Latest Supernovae Stories
Dark energy is so difficult to understand, but this specific type of supernovae could help determine the rate at which the universe is expanding.
WASHINGTON, March 19, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Using NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), an international scientific team discovered that supernovae are capable
For the first time ever, NASA has managed to capture a detailed time-lapse of a "mini supernova," and they believe this catch will have a big impact on studying stellar explosions.
One explosion is cool. But four? That's great. Astronomers observed a star explode as a supernova 4 different times in this effect known as the Einstein Cross.
Because the debris fields of exploded stars, known as supernova remnants, are very hot, energetic, and glow brightly in X-ray light, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has proven to be a valuable tool in studying them. The supernova remnant called G299.2-2.9 (or G299 for short) is located within our Milky Way galaxy, but Chandra's new image of it is reminiscent of a beautiful flower here on Earth.
A supernova that signals the death of a massive star sends titanic shock waves rumbling through interstellar space. An ultra-dense neutron star is usually left behind, which is far from dead, as it spews out a blizzard of high-energy particles.
In 1987 astronomers witnessed the violent death of a giant star in the form of a supernova, and now researchers have published results of their extensive 'autopsy' which yielded surprising results.
Less than two months after it first began repeatedly scanning the sky, the ESA's Gaia space observatory has discovered its first supernova – a powerful stellar explosion that had occurred in a distant galaxy located some 500 million light-years from Earth.
A team led by Gastón Folatelli at the Kavli IPMU, the University of Tokyo, has found evidence of a hot binary companion star to a yellow supergiant star, which had become a bright supernova.
After two decades of searching, astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have discovered a companion star to a rare type of supernova — confirming a long-held belief that supernova SN 1993J occurred inside of a binary system.
Latest Supernovae Reference Libraries
White Dwarf -- A white dwarf is a a star supported by electron degeneracy. A star like our Sun will become a white dwarf when it has exhausted its nuclear fuel. Near the end of its nuclear burning stage, such a star goes through a red giant phase and then expels most of its outer material (creating a planetary nebula) until only the hot (T > 100,000 K) core remains, which then settles down to become a young white dwarf. A typical white dwarf is half as massive as the Sun, yet only...
Supernova Remnant -- A supernova remnant (SNR) is made up of the materials left behind by the gigantic explosion of a star in a supernova. There are two possible routes to this end: either a massive star may cease to generate fusion energy in its core, and collapse inward under the force of its own gravity, or a white dwarf star may accumulate material from a companion star until it reaches a critical mass and undergoes a similar collapse. In either case, the resulting supernova...
Supernova -- A supernova is a star that increases its brightness drastically within a matter of days, making it appear as if a "new" star was born (hence "nova"). The "super" prefix distinguishes it from a mere nova, which also involves a star increasing in brightness, though to a lesser extent and through a much different mechanism. Astronomers have classified supernovae in several classes, according to the lines of different elements that appear in their spectra. The first element...
Stellar Evolution -- Stellar evolution is the process of formation, life, and death of stars. It is one of the major topics of cosmogony. Star Birth and Life A star starts out as an enormous cloud of gas and dust many light-years across. Star formation begins when the cloud begins to condense under its own gravity. The processes that initiate this contraction are not fully understood. The cloud fragments fuse into stellar mass clouds known as protostars. Protostars do not emit...
Nova -- A nova is an enormous nuclear explosion caused by the accretion of hydrogen onto the surface of a white dwarf star. When a white dwarf has a close companion star, the companion will often begin to have its outer atmosphere drawn away from it by the white dwarf's gravity as the companion star ages and expands into a red giant. The gases so captured consist primarily of hydrogen and helium, the two principle constituents of matter in the universe. The gases are compacted on the...

I was tinkering with Objective-C today, but I'm running into some odd behavior. Basically I was trying to replace all non-alphabetic lowercase characters from an NSString. What I had basically boiled down to:
int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
@autoreleasepool {
NSError *error;
NSRegularExpression *pattern = [[NSRegularExpression alloc] initWithPattern:@"/[^abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]/" options:0 error:&error];
NSString *replacableStuff = @"a b c\nd e";
NSLog(@"%@", [pattern stringByReplacingMatchesInString:replacableStuff options:0 range:NSMakeRange(0, [replacableStuff length]) withTemplate:@""]);
return 0;
However, the replacement never seems to happen; running this logs "a b c\nd e" to the log thingie. (I was expecting to see "abcde".) I tried simpler patterns like
/[aeiou]/ or even just
/a/, but no matter what I try, the stringByReplacingMatchesInString method doesn't seem to actually be replacing anything. What am I overlooking?

Bob Crow
Union man
SOME people would resent being treated as the pantomime villain of London politics. Not Bob Crow, who died early this morning. The leader of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) loved to ham up his tough, uncompromising image: the theatrical scowl, the flat cap, the jabbing finger. He was one of the most obdurate of the socialist "Awkward Squad" of union bosses; never shying from the public opprobrium that came with calling strikes paralysing London's public transport network.

