Charles Brown and his partner booked a villa in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, through HomeAway. Brown's girlfriend emailed a person claiming to be the "owner" of the villa and eventually agreed on a $6,300 price.
Can you guess what happened next?
Brown's girlfriend received a rental agreement and invoice, with instructions to wire the money to the owner. Brown had a friend wire the money to the KBC Bank in Belgium, but as he discovered too late, not to the true owner of the villa.
Never, ever wire money for a vacation rental.
Brown had recently completed a decade of medical education and training, and his girlfriend had just recovered from cancer. The St. Thomas vacation was to celebrate two major milestones.
Late that night and shortly after Brown's friend wired the money, Brown noticed that the "way the email address appeared and the actual email address were different." Brown became concerned and researched the "owner's" email address. Brown found a scam alert with the identical email address, for a different property.
Brown "immediately contacted HomeAway and they confirmed over the phone that they were hacked, their property owner's account accessed, and that we were defrauded." Brown detected the scam before HomeAway did. Brown said that HomeAway was cavalier about the scam, that their fraud department was closed and that there wasn't much they could do. Basically, HomeAway disclaimed responsibility for its website security or for safeguarding their owners' private data.
Brown contacted Chase, the bank used to wire the money, and found them to be "apathetic." Brown's friend who wired the money contacted Chase, and, despite the fact that the transfer was in progress and could be stopped, Chase said their fraud department was also closed.
Brown also contacted the KBC Bank in Belgium and found that they were closed, as well. Brown reached KBC Bank a few hours later and was told that the funds had not yet been disbursed, and that if Chase would contact them, they would return the funds to Chase.
Eventually, despite notifying both banks that a fraud was in progress and could be prevented, Brown learned that Chase took too long to contact KBC, and that the money was disbursed to the fraudulent "owner." Despite Brown's quick realization that he had been the victim of fraud, and his diligence in trying to prevent it, he couldn't stop the money from being disbursed to the "owner."
Brown thought that he was protected by HomeAway's Book With Confidence Guarantee. The guarantee includes comprehensive payment protection which "protects 100% of your payment against things like listing fraud, phishing, property significantly misrepresented, wrongful denial of entry, or uninhabitable property upon arrival."
But, in order to benefit from HomeAway's guarantee, the customer must complete the booking through the HomeAway checkout process. The HomeAway guarantee clearly discloses that:
Only bookings made through the HomeAway checkout and paid for using a registered payment method are eligible for coverage by the Book with Confidence Guarantee. This coverage is offered at no additional cost.
But Brown didn't make payment through the HomeAway website, and that was an unfortunate and costly mistake. The part of Brown's HomeAway rental agreement that specifically said that payment must be made through their approved process or the payment guarantee is forfeited was blacked out.
After discovering that he had been victimized, Brown researched the scam and learned that it had been ongoing for several years. In fact, even after notifying HomeAway of the scam, he received an email from a different "owner" in St. Thomas that had the same email address as the "owner" who scammed him the first time. Nothing had been done to protect HomeAway renters from this scammer.
Yet, in an odd way, Brown recognized that he was lucky. He was thankful that he discovered the fraud before arriving at his destination with no place to stay.
Vacation rental scams perpetuated through HomeAway and similar sites are common. We've written several articles about such scams, including those published in September 2015, February 2012, and January 2012.
A simple internet search should help a renter detect a possible scam before becoming a victim. The lesson is to do your research before you book a vacation rental and to never wire money or make a payment outside of the established and guaranteed forum.

