Wrestlings annual dual meet rush should provide a weekend boon to central Pennsylvania hoteliers.
In an effort to conduct multiple matches before district team tournaments begin, programs are flocking to events such as Saturdays Red Raider Rumble at Bellefonte High School.
Besides boasting one of the states snappiest names Bellefonte should explore obtaining copyrights the Rumble has evolved into a solid 16-team event. The tournament started in 2011 and survived this seasons numbers crunch caused by the PIAA trimming competition points.
Bellefonte and State College give the tournament a local presence. Altoona adds another District 6 school. DuBois, Punxsutawney and Cathedral Prep are teams the District 6 programs will encounter at the Northwest Regional.
Its going to be nice for us because we will see a lot of the teams at regionals, Bellefonte coach Mike Maney said.
Bellefonte wrestles Crestwood, Altoona and Cathedral Prep in pool matches. Cathedral Prep was the tournaments final entry. The Ramblers had three competition points available because snow prevented them from attending last months Manheim Tournament. Needing a 16th team for the duals, Maney contacted Cathedral Preps coaching staff shortly after learning of the Ramblers holiday ordeal.
State College meets Midd-West, Pittston and 2011 champion Fauquier (Va.) in its pool. Fauquier is coached by former Bald Eagle Area wrestler Doug Fisher.
DuBois (4-2), which features seven 2012 regional qualifiers, is the favorite to claim this years team title. Bellefonte (5-2), Cathedral Prep (8-5), Pittston (7-3) and Downingtown West (15-6) could push DuBois.
District 3 Exeter Township, which fell to Central Mountain in last years final, returns to the tournament. Hazleton, Pius X, Quakertown and James Wood (Va.) are also in the field.
The tournament begins at 9 a.m. The final and third-place match are scheduled for 5:45 p.m. Times are tentative and rounds might begin earlier or later depending on mat availability.
Similar tournaments are being contested throughout the District 4-6-9 corridor this weekend.
The massive Richland Duals started Friday in the Johnstown suburbs. The tournaments field has decreased from 35 to 28 teams. The field is littered with District 6 Class AA teams, including Huntingdon, which defeated Philipsburg-Osceola in the finals of last weekends Juniata Duals.
Speaking of Juniata, the Indians are hosting a dual meet tournament for a second straight weekend. Mount Union, Towanda, Biglerville, Freedom, Mount Carmel, Trinity, Hamburg, East Pennsboro and West Perry are competing Saturday in Mifflintown.
Fifteen miles up Route 322, Mifflin County will host the six-team Husky Duals on Saturday. Conestoga Valley, Pen Argyl, Penn Manor, Wellsboro and Souderton are visiting Lewistown. Mifflin County is competing with Central Mountain for the top seed in the District 6 Class AAA duals.
To Bellefontes west, Clearfield and Brookville are staging dual meet tournaments. West Branch is one of 10 teams competing in Saturdays Bison Duals at Clearfield. The Warriors are competing with Penns Valley, Huntingdon and Mount Union for the top seed in the District 6 Class AA duals. Port Allegany, General McLane, Peters Township, Sharpsville, Curwensville, Valley, Montoursville and Pleasant Valley are other Bison Duals entries.
Those wandering farther west along Interstate 80 will find an intimate event regarded as one of the states best dual meet tournaments. Resurgent Brookville hosts its Ultimate Duals on Saturday. A PIAA duals primer for the states top Class AA programs, Boyertown gives the tournament a Class AAA presence. Reynolds, Saegertown, Mifflinburg and Hanover are also in the six-team field.
Jersey Shore, one of Bellefontes Big 7 partners, conducts its annual duals Saturday. Warrior Run coach Wayne Smythe can join Pennsylvanias 500-win club with one victory at the tournament. Canton, Cedar Cliff, Central Dauphin East, Greensburg Salem, Muncy, Tunkhannock, Wallenpaupack, Western Wayne, Phoenixville and Clarion are also traveling to western Lycoming County.
So whats at stake for the 88 teams participating in the seven grueling tournaments?
Many programs are jockeying for position in upcoming district team tournaments. District 6, for example, will set its team tournament field by the end of next week. A 5-0 weekend could secure a first-round home match or even better an opening round bye. The District 6 team duals begin Jan. 30.
Teams with sub-.500 records are already preparing wrestlers for the individual postseason, a demanding three- or four-step process beginning next month. Coaches from thin or struggling teams might execute some wild maneuvers this weekend to challenge their best wrestlers.
Solid as a rock
Individual tournaments still exist, and Bald Eagle Area is participating in one of the states best.
The Eagles are one of 32 teams entered in the Escape the Rock Tournament at Council Rock South. The two-day event begins Saturday and ends Sunday. This marks the first time since BEA competed in the 2007 Beast of the East Tournament that a Centre County team will wrestle on a Sunday.
The Eagles Jake Taylor (third) and Aaron Varner (sixth) placed in last years tournament. Taylor carries a 15-0 record at 182 pounds into this weekend, which might include a showdown against Norristowns Brett Harner. Taylor is ranked seventh nationally by InterMat. Harner is ranked fourth.
Central Mountain, Bethlehem Catholic, Delaware Valley, Chambersburg, Parkland, Owen J. Roberts and Caesar Rodney (Del.) are other teams in the loaded field.

