The Goddess Hunt(Goddess Test 1.5)
Author: Aimee Carter
Publisher: Harlequin Teen, 2012
Genre: YA Mythology
Buy: Amazon ♥ B&N
A vacation in Greece sounds like the perfect way for Kate Winters to spend her first sabbatical away from the Underworld...until she gets caught up in an immortal feud going back millennia. Castor and Pollux have been on the run from Zeus and Hades's wrath for centuries, hiding from the gods who hunt them. The last person they trust is Kate, the new Queen of the Underworld. Nevertheless, she is determined to help their cause. But when it comes to dealing with immortals, Kate still has a lot to learn....
Kate's vacation in Greece starts off with a hike through a forest in which she and James quickly become lost. Or, are they? James seems to have had his own agenda for the vacation. In the forest they meet Castor and Pollux, the Gemini twins, who have been on the run from the council of gods for millennia. Apparently Kate and James's presence there has attracted too much attention, and soon enough Castor is captured and returned to the Underworld. Typical of Kate, she takes compassion on the brothers and is dead set on lifting their curse. Now all she has to do is change Zeus's mind, and hope that Henry finds it in himself to forgive the twins for escaping the Underworld.
Up until now, Kate has only seen the "good" side of the gods, but now she sees they have a tendency to hold old grudges, taking them way to personal. As a newly appointed immortal, she brings a new set of eyes and ideas, like compassion and forgiveness. I love that she is brave enough to go head to head against Walter/Zeus. And she does it with sass and determination! But Kate also begins to question if she made the right decision in joining the gods. She wonders if she will be forever at odds with the council's decisions and choices. If she will have to watch from the sidelines as lives are destroyed for the sake of the council's rules.
I like that this short story was told in alternating chapters between Kate and Henry. SPOILER
I think that if I'd read this before the second book, I wouldn't have panicked as much by Henry's seemingly indifference towards Kate. Here, he's clearly very much in love with her, and though it pains him to see her with James, he trusts her. I so wanted Kate to catch a glimpse of him! Just a tiny peek!
Seriously, my dear readers, if you haven't picked up The Goddess Test series yet, I strongly suggest you do, because it keeps getting better and better! Remember, Goddess Interrupted comes out March 27th!
Favorite Quotes:
~Sticking it to Zeus~
"Are you really that much of a heartless bastard?" I said. At last Walter stopped and faced me, but before he could say a word, I went on. "You know how badly this is going to hurt Lux. You know it's going to destroy him. You know you're taking away everything he lives for. But you don't even care, do you? You don't even care that you're going to gut your own son."
Walter narrowed his eyes. "Do not dare to speak to me like—"
"Like what? Like you're an asshole? Because you are."
Silence. Walter's face grew stony, while Ava's drained of all color. Beside me, leaves crunched, and James reached for me. "Kate—"
"Don't Kate me."

MASSENA - The Massena Town Council is moving ahead with its plan to put four and a half acres of riverfront property on Old River Road out to bid.
During its Wednesday meeting, the council discussed its options with the property, which include putting it out to bid or waiting for an offer from one of several parties that have expressed interested in the property.
The parcel was previously owned by the New York Power Authority, which deeded it to the town as part of its 2003 relicensing agreement.
The council voted 5-0 at a meeting early this month to put the property out for bid. Town officials have announced they are starting the bidding at $200,000.The town council recently had the property appraised at $330,000, but officials had questioned the accuracy of that estimate.
A group of homeowners with property on the south side of Old River Road have voiced some opposition to the bidding, stating they would like the town to consider their offer first.
Just be fair to the people on Old River Road, said Ed Kaneb Jr., who owns property on the south side of Old River Road. Before you give it up to a realtor or put it up for bid, give us time to formulate an offer.
Supervisor Joseph D. Gray expressed impatience with the interest shown by the homeowners on the south side of Old River Road.
Youve been talking about making an offer to us for over a year. Weve not seen anything, Mr. Gray said. If an offer comes up tomorrow we would have to consider that.
Mr. Kaneb previously suggested that because the Old River Road homeowners supposedly have adjacent property, they should be entitled to make an offer before the town puts it out for bid to any willing buyer.
We have docks down there; weve mowed the grass, Mr. Kaneb previously said. Itd be fair to offer the land to the people who cared for it.
Mr. Gray had responded that Old River Road homeowners do not have adjacent property. They are not adjacent property owners; their land is on the other side of the road, Mr. Gray previously said.
Councilman John Macaulay said he would like the property to go bid because he believes it is fair to give any potential buyer the opportunity to make an offer.
Weve gone with bids in the past after weve had offers (for property) just for fairness, Mr. Macaulay said.
Mr. Gray agreed. I think if we want to sell it we should put it up for bid, he said.
Mr. Macaulay also suggested the town consider hiring a realtor to sell the property.
I for one would am interested in what a realtor could do for us, because of the outreach they provide; their websites go all over the place, Mr. Macaulay said.
Our only charge as a board is to protect the tax-payers and say we want to get a bid thats close to fair-market value, he added.
Council members suggested they might consider opening up bidding next month, but also noted that it may not be a good time to try to sell the property.

