9/11 Truth Dubbed 'Racist' by Controlled Left Protesters
Matt Conner / Jones Report | January 30, 2007
This past Saturday, January 27, we witnessed the 'organized left' engaged in what can only be defined as blatant gate keeping and the co-opting of a legitimate, grass roots Anti-war movement. Local activists in Austin, Texas typically conduct a 9/11 Truth protest weekly on the steps of the state capital, where often coincide with anti-war protests.
In this instance, the 'organized left' speakers at the anti-war protest made direct effort to ostracize 9/11 Truth and to make immigration and gay rights issues part of the anti-war agenda.
One such anti-war speaker made a point of naming elite organizations, referring to both the Masons and the Bilderberg group and decrying them as 'under-the-bed' conspiracies, yet went on to claim that the 'Ruling Elite' was using racism to divide us all.
This speaker went on to mock the 9/11 Truth movement, classifying the cause as 'racist.'
Citizens from all sides of the political spectrum come together to speak out and demand the truth about 9/11; however, this weekend the organized, controlled left conducted our local version of the large-scale events in Washington, D.C., and other around the country. With speakers from such leftist groups as the "Southwest Workers Union" (complete with Che Guevara t-shirts) and the "Anti-Racist Action League," it was clear that 9/11 Truth was the black sheep of the day.
As the 9/11 Truthers were being interviewed by local news media, a "spokesperson" from the anti-war march made it clear to news crews that "they are in no way associated with us."
I personally heard statement of "I hate those 9/11 people, they are all racists."
The anti-war rally was once again transformed into pro-immigrant and anti-racist slogan chanting and leftist drum circles.
Some would say the idea that the left suppresses our message is a 'conspiracy theory.' However, this is not the case, this is a cabal of like-minded people who have a common goal of pushing only their own ideas and denouncing any information that would require them to modify their beliefs.
But if we set personal beliefs and values aside for a moment, we can see that immigration and gay rights issues have no tenable link to the war, while 9/11 is clearly tied to the war in a real way-- it was the carte-blanche justification for both the open-ended 'War on Terror' as well as pursuing the weak links to Afghanistan and Iraq.

Stuart O'Grady is one of Australia's best-loved cyclists with a long and successful career in cycling for Australia and as a professional road cyclist. The record holder for most starts in a Tour de France ever, as well as an Olympic gold medallist and winner of the Green Jersey on four occasions, O'Grady is one of cycling's most respected stars.
But in 2013, following his retirement, Stuart made a shock announcement: he had used EPO, a performance enhancing drug, in the 1998 Tour de France. For a cyclist renowned for his strength and determination, this was a shocking blow to his reputation and his hard won legacy.
Starting his career as a teenager O'Grady worked tirelessly to rise to the top of elite cycling. Known as 'Mr Indestructible', he fractured eight ribs, a shoulder blade, collarbone, three vertebrae and punctured his right lung - all in one Tour de France. His never-say-die attitude has inspired people everywhere and he is a true hero to anyone who has enjoyed The Tour over the past two decades.
Recounting his incredible 20 year career including 17 Tour de France starts, Battle Scars recounts the highs and lows of Stuart's cycling journey, including the culture in elite international cycling and the pressure on young teenage cyclists to perform, which led to his now infamous choice to take performance enhancing drug EPO in 1998. But in this up-front and honest autobiography Stuey reveals more than just headlines.
From growing up in a talented cycling family and starting a training diary at age 13, to his career success in the velodrome, and his eventful years as a professional road cyclist, his style is absolutely candid, down-to-earth and genuine. Stuart O'Grady is an inspirational but very human sports hero, and Battle Scars is an enthralling read for anyone interested in elite sport.
About the Author
Stuart O'Grady, nicknamed Stuey, grew up in Adelaide, Australia. As a teenager his cycling talent was quickly recognised and he was selected for the AIS. From there he became a top Australian professional road cyclist. He and Graeme Brown won a gold medal in the Men's Madison at the 2004 Summer Olympics. O'Grady completed the Tour de France seventeen times.

Best Uses
I am a cyclist myself and found it a very motivating book, but would be a good motivational tool for any aspect in life. The sacrifices one person can make his whole life is truly unbelievable. It explores all aspects of his life from a young teenager growing up through the ranks of local and then international, professional sportsperson. The book explores the darker side of sport with the support he has now in his life with his family and cycling family.
Best Uses
an enjoyable read even if you are not a cyclist,of the ups and downs of a mans career that everyone can relate to.

st: Changing graphregion color in gr twoway with by
Thu, 12 Aug 2010 09:53:58 -0400
Hi statlisters,
I am having trouble changing the graphregion color in a twowar graph
with the by option. Here's the code I've tried:
twoway (line var1 year, xline(1980 1992 1996)), by(var2, iscale(*.8)
yrescale xrescale iylabel ixlabel)
graphregion( fcolor(green) icolor(green) color(green) ifcolor(green));
I have tried to fill in every graphregion option that I cam think of
in that graphregion(.) option, but the color of the graph never
changes. This has been easy for lots of other graphs.
I have also tried the undocumented option bgcolor(<colorstyle>) that I
read about here. That didn't work either.
Any suggestions about changing this color?

