Ryan Boatright can't watch ESPN because of the 'Journey to the Tourney' ad
Feb 6, 2013, 10:56 AM EST
Considering what UConn went through during the offseason, the performance they've had this season has been remarkable.
After losing Jeremy Lamb and Andre Drummond to the NBA, Alex Oriakhi and Roscoe Smith to transfers, head coach Jim Calhoun to retirement, and their right to play in the postseason to the APR, the Huskies have jumped out to a 15-5 record and a 5-3 start in Big East play.
They've been one of the nation's biggest surprises, a team that all of Connecticut should be able to support.
Because it's not easy to play an entire season knowing that pride and a potential Big East regular season title is all that the future holds.
"It's definitely frustrating, especially when you work hard every day. You put the work in that we put in, and you see other schools that aren't even doing as well as you and they're getting a chance to play in the tournament," point guard Ryan Boatright told reporters. "It's frustrating, but we knew going into the season that we weren't going to be able to (play in the postseason). We're alright."
"I can't even watch ESPN half the time. I see the daggun' 'Journey to the Tourney' commercial every other commercial. I get irritated, so I turn the TV off."
While that may be beneficial to Boatright's studies — or his NBA 2K13 abilities — it's not necessarily a bad thing.
He's probably not sick of the "My Debut Album" commercial yet.

As an Official Activity of the Dogwood Arts Festival and in celebration of the wonders of springtime and the rich heritage that is represented in the many public house museums located within and around Knoxville, two three-hour bus tours will be offered on Saturday, April 27. The two tours will be divided into a morning and afternoon tour.
Each tour will have bus step-on tour guides who will discuss additional points of interest and history as well as highlight historic landmarks in and around Knoxville. The tour will stop at each historic home on the route so that guests may tour the historic homes, grounds, and gardens.
The Morning Tour, 9 a.m.-12 p.m.
Begins at James White's Fort and includes visits to Historic Ramsey House and Marble Springs Historic Farmstead.
Built in 1786, James White's Fort was home to the founder of Knoxville. More than 10,000 visitors tour the Fort each year and experience the frontier lifestyle through hands-on interpretation of Open Hearth Cooking, Blacksmithing and Spinning.
Historic Ramsey House was built in 1797 by Knoxville's first builder, Thomas Hope, for Francis Alexander Ramsey, one of Knoxville's first settlers. Ramsey House's educational programs all incorporate social studies, science, and math, and adhere to state education standards. The programs allow visitors to see and experience how people lived in the 1800's.
Marble Springs was the home of John Sevier (1745-1815), Tennessee's first governor and Revolutionary War hero. The site is a destination for over 2,000 school children and hosts a variety of hands-on workshops and Living History events that give visitors a glimpse into late 18th- and early 19th-century life.
The Afternoon Tour, 1:00-4:00 p.m.
Begins at Blount Mansion and includes visits to The Mabry-Hazen House and Crescent Bend House & Gardens.
Construction on Blount Mansion began in 1792, making it the oldest museum in Knox County. As the birthplace of the state of Tennessee, the site offers educational visits from K-5, and all lesson plans follow the Tennessee State Curriculum. Blount Mansion also hosts field trips for homeschool groups.
Built in 1858 and housing three generations of the same family from 1858-1987, the Mabry-Hazen House served as headquarters for both Union and Confederate forces during the Civil War. Mabry-Hazen offers private tours to individuals and schools, and contains the original family collection of over 5,000 family heirlooms. In addition, the museum oversees the Bethel Cemetery, the resting place for more than 1,600 Confederate Soldiers. The cemetery also contains a small museum built in the caretaker's cottage dating from 1886.
Historic Crescent Bend House & Gardens is one of the Southeast's finest house museums and gardens. Built in 1834 by Drury Paine Armstrong, Crescent Bend was once a 900-acre working farm and so named for its prominent setting overlooking a majestic crescent bend in the Tennessee River just west of downtown Knoxville. Offering museum and garden tours, Crescent Bend also serves as a popular venue for special events.
To purchase tickets or for additional information about the tour or the Historic Homes of Knoxville, please call 865-523-7521 or go online to www.KnoxTIX.com.

