Key to winning ANY UGA game for Richt is get a 100 yard rusher. richt's won over 40 out of 45 games when that happens. I look for Ealey to dominate, as he usually does when he's the go-to RB.

Georgia needs to go out of state to get more committed ballplayers. Stop pandering to the in-state hotshot recruits that are all swagger and no committment – hard work and dedication seem to be the solution to success in the SEC. Just review who have been standouts and check where they have come from.

Sword and board looks like a winner to me, I'm much more excited about that than shockwave which is the higher skill for prot tree on warriors.
It's very early to tell but the change of shield slam to a trainable skill and alterations to the use of shield block will hopefully make playing as a prot warrior a very different experience.
Vigilance looks interesting for none level cap situations. Would like to see how it would work out in a two tank situation with the extra taunts as opposed to threat generation if you are overgeared and having trouble keeping rage up.
On other classes penance, the 51 point Discipline talent for priests, looks pretty handy. Might move a few builds in that direction.

If you haven't read the article you should do so, I thought it was rather amusing considering our court systems.
"Law Day"
"In the State of Alabama and acknowledge the importance of our legal and judicial systems with appropriate ceremonies and activities, and to display the flag of the United States and our state in support of this educational observance.
Given Under My Hand and the Great Seal of the Office of the Governor at the State Capitol in the City of Montgomery on the 9th day of April 2010."
Governor Bob Riley
Please, spare us the bullshit I think we know you by now. You are the asshole that has ran our state into the ground for the past 8 years. You have spent money on things that were NOT needed. You have funded things that did not need funding. You filed law suits, and put many people out of work. You have NO clue about our legal and judicial systems, they are completely fucked up. Our judicial branch has turned out to be a complete joke being ran by morons.
"WHEREAS, Each time we recite the Pledge of Allegiance, we renew our commitment to providing the benefits of liberty and the reality of justice for all;" Pardon me, the "reality" of justice for all. How does reciting the Pledge of Allegiance do all that, when over half of our society doesn't even get heard? You must be referring to those you have sculpted and molded to be just like you and the rest of the fucking morons within the judicial branch.

Anita Kunz Solo Show – Italy
Gallery House artist, Anita Kunz and Canadian darling is opening a solo show titled " The Bestiary" which is scheduled alongside fellow Ray Caesar solo show "The Trouble with Angels" for an opening reception on February 14, 2014 at 7:00 pm for the public reception at the Dorothy Circus Gallery Rome, Italy with both artists in attendance.
Anita Kunz has been widely published for over three decades on an international platform. Kunz's paintings have been concerned with political systems, social justice and the human relationship to nature. Her newer body of work concerns the animal kingdom and and how we relate to and live within it. The Bestiary is a special curated exhibition showcasing a comprehensive exploration of beasts both found in rural and city locations and those fantastical mythical creatures that are only discovered in the land of Kunz. She believes that since we share an enormous amount of genetic material with other creatures and by comparing and contrasting, we can begin to understand our very nature.
Anita is highly collected in many institutions these include the permanent collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Rome; Norman Rockwell Museum and showcased in several art fairs across the UK and more. She has received the Order of Canada, her country's highest civilian honour and was the first Canadian and the first woman to have a show of her work at the Library of Congress in Washington. She has also recently received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal of Honour.

Cat Art Show LA Announced
On Saturday, January 25th, 2014, CAT ART SHOW LOS ANGELES will debut with over 50 globally recognized artists, including Tracey Emin, Shepard Fairey, Jonathan Yeo, Ray Caesar, and Anita Kunz.
CAT ART SHOW LOS ANGELES is both a meditation and a celebration of the feline form. This exhibition goes beyond heralding felines as domesticated companion, and instead explores their role as muse and inspiration. Aloof one moment and adoring the next, their behavior alone is a constant source of artistic fodder destined for reinterpretation. Then there is their adroit physicality; be it lounging languorously across our still unread newspaper, or their instinctive predatory sensibilities.