SECV and PTD have updated their speeds and bandwidth caps last summer. My package is the 25/2 mbps which provides you with 400GB a month bandwidth cap. I do not come close to 400GB a month. I use about half that.
Recently in the last few months the speed provided cannot come close to the speed that I pay for. Speedtests regularly show downloads between 4.5 and 14 mbps, however I should be getting 25 mbps. I did not change anything in my setup and my signal levels are still excellent and where they were when the 25mbps package was rolled out (and delivered appropriate speeds). It seems that most people with PTD and SECV are experiencing this issue. It does not appear to be an RF or last mile issue, but it seems to be with the new bandwidth management QoS and prioritization that PTD is using to manage the network. Ever since this was put in to police the new caps system, speed has suffered. I am considering downgrading to the 5mbps package but the problem there is that also reduces the upstream to 1mbps and the monthly bandwidth cap to 250GB. Also there have been reports that those on the 5mbps plan are only testing 2.5-4mbps down, not 5 like they should.
PTD really needs to fix this issue. SECV does not innovate either as they only use basic QSPK upstream channels (3 bonded) which only provides enough bandwidth for upload tiers at 1, 2, 3 and 5 mbps appropriately. If they upgraded to 16/32 or 64QAM in the upstream they could push out much better speed tiers. Though PTD has a lot of work to do first in order to fix the choke-points.
Original review:
So I used to have blazing fast Comcast with 50meg down by 10meg up using an Arris DOCSIS 3.0 eMTA. Sadly I moved outside of their service area and my only option for real highspeed was ProLog (ptd.net) which is the ISP that runs over Service Electric Cablevision's HFC network out of their headend office in Birdsboro PA.
I placed an order for Service Electric's double play (their website is »
). This includes unlimited calling and 10mbps down by 1mbps up Internet service. After the taxes it comes to about $79 a month. They don't have next day, or same week or even weekend install windows like Comcast, so I had to wait a full week for the install. Also they could only offer an ENTIRE DAY window (8 AM to 5 PM). Wow thanks a lot SECV! I work about 25 minutes away and luckily my boss was nice enough for me to make up my time later and take and extended lunch to go home and meet the installer. The install only took about 45 minutes and the tech (a contractor from LGI if I remember correctly) was very nice, professional and quick. He installed a filter in the box outside to trap out TV service, put new connectors on my wires, installed a new 2-way splitter and called in to activate the equipment. He also had a nice meter (I think it was a JDSU DSAM-6000 or similar) and verified the signal levels. I purchased my own Motorola SB6120 modem from Newegg for approx $84 to get around SECV's $5 a month modem rental. Over time it will pay for itself. SECV uses seperate eMTA's for voice service, so even if you rented their modem, they would still install 2 devices. I think it's a waste of signal to split the line to 2 separate modems when obviously the eMTA's can handle both phone and internet just fine (as I've experienced with Comcast), but hey, that's just how they run their system. The line comes in and goes into my furnace room where is is split into an Arris eMTA for voice, and my SB6120 for data. The Motorola modem connects to a Linksys 320n router running dd-wrt firmware, and also a 16 port Linksys switch, which is plugged into a patch panel. I ran Cat5e through the walls so I have the whole home networked, both wired and wireless.
Because I have DirecTV for television, the cable from Service Electric is only split twice. I get pretty much textbook perfect levels on the SB6120:
Channel ID 4 1 2 3
Frequency 627000000 Hz 609000000 Hz 615000000 Hz 621000000 Hz
Signal to Noise Ratio 38 dB 37 dB 37 dB 37 dB
Downstream Modulation QAM256 QAM256 QAM256 QAM256
Power Level 0 dBmV 0 dBmV 1 dBmV 1 dBmV
Upstream Bonding Channel Value
Channel ID 2
Frequency 22000000 Hz
Ranging Service ID 3373
Symbol Rate 2.560 Msym/sec
Power Level 38 dBmV
Upstream Modulation [3] QPSK
As you can see they are running a DOCSIS 3.0 CMTS, which is great because there's plenty of headroom. With only 10mbps provisioned to the modem, and 4 downstream channels, there is never an issue with slowdown during peak times. This has me wondering why in the world do they have caps if there's plenty of bandwidth? An insider also said they had recently upgraded the entire system and they push the fiber deeper than most other cable plants. SECV may run as low as 125 homes passed per node, whereas Comcast may run around 500 homes passed per node. Also they used a mix-mash of 1 GHz and 870 MHz CCOR / Motorola equipment, whereas the Comcast plant nearby was only built to 750 MHz. Anyway all of this techno mumbo-jumbo means their system is setup for great signals, speeds along with plenty of headroom for growth. I would really like to see them turn up 64QAM on the upstream and offer more balanced speed tiers, such as 20mbps by 10mbps up. Their system is using pretty good gear, like CCor Optimax 3100 and 4100 nodes, as well as Motorola SG2000's. With deep fiber penetration, segmentable nodes I don't see what the problem would be in offering higher speed tiers.
Anyway, the service they provide is exactly as advertised. I pay for 10/1 and that's what I get. I get an A for the line ping test and I don't have any issues with downloads. I download VOD from networked DirecTV HR24-200 receiver and it arrives pretty quickly. The only other highspeed option is Verizon DSL which tops off at 3mbps down by 768k up. NO THANKS Verizon! I don't even qualify that for High Speed. My definition of High Speed is 6/1 or faster. Verizon is pathetic with their DSL speeds, and were all begging them to run FIOS, but they dropped those plans when the economy took a down turn. The closest FIOS system is about 25 minutes away to the eastern edge of Berks and Montgomery counties. Union township is the only area in Berks county that I'm aware of with FIOS availability.
So the internet is what it is. You get newsgroup access, which is rare nowadays, but they do throttle it to 2mbps download regardless of your speed tier. They also limit you to 10GB a month for the newsgroups. I never use them so what do I care. I'm not 100% sure what the caps are, but I've heard anywhere from as low as 40GB a month to 60GB a month. The thing is they are pretty low and there is no real definitive answer as to what the caps are. Some people get letters every month and ignore them, some people get disconnected for 6 months after their second warning, and some never get a warning. There doesn't seem to be any type of bandwidth gauge on PTD's account management page, so it's best to get a router with an internal traffic counter built in, or flash the router with DD-WRT (if yours is compatible) as that contains a really nice monthly bandwidth chart.
So the service works, it could be better, and if they eliminated the CAPS, or at least raised them to a reasonable 250GB like Comcast, I would give them 5 stars. This is 2010, not 1999. There should be no need for these strict caps. Also the CMTS is running with DOCSIS 3.0, and all they can do is 10meg? Come on. If you have Cable TV with SECV, you are provisioned at 15meg. Still, the upload is where it matters, and as long as they run on one 16QAM channel they will be bandwidth constrained. Clear just became available in the area, but nothing beats the stability of a hardwired connection. Not to say that I won't keep my nose to the ground for future 4G / LTE services.... but they usually have even more ridiculous caps.

