10 Major Sales to Kick Start Your August
In the world of shopping, August is a time when every retailer is having some sort of summer sale to make room for fall product. Since it's the end of the season, selection is spotty and stock rarely lasts long—but that's part of the thrill! Few things are more wonderful than discovering the last pair of Rag & Bone booties are not only your size, but also 90 percent off.
You're bound to find deals on any e-commerce site this month, but I'd recommend starting with the 10 in the slideshow below. Click through to start saving now!
3. Modcloth.com
There are enough retro-chic swimsuits, sundresses and sandals in this site's sale section to get you through the end of summer without blowing your fall budget. My top recommendations? This floral fit-and-flare for $55.99 (originally $79.99) and these printed sandals that clash with it, but in a really cool way.

Checking In
Just checking in during a busy week of stitching and driving the kids to summer fun. Remember those Kona swatches I showed you not long ago? The fabric arrived and I've been busy cutting and piecing. Lots and lots of flying geese!
I also made a second modified Radiant Splendor Block. Can't wait to have more time to dive into this project and finish writing the full quilt pattern.
And in anticipation of school starting in 5 weeks, I'm getting my sewing room more organized and efficient. I just put together a new cutting table (see the back corner of the room). This is the Martha Stewart Living Craft Space Three Drawer Flat File Cabinet from Home Decorations Collection (part of Home Depot). I've always cut on my sewing table which I love…but it's made of reclaimed wood and is a bit "hilly" – not an entirely flat surface and it just hasn't been an ideal cutting area. I'm really happy with this new table which is totally flat and taller so I won't need to hunch over anymore. The top drawer is full of my quilting rulers and the bottom 2 have some current project fabric and notions.
Ok, back to the station wagon and sewing machine! Talk to you again soon!

I love your block and can't wait to see the finished quilt. and I really love your sewing space. I always like to peek inside other peoples sewing areas to see how they do things.
Faith, what is that table under your sewing table? I love your space…I wish I had more room!
I love your space. I am crammed into a 8 x 8 area which I can't seem to keep straightened. How I long for such organization. Guess I'll have to wait for my kids to go off to college, so I can commandeer their rooms.
I love your Radiant Star block – can't wait to see the full quilt! Have fun with the kiddos!
Love your new cutting table, especially with the drawers for rulers, what a great solution!
Great pattern !
Looking forward to seeing what happens with the flying geese….
The flying geese look very "rainbow-y" and the arrangement of light to dark has me really intrigued!
Your studio looks so peaceful….and all that light! How nice….
Terrific pattern full of geese! Anticipation is wonderful in 70's music and in quilting.
Faith, I love your new cutting table, especially the storage under it. Can't wait to see what those solid geese become!
Your "radiant splendor" block is lovely!!!
Your "radiant splendor" block is lovely!!!
Those Kona bright & white flying geese look so lovely and crisp… I always have such trouble with flying geese! Your studio looks very tidy at the moment. I'm envious of that big ole table. When I need more room, I have to migrate to the dining room!
Found you via someone's blog, I'm so excited you shared your new cutting table. I just finished removing closet doors in a spare bedroom placing IKEA book cases and two small cubby hole type book cases in this freshly painted room. I was looking for storage to replace my clear plastic bins( that I have loved for many years) but grateful to up-grade to nice pieces of furniture.
I placed my order for your cutting table and the apothecary hutch for the top.(I'm using for cutting table, have one already) thank you for the link and helping me finish up my sewing room! PS Love the flying geese too!
Coincidentally, I've just ordered almost the same table from Home Decorators (I chose the version with more drawers). So glad to know you are pleased with it. I look forward not only to the surface and height, but the opportunity to flat-store cutting boards, rulers and large art papers / mat boards, etcetera.
I made this block using accuquilt go 4 1/2″ quarter square triangles and 2 1/2 " half square triangles from go and sizzix
Nice cheery colors and pattern. Can't wait to see you finished quilt! Thanks for sharing!
My grandmother's buffet is in the dining room where I usually sew. Palm to forehead: I just realized the other night that it's the perfect height for use as a cutting table. Revolutionary. Love the look of your sewing room!
Wow. I am in awe of how CLEAN it is!!!!
Love the Radiant Star block!! The geese in solids gives me inspiration. I can't wait to see your projects finished!!
Thanks so much for the heads-up on the Martha Stewart furniture. I've been looking for shelving for over my cutting table and I think I've found just the hutch that will work…..thank you!!!!!