"Big on Texas" (c2009) is 55' wide x 70' long. Original design. I used hand dyes, batiks and commercial 100% cottons. The background was pieced and the boot was fused using wonder under. It is extensively quilted all over. I used hand stitching to secure the city names going around the perimeter.
"Big on Texas" will be part of the Texas Museum of Fiber Art exhibit, Memorial Day weekend 2009 in Austin, Tx
Thank you so much for putting the size on your quilt. Makes me miss Texas. I worked in San Marcos and lived in San Antonio and Converse for 8 years total. Reminds me of the big boots at the shopping center on the highway in San Antonio. I knew it was Texas the moment I saw the thumbnail of your quilt. Thank you for sharing.
Is the Kerrville arts festival still on Memorial weekend too? We left in 1989 so I am sure much has changed.
My son lives in Texas, so this caught my eye. Can you explain more about how you did the city names around the border? Thanks. ckart

Sonoma - Napa News
Two new Sonoma exhibits showcase beauty from unconventional sources18 Mar 2013 11:52 AM
The old saying that "one man's trash is another man's treasure" is being applied to the fashion world in an exciting new show at the Sonoma Community Center. In an effort to combine haute fashion and environmentalism, a group of the region's most talented designers have been collecting discarded materials and turning them into unique outfits and accessories.
Like the materials themselves, the upcoming show is not new. March marks the commencement of the third annual Trashion Fashion season, and award-winning designs from the two previous seasons will be on display throughout March and April. Running the gamut from lowbrow to highbrow, these designs include gowns, bags, jewelry and shirts made with everything from discarded Venetian blinds to empty shotgun shells.
Although many of the designers also work with traditional materials, a great number of them have found that working with cast-off items allows them to more fully unleash their creativity and embrace a different side of fashion.
"I love designing whimsical, fanciful things so this was right up my alley," Mikaela Holmes, one of last year's participants, told Sonoma News. "I like working with weird material so I thought it would be fun."
As the new Trashion Fashion season kicks off, guests will be able to visit the Sonoma Community Center and explore some of the highlights from last year's shows, which includes some of Holmes' pieces - made with elements such as LED lights and chicken wire.
The upcoming Trashion show isn't the only way for owners of Wine Country real estate to get a new perspective on how jettisoned materials can be turned into something beautiful. Serendipitously, the exhibit coincides with another exhibit showcasing art made from recycled materials. The ARTS Guild's Repo Show, which runs at the Arts Guild of Sonoma through March 23, features eco-friendly art made from natural and discarded elements.