Strong second half pushes Broncs past Manhattan on Senior Night
LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ – Senior guard Jimmie Taylor (Branford, FL/Suwannee) scored a team-high 28 points to move into 10th on the Broncs' all-time career scoring list as the Rider University men's basketball team defeated Manhattan, 93-82, on Senior Night Wednesday at Alumni Gymnasium. Taylor pushed his career total to 1,493 as the Broncs improved to 16-14 (9-10 MAAC). The Jaspers slip to 10-20 (5-14 MAAC) with the loss.
Rider erased a nine-point halftime deficit, outscoring Manhattan, 49-29, and outshooting the Jaspers, 66.7 percent (16-24) to 30.0 percent (9-30) in the second half. Taylor hit 7-of-15 field-goal attempts, 3-of-8 from long range and 11-of-13 at the free-throw line. Fellow seniors Kahlil Thomas (Parkway, FL/Blanche Ely) and Norville Carey (British Virgin Islands/Red Lion Christian [Southern Miss]) also scored in double-figures with 18 and 17 points, respectively. Thomas grabbed nine rebounds, while Carey had eight. Kealen Washington-Ives (Providence, RI/Classical/Putnam Science) also contributed 12 points, six assists and five rebounds without committing a turnover in 31 minutes off the bench.
Zane Waterman scored a game-high 30 points and grabbed nine rebounds for Manhattan. Calvin Crawford added 17 points, but just two after halftime, while Zavier Turner (14) and Aaron Walker, Jr., (10) also finished in double figures.
"Hard-fought battle there. There were times it looked kind of doom and gloom for us, but we just kept talking about hanging around, giving ourselves a chance to get back into the game and once we got a chance to get the lead, we found a way to build the momentum from there," said Rider Head Coach Kevin Baggett. "It started on the defensive end. Obviously, we scored 93 points. A good scoring night, but we needed to get some stops and get those guys under control."
Manhattan used an early 9-0 spurt to establish a lead and extended to a 10-point lead on two occasions, before the Broncs pulled to within three on a pair of Taylor free throws at the 3:47 mark. But the Jaspers answered with an 8-0 run to build their largest lead of the half, 51-40. The Broncs cut the deficit to 53-44 at the break.
Taylor led Rider with 19 points in the first half on 5-of-9 shooting from the floor, including 3-of-6 from long range and 6-of-7 from the free-throw line. Waterman countered with 23 points, including 9-of-10 from the free-throw line and 6-of-8 from the floor. Crawford added 15 points and seven rebounds. The Jaspers shot 62.1 percent (18-29) from the floor, 57.1 percent (8-14) from long range and 81.8 percent (9-11) from the free-throw line.
"I've been telling Jimmie all year that he could score the ball like that anytime he wants to," said Thomas. "He's been picking it up a lot lately and we've been feeding off of him."
The Jaspers kept the Broncs at arm's reach for the first 10 minutes of the second half before Rider went on a 9-0 run to take their first lead since 4-3 in the opening minutes of the game. Manhattan tied the game at 72-72 and 74-74 before the Broncs scored the next six points and never relinquished the lead. Two Taylor free throws gave the Broncs the lead for good and the spurt was punctuated by buckets from Carey and Thomas.
"We tried to stay more in man. We did a good job handling the ball screen defense," said Baggett. "Around the 10-minute mark of the second half, they were picking and popping with Waterman a great deal and Turner was turning the corner some, but once we were able to get them under control, we did a better job."
The Broncs took a 54.4 percent (31-57) to 45.8 percent (27-58) advantage from the floor for the game. Rider also outscored Manhattan, 46-18, in the paint for the game and took a 13-2 advantage on fast-break points. The Broncs outrebounded the Jaspers, 41-27, and registered 18 assists to just nine turnovers.
The Broncs close out the regular season Sunday afternoon at Quinnipiac. Tip-off from the TD Bank Sports Center is slated for 2 p.m.

On May 21, 2015, the AITP Mile High Chapter held its Past Presidents and Scholarship Awards Night dinner meeting at the Quality Inn Central Denver in Denver, Colorado.
It was an excellent meeting, and a good opportunity for the young and not-so-young to discuss the history and current state of IT. Our keynote speaker was Jonita LeRoy, with the Colorado Governor's Office of Information Technology. She delivered a dynamic and informative presentation about the status and prospects of IT economic development in Colorado.
Keynote Speaker: Jonita LeRoy

Children must be okay with animals as we do have dogs (have been raised around kids and are very friendly). If interested please call/text 315-804-... or email link above. Thank you

California Fame
At California Fame, award-winning instructors give youngsters the skills and encouragement to achieve their dreams of becoming successful gymnasts, tumblers, and even stunt artists. After lacing up their sneakers, kids can improve their coordination, agility, and overall athleticism during an array of dance classes—including jazz, ballet, and tap—and multiple levels of tumbling classes. While learning how to set dance floors ablaze or perfecting their gymnast routines, kids also absorb valuable lessons in self-esteem and socialization. Although kids might eventually raise a first-place trophy with some of the techniques they learned at California Fame, the gym's environment is designed to be friendly and non-competitive.