text: The Cartoon Lounge August 12, 2008 In Case You Did Nazi It… By Drew Dernavich Continuing with the Hitler theme, here's a question: can swastikas be funny? The answer is yes, and when they're bursting forth from the mind of fellow New Yorker cartoonist Sam Gross, they can also be trivial, absurd, and perverted, according to "We Have Ways of Making You Laugh," Sam's uncensored stream-of-consciousness riff on the notorious Nazi symbol. Whereas most cartoonists try to milk every bit of archetypal power they can get out of their symbols, Sam's approach here is to do the opposite: to beat, batter, and humiliate the icon until it has been eviscerated—drained of every last ounce of whatever terrible unconscious power it still has. It's a brazen idea, definitely not for everybody. But it's a book that perhaps only Sam could have done, and it finds him still at the top of his game.—Drew Dernavich Drew Dernavich is a cartoonist. He has been contributing to The New Yorker since 2002 and has published over two hundred and fifty cartoons. Bio All work &

Donna D'Errico is canceling her life-long dream quest to find Noah's Ark because she fears if she makes the trip ... she might never return.
D'Errico announced her plans in January to head out on an expedition to Mount Ararat in Turkey -- where the Bible says the Ark came to rest -- something she's wanted to do since she was a little girl. She's been training to make the climb for the past 12 weeks and it's all been filmed for an eight-part documentary.
But now D'Errico is scrapping the plans, telling TMZ she now fears for her safety if she goes.
First, her hiking partner canceled because of death threats. Then, her guide (a local Kurdish man) "relentlessly attempted to talk [her] out of" going ... and eventually he jumped ship as well.
It's probably best she leaves the treasure hunting to the experts ... like Indiana Jones or The Goonies.
Oh well. Maybe she can search for Atlantis instead... or leprechaun gold... or a brain.
1. Who?
2. Noah's Ark? What's next, Santa's Toy Factory?
3. Who?
Wow...what a nutjob. The same loon that supported Ron Paul. A washed up actress and Playmate that noone remembers. She should still go..and get lost in the mountains. Maybe just doesn't wanna go to Turkey so she doesn't get pat down again by the TSA? LMAO...
What's a Donna D'Errico and why is it taking up space that could be spent keeping me up to date on the whole Xatar situation?
It's nice to hear she at least has aspirations.
So many in Hollywood settle for what comes there way.
Cheers for those like Donna who go after what matters to them in this world.
What, may I ask, is this woman's claim to fame? I, personally, have NEVER heard of her.
It helps the trip if you look for things that actually existed, too.
So not going was probably a good call.
Shame she isn't going. I think she has a good shot at finding something that people have probably been searching for thousands of years.
I actually heard she scrapped these plans so she can concentrate on finding the Ark of the Covenant.
if only Noah had left the dumb blondes off the ark!
darn... what a good headline it would have been to read "D'Errico killed and raped looking for biblical evidence!"
I'm sorry TMZ but Mount Ararad Is in Armenia and not Turkey. Please change this Information on your Blog. Its one of our most proud Hystorical Facts .
Thank You.
Actualy, Mount Ararat is in Armenia.
I believe in GOD and that there was indeed an ark with Noah on it. I don't need someone to find it to prove to me. And, no, I don't believe in Santa, but the guy in my house who "plays" him for my kids each year gives me plenty of gifts.
Hoe absurd! I just spent two months in Eastern Turkey and never felt unsafe. Mount Ararat is a beautiful place with many climbers coming from all over the world on a daily basis..if anything the Mount Ararat area is to touristy but unsafe absolutley NOT!!!