David Moyes is expecting a fiery reception from Liverpool fans when he takes Manchester United to Anfield for the first time on Sunday.
Having managed city rivals Everton and now arch-enemies Manchester United, Moyes is not expecting to be a popular man inside the stadium but admitted that he was relishing the occasion.
United won on their last visit and completed the double over Brendan Rodgers' side later in the season.
The Scot has never won at Anfield, and has only tasted victory on three occasions against Liverpool, but is confident on turning that record around.
"Everybody tells me about the big rivalry between Liverpool and United and it was certainly there when I was at Everton as well," he said.
"I would think I'll get as good a reception as I did with Everton.
"It has always been a difficult place to go, but I am looking forward to going back there."
Moyes also refused to guarantee any new arrivals at Old Trafford ahead of the deadline despite being linked with moves for Marouane Fellaini, Leighton Baines and Ander Herrera.
"I don't know how busy it's going to be but it's a busy football market," he added. "It might be busy in the next few days and I hope we do a little bit of business, but I couldn't guarantee that.
"I wouldn't disclose any names, just let the clubs deal with it and we'll try and do it on a professional manner."

LostWinds maker unimpressed by iPhone games
David Braben, the mastermind behind classic sim Elite and puzzler LostWinds, has said that the iPhone's App Store is full of 'rubbish' games.
The veteran designer says Apple should be more picky about the titles given App Store approval, and that this will make it easier for the 'good' games to gain exposure on the burgeoning format.
"There's a little bit of a 'gate keeper' thing with Nintendo which raises the bar very slightly because you've got to have dev kits, but that's a good thing. Look at iPhone; there are so many games that aren't up to scratch, without being too negative about it. It's very hard to find the good stuff amongst the rubbish," Braben told CVG.
"Another thing I resent is applications or games that are designed to look like something else that's been successful and people accidentally buy them, or they're slightly cheaper and they assume they're getting a cheaper version or the same thing."
More iPhone news soon.

text: Some highlights from the just-released annual report:Last year there were four U.S. stocks in the top ten and one from Brazil. This year there are three Brazilian stocks and three U.S. stocks among the top ten. Singapore also has two stocks, up from one last year.For the end of the calendar year 2009, the Fund paid a 26.56 cents special dividend. As of December, 2010, we anticipate paying another special dividend of 30.5 cents. Both last year's and this dividend are partly derived from an aspect of the U.S. tax code which focuses on a classification called passive foreign investment companies (PFIC). PFIC income is not actual income from a company but rather a derivation of the company's stock appreciation during the Fund's fiscal year. Please note that if we do not again experience such strong price appreciation next year in many PFICs, there will likely not be a special dividend of this size.Fund's Board of Directors has chosen to make this special distribution payable 10% in cash and 90% in additional shares.Some number crunching I just finished:Income and ExpensesDividends: $49,916,220.00 Net investment income: $39,150,214.00 Net investment income plus dividends earned (from Annual Report): $89,066,434.00 Total Realized losses (from Annual Report): ($26,883,351.00)Net Income minus realized losses: $62,183,083.00 Total divs paid in 2010 (from Annual Report): $68,536,746.00 Total Expenses (from Annual Report): $10,768,057.00 Total divs paid in 2010 plus expenses: $81,246,116.44 Net Operating Loss: ($19,063,033.44)NAV 11/1/2009 (from Annual Report): $766,196,341.00 NAV 10/31/2010 (from Annual Report): $889,753,302.00 Change in NAV fiscal year 2010: $123,556,961.00 Net unrealized appreciation of investments (from Annual Report): $179,826,844.00 [I don't know why the NAV change reported by Alpine differs from the simple subtraction calc I did, Diff in NAV change is off by $56,269,883.00, or 31.29%]Current and old data from CEFConnect:Current Distribution (Monthly) (As of 1/13/2011): $0.0330 Avg. Earnings Per Share (As of 10/31/2010): $0.0619 Avg. Earnings Per Share (As of 4/30/2010): $0.0348 Annualized Distribution Rate on NAV (As of 1/13/2011): 4.71%Total Return on NAV (12 months) (As of 1/13/2011): 20.63%Avg. UNII Per Share (As of 10/31/2010): ($0.1704)Avg. UNII Per Share (As of 4/30/2010): ($0.2367)So I see a mixed bag here, but mostly some good signs: 1) Negative UNII number has improved, increased by $0.0663, 28.01%2) Earnings/shr is up $0.0271 (77.87%) to $0.0619, almost double the monthly div of $0.033. I expect once they get back to positive UNII we may get a div hike. By my calcs, they should be back to even within 6 months of 10/31/2010, or around April/May of 2011.3) They've shifted part of their portfolio to focus more on Brazil, which is exactly what I'm doing in my IRA.4) The year end special div is derived from accounting tax rules, basically the increase in value of their foriegn holdings. If global/emerging markets continue to improve, I see no reason why they won't be paying another special div next year.5) The made a killing in GGP, which rose by 347.51% during the fiscal year, too bad they sold off half of it too soon!And some unexpected news on the special div:The special distribution will be paid 10% in cash and 90% in additional shares. No option to take shares or cash, or a mixture of both, like they announced earlier. Looks like we'll all be getting some free money in our accounts at the end of the month! And we're almost back to pps prior to the ex-div price drop and way above the recent intraday low of $6.91 on Dec 29 (tax loss selling?), so yeah, I'm calling this free money!

