Lock, Stock, and Jamaican Rum Barrel
Since opening, Last Best Brewing and Distilling has been hard at work pushing the Calgary craft beer scene forward.
Currently hosting a line-up of five full time beers (Pale Ale, IPA, Black Lager, Porter, and Kolsch), Last Best is constantly brewing small batch seasonals - some of my favourites from this year have been the King Ralph Imperial IPA, Oktoberfest, The Afternoon Show with Kelly WIPA, and their Pilsner. To top it off, Last Best routinely has a guest tap, featuring a beer from another fantastic brewery - such as the Toolshed Red Rage or Six Corners Trailhead IPA.
Their latest, limited release offering (and their first bottled beer) is the first of their barrel-aged Lineage Series - the Imperial Porter.

Stop trying to become slim by willpower, and learn how to put your environment to work for you.
Score environments in your food radius, and let them know how they can help you be healthier.
A Short Bio:
My mission for the last 25 years has been to change eating behavior.
I'm a behavioral scientist who changes the way we eat in a fun, painless, scalable, meet-people-where-they-are way. I believe this most easily happens without taking away choices, without finger-wagging, or without using the word "can't." "Can't" doesn't work very well for 90% of us — that's the 90% I want to help. I love French food and French fries, and I love Cabernet and Diet Coke. We just have to help all of them fit better in our lives.
I'm a born and raised Midwesterner, but I've spent much of my life in either the SF Bay Area or as an East Coast professor in 3 Ivy League schools. Although I spend my free time playing with 3 silly daughters, playing terrible tenor sax in a rock band, and performing semi-terrible stand-up comedy, my obsessive mission is to change eating behaviors in homes, neighborhoods, and countries so that we eat less and we eat better.
A Long One:
Brian Wansink is the John Dyson Professor of Marketing and the Director of the Cornell Food and Brand Lab in the Department of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. He is the lead author of over 200 academic articles and books on eating behavior, including the best-selling Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think (2006) along with Marketing Nutrition (2005), Asking Questions (2004), and Consumer Panels (2002).
He earned his Ph.D. in Consumer Behavior at Stanford (1990) and was marketing professor at the Amos Tuck School at Dartmouth College (1990–1994), the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam (1994–1995), and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania (1995–1997). He was the Julian Simon Faculty Scholar and Professor of Marketing, Nutritional Sciences and Agricultural and Consumer Economics at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (1997–2005). After that, he moved to Cornell University as the John Dyson Endowed Chair at the Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management.
Wansink's award-winning academic research on eating behavior, behavioral economics, and behavior change has been published in the world's top marketing, medical, and nutrition journals. It contributed to the introduction of smaller "100 calorie" packages (to prevent overeating), the use of taller glasses in bars (to prevent the overpouring of alcohol), the use of elaborate names and mouth-watering descriptions in many chain restaurant menus (to improve enjoyment of the food), and the removal of 500 million calories from restaurants each year (via Unilever's Seductive Nutrition program). These insights have been presented, translated, reported, and featured in television documentaries on every continent but Antarctica.
From 2007-2009 Wansink was granted a leave-of-absence from Cornell to accept a White House appointment as Executive Director of the USDA's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, the Federal agency in charge of developing 2010 Dietary Guidelines and promoting the Food Guide Pyramid.
As the Director of the Cornell University Food and Brand Lab, Dr. Wansink and his team focus on developing and disseminating transforming solutions that help people eat better. The lab's research has driven the creation of the Smarter Lunchrooms Movement and the Cornell Center for Behavioral Economics in Child Nutrition Programs (BEN) – two programs devoted to the funding, conduction, and dissemination of research concerning children's health.
In his spare time, Dr. Wansink enjoys watching action/horror movies, playing the saxophone, and listening to Vanilla Ice's hit song Ice, Ice, Baby.

Temperatures have been measured in a laminar premixed propane–air diffusion flame using degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) of the OH radical. The spectra were recorded simultaneously with laser-induced fluorescence through the (0, 0) band of the OH A2Σ–X2II transition. Individual rotational lines are more clearly resolved in the DFWM spectrum than in the laser-induced fluorescence spectrum, although both are power broadened at laser intensities of 1–2 MW/cm2 at 307 nm. Rotational temperatures have been determined from the DFWM spectra and are in close agreement with temperatures measured with coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy of nitrogen.

A Tale of Brutal War and Saintly Miracles
Spike Lee Creates a WWII Homage to the Buffalo Soldiers
For African-American director Spike Lee, who is best known for his often racially charged modern movies like Do the Right Thing, Malcolm X, Jungle Fever, and Bamboozled, his new film Miracle at St. Anna is a real departure.
Like most of his previous work (excepting Inside Man, his most recent big hit) the drama focuses on a group of black male protagonists. But this one is very different, as a period piece in a genre that Lee has never tackled before. These four men are American soldiers, part of the 92nd Infantry Division fighting in Italy during World War II. As the often-bloody drama based on James McBride's novel of the same name unfolds, Lee explores the war genre from the perspective of these fighting men who still face deep-seated racial prejudices at home and within their own ranks while desperately trying to stay alive as they beat back the German army through the hills of Tuscany.
Layered on top of this exploration of the "Buffalo Soldiers" wartime experience is a patina of religion, as the four men (well played by Derek Luke, Laz Alonso, Michael Ealy, and Omar Benson Miller) find themselves holed up in an Italian village, seemingly protected by a sculpted head they have rescued from a destroyed bridge in Florence.
It is this totem that fuels much of the tale, along with a young Italian boy that Private Sam Train (Miller) rescues from certain death. The boy appears to perform miracles that keep the men from harm—or is it the stone head that is the protector? Whichever it is, the underlying theme of the film focuses heavily on faith, on having a belief in something bigger than man and his actions, despite the brutality, betrayal, and racism that are the central elements of the tale. And that element makes it another departure for Spike Lee, whose films are rarely driven by such overt spiritualism.
Miracle at St. Anna takes a long time to unfold, at a running time of 2 hours and 40 minutes; perhaps if Lee had edited more judiciously, it might have become a classic of the genre. But instead, the film begins to drag as the story goes on and on, and as the heavy-handed religious content is repeatedly stressed. Sadly, by the time the credits roll, you'll feel like the miracle of the movie is that it is finally over.