Truth, Light & Matter – Oct 3rd Annual Exhibit in Toronto Canada
Our Annual exhibition opened on October 3, 2013 and continues until November 23, 2013 with hours and appointments listed under the Contact section. It's been an incredible year –at Gallery House we are currently unlike other existing entities in the art world. We only cater to senior and high end established artists to help grow and foster their work.
Sometimes I feel as if the concept is so new it is difficult to clearly understand what this actually means. We are different because we ensure constant prominence and exhibition is taking place internationally as Gallery House deliberately partners with commercial galleries, institutions and special projects to exhibit the artists works. We manage all the nitty gritty details from strategic planning, communication, negotiation, media/reproduction, contracts, appraisal, insurance, shipping, coordination from concept to exhibition to collection of funds and return. Together with the artists we handle their inventory distribution and ensure rotation of the works of art. As such, the artist is alleviated from the above and can focus on creating their best works.
The venture was formed after working in the fine art world for over 12 years in institutions, as a consultant, commercial galleries and art fairs. Fine arts is a passion of mine and Gallery House over the few years has garnered attention from some of the top institutions including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, US and Bristol Arts Museum, England and numerous partnered galleries in over 8 countries and growing.
Gallery House means we value our artists and our passion inspries us to bring you the best work while insuring the integrity of the artists rights are intact.
Thank you for believing and supporting us.

Anita Kunz covered by Tracey Paleo, Gia On the Move
Some time ago, artist Anita Kunz managed by Gallery House, Toronto Canada, appeared on GOTMLA. Her highly raw and sexual rendition of Red Riding Hood galloping atop a blood thirsty wolf was certainly an attention getter. And I've been intrigued ever since with this woman who has been creating provocative paintings and cover art for print magazines like Time, The New Yorker, Fortune and Rolling Stone for decades as well as portraiture for iconic celebrities. I wanted to discover more. Below is Anita's personal take on her contributions to the art world and a few bits more…

Legal Writing Program
Our Legal Reasoning, Research, and Writing Program (LRRW) is one of the schools greatest academic strengths. Students report that they are well prepared for their research and writing responsibilities in a variety of legislative, judicial, and practice settings. In addition, the program has developed a national reputation among LRRW teaching professionals as one of the best in the country. One key to the success of the program is having high-quality, full-time LRRW faculty members. Another key is having a total of six credits over three semesters allocated to the program. The most important key to the success of the program continues to be the effort that our students put into it.
Legal Reasoning, Research, and Writing
The centerpiece of the law schools legal writing program is Legal Reasoning, Research, and Writing I (LRRW), a four-credit, year-long course taught during the first year. LRRW introduces students to some fundamentals of legal reasoning, to the basic sources and processes of legal research, and to some basic forms of legal writing, including objective memoranda of law, client opinion letters, and trial court motion practice briefs. The reasoning skills taught include the standard law school fare of rule-based or syllogistic reasoning, analogical reasoning, case analysis, factual analysis, synthesizing and distinguishing cases, the use of policy in the law, and principles of statutory construction. The full range of legal research skills is introduced, including both hard-copy research skills and computer- assisted legal research skills in primary and secondary materials.
Legal Writing II
The second legal writing course, Legal Writing II (LW II), is a two-credit, semester-long course taken either in the fall or spring of the second year. The various aspects of legal reasoning, research, and writing that were introduced and practiced in LRRW are reinforced and deepened during LW II.
Legal Writing III, Scholarly Writing Requirement
A scholarly writing requirement is the integral to the third part of the LRRW Program. While LRRW and LW II focused primarily on practice-oriented aspects of legal reasoning, research, and writing, the LW III requirement focuses on scholarly legal writing. This part of the program is not a particular course and is not taught by the LRRW faculty. Instead, it is a significant scholarly writing assignment during which each student is required to complete in-depth research in a specialized area wherein the issues involved are fully analyzed, and in which supportable conclusions are articulated. Although the entire LRRW program is demanding, students have responded favorably and consider it an important and effective part of their preparation for the practice of law.

