I have been working with children for over 10 years now. I am a substitute teacher in the Oregon Trail School District as well as Gresham- Barlow and Estacada School Districts. I enjoy the challenge of bringing students further into their potential. I work with students on beginning reading and math skills.
I have a fun approach to tutoring. In reading my students and I explore different themes and find those that make the most sense to help a child grow into an independent reader who reads for the enjoyment of it. As reading and writing are nearly interchangeable during beginning reading I include writing in teaching beginning readers to read.
In math students explore ways to make numbers make sense. I am very hands on while exploring math concepts. I believe that math facts must be memorized to make life easier so I provide many fun games to help achieve this memorization.
I have my Master in Education Degree, Curriculum and Instruction, from Concordia University, Portland, Oregon.
I hold a Bachelor of Sciences in Elementary Education degree from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona.
I have tutored children in Kindergarten, 2nd and fifth grade with Mobile Minds Tutoring last year. I helped each child improve in either reading or math up to one grade level in about 30 hours of tutoring.
I look for many different ways to teach a subject so that each child learns the subject in the way that suits he or she the best.
I have been cross stitching for more than 20 years. I have worked on small and large projects. I have taught others the basics to cross stitching as well as some of the easier embroidery techniques such as French knots.
I have worked with students in Kindergarten through sixth grade in reading. I worked for Sylvan Learning Center as a beginning reading teacher. I have also worked for Mobile Minds tutoring. Students need practice in the components of reading as well as reading. To me that means teaching phonics and spelling as well as memorizing words. I will work with your child to build his strengths and bring his weakness up to grade level and beyond.

What if online video could prevent genocide? That's what three USC Annenberg School graduate students wondered when they hopped a flight to Rwanda a few years ago, Flip cameras in their carry-ons.
"The idea was, in a time where YouTube exists, it's immoral for genocide to exist in human history," Jon Vidar told me recently. The group wanted to give survivors tools to tell their own stories. "Honestly, we were pretty idealistic going in." Since that first visit to Rwanda, Vidar, a freelance photojournalist, and his journalist friends have taken the concept to neighboring countries and then, earlier this year, to Iraq. Their ad hoc trips have morphed into a nonprofit, kept going by volunteers, called The Tiziano Project, named for an Italian journalist who liked to go where he shouldn't. Their mission is straightforward: Train locals in conflict zones and post-conflict zones in the craft of journalism, particularly new media, and give them the tools they need to tell their own stories.
"We're trying to train locals to be journalists," Vidar said.
The group's most recent project, Tiziano360, trained 12 locals in Iraq in new media, producing a website that "documents the life, culture, and news in present day Iraqi Kurdistan." Vidar worked in the Kurdish region of Turkey for four years doing archaeological research, a motive for the region selection. Logistically, it was easier to work on the Iraq side of the border, Vidar said.
The site has a slick design and the content is high quality. It recently won an award from the New Media Institute for multimedia storytelling. But Tiziano also has a practical aim. "A direct goal of the project is job creation," Vidar said. "We don't care where people get jobs, as long as they are using the skills in new media storytelling."
Four of the participants credit the project with new job offers. Other trainees from past projects now string for Western outlets.
"The best thing in this project was the practical aspect of it," Shivan Sito, who participated in the Iraq project, wrote in an email. "[It] was a very good and new experience for me."
Since picking up new skills, Sito has been offered a variety of gigs from news organizations and NGOs. And another participant, Sahar Alani, took a job with a large corporation in the region working in new media.
For now, Tiziano is funded project-by-project. For the 360 experiment, they submitted a pitch to a Facebook contest backed by the JP Morgan Chase Community Giving program. They won $25,000, Andrew McGregor, a Tiziano founder, told me.
"During the competition, we really motivated the Kurdish community [on Facebook]," Vidar told me. "We had 600 Kurdish friends, friends in the government. We had friends in NGOs."
Next up for Tiziano is a project that will start by working with students in Los Angeles and move on to the Congo. The trainer himself is a genocide survivor.
Correction: The original version of this story incorrectly spelled Shivan Sito's name. We regret the error.

One of the most hopeful signs for the long-term global automotive business is that car brands keep coming up with new ways to please wealthy buyers. These lures attain different levels depending on whether you're Ferrari, Tesla or Lexus, but each brand is demonstrating its bullishness with innovative ways of reaching their target demographics.
Ferrari, for example, plans to field more hybrid vehicles for the ultra-rich crowd in the wake of the success of its $1.3 million LaFerrari. The 963-horsepower hybrid, unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show in March, is already sold out under CEO Luca Cordero di Montezemolo's strategy of planned scarcity that boosts a product's cache—and profit margins.
"I don't believe in the electric cars, but I strongly believe in hybrids," Montezemolo told Bloomberg Television. Porsche and Land Rover also are easing into the hybrid business.Continue reading...