Procession, memorial to be final farewell for Paul Schell
The man who picked up mail for the Whidbey Island Center for the Arts every day for the past decade will take one final trip to the theater next week.
A procession and party for Paul Schell, who unexpectedly died July 27 following complications from a quadruple bypass heart surgery, will wind through Langley on Thursday, Aug. 14. The line will start at the Inn at Langley, owned by Paul and wife Pam Schell, and make its way through town in what organizer Stacie Burgua likened to a New Orleans funeral — though that word is one she avoids when discussing Paul Schell's farewell.
"I don't want to call it the funeral procession," Burgua said. "It's the Paul Schell Procession."
Following the walkabout led by the car carrying his ashes, a public memorial will be held in the arts center's Zech Hall at 4 p.m. The Schells were instrumental in founding the arts nonprofit and were driving forces in its two capital campaigns over the past decade. Both served on its board of directors as well.
His wife had a similar but different word for the string of people trailing her and Paul: a send-off.
"It's a real pleasure for me to be able to create a passing-on I think he would enjoy," she said while having her hair styled at the Second Street Hair Boutique in Langley on Thursday afternoon. "I have a lot of energy to do it the way he'd want."
The Schells made a significant impact on the development of Langley over the past three decades, and especially the past 12 years. Several buildings were erected and owned by the Schells, including the Inn at Langley, the Star Store Basics building, the Giraffe Building that the Braeburn Restaurant and Gregor Rare Books occupy, as well as the Whidbey Island Center for the Arts for which they helped fundraise.
The Second Street salon's owner, Bristol Branson, said Paul was one of the first people to see the shop when it opened a year ago. She was busily preparing the space, cleaning and organizing it, when Schell stuck his head in through the window on Second Street to tell her he was excited for it to open. That memory of being warmly welcomed by the Schells has endured.
Pam said her husband was more human than the legacy that stuck with him as a former mayor of Seattle or as a Langley developer. Perhaps the most stigmatized attachment to Schell was his time in office during the World Trade Organization protests and riots in Seattle.
"The big story isn't really him," she said. "It's the little things that remind me of him."
The couple, married 51 years after a whirlwind courtship that saw them meet while going on blind dates with other people in New York, shared countless little moments.
Raised in Iowa as the son of a Lutheran pastor and a nurse, Paul Schell was both urban and rural, and embraced elements of both worlds. He and his wife shared a love of the ballet and opera, which had Pam recalling that Paul "liked the passion of it but without the patience." Or that he loved tending to the shrubs around WICA and operating his Kubota tractor on their property.
Pam Schell remembers the two finding a weekend home in 1975 on First Street in Langley.
"At that time, little Langley was just a lot," she said.
Eventually, the Schells found their longtime home off Wilkinson Road near Clinton. Over the years they remodeled and expanded the house before moving there full time in 2002, after Schell lost the election.
At the time of Schell's death, they were preparing to move into their dream home on Wharf Street, a three-story waterview house in Langley.
Schell was 76 and in the midst of trying to boost development in the Village by the Sea. Less than a week before his death, Schell presented to the Langley City Council on his idea for a bridge and elevator to connect pedestrians from Cascade Avenue to the South Whidbey Harbor at Langley — which Schell adamantly continued to call by its colloquial name, the Langley marina or the Langley dock.
Building the Langley Lift, as Schell dubbed the bridge and elevator, will be up to the city, architect Eric Richmond who designed it with Schell, and Pam.
"I'll do the best I can, but I'm not the visionary he was," she said.
The Aug. 14 memorial is expected to last an hour, a length which Pam said was her husband's preferred meeting time. It will be partly a service conducted jointly by Mary Boyd, pastor at Langley United Methodist Church, and Pam's brothers-in-law who are both pastors. The other half of the memorial will be a time for a handful of people to speak about Paul.

Black and Tan Clouser Minnow
A Black and Tan Clouser like this is a go-to fly for the trout streams I fish. It seems that fish have to chase and eat this fly right when they see it. I have found that tying this streamer pattern with a long shank hook helps with short strikes. I have also found that fishing it with a fast sweeping motion gets the most bites.
Streamer fishing in the Colorado Rocky Mountains is as good as it gets. I fished with streamers today and it was great. If pulling Little Clouser Minnows off the banks is right up your alley, go to http://www.riplips.com for info and booking. Thanks for watching!

We Want to Hear from You: Who Else Should Have Your Back?
Three weeks ago we launched our Who Has Your Back campaign, calling on companies to stand with their users when the government comes asking for users' data. We chose twelve companies we were most concerned about, including the three largest social networking sites, the three largest web email providers, and the three largest Internet service providers in the United States. And then we added three more companies that we believe are vital players holding sensitive consumer data: Apple, Amazon, and Skype.
Now it's your turn.
Tell EFF which company you think we should add to our list. It can be any Internet company that has a significant physical presence or user base in the U.S. (so that it's covered by U.S. laws). It can be a file sharing service, an online chat service, a social network – any company holding your data that should stand by your side and support your rights. Based on your suggestions, we'll add a 13th company to our petition.
How to send your suggestions:
- Via Twitter or Identi.ca: send a message to EFF using the hashtag #standwithme.
Example Tweet: "Hey @eff – tell @Dropbox to #standwithme"
- Via Facebook: post a message on our wall.
Example Facebook post: EFF, add PayPal to your "Who Has Your Back?" campaign!
If you don't use these social networking sites, you can still participate! Just send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and list the name of the company in the subject line of your email.
Based on your suggestions and our own analysis, we'll pick two of the companies and hold a run-off. And you, the user, will get to choose the 13th company in our campaign.
So make your voice heard. Send us a tweet, a Facebook post, or an email today.