Nigerians like show off, but hardly care about the real substance. A lot of noise can be made to declare an intention with little or no strategy for effective delivery of value.
Government MDAs are huge culprits here. Parties can be organised to celebrate the announcement of a project, after the eating and drinking no one may show enough care to ensure the project is effective. Several empowerment initiatives are announced, especially technical training and entrepreneurial empowerment programmes, with beneficiaries in their thousands. But hardly do you see anyone display enough care whether the empowered thousands turn their skills into profitable businesses. It is amazing the amount of money that is pumped every now and again into ineffective and wasted initiatives.
If some individuals and institutions have designed their projects to fail, your own initiative should not end up as a failed business. It is not enough that you know the business you want to do and that you have the needed technical, managerial, personal characteristics and skills needed to make a success of the business, very important is the availability of fund needed as capital for the new business.
If it is an existing business that is undergoing reengineering, the fund required to reposition the business is also key to the success of the exercise. The cash is either available in your bank account or you clearly identify what other ways the business can be funded. What I have set for myself as goal on this page is to stimulate your mind and help your direction of thinking.
We established it in part one of this article that you need to identify the equipment (tangible or fixed assets) your business needs. While some of the equipment may not be needed immediately, you cannot afford to suspend the acquisition of the ones that are fundamental to proper roll-out of the business.
Despite the capital investment however, a well-equipped business can run into a brick-wall and become stranded! If you get the best equipment for the business but there is no cash to carry out the day-to-day operation, the business will be trapped. You need sufficient raw materials for production or you have to stock up enough quantities of what you want to sell. There are expenses to pay or repairs to carry out. You have regular recurrent bills to pay. It should be fresh in your mind that it is not the day the business opens its door for operation that it will begin to make enough money to cover its operational expenses.
Also if you have to sell or render services on credit, you need more money to keep yourself in business during the period your money is unpaid by clients. Should a business opportunity just show up, say, you suddenly stumble on very cheap materials or a sudden request to handle a supply but you don't have cash to execute such unexpected business, it can be painful! It doesn't end there, you need to promote the business as well to get many individuals and organisations to know that you are in business.
The amount you need as working capital will be determined by the nature of business you do, the volume of business you handle and what your business cycle is. One thing you need to bear in mind always is that on no occasion should your business be cash-strapped. It is often advised that the working capital you need to provide should cover up to six months' expenses.
However, the nature of your business will really determine the amount of cash you need to operate the business effectively. If your business has longer gestation period of, say, over two years, it will be foolish not to have a good funding strategy to finance the operations throughout the period of waiting before income from sales can cover expenses.
Now, if you don't have the needed cash for initial business investment, what options are available to you? Where you need to construct your operation facility, you may consider lease or rent, or you start your business at home. You may buy some of the equipment while you lease some.
Equipment leasing is a sure strategy to overcome the challenge of capital to start a business with. It is an inexpensive way to get your business running; but if you lease or rent any equipment, you should be conscious of the price of the equipment and how long the lease should be so that you don't end up throwing money away. Another option close to this is to get an equipment seller to sell to you on credit or by making part payment with the balance spread over a period.
The working capital challenge may be tackled through credit supply of materials or stocks. A good relationship with manufacturers, distributors and other service providers can open windows of credit lines that will help a great deal in solving the working capital challenge.

Falling Waters
The Falling Waters Trail in Franconia Notch State Park is home to a delightful collection of New Hampshire-Blend Water and Falls. The incredible variety of water features along this trail simply adds to its popularity. Waterfall enthusiasts and landscape photographers have quite a bit of incentive to discover this area, as the Dry Brook and the results of her labor are nothing short of spectacular. All of the significant water features along this trail are reached within a moderate 1-1.5 hour hike.
Take care to not forgo normal preparations; bring your water, food, first aid, and all the essentials. Along the way there are several rocky areas, two river crossings, and other challenges to be met. Do tread carefully, for your own safety and for the overall good of this incredible trail.
If you happen to be hiking off the Franconia Ridge on a hot summer day, descending along this trail offers an ultimate reprieve (almost better than a cold beverage)!
Here are five photos of the landscape and the waterfalls. But don't just take my word for it. Get out there and check it out, because you are guaranteed to love discovering them yourself.
Some of these photos may reappear in my blog very soon, as Tropical Storm Irene's deluge is bound to tempt me to make a return trip….
…until then, be well, hunker down, and do take care!

If you've had a chance to walk around the revamped sixth floor at the Garden, you may have noticed a wall display featuring John Starks' old pregame warmups. They are the same ones from the night he threw down the famous "The Dunk" in Game 2 of the 1993 Eastern Conference finals against the Bulls.
The exhibit, one of the arena's 10 "Defining Moments," pays homage to Starks' personal career highlight. He hadn't seen it until Friday before the Mavericks game, when he gave ESPNNewYork.com his first impressions and reflections on the play.
Here's the conversation:
So what do you think?
"It's amazing to be a part of such the famous arena, the best all-time in my book, and to be able to be immortalized here in the hallways is just amazing."

