Looking at the shape of your apple, I think you can train it in a fan shape. You need to put up some wires to secure your branches to and trim any vertical shoots. If you have a side of your garden the gets all the sun, plant it against the relevant fence.

This week seems to be about paying tribute to some back-in-the-day hairstyles. Kim Kardashian shared a childhood memory of her and sister Kourtney in matchy-matchy cheerleader-like gear with, best of all, very Sandra Dee-inspired ponytails.
Then there was Michael Strahan's princess moment in a pink tiara, Taraji Henson as a tot all about the bows, and Julianne Hough missing her brunette locks. (See, blondes don't always have more fun, so, shh, Rod Stewart.)
So without further ado, feast your eyes on today's hair-tastic Throwback Thursday: Hollywood Edition.

New Nintendo eShop releases: Level-5 sale, Tetris Axis
There's a ton on the 3DS eShop this week, between retail re-releases (Tetris Axis, Harvest Moon: A Tale of Two Towns) and new original games. On top of that, Level-5's Guild series sale begins today, with all three of its eShop games to date discounted. It's a good chance to check out that bizarre ...
Tetris Axis has a lot more going on than just Tetris
No, you don't need a trailer to know how Tetris works, but you do need one to see the surprisingly numerous array of extra modes in the 3DS game, Tetris Axis. The bonus games range far beyond the normal "Tetris with some blocks already laid out," including weirdo modes like one in which you gui...

Final Score: NC State 65, Tennessee 58
Knoxville, TN (SportsNetwork.com) - T.J. Warren had a double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds, as the NC State Wolfpack defeated the Tennessee Volunteers, 65-58, in a non-conference contest at Thompson-Boling Arena.
Anthony Barber scored 12 points and added four assists for the Wolfpack (8-2), who have won six straight. Desmond Lee chipped in 10 points, while BeeJay Anya made an impact on the defensive end with five blocks.
Jordan McRae led the Volunteers (6-4) with 21 points. Jeronne Maymon (17 points, 16 rebounds) and Jarnell Stokes (10 points, 13 rebounds) both posted double-doubles in the setback.
NC State took a 37-20 lead into the break because of Tennessee's poor shooting. The Volunteers shot 24.1 from the field and missed all nine of their 3-point attempts in the first half. The Wolfpack went 2-of-3 from beyond the arc and made 50 percent of their field goal tries overall.
The Wolfpack struggled a bit in the second half, only shooting 37.5 percent from the field, but Tennessee continued its shooting woes (.333) as NC State held on.
NC State played well inside, holding a 36-26 edge in points in the paint. The visitors never trailed in the game.

Alex Clare Dishes On Adele's Compliments, Turning Down Beyonce
Welcome back to the Celebuzz Meet & Greet, where we talk with rising actors, musicians and entertainers before they hit it big. Watch out for these future A-listers!
For Alex Clare, turning down Beyonce may be one of the best decisions of his life.
Before releasing his album, The Lateness of the Hour, the British caterer-turned-musician was approached by the hip-hop singer's team for one of his tracks.
While he turned the singer down -- in what he calls an "idiot" move -- the gamble paid off with Clare's album going on to gain international success, thanks in part to his second single "Too Close" featuring in Microsoft's advertisement campaign and peaking at number four on the UK Singles Chart.
Celebuzz recently caught up with Clare, 26, to chat about how he's handling success, and the praises he's receiving from music icons like Adele.
How did you react when you heard that Beyonce was interested in your music?
It's a big compliment. I mean, if you write music, it's not much different if say the public likes the music. The fact that anyone likes your music if you're a musician is a compliment.
Beyonce's team wanted your song, "Relax My Beloved," on her record. Tell us how it all went down.
I wrote it. I wrote the song in its entirety and, like an idiot, I should've probably just said, "Yeah. Go on, Beyonce, you can have it." But I think if you write a song and you have a strong attachment to it, it's kind of hard to give it up.
Would you ever write a song for Beyonce then?
Hell yeah! She's an ultimate pop star. I will gladly go and write a song for her if she wanted another song. I will do that in a heartbeat.
Adele is a pretty big fan. How do you feel about the attention that you're getting from these music icons?
It's okay. It's fine. People are just people you know. And people like music. I wouldn't see the difference. Music is universal and doesn't really discriminate. Anyone has the right to enjoy it.
You actually went to catering school before going into music.
I did. I studied cooking and then I left school. I left school at sixteen and then went to catering school and studied that for a few years.
Why music?
I think it should probably go the other way around. Music is very much a part of me and I was still playing in a band and writing music back then, but it takes a while to make any living out of making music.
Now, you've worked with big names like Diplo and Switch. Tell us a little bit about what the recording and writing process was like.
It's basically working with two very talented kids with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) -- that's basically how the whole process works. You have to lock them in a room and say, "Alright, now sit down, shut up and let's make a song." Then you actually make a song and it kind of works. I wrote probably 90 percent of the album before I met them. We shot around our ideas and then put the album together.
Do you think that you will ever collaborate with Diplo and Switch again?
I think it's certainly a possibility.
What's next for Alex Clare?
Working for the next six months. Then, we'll start recording, and hopefully start recording album number two by the end of the year.
Is there anyone you have in mind you'd like to work with for the next album?
I have two people in mind, but I think I need to do a lot more writing before I really go into really serious production. Any names that are mentioned will have to be between me and them. I don't want to look silly.