Biggest winners and losers of 2013: Beyonce, Jennifer Lawrence, 'Breaking Bad' and more
WINNER: Mark Burnett
What Went Right in 2013: "The Voice" continued to be NBC's saving grace and won the Reality Competition Emmy. "Survivor" continued to be a reality gold standard. "Shark Tank" continued to be a hit for ABC and won the TCA Award for reality. So that's all pretty good. But what really put Mark Burnett over the top in 2013 was the absurdly strong ratings for History's "The Bible," a 10-part miniseries that premiered to over 13 million viewers in March and was still averaging nearly 12 million by its finale, making it a major triumph for the producer and wife Roma Downey.
What's Ahead in 2014: After the success of "The Bible," Burnett jumped ship to take the sequel, "A.D.," to NBC, where he's also developing a miniseries project about the Mayflower. And then Burnett also has follow-up seasons for all of those reality hits.

MPs attack BT's 'monopolistic' grip on gov-subsidised £1.2bn rural broadband rollout
The UK government has completely screwed up the deployment of faster internet connections to Brits living in the countryside because it failed to properly address competition concerns as a result of its awarding all its broadband contracts to BT, politicians concluded today. MPs sitting on the public accounts committee …
Could competition have worked?
I do wonder whether we were barking up the wrong tree trying the competition angle at all, and whether it would have been better to do a top level deal with BT and Virgin from the outset, with some cash set aside for communities to go it alone where it isn't commercially viable.
With hindsight, I do wonder whether no matter what we had done, under the existing regulatory and EU competition laws there would have been the same result anyway.
Re: Could competition have worked?
Virgin? What have they got to do with rural broadband? Look at a map of their coverage -
It's hilarious. The day that I see Virgin laying fibre along the country lanes of East Anglia, Yorkshire, Cornwall and Ceredigion, is the day I might take them seriously. They're only interested in cheap and cheerful high-density housing.
In terms of rural services, there really is no competition and there probably shouldn't be. What's the sense of five companies laying pipes/cable/fibre whatever into a rural area with a population of a few hundred? Better to have a monopoly with controls to ensure they a) provide a fair service and b) don't rip off the customers.
Re: Could competition have worked?
Better to have a monopoly with controls to ensure they a) provide a fair service and b) don't rip off the customers.
But that is exactly the problem. I have a friend who lives North of Norwich (just before it gets really wet :), and his BT circuit is so contended we can't use Skype in the evening, even without video it simply sucks, and his throughput is what I used to have 20 years ago in Hong Kong when we had to pick up London email via a Compuserve link. His problem is simple: he would shift to another provider tomorrow if there was one, but because BT has a monopoly there is absolutely ZERO incentive for BT to run fiber - they'll be milking the existing infrastructure until the noise gets too loud politically. Which hasn't happened yet.
Actually, come to think of it - organising people may be the way forward because I cannot see anything change otherwise.
Re: Could competition have worked?
"and his BT circuit is so contended we can't use Skype in the evening"
Contention isn't a last mile issue, it occurs at the edge of the network. Swapping to a different ISP who have lower contention ratios and who buy larger amounts of backhaul would change the throughput.
Re: Could competition have worked?
And the problem with that solution is that you find yourself needing to swap providers every year as all your neighbours pile on to the provider with the best performance.
I watched my TalkTalk service go from good to OK to very poor indeed. Switched to BT which was very good, has no gone to OK and by next year will be pretty awful.
While changing suppliers is straightforward it is a right pain and I don't want to be switching suppliers every year, I want to make use of the broadband.
Re: Could competition have worked? @AC
>BT circuit is so contended we can't use Skype in the evening
Suspect that rural Norfolk isn't that well served and the only available LLU's are: BT, TalkTalk/CPW and Sky (the original Sky LLU, not the recently acquired O2/BE LLU). My preference would be to switch to a BT Wholesale Business broadband package via a third-party ISP such as Zen and attach a decent router (eg. Draytek) to make the best of the available line speed and throughput.
If line speed is sub 1Mbps then need to assess whether a second DSL line (and router that can simultaneously use 2 DSL lines) would be beneficial or if a 3G phone or dongle (with external antenna) is usable.
Re: Could competition have worked?
Contention is all to do with how much bandwidth the ISP installs in the backhaul (plus things like peering). Quite how the backhaul is provisioned depends on the particular exchange and what the long haul options are, but in any event, it's "just" a matter of money. Note that some operators (mentioning no names) have the reputation of being parsimonious on exchanges they haven't unbundled as they have to buy the back-haul (at least to a hand-off point) from BT Wholesale. If they cared to buy more bandwidth, then the congestion would be eased or even eliminated.
Anyway, the point is to pester the ISP with complaints, and if all else fails, use an ISP with a better reputation for managing congestion.
Re: Could competition have worked?
Fair points.
There is a huge problem in service provision infrastructure where the most cost effective solution is some sort of de facto monopoly.
Whether its roads, railways, gas pipes, electricity cables or phone and optical fibre, it doesn't make sense to have two entities supplying the same service to the same location.
Unfortunately neither nationalisation or regulation have served us particularly well..
My only tentative solution is to say that such matters might be best passed to local councils, whose own local taxpayers could fund the schemes, or not, as they saw fit.
And then rent the infrastructure to anyone who wanted to send packets over it.
But since the highly paid CEOS of district councils are unable to even organise cost effective bin collection, I fear that one would lead to trouble as well.
Re: Could competition have worked?
No: it doesn't work that way. the smaller providers make enough money to keep their banwidth at a sane level for demand.
At £25 per month I have never had, nor expect to have, a contention issue.
If you want the service, pay the bloomin money for it.
Re: Could competition have worked?
Virgin because of suburban in-fill (there are quite a few places that get crap broadband over BT wires and the Virgin cable is at the end of a road close but doesn't extend down it) and new estates and edges of towns they are in already.
Agree their network model would mean they are unlikely to be laying cable down country lanes.
BT's Lobbying Machine
Looks like BT's lobbyists cooked up some nice business for BT.
I wonder which MP's involved will be offered a consultancy at BT in the future ?
Incumbent get more cash from incumbent fund
As BT inherited it's infrastructure, it also inherited large swaves of the country that will never get BB no matter what the Gov say.
Some villages are afterthoughts, tapped from copper that already went miles past then back again so can never get BB unless new cabling is run and the cost would be prohibitive commercially (50 or so houses). BT will never run to these without the funding being ring fenced to do the project.
At the moment, the 95% of the country funding is being spent on the 20% that will net BT the most profit short term, and the government is further "gifting" them the infrastructure costs back.
win-win for BT
And the fund was started by the Gov that Hodge was part of.........
Pot meet Kettle
Re: Incumbent get more cash from incumbent fund