Product Details
Chevy Silverado 2008, Sport Polished Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System by dB®, with 4" Slash Cut Polished Tip. The dB exhaust systems are unique in their combination of an aggressive, growling exterior sound and absence of irritating interior drone. If you want performance sound combined with comfortable touring, dB exhaust systems are for you. The mirror polish stainless steel finish makes your truck look as good as it sounds.
- Engineered Specifically for Each Application
- Sound Tuned to Character of Vehicle
- Straight-Through Design Mufflers
- Nonrestrictive Design Maximizes Airflow
- No Interior Drone at Cruising Speeds
- Patented RSC™ Technology
- CORSA Sound With Easy Bolt-On Installation
- All Components (Including Clamps and Hangers) Made of the Finest 304 Stainless Steel
- Mirror Shine Polished Finish
- No Welding Needed
- All Hardware and Detailed Full-Color Installation Instructions Included
- Stainless Steel or Polished Exhaust Tip Included for Most Applications
- 50 States Legal
- Designed, engineered and manufactured in Berea, Ohio

Aftermarket performance exhausts systems are about sound. Buy a dB bolt-on stainless steel exhaust system and you can enjoy the powerful performance truck rumble in just a couple of hours. The systems are easy to install. They require no welding, and you can choose to install them yourself so you don't have to wait for a professional to get time to install them unless you choose to.
For true truck enthusiasts it is just as important that the truck sounds right, as it is that it looks right. dB Performance Exhausts are painstakingly styled to deliver the right rugged growl for each individual application, while eliminating the irritating drone that makes many other performance exhaust systems so tiring in the long run. With a dB performance exhaust system you can cruise down the highway in comfort, but still get the deep truck growl when accelerating and at idle. The patented non-restrictive straight-through design reduces the backpressure in the exhaust system and frees up the gas flow from the engine and improving the exhaust scavenging. This makes for a more oxygen rich air/fuel mixture in the combustion chambers, which makes the engine produce additional torque and power. You can roll a pool ball from one end of a dB system and right out the tip if you want to prove how unrestricted the passage through a dB system is. The extra power is proof that your engine functions more efficiently, which also translates into better fuel economy. Installation of a dB exhaust system not only provides great sound and great looks, it is a true improvement for your truck. The dB exhausts connect behind the catalytic converter. Thus they do not affect your factory warranties and are legal in all the 50 states.638.61 808.90

Palace: Aquino's yellow ribbon call not serious-A A +A
Thursday, July 17, 2014
PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino III's call for the people to wear yellow ribbon as expression of support to his administration should not be taken too seriously, a Palace official said Thursday.
Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. made the statement as some quarters instead called the people to wear peach ribbon as a campaign to impeach the President after the Supreme Court (SC) declared parts of the administration's Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) as unconstitutional.
There were those who asked the public to wear black ribbon.
Aquino asked the people to wear yellow ribbon after a businessman asked him during "Daylight Dialogue: The Good Governance Challenge" in Malacañang last Tuesday on what the President exactly wanted from the public to help his government to continue reforms and to sustain economic gains amid SC's ruling on DAP.
"Wala naman talaga 'yon. It was just a light moment in the entire dialogue, ano. Kaya I don't think mayroong project doon na, 'sige, simula ngayon bilangin natin kung mas marami 'yung dilaw o mas marami 'yung peach,' ano," he said.
He said that the President did not want to start any color competition.
"We can take (call) it seriously, but not too seriously," Coloma said.
Meanwhile, an image of a flag ribbon is circulating online as a symbol of pledge to the nation.
Former Commission on Elections (Comelec) Commissioner Gregorio Larrazabal used the ribbon as his Twitter profile.
No more red, yellow, peach, blue, orange or whatever colour.. People should stop focusing on partisan politics.. pic.twitter.com/UF2ouW4khW
— Gregorio Larrazabal (@GoyYLarrazabal) July 17, 2014
"No more red, yellow, peach, blue, orange or whatever colour..People should stop focusing on partisan politics..," Larrazabal said.
During the Daylight Dialogue, Aquino said he wanted to know if his administration still enjoys the support of the people and one way of doing this was to come up with a "manifestation of support."
"We'll come up with, perhaps, a manifestation of the support—if I still have the support of our people—and concrete examples of these, perhaps wearing our yellow ribbons, amongst other things, just to demonstrate exactly in a quick manner where the sentiments of our people lie," he said during the dialogue.
"But we will be posting a more detailed list of requests to our bosses in the coming days," he added.
Court employees, however, will be in fighting mode on July 21 (Monday) in response to Aquino's alleged veiled attacks to the Constitution and the judiciary over the DAP issue.
Supreme Court Employees Association (SCEA) president Jojo Guerrero said they will hold a rally after the flag-raising ceremony at the High Court wearing black and red shirts.
Aquino refused to accept the adverse ruling on DAP. In a televised address on Monday, the President said he found the decision unsettling and should be revisited. He also warned of a clash between the executive and judicial department on the issue.
His allies in the House of Representatives, meanwhile, are pushing for the abolition of Presidential Decree 1949 that created the Judiciary Development Fund (JDF), citing allegations of lack of transparency in the use of funds taken from docket fees.
Some lawmakers tag the JDF as the pork barrel of the judiciary.
"Kailan kami nagkaroon ng pork? Di nga kami nakakatikim ng bacon. Naloloko ba sila? Di nga kami nakakatikim kahit paa ng manok. Di naman pork itong binibigay sa amin ng JDF," said Guerrero.
Eighty percent of the fund is released monthly to justices, judges and employees as cost of living allowance while the remaining 20 percent is intended for office equipment and court facilities.
The JDF has a balance of P1.38 billion as of March this year, according to the SC.(SDR/Virgil Lopez/Sunnex)

