April 15 2014 BOOKLIST
April 2014
Find more The Back Page
In 2013, I'm making some changes in my reading life. As Back Page followers know, every January I devote this column to surveying the favorite personal reading—books not read for review—of the Booklist staff. For the second year in a row, I was not able to contribute to my own column for the simple reason that I didn't do any personal reading in the entire year. I did read quite a few books, of course, but every one of them was intended for review. I say intended because there is still a sizeable pile of books sitting on the floor of my office waiting to be reviewed. This sorry state of affairs can be blamed in part on Booklist Online. Thanks to the recent addition to our Booklist Online Exclusives e-newsletter of a feature called "Second Looks," in which we review older books meriting a reappraisal, I find myself obligated to review even the books I pick up for fun. This insidious development is a perfect example of being seduced by your job. No more. This is the year I prove to myself that I'm made of sterner stuff.
Carrying through with this resolution will require constant vigilance. Here's an example of how it can all go bad. Last September, I picked up a copy of John D. MacDonald's Darker Than Amber in a used bookstore in San Francisco, thinking it would be fun to revisit the Travis McGee mystery series, which I had loved in the 1970s. A perfect example of personal reading, right? Ah, but then I had the idea of reading all 21 McGee novels and reviewing them in the Second Looks column. My Travis McGee project was born, but my opportunity to enjoy some purely personal reading was gone. Thank you, Booklist. This year, though, will be very different. Projects be damned!
So what am I going to be reading once I escape the review-everything mentality? A quick scan of a dusty shelf in my home office gives the answers. This is the shelf where I put non-Booklist material I dream of reading. Naturally, it's the dustiest shelf in my dusty office because it is so rarely disturbed. First on the list is Don DeLillo's Underworld, a novel I have been almost wistfully hoping to read since it was published in 1997. (Happily, Donna Seaman's insightful Booklist review still stands proudly online and requires no second looks.) I admit to being a bit intimidated by DeLillo; he's one of those writers, like Thomas Pynchon, whom I'm never quite sure I'm grown up enough to read. Still, Underworld begins at the Polo Grounds in 1951, during the pennant play-off game between the Giants and Dodgers, the game in which Bobby Thomson's walk-off home run, the "shot heard 'round the world," gave the pennant to the Giants, a mere three years before I would adopt that Willie Mays–led team as my favorite. I know, of course, that Underworld isn't really a baseball book—I remember only too well trying to watch The Hunchback of Notre Dame at age 10 because I thought it was about football—but any novel that uses Bobby Thomson's homer as what Donna calls the "unifying symbol of the story" is a novel I have to read.
Two other books on my too-often-ignored personal-reading shelf are there solely because they were recommended by Booklist columnist David Wright, whose reading tastes are eerily similar to mine. (You know how readers' advisors are supposed to ignore their own favorites and make recommendations only on what they can determine about the patron's taste? Well, if I ever walk into Seattle Public Library and ask David what's good to read, he can ignore everything he's ever learned about R.A. and simply tell me what he's reading at that moment.) David has recommended many books in his "He Reads" column over the years that I have loved myself, but there were two that I hadn't even heard of but that immediately called out to me. I will tell anyone who asks that Robert Mitchum is my favorite actor, so when I read in "He Reads" about Lloyd Robson's Oh Dad! A Search for Robert Mitchum, it was as if David were writing directly to me. David calls the book "less a biography than a gonzo quest for the inmost poetic soul lurking beneath Mitchum's machismo and drowsy disdain." I don't know if I could possibly like the book any more than I like David's phrase "drowsy disdain," but I can't wait to find out.
The other David Wright recommendation that immediately leaped onto my dustiest shelf is an Italian crime novel by Carlo Emilio Gadda called That Awful Mess on the Via Merulana. (And isn't that the best damn title you've heard in maybe forever?) Published in 1957 but written immediately after WWII, the novel concerns two crimes committed in the same Rome apartment house within a matter of days. Long before we started calling books "literary thrillers," Gadda apparently was melding philosophy and crime in the manner of his fellow Italian Umberto Eco but doing it not in a fourteenth-century abbey but on the gritty streets of postwar Rome. Like Underworld, this one looks a little daunting (call me a philistine, but I'm not a fan of two-page paragraphs). Nevertheless, the idea of a novel that anticipates much of what I like best in contemporary crime fiction—melancholy detectives, the sense that solutions solve nothing—has me wanting to know more.
I admit that resolving to read three books for purely personal enjoyment is not all that impressive a goal, but I need to start somewhere. And, besides, I'm also determined to watch all 50 of John Mort's "50 Greatest Western Movies," a list that appeared in the August 2013 Booklist. A reminder: don't expect to be reading reviews by me of any of these books or movies. This stuff is personal.

November 8, 2012
(AP) - A group of students at the University of Virginia is seeking the resignation of Rector Helen Dragas.
The group called Hoos University plans to hold a protest at noon Thursday at the Rotunda. Following the protest, the students plan to march to the Harrison Institute and deliver an open letter about their concerns to the Board of Visitors.
In addition to Dragas' resignation, the group wants a complete explanation of the board's failed attempt to oust President Teresa Sullivan this summer. It also is seeking public discussion of U.Va.'s employment practices.
Organizer and graduate student Austin Hetrick tells the Richmond Times-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/T6ydZW ) that the university needs reforms that have a more lasting impact that only protecting the president.

Core of Chick-fil-A protest
It is not free speech that has ruffled our feathers. It's that Chick-fil-A has donated millions of dollars to hateful organizations. Organizations such as the Family Research Council, who, in 2010, spent $25,000 lobbying Congress not to condemn Uganda's "Kill the gays" bill. What is wrong with simply not wanting our money forwarded to such organizations? That is the reasoning behind the boycott.