Hmm, isn't there a way to run this wireless? Having said that, laying fibre also increases "traditional" capacity for phone and mobile, so there are some incentives to sort this out, but I agree, money is the key issue here.
We couldn't *possibly* demand from BT not to make the massive profits it's used to..
Re: Incumbent get more cash from incumbent fund
Yes - there was a startup in cambridge doing to-the-house microwave links with tiny antennae
But it only made sense in volume and since BT was required to run a copper line for your fixed phone - whatever the cost - there was no market for a more expensive (to the home owner) link. Even though it would have actually cost less overall.
Re: Incumbent get more cash from incumbent fund
"As BT inherited it's infrastructure, it also inherited large swaves of the country that will never get BB no matter what the Gov say."
Should be swathes.
Not even sure it's the right word.
From wordnic:
swathe (swŏþ, swôþ, swāþ)
v. To wrap or bind with or as if with bandages.
v. To enfold or constrict.
n. A wrapping, binding, or bandage.
Re: Incumbent get more cash from incumbent fund
etc etc
Rural WISP's are already doing this so why can't the Government throw them a few bones? As the article indicates the situation is even worse is that BT are suitably vague about their coverage so WISP's run a huge risk of spending money on infrastructure and marketing only to find BT decide to roll in, subsidy and all.
Re: Incumbent get more cash from incumbent fund
I did a quick check, and that certainly fits with the phrase "swathed in bandages", but the alternative definition develops from grass mowing (the strip of cut grass) into a strip or area of land.
Checking Wordnik, I reckon that the distinction it makes between "swathe" and "swath" has thrown you off. The plural formation is ambiguous, and it is one of those slightly obscure words for most people. It's almost a cliche, a bit of a rhetorical archaism in either sense, and I suspect you'd need a connection to farming to have heard the word in day-to-day use.
And all this points up the risks of relying on a single online source. If you miss the "alternative" spelling pointer in Wordnik, you misdirected. British dictionaries are different. We do indeed have two countries divided by a common language.
@AC Incumbent get more cash from incumbent fund
Hmm, isn't there a way to run this wireless? Having said that, laying fibre also increases "traditional" capacity for phone and mobile, so there are some incentives to sort this out, but I agree, money is the key issue here."
Wireless is brilliant if you happen to live somewhere that has the topography of a snooker table (hence its popularity in East Anglia). It's not as much use in hilly terrain as lines of sight are much less likely.
Never going to work without competition
How could this ever possibly have worked without real competition? As it stands BT decides which areas aren't "commercially viable", BT then gets public money to (in effect) bribe them into installing fibre, BT then pockets the profit from operating it. It's basically an invitation to BT to hold off on enough viable but less profitable deployments as are needed to exhaust the government funds available, and keep truly unprofitable deployments in reserve for the next round of free public money.
Re: Never going to work without competition
I think infrastructure should be government owned & ran, it IS a public service...
Then they can sell the access to people like TalkTalk, BT, Virgin etc, who can sell it to us...
In other words BT Wholesale should be nationalised....
Re: Never going to work without competition
Competition is generally a good thing, but it isn't the great equalizing force it is often credited as being. Before everybody fires off downvotes, let me explain.
Competition is very similar to participants in a duel of honor. It is extraordinarily refined behavior in the first place and the only reason for two (or more) companies to compete instead of conspire to manipulate pricing is because the competitors see greater benefit in divvying up a given market, to suit their individual strengths, than work out extremely complex market manipulation schemes.
But the equation doesn't always work out like that. It isn't exactly hard to fix pricing and get away with it you know. Hell, it goes on every single day, and those not directly involved actually pay to read about it in market analysis reports, but they don't know what they're really looking at. That's not crucial to my point though.
In a formal duel (competition) the participants (market leaders) must agree on the rules of the engagement and adhere to them, without trickery or deceit or weasel word justifications for 'cheating', or the entire purpose of the engagement, honorable behavior to settle differences in a civilized way, is rendered impotent.
Just having 'competition' is less than useless if both parties aren't following the same rules, in the same way. Which, in the case of telecoms in British held European territories, is further away than solar panels being an economically viable form of power generation.
Those weasel words I mentioned earlier? Yeah, if those are in play before the engagement ever begins the engagement cannot, and will not, meet the requirements for an honorable competition. If BT, one of the most lopsided assaults on capitalism in the world, gets to pick its opponents, its competition, then there's really no point in even pretending that competition is a thing within their realm. This kind of thing is the same bullshit, bizzaro world thinking that led to the conclusion that democracy worldwide would be strengthened by destroying democracy in Iran and installing a dictator. It's just fucking stupid.
Before competition can be of use to you folks, something has to be done about BT. As long as they control your Parliament it's just a waste of money to go scribbling something in the field marked 'Competition'. Paying lip service to an idea never helps anything, and it almost always does more harm than doing nothing.
It's not a big place you know, and the fact that it takes national level action to even discuss the idea is a really good indicator something(s) royally (Ha! cause you guys have royalty, get it?) fucked up. The service area is small, there's little, even moderately rough terrain, you guys sorted out the whole 'crossing international borders' thing quite some time ago and you all speak the same language (mostly). Everything about this should be an easy win for some company. Jesus, BT isn't even rigging the system correctly. Everybody knows the big money is in rolling out the infrastructure and just cranking up rates on a perpetual basis. That way politicians have to support you or they'll be remembered by their constituents as 'the MP that lost the Internet'. God I hate BT.
At the end of the day, it would probably be cheaper, and certainly more entertaining, if instead of giving tax monies to BT, if you spent the money on beer, booze and beef and just strung the cables yourselves.
Re: Never going to work without competition
Downvoted because no way should BT Wholesale be nationalised. They aren't the infrastructure subsidiary - BT OpenReach is.
BT OpenReach absolutely should be a separate company and there might (just might) be a case made for that entity to be nationalised. But the track record of nationalised companies being fleet-of-foot in a fast-moving technological sphere is hardly stunningly successful so don't consider it a guarantted solution by a long chalk.
Also, remember, the issue here isn't so much about the extent of coverage, but knowing just where won't be covered so that other suppliers have a chance and won't be shafted if the goalposts are moved. Would a nationalised company really be more open ?? I remain to be convinced.
Re: Never going to work without competition
What MIGHT work is some kind of law change that gave anyone the right to - say - use BT ducting, or in fact to use a mole to lay conduit below someone else's agricultural land.
Line of sight from me to the exchange is about a mile and a quarter largely across open fields. I could hire a tractor and mole and a conduit layer and do the job in a week..even closer is a mast with a BT cabinet at its base and microwave antennae all over it.
