A couple of things to keep in mind: I was diagnosed years ago with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome; I recently lost about 30 pounds after losing my job, but I've never had this indentation before, even when I weighed much less than I do now.
I am concerned about this suddenly appearing and am wondering if it could be related to EDS?
Thanks for any responses/help/guidance.

whats the structural components of the ear that lead to the sensory modality's receptor level surface?Damage to these structures affects the information flow from receptor to cortex. what are the names of these structures, and also what function they serve in the larger process.View Thread
Okay my optician has referred me to a neurologist due to my constant migraines but also because my eyes keep going black even though they are fine. The problem is, I have already waited atleast 2 week for a letter, that hasn't come yet, and my headaches and the blackness keep occurring.
I'm not sure why but this is the 2nd time it's happened, but instead of everything around me being darkness... I couldn't move anything; it felt like something was pushing down on my body. This last for about 2 minutes.
I'm not sure what to do, shall I just wait until I get my letter for my neurologist or go to the doctor about this?
Thank you!View Thread
I have also been having these instances where I black out for about 5-10 seconds. Like a couple of days ago I was pouring my self a glass of water and then the next thing I new the glass was shattered on the floor. What exactly happened I have no idea. This only happens 1-2 times a week so not as often as the deja vu.
There are also times when I feel lost and as though I am in a foreign environment and feel really distant for about 30-40 seconds.I sometimes get this weird acrimonious taste in my mouth as well. My ability to respond to others is also at a lost sometimes. I know that I have to respond (verbally for example) but am not capable of doing so.
Again I don't know if this is really the place to post this question. I also am not sure of whether or not these are all just coincidences and nothing is really wrong or if it might be something more serious. My mom seems to think I just can't focus well lately and it's a mind over matter thing. If it helps I used to suffer from really bad migraines a few years ago which the cause of was never found.
Thank you for reading all of this if you did.View Thread

Anyway, at the appointment yesterday, with very little description of the event, the doctor told me that it wasn't a seizure, but my daughter was choking.
My daughter was NOT choking. I have 7 kids. I have seen choking, breath holding, startling, etc. This was different. This was scary. I looked up videos of babies having seizures, and they looked just the same as what she experienced. I tried to explain this to the doctor as she seemingly ignored me while typing on the computer. She finally turned and explained that because my daughter had been drinking a bottle a minute before the incident, she has to medically classify it as choking unless proven otherwise. She explained that it would have been hard for me to realize that she was choking, because the choking occurred lower... not in her throat, but in her chest. I told her that my daughter was breathing and asked how she could be choking when she was still breathing. She told me that it is possible to breathe while choking and that is just how it is classified medically. She abruptly ended the visit by stepping out of the room for what I thought would be just a moment, but she never came back.
Now, I KNOW her bedside manner/patient relations has a lot to be desired, but what about her medical assessment? Is this accurate? Can a baby still breathe while choking? Are all seizures classified as choking if the patient was just eating/drinking moments earlier?
Is it in my daughter's best interest for me to seek a different neurologist immediately, or is it safe to wait it out until after the EEG and follow-up appointment in a month?
Thank youView Thread
Sometimes at work this year, when I would get up from my chair, my left leg would feel kind of weak, like it was half-asleep. But that didn't catch my attention enough for me to know how long it went on, or how often.
The first thing that caught my attention was when I laid down on one of the last nights in july and my left foot felt like it was asleep as soon as I laid down. This continued on subsequent nights, and pretty quickly (if not that first time, I'm not sure) it was everything from the knee down that felt tingly.
I have subsequently been diagnosed with sciatica. Because of a recent move, I had to seek a new doctor and a new chiropractor. The chiro thinks my sciatic nerve has been pinched by a tight joint at my left pelvis and/or tight muscles in my left buttock. But I am worried that something worse is going on. He has treated me for three weeks, and I am not sure if it has improved.
I also, in the past month, have made a number of changes in my life to try to help it heal. I bought a posturepedic mattress that has to be much better for my back than what I had been sleeping on. I bought new shoes with much better padding and support. I bought a gel cushion that I sit on now pretty much every time I sit. I got a standup laptop stand that I work at sometimes now. I have upped my walks to 35-45 minutes daily.
Most of my sensations have been in my left leg. (I hardly ever have any pain or discomfort in my back; the closest I get is in my buttcheeks, on occasion, like if I have to sit for too long.) I get a kind of arthritic feeling around my left knee, like things are inflamed there. I still get frequent numbness in my calf and foot, and also sometimes my thigh or buttock. I get muscle soreness and sometimes twitches that feel like they might catch into a cramp (but never have). No pain above maybe a 5, but then again, hardly a day or night without some weird sensations. I also notice that pressure sets off the tingling. And I mean any minor pressure, like crossing my right foot onto my left knee, or just the pressure on the back of my thigh from sittin on the toilet.
But the other thing: I get flashes of pin-and-needle feeling anywhere in my body. That has been there pretty much since the problem started. I have mostly passed it off as psychosomatic—but it has persisted. Anywhere—my other foot, a hand, my chest, my groin, my neck, my face—can get a quick blast of pins and needles.
I also, this past week, got a cold and have been very tired at nights. Who knows if that is related to anything.
I have been reading up on everything from spinal tumors, brain tumors, MS, ALS… I am thinking of getting an MRI. Any input anybody might have?