Bahamas Shark Dive

Brynns Semester At Sea
Bahama Sheraton Beach
Made it to the Bahamas with Mom and Dad two days ago. Travel seemed long, as I had not slept the night before and spent a good portion of the night and morning of travel crying after the last video chat with good friends. Arrival in the Bahamas was smooth and easy. The air was certainly warmer than Colorado, but not as warm as you might think, it is their off season for tourists and is a little cooler then the scorching summers. The taxi driver was a nice local with multiple colored ties hanging from his rear view mirror that swayed as he drove around the roundabouts on the left side of the road and right side of the car. Bahamas used to be under British rule.
The Sheraton resort looked very nice as we pulled up to the front where a Bahamian bell hop unloaded our bags and took them into the over sized lobby complete with gift shop, couches, big windows facing the bright blue ocean and coffee shops. From my age, my parents and common sized two rolling duffels; everyone who saw us knew I was a semester at sea kid with
Nassau Port Welcome
my parents. This indicated that there must be many of us around. We then made our way through the overly chilled hallways following our bellhop up the elevator to the eighth floor. The hallways were incredibly long, skinny and slightly run down looking. The room was nice, but not as nice as the brand new room depicted on their website. The beds were a little hard and the walls and furniture a little chipped, but overall a nice place to be. As we stepped onto the deck, we had a nice view of the construction of other resorts to our right and a slight ocean and beach view to our left with resort upon resort on the beach front straight ahead of us. I proceeded to pass out in the middle of the day.
Upon waking up, we explored the resort and passed through its casino to a little restaurant that had just ok tasting food. Walking back we decided to walk past the incredibly elaborate pools with bridges, rocks, waterfalls, streams and bars and then back to the room where I passed out again.
The next morning I woke up for
The Senior Frogs Bar
the shark dive!!! Mom and I had decided to exercise our certification while in the Bahamas with a shark-feeding dive. The morning was quick paced as I had slept in and woken up to a quick egg-mc-muffin and coffee. Mom and I put on our swimsuits, grabbed our masks and caught the Stuart Cove bus, running on island time/ never on time. The bus was packed with people filling out gear rental forms and liability and release forms. As the bus stopped at more and more resorts the bus got hot and the fold out aisle seats were used to cram people in. A couple of semester at sea people from Colorado sat in front of me, haha small world. When we arrived at a little dock with a scuba boat, we rented our gear and jumped onto a dive boat with 22 others.
The first dive was a follow the leader type dive where we swam along the edge of an underwater sea cliff. Took a bit to remember everything about diving but it all came back pretty fast. The water was perfectly blue and incredibly clear with extreme visibility. For the first time ever I
The Senior Frogs Bar
saw a shark in the wild! A reef shark swam by in the distance. As we kept going, we came across a massive lobster!! Must have weighed more then 20 pounds!! He was very content under his rock in the sandbar. As we moved away from the sea cliff and to the sandbar, we tested our weights to see if we could comfortably rest on the sandy bottom without tipping over. I was tipping a little, so clearly a bit more weight was needed. We continued the dive until we came across a small sunken boat. All the different Bryozoans, corals and creatures growing all over the side fascinated me. I was also pleased to see more reef sharks swimming overhead, none of them more then six feet long. As I came to the top of the wreck I spotted a big lion fish hidden under a broken door. They are not native to the area and are actually a big problem in the area because they have a huge appetite and no predators. We continued to the rest stop for three minutes at fifteen feet and then surfaced to clamber back onto the boat.
As we
Bahama Resorts
prepared for the second dive our dive master Beto gave us a long safety lecture. The goal was not to make any arm movements. This meant sitting cross-armed unless we needed to fix our mask or something in which case we had to keep our arms close to our bodies. We were also instructed that if a shark bumped us or a current knocked us over to let ourselves fall and not to make any sudden motion to catch ourselves. Once down a guide would push us back upright. We were to dive down to a large circle of rocks called the shark arena. When we reached the bottom we were assigned a rock to sit by around the outer edges of the circle where we could sit on our knees or cross-legged. The extra weights we had added to our weight belts kept us stable on the bottom. Mom was unfortunately unable to join me on this second dive due to gear complications at the surface.
After waiting a while and getting everyone situated, Beto jumped into the water in a full chain mail suit with a chum box and a pointed metal rod. Immediately the
Downtown Nassau
sharks that had been swimming by occasionally overhead started to gather around Beto. They seemed to swarm around him like ants to a little pile of sugar. Pretty soon there were at least 30 sharks inside our circle of divers swimming around the chum box and getting close to Beto to wait for their chance. I thought I would be a little nervous or scared, but I wasn't! It was so amazing!! Sharks would swim right next to me into the circle and directly over my head to join the crowd. All of the sharks were Caribbean reef sharks, which are relatively small ranging from 6-10ft as adults.
The sharks could have cared less about the rest of us divers--all they wanted was the fish in the box. As Beto opened the box and got a fish head on the rod excitement stirred through the swarm in a wave. When the pole of fish was brought out, the nearest shark immediately opened its jaws, sped for it and took it right off the pole. She swallowed it whole in one gulp and cruised out of the circle right over my head. I looked straight up and watched
Bahama Sunset Over City
as each fin and her long belly swam quickly over me. The frenzy continued in the circle with a maximum of 50 sharks swimming in and out of the circle around us at one time.
It was absolutely fascinating to be able to watch them this close and see their massive jaws open with rows of sharp teeth closing down on the bait and now and then Beto's arms. Beto was very relaxed; in fact he seemed to be enjoying it. If a shark bit him they would taste the chain mail and immediately let go and Beto would act like nothing happened. The chains would actually catch some of the shark teeth and I could see them fall like white pearly triangles to the sand at his feet. This of course did not hurt the sharks as they have new teeth that rotate into place when one falls out. Beto would even pet the sharks as they swam by.
One of the interesting things was the reaction the sharks seemed to have when they were over stimulated with the excitement of food. All sharks have very sensitive and extremely good sensory organs all
Nassau at Night
over the front of their nose. They can sense many things, from smells to water pressure and movement from electricity created by muscle movement. When the sharks would bump their nose on the chum box or grab a piece if fish, their big round eyes would roll into the back of their head exposing the whites and making them look really eerie. I do not know what this was from or why they did it but it was interesting. There was also a shark with a messed up jaw. Most of the sharks were female which you can tell from the claspers (penis fins) and this particular female looked as if she had gotten stuck on a hook at one point in her life that pulled one half of her jaw downward exposing the inside of her mouth. Hence, her nickname the Joker.
The photographers made their way around the circle taking pictures of each diver with sharks in the background. Right after the camera left from my position, a shark swam so close to my head that its fin bumped my snorkel on my mask. I turned my head to watch the long sandpaper skinned body
Shark Dive Shuttle
