This morning, I noticed Mary Jaksch’s interview with Seth Godin.

At first glance when I saw the big name in the title I thought ok, here’s another lame interview by some blogger and a big name author.

I thought, “let me scan through this article quickly and go on to the next important thing to do on my list.”

Well, I tried to do that.

The problem is, I got stuck on this line and, I will probably never forget it:

All you need to make a living is for four thousand to adore you. And you need forty thousand to be a hit. That’s forty thousand out of four billion! Those are really good odds!

 Think about what Seth is saying here.

I never really thought about it like this before but what he is saying could not be more true:
  • We are all sharing the same finite space on this planet with each other.
  • We all have more in common with more people than we could ever imagine.

It was like a light bulb turned on in my head, like “ding”.

I’ve been doing it all wrong.

This whole time I’ve been trying to SELL people and CONVERT leads into new sales.

Instead I should have been LOOKING for like minded people that already agree with me who can be found EVERYWHERE.

They don’t need to be sold, they just need to be TOLD.

Talk about an “ah ha” moment.

This changes everything but it actually makes a lot of sense.  You can see proof of this in the world of politics.

Isn’t this where people just naturally come together and rally around an agreed set of ideas?

Whatever your political persuasion it’s exactly what you see people doing we just witnessed a year long showcase in 2012.

People show up to this rally or that rally because for whatever reason the message resonates with them and they become motivated to take action.  The next thing you know they have a bumper sticker on their car, a button on their shirt, and they’re volunteering

at fundraisers and the works.

Meanwhile the politician sits back and benefits from their efforts while maybe reading a new speech every now and then.

Cold, callous, and calculated? Yes.  Effective?  Also yes.

However, it’s not only the politicians that are using this technique effectively.

You’ll notice the same type of behavior with the pop music stars, especially the teen entertainers like Justin Beiber who can’t even go to the mall without thousands of young people showing up like occupy wall street and taking over the building.

Thanks to Seth it makes perfect sense why this is happening.

People like Justin Bieber have made it to a level where they’re waaaaaay’ beyond a hit.  Seth says you only need 40,000 to be a hit.  Who knows how many MILLION “Beliebers” or Justin Bieber fans there are in the world?

How many of his fans KNOW that Justin Bieber got started by uploading a video of himself singing a song on YouTube? Seriously.

  1. February 2008 Justin Bieber uploads a video of himself singing a Chris Brown song.
  2. Later that year, in 2008 he was noticed by a talent manager who signed him right away.
  3. He was later introduced to award winning entertainer Usher Raymond who signed him to his music label.
  4. He goes on a promotional tour in 2009 and teenage girls start going crazy and losing their minds.
  5. Then he released his first album My World 2.0 in 2010. It sold over 10 million albums.  WOW.

The moral to the story:

Believe in yourself and that others will too.  This is the point that Seth made and Justin proved.

If you ever get a chance watch Justin’s very first YouTube video so you can observe his body language and see how humble his mannerisms are.

It’s clear he was just a young kid trying his best to make it.  He had faith that maybe, just maybe somebody out there might notice.

Well, at this point we can safely say, he was right.

So, if you’re out there reading this and you want to know what to do.

  • You may have big dreams of success.
  • You probably want to accomplish something great.

Just remember Justin and Seth.

Believe in yourself and take action like the odds are in your favor.

You may be shocked by what happens.

Looking for advice on avoiding the wall while training for a marathon

I'm registered (again) for the NYC Marathon. Third time in a row. I have not run it once

2011: I was able to train up to 24miles and NEVER hit the wall. I hurt my calf. No marathon. At that time I was not paying any attention to diet at all. I was clueless.

2012:  I hit the wall once during training at 15 miles. At that time I learned about proper diet for distance running and fueling during the run. I got up to 20 miles, no wall. Marathon cancelled due to the storm.

2013: This year I hit the wall during trainig at 14 miles three times in a row.

My diet consists of almost exclusivley carbs for 3-4 days prior to long runs.High carb, lowfat/protein. LOTS of pasta, bread (white, rye, sourdough), pretzels, veggies ,crackers, baked potatoes, occasional french fries, soup, bean burritos, mashed potatoes, etc. ANYTHING that is high carb and preferably low sugar.

I also drinkloads of water – especially the last 24 hours.

I totally avoid alcohol during this period also.

Pre-run meal WAS all carbs. I recently added a 30mg protein supplement which got me to 17 miles before I hit the wall.

I eat about 2 hours prior to the run.

I run 3-4 times per week. 7-10 miles - varying between easy runs and tempo runs.

Long runs are about every two weeks.

I drink accelerade (5 oz per mile) and consume Gu gels every 45 minutes.

I drink Endurox recovery drink right after each distance run.

Anyone experience anything similar?

Any thoughts on how to beat it?

ITBS and yoga/pilates?

ITBS has been bothering me for the past few weeks; last week I finally bought a foam roller and have been using it.  How long should I be rolling on the tight spots?  How close to the knee should I go?  I know I'm not supposed to roll directly on the knee, but I rolled really close to it yesterday and now today it feels a bit worse.
Also, can I do yoga/pilates with this? I've noticed that some of the strengthening exercises that people recommend, like the plank, are part of the DVD I use. But will it screw it up more to do poses that require a lot of weight on my bad knee?
I'm really going insane without being able to run or do cardio. Stationary bike bores me, elliptical machine hurts, no access to swimming pool, don't own a bike.
I know ITBS is different for everyone, but is there a window of time where the roller should start making a difference? Until today, it felt like it was getting a bit better.

    Re: ITBS and yoga/pilates?

    Each ITB case is different - some need only a few days, while some have a chronic issue with ITB.

    As far as rolling, I've heard you can roll your ITB up to three times a day. As far as how close to the knee you should be going, as long as you don't roll on the joint itself, you should be fine. When you find a tight spot initially, you should concentrate on trying to roll that out. You will feel sore the first few times you do that but after awhile, the knot should feel less and less prominent and the rolling will feel much easier.

    If you're not doing strengthening exercises for your hip abductors/adductors and your gluteal muscles, you should put those into the routine ASAP.

