Lahore-based racket (said to have backing of PMLN politicos especially Shahbaz Sharif & his son Hamza Shahbaz) brings shame to Pakistan on Olympics eve. Rehman Malik's NADRA & Passport officials also involved in the scam.
The whole scam has come as a shock and shame for Pakistan & Pakistanis living around the world.
The links between the racket & Pakistan's corrupt politicians and administration officials is the most shameful aspect of this scandal. And in this both the Federal Govt of PPP & Punjab Govt of PML-N seem hand-in-glove.

Olympic 'terror visas' racket
Pakistan passport gang is smashed
Published: Today at 01:11
A VISA scam giving potential terrorists the chance to sneak into Britain with Pakistan's Olympic team has been smashed by The Sun.
We infiltrated a crime ring offering false passports, visas — and access to London 2012 as bogus support staff.
We uncovered a ring of corrupt Pakistani officials and travel staff conspiring with a prominent politician to bypass stringent security.
First they provided our undercover investigator with a genuine Pakistani passport in a false name.
Then leading Lahore politician Abid Chodhary spelled out how for around £7,000 he could get our man a two-month visa — and smuggle him into London 2012 as part of Pakistan's Olympic squad.
The Sun secretly filmed Mr Chodhary as he explained how easy it was to get into the Olympic Village by masquerading as a member of the athletes' support team.
We were told we could even take part in Friday's opening ceremony.
At no point did any of the corrupt officials question our reason for wanting to sneak into Britain.
An investigation was under way yesterday after we alerted MI6, the Home Office, the UK Border Agency and the British High Commission in Pakistan's capital Islamabad.
One intelligence operative said: "The Sun has unearthed a sophisticated network of corruption. The idea of unknown agents being flown in to the UK to be put up in the Olympic Village beggars belief.
"Terrorists would have the biggest platform to perform their atrocities. A member of al-Qaeda could fly to the UK on a genuine passport in another name and the authorities would be none the wiser.
"For all of our sakes this staggering loophole needs closing fast."
Our investigation centred on the Lahore-based Dream Land travel agency — prosecuted nine years ago for human trafficking.
We approached one of its staff and a meeting was arranged in Lahore with a fixer called Bobby.
Bobby bragged that for £600 in Pakistani rupees he could get us dodgy travel documents.
The next day he took our man to the National Database Registration Authority — Pakistan's passport agency — in a Lahore suburb.
Bobby explained a scan of the database had identified a Pakistani — of a similar age to The Sun's man — who had either died or his passport and ID card had expired.
Our man's photograph and fingerprints were taken. His new identity would be in the name of Muhammad Ali, born November 8, 1977.
As The Sun's undercover man was led from desk to desk in two separate passport and ID card offices it became clear up to 12 people were in on the scam at this single centre.
One official, who entered incorrect data into the computer system, even sheepishly admitted: "I shouldn't be doing this."
After a cash deposit was paid, the new documents were rubber stamped by a leading official. He signed a form stating he had met Muhammad Ali and his identification was genuine.
The paperwork was sent on to Islamabad. But two days later Bobby rang us with a problem.
An official in Islamabad was saying our man's photo was nothing like the image of the real Muhammad Ali on the database.
Another photo shoot was arranged to capture a better likeness.
Within three days Bobby was back in touch to say the passport was ready. It was handed over in the back of a car after the balance of the cash was paid.
The new document was like any other genuine Pakistani passport.
Bobby did not flinch when we then asked if we could have another passport made for an Ali Atwa — the name of a fanatic on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists list.
He merely insisted anything was possible for the right money.
Bobby added: "We make you another one in any name you like. It just takes a few more days. We have the right people in the right places and it is impossible to get caught because the passports are the real thing."
The racketeers said getting a dodgy visa for the UK was just as easy.
We were told they planned to use the Pakistan Olympic team's arrival in London as a possible means of smuggling people into Britain.
A meeting was set up between our man and Mr Chodhary, who has links to the government-run Pakistan Sports Board.
Mr Chodhary confirmed it would be easy for our man to slip into the UK by posing as an Olympic support staff member.
He said it would cost 150,000 rupees — just over £1,000 — for an official letter saying we were part of the squad.
And the total cost of the letter and a visa for two months would be a million rupees — close to £7,000.
Mr Chodhary urged us to act quickly. He added: "Tomorrow is the last day. You have to give me the passport, that is the deadline for the tournament. I will sort the letter from the Pakistan Sports Board.
"It will cost you 150,000 rupees for the letter. The visa will be for two months."
Mr Chodhary said half the money must be paid in advance.
He added: "There are lots of people in the queue to get out of the country."
The Sun has been told dodgy travel agency staff work hand-in-hand with corrupt officials across many levels of government in Pakistan.
Some are alleged to be involved in the stamping of visas at the British Embassy in Islamabad.
It is thought the ring we infiltrated has allowed scores of people to travel worldwide on bogus papers.
In the wake of The Sun's findings, the authorities are attempting to discover how many rogue travellers have already sneaked into the UK.
We were told the names of individuals currently living in London after buying dodgy documents in Pakistan.
Bobby boasted of giving one man in the UK four passports — all in different names.
Dream Land boss Malik Bashir was jailed in 2003 after a US inquiry. He admitted sending clients to the UK, US and Canada on false passports.
The Home Office yesterday praised The Sun's investigation. It added: "We thank The Sun for highlighting this attempted abuse and will be handing the evidence straight over to the Pakistani authorities.
"Olympic delegation lists are tightly controlled and are provided by each participating country so we know which Games Family Members are coming well in advance. It is a system with stringent checks in it, including requiring an individual's fingerprints. They can't be forged.
"We also have highly-trained staff based in Pakistan working with local authorities rooting out abuse and forged documentation.
"We can stop people of concern boarding planes to the UK and regularly deny access at the UK border."

