The worst internet service on earth
I use to think dial-up was bad. Hughes Net is just as bad and costs more. Call them up and they have you do self checks on the equipment. Nothing is ever wrong. They like to blame your computer. I had cable service before. Never had any problems.
If it rains,snows,high winds etc. forget doing anything on the internet. Your better off with dial-up. Anyone else have hughes net service?

COX Cable here at home and at work. Had QUEST at work until a week ago,, constant problems especially if it rained.
If you can't fix it with JB Weld, Duct Tape, and Ty Wire it has to be replaced.
No good deed goes unpunished.
If you want to take off friday to go fishing then make sure you train your helper right.

I've done some DSL support in the past and 95% of service issues are equipment or inside wiring related. If the telco sends the technician and it turns out to be an issue with your equipment, you're left with a $100 bill and no repair as there's nothing a telco tech can fix but he still has to eat. When I explained that to our subs, they were more than happy to spend a few minutes on the phone with me Here are some tips to keep your service reliable:
1) DO NOT push the reset button on the back of your modem or router - probably #1 cause of "my internet service isn't working" calls - pushing the reset button performs a factory reset on your modem so you lose all the settings you put into it, including the username and password
2) If you lose your connectivity, unplug your modem and router (if you have a separate one) from power and wait a minute (30-60s). Plug it back in. If you have 2 devices, plug in the modem first, wait for the DSL light on the modem to stop flashing and become solid and then plug it back in. That takes care of most of the rest of the problems
3) Phone cord from modem to jack should be 7' or less, quality brand like GE (no dollar store crap), direct to wall
4) If you also have plain old telephone service, make sure all of your phones/fax machines have a filter and double-filter your cordless bases.
5) Make sure your inside wiring is up to snuff. Your phone wiring, just like your gas piping are your responsibility
6) Poor wireless performance isn't your ISP's fault. Chances are you have lots of RF (radio frequency) interference in the area. If you are experiencing slow speeds, turn off all computers and smartphones, just plug one CLEAN computer (preferably running mac os X or Linux or a fresh windows install that didn't have the time to pick up viruses/malware) into the router and go to a speed test site
If I had someone who knew what he was doing (loved working with sparkys, alarm techs and mechanics [both refer and auto]), I could go through all the testing in about 15min, 30min with your typical HO. The longest tickets are the ones where the sub hit the reset button and I'd have to guide the HO through reconfiguring his equipment
I switched from DirecTV to Dish network and the dish is larger.
They mounted it on the gable end of my roof and anytime there is adverse weather I loose signal.
Had a tech come out and the first thing he said was " who did that mess". He said for the smaller dish it was probably okay, but the larger dish needs a very sturdy mounting place.
Not sure if this is your issue or not.
I also think Dish equipment is second hand, used or just plain slow processing speed as it takes forever to switch between channels.If Guns Kill People, Do Pencils Misspell Words?
I've used Hughes net before, my first time using satellite internet...had always heard how fast it was.
The tech came out, spent half a day searching for signal, I had internet for a week before I had them shut it off. It never cut out on me but at the speed it was moving I thought it had.

Team News: SH Karting Victorious at Circuit ICAR
Steven Szigeti was the ECKC feature race winner in Rotax Senior at Circuit ICAR
(Photo: Cody Schindel-CKN)
After an impressive start to the 2012 Eastern Canadian Karting Championship (ECKC) back in May, SH Karting continued their winning ways this past weekend in Quebec. Coming off a win and podium in Rotax Junior by Parker Thompson as well as three podium finishes in Rotax Senior thanks to Steven Szigeti and Jesse Lazare during the season opener at Goodwood Kartways, the SH Karting team took on the demands of Circuit ICAR in Mirabel, Quebec for Round #3 of the ECKC as well as Round #3 of the Coupe du Quebec series this past weekend. The permanent karting facility on the grounds of the now closed Mirabel International Airport posed its challenges for the talented squad, as a concrete surface and high grip levels put drivers and tuners to the test, with SH Karting rising to the challenge. Ten SH Karting and three SH Ontario team drivers took to the track for the double-header event weekend, with Lazare taking the Coupe du Quebec win on Saturday, and Szigeti and Thompson scoring wins in ECKC action on Sunday.
After taking the win on Saturday in Coupe du Quebec action, new team recruit Jesse Lazare started his ECKC Round #3 campaign off with pole position in the ultra-competitive Rotax Senior category. Teammate Steven Szigeti would clock third in the morning qualifying session with his Supertune USA engine, setting up two inside starting positions for the green Tony Kart machines for the first wheel-to-wheel action of the day. The two would maintain their starting positions during the prefinal race, laying the groundwork for the 20-lap feature race. Avoiding the carnage through the first corner after the green flag, the SH Karting duo was able to quickly pull a gap on the field with Lazare leading Szigeti. By the halfway point, Szigeti was able to make his move for the lead, passing Lazare through the turn one braking zone. Holding point from there, Szigeti went on to take a one second victory with Lazare making it a one-two finish for SH Karting.
Marc-André Lévesque would add a solid fifth place result to the SH Karting tally, while Maxime Couturier's eighth place qualifying result did not yield the final finish he had hoped for. SH Ontario's Arika White also took on the demands of the Rotax Senior class. After a solid 11th place in qualifying, White would go on to post an unfortunate DNF in the prefinal, but then bounced back to finish 17th in the final.
Parker Thompson took his second Rotax Junior ECKC win after a brilliant last lap pass

