Why there is NO Broadband Internet for Mecklenburg County

We asked the Office of Economic Development for Mecklenburg County why we could not get any assistance from them or the County Board, et al.
Here's the response we got:

I was told by the Planning Commission that a 501 (c)(12) company, which is a non-profit, has developed a plan for the entire planning district for deployment. They are applying for a variety of funding. In fact this company will cover 15 counties. This plan has been in the works for over a year and one application for funding will be submitted next week and another in about 30 days. Therefore there is no need for the County to get involved at this point.

Part 1 Here's the real story and our answer:
Your reply shows an extreme lack of knowledge of the broadband internet technology and the County residents' desire to have some choices above substandard dialup and satellite broadband. This lack of knowledge or perhaps motivation has been displayed by your office, Southside Planning and the County Board of Supervisors. Let's be upfront about the big mystery, the company you wish not to identify is clearly Buggs Island Telephone. We are well aware of them receiving FCC licensing in 15 counties.
Yes, they do have the license for the 700Mhz frequency. However, that does not mean they can provide 100% coverage to all areas of all 15 counties. The technology they plan to use has the same effective coverage radius as our current 900MHz operations. However, the new equipment Buggs.net is planning on using is still in it's design infancy and at present there is only one manufacturer of 700 equipment. Buggs.net has no past experience with wireless broadband at present, except for a brief "experiment" that ended in removing it. This is not to say they can't do the job, but putting all your trust in just one provider is unwise when there are 2 small business operators already serving Mecklenburg County. These businesses grew out of a similar story by the County Supervisors years ago. "Don't worry, Verizon will provide broadband to our entire area". You know first hand that has not happened. Why aren't incumbent broadband providers extended ANY opportunity to expand our coverage?
If you look around you, there is an entire generation of young people that have broadband internet access at school, but none at home. They are very internet savvy and also understand that having only one source for broadband service is not in the best interest of wise consumers. Either you gladly accept that children are off the internet at home for the summer & after school or you and the County are willingly ignoring the growing demand of the people who have kids. Regardless of age, the internet is already expected by the school system, small business and even government agencies like DMV. All of you fail to realize there is no opportunity to develop any enriched education, diverse prosperity and economic attraction if this continues to be the policy in this County.

Part 2
- Would you settle or live in an area with just one cellular service or one phone service company? I doubt it.
- Would you stay in an area with no forward thinking when it comes to telecom/IT policy? Growing numbers are NOT.
Your reply also shows that your office and the County have no interest in supporting existing small business within the County to meet common sense economic expansion. The main thrust of the State Broadband Initiative was to work with existing companies in partnerships. This apparently is something the county does not want or does not care to understand.
The complacent attitude of your reply and our past attempts to partner with the County are a prime example of one of the main reasons businesses avoid this county. Consider that EDS had to import 80% of its' IT personnel to staff the Clarksville location. It clearly shows the lack of qualified IT labor in the County. You add the fact that an overall majority commute from North Carolina because they would not buy a home where there was no broadband & that might make a pragmatic leadership reconsider its' policies. Perhaps someday the county will move into the 21st century and actually listen to willing business partners. We are the only County in our State Senate District that doesn't have a basic functional website. Maybe someone noticed, but I doubt it. On the "County" website Transportation lists Huss Trucking and they have been closed for over 2 years! I would suggest that you check some of the surrounding Counties to see what their websites offer! The current Mecklenburg County website is so outdated and pointless, it's a pathetic embarrassment, not an attraction. Meanwhile the County will continue to have numerous empty "Industrial Parks" and failed bids to develop revenue throughout the county. Do you, or Mr. Carter, or other Board members wonder why businesses aren't interested in locating or staying here?
Mr. Crosby and myself would have liked an opportunity to meet and discuss County Broadband policy. We were never offered a fair chance, or any chance, even after making numerous requests in good faith. I have to assume you and Mr. Carter think we take this treatment lightly and won't educate the public about "Why can't you provide us broadband service here"?
Once educated with the truth, How long do you think residents will remain silent due to your collective broadband apathy & ignorance?

Growing up in a small community, you realize that you are in fact living in a time warp. The more things change [anywhere but Southside], the more they are the same [as they have always been in Southside].
It doesn't matter who complains or questions the powers that be. Got to get out with the old and in with the new. Unfortunately new bloods in a small town, tend to hold the same opinions as their older counterparts. They like the small town community feel and the control that comes with that responsibility.
Good luck with your quest.

This is so true. I live in Union Level and would love to purchase anything but dial-up. My 14 year old has a great laptop that the school system provided but alas he cant use it at home because we cant get the wireless cards the school system was to provide and we dont have home internet because Satellite internet is too expensive and dial up is too frustrating. Thank you Board of Supervisors for caring so much!

