Well, a quarter of the season is already over. I can't believe how fast it goes. We spend all summer talking about things that end up not mattering and then the actual season goes by in a blur.
I know some people like to wait a month before they start trading players. I don't understand that kind of thinking personally, but if you've been sitting on your backside waiting until you're 0-4 to start changing your team, I guess you're in luck.
The good news is you have one more week before it's time to throw in the towel. At 0-4 you can probably still turn things around. I'm not going to lie though if you go 0-5 it's time to start ranking players for next season.
This is actually a good week to go out and get players. Besides the guys I mention below, Dennis Pitta put up a goose egg last week and probably cost some owners a win, so he could be a player to target. Remember, it's always best to strike when people are emotional over a loss.
Now here are the players I'm advising to buy low and sell high on after Week 4.
Buy Low
C.J. Spiller, RB Bills – This is the second time Spiller has made it in the column and it's because I'm one of his biggest fans on the planet. I think Spiller is a special player and if I can get a special player I'm always interested.
A couple of weeks ago Spiller was so hot you couldn't touch him. Then a shoulder injury and a Fred Jackson return later and Spiller has gone from the NFL's leading rusher to a dicey flex play. Throw in a meeting with the vaunted 49ers defense next week and trading for Spiller may not seem like the best idea right now.
I have a theory though about athletes in 2012. I think they come back way too quickly from injuries because medical science allows them to. I watched Spiller on Sunday and he was running cautiously. He didn't have the same burst through the hole as he normally does.
In my opinion Spiller and the Bills probably would have been better off if he sat out on Sunday, but that's the kind of drive that made Spiller a professional athlete in the first place. Moving forward though I think we'll see the Spiller that from Week 14 of 2011 to Week 3 of this season ranked third in the NFL in total yards behind only Ray Rice and Maurice Jones-Drew.
Jackson is back and even though in my opinion Spiller is the better player right now, I'm a realist. I understand Spiller isn't going to get 25 carries a game. The Bills haven't been to the playoffs since 1999, so no organization in the NFL knows how to stymie talent better than Buffalo.
Still, I expect strong fantasy numbers from Spiller in PPR formats. He's always going to catch passes for you and even in a game like next week against a tough rush defense he'll make an impact as a receiver. The guy is just too spectacular for even the Bills coaching staff to keep on the bench. At least I think so but then again, who knows?
I think now is a perfect time to strike with Spiller. Remember, Jackson is 31 and has been injured twice in the last year. There's no guarantee he'll make it through the rest of the season. Spiller is going to be a solid fantasy contributor regardless but if Jackson goes down again he'll return to being a stud.
As I write below, I hate backfield headaches but Spiller is the one talent I would be willing to roll the dice on because of the elite upside he showed at the end of 2011 and the first two games of this season. If you're looking to trade for a running back Spiller would be at the top of my list.
Julio Jones, WR Falcons – Remember back in Week 1 when people wouldn't part with Jones if you offered up Aaron Rodgers, Barry Sanders and Jerry Rice? Well, the times they may be a changing.
After a torrid preseason, Jones caught six balls for 108 yards and two scores in Week 1 against the Chiefs. In his next three games Jones has totaled 10 catches for 111 yards and one score, while being vastly out-produced by teammate Roddy White. So what does this all mean? Well, for me it means do whatever you can to get Jones right away.
I usually don't care what people say during press conferences because it's just a bunch of lip service but since that opening week all opposing coaches have said is they were trying to take Jones out of the offense. That has opened things up for White and Tony Gonzalez to have big weeks while defenders pay more attention to Jones.
Now the Falcons don't care about our fantasy football teams. They have two elite receivers. If defenses use three guys to take away Jones, Matt Ryan will throw the ball to White. It's pretty simple. However, how long are defenses going to let White destroy them? Sooner or later they will have to even out coverages and then Jones will get his. Now you want to get him before he gets his.
Jones was way overvalued heading into the season. Some sites were suggesting selecting Jones in Round 1, which was absolutely ludicrous with White still in the prime of his career. You really need to guard against these things in the summer. People are so willing to jump aboard a hot player that they are ready to forget about the most targeted receiver in the NFL over the last two years like he doesn't even exist anymore.
Now that Jones is coming off a one-catch performance in what was a high scoring game, this is the perfect time to strike. Jones is still a sought after commodity so owners may not be willing to part with him but there's no harm in trying and you can bet I'll be trying to get Jones in all my leagues this week. I suggest you do the same and do it quickly because after Jones feasts on the Redskins' laughable secondary it will be too late.
Kyle Rudolph, TE Vikings – I own Rudolph and I think the guy is one of the most talented tight ends in the NFL right now. The problem for Rudolph is he doesn't play in New England or New Orleans, so he's going to have a few dud weeks like we saw on Sunday.
If you have a stud tight end then you're all set but if you're wallowing in that second-tier territory I would make a move for Rudolph. I think his good weeks are going to far outweigh his bad ones. Also, the Vikings really wanted to pound the football right at Detroit on Sunday, so Rudolph did a lot more blocking than he will most weeks.
Another reason to really like Rudolph going forward is the return of Jerome Simpson. Now that he's back from his 3-game suspension, Simpson gives the Vikings a receiver to stretch the field. That should take some of the pressure off of Rudolph and open things up for him on underneath routes. Minnesota has one of the NFL's best receivers in Percy Harvin but Simpson gives the offense a vertical threat that it lacked.
I still believe Rudolph is a year away from becoming an elite tight end but that's more because of the inconsistent offense he plays in, not because of his talent level. For this season his big weeks will often be tied to whether or not he scores but Rudolph is a monster in the red zone, so I expect more good days than bad ones.
Either way if you can get your hands on a talent like Rudolph at any point during the season, I would do it.

BERLIN, Aug 30 (Reuters) - German annual inflation slowed by more than expected in August to within the European Central Bank's price stability range, data showed on Thursday, supporting its approach of winding down its monetary stimulus only gradually.
German consumer prices, harmonised to make them comparable with inflation data from other European Union countries, rose by 1.9 percent year-on-year after an increase of 2.1 percent in the previous month, the Federal Statistics Office said.
This was below the average reading of 2.0 percent in a Reuters poll of analysts. The ECB targets inflation of close to but below 2 percent.
On the month, EU-harmonised prices were flat, the preliminary numbers showed. That compared with the Reuters consensus forecast for an increase of 0.1 percent. (Reporting by Joseph Nasr Editing by Paul Carrel)

Alchemy is the ancient healing process that is embodied by the landscapes of the Earth. It is the process of nature, recycling old energy into new life. Our physical and energetic bodies are Alchemical, we hold the ability to recycle all that is not of service us into Prana energy. By consciously engaging this process we can transform blocks and problems in our physical, mental, emotional and
realities. Liberating stuck energy, sets us free from the past and fills us with life force energy so that we can manifest the life we want. It is one of the most effective and empowering forms of healing that I have ever witnessed in over ten years of working as a healer and channel.