Slain MIT officer memorialized at campus serviceBy RODRIQUE NGOWI
The Associated Press | April 25,2013AP Photo
Law enforcement officers assemble at a memorial service for fallen Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus officer Sean Collier at MIT in Cambridge, Mass., Wednesday.CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Slain Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer Sean Collier was remembered Wednesday for his dedication to law enforcement and his love of people as thousands gathered at a campus memorial.
Vice President Joe Biden joined students, faculty and staff, and law enforcement officials from across the nation at Briggs Field for the service to honor an officer who was already well-respected by his colleagues and superiors, and popular with students after little more than a year on campus
Collier was fatally shot April 18, three days after the Boston Marathon bombings that killed three people. Authorities say he was shot by brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was charged Monday in his hospital room, where he is in fair condition with a gunshot wound to the throat suffered during his attempted getaway. His brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan, died Friday after a gunbattle with police.
My heart goes out to you, Biden told Colliers family. I hope you find some solace in this time of extreme grief.
Biden called the brothers suspected in the bombings and Colliers killing two twisted, perverted, cowardly, knock-off jihadis
He said he is constantly asked the question of why terrorists do what they do against the U.S.
Ive come to the conclusion they do it to instill fear, Biden said. To have us, in the name of our safety and security, jettison what we value most in the world, our open society, our system of justice that guarantees freedom. ... Our transparency; thats their target.
It infuriates them that we refuse to bend, refuse to change, refuse to bend to fear.
Colliers casket was positioned in front of the thousands who gathered on a bright, sunny spring day. Music of bagpipes echoed through the field and a large American flag, suspended high about the crowd between two fire department ladder trucks, flapped slowly in the breeze.
Boston native James Taylor sang The Water is Wide and led a sing-along during Shower the People.
Biden told the Colliers that no child should predecease their parents, and that better times are ahead.
The moment will come ... when the memory of Sean is triggered and you know its going to be OK, Biden said. When the first instinct is to get a smile on your lips before a tear to your eye.
Andrew Collier said his 26-year-old brother would have loved everything about the day, including the bagpipes and the American flag.
He was born to be a police officer and lived out his dream, Collier said.
MIT President L. Rafael Reif told those gathered that Collier made countless friends on campus.
Sean Collier didnt have a job at MIT, he had a life at MIT, Reif said. In just 15 months, he built a life with us. He touched people across our community.
Campus Police Chief John DiFava acknowledged the risk that accompanied the position of police officer, but questioned whether the risk of a job in law enforcement needed to come with such devastation.
Sean left a lot behind, DiFava said. He left us a lesson: Do it right!
If you want to cherish his memory, remember to do it right, he said.
State police said between 4,000 and 5,000 attended the service. The line of mourners stretched for about a half mile at MIT ahead of the service. They had to make their way through tight security, including metal detectors and bomb-sniffing dogs ahead of the service.
He is the one of the nicest people that Ive ever met, said Kelly Daumit, 35, of Seattle, an engineering student at MIT who had gone on hikes with Collier as part of the MIT Outing Club. Everything people are saying about him is completely genuine; its not because of what happened.
MIT employee Larry Clark said he had only talked to Collier a couple of times but wanted to pay his respects.
Its very tough. Its still a shock, he said.
Bagpipers played Amazing Grace as Colliers casket was carried from the service, and there was a fly-by with three helicopters over the campus.
A funeral was held for the officer on Tuesday.MORE IN Wire NewsMcALESTER, Okla. Full StoryCHARLESTON, S.C. James B. Full StoryPANAMA CITY, Fla. Full Story

