Common questions and handy tips for signing up and using Packet.
Why is so much information required to register?
We've learned that on-demand bare metal is an attractive tool for DDoS and other malicious activities, with the potential to impact the public internet as well as our our platform. As such, we take time to validate each user's identity. Usually this is accomplished automatically, but at times a manual review is necessary. If you are impacted by this, we really appreciate your understanding!
Organizations are a billing entity that sit one level above users and projects.
Much like with GitHub and other popular SaaS tools, at Packet every user has their own account and infrastructure is deployed into a project. In the past each Packet project was like an island, with different rates, collaborators, etc. Even if owned by the same person, setting up a new project meant starting from scratch.
With organizations, you can now own multiple projects all under the same roof. This makes it easier for power users and companies to organize and scale their work.
There are two types of organizations:
- Personal organizations are meant for individuals (e.g. personal servers, example projects, or test integrations.)
- Company organizations are tied to a corporate entity and typically involve multiple projects and several collaborators.
A way to organize and manage work * team members. In this way, a project allows you to group infrastructure according to your needs while still having a single user account. For instance, many users will want to have access to a project for their work, but also spin up servers at Packet for personal reasons (gaming server, OwnCloud box, etc!)
At a technical level, projects also define certain behaviors on the Packet platform. For example, devices within a project can talk to each other on their private network IPs (similar to a VPC at Amazon Web Services).
If you want other people (or teammates) working with you on a specific project, you can add them as project collaborators. This is way better and more secure than creating a shared logins like 'email@example.com'! Collaborators will have the same capabilities as you (the project owner) on a per project basis:
- create devices
- delete devices
- power off/on and reboot instances
- access metrics
If they are listed as a billing contact they can also view project invoices.
If you wish to get started & invite teammates to your account, just navigate to the Project in question and click the 'Collaborator' tab. Once there, enter the email address(es) of the folks you wish to invite in the invitation field.
We've written a prefab email message for you, but you can of course go ahead and write your own. Then hit the 'Send Invitations' button once you're ready.
Collaborators will receive an email from us and after they've accepted (and signed up—assuming they do not have a preexisting account) be able to access your project.
When accepting an invitation, collaborator will not need to add a credit card or other payment method. They would only need to add one if they wanted to create a new project and be the owner of that new project.
Deployment Limit:
We set a device limit for new users. If you wish to increase your deployment limit just send an email request to firstname.lastname@example.com Let us know about your use case for the project, and how many devices you are planning to deploy, so that we can adjust your limit accordingly.
Where is my project ID?
You can find your Project ID under the 'Project Settings' section in the Packet Portal. They are listed underneath each project in the listing, as shown here:
How can I create user-level API Key?
You will find your API Key on the top left side by clicking your user icon > security. If you have existing keys you will find them listed on that page.
How can I create a project-specific API Key?
You can add project specific API key, by clicking on 'Project Settings' at the top of the customer portal.
Where can I find documentation on the API?
You can find our API documentation here. It is generated automatically via Swagger and should be up to date at all times, but if you notice something missing or have a question, we'd love to hear from you.
Integrations & API Clients
If you're looking for client libraries (PHP, Golang, Python, etc) you can find them in the Integrations section of our website.
What's next?
Check out our quick start guide for our API and popular integrations.
How can I add/delete SSH Keys?
You have a choice to only allow it to be a personal key if you are the sole administrator, or you can add it to a project should you wish to share access to the server.
Personal Key:
Project-based Key:
What is 2FA & how do enable/disable it?
Two-factor authentication allows you to configure an additional means of authentication on your account, helping to reduce the risk of account takeover or other malicious activity.
To setup 2FA on your account, simply visit 'User Icon' -> 'Security' and follow the instructions. Packet currently supports 2FA authentication via an authenticator app or SMS text message. Data rates may apply.
Once the 2FA is set up, you will be able to get 10 Recovery Codes which can be used to access your account in the event you lose access to your server and cannot receive two-factor authentication codes.
When logging into Packet, you will be prompted with an additional login step after entering your password, either by entering the code from your favorite 2-factor app, or the text message you receive via SMS.
If have no way to receive the authentication code, you can use on of the 10 recovery codes mentioned above.
If you get locked out or replace your phone, please email firstname.lastname@example.com for support.

Tackle Malaria Today – Give tomorrow a Chance
Tackle Malaria Today – Give tomorrow a Chance
Britain's proposals for an international initiative to build a strong and prosperous Africa are doomed to struggle unless they tackle the continent's burden of malaria. The United Kingdom, in its presidencies of the G8 and the European Union, must take the lead in securing long-term commitment to a scaled-up global effort to fight malaria. This investment will also produce excellent returns in terms of health and economic benefits, as malaria control is one of the most cost-effective public health interventions known.