'Holy Alchemy! My Alchemy session with Katy was one of the most powerful healing sessions I have ever experienced. She guided me deep into my subconscious core wounds- into the shadow of the aspect of myself still lost in trauma and suffering. The result was a massive inner shift as my heart expanded, my womb became more sovereign, and my root felt a deeper connection to
. I released so much density blocking me from truly being in my body, from truly feeling safe and at home with mother
, and she helped open me up to aligning to stepping more into my power. To share space with Katy and have her witness the darker parts of my journey without judgment and with complete unconditional love, was another piece to this alchemical healing in itself. It is a bit hard to put into words what I experienced, but what I can say from my heart is that Katy is an incredibly gifted channel and healer and I am in such gratitude to have come across her beautiful light on my path. If you feel guided to work with her I would absolutely not hesitate! So much love and appreciation for her service:)'

22nd March 2017
Wow! It is almost 9 months now since I updated my blog and so much has happened. First of all I delivered a healthy baby girl called Lola Rae on the 26th June 2016. I returned to work in October and shortly after my return, our fabulous Care Manager Jacinta, decided to hang up her boots and hand her notice in. To say we were all devastated is an understatement. Jacinta left at the end of January 2017 and I have taken over the reigns. I have some big shoes to fill but I think we seem to be doing really well so far and I am so proud of the fabulous team that we have.
Lindsey has been promoted to Deputy Manager and Chelsie and Danielle have been promoted to Senior Assistants. Dawn continues in her role as Deputy so I am very confident in our leadership team.
We recently achieved 5 stars at our Food Hygiene Inspection for the 5th year running and are waiting for our unannounced CQC Inspection. We have had our grounds completely redone and its looking fabulous. We are going to be hatching our own chicks at Easter and then keeping them which we are all very excited about. More to follow on that when they arrive.
So it's been a very busy 9 months and I certainly have my hands full but the most important thing is the continued excellent care we provide to our residents and ensuring they are happy, secure and loved.
Will write soon I promise!
Love lots,
Marilou xxxx

Hi everyone!
I have just been updating the website and realised I haven't written anything on here for ages. To be honest, our facebook page seems to have replaced this blog. It is much easier and quicker to post information on our facebook page so please do have a read of it to find out what has been going on at Alexandra Court over the past few months.
I will be going on Maternity Leave in June 2016, so this will be my final blog for a while. I feel a bit torn really about not being here everyday with our residents. As much as I am looking forward to my first baby, I feel like Alexandra Court is my baby too and I will miss it so much when I am off. I will only be off for 12 weeks though and popping in as often as I can. I will also have access to my emails at all times should anyone need me.
In the meantime, I leave Alexandra Court in the extremely capable hands of Jacinta, Dawn and all our fabulous staff. I am so proud of all of them for achieving such a fantastic CQC report this year and for ensuring we kept our 'enhanced' status from Leeds City Council, not to mention our 5 star Food Hygiene rating.
There seems to be so many horrible press reports lately about poor standards of care in care homes and it can be so demoralising for those of us who do provide excellent standards of care. We strive every day to make sure that our residents feel safe, loved, cared for, happy and content in their lives at Alexandra Court and our inspection report proves this.
Anyway, while I am away, please keep an eye on our facebook page for updates on Alexandra Court and I shall update my blog when I return.
Lots of love,
November 2014
I can't believe we are into November now – time is flying by.
We had a wonderful evening last night at our Fireworks Party. Everyone seemed to enjoy it – particularly the Prosecco and Baileys!
This month we were visited for the first time by Keystone KOPS who are an entertainment duo. The feedback from the residents was fantastic. They all really enjoyed it and we have booked them to come again in December. Here is a little video of one of our lovely residents singing with Keystone KOPS:
We are all really looking forward to seeing White Christmas at the West Yorkshire Playhouse next month. Residents are going to see it as a Christmas present from us, in small groups throughout December. I can't wait for Christmas – we usually put the decorations up on the 1st December and get everyone involved and have mulled wine and mince pies.
Lots of love – marilouise xxx
It is the 3rd October 2014 today and Alexandra Court's first official blog!
I will be doing a monthly blog letting people know what's been going on at Alexandra Court. My name is Marilouise and I am one of the Directors along with my two brothers and father.
So this month has seen the launch of our new website which I am thrilled with. It is much more interactive than the previous one and has a lot more information on it about who we are and what we provide. We have had some lovely feedback on it so far.
We had three new lovely residents arrive in September so we are now fully occupied again. It is always exciting when new residents arrive. We love getting their bedrooms ready and organising brand new bedding and one resident even chose a brand new carpet for her room. It is important to us that residents can choose how they want their bedroom to be decorated and it helps the resident settle in better. We love it even more when a new resident brings things from home in because it makes the bedroom so much more personal and homely.
We had our annual Health and Safety Inspection which went really well. There were a few minor points that we have to implement such as providing a risk assessment for the Deep Fat Fryer and ensuring that even the tiny windows in the building have restrictors on them to prevent injury.
We had our quarterly residents meeting which was well attended. We discussed future activities such as our annual fireworks display and Christmas. This year residents have decided they would like to go to the theatre in small groups instead of going out for a meal like we did last year. They decided on White Christmas which is being performed at the West Yorkshire Playhouse throughout December and I have actually just received the tickets through the post today for everyone. I think the staff are more excited than the residents about going!
Lastly we had a 95th birthday yesterday. Mrs N had a lovely day. Her family came and joined her for lunch in her bedroom and then at tea time we brought her out a birthday cake and all the residents and staff sung Happy Birthday to her.
Lots of love until next month – Marilouise x

Cadillac Ups Its Game with the New CT6 Using Aluminum Extrusions
October 2015
To compete with performance luxury sedans like Audi's A8, BMW's 7 series and the Mercedes S Class, Cadillac product developers knew they needed to bring more than luxury … they also needed to deliver a level of performance and agility previously unseen in the marque's large vehicles.
If you're ready for this next step forward in aluminum-intensive vehicles, you'll have to wait a bit, as deliveries will not begin until 2016.

Emergency Services Evacuate Shopping Centre After Light Plane Crashes Into Building
Police evacuated a Melbourne shopping mall after a light plane crashed into the building on February 21.
Emergency services were on the scene after the crash, which occurred just before 9 am. Victoria Police said they believed it was a "catastrophic engine failure" and the plane was a private charter flight. The crash site was at the back of the Direct Factory Outlet (DFO) in a furniture store. Police said they were unable to confirm any casualties after evacuating the area.
This video shows the plume of smoke billowing from the Direct Factory Outlet shopping centre and emergency services converging on the crash site, near Essendon Airport.
Essendon Airport, in Melbourne's north, serves mostly general aviation and cargo planes, with a handful of commercial passenger flights daily."

Prosecutors investigating the Plame Affair obtained through the White House an email from Karl Rove to White House intelligence official Stephen Hadley in which Rove recounted his conversation with Matt Cooper. According to this AP report that appears in the Washington Times, Rove's email, about which he was questioned before the grand jury, describes his conversation with Cooper in a way that is consistent with what we have already heard: Cooper called Rove and talked about welfare reform; he then started questioning Rove about whether the Niger story was huring the administration; whereupon Rove (refusing to "take the bait") suggested that Cooper would be well advised not to get Time too far out in front on the story. Rove's email to Hadley apparently does not mention Plame.

The Red Hat JBoss Integration Product Portfolio includes Camel which supports most of the Enterprise Integration Patterns from the Enterprise Integration Patterns Book. The patterns help integration architects and developers design and implement integration solutions more rapidly and reliably. I wanted to provide a sample application to show off the Enterprise Integration Patterns as well as provide the stencil to get you going on your first integration design.
"The core language of EAI, defined in the book Enterprise Integration Patterns by Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf, is also the core language of defining ESB flows and orchestrations, as seen in the ESB's developer tooling."
--Forrester Research
The EIP icons library is available as a Visio stencil file adapted to render the icons with the Camel color : sand. Download it here for your presentation, functional and technical analysis documents. The original EIP stencil is also available in OpenOffice 3.x Draw (thanks to Marco Garbelini) , Microsoft Visio, or Omnigraffle.
The example below is a quickstart for JBoss Fuse. This example will get you running quickly. We will show how to use this quickstart in Switchyard on Fuse Service Works in the future. Access the example code at https://github.com/kpeeples/fuse-eip-quickstart and in minutes run the application. The wire tap, splitter, recipient list and message filter enterprise integration patterns are shown in this example.