I paid extra for next day "before midday" delivery. The courier did not arrive until after midday, by which time I was no longer at home.
I was told the courier was not able to return that day.
I was then told I would have my parcel by 10:30am the following day. It did not arrive. I was then told it would be with me by midday. It did not arrive. I was then told it would be with me by 12:30. Thankfully it did arrive, at about 12:20.
So, after a lot of phonecalls, and the typical but extended "prisoner in my own home" experience of waiting in for a parcel delivery, it did eventually arrive.

For over a century Taylor's has owned the beautiful estate of Vargellas, acknowledged as one of the great vineyards of the world. In certain years when a Taylor's vintage is not declared, the best of the estate's produce is selected and bottled as a "single quinta" Vintage Port under the Quinta de Vargellas name. Quinta de Vargellas Vintage Ports have achieved an enviable reputation in their own right. Usually maturing earlier than Taylor's declared vintages, they are sold when they are ready ro drink.
Taylor's is now into its fourth century: one of the very oldest of the Port companies. It is the last totally independent company of the original British Port houses-and is still family owned and managed. It is run today from Oporto by descendants of the Yeatman and Fladgate families, both of which have been partners in the firm since the 1830s. For more than 300 years Taylor's name has been synonymous with consistent excellence in Port.
Portugal The country best known for Port, Madeira and corks is often overlooked when consumers think of red and white still wines - but take note! The table wines of the region have improved dramatically in the past few decades. The winemaking areas trickle down the country's narrow shape, bordered by the Atlantic on the west and Spain on the east. Notable...Read More About Portugal
Port Wine Port is a fortified wine that is made by adding brandy during fermentation. The addition of spirits kills the yeasts, which in turn halts the fermentation process. This results in a wine both sweet and high in alcohol. Named for its home city Oporto, true Port must come from the designated area. The grapes used are a blend,, but the favored grape thought to...Read More About Port

Delta CEO Richard Anderson threw out some interesting figures in today's keynote at MRO Americas in Atlanta, including the fact that the airline keeps a consistent 92% on-time rate and a completion rate of 99.6% on its mainline with a pool of spare engines totaling just 5% of the on-wing fleet. He credited Delta Tech Ops's engine overhaul prowess for keeping the carrier's operation both lean and efficient.
In a subsequent session, Delta Manager, Engine Demand Planning Gino Miraglia provided some context of Delta's engine fleet. The carrier currently has 1,472 engines on-wing, putting the spares pool--which includes both ready-to-use units and engines undergoing repair--at around 74.
The carrier's engine fleet includes 16 models made by four OEMs; Tech Ops services eight of the models in-house, and eight are sent out.
Delta's biggest engine fleets? Pratt & Whitney PW2000s (330 in service), CFM56-5As (248), and JT9D-219 (234).

In this 5 min video, I discuss the importance of having a vision for your life.

