Happy Birthday, Cohiba
Nearly 800 Cigar Aficionados Gather in Havana to Celebrate 30 Years of Cohiba Cigars
James Suckling
From the Print Edition:
Claudia Schiffer, Jul/Aug 97
He was one of the few wearing green military fatigues at the Cohiba 30th anniversary party in the Tropicana in Havana, but Cuban President Fidel Castro seemed to be having as good a time as anyone in the international crowd who turned out in formal and evening dress.
Castro spent more than an hour addressing the 800 or so guests, speaking about everything from the history of the Cohiba cigar brand to the follies of President Bill Clinton. None of the Hollywood stars, such as Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger, promised by the international press attended the Feb. 28 event, but the surprise appearance of Cuba's commander-in-chief left most of the crowd nearly breathless as the tall, bearded politician gushed with enthusiasm.
With the warm night air laced with the scent of Robusto Especial Cohibas (robusto-thick double coronas made especially for the evening), Castro admitted to the crowd that he "never stopped dreaming about cigars" despite quitting about a decade ago. "Quite often you dream about forbidden things," he playfully said. "Have you ever done that? We all have dreams of things that are forbidden."
About 100 cigar-loving Americans fulfilled at least one of their forbidden dreams and attended the $500-per-person event despite warnings from the U.S. government that they could be prosecuted on their return. "I am not going to let the U.S. government tell me what I can and cannot do," said one businessman from Florida. "I have every right to be here. This is a fabulous occasion."
Said a slightly more mellowed New York businessman, "This is a chance of a lifetime. I am enjoying every moment of it. It was worth taking the chance."
The Cohiba celebrations began well before the main event Friday evening. The world's cigar-smoking cognoscenti began arriving the weekend before, and for nearly a week hit just about every known bar, restaurant, club and shop where good cigars could be found in Havana. The handful of cigar shops were packed every day with customers. Sales were so brisk that some shops looked as if locusts had flown through and cleared their shelves of cigars. There had been a slight price increase shortly before that week, but it didn't seem to deter anyone from buying a few good boxes. Most large-sized cigars were difficult to come by, although a few boxes of robustos, Churchills and double coronas surfaced in stores.
"It is hard to keep up with all the people here," said Michael Gillis, a cigar merchant from Cape Town, South Africa, who came especially for the event. "It's like one big reunion. First you see a friend in a cigar shop and then you see him in a restaurant. It's really quite wonderful." Other events associated with the Cohiba anniversary, all of which were organized by Habanos S.A., the marketing organization for Cuban cigars, included a trip to the plantations of the Vuelta Abajo, Cuba's premium tobacco growing region, and a visit to the newly renovated El Laguito factory (Cohiba's main production facility) as well as a cigar tasting there.
El Laguito, the main factory for Cohiba, was restored to its turn-of-the-century splendor. What had once been a decaying, grimy building with dank and dingy rooms was transformed into an elegant, baronial jewel for the island. "What do you think of my beautiful factory?" asked manager Emilia Tamayo, the vibrant woman who had taken over El Laguito a few years ago and who had masterminded its metamorphosis. "It is a job only a woman can do. I am so proud of my factory."
It's only fitting that Tamayo runs El Laguito. The factory was established in the early 1960s as a school to teach women the intricacies of cigar production. Until then, the cigar factories and rolling rooms in Cuba were almost exclusively male domains. Under the direct order of Castro, El Laguito was created to change this.
Eduardo Rivera Irizarri, who is credited with creating the blend and original unique shapes such as Lanceros for Cohiba, sat next to Tamayo at Friday's festivities. He hadn't worked at El Laguito for years, but he beamed with pride over the new and improved version of his factory. "This was always a wonderful building, but it was never like this," said Rivera, who was the first manager of the factory. "This is how such a great place as El Laguito should be." When you walk into the expansive entrance of the building, its beautiful flowing balustrade stairway stands regally in front of you in freshly painted yellow and white. To the left and right are large livingroom-sized chambers painted in pale blues, pinks and greens, with rows of work benches and dozens of rollers (all wearing black 30th anniversary Cohiba T-shirts) meticulously crafting Coronas Especials, Lanceros, Exquisitos and Panetelas. All the cigar rolling is downstairs; the second floor of the factory is devoted to aging, processing and blending tobacco as well as boxing and aging cigars. Until recently, only the thin sizes of Cohiba were made at El Laguito. Rollers, known as torcedores, began making a few Esplendidos late last year. Other sizes of Cohiba such as Robusto and the five Siglos are made by the Fernando Roig (formerly La Corona), José Martí (H. Upmann) and Francisco Perez German (Partagas) factories, although technicians from El Laguito closely supervise their production.