There's a new hotel brand coming to the Caribbean and you can bet the shops inside will be top-notch. LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton has bought a five-star hotel on the island of St. Barths and is planning to open others in Egypt, Oman, and the Maldives as well as in Paris and Milan. The latter will be right next to Prada's store. To get to the brand's 45 private villas in the Maldives, guests will have to fly in on a seaplane, Warc reports.
LVMH, like many luxury retail brands, is looking to expand its portfolio in order to give its high-end clientele a full, luxurious experience, from clothing and accessories to dining and travel accomodations. As London-based consultant Laura Ford of Futurebrand tells Warc, the company would like "to own the whole spectrum, to have a 360-degree view on what the customer is doing, what they are buying, what they are eating, where they are staying."Continue reading...

New York City loses $1 billion a year in tax money thanks to counterfeit goods being sold on its streets. At least that's what one City Council member is saying to help promote her bill that would have police arresting those who buy the products as well as the those who sell them, according to the Associated Press.
The plan, which will be addressed at a public meeting on Thursday and is expected to come to vote in the next few months, is to have the buyers of fake Pradas, Chanels and other luxury goods either fined $1,000 or put in jail for a year.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration is planning to oppose the bill, the New York Post reports, because the size of the fine would keep tourists from buying pretty much anything. Plus, it wouldn't be good PR to have images of tourists in jail floating around.Continue reading...

Luxury is back at the forefront of fashion and lifestyle despite the still shaky worldwide economy.
Findings from the 2013 Harris Poll EquiTrend, show gains in brand equity across 155 categories from auto makers to department stores across three key criteria: Familiarity, Quality and Purchase Consideration.
"This may show that after a number of years spent tightening their belts, consumers are looking to the quality and value they feel these brands provide," said Aron Galonsky, SVP Brand and Communication Consulting at Harris Interactive.
Mercedes-Benz took top honors in the Luxury Automotive brand category for the third consecutive year, with Acura (which takes on uber-luxury in its latest US TV commercial, below), Audi, BMW, Infiniti and Land Rover receiving their highest scores ever. Harley-Davidson got its highest score in the study's 25-year history regaining top spot as Motorcycle Brand of the Year.Continue reading...

Swatch Group's new year surprise — that it's paying $1 billion to acquire the luxury unit of Harry Winston Diamond Corp. — is making observers beyond the jewelry business watch both brands more closely.
Canada's Harry Winston Diamond Corp.'s $1 billion sale ($750 million plus $250 million in debt) of its luxury business to Switzerland's Swatch Group AG provides the cash for Winston to invest more in diamond mining, a business that last year was more than twice as profitable as jewelry.
Shares in Toronto-based Harry Winston rose 4.4 percent on Monday after the deal was announced. The high-end company's chairman and CEO, Robert Gannicott, told The Globe and Mail that the company planning will use the cash to focus primarily on mining after eight years as a luxury jewelry brand. His plan: purchase the 60 percent stake of the Diavik mine it doesn't already own from Rio Tinto Group.
In addition to Winston exiting the luxe jewelry-selling business, the deal will have an impact on Swatch Group's (relatively) cheap and cheerful Swatch brand.Continue reading...

Nespresso has been riding the home barista trend, as consumers and gift-givers shelled out about $600 for counter-top coffee makers this holiday season.
But what to do with those crushed capsules? One enterprising idea is seeing them used as the basis for a handmade, custom timepiece as part of the Grand Cru collection produced by high-end watchmaker Blancier. At least you'll always know when it's time for a coffee.
it may sound crazy, but the idea didn't come from an overly caffeinated designer at the German-owned Blancier, which specializes in customized watchmaking and has offered weekend DIY workshops. In fact, it was Blancier co-owner Willem Kamerman who thought of the idea while standing in line at a Nespresso boutique, according to Watchpro.
"We don't reuse the cups; we turn the waste into something more attractive and valuable," Kamerman commented. "We move up the chain. Every time you look at the watch you're made aware that you don't have to throw everything away."Continue reading...

Next year is shaping up to be mixed, at best, for luxury goods. Continuing economic woes in the Eurozone, a flagging Japanese economy, and slow recovery in the U.S. will likely lead to modest spending on luxury brands in those regions.
At a recent fashion summit in Florence, Italy, luxury designers were downbeat. Michele Norsa, CEO of Salvatore Ferragamo, the Italian shoemaker, said: "Markets are very volatile. We must keep a cool head and define our forecasts day by day. ...The first part of the year will be slower. In the second part there will probably be a recovery. These are the signs we are receiving from all our markets." Michele Tronconi, the head of Sistema Moda Italia (SMI), Italy's fashion body, added, "Orders of goods to be delivered in the coming months have shrunk and I don't expect this trend to change soon."
Indeed, Italy is a microcosm of Europe's slide when it comes to luxury goods. Luca Solca, who heads luxury goods research at the Exane BNP Paribas investment group said Italy's luxury goods sales have taken an "abrupt hit" due to the country's austerity measures. Sales of luxury goods are expected to decline nearly 1 billion euros by year's end in Italy despite solid tourism. Globally, sales of luxury goods should grow about 5 percent in 2012 vs. 13 percent last year according to a report by consulting firm Bain & Co.Continue reading...