I also have noticed a slow down and complete lack of being able to provide speeds advertised. I do notice that during peak times my ping will go way up as well as download and upload will suffer. I am on the 25/2 and usually only get about 18-20 down and about 1.5-2 up which is expected. I do live way away from the large population though so my setup I would assume is much different to my outside connection.
I am using the sb6141 and have no issues with drops at all anymore, see my review about them.

Slow speeds here as well
I recently moved to Exeter from Lancaster and had to switch to SECV from Comcast. I'm about five minutes drive from the Birdsboro headend. I have the Wideband 100Mb tier and it's been less than stellar. I was used to Comcast delivering far above the advertised speeds 24/7.
I average about 50-60Mb during the day and easily fall to 15-25Mb at night along with 200ms latency. Really not happy, especially since I'm paying SECV what I paid Comcast for 150Mb (consistently received 175Mb).

Have had Prolog for many years. Just received my second notice that I am using too much bandwidth. Looked at my papers from the install, says nothing about usage caps. Anyway, my youngest son just hooked up an XBox (the 2nd one in the house) at Christmas and it is pushing us over what they say is the download limit of 30 GB (during peak times of 5 pm to 1 am).
But, here is the kicker - I just checked the stats they provide and they are not correct. Last weekend I downloaded 932 MB a website backup at 12:32 pm and it shows up as 6 pm on their log. So, I just sent an email to customer support to see what they have to say about it.
Has anyone else had this issue?

Update 29 Nov 2011
Just received notice that speeds will be increased on my tier from 12x2 to 15x2 next year, I guess this is to make me feel good that they are also raising the rates by $2.00/month.
I am in the Andover NJ market.
Update 17 Oct 2011
Still using ProLog (resold through Service Electric of Sparta NJ )here. Speeds have been increased to 12 x2 as of Feb 2010 and for the most part I see these speeds. Caps are rather low but since I don't Hulu or Netflix, not really a problem.
Service is stable with no outages- except after Irene we were out for 3 days. The whole area was without power for almost as long so loosing internet was the least of my worries.
I dropped the TV service Jan 2011 in favor of DirecTV and Internet costs me an extra $15. month. Now the 12x2 service is $58/month.
Update 2/25/2009
I have had their service for about 3 1/2 years now ( boy time flies).
I am still impressed with ProLog. Connection is stable with no loss of sync for the past 6 months. Speed has been bumped to 10x1 for free but see some speeds below that during peak times.
System is now DOCSIS 3.0 and they are offering a 30 x 2 package for $80/mo.
Over all Prolog internet delivered by Service Electric is a good service.
Original Review:
Cable Provider is Service Electric Cable of NJ.
Install was a major project as it required an 800' underground run for which I was quoted $2,400. I dug the trench myself and cost was $99.
I ordered the 8.0 connection speed. Initially had troubles with speeds "after the school bus" in afternoons and evenings. However for the past couple of weeks much better; Just tested 7456 x 477 at 9:00 PM tonight, so thay have made some changes.
Last Result:
Download Speed: 7456 kbps (932 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 477 kbps (59.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Pings a bit slower than DSl to first hop 8ms DSL VS 12ms on average but seeing spikes up to 120ms. Same story on gateway server, 184.108.40.206 , typical is 16 but spikes to 95 at times. I am using PingPlotter to gather this data.
They have a 10GB/mo download cap for usenet and 20GB overall DL. All that speed and nowhere to go.
Price is $57.00 /mo if you do not have cable TV.