The Virgin
"The Virgin" is a story written by Kerima Polotan Tuvera. It won two first prizes in 1952: The Philippines' Free Press Short Story, and the Palanca Awards. It is the story of a woman and her experience of desire and freedom.
- Miss Mijares- a thirty-four-year-old woman who works at a job-placement agency
- new man at the carpentry shop
Having spent most of her adult life caring for an ailing mother, Miss Mijares is past her youth. She realizes to her disappointment that love and marriage have eluded her. She lives a dull life and behaves with stiffness and aloofness, camouflaging her tiredness and loneliness with ruffled and pastel-colored clothes. When a new carpenter applied at her agency, she is unwittingly drawn to the man. After a confrontation, the two find themselves stranded on an unknown street in the rain, and Miss Mijares allows herself to be led by her feelings for the carpenter and responds to his invitation.
The Author
Kerima Polotan Tuvera was born Putli Kerima in Jolo, Sulu. She spent much of her life in Central Luzon, however. She taught at the Arellano University in Manila where she had taken up writing courses in her youth. During the Marcos era, she was founder and editor of FOCUS Magazine and Evening Post.
Her works include The Hand of the Enemy (1962), a novel which won the Stonehill Award, and the stories "The Keeper", "The Virgin", and "The Sounds of Sunday" which are included in her collection Stories (1968). She published a collection of essays in Adventures in a Forgotten Country (1975) and a collection of non-fiction works in Author's Choice: Selected Writings of Kerima Polotan (1971). She also edited the Don Carlos Palanca Memorial Award for Literature Winners. Her latest book published by the UP Press is a collection of essays about her childhood memories, The True and the Plain.
She won the Republic Cultural Heritage Award for Literature in 1963 and the City of Manila's Patnubay ng Sining at Kalinangan Award.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The hotel is in a lovely setting and the staff were friendly and willing to help. 1. My bill included a sum of 90 euros for 4 telephone calls. There was no rate information in the room. I stay in Dutch hotels for more than 100 nights every year and this is over 4 times more per minute than comparable calls from any other Dutch hotel. 2. Because I had to leave for work early I arranged for a breakfast pack to be prepared. On 2 of the 4 days I was there it wasn't done. 3. Although the rooms were acceptable they are a little tired and in need of renovation. There was a plan exhibited to show that they were being done in 2010 but no sign that anything was actually happening. There are too many good hotels available in Holland and I will not be staying here again.
The restaurant is very good. Good food, very nice service, reasonably priced. The rooms on the top floor are very warm. (Flat roof)
location/surroundings menu/preparation of the food/not representative for a 4 star hotel
Good breakfast. Tea & coffee facilities in room
Nice pool and good sized bedroom. Room was nicely decorated but somehow lacked atmosphere. Very Clean and excellent bar /restaurent area. Very relaxing.
The closeness to the woods was great. That was just where we wanted to be. Staff very friendly. Food good. Bathroom did not smell very fresh when we first went into the room
We had booked 2 singles and 1 double. We ended up with 2 large twin rooms with balcony and 1 large double suite. We only had breakfast there but the choice was excellent as well as the service throughout.
the restaurant is a nice room The room was small, really a "leftover room". The bathroom had an ugly smell that entered into the room. There were many midgets we were not warned for and when we found out it was too late. We could not get another room anymore. So if you really have to go to this hotel, do not take room 106.
Ambience, setting everything was good.
The room we were offered on arrival was old-fashioned, in need of decorating & the mattresses were old & sagging. We asked to change (we both have back problems) & were given a large, comfortable, well decorated room with memory foam mattress, spa bath, garden view....very satisfied! The first room we were offered. Our stay would not have seemed such good value for money if we had not been upgraded.
restaurant prices were outrageous but we had no choice as we had to eat. a simple menu for travellers would be good.
everything was o.k. it was a nice place to stay no
Well located and comfortable, in a quiet part of the city.
Pleasant hotel and a nice breakfast
The management and personnel were excellent
Very poor, for me it is not a 4 stars, on your site the say internet gratis but is is an "hotspot" from KPN, chek the prices!!!
The hotel is situated on walking distance of the center of Lochem in very calm surroundings. The attitude of the staff; with the exeption of the lady who served the breakfast!!
Swimming pool and nice hotel staff.
It was the first time I have stayed at a hotel anywhere around the world...I Hate to carry toothpaste /shampoo /condition, they were unable to provide these basic items which is available in any hotel where ever you are around the world apart from this hotel it seems.
Very nice location and very good service
nothing everything: small claustrophobic room, to small bed, restaurant to expensive for the quality, hotel is not 4 stars but maximum 2-3 stars, no mini bar in room, hotel is in my opinion not renovated since the '60.
Excellent country setting. Very good choice of breakfast
The atmosphere is very relaxed and the staff were most helpful from check in to check out.
Great location, friendly staff, good food Old building, so a bit noisy.
beautiful location and a great few from the room. Good breakfast buffet the corridors and the rooms didn't look very modern (more old), the delux room is not more luxurius, only bigger in my oppinion
staff unhelpful ; shower extremely poorly constructed i.e. water flowing into bathroom itself breakfast opening hours much too late ; i.e 8.00 AM
The morning breakfast! The beds! Two single beds put together only to split apart when rolling over and falling on the ground.
Location of hotel is most beautiful. Staff very friendly & helpfull.Greaat food.
staff friendly and competent; location quiet and in the middle of nature; very much value for money.
The value for money foor the hotel accomodation was fine. The value for money in the restaurant was between poor and fair. The relation between the supplied meal and the price for the main course (€ 17,50) was out of proportion compared to other hotels with the same price for the main course. Starting breakfest from 07.30 as standard without giving notice first to tghe Hotel staff.
Quiet surroundings
Staff, food
Hospitality; Personel was very friendly.
Staff were efficient - speaking English and informative. Breakfast was very good. Room was cold (we stayed last weekend) We came back early from the wedding and would have liked to have known if the bar was open. No-body told us of this facility. We didn't even know it was there so was really disappointed in the morning to see the bar and sitting area which we perhaps could have used.
Good service,nice bath room
It felt as being back in the 70's, which was great for this stay. Billiart competition, table cloth, smell of beer, GREAT!!!
The staff was helpful and pleasant. The room was quite large. The underlying cafe is nice and not loud at all. The beds and the sheets were too short for us.
Good dinner and breakfast, relaxed atmosphere, nice staff, reasonable pricing. Great starting point for biking tours. Rooms could use some painting.
staff very helpful not ensuite
A budget hotel in a rural location, handy restaurant with 70's style reliable food. Basic but cheap for the Netherlands. Room was small and drab, ask for one above the restaurant, those above the bar are noisy, the 'No Smoking' room policy is pointless as an acrid stench rises from the bar and nightclub.
We certainly got what we paid for. A very nice and cosy little hotel in the middle of a smal village. We had a warm and friendly welcome, eventhough we arrived by midnight with 3 children. The rooms were clean, the surroundings quiet and the houselord made breakfast for us in the morning. Scrambled egg, salami, fresh bread and all sorts of jam, peanutbutter, honey etc. We will be back - highly recomended!
Friendly staff, good food. Rooms were too hot.
Food was very good, quiet location
We like that the Hotel is at the country and we therefore prefer to stay ther with our dogs
Staff/owners were very friendly, they were very helpful in providing bike storage space. They had also obtained information about a local event in which we were participating Room was very warm and while the breakfast selection was good there was no cereal
Absolutely first class, excellent service, very freindly staff. Comfortable rooms and good food. No cereal for breeakfast, but then thats a culteral thing.
Staff was very helpful in helping me find a camera store. The location is quiet and beautiful, just outside a small town. The dinner was excellent as was the service. Good, basic breakfast buffet. Dinner was a bit expensive but it came with many side dishes.