1101 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9410937.785568 -122.421727
Neighborhoods: Northeast, Civic Center
A San Francisco institution with massive portions and old school cafeteria eats. The extensive beer list is also noteworthy!
great food-beers-staff-cash only -- when I lived here I loved to come to Tommy's -- either alone or with friend(s) -- one can share a table with others and not feel pressured to visit - one can read, etc., eat and drink economically and catch a bus across the street or a cab! There is an ATM machine if you need one - but I always have cash available. The only negative are the homeless that hang around to pan handle - I do not hand out cash -- I will hand out food and I've asked a polite person what they would like off the menu. Especially if it is chilly--someone might prefer to have the hot stew than a sannich. But a beer/drink/that's all mine. One of the bartenders was my Express bus driver -- I could not figure out where I saw his face until I sat at the bar late one afternoon and he told me--what a delightful very local charming place.
Awsome SF staple – i have had everything on the menu, which is posted on the wall. it is all good in the hood. you get your drinks from the bar or a waitress after you get your meal. dont skip the free pickle bucket right after the cash register. fun to sit upstairs a bit more private makes you feel like your in some cave.
Average food, below average staff – Located before the intersection of Van Ness and Geary, with less than stellar parking, Tommy's Joynt can be found. I was more than excited to go to this dive after watching it on the Food Network show, Diner's, Drive-in's, and Dive's. I must admit that I was severly disappointed with the entire restaurant. First, the food is average and nothing out of the ordinary. I will say that I have eaten much better food than this. Given, the food is really affordable but aside from that, it really doesn't taste any better than Quizno's. The service staff needs to go to a class on hospitality and customer service as they are severly lacking in this area. I've seen better service at a Jack in the Box. The owner seems to be mad most of the time which either shows that she hates her job or hates her life. I can understand on busy days that you might not be able to be on the high end of hospitality, but on non-busy days there is no excuse. Not everyone who goes to your restaurnat are locals or regulars so take extreme care when being bad in this area because word travels fast and there is moe to the bay area than San Fran. I would definitely not go back and not recommend the food or atmosphere.
Incredibly long wait, your hunger would have passed if you go here on a Friday or weekend night. Way too expensive for a very undistinguished menu. You're paying for its location--but you're within just a few blocks of some much better, *much* more authentic Mexican food that's literally half the price. The food and drinks aren't terrible, just ridiculously overpriced and nothing special.
Chain Restaurants Bow Before Thee – Tommy's Joynt is so full of eye gouging craziness you could consider this the mother of TGIF, Apple Bees, Ed Debevics, and all the others. It's insane. The buffet style serving, the beer list, and the fun make this place awesome and truly unique for a city that loves high society eating and hippie granola organic tasties.
Google my blog "freaking delicious" if you want to see a video review I put together about this place. I show you the food, the in/outside, and truly show what this place is all about.
One of the Originals – As a native San Franciscan of over forty years, Tommy's Joint is a place that my dad used to visit as well as myself. A stop over for many celebs during the hay day of the rat-pack and such. This place has all the true ambience of a San Francisco landmark. Oh yes, and the food is terrific! You have not been to San Franciscvo unless you have stopped by Tommy's Joint.
Great Spot for some Buffalo Stew and a Cold Beer – My buddy Dave took me to Tommy's Joynt when I first arrived to SF back in 2000. This place is a true SF landmark, and remains consistent each and everytime I visit. I just wish my Grandfather was still alive to join me there for a beer.
Great sandwich, weird decor – I really enjoyed my pastrami sandwich, thought it was really good actually. I did pick a lot of fat off though, but I thought the meat and the bread were great. I didn't get any sides, so no comment on those. The thing I didn't like was all the stuff hanging from the ceiling and the walls. I like dives, I like pictures and things people collect. But this place looks like a horders paradise. There is stuff everywhere and it looks filthy. For some reason that's all I the thoughts I left with.....great sandwich, filthy place. But my boyfriend loves it because he thinks their meats are great i.e. the lamb. I would go back for a sandwich, I'd get it to go though.
They don't actually make food you order to take out – The star is for the crappy service. I didn't even get the food. I just called in an order for take out, and the lady on the phone said it'd be ready in 10 minutes. After walking through the Tenderloin to get there, the lady working told me to go up to the register, and, lo and behold, the guys behind the counter started playing dumb. 'We don't got no take out order. What take out order?' Lady went up to them and said, 'I gave you an order ten minutes ago.' 'We don't got no order,' he answered and shrugged his shoulders. Next customer, no apologies, no attempt to rectify the situation. After being treated so rudely, I didn't stay for the food. I can only imagine what it tastes like if this is how they treat their customers.
Filled up! Great food. – Talk about being stuffed! Your last ten bucks will have you limping out satisfied! Hot roast beef, quick to serve1 what more can you ask?

