7th Engineer Battalion inducts 25 Soldiers into NCO Corps in Afghanistan
June 14, 2012
By Sgt. 1st Class Juan Delgado
LOGAR PROVINCE, Afghanistan -- Twenty-five noncommissioned officers assigned to 7th Engineer Battalion, 10th Mountain Division (LI), recently were inducted into the NCO Corps at Forward Operating Base Shank, Afghanistan.
The induction ceremony is a celebration of the newly promoted joining the ranks of a professional NCO Corps and emphasizes and builds on the pride its members share. The ceremony also honors the memory of those men and women of the NCO Corps who have served with pride and distinction.
"I think it is important for our newly promoted NCOs to be able to know that they are the backbone of the Army, and that they are the ones responsible for ensuring the missions get executed," said Command Sgt. Maj. David Morgan, senior enlisted adviser for 7th Engineer Battalion. "It took a lot of effort from many folks in order to make this ceremony possible, from all the first sergeants down to the youngest Soldier in our ranks."
Guest speaker for the ceremony was Command Sgt. Maj. Jose Castillo, senior enlisted adviser for 10th Sustainment Brigade.
"It is always nice to come and talk to Soldiers of the 7th Engineer Battalion," Castillo said.
During his speech, Castillo talked about the history of the corps and about the NCO creed.
"The NCO creed is not a paper to just recite and read, but it needs to be your measuring stick on how one grades oneself," he said.
During his speech, Castillo expressed the passion he has for the profession he has served for the last 28 years.
"I want to let you know that you are an officer in the United States Army, but a noncommissioned officer, so Soldiers are required to follow your orders. Sergeants and staff sergeants are the ones who get all the missions executed," he said.
The newest Soldiers in the Army also had a part in the ceremony with the Soldier request.
"I was inspired by the ceremony itself," said Spc. Lacey Zimmerman, systems support specialist with Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 7th Engineer Battalion. "I look forward to also participating in a ceremony like this and being inducted into … the NCO (Corps) one day."

I ordered my 13" retina Sunday night and got it today. It has a Samsung SSD. Also, the 768GB SSDs are all Samsung, even for the 15".

pull up about this mac- more info- system report- storage
If your HD says Apple SSD SD**** it is a Sandisk is it says SM I beleive that it is a Samsung drive
For the LED panel pull up terminal and enter in the following:
ioreg -lw0 | grep \"EDID\" | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6
Under the first line which reads "Color LCD" you should see somthing like this:
Color LCD
Which denotes a Samsung display if it says LP instead it is an LG panel
Hope that helps

"Also, the 768GB SSDs are all Samsung, even for the 15".
So is that the final resolution? Go with the 768 GB SSDs?
myMartek Mar 14, 2013 12:09 AM
in response to nonchalance
Yes, that is most likely the case. No customer in this board has reported that he has a SanDisk 768GB SSD. They probably do not produce such SSDs. But: Maybe you would be an early adopter of a SanDisk SSD if you buy a new device today. Nobody can guarantee that Apple won't use SanDisk 768SSDs in future.
Beside that: Its not a real solution to buy that expensive SSD if you do not need the space, just to avoid a problem with the smaller ones.

I just bought my 15 inch macbook pro retina on Tuesday.
It's a Samsung display!!
but it's also a Sandisk...
So far no fan issues whatsoever though...hopefully it stays that way.