ANET is exclusive DSL provider in my building. Management office gave me their number to call to establish service. After 5 messages left and having never received a phone call, I called their Tech Support line. Tech Support got me setup in about 5 mins.

"they used to be a great company"
"but not anymore"
"they went from really great to straight up fools for reasons unknown"
Inforamp aka Anet Communications used to be the best ISP in the Chicagoland Area. Their speeds were impressive (1.5mbps down and 768kbps up) and their in house staff sure beat talking to Osama's Cousins. Their service was the most reputable, as being "The Official ISP for the Chicago Bulls, Bears and Allstate Arena" would seem to clarify.
However, over time, things started to go horribly wrong. Anet (who bought out Inforamp) was then itself bought out (or so I was told, anyways) and from there, things seem to go down hill. The most reputable, professional and knowledgeable representatives seem to be getting FIRED left and right, replaced with a majority of reps that seemed to be very under trained.
Stress levels within middle management seemed to be spiking, including but not limited to Shawn, the customer service manager, having acquired a seriously belligerent attitude. Reliability and speeds started to diminish. Customer service started to become degraded and I was being lied to left and right about most things.
Shawn passionately did his best to enforce that residential customers do not mater to Anet Communications and that I had no right to be lodging the grievances that I was lodging and that these things were "none of my business".
In a barrage of personal slams against me within a phone conversation, he even tried to defame my character (to try to make his point that my opinions as a customer did NOT mater and were NOT wanted NOR needed) he stated that I owed quite a bit of money to a variety of past vendors. I asked him which vendor and the only example he could pull out of his arse -- is a years old small past debt I had with Inforamp that had been in excess of 1 year long since PAID IN FULL.
In their continued efforts to kick their residential customers to the curb in favor of big rich corporate business -- my account ended up terminated for non-payment at the exact same time I had the money and was trying to pay them. They utterly refused my payment and preferred instead to disconnect me.
My friend who I had referred to them had similar problems (as also one business client than I referred to them also) and I had everyone that I had brought in simultaneously drop their service -- seeing as everyone was long past their 1 year contract.
This awesome ISP having gone to hell in a hand bag, I switched to Speakeasy Internet. Now granted, Speakeasy had a previously bad rep and I'll explain why. They made the mistake of co-locating and outsourcing too many of their servers and services giving them little no no control for rectifying problems. They have since fixed these issues and their service is awesome. Their staff also is in house.
The main point however, is I just wanted everyone to know how horrible Anet has become and unless you've got a thing for masochism, avoid them like the plague!
Their local reputation has even gotten so bad that this guy at the Allstate Flea Market (ironically taking place in the parking lot of the Allstate Arena, one of Anet's corporate accounts) told me he had heard how bad Anet has gotten and he isn't even a customer!
The horror stories over-floweth!