Jon and Spencer6 Reviews
"This is going to be one long game."
"All I'm saying is that it's fucking weird that they call them tooth faeries." Spencer said while he rolled his eyes.
"Spencer, their called that because they eat the teeth first."
"Brendon will side with me." Spencer said with a smirk.
"Even so, we all know that Ryan is the folklore nerd and will tell you off." Jon said with a small smirk.
"Speaking of, why hasn't he answered the door?" Spencer knocked on the door, Jon peering into the window.
"Maybe we should just go in?" Jon suggested as he found the key to the small flat hiding in a rock next to a plant nearby.
Spencer nodded. "Yeah, they're probably stuck in the washroom or something." As he said it the two broke out into large grins, both laughing as Jon opened the door.
"All right, I'll go look for them if you raid the fridge for drinks." Spencer smirked.
"Sounds like a plan." Spencer walked off into the kitchen, digging through Brendon's beer as he looked for Ryan's vodka. Jon wondered around the flat, checking the open bedroom, walking down the hall to check the studio. He knocked on the washroom, getting no response.
"Ryyyyyan! Brendon!" He called as he walked back to the living room. Spencer walked back in, bottle and shot glasses in hand.
"I'm guessing you couldn't find them?" Spencer muttered as he put his findings down on the coffee table.
"Oh hey, I remember getting this shot glass for Ryan." Jon said with a laugh as he picked it up. "Remember how I would go to a souvenir store for every state we went to when we were on tour and I got him a glass from each store?" Spencer laughed nodding.
"And Brendon always helped by trying to find lighters that he would like."
"Help? That kid broke half of the glasses before I found one that would work." Jon said as the two laughed.
"Do you wanna call them while I order pizza?" Spencer asked. Jon nodded, walking into the other room, digging his phone out of his pocket. He called Ryan's cellphone, waiting for him to pick up. When it went straight to voice-mail he tried Brendon's. Nothing.
"Hey Spence, I don't think their here." Jon called as he walked back into the living room. Spencer was staring at the TV that had been left on.
"You know, Ryan never leaves the TV on if their going to do something." He muttered. Jon looked at him, his brows furrowing.
"What do you mean?"
"Look." Spencer pointed to the TV, and Jon walked over to him, sitting down before looking at the TV's screen. "You want to know why they aren't in their apartment, their in the game." Jon picked up one of the controllers, pressing play.
"Put that headset on, and pick up the controller. I feel like we should see if this is just a well programed game or if there's something wrong and their actually...."
"In the game?" Brendon said, looking himself up and down.
"How the hell did we get here?" Ryan muttered as he looked himself up and down.
"What. The. Fuck." Spencer said as he stared at them.
"Try moving Brendon forward." Jon said with a large grin. Spencer moved the analogue stick forward, which in turn forced Brendon to walk forward and into Ryan.
"Ha, we get to control them like their actual characters." Spencer said with a large smirk.
"Great, now figure out a way to get us out of here." Ryan yelled.
Jon laughed a little. "Can you guys see us?"
"No, but we can hear you." Brendon said.
"Right then, who do you think we get them out?" Spencer asked as he looked over at Jon.
"Well, we could try ejecting the disk."
"But we would still be stuck on it." Ryan stated.
"We could just turn off the system." Spencer suggested.
"Then we would be deleted forever." Ryan said as he put his head in his hands. "Our lives are in the hands of two incompetent fools." He muttered. Jon hit the A button, forcing Ryan to jump. Everyone laughed, watching Ryan jump up and down as Jon continued to press the button.
"Yeah, what's your guess Ryan?" Jon asked as he continued to push the A button over and over.
"I." Ryan jumped. "Will tell." Jon pressed the A button. "You." He jumped again before screaming. "Ifyouquitpressingthatfuckingbutton!" Jon stopped and Ryan sighed, trying to catch his breath. "Okay, why don't we try playing through the game?" Everyone stayed silent.
"That could work." Spencer said as he stared at the screen.
"It seems probable." Jon added.
"Let's do this!" Brendon said with a large grin, giving Ryan a large hug.
Ryan sighed. "I'm guessing that the fact that Brendon and I can't move our legs is because you guys are controlling us. Which means that you have to play us through the game. But four people working on each puzzle should make it go faster, right?" Everyone stayed silent once more.
"Oh god, Spencer, let Jon play me." Brendon begged. Jon and Ryan laughed, Spencer looking offended.
"Am I really not good enough for you Brendon?" Spencer said with a large frown.
"It's just that Jon's better at gaming." Brendon said almost silently, trying to defend himself while trying to not hurt Spencer any more than he already had. Ryan and Jon kept laughing.
"Yeah Brendon? You really want to say that to the person that can make you walk off a cliff?" Spencer said as he started to move Brendon over to the edge of the walkway, getting ready to force him to walk off of it.
"No!" Ryan screamed, stopping Spencer. "You can't do that. We don't know if that will kill him or not. We could only have this once chance to live and you don't want to kill Brendon here if it'll kill him in the real world to, right?" Spencer nodded.
"All right. So we'll try to not allow you to die." Jon said with a nod. "Good luck Brendon." He muttered. Ryan laughed a little.
"You're an average gamer Spencer." Ryan said with a small laugh, Jon also laughing lightly.
"Okay, let's get the fuck out of this game!" Brendon said excitedly.
"Wait, before we start. Ryan, why do they call them tooth faeries." Spencer asked. Ryan sighed a little.
"This is going to be one long game." He muttered.
Okayokayokayokay. So it's been forever since I wrote the first chapter for this story, and I've realized that it has a high rating and a lot of positive reviews (thank those of you who reviewed by the way) so I'm going to go back to it and try and finish it up. I feel kind of bad for ignoring it for such a long time. Forgiveness?
And some more good news about stories that I've been ignoring for the past...forever, I'm working on the next chapter of Life is Full of False Hopes (longest tittle ever), along with a few other old stories that I started and never finished because they weren't exactly popular and because I ended up losing interest in them. So that's good news, right?
Okay, this authors note is excessively long, and I'm just going to guess that most of you have stopped reading it by now, so I'm going to tell you a little secret, I'm a ninja. Just kidding, that's ridiculous.
Promise to update some other stories old and new sometime soon. Oh, and while I'm on new stories (this is a really long note, sorry), I'm starting on a new horror story! Yay. It'll probably be NC-17 because it's REALLY violent. But that's not going to get posted for another few weeks.
All right, I'm going to stop typing this now, because I'm sure that no one really cares as long as I update whatever the hell I want whenever I want. So I guess that's that.
-xoxo Pansy.