The International Olympic Committee is to examine claims that He Kexin, the Chinese gymnast who won gold on the uneven bars on Monday, is too young to compete in the Games.
The Chinese authorities have denied the allegation that He is in fact 14-years-old, saying her passport, which was issued in February, proves she is 16 –her date of birth is given as 1 January 1992 and therefore at the age at which female gymnasts are allowed to compete in the Games. But the IOC last night said that it was to open an official inquiry, which could result in He being stripped of her medals.
"More information has come to light that did point to discrepancies," said Giselle Davies, an IOC spokesperson. "We have asked the gymnastics federation to look into it further with the national Chinese federation. If there is a question mark, and we have a concern – which we do – we ask the governing body of any sport to look into... as to why there is a discrepancy."
He, who stands 4ft 8in and weighs 5st 2lb, won gold in the team event as well alongside Jiang Yuyuan and Yang Yilin, who have both also had their ages queried. Previous documents listed them as 14 – they are now on official records as being 16.
Concerns about He's age have been expressed since before the Games began, but following her stunning success on the uneven bars on Monday, when she finished ahead of Nastia Liukin of the US – with Britain's Beth Tweddle in fourth – they have intensified. Two official Chinese gymnastic websites had given He's date of birth as 1994 before they were both "blocked."
After China won the team gold Martha Karolyi, the US coach, implied that the Chinese gymnasts were still losing their baby teeth. But He insists she has every right to compete in Beijing. "My real age is 16," she said. "I don't care what other people say. I want other people to know that 16 is my real age."

Memories of the 1986 Masters never gets old for Nicklaus
By Tim Wharnsby
AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - Jack Nicklaus called the embrace with his oldest son Jackie, after his magical ride through the pines at Augusta National 30 years ago, perhaps the most memorable moment of his legendary career.
Jackie was 24 and was on Nicklaus' bag for that unexpected 1986 Masters win that crowned the Golden Bear's career.
As the two walked off the 18th green in the Georgia twilight, they didn't know Greg Norman would bogey his closing hole to finish a shot behind and make the 46-year-old Nicklaus the oldest ever Masters winner.
Recalling what led up to the emotional embrace – an incredible final round 65, in which Nicklaus played the final 10 holes in seven-under-par – never gets old for the six-time Masters winner.
"Time passes so fast," Nicklaus said on Tuesday, before attending the Champions Dinner. "Seems like it was just yesterday we walked off the 18th green and Jackie and I gave each other a hug, which to me is probably my most memorable moment in golf, having your son on the bag and being able to share that with him.
"That was a great time and great fun." Nicklaus relied on his son to read putts that week. He likes to tell the story about how Jackie helped him with the 12-foot birdie putt on his 71st hole. Jackie saw a break to the right.
Nicklaus saw the putt going left. They compromised and he made his final birdie to send a mighty roar around Augusta National.
Nicklaus hasn't competed at the Masters since 2005, but he will be there alongside three-time winner Gary Player early Thursday morning in their roles as Honorary Starters. Arnold Palmer, 86, is expected to be at the first tee, too. But it was announced last month, he won't hit a ceremonial tee shot for the first time since 2007. Continued...

Blessed with idyllic white-sand, sun-kissed beaches and some of the best diving and snorkelling in the world, the Cayman Islands are three distinct islands in one destination.
From sophisticated Grand Cayman to adventurous Cayman Brac and tranquil Little Cayman, the Cayman Islands are one of the best places in the world to indulge in romance, recreation and relaxation.
Cosmopolitan Grand Cayman
Of the three Cayman islands, Grand Cayman is the biggest and liveliest, offering understated, barefoot elegance. Sink your toes in the sugar-white sand of Seven Mile Beach, one of the longest beaches in the Caribbean. Or go deep on a submarine dive and see the colourful coral and abundant marine life without even getting your feet wet.
In the capital, George Town, indulge in urban offerings such as duty-free shopping, fine restaurants, and nightlife. Or spend a 'day at the Bay', the cosmopolitan new development at Camana Bay, Grand Cayman's newest hotspot.
Experience Caribbean-inspired architecture, lush landscaping and worldclass shopping including an eclectic mix of international brands and local boutiques, luxury skincare, cosmetics and stylish home décor.
Endless culinary delights include dining alfresco on fresh, flavoursome dishes from award-winning chefs. The Observation Tower offers 360-degree views of Grand Cayman and for an even more breathtaking view take a helicopter tour.
All this and there's plenty more to see and do on this vibrant island.
Where to stay
Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman is a 144-acre high-end playground on Seven Mile Beach offering tennis pros, five excellent restaurants, and luxurious Colonial-inspired rooms with beautifully carved four-poster beds. All this, yet the hotel feels surprisingly sanctuary-like, where you can enjoy glorious sunrise and sunset views. The Silver Rain La Prairie spa, considered one of the best in the Caribbean, is sleek and contemporary. Indulge yourself with a decadent massage, a La Prairie facial, or body scrub using local sea salt. This is the place to relax and indulge and have everything you could possibly desire brought to you by genuine, friendly staff (ritzcarlton.com).
If you prefer more privacy, Grand Cayman has an increasingly sophisticated collection of small hotels and self-catering options dotted all over the island. Cotton Tree is a collection of four candy-coloured beachfront cottages on the little-known, rural Barkers Beach peninsula on the island's West Bay. Luxuries include beachside spa treatments, Egyptian cotton sheets, Elemis products and lush, private tropical gardens. Hire a personal chef to make you a romantic dinner for two (caymancottontree.com).
There are also over 100 stunning beachside villas and apartments for the discerning visitor (caymanvillas.com).
Inspired dining
After a day at the beach or shopping you'll be spoilt for choice with over 150 exceptional places to eat.
The Cayman Islands' culinary scene is buzzing with new restaurants, many nestled along the waterfront of Camana Bay - the place to see and be seen. Grand Cayman has earned a well deserved reputation as one of the Caribbean's premiere destinations for dining with stylish cuisine at hip eateries. Unwinding with a good meal can range from five-star cuisine enjoyed in a private dining cabana, to casual seaside venues and al fresco pre or post-dinner cocktails.
Island hopping
For the ultimate escape, hop over by plane to Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. Fascinating shipwrecks for divers, tranquil nature trails and secluded beaches greet guests who dream of getting away from it all.
A comfortable, direct flight away from Heathrow, the Cayman Islands are the ultimate destination for a sophisticated and romantic getaway.
Your little piece of paradise awaits.