Red Deer, Alberta's Parker Thompson was also victorious in his Circuit ICAR effortt. Getting accustomed to the track Saturday, Thompson would earn a third place podium finish in the Coupe du Quebec action before turning the wick up Sunday for the ECKC. Missing out on pole by just 0.036, as SH Karting teammate Tommy Lemaire-Ouellet posted pole time, Thompson's effort would put him third on the grid for the prefinal race. Taking the win in the 12-lap heat, Thompson would look to come out on top for the day's final. Falling back to second on the first lap of the final, Thompson made his bid for the lead working lap three. As Thompson and his nearest competitor battled it out for the top spot with the laps winding down, the west coast kid went for a brilliant first corner, last lap pass to take his second victory in the ECKC series. Lemaire-Ouellet would recover from a DNF in the prefinal to finish an impressive seventh in the final, while Alexandre Lacroix and Alexandre Couturier would finish 14th and 15th respectively. SH Ontario's Cameron Morrison would come home with a 12th place run in the ECKC final, while Taegan Poles suffered an unfortunate DNF after her strong showing at Goodwood.
In Mini Max, SH Karting pilot Charles Robin would just miss the podium in Coupe du Quebec action with his fourth place finish in Saturday's feature race. Back on track Sunday, Robin would post eighth in the ECKC qualifying session for Round #3. Improving to fifth in the prefinal, Robin ended his efforts with a seventh place result in the final. Running just the Saturday Coupe du Quebec event, Charles Deschênes would finish in ninth.
SH Karting will next take on Rounds #4 & 5 of the Eastern Canadian Karting Championship June 29-July 1 at the Mosport International Karting facility in Bowmanville, Ontario. Coupe du Quebec action will resume July 15 for Round #4 at Circuit Mont-Tremblant.

A proposed Department of Defense regulation on the use of export-controlled technology is premature and should not be pursued until the Department of Commerce finishes work on a rule covering similar ground, AAAS told the Pentagon this week.
Alan I. Leshner, the chief executive officer of AAAS, said in a letter to the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council that the association is concerned that the proposed rule "will further restrict the conduct of fundamental research and impede national security interests rather than protect them."
Leshner noted that the Department of Commerce is finalizing a rule to define the use of export-controlled technology by universities, laboratories and industry.
The Defense Department's rule is aimed at preventing unauthorized disclosure of dual-use information and technology to foreign nationals. It mandates segregated work areas and unique badging requirements for foreign nationals who may have access to export-controlled information and technology.
"Requiring segregated work environments appears overly burdensome and unnecessary, and could discourage bright foreign scholars and students from attending U.S. universities," Leshner wrote.
Beyond the additional costs of creating a segregated work environment, he said, the badging requirement "would appear to single out and perhaps stigmatize foreign students," even those from allied nations.
The letter said there are ample safeguards already in place, including visa screening for foreign nationals, classification procedures, export control laws and contracting language.

CD/LP/Track Review
Globe Unity Orchestra & the Choir of the NDR-Broadcast: Hamburg '74 (2004)
Alexander von Schlippenbach wrote the first tune on this record as a radio project for the NDR Jazz Workshop in 1974. From his imagination sprung a conjunction of classical music and of jazz (as he and the Globe Unity Orchestra fermented it). It would have been so easy to let the two entwine and create a hybrid, but given the impetus and the direction the orchestra takes, that would be all too facile an approach. While they bring into play the tumble and roll, they also conjur dissonance and the wit on the spur, neatly weaving it with the voices of the choir. This results in one happy outing blessed with the heart and structure that gives classical music its throb, and the freedom that jazz invests in imaginations that are constantly seeking the unusual.
The thread unravels through the squeaks and squabble of the reeds, sent into semblance by a martial air, and the choir rejoicing in the harmony of their voices before the female chorus and the male tenor add resplendence and colour to the music. The orchestra soon opens its seams and bursts into a vibrant dissonance driven by the horns and the drums with the percussion (and quite probably the voice) of Han Bennink adding a distinct angle. But if surprise gets its tip of the hat, it comes when the choir limbers into free voice, lassoed in as the welter rises to feverish heat. And what would the collective be without humour? The choir breezes in for the levity joined by the vocally zealous members of the orchestra.
"Kontraste und Synthesen" is a Manfred Schoof composition from the '60s. Schoof uses voice to float like clouds over the brass, the trombones blowing straight lines, the other horns billowing in whirls. It is a rather rowdy offering, like a market square on a busy morning. But before the close, there is a clarion call on the trumpet that heralds the other players for a free-for-all, and then a cool wind slips in and smoothes the ruffles.
Track Listing: Hamburg '74; Kontraste und Synthesen
Personnel: Manfred Schoof, Kenny Wheeler--trumpets; Peter Br
Record Label: Atavistic Worldwide
Style: Modern Jazz

