Album review
Best Of British
It's four years since we had a new album from one of Britain's greatest living songwriters—Thompson's longest period of silence in a prolific career that began with Fairport Convention in the late '60s. The Old Kit Bag is his first album since he turned 50, so he's probably entitled to a rest, although the delay probably has more to do with looking for a new home after the expiry of his contract with Capitol.
Thompson remains the most British of songwriters. His last album was called Mock Tudor and the one before that was a song-cycle about the Industrial Revolution. The Old Kit Bag's subject matter is more universal, but the imagery—both musical and lyrical—is still uniquely Albion across a dozen exquisite songs, supported by a rhythm section he refers to as "the chaps" (Danny Thompson on double bass and drummer Michael Jerome), with occasional backing vocals from Judith Owen.
From the get-go on the hypnotic "Gethsemane", we are reminded that Thompson is one of our most distinctive guitarists. When it's followed by the bluesy "Jealous Words" and the '60s-tinged "I'll Tag Along", it's apparent this is basically a rock album. Even "A Love You Can't Survive", which starts as a dark acoustic ballad, ends with one of his most powerful solos.
"One Door Opens" is a mandolin stomp, and "Destiny" is probably the nearest he's ever going to get to a conventional pop song. "Got No Right" at first sounds an oddity, a jazzy, late-night tale of broken love, but develops into one of the album's key songs. "Pearly Jim" is another tough rocker before we hit the home straight with the over-dramatic "Sight Unseen", the sombre "Outside On The Inside" and the accordion-drenched "Happy Days And Auld Lang Syne", which manages to sound about two centuries old but isn't.
The Old Kit Bag doesn't quite make it into the Thompson solo Top 10 alongside I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight and Shoot Out The Lights. But it's good to have him back.

Following trends is unavoidable. We all do it. In fashion for ourselves or for our home we can't avoid what is out in the stores and available to us to purchase. There is also the media, print publications, and the web pushing us towards what choices are popular.
I am sure we all have color trend memories, some good, some not so good. In my lifetime I recall the peach and mint, mauve and wedgewood blue, navy, hunter and bungundy…the list goes on and on. In the past few years blue and brown were everywhere. I personally still like the combination, but it is no longer in vogue.
new blue and brown
So what to do with that expensive fabric and furniture in blues and browns? Here are some suggestions.
First, don't take anything away, just add another color. This is an easy and inexpensive solution.
I have always been a green girl and colors inspired by nature are never out of style. Brown like the earth, blue like the sky and green like the grass and trees. How can you go wrong with this timeless combination?
Highland Court, one of my favorite fabric lines, a division of Duralee, has some great fabrics incorporating these colors.
Option number two, change your art. Adding black and white art to a blue and brown room adds a modern touch and a bright new feeling.
Another way to go is a bold print using a bright bold color (red or orange) to pump it up a bit. It really makes a huge difference to recover one upholstered piece of furniture or just change out pillows if you choose a distinctive colorful pattern.
And if you still love this combo, think about switching up the shades of brown or blue. Try an aqua, navy, or teal. If you have soft neutral walls switch to a deep chocolate with undertones of eggplant. (Sherwin Williams Marooned). A nice grey toned taupey brown is also a great pick.
Below is a great new 2010 palette recommendation from Benjamin Moore Paints.
Inspiration… out of style color palette, Realization…easy updates.

Republic of Awesome
The Fantastic People's Republic of Awesome | |||
| |||
Motto We are the Proudly Ridiculous | |||
Anthem We Will Rock You | |||
Capital city | Capital City, Awesome New Prussia | ||
Official language(s) | Aussie English | ||
Demonym | Andersonian | ||
Government | Democratic Republic | ||
- Dictator | ObsydianDreamer | ||
Area claimed | annexed backyards | ||
Population | 20 | ||
National sport | Running in Circles | ||
National animal | Pangolin/Hemashema |
The Republic of Awesome was formed on August 22, 2010. The old motto was: If it's fun, it's legal! Unless it impacts on someone else's right to do likewise, in which case it is not legal. However, in the wake of a certain magazine article, the government have changed it. Now, in 2012 we have many districts in many different places. Mostly we all annexed our backyards. Our dedicated wiki can be foun here: http://republicofawesome.wikia.com/wiki/Republic_of_Awesome The wiki is under construction as of current times as our nation is still developing.
The Republic of Awesome was formed on August 22, 2010, as the founders were of the belief that the leaders of Australia (the macronation they were part of) aren't doing enough to help the planet. It has around 30 citizens (as of 2010); however, a 2012 census will likely cause the figure to change.
The Republic of Awesome is a democratic republic. In order for legislation to pass, it must be approved by a majority of ministers. Each minister has a sector they are in charge of, with sectors including health, education, environmental protection, finance, biro pens, pyromaniacs, technology, pyro-technology, defence, Cloud Appreciation, protection of the Hemashema, lunatics, infrastructure, arts, gaming and Everything Else.
Unlike Australia, in the The Republic of Awesome pyrotechnics (fireworks) are legal. As for lawmaking, 51% of present ministers at a meeting must agree then do a high five (as tradition dictates).
Law enforcement
The Republic of Awesome has two types of police; the Federal Police Force and the Fun Police. The Fun Police deal strictly with infringements of the motto (If it's fun, it's legal! Unless it impacts on someone else's right to do likewise, in which case it is not legal.). For example, while it is legal to use pyrotechnics, using them early in the morning to annoy someone would be an issue for the Fun Police.
The denominations of the currency of the Republic of Awesome are the Nano, the Dollar and the Tera, where 100 Nanos is the equivalent of 1 Dollar and 100 Dollars is equivalent to 1 Tera.
There is no set religion and the culture is said to be multicultural. The national dish is the Banana Split, the national drink is the Ice Cream Spider and the national animal is the Rosella bird.
Public Holidays
The Republic of Awesome has many Public Holidays' including:
- Independence Day (August 22)
- Explosion Appreciation Day (Janurary 3)
- Let's have a public holiday because we feel like one Day (dates vary)
- Helium Balloon day (2nd weekend in October)
- Paper Flower day (September 15)
- March 0 (There is no February 29th in RoA)
- Pie appreciation day (September 8th)
For a full list see our wiki.
Sacred Animal
Citizens respect and worship a very special animal called the Hemashema (hee-maa-shee-maa). They have a very special minister for the protection of the Hemashema.
Awards and Honours
The Republic of Awesome has several awards and honours, including the Bravery Medal which is awarded to those who show bravery on the battlefield, the Medal of Awesomeness which is awarded to citizens who are truly awesome members of society and the President's Excellency Award which is awarded to exceptional members of society.
Diplomatic Relations
The Republic of Awesome is currently in Diplomatic Relations with the following countries:
It hopes to have diplomatic relations with more countries in the coming future.
The Republic of Awesome's military currently consists of 4 people, and is planning to buy 2 RC helicopters for aerial surveillance missions. All army officers not currently fighting automatically become police officers. The military is mainly controlled by the Minister of Defence who gives orders to the General. There are set levels of caution ranging from no threat to apocalypse and there are codes for each which cannot be ordered unless absolutely necessary. The First General resigned due to issues with upper staff and he also thought that the job wasn't suited to him. The issue was quickly resolved and everyone is happy. The insignia of the military includes katanas because our minister for Defence said so.
The RABC (Republic of Awesome Broadcasting Company) is the major broadcasting company that owns a newspaper (the Awesome Times) and a short range radio station (mostly through multiple walkie-talkies).