In this 5 min video, I discuss the importance of having a vision for your life.
by KAMONDA P.
by KAMONDA P.
I believe you have to know where you are, and where you're going, before you can make a significant change in your life. The answers to these seven questions, can be used as a roadmap, to navigate you to where you want to be. If you haven't consciously thought about this before, now is a great time to initiate the process, and to start living a life of purpose.
1. What do I really want? Sounds like a simple enough question, right? But, have you taking the time to think about what it is you really want? Most would probably say they want a new car, a bigger house, or a better job. For those who are committed to living a life of purpose the answer to this question should go a little deeper. Don't get me wrong, those are great things to want, but you're just skimming the surface. Dig a little deeper and really take time to discover your heart's desire.
2. Should I really change? If you're unhappy with the way things are in your life right now, why wouldn't you want to change things? You have the power inside of you to change your life; now is the time to activate that power. Instead of doing what you've always done. Start by making small choices in a different way, eventually those new choices and decisions will create huge change in your life.
3. What's the point to all of this? It's your life! I know its a little cliché, but you only have one life to live, so LIVE it. It's all in the way you see things. If you focus only on the negative things in your life, you're going to continue to draw negativity to you. When you focus on the positive, even when things appear not to be going so well, you release the positive energy needed to turn that situation around. As your thoughts change, your attitude changes, and you'll begin to see things in a new way.
4. Am I comfortable with what I'm doing? If you're comfortable, you're not living at your fullest capacity. Breakout of your comfort zone and stretch yourself. Do something you've never done before. Pick up a new hobby, enroll in a new class, or start that business you've been dreaming of. It's not enough to go through life comfortable or just going through the motions. You should be passionate about what you're doing.
5. Have I done enough for myself? When we neglect ourselves in our efforts to take care of everyone else it can be emotionally, mentally, spiritually and even physically draining. Take a step back and find some ME time. Do something that is just for you. Start to put your own well-being first, and soon you'll be able to see yourself doing things you couldn't have imagined before.
6. What motivates me? This can be a tough one. I believe when you know what motivates you; you know how far you'll go to accomplish your dreams. That motivation ignites the fire which inflames the passion to accomplish whatever it is you've set your mind to. Only you will know what motivates you. Take time to explore this important question.
7. How much could I have? You can have as much or as little as you desire. It's up to you. If you have a mentality that you'll never have enough, you'll continue to struggle. Don't focus on what you don't have, give thanks for what you do have and you'll begin to see that you already have enough. Begin to envision the things you want and not just material things. But envision having peace in your life, envision your health improving, that your children are doing well, and you will have those things in your life.
This is not a complete list of those important questions you should be asking yourself. However, I hope these have started you thinking and provided a way to get you moving in the right direction.
What other questions can you add to the list? I would love to hear from you.

This week I was doing some research and came across this piece written by Dalai Lama, A to Zen of Life. I thought it was worth sharing with you, as it has some inspiring and empowering tips for living a life of purpose. If this is the first time you've seen it, take time to read each one or even print it out as I did. There is some great advice, wisdom and insight here. Enjoy!

There are many roads we can take in life. In fact, you've probably heard the saying, "That person is going down the wrong road." Every choice and decision we make in life reveals a different road. Some time the road is smooth; sometimes it's rocky, and often times it's a long winding road. In life, there are roads that lead to happiness and success, and there are roads that lead to stress and disappointment.
During your travels, there will be times during the journey you come to a crossroad. At that moment, there are different roads stretched ahead of you and many directions you can take. You may not know where those roads will lead. But, you know you have to choose one, or you'll stay stuck at the intersection.
There are no guarantees in life.
You won't know where a road will lead until you make the decision to take it. No one said that choosing to do the right thing all the time would always lead you to happiness. Loving someone with all your heart does not guarantee they will love you in return. Success does not guarantee happiness. The only thing you have the power to control is the decisions you will make, and how you act and react to those different choices.
Hindsight is 20/20
We can look back at some of the wrong decisions we've made in life and see where we went wrong. But, if you knew then, what you know now, would you have made that same decision? Probably not, but you also would have missed the valuable lesson you learned along the way. By choosing that road, you gained knowledge that would prevent you from making the same mistake twice.
Take a risk
Life offers no guarantee. You won't know if you've made the wrong choice until you actual make it, so you might as well, make the choice and take the risk. It is definitely better than staying stuck where you are. You're taking a chance, but that road could be the one which leads you to the opportunity, to live the life you've always dreamed of. Taking risks is not about being reckless or making haphazard decisions. You still need to get as much information as you can about a situation before you walk into it. Weigh the pros and cons of every option and finally, trust yourself. Trust, that you are making the right decision based on the information you have at the time.
The most important thing is you've chosen to live instead of remaining a bystander or passive audience to your own life. Whether it's the right decision or not, only time will tell. But, don't regret it, whatever the outcome. Instead, learn from the experience and remember you always have the chance to make another choice.

