Kingston Comms loses BT connection
Kingston Communications, recently rebranded as KCom, has lost its connection to BT and, therefore, the wider world beyond the Humber. Several concerned Hull residents, and Reg readers, got in touch to say they could not access bt.com or other sites on the BT network because of a routing problem. KCom provided us with the …
I wonder
where this sits with our business SLA...
Kingston need to improve the resilience of their network, what's the point of being independant and yet unable to get connectivity?
The sooner some other ISP provides competition in the Kingston Monopolised Hull area the better.
re: business SLA
Seems these days the "out of our hands" is the get out of any SLA. If you can spread blame widely enough then you can never be responsible! (look at government!)
What a load of rot
The internet, by definition, routes around problems, the whole thing has been designed to be attack resilient. Knock out one chunk of the network, it routes around it automatically. So, why is it that only 1 company is affected.
Do these people think we are all as stupid as they are ?
Kingston is a special Case
Kingston communications is a special case they were an independent communications company before BT even existed
They were the only independent telecoms company in the UK for nearly 100 years and so this means that if you live in Kingston upon Hull you almost certainly get your telephone connection *and* Broadband from them, they are the default carrier rather than BT
What this means is that if they have a problem then so does everyone in Hull .... It's like if BT has a problem then so does everyone in the UK ....
The internet cannot rout around the problem if there are no other routes ....
Surprised they didn't blame it on the floods...
Water logged cables slowly being degraded... etc etc
"they are the default carrier rather than BT"
Wrong type of....
...leaves on the cables?
Connection to BT..
I was affected at a site by this one, it's great, I can get to some of our demon IP range, and not other parts of it!
KCom brings me more problems then almost everyone else I deal with! Roll on someone else providing connectivity in Hull.
I am affected
I live in Stoke on Trent which is nowhere near Kingson or Hull; my ISP is Eclipse who are part of KCOM and I'm having very slow access to the Internet. :(
Coincidence or is the mighty Zen also effected by this
Now why did someone at zen call their gateway Gay... is it something to do with the fact that it is their connection to BT, or did they want a sniggering laugh whenever something goes wrong with it? Are the others known as Queer, Pufter and Homo?
Zen? Gay?
I thought in this day and age we were past sniggering at the word gay, and certainly past using the other words in the post in whatever context.
Too small to cope, too large to care
If anyone's reading this, it's Monday 27th August at 15:10 and the problem still persists.
Hull's great! Chavs, floods, crappy telco/ISP, no IT jobs
Come on down some time
STILL can't connect to bt.com
Or it could be :-
Hellen,Irene,Julia,Kate,etc you know that thing called the ALPHABET made into FEMALE names!!!
KC Speaks! Or it would do if it could reach anyone!
Well, KC's still having problems, but they have updated their status from "3 hours expect to fix" on Friday to:
"This is due to a hardware failure on a complex piece of equipment.
Replacement kit is being sourced with our supplier Cisco and a plan of work is in place to implement this once it arrives"
And a hope it will be updated at 12:00.... I don't have that much hope.
Tuesday - And still having problems. Or having problems again (not sure which)
2007-08-28 @ 09:27:00
Status [Problem]
Estimated Time 4 h
Time Remaining 0d, 2h, 59m, 56s
Description Customers will be experiencing intermittent web-site connectivity issues.
Business customers may experience VPN connectivity problems.
This is due to a hardware failure on a complex piece of equipment.
Replacement kit is being sourced with our supplier Cisco and a plan of work is in place to implement this once it arrives.
The next update is expected at 12 noon today.
Kingston Communications
Now a further 8 hour delay on top of the 4 hours posted this morning. Do they have any clue what they are doing?
Single point of failure
I am a network engineer by trade and I cannot believe the incompetence of KCOM, every network should always have redundancy and no single points of failure. Once again I believe this highlights a major issue with KCOM being allowed to operate a monopoly, if you were a customer who received this flaky level of service repeatedly you would move to another provider. Unfortunately as a Hullygully I do not have that luxury.
Bskyb , Orange and Talk Talk offer free broadband but no one in Hull can take advantage of these services, if I subscribe to any of the aforementioned companies I am literally subsidising the rest of the countries free broadband, its ridiculous! The sooner other telcos move into Hull exchanges and offer an alternative service, the better.
Why no other ISP comes to Hull
KC have made a number of strategic choices.
1. The first 1Km of wire from the exchange is normally 0.5mm sq. Kc have chosen to use 0.3mm sq. Remember the problems they had with KIT - the wire size played a part in the problems... The key point here is that the DSLAMs in the exchange for connecting the ADSL are much more expensive for 0.3mm cable.
2. KC have installed about 9 times for exchanges than would be used in a BT area. The ISP would have to haul fiber to something like 30 exchanges rather than the 2 or 3 in BT land.
The combination of these 2 mean that a prospective ISP would have to spend 9 times more on kit which is more expensive and more back haul links to get to 350,000 prospective customers.
Ofcom have very little to say on the matter other than KC do not run a monoploy. This is quite true; any other telco, ISP etc can come into this area; but when they are dependent (or dig the road up) on using the local copper circuit and find it is not compatible with what they have and then to be faced with 9 times more cost to "buy in to Hull", then you can see the problem.
I had heard rumours that the Karoo Infrastructure was creaking, but nothing specific.
In the light of the recent layoffs fuelled by cost savings, one might suggest too much cost cutting left KC in a position without a spare, resilience or diverse networks...
How poor is this situation ?
I am in charge of IT within one of Hull's fastest growing organisations and I can honestly say that we the business community are crying out for someone to come into Hull and offer some cost effective alternatives to the current provider.
KC are arrogant, losing focus on the customer base, inflexible and downright bloody expensive.
I cannot believe that a company like KC has got into a position that leaves the entire area of Hull without effective Internet access for nearly 5 days now - what the hell is going on and who is responsible ?
P*ssed off at the lack of viable options.
Sign the Petition
No Competition reasons
Its simple when someone does try to compete Kingston puts them out of business via sharp business practices. A number have companies have tried but KC does things like trebling its line rental costs to them with 2 weeks notice - hand delivered by taxi! No warning, no communication, just make an amendment to their terms and conditions and enforce it.
Oftel - useless - find in KC's favour every time.
In addition they appear to operate Karoo in such a way that no one can compete. Sure you can set up in Hull offering ADSL like others do in BT land but the cost split between the charge from KC for network access and the cost you could sell it for is so small you can generate enough business. How Karoo operate on these margins is anyones guess. I am sure you can figure it out for yourselves. It would be interesting to see comparison figures KC v BT for such access. I am sure the figures would be very different.
Complain to Oftel or your MP about the monopoly and you get told its not a monopoly as anyone can 'in theory' operate in the KC area regardless of the fact that KC make it impossible in practice.
Complain to Ofcom
Please anyone who has an issue with KCOM monopoly call Ofcom 020 7981 3040 and state your case. Let them know how people in Hull have no option to use another operator, we have no choice and therefore KCOM has no incentive to improve services or reduce costs.