    Putting weight on the bad knee shouldn't be an issue unless you're trying to do something like weighted squats or leg presses, which is a no-no at this point.

    As far as yoga, I took classes specifically to help me with my stretching out my ITB area, but I've found it has other running-related benefits (improved breathing, better flexibility, core strengthening, etc.) I'll have to defer to someone who's familiar with Pilates in relation to ITB issues.

    Hopefully things will get better and you'll be able to get up and running soon - good luck to you

    Re: ITBS and yoga/pilates?

    Yoga should be really good.  But, I'd recommend taking classes instead of using a DVD.  If you speak to the instructor before class, he/she can give you adaptations that will help you.  He/she can also show you some poses that will be especially helpful.  Furthermore, if you are doing a pose incorrectly, a good instructor will guide you into the proper position for the pose.

    Yoga is fantastic for all kinds of aches and pains.

    It seems our western culture places a premium on being a specialist. This comes at the cost of enjoying a diverse cognitive pool and inhibits creativity because we lack the wider vision to see similarities in seemingly disparate places.

    It's truly time to hang up our gloves on teaching children they must know for certain what they will do with their lives at the ripe old age of 12. We're lighting the fuse of urgency on the bomb of speciality that will soon explode into mediocrity.

  • Jeff Nelder

    Our insights come when we're being present- but that's not enough in and of itself. We prepare our expertise and combine this with our unique purpose and intent, within a process of failing forward, to manifest our unique purpose through our work. We can hope that it will become shared purpose if it resonates.

    I was just thinking yesterday that I feel like my true hobby is just thinking! Sometimes I'll ride in the car with the radio off or sit in my living room with the TV off, just analyzing all these different situations and possible outcomes in my mind. And all this time I thought I was just crazy :)

LOL Couch! You voting for who will definitely lose to Barrow? Seaver & McKinney are perfect! Horner is a good guy, but only polling in the single digits.

Wanna watch again? I swear, Seaver is better than any actress on SNL for laughs.

Isn't Carl's campaign manger (or something like that) also working for John Barrow?

Couch commented on Saturday, Jul 10, 2010 at 16:39 PM

I typically vote for Republicians who are weak, but have a chance to win in the primaries. It's more helpful than voting for a shoe in candidate.

southgapassion commented on Sunday, Jul 11, 2010 at 11:39 AM

She's currently working with

not Barrow.

Couch, you can't vote in the Republican Primary anyway, can you?

Couch commented on Sunday, Jul 11, 2010 at 12:30 PM

I'm a registered Republican. I vote in Republican Primaries, and then in the general election I typically vote for Democrats.

FYI comp.lsi.cad is a much better place for this type of query.

I wrote my CIF parser based Steven Rubin's now out-of-print CAD book.
It's at work, so can't get at the title until Monday.

If you're willing to look at code, there're a few choices:

1. Electric CAD written by Rubin et al and distributed under GNU Public
      License (GPL). See

2. XRLCAD written by yours truly, released under a BSD style license, so
      it's free for all. I don't remember if I handle any of the usual
      vendor extensions. See

      The version there is quite old, but should be usable. It was written
      well before the C++ standard came out, so you might need to make some
      changes (eg., the scope of variables declared in for statement and
      so on).

Most Popular Computers in History
classic computers

The nostalgia for classic computers is intense -- and for good reason. Lots of the people who would go on to create the tech industry as we know it were e-weaned on machines and accessories like these.

© Michal Fludra/Demotix/Corbis

As personal computers became affordable, must-have Internet gateways in the late 1990s, individual models took a backseat to larger brands. Dell didn't bother advertising special model names. It just advertised one major selling point: cheap. When Apple made a comeback with iMacs, and later MacBooks and MacBook Pros, you were either a Mac person or a PC person. Whether that PC was a Dell, or an HP, or an ASUS didn't make much difference.

But when the PC market was younger, smaller and much more expensive, things were different. Your PC was everything. In the late 1970s and 1980s, buying a computer was a huge investment, likely costing thousands of dollars and determining what kind of software you'd be running for the next several years. As a result, computer hobbyists picked favorites. And they stuck by them.

The wars between IBM fans, Tandy owners, Apple devotees and Commodore diehards were fiercer than any Mac versus PC argument. As a result, those early systems had an immense impact on those early home computer users, creating a generation of tech-savvy programmers. Ask any of them about their first (or favorite) computer, and they'll be able to tell you exactly what it was.

A few extremely popular breakout models sold millions of units. These are 10 of the most popular computers ever built. Your favorite may be among them.

RUSA Online Learning Choices, June 2013, AC2013, #B1313

The purpose of these document is to provide context for the discussion of RUSA online learning, particularly webinars and other one-session offerings such as discussion forums.  The information in the framing questions (PowerPoint document #B1313c) and the  draft of online learning definitions (#B1313b) and the webinar timeline (#B1313a) provide background.  If there is something missing, add it or ask for it, in the comments on Connect.  It is difficult to be comprehensive.  I was also trying for a reasonably short document.  (Sorry if I missed that goal!).  These documents were discussed at the April Board meeting, but you may want to review them.

The document that we will specifically discuss at our Annual meeting covers choices (#B1313).  These choices are not mutually exclusive and several of them could work together.  They can also be taken apart and combined.  They are to generate ideas and further discussion.  Each choice comes with a set of advantages and disadvantages. It is quite possible that there are other choices not listed.  Please feel free to add additional choices (along with advantages and disadvantages) in your comments on Connect or during the Board meeting.

This discussion are not likely to end with a motion during this meeting. Please be prepared with your thoughts on the best options for RUSA online learning.  The intent is that our discussion will coalesce to recommendations that we can have as action items for a fall meeting.  Webinars and other online learning are vital to our members and critical to RUSA as an organization, so hopefully we will find our best way forward soon.

Three Reasons 2012 Should Be a Good Year for Cable VOD

Author: Bob Scheffler, Director, Next-Generation Video Solutions

With all of the TV Everywhere buzz, it’s easy to let growing levels of cable VOD services slip under the radar. That’s a mistake. Here are three reasons why video-on-demand should have a banner year in 2012.