Can the use of anti-epileptic drugs have long term side effects, specifically, in the area of the brain? My daughter was put on Keppra and another AED six years ago due to fainting spells that her neurologist believed were seizures. After six months, it was determined that she had low blood pressure as the AEDs seemed to be increasing the number of fainting spells rather than decreasing them. Since then, her personality has changed drastically and she is having difficulty in many areas. She is doing some things that make us wonder if there isn't a problem with her brain, which led us to start researching the possibility that the medications that she was on for six months when she was 14 may have affected her negatively. Thank you for any insight that you can give us on this topic.View Thread

LOOKING for: Easy sugar cookie glaze
I made cut-out sugar cookies for Halloween for my daughter. After they were done she said she wanted them decorated. I explained that the only way these could be decorated was to put a glaze on and sprinkles. I checked my basic cookbook but was surprised to find no cookie glazes or frostings. IÂve tried this several times with just confectionerÂs sugar and lemon juice or milk, but the results have been unimpressive: either it soaked in or was too sweet. IÂm not thinking a thick frosting but rather a thin glaze that will harden after the sprinkles are put on.
This seems so easy but as I said, I have not been happy with results in the past. Anyone have a simple recipe for me?
any sugar glaze with enough sugar to harden and not stay a sticky mess will be "too sweet"...the clue is to make a frosting heavy enough to stay on top of the cookie and not sink in...That would be royal icing.
Of you can just sprinkle the cookies with colored sugar crystals. That's what I do most of the time.
Linda C
This is a little late for your Halloween cookies, but for the future here ya go:
For Royal Icing with Egg Whites: In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the egg whites with the lemon juice. Add the sifted powdered sugar and beat on low speed until combined and smooth. The icing needs to be used immediately or transferred to an airtight container as royal icing hardens when exposed to air. Cover with plastic wrap when not in use.
For Royal Icing with Meringue Powder: In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the confectioners' sugar and meringue powder until combined. Add the water and beat on medium to high speed until very glossy and stiff peaks form (5 to 7 minutes). If necessary, to get the right consistency, add more powdered sugar or water. To cover or 'flood' the entire surface of the cookie with icing, the proper consistency is when you lift the beater, the ribbon of icing that falls back into the bowl remains on the surface of the icing for a few seconds before disappearing.
The icing needs to be used immediately or transferred to an airtight container as royal icing hardens when exposed to air. Cover with plastic wrap when not in use.
Makes about 3 cups
Royal Icing Using Egg Whites:
2 large egg whites
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
3 cups (330 grams) confectioners (powdered or icing) sugar, sifted
Royal Icing Using Meringue Powder:
4 cups (440 grams) confectioners' (powdered or icing) sugar
3 tablespoons (30 grams) meringue powder
1/2 teaspoon extract (vanilla, lemon, almond)
1/2 - 3/4 cup (120 - 180 ml) warm water
Royal icing gets really hard!! Remember Lucy Johnson getting married in White House & they couldn't eat the icing-rather embarassing!A simple as you get icing is 2 C powdered sugar sifted, 1 tsp butter melted, few grains of salt (take little between your fingers-reason is it cuts the p. sugar taste like 1/16 tsp or less) then little of 1 of following, cherry juice from bottle of good flavored maraschino cherries (pink icing)so you can spread it or 1 tsp vanilla,almond, orange extract & either water or milk until thick enough to spread. Should not run all over. Just frost 1 or 2 cookies & then put sprinkles on, can't frost the whole batch &then do sprinkles as it set up fast & sprinkles will roll off. Try for xmas cookies, have kids do decorating with sprinkles while you ice them. Good luck!!For colored icing add about 1/2 drop coloring, way you do that is drop on spoon & then blot some off onto paper towel & throw out. I like pastel cookies not real dark colored.Freeze cookies in flat covered container between waxpaper for several months. I start baking & candy making tomorrow for xmas.
Hopefully these are the ones you are looking for. I grew up with these recipes and they work every time. Enjoy!
Sugar Cookie Glaze
1 cup confectioners sugar, 1 tbsp light corn syrup, 2 tbsp water, food color
- dries quickly, must stir each time otherwise it gets lumpy
Sugar Cookie Icing
1 cup confectioners sugar, 2 tsp light corn syrup, 2 tsp milk, 1/4 tsp vanilla/almond extract, food color
- use to paint or dip cookies
The fastest, easiest way to get sprinkles, colored sugar, jimmies, etc to stick to a cookie is to brush it with a light coat of corn syrup or Wilton piping gel. The good thing is neither dries so quickly that children have any trouble getting the decorations on before it dries--there's no rush. You do need to let the decorated cookies dry until the syrup or gel is completely dry. When dry, the cookies will be nice and biteable! Not hard as rocks as can happen with Royal Icing.
This makes for a REALLY fun and relaxed cookie decorating experience for everyone. I give each child a cooling rack of brushed cookies with paper plates or waxed paper underneath to catch the inevitable spillage of decorating materials so the excess can be reused.
Have a blast with the kids and make sweet memories without a ton or work or horrible mess to clean up!