A Bailout for All Our Bad Decisions? (Mark Sanford)Submitted by speculor on Fri, 09/26/2008 - 13:32
I really want to like and
I really want to like and support Mark Sanford but I once felt that way about Sara Palin. This quote Of Sanford's bothered me:
"I am not writing to criticize Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. I respect his business judgment greatly, and his unenviable task is to find a short-term solution to problems grown by government over the long term. Whether his proposals are right or wrong is less the issue than the question of where we are, as a society, in terms of having government in the business of protecting people from their own financial decisions."
It seems to smack of pandering to me. I will withhold my judgment about Governor Sanford until I hear his views on foreign policy though, because he is heroic in his opposition to the Real ID.
Fairly decent article
for Sanford, all things considered.
I used to feel pretty optimistic about him, prior to his endorsement of McCain during this election cycle, when his endorsement would have meant alot for Ron Paul's chances to improve in the SC primary.
Then I started seeing thru him, once I started looking.
Here's the last line from the bottom of that article:
"Mark Sanford, a Republican, is governor of South Carolina. He represented South Carolina for three terms in the U.S. House and was formerly employed by Goldman Sachs."
Also, he attended the Bildergerger meeting this year.
Make no mistake, he's a "ring-knocker" that's trying to "pass", as the old people used to say.
However, if he says something that might help our cause, I'll accept it.
But I'm not going to trust him half as far as I could throw him.
I detect a number of Paul-ish like statements in Gov.
Sanford's writing. Perhaps we could say that it's a very paul-ished piece of writing ?
"An economy built on fiat money is a society on its way to ashes."
"An economy built on fiat money is a society on its way to ashes."

From FamilySearch Wiki
Canada Nova Scotia Probate Records
Probate records such as wills, inventories, and administrations are very helpful. Many of these records (especially wills) give names, dates, residences, possessions, and relationships. Probate registration began in Halifax in 1749. The probate materials are usually found in the county courthouses of Nova Scotia. Record Group 48 in the Public Archives of Nova Scotia consists of many probate records. The Family History Library has microfilms of probate records for all counties, often up to the 1930s or 1960s. A list of deeds and probates held at the Public Archives of Nova Scotia is found in Genealogical Research in Nova Scotia, by Terrence M. Punch, page 86 (see Nova Scotia For Further Reading).

Just two things I dislike about this mod:
1. Range of the arrows shooted from the fortress and defensive towers is too long. Much longer then the range of the siege enqines.
2. Mumakil is pretty useless vs buildings. In the vanilla game he pretty much decimated every building within few seconds ( thats how it should be ) but in this mod he cannot even destroy a freakin farm.
Fix this two things and I will be heappy
P.S: But that will not happen because this mod is already dead. Ah well :/