Narrowcast QAMs are getting cheaper and easier to deploy.

New high-density edge QAMs mean cable operators can implement additional narrowcast video QAMs more cost effectively and in greater quantities than ever before. At the same time, the cost of video QAMs used for VOD and other edge QAM-based services is falling rapidly.  Video QAMs have dropped below the $100-per-downstream level, making it less CAPEX-intensive (from a QAM perspective) to add more VOD channels, and, for the time being, more cost effective than adding Internet capacity to support TV Everywhere services.

Canoe has big plans for VOD ad insertion this year.

According to Vice President Bruce Dilger, two to three cable operators are planning to deploy Canoe’s new platform for dynamic VOD ad insertion this year. Instead of waiting days or weeks to swap out a VOD ad, these operators will be able to switch up content within a 24-hour window, and they’ll be able to target specific audiences based on viewer demographics rather than just geography. The new ad platform means new revenue, and new revenue means more cable VOD growth.

VOD comes in HD.

While TV Everywhere services are multiplying, there is still no guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) for HD content delivery. Online video is still a best-effort proposition and in some cases it faces downstream constraints found in lower throughput legacy broadband networks.  On the other hand, because VOD is delivered over a managed network, cable operators can ensure the quality of HD content comes through to the intended audience. For the many viewers who want to take advantage of their HD flat-screen TVs, cable VOD will continue to have a leg up over online or over-the-top video for some time to come.

Delivering the Most Advanced Digital Cable TV Network in Malaysia

Motorola Mobility will provide Malaysia’s Asian Broadcasting Network (ABN) the equipment and services to launch the country’s most advanced digital cable TV network in the second quarter of 2012.

Within the next five years, the new network will give six-million households access to more than 200 channels of news, education, entertainment, movies, sports and local programming. Motorola Mobility’s technology will enable ABN to also support future services such as video-on-demand, social TV and interactive gaming, alongside high-speed Internet and voice services, establishing ABN as a true triple-play provider. For more information, read the full press release.

Motorola APEX3000 Universal Edge QAM Video

Yesterday we announced the Motorola APEX3000 high density Universal Edge QAM. The APEX3000 delivers industry-leading density to meet operators’ needs to cost effectively address increasing demands for narrowcast services such as VOD and nDVR. We were able to capture Chris Brown, Director of Product Management, Motorola Mobility, on the SCTE show floor discussing the benefits of the APEX3000 and how it helps cable operators. Take a look below.

Introducing the APEX3000 Universal Edge QAM: 1,536 QAM Channels and a Bridge to CCAP

Author: Chris Brown, Director of Product Management

The SCTE show opens today and news from Motorola Mobility is just rolling in.  Today we’ve launched the APEX3000 Universal Edge QAM. It’s a super-dense chassis with 32 ports and 48 channels per port, supporting 1,536 QAM channels. The APEX3000 is designed not only to meet growing demand for narrowcast video, but also to serve as a bridge product for future rollouts of a Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP).

In an earlier post discussing the concept of a distributed CCAP model, my colleague Jeff Walker wrote about the ability to install a high-density Edge QAM in a cable network today with channels left over for future DOCSIS® data use. The APEX3000 was built with this capacity in mind. Many of our cable operator customers are facing overwhelming demand for more narrowcast channels to support growing VOD libraries and network DVR trials. However, since few are ready to make the jump to CCAP today, there is clear need for a product that can provide more channels now, yet still transition easily to a CCAP architecture later. The APEX3000 does both by offering unprecedented channel density in a 4RU unit, and leaving excess capacity available for a distributed CCAP architecture where DOCSIS channels are transmitted to the APEX chassis and then placed by the APEX into the same RF port along with video QAMs.

The goal with this new Universal Edge QAM is to link legacy architectures with a new converged platform. By doing this, we can help reduce upgrade expenses and support the scale of narrowcast video capacity that cable providers need. It’s a “pay-as-you-grow” QAM model, offering investment protection even as the industry migrates to CCAP for converged video and data delivery.

The Case for Distributed CCAP – High-Density Edge QAMs and the Converged Cable Access Platform

 Author: Jeff Walker, Director of CMTS Product Marketing

While progress continues with the Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP, formerly CMAP and Cesar), there are still many questions surrounding when large scale deployments will begin, and how to continue meeting new bandwidth demands in the present while upgrading IP infrastructure for the future. One of the major debates has been whether operators should move forward with an integrated CCAP architecture, or a modular one. The industry has largely settled on an integrated approach; however, even that decision is complicated by questions around how to deploy an integrated platform.

One of the options for operators to consider is a distributed CCAP deployment. Not to be confused with the modular option, a distributed deployment transmits DOCSIS channels to an external edge QAM via M-CMTS.  A distributed deployment still paves the way for an integrated CCAP architecture, but it also provides flexibility in the migration from traditional data and video infrastructures to the new CCAP model of delivery. Given today’s demand for narrowcast video channels, there is strong incentive for operators to install high-density, chassis-based edge QAMs in select markets. However, operators typically won’t need the full capacity available in these new hardware installations, and with an extra 8-16 QAM channels per port left unused, there is room to reallocate a portion of the total QAMs available to DOCSIS traffic in the future.

This is where the idea of a flexible migration comes into play. For systems that require more narrowcast video channels today, the distributed CCAP approach lets operators target capacity upgrades with new edge QAMs that can still be used in future CCAP upgrades. Those targeted edge QAM deployments allow operators to support more VOD content, a greater number of switched digital video channels, and new network-based DVR trials – all of which have the potential to drive new revenue and keep cable providers ahead of competitive services.

For many cable operators, CCAP will be the next step on the path to all-IP delivery. How the industry gets from here to there, however, will depend on the specific needs of each individual cable system. Taking a distributed CCAP approach to deployments is a logical option in many cases, and one that provides flexibility for meeting today’s needs as well as tomorrow’s.

Foreign Policy Garvan Walshe

Garvan Walshe: The Prime Minister was right to stand up to Chinese extortion. Real alliances are found with other democratic countries, such as the United States.