From 9 March the museum is presenting 'Hand Made: Long Live Crafts'. This exhibition is a manifesto for handicrafts, but at the same time prompts reflection about handmade products. The Flames Maquiladora installation by Mexican artist Carlos Amorales that is currently on display in the museum provides a foretaste.
The Flames Maquiladora installation was presented in the Dutch Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2003. The Rotterdam-based collector Joop van Caldenborgh acquired this installation and donated it to Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. You can read more about Flames Maquiladora here.
Hand Made: Long Live Crafts
'Hand Made: Long Live Crafts' opens on 9 March 2013. This exhibition shows the most exceptional art and design objects produced using all kinds of craft techniques and reveals how modern-day value judgements about crafts are sometimes based on misconceptions about the past. You can read more about this here.

Makeup primers?
Apologies if this has already been posted here before~
I just wanted to know if there are any drugstore primers that you people could recommend or any that I should stay away from? I have oily skin and I do have red spots and acne scars that I'd like for a primer to fix. And I'd prefer drugstore brands. >.<
I do have Loreal's Studio Secrets primer currently and it unfortunately does not do anything for me. It goes on nicely, but even after I let it completely dry up on my skin, as soon as I start putting on my foundation, it starts caking and it takes clumps of my foundation and starts crumbling and being "pushed around" on my skin (if that makes any sense) ): I did try patting on my foundation and brushing it on with a makeup brush, but it still doesn't stay put and in the end, my pores/scars/redness do not get covered at all. It's the same as when I don't put on a primer, maybe even better.
If it makes any difference, I used Revlon's Colorstay foundation with the primer.
So, any recommendations? ^_^ I was looking into trying Revlon's primer. Perhaps it'll work better since the foundation I use is from the same company. Obviously, I'd like something that won't make my makeup melt off and something that can hold the foundation nicely/lessen the appearance of red spots + acne scars.

The following 10-point scale gives a rough idea of the whole range of proficiency levels from zero to native speaker level. Each level or band is linked to recognised standards and scales (in red): The Council of Europe Levels and The ALTE Framework.
In reality, learners may not correspond to the descriptions given here or elsewhere, as they may be very proficent in some skills (e.g. reading) and much less proficient in others (e.g. speaking). However, these levels can help to select language learning materials and for producing homogeneous groups of learners.
0. Absolute Beginner Level
Students cannot communicate at all in the target language.
1. Beginner Level
- Students can only speak and understand a few words and phrases. They can introduce him/herself and others and can ask and answer short simple questions spoken slowly. They can complete basic forms, and write simple notes.
Council of Europe Level A1 / ALTE breakthrough level
2. False Beginner Level
- Students have a very limited vocabulary and some understanding of basic structures. They can communicate and perform simple routine tasks requiring a direct exchange of information on familiar everyday topics. They can complete forms and write short simple letters.
Council of Europe Level A2 / ALTE Level 1
3. Elementary Level
- Students can express themselves simply, but are hesitant in more demanding situations. They are likely to make frequent errors in comprehension and expression. They can deal with most situations likely to arise whilst travelling in an area where the target language is spoken.
Council of Europe Independent Level B1 / ALTE Level 2 / UK GCSE Level (year 1)
4. Lower Intermediate Level
- Students communicate quite well, can speak in familiar situations and read simple phrases, but have limited vocabulary and fluency. Nevertheless, they can interact with sufficient fluency and spontaneity that makes limited interaction with native speakers possible without undue strain. They can make reasonably accurate notes while someone is talking about a familiar topic.
Council of Europe Independent Level B2 / UK GCSE Level (year 2) / ALTE Level 3
5. Intermediate Level
- Students speak reasonably well and understand much spoken discourse. They have a fair vocabulary and an understanding of fundamental grammatical rules.
UK 'A' Level (year 1)
6. Upper Intermediate Level
- Students understand almost all spoken and written everyday language. They can express themselves well in a limited range of situations, contributing effectively to meetings and seminars within own area of work. They can understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts, and recognise implicit meaning.
Council of Europe Level C1 / UK 'A' Level (year 2) / ALTE level 4 / Certificate in Bilingual Skills (Institute of Linguists)
7. Advanced Level
- Students communicate clearly and effectively in both spoken and written language in a good range of situations. They have now acquired more advanced structures and start to master the finer points of the language.
UK Degree Level for language majors (year 2) i.e. 2 years of part-time language study after "A" level
8. Upper Advanced Level
- Students are very proficient communicators with only very occasional errors and lapses in fluency. They can express him/herself spontaneously, very fluently and precisely, differentiating finer shades of meaning even in more complex situations. They can write letters on almost any subject and take full notes of meetings or seminars with good expression and accuracy. This level may be acquired after one year abroad with intensive language use.
Council of Europe Level C2 / UK Degree Level for language majors (year 4) i.e. 4 years of language study after "A" level, including year abroad / ALTE level 5
9. Near-Native Speaker Level
- Students can only reach this level after many years of using the target language. They may pass for native speakers in some situations, but there are still signs of foreign accent or inappropriate language in certain cases. Students might reach this level after 5 to 10 years of part-time language study plus 2 to 5 years of residence in the target country.
10. Native Speaker Level
To survive abroad (e.g. book a hotel/ buy a drink) - band/level 2-3 (elementary+)
To discuss an order on the phone with a foreign supplier - band/level 5-6 (intermediate+)
To negotiate a complex business contract - band/level 7-8 (advanced+)
As these levels correspond roughly to the IELTS bands we can also add:
To start a vocational/practical university course - band/level 5-6 (intermediate+)
To start a more theoretical university course - band/level 6-7 (upper intermediate+)
This is a bit like the question "how long is a piece of string?". It will depend on many factors: your aptitude for learning, your memory, the language, the level, your tutor etc. As there are huge variations in learning speeds, a rough rule-of-thumb is 50 to 300 hours per band/level.
e.g.1 UK GCSE courses have about 200 to 300 hours of face-to-face tuition plus homework. They often run part-time for 2 years.
e.g. 2 UK "A" level courses have about 300 to 400 hours of face-to-face tuition plus homework. They often run part-time for 2 years after the completion of an appropriate GCSE course.
e.g. 3 It is very common for elementary-level foreign students in the UK to take a whole year of full-time study to reach an advanced level in English, and some would only get to intermediate level.
These examples contrast sharply with the scandalous claims one sometimes finds in the press of language courses which are supposed to help students become proficient in a matter of weeks or even hours.
There is some evidence from my own research (1996: Time Factors as Predictors of Success in Language Learning) that the law of diminishing returns describes the relationship between hours of study and language learning proficiency. This means that students will often demonstrate fast progress in the early years of study, but that as they progress above advanced level it takes longer and longer to make improvements.

