They can't even deliver sufficient Bandwidth into a Town Centre residence to view a movie at midnight.
I'm sure that they will come up with some excuse or other, but it comes down to this.
Another respected British Institution has lost its balls.

Eddie, from memory I seem to think you live in Ayr. You say you are in the town centre so you can't be too far from the exchange at the back of Boswell Park. Could you perhaps post your router stats so we can see what speed you are syncing with to the exchange. You seem to be saying that you receive a reasonable speed most of the time and it's only in the early hours of the morning that you suffer a serious speed drop. Could there be some electrical interference at that time causing significant noise on your line? Have you tried removing all equipment from any extension and plugging your router, via a filter, direct into your test socket behind the face plate. Have you any extensions and is the ring wire disconnected? Sometimes small things make a big difference. As an aside are you aware that the Boswell Park exchange is registered with the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland. Perhaps the answer lies therein.

"Another respected British Institution has lost its balls."
Just as a matter of interest, when was BT ever "respected"?
As far as I can recall, it has been derided and criticised ever since privatisation.

Wuggy: I have an electrician (ex BT) coming in in the next couple of weeks to put up some new lighting. So I shall have him check all my internal Telephonic Circuitry from the entry point to the PC.
However, my real beef is that BT checked my line electronically, from Boswell Park to my PC, I live opposite the Carrick Lodge and gave me a set of figures (mentioned earlier) for the expected speeds of their service.
To the best of my knowledge, I have never received anything as swift as the lower speed mentioned and certainly nothing as high as the "Estimated" Speed.
Now, as that calculation was based on the same set-up/wiring as I am currently using, was it a complete fiction, or how did they get to those figures?

"was it a complete fiction, or how did they get to those figures?".
I think that is where the mystery lies and will remain so. Previously the let-out clause was 'upto' which apparently Ofcom have now outlawed.
On my own system, I was 'told' that I should 'expect' 6/7MB, but at one stage could never get more than 1.3MB. TalkTalk (my ISP) and BT have conducted many tests, changed many items and completed a number of adjustments. Tests are still telling me that my line will support 6/7MB, but so far I have achieved about 5MB as maximum. BT and TT knows that there is a problem, and are still working on it, a year or so later?.
Would add, that my near neighbours, using the same exchange, ISP and landline length, have maintained a regular 6MB, with some times higher figures out of peak hours!.

After reading this and also using BTinternet I tried a speed test with a shock result. After 3 years with a steady 5.9 to 6.09 I am currently down to a very stubborn 1.9
It doesn't seem to make any difference which speed test I'm using, BT's own or the ZDnet one. I feel this may be due to some authority or other tinkering at the exchange.
Today with the same download speed I phoned BT Tech and after a raft of options was connected with- - India.
Not only did we understand one another with only small corrections, She impressed me with only a short quiz to ensure I didn't have weird configs and wires. Then she said I was on a maximum of 2.0 and I said Yes that was the problem, and that if BT couldn't reinstate at 8.0 then I would be looking for another supplier.
More research, and using my mobile while she did some network test, she announced that there is a network problem which would be fixed in the next 48 hrs. Meanwhile, I must not answer the phone during the following 30 mins and must not switch off the router for 48hrs.
I think the same thing happened a couple of years ago, but then no one on the helpline seemed to know the cause.
A BT (or Openreach) engineer called, fitted a new master socket and said all was well. Nice to have the news, but as I told him the problem disappeared two days before his visit!
I hope this gives help to any similar sufferer.
BT may be expensive, but in my view really try to help.

**"Just as a matter of interest, when was BT ever "respected"? As far as I can recall, it has been derided and criticised ever since privatisation."**
The company has certainly come in for a lot of criticism over the years, but I'm not entirely sure that all of it has been justified. We're at a disadvantage in this country, in that we're still largely at the mercy of a copper wire telephone network that has been around for a very long time indeed - far longer than networks in most other countries. BT has already invested a lot of money (£1.5 billion) in renewing and upgrading infrastructure, but more is needed. A further £1 billion is scheduled to bring BT Infinity to 60% of the UK by 2015.
One of the problems is that as the economic downturn started to bite, a lot of BT's shareholders urged the company to cut back on broadband investment, but senior management has - so far - not agreed to do that.
You speak as you find, I suppose. I have been a BT broadband customer since the very beginning of the ADSL roll-out, and I'm now using the Infinity service. I just ran a speed test,and it tells me I'm currently getting 28.5 M/bs downstream, and 6.84 M/bs upstream, which isn't to be sniffed at. Over the years I've had no real reason to complain.

To reiterate my beef:
They tested my line. Their Server to my PC and gave me an estimate line speed of between 4.5Mb & 11Mb with 7.5Mb the "Estimated" normal rate.
That was not an Advert or a verbal promise, it was their Server testing the physical Contact (all the old copper wires and my internal wiring ~ just as it exists now) between it and my PC.
So why are they not able to maintain even the lower of those figures at the best of times?

Just for comparison
BT say I should get 2 -5Mb with a likely figure of 3Mb. I routinely get over 6Mb. And no, I'm not complaining!

