A popular topic of Coast to Coast AM is the Bible, including Bible codes, biblical prophecy, biblical discoveries, and mysteries concerning the Bible.
I have previously documented how Coast to Coast AM is controlled by Zionists, with my articles:
1) Coast to Coast AM site and show descriptions laughably contain no references to Zionism
2) Coast to Coast AM smears Islam, stays silent on Zionism
However, there are two groups within Zionism, and those are the Jewish Zionists and the Christian Zionists.
The Jewish Zionists don't recognize the authority of the New Testament, while the Christian Zionists do.
A search for the "Old Testament" on their site turns up no negative results, while a search for "New Testament" turns up many negative results, including six on the first page with the keyword "forgeries."
The authenticity of the New Testament is trashed while the authenticity of the Old Testament is championed with this entry:
"The parting of the Red Sea, as described in the Old Testament, might have taken placed as described, according to new computer simulations."
While there are carrots thrown out to Christian Zionists, with the appearances of Christian apologists like Hal Lindsey and Mike Heiser, there is duplicitous double-dealing with Christianity being undermined by shows like these:
"Life of Jesus/Titanic Stories
Sunday, April 8, 2012
Ian Punnett was joined, in the first half, by historian and Bible expert, Bart Ehrman, who discussed the debate over whether or not Jesus existed."
"New Testament Forgeries
Saturday March 19, 2011
Author and religious studies professor Bart Ehrman argued that many books of the New Testament are forgeries written by people other than the ones to whom they are explicitly attributed. This notion is widely accepted within the field of biblical scholarship, he said."
"Biblical Contradictions
Saturday March 13, 2010
Biblical expert Bart Ehrman discussed contradictory views about the life of Jesus Christ, and the creation of the Bible."
"Biblical Contradictions
Saturday April 18, 2009
Ian Punnett was joined by Bible expert and author Bart Ehrman for a discussion on the apparent contradictions found in the New Testament."
A search on their site for "Moses" turns up no such negative results, despite Moses being the biggest figure of the Bible up until the time of Jesus, showing that a preference for the Old Testament isn't the only double standard the Zionist handlers at Coast to Coast AM apply to the Bible.

4 U.S. Code § 120 - Procedure if no electronic database provided
§ 120.
Procedure if no electronic database provided
(a)Safe Harbor.—If neither a State nor designated database provider provides an electronic database under section 119, a home service provider shall be held harmless from any tax, charge, or fee liability in such State that otherwise would be due solely as a result of an assignment of a street address to an incorrect taxing jurisdiction if, subject to section 121, the home service provider employs an enhanced zip code to assign each street address to a specific taxing jurisdiction for each level of taxing jurisdiction and exercises due diligence at each level of taxing jurisdiction to ensure that each such street address is assigned to the correct taxing jurisdiction. If an enhanced zip code overlaps boundaries of taxing jurisdictions of the same level, the home service provider must designate one specific jurisdiction within such enhanced zip code for use in taxing the activity for such enhanced zip code for each level of taxing jurisdiction. Any enhanced zip code assignment changed in accordance with section 121 is deemed to be in compliance with this section. For purposes of this section, there is a rebuttable presumption that a home service provider has exercised due diligence if such home service provider demonstrates that it has—
expended reasonable resources to implement and maintain an appropriately detailed electronic database of street address assignments to taxing jurisdictions;
implemented and maintained reasonable internal controls to promptly correct misassignments of street addresses to taxing jurisdictions; and
(b)Termination of Safe Harbor.—Subsection (a) applies to a home service provider that is in compliance with the requirements of subsection (a), with respect to a State for which an electronic database is not provided under section 119 until the later of—
18 months after the nationwide standard numeric code described in section 119(a) has been approved by the Federation of Tax Administrators and the Multistate Tax Commission; or
6 months after such State or a designated database provider in such State provides such database as prescribed in section 119(a).
(Added Pub. L. 106–252, § 2(a), July 28, 2000, 114 Stat. 628.)
Effective Date; Application of Amendment
Section effective July 28, 2000, and applicable only to customer bills issued after the first day of the first month beginning more than 2 years after July 28, 2000, see section 3 of Pub. L. 106–252, set out as a note under section 116 of this title.

PDE UI Incubator ApiTools Compare
API Comparison Tool
What is it for?
The tool compares APIs exposed by two versions of your product. It reports changes that might break backward compatibility and provides a list of backward-compatible modifications.
Reports are produced as XML and HTML files. Here is the sample report showing APIs modified in a way that might break backward compatibility:
and here is the sample report on backward compatible API changes:
What's an API?
Good question. For starters here are some links; more information will be added later to this section.
Evolving Java-based APIs - What is considered an API in Eclipse
How to Use the Eclipse API - APIs in Eclipse from consumer's view point
Binary Compatibility - The Java Language Specification
API Javadoc tags - Potential way to work with "soft" rules used in Eclipse
How does the tool work?
The tool contains two operations: create an API snapshot and compare the code against API snapshot.
Both operations can be accessed via menus or run in a batch mode.
The dialog to create API snapshot looks like this:
And the dialog to compare code with the API snapshot looks like this:
Batch processing
The tool can be used in the batch mode. The command line is:
ApiTools { -create | -compare } -control <control_file_name>
Control file is an XML file that specifies repository location, location of the input or output, and a few options. Those files can be created from UI dialogs using "Export" commands.
What's a repository?
Repository is a place where the tool stores API snapshots. At present the only type of repository supported is a folder on the file system. The location of the folder should be specified in the "Repository" tab:
Do I need to specify something else?
For comparison, report location should be specified on the "Report" tab:
This is the folder where XML and HTML reports will be placed by the tool.
While not a requirement, check the options tab:
- Report APIs modified in backward-compatible way - only breaking changes will be detected and reported if this box is unchecked.
- Report missing source containers - uncheck this option if you compare one bundle against the snapshot made from a whole product.
- Report additions on interfaces as API breakage - adding new method to an interface is a breaking change, but a lot of interfaces in Eclipse has a soft "do not implement this interface" rule which make it OK. Uncheck this box to reduce the amount of noise generated; check this box to report this as a breaking change.
- Exclude known differences - the file containing known differences can be placed in the repository to eliminate those differences from subsequent comparison results.
Getting the Pieces
Source code is stored in the PDE incubator (:pserver:email@example.com:/cvsroot/eclipse) in the HEAD/pde-incubator/api-tooling/plugins.
There are two plug-ins:
- org.eclipse.pde.api.tools
- org.eclipse.pde.api.tools.ui
The Eclipse 3.3M4 or later should be used to compile those plug-ins.
Eclipse Bugzilla - Eclipse bug tracking database.
PDE Incubator - New projects that might be incorporated into PDE in future.
PDE UI Home Page - The main PDE UI web site.

