I don't know how to tell people how I feel.
I don't know what it is. My conversations with anyone are inevitably superficial
For example, I recently moved cross-country for a job and I was just feeling lonely and stressed today, but I couldn't really explain it to my boyfriend, who lives in another state. I don't get it, it's like I just can't find the words. So our conversations are stilted and superficial like I said before.
I've always been like this, unable to relate to people the way I should, which means I invariably end up alone.

1. You just told us how you really feel
I know it might be harder in person, but you have just proven that you really know how to express yourself. There's some kind of barrier that prevents you from doing it otherwise, though. What do you think prevents you of telling people how you really feel?

2. I've been trying figure this out for years.
I have no ready answer, except that fear of rejection or ridicule is at the heart of it. It's almost like it's better to keep people at arm's length is better in case they reject me. When they then reject me because I keep them at arm's length. Kind of a Catch-22 I guess.

6. Maybe fear of being vulnerable?
Because if you make yourself vulnerable that's when you open yourself up to being hurt the most. Maybe you've been hurt really badly in the past when you opened up like that. I'm kind of guessing.

3. Maybe it just takes practice.
It isn't easy to identify your feelings at times, it all gets wrapped up together like a pot of spaghetti, and it's hard to pull out the individual strands.
Just being able to articulate the problem is the first step, you have identified what is making you uncomfortable or unhappy. Now you just need to find the right approach to resolving it.
Posting and chatting online about your feelings in a protected forum might help you. DU has one. There are others out there.

4. Yes it does take practice.
I am actually pretty terrible on the phone. We use Skype, which helps some. It's easier when we can see each other.
All my anxieties, about money, about relationships, about whatever, just feed on each other until I can hardly think of anything else.
I had a therapist tell one time that I should set aside a time of day to worry and get it all out. I told her, "Yeah I do, usually between 3-6 in the morning." I'm pretty sure that wasn't what she meant.

5. A woman who doesn't talk about her feelings is every man's dream....
Seriously, you're growing just by writing this post.
For what it's worth, I am worse than awful on the phone. Anything that requires more than a "yes" or "no" answer and I'm useless.
Don't beat yourself up. There's plenty of others willing to do that for you.

7. Have you ever kept a journal? It's a good way to start putting your feelings into words
and practice doing it in a way where you can gain some confidence in saying what you feel.

8. I'm on the other end of that problem
There's a girl being just that way toward me and I can't tell if she's just trying to slowly push me out of her life or if she's too repressed to have a conversation of any depth. She says I mean a lot to hear but when it comes to walking the walk she seems detirmined to keep me at arms length: no closer, no farther.
Funny thing is ( and I think literally funny ) is a couple of times she called me after taking Ambien before she went to bed: As it took effect we began having the most sparkling conversations then, and she was making all manner of overtures toward me. Well, if that's what it takes to get the ball rolling....

9. For me it's usually wine, rather than Ambien
But the effect is the same. It not a good idea to rely on things like that, I suppose.
I would be as patient as you can be.

11. This is a great thing for therapy to help. I mean it.
Therapy isn't just for deep depression or mental illness. It also really, really helps people to understand why they do things that cause them problems and to change them. A good therapist is, above all, a talented and curious and caring listener, and can help you to open up, to think in new ways about yourself and your feelings, and to create relationships that help you feel connected and to grow.
(I know; I am one and I do this with people all the time. It can realy be life changing.)

12. I've tried it. Didn't care for it.
Didn't seem to work either, as far as I could tell. Bear in mind that I was limited to the 10 or so visits allowed by insurance.

Earlier today I told you the crazy patterns and designs are a huge hit for spring. Some are really stunning, some are quirky but cool, and some are downright fugly! The overwhelming opinion on the Jimmy Choo Face Canvas Bag is that it is a huge miss and totally creepy. That makes me certain many of you will hate the Valentino Rosette Tote also, with its plastered fuchsia rosettes. I am all for playing with some leather to make it bunch to look like a rose, in ONE place on the bag. But this fug bag is all about the roses, and it makes me think the bees will live in your bag and build hives. Not only will you need to keep the cute hummingbirds away, but go grab some hive killer! This bag is killer. The black patent leather trim and gold-tone hardware only make it look older and more Driving Miss Daisy mixed with Red Hat Society. It is just hideous from every angle and for each aspect. So far my take on many of the crazy themed/faced/designed/printed bags for the next season are totally drab. I am waiting for one to catch my attention. Pre-order through Saks for $1,950.

Facebook posted strong growth in its mobile advertising business on Wednesday but rattled investors after saying that it did not plan to boost the frequency of ads shown to users.
Shares of the world's No. 1 online social network soared as much as 15 per cent in extended trading before suddenly falling to $US47.40, down 3 per cent from its $US49.10 closing price
Revenue from mobile ads, which appear on smartphones, represented 49 per cent of Facebook's total advertising revenue in the third quarter, or about $US880 million ($924 million). Mobile ads generated about $US150 million in the year-ago period, when Facebook was just beginning to develop its mobile ad business.
"It looks like they're firing on all cylinders," said JMP Securities analyst Ronald Josey.
He said Facebook's strong mobile advertising revenue in particular has put to rest the worries that many investors had at the time of the company's 2012 IPO.
"They clearly have the product, they have the traffic and now they have the advertising solution," said Mr Josey.
Facebook said the number of its monthly active users increased to 1.19 billion as of the end of September, up from 1.15 billion at the end of June. Facebook said it counts about 507 million daily active mobile users.
Total revenue in the third quarter was $US2.016 billion, ahead of the average analyst expectation of $US1.911 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.
Facebook said it earned net income of $US425 million, or 17¢ a share, in the three months ended September 30, compared with a net loss of $US59 million, or 2¢ a share in the year-ago period.