Documentary film
Documentary film is a broad category of visual expression that is based on the attempt, in one fashion or another, to "document" reality. Although "documentary film" originally referred to movies shot on film stock, it has subsequently expanded to include video and digital productions that can be either direct-to-video or made for a television series. Documentary, as it applies here, works to identify a "filmmaking practice, a cinematic tradition, and mode of audience reception" that is continually evolving and is without clear boundaries.

Ah, the good old USA… land of the stupid. Well, they must be stupid if they think that they are the "land of the free". What a joke. Next they'll be changing the stars and stripes for a swastika.
Let's try to be optimistic for a change; there may be new wind blowing through the US of A. Who knows: they might even scrap their Homeland Security (sounds way too nazy, anyway).
I doubt the US government would ever scrap a department, entity, or program that let's them claim more tax money…even if it doesn't work. Unfortunately, our government isn't known for being very efficient or rational. It is a breath of fresh air to hear the Dems in Maryland are trying to cut back on wasteful and unconstitutionally sound spending.
Why does this sound like a neo-con version of 1984? I knew the post 9/11 paranoia was bad, but this is thought police, pure and simple.
Disgusting… and this will probably be the least of the shocking revelations about the Bush years.
A few decades ago, when they wanted to scare people about the USSR, what did they use as a prime example ? spying on citizen's political opinions by the KGB or Easter Germany's secret police, the infamous Stasi.
Looks like the good old USSR have been replaced by the USA who does it even better !

New Taiwan cross-strait ferry launched
Publication Date : 28-05-2014
Taiwanese cross-strait ferry the Natchan Rera, sailed from the Port of Taipei in Bali District to Pingtan in Fujian, mainland China, seeking to improve express logistics as well as tourism between Taiwan and China.
The Wagon Group officially launched the ferry route from Taipei yesterday, which has a set schedule between Taipei and Pingtan.
The ferry is the first cross-strait ferry transport registered under the Republic of China, as before the launch of the RERA, cross-strait ferries that commute between the countries are registered and operated by the People's Republic of China.
Wagon President Hung Ching-tan stated during the launch event that the closest port from Taiwan is located in Pingtan. The launch of the route will seek to attract a larger population of tourists, as well as make up for air traffic logistics deficiencies. The addition will also potentially enable Taiwan to receive a chance to become an international transit hub.
The travel time on the high-speed ferry is three hours between Taipei and Pingtan. With a round trip estimated to take 6 hours, the Wagon company stated that a one-day holiday for tourists from either country is no longer a dream.
Along with the publicised speed, the ferry boasts a passenger capacity of 800, including a vehicle loading limit up to 24 tourist buses and 300 sedans. Passengers are given seats divided into First Class, Business Class and Economy Class. The fixed schedule of the Rera has been released to be one round-trip journey between Taiwan and China twice a week, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
The Ministry of Transportation and Communications has also endorsed the new line, hoping that tourists from mainland China will utilise the new form of transport to experience the fun and culture of Taiwan.