After throwing 100 pitches in a rehab start yesterday, Jake Peavy appears ready to re-join the White Sox rotation next week.
Beerleaguer: Peavy is expected to make his 2011 White Sox debut either Wednesday in Oakland or Friday in Anaheim.
While results-wise, Philip Humber has been great with a 3.06 ERA, eventually his .212 BABIP will regress and he'll start to allow more baseruners. That hardly means he's doomed to an ERA north of five for the rest of the season, but it's tough to see Humber keeping his ERA around three for an extended period of time.
With that as a backdrop, Peavy's return could come at a perfect time. The Sox can pre-emptively correct for Humber's worse luck by inserting Peavy into the rotation and moving Humber to long relief, maybe spot-starting him as a sixth starter on occasion to give Peavy an extra day of rest.
What worries me is the backlash the Sox could face if they remove Humber from the rotation in favor of Peavy, who then proceeds to struggle in his first few starts. I'm not trying to take anything away from Humber, but his success has been tenuous this season. It'd be awesome if he were able to sustain it, but it'd also be unlikely.
Peavy has yet to prove himself for an extended period of time in the American League, though, which makes this a tricky situation. If Peavy works an ERA and FIP around 4.00, that'd look disappointing in the face of Humber's early-season success. But those numbers would likely be no worse than what Humber could accomplish long-term. And, last two seasons aside, Peavy has a whole lot more upside for 2011 than Humber. The Sox need all the help they can get at this point, and Peavy offers a higher ceiling.
Too bad he can't hit.

I have PCOS...so my poor face took a beating, and was left with acne scars. I booked an appointment to get a Chemical Peel which run's about $85 bucks and up depending on depth, when I ran across this product on online...after reading reviews and reseaching it's ingredients I decided to purchase it. Within one week of using it twice a day my scars were almost two shades lighter...I was amazed. Haven't had a breakout since using this product and my scars continue to lighten and get smoother. Saved me money, no down time and most of all no pain!

I began using the DERMAdoctor Acne line cleanser, serum & mask and must say I could not be happier. Never before have I used a cleanser that goes on a dry face and was a littler nervous. After two months with the product, my face is free of break-outs (which has never happened before) and feels much smoother and cleaner. I have now hooked my younger brother, who began seeing results within days! This product is more than worth your time & money!

In my 40's and still get breakouts. This works great, and I've hardly had any zits since I started. I also love the acne mask and physical chemistry. I started using a cheaper neutrogena zit gel, tho.

In the morning, I put it in and leave it for a bit while in the shower, like a mask... I think it works well that way. I also use the serum on my sensitive skin.

When we spotted Winona Ryder at The Iceman premier at The Venice Film Festival last week, we fell in love with the Heather's actress all over again.
Winona swept on to the red carpet in a classic black Dolce & Gabbana number, complete with lace embroidery, and like the LBD, the make-up was simple yet stunning. With a dramatically shaded smoky eye offset by muted red lips, Winona was expertly channelling screen siren chic – and we'd expect nothing less from the Hollywood star.
So, want to try the look at home? Of course you do! We caught up with Emma Day, the woman behind Winona's sultry style, for the low down on all the behind-the-scenes beauty secrets. Emma exclusively told us 'We wanted a chic, yet romantic lady-like look for Winona and to keep her looking as polished as normal - it was almost a classic Hollywood look.' and here's how she did it…
I started by prepping her skin with Sisleys new water based cleanser and applied Clarins Blue Orchid Oil which we let sink in. Then I prepped the skin with Clarins Instant Smooth Primer to perfect the skin so the base wouldn't move. She's infamous for her naturally beautiful skin so it wasn't hard to perfect it!
I used Chanel aqualumiere in 10/20 as Winona's foundation and then concealed lightly with Cle de Peau Concealer (which was Winona's own), reducing shine with a powder puff and Mac Prep and Prime Powder before lightly dusting with a fan brush.
2. Eyes
Under her eyes I used Sisley Eye Concealer and layered it with Lancome Eclat Miracle to keep under-eyes fresh. In both the day and red carpet looks I did for Winona, I used my favourite Mac Cream Colour Base in Shell on her eye-lids and cheekbones – it's a highlighter but gives an incredible soft and dewy look to the eyes and skin.
I primed the eyes with Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer before putting on the base colour. On the lids I used Diors 5-Colours Iridescent Eyeshadow in Earth Reflection. Then I used a more silvery shade in the inner corners of the eye and a silver Clarins Eyeliner Shimmer Pencil in the tear-ducts (a bit of a trademark but it makes the eyes sparkle). Winona's eyes were lined thinly along the socket line with Dior Styliner in Noir to make her eyes pop and I used Chanel Les Crayon Yeux in brun inside her eyes.
I curled Winona's lashes using her own heated lash curler to optimise the lash curl (I have never seen one of these before!) I added Origins Ginzing Mascara and topped up the lashes with Eylure Individual Lashes.
I dusted the apples of the cheeks with Chanel Blusher in Polvere and lips were Winona's own Chanel Rouge Coco in 31 Cambon.