Ada Kaleh
Published by Little Island Press
"A most unusual and brilliant thing." Tomas Weber
Through its two mysterious sections, Ada Kaleh keeps returning to what cannot be returned to: a shared history, the memory of which has been obliterated, its shape barely implied by shadows. In voices of catastrophe, calmness, longing, and frustration, this brilliant poem opens out onto the collective experiences of interference that take the place of what you really need to remember clearly but can't. There are teeth, police cars and film crews. From East Finchley to rivers in Finland, fires in the middle of vegetables and plants in the desert at night, Ada Kaleh is a poem like no other.

Real estate investment trusts to operate in Dubai free zone
Regulators of Dubai's financial free zone announced on Sunday that real estate investment trusts, which use pooled investors' funds to buy and manage property, can now operate from the free zone.
The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) said in a statement that new regulations which permit the operation of real estate investment trusts (REITS) within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) paved that way for the move to allow REITs to operate in Dubai's free zone.
"In many of the world's major capital markets, REITS have become the most favored method for attracting public ownership in property investments," said DFSA Chief Executive David Knott, according to Gulf News.
The news laws were introduced on August 6, 2006, and follow the approval of the Investment Trust Law on August 1. The new rules will enable the floating of REITs for the first time in the Duabi region, using the facilities of the Dubai International Financial Exchange.
REITs are a corporation or a trust that utilizes pooled capital of a multitude of investors to purchase and manage property. The trusts are traded on exchanges like stocks, and are therefore highly liquid unlike real estate.
In addition, REITs enable sharing in residential and non-residential properties alike, while offering several benefits over actually owning properties.

New York - Rafael Nadal withdrew from the US Open on Wednesday increasing concerns about the seriousness of the knee injury plaguing the 11-times Grand Slam winner.The Spanish world No 3 has not played since suffering a shock second-round defeat by lowly ranked Czech Lukas Rosol at Wimbledon in late June.Nadal missed the London Olympics because of a recurrence of tendinitis in his knees and subsequently withdrew from ATP Tour events in Toronto and Cincinnati."I am very sad to announce that I am still not ready to play," Nadal, the 2010 US Open champion, said in a statement."I am sorry since I always found great crowds and great support, but I have to continue with my recuperation and preparation to be ready to play in the right conditions."Nadal's absence from the Cincinnati tournament had already raised alarms in some quarters."I was going to write him and check on him because I can't believe he's been out that long," world No 1 Roger Federer said earlier this week."I thought the Olympics, okay, that's fine. That's a personal choice. I thought for sure we would see him in Toronto, but now he missed Toronto and Cincinnati."It's very surprising, because it was nothing that we heard of prior to the injury. So I'm sad for him," added Federer.Nadal, 26, has had frequent problems with both his knees.The tendinitis first arose when he pulled out of the 2008 Tennis Masters Cup, citing the problem in his knee and a year later the same complaint led to him missing the chance to defend his title at Wimbledon.Knee injury forced him to withdraw from the Australian Open in 2010 and in March of this year he had to pull out of a semi-final clash with Andy Murray at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami due to a knee problem.The next big date for Nadal is the semi-final of the Davis Cup when Spain take on the United States in Gijon on September 14."We hope to see him back on the court soon and look forward to his return to New York next year," US Open tournament director David Brewer said in a statement.The US Open in New York runs from August 27 to September 9.

2nd U.S. President 1797-1801
PRIMARY HOME for both John and John Quincy Adams : "Peacefield" or "Old House," 135 Adams Street , Quincy MA - a 1731 Georgian clapboard, 1½ miles from their birthplaces
KNITTED SQUARE FOR BEDSPREAD: Mrs. John Quincy Adams started this spread in 1835, finishing it nearly two years later. Louisa had made several extra squares, one of which is here on display.
BIRTHPLACES (bottom left): 133 Franklin Street and 141 Franklin Street , Quincy MA - only 75 feet apart, both houses are of New England salt box style architecture, built in 1663 and 1681
Nearly identical, the brick birthplaces of our first father-and-son presidents are covered with clapboard siding, framed with huge beams, and were enlarged with rear lean-to additions. Multiple fireplaces fed into central chimneys and small windows protected the inhabitants against New England winters.
In 1787, John and Abigail purchased Peacefield, an estate of 40 acres of orchards and farmland. They enlarged the manor house into a rambling farmhouse with wing additions surrounded by a formal garden. Adams described the estate as "the farm of a patriot."
Both John and his son John Quincy held multiple governmental and ministerial positions before and after their presidential terms. Their descendants continued this tradition of government service. Generations of the Adams family lived at Peacefield, though a grandson described the home as "uncomfortable for a boy" with its Queen Anne dark mahogany panels and Louis XV furnishings.

