My new friend, a lady, first wrote to me in response to a column about "Manners" and she included some advice from the books "How to Raise a Lady" and "How to Raise a Gentleman" by Kay West. I will share this with you a bit later because it's great information, but first let me tell you why I think this is so important.
In some circles, not all mind you, our lack of manners, etiquette and common courtesy has slipped so far that we are in danger of reverting back to the Dark Ages. This new friend, who shall remain anonymous, said, "The manners breach that irritates me the most is the way people increasingly interrupt someone else's speaking and think nothing of it. Another is a cellphone going off during church services, weddings and even funerals." Then she added, "My grandmother would literally turn over in her grave if she just knew what was happening today."
In this respect, the simple truth is that we will get anything that we are willing to settle for. If we want to have a society characterized by good manners, decency and common courtesy we have to model it and we have to teach it to our children and grandchildren. In my opinion, what we really need is to get back to the old-fashioned concept of "chivalry." No, it is not dead yet, but it is running a high fever.
If those of us who think this is important are going to help resurrect these qualities, advice from the books "How to Raise a Lady" and "How to Raise a Gentleman" will help.
First, this is advice to parents or guardians, who must be the leaders:
1. Use "please," "thank you," "I'm sorry" and "excuse me."
2. Be generous with your compliments and stingy with your criticism.
3. Listen to your child when he/she speaks to you, even if you've heard it before.
4. Do not discipline your child in front of others.
5. Be clear and consistent with what you expect.
6. Words can hurt; do not hurl them as weapons.
7. Give credit where credit is due.
8. Hold the door, lend a hand, and greet and help the elderly.
9. Give more than you are asked.
10. Don't take (or buy) more than you need.
11. Leave a place as clean as you found it.
12. Do not respond to rudeness with rudeness.
And here is a partial good manner checklist specifically for children:
1. They should use all the words in No. 1 above, plus "sir" and "ma'am" on a consistent basis; they should greet and help the elderly.
2. They should refer to adults as "Mr." and "Mrs." until asked to do otherwise.
3. They should never invite themselves over to a friend's house.
4. They should never say, "I already have this," when opening a present.
5. They should keep elbows off the table, never talk with food in their mouths and always use the correct fork.
6. They should always ask to be excused from the table when finished eating.
7. They must never make fun of or pass judgment on another person's religion.
8. They should speak clearly on the telephone and know how to take telephone messages properly.
9. They must not judge people by the color of their skin, their clothing, their house or their family's car.
10. They must learn to RSVP, learn to be on time and learn to always write thank-you notes for gifts.
Unless you are already doing all of these things, this advice may also be helpful for you. Good manners are a sign of respect for yourself and others around you.
Children need to begin learning manners at the earliest opportunity. The daily examples of respect, kindness, consideration, honor, generosity, empathy and compassion are some of the most profound gifts any of us can bestow on our children.
These are gifts that will last a lifetime and will pay big dividends for those who are wise enough to give them.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release November 4, 2011
City Hall
Cannes, France
THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. Bon apres-midi. (Applause.) I
studied French in school, and that's about as far as I got. (Laughter.)
But, Mr. President, I understand clearly the affection with which you've
once again described our alliance and the friendship between our peoples.
So thank you, Nicolas, my partner, mon ami. Thank you. (Applause.)
To Generals Puga and Estrate and members of the French Armed Forces;
to Mayor Brochand and the people of Cannes -- thank you for your wonderful
hospitality and the beautiful weather -- (laughter) -- that I'm enjoying
here today.
We stand here today as free and democratic peoples because of each
other. It was the ideas of the Enlightenment, centered here in France,
that helped inspire a band of Colonists across the ocean to seek our
freedom. It was the success of our Revolution that helped inspire your
own. In our founding documents, we pledge ourselves to the same
inalienable rights, and to the truth that all men and women are created
equal. We are societies where our diversity is considered a strength;
where you can become President even if your name is Obama or Sarkozy.
(Laughter.) We live by a common creed: life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness -- liberte, egalite, fraternite. (Applause.)
And for more than two centuries, we haven't simply professed these
ideas, we have preserved them, by serving together and by sacrificing
together. And not far from here is the hometown of Admiral de Grasse, who
helped Americans secure our independence. Here at this memorial, we recall
our shared sacrifices in the trenches of the First World War. And just as
President Sarkozy and I have honored those who fell at Normandy, let it
also be remembered that American and free French forces stormed the
beaches of this southern coast. And not far from here, at Rhone, some of
them rest in peace in the land that they liberated.
Nor have we simply defended these ideals for ourselves. Together we have
stood up for our ideals around the world. And today, we pay special
tribute to all those who have served and given their lives -- French,
American, and forces from our allies and partners -- so that Afghanistan
will never again become a haven for those who would attack us. They have
sacrificed to keep us all safe, and we honor them all.
We saw this same solidarity most recently in the mission to protect
the Libyan people. When the old regime threatened to massacre on a
horrific scale, the world refused to stand by. The United States was
proud to play a decisive role, especially in the early days, taking out
Libyan air defenses and conducting precision strikes that stopped the
regime in its tracks. But at the same time, this mission showed us why
NATO remains the world's most effective alliance. We acted quickly, in
days -- the fastest mobilization in NATO history. And whether
contributing forces or command staff, every single one of NATO's 28
members played a role. Eighteen nations, including Arab states, provided
And in a historic first, our NATO allies, including France, and
especially the extraordinary leadership of President Sarkozy, helped us to
conduct 90 percent of our strike missions -- (applause) -- 90 percent. So
that showed more nations bearing the burdens and costs of peace and
security. And that's how our alliance must work in the 21st century.
In this mission, French and American soldiers, airmen, naval
officers, served shoulder to shoulder -- the commanders who planned and
executed this complex operation; the pilots who prevented a massacre in
Benghazi; the tanker crews from bases here in France who sustained this
operation; the airmen who delivered lifesaving aid; the sailors and
Marines who enforced the arms embargo at sea.
In fact, American pilots even flew French fighter jets off a French
aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean. Allies don't get any closer than
that. And thanks to their extraordinary service, the last air mission
over Libya ended on Monday, and that operation ended in giving the Libyan
people the opportunity to live with freedom and democracy. And I might
add, we succeeded in bring every single one of our service members back
safely, which is a remarkable achievement.
Every man and woman in uniform who participated in this effort can know
that you have accomplished every objective. You saved the lives of
countless Libyan men, women and children. And today, the Libyan people
have liberated their country and begun to forge their own future, and the
world has once again seen that the longing for freedom and dignity is
Thousands of personnel made this operation a success, but we are
honored to have some of them join us today. And I would ask you in
joining me in saluting Admirals Jim Stavridis and Sam Locklear, as well as
General Ralph Jodice, and all our service members who are here for a job
well done. (Applause.)
Finally, I would note that this success is part of a larger story.
After a difficult decade, the tide of war is receding. The long war in
Iraq is finally coming to an end. With our allies and partners, including
the extraordinary sacrifices of the French people, we've achieved major
victories against
al Qaeda, including Osama bin Laden. In Afghanistan, where French and
American soldiers fight side by side, we've begun a transition so Afghans
can take responsibility for their security and our troops can begin coming
Today, America and our allies are moving forward with confidence and
with strength. And these men and women in uniform carry on a legacy that
I actually can see from the windows of the White House. In one direction,
there's the monument to Washington; in the other, a statue of Rochambeau,
who served so well at Washington's side. And at the base of that statue
are words Washington expressed to his friend after the Revolutionary War
in America was won -- and I've shared these words with President Sarkozy
on one of our visits, so I want to conclude with them this afternoon,
because they capture the spirit that we celebrate today.
This is what Washington said to his dear friend from France: "We are
fellow laborers in the cause of liberty, and we have lived together as
brothers should do -- in harmonious friendship."
President Sarkozy, ladies and gentlemen, members of the Armed Forces of
France and the United States, for more than two centuries we have stood
together in friendship, and because of our unwavering commitment to the
cause of liberty, I'm confident that we'll continue to stand together,
strong and free, for all the centuries to come. So vive la France. God
bless America. And long live the alliance between our two great nations.