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
Night Hotel
132 West 45th Street, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Times Square
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
For anyone tired out by the unrelenting tackiness of the neon-lit Times Square, there's an alternative, this one in basic black. The Night Hotel, a new addition on West 45th between Sixth and Seventh, is, adjusting for the neighborhood, the model of fashionable composure, from the monochrome checks of the lobby floor to the black-and-white Gothic chic of the perversely cozy bedrooms.
And this being Times Square, of course, it's ever so slightly over the top. This isn't monochrome-as-minimalism, in a downtown style, but more a black velvet fantasy, a romantic evocation of a darker, more glamorous Gotham. It's a smallish hotel, less than a hundred rooms, and like most New York hotel rooms, they're not overly large. They are, however, well-appointed, with plasma TVs, iPod stereo systems, and generous creature comforts, including 400-thread-count Frette sheets and customized Bespoke bath products, which probably matter more to the Night's amorous clientele than, say, full-sized work desks — though the latter, one imagines, might find themselves drafted into improvised service too.
Red Moon, the hotel's restaurant, serves Japanese-Vietnamese fusion in an attractive low-lit dining room — though, this being Manhattan, there's no shortage of dining options outside the hotel's walls. Just don't be surprised if you find all that colored light a little hard to take, after a night or two at the Night.

So I'm picked up. Nelnet is my new servicer, and I made a small payment to them to test out the online system. (My first payment isn't technically due until November.) Myeddebt.com is showing my loan balance is zero, and that the loans have been transferred.
BUT. NSLDS.ed.gov says that my loans are stil in default. The loans are, I believe, not reporting correctly to the CRA's yet. And I haven't been able to get a definitive answer as to whether I'm off the tax offset list for next year.
Trying very hard to stay patient and wait this out. High fives to all of us for finishing rehab, though!
This. I just got an email from Sallie Mae (my original lender) about my account information. Logged into the website, and there is my loan. I don't owe until the end of November either. I never got a letter, I never got a "congratulations" or "welcome" or anything.
I also checked the NSLD. It has not updated yet. Think of that like a credit bureau... it takes a few days to update. I know this because I watched it daily after a SL payment to see how long it took the balance to go down. Just relax!!!!
And of course the loans aren't reporting to the CRAs yet. That could take a couple months depending on your guarantor and lender. These big changes won't happen overnight. Do let us know how it goes. I think some folks had good luck disputing guarantor accounts to make them disappear faster.