Change is a natural part of growth. Yet it is so hard for many of us to embrace the changes that would promote growth in our mental, emotional and spiritual lives. Despite the benefits of growing in these areas we spend the majority of our lives resisting the changes we need to make; in essence, stunting our growth.
The biggest resistance to change is FEAR of the Unknown. We come to that place where we want to desperately make a change. We are not happy where we are and with our circumstances but we're afraid to move forward into the new, the unknown.
Fear in itself is not entirely bad; after all it keeps us from rushing into dangerous situations. That same fear can also keep us from fulfilling our purpose. Fear places limitations on our lives by restricting the things we do and will try. Fear is the root of the excuses we tell ourselves. "I don't have enough money," "I don't know how to do that," or "I don't have enough experience." Fear breeds lack. As long as we are afraid to try something new, to make changes in our lives, we will remain where we are.
The unknown is a place we are unfamiliar with, it is a place that is beyond our current knowledge and experience, strange and unfamiliar place. Yet, the unknown is filled with the promise of opportunities and unlimited possibilities. It is for those exact reasons fear does not want you to step into the place of the unknown. Fear knows that if you take that first step, it is defeated.
You can overcome and defeat fear with action. Each day take a small step toward achieving your goals. Once you've taken that first step, you realize it wasn't as hard as you thought, so you take another, then another, then another, and soon you'll see you're much closer to accomplishing your goal and fulfilling your purpose. When you see the first signs of your success it is then you'll look back and wonder what you were so afraid of in the first place.

"Perhaps our highest need as human beings is not just to survive but to thrive by using our God-given gifts in pursuit of our life's purpose." Unknown
I can't say it enough; every one of us was created with a purpose (divine destiny.) Everything that we need to fulfill this purpose is already on the inside of us. However, most of us struggle, with understanding, finding, and moving forward in the completion of our divine assignment. We've become complacent just going through the motions instead of living the life we were created to live. We are dissatisfied with our jobs and relationships. We feel burned out, beat up and unfulfilled.
Yet, something within you calls out for more.
One of the best books I've read about discovering your purpose is The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. In his book, Rick talks about discovering your purpose through your SHAPE.
Your S.H.A.P.E is comprised of your:
Spiritual Gifts- These gifts were given to you by God. You can't buy or earn these gifts; they were freely given because of God's love for you. Guess what? No one else in the world has your specific set of gifts; they are unique to you, yet, they are not for your benefit, but for you to use to benefit others.
Heart- Your heart is the truest reflection of who you are. Your heart knows what you love to do and what you care the most about. Your heart knows why you say the things you do and why you feel the way you feel. Your heart instinctively knows the things you care about and what you don't. The things that excite and interest you are clues to your purpose.
Abilities- Your abilities are the things you do naturally. The things you do without thinking about them. We are all good at something. It could be something artistic, athletic, or scientific. Are you good with numbers, speaking, encouraging others, teaching, writing, sales? Your list of abilities is endless. Take some time to write down what you're good at and what you're not so good at.
Personality- You're unique; there is and will never be, anyone else like you. Some people are more outgoing while others are more reserved. Some people thrive off of excitement and others enjoy a quieter life. Some people like being front and center and others prefer working behind the scenes. Whatever your personality it's the perfect one to fulfill you purpose. That's why it's so important not to try and be like someone else. You need to be yourself in order to fulfill your purpose.
Experiences- Whether good or bad every experience you've had has molded you into who you are. In your family experience; what did you learn? In your educational experiences; what subjects interested you the most? In your career, what jobs did you enjoy the most and why? In your spiritual experience, what has been your most meaningful time with God? What have you learned from the pains, hurts and trials in your life?
If you're struggling to find your purpose, take a moment to really understand your S.H.A.P.E. I believe it's a great start to discovering who you were created to be.