Garvan Walshe is a former National and International Security Adviser to the Conservative Party. Follow Garvan on Twitter

Chinese diplomats appear uniformly excellent. Polished, fluent, articulate, urbane, seemingly immersed in the culture of the countries to which they are posted, in this field at least, Beijing appears to have found the best its 1.3 billion people can provide. They need all the skill they can muster to defend the clumsy foreign policy their masters in the Communist Party insist on executing.

Last week the Telegraph reported that David Cameron's rift with China could cost UK billions. Infrastructure investment, it explained, was at risk, because he had defended democracy, met the Dalai Lama, and, no doubt, because he had bamboozled them into granting the Security Council’s imprimatur for intervention to depose Gaddafi. Nice HS2 line you’ve got planned. Shame if you couldn’t raise the money to build it.

To this it’s possible to reply: nice hoard of excess savings you have there, are you really sure it’s such a good idea to sink it into pieces of paper with pictures of dead American presidents on one side and the all-seeing-eye of God on the other?

China needs projects in which to invest its savings. Notwithstanding Dieter Helm’s alarm about the reliability of the UK infrastructure financing environment (PDF), British infrastructure can still be a useful alternative to the currency of the country whose aircraft carriers the Chinese navy is building enormous missiles to defend against.

There are deals to be done, but we’ll only get the best for Britain if we treat them as commercial transactions, and avoid the ancient autocrats’ ruse that trades advantageous terms for longer-term dependence. This has an old and inglorious history from the pensions James I paid to pliant parliamentarians; the vast subsidy Louis XIV provided his grandson, to the web of corruption in Mubarak’s egypt so masterfully chronicled by Alaa al Aswany and Gazprom’s quest to build a pipeline that would allow it to isolate Poland without cutting off Germany. China’s attempt to play David Cameron off against François Hollande is merely another example of foreign policy as bastard feudalism.

 The Prime Minister is viscerally attached to strong Britain. Little is more wounding to him than evidence of his, or his country’s weakness, whether the source is a foreign country, or a British judge ruling against the extradition of Abu Qatada. Those who accuse him of lacking principle should understand that he was acting true to character in standing up to Beijing’s bluster.

Three years in office have taught him that Britain, a medium-sized power, can only do so as part of an alliance of like-minded democracies. Qatar and Saudi Arabia are proving extraordinarily unreliable allies in Syria, funding and arming extremists. Dictatorships lack the institutions to force their governments to observe treaties. Alliances with them are only stable when the regimes are significantly weaker than us.  Britain’s no longer powerful enough to enforce those alliances on its own.  In the United States this week he and Barack Obama have discussed the transatlantic free trade pact: think of it as a commercial counterpart to NATO that will strengthen the West’s economy and bring its markets closer together.

This is not a call to resist the rise of the BRICS. Quite the contrary. We need to convince emerging democracies, in particular, Brazil and India, that their security is best protected by an alliance of free nations. Institutions like these,  not going cap-in-hand to Beijing, provide the soundest guarantee of our security and prosperity. Perhaps David Cameron might like to encourage Barack Obama  to make a bipartisan gesture and revive John McCain’s plan for a “League of Democracies.”

Syria: 'Wag the Dog' Towards a Major Mideast War?

Syria: 'Wag the Dog' Towards a Major Mideast War? (9-4-13)The United States is being manipulated into another even bigger Mideast War, and the only thing that can prevent it is an informed citizenry. The upcoming debate in Congress, scheduled to begin on September 9, will tell the tale.

President Obama lied to the nation, last Saturday, when he told us that a US attack on Syria would be "narrow" and "limited", and would not involve boots on the ground.

As I write, US special forces may already in Syria. According to Israeli on-line intel news Debkafile, several days before the chemical attack in Damascus hundreds of armed rebels crossed over into Syria from a newly established CIA base in Jordan. The rebels were led by US commanders.

The Debkafile report was subsequently confirmed by the French paper Le Figaro, which claimed that CIA personnel accompanied the rebels across the border.

Debkafile also reported that Centcom, the US military command for the Middle East, has established a new underground war room near Amman, Jordan, for the purpose of commanding Syrian operations.

Time Warner Delivers Modem, Cockroaches

Maybe Time Warner needs to include a decontamination protocol when it transfers reusable equipment between customers. Natalie writes:

On Tuesday, April 15, 2008 a Time Warner representative came to our home to install the digital telephone modem which would also provide our internet service.
My husband observed an insect walking on the modem box and asked what it was and the employee seemed dazed and confused.

After the installer left, my husband and I saw cockroach after cockroach emerge from the modem. We killed them as quickly as we could. We have never seen roaches in our house before. Our house is free-standing and many yards away from neighbor homes.
I called Time Warner insisting that they come to remove the modem. The woman I spoke with insisted that I had to be wrong and that it was impossible for cockroaches to be in the modem. She refused my request that Time Warner come on the following day to remove and replace the offending modem, which housed a swarm of roaches.
We wrapped the modem up in plastic and duct tape.
On Saturday, April 19, 2008 when the representative came to replace the modem, we had arranged for a witness to be with us. We took the modem to the front porch, removed the plastic bag, and a number of cockroach bodies fell out. The Time Warner worker agreed that modems sometimes came from other people’s homes and were reused. He suggested that the modem may have first been used in a contaminated home or that it was possible that the first installer may have had cockroaches in his truck.
In the meantime, cockroaches of all sizes and ages are in our study. We try to kill them as we can. We would not have had this infestation were it not for the Time Warner modem.
Yours sincerely,
Columbus, OH

  1. Parting says:

    Wow! First bedbugs, now cockroaches. It doesn’t give me any taste to ”recycle/reuse” by buying used stuff.

    Now I’m going to have nightmares.

    No used modems for me!

  2. Manok says:

    love the pic. Ceepshow was the best.

  3. jefffromNY says:

    Thats really gross. Ugh, I feel badly for this person, some filthy person used the modem and now she is paying. Jeez Time Warner, do something right!