Both collections still exist under the Azaara umbrella, which also features lines inspired by nature, Paris, Florentine design, the Byzantine era, and porcelain. Turquoise, yellow gold-dipped sterling silver, and freshwater pearls are just some of the many materials featured in Azaara's extensive collection of earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets. One of the label's top-selling pieces is the snake ring, which comes in either rhodium and cubic zirconia (the snake coils around the finger) or labradorite and gold-dipped sterling silver (the snake undulating around the front of the labradorite stone). Based in Los Angeles, Azaara has attracted a celebrity fan base that includes Jessica Simpson, Jodie Foster, and Salma Hayek.

How does Santa fulfill the wishes of his constantly expanding customer base? Every Christmas Eve, once the children are asleep, Santa Claus executes an omni-channel fulfillment strategy that astounds retailers around the world. To overcome challenges, he needs a solution that tracks orders, directs in-store picking, and packages gifts for drop-off on time.
Do You Know Everything About Your Inventory?
As the boundaries of both online and offline shopping are being stretched, retailers today are focused on multiple channels and how to manage inventory as well as customer expectations across those channels. Retailers – who used to treat in-store, e-commerce and mobile shopping as separate silos - are building seamless customer experiences.
Seven Order Fulfillment Strategies To Fast Track Your E-Commerce Business Growth
Most e-commerce businesses start small, fulfilling daily orders using manual processes and handling growth by simply adding more staff, more shifts and more storage.

The Future Of The Retail Supply Chain The retail supply chain has gone global, and now it is going mobile with new technologies to benefit the supply chain from end-to-end. Welcome to the 2013 Retail Supply Chain Special Report, where we take a look at significant factors affecting the retail supply chain. Last year the Retail Supply Chain Special Report focused on RFID and multichannel fulfillment, and you can access that report at ismretail.com/go/SCreport. This year we are featuring research and commentary from the Retail Value Chain Federation (RVCF, formerly VCF) and Retail Systems Research (RSR), both industry leaders when it comes to the retail supply chain. |
Tech Spending 2013: Mobile Makes Its Mark From assortment planning to returns management and all points between, mobile devices are fast becoming the retailer's indispensable multi-tool. Yes, mobile computing is a recurring theme in findings from this year's retail tech spending report. This, however, is not another report about mobility. Rather, it's a report on the technologies and operations solutions in which retailers will invest in 2013, with some retrospective commentary on the 2012 events that are driving these investment decisions. It just so happens that for the first time since we began our annual tech spending preview in 2009, mobile devices and mobile application access are playing a profound and cross-disciplinary role in how retail technology and solution budgets are being shaped. We'll highlight that role as we explore the findings of our annual retail technology spending survey here. |