My family has always been huge Razorback fans. My older brother, Rodney, had Briar and Brad calling the hogs before they could even walk.
On the flip side, Rodney is not an Arkansas State fan. You would think since they are closer to us he would at least root for them sometimes. Not the case. He is extremely anti-Indians (or whatever they turn out to be).
Saturday afternoon my family was gathered at my mom's house for a birthday party for Rod's daughter, Grace. Blake, my younger brother, walked in wearing a gray A-State hoodie.
Rod instantly told him to get out of the house with that shirt on. He wasn't welcome. Blake just smiled and said, "If you only knew." We all got a good laugh when Georgetta, Blake's wife, let Rod in on the secret.
She had bought the hoodie the day before at one of the many "Black Friday" sales. It was to be Rod's Christmas present… until Blake saved him from that fate and claimed it for himself.

My cousin, Lora, has been battling cancer for several years. Every time we think she has it beat, something else happens. At a recent checkup at UAMS, she learned that the cancer has returned to her lungs and liver.
After having a reaction to treatments, they were stopped. Lora has been referred to MD Anderson Medical Center in Texas for an experimental treatment. We've been told this is her "last hope."
Through all of the different diagnosis, chemotherapy and surgeries, Lora's faith has remained strong. She has an amazing attitude, and I admire her for it.
My mom has organized a fund-raiser, to be held Nov. 17 beginning at 6:30 p.m at the Hoxie Service Center. The proceeds will help Lora with medical and traveling expenses. The Shaw's will be performing as well as the Faith Worship Center Praise Team and the New Beginning Followers of Christ Dance Team.
It's sure to be an entertaining night!

I had an extremely entertaining ride while taking my nieces, Jarah, 7, and Kylie, 3, to Jonesboro for Jarah's gymnastics class on Wednesday.
My son, Brad, is a huge Hannah Montana fan and has two of her CDs. They occupy slots number three and four in my CD changer. I was actually hoping that the girls would not remember that fact when we began our drive.
It didn't take long, however, for Kylie to ask for Hannah Montana. She was singing at the top of her lungs, "Everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days." She wanted me to play it over and over… I just couldn't do it though.
I had to contain my laughter when Kylie said, "Aunt Angie, I got my flea shot yesterday!"
Jarah laughed and told her it wasn't a "flea" shot, it was a flu shot. She told Kylie to say blue… then had her say flu. She said it perfectly.
After Jarah got out of the car, and I was getting Kylie unbuckled, she told me, "Jarah don't know what she's talkin' about, Aunt Angie, I know I got a flea shot."
I just smiled and let it go.

My mother-in-law had her annual Halloween party Saturday night. She lives on the other side of Maynard, out in the middle of nowhere. It is a really good place for a Halloween party… lots of scary possibilities.
We had a big meal, then started a bonfire and roasted marshmallows. The crew my sister-in-law works with landed their helicopter in the field across the street and ate with us. Before leaving, they took some of the adults up in the helicopter.
Later in the night we had a hayride. My mother-in-law and several other adults dressed up in scary outfits and went to spook those on the hayride. The trailer they caught up with, though, wasn't ours… they scared the wrong group.
To end the night, Briar, Brad and several others bobbed for apples. This is my least favorite thing… everyone slobbering in a pail of water, trying to bite the same apples. GROSS!

It's awesome that our two local high school football teams, the Hoxie Mustangs and Walnut Ridge Bobcats, will be going to state this year. Congratulations to both teams!
My family attended the Iron Mountain Festival this weekend in Walnut Ridge. I enjoyed myself and could have watched the provided entertainment all day long. However, Briar, Brad and Tim had other ideas of entertainment.
They enjoyed the shooting range, karate demonstration, aquarium and car show, but were ready to go after about 45 minutes. One trip through was enough for them.
Oldsalt, a LawCo Talk board member and moderator, brought me a three-button mouse for my computer today. A few weeks ago he made a trip to our office and was astonished by the fact that my mouse had only one button. I use a Macintosh and they have only one button "mice."
I am enjoying the extra two buttons immensely. While my Mac mouse would do all the things as a three-button mouse, the three buttons are just easier. However, you won't find me abandoning my Mac anytime soon. They are the far superior computer… at least in my opinion.

I won't deny that I have forgotten many things in my life … names, addresses, phone numbers, birthdays … I've even forgotten where I was going on occasion. I have never, though, forgotten to breathe.
How do you forget to breathe, anyway? To me, the idea of forgetting to breathe is, well, crazy…
I don't watch "Dancing With the Stars," but I'm sure most people have heard about Marie Osmond "fainting" on the show Monday night because she "forgot to breathe."
While they were talking about it on the news this morning, Briar walked through the room and heard them. He was unsure of what they had said, at first. He stopped and looked at me and asked if he had heard the TV correctly.
After telling him what had happened, his response was the same as mine… "How in the world could someone forget to breathe? That's crazy!"

