Online baseball betting expectations are low for the Seattle Mariners as they crashed and burned last year as a major baseball betting online overlay that was proven to be grossly overrated.
The Oakland Athletics will host the Seattle Mariners on Friday night with a starting time of 10:05 PM ET. Sports Gambling will have side and total odds on this American League West Division matchup so be sure and have your account open and ready for action today.
Seattle took a major step back last year as they slipped from 85 wins in 2009 to just 61 in 2010. The Mariners are rebuilding this year after that catastrophe and may offer enhanced betting value since they will be one of the least appealing teams on the board. Seattle should be an improved betting baseball commodity but nowhere near contender status.
Oakland was a baseball wagering surprise last year for all of the right reasons as they finished with a record of 81-81to snap a streak of 3 consecutive losing seasons. The Athletics are improving based upon one of the best young pitching staffs in the game.
The problem for Oakland last year was their punchless offense that ranked 11th in the American League for runs scored. Hideki Matsui arrived through free agency in the off season to bolster the lineup for this year as the designated hitter.
Last year for the Dodgers Matsui hit .274 with 21home runs. Trevor Cahill is coming off a phenomenal season as the top starter in the rotation as he went 18-8 with a 2.97 earned run average.
Oakland has dominated Seattle at home with 9 payouts in their last 11 games at the Oakland Coliseum. The last 7 games between the Mariners and A's in Oakland have failed to stay under the total. Oakland has gotten the money in 13 of their last 18 games overall against the Mariners with just 1 of the last 7 games between the teams going under the total.
Oakland was a +3000 selection at Sports-Gambling to win the World Series while Seattle was a +10000 online baseball betting long shot to win the Fall Classic this year.

KVA was commissioned to develop a concept design for an Eco-Farm. The building plot is situated on a very pretty location along river De Vecht outside of Amsterdam in Breukelen. Due to the condition of the existing buildings currently standing on the plot, it is proposed that they will be demolished except for the historic façade and the two monumental bunkers.
Using historical references, and considering the cyclical nature of farming and production, a courtyard typology was determined to be the best solution for the site. The form itself is very strong and the buildings are organized in a clear and compact way, which guarantees a high functionality for farming. Since everything that will be produced on the land will be sold in the shop, the eco-farm should sell an experience to the customer. The courtyard allows for that, it can become a unique intimate outdoor space providing all kinds of activities. Cuts in the buildings were then created to form a connection between courtyard, the architecture, the historic bunkers and the landscape.
The program provides a number of opportunities and challenges regarding privacy, building typology, and the scale of the site. Buildings that have a more public nature have been proposed as glass and timber structures, making them transparent and inviting for the public. The more private functions, such as the slaughterhouse, have been proposed to be brick. Each function determines the typology of the building, though through common materials, similar heights, and roof direction, the buildings are united and form a courtyard that provides functional outdoor spaces and program. In that sense, the architectural concepts of the individual buildings reinforce the ideas behind the urban plan.

Gianluigi Buffon Believes Leonardo Bonucci is Regretting His Move to AC Milan
Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has admitted that his former teammate Leonardo Bonucci could yet be beginning to regret his move from Juventus to AC Milan. Bonucci left Juventus in the summer in a shock €42m transfer to rivals AC Milan. However, the center back's search for another challenge has been just that, challenging.
Milan currently resides in 11th position in the Serie A, 14 points adrift from the top four. This position is not one that the 30-year-old will be accustomed to, after enjoying a fruitful career at Juventus, winning six successive Serie A titles and appearing in two Champions League finals.
Buffon still keeps in contact with Bonucci, and according to the goalkeeper, he may be regretting his move to Milan. Buffon told La Gazzetta dello Sport (via ESPN): ''The environment at Juve was perfect for him and I was sorry to see him leave because it seemed like it was an impulsive decision, driven by pride. I've told him this when we chat from time to time and he told me that it was not impulsive but rather a pondered decision.
''Leo lives for challenges and he needed to reignite that fire with a firm, unpopular decision. I respect it, but I was sorry and I think that he's also very sorry about it now.''
Buffon, now 39-years-old, knows too well the feeling of regret. The soon-to-be Juventus legend had to battle with the same regretful feeling when deciding to retire from international football and now faces the same inner battle over whether to retire from football completely.
Buffon added: ''No footballer wants to retire, but no, I'm happy because I've reached an important stage in my life and I'm serene.
''Arriving at such a crucial junction with this inner harmony is all that matters and it's truly amazing.''

Hello WOB. Thanks a million for considering my humble blogging deserving of this. It will go straight to my head and I'll be an unbearable diva for the next week at least! Mwah, mwah.ReplyDelete
Cool answers there. Jessica Rabbit and Matt Damon, you get bonus points for and I love your best gift as a child story! xReplyDelete
First time anyone ever tagged me / mentioned me in their post. I shall have to drink to your health. Thank you very much.
Now I've of course gone all self-conscious about answering the questions and who to tag...
Really this has made my day!
Oh and mmm Andrew Lincoln. Nice quirky choice!ReplyDelete
Hot cross mum - you are very welcome, your blogging's ace!! Hope your heads not too big now though hehe x x xReplyDelete
Tara - Thanks, i'm pretty sure if i could just look like Jessica rabbit for one day i could get Matt Damon to marry me :) x x
Mwa -I'm so pleased your happy and you are very deserving, glad you know who i'm talking about too as my mates haven't got a clue who i'm gushing over when i mention Andrew Lincoln. mmmmmmmmmmmm he's delicious...hope my hubby doesn't read that though ha x x
Oh gosh, I do sympathise with the panic attack. I suffered from hyperventilation syndrome when my tartlets were very small - I had four in four years, it was tough. So many little people needing mum 24/7 - I even called out the doctor once, I was so convinced I'd had a minor heart attack during the children's bath timeReplyDelete
Aw shucks! I don't know what to say!! Thanks so much for tagging me. I promise to get round to it ...soon...honest!ReplyDelete
Meanwhile, hope you're OK after that panic attack. I have them periodically and the first time was so frightening. I couldn't breathe and really thought my heart was going to burst out through my neck. When I was told it was "just" a panic attack, I didn't believe it. I still don't know what the cure is or how to spot one coming which kind of makes it still frightening but at least I know what it is now when it happens. Take care of yourself. The answer, of course, lies within x
Hi WoB. Just realised I've done this one today on 'Bringing up Charlie'. I don't check the 'Dotterel' blog as often as I should so, sorry. Will the answers I gave Rebel Mother do?ReplyDelete
Thanks for doing the tag! Panic attacks are awful. I remember having a really bad one once and like The Pineapple Tart I felt like I was having a heart attack. Hope they settle down for you xxReplyDelete
Oh and I've gone off my wedding dress too!!