Not too long after a man ambushed and killed two police officers sitting in a patrol car in New York City , the finger-pointing started.
Ismaaiyl Brinsley walked up to officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos on Saturday in Brooklyn, and shot both in the head, authorities said.
Police said he later used the same gun to commit suicide.
Former New York Gov. George Pataki and police union officials quickly lashed out at Mayor Bill de Blasio, whom they accused of putting officers' lives at risk with his support for recent protests.
Police officers gathered at the hospital where the slain officers were taken followed suit. When the mayor entered a news conference to condemn the killings, they turned their backs on him.
As de Blasio walked by, officers quietly faced the walls.
Earlier, grieving officers and New York Fire Department personnel saluted an ambulance carrying the two officers as it made its way down the street.
They stood at attention, some with tears rolling down their cheeks.
Ex-governor blames mayor
Pataki cast disdain at the mayor and the attorney general in a post on Twitter.
"Sickened by these barbaric acts, which sadly are a predictable outcome of divisive anti-cop rhetoric of Eric Holder and Mayor de Blasio," he tweeted.
He was referring to de Blasio's and Holder's support for peaceful protesters decrying alleged police brutality after the killing of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, two unarmed black men who died in confrontations with officers this year.
Protesters have taken to streets nationwide to demand an end to killings of unarmed people by police officers.
Hours before Saturday's attack, Brinsley appeared to make statements on social media implying he planned to kill officers and expressing outrage over the deaths of Garner and Brown.
Pat Lynch, the head of New York's Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, has vehemently attacked the mayor before and did so again the day of the shooting.
"There's blood on many hands tonight," Lynch said before making reference to the mayor's office.
De Blasio did not respond to the denunciations against him, but he condemned the killing of the officers as an "assassination" while Holder described it as a "cowardly attack."
#BlueLivesMatter and #BlackLivesMatter
Not to be outdone, social media users joined the fray. Others objected to the finger pointing.
Some turned to hashtags #BlackLivesMatter for Garner and Brown -- and #BlueLivesMatter for police officers -- to share their opinions.
"Everyone who turned Michael Brown into a saint, the assassination of those cops is on you," username @mattcale52 tweeted.
Akilah Hughes said the trading of accusations is unnecessary.
"#BlackLivesMatter is a call for justice, not a call for retribution," she tweeted. "Do not pin the death of these two NYPD officers on a peaceful movement."
David Simpson said supporters should not pick one side or the other.
"... #BlackLivesMatter and #BlueLivesMatter and #AllLivesMatter," he tweeted. "Recognize racism, push for justice for all."
Officials weigh in
The murders triggered reactions of condemnation and sadness from across the nation. Here are a few:
President Barack Obama
"Two brave men won't be going home to their loved ones tonight, and for that, there is no justification. The officers who serve and protect our communities risk their own safety for ours every single day -- and they deserve our respect and gratitude every single day."
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio
De Blasio also called the shootings an "assassination."
"It is an attack on all of us," he said. "It is an attack on everything we hold dear."
Eric Holder
"This cowardly attack underscores the dangers that are routinely faced by those who protect and serve their fellow citizens.
"Our nation must always honor the valor -- and the sacrifices -- of all law enforcement officers with a steadfast commitment to keeping them safe."
Loretta E. Lynch
Obama's nominee for attorney general is the current U.S. attorney for the eastern district of New York. She pledged her district's support in the investigation.
"Today, two have fallen, in a stark reminder of the challenges and risks that our law enforcement officers face every day, both in New York City and throughout our nation," Lynch said.
Michael Brown's family
Brown's family condemned the slayings.
"We reject any kind of violence directed toward members of law enforcement. It cannot be tolerated. We must work together to bring peace to our communities," they said in a statement.
The Rev. Al Sharpton
"Any use of the names of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, in connection with any violence or killing of police, is reprehensible and against the pursuit of justice in both cases. We have stressed at every rally and march that anyone engaged in any violence is an enemy to the pursuit of justice for Eric Garner and Michael Brown."

At some point in any relationship, you have to decide whether you can either accept the other person as they are, or move on with your life. When it comes to children, is it ever okay to just walk away from it?
This question came to mind from another post on a forum, where the daughter is determined that the stepmother (after a couple of decades of marriage to her dad) shouldn't attend her wedding. The situation seemed to be coming from years of bad feelings that never got worked out, and possibly a mom who didn't help the situation. Whenever the dad tries to remedy the situation, it doesn't go well. From my perspective, it seems that they are left in the position of accepting whatever crumbs the daughter is willing to send their way.
Is it ever time to just stop beating your head against the wall and decide to take a break from that child? Do you just have to keep at it, or have faith that in time the child will come around?

Egypt's Government nearing end of the road?
February 7, 2013 5:58 by Reuters
To his critics, Ahmed Shafik is a typical autocrat consigned to history's dustbin by the Arab Spring – a military man turned politician who ended his career amid corruption allegations and fled to the Gulf.
To his friends – and he has powerful ones in the oil-rich Arabian peninsula – the former air force pilot and prime minister is an authentic voice of opposition to the civilian politician who beat him narrowly in a presidential run-off vote.
Whatever the truth, Shafik is confident that with Egypt in turmoil seven months into its experiment with Islamist rule, its often-reviled political old guard will eventually be seen by Egyptians, and by Washington, in a more kindly light.
"Egyptians reject the current regime," said the silver-haired 71-year-old, the last prime minister of Hosni Mubarak, the president who was ousted in 2011 after three decades in power.
"They do not reject the regime from nothing, they reject it as a result of the actions that have taken place over the last seven months … It has not been a success."
"There's is a new system for terrorizing the Egyptian people and this is an indication of anxiety within the upper levels of the regime and of the nearing of the end of the road."
He spoke to Reuters in a gated luxury hotel-managed villa in Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates, where he fled with his daughters and grandchildren in June 2012, two days after his opponent, Mohamed Mursi, was declared president.
Shafik says Egypt's first popularly elected president is driving the country deeper into political, economic and social turmoil and as a result will lose power.
In recent months, opposition groups have criticized Mursi's perceived drift towards authoritarianism, which they say fueled unrest this year in which at least 59 people were killed.
Shafik said the government's inexperience is to blame and – in a reflex from the Mubarak years – said "terrorism" was embedded in the now-dominant Islamist political groups. Mursi's roots are in the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist movement founded in Egypt in the 1928.
"The situation is not stable," Shafik said. "You can't bring a group from nothing to suddenly running a country of 90 million people with a lot of problems and a sensitive geographical location."
He said he did not intend to leave Egypt forever and would return "when the time is right", despite being on an official watch list over graft charges which he dismisses as politicised.
"I decided to leave because I couldn't guarantee what would happen … When you have someone who is opposing you who is sane you would be reassured about his reaction, but when you have someone opposing you who is insane then you don't know how he'll react," he said.
Shafik speaks loudly and moves constantly. He also carries himself in a combative, stubborn manner, a trait reminiscent of his old boss, Mubarak, Egyptians close to the old guard say.
In a military career spanning four decades, Shafik served as a senior fighter pilot under Mubarak's command, and was credited for shooting down two Israeli aircrafts in the October 1973 war.
Shafik predicted Washington's view of Egypt's political Islamist rulers would become steadily less benign.
"The U.S. used to think that empowering Islamist political parties would bring an end to Islamistterrorism," he said.
"Only recently did they find out that Islamist terrorism is embedded within these parties," he said.
The United States, which was a staunch ally of Mubarak until he was overthrown in 2011, is now trying to build a dependable relationship with Mursi.