The problem is wayleave and bureaucracy.
The reality of even laying a mains cable underground for a few hundred meters is weeks of planning and consultation, erection of safety barriers, etc etc. Do it on your OWN property (and I have) and its a matter of half a day with a small digger..
As with nuclear power stations, 2/3rds of the cost is the bureaucracy that must be complied with. and only about 10% is the actual cost of 'doing the actual job' with the remainder being probably necessary sign-age and H & S steps taken.
Underground work is estimated at something like £50k per kilometer on PUBLIC land. Three blokes and a digger can do that in three days - probably less than £3,000 - on PRIVATE land.
Shame really
Whilst BT claims it is making further concessions, this is not impacting on rural communities
Yes, this is unintended consequence on part of politicos and intended consequence on part of incumbents (well in the UK for sure that is, can't say 'bout US of A or elsewhere).
For why? Did I hear you ask?
THe multitude of sins by omission or commission or neglect by an once monopoly governanced into a low company under "privatisation" initiatives has a lot to protect and probably a lot to hide. Not for the sake of the authority-monopoly thingy but for the sake of its incumbents of the times.
Example: Local council cost savings. The first traunch of cuts probably aimed at retaining frontline services as a priority. The trouble is that if second traunch of cuts aim at retaining frontline services as a priority the public might be inclined to ask something like:
Hey dood! How did you manage all those cuts of 144 gazillion and still retain frontline and essential services better than before? Huh, huh?
But CEOs are CEOs and know that in order to save face over mismanagement of resources the second traunch must, absolutely and above all contain loss of essential and frontline services.
Besides, there is an election soon?
The UK government has completely screwed up...
Sale of Royal Mail? Roll out of rural broadband? Pretty much everything, in fact.
So not much of a news item.
Re: The UK government has completely screwed up...
Sale of Royal Mail? Roll out of rural broadband? Pretty much everything, in fact.
And yet we still have people like one of the earlier commentards demanding that BT (or parts of it) be nationalised to improve the roll-out. Amazing, ain't it?
Truth is no-one but a large monopolistic provider could ever have done what BDUK wanted. The wholesaling requirements were killer. These are areas where everyone will struggle to roll-out an upgrade and then Ofcom (rightly so) insist that the provider offer wholesale access to the network. So all that expense and you aren't even allowed a full return on your efforts. Ofcom and its 'margin squeeze test' were always waiting just round the corner to pounce.
No wonder the only contenders were large corporations with better access to external funding. Even then Fujitsu knew it wouldn't make sense unless it could take the entire pot and when that didn't transpire they backed out. So BT ended up doing it all because, basically, only BT can. Will it be value for money - dunno. Possibly not. But at least it's being done. I'm reasonably sure this was the only way it was ever going to happen and at least BT are a known operator as opposed to Fujitsu. Better the devil you know.
In hindsight - it would have been quicker to just give the money to BT and be done with it. The BDUK oversight and these committees might at least curb BT's worst behaviours.
Re: The UK government has completely screwed up...
Royal Mail sale was forced by EU regulation IIRC.
Nothing to do with the government. They merely rubber stamped the legislation already enacted in Brussels.
> Local authorities are still contractually prevented from sharing information
BT = mafia UK
Never was any, nor could there be any really!
Fujitsu premise was give the whole BDUK lot to us, which really doesn´t differ from BTs.
Politicians slag off politicians for getting it wrong?
So, these people who were happy to see it all happen in front of them - and maybe even voted for it - are now not happy?
Has competition not failed so much as not been the goose laying golden eggs after all. Were they expecting the same as the total dogs breakfast as cable TV where a fair bit of money was made very quickly followed by acquisitions and eventually a couple of top dogs?
The early days of BB were a nightmare with so many companies after a quick buck but providing absolutely shit service . Modems that came out of Kinder Eggs or Cornflake packets then blaming BT for isssues (no Tiscali weren't the only ones), World plus dog complaining of drop-outs and slow speeds when a closer look at traffic showed constant up trafffic and very little down - spam city usually due to original AntiV subs running out.
No-one wants to pay money to ensure (not even) remote places get decent speeds. Where's the quick profit in that? Best to moan at others instead.
They ARE about to spunk millions and millions on applying more plasters on our crap roads though.
I don't think the problem is so much competition as openness. Along with some forceful contractual negotiation.
In my rural area, a group of people started a project to lay fibre not just to my village but to all the farms and hamlets around. They worked out a business plan which basically meant they made enough money from the larger habitations (one small market town and a few large villages) to be able to fund the unprofitable isolated farms and hamlets.
Then BT came in and decided that the market town would go on the list for fibre! That killed the business case for the local plan completely. And it has not even been possible to find out exactly what coverage BT are proposing (or even a date for it)!
We need the government money to come with complete commercial openness about the project (coverage, costs, revenues, dates, etc -- if BT don't want to be open then they can choose not to take our money). And with a requirement that any money will come with a requirement to wire up every dwelling within a certain area (such as 15 miles around a town or something). And if BT don't want to do it on those terms but a local group do they should be able to get the money instead.
Re: Openness
Hmmm ... People organising their own local broadband sounds just what the country (UK) needs.
Re: Openness
In 4 concise, easily understood, paragraphs you have described exactly why BDUK is a problem for rural communities, not the solution.
Re: Openness
"And with a requirement that any money will come with a requirement to wire up every dwelling within a certain area (such as 15 miles around a town or something). And if BT don't want to do it on those terms but a local group do they should be able to get the money instead."
I think you've identified a large part of the problem.
Only one in seven houses that are passed by FTTx broadband take it up. The cost of the kit and labour and all that to install fibre broadband to a house is about £2K. At £15 a month or whatever the average rental is these days, that's going to take more than a decade to pay back, and that's ignoring ongoing running costs. If you insist that every house passed is connected, that £2K is now £14K and still being paid for by the 1 in 7 houses paying £15 a month.
From a market perspective - if fibre broadband was as important and life-changing as we're being told it would support a higher price in the market and take-up would be higher.
That's why no-one else is investing, even with the offer of government cash to help with some of the capital costs. How would you ever make a return? Who would lend you the money? You'd make more money, more safely, by just sticking the cash in the bank. I think in some cases a local co-op, run on a not for profit basis, is the only likely way to succeed because no business would go anywhere near this.
We've not managed, as a society, to extend sewers or mains gas out to very much of the rural population - and there's clearly a demand for those services in a much greater proportion of properties than 1 in 7. The only way to address market failure like this is for government to fund the infrastructure. Generally private businesses will make better use of those government funds because they have a financial incentive to increase productivity and reduce costs - that's not always true if a state enterprise were to take over.