Woodall Amendments Save $5.1 Million in Taxpayer Money
Washington, DC – On Monday evening, the House passed two amendments to the Energy and Water Appropriations Bill that were written and introduced by Congressman Rob Woodall (R-GA). Under a new policy implemented by House Republicans, all money saved from programs cut in appropriations bills can be deposited in a Spending Reduction Account, so that money cut from programs will not be spent on any other projects.
Woodall's first amendment cuts $4.9 million from FY 2012 spending by eliminating a climate change study carried about by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
"This amendment isn't about whether you believe that the earth's climate is warming, cooling, or not changing at all—it's about ensuring the efficient allocation of taxpayer resources," Woodall said.
He continued, "The Army Corps of Engineers is a construction agency—not a scientific research agency. Its mission does not include climate change."
Woodall's second amendment eliminated $200,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy for a program to encourage students [in grades 3-8], teachers, and families to learn more about energy consumption and efficiency.
"This program is a new initiative launched during a time when America is not in any position to pay for existing programs, let alone new ones. Parents and teachers should teach children how to turn off a light switch, but we shouldn't need a new federal program to make it happen," Woodall said.
The House will vote on the final version of the Energy and Water Appropriations Bill later this week.
"In the context of the multi trillion-dollar debt that our nation owes, $5.1 million is a drop in the bucket," Woodall said. "However, one small amendment at the time, my colleagues and I are changing the culture of excessive spending of the past, and working to get our financial house back in order."
As testimony to how this new House is changing Washington, the final Energy and Water Appropriations Bill for FY 2012 is expected to lower spending to 2006 levels.

39: It Takes a Village
39: It Takes a Village
From Chicken Soup for the Soul: What I Learned from the Dog
We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men.
~Herman Melville
When we drove our son to college in Virginia, we left our dog Dillon at a horse farm in Monroe, Connecticut, about fifty miles away from our place in Old Greenwich. She'd stayed at the farm before and it was doggie heaven—no leashes, no crates, just the freedom to roam and play. Her second morning there, however, Dillon pursued some critter into the woods and wound up in unfamiliar surroundings a very long way from home.
"Dogs are very here and now," says Dr. Risë VanFleet a Pennsylvania-based child psychologist with a background in canine behavior. When a dog leaves its home something else has caught its attention. "What led the dog astray is a doggie kind of thing."
The mommy kind of thing, of course, was to try and figure out how to get her back from four hundred miles away.
From a computer center in Front Royal, Virginia, I put together a flyer I could e-mail to the police and animal control officers, as well as family and friends back home. We asked everyone to forward the e-mail, hoping to generate interest beyond our own circle and increase the number of people on the lookout for our lost dog, a variation on the African adage that "It takes a village."
Without realizing it, we'd stumbled on the method most likely to be successful, according to Dr. Linda Lord, a professor at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine who studies how people recover lost pets. "Lost dog signs were associated with recovery but they seemed to be more effective seven days or more after the animal went missing," she said.
She was right. It was three days before we had our first sighting and the news was not good. A Shelton veterinarian had seen a Springer Spaniel get hit by two cars on a busy state road and then miraculously leap up and run into the woods.
We were heartened, however, that the calls continued. Dillon, apparently uninjured, was seen by a Shelton firefighter, a tree warden, a grandmother and some teenagers, but no one could get near her, and every call came days too late.
We returned to Connecticut and went straight to Shelton. Armed with a map of the area, we marked each spot where Dillon had been seen. A route seemed to be forming though she was not on a course that would have taken her home. Dr. Nicholas Dodman, a professor of animal behavior and the author of The Well Adjusted Dog, explains dogs aren't really like the Collie that crosses Great Britain to find his family in the 1943 movie, Lassie Come Home.
"While dogs have extraordinary terrain observation skills and an ability to map in their heads, a dog dropped a long distance from its home is not likely to find its way back."
When the map suggested Dillon was headed south, I drove to Stratford to post flyers and hopefully shorten the lag between when people saw her and learned she was being sought.
The plan worked. My search was about to end with a stunning swiftness. Shopping at a store one half mile from her home, Peggy Gottfried saw the flyer. Dillon had been in her Stratford neighborhood that very morning. In fifteen minutes I was on her street where, across a wide expanse of yard, I saw Dillon.
I'd been warned a lost dog sometimes goes into "survival mode" failing to recognize its owner.
"Try to look at it from the dog's point of view," Dr. VanFleet said. "The dog is still out of its element and still trying to figure out what's what, is the danger over?"
Dillon did not come to me right away so I sat down on the sidewalk and waited. Finally she got curious. She took a few hesitant steps and stopped, a few more and stopped again. Then her expression changed. She started to run with a slow motion, forward momentum that accentuated every flap of the ear and lolling of the tongue. Into my lap she flung herself, a whining, panting, writhing bundle of foul-smelling, burr-encrusted fur. I cried noisily as her ragged claws scratched my legs and her drool dribbled down my neck. Never have I wished so hard that an animal could talk.
While I can only imagine what our pampered house pet must have experienced during her two weeks in the wild, it's no mystery according to Dr. Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals. "Dogs have a really strong sense of place and what happens to dogs is that they feel lost just like you and I would."
In her analysis of how people find their lost pets, Dr. Lord noted, "Nothing takes the place of having a visual ID tag. A microchip is a good backup system." No doubt she is correct. But in our case, no one could get near our dog, let alone read her collar.
Our challenge was mobilizing an army of eyes by sending out e-mails, posting signs and even plastering Dillon's photo and our phone number on the family minivan. Dillon's remarkable story has taught me that when it comes to happy endings, the tools can be both low and high tech, but ultimately, it takes a village.

Welcome to my new blogging site, I'll be talking a bit about everything that inspires me and my designs as well as designers I like and I might add in some tech stuff over time, first things first, a little about me.
Who are you and why should I read your blog?
Im a fourth and final year design student…. Let me clarify, I spent two years at Grimsby University studying BA Hons Creative and Interactive Design (CID), I have a little family and we decided to move to Nottingham. I transferred to Nottingham Trent University and they requested that I do their second year before going into the third year with them. So basically I have a diploma in multidisciplinary design and now I'm studying visual communication, it's basically Graphic Design as the standard.
I will be trying to document my work as well as things I just love through this blog, so it'll be very design based with some other stuff (we all love stuff) thrown in for good measure. If you feel like you like the blog please let me know as well as others and even if you hate it please comment and let me know too as any feedback is good feedback.