Adding my two cents.
New 2013 15" retina Macbook Pro. 2.7 16GB 512 APPLE SSD SD512E
Had it for almost a week with the fans going crazy (intermittently, mind you).
Took it to Applestore Doncaster (Melbourne).
They confirmed the problem - it was pretty easy to replicate instore
They told me it needed to be sent away for repair.
I've only had it for 6 days! So i politely declined that suggestion.
After speaking to the manager, I got a refund.
Walked across to Myer and brought a brand new macbook pro. Same specs for $300 discount.
Fingers crossed to see how this next week goes...
vinodhM Mar 14, 2013 12:37 AM
in response to kiwikid32
Have the fan issues happened immediately for most people (within a few hours of first using the laptop), or have they only started occurring after several days/weeks?
TheKIV Mar 14, 2013 12:43 AM
in response to vinodhM
I have my rMBR 15 (Sandisk) a few months and this happens each day.
kiwikid32 Mar 14, 2013 12:46 AM
in response to vinodhM
My fans started a few hours after I started using the mac.
Sometimes with apps open, sometimes with just the Finder open...
-ailand- Mar 14, 2013 1:00 AM
in response to jamezmbp
I went to the Apple Store and they kept the MBPR for do some specifics test.
They have done same test and all have been passed.
Apparently the "genius" didn't know about this fans issue.
I will let you know if I have some news.
myMartek Mar 14, 2013 1:17 AM
in response to vinodhM
It's quite unlikely that you are not affected of this error.
Please send us your firmware version of your SSD. You get it here:
Click on Apple icon -> about this mac -> more info -> hardware / serial ata -> select the disk
Its listed under Revision. Mine says 1021AP.
petvas Mar 14, 2013 1:22 AM
in response to myMartek
I got my rMBR yesterday. It has a Samsung display and a 512GB Sandisk SSD, revision 1027AP.
I do not have any issues at all. This is a perfect laptop in every way.
myMartek Mar 14, 2013 1:31 AM
in response to petvas
Thats very interesting. I really suspect the SSD Firmware to be the source of the error.
Since yours is newer that might be the reason why you are not affected.
Could you try to download the song from this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21434622#21434622
Import it to iTunes and then restart your Mac. After restart don't open any program except iTunes and play the file.
Can you confirm that your fans do not get crazy during the full playback of this song?
TheKIV Mar 14, 2013 1:32 AM
in response to petvas
Did you try to force reproduce the problem using the "song"? https://discussions.apple.com/message/21422172#21422172
P.S. Mine revision is 1021AP.

You're going to hear a lot today about our strategy at KFN. You're going to hear a lot today about our strategy at KFN, you are going to hear about the results and the businesses that we're in, but before you do let me just gave you a couple of reasons why I think that KFN is so important to KKR. First without a doubt, KFN is the public face to KKR and so many of the strategies across our firm, particularly everything that we do is touched on and plays an important role at KFN.It's a flagship of our capabilities and bank loans high yield, mezzanine special situations, natural resources and commercial real estate and you're going to hear from all the people that are part of KFN and part of KKR that cover these areas you'll hear about those today. And the one thing I also want you not to forget. If you have any doubts about how important it is to George Roberts and to myself and KFN, our name is on the door. And we put our name on the KFN door just as we have it on the KKR door for a reason and that's because we believe in it and we believe that this has an incredible future and a real opportunity to grow and to take advantage of the number of the dislocations in markets.

posted at 6/10/2010 8:56 AM EDTNothing too exciting here, but DH is taking a week off in July to catch up on projects and just enjoy each other's company here at home. DH prefers home to everywhere else on earth. And, of course, there's her to think about. :)
Re: OT- vacations
posted at 6/10/2010 9:38 AM EDTThis is going to be the summer of awesome!We had friends visit a couple weeks ago, my parents are coming into town next weekend, we're visiting college friends in upstate NY another weekend, getting puppies, and going to a friend's wedding in September. Our first anniversary is also at the end of July, so maybe we'll do something for that too.