**but all I saw was rock, there was no ice involved, so how's it mixed? ** I'm gonna have to use that joke now... From what I've heard, the really good slackliners get it tight enough to twang like a guitar string, so they get like 5 guys yarding on a 6:1 or more pulley system, or they take vehicles or whatever else to tighten it up. The ones we've been setting up drop a good foot or so near the ends where you mount up, more like 1.5 to 2 feet in the center of a 20-25 foot span. Hopefully I'll be able to get some pics of how regular people do it I use a 4:1 and pull on it until I feel it's good enough; you have to retighten it anyway during your session. *Hey I'm locked now!

Mr Davies resigned from the Cabinet after reporting to the police that he had been robbed at knifepoint on a housing estate in Brixton after agreeing to go to a flat with a complete stranger and two accomplices, a man and a woman who stole his car, his wallet and his private telephone, leaving him standing at the roadside.
The speed with which Mr Blair accepted Mr Davies's resignation contrasted with the drawn-out departures of former Tory ministers, but left colleagues bemused and still searching for the full story behind the reasons for his departure. No Government documents or other official papers were in the car when it was stolen.
Mr Davies, who is married, with a 12-year-old daughter, said: "It was an error of judgement on my part to put myself in a position where I could be a victim of a crime. I have accepted responsibility for that."
The Prime Minister met Mr Davies at 11am and they discussed his resignation for 45 minutes, but many MPs remained unaware of the situation until it was announced at 4pm.
The Prime Minister's official spokesman refused to go into detail beyond the exchange of letters between Mr Davies and Mr Blair, but denied there had been any sexual encounter at Clapham Common.
The spokesman said: "He has concluded that it was foolishness of a nature that he should resign. He was shocked and upset and just angry with himself at the embarrassment this would bring on the family, himself and the Government.
"As he describes it himself, he said he went out on Clapham Common because he was feeling under pressure, needed a bit of air. He had spent the weekend dealing with the floods."
But close friends and associates said apart from being irritable yesterday morning, he was not stressed over his work. "He had just been chosen by the Labour Party as First Minister for the Welsh Assembly. He was on a high," said one friend.
In his letter of resignation, Mr Davies said he had parked his car near his home in Clapham and went for a walk on the common. "Whilst walking, I was approached by a man I had never met before who engaged me in conversation.
"After talking for some minutes, he asked me to accompany him and two of his friends to his flat for a meal. We drove, in my car, to collect his friends, one male, one female. Shortly afterwards, the man produced a knife and together with his male companion robbed me and stole my car, leaving me standing at the roadside."
Mr Blair's reply warmly congratulated Mr Davies for his work in Wales. He was widely regarded as having helped secure the "yes" vote in last year's Welsh referendum, after changing his mind on the issue.
His replacement as Welsh Secretary will be Alun Michael, a Home Office minister and MP for Cardiff South and Penarth.
Clive Soley, chairman of the Parliamentary Labour Party, said: "Mr Davies has done the right thing. He did it quickly. He recognised it was an impossible situation for a minister to be in and everyone will hope he will sort out any problems he may have." Peter Hain, a former colleague at the Welsh Office, said: "We are all astounded and shocked."
Mr Davies has yet to decide whether to withdraw his candidacy for leadership of the Welsh Assembly, but Labour colleagues said they thought it was likely he would. Liam Fox, Tory spokesman on constitutional affairs, said he should not pursue his bid because the public "would find that inconsistent to an unacceptable degree".
Mr Davies was regarded as a mercurial figure, who was "gaffe prone" - he had to apologise in Opposition after criticising the Prince of Wales. Colleagues described him as a left-winger who never lost his rebellious streak.
Ann Clwyd, a Labour MP who has known him for 35 years, said: "We cut our political teeth together. I am really sorry. He delivered the `yes' vote for Wales."

12 Weeks of Christmas Treats-Better than Pumpkin Pie Squares
We continue with week seven of 12 Weeks of Christmas Treats hosted by Brenda at Meal Planning Magic. This is the beginning of the second half so we are on the downhill slide right on to the end.
I am continuing to post recipes made with Holiday Cookie Mix. Today's recipe is what my family calls "Better than Pumpkin Pie" squares. I have said before that I am not really into making pies so this has become our traditional Thanksgiving dessert. It has a crust, the pumpkin filling and a wonderful brown sugar/pecan topping and serves 12 to 15 so "fits the bill" well, I think. This can also be cut into bars and served as part of a cookie platter.
For those who might want to try this recipe, but don't want to bother making the cookie mix, I am including directions to make the bottom crust without the mix.
The original recipe came from Homemade Cookies by Farm Journal published in 1971. My copy of this cookbook is just about coming apart. It is interesting that the pumpkin filling is the same one that has been on the back of the Libby Pumpkin can forever. That is my favorite pumpkin filling recipe. I am not sure who got what from whom.
For the topping, I combine the brown sugar and pecans, cut the butter in small pieces and mix it all together with clean hands. I sprinkle it over the top of the filling and give myself permission to lick my fingers.
Better than Pumpkin Pie Squares
adapted from Homemade Cookies, Farm Journal, 1971
2 1/2 c. Holiday Cookie Mix
1/2 c. quick oats
1 c. flour
1/2 c. quick oats
1/2 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c. butter or regular margarine
1 (1 lb.) can pumpkin (2 c.)
1 (13 1/2 oz.) can evaporated milk
2 eggs
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. ginger
1/4 t. cloves
1/2 c. chopped, toasted pecans
1/2 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
2 T. butter
Combine cookie mix and quick oats and press into a foil-lined 9x13-inch baking pan. OR Combine flour, oats and brown sugar. Stir to mix well. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Press in a foil-lined 9x13-inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees 15 minutes. While crust is baking combine in a large mixing bowl the pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, salt and spices. Beat with a whisk until well blended. Pour mixture into hot crust and return to oven to bake 20 minutes. Meanwhile, combine pecans and brown sugar. Slice butter into small pieces and mix with pecans/sugar until well blended. Sprinkle the topping over the partially baked filling mixture and return to oven to bake 20 minutes more or until filling is set. (A toothpick inserted into filling will come out clean.) Cool in pan on a rack and cut into large squares to serve as a dessert or into bars to serve as part of a cookie platter. Makes 12 to 15 dessert servings or 24 to 32 bar cookies.