Fans of the elliptical love (well, at least, like) the machine for it's low-impact, steady-state workouts. Regular cardio exercise is essential for good health; in fact, everyone should aim to get 150 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio a week, according to the American Heart Association.
But cardio exercise, like hopping on the elliptical, can help promote weight loss, too. If you're looking to lose 20 pounds, you already know regular sweat sessions are going to be crucial to help you progress toward your goal. With some tweaks to your favorite elliptical workouts, you can easily craft a high-intensity routine to increase your calorie expenditure and help you get where you want to be.
Creating an Elliptical Workout for Weight Loss
If weight loss is your goal, you need to create a sustainable calorie deficit using both diet and exercise. Finding the best calorie deficit for your body takes a little trial and error, but you can begin by finding your maintenance calorie level. Either track your calorie intake for several days or use an online maintenance calculator.
From there, create a safe calorie deficit between 500 and 1,000 calories per day, recommends the Mayo Clinic. A deficit is created when you burn more calories than you consume. Remember, the goal is to create a sustainable plan, so if cutting 500 calories leaves you feeling hungry, only cut 200. It's important to consider what's best for your body.
The calories you burn during exercise also contribute to your weight loss. Cue, the elliptical: In general, spending 30 minutes on the elliptical machine will burn about 335 calories, according to Harvard Health Publishing.
Weight loss isn't an overnight process, especially if you want to keep the weight off in the long term. If you maintain a sustainable 500- to 1,000-calorie deficit, you can expect to drop around 1 to 2 pounds per week. While your elliptical workout will definitely help you reach your goal, it'll be a lot harder without also maintaining a healthy diet.
Maximizing Elliptical Benefits With HIIT
While the elliptical trainer can be a great weight-loss tool, it can also get a little monotonous over time. Luckily, you can incorporate intervals into your workout, which will not only increase calorie burn and speed up weight loss, but also cut down on the total time you spend on the machine.
High-intensity interval training or HIIT workouts involve alternating between set intervals of high-intensity work, followed by low-intensity recovery, according to the Mayo Clinic. Try altering the pace or resistance of the elliptical to a hard-to-sustain level, depending on your current fitness level. You should feel too breathless to speak in full sentences during your high-intensity interval, according to Harvard Health Publishing. Your recovery periods should feel comfortable and conversational.
Once you've settled on the pace and resistance needed for your high- and low-intensity periods, begin to alternate between the two. For example, you might time your intense interval for one minute and rest for two. Or, if you're new to exercise, your recovery interval might be three minutes. The key to elliptical weight loss is challenging yourself while keeping your intervals consistent.

Please spread the Word and continue the prayers. Thank you from our whole family.
It is hard to believe we have reached the 4+ year mark. How can anyone just fall off the face of the earth in this technological society? August 29th 2015 was the last time I saw my son, Bear Diaz, he had just turned 20 years old, only 10 days before. I dropped him off at his home in El Cajon, CA at 10:30 pm. He texted me at 11:19 pm and was never heard from again. Bear was a Type 1 Diabetic, his health was poor, he only weighed 110 pounds. At the time of his disappearance, Bear was unable to walk or drive due to wounds on his feet from neuropathy. Someone took Bear from his home. I believe it was a horrific scene. And quite honestly feel we were not taken seriously by local officials early on… But, I will not go on about that at this time.
Bear was a young man with a very big heart, he opened his door to anyone he thought he could help. Eventually the people in and out of his home were beyond his control. Whoever took Bear that night, knew the house, knew our routine, and waited for me to leave. The timeline is only 1-1/2 hours that is unaccounted for. Bears comforter and sheets, as well as his 55" TV, crutches and backpack are all that were missing. Bear did not leave willingly, he was taken. We will continue to search; we will not stop till he is found.
If you have any information, please contact Crime Stoppers with the link on this page. It is anonymous, toll free and there is a reward offered.
Please continue to spread the word,
and pray that the truth is revealed...

Lately I have been diving deeper into the Sci-fi genre of reverse harem. I am one of the admins of an AMAZING facebook group called Reverse Harem Fantasy & Sci-fi Readers & Authors so it only makes sense that I would read more sci-fi. I recently read a book that I really enjoyed and totally out of my reading norm. Let's get into it ❤
Find it here on Amazon/Kindle Unlimited!
We have our female main character, Calpurnia, a pilot that is used to being alone. She likes it that way. If she spends her time alone then no one can hurt her. If she doesn't let anyone close, they can't break her heart. She has her ship, the Firebrand, and that's all she needs thank you very much. It's been 3 years since she found herself involved with someone else. Orion. When he left Calpurnia shut down. No boyfriend, no sister, no family.
I really enjoyed Cali as a character. She is a badass that doesn't need anyone to make her happy. I found myself really comparing her to Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica a lot. Loneliness has become her companion and she keeps up a tough guard to keep her safe. Her heart's safety ends when she finds a broken down ship, a ship that contains the love of her life. Orion. After a really bloody battle this man abandoned her, he created this distrustful woman she is today. His reappearance in her life throws her for a loop. Especially when she finds out that Orion's visit isn't a coincidence.
Cali has been given a mission for the good of the Uprising. This mission involves her being a commander of a mission to rescue someone. Her team includes: her ex Orion, who desperately wants her back; Polaris, the Mission Control work that she enjoyed teasing with her flirtatious behavior; Hamal, a sweet but sexy doctor that does crazy things to Cali's insides; Antares, a former member of the Supremacy that she can't decide whether to trust or not; and Rux, a damn good gunner but generally a complete asshole. Cali is pissed. She wants no part of this mission that is sure to fail with her merry band of assholes. Okay, well they aren't all assholes. Polaris is adorable but unskilled in battle and Hamal is freaking swoonworthy. But the other guys, she is not a fan.
Cali gets forced into the mission because of circumstances beyond her control but begins plans to ditch the guys as soon as possible. She has to keep the guys off the scent of her true plans and keep them all from killing each other. She does her best to keep them in line and throw the shit right back at them when they try to undermine her. She also has to try to keep her body under control because these guys are hot. H-O-T. Plus when they start training together. Hot and sweaty bodies. Swoon. (Plus obvi Orion is Lee Adama from Battlestar Galactica – yes my obsession is real).
I really loved this book. It's really suprising that I don't read more sci-fi books because I obviously have a huge obsession with Battlestar Gallactica. A HUGE OBSESSION. I can't wait for the next book to come out because I really have fallen for these relationships. There are some really good steamy scenes that I am still swooning over. I would definitely recommend this to my sci-fi lovers because it is such a good book!