BeschreibungThis book provides a self-contained and rigorous introduction to calculus of functions of one variable, in a presentation which emphasizes the structural development of calculus. Throughout, the authors highlight the fact that calculus provides a firm foundation to concepts and results that are generally encountered in high school and accepted on faith; for example, the classical result that the ratio of circumference to diameter is the same for all circles. A number of topics are treated here in considerable detail that may be inadequately covered in calculus courses and glossed over in real analysis courses.

Continuity and Limits.
Applications of Differentiation.
Elementary Transcendental Functions.
Applications and Approximations of Riemann Integrals.

European Markets Rise Despite Possible U.K. Debt Rating Downgrade
Current Futures: Dow +10.00, S&P +0.60, NASDAQ +0.50
European markets and U.S futures are trading in the green, even though Asian markets closed the session lower, marking the second consecutive week of declines.
In Europe, banks continued to post strong gains, but car-manufacturers traded mixed, as the truck division of Volvo posted a second consecutive quarterly loss, while also reducing its year-end forecast. In Asia, the markets turned lower as the Japanese financial institutions posted significant losses, despite the huge rally seen on Wall Street on Thursday. Mizuho, Japan's second largest bank posted a huge $5.9 billion loss, while the market expected positive results for the first quarter.
"To make things worse, Mitsubishi and Sumitomo Financial Groups, the first and the third largest banks, are also expected to post significant losses in the first quarter. It looks like, after Japan's lost decade of the 90's, a new one may be presenting itself" TheLFB-Forex.com Trade Team said.
The last few hours have been relatively calm in the financial markets. The only important report that has appeared, and which is likely to produce some huge changes, was of U.K's debt rating being under review. The major rating agencies, Moody's and S&P, are reviewing the country's AAA rating, since public finance is falling apart at a substantial rate. This is in-line with TheLFB-Forex.com Trade Team's view, which over the past few weeks has questioned the U.K.'s public finance policy and raised some questions about the huge deficit.
Furthermore, a report showed today that the U.K. economy contracted 1.9% in the first quarter, something that creates additional pressure. Until now, a number of European countries have already seen their debt rating downgraded, including Spain, Greece, Portugal and Ireland.
Today, there are just a few important earnings scheduled, including 3M, Ford, Honeywell International, ITT Corporation and Xerox.
Overnight, the Nikkei fell 139.02 points (1.57%) to 8,707.99. The Australian S&P/Asx declined 30.70 points (0.82%) to 3,712.30. The U.K. Ftse rose 29.43 points (0.73%) to 4,047.66, while the German Dax added 26.55 points (0.59%) to 4,564.76.
Crude oil for May delivery was recently trading at $49.90 per barrel, up by $0.30.
Gold for May delivery was recently trading up by $6.00 to $912.60.

- Publisher's Summary
- Drain three pointers, slam dunk easily, and sink that buzzer-beater from half court with the help of simple science. Your coach, physicist John J. Fontanella, shows how you can improve your game if you take advice from Isaac Newton. As you read, relive some of the great moments in the game - this time with a scientist and diehard basketball fan as your color analyst. Find out why you ought to put spin on the ball. Get tips on how to improve your free throw and increase your percentage from the charity stripe. You'll even learn how to shatter the backboard, if that's something you've always dreamed of doing. With photographs and simple high school formulas, physics professor Fontanella - who played in college against Pittsburgh and Syracuse - reveals the key pieces of physics that underscore basketball. He covers almost every aspect of the game, weaving in stories from games he's played and games he's seen, and tales from basketball history and folklore. Physics comes alive as you see how Kobe Bryant, Wilt "the Stilt" Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Becky Hammon, and J. J. Reddick do naturally the things that Isaac Newton says they should.

You could spend hundreds of dollars on expensive hand made creams from around the world, but you wouldn't come close to the great properties of this shaving cream. The mint is subtle, not overpowering, and perfect on a hot summer day. This cream is comparable to Italian made Proraso at less than half the cost, but works even better. It doesn't look like much, but one squirt applied to a good shaving brush will whip up enough lather to cover your face at least 5 times. I highly recommend this product.