Pershing attended a school in Laclede that was reserved for the more intelligent children who were children of high profile citizens. As Pershing's father was well known in Laclede, Pershing and his brother attended this early form of university preparatory school.
Upon graduation from secondary school in 1878, Pershing became a local teacher and became involved with educating local African American children. In this way, although living in an atmosphere of 19th century United States racism, Pershing developed an understanding of racial issues that would later come to play in his military career when he commanded a racially diverse unit of soldiers.
Between 1880 and 1882, Pershing attended the North Missouri Normal School (now Truman State University) in Kirksville, Missouri. In 1882, he applied to the United States Military Academy after hearing that West Point offered excellent college level education. Pershing later admitted that a desire to serve in military was secondary to attending West Point and that he mainly applied to the school because the education offered was better than that of rural Missouri.
John J. Pershing was sworn in as a West Point cadet in the fall of 1882. He was selected early for leadership and rose to become First Corporal, First Sergeant, First Lieutenant, and First Captain, the highest possible cadet rank at West Point. Cadet First Captain Pershing commanded ex officio the West Point Honor Guard that escorted the funeral of President Ulysses S. Grant.
Pershing graduated from West Point in the summer of 1886 and was commended by the Superintendent of West Point, General Wesley Merritt, as having high leadership skills and possessing "superb ability".
Just prior to graduation, Pershing briefly considered petitioning the Army to let him study law and delay his commission. He applied for a furlough from West Point, but soon withdrew the request in favor of active Army duty. He was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army in the fall of 1886, at the age of twenty six, graduating 30th in a class of 77 from West Point.
Between 1887 and 1890, Pershing served with the 6th Cavalry at various postings in California, Arizona, and North Dakota. He also became an expert marksman and, in 1891, was rated second in pistol and fifth in rifle out of all soldiers in the U.S. Army.
On December 9, 1890, Pershing and the 6th Cavalry arrived at Sioux City, Iowa where Pershing played a role in suppressing the last uprisings of the Lakota (Sioux) Indians. He participated as 2nd Lieutenant in the Wounded Knee Massacre.
A year later, he was assigned as an instructor of military tactics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Pershing would hold this post until 1895, but was not promoted, remaining as a second lieutenant at the age of 35.
While in Nebraska, Pershing also attended law school and graduated in 1893. Additionally, he formed a drill company, Company A, in 1891 that won the Omaha Cup. In 1893, Company A became a fraternal organization, changing its name to the Varsity Rifles. The group changed its name for the last time in 1894, renaming itself the Pershing Rifles in honor of its founder.
On October 1, 1895, Pershing was promoted to first lieutenant and took command of a troop of the 10th Cavalry Regiment (one of the original Buffalo Soldier regiments), composed of African-American soldiers under white officers. From Fort Assinniboine in north central Montana, he commanded an expedition to the south and southwest that rounded up and deported a large number of Cree Indians to Canada. Though, like most of the nation at the time, he was unsympathetic to Native Americans, Pershing was an outspoken advocate of the value of African American soldiers in the U.S. military.
In 1897, Pershing became an instructor at West Point, where he joined the tactical staff. While at West Point, cadets upset over Pershing's harsh treatment and high standards took to calling him "Nigger Jack", in reference to his service with the 10th Cavalry. This was softened (or sanitized) to the more euphonic "Black Jack" by reporters covering Pershing during World War I.
Upon the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, First Lieutenant Pershing (then 38 years old) was offered a brevet rank and commissioned a Major of Volunteers on August 26 1898. He fought with distinction at Kettle and San Juan Hill in Cuba and was cited for gallantry. In 1919, he was awarded the Silver Citation Star for these actions and, in 1932, the award was upgraded to the Silver Star Medal.
In March 1899, after suffering from malaria and spending a sick furlough in the United States, Pershing was put in charge of the Office of Customs and Insular Affairs which oversaw occupation forces in territories gained in the Spanish-American War, to include Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Guam.
When the Philippine-American War broke out, Pershing was ordered to Manila and reported for duty on August 17 1899. He was assigned to the Department of Mindanao and Jolo and commanded efforts to suppress the Philippine resistance. On November 27 1900, Pershing was appointed Adjutant General of his department and served in this posting until March 1 1901. He was cited for bravery for actions on the Cagayan River while attempting to destroy a Philippine stronghold at Macajambo.
In the spring of 1901, Pershing's brevet commission was revoked and he reassumed his rank as captain in the Regular Army. He served with the U.S. 1st Cavalry Regiment in the Philippines, continuing actions against the Philippine resistance. He later joined the U.S. 15th Cavalry Regiment where he served as an intelligence officer, participating in actions against the Moros, where he was cited for bravery once again at Lake Lanao. In June 1901, he also briefly served as Commander of Camp Vicars in Lanao, Philippines, after the previous camp commander had been promoted to brigadier general.
In 1904, Pershing was assigned as the Assistant Chief of Staff of the Southwest Army Division stationed at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. In October 1904, he attended the Army War College and then was ordered to Washington, D.C. for "general duties unassigned". Since Theodore Roosevelt could not yet promote Pershing, he petitioned the United States Congress to authorize a diplomatic posting and Pershing was stationed as military attaché in Tokyo in 1905. Also, in 1905, Pershing married Helen Frances Warren, the daughter of powerful U.S. Senator Francis E. Warren, a Wyoming Republican and chairman of the U.S. Military Appropriations Committee. Critics alleged that this union greatly helped his military career.
After serving as an observer in the Russo-Japanese War, Pershing returned to the United States in the fall of 1905. In a move that shocked the army establishment, President Roosevelt employed his presidential prerogative and nominated Pershing as a brigadier general, a move which Congress approved. In skipping three ranks and more than 835 officers senior to him, the promotion outraged ranking Army officers who would state, for the rest of their careers, that Pershing's appointment was the result of political connections and not military abilities. However, many other officers supported Pershing and believed that, based on his demonstrated ability to command combat forces, the promotion to general, while unusual, was not out of line.
In 1908, Pershing briefly served as a U.S. military observer in the Balkans, an assignment which was based out of Paris. Upon returning the United States, at the end of 1909, Pershing was assigned once again to the Philippines, an assignment which he served until 1912. While in the Philippines, he served as Commander of Fort McKinley, near Manila, and also was the governor of the Moro Province. The last of Pershing's four children was born in the Philippines and it was during this time that he became an Episcopalian.