Galaxy S5 :: Water Damage Indicator - Where Is It LocatedAug 28, 2014

Is it possible for a phone to have water damage while the water damage indicator is inactive (white)View 2 Replies View Related
My phone has been acting really strange recently (multiple apps shutting down, long app loading time, extremely bad battery life-- almost 20% decrease with 2 hour use) So I visited apple store today and they told me that all of the symptoms were due to water damage of my phone.
And water damage was least of my suspections. Okay so my phone has been near water, but never in it. I take my phone to the shower sometimes for music and that's the closest my phone got to water. The apple store showed me how the supposed to be white sticker inside the charging jack turned red and they told me that my warranty is now void.
They also told me that I need to pay $200 if I want a replacement and that there is nothing they can do when I told them that this phone has never been in water or suffered water related accidents.
I asked them if there was only one water damage indicator in a iphone. The person told me that there were four, two on the outside and two in the inside. He opened up my phone and told me that only one water damage indicator (external one) but they only need one indicator to turn red to void my warranty.
When I repeatedly told him that I never had my iphone near water he told me that it only takes one drop of water to trigger the indicator and that it could be anything like a raindrop. I think this is absurd.
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1
Where is the Water damage indicator on a Nokia X6?View 6 Replies View Related
Does the C3-01 have water damage indicators? Vodaphone claim that mine has suffered water damage. It is less than a year old, has never been wet, dropped in water or used in the bath. The screen suddenly stopped working and when I took it in for repair it came back as water damage along with a photo, which I couldn't make sense of, showing the damage. I've got over a year to run on my contract and I'm paying for internet that I can't use. I've gone back to my previous phone, a 6303 which has spent the last few months sitting in a cupboard, and it works fine. I've had at least 6 Nokia phones over the last few years and have never had a problem. I live in the same house and have the same job, my lifestyle hasn't changed, yet the C3-01 has suffered water damage.
I'm really disappointed and I'd like know whether my faith in Nokia phones is misguided, I will certainly think long and hard about buying another. Is the newer technology (touchscreen) less robust and unable to cope with life?
A couple days ago, my BB Curve 8520 (which I've had a little over a year) died. I thought it was just the battery, so I plugged it in and it took longer than normal (at least 4 minutes) to load the black BB screen and it stayed stuck on the carrier logo (TMobile) screen. I thought maybe it was just taking longer for some reason, so I left it and came back to it a few hours later and it was STILL on the TMobile logo screen!!! I removed the battery and noticed that the water damage indicator is now a light blue color....I have NEVER heard of that marker turning blue.....what does this mean?? I called customer technical support and they could not answer my question because they say they've never heard of it.....c'mon, I cannot be the ONLY person in the world with TMobile who happens to have the only phone with a phone behaving this way and with a blue water damage indicator!View 1 Replies View Related
Where to buy HTC water damage indicator sticker replacement? I honestly don't know why I keep getting HTC's. 4 P4000's that all became bricks, 1 Diamond that broke within months, and now my new Touch Pro 2. The Diamond is known for having the water damage sticker in a place that it can be triggered by anything and they wouldn't fix it. 2 of my 4 P4000's had the sticker trigger for no reason as well.
Now I'm having problems (software mostly) with my TP2 and was about to bring it in. Sometime in the last week or so the water damage indicator turned bright red & now I know they won't even look at it. If there are ones inside I'm sure they will be fine as the phone wasn't actually near water.I've looked EVERYWHERE. There's water damage sticker replacements for all kinds of phones but not for HTC's.Does anyone know where I can find them? This particular strip/sticker is the rectangle one that starts as white with tiny crossed red lines. Even if someone knows if another company uses the same sticker I will get that!
Is there a water damage indicator inside this device?View 5 Replies View Related
My Samsung S2 has had water damage, and although replacing the USB port allowed me to be able to continue using the phone, the pictures coming out of the camera now have flared/blown-out highlights, as if a glowy/milky filter has been applied to them (see samples attached), regardless of shooting conditions. Needless to say, before this happened, pictures did not have such artefacts.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? My guess is that the inside of the lens got a bit soiled while the phone was opened for repairs. In this case, I'm wondering if it would be worth opening the phone up again and using a lens wiper to clean the lens. However, I've never opened the phone up beyond the battery cover, and looking at how-to videos such as this, it seems that a lot can be broken without due care.
So this morning I spilled a liquid on my blackberry tour. Just on the left side of my keyboard. Now none of my buttons work, except the trackball still rolls but does not click. I know for a water damaged phone I cannot get a replacement for free, but it did not touch water on the water damage stickers so the stickers are still white. Can I still get a replacement for free, or will the company some how know its water damaged in the front on the inside?View 5 Replies View Related

how do you fix a blackberry 9900 with water damage?View 9 Replies View Related
The other day I dropped my phone in the ocean, but was able to put it into a bag of rice and let it sit for 24 hours afterwards. It works fine now except for it won't charge. Yesterday I let it die and then plugged it in overnight. The next afternoon when I turned it on it was fully charged. I was hoping that that was the trick, but the next time I tried it wouldn't work. It isn't recognizing being plugged into a wall or my computer. It's a Japanese iPhone if that makes any difference... I've tried cleaning out the USB port on the phone, but that hasn't made any difference.�View 2 Replies View Related
Long time listener, first time caller. If anyone can help, y'all can.Small amount of water entered top of iPhone. Phone kept working, he plugged it in and charged it (car charger) - a few hours later went to take a photo and phone quit working. (After searching, I realize we should not have plugged it in.)
I had him put it in a bag of rice, and kept fingers crossed. No luck yet, but it's only been a day. I suggested leaving it sit and not trying to keep turning it on. I realize it may never come back, but the bigger problem is the texts and phone call history, which really we need to recover. I see from searching that it's not stored on the SIM card.The phone has not been synced or backed up w/iTunes recently. I'd love to have the phone back, but if it stays dead is there any way to recover that text/call data?

Well yesterday i have dropped my Blackberry 9900 in the pool. I then directly used the rice method and left it all night. In the morning i have noticed two red strips one on the battery and the other one in the inner side of the phone where i place the battery. I have been told by a friend that this is the water damage sign. After i noticed the dark pink redish strips i decided to switch it on to verify that everything is working, and yes everything was working fine including the buttons. However the signal was on SOS only!! i thought that the SIM got damaged so i used it with another phone and it worked with connection signal full bars!! but when i put it back into my blackberry the SOS sign appear again!View 1 Replies View Related
I have an old iPhone 3g that I have been letting my kid use as a touch since upgrading to the 4s. He dropped it in the toilet. I put it in rice and let it dry for a week. I was able to restore it using iTunes. It now will charge and iTunes does recognize that the iPhone is plugged in when I try to sync. However, it gives me an error message saying that something is either wrong with the phone or it is inactive, so it won't sync. I don't want to activate it, he just uses it for games and music. I have been using an old sim card to try to connect.
iPhone 3G
About 5 weeks ago, I got my iPhone 4s wet. It was not completely submerged in water and had a phone cover on it at the time.I put it in a bag of rice for about 3 weeks and it is now fully functional.The buttons, sound, camera, touch screen, etc... it works the way it did before. The only way the phone will turn on is if I connect it to the charger, but it will only stay on for a few mins before a red line appears across the screen and fades out then will power itself up again. If i leave it connected to the charger it will keep doing this over and over again.
iPhone 4S
Alright, went on a hike today, and even though I kept it (4S) in a plastic bag when not taking pictures, I have water damage. It won't respond to anything, and the flash near the camera is stuck on.

today listening to my iPhone at the beach, a huge wave clobbered me. I grabbed it from the water as quickly as I could find it and dried it off asap. I tried to turn it off to keep it from shorting out, but it won't. I have it in a ziploc baggy with 2 pouches of industrial size bags of silica, but every time I try to turn it off it looks like it is powering down and then restarts itself.

i recently had water damage to my iphone 4 but it wasnt completely submerged. I put it in a bag of uncooked rice for a while then plugged it in. My itunes recognized there was an iphone there and said it was in repair mode. strangely though, the iphone was not named and there was no seriel number like theyre usually is. in the middle of repairing my iphone back to factory mode, it seems that itunes couldnt recognzie my iphone anymore. it did get past extracting the software though.
i put it back in some rice, and now when i plug it in the apple icon keeps going on and off, like the phone is trying to start but cant. also, at one point it was telling me to plug my iphone into the usb even though it already was.