go by. A shark also swam right towards my face, but knowing what I do about them, I knew it would sense me and move over the top of my head, which it did as it got closer. As Beto started running out of the only 30 fish pieces that he had the sharks started getting a little more aggressive towards him. They were now bumping into the box and knocking it over and at one point a shark bit his pointer finger and got momentarily stuck in the chain mail in which case he shook it off.
One of the neatest parts was when Beto grabbed a shark. As a big female came in to investigate he reached in front of her and started rubbing her nose very fast. This greatly confused her senses to the point where her eyes rolled and she settled to the bottom of the sand to regain control. Beto slowed down the nose rubbing but kept it up so she would stay calm. He then lifted her up effortlessly by the dorsal fin and walked around the circle showing us her long beautiful body up close as he kept lightly rubbing.
Lots of Caribbean Reef Sharks
She sat very still and confused looking by the situation with gills still pumping in and out effortlessly until she was set back down on the sand and the nose rubbing stopped. She then took off like nothing had happened.
At this point we had been under water for 45 minutes at 40 feet and it was time to get back to the surface. So Beto swam away with the empty box, all the sharks trailing behind. When the coast was clear we were given the signal and everyone quickly searched the sand for those pearly white teeth stuffing them in their wetsuit arms. I wanted one so badly but did not get one in time and was not able to get one from the greedy folks who had more then one. We swam up, did our rest stop and surfaced to get back on the boat.
Once everyone was back on Beto quickly swam back and jumped on. The boat started up as everyone peeled of their wetsuits, warmed up in the sun and dried off. One of the interesting things mom and I thought about was what feeding these sharks may do
My Big Grouper Friend
to the ecosystem and to the sharks natural tendency to leave humans alone. What was very neat though was Beto's talk on the way back to shore. He talked to us about why dives like these feeding dives are important because it raises the awareness of the misperception of man eating, incredibly dangerous sharks. They really are not man eating and have no intentions of harming humans. Sure given the right situation where a swimmer or surfer looks like a seal or is splashing like an injured fish, a shark may bump or bite out of curiosity to discover what it is, but these incidents are much more rare than people think and the good news is, almost none of them are deadly. Sharks do not like humans so they do not come back for more. In fact, in the U.S. there are on average 16 shark attacks per year and only one fatal one every two years. This means that if you swim in the ocean regularly your chances of being bit are one in 11.5 million and your chances of death by a shark is one in 264.1 million. These are incredibly small odds if you take into
The Joker Shark
account that other freak accidents are more likely. Apparently 38 people die every year from lighting (according to Wikipedia).
Beto also talked about, that compared to the millions of sharks humans are killing every year, one human every other year is nothing. He wanted to raise awareness about the extreme shark extermination that is happening worldwide. As by-catch and for shark fin soup, (a highly prized commodity in Asia) sharks are being fished and killed at 100 million a year only for their cartilaginous fins. A bowl of shark fin soup can fetch a price of up to U.S. $1,000 per kg. This is depleting the oceans of the ecosystems top predator, necessary to maintain balance. All species are coming closer and closer to endangerment everyday. Not only is this a tragedy, it is cruel. The sharks are caught, their fins cut off and their live bodies thrown into the ocean wiggling without moving forward until they drown to death because they cannot pass oxygenated water over their gills without movement. Beto informed everyone briefly of this situation and his hope that if we enjoyed our experience, we should go home and do something about it, join
a website, group of some sort, make a change and never eat shark fin soup. I thought this was a very important message and a very good reason for doing shark feed dives. Luckily California recently passed a law banning shark fining and the retail of them.
Long story short, it was an amazing experience and something I have always wanted to do. I have it on video and will try to post it here and if I cannot you will have to see me when I get back!
The evening was spent back with both parents, where we went out to a fancy seafood dinner at the Poop Deck. Again with the island time waiting, but I had the best tasting grilled lobster tail I have ever eaten dipped in lemon butter while we talked over dinner about what we all remembered when we thought about our childhood. Feeling very full we wandered back into the resort and decided to walk past the pools to the perfectly white sandy beach with millions of tanning lounge chairs. The beach and water were stereotypical Caribbean beautiful with a few feral cats jogging along side us
in case of any scraps.
Last day before boarding the MV Explorer was today! I woke up to a beautiful sunny day in the Bahamas and the sound of construction. I decided it was beach day, so I put on the bikini, lotioned up my papery white Humboldtian skin with 30spf, grabbed the required 80pg reading for the voyage and headed down to the millions of tanning lounge chairs. The air was nice and warm, the water beautiful and glistening and the resort lobby and beach bustling with tons of semester at sea students. They were everywhere. The strange thing was, I didn't want to get to know people and try to make new friends today, I just wanted to relax and enjoy my last day before I was stuck on a ship with them all for 105 days. So I found a shady spot and read through the entire book called A Small Place about the island of Antigua and how it has changed over the years due to tourism from a native's perspective. It was also about what it is to be an ugly tourist on your "beach vacation" and how all the
locals really hate you but want the tourism at the same time which really got me thinking about where I was and raised a lot of questions for me. How did the Bahamas get this way with resorts from end to end on the beach and poverty in the center? Do the locals feel that way here? Where does all of the resort waste go? Don't the resorts help to create jobs? If they do then why are so few in the upper class?
As I finished up the book I contemplated these things and watched all the students around me making friends and playing volleyball. I tanned a little while listening to a native beach steward talk with a man behind me about how to be more like him, get the ladies, and act more American because that was the way to be and we had the life. He wanted to get off the island, but had no money. As the man explained to this local how vast the U.S. is and how long it takes to drive across the local was stunned and amazed, unable to comprehend such a thing after living on a 21
Shark Circle
mile long and 7 mile wide island his whole life. Very interesting to listen in on.
I ended up meeting a few people who invited me to the Hard Rock Café. So we had dinner with them and their parents talking about the trip and getting to know each other. After dinner the parents headed off to the ship to get their official tour and parent's orientation while us students went to the Senior Frogs bar to meet others and try some Caribbean drinks, as the drinking age is 18 here. The place was packed with SAS students chatting and getting to know each other. I met quite a few people and tried a drink called a yellow tail. The DJ got tons of people dancing and drinking and participating in activities. I enjoyed the time there and knew I would never remember all these new names. The place was very loud and bustling, a good time. When the excited parents got off the ship we took a taxi packed with parents and their kids back to the Sheraton. The parents were very excited to tell us all about the experience we were going to have and all about the ship.
Back at the room I repacked my duffels while chatting with mom and dad about the experiences to come. Tomorrow I board the ship at 8:40am and get all checked in and oriented and the experience begins!!

