'Rubber Band' – Single Version (1966)
Rubber Band There's a rubber band that plays tunes out of tune In the library garden Sunday afternoon While a little chappie waves a golden wand Rubber Band In 1910 I was so handsome and so strong My moustache was stiffly waxed and one foot long And I loved a girl while you played teatime tunes Dear Rubber Band, you're playing my tune out of tune, oh Rubber Band Won't you play a haunting theme again to me While I eat my scones and drink my cup of tea The sun is warm but it's a lonely afternoon Oh, play that theme Rubber Band How I wish that I could join your Rubber Band We could play in lively parks throughout the land And one Sunday afternoon, I'd find my love Rubber Band, In the '14-'18 war I went to sea Thought my Sunday love was waiting home for me And now she's married to the leader of the band, oh (spoken) Oh sob... I hope you break your baton
We are now officially entering into Bowie's Newley-influenced period which lasted until 1968 – long after the release of his debut album David Bowie. The release of his fourth single 'Rubber Band' on 2nd December 1966 significantly marks his departure from the Mod scene and forebodes his fascination with vaudevillian theatre themes.
David Bowie's transition from a Mod to a Newley-esque singer in late 1966 can be explained by the lack of a breakthrough. His preceding Pye singles had all flopped commercially which lead to a termination of his contract with Pye Records shortly after the release of 'I Dig Everything'. In mid-1966 Bowie was a singer who had been in a handful of bands, with a couple of singles out, but without a real breakthrough – and above all, without a contract. On the positive side, Kenneth Pitt* who had carefully overseen his career that year now got more engaged in pushing Bowie's career in the right direction. And indeed, Pitt enabled Bowie to have a good shot with the Deram label for which Bowie would soon record his debut album.
By October that year, Bowie was still touring with The Buzz performing most of his songs. He and fellow Buzz bassist Dek Fearnley had envisioned to re-record some of his older songs such as 'The London Boys' (a Mod song from way earlier in 1965), and so Pitt enabled them to record a couple of songs on 18th October to approach new record labels. The idea behind this recording was to have enough songs to release an EP with that new label. On that day Bowie and The Buzz (plus trumpeter Chick Norton) recorded two new songs at R.G. Jones' Oak Studio: 'Rubber Band' and 'The Gravedigger' (which would later become 'Please Mr. Gravedigger', the closing track on 1967's David Bowie LP). Furthermore, they re-recorded 'The London Boys'. As was the case with the recording of 'I Dig Everything', it also became quite apparent that Bowie and The Buzz were quite inexperienced in terms of a professional arrangement for the recording.** Fortunately, it worked out this time. Fearnley recalled in 1991: "We'd worked out what kind of sound we wanted and had painstakingly written out the notation, but all the timings were wrong. Luckily the musicians interpreted what we had written, and we got through it."
The recording was a full success, especially because it was well-received when Pitt visited the Decca label on 20th October. Indeed, both head of promotion Tony Hall and album artist manager Hugh Mendl were quite fond of 'Rubber Band' when Pitt played the acetate to them. Only four days later, Pitt managed to secure the first album deal for David Bowie when he further met Decca's in-house producer Mike Vernon. On 27th October it was then decided that both 'Rubber Band' and 'The London Boys' were strong enough tapes to be released as the first single with the new label.*** Bowie received GBP 100 and GBP 150 for the master tapes of these two songs.
As the official press release above reads, 'Rubber Band' was a "love story without a happy ending, it is pathos set to tubas". Indeed the song reveals quite an extraordinary amount of lyrical and melodic drama. The song features a First World War veteran who misses his pre-wartime girlfriend (who unfortunately is now married to the leader of a brass band). The theatricality, the imagery and the humour is present everywhere in this song: the pun on the term rubber band, the waxed moustache, the Britishness in eating scones and drinking tea, that girlish scream at the end of the song. 'Rubber Band' together with further album tracks from 1967's David Bowie such as 'Little Bombardier' and 'She's Got Medals' evoke the brass-buttoned militarism of the Edwardian era, a style that was quite en vogue in 1966/67. Bowie's military jacket on the cover of his debut album surely add to this effect.
It is furthermore notable to mention that the musical arrangement for 'Rubber Band' (and for most of the songs recorded for his debut album) was quite intricate for a musician who mostly wrote rock and blues songs before. 'Rubber Band' is very playful with the tempo and instruments: at the end of song the tuba comes to dramatical halt and it appears as if an overly exhausted band is required to stop playing. Just judged by its playfulness the song must be concidered a musical breakthrough for Bowie in 1966. In fact however, 'Rubber Band' did not bode very well with the buying audience and did indeed piss off some of his acquaintances in the London Mod scene.
Bowie the Mod was gone, enter Bowie the Newley-impersonator.
Once the single was released on 2nd December 1966**** under Decca's Deram label, Hugh Mendl became quite worried about the decision to grant Bowie an album deal. Mendl remembered in 2002: "It all went wrong for David at the first Decca A&R meeting. I was personally very excited about David's first single, but when it was played at Geniusville*****, someone said, 'Sounds like Tony Newley to me'. From the start, that sealed David's fate at Decca." So, 'Rubber Band' didn't perform well at all commercially, and additionally radio stations were not too keen on playing the song "because it's not commercial and too 'in' ", as Horton wrote to Pitt in a letter dated 8th December.
Despite the disappointing commercial performance of 'Rubber Band', the magazine Disc gave the single an encouraging review: "I do not think 'Rubber Band' is a hit. What it is is an example of how David Bowie has progressed himself into being a name to reckon with, certainly as far as songwriting is concerned. He is not the David Bowie we once knew. Even a different voice – distinctly reminiscent of a young Tony Newley – has emerged. Listen to this record then turn it over and listen to 'The London Boys', which actually I think would have been a much more impressive topside. But both are worth rethinking about."
Although the single flopped considerably Bowie decided to re-recorded 'Rubber Band' on 25th February 1967 at Decca's Studio 2 for the inclusion on his debut album. The album version of 'Rubber Band' is a tad slower and perhaps a bit inferior to the single version. Furthermore, the album version differs to the single version in that there are two differences in the lyrics. For no apparent reason, Bowie replaced the year '1912' by '1910' and also added a spoken line at the end of the song: "I hope you break your baton".