The Wrigley Mystique
A good reminder that when the Ricketts start talking about renovating Wrigley Field, there is probably one or two right ways to do it and a thousand wrong ways:
When Sam Zell floated a plan for the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority to buy Wrigley Field in a transaction separate from the Cubs, the talk was that the grandstand would basically be stripped down to the girders, with new seating and luxury boxes installed. That ambitious plan carried a price tag of $650 million and would force the Cubs to play at least one season at U.S. Cellular Field . . .
. . . But what the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority is proposing threatens to wipe out the Wrigley Field mystique with a much more commercialized venue. First, the authority would sell naming rights. Second, the authority would install more advertising in the ballpark. Really, there are few places where you could put more advertising (though we would not be surprised if they had planned to remove some of the iconic ivy), and it's not as though Wrigley is a sponsor-free zone as it is. The suites would be expanded, probably way out of proportion to the rest of the aggressively egalitarian ballpark. Finally, the authority would sell seat licenses to the 1,200 most desirable locations in the ballpark under a plan that's already been rejected by Major League Baseball.
Luckily, it doesn't sound like the Ricketts have any interest in such an aggressive overhaul of Wrigley Field. Or, if they do, they've not shared those plans with anyone else, including local elected officials.
There are obvious things to avoid in any renovation — see what they did to Soldier Field as an example — but there are probably a million different ways to screw things up. So while Cubs fans should welcome the Ricketts family and be encouraged about their professed love for Wrigley Field, any and all plans should be scrutinized and feet held to the fire in order to ensure that, in the process of upgrading the old place, the wonderful things about Wrigley remain wonderful.

Used to spend many a Friday afternoon (at 3PM) at Wrigley and certainly saw no need for improvement. After all, they can't put a parking garage over it (can they). Wonder if they still have the guys who keep your (16 oz) Old Styles full after the first round with a $10 tip?

Obituary of Nelson Mixon (1819-1893)
(from an unknown newspaper)
MIXON.- Nelson Mixon was born in Monroe county, Ala., April 24, 1819, and departed this life at Commerce, Conecuh county, Ala., November 6, 1893. He professed religion and joined the church in 1832. In December, 1841, he was married to Elizabeth McCall in Conecuh county, Ala., who still lives to mourn her sad loss, and also nine living children. He loved the church and her ordinances, and served her faithfully for thirty years in the capacity of steward and class leader. In 1890 he was licensed to exhort, but soon after his health failed and he was not able to do much. He was an invalid for six years, and was a great sufferer from asthma. At intervals he would grow better, and then he would go out among his neighbors and hold prayer meetings and exhort sinners to Christ, and doubtless accomplished much good. He manifested a deep interest in the salvation of his dear children, and would often talk to the writer about them, and request prayer for them, and would often say, "I believe God will answer my prayers and save my children." He was a man of faith -- he was a great believer in the doctrine and polity of the Methodist church, and adhered to the old primiotive style of Methodism. He was ever ready to hold up the hands of his preacher, and his door was always open for the poor weary itinerant. His hospitalities and warm sympathy, without stint, made no pretentions to display; he was plain in all his ways. He was somewhat eccentric in his nature, and would appear uncouth sometimes with his most intimate friends, and would speak harshly and unadvisedly, but his general tenor of life would always point in the right direction.
We had no stronger advocate for prohibition in our church. He was the first man to head a petition and circulate it in Conecuh county in favor of local prohibition. He was a man of great energy, perseverance and courage in anything he undertook. Hence the church to which he belonged will feel her sad loss. May the Lord bless and sanctify this sad providence to the good of the church and the society to which he belonged. May God grant, in his own good time, the answer to his many prayers in behalf of his children and family. may they all be saved in heaven.

They say that all good things must come to an end, and Willow Glen High School is experiencing the end of an era.
Peggy Booth, the athletic director for the Rams for the past 12 years and a teacher in the San Jose Unified School District for 38 years, has decided to retire.
Booth leaves the school in the capable hands of Eric Ostrowski, who leaves his post as the Del Mar athletic director to take on a similar role for the Rams. Ostrowski is a graduate of Willow Glen High.
Booth has a long history with Willow Glen, having been a Ram herself. She married her high school sweetheart Rick Booth–a talented multi-sport athlete for the Rams–and sent two children through Willow Glen, Steven and Erin.
She is moving on to spend more time with her two grandsons and to be able to do some traveling.
Booth comes from an extremely athletic family, with a mother and sisters who played softball and a father who played semi-professional baseball. Her son, Steven, was a baseball and volleyball player at Willow Glen who then went on to West Valley College and earned a scholarship to play at USF. He was drafted as a catcher by the Cincinnati Reds.
Her daughter, Erin, played field hockey and softball for the Rams and continued to play field hockey at UC-Berkeley for four years, following in the athletic footsteps of her talented mother.
Peggy Booth had played several sports while a student at Willow Glen, indicating her favorite was field hockey. She played the sport at San Jose State University before moving on to coach field hockey for many years at Willow Glen. In all, she coached the Rams for 20 years, leading teams in volleyball and track and field as well as field hockey. She was selected as the Central Coast Section Fall Honor Coach in field hockey in 2001.
Coaches honored
Five area high school coaches received awards from the California Coaches Association at a ceremony and banquet June 14 in Sacramento.
Archbishop Mitty baseball coach Bill Hutton headed the list of local honorees, as one of three new CCA Hall of Fame selections.
Mike Janda, who has been Bellarmine College Preparatory's head varsity football coach for 30 years, was chosen State Football Coach of the Year.
Janda, who also teaches chemistry at the school, was honored last year as a California Interscholastic Federation Model Coach Award winner.
Among the Northern California Coach-of-the-Year recipients were Monta Vista's Gene Fortino (girls tennis), Mitty's Justina Williams (field hockey) and St. Francis baseball coach Mike Oakland.
Blach at UCSB
Michael Blach, a water polo standout at Bellarmine College Prep, accepted an athletic scholarship to play for UC-Santa Barbara next fall.
A talented left-handed shooter, the 6-foot-3 Blach helped the Bells win Central Coast Section Division I championships in each of the past three seasons. For the past two years, Blach was one of the Bells' leaders in goals and assists and was chosen each season as a member of the all-CCS first team.
Blach, a Willow Glen resident, was a student at St. Christopher School prior to his years at Bellarmine.
Jr. Shark at Bentley
Chris Buchanan, a Leland High graduate and a former Junior Sharks talent, committed to play NCAA Division I ice hockey at Bentley University in Waltham, Mass.
Buchanan started playing hockey as a Mini-Mite in the Junior Sharks House League, continued with the sport and ultimately helped the Jr. Sharks' 18AAA team win a state championship in 2010-11.
After playing one season of junior hockey with the Alaska Avalanche of the North American Hockey League, Buchanan competed the past two seasons in North Dakota with the Fargo Force of the United States Hockey League. He was an assistant captain for the team in the 2013-14 season that ended in April.