  4. HalOfBorg says:

    “They’re Creeping Up On You” was good, but I liked “The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill” more. Good part for Stephen King.

  5. juri squared says:

    Wow. I think it would be appropriate to request Time Warner pay for an exterminator.

    This is one nightmare story, ew.

  6. Techno Viking says:

    Fell sorry fro you that you had to deal with roaches. My advice, buy your own cable modem as I have and you will have no worries. Make sure it’s DOCSIS 2.0 though.

  7. KogeLiz says:

    oh man. this is nasty.
    i have seen roaches get into everything (Thanks to Dirty Jobs)… so I wouldn’t doubt that it came that way.

    Question. OP states the CS rep refused her request for a technician to come and get the modem (which is rude)… but then OP says someone came to get the modem.

    Although, not really Time Warner’s fault… because they did come and remove the modem and I doubt they planted roaches in the modem… it’s still nasty.

  8. forgottenpassword says:

    cockroches CAN get into just about anything. Unless the modem is completely & utterly sealed.

    I work at a company that has had a serious cockroach problem for as long as I can remember. They spray every week. The tiny, young cockroaches are so small…. that they can just about get into ANYTHING that isnt completely sealed.

  9. Starfury says:

    They’re not bugs, they’re a feature!

  10. Manok says:

    when i lived in hawaii, ants got everywhere. One day I was playing with my dreamcast and it wouldn’t turn on. I opened the cover and ants started poring out of it. Bastards made a nest out of it.

    i took it apart and cleaned it and it was fine. I guess bugs like electronics for some reason.

  11. arkangel318 says:

    Ugh! That modem would be achieving escape velocity if that happened to me.

  12. Falconfire says:

    I have seen roaches come out of telephone mouthpieces so yes, they CAN get into anything, even as small as a 1 mm hole.

  13. lonewolf333 says:

    Just get some Raid.

  14. mmejanvier says:

    creepy crawly

    I’m going to have nightmares now

  15. ninjatales says:

    Creepshow! My favorite was FATHER’S DAY but that cockroach one was equally as bad.

    But sick. Cockroaches coming out of the modem. *pukes*

  16. Daniel says:

    Wow, that is one of the worst things I’ve seen on here. And for them to deny a common practice was in use.

    Reminds me of my old school… (the cockroaches, not cable modems.)

    I wish the victim the best luck =/

  17. omyard says:

    How could this happen? Modems usually don’t have any openings other then small opening for the cables. Cockroaches are pretty big, for insects, so how could one climb inside let alone multiple?

  18. Heresy Of Truth says:

    She’ll need to get an exterminator in. They use a great fungal based past, that poisons not just the insect that eats it, but the others in the nest. It works well, and fast.

    Barring that, boric acid powder will work.

    All the sprays and bombs in the world will just move them around.

    I feel for her. I learned all this the hard way.

  19. magic8ball says:

    @Starfury: +1

  20. Yuck… the greatest cockroach fact: they’ll live for a week without their heads when they eventually die of thirst… mother nature and evolution at its finest!

  21. Candyman says:

    You either must be thinking of another insect, or have never had any experiences with roaches. If the latter, lucky you. Roaches can get pretty big, under the right circumstances like living in the wide outdoors. But indoor roaches tend to be quite a bit smaller, usually around a centimeter or two tops, and the babies are well under a half millimeter.

  22. Candyman says:

    @dorksandlosers: Not true. Tear the head off one for yourself and you’ll see. :-)

    Roaches have gathered a number of urban myths about themselves. Another myth is that they’d survive a nuclear explosion. They’re much more resistant to radiation than we are, but not THAT resistant. And other insects are more resistant than they are, so they wouldn’t be the “only survivors” either.

  23. Copper says:

    Wow, that is disgusting. While I’ve personally never seen small enough cockroaches that could crawl out of a modem, I don’t doubt it. Those things are insane…and disgusting. Hire a pest control person and send the bill to Time Warner.

  24. Since all the cable cos recycle equipment this is not uncommon. When I was a neighborhood tech I used to bomb my van monthly to get rid of the roaches from boxes. YOUR NEIGHBORS ARE DIRTY, GET USED TO IT. That’s where the bugs came from!

  25. bben46 says:

    Some years ago I worked in a shop where I repaired VCRs. We kept a can of bug spray on the bench for the occasional box that came with a roach infestation. You would be amazed at how many roaches can fit in a small piece of electronics with holes so small you can’t see how they got in.

  26. leprofie says:

    Now that’s “buggy” hardware!

  27. Nighthawk Foo says:

  28. biikman says:

    @Techno Viking:

    Timewarner requires use of modems they supply. You cannot purchase and use your own, at least where I am in Central NY.

  29. sabrinad says:

    OH OH OH So so nasty! Man, I hope you can get the roaches before they spread. That’s horrible. Get an exterminator now and start spreading boric acid around, don’t wait for Time-Warner to get its head out of its ass with regard to whose fault this is. Then take them to small claims court to recoup your costs. The most important thing is getting rid of those roaches!

  30. @biikman: Wouldn’t that be nice? I’m in central NY also… god that would make life SO much easier, if we could…

  31. STrRedWolf says:

    As many would say: Get an exterminator now and take care of the roaches. Bill Time Warner for the cost, and have a lawyer handy.

  32. tosshin says:

    Cockroaches aren’t something you can just kill as you see. You are going to need to take action otherwise you will be in the middle of a full blown infestation. Call your local exterminator (ehrlich is pretty good and comes with a guarantee), or diy ([www.doyourownpestcontrol.com]).

    German roaches are the worst since they reproduce the fastest and have more resistances. One german roach egg can turn into a full blown infestation within 6 months. Don’t wait, act now. Seriously!

  33. mmcnary says:

    I have to second the boric acid powder idea. I cleared out a kitchen that way and never feared for my safety or that of my 4-legged pets. The secret is to ‘puff’ out the powder where ever you see the roaches. They don’t usually travel more than 6 feet from their home, and they will track the powder back there where they will lick it off their legs and die. Then the other roaches will eat the body and die also.

