Smith Point Campground
[ 9/10 ]
We have camped here 100 times at least. Here is the inside scoop. It's one of very few true beach front campgrounds. If you have looked from Maine to Virginia you might be able to find a total of a dozen campgrounds that are truly beach front with full hookups. The locals know how unique this is and getting into this campground takes technique because the locals fill it up. First, there are six sections and they vary greatly. Upper extension is the best one, with large sites that have excellent ocean water views from your camper. Lower extension and upper east is ok. We will not camp in the others: upper west was designed for tent sites but the let 38' fifth wheels shoehorn in, if they like. It looks a bit like John Goodman in a speedo. Both lower sections are commonly called the "Ghetto" where you will see a 4 man tent with 19 teenagers staying it. Its good entertainment to see them get out of the tent in the morning but, trust me you really do not want to be their neighbors. I talked about technique, well here it is. The campground reservation system allows reservations exactly six months prior to the arrival. The good sites are all reserved by five months and three weeks before the date you camp; the upper extension is 179 days prior. If you want to get in on a holiday weekend, book 180 days in advance from Tuesday to Tuesday. 180 days from Thursday to Thursday and you will be in the ghetto.

Mountaindale Cabins & RV Resort
[ 5/10 ]
I struggled to be fair in rating this CG. The CG advertises that it is family friendly, but our opinion is this CG is aimed towards the senior citizens crowd. THEY seemed thrilled with the CG. We pulled in late and went off to find our site, which had no site number. We figured it out by process of elimination. We pulled into the site and our camper was angled down towards its back and our truck was angled towards its front. There was a crest to the hill. Looking from the side you would be seeing an obtuse angle. Those with a TT will know that this will force the ball back into the brake in the trailers receiver, so disconnecting the truck from the TT was just not possible. We moved in the morning to the smallest site we have ever stayed at. So, if you are in the senior citizens crowd you'll love it, but if you have school age children pass.
Hill City, South Dakota
Mount Rushmore KOA
[ 10/10 ]
This campground is the best KOA in the system. I do not mind paying a premium if the campground is worth the money; this one is. They had a staff of about 100 with 10 of them a Christian ministry team. The staff was polite, professional and great with the kids. We had a full agenda of sightseeing and activities in the area which was a shame because the kids would have been happy just playing at the campground. They lead their horses off to their night-time coral every night, which made the entire campground stop and watch; it was a spectacular site. If you come here please learn from my mistake and plan a "down" day where the kids have a day to just play at the CG.
Ravenna, Ohio
West Branch State Park
[ 10/10 ]
We looked for a campground near the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame and the reviews were scary. We kept moving our radius out until we hit the reviews of this campground. We were sold. The campground itself is a peninsula into the lake and our site was a peninsula off of that. It had 270 degrees of waterfront. We only had one night but this campground was great. One warning there is a bridge with a huge drop off after it that we crossed leaving the campground that is NASTY. Careful going over it, 20 mph is too fast.
West Yellowstone, Montana
Yellowstone Park / West Entrance KOA
[ 5/10 ]
This campground is a great launching point for Yellowstone and Yellowstone is truly amazing. Given the location you would expect this campground to be one of the best in the KOA system. Unfortunately, it is only average. I have no problem paying for a premium site, per child fees and activity fees. I do however demand value for my money which I do not feel we got from this campground. The bathroom situation is a mess. There were lines early in the morning and up to 12 at night for the showers. At the rates they charge this is a travesty. $ 70.00 + a ton of other fees a night is top of the line pricing. At these rates they have to deliver. They have a nice patio and swing at the premium sites but this means nothing if they have not covered the basics. My wife and I have four kids and hate to go to completely unattended pools. Leaving a pool with a handful of rules posted on a sign is a recipe for disaster. We watched kids choking each over, dunking each other, and we watched one father throw his kid (for fun) onto other kids in the pool. We left after 15 minutes.
Kennebec, South Dakota
Kennebec KOA
[ 5/10 ]
This campgrounds sole existence is for overnight stays to or from the Mount Rushmore region. This means it requires 3 things to be acceptable, 1 be near the interstate, 2 be well maintained & 3 be accommodating. This CG is near the interstate and they were accommodating to a late night arrival. Maintenance on the other hand was terrible. We got in at 1:30 am after driving 880 miles that day. Their sign said something like "not for nervous drivers, mud and potholes everywhere". We pulled into the site and my wife started to argue that we were parked in the street. I could see how she thought that but according to the map we were in our site. Trust me, after 880 miles I needed that like I needed a hole in my head. I could not get the WI-FI to work so I walked into the laundry room the next morning and stood under the antenna. I was able to send a text email but uploading a single picture was too much for it.
Fort Collins, Colorado
Fort Collins / Lakeside KOA
[ 8/10 ]
This campground is potentially a gem in the rough. It is hard to find, and when you pull in there is some kind of industrial operation next to it. Once inside, it is one of the best maintained KOA's in the system. I had to keep asking if everything was band new. The staff is constantly cleaning. Our site was lake front, and when you look to the left there is a mountain range. They did misunderstand the classes they took on insurance risk management. The idea is to manage risk not change your business. I sent my 16 yr old with my two sons to rent a paddle boat, and they turned her away. You have to be eighteen to rent them!?! This is only one example of their weird rules. That is a bit like an ice cream parlor selling only warm melted ice cream because someone might get brain freeze. The staff is incredibly friendly and once they figure out that they are in the family entertainment business this campground will truly be a gem in the rough.