I am writing to tell you that PenTeleData/Prolog is a very bad choice, You should opt for other cable companies to move into your area and break the monopoly that PenTeleData holds on Pennsylvania, I urge you to write your congress representatives and senators. Something must be done to depose this company and put to rest their unscrupulous and dishonest business practices.
Here's a little background as to why:
I just received the attached letter from PenTeleData, the internet provider that is the sister company of Blue Ridge Cable.
Here's what it stated:
Dear Valued Customer,
Please read this important system message from PenTeleData/Blue Ridge Communications regarding the bandwidth usage statistics recorded for your ProLog Express cable modem Internet service last month. Committed to constantly improving the quality of our services and support, BRC and PenTeleData have started working together on a service enhancement project to identify which of our customers utilize the most bandwidth, and to work with those customers toward reducing that usage to improve the overall performance of our Internet services for all PenTeleData/BRC
After careful analysis of recent usage data, it has been determined that your cable Internet account consumes bandwidth in excess of what is considered normal for the modem package that you are paying for. The usage recorded for your account during the month of November indicates activity that is not in accordance with the guidelines of our Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) located at »
. Please review your computer system(s) and your usage patterns immediately for any activity you think might cause your account to exceed the usage totals reported by 99% of our cable Internet customers.
Blue Ridge Communications and PenTeleData will compare utilization statistics for this month against past usage statistics for your account to reach a conclusion on a course of action to be taken. If you receive a second notice of excessive bandwidth usage, you will be asked to either upgrade to a higher speed residential package or a PenTeleData commercial service account. If you do not choose one of these options, your account may be suspended.
For information on upgrading your account to a higher speed residential package, please contact Blue Ridge Communications at 1-800-cable77. If you are interested in more information on a PenTeleData commercial cable modem account, please call 800-281-3564, ext. 7715.

Nowhere on their website or their service agreements did it state anywhere that they have a download/upload cap of 50gigs down/25 gigs up a month and if one runs over that cap, then customers get sent a letter. I called ProLog about this issue who all of sudden had knowledge of this policy, yet nowhere on our agreement does it even mention this cap. Oh and here's another interesting thing, the cap changes! Yes, you heard me, what is 50 gigs today can change to 40, 30, 20 gigs without them telling us! The lady I spoke with last night informed me that she doesn't even know what the cap is unless Blue Ridge tells them just that it has to do with the population increases in certain areas. I questioned her further and she informed me that this means as more people signup, the quota goes down! She then told me that I would have to talk with someone at Blue Ridge in reference to my particular cap. Yet when talking with Blue Ridge Cable the next day about this policy, they pushed the decision off onto PenTeleData. Ridiculous! In speaking with more representatives at PenTeleData, they denied this claim and said that they would be "checking into this" claim, yet they still parroted the policy of the 50/25 gig cap.
She then calmly told me that I could sign up for more quota if I buy one of their other services, which are of course was more money, yet when I went to both PenTeleData's and Blue Ridge cable's site to see the difference in the quotas, you guessed it! It said absolutely nothing about the quota, only that their accounts allowed unlimited access. What they don't tell you is that the "unlimited access" does not mean unlimited downloading and uploading access, it means unlimited access to the internet.
In referring to the letters, they work on a four strike system as follows:
1st letter - Initial warning.
2nd letter - Second warning.
3rd letter - Temporary suspension of service. You must speak with a rep in order for the suspension to be removed.
4th letter - Permanent disconnection. Will not allow service to customer again, period.
And on top of this they start charging $1 per gig over the imaginary quota on some people's accounts! This is sheer madness!
But wait, there's more, if you go to www.ptd.net and sign in with your account, you are supposed to be able to view online time here:
( hxxps://portal-web.ptd.net/AccountManagement/login.jsp ) Account Management -> Online Time
to see how much bandwidth and amount of download and upload you have done so far according to a report, yet everytime I click to view the report to even see how much has been used I cannot, it simply states "information is not available"!
Try it, I guarantee you won't be able to! So, how can one see how much usage that they have and watch their bandwidth if they cannot see this information?
Now I know that some of you out there will challenge me with the TOS agreement, so I took the opportunity of pasting it below:
Broadband Bandwidth: PenTeleData and your broadband service provider offer multiple tiers of high speed Internet access with different speeds and bandwidth usage limitations (not all packages are available in all areas). Customer acknowledges that any quoted bandwidth rating/transfer rate for broadband Internet Service is a maximum rate and are not guaranteed. PenTeleData and your broadband Internet provider reserve the right to manage its networks to provide for maximum efficiency. As a user, you must ensure that your activities do not improperly restrict, inhibit, or degrade any other users use of the service or PenTeleDatas ability to deliver and monitor the service, or our network resources and do not represent (in the sole judgment of PenTeleData) an unusually large burden on the network itself. Users found to be (in PenTeleDatas sole judgment) in violation of this policy may have their accounts terminated, suspended, or upgraded to a higher level of service, subject to the appropriate fees. PenTeleData will use reasonable efforts to notify a customer prior to service termination for excessive bandwidth use.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
I have a few qualms with this legalise:
1. Nowhere does it state above that the "excessive bandwidth" is capped at 50gigs download/25 gigs upload for the G-3 account (the account most end users have), for more money you can get "more" G-7 plan: 65gb/35up, and even more money gets you the G-10 plan: 80gb/45gb, but yet the only way you will get this information is by speaking directly with a PenTeleData representative.
2. Instead of hiding this information and only communicating this information verbally after one has exceeded the limit and then trying to sell customers a higher priced account or a much higher priced commercial account, they should be upfront with all customers BEFORE making the decision to purchase their service.
In this day and age, this cap is ridiculous and they are going to have more and more unhappy customers, I for one am moving away from my area just because they are the only provider in my area! Talk about a monopoly, the rural areas of Pennsylvania are getting the royal shaft with these guys, so I urge everyone to take to the streets and fight the power!
The relationship between the cable provider and PenTeleData is mindlessly confusing for customers, god forbid that you have a problem with your service, you will bounce back and forth with each entity placing blame on each other. And who loses in the end, you guessed it! The end user!