Two years later by 3rd February 1969 Bowie, who hadn't really advanced much in his musical career after his first album, was filming for a promotional film containing a couple of songs from the album as well as a handful of new songs (such as 'Space Oddity'). The promotional film, entitled Love You Till Tuesday, also included his recorded performance for 'Rubber Band'. As you can see in the video below, Bowie played a mustachioed geezer in blazer and boat hat watching an imaginary brass band and whimsically singing the album version of this song. Truly a gem.
'Rubber Band' – Love You Till Tuesday Video (1969)
On a personal note, I must say I have always liked this song very much. It's certainly not his best, but I like the strangeness of it, and the imagery. What a bold move that change from Mod to Newley was.
* Pitt had a huge knowledge about musical theatre, so maybe that is where a lot of the influence on Bowie's interest in theatricality came from.
** That was actually the reason why The Buzz was completely replaced by some other session musicians during the recording of 'I Dig Everything'.
*** Ken Pitt also worked on releasing the single in the US. On 10th November 1966 he met Walt Maguire in New York who worked for Decca's US label London Records. Maguire also liked 'Rubber Band' and agreed to release the single but, interestingly, dropped 'The London Boys' as B-Side because of the reference to pill-popping and drug taking. Instead he chose Bowie's new recorded song 'There Is A Happy Land' as B-Side. It needs to be added though that 'Rubber Band' was never commercially released in the US, but rather sent to radio stations as promotional only release in June 1967. One month after the single's release in the US Maguire wrote to Pitt expressing his disappointment: "I'm not happy with the results."
**** Literally on that same day Bowie and his band The Buzz, with which he had still recorded quite a handful of songs for his debut album, parted ways. However, some band members stayed with David and recorded a couple more songs (namely Dek Fearnley).
***** Geniusville: a term coined by Mendl for the weekly Decca meetings of the company executives to listen to the latest recordings.

'I'm Not Losing Sleep' – Single Version (1966)
Yes, I've read the morning papers Telling me that you've made money Do you think I'm gonna crawl, then think again Though I'm dressed in rags, I'm richer Though I eat from tins, I'm healthier Though I live in slums, I'm purer than you, my friend Too bad, I'm not losing sleep [Too bad] I'm just counting sheep [Too bad] I'm not losing sleep, my friend Look around and see the friends The ones you left, our friends deserted See the guys that used to talk and drink with you Don't look down your nose at me 'Cause I won't ask your sympathy I won't be your yes-sir man for anything Too bad, I'm not losing sleep [Too bad] I'm just counting sheep [Too bad] I'm not losing sleep, my friend I would walk with you Talk with you, drink with you If you drop that halo that you're wearing on the ground Too bad, I'm not losing sleep [Too bad] I'm just counting sheep [Too bad] I'm not losing sleep, my friend I can get my satisfaction Knowing you won't get reaction What makes me the big attraction anyway It's too bad, I'm not losing sleep [Too bad] I'm just counting sheep [Too bad] I'm not losing sleep, my friend Too bad, I'm not losing sleep [Too bad] I'm just counting sheep [Too bad] I'm not losing sleep, my friend Oh, it's too bad, I'm not losing sleep [Too bad] I'm just counting sheep [Too bad] I'm not losing sleep, my friend
The B-Side to 1966's 'I Dig Everything' welcomes Anthony Newley's influence to Bowie's vocal style – a style which would feature in a major way on his first album David Bowie. Bowie and Tony Hatch recorded this song on 5th July 1966 with an ensemble of unknown musicians (they weren't documented for the recording) – excluding Bowie's actual, but slightly inexperienced band in terms of musical arrangements, The Buzz.
Though 'I'm Not Losing Sleep' cannot be classified as a pure vaudeville-type Newley song, Bowie did try out the showman's vocal swagger in some parts of this song. But there's a bit more to this unfairly judged B-Side.
First of all, the song features someone who is totally content in his current socioeconomic status. He basically sings about a friend leaving his poorer background because he started making money and now hangs out with the richer class. But Bowie seems to be quite fond of the fact that he is where he is instead of his friend who makes money. He even gives a little nod to The Rolling Stones, turning their one-year old hit a bit around: "I can get my satisfaction / knowing you won't get reaction". So there's a man who appears to be all satisfied that he is poor.
Furthermore, 'I'm Not Losing Sleep' is slightly remiscent of Petula Clark's hit 'Downtown': the 'too bad'* backing chorus sounds very similar. However, Bowie structured the song much in the Motown tradition using a recurrent shift between the tonic and the minor 2nd chords which portrays ambition. Considering that Bowie partly used the Newley voice (pay attention to the songs 'middle eight' section when he sings "on the ground") it can be said that 'I'm Not Losing Sleep' can be described as a song where once again Bowie tried out a lot of musical influences.
Contrary to many other Bowie biographers and writers I find 'I'm Not Losing Sleep' to be a good song that is up to the standard of the scene back in the day.
* Funnily, Bowie's early publisher Sparta released 'I'm Not Losing Sleep' under the title 'Too Bad'.