Today is definitely Monday!
The day started off normal enough, my niece, Jarah, arrived at my house at 5 a.m. this morning. She normally goes back to sleep, but she didn't this morning. She didn't feel very well, so I tried to comfort her the best I could. She called her mom four times before I took her to school.
I had to leave work to take Brad to the doctor for a follow up appointment. Not long after returning, I got a call from the school nurse. Briar was in her office because he had hurt his hand.
I went to get him and took him to the emergency room … it's broken.
I'm now having trouble focusing on what I'm doing here at work… I can't help wondering what's going to happen next.

On Saturday, my family went to my husband's company (LA Darling) picnic. The company has had the picnic for the past three years, and it is something we all look forward to.
As soon as we arrived this year, Tim and Brad headed straight for the NASCAR simulator. It is always their favorite thing to do. Briar and Brad raced several times in the Iron Man obstacle course. They had a mechanical bull, which Briar and Brad loved last year, but didn't get on this year.
While eating lunch, we played Bingo, but didn't win anything. Briar really enjoyed the Bingo games, so we spent a lot of the afternoon playing. Brad made friends with a boy close to his age. They kept busy playing on the giant slide and obstacle course.
The company always does a random drawing for prizes. In the three years we've been going, we haven't won any of those prizes. This year was no different. The grand prizes were a flat screen plasma TV and a stainless steel, gas barbecue grill.
Even though we didn't win anything, we got to spend time together and enjoyed the day.

I was lucky to be raised in a stable home with both parents. My parents are now a big part of my children's lives. Briar and Brad go to their house after school on most days and usually spend two nights a week with them.
I believe the time a person spends with their grandparents is the most special time in the world.
I was blessed to have both sets of my grandparents until my PaPa Tate passed away on the morning of my 23rd birthday. Ten months later I lost my Grandpa Jones and five months after that, my Grandma Jones. My Granny Tate was with us five more years, until July of 2001.
I loved to fish with Grandpa and Grandma Jones, and I will never forget all the afternoons I spent playing slapjack under the shade tree with my PaPa Tate.
Granny Tate was the strongest woman I've ever known. She loved life and loved to laugh and have fun. My brothers and I always tried to get her "tickled," which wasn't very hard to do.
I think of them often and try to pass their legacy along to Briar and Brad through stories, pictures and home videos. I also hope that I am nurturing the same type of relationship between the boys and my parents. After all, nothing can quite explain or compare to the relationship between a grandparent and grandchild.

Briar and Brad are supposed to read every night for at least 30 minutes. Briar usually reads something by R.L. Stein and Brad likes biographies, but right now is reading a fiction book entitled, "The Desperaux." They hate reading, and I don't understand why. I love it … I always have.
While growing up, I read the Sweet Valley High series. The books are about twin high school girls and their life experiences.
Two of my all-time favorite books are "Where the Red Fern Grows," I still cry every time I read it, and "The Outsiders."
I also read a lot of Judy Blume books. "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret," "Fudge," "Double Fudge," "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" and "Blubber" — just to name a few.
These days my favorite authors include Laurel K. Hamilton, Dean Koontz, John Grisham and Sandra Brown. I have to admit that I love reading Harry Potter, too. I would actually read just about anything you put in front of me.
So… with my passion for reading, why can't I get my boys to read?

The Left loves to decry that that "the rich get richer and poor get poorer". Their solution is always to tax the rich. Does taxing the rich lead to better income distribution? No, in fact, quite the opposite.
Let's put this to the test using the latest data from the Census Bureau just released to the public.
One set of data I'm particularly fond of are the aggregate income tables found here.
These data show the % of the income held by each quintile income bracket. In other words, if you sliced up taxpaying American households into 5 parts – what is the percentage of the total aggregate wealth in each bracket?
Using out trusty Many Eyes tool provided free by IBM we can give you an interactive graph of the same.
Let's look at the data from 1967 – 2010:
Notice that distribution of income for the wealthiest jumps remarkably in 1993 after Clinton enacted what became known (even in Democrat circles) as the "largest tax increase in history." The top 5th income bracket (those making over $100K a year) saw a huge bump in their percent take of all the money. In fact, if you narrow it to the top 5% of earners (those making $180,000 a year) their percentage jumped 13%!
Zooming in you can see this in action. Click on the last item on the left "Lowest fifth".
The lowest fifth income earners (those making under $20,000 a year) saw their percentage command on the economy drop.
Notice that Obama has presided over the largest percentage drop in aggregate income for the poor – since they began keeping records.
So, we know what will happen if we raise taxes again. Fewer receipts and poorer poor among us.