First my background, I am an "IT Support Specialist" for a large market information company in Rosemont, IL. My home is in the north side of Chicago. I am an avid gamer, and I wanted an ISP that is reliable, had local DNS servers, low latency national backbone, and tech support that actually call back. My previous ISP was Speakeasy/Covad. They were also good, but I was looking for ways to reduce my monthly DSL costs. Once my Speakeasy contract was up, I knew I had to do my homework all over again.
I placed my order with John Pettis, who helped me thru some of my prequal questions. I even asked if I could talk to one of their IT support staff, and one of them called me back the same day. I am about 13,000 feet from the CO, but the quality of my line is "electrically" 18,000 feet, (according to one of the SBC techs here on DSL reports). Now prequal thru SBC, the most they could do for me was 384/128 kbps. Obviously that wasn't gonna cut it. But ANET was willing to provide service for 768/384. As with ANY DSL install, maintain good communication with the ISP in the first few critical days, at least until you can verify an FOC date (firm order of committment from the ILEC). This is because behind the scenes, there are lots of red tape/formal rules between SBC and access to their DSLAM. John caught one attempted DSL cancellation by SBC, because they stated I didn't have SBC as their local phone service. A fax of my SBC phone bill to Anet (John) remedied the situation. John also replied to my email in a timely fashion, and called me back to make sure my questions/issues were taken care of by the right people. How many people in DSL Sales do you know that does this both before, during and after and DSL installation?
Incidentally, as for ANY DSL install, this is the TYPICAL fine print you need to know ahead of time:
"The actual line speed of a given ADSL Circuit will vary based upon various technical factors, such as copper loop quality and distance from the central office. The provisioned speed for a given ADSL Circuit will be based on the actual available line speed, as determined by ANET at the time of service installation/activation."
So I knew I was going to get 768/384 BECAUSE I ASKED. Make sure you do too, for ANY DSL provider.
Gaming wise they are a great ISP. I played counterstrike on servers as low as 27ms! Not bad at all. They use MCI as the national backbone, which is a very solid, low latency, low ping network.
The DSL modem they use is an Efficient Networks Speedstream 5260. I myself use a Netgear RO318 router with SPI.
In terms of stability, I have not noticed the line go down or reset in the time I've had them. Downloading large files (Painkiller demo/Unreal 2004 demo), I had no problems with it failing or disconnecting. Again as with all large downloads, you are best to use some kind of download manager in case a hiccup does occur. The internet itself is very unpredictable, so use the right tools for the job.
I don't use their email servers, so I don't know much about that aspect. But I've learned long ago, if you move around a lot, or plan to switch ISP's in your lifetime, your better off with a Yahoo or Hotmail type of account.
They do include free basic dialup, for those times when you need to login the "old way" Don't expect dialup numbers all over the world/usa, this is a throw in service, not a replacement to Fiberlink or ATT Worldnet.
As for servers, they of course don't want you to host any kind of 24/7 warez/spamming/mp3 server, but if you host occasional game servers, there is no problem with this. I have not used their newsgroups servers, but they do include it.
That's about it, in a nutshell they are the BEST local independent Chicago ISP, they use "local" DNS servers, have a low latency national backbone, and offer static IP for only 10.00 more. ( For basic PPPOE service, it's 39.95 a month, 49.99 with 1 static IP).
That's about it, feel free to IM me if you have any other questions.
Prior to this review, I had emailed if I could possibly sync at 1500/768, Rob from ANET support requested a re-sync try with MCI. Lo and behold, I'm syncing stable so far at 1300!!! This is really incredible!!!,! considering how FAR (over 13,000 feet) I am from the CO. 768 is sure sweet, but 1300 is just AWESOME!!!!
ANET DSL line has been very, very STABLE. I have not had the occasional loss of sync like I had with Covad/Speakeasy ( considering my distance to the CO ). My pings in general are 10ms-20ms lower with ANET than with Speakeasy/Covad, on a broad range of my favorite quake 3/counterstrike game servers. Reliable, transparent, that's how it should be.
After 1 year the line has been rock steady and stable, and most important, has low latency, consistent throughput, no upload/download caps, no matter what time of the day or week. I've since had to throttle back my line to 768/384 as I'm just too far from the CO to hold the sync consistently. (electrically I'm 18,000ft from the CO). Very happy to have ANET as my provider. As a person working in the IT field, I find ANET/MCI to be one of the better local DSL providers in Chicago. Anet is both very affordable and very reliable.
Hi Folks, well after purchasing a most excellent "Corning DSL NID POTS Splitter SPS-SA0-SR1" from jlramirez, I've been able to change DSL profiles back to 1500/768. Yay! The install was very easy; a clever design that fits inside a typical Chicago NID. I ran the new DSL pair thru an existing line, relocated my modem close to the 66block, and ran fresh ethernet to my router. Again playing on a few Counterstrike:Source servers, I've played as low as 14ms..Ya baby! woot! Ok, nuff said, I'm going back to playing online.
Just wanted to update this review. As you know, MCI cutoff reselling DSL to smaller ISP's, so ANET switched to Covad as the new DSL partner. They now have a new tier of 1500/128k for 39.95 a month (pppoe) using Broadxent Briteport DSL half-bridge.
The 128k upload, as of this time, CANNOT be changed. It also uses "interleave mode" which will add 10-20ms extra latency. However this did NOT affect my gaming performance, (aside from showing up as a higher ping time in the server browser). As for reliability, it was just as reliable as the MCI line, with no downtime reported. I have since moved on to »
, another smaller isp (review coming soon stay tuned)
Finally, I just want to thank the many people at ANET for over 2yrs of RELIABLE 100% uptime service, and I hope someday the 1500/768 profile comes back.
Thanks and best wishes ANET team!

I used Inforamp (now Anet) for almost 2 1/2 years.
Good Points -
1) Install and service was activated promptly.
2) 12Kf loop was providing 1.2Mb up and 500Kb down. Good speed.
Bad Points -
1) Repeated outages over the last two years have totaled over three weeks of down time. The worst was due to a record error on Anet part. Service was installed as a dry loop. (No POTS service) This was not documented and my service was disconnect for two weeks while SBC/Ameritech reinstalled.
2)I've asked several times for a credit and never received one dime.
3) Tier one support, does not listen to the customers. On some occasions the customer may know what he's talking about. I should never have to get in a shouting match with tech support trying to convince them I have a dry loop with no SBC POTS line number attached.
3) It took an e-mail threat to get them to lower my rates from $89.00 MRC to $66.14 MRC. Now I see its $49.95 (+$5.00 Static IP) and again its they were overcharging me, compared to new customers. I should not have to ask or threaten to get the best rates as a loyal customer.
4) Repeatedly, I was told that I could not get even one additional e-mail account without a charge. (Comcast gives 7 (SEVEN) with normal service...) I think they need to start paying closer attention to the competition.
5) I pay quarterly. $198.42 per bill.The last bill was 7/1/04. I asked to have my service disconnected at the end of the billing cycle. Today is 8/10/04 and at 5PM my e-mail account was deactivated. Service should last until 10/1/04, right?!?!
7 days outage at $2.96 a day. Never refunded. Owed to me - $20.72
14 days outage at $2.20 a day. Never refunded. Owed to me - $30.80
Service terminated 51 days early at $2.20 a day. Owed to me - $112.20
The way I see it. The honorable thing for Anet(Inforamp) to do would be to refund my charge card in the amount of $163.72. From past expierance, I have not seen much honor in their actions.