When public works crews set out on a job they do so discreetly and with little spectacle. When firefighters or police officers are paged to a scene they respond with loud sirens and flashing lights. As they go through town everyone asks, "What's going on?" But when a dump truck or backhoe loader rides up the road with its amber lights flashing, people mutter, "Can they go any slower?" or "What are they going to make a mess of now?"
One of my survey statements was: "Citizens feel as though Public Works/ Highway employees are lazy and unproductive." I assumed many respondents would agree, but only 52% did. Dennis McCarthy, the public works director in Raymond, N.H.—as well as deputy fire chief and police commissioner in Auburn, N.H.—responded: "I disagree. Cops eat donuts, firefighters sleep on the job, and public works stand around and watch one man work." Funny as it sounds, his depictions of stereotypes is true—we all have them.
There are misconceptions about all three professions, but the media make it look as though firefighters and police have been working diligently on-scene and therefore deserve a break. Unfortunately, it seems that media are alleging that public works crews are "a bunch of drunks who c¡y respondent asked if I know of any other business where I could find a mechanic who could work on a chain saw, police cruiser, and fire truck as well as weld a snow plow and build a hydraulic hose. To be honest, I can't. That same respondent said that in the private sector, those would be five separate specialties.
For public works crews, it's just an average day.

My friend purchased a Xoom new online for a pretty good deal, but it ended up being a euro spec with european plug. This isn't that big of a deal but everything is in german and whatnot.
Question is if I can just root it and push one of the ICS roms to it and if it matters if it is a euro rom? He intends on it being wifi only, so should be no issue with a sim.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Taubman Emerging Scholar Johann Gudjonsson, M.D., Ph.D., receives prestigious research grant
Johann Gudjonsson, M.D., Ph.D., a Taubman Emerging Scholar and assistant professor of dermatology at the University of Michigan Medical school, is among 16 physician-scientists nationwide chosen to receive a prestigious research grant from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
Dr. Gudjonsson will receive $486,000 over three years to continue his study of risk factors for psoriasis. The Doris Duke foundation grants align with the mission of the Taubman Institute's Emerging Scholars Program, which aims to encourage junior faculty to pursue research into new thrapies and cures in addition to clinical practice.
The Clinical Scientist Development Award (CSDA) provides funding for physician-scientists in the process of establishing their own research teams and enables them to secure 75 percent of their professional time for clinical research, the foundation said. This year's awardees are conducting research in diverse areas, including childhood malnutrition, pancreatic cancer and rheumatoid arthritis.
"For the clinical research workforce to remain strong, we must invest in the next generation of researchers," said Sindy Escobar-Alvarez, program officer for the Medical Research Program.
"Supporting young physician-scientists as they transition to independence is especially important as they must juggle the responsibilities of conducting research with seeing patients."
Dr. Gudjonsson approaches the study of psoriasis and other inflammatory diseases at the genetic level, but also contributes to other novel research in the field.

Two other U-M clinician-scientists, Santhi Ganesh, M.D., and Adam Lauring, M.D., Ph.D., also received the three-year development awards. Click here to read the entire Doris Duke Charitable Foundation press release.