Designing for the wrong target audience (or why Drupal should be a developer tool and not a consumer product)
As you may know, I spent a few months this year working with
It is all to easy to make excuses for why designing in an open source community can be tough. Certainly there are lots of communication challenges and we don't necessarily have the right tools. Some people focus on the relationship between designers (minority) and developers (majority) in these communities – I think to do so is to focus on a symptom of the problem and not the cause.
We faced many challenges with the
It would be very easy to take this personally and to argue about the details of the way the design works (and I most definitely include Information Architecture when I say design). This would also be a fairly typical Drupal thing to do. Actually, I think almost all the issues stem from a much more fundamental place – defining the real purpose of Drupal and it's real primary target audience.
From the very outset our goal with D7UX was to make Drupal more accessible to people outside of the Drupal community and less technical people – people who didn't even know what PHP was let alone how to code it.
There is one big problem with this approach, particularly if it touches the very core of Drupal. The changes that are required to the interface to really achieve the goal that we were tasked with – to really make Drupal understandable to Verity & Jeremy has the consequence of making Drupal a less efficient and enjoyable place for Drupal developers to build cool stuff.
Drupal developers (and some designers!) who want to build cool things with Drupal are the core of the Drupal community. They are the people who make Drupal the incredibly vibrant community that it is. Without these people, Drupal becomes a shadow of it's current self. These people are more than an important audience, they are the most important audience. What this audience wants is not Drupal as a product that Verity & Jeremy can use out of the box, they want a developer toolkit that gives them more and more flexibility and capability to build cool stuff, and to push Drupal way beyond the realms of a simple Content Management System.
And so we have this tension. Drupal as a 'Consumer Product' and Drupal as a 'Developer Framework'. Currently, the official direction is that the project is going to attempt to be both. I think this is a serious problem.
The target audiences for each of these objectives are so far removed from each other in terms of their tasks & goals, their capabilities, their vocabulary, their priorities. An attempt to devise an interface to suit both will result in an outcome that I expect we'll see in the release of Drupal 7 – that is a compromise to both parties. Verity is still going to need a lot of support to get anything done in Drupal 7. If Drupal 7 had been designed primarily as developer tool, it would be a much more focussed and efficient tool for developers. As it is now, it is hopefully an improvement on Drupal 6, but certainly not the best that it could be for developers.
For Drupal to really succeed, a decision has to be made, and I think there is only one decision that can be made. Drupal 8 should be designed with developers as the primary target audience and the language, tools, interface should be designed to support them in their goals of building really amazing stuff using Drupal.
That doesn't mean that there is not still a lot of work for the User Experience people in the Drupal community to do – there is still an enormous learning curve even for those new to Drupal who have great PHP and other technical skills. It's going to be much easier to address that learning curve with a more finely targeted audience in mind – or more importantly, with the right target audience in mind.
So what of Verity & Jeremy? How will they ever come to know and love Drupal?
There are a number of ways that we can address the experience of non-technical users of Drupal and to 'productise' Drupal as a content management system. The most obvious is to design and develop an admin theme that is specifically targeted at these end users that can be applied by developers once the development work is done and the site is being handed over for administration.
I'm not sure where the incentive to design and develop this theme comes from (given that it doesn't exist today it strikes me that there is a problem here incentive-wise).
There are also opportunities to be explored with installation profiles (see above though re: the fact that they don't really exist now and no one seems motivated to work on them, where is the incentive?).
And, of course, we have the emergence of tools such as Buzzr from Lullabot and Gardens from Acquia, perhaps also products like Open Atrium from Development Seed can included in this list.
A tough decision but a necessary one
I know that for many people the idea of making a Drupal that Verity can love, making something that can actively compete from a UX perspective with the likes of WordPress, is a grand aspiration. So it is, but unfortunately I also think it is the wrong aspiration for Drupal core.
The sooner we focus on the core target audience of Drupal core – the developers – and commit to making a user experience that supports them in their use of Drupal, the sooner we'll really have actually achieved a really Great User Experience for Drupal.
If that is really our goal, then let's get focussed, let's re-write the design strategy and principles, and let's take the work we've done already and refocus it more tightly on the community we know and love. Focussing on the strength of Drupal and then looking for new and innovative ways to create and motivate the Drupal community to do a better job of looking after our Verity's and our Jeremy's.


text: Curt Arens Archives Email Author Pumping Up Production on Valuable Cool Season Pastures Husker Home Place New products, fertilizer and good grazing management build cool season pasture production. Published on: May 7, 2012 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Blog RSS Permalink Print Land prices are high. Real estate taxes are climbing. With record commodity prices these days, large numbers of cool season pastures have been turned over and converted into grain production. For farmers who have retained their pastureland, because of marginal ground or the need for grazing or hay, it's important to get the most out of the grassland when competition for land is so fierce and the price of maintaining land is so high. I attended a cool season forages field day near Garrison recently, and learned that many of the new bio-stimulant products, managed grazing, as well as properly timed fertilization, can enhance production on these pastures. BOOSTING BROME: UNL Extension educator, Mike Rethwisch (right) discusses new products that could boost brome and other cool season forages. You'll read more about the results in an upcoming summer issue of Nebraska Farmer, but I wanted to give you a preview. University of Nebraska Extension educator for Butler County, Mike Rethwisch, has been working with bio-stimulant products on corn and soybeans over the past couple of years. So, the research he and UNL Extension forage specialist, Bruce Anderson, are studying on pastures is a natural progression of that work. While the final results won't be in until later in the summer, early observations have proven that a product called RyzUp Smartgrass, a naturally occurring plant growth regulator, applied alone or in combination with fertilizer or other products, has great potential for enhancing grass growth. Other products in the study also showed some promise. Although more work needs to be done to study the results, it appears that foliar treatments of such products might help forage production after a cutting of hay or grazing for a period of time. Maybe they would enhance growth in paddocks as the herd is rotated around a pasture. FERTILIZING PROPERLY: UNL Extension forage specialist, Bruce Anderson (center) discusses proper grazing management and fertilization. Anderson commented on the products during the tour, but also gave some basic advice on fertilizing pastures. He noted that phosphorus is often a forgotten nutrient for pasture fertilization. Anderson said that phosphorus works in tandem with nitrogen when they are applied together, so producers should take soil samples of their pastures every so often to see if some phosphorus is needed, or if a short supply of phosphorus could be limiting the response seen with nitrogen applications. He also suggested that timing fertilizer applications on cool season grasses early in the growing season is best. Warm season grasses shouldn't be fertilized until later in the spring. There may also be a valuable response to fall applications. In any case, it does no good, according to Anderson, to promote grass growth through bio-stimulants or fertilizer, unless you are planning some kind of managed or rotational grazing system to take full advantage of harvesting the extra production.

I have been wearing these lenses for a year now and I have to say they stay moister than any other lenses I have tried. I do take them out every night and the times I have fallen asleep in them overnight have not been comfortable. I still occasionally have to use lens moistener, but usually not earlier than 11 or midnight, having had them on since 7AM. I never clean them (don't tell my doctor) and I put on a new pair every month. My vision is still not 20/20, but it is as close as I think I will get in soft contacts.