Buying a knock-off is one thing … but making your own knock-off? Try searching for "Louboutin red soles" on eBay, and you'll find a couple dozen auctions for red adhesive soles in the style of the classic Christian Louboutin touch. Some are being marketed as a product to use as protection for your real Loubs, but it's also a sneaky way to make your pumps look like the real thing. Would you do this to your shoes? Think it's a clever or stupid idea? [eBay] Keep reading »

My thoughts on the 'Facebook Parenting: For the troubled teen'…
I should seriously be keeping an eye on my dinner and working on my social stats assignment that's due on Monday, but I just saw this video and I have to write something about it.
Yes, it's too extreme, but I applaud the dad for making this video.. I am not saying it's a good idea for the dad to put 9 bullets into the computer, but I like how the dad is telling the daughter and the world what a mess she has gotten herself into through that letter she posted on facebook. Heck, how many kids nowadays get paid to do chores at home? Not me. As much as I hate doing chores, it's only fair for me to do something at home as part of my responsibility to the family.
I hope this is a wake-up call for the daughter, that many things that we kids take for granted, (and I am not just talking about iPhones or cameras), can be taken away from you so easily. At least she has a dad that cares. His response to her letter, while extreme, shows that he does want her to learn a lesson from her wrong-doings. She's still young, but imagine this girl doing the same when she's already out in the society to work and complaining about her employer on facebook, she can lose a job.
The Chinese term '冇家教' (pronounced 'mo-ga-gaau' in Cantonese) literally means no family teaching. Teaching you what? Having your dads and moms around to teach you these things you won't be able to learn in school when you are young. These teachings can reflect how you act in the future. I've seen and met many people who just don't realise they are behaving irresponsibly and disrespectfully, guess their parents never taught them the 'right' and 'proper' way to do things and treat people.. Yes, our parents may be 'mean' and 'nasty' to us, and never pay us for the chores we do, but they also take in a lot of our bad behaviour, tantrums and pay for a lot of things in our life (at least mine did). They are not the perfect, flawless parents, but I've definitely learnt to try and be as responsible as I can and treat people as respectfully as I can.
I still remember to this day, my dad pulling me aside to talk to me after I made a snarky remark to my mom. I do miss having him around to 'kindly remind' me not to do certain things or say certain words, and I'd do anything to have this chance again… Last time, it was more than 4 years ago. My dad knew that my mom and I don't exactly see things the same way. Given my occasional sarcasm and my mom's stubbornness, when the two of us lock horns with each other, it's just not good.
Before you start ranting and typing hateful comments/statuses/letters about your parents, think about how lucky you actually are.

Why Yemen needs a US reset, and not a retreat.

Our South Sudan Country Director Mathieu Rouquette met these two little girls in the market in Bentiu, Unity State, when they peeked their heads into a camera shop that recently received a Mercy Corps business grant.
"They were pretty amazed looking at the pictures coming out the printer," he said. "I asked my colleague Matthew to see if they wanted their own photo. They were so sweet, they smiled timidly, looking down. I had not realized that one of them was hearing impaired." But photos communicate beyond words. After a taking a few pictures and hooking the camera up to the printer, "Two copies of the picture came out. Their faces lit up, right before they stormed out of the little shop constructed of sheet metal."
These simple moments of hope and happiness can be rare in South Sudan, where ongoing conflict with Sudan has made violence, hunger and displacement a daily reality for hundreds of thousands of people.

If you want to learn about the Arab Awakening, hang out with some teenagers in Tunisia. Our Communications Director Joy Portella spent an afternoon in Gafsa with a group from the Global Citizen Corps, a Mercy Corps program that mobilizes young people, links them up with other youth networks around the world, and helps them take action on issues ranging from environmental degradation to access to education. Joy writes:
Today, young people in Gafsa are hopeful but not naïve. One 15-year old GCC member told me, "Life was complicated before the revolution. People wanted to make change but they couldn't." Her 21-year-old friend chimed in, "Now we need to change ourselves; we need to find out what we're capable of."