Armando Hinojosa
Armando Garcia Hinojosa (born 1944) is a Latino artist and educator from Laredo, Texas, who sculpted the massive Tejano Monument on the south lawn of the state capitol in Austin. After more than a decade of preparation, the 12-piece sculpture was unveiled in March 2012.[1]
The Tejano monument includes a Spanish explorer, a mustang-riding cowboy or vaquero, a mother and father with their newborn infant, a boy with a stubborn goat, a girl filling a water jug, and two longhorn cattle made of bronze. The statues are mounted on a granite base, which was quarried in Marble Falls, Texas. The significance of each character on the monument is described by a bronze plaque.[1]
In 2001, Hinojosa was chosen from among several Texas artists to create the monument.[2] He earlier sculpted the life-size "Among Friends There Are No Borders" statue at Laredo International Airport, which depicts a South Texas vaquero and a Mexican charro sharing a campfire.[1]
The pieces were cast at the Larry Stevens foundry in Bulverde, Texas. According to Stevens, ten steps are involved in the process: "The artist sculpts it in clay, then we make a mold and fill that with wax, then we cover it with slurry, then we burn out the wax and pour in the molten bronze. There are a lot more steps. It gets pretty complicated."[1]
The largest on any state capitol grounds, the Tejano Monument honors native-born Hispanics since 1519, when Spaniards mapped the Texas Gulf Coast. The Texas State Legislature approved the monument in 2009. The Texas Preservation Board accepted the design without dissent in 2010. The state provided $1.087 million of the $2 million cost of the monument. The remainder was raised privately, with major contributions from the International Bank of Commerce, American Electric Power, and American Telephone and Telegraph.[1]
Stevens estimates that the two longhorns weigh six to eight hundred pounds each. According to Stevens, "You can't learn this in art school. I learned it from a friend at a foundry in Fort Worth. It's kind of an apprenticeship. There's lots of trial and error, lots of looking, measuring, looking some more, welding, pounding. I've had to remelt a lot of pieces over my career. We make the sculptor look good, He's the artist and we're the artisans."[1]
Stevens also worked on Hinojosa's Juan Seguin monument in Seguin, Texas, and the Knute Rockne and Ara Parseghian statues on the Notre Dame University campus in South Bend, Indiana.[1] Hinojosa sculpted a life-sized replica of Admiral Chester Nimitz, a native Texan, which has also been placed at the San Antonio-based amusement park, Sea World. Hinojosa's Double Eagle, a depiction of the national bird of the United States, is almost 9 feet high with a 14-foot wingspan. It has been placed at another San Antonio amusement park, Six Flags, Fiesta Texas.[3]
Hinojosa's works appear in the collections of former U.S. President Richard M. Nixon and the late Texas Governors Allan Shivers, Dolph Briscoe, and William P. Clements, Jr. The legislature recognized Hinojosa in 1982-1983 as the "Official State Artist."[3]
Personal life
Hinojosa, who has worked with Stevens Foundry for several decades,[1] is a graduate of the former Texas A&I University, now Texas A&M University, Kingsville.[3] He is a faculty member and the dean of visual arts at the Vidal M. Trevino School of Communications and Fine Arts in downtown Laredo, named for a late educator and state representative. He is a direct descendant of Don Thomas Sanchez, who in 1755 founded Laredo. His deceased parents were the former Amalia Garcia and Geronimo Hinojosa, who was also a painter and sculptor.[4]
Hinojosa and his wife have three children, Dr. Armando Roberto Hinojosa (born 1969), an internist in Laredo; David Andrew Hinojosa, and Melissa Joy Hinojosa.[5]
"I always knew that my life would revolve around the creation and the appreciation of the arts," said Hinojosa.[4]
Armando Hinojosa Drive in south Laredo is named in his honor.

Extremely low output impedance

Input stages often have more influence on the "sound" of an amplifier than the output (current) driver. The input stage of the nCore is quite different (discrete instrumentaion amplifier circuit with discrete regulators as standard) than that employed by the ucD modules, perhaps the input stage accounts for a lot of the difference?

Maybe all these amps have feedback loops that works well for bass. Low intermodulation distortion is probably key to get authoritative bass reproduction. That said my vote usually goes to upstream components and the buffer stage with integrated PS regulation on the ncore probably has a lot to say too.

well the ucd2k have remote sensors that include even the cables in the feedback loop. i am not talking about authority. all the amps control the woofer without any booming. i am talking about speed. it`s like the woofers are moving faster especially at the mid bass. maybe 80-200hz |

Well the perception of "speed" -especially in the bass seldom has anything to do with "speed" in the physical sense as in "velocity" which generally is used to refer to the high frequency extension of a driver. From my experience (and I am not alone) perceived speed in bass is typically related to the 80-150Hz area which you also as say in this case, + the roll off downwards (which is very, if not the most important). Getting this right you can have "fast" or "speedy" bass from physically slow woofers. This is a great part of why old school woofers with small magnets and high Qt can generate "fast" bass in closed boxes. The role of amps is in theory to produce low o/p impedance to keep Qes of the driver low so that the speaker will have its intended low end roll off. That said, where nfb loops are used, they are the main reason for the low o/p impedance, but they are also largely responsible for controlling/producing distortion. When we are talking damping factors of 500+ my guess is that these distortion characteristics are the dominant reason for the perceived experience of the bass. DF 500+ is definitely beyond what cause "booming". Ncore has magnitudes lower distortion than any of the UCDs and I believe this has much greater importance (also in the bass) than the power specs unless you really do use peak currents that exceed the specs. The UCD2000 might have features to include remote sensors, and although I don´t really get that approach, I assume that they still must rely on the topology of the internal nfb loop which in the case of UCD now is from the dawn of times in terms of class D. The nfb loop on Ncore is quite an advancement on this, to say the least... Last edited by Juhleren; 30th August 2012 at 12:12 AM. |

we definitely say the same thing.
the reason i added the 80-200hz is to make it clear. i understand the part of distortion but not the roll off part. the speaker is same unless you mean the frequency response of the ncore is rolled off downwards. |