PHILADELPHIA (Jul. 24)
When King Hussein and Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin meet publicly in Washington on Monday, Israel and Jordan will bring into the open a history of private summitry that dates back to the days before Israel and Jordan became states.
The record of more than two dozen Israeli-Jordanian secret summits in the last 30 years alone reflects a remarkable saga of diplomatic sobriety within a tempest of violence, of personal civility amid general hatred, of common interests overcoming the pull of public rhetoric.
Was Israeli-Jordanian private summitry able to prevent wars and bring peace? No. But it did establish a limit to enmity. It also built sufficient private confidence that one day conditions would be ripe for peace.
Media reports have made frequent reference to the secret summits of the past, but few, if any, details have been provided. Here are some of those details:
Abdallah, emir of Transjordan after 1922, engaged the Zionist movement at many points before the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.
Between 1946 and 1948, on the eve of partition, Abdallah held several secret meetings with Jewish Agency representatives.
In November 1947, Abdallah met with Golda Meyerson (later Meir) at Naharayim, and met her again on May 11, 1948 at Abdallah's palace in Amman. While there she was introduced to the king's grandson Hussein, then 13 years old.
These meetings resulted in Israel acquiescing to the Hashemite absorption of Arab Palestine and, Jerusalem excluded, the Hashemites pledged not to invade Israel. Abdallah kept his promise.
Then, in the summer of 1948, Cols. Moshe Dayan and Abdallah al-Tal established a direct telephone line between the two countries.
Further meetings led on Feb. 28, 1950, to a "Draft of a Treaty of Peace Between Israel and the Hashemite Jordan Kingdom." These negotiations were leaked by al-Tal, and Abdallah was assassinated at al-Aksa Mosque in Jerusalem on July 21, 1951 by a Palestinian gunman. Prince Hussein was at his side.
When Hussein became king in 1953, he remembered Meir's visits to his grandfather. So did the Israelis, but attempts to arrange a secret summit with Hussein came to naught until 1963. In September 1963, the king met with Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion's personal representative, Ya'akov Herzog, in London.
Hussein met Herzog again in July 1967 shortly after the June war, in which Jordan lost the West Bank to Israel.
This meeting took place after messages were sent to the king offering the return of territory for peace, but before the August summit in Khartoum, Sudan, when the Arabs rejected any accommodation with Israel.
While hopes were dashed for a quick diplomatic solution, Israel-Jordan summitry continued.
The highest-level meeting occurred in March 1970, when Defense Minister Moshe Dayan and Jordanian Chief of Staff Zaid bin Shaker met in the Gulf of Aqaba; and in May, when Prime Minister Meir and the king met on the island of Jezirat Faron in the Gulf of Eilat.
There was civil war in Jordan and a Syrian invasion in September 1970, and Israel helped the king face down both. In March 1971, Hussein and Rifai flew by helicopter to the Foreign Ministry guest house near Tel Aviv to meet with Meir and Dayan. Meir proposed a detailed permanent settlement with Jordan. The king said no.
After the Kikud came to power in May 1977, Israeli-Jordanian secret summitry fell off sharply. Likud ideology sought to delegitimize the Hashemitces through its "Jordan-Is-Palestine" claims. Its "Greater Israel" ambitions left no room for Israeli-Hashemite reconciliation.
On Sept. 14, 1984, Shimon Peres became prime minister, heading a national unity government. New contacts with Jordan led to a Peres-Hussein summit in London on Oct. 5, 1985, which led, in turn, to a January 1986 tentative agreement on a temporary joint administration of the West Bank.
In October 1986, Yitzhak Shamir "rotated" into the prime ministry and Peres became foreign minister, but that did not stop Peres' pursuit of a new so-called "Jordanian option."
In January 1987, Peres traveled to Jordan with a sizable delegation. Between January and April, the two sides held several lower-level meetings.
These led to the so-called "London Agreement" between Peres and Hussein in April 1987, which was an attempt to finesse the Palestinian issue between Israel and Jordan, and which marked Israel's provisional agreement to attend an international conference on Middle East peace.
But Shamir refused to accept the deal, so the deal went down and the summitry ebbed.
Summitry recommenced in the context of the Kuwaiti crisis.
In June 1990, Shamir and top officials flew to London and stayed there at the king's personal residence.
Rabin's return to power in June 1992 marked the final push toward this week's public summit.
Following the signing of the declaration of principles by Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization on Sept. 13, 1993, Israel and Jordan publicly signed a similar agreement.
Rabin and Hussein met on Sept. 26 on a boat in the Gulf of Eilat. A major agreement on future relations was struck.
Hussein and Rabin met again in London on June 1.
Six days later came the major breakthrough when Israeli and Jordanian negotiators meeting in Washington agreed to regional talks aimed at signing a bilateral peace treaty.
Last week, Israeli and Jordanian principals met publicly, straddling their border in the Arava.
On July 20, Peres met in Jordan with Jordanian Prime Minister Abdel Salam al-Majali and, on Monday — the long-awaited first public summit is set to take place in Washington.
(Adam Garfinkle is director of the Middle East Council of the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia.)

some folks i have heard or read about complaining of the "sproiiiing" in the buffer tube. soooo, i had a thought, rather than a spring why not a sealed tube with a piston with a neoprene seal, similar to a tire pump, when the carrier blows back it will compress the trapped air in the tube, thus the trapped compressed air will return the carrier.
your thoughts ?

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- JPMorgan Chase ( JPM) is copying every move of American Express ( AXP) in its bid to court affluent consumers, a strategy that recently subjected the bank to a bit of ribbing from a top executive at the credit card company. Noting earlier this month at an investor conference hosted by Citigroup that American Express has "a number of competitors in the US who certainly are aimed at affluent consumers," Amex Vice Chairman Ed Gilligan took a pointed jab at JPMorgan's retail arm.
"I would say Chase in particular certainly has been executing well their strategy, but their strategy seems to be to follow American Express's strategy from a couple of years ago," said Gilligan, seemingly unconcerned with an unspoken banking industry practice of avoiding public comments regarding competitors. 9 Oil, Gold Stocks That Rise on Bad News "I don't view them as a leader in the field," Gilligan went on. "I view them as following step-by-step the things that American Express are doing, and they are executing well. But I think American Express is truly differentiating itself. Chase probably has 70%, 80% of their revenue in their card segment coming from balances. So whether they may be growing spend, their revenue is still down year over year. American Express is growing our charge volume nicely in the US and around the world, and our revenue is growing," Gilligan said. If indeed JPMorgan is following American Express's playbook, it would not be surprising. Gordon Smith, JPMorgan's CEO of Card Services, joined JPMorgan in 2007 after spending 25 years at American Express. A call to Smith was not returned, and a JPMorgan spokesman declined to comment on Gilligan's remarks. Bob Napoli, who covers American Express (but not JPMorgan) for William Blair & Co., argues Amex has "been more innovative over the last couple of years than in the more than 10 years that I've followed them." 10 Mid-Cap Stocks That Have Almost Doubled in 2012 While he believes JPMorgan "is doing overall a pretty good job" when it comes to revenues, he added that "we don't have the data to try to break that down into the affluent portion of JPMorgan." Still, Napoli notes that "American Express is still growing very strongly" posting what he calls "solid double-digit spending growth." He concludes that "if JPMorgan is having success in that area it doesn't appear to be affecting American Express at this point."