DEPRECATION NOTICE: This gem is no longer maintained, and with Rails 3.0 bringing ActionModel::Validations, this gem has surely become useless. If you can't wait, check out the excellent Validatable gem from Jay Fields in the meanwhile.
First made popular on the (now extinct) RailsWeenie.com fourms, the tableless model has been very popular. Why a tableless model? Read on…
ActiveRecord::Tableless allows you to create a ActiveRecord model that is not associated with a table in your database. This is a great way to exploit ActiveRecord's validation features for simple tasks like validating the content of a contact form before sending an email.
Another great use for tableless models is mocking. I use ActiveRecord::Tableless extensively in the specs I write for some of my own ActiveRecord mixin's without worrying about the tables or test databases being setup.
It works great for non-Rails applications too, just in case
The original forum post detailing the code is no longer available, not even in Google's cache search. So unfortunately I cannot credit the original authors fully. The code does however appear on several other sites and is roughly the same than the code provided here.
$ git clone git://github.com/kennethkalmer/activerecord-tableless-models.git $ gem build activerecord-tableless-models.gemspec $ sudo gem install activerecord-tableless-1.0.0.gem |
Rails users do the following inside any Rails project
$ cd vendor/plugins $ gem unpack activerecord-tableless |
Restart the application and you're off.
Derailed applications can unpack the gem in a suitable location or use rubygems
require 'rubygems' require 'tableless' |
Define a model like this:
class ContactMessage < ActiveRecord::Base has_no_table column :name, :string column :email, :string validates_presence_of :name, :email end |
You can now use the model in a view like this:
<%= form_for :message, @message do |f| %> Your name: <%= f.text_field :name %> Your email: <%= f.text_field :email %> <% end %> |
And in the controller:
def message @message = ContactMessage.new if request.post? @message.attributes = params[:message] if @message.valid? # Process the message... end end end |
Source code
$ git clone git://github.com/kennethkalmer/activerecord-tableless-models.git |
REMINDER: This gem is deprecated.

Every night when I get home from work, my blinds are a mess. They are chewed up on the edges and bent from cats playing with/in them. Any way to keep the cats away from the blinds? Even if I leave them open, the cats attack them. And, I hate to do that, because my apartment is on the bottom floor and I don't want people peering in. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Your cats now think of your blinds as a play toy, so you need for them to forget about them and move on to something else. Do they have other toys to play with while you are gone? Could you get some window tinting to put on your windows so people can't look into your apartment, then put the blinds all the way up so the cats can't play with them. |
- Posted by plasticgarden (My Page) on Sat, Nov 24, 07 at 5:34
I totally understand your problem! Our last apartment we had to pay three hundred dollars when we moved out to replace the blinds our cat had jumped through bending the corners until they broke off. My husband always wanted to keep the blinds up to avoid this problem,but I'am like you and dont want people looking in my windows. You could try getting some long curtains that cover the whole window and make it harder for your cats to get in the window. Or,it is winter now and putting that plastic over your windows will help seal in the heat and keep the cats out! Only draw back is no opening the windows until spring! |
There are things to spray on stuff to make is unappetizing for chewing. Bitter apple, etc. Look in Petsmart. Also, you can try the sneaky spray method. Lay in wait with a well aimed spray bottle and squirt them when they do it. But don't yell "No!" or make them think you have anything to do with the squirt. They have to think it's the blinds' effect. |
Do they just want to sit in the windows and see the world? Could you leave the blinds up 10" or so so that they can do that? |
My cat took a liking to jumping up on the low TV table...not a good place for her with all of the wiring in back of the TV). I put rows of double stick tape on a piece of cardboard and anchored the 'sticky' cardboard to the table with masking tape. She tried jumping up once or twice, but hopped right back down. She hasn't shown interest since. I got the idea from reading about a product called Sticky Paws made expressly for that purpose. Its a double stick tape that is not supposed to leave a residue on the surface you are sticking it on (but I would test it on the blinds, first just to make sure). |
It sounds like they just want to get up on the windowsill so they can look outside. Cats won't usually jump onto a surface unless they have space to land, so fill the windowsill area with something (cardboard boxes, bags of sugar, books, whatever). Or put something over the window so they can't see out, like that "stained glass" or frosted adhesive-backed plastic. Then they'll have no reason to jump up there. You could also try taping sheets of flimsy cardboard to the windowsills, so that several inches of cardboard hangs over into the room. They will jump onto the cardboard, it will bend, and they will fall to the floor (unharmed). After a few tries they'll give up. |
My cats love looking out the windows. My oriental pulls the blind away from the window and crawls behind. I have the 2" wood blinds. He has done this for 6 years and has caused no damage. I'm with cynthia. just raise the blind a little. You could probably lower it at night. My cats only crawl behind the blinds during the day so that they can look out and sun themselves. |
- Posted by plasticgarden (My Page) on Mon, Nov 26, 07 at 6:41
Raising the blinds a little isnt going to help if they are chewing on them like vaccumfreak said they were. Most apartments DO charge too if they are damaged at all.300 dollars is alot of money for some stupid blinds. My apartment is bottom floor too,and they are more prone to break ins.It makes more sense to want to keep the blinds closed. |
- Posted by plasticgarden (My Page) on Mon, Nov 26, 07 at 6:55
You could also take your blinds down and put them away,and install some cheap twenty dollar blinds from somewhere like WALMART (the plastic kind) That way if they get messed up you wont have to pay for them.I plan on doing that in the spring but right now I have plastic over my windows and I dont have the money to buy several sets of cheap blinds (I have alot of windows) with Christmas coming up. |