Boxing: Price confirms Skelton date
David Price's fight with Matt Skelton has been confirmed for Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool on November 30.
The unbeaten 29-year-old will be making the second defence of his British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles after knocking out Audley Harrison in the first round earlier this month.
Former British, Commonwealth and European champion Skelton boxed on the same bill in Liverpool on October 13.
The 45-year-old from Bedford showed he can still be a threat by stopping Croatian Jakov Gospic in two rounds.
Price said: "Matt was on standby in case Audley pulled out. He went through with his part of the deal so we'll go through with ours.
"I am aware he is 45, but he has won major championships and challenged for the world title.
"I have only boxed 14 times as a professional and still learning and Matt will bring something new for me."

EU Law Based Withholding Tax Claims
Private equity funds – a focus on risk management
Over recent years there has been a significant amount of activity in the European Union (EU) regarding the compatibility of EU Member State dividend withholding tax legislation with European law, particularly where the Member State in question chooses to tax a non-resident investor at a higher rate than a comparable resident investor. This has led to a vast number of claims being filed against EU Member States by portfolio investors, both within and outside the EU.
Although there have been prior decisions from the European Court Justice (ECJ) relating to certain portfolio investors (e.g. portfolio investments), which are very helpful, the position of certain investment vehicles has not been considered specifically until now.
Please listen in to a recent webcast where Deloitte's top professionals will help you stay current with ECJ developments, as well as give you guidance and practical insights.
Specific topics to be covered include:
- Technical issues and an overview of ECJ case
- Implications for other countries
- ASC 740 (formerly FIN 48) considerations
- U.S. reporting issues for mutual funds, hedge funds, and private equity
As used in this document, "Deloitte" means Deloitte LLP, and its subsidiaries. Please see www.deloitte.com/us/about for a detailed description of the legal structure of Deloitte LLP and its subsidiaries.

Intern Success Stories features Dominican students who have participated in Dominican University's for-credit academic Internship Program.
These experiences represent student interns in a wide array of majors and internship sites from businesses, non-profit organizations, and governmental agencies.
Let Dominican celebrate your success. Submit your Intern Success Story.
"I have gained a lot of skills working as an intern for KQED," says Sukey Lewis, a Humanities and Cultural Studies major. "I have learned how to research and craft a relevant story, to produce a show, to write content for a web site, and to communicate assertively and confidently with well-known, successful people."
The latter has been the most challenging for her. "I was not very assertive before starting this internship," she confesses. Sukey worked with Michael Krasny to help produce Forum, a weekday morning show heard by people around the world, which explores issues of local and international interest. Sukey also contacted prospective guests for interviews and assisted in researching show content. Through Michael's encouragements she was able to come up with her own ideas for shows.
"Career Services assisted me in pinpointing an internship at and tailoring my application specifically for KQED," recalls Sukey, "Thanks to the Career Services office, I am now an Advanced Intern with Forum on KQED! I received assistance in rewriting my resume, which was a mess of too much information and poor organization." Sukey confesses that when she first heard about the internship requirement she was a bit irritated, and thought, "I don't have any time for that!" But since working at KQED, her point of view has drastically changed: "This internship experience has been great, and I think it is one of the most valuable things I have done while at Dominican, and I highly recommend it to all my fellow students."

As an International Studies major, Sarah Miller was fortunate enough to participate in two trade related internships during her time at Dominican University of California. Sarah's first internship was at TransFair USA, the leading fair trade certification agency in the United States! Her second was at the United States Commercial Service (Department of Commerce). Sarah believes that these experiences provided invaluable experience to launch a career in trade and led to her current position with UBIFRANCE – the French Embassy Trade Department in downtown San Francisco -- where she consults with French startup companies in technology and helps with their business developments in the United States.
Sarah explains that "the Career Services office offered great help in obtaining both of [her] internships." Sarah visited the Dominican University Career Services office and received "invaluable advice on resume writing and review, cover letter writing, job resources and career counseling." Sarah highly recommends that students visit the Career Services office at least once to help get on the right track towards a successful future. Sarah looks forward to a career in international business consulting experience and admits, "I could not have gained such a position without the guidance and support of Dominican's Career Services office."
Ben Whiteman, a Business Administration major, chose an internship with Ghilotti Bros. Inc., one of the leading construction companies in the Bay Area. Ben values his internship as "truly priceless." The most invaluable part of his internship was the real life application of material covered in class. He explains that "interning gave [him] the opportunity to not only apply the concepts that [he] learned in the classroom, but also gain knowledge from the workplace, and Ghilotti Bros. Inc. was a great place to learn exactly how a successful business operates."
"The value and experiences from this internship are ones I will never forget and I know I will apply [for a job] in the near future and would advise interested students to familiarize themselves with the world of construction before applying/interviewing," suggests Ben, "Career Services has always been a great place to go to find upcoming internships, job openings, and more. They provided the support and knowledge necessary to complete my internship from start to finish. No matter what the issue was, the Career Services staff always found a way to help."