In January 1914, Pershing was assigned to command the Army 8th Brigade in Fort Bliss, Texas, responsible for security along the U.S.-Mexico border. In March 1916, under the command of General Frederick Funston, Pershing led the 8th Brigade on the failed 1916–17 Punitive Expedition into Mexico in search of the revolutionary leader Pancho Villa. During this time, George S. Patton served as one of Pershing's aides.
After a year at Fort Bliss, Pershing decided to bring his family there. The arrangements were almost complete, when on the morning of August 27, 1915, he received a telegram telling him of a tragic fire in the Presidio of San Francisco, where a lacquered floor blaze had rapidly spread, resulting in the smoke inhalation deaths of his wife, Helen, and three young daughters. Only his six-year-old son Warren was saved. Many who knew Pershing said he never recovered from their deaths. After the funerals at Lakeview Cemetery in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Pershing returned to Fort Bliss with his son, Warren, and his sister Mae, and resumed his duties of commanding officer.
At the start of World War I President Woodrow Wilson considered mobilizing an army to join the fight. Frederick Funston, Pershing's superior in Mexico, was being considered for the top billet as the Commander of the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) when he died suddenly from a heart attack on February 19, 1917. Following America's entrance into the war, Wilson, after a short interview, named Pershing to command, a post which he retained until 1918. Pershing, who was a major general, was promoted to full general (the first since Philip Sheridan in 1888) in the National Army, and was made responsible for the organization, training, and supply of a combined professional and draft Army and National Guard force that eventually grew from 27,000 inexperienced men to two armies (a third was forming as the war ended) totalling over two million soldiers.
Pershing exercised significant control over his command, with a full delegation of authority from Wilson and Secretary of War, Newton Baker. Baker, cognizant of the endless problems of domestic and allied political involvement in military decision making in wartime gave Pershing unmatched authority to run his command as he saw fit. In turn, Pershing exercised his prerogative carefully, not engaging in issues that might distract or diminish his command. While earlier a champion of the African-American soldier, he did not champion their full participation on the battlefield, understanding Wilson's reactionary views on race and the political debts he owed to southern Democratic law makers.
During this time, George C. Marshall, who sadly saw Pershing depart for France and later came as command staff for the 1st Infantry Division, later served as one of Pershing's top assistants during and after the war. Douglas MacArthur served in turn as chief of staff of, then as a brigade commander in, and then for the final month of the war, commander of the 42nd "Rainbow" Division. Pershing's initial chief of staff was businessman James Harbord, who later took a combat command, but would work as Pershing's closest assistant for many years and remain extremely loyal to Pershing.
After departing from Fort Jay at Governors Island in New York Harbor under top secrecy in May 1917, Pershing arrived in France in June 1917. In a show of American presence, part of the 16th Infantry Regiment, lacking polish and discipline, but demonstrating much enthusiasm marched through Paris shortly after his arrival. Pausing at Lafayette's tomb he was reputed to have said the famous line "Lafayette, we are here." The morale-boosting sound bite was in fact spoken by his aide, Colonel Charles E. Stanton. Token American forces were deployed in France in the fall of 1917, with an enormous tonic effect on Allied morale.
Due to the effects of trench warfare on soldiers' feet, in January, 1918, Pershing oversaw the creation of an improved combat boot, the "1918 Trench Boot", which became known as the "Pershing Boot" upon its introduction.
American forces first saw serious action during the summer of 1918, contributing eight large divisions, alongside 24 French ones, at the Second Battle of the Marne. Along with the Fourth Army's victory at Amiens, the Franco-American victory at the Second Battle of the Marne marked the turning point of the war on the Western Front.
In August 1918, US First Army had been formed, first under Pershing's direct command and then by Hunter Liggett, when the US Second Army under Robert Bullard was created. After a quick victory at Saint-Mihiel, east of Verdun, some of the more bullish AEF commanders had hoped to push on eastwards to Metz, but this did not fit in with the plans of the Allied Supreme Commander, Marshal Foch, for three simultaneous offensives into the "bulge" of the Western Front (the other two being the Fourth Army's breach of the Hindenburg Line and an Anglo-Belgian offensive, led by Plumer's Second Army, in Flanders). Instead, the AEF was required to redeploy and, aided by French tanks, launched a major offensive northwards in very difficult terrain at Meuse-Argonne. Initially enjoying numerical odds of eight to one, this offensive eventually engaged 35 or 40 of the 190 or so German divisions on the Western Front, although to put this in perspective, around half the German divisions were engaged on the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) sector at the time.
When he arrived in Europe, Pershing had openly scorned the slow trench warfare of the previous three years on the Western Front, believing that American soldiers' skill with the rifle would enable them to avoid costly and senseless fighting over a small area of no man's land. This was regarded as unrealistic by British and French generals, and (privately) by a number of American generals such as Army Chief of Staff Tasker H. Bliss and his own Hunter Liggett. The AEF had done well in the relatively open warfare of the Second Battle of the Marne, but the eventual U.S. casualty rates against German defensive positions in the Argonne (120,000 U.S. casualties in six weeks, against 35 or 40 German divisions) were not noticeably better than those of the Franco-British offensive on the Somme two years earlier (600,000 casualties in four and a half months, versus 50 or so German divisions). More ground was gained, but then the German Army was in worse shape than in previous years.
Some writers (e.g., David Trask (1993)) have speculated that Pershing's frustration at the slow progress through the Argonne was the cause of two incidents which then ensued. Firstly, he ordered the U.S. First Army to take "the honor" of recapturing Sedan, site of the French defeat in 1870; the ensuing confusion (an order was issued that "boundaries were not to be considered binding") exposed U.S. troops to danger not only from the French on their left, but even from one another, as the 1st Division tacked westward by night across the path of the 42nd (accounts differ as to whether Douglas MacArthur was really mistaken for a German officer and arrested). Liggett, who had been away from headquarters the previous day, had to sort out the mess and implement the instructions from Supreme Commander Marshal Foch, allowing the French to recapture the city; he later recorded that this was the only time during the war in which he lost his temper.
Secondly, Pershing sent an unsolicited letter to the Allied Supreme War Council, demanding that the Germans not be given an armistice and that instead, the Allies should push on and obtain an unconditional surrender. Although in later years, many, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt, felt that Pershing had had a point, at the time, this was a breach of political authority. Pershing narrowly escaped a serious reprimand from Wilson's aide, Colonel House, and later apologized.