The Path 2 by Edward Thomas
Running along a bank, a parapet That saves from the precipitous wood below The level road, there is a path. It serves Children for looking down the long smooth steep, Between the legs of beech and yew, to where A fallen tree checks the sight: while men and women Content themselves with the road and what they see Over the bank, and what the children tell. The path, winding like silver, trickles on, Bordered and even invaded by thinnest moss That tries to cover roots and crumbling chalk With gold, olive, and emerald, but in vain. The children wear it. They have flattened the bank On top, and silvered it between the moss With the current of their feet, year after year. But the road is houseless, and leads not to school. To see a child is rare there, and the eye Has but the road, the wood that overhangs And underyawns it, and the path that looks As if it led on to some legendary Or fancied place where men have wished to go And stay; till, sudden, it ends where the wood ends. <-- Previous | Next -->

Catawba College is a private, coeducational liberal arts college in Salisbury, North Carolina, USA. Founded in 1851 by the North Carolina Classis of the Reformed Church in Newton, the college adopted its name from its county of origin, Catawba County, before moving to its current home of Salisbury in 1925.
Today, Catawba College still holds loose ties with the successor to the Reformed Church, the United Church of Christ, and offers more than thirty undergraduate degrees.
In 2009, Catawba College was listed as 17th in the U.S. News and World Report in the category "Best Baccalaureate Colleges in the South."[2] Catawba College has been consistently named as one of the "361 Best Colleges" by the Princeton Review, and the school's theatre program is consistently rated as one of the top 10 in the nation,[3] and in 2011 alone, winning 8 awards from the Metrolina Theatre Association for their production of Bright Lights, Big City.[4] In 2008 and 2009, In Tune Monthly named Catawba College one of the best music schools in the country.[5]
Contents |
History [edit]
Catawba College was founded by the North Carolina Classis of the Reformed Church in the United States in 1851. The years following the opening of the college were years of growing prosperity for the school, but the Civil War changed this as funds and students became less available. During the war years, the College became an academy, operating as Catawba High School from 1865 until 1885, whereupon it resumed operations under its original charter as Catawba College. After the Civil War ended, Catawba continued to make changes to itself, including becoming coeducational in 1890. Even with the addition of women to the student body, the College struggled to overcome the depletion brought on by the war. Responding to the offer of a partially constructed dormitory-administration building and several acres of land in Salisbury, trustee, college, and church officials closed the campus in Newton in 1923 and re-opened in Salisbury in 1925.
The college is now affiliated with the United Church of Christ, the successor to the Evangelical and Reformed Church, itself the successor to the Reformed Church in the United States.[6]
Academics [edit]
Through its residential day program, Catawba College offers the B.A., B.S., and B.F.A. degrees in over 30 undergraduate majors, with 22 concentrations available, in a variety of disciplines, including athletic training, biology, business administration, chemistry, communication, education, English, environmental science, French, history, mathematics, medical technology, music, musical theatre, physical education, political science and pre-law, pre-med, pre-ministerial, pre-pharmacy, psychology, recreation, religion, philosophy, sociology, Spanish, sports management, sustainable business and community development, and theatre arts.
A variety of minors are also available. Students may also be invited to participate in the College's Honors Program. Other programs include the Lilly Center for Vocation and Values, Leadership Catawba, the Center for the Environment, the Center for Career and Service Learning, and Summer School.[7]
For working adults, Catawba's School of Evening and Graduate Studies offers the Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.), with concentrations in Business Management, Information Systems, and Administration of Justice. In conjunction with the Department of Teacher Education, the Bachelor of Arts in Education (B.A.E.) degree may be earned with a major in Birth – Kindergarten Education; at the graduate level, the Master of Education degree in elementary education is also offered.
Shirley Peeler Richie Academy for Teaching [edit]
As part of an ongoing emphasis on teacher education, Catawba announced the creation of the West Scholars Program in 2006. The highly competitive program offers a substantial scholarship, up to $15,000 for North Carolina residents, in addition to "leadership seminars, community, service, scholarly researched presentations" and various other benefits.[8] In addition to the West Scholars, Catawba added the distinction of being one of only 18 institutions in North Carolina to offer a N.C. Teaching Fellows program for the 2009–2010 academic year. Promoting education in North Carolina, the program offers a full tuition award to the participants.[9]
Center for the Environment [edit]
The Center for the Environment was established in 1996 to educate students, faculty, staff and the public about environmental stewardship and sustainability. A catalyst for advancing sustainable solutions, it has assumed a leadership role in the region, serving as a model and lending its expertise on issues ranging from air and water quality to land preservation and sustainable development. Since its inception, it has provided opportunities for students to work with community members in addressing issues of sustainability.[10]
The sustainable building that houses the Center, which opened in 2001, was hailed by the top state environmental official as "the wave of the future in resource and energy efficiency." Everything about the building – from site design to the environmentally friendly building materials and green furnishings, from energy and water conservation issues to recycling and waste management – is grounded in principles of sustainability. It is a three-dimensional incarnation of the Center's curriculum – an excellent teaching tool as well as an environmentally sound project. Adjacent to the Center is the college's 187-acre ecological preserve which, along with its 300-acre wildlife refuge, gives Catawba students ample opportunities for analyzing ecosystems and learning about conservation management.[11]
Athletics [edit]
Catawba's athletic teams compete in the NCAA Division II South Atlantic Conference as the Catawba College Indians; named after the Catawba Indian tribe that was native to the original location of the school.
Catawba features 18 NCAA Division II sports teams. The men's teams are Baseball, Basketball, Cross Country, Football, Golf, Lacrosse, Soccer, Tennis, and Swimming. The women's teams are Basketball, Cross Country, Golf, Lacrosse, Soccer, Softball, Swimming, Tennis, and Volleyball.
The Catawba College football team holds the distinction of winning not only the inaugural, but 2nd annual Tangerine Bowl, now known as the Capital One Bowl, without allowing the opposing teams to score a single point. On Jan. 1, 1947, they defeated Maryville College 31–0 and on Jan. 1, 1948 they defeated Marshall University 7–0.
Indians nickname [edit]
In 2005, the NCAA cited Catawba College as a school with a "hostile" and/or "abusive" nickname. While the NCAA cannot force a school to change a nickname, it promised to deny post-season hosting privileges to schools in violation.[12] In response to the designation, Catawba College officials filled a formal appeal to continue use of the Catawba Indian mascot. Citing the approval of the remaining members of the Catawba Indian tribe, the NCAA granted the appeal on the condition the college use the tribe specific nickname of the Catawba Indians when referring to the nickname as opposed to simply the "Indians."[13]