- Consistently greatMelbDined on 10/29/2014La Tavola is consistently delicious. I never have to worry about them having a "bad night". For the first 10 or so times I was there, I always got the Salumi Board for an appetizer and the Mushroom Ragu Tagliolini for my main course. This most recent time I tried instead the Squid Ink linguini (squid ink something, I don't really remember). Totally awesome. I think even better than the Mushroom Ragu. Basically if you're having a night when you don't want to have to worry about rolling the dice if you'll have a good meal, La Tavola is perfect.Special Features:
- First timers!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/27/2014It was our first time at this restaurant. The print on the wine list was so small that three out of four at the table could not read it. Out of the first two selections none were available. After very nice aps three people ordered pasta dishes and one had a veal dish. The pasta was well received and the veal dish must have been sitting under the heat lamp waiting for the pasta to be ready. While the veal was a little dried out the flavors were first rate and would be tried again. The tables just in front of the kitchen give the feeling of sitting at a table in a busy train station at rush hour.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great Restaurant in AtlantaRestaurantExpertDined on 10/25/2014This is a restaurant that my sister and I were recommended by one of the local residents in the Virginia Highlands area of Atlanta. The restaurant was very accommodating since my guest arrived an hour late for the reservation. We had the rabbit, lasagna and zuppa de pesce and all the entrees were good. The desserts were good bit the canola was more Atlanta cuisine than Italian. The canoli shell was fried like most foods in the south but was not bad. Good restaurant with pretty good service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Never disappoints!OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 9/11/2014La Tavola remains my favorite restaurant for the outstanding food, service and value it offers. This evening we chose the pasta special which had roasted squash and chanterelle mushrooms and was delicious, as every pasta dish here has been. Their fish specials are always good as well and we both thought this one was among the best we've had anywhere. It was amberjack over roasted corn and faro in a sauce with flavors that were wonderful and an aroma that delighted from the moment the dish was placed on the table. We finished with the flourless chocolate cake (our favorite dessert) and vanilla semifreddo - a decadent delight! Service was terrific, and every member of staff was friendly and helpful - working together to please patrons.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

And our server was super helpful with wine recommendations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OK but not memorableRobundleDined on 8/30/2014We had dinner with friends. The ambiance is nice. It's a quaint neighborhood restaurant. On the downside, our server annoyed me because she insisted on pouring the wine remaining in the bottle to the guests even though we told her we wanted to pour it ourselves so that everyone had an equal amount. She basically filled up two glasses and left the other two guests (who just happened to drink a little bit more slowly) without a second glass of wine. I had a type of ravioli with squash and ricotta cheese that was the tiniest portion I've ever had in an Italian restaurant. I also asked the server if it was a heavy dish and she said no, but guess what, it was floating in a dense cream or butter sauce. Yuck. The wine was overpriced too.

anyone do these? just a week and a half ago I remembered reading about them, and tried them for the first time..... they seemed pretty effective and not just the peak area of the trap, but a little bit of anterior deltoid as well? it was just an all encompassing upper shoulder feeling of stress/pump/work/howeveryouwanttocallit
this was not used as a primary exercise for the traps, I still did my normal shrug routine.... but does it seem like a logical thing to add? or was the feeling of effectiveness just a fluke because it was such a random and different range of motion?

Thread: overhead shrugs

[UPDATE: Some customers reported full or partial restoration of service from around 1pm. At 1.19pm, Telecom's official Twitter account weighed in with: "Some sites are back up, this is not yet stable. Please bear with us." As of 6.17pm, the telco said all of the 80,000 to 90,000 customers affected should have services restored.
Some cell sites became congested as traffic returned in a rush.
For those still experiencing problems, Telecom recommends turning off your cellphone, removing its battery, waiting several seconds, then reinserting it and restarting.]