Dear Musicians\ producers,
My name is Carolyn McDonough I am a fellow medical marijuana supporter I have also spoke at harvest festival in Madison Wisconsin as to how it helps my multiple scleroses. I have also been to pa regrettably I was only able to talk to bucks county because I don't drive so I could not get rides. Although there has been no change in Wisconsin legislation pa has changed a bit. But I am contacting all of you or producing companies because I feel that change should be here now! I also believe that all of you belove it should be legalized also. What I'm going to pitch to you is a proposal to help NORML , IMMLY become a national movement with a big boom. We to stomp in all states and end the prohibition of marijuana for medical use and recreational. Before we can get recreational use we have to have medical. I have been writing poetry for legalization. I regrettably had my brother produce 2 songs one of them isn't about my issue at hand but I wrote and let him tweek if you would like to Liston its on sounclick.
thanks for letting me put this out there and for your time
friends know me as

Looking for your thoughts on the use of an AirGenerate water heater that preheats the water before it hits a Marathon water heater that boosts the water temperature to 120-130 degrees Fahrenheit. The idea is that the AirGenerate water heater works exclusively in economy mode (heat pump only) maximizing efficiency while the Marathon acts as a fail/safe booster tank that ensures adequate hot water supply in any situation. The two tank system is borrowed from solar thermal water heater installations.
I talked to some home performance contractors recently about efficient water heater solutions in all electric homes. All electric homes are electricity to heat the home and the hot water. Some home performance contractors have run into the issue that their chosen heat pump water heater could not supply sufficient quantities of hot water in homes with 5 or more adults. The recovery of the heat pump water heater was simply to slow to supply hot water for back to back showers. At least of the heat pump water heaters needed to be pulled due to customer dissatisfaction.
One of the contractors came up with the two tank solution: AirGenerate water heater (pre-heater) + Marathon water heater (booster tank)
Seems to me like a decent solution for larger households with electric water heating needs.
Efficiency nerd. I like to keep my money in my pockets.
Energy efficiency and water conservation aspects should be automatically incorporated into product design.

I have been working at Primerica part-time for less than a year
Pros – Make your own hours, that is about all
Cons – This position is a joke, multi-level marketing at its best. Coming out of college this company has a great sales pitch but turnover rate is ridiculous. I would make my culture and values rating negative if I could. Reading through the reviews its funny that all the 5 star ratings come from the regional managers who are trying to suck you in. There are other more reputable companies out there, do not waste your time with this one.
Advice to Senior Management – Choose a new business stategy.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

For many of us, going on vacation doesn't necessarily mean taking a trip.
Going on vacation can simply mean chillin' at home -- going out to eat, doing some fun things in town and maybe getting a few household chores done.
We're so glad someone invented a name for this kind of non-travelin' vacation: The Staycation.
This week's Readers' Choice focuses on Best Staycation Destinations. Beginning today -- Monday, May 7 -- and through 5 p.m. Wednesday, May 9, we'll be asking for your recommendations for places to go in Westlake while on a staycation.
Where to go on a staycation? A local putt-putt course ... the historical society ... a bowling alley ... the spa ... the video arcade. These are places where you can relax and have a little fun.
Give us your recommendation in the comments section below. With your help, we'll put together a list of nominees. Then look for our poll on Thursday, May 10 and vote! We'll select a winner at 5 p.m. Friday, May 11 and announce it in a story on Saturday, May 12.
In judging, we'll consider comments, poll votes and reviews in our complete directory of local businesses. Be sure to check out our contest rules in the PDF at right.

you can not wet vent a kitchen sink with a bathroom group.
also, the lav trap arm should be vented before it turns downward.
I know I'm pushing the limits for a plumbing system but would like a second opinion on a remodel plumbing tie in. Do to limited existing space and that the floor is a slab on grade this should work, though what I'm concern about is the back up up pressure if all fixture are feeding at the same time into this system. If you need more information I'm grad to provide it. Thanks
I have attached a photo:

The lavatory drain cannot turn down into the branch drain like you have it. It will need it's own vent, which could turn and tie into the kitchen vent once it is higher that 42". The trap arm will need to be a little higher to get a sanitary tee in there, and hopefully that will work on your lavatory. You will probably have to rework the supplies to get the vent past the copper too.
There is just too much crap going on in that location. I knew that was most likely what was needed though I was hoping since I had a 2" horizontal waste line at 1/4" slope and the lavatory was wet venting under 48" to the stack and that there was the additional vent I might had the required air break but you are right if I have fixture running at the same time there is chance the system could fill to the point it would create a vacuum on the lavatory drain. OK, I will have to move things and do some tile work in the existing bathroom, which I was trying to avoid.
IT would take some drilling, but I could revise it "properly" without doing ANY tile work. Having a 2" opening for the kitchen sink just creates a 'size' problem that could cause difficulties if space becomes tight in the cabinet. You have fallen into the same "trap" that many DIYers do. The fact that a vent is withing 60" of a drain does NOT automatically make it right. It depends on HOW the piping is arranged within that 60" that determines "legality".

I would be asking why there is such a large void under the toilet flange, and why is it so wet? Did you say there's a 30- year old
lead bend going down under the flange? Hmmm, do you think it could possibly be leaking? Hmmm, Hmmm!
We have a 30 year old house and finally decided to change out the toilet in the half bath. It showed an intermittent leak by the grout line (tile floor). Due to the no smell and lack of consistency, this was not seen as a concern for a long while.
We installed a Champion 4 Max and watched it for several days (without caulking it) for observation. On day 4 we noticed the grout being slightly wet in one spot. We pulled it and reset it 3 times with the leak worsening each time. We started testing with tissue paper glided under it to see if it was wet, so we were noticing the water sooner than if we just waited for it to appear on the floor. We checked for leaks at the tank or water supply - none.
We called a plumber who reset it and left the grout off for our observation. Next day -- wet again. We called him back. He checked for leaks at the tank or water supply - none. He pulled the toilet -- wax ring sealed well -- and based on some streaks on the underside, concluded there was a crack in the bowl.
We exchanged the bowl for another Champion 4 Max. Before installing the new one -- the plumber suggested we do it ourselves because it looked like we set successful wax rings -- we noticed bad glazing and returned it. We changed to the Delta Prelude based on recommendation and report of success by the plumber. One day after installation, the Prelude had water under it as well. We pulled the toilet and set it in the garage and put water and blue food coloring in it -- no bowl leak and no cracks observed. We reinstalled it. Again, there was water under the toilet. We checked for leaks at the tank or water supply - none. But we saw large condensation droplets all over the underside (inside where it is not smoothly glazed).
We called the plumber again. He investigated it, did blue dye test, checked for water leak by checking meter, and checked floor temperature.
1) Water is not from the flush -- it takes time for it to appear.
2) Water is not blue, even though we are flushing blue water. (I have verified that the tissue will show pale blue if I dip it in blue water.)
3) One floor tile is 81 degrees while the rest are 70-71 degrees. This single warm tile is where a hot water pipe goes to the washer in the next room.
4) There is missing concrete where the lead pipe leads through the foundation (slab). Hence there is space between the plumbing pipe and the foundation. This is covered by the wax ring when it is spread with toilet placement, but it is still of interest.
5) Warm air from earth below foundation is working its way through this space to enter the underside space of the bowl and is causing condensation under the bowl. This drips eventually to cause a puddle (noted each time we pull the toilet) about 1 inch in front of the closet flange. Eventually, if left long enough, it will drip down the sides (inside) of the bowl and a tissue touched just beneath the side of the bowl will absorb it, before it is leaking out.
Recommendation by plumber is to fill the gap between the pipe and the foundation with cement or something to prevent the warm air from the heated earth from coming through this space and causing condensation on the underside of the bowl.
Steps Taken & Results:
1) Put concrete caulk around pipe. It fell 'to China'.
2) Squeezed in cement around pipe. A lot of cement due to its falling 'to China' multiple times. Let this set for 2 days but it started settling also -- but was still in sight.
3) Dug out cement (which was still damp) and filled with spray foam sealant. Still had some tiny crevices visible but they also had foam under them so we were not certain if air came through.
4) Tested it for condensation formation using a glass bowl inverted over drain. (Sewer pipe is plugged for gas escape but testing the crack around it). Heavy condensation over whole bowl with dripping down to floor.
5) Smeared crevices with Loctite putty. Tested with bowl again, less condensation (fine mist on 1/2 of bowl with no dripping). Puttied more... and more until we had no condensation. None until 3 days ago when it rained and a very fine mist formed and it resolved itself (no drip and total dissipation on its own).
6) Reset toilet with high hopes at 7AM yesterday. Filled with water and added blue coloring to bowl. Flushed - checked - nothing. 8AM - checked again - nothing. Checked again at 9PM - wetness about 1 inch in front of flange as well as closer to flange (based on insertion depth of tissue under bowl). Water appears to be condensation because it is clear not blue. (Of course we had a light rain yesterday and all night -- for a change.)
What next? This has been going in for 1 month. We have concluded the original problem was probably condensation as well. We could just caulk it and ignore it... we have a slab with tile -- no sub-flooring to rot... But it seems mold and fungus would grow. We asked our plumber if we were expecting too much for it to be dry underneath. He answered 'no - not at all -- it would grow (stuff)'...
Side notes:
1) We have cast iron plumbing beneath house and had lines checked 1 year ago for roots, leaks, etc by Roto-Rooter camera -- nothing was found. That was when we had initial concern based on smell in another bath -- resolved with drain cleaner, Bio-Rooter, applied monthly.
2) Sewer flies invaded the 1/2 bath currently in question -- which is why we pressed getting new toilet to begin with...
3) My niece had this happen in a house in Austin, TX, and it seems their plumber sealed it. She is not sure how, but seemed to think just around the bowl. (Caulking it in??)
Any suggestions would be welcomed...

