|This is National Radiologic Technology Week
This is National Radiologic Technology Week. The week-long celebration calls attention to the important role medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals at All Children's Hospital play in patient care and health care safety.
The ACH Radiology Department, including the cath lab and the Interventional Radiology Department, is comprised of technologists that specialize in diagnostic radiology, CAT Scan, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, ultrasound and interventional radiology procedures as well as cardiac cath lab procedures.
All of the technologists at All Children's Hospital hold a national certification in their area of specialty. More than 50 technologists work on our main campus and at many of our outpatient locations. These individuals provide patient care with a focus on safety and reducing radiation dosage when possible. Their efforts are supported by our radiologists, clerical staff, and technical assistants.
All Children's is fortunate to have such a talented group of professionals assisting our patients.

What started out as a concept to designate a bike path for people of the area to enjoy has taken steps to tentatively be realized as a part of the community.
Representatives of the Shawnee Recreation Trail, Inc., are meeting with members of the city of Portsmouth's Economic Development and Sustainability Committee to inform them about recent developments.
Barb Bradbury, Shawnee Recreation Trail spokeswoman, said this concept dates back about seven years.
"Our idea was to have (bike) path from Second Street to Earl Thomas Conley Park in West Portsmouth, that would go over the historic old stone road, through the bottom road and through the final lock of the Ohio Erie Canal. It was a great concept, even though it (the path) would flood," Bradbury said.
She said it's not uncommon to have bike trails that are subject to flooding.
"We ran into some bumps along the road and did not have clear access at the point where it would meet Second Street. So, it kind of died," Bradbury said.
Bradbury said the group had attempted a number of times over the years to bring the concept back to life. She said the initial group was able to raise about $50,000 that will likely be put to use with the current concept.
"We talked with some of the contributors about what should be done with the money and they encouraged us to give it one more try. So, earlier this year we pulled together and made the announcement that we were going forward with a renewed effort," Bradbury said.
Bradbury said after a few public meetings it was clear to organizers there was interest from the community for such a trail to exist.
"I think there is interest from the community because a lot of factors that exist within our community such as obesity, poor health and our health rankings," Bradbury said. "After some conversations we decided a different route to go for the immediate future. We wanted to go in the city."
She said the thought was to help make Portsmouth a bicycle-friendly community.
Part of the groups efforts would require the education of residents when it comes to awareness and respect for bicylists and to help drivers realize that the road needs to be shared.
Bradbury said the purpose of Wednesday's meeting would be to show some of the economic advantages of having designated bike trails.
"We will be talking with that committee about the economic benefits to developing bike routes in town," Bradbury said. "We hope to give them a good idea of the concept. It's not to talk about money and it's not to talk about nuts and bolts. We are going to present the idea and how it can help with economic development."
She said in November the group will meet with a budget and finance committee for the same purposes.
The ultimate plan would be to approach Portsmouth City Council from Capital Improvement Project funding.
The concept has a number of different paths that, according to Bradbury, plan to be phased in over a span of several years.
At the last meeting of the Shawnee Recreation Trail the concept received a name, Portsmouth Connex.
"In one of the early meetings I urged the group to put a name behind this concept," said Wendi Waugh, Media Committee chairwoman. "Last month (September) I though for sure I had it nailed (a name), with Wellness Way."
Waugh said after some discussion it was decided it should be called Portsmouth Connex.
"The purpose of this whole concept would be to encourage people to get moving," Waugh said.
The group holds meetings every month to discuss the concept with the next meeting scheduled for Nov. 7 at 5:30 p.m. at the Center For International Programs and Activities on the campus of Shawnee State University.

Last Resource Commit optimization for JDBC
There is one caveat with Last Resource Commit. There is a small chance that a transaction ends up with inconsistent results across participating resources if BTM crashes while a transaction is in-flight. The chance is small but it exists so be careful when using that feature. This is in no way a limitation of BTM but of the concept itself.
Please note that if you only intend to run transactions against a single database using Last Resource Commit this scenario is 100% safe, otherwise not.
In theory, only databases supporting XA and providing a
javax.sql.XADataSource implementation can be used with transaction managers. In practice, there is a way around this limitation.
The Last Resource Commit optimization (sometimes referred to as Last Resource Gambit or Last Agent optimization) allows a single non-XA database to participate in a XA transaction by cleverly ordering the resources.
There can be at most one datasource emulating XA with Last Resource Commit participating in a transaction. If it happens that you're trying to use a second emulating datasource while one has already been used, BTM will throw an exception. Again, this is not a limitation of BTM but of the concept itself.
To enable it, you just have to create a
PoolingDataSource using the bitronix.tm.resource.jdbc.lrc.LrcXADataSource as the
XADataSource implementation.
Here's an example of code configuring a HSQLDB datasource:
|Code Block
PoolingDataSource myDataSource = new PoolingDataSource(); myDataSource.setClassName("bitronix.tm.resource.jdbc.lrc.LrcXADataSource"); myDataSource.setUniqueName("hsqldb"); myDataSource.setMaxPoolSize(5); myDataSource.setAllowLocalTransactions(true); myDataSource.getDriverProperties().setProperty("driverClassName", "org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"); myDataSource.getDriverProperties().setProperty("url", "jdbc:hsqldb:/the/db/path"); myDataSource.getDriverProperties().setProperty("user", "sa"); myDataSource.getDriverProperties().setProperty("password", "theSaPassword");
and the same example viewed as a Resource Loader configuration
|Code Block
resource.ds.className=bitronix.tm.resource.jdbc.lrc.LrcXADataSource resource.ds.uniqueName=hsqldb resource.ds.maxPoolSize=5 resource.ds.allowLocalTransactions=true resource.ds.driverProperties.driverClassName=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver resource.ds.driverProperties.url=jdbc:hsqldb:/the/db/path resource.ds.driverProperties.user=sa resource.ds.driverProperties.password=theSaPassword
The LRC implementation relies on the
BTM 1.3.1 and higher are immune to this problem as these settings are enforced when