Posted by framerican51008Good memory, Fram. I need an excel file to keep everyone straight on here.My idiot cousin is coming on Monday to pick up the dogs. He was going to sue us, and then there was a lot of family pressure. My grandpa's upset that we're fighting, so we decided that even though my cousin is wrong and a baboon, that the best thing to do is give them back, otherwise this will never end.DH has been absolutely incredible about the whole thing. My cousin chose Monday (instead of a weekend) probably because he's an asshat, and DH insisted that he go alone so I don't have to see my cousin or say goodbye to the dogs in front of him. DH has also been really good the past few nights when I hug the dogs and start crying. Ugh. I hope my cousin gets lupus.We're trying to focus on the new puppies--we are getting two pug puppies from a nearby breeder. One is almost 4 weeks old, so we get to visit him soon! The other will be born around July 17. I'm trying to persuade DH to name them Yoda and Nugget. He just might let me.
Re: OT- vacations
posted at 6/10/2010 3:05 PM EDTI thought you were going to name them Captain and Tenille?
Hall & Oates?
Lucy and AwesomeGuy?
Fred & Barney?
Neil and Patrick (you must, obviously, change your last name to Harris)
I think I need to start sleeping more at night.
Re: OT- vacations
posted at 6/10/2010 3:35 PM EDTWow, WPP - thanks for the update, but I'm so sorry for all of the trauma. I can't BELIEVE he was going to SUE you!! For something HE wanted to do in the first place!!! Can you even sue for that??
I'm very excited for you about the two new puppies - I cannot wait to move to a larger place so we can get a dog. There is just no happiness like that of a dog greeting you when you get home (or come in from another room in the house... or walk by...) And I love the names!
Re: OT- vacations
posted at 6/10/2010 5:01 PM EDTWPP- that stinks! What a jerk your cousin is! People like that need a reality check and a swift kick to throat.
But it sounds like your DH has been awesome about it, so at least you have that. And I think new puppies make just about everything better!
and I vote for Starsky & Hutch or Harold & Maude for names ;)
bet seriously, any dog named Yoda is automatically the coolest dog ever.
I dream of the day I can have three dogs so I can name them Dorothy Blanche and Rose.
Re: OT- vacations
posted at 6/10/2010 5:19 PM EDTUggg sorry to hear that update WPP!! I echo everyone else's way funnier posts when I say your cousin s*cks. Kudos to you for being a bigger person and putting an end to the family drama. I know you will adore the new pups! Nugget is an adorable name. I want a girl kitty I can name Ruby, but I'm convinced that we got way too lucky with our cat and the next one will tear the s**t out of our furniture.
Re: OT- vacations
posted at 6/10/2010 5:19 PM EDTThanks, everyone. He was always so normal too! And now both he and his sister are freaking out (his sister decided that he's in the right because, according to her, you're not really a dog owner unless you have pet insurance...which he never had in the first place). Whatever.The new puppies will be a lot of fun, though. And you guys have some good name suggestions! Pink, DH has been trying to get me to watch Harold and Maude, but he described it as, "The most awkward, uncomfortable experience of your life," so I said, "Why would I want that?"
Re: OT- vacations
posted at 6/10/2010 10:09 PM EDTWPP - Harold and Maude is awesome. I have it on DVD. But, it is a little uncomfortable.
Re: OT- vacations

We cannot wait. Our first anniversary just passed, and we have no vacation plans. We were a little bummed out, since this time last year we were on our honeymoon in Mexico!
So, we got some friends together and are doing an AI resort for a week! We cannot afford it, but we said screw it. We have five months to pay it off!
WPP - I am so sorry about your puppies. We have a much-loved dog, and I couldnt imagine giving him up. It sounds like you had absolutely no choice, thanks to your jerkface cousin.
Just keep looking forward to the new puppies!
Re: OT- vacations
posted at 6/22/2010 11:55 AM EDTBeagles - that sounds like so much fun!! I wish we could get our friends together for a vacation. There is always someone in the midst of planning a wedding or something, so the timing hasn't worked out. And now we're starting with the babies, so I don't see a group vaca in the near future! Actually, we might go camping with some friends next weekend. That almost counts.
WPP, when are you getting the puppies?

Island (Paperback)
Staff Reviews
"If anthropologists study unknown cloistered societies to find unexpected
enlightenment or perfection, Aldous Huxley mapped the fantasy of such a
world for them. One of his later works, Island houses much more
appreciation for moment-by-moment experience, still with a healthy dose
of political irony. It's the greatest classic nobody told you about."
In his final novel, which he considered his most important, Aldous Huxley transports us to the remote Pacific island of Pala, where an ideal society has flourished for 120 years.
Inevitably, this island of bliss attracts the envy and enmity of the surrounding world. A conspiracy is underway to take over Pala, and events are set in motion when an agent of the conspirators, a newspaperman named Faranby, is shipwrecked there. What Faranby doesn't expect is how his time with the people of Pala will revolutionize all his values and to his amazement give him hope.
About the Author
ALDOUS HUXLEY (18941963) was an English writer who spent the latter part of his life in the United States. Though best known for Brave New World, he also wrote countless works of fiction, non-fiction, poetry and essays. A humanist, pacifist and satirist, he wrote novels and other works that functioned as critiques of social norms and ideals. Aldous Huxley is often considered a leader of modern thought and one of the most important literary and philosophical voices of the 20th century.