At the time of the Armistice, another U.S.-French offensive was due to start on 14 November, thrusting towards Metz and into Lorraine, to take place simultaneously with further BEF advances through Belgium.
In his memoirs, Pershing claimed that the U.S. breakout from the Argonne at the start of November was the decisive event leading to the German acceptance of an armistice, because it made untenable the Antwerp-Meuse line. This is probably an exaggeration; the outbreak of civil unrest and naval mutiny in Germany, the collapse of Bulgaria, Turkey, and particularly Austria-Hungary following Allied victories in Salonika, Syria, and Italy, and the Allied victories on the Western Front were among a series of events in the autumn of 1918 which made it clear that Allied victory was inevitable, and diplomatic inquiries about an armistice had been going on throughout October. President Wilson was keen to tie matters up before the mid-term elections, and the other Allies did not have the strength to defeat Germany without U.S. help, so had little choice but to follow Wilson's lead.
By the end of the war, U.S. troop strength in Europe (1.8 million or more) was slightly greater than that of the BEF (1.7m). French strength (three Army Groups, totalling 2.5m) was still greater, but much of it was deployed in quiet sectors such as Alsace, and after horrendous casualties and mutiny earlier in the war, France was only able or willing to undertake major offensives in conjunction with U.S. troops. Combatant strength was approximately 60% of these ration strengths in each case. Although the war ended before U.S. front-line strength vastly outstripped that of the other Western Allies as would happen in 1944-5, the threat of ever-greater U.S. commitment was another factor driving the German leadership to ask for an armistice.
American successes were largely credited to Pershing, and he became the most celebrated American leader of the war. Critics, however, would claim that Pershing commanded from far behind the lines and was critical of commanders who personally led troops into battle. This critique would become a sore point with Douglas MacArthur, who saw Pershing as a desk soldier, and the relationship between the two men deteriorated by the end of the war. Similar criticism of senior commanders by the younger generation of officers (the future generals of World War II) was made in the British and other armies, but in fairness to Pershing it should be noted that, although it was not uncommon for brigade commanders to serve near the front and even be killed, the state of communications in World War I made it more practical for senior generals to command from the rear.
Pershing gave a battlefield promotion to Lieutenant Colonel Ernest O. Thompson of Texas, a specialist in the use of machine guns. Thompson later became a lieutenant general of the Texas National Guard, a mayor of Amarillo, a member of the Texas Railroad Commission for thirty-two years, and an expert on international petroleum issues.
In 1919, in recognition of his distinguished service during World War I, the U.S. Congress authorized the President to promote Pershing to General of the Armies of the United States, the highest rank possible for any member of the United States armed forces and was created especially for him and one that only he held at the time (General George Washington was posthumously promoted to this rank by President Gerald Ford in 1976). Pershing was authorized to create his insignia for the new rank, and chose to wear four gold stars for the rest of his career, which separated him from the four (temporary) silver stars worn by Army Chiefs of Staff, and even the five star General of the Army insignia worn by Marshall, MacArthur, Bradley, Eisenhower, and H. 'Hap' Arnold in World War II (Pershing outranked them all).
There was a movement to make Pershing President of the United States in 1920, but he refused to actively campaign. In a newspaper article, he said that he "wouldn't decline to serve" if the people wanted him and this made front page headlines. Though Pershing was a Republican, many of his party's leaders considered him too closely tied to the policies of the Democratic Party's President Wilson. The Republican nomination went to Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio, who won the 1920 presidential election.
In 1921, Pershing became Chief of Staff of the United States Army, serving at this posting for three years. He created the Pershing Map, a proposed national network of military and civilian highways. The Interstate Highway System instituted in 1956 bears considerable resemblance to the Pershing map. In 1924, then 64 years old, Pershing retired from active military service, yet continued to be listed on the active duty rolls as part of his commission as General of the Armies.
On November 1, 1921 Pershing was in Kansas City to take part in the groundbreaking ceremony for the Liberty Memorial that was being constructed there. Also present that day were Lieutenant General Baron Jacques of Belgium, Admiral David Beatty of Great Britain, Marshal Ferdinand Foch of France and General Armando Diaz of Italy. One of the main speakers was Vice President Calvin Coolidge of the United States. In 1935, bas-reliefs of Pershing, Jacques, Foch and Diaz by sculptor Walker Hancock were added to the memorial.
On October 2, 1922, amidst several hundred officers, many of them combat veterans of World War I, General of the Armies, John J. "Black Jack" Pershing formally established the Reserve Officers Association (ROA) as an organization at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. ROA is a 75,000-member, professional association of officers, former officers, and spouses of all the uniformed services of the United States, primarily the Reserve and United States National Guard. It is a congressionally chartered Association that advises the Congress and the President on issues of national security on behalf of all members of the Reserve Component.
During the 1930s, Pershing maintained a private life, but was made famous by his memoirs, My Experiences in the World War, which were awarded the 1932 Pulitzer Prize for history. He was also an active Civitan during this time.
In 1940, Pershing was an outspoken advocate of aid for the United Kingdom during World War II. In 1944, with the creation of the new five star rank General of the Army, Pershing was acknowledged as the highest ranking officer of the United States military. When asked if this made Pershing a six star General, the then Secretary of War (Henry L. Stimson) commented that it did not, since Pershing never wore more than four stars but that Pershing was still to be considered senior to the present five star generals of World War II.
In July 1944, Pershing was visited by Free French leader General Charles de Gaulle. When Pershing, by then semi-senile, asked after the health of his old friend, Marshal Petain (now heading the pro-German Vichy regime), de Gaulle replied tactfully that when he last saw him, the Marshal was well.
On July 15 1948, Pershing died at the Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, D.C. (his home after 1944). He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery, near the grave sites of the soldiers he commanded in Europe, after a state funeral.
Warren Pershing, John J. Pershing's son, served in the Second World War as an advisor to Army Chief of Staff George C. Marshall and ended the war as a full Colonel. He was father to two sons, Richard W. Pershing and John Warren Pershing III. Richard Pershing served as a 2nd Lieutenant in the 502nd Infantry and was killed in action on 17 February 1968 in Vietnam. John Pershing III served as a special assistant to former Army Chief of Staff General Gordon R. Sullivan, and helped shape Army and Army ROTC programs nationwide.