XT outage was beyond Third World - Tuanz
Telecom issues advisory for those still having trouble with XT
Was freebie data stick promo behind XT's horror day?
Since 4.30am this morning, Telecom XT customers from Taupo to the southern tip of the country have been without voice, txt or mobile broadband service.
Details have been scant through Telecom's website or through official press statements, but an email sent to corporate clients and obtained by NBR explains: "an unplanned restart of our Christchurch XT Mobile RNC switch which has resulted in the majority of XT cell sites south of Taupo not operating."
Restoration of service is expected "later today".
One switch, two switch ...
Regardless of issues of 2G fallback (discussed below), one industry insider told NBR the problem was that Telecom only had two RNC switches ("a large bit of kit that coordinates all the traffic coming in and out of the network from cellsites").
Telecom has two RNCs - one for Taupo and north (located in Auckland), the other for everything south of Taupo (located in Christchurch). Each has multiple redundant parts, but apparently not the ability to cover for the other. Vodafone, by contrast, has five "which cover each other" and a sixth coming on stream during summer.
Telecom had no immediate comment on the RNC theory.
Achilles' heel
The catastrophic outage reveals the new network's Achilles' heel: XT's sole reliance on 3G spectrum.
Telecom has a second nationwide network, of course - it's older CDMA service- but that's incompatible with its shiny new XT.
Vodafone customers, by contrast, should be able to trip down to its older 2.5G/2G (GPRS/GSM) service when 3G stuffs out - for their phones are compatible with the telco's older network.
I've consistently found XT faster in more places, as advertised, but this is one area where Vodafone, at least on paper, has the edge (I say at least on paper since a couple of brief Auckland outages have seen Vodafone's 2G network simply overhelmed after 3G has gone down, nullifying any benefit of the backup).
2degrees also has a 3G/2G hybrid network (albeit with the 3G bit still under construction) in main centres, giving it the same fall-back benefit (and elsewhere, it piggybacks on Vodafone's infrastructure).
Above: blogger Lance Wiggs promotes a freestyle reinterpretation of Telecom's XT coverage map.
A so-so effort keeping customers in the loop
A number of people have complained about the lack of information on Telecom's home page, or its XT home page (certainly, I couldn't find any; I'm sure it's there somewhere, but it should be front and centre).
A number of customers questioned Telecom's assertion that emergency calls could still be made. on XT mobiles that seemed "as dead as a brick" as one Twitter use put it.
Telecom's Twitter team deserves more kudos. Updates have been constantly flowing through the social network (follow Telecom on Twitter here).
And customers of Telecom's corporate division, Gen-i got sent detailed messages from chief executive Chris Quin at 9:41am, 11:04am, 12:16pm and 2:15 pm.