\n\n\n By Arash Markazi \n\n \n\n\n \n1 Donald Trump\n\n
After the Mavericks got bounced in the first round of the NBA Playoffs, "The Donald" called Mark Cuban "a loser." Cuban retaliated by saying the billionaire couldn't afford his own team. Does anyone else smell a WrestleMania cage match?
\n\n\n\n \n2 Michael Jordan\n\n
His Airness was all over the grand opening of The Cove Atlantis on Paradise Island in the Bahamas last weekend -- drinking with Spike Lee, smoking cigars with Steven Tyler and dancing with Ashanti. Thankfully he didn't have much time to watch the Bulls sleepwalk through their series with the Pistons.
\n\n\n\n \n3 Kim Kardashian\n\n
The sultry daughter of former O.J. Simpson attorney Robert Kardashian is not dating Reggie Bush as some sites are reporting (it's amazing what month old photos will start during a slow news week), but any excuse to get her into the rankings is fine with us.
\n\n\n\n \n4 Tony Romo\n\n
The Cowboys quarterback says he and Carrie Underwood are "just good friends." You know, the kind of "good friend" you make out with at parties after a couple of drinks
\n\n\n\n \n5 Steve Nash\n\n
The blood on Nash's busted up nose wasn't even dry before Phoenix cashed in on the gruesome injury he suffered during Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals. Nose stickers and T-shirts featuring Nash's bandage were sold before Game 2. Senator John McCain's wife, Cindy, even got into the action, plastering a sticker over her beak.
\n\n\n\n \n6 Willa Ford\n\n
Mike Modano's fiancé doesn't have any problem telling it like it is. The singer stood up for her man last week when she bashed the Dallas Stars for their treatment of her future hubby, throwing out words like "cheesy" and "classless" and she wasn't even talking about her starring role in the upcoming Anna Nicole Smith biopic.
\n\n\n\n \n7 Amanda Beard\n\n
Our friends over at Playboy tell us that their July cover girl will make her FHM shoot a couple years ago look as tame as the images of her clutching a teddy bear at the Olympics over a decade ago. This should be good.
\n\n\n\n \n8 Aimee Teegarden\n\n
Despite struggling with poor ratings, NBC is bringing back Friday Night Lights for one more season. We can only hope that means more scenes for the show's budding star.
\n\n\n\n \n9 Paris Hilton\n\n
So what if Paris isn't allowed to drive? The hotel heiress will still be participating in Bullrun 2007, a week-long, cross-country road race from Montreal to Key West that kicked off last weekend. The jail bound socialite will apparently be chauffeured to and from destinations along the route.
\n\n\n\n \n10 O.J. Simpson\n\n
While joining his C-list brethren at the Kentucky Derby last week, "The Juice" and his party were kicked out of a local steakhouse to the delight of applauding customers. Meanwhile the rest of America yawned, shrugged their shoulders and went back to their meals.