So, Madonna and her daughter's fashion line, Material Girl, is onto the Spring collection, in Macy's in America. To celebrate the next phase they have hired with another celebrity offspring icon – Miss Kelly Osbourne. The original face of the brand was Taylor Momsen. Here she is primped and preened and posing away in a bra-revealing shorts and jacket combo, and here again in a little grey romper suit and sleeveless jacket ensemble. Wowsers.
She does look extremely lovely, but why have they chosen her, of all people? We think it could be because she has been known for her rebellious streak in the past, although now she tends to dress like a particularly ecstatic beauty pageant contestant. Maybe her new, glossy, thin and hightlighted look is more to the tastes of the middle-American teenagers than Momsen, who was becoming something of a potential PR liability, with her tales of pyromania, all night raves and fondness for knives. Just maybe.
On the other hand, Kelly is a fairly unconventional model, and, at 26, she's not a teenager anymore. What do you think of the casting choice? While you think about that, why not watch this mini video where Lourdes explains in a VERY self assured manner how her mom (Madonna!) likes to raid her wardrobe, and then Madonna herself laments how difficult it is 'to say no to Lourdes'. Hysterical!

Philanthropy has been woven into the fabric of Georgia Tech since its founding 125 years ago, and private support has shaped the campus and created qualitative advantages—in teaching, research, facilities and student life—that elevate a good university to a great one.
In giving to the College of Architecture, alumni and friends can facilitate and fulfill the dreams of young people who will make a difference in the world in which we live. Your gift to the College of Architecture and its five schools insures present and future students an education based in excellence and facilitates faculty research advancements that can improve the human condition in our ever-changing world.
The cornerstone of a great program is a great faculty. Teacher-scholars are the foundation of the College of Architecture—men and women eminent in their chosen fields, capable of developing new knowledge through research, and transmitting knowledge through teaching. To maintain and enhance the quality of its academic programs, therefore, the College is seeking permanent endowments in the following areas:
- Dean's Chair
- School Chairs
- Faculty Professorships
- Early Career Faculty Fellowships + Professorships
- Faculty Support + Development
The key to Georgia Tech's future lies in its students, and the amount of support awarded to these talented young people can directly impact their success—and the Institute's—in the years to come. The College of Architecture has long served as a beacon to exceptionally bright and highly motivated students. The tradition continues unabated, and the College's commitment to its students has never been more important. Competition has never been stronger for the best and brightest students and gifts for endowments to support the following are extremely valuable. You can make a difference with a gift to establish and support:
- Graduate Fellowships
- Undergraduate Scholarships
In order for the College to remain a global leader in architecture, music, design, planning, and construction, the dean, chairs and faculty, must have the resources to implement and sustain initiatives that enhance the College's curriculum, research, and outreach activities.
Several major facilities have been renovated using private funds to enhance state appropriations and other source funding. The comprehensive renovation of the Hinman Building expanded the College of Architecture's footprint by more than 40,000 square feet, offering a real solution to the severe overcrowding in design studios. To-date, this project has received 12 awards for construction, interior design, and historic preservation.
Numerous commemorative gift opportunities are available, including naming of the buildings as well as individual classrooms and spaces within them.
Unlike endowments, current operating funds are available for use in the year in which they are received. Gifts and grants may be designated to the College of Architecture and may remain unrestricted. Such funds support core academic and programmatic goals, as well as provide seed funds for emerging initiatives.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- A few weeks after moving to suburban Kansas City from the Seattle area, Aaron Belenky went online to register to vote. But he ended up joining thousands of other Kansas residents whose voting rights are in legal limbo because of the state's new proof-of-citizenship rule.
Starting this year, new voters aren't legally registered in Kansas until they've presented a birth certificate, passport or other document demonstrating U.S. citizenship. Kansas is among a handful of GOP-dominated states enacting rules to keep noncitizens from voting, but the most visible result is a growing pool of nearly 15,000 residents who've filled out registration forms but can't cast ballots.
Critics of the law point out that the number of people whose registrations aren't yet validated -- and who are thus blocked from voting -- far outpaces the few hundred ballots over the last 15 years that Kansas officials say were potentially tainted by irregularities. Preventing election fraud was often cited as the reason for enacting the law.
Belenky, a 39-year-old computer programmer, has his birth certificate and a passport but said he'd have to open and riffle through boxes in his Overland Park apartment to find them and comply with a rule that doesn't exist across most of the rest of the nation. And now, the prospective Kansas Democrat is irritated enough that he is ready to join a legal challenge.
Rather than respond to a July letter from election officials, Belenky allowed the American Civil Liberties Union to list him as one of three aggrieved voters in a notice sent this week to Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach threatening a federal lawsuit unless the state stops enforcing the proof-of-citizenship requirement. Kobach dismissed the ACLU's criticism as unfounded and promised that the state wouldn't relent.
"I don't like anybody putting up barriers between me and a very basic right," Belenky said. "It's the state government saying that they don't believe me when I say I'm a citizen. I'm offended by that."
Arizona enacted the nation's first proof-of-citizenship law in 2004, but the U.S. Supreme Court struck down key parts of it in June. Georgia, Kansas and Alabama followed, but only Kansas has compiled solid statewide numbers on blocked registrations.
Even though Kansas has nearly 1.8 million registered voters, another 15,000 is significant enough to decide a tight statewide race and typically more the total in a state House race.
The ACLU contends that Kansas is violating a longstanding federal election law requiring states to allow people to register at driver's license offices. It and groups such as the NAACP and the League of Women Voters contend that requiring proof of citizenship suppresses registrations among poor, minority and student voters who are more likely to support Democrats.
Kobach strongly disagrees that Kansas is violating federal law and said if the proof-of-citizenship rule is voter suppression, then "so is having registration in the first place." He said the ACLU and its allies oppose efforts to ensure "that only citizens are registered to vote."
Kansas election officials say many of the people on the "suspense" list filled out registration forms at a driver's license office but didn't have the papers to prove their citizenship. Critics of the law and some local election officials question whether state computer problems are preventing driver's license offices from processing information about people who have the correct documents. The Department of Revenue says there's no problem.
Kobach said the federal law led to a large number of people registering even though they never intend to vote and don't respond to entreaties to produce papers. Kobach said Kansas is lenient in allowing people to fill out registration forms but document their citizenship later.
"You have to create a suspense list if you're going to allow voters to take their time," he said.
Some prospective voters don't mind complying with the proof-of-citizenship rule.
Maj. Shawn Plankinton, who arrived from Washington in June for an assignment at Fort Leavenworth with the Kansas Army National Guard, said he's "100 percent in support." The 42-year-old registered at a Topeka-area address as a Republican and responded within a few days to a letter from the local election office. He took in his birth certificate, normally kept in a home safe.
He wasn't offended, he said. "I'm more a little relieved that there's some due diligence."
In seeking tighter election laws, Kobach suggested that reports of a few hundred irregularities over the previous 15 years represented a fraction of those that actually occurred.