VAD stands for voice activity detection. I have a VAD algorithm and it works.
How to make it present itself in the ideology of Java sound API?
My few ideas are:
1) Create
TargetDataLine each time voice detected and allow consumer to handle line creation and read created line.
Not sure if lines are for this.
2) Create
AudioInputStream each time voice detected and allow consumer to handle stream creation and read it.
3) Have one constant
TargetDataLine and send open/start/other events each time voice detected.
Which one is most beautiful?

Have you cleaned the bottling bucket good enough? In my experience no matter how well you think you are flushing out the spigot, beer still gets left in the spigot creating a GREAT place for bacteria to hang out until the next bottling time.
I'm not suggesting you forego the water change. But if you haven't done this, take the spigot off the bottling bucket and pull it apart and wash it very well and sanitize it before using it.
As for the water, I suggest following Yoopers advice of using RO and maybe adding a bit of CaCl to give the yeast some calcium. It doesn't take much. The whole water chemistry thing is very fun and frustrating at first, but worth learning about IMO.
If you're using dry yeast, one satchet is usually the appropriate pitching rate for a ~1.050 beer. You can aerate US-05 after pitching.
Bottled: Old Freckled Men, Berlin Mart Cider, Creamer Ale II
English Mother****er, Do You Drink It Pale Ale
C4 Pale Ale (Centennial, Challenger, Cascade, Citra hopburst)
Gone: Honeybadger Wheat Ale, Bad Amba Jamma, Badder Amba Jamma, Slam Dunkelweizen, Creamer Ale I, Robust Porter
Cardboard is often described as being the result of oxidation, so careful handling of the finished beer is very important. Gentle siphoning, gentle stirring, careful filling of the bottles, etc. It's important to avoid the beer coming in contact with oxygen after pitching the yeast (unless you are re-oxygenating a barlywine or something unusual like that.)

Engaging Natureby Peter F. Cannavò John Barry Joseph H. Lane Jr.
Contemporary environmental political theory considers the implications of the environmental crisis for such political concepts as rights, citizenship, justice, democracy, the state, race, class, and gender. As the field has matured, scholars have begun to explore connections between Green Theory and such canonical political thinkers as Plato, Machiavelli, Locke, and Marx. The essays in this volume put important figures from the political theory canon in dialogue with current environmental political theory. It is the first comprehensive volume to bring the insights of Green Theory to bear in reinterpreting these canonical theorists.Individual essays cover such classical figures in Western thought as Aristotle, Hume, Rousseau, Mill, and Burke, but they also depart from the traditional canon to consider Mary Wollstonecraft, W. E. B. Du Bois, Hannah Arendt, and Confucius. Engaging and accessible, the essays also offer original and innovative interpretations that often challenge standard readings of these thinkers. In examining and explicating how these great thinkers of the past viewed the natural world and our relationship with nature, the essays also illuminate our current environmental predicament.Essays onPlato Aristotle Niccolò Machiavelli Thomas Hobbes John Locke David Hume Jean-Jacques Rousseau Edmund Burke Mary Wollstonecraft John Stuart Mill Karl Marx W.

