Vol.4. NO.10...........................................................Pages14-15 Weather Warning by Thomas (of ZiaNet) Please be aware that lightning and rain can affect your computer and the quality of your Internet connection. Rain can sometimes wet phone lines or terminal connections between you and the phone company. If you find that your connect rate or even your ability to get connected falls off after a good soaking rain, don't feel like the Lone Ranger. It's a pretty common problem. Some phone systems are much more susceptible to this problem than others. Every year when the thunderstorms begin internet service providers get calls from people with dead modems. Especially if you live up in the mountains, where these storms deliver more lightning, and phone lines are hanging on poles rather than buried, a couple of cautions are in order. When lightning strikes nearby it sends huge electrical pulses through wiring. Phone lines and electrical lines will carry these pulses to your home, and to your computer. You should have a high quality surge protector between your computer and these lines. Good surge protectors are inexpensive. They include four or six power plug connections and a pair of phone jacks. This is good protection, but not great protection. Great protection costs a bit more, or nothing, and is a matter of convenience versus cost. If you are willing to spend between $75 and $250, you can invest in an UPS (Uninteruptable Power Source) system. These units charge internal batteries, fully filter the power and phone connection, and should the power go out, supply power to your computer long enough for you to shut it down safely. If you go shopping for one of these, look for a unit that offers a dollar guarantee. They guarantee that if your equipment is damaged they will replace it. In most cases a $500 to $1500 guarantee will do just fine. The more you spend, that larger the guarantee. Then again, you could just disconnect the phone line and unplug the computer when weather threatens. This only costs you the effort of bending over, and is the very best insurance against those deadly surges.

Agnus Dei – Angelos Best described as
“angel prayers set to music,” Agnus Dei’s
new recording pairs the meditative soundscapes of
Gerald Krampl with a booklet featuring the post-humously
published poetry of his wife, Hilde. While the music is
all-instrumental, many European listeners have reported
that they enjoy reading the prayer selections while
listening to the music recording for a different quality
of contemplative experience. Krample’s tunes
feature delicate, uplifting, classical-influenced piano
music with ambient textures and sonic embellishments. A
bit more percussive and melodically uplifting that Agnus
Dei’s previous recordings, ANGELOS will appeal to
fans of Rick Wakeman, David Lanz, David Arkenstone,
Kitaro, etc., as well as those who enjoy the classic
styling of Lizst or Mozart. Indigo Music Production, www.indigomusic.at

a Canadian were in a terrible car accident. They were all
brought to the same emergency room, but all three of them
died before they arrived. Just as they were about to put
the toe tag on the American, he stirred and opened his
eyes. Astonished, the doctors and nurses present asked
him what happened. “Well,” said the American,
“I remember the crash, and then there was a
beautiful light, and then the Canadian and the Scot and I
were standing at the gates of heaven. St. Peter
approached us and said that we were all too young to die,
and said that for a donation of $50, we could return to
earth. So of course I pulled out my wallet and gave him
the $50, and the next thing I knew I was back here.” “That’s
amazing!” said one of the doctors, “But what
happened to the other two?” “Last I saw them,” replied the American, “the Scot was haggling over the price and the Canadian was waiting for the government to pay his.