Children are wonderful. They are so special and full of possibilities. Our family structure in this country is weak and need serious reinforcement. The family is the cornerstone of society. Our beautiful children are exposed to too much in our society. This dysfunction in our society has taken away our children's innocent and has robbed them of their normal curiosiy.
I really believe that we can turn our failing educational system around in a metter of a few years by focusing on the primary grades, pre-kindergarten through the third grade. Start early in making education relevant by makeing sure children masters the basic fundalmentals in reading, math, science and writing. Our children should be bi-lingual. They will learn a foreign language fast in the primary grades. Children should not watch television period. There is nothing on T.V. for real mental growth for children or adults. GOD bless our children and may GOD continue to bless America and the world. GOD please remove evil,in all its forms, from our planet. We need peace.

Reforming education in my state, long misadministered by Democrats, looks like 62 students in a high school class after closing one in two schools. Until recently, school board members were supplied with new cars at municipal expense, however. Graduation rates have struggled to exceed 25%. If Democrat policies have failed under Democrat control, are you sure more will be better? The legacy of Coleman Young and Kwame Kilpatrick constitute the inheritance of Detroit's students, God help them.January 18 2011 at 7:40 PM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down Reply
Ladies and Gentlemen,
You need to stop blaming the schools. You need to start with the parent(s). Students spend more time online than reading a book. Understand that many of the schools that are failing are outstanding in dealing with the daily struggle of students.
Schools and districts are losing a battle because of official making choices that do not give credit to teachers, students or schools.
In the state of Michigan,an ESL students are required by law to take the ACT. The students either have limited English or have been in American for less than two years. These scores bring down the school scores.
Education is cultural. Stop comparing our students to Asians, the Asian culture has a high respect for education whereas many of our students DO NOT!
Each school is different and learning takes place at home first not in the classroom.
Millions of dollars have been spent on low performing schools with little or no improvement. It is time to find another way than other increasing taxes with no results. Cannot imagine that Obama has the stomach to take on teachers' unions - he needs their votes. We need school choice/vouchers along with private management! Once government is out of the way along with their mandates, our schools will be successful again!January 18 2011 at 5:24 PM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down Reply
Dear vobox, please be advised. your children are "not" banned from praying in school. contrary to what u hear in media. It is the teacher and other employees of the state that are banned. If you child prays with fellow students in the lunch room, for example, to give thanks, the school has no right to stop it. As long as your child is not disrupting the classroom, he or she may pray at will. I wish sombody's kid wuld test that out. I would tell my kids to do it, but they are all over 24 years old, and have no kids of their own in school yet. But the prayer thing makes a great wedge isue, dosnt it?January 18 2011 at 4:32 PM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down Reply