Re: Openness @AC
Know the feeling, I couldn't help but laugh at the sentence "The politicos recommended that the DCMS, which is headed up by Secretary of State Maria Miller, should work "urgently" with local councils to publish detailed mapping of their implementation plans. Searches should be made available down to full (7-digit) postcode level, they said."
In my area, BT have just completed the installation of a new (empty) green cabinet. The Parish council know nothing (even though they would most probably have seen the planning application), the local council also know nothing and the local DCMS project team/co-ordinators know nothing, beyond my village being in the 2014/15 plan, and naturally BT themselves are releasing nothing...
So I know that my village will be getting FTTC (I'm assuming BT wouldn't install an FTTC cabinet just for the fun of it), just no idea of when...
Re: Openness
You're making an argument based on a misconception.
The rural broadband schemes are based on the idea of fibre to the cabinet, not to every individual house.
Fibre is digital. The modulated analogue signal over copper wire is the limiting factor. For me, the wire length drops by ¾, which is enough to notice. There's some wiggle-room from the cable routes between the exchange building and me. It could be a much bigger improvement. It could be a bit less.
The exchange-to-cabinet leg will release a lot of copper, it'll carry all the lines, voice and data, on fibre. But the hardware in the cabinet will need more room. and will need power. Unless you want to have all the phones fail when the mains supply goes down, that means a connection to the exchange, with its battery back-up.
It's hard to see how anyone can provide all this without a local hardware monopoly. And, after a lifetime of dealing with first the GPO. and then BT, and then with ISPs and alternative telcos, I'm left with the feeling that the industry is full of liars.
Re: Openness
The exchange-to-cabinet leg will release a lot of copper, it'll carry all the lines, voice and data, on fibre.
Wrong-o. FTTC uses VDSL2 for the data back to the fibre cabinet. There, the MSAN splits the voice off from whence it is looped off to the original cab to carry its merry way back over the original copper. Only the data gets sent off over the fibre.
Spend 30 seconds Googling, or look around the Kitz or Thinkbroadband sites and you'll soon find out how it works.
Re: Openness
Also the power backup for the FTTC cabinets is via internal batteries which are kept charged by the mains supply. They are sufficient to keep the broadband going for a few hours, but if the power is off for any longer, a portable generator will be required (which is, incidentally, how small telephone exchanges are powered if there's an extended outage).
Note that if/when we see fibre to the remote node (or whatever people care to call it), the small "mini-dslams that will run either VDSL of G.Fast are likely to be powered over the (short) copper loop from the customer's premises, thereby avoiding the need for mains power.
Re: Openness
ER fibre is no more and no less digital than the copper.
It simply uses higher carrier frequencies in the optical band, rather than the RF band...
Rural, talk about central london
I live in central london ( zone 2 ) and local ( 100m distance from the house as the crow flies ) exchange is enabled and upgraded for a year or more now. I still cannot get a "fibre optic" connection as the line is directly connected to the exchange and financially not viable to install a streetside cabinet. ( they have put a new cabinet in right next to the exchange as that area has virgin media so they want to compete there, but my street doesnt so no juicy profit to be taken away )
tempted to start digging and putting down my own cable to the exchange, then ring the so they only need to connect it
so talk about milking the system and monopoly
Re: You're an idiot.
Does BT provide VDSL connections over exchange connected lines? I suspect they don't, which means a limit of 24Mbps from ADSL2+ instead of VDSL's limit of 80-odd Mbps.
Re: You're an idiot.
If you're only 100m from the exchange, fibre-to-the-cabinet will make absolutely no difference what-so-ever.
That depends what you mean. If you mean that ADSL2+ at 100m is no better than FTTC then you're wrong. It's most likely that such a line would run considerably faster were it upgraded to FTTC.
However someone that close to the exchange might be on an EO line which means no cabinet in which case they won't be eligible for FTTC. BT have installed cabs in a few such places but by and large no-one really knows how EO lines are going to be dealt with.
Re: You're an idiot.
VDSL is not allowed over EO lines due to the ANFP, which is adminstered by the NICC. This sets power and frequency profiles which are designed to allow different services to co-exist by limiting cross-talk. The concern over running VDSL over EO lines is the possibility of conflict with ADSL (and, maybe a few other services which use carrier modulation). Similarly, you can't run ADSL from street cabinets.
The NICC is effectively a trade body controlling the technical rules for use on BT's copper network.
Re: You're an idiot.
my kind sir you are the idiot and quite uninformed.
FTTC can provide 3-4 times download speed and about 10 times the upload compared to the best ADSL2+ Annex M ( 22Mbit down and 2Mbit up )
Also they would need to sort out the mess of the cabling the have around here
( as a side note : the crow flies straight but my cable goes like a drunkard which means the cable length is about 500m )
Re: You're an idiot.
Your are right, also they have stated to me that the VDSL equipment cannot be installed in the exchange , it has to be in a cabinet....
bigger factor in a fibre connection is the upload speed difference
Re: You're an idiot.
Thanks for the explanation Steven Jones. I could never get my head around why BT/Openreach just didn't treat the exchange as a cabinet for VDSL.
Re: You're an idiot.
Like most things in telecommunications, there's usually a reason why things are the way they are, and often it's historical. That applies to lots of old infrastructure - for instance, if we were building the railways now, they wouldn't have the bottle-necks and load gauge restrictions that have been inherited. To the simple-minded, it all seems so easy to rip it up and start again, but it's never that simple.
Of all people, those involved in IT ought to know this. Any very large organisation will, over the years, have inherited a vast legacy of systems which is often not economic to just replace, and almost never possible to just change overnight. So it is with major bits of national infrastructure. Changes will tend to be evolutionary, not revolutionary. For long periods, old and new will co-exist
If people want some idea of what the problems are with grand national telecommunication projects in western countries, I'd invite them to look at the (highly politicised) Australian National Broadband Network, which was originally planned to bring FTTP to 93% of Australian properties (so didn't cover the really remote areas). Estimated costs escalated to $73bn (AUS) with timescales disappearing over the horizon. Following a strategic review, this is meant to be coming down to a "mere" $41bn (AUS) using a mixture of FTTP and FTTC. Of course, even suburban Australia is less densely populated than the UK, but bear in mind there are only about 40% of the number of premises.
So that approx £23bn for 10m properties rather puts the BDUK (and related) public broadband expenditure of about £1.4bn in perspective as it covers roughly the same number of premises in the intervention areas, and will deliver rather earlier.
Re: Rural, talk about central london
But will that actually make any difference to your life? Going from 20Mbps to 80Mbps is like a pay rise from £165K a year to £200K - nice, but so what, really?
Going from sub-1Mbps to 3Mbps is like going from £7K a year up to £20K - suddenly you really can get more out of life.