Investment Bankingby Joseph R. Perella Joshua Pearl Joshua Rosenbaum
In the constantly evolving world of finance, a solid technical foundation is an essential tool for success. Due to the fast-paced nature of this world, however, no one has been able to take the time to properly codify the lifeblood of the corporate financier's work--namely, valuation. Rosenbaum and Pearl have responded to this need by writing the book that they wish had existed when they were trying to break into Wall Street. Investment Banking: Valuation, Leveraged Buyouts, and Mergers & Acquisitions is a highly accessible and authoritative book that focuses on the primary valuation methodologies currently used on Wall Street--comparable companies, precedent transactions, DCF, and LBO analysis. These methodologies are used to determine valuation for public and private companies within the context of M&A transactions, LBOs, IPOs, restructurings, and investment decisions. Using a step-by-step how-to approach for each methodology, the authors build a chronological knowledge base and define key terms, financial concepts, and processes throughout the book. They also provide a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of LBOs and an organized M&A sale process. In the aftermath of the subprime mortgage crisis and ensuing credit crunch, the world of finance is returning to the fundamentals of valuation and critical due diligence. This involves the use of more realistic assumptions governing approach to risk as well as a wide range of value drivers. While valuation has always involved a great deal of "art" in addition to time-tested "science," the artistry is perpetually evolving in accordance with market developments and conditions. In this sense, this book is particularly topical--in addition to detailing the technical fundamentals behind valuation, the authors infuse practical judgment skills and perspective to help guide the science.
Islamic Finance and the New Financial Systemby Tariq Alrifai
Can Islamic finance save the global system? Islamic Finance and the New Financial System describes how the adoption of Islamic finance principles in future regulatory decisions could help prevent future shocks in the global financial system. Using illustrations and examples to highlight key points in recent history, this book discusses the causes of financial crises, why they are becoming more frequent and increasingly severe, and how the new financial system will incorporate elements of Islamic finance - whether deliberately or not. With an introspective look at the system and an examination of the misconceptions and deficiencies in theory vs. practice, readers will learn why Islamic finance has not been as influential as it should be on the larger global system. Solutions to these crises are thoroughly detailed, and the author puts forth a compelling argument about what can be expected in the future. Despite international intervention and global policy changes, the financial system remains in a fragile state. There is an argument to be made about integrating Islamic finance into the new system to facilitate stronger resilience, and this book explains the nuts and bolts of the idea while providing the reader with a general understanding of Islamic finance. Understand the key principles of Islamic finance Examine the history of the current financial system Discover how Islamic finance can help build a new debt-free economy Learn how Islamic finance theory doesn't always dictate practice Although Islamic finance is a growing market, it is still a foreign concept to many. Those within the Islamic finance circles wonder why the system has yet to gain broader appeal despite its ability to create a strong and well-balanced economy. Islamic Finance and the New Financial System provides clever analysis and historical background to put the issues into perspective.

The Fabric of Spaceby Matthew Gandy
Water lies at the intersection of landscape and infrastructure, crossing between visible and invisible domains of urban space, in the tanks and buckets of the global South and the vast subterranean technological networks of the global North. In this book, Matthew Gandy considers the cultural and material significance of water through the experiences of six cities: Paris, Berlin, Lagos, Mumbai, Los Angeles, and London. Tracing the evolving relationships among modernity, nature, and the urban imagination, from different vantage points and through different periods, Gandy uses water as a lens through which to observe both the ambiguities and the limits of nature as conventionally understood. Gandy begins with the Parisian sewers of the nineteenth century, captured in the photographs of Nadar, and the reconstruction of subterranean Paris. He moves on to Weimar-era Berlin and its protection of public access to lakes for swimming, the culmination of efforts to reconnect the city with nature. He considers the threat of malaria in Lagos, where changing geopolitical circumstances led to large-scale swamp drainage in the 1940s. He shows how the dysfunctional water infrastructure of Mumbai offers a vivid expression of persistent social inequality in a postcolonial city. He explores the incongruous concrete landscapes of the Los Angeles River. Finally, Gandy uses the fictional scenario of a partially submerged London as the starting point for an investigation of the actual hydrological threats facing that city.
A Tale of Two Citiesby Charles Dickens
The premier novel of the French Revolution, by England's greatest authorSet against the bloodthirsty backdrop of revolutionary France, this monumental saga--one of the most famous works in all of literature--is at its heart the story of a beautiful woman and the two men who compete for her love: Charles Darnay, a French aristocrat who renounces his heritage, yet stands accused of treason in the rush to the guillotine, and Sydney Carton, a disillusioned English barrister who finds his salvation in the ultimate act of sacrifice.Full of rich historical details and populated by a sprawling cast of characters, Charles Dickens's masterwork is epic in every sense of the word. Yet its finest achievement may be the intimate moments shared by three people who have the foresight and the courage to see beyond the chaos that surrounds them. A novel whose contradictions are laid bare from the very start--"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times"--A Tale of Two Cities is the stuff of life, and great art. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

War and Peace: With bonus material from Give War and Peace A Chance by Andrew D. Kaufmanby Leo Tolstoy Andrew D. Kaufman
War and Peace broadly focuses on Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812 and follows three of the most well-known characters in literature: Pierre Bezukhov, the illegitimate son of a count who is fighting for his inheritance and yearning for spiritual fulfillment; Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, who leaves his family behind to fight in the war against Napoleon; and Natasha Rostov, the beautiful young daughter of a nobleman who intrigues both men. A s Napoleon's army invades, Tolstoy brilliantly follows characters from diverse backgrounds--peasants and nobility, civilians and soldiers--as they struggle with the problems unique to their era, their history, and their culture. And as the novel progresses, these characters transcend their specificity, becoming some of the most moving--and human--figures in world literature.