Can the Mavs win a championship starting Jose Juan Barea at point? I say no.
Author Archive
Mean Mavs postDecember 4, 2008
1-4November 7, 2008
I don't think I have the words to describe my feelings from the Spurs game tonight. I'm too worked up. Or I was until I read this post on 48 minutes of hell. Smart and optimistic thinking. It was, at least, what I needed to hear. All I can say is, I like George Hill but was hoping to bring him along a little slower than this. And it heartens to hear that Ian Mahini will be healthy soon, but will Pop open his heart to another Frenchman. Is he even French? Who is this Farmer fellow? So many questions. I am tired.
SixersNovember 6, 2008
Taking my first look at the supposed contender 76ers tonight, I realized that getting Elton Brand never made any damn sense at all for this team. A traditional post-playing big man is great and all if you have a roster like the Spurs, but if your team is composed almost entirely of slashers, what the hell are you to do? I have special interest in this issue as my once valuable Iguodala fantasy property is now diminishing every day. He can't shoot and he can't work around Brand. How all the bball minds missed this possibility in the preseason as they picked them to take the leap is beyond me.
Team RedeemedAugust 24, 2008
I joyfully (and perhaps intoxicatedly) stayed up until 3:30 last night to watch the conclusion of Olympic basketball and a pretty good game against a Spanish team that I knew would be tougher this time around. I can't help but enjoy and identify with this Team USA, even though they feature several players I dislike (mostly Kobe, but in lesser parts Carmelo and J-Kidd.) I'll admit that its partly a naive identifying of all USA teams with the original Dream Team, but I counter that with the fact that I always root for the men's basketball team, even when it featured AI and Starbury. I just love basketball and I also love the USA.
Why do I make such hay explaining myself? Mostly because of this Slate article, explaining how The Redeem Team is being trademarked and we're all dupes of NBA marketing. Even though I can agree with many of the points made, I reject the cynicism that would throw out what they accomplished with the bathwater. Yes, of course, the team's image is micromanaged to ridiculous lengths. I will never believe Kobe to be a good guy, no matter how hard he tries. J-Kidd is no legendary team player, despite the great passes. And Lebron (glorious as it is to watch him play), only allows tiny parts of his supposedly great personality to eke out, as mandated by his handlers.
But if you just watched the games you would know that this team played its ass off and played as intelligently and as unselfishly as any Olympic team has. You can't fault them for that, and I for one found myself impressed with their discipline and team play (especially Kobe, who pretty much saved the last night's game). This post on TrueHoop (about the players support of Darfur-related causes and Jerry Colangelo asking them to put aside non-basketball concerns) probably does the best job explaining the fine line these guys walked, and while it sucks to see that they were eventually dissuaded from being more vocal, I'm happy to see that they actually cared in the first place. This reverses my cynical feelings about Lebron that I harbored after hearing he wouldn't sign Ira Newble's petition to the Chinese government.
So mark me down as a believer in the "redeem team." Just not a dupe of The Redeem Team (Patent Pending).
Olympic ThoughtsAugust 11, 2008
I wanted to open up a thread to solicit thoughts and impressions of Olympic ball so far. As far as the US is concerned, I missed the China game this weekend, but based on the exhibitions I saw, I can only echo what everyone else is saying: Chris Paul should really start over Kidd.
I did, however, happen to be passing out Saturday night when the Greece-Spain game was playing live, and that was as hard-nosed an international game as I have ever seen. I knew Greece was a tough team, but I hadn't realized how much the Spainards had improved. I guess I should have noticed when the won the '06 World Championships, but this '08 team, with vets like Gasol and Calderon and young guns like Rudy Fernandez, are very deep and athletic. I was most impressed with Fernandez. He was flying all over the place. His defense may be a liability in the NBA, but I think the Blazers are getting a great player.
Anyway, I welcome all comments and additions concerning the Olympics, particularly how you feel the US is doing.
Houston, we have a problematic punny title…July 31, 2008
In regards to this last trade and the whole summer in general, I couldn't help but think that NBA teams are starting to operate exactly like a fantasy league. What was supposed to be a quiet summer of non-elite free agents resigning with the current teams has instead given way to seismic shifts through both conferences. I can almost imagine Daryl Morey sitting at his computer, fooling with a trade machine and texting the Maloofs with dumb ideas like "Artest 4 Deke + Lutherhead? Don't Laugh!"
I guess this is what happens when the old guard of Phoenix and Dallas weakens. (I'm not including SA, here, for obvious reasons.) After surveying the wreckage of this surprising Artest fire-sale, I'm inclined to think this would not have flown in our fantasy league, though. The soon-to-be-retired Bobby Jackson, a 1st rounder, and the deluxe gunner of the Vegas Summer League Donte Green for Ron Artest? This is the sort of discount that true instability generates, I guess. Sure, his numbers have dropped and he is a ball-stopping liability, but he can make baskets if properly motivated.
Putting aside my initial dissapointment that Artest was not paired up with Kobe (a combustible pipe deam, I suppose), this story caught my eye, leaving open the window for some classic Artest conflict. Artest vs. Yao! Now that's a brawl I would pay to see. Houston fans, yall ready for this?!
Enter the Hengst: Malik, D-Lee, and The Rise of Small BigsJuly 9, 2008
When it came to writing my first official post for Blogjammin, I found myself choosing a topic that is very dear to my heart: Undersized Power Forwards [The Garbagemen! — ed.].
As far as I'm concerned, hustle is more than a skill, its a habit. Hustle is a way of life. David Banner knows this. So does Rick Ross. But I'll tell you who really knows this better than anyone in the NBA: Malik Rose. He has the distinction of being one of my favorite players of all time, and his hustle earned him a very un-Spurs like salary of 7 years and $42 million.
Any Spurs fan can tell you, we all thought he deserved it. We were insane for the guy. There were bobble heads and shirts, not to mention the number of Malik jerseys at most games rivaled the starters. When he was traded for Nazr Mohammed (a savvy move, I had to admit), local TV news ran weepy specials. It was like we traded an all-star.
But this is what happens in the NBA. We want the lunchpail guys, the guys we can relate to. During the NBA lockout, Malik was supposedly sleeping on the floor of his mother's house in a Rugrats sleeping bag. Haven't we all done that during our own respective professional lockouts?
Today, as Malik rides the pine for the Knicks and imparts Hustle Truisms, one who has probably caught his ear is David Lee. Lee's value to that often miserable franchise can't be overstated. Seemingly no one else cares like he does. And for this sole reason, Knick fans are blinded to his real value.
Scan the comments on any Knicks draft story, and you'll find that New York fans refuse to trade him for anything. Danilo Gallinari was probably booed in relation to his potential to supplant Lee. I can probably admit that Lee is not worth max money or even may not be more than a great sixth man, but as a proud fantasy owner, I say: screw Gallinari.
As long as there are spiritless rosters filled with Starbury's and Darius Miles-type guys, the fans will always be hungry for their polar opposites. If you check out the top 50 rebounders of last year, you will see plenty of big names like Stoudemire, Howard, KG, and Duncan. But you will also see David Lee, and guys like Nick Collison, Paul Milsap and Chuck Hayes. You can ask Matty what their +/- means to a successful team.
What I have to say is that, fantasy stats or real ones, I celebrate the Hustle Guy, the Energy Guy. They help win championships. Just ask Reid if he remembers Malik's signature 25 point effort in Game 2 of the '03 Spurs-Mavs series. Actually, I'm pretty sure that was taped over with the searing memory of Steve Kerr draining three after three. But Kerr never would've been in that position without Malik.