TSC Ratings' Updates: Limited Brands
KBR had been rated a hold since March 24, 2008.
Acorda Therapeutics (ACOR) has been downgraded from hold to sell. Acorda Therapeutics identifies, develops and commercializes novel therapies that improve neurological function in people with multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury and other disorders of the central nervous system. The company's drug, Zanaflex Capsules, is FDA-approved for the management of spasticity. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity, weak operating cash flow and feeble growth in its earnings per share.
The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared with that of the S&P 500 and the biotechnology industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 130.6% when compared with the same quarter one year ago, falling from -$8.16 million to -$18.82 million.
Current return on equity is lower than its return on equity from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. Compared with other companies in the biotechnology industry and the overall market, ACOR's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$8.42 million or 114.38% when compared with the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing it with the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower. ACOR has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most-recent quarter in comparison with its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, ACOR has continued to lose money by earning -$1.43 vs. -$3.10 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 47.5% in earnings (-$2.11 vs. -$1.43).

I'm trying to write an application that creates a .idw drawing from a .ipt file in vb.net.
Now I want to predefine a layout, where the projected views should gonna be, independent which .ipt file I have.
Do I create a new .idw and make it look like I want, then save it and open it within the application?
But if I change the savepath it ask me where the file (.ipt) is.
So now I could choose my one, right? But how can I choose my .ipt file in the application?
It won't let me do an operation like openwith or something like that.
Or does there exists another way to predefine a layout?
Thanks in advance,

Look up Sheet Formats in Inventor Help
This allows you to pre-define a sheet layout.
Thanks Mike, this is what I was looking for.
But now I have a few other problems:
1) I have a idw and a ipt. The idw is made of the ipt. Now I'm going to change some parameters of the ipt, and open without saving, the idw, which is now updated.
Now I want to export the idw to dwg (pdf,jpg.. are working).
If I use the command below, Inventor asks me, if I want also to save the dipendents.
Dim oDoc As Inventor.DrawingDocument = _invApp.ActiveDocument oDoc.SaveAsInventorDWG("C:\Inventor\Drawing.dwg", True)
How can I skip this step without saving the dipendents?
2) Like I described in my first post, I would like to create automatically a idw file from a ipt.
I have already a ipt file and a idw file. Now I'm going to change some parameters of my ipt file. The drawing will update like written above. Now my problem is, that I have to find a way to set the right scaling.
Doc.Sheets(1).DrawingViews(1).ScaleString = "1:5"
This command would help me here. But my problem is to find the needed scaling, maybe you have some ideas?
I thought already to take the original ipt and write out the height and width, then, after setting the parameters, reget the size and then create the difference and look at the ratio.
But I havn't found a way to get the general size of my part file.
3) It's there any possibility to save a ipt as, for example, dwg, but in a old version? I've read about, that the setting is in a ini file, but I didn't really get it.

Walking and driving up to this hotel is impressive. It's in a great location and it very beautiful. It's on a really nice stretch of beach and we found it suited our needs quite nicely. We didn't eat at any of the restaurants so we can't comment on those but walking about to find food was interesting and fun. The elevator thing is silly - just fix the thing and quit writing letters and posting signs. It really is needed when the hotel gets full. The store was nice too. ...

Smokers, people next to our room smoked out on the balcony, blew into our room if the door was open. We were to fly first class all the way did not happen, only one flight was first class, would have been better if all had been.