I'm kicking myself for not trying these contacts out before I made a purchase, because it was a big waste of money and I had to throw them out since I couldn't wear them. The only reason I took the risk in just buying them was because so many people had posted great reviews, but they were so uncomfortable for me. Plus my vision was blurred if I wore them for more than 2 hrs. I couldn't wait to get these out of my eyes and throw them away. I actually gave them a try for 3 days thinking maybe I just needed to get use to them. Nope! I think it's because they're so thick. I guess I'm just not use to them. I'm so sorry I ever switched from my Acuvue Oaysis for astigmatism. I didn't realize how good my contacts really were. I never would of switched, but my friend told me how she could sleep in her Pure Vision contacts (which I would never do anyways) but I thought that meant they were much better. Maybe the non astigmatism ones are better, but these ones were awful. These contacts put me in a bad mood since I was constantly irritated with how they felt and the blurred vision. With Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism I hardly feel I'm wearing contacts and sometimes I forget I have them. I couldn't wait to get my old contacts back.

Motor City Pride Celebrates 43 Years Of Community
The Motor City Pride Festival and Parade celebrates its 43rd anniversary Saturday, June 7 and Sunday, June 8, 2014. Held at Detroit's beautiful Hart Plaza, the annual event attracts thousands of attendees to the live music, DJs, vendors and food. The festival is the largest LGBT celebration in Michigan.
Victim advocacy: restoring the balance of justice
As March was coming to a close, many of us were out celebrating Michigan's advancements in marriage equality. A transgender women in her late twenties was shopping in Metro Detroit having a far different experience. She was humiliated and demeaned by store employees while trying on clothes in a department store dressing room. In response, the store manager offered her a gift certificate and a nasty attitude hoping to make it all go away. Equality Michigan is working with her to restore the balance of justice and ensure more happens than just a cheap bribe coated in disgust.
The first step to transgender empowerment is visibility..
Today Equality Michigan joins transgender advocates around the world in celebrating International Transgender Day of Visibility 2014. International Transgender Day of Visibility was created in 2009 by Equality Michigan's friend and colleague - Transgender Michigan's very own Rachel Crandall - as a day to visibly celebrate being transgender and show support for the transgender community.
Department of Justice says YES to over 300 Michigan marriages!
Great news! The US Attorney General Eric Holder this morning released a statement in which he confirmed that the federal government would recognize the over 300 marriages performed in Michigan on Saturday. We are also asking people to take the action to the next level by calling Attorney General Bill Schuette's office directly - (517) 373-1110 - to ask him to drop the appeal!
BTL's Wedding Expo: Like Pride in April
BTL's Wedding Expo is fast approaching! Expo vendors offer a variety of services regardless of wedding plans. Beauty services, restaurants, bakeries and dessert shops, security services, inclusive churches, supportive banks and more are a variety of local and state businesses that will be on site. Networking among LGBT and LGBT-friendly businesses is another great reason to attend the expo, regardless of relationship status. Equality Michigan will be offering support, information and more to all attendees.
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder Says State Will Not Recognize 323 Marriages Performed Saturday
Just minutes ago, while speaking to the press, Michigan's Governor, Rick Snyder, announced that the State of Michigan would not recognize the 323 marriage licenses issued to LGBT couples this past Saturday until the current appeal is concluded. While acknowledging that the licenses were filed lawfully, he said the state would not extend any state rights to those families. The licenses were issued during a one-day window between Judge Friedman's verdict striking down Michigan's ban on marriage equality and the appellate court issuing a stay on the verdict.
Group demands Snyder, Schuette drop gay marriage appeal
Gov. Rick Snyder and Attorney General Bill Schuette should drop their appeal of last Friday's federal judge's ruling and allow gay marriages to proceed, the leader of Equality Michigan, several same-sex couples and elected officials said Tuesday at a Capitol press conference. "Bill Schuette and Gov. Snyder know they are hurting people," said Emily Dievendorf, Equality Michigan's executive director. "We've gone back to the old after one beautiful day."
Marriage Equality Press Conference - Tuesday, March 25, 2014 at 1PM
Press conference on recent DeBoer v. Snyder marriage equality case now before the appeals court following a verdict by Judge Friedman which struck down Michigan's ban on marriage equality. Thousands of people have signed a petition - http://eqmi.us/EndAppeal - asking Governor Snyder and Attorney General Schuette to drop their appeal to the DeBoer v. Snyder case. Equality Michigan will be delivering this petition to Schuette and Snyder's offices. The press conference will also address a request from East Lansing Mayor Nathan Triplett and Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum that was sent on Monday morning to US Attorney General US Attorney General Eric Holder that he declare the close to 300 marriages performed on Saturday as "lawful and considered eligible for all relevant federal benefits." A copy of the letter (PDF) is available online: http://eqmi.us/ByrumTriplett324
TAKE ACTION: Tell Governor Snyder and Attorney General Schuette to drop their appeal against marriage equality

When I started this project things were much simpler (Option had just 1 device for me to play with) but now there are many devices to think about with many different interfaces. This makes finding what you want quite difficult! I find it tricky to remember everything so this site is a public aid to my memory.
With the new site layout and use of web 2.0 technology the information will be easier for you to locate. Hopefully things will begin to make sense.
What Option modem are you using?
People sometimes get confused about what modem they have. Often the company that supplied it will rename the device. The solution is to locate the serial number.
The first 2 letters of the serial number are unique and can be used to identify the device.
Select the serial number here:

Energy Bars-A Weight-Loss Secret WeaponEnergy Bars-A Weight-Loss Secret WeaponDecide whether your bar will be a snack or part of a meal
Whether part of a planned program or eaten on the fly, bars bridge the hunger gap and boost your energy. When you're working on your waistline, today's bars can support your weight-loss efforts, especially when fresh food and refrigeration aren't in easy reach. And when you're in a rush, munching on an energy bar is one of the best stop-gap measures for those sudden "I'm ravenous" moments. Downing a healthy bar can even prevent a "roadside attraction" binge of fries, shakes, or convenience-store goodies like high-calorie, high-fat chips and cookies. In other words, energy bars can be a helpful tool in your diet plan.
Put your hunger behind bars
First, you need to decide whether your bar will be a snack or part of a meal. "If it's a snack, the bars should have less than 180 calories," advises Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, the national media spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association in Chicago. "If it's a meal, the bar should be more than 200 calories and needs to be eaten with fruit and vegetables to satisfy you for four or more hours till you eat again."
In fact, substituting an energy bar-paired with an apple or veggie salad-for one meal each day can help you lose weight. "By adding fruits and vegetables, which are high in fiber and water, you'll feel more full," says Blatner. "This can help accelerate weight loss." If your goal is to drop a few pounds, Blatner says you need to read the nutrient label to make sure your meal-replacing bar contains:
- at least 200 calories
- 3 grams or less saturated fat
- 3 grams or more fiber (to help you feel full)
- at least 10 grams of protein (to help tide you over till your next meal)
Indulge in your favorite flavors
As a general rule, look for bars with the least sugar and the most fiber (in other words, "good carbs") or protein (whatever your preference) to avoid the crash that comes from eating bars that are more like candy disguised in "natural" packaging.
"After you've read the label, it all boils down to personal preference," says Blatner. Love dried berries? Go for a fruity bar. Granola, nut, or yogurt fan? Store shelves are stocked with bars for every discriminating taste. You can take your pick from grain- or yogurt-based, to nut- or fruit-dense bars.
Simply scan the ingredient list for the foods or flavors you fancy and cross-check it with the label's nutrition facts to ensure it fits with your diet goals.
Pick the best bar for the job
As the seemingly endless choices will attest, you can find a bar to fit your evolving healthy lifestyle needs. Lifting weights? Try a high-protein bar favored by weight-trainers to help repair muscle. Love jogging, hiking, and biking? Look for high-carb bars preferred by the distance runners who crave instant energy.
If you're interested in eating fewer preservatives and getting the maximum nutrients from the foods you eat, you might like a raw energy bar. The tastes may vary widely but they are typically packed with robust ingredients such as nuts, nectar, berries, and ginger.Enjoy!Nancy Gottesman, a nutrition writer and mother in southern California, admits to needing way more energy than these bars can provide!

Comments about NEXT PROTEINS MET-Rx® BIG 100 - Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough:
Out of the many, many bars I've tried, this BY FAR surpasses anything else in both protein content AND taste; any other high-protein bars is like eating a bar of clay, and anything that tastes good has very little protein. If the price wasn't so high - same goes for the sugar and fat content - I'd eat one every day.

I take this after working out and it is one of the best bars I have used. It has significant protein, vitamins, and minerals. best of all it doesn't have sugar alcohols.
Only downside is that it takes awhile to chew. The flavor more than makes up for it.

Comments about NEXT PROTEINS MET-Rx® BIG 100 - Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough:
I like it for the same reasons some people DON'T like it. I think the flavor is great. It tastes like cookie dough, but not so rich and sugary that it becomes hard to eat towards the end. I really like the texture too. It is soft but it has crunchy chocolate chips inside.
Try it before you buy it. Most gas stations and grocery stores sell single servings.

Comments about NEXT PROTEINS MET-Rx® BIG 100 - Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough:
I bought a single bar to give it a shot, and I barely managed to finish the thing. The taste was awful at best, and while it may have a lot of great values for vitamins and minerals, the taste for me was unbearable. Add in the factor 25g of sugar being present in the bar, and you've got a bar that isn't near as good as it seems.

Book Safe
Product Details
Book smart
Why play into the hands of a light-fingered pilferer by keeping your valuables in sight? To make it that little bit harder for any chancers, this safe has been shaped as a book to throw them off the scent further. This ingenious Book Safe, by Thumbs Up, has a sturdy lock like a regular safe but its inconspicuous nature means it should be safer than a safe. Who would think to 'break into' a book?
The Book Safe is able to contain most of the valuables you keep lying around the house such as an iPod, mobile phone, credit cards and money, within its deep case. The realistic 'book' cover and spine resembles an actual traditional hardback dictionary and will look at home with other books.
Put this safe in a bookcase with other books and see it blend in - just don't forget which book has the ulterior motive when you need to access your stash in a hurry! And if by chance your sneaky hideout is discovered just remember that a key would still be needed to enter. Fool the sly fox and step up the pretence!
- Box safe disguised as a hardback book
- Enough space to contain music players, purse/wallet, mobile phones, credit cards, keys and money
- English Dictionary cover design
- 2 keys included
- Dimensions: 19 x 12.5 x 6cm

Fun gift
I bought the Book Safe as a gift for my sister and she loved it! It looks very much like a real book when it's on the shelf, although when you hold it you can tell it isn't real as the pages are plastic. It simply opens up and has a safe deposit box inside (which I filled with little trinkets). Unfortunately the one I received was broken, the cover wasn't properly attached to the deposit box, but as I didn't have time to send it back I just glued it back together and it seems fine now. I really like it and would buy again.

Complaint After Complaint
Posted by Fedup10 on 12/26/2011
I'm so tired of complaining about my bill being different every month. I dropped the sports channels last month to reduce my bill as my wife and I are both laid off now. Our bill this month is $17.00 higher than last month. I've spent over 3 hrs. trying to figure out the differences and am still can't figure out what they overcharged me for.
We've called customer service each month for at least the last 3 to 4 months and every time they say our bill will go down. It always go up.
The customer reps are confused as to the meaning of UP & DOWN.
I plan to find a new cable & internet co. ASAP. I truly have never despised a company more than AT&T.

Sometimes the channels you drop are part of a "bundled package" for which you are receiving a discount as a subscriber. Dropping part of that "package" may revert you to paying for the other channels, but not at the previous "bundled" discount, thus costing more. This may be a reason why dropping certain things actually will make your bill increase, rather than decrease.

Good points DrugDoc. "confused as to the meaning of UP & DOWN". They must have kelly Bundy as a CSR.
Posted by Frustrated in Michigan on 2011-12-28:
What is it about AT and T customer service that can make a sane person frustrated beyond words???? I called to switch my service from one house to the next and have a 4 week wait!!! This will put me out of business with my work, kids online school, much less TV and cable....I'm forced to switch cable service to another provider after years of ATT home and cell service, my calls to custmoer service start well but ultimately irriated in the end...no other customer service I call can do this to me...
Posted by SouthFlorida on 2012-04-01:
Uverse is a rip off. I changed my service from comcast over 6 months ago. Picture not as good. If you want HD (who doesn't) you are forced to buy the highest level 450 package. unbundled services are too expensive. ATT raised everyone's rates in our neighborhood. The sales person told me we had fiber. NO we have Fiber 2 blocks away and copper from there. That is not Fiber to the curb or to the home. ATT is a telephone company. They jhave always ripped people off. The ATT mentaility of confuse the customer, hire untrained and unknwoledgable call center support is front and center. Save money LOL

Web Hosting Support
Posted by Scorpion36 on 09/08/2008
I am a potential customer for AT&T's residential web hosting service. I have service with another provider but wanted to explore switching to AT&T.
After being jacked around for 68 minutes, talking to a half-dozen people, I was disconnected without ever speaking once to anyone who seemed to understand--or care about--my request.

