DIRECTV Installation On Thursday, August 05, 2010

REMINDER:
The installer will arrive between
8:00 AM - 12:00 PM on
Thursday, August 05, 2010.
Ashley Smiley,
The best in TV is on the way.
Soon you'll enjoy the ultimate in TV entertainment. DIRECTV offers
access to over 130 channels in HD †, exclusive sports packages and
100% digital-quality picture and sound.
To help you get ready for installation day, here's a quick checklist
of things you'll need:
Room Selection
Pick the room(s) where you want to enjoy DIRECTV® programming.
TV Access
Move your television away from the wall to help the installer reach
the connections.
Appointment Duration
Set aside two to four hours to be at home once installation begins so
the installer has time to connect your system and give you a simple
demonstration on how your new DIRECTV® System works.
Presence of an Adult
Make sure someone over 18 is home to sign the installation documents
when the installer is finished.
Broadband Connection or Working Phone Line
Your technician will evaluate your current broadband connectivity or
your land-based phone line (or wireless jack) so you can take
advantage of great features like ordering DIRECTV Cinema™ movies and
Pay Per View events with your remote.
Property Management Approval
Check with your landlord or management company about regulations for
installing television service if you live in an apartment or are part
of a homeowners association.
You may need to fill out a Landlord Permission Form.
NEED TO RESCHEDULE? You can reschedule online or give us a call at
1-800-DIRECTV.

NEED TO CHANGE YOUR ORDER? Please call at least 24 hours before your
installation, or we may need to reschedule your appointment.

London Bike Hire Bicycles Arrive

"DARnet Andy Roberts" - 1 new article

London Bike Hire Bicycles Arrive

The London bike hire bicycles are arriving on the streets of London after some well publicised delays. The London scheme is much smaller than the Paris public bicyle hire scheme on which the idea is based, but at least it’s a start.

“Barclays Cycle Superhighways” compared with the Paris scheme.

Amplify by email

I'm sending an email to Amplify.com in order to create a post in a

similar way to emailing posterous.com



Now it's also set up with autoposting to other services, so I'm having

to be careful to avoid annoying duplication of the same message in

lots of places, which is not a good idea but sometimes happens as

everything gets more complicated.



It's just plumbing really. Not big pipes with loads of pressure, but

lots of little pipes interconnected.

Cider on Holiday


Cider on Holiday

Wherever you go on holiday do you know if you’ll be able to get any drinkable cider while you’re there?

Bill Boyle wrote to ukcider:

Dear ukcider,

Having spent a miserable 2 weeks without cider whilst in Aruba in 2008, we’re taking our drinking lives in our hands and are off to Cotton Bay Village in St Lucia in November and would love to learn if it will be possible to find/buy cider during the course of our holiday? Any ideas please?

Regards,

Bill & Sue Boyle

I’ve no idea what the cider conditions are like in the Carribbean, nor many other places I’ve never been to. A holiday in Spain or France, Ireland and most of the UK should provide some cider and perry opportunities though. And according to the Worldwide cider Wiki maybe Germany, Australia Norway and the US.

Havering Folk Club News 25 July 2010

Havering Folk Club News

25th July 2010

 

Hi Haverfolk,

Pete here once again with this week’s edition of the HFC newsletter

 

Last Session:

Wednesday, 21st July got off to a slowish start with only seven floor-spotters assembled by starting time. However, this number gradually increased and we eventually had seventeen, with some additional audience members as well, which is more like the number we usually expect.

 

I was MC for the first half and got the evening going. I was followed by Bernie Pilgrim, Margaret Brown, Pep & Terry, Andy Roberts, Foxen, and Jane Thomson. We then heard an HFC virgin, John Clarke, a truly superb guitarist who played one guitar solo, an arrangement of his own, and he followed this with a song, with guitar accompaniment. Everyone enjoyed his spot and we’d love him to come back “as often as will”. Following John was Linda Worley, Steve O’Kane, Fiona McBain, who played a flute solo for the first time at the club – well done Fiona! Last to go before the break was tenor Dave Worley.