The service itself works, however I honestly cannot recommend this service to anyone.
A year ago, I moved from Easton to Bethlehem. At my old house, I had a 10Mbps/1Mmbps connection with RCN (with the option of upgrading to 20/2) that worked beautifully. However, in my new apartment complex, phone/cable/internet is only handled by Service Electric (internet service offered via PenTeleData/ProLog). I started with a 5Mbps/800kbps connection.
The setup went beautifully, and everything works fine except for the occasional outages when service is scheduled. I soon upgraded to a 10Mbps downstream connection. Unfortunately, this is the highest grade connection they offer, and do not offer upstream rates beyond 800kbps.
In addition to that, they have exceedingly low bandwidth caps. Any usage beyond 250GB in one month (combined upstream and downstream) is considered "excessive use" and they charge $1 per GB beyond that limit.
I would love the opportunity to switch back to RCN, but I don't even have the option. I am forced to use this provider or have no service at all because of my location.

Purchased through Blue Ridge Cable. It is unfortunately my only option as far as internet is concerned. We do have DSL avail from frontier but lousy speed and high price. The BRC installers are inept at best and do not call them for cable signal issue which we have tons of. It's like the Larry, Daryl and Daryl show when these clowns come to visit. Your better off fixing ti your self and calling PTD for a modem reset when done.

First I received a letter about illegally sharing a song on a Gnutella client. Sorry ptd I solely use newsgroups. Then I get a letter about using too much bandwidth. TOS states nothing about limited bandwidth during peak hours, but they claim it is 50GB a month. 50GB? Are you serious?
Called about a dozen times in 2 years to get a username setup so I can use their email and other offerings. Still done have one.
The service itself is fine. Price is a little high for comarable 15Mbps cable. Latency sucks if youre a gamer. But their customer support is THE WORST I have ever experienced. Lots of threatening letters. They just laid fiber in my area this summer, so definately looking forward to FIOS in the near future.

I have a 10m/2m plan. I downloaded 113gb of data and uploaded 2.9gb of data. They told me I am using to much and next time they will charge me 1$ for each gb over. Even though they didn't even tell me what the limit is.
I called today they said that I can only use 60gb between the hours of 5pm and 1am. Any other hours is unlimited, seems reasonable. However, my wife and I have day jobs. We get in a little after 5pm. So that unlimited doesn't really help us out much buy on weekends but usually we are out during the day on weekends. Days like Sunday when we go to church and have our usual lunch at the relatives house after church. Kinda stinks that this is their policy but not much I can do but deal with it since they are the only players in town.

i live at an apartment complex, and i make a big use out of my internet connection. if im not surfing the web, i'm playing competively on xbox live. call me a nerd, whatever.. but i'm sure i'm not the only one who subscribes to broadband paying for a specific connection speed and ends up with only a quarter of it. i started with their basic 3mbps speed, and when that appeared to be unreliable in terms of steady connection speeds, i tried upgrading to the 7mbps speed to see if there would be any difference. during bad weather, the quality would some-what understandably degrade a bit, but would usually get better the next day. The connection would also have a notable degradation for about 3-4 days at least one week out of the month which gets oh so frustrating to deal with. And now since this recent snow storm, my connection speeds have been ranging from 2.3mbps, to as low as 769 kbps! Completely off the wall. There might be an hour or two throughout the day where it'll be at a respectable 5.2 mbps, but it will be short lived. After i called in for third time complaining, they credited my account 20 dollars. Woo hoo.... Yet they insist that i just keep testing my connection speeds on PenTeleData's site for even more days than i have been doing already(3 weeks now). I've had this service for almost two years, and i've been aggrivated with it for way longer than i should be. This new years means a new ISP for me...