Executive Summary
"Malaria traps countries in a vicious cycle of poverty and ill health. Progress by African countries in expanding their economies and
reducing poverty over the past decade is now endangered by a failure to use our collective knowledge, wisdom and resources to bring essential medical advances to bear for the benefit of all our citizens." – Dr Pascoal Mocumbi, former Prime Minister of Mozambique
Malaria has over millennia changed the course of geopolitics and military campaigns. Unless it is now tackled head-on, the disease risks jeopardising the international community's proposed initiatives to lift Africa out of poverty, and build a strong and prosperous continent. Africa is currently at the top of the global agenda, and a major plank of Britain's year-long presidencies of both the European Union and the Group of Eight rich nations (G8). On the table are proposals to provide debt relief for the poorest countries, ease protectionist trade barriers, and create a fund, the International Finance Facility, which would raise up to
US$ 50 billion annually in aid.
But the enormous benefits promised by these new initiatives risk being compromised by the sheer scale of the human and economic burden of malaria in Africa. The 17-member international Commission for Africa, created to address the challenges facing the continent, acknowledged in its report, published in March 2005, that controlling malaria is critical to social and economic progress.
This report of the All-Party Parliamentary Malaria Group complements the Commission for Africa's work, and expands in greater detail on how to respond to the challenge of malaria. It concludes that to have a chance of success, any new initiative for Africa must be accompanied by a massive and sustained science-based and operationally practical scale up of efforts to stamp out malaria on the continent.

Schrader Commercial Properties is a company that offers personalized service to both property owners and tenants and during the course of our engagement you will likely work with several of our employees through our team approach to customer relations.
Our day to day property management point-of-contact is our property manager, Melinda Wester. Melinda brings more than 20 years of administrative, customer service and property management experience to our company. She makes frequent site visits to assess maintenance issues and can assist owners and tenants with repairs and improvements to keep properties in prime condition.
Our office manager, Kay Stewart, has over 25 years of business experience in the accounting, legal and property management departments of a large restaurant franchisee. She has an outstanding work ethic and is known by our tenants, property owners and vendors for her high level of customer service.
Your property will also be supported by Josh Nelson our full time maintenance technician who will be on call 24 hours per day. Jamie Schrader will be working jointly with Melinda, Kay and Josh and will be on site regularly to speak with property owners about building issues and will personally handle all leasing. We know from previous experience that commercial property issues occur in the middle of the night, on weekends and on holidays and we are staffed to respond and have responded to emergencies 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
Management Experience
Schrader Commercial Properties management responsibilities principally involve commercial office buildings and work as a court appointed receiver on commercial properties. The company manages 151 and 161 North Eagle Creek Office Drive, a 70,000 square foot office building complex across from St. Joseph East Hospital. Recently we were engaged by Your Community Bank to manage all of its headquarters building on Sir Barton Way as well as its branch locations.
Previously, Schrader managed a Frankfort Shopping Center owned by American Founders Bank consisting of a strip shopping center and an adjacent state office building. Schrader Commercial Properties was successful in selling both the Frankfort shopping center and state office building. In 2011 we worked as the receiver on a 27-unit apartment project on Lakeshore Drive which converted to a property management assignment on behalf of City National Bank (Los Angeles) as part of an FDIC covered asset program. Schrader Commercial eventually sold the property as the agent of City National Bank. Also in 2011, Schrader completed an assignment as the court appointed receiver for the Heritage and Canterbury Apartments, a 244-unit apartment complex at Richmond Road and Lakeshore Drive. The receiver assignments involve recommendations from lenders and approvals from the court and require the immediate takeover of mismanaged and troubled assets.
Financial Reporting
Accurate, detailed and timely financial reporting is a critical component of quality property management. You will receive by the 15th of each month, emailed to whomever you designate, the following information:
- Copy of all cancelled checks
- General ledger with sufficient detail to show every check written, dollar amount, payee and purpose.
- Copy of Bank Statement and Reconciliation of Bank Statement

Financial controls will be implemented to provide necessary assurances that quality reporting exists and to meet the owner's requirements. All checking accounts will be single purpose accounts solely for the management of the property and there will be no commingling in the account of other deposit funds. Approvals for expenditures will be in accordance with policies set by you and will be followed closely by Schrader Commercial Properties.
Property Management
You will benefit by having Schrader Commercial Properties available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and 365 days per year to handle property emergencies. We use an efficient work order system which allows tenants or property owner to email us regarding any property management matters and we also are available by phone. Our personnel will be on site on a regular basis and highly visible to the property owners and tenants, particularly during the initial transition period.
Our complete duties and responsibilities are outlined in more detail in our management agreement.
Leasing Program
In marketing the property, we will provide the following at our expense:
- Attractive, eye catching signage advertising the property for lease on both the roadway and in the vacant spaces.
- Obtain professional photographs to use in the marketing of the property.