 

After the break I handed the MC honours over to Pep who introduced Kriss Pouch, Tony Thomson, Mikanora (haven’t seen these two for a while – nice to have ‘em back), Phil Duffield and finally, Margaret Nicholson.

 

With a few minutes left Pep was able to re-introduce Steve O’Kane and Andy Roberts for another song each before he and Terry rounded the evening off.

 


Other Stuff:

I mentioned Mick Spooner’s brother Danny is over from Australia just now. He also has a gig at Waltham Abbey Folk Club, The Royal British Legion, Sewardstone Street, J/O Greenfield Street,  Waltham Abbey, EN9 1HY, Jan Ayres 01992 613987, www.walthamabbeyfolkclub.com    Danny’s gig is tomorrow, Monday 26th July at 8.30pm.

 

Sing Out Loud is a group of men and women, of all levels of singing ability, who meet for 10 weeks, each academic term, in Chelmsford, for the joy of singing melody and harmony with others.  There are no auditions & no need to read music. There still a few places left on the Summer Singing Workshop, on Sunday, 15th August. Pre-booking is essential. Call 07853 132 633 or email info@theartsnetwork.co.uk.

Venue is The United Bretheren (pub), New Writtle Street, Chelmsford, CM2 0LF. Time is 10am – 4pm and cost is £35 including lunch.

 

We have quite a few new subscribers since I last mentioned Bandstand Busking. This is a group of people who get together and organise a series of music sessions at some of the many disused bandstands around London parks, usually on a Sunday afternoon. You can either go along just to listen to the artists or bands, but you can also get yourself on their list of artists for a booking with them. They have quite a few video clips on their website so have look at www.bandstandbusking.com

 

Stortfolk will be changing their venue from Thursday, September 9th. The new one will be the lounge of The Royal British Legion, 28 Windhill, Bishop’s Stortford, CM23 3HJ. The first night will be a singers’ night and all are welcome, either to perform or simply to go along and listen. Future artists already lined up are Liz Simcock, Jody Kruskal, Geoff Higginbottom and Anthony John Clarke. Contact Jon McNamara on 01279 656664, e-mail j.f.mcnamara@talk21.com

 

The session at The King’s Head in at Ridgewell is now defunct. Instead, Colin and Karen Cater, and others, are opening up a new folk club at the Three
Horseshoes, Duton Hill, near Thaxted. It will be monthly, third Thursday
over the winter months (September - April when the month has an 'r' in it,
plus Merry May). Entry prices will vary but will never be more than a fiver.
Guests will be drawn from the many talented folk people living within less
than 90 minutes driving range. The first tranche of guests will be:

September 16th  Mary Humphreys and Anahata
October 21st Annie Harding
November 18th Karen and Colin Cater (this will be used to launch Karen's new book - 'The Spirit of the   Hare')
December 16th Winter beano

 

On Tuesday, 3rd August, Haverfolk Ploughman’s Lunch will be presenting an extended spot “First Furrow”, songs of agriculture and the countryside, at Romford Folk Club, The Sun, 47 London Road, Romford, RM7 9QA. Contact Mick Brown, 01708 743423, e-mail: www.romfordfolkclub.com

 

Back to HFC:

Next Wednesday, 28th July is another open session. Everyone is welcome to come along either to perform or simply to be a member of the audience.

 

The following week Haverman Phil Duffield has his featured evening, so we’d like to see as many Haverfolk as possible along to support him. I know he’s been working very hard to get an interesting programme together for us.

 

I feel a bit guilty really as this will be the first member’s featured evening I’ve ever missed, but I just couldn’t persuade them to change the date of the Sidmouth Folk Festival!

 

That’s it for this week, so Make it a date – Wednesday at eight! at Havering folk club – the Feelgood Folk Club.

 

Cheers – Pete W.