I imagine this can only be related to damping factor associated with the ultra low output impedance.
I, for one, think "speed"can be an appropriate term to describe bass quality - especially associated with settling behaviour of the entire system as a function of damping factor, motor and cone power to weight ratio, and resonant environment of driver, box and room. Most systems make square waves barely recognizable. |

What I did mean with the roll off part is the effect of the systems energy distribution across the frequency domain. Too much low down somewhat perceptually "slows" the sound of the system. This is typically perceived as a dynamic property, but is in fact often a voicing or frequency balance property of the system. - We are of course talking in room performance here - Amps generally don´t have much frequency variation compared to speakers, so if the ncore sounds different in the bass, it is most likely not because it rolls off or alters the frequency response. However, many amps do sound very different though their frequency responses are very alike. This implies that the perceived voicing of electronics like amps relates to other attributes such as their distortion behavior. Due to that Ncore reduce distortion compared to most amps, it is likely to assume that this is part of why it perceptually sounds different and maybe even sounds like it has tighter bottom end (normally associated with having tighter roll off/better damping). Voicing and perception of tonal balance seems to relate not only to measured frequency balance, but also heavily on distortion behavior. More distortion low down is probably perceived as having more output low down. |

New York Tamils hold sports festival for children[TamilNet, Monday, 31 July 2006, 00:50 GMT]The Arts and Cultural branch of the World Tamil Organization in New York held its Ninth annual children's sports festival at the Jamaica High School sports facilities in Jamaica New York Saturday starting from 10:00 a.m. More than 200 children from Staten Island, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx and New Jersey areas took part in the festival, organizers said. The sports festival commenced with the lighting of flame of sacrifice, and the hositing of US and Tamileelam National flags, and the flag of the Arts and Cultural Organization. Several sports events were held and participants and victors were awarded trophies at the conclusion of the event. The participants were drawn from the three different Sunday Tamil schools organized by volunteer parents in New Jersey, Staten Island and in New York. Diaspora parents have established a Tamil Education Board head quartered in Germany with members in other countries with significant Tamil population. This Board is responsible for drawing up curricula for teaching Tamil language and culture to diaspora children. "Tamil books for Kindergarten to Grade 9 have already been developed that satisfy specific educational needs of diaspora children. These were drafted with expert guidance from University Professors in Tamil Language from South India, Singapore and Sri Lanka," Mr Rajaratnam, a member of the Education Board from Canada told TamilNet. "Although developed outside Sri Lanka, the books and the school curriculam were reviewed by the Tamileelam Education Board in Kilinochchi in 2004 and were approved," Rajaratnam added. |

Dorian Q Fuller's curator insight,
February 12, 2014 12:45 PM
Having accepted hook line and sinker that bottlegourds had come to the Americas with Palaeoindians, and were thus a Pleistocene plant domestication, this paper forces me to reject that hypothesis. Gourds did drift across and get domesticated in parallel. Still there are gourds in Jomon Japan and Neolithic China that like represent human translocation from Africa in the Pleistocene. |

Geoarchaeological evidence suggests agricultural landuse from the later First Millennium BC. This is only slightly older than current archaeobotanical evidence from the region; so is this poijting to a quite late introduction of cultivation in the hills region of east Africa? If so, it casts further questions on the reported early banana from Cameroun.

I've tried the "No-poo" method, and I just don't have the persistence for it. I've also tried a homemade shampoo made from watered down castile soap and a splash of olive oil. This works kind of, but really tends to leave my hair feeling waxy. Does anybody have any recipes for a homemade shampoo?

Bumping up your post! Anyone have a recipe to share?
No recipe here :( I tried one similar to yours, no luck. Tried castile soap and acv rinse (technically a no poo method I guess) and no luck. Natural shampoo and conditioner is okay...just okay.
Why do you think no-poo doesn't work for some?
I tried it for a couple months, and have some lousy Christmas pictures to prove it. I would take a break from it when it still hadn't worked, and try again for a month or so. I think I tried 3 times. I've used baking soda with acv rinse, castile soap with acv rinse, my homemade "shampoo bar" soap recipe with acv rinse, and my homemade olive oil soap...no luck with anything.
I also tried using more and less apple cider vinegar in my rinse, I found that when I used less I was less greasy, but it still wouldn't work. And I would scrub good, rinse good, use acv, rinse good.
I have long, thick, wavy hair. I wouldn't call myself a greaseball, but I have to wear second day no-wash hair up or it's kinda icky looking.
Thanks for replying, CLplus1. I feel the same way you do! I enjoy making most of our products, but I just can't get the hair thing to work out! I have to wash my hair every day using natural shampoos/conditioners -- wouldn't it be lovely if I didn't because I found some perfect homemade shampoo/conditioner!? Wishing someone out there had the solution??? :D

I seem to be OK using Dr Bronners as a shampoo but I still need to use a natural conditioner and something very acidic in combination to avoid the greasy hair. I have been using Dr. Bronner's conditioner with some nature's gate conditioner. Using Dr. Bronner's conditioner or acv along made me greasy too. I came from using a gentle shampoo and a conditioner with no cones in it so I was expecting an easier transition but no luck.
Not a recipe, but I got this shampoo bar from the farmer's market a few weeks ago and I'm loving it so far! I wash my hair once or twice a week and haven't had it get extremely greasy...might be worth a shot :)

Intelligence Squared US: "Is the FDA Hazardous to Our Health?"
Intelligence Squared US: "Is the FDA Hazardous to Our Health?"
Fri, 09/06/2013 - 8:00pm
When it comes to public health, is it ever okay to sacrifice safety for speed? The Food and Drug Administration, the oldest comprehensive consumer protection agency in the U.S. federal government, is charged with protecting the public health. Under this mandate, it regulates drugs and medical devices for their safety and effectiveness. But is it a failing mandate? It's long been argued that the FDA's long and costly approval processes stifle innovation and keep life-changing treatments from the market. But the question remains: when it comes to public health, is it ever okay to sacrifice safety for speed? Intelligence Squared U.S.: Is the FDA Hazardous to Our Health? tackles this issue Friday, Septmeber 6, 2013 at 8 p.m. on WXXI World.