Hello everyone, I bought a young peach tree last year and I need to prune it this spring. This is my first backyard fruit tree so I am cluless what I need to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Also, there is a branch coming off the lowest section of the main trunk but it does not have any bud (first pic), I want it to develop into a main scaffold but will it grow without any bud? should I just prune that as well? thanks!

It seems that your peach tree will bloom in a few weeks. I prune my peach trees in half April so I think that you should wait :) |
- Posted by bluesky204 none (My Page) on Sun, Mar 17, 13 at 16:41
thanks Plant, so which brand should I prune and which should I keep? |
Bluesky, It's tough to recommend pruning without knowing your goals (i.e do you want to train your tree tall for baffling against squirrels, vs. short and open-centered). I will say it may be a concern your peach tree is planted next to the deck wall, which could be blocking some of the sun. This may be why your tree is lacking in vigor. You might consider growing your tree above the deck so it can get more sun. If that sounds like something you want to try, you could keep one branch of the "Y" and remove the other. Or since you don't have much wood and have a lot of fruit buds on the wood you have, you may want to wait until after harvest to prune. When it's time to thin, make sure you thin enough. A tree that size low in vigor can probably only support about 5 fruit. If you do decide to prune, you can prune at any time this time of the year. But the bottom line is your tree hasn't put on enough growth to worry about pruning anything at this point. |
- Posted by bluesky204 none (My Page) on Tue, Mar 19, 13 at 10:33
Thanks Olpea, yea I planted my tree late last summer that's why it never had chance to develop. I will leave it alone so it can put on some growth this year. If I remove one branch of the "Y", wouldn't that destroy overall shape of the tree? I thought we need to train the tree to wine glass/ tulip shape? |
"If I remove one branch of the "Y", wouldn't that destroy overall shape of the tree? I thought we need to train the tree to wine glass/ tulip shape?" Bluesky, That's the shape I like best and grow all my peach trees to an "open vase". I was really just brainstorming on how you might prune your peach tree. I've never tried to grow a peach next to a wall and I assumed yours may not be getting enough sun (partly because of the wall and partly because of the lack of vigor in the tree). My idea was to grow your trunk really tall (above the deck fence) before the tree is allowed to branch out, so all the foliage would be above the deck wall in full sun. Now that I understand your tree was planted in late summer, that's probably normal amount of growth and your tree may well be getting enough sun behind the deck wall. In that case, you could train it to a typical low vase/open-center tree and keep both branches of the "Y". You might want to train more of the tree's structure away from the deck fence. It makes for a lop-sided tree, but I've done it for some of my trees planted close to property lines in my backyard. One last thing, if you are going to train the tree to a low open-center, I'd probably pull the two branches of the "Y" down a little bit. Just take a couple clothes hangers, straighten them out and push them in the ground as far as you can (these will be anchors). Then bend the two branches down some (but not so far that they break) and tie the the branches down with some string. |

The Japanese often use a Y, Y shape where two primary scaffolds pointed in opposite directions quickly split into two branches apiece. This makes it easier to fully exploit the area with fruit bearing wood coming off tertiary branches. Just two scaffolds is great for trees in rows fairly closely spaced but it will take more time to fill in and a bit more work if you are planning for trees to fill in a 15' diam. circle. This is often the case with peaches I manage. I often have larger trees runt out like this one did when transplanting- especially if they don't have ample water throughout the growing season or if there is serious root competition from better established trees. If you are patient and don't let the tree fruit at all you are more likely to be rewarded this year with vigorous growth. |

yea thanks Olpea, now I see why you asked me to remove one branch of Y. My tree faces an open backyard on the other side so sun is not a problem. it's interesting to see my tree has this Y,Y shape, I think I will remove all the flower buds so the tree can focus on vegetative growth this year |

What would happen if you let it bloom and then just afterward, knocked off the tiny fruits? Peach flowers are so pretty. |

The answer is a resounding NO (555 comments)
I've lived in Scottsdale for the past 2 years, having previously lived in Chicago and Silicon Valley. The vast majority of developers here are C# developers who would rate between a B- and a D if graded on their development skills. The vast majority of development jobs in Phoenix are also centered around C#; seeing as most web-based startups are using Java or LAMP as their underpinning technology, Phoenix's labor pool and developer job opportunities simply aren't aligned to maintain a robust startup environment. Additionally, development jobs pay anywhere from 30-50% less than other major coder cities. Lower cost of living be damned; if companies are looking to hire C# developers for $70k/year, they're not going to attract top talent. Chicago, San Jose, Austin
RIM should abandon QNX (91 comments)
RIM should abandon QNX, and run either Android, WebOS, or even Firefox OS instead. Maybe Firefox OS is exactly what RIM needs to both go-to-market faster (since QNX still isn't ready, and this arguably is more so) and ingratiate itself with a development community.