The Egyptian government has tried to stifle communication by cutting the entire country off the Internet. European activists are slowly bringing some back - by offering dial-up connections from abroad.
Egypt has been largely offline since Friday
With the protests in Egypt spiraling out of control, the government in Cairo is trying everything possible to undermine the channels of communication between the activists.
Since Friday, nearly all Egyptian Internet connections have been severed, and many foreign journalists working in-country are using expensive satellite phones to get online.
However, over the weekend, various activists around the world - including many in Europe - have set up dial-up access that Egyptians can use.
In the days before high-speed web access, the only way to surf the net was to use a modem via a telephone landline to connect with a provider.
FDN, a small Parisian Internet service provider (ISP), still has a dial-up option as a backup should its normal DSL connections not work.
"So we did have an up-and-running access via dial-up and when we woke up Friday morning and saw that the Internet was down in Egypt, our first idea was – hey, don't we have a dial-up system?" said Benjamin Bayart, FDN's president, in an interview with Deutsche Welle. "They should just use that!"
Traffic all weekend - via France
Landlines - not as useless as you might think
Bayart added that his company made a few tests to make sure the service was still working and also accessible from a foreign landline. The phone number was then spread via Twitter.
However, the obvious problem was that most people in Egypt still don't have access to Twitter, much less the Internet, to get the number. But, he added, members of the Egyptian diaspora and French people with friends in Egypt passed it along by calling their loved ones across the Mediterranean.
"People have been using our number from Egypt since Friday evening," Bayart explained, saying they saw a substantial amount of traffic over the weekend. "The first connection appeared at about 7 pm, Friday evening and the service has been used all weekend."
FDN's president declined to provide any figures as to how many people from Egypt were using their service.
"It would be an opportunity for the Egyptian government to block international phone calls," he said.
Other activists have compiled other dial-up lines from the United States, Sweden, Norway, Spain, and the Netherlands.
Johan van der Stoel, the head of Inbellen.org, a Dutch ISP, told Deutsche Welle he wasn't even aware that his service was being touted as a European lifeline for Egyptians trying to get back online.
"Of course our service can be used from abroad," Stoel said. "The only thing is that people would have to pay for an expensive international call from Egypt to the Netherlands, but from a technical aspect, using our service from abroad is no problem whatsoever."
An obsolete technology?
On Friday, an online list of dial-up numbers in Europe and the US popped up online and began spreading - it was compiled by Telecomix, a loosely organized group of internet activists.
Online activists have been using platforms like Twitter to spread European dial-up information
"When we heard on Thursday night that the Internet in Egypt was being shut down, we immediately started looking to for dialup services in Europe," said Christopher Kullenberg, a Telecomix member, in an interview with Deutsche Welle.
Orignally founded in Sweden, the group today has small nucleus of Internet activists from all across the world.
"Basically this is a technology from the 1990s, which today is obsolete – but it still exists and there are still providers offering it," he said. "So we collected information - phone numbers and usernames - from all kinds of providers and spread it in the Internet through Facebook and Twitter."
Marcin de Kaminski, another Telecomix member, said that the organization doesn't currently know how many Egyptians are using its dial-up services as it "didn't turn on" the login statistics.
Initially, Kullenberg added, the idea was that Egyptian expats would pass on those numbers back to friends in Egypt.
But the group went even further - members collected Egyptian fax numbers that they found on the Internet and randomly fired off faxes to those numbers – hoping that at the other end there might be someone who would pass on those dial-up number within Egypt.
The Internet: 'powerful' but 'dangerous'
"The Internet is becoming more and more relevant for movements like what we now see in Egypt or before that in Tunisia," Kullenberg observed. "Also in Iran for instance, or in China, the web is an important tool for civil activists and political opposition."
"Yet at the same time, using the Internet to that end is also getting more dangerous. Facebook and Twitter for instance are fairly easy to monitor. We know that in Tunisia, the police hacked into Facebook accounts to see who is writing what or who is friends with whom. So it's important that people know they have to be careful what they're doing online. The Internet has a very positive effect – but it's also very dangerous."
The dial-up numbers will continue to be active throughout the coming days, European ISP operators say.
FDN even wants to expand its efforts by offering the service within Egypt.
The French ISP is looking for Egyptians who would offer their private landline number with the calls then being forwarded to France- that way the caller from Egypt would pay for a local call, while the international call could be paid by FDN.
Then, the dialup connection to the Internet would work just as well as when people would call directly to France - providing Egyptians with a slow, but steady way back online.