Synagogues throughout the country bring limitless determination and endless imagination to their support of MAZON's anti-hunger mission.
A special thank you goes out to some of our most creative synagogue-based MAZON fundraising efforts. These important events help bring a higher profile to the important cause of hunger relief.
MAZON Community:
In Tulsa, OK, Congregation B'nai Emunah and Temple Israel joined together to develop a "MAZON Community." As part of the city's commitment to hunger relief, all Jewish institutions donate 3% of special event costs to MAZON.
Food Baskets:
In Chevy Chase, MD, Ohr Kodesh Congregation has its bar/bat mitzvah students prepare baskets with nonperishable food items and present them as centerpieces or offer them on the bimah. Families make a contribution of $36 for the bimah basket and $18 for each centerpiece basket. The money raised is donated to Ohr Kodesh Congregation and to MAZON.
Grocery Bag Appeal:
Temple Beth El of Boca Raton, FL, prints information about MAZON's High Holy Days fundraising campaign on the grocery bags they distribute during Yom Kippur. Synagogue members send proceeds from the campaign to MAZON, and donate food to local food banks.
Hoops for Hunger:
Ohr Kodesh in Chevy Chase, Kol Shalom and Adat Shalom in Bethesda and B'nai Tzedek in Potomac, MD join forces to host an annual "All Star" basketball tournament.
In Teaneck, NJ, Congregation Beth Shalom hosts a beautiful weekly kiddush. But one week a month, the normally elaborate Kiddush becomes a simple affair, and leftover funds are sent to MAZON.
Matching Contribution:
In La Costa, CA, The Elijah Minyan encourages congregants to match the contributions the temple raises during the High Holy Days. The total sum is donated to MAZON.
Mile Walk-a-Thon:
Temple B'nai Jeshurun of Short Hills, NJ, coordinated a social action project for youth group members that involved finding sponsors for a walk-a-thon whose proceeds were then donated to MAZON.
A Million Pennies for MAZON:
Temple Israel in Melbourne, FL, initiated this project with the goal of raising one million pennies in loose change. Synagogue members decorated 5-gallon water bottles and placed them around the shul. This event was so successful that it is now a minhag (tradition): Congregants walking into the temple drop their change into the bottle.
Mitzvah Mall:
In Franklin Lakes, NJ, Bernert Temple hosts an annual fair. The synagogue invited charities (including MAZON), food vendors, Judaica shops and others to set up booths and hand out information about the services they offer.
Penalty Money:
In Bellevue, WA, Cantor David Serkin-Poole of Temple B'nai Torah collected money for MAZON by requiring bar/bat mitzvah students who lost their practice tapes to pay for subsequent materials. The "penalty" paid was donated to MAZON.
Restaurant Night:
Temple Solel of Paradise Valley, AZ, coordinates with local restaurants to donate a portion of the total cost of meals served to MAZON.

Broten's top priority is reaching out
Urges Meili to seek seat
Joe Couture, The StarPhoenixPublished: Monday, March 11, 2013
Cam Broten - who won the leadership of the provincial NDP this weekend by just 44 votes - says his party needs "all hands on deck" now.
"This isn't the time to push people away," Broten - who, at 34, is the youngest leader ever elected by the party - told reporters at TCU Place in Saskatoon. "It's a time to welcome in even more people. That's the approach that I want to take as leader in reaching out."
In his speech Sunday, Saskatoon MLA Broten discussed making sure "everyone has a role to play," working on policy priority areas and holding the Saskatchewan Party government to account.