Hamburgers in Hopkinsville, KY
TroyServe, a Hoptown Hall forum member, has posted a time-lapse video of Hopkinsville's famous Ferrell's Hamburgers on YouTube.
TroyServe made the video from Hoptown Hall Webcam images during the recent snowstorm. (The webcam is permanently focused on Ferrell's, a tiny 24-hour hamburger joint that is a treasured icon of Hopkinsville, KY.)
In the video, the snow covers the street, deepens, and then melts. Watch carefully, and you'll see some curious details blip by -- for example, a guy pushing a truck down Main Street and a snow shoveler sitting down on the sidewalk to rest.
Ferrell's was in our local news this week because a grease fire ignited behind its grill. The fire department was called after the cook couldn't put out the fire with a splash of salt. Meanwhile, the Kentucky New Era's (our newspaper's) president Chuck Henderson wielded a fire extinguisher against the flames without success.
The fire department killed the flames in very short order (thus avoiding shame, ridicule. and public condemnation.) The fire occurred at 8:30 a.m., and the restaurant was open for business again by 10:30 a.m.
In other news about Ferrell's, it was recently inspected by the Health Department and received a score of 75/100. The re-inspection score was 89/100.
Critical violations included raw eggs stored by a hot grill, employees washing hands in dishwashing sink and using common towel to dry hands. In addition, an employee failed to wash hands after returning from break. Another major violation was that the same spatula was used to flip cooked and uncooked burgers.
Source: "Restaurant Inspections, "Kentucky New Era, February 26, 2008
Some local residents are unperturbed.
Did anyone really think Ferrell's would get a high grade?
I don't believe this low rating in the KNE is going to affect their business much. Most of their customers probably don't even read the KNE.
As long as they are open, Ferrell's will still be slapping them burgers on that hot grill -- with whatever spatula the old lady chooses!
Source: Comment by bigcountry on the thread, "Restaurant Inspections. " Hoptown Hall Forum, February 27, 2008
The "old lady" is Mrs. Cecil Ferrell who is in her upper 80's. I believe she is 89. She was 86 in June, 2005, when she shared a stage with President Bush. He was in Hopkinsville to promote the privatization of Social Security and Mrs. Ferrell was on a panel of local citizens who participated in the presentation. President Bush commented that Mrs. Ferrell reminded him of his mother.
The banter between Bush and Ferrell quickly turned to hamburgers.
"I'm really hungry. Can you help me out?" Bush asked.
"The only thing is to bring you a hamburger," Ferrell said as the crowd erupted in cheers and laughter.
Source: "Bush Touts Plan" by Jennifer P. Brown, Kentucky New Era, June 3, 2005. (Subscription required.)
Ferrell's Hamburgers opened in 1929. A second Ferrell's is located in Cadiz, KY, and it enjoys a similar affection and loyalty from its patrons.
In case you missed it when I posted it previously, you can download a great Ferrell's Hamburgers wallpaper for your computer's desktop.

If I could avoid eBay to clear out the extras in my collection I would. I just don't know of any great other options. I've only had tepid response from listing things on Craigslist.
I was surprised to find that having true (high) shipping costs hasn't overly hindered my international auctions as much as I had thought. Like I mentioned, I cleaned out my entire 12" collection including Taun Tauns and Speeder Bikes. All of them ended up shipping international where shipping was $55 or higher per item. I think it ended up driving bidders to buy lots of stuff and combine shipping. I had a guy from Germany buy $500 worth of stuff as a result and pay $175 in shipping.Not sure if shipping from Canada to international locations is similar or worse than US rates though.
That's hilarious in a super obnoxious way! I thought you were going to say he sold it to you for $15.

New Laws in California require the use of a 2 speed pump
The California Energy Commission adopted some "amended language" to the Title 20 Appliance Efficiency Standards. These standards specifically relate to swimming pool and spa pumps and motors. Passed on December 3, 2008, these changes were a result of nearly a year of review of comments and recommendations from pool and spa manufacturers, trade groups and pool and spa contractors. (editor's note: No one bothered to contact internet retailers? 'snif!)
"We've had differences of opinion on how to get the best results, but the good news is, generally everyone is focused now on energy efficiency," said Gary Fernstrom, a staff augmentation employee at Pacific Gas & Electric Co., who has been heavily involved in creating legislation to improve energy efficiency in pools and spas.
As of January 1, 2008, filtration pumps sold with a capacity of 1hp or higher must be capable of operating at two or more speeds. This would include the variable speed pumps made by Pentair, such as the Intelliflo, which will seek the lowest possible energy usage.
New language to Title 20 now includes replacement motors as well. And "capacity" is further defined as the sum of horsepower x service factor, or hp x sf, both of which can be found on the motor rating plate.
But don't rush right out to replace your perfectly good pool motor just yet! Currently operating motors and pool pumps will be grandfathered in ~ no need to worry. Until your motor dies! But very soon, all new motors and new pumps sold in the Golden State will have to be multi speed or variable speed. This will reduce the demand on the PG&E power grid, and save pool owners money at the same time!
This author hopes the great state of Texas will follow suit. Per Capita, Texas has over twice the amount of Electricity Consumption! Let's Go, Texas! Get on the stick, and reduce your energy reliance. We'll all swim easier when we pay less to enjoy our pool!

Wake Forest Baptist Health — Lexington Medical Center will lose 4.5 positions after a reduction in force announcement Wednesday from its parent organization.
Wake Forest Baptist Health — Lexington Medical Center will lose 4.5 positions after a reduction in force announcement Wednesday from its parent organization.
The 4.5 positions are out of a total of 950 jobs within Wake Forest Baptist Health that will be cut.
"Lexington Medical Center already has much of (the reduction in force) in its review mirror because most of it has already been achieved through office integration and attrition," said Dr. John D. McConnell, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center chief executive officer.
Of the 950 positions, 56.5 are jobs at Lexington Medical Center. Through back office integration resulting from the 2008 merger between Lexington Memorial Hospital and Wake Forest Baptist Health, attrition and retirements, 52 of the 56.5 positions have already been achieved, said Kathy Sushereba, communication director for the medical center, in an email. The remaining 4.5 positions will be cut over the course of the year.
"The medical center is constantly changing; we are going through what everyone in the industry going through," said Steve Snelgrove, president of Lexington Medical Center
This week, as part of the transition, 76 Wake Forest Baptist employees are being laid off, stated a press release from WFBH. Of the 950 full-time equivalent positions, about 50 percent of the eliminations will be achieved through deletion of vacant, temporary and contract labor positions, as well as normal attrition and retirements. Consequently, there may be as many as 475 currently filled employee FTE positions eliminated by the end of June, the press release added.
Snelgrove said the layoffs would not affect the patient care or patient to nurse ratio at Lexington Medical Center, adding that the ratio is 1 to 6.
McConnell also pointed out that the decision for the layoffs was proactive, not retroactive. The planning for the layoffs began in the spring of this year in response to what corporate officials predict will be coming in the next few months within the health care industry and the declining governmental reimbursement to providers, McConnell said. Even with expansion of health care coverage to the uninsured, industry experts expect at least a 10 percent reduction in reimbursements in the next two to three years, the press release stated.
"We wanted to position the medical center to continue what has been a phenomenal two years. We've had two of the most successful years in (Wake Forest Baptist Health) as a whole. We want to not just survive but continue to grow and be successful," McConnell said.
The layoffs put the organization in a place to financially respond more rapidly to the potential changes in the next 12 to 24 months, McConnell added.
With the announcement of the layoffs in electronic form, Snelgrove said the medical center had experienced some unease.
"I think any time there is change and you communicate it in a large electronic message like this, there are people that are going to ask questions. We are having a town hall meeting (Thursday) to help employees understand what is going on. There is very little change here, but we always want to make sure we are available and transparent," Snelgrove said.