When/Where: 6 tonight, 1 p.m. Wednesday; PK Park, Eugene
Radio: KUIK (1360)
Records: Gonzaga (29-14-1); Oregon (26-24-1)
Probable starters: TBA
Noteworthy: Oregon junior second baseman Danny Pulfer was named the Pacific-10 Conference's player of the week after batting .565 (13 for 23) with two doubles, a homer, five runs scored, and four RBIs in fives games, pacing the Ducks to a 3-1-1 record.
Pulfer went 2 for 4 and scored a run in Sunday's 6-5 victory over Stanford at PK Park, pacing the Ducks to their second Pac-10 series win with his fifth consecutive multiple-hit game.
Tyler Chism's two-run double highlighted a five-run eighth inning Monday that carried Gonzaga to a 5-2 victory over Portland, helping the Bulldogs complete a three-game West Coast Conference sweep of the Pilots at Joe Etzel Field in Portland.
The Ducks have a 6-0 lead in the all-time series against Gonzaga and outscored the Bulldogs 26-12 in two games played last season in Spokane.

Park had long, level sites. Seems to need some more gravel or grooming in sites and some roads - looks a little worn. Nice ponds you can fish in. Nice lady checking us in. Easy to get off and on I-70. - padre

An overnight trip outside of Kansas City, MO was fine with us! The campground is nice, fairly clean with some amenities that our camping crew found useful! For starters, the showers were nice! I especially liked how it was nice to have your own little room, making it feel like you weren't actually in a public shower room. The pool and volleyball seemed nice, but we pulled in rather late, so really didn't use either one of them.
Wish we could have had more time to explore the campground, especially with the two ponds on site and the clubhouse. But again, fairly nice park and one that is great for an overnight trip - right off the highway and little to no traffic has been heard! Overall, I probably wouldn't stay here for an entire week, but nice enough for overnight. - crosscountrycollegian