My connection isn't stable. I've seen my speeds go from 11.45mbps idle down to 4-6mbps with nothing running on it but a speed test. Doesn't make sense to me. Then to add insult to injury. I called AT&T two days ago, to make and appointment with one of their techs Byron. Who when he showed up never alerted me with a knock on my door or a phone call. He just hung a door ringer on my front door with his name on it an my order number. I've been up all morning since 8:00am. He showed up at at 11:00am and I was siting right here the whole time.
*The whole point in doing the tracert was to assist the provider with the information, as to work with the provider towards a resolution. Not for me to solve the problem by defining even what the problem is, if there is even a problem. There are the logs, i've done my part. That is all.

Okay, that there is a complaint: Your download speeds are not consistant.
Let's work with that (ignoring the probably irrelevant traceroutes and host names you've posted):
- Are you using a wired connection from the PC to the RG, or wireless?
- How did you test your download speeds?

I've had wired connections since DSL lines came out on all my computers, since the early 90's. Last year for my new pc rig. I stoped using a wired connection. Never had any issues with it this bad, until now. I normally use Charter cable. I've used AT&T an Chater in the past, just never with Uverse service, always had their old Dsl lines. I've had the same result with wired and wireless, so I've adapted my new rig into not supporting a NIC.
I use a dongle that can transfer up to 300mbps. It's been working fine since about last month with my current setup with uverse. I don't honestly get picky about latency, unless it makes the game unplayable. I understand it's the internet. There is going to be some lag.
Honestly, I think it's a combo of my connection idles down and the route I have to travel through to get to Diablo 3 servers have time outs, which cause a delay, if I'm correct in my assumption. From what I have read could be the case. I'm using speakeasy.net for the tests. Most the time I check it. I see 11.45mbps. But if I check it often enough. I will see 4-5mbps, like my connection is being idled down, for whatever reason. I have no bots, or viruses. I'm a tech savvy person. I have a custom pc rig and my hardware is all up to date.
Blizzard Entertainment says AT&T is at fault. AT&T doesn't have a dialog about any of these issues. Two of the logs I posted are from my connection. The servers in the listed format without logs. Are from other users that are having the same problems, that arn't AT&T customers. I'm and AT&T customer, so I would like to see a dialog on such issues. This has been going on since last year.
*Linksys AE1000
-Wireless-N Selectable Dual-Band (2.4 or 5 GHz)
-For USB enabled computers
-Includes extension cable and base ;D
What is the data transfer rate for the AM10 and AE1000?
The data transfer rate for the AM10 and AE100 may go as high as 300 Mbps. In some cases, it can go even higher provided that all conditions are ideal according to the standards set by the IEEE for 802.11n.
The Linksys AE1000 High Performance Wireless-N Adapter connects your Windows-based computer to your wireless network for Internet access. It supports Wi-Fi Protected Access2 (WPA2)
Standards IEEE 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11a Antennas 2 (internal) Security Features WEP, WPA, WPA2 Personal, WPA and WPA2 Enterprise Supported Operating Systems Windows 7, Vista (32-bit and 64-bit) and XP (SP3)
Of course Blizzard blames the ISP. Gets you off the phone. The ISP then blames Blizzard. Point the finger, pass the buck... lovely how corporate support works. It could be both, either or neither.
Even though the wireless adapter on your PC is wonderful, the wireless receiver in the RG can be, well, not so good. Or they both could be fine, but your nieghbor's wireless network (or baby monitor, or Microwave) could be interfering with your wireless. Wireless connections can suffer from interference, where good old twisted pair Ethernet rarely does.
Thus, it is good when having a performance problem to confirm that the issue is not with the wireless connection. And the easiest way to do that is to test it wired for a while and compare. Wireless also can introduce a bit more latency. If the problem goes away when wired, then you have a wireless issue to solve. If it doesn't, then you look closer at your connection to the ISP and/or the ISP's network.
The "*" you've pointed out in the traceroutes above only mean that AT&T's router didn't return an error on an error condition that traceroute exploits to do its mapping. That's all it means. ALL. No more than that. If nodes on the other side of those "*" consistantly respond, then the intervening nodes that display "*" are passing valid traffic just fine. Blizzard will not tell you that because it interferes with their get-you-off-the-phone strategy.
These two nodes that you listed as being problems, and I'm assuming Blizzard pointed a finger at:
These are part of the AT&T Enterprise Network, you know, the network that Blizzard pays for to connect them to the Internet. So, if there's a problem with them, Blizzard needs to address that problem with Blizzard directly and not involve their customers or point fingers.

I'm not even going to read your statements. They make zero sense anyways. Analyzing a Trace Route
If you notice any of the following problems in your trace route report, it may indicate an issue with your connection:
Time outs
* symbols
If the number value before the ms jumps from a low number to high number
If the numbers stay at high values.
I upgraded my service from a 12meg to a 15 meg connection. Same results. If I go with anything higher, same result. I already know. Look into these issues, in reguards to your DIABLO 3 Servers. We are geting high latency on high speed connections, locally. Thanks.