Galveston Ditches Parking Meters for Phone App
Article Comments 4
Feb 27, 2014, 5:59 PM by Rich Brome
Galveston, Texas has become the first major U.S. city to use phone-based payments completely in place of parking meters. Many cities offer mobile as one option to pay for parking, but still have meters or kiosks as backup. Such cities include Boston, Chicago. Miami, Seattle, and San Francisco. But in Galveston's new deployment, there are no meters nor kiosks. Visitors are encouraged to use the PayByPhone app or mobile web site, or they can call a toll-free number to pay. Those that don't have a cell phone or credit card can pay with cash at a number of the local merchants along the seawall. The app - available for Android, iOS, and BlackBerry - registers payment using license plate numbers, eliminating the need for a receipt left in the window. The service can text users when their parking time is about to expire, and let them easily extend it, avoiding a ticket. The city pockets significantly more from parking fees by avoiding the ongoing costs of meters or kiosks. The service supports new EMV requirements of credit card companies by using CreditCall to process payments.

We've had great weather and only had one night with a heavy thunder/lightening storm. Other than that, it's been sunny with temps ranging from the high 70's to low 80's.....just perfect weather. The last two mornings it has been chilly.....high 40's, but it warms right up. We really enjoyed this campground - we had a great 2 mile ...
Well, we finally figured out what kind and who will change out the refrigerator. So for Bob's birthday, we bought a whirlpool French door refrigerator and made arrangements with Texas RV Supply on Austin Highway to install it. Bob had gone over there to make inquiries and they were significantly cheaper than anyone else. We purchased ...
Another leak
It rained a little last night and today we found another leak. However, it wasn't from the rain! This time it was the ice maker. There was a large puddle of water at the bottom edge of the refrigerator. We finally found the water turn off, so now we have to buy ice until we decide on the residential refrigerator we want installed. Really would like to get that completed before our New Year's trip. We'll just keep ...
Where everything's bigger
... and sat around there. We made s'mores for the first time on the trip, I'm a fan. Marshmallows, chocolate and biscuits what more could you want. Some people set in for a big night but others just sat around quietly talking to the other group and asking about their trips and that. It was a good chance to see what exactly we were in for. I hit the hay much earlier than others but that was still only ...
We will ALWAYS remember the Alamo
... br> Downtown San Antonio was probably the second biggest surprise of the day (I'll get to the biggest one soon enough). Just a couple of blocks from the Alamo is Riverwalk, a lazy river of sorts, that weaves itself around beautiful Spanish architecture and meticulously planned landscaping. We became so enchanted by riverwalk that we spent the rest of the day there. We first stopped to have lunch at Casa Rio, a delicious Mexican restaurant. We chose the ...

Former Senate leader to oversee Red Cross fund
(CNN) -- Former U.S. Senator George Mitchell will oversee the American Red Cross' controversial Liberty Disaster Fund created after the September 11 terrorist attacks, the organization announced Thursday.
"He brings great compassion, experience and leadership to the work we are doing," said David McLaughlin, chairman of the American Red Cross board of governors. "We are confident his strong will, his steady hand, his wisdom will guide the Liberty Fund as it moves forward, and to do this with the greatest benefit to those who are in need."
The Red Cross initially was criticized by donors and lawmakers for its plan to spend some of the money raised from the Liberty Fund for purposes not directly related to the September 11 events.
But it changed course last month, announcing that all of the money raised for the fund would go toward families of September 11 victims.
The fund has received $667 million in donations so far. Of that, the American Red Cross will have spent $317.5 million on aid to more than 36,000 families affected by the attacks, officials said.
Mitchell, the former Senate majority leader who led peace negotiations in Northern Ireland and a committee examining the Israeli-Palestinian crisis, will serve as an independent overseer of the Liberty Fund.
"Senator Mitchell will have the lead responsibility for overseeing the development and implementation of a Red Cross plan that meets the needs of the people affected by the September 11 tragedies," McLaughlin said.
Mitchell was asked to ensure there is adequate consultation with families affected by the disaster, and proper coordination with other charities and government organizations, McLaughlin said.
The Red Cross said $139.6 million of the Liberty Fund has gone to 3,202 families as part of its family gift program, and that 2,400 families whose loved ones were killed or seriously injured received nine months of assistance averaging $52,500.
Dr. Bernadine Healy announced in October her resignation as president of the American Red Cross. She was a target of heavy criticism for her aggressive fund raising and the relatively small portion of the Liberty Fund that was making its way to victims' families.