'I Dig Everything' – Single Version (1966)
I've got the village I love I walk along beside the garbagemen and I dig everything I wave to the policemen, but they don't wave back They don't dig anything Ain't had a job for a year or more and I don't know a thing Everything's spent and I dig everything Everything's spent and I dig everything Dig I feed the lions in Trafalgar Square and I dig everything I've sit just behind my window, till my cigarettes were low and dug everything Got a backstreet room in the bad part of town and I dig everything I'd see people in the street below, who don't know where they're going They don't dig anything Everything's spent and I dig everything Everything's spent and I dig everything Dig I've got more friends than I've had had dinners Some of them were losers, but the rest of them are winners Rick, John, Sally, a connection named Paul Holy low on money, their intentions are tall We smoke and talk in my room and we dig everything Dig I've made myself at home I've made good friends which the time-check girl on the end of the phone All the movie shows I sunbathe for love Even when it's not too hot 'Cause I dig everything Oh yeah
'I Dig Everything', recorded on 5th July 1966 and released on 19th August 1966, was Bowie's third and last single under the Pye label, backed by 'I'm Not Losing Sleep' as the B-Side.
Tony Hatch, producer of the previous two singles, had booked quite a number of gigs for Bowie and his band The Buzz throughout the spring of 1966. However, after 'Do Anything You Say' had flopped it was time for the band to get their act together and release another single to increase their popularity. According to Cann's Any Day Now, Bowie and The Buzz already tried to record 'I Dig Everything' on 6th June at Pye Studios, Marble Arch, including a brass section with Moods trumpeter Andy Kirk. Also part of the arrangement on that day were Dusty Springfield's backing singers Madeline Bell, Kiki Dee and Lesley Duncan. But the problem with this recording session was that the arrangement with the new brass section and backing singers had not rehearsed that song before – and Tony Hatch was not convinced that this recording would make for a good single.*
5th July, the day of the proper recording of 'I Dig Everything' and 'I'm Not Losing Sleep', was preceded by a radical change in the band structure of The Buzz: on 15th June the band's guitarist John Hutchinson had to quit his membership in the band due to the lack a regular financial income. Hutchinson would work with Bowie again, and then more substantially, in late 1967 – but we'll come to that later. Hutchinson's departure worsenend not only the atmosphere in the band**, but might have also led to Tony Hatch's decision to exclude the entire band from recording the new single with Bowie. For the recording, Hatch had booked a couple of session musicians instead of The Buzz. Unfortunately, these musicians are unknown today, they were not documented. Hatch recalled in 1990:
I couldn't tell you for certain who played on the re-recording but in those days, for 'rock' sessions, I always hired great musicians like Jimmy Page, John McLaughlin, Jim Sullivan, Herbie Flowers, Clem Cattini, Tony from Sounds Incorporated, Roger Coulam and Alan Hawkshaw, the 'hooligans' of their time. Come to think of it – most of these people also featured on the Petula Clark sessions too.
So, the recording session was successful and 'I Dig Everything' was scheduled to be released a month later. In the meantime however, Kenneth Pitt (who had overseen David's development for quite a while now) sent an advance copy to Vicky Wickhamd, the driving force behind Ready Steady Go!, on 18th July, but received the copy back shortly thereafter with a short comment reading: "Very many thanks for the David Bowie disc. I am sorry, but yet again I really do not think it is a hit. One day I am going to surprise you!"
The single itself was yet another flop in a series of flops David Bowie had witnessed already in his musical career until then. 'Can't Help Thinking About Me', released earlier in 1966, had perhaps come closest to a chart success (though it can be argued that the charting method was quite biased). Upon its release, the single was met relatively positive: "Another disc that's perfect for dancing" (NME); David "wrote it himself and sings it, with his voice moving very well against the backing" (Disc & Music Echo).
Though The Buzz were not part of the actual recording of the single, they nonetheless continued to perform live with David Bowie in the coming months and played the new single among other songs***. According to the Kent Messenger, Bowie and his band used a "completely new act" on 26th August by using pre-recorded tapes in their live sets. For this new act they have supposedly rehearsed 8 hours per day. According to Cann, the performance was a disaster due to synchronisation problems between the tape and the songs sung live. The chart failure that 'I Dig Everything' was finally led to Pye's decision to part ways with David Bowie, and hence his contract ended in September that year.
Ironically, from today's point of view 'I Dig Everything' together with 'Can't Help Thinking About Me' can easily be called one of the best tracks Bowie had released until then. The song features a very playful side of the young mod Bowie that he presumably still was. While the song starts of with a dominant Hammond organ it later on develops into a memorisable tune using a Latin-flavoured percussion that gives the song a nice rounding.
Lyrically, the song can be aligned with 'Can't Help Thinking About Me', 'The London Boys' and 'Join The Gang' as a story of a young teenager in London leaving his family and old life behind. These songs resemble Bowie's mod associations. In contrast to 'Can't Help Thinking About Me' the new single features a teenager not leaving but rather having arrived (notably in London as the lyrics suggest), a teenager who is delighted by everything and everyone that he sees: garbagemen, policemen, a bad room, not having had a job for years, his new friend circle. And so on. The song also hints at drug circulating among him and his friends (the "connection").
This is a song that captures the spirit of Swinging London in 60s: groups of young teenagers hanging out together that do not follow the ordinary and responsible lifestyle as perhaps their parents did. The character in the song is described as a loser without a job and any money, but a sympathetic one. He finds pleasure in everything he sees, interestingly in the most normal things.
Later performances
'I Dig Everything' was not performed anymore in the subsequent decades. Until the late 90s and early 00s when he began to revisit his old song material for some sporadic live performances and the Toy sessions (the album that never was) in 2000. 'I Dig Everything' was among those songs that Bowie picked. The song as performed in his summer 2000 concerts can be heard through the link below:
'I Dig Everything' – Audience recording (2000)
The Toy album version (as leaked onto the internet in 2011) can be heard here:
'I Dig Everything' – Toy Sessions, unreleased (2000)
* Dek Fearnley, bassist for The Buzz, recalled: "The arrangement wasn't up to it. The horn section were OK at playing soul music, but not what we wanted."
** In fact, in the weeks after Hutchinson left the band they were forced to give a couple of gigs without a lead guitarist as they simply couldn't find a suitable replacement on time. John Hutchinson would finally be replaced by former Anteeks guitarist Billy Gray (a more exuberant nature on stage).
*** Interestingly, among those other songs were 'You'll Never Walk Alone', nowadays a well-known football anthem. Keep in mind that in the summer of 1966 England had won the World Cup beating West Germany at Wembley.