Yahoo! - Time to Grow Up (200 comments)
Yahoo still doesn't know what it wants to be when it grows up. Is it a news aggregator? A search engine? An email service? An online gaming site? A social network? A web hosting company? A bookmark sharing site? A photo sharing site?
Yahoo reminds me of that old SNL skit - it's a floor wax, and a desert topping. Only Microsoft comes to mind as a parallel when reviewing the absolute scattershot approach to online monetization that Yahoo has taken, but M$ has a host of other products / services (ok, just Office & Windows) that keep it's bottom line solid, allowing it to experiment w/ various approaches online until it finds a "hit". Yahoo doesn't have the luxury of online experimentation that M$ does; it needs to find a magic formula and stick with it, which it seemingly refuses to do.
BTW, I bet dollars to donuts that in ~5 years, Yahoo, AOL, and IAC (Ask.com) merge. They could call themselves "That 90's Web Company". LOL

Re:Don't think of it as just Help Desk (206 comments)
The original poster asked if working in the Help Desk could act as a springboard for a meaningful career in IT. It can; my post is just the tip of the iceberg in how one could parlay their help desk experience into a broader career in IT.
You can deride ITIL as a fad, or a buzzword, but the fact remains that billion-dollar companies are choosing to use ITIL, which is an open process framework, of their own accord. There is value in standardizing the way that IT companies manage their operations along an open process framework, in the same way that there is value in standardizing an operating system along an open technology (eg, Linux) or standardizing applications development along an open standard (eg, Ruby).
Regarding "service management", my personal definition is meaningless. There is an accepted industry definition for what an IT service is, which is again provided via open frameworks such as ITIL and Cobit.
And, no, I don't have a six-sigma black belt. I gotta keep some of my street cred, after all.

Thorndyke Thoughts
Hey kids, I told you LB was still at it. He just got home from his last trip for a while, a week in Chicago, Illinois. Now, LB's been to Chicago before (briefly) and I'm sure that many of you have been there too, being that it is so close. But I haven't, so most of what LB saw was new to me. First of all, LB got to take the train. It's the second time he's ridden one. I think LB just has to go on a cruise ship and he'll have experienced pretty much every type of transportation there is. And he got to meet Sue. Have you met Sue? She's big and has a very nice smile. She's a T-Rex skeleton at the Field Museum. And he spent a bit of time exploring Nacy Pier where he rode a ferris wheel and he went to the top of the Willis Tower. Apparently LB is not afraid of heights. He's been lots of places way up high! But I think he's ready to stay put for a while. I'm glad because it's been lonely around here without him.
Bear Hugs!Thorndyke

Product Description
Embark on an epic journey that spans centuries, continents, and the limits of your imagination as all of your favorite Tennis Shoes characters are thrown into a maelstrom of murderous intrigue and pulse-pounding suspense. Still searching for Joshua Plimpton — lost in an ancient American time warp — Stefanie and Harry Hawkins, along with their band of warriors and heroes, find themselves in the midst of a gathering storm unlike any other in Nephite history — the final struggle at Cumorah.
Meanwhile, as armies march and enemies plot against them, Meagan, Apollus, Ryan, and the Prophet Moroni must somehow reach General Mormon and Nephite headquarters to thwart the impending disaster. But can they defeat the darker threat that stirs among them?
Jim Hawkins and his sister Jenny may hold the answer as they fight for survival on the opposite side of the world, piecing together a mystery that could hold the key to everyone's safe return home — or it could spell certain doom in the abyss of time!

About the Author
CHRIS HEIMERDINGER is the writer/director of the movie Passage to Zarahemla and the songwriter/producer of the album Whispered Visions. However, he is the best known as the author of the popular Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites Adventure series as well as Passage to Zarahemla. Chris has imagined a tale that bridges modern times with the world of The Book of Mormon. He has published a novel sequel to Passage entitled Escape From Zarahemla which ties together the Zarahemla world with the Tennis Shoes world in a unique and fascinating way. He has also recently published Muckwhip's Guide to Capturing the Latter-day Soul — a modern satire featuring a fictional devil named Muckwhip striving to "bring down" one specific member of the LDS faith. Chris is the father of five children and five step children. His second oldest son, Ammon, is currently serving a mission in Columbia, South America. The joys of Chris's life are his children and his eternal companion, Emily.
Major disappointment
by Kim - reviewed on September 02, 2005
As a long time fan of Chris Heimerdinger, I couldn't wait for the continuation of his Tennis Shoes books series. Boy, talk about a real let-down. In this book he has eleven different points of view, draws out the battle scene--so much, that I got bored--and has some real cheesy dialogue. I got confused throughout the story as a couple of the characters sounded and acted exactly the same. The only people I think who'd enjoy this book are true blue fans. The strongest character, Joshua, only played a minor part in this book-hopefully in the next book, he'll have a bigger part.
Get them all.

what happens next?!

I enjoyed this book quiet a lot, though now I tend to skip past much of the text. I am, however, sad, cause it had a lame ending. I mean, I need to know what happens!!!!! When i first heard it, though, it was very, very suspenseful!
This is definitely a must-read!
by Customer - reviewed on October 16, 2008
My husband got me hooked on this series when I was in college; he has so many fond memories of reading Tennis Shoes as a kid and I can't believe I missed it through my teen years! These are books that I now read over and over again and am so excited to introduce to my kids when they get older. You will be completely taken in by the characters and the way the scripture figures come to life. You will cry with them, rejoice with them, and just overall love these books-I need Chris to write the next one!!!

Hi guys
Any help on this is massively appreciated as this has to be the most annoying thing in the world:
Sky HD was working perfectly yesterday and now says "no Satellite signal is being received" with the error message 29.
If I go into tv guide it says "searching for listings" and never actually finds any, nor does my planner work.
I am on a communal system in a flat with dual feeds.
I have tried turning the system on and off, reseting at the mains and trying an LNB reset with the sky customers services on the phone.... still nothing, and keep receiving the same message.
From memory I think the signal was at 0%.
Is this a Sky HD box issue ie do i need to pay £65 for sky to come out and fix it or is it an issue with the communal dish?
I can see other peoples tvs working in other flats so assume its not a communal issue.
Communal dish is run by a third party management company.
Thanks for all your help.
Solved! Go to the solution
on 01-03-2011 12:25 PM
What is your Signal Strength on both inputs? What make of digibox do you have?
Did you move the digibox before all of this happened? If so, the Dish Inputs may not be properly connected. Is anybody working where the distribution system is? Not unknown for little accidents to happen. You say that other people's tv's are OK, is their Sky OK for sure, or have you just seen tv sets with a picture? Have you actually asked around? Have you checked with the managing agent for complaints about this?
You say you have two feeds, so I assume both have been working OK till now ( ie, you've been able to record one channel and watch another at the same time.) Check in the Service Menu and make sure Single Feed Mode has not been selected. On the Sky remote, press Services, 0, 0, 1, then press Select. Then, in Setup, make sure that Single Feed Mode is OFF.