We've been busy building. We needed a shelter for the goats in their new goat pasture, so we are finishing up our goat summer cottage. They seem to like it just fine and have "moved" right in for shade and shelter from light rains. We need to get tarpaper and shingles on it, plus a couple coats of paint and it'll be done. When we also get a solid door on it, we can leave them in the pasture at night, too, shut safely inside. We do have lots of wolves, bears, cougars, and other neighbors who might decide a tender goat might make a great supper. We've never lost an animal to a predator, but we are careful to keep them in at night. Having a big dog or two sure helps on that account
Spencer, our black Lab, is learning to "get 'em!" and is an avid ground squirrel-hunter. Not only does he protect our livestock and us, but our garden, as well.
We finally got all 2 million leaks fixed on the hot tub (where the PVC pipes had frozen) and it was ready for water. But we knew it would cost a bundle to heat it often with propane. So while Will was at the dump, he brought home two hot water heaters, an electric one and a propane tank. After removing the insulation and covering, he cut the bottom 18 inches off the electric tank, made a door and ash cleanout door in it, then welded it onto the bottom of the propane tank. (The propane tank has a chimney through the center). Now we had a wood-fired water heater. Will bought a new pressure relief valve so it didn't go into orbit if it overheated, then plumbed it into our hot tub, the top line going into the tub up high and the bottom one down low to create a thermosyphon. He fired up the heater, bled out the air from a faucet on top, and in a few minutes, we watched the ripple of incoming warm water from the tank into the hot tub. Wow!
He later boosted the flow with a little 12-volt pump, run off an old lawnmower battery. It worked great and we had hot water in three hours. For free. That makes soaking our weary backs in that hot water even sweeter! Ah! Life on the homestead!
Readers' Questions:
Canning chili
I am new to canning and have read your blogs for lots of great ideas and help. I am a little confused by Presto as they have recipes for their 23 Quart Pressure canner that state that you only need to pressure can Chili for 15 Minutes at 15 Pounds. See their web site instruction manuals for confirmation. According to you and the USDA the correct amount of time is 90 minutes. Why would Presto go with 15? I played it safe and went with the 90 to be sure.

Watery tomato sauce and canning lemon curd
I have written before and I have to say that I love all the answers. We are currently getting all the veggies in the ground and so far we are seeing blooms on the Early Girl tomatoes! Yay! Only one question with that: last year I canned all this wonderful tomato sauce that I thought would be great. Just had to pour it out and heat it up for noodles and meatballs. But it was not to be. The sauce was basically watery and tasteless. What can I do to make it better this year? Can I make the recipe but not cook it down and just pack it in hot jars? Without water? And process it in a water canner?
Another question I have is that I love lemon curd. Can I can it in jars in the water processor? I hope I can, making it every week or so is getting a bit much!
Jonica Kelly
Randallstown, Maryland
I'm not sure what you did with your sauce. To make great tomato sauce, first either peel your tomatoes or run them through a tomato strainer like a Victorio Squeezo. Puree the tomatoes, one way or another, NOT adding water. Then add any spices you wish, just like you were making your sauce from fresh. If you don't know if your tomatoes are an acidic variety, add 1Tbsp. lemon juice to each pint jar and 2 Tbsp. to each quart jar before you fill them. Simmer the tomato sauce down until it is fairly thick; the thickness depends on your likes but remember the lemon juice will slightly water it down. Process. This sauce will NOT be watery and tasteless. Good canning!
I found this information for you from the University of Georgia and I know I'll use it too:
Canned Lemon Curd
2½ cups superfine sugar
½ cup lemon zest (freshly zested), optional
1 cup bottled lemon juice
¾ cup unsalted butter, chilled, cut into approximately ¾-inch pieces
7 large egg yolks
4 large whole eggs
Special Equipment Needed: lemon zester, balloon whisk, 1½ quart double boiler (the top double boiler pan should be at least 1½-quart volume), strainer, kitchen thermometer measuring at least up to 180 degrees F, glass or stainless steel medium mixing bowl, silicone spatula or cooking spoon, and equipment for boiling water canning. Yield: About 3 to 4 half-pint jars
1. Wash 4 half-pint canning jars with warm, soapy water. Rinse well; keep hot until ready to fill. Prepare canning lids according to manufacturer's directions.
2. Fill boiling water canner with enough water to cover the filled jars by 1 to 2 inches. Use a thermometer to preheat the water to 180 degrees F by the time filled jars are ready to be added. Caution: Do not heat the water in the canner to more than 180 degrees F before jars are added. If the water in the canner is too hot when jars are added, the process time will not be long enough. The time it takes for the canner to reach boiling after the jars are added is expected to be 25 to 30 minutes for this product. Process time starts after the water in the canner comes to a full boil over the tops of the jars.
3. Combine the sugar and lemon zest in a small bowl, stir to mix, and set aside about 30 minutes. Pre-measure the lemon juice and prepare the chilled butter pieces.
4. Heat water in the bottom pan of the double boiler until it boils gently. The water should not boil vigorously or touch the bottom of the top double boiler pan or bowl in which the curd is to be cooked. Steam produced will be sufficient for the cooking process to occur.
5. In the top of the double boiler, on the countertop or table, whisk the egg yolks and whole eggs together until thoroughly mixed. Slowly whisk in the sugar and zest, blending until well mixed and smooth. Blend in the lemon juice and then add the butter pieces to the mixture.
6. Place the top of the double boiler over boiling water in the bottom pan. Stir gently but continuously with a silicone spatula or cooking spoon, to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches a temperature of 170 degrees F. Use a food thermometer to monitor the temperature.
7. Remove the double boiler pan from the stove and place on a protected surface, such as a dish cloth or towel on the countertop. Continue to stir gently until the curd thickens (about 5 minutes). Strain curd through a mesh strainer into a glass or stainless steel bowl; discard collected zest.
8. Fill hot strained curd into the clean, hot half-pint jars, leaving ½-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace if needed. Wipe rims of jars with a dampened, clean paper towel; apply two-piece metal canning lids.
9. Process half pints in the prepared boiling water canner 15 minutes for 0-1,000 feet altitude, 20 minutes for 1,001 to 6,000 feet altitude, and 25 minutes above 6,000 feet altitude. Let cool, undisturbed, for 12 to 24 hours and check for seals. — Jackie
Spider mites
I have enjoyed your articles since I started reading Backwoods Home Magazine. I have a question about our garden:
We are new to Alaska and we are trying to get a nice little garden going to supplement our produce. We started all our seeds in little trays and have just recently moved them outside. The problem is that they are all starting to wilt at the stalk and shrivel into nothing. The only thing that happened while they were in the initial planters is that we had this interesting little spider web looking thing grow around the base of our plants. It it looking like this year's garden is going to be lost if we can't figure this out.
Thanks for your help. Any other advice about planting up north as opposed to the south (where me and my wife grew up) would be greatly appreciated.