The operative word being "may." As in may, or may not. In this case, not. AT&T configures their routers near the home not to treat TTL expired errors on ICMP as an important thing to deal with. Thus you get a lot of "*" from them in traceroutes. This is normal. I remember a time when Charter dumped all ICMP packets; wouldn't forward, woudn't reply. The Blizzard Entertainment firewall does this (dumps all ICMP packets), but I didn't see you complain about that.
I'm not saying AT&T is right in doing this, I'm only saying it's what they do, because of it what you're seeing is normal and is not something you should note in trying to troubleshoot a problem, because how routers deal with ICMP packets with an expired-TTL doesn't say anything about how they deal with packets containing real data (well, nothing negative at least). Focusing on this aspect will get you exactly nowhere.

Fireman's Hall
The history of firefighting in an old firehouse
The Experience
Nestled in the narrow streets of Philadelphia's historic district, Fireman's Hall is dedicated to the art and science of firefighting through the last three centuries. Displays of firefighting equipment illustrate how firemen control blazes; mock-ups of recreation areas, dressing rooms and a chief's room show how firefighters have passed the hours between fighting blazes.
You can see all sorts of badges, helmets, parade hats, and fire marks, which people affixed to their homes to indicate which insurance company was protecting them. The centerpieces are surely the 10 antique fire trucks scattered throughout the museum, including early hand- and horse-drawn engines. The firefighter-docents keep these machines spotless and shiny, creating an almost romantic view of the dangerous world of firefighting.
Fireman's Hall is located on the site of Engine Company Number Eight, a descendant of the Union Fire Company, which was founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1736. The museum is operated by the Philadelphia Fire Department, whose members serve as docents and offer warm hospitality and enthusiastic explanations of the memorabilia housed there.
Other Information
Open Tue – Sat
Insider Tip
See the exhibit on Philadelphia's own "Great Fire," when 52 buildings were destroyed on Oct. 4-5, 1839.
Great Kids' stuff

Security Risks in Social Media
Recently I ran across a rather humorous video on The Onion. Now while this video is obviously fictitious it does make some really interesting points. People willingly put so much personal information on the sites like Facebook that it makes it easy to find out all sorts of things about them. Where they live, family members, email addresses, phone numbers, employers, where they went to school, and birthdate. All that and we haven't even looked at any post and updates the user makes. It is no wonder identity theft is becoming such a problem today.
Also, think about this; I have several Facebook friends that regularly tell people when they are going to be out of town. While this may seem harmless enough on the surface someone with a nefarious nature could use this information to their detriment. Instead of staking out homes looking for patterns or waiting for people to leave home all a burglar needs to do is monitor Facebook.
Now, I am not saying to stop using Facebook or other social media outlets. After all I am on Facebook. But I would caution you to be mindful of what information you put out there. Back in November I wrote an article about the Security Risks for Free Wireless Networks and in that article I linked to an Online services security report card. As you can see from the image below:
Most social media sites don't score to well. The truth is that it is relatively easy for hackers to gain access to your profile. I am sure we all know someone who has had a social media account hacked at one point or another. The point of all this is to make you aware of the risks. Knowing the risk is the first step in protecting yourself. Below are a few helpful tips you can use to help protect your data:
- Keep you virus database up to date
- Be mindful of the people accept friend requests from (make sure you really know them)
- Make sure you are using a firewall
- And perhaps most importantly be mindful of what information you are posting
Remember that there will always be risks but we can minimize them with just a little knowledge and effort.

I like what you guys are up also. Such smart work and reporting! Carry on the excellent works guys I've incorporated you guys to my blogroll. I think it will improve the value of my website 🙂
April 13, 2011 12:31 pm
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
April 14, 2011 9:15 am
This weblog seems to recieve a good ammount of visitors. How do you get traffic to it? It gives a nice individual twist on things. I guess having something authentic or substantial to talk about is the most important thing.

Ways of Working
In thinking about the approaches to shooting that the article describes I'm somewhere in the middle between shooting hundreds of photos and editing out all but what he calls "happy accidents" or carefully considering each shot. In my opinion those who carefully consider each shot before tripping the shutter miss a lot of opportunities by pondering too long unless they are shooting in a studio and controlling every detail. OTOH shooting like crazy and trusting that luck will yield something worthwhile is not creativity (IMO) any more than winning the occasional $10-20 LOTTO prize is wise investing. I would add that the jackpots are about as frequent in either.
I began my life in photography as a photojournalist. I was taught to shoot the first view that grabbed me and then 'explore' the subject for other ways of seeing it. It is a strategy that I use to this day. If in doubt, I will take the photo and decide later whether it is good but the best shots usually come from 'communing' with the subject.
Today's photo is part of a series of photos of river foam. The foam forms naturally, often in eddys below waterfalls or rapids. I like capturing the patterns. It is an exercise much like the childhood pastime of finding shapes in the clouds.

Amanuensis is a person employed to write what another
dictates or to copy what
been written by another. Amanuensis Monday is a daily blogging theme from
Geneabloggers which encourages the family historian to transcribe family
letters, journals, audiotapes, and other historical artifacts. Not only do the
documents contain genealogical information, the words breathe life into kin –
some we never met – others we see a time in their life before we knew them.
This letter was written to my great grandmother, N Regina
Gruissy while she was away from Ohio, visiting her sister in Michigan. It was
addressed to RFD #2, St. John's, Clinton Co., MI. Her friend, Bessie Kaufman,
used a two cent stamp to send the letter to Regina.
It is a delightful letter from one young woman to another, talking about singing, sewing & young men.
Sept 25 – 1901
Doylestown O.
Miss Regina,
Dear friend it is with pleasure to sit down and write to you. I
received your letter a short time ago and was very glad to learn that you were
among the living yet. I will forgive you for not writing because you ask me to
you know. Oh gee I wish you were out here. I am having lots of fun now. I am
not working just now. I quit my place last week. I am staying at my cousins in
Doylestown but expect to go home Sat eve and stay a week or so. I wish you
would be at home then we would go to No 10 Singing again. Bertha is at home
this week getting some sewing done. I hope you are enjoying your self out
there. I had it in my head of going to Iowa this winter but gave it up on
account of a certain person that objects.
Well as I am getting tired & sleepy and the rest are all
asleep I must close with a kind Good Night. From Your Ever Faithful friend Miss
Bessie Kauffman, Doylestown. Ans Soon
when it rains
Sometimes thunders
boys are all as pretty & sporty as ever, ha. ha. ha.