One of my closest friends made me smile today; not because he did something for me, but because he did something for himself. He made a decision that I KNOW he wanted to make for a very long time – years, in fact. But, like many of us, he allowed the distractions of life to get in the way. Notice my choice in words here – I did not say the distractions of life got in the way. I said; he allowed the distractions of life to get in the way. He freely admits this. But, not only does he admit it, he recognizes it as a problem in his life and has finally realized that it's time to take action. Now he is well on his way to fulfilling the dream he's always wanted, and this time, he will allow nothing and no one to distract him.
This is a leap year, which we only see once every 4 years. It got me to thinking about "Leaps of Faith"…
How often do we actually have the courage to take a leap into our dreams and go the extra mile to fulfill them? While we always hear that not every leap of faith guarantees a soft, fluffy landing, it doesn't mean that we shouldn't try, right? Sometimes we have to take that leap anyway just to see what awaits us at the end. Otherwise, we'll spend our whole lives wondering.
Dreams are hard. If they were easy, we'd all be living them out. They take time, energy, hard work, determination, loyalty and commitment. Not everyone WILL fully commit themselves. But, EVERYONE has what it takes. What separates those who actually realize their dreams is the ability to turn obstacles into opportunities.
Nobody knows this more than I do. Believe me, my friends, I have been diverted from my path so many times, I actually ended up where I started more times than I can count. If life was a Monopoly board; I would be a millionaire from the number of times I have passed 'Go' to collect $200. At times, I let the smallest distraction become a monster of an obstacle. I've thrown my arms up in the air many times threatening to give up. Luckily, I never did!
I eventually came to realize that a journey this difficult MUST be worth the travels. So, I carried on, and it's been worth every step. Obstacles are only obstacles if we allow them to be, and people/events/ideas will only get in the way of our dreams if we give them the power to do so. Otherwise, the POWER is all in us.
So, this leap year, let's take more Leaps of Faith. After all, a Leap of Faith requires Faith, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." Need I say more?
Until we meet again,
by KAMONDA P.
Each of us has a course in life that we are to follow. The length of this course is different for all of us, yet each one has a starting line and a finish line. How we run this course or whether we stay on course is solely up to us. But, you have to run your race; otherwise you'll never know how far you can go.
Don't live a life filled with regrets or with unfulfilled promises. Run your race and live a life of purpose. Whatever your purpose may be, only you can fulfill it. It is different for everyone, so don't compare your life to someone else's and don't compare your purpose to anyone else's. You are uniquely you and only you can complete your race.
Enter your race with preparation and training. Prepare by evicting negative mindsets. You know the ones that tell you what you can't do and why you shouldn't do it. You kick F.E.A.R to the curb to overcome those excuses which have kept you stuck. Replace those thoughts with words of victory. I can do this! My race has already been won! You may have already had some practice runs. Those times you started out but couldn't quite finish, it's okay. Those times were just training, building up your endurance for the actual race.
As you move forward one step at a time. Keep your vision in front of you. See it often, live it in every detail of your mind. Don't allow your thoughts to cause you to forget or to distract you. Don't give up or quit!
You may not know when it will happen, just trust that it will happen, and it will!
Maintain a good attitude even when it seems the race isn't going well or in your favor. Keep your goals in front of you. Keep running! Stay focused!
Run your race with focus and perseverance. See the finish line ahead of you. Don't get distracted by those running beside you; if you turn to look, you're likely to stumble or get off course. Sometimes you'll pull ahead, and other times you'll fall behind. Keep running! Feel the adrenaline (your passion), pumping through you, giving you that extra boost you need to jump those hurdles. At times, you will sprint with a burst of speed giving it everything you have. At other times, it's like a cross country race. Mile after mile, over smooth and rough terrain but keep forging ahead you'll eventually cross that finish line.
You'll have fans on the sidelines. Some will cheer you on, some will want to join your race, and others will be there secretly hoping you fall. Your race is your race. Only you can run it!
If you finish your race, you've set the stage and cleared the way for someone else to enter their own race.
You are destined to leave your unique mark on someone's life, your community, or even the world. You won't know how your life can impact someone else's until you enter the race.
Now, Run Forrest Run!…(I couldn't resist)
Today, I was prompted to display my accomplishments on a table located in my living-room in acknowledgment and gratitude to God for the gifts and talents He has bestowed on me. As I was reflecting, it dawned on me that most of my success has been achieved after the age 40. I wrote and published my first book, "The Art of Forgiving" at 45, wrote and produced my stage play, "A Change Is Gonna Come" at 47, became a best-selling author with my second book, "Know Your Worth (Overcoming the Dragon of Low Self-Esteem)" and receive a "Best Director" award at 50, there is no stopping me! I say that to say; it's never too late to achieve your dreams. If you can dream it–you can achieve it! Dream bigger, dream better, stretch beyond your wildest imagination, visualize farther than your eyes can see!
The only stumbling-block standing between you and your dreams is your FAITH – not your age; not your race; not your social status; not your employment; not your children: not your finances; (Come on, let's hear it, what other list of excuses do you have that I have not stated here?) — Your stumbling block is your FAITH! If you truly "Believe", then you CAN "Achieve"!
OK, I agree, "Timing is essential." But timing doesn't supersede goal planning and preparation. Many opportunities are missed because proper planning was not initiated. When opportunity knocked, many were not prepared to answer. When the time comes…will you be ready?
Many times God is waiting for you to "open your mouth." Psalm 81:10b states, "Open wide your mouth and I will fill it." Which equates to, "Ask, and it shall be given (Matthew 7:7a). My last point of validation is that maybe "you have not, because you ask not." (James 4:2b). Don't be afraid to speak your dreams. I'm often declaring and proclaiming that my stage play, "A Change Is Gonna Come" will be on Broadway! I also say that I am going to win a Tony award. I am not afraid to speak my dreams and work towards it as I speak it.
Again, I reiterate, it's never too late, and I might add you're never too young either to achieve your dreams. We need MORE young entrepreneurs, as well. We should be training them up right NOW! NOW, is the appointed time! NOW is the season! What are you waiting for? Pursue your dreams!
Now, I want you to start a journal. Start writing down your dreams, desires, and goals. Visualize it! Believe It! Activate It! Achieve It! As my mentor, Tyler Perry says, "Dream Bigger!"