New iPad 2 CPU boosts runtime, in unchanged boxes
The new, cheaper model of the iPad 2 has been found to have better battery life than its predecessor thanks to its smaller A5 processor, according to a new set of tests. Anandtech reports that the iPad 2,4—Apple's internal reference for the new iPad 2 variant—offers significant battery life improvements over the prior iPad 2, with the increase ranging from 15.8 to 29 percent depending on the task. For example, the iPad 2,4 was able to playback a 720p video file for over fifteen hours on a single charge, easily besting the thirteen hours of the prior model. Notably, there have been conflicting reports as to how big an improvement users can see from the revised iPad 2; prior tests showed a far smaller improvement over the previous version. There appears to be no way to tell whether or not an iPad is a 2,1 model or a 2,4 model from outside the box, so consumers are currently left to guess as to which model they might be purchasing.

Below is my review from when I first had the service installed. I have since cancelled the service because I moved to a non-DSL area and got a cable modem instead.
You should note that many of the reviews in this section refer to Pacific Bell, not Pacificnet. They are two separate companies.
Be warned that the parent company of Pacificnet, ESAT Inc, is in bad financial shape and reports in filings with the SEC that they may run out of cash very soon. Their ticker symbol is ASAT and you can look up this information at »
I called around to DSL ISPs in the LA area trying to find one which would
allow me to have two IP addresses (I have two computers) and Pacificnet was
just about the only one, charging an extra $5/month for the second IP
The setup was rather painless from the Pacificnet end, though
Pacific Bell's installer showed up at almost 6 pm (he was supposed to be
here between 1 and 5). There was a minor glitch with the assignment of one
of my IP addresses (it was already in use by someone else) but I got the
right address the next day and everything has been working great since then.
I have the 384/128 ADSL service but my speeds are regularly in the 550-600K
range despite, according to the Pacific Bell technicians who converted the
line to DSL, being towards the end of the distance limit from the CO.
"The Mikes" in Pacificnet support were both very helpful, as was Melvin, the
resident DSL guy. They are also Mac-friendly (I have a Mac and a PC).
One word of warning with Pacific Bell, though: if you have a problem with
your line, be prepared to spend about a half hour on hold with repair
service before being able to talk to a human. And you have to talk to the
DSL service people even if the problem is with your voice line.

I live in a new development. Naturally, my first of cable modem was not available (too bad). So first, I can't get a phone line pull to my house for 2 weeks. It took 3 hours of being bounce back and forth between 4 departments before someone finally decided to allow me to talk to a field tech about the availability of dsl to my home (and all I wanted to know was whether my central office was close enough for me to get dsl, they didn't know where my central office was.) Customer service didn't know s*** about the difference self install and tech install (my mistake of not bothering to read the information on the website first, it was more helpful than the people I spoke to.) Was promised dsl would be turned on in a week, then the install people call a day before the initial go-live date, left a message on my voicemail that I won't be connected for another 2 weeks. Worst yet, the lady that called gave her manager's phone number and said to call him if I have any questions (so I guess they get complaints one time too often.)
When I finally figured out (on my own) that I needed a tech install because I'm also putting in an alarm, I called them back, one customer service told that the only thing a tech would do was to install the filters for me... (what the hell? I know how to screw in a lightbulb. probably better than they can.) I told them that I need a splitter at the box, but this person told me that this option wasn't available to me. I hung up, called back, and another operation knew what I was talking about, and scheduled me. GREAT! and they would do it the coming weekend. AWSOME! only one problem... the operation never put in the order. So I spent an entire Saturday waiting for a tech that never came. Called them back. Spent another 30 minutes explaining my situation. Now I have to take a Monday off just so I can wait for someone that might never come...
On the plus side, if you ever make it out of the red tape alive, the connection actually isn't too bad... nothing like my cable modem though (I missed having that). I'm getting 1200/138 overall. that's not too bad. so the moral of the story? If might take 20 pacbell employees to do a job of one decent engineer, but they ususally would get it right after you've blown a couple of fuses and pulled enough hair out of your head to patch that bald spot on your lawn.
God help us all, and God speed cable modem. I want it back, after my year with pacbell is up.
Oh, did I forget to mention that they didn't bother to send me the dial in software? I had to borrow the disc from a friend who had pacbell... and yeah, pacbell was the only serivce available to me outside to wireless.