Thanks! Def classic & great advice
I wasn't sure if it was a MM thing or what! LOL
Hahaha Sounds tempting...
Here is how to do it Monty Python style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhJQp-q1Y1s
Yep. Happens all the time. Just ignore him & move on. Facebook has been messing up fan pages for a while.
And you're starting a Forum thread about somebody 'un-liking' you on facebook?
When I start getting paid based on my FB "likes", I'll worry about it. I'm pleased if someone likes my work, but I don't play games with it.
I'm almost certain that I'd never notice if someone "unliked" my FB page.
+1 (but I would spell it enemies")
Maybe they meant to say "enemas."

I don't think her posting this hurt you.
You can always ignore it... right?
Dear T H Taylor
Thank you, you've made me see the error of my ways. I'm not sure what came over me when I wrote that response. On reflection it was possibly the result of the momentary hilarity I found swelling in my bosom at the thought of a 'real' business woman taking the time out of her busy 'business' schedule to post a thread to total strangers on a website about being 'unliked' on facebook.
I apologise, I have my sense of perspective totally upside down and back to front. You are of course again correct - I should have just ignored it. I'm sorry.
You're 32 years old and this high school petty stuff is of concern to you?
What is your problem?
Oh, it's GO TIME!
Hehehe. Lets leave it in the playground.
My thoughts exactly lol.

Vinyl siding plays a very important role in any home. Not only can it help protect your home against tough weather conditions, but it can also help insulate your home better. In the long run, it'll help you reduce your energy cost and allow you to save some money. Vinyl siding is also very environmentally friendly. It's energy-efficient, produces less waste materials during manufacture and installation, and needs less maintenance compared to wood siding.
However, just because vinyl siding doesn't need that much maintenance like wood siding does, it doesn't mean that you don't have to give it a regular cleaning. You still have to clean it once in a while to maintain your home's value and prevent mold and mildew from growing on it.
If you have a pressure washer at home, then use it. Pressure washing your home's vinyl siding is the best way to clean it.
Make Sure the Setting and Cleaning Product is Appropriate
Before you use the equipment, see to it that the setting is set right. Adjust the nozzle and start at a low-pressure mode. If you're unsure, check your owner's manual and see to it that you're using the appropriate setting for vinyl siding.
In addition to checking your setting, you also need to make sure that you're using the right cleaning product for the machine. So before you purchase cleaning products for your pressure washer, always check the label of the box and see to it that it can be used safely for your machine.
Prepare the Area to be Washed
If there are cracks in the vinyl siding, then seal them up first before you use pressure washer on them. Not only can the water's force widen the cracks, but it'll also drench the area. Water will seep into the cracks, and the trapped moisture can speed up the deterioration process of the wall. Of note though; allow the sealant to thoroughly dry first before you give the vinyl siding a good washing. To be sure, one week's time is enough for the sealant to dry.
If there are no cracks or if one week has passed and the sealant is dry, cover the surrounding plants to protect them against the water spray. You also need to remove flower pots from the area as well as relocate patio furniture. In addition to this, close all the doors and windows, and if there are any electrical outlets near the areas to be washed, then cover them with plastic. You don't want them to get wet.
Proper Power Washer Technique
In cleaning the vinyl siding using a power washer, always start from top to bottom. This way, dirty water will run down and prevent streaking. You also need to wash from left to right.
If there are stains too difficult to remove, then simply use a brush. Scrub away at the stain in a circular motion, starting from the inside of the stain to the outside. Take care though that you don't damage the vinyl siding.
Power washing your vinyl siding saves you a lot of time, but if you don't have this machine, then rent one or get in touch with your local cleaner and have the siding professionally washed.