Husband says this works as good as the more expensive shave cream he has been using. Light mint fragrance. Will purchase again.
Smells great!!

This stuff is awesome. It lathers nice and always creates a clean shave on my legs. It does leave a weird sticky skin feeling on my legs so after I always make sure I wash my body again with another body wash.
A little goes a long way

Discovered this brand on a trip to Canada and delighted I can get it delivered to the UK as I am unable to use many shaving products as I find them irritating to my skin. This one is excellent and lasts a long time and I very much recommend it.

It shaves well but doesn't feel great. It's okay. In terms of feeling, I prefer the gel. But, the fact that this product is vegan, cruelty-free, biodegradable, I'll continue to use and will reorder.

Hi guys.
I just can't figure out what the appropriate age group my book is geared to. It's about a real character of a granny told through the eyes of her granddaughter.
Granny McGrath is on a quest to find love and has asked Polly and her mum to help her. It's quite a funny book (I hope) but my problem is that I don't know whether to bring in teenage angst subplots (I think Polly is around twelve) or to concentrate mainly on Granny. Any ideas? Would be much appreciated. I've included a small description of Granny just for you to get an idea of writing style.
Outside, leaned my pint-sized Nan, bony hand on hip, string of garlic around her neck and bright red beret on her head. She swung her long silver plait over her shoulder like a scarf. "Ooh la la, ees Granny McGrath!" she said in an atrocious French accent.

|Reviews for Chuck vs the Midnight Clear
| uplink2 chapter 1 . 11/8/2013
I love finding these great old stories.
| Selonianth chapter 1 . 5/1/2013
I'm fairly sure that if he HAD gone up to her and told her he'd gone back and seen it, for the record he was not kneeling at the time, they would have talked and all would have been well. Not a massive blow-up and then fixing it.
| s-david-m chapter 1 . 10/15/2012
A little messed up, but Chuck wasn't wrong to be upset with her. He put his trust in her and just wanted a little honesty.
| NickyR chapter 1 . 4/3/2009
i have to say that i kind of like the side where chuck can be a jerk, and then sarah shows her true feelings! great story
| Fire From Above chapter 1 . 1/22/2009
I liked the angst. Good job.
| whatever132 chapter 1 . 12/24/2008
Wow, this was really powerful stuff. I really loved this. I don't know if Chuck would ever do that, taking the bracelet back, but it created a great moment there.
| jagged1 chapter 1 . 12/24/2008
I think I gulped in a breath when he asked for the bracelet back. You had us dangling over the pit of angst, but managed to grab us by the heels and pull us back by the end...: )
Well done!
| 1520173 chapter 1 . 12/23/2008
If Chuck weren't such a dip-wad, I might actually have felt sorry for him.
Altogether a great piece. You never disappoint.
| Owl Emporium chapter 1 . 12/23/2008
I LOVED that! It was beautiful, and so sad... I seriously wanted to kill Chuck. I have a weapon too, in front of me (a pen, I wouldn't REALLY have a gun). Great job! :D
| nattylovesjordy chapter 1 . 12/23/2008
HAHA! I loved the Casey and Ellie parts. I found those quite comical, which is a great way to jumpstart the morning!
| OldDarth chapter 1 . 12/23/2008
Good job! I must say I find it difficult to believe that Chuck would ask for the bracelet back.
| tshdow chapter 1 . 12/22/2008
Different, plausible, good.
| fAteD lOvE chapter 1 . 12/22/2008
WOW, best post-Chuck vs the santa claus fic to be written yet! :)
Chuck demanding the bracelet back was a really powerful scene and gesture, I had to read back to see if I read it correctly, although Chuck maybe wouldn't actually do that, because he's not THAT cruel, I can imagine him being a jerk.
Have I mentioned I love Ellie and how she poured water all over Chuck?
And basically, I love this fic lol mirculously unlike most fics, it wasn't a tad OOC the way you had Chuck admit he loved her and Sarah to think that.
Hope this actually happens in episode 12...
| jessclifton chapter 1 . 12/22/2008
Oh gosh as usual you deliver another awesome fic! I love how everyone pulled together to get Chuck off his ass and see how stupid he was. A really, really great fic. Can't wait to see what you come up with next :)
| rafiela chapter 1 . 12/22/2008
great story. i seem to be saying that a lot more often nowadays. :P

Zambia is regarded by many as one of the last true wildernesses and this continent's greatest secret.
From the mighty Victoria Falls to the world renowned National Parks of the Luangwa and Zambezi Valleys there are incredible opportunities to explore and a vast range of habitats, species, terrain and natural wonders.
Visitor numbers are small - Zambia is not on the main 'tourist trail'. Her vast areas of pristine wilderness have remained unchanged for millennia and the opportunity to explore these areas and to see the wildlife that inhabits them without having to share the experience with too many others is a privilege hard to find these days.
Norman Carr, the pioneer of the walking safari said that from a vehicle you can see Africa but when on foot you experience and feel Africa. You become part of the landscape, no longer just a spectator.
Conservation and creating opportunities in our local community remain priorities, and guiding is still based on the principles that Norman developed. We are all proud to continue in his footsteps and carry on his legacy.
The guides in Zambia, particularly Luangwa Guides, are renowned as the best in Africa; two guides from the Luangwa Valley have come first or second in Wanderlust's Guide of the World Awards including our very own Abraham Banda in 2010.
The guiding team at Norman Carr Safaris is widely regarded as one of the most experienced and knowledgeable in Zambia - many were trained by Norman Carr himself. The Company has set up and is committed to a program of guide exchanges allowing us to expand our knowledge by experiencing similar wilderness operations both in other Parks in Zambia and also around the world such as Knight Inlet, Canada.
Every visitor to Zambia will leave with memories of the friendly welcome they received. It's a big country – bigger that France but with a population of only around 13 million (UN 2010).
There are many different tribes and speak many different languages but the official language is English and the overriding attitude is one of great happiness and friendliness.