AT&T 4G LTE Available in Kingsport and Bristol
Customers to benefit from nation's fastest 4G LTE network on the latest devices
Kingsport, Tennessee, April 05, 2013
AT&T* has turned on the nation's fastest 4G LTE network** in Kingsport and Bristol in Sullivan County, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. AT&T now offers 4G LTE service in the Tri-Cities area, which also includes Johnson City.
Watch here to see several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides, including:
- Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G***. Customers can stream, download, upload and game faster than ever before.
- Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets.
- Faster response time. LTE technology offers lower latency, or the processing time it takes to move data through a network, such as how long it takes to start downloading a webpage or file once you've sent the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming, two-way video calling and telemedicine.
- More efficient use of spectrum. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource, and LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than other technologies, creating more space to carry data traffic and services and to deliver a better network experience.
AT&T invested nearly $1.4 billion in its Tennessee wireless and wireline networks from 2010 through 2012, with a focus on expanding 4G LTE mobile Internet coverage and enhancing the overall performance of its networks.
"Sullivan County is thriving and is a great place to do business," said Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey. "This announcement proves that updating our laws to keep up with changing technology pays off. AT&T's investment and launch of 4G LTE reflects their confidence in our county and adds next generation capabilities for our businesses, travelers and consumers."
"This is an investment for the future in Sullivan County," said State Representative Jon Lundberg. "In an information – driven economy, the ability for the people of Kingsport and Bristol to have access to the latest communications technology is critical."
"Consumers now have access to 4G LTE which is simply wonderful news for the residents in all of the Kingsport area," said State Representative Tony Shipley.
"As we all rely on mobile Internet more and more, the launch of 4G LTE is good news for our area," said State Representative Timothy Hill. "With the addition of this infrastructure, our region becomes even more attractive to potential employers."
"Communications infrastructure is critical to economic development," said Steve Godsey, Mayor of Sullivan County. "Today's announcement is just another reason that Sullivan County is a great place to create jobs."
"Thanks to the leadership of our state delegation and elected officials, we are seeing companies invest in technology which is essential for recruiting employees here in Sullivan County," said Miles Burdine, CEO, Kingsport Chamber of Commerce. "Bristol and Kingsport have both had reputations as progressive cities that are great places to start or expand a business. This announcement serves to underscore that we are open for business with the most modern wireless infrastructure to support our community."
AT&T's 4G Network
AT&T's innovation and investment has resulted in the nation's largest 4G network, covering 288 million people with ultra-fast speeds and a more consistent user experience. Our 4G LTE network delivered faster average download speeds than any of our competitors in PCWorld's most recent 13-market speed tests.
AT&T's 4G LTE network delivers speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G as well as multiple innovations that optimize the network for performance. Our network's radio components are placed close to the antenna at most cell sites, instead of inside the base station, which helps minimize power loss between the base station and antenna and, in turn, improves the performance of our 4G LTE network. The network also is designed with its core elements distributed across the country, which helps reduce latency, or the delay when using the Internet, because your request isn't traveling as far.
"For many consumers, especially rural residents with access to only satellite and dial-up broadband service, 4G LTE service provides an affordable high speed internet access that fits their needs and provides fast Internet speeds like those available in larger cities," said Alan Hill, AT&T regional director. "For consumers living in suburban and urban areas with more high speed broadband service options, 4G LTE affords new competitive high speed broadband choices."
Even as AT&T continues to expand its 4G LTE coverage, customers can get 4G speeds outside of 4G LTE areas on our 4G HSPA+ network, unlike competitors, where smartphone customers fall back to slower 3G technologies when outside of LTE coverage.
AT&T's focus to deliver the best possible mobile Internet experience goes beyond 4G to embrace additional connection technologies. AT&T operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network**** including more than 32,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores and retailers, and provides access to more than 402,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans.
AT&T also is a leading developer of Distributed Antenna Systems, which utilize multiple small antennas to maximize coverage and speed within stadiums, convention centers, office buildings, hotels and other areas where traditional coverage methods are challenging.
Over the past five years, AT&T invested nearly $98 billion into operations. Since 2008, AT&T has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than any other public company. In a July 2012 report, the Progressive Policy Institute ranked AT&T No. 1 on its list of U.S. "Investment Heroes."

This was my intro to computer recording. It has lots of features in a small package. No complaints about reliability, sound quality or anything. The mic preamp sounds very good and the guitar input is a great feature too. I will be upgrading but definitely buying another M-audio product.
Latency is horrible. Only good for single tracking adn the mic pre amps are horrible too. I plugged in a shure SM58 and it sounded like a broken Nady mic.

Seller were to pay for closing costs but the lender had me pay for the AIM Fee before closing. After closing, I noticed that I didn't get credited for it on the HUD-1. The lender entered it as a credit from the lender. As a result, I lost the $999 and the seller paid $999 less in closing cost. Since the HUD-1 had already been processed, title company said there's nothing they can do.
Can I request for a refund from the lender based on the premises of: 1. Contract states the seller were to pay for closing cost but the lender still required me to pay for the AIM Fee before closing. 2. Lender incorrectly entered the amount as a credit from the Lender instead of a credit from me.