It is one of the most delicious things in London. Out of the roar and hurry of Holborn you pass through the old Jacobean gateway with the facade of oaken beams into the tranquil old-world court where the noise suddenly dies away, and you can sit peacefully under the shade of the plane-trees, as far removed from the bustle and racket without the gate as if you had been suddenly transported a hundred miles on a magician's carpet. From a kindly porter may be bought, for one shilling and sixpence, a delightful little history of this "fayrest Inne of Chancerie,"where Johnson lived after finishing his Rasselas in a week to pay for the expenses of his mother's funeral.
When you are tired of sitting quietly in this "veriest home of peace,"go across the courtyard to the hall of the Inn and look at the carved oaken roof and the grotesque ornaments, at the Grinling Gibbons clock-case and the old stained glass windows, and before you leave Staple Inn go through the second court and look at the old sunk garden that is so unconcernedly green in the very heart of this big city. At the back of the Patent Offices that make the southern boundary of Staple Inn is Took's Court-the Cook's Court where Mr. Snagsby of Bleak House lived-once a place of those curious semi-prisons called sponging-houses that were like debtors' boardinghouses with the bailiff for the landlord.
Took's Court is a sordid en ough place now, and some of it may soon disappear, but it has a vicarious interest because Sheridan spent some of the last years of his life in a sponging-house here.