"I loved that creating my announcement was quick and easy. This moving announcement is a cute way to share our transition with friends and family. I especially love the colors and lettering font."
"Only thing I don't like about this card (and most others on Tiny Prints) is the limited text fields. It'd be nice to be able to personalize things more than just the recommended text, but ah well. The quality of this card is great and i love it."
"Honestly, I'm not sure what was better... how easy it was to design the exact card I wanted for our family or how perfect it was when it showed up in the mail. I sent them out over a month ago and I'm still getting calls from random family members about what a lovely little photo card it was. The only complaint I would have is that it was shipped to my old address, but truly that was probably my error. I will use Tiny Prints again and again, and I take every opportunity to suggest them to my friends and family."

In fact a profitable wine industry developed at Lilydale in the 19th century on the back of the rich red volcanic soils of the area. It got under way with the planting of the Yarra Valley's first vines in 1838 at Yering station to the north (see entry on Yarra Glen). The pioneers in this respect were William Ryrie, Paul de Castella and Baron de Pury.
In 1856 a small number of locals petitioned the government to allow the formation of a local council. In fact Lilydale was constituted as a district and the Upper Yarra Roads Board was constituted that year (it did not hold its first meeting until 1862), bringing some form of local administration although Lilydale shire was not formed until 1872.
The name Lilydale was taken from Lilly, the daughter of Paul de Castella, although locals changed the spelling to accord with the spelling of the flower which presumably seemed more poetic. By the start of the 1880s wine-growing was thriving, as was the lime industry. Locals lobbied successfully for the extension of the Melbourne railway which arrived at Lilydale in 1882. However, the disease known as phylloxera hit Australian vines late in the century and closed all the vineyards. It was not until quite recently that the industry began to thrive once again. Today, boutique wines are a specialty of the area where the vineyards trend to be quite small, owing to the price of land. There are also a number of orchards, along with berry, herb and lavender farms. The population, in the 1996 census, was 10 694.
David Mitchell, the father of famous operatic diva Dame Nellie Melba, was one of the largest landholders in the area. He owned a dairy, a bacon factory and once built a 16-km tramway to convey firewood to his lime kilns. Dame Nellie (1861-1931) maintained her connection with the area during her adulthood. While in Australia, and particularly after her retirement, she passed time in the hills and had a retreat at Coldstream (5 km north of Lilydale). When she died large crowds lined the streets of the funeral procession which conveyed her from Melbourne to Lilydale where it was met by a guard of honour who conveyed the hearse to a gun carriage and from there to the Lilydale cemetery where she was laid to rest in a family plot.
The Lilydale Agricultural and Horticultural Show is one of the state's largest such shows outside of Melbourne. It is held in November. The Lilydale Antique Fair and Art Exhibition is held at Jean Eales Pavilion at 27-29 Market St at the outset of October. At Wandin, 10 km south-east of Lilydale on the Warburton Highway, the Victorian Cherry Festival falls in December and the Wandin Field Days are held at the Wandin East Reserve in October. The Coldstream Country and Western Festival is held in February.

moxieblue2 Review
Where's the rest?
This bracelet is very disappointing. The color was advertised as brown/chocolate and I had ordered it to mate with a chocolate pearl necklace. Like the necklace this is not at all brown or chocolate. The item is copper orange in color. Very disappointing. And even more disappointing was that it is only one loop of what is displayed in the photo. The photo suggests that you will get a bracelet with 3 loops of pearls wrapped on your wrist. What you get is one loop/row of pearls for your wrist and the others must be purchased as individual/separate bracelets. Very deceptive. I would not have bought this item had I known that what I was getting did not have 3 rows of pearls.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Deceptive
- How accurate was the sizing? deceptive
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. good