Uh hello? where was Vodafones 2G when their Auckland 3G network trashed itself for 24 hours? I seem to recall that it was as dead as a dodo too
My understanding is that Vodafones 2G network uses the same network core as their 3G network and as most network problems happen at the network core (as XT's is demonstrating today), their much vaunted 2G newtwork wouldnt be much use.
Great coverage but come on Chris check your facts and aim for balance
[Vodafone spokesman Paul Brislen says on this point: "3G steps down to GPRS down to GSM. It would be a rare event that would take out all three layers".
As noted in the article, sometimes this fallback gets overwhelmed.
Telecom has yet to respond to a request for comment on the cause of the outage - CK]
This is great. We are all dying out here. This is the first time I experience this long outage. !!
Spectrum is irrelevant.
If the cellsites are connected to the same switch or RNC (which they would for effective handover) and the switch or RNC goes down, everything goes down. There is no graceful failover.
As Mr Brislen points out, it is a rare event that takes out all the layers. Its called a switch failure. Seems like that is what happened today
[NBR's information is that Vodafone has five RNCs, and a degree of redundancy built in, whereas Telecom has two, one for Taupo south, one for Taupo north - CK]
And it's back. In Wellington, at least.
is why it has taken so long to recover the situation.
The network has been down from at least 6 am this morning.
My guess - an upgrade to the switch failed, insufficient testing carried out before the impact was noticed,with probably an untested DR process that has taken longer than expected to implement.
Having said that, the Telecom twitter team are showing the rest of the organisation how to handle comms in this kind of disaster event. Well done people!
Miki, stop deluding yourself their twittering was pretty much awful. TelecomNZ tweeted that service would be restored at 10:30am, and then completely failed to deliver. That is the first rule in an outage crisis- don't make promises you can not keep.
Well regardless of what Mr Brislen says when VFs network spat the dummy in Auckland (wasn't that for 24 hours??) 2G definitely didnt work for me or anyone I know.
It looks like Vodafone have wasted no time in contacting and "Educating" you - were they this proactive when their network died?
I've been with Vodafone since 2001 and in that time I've only noticed the network down once and that was for no more than an hour. I reported it and Vodafone handled the issue very well.
Perhaps Telecom will build in a greater level of redundancy in future if Visionstream can find the staff to do it.
The first rule in an outage crisis was to communicate with customers to let them know what is going on. With the Telecom Twitter team there is someone on the other end of the avatar.
Setting an expectation is fine - their error was not resetting that before 10am rolled around
"Website maintenance
We're sorry, but we are temporarily unable to provide Broadband Usage Meter information. For further details and updates, please follow this link."
That's been the message since Friday for Broadband customers. Not being able to check usage is frustrating. Not being listed as a fault is glossing over the issue. And not answering calls to the help desk after 10 mins is doubly frustrating. Perhaps the helpdesk are on XT?
My wife has just upgraded to XT. At the time she did, she was warned the battery life on her phone would be about 1.5 days (on standby). She and the other principals in her firm are charging their phones at least once a day.
Telecom's website says the phone in question has 2.4 hours talktime and 10 days standby battery life. When asked why it was discharging so quickly, they were told by the Telecom rep that it was because of XT (which I find hard to understand, but there's no other explanation).
As much as I love new technology, I'll be hanging on to my old CDMA phone for as long as possible - or switching to another network...
Sorry to sound like Monty Python's Four Yorkshiremen but you're lucky. We do not get XT coverage here at all, despite Telecom claiming that we do and trying to get me to convert from the 0274 network through regular phone calls. When I ask them if they've got coverage here yet, they say 'we'll get back to you on that' and never do. It was only by going into a Telecom agent and actually pointing our house on their screen that I was able to confirm that they knew we had little or no coverage. I contacted their Contact Centre Manager about this and he said, 'Yes, I agree, we're selling a product that's actually not working at the moment.' And if you wonder why I don't just switch to Vodafone, their network isn't that good here either. The impact of all this is that I have to use an old phone and phone messages and texts don't always get through. Are we out in the middle of nowhere? Not exactly - I live and work 8 mins from NZ's largest shopping centre at Albany.
Hi "disenfranchised" have you tried using a Vodafone phone that is compatible with BOTH their 3G frequencies? That is one that works on both 2100 & 900Mhz UMTS (WCDMA)? These phones are often advertised as working on the Extended 3G Network.
It might pay to give this a try - or if you have a friend that has one of these phones.
Here are a few examples of compatible Extended 3G phones:
* Vodem Stick
* Vodem Stick Pro
* Nokia 3120C
* Nokia 5320
* Nokia 5800
* Nokia 6121
* Nokia E63
* Nokia E71
* Nokia E75
* Nokia N85
* Nokia N96
* Sony Ericsson X1
It might pay to also check the Vodafone Coverage maps:
I agree with anon R - plugging voda products does indeed give the impression that you're an employee not a fan boy. Either way its in pretty poor taste.
Paddy, the reason is simple: most battery life quotes consider a mix of 2G and 3G use. Telecom ditched its GSM network after completing it but before switching it on (meh, what's $30m between friends) so there is no 2G in the Telecom network.
That means your phone is permanently on 3G.
That means it'll drain the battery so fast you could use it as a fan to keep you cool while you hunt for the next power outlet to charge it up.
iPhones are particularly prone to this. On Vodafone they'll last for a couple of days - on Telecom you'll be lucky to hit one full day of stand by.