BELOW is IDENTICAL to my AT&T experiences.
With ONE exception. "68 minutes" is MUCH shorter than the times I have experienced with this HORRIBLE company.
Seldom does one encounter such pervasive systemic incompetence with any company in USA or in Europe.

It is very frustrating and makes you think that there is apparently no job training required in this company. I have called again since my post, because they failed to live up to their job duties, to complain about customer service and I again was transferred from one person to the other who was unwilling to help and fix the problem. They are the most unprofessional business I have ever delt with.
Posted by Debbie Bullock on 2013-11-27:
I have been without email for 1 month (Nov) I cannot believe how horrible ATT is for hosting my web site and only 1 email address. They changed over some stuff on their end and I have had to chase down my name server and transfet my web hosting name that was apparently with SRS Plus. I am going to cancel ATT and find some place that really can talk to you so you know what is going on still no email for $20.00 a month DONT USE THEM

Rebate (not)
Posted by Jeffreykeh on 10/24/2008
SUNNYVALE, CALIFORNIA -- The deal AT&T Uverse offered to switch to them was $150 in rebate. Well they sent (1) $50 rebate and promised to send the $100 balance. I waited and it never came. When I called to ask about the promised rebate I was told I was too late. My comment that it was ATT's responsibility to mail it to me not for me to pursue it got nowhere.
I found customer service absolutely horrible. Watch it!!!

They lie, cheat and steal
Posted by Dwares1014469 on 08/01/2011
I responded to an AT&T door to door salesperson and signed up for AT&T Uverse. I'd been receiving fantastic offers for over a year, and was ready to switch. I'd used Cox cable, internet and landline phone for years and was relatively happy, but the AT&T Uverse sales pitch was "more and better services for less money." The installation went pretty smoothly, although it took the tech 8 hours to set up 4 TV's, internet and home phone. It then took me a week to get the kinks worked out of e-mail. For business reasons, I use Microsoft Outlook; AT&T doesn't support MS products, but I did finally get my email routed through Outlook. The kids were happy with all the new channels and the DVR on every TV. Then the first bill arrived. $470!!! Granted this was for almost 2 months, but my regular bill was going to be at least $225/month, and the sales person told me my bill would be $130/month. I gather she was reporting only the cost of the TV part of the bundle, but when I've been receiving offers in the mail for the bundle for $100/month for the first year...you could understand how I might have been an easy sucker. So I call the call center and explain my problem. They downgrade me from U300 to U200 service, promise to credit me for the free HBO, and assure me my new bill will only be $100/month. When the new plan arrives via e-mail, low and behold I'm still paying for HBO and it's still $225/month. I look online, and AT&T is advertising the bundle for $89 for the first year. This must be in a parallel universe, because it sure ain't in my Uverse!

I was also in shock when I got my first bill: $445. That is for two months service ($69 ea) and installation. The installation is to be rebated over 6 months or something. For now, avoid UVerse. It has too many bugs to work out.

Worst Customer Service
Posted by Nicknite on 12/06/2010
On Oct 14th, 2010 I called to get basic home phone service and internet with AT&T since I am already a wireless customer. I explained what I had and what I needed. I was told that a technician would be out Monday to take care of me.
Monday, Oct 18th came and went with not call or no technician. I called back on the 19th and this is where HELL began!!!
Here is what I needed..phone and internet to be connected! That is it!!
The first time I got someone I explained that my phone and internet were supposed to b connected on Monday and were not. I was told that my phone had been connected and was working. IT WAS NOT WORKING!!!!! I could call the number but it would not ring in my house!! Of course they insult you by asking if your jacks are connected. I did not have a dial tone!!!! I explained that I had had digital phone previously, but they insisted that it was working. I gave up on phone and tried with the internet. That was even worse! Each person kept telling me that all I had to do was set up my modem. I kept explaining that I did not have a modem but a router. They kept trying to walk me thru set up!!
At about 4 I spoke to someone who seemed like he could help. He advised me that I had been transferred to the wrong area and that his area was where I needed to be. He told me that because I had digital phone and internet, a technitian did have to come out and set me up. He said he would order me a modem and have it sent to me by Thursday and a tech would be out Friday to set me up. He even asked me to speak with his supervisor because he needed to know what I had been thru that day. I spoke with him and he advised that my fist bill would be waived due to all the issues and misinformation that I had.
Thursday day came and went with not modem. I called back on Friday and was advised that there was no record of an order being placed for me. After talking to more people, I was advised that they would send a tech out on Saturday and he would bring the modem.
Saturday afternoon did bring some good news, the phone guy came out and I had phone service. He advised that he had lots of complaints against AT&T customer service and left his business card just in case the internet guy did not show up.
Guess what...internet guy never showed up!
Sunday..I called again and was less than cordial. Was transferred to customer service in India. I asked to be sent back to the US and was sent to Indianapolis. I explained everthing that had happed in the past week and was advised that they would have a technician out that afternoon with a modem at no charge to me.
Finally..a technician came that morning and got me set up!!!!!
Then..the big slap in the face occurred..I received a bill from AT&T for $255.64. $186.00 of which, was for a modem and for a technician.
I had to call again today and was told that in my record, those charges had been waived..so..how did I get billed if they were waived?
In the area that I live in, I don't have too many options for phone and internet as it is AT&T country. My other service provided was terribly high and by going to AT&T and another cable provider I am saving $150 per month; not sure now if it was worth it!
I can't wait for my wireless service to end, as I will be looking for another provided as well!
I really hope this gets to the "Powers to Be" at AT&T. I have never received such poor service from any company in my life!