I dropped my phone in water yesterday and took it out.....it blinked for a few min and then turned black. I immediately placed it in rice and it stayed there for 16 hours. I can hear my phone, listen to songs but i cannot see the screen.
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1
Ok do recently my iPhone speakers haven't been working. They work when you call but when you wanna listen to music it doesn't work. I went to apple and the guy told me the water sensor was activated something like that...he didn't tell me what exactly was wrong with my phone, he told me I could buy a new iPhone for $149. I want to know for anybody who has drop there phone in water what was broken was it the audio jack or the speaker system??? Don't tell my to get to the apple store and ask them for the a new phone ive done it twice and they won't give a new phone because I don't have the apple care warranty. I want to know what exactly is broken so I can get it fixed for a better price.
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1
I dropped my E72 in Milk, turned it on after only cleaning the exterior, and it shorted out. Lesson learnt, I've cleaned it out etc. Don't bother lecturing me on this.At this stage, the phone will turn on, the Nokia title will come up, however the two hands will not play.It stays sitting at the Nokia title for about 5 seconds then it attempts to go to the main menu. Half of the main menu is visable, when the error message comes up saying "Not enough memory", and or "Phone cannot start, please contact retailer". Ok, so from this perspective, you would just judge this instantly and say the phone is stuffed. However I had many of important contacts, and notes in which I save frequently on this phone. I don't care if the phone will never work again, I just want to know if there is a way to survey what memory is available, and what is not. I want my contacts, I want my notes. Simple small bytes of memory, not megabytes.
I called up Nokia, and they dude was not extremely helpful, and kept refering to "Plugging it into the computer and using Ovi Sync". My computer does not recognise there is any devises plugged in when I plug in my E72 into the computer. Ovi sync will not have any better luck.I need someone else to do this for me, with detailed technical experience. Like maybe one of the guys at the Nokia warranty and repair warehouses. As title, my question remains, is it possible for the data to be retrieved? If so, great, I can order a new motherboard, and transfer the contacts/notes across, as all other components in my phone are fully functioning.
So when I was sleeping on the couch, my phone and a bottle of water were next to me on the ground. Somehow someway, I think I dropped the bottle of water and obviously water went in it.
Woke up this morning, phone doesn't turn on it, but it feels a bit wet. I open the cover, there was some water on the cover, took out the batter tiny bit of water too. Got a towel and dried it all out (wasn't alot). Not knowing that one shouldn�t turn it back on, I put the battery back in, nothing happens (red light doesn't go on). Turn it on, nothing. I know for a fact the battery didn't die out.
Googled around and found out that I wasn't suppose to turn it on, then read about the indicators, basically they have to be all white, which thank god they are, i.e. the one on top of the battery and the one stuck in the phone, where the battery is placed. Also read the rice and bowl trick, which I just did. So going to leave it for at least 12 hours or so and take it from there. question is I guess, is there any hope, or it's done, coz I put the battery back in and tried turning it on.
About 4 days ago I got some juice from a pint of blackberries onto my iPhone 3G. It worked alright after I cleaned it up, the next day it started giving me non-stop "this accessory is not made for iPhone" messages and now it has finally refused to charge when connected to a dock, usb or speaker. I've cleaned it with alcohol, poked around with a toothpick, etc to no avail. Any other suggestions (aside from replacing it or chucking it out the damn window)?View 4 Replies View Related
When I was in Canada, I dropped my iPhone 3GS in a water drain, and it essentially got drenched. After submerging it in rice for seven hours and letting it sit for three weeks, it works absolutely fine - albeit one small problem.
The backlight is completely non-functional. It won't react to anything at all, I've restored, everything.
Now, all that's left is asking you guys for help. HELP! How can I get my backlight to work again? Is it fixable?
Three weeks ago, I received a Bold 9000 which was accidentally placed in the washing machine (along with a blanket) a few days before. Before the phone was given to me, it was dried and in working order. Up until the past couple of days, I've been using the phone without any problems.Now, the phone does a horrible job with picking up my carrier's signal. When I'm indoors, I would get no reception at all ("No Service") when I would get reception using any other handset. When I'm outdoors, I would get either "No Service" or 1 bar of reception. Once in a blue moon, I will get full reception, but that does not last long. I've tried reinserting my SIM and turning the handset on and off, but nothing would fix the reception issue.The water damage sticker (visible after removing the battery) is red.Even though it was a gift (it was decided that the phone would be a gift BEFORE accidentally placing the phone in the washer), I'd still like to continue using my BlackBerry.View 3 Replies View Related
Can anyone tell me what the color of the the water damage detection sticker should be on the c510.Both undamaged and damaged.View 1 Replies View Related
My Moto V750 recently got wet and the only button that works is the power button, and I really want to check my 40 unread text messages. I've installed the computer drivers but apparently Bitpim does not support my phone yet. I tried P2K Commander but I can't figure out a way to view text messages with that program. Anyone have a solution?View 2 Replies View Related
My Iphone received water damage and after 2 days of not being used I finally plugged it into my computer and troubleshooted it. It troubleshooted and was working for maybe 15 minutes and then went dead again. since then when I plug it in only the apple icon appears for less then half a minute then its dead again.

I was fortunate to get a last minute place on Angela Daymond's Indigo Blues workshop at her Fenland Textile Studio near Spalding. Situated in old farm buildings at Unique Cottage Studios it was an inspiring place to be. Coincidentally, there was an exhibition of student work on during the afternoon and so we were joined by many people, some of whom sneaked a dip in the vat and were inspired to sign up for workshops.
Today I shall sort out and press all the pieces I dyed yesterday and then photograph them and share them with you in a separate post. In the meantime, have a look at Angela's website and her blog post about yesterday's workshop and make a note that her next Indigo workshop will be on 20th April 2013 - I'd book now if I were you.

The SANS Institute, realizing the critical nature of security risks to SSL/TLS, has added several requirements related to SSL/TLS management to Critical Security Control 17: Data Protection. From recent vulnerabilities like Heartbleed, Shellshock, POODLE, and FREAK to the Sony and CHS breaches and other APT attacks, like APT 1 and APT 18, enterprises can no longer blindly trust SSL/TLS certificates.
This growing lack of blind trust in SSL/TLS certificates stems largely from corporate security teams' failure to secure and manage their vast certificate and key populations properly. By following the new SANS 20 requirements for SSL/TLS certificate management, enterprises can regain trust in SSL/TSL and rely on it once again for secure communications, authentication, and authorization for applications, appliances, devices, and cloud services.

Markilux 770 tracfix and 870 tracfix
Remarkably small yet strong conservatory awnings for small glass areas both on the interior and the exterior.
It is there when it is needed and when you want to make the most of the sunshine it disappears inconspicuously into its cassette.
Round or square - the choice is yours.
The small inconspicuous cassette made of extruded aluminium is powder-coated and when retracted the awning cover is protected from atmospheric influences by the fully encompassing cassette. The awning cover is guided along lateral strong aluminium guide tracks. A special tensioning system using a combined elastic and kevlar belt provides ideal cover tension when the awning is fully extended.
The markilux 780/880 meets the requirements of wind resistance class 3 (Beaufort 6). The awning is available for areas up to about 12 m². Larger units are supplied with a cover support tube to limit the sag of the cover.
Choice of fabrics
Awning covers made from sunvas snc or sunsilk snc as well as the special fabric transolair, that allows you to look outside and enjoy pleasant shade at the same time.
The maximum width is 400 cm with a maximum drop of 250 cm. A maximum width of 325 cm is possible for a maximum drop of 400 cm.
The awning is fitted as standard with manual gearbox operation (a bevel gear and bayonet winding handle). A hard-wired or radio-controlled motor with markilux remote control operation can be fitted as optional accessory.