I signed up with them in November, 2000, they sent me a modem, a
Westell, and the ethernet card, with instructions on how to install the
ethernet card. THAT WAS IT, no welcome package, no instructions on what
to do after that, how to log in, etc. I called the customer service
number, and they asked me for my USER NAME, which I never created, or
was given. After they tracked down my phone number, had me make
adjustments to my ethernet card settings, rebooting, etc, still no
response. He asked me what type of modem I had, I told him a Westell,
and he said "OH, we've been having problems with that type of modem"
(Then why the hell send it to me?)..he said they were going to have to
make an adjustment to my phone line. So he'd put in a 'work order', (a
term I would hear again and again in the coming months). After a few
weeks, PacBell made an adjustment to my line, and my service was finally
going....FOR 3 WEEKS..then for some reason, my connection was dropped,
(flashing modem light)....REPEATED phone calls to customer service could
NOT get my connection back up again..the reps were stumped, they said
maybe it was my modem, and after uninstalling, reinstalling, rebooting,
it always ended up with a 'WORK ORDER' being place. After a few times,
I had come to gather that WORK ORDER was a method they use to blow me
off because the rep had other lines to cover and didn't want to spend
the time with me because he couldn't figure it out...after a month, in
January, I called to cancel. They cancelled my account, (the girl in
accounting asked me why I "didnt pay my 10 dollar start up fee)...no one
told me about that either, if you get (deleted) as a salesman, watch out,
he signs you up and forgets about you....so my account is cancelled, but
I still have these $39 dollar charges from SBC on my phone line to
contend with, I called Pacific Net, they transfer me to (deleted again). He says
'he'll make a call', hangs up, and I still get the charges next month.
I call Pacific Net back, and (deleted)says "You know, its not US thats
charging you", I tell him I KNOW THAT, but THEY'RE the ones to have to
call SBC to TELL them that my account is cancelled. (Believe me, I went
through Pacific Bell, who won't deal with you unless you have Pacific
Bell DSL, I called SBC, but they won't shut down my DSL untill they hear
from Pacific Net, so I have to deal with these Pacific Net
dimwits...this is a continuing nightmare, and its already March, I'm
ready to change my phone number. Pacific Net DSL was the worst decision
I've ever made in my life other than signing up for the Air Force years
ago...DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE...
(P.S., if anyone knows how to get SBC to shut down my service, I'd
really appreciate it)

Update in 2001 .. service diminished, outages increased, customer service seems to no longer return calls, mail problems, etc. They may now be on the fade. They were good a year ago, but not so now. Guess that is why info has become stale.
Very helpful, good smooth transition to PacificNet as ISP, from PacBell and
performance that beat Pac Bell Internet hands down. It was nice to be able to reach someone, and not have a 40 minute hold time. It was nice to have a DSL line that worked, and PacificNet as an ISP instead of Pac Bell was a step up. However, late 2000 started having mail problems (they said there were spammers and their IP was being blocked by a lot of servers and they were working on it) and periods of no connectivity started to increase, and worst of all, you could no longer get a person, massages that were left remained unanswered, and no return calls.
Problems continued into 2001, and customer service declined more, and needed to dump them as ISP to get results. Sorry that they went downhill, they were good for quite awhile. Hard to deal with people who won't return calls.

UPDATE: I dumped them today. Also, they no longer provision for Pacbell DSL. They started reselling Telocity DSL, which is horrible in CA, by the way. So, if you have Pacificnet's IP and routing, they will do everything to switch you over to Telocity. They sent out an email recently offering to lower monthly rate from $49.95 to $39.95. It later turned out that the way they were doing it was by switching you completely to Telocity (new IP, new routing, new everything). There was not a word about it in the original email with the offer...
They've never been able to fix my connection speed once it dropped from 1250 kbps to about 400 kbps. The only thing they told me was that since I was getting above guaranteeed 384 kbps, they (and TELCO) wouldn't do anything about it. And so far, they didn't... I'll dump them as soon as my cable connection is up and running.