  34. chrisjames says:

    Any local Time Warner offices? What about the dispatch center for the tech? I could think of a few better ways to have returned that modem.

  35. try updating the firmware, i’ve heard that’s known to remove bugs

  36. ElizabethD says:

    Cockroaches respect no socioeconomic class or hygiene habits. Calling someone with a cockroach problem a “filthy person” is just wrong.

  37. @ElizabethD: While that may have been an unfair generalization, it is true that keeping a neat house goes a long way towards avoiding getting cockroaches, especially in Northern areas (such as Columbus).

  38. Illiterati says:

    Back when Ma Bell was the only phone company and your only option was to rent your phone from them, my mom worked at the counter where customers returned their used phones. She and her coworkers wore rubber gloves and held open a plastic bag for the customer to slide their used phone into. They would then tie the bag shut. Mom would tell horror stories of cockroaches filling some of those bags after they’d been sealed off for a few minutes. After years of hearing those disgusting tales I’m not surprised that cockroaches are emerging from cable modems. I’ve been lucky so far with cable boxes and such, but one day I’m sure I’ll host a few dozen uninvited guests for tv and snacks.

  39. tdatl says:

    I’ve seen something similar. My company has mostly remote workers, and we received a desktop PC at the office from one who quit. It was full of dozens of dead roaches and a few live ones. Some got out before anyone opened it, and we’ve had a cockroach problem in the office ever since.

  40. scoobydoo says:

    @Techno Viking: You can’t buy phone/internet cable modems anywhere. They are provisioned specially for the cable company.

  41. Vastarien202 says:

    Yeah, it dosen’t matter how wealthy or poor you are, or even if you clean like your hair’s on fire. If there are bugs in the walls, they will stay there, no matter what you do. My apartment has plenty of these six-legged invaders; we have tried everything we can to get rid of them, but the whole building is infested, and has been for at least ten years before we ever set foot in it. I did get most of my kitchen back by using a spray made of Garlic, soap, and Cyenne red pepper powder. Non-toxic, smells great, and the bugs hate it. Works for me!

  42. KogeLiz says:

    Why would she bill Time Warner?
    Did they plant the roaches in there?
    Did they not have someone come and pick up the modem?

  43. flipx says:

    O M F*ING G Eww

  44. Pink Puppet says:

    The game shop I work for buys back just about anything after we look it over, and we’re shocked by where some roaches can get into things. PS2s, VHS tapes, DVD cases… the list goes on. It’s a miracle our shop hasn’t been infested just from people trying to sell us stuff.

  45. Elvisisdead says:

    @lonewolf333: Or, get some Martin’s Viper. Awesome stuff if you’re not scared of handling chemicals and doing your own extermination. It will kill them, not drive them to other parts of your house (which they’ve already explored, anyway).

  46. The Porkchop Express says:

    @Manok: warmth and tiny crevices that make them feel safe.

  47. farker says:

    If it were completely sealed, that thing would overheat. Obviously the critters got into the vent holes/slots of the modem. Disgusting. Hopefully TW rectifies the situation and offers/agrees to pay for extermination.

    Would it be unreasonable to expect them to open up the modems and blow out all the dust in there? If that was part of their protocol, they would have discovered all the baby cockroaches/eggs inside.

  48. farker says:

    If you clean your house often enough and use baits/traps you will see less roaches. Sure they live in everybody’s home, but you’re less likely to see them scurry about if you keep your place clean.

    I’d say we clean our house somewhat regularly and only see a roach every three or four months or so.

  49. Camon says:

    This is not the first instance I have heard of this. I used to work for CableOne and we had several instances where customers recieved digital boxes and they were infested with roaches. Apparently one of them also had a dead rodent in it as well.

    Thanks to those stories from working there I always pick up any equipment with Cox at their offices and inspect it before leaving.

    I feel bad for this person because roaches are a pain in the ass. Once you got ’em you will never get rid of them.

  50. econobiker says:

    Roaches liked the electronic warmth from the modem. It was probably on the floor of some other nasty person’s home/apt. I would have bagged it and brought it to the local cable office and pulled it out on the front desk for them to see.

  51. Daniels says:

    Why would she bill Time Warner?
    Did they plant the roaches in there?
    Did they not have someone come and pick up the modem?

    So it’s not Time Warner’s job to make sure they give you a clean modem?

  52. stezton says:

    Yeah, I agree with econobiker about them liking the warmth. My brother left his PC at a friend’s not-so-clean house because he had a cable modem. After a few months he opened it up to upgrade it had a bunch of roaches in it. I’m glad I wasn’t there. NASTY!

  53. Shark1998 says:

    @Manok: There are ants that love electronics for some reason. I had a problem with them in Florida, they got into my computer and shorted the thing out. I am glad they didn’t cause a fire…

How to Get the Best Deal on Cable or Satellite TV

Comcast. DirecTV. Dish Network. Oh, we love to hate them, don’t we? But without these (and others), where would we get the mind-numbing entertainment that has America hypnotized? But of course we don’t want to pay a lot to be comatose, so that’s why Bible Money Matters’ suggestions on how to get the best deal when signing up for cable or satellite TV are so valuable.

His post details the process he went through to get a cable package retailing for $84.99/month for only $36.99/month and offers several tips along the way. But here’s the one tip that really stood out to us:

After some more research on FatWallet I found that most people weren’t able to get the great deals on their cable bill just by ordering service through the website, or by phone. The trick was to go on the company’s online chat and to work with the sales agents on there. From what I could gather, the agents when you call are actually Comcast employees, and they toe a hard line on giving discounts or special deals. The chat agents are outsourced, and are more likely to give you a deal. I found the chat agents much more helpful later on when I was ordering.

Really? Has anyone else had this experience? Do you think it’s true or did he just happen to get lucky using online chat to get a deal?