Race and the Left
4 comments:
Dave von Ebers:ReplyDelete
It is good to read your cogent, perspicacious and well written arguments on these here pages, again, too, also.
Yes, racism is alive and well everywhere I go. And, no, it's not limited to the KKKnuckledraggers of the ReiKKKwing. I do think that both Carter and Clinton were attacked incessantly while in office but THEIR race was not at issue--it for fuckin'damnsure is with Mr. Obama.
And you're right about there being liberals (and progressives) who are racists--lots of them. Racism as a default is not however a defining characteristic of the left but it sure is a good descripton for a lot of the rightwing morons.
I agree with you on several points: that some people on the left are racists (and don't want to admit it); that President Obama is taking more flack from some people, purely on the basis of his race, than similarly situated Democratic presidents have before. Bill Clinton took a LOT of flack, not because of his race but because of his class (and his skirt-chasing).ReplyDelete
I know there is racism on the left because I've spent the last 40 years or so fighting my own racism, the racism I got from my Missouri born father, and the fact that I grew up in a segregated California town (Napa) and didn't associate regularly with black kids until I was about 11 and joined the Vallejo Junior Symphony. What you don't know, you fear, as a rule; that's how the human race seems to work. Then while I was at Cal, here came the Black Panthers (while I was in grad school), which didn't exactly give me warm fuzzies about black people. I try very hard now to judge every man, regardless of race, on what he does.
I'm generally pleased with President Obama, although I don't agree with everything he does; but he's an intelligent, thoughtful man who is putting a tremendous amount of effort into one of the most important jobs in the world. I'm really annoyed with the lefties who reject him because he hasn't put enough effort into "their" cause (yes, I mean you, immigration people, and until very recently, gays). What do they think the alternative will be if he isn't re-elected??
The biggest problem with race in this country is that we don't talk about it except with people who are the same color we are. And that goes for all races.
It's more convenient to pretend that racism is itself stereotypical than admit the subtle code of class and color is universal. You don't need a Southern accent to be racist. You can have an Ivy League degree and be racist. You can be an avowed liberal or progressive and be racist -- because racism is a universal phenomenon. We all *do* profiling in our minds because that's how our brains work.ReplyDelete
Matt Osborne:ReplyDelete
I do think that we humanimals are hardwired to distrust, dislike, attack the OTHER. We are NOT that far removed from the troops of chimps. OTOH, we are--on paper, at least--the putative reasoning species.
Racism or just Otherism is at least a vestigial trait. The difference is that we CAN apply logic and generational wisdom to problems like racism and, one hopes, arrive at a better model. Given the overt/covert uses of "dog whistles" by racists and the fact that many children are still inculcated with the idea that they are superior by reason of their skin's pigmentation does not help to arrive at that more highly evolved place of acceptance.