Impact Of Negative Super Pac Ads Appears Damaging In New Dan Jones Poll
With Cease and Desist letters sent to all Utah stations, Reyes, who continues to receive meaningful endorsements, remains hopeful for a positive outcome next Tuesday
SALT LAKE CITY—June 22, 2012—According to Utah Attorney General Candidate Sean Reyes, the last 10 days of negative Super PAC attack ads, with a spend run of approximately $10,000 per day across local stations, spearheaded by the out-of-state "It's Now or Never PAC" and Swallow's push polling and false, negative attacks throughout the AG race have skewed the Dan Jones poll results issued today. The Reyes campaign has issued Cease and Desist letters to each Utah TV and radio station airing the Super PAC hit pieces.
According to Dan Jones, approximately one quarter of voters is still undecided in the Utah Attorney General's race. Momentum continues to build for Reyes' campaign with the recent endorsement of Assistant Attorney General Karl Perry, who penned an Op Ed detailing his support for Reyes in The Herald Journal. Perry cites Reyes' real-life experience, sound judgment, and ability to make hard, bias-free decisions as the basis for his endorsement.
"I will continue to make every effort to ensure that my message and vision for the AG's office resonates with every Utahn through June 26," said Reyes. "I am the real attorney in this race with the leadership and experience to return the AG's office into the law office it should be."
Commenting on the uphill battle the negative attack ads have created, Reyes notes, "In light of knowing that the Super PAC ads are false, I hope voters, regardless of whether they feel they have decided or not, will take two minutes to visit my website and learn more about the 'real me' before they cast their vote on June 26."

Customer comments about Taft 90" Sofa:
The sofa is solid and beautiful, and the fabric is nice and soft. It is on the firmer side, but I still find it very comfortable. I was initially concerned about how it would hold up to stains from my dog and baby, but I was able to easily clean up small stains with a little water and a microfiber cloth. I have also had to flip the back cushions every week or two to keep them from looking slouchy, but I feel this is normal sofa maintenance.