This is the worst campground I have (almost) stayed in. After we checked in we proceed to the site. The kid in the office drew a line to the wrong side of the pull through site. No big deal; I backed it in. When I got out of the truck to check out what adjustments would be needed, my wife and daughters came to me and said that EVERY eye in the campground was on us. I shrugged it off. What I could not shrug off was the condition of the site. There was no grass but only weeds and my TT was tilted precariously to the left. I would need to lift up the left side 12" to level this out. I looked around and there was dog dirt all over the site. I then made the mistake of walking over to a make shift fire pit, which was a truck rim with 4 pieces of scrap metal welded to make legs. When I looked inside I saw dirty sweat socks and other noxious garbage. My wife attempted to use the lavatory but left stating that they were clogged. From the tear in the corner of her eye and the dry heaves I assume she was understating the problem. This is when our fan club became very interested in us. I am guessing that they were betting on the over/under; on whether we would leave and how long it would take us to decide. No reservations and no idea where to go was a better option than staying there. I left to go the front desk. I explained that these conditions were unacceptable. Their response? " That not my concern". I then asked a simple question "you do not care because you're an employee or you're the owner who does not care about his business". His ego required that he tell me that he was the owner. He then reversed the credit card transaction. On my walk back I came upon kids jumping over a drainage ditch which appeared to have raw sewage in it. Upon jumping in my truck I looked at the campground map, only to realize that if I followed it, it would lead us up an embankment that would flip the camper on its side. I then noticed one of our fan club (whose camper was a landscaping trailer with an awning BTW), was not happy that we were leaving, perhaps she bet on the over?

You would make a good minion if not for that repulsive love you have for that vile demon which tremendously excels your devotion to Императрица Мария. Even the fact that your favourite artist is Katy Perry could have been overlooked but being a devotee of The Shrieking Demon is unforgivable!

There's a big flaw in this final battle, where if you place a magikill with
2 upgrades in minions behind the giant (so near the enemies base), he'll
keep on spawning minions, and the giant is unable to press forward.

Pos: Elusive pass catcher who also impacts the game as a return specialist. Sharp route runner that displays quickness into breaks, stays low on exit and gets separation from opponents. Adjusts well to the errant throw and slippery running after the catch. Goes over the middle and extends to pull the pass from the air. Displays good eye\hand coordination.
Neg: Cannot take a pounding and hold onto the throw. Seemingly played his best football as a sophomore.
Analysis: A versatile prospect who can produce in a variety of ways, Green nicely projects as a middle round pick. A third receiver at the next level who must earn his wage on special teams.

TechNet Plus Question
If this has been answered somewhere else, let me know...did not see any recent topics.
My question is this: I am a sharepoint developer (2007 for now) - with the recent release of windows 7 and news from the SharePoint conference that you can now develop on non-server machines, I need to setup my own development environment to learn SP.
So I need: Win 7 x64, SQL 2008 x64, SharePoint 2010, and Visual Studio 2010 at a minimum. I want to be legit, and have looked at the TechNet Plus, but I do not see visual studio on the list of apps. Will there be a fee "lite" version of VS2010 x64?
Any ideas/thoughts may help. Short of a full MSDN, is there any way to do this?
|My System Specs
|20 Oct 2009
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I don't think so. In order to get Visual Studio...you gotta move up to the far more costly MSDN subscription I'm afraid.