Bizarrely, the best colours photo I've been able to get of this yarn is when my hand is also in the picture forcing the light levels (or so I guess).
I'm close to the end of the "smooth" hexagons on this sock. It's shaping up to be a little baggy, however, I have (and I know this will shock you) followed the instructions pretty closely so far. Let's see how they go: these may have to end up being "indoor" socks or a second layer with big boots. I'm liking how the colours are matching up – or *not* matching up, actually. No unexpected colour boundaries here, folks.
Even though these are my shiny new thing to knit, I'm already anticipating severe second sock syndrome, to the extent that I'm considering starting sock 2 once I've finished the smooth hexagons here. It could either be a Really Smart Plan or a really stupid plan that leaves me dazed and confused and gibbering in the corner with abject confusion. Only time will tell. I'm deferring the decision until I've actually finished the smooth hexagons.
If there's one thing I'm good at, it's The Procrastination.
In other "even though these are my shiny new thing to knit" news, I've also cast on something else.
Can you tell what it is yet, kids?
An aside: we had a discussion in the office this morning about good festival acts we've seen. It's no longer fashionable to say so, but I really enjoyed Rolf Harris' performance when I saw him both at Guildford and at Glastonbury (although Glasto was hot & crazy-busy because everyone else had caught on by then). I also really liked his art. Clearly, I enjoyed these things not knowing how he was apparently behaving away from the public eye, but he was good at the stuff he did. It's a damn shame.
No, it's not the latest in chic gothic styled accessories… no wait… it kind-of is. Well, maybe not gothic on account of it's not black, but the photo above made me think of a bat so I find myself going down this path. Arguably the end result (I'm hoping) will be a bit more steampunk than Goth – this will be a dark grey kinda-fitted waistcoat. I've been meaning to make one for a while, so clearly now that winter is over and the warmer weather is on its way I'm casting this on in the hopes that it's completed SOMETIME IN JUNE. Because who *doesn't* want another layer of aran yarn hugging them during the hottest months of the year?
I had another I-enjoy-knitting moment on Sunday night with this project as well (regular viewers will remember that the pink & purple yarn above is in the process of being re-knitted). Having worked on it all through the day (well, off & on and mainly during a skype meeting) and getting a good 6-8 inches up from the beginning (further than I am now) I decided that it was shaping up to be a fitted waistcoat for someone who is larger than me, so decided to undo and do the "large" size rather than the "extra-large" size where the measurements matched the size I know my chest to be. I did (round of applause or HIGH FIVE required here) remember to check my gauge before frogging, and it was bang on. So, well done to me. This is the WI aran which is sold through the large nationwide hobby supplies shop we don't mention in front of artisan retailers in case it makes them come over all funny and I really like the way it's knitting up. I got 2 massive balls so will probably be able to make everyone accessories to match my waistcoat, plus an extra one in their 3 for 2 offer which means I also have some bright red yarn. I *was* thinking a sophisticated match of the two yarns but actually red is the school colour for Excel Emmanuel and Forrester schools who partner with Porridge and Rice so I may just go into hat-knitting overdrive and send them out in dribs & drabs. Because, as we now know, the crazy kids in Kenya wear woolly hats when English people are sweltering in a skimpy thong.
Something I Really Like
Taking a leaf from www.yarnsfromtheplain.co.uk's book (who I'm guessing copied it from somewhere else – I've heard other podcasters do something very similar) – HERE's a thing.
Background: I have a general intention to raise my wardrobe game a bit at work – wear shirts rather than t-shirts, not wear jeans so much, generally dress a bit less like a Software Developer and a bit more like a BA/Solutions Architect who could reasonably be expected to be pushed in front of clients. Basically, if I want to do more work alongside my boss who wears a suit to work every day, I want to look the part a bit more. However, I'm clearly not going to turn the dial straight up to 11 or I'll just get asked what time my interview is all the time.
At the beginning of last week I took a step I'd been meaning to take for a white and sent off for a blouse from Charles Tyrwhitt. Blouse arrives – is a plain white blouse as ordered. The fabric is smooth and lovely, the sleeves are long and luscious, it's generally pretty lovely. Except that when I've got it on, I can't put my shoulders back for fear of bursting out of it. It works, but it doesn't fit terribly well. Also, a button fell off in the first half hour of putting it on.
I've had a brief look at Pepperberry, but their stuff, in spite of being fashioned for the larger-booby lady, also doesn't feel like it fits super well. I may re-visit, I'm not sure.
I went shopping on Saturday to see what M&S had to offer – just in case they had something that wasn't a terrible fit and that I didn't have to get 3 sizes too big to accommodate the rack. My hopes, I have to say, weren't high. They have form in this area, after all.
It's fair to say that I made a discovery that made me SO HAPPY that I don't believe I've been THAT HAPPY in a store changing room since… possibly puberty. Not since I developed these lumps on my chest that make things NOT FIT in ALL THE PLACES. M&S have styled 2 extra buttons between the normal buttons, only facing inwards in an invisible fashion, and called them the "no peep placket".
Oh. My. Word.
In spite of the silly name, this is a goddamn REVELATION. No more gaping buttons for me. I may even get my sewing machine out and sew extra inside out buttons onto all my other blouses (er… when I get them) because, man alive this thing really works. Complete lack of gaping.
I could go on for a while, but suffice it now to end on I think this is a really very good idea, and I will be buying more blouses from M&S in the future. But probably not the mint green spotted one.

If you're hankering for a patio with a killer view, craft brews and smoky BBQ, head to Smoke 'N Hops in Dripping Springs to satisfy that craving. We loved it so much, we decided to make it our Featured Family Restaurant of the Week!
Editor, Jamie Jett, got so ridiculously full at Smoke 'N Hops on Saturday. Here are her thoughts about the experience…
Smoke 'N Hops was right off Hwy 290, about 20 minutes outside of town. The layout is open with a friendly bar in the back, stocked with TVs so you can watch your game. They have the NFL Ticket so you can catch just about any game of your choosing. We went on Saturday when the weather was primo and they had their garage doors open so the whole restaurant was exposed to the fresh air and the patio. We grabbed a table on the deck, that faces the playground and has an AMAZING view of the Hill Country to the left. (The view is not pictured… you'll just have to see it for yourself.)
We started off with some brisket queso and brisket jalapeno poppers because we're health nuts. We washed it down with an IPA that was brewed by the fine people of Smoke 'N Hops. All of this was delicious and satisfying Saturday grub. Queso was approved by the little man, who flew in from the playground every minute or so to grab a few bites.
For our entrees, I chose the pulled pork sandwich with a side of slaw, little man got nuggets and mac n' cheese (he's so unpredictable), and big dude got the sausage sandwich. We all ate all of it.
And then we got dessert…
… a caramel cheesecake dessert to be exact. It was YUM, despite the fact that dirty hands were all up in it.
The best part was the bill, which is weird to say. Hear me out. We had two appetizers, two craft beers, three entrees and a dessert – all for just under $50. That's pretty amazing. That, paired with the fact that the little man declared this playscape his favorite means that we will be going back.
They have a kid's show every Sunday from 1 – 3 pm with Mr. Tommy, a music teacher, who gets the kids rocking out and playing instruments on the playground. FUN!
They also have live music Wednesday – Saturday from 7 – 10 pm. Click here for the October schedule.
We have a $25 gift card to give one lucky person so you and your family can head out for a great dining experience.
This giveaway is now closed, thanks to everyone who entered!