You sound like you may have spider mites in your seedlings. These are tiny little "bugs" that suck the juices from the plant, much like aphids do. Use a mild insecticide spray, such as Safer or a rotenone based product to spray your plants. — Jackie
Metal to metal seal on canner
You talked about a canner with metal to metal seal. I have searched on-line looking for one and without a name I have had no success. Could you give me the name of one or more? It will be much appreciated.

I have two canners with a steel to steel gasketless lid. One is an old timer and I don't have the brand. The new one is an All-American. Lehman's Hardware also sells their own brand of this canner in several sizes. — Jackie

So I finally got in day 78 Total Body Core tried yesterday but when you know your body is saying you need to stop you stop. So today I was feeling better and push through it. Boy did it work the core you feel it everywhere hince Total Body. Anyhow getting through this was quite the challenge today but I did it 2 rounds. The sad part is its coming to an end we have almost done 80 days wow. I'm seriously thinking about doing it again. I feel sometimes by doing it over maybe you can do it better, know more how to balance, stand, lift and everything. A few pictures of our moves using resistance bands. It was a challenge but every time I have to smile and say I did it. Of course before I started my workout today I did do a eshot to give me energy through the workout.
So for the equipment we used weights, sliders, & resistance bands I feel it what a great workout! Tomorrow will be Cardio Core so we will get to work our core more who don't like working their core. I highly recommend to anyone to do the 80 day Obsession if you're looking for an everyday workout. I will take some time off and probably do some other workouts and yes probably do the 80 day again I believe

Intro Best Vpn Sites
PureVPN has been providing VPN services since 2007, so It is not surprising that it currently maintains a long list of attributes: 2,000+ self-managed servers across 180+ locations, a broad selection of protocols, torrent support, DNS and IPv6 flow security, a smart kill switch, five devices allowed and payment via Bitcoin if you need it. Best Vpn Sites
Unusual Extras comprise'split tunneling' (you choose which traffic goes through the VPN, and which uses your ISP) and the capacity to produce an instantaneous Wi-Fi VPN hotspot in your laptop, and connect even more devices through that.
The Company provides dedicated apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and Linux, extensions for Chrome and Firefox, and more downloads and tutorials that will assist you set this up on routers, Kodi, Android TV, Amazon's Fire TV Stick and much more.
Click here to sign up for PureVPN.
PureVPN PureVPN subscription options:
- 12 month plan – $5.75 per month ($69 total price )
The Monthly strategy is average value at $11 (#8.40), however, the annual plan is merely a monthly $2.99 (#2.30), a really good thing.
This Drops to a monthly $1.32 (#1) if you cover 5 decades upfront, a total of $79 (#61). We would suggest registering for that long, but the cost is so low, you might think it's rewarding. Personal online Access offers a decent two-year program for $2.91 (#2.24) per month, for instance, but that's still $70 (#54) in complete, not much less. If you use PureVPN for a couple of years, you are getting decent price.
The By utilizing some marketing trickery this fantastic impression is spoilt by company a little. Each plan has a'past sold' indicator that informs you if a person signed up, and typically it's just a few minutes ago.
This is Presumably meant to explain to you the service is, but we are not sure that the amounts are real. We seen in different browsers, and refreshed the page a few times, and also the'last sold' figures varied widely. They act as though they're chosen randomly, rather than corresponding to any real world events.
PureVPN does not advertise a trial. We dug deep and found a webpage for something called a'3-day trial account', but that is a little misleading. It's actually only a commercial plan in which you pay a non refundable $2.50 (#2) for 3 days of support.
There's a guarantee for the Regular industrial plans, which can be more generous than many. PureVPN's refund policy utilized to incorporate some sneaky circumstances where you would not get back your money in the event that you'd connected over 100 times, or used over 3GB of data transfer, but we were pleased to see these happen to be dropped. It is now advertised as a'no questions asked, secure, stress-free' money-back guarantee, so if you are miserable, simply send an email and request a refund. Best Vpn Sites
Handing Over your money to PureVPN is remarkably simple, as the business supports more or less every payment format there's: credit card, PayPal, Bitcoin and many different cryptocurrencies (through CoinPayments), AliPay, assorted gift cards, and over 150 other payment procedures via the Paymentwall platform.
After Parting with your cash, download links direct one to apps for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, the browser extensions and much more. We caught the Windows customer, and there arrived a email with login information as it downloaded.
Setup Was easy, and after a speedy launch, the Windows customer prompted us to select one of five modes: Stream, Internet Freedom, Security/Privacy, File Sharing and Dedicated IP. We guess most people will wonder whether to choose Internet Freedom or Security/Privacy, and there's no immediate guidance to explain the gap.
The Support website told us that choosing a manner could optimize PureVPN's settings for that task. For instance, security would be prioritized by choosing Security/Privacy over all else, however, the Streaming and File Sharing manners would optimize for speed.
VPN Beginners might appreciate this strategy since it means that they don't need to understand and tweak the underlying settings. But experts are less inclined to approve, as there's no obvious indication of what each mode does. There's nothing wrong with task-based style choice, but we'd like a clear display of the low-level settings for each style, so experienced users can comprehend the consequences of their choice.
After You're able to pick locations. This has plenty of performance, allowing you to navigate locations by cities or countries, search by name, see ping times, or make favorites for quick recall later.