Grand Theft Auto United is a modification based on 'GTA San Andreas' for the PC. The target of this modification is to unite in only one game the game areas, the so called 'maps', of the two GTA Games 'GTA III' and 'GTA Vice City' on basis of the graphic- and physic engine of 'GTA San Andreas'. The map of 'GTA San Andreas' therefore gets replaced.
Finally here it is. The official GTA United wallpapers collection in it's first version. Enjoy it!

For my 8x20 camera, and also for 8x10, I use a large quick release Manfrotto it's a 100mmx100mm, and a very good manfrotto head and a stable tripod(I don't remember the brand) It's very useful and perfect for my 8x20. I put here the image of this quick release: Best Stefano

Kefalos is situated at the western end of Kos Island (the opposite end to Kos Town).
The small town is situated on top of a hill with views from the edge of it over the surrounding countryside, whilst the resort is strung out around Kefalos Bay beneath it. We stayed at the Sacallis Inn Hotel situated immediately behind the beach.
At one end of the bay there is a small harbour, whilst at the other end, not far from the Sacillis Hotel are the remains of the Basilica of Agios Stefanos, which dates back to the sixth century.

Jewelry >
Heins JewelersNeighborhoods: East Columbus
Heins Jewelers-poor craftsmanship and poor customer service – I recently had Heins Jewelers re-size both my engagement ring and 2 anniversary bands. I asked for an estimate on having the engagement ring shank reconstructed as it is rather thin. I received a call the next day stating the goldsmith doesn't feel it needs reconstucted and they will proceed with resizing. I was pleased as I felt that this meant I would avoid some costs! Imagine how I felt when I went in today to pick them up and all 3 of the rings are thinner and uneven/warped. The woman helping me expressed apologies for the my dissatisfaction and called a gentleman over. He told me that he didn't know if they were more thin or not as he did not check the rings in! I was completely surprised at an employee speaking to a customer in this manner especially after I told them theyy were definitely thinner. Before I left I explained to the woman helping me that they lost a customer over this and the goldsmith should know that he did an unacceptable job. She started to call the gentleman over again and I told her he didn't care as he simply walked away and "hid" in an office after telling me that he didn't know they were thinner. My conlcusion is that Heins Jewelers: a) does not care about customer satsifaction and b) has an incompetent goldsmith. Unfortuantely for them, they have lost customer!