Let's Go to Planet Space!
A short story about two friends having a the silliest discussion about space.
"Let's go to Planet Space!"
My friend looked over at me with a look that said 'are you feeling okay?' before responding dryly, "Space isn't a planet. Space has planets in it but it's not an actual planet in its own right."
Was he daft? "What are you talking about, Space is a vacuum, how can it have stuff in it?"
He buried his hand in his face mockingly. I smirked seeing that he was so confident I was wrong, but he was only going to make a fool of himself. Then he took a moment to try to formulate a reply. "Do you even know what a vacuum is?"
"Yeah! It's something that has nothing inside it. And it sucks stuff up. That's how vacuum cleaners suck stuff up, because they're empty and it really wants to fill the space-"
"You're kind of right," My friend interrupted. "But space isn't completely empty. It has little pockets of 'stuff' in it. Stars, nebulas, planets..."
"-such as Planet Space." I replied surely. Why he couldn't grasp that simple concept I have no idea.
Aha! My friend looked completely stumped. He stuttered and stammered while trying to think up a reply, his face contorting in confusion. "There's no planet called Space, dude! Space is just the empty gaps between the objects in space."
"Prove it!" I demanded. If he was going to make such outlandish claims, I needed to see some backup. "Prove that there is no Planet Space!"
"I... you know what, forget it." My friend got up off the bench and finished his can of soda before throwing it in the trash. "This debate is ridiculous!"
"Ha! You can't prove it! You just don't want to admit it!"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." My friend walked away in shame. I knew from the start that he was going to make a fool of himself trying to debate that there was no Planet Space. I just didn't realise that I would win this debate so quickly this time.

You may be able to fix the ErrorDocument problem by adding a second RewriteCond to your first rule:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/error
Also, change the RewriteRule substitution URL to use the non-www domain!
There are several othe problems in this code. Get the DocumentRoot problem fixed, and then let's proceed with the rest.
There appears to be a bug in mod_dir which causes problems when the DocumentRoot has a trailing slash (i.e., "DocumentRoot /usr/web/") so please avoid that.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [%1...] [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule (.*) http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
Other than that, the post above was simply pointing out that this rule invokes a client redirect, and not a server-internal rewrite. Since mod_rewrite and regular expression patterns are so picky about every little character being correct, those of us who deal with it a lot like to use precise terminology to make things as clear and correct as possible... :)
I am not impressed that a so-called "Search Engine Friendly" component makes such a problem for the site.
Then again I have a very low opinion of everything Joomla! It's a poorly implemented pile of junk.
A URL that ends with a trailing / is a folder, or a call for the index file within a folder. It is itself not directly a file.