My Other Reviews
i figured id rewrite my review from years ago, i didnt keep prolog long since dsl was faster and cheaper. now SECTV is 10/1 so im kinda stuck, it hangs really bad ill do one speed test it will say 300kbps down and 952kbps up, ill redo the same test instantly ill get 9542/952 just stupid company without any real plans, SECTV will go out of business when wilkes barre gets Fios in 2089
no actually wilkes-barre will have fios around 2010-2011. Nothing has changed about prolog in the past 5 years, same retarted bandwidth caps, same retarted problems, just faster speeds. i cant wait to see what Verizon does to prolog and SECTV Op Online in NJ gives people 30mb/5mb up or something like that RCN in SEPA gives 20/4 i believe what is SECTV/Prolog going to do? Chapter 11? HA

The HVAC blower may operate on high speed only. This is commonly caused by a failed blower motor resistor. Chrysler has released a revised part to address this problem.Google+
Car Problem Reports
Dodge Ram Van 2500 High Blower Only Due to Failed Blower Motor Resistor
Dodge Ram Van 2500 Problem
Model Years Affected: 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999
Average Mileage: 123,100 mi (15,000 mi - 367,000 mi)
Visitor, 1997 Dodge Ram Van 2500, 367,000 mi
want switch to ac and heat
plevakas, 1999 Dodge Ram Van 2500, 78,000 miRookie
Replaced blower motor resistor several times after twice losing all blower speeds except high, and then only after losing the middle speed. New resistors last less than a year before they fail. If there is a revised resistor who is the manufacturer and what is the part number I need to stock up.
Visitor, 1997 Dodge Ram Van 2500, 15,000 mi
Soved problem here. Heat fan worked only in high setting. I changed the resistor that is under connected to the heater casing (a big black plastic cover) that is located on you the left side when you open the hood. It surprise me that is quite small, I removed the two screws and took it to the local auto parts. When I changed the first one didnt work. I bought a second one from a different brand and too it didnt work. I was thinking to go to the dealer and get an original, but I decided to check carefully the cable and the connections and indeed I found that one of the connectors was very slightly and unnotizable burned, moved and pushed those cables while I had the heater on the middle possition and kept trying until it finally worked. Now I will change that connector tomorrow and will retun one of the resistors. Dont forget to check the both fuses from your glove compartment and the hood. Indicated locations are on the drivers manual.
Visitor, 1997 Dodge Ram Van 2500, 104,000 mi
I dont know when it happened, I got the van this way. The AC and heat only blow when set to high.

A/C only blew on High. Now it won't blow at all in the front. Rear A/C still works.

Dodge Challenger Side View Mirrors
Life provides us with enough problems without us creating extra ones for ourselves. In reality, a broken side view mirror is one of life's more trivial problems. However, it can turn into a real tragedy if you don't replace it right away. Not only will you be putting yourself, your vehicle, and everyone around you in grave danger, but you will also be breaking the law. It is illegal to drive with broken or missing side mirrors, so if the police notices your damaged mirror, you will probably be fined and your Dodge Challenger will most likely be impounded. To get it back, you will have to pay the impound fee, which is a very unfortunate situation. Why put yourself at extra risk and create more trouble for yourself?
Check out all the superb Dodge side mirrors we offer at CARiD. On our site, you will find a huge selection of side view mirrors, and you'll be able to quickly find the one that fits your vehicle. The driver and passenger side view mirrors by the Replace brand are just two of the many fine models we have in stock. These side mirrors are an exact fit into your old factory mirrors' place. So, choose and order your Dodge Challenger side mirrors right away!

At first I wanted to go the local store to buy a replacement mirror since I was not sure about measurements. Still I decided to order from CARiD. The product arrived well packaged and it fit perfectly. Easy installation. Will recommend CARiD.

So, I was excited to manually flash the official kitkat firmware for i9295, so i downloaded it from the internet.
But i couldn't explain what happened. Formerly, my phone was running a Carbon Rom "CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20140514-0523-jactiveltexx",
with clockworkmod recovry 22.214.171.124 (i think).
while waiting for the Official Kitkat Rom to finish downloading, i went and went to CWM recovery and wipe data, factory reset, and dthings like that etc. and starting the phone again.
Until It got stuck in the start screen of the phone which shows " Samsung Galaxy S4 Active i9295"
Please Help! I have been searching everywhere but there is no such solution to be found.
Please help! Even when i charge my phone, there is no animation, it just shows the battery with the circle and it freezes!
I will post pictures when i get a capturing device, please help me if you know a solution