Network/Internet Bandwidth FAQ
Below you will find some common questions pertaining to network and Internet bandwidth:
What is "Bandwidth"?
What do upload and download mean?
Why does Hartwick limit network resources?
How can I reduce my bandwidth consumption?
Everyone copies music and movies. Why should I be concerned?
Why doesn't the Technology Resource Center back up MP3's and movies on student computers?
Q. What is bandwidth?
A: Bandwidth is the size and speed of the "pipe" that connects your computer to a network and the Internet. This "pipe" transports data back and forth between your computer and the Internet. You use bandwidth to view Web pages and to send data out from your computer (upload) or receive data into your computer (download).
There are limitations to how much data can be exchanged, depending on how much bandwidth is available.
Q: What do upload and download mean?
A: Upload is the process of sending data from your computer to another computer. It can be sent to another computer on campus or over the Internet to another computer.
Download is the process of receiving data sent to your computer from another computer. It can be sent from a computer on campus or from another computer over the Internet.
Currently we monitor the total upload and download traffic for each computer on our network. The monitoring software ranks the computers on a Top Talkers list, based on their bandwidth usage. If you consistently overuse bandwidth, you could lose your network access.
We also monitor the type of traffic going out over our Internet connection, which allows us to raise the priority of some data packets (e.g., the Library) and lower the priority of others (e.g., P2P file sharing programs such as Limewire, Kazaa, eDonkey and others).
Normal Internet use such as Web browsing, e-mail, etc., generates a very small amount of outbound traffic. Computers that are acting as servers and running Web cams, FTP (file transfer protocol), P2P file-sharing programs (Kazaa, Limewire, Morpheus, Imesh, Audiogalaxy, WinMX, Gnutella, Ares, and others), and various game servers can generate a significant amount of data traffic, since others are accessing files on your computer and transferring them via the network and Internet.
Q: Why does Hartwick limit network resources?
A: Restrictions have been implemented because of the enormous bandwidth consumption, caused by the use of music- and video-sharing programs (P2P programs). The demand for bandwidth has grown exponentially--so much that it can become impossible to get e-mail or do academic work over the campus network. Hartwick tries to strike a balance between pursuit of academic goals using the network versus recreational use. The following table provides some perspective on the size of files being sent over our network and Internet connection:
Size by File Type (K=1000 Bytes)
|File Type (Average)
|Average Size in Bytes
|Single Page Text email
|1 Page Text Excel Spreadsheet
|20 Page Text Word Document
|Medium Resolution Photo - JPEG
|MP3 Music File ~ 5 Minutes Long
|Video Clip ~ 60 Seconds
|Internet Explorer Software Install - Full
|Movie - DIVx format - 2hrs/1 file
|Full Length DVD Movie - 2hrs
As you can see, it does not take long for even a robust network like Hartwick's to become inundated with music and video files when P2P file sharing programs are used.
Q: How can I reduce my bandwidth consumption?
A: The biggest users of bandwidth have proven to be audio- and video-sharing programs. Programs like Limewire, Morpheus, Kazaa, Gnutella, Audiogalaxy and Ares, to name a few, place a large load on the network. We also suggest that you limit the use of Web cams and Web phones. Other things you can do:
- Disable all music sharing and shut down file shares. By default, most music programs allow unlimited users to connect to your computer to copy your music, off campus and on campus. Every file they copy from or through your computer uses bandwidth, slows your computer down, and affects the overall quality of the network service for everyone. There is often more than one place to disable sharing features. Some music- and video-sharing programs do not allow you to disable the "super node" type of feature. The only solution in this case is to uninstall that program so that it does not continue to use lots of bandwidth without your knowledge.
- Turn off the "super node" capability in Kazaa. Go to the options of the program and click where it says "Do not function as a super node". The new Morpheus uses the same engine as Gnutella, Bearshare and Limewire. These programs do not allow you to turn off the super node feature and will consume a disproportionate amount of bandwidth while your computer is on the network. Even when you close the application, the program is still available to others on the network until you turn off that feature. If you see the program's icon in the bottom right hand corner, right-click on it and turn it off.
- Turn off your computer when you are not in the room and when you are sleeping. Remember, you are responsible for all traffic that goes in and out of your computer. Before loading programs on your computer, ask the Technology Resource Center whether that program creates bandwidth problems and how you can configure it properly.
- Choose not to send files through AOL Instant Messenger. Any file you send through AOL IM uses Internet bandwidth, even if you are sending a file to your roommate or a person down the hall.
- Make sure your computer is not infected by a virus that allows others to remotely access your computer without your knowledge. Viruses also e-mail themselves to others, using additional bandwidth. All Hartwick-issued computers are provided with Symantec Anti-virus as part of the Hartwick software configuration. If you have questions or problems with your anti-virus software, please contact the Technology Resource Center at x4357. Also, all personal computers which use or attach to the Hartwick network must have up-to-date virus protection.
- Do not run any type of Web Server (e.g., Microsoft's Internet Information Service/Personal Web Server) or FTP server, which would allow other people to download files from your computer.
- Use the Hartwick e-mail servers to send and receive your email. Popular programs like AOL, Hotmail and Yahoo all require you to communicate over the Internet to use their mail services, which use bandwidth. AOL, Hotmail, and Yahoo users should forward their e-mail (if possible) to their Hartwick email account and avoid using bandwidth unnecessarily.
- If you listen to streaming radio stations or watch streaming video over the Internet, it will adversely affect the network for everyone. Also, using a Web cam, video phone, or online phone service adds more to the bandwidth strain. Gaming software also increases bandwidth use, and these packages tend to be "chatty" on the network.
Q: Everyone copies music and movies. Why should I be concerned? What happens if I get caught having or possessing illegal copies of movies or music on my computer?
A: There are federal and state laws that prohibit uploading and downloading of copyrighted music and especially movies. It is, after all, stealing! It is also against College policy to transfer copyrighted material over the Hartwick network without the express written permission of the material's owners. Students risk not only fines and jail time if they are caught with illegal materials, but the College may also apply academic sanctions.

Q: Why doesn't the Technology Resource Center back up music, video and game files before working on notebooks or desktops?
A: Before starting work, the Technology Resource Center will try to do a courtesy backup of your important academic or work files found in My Documents. However, depending on the problem, a usable backup may not be possible, which is why users are strongly encouraged to have a regular backup plan before disaster strikes. If a student provides a written statement from his/her professor that the music and/or video files are needed for a class, then Technology Resources will back up the needed files.