Russian figure skater Evgeni Plushenko stole Thursday's show without competing. Our daily recap details his surprise retirement and more big news from Sochi
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia - There was no official medal ceremony at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park, but there was one rendition of the national anthem.
As America's three ski slopestyle medalists made their way from interview to interview Thursday afternoon after sweeping the medals in the sport's Olympic debut, a small group of U.S. fans began to sing. It was badly off-key, but it was a poignant gesture not lost on the athletes competing here who for so many years were told their sport was too extreme to be included in something as traditional as the Olympic Games.
"I'm glad we're still holding on with traditional sports like figure skating and stuff, but we are just dominating in freestyle sports, and I think it's awesome," said U.S. fan Tom O'Conner of Buffalo who was part of the chorus singing The Star-Spangled Banner. "This is our sport."
It's hard to argue with that. Since the Games opened last week, Americans have won nine medals — five gold — in snowboarding or freeskiing events. That accounts for 75% of the USA's total medal haul after Thursday's events.
Consider this 18-hour span at the Extreme Park, home to slopestyle, halfpipe, moguls, aerials and ski and snowboard cross: American women finished first, third and fourth in the snowboard halfpipe just before midnight. By midafternoon the following day, the USA had added three more medals in men's ski slopestyle: a gold for Joss Christensen, silver for Gus Kenworthy and bronze for Nick Goepper.
MEN'S SWEEP: Americans take podium places in men's slopestyle
WOMEN'S SKI SLOPESTYLE: Devin Logan takes silver
"It's freaking amazing," U.S. freeskiing coach Skogen Sprang said. "I'm still kind of in shock. You don't really talk about that before. The chance was there, but you don't really expect it to happen. You can't expect it to happen."
But maybe he should have. The Americans have deeper rosters of talent in most of the freestyle skiing and snowboarding events than any other country, which is exactly what Christensen showed in his surprising gold medal day.
FTW: Olympian tries to save stray puppies
Christensen was the final man picked for the slopestyle team, and a controversial one, as he was in a dead heat with other skiers vying for that final spot. If not for a big win in the final qualifier in Park City in January, he would have been watching these Games on television from back home in Utah.
But here he was, and he dominated, turning in three of the top four scores of the day (including the semifinals). He could have won gold and silver by himself. Kenworthy had the second-best score in the final, as he joined Christensen and Goepper in landing at least one risky triple jump.
Teammate Bobby Brown also landed his first-ever triple during a qualification round but couldn't stick it in the finals and finished ninth.
"The jumps were so big that they were pretty effortless but definitely scary," Kenworthy said.
Scary, he said, because once committed to trying the triple there are only two outcomes — land it, or crash hard.
"If it doesn't go right, the consequences are a lot higher," Kenworthy said. "I think everyone obviously wants an Olympic medal, so it's a reason worth sending it."
Just last month, a triple was unheard of in slopestyle. Kenworthy and Goepper each hit one in the X Games in Aspen, Colo., becoming the first men to do it in competition. Christensen arrived in Sochi knowing he'd need one too, so he learned it this week, practiced it and nailed a switch triple 1440 — in which he takes off backward and flips three times while doing four full rotations — en route to gold.
That Christensen hadn't even tried his triple until this week might sound crazy to those in the traditional sporting sphere. It's not crazy to freeskiers, who enjoy the creative and innovative side of their events as much as the adrenaline of trying the wildest tricks.
"That's what makes it so cool, is there is such this cool, creative element to what we do. It never gets stale," Goepper said.
"When slopestyle skiers are done competing, we go out the next day, we go skiing, and for fun we would hit this same course tomorrow and just work on our own personal style and our own flavor. NFL players, I don't think for fun they go out and smash into each other."

Swiss filmmaker Anna Luif marks her feature film debut with a coming-of-age story of a 13-year-old girl who struggles with issues typically faced by teenagers -- as well as some that are not so typical -- in the 2003 film Little Girl Blue. Sandra (Muriel Neukom) and her family have just moved to a new section of town and know virtually no one.
With little to do but bike around town, Sandra discovers a lost wallet that turns out to belong to a fellow classmate named Mike (Andreas Eberle). The handsome young man turns out to be just as much of a loner as Sandra and the two become friends.
As Sandra begins to fall in love with her friend, she also learns that her arch-enemy, the supercool and extremely nasty Nadja (Marina Guerrini), has also set her sights on Mike.
Sandra's chance to further her relationship with Mike is jeopardized when they discover that Mike's mother has started having an affair with Sandra's father -- though Mike has no idea who the man is and Sandra isn't very keen to let him know the truth.
Little Girl Blue was selected to participate in the 2003 Montreal World Film Festival and the 2003 Locarno International Film Festival.

Ready for another round of earnings reports? Samsung has just published their estimated Q2 earnings for all to view. Starting with the operating profit, Samsung estimates that it jumped 47 percent to 9.5 trillion Korean won ($8.3 billion US dollars). The second quarter sales were also quite good at an estimated KRW57tn ($49.9bn USD). This upsurge probably had to do with the launch of the Galaxy S4 that, contrary to some predictions, actually seems to be doing very well if JK Shin is to be believed.
But analysts might be a bit disappointed. They estimated slightly higher results (KRW10.16tn, $8.9bn USD) in operating profits. As for sales, analysts had predicted KRW58.7tn ($51.8bn USD). Samsung is still making a killing in comparison to all other manufacturers. And keep in mind that these are just the official estimates from Samsung; the actual profits won't be released until July 26.
In your eyes, how do you think Samsung is doing?

(June 10, 2013) - The fourth event of the Louisiana Saltwater Series Redfish Series was held at Port Fourchon Marina in Port Fourchon on Saturday. Despite a week of afternoon thunderstorms and rising temperatures, typical of a Louisiana spring, 39 teams blasted off from Belle Pass in different directions in the hopes of landing two great redfish. The catch and release format challenged anglers to catch a limit of two legal redfish using artificial lures only.
Many teams were eager to weigh in their fish caught on what turned out to be a clear and sunny day filled with great memories. When the scales opened at 1 p.m., a steady stream of anglers lined up to see if their fish were large enough to contend for the top prize. During the weigh in, anglers, friends and families enjoyed a jambalaya, fish and dessert lunch provided by Chris Moran and the staff of Port Fourchon Marina.
Friends Bobby Monsted, III, and Aaron Gelfand, both residents of New Orleans, have fished several events since the tournament's inception. Taking home top prize for the first time this year with a total weight of 15.38 pounds claimed them an opportunity to compete in the LASS Championship in October.
In order to compete in the Championship, teams must either finish within payout in one of the qualifying events or compete in at least four of the six qualifying events.
Anglers also took home Shimano sublimated jerseys, Shimano reel and tackle bags, a Stick-It Anchor Pin, annual memberships to SeaTow and a Frabill net. These are just a few of the items from our great sponsors that are awarded to anglers as extra fish raffle prizes. Teams are allowed to bring in extra fish in addition to their weigh-in fish to be entered into drawings for special prizes, with the number of entries determined by the number of extra fish brought in to be tagged. Anglers were also treated to breakfast of donuts donated by Krispy Kreme, another one of our supportive sponsors.
The awards ceremony started with the recognition of the first place youth, Christopher McElveen, who also took home the first place youth win in the Lafitte Redfish Tournament. McElveen weighed in a beautiful 5.85 pound redfish at Saturday's weigh-in.
The top finishing teams, taking home over $6,920 in cash prizes, include: 2nd place, Jacob Leininger and Jeff Rogers; 3rd place, Chris Kennedy and Steven Hooter; 4th place, brothers Gary and Gus Wilson; 5th place, Paul Dufrene and Curtis Duet; 6th place, Jack Johnson and David Naron; 7th place, Brandon Treadaway and Kevin Bergeron and for the team with the 'smallest fish', the team of Richard Ziegler, Sr. and Chris Barbot.
A total of 71 redfish were tagged and released by Aquarium of the Americas staff as part of the Louisiana Marine Sport Fish Tagging Program, where anglers become citizen scientists for the agency, collecting invaluable data.
Two live speckled trout and two live redfish were also tagged and released during weigh-in at the first Louisiana Saltwater Series youth event of 2013, held at Grand Isle State Park during the Department's annual Free Fishing Weekend. This was an opportunity for everyone including LASS Redfish Series anglers to bring their families with them to enjoy a fun filled weekend together. Redfish series anglers Chad Carlton and Scott Guileyardo brought their families down for the weekend, and while they competed in the Redfish Tournament in Port Fourchon, the remainder of the family enjoyed the Fish Fest at Grand Isle State Park.
"What a great time with my boys! From check-in to door prizes, we enjoyed every second. I loved that my boys were able to participate in this event while my husband fished in the Redfish Series Tournament," said Leslie Carlton.
There were 53 participants in the Youth Tournament at Grand Isle State Park. The beautiful, sunny day was accompanied by calm surf that was perfect for fishing from the beach or even a little wade fishing. The children and their families enjoyed a day packed with fishing and fun, educational activities such as seining, cast netting, fish tagging, fish ageing, fish id, fish prints and minnow races. Anglers and their friends and families also enjoyed hot dogs sponsored by The Friends of Grand Isle.
The next LASS event is a Redfish Tournament, scheduled for Saturday, June 29 in Delacroix at Sweetwater Marina. The next LASS youth event will be in November at Myrtle Grove Marina. LASS will also be hosting its first ever kayak tournament in July of 2013. For complete information, including rules, regulations and registration go to www.lasaltwaterseries.com.
The Louisiana Saltwater Series is hosted in conjunction with the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Foundation. The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Foundation was formed to provide a means for individuals and corporations to become partners with the Department and Commission in the challenge of conserving Louisiana's wildlife and fish resources.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is charged with managing and protecting Louisiana's abundant natural resources. For more information, visit us at www.wlf.louisiana.gov on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ldwffb or follow us on Twitter @LDWF.