I decided to go with ANET since they were the only service offering an upload speed of 768 kbps (1.5 Mbps down) in my area for a resonable amount ($19.95 for the 1st 3 months, then $39.99 for the next 9).
I asked them to set up service around the 18th of November, when we moved into our new construction house. It took over 5 weeks to straighten out the mess that was SBC and their DSL service out here. Supposedly SBC input some code wrong in the computer that would not allow them to release the line to a different ISP for DSL. It took 5 weeks to track down and change the one input line of code in the computer to allow ANET to set up the DSL.
Once that was changed it took another 2 weeks (total of 7 weeks now from the initial order) to get my "Welcome Package" from ANET that included the DSL modem, so I could connect.
Once I did get connected I found out that the email address I had told every one (firstname.lastname@example.com) was not my email address. It actually was firstname.lastname@example.com, since ANET recently purchased InfoRamp. Now I have to resend out emails to my friends that the previous email address is not correct. 3 email addresses in 3 months. Fun!
The download speed is appropriate for me being only 4999 feet from the RT (I get around 1100 Kbps). My upload speed though is only 136 kbps or so. It turns out that they only offer the higher speed through their MCI lines, and not the SBC lines, and since I only had access to SBC lines, I was provisioned at 256 kbps, though no one told me this until I did some research and lots of phone calls. The contract states that they only offer _UP TO THE SPECIFIED SPEED_ and even though I theoretically should be able to get whatever I want, since SBC throttles their lines to no more than 256 kbps up, then I too am stuck at 256 (or 136 kbps). So I am getting 1/6th the speed that I paid for and was advertised with as far as I can tell, no recourse.
The real kicker is that I had SBC Yahoo! at my old place and could have transferred it for $25 and get the same speed I get now for the same price, but been able to keep my old email addresses!
My best guess is that I have made around 45-55 phone calls and spent around 10-15 hours on the phone and on hold trying to resolve the various problems and issues with getting this service set up.
Other problems:
1.) you can not access the outgoing mail servers (SMTP) unless you are on their network.
2.) Not many remote dial in locations (I am a pilot and on the road quite a bit).
3.) The line seems to 'hiccup' often and this drops me off of some servers in the middle of downloads.
The only upside is that Annie O'Neill, the sales rep I dealt with the whole time really did put in a lot of effort to get the service running. Though I think after all the mess and problems I have had and the lack of information regarding the upload speeds versus line carrier I should be able to cancel my service without the early termination fee they want to impose ($200).
Anyone have any ideas as to the legality of the contract and the information above?
Here is the relevant parts of the contract:
"InfoRamp agrees to provide Internet DSL service (w/speeds up to 1.5Mb/768K) to the customer listed below under the following terms:
1. This agreement shall commence on the date of installation and continue for a term of one year.
2. The customer agrees to pay the following non-recurring charges:
i. $00.00 Activation Charge.
ii. $00.00 Ethernet Modem
2a. The customer agrees to pay the following monthly recurring charges:
i._________$19.95__________ -- Monthly DSL Service (First 3 Months)
ii.________$39.95__________ -- Monthly DSL Service (each following month)
ii.__________ __ ___________ --
3. The customer may terminate this agreement at any time by notifying InfoRamp in writing. If cancelled prior to the term of this agreement the customer agrees to pay InfoRamp a $200 early termination fee."
as an aside, since they couldn't get their computers to take the different pay rates, they averaged out the cost as $34.95 for 12 months... yet another call to figure out why my bill was $74 for the 1st month, and not the stated $19.95 plus taxes.

It is nice to find an isp that actually has people you can understand . The pre-sale info was great . Techs are English speaking Americans . Very helpful . If the tech can't help for some reason they put a "ticket through " to a higher tech level . They actually call you back in a timely manner . How many of you can say that about your isp's ? Had to make a few calls to get every thing running right , but it was a pretty painless experience . Their speeds are ok and the price was right . $19.95 for the first three months , $39.95 after that . The order was placed and service received with in seven days ( as promised ). Equipment included , no set-up fees ( 12 month contract ) and six e-mail accounts. Can't ask for more !

I switched from a 3 year old Concentric/XO ADSL account to Anet on a friend's recommendation. The entire switch over was painless. I've double my speed, from 768/384 to 1.3 mbps/660 kbps for almost $30/month less than what I was paying XO, including a static IP.
I didn't get the full 1.5/750 advertised but I'm happy none the less. Thanks Anet.