The purpose of this tech note is to provide a complete setup guide for a cable modem (CM) network in a lab environment. This setup can be used as a first step before deployment to a customer network. It is important to note that a trouble-free setup in the lab does not necessarily mean a trouble-free setup in a customer's network. In a controlled lab environment, noise may not be an issue; while in real life, it can be quite the opposite. However, this procedure can be used to rule out issues that arise from the Cisco IOS® Software Release, the configuration, the hardware, and Radio Frequency (RF).
There are no specific requirements for this document.
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
For more information on document conventions, refer to the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions.
In this diagram, there is a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) that consists of these components:
uBR7246 that runs Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(2)T with MC16C Modem Cards
CM uBR904 that runs Cisco IOS Software Release version 12.0(7)T
Diplex Filter to separate high frequency from low frequencies
Cisco Network Registrar (CNR) version 3.5(3)
Three-way Splitter
Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) which, in this case, is a laptop
Note: The RF setup in that diagram can be used as a starting reference point; however, this might change once you deploy it at a customer site. RF measurements are beyond the scope of this document; refer to Connecting the Cisco uBR7200 Series Router to the Cable Headend for proper RF setup and measurements.
The upconverter is already installed and configured properly. Refer to the vendor's documentation for setup. Remember that, if you are using a GI upconverter, this should be set at 1.75 MHz lower than the center frequency of the NTSC channel in question.
There is a properly configured CPE that sits behind the CM, specifically to obtain an IP address via the DHCP server.
The CNR is used as the DHCP and TFTP servers, with the same IP address: 172.17.110.136.
The Time of Day (ToD) server software is running on the same NT server as CNR.
The sections in this document explain the steps that are needed to configure these components:
Cisco Network Registrar (CNR)
Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) configuration file
Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS)
Cable Modem (CM)
Follow this procedure to configure the CNR:
Launch CNR from the Start menu.
On the menu bar, click the Add tab to add a new cluster.
Enter the cluster name.
In this case, an IP address is used as the name.
Check the Connect to this cluster once added checkbox.
Click OK.
When you are prompted for the Username and Password, use admin and changeme.Figure 4 – Username and Password Window in CNR
Click OK.
A window appears that is similar to Figure 5, which contains the names or IP addresses of the configured clusters.Figure 5 – Server Manager Window in CNR
Double-click email@example.com, to bring up the firstname.lastname@example.com Properties window.
Click the Policies tab and then click New, to create a new policy.Figure 6 – Adding a Policy Called "Cable Modems" and Copying the Attributes from the "default" Policy
Type in the name of the policy.
In this example, the name is Cable Modems.
If this is a new policy, set the Copy from field to default.
Click OK.
Click Edit options, to specify DHCP options.
For the policy called Cable Modems, add the following options (see Figure 7):
dhcp-lease-time is active by default and set to 604800 seconds, which is the number of seconds in one week.
routers is the IP address of the CMTS cable interface, in this case 10.1.1.10. See Configuring the Headend (CMTS).
time-offset of the CM from Universal Coordinated Time (UTC; Time Offset option 2). This is used by the CM to calculate the local time, in order to time-stamp error logs.
time-servers IP address for the ToD server, which is 172.17.110.136.
packet-siaddr is the IP address of TFTP server, which is 172.17.110.136.
packet-file-name is the DOCSIS configuration file configured with the DOCSIS CPE Configurator (registered customers only) . This file should reside in the tftpboot directory of the TFTP server.
Note: Ensure that you check the Send to BOOTP clients checkbox, if you have BOOTP clients. It is also highly recommended that you check the Always send to DHCP clients checkbox.
Create another policy associated with the CPEs behind the CM, like laptops, and so forth.
In this example, the name of the policy is Cable Modem Clients.
Follow the same procedure as was used for the Cable Modems policy except, this time, set the Copy from field to the Cable Modems policy instead of to the default policy.Figure 8 – Adding a Policy Called "Cable Modem Clients" and Copying the Attributes from the Existing Policy Named "Cable Modems"
Click OK.
Click the Edit option button, to select the active options.
For the CPE policy, remove all options from the Active list except the dhcp-lease-time and the routers options.
To do so, select the property to delete in the Active list and click the Remove button.
Change the IP address for the routers option to 192.168.1.1, which is the secondary IP address configured on the CMTS router.
See Configuring the Headend (CMTS).Figure 9 – Adding the IP Address for the routers Attribute, which is the Secondary IP Address Configured in the Cable Interface to which this Policy Applies in the CMTS
Note: This example uses a private IP address as the secondary address on the CMTS and in the Cable Modems Client policy. In a production environment, CPE devices should use a public IP address, to be able to access the Internet (unless Network Address Translation [NAT] is used).
Create scopes to associate with the Cable Modems and Cable Modem Clients policies.
To make a new scope, click on email@example.com in the main menu, and then click the Add tab.
This will allow you to add a new scope.
Enter the name of the new scope and then select the appropriate policy.
In this example, the scope for the Cable Modems is set to use the IP addresses range from 10.1.1.20 to 10.1.1.30.Figure 10 – Scope for the Cable Modems called "Cable Modems"
Repeat Steps 16a and 16b for the Cable Modem Clients scope.
In this case, the private IP address range from 192.168.1.20 to 192.168.1.30 is used.Figure 11 – Scope for CPE Equipment Behind the Cable Modems called "Cable Modem Clients"
The scope used for the CPE devices requires additional configuration.
Once you have created the Cable Modem Clients scope, you need to double-click the scope to open the dialog box that is shown in Figure 12.Figure 12 – Cable Modem Clients Scope Window
Click the Advanced tab, in order to relate the secondary scope to the primary scope.
Check the Make this scope a secondary checkbox.
Once the drop-down list shows a blank value, select the appropriate primary scope.
In this example, the Cable Modems scope is selected.Figure 13 – Making the "Cable Modem Clients" Scope Secondary and Relating It to the Primary Scope
Finally, you need to restart your DHCP server so that your changes can take place.
In the main menu, select firstname.lastname@example.com and click the Control tab at the top, to get the dialog box shown in Figure 14. This dialog box allows you to reload the DHCP server.Figure 14 – Reload Window to Commit Changes in CNR
The next step that is required to setup a Cable Network is to compose the configuration file. For a cable modem to come online, it needs to download its configuration file via TFTP from a DHCP server. In this document's example, CNR is used to provide both TFTP and DHCP servers. Refer to DHCP and the DOCSIS Configuration File for Cable Modems (DOCSIS 1.0) for more information on the minimum requirements to setup the configuration file. The file is setup either with the web-based tool, DOCSIS CPE Configurator (registered customers only) , or with a download of the standalone version. In the On the CM (uBR904) section of this document, the DOCSIS configuration file that is used is called platinum.cm.
Note: Once the configuration file is created, ensure that it is copied to the TFTP server. In the case of CNR's TFTP server, you also must ensure that the TFTP server is started:
Select email@example.com and then click the Control tab.
This brings up the firstname.lastname@example.com Control dialog box, where the server can be started.
The TFTP server functionality is off by default. To make the TFTP server start automatically at bootup, start NRCMD (the command line interface for CNR) and issue these commands:
server tftp set start-on-reboot=enabled save
This is a basic configuration for the CMTS (the uBR7246):
Current configuration: ! version 12.1 service timestamps debug uptime service timestamps log uptime no service password-encryption ! hostname Sydney ! boot system flash ubr7200-ik1s-mz_121-2_T.bin no logging buffered enable password <deleted> ! no cable qos permission create !--- Default. no cable qos permission update !--- Default. cable qos permission modems !--- Default. ! ! ! ip subnet-zero no ip domain-lookup ! ! interface FastEthernet0/0 no ip address shutdown half-duplex ! interface Ethernet1/0 ip address 172.17.110.139 255.255.255.224 !--- The IP address of the interface in the same LAN segment as CNR. ! interface Ethernet1/1 no ip address shutdown ! interface Ethernet1/2 no ip address shutdown ! interface Ethernet1/3 no ip address shutdown ! interface Ethernet1/4 no ip address shutdown ! interface Ethernet1/5 no ip address shutdown ! interface Ethernet1/6 no ip address shutdown ! interface Ethernet1/7 no ip address shutdown ! interface Cable2/0 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 secondary !--- The secondary IP address is used for the CPE's scope in CNR. ip address 10.1.1.10 255.255.255.0 !--- The primary IP address is used for the CM's scope in CNR. no keepalive cable downstream annex B !--- Default for DOCSIS-compliant cable plants.