Zowie Gear Hammer e-Sports Headset Review
Zowie. Wowie Zowie?! Nope, this is Zowie Gear, a relatively new brand for computer gaming peripheral products. The people who work at Zowie Gear have previously developed and manufactured products for professional gaming at other companies, and created the new company with the ambition of becoming the best manufacturer of professional gaming gear. Currently, the line-up of products is mostly mousepads, but there are also two headsets and two gaming bundles. The gaming bundle seems to be a painted Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical, along with a mousepad, mouse bag, and low-friction teflon pads (mouse skatez). I'm not quite sure why this mouse is in the Professional Gaming bundle, it seems quite pedestrian compared to the gaming mice from Logitech, Razer, and even Microsoft. I'm literally still scratching my head... Anyway, enough about the other products, I'll stop, it's Hammer time.
The headset I'll be looking at in this review is the 3.5mm version of the Zowie Gear Hammer (there is also a USB version of the Hammer). Will it be better than other gaming headsets? Is it the best for professional gaming?
Closer Look:
In the world of audio, the better headphones tend to be packaged in a box rather than one of those annoying plastic bubble things. This isn't a definitive rule, it's not even really a fair generalization, but it certainly raised my expectations as soon as I saw the headset. On the front of the box, you can clearly see the words "designed for e-sports." So, this is not an ordinary multimedia headset aimed at the general public, it has been specifically designed for serious competitive gaming. The back of the box lists the important and unique features, and the technical specifications, as you would expect (which you can see properly, later in this review).
The product package comprises of the headset itself (which has an in-line volume/mic control), an extension cable, and a pair of alternative earpads.
Let's look at each of these components in detail.