ANet seems to be getting worse. The company I am consulting at had a dialup with them (it's a really small company) as well as a website.
They weren't offered a contract or SLA at signup, which was all word-of-mouth, so they basically have no rights.
The dialup fails for periods of up to 24 hours (we're in a 48 hour blackout right now) about once a week.
The website is down frequently, about two or three times a month (their own website is down right now) - they keep blaming the 'IIS Metadata', and are apparently constantly rebuilding their machines. I am skeptical.
The experiences I have had with their support had always left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
Their billing department ordered the site to be brought down at one point due to a billing issue, which was a mistake on their part. (I.e., there was no billing issue at all)
We're moving to Speakeasy.net ASAP. I suggest you avoid this company at all costs.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that a COVAD installer told me that they REFUSE to deal with ANet anymore (as of mid 2002, I guess).

I called ANET the first week of December to inquire about their DSL service. I talk to Lauren, and she was very helpful and knowledgable. Their pricing was a little higher than Ameritech and Covad, but I would prefer not to give business to Ameritech or other larger companies. I ordered service later that day, and within a week they contacted me with the activation date. I received the modem kit after about a week, and hooked it up right away. A few days later, I noticed the lights on the modem start to blink, however I could not get any service. I called ANET, and spoke to Gene, and they helped me with the phone line filters, and I was up and running. The whole process took about 2 weeks from order to activation, and so far the service is running great. Bandwidth tests show I am pretty much getting 1.5 downloads and 768K uploads. Latency is great, as I play many online games, and I have great pings. I hooked up my PS2, and its great! My only gripes is that there is 1 IP address, and extra IPs are extra $$$.
I ordered 1.5 upload/768 download at $59.99 per month, with a free modem. The IP addres is dynamic. Overall, my experience was very good.

ANET was the only ISP I could find serving DSL in my area when I got server (feb 2000). Price is reasonable, they claim $50 for 468 kb service. Installation was in less than a month, and that was at a busy time. They have a 5 GB limit, which always makes me nervous but which I don't seem to hit.
They actually run my line at 700+ kb, which is nice.
I had problems for a while (months) - my data rates were around 100-200kb. Their tech support was no help. Then it all started working. Now it always works and it's always fast. What more could you ask from an ISP? Of course, my line is Northpoint, which is now chapter 11...
I don't work for ANET, I just get my service from them.

What if you were the US President?
As Obama takes over the reins of America, the financial crisis and the world have welcomed him with open arms. If you were him, what would you do to solve the world's financial and political issues?
January 21, 2009 12:38 by Aarti Nagraj
Two main issues dominated President Barack Obama's inaugural speech: the financial crisis, and his promise to improve ties with the Muslim world.
Middle East
"To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect," he said.
"We hope this encouraging statement, coupled with a change in America's previous policies toward the Muslim world, will help improve our nation's image and promote a safe and prosperous future for all of humanity," Nihad Awad, the executive director of the Council on American Islamic Relations told Reuters.
According to CNN, the Mideast crisis is a priority in Obama's immediate agenda. He is reportedly planning to name at least one high-profile envoy within his first week in office to help find long-term solutions for the troubles in Palestine..
As part of his Middle East agenda, Obama has promised to end the war in Iraq, withdraw all American troops from the country by 2010, launch direct negotiations with Iran, and increase the number of American troops in Afghanistan.
Financial crisis
"We must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and begin again the work of remaking America," Obama said. "The challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met," he added.
The US lost 2.6 million jobs last year, the most in any year since 1945.
Obama's economic team is pushing to complete a bank-rescue plan along with his $825 billion stimulus package being negotiated with Congress, reports Bloomberg. The package is likely to include a $50 billion-plus program to stem foreclosures, fresh injections of capital into the banks, and steps to deal with toxic assets on banks' balance sheets, it says.
Some economic policies he has promised include a plan to provide $50 billion to jumpstart the economy; end tax breaks for companies that outsource jobs from outside the US, reward companies that create jobs with good benefits for American workers. And impose a windfall profit tax on oil companies in order to provide a $1,000 emergency rebate to American middle class families.
If you were in Obama's place, and just became president of the United States,, how would you deal with the financial crisis and crisis in the Middle East? Would your policies be similar to his or completely different?

White Water Rafting in New England
We did the route twice and on the second run, Husband allowed us to let some of the air out of the zodiac to give the ride more bounce and uncertainty. After the ride we were served burgers and chicken and huge chocolate chip cookies. The kids are ready for Class III rapids for the next trip and Husband got wet – even jumped in during a break. That says it all.
I asked the guide about taking young kids rafting and here is what he said. VIDEO GETS INSERTED HERE