Matthew Bomer was in the new TCM and he is very sexy is there any nude pics out there of him?!!!
Matthew Bomer was in the new TCM and he is very sexy is there any nude pics out there of him?!!!
I think I saw a few pics with skin, somewhere... no full nude... but I only need his eyes to be mesmerized...
The first time I saw him in Tru Calling, I was breathless...
"Il n'y a pas d'hétéros, il n'y a que des mecs mal dragués ..." - Patrick Timsit in "Pédale Douce"
his eyes are omg sexy damn i want him i wish i could find a nude pic!
Almost nude... but sooooo hot in white briefs !!!!
"Il n'y a pas d'hétéros, il n'y a que des mecs mal dragués ..." - Patrick Timsit in "Pédale Douce"
Oh shit! He is hot! Thanks for posting....
I love that movie and he is soooo sexy in it. I love those eyes....................
love him! his eyes are so beautiful.
His new show called Traveler. It's a midseason replacement for ABC, hopefully starting in March.
It's been said in a few different places that apparently Matt did an interview where he came out.
Anyone else heard of this? Or is it just the usual internet gossip mill?
There is a thread on IMDB.com that talks about pictures online of Matthew Bomer kissing a guy. Here is the tread: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0093589/b...46576#55046576
I've seen the pics, and it's debateable whether or not they're real or fakes. They're either real, or really good fakes.
And while I'd love to find out that he's gay, because wow is he hot and a nice guy, I'd rather see him come out on his own terms, y'know?
There was a thread from a few months ago that shown those pics and somebody confirmed they were real.
Most of the cutes ones are usually gay.
Yeah, the bitch is BACK!
Who watched "Traveler" tonight?
yes tremendous boy but....I didn´t like the way he was killed in the texas chainsaw: the beginning, gosh!! I didn´t like to see cutie mattie getting hurt!!! and did not even expect such repulsive, disgusting end of him...but well, apart from that, he is amazing, a beautiful guy.
Yeah...that scene made me turn the movie off. Disgusting pigs...killing off such a beautiful man in such a downright UGLY way. I was hoping through the movie that Matt's character would be one of the ones to live, talk about crushing a guy's dreams.. Though I have to admit... I got hard during the scene where the brothers were shackled upright. THAT was a hot scene.
Recalling those direct-to-video erotic thrillers of the 1990s, Matthew Bomer would've been ideal in casting him as, say, a detective investing a murder in a posh Florida or California area. Have him meet up with the femme fatale, and well, you know the rest. That's at least the straight scenario I can envision.
Those... eyes... [covers with pillow]
"Somewhere over the rainbow..."
He is a tremendously handsome boy. Like Eddie Cibrian, he gets me with those eyes. I saw the Guiding Light episode when it originally aired and that's when I first fell in love with him. He's a dream, plain and simple.
I'am so in love with Matthew,I could do some real hot and nasty things with him.
I really wanna see the supposed 'gay' pictures of him
The gay pix were available on the net for quite a while, and discussed a lot in various soap opera forums. (Various fangurls were hysterical at the very thouight of someone they had the hots for being a 'mo, LOL.) The pictures showed Matthew in hot and heavy, male-on-male kisses, but unfortunately, like the Marty West "wrestling" pix and videos, they were ultimately deleted.
out of respect for matt please if yall have them don't repost it. they were taken down for a reason.
anyways Traveler is such a good show...I have feeling its gonna be cancelled though...EVERYBODY WATCH IT!!!!
Hope You Like.
Beautiful eyes
ahh I remember back in the day when I got obsessed with Tru Calling, I've been in love with Matthew Bomer ever since.
I stumbled across the kissing pics a while back and they looked 100% real to me.
I haven't seen the show "White Collar" but was on Perez today and I guess the lead is openly gay and dating some guy named Simon Halls. He is very sexy. Itunes has a free download of the first episode so I'm gonna check it out. I don't recall ever seeing this happen with a new show.
Yeah, I was shocked to read this on Perez. Matthew is absolutely gorgeous. I remember when he was on Guiding Light.
That's awesome. I wish alot more actors were that brave to be/come out.
BTW, is it just me or does Matt have that gay "glow"?
will he stay out- if the show becomes a hit and he might start denying it- we'll see, Hayden Christianson was openly gay once too
omfg he's gay...no way no way...I always pegged him as str8 as an arrow. WOW happy day happy day happy day! I fell in love with him on Texas chainsaw massacre beginning...
NO fucking way! He's gay. NoOoOoOoOoO! I'm gonna be so jealuos to the guy he's dating and having sex with....
I just watched the first episode. It was pretty good. It's like all the cable shows on that channel. It's all about looks and being what they perceive to be clever. He is so hot though. My gaydar would not have gone off for him.
Cool. I figured as much, he was totally setting off my gaydar whenever I'd see him doing press/promo stuff for White Collar.
Anyway, never heard of him until recently. The show seems really fun so far.
According to Perez Hilton, he's dating this dude:
Interesting... He's pretty good looking, but not my type. The show is good though.
OMG! Thanx thegirl...I don't know what to say! I think I'm gonna have a heart attack right now! I always though his straight.
I watched the show and loved it.
"Gawd" bless the USA network for bringing us such phenomenal shows (e.g. White Collar, Royal Pains, Psych, and Burn Notice); they're doing infinitely better than the "major 3" networks in mho.
I thoroughly enjoyed the season premiere of "White Collar" and fully intend on becoming an avid viewer. Now to know that Mr. Bomer is openly gay is only another reason to praise the USA network and give its shows my audience, accolades, and recommendations.
I didn't realize that Matt was gay. Loved the White Collar premiere last Friday.He's so hot
He is classically handsome.
Haven't seen the show but i knew that he was gay a long time ago, he's so much younger here:
omg ive loved him since tru calling and am so happy that hes gay. YAY!!!
tw31988, where did you get those pics at?