On the second ballot at the NDP's leadership convention Saturday, Broten received 4,164 of the total votes cast or just more than 50 per cent, very narrowly beating out Saskatoon
doctor Ryan Meili, who was ahead on the first ballot, but received 4,120 votes on the second.
Meili described the results to reporters as "bloody close.
"Who would expect that I could actually get closer to winning this time than last time?" he said, referencing 2009's leadership race, in which he finished second to Dwain Lingenfelter - who ultimately led the party to a crushing defeat in 2011.
The results of the first ballot, which were announced earlier in the afternoon on Saturday, saw Meili in first with 39 per cent of the vote and Broten in second with 34 per cent - Regina MLA Trent Wotherspoon, who came in third with 24 per cent, then withdrew from the race.
"I knew at that point in time that it was time to provide a concession message and I say with all sincerity, I'm ready to go behind the leader this party chooses," Wotherspoon said.
Broten announced Sunday that Wotherspoon will be his deputy leader.
Regina economist Erin Weir, who dropped out of the six-month-long race several weeks ago, but whose name remained on the first ballot, got 273 votes, or about three per cent of the total.
There were 8,719 - out of about 11,000 eligible - votes cast on the first ballot. The vast majority of those were cast by members in advance, using a ballot on which supporters ranked their choices for leader in order. On the second ballot, 8,284 votes were submitted in total.
Although such a close result between candidates with notably different approaches and visions could suggest a divide, Broten downplayed that Saturday, noting "we need everyone involved" and encouraged Meili to run for an MLA's seat in the future.
Broten also pointed to acclamation of Meili fundraiser Gavin Gardiner as party treasurer on Sunday as "a great piece of evidence to show we are coming together."
Meili's team raised the most money during the leadership campaign, while Bro-ten's raised the third-most amount.
Meili - who was criticized for not seeking a seat after failing to win the leadership in 2009 - would not say what his future plans might be, but noted that since losing Saturday, he has "been approached about seven different provincial constituencies, three federal ridings and several potential roles within the party.
"Everybody's got an idea of what Ryan should do next and that's great, but that's up to me and my wife, in discussion with supporters and Cam, where we see the best place for me," Meili remarked.

EXCEPTIONAL person to work with. We had a very rush urgent job to be done (ie. timeline to deliver was literally within hours from the time the project was started). Not only was the project completed within the timeline and budget, the quality was excellent. PERFECT communication throughout the process, everything went smoothly beyond our expectations. We were skeptical that anybody could get what we needed done within the timeframe, but we were wowed away, VERY impressed. Thanks again for all of your hard work and for working late into the night to get this done for us!!!! (BTW: For other people reading this, we do not give 100% ratings to just anybody, look at our other reviews, we're very picky. This vendor is amazing, we will be hiring again!).Amrik Randhawa, RGBX
Rabbit & Carrot's responsiveness to my questions and comments was fantastic. It's the primary reason I selected them over 2 other vendors whose pricing was lower. I might not have been the easiest client for them to deal with, and there were 1 or 2 requests they did not meet, yet their professionalism and sincerity in trying to deliver what I wanted throughout the entire experience makes me very comfortable in recommending them to others or using them for a future project. In the end, the final cartoon product they delivered made my parents 45th anniversary event a huge delightful success. My friends and family were highly entertained by the cartoon. Thanks again to the entire team at Rabbit & Carrot!!Stacy, Day In A Life.
The team has worked hard to meet our expectations. The quality of work produced is pretty high. There was a good two-way communication and due to their extensive experience, the team was able to get what we envisioned without us needing to explain at great length. There is a level of initiative and creative input on their part as well. One suggestion we would like to make is for the company to provide a greater variety of VOs for the client to choose from. Overall, we are very happy to have worked with the team. Recommended if you want high quality and affordable explainer videos!Angel Hack, After Party
The entire staff did an excellent job from start to finish. Very engaged staff, provided consistent communication, helped me stay informed throughout the project. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for great quality work.Samuel, Bet Me Gammer
Great team of animators who are very responsive, and have great skills in animation, and deliver what you ask for. Knowledge of technical terminology may sometimes be required in communicating with the team as there were occasions where instructions were misinterpreted. All in all, the project was delivered on time, and to a high quality for what you pay for. Would highly recommend them.Bryan, Click To Sell Your House
I am very satisfied with this company. The team showed great patience and professionalism throughout the entire project. Thank you very much. I highly recommend and look forward to future projects with this team. Well done.Miguel, Lockton
Very satisfied from the result of the work done. The team was available for all necessary changes, ready to help and responsive. They also provided a sound accompanying the animation. I recommend this subcontractor.Petros, Zenlap
I really like these guys. If there is a criticism, it is based on communication - which may be attributed to time differences, culture and language. If I had another project, I'd use them.Jonathan, Crica Funding
Rabbit & Carrot were very professional, courteous, and accommodating. Despite delays (not entirely their fault), once delivered the product was more than satisfactory!Domenico, Home Business Rotator
We couldn't be happier with the work done by Rabbit & Carrot! We had excellent communication throughout the project and great efforts were made to implement all our requests and any change/ edit we asked for was changed immediately. Great work guys and we look forward to working with you in the future Thanks The PrrrfectFit.com team.Spencer, Prrrfect Fit
Outstanding work! We look forward to collaborating again in the near future. Thank you so much.Michael, Bexterd
About the 10th time i hire them. Don't and won't use anyone else.Jorge Assam , Entre Connection
Thankyou so much, Rabbit & Carrot - I'm thrilled with the outcome! After the initial teething problems, you really came through with a brilliant product. It's quite hard working with our time difference and I really appreciate all the overtime you put in, so that you would be at your desk when I was available. It made a huge difference to getting everything perfect and on time. I'll certainly be back for more.Anja Karina, Prism
This is our second animated video with R&C. Again, it was a wonderful experience. We felt assured all along the process that the end product would be of great quality, and it is! Akber and his team are very creative and hard working. Thumbs up! Claude - iugum Data Software.Claude, Data Match Tool