Just moved to East Williamsburg/Bushwick - where should I eat?
I just moved to an apt between the Montrose and Morgan stops on the L and am looking for recomendations. All the Chowhound threads on this area are really old. Where should i go for take-out, dine-in, etc? Cheap and affordable is key.
re: guide boy
I need to check this one out.
re: guide boy
Green sauce is good, the place is authentic, but food ain't all that awesome...just a cool setting that would pump guideboy's exoticist jets
re: zemilideias
And nice chubby waitresses from los altos de Puebla.
re: guide boy
Taco Hacienda.
Ugh. Had the worse meal ever there.
I would not suggest this place.
No one else has any suggestions? Don' force me to eat at Taco Loco or whatever that grody burrito place is near the subway. Where's the good food?
Sorry, but there ain't none. The L train will get you to decent food a couple stops away but that area is pretty awful food-wise.
Indeed, there aren't many places right in your area. You're better off going a couple stops away:
Life Cafe 983
983 Flushing avenue between Bogart and Evergreen... off the Morgan Avenue Stop. - It's a bar / restaurant with decent pub fare. I enjoy the burgers.
Northeast Kingdom
18 Wyckoff Avenue, on the Corner of Troutman St. It's off of the Jefferson St. stop on the L.
This is a good place. It's been open about a year and they have decent food. It's not the typical neighborhood place and it's not as cheap... $9 to $14 for entrees. It's a restaurant first but I hang out at the bar there with my room mates on cold nights. Worth a trip to check it out. The owner also opened a coffee shop just down the block (opened this past week) with sandwiches for less $. Both places are like something you'd find in williamsburg or manhattan.
Guide_boy's post about the mexican place in the diner car on the corner of Dekalb and Wyckoff Ave (at the Dekalb stop on the L) is decent (It's called Tacos La Hacienda) but if you want better tacos go right to the source of the tortillas... They make them on the premises to sell to stores but inside they have a counter to order tacos, tortas, etc. All are very fresh and the meet isn't as gristly. Plus the guy is super friendly... It's on Starr street between Wyckoff Avenue and Cypress avenue. If you get out of the L train at the front (coming from manhattan) you're on the corner of Starr and you can see it from the corner. I love this place. I go there for lunch a couple times a month. But I can't remember the name :)
re: aerendir
This must be the place: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/show/...
re: squid kun
yes! that's it. I just walked down there this morning to get the name of the place. I'm going to have to get tacos for lunch, now.
re: aerendir
Good taco recc and I definitely like it, but I've never liked how it compares to the carts that I'm loyal to in Red Hook (now closed for the year :( ), Jackson Heights, etc. Don't get me wrong, I love the atmosphere and the tortillas are great, but I've felt like the fillings are missing something.
One of my favorite soul food joints in the city, Down South Cafe, is in the Bushwick area, corner of Halsey and Lewis. They serve up one of the tastiest sage sausages you're likely to get north of the Carolinas, and huge breakfasts of eggs, whiting and grits, at incredibly cheap prices. Check it out while it's still around.
re: Polecat
Alas Down South Cafe is around no more ... I know I'm late with this, but in case anyone is researching like me ...
re: scunge
Might this be the place?
call/go by Chili Verde, right off the Montrose stop on Bushwick. It looks like a poorly stocked mini-mart but actually has really delicious (and substantial) vegetable quesadillas that I highly recommend in the back. But not the flat smushed quesadillas...these are like...fat pockets of yumminess. Guacamole is also good, the other stuff is not as impressive. The kinds of vegetables and the cost (anywhere from 5 to 7 dollars with rice and beans) change constantly.
re: GtotheRace
Also Chili Verde appears to be closed ... much sadness (I loved the place)
Finally, there is hope at the Montrose stop. 255 restaurant, on Bushwick, a half a block down has simple, but wonderful food, and not hispanic food, either, thank God. Across the street, there is a new 24 hour market with great produce, prepared sandwiches, sushi rolls, and a decent selection of real food. On Bushwick in the other direction, a half a block up from the Montrose stop, Jessie's has the only decent espresso, americano, etc. and has the best, good but not great toasted bagels. In fairness, Paul's Deli is getting its act together, with a much better selection of food.
mojito loco has great, cheap everything. the grilled corn, nopales salad, spicy peruvian ceviche, and pollo al carbon are all great -- www.mojitoloco.com. on meserole & manhattan. also have 2 for 1 mojitos during happy hour. tony's pizza is tasty for delivery, try the lasagna pizza for a very tasty heart attack.
Wow, this is an old post and I am sure you have discovered some places by now or at least bought a bike so you could ride 5 minutes to the plethora or restaurants in Williamsburg. Anyhow, I am currently really loving Northeast Kingdom on the Jefferson L on Wycoff. Although they could have a better and more affordable wine list. Food is great. Especially the Pork Chop.
I am really shocked that (some, NOT ALL) people are bummed that most of the food options you can get in a neighborhood that is mostly made up of Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, and Mexicans is "Latin" food. What do you expect?! I live 2 blocks from Northeast Kingdom and I have never step foot inside.
Instead I opt for wonderful tortas and tacos at Tortilleria Mexicana, or for a cheap dinner I head over to a simple Mexican buffet on Knickerbocker (between Troutman and Jefferson) whose delicious options change daily, there is lip smacking rotisserie chicken everywhere you look, and for Italian Fontana's II (sp) the rice balls, wings, chicken rolls and cold espresso are not to be missed, or Tina's (corner of Flushing and Wilson) breakfasts, grilled cheeses, and BLT's served up from 3:30am-4:30pm Monday - Saturday by Tina herself. These are just a few of the MANY restaurants in the Bushwick that are just waiting to be enjoyed! Get out there!
People should hop on the L back to Bedford for "hipper" eats.
re: JFores
You should check it out. Very simple: two meat options, rice, beans, green plantains (tostones), and sometimes pasta. The last time I was there my boyfriend and I split oxtails, rice and beans. The oxtails were very flavorful as was the rice and beans. Good stuff.
By the way, I was reading your thread on the UK board (my friend was/is in the same boat as you and i was trying to help) and was wondering what your restaurant guide was all about. Is it like a zine?
re: bosun
Unfortunately I missed Bushwick proper this time. I'll do it in the summer (I really prefer this stuff in the winter, but oh well.) We walked all of Bkln's B'way but instead of going up into Bushwick we walked northern East New York to Cypress Hills, there to Richmond Hill and Richmond Hill to Jamaica all following the el tracks (oldest intact ones.) Ate at Ghoroa on 169th and Hillside.
Okay, I am not sure how close this is to you, as I am not 100% familiar with the area. There is this little restaurant/diner/luncheonette-type place on Graham Avenue, right where it hits Broadway. I do not know the name. They have what looks to be all sorts of delicious Puerto Rican food (at least that's what I think it is). My sister and I tried a banana stuffed with meat (I think pork) a few times (it was quite early and this was the closest to breakfast food we could think of) and it it was great. Lots of cops and sanitation workers eating there, which I usually take for a good sign.
For those who may be searching on Bushwick and looking for new posts, I just moved from Jackson Heights to Bushwick (Dekalb stop) and I am thrilled with the excellent food here. I highly recommend a little tacqueria/restaurant named Cocoyoce (sp?). The BBQ pork a la Mexicana (green peppers and onions) plate is out of this world. Also the lights are dim and the jukebox is good.
There's also a good rotisserie chicken place right at the Dekalb stop that serves a tasty Cuban sandwich. Several groceries specialize in Mexican and Dominican products, such as chorizo and avocados.
And of course there's always the slightly uneven but enjoyable and atmospheric Northeast Kingdom. And the delicacies of Williamsburg and Union Square. I'm delighted to shop Whole Foods and the farmer's market. Though I must praise Jackson Heights' Met for having many of the same products (Bread Alone) for $1 cheaper.
re: KateC.
I concur, Cocoyoc is one of the good ones.
re: MsAlyp
Having been, I can attest it's worth the trip (but check on BYO status).
re: NYChristopher
I don't think they are BYO anymore. Roberta's is pretty good though, a bit expensive, especially for Bushwick, and not worth a particularly long trip, but solid and generally pleasant.
re: tonyferrari
San Marco is better and right outside of the same subway
New additions are Phorum (Starr and Wilson?), Tandem (Troutman and Knickerbocker?) for night out stuff. Both have really nice, awesome owners. There's also a fairly new falafal place right off the Morgan L on Bogart and there is okay sushi that I just found at a Chinese/Japanese place called Shen Zhou on Wilson and Suydam.
Of course, the best food in the area is going to be the Latin food. Its the neighborhood culture and you should be sure to explore it as fully as possible (and hopefully it won't disappear entirely!).
re: ivysienna
Roberta's - Hands Down!
Keg and Lantern in Greenpoint is awesome and inexpensive. Really homey Irish vibe--and they have pierogies too!
Check out The Bodega wine bar about one block from the Jefferson L stop on St. Nicholas and Troutman they do a good brunch and now they're open for lunch...