Alternatively, Deciding upon a Purpose choice displays a list of tasks you may want to carry out — unblocking Netflix or other streaming sites, using VoIP, obtaining social media sites or whatever — and also you can in theory select among these, and permit PureVPN to choose a server for you.
Connect To a host and the client displays your connection status. There's also an optional bandwidth graph showing your information transfers for the past couple of seconds. You certainly won't want it, but it's good to see PureVPN making the effort.
The Client makes smart of usage of alarms to make sure you know what's happening. Decide on a location it won't waste your time. But if you change to the customer notices a different program, and a window seems to let you know when it disconnects and connects.
A bonus Feature blocks access. We would always prefer to purchase this kind of feature from a professional security firm, however, Gravity is a lot smarter than the majority of the VPN-related contest. As well as blocking dangerous links, it can turn on Safe Search for the primary search engines, block entire categories of site, whitelist websites you always wish to get into, and blacklist websites you do not. Oh, and it can block ads. Best Vpn Sites
The Settings Box is a highlight, especially for users, as it filled with interesting and odd extras.
The Customer doesn't just have options to launch for instance, on system start and auto-connect. As soon as you're protected, it can open your default browser.
Need a Different protocol? PureVPN allows you to choose from OpenVPN TCP/UDP, PPTP, L2TP, SSTP and IKEV. There's also an Automatic alternative which the customer suggests offers the very best speed and security, but from what we could see, that's not true: it only cycles through another protocols till it finds one that works.
Split Tunneling permits you to send only specified apps' visitors through your VPN. That requires more time to set up, and you need to be very certain which apps you need to divert, but it can also optimize performance by restricting your data transfer needs.
The VPN Hotspot is an extra that is unusual, configuring a wireless hotspot which effectively turns the host computer into a restricted VPN router. Once it's enabled, you'll have the ability to use your phone, tablet or other devices to get online via the host's PureVPN connection.
And the List continues, using IPv6 leak protection, a remarkably configurable kill button, along with a multi-port option which intelligently chooses the best port, avoiding any closed or throttled options. You may elect to use a non-NAT system to get a unique IP address, port forwarding is available should you need it, along with a Support department does not simply link to the site: it eases creating a service ticket from within the client.
Even though There is lots of power here, the port is a mess that is inconsistent and awkward. There are normal buttons, radio buttons, links, icons and sidebars, they don't necessarily work as you'd expect, and even though we figured out how to navigate around the machine, it never felt comfortable or natural.
Still, The client did a good job for us, blocking DNS and WebRTC escapes, and with the kill switch successfully killing our internet access when the VPN connection fell. It may appeal if you will use a number of their client's many extra features.
We took a Look at PureVPN's Android program, and it had been much the exact same story as the Windows version. After picking a'Mode' (not sure why), we managed to pick cities, states, or pick a Purpose (optimized for China, unblock that streaming assistance, etc ). It is more awkward to use than the VPN program, but you'll figure it out.
What's Interesting is the Android program does not drop most of the desktop's settings and choices, which is exactly what we see. It has a very similar feature set, including a choice of protocol (OpenVPN TCP/UDP or IKEv2), a kill switch, split tunneling, port forwarding, Gravity URL filtering, and more. Again, if you will use all of that functionality or some, it is well worth a go. Best Vpn Sites
Privacy and logging
In a Previous inspection we pointed out that PureVPN created a huge deal of its'zero log' policy, describing that this meant the firm didn't record what you did online. Nevertheless, the small print said there was a session logging, which appeared to add time you connect to a host, your incoming IP address and the total bandwidth used.
This Is not a detail. In October 2017 reports appeared of a guy being arrested on suspicion of running"a comprehensive cyberstalking campaign", in part based on PureVPN records showing that its services were accessed from appearing IPs such as the accused man's home and office. The'zero log' VPN retained some kind of logs, after all, and those were able to help link internet actions to a particular account.
PureVPN sort of reacted to this in a blog Post, where the company pointed out that it did not keep full logs, like your surfing history, and it had not done anything to violate its privacy policy, where the session logging was cited.
This Does not tackle the issue of the firm described itself as maintaining'zero logs' in the main part of the website, however, when this turned out to not be completely true. That's also not a point. Logging policies are based almost entirely on trust, along with a VPN isn't likely to be trusted if it's seen to mislead consumers or bury the reality of a scenario in the small print.
PureVPN has at least updated its privacy Policy, which currently includes probably the most explicit no-logging sentence we've ever seen:'we don't retain any record of your surfing activities, connection logs, records of the VPN IPs assigned to youpersonally, your initial IPs, your relationship time, the history of your browsing, the sites you visited, your outgoing traffic, the content or information you accessed, or the DNS queries generated by you.'
The Policy also clarifies the minimal connection information it does record –'We all know the day you connected to a particular VPN location and from that Internet Service Provider' — also covers plenty of other important issues in a clear and readable manner.
The good news, then, is that PureVPN's present Privacy policy looks great and says all the ideal things. It's much better than most of the contest. However, the catch is that the story will lead some folks to question whether they can trust what the provider says. We can not tell you exactly what to think, but it's well worth checking out equally PureVPN's unique site defense and also its present privacy policy before you make your mind up.