Apple Cops to Inferior iPod Touch Screens
The most interesting bit of info gleaned from Wall Street Journal tech guru Walt Mossberg's recent review of the iPod Touch is that Apple confirmed to him that some initial Touch units shipped with defective screens. Anyone keeping up on their iPod news recently has certainly read the reports of users complaining that the screen used in the iPod Touch is far inferior to the one used on its half-brother, the iPhone -- the main complaint being an infuriatingly dim screen (see above video). According to Mossberg, Apple claims the problem affects only a small amount of new iPod Touch owners and that a fix is in the works. Apple didn't say exactly what that fix would be, or how many scorned customers a "small amount" is. Mossberg reviewed two units, neither of which demonstrated the dimness problem.
Overall, Mossberg is a fan of the Touch -- as he is of almost anything Apple -- though he does take the device's battery life to task, which he claims does not live up to Apple's claim of 22 hours, but is more like 17.
Once again, it proves wise to wait for Apple to work out the kinks of a new product before buying, lest we forget the scratched-up first generation iPod Nano debacle and hot MacBook woes.

Robert Royal | 11.26.2014

John Zmirak | 11.24.2014
Fr. Mark Pilon | 11.23.2014
In recent debates (with Dinesh D'Souza, for example), several of the New Atheists have voiced their objections to belief in God and especially to Christian belief.
Christians are required to have compulsory love and compulsory fear at the same time: to love and at the same time to be frightened by God. This is not the way to teach morals.
It seems to have worked remarkably well down through history. The Hebrew Bible says that "fear is the beginning of wisdom." This sort of fear is much closer to "reverence" and "respect" than to "frightened."
If a man avoided murder because he feared the wrath of God, I would count such restraint as a good act, although only at the lowest rung of the ladder. Much higher rungs would be represented by a higher motive: understanding the reasons for such avoidance, and/or out of love for the maker of the law (whether the Almighty, source of all good or the civil will of one's fellow citizens expressed in the law).
Since, alas, experience shows that there are many rough characters who heed no motives except fear, I would not count fear as a motive to be scorned. It is far from the highest motive. But if and when the higher motives fail, this one may stand sentinel.
Christianity offers vicarious redemption. It applauds human sacrifice—one in particular—and then condemns you to punishment if you do not accept this cruel and revolting sacrifice, which happened before you were born, to fulfill a prophecy in which you had no say.
Every day, evolutionary biology demands the sacrifice of individuals (and sometimes whole species) for the sake of biological progress. Every war demands the ultimate sacrifice of human lives – often in the most cruel and revolting ways. All this would still be true, had Christianity never been born.
Yet if in a desire to express His love for mankind, the Creator wished to insert Himself into human history, and to give an example of the special meaning He gives to love – not amor or eros, exactly, but something fuller and richer, unique to Himself (caritas) – His advent into time and space would in fact be after the lives of some men and before the lives of others. That is what "becoming man" would mean, entering into finite space and time.
We often say of soldiers, "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." The Creator as creator could have done much less than that. Instead He chose to share our human lot of pain, humiliation, and ignominy, dying as a criminal.
The desire for forgiveness – to be white as snow – is an immoral one. Take responsibility!
It is not immoral to ask wife, children, or friends to forgive us when we have wronged them. It is the responsible thing to do. Of course, our atheist friends do not judge that they have offended the God Who loves them by doing one of the few things He asked us not to do. Many other people know when they have deliberately done what they should not do, and failed to do what they should do. Some, even before they knew of the God of Judaism and Christianity, have wished there were forgiveness, so that they could start over again. It is because they take responsibility for themselves that they seek forgiveness. Blessed are they who have no need for forgiveness!
A Virgin can conceive? The dead body can walk again? Nonsense!
On the face of it, these are startling at least. Do atheists, however, have a better idea of how our true God could become fully man than by way of a divine "Father" and an unlikely but carefully chosen Mother? Hundreds of millions have been touched by the beauty of God's inventiveness.
And how could any man lead others to suspect that He also was God unless He gave them evidence – raising the dead, healing the lame, giving sight to the blind – and maybe most divine of all, forgiving sins, wiping them away: "Go, and sin no more." Of course, the whole evidence of the way He lived and died must also be added up.
From the very beginning, many who saw and heard the Christ just walked away, unbelieving. The Creator lovingly preserved their liberty. His coming as a man did not overwhelm the minds and hearts of all those who encountered Him. Not then, not today. He shone His light before men, and many of them turned away. On one occasion when hundreds turned silently away from His words, He asked his disciples: "Will ye also go away?" Although He would have let them go, too, these few stood their ground. He did not desire the acquiescence of slaves, but the friendship of free men standing erect.
But more to come.