Eagle eyed readers might note that I have amended slightly the first page of the reproduced judgement in the article below.
The addresses have been obscured.
I did this out of the goodness of my heart as poor Patsy Harrington was worried that he might suffer harassment of some sort. I am not sure who from – doubtlessly the potential list is long.
I wonder if he will apply to the 'bogies' in 'auld reekie' for a 500 metre total exclusion zone around his domicile to keep the badies away?
For some reason Patsy applied to the Employment Tribunal, as if they have an authority on what public document's I chose to put up on my blog.
Given his lack of understanding of the law it is no wonder poor Patsy isn't a very distinguished advocate.
But always the gentleman, I don't want Patsy to be a-fret – so the addresses have been obscured!
There, there, there!
All he had to do was ask in the right quarter.

THE CONCORD GREEN HOME is finally fully clad in its white Hardiplank fiber cement clapboard. With the exception of railings, the exterior trim is virtually finished as well. Even the wide, graceful porch stairs (to right of construction stairs) seem to beckon for a friendly visit as you stroll by.
The bright pink rigid insulation that cloaked the house for weeks is now hidden, but already performing well. The house is warm inside, even though the interior insulation has yet to be installed. The radiant heat will fire up this week to dry out any residual moisture from the October rains (and snows!) before interior insulation is applied. This will ensure that there is no potential for mold to develop within the walls.

Karri Paul
First Answer, 2007
oil on aluminum
66.5"h x 91"w
When I first walked into Karri Paul's studio, I knew that the images on the walls were paintings, but for some reason I had trouble placing exactly what the materials were. In 2007 she began making oil paintings on thin sheets of aluminum. The flexibility of the aluminum material allows her to cut, shape, and assemble her paintings as enormous collages. By painting on smaller sections nailed to the wall, she has developed dynamic, instinctive shapes that move far beyond the restrictions of traditional canvases. It is difficult to tell how deep the layers of paint are upon these surfaces, but many of these images are thin and expansive, oftentimes still allowing the metallic sheen of the aluminum surface to reflect light. This method of collaged pieces has created paintings that allow Paul to edit her arrangements in a raw, physical, and instinctual way.
Paul looks at landscapes as one source for her abstractions. Many of her current works share some of the qualities I am about to describe. Regardless of whether or not this was her intention, one image in particular struck me during her studio visit because it reminded me of how, on occasion, I deeply miss being immersed in the ocean. Remote Control (2007) brought me back to the experience of the vast and scary environment of coral reef snorkeling, an experience that is muffled, mysterious, and magical. The magic of water is its ability to mute sounds and create a distorted cacophony. I am still not sure what it is about these fractured compositions, but they remind me of my more intimate moments among reefs and ocean currents--those times when I feel most at peace, in a place that is symphonic and comforting.
Paul's reinterpretation of the natural world comes from a variety of sources, both direct and indirect. Her look at the media and television in her painting First Answer (2007) focuses on the culture of spectatorship. Unless you simply ignore all media it is impossible to not feel inundated by the spectatorship of magazines and periodicals as filters of the larger world around us. Filters like National Geographic remind and implore us to remember what the physical, natural world is like in both print and moving images. Even if you have never experienced the most remote of physical environments, the camera lens can bring it closer. Explorers and cameras go out into the field looking for places that still have resonance for creating a sense of wonder and amazement. I think one of the most powerful themes in Paul's work is her exploration and recreation of landscapes that evoke a sense of mystery and awe in response to the natural world.
Paul's instinctual response to the physical environment comes through in these works. As visual poetry, these pieces communicate the experience of the natural world and the role the media plays in remembering and appreciating the environment at hand. Paul addresses spaces ranging from canyons, springs, rivers, and other natural phenomenon. Her paintings engage the natural environment and then reassemble it physically and intuitively.

(1) Ahh, yes I see. One possibility I see from the photo would be to push a small rigid tube just under the concrete and use that to route a pair of wires to the skimmer. You might even be able to push through a direct burial cable without a conduit. Then use an angle float glued to the inside of the skimmer. Just out of curiosity, above and to the left of the skimmer, is that an access cover to something? The other possibility is to use something wireless attached to the dog? Actually, you might be able to use something like a wireless door detector (Z-Wave) in a well sealed box inside the skimmer- maybe glued under the cover, and do the same with the switch.
(2) I am using a Phidget InterfaceKit digital input. But, anything capable of detecting an open/close state would work. Say, I/O-Linc, Z-wave receiver, etc.

Average Concrete Driveway Cost
Estimating the concrete driveway cost is an important step during the construction of a new driveway. This is because if you do not know how much the project will cost you, you won't be able to get the right kind of resources. So make sure you make a budget plan and get the expenses all charted out. This will help you to work in a methodical and systematic manner and will also help you in sticking to the time frame. So make sure you draw up a budget plan before you start working. It will not take a very long time and you will also find it interesting to do. Take a look at the tips and ideas mentioned below and your job will become simpler.
How to calculate the concrete driveway cost
Ask your friends – The best way to get an idea about the costs is to speak to a friend who has recently completed a concrete driveway project. Ask him about the details regarding the cost of the materials, the labor cost, etc. This will give you a very good, first hand idea about the amount of money that you will have to spend on getting the driveway cemented. Also ask your friends how he went about the job and how long it took him to complete the project. Write it all down and it will help you immensely.
Take an estimate from an architect – If you want a more precise idea, then you can take an estimate from an architect. The architect will come and visit your home and measure the driveway. He or she can give you various options and provide you with more than one budget plan. This will help you to understand your own requirements better and you will get a comprehensive idea about the concrete driveway cost.
Look online – You can also look online to get an idea about the concrete driveway construction expenses. You can read blogs and forum posts and see what others are saying. You can also look at the prices of the materials you will need for the job, add them all up and see what the costs amount to. You can also visit online stores and see what packages they have on offer. Therefore, checking online will surely help you a lot.
Visit a store and look at products – Last, but not the least, you can visit a local store and check out the materials. For example, you will need cement, sand, tools, etc. Check the price of each material and then put it all together. And this will surely help you to get a better understanding of the concrete driveway expenses.
The importance of knowing the concrete driveway cost
You may be wondering as to why it is important to know the cost. First and foremost, it is important because all of us have limited resources and unless we know how much a project will cost beforehand, we cannot assure ourselves of staying within our budget. So get a budget plan done and you won't end up over spending.
A concrete driveway is a beautiful thing to have in any house. It is also a very useful and durable thing as concrete does not get damaged very easily. So once you concrete the driveway, you can rest assured for many years and not worry about getting it renovated. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and get the driveway cemented. Know about the concrete driveway cost beforehand as that will make the job a lot more simpler and hassle free for you.