Macalester Republican vies for Paymar's seat, takes on Highland Park DFL
- 18 July //
- Posted in City Hall Scoop //

- Comments Off on Macalester Republican vies for Paymar's seat, takes on Highland Park DFL
Macalester College, the 2011 "most liberal college in America," keeps generating Republican candidates for elected office.
First came undergraduate Andrew Ojeda in 2012.
Now, according to a staff report in the Pioneer Press, it looks like another Macalester student is aiming for a Statehouse seat under the GOP banner.
Actually, Daniel Surman's LinkedIn profile indicates he attended Macalester from 2010 to 2014, so please call him a Mac graduate. He's hoping to fill the open seat that has been held by state Rep. Michael Paymar, a DFLer, since 1996.
Paymar, whose DFL-leaning district includes Highland Park and part of Mac-Groveland and West 7th Street, has declined to run for a 10th term.
Surman will have to compete with Ramsey County prosecutor Dave Pinto, who received the DFL endorsement for the House District 64B seat in March.
Surman, it appears, has a keen eye for politics, experience in fundraising and follows House races quite closely in his blog.
Among his varied political credentials, Surman managed the campaign of fellow student Ojeda, Republican nominee for neighboring House District 64A, in 2012.
Ojeda's secret weapon — the almost-Republican territory constituting Ward 4, Precinct 6, arguably the most GOP-leaning precinct in the city — wasn't enough to boost him to victory. Ojeda lost to state Rep. Erin Murphy, who has held the seat since 2007, with vote totals of 79 pct – 21 pct.
Ojeda did capture 48 percent of the vote in Ward 4, Precinct 6, which maintained a polling location at the University of St. Thomas' Opus College of Business.
In 64B, "radical pro-choice lesbian feminist" Zaiger defends her "C" rating from liberal women's PAC
If the six candidates for state Rep. Michael Paymar's seat (which represents Highland Park and the city's southwest corners) seem to share identical political leanings on paper, here's one who stands out with a "C."
The political action committee of the Minnesota chapter of the National Organization for Women has given an "A" rating to all six of the candidates for House District 64B, except one.
Gloria Zaiger said she was surprised to be the only candidate to receive a "C" rating from the liberal PAC. An animal rights activist and self-described "radical, pro-choice, lesbian feminist," Zaiger said her political leanings line up heavily with that of the Minnesota NOW PAC.
Nevertheless, she believes she knows where NOW found her wanting. Asked on an endorsement questionnaire whether she believed that federal welfare benefits should be extended longer than the current five-year limit, she said no. She also indicated that she did not support eliminating existing welfare work requirements.
Zaiger recently released a written statement indicating she would prefer instead that more funds be put toward training programs, childcare, public transit and reduced college costs.
"My father had an 8th grade education and supported his 8 kids by driving a taxi. We didn't have much money before he died, and things were even worse after," Zaiger wrote. "I know, from eating oatmeal for dinner, shopping for school clothes at rummage sales and watching my mom worry about bills every single day, I know what is at stake. I know that people want and need to be independent. We need to provide them the means to achieve that, and to achieve that in a reasonable amount of time."
The House district spans Macalester-Groveland, Highland Park and the West Seventh Street neighborhoods. An endorsing convention will be held at 11 a.m. March 23 at St. Paul Central High School on Lexington Parkway.

Sparklepire Beauty Fun Fun (kill me.)
I don't recall exactly where I first laid eyes on the Twilight/New Moon themed beauty products which I am about to discuss, but I can tell you that my first reaction was to laugh. Hard.
The Twilight phenomenon is a fairly polarizing one – people tend to either dislike it intensely or LOVE it with the heat of a thousand suns - or at least the blinding fury of one wet cat. I actually fall somewhere in the (caustic) middle, last summer I read the books swiftly and – in spite of their many flaws, enjoyed them – though they did get progressively worse as I soldiered on through the series. If there is a silver lining to be found in the time I invested in reading Stephanie Meyers YA vampire series, the Twilight juggernaut led me to Cleolinda Jones' delightful website which wittily recaps the books (and yielded an incalculable amount of joy for me – also, the content on her site is infinitely better written than any of the actual Twilight offerings to date.)
I eagerly anticipated the movie adaptation of Twilight and found myself sufficiently amused during most of it – allbeit probably not as the film-makers intended for me to be. Every time a member of the vampiric Cullen clan appeared on screen I involuntarily cackled, their general appearance was in such stark contrast to the impossibly beautiful creatures described in Stephanie Meyer's series. Mind, I am not slagging off the physical attractiveness of the cast, by all means no – but rather the way in which they were made-up to represent the comely vampire family. Utilizing a thick, white pancake foundation to simulate an un-dead pallor, blood-red lip stain and SPARKLE (effing) EFFECTS, the vampires looked like parodies of themselves. Initially I attributed the unfortunate looking make-up to the relatively low-budget of the first film, but then the very same cosmetic effects appeared in New Moon – a film with a greater budget and one in which the Cullen's appearances were inexplicably even more comical.
Even so, it should come as no surprise that several cosmetic companies are hoping to capitalize on the popularity of the beloved series by offering Twilight themed beauty products, because of course they are. Now there is this and this available to make-up/vampire enthusiasts, apparently to aid in helping the public look a little bit more like this – which is to say, HILARIOUS. And it doesn't end there friends. Lo, behold: a quick google search yielded this treasure trove of slap all of which combined can enhance your visage - apparently designed to create the captivating illusion that you look like, say, this.
I have a headache now. I need to be held. I want a pony. May the Sweet Baby Jesus smite me down should I ever find myself shilling out good money on body sparkles or tubes of lip stain designed to make me look like I have been feasting on the blood of mountain lions*.
[Also, let it be noted that in my search for photographic evidence of the actors bedecked in appauling-looking make-up, I was unable to find any that sufficiently represented their appearances in the film. They looked SO MUCH WORSE in the movie, you guys....trust. Mrs. Frothy can totally back me up.]
*Vegetarian vampire joke. (I hate myself for knowing that.) I am going to go and have a lie down.