The next election's fiscal mood music could be very different
Will Robert Chote's OBR forecast away the £33bn hole in the public finances?
Boom times are back!
Or so scream newspaper headlines as evidence mounts that the economy is picking up speed. Given the gloomy prognostications for growth just a few short months ago, the size of the apparent bounce is striking. What happens next is going to have big implications for politics and the public finances.
For almost three years, news about the state of the economy has been like listening to a particularly dreary dirge. Back at the emergency budget of June 2010, the chancellor set out unprecedented cuts that, it was thought, would fix the public finances over four years. By 2013, it was forecast, the economy would be growing at a good clip of 2.9 per cent.
But in its latest offering, back in March, the Government's independent forecaster, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), predicted growth of just 0.6 per cent for this year. That deterioration in the outlook, and the associated rethink about the damage wrought by the crash, had a huge impact on the watchdog's assessment of the economy's potential. And a smaller economy generates less tax revenue.
Since the OBR, led by Robert Chote, is also responsible for telling the chancellor whether his fiscal plans are sufficient to eliminate the budget deficit, those revisions had dire implications for the scale of cuts — or tax rises — the Chancellor needed to balance the books. That's why George Osborne has pencilled in a further £33bn of cuts to public spending after 2015, some of which we heard about in the recent spending round.
Even by 2015, some government departments will be a quarter smaller than they were in 2010. So with health, schools, and pensioners all protected from further cuts, it's hard to see how the extra savings can be made without decimating other public services and imposing some draconian working age welfare cuts.
But just as we were getting used to this gloomy timbre, somebody seems to have switch the record for a vigorous allegro vivace. There's no denying that the economy is stirring from its two and a half year torpor. It grew by a respectable rate in the second quarter of the year, and subsequent data suggest that the third quarter could be impressive. Business activity jumped last month to suggest levels of expansion not seen since the 1990s. Retail sales growth is stronger than it has been for years. And, frighteningly, the government's madcap housing policies seem to have succeeded in whipping up a fever in the housing market.
If the economic momentum builds into the autumn, all eyes will be on the OBR once again. Will they start tapping their feet to the up-beat tempo? Given recent data, it wouldn't be surprising if growth this year ended up above 2 per cent. Quite apart from demonstrating just how much of a thankless task forecasting GDP growth is, that would be quite a turn around.
A bounce-back on that scale could send the OBR — and other forecasters — back to the drawing board. Among independent forecasters, views on the economy's potential range widely. But if the bounce were to put the OBR in the camp of those who have until now been thought of as optimists, the impact on the public finances would be huge. As the chart above shows, based on a range of OBR projections, if you think the economy is currently running well below its potential, that implies the public finances will be in a healthy surplus by 2017 on current plans. Conversely, if you are even more pessimistic than the OBR's March central assessment of a 2.7 per cent output gap, there will still be a deficit in four years' time.
If estimates of the economy's future potential were revised up by, say, two per cent, the £33bn hole in the government's finances could all but disappear. It's far too early to say whether such a large revision is likely. But as Jonathan Portes of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research has pointed out, looking at the early 1990s recession, it wouldn't be the first time that respected commentators have ended up being way too pessimistic about the economy's potential after a recession.
The political implications of this would be huge. The 2015 election would cease to be the shroud-waving spectacle it currently promises to be. Rather than competing to offer to least unpopular spending cuts and tax rises, politicians could get back to the much preferable task of arguing over how to spend the windfall or whether to give it back in tax cuts. Would a recovery prove that the Government was right all along with its policy of austerity? Whether the economy would have taken off much sooner had the deficit cutting programme been postponed, avoiding huge economic damage, nobody knows.
Whether a sustainable bounce indicates that, backed by loose monetary policy, the economy was well capable of handling the cuts all along, nobody knows. Whatever the truth, for the Coalition a sustained economic turn-around would clearly be a powerful electoral asset.
So the prize is huge, but the big question is whether this nascent recovery is sustainable. Is this a brief respite before requiem resumes? Or the prelude to a triumphant crescendo? Sadly there are grounds for concern. A consumer-led recovery is all well and good, but with wage growth languishing well below inflation, shoppers are having to draw down their savings and put the bills on the credit card. Sound familiar?
The result is that the household savings levels have fallen back to where they were in the middle of the last decade. A consumer-led, debt-financed recovery doesn't look much like the "march of the makers" that the Chancellor promised us.
The key to sustained growth is strengthening corporate investment. But that will only happen if companies think there are some customers out there, either here or abroad, to buy the resulting widgets. That in turn means that there will need to be a pick-up in wage growth to support the shoppers who are running out of economic puff, or a decent recovery in the eurozone to boost exports. Both look doubtful, even with the current ultra-loose monetary policy.
If there's one thing we can take away from the bounce that nobody saw coming, it's that nobody knows how the next movement goes. But either way, the next few months will have a profound impact on British politics.

I was lucky enough to stay in a second floor condo with an ocean view. The room had been refurbished within the last couple of years and provided everything we needed.
We were quite apprehensive when we first drove to the site - the buildings look a bit run down and from the outside we were expecting something a bit more tired and run down. Our worries were soon dispelled, and by the time we'd seen the apartment then walked around the bay on which the resort is located we were in love with the place.
It is a quiet location with a nice looking pool and barbecue - neither of which we had time to use because we were out exploring. As a base to explore it is not ideal - we got a bit sick of driving; but as somewhere to stay and relax it would be perfect.
Note that internet access is available, but I found it to be quite patchy.