A tablet is a great device for doing just about anything you can imagine —playing video games, surfing the net, seeing what your Facebook friends are up to or watching videos— but many of these activities require an Internet connection. No problem at home, but what happens when you go mobile? How can you keep playing Simpsons:Tapped Out, watching YouTube or checking your News Feed when your tablet is no longer connected to your home network? In this post, I'll show you how to access Wi-Fi on your tablet, from virtually anywhere.
Tablets are great devices for doing many things. They truly are the embodiment of multi-purpose technology. You can use a tablet to watch videos, play games, read books, surf the web, take photos, listen to music, participate in a video conference or write a report. But there is a huge range of options to choose from and despite the fact that they're all "multi-purpose" devices, some tablets are better suited from some purposes than others. In this post, I single out tablets that have a reputation for being ideal for different activities.
It was only a few years ago —2010 to be exact— when choosing which size of tablet display was an exercise in simplicity. You really only had one choice. Apple's original iPad was released that year, it immediately dominated the category and its display was 9.7-inches. Today, the tablet landscape is much more diverse and display sizes are all over the map. Which size best suits your needs? In this post, I'll break down five of the most popular display sizes and what they're best suited for.
If you are someone who casually reads e-books, then you probably don't need a device like the Kobo Aura H2O. A smartphone or tablet will likely do just fine. But if you're someone like me —an avid reader who's fully committed to digital— then the new Aura H2O is the biggest news since last year's Kobo Aura HD. I've been using Kobo's latest flagship e-reader and even gone so far as dunking it in a sink full of water. Read on to see just how good this premium e-reader is.
Every time Apple release a new version of iOS —the mobile operating system that powers the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch (and behind the scenes the Apple TV)— it's a big deal. On September 17, the company began rolling out iOS 8, what it's calling "the biggest iOS release ever." What can you expect from iOS 8? Should you upgrade immediately? Here are my thoughts after I installed iOS 8 on my iPad, as well as using it for a day on a newly arrived iPhone 6.
IFA 2014 was the location for yet more high tech announcements as Sony got in the game. Among the new products from Sony are the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact (billed as the world's slimmest and lightest compact tablet), new smartphones led by the new Xperia Z3 flagship, a new Android Wear-powered Smartwatch 3 and the SmartBand Talk fitness tracker.
If there's one thing better than sitting on the beach, it's sitting on the beach with a good book. An e-book, preferably. Unfortunately water, sand and e-readers don't mix and protective cases can be a pain. Kobo has fixed that problem once and for all with the all new Kobo Aura H2O, a waterproof, sandproof and dustproof e-reader.
Technology is a big part of student life and a computer has become integral to the educational experience. Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 is a powerful device that can physically transform into a laptop form factor, becoming a true ultra-mobile alternative to a laptop or desktop PC —while offering all the advantages of a tablet.
Whether you have a iPad Air or iPad mini you'll want to keep it safe. Lifeproof now offers two new covers to protect your Air device.
Both promise to make your iPad and mini iPad waterproof, dirt proof, snow proof and shockproof. That's a lot of protection. We tested both lines to see what were their differences and whether they delivered on their protection.
Samsung continues to lead everyone but Apple in worldwide tablet sales and it's not just the sheer number of different models it offers that's the reason for that (although Samsung does offer a lot of different tablets). The company keeps upping its game and the Galaxy Tab S models are the latest example of this. Samsung sent me Galaxy Tab S 8.4 to try out and I found a lot to like about the company's thinnest and lightest tablet. Especially that Super AMOLED display. Read on for my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 review.
You've got your new iPad Air or iPad Mini and you're already inseparable. Unfortunately, the naked iPad doesn't have much protection. Get it road ready with a new cover from Logitech. This company has developed a well-deserved reputation for their tough and stylish tablet covers offering great protection without adding bulk or weight. Here are some suggestions to help you find your perfect Logitech iPad or iPad mini cover.
Apple computers have played an important role in many people's education for many years. In recent years, that emphasis has grown to include digital offerings like iTunes U —complete university courses offered through an app— and iBook textbooks for the iPad. Despite the advances in providing educationally focused digital content, Apple's computers remain at the heart of its offerings. With so many choices, how do you know which one is the right choice for you? Should you pick an iPad or a MacPro? I will walk you through the options to help you buy the right Apple computer for your needs this year.
Heading off to college or university is an exciting time. And if you're planning to live in a dorm room, it means stocking up on all of the gear you'll need for the shared living space. When it comes to a display device, one wouldn't even think of a tablet as being a full-on TV replacement. But when you consider that your home base will be such small living quarters, this becomes a real consideration. And there are advantages for each technology when it comes to both productivity and entertainment.
I recently took the time to visit Microsoft's first ever Surface Café on Toronto's Queen Street West. You can read about the session I attended where DC comic book artist (and the guy who currently draws Batman) Francis Manapul showed how Microsoft's new tablet has become an integral part of his digital workflow. But I wasn't just at the Surface Café for demonstrations and to see how the Surface Pro 3 went over with an audience largely comprised of creative professionals. This was my chance to get my hands on a Surface Pro 3 to see if it lives up to Microsoft's claims of being the tablet that can replace your laptop. Here's what I thought of it.
Last weekend I spent a few hours at the first-ever Microsoft Surface Café. Held at a hip pop-up venue on Toronto's trendy Queen Street West, the tagline for the event was: "Where creativity comes together." The workshop I attended on Saturday was headlined by Francis Manapul —the guy who's currently drawing Batman. He was onstage drawing Batman … and the Joker … using nothing but a Surface Pro 3. If you happen to be in the Montreal area next weekend, Microsoft is opening a Surface Café in that city starting on June 26 and is currently taking applications to attend the creative seminars. If the Toronto version was any indication, there will be some fascinating sessions (along with free coffee and Surface cookies).
Now that Microsoft is offering a version of its ubiquitous Office productivity suite for the iPad, Apple's tablets are even closer to being a device that can be used for getting serious work done. Mouse support and multi-window functionality in a future iOS version would be nice, but with a decent Bluetooth wireless keyboard, an iPad does a pretty good job these days. I took one of the best-known iPad keyboard solutions for a test run and was impressed by just how good the experience can be. The ZAGGkeys Folio not only offers a compelling Bluetooth keyboard, but it mounts it in a clamshell enclosure that transforms the iPad into an ultra-portable laptop. How well does the ZAGGkeys Folio work? I wrote this post (over 1,000 words) using a ZAGGkeys Folio and my iPad Mini with Retina Display and it was virtually as fast as my usual PC-based writing setup.
Mobile electronics like smartphones and tablets are great, but it doesn't matter who makes them, they all share one weak spot: the display. That big, bright screen is prone to scratches and with touch operation, it's a magnet for fingerprints. Annoying as they are, the smudges can at least be cleaned off, but once your display is scratched, it's scratched. The only real option you have is to replace it —and that is an expensive proposition. The ZAGG Invisible Shield Glass is an ultrathin slab of tempered glass you apply on top of your display for complete protection against scratches and resistance to fingerprints. I tested out versions for the iPad Mini with Retina Display and iPad Air and ZAGG Invisible Shield Glass is now on my must-have list for future device purchases.
Microsoft held a press event in New York today and while all the buzz was around the possibility of a smaller Surface tablet, Microsoft went the opposite direction. The Surface Pro 3 was unveiled and instead of shrinking, Microsoft's latest professional tablet got bigger. At 12-inches, it rivals the Samsung Galaxy NotePRO 12.2, but uses a fourth generation Intel Haswell processor to run Windows 8.1 Pro. Despite the massive display, it's thin, lightweight and Microsoft is positioning it as not just a tablet, but a full-fledged laptop replacement.