A T & T Cable is the Worst
Posted by Olivia18 on 10/04/2010
It is Monday morning and my television is the bedroom is on. Out of nowhere, there is a very loud bang outside. This sound resembles a gun being fired, a loud clap of thunder, or a mini explosion.
Simultaneously, my TV goes out. It is obvious to me this has come from one of at&t's transformers or whatever those circular metal boxes are on the top of the telephone pole. This is confirmed when several neighbors come outside and look up at the said telephone pole. At this point, my TV will not turn back on. I check my alternate TV in the living room. It comes on and immediately the video portion goes out and all I am left with is audio. Upon calling AT&T service, I am told to repower the cable boxes (naturally) and the service is restored (for 5 min). Unfortunately, I had hung up with the tech thinking the problem was solved. Now I have to call back and go thru all the menu bs once again only to be told someone would have to come out because this is an exterior problem (no kidding!) At this point, I am told that the TV could be damaged though they bear no responsibility in the cost of this, and someone cannot come out until Thursday (4 days away) REALLY??????
This is not only an inconvenience (obviously) but a questionable safety hazard, since the sound heard from the outside was not a comforting one. I live in a complex made up of several condos so I am certain many people are affected by this "inconvenience" If the electricity goes out, does the company not send someone out as soon as possible? Considering what I am paying these people for my cable, not to mention the SLOWEST internet out there, I think I should be awarded the same courtesy. All these negative reviews are not surprising.

Finished With U-Verse...for Good!
Posted by Ryanwg123 on 08/10/2013
HOUMA, LOUISIANA -- We are coming to the end of our contract with U-verse and I will never be going back. My complaints are mainly with the TV service as the phone and Internet have been satisfactory other that the fact that they claim the Internet is twice as fast as any other provider....bull. It is comparable, not faster.
They will tell you they use fiber optics and the newest state-of-the-art equipment. When the technicians came I noticed they were running regular coax I but I let it go and gave them the benefit of the doubt. They claimed we would be able to record four shows at once but when we tried this while watching more than one TV the screen pops up an alert forcing you to choose one of the other TV's in the house to shutdown.
When I called to complain about this I was told that my neighborhood wasn't quite set up for their "full" service. I was very angry and said that I was never given any clue that I might not be getting everything U-Verse had to offer. They suggested a more costly package that would still only allow me to record 2 HD shows and 2 SD shows simultaneously. I was told I would be able to record all shows in HD when I signed up and after many phone calls and arguments with their customer service they gave me the "upgraded" service for the same price, which like I said was still not what was advertised.
I discussed going back to Direct TV and fighting our way out of the contract. That was until I went outside the next day and noticed that the U-Verse technician had cut all the old Direct TV cables at connectors and had stolen the multi switch they were connected to off my house. I called the customer service department furious and demanded my property returned because I wanted out of this contract. They said they would contact the technician and have it returned...that was a year ago. I still have no multi switch.
I don't like the way the menu is set up either. You scan through channels and before you can read the info it switches on you too quickly forcing you to go into the full screen info just to read what the hell the show is about...irritating. They DVR's are slow and unresponsive and tend to freeze up from time tom time. I can't wait for a U-Verse representative to ask me why I'm not renewing my contract, I will be happy to remind them. By the way I got the feeling it was standard practice for them to cut the old antenna cables. Why else would they do that other than to prevent you from changing your mind and returning to your old service. I think I never heard from them because they told the technicians to do that. U-verse is dishonest and shady at best. Sadly they aren't much different that most TV services. Best thing to do is bounce around different cable/satellite companies and take advantage of new sign up deals as they come available and at least you'll save some money along the way but beware the ads and commercials. They lie to your face.

Thanks for the information! I am also very unhappy with AT and T U-Verse Internet. I had no problem with my DSL, but after Magic Jack screwed everything up by porting my number without my permission for my AT and T phone, it also automatically disconnected my AT and T DSL Internet service. So, when I tried to straighten it out and told AT and T I wanted my DSL back because it was disconnected without my permission and not by any request of mine...I was told once our DSL is disconnected, we can not connect it again and the only choice is to go with the U-Verse...and their U-Verse has been trouble ever since...it's been a year now and I'm still not happy. My connection was better and faster with the DSL service.

I was told by Uverse they were FTTH, but knew better as I am in the business. When the tech came to switch from DSL to Uverse, I talked to him about it and he told me sales people have no clue. We did confirm I was capable of 26 down, so was happy.
I did not go with triple play: am satisfied with DirecTv (I can do my own maintenance).
As for the multiswitch, be not alarmed: DirecTv is pretty much gone over to SWM and you would not need one. A simple splitter will suffice The fittings would be cut off and replaced by any installer from any service as part of an install (well, a competent installer would.)

Worst Experience With a Company I Had in the US. Cheap Tricks, Lies and No Attention to Customer at Ll.
Posted by Nitinsagi on 07/02/2013
PLANO, TEXAS -- I had AT&T Uverse for the last 4 months. There 2 area outages for last 2 months. Network used to drop frequently. Customer Services will hung up on my calls. I waited for 30 minutes on the line just to speak to an Agent. My internet service went on Thursday. When I called in they scheduled an appointment on Saturday.
Service men can't fix the problem(he doesn't seem to have any idea). He later scheduled an appointment on Monday, which they postponed again. I called customer service they are very rude. This service is not acknowledging the value of customers time. We had to wait forever for their reply.

A 5 Day Nightmare
Posted by Jonthethird on 05/27/2011
WEST SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA -- Called AT&T to upgrade my basic DSL from 1.5 to 3.0 meg. The salesperson advised I could get UVerse at 6.0 meg for $3.00 more then my DSL/Phone rate, and that AT&T would put a fiber cable to my home to guarantee the speed. The install would be seamless, with a few hours of no internet service. I opted for a self install, as I am fairly competent with computers. The equipment was to be shipped to me in advance of the install date which was May 27.
I was home for the appointed hours: 12-4. The tech showed up at 3, checked the line, and all was a go. DSL was offline, no internet. Problem: no equipment. (BTW, no fiber either. It is NOT a fiber to the home, but a system using the old telephone wires.)
Called at 6 pm, was assured it would be at my home by 12 midnight (?). Could not believe this, called back, asked for an escalation. Supervisor told me that, after looking, no equipment had been shipped. Got through to tier 2 support, who said the equipment would be delivered by a local installer between the hours of 12-4 the next day (Tuesday.) Waited until 3:30 when the installer called and said he had no equipment.
Back on the phone, back on hold for another hour or so, back to tier 2. That man said the equipment would go out that night, overnight delivery by UPS.
No equipment Wednesday. Called, sat on hold, finally got back in. Was able to get a tracking number which had the equipment shipped Wednesday, two day.
Today, Friday, finally got the equipment with a new turn on date of June 1st.
Hours on hold, multiple disconnects due to their phone glitchs, dealing with very polite people who apologize, but seem to be able to do little.
Glad I did not take the television side of this mess.
If you go with ATT, have a pot of coffee ready, a lot of time to spend on the phone, and maybe take a Valium. You will need it.