Probate Bond (Fiduciary Bond)
Learn more at our full video library
- How much does a probate bond cost?
Prices are a percentage of the bond amount. They will vary depending on the personal credit of the applicant along with the conditions surrounding the estate. If you are just looking for an idea of pricing, you can get a range of costs or you can apply online and get an exact price.
- Is a probate surety bond protection for me?
No. As the executor you are provided no insurance from the bond. It protects rightful heirs receiving inheritance by guaranteeing you (the executor) will disburse the estate per the will or the state's probate laws; should you fail to do so a claim can be made to make the heirs whole. The bond does not protect any heir that is also the executor.
- Can I get approved for probate bonding without collateral?
Yes. Collateral is not required for most probate bonds. They are usually approved with just your indemnification and premium.
- I have bad credit. Can I still get a bond?
It is possible. However, it depends on the extent of your credit issues. You may be able to get approved if you only have moderate credit problems. Serious credit issues will make you ineligible for bonding. Legal counsel will help guide you through the process and increase your chances of getting approved. Fill out our application online to see if you qualify.
- Why is a probate bond required of me?
It protects all rightful heirs that you act as executor for by guaranteeing you will abide by the will or the state's probate laws if there is no will. If you do not disburse the estate according to the will or probate laws, a claim can be filed on the bond, which you must repay.
- How do I avoid claims?
Execute the estate in accordance with the will. If there is no will, you must cooperate with your state's probate law. Watch our video to get a better understanding of claims.

Penn's Rules of Conduct
This information is provided by University of Pennsylvania Office of Student Conduct.
If you are a Penn student, your behavior has a direct impact on how the West Philadelphia community views the University, of which you are a representative. As a Penn student, you are expected to abide by the University's Code of Student Conduct regardless of time or place. The standard of conduct required of Penn students reflects high expectations for responsible behavior. Responsible tenant behavior includes respect for the health, safety, and property of others in your residence and your neighborhood.
Potential violations of the Code of Student Conduct include, but are not limited to, the following behaviors:
Complaints of this nature, whether made by a landlord, another student, or a member of the community should be brought to the attention of the Office of Off-Campus Services. If the situation warrants, alleged violations of the Code of Student Conduct will be referred to and investigated by the University's Office of Student Conduct. Depending on the seriousness of the offense, investigations may result in formal charges and disciplinary action against a student or students.
Many disputes, however, do not warrant such action and can often be resolved by mediation. Penn's University Mediation Program provides an avenue for tenants, landlords, and other community members to address and resolve disputes in a constructive, confidential and informal manner.
Trash and Recycling
See information about trash disposal and recycling in University City and Center City by clicking here.
Noise and Parties
Be a good neighbor. Get to know your neighbors. It makes life more fun and safer. Respect their right to peace and quiet and keep your property clean and trash-free. Most of the conflicts between student tenants and their neighbors center around too much noise, too loud and rowdy parties and too much trash. Remember, whether you live on or off-campus, the Drug and Alcohol Policy of the University and the Student Code of Conduct apply to you just the same.
Your neighbors can be your friends. If you need someone to watch your place while you are away, water your plants or lend you a hammer, they will be there for you. They can also direct you to fun places in the neighborhood and great places for a delicious, inexpensive meal. Get involved with the Community Association in your area. Most students live in Spruce Hill. Call 215-349-7825 to find out how you can become a member.
Here is some important information regarding excessive noise, loud partying and trash:
Noise - It's rude, it's disturbing and it's against the law! Loud music, noisy parties, gatherings in excess of the building capacity are also violations of the Philadelphia City Code and of your lease agreement. All residential leases, whether explicitly stated or implied, contain a basic right: the right to "Quiet Enjoyment". While this ensures your right to quietly enjoy full possession and use of the premises, it also imposes on you the responsibility and obligation not to disturb your neighbors, whether the people living in your building or the people living next door or across the street. Some landlords attach to the lease a list of rules and regulations regarding noise, quiet hours, prohibited behavior/activity and clearly indicate that breach of these rules is breach of the lease. If you are in violation of your lease, the landlord will notify you of the violation. If after the notification the violation is repeated, the landlord can start eviction procedures against you.
And now the good news: You live in a neighborhood which has traditionally been home to many students, graduate and undergraduate. Year-round residents are aware of that and many enjoy the life and energy young people bring to a community, however, a lively community does not have to be a noisy community. If you continually spoil your neighbor's sleep and quiet time, your neighbor can spoil your fun. Respect your neighbor and your neighbor will respect you.
The City of Philadelphia Code, title 7, #10-400 regulates the amount of noise and vibration allowed in residential neighborhoods and establishes rules of individual conduct and activity.
"The City of Philadelphia finds that noise and excessive vibration degrade the environment of the City to a degree which
- is harmful and detrimental to the health, welfare and safety of its inhabitants;
- interferes with the comfortable enjoyment of life, property and recreation;
- causes nuisances;
that no one has any right to create noise and excessive vibration, that effective control and elimination of noise and excessive vibration is essential to the furtherance of the health and welfare of the City's inhabitants and to the conduct of the normal pursuits of life, recreation, commerce and industrial activity."
Here is the City Code definition of noise: "the presence of a sound or sounds of such intensity, duration, frequency or character which annoy, disturb or cause or tend to cause adverse psychological and physiological effects on persons,
in excess of standards promulgated by the Board of Health."
And if this is not complicated enough, the text continues, "No person shall operate a radio, tape player or musical device in... residential districts at a sound level which produces sound audible at a distance greater than one hundred feet from the location of such radio, tape player or device... In residential districts, three decibels above background level at the location of such radio, etc... between the hours of 9:00 PM and 8:00 AM."
Remember, the quiet hours of the City are 9:00 PM to 8:00 AM.
Be considerate
Keep the volume of your music down. Others don't have to like the same music you do. Turn the volume down during quiet hours.
If you do have a party and expect the music to get a bit louder than usual, talk to your neighbors. Let them know you are going to have a party. They may put up with the inconvenience as long as parties are the exception, not the rule.
Be responsible and responsive.
If your neighbor complains to you about your loud music, your frequent partying and attending behavior, listen to him/her and try to correct the problem. Don't let the problem escalate.
Neighbors can call the University of Pennsylvania police or the City of Philadelphia police and you may first be warned and then cited for breaking the law. Don't let it come to that!