Last spring, Perry Eaton's advisor at Tufts University put him in touch with Joe Christy at Beaver. "It was the beginning of a fruitful relationship, not only with a great educator, but with a school unlike any other I've experienced," Eaton said. Since then, Eaton has spent the past year working as a student teacher in Beaver's Global History Department. He shares his experience below in the final post of a three-part series on life as a BVR student teacher. Read Part 1 and Part 2.
In the spring term, in addition to teaching a senior elective, I also learned more about the school's culture.
Diversity at Beaver
When I started at Beaver, one of the first things Joe Christy, Director of Student Engagement, told me was that every Beaver faculty member assumes the role of Head of Diversity. This was a responsibility I was eager to explore, and what I've learned this year is there's no singular way this role manifests itself. Instead, it's part of the inclusive nature the entire community approaches all aspects of school life. For example, the curriculum is always designed with empathy in mind, looking to encounter new content through different perspectives: i.e., History classes look at the past and present from a global perspective and English classes dig into texts from voices of many different backgrounds. In addition, Beaver faculty make the role a big part of their practices – seeking development opportunities to learn more and attending workshops and conferences like PoCC and the Multicultural Teaching Institute to have purposeful discussions. I look forward to growing this part of my practice as well: It's paramount to the Beaver community and crucial to teaching all learners.
Mistakes and reflection
Having my own class – a 12th grade elective called The History of the Media and its Influences – was the challenge that I prepared for throughout this year. I knew I'd make mistakes, but I wanted to use these mistakes constructively in order to grow. One way I was able to do this was to build time into each day to reflect on what I did in the classroom. Mr. Northrop would often join me in this, and we'd trade bits of feedback on what we did well that day and what we needed to adjust. I also grew fond of using video in the classroom this semester. Filming myself teaching and then watching it back was often awkward, but always a useful tool for creating changes to my approach. I found this so helpful that I flipped the camera and filmed one of our class' presentations. When I gave these videos back to students, I had them critique themselves and change the way they looked at their next project. Our class even ended up using a tech tool called Loom to video-journal their experiences throughout our semester-long project. While it's never easy to confront your own errors and bad-habits in real-time, it ultimately leads to positive change – if you're a teacher or a student.
Creating in the classroom
One experiment I tried this term was to assign a semester-long project, and to leave it as open as possible for students to pursue what they were interested in (as long as it was tied to the themes of the course). The senior spring term is six weeks long – enough time for each student to try something new if they wanted. Many took advantage of this opportunity, and the products reflected their risk-taking. For example, textual analyses of newspaper headlines were realized in the form of a 3-D printed sculpture (pictured above); Twitter use in the 2016 Presidential Election was examined in a podcast; and television coverage of men's and women's soccer was illustrated in an animated infographic. While there are plenty of adjustments that would have made this assignment more effective to all types of learners, the elements of creation and choice were very valuable to the class. I admire many of the risks that students took this semester to create something new and interesting.
My first year at Beaver was an invaluable trial-and-reflection process that gave me the tools to continue to grow and always evolve my practice as a teacher. I am constantly impressed by the new challenges that Beaver's students are eager to tackle, and the dedication and support matched by their teachers. I am thrilled to return next year as a full-time teacher in both the Global History and English departments. If I – along with my students –am able to grow as much as I did this year, I know it will be another successful one.
See you all in the fall!

Obamacare Exchanges to Start as Questions Persist: Q&A
Source: Bloomberg.com
Author: Alex Nussbaum
The countdown to the Oct. 1 debut of the Obamacare insurance exchanges has looked a lot like a political race, with dueling TV ads, door-knocking volunteers and a focus on swing-state targets.
Just don't expect the usual ending to a campaign: a clear winner at the end of the day.
While the exchanges are expected to open on time, that milestone is unlikely to settle the 3 1/2-year grudge match over the Affordable Care Act. Technical limits and a long enrollment period mean it may be as late as April before it's clear how many uninsured Americans sign up under the law.
"Is it going to be a train wreck, a complete failure? The answer is no," said Dan Schuyler, a director at Leavitt Partners, a Salt Lake City-based health-care consultant. "Is it going to be completely seamless and instantaneous? No. It is going to be somewhere in between."
The exchanges are at the heart of the law's efforts to cover more of the 48 million uninsured Americans. About 7 million people will use the system to buy subsidized insurance by the end of the first open enrollment period on March 31, according to congressional projections.
Republicans will spotlight any problem as proof the law is a disaster. Democrats say they'll overcome technical glitches and the law will sell itself as the uninsured gain benefits. Polls show most Americans side with the skeptics.
The Breakdown
Here's a primer on what to look for, based on interviews with consultants, insurers, analysts and state and federal officials:
Q: Who runs the exchanges?
Fourteen states have their own online exchanges, with the rest run in whole or part by the U.S. government.
Q: Who will use them?