That hip flare on the oxfords
How do either of those compare to Uniqlo? I just ordered a medium smoke ocbd and I have a small slim fit ocbd from Uniqlo that I would prefer be a touch bigger.
WTF happened to the nice green color sweater?
Ordered two ox's, smoke and white, I really don't need another light blue. It's fall/winter, a nice navy would have been much better imo.
I also ordered two sweaters, the grey heather and the navy, really wish they did that nice heather green I was looking forward to something a little different.
They came out 8 hours ago I can assure you nobody has them yet.

Fever, Hot Flushes & Co.
Do you sweat a lot? Do you sweat too much?
Is it a general weakness, which makes me sweat at first and then makes me feel cold? Am I overweight so that too much heat is retained and the temperature cannot be balanced as precisely and easily by the body? Do I have an infection and the body fights it with fever? Am I in menopause, which may cause a hormonal adjustment and change in my internal balance?
Our Children - Our Future
Do you love children? Maybe you have children? No, it is not necessary to have children of your own in order to love them and give them joy. That is possible with every child in the world! So many children in the world have a difficult time and need our support. But what can we do?
Are your eyes shining like stars?
If you look at another person's eyes and whether it is with or without words, it is like a welcoming of that persons soul. Regardless of whether you know that person or not, whether you speak his language or not, whether you embrace him or not - our eyes are the mirror of our soul and a single glance may reveal more than a thousand words.
Warm Regards to Your Nose
If one is healthy and without pain, it is easy to forget the body – still, we may have other problems. And only when we feel some pinching somewhere, we realize how important the good functioning of each body part is. Do you have a cold? Or breathing problems? Maybe asthma? Then you will know what I am talking about.

Which States Gaining & Losing The Most Vehicles?
Swapalease.com Vehicle Relocation Trends Based On Customer Patterns
Nov 08, 2012, 08:00 ET from Swapalease.com
CINCINNATI, Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Online automotive marketplaces have altered the geographic makeup of vehicle inventory from state to state. With people changing vehicles with each other, which states are adding cars and losing them? According to data from Swapalease.com, patterns have begun to emerge in certain states and regions.
The top state that has more cars entering is Michigan, with 287.5% more cars entering the state as opposed to leaving. According to Swapalease.com customer transfer data, Michigan is tops for cars being imported from nearby states and others as far as California and Florida. New Jersey is second highest, with 122.4% more cars entering compared with cars leaving the state, and New York is third at 82.1% more entering.
Scot Hall, Executive Vice President of Swapalease.com, commented, "The import numbers for New Jersey and New York could grow significantly in the near term, as vehicle inventory from other regions are brought in to satisfy replacement demand from vehicles destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. Other states high on the list such as Michigan speak to the extremely low in-state inventory levels in the marketplace."
Illinois leads all states seeing vehicles exit the state, with 181.3% more vehicles departing compared with entering the state. States like Illinois and Maryland (150% more departures and second on list) simply have a surplus of inventory in the marketplace, while other exit-heavy states like Texas (147% more departures) and Florida (24.1%) have vehicles in good condition from warm weather sought after by drivers in other states.

President Boris Yeltsin gave an ominous signal yesterday that, with the operation to clear Pervomayskoye of Chechen rebels more or less over, Russia would now step up the war in Chechnya itself with a direct attack on the rebel leader Dzhokhar Dudayev.
"We taught a good lesson to Dudayev," the President said, briefing reporters on the four-day battle on the Dagestan border. "Now we have to deal a blow to Dudayev's strongholds where there is no civilian population in order to put an end to terrorism on Russian soil."
On the ferry seizure by pro-Chechen gunmen in Turkey, he added: "Terrorism has spread to Turkey, which means one can wait no longer. This is already international terrorism."
Evidently Mr Yeltsin has it in mind to strike at the villages in the mountains of southern Chechnya where the Muslim militants have been based since being pushed out of their capital, Grozny, last year. From here, they carried out a terrorist raid on the southern Russian town of Budyennovsk last June as well as the latest attack, which began in the Dagestani town of Kizlyar last week and ended with 100 hostages being dragged to Pervomayskoye.
It is perhaps too early to draw conclusions as to how Russians will now view their President.
He is more hawkish, not only in response to the hostage crisis but also as a result of the victory of his Communist and nationalist opponents in December's elections. When he launched the assault on Pervomayskoye, a poll showed Muscovites almost equally divided on the wisdom of being tougher with the Chechens.
The new parliament, which on Wednesday elected the Communist Gennady Seleznyov as Speaker, is to spare the government a vote of no-confidence, restricting itself to issuing a statement urging an "adequate response" to the Chechen rebellion.

Think Ireland is all about the Guinness, Corned Beef & Potatoes? How about Color Photography, Seismology and Submarines?
During the First World War, Dublin-raised Winston Churchill, then Home Secretary of Great Britain, commissioned the design of a vehicle "capable of resisting bullets and shrapnel, crossing trenches, flattening barbed wire, and negotiating the mud of no-man's land."
That design become the precursor to the modern tank.
Another Irishman, Louis Brennan, came up with the design for the first guided missile system for coastal defense (essentially a steerable torpedo), the first functional helicopter, monorail trains and also the ejector seat. Another Irishman and engineer, James Martin, co-founded the Martin-Baker company, which to his very day produces ejector seats for military aircraft.
We probably also shouldn't forget Henry Ford, who was the American-born son of an Irishman, and invented the means of mass-producing automobiles, as well as pretty much everything else in the modern industrial age that uses an assembly line.