MORRISSEY: Focus, consistency have taken Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford to next level
BY RICK MORRISSEY firstname.lastname@example.com March 4, 2013 12:38PM
Article Extras
Updated: March 4, 2013 9:51PM
The best hockey game I've ever seen, post-''Miracle on Ice,'' was the gold-medal
showdown between Canada and the United States in the 2010 Olympics. It had everything you could want: phenomenal talent, the rivalry of neighbor nations and high-grade excitement on every shift.
On Sunday, I saw a game that was almost its equal, an amazing accomplishment for early March, a month usually pronounced ''meh.'' This, too, had everything you could want: a Blackhawks team on a crazy streak, a Red Wings team that, with every ounce of its being, wanted to
beat its enemy and the resultant fight to the death.
This might be heresy in Chicago, but I thought it was better than the Hawks' Game 6 overtime victory against the Flyers to win the 2010 Stanley Cup. Go ahead and take away my Whitey Stapleton decoder ring.
There were many standouts in the Hawks' 2-1 shootout thriller Sunday in Detroit, just as there have been throughout the season-opening 22-game points streak they're on. Lesser lights such as Brandon Saad, Michael Frolik and Michal Rozsival strafed Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard so many times in the second period that there was oil leaking from his fuselage. Patrick Kane would provide the dramatics, tying the score late, then mercilessly teasing Howard with the puck before beating him in the shootout.
But nobody stood out more than goalie Corey Crawford, much of the standing having been done on his head, as hockey people like to say. He made several saves no one with only two arms should be able to make.
There is something especially sweet about that because grumbling has nipped at his heels wherever he has gone since the playoffs last season.
I had a nice chat with Crawford about three weeks ago but never got the chance to put his words into the newspaper. The game Sunday gives me an excuse to use them because everything his critics have said about him melted away as the game went on. You know, that his confidence is fragile, that he's overly sensitive, etc.
How people know this is beyond me.
''My confidence level has always been pretty good,'' he said. ''I know what I can do. For some reason, I'm just a little more focused. Not that I wasn't last year, but it seems like at times during stretches last year I was maybe not at my best. But so far I feel good every game.''
He played well when he became the Hawks' starter in 2010-11, then saw his numbers drop off last season. There were those ''soft'' overtime goals he let in during the postseason, the ones that have given his detractors amazing powers of psychological analysis.
''Everybody talks about the sophomore slump, but last year I thought I had really good stretches of great hockey,'' he said. ''I won 30 games, but it was just those times where things were pretty bad that kind of made everybody think that the season was terrible.
''Maybe having such a great first season, you're not thinking that you're letting down a little bit the next. But maybe letting up
just a little bit makes a difference — a goal here and a goal there. I think I've been able to get back to that level. The key is to just keep going.''
Crawford cares. He doesn't like to lose. He wants to be perfect, and his league-leading 1.41 goals-against average isn't far from it. Those are all qualities you find in stars. In him, though, they are seen as evidence of someone you might not be able to trust.
That's funny because, if you recall, it was Crawford who helped the Hawks roar back from a 3-0 series deficit against the Canucks two seasons ago. The Canucks won Game 7 in overtime.
''There was no way that would have been possible without Corey Crawford,'' captain Jonathan Toews said. ''He was unbelievable in that series. He proved that he's a playoff-worthy goaltender.''
So, no, Toews said he never wondered whether Crawford had what it took, even when the goalie gave up easy goals in consecutive overtime losses to the Coyotes in the playoffs last season.
''I think it's tough for any young goaltender to all of sudden full on accept the starting job,'' Toews said. ''It comes with a lot of pressure; it comes with a lot of expectations. That was just a process for 'Crow.' I think you see how focused he is. He understands what he wants to do.''
Dominate, from the looks of it.