Dozens walk away from Peru jet crash

Dozens walk away from Peru jet crash — Trudging through knee-deep mud in a hail storm, at least 58 people managed to escape a flaming Peruvian airliner that splintered as it crash-landed in the Amazon jungle, killing 37. One aviation expert called it a “miracle” that so many walked away. (AP)

August deadliest air-travel month in years — The crash-landing of a Peruvian airliner was the fifth major airline accident this month, making August the deadliest month for plane disasters since May 2002. (AP)

Spate of crashes says little about safety decline — Decades of crash statistics and the experts who study those numbers say that the recent spate of accidents probably says little about safety in the skies. (USA Today)

Storm’s surprise attack evolved as wave overtook depression — Eleven days ago, Tropical Depression 10 dissolved in the mid-Atlantic Ocean and disappeared from the storm consciousness of South Florida. Wednesday morning, it was back as Tropical Depression 12, a disorganized flock of clouds and showers in the Bahamas. Friday morning, it may be Hurricane Katrina, swirling ashore in South Florida almost before anyone has a chance to run to Home Depot for plywood. (The Palm Beach Post)

Airports, transit expect trouble during storm — Tropical Storm Katrina will put a crimp in travel plans today and officials urged some coastal residents to flee the storm that was expected to strengthen into a weak hurricane before making landfall by early Friday. (Sun Sentinel)

Potential for long strike emerges
— Northwest Airlines said Wednesday that it is prepared to use replacement mechanics “for an indefinite period of time,” suggesting that it’s willing to endure a long strike. (Star Tribune)

Is no gas tank safe? Rising prices prompt increased theft — Sky-high fuel prices are spawning an uptick in sales of locking gas caps amid scattered reports of siphoning thefts around the nation. (USA Today)

Hawaii to cap cost of gas — Surrounded by ocean, with just two refineries to make its fuel, Hawaii pays the nation’s highest prices for gas. Tired of those chronically high costs, Hawaii will begin limiting the wholesale price of gasoline next week, the first such effort in the United States. (San Francisco Chronicle)

Maestro of the Spirit

Ever since I was a boy in Siberia, I knew of Maestro Rostropovich as a legendary cellist and conductor whose generous personality inspires everyone. After the deaths of master violinist Yehudi Menuhin and beloved conductor Leonard Bernstein, it's Mstislav Rostropovich, at 77, who is the world ambassador of classical music — the last of that generation who can communicate music's wonder. He's like my grandfather. He's my hero. And I call him my angel, because he supports me as a mentor and we have more than a musical friendship.

Growing up the Soviet city of Baku, he always...

Christmas Comes But Once

For most of the U.S. it was Nov. 19, a crisp autumn Sunday. For a home in Cheyenne, Wyo. and a pale, three-year-old boy with a freshly barbered cowlick, it was Christmas. Ten doctors had agreed last month that young Forest ("Nubbins") Hoffman, 22 Ibs., bedridden for more than six weeks with incurable sarcoma of the bladder, would probably not live until Dec. 25.

Cheyenne found out about Nubbins when his father went looking for a Christmas tree. Within a week's time, newspaper readers across the land were looking at pictures of the...

ED UCATIO N: An Independent Livelihood

At 3:45 p.m. one day last week, President Bancroft Beatley of Boston's Simmons College rose up before the girls of his senior class, picked up a trowel, and cried, "Come on, let's get to work." The president had a lot to do. At 3:45, he slapped in mortar for the cornerstone of a new dining hall. At 3:52, he was doing the same for a new dormitory, and at 3:57 he repeated the process for still another. On its 50th birthday last week, flourishing (1,400 students) Simmons College was making quite a show.

Though not always so...

AVIATION: On the Up & Up

When Floyd B. Odium's Atlas Corp. bought control of Consolidated Vultee Aircraft in 1947, it looked as if Speculator Odium had made a mistake. That year Convair lost $32.4 million on its C-24O twin-engine airliner, proceeded to drop about $11 million more on it in 1948. But even before the Korean war began, Convair's B-36 bomber had become the Air Force's intercontinental bomber and Convair began to make money. From war orders, Convair made $3,700,000 in 1949, more than $10 million in 1950.

In 1951, its net dipped to $7,700,000. But last week...

Sport: The Swordsmen

The intricate, formal combat in Michigan State College's Jenison Field House seemed a far cry from the back-alley swordplay of François Villon or the duels-to-the-death of the Three Musketeers. The 20th-century field of honor was limited to the narrow boundaries of a long rubber mat, leaving little room for spectacular derring-do. Four judges and a director hovered around each bout to call the touches and check on fencing protocol. The undergraduates who crossed blades in the National Collegiate Fencing Championships last week could be sure no opponent would blind them with a handful of dust; no one would slip a sword...

    Yeah it's not really an either or thing. Depends on what you're doing. For example, if you're studying a dying language, it most likely has no written record, so the only way you can actually study it is by actually listening to the few remaining speakers. Other languages, for example dead languages, have no more living speakers and only a written record. I do more of theoretical and mathematical study, using mathematical logic and syntax to create voice-recognizing computer programs.

    Short minds? You realize you called him an embarrassment because he speaks in Ebonics, his everyday vernacular, on Twitter? I'm sure he is an embarrassment for other reasons, but you can't judge a person for the dialect they speak in. The majority of Black Americans speak or know Ebonics, and most of them are capable of switching between Ebonics and Standard English depending on where they are. It doesn't make them an embarrassment because they speak that way on informal social networking sites. Sure, there were a few punctuation errors, but most of the grammatical "errors" he made follow the grammatical rules of Ebonics.

    A punctuation error is missing a comma or a period, like many people, black and white, Standard English and Ebonics, do on the Internet, even here on CowboysZone. A grammatical error is when you violate the grammatical rules of your dialect. It isn't an error when he speaks in the same Ebonics that millions of other Black Americans speak. You can't tell me millions of people are constantly making errors when they speak.

    Is Ware worth 13-14 million? Will he be in two years from now?

    I mean what is the end game with Ware? Break it down for me so I can see it how you see it.

    This guy could get us a first round draft pick perhaps more and frees us room to secure Carter, Lee, and Claiborne.

    Next year will be crucial to see how much he is worth, i dont rule him out just yet. He was a dissapointment this year, but i would like to see him fully healthy again before i make up my mind.
    And i doubt a first pick in this weak draft is worth getting rid of him.

