I've had it for over a year and NEVER had a dropped connection or a synchronization issue with the 5 zones I run. I know it isn't addressed in the review (and not really applicable for it) but I think the biggest selling point for Sonos is the multi-speaker/zone Network connection. However for an audiophile with a large hi-res library, Sonos probably isn't for you. If you are just using Sonos for streaming, I'm fairly certain that all of the services (including Qobuz or Tidal) are limited to 16bit/44.1 khz so the sound conversion shouldn't be an issue. IOS remote app is more intuitive than many of the others that I've used including iPeng and Audirvana remote. It works great in the apple ecosystem but perhaps not as well with Android. (AP) - This is the story of a mischievous mutt who turned out to be a very good girl.Click to expand.I agree with this. Such a good girl, in fact, that she saved a life.
Ruby, an Australian shepherd and border collie mix, ended up in a Rhode Island animal shelter as a pup because of persistent behavioral problems. Five families adopted her in turn, only for each to return her because she was too rambunctious. “She was a total knucklehead,” said shelter volunteer and dog trainer Patricia Inman, who repeatedly intervened to keep Ruby from being euthanized. She was special, and she needed a special person.”Įnter state police Cpl. Daniel O’Neil, who needed a search-and-rescue dog. In 2011, he was taken by an eight-month-old Ruby’s irrepressible energy and intelligence, and after Inman vouched for her, she was trained as a police K-9.įast-forward to October 2017, when this tale takes an incredible twist: A teenage boy got lost for 36 hours while hiking, and Ruby succeeded where a human search party failed - she found the boy, who was unconscious and in grave medical condition. “Rescued by Ruby,” premiering March 17 on Netflix, tells the story of a problematic pooch who just needed another shot. O’Neil, who’s played in the Netflix film by “The Flash” actor Grant Gustin, said he hopes people will consider adopting a shelter dog. “If you show them love and compassion and you give them a certain type of stability, they’ll show their true colors,” he said. Partners for 11 years, O’Neil and Ruby have teamed up on numerous successful rescues and helped convict two murderers based on evidence Ruby sniffed out.

They’ve also shared some rough days: In 2020, a drunk driver slammed into their cruiser. Ruby escaped unscathed O’Neil broke five ribs. Underscoring the dangers of the work, Massachusetts last month enacted a new law to let first responders treat police dogs injured in the line of duty. “Nero’s Law” was named for the K-9 partner of Yarmouth police Sgt. Sean Gannon, fatally shot in 2018 while serving an arrest warrant. Nero also was shot but state law didn’t allow EMTs to treat him. He recovered and now lives with Gannon’s widow. Meanwhile, Ruby being Ruby, there’s still the occasional misadventure. Three years ago, she bolted near a state park, prompting a 19-hour search before turning up safe and sound. More recently, after O’Neil let her out to relieve herself, she returned with a live skunk writhing - and spraying - in her jaws. Ruby’s a down-home girl, not a Hollywood celeb,” wrote Rhode Island Monthly, which featured Ruby and O’Neil in a cover story for its “Rhode Islanders of the Year” edition.
“She represents something true and beautiful: We can achieve great things, no matter where we started out in life.The story: Harry Moses Horwitz is better known to us as Moe, the Stooge and vaudevillian. He died of lung cancer at age 77 while writing his autobiography (and apparently not enough letters) his wife died months later and they were buried together. Moe had seen his brother Curly die tragically in 1952.
Eddie Deezen's fantastic article The Final Years of Curly (of Three Stooges Fame) tells the story of Curly's life, including this passage:īy the end, Curly could only communicate with Moe by squeezing his hand, sometimes just by blinking his eyes. The hospital supervisor told Moe that Curly’s physical and mental deterioration was causing the hospital inconvenience and suggested that Moe move him to a mental institution.
