I've had my Foxsat for years, they're the gold standard for reliability. But anyway, go to the setup menu (with the icon of a satellite, I think) and look at the signal strength/quality of both of the satellite inputs. You are using two satellite inputs aren't you? Try connecting just one input and performing a Freesat tune. You'll need to do a fresh Freesat tune every time you change something on the satellite inputs. (It takes less than a minute) Long shot, but maybe one cable has gone bad, and a fresh Freesat tune will pick up the missing channels using the one good cable. Worth a shot.

A hiss from the engine? Have you got a leak on your inlet or exhaust manifold (or their seals)? This can confuse the sensors which could make your engine run poorly.

Blogger is free and you might be surprised what can be done. Take a look at some of the examples.

Greg Valentino. And no, it's not photoshopped, it's real. There was a film a couple of years ago, "The Man Whose Arms Exploded" - you can find it on Youtube.

Wait.... you mean.... your friends on Facebook are.... what.... actual 'friends'? You one crazy gal. You must have snubbed the friend requests from people you once bumped into 14 years ago at the newsagent. Brutal.

This article made me smile. http://waitbutwhy.com/2013/07/7-ways-to-be-insufferable-on-facebook.html I see a lot of these two 'categories' 1a) The "I'm Living Quite the Life" Brag 2) The Cryptic Cliffhanger SHARE IF YOU AGREE!!!

My favourite.

.bak is just a file extension. It gives you no clue as to the nature of the backup file. I'm 100% certain they meant to use simple rather than full.

On the face of it, I would suggest that they've made a mistake. They've chosen a model (Full) which implies the use of logs, but their recovery method suggests that they should be using the Simple model.

'Simple' is a recovery model. The backup is done at a particular time, and that's that - the transaction log files play no further part in the restoration process. This means that they cannot be used to recover data after the last simple backup. You restore the simple backup, and all data committed after the last backup is lost. The Simple model works for some users, but if you need a point-in-time recovery, Full+logs is the model to choose. It all depends on your requirements and the loss of data you can accept.

Even if there was a third party backup solution operating, this would still be shown by that script. So, it's safe to say that the server is misconfigured. Tell the LA of the problem you've spotted - shared ownership is a blamefest at the dung/fan interface. Also ask them when the last SIMS test restore was done and what was the result. You don't want to wait until a disaster before you see if your plan works or not.

No, that option is for 'brown alert' when you're trying to recover all you can from a failure. Keep to the default. "For routine log backups, keep the default selection, Truncate the transaction log by removing inactive entries." This re-uses the physical files used by the transaction logs. It looks like whoever set up your backups didn't finish the job. You really should get somebody on the case as it's really important that this is done right.

Run the script from SQL Manager - right-click a database and select New Query. A full backup is a recoverable backup at the time the backup was made. At this point the transaction logs are marked as re-usable, and are recycled. Otherwise, the transaction logs will grow indefinitely. A similar process happens when the transaction logs are backed up. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190440%28v=sql.105%29.aspx

It'll tell you everything about the backups on the database. If all is well, you'll see some '***FULL***' entries against your database, and in between you should see several 'LOG' entries. If all you see is 'FULL', then you know for a fact that it's not set up correctly.

You're correct, there should be a transaction log backup scheduled to take full advantage of the 'full' recovery model. You don't have to, but it doesn't make sense otherwise. If it's not being done, you might as well use the 'simple' recovery model. If you have access to the SQL server (and you're allowed to do so), this script will spill the beans on the backup situation for any database. Put your database name in the @mydatabase variable in the script. Usual disclaimers, etc. DECLARE @mydatabase as varchar(100) set @mydatabase = 'your database name goes here' SELECT sysdb.name, bkup.description, bkup.backup_finish_date, case when type='D' then '** FULL **' when type='I' then 'DIFFERENTIAL' when type='L' then 'LOG' end as Backup_Type, (STR(ABS(DATEDIFF(day, GetDate(),(backup_finish_date))))) as 'Days_Ago', ceiling(bkup.backup_size /1048576) as 'Size MB' , cast((bkup.backup_size /1073741824) as decimal (9,2)) as 'Size GB', server_name, sysdb.crdate ,datediff(minute, bkup.backup_start_date, bkup.backup_finish_date) as 'Mins' ,cast(cast(datediff(minute, bkup.backup_start_date, bkup.backup_finish_date) as decimal (8,3))/60 as decimal (8,1)) as 'Hours', first_lsn, last_lsn, checkpoint_lsn FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases sysdb LEFT OUTER JOIN msdb.dbo.backupset bkup ON bkup.database_name = sysdb.name where backup_finish_date > DATEADD(DAY, -60, (getdate())) -- Last 60 days AND sysdb.name = @mydatabase ORDER BY sysdb.name, bkup.backup_finish_date desc

I've been looking at various music streaming services/apps and have settled on two (for my Android phone which is used 90% of the time as a music player). I use Blinkbox Music but I've also discovered 8Tracks music. It's best described as being like the old mix tapes - remember them? I've been very impressed with this and I've found tons of great new music. All the mixes are made by humans, not algorithms. Anyway, I like it. 8tracks internet radio | Free music playlists | Best app for music 8Tracks: A Great Way to Create and Discover Creative Playlists

I could be tempted by the USB power pack.

Oooo I had a really bad experience with Shimano Nexus 3 speed. They're not weather sealed and it disintegrated after 3 months in bad weather. Perhaps other hub gears are better (Rohloff) but mine was a disaster, I downloaded the service manual and immediately gave up. Maybe I was just unlucky, but I just want something as simple as possible that I can rely on every day.

Freewheel. Never tried fixed, even though I had a bike with a flip-flop wheel, I set it for freewheel without even trying fixed. Perhaps I'm missing out, but I've never like the idea.

By the way, my home-brew chain oil is excellent. I've been using it for a couple of months as needed, at least once a week and maybe twice, and it's performing well in all weathers. I use 2:1 OMS thinner:quality engine oil. If the chain is dirty, I give it a rinse with the homebrew, clean with a rag, then re-apply. The chain comes up nice and clean. It takes no more than 30 seconds at the end of the week. Recipe here I compared it with a regular good chain oil and found my home-brew was better. The commercial oil attracted dirt very badly. The home-brew was much cleaner. It sheds water, doesn't gum up with dust and doesn't let the chain rust when it's really wet. I've run it on a new Izumi chain for three months and there's no chain stretch yet. I also use it on my mountain bike in all conditions. It's the best all-purpose oil I've used. It's a winner.

Nonsense! Treat it like a big BMX. I would never go back to gears for my commuter. I changed the chainring (£10), chain (Izumi track chain £11) and sprocket (£3) so a whole new drive train cost less than a good cassette. No cables, shifters, jockey wheels to faff around with. Just jump on and ride simplicity. I've tried more chains than I care to remember, and for single-speed, the Izumi is the best - no question.

Yes, just install the instance - it will prompt you for a name for your new instance during the installation.

Porkestral event?

I also liked this paper. It contains quite a bit of speculation, but it's interesting even if it's wrong. http://fqxi.org/data/essay-contest-files/Nikolic_FQXi_time.pdf