A Father's Greatest Duty
A father's greatest duty is to protect his family. Johnny Bridges was forced to fulfill that duty late last week. According to ABC Cleveland, three armed men grabbed Mr. Bridges's fiancé as she left the family's home to take their kids to camp. Thankfully Mr. Bridges saw the men accosting his fiancé and was able to grab his firearm. As the armed criminals tried to force Mr. Bridges's fiancé back into the home he shot one of the men and forced them to flee. His fiancé and kids are now safe thanks to his actions. "I just wanted to make sure my family was alright" Mr. Bridges said. (h/t Guns Save Lives)

working as IT manager in travel industry especially hotel in Bali makes me have to prepared all services to be universal as the guests are coming from all over the world with so many hardware and software standards. how to create hotel guest wifi service that will compatible to all standards?what do i have to prepare?
please help..

Did Bali outline any of the services that are required?
I can't imagine this would be too complex. Here at my employer, we use cisco access points that support a/b/g wireless standards. We did run into some quirks with MacBooks and the cisco access points. Ethernet Encapsulation Transformation was set to a default of 802.1H. The setting had to be changed to RFC1042 to allow them access.
Another thing we do, with a disclaimer of course, is leave the network wide open. We can do this as we're out in the sticks and don't have to worry about other companies or people off property leaching our signal.
What I would like to see is some sort of a bandwidth limiting feature worked into our firewall or access points, but on a limited budget, this isn't happening cheaply.
Aug 17, 2009 at 8:15 UTC
As long as you follow the 802.11B/G/N standard you should be about as universal as you can get, it is an international standard.
Aug 18, 2009 at 3:43 UTC
We tend to use HP Access Points currently 530 WW (Worldwide) as these have some nice features like VLANs, Multi SSIDs, Twin radio with internal aerials and external sockets for aerials should there be a requirement, Supports 802.11A/B/G no N at the present as this has not been fully released (probably on newer model of Access Point as 530 WW is being replaced).
We are also looking at Community Access to our broadband connection as well as to members of the public in addition to employees.
Aug 18, 2009 at 8:31 UTC
With CISCO Airoport ABG or BGN's you can set up a VWLAN using HREAP to completely seperate internal private and external guest wifi subnets.
You can then use the LANDING PAGE option (which is completely customizable) to force guests to log in using whatever method of authetnication you give them

For an inexpensive solution take a look at the Meraki devices. They're very inexpensive and a snap to setup. They create a wireless mesh and allow for multiple gateways by literally just plugging one into an Internet connection (no additional confiuration necessary).
I'm trying a system out at home and at one of our apartment complexes (over 100 units) to provide free wi-fi for our residents. So far it has been working flawlessly. There are a host of configuration schenarios available.
I'm using two indoor units and have them plugged into DSL lines so they're the gateways. The remaining units are all outdoor versions and are attached to the sides of the buildings. They provide a web-based dashboard for remote management and it provides a great deal of information. There's no monthly fee for the dashboard, it comes as part of the sale. I can be at home remotely managing a system in another state.
Worth taking a look at at least.

@NetMan, if you are happy with HP, then take a look on their Controller based solutions which they acquired from Colubris.
It will allow you to create different SSIDs with diffrent security inside the same APs. We have it up and running in our office (from the days it was Colubriss) and very happy with that.

Paperless Business Systems is an IT service provider.
If you need to go as cheap and flexible as possible, I am currently experimenting with an approach that involves the use of home user grade ASUS wireless equipment and PFSense/Vayatta firewalls/routers.
I am trying to stick to open source software and equipment that gives me as much flexibility as possible. I am working with PFSense because I know and like it and because it performs well with minimal hardware and maximum compatibility. I am going to play with Vayatta for the same roles for comparison.
Both PFSense and Vayatta will run on darn near anything, and the open source software is free, so the cost is low. The ASUS gear is mid-range in price, but cheap for the specs. The only thing left to spend money on is switches, for those I am using whatever I have laying around for now.
I chose the ASUS hardware because it is available in a number of price points and configurations, it is supported by most of the third party firmwares, and they use mini pci radios so you have the option of swapping in another radio for tuning or repair. Plus they seem generally well thought of by the open source wireless hackers.
So far they layout works well. It is reliable, compatible, and easy to maintain. I am still playing with components and fiddling so realize that this is still in the lab and the idea stage, but I am using the system to run my home which has a large flow of visitors with odd hardware and a large native population of both cheap and expensive gear. That is why I use it as my lab. It drives my roommates crazy. :)
Best of luck and feel free to ask any questions.
Aug 18, 2009 at 3:53 UTC
Give them a look, call them and see if they will support international.
Aug 18, 2009 at 5:58 UTC
Do you want users to have to enter a WEP or WPA(2) key or password like Wayport.
I did start this thread based on this somewhat.