Typically, a cable modem does not require any user configuration for it to come online (aside from factory defaults). This applies only if the CM is to be used as a bridge. This is an example of a uBR cable modem configuration that is being obtained automatically, after the CM comes online:
version 12.0 no service pad service timestamps debug uptime service timestamps log uptime no service password-encryption ! hostname Router ! clock timezone - 0 ip subnet-zero no ip routing ! ! interface Ethernet0 ip address 10.1.1.25 255.255.255.0 no ip directed-broadcast no ip route-cache bridge-group 59 bridge-group 59 spanning-disabled ! interface cable-modem0 ip address negotiated no ip directed-broadcast no ip route-cache cable-modem downstream saved channel 453000000 20 1 cable-modem mac-timer t2 40000 bridge-group 59 bridge-group 59 spanning-disabled ! ip default-gateway 10.1.1.10 ip classless no ip http server ! ! line con 0 transport input none line vty 0 4 ! end
This section describes commands that can be used to verify correct operation of the Cable Network.
Ensure that the cable modems are online:
Sydney# show cable modem Interface Prim Online Timing Rec QoS CPE IP address MAC address Sid State Offset Power Cable2/0/U0 2 online 2290 -0.25 6 1 10.1.1.25 0050.7366.2223
If the cable modems are stuck in init(d) state, then there is no connectivity between the CMTS cable's interface and the DHCP Server.
Ensure that you can issue an extended ping from the cable interface of the CMTS:
Sydney# ping ip Target IP address: 172.17.110.136 Repeat count [5]: Datagram size [100]: Timeout in seconds [2]: Extended commands [n]: y Source address or interface: 10.1.1.10 Type of service [0]: Set DF bit in IP header? [no]: Validate reply data? [no]: Data pattern [0xABCD]: Loose, Strict, Record, Timestamp, Verbose[none]: Sweep range of sizes [n]: Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.17.110.136, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 8/12/24 ms
If the ping is not successful, check the IP routing. Also, ensure that the NT server that is running CNR has the correct default gateway or route back to the CMTS. You can also issue a ping from CNR.
Another command that can be used on the CMTS to verify cable modem and CPE connectivity is show interface cable 2/0 modem 0:
Sydney# show interfaces cable 2/0 modem 0 SID Priv bits Type State IP address method MAC address 2 00 host unknown 192.168.1.20 dhcp 0010.a4e6.d04d !--- A laptop that is obtaining an IP address. 2 00 modem up 10.1.1.25 dhcp 0050.7366.2223 !--- The cable modem.
You can also check connectivity on the cable modem side. Issue the show ip interface brief command and check that the interfaces are up/up:
Router# show ip interface brief Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol Ethernet0 10.1.1.25 YES unset up up cable-modem0 10.1.1.25 YES unset up up Router# show controllers cable-modem 0 BCM Cable interface 0: CM unit 0, idb 0x2010AC, ds 0x86213E0, regaddr = 0x800000, reset_mask 0x80 station address 0050.7366.2223 default station address 0050.7366.2223 PLD VERSION: 32 MAC State is maintenance_state, Prev States = 15 MAC mcfilter 01E02F00 data mcfilter 01000000 MAC extended header ON DS: BCM 3116 Receiver: Chip id = 2 US: BCM 3037 Transmitter: Chip id = 30AC Tuner: status=0x00 Rx: tuner_freq 453000000, symbol_rate 5055880, local_freq 11520000 snr_estimate 35210, ber_estimate 0, lock_threshold 26000 QAM in lock, FEC in lock, qam_mode QAM_64 Tx: TX_freq 27984000, power_level 0x30 (24.0 dBmV), symbol_rate 8 (1280000 sym/sec) DHCP: TFTP server = 172.17.110.136, TOD server = 172.17.110.136 Security server = 0.0.0.0, Timezone Offest = 0 Config filename = platinum.cm buffer size 1600 RX data PDU ring with 32 entries at 0x202130 rx_head = 0x202168 (7), rx_p = 0x8621418 (7) RX MAC message ring with 8 entries at 0x202270 rx_head_mac = 0x2022A0 (6), rx_p_Mac = 0x86214BC (6) TX BD ring with 8 entries at 0x2023A8, TX_count = 0 TX_head = 0x2023C8 (4), head_txp = 0x8621548 (4) TX_tail = 0x2023C8 (4), tail_txp = 0x8621548 (4) TX PD ring with 8 entries at 0x202428, TX_count = 0 TX_head_pd = 0x202C28 (4) TX_tail_pd = 0x202C28 (4) Global control and status: global_ctrl_status=0x00 interrupts: irq_pend=0x0008, irq_mask=0x00F7
You can also test IP connectivity. Ping the DHCP server from the CM:

HISTORY: Panhandle (now know as Ledbetter) is a five mile long peninsula between the Ohio and Tennessee rivers, ending at Livingston Point where the Tennessee flows into the Ohio across from Paducah. Most of the area is flat river bottom farmland and home sites. The area was settled as early as 1836 when John PILES was buried on the bank of the Ohio back of the old Eison peach orchard, where several other graves have caved into the river. Most residents were buried in cemeteries where the high waters did not reach. (From Livingston County, Kentucky History Book -1990-)
She was 61 in 1850 and was living with her son Samuel.
She was 74 in 1860.
Her tombstone says 23 ---- 1862, can not read the month.

Indoor Air Quality Experts in Lancaster You Can Trust
The average American spends nearly 90% of their time indoors. For infants and the elderly this percent of time is likely to be higher. Studies show that indoor air pollution can be two to five times higher than outdoor air pollution. This puts the citizens in Lancaster, York, Harrisburg, Berks and Chester Counties at a greater risk of contracting various diseases from indoor air pollutants and viral pathogens. In fact, the US Environmental Protection Agency, EPA ranks poor indoor air quality one among the top five public health risks. Common diseases and symptoms are associated with poor indoor air quality. The Indoor Air Quality Experts at Lancaster Plumbing, Heating & Cooling are here to help!

More insight into the death of a Troy man will likely come to light this week, as Patrick Mikes Jr. is scheduled to undergo a preliminary examination Monday in 52-4 District Court.
Mikes, 21, is accused of killing his father, 55-year-old Patrick Mikes Sr., in the basement of the family's residence on Homewood Drive in Troy. Mikes Sr. went missing July 27, and his body was found in a field in Montrose Township weeks later.
Mikes Jr. was charged with murder before the body was found after authorities determined there was no way anyone could have survived an apparent brutal attack that occurred in the basement of the home. A large amount of blood was found there, police said.
More information should come out about the crime Monday, as prosecutors must provide enough information during the preliminary exam for 52-4 District Judge William Bolle to bind the case over to Oakland County Circuit Court.
Watch a report on the preliminary exam of Patrick Mikes Jr. during today's News at Noon.
Mikes Jr. -- a University of Notre Dame student who studied pre-med and psychology -- has been in custody since Aug. 8, when a warrant was issued for his arrest for open murder.
Before this, the younger Mikes had not been in trouble, and police said there was nothing in his background to indicate psychological problems.
Investigators, who had not yet found Mikes Sr.'s body at that point, based the charge on an extensive amount of evidence that was recovered from the scene, as well as subsequent forensic analysis conducted on that evidence. A mixture of blood from Mikes Jr. and Mikes Sr. was among evidence found at the scene.
Police also said evidence found at the home indicated that a violent struggle had occurred there.
Patrick Mikes Sr., an avid bicyclist and a project consultant, lived in the home with his two sons, his wife and their mother having died years earlier of a brain tumor.
It is expected that further information and details about that evidence will be revealed during Monday's hearing.
Detectives had their eyes on the son early into the missing person case.
Mikes Jr. had been arrested and in custody days before his murder arrest, charged initially with three counts of unlawfully possessing and/or using financial transaction devices. He was accused of stealing his brother's credit card and using it to purchase food and movie tickets at Great Lakes Crossing in Auburn Hills.
Police called Mikes a suspect in his father's death around that time.
His grandparents paid his $50,000 bond, he was released from jail Aug. 2 and remained free until he was formally charged with murder on Aug. 8.