If you only want the ocean view, beach and a pool, stay somewhere else! Too expensive for such a dump! Room was not ready when we arrived. The room was old and very dated. Mold, bugs and foul odors. The bugs invaded our personal belongings! No bathrobes or slippers were ever delivered. The housekeeping service was awful. They didn't clean anything and folded our used towels like the were new! My husband had to hunt one down for Kleenex and coffee, then she only gave us coffee, no creamer, etc. Our used mugs and glasses were rinsed out and put back into place, I know because my lipstick was still on them! Along with the bugs. When I complained at the desk, I was told a supervisor would be right up, that never happened. We only had housekeeping on 1 day of our 4 day trip! The hotel staff acted nice until you had a question then they were rude. We asked for a local eatery with real PR food and they sent us to the largest tourist restaurant in San Juan! Expect a taxi to cost about $35 no matter where you go. The taxi drivers will drop you off saying it's right around the corner when it's really 8 to 10 blocks away, so bring good walking shoes! Rental car at hotel about $60 per day. Food was overpriced just like the drinks and not very good. Ate mostly in the area and found great places. No free drinks at the casino. Pool bar closes at 6pm, which is when most people want to relax after a busy day. Two elevators were working on the first day, then only one. Then NONE! You had to take the stairs! Being on the 11th floor, we found the service elevator which brought you to the kitchen. They had it fixed soon but just back to one. The beach and pool were beautiful but they charge you for tables and umbrellas. The hotel charges you for everything they can! Resort fees of $31 per day added to my bill. Go elsewhere! ...

It is a good store. It sells lots of thing that may be hard to find elsewhere. It can be expensive at times, so it is best to wait for the products you want to come on sale. People on this site are complaining about the website. That does not reflect the shops. It is not the shop's fault if a package is not delivered, it is the company's fault.

If I lived close enough to an H&B store of course I would use it but I live in the North of Scotland and nearest store is 80 miles away. It is therefore a day out just to get to the store to buy a couple of items. I have used the online service for the first time so will wait to see how this unfolds before making any judgement.

Inspiration projects for next-generation Torrus
Posted by txlab in Programming on November 15, 2014
It's not yet clear when I can start working on a new-generation Torrus, but here are some nice software projects which would probably inspire the new design, or probably be part of the new design. I haven't looked into them in depth though.
- Bosun is a distributed monitoring system produced by StackExchange. It uses distributed collector agents which write data into OpenTSDB. Bosun and its collector are written in Go, and OpenTSDB is written in Java.
- InfluxDB is a time-series database written in Go.
and yes, the new project will most probably have its core in Go. But the SNMP discovery engine will most probably remain in Perl because of a big list of supported vendors.
Using Voxbeam for outbound calls with FreeSWITCH
Posted by txlab in Networking on October 21, 2014
Voxbeam is providing worldwide PSTN connectivity at competitive rates, and it allows you to use any Caller ID, which is very convenient for call forwarding. The Voxbeam gateway authenticates the clients by their IP addresses only, so you need a static IP address, and no username or password are required. The FreeSWITCH configuration shown below allows you to control which destinations should be routed to Voxbeam. With a bit of further extension, you can also control which destinations would use different tariff plans at Voxbeam. This configuration covers only their Standard pricing plan. Here INTERNALDOMAIN is a name of the SIP realm that is used for registered users. We assume that the variable "outbound_caller_id_number" is set elsewhere above in the dialplan.
--- File: ip_profiles/external/voxbeam.xml --- <include> <gateway name="voxbeam_outbound"> <param name="realm" value="sbc.voxbeam.com" /> <param name="register" value="false" /> <!-- important, so that your caller ID is transmitted properly --> <param name="caller-id-in-from" value="true"/> </gateway> </include> --- File: dialplan/INTERNALDOMAIN/05_pstn_outbound.xml --- <include> <!-- Express destination and caller numbers in E.164 notation without leading plus sign. Note that we treat numbers with one leading zero as local Swiss numbers --> <extension name="pstn_normalize" continue="true"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^00([1-9]\d+)$" break="never"> <action inline="true" application="set" data="e164_dest=$1"/> </condition> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^0([1-9]\d+)$" break="never"> <action inline="true" application="set" data="e164_dest=41$1"/> </condition> <condition field="${outbound_caller_id_number}" expression="^00([1-9]\d+)$" break="never"> <action inline="true" application="set" data="e164_cid=$1"/> </condition> <condition field="${outbound_caller_id_number}" expression="^0([1-9]\d+)$" break="never"> <action inline="true" application="set" data="e164_cid=41$1"/> </condition> </extension> <!-- Here we define that calls to Russia and Ukraine should go through Voxbeam --> <extension name="pstn_select_itsp" continue="true"> <condition field="${e164_dest}" expression="^(7|38)" break="on-true"> <action inline="true" application="set" data="outbound_itsp=voxbeam"/> </condition> </extension> <!-- send matched calls to Voxbeam --> <extension name="pstn_voxbeam"> <condition field="${outbound_itsp}" expression="^voxbeam$" break="on-false"> <action application="set" data="effective_caller_id_number=${e164_cid}"/> <action application="bridge" data="sofia/gateway/voxbeam_outbound/0011103${e164_dest}"/> </condition> </extension> <!-- send everything else to Sipcall.ch --> <extension name="pstn_sipcall"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^(0\d+)$"> <action application="set" data="effective_caller_id_number=${outbound_caller_id_number}"/> <action application="bridge" data="sofia/gateway/sipcall/$1"/> </condition> </extension> </include>
This is a very simple example, and a bit more logic can be introduced, such as looking up in some kind of a database for least cost routing, and so on.
Installing Go 1.3 in debian wheezy