What a great little park. The road noise is not too bad because the site is behind a building. The concrete pads are level. The owner is extremely nice. The cleanest shower & bath I think I've ever seen and a nice laundry. Country store in front with 200 plus cheeses, Amish foods, snacks, etc. Excellent hook up "house" by each site. I would definitely stay again. Class A, 35', towing a car. - DBKings

This is a park nestled in the trees with two lakes within the boundaries. The sites are close to primitive in design with electrical only. You will not get satellite service due to the tree coverage. This is a good park especially for rv's under 40' in length. Watch the tree branches driving in as they do not trim them on a regular basis. Most of the folks that use this park are campers and build a fire everyday. Be prepared for smoke throughout the day and night. - ranchoddellago

I stayed one night camping in a tent. My biggest complaint was the noise from the highway and the train line. If you camp with a trailer or RV you probably won't hear the noise as much as camping in a tent. The park ranger was very friendly and helpful.
Lots of green, lush Oak and Elm trees lined the meandering paths and roads. The small cottages were quaint and inviting.
The road was very easy to navigate since it was just a simple loop through the campground. The sites looked like grass, a small gravel pad surrounded by trees. - Tcaphou

We enjoyed our stay here and really have no complaints. They only have electrical hookups, but there is a dump station on your way out and water faucets located here and there throughout the park to fill your tanks. Each site has a picnic table, a post to hang a lantern, and a fire pit. Restroom and shower areas were well maintained and park itself was kept up. There are 5 or 6 designated "family campsites" if you need more space. A lot of lake access within the park for fishing and walking trails. Nice quiet park. We would definitely camp there again. - Dena2013

Upon arriving we noted that this was a "Holiday" level KOA and they had been awarded the 'Founders Achievement Award' for 2016. We thought this was going to be a good experience: how wrong we were!
We requested a site with no trees. When we checked in, we were escorted to our site which was a small forest. We requested another site but were told that's all there is and they would be glad to refund our money. It was late in the afternoon, I was ill and it was about to start raining. Where were we supposed to go?
The site was so out of level that it took us 90 minutes and lots of blocking to get our coach level. The utilities were so far apart that we couldn't hook up the sewer - even with an extension hose. Since there was a utility pole with a very large electrical panel next to us we couldn't extend out canopy. The guy wire for the power pole was only inches from our steps so we had to side step around it.
The wi-fi was useless. Most times we couldn't find it, if found we had a difficult time connecting, if connected it was painfully slow and we we're often knocked off.
Finally, the highway noise is very loud: even when inside the closed coach with the A/C running. - Rd yacht

Definitely a "have/have not" campground. We were in the have not section with no trees at all, but the pull-thrus closer to the bathrooms and pool had beautiful huge trees to shade them.
They do have two wonderful pet runs and a huge grassy area for group tent camping (but no trees).
Insist on being near the bathrooms so you get a shaded spot. - Scldg

A vast park with long term and overnight sites. Back in's and pull thru's. My site was long enough to fit my 40' Class A and my 18' trailer still attached. The site was not real level, but I was able to level my rig enough for my needs. Sites are shaded, FHU, 30/50A services. No cable. OTA signals from Kansas available though. My site was close to one of the lakes so that I could see the local geese wander from lake to grass each morning and evening. The pool is about the size of two large olympic-sized pools!!! It has a gradual slope into the pool mimicking a beach, but it is pool surface, not sand. The pool surround needs some upkeep performed, so you are not permitted on the sides to be able to dice into the 9 foot deep end of the pool. There is a fee of $2.00/person/day for use of the pool from 11AM to 7PM daily. There is a mini-golf course that is also fee-based for $5.00/pair of players. The mini-golf course needs some upkeep and maintenance also, but it was still fun to play! The condition of the park is a state of upkeep and in need of maintenance. The location is convenient to Kansas City amenities and the Royals stadium. I would stay here again if in the area.
Sayid is the name of the host. He is very friendly but is overwhelmed with campground management. He escorts you to your camp site. - kihei7

Don't attempt to access this park in a Class A motorhome or a big rig. It's quite a distance from the highway with low hanging branches. Campground is difficult to get into and to maneuver around. It's dusty. Sites are not level. I wouldn't classify this as a resort. - Sunshine Camper

The lakeside spots are a bit tight but very nice and most have fresh gravel, level pads. Like may RPI Parks this has seen better days. But the owner is working hard to upgrade and spruce up for the season, but it has a ways to go. Biggest challenge is that it virtually no Verizon cell or Wi-Fi service. So, you are kind of out of touch. Not necessarily bad, depending on your needs. - MarkD