I thought I had that covered from the roto rooter camera work. But I have been thinking of calling them again. Thanks!

Explanation of broadband terms
- Mobile phone technology that includes services and applications with faster access to the web.
- Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line - the technology that allows you to receive broadband using existing telephone networks. It works like a very fast telephone line that is always connected to the internet. By converting data more efficiently over a wider frequency range than a computer´s modem, ADSL makes the line much faster.
- Asynchronous transfer mode. This is a way of transferring voice, video and data over a high-speed network.
- Bandwidth:
- This is the amount of data that can be transferred over a connection usually expressed in bits/bytes per second (bps).
- Be Box modem:
- Part of the Be broadband range of packages, the Be Box Modem is a wireless router that is ADSL enabled and provides voice over IP functions for home and office users.
- Bit:
- This is a single unit of data — and in broadband terms this means the unit of transmitted data. A kilobit (Kb) is 1,000 bits. A megabit (Mb) is 1,000,000 bits.
- Broadband:
- Broadband is a faster version of the internet that works at higher speeds because of an increased bandwidth. The most commonly used form is ADSL (Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line) which is an upgraded home telephone line that remains connected so there is no need to dial it up each time and you can make phone calls while using the internet. Broadband can also be obtained through cable TV or satellite.
- Broadband/Landline bundle:
- An all-inclusive package in which you pay for both broadband and line rental together.
- BT Home Hub:
- A wireless internet router available from BT.
- BT Hub Phone:
- This is a digital cordless phone that allows you to make low cost calls over the BT Broadband Talk service.
- BT Vision:
- A digital television service offered by BT. The set-top box includes access to the video on demand service. The service works with a BT Home Hub.
- Bundle:
- This is effectively a package deal. For example, with mobile phones you could get a text and minutes bundle offering you call-time and text messages for a predetermined fee. A broadband bundle could be a combination of broadband and line rental, for example.
- Cable broadband:
- Much like cable television and telephone services, broadband is carried through a fibre optic cable buried under the ground.
- Chatroom:
- An online area, or part of a website, where two or more people can ´talk´ in real time by typing messages.
- Contract:
- The deal you make with the broadband provider. They agree to supply the service, and you agree to stay with them, for a set period of time — usually twelve or eighteen months.
- Convergence:
- The unification of services such as Orange combining its mobile phone and broadband operations to offer cheaper deals.
- Data:
- A general term for videos, text, pictures or sound stored on, processed, sent or received by your computer.
- Dial-up internet:
- This is when your computer calls your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as you connect to the internet — this can normally be heard with a dialling tone. This means you have to establish a new connection each time rather than staying online as with broadband.
- Download:
- Moving files from the internet on to your PC.
- Download restriction:
- The amount of data you are restricted to over a set period. For example a broadband package could offer a 3GB download restriction meaning you are limited to 3GB over a predetermined (usually monthly) period.
- Downstream:
- This is data that goes from the internet to your computer — so for example emails, downloading from the internet, etc.
- Digital Subscriber Line - this technology transfers data over a phone line without interference.
- This is technology used at a phone company´s central office that connects the carrier to the subscriber loop and in turn the customer´s PC.
- An Ethernet Optical Network. For a full description of Ethernet, see the next term.
- Ethernet:
- This is a network standard for data transmission, most commonly used on local area networks (LANs) such as in the workplace. New systems are now capable of running at 1,000Mbps.
- Exchange:
- The service area that your connection is associated with. For example if you are unable to receive broadband where you live it is because you are not within range of a broadband exchange.
- File transfer protocol — a process of obtaining and uploading files to and from the internet.
- Standing for Global Positioning System. This allows the user to know exactly where they are on earth and is now used within mobile-broadband technology.
- Internet protocol:
- This enables information to be routed from one network to another. The information is sent in packets and then reassembled into information when it reaches its destination.
- Instant messaging:
- A service that allows you to ´chat´ with another internet user in real time by typing.
- IP address:
- An individual number attributed to every computer on the internet for identification purposes.
- Internet Service Provider - the company that supplies your connection.
- Landline:
- is the telephone line in a home — not a mobile, but a routed line.
- Local Loop Unbundling - when a provider rents space from the exchange and then sells its own services on the line.
- Migration Authorisation Code - allows you to migrate from one broadband provider to another.
- Mbps
- Megabits per second. This measures how quickly data can be transmitted.
- Mobile/Broadband bundle:
- Basically an all-inclusive package in which you pay for both broadband and mobile phone network charges together.
- Modem:
- The device that allows your PC to connect to the internet via your telephone line — previously they had to be plugged in, but now they are inbuilt within computers.
- Multiple port router:
- This is a switch and a router sold in a single package.
- Orange Livebox:
- A VoiP service offered by Orange that allows users to make calls over the internet for less. You simply plug your phone into the livebox - you don´t have to have your computer switched on and you can even use your home phone line at the same time.
- Pay-as-you-go broadband:
- This means you only pay for your actual usage — that is, downloads and uploads, looking at websites, emails, etc. You pay based on the time you spend online.
- Ping:
- When a message is sent to another computer and the command waits for a response. This is a method often used to check if a network is reachable.
- Protocol:
- A command sent from one computer/network to another.
- Quad play:
- A combination of broadband, television, mobile phone and landline phone services. This was first offered by Virgin Media in 2007.
- Router:
- With a router you can set up your own home network because it will buffer and forward data. It connects the Internet Service Provider´s network together with the LAN at home through a single broadband domain. So instead of paying for a connection for each PC, the router allows you to put your home network on the same connection.
- Satellite broadband:
- An alternative to ADSL that uses a satellite connection to provide a permanent connection to the internet.
- Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line - allows more data to be sent over existing copper telephone lines at rates up to 3Mbps.
- See Surf Speak:
- A range of products offered by Sky that combine television (see), broadband (surf) and phone (speak) services.
- Speed:
- The rate at which you can receive downloads. For broadband, the connection is normally at least 256kbps and can be as much as 24Mbps.
- Streaming:
- Allows the user to watch/listen to a download as the download commences in the background. This is most common with live streaming, such as with commentary from sports events, etc.
- Switch:
- Of course this can mean to move from one broadband provider to another, for example "I switched from BT to Sky". However, a switch is also a term for a device that connects local area networks.
- Unlimited download:
- This means you can download as much as you like — ideal for heavy users such as online gamers.
- Upload:
- Transferring files from your computer to the internet.
- Usage cap:
- With some broadband packages you are limited to the amount you can download over a set period. This will be outlined in your contract.
- on a range of Virgin products, with V+ you can pause and rewind live TV as well as recording two programmes and watching a third.
- Virgin Central:
- A TV channel that offers Virgin´s video on demand service. By pressing a button a viewer can access an on-screen guide and view different episodes of a show they can select. A user can also stop, rewind and pause the TV show, much like using a DVD player.
- A virtual local area network. This is a network of computers that behaves as though they are connected to the same wire even though they might actually be on different sections of the LAN.
- Video on Demand - a technology or service that allows a video feed to be called on near instantaneously for viewing, usually for a fee.
- VoIP:
- Voice Over Internet Protocol — allowing you to make long distance phone calls using your computer.
- Web n Walk:
- A T-Mobile package that gives the user unlimited broadband internet access on a mobile phone and laptop for a monthly fee.
- Wireless broadband:
- This is when a broadband connection is formed without wires such as when using a laptop or through a mobile phone. Wireless networks can be set up using radio waves to link users.