mSATA drives for PC Engines APU
Drives with problems:
- KingSpec 16GB (Model Number: KingSpec KSM-mSATA.7i-016MJ, Firmware Revision: SVN454): quite often, the kernel times out to boot at the start.
- SuperSSpeed S238: with the old firmware, TRIM operation erased the boot sector. The newer firmware disables TRIM.
Drives without problems (everything works fine with TRIM)
- MyDigitalSSD Super Boot Drive (Model Number: SB mSATA SSD, Firmware Revision: S9FM01.8)
- SanDisk X110 (Model Number: SanDisk SD6SF1M032G1022I, Firmware Revision: X231200)
- Kingston Now (Model Number: KINGSTON SMS200S330G, Firmware Revision: 524ABBF0)
The testing procedure is quite simple: a background process is massively creating and deleting a small file, and another process calls fstrim every few seconds. Then the health of the filesystem is checked after an hour or so.

3G connectivity for PC Engines APU
Posted by txlab in Networking on June 20, 2014
PC Engines' APU board has its mPCIe slot 2 wired to the SIM card socket, which allows using any standard mPCIe 3G modem. Most of modern modems are quite expensive, but there are plenty of Sierra Wireless MC8775 cards at aliexpress.com for around $20 apiece. This is a decent hardware, manufactured around 2007-2011. It doesn't deliver the highest UMTS speeds possible, but still can be used in situations where speed is unimportant.
The cards that I bought came with firmware version 1_1_8_15, dated 2007/07/17. I didn't test it fully, but there are some failure reports in the internet.
The firmware upgrade requires an adapter with a SIM card slot. I got mine from this eBay seller.
This page describes the firmware upgrade process. The links to istudioz.net are still valid, but you need to remove # (%23) from the URLs. The 3G watcher for the AirCard 875 is unavailable at its original place, but easy to find with Google. I got mine at this site. The upgrade requires a 32bit Windows machine, and takes about 20 minutes. I upgraded the firmware successfully with my old Vista laptop.
Also I bought the 3G antenna and the pigtail cable at aliexpress.
After inserting the 3G modem into mPCIe slot 2 and booting Debian Wheezy, the device was immediately visible as three serial USB interfaces (/dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/ttyUSB2). ttyUSB0 is used for data, and ttyUSB2 can be used for controlling the device with AT commands. The command "AT^CARDMODE" will tell if the SIM card is inserted, and "AT!GSTATUS?" displays the network status information. "AT+GMR" displays the current firmware version. Ctrl-a Ctrl-x sequence will finish the picocom session.
apt-get install -y wvdial picocom picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB2 AT^CARDMODE AT!GSTATUS? AT+GMR Ctrl-a Ctrl-x
The following /etc/wvdial.conf works with Sunrise.ch 3G network:
[Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Baud = 460800 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Phone = *99# Username = '' Password = '' Ask Password = 0 Stupid Mode = 1 Compuserve = 0 Idle Seconds = 0 ISDN = 0 Auto DNS = 1
Execute "wvdial" comand from the command line, and it should immediately connect to the internet. The rest is easy: you can place wvdial into a startup script and execute it automatically at boot time.
Simple performance test for FreeSWITCH conferencing
Posted by txlab in Networking on May 7, 2014
This is a simple test that gives you an estimation of audio conferencing scalability of FreeSWITCH on your hardware.
- You need one or two FreeSWITCH servers, and one of them should answer to sip:moh@IPADDR:5080. The fastest way is to install this FreeSWITCH configuration: https://github.com/xlab1/voip_qos_probe
- Edit vars.xml and remove G722 codec (or leave or replace it, if you want to test transcoding performance at the same time).
- Start FreeSWITCH:
service freeswitch start
- Create conference participants by calling the MOH extension on the remote or the same server. This command will add a few dozens of participants in one go:
timeout 2 sh -c "while true; do fs_cli -x 'conference xx dial sofia/internal/moh@IPADDR:5080'; done"
- check the number of participants:
fs_cli -x 'show channels'
- run "top" or "mpstat -P ALL 1″ to see the CPU load, and add more batches of participants.