The witnesses spoke about California's Maximum Family Grant rule for families on welfare. The rule caps grants and does not increase grant money to mothers on welfare when they have more children. Mary testified about the causes of poverty and of the need for other, non-government options for poor families. She introduced ideas for helping the poor through private resources and organizations, instead of government agencies where families and women often find themselves trapped in a cycle of poverty.

He is a co-founder and partner at Founders Fund, a venture capital firm that has funded companies like SpaceX and Airbnb. And in 2012 he co-founded Mithril Capital Management, an international technology investment fund.

Additional Information
About EarthSpark InternationalEarthSpark International is a nonprofit organization dedicated to eradicating energy poverty in Haiti by expanding access to clean and efficient energy products and services for lower-income, underserved homes and businesses.

This Kiva loan will be used to provide borrowers with needed goods or services, as opposed to cash or financial credit.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

This guest article from YourTango was written by Dr. Joe Kort.
While some people are inappropriately labeled "sex addicts" — providing a blanket excuse for all kinds of irresponsible sexual behavior — others truly suffer from uncontrollable sexual impulses, or sex addiction.
Someone with sex addiction isn't just someone who loves sex. The main symptoms of sex addiction include a loss of control, failed attempts to stop unwanted sexual behavior, and a pattern of negative consequences from anxiety to depression and legal problems.
Here are some quick facts about sex addiction you may not know…

MIAMI (AP) - Running back Knowshon Moreno has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Miami Dolphins, whose running game ranked 26th in the NFL last season.
Moreno, a five-year veteran, had his best season in 2013 when he rushed for 1,038 yards, caught 60 passes and scored 13 touchdowns playing with Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.
Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas were the Dolphins' primary ball carriers last season, and both remain on the roster.
Denver made Moreno the 12th overall pick in the 2009 draft after he played at Georgia. He has career rushing totals of 3,468 yards and 26 touchdowns.

Festivities begin with a mariachi band entertaining students as they are being seated at 7:30 p.m., and by cheerleaders performing before the Tower chimes welcome the crowd at 8 p.m.
A dragon dance, a choir, dance groups and music by Brave Combo will be featured during a program that will include remarks by President Larry R. Faulkner, Austin Mayor Gus Garcia, student leaders, university administrators and representatives of the Texas Exes.
Gone To Texas is always a great party and a terrific way to kick off the fall semester," Faulkner said. "Its an opportunity to meet new people, learn campus traditions and catch the UT spirit. I hope to see every freshman and new student on the Main Mall for the celebration, Faulkner said.
Steve Parks, director of production for university events, said the party welcomes all new students in an engaging and contemporary fashion.
The University Co-op provides 4,000 T-shirts each year for the Gone To Texas festivities. The party marks the beginning of the academic year, with a total student body expected to at least equal the 50,616 enrollment recorded for the fall 2001 semester.
Walker said the previous record enrollment of freshmen for the summer/fall period was in 1988, when 7,907 freshmen were enrolled.
State of Texas House Bill 588, commonly known as the Top 10 Percent Law, guarantees that Texas high school graduates who were in the top 10 percent of their senior class be admitted to any state institution of higher learning. Walker said about 50 percent of the freshman class this fall will be students who scored in the top 10 percent of their class. This is the largest class of top 10 percent students ever at the university, and Walker said he believes it will be an exceptionally high-scoring class.
When you have a higher number of top 10 percent students, these students, as a group, score higher than others, Walker said. The mean Standard Aptitude Test (SAT) score for the freshman class this summer/fall semester is 1228.77, compared with a score of 1219.03 for the 2001 summer/fall semester.
Its evident this is a place students want to be and there are many reasons for that, Walker said. Quality for the price is outstanding and people see that value.