DISH Launches dishNET Broadband

When purchased directly from ViaSat/Wildblue/Exede this plan has a late night free zone (LNFZ) from midnight to 5am local time that allows customers un-metered internet use..
Also, the usage (which is a sum of both download and upload bytes used by the customer) resets to zero once a month on the customers' installation date, the same day of the month that billing is done, everyone has a different date depending on the day of the month that their service started.
Exede also allows customers to buy extra gB's of usage for about $10/gB...they can also upgrade to higher priced tiers to get more Data Allowance Policy (DAP) plans.
Even if a customer exceeds their monthly DAP they are just slowed to 128kbs until their reset date, buy more or upgrade, except even when Dapped the LNFZ from midnight to 5am has full speed restored for those hours..
I would caution potential customers to closely check Dishnet offers...they may not include some of these Exede features even though a bundled package may save you $10/month.
Latency on Exede plans using the ViaSat-1 satellite are less than half of what it was on older satellite internet plans and averages about 600ms...it works fine with VOIP, my daughter uses a Verizon Network Extender connected to the router and I can't detect any voice lag from the latency, though I know it's there..
Go to this web site, enter your zip code, and browse through the plans and costs..do the same for DishNet plans..
The 12mbs Exede plans are from ViaSat-1 spot beams concentrated mainly east of the Mississippi river and spot beams are also available for most of California. For the rest of the country Exede 5 (5mbs) plans may be available using "augmented" spot beams from the older satellites ANIK-F2 and WB-1. I include a link to show spot-beam coverage for the entire country..
I know DishNet also offers plans from HughesNet satellites, their new bird has Gen4 plans, so check them closely also...most folks that have compared the two plans from HughesNet and Wildblue/Exede are convinced the WB/Exede plans have the best features and speeds for the price..
Put your zip code in here and check out plans you can get and prices:
And you can look at these maps that show what spot beams are available from what satellite, and pay close attention to the Exede map to see if you can get the 12 or 5 mbs beams:
Edit: I forgot to mention, my average download speeds are 18mbs...it never drops below 12mbs, even during the prime-time evening use hours when bandwidth demand is at the peak..

How will you know how many GB you have used? ATT had a cap when I had them, but there was no way for me to know what I had used, only them. That was ugly.
According to what I was told on the phone, once I am set up, I can log into a Dish site and see my usage so far for the month -- so that I can monitor where I am in relation to the cap.

1. The dish says Exede right on it and the installer confirmed it was "Exede by ViaSat." The modem also came in a ViaSat box.
2. I'm on the 5M/1M plan. I'm getting, on an ongoing basis, 10-15Mbps down and 2-3Mbps up. Constantly.
3. The installer tells me that this is NOT the new DishNET stuff that they just announced! Even though that is what I called and signed up for (or so I thought), he tells me that they haven't completed training on the brand new DishNET stuff yet and that it'll be a few more weeks before they install any in our area. He says that it is still Exede but is completely different equipment -- different dish/transmitter and different modem. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about that... Hmmm...
4. I thought that I was supposed to need a "clear view of the southern sky." My dish points mostly west -- MAYBE southwest, I guess. I asked him which bird it was pointing at and he didn't know. He told me that it is somewhere between 110 and 119 though.
5. My ping times are around 600-700ms consistently. When I had HughesNet years ago, they were 900-1200ms.
6. He didn't have my login information -- so I still can't log in and see usage yet. My router tracks usage, so I'm using that for now -- but it would be nice to be able to log in and see it like I was told I'd be able to do... I need to call Dish and find out how to get my login info. It appears to be different from my standard Dish.com login.
So -- I'm happy with the speed and performance -- but there is lots more I need to get more info on...
Will update when I know more.

Correction: Apparently, it IS just the standard login. If I log into dish.com (i.e. mydish.com), there is now a "My Broadband" tab that shows my current usage for the month. Here it is:
Yes, I did over 1GB in the first day. heh. I was finally able to download a ton of updates that I had waiting and sync my Dropbox account!
- John...
Posted 10 October 2012 - 12:50 PM
According to the Dish info that I can find, it all says that in the OLD system, it was from install date to 30 days later. And in the NEW system, it is from the 1st to the 1st. Again, I was TOLD that I was signing up for the NEW system, but it appears that I actually got the OLD one. Whether or not that is going to matter, I don't know yet... Hmmm...

SD/SD (2TV) DVR Receiver $17.00
Receiver $7.00
Note that I have only one active receiver: a 722. I pay a $6/month DVR fee for that 722.
So, I go to the My Equipment section -- and, suddenly, I have THREE listed "active" receivers:
My 722.
A 721 that I replaced about 3 years ago with the 722.
A 522 that I replaced about 5-6 years ago with the 721!
So, the 721 hasn't been "active" on my account for at least 3 years -- and the 522 not for at least 5 years! And, yes, suddenly, they are ALL active on my account and I'm being charged $24 extra per month for them!
I called and Dish said they didn't know why that happened, but would de-activate the extra two so that I didn't get charged extra next month.
Very odd! Always double-check your programming and equipment after making any change!