Consumerist: Gaming might be a multibillion-dollar industry that attracts the world's biggest names in entertainment, music, and sports, but it is nonetheless treated by both the media and the business world with a reductionist shrug. Companies like EA are happy to foster the misinformed perception of your average "gamer" as a whiny, nitpicky loner who will complain about anything, as that image only helps to discredit those who have a valid complaint about a relatively pricey consumer product.
always looking for a scapegoat are't we?
It's easier than admitting the truth.
"It's easier than admitting the truth."
What are you? Some kind of homophobe!?!
They did admit the truth about screwing up with a lot this generation. This is silly but it's a lot better then anything activision has done, still waiting for them to admit their mistakes (which they won't). EA maybe stupid 90% o the time but they still put out good games. Activision only has cod they killed their other two games.
ppl cry and yet they buy from them...
||.........___||............ ||
A more logical thinking person would think the people still buying from them dont have a problem with them.. hmm
or maybe, just maybe EA didn't let have any other choice
I'm with EA on this one ;)
Edit: I was referring to the whiny madden fans jeez
you want Madden fans to stop complaining, let go of the exclusive rights to NFL, and let someone more talented make a NFL game, either that or make madden properly.
Well they are a bad company but it is true people are being a little bitchy and whiny at ea for stupid little things.But they are pretty bad...
Even so, the title of this article made me laugh pretty hard....Homophobes and Whiny Madden Fans, rofl.
Why there failing there always looking to rip us off like dead space 3 microtransactions .
Is this where I go to kill all them gay prostitutes?
Wtf is wrong with E3?
EA dude.....not E3
No he's right! E3 is just as guilty. Epic game reveals every year? Free demos to the public before the games come out? Do they really think people are looking for stuff like that?! /s
YES it was a typo. Thanks a lot for the dislikes. Anyways EA is pathetic.
The whiny fans are the biggest trouble in modern gaming the spoilt brats have come of age and still crave the mothers teet.
"The whiny fans are the biggest trouble in modern gaming..."
Not the ones who bend over for publishers....
Gullible yes men that rather bend the knee instead of wishing for better games and better game features are the actual bane of this gaming generation
bioware has had LGBT characters for a long time. that isnt the reason why people hate EA. that is just a small group of uber-religious idiots.
the real reason why people hate EA is because they ruin franchises constantly and push all sorts of anti consumer locks on their products to rake in extra money.
Having zero morals and bad morals are similar. It's impossible to have no morals. Morals is what determines good and evil for you, which everyone has. And yeah, LGBT is not right.
How come every person that doesn't support gay marriage becomes a "homophobe" ? The entitlement of being gay is what annoys the hell out of me. You are gay, fine, you are not special at all though, so stop acting like it.
And calling Madden fans whiny? Lmao, maybe if the game changed it up once in a while they wouldn't "whine"
... is called 'entitlement' nowadays...!?
If the majority decides that they don't want legally recognized gay marriages and that NO ONE should receive one...how is that UNequal?
I'm not trying to take a side, but I don't necessarily agree that it is an "inequality". A lot of things being illegal make those that desire them feel bad, but when it isn't legal for anyone, it isn't an inequality.
And then some people say that being gay isn't a choice because it's genetic, but also that no one should feel like they should consider changing. However, there are lots of genetic tendencies under 10% that we either discourage, often change, or even don't accept.
Again, I'm not taking a side, but it, like so many debates today, is less of a 2D image than some people make it out to be.
Not at all, but just because someone doesn't support or care about equal rights for gays, it doesn't mean they are homophobic.
A phobia is something you are afraid of. So is anyone really "scared of gays"? Are there heterophobics within the gay community?
Because (at least in the U.S.) it's been decided that marriage is a basic right that goes beyond mob rule. If the majority decides that we should Soldierone would that make it ok? No because we'd infringe on his right to live.
Year by year more states legalize same-sex marriage because someone challenges it properly, it won't take that many years before the majority of the states has it rightfully legalized.
"Because (at least in the U.S.) it's been decided that marriage is a basic right that goes beyond mob rule"
What decision are you referring to?
And I suppose you'd rather have minorities rule (so long as they do so in favor of what you agree with)?
The latest case of course: Hollingsworth v. Perry
Whatever I, you or whatever group may agree on is irrelevant since we're talking about a basic right. Just like no group can decide whether you should live or die, no group should decide on who you can mutually willfully marry.
So much for "not taking a side."
...which is still in review by the supreme court.
And no, I haven't taken a side. I'm only making the point that there is validity to the idea of homosexual marriage not being a basic right. I tend to stick my neck out for the underdog.
... 'sexuality' should have nothing to do with it!
SilentNegotiator logic...
You are restricted of basic human rights, but it's fair because you are a minority and the majority says it's fair for you to have less rights than us normal people!
EDIT: Hey SN, why don't you go back to the 1700's and take the majority's view on slavery while you're at it? Just because it's the general consensus (which in this case, I hardly believe it is anyway) doesn't make it right.
"How come every person that doesn't support gay marriage becomes a "homophobe"?"
the same reason why people who didn't support legalizing interracial marriages were racist. you cant discriminate against a group of people and not be labeled a bigot.
seeking equal rights is not entitlement. the only thing that gays have been entitled to in this nation and across the globe is being the 1# target for violent hate crimes.
Just because you dont support gay marriage dont mean you dont think it should be allowed.
I dont support it but we live in a free country so we can do what ever we want to do.Nobody should have the power to tell anyone who they can or cant have a relationship with.Unfortunately the media portrays every one who dont support it is homophobic
I also hate the constant comparisons of homophobia and racism.Its implying that people that believe in what the bible teach is ignorant or some sort of brainwashed.Practice what you preach, we can believe what we want, we can have relationships with who ever we want.I dont support sex before marriage but I still have sex because I can do what ever I want to do, im always explaining this to my homosexual friends because they always fall for the crap the media say.
I thought Metal Gear games were suppose to make you smarter. All people should be equal and deserve to marry their mate PERIOD. You're the one who thinks he is special, hell yeah its homophobic. You're basically telling them "you cant have what i have" , haha.
I know everyone has opinions, but don't get pissed if someone calls you a homophobe cause you're one, If i said blacks shouldn't get marry what am i ? Not a racist ?
"I thought Metal Gear games were suppose to make you smarter."
That's one of the most hilariously stupid things I've ever read.
Did people fail to read the part where I said "you are gay, FINE"
No where at all did I say I'm against it, I just hate the entitlement of it. People that are gay pretend they are fighting the same fight as slaves, and they are not. If you are gay, I'm treating you like EVERY OTHER PERSON. you don't get your way all the time? Too bad, either do I.
I get disgusted by couples making out in public, yet gay people do it and call you a homophobe if you say something about it. It's crap like that I can't stand.
You say they aren't special at all.. well, they are if they can't marry.
They certainly have a 'special' set of rules, disallowing them not to marry.
That does seem they are special. Although, not in a good way.
How is wanting life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness being entitled? How is wanting to be treated equally entitled?
How does two people of the same sex getting married affect your life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness at all?????
What are you so afraid of?
"The entitlement of being gay is what annoys the hell out of me."
It's because of people like you why they call it "gay-rights".
They are, and always will be, nothing but rights. Just like the rights of any other person.
" You are gay, fine, you are not special at all though, so stop acting like it. "
Then stop denying them their rights. And they won't have the need to speak out against the fact that their basic rights are violated.
Gay people aren't special. That's the whole thing. They want to be treated like any other person. But the moment you deny them their basic rights, you have to label it in order to make a point.
Lol this is just further proving my point.
According to these comments either you stand in line and go full on supporting gay rights, or you get abused. No where at all did I say I'm against it, yet look at all the hate about my comment. "people like you" you mean people that honestly do not care about it? Okay. I never fight it, I never supported it. If you are gay, then go be gay, just don't act like that makes you better than me.
Just because a small group of people view something (that goes against nature) as ok or legal, that doesn't make it so. What if a group of people think they should be able to marry their children or their animals (pets)? Should we legalize that as well? I'm sorry, but if nature doesn't support you there is probably a reason, like what your doing is unnatural. Just because you may or may not be born with the tendency doesn't mean its ok, supposedly some people are born with a tendency to be murders but it doesn't mean we should legalize murder. Now, I'm not saying that you aren't allowed to be gay. It's your life so go do what you want in the privacy of your own home, but do not expect the rest of the world to accept your lifestyle as ok. Because there are lots of different lifestyles out there that want acceptance, like multiple spouses, incest, bestiality, ect... That doesn't mean we should accept them. Sorry, nature doesn't support you. If you think it does, then put all the homosexuals on two islands, gays on one lesbians on the other, and wait about 70 years. Know what would happen? Nothing, they wouldn't multiply, they would just die out. But why, if it's natural and normal why would nature not allow it or make a way? Sometimes the answer you don't like, is still the right answer especially when its the only answer. It is not a basic right unless your ready to make ALL lifestyle choices a basic right, even the ones YOU don't agree with.
"What if a group of people think they should be able to marry their children or their animals (pets)? "
It's called consent you idiot.
Two gay ADULTS who consent. That's what this is. Take your irrational nonsense elsewhere.
" Because there are lots of different lifestyles out there that want acceptance, like multiple spouses, incest, bestiality, ect... That doesn't mean we should accept them. Sorry, nature doesn't support you."
Ah but in nature it's normal for a male to have multiple females.
And I can only assume you are christian. So you believe in Adam and Eve? So you believe we came from incest. How nice.
". It's your life so go do what you want in the privacy of your own home, but do not expect the rest of the world to accept your lifestyle as ok"
No one is expecting anything other than their basic right. Such as the CONSTITUTION provides. ( Thank goodness I live in the Netherlands where people actually uphold the constitution we have here)
". Sorry, nature doesn't support you. If you think it does, then put all the homosexuals on two islands, gays on one lesbians on the other, and wait about 70 years. Know what would happen? Nothing, they wouldn't multiply, they would just die out"
How is this relevant to a world populated with about 7 billion people. A world that is OVERPOPULATED. And yet you would deny someone their right to love each other because you decided to be a keeper of "nature"( even though homosexuality is clearly observed in "NATURE", so your point is mood ).
Perhpas homosexuality is a trigger to prevent over population, a mechanism from nature? Maybe.
"Sometimes the answer you don't like, is still the right answer especially when its the only answer. It is not a basic right unless your ready to make ALL lifestyle choices a basic right, even the ones YOU don't agree with."
Exactly, just like how you don't like reality and the fact that two consenting adults should have the same right as any other couple who consent in marriage. A child can not consent into ADULTRY. An animal can not consent into bestiality.
It's not a lifestyle choice. You don't choose to be gay. ( But you as a christian, perhaps a muslism, probably think it's the devil poking a stick ) So when two consenting homosexuals want to get married. It should not be up to bigots like you because you are being doom and gloomy about the existence of human beings.
Your fear is unneeded.
Lol, not children as in underage. All adults have or had parents so they are or were someones child. Your entire argument is that its not a choice, my opinion says it is. Your insecurity causes you to insult and disrespect other opinions except your own and I do not. You make assumptions you do not know therefore your argument is weak. Non religious people can have opinions too. Wow, talk about fear
You aren't special either. So why not let gay couples have the same rights as you? No biggie.
Why stop at gay couples? What about the mom that wants to marry her son, or the dad that wants to marry his daughter, or the guy that wants to marry his 2 girlfriends, or his pet, or farm animal, or his sex robot. Just because your lifestyle minority grows doesn't mean people have to accept your lifestyle as natural with all the basic rights. Sorry, no. Marriage between one man and one woman is as old as time itself, nothing, nothing can change that, even if one day its accepted as ok and we allow the guy to marry his robot spouse.
Because homosexuality is not even remotely associated with incest or bestiality or any of the other tired cop out arguments guys like you come up with to do nothing but deny a basic human right to people who are different from you.
You don't like gay marriage? Don't have one. No one is forcing you. In fact, no one is forcing you to like it either. Let people live the life they want. Your judgement of them probably won't change their minds.
Wait a minute. How did I contribute to EA being blacklisted?
And this is why EA can go suck my dick! Nice way to treat your customers EA.....eat shit and die!
Yeah, homophobes and Madden fans; that's it. -_-
If not for FIFA, I would have no business with these people *sigh*
No they are off base there. EA had a positive momentum going at the start of this gen with new ip's and good games.
Now however they have milked those same ip's to death and gone dlc mad. I mostly rent EA games now days, only one I bought was DS3 and just because I love that series. Waited until a price drop though, another EA staple. Wait a couple of months and their games drop in price usually before others released at the same time...
Make a Madden game that isn't completely broken mediocre and then we'll talk.
Exactly. Every Madden looks "good" in the previews to some people, but in the end, when the actual game releases, it's always one or the other:
The game fixes some stuff, and makes stuff worse (Madden NFL 13)
The game keeps the SAME CORE ISSUES that explain why people STILL want 2K back (Madden NFL 12)
I think it's time for the end of yearly releases for sports games, it's too soon of a turnaround to do any drastic improvements and changes. So all they do is change the menus, make a few gameplay tweaks, update rosters and viola, last years sports title rebranded for this year.
Instead, sports games should be developed for 2-3 years like a AAA title and during years when it's not releasing, release DLC with roster updates, tweaks, new modes, etc.
So, they apologize and move up a bit, then turn around and blame their customers..
Yeah, makes sense. Right back at 'Worst Company.' Good job, EA.
Blaming "homophobes" for their image problems and using the LGBT community as a sheild is actually extremely insulting to the gay community. Its such an obvious, shallow ploy to shield them from valid criticism. Perhaps there are some LGBT users reading this who might agree with me?
Ea people don't hate because of gay characters or madden cover, people dislike you because you ruin great franchises just so every game will appeal to the cod audience, you try and squeeze every penny and dime out of your consumers...
At the beginning of this gen you created new and good ips and now your just money grabbing cash cows that streamline every game you make!
I?is certainly the question that everyone should think of.A simple word yet very effective.This modern era is disgusting,evil and greedy.RISE my brothers!!!!!!!!
EA responded to the Worst Company in the World results by saying they would "NOT BEND" & were "PROUD..."
Then they literally say the hate is about Gays, not EA Price Gauging... The Audacity!
they forgot about sim city so soon, it made the news it was that bad.
EA thinks these Madden games are good? That's why so many people always wonder if the developers of Madden even watch football that much. The core issues are still there every, and they also find ways to make it worse (connected careers, a career mode with experience points to boost up every player's flaws? in a game that always claims to be realistic? really?)
Reason's I didn't like EA last year. Mass Effect 3, Dead Space 3, Sim City. That's it. It changes every year since 2005. But I assure you it's actually the opposite. I'm assuming your "Whiny" Madden fans are actually one of the reasons money is still coming in.
Just like a commenter said above but not above my comment XD. Ironically EA published Battlefield: "Bad Company" LOL Genius!! I cant wait for Battlefield: Bad Company 3!!! FTW
... but then I read this.
(Moore contends that EA's decision to allow users to create lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) characters in some of its games has resulted in a voting campaign orchestrated by those opposed to portrayals of LGBT characters in games:
"In the past year, we have received thousands of emails and postcards protesting against EA for allowing players to create LGBT characters in our games. This week, we're seeing posts on conservative web sites urging people to protest our LGBT policy by voting EA the Worst Company in America.")
I'm with Moore on this one.
Considering EA is involved with Battlefield 3 and 4... I agree, they DEFINATELY can do better.