A: The exchanges are open to people who buy coverage on their own and employees of businesses with 50 or fewer workers, as well as those currently shut out of insurance because of cost or a medical condition.Subsidies are available, on a sliding scale, to those making as much as four times the poverty level, which is $11,500 for a single person and $24,000 for a family of four. Those making less than 138 percent of poverty will be eligible for Medicaid if they live in one of the 26 states set to expand the program.
Q: What happens if the federal government shuts down?
A: The exchanges will march on. That's because the 2010 law relies primarily on mandatory spending, which congressional inaction can't stop. It's the budget category used for benefits such as Medicare, the U.S. health plan for the elderly and disabled, and Social Security.
Going Online
Q: How do you access the exchanges?
A: If all goes as planned, those not covered through work will be able to go online or dial a call-in center, learn if they're eligible for tax credits and choose from a menu of private plans. The exchanges can be found at www.healthcare.gov.
Q: Who won't use them?
A: Most of us. People who have insurance through their jobs, about 55 percent of Americans, aren't directly affected by the law and are automatically in compliance with its mandate that everyone be insured. So are older Americans covered through Medicare.
Q: Do I have to buy insurance?
A: Yes, or pay a fine. The law requires that most Americans be insured starting Jan. 1. That can be through work, a government program like Medicare or Medicaid, or by buying on the exchanges. Those who opt out face a penalty starting next year at $95 or 1 percent of household income, whichever is higher. By 2016, it rises to $695 per individual or 2.5 percent of household income, whichever is greater.
Technological Challenge
Q: Is the technology for the exchanges in place?
A: Building the exchanges has been a massive technical lift, requiring computer systems with real-time connections among dozens of state and U.S. agencies and private carriers. The administration says the system is ready to go, albeit with delays and reduced capabilities in some cases. In Oregon, for instance, people won't be able to buy a plan the first two weeks unless they go through a broker or designated nonprofit.
Glitches are inevitable; the question is how serious they may be and how long it takes to fix them.
Q: Has anything else been delayed?
A: The law requires that large companies offer benefits to anyone working more than 30 hours a week. In July, that rule was postponed until 2015 to ease the burden of compliance.
This past week, officials said a Spanish-language version of the federal website won't be ready until mid-October and an exchange for small business workers won't take enrollments until November. Nevada and California also won't transmit names of new customers to insurers for about a month, Schuyler said.
Enrollment Pace
Q: How many people will sign up early on?
A: Call it lowering expectations or a realistic assessment: either way, supporters say they don't expect a flood of enrollees this week. Insurance buyers have to pay their first month's premium within 30 days of choosing a plan and the policies don't take effect until Jan. 1. As a result, the Obama administration says most people will wait until late November or December. Another surge may come in March as the end of the enrollment period nears.
Q: Will the coverage be affordable?
A: It depends on who you are and where you live. Six in 10 uninsured people will find insurance for less than $100 a month because of subsidies and expansions to Medicaid, the administration said last week. Those who make too much for assistance may be in for sticker shock: the same report said even bare-bones coverage, known as a bronze plan, will average almost $3,000 a year for individuals.
Family Plans
For families, the cost of mid-level coverage, a silver plan, ranges from $559 a month to $1,216 a month in 36 states where the federal government controls the exchanges. Tax credits will reduce the cost for many: a family earning $50,000 a year may find the price of a bronze plan cut to zero in some states.
Q: How will insurers cover the costs for all those added sick people?
A: By signing up the young and healthy. The administration said it needs about 40 percent of new enrollees to be in this group to help balance costs from older, sicker customers and keep premiums stable.
Q: Do Americans understand what they're getting into?
A: No. The polls indicate consistent confusion. Three in five say the law will raise medical costs, and more say they'll be worse off under it than better, according to a Bloomberg National Poll conducted Sept. 20-23. Half also said Republicans should back off on demands to defund the law, a schizophrenic view that's persisted for months.
Finding Support
Q: So does anybody like this law?
A: Yes. Sixty-one percent of Hispanics and 91 percent of blacks, according to a September poll by the Pew Research Center and USA Today. That could make the sales pitch easier because those two groups comprise the bulk of the uninsured in the U.S. -- 47 percent of the total, according to an analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation. The law also is designed to benefit people with pre-existing medical conditions: insurers will no longer be able to deny them coverage.
Q: What's happening in the big states?
A: Supporters have focused on states such as Texas, Florida, Ohio and New Jersey, where many uninsured live and Republican governors refuse to help in enrollment. California, which has the most uninsured, is spending $100 million to promote its exchange while New York plans to spend $27 million to train community groups and brokers to assist consumers.
Navigating Choices
Q: How much help do consumers get?
A: The administration is spending $67 million to train health workers, hospitals and other groups, called navigators, to help people enroll. Grants didn't arrive until August, though, and many began a two-week training course this month. If they're not up to the task, enrollment may suffer.