Each query has an added 240 ms. to get to the server, and the reply has the same 240 ms. delay (basic physics), plus whatever delay is inherent in the routers and servers involved. Look how many pieces a modern web page consists of, and the browsing experience is miserable. A half-second doesn't seem like much, but make five or ten calls to get a complete page and you'll spend a great deal of time waiting for the page to build.
I understand that dishNET is claiming lower latency, but the biggest part of the problem is distance and the basic laws of physics.
I've had both Hughes and WildBlue, and the local WISP, with a much lower quoted speed outperforms either. They're not perfect (not enough power backup on the local AP), but overall better (and cheaper).
Posted 15 October 2012 - 07:11 AM
This allows almost instant web page loading...I barely get my finger off the mouse when I click a web site request and the page is totally loaded...this AcceleNet technology also reduces the number of bytes sent over the satellite, which reduces the usage charged to the customers' usage allowance for their particular plan.
The total latency with this new satellite and technology is about 600ms...never noticed in browsing, and my daughter also has the Exede12 service and installed a Verizon network extender to her router and uses it for their cell phone and smart phone connections (no cell tower signal in our remote location) and I can't detect any latency from her cell phone calls to/from me, although I know it's there.
I'm contracted directly with WB/Exede with 12mbs (averages 20mbs) service and the $49 plan with 10gB's of anytime usage and with a free, unmetered, window from midnight to 5am local time, called Late-Night-Free-Zone..
The customers have to lease the equipment for $9.99/month so my total monthly bill is ~$60.00.
DishNet, as of now, does not offer the LNFZ, but you save $5.00/month bundling this service...but you also get slower speeds from DishNet plans and may get service from HughesNet's Gen4 satellite without the AcceleNet technology..
If you live in an area where dial-up is your only choice (or slow DSL) then I recommend getting the Exede service directly from WB/Exede. Go to this web site and enter your zip code to see what's offered in your geographical area...not all of the US is covered by ViaSat-1 spot-beams, but the areas that are not can get the Exede5 plan (5mbs) for the same price..

That could change, of course, since we are only promised 10GB during that slot -- but it looks like, for now at least, it IS actually doing the Late Night Free Zone...

Just to note it, it looks like, right now, Dish is actually doing the LNFZ thing. Even though it is supposed to be 10GB, the gauge at MyDish for the 2am-8am "off-peak" time slot never seems to change -- it just stays at 0 used and the gauge says "Usage Is Unlimited At This Time."
That could change, of course, since we are only promised 10GB during that slot -- but it looks like, for now at least, it IS actually doing the Late Night Free Zone...

John, the word from other Dish customers with Exede is that they are not enforcing the caps right now, but will soon...and then the 10/10 plan means 10gB-anytime use and 10gB's during the "off-peak" hours, but no LNFZ is expected...
Compare that to WB/Exede plan and there are no "split" usage rules...it's 10gB anytime except from midnight to 5am where it is unlimited and unmetered...
Be careful when Dish does start enforcing the caps until all the rules are fully understood...
Posted 15 October 2012 - 05:03 PM
if it Gigabits, then it should be "Gb", if GigaBytes, then "GB"
Posted 16 October 2012 - 07:11 AM
what that "gB" mean ?
if it Gigabits, then it should be "Gb", if GigaBytes, then "GB"
Almost all sites use lower-case to indicate "bits" and upper-case to indicate "Bytes"..
In this case 10gB's means gigaBytes..
Likewise, 128kbs is kilo-bits/sec and 12mbs is 12 mega-bits/sec while some speed test sites report speeds as 2mB's/sec or 2 mega-Bytes/sec and so on...
Lower/upper case use normally applies to bits or Bytes only...mega or kilo are rarely shown in upper-case because it does not distinguish any meaningful information..

Yes, I'm well aware and I'll be fine when it kicks in since that is what I subscribed to. I was just pointing out that, right now, it appears to be unlimited also.
Compare that to WB/Exede plan and there are no "split" usage rules...it's 10gB anytime except from midnight to 5am where it is unlimited and unmetered...
That's fine. I simply won't use it much during those times. I will schedule updates for those times -- and 10GB will be plenty for me. As a bonus, I like that the Dish plan goes until 8am. I might actually be up at 7am now and then and can actively make some use out of that extra time besides just scheduled downloads/updates.

Posted 16 October 2012 - 09:00 AM
Almost all sites use lower-case to indicate "bits" and upper-case to indicate "Bytes"..
Agreed -- but I think his point is that almost all sites and all people use "G" to indicate GIGA. He wasn't questioning your "b" versus "B" really -- he was asking why you did "gB" instead of GB like most would.
Lower/upper case use normally applies to bits or Bytes only...mega or kilo are rarely shown in upper-case because it does not distinguish any meaningful information..
We can agree to disagree. While it doesn't distinguish any meaningful information, I almost ALWAYS see SIZE measurements indicated with upper-case letters. People buy 4GB of RAM. They buy 500GB hard drives. I very rarely see it as 4gB of RAM or 500gB HDD.
I do see people often not use it for SPEED measurements -- so I will agree with you that people will often write "5mbps" -- but I often see "5Mbps" too. But, again, when it comes to total size measurements -- like talking about the 10 gigabyte cap here, I almost ALWAYS see sizes written as 10GB, not 10gB.
I think that's all he was saying -- and I completely agree with him.

but low case letter designated to 1/10 1/100 1/1000 prefix and upper case for a prefix of 10, 100 1000 etc
Perhaps you are far away from engineering when it's mandatory to follow the standards
remember some outer space mission was failed when SW guy use imperial instead metric units ?