April 8, 2012
West Genesee junior midfielder Teddy Glesener (21) won a pair of crucial face-offs down the stretch of last Saturday's game against Fayetteville-Manlius that led to the decisive goals as the Wildcats beat the Hornets 7-5.
Stories this photo appears in:
Wildcats earn first win over F-M since 2009
Goals late in regulation help WG beat Hornets 7-5
True, the boys lacrosse game between West Genesee and Fayetteville-Manlius on Saturday afternoon did not count in the league standings. But it still meant a lot, especially to the likes of Tim Barber. Over the last two seasons, Barber and his fellow Wildcats had twice gone into battle against the Hornets, and had twice lost.

text: The Conan O'Brien wiki last edited by SideburnGuru on 06/12/13 10:09PM View full history Conan had The Tonight Show for about a year, but early in 2010 NBC management wanted to take Jay Leno off of his fledging primetime program and put him back on the late night schedule. This did not sit well with Conan, as he did not want The Tonight Show to be delayed into airing early the next morning, just so Jay Leno could have a 30 minute program starting at 11:35 p.m. Eastern and Pacific time. Hence, there was a parting of the ways between Conan and NBC and Jay Leno ended up back at The Tonight Show. The Flaming CThe Flaming C's Injustice skin.The Flaming C was a hero modeled after Conan O'Brien's appearance. It was designed by Bruce Timm. Flaming C has made cameo appearances on Young Justice. Even had a whole animated skit dedicated towards the character. Recently, the character has even been shown as a Superman skin in the game, during one of Conan's Clueless Gamer where he was playing Injustice Gods Among Us. Flaming C was shown fighting Aquaman in the game.

Hornsea boasts a lovely sandy Blue Flag beach and attractively refurbished award-winning promenade to stroll along. It has retained a pleasant village atmosphere, quieter than its more brash neighbour Bridlington 15 miles to the north. Hornsea also sits on the shore of Yorkshire's largest freshwater lake. On Hornsea Mere, you can have a go at sailing, rowing, fishing – and it is also a haven for all kinds of birds. The town has a colourful history of smuggling, a trade which was aided and abetted by the entire town, even the local church, whose vault was used to stash contraband. These days shopping has taken over from smuggling as one of Hornsea's favourite pastimes. People come from miles around to visit Wilbur`s Market on the sea front, famous as one of the friendliest markets in Yorkshire. Plus, the Hornsea Freeport Shopping Village, with more than 40 outlets, has everything from big name fashion brands to kitchenware and china at irresistible prices.
Spurn Point is an extraordinary three-mile long finger of shifting sand and shingle, only 50 metres wide in places, jutting out into the Humber Estuary like an elongated tongue. Spurn's environment is very fragile and open to the ravages of the North Sea but this is a beautiful place for bird watching, sea fishing, walking or just a day out.
Bridlington offers two lovely sandy beaches, one on either side of the historic harbour, sheltered from the north winds by Flamborough, whose towering chalk cliffs are home to one of the largest sites of nesting sea birds in England. Take a walk along the cliffs to see a wide variety of birds including a colony of gannets. There are sea caves and coves to explore all along the headland.
Inland from Hornsea lie the beautiful, undulating Yorkshire Wolds a series of gently rolling chalk hills and valleys, giving rise to a landscape which is highly reminiscent of the Downs of southern England, although much emptier and less frequented by tourists. The countryside is punctuated by picturesque market towns and historic houses. Beverley has a glorious Gothic Minster and lovingly preserved old streets and buildings. Lying on the edge of the Wolds, Driffield is sometimes known as the 'Capital of the Wolds' and is the central point between York, Hull and Scarborough. Tucked away in a fold in the hills is the lost village of Wharram Percy. For a glimpse of the grand lifestyle of landowners in times past, visit Burton Agnes and Burton Constable, both outstanding Elizabethan country houses, and the Georgian Sledmere House. The Wolds have countless villages, with characterful inns, ponds and fine churches. While there are a few tea shops as well as some excellent pubs, the beauty and authenticity of the place remains.