As there was no official insignia, General Pershing wore four gold stars. Later, the rank is considered a 6-star general. Although he had the rank of General of the Armies," he never wore the rank on his uniform. This information can be found in his biography "When the Last Trumpet Sounds" by Gene Smith.
In 1932, seven years after Pershing's retirement from active service, his silver citation star was upgraded to the Silver Star Medal and he became eligible for the Purple Heart. In 1941, he was retroactively awarded the Army of Occupation of Germany Medal for service in Germany following the close of World War I.

Arizona Cardinals
How did the Arizona Cardinals spend their bye week?
The bye week came at a much-needed time for the Arizona Cardinals.
While the Redbirds certainly limped into their Week 10 hiatus on the heels of a five-game losing streak, not all of their time off was spent on the practice field.
The Cardinals got back to the fundamentals this week, but after Thursday's practice the team was given the weekend off to regroup.
Since the hectic 17-week season keeps players away from their families during the holiday season, any time an extended reprieve from the field is granted, everyone jumps at the opportunity.
Here's a taste of what members of the Cardinals were doing with their respective weekends:

Spicy Oriental
Top Notes: Cinnamon, Cardamom, Pink Peppercorns
Middle Notes: Neroli, Rose, Leather, Civet, Moss, Castoreum
Base Notes: Agarwood, Sandalwood, Atlas Cedar, Patchouli, Myrrh, Incense, Vanilla, Tonka Bean
Warm spices start this off, with a little bit of sparkle from the pink peppercorns. Then some heady florals mixed in with moss and animal notes come up, but the base notes are already rising by then, slightly upstaging the heart notes' clout. The marriage of these top and heart notes to an excellent woody oriental base completes the scent. A fine balance and a bit of continuing development till the base fully takes over and lingers quite a while. This scent is great for longevity and moderately strong for sillage. All in all, another good job by Bertrand Duchaufour still bringing hot stuff out of that hot oven! (Sorry about the pun! It was irresistible.)

Trying out -thanks to Bloomy! - the newest Diorissimo and things are not going well. It's been years since I wore this and my memory is of a limpid muguet undergirded by the most tender jasmine with that richness one (I) associates with "fine French perfume".
So far this is is strident and - burnt rubbery! After that first blast the jasmine - less than ladylike - came barreling through, still trailing the rubber. It's only been a short time. Maybe things will improve. Dommage!

Middle Notes: Violet, Jasmin, Carnation, Orris, Rose, Aldehyde .
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Musk, Tonka, Moss, Amber.
This lacks the complexity of other Knize fragrances, but it has a simple charm, and has much to delight in. The opening is a bright citric blend, entwined with an approaching violet note. As the early citrus elements are discarded, I am aware of a taut aldehydic presence supporting the now potent and rich violet. A distant chorus of florals adds a light sweetness to a production that will evolve little, but slowly mature into warm and aromatic floral. It is an obvious candidate for unisex classification, and a flexible addition to any formal wardrobe
Thanks for the kind wishes! I'll be enjoying Maharadjah in the cool, sunny weather today.

TRISWIM emerged out of their privately owned parent company, SBR Sports Incorporated, which are both owned and operated by Karen Allard. A former stay-at-home mom, Allard soon discovered a passion for triathlons in 2001 and has since then become a leading age group triathlete and USAT Certified Coach.
Her involvement in sports led to her discovery of the high-demand for quality chlorine removal shampoo and skin care products for swimmers. Allard decided that if she wanted a product that was going to meet these demands, then she was going to have to develop it herself.
Working with some of the world's renowned labs and award-winning chemists, Allard produced products that work to neutralize and detoxify chlorine and chlorine odor from your skin and hair, while continuing to hydrate and nourish your hair with ingredients such as Organic Aloe Vera, Vitamin A and E, and ProVitamin B5. Branding the products under the name TRISWIM, they soon became a hit and are now being distributed to athletes around the world.