Top Three!
What do you think of my top three girl names at the moment:
Gwendolen, Rosalie and Evangeline.
They would neither go exclusively by their full names, nor by their nicknames (Gwen/Wendy, Rose and Eva) but rather a mix between the two.
Do you think they work as sisters? Any one in particular you don't like? And, lastly, do you think they work with potential brothers Walter, Elliot and Julian.
Thank you!
August 20th, 2014 10:16 AM #3
I think Gwendolen, Rosalie, and Evangeline work fine as sisters. I think Gwen/Wendy sticks out a bit from Rose and Eva. I do not dislike any of them. I adore Rosalie and Rose. I feel neutral about Gwendolen and Evangeline. I think all three go well with Walter and Julian. Elliot sticks out a bit. Except I would not worry too much about names fitting with each other. Lots of families have children with names with a variety of styles. They "fit" together because they are family.Maebry Eloise o Emilia Sunday o Annabel Birdie

I love Gwendolen and Evangeline and I like Rosalie. I think they go well together although I slightly prefer Gwyneth, Rosalie and Evangeline because although they aren't that similar I like the different endings for each sibling. They go nicely with the boys names.

I only like Rosalie. Any Gwen name sounds a bit Middle Ages or Dungeons and Dragons to me. Evangeline is a bit too religious sounding for my taste.