I fell in love at first sight with Tina Fey's "30 Rock," the NBC sitcom that Thursday night will end our seven-season relationship with a double-length series finale. We have both grown in the interim — well, "30 Rock" has — and if it is not now the same series that first won my heart, by winning my head, it is an even better one, bold and confident and more completely itself.
The show that premiered on Oct. 11, 2006, was in many respects a conventional backstage comedy. Fey's show runner Liz Lemon struggled with corporate interference in the form of Alec Baldwin's Jack Donaghy, "the new vice president of East Coast television and microwave programming" — GE owned NBC at the time — and an unruly new star, Tracy Morgan's Tracy Jordan, who introduced himself to her letting her know that, contrary to tabloid reports, "I'm not on crack, I'm straight-up mentally ill."
At the same time, it contained the seeds of all it would become — as a comedy series on NBC about a comedy series on NBC, it was self-referential and meta-fictional from the start, and an unpredictable line like "We're a team now, like Batman and Robin, like chicken and a chicken container" (Tracy to Liz) signaled an original ear, a different sort of approach to a joke.

Loved casco viejo
CASCO viejo is the place to be. The balcony was our fav :)
Amazing decor, lighting and ambience!
Steel, repurposed wood and concrete interior. Great beauty products. Wifi. Luxurious bedding. Healthy delicious breakfast included. Great terraces with waterfront and city views. Optimal location in the Casco Viejo old quarter of Panama City. Amazing rooftop bar, club, music and restaurant (Lazotea). Friendly and professional staff. Miguel the bartender especially great! I would definitely stay there again.
Great location, but rooms not as described.
The location was great-right in the middle of the city's night life. Walking distance to lots of restaurants, bars, and general stores. Rooftop bar had great cocktails and good food. The room we stayed in our second night was beautiful and had a balcony facing the brewpub next door. It was noisy, but this didn't bother us.
We paid a little extra and booked a room with a balcony and "garden view" as my boyfriend is a smoker. This "balcony" was indoor and overlooked a main floor "garden" IN the lobby. When we brought this to the attention of the staff, who were helpful, we were offered an upgraded room for the next night after some persistence on our part. However, friends of ours who had made the same booking and only stayed one night were only offered a bottle of wine and no discount on their stay. The first room we stayed in was very small, and had clearly just finished renovation. Most of the outlets in the room did not work. There were no windows (other than one in the shower that faced the hallway of the hotel). There was an unfinished rock wall that shed orange dust all over the room. And the bathroom "door" was a sheer curtain. The upside of this room - it was quiet. The upgraded room was nice - but only had 1 full towel. We requested more early in the afternoon, and had to make 3 trips to reception until one was sent up that evening (I guess their order was late?) The pool was "closed for renovation" both nights we stayed. But this pool wasn't really desirable anyway, right in the middle of the rooftop bar.
Nice place, little loud at night if you're tired
Very comfortable and clean, nice staff, great location, also pretty cool.
If you're tired and want to sleep early at night bring ear plugs. The bass from the bar/rooftop club upstairs definitely goes until 3am.
Party Zone - not a hotel
Great location and they try to be hip and modern but it comes off as stark. Nice bed. Front desk girl was nice but she could only do so much. Good tv and cable. Did offer some wine for being placed in wrong room but no financial compensation for paying extra for unavailable room.
Pool was unavailable and looked small. No light in concrete block shower, unclean shower curtain, concrete and concrete dust everywhere, improper curtain coverage on glass wall that sits beside the entrance to the bar (noisy!!). Confused staff (are we hotel guests or bar guests?) led to basically everyone walking around unsure of what to do. Breakfast was unclear. Didn't have proper entrance (like....a door) so anyone can walk in off the street and enter the hotel floors. Was worried about security.
With a stay at Hotel Casa Panamá in Panama City (Casco Viejo), you'll be within a 5-minute walk of Metropolitan Cathedral of Panama and Palacio de las Garzas. Featured amenities include complimentary newspapers in the lobby, dry cleaning/laundry services, and a 24-hour front desk. A roundtrip airport shuttle is provided for a surcharge (available 24 hours).