to support Parkinson's disease
Equal opportunity in U.Va. admissions
D. Sweeney, Vice President for Development
Campaign is making its mark
the Board of Visitors
raised the Campaign for the University's fund-raising goal from
$750 million to $1 billion in February 1998, we could not have
foreseen that the University would reach the 10-figure milestone
a year before the campaign's scheduled conclusion, as now appears
almost certain.
for those of us in the field of institutional advancement, these
are the best of times. The University has had the rare good fortune
of conducting its campaign in a strong economy and the longest
bull market in history. Moreover, the University's standing among
alumni and the general public has never been greater. Our benefactors
know they are investing in a winner.
campaign's success can't be measured in dollars and cents alone.
Across the Grounds, our donors are strengthening schools and programs
in tangible and enduring ways.
The most visible transformation has been in physical facilities,
from the new and expanded structures for Darden
and Law to the restoration
work under way in Pavilion VII to the additional seats and state-of-the-art
playing surface in Scott Stadium. Soon the University will break
ground for a medical research building, a laboratory addition
for Environmental Sciences,
and a library complex that will house the David A. Harrison III
Institute of American History, Literature and Culture and the
Albert H. Small Special Collections Library. All of these have
been funded in large measure through the campaign.
campaign also is touching individual members of the University
family. To date we have received some $130 million in gifts, pledges,
and deferred gifts for endowed professorships, scholarships and
graduate fellowships. When all these commitments are fulfilled,
they will generate more than $7 million a year in student and
faculty support.
campaign already has helped the University make faculty salaries
more competitive. Between 1996 and 1999, with the help of unrestricted
funds received in the campaign, the University pushed its faculty
salaries from 32nd place in the American Association of Universities
to 23rd place. And through the campaign, faculty and staff have

we will begin laying the groundwork for the next phase of the

Wawa, Inc. Completes Roll-Out of Radiant Systems Solution.
Chain Wide Rollout using Radiant Systems' Core-Tech Back Office
and Headquarters Management Systems positions Wawa as technology
Radiant Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RADS), a leading provider of integrated technology solutions to retailers worldwide, announces the successful implementation of its Core-Tech Back Office and Core-Tech Headquarters Management systems in all 496 Wawa, Inc. stores. The privately held chain is based in Wawa, Pa.
John Cunningham, Wawa Store Operations Technology Director, comments, "We are very pleased with the rapid implementation of the Radiant solution to our stores, and the business benefits we are achieving. The dedication of the project and implementation teams, and the relationships with our business partners were the critical factors in meeting our aggressive install schedule." He states, "As we move forward with our other initiatives this implementation will be the cornerstone of making our plans work. The Radiant solution is an integral part of our store operations technology plan, and enables other corporate initiatives, which will enable us to continue our growth while maintaining the Wawa standards for customer service."
At each Wawa store, Radiant Systems' Core-Tech Back Office provides product information to a third party point of sale (POS) for scanning purposes and retrieves individual transaction detail from the POS. Core-Tech Back Office is a site-based system that integrates with the POS to provide real-time reporting and control between the back office and point of sale stations. Core-Tech Back Office links the electronic price book from the Core-Tech Headquarters system to the point of sale. Radiant Systems' Core-Tech Headquarters application is a data management system that provides electronic price book control, site configuration and category management functionality.
Harry McHugh, Wawa VP of Operations, remarks, "The response from the field has been overwhelming. Our store managers have been quick to see the benefits of the Core-Tech Back Office and are eager to use the additional functionality in the software package. Over the next few months we will begin to add these additional tools, like perpetual inventory and computer assisted ordering, which will enable our store managers to get even more from the Radiant Solution. With our initial implementation, we have only scratched the surface of the value we will obtain through this technology."
Paul Langenbahn, Solutions Director for Radiant Systems, replies, "Wawa has laid a foundation for success for the next several years. The completion of their rapid implementation reflects the management commitment and vision of the employees that make Wawa an industry leader."
Radiant Systems, Inc. provides integrated technology solutions to retailers in the petroleum/convenience store, automotive, entertainment, and hospitality industries. These solutions include consumer-activated ordering, point of sale, back office management, headquarters management, and decision support systems. The Company also provides a full range of solution design, implementation, and support services. The Company is headquartered in Atlanta and has installations in thousands of retail sites around the world.

Barsa told the AP that Monroe was poor and desperate for stardom at the time the film was made, but Fortner said that is "inaccurate and inconsistent because she was already discovered and was a well sought-out model."
Barsa Defends That It Is Monroe in the Film
Barsa offered a 1996 letter from Alan Brown, a member of the American Film Institute, which he told the AP confirms that the woman in the film is Monroe. According to the AP, however, the letter reads, "It's not clear whether the woman in the film is Marilyn Monroe -- if not, she's definitely a lookalike."
Bob Gazzale, president and CEO of The American Film Institute, said in a statement that the AFI "does not engage in activities of this nature." He also added in that same statement that "AFI preserves the heritage of the motion picture, honors the artists and their work and educates the next generation of storytellers."
AFI did not respond to ABCNews.com's inquiry specifically regarding Barsa's claim about Alan Brown.
Barsa shared another document with the AP, which he said was a copy of a declassified FBI report claiming Monroe was the woman in the film. The text, which was heavily redacted according to the AP report, refers to information from a third party who claimed Monroe's ex-husband and baseball giant Joe DiMaggio, was offering $25,000 in 1965 for a film that "someone else claimed showed Monroe having sex." The document itself, however, didn't say if the alleged film even existed.
Lois Banner, professor of history and gender studies at the University of Southern California and author of "MM-Personal: From the Private Archive of Marilyn Monroe," said she believes Barsa insists on selling the film just because of the money involved.
"There have been numerous tapes alleging to have caught Marilyn at a particular moment in a particular sexual indiscretion, but I would not accept any such tape without a documented provenance," Banner said. "No one would buy a Miro or a Picasso without such documentation, my understanding is that the person selling the tape has brought none of this forward."
The auction is scheduled for Sunday at 7 p.m. GMT at the Borges Cultural Center in Buenos Aires.