Thanks for the message the HP 530WW replacements are the newer HP MSM323 APs powered by the Colubris technology as you have mentioned.
I have purchase two of the MSM323 APs and am trying to get them to work on the network currently without the need for the public interface needing to be activated.

Description: As soon as a firm starts operating and furthermore, the moment it starts to grow, it needs to come to a decision about how to invest funds, how much cash and inventory to hold on to, how much financing to provide to customers, how to obtain the necessary funds, how much debt to take on and in which terms-all the answers to these questions have serious consequences for a firm's cash flow and profitability.Working Capital Management is a hands-on look at the crucial decision of how to define and finance the operating investments of a business. Starting with an overview of the fundamental framework of corporate finance, the authors set out to define the central, and usually underestimated, role that working capital plays within this structure. They show not only how to prevent the losses that result from mishandling of working capital, but also how to fully exploit the strategicpotential that intelligent, expert management of working capital allows. The book is the first to emphasize the relevance of the interplay between the investment and finance aspects of working capital, by discussing all of the main components of a firm's operating expenses from both an investment and financeperspective. After focusing on the varying aspects and themes of working capital, such as inventory management, strategic accounting, trade credit, and short-term debt, the authors move on to identify the long-term implications and opportunities raised by this often overlooked aspect of corporate finance.Lorenzo Preve and Virginia Sarria Allende have at last provided a resource that identifies the impact of day-to-day business decisions, uncovering a highly influential, aspect of all firms' financial situation.

The number of Internet users in China reached 477 million at the end of March and websites registered with the proper authorities climbed to 3.82 million, a senior telecommunication official said Monday.
Wang Jianwen, deputy head of the Telecommunications Administration Bureau under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, announced the figures while addressing a meeting on creating a healthy online environment.
Noting that the rapidly-developing Internet has been shaping social relations, the economy, and culture, Wang said surging online fraud, pornography and illegal publicity are disrupting online communications and the market economy.
According to officials, illegal publicity is when companies or individuals recruit "Internet mercenaries" to engage in improper competition against rivals, such as fabricating or distorting facts that can lead to blackmail or seeking to reap profits by sensationalizing issues via the Internet.
A product brand manager for Mengniu, a major Chinese dairy product company, was arrested in October last year after enlisting the help of a public relations firm in organizing an online slander campaign against rival milk product firm Yili.
At the meeting Monday, representatives from 140 major Chinese websites signed a self-discipline pact, vowing to never organize or take part in any form of illegal publicity on the Internet.
The websites represented include www.sohu.com, www.netease.com, www.sina.com, www.qq.com, Chinese language search giant www.baidu.com, video-sharing database www.youku.com, and the social networking service (SNS) www.kaixin001.com.
The Internet Society of China (ISC), which worked out the pact with the websites, is calling on all Internet participators, organizations and individuals to fight illegal online publicity practices, said Ma Ning, general secretary of ISC, while addressing the meeting.
Ma said the move aims to form an Internet environment showcasing the values of integrity and civility, which is favorable for the Internet industry's healthy development.
Among the representatives from website firms, Wen Yonggang, deputy general manager of the national web-based broadcaster China Network Television (CNTV), said illegal online publicity jeopardizes people's right to know the truth and undermines the public's trust in Internet-based communication.
Li Fang, deputy editor-in-chief of www.qq.com, a website under China's biggest instant messenger service provider Tencent, Inc., said his website will fight any publicity activity that goes against the rules of online transparency and fairness or violates the media code of conduct.
Furthermore, Li Bin, general manager of www.cqnews.net, a provincial-level online news portal based in the southwest municipality of Chongqing, said his website will arrange for more training to increase the awareness and capabilities of its editors cracking down on illegal online publicity.
China launched a two-month campaign in the middle of April to crack down on illegal publicity activities on the Internet.
Also on Monday, officials from the Ministry of Industry and Information technology, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Culture and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, attended a video conference on building a healthy Internet environment.

In 1987, Memphis police shot and killed a mentally ill man. The following year, the police department formed a partnership with advocates for the mentally ill to train certain officers to deal with those situations. Those officers became the Crisis Intervention Team or CIT.
Since then, departments across the country have been forming their own CIT teams, using the Memphis model as their guide. After a drug addict was stabbed by police in Madison a few months ago, concerned citizens began asking police to adopt a system similar to the one in Memphis.
Madison police chief Noble Wray publicly rejected our model. Wray says in Memphis, officers on the CIT team need good judgment, maturity, and leadership skills whereas in Madison, those qualities are required for all officers on the force. He dubbed this the Madison Model.
So what are you saying, Wray? That our cops arent as good as yours? Bring it on.For more, go here.