"You're going to have tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of individuals who have never been exposed to health insurance before -- don't know what a premium is, what a deductible is," said Schuyler, the consultant.
Q: Do Democrats think the law needs to change?
A: Some have called for changes: Families of workers whose company plan doesn't include dependents can't get subsidies. A tax credit for small businesses has been criticized as ineffective. And there are bipartisan bills in Congress to change a provision that may encourage businesses to cut workers' hours to avoid insuring them. A quick fix seems unlikely: Republicans say they won't tinker with a law they consider fundamentally flawed.
Medicaid Expansion
Q: What's happening with Medicaid?
A: While the government health program for low-income Americans is expanding under the law, about half the states have opted out. The Obama administration just days ago agreed to let Arkansas use the money to help poor citizens buy private insurance on its exchange. The deal could entice other states where Republicans have opposed the expansion.
Q: Is Obamacare making health-care more expensive?
A: Time will tell.
Medical costs have moderated in the U.S. the past three years, offering some relief to the public and private sectors alike. Prices for medical care rose 1 percent in July compared with a year earlier, the lowest growth rate since the 1960s, according to U.S. Commerce Department data. There's a debate among economists about how much credit to give the health law compared with a weak economy and employer moves to curtail benefits. Obamacare supporters say at least some of the slowdown is thanks to regulations and pilot programs in the act aimed at reducing waste in the medical system.

In working with clients, I get to observe some of the biggest beliefs that get in the way of positive, effective and joyful leadership. One of these beliefs is "If I work harder, I'll have more success, and I'll be happier." "If I just push through this...." Not so true.
People sometimes think it woo woo when I talk about "leading one's energy intentionally and holding their space" - but this is actually one of the places this comes into play. It's all about the energy of the work; the lens you see it through, and the energy you bring to the table.
Try it on. Try on "working hard" - feel into it. Feel your body, what happens with your brain, feel any emotion that comes up for you. Now try on "present, open and curious"- feel into that. What's different?
"Working harder" has a "force" to it, it's pushing, it has a scarcity energy to it, it's "tight", it's uphill, it's exhausting. It does not inspire, it does not compel. It grinds.
"Being present in the moment, open, curious, leading my energy, managing my space, and being fully engaged in the work, finding the gifts in it - even enjoying it" (or whatever works for you :-)), has a different impact. All the sudden the space has opened up. Instead of force, I've stepped back, I've caught my breath, I've looked at how it can be more fun, more energizing, more organic.
Regardless of how "hard" something is, if I can, in the moment, start to find the opportunity in it and a bit more space, I've changed the energy I'm bringing to the table. My resource state, my ability to engage with the work, shifts. The exact same work - that was once hard and I was going to trudge through it, remains the same work, yet now I have more space to look at it, to work with it, to collaborate and leverage myself, to see new perspectives, and to even enjoy it.
I've been playing with this with clients for years, imagine my delight when a client sent me this link today discussing positivity in work and that working harder is not the answer. It's a 12 minute video from a TED talk by Shawn Achor. You'll find some great statistics in here (love the way he does stats), and some easy ways to start increasing that positivity...that, oh by the way, will make you work better while you feel happy doing it.

Rhode Island welcomes the Exede Internet Providers
Rural locations around Rhode Island have been very limited with their broadband internet service. Carriers ability to provide fast online speeds is finally changing with Exede Internet. Todays increased data transfer file sizes demands a faster service. Video streaming, picture and file downloads all require speed. Rural Rhode Island homes simply can not depend on older services slow online connection. The internet has been changing daily. If your home in Rhode Island is in an area not served by conventional carriers, you are going to love the new Exede internet service. Exede satellite internet main advantage is its availability and incredibly fast download speeds. RI, home owners with antiquated satellite services only capable of speeds 2mbps and slower can now enjoy blazing fast Exede satellite internet provider.
How did Internet Start?
The online revolution originally began as an information sharing network for the government. As time went on universities and colleges also began utilizing the information web the government had developed. Soon the popularity of a full time information library exploded, beginning in 1990 commercial online access to the masses was born. The 1990s were the beginning of an industry that would cover the globe. Satellite like Exede and Dsl throught the phone company blossomed shortly. Today internet services providers or ISP is a common term we associate with our local cable and telephone companies, even wireless phone carriers are joining the boom.
What is broadband does Exede internet providers have it?
When referring to Rhode Island broadband internet, in simple terms, broadband is a speed rating. Remember the old dialup connections. Downloading a song could take you 30 minutes, and more than 24 hours for a movie. Today as your Rhode Island internet has evolved into a video streaming source as well as the popularity of flash oriented web sites, our demands for speed is transforming the technology on an ongoing basis. Like a speedometer in your car the broadband speed kicks in at 256 Kbps and above. Broandband can be acquired from your local cable providers, telephone carriers, Exede satellite internet provider and wireless ISP.