I was interrested in your comment about battery life. My crappy R7 normally goes for three days between charging. I text about 10- 20 per day, the odd bit of data amd perhaps 5 mins a day of voice calls. The fully charged battery did get a hammering today and I can only assume it was because the phone was transmitting at full power trying to find a working cell site! Ahh well, works now. All forgiven untill next time.
I dont thinbk I've seen so many Vodafone staff trolling, making hay ever... I think you all know who you are and throwing stones when you live iin a glass house isnt terribly smart.
This comment stream seems to consist of vast amounts of disinformation interspersed with the odd helpful and constructive comment.
It amazes me why the Telecom fanboys feel the need to assume that some posts on this topic are coming from Vodafone staff.
I for one do not work for Vodafone, however I am a happy Vodafone customers & have been for 8 years. I have posted what I consider to be helpful information, so I assume the last paragraph applies to me RE: helpful and constructive comment??
Obviously there are some questions to be answered about Telecom's XT Network, after a very major outage today (no matter who people may work for), following on from another outage only three weeks ago!!
People have a right to voice their opinion as you have done yourself.
R I agree that the engineers at Telecom who sweated bullets fixing what looks like a pretty hairy and very complex outage, will be asking some tough questions, but I think the voda fanboys and voda staff should trad carefulkly - remember the march vodafone network meltdown in march?
Here's what the NBR wrote about it at the time, and I thnk any writers of comments about failover to 2G should re-read the article, here's an extract "The outage affected 3G voice calls and data. Voice calls should have automatically tripped down to 2.5G, but Mr Brislen says the 2.5G network was soon overwhelmed by the surge in traffic, with most calls going straight to voice mail (though two NBR writers found service dropped out altogether)."
So express away voda fanboys but just remember that the Voda network has faiuled in the past and it could do so again, just like XTs did today.
First of all - at no time have I implied that Vodafone's Network is perfect or impervious to the odd technical issue - resulting in some kind of no service affecting it's customers.
Second - I am not plugging Vodafone products - I replied to a poster who was having coverage issues & I have given him some information that *may* help him out - of which I can't see anything wrong with! This is not in poor taste whatsoever, it's called "actually helping someone - unlike your useless post @vege.
Third - take off your Telecom hats & come to the realisation that there is no such thing as a perfect network & Telecom is no exception to this rule.
R your post looks a lot like a plug, even if it is in the guise of attempting to help out someone. I dont support any of the telcos but I do feel that fanboys from all sides of the fence need to get a life
I'm an XT customer but after today's event I can't help but hope the next time those 'creatives' at Saatchi's dream up a campaign like '...Faster In More Places', Telecom considers the pro's and cons especially when linked to technology that is so complex that it requires 24/7 performance monitoring. Mobile networks after all consist of lots and lots of hardware, software, transmission lines (microwave, fibre backhaul), and radio waves etc etc. Bearing these points in mind, when it comes to restoring services we would all be wise to cut Telecom some slack. But what was is becoming less palatable is the constant barrage of advertising messaging
on how great the network is when clearly it's certainly no better, if it's not available in two thirds of the country! I will now be following the performance of this network and comparing it to Telecom's advertising claims with interest.
"until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet"...when people get hurt,specially the people under His grace are hurt. For the people that they hurt,for the workers got laid off,for the worries they made,for the people they rip off,for the tears that fell on each families cheeks, for the dreams they destroyed when the migrant workers were sent home,when they always rape us for their wickedness...for their are no rest for the wicked! For grace have been taken away...just pure bad karma guys,pure bad karma...many more to come
Having worked around the world for various mobile networks, I find it rather pathetic looking at both sides of this Voda Vs Telecom argument hysterically waged by fans of either side.
Two rather Interesting points:
WCDMA is a redundant technology that very few Telco's operate in the world due to its limited growth potential in the technology sector. Spending the dollars Telecom did, was an utter waste. watch Vodafone's network speeds and coverage extend past telecoms in the coming years.
Telecom currently IS the FASTEST network in New Zealand in respect to mobile broadband ... thats about it, you can't argue apples with bananna's so all you Voda Fans stop arguing this with handset range, voda live blah blah blah.
after these two points I'm going to make one simple point. These telco giants in NZ respond to public demand (basic economics people) look at the mobile pricing in Australia as a prime example .. Cap plans, $10 Gb mobile broadband, free handsets worth more than $130 - $199. If the general NZ public knew any better and stopped wanking on about coverage, or how many minutes they receive. The market would become more competitive.
Point in point: Stop claiming to be king of the S$!7 heap ...
As to the post about "Faster in more places" Maybe in reality they should have had the speedboat parked in the Auckland marina to really show speed. One user on a cellsite may be very fast indeed but when you have multiple users on it of course it slows down dramatically.
I have indeed found XT very fast in 'some' places but also use Vodafone and for overall reliability it hasn't let me down yet. By the way - as I found out over 2 months in Wanaka (as well as several other places), although there is very good XT coverage there it may be easier to use dialup as it'll be more reliable than an XT phone for calls & data!
So far in the South (and I do love it when Telecoms cell network goes down at a school I work at - such a laugh) there were several outages when Fibre got cut (over the years) and although Vodafone was working fine (Pre Telecom XT days too) the students seemed to feel as if their arms were chopped off with the inability to txt - yes some students were crying at lunchtime!