Um, can you test the AA-12 variant with the drum mag, see if it's different? It replaces the terrible shotgun, GECK name "WeapUniqueTerribleShotgun". You can cheat for it or find it in the wastes.
Also, you need FOSE, it's not optional for the mod anymore. Several features, such as night vision, some aid items, the air support, and sprinting require it. There are probably more, but I'm tired and can't remember.

If you were waiting for the Ubaldo Jimenez trade talks to heat up, today was your day. Here's a recap of today's reports:
- MLB.com's Peter Gammons says the Rockies are "looking for two prime prospects, along with one or two big-league ready players, including a starting pitcher."
- SI.com's Jon Heyman says the Rockies and Yankees match up well in an article on SI.com. But of course, our readers knew that already.
- Heyman tweeted this about Rockies 3B Ty Wigginton-"wigginton's name came up in yankees-rox talk. could be good a-rod insurance". The Rockies would probably like to move former 1st rounder Ian Stewart to 3B.
- Buster Olney reports that with Jimenez's inexpensive contract through 2013, there would be high production at a low cost for any team acquiring the right-hander, with team control and very little financial risk.
- Rockies GM Dan O'Dowd told Troy Renck of the Denver Post that the Rockies would have to be "absolutely overwhelmed" to move Jimenez. Renck goes on to say "The Rockies aren't shopping Jimenez. General manager Dan O'Dowd told me directly that he has no mandate to move money, that he's not looking to sell."
- Jon Heyman had the biggest news of the day, the first reported trade proposal-"rockies name price for ubaldo: montero, banuelos, betances & nova. nyy will do montero plus other pitchers (not those guys)"
Use this thread to kick around trade proposals, explain to your fellow commenters why their proposal makes no sense but yours is fabulous, or whatever else you want.

Pro Workflow in Laravel and Sublime Text
by Jeffrey Way
Not too long ago, I built a handful of generators for Laravel, which ease the process of various tasks. Today, thanks to help from Gaurav Narula, we're turning things up a notch with the release of a new Sublime Text plugin that leverages the power of Artisan and the generators from directly within your editor.
There's only a few steps to begin taking advantage of both of these tools.
- Install the Generator Commands for your Laravel application.
- Clone the Sublime Text plugin into your packages directory. (Soon to be available through Package Control).
That's it! You should now be good to go! Search for "Laravel" within the command palette, and you'll find a variety of options.
Let me show you my basic workflow below:

This post brought to you by Arcsoft. All opinions are 100% mine.
You have always been wondering about the best possible ways to blend all types of digital media including photos, video and music to create an innovative method for telling stories of those interesting moments in your life. Whip the App solves this intriguing question that has been always in your mind since you started playing with photos, videos and social albums.
The best thing about Whip the App is that it is designed for all the platforms. It doesn't matter whether you have an iPad, a Windows 8 device or an Android. The app allows you to create your stunning photo album in just 3 straightforward steps with Whip Social Album. Select your photos and videos, change them, cut them or do anything with them to make them look amazing, and share.
You can use the photos and video from your android, iPad or Windows 8 device, or from your social profile page on Facebook. The single-touch enhancement tool helps turn any photo into the picture-perfect statement you want to create with it. Whip the App also gives you the freedom to add text to any page or the cover to keep the viewers glued to your Whips.
Whip has recently launched its Android app to cater to the digital needs of the largest segment in the social world. Whip the App makes it a breeze to add life to your weekend or holiday adventures in the most interesting way. If you have an Android device, you can start creating your Whip by choosing images from your Photo Album. Interestingly, you would have to bring down the number of favorites to not more than a couple of dozen images.
Next, you can choose your background music and style to give a feel of what the occasion actually felt like. In fact, you would be able to choose the designs from inside the Whip the App to set your Whip on fire among your peers.
When it comes to the customization step, the Android app would automatically organize the photos in a way to create the optimal layout. This is where you can add your cover title and some funny captions. One of the most important features that would inspire you to download this app is the level of control and flexibility it offers. Resize, rotate or rearrange each one of the photos before you get the desired results.
When you embark on your next vacation, you have every reason to download and use free iPad app or Whip the App for your Android, or Windows 8 device. No longer are you just restricted to post your holiday photos and videos on your Facebook status. Whip the App would make it possible to integrate those holiday photos and videos and create the perfect social album that can be shared with all your friends. They would certainly have a tough time envying and watching through the amazing experiences you enjoyed during your vacation.
Add some cool tunes to your social albums, choosing from the Whip the App "indie" library. There is no need for your friends and fans to have the app to like and comment on your albums.The albums can be viewed on any system or smart-device, and if you love to demonstrate your passion even in the smallest jolly moments of life, you would certainly download this app on your device.