Lads from Lagos cut off
The lads from Lagos, and lots of other more deserving folk, have lost all internet access, thanks to the failure of a submarine cable linking West Africa to Spain and Portugal. Reports suggest Benin, Niger, Nigeria and Togo have all lost connections. Telcos are trying to find alternative routes, such as satellite links, but …
What's the betting?
That the "cable failure" is 'cos the thieving bastards nicked it for the copper?
At least...
"but this process is likely to take a week to ten days at least."
If it is "at least" as week, why mention the ten days?
Contract details
Of course, if you want that cable fixed, you'll first need to send a non-refundable deposit...
An ill wind
Sad for all the legitimate businesses etc, but I'll miss all the offers of free money (yeah, right).
Terrible News
This is terrible news. I was so close to receiving the £38,000,000 that a kind gentleman in Africa found in my dead great grandad's bank account that I never knew about after I paid him 'fore thosand us dollers' to release the funds. I hope these honest individuals get their connection back soon so I can get my riches, bitches.
I thought the actual source of these spam messages was a distributed grid of pwned hardware which are unlikely to be affected much by this outage.
Mind you, I'm sure I remember someone explaining how the internet was supposed to be able to repair itself magically by rerouting around breaks like this. Sounds like I've been sold a lemon. Where can I get a refund for this broken internet?
A reduction in spam
Well, the legitimate net users in West Africa will certainly have a reduction in spam for the next week!
C#Loud Controls for AIMinders
That's an interesting exercise of InterNetworking Muscle. And a timely reminder of New Real Communification Facilities. An Astute Senior Service.
Bids, anybody?
I wonder how much we'd need to pay the ISPs to NOT reconnect Nigeria?
All donations to www.dontreconnectnigeriauntiltheyenforcethelaw.org
Good evening kind sir,
I am secretary to big boss of african telecom giant. my boss has two hundred and fifty million USA dollars in secret bank account due to buying substandard cabling for internets and I need to get it out of country....
Coat? What coat?
by their own petard? As TeeCee said... bet they nicked the copper, and ruined their neighbour's lucrative 419 scam on Ben S!
Or maybe a badger ate its way through?
The e-vermin are also using the mail
I received a letter yesterday (2nd class Royal Mail stamp - cheapskates) from "The Desk of Chun Duyi of the Nanyang Commerclal Bank, China. Apparently my last name matches that of a dead intestate depositor, and the kind Mr Chun Duyl wants to share USD 8.5M with me.
This Chinese bank official has, amazingly, 2 phone numbers actually based in HK, rather than Lagos.
If anyone has the energy to wind-up this twat (it's OK, big Dave says I can use that word):
t: +852-8170-1514
f: +852-3014-6379
Any volunteers?
UR doin it wrong
Couple of cable in the med, few cables off south africa and one or two coming out of california under the pacific. Cut those buggers at the same time and it all goes very very wrong for the internet and global communications.
I love how an idea to make a really robust network, when implemented by the lowest bidder, becomes a creaking pile of crap with so many weak spots that a child of five could plan an attack to bring it down.
That is a sin
Think of all the people who now cannot get thier moneys from dead generals out of contry to other banks, there is millins of us dollars just waiting to be tranfered to otherseas banks.
Only one cable?
This is the Internet. I thought we were supposed to have a way around this kind of shit. Didn't we call it packet switching or something?
"not usually a lot of copper in fiber optic lines"
You're forgetting that they would have to dig them up and cut them in half to find out that they were fibre-optic lines...
@David S
"I'm sure I remember someone explaining how the internet was supposed to be able to repair itself magically by rerouting around breaks like this"
Well yes, but it's not *magic*. If you pull the Ethernet cable out of your PC it won't route round that either.
The lads from Lagos
Don't always stay in Lagos. I recall a recent bust where all the 419ers were all illegal immigrants working out of internet cafes in Amsterdam.
I always rather enjoy my emails from the 419 crowd. Approached with the right frame of mind, they're a fun read. On the other hand I've never got anything but spam and hack attempts from China, Korea or Russia.
Is there any way of blowing them off the net? Please?
Lotsa coppa
@easyk - There's a bunch of copper in those submarine cables. Every few miles there are optical repeaters embedded into the cable. Something's gotta supply the power to give those tired photons a boost. Here's to them!
@ Sergie Kaponitovicz
I wouldn't be too quick to mock Sergie, I'm guessing that your surname is fairly infrequent so maybe it IS a relative that you don't know about.
Got to be worth a try.
Go on.
You'd regret it if you didn't.
It's just there waiting for you.
Give it a call.
C. Duyi
Call centres outsourced?