I am from Iran and I want to confirm what Paymaan mentioned on February 9. what he said was exactly my case, untill last night and everything is back to normal now. I use DSL and I have lost my connection, only and only, with American servers. I could open all non-American websites without problem, and also those American website which use multiple servers around the world. For example, I could open Google News, But not Gmail. So, I switched to Ultrasurf and Freegate to reach my mailbox. what these proxies do is to carry data to Americas from East and Asia instead of the usual westward route.
ATTENTION: Iran is not disconnected!
Let me repeat, Iran is not disconnected from the Internet!
We have gotten a few queries about why we did not highlight Iran in our review of the network outages that resulted from the cable breaks. (See here, here and here.) Like most countries in the region, the outages in Iran were very significant, but for the most part they did not exceed 20% of their total number of networks. Now 20% is a significant loss, but in the context of an event where countries lost almost all of their connectivity, such a loss did not place Iran into the top 10 of impacted countries. So we focused most of our attention where the losses where the highest.
But then there was this Slashdot posting, claiming Iran had zero connectivity. This was news to us. It's said that "the first casualty of war is truth." Something similar can probably be said with regard to catastrophic failures. Truth might not be first, but it is a very close second. Journalists are pushed to meet deadlines for stories about topics for which they have little familiarity, and technical experts sometimes jump to conclusions on the basis of little evidence. It's not hard to see why the truth gets distorted; it's hard to think clearly when you believe the sky is falling.
The Slashdot claim was made since a web page at the Internet Traffic Report was reporting that the country was down. This report seems to be based on pings to a single router in Iran from multiple places around the world, which at best only indicates that one router in Iran is unavailable, not that the entire Internet has ceased to function there. Of course, once something ends up "in print", it tends to gain credibility and then be referenced by others. And before long, large numbers of people think it is actually true. (For a detailed ping analysis to the region during the outage, see this article.)
To understand what happened in Iran after the fiber cuts, we looked at actual routing data for the country, collected from around the globe. You can say with absolute certainty that if a provider does not have a route to any network in Iran, then no traffic will flow from that provider or its customers to Iran. But that is all you can say. The problem could be with the provider. That is why Renesys collects routes from a carefully selected set of peers around the world. If none of them know how to get to Iran, then you can be assured that Iran is truly off the air. Note that you have to be careful here with your selection of peers. If all of them end up traversing the same cable to get to Iran, even when other options exist, then the problem could be only with that cable and nothing more. To make a definitive statement about the worldwide reachability of any geography, you need to collect data from a diverse and at least somewhat independent set of peers so that you'll see all paths into the area. When the overwhelming majority of them have the same view of a situation, then you can conclude that the view is almost certainly correct for the entire world.
So back to Iran. In the following graph, we plotted the availability of Iranian networks for four entire days, 30 January 00:00 UTC until 3 February 00:00 UTC. The first day is the day of the cable cuts. Of the 695 networks that geo-locate to Iran, at no time were more than 199 unavailable, as observed by large number of Renesys peers. A few peers here and there might not have been able to reach Iran for local reasons, but the vast majority of the world could get to most of the networks in Iran for this entire time period. Note also that around 64 networks were unavailable before the event even started. These networks could be simply unused at this time. In other words, at most 135 networks that were active before the cable cuts disappeared for at least a short while during the outages.
|Global Reachability of Iranian Networks
So much for Iran being off the Internet. Again, this is not to imply that Iran was not impacted by this event. A lot of networks were unavailable and some of them continue to be so. The end users of those networks are certainly noticing the problem and everyone in the country might be experiencing a slowdown due to the decrease in bandwidth to the region. Still, Iran fared much better than most.
I just read this morning that a Cable carrying a percentage of China's internet traffic was cut/down.Sorry i do not have the website.But I did see the article.The time zone thing may be keeping this from general awareness.
Internet Traffic Report website is monitoring a router belongs to IUST university witch is no longer exists. it was removed more than a month ago and they did not update it so far, so even before fiber connection problem, according to their report Iran was 100% disconnected. as Iran has a fiber link to Turkey it was not affected like other countries in Persian Gulf region, also SingTel is working fine. I just add a new router to ITR and hope they add it ASAP.
It is generally thought that tapping of fibre communications is not possible. This is not the case. Tapping fibre optic connections is not difficut if the intruder can gain access to the fibre itself. By introducing a bend of radius of 5 mm into the fibre and collection of light emitted at the bend by the signal carried on the fibre, light from the signal may be collected. Related difficulties are 1) access to the fibre and 2) deconstrucion the communication protocal and decrypting the code. The US has the capability to do both including interdiction of undersea cables via specially equipt submarine. These observations are important for all parties using international communications. Major governments are aware of the reality of fibre security but many private parties belive it is secure. It is unlikely that interruption of Internet communications in the Middle East and Asia are due to US spying as the US is capable of undetected intrusion. This does not mean that syping is not the cause of the interruptions. Less capable intruders may be behind these events. Alan Keizer Director of Engineering FibreFab Limited Milton Keynes
Hi everybody, I am from Iran. So let's see an insider's view of what have happened, without looking at charts and graphs first. Since the day cables were cut off, every connection seems strange. I mean, emails get through from my server in the US, torrents can be downloaded, but I can not connect to my own webserver in the US, without problems. I connect through ADSL, but yesterday I tried dial-up, and it worked much better and faster. I compared the ping from dial up and ADSL, and both had a high packet loss of up to over 80% at Iranian exit route and Turkey's exit route. I have tried the same website through the Freegate, and it is flawless and almost fast. (Right now I am writing this though Freegate. So, Some other things might be wrong, maybe data in between is being altered, maybe diconnection is from somewhere else, etc. I have not yet figured it out, but it is really serious, I can not connect to most western sites without several tries and then pages don't download fully or correctly. Paymaan.
Fifth undersea cable cut? So now we're up to five cables cut? DUBAI - An estimated 1.7 million Internet users in the UAE have been affected by the recent undersea cable damage, an expert said yesterday, quoting recent figures published by TeleGeography, an international ...
Heres the deal....About 50% of the middle eastern internet traffic...Like mine is done through satelite NOT underwater cables...So if all the cables were cut there would still be internet, Most of the companies use satelites as a backup anyway.
Once, sure. Twice, Maybe. Three? Four!?! Much of the Middle East has been without reliable internet access recently due to the somewhat suspicious cutting of four seperate underwater cables, in seperate locations, within a few days o
Many Eggs, Few Baskets: Understanding the fiber cable cuts... (updated: "fifth cable") The Fiber Cuts in the Middle East are getting a lot of attention. The economic damage is real and the geopolitical issues are extremely complex (which is why I edited my earlier post). From an operations perspective these kinds of...
I hear there are now at least six cables damaged: SeaMeWe4 and FLAG near Alexandria, Egypt, another FLAG off Dubai, Q-Tel between UAE and Qatar, another cut of SeaMeWe4 near Penang, Malaysia, and a FALCON near Bandar Abbas, Iran. The information comes from here: http://www.albawaba.com/en/countries/uae/221875 Can you confirm the new accidents and update your maps of affected countries?
Thanks very much for this posting ! I, too, was taken in by the Slashdot/Internet Traffic Report articles. The problem seems to be the very limited number of providers - in Iran, only one - surveyed by Internet Traffic Report.... Thanks, once again, for clearing up the misunderstanding !... Henri
Update on Middle East Cable Cuts Here are some updates on the cable cuts affecting the Middle East, which are the focus of much discussion and speculation.
For those of you concerned with Internet connectivity in Iran and Turkey, the following map could be of interest ... http://taeint.net/en/network/middle/ TTnet is one of the two largest providers into Iran. SingTel being the other.
The internet is down, please wait.... This posting is mostly for my friends who may or many not be internet-savvy enough to know how to look past all the fear mongering and hyperbole that's been put out there by media regarding the recent network cable breaks overseas. I will try to sum