'Good Morning Girl' – Single Version (1966)
Hey, hey, good morning girl Hey, hey, good morning girl Hey, hey, good morning girl But I can't pass this time of day 'Cause I'm on my way to rest my head And I've lost the mind that I used to have And I don't have a dime to spare Hey, hey, good morning girl Hey, hey, good morning girl Hey, hey, good morning girl But I can't pass this time of day So go tell the man that collects the dues That you saw a guy without any shoes Who would do the job if he was built that way Hey, hey, good morning girl Hey, hey, good morning girl Hey, hey, good morning girl But I can't pass this time of day, no I can't pass this time of day 'Cause I'm on my way to rest my head And I've lost the mind that I used to have I don't have a dime to spare Hey, hey, good morning girl Hey, hey, good morning girl Hey, hey, good morning girl But I can't pass this time of day So go tell the man that collects the dues That you saw a guy without any shoes Who would do the job if he was built that way Hey, hey, good morning girl Hey, hey, good morning girl Hey, hey, good morning girl But I can't pass this time of day, no I can't pass this time of day
Together with his new band The Buzz David Bowie recorded 'Good Morning Girl' on 7 March 1966 as the B-side to his new single 'Do Anything You Say'. Bowie's second Pye Records single was released on 1 April that year.
The song's title is a reference to The Yardbirds' version of Sonny Boy Williamson's 'Good Morning Little Schoolgirl' which was also covered later by no other than Rod Stewart. Except for the title these two songs bear no real resemblance. In contrast to the rather messy 'Do Anything You Say' the single's B-side is heavily influenced by jazzy melodic changes such as the switching between the first and the fourth chords. Peter Doggett, author of the book The Man who sold the World, suggests that thus the song was rather tailored towards the "cooler end" of London's mod club scene.
'Good Morning Girl' had better been chosen as the single's A-side instead of 'Do Anything You Say' as it is much stronger musically. Bowie even provides a superb vocal performance with some really acing scat vocals when it comes to the recurring guitar solo part of the song. However, 'Good Morning Girl' marked an end to Bowie's explorations of jazz for the foreseeable future. There were only a handful of instances over the following decades of his career in which David Bowie would return to endorse jazzy tunes. The next time he would produce a full jazz-influenced album would be 1993′s Black Tie White Noise.
Tied together with 'Do Anything You Say' the single was yet another commercial failure for Bowie and The Buzz as the single failed to chart upon its release on 1 April 1966. Despite that 'Good Morning Girl' remained part of further live performances by Bowie and his band throughout the year.
Single Version:
'Do Anything You Say' – Single Version (1966)
Two by two, they go walking by Hand in hand, they watch me cry [Two by two, hand in hand] Lonely nights, I dream you're there Morning sun and you're gone [Lonely nights, morning sun] [Maybe] I'll do anything you say [Maybe] I'll do anything you say [Maybe] I'll do anything you say Do anything you say, do anything One desire I ask of you Please be mine, please be mine [One desire, please be mine] Thousand years and I'll return You'll be mine, you'll be mine [Thousand years, you'll be mine] [Maybe] I'll do anything you say [Maybe] I'll do anything you say [Maybe] I'll do anything you say Do anything you say, do anything Two by two they're walking by Hand in hand, they watch me cry [Two by two, hand in hand] [Maybe] I'll do anything you say [Maybe] I'll do anything you say [Maybe] I'll do anything you say Do anything you say, do anything [Maybe] I'll do anything you say [Maybe] I'll do anything you say [Maybe] I'll do anything you say Do anything you say, do anything you say
On 22 February 1966 Bowie and The Buzz demoed 'Do Anything You Say' at Regent Sound Studios. Two weeks later they recorded the single's A-side together with 'Good Morning Girl' on 7 March 1966 at London's Pye Studios. Each The Buzz band member was paid 10 pounds for the session (David assumably more than that). The session must have impressed Tony Hatch since he told them: "I've never heard you guys swing like that before." Apparently, before David became a member of this band they had been playing "out-and-out jazz" according to drummer John Eager.
The song itself is well-done lyrically featuring David singing about a character crying about seeing other couples holding hands after his girlfriend left him alone. However, the slacky R&B rhythm accompanying the song does not do the lyrics justice. This uptempo soul-influenced call-and-response piece is quite forgettable and is one of the weaker songs Bowie released in 1966. The backing vocals are particularly bad. They sound bored and remind of David's former band The Lower Third.
Perhaps the song does not work that well because Bowie never really excelled in the world of soul in his early days at least. Again here, The Who was probably a significant influence on 'Do Anything You Say', particularly the often mentioned hit 'Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere'. Another song that influenced Bowie's chords on that song was The Kinks' 'Tired Of Waiting For You'.
Shortly before the single was released on 1 April 1966 David Bowie together with band member John Eager and Ralph Horton went to the Target Club in the Co-op Memorial Hall, Paul's Row, High Wycombe, Bucks, on 18 March to promote the new single 'Do Anything You Say'. Along with singer David Ballantyne who was also promoting his new single 'Love Around The World' Bowie was interviewed by Earl Richmond for the Radio London 'Big L' act (of which no record still exists).
The single's release on 1 April marks yet a milestone in David Bowie's early career: this single was the first to credit him both as the only artist and songwriter. The final mixing of the single, however, was unsatisfying for The Buzz as they were unhappy about the sound (apparently Tony Hatch has put a dampener into the recording session). Just one day later Melody Maker would give this single a moderate review. Dusty Springfield, guest reviewer on that issue, said the following about the new single: "I haven't got a clue who this is either, but I can see the effort that has gone into this record. It's nice. The sound is a bit messy."
The single was another commercial flop for Bowie and his new band. Though they performed it live on other shows and gigs, in particular the Bowie Showboat which would be created soon, the single just didn't catch the record buying public. However, only two weeks after the release Bowie and The Buzz would make acquaintance with a person named Kenneth Pitt, a figure who would turn out to be quite influential in Bowie's career for the late 1960s.
There exists a different mix of 'Do Anything You Say' on a 1999 reissue of I Dig Everything: The 1966 Pye Singles. The different mix features the same vocals accompanied by a less prominent piano. You can try to spot the differences on the link below:

'And I Say To Myself' – Single Version (1966)
And I say to myself I've got it wrong, wrong, wrong She is a play-girl She the wrong wrong girl for me And I say to myself You're a fool, fool, fool She doesn't love you She doesn't need you, this I know She's got a trail of men that she takes Wherever she goes She hasn't the strength to love any single man for a length of time [And I say to myself] Ooh, I don't stand a chance [And I say to myself] It's a long long romance [And I say to myself] Well, she's out to slay [And I say to myself] Well, she's got it made [And I say to myself] Oh yeah, oh yeah [And I say to myself] Oh yeah And I say to myself that she shouldn't love anybody else in the world but me And I say to myself Forget her now, now, now She don't want you She don't love you anymore And I say to myself you're a fool, fool, fool She's don't love you She don't need you, this I know And I turn around and look at myself You'll never get her, you're a fool Say after me I'm a fool- I'm a fool [And I say to myself] I can't get what I want [And I say to myself] And it makes me sad [And I say to myself] I can't get what I want [And I say to myself] And it makes me mad [And I say to myself] Oh yeah, oh yeah [And I say to myself] Oh yeah And I say to myself that she shouldn't love anybody else in the world but me, yeah Yeah [And I say to myself] Oh, I feel so sad [And I say to myself] She's making me mad [And I say to myself] And I say to myself [And I say to myself] That I love her [And I say to myself] And I say to myself that I need her [And I say to myself] Oh, I need her And I say to myself I'm a fool And I say to myself
Released as the B-side to the 'Can't Help Thinking About Me' single on 14 January 1966, 'And I Say To Myself' is a rather quiet and harmonious little piece differing both in sound and quality to the superior A-side.
Recorded together with 'Can't Help Thinking About Me' on 25 November 1965 at Pye Studios and produced by Tony Hatch, this song has some resemblance with a Bowie-demo discussed earlier on this blog: 'Glad I've Got Nobody'. Both the chord and the style are similar to the demo. The beginninng of the song starts with some promising chromatic harmonic changes as heard in some Beatles songs. The song goes on and shows that its roots must also be in the doo-wop vocal harmony of the 1950s. Vocal inspiration came as well from the Motown sound and the style of The Righteous Brothers and Marvin Gaye. Nicholas Pegg assumes that 'And I Say To Myself' adapted the chords used in Cooke's 'Wonderful World'. Bowie's vocals on this record are a true improvement over earlier recordings. They are worthy matching them against Marvin Gaye in parts.
One major setback of the song is the less intriguing lyrical composition. The song is about a relationship with a rich girl. She does not like him as much as he likes her. The rich girl might perhaps be a reference to the more aristocratic early Bowie girlfriend Dana Gillespee. Hence, the song would hint at Bowie's class-conscience.
What all these influences show is that David Bowie did not know where to go with his musical studies. Midway through this song it is not really possible to detect a sort of sense of direction that the song might take. It's not one of the worst songs of early Bowie – by far not. But in my opinion, it remains one of the less interesting songs.