PureVPN Creates more of an effort to support website unblocking. The company does not only make airy promises on the site then forget about them later, it includes specific support for streaming inside its apps, in theory allowing you to get Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, BBC iPlayer along with a plethora of other services from wherever you are in the world. Best Vpn Sites
We Double-clicked the BBC option, and viewed as the customer displayed and joined an'err-network-changed' message. What? This looked like a severe difficulty, however, the browser had only detected the change in our community settings as the customer connected, and after this was complete, the BBC iPlayer website opened and streamed content as usual.
It had been The same story with Netflix. The customer started our browser until the connection was complete, so we saw the exact same error message, but this vanished mechanically, and we were free to browse and stream whatever Netflix content we liked.
You're Not restricted to the services built into PureVPN's programs , naturally. YouTube wasn't contained on the list but by connecting to a US server in the usual 21, we were got .
Our Normal performance tests involve running custom applications which connects to numerous servers, checking more , ping time, location and download rates. Regrettably, we could not get this working with PureVPN, or determine why (whether that is our fault or theirs, we can't be sure).
But even If we did, an odd warning from the small print explains that users aren't permitted to have over 200 sessions every day. That will not concern most folks, but it will become an issue when you're running VPN benchmarks across a number of servers. Best Vpn Sites
We fell Back on our old manual way of linking via clients and checking the results from various speed checking websites, including SpeedTest.net, Fast.com and TestMy.net. This doesn't give us as much data to work with, but there's still enough to get a sense for what the service can deliver.
Our local UK servers diverse a little more than normal, but nevertheless gave quite acceptable download rates of connection to us.
Near Speeds were mildly under average. they have been typically 35-45Mbps, although netherlands connections can often deliver the same speeds for us as UK servers.
US Performance ranged from approximately 30Mbps to 50Mbps, in the west coast about the east. That's far from the fastest we've seen, but unless you're likely 24 hours of torrenting, it's most likely not going to cause you some issues.
As usual, Speeds tailed off radically to the more distant or less common locations. For example, New Zealand averaged 12Mbps, Vietnam had been 10Mbps, Taiwan touched 1Mbps, also China ranged down to a speed that the web stalled mid-test. That places the size of PureVPN's system into perspective (having heaps of servers doesn't matter whether many are unusably slow), but if you're only planning to utilize the major places, it won't matter very much.
On a few Occasions, our PureVPN Windows client wasn't able to connect to our test server that is chosen. The Cancel button did not work, but the problem here is that the link didn't time out for many moments, although that is not unusual.
Everything You Want To Know About PureVPN
The Evaluation of Speed — Just How Fast is PureVPN?
Let's start off by making one thing clear, i.e. whatever VPN support you use, the internet speed is going to take a hit. That hit is a result of the extra security measures used to encrypt and protect your identity. The vast majority of VPN providers make every possible effort to make certain that the strike is as gentle as it could be. Thus, unlike what many folks will have you think like using dial-up that it's not likely to be.
PureVPN, compared to other similar VPN services, appears to be much faster. Thus, yes it will live up to the promise of being the fastest in the business. Best Vpn Sites
How we tested the performance was by utilizing Ookala's nifty speed testing website and app. We then ran the speed test on both the national and international servers. We then compared the outcomes, calculated their portion gap, and that is the way we discovered PureVPN to be quicker.
PureVPN includes a national latency of a mere 6.7% percent. As a matter of fact, during our evaluations, PureVPN improved speeds substantially that by our calculations is an percent. We found that rival VPN providers were much slower. Some individuals guess throttled download rates because they did not wish to worry their servers.
When it comes to uploads, PureVPN did not really boost it like it did with downloads, but it required a mere 4.5% percent hit. If anything this remains among the very best scores we've seen from a VPN supplier.
Throughout our international speed tests, the latency increased by 200 percent. Though download speeds have been still a whopping 403.8percent better than any of the competing products I tested it against. The uploads have been 22.7% percent slower that is second best compared to perhaps Hotspot Shield which enhanced the upload rate by 1.4percent percent.
A Mind-Blowing Number of Servers
The map on the left allows you skip the software's default recommendation and decide on a server for yourself. Keep in mind that by default PureVPN chooses the fastest server which is the one. When in China I discovered that it kept picking up servers in Hong Kong by default that's not the fact but also only nearby that the cyberspace of Hong Kong is not as rigorously censored as mainland China.
PureVPN has over 2000 servers that are dispersed across 140 countries and 180 areas around the globe. Servers are located in Central America, Asia, South America, North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Now you may believe that PureVPN only has servers in countries which block or don't censor websites, but you'd be wrong. Servers in Russia, Turkey, and China are there in case you needed them.
It Doesn't Slow Down Your Internet
Over time VPN services, in general, have received bad press for infamously slowing down internet rates that users have not been happy with clearly. Interestingly, there are still many VPN services that slow down what might be slow internet. Fortunately, with PureVPN that is not the case even in the event that you use it to flow Netflix, YouTube, etc..
In addition to not slowing down your internet, PureVPN offers quite a few different attributes like robust servers that are located across the world and which scored tremendously during our speed tests. Then there's also the simple fact that they utilize military-grade encryption, together with apps for Android and iOS apparatus. Though there are many more reasons to think about PureVPN as we will examine in detail below. Best Vpn Sites
Excellent Collection of Features and Easy to Understand
I have used dozens of VPN programs over the years, also PureVPN is like a breath of fresh air. It is quite simple to use and in relation to the last time that I used the program its geared towards individuals that are new to using VPNs. The moment PureVPN loads you are motivated to choose from five choices, i.e. Security, Internet Freedom, Stream, Remote/Dedi IP (this attribute offers you a dedicated IP) and File Sharing. The app then delivers an experience that is based on the option selected.
Another thing I enjoy about PureVPN is that every one of the features are to the stage. For instance, their Internet Freedom feature lets you select what area you need to access Netflix from, such as from the united kingdom, Australia, etc.. In which it's otherwise blocked, you can even get Netflix.
Compared to the last time I used PureVPN this time around it sensed zippier. The interface has been bright, with colorful pictures some of that could be hard to read on a smaller screen. When you're connected to a private server, you are going to see the duration of your session, link status, and the current IP address.
The traffic graph gives you a good sense of how much bandwidth is being consumed, which is beneficial for anyone on a metered internet connection. Nonetheless, it's very important to mention worrying about information caps that PureVPN does not have any. Thus, you're only limited to what the ISP has in store for you!
Like most other competing VPN providers, you pick the server and the country it's based in. You may search for servers and click them to connect. Some servers based on where you're found are going to be faster than others because of latency.
You can also choose which protocols to use. Choose between OpenVPN, IKEv2, SSTP, PPTP, and L2TP. There is PureVPN's very own stealth protocol which according to the company ensures the anonymity. Since people like me have a difficult time comprehending which protocols to pick, PureVPN makes it simple by giving a rate and security rating for every. The key thing to note here is that as the safety boosts the speed slows down. Thus, you'll need to strike a compromise between both depending on what's needed. By default, a protocol is chosen by the program. Most people who don't work for the CIA (pun intended) will be fine with the default option. Best Vpn Sites
Hands-on and Initial Impressions
We've admittedly used PureVPN earlier, but following a hiatus or two years we pretty much forgot how things worked. You are going to need to enter your email and choose a password As soon as you've decided to register and download their software. Perhaps confusingly and interestingly, this isn't what you will use into the program to log-in, but instead it is used for charging purposes.
Once subscribers have compensated, they receive an email with the username and password in plain text. We have used other VPNs that use the same system to payment identities out of consumer identities that guarantees better anonymity. Yet we believe that it could be confusing to first-time users however its something you get used to. Additionally, in our experience the email will property for some reason in your junk folder, so make sure that you check that before calling service.
PureVPN has a large support Website of tutorials and troubleshooting manuals. The opening page points you Setup Guide, Troubleshoot, For Users in China and to watch Netflix US, for instance, and nearly all of these segments include more information than you'd anticipate.
The Installation Guide has subsections for Devices, Routers and Windows, Mac, Linux, Android Smart TV, as an instance, and some of those segments have more content than the whole support website of VPNs.
We are, Though It's an impressive amount of work Unsure how successful and reliable it may be. We assessed the guide OpenVPN setup manual and discovered it failed completely. OpenVPN wasn't installed there were no PureVPN configuration files, and there was no troubleshooting information in the manual to help us figure this out.
If the Website can not help, you can send an email or increase a support ticket from within the customer. We took the ticket route and the service done very well, together with the support team delivering us a answer to our evaluation question in barely more than an hour.
Alternatively, You're able to use chat . We found it might take a minute or two to get a reply, and even since we'd obtained to our email query, then, the agent didn't provide us the exact same level of help. PureVPN could not get near the degree of chat service we had received from top competitors like ExpressVPN, then, but we're still glad the choice is available. And with email support to hand, any live chat issues you might have are not too significant. Best Vpn Sites
Last verdict
PureVPN Comes bundled with a pile. These don't always work as you might expect and there are lots of usability issues with the apps — but demanding users who will utilize this level of VPN power must give PureVPN a look.