I am sorry you had to go through all this. I work for a TV/Telco company, and know there a lot of gimmicks being thrown around. It seems the most common complaint about U-Verse is their "bandwidth cap:" and erroneous penalties for unknowingly going over. I just got setup w/DISH Network and there is NO bandwidth cap, and the Triple Play is now available. Check it out!!

Customer service is No-Service
Posted by Killerbee07 on 01/08/2011
When originally installed AT&T U-verse was wonderful. In January, AT&T U-verse upgraded their software. The television started freezing intermittently which meant no Internet or telephone service. The duration of the freezes would be anywhere between two to five minutes. Reported the problem and technicians were sent out. Equipments were changed. The problem reoccurred, called, technicians of next level sent. Problem still not resolved. Technicians of next level and supervisor sent. Problem resolved for short period of time. Problem back again starting November, 2010. Technician sent 12/8/2010 (one hour late after window time). Changed equipment. Problem returned 12/9/2010 and still going on today(1/8/2011). Called sending technician on 1/14/2011. I explained I will be looking for a vendor that provides the services that I am getting from AT&T (television, Internet, telephone). Customer service apologetic, but no satisfaction.

I forgot how much fun SS4 was . I just picked up this game yesterday and my better half and I were playing it all afternoon. Personally I prefer Hakan over Juri; then again I prefer the upbeat/humorous characters over all the others anyway.

Not being a massive fan of the Street Fighter franchise and rather being a fan of tekken, i still have to say that i did not like it. I prefer SSF2 on SNES.
Still, Zangief is cooler than ever.

Many free standing tubs are not waterproofed and this one little step can cause a whole host of problems down the road. It is advisable and many times required by local code to do this step.
Here is a look at a new project here in North Vancouver where we used some 1/2" Hardi Board and some Mapei HPG for the backer board.
The tile detail also includes a nice large niche detail and like the rest was clad in Hardi Board and covered with HPG.
This is a kids bathroom and I'm sure the niche will receive lots of play time and lots of splashing. With a seat like this tub has perhaps even Mom and Dad will add to the problem.

"As funds have been cut across the board, as we see support drop," said Gregory Fitch, executive director of the Alabama Commission on Higher Education, "it is important to work together to build fundraising to support institutions of higher learning."
Fitch said that given the downturn in state support, foundations are playing a critical role in public institutions, providing funds for needs from construction to scholarships.
JSU's foundation, like those of most public institutions, exists solely to support the vision and mission of the university, said Charles Lewis, vice president for university advancement and executive director of the foundation.
The organization raises money for JSU and manages donations, receipts and assets, and ensures any gifts designated for a particular purpose remain in the proper fund. As a federal-tax- exempt, nonprofit organization, the foundation, Lewis said, has its own board of directors and is careful to maintain a separation from the university. All university officials who also serve on the foundation board are designated as ex-officio members and have no votes in foundation business.
Currently the foundation, which holds about $30 million in assets, is studying the feasibility of a capital campaign that could include a number of major projects, including a new music performance facility, upgrades for Ramona Wood Hall, the home of the College of Education and Professional studies, improvements at various athletic facilities, and endowed scholarships and professorships. All of the items being considered for funding, he said, are part of the university's strategic plan, which the board of trustees approved in 2011.
The document is intended "to move the university forward as a learning-centered university," Lewis said. "That then creates funding priorities and possibilities, so now is an exceptional time to start for JSU — the potential is incredible."
University President Bill Meehan said that public institutions like JSU are just beginning to develop fundraising practices that private schools have been very good at for a long time. If the foundation undertakes a capital campaign, it will be the third since it first attempted a campaign in 2004.
"We have to find other ways to develop resources to fund the goals and ambitions of the university," Meehan said of the current state of funding. Meehan began teaching biology at JSU in 1977. At that time, he said, the institution received almost 60 percent of its funding from the state. Now, that figure is about 33 percent, he said.
Since 2007, state appropriations for higher education have declined across the board. Two-year colleges in the state saw funding fall from about $381.5 million to the $316.1 million slated for the current fiscal year, a drop of 17 percent.
Universities have seen total funding drop from $1.2 billion to $1 billion over that same time period, a 16 percent reduction.
During that same time, JSU's foundation has increased its funding for university programs. In 2007, the foundation disbursed nearly $548,000 for scholarships and other funding requests. By 2011, the most recent year for which records were available, the foundation doled out more than $1.2 million, a good portion of which went to scholarships, according to Lewis. This amounts to a 120 percent increase over five years.
But the help provided by foundations will only go so far, according to Brian Flahaven, director of foundation programs at the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, a Washington-based group for schools and professionals who work to advance those schools.
"Something our members have had to remind both state lawmakers and even their institution colleagues of is that private support is not meant to take the place of public support," he said.
Flahaven said the level of funds that can be raised through private support is not nearly the level needed to run an institution's operations.
Instead, he said, the role of private support is to provide a "margin of excellence" — increased funding that will take an institution to the next level.
This idea is something that resonates with Lewis as well. "If we're going to move this university to the next level and build on the legacy we have had," he said, "we've got to have private funds."

(AP) - The rate of homelessness in Virginia has declined by eight percent since 2010.
Gov. Bob McDonnell made the announcement Wednesday. He cited data compiled by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development and the Virginia Coalition to End Homelessness.
McDonnell said the homeless rate for families declined 11 percent, and the number of people experiencing chronic homelessness fell by more than one-third.
The governor said the state has shifted some resources from traditional shelter services to rapid re-housing - moving people into permanent housing more quickly while providing appropriate services through community resources.