. I have exactly the same problem on my box did you get a resolve? i am not on a communal system. Whats more an engineer cannot come out for a week even though this is on warranty. can you advuse whether you received a solution or whether its still ongoing? Thanks
on 12-03-2011 04:58 PM
Hi winging8,
Because a service call has been booked I'd assume that you have been through the troubleshooting. It means that there wouldn't be much more that can be done other than having an engineer repair or replace the hardware or part of the setup. It might be worthwhile going through the troubleshooting steps again, found here.
on 15-03-2011 05:43 PM
My problem is that there is no satelite signal and I can't find a telephone number to call for one to one talk to solve the problem.
Where can I find a telephone number for technical queries?

Hi weegoody,
Have you gone through the troubleshooting in the link posted above?
Could you also confirm which type of box you have and how long you've had this for?
on 18-03-2011 06:36 PM
I have this problem but only with channel 4 HD. All other channels are fine and the signal is fine too. When I go on to channel 4 HD it says no signal. Extremely frustrating ! I have already tried all the reset things before you ask.
18-03-2011 07:13 PM - edited 18-03-2011 07:15 PM
Channel 4HD changed frequency and moved to Eurobird 1 this afternoon ( I think ). Reboot the box at the mains.

hi mate
My sky tv doesn't work and show the some error information as well.
i check the system test and found find there's nothing showing in signal strength and quality. i chaeck the system test, the system siad telephine line not connected. Several weeks ago, i change my line land no. so i think this is the reason why the sky tv does not work.
how can i solve the problem.
on 26-03-2011 01:24 PM
The phone line connection has no bearing on your problem. Yours is a dish, LNB, or cable problem. If some or all of that is oldish, I'd get someone out to closely inspect it all. Part, or all, or your setup may need replacing. If you tell us which Sky box you have - standard Sky, Sky+, or Sky+HD, we can point you to the relevant 'No Satellite Signal' help page.
on 10-04-2011 02:10 PM
Hi Guys and all others with No Satellite Signal - error 29, by experience is approximately 90% unresolvable. This and Error 36, have never been able to resolve this error.
on 25-04-2011 07:30 PM
Hi I phoned the help centre and they managed to fix this problem for me. I have two input signals cables and she told me to check the copper wire inside was straight and she also told me to swap them over. This worked straight away.

Whisenhunt Says No Drop Off For Fitzgerald. Here are Some Thoughts from the Experts.
Posted by Scott Pashley in SPIN Articles No Comments »
Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt has said that he doesn't expect star WR Larry Fitzgerald's numbers to take a hit with the switch from future HOF QB Kurt Warner to the unproven Matt Leinart. Among the reasons he sites for believing it will business as usual for Fitz are that Leinart has a stronger arm and throws a better deep ball and that he said that Fitzgerald did not suffer when Leinart has had starts or extended playing time in games (a statement we challenge in the Fantasy Spin below).
Draftbuddy.com has Fitzgerald ranked all the way down at 11 in their WR rankings. Here is an article in which they justify that ranking.
You can probably get WRs in the fourth or fifth round that are better buys says the guys at fantasyfootballmaniax.com and they give some of the positives and negatives for Fitz going into 2010.
FFToolbox.com is the most optimistic, but cautions that Fitzgerald may be due for a drop off. They point out that his ADP is still in the first round at this point.
As for the assertion that Fitzgerald has not suffered statistically when Leinart is under center; well that's not really the case. In 2007, Leinart started five games and Fitzgerald averaged a respectable 89.6 yards per game but only scored one TD in those five games. He averaged 102.9 yards per game in the eleven games that Warner quarterbacked in 2007 with nine TDs. In defense of Leinart, he was a rookie making his first starts and after only 20 yards for Fitzgerald in the first game of the season he posted totals of 85, 87, 120, and 136 yards in the following for games.
2008 was just about a complete wash for Leinart, who nearly never saw the field. 2009 was a different story. Leinart was bad in the little time he got. Between the two games that Leinart started or saw a lot of action Fitzgerald caught 7 passes for 51 yards and one TD.
The Cardinals seem destined to run the ball more and Leinart is not the QB Warner was, so it's hard to imagine no drop off for Fitzgerald. He won't catch 100 passes and may not get double digit TDs. He is still an elite receiver, mostly because he may be the most gifted WR in the league. But, the advice from fantasyfootballmaniax.com seems prudent. Someone is going to reach for him at the bottom of the first round or the early second. You can wait and get a better value in the fourth or fifth round and stock up on other positions.

Texas' omnibus anti-abortion access law, which in part requires abortion providers to operate as mini-hospitals, will return to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals this week.
The bill, a companion to the House's HR 1797, would ban abortions after 20 weeks in all 50 states.
An analysis of documents requested by two congressional committees from state departments of health and attorneys general show that states overwhelmingly share a muscular approach to regulating abortion, and there is virtually no evidence that patients are being harmed.
Much has been written about the politics behind 20-week abortion laws—especially the false claims that they are designed to protect women—but so far, there has been relatively scant coverage of the anti-choice litigation strategy in relation to these bans.
Flanked by anti-choice legislators, Republican Gov. Rick Perry held a public ceremony at the state capitol building Thursday to sign HB 2 while pro-choice protesters in the rotunda chanted and held signs.
The battle over Arizona's 20-week abortion ban re-affirms a fundamental right to choose abortion, but by embracing fetal viability as a legal cut-off point is the court just making matters worse?
Arizona's 20-week abortion ban falls, but that won't stop anti-choice legislators in D.C. from pushing ahead with their own version.
A look at the past shows that whatever avenue is taken, the fight for abortion rights in North Dakota will be long and expensive.
Unlike in recent years, when the thrust of legislative activity was on regulating abortion, this year legislators seem to be focusing on banning abortion outright.
The heartbeat ban may be stuck in committee. Why? It's not strict enough.