When did we start using broadband?
Cable ISP was the first carrier to offer Rhode Island broadband. DSL and Exede satellite followed. This may seem like it must have been years ago but in fact, that year that started the new need for speed was 1997. From that point on dialup service was doomed, by 2004 homes in Rhode Island and across America considered broadband a necessity and not just a luxury. In this short time we have seen broadband providers all scramble to provider faster and faster service including Exede internet services. We are all in for an exciting ride as the web evolves.
Rhode Island Wireless internet
A perfect solution for Rhode Island people that need portable internet service. We are all familiar with the explosion of the mobile cell phone service. Our society is quickly changing from the traditional landline phone service. The ability to access phone service from just about anywhere is becoming a common luxury we all depend on. Wireless is quickly becoming a common luxury too. As cell towers around Rhode Island and across the US expand service areas, we can look forward to vast areas of RI high-speed availability. Availability is what is driving the changing technology today, we love our electronic gadgets. Iphone, Ipad, wifi netbooks, smart phones, gps navigation, and the list of cool gizmos is growing by the minute. Wire less is great for on thr go but do to limited coverage Exede satellite internet is a great choice for home.
Exede Vs Cable Vs DSL Speeds
Wireless Connection Test
Rhode Island Wireless internet providers service is strictly limited to tower coverage areas. Similar to dsl there is a limit to availability. Speeds will vary depending on distance from the providers transmission tower. The new 4G service can be blazing fast with download rates in the teens. However coverage areas in Rhode Island vary, you may only get 1-2 mbps download if you are somewhat out of range. As technology improves we should see some exciting developments from the wireless internet providers
Cable ISP Speeds
As the need for speed increases, a fast broadband provider is paramount. The web has changed and evolved into a media source for our families. Yes we still email but the web also is more video oriented today than ever before. Online gaming, Netflix, hulu, youtube, and other video streaming sites require at least 10 to 15mbps download to limit and avoid buffering. Cable internet service providers speeds vary however some cable carriers are capable of speeds up to 105mbps. This is probably too fast for anything the average household would need but in some areas it's available. For the average consumer the 10 to 12 mbps download plans should be affordable as well as plenty fast to allow pleasurable streaming and web surfing.
Speed test for Exede Satellite Internet
Buckle your seat belt rural Rhode Island. New technology from the RI Exede internet providers is going to make surfing the web and streaming video finally possible. With speeds up to 12mbps download, Exede has the ability to bring your rural Rhode Island home into the future. Video streaming is a pastime many rural locations on the map around Rhode Island have not previously been able to do. Generally 10mbps or above is needed to stream with minimal buffering. Buffering is the stalling out of your video picture. This can be very annoying. Although many satellite plans will have data caps that will limit your usage in prime time, your carrier may have off peak unlimited usage. In rural Exede locations you may be able to set your DVR up to stream and record your video at night. If your home is in the right area across America you will be thrilled at the lightning fast broadband from Exede in RI.

I love home canning! What better way to preserve a good garden harvest than to turn tomatoes into diced tomatoes and sauce, hot peppers into pickled peppers and leftover zucchini into zucchini pickles? Alas, since getting our glass-top stove, I haven't been able to can. The only canner we had that was big enough was far too heavy for the stovetop. Which is why, when my dad asked if there was anything in particular I wanted for Christmas, I asked for a pressure cooker/canner.
Knowing it was a bit of an expensive request, I didn't know if I would get one. But lo and behold this was under the tree on Christmas morning! I couldn't have been more excited. A pressure cooker/canner with a flat bottom, just the right size for our stove, perfect for cooking or canning just about anything I set my mind to? Best practical present ever. (That, and I'm still a huge kitchen gadget geek!)
Another reason I wanted a pressure cooker is that I've been wanting to switch to dried beans. I know you can soak and cook them in regular pots, but it takes so long that it's one of the things I truly don't have time for with the way my schedule is right now. With a pressure cooker, you don't even have to soak the beans first if you're in a hurry. I learned this thanks to Great Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure by Lorna Sass, recommended to me by the fabulous, pressure-cooker-loving JL over at JL Goes Vegan. If you're wondering what to do with a pressure cooker and why they're so amazing, check out JL's blog. She has a wealth of information and recipes for anyone who needs help getting started.
Of course, once she recommended the book to me, I had to get it out of the library. Flipping through it, I discovered a recipe that would let me do three things that I've been wanting to do, all in one go. The recipe was for 12-bean soup and started out with dried beans. I just so happen to have some Bob's Red Mill 13-bean soup mix hanging around from this year's vegan package swap that has been waiting for just the right soup recipe. Cooking with dried beans? Check. Using a special ingredient? Check. Tossing it all in the pressure cooker? Oh yeah.