Samsung has been on a tablet roll lately. The company leads the Android tablet pack and with 20 percent of all tablets sold worldwide in 2013 and the crown as the biggest tablet maker is within reach. Earlier this year, I reviewed three of Samsung's PRO model tablets. Those were awesome products for those in the market for a high end device, but Samsung is also paying attention to those who don't necessarily need an ultra high resolution 359 ppi display or the latest screaming fast mobile processor. This time we take a preview look at the Galaxy Tab 4 range, a new trio of Android tablets from Samsung aimed squarely at the casual use crowd.
One of the cool aspects of this job is being able to try out a hotly anticipated new device before it's officially available. What's even cooler is when a manufacturer sends you a whole box of new gadgets to review. That was the case when I cracked open the shipment from Samsung to find the new Galaxy NotePRO 12.2, Galaxy TabPRO 8.4 and Galaxy TabPRO 10.1 tablets. You can buy all three now at Best Buy, but I had the opportunity to get to know them before they hit the shelves. While I was especially impressed by the Galaxy NotePRO 12.2 (with its massive 12.2-inch, four million pixel display), all three PRO models are likely to please Android tablet fans, and offer a solid choice for prosumers and those looking for a business-friendly option.
At this year's Consumer Electronics Show, Samsung unveiled new Pro series tablets: the Galaxy NotePro and Galaxy TabPro. All four tablets share a number of common features like a high resolution (WQXGA) 2560 x 1600 pixel TFT LCD display, 8 megapixel rear camera, and Android 4.4 (KitKat). So which of these tablets is the right one for you, the Galaxy NotePro or the Galaxy TabPro? Here's a breakdown of some of the key differences between the two and the target market for each.
When it comes to e-readers and tablets, Kobo has grown from an underdog competing against the Kindle to a leading manufacturer that also happens to operate a top notch e-bookstore. The current line-up of Kobo Arc tablets is particularly attractive, offering performance, brilliant high resolution displays, full access to Android apps and combined this with Kobo's e-book expertise. Kobo has positioned the Arc line as the best tablet choice for readers. But which Kobo Arc is the right choice for you? In this post, I explore the differences between the Kobo Arc 7HD, Kobo Arc 10HD and the Kobo Arc 7.
This year's CES is over today and it has been a great showcase for TV, Smartphone, tablet, computer, and a myriad of other technologies. With all this technology, the irony is that Apple did not launch anything, Google was not exhibiting, and Microsoft can't be found on the show room floor either. Although these heavy hitters aren't there, a lot of other major players did use the opportunity to introduce new product lines. CES is also a great opportunity to launch novelty products and prototypes of all sorts. I found some over-the-top innovations and have to wonder if they will ever trickle down to the everyday consumer.
Your smartphone and tablet aren't just for playing games, surfing the web, watching movies or updating Facebook —although the mobile devices are pretty awesome at any of these tasks. You can also put your favourite gadget to work saving you money. Here's an overview of five apps that will make you feel even better about your smartphone or tablet in 2014 because that slab of glass, plastic and metal is putting money back in your pocket.
Over the holidays, thoughts turn to family. Chances are, you have family scattered across the country and maybe even around the globe. Being able to spend time with the ones we love isn't always possible —at least not physically. But thanks to the technology we're carrying with us every day, it's easier than ever to keep your family close. Whether that's taking advantage of Skype to video conference using your smartphone, tablet or laptop, updating Facebook or sharing your photos online, keeping your distant friends and family close is more practical, spontaneous and engaging than a long distance phone call could ever be. So take advantage of your gear's built-in capabilities to make 2014 the year you reconnect and stay connected.
Ho ho ho! Give the kids a way to follow Santa's trip around the globe on Christmas Eve.
Most full-sized Android tablets tend to fall into one of two camps: the inexpensive models with last year's CPU and a low resolution display, or the pricer flagship models that offer fast, quad-core processors and high resolution displays that are now pushing beyond HD. Kobo, the company best known for its impressive line of e-readers (like the Aura HD, my current fav) has been working on its tablet chops too and its line-up this year includes the Kobo Arc 10HD, a full-sized Android tablet with a powerful quad-core Nvidia Tegra 4 processor and a brilliant 2560 x 1600 display. This tablet offers an affordable price that puts it in the first camp, but impressive specs that have it firmly in the second. The Arc 10HD has some weak spots, but for many people its performance, price and reading chops make it well worth considering over more expensive Android competitors.
I've recently reviewed several Windows 8 tablets, both the RT variety (Microsoft's own Surface 2) and a Windows 8.1 version in the form of Sony's VAIO Tap 11. While Windows 8 and its touch-friendly tile interface shines on a tablet, one of my primary complaints about Windows tablets has been their size and weight. Because of their focus on productivity, Windows tablets embrace the larger form factor —makes sense. Still, I think the platform suffered for not having a smaller option to compete with 7-inch Android tablets in terms of cost and portability. Dell has stepped up to fill that need and with a full Windows 8 (as opposed to RT) tablet no less, The Dell Venue 8 Pro. If you've been holding off until you could get a tablet running Windows 8.1 you can hold in one hand, with an HD display, 32GB of built-in storage, all-day battery life —along with Microsoft Office pre-installed— look no further than Best Buy, where you can try out the compact yet powerful Dell Venue 8 Pro.
Stuck on your holiday gift list? Getting down to the final weeks and panic is beginning to set in? No worries, technology can bail your out. The hottest gifts of 2013 can be found at Best Buy and whether you're shopping for someone who finds a smartphone too small and a tablet too big (the perfect phablet candidate!), a video game aficionado looking for the best of the next generation video game consoles or a home automation fan, we've got you covered with these high tech gift suggestions.