A highly educational website called drunkuniversity.com has a photo of these guys, and the photo is labeled Memphis in May. Now, we dont know if this was actually taken at Memphis in May, and we dont know if these guys ever attended a university, but we are fairly confident they are indeed drunken.

Kevin Pietersen's 115 rescued England from a top-order collapse on the first day of the third and final Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge here Thursday.
At stumps England, who shortly after lunch slumped to 86 for five, were 273 for seven.
Their recovery was built around a sixth-wicket stand of 161 between Pietersen and wicket-keeper Tim Ambrose (67) who came in following noughts from struggling batsmen Ian Bell and Paul Collingwood.
But, frustratingly for England, Ambrose was out before the close, caught behind off seamer Iain O'Brien, whose figures of four for 61 in 20 overs were his best in Test cricket.
Stuart Broad was 15 not out and James Anderson one not out. New Zealand, in a match they have to win to end the series level at 1-1, were still on top at tea with England 180 for five.
And that would have been 180 for six had Jamie How at mid-wicket held a difficult low, left-handed chance offered by Ambrose, still on his tea score of 36, off O'Brien.
Ambrose went on to complete a 102-ball fifty with seven fours. At the other end, Pietersen fiercely pulled a short ball from Chris Martin to go into the 90s.
He then had a big stroke of luck when, trying to withdraw the bat against Jacob Oram, he got an underside edge which went for four.
But a classy off-driven four off Martin saw Pietersen to his 12th hundred in 39 Tests, and first at Trent Bridge, in 194 balls with 12 boundaries.
Pietersen celebrated by leaping in the air and punching his fist in front of a crowd which included Prince Philip, husband of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, who'd opened the new Bridgford Road stand.
New Zealand took the new ball as soon as they could, with England 244 for five off 80 overs.
They were rewarded shortly afterwards when Pietersen tamely edged Iain O'Brien to give debutant wicket-keeper Gareth Hopkins his first Test dismissal.
England had earlier lost three wickets in the first three overs after lunch, all of the last ball.
Andrew Strauss, England's century hero in their six-wicket second Test victory at Old Trafford, hadn't added to his lunch score of 37 he drove loosely at a wide delivery from pace bowler Kyle Mills and was well-caught at first slip by Ross Taylor.
Then 84 for three became 85 for four when Bell, hitting across the line, was clearly lbw to O'Brien. And a third wicket went down in the space of 13 balls for just two runs when Collingwood edged Mills.
Bell, often accused of not scoring runs when England really need them, had now managed just 45 runs in the series and Collingwood 32.
All-rounder Collingwood's exit made it 23 innings without a Test hundred since his 128 against the West Indies on his Durham home ground in June last year - the last time England managed the benchmark first innings total of 400.
Ambrose, whose maiden century in the second Test against New Zealand in Hamilton in March came after England had collapsed to 136 for five, now found himself facing another rescue mission.
South Africa-born Pietersen, who began his English county career here for Nottinghamshire before moving to Hampshire three years ago, made his name as a flamboyant shotmaker.
But, as his 129 in the first innings of a series-clinching victory against New Zealand in Napier, where England had been 36 for four, showed, he can bat with care and his patience was much in evidence early in this innings too.
New Zealand's seamers quickly justified Vettori's decision to field first on a soft, green-tinged pitch as the ball moved away off the seam.
Hopkins made his debut after Brendon McCullum was declared unfit to keep wicket shortly before play because of a back problem.
However, McCullum was chosen as a batsman only in place of struggling No 3 James Marshall, dropped in the only personnel change to New Zealand's second Test side.
England, for the first time since 1885, named an unchanged team for the fifth successive Test.

Congressman G. K. Butterfield (D-N.C.) today urged his congressional colleagues to support President Barack Obama's efforts to help further relieve student loan costs for millions of college graduates nationwide. Butterfield said that the president's proposal, which seeks to cap student loan payments at 10 percent of discretionary income, forgive outstanding debt after 20 years of payment and offer student borrower new opportunities to consolidate their student loans, would help North Carolinians who are experiencing record increases in the cost of higher education.
"In North Carolina the cost of tuition at schools in the state university system has jumped an average of 8.2 percent," said Butterfield. "Job creation and salaries are not keeping pace with growing tuition costs, which could deter people from seeking post-secondary education and exacerbate the unemployment rate. Although Congress has passed legislation to provide relief to student loan holders, Congress should do more to ensure Americans continue to pursue careers that will make them competitive in the global workforce. "
Earlier this year, Butterfield, a consistent advocate of job creation and education, met with staff and administrators from Edgecombe, Halifax and Vance-Greenville community colleges, as well as regional employment partners to discuss the challenges in educating the region's workforce. In April, Butterfield voted against a Republican budget resolution, which cut college aid for nearly 10 million students and slashed the maximum Pell Grant award by more than 45 percent.