Sorry but this item is currently unavailable.
Please check back at a later stage.
THEY'RE BACK! This is another XDguys first and a first in the XD world. This Extended Slide Stop helps to release the slide with much less effort and provides more leverage on all XD and XD(M) models, especially on the XD .45ACP *Not the .45 XD(M) OR XD(S) .45/XD(S) 9mm YET.... Details below.
Made for everyone in mind: Guys, gals, righties, lefties, even our friend Rob who lost part of his thumb serving our Country. This extended slide release lever has been crafted with function in mind. The lever sits close to the frame, like the OEM model, which reduces the likelihood of snags when drawn from a holster or when concealed. Beware of imitations that can increase the likelihood of snagging on your clothes. This fits ALL XD Models: Sub-Compact, Service, Tactical, in 9mm, .40 SW, .357SIG, .45ACP including the 2008 XD .45ACP with the thumb safety and the newer XD(M) Series in 9mm, .40SW (NOW FITS the XD(M) 3.8 MODEL's).
*Does not fit the XD(M) .45acp, .45acp, or XD(M) 5.25 .45acp (will fit ALL XD(M) 9mm and 40SW). The specs are different on ALL of the XD(M).45acp's! ALSO DOES NOT FIT THE new (S) Series! In the all new XD(S) .45acp or the XD(S) 9mm all of the slide stop specs are different. Expecting ESS for the XD(M) .45acp's later this YEAR! .
This part replaces # 18 in your XD and XD(M) owner manual's.
Our Extended Slide Stop is proudly MADE in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho, U.S.A.
** One of our fine customers and an XDTalk member, Agalindo, has put together an easy installation guide for this Extended Slide Stop lever. (Click here to view)

I have the XDguy's Extended slide stop. It took my thumb a little time to get used to it, but after I got used to it it doesn't really bother me much.
The best use I can find for it is during our hot and humid summers when hands can be really sweaty. Installation was a snap and easy even for a novice.
Posted by Chuck on 25th Jun 2012
This was one of the most useful upgrades I ever made to any pistol. Part is well designed; simple to install; and delivers on every promise. It most definitely makes it easier to work the slide stop from shooting position, it is still low profile enough not to be snag prone; and hasn't failed to hold the slide open... not once. Absolutely perfect design, and really makes the gun just that much better!
Posted by GS on 25th Apr 2012
I think it's the best upgrade you could do to your XD. Thanks XDGuys
Posted by Nick on 23rd Apr 2012
This was a wise investment. Easy to install, fit was perfect, no modifications needed. Functions on my XD-45 perfectly. Don't think, just buy it!

Easy to install, took about a minute. Much easier to use than the factory slide stop.

Picked up an XD and would love to have this product. However, seeing some of these comments going back to April 2011 makes me concerned that they might not make anymore...will you XD Guys?
Posted by Unknown on 4th Aug 2011
I was lucky enough to get one when they were in stock. Its on my XD-45. This slide stop is fantastic! That why I want 2 more of them for my other two XDs. If they ever make more and you are lucky enough to get one, you'll love it!

After reading a thread about the morality of repeatedly throwing your Comrades into the line of fire, I thought I would share two House Rules I intend to incorporate into my Only War game.
First, Morality.
Actually, first up, I wrote this stuff before reading the thread. It's not a response to that thread. Okay? Okay. Onward…
Morality is defined as the principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong behaviors, an understanding of the concepts of justice and injustice, "good versus evil", and a PC's Morality score is an abstract measure of his/her observation of these principles and concepts. Morality may also be used to measure a PC's reputation (be it good or ill) as perceived by his Commanding Officers, and indeed, the Regiment as a whole.
All PCs begin play with a Morailty score of 5.
During the course of play, Players will make decisions that will reflect the intentional behaviors of their PCs, and these behaviors may have an effect on their Morality scores. The higher the Morilty score, the PC's personal values evidence themselves more positively, and vice versa.
When a PC does something that is immoral, mean-spirited/spiteful, blatantly contrary to orders, endangers his/her squad mates for purely selfish or cowardly reasons, or is beneficent, accommodating, loyal, self-deprecating or insanely courageous, the GM may ask the Player to make a Morality Check, as follows:
1- The GM determines whether the PC's behavior/intent warrants a Morality Check; if so, the Player rolls a d10.
2- If the PC is behaving negatively, and the d10 result is less than his/her current Morality score, the PC's Morality score is reduced by 1. If the PC is behaving positively, and the d10 result is greater than his/her current Morality score, the PC's Morality score increases by 1.
Morality does not define the PC. The Player does.
A Morality score or 2-3 reflects the darker side of life in the Imperial Guard. These men and women are mean, bullying, slovenly, lazy, drunkards and addicts, thieves, murderers, liars, cheats, and all other manner of ill-tempered, ill-mannered undesirables. However, if only one benefit stems from having this rabble in your Regiment, it's that they know where to get their hands on contraband and non-standard kit…and where to hide the bodies (I'm looking at you, Lt. Sobel).
A Morality score of 4-7 represents soldiers who are busy staying out of their Commanding Officers' proverbial sights and maintaining the status quo, possibly fawning for a few paltry favors. They attend (irregular but attentive) worship, give their Infantryman's Uplifting Primer more than the occasional cursory glance, are generally liked, and might tell the occasional fib, but keep their kit and noses (mostly) clean.
A Morality score of 8-9 represents the pride of Imperial Guard ideals; these men and women are awe-inspiring and larger-than-life to the common dog soldier (or ass-kissing feks to the rabble), are zealous adherents of the Imperial Cult, courageous, and above all, unquestionably loyal to the Imperium of Man and devoted to the vision and will of the God-Emperor.
Obviously, there are varying degrees of behavior within each category. A PC might teeter on the brink of receiving his first (and last) fitting for an explosive collar (known in Guard slang as "keeping an appointment with the tailor"), but who's to say he/she can't lead him/herself back from the precipice of the abyss?
In the interest of readability, I will leave out my example use of Morality.
Suffice it to say, if a PC's Morality score reaches 10, he/she may find him/herself destined for something far greater than that assigned to the common Trooper. This isn't necessarily a good thing, however. There are plenty of legendary last stands that feature these rising stars as their heroic focus. If nothing else, their heroic sacrifice will be good for the Imperial propaganda apparatus.
And, if a PC's Morality score drops to 1 (or GAH!, zero), his/her reputation is shameful and unbecoming of a soldier in the God-Emperor's Imperial Guard. The Penal Legions are always in need of replacements…
Next up, an abstraction of mass casualties.
Untold millions die every minute across the worlds of the God-Emperor's Imperium.
After a significant engagement in which the PCs' squad is supported by others from their platoon/company/Regiment, the GM will call for the Players to offer an assessment of the engagement based on a scale of 1-10, where 1 indicates a complete cock up and 10 indicates a complete route of opposition forces with (relatively) little difficulty. The GM will then take an objective view at this assessment, and through the course of discussion with the Players will come to an agreement on its numerical rating.
This discussion will serve to form one role-playing aspect of the squad's Debriefing, and is referred to as the Engagement Assessment Rating (EAR).
Note: Commanding Officers begin many Debriefings by (incorrectly) voicing the ancient Terran quote, "Men, give me your EARs."
Once an agreement has been reached regarding the EAR, the GM will roll a number of d10; as this could amount to literal fistfulls of dice inundating the gaming table, perhaps the GM rolls for two or three other squads (at most) from the squad's own platoon, a d10 per man, thirty dice, tops.
Each die that results in a number equal to or greater than the EAR results in a casualty.
The PCs now play a more significant and active role in the success or failure of the Regiment as a whole, reinforcing the importance of Regimental glory over that of personal glory.
To wrap up: immoral bastards/*******; you don't have to like 'em, but they do have their place in within the Regiment…even if that place is a cesspit of depravity and shame, and gleaming golden boys/girls aren't necessarily any better off in the long run, either.
Throwing your Comrades in the line of fire, indeed! You should be ashamed of yourself!