I feel nothing
The idea of death has always been in my mind. Not always. I have good memories of my childhood. But now …. Now is different. Now I'm alone. I used to feel loved by my parents, my brother, my boyfriend, my friends… Today my existence is meaningless for them all. And I can't ask for help because when I do, they think the dramatic. I try to fight my thoughts, and keep me alive but everything has been so hard, my thoughts do not let me sleep, my head hurts, I'm so tired of everything, to endure everything. Small things has wronged me, killing myself slowly. And one day, eventually causing me to end my own life. But nobody cares. Nobody would care.
The thought of suicide has always been in the back of my mind. I've thought about it a lot, there hasn't been a day that I really haven't. It used to be one of the scariest things to me, but now, I'm not scared of death. I'm scared of what comes after it.
I've never really felt loved, but when I…

Rochester, Minn.
Hypertonic Saline (HS) aerosols have proven efficacious mucolytics in patient with cystic fibrosis and are well tolerated in that population. Safety concerns in mechanically ventilated patients with ARDS center primarily on HS's effects on lung water distribution (intra vs. extra alveolar) and on airway reactivity. For that reason we plan a small feasibility trial with narrowly focused physiologic endpoints, namely to measure the effects of a single 5ml dose of 7% Saline aerosol on blood gas tensions, hemodynamics and the static and dynamic properties of the relaxed respiratory system. This narrowly scoped study is to lay the foundation for a larger multicenter intervention trial.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Study participants will include consenting adult patients (age > 18), who had been intubated and mechanically ventilated for <72 hours and meet international consensus criteria for ARDS.

**** Some info of the near bays ***
The beautiful and calm gulf of LYGARIA in only 400m away. It is a lovely narrow stretch of sand with calm and warm crystal clear waters. Watersports, scuba diving, sea beds, super markets and fish tavernas make this spot one of the most famous in the area.
The AGIA PELAGIA sandy bay is about 2 Km away. It is protected from the north winds, and the sea is almost always calm.
AGIA PELAGIA village has developed around its shores, so that's where you'll find many of the tavernas and cafeterias. In the center of Agia Pelagia you will find a super market, tourism offices, pharmacy, an ATM, tourist and souvenir shops and the taxi stand.
There are many restaurants and tavernas featuring Cretan, Greek or international cuisine, and all have a beautiful view of the sea. As you dine in Agia Pelagia, you can also partake of the wonderful scenes around you, and snap these memories into a treasured photo album: the various shades of the rippling sea, the cute little kid building a sand castle, the old fishing boats anchored in the bay, the fishermen preparing their nets for the night's labour!

When it comes to charities, many still think the only way to get your donation is to guilt you. This insults everybody involved:
- It insults those who donate because it implies people only care when they are guilted or shamed into giving.
- It insults those who work on the ground and in the field because it glosses over the complexity, challenges, and dangers they face to make a difference.
- It insults, most importantly, the poor. Many would rather have their dignity than be used as an object of pity.
The only way this will stop is if charities realize we don't support this. This Christmas donate wisely.