At 16 quarts, my cooker is a bit big for recipes meant to feed just one family, but all that means is that it takes some time to come to pressure and then to release the pressure naturally. Before cooking, I took the advice of the owner's manual and did a test run to see how long each process would take. That way, I could time everything accordingly. The soup itself required 14 minutes at 15lbs. of pressure. Add to that around 5 minutes to come up to pressure and 20 or so for natural pressure release, and I had enough time to make breadsticks and salad to go along with the meal!
The soup started out with a pretty basic combination of carrots and onions with beans and seasonings, but there were several variations listed at the end. I chose the Mediterranean one, adding oregano, basil, paprika and crushed red pepper to the mix along with fresh spinach and chunks of white mushrooms. I also swapped parsnips for a portion of the carrots to create even more variety. The combination of everything smelled delicious almost immediately. A couple tablespoons of balsamic vinegar rounded everything out once cooking time was done and it was safe to open the cooker.
I've gotta tell you, I don't know if it was the mixture of beans, the smoothness of the spinach or the way the pressure cooker cooked everything, but this was one of the creamiest soups I've ever eaten. The broth was rich and thick and the flavor was excellent. I did wind up soaking the beans beforehand, which might have contributed to the texture; I can't be sure. Whatever the case, I'm extremely happy with my pressure cooker and plan to try out a bunch more recipes in the future! Since making this soup, I've canned some homemade tomato sauce with good results. Next, I want to try something with rice or quinoa to see how that comes out when cooked under pressure.
Do you have a pressure cooker? What's your favorite thing to make in it?

What is anyone's views on the nazi zombies on call of duty?
I kind of enjoyed it but i played it too much(that's normaly the case why i don't play certain games anymore).
What is anyone's views on the nazi zombies on call of duty?
I kind of enjoyed it but i played it too much(that's normaly the case why i don't play certain games anymore).
All I know is, that they were created to counter the Zombies of "Проект зомби Ленин" (Zombie project Lenin) . This project was intended to militarily exploit Lenin's condition after he was so Cursed by Rasputin for his part in the Romanoff murders. The Reich, fearing a soldier Zombie gap, proceeded to enact the "Programme Gepanzert Sturm Zombie"( Armored storm Zombie).
I have no idea what thread it is in, but there were a few posts commenting on the seeming Anglo-American fascination with tying the Nazis to the occult and supernatural. I think if you search for the film thread on "Outpost," you'll see some opinions on the Nazis at the end of COD. I myself didn't enjoy it too much as it was impossible to win and seem to lack a point...
As with most Countries, and Religions, Germany had its own brand of Shamanism, which some may consider an occult practice. when I was in Germany, I had toured a number of the Castles and palace buildings, and the guides would always take time to point out the rooms in these places where such practice occurred. They would explain the things in the room in some detail, and usually added some tidbit about the reich, and its observance of these practices. This may have been soley for the purpose of magically transferring money from my pocket to theirs, but it was talked about in every one of the visits. I know very little of German "Pow wow" magic, (has nothing to do with the american Indians) So can offer no real info about it, just of my experiences there.

I vaguely remember it from COD: World at War and something to do with JFK and Zombies in COD: Black OPs, didn't really interest me as it's a survival mode.
Agreed. But it's fun to play it co-op! So you can see how far you and a bunch of friends can go! haha.
yea, i remember getting to level 50 on Nacht Der Untoten, i even uploaded a video on youtube a year ago (here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIt0sDwJf4k)
i have spent countless hours playing this Co-Op my self with some old school buddies, i find it most enjoyable when camping in a corner or something giving eachother covering fire while reloading and eventually being overuned:P
I use to play it a lot. I think the highest I ever got was like 46, I use to really enjoy it a lot but then it got a little boring. I like to play some custom maps but my computer can't run it. so ya. Its a pretty fun game to play
Life is short... We should then cherish every sec of it.
agreed, i had some custom maps too

(CNN) -- Officials in Ciudad Juarez are looking for the perpetrators of a prison massacre, as details emerge about the late Monday incident that left 17 inmates dead.
Authorities in the city have opened an investigation into the episode. Forty-four prison guards have been questioned as part of the investigation, according to Jorge Gonzalez Nicolas, the northern district chief for the Chihuahua state attorney's office, adding that 406 inmates have undergone gun-powder residue tests to determine if they were involved in the shootings.
Most of the victims were gang members who were attacked by rivals at the state prison in the border city of Ciudad Juarez, Gonzalez said.
He described the deaths of the inmates as "an execution."
Authorities released a prison surveillance video that shows two men with their faces covered. They appear to force an unarmed prison guard to give them the keys to a holding cell as another unarmed guard stands by. The men use the keys to open at least two metal doors, allowing access to four men carrying guns, who also have their faces covered.