It's a DNS issue. Sorry, but I'll decline explaining what a DNS is.
CNET's Internet services forum is the best source for troubleshooting advice and recommendations from a community of experts. Discussion topics include networking, Internet services tips and tricks, buying advice, help and how-tos, and troubleshooting connection problems & speed for broadband service providers, dial-up services, or wireless Internet, to routers, modems, and much more.
For over a week, I have been unable to reach a cell phone forum, www.motox.info , and thought the site was down.
Went to my office .. accessed site without a problem. Chatted with the site owner, he said site has had no outtage whatsoever...
Called comcast... their ''level 2'' tech said, ''it's your PC, not Comcast'' So, all three pc's I use won't reach the same site using Comcast, but all the pc's at my office will. Hmmm... Im not a rocket scientist, BUT. Asked the tech to tracert, "sorry, I cannot do that from here" was his reply. Nice one Comcast!
Went into Comcast's support forum and posted. GUESS WHAT?
Of all the responses, no other Comcast user could access the site either!!!
It really sounds like DNS issues to me. To test this, go to http://www.opendns.com/start/ and use the instructions there if needed to try the OpenDNS servers instead. That will tell you for certain if it's the Comcast DNS servers.
i don't think he's taking it out on you; you seem to be perturbed by his postings instead. ease up--not all of us are adept at handling these issues. comcast IS a pain for us who are less experienced. my ie7 keeps crashing (for example). i hope you're not so harsh with everyone else. hope your day gets better, man..........
Just a bit off topic question. Since we both have the same locale and profession, I was curious as to your opinion of Comcast cable internet service. I have been with Bell South DSL for 5 or 6 years, but am considering a switch to Comcast because of speed and price considerations.
This is a problem everywhere with every ISP. Until relatively recently, Comcast, like other ISPs, operated their Internet service like Frame Relay. There was no security at all. Now, Comcast has since turned 180 degrees and is actively securing their leg of the Internet. But, sometimes, they go too far. In Comcast's defense (I am only a customer), I experience the same problems with other ISPs and even at my office -- system administrators blocking web sites and sometimes entire IP blocks. If you talk to a system administrator about this, you will find out that this is very muddy water and I feel sorry for the administrators because they receive so much flak.
for a year, I used to be able to access thottbot.com, and then one weekend it just stopped resolving - Cannot Find Server. I tried calling support, no help - must be user error - noobs.
I switched to verizon fios and can access the website again. Thottbot.com does do some strange DNS routing and web-farming, but should Comcast be implementing a DNS strategy that "usually" resolves to IPs?
Hi, I copy-pasted your link into my browser on my home PC and was able to bring up the forum page without a problem. I have Comcast & live in Smyrna, TN. I've had my issues with Comcast in the past. Sounds as if you have too. But I think there's a 99.89% chance it's not them causing your problem this time. Which then makes it harder to pin point the problem you are having. I would have "assumed" the same thing. Then again I "always" get in hot water for assuming. Hope you find your answer soon. Does seem strange. Could be one of your spam programs like Spyware Doctor (which is a great program) blocking it or your PC's security settings are too high. Best of luck
My broadband provider is Adelphia, which provides an excellent 5 meg broadband service. It's never down and works great. BUT, occasionally I can't reach favorite sites.
One time, when I couldn't reach HGTV.com, I called support. The support office is in Pennsylvannia, and I asked the support person if she could reach HGTV.com. She could. So she looked up which DNS server she was using, and, indeed, it was different from mine. I already knew that my local DNS server in Ven Nuys, Calif., is cranky--this had happened before--and, indeed, any Adelphia customer in the Western half of the United States could not reach HGTV.com that day. She was kind enough to give me the IP address of an Adelphia DNS server in Virginia, one that appears to be less cranky. So, I use that on those rare times when I can't reach an important site.