Hola. España.
Excited, nervous, anxious, but also born ready. There were many, many mixed feelings as the days were winding down until January 10, the date I departed from Chicago to Madrid, with a pit stop in London. As I was packing, and doing a lot of unpacking, it was hard for me to completely grasp that I would be living along the Mediterranean coast for the next six months. I definitely was going to miss my family but also was looking forward to shaping new friendships and a family abroad, amongst my home-stay and other USAC students. With that being said, there is no doubt that "absence makes the heart grow fonder," and I was looking forward virtually keeping up with people at home. That presents one of the biggest challenges while trying to soak up this awesome experience with you…sharing it! But no worries, I'll do my best to get to the point, be engaging and fun and hopefully you can try to vicariously live through my time in Alicante.
After meeting up with some other USAC students on the group flight, we finally arrived to Hotel Regina in Madrid where a five-day excursion was upon us. There were several places we visited first in the capital of Spain, all of which were very impressive. We visited the Prado Museum, which features the works of El Greco, Diego Velazquez and Goya, and the Reina Sofia Museum to view Picasso's Guernica, a piece made after bombings during the Spanish Civil War. We also walked through the Plaza Mayor and to the Royal Palace of Madrid, where every room was jaw dropping. Another fun part in Madrid that was not part of the guided tours was the tapas restaurants and discotecas. It was very fun to get an early taste of what Spanish nightlife is all about!
Another place we visited was the city of Segovia, a place known for being home to the famous Roman aqueduct and the wonderful Alcazar of Segovia. Walking through the city was incredible and there were many buildings designed with brilliant architecture. My view from lunch was breathtaking as well, overlooking the whole city with the Guadarrama Mountains in the background. The last city in Spain we visited during our stay near Madrid was Toledo. Here, we toured a synagogue that still has working church services, which features amazing fresocs on all ceilings and more gold in one place that you will ever see! I was also able to get a shout out and quick feel good from the states on this tour. Since Toledo, Spain is sister cities with Toledo, Ohio, we were pointed to Calle de Toledo de Ohio, which easily made me smile. All in all, the tours in Madrid were tremendous and you can see some more photos at the links below! Hasta pronto. -Z(S)ak o Gustavo

Birdies for Bradley lives on
Bradley Johnson is going to be a star golfer someday, a
neighbor said to John Hayden, then nine years old. Hes coming up No. 14 right
Hayden, just starting to gain interest in the game of
golf, ran from his home near Graystone Country Club (Birmingham, Ala.) to catch
a glimpse of the 2005 U.S. Junior Amateur runner-up. Little did he know, that
glimpse would be one of the last that he would see of the promising young
talent in Johnson.
I brought a golf ball over to Bradley and asked him to
sign it, reflected now 16-year-old Hayden. He kind of laughed, then smiled
and signed the ball.
A few weeks later, Johnsons life was tragically cut
short in a two-car accident. Johnson, just shy of making a college decision,
left behind unfinished dreams and a younger brother Michael who helped
establish Birdies for Bradley. Michaels vision, along with the help of other
family members, was to create a fundraiser through the AJGAs Leadership Links
program that benefitted the Bradley Johnson Memorial Foundation and the ACE
Michael, a two-time AJGA champion, is now playing golf at
Auburn, but looks to younger AJGA juniors to continue the Birdies for Bradley
program. It didnt take much to convince Hayden.
Hayden has only participated in a few Qualifiers so far
and yet his contributions to the Birdies for Bradley program via Leadership
Links are significant.
Im almost to the $1,000 mark, Hayden said. Its been
really easy to raise the money and its for a great cause. Im just really
trying to keep the spirit of Bradley alive because Ive never heard a bad thing
about him. He was a class act and Im striving to model myself after him.
Hayden looks forward to raising more funds for the
Birdies for Bradley program in 2012. He will most likely participate in his
first AJGA tournament this summer and hopes to rack up the birdies.
Other Leadership Links Stories
Im not only focusing on birdies to help me post a good
score, but the Leadership Links program will turn those birdies into money for
a good cause.
For more information about the AJGA Leadership Links
program please visit: http://www.ajga.org/LL/Index.asp
The Foundation
The Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Grant program provides financial assistance to junior golfers who wish to play in AJGA events. Its goal is to give top-flight golf opportunities to young golfers regardless of financial resources. This program helps to fulfill the AJGA's mission of developing young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf.
What is Leadership Links?
Leadership Links is a new program whereby the AJGA is able to further its mission to help develop young men and women by teaching charitable giving skills and service-oriented practices at an early age. This program gives juniors all the tools necessary to donate their time, talent and resources to local charities and the AJGA youth development programs. Please click here to learn more about the program and the different opportunities available.

Product Reviews
Firewall Analyzer knows what your firewalls are doing.
Firewall Analyzer, particularly the more expensive Enterprise Edition, can collect data from hundreds of firewalls from some 25 vendors. It can then correlate data from traffic, event, content, and attack logs to figure out the type of attack, severity, and where it came from. The software translates cryptic syslogs from an array of firewalls into understandable reports. And because you don't want to spend all day staring at firewall reports, Firewall Analyzer can send alerts based on thresholds that you define.
I loaded the Standard version first, which went in pretty easily. I then performed the "configure firewall" function and added the IP address of my firewall (the tools uses autodiscovery to ease the installation of devices), which set off a message asking if I wanted to allow access to the analyzer, which, of course I did.
By clicking the edit button, you can select your firewall and decide if you want the "fwasyslog" service to collect the log file. By selecting the latter option, you can change the port to any port you prefer.
I checked the logs created and saw that everything was operating as it should be. Since the installation put an icon on my desktop, I thought I'd find something interesting if I double-clicked it. Instead I was brought to the Internet Optimizer screen we've all seen a bazillion times.
Satisfied with the Standard version, I then loaded the Enterprise version, which offers more reports and more detail such as which user is doing what and when, and what DNS names are being resolved to what IP addresses.
A strength of Firewall Analyzer is its reporting. Each report lists each specific action, protocol and port that the analyzer listened on, so I had no problems seeing where my problem areas were. Through integration with Active Directory, reports can be customized based on the role and rights of the user.
Reports can move from the general—number of visitors and bytes transferred per day—to the highly detailed. Want to know how many attacks and emergencies have occurred? No problem. Care to know how many Ping of Death attacks occurred last Thursday, what IP addresses they went after, and the source of the attack? A simple Firewall Analyzer report can do the trick.
Because firewalls can collect reams and reams of data, you can decide how much data to collect and analyze. To further reduce bandwidth and storage, Firewall Analyzer can be configured to only pass along the delta or changes to log files. Reports can be formatted as PDFs, HTML, Excel, or Word docs, all complete with tables, graphs, and detailed summaries.
The analyzer doesn't tell you how to fix errors or problems it finds, but that's OK; most admins already know that stuff.
Firewalls collect an awful lot of data, and Firewall Analyzer can do more than track down attacks. This tool can also track bandwidth use, protocol use, Web visitors and internal use including the categorization of URLs, and hunt down downloading of inappropriate content.
Firewall Analyzer can be loaded on most Windows machines from NT 4 (with SP6) up to Server 2003. It should be noted here that on XP boxes, only one Web site can be running at a time. Firewall Analyzer also has a built-in Apache Web server.
If you want to make sure there are no holes in your firewall (or find the ones there), take a look at Firewall Analyzer. The last thing you need is some outside entity poking through company data.