Scary - head stuck in the gate :(
We always knew our animals would become part of our family but when something happens to scare you out of your wits you realize even more just how much they are a part of your family and life.
This afternoon our children discovered Miss Moo with her head stuck in one side of her stall, which is an old cattle gate. When they found her she was either going limp from shock and exhaustion or dying. For a very brief time we thought we were going to lose her. I cried and could still cry. I mean she's just a cow, right? But she's not. She's OUR cow. She's our FAMILY cow. We LOVE her.
Thankfully, my husband and older children were able to get her unstuck. Within a few minutes she wanted to eat again and was fine. We called the vet out but feel a little silly for doing so because he looked at her, saw her few cuts on her neck/shoulder and pronounced, "She's fine. Give her hay, but easy on the grain." Apparently, grain when cows are stressed can cause an upset tummy. And that was that.
The thing is it had only been an hour since someone had been out in the barn. Just like with children, things can happen so fast. Our dog and horse both were making a rukus but we could not hear their commotion due to the distance between the house and barn. :(
So grateful the children found her when they did and that she's ok.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Benzocaine has the potential to cause serious problems in cats, but less so in dogs. Of course your dog is very small so we need to be cautious. However from what you've described I think it's highly unlikely that she has swallowed enough to cause toxicity.
From what you've said I presume that more than a half hour has passed since she licked your lip…if that's the case then it's too late to induce vomiting anyway.
Don't get too worried, I feel the risks of a problem are extremely remote. Keep a watch on her over the next 24hours. If you notice any signs of ill health then get her to your vet. In particular watch for her being off her food or signs of weakness or incoordination.
Kindest regards, Peter

Canterbury, United Kingdom (PressExposure) November 23, 2009 -- Samsung has tried quite hard for winning the heart of the mobile phone buyers and that is why, it is leaving no stone unturned in equipping its handsets with the very best technologies. As a result of that one can today expect to get such a hi-tech and advanced handset like the Samsung I8000 Omnia. The comfort of handling and the easy access of the best technologies right from GPS services to the internet connectivity are being provided by this phone. So, now the Samsung I8000 Omnia on contracts will easily swipe away all buyers.
âDo you really care to get the best? If yes then there is no reason for you to think and waste time any more. Simply rush to get the Samsung I8000 Omnia [http://www.samsungi8000omnia.co.uk/] just as I did and enjoy your life the best with this superb phone.â This is the opinion of the very straight-forwards and frank Margarita who is a dancer in a pop band. According to Margarita best technologies can only enhance the state of living of one and hence, she has got the Samsung I8000 Omnia through the contract deals.
The contract deals are good to be opted by the users as these provide free calling and discounted calling facilities, free text messages, low roaming charges, free handset and free gift etc loads of benefits. The Samsung I8000 Omnia on contracts [http://www.samsungi8000omnia.co.uk/samsung-i8000-omnia-contracts.html] is a good combination with this deal as it carries specs like SMS, MMS, Email, IM, Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional Operating System, 3D interactive games, stereo FM radio with RDS and a powerful 5MP camera with a line of brilliant features.

Customer Reviews
Shanghai Majong
I am very pleased that I chose this game. I have had several different Mahjong games both for PC and MAC. This is one of my favorites for layouts, tile sets, backgrounds, sound--everything.
It comes with a default tile set and Background, but you can download more and they are all very interesting. It does not have a full screen option, but has great layouts and the backgrounds and tile sets are easy to see and visually interesting and challenging.
This is a great choice.
My Mahjong wish
If only this game could be Full Screen. What I like best about this Mahjong over any game to compare is there is an option to play with tiles other than the typical chinese calligraphy. What would really rock is if paired tiles rewarded the player with a short animation or small movie. There was a mahjong game I purchased long ago in th 80's that offered the best game I ever played. That game offered the best reward; if won, a short black and white old movie clip played for the winner. It was like winning the Lottery.
It needs lion full screen support.
honestly, the only fault I could find with this game is lack of full screen support for lion. I like to keep all my open apps full screen, and its really sad, that such a great game is lacking this very basic ability. upgrade with full screen support, and I will gladly give it 5 stars. otherwise its an excellent game, and i dont believe there is a better mahjong solitare game out there, for any platform.

I've been using this since it first came out--over a decade ago! It doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes and I think it's prevented a lot of damage.
This is a must have!!! Ive used it for 3 month and the results are amazing. Fine lines and dark circles are reduced. I have 2 small children and the night feeds have taken a toll but this eye serum has worked miracles. Highly recommend this product.
Both myself and my wife have been using this serum for over 5 years. Definitely the best on the market. Firms skin under eyes and gets rid of fine wrinkles.
All hype... no results.
I have just started using this and it really does have anti-aging effects. My skin got a little irritated, so I use it about twice a week, but will work up to using it every day.
I use this eye serum and. The face serum and have been so pleased with both.

A semi-autobiographical account of a young man's struggles with bipolar disorder and his descent into madness.

2/28 Update
I'm still waiting to hear back from the agent at William Morris Endeavor (WME). In the meantime, I've received interest from three other agencies, two of which are currently reviewing my full manuscript. I should find out more about my situation within the next few days, and I'll be keeping you updated on events as they progress.

BIG Update
Lately, I've been working with Andy Behrman, author of Electroboy: A Memoir of Mania, who's been trying to help me find an agent. Big news on that front today--the agent he's tried to connect me with has read and liked my book proposal. His assistant sent me an email asking for the rest of the manuscript, and I complied in approximately zero seconds.

2/15 Update
Well, it's official. I won't be working for TFA next year. I didn't make it past the first round of the admissions process. So I'm putting some of my leftover eggs in the USF graudate writing program basket.
Today, I went down to Boston for a therapy appointment at the MGH Bipolar clinic. We discussed my plan to go out to San Francisco with my brother and my mother to check out some of the schools he's applying to. They'll be going to SF, Portland, and Tacoma, but I'll be staying in SF for the duration, most likely hanging out with my good friend Michael A. Lewis. I'm looking forward to the trip.
In related news, I've started writing a novel[la] about a road trip, and would really like to take one myself. For now, the San Fran trip will have to suffice.
I also got in touch with Andy Behrman, and offered my services as an assistant.

Personal Updates
I've applied to work for a bunch of organizations in the last few weeks, including Teach For America. I've also applied to the University of San Francisco's MFA program in Writing.
In the meantime, I've applied to work as a substitute teacher for my old high school. My former AP Gov't teacher informed me that two social studies teachers are going on sabbatical next year, and he invited me to apply for one of the as of yet unfilled positions. I told him that I'll apply if I'm still expecting to be in the area, but that, really, I want to be on the other side of the country by the time the 2011-12 school year rolls around.
A portion of the first chapter of my semi-autobiographical story about bipolar disorder was featured on allaboutbipolar.com on Feb. 2, so I've managed to get a bit more traffic via that connection.
I've also started sending out my manuscript proposal to agents. First on my list was an agent at William Morris, but I haven't heard back from him yet so I'm starting to target others. Wish me luck!

Why do I charge for posts?
besides the many benefits to building exposure for sustainable brands...
I write about sustainability. Sustainably Chic needs an economy to be sustainable {i.e. a paycheck for me}
I advocate for fair wages for all, and I should be included.
I'm offering a service, and it has value. My following has grown to over 60k in two years, and I've created an audience Google clicks and Facebook boosts don't offer.
I write, take photos and promote your brand, which ends up taking a full day and then some. Technically, I'm paid way under minimum wage when all is said and done. {I'm okay with that, I just started charging this year and it's a baby step process} This doesn't include the number of hours a day I put into promoting Sustainably Chic, which is just as important in order to grow a larger audience for you.
I don't answer all emails sent, and I most certainly don't work with any brands I can not support. Even though you are still paying a small fee to be a part of the site, I genuinely love what each brand offers on Sustainably Chic and will always promote with honesty. The only way Sustainably Chic will stay running is through the support of you. :) Thanks for taking the time to read. If you have any other questions, I'm an open book & I'd be happy to answer!
I have this question asked about once a week, so I thought this would be a great page to put together. I'll add more in the future!