Daring Design, Poor Workmanship
You do need to be very daring to wear this. With or without a bra, you will see some breast curve with the deep plunge. The reason I decided against it was the workmanship. The sleeves seem to be intended to be long, but they came up short of that, and weren't short enough to be considered bracelet sleeves either. An odd length that looked like a mistake on me, and I wouldn't consider myself to have abnormally long arms. The previous reviewer was right to say that the arms are very skinny cut in general! At the top of the bust, the seams did not lie flat on one of the plunge sides. It was gathered, creating puckering while the other side was not. I also found the top to be a bit snug, even though I usually wear an XS or sometimes an XXS in bebe. Perhaps it would stretch out with wear, but it was snugger than I was expecting.
December 21, 2012
Warning: made Small
I love this top and although I generally don't find black tops to be the most flattering on me, I did love this one because of the sheer fabric...A Fair Warning though: there is not a lot of stretch in the sheer material and I believe it could tear easily, given the sheerness and delicateness of the fabric...I have extremely skinny arms and this top fit me quite snugly through the arms and chest...still I loved it though because it was flattering. I usually take an XS in tops and sometimes an XXS...and I ordered this in a P/S...hope this helps someone

Questions? Call us! 888.234.5656
For Immediate Release Kelly Wavra J.R. Carlson Laboratories, Inc. 600 W. University Drive, Arlington Heights, IL 60004 Tel. 847-255-1600 Fax: 847-255-1605 E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Arlington Heights, IL ---January 2014--- Carlson Laboratories Reacts to Recent Study on Vitamin E in Relation to Fractures in Elderly Women and Men. According to a recent study in the January 2014 issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition titled, "Intake and Serum Concentrations of α-tocopherol in Relation to Fractures in Elderly Women and Men: 2 Cohort Studies," the use of vitamin E alpha-tocopherol supplements may decrease the risk of bone fractures in the elderly. Researchers used data collected over a period of nineteen years from 14,738 women. An 86% increased rate of hip fracture was indicated in women with low levels of alpha-tocopherol. Study participants who used a supplement containing vitamin E alpha tocopherol were associated with a reduction in the rate of hip fracture by 22% and a 14% reduction in rate of any fracture. Similar effects were identified in men, per data collected over twelve years in 1,138 participants.
"As the aging population grows, finding ways for them to live healthy high quality lives is imperative. For years research has been revealing the benefits of vitamin E," stated Carilyn Anderson, President of Carlson Laboratories. "We are thrilled to see a research study involving vitamin E and the elderly."
Carlson Laboratories has always believed in the superior benefits of their pure, natural-source vitamin E. These beliefs were bolstered when several scientists determined, not only is natural-source vitamin E better absorbed from our digestive system than synthetic vitamin E, it is retained in the body longer. Natural-source vitamin E is twice as active as synthetic vitamin E inside the human body. Fortunately, taking vitamin E supplements, like Carlson E-Gems, is an easy way to obtain this powerful antioxidant.

Town of Lyme has been a rather big supporter of Mtb-ing over the last few years . Just this past yr they have opened more trails to bikes and increased trail milage through out the area.
They and the Lyme Land Trust are having a "biking event" which will be 2 diff MTB rides or a road ride, your choice. May 11 2013.
Some of the new trails that have been recently opened to biking on the Mt Archer/Eno Preserve are kinda nice with areas that have nice views into the valleys. If you've never been there it's a great opportunity to check out something new while helping support MTB-ing, and the town's trails!!
The road GPS track is up and I believe the MTB tracks will be uploaded in the next week or so you can get an idea of the terrain and location.
The more advance MTB ride will teach you some serious hill climbing as you go from base to summit on 2 of the highest Mt's in the area (ok, more like big hills.. but still .. )

When Did You Start at WEIU? June 2012
Favorite Show on WEIU-TV: Masterpiece Classic, such as Downton Abbey, Birdsong and Mr. Selfridge and Masterpiece Mystery such as Sherlock, Inspector Lewis and Wallender. The best of British television drama comes right to your TV without commercial interruption! What's not to like?
What have you learned while working at WEIU? Coming from a very different market in Texas, I've had to quickly learn about the community that WEIU serves, and I've become very fond of it. As I've gotten to know the staff at WEIU, I've learned how dedicated they are to bringing the kind of quality television that has relevance to the community, but still entertains and stimulates viewers — no easy feat in the age of 200 channels.
Why should someone become a member of WEIU? The question should be "Why wouldn't someone become a member of WEIU?" If you've ever enjoyed the wide range of programming WEIU provides; if your children or grandchildren have ever learned about letters or numbers or even social skills from the 11.5 hours of stimulating, non-violent and educational kids' programming WEIU provides each day; if you've been able to experience an opera or a Shakespearean play or a rock concert or a Broadway show that you wouldn't otherwise have had access to; if you've learned to knit or do woodworking or to cook by watching WEIU's programming, then why shouldn't you be a member of WEIU?
Is WEIU as important to you as it is to Andrea? Become a member today! Also, send us a message and let us know what WEIU means to you!
We love to hear from you!
If I wasn't able to watch WEIU, I don't know what I would do. I would most likely throw my television in the trash! I will continue to support good television and WEIU is GREAT TV.