Alarm has arisen in government circles over South Korea's announcement that it is pressing ahead with a white paper on the so-called "comfort women," young females whose wartime exploitation by the Imperial Japanese military was the focus of a landmark bilateral agreement last month.
Japan will pay close attention to the document, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Tuesday. Seoul announced the paper in August 2014 and is now apparently close to releasing it despite the accord that purports to settle grievances over the episode.
Earlier Tuesday, a South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman said that the Comfort Women White Paper, drafted by the Gender Equality and Family Ministry, will be published on schedule and is "unrelated" to the Dec. 28 agreement between South Korea and Japan to end the decades-long dispute. The agreement declared that "the issue is resolved finally and irreversibly."
Japan could see the move as a violation of the deal, which includes a bilateral pledge to "refrain from accusing or criticizing each other regarding this issue in the international community."
Suga told a news conference on Tuesday that Tokyo expects Seoul to "deal with the matter appropriately" in light of the Dec. 28 agreement. He said he does not know what the upcoming report will touch on.
Meanwhile, a senior Foreign Ministry official in Tokyo said the government cannot stop the publication of the white paper per se, but "will have to convey Japan's stance to South Korea if what's written in the white paper is too problematic."
Other officials expressed disappointment in Seoul's actions.
"I was surprised (by the South Korean government's words) only days after the agreement," an aide to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said. "I can't trust South Korea."
South Korea's Gender Equality and Family Ministry earlier said the paper will be published in a range of languages, including English, Japanese and Chinese.
On the issue of a statue outside the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, which symbolizes the injured dignity of the comfort women, the South Korean spokesman stressed that the object's future is not determined by the text of the agreement.
Japan has demanded its removal.
"Since it was erected by a civic group, the government can't just tell them what to do or not to do," the spokesman said.
The Japanese government has indicated that it may withhold funds the agreement requires it to provide to surviving victims if the statue remains in place. Its removal was not mentioned as a condition for the aid in a joint announcement released by Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se after their talks in Seoul on Dec. 28, which led to the deal.
In a separate move on Tuesday, several civil groups in South Korea and eight other nations said they will continue their joint campaign to get documents related to the "comfort women" listed on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register.
The campaign is unaffected by the bilateral agreement, Ewha Womans University professor Shin Hei-soo told a seminar in Seoul, adding that the documents deserve a listing on the Memory of the World Register given their value as historical records and the need to preserve them.
The groups are working hard ahead of the application deadline in May to ensure a listing next year, Shin added.
The South Korean Foreign Ministry said it cannot interfere with the matter because the action is by private-sector groups.

'Bachelorette' star Ali Fedotowsky eliminates three more bachelors
By Christopher Rocchio, 06/01/2010
Ali Fedotowsky
eliminated three more suitors during last night's
The Bachelorette
sixth-season episode on ABC.
Chris H., a 27-year-old real estate developer from Vancouver, Canada; Craig M., a 34-year-old in dental sales from Sarnia, Canada; and Tyler V., a 25-year-old in online advertising from Chelsea, VT, all failed to receive a rose from the former
The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love
"I did not see that coming at all," said Tyler V. after his ouster.
"I got a weird feeling in my stomach, I'm like, 'Did that just happen?' I was actually nervous talking to her and I'm never nervous talking to anyone. That showed me I was actually really into her. But if she doesn't feel it, it's not there. So I'm disappointed. I'm pretty shocked."
The Bachelorette
second sixth-season episode began with Ali's 17 remaining bachelors moving into the Malibu mansion that served as their home during filming.
Host Chris Harrison explained to them that over the course of the next week they'd be accompanying Ali on three dates -- one group date and two individual dates.