Power MOSFETs
Products for a variety of applications, such as power supply, motor drive, high frequency amplification, and load switch, are available. We have products for each reliability level required for consumer and automotive electronics. We also offer small and highly efficient DC/DC converter ICs that integrate a MOSFET and its drive circuitry.
Low Voltage MOSFETs (VDSS < 150 V)
High Voltage MOSFETs (VDSS ≥ 150V)
Built-in MOSFET Integrated SiP
Renesas' low saturation voltage IGBTs help reduce the loss of a system. They make large-current applications more eco-friendly. We are continuing to improve usability by slimming down to reduce tail current and incorporating a built-in FRD to increase switching speed.
Intelligent Power Devices
We are continuing to expand our lineup of intelligent power devices (IPDs) in response to demands for greater system reliability with an overheat protection
function that can easily be substituted for a power MOSFET, and a high-voltage, high-reliability IPD for automotive body with excellent load short-circuit reliability ratings.
Renesas diodes support higher performance, smaller, and lighter mobile devices. Renesas continues to take the lead with diodes such as PIN diodes that achieve extremely low capacity through an original trench structure.

text: 8:50 a.m. in 97229 Bethany Area the air was illuminated with millons of brilliant, shiny, falling particles. Visible only at a certain angle it truly looked magical. The shot looks boring at first but pay attention as the "Pixie Dust" shows up and occasionally a Tinker Bell or two really sparkle up close! Very cool phenomenon and only lasted about 10 minutes.

Written by PETA
I'm just as psyched about the holidays as anyone else. Free stuff, snow days (oh, right, we don't get those), e-cards— what's not to love? Well, I'll tell you. In certain cities across America, animals are being exposed to all sorts of danger for the sake of live Nativity scenes. Camels, sheep, and donkeys are casually put out in a pen in harsh weather and left unattended outside churches and in Christmas shows, where they are sometimes stolen, injured by passing dogs, or harassed by the public. They are often transported to and from the exhibits in cold, uncomfortable and scary conditions, and they can even spread salmonella and E. coli.
This is super scary, but there have even been cases of sexual abuse, injury in transport, and other cases of neglect and cruelty to animals used in Nativity scenes, which is why we have a better idea.
Instead of using live animals this Christmas, we suggest a lovely fiberglass display like the ones at Christmas Night Inc. These displays are cruelty-free, and they can be shoved into the back of a shed and reused year after year. Fake displays—with ultra-cute Baby Jesus statues—are much less expensive than "renting" real animals, so the money saved could go to a good cause (like vegetarian food for the hungry, perhaps?).
If you know of a live Nativity scene in or planned for your area, take action now, please! The following are a few things you can do to help:
So this holiday season, consider peace on Earth and good will toward humans and animals.
Written by Lianne Turner
If you have a general question for PETA and would like a response, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. If you need to report cruelty to an animal, please click here. If you are reporting an animal in imminent danger and know where to find the animal and if the abuse is taking place right now, please call your local police department. If the police are unresponsive, please call PETA immediately at 757-622-7382 and press 2.