I've been saying for some time now that quality control and the delivery mechanism in Microsoft Update are both stuffed.
Microsoft cries UNINSTALL in the wake of Blue Screens of Death™
Microsoft has urged users to remove a buggy update as it yanked download links to the offending patch, after reports emerged it caused the dreaded blue screen of death. The fixes issued on Patch Update Tuesday addressed privilege escalation bugs but an apparent font cache clearing issue lead to Windows boxes turning the colour …
I've been saying for some time now that quality control and the delivery mechanism in Microsoft Update are both stuffed.
I've been saying the same thing for at least 15 years. Maybe even over 20. It was readily apparent with all the heap, stack and buffer overrun problems way back when. They were much too interested in adding supposed features instead of fixing the bugs as should have been done. It is one of the reasons why I left the support industry. Like the old "Where is the ANY key?" question that one can only answer so many times before exploding, one can only fix the same systems from the same bugs only so many times. $$$ be damned.
Their ad delivery system here on the Reg certainly isn't stuffed - I find it says it all when, surrounded by microsoft marketing messages telling me how great they are we're constantly reading, err on the same page, how crap they are. Could this be because microsoft put more money into marketing than actual r&d/quality control/product development? You be the judge...
Just a bit of cognitive dissonance. This IS 2014, you should be used to it by now, it's practically a civilizational scourge. Or are you never watching the news?
Far be it from me to be cynical this early in the week but...
Any company which puts more money into product development than marketing will either a) have to be extremely lucky, or b) close down within weeks of launching their first product.
If my company wasn't peddling products I worked on outside of my day job, I would be firmly placed in camp B.
I've been saying for some time now that quality control and the delivery mechanism in Microsoft Update are both stuffed.
Yes, but how else are you going to distribute governmentware to all on the planet? The NSA must have stumbled on that one years ago..
Break it anyway with ABP, NoScript and DoNotTrackMe.
What M$ ads?
Re: Break it anyway with ABP, NoScript and DoNotTrackMe.
> What M$ ads?
The ones in skype (if you are unfortunate enough to run Windows).
and er... 40 fixes in a single patch?
Don't do that.
They've always been like this. Why do you think they are shown so much love?
Re: Break it anyway with ABP, NoScript and DoNotTrackMe.
No ads on Skype if you block the adservers at your router (or doctor your Hostsfile).
Blah Blah Blah. Do you know how rare it really is that this happens?
Do you know how many billions of hardware/software combinations windows works with?
Do you have any idea just how many builds/systems/setups MS already tests against?
Do you have any idea just how many bits of software do things they're not supposed to and are often responsible for this kind of issue (might not be in this case, haven't looked, but i'm talking about the issue in general).
It's actually quite impressive how rarely things go wrong considering the scale.
Now compare to say, Apple... they break systems on the hardware they supply which is much more rigid and controlled than in the Windows world... if you're going to call someone out, perhaps ask why the vendor with the most controlled environment out there has issues.
Linux updates of various types don't always go smoothly either.
However, that's the price we pay for the incredibly diverse tasks, roles and services, hardware software, firmware and so on we can all choose and run.
@Vince I empathise. It illustrates the need for ones own testing - whether you're running Windows, Linux, OSX or what-not.
@ Vince
>>Linux updates of various types don't always go smoothly either.
Only that (GNU) Linux supports many times more hardware, including various CPU archs, and a few magnitudes more of software than Windows does.
Plus the update mechanism is more robust as well. In case of any trouble with a new kernel, the latest stable can be used since it's almost never discarded, thanks to a better modularity.
More so, you don't need to write any special powershell code to "determine if users had installed affected updates", you simply look in the /var/log directory (on Debian based systems /var/log/apt/history.log)
I tend to ask myself if accepting sub-par quality is really the right thing to do.
Re: @ Vince
Why was this downvoted?
Linux will run on anything. Patches and version control are more tightly linked....
For all those people who nag at me to install auto-install updates, right now, without delay:
Now you know why I don't.
Or perhaps you don't, considering you're too busy looking at a blue screen...
So that's what was going on, but I still argue for installing over not
One of my machines (out of 4 or 5 with Windows 7) has had 3 BSODs since this patch Tuesday, but a second machine had quite a bit of problem getting the updates installed. My initial hypothesis was that some 3-letter agency was having compatibility problems with their spyware, so I'm almost relieved by this explanation of mere incompetence. Only "almost" since this article mentions Langley. I'm sure it's just another harmless coincidence.
Not that I have any reason to protect my privacy, of course. I know I'm not likely to do anything interesting, so they are just spying on my computers because the light is better over here. It's such a nuisance to look for actual terrorists in the dark shadows without conveniently pwnable computers, eh?
By the way, as regards the post by John Tserkezis, I still have to recommend quick patching. Once Microsoft reveals the latest crop of their incompetence, you are in a race condition. If the black hats can reverse engineer the patches, your computer is just an accident waiting to happen. If you patch, then at least you are in the latest and greatest race to be pwned, so to speak.
Think what a different world it would be if Microsoft were actually liable for their mistakes. You could bet that they would be much more cautious in their programming practices. Mayhaps my computer wouldn't even be smothered under over 120 mostly mysterious processes and some 150 plus services (according to what Task Manager can see), any of which might be buggy. Oh wait. I should say "Most of which are buggy, but any of which might be mostly harmless."
Frankly, I think this level of incompetence should justify an emergency patch from the Microsoft. Oh wait. I keep forgetting the EULA. Whatever happens, NOTHING is Microsoft's fault, so why would they care about how soon they fix this SNAFU?
Freedom = (Meaningful + Unconstrained) Choice ≠ Beer | Microsoft
understood, but
I've never understood this stance on security. It's at best lazy and at worst negligent. It might be your boss, or your boss' boss that's to blame on this, but you don't have to drink the Kool Aid. Call a spade a spade. Too many people just "accept" this.
Nobody said work had to be easy.
There are two problems - the sheer number of bugs being found and the number of updates being released.
Testing updates is a time-consuming and potentially expensive task and there is always a trade-off between security, time and stability - a classic 'pick any two'.
While IT best practice might be to test every update first, the reality is that it is not business best practice across the board to provide sufficient resources (time, budget and staff) for IT to do such testing. Microsoft, has to realise this and make decisions accordingly because there are people for whom their computers are critical but cannot afford the kind of testing that Microsoft updates require.
Under consumer law in Australia, software is expressly stated to be a 'good', which means that there are liabilities which cannot be disclaimed. I understand the situation is less clear in the US and perhaps other countries. Goods must be of merchantable quality and damages arising from faults in the good can be recovered. Of course, a vendor may fix or replace at their discretion but, crucially, those fixes must themselves be of sufficient quality and a consumer or business can seek damages if problems arise because of those fixes.
OS software is necessarily much harder to pin down in terms of its purpose than, say, a piece of software used to calculate correct medication dosages or an aeronautical chart (both of which have been involved in wrongful death cases) but I think there are definitely grounds for a class action against MS when these kind of things happen. The difficulty is that there isn't much case law to guide it.
Testing updates is a time-consuming and potentially expensive task and there is always a trade-off between security, time and stability - a classic 'pick any two'.
Yeah...the trouble here is that Microsoft always seems to pick time...and time.
Spelling in Title
Excuse me if I'm missing yet another clever name for Microsoft (e.g. "House of Blues-screen") but the title says "Remond" instead of "Redmond" as I'm typing this. Error or correct?
Re: Spelling in Title
"Lemoned", perhaps?
Re: Spelling in Title
...yet missed "buisness"
Re: Spelling in Title
or this one "The fixes issued on Patch Update Tuesday addressed privelege escalation bugs ". Perhaps El Reg needs to get its spelling checker working
I never allow automatic updates. I figure that by the time I see the nag screen (usually several hours after the release), if the update was catastrophic it would most likely have been pulled.
What if everyone does the same?
I do the same as you, no automatic updates whatsoever. But obviously, if everyone does the same then there is no one left to test the updates. I wonder, who the guinea pigs are/will be?
A friendlier opening for Neuromancer
"The sky above the port was the color of a Windows screen, after patch Tuesday".
Perhaps after every Patch Update Tuesday...
... M$ should have a ((Patch Update) Patch Update) Wednesday.
Ahh.So this explains
my BSOD on my laptop last week.
It really borked my laptop although to be honest, the update was the straw that broke the camels back.
So after 30 mins of fruitless self repair, out came the ghost disk. Within an hour, back up and running...A minor inconvienience (to me)...
Fisrt time an update has ever borked my systems...
Re: Ahh.So this explains
Had one too....Mind you I did think it was MS's way of making go get a win 8 jobby.
P.S. Jobby means a shite in Scotland.
Re: Ahh.So this explains
No 2's my dear fellow. Lets not be crude although the <redacted> stuff to come out of Redmond seems like a load of jobby hitting fans at times.
Re: Ahh.So this explains
Reading/writing this mid jobby
Just thought I'd share...
Updated a W7 Professional 32bit laptop yesterday for the first time since March. However - the Control Panel display "Programs....." showing installed Windows updates does not appear to have any of those four rogue ones.
It's not easy to check as there is no "search" function - and the KB number is not in a position that can be used to sort a column. The only useful sort field was the installed date - grouping all the updates for yesterday.
Staggered installs?
Week one - 10% test PC / laptops in different departments
Week two - Rest of PCs / laptops and some test servers (non mission critical)
Week three - Rest of non mission critical servers
Week four - A) Half of DCs early in week (Monday / Tuesday)
B) Other half of DCs later in week (Thursday or following week)
Not been bitten by a patch problem since started using this process.
Re: Staggered installs?
Just if someone p0wns your DCs the fact the other machines are patched becomes irrelevant...
Re: Staggered installs?
similar to us, never do anything in the first few days after a release, then test on VM's and do DC's and other mission critical stuff several weeks later.
Re: Staggered installs?
Eminently sensible. And a fair chunk of work too. Neither are welcome news to some IT management teams, but the alternative is BSOD or comprised systems.
Re: Staggered installs?
I wonder noone checks for the attack vectors and the associated risks? If a vulnerability is only locally exploitable then, yes, you can wait for applying a patch (as long as local access are well defined and used the proper way...)
But if a vulnerabilty is exploitable from remote, and maybe without much privileges, do you really wait for "several weeks"?
Post-Bill Gates Microsoft & quality control?
NOT in the same sentence, PLEASE!!
It seems Ballmer did irreparable damage to M$.
Remond = ReDmond?
Just curious how much you pay the Editors who are proof reading articles before they are actually posted?
So do you unistall...
if you're not seeing any errors after applying the update??
3 Windows 7 machines and one Windows 8, 2 of the W7 systems were fine after patches had been installed (Had to install one patch twice on 1 of them as the anti virus threw a fit on 1st install so I had to turn it off for the patch to succeed), Windows 8 system fine but 1 of the W7 systems did the reboot after the patches then failed to configure windows 5 times before it went finally went through.IMO this is not acceptable behaviour. Still i managed to kill one of my linux VMs too doing updates.
snaggin frashin rashin gashin....*
damn thing gave me one MASSIVE headache of a system failure, causing a 0xc00021a problem that wouldn't let me rollback, restore, or even bypass. Somehow managed to get it to "refresh", and that at least has me to a point that I now have a system that operates, but some data that missed backup is forever lost.
NOT freaking impressed one sodding bit.
Previous coments on Windoze are therefore confirmed: Next system upgrade: Linux OS of some form/branding/distro.
* - Sylvester the cat cursing, writ large.
Re: snaggin frashin rashin gashin....*
yep cause the millions of random distributions of Linux never have any issues at all ever
I'm just amazed at how much shit Windows users will continue to put up with, and still not switch to Linux or Apple.
If THOSE are the alternatives...
then you really did just answer your own question..
6 of one and half a dozen of the other....