Ah good eye aagold76. He turned 18 on May 21 of this year. That picture with his leg high in the air is perfectly legal tho
These are some caps from behind the scenes of Tom's Heat photoshoot. His bulge looks even bigger in boxer briefs. I've put more on my blog. Celeb Men
For More Hot Pics of Celeb Men Visit My Blog http://celebmen.nibblebit.com
Well, this guy is hot.
^Here's the full picture.
What a babe.
Damn, he has a ridiculously hot body!!!
I wonder how long we'll have to wait for a 'leaked' sex tape.
Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.
Give a man religion, and he'll starve praying for a fish.
^^^Once the gay rumors start to hurt his career- a str8 tape may be leaked...hate that he shaved his treasure trail!!!!
I'll start....Tom is SOOOOO freaking Gay!!!! Isn't he dating that Zayn guy from One Direction?
Last edited by Aetharon; October 1st, 2012 at 06:53 AM.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
I wish in America it was cool for guys to wear speedos.
I dont know what it is about him. Yeah, I find his body extremely hot, but as soon as he smiles...I get turned off....anyone else or is that just me?
Mind you, just the fact he walks about in skimpy little speedos more than makes up for it.
Add me on Kik Messenger for a chat - danny.mo.89
I can see where you're coming from- he's become quite the little fame whore of late....plus, he's on a slippery slope- he started shaving his chest hair last year...now post Olympics, he's shaving the trail, next year it will be the pits, then the legs....once that happens- I'll be done
Still not in love with the guy's face, but DAMN that body is absolute perfection!! I swear it's getting better with each pic he takes.
he's a gay man's dream
Whatever guy hes secretly banging is incredibly lucky
He is incredibly hot but should not open his mouth , well not to talk
I have never watched an interview with him but he is so so nice to look at. He has a beautiful body but someone said it once he gets rid of all the hair it will be over for me. A guy with such nice body hair as he does needs to leave it alone and enjoy.
He comes off VERY camp/swishy is most interviews- which is why 9 out of 10 people who've heard him- w/ the exception of teen girls, thinks he's gay.
Well it's Tom Daley day
Sorry I disagree. I mean yes there is a difference between Britons and Americans, but having lived in both places - that boy knows what its like to have a dick in his mouth. This is not a case of "Gay or european?"
yep- I've heard A LOT of Brit guys I don't find camp or swishy...plus 100s of Brit guys themselves call Tom camp and swishy.
I am a Brit, and there are plenty of men that are neither camp nor 'swishy'.
Personally I never got the American idea of 'gay/european' I clearly am in the wrong area of England.
As for Daley, he's supposedly dating some diving girl....but pretty much everyone as mentioned, that isn't a teenage girl reckon he is gay. It's just a waiting game to see if he has it in him to come out before his career ends.
Layla Love always.
Cena please sit on my face right now.
R.I.P Jetski my amazing angel. Could never have had a better dog!
well, Broad- you're in a minority- I follow famousmales- A British site- 3/4 guys there think he's gay...jeez, just expressing an opinion- and I never said all Brit men sounded gay- I actually was saying the opposite, Tom's one of the few I think does sound /act it....as for the girlfriend- PLEASE! Ricky Martin, Lance Bass, Chad Allen- hell, ME, had girlfriends at 18- doesn't mean a damn thing!
This is why Tom Daley threads turn out to be bad ideas- they ALWAYS start a fight....you'd think guys on a gay web site would be OK with someone thinking someone else is gay, but it always spirals into a defense of Tom's heterosexuality.
I think that Tom has a slightly short tongue that makes him sounds 'lispy' at times. He's very media savvy, and determined in what he wants. I very much get the impression that if he WAS gay, he would come out on his own terms - not on his management's terms. That said, when his mum did an interview (the text of which was not approved by his management) and said that Tom had never had a serious girlfriend, within a matter of days, his lifelong American female diving friend Kassidy Cook was being 'trotted out' as his girlfriend. Whilst the media were happy to report this, Tom has continued to deny this.
Although I couldn't give a tinker's cuss if he's gay or not (hell, it's not like he's ever going to sleep with me!) if he IS, I just wish he'd come out. We've had a great inspirational summer of sports, it's time we had some inspirational gay sports stars and entertainers (yes One Direction, take note) for our young people - not retired has-beens and Z-list celebs.
That said, Tom can be as camp as a row of pink lace tents, and I'm often left thinking that if HE isn't - then neither am I !!!

I don't know why so many American posters post that 'he's just european!!! LOL" on Tom's and 1D's threads.
since Americans can sound 100000x campy than British man, due the American accent in my humble opinion -I've studied abroad in both countries and i never met a single boy acting like Tom Daley in the UK, and actually, there were a bunch of ambiguous acting guys in my American college and the American accent didn't helped either, but i can't generalize. -
also 'he's just European' thing, is used when there's a well dressed European man, not when he's campy.

I assume you're vaguely replying to my post. I'm not talking about accents, that's irrelevant. In fact, imo, the British accent is much more manly than any American accent (I've slept with Londoners, they're hot!). Gay Americans (myself included) are much more obvious by speech imo. What I meant, and this doesn't include Britons for the most part, is that European guys are much more concerned about their appearances/use product/dress well/whatever else...than American guys. Only guys like me are as fashionable as Europeans lol. That's a compliment, I promise! For most American guys, "country bumfucks" as I say, they dress in jeans and a tee and think they're fashionable. Then they make fun of well-dressers to each other. That's why we don't wear speedos in America. It's really obnoxious, actually, lol.
I really need to see Tom's cock!
HE'S SO FUCKING HOT! There's not much more to say. HE'S PERFECT.
They've been running a story about the logo on Tom's ass on the yahoo news page- the pic is several months old, and suddenly it's news....probably his management team sent it over and created a controversy- guys over at Famousmales have been laughing about that for a while....