On each date, Ali would give out a rose, and the recipients would be safe at the next Rose Ceremony. On the individual dates, if the bachelor failed to receive a rose he would immediately be booted. In addition, not everyone would have a date with Ali this week.
Frank, a 31-year-old retail manager, from Geneva, IL, learned he would be accompanying Ali on the first one-on-one date.
"This is exactly what I wanted," boasted Frank. "I'm here for one reason only, and that's to fall in love with Ali. I know she's here for one reason only, and that's to fall in love with one of us. I hope I'm that guy... If for some reason I don't get a rose on this first date, I'll be heartbroken."
Ali said she was "impressed" by Frank on
the first night
but was unsure if there was a "love connection."
"I want to see if we have that spark," she added.
Ali then picked up Frank in a classic convertible, however it subsequently died while they were on the highway. They instead walked to a cab, which took them to Hollywood -- where Ali was approached by tourists and paparazzi. Ali was impressed that Frank was comfortable in the situation.
"The other guys in the house should just go home," boasted Frank.
Back at the house, Craig R., a 27-year-old lawyer from Philadelphia, PA, commented that Justin, a 26-year-old entertainment wrestler from Toronto, CA, was "clearly not right for Ali."
"The night that we met Ali, the first thing I asked Justin was what he did for a living," said Craig R.. "He managed gyms and he was sin real estate, but he failed to mention that came out later in the night -- that he actually is a professional wrestler."
Craig R. then approached Justin about why he wasn't immediately forthcoming, and he defended himself by stating he told him "half the truth." The two bickered about lying and telling the truth.
Ali and Frank then traveled to the Hollywood sign that overlooks the city.
"Frank and I have a lot in common and I'm excited to get to know him so much better than I already do," she said.
The two then talked about Frank's move to Paris a few years ago because he couldn't let the opportunity pass him by. Ali said if Frank was in her life, he'd constantly remind her of "love and family." The two then kissed under the Hollywood.
"Even though it's our first date, I see so many qualities in Ali that I've always been looking for," he said in a confessional. "I'm already starting to feel something for her, and I'm hoping she feels the same way with me."
With the car fixed, the two went for a picnic dinner at another scenic overlook of the city. Frank gushed about the date and how much fun he was having, and she called him "unique."
Back at the house, the bachelors learned that Jonathan, a 30-year-old weatherman from Houston, TX; Chris H.; Kirk, a 27-year-old sales consultant from Green Bay, WI; Kasey, a 27-year-old advertising account executive from Clovis, CA; Hunter, a 28-year-old Internet account executive from San Antonio, TX; Tyler; Steve, a 28-year-old sales representative from Cleveland, OH; Craig R.; Chris N., a 29-year-old entrepreneur from Orlando, FL; Justin; Craig M.; and Ty, a 31-year-old in medical sales from Nashville, TN, would be accompanying Ali on the season's first group date.
Chris L., a 33-year-old landscaper from Cape Cod, MA. said he was going to stay clear of the "man drama" that was going on and mostly being caused by Craig M.. Jonathan called Craig M. "no good."
"I think it's a little bit ridiculous," commented Roberto, a 26-year-old insurance agent from Charleston, SC. "I'm here for Ali and I'm going to stay focused on that. I'll just sit back while the other guys take each other out."
As their one-on-one date came to a close, Ali said Frank exceeded any expectations she had and presented him with the rose. The two then kissed, and Ali said in a confessional she was surprised with their romantic chemistry.
"This is far and away the best first date I've ever had," gushed Frank. "I've had some great first dates, this one blows them all away."
The next day, Ali met the 12 bachelors for their group date -- which would take place at a Malibu beach house.
"I'm a little bit worried about being just overwhelmed by all the guys," said Ali. "It's going to be hard. It's a juggling act."
Ali then revealed the guys would be participating in a "Sexy Guy" calendar photo shoot, with proceeds going to charity. The guys learned they'd be wearing skimpy briefs for the shoot, which didn't sit too well with Jonathan -- as he complained about his wardrobe in front of Ali.
"I'm here for Ali, so I'm going to have to show the junk in my trunk," said Jonathan, who reluctantly put the briefs on. Ali was glad Jonathan decided to participate.
The shoot then commenced and the guys had fun with Ali while also knocking Craig M. for his comfort level in front of the camera. Ty decided to try and serenade Ali with his guitar. Craig R. said he was "a little bit jealous."
"It really got serious there for a moment because I could see it in her eyes," said Ty. "Hopefully that was a good thing."
With the photo shoot in the books, Ali took the guys out for drinks and conversation. Ty felt like he had chemistry with Ali.
"I have been married before," he said in a confessional. "It's part of who I am and it's something I have to deal with. So I thought it was a necessity to talk about it. She needs to know."
Ty took Ali for some alone time and revealed he got married at the age of 27. After "a little over two years," he said he got divorced.
"I'm really glad that you told me that now," responded Ali. "I think this was the perfect moment and I really respect you."
Ty felt like there was a "burden" of his chest and thought she took the news very well. Jonathan continued to have problems with Craig M. and in a confessional called him "poison in a relationship with Ali."
"This dude needs to be called out," added Jonathan. "I just think it's really a dangerous person for her to be around."
Jonathan then interrupted Ali and Ty, and he took the opportunity to tell her about Craig M..
"There's a whole bunch of decent guys here. But there are some guys I don't think are necessarily right for you. I like to think I'm a pretty good judge of character. There is one person -- in my opinion -- who blatantly showed a huge, huge lack of character," he told her.
"Craig M. is like literally a dangerous person. This guy is crazy. He's just asking to be laid out."
Ali thanked Jonathan with a hug, and he said he felt "really relieved." Once he returned to the other guys, Craig M. asked him how everything went. He declined to reveal specifics and Craig M. continued to bust his chops.
"The guys' a jerk," said Jonathan in a confessional. "He has no concerns for other people's feelings. He's an egomaniacal jerk off."
Back at the house, Jesse, a 24-year-old general contractor from Peculiar, MO, learned he'd be accompanying Ali on the week's finale one-on-one date.
As the group date continued, Justin spent some alone time with Ali. She said she was "super confident" in the kind of guy Justin was.
"I have a really good feeling about you and I think you're really genuine," she told him.
"That means a lot," he replied.
Jonathan called the one-on-one time "crucial" in a confessional.
With the date over, Ali decided to present the rose to Ty.
"I am falling for Ali, so I'm really interested in knowing what's going to happen down the road," he said.
Justin commented how he thought it was "fake" that Ty wooed Ali with his guitar, while Jonathan said he would leave if Craig M. received a rose at the upcoming ceremony.
The next day Ali met Jesse for their one-on-one date, and she said she was excited for him to open up. He was nervous since he's a "T-shirt kind of guy" and his individual date invitation include cufflinks.
"Really I have no idea what to expect," he said.
Ali and Jesse then took a trip on a private jet to Las Vegas, which was nerve-racking for Ali since she's afraid of flying. Still, she was glad Jesse made her feel "safe" during the flight.
Once they landed, the two were greeted by a red Ferrari convertible, which they used to drive to the strip. They spent some time poolside and had a fun time.
"There's still a lot we need to know about each other," added Ali in a confessional. "There's a rose on this date and I need to decide whether or not to give him one."
That night, Jesse and Ali got all dressed up and enjoyed a private dinner in her suite.
"Jesse and I haven't jumped into super-serious stuff yet. I'm not sure if Jesse is going to get a rose tonight," said Ali. "I know he's a nice guy, but I need to make sure there's a connection beyond that."
Back at the house, Craig M. continued to taunt Jonathan -- suggesting he quit the competition if Jesse returns with a rose.
"The dude is a jerk," said Jonathan in a confessional.
In Vegas, Jesse said he was interested to learn more about Ali over dinner. The two talked about Jesse's small town life, which Ali said she could sympathized with. In a confessional, Ali called Jesse a "good guy" but was still unsure if he was right for her.
"I want to learn more about him," she said before presenting him with the date's rose -- which he said felt "amazing."
The two ended their night by attending a private concert by singer/songwriter Jamie Cullum and subsequently kissed.
With the dates over, the remaining suitors gathered for the cocktail party preceding the Rose Ceremony.
Ali then spent some time with some of the guys she failed to spend time with during the week, beginning with Chris L..
"I like that we have things in common," said Ali, as the two discussed their home state of Massachusetts and his family.
Roberto -- who received the first-impression rose on the first night -- spent some alone time with Ali since he also didn't get a date with her during the week. He discussed how he was drafted as a baseball player and the two played catch.
"I have such a great feeling from him," she said in a confessional.
Frank interrupted Ali while she was spending some alone time with Kasey, who said it "stung a little bit." Needless to say, the other bachelors were also frustrated since Frank already had a rose.
Frank said he left their one-on-one date feeling like Ali was his "girlfriend" and the two kissed -- right in full view of several of the other suitors.
"I think we all kind of had the same gut-wrenching feeling," commented Steve. "
John C., a 32-year-old in hotel business development from Issaquah, WA, agreed that it was "tough to see."
Jonathan and Craig M. continued to clash, with Jonathan calling him "really passive aggressive."
"He's not a good person, period," he added.
Jonathan told some of the other guys he was sick of dealing with Craig M., who was listening from afar. Ali then grabbed Jonathan for some alone time. While he said he "hates gossip," Ali wanted to know how things were going with the other guys -- so he continued to bash Craig M., specifically for the teasing that took place the previous day.
"I made it really clear this is a dude to watch out for," said Jonathan in a confessional.
Craig M. then spent some alone time with Ali, and she asked how he felt.
"I'm here having a good time with the guys, and I am going to have a good time with the guys," he answered. "But on the other hand, I think you would think a lot differently if it got to the point where we had a one-on-one date. I think when I'm with someone I like..."
"But do you like me?" interjected Ali. "I'm kind of getting the feeling like sometimes, when I look at you, you will look away. So I'm asking are you nervous? This is a two-way street... I feel like you seem a little bit uncomfortable. Are you?"
"Absolutely I want to get to know you more," replied Craig M.. "But I don't know you, right? Obviously, you're very attractive."
Ali then laid it out there for Craig M., asking why he never asks questions trying to get to know her better when she has 16 other guys vying for her attention.
"Someone used the word 'dangerous' when referring to you," revealed Ali. "I'm just wondering why you would think someone would say something like that."
"I don't know," replied Craig M.. "I guess what's in my head right now is that it may be misunderstood that Craig seems like he's just here to have a good time. But I think if you actually give me the opportunity of spending some time together, I think that would totally change things."
After their alone time was over, Craig M. said he could "guess" that it was Jonathan who called him dangerous to Ali. He decided to ask the guys who made the comment.
"It kind of hit me pretty deep, so I just kind of want to know who said that about me," said Craig M. before singling out Jonathan.
"I don't think it really matters who said it," replied Jonathan. "It matters to you, but what does it matter in the scheme of things who said it."
"What do you mean it doesn't matter?" asked Craig M. to Jonathan. "It's obviously you because you have a terrible rebuttal."
Jonathan said he's already gone on the record in stating he doesn't like Craig M., but declined to specifically admit to telling Ali he was "dangerous." The two continued to bicker, with Craig M. wanting Jonathan to admit it and Jonathan repeatedly declining.
"Take some accountability for your actions dude," said Jonathan. "Stop blaming everybody else for your problems man."
"Before we end this conversation -- even though we all know it was you -- you still will not stand up and say, 'Yes, it was me,'" said Craig M..
"What I've said to Ali, it's none of your business," replied Jonathan.
In a confessional, Craig M. correctly stated it was "for sure" Jonathan who told Ali he was dangerous.
The Bachelorette
second sixth-season Rose Ceremony then commenced.
In addition to Frank, Ty and Jesse, Ali also presented a rose to Kasey, Hunter, Roberto, Chris L., Justin, Steve, Kirk, John C., Craig R., Chris N., and Jonathan.
"For Ali not giving me a rose, she missed a huge opportunity," said Craig M.. "I have a hard time respecting her decision of keeping the weatherman and the wrestler here over this."