by S Ross Jones
Merry Christmas to all of you from St George's College Jerusalem. As we celebrate our Lord's birth, it is time for us to pause and reflect a bit on how easily the circumstances in this land consume our total attention. Certainly no one wants to ignore those circumstances, but Christmas rightly brings us back to the fact that we are more - more than victims of strife. We are holy people: holy because we are in God's image; holy because God loves us; holy because God became as we are.
As I sat in the Arabic service at St George's Cathedral yesterday, I reflected on what a great congregation it was in spirit, in numbers for Jerusalem, in music, etc. It was a privilege to be a part of it. The rest of the world would look at that small gathering in the face of a culture that would just as soon Christianity disappear, and wonder what they really felt. My conviction is that these congregations do not survive because of the faith of those who attend, though faith is certainly there. They survive because the Holy Spirit has a way of working through people in more ways than people think is happening. These people would not think of themselves as being heroic, but simply as doing what they have always done. At one level there is no consciousness of trying to keep Christianity alive or preserving it for the future. Yet I am convinced that the Holy Spirit is working through them.
Joseph and Mary probably did not consider themselves to be extraordinary in any way, either. Yet our Lord chose them to benefit us all. It could equally well be happening to any of us today. Our Christmas is not just to celebrate what happened in Bethlehem so many years ago, but also to rejoice that God could work through every one of us in ways that we would never suspect. No one goes to Church because they aspire to be a Joseph or Mary, but our daily life is holy in a way that we must not ignore. It is deeply humbling to be a priest at the altar on Christmas Day and see so many people routinely acknowledging the fact that God loved them enough to become as they are, even as they may well be questioning their own belief. The Spirit is working through normal Palestinian Christians for the survival of the Church here, and I am convinced the same is true everywhere. There is just no dramatic crisis to highlight it so people get caught up in petty conflicts. This year is a time for all of us to think in small terms rather than global ones. Don't think of ultimate ends, but of what we normal humans can do.
Bishop George Browning of Canberra, Australia, made a moving announcement in an ordination sermon the day before Advent. After chronicling both terrorism and injustice around the world (thinking particularly of the Middle East) and noting that we must not condemn the one without the other, he said he would eat nothing from dawn till evening each day until Christmas in solidarity with those who suffer unjustly. Further he would be at an appointed place each day from noon to 1:00 pm and invited others - Christians, Muslims, or Jews - to join him in a mutual witness.
Celebrate your Christmas in wonderful freedom and thank God for the gift of a Son who became a normal human being so we can know that "normal" is really much more than "human". We just need to help God a bit. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

So is this like... protest time?
If the changes go live, maybe Blizz will notice if a significant % of protection warriors are running around without 90-tier talents? I know they pay more attention to what people in top-end raiding guilds are doing.
With the nerf listed I guess my talent point would go to Storm Bolt, since the others don't even offer utility anymore.
I've never liked bloodbath as a talent. The other two at least do something that affects your gameplay.
One gives you mobility, damage, and rage. You can hit things you couldn't before (in pvp), you can hit them harder, and you can use more of your abilities since rage management is central to how a warrior plays.
One gives you a ranged stun that doesn't require you to be mobile and has a longer reach than your unglyphed charge.
However, no matter what spec, pvp or pve, Avatar as it is at least does something both beneficial and valuable for all warrior specs and is a good example of what a talent, especially a higher-tier talent, should look like. Removing the rage generation and mobility features of the talent is antithetical to the stated intent behind the current talent tree design.
It could also be likely that all warriors picked avatar so it was a manditory talent... which is something they said from the onset they did not want. Not that I agree with the change at all. Perhaps some people like Lore or Teng could bring this up to Blizzard in a much more detailed/thought out post then I could.
@Deathelve; Not really a mandatory talent, it was good for burst in PVP, and the extra rage made it a mandatory talent for prot in PVE but for PVE DPS Bloodbath is much better. As much as my ego appreciates the idea that i am some sort of warrior community icon, I am not, and Blizzard are no more likely to listen to me than anyone else (less likely actually as i'm not playing on US servers and thus can't post on the US forums).
If i was gonna redo the tier i'd leave Avatar as it is in the nerfed state, make a Bloodbath a passive that caused you special sttacks to make them bleed for 6 seconds for 6% of the damage done and reduce their movement speed by 10%, and then give stormbolt a chance to proc SnB and increase its damage 6-fold, in which case you have the choice between a CD, a passive and a rotational ability.
Teng why not add Damage Shield as an option in place of one of the level 90 talents?
Becuase some dreams are too much to hope for.
I don't like bloodbath. Gonna keep using avatar for the time being and maybe macro BB into shield slam or some crap. What an annoying talent.
They could put an ICD on it just like they have on critical block enrages.
EDIT: if you feel the need to bitch about the level of mehness of our level 90 talents, i suggest making a polite twit at Ghostcrawlers Twitter page.
ANd my god do i want Damage shields now.
I miss the ICC damage shield =(
The state of warrior talents for tanking really is sad. Compared to all the other tanks, our talents have little to no impact on our rotation / tanking dynamic whatsoever. Only two tiers have a direct impact on tanking outside of 5 mans.
Tier 2 (healing tier) has ER with a cooldown that is to long for a heal that is to small and requires enrage to be used in order to be viable so taking this talent extremely limits the usefulness of a core ability we already have. IR has a rage requirement so it hinders our survival in order to give us a ~50k heal every 30 seconds, almost better off just using the 10 rage for shield barrier. That leaves the mindless Second wind that will likely be nerfed in the future due to pvp anyways because in a 1v1 situation it's damn near impossible for a mid ranged skill person to kill a prot warrior these days, and in PvE raiding it has limited usefulness (in 36 minutes of boss fights tuesday second wind averaged 150 HPS for me).
Tier 5 (survival tier) are all abilities that aid in the survival of someone else. Great concept, but given that none of the other tiers make up for this with any sort of tanking utility means that this is all we get. Mass spell reflect so far that I've seen has zero raid utility. Vigilance is a carbon copy of hand of sacrafice (haven't found a benefit to the taunt spamming in raiding), which while somewhat useful only redirects single target damage from a target and not mitigate it. Honestly the current iteration of vigilance should be baseline for protection because it is so lackluster. Many mid skilled paladins don't even have HoS on their bars and we get it as a talent choice *twirls finger*. That leaves safeguard as a talent, which is a neat ability that I like (and has finally been fixed to not have the threat drop). However it would be a much stronger talent if given a choice to pick it in fights where it is strong and have an even half decent alternative on fights where it is not as useful (Only fights in MV I've found it decently useful on are Feng, Gara'jal, and partially on Elegon).
From a 5 man / questing / lvling perspective I love the talent choices. But in a raiding environment it could use a complete overhaul to adjust at least one, preferably two tiers to have special modifications to throw a bone to protection.
If a function like this were added to either shockwave or stormbolt if the target is immune to stuns it would be nice for instance. Perhaps the next 2 swings on stormbolt use given that it has a 30 second cooldown. Plenty can be done, but bottom line is it would be nice if our talents were as useful as the other trees.Quote:

I know comparing classes normally ruffles feathers and that it should be done carefully or not at all, I'm just trying to make a point that it would be nice to be given choices that actually impact what I do in the game... most everything I do outside of raiding while playing my warrior is simply done to aid me and my guild in future raids. Like I said many of the warrior talents are great outside of raiding but in a raiding environment the whole talent tree is extremely lackluster.
The actual reason for the nerf to CC immunity is making more sense now. Here's a quote from a blue poster from this morning:
So, the CC immunity is causing enough up time that Taste For Blood stacks are getting higher than Blizzard wants them to be on an average. I didn't think about it this way. But, when you look at it from that angle the Avatar nerf does reduce PvP burst. Quite significantly in fact. I still think it could have been done without hurting protection warriors, though.Quote:
For a Warrior to build up enough stacks to global a player like seen in this video, they need a incredible amounts of up time to make sure the stacks of TFB do not fall off before getting a new one. To make it clearer, in 15 seconds they need to get a new stack of TFB and then repeat that, hoping their stacks do not fall off before the buff expires. Four or five TFB stacks are generally needed to pull off the Heroic Strike damage you see in the video on a well geared player and because of the changes in 5.1 these stacks while still possible to build, will not be as easy to get as they are now.
The problem is not just the massive HS crits, it's also due to the 5 Overpowers that lead up to it and Avatar simply allowed such a window to exist. So I can understand the nerfs to the CC immunity and the damage (compensated over time), but the Rage removal was just unwarranted imho. I know Paladins have a choice between DPS & healing/survival in their last tier, I wish Warriors has as well.
Chance on X OP = Y per MS:
1 -> 30% (1 per 3.3333 MS)
2 -> 9% (1 per 11.1111 MS)
3 -> 2.7% (1 per ~37 MS)
4 -> 0.81% (1 per ~123.5 MS)
5 -> 0.243% (1 per ~411.5 MS)
You could ofcrouse increase the chance after a 'failed' OP by MSing again, but you'ld still want fast stacking procs before they get CC'd off of you (hence the immunity nerf), which means more lucky strings required now (and more "dafuq I didn't see that coming" QQ on the official forums)
So what is this collective verdict on a lvl 90 talent for a prot warrior in a dungeon? I don't want to hear about what Blizz shoulda/coulda done... But as the game is, NOW. What works?
I'm kind of thinking, from everthing I've just read, that Storm Bolt is really attractive for saving a healer/zealous dps with basically an added range taunt/stun, but Avatar is also very attractive for the rage benefit and extra sustained survivability that comes from that.
I'm leaning toward Storm Bolt simply based simply on the cooldown diffrence. You can use it often, (30secs), and at range, (30 yards). As far as I can tell it doesn't share a cooldown with any other pull. And I can see where a prot warrior will say, "boy, puling that add off the healer/dps with that throw really saved the day".
But I wanted your opinion.
right now Avatar for the extra rage, as soon as 5.1 hits bloodbath. Stormbolt is on the GCD so has a hidden rage cost, and just doesn't do enough damage to be worth taking, unless they make it proc SnB or do about 6x as much damage its a pvp talent.

The jury will deliberate for a second day in the trial of a man accused of assaulting two Charlottesville police officers.
After seven hours of deliberations, no verdict was reached in the Kerry Cook Trial.
Before going home for the night, jurors told the judge they were close to coming to a verdict. They said they had reached a decision on one of the charges but not on the other two and wanted the evening to think about it.
Cook is charged with assault and battery of two Charlottesville police officers and with resisting arrest.
A special prosecutor in this case argued that the two officers were called out to a domestic incident at Friendship Court in August 2004. He said they encountered Cook hiding in the closet.
Cook had five outstanding warrants for his arrest and he tried to flee the scene. A struggle ensued and one police officer shot Cook in the stomach.
The officers have since been cleared of any wrongdoing. It is Cook who now faces charges of assaulting those officers.
Cook took the stand in his defense today and said he didn't know the two men were police officers and that he was fighting for his life that night.
Hours before adjourning for the night, the jury asked the judge questions. They wondered if they could convict Cook of assault and not battery. The judge said they could not.
The jury will continue deliberating at 8:30 a.m. Thursday morning. Cook faces up to 11 years in prison.

|Why Shopping Center Competition is Cutting to the Core
Competition for core, stabilized shopping centers in the U.S. has typically been stiff, and it's easy to see why. These centers are well-leased by strong tenants and have a sturdy anchor tenant — usually a grocer or other major retailer. As a result, these centers are usually very stable and generate strong sales for tenants.