IBM Cloud steals Lombardi thunder
Another IBM Agility seminar at the Shangri-La Hotel, and some BPM announcements. And in contrast with the sunny spring skies warming Sydney's harbour (for those of you in the northern hemisphere ) the best bit in here was the cloud.
But first …. Websphere Lombardi Edition is to have drag and drop integration with both FileNet P8 Content Server and Content Manager 8. The extent of the functionality involved wasn't clear to me – presumably IBM will start with search/retrieval and later move on to others like metadata update and new document insertion? Anyway, further integration will be with Websphere Service Registry and Repository – useful for orchestration purposes – and with iLog, where it will be possible to browse and select an existing Ruleset on a predefined iLog JRules Execution Server.
In the meantime Websphere iLog itself is to be coupled with Websphere Business Events to become Webspher Decision Server, extending IBM's business events capability, whilst the iLog BRMS SupportPac is to provide Websphere Business Monitoring and predictive analytics integration
All very worthy, but much less interesting than the next piece of news, which was the launch of Blueworks Live. This combines three elements – the Blueworks BPM collaboration community (blogs, wikis); the highly successful (Lombardi) Blueprint process discovery and definition environment; and a new workflow execution engine. All running in the Cloud and, apparently, available through your browser for a test drive from November 20th. (Yes, that's this Saturday – perhaps one of the software world's most specific launch dates ever…!).
Now, Cloud-based BPM is hardly new. Cordys was one of the first to offer it globally, and there are niche players too, such as Australian company OpenSoft, which uses open source products to provide integrated Cloud-based BPM to the burgeoning Australian energy and resources sectors. However, Cloud-based BPM from IBM is something else entirely. IBM's existing mindshare in the global BPM market and its credibility as a corporate Cloud (and FM) provider mean that the interest in this product will be enormous, and as a result it could well be a game-changer for all BPM stakeholders.
The PowerPoint-based demo that followed included a marketing manager setting up a new process for her latest marketing initiative. Yes, that's one process for one case/process instance. And if the Powerpoint is to be believed, it only took her a few minutes.
How can this fail? The CIO's happy because it's SaaS; the Board because it's IBM; the Ops Manager is comfortable because its running in an IBM Datacentre; the process improvement people have Blueprint to play with; the IT teams can focus on integrated, production BPM system work; and best of all the Business can replace its endless email trails with easy to access, auditable business processes.
So what next? Well, here's a prediction – Blueworks Live will do for business processes what Microsoft Sharepoint did for enterprise content – it will get everywhere. That means a step change in awareness regarding BPM (how many business – or even IT – people knew of ECM before Sharepoint?) and huge opportunities for BPM professionals to sort out all of those 'home grown' processes. Bring it on!
BPM with IBM Websphere
I attended an IBM 'Business Agility' workshop at Sydney's Shangri-La Hotel yesterday – the first IBM event to feature BPM that I've managed to get to since the Lombardi purchase. It was a Websphere event, which meant that it included Lombardi and excluded FileNet, so I was a little concerned that the BPM section might be dominated by talk of process orchestration and middleware layers, rather than end-to-end processes.
I needn't have worried. The Websphere team has embraced IBM Lombardi (as we must now know Teamworks) with great enthusiasm, and started a day of real (yes, live) demonstrations with several that showed off Lombardi to good effect. Point and click SLA setup; process stats (such as wait or execution times) displayed through a mouse-over in the unified process model-define-simulate view; colourful monitoring views populated with whatever defined field you required – just click that checkbox on the field definition dialogue; and so on.
There were also Websphere Dynamic Process Edition (Process Server, as was) demos. The emphasis there was on architecture, integration and transactional integrity. The latter featured a high-wire demo, with 100 updates to two databases on separate servers, interrupted by the speaker who pulled out the connecting cable to the second (Oracle, as it happened) with a flourish. 56 updates had been processed successfully and, to the relief of all, the other 44 were in a 'failed' queue, from which they were dispatched – to a successful completion – by a single click on the 'resume' button once the cable was re-connected. We were told that the product was unique amongst BPMS's in fully supporting two-phase commits, with resume, restart and 'compensate' options for system administrators.
All of which provided – to this viewer – a pretty clear, if unspoken, message. For the human side of BPM (the typical financial services back office, perhaps), Lombardi is IBM's answer, packed with business-friendly features. Alternatively, if the business depends on multiple integration points that require sophisticated sequencing, error handling and recovery options – bullet proof delivery, in other words, WDPE does the job (telco provisioning comes to mind). And for the business that needs both, well, integration between the two is currently available through web services, with work under way to convert Lombardi to IBM's Service Component Architecture, the basis of the Websphere product range.
One other demonstrated feature of WDPE that I liked, by the way, is the easy way in which routing rules can be changed without re-deploying (or even opening for editing) the process itself. This seems like an obvious feature, but by no means all BPMS's share it. Isolating the change eliminates the need for system and regression testing and even (depending upon the process design and one's perception of risk) UAT. Now there's something that offers Business Agility.
IBM to buy Lombardi
A few thoughts to add to those already covered by other BPM bloggers such as Sandy Kemsley, Bruce Silver, and Neil Ward-Dutton (who gets the prize for the best title so far) …
Lombardi's particular strengths in relation to other IBM BPM products are its fully built-in process simulation function – including use of historic 'live' data – and the genuine business agility that arises from the 360° functionality (integration, rules, process, user interface) that is managed from a single development environment. Whilst it shares one or both of these with other 'pure play' BPM vendors, Lombardi has won enough gongs from industry analysts and others in recent years to regard themselves as leaders in the 'pure play' pack – no doubt a reason for IBM's buy decision.
IBM says that it will be targeting Lombardi at 'departmental' and 'human-centric' solutions; it references speed of build ('fast start for immediate value'), and, intriguingly, is looking in 2010 to 'leverage Lombardi to expand BPM offerings in emerging markets'.
All of which suggests that IBM's selling price for Lombardi products is likely to become the epicentre of activity for IBM's BPM strategists over the coming vacation. Departmental and emerging markets – both great targets for Lombardi's technology – are not known for big spending. Competition in these markets from still-independent (and local) BPM vendors will be intense, putting downward pressure on prices. Meanwhile technical differentiation with Websphere BPM and FileNet (in particular – if 'content-centric' BPM isn't meant for humans, who is it for?) may well be less than IBM's initial positioning suggests. As a user of the Websphere stack, or of FileNet content management, considering moving on to BPM and wanting to stay with IBM, why wouldn't you buy Lombardi, particularly if the price is attractive?
IBM's internal product management challenges aside, this purchase is likely to produce more winners than losers. Those who have invested in Lombardi already (an elite club here in Australia to date) and those considering doing so will be pleased to have their decision underwritten by IBM, with the prospect of improvements in support and service options to come; similarly, this is good news for Websphere and FileNet customers who have yet to invest heavily in BPM – it expands their choices too. And with what should be a significant boost to their market, some of the biggest winners could be Lombardi service providers. Watch out for skills shortages.
No doubt FileNet customers who have already invested in BPM will be looking for reassurance that their product roadmap will not be adversely influenced by the Lombardi purchase. In particular users of the Business Process Framework, FileNet's equivalent of Lombardi's forms builder, will be asking questions of IBM regarding future BPM forms developments; questions that may also interest some Lombardi customers. Does Lombardi's 'human-centricity' imply that one day all IBM BPM users will use their forms? Or will an entirely new forms paradigm be available to all FileNet, Websphere and Lombardi users? My bet is on the latter.
And whilst IBM technologists ponder the future of enterprise BPM forms, where business rules (iLog?) drive super-flexible UI components (why do BPM vendors so readily refer to 'orchestrating' SOA components but never 'orchestrating' the user interface?), perhaps their thoughts will turn to the product that will really change the market. One that IBM is prepared to position as both enterprise level and – like Lombardi – truly agile.
btw if you want to read the IBM announcement, you can find it here. Onward links are top right – the 'FAQ' document expands considerably on the press release.
A Big Blue bird
I've been tweeted by IBM – via the BPM Network, admittedly – announcing the latest news on IBM's community for BPM process fiends, BPM BlueWorks (beta). I'm glad I caught it because BPM BlueWorks looks like it could add real value – and it's only 3 weeks old (always nice to catch innovation early).
The idea seems to be that companies are encouraged to join the community, each operating within its own private area, with employees defining and sharing process strategies, capabilities and definitions with fellow employees. At the same time employees can break out into communal areas, to blog and discuss issues that they – most likely – have in common with other similar groups. A great deal of relevant content (including white papers, process maps, case studies) has already been made available by IBM itself, and a partnership with APQC has added more.
It'll be interesting to see how this develops. Perhaps it will particularly appeal to BPM champions within smaller organizations that lack an existing, coherent process repository. The tools, combined with the community, should be attractive. I can also imagine it being useful to BPM specialists within larger organizations, such as those already participating in a BPM Centre of Excellence, though more as one information source amongst many.
I'd write more, but although I could register for the site, logging on – to access full functionality – proved impossible due to 'temporary capacity problems'. Looks like the marketing tweeters are slightly ahead of the rest of the big blue bird. Never mind, I'll try again later….