When I got my first job (back in the Dark Ages), I was very aware of the fact that everyone I worked with knew I was a Christian. I had this sense that, for some of them, I might be the only Christian they had ever really known. It was possible that I would be the one person who could influence their view of Jesus and the body of Christ in a way that God might use to draw their hearts toward Him.
Knowing that fact drove me to work a little harder. I wanted to be the one who was always smiling, always willing to lend a helping hand, always showing a good attitude. I didn't want to gossip or complain. I didn't want to just point my finger at any of them and say, "You shouldn't live your life like that." Instead, I wanted to give them an example – a picture – of what a life changed by God looks like. And I wanted that picture to be kind, cheerful, hard-working, full of conviction, and full of grace and compassion, so when I talked to them about the folly of their life without Christ, they would actually listen.
I don't know if anyone turned to Jesus as a result of my time working with them, but I trust that God used my words, actions, and attitude to plant a seed. I pray He was glorified by how I worked for Him at my job.
But what about the work I do now, my work as a homemaker? Do I feel the same burden to be a picture of Christ as I go about my job today? Do I regularly think about making a lasting difference in the lives of those around me?
What if I lived like I was the only Christian my family would ever see?
I wonder how that attitude would change me. I wonder how it would change my husband and my children.
If I was intentionally living as a picture of Christ, I would. . .
~ Work cheerfully – I would stop complaining about all the "stuff" I have to do. I would show my family that I see them as a gift from God and our home as a structure to be cared for and used for His glory.
~ Serve joyfully – I would look for ways to do good to the people God has placed in my life. I wouldn't make them feel like a burden.
~ Speak the truth in love – I would teach and correct, but I would temper it all with love. I wouldn't just say, "No! Stop! Don't!" in order to defend my pride. I would loving train my children to follow God while showing the grace that has been given to me.
~ Confess and forgive – I would be quick to admit when I wronged those around me and quick to forgive when they wronged me. I would be a humble example of Ephesians 4:32 "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."
~ Smile – I would glow with the love and joy of the Lord. Even in difficult situations, I would refrain from complaining and would display a heart of thankfulness.
I am so weak when it comes to living intentionally.
In my Christian living, I often waver somewhere between self-centered laziness and self-centered pride. God is most glorified when I live out Christ-centered action and humility. But I'm not capable of living out the gospel on my own. It's just too hard for me. I desperately need to admit my helplessness and depend on His grace.
Yet, as I stand in that grace, God also demands action. I am commanded to "do all things as unto the Lord." I am instructed to "rejoice in the Lord always." I need to "look well to the ways of [my] household" and serve my family so "that the word of God may not be reviled."
The clean floors and changed diapers are all about living the gospel. Our attitudes proclaim what we believe about the love and sovereignty of God. We may not be the only Christian our children will ever see, but we might be the only one they see folding the laundry, disciplining disobedience, picking up the same messes day after day, loving their daddy.
If we were able to step outside our own lives and look in through the windows of our homes, what would we learn about the Heavenly Father? Right now, today, what do our children believe about Jesus based upon our words and attitudes? What gospel are we preaching through our lives?
Is it Truth? Because that's all that matters.
Have you ever stopped to think about the gospel you are proclaiming through your life? Let's chat about it in the comments!