This test differs from real world because in a real conference, one speaks and others are listening. Here everyone speaks at the same time. FreeSWITCH evaluates the energy level to find the active speaker before replicating their voice, so I guess the real conference would take less CPU power (need to look into the source code).
Some test results: PC Engines APU platform with 50 conference participants had the CPU usage about 60%. A single core VPS at digitalocean.com was busy at around 50% during a test with 200 participants.
UPD1: (thanks bob bowles) Call out to yourself and monitor the sound quality with your own ear:
fs_cli -x 'conference human dial firstname.lastname@example.com'
End-to-end VoIP quality testing probes
Posted by txlab in Networking on April 26, 2014
This is a result of a project where we needed to measure voice QoS parameters (jitter and packet loss) in the customer network. I've set up small probe computers (old 10″ Intel Atom netbooks like Acer Aspire One) with FreeSWITCH and a few scripts for test automation. Each test consists of a 30-second call (producing approximately 1500 RTP packets in each direction), and tshark is measuring the received jitter and loss on each side.
Test details and the installation procedure are outlined on Github:
FreeSWITCH performance test on PC Engines APU
Posted by txlab in Networking on April 18, 2014
This test is analogous to the one I described for Intel Atom CPU.This time it's the new APU board from PC Engines, the maker of famous ALIX and WRAP boards. APU is a fanless appliance board, with a dual-core 1GHz AMD G series CPU. The overall performance is comparable to that of Intel Atom.
In these tests, FreeSWITCH was forwarding the call to itself on request by pressing *1. Each such forwarding resulted in creating four new channels in G722 and G711, thus resulting in transcoding to G711 and back. For example, if "show channels" shows 5 channels, it's equivalent to 2 simultaneous calls with transcoding.
Test result: 57 channels were running completely fine, 65 channels had slight distortions, and with 85 channels the speech was still recognizable, but with significant distortions. With Speex instead of G722, distortions were quite annoying at 25 channels. Thus, the APU platform can easily be used as a small-to-medium business PBX for 20-30 simultaneous calls if there's not too much transcoding.
Test details follow.
PC Engines APU board: installing Debian on mSATA drive
Posted by txlab in Networking on April 6, 2014
PC Engines started shipping its new APU board in 2014. It can boot from an SD card (slow on writes), and it can also have an mSATA drive and boot from it (fast read-write, and more write cycles). Voyage Linux is well optimized for SD card.
Here I started my scripts for building a Debian CD and installing it on APU's mSATA drive: https://github.com/ssinyagin/pcengines-apu-debian-cd
Call forwarding/redirection in FreeSWITCH
Posted by txlab in Networking on February 16, 2014
Consider you have two different contexts in your dialplan for inbound and outbound calls: the "public" context transfers the calls into "XXX_inbound" (XXX being your organization name), and the user directory has "XXX_outbound" as "user_context" variable.
Having two contexts, you have more flexibility in defining the short dial strings and outbound destinations.
But there's a little problem: if the SIP client redirects the ringing call, or if the user makes an attended transfer, FreeSWITCH would initiate a new outbound leg in the same context where the call was bridged toward the SIP client.
As a solution, you need to define a new extension in your XXX_inbound context which would match PSTN outbound numbers. The channel will already have all custom variables which were set before bridging toward the SIP client, so you can set an additional condition criteria to make sure that this is the redirected call. This example would be placed at the bottom of the inbound context, and "directory_ext" is the variable that was earlier in the same context before the call was bridged to the SIP client:
<extension name="call_forward"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^\d+$"/> <condition field="${directory_ext}" expression="^70\d$"> <action application="set" data="hangup_after_bridge=true"/> <action application="set" data="continue_on_fail=false"/> <action application="bridge" data="${outgw}/${destination_number}"/> </condition> </extension>