Grey Reverend Returns
With more music being made than ever before, it's often the simple things which stand out. No one will ever craft an entirely new chord sequence, but sometimes the familiar can still be striking.
Brooklyn's own LD Brown seems to have taken this to heart, with his songwriting focussing on simple, unfussy and yet oddly moving elements. Bumping into Jason Swinscoe at a local coffee shop, the then-unknown songsmith was invited on the road with The Cinematic Orchestra.
Becoming a close collaborator, LD Brown began using the name Grey Reverend. A debut album followed, released on Swinscoe's Motion Audio imprint, before LD Brown opted to take a back seat.
Well, now he's back. New album 'A Hero's Lie' will be released later this year, with Motion Audio once again providing the songwriter with safe harbour. Newly announced single 'Everlasting' is a powerful return, part of a four track document which demonstrates the breadth of Grey Reverend's songwriting.
Little Discourses
Fort Greene's innovative singer-songwriter Grey Reverend and the beauty of quiet songs
Author: Alan Semerdjian | Published: Monday, May 21, 2012
Words: Alan Semerdjian | Photos: Kenny Janosick
"Fingerpicking is a tightrope walk," he tells me, and my mind conjures an image of daredevil appendages dancing across a line high above the circus crowd. Then I think about Philippe Petit, master tightrope walker and subject of the Academy Award-winning documentary Man on Wire, who, on August 7, 1974, secured a wire across the tops of the Twin Towers one summer morning and played his mischievous and brilliant heart out. On what it means to be an aerialist, Petit once said, "To refuse to tape yourself to the rules, to refuse your own success, to refuse to repeat yourself, to see every day, every year, every idea as a true challenge, then you will live life on the tightrope."
This refusal to adhere to convention is at the core of what it means to be an artist no matter genre or discipline. I'm speaking with Grey Reverend today, and he knows a little something about challenges. Grey Reverend is the stage name for musician and songwriter Larry Brown. Some time long before the release of his first solo full-length album Of the Days (Motion Audio/Ninja Tune, 2011), Brown was diagnosed with a neurological condition called focal dystonia. This caused him to lose the ability to effectively use two of the fingers (the pinky and ring finger, specifically) on his left hand—a seismic game changer in the life of a working jazz and blues musician. Ultimately, Brown adapted by embracing an innovative fingering technique (aided in part because of a very large and dexterous thumb) and looking toward the folk tradition to help him make sense of the hand he was dealt (no pun intended). Thus, Grey Reverend was born. After he moved to Brooklyn's glorious and verdant Fort Greene from Philadelphia to spend more time with his sister, he put together a sublimely intimate and stunningly evocative collection of quiet songs recorded in his apartment, which got a lot of attention. An extensive touring history in Europe and beyond with the likes of label mates The Cinematic Orchestra and others followed, as did a feature on NPR's All Things Considered ("incredible…lovely to listen to") and a song on NBC's award-winning program Parenthood. Grey Reverend may be the best singer-songwriter you've never heard of…until now.
Our time together this afternoon feels more like a study of the folk tradition in a hip and smart, yet unpretentious university class than an interview for a magazine. He cites the essentials. There was the "English thing," he says, and we discuss Richard Thompson, John Martyn and Nick Drake. Before that, we mention Guthrie and then Dylan, of course. Brown likes the Brazilians. "Bola Sete's playing is probably one of my biggest influences," he says, and proceeds to also reference Gilberto Gil. We hover in the mid-twentieth century, revel at Joni Mitchell for a moment and Neil Young the next and then move into the death of acoustic music in the 90s—though it was an important time for the evolution of hip-hop. By the time we reach contemporaries like Sufjan Stevens ("He's kind of got it all."), Iron and Wine and José Gonzalez, I realize that he's giving me some important context for what he makes. "We're into this sensitive kind of hipster thing," he says, "and there's something about introspection that's necessary now." When I ask why he thinks this is so, he replies, "There's a move inwards. People moved away from the convivial since…maybe…9/11. There's a need to return to simple music."
The irony, of course, is that Grey Reverend's music is hardly simple. The sound, and perhaps in some cases the sentiment, may be simple but the playing and the delivery and the precision required to pull it all off requires a lot of skill and hours and hours of intense practice, which Brown certainly endured in the early days playing jazz. Of the Days is a stark and bare record filled only with Brown's unique fingerpicking stylings and leathery baritone. Sounds and melodies meddle in familiar territory, but the chord progressions underneath and the subtle sophistication of the rhythms that drive the music are far from typical. This is exceptional music in the truest sense of the word. Exceptional, honest, complex and true.
Grey Reverend's songs are "little discourses" into the nature of things. They sometimes read more like poems than narratives. On this topic, Brown says, "I rarely write a song with an intention on meaning," which is something a New York School language poet might say, but don't fear. While the album has its share of abstraction, there's enough purely constructed pop songwriting (dressed in gray weather) to go around.
Grey Reverend's music is not so much filled with love songs as it is filled with songs about the idea of love, the predicaments in which we find ourselves and the images that speak to or somehow parallel those predicaments. Take, for instance, the lovely "Road Less Traveled," which states it quite bluntly: "It isn't worth it keeping love so close/ revolving doors could make us wise/the planet Earth evolves until she explodes/and everybody dies." And then the poignant "Box," which hits it on the head so well that it's worth sharing the whole thing right here:
some days seem to go so fast
getting lost in your photograph
taken just before we said goodbye
but I saved all that we could be
in a box made of memories
some say that it's not good for me
it doesn't matter where I go
up above or down below
no one knows the troubles I have seen
I don't mind how you feel today
'cause in time we all get thrown away
when it seems an expiration date is on our love
so don't ask me why it takes so long
sometimes I see it when it's gone
and some times are made for holding on
you could say it's mystery
but everything is so clear to me
when I look inside that box
it's to remind me
By the time we're done talking about it, I'm wondering what the "box" might be twenty years from now. Maybe a photo album on Facebook or an archive on a Tumblr page or whatever else comes next. The need to look back will never subside. And that's the thing about Grey Reverend's work. It's timeless. "I'm interested in making music that defies distortion," he says, and by that I believe he means making something so true that it will be true for a long time. And lest you think that Of the Days is all about heart-shaped memories, there are also calls to activism ("One By One") and even a semi-cryptic meditation on Barack Obama's inauguration, "Altruistic Holiday," a personal favorite. There's so much poetic stuff and craft going on in these lyrics that it prompts me to ask him if he actually reads the genre. "Not really," he says, "I read a lot of prose…biographies of Thelonious Monk…things like that."
It is safe to say that Grey Reverend is sort of "big in Europe." That phrase often elicits a smirk or a raised eyebrow, but in this case it's true. His label is there. He tours there all the time. But he lives right here in New York City. This begs the question: What's the deal with America? "I'm kind of a diva," Brown says on the topic. "I get discouraged easily…it takes a lot for me to do it." And by it, he means playing his brand of engaging and perceptive music in environments that support it and embrace it. He talks about the difference in audiences across the pond and the role of music in people's lives. He's not averse to shows in America, but they just don't happen that often and aren't that practical. It makes more sense—financially and artistically—to play Europe in rooms of hundreds and sometimes thousands of people in which "you can hear a pin drop." And, you know, for a tightrope walker, environment is everything.
Cultural difference between continents? Too much competing for our attention here? Who knows why some of us haven't heard of Grey Reverend yet. Good thing for us we can find his music just about anywhere on the web. His is a healing kind of balm made of the timeless shine that has lit up humanity's ears and minds since the first note was sung and the first string plucked.
Ssssh. Quiet in the back. This is going to be good.