The Give Life Marathon is less than a week away. But, the runners began training two months ago. At 5 a.m., we discover the runners' world
It's 5.30 a.m., and I'm at Marina beach in track pants. It seems like a good time to be supercilious. "Such discipline," I think, as I stroll toward the beach mentally patting myself on the back. "Such virtue."
Then, I bump into Fr. Jegath Gaspar Raj, who's just finished a 21-km run. "You should see the beach at 4.30 a.m., which is when I start," he smiles. "It's really beautiful then." There's a flurry of activity from the left, and Chennai's Mayor M. Subramanian emerges from a car. As it turns out, he's also in track pants. "I generally get up at 4 a.m.," he says. "I go for a walk… do yoga."
Meanwhile, the space in front of the beach begins to buzz with runners of all ages and stages of fitness. They stretch, they walk, they jog… Enviably well-toned sports trainers turn up to supervise the proceedings. And, a banner suddenly appears, advertising free training for anyone who wants to run the upcoming Chennai Marathon. For an intense training arena at the crack of dawn, the atmosphere's astonishingly joyful.
Apparently, my staggering out of bed at 5 a.m. is far from impressive in the world of marathon runners. Especially, this lot. They've been training for almost two months to prepare themselves for the 21-km marathon (which is more accurately a half-marathon), scheduled for August 29, which begins and ends at Anna Square. That's six days of training a week, involving stretching, workouts and running. The marathon's being organised to raise funds for Give Life Charity. But, from the looks of it, the runners are gaining as much from the experience as the children will.
Selvanayagam, who, at the age of 55, can outrun people half his age (he'll certainly leave me gasping in the mud if we have a race!) says he's been running for the last five years. "I just wanted to hit the road. Hit the beach. Be outside," he says, talking of how he also participated in the last two Give Life Marathons. "It makes a big difference working with these trainers," he says, discussing how they have improved his technique and endurance. "They tell you how to maximise the use of your lungs and heart, how to strengthen your knees…"
He also explains how running changes your life. "It gives you tremendous confidence; the mental conditioning to overcome obstacles. After completing 21 km, I feel like I can do anything. I'm no more afraid, no more nervous…" He adds: "Of course, health wise, it's the ultimate medicine. Provided, it's done scientifically."
That's where the trainers come in. Fr. Gaspar, of Tamil Meiyam, one of the organisers of the run, says they drew up a programme that systematically helped runners build muscular endurance. The training was free, and available to anyone who signed up. The city still seems to be intimidated by long distance running, though, for only about 60 people turned up. On the bright side, none of them dropped out, and the number of participants increases every year. Once you try it, you're likely to get hooked.
And, the euphoric runner's high is hard to beat.
"We have people aged between 18 and 60 running the 21-km this year," says Gaspar. "It brings people together. It's inclusive. And, it proves anyone can run." He adds that over the last two years, 8,000 children have been sponsored by the Give Life marathon. "It creates that social space so people get connected. There's lots of corporate support. Last year we fought swine flu, the long weekend and rain — and still ran with 60,000 people. This full week we will be campaigning — 'rain or sun, just come…' We expect many more people this year."
If you haven't been training, he suggests you try the Great Chennai seven-km run. There will also be a wheel-chair run of 500 mt. "Walk, run… take it as a fun experience. You're doing it for the city."
Give Life is a publicly owned and audited charity. It provides holistic educational support to deserving children, providing — besides fees, uniforms and books — everything from a nutritional porridge breakfast to career guidance.
It has extended educational sponsorship support to 14,600 children for the academic year 2008-2009, nearly 8,400 children in June 2009, and hopes to reach out to more than 25,000 children by June 2012. The allocation for one child for one year is Rs. 2.500.
To support the charity, or for details, log onto http://www.givelife.in/ or call, 24994344 / 24990201.
*Stay off your feet as much as possible prior to the race
*Continue to drink fluids up to 15 minutes before the start of the race
*Eat your final snack no more than 30 minutes before you start running
*Pace yourself. Start out slower than what you hope to average, and then run the middle miles at your chosen (hopefully realistic) pace. Finish, rather than start, aggressively.
*Focus on positive thinking. If you've trained properly, nothing will stop you from achieving your goal of finishing the marathon. Nothing, that is, except a lack of confidence and / or a negative attitude at the starting line or during the race.

Or you could multiply the ingredients and make it a meal…but either way, it's delicious. I had leftover stuff from making raw pizza, and this is a good way to put it to use!
some zucchini, peeled and chopped
some pizza sauce
some pizza cheese
Tear up broccoli into little pieces and toss with the little pieces of zucchini. Pour pizza sauce on top, and then pour pizza cheese on top of that. "Buon appetito!"

Like some electronics, this linear motion Pico servo doesn't like running at over 5V. Even slightly less is better. This adapter board adds a bit of voltage drop to a 5/6V system to make your servo happy.
This is truly the Ultimate BrutusBot! It will do robotic front flips through the snow and keep on going! Trust us on this one, we have the YouTube video to prove it. On top of that - save ~$10 (7.5%) over buying the parts individually.
5V is a common voltage but there isn't much out there in terms of a high current 5V source. When you are in need of a 5V supply with immense strength; we strongly ask you to consider this unit.