RAMMING SPEED Join Prosthetic Records Roster
February 20, 2013, 4 years ago
Prosthetic Records has announced the signing of up-and-coming grind/thrash metallers RAMMING SPEED. The group's full-length Prosthetic debut, Doomed To Destroy, Destined To Die, was recorded at GodCity Studios with Kurt Ballou (CONVERGE, KVELERTAK, BLACK BREATH) and mastered at AudioSiege with Brad Boatwright (SLEEP, HIGH ON FIRE, SUNN O))), TRAGEDY). The album is tentatively set for a late spring/early summer release. More details will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Drummer Jonah Livingston commented on the signing: "We are incredibly excited to finally announce that we've signed on with Prosthetic Records, a label whose roster proves its dedication to all facets of heavy music. While our band has been extremely lucky to work with labels like Tankcrimes and Brutal Panda, this is an incredible opportunity and we're ready for the step forward! See you on the road!"
Hailing from Boston, this heavy-hitting quintet - whose sound combines the charging rhythms of d-beat punk and the aggression of thrash with NWOBHM-worthy guitar harmonies and grind's blinding speed - is no stranger to the metal scene, having previously released a variety of records, tapes and EPs through several labels. The band will spend April and May touring with GOATWHORE, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD and REVOCATION in the northeast and midwest.