The video shows the armed men shooting into the holding cell with automatic weapons, but the camera angle doesn't reveal what happened inside.
Both the shooters and the victims were inmates, according to Gonzalez.
"This shooting makes it evident that there's corruption and serious lack of security at the prison," Gonzalez said. "Somehow a group of prisoners came all the way from yard No. 3 to this holding area, took the cell keys from the guards and executed 13 people."
Four other bodies appeared elsewhere inside the prison, according to Gonzalez.
The armed inmates tried to escape after the shooting, Gonzalez said. Federal, state and municipal police forces intercepted the inmates, who were trying to reach a tunnel that connects the prison to an adjacent courthouse. But the inmates ran back into the prison, got rid of their weapons and dispersed among other prisoners, he said.
Authorities said they have recovered six weapons: two Uzis, one AK-47 assault rifle and three 9mm automatic handguns.
Gonzalez says what happened at the prison is not surprising.
"Historically, this CERESO (a Spanish acronym for Mexican state prisons) has been a place where drug lords have planned executions and human trafficking occurring outside the prison," he said. "The fact that inmates inside the prison were able to perpetrate this massacre speaks of the level of corruption we're dealing with, but we're working diligently to change the situation."
The top prosecutor said authorities also are investigating whether a party was held at the prison the night before the shootings in which there were drugs, alcohol and as many as 20 prostitutes, including several minors. Some of the inmates attending the party, Gonzalez said, where the victims of the massacre.
The police chief of Ciudad Juarez, Julian Leyzaola, was at the prison where the deadly incident occurred when he was fired on by federal officers earlier this week. The country's National Security Ministry said Wednesday that Leyzaola "acted outside of the protocol" when he breached a security perimeter and drove by a checkpoint without stopping.
Leyzaola took on the job of Ciudad Juarez' top cop in March. He has confidently predicted that the city will be pacified and public confidence will return by 2012. He has fired more 150 police officers and been the target of death threats by drug cartels.
But he also acknowledges a rift between local and federal police. Coordination between the two "doesn't exist," he told CNN in an exclusive interview earlier this year. "There is no coordination. They do their work on their side, and we do it on ours."
On Tuesday, the mayor of the embattled border city said that federal police will begin pulling out of Ciudad Juarez in September. Mayor Hector Murguia said an assessment indicated that the city's security situation is under control and that local police are in a position to take over control of security.
More than 8,000 federal police arrived in Ciudad Juarez in March 2008. They were part of Joint Operation Chihuahua, the federal government's strategic plan to curtail escalating violence in the city, submitted by Mexican President Felipe Calderon.

Professional and not-so-professional singers raise cash.
The Wooden Spoon Charity and Cure Leukaemia were the clear winners when the Old Rose and Crown hotel in Lickey held a Music Extravaganza/Karaoke Night and raised £1,800 for the charities.
Hosted by locals Dougie and Amelia Brown as part of their London Marathon fundraising, the event saw guests treated to songs by Amelia, who is a classically trained professional singer, as well as former Bromsgrove School teacher Paul Greetham accompanied by Phil Kirwan on guitar (pictured above).
Local schoolgirl Fran Kingston, whom Amelia had come across via her music career, was also invited to perform.
After the professionals, the mic was opened up and an array of voices took to the stage, each having had money pledged to the charity if they sang – the only way to get out of it was to match that pledge with your own cash.
Some were amazing – including the Old Rose and Crown's very own Hayley – while others were so bad they were brilliant!

The Boston Bruins' fourth line provides much-needed energy on many shifts each game, and Thursday night's matchup with the Dallas Stars was no exception.
The Merlot Line provided a strong shift in the first period by winning puck battles along the boards, supporting the puck and spending a lot of time in the attacking zone. The shift ended with a quality scoring chance, although the goal from Gregory Campbell was waved off because of a distinct kicking motion.
Check out the strong shift from the fourth line in the Berkshire Bank Exciting Rewind video above.

Today's Scripture:
"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
1 Peter 5:7, NIV
Today's Word:
God cares so much about you today. Not only does He love and care about you, He cares about the things that concern you as well. If you have concerns, worry or anxiety about something in your life today—finances, relationships, your job or anything else—know that your heavenly Father already has a plan to take care of those things for you. It's a good plan, and He wants to show Himself strong on your behalf.
Scripture reminds us that the lilies of the field and the birds of the air are cared for, how much more will your heavenly Father take care of you? Today, cast your anxiety on Him and trust that He is going to take care of you. Refuse to dwell on your problems and don't allow them to steal your peace and joy any longer. Instead, meditate on His Word and confess His promises over your life. Cast your cares on Him and experience His peace, joy and blessing all the days of your life!
Prayer for Today:
"Father, thank You for loving me and caring for me. I cast my cares on You and trust that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf. I set my mind on You and look for Your goodness in my life in Jesus' name. Amen."