Use groff to easily create PDF pages
groff is a fun and easy typesetting utility. If you don't like to use postscript you can also bring in documents in many other formats.
Both are of use
I appreciate your comment. I had looked at FPDF. It is a very good choice for a document where items are placed in various places on the page. It was a little cumbersome, however, for just flowing out long paragraphs of wrapped text. For simple text to a PDF the simple workflow that could be had with groff was a real plus. Also, the source file generated by PHP in this workflow was saveable as a draft version, so later editing of the text file was an option in the groff based workflow, but wouldn't be with the FPDF workflow.

– Down below is the current card for WrestleMania 30:
- WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton vs. Batista
- Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker
- John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt
- Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H (If Bryan wins, he's added to the Main Event)
- 30-Man Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal
Andrews Take: WrestleMania is finally shaping up to the caliber that we all expect. There are a few more matches to be added and with a month away from the biggest show of the year, it is finally getting there.
– WWE has trademarked "Ric Flair". So it looks like they will be using Flair on regular bases for the time being.
Andrews Take: It really is a shame that Jim Ross took all the heat with last year's 2K14 superstar panel. Either way Flair is money and needs it. WWE can use him in various ways (GM, Manager and guest panel) It's a smart move by WWE and Flair himself.
– Zak Ryder has made a new internet show called "Last ReZort" and he really took a shot at WWE. It looks like he wants out of WWE when his contract expires and who can blame him. Check it out below and then you can have your opinion about:
– Batista appears to be having fun on his latest run in WWE. He tweeted the following:
Hell of a week! The most fun since I've been back. Incredible crowds! Great matches and trainings w/ @joshrafferty Back 2 La La Land I go!
— Dave Bautista (@DaveBautista) March 11, 2014
– After breaking the news on Raw that there will be a battle royal for the Andre the Giant trophy at WrestleMania. Hulk Hogan tweeted out the following:
Memphis Energy is crazy,now I know why Jerry Lawler loves to get home after the road,total HULKAMANIACS all the time brother HH
— Hulk Hogan (@HulkHogan) March 11, 2014
The Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WRESTLEMANIA will be History made all over again,I wish I could win it for Andre,only love. HH

"One must picture everything in the world as an enigma, not only the great questions one has always asked oneself … . But rather to understand the enigma of things generally considered insignificant. To perceive the mystery of certain phenomena of feeling … . To live in the world as if in an immense museum of strangeness, full of curious many-colored toys which change their appearance, which, like little children we sometimes break to see how they are made on the inside, and, disappointed, realize they are empty"-