Schnipp-Schnapp, Kabel ab Ein guter Teil des Mittelmeerraumes wird langsam aber sicher vom Netz abgeklemmt, dabei sind mindestens zwei Hauptkabel betroffen. Kann so etwas noch Zufall sein?! Nur warum? Mehr dazu Cable Break Cable Break Part II Cable Break Part III Der Iran
Schon wieder ein Seekabel im Mittleren Osten unterbrochen von Fredy K\xFCnzler Angeblich bereits das vierte Seekabel innert Wochenfrist wurde gem\xE4ss Medienberichten im Mittleren Osten unterbrochen. Selbstverst\xE4ndlich sind die Spekulationen am laufen, ob es bloss Zufall sei oder doch das Handwerk von Terroristen.
What I find amazing is the limited amount of connectivity in the middle eastern region at the moment. Alcatel/Lucent and the like will probably be on the first plane out this weekend to convince people they need more fibres going in and out. Governments who want to play a role in the information society will probably want to get more fibre routes coming into their country. I don't think market parties will play the role to provide enough connectivity. They don't want to oversupply a country. but oversupply on multiple routes is necessary to protect against total connectivity failure. I blogged a bit about it.

Have You Ever Wondered Why?
What is happening in your life today is a result of your own decisions and actions. This applies to all our decisions and actions – present and past. There is no one else to blame.
Most people don't understand that every thought we have and every action creates karma and shapes our destiny. All of our thoughts have wings. If your thoughts are positive, then you will create good karma and positive outcomes in your life. If they are negative then you will create bad karma, and unwanted outcomes.
So, basically, if you look at your life you see the results of your choices and decisions. Whatever your life is today, it is what you have manifested, with or without your knowing, by your own thoughts, and actions.
The vibrations of mental forces are the finest and consequently the most powerful in existence ~ Charles Haanel
So, with that being said, what do you want your life to look like in the future? Are you content to continue down the same path, or do you desire change?
You can create the life that you want by just becoming more aware of your thoughts and manifesting more purposefully. Understand that some of the negative things that you believe, or think, are often things that you may have been taught as a child. These false beliefs and negative ideas can be creating the life that you have now and you may not even know it.
Life is about learning, understanding, and creating. Think about what you really want in your life and create it with new thoughts and a more positive outlook on life.