I feel I should know this but alas I don't. I want to be able to limit who can connect remotely through our VPN. We use a Cisco ASA which in turn points to our Active Directory Domain controller. It looks like Cisco will pass anything along and that AD will accept/deny users. In AD I see a dial in tab but the obvious check on deny still allows the user remote access. I do not have RAS enabled on the domain. Is this where I need to go next? We do use a shared group username and password on the ASA that stops most.

You're probably using RADIUS to authenticate to Active Directory. In the ASA you'll root around and you'll find the RADIUS server, which is probably an IP address. Go to that server and start Internet Authentication Service tool (in Administrative Tools).
Click on Remote Access Policies and you'll probably have a single rule in there with some weird default characters. Typically I remove that rule and add a new one (see below). I believe the default settings are fine, but you might want to edit the profile and check the authentication tabs and make sure they match the picture.
Sep 1, 2009 at 2:30 UTC
Essentially you create a group in AD and then configure IAS to only allow members of the group access.
Sep 1, 2009 at 2:31 UTC
Another idea is to determine if you are authenticating using an AAA server group. I think you should be able to track that down in ASDM if so.
Sep 1, 2009 at 2:36 UTC
Currently we do not have radius setup on the ASA. It is pointed to our DC port 139 LDAP connection. So I think this means any account can connect? It sounds like I need to change the ASA to use radius authentication and setup IAS on our DC.
Sep 1, 2009 at 2:38 UTC
Charlie it does say in the ASA it is using a AAA server>DC.
Sep 1, 2009 at 2:53 UTC
What protocol is it using?
Not sure if these might be helpful or not:
Sep 1, 2009 at 5:52 UTC
Just scanning through the second link which looks like the right one, I didn't see any way to setup VPN users against a group. It just authenticates based on OU which seems less then ideal to me.
RADIUS does allow a bit more control and is pretty simple to setup.
Sep 2, 2009 at 8:59 UTC
With the help of many screenshots I can show how we've got it set up, only members of a certain AD group are allowed access and also, the dial-in permission has to be set to 'grant access' per AD user.
Oh rubbish - I can only upload 1 at a time :(
Okay, apologies for the large number of posts coming up. I've *****d out some of the fields you'll need to fill in, they should be self explanotory but let me know if you're stuck on any of them.
First pic is from Configuration->Properties->AAA Setup->AAA Server Groups->Add a new group.
Sep 2, 2009 at 9:00 UTC
Second pic is from Configuration->Properties->AAA Setup->AAA Server Groups->Add Server
Sep 2, 2009 at 9:02 UTC
Configuration->Properties->AAA Setup->LDAP Attribute Map->Add
The msNP is the important one here
Sep 2, 2009 at 9:03 UTC
Same place on the other tab, set the TRUE value to the exact name of your ad group.
Sep 2, 2009 at 9:06 UTC
Configuration->VPN->General->Tunnel Group->Edit your group or create new->Authentication tab
Choose the aaa server group name you specified earlier.
That's it for the ASA side, then you need to configure IAS radius on one of your servers as per Martin's screenshots, we've only enabled MS-CHAP V2 and it works fine. Obviously the group name has to match!