Woman charged with falsely accusing officer of assault7:27 pm | October 19, 2012
Elizabethton Police have arrested a woman they say falsely claimed an officer assaulted her during a traffic stop and stalked her.
Tiffany D. Scalf, 23, 308 Johnson Ave., Elizabethton, was taken into custody Friday on a charge of filing a false report.
On Thursday, Oct. 11, Scalf had told police she had been assaulted by an EPD officer, according to a report filed by Capt. Joy Markland. Scalf told police a male officer stopped her vehicle in an Elizabethton parking lot.
Scalf said the officer, who was in "plain clothes," ordered the woman to exit her vehicle, at which time he pushed her against her vehicle, according to Markland.
Police said the accused officer had actually not been working and was out of town. Video surveillance of the parking lot was viewed and Markland said there was no traffic stop seen.
For more details into the incident, see and read Sunday's Elizabethton STAR.

Fast Company
In The Future, Your Car Will Be More Plant Than Machine
Ford is using organically derived materials all over their cars. Why? Because oil is too expensive.
Car companies haven't come up with a plant-like replacement for vehicle engines, but they are using more bio-based materials in their vehicles--because the automakers of the world are more aware than anyone that the world is running out of oil.
This week, Ford--the auto industry's plant cheerleader--announced that it is researching the use of dandelion root in parts of its cars' interiors. That's just one biological element you might start seeing in Ford's cars.
"In theory, anytime you can grow something as opposed to paying for it to be shipped, the better the economic cost," explains Angela Harris, Ford's lead research engineer, in an email to Fast Company.
The dandelions will be used as a rubber replacement in the car company's cupholders, interior trim, and floor mats. The key to the research is a species of Russian dandelion, Taraxacum kok-saghyz, that contains a milky-white substance which could could be an ideal replacement for synthetic rubber.
"This variety of dandelion is much hardier than the kind typically found in our backyards," Harris says in a press release. "It's strange to see weeds being grown in perfectly manicured rows in a greenhouse, but these dandelions could be the next sustainable material in our vehicles."
Ford has already replaced petroleum-based foam with soy foam in many of its vehicles. The feature has helped the company reduce its annual petroleum oil usage by over 3 million pounds.
The company is also experimenting with wheat straw--a byproduct of growing and processing wheat--as a plastic reinforcement in the storage bins of the Ford Flex. The odorless wheat straw plastic has demonstrated better integrity than non-reinforced plastic,and it weighs up to 10% less than talc or glass-reinforced plastic.
So why is Ford so gung ho about plants? "Oil prices are extremely volatile," Harris says. "Suppliers may be able to lock in lower costs of plant-based products as those sources would be more stable in cost--ideally it would be a win-win from a business and an environmental standpoint."
There is no small irony in the fact that Ford is trying to eliminate oil from its production process while selling us cars that run on it. Then again, Ford doesn't have to pay for our gas.

The irony? A little research will remind people that Henry Ford had built a car entirely out of plant-based materials released in 1941. Let's just go beyond transcribing press releases, shall we?
And now that plant-based materials make more economic sense, Ford is trying to scale up and smooth over that early work.

It surprised me to find that there is no simple way to find out when a .NET assembly was built. You can work it out from the revision number (provided you only use the "standard" numbering scheme) but it's not obvious. This provides a simple way to timestamp individual assemblies at build time.

The Biology Department is housed in a modern science facility, the Zeis Science and Multimedia Building, which opened in 2009. This 86,000 square-foot facility provides state-of-the art teaching and research labs for students.
The biology faculty includes specialists in the fields of vertebrate and invertebrate zoology, botany, herpetology, ecology, evolution, animal behavior, human anatomy and physiology, animal and plant physiology, cellular and molecular biology, microbiology, and genetics. You will find that we work closely together, and are always available to assist you. One advantage of a small department such as ours is the opportunity for individual attention; you will get to know and work with each of your professors. Although we represent diverse specialties, we each work toward a common goal of quality education for our students.
One unique aspect of our program of study is the opportunity for ecological field work in the many natural areas that are within easy travel distance from Asheville. These include more than one million acres of national parks and national forests that are within a one-hour drive of campus. You may also have the chance to travel to the deserts, tropics, or coast for an on-site ecology course. Our students benefit greatly from field experience, which supplements and enhances our laboratory and research thrust.
The Biology Department encourages student participation in activities which strengthen scientific awareness and learning outside the classroom. Missing Links, the biology club, provides opportunities for you to interact with other biology students and faculty in service and social activities. We encourage you to explore the navigation links that provide more detailed information about our faculty, students, and learning environment.