This morning as I was doing my customary skipping through shuffle on the iPod I had a thought.
(For those of you who don't own an iPod, shuffle is the setting where it randomly selects an order for your thousands of music tracks and plays them for you. You can skip forward if you don't like one.)
Anyway, back to business, I had a thought.
The thought: I wonder what you can learn about someone and their mood from seeing their morning commute's shuffle activity. You will surely get a great random insight to their bad music taste. You will also see what they want to listen to, and perhaps more crucially what they rejected from their aural passages.
Here is my list for this morning:

- About Deakin
24 May 2011
Cultural diversity may be buzz words among the socially politically correct but Deakin University's Chair in Migration and Intercultural Research Professor Fethi Mansouri hopes they may create a buzz of their own right where it matters - across the world's economies.
Professor Mansouri, who is an expert in migration, social inclusion, integration and youth, has just returned from Doha where he was an expert speaker at the United Nations Alliance of Civilisations (UNAOC) forum on civil society.
The visit followed a trip to New York where Professor Mansouri was part of a six member expert panel advising the UNAOC on extending Millennium Development Goals to the inter-related areas of migration, youth and education.
The UNAOC forum was held to gain input from Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) ie NGOs, trade unions, faith-based organisations, indigenous peoples movements, on ways to connect the Alliance's core mission of improving cross-cultural relations to the Millennium Development Goals.
"What the Forum was seeking was input on the development of an index to measure the impact cultural diversity has on a country's economy and human development," Professor Mansouri said.
"It was very exciting because culture has never been used as a key variable before for development agendas and we know that cultural diversity and intercultural harmony can have a significant impact on a country's overall economic development.
"Take for example Congo and Rwanda, in both countries there has been conflict driven by ethnic tension which has had an impact on their development and their ability to achieve their development goals.
"Until such conflicts are addressed these countries are not going to be able to meet their development goals."
Professor Mansouri, said even in a stable country like Australia which had a high level of cultural diversity the contribution of such diversity and intercultural harmony to its GDP had never been measured.
"Ultimately you can take culture and look at its impacts in different contexts, for instance as a dimension for poverty eradication, for health improvements, for improved educational attainment and for combating gender bias," he said.
"Cultural diversity and multiculturalism are more than buzz words, and if the work of UNAOC is successful globally then they will become key economic factors in development programs."

Sometimes photos, and now videos, are worth more than a thousand words. Check out some of these crazy boating stunts on YouTube.
While we were fishing, a light 14' Jon boat with 4 fairly large young men pulled in and started fishing. There must have been between 4 and 6 inches of freeboard, and they persisted in standing and moving around. I nodded toward them and said to John that they were an accident looking for a place to happen. I had barely gotten that out when the boat capsized, dumping the occupants and all their gear into about 8 feet of 45-50 degree water . . .

Topic - Another dodgy elbow thread - bicep tendon (I think)
Jon Stewart - on 24 Aug 2012
OK, so like a lot people, I've got a dodgy elbow. It's not tennis nor golfers (if I understand them right), it's right in the middle of the front (crease) of the elbow, I think coming from the obvious thick bicep tendon.
Most of the advice around deals with tennis and golfers, such as this (which I understand to be the classic of the genre): http://www.athlon.com.au/articles/r&i_dodgyelbow.pdf
It hurts mainly after climbing (bouldering at bloody Almscliffe particularly...haven't they heard of footholds round there?) when doing stuff like picking up the kettle - it's not too bad while climbing. It's been like this for a few months now, but it's worse now the weather's so awful that the only climbing I'm doing is short boulder sessions, which figures.
Currently, I'm doing a couple of sets of push-ups a day and playing aimlessly with the Powerball. Stretching it a bit too. All of which seems to help, but of course if I go to Almscliffe again I'm back at square one. Thing is, when I don't have a partner and it's not raining, I don't want to rest from climbing and get sh!t and weak, because there's still a chance of getting a decent trad route or two done this year (although I'm not holding my breath).
There's got to be a compromise that'll allow me to keep climbing - it's never excruciating, so I don't think there's major damage done (although I think stuff like Virgin Traverse could change that!). It's a shame there's no crags I consider suitable for soloing round here, as I think that my old Stanage circuit of VS-E1s was really good for keeping in shape without putting the body under stress.
Any comments or advice welcome...I'm expecting "stop climbing" and "read this [article posted above]". What I'd really like is people's experience of this or similar injuries. Ta.