// This is the second part of the prior article about 'Troubleshooting Five Signal Problems on Samsung Galaxy Note 2.' Tackled in this page are the remaining three problems associated with signal or network reception on Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
Problem # 3. Unable to Make a Call
Some people are having problems making a call from their Galaxy Note 2 devices, yet they are able to receive incoming calls. Such problem can be due to any of the following factors:
- Change of carrier
- Inactive account
- Incorrect account set up
- Network outage in the area
- Third-party application
- Inconsistent network connection
- Call barring/restrictions enabled
- Verify current account status to see if it is in good standing or not delinquent.
- Check your device and make sure it is getting adequate signal strength of at least 2-3 bars.
- Try to make a call. If you hear any recording every time you make a call, then take note of the recording message and call you service provider to have them address the issue.
- Also let your service provider know if the problem on signal loss only occurs when you try to make a call at certain locations.
- Check your device for any possible liquid or physical damages. Some issues on mobile network connectivity are linked to liquid or physical damage present on the device, especially if it was dropped or got wet.
- To make sure the problem is not due to a use of faulty SIM card or incorrect SIM card installation, verify the SIM card you are using is correct and originally comes from your service provider.
- If you happen to forget updating your device software, then this is the time for you to consider updating it. Checkout any available software updates for your device and go for the upgrade.
- As standard procedure, re-establish network connection with the mobile network by removing the battery from your Galaxy Note 2 for 30 seconds with the device is still on, and then replace the battery afterwards. Turn the device on and wait for a few seconds for it to connect to the available mobile network.
- Make a test call to another phone number and see if it will go through this time.
- To test further if the service is already active, try to send a text message to yourself. If you cannot send or receive the text message, then the next thing you need to do is contact your service provider for further troubleshooting assistance.
What to do when you are unable to make a call to a specific number?
- In case you are attempting to call a number that is stored on your device, try using the phone's keypad or dialer to dial the number, using either an 11-digit (1+area code+number) or a 10-digit (area code+number) number sequence. If the call is successful, delete the original contact from your device and create a new one with the number sequence you used to make the last successful call.
- If the call is not successful and you heard one or two rings and then the call dropped, or you are prompted with a "Call Failed," "Call Ended," or disconnected, it indicates that the person you are trying to reach is preventing your call from being completed. It therefore means that your device is working properly.
What to do when you are unable to make a call to any number?
- If this is the case, then make sure call barring or restrictions on your device are not set for outgoing calls.
Here is how to check Call Restrictions/Barring configurations on Galaxy Note 2:
- Touch the MENU icon from the Home Screen.
- Touch to select Settings from the sub-menu items.
- Touch to select My Device.
- Touch to select Call.
- Touch to select Additional Settings.
- Touch Call Barring to see if call barring is enabled on your device.
- Make sure the options for All Outgoing Calls is UNCHECKED.
Problem #4. Unable to Receive a Call
In this case, you are able to make a call but cannot receive calls on your device. Aside from the other probable known causes, this problem can also be due to the device's Blocking mode is enabled, Airplane mode is active, or call barring/restrictions are enabled.
Considering your account is in good status and other possibilities are verified not causing the problem, here is what to do next.
- Check Airplane mode is not active on the device. Just press and hold the Power button for a moment and wait until you see the prompt 'Airplane mode is OFF.' If it doesn't say so, then touch Airplane mode to disable the feature.
- Also perform standard procedure to re-establish a connection with the mobile network. In case you forget, just remove the battery for 30 seconds, wait for a few more seconds and turn on the device. Wait until the device already established a connection to the network. Continue by making a test call to your device from a different device.
Cannot Receive a call from a specific number
Here's what to do if you cannot receive a call from a specific number:
- Check the number of the caller is not included in call restrictions like Auto Reject. Check your device settings and see if auto reject mode is active or enabled. Here is how to manage auto reject mode on your Galaxy Note 2:
- Open the Phone application.
- Touch the Menu icon.
- Touch to select Call settings from the sub-menu.
- Touch to select Call rejection.
- Touch Auto Reject Mode –> OFF.
- Make a test call or let someone call your device to see if it's working now.
- If problem persists, then uninstall any third-party applications from your device.
Cannot Receive a call from any number
This issue is also likely due to Call Restrictions like Auto Reject settings enabled or activated. Another possible cause is the Blocking Mode is disabled on the device.
Solution A. Manage Auto Reject
Here is how:
- Open the Phone application
- Touch the Menu Icon to continue
- Touch to select Call Settings
- Touch to select Call Rejection
- Touch Auto Reject Mode –>OFF
- Make a test call to your device
Solution B. Manage Blocking Mode settings
As recommended, Blocking Mode should be disabled on the device. Once the feature is enabled, all calls to the device will be directly sent to voicemail unless you have added numbers to the Allowed Contacts list manually. Here is how to manage Blocking Mode Settings on Galaxy Note 2:
- Touch the Menu icon from the home screen.
- Touch to select Settings from the sub-menu.
- Touch My Device to continue
- Touch Blocking Mode to check its status.
- Touch the ON slider to turn the Blocking feature OFF.
- After verifying the Blocking mode is set to OFF, make a test call to your device.
If problem persists, then check call barring or forwarding restrictions are not set for incoming calls.
Problem #5. Dropped Calls
Dropped calls can be caused by several factors such as:
- Underground locations like subway lines, parking garages and basements
- Low battery strength causing low signal strength
- Signal barriers like hills, trees, large buildings or mountains
- Dead spots, especially in areas with not enough cell towers
- Peak hours like rush-hour commute that may overload towers in certain location
- Built-in drop call schedule like carriers are automatically setting drop calls after a certain number of hours to prevent any unexpected overages from "pocket-dialing"
- Check if you are getting enough signal (at least 2-3 bars)
- Check with your Service Provider for coverage, particularly in areas where you are experiencing dropped calls. Poor reception is always possible especially if you are traveling.
- Check your device for any physical or liquid damages.
- If you are using a SIM card, make sure it is not faulty and correctly installed in your device. The SIM card must also come from your Service Provider to avoid any other SIM-card related issues.
- Set your device to use only 2G/3G networks especially if you are in an area where 4G is not available. You can always set it back to 4G when the coverage is available.
Here is how to adjust network settings on your Galaxy Note 2:
a. Touch Menu from the Home screen, then go to Settings, Connections, More Networks, Mobile Networks, and finally Network Mode.
b. Under Network Mode options, select GSM, CDMA or GSM/UMTS.
If problem persists, please contact your service provider to assist you further in troubleshooting problems on dropped calls with your Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

One of the benefits of membership is the ability to enroll your child in our Religious School. We strive to nurture excellence in Jewish education and a lifelong love of Jewish learning, to impart to our students and their families the skills to be practicing Conservative Jews and to enrich their understanding of Judaism. All of these efforts are guided by Torah, Avodah, and Gemilut Hasadim.
Our primary role as a people is to pass to our children the beauty and meaning of Judaism - our traditions, practices and values. Our educational philosophy is to provide experiential learning throughout our schools utilizing art, drama, music, and creative writing. Children start in our elementary school, and then proceed through middle school to our Hebrew High School and the A.M. Ellis Midrasha. Each year's curriculum builds upon the year before to maximize learning in the following areas: Torah, Prayer, Values, Hebrew Language and Reading, and Holidays/Jewish Living in Israel. To assist in learning the prayers, we have even created a special page with audio files.
We are proud that our schools and our youth department have been honored with the Solomon Schechter Gold Award for Excellence in Education from the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism in December 2005. In April 2009, we were reaccredited as a Framework of Excellence School.
We at Har Zion Temple know that everyone has planted within them the seeds of possibility and dreams waiting to be realized. We see it every day in the students that attend our pre-school, religious school, and camp. We see it in the eyes of our B'nai Mitzvah students, confirmation students, our Madregot students and our USYers. By sending your children to our schools, camp, and youth programming you help us realize the dreams of our children. As tradition teaches us: "Al Shelosha Devarim haolam omed, al hatorah, v'al haavodah, v'al gemilut hasadim haomed. The world rests on three things, Torah, Worship and Acts of Loving Kindness." We look forward to your joining our community as we realize our dreams. My door is always open and I welcome your questions and comments.