A lot of companies were sold on Nigeria as the new alternative to India for this type of outsourcing. The cable was to replace the expensive and periodically operational satellite coverage.
@ Stephen McLeod Blythe
I am sure that your comment was posted in good faith, BUT....It was NOT an email.
Quote, with EMPHASIS:
"I received a LETTER yesterday (2nd CLASS ROYAL MAIL STAMP - cheapskates) from "The Desk of Chun Duyi of the Nanyang Commerclal Bank, China."
If you wish to take this up with 419baiters.com I will happily re-address the letter to you for you to scan and pass on. It could be amusing reading.
If you want to go for it, contact me at sergie.419.xoxy.net That's a disposable email address hosted by http://www.spamgourmet.com It's a terrific service. Send me your email address and we will take it from there.
Yrs Sergie
The banks are paralysed? No wonder I didn't get that $300,000 inheritance from a distant relative yet, and no wonder my e-mails to my agent in Nigeria remain unanswered.
Dr Evil
It's happening again! Some evil genius is extending his empire of underwater evil cities, all hooked into the fattest cables on Earth.
@ Rod Mclean and others.
You're forgetting that they would have to dig them up and cut them in half to find out that they were fibre-optic lines...
Subsea cables are just laid on the sea-bed. There's no digging involved.
Also, packets can only take alternate routes where one exists. The Internet isn't designed so that every piece of equipment will always work all the time - it's designed so that individual equipment failures don't bring the whole thing down. If a SPoF actually fails then any equipment using that node will lose connectivity with the rest of the network.
Thats ruined it then
I have only ever had 1 419 scam, so now I am going to have to wait even longer for no2.
Am I doing the internets wrong? The way you lot go on I should be getting a couple a day!
The scambaiters' site
is 419eater.com, not 419baiters.com (which is the site of a cybersquatter).
@Chris Pearson: You're protecting your email address too effectively. Post your email address openly on a few blogs, forums and social networking sites and the scam offers will come rolling in (along with the penis-enlargement, viagra, russian-bride and sex-aid spam). Do not do this if you value your main email address, perhaps use one of the spare addresses you get from your ISP or set up your own domain (Hotmail and Gmail filter such spam too effectively to be of much use for this, although you could set it to save all the spam in the junk folder and check that on a daily basis before it gets deleted). Have fun!
One cable
Reminds me of a quote I saw on USENET:
"I believe the current state of the art is to have distributed, load-balanced single points of failure to implement high unavailability."
@Michael 28
More fool the guys who've outsourced their Call Centres to Nigeria, Some companies have already had problems with the pay differential making Indian centres quite cheap to bribe, Fifty quid is a _hell_ of a lot of money to one of those guys. I can't imagine our precious consumer data would be particularly expensive on the Nigerian black market.
@ Terry Barnes
"Subsea cables are just laid on the sea-bed. There's no digging involved"
That all depends where the cable has been cut, if it is quite close to shore it was very likley buried (using trenching tools)
Actually "they" try to trench as much of the cable as possible to avoid easy cuts.
@Ben Schofield, 30.07.2009, 1402GMT
"This is terrible news. I was so close to receiving the £38,000,000 ... ."
Dear Mr Schofield,
Please read your information; I think you'll find they meant ZWD 38,000,000 (Zimbabwean Dolloars) which amounts to about £0.61 (really - check it out)..
Naturally this is subject to change and to surcharges and all other reasonable costs we can think up.
Sincerely yous,
. . .

Shows what you know. I have wireless backup. Nyah.

text: Enforcement Award Tuesday, April 20, 2010 Chuck Geveden, Executive Director of the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety presented the Oldham County Police Department the "4 E's Highway Safety Enforcement Award" for the state of Kentucky. Geneden said, "Oldham County has maintained a strong highway safety program for over 15 years. The department has continued to provide matching funds for the majority of these years because of their strong commitment to save lives and reduce injuries in their community". The "4 E awards" were presented to Engineering, Education, Enforcement and Emergency Services. The department maintains a section on their web site dedicated to traffic safety, which indicates targeted enforcement through saturation patrols and traffic safety checkpoints to keep the citizens aware of problem locations. The department has led regional efforts by partnering with the LaGrange Police Department and serving as the administrating agency for highway safety projects, said Geveden. We value our partnership with the Oldham County Police Department and thank them for their continued dedication and commitment to highway safety, said Geveden. Accepting the award on behalf of the Oldham County Police Department was the assistant chief of police, Lieutenant Colonel Billy Way.