When speaking to customers or other groups about their businesses, executives should keep it simple and jargon-free, a strategy expert told attendees of the Dell Women's Entrepreneur Network conference in Austin.
Andy Craig, co-founder of the Elevator Speech Inc., discouraged the use of complicated PowerPoint presentations and told executives during his presentation on Sunday to learn the most simple language possible to describe what they do. He also suggested executives pre-test their language to figure what resonates with listeners and to concentrate on what matters to potential customers instead of what matters to them.
He said the important details of any presentation should up front instead of toward the end. The storytelling strategy is one that has been used by newspaper reporters for centuries and it's still applicable in today's business plan presentations, he said.
Round Rock-based Dell Inc., which employs 14,000 workers in Central Texas, established the Women's Entrepreneur Network in 2009. About 150 people attended the three-day event over the weekend at the W Hotel downtown.
On Sunday evening, Dell Chief Marketing Officer Karen Quintos hosted three CEOs to discuss several topics such as instilling certain values in a company's culture.
"I think culture is the most important piece of your business," said Jane Wurwand, CEO of California-based Dermalogica Inc. "You build it in."
Anasuya Gupta, chairwoman of India-based Cico Technologies Ltd. agreed.
"We don't compromise our values for commercial returns," she said.
Regarding the influence of technology on business, Alexis Maybank, co-founder of the New York-based Gilt Groupe Inc., said it was crucial for his company, considering it does 65 percent of its business during a 90-minute period every day, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Technically, Tulagi is not a punk club. About half the time, the smallish space -- which celebrated its 25th anniversary last year -- is booked by the staff that operates the Fox Theatre next door. But a couple nights a week, the calendar belongs to indie promoter Mike Barsch, who draws on his years of running Denver punk staple the Raven to enlist an impressive revolving roster of up-and-coming indie-rock and punk artists. Death Cab for Cutie, Mars Volta, the Icarus Line and the Alkaline Trio are among the underworld heavyweights who've come to town at Barsch's invitation, much to the delight of the all-ages crowds who regularly pack the place. Local punk bands get their fair share of stage time as well; as the operator of Soda Jerk Records, Barsch has long been a supporter of area acts. In some circles, he's the reigning king of the hill.
No bones about it: Over the past few years, the Denver Blues and Bones Festival has grown into a great weekend. There are much bigger festivals -- the Taste of Colorado, the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, the People's Fair -- and much smaller neighborhood fairs, but Blues and Bones is just the right size, every inch and minute packed with great blues music from a variety of national acts and finger-licking good barbecue from both amateur and professional locals. Cross your fingers that the atmosphere survives a relocation from the Golden Triangle to Invesco Field at Mile High; see for yourself at this year's event Memorial Day weekend, May 24-26.
Barry, Barry, Barry: How can we miss you if you won't go away? Last summer, in a battle plan that rivaled the Invasion of Normandy for buildup and strategizing -- although the plans for D-Day were kept secret -- longtime concert promoter Barry Fe re-entered the fray, joining up with House of Blues (the outfit he sold his concert-promotions company to four years ago) to take on Clear Channel for Colorado's concert business.
Many tried, but after several area runs of The Vagina Monologues, it was local chanteuse Hazel Miller who really shone among the guest actors participating in touring versions of the acclaimed show. Monologues typically pairs local female celebrities -- swimmer Amy Van Dyken and radio DJ Nina Blackwood are examples -- with professional actors to perform the various readings, which range from moving to funny to serious. Miller's eight standing-room-only performances at the Boulder Theater raised the roof, though, so much so that she was asked to return to the role when the show comes back in August 2002. And that's something we can all shout about.
As part of the Denver's Public Library's Special Readings Project, children's librarian Heath Rezabek held a birthday party last fall for Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, two of the heroes in J.R.R. Tolkien's masterful books on Middle Earth, followed by a ten-week reading of The Fellowship of the Ring, book one in Tolkien's trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Rezabek, who abridged the book himself for purposes of the reading, held a similar series the year before for The Hobbit, the trilogy's prelude, and he plans to follow up with the final two books in the next two years. Although the readings are scheduled to coincide with the three Rings movies, Rezabek's goal is to help kids of all ages use their own imaginations rather than Hollywood's, and to introduce a new generation of fans to Hobbitdom. No special effects needed.
Call her madam! Lou Bunch ran the most successful whorehouse in Central City back in the days when the mining town was known as the "Richest Square Mile on Earth." These days, it could be the saddest square mile on earth, since Central City's plan to mine the wallets of would-be gamblers was blocked by nearby Black Hawk, which literally moved mountains to make sure that its big casinos would snag all the suckers before they could head farther up the hill. As a result, though, Central City has managed to retain some of its classic character -- and you'll never see more classic characters than at Lou Bunch Days. Held every Father's Day weekend, the festival features includes bed races up and down Main Street (complete with appropriately attired female riders), costume contests and a dance; a recent, unofficial addition to the lineup is the return of many old Zekes, Central City residents who were frightened away or pushed away by gambling but return for this wild, wacky weekend. "It's a great time to be in Central City," says Lew Cady, publisher of the Little Kingdom Come newspaper ("published whenever we damn well feel like it"). "Especially for people who are longtime lovers of the town." And current lovers of good old-fashioned frolics. "If New Year's Eve is amateur night," Cady adds, "this is for the professionals." And no one was more of a pro than Madam Bunch.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Hillary Clinton's campaign is doing its part to keep the Obama-Rev. Wright controversy alive. A few days ago one of Clinton's top advisers acknowledged that the campaign is aggressively pushing the Obama-Wright connection in its pursuit of uncommitted super-delegates. Hillary herself has repeatedly said that Wright "would not have been my pastor." And while there's no doubt the Wright issue will continue to be a headache for Obama, our prediction that Hillary's own untoward religious connections would become an issue has come true.
Last night NBC interviewed MoJo author Jeff Sharlet on Hillary's longtime participation in a secretive Capitol Hill group called the Fellowship.
Regular Mother Jones readers will be familiar with Hillary's involvement in the group from Kathryn Joyce and Jeff Sharlet's feature on the topic last September:
These days, Clinton has graduated from the political wives' group into what may be Coe's most elite cell, the weekly Senate Prayer Breakfast. Though weighted Republican, the breakfastregularly attended by about 40 membersis a bipartisan opportunity for politicians to burnish their reputations, giving Clinton the chance to profess her faith with men such as Brownback as well as the twin terrors of Oklahoma, James Inhofe and Tom Coburn, and, until recently, former Senator George Allen (R-Va.). Democrats in the group include Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor, who told us that the separation of church and state has gone too far; Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) is also a regular.
Unlikely partnerships have become a Clinton trademark. Some are symbolic, such as her support for a ban on flag burning with Senator Bob Bennett (R-Utah) and funding for research on the dangers of video games with Brownback and Santorum. But Clinton has also joined the gop on legislation that redefines social justice issues in terms of conservative morality, such as an anti-human-trafficking law that withheld funding from groups working on the sex trade if they didn't condemn prostitution in the proper terms. With Santorum, Clinton co-sponsored the Workplace Religious Freedom Act; she didn't back off even after Republican senators such as Pennsylvania's Arlen Specter pulled their names from the bill citing concerns that the measure would protect those refusing to perform key aspects of their jobssay, pharmacists who won't fill birth control prescriptions, or police officers who won't guard abortion clinics.
A few weeks ago over at The Nation, Barbara Ehrenreich called on Clinton to "explain—or, better yet, renounce—her long-standing connection with the fascist-leaning Family." Today a Daily Kos diarist concurred that Hillary "owes us all an explanation." But the Clinton camp is keeping mum (Hillary declined to comment for the MoJo feature last year). Maybe she'll reconsider now?
Keep your eye out for continuing coverage of the Hillary-Fellowship connection and an excerpt of Sharlet's new book The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power, to be featured soon on MotherJones.com.—Justin Elliott