Castleton forced four Mustang turnovers on the afternoon but gave the ball away five times as they dropped to 1-4 on the season and 0-2 in the ECFC. Mount Ida improved to 1-1 in the conference with the win and 2-3 overall.
The Mustangs picked off four Spartan passes and recovered one fumble as they totaled 428 yards of offense, with 177 coming on the ground and 251 through the air. Castleton forced three fumbles and picked off a pass inside the red zone on defense while finishing with 323 yards of total offense, including 250 passing yards.
Melquan Pinkney paced the Mount Ida offense with 129 yards rushing on 17 carries and a pair of touchdowns. Jawad Yatim was solid behind center, going 15-for-27 for 251 yards and three touchdowns. His primary target on the day was Chandler McCoy, who caught five passes for 67 yards and a score.
Junior Kevin Alberque was all over the field for the Spartans, catching seven passes for 114 yards to go with 120 return yards for 234 total yards on the afternoon. Tyler Higley finished the day 16-for-34 for 234 yards and a touchdown, but did throw four interceptions. He did lead the ground attack with 33 yards as the team totaled 73 rushing yards.
The Spartans kicked off and caught a break on Mount Ida's opening drive as the team's snap on a fourth-down punt went over the punter's head and Castleton picked up the ball on the Mustang 23-yard line. However, two plays later Higley threw a pick to end Castleton's hope of scoring less than three minutes into the contest.
Neither team was able to score until Mount Ida received the ball on its own 43-yard line with 4:56 left in the first. The Mustangs drove seven plays in 57 yards, capped off with a five-yard run by Pinkney to take a 7-0 advantage with 1:22 left in the first.
Castleton responded on its next drive as it moved from its own 28-yard line to the Mount Ida 46 in just four plays. Higley then found Alberque for a 29-yard catch and run down to the Mustang 16. Three Elias LaCount rushes later, the senior reached paydirt to make it 7-6. The extra point to tie was blocked and returned by Frank Greene for a defensive PAT, giving Mount Ida a 9-6 lead.
The Mustangs took the kickoff and drove into Castleton territory but Leo Audy stuffed McCoy on a fourth down rushing attempt to give the Spartans back on the ball on the team's 34-yard line.
Castleton drove into Mount Ida territory and all the way down to the 13-yard line before Higley's third-down pass fell incomplete. However, Robert Lineberger's field goal from 30 yards was good to tie the game 9-9 with 5:10 left.
Mount Ida added one score before the half as Yatim found Matt Greenman for a 34-yard touchdown with just seven seconds left to make it 15-9. Greenman's extra point attempt failed and the Mustangs went into the half with a 15-9 lead.
Castleton received the second-half kickoff and Alberque brought it back out to the 28-yard line. Following a seven-yard rush by LaCount, Higley found Tyler Combs for a 28-yard reception to get inside Ida territory at the 37. On the next play Higley hit Makai Hawkins on a quick screen and he made a few moves, winding around defenders across the field on his way to his first career touchdown. Lineberger made the extra point to give the Spartans a 16-15 lead.
Neither team did much of anything on its next drive, but Yatim eventually came through, hitting McCoy for a 33-yard touchdown to make it 21-16 Mount Ida. The team's two-point conversion failed with 9:05 left in the third.
Castleton came back within three later in the quarter. The Spartans' drive stalled on the eight-yard line but Lineberger was good from 26 yards to cut the deficit to two, 21-19 with 4:34 remaining in the quarter.
The fourth quarter was all Mount Ida as they picked off two Higley passes and totaled 128 yards of offense while outscoring the Spartans 16-0. Yatim tossed his third touchdown pass with 12:02 and then with 6:34 remaining the Mustang defense sacked Higley in the endzone for a safety. Pinkney ended scoring with a rushing touchdown at 4:53 to provide 37-19 final.
Jay Morgan led the defense with ten tackles and one sack, while Mick Wong added nine tackles and one interception. Nick Romeo finished with eight tackles and two for a loss along with a pair of fumble recoveries.
Jon Proto led the defense with nine tackles, including 1.5 sacks for a loss of eight yards and 2.5 tackles for a loss. D'Andre Smith added six tackles as well.
Castleton returns to action next Saturday when the Spartans host Gallaudet at noon during Homecoming weekend.

BT - Part 4: Yet ANOTHER Broadband Rant!
19th August: Next day (Thursday) I was out most of the day at a Wardrobe Fitting (for a film part - I shall write about this in due course). When I returned home about 4pm my broadband was dead.
I tried all the diagnostics suggested by BT on-screen, none of which worked, and ended up on the notice that read "Phone BT engineer on these numbers:
0800 800151
0800 1114567
0800 1690199 "
…and so I did…and waited…and waited…only to reach the recorded message "things are rather busy at the moment, please try later".
Two hours later, after repeated attempts, I finally got through to speak to someone…at a BT Call Centre…in India (as usual!)….here we go again.
After thirty minutes of fruitless chat and suggestions, I realised I was getting nowhere and asked to speak to the chap's Supervisor. And I got through to him. Surprisingly, he actually gave me his Full name [they rarely do at BT]: one Mr. Rocky Chaman.
Rocky babbled on incomprehensibly for a while, until I said - as I have had cause to when dealing with BT's Indian Call Centres - "Could. You. Please. Speak. Slowly. And. Clearly. So. That. I. May. Understand. You?".
And so he did - or, at least, he tried.
It ended up with me giving him a five-minute lesson in English pronunciation:-
Him: blah blah…prowider…..
Me: I beg your pardon?
Him: prowider….
Me: Eh?
Him: prowider….
Me: Do you mean Provider, with a Vee?
Him: Yes.Prowider.
Me: No, repeat after me: pro-vider
Him: Prowider
Me: No, again: provider
Him: prowider
Me: again...
…and so we went on until it became clear that young Rocky Chaman was not going to speak clearly or properly.
Ah, yes, dear dear Rocky (remember, he is a Superwiser!) he did try to suggest a number of solutions to my broadband problems, while still firmly refusing my repeated requests for a visit from a BT engineer. And then he said…
"what I want you to do is go to the junction box on the wall and, with a screwdriver, unscrew the protective covering off…"
"NO!", I yelled, "No, no!. What you are telling me is Illegal - in the UK anyway - and if a BT engineer saw that, they would say 'someone's been tampering with that connection, I'm not touching that'".
So now, we have BT employees telling their customers to perform an illegal act.
I explained the situation to Mr. Das and he sounded a little slow on the uptake until I mentioned two things:
(a) I pointed him in the direction of this blog, and to my previous rants about BT, particularly:
and (b) I mentioned to him "funnily enough, this week, I received a bill from BT for over £100. I was going to pay that off, in cash, tomorrow at my bank. You are not seeing a penny of that until this entire matter is cleared up and resolved". [I also mentioned the word "compensation" and he did not shy away from it].
That seemed to gee-up Mr. Das a little. Finally, he said he would mark-up this case as "High Priority" and book me a visit from a BT engineer (from their Diagnostics Team, whatever that means). We both agreed that this visit take place tomorrow (Friday) between the times of 1.pm. and 6.pm - he even sent me a text confirming this information [just remember that]. This took, in all, one hour and twenty minutes to resolve. And so on to…
My heart sank, but I decided not to argue. I explained the problem and he ran various tests on my BT hub, which was still blank on the Broadband light. I also explained to him about the "now go to the junction box with a screwdriver…" nonsense and he threw his hands in the air and agreed with my assertion that a BT engineer would Never touch a junction box that had been tampered with.
It took him almost two hours of comings and goings and visits to the local "Green Box" (the junction box) at the end of the street. He'd worked out that the fault did not lay between my computer and the Green Box, but between the Green Box and the local Exchange.
By 11.55.am. He said to me "I may have to time this job out and return it to the depot". What he meant was: each engineer is given a two-hour space in which to sort out a problem. If it can't be fixed after two hours, the job goes back to the depot and put in a pool for another engineer to pick it up at another date.
So much for blinding efficiency, BT! (no wonder this country is f***ed). What management consultant thought that one up!?
At twelve noon he left, the broadband seemed to be working somehow (whatever he did I don't know)….
…and then 45 minutes later, the Broadband stopped again. I pressed the Restart button on the BT Hub (my third in as many years!) and it seemed to work again. So, later that night, as arranged, Samir Das of BT Priority Care (he called it) [number 0800 3289393] phoned me back…at 7.50.pm, even though he'd promised to call me between 6pm and 7pm.
I told him that my broadband seemed to be working, albeit unreliably. He agree to phone me back tomorrow (Saturday).
Sunday 22nd August: Again, the agreed time (between 1-2pm) was irrelevant: Mr. Das of BT Priority Care phoned me at…11.15.am - I was in bed and barely awake (well it was a hard day's filming yesterday). I told him to phone me later, which he did…at 2.30pm.
I explained to him that things Seemed to be working OK and he agreed to keep monitoring this on a daily basis for at least another 48 hours; he also mentioned the concept of "compensation", which I seemed to be bringing him around to.
Ironically, barely three minutes after the end of our chat, at 2.36.pm., my broadband stopped again. So I went to the hub and pressed the Restart button and things appeared to work again……..
At 4pm, having come back from a coffee, I went online again…until 4.40.pm. When (you've guessed it) the broadband stopped again. And Again I pressed the Restart button on the BT hub, to get the thing working again.
Oh, Mr. Samir Das of BT Priority Care, I hope you are reading this. We have MUCH to discuss tomorrow (and that's even before we reach the moment of "compensation")