AllI am a long time AT&T U-Verse Customer form Cedar Hill, TX where I currently have the 24/3 package and have had it forever and love it.Recently we moved to Midlothian where per the provisioning system I can only get the 18/1.5. When the Installer came out my install wound up being at 3400 feet to the prem vs the max of 3200. So i was converted to a bonded pair setup vs single pair deployment. Both lines show great signal and the profiles are good.So my question is since I am on the bonded pair setup can I actually be moved to the 24/3 and be ok. The standard CSR is saying that it cant be done. But i really think that it could be but has to be done by teir 2 support.Help please5+ Year AT&T Customer.ThanksMichael
Currently inid (bonded pair) can only be provision for 25M profile resulting in 18M Max internet, so tier 2 cannot upgrade you till future changes would allow for your profile to increase. According to reports should be rolled in phases completed by end of 2015.

ELKINS (AP) — A Chinese commodities exchange is interested in buying hardwood from West Virginia producers.
A six-member delegation from Tianjin Commodities Exchange met with timber producers this week at the West Virginia Wood Technology Center in Elkins.
Randolph County Development Authority executive director Robbie Morris tells The Inter-Mountain that purpose of the meeting was for the parties to become acquainted.
The group's representative, Advocom Group CEO Lane Bailey, says the exchange probably would make a large purchase but wouldn't say how much it wants to buy.
Morris says any deals with the exchange would give wood producers a new market.

South Korea sees no signs of new provocation from North KoreaUpdated: 2014-04-01 21:59:07 KST
South Korean Defense Ministry Spokesperson Kim Min-seok in a press briefing on Tuesday said there are currently no signs that North Korea is preparing for any additional provocations.
But he added that the South Korean military is ready just in case.
"We will retaliate if North Korea attacks again, at an appropriate level to stop their provocations."
The ministry says the artillery rounds fired on Monday afternoon were from multiple rocket launchers, which lack accuracy, especially compared to the the precision of the K-9 self-propelled heavy artillery used by South Korea.
Officials say that, out of the 500 shells fired by the North during a live-fire military drill, around 100 fell almost three-and-a-half kilometers over the border in South Korean waters near Baengnyeongdo Island.
South Korea military retailiated in line with a new rule of engagement that is based on the principle of taking "an eye for an eye."
In response to the hundred North Korean shells that landed south of the Northern Limit Line, the South Korean military's response was three-fold, with 300 K-9 self propelled heavy artillery shells fired into North Korean waters.
However, tensions may be on the rise, this time, on the eastern coast of the peninsula.
According to local media reports citing an unidentified high-level government official, North Korea earlier issued a no-sail zone in the East Sea from Monday through Friday.
That has raised speculation that Pyongyang might be gearing up for another ballistic missile launch.
In another development, an unidentified unmanned aerial vehicle was found crashed on Baengnyeongdo Island on Monday afternoon, one hour after the two Koreas stopped exchanging fire.
The South Korean military is investigating to determine where it came from, and whether North Korea was involved.

Beijing Urban Adventures
Day tours, with a local
From exploring the rich history of Beijing on a walking tour, to wandering the back streets of authentic local markets, to taking in the major tourist attractions like the Great Wall and Forbidden City, our Urban Adventures Beijing tours allow you to get up close and personal with our city, all with a local expert guide. This city is an explosion for your senses, a mix of cultures, and a city that we love and can't wait to share with you.
Setting foot in Beijing is like experiencing an ancient past and a yet to be reached future all at once. From the moment you touch down at the ultra modern new Beijing Capital Airport you can tell you are in a city on a mission to be noticed. It's a place that's embracing the very latest in technology and design (and certainly not afraid to experiment with architecture - just check out the CCTV tower, the National Centre for Performing Arts, The Birds's Nest Stadium and Water Cube!), while at the same time beginning to treasure its cultural heritage, such as the ancient hutong alleyways.
You'll meet the hip, young new middle class thronging the fashion malls and taking in cutting edge modern art at places like the 798 Art Factory whilst the elderly residents doing their morning tai chi in the Temple of Heaven Park won't be forgotten. Outside of Beijing is the incredible Great Wall just waiting to be hiked and villages where farmers offer their fresh produce at family restaurants, while in the very centre of the city is the immense Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and markets selling anything you can imagine and many things you can't! You'll be tempted by spicy street food, Beijing Duck, dumplings and noodles and have a chance to while away the afternoon over green tea and mahjong or being pampered with a reflexology foot massage.
The locals of Beijing are proud to show off their city and all it has to offer, both the iconic sights and hidden gems on our unique Beijing tours. You'll not be stuck for choice but may find you need to come back again to experience more! And at the pace Beijing is growing and changing, by then there will no doubt be even more to see!

18 Jul 2014 This was absolutely excellent. Our great guide Michelle took its to the local market where we bought ingredients to make Chinese dumplings, and admired weird and wonderful food. We then visited a lady who lived in a tiny apartment in the Hutong and she showed us how to make dumplings. we did a lot of laughing and managed to mangle and make dozens of dumplings which our host then showed us how to cook. Then we ate. great fun, very educational and we thoroughly recommend it.