The DNS issue that's happening appears to be some problem with getting updates from certain other DNS servers. The Adelphia server was reporting failures in getting DNS information from HGTV.com's hosting company, BellSouth. After a bunch of phone calls and emails, I'm still not sure who had the problem, Adelphia or BellSouth (and it's almost impossible to assign blame confidently in these IP incidents). It may be a software issue between the two servers. Who knows.
The lession here is, before you start to think about Big Brother, check out DNS issues.
We have had Comcast internet service for years and for some reason about midday yesterday a site I use daily just quit working out of the blue. I called this vendor to order something since I couldn't access the site and mentioned something about the site being down and they said it was working fine on their end. So they gave me to support and to make a long story short after some time they said that Comcast was blocking their site and that I would have to talk to Comcast. It being a holiday yesterday I had to sit on hold for someone at Comcast but when I did get a person he said that it was the firewall and to turn it off. I protested at first but he explained that I would keep the firewall on on the computers and our other router but he would just turn the firewall off on their modem/router. He did this remotely and I was able to access the site in question. That simple! I guess I could turn the firewall on that device back on and go allow access to that site if I felt inclined to but don't really feel the need to in our situation.
This happens to me as well. Seemingly at random... Just today I was unable to view a client's website on my work PC (or any pc in-house for that matter). I then pulled it up with my smartphone. I unplugged the Comcast modem for 10 seconds and plugged it back in. BINGO! Back in business.
Comcast isn't doing this intentionally, folks. Comcast leases out horrible hardware at premium prices and we just smile and ask for more. Who is really at fault here?
Comcast is blocking my site which I use for my classes in chemistry. The reason may be that it has the extension ".net" which might look like a competitor. The site is available by any other route except Comcast.
Comcast, of course, denies this, so I can't get it fixed. This is a real problem for my student, much less for me, since I can't unload through Comcast.
I will recommend to all my student to get some other service than Comcast. I recommend to all out there to do the same.
But what I find when I've been lucky enough to test this firsthand is that it's something else. That is, my laptop worked and their machine didn't.
Causes are all over the map from firewalls, malware damage, the HOSTS file and other.
The roughest one found the issue to be at the server site that it's ISP had blocked the other ISP in an attempt to block some denial of service attack.
Good luck and hope you figure it out.
I spend about an hour with the technicians and it finally got straightened out. After trying several things, it started working. We have no idea what was going on, but I do think I need to apologize. It doesn't look deliberate.
However, they don't know what went wrong, so it could happen again.

When most people think about London 2012, it's often about issues such as transport, security or the elite athletes themselves. But there is a side to the Games that can often be overlooked. Sport has the power to change lives and empower young people. Sport can bring schools and communities together, promote a healthy lifestyle and give young people an incentive to attend school regularly. It was for these reasons that I became an ambassador for International Inspiration - London 2012's international sports legacy programme - in 2009.
I would like to draw your attention to something that I find really interesting about the London Olympic games - that it will be the first time there is a truly social online Olympic event, there is even an online hub connecting fans with athletes.
The shrill of a ringing bell carries a number of connotations. With this being a piece on London 2012, it could be a hackneyed reference to a city waking up to the dawn of a new beginning come July. It could even be more on-the-nose with some reference to Big Ben chiming welcoming tones to the arriving world...
It is exactly one hundred days until the opening ceremony of the London Olympic games when, under Danny Boyle's direction, thousands of British volunteers will show the world that the UK can match anything China did four years ago.