Review in Stereoboard July 14, 2011 for Of the Days LP by Lee Johnston
GREY REVEREND – OF THE DAYS (MOTION AUDIO) - There are certain voices that instantly transform the aural landscape into something coloured with melancholy, but still make that location seem like the best place in the world to be. Grey Reverend, aka Larry D Brown, has one of those voices.
Review By Don Sinnamon, Brisbane Street Press UK:
This is Brooklynite L.D. Brown telling his guitar stories about his life, quietly, soulfully and beautifully.
Interview with JusLIkeMusic
Grey Reverend - Walk The Same by motionaudio
Jus Like Music are very pleased to be able to bring you an upfront exclusive from American singer/songwriter Grey Reverend. A recent signing to Jason Swinscoe's (Cinematic Orchestra) Motion Audio Records label – also home to Lou Rhodes – Grey Reverend's new album, Of The Days, is set to drop on 11th July.
A precursor to the album will be the lead single, One By One, available on 9th May, but today we have another track from the album to share with you. The track is called Walk The Same and you can download it for FREE courtesy of Jus Like Music and Motion Audio Records!
We also had an opportunity to grab a few words with Grey Reverend, about music, the creative process and the new album…
Jus Like Music: In your own words, who are you and where are you from?
Grey Reverend: I am L.D. Brown, the sole member of Grey Reverend, and I am from Pennsylvania, U.S.JLM: How did you come to link up with Jason Swinscoe and the Cinematic Orchestra crew?
GR: I met Jay in Brooklyn in 2006, and I think that we were both in a vulnerable musical growth moment. We just seemed to connect on a lot of ideas about writing and creating music.JLM: And what would you say it is that drives you to create music?
GR: Relationships, other musicians, boredom, I guess I don't really know the answer to that.JLM: So, if you weren't creating music, what do you think you would be doing instead?
GR: Not creating music.JLM: Do you have a set method or system when it comes to creating something new, or is the process a bit more random?
GR: I try not to limit myself too much when it comes to creating, so I've never come up with a method. I wouldn't say that it's random though, as that makes it seem like songs are just flukes or luck or fated etc. I don't really know where most songs I write come from, to be honest. Sometimes I listen to a song I wrote years ago, and don't understand why or how I wrote it. Maybe I'm possessed.JLM: Maybe! With regards to your creative processes, and also the style of music which you make, are there any artists who inspire you specifically or that you have looked to emulate in some way?
GR: When I first began to write songs for guitar and voice I was really into Elliott Smith. I admired his use of metaphor in his lyrics, and the way his chord progressions juxtaposed the despair of his voice and words. I learned a lot from listening to loads of artists. Cynthia Mason was a songwriter who I worked with for years, and she had a wicked ability to write such smart and unique songs, yet they were not above your head and you could still enjoy them. I can't say I've ever tried to intentionally emulate anyone, though you can't avoid comparisons. Folks need to attach everything to something, it seems.JLM: How would you, personally, describe your new album?
GR: This album is about as exposed as I can be artistically. It was recorded over a three-day period in my apartment and there are very few tricks to it. By that, I guess I'm saying that it is a collection of ten songs that have nothing to do with each other, save the fact that I wrote them. A lot of people seem to put out records that have heavy production and arrangement on them, and when you break the songs down they're actually quite similar in structure. I guess it's a different approach to pragmatism, but it's quite transparent to my ears and it makes me feel cheated. I felt that it would be more challenging to not recycle anything musically, so that the album could exist in earnest. Oh, and it's kinda mellow, and depressing at times. Which is cool, right?JLM: Right. And what do you hope to achieve with your music?
GR: I would hope that the people who listen to it can understand that I am trying to write songs with a very acute sense of sincerity, meaning I would never like to be categorised or used as a subjective artist.JLM: So, what are your plans for the future then?
GR: To grow old gracefully! To keep writing and learning about music and other people's music through traveling and general interaction, and to someday release the hundreds of songs I've written over the years.JLM: Well, thank you for your time. In closing, do you have any tips on other music that our readers should check out?
GR: As far as 'new' music that I'm hearing these days, I like the direction things are headed in. I'm really into the writng that The Bowerbirds are doing, Grizzly Bear, Sufjan, as well as Bon Iver. All of their members are super talented. I like James Blake's LP. That being said, I'm a bit out of the loop with contemporary stuff.
Grey Reverend's single, One By One, is out 9th May and the new album, Of The Days, is out 11th July. Remember where you heard about it first!

Sainte Catherine d'Alexandrie
Prints and Drawings
16th century
This work is a preparatory drawing for the painting on wood now kept in the National Gallery,London. It is one of Raphael's most finished drawings. It corresponds to a period of change in his artistic development, between the completion of the Baglioni altarpiece (Louvre, Department of Prints and Drawings, inv3865), which still belongs to the "Florentine" period, and the start of his work on the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican.
An exceptional drawing with hidden variants
The exceptional state of preservation of the cartoon, together with its size and the pricks for transfer, make the work unique. Its relatively large size, rare in Raphael's drawings, and its preparation for transfer have led certain art historians to consider this drawing as the final version, used for the transfer onto the wood panel of the Saint Catherine of Alexandria in London. Detailed comparisons have revealed differences in the two works, however, including the right side of the nape and neck, the clothing, the perspective of the face, and the foreshortening of the figure.
Chiaroscuro and the twisted pose
Saint Catherine is depicted standing, leaning on the wheel, the attribute of her martyrdom. Her arms and clothing are drawn with long, curving lines, producing a sinuous movement in the figure. Her tilted head is turned to the left, while her body, in a slightly twisted pose, is shown from the front. The background landscape in the painting is absent in the drawing. The artist appears to have focused on the intensity of expression of both suffering and asceticism on the face, characterized by the chiaroscuro effects. The attitude of pain is softened by the elegant rendering of the drapery, which swirls in a spiral around the figure.
Thirty-seven years of masterpieces
The complexity of influences visible in the drawing has prevented scholars from dating it precisely. It would have been executed between 1505 and 1511 and corresponds to an important phase in the stylistic development of Raphael, who was highly productive and sensitive to changes in taste. The Saint Catherine reflects the extensive knowledge of this short-lived genius who, at the age of twenty-five, had already been commissioned to execute the Vatican frescoes. The Louvre cartoon was likely produced while he was preparing his execution of the Baglioni altarpiece, signed and dated 1507 (Rome, Galleria di Villa Borghese and the Vatican Pinacoteca); a parallel has also been established with the Medici Venus, a preparatory study for his Disputa in the Stanza della Segnatura (c. 1509-11) in the Vatican. This cartoon thus illustrates the "Roman" culmination of the artistic research Raphael had begun in Florence. This can be seen in the modeling of the figure, an interpretation of the Greco-Roman style, which Raphael explored on his arrival in Rome. The cartoon's importance has not been overshadowed by the masterpieces to which it is connected: its fame was such that from 1811 to the late 19th century it was regularly exhibited in the Louvre.

Veteran's Hotline: New travel pay rules
Starting March 1, travel pay will be paid to your bank account on a direct deposit basis. The money will go into the same account as your compensation or pension pay. The procedure is as follows:
The veteran completes the appointment, then goes to the travel clerk who processes the claim and confirms eligibility. The paperwork is then printed in the cashier cage. The cashier then inputs the information for the EFT (electronic fund transfer).
The process is different if the veteran goes in after hours or on an emergency basis. The hospital staff will assist the veteran if this is the case.
If you have an off-site appointment (St. Mary's Hospital, Grey Eye Care, etc.) you need to have the paperwork completed before the appointment.
If you are not sure of the hospital having your account information, come to my office a pick up an SF 3881, fill it out and turn in to travel clerk when you get to the hospital in Grand Junction. This will eliminate any delay in getting travel money deposited in your bank account.
The Grand Junction Medical Center (VAMC) has received an anonymous donation of $375,000 in trust for veterans seen at the facility.
Grand Junction is one of a handful of medical centers across the nation to receive similar donations.
"Based on our conversations with the Grant Foundation sending us the award, staff dedication, integrity and honesty were important factors in the decision to give us this money," said Terry Atienza, the medical center's director.
The medical center is honored by the generous action, Atienza said, and will ensure every dollar is spent within the donor's conditions.
The donor routed the money through the Chicago Community Foundation's Northern Trust Charitable Giving Program to ensure anonymity.
There's a new raffle for veterans:
• First place — $500 Cabela's card
• Second place — $250 City Market card
• Third place — $250 Safeway card
• Fourth place — $250 Walmart card
Tickets are $5 each or five for $20. Tickets are available at my office or from any American Legion member. The drawing will be held at 8:30 p.m. March 23 during American Legion bingo at the Elks Lodge, 43 W. Victory Way. You need not to be present to win.
Finally, a reminder about two upcoming meetings. The first is a VFW meeting at 7 p.m. Monday at 419 E. Victory Way. The second is an American Legion meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday at 1055 County Road 7.
Craig police investigate multiple theft calls: On the Record — May 20
10:05 a.m. On the 2000 block of West Victory Way, police in Craig responded to a road rage call. Craig police said a caller reported a driver with a child in the backseat was driving erratically. When