Ray I am with Plus Net, unfortunately they use BT open reach to sort out broadband problems locally, all told it has taken 1 month to get back online and largely down to BT being utterly useless at diagnosing the problem!

Record-high farm commodity prices, like oil prices, have begun to fall in recent weeks, but prices of several commodities remain at double or more than double their levels of two years ago. To show the bigger picture surrounding food prices, a symposium will be hosted by the University of California Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics and the UC Agricultural Issues Center on Oct. 10.
The symposium, "Causes and Consequences of the Food Price Crisis," will be held Friday, Oct. 10, from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Bancroft Hotel at 268 Bancroft Way in Berkeley.
Agricultural economists will summarize results of research on the current food price crisis currently under way at the Agricultural and Resource Economics departments at UC Berkeley and UC Davis.
"The likely causes of the increase in food prices include the jump in oil prices, the increase in biofuels demand supported by government policies, government attempts to manipulate imports and exports, increased demand caused by rising income in developing countries, slower growth in agricultural productivity, and the weak U.S. dollar," said Larry Karp, chair of the UC Berkeley Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics.
"Statistical analysis of historical data, simulations showing how policies affect market equilibrium, and models of food demand behavior when stocks are low, all help us understand the current situation and outlook for the future."
The researchers also examined the relationship between the slowing pace of agricultural research and development and the recent imbalance between productivity and demand growth.
In addition to causes of high commodity prices, symposium presenters will discuss the consequences. Higher prices benefit farmers and land owners and harm consumers.
California and U.S. farm incomes and land prices reached new records in 2007, and are even higher in 2008. In poor countries, the sudden and extreme jump in prices has caused severe hardship and hunger for the most vulnerable populations, who devote much of their income to food.
Since many small farmers are net food buyers, many farm households have suffered from high prices. The long-lasting adverse consequences include physical and mental stunting from malnutrition and reduced schooling for children.
For more information about the symposium and to register, please visit http://are.berkeley.edu/foodcrisis/. Registration is free.

DETROIT (AP) — An eastern Michigan woman who raised money by telling people she had cancer has been charged with fraud, just days after being charged with making a false report of rape.
Sara Ylen (WY'-len) was charged Monday with health care fraud and crimes based on false pretenses. Sanilac County chief assistant prosecutor Brenda Sanford says Michigan State Police couldn't corroborate Ylen's claim that she had cancer.
It's unknown whether the 38-year-old Lexington woman has an attorney.
Ylen's credibility has been under scrutiny. She was charged last week in St. Clair County with making a false report of rape in September.
In a different case, a man convicted of raping Ylen was released from prison after nearly 10 years after authorities learned she had made up rape allegations in California.

My website, www.robotx.8m.com detailing my George mobile robot project and containing other interesting info is now under "update reconstruction".
I plan on re-designing the site to make it more intuitive and easier to find information... and then cram it full of that information. I've noticed that there is a lot of interesting robotics information to be found on the Internet, but the problem IS finding it. Through my site, I hope to consolodate some of the cool robotics things I've found over the years and make them available to others. Now if only some people would discover my site!!!
As for my George mobile robotics project itself, me and my partner plan on completing the new drive train this summer (details will be posted to the new site), and also finally integrate all of our evil plans for world domination... er... gadgets... onto our platform. Armed with the money from a new summer job, we can hopefully get this thing exploring my house before too long!

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (Sept. 25, 2009) - Facing one of its toughest fields this fall, the ETSU women's tennis team opened play at the 2009 Cissie Leary Invitational with multiple wins at the Lott Tennis Courts on the campus of Penn University, Friday.
Senior Yevgeniya Stupak (Kyiv, Ukraine) -- the tournament's top seed - picked up one win in opening day action. The No. 119-ranked ITA singles player dropped Jenna Ritz of Yale, 6-0, 6-3.
Fellow upperclassmen teammate, junior, Kelly Holtzhausen (Johannesburg, South Africa) earned her first win of the fall, after the Tennessee Tech transfer made quick work of Penn's Charlotte Ezratti, 6-4, 7-5.
In doubles action ETSU picked up its lone doubles win as Stupak and Holtzhausen dominated their pairs match against Yale's Kent and Rhee, 8-2. The ETSU duo will now face host Penn's No. 1 doubles team of Anderson and Wolf Saturday afternoon.
"Overall, I'm please with both Kelly and Yevgeniya today," said head coach Steve Brooks. "I believe with Kelly getting her first win today, that it's only going to help boast her confidence as we move forward. Also I like what I saw in doubles today. One thing that is going to be vital to our team's success this spring is our doubles play. If we can have great effort and pull out the early point in doubles, then I expect big things for this team this upcoming season."
Attached above is both the singles and doubles bracket for the 2009 Cissie Leary Invitational.

CD-Lion King Orginal Cast Recording SPECIAL 2-DISC EDITION

Item Number: 1014120
About this Item
The Lion King (Original Broadway Cast)Special 2-Disc Edition.
An Oscar win might suggest a score that would need a miracle to be bettered — but this colorful stage adaptation of Disney's The Lion King does so with flair. Includes the Original broadway cast recording and new BONUS behind the scenes DVD.
Composers Mark Mancina and Lebo M worked closely together to fuse the movie's many disparate elements. Where there was a veritable army exercising creative influences for the animated tale, this brings it all under the wings of a like-minded few. This is genuinely apparent as one track flows smoothly into the next. The African rhythms--both vocal and in instrumentation--come across as authentic and original all at once. No doubt this is largely through Mancina's passion for peculiar instruments and the possibilities suggested from nightly live performances.
"Grasslands Chant" is a good place to hear this. The hit favorites are here of course, but both "Circle of Life" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" are pleasingly unrecognizable with chorus and shifting beats. Better still is the likelihood they will now be eclipsed by some of the new numbers. Mancina's own "He Lives in You" being a strong contender. With a sound mix as crisp as you'd hope to find, this is rousing stuff.
Yes this is the original Broadway cast recording. It is priced like a CD and includes 20 tracks of songs from the play,
But wait there's more!
Included with this special 2-disc edition is a bonus DVD that takes you behind the scenes of the London production for an exclusive look at how the story was adapted for the stage. The DVD running time is 30 minutes.

Journals and Posts
Conboy Longford to Philadelphia
Researching my grandfather's family. He was Thomas Patrick Conboy, born 1891. His parents were Michael Conboy and Ellen Shanley. Michael and Ellen were married in Boornacoola in February 1879. The family lived in Clooneen Shanly, Co. Longford in the 1901 and 1911 Census. Siblings were Michael, John, Katherine, and Christopher. I have seen a reference to another sister, Susie, born (or baptized) in November 1879, but can find no other information on Susan. She was not in the census' records with the family in 1901. I am hoping to find out more about Susie. Thank you for any help or information.