Different from the Troop
Different from the Troop: Rare White Baboon spotted In Arusha National Park, Tanzania.
By Fred Shirima - TANAPA
Wild animals that are white instead of their normal color quickly capture attention and imagination of tourists who are observing them.
They stand out among other animals with normal color, especially the ones that blend into their surroundings. Though these species are very different on the outside, they differ only in small ways on the inside.
The cells of the sighted baboon are incapable of making a pigment, which is normally a genetic condition. The rare baboons are not only the species only of wildlife with unusual color sighted in Tanzania National Parks.
A very rare species of baboon has been spotted and photographed by tourists, roaming around Arusha National Park, in Tanzania along with the rest of its troop who didn't seem to be disturbed by his unusual color.
Photo: Furaha Mbilinyi
Unusually colored individual (Albino) in the animal kingdom is mostly a survival disadvantage to the animal. Families and social groups can exclude them because to every other member, they look foreign, but this baboon in Arusha National Park has been seen to get along with the other baboons in the troop!
The troop was observed on 14th February, 2016 along Momela Lakes. This adult olive baboon (papio anubis) in a troop of about eighteen (18) individuals was feeding in the bush and along the plains.
The Momela lakes in Arusha National Park are surrounded by a lush green rainforest, which hosts the very beautiful black and white colobus monkeys as well.
The olive baboon (Papio anubis) also called the Anubis baboon is the most wide-ranging of all baboons, being found in 25 countries throughout Africa. They have a greenish-grey coat covering their bodies. Tourists can increase their chance of discovering one of these rare oddities of nature by spending more time outdoors especially in National Parks.
Arusha National Park is one among sixteen (16) Tanzania National Parks that the country is blessed with. Tanzania also is home to world famous Kilimanjaro, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Selous just to mention a few.
In Tarangire National Park in Tanzania, for example, researchers came across a giraffe, the first of its own kind, with unusual pattern.
Similar case animals have been observed in other National Parks as well.

I'll take teeth and claws over an angry client any day
As any self-respecting service worker well knows, there's nothing worse than an angry customer. Our workplace is no different. It's just that our customers come in a variety of species. Given the choice, though, I'll take my chances with the ones wielding the teeth and claws over the ones wielding the checkbooks.
Irate clients are the stuff of any service industry. And just because we're animal-loving doesn't mean the occasional client's entrance doesn't provoke the staff to yell, "Incoming!" At which point everyone dives for cover while the angry person yells and screams and generally makes a nuisance of him- or herself.
Most of the time these are just angry rants aimed at no one and everyone. Because they're always delivered at the front desk, the reception staff gets it 99 percent of the time. The issue is usually something simple like, "How could you not have my cat's food in stock? If he gets blocked, then what am I going to do?" (All food is by special order only because we have little spare room to stock spare cans and bags.)
Or, "What do you mean I can't get heartworm medication without an annual heartworm test? That's a scam!" (All dogs must have annual heartworm checks before receiving this prescription medication; both because it's the manufacturer's safety recommendation and because safety is a big issue for us. No exceptions.)
There's always one member on staff who handles these situations better than everyone else. This person easily weathers the brunt of the storm while the rest of us cower non-confrontationally on the sidelines (or stay hidden behind closed doors).
In our hospital this talented individual is the office manager. Most of the time she stands her ground and listens attentively while the person spews forth all the venom he or she has available. Once the client has successfully relieved himself of this burden, the office manager goes in for the kill (usually a thick layer of sugary rebuke only a mother of three children can muster): "Now let's start over without all the anger and foul language so I can properly understand you."
Sometimes this does not work, as with the elderly gentleman who consistently berates our staff for tiny transgressions (usually the vet's fault), like the timing of a phone call related to his pet's routine bloodwork, or the (typically brief) period of time he was left on hold.
After the fourth or fifth time the guy barks at the staff, the office manager can be heard to mutter under her breath, "I don't get paid enough to deal with this." When that happens (ideally before the staff has gotten all worked up) the vet has to step in and say, "Mr. Crankstaff, please recognize that these people are not here for you to yell at. If you have a dilemma, now or ever, please be polite when you speak with them."
Usually, the vet's reproach is enough to silence the likes of the Mr. Crankstaffs. In fact, just the mere presence of the vet seems to elicit all kinds of sweetness and light from said individuals. They pull a Dr. Jekyll and next thing you know it's all over. In fact, the change is often so dramatic the staff is made to look foolish. This is why after especially egregious rants we vets have had to resort to asking the offender to apologize directly to the person(s) they yelled at.
Now, I'm a naturally non-confrontational sort of person. And I'm not the owner of my practice, I'm just a lowly associate. So when the proverbial stool hits the fan, I'm the first one hiding behind a door somewhere — because I can. Nonetheless, if I hear a client tell a staff member to "f-off" (or utter some other such bile) I feel compelled to come forward and ask for an immediate remedy.
Twice I've even had to ask people to leave and never come back. While I don't really have the authority to make that happen, it seems to have worked out well in both instances. We never saw them again.
It's one thing if a client is emotionally overwrought over the death of an animal (or some truly important matter) and lashes out emotionally at the staff. Sometimes we just have to accept this kind of episode with compassion and dismiss our injured dignity. It's quite another when someone's bad day launches across the counter and tries to strangle our receptionist.
The real teeth and claws are an accepted hazard in the business of working with animals, but at least our patients have a good excuse: they're animals.