I have been a PacificNet customer almost since they started. They were always reliable - had good tech support - and provided good value for the money.
When I decided to go DSL in 1999 - I stayed with them - and every thing was fine.
Then came December 2000 - the month from ISP-Hell.
For most of the month, I would have 2-3 day stretches where service was down. (Most of it was PacBell problems.) The big problem was that I could get a straight asnwer from them what was going on. Around the 28th of December that problem cleared up.
Now - on to the reason I'm dumping them...
I use an Iname account as my email address, that forward my mail to any selected email address. In early December - Pacificet decided that ALL mail comming from an Iname server was spam, and the started rejecting all my incomming mail. For weeks they denied that they had done anything to my account - say that nothing was beinb blocked. It was only after I sent them 6 examples of mail sent to me and bounced back as spam to the sender did they admit that they were at fault.
How are they going to resolve it - they're not. Because, as they say, 'Since we get about 40 addresses from Iname that are know spammers - we're shutting down all mail from that domain."
The bottom line is that they are resposible for all my mail being bounced - but will do nothing about it.

As of today this has officially become a horror story. Here's my
"Pacificnet Diary"
Sometime in 1997:
I singed up with them for dial-up service. They had lousy newsgroups, but
it was fairly reliable and offered shell account access. I was happy.
December of 1998:
I move to Valencia, CA. PacificNet's local dialup for the area was
atrocious, so I had to use my earthlink account. I decided to keep them as
a backup since they also had a shell account so I could get my mail
remotely. A couple months later, they up and removed their shell account
access while I was travelling. I ended up cancelling the service. They gave
me a cancellation number. Unlike me, I actually wrote this number down and managed to keep it.
Sometime in 1999:
I get an e-mail from their billing department, saying they can't charge my
card (lost and replaced) for the last 6 months of access. I respond with my
cancellation number and they apologize. No big deal I thought.
March 2, 2000:
After a series of unreturned phone calls from Pac Bell, I decide to try PacificNet
for DSL service. I figure at minimum they should be able to at least
communicate with me as to what is going wrong. I get the contract and sign
it. I keep getting promised a due date, but not hearing back from them.
March 24, 2000:
I get the glorious news that they finally got a Due Date from pacbell, and
that it would be installed on March 31 in the evening. I asked if this
means we're good to go, they say yes, the line is qualified.
A few hours later, I get another email, saying that PacBell screwed up and
that they were unable to provide DSL to me at this time. Great way to get
my hopes up and shoot them down.
July 27, 2000:
I thought this chapter was way behind me. I guess not. I got a bill on my
credit card for $10 (their monthly charge ontop of the $39.00 that pacbell
would be billing me if I had DSL service). I call them and spoke with a
woman in Billing. I explain to her that I was charged for DSL service that
I don't have. She gets snide with me and says "well, sir, it looks like YOU
spoke with a Michael Boyer on March 4". I said "Correct, but I didn't
qualify for DSL". Well sir, it looks to me like you have DSL. I said
"Ma'am, I didn't qualify, I have an embedded digital loop carier that
prevents me from getting DSL". "We'll you'll have to speak with Michael
Boyer. Do you want me to transfer you?".. "Oh wait, he's in a meeting.
I'll remove this charge and discuss it with him.".
This wouldn't bother me so much except it's the SECOND time they've charged
me for services that they aren't providing, and the person in billing could
have been more cordial.
I know people here have had far worse experiences, but I'm still irked nonetheless.

I started with PacBell but got tired of using PPPoE so I called Pacificnet up. The sales guys had the info I needed and since I already had DSL it would only take a couple of days to switch over. The switch was supposed to happen on a Tuesday but didn't happen until that Friday, no big deal because I was still using PPPoE with PacBell until they moved my line.
I ordered 2 ips and everything was working well for a few weeks except for their news server being down 3 times during business hours over the past 3 weeks. I do network support and find a lot of help in usenet so it hurts when my news access is down.
But the real problem started on a Tuesday 2 weeks ago. I was at work and SSHed to my home server when I was disconnected. When I got home that night my system was up but I couldn't ping anything. I had only been using one of my IPs so for the hell of it I tried my other IP and the connection was fine. The next day I called Pacifnet to ask them to get my other IP going again. A week ago Monday I was again logged into my home computer from work when I was disconnected. When I got back to my desk I had a message from Pacificnet letting me know that both my IPs were up. YEAH RIGHT, whatever they did to their router killed both my IPs!
Now here it is a week and a day later and they still don't know what the problem is. I really doubt it's the PacBell connection since it went down when they were playing with their router. I'm thinking about going back to PacBell and their Enhanced plan but I don't need 5 ips for $80/month.