Mike Woodson Joins Knicks Coaching Staff
After various interviews and meetings between Mike Woodson and Knicks personnel, the former Hawks coach will join New York's coaching staff as a lead assistant to help the team's defensive game.
Although the move is seen by some as a preliminary step in replacing the current Knicks head coach, Mike D'Antoni, with Woodson in the near future, D'Antoni was quick to praise Woodson:
"…he's a good coach. We expect him to add, in a very positive way, defensively, offensively, big guys, small guys. Whatever we need as a Knicks organization for him to do, he'll be able to do it. He's an extremely talented coach."

"I'm not angry anymore, as more and more people rediscover their true selves through Scientology, together we WILL achieve a world without war, crime, and insanity." Rex Fowler, OTVII, before shooting his ex-partner three times in the head and then himself.
No joke. Check out my post from January here - http://www.forum.exscn.net/showthrea...l=1#post650547
Solid dox on $13+ million raised. And they have raised well in excess of a million dollars since January (see posts in this thread). $15 million no problem. Of course you have to trust the CoS PR stats to a certain degree...
Mama Mia, here we go again indeed. And so grossly out-tech. Ah well...

When buildings get important to us, for God's sake, some of you born revolutionists, will you please blow up central headquarters. If someone had put some H.E. [high explosive] under the Vatican long ago, Catholicism might still be going.
Don't get interested in real estate. Don't get interested in the masses of buildings, because that's not important."
COB: Fuck Hubbard, the cocksucker didn't know shit about raking in the cash, the Catholics been at this game way longer. But they're a bunch of panty-waists, I can do it in 1/1000 the time those dumb fucks did.
Sorry about the language, but I didn't really want to say exactly what lil Davey woulda, it woulda just been too crass for ESMB

So... do they still do any auditing or training in the orgs,? Or have those things (Scientology) been replaced by singing and dancing events? I mean it must take the staff quite a bit of practice to get all those moves perfected... I would have thought they would be too busy applying the tech and building up their org to have time.
I guess there is more money in singing and dancing nowadays.

Dear Anonymous,
Hello, my name is Melanie - I've just arrived in Sydney from Bridge Publications in Los Angeles.
As you may know Bridge is responsible for the entire North & South America, Africa, and the Australian, New Zealand and Oceania continents. And, we've been running an Org Series Executive Training program for Class V Org staff so they can boom their org like never before.
I am writing to you, as you have been on staff at Sydney org at some time in the past.
As I am sure you know Sydney is coming very close to becoming an Ideal Org. The entire field is rallying around this purpose, where this is very exciting we still have a lot of work to do.
I am interested in knowing your viewpoint, what was ideal and what wasnt so ideal. When things were going the best and the org was booming, what was it you felt was in that made it that way.
Thus I am writing to you and would like to meet with you or at least speak with you. I want to ask you a few specific questions but also really listen to what you have to say.
Maybe you feel someone in the past has not listened to you or really duplicated your viewpoint, I would like to and am very interested in what you know.
You viewpoint is valuable and it will help me greatly if you will take some moments to speak to me about this.
I am mostly stationed at Sydney org so you can call there or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or call my moblie 0415 882 321
Thank you in advance, I look forward to speaking to you.

Good Grief.... If you look closely in the middle slideshow at the 5th and 8th photos you can actually see the poor fool being regged for staff, and then later, his spirit broken, he walks resigned towards the hangmans noose (Tony Twomey).
As noted in the Melbourne thread, damn I am sick of going through this spam. If anyone wants to take over my job and get the Leaks I/C hat write-up send me an expression of interest PM.
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Jesus.
My life and Scn.
God, they offer MEST prizes! It's a competition? For what? Biggest sucker?
You'd think they'd offer training, that wouldn't cost them a dime.
Guess people'd rather have an iPod than a course in their Idull Ug

They've even brought someone out from Bridge for this recruitfest - that email/questionnaire is thinly disguised to get you into the org and in front of a recruiter.
And, if you don't sign up, I'm sure they'll threaten you with ETHICS!!!!!!
Trouble Area Questionnaires, investigations etc etc.
Meanwhile, yesterday I saw a poster for a weekly mag that read "Scientology Murder Scandal" with a picture of Katie and Suri - losing much, cult?

"Scooter" to his friends
If he has no friends and everyone's against him
If he's failed in everything that he has tried
Try to lift his load, help to bear his burden
Let him know that you are walking by his side
And if he feels that all is lost and he is fallen
Try to place that poor man's feet on solid ground
Just remember he's some mother's precious darlin'
Always lift him up and never knock him down
Blind Alfred Reed

First one my cat would use. I had one that was just carpet and she only started using it when I put a plastic bird feeder on the window. This one she won't get off of.
Pros: Soft and easy to clean.
Cons: None