14 May 2014 Dennis is an excellent guide and I really enjoyed my day.
11 Nov 2013 Michelle was excellent. Gourmet tour was the highlight of our trip. Enjoyed by parents and teenager as well. The entire group was fun and Michelle honestly enjoyed giving the tour. A good introduction to the street food we would face the rest of the week. The only disappointment was the "dumpling making." We didn't really make anything....just ate some at a local home.
22 Jul 2013 Lilly my guide was lovely, i had a wonderful experience trying out some local food in beijing. I saw and learnt about some of the real Beijing.
15 Jul 2013 I booked 3 tours with urban adventures in Beijing: The bike tour, The great wall tour and the Beijing gourmet tour. All of them were lots of fun and very informative. My tour guides Casper and Linda were both fabulous and so much fun to hang out with. Overall it was an amazing experience and in the few days I stayed in Beijing, I got to take in a lot that city had to offer.
23 Jun 2013 Had a great time with Feng even though my bicycle skills and traffic management were dodgy. Maybe a better meeting place as we got confused by 2 similarly named hotels near each other.
05 May 2013 Casper was a great guide. Really enjoyed seeing the sights around Beijing with her and would definitely recommend urban adventures for its day tour options. Thanks!

20 Apr 2013 My guide Jerry was great and the day was one of the best things I did in my time in Beijing. Thanks!
07 Apr 2013 This was an excellent tour, thank you for the early start, it was great to get to the wall before lots of other tourists. Linda you are a great tour guide Really enjoyed the foot massage at the end of the tour
26 Mar 2013 Michelle was fantastic as our guide to the Great Wall at Mutianyu. She went the extra suggesting further places to explore in Beijing and helping to organise it for us. The tour is a great mix of activities and the small group is brilliant (no following a tour flag around sites).
Beijing Urban Adventures unlock the secrets of the capital of the most populous country on earth. Join us on a Beijing tour to get under the ancient skin of this rapidly developing city, experience local life and customs and be amazed by the food and vibrant culture of today's China.