'The Nut Job': Animated comedy is a crackup
A 2.5-star movie review of "The Nut Job," a surprisingly simple, funny and often cute animated slapstick comedy about a squirrel (voiced by Will Arnett) planning a nut heist.
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Movie Review
'The Nut Job,' with the voices of Will Arnett, Katherine Heigl, Maya Rudolph, Liam Neeson, Brendan Fraser. Directed by Peter Lepeniotis, from a screenplay by Lorne Cameron, Daniel Woo and Lepeniotis. 85 minutes. Rated PG for mild action and rude humor. Several theaters.
If you're going to make cartoons about critters, the late Chuck "Looney Toons" Jones used to preach, build them around the animal's chief concern — survival. That principle pays off in "The Nut Job," a surprisingly simple, funny and often cute slapstick comedy about a squirrel planning a nut heist so that he'll have enough food to last through winter.
Surly (Will Arnett, the perfect voice for cartoons) has always lived just for himself, which irks the other animals of Liberty Park. They all stock up for the winter, collectively, in a system overseen by Raccoon (Liam Neeson). But Surly and his silent rat pal Buddy are every-animal-for-himself guys.
Contrast Surly with his fellow squirrel Grayson (Brendan Fraser), because the red squirrel Andie (Katherine Heigl) and every other animal in the park does. The dashing, dopey Grayson is all about heroics and looking good.
An epic failure to steal a street vendor's nut cart gets Surly labeled "a clear and present danger" to the others, so he is banished from the park. He destroyed the other animals' winter survival stash. Is Surly anxious to make good on what he's cost everyone? Not on your life.
When he runs across the shop that the nut cart came from, he figures this huge stash is his. But Surly's caper runs right up against what the human owners of the nut shop have in mind. They're wiseguys out to rob the bank across the street.
The sight gags have a marvelous thunderclap suddenness to them. Animated movies live and die on their pace, and this one clips along.
The one-liners aren't the best, but there are just enough of them to get by.
Visual riffs on cops and doughnuts, the poor choice of a pug as a guard dog (Maya Rudolph) and plenty of "throw nuts and squirrels at the 3D screen" jokes make "The Nut Job" kid-friendly.
And if that fails to do the trick, throw in a few cut-the-cheese jokes.
Veteran animator Peter Lepeniotis, a Pixar vet expanding a short film he made years ago, ensures that the animation is quite good. And there's an adorable closing-credits dance-off that underlines the film's Korean production lineage.
So no, it's not Pixar or DreamWorks or Disney . But "The Nut Job" is still better than any animated film released in the doldrums of January has a right to be.

Tourney of Stahleck VII
Join a celebration of Living Card Games at Castle Stahleck, November 18-20 |
Living Card Games | Published 01 September 2011 |
Fantasy Flight Games is delighted to announce this year's upcoming Tourney of Stahleck VII! A fabulous experience for fans of Living Card Games, Tourney of Stahleck VII towers among the largest and longest-running events of its kind, drawing over 140 players for a weekend full of events for both A Game of Thrones: The Card Game and Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game.
European Championships
Tourney of Stahleck VII is host to both the A Game of Thrones: The Card Game Joust and Melee 2011 European Championships as well as the Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game European Championship.
Fans of Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game should note this year's European Championships are being held in Liege, Belgium, from the 28th to 30th of October.
Tourney of Stahleck VII organizer, Wolfgang Penetsdorfer, provides more information.
Wolfgang Penetsdorfer on Tourney of Stahleck VII
For the seventh consecutive year, Castle Stahleck of Bacharach, Germany, will open its gates to all the brave competitors seeking fame in the Lands of Westeros or who want to take part in the Old World's eternal struggle between Order and Destruction. The Knight's Hall at Castle Stahleck will host players from all over Europe coming together to play A Game of Thrones: The Card Game and Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game, whether competitively in the European Championship tournaments or in fun side events and casual games.
Come to Castle Stahleck and experience some of the best and longest-running Living Card Game action in Europe!
Date: 18. – 20. Nov 2011
Location: Castle Stahleck, 55422 Bacharach, Germany
Fee: 76 – 86 euro
(including accommodation*, all meals, free coffee, most tourney fees)
*Tourney of Stahleck VII has experienced the happy problem of booking nearly every available room at Castle Stahleck. However, Tourney attendees can still take advantage of several hotels within walking distance of both the Bacharach train station and Castle Stahleck:
Special Artist Guests on site:
Tiziano Baracchi (A Game of Thrones, Call of Cthulhu, The Lord of the Rings)
Nacho Molina Parra (A Game of Thrones, Warhammer: Invasion)
Wolfgang Penetsdorfer, email: [email protected]
Tourney of Stahleck VII also features many boardgames. More information is available of the Tourney of Stahleck homepage.
Note: Some fans will miss Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game at this event. It has not been abandoned, but since there is another international Call of Cthulhu weekend at nearly the same time not too far away, we thought it would be better to join and have one big event. The Call of Cthulhu event is going to happen from the 28th to 30th of October in Liege, Belgium.
Hanau meta ftw! The f***ing trophy stays in Germany!!!
strong INVASION team from Poland will storm this Championships ;-)))
¡Viva España! y.... WALTER FREY WALTER FREY WALTER FREY... this year will roar again! :P
Good gaming guys! Now show us how it's done!