    You don't think the offense is opened up with Witten on the team? What a silly notion. Dez caught 92 passes, which was 10th in the league. Austin was 30th in the league with his 66 receptions. If someone would have stepped up there would have been more receptions for the #3 wide receiver as well. Having Witten on the team does not limit the offense. Quite the opposite. With him roaming the middle it opens up the outside for Dez and Austin.

    It is also presumptuous to think that Hanna can step right in and start giving enough production that would help the entire offense get better. He is not ready for that role yet.

    I am all for fixing the offensive line. That is the key. Getting rid of Witten to do that doesn't help the team. It is too much of a trade off. They can still find ways to improve the offensive line and keep Witten. Talk about under appreciated if you think replacing Witten's production would be an easy thing to do.

    For one let Romo play this season without an extension and see how he performs. Although the line has its problems he makes his share of mistakes as well. If all fails then we move on from him and Garrett and go after a QB in either this years draft or next years.

    Ratliff will play his final season this year and then I think he is gone. Signing Melton would make for a good 1-2 punch up the middle.

    As far as Ware and Witten are concerned I want those 2 playing for us. You don't just cut a TE who broke the receiving record for a TE and a pass rusher who can produce a double digit sack season hobbled. Yet some will say keep Spencer. I say no, had he played the way he did from the get go he and Ware would have been a scary tandem. With that said we are getting rid of the right pass rusher in Spencer. We can't just cut and trade everyone. The cost of the cap hit and replacement makes absolutely no sense.

    From the Groin in camp Ware was never healthy the whole year and by the last few games SHOULD have been on IR.

    Giving Romo an extension allows us to use a lot of his cap space to get rid of these contracts this year. See how he does? Romo has had a 90 QB rating or better every year since he became the starter. He'll do as well as the team allows him to.

    Those saying keep Ware, to what end? You think his injury problems are going to get better? Not worse as he gets older? It was the same thing the year before.

    Restructuring Carr will save us the most. As far as Ware goes, letting him go now would come at a cost. What would be the hit for cutting ties with him? Despite injuries he was still able to be productive and when was the last time he missed a game for us? We need to address other issues before we try to get rid of our sack leader. Ware still has productive seasons under his belt.

    I completely agree with this except for the fact that if we dont extend him this season and bring his cap number down its going to hurt our ability to improve the team. I really think for the long term though that we need to see if he can change his habits.

    Im really scared to pay a 33 year old QB with a history of bad decisions at the worst times the money he is going to demand to extend. We have to quit making these contract mistakes with older declining veterans.

    On the flip side, I remember the Hutchinson / leaf / Wright / Testicleverde years, Im in no hurry to go back there.

    I agree with you...Ware is one of the tools the Cowboys have that can help fix this team (both in Cap and trade value)...... Wouldn't like it...not one bit.. but know one really like's good players to be traded...Jerry will be forced to do something and soon....the Cowboys are up against the CAP wall.

    Patriots traded Richard Seymore for a 1st,,,,,,So why not offer to trade Ware to the Patriots for a 1st round and QB Ryan Mallet. Solve two issue with one trade.

    This is the worst possible idea I've heard, short of cutting everyone, signing all UFA, and trading all our 2013 draft choices for 2014.

    Start brand new as an expansion team, minus the league roster draft.

    Witten is coming off of a 110 catch season with a 1,039 yard...I'd say his cost/production is still quite high. Hanna has had some solid catches and I love his athleticism, but he's doing so while guys like Witten, Dez, etc... occupy the defenses focus. It's a different story to be 'the guy' at a position.

    Ware played hurt last year period...and still produced what amounts to a very good season for many players with 11.5 sacks & 5 forced fumbles. And of course he had 19.5 sacks in 2011.

    By contrast...Jason Pierre-Paul recorded 6.5 sacks last season, with no sacks over the last 7 games.

    The Cowboys have handed out some bad long-term deals...but Ware & Witten weren't among those. Guys like Rat, Austin, etc. are far greater problems in terms of cost vs. production.

    If we could get similar production that guys like Fasano and Bennett are getting in Miami and New York from Hanna, the benefits of additional resources spent else where would more than make up the difference.

    No one is saying they aren't still productive, rather its prudent to get value out of them if we can, while we still can.

    GB...I don't completely disagree with the premise of what you're saying. Get something for your most valuable assets while you can. But I would be more inclined to do so if they decided to blow it up & completely rebuild. If that's not the case then they'd simply be creating more holes and would have to spend some of those additional resources they obtained to fill them. And in this case, we're talking about replacing 2 HOF caliber players...not just 'good' players, but 'great' one's. As you know, it's quite hard to find elite pass rushers for instance.

    They would have to definitively define what direction they wanted to go before trading away those types of players IMO.

rattle: Graphical User Interface for Data Mining in R

The R Analytic Tool To Learn Easily (Rattle) provides a Gnome (RGtk2) based interface to R functionality for data mining. The aim is to provide a simple and intuitive interface that allows a user to quickly load data from a CSV file (or via ODBC), transform and explore the data, build and evaluate models, and export models as PMML (predictive modelling markup language) or as scores. All of this with knowing little about R. All R commands are logged and commented through the log tab. Thus they are available to the user as a script file or as an aide for the user to learn R or to copy-and-paste directly into R itself. Rattle also exports a number of utility functions and the graphical user interface, invoked as rattle(), does not need to be run to deploy these.

OUR KIWI CREATION RESEARCH GEOLOGIST, Mark Simpson continues to keep his eyes open for great evidence of creation and rapid deposition. He is pictured here after discovering a sedimentary sandstone dyke south of Auckland in the old coal field near Huntly. The sandstone under the coal has pushed its way through the overlaying coal seam and layers. This meant the sandstone under the coal was still soft and fluid while the coal formed on top. It pushed up through the coal without breaking it, so the coal was also still soft and fluid. It then proceeded through the rock layers many metres above the coal seam. All of which tells us the sediments and the coal were not laid down slowly one after the other over millions of years. Pray for Mark as he continues to look for any field observations that point to creation and catastrophic flood deposition.