Denver Broncos preview
'Rocky Manning Fever: Part II'
Published: Aug 12, 2013
» Get updates via Sportsmail
This is the latest preview in a series examining the 2013 fantasy football outlook of each NFL team. Today, a look at the Denver Broncos.
The Denver Broncos traded one epidemic ("Tebowmania") for another ("Rocky Manning Fever") in 2012, and the results were as expected.
Peyton Manning guided the Broncos to a 13-3 record and the top seed in the AFC. Joe Flacco shocked Denver, however, with a 70-yard TD pass to Jacoby Jones in the final minute of the AFC divisional playoffs, which led to overtime and an early exit for the Broncos.
The offseason featured a different kind of epidemic. Two key front office members were arrested for DUIs; a paperwork snafu cost the Broncos a shot at re-signing Elvis Dumervil; and Von Miller was suspended four games, pending appeal. Once training camp started, center Dan Koppen was lost for the season with a torn ACL.
How can the Broncos overcome all that? Manning is a start, and Denver brought in Wes Welker via free agency and Montee Ball in the draft. A weak division helps, too.
The Broncos should still be considered among the AFC favorites, and fantasy drafts will confirm that assumption.
Key additions: DT Terrance Knighton, G Louis Vazquez, WR Wes Welker.
Key subtractions: LB Keith Brooking, LB/DE Elvis Dumervil, DE Jason Hunter.
Broncos team page | Stat Projections | Auction Values
5-Star Players
Peyton Manning, QB. Manning's opening act in Denver proved a resounding success. He finished fourth among quarterbacks in fantasy points, and scored 20-plus in all but four games. There are concerns about Manning's age (37) and whether or not he can still throw the deep ball (7-for-21 on passes thrown more than 30 yards last season), but that's not his game -- and it doesn't have to be with the addition of Welker. Expect Manning to be the same precision passer who will put up the points for a Super Bowl contender.
Demaryius Thomas, WR. Thomas was one of three receivers with more than 1,000 yards and 10 TDs who averaged more than 15.0 yards per reception last year. The others were Julio Jones and Dez Bryant. Thomas is every bit as explosive as the elite fantasy receivers, and he's an ideal fit in Rounds 2-3. The only receiver who had more receptions of 25-plus yards in 2012 was Calvin Johnson. That's how good Thomas can be. He's a WR1 at a value price.
Broncos defense/special teams. Miller's suspension will go a long way in determining the Broncos' draft-day value. Defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio builds off edge pressure, and he already lost Dumervil to free agency. Second-year defensive end Derek Wolfe is on the spot along with a secondary that gave up too many big plays in the playoff loss to the Ravens. The Broncos D/ST did average 14.3 fantasy points per game against AFC West opponents last season. That sweetens the deal.
Matt Prater, K. Prater's value took off in 2012 with the arrival of Manning. He totaled a career-high 133 points and hit 81.3 percent of his field-goal attempts. Prater plays for a team bound to score a lot of points, and he's hit 75 percent from 50 yards or more the last five years. Prater remains a starting fantasy kicker.
4-Star Players
Wes Welker, WR. Welker traded Tom Brady for Manning in the offseason, and he's thrown a few jabs New England's way in the aftermath. There's no arguing Welker is one of the most productive PPR receivers of all time. From 2007-12, he had 672 catches with the Patriots; no other receiver had 600 in that stretch. Welker also had 389 first downs in that stretch. The receiver with the most is Reggie Wayne, who used to be Manning's favorite target in Indianapolis. Welker should have the same value in Denver.
Eric Decker, WR. Of course, owners are wondering how much Welker's presence will cut into Decker's value. Decker is coming off a career year (85 catches, 1,064 yards, 13 TDs). Most of that production was on passes of less than 20 yards (74 catches, 827 yards, 11 TDs). He'll lose targets to Welker, but he'll also see favorable coverage. He's still a WR2.
3-Star Players
Montee Ball, RB. Ball's perceived value is stabilizing, but he's a draft-day sleeper owners will have to reach for. Ball had 663 carries the last two seasons at Wisconsin, so he can carry a full workload for Denver. Keeper leaguers might have some concerns about the wear on his tires, though. Ball needs to win the job in training camp, and that's not a guarantee. Don't reach too high.
Von Miller, DE/LB. Miller's suspension figures to drag out into training camp, and there's a chance it could be overturned or reduced. Miller is one of four players with 30 or more sacks the past two seasons and will command a high draft-day premium even if suspended. Owners who can get by will be rewarded.
1-Star Players
Ronnie Hillman, RB. Hillman opened camp as the Broncos' starter, but owners don't have much faith. Ball is the odds-on favorite to win the job, and Moreno will get more carries if he proves healthy. Hillman needs to be a more decisive runner in his second year, but he did have 22 carries for 83 yards in the divisional playoff loss. The competition with Ball and Moreno determines everything here.
Wesley Woodyard, LB. Woodyard turned in a career year with 114 total tackles, 5.5 sacks and three interceptions. He's the ideal fit in Del Rio's scheme. Woodyard is looking for a contract extension, and he deserves it. Consider Woodyard a solid LB2.
0-Star Players
Knowshon Moreno, RB. Moreno still is recovering from offseason knee surgery, and he's become the forgotten man in the Denver derby. That could prove foolish. Moreno averaged 22 carries and 85 yards through six games as a starter last season, a stretch in which the Broncos went 6-0. Moreno won't start 16 games -- he hasn't done that in four seasons -- but he'll reappear on the standard-league circuit at some point, especially given it's a contract year.
Jacob Tamme, TE. Tamme's experience with Manning made him a highly regarded sleeper in 2012, but he was an inefficient target who caught just two TDs. He had only nine targets in the red zone last season and splits TE looks with Joel Dreessen. Tamme, who's dealing with a quad injury this preseason, is a backup option at best.
Joel Dreessen, TE. If owners could combine Tamme and Dreessen, then they would have a starting option. Dreessen has averaged five TDs the last three seasons, but he's had more than 500 yards only once in his career. He had four TDs in the red zone last season, and that will be his role again in 2013. He's also out for training camp after undergoing a follow-up surgery on the left knee he had scoped in May. Dreessen is bye-week filler at best. If both he and Tamme are out for an extended period, fantasy owners should keep an eye on Julius Thomas.
Medical Report: Koppen and Dreessen were the training-camp casualties, and Koppen obviously is the bigger concern. ... Moreno appears healthy after coming off knee surgery, but he's always an injury risk. ... Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is out 2-3 weeks with a high ankle sprain, another concern for the Broncos' secondary.
Coaching: John Fox is 21-11 in two seasons with the Broncos, and Denver ranked fourth or better in total offense, scoring offense, total defense and scoring defense last season. Fox's biggest challenge is avoiding a hangover from that playoff loss against the Ravens. Adam Gase is a first-time offensive coordinator, and his best bet is to stay out of Manning's way. Del Rio transformed a terrible unit into an every-week defense, but not having Dumervil and possibly Miller could lead to a more conservative approach early in the season.
Offensive line: With Koppen out, Manny Ramirez gets the first crack at starting center duties. Left tackle Ryan Clady had offseason shoulder surgery but should be ready for Week 1. Free-agent pickup Louis Vasquez adds a physical presence at right guard. Right tackle Orlando Franklin and left guard Zach Beadles round out a solid group that allowed just 21 sacks, second-fewest in the league. This is a stout line, but it's all about making sure Koppen's injury doesn't affect the entire group.
Schedule analysis: Though the Broncos have a first-place schedule, it also features the fantasy-friendly AFC South and NFC East divisions. That means plenty of fantasy points and primetime games, starting with the season-opener against a made-over Baltimore defense. Manning also faces younger brother Eli Manning and the Giants in Week 2, as well as a return to Indianapolis in Week 7. The elite matchups might cause some concern, but Peyton also is in the AFC West, and he averaged 302.7 yards with 15 TDs and four interceptions against division opponents in 2012. The fantasy playoff schedule (vs. TEN, vs. SD, at HOU) is mostly friendly, save for that tough road matchup with Houston in Week 16. Overall, this is a best-case schedule for the Broncos' fantasy options. Fantasy Strength of Schedule: Easiest overall.