What a timely post! Extra milk and supplies checked off the list. Rescheduled a host of appointments and events that were supposed happen in the next few days, also checked off the list. Looking forward to being snowed in and having time to do a few more things on the list AND enjoy the family. Waiting in positive anticipation for the beautiful, white snow. Stay safe.

GameCrazy pre-orders will get a hardcover art book, which contains illustrations of the game's characters, enemies and locations. Amazon orders will receive a Prototype comic from Wild Storm. The comic actually sounds fairly interesting, as it looks at the game's events from the perspective of two police detectives on Alex's trail. As we've reported before, Alex makes a habit of killing or destroying everything around him, so we imagine the cops have their hands full.
Check out hi-res images of the action figure and comic in the gallery below.

I was one of thousands impacted by a power outage for many days by TS Irene. In that time, I used up all the pressured water from my well expansion tank. Now that we have had power for a week, things seems to be fine with me doing nothing except changing the GAC filter and bleeding it. Do I need to do anything to the expansion tank?

If your tank is a precharged bladder type, no need to do anything. That type can be identified by the air valve, much like an automobile tire. |
Thanks, Bus. It's a Welltrol with an air valve like you described. |

At Age 70 I will still have Student Loans to Pay-OUCH! - page 2
Hi everyone! I'm 55 and became an RN 2 years ago. At age 70, I will still owe Sallie Mae thousands of dollars as well as Stafford Loans. Does anyone know what Sallie mae's stand is for retiree's who... Read More
0Jul 23, '10 by GoNightingaleThanks Oramar and to everyone who has replied to my post. As you know, whomever thinks nurses are in thisw field for the money, they are well misinformed. As a two-year old nurse, I'm just making ends meet. I pay Sallie May $252.88 a month and Stafford Loan $156.00 a month. That's a big chunk of money in addition to rent, insurance yada,yada yada. I have tried the military, but due to my age they won't take me. Ifg I was to work for the Veteran's Administration Hospitals, they pay government loans with some qualification requirements. But I'm not as concerned about the Stafford loans as i am about Sallie Mae. I guess I'll just keep on truckin' and see what happens. Right now, I have no savings (all went to nursing school), no house, ummm. If I buy a house to retire in, I have to pay a higher mortgage to pay it off in 15 years. May not be around for a 30-year mortgage! Ha, ha,!
Hey, if I have good vision when I'm in my 60's, I'll do travel nursing and just buy an RV! -
3Jul 23, '10 by pshs_2000, RNAs someone else mentioned there is the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. Basically, if you work full time in public service (like nursing) for 10 years, and while you are working you make 120 on-time payments, what ever balance is left will be forgiven. This is for people with Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program loans, which include - Subsidized Stafford Loans, Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, Federal PLUS Loans - for parents and graduate or professional students, Federal Consolidation Loans (excluding joint spousal consolidation loans), Federal Perkins Loans, and Certain Health Professions and Nursing Loans. The process for requesting this forgivness is still a little murky because it just became law back in 2007 so the first group to request forgiveness won't be until 2017. It's recommended that you keep track of your full time employment and perhaps have letters verifying it. You can read more about the program here http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/at...givenessv4.pdf and IBRinfo :: What are these new programs?. As far as Sallie Mae, I'm assuming those are private loans. If so, then you can probably request lower payments due to financial hardship or request forbearance. If you know you're going to working FT as an RN for the next 8 years, I would recommend that you pay only the minimum for your Staffords (because they would be forgiven) and put the extra towards your Sallie Mae loans. Hope this helps!
0Jul 23, '10 by tyvinI am sorry to hear about your trouble.
Military is out due to age.
I give a grave warning to all; don't borrow.
The Pell and other federal monies can get you through.
Eons ago when I went to school (a very spendy university) loans were handed out like candy. Credit cards magically appeared in the mail urging a nice wardrobe to insure advancement.
Yes, it's my own fault but I wish they would've made a better effort at loan counseling other then sign here. I know these days they do.
And make no mistake; you could be crawling out of your grave and unless you flat lined they will come after you for the loan money. They will garnish your checks be it payroll. disability, SSI etc...also they confiscate your tax returns and any other monies you receive.
Sure send me to a reservation to work them off but in reality have you ever known anyone who's done it? Send me the info cause I'll do it. I will be paying on my loans until I am 97. Unfortunately I will live that long. You see I've had a few irritated loan people tack on $15,000. late fees taking my total up to > $100,000. owing to Uncle Sam. To think I only borrowed $22,000. And they wonder why I'm not compliant.
I print this story as a stern warning to all; yea sure there are many of you out there saying she deserves everything she gets but I have always been a responsible person on all else except this matter. This has turned my life into a nightmare to the point I can't get anything without good credit. Even though they're garnishing my check my credit score continues to be bad. They say when the loan comes down to a certain point they'll fix my score (thanks but you've done enough already). -
0Jul 25, '10 by GoNightingaleThanks so much for this "ray of hope". I was not aware of this new law. It will be interesting to see how it plays out in 2017. Certainly worth pursuing!
Thanks again! -
0Jul 25, '10 by GoNightingaleTyvin, I hear you loud and clear! All we can do is the best that we can do!
Keep on truckin!