Former Pimco Chief Economist Paul McCulley, discusses the future of the U.S. dollar, Fed policy, Europe's long-term liquidity problem.» Read More
Scott Mather has turned PIMCO into the top 1 percent of all bond funds after taking over the role of CIO. Mather shares his strategies for success and expectations from the Fed.
Australia took a double-whammy from record-low interest rates and commodity-price drops, but the selloff has left its market attractive to yield chasers.
Government bond yields in the U.S., Europe and Japan are plumbing lows, suggesting a flight to safety, but analysts aren't ready to hit the panic button.
Scott Mather, PIMCO CIO, says his firm will move very slow on interest rates.
Bond guru Jeffrey Gundlach said he expects the Fed to raise rates in 2015, but not on the strength of economic fundamentals.
CNBC's Sara Eisen speaks to DoubleLine Capital CEO Jeffrey Gundlach, about the impact Bill Gross' departure from Pimco had on his business. Eisen reports DoubleLine has seen $2.6 billion of inflows in October.
Former CEO Mohamed El-Erian received a bonus of $230 million and co-founder and former CIO Bill Gross walked away with $290 million. John Martini, Reed Smith LLC Partner, and "Shark Tank" investor Kevin O'Leary provide perspective into the board's approval.
Pimco can withstand additional outflows of up to $350 billion over the next two years before it is impaired, Morningstar says.
German insurer Allianz raised its dividend and promised to keep the cash flowing after unveiling a forecast-beating jump in net profit.
The collapse of mortgage-backed securities drove the financial crisis, but many fund managers are snapping up the precrisis offerings.
Add a new concern to the stable of high-yield bond risks: ownership of some companies' issuance has become concentrated with just a few fund managers.
"Asset-backed securities" have been beneficiaries of quantitative easing by the US Fed, which is due to end this week. The Financial Times reports.
Scott Minerd of Guggenheim Partners, has seen an acceleration of flows in the past few months, but it is not known whether they're coming from Pimco or somewhere else. Minerd provides perspective on interest rates and the bond market.
Russell Investments and the Fort Lauderdale Police & Fire Retirement System dropped PIMCO as their bond portfolios manager following the exit of Bill Gross.
High-yield bonds offer compelling valuations and better fundamentals following the selloff since mid-year, Pimco said in a note Thursday.
Gross's unusual behavior have been well documented, but what is as remarkable is how Pimco came to believe Gross was a liability. The FT reports.
"Shark Tank" investor Kevin O'Leary and CNBC's Rick Santelli discuss chaos surrounding Bill Gross' departure from Pimco.
CNBC's Kate Kelly reports Pimco's total return fund outflows surged to $23.5 billion in September.
Greg Zuckerman, Wall Street Journal special writer, shares his thoughts on the future of Pimco now that Bill Gross has left.
In the wake of Bill Gross leaving Pimco, Richard Coppa, Wealth Health, and David Mendels, Creative Financial Concepts, discuss if they are advising investors to stay in or pull their money from Pimco.

Upcoming: AMD's New Trinity APUs On Linux
Published on 27 September 2012 02:29 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
20 Comments
This morning you may be seeing a number of performance previews on AMD's Trinity APUs for the desktop, while the full embargo covering these latest Fusion products has yet to expire. Phoronix tests of Trinity under Linux are forthcoming.
Part of the Trinity embargo expired this morning for delivering gaming benchmarks on the new hardware plus select other information. As such, there's lots of Windows review sites running with information this morning on the AMD A10-5800K and A8-5600K.
Fortunately, there are Phoronix samples this time around of the new APUs, but there won't be any previews this morning. Due to bad timing of getting the AMD Trinity sample shipment last week when at
in Nürnberg and then the past few days being at Oktoberfest, the Linux testing hasn't yet commenced.
I'll be back in America later today and the Linux testing of the new AMD Trinity hardware will then get underway. Stay tuned for more Linux test results soon.

Muskego as another chance to create a park on Little Muskego Lake to boost lakeside recreation and provide lake views to motorists as part of a broader development project.
Last night, a developer offered the city the opportunity to buy two lots at Janesville and Pioneer roads, an area that was home to Muskego Beach and DandiLion Park, once a major tourist attraction along the lake.
The lots currently have houses on them, but attorney Gerald Boisits, representing developer Ener-Con Companies of Greenfield, told the Muskego Common Council that the owners are willing to sell.
The area is is roughly on the same site where another much larger park was proposed last year. That idea failed mainly because it was too big and too expensive and it required razing some nice homes. The current proposal is smaller and presumably less expensive, although no asking price has been discussed for the two homes assessed at $3.5 million.
In addition to the park, the development could include new homes.
On the lot just west of the two offered for the park, Ener-Con hopes to build a gated community of four homes close to the lake. That plan also includes a fifth building close to Janesville Road that would have commercial on the first floor with residential on top. An existing home east of the park lots would be left as a buffer to the Bay Breeze condominiums located further east.
The idea will go to the Park and Recreation Board meeting at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 12 which will evaluate whether the city wants a park in that location. A positive recommendation is expected, as the Park Board also gave its blessings to the larger park last year.