Thanks for setting up this board, hope its interesting to those reading it.
The Moonies "Unification Church" gained a lot of adverse publicity in the 70's and then seemed to drop off the map, well they never really dissappeared and last year rev Moon was recognised and crowned The Messiah in a US Senate Building of all places!!
For those that feel America doesn't have enough coronation ceremonies, you're gonna love this:
Rev Moon Crowned Messiah in US Senate Building
Here's a juicy quote:
The US Senate was used for a bizarre ritual in which the Rev Sun Myung Moon, the head of the Unification church, was "crowned" and declared himself the messiah in the presence of more than a dozen Republican and Democratic members of Congress, it was reported yesterday.
"Emperors, kings and presidents ... have declared to all heaven and Earth that Reverend Sun Myung Moon is none other than humanity's saviour, messiah, returning Lord and true parent," the 85-year-old Korean "Moonie" cult leader told several hundred guests at the meeting in one of the Senate's office buildings on March 23, according to the Washington Post.
And here is the very informative blog of the reporter who broke the above story, John Gorenfeld
A video and transcript of the above coronation ceremony is on John's site here

Perfect Menu Card
I have been using the classic allure design through out my wedding planning. When it came time to decide on a menu card it was a no brainer. This design is elegant and sleek. Looks great at the place setting and easy for each guest to hold and read.
I love how these cards turned out. I didn't use them for a menu I used them for an I Spy game to put on the tables at the reception paired with a disposable camera. They look great and also match my programs for the ceremony and the invitations I sent too. I got so many compliments on the invitations.

Interesting. I don't know how many of you know it but the Breakers USFL franchise played in New Orleans for one year after relocating from Boston before going to Orlando or Portland in the next season. I guess that was an example of a relocation name fitting in rather than looking out of place.Originally posted by Hawkeye
I will not feel like the Hornets are truly our team until we have a name that is more fitting and one which we have chosen ourselves. I know that there is some sentiment for the name "Jazz" but personally I feel that "Jazz" now carries too much baggage for me. While I'll never forget watching Pistol Pete perform his magic, the name simply refers to an era that I would rather put to bed and start anew with a fresh, new approach for the team. "Jazz" was then. This is now.
Since we are the epitome of a gulf coast area, and I know we would all like a fast moving, exciting brand of b-ball I would like to suggest the name of
"The New Orleans Breakers".
On another subject, I have read every post on the Charlotte Hornets board and the Charlotte Observer board since the talk of the move to NOLA began and I think there is one thing this board should avoid duplicating. Certain posters there developed an attitude that they controlled the board and seemed to think that their opinion ruled on every subject that came up. I hope that we all remain open minded on all subjects and give everyone the respect that they deserve. I was reading recently that in the wild, parrot flocks have no leader, every member of the flock is on an equal footing and is considered the equal of any other member of the flock. I like that attitude. Lets think like parrots.

Midwest Living Review
The Pro Football Hall of Fame is one of those places that die-hard football fans put on their bucket lists. For Midwesterners especially, just the idea of plugging "George Halas Drive" into the GPS is a thrill. And there are definitely some cool experiences to enjoy here. The Hall of Fame Gallery has bronze-sculpted busts of the men who have become legends in this game, and it's cool to see those and snap some pictures. The Lamar Hunt Super Bowl Gallery has touch screens allowing visitors to design a Super Bowl ring, which is fun for fans whose teams have not yet earned one. Seeing the Vince Lombardi Trophy, given to the winner of each Super Bowl, is fun, too. But since we've also been to Cooperstown, New York, site of the Baseball Hall of Fame, we can't help but compare the two experiences. Going to Cooperstown is a pilgrimage. You wind your way over rural country roads to land in an idyllic, one-stoplight town where America's pastime is enshrined. It's very much a journey. Going to Canton is about buzzing down the interstate, hopping off, and realizing you can see every part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in two hours and walk away feeling, "Is that it?" The exhibits are heavy on helmets, uniforms and TV footage; they show little memorabilia from the players and coaches, like ticket stubs, programs or handwritten letters. The HOF is planning a renovation to coincide with its 50th anniversary, and we hope that project will give the visitor experience a boost. The people who come for that once-in-a-lifetime visit deserve it. Admission charged.

Tomasi Cama kicked an injury-time penalty goal to secure New Zealand a 22-19 victory over England in the cup final while the Blitzboks claimed the plate prize at the George Sevens.
It was a thrilling finish to a highly-entertaining cup final. England and a six-man New Zealand side were deadlocked at 19-19 in the closing stages until the latter were awarded a penalty in a kickable position. Cama, who impressed with the boot throughout the tournament, stepped up and slotted the kick from the 22m line to claim the win.
England only have themselves to be blame as they were 14-5 up at half-time. Ben Gollings and James Rodwell crossed the chalk for the Dubai winners while Declan O'Donnell opened the scoring for New Zealand.
Then came the Kiwi comeback. DJ Forbes finished off a counter attack from New Zealand's red zone before setting up Tim Mickleson in the corner for a 19-14 lead. Former Bishops and UCT student Matt Turner then came on as a super sub to score a great inidividual try to level the scores. New Zealand were dealt a further blow as Bryce Heem was sent off for punching. However, four minutes after the final hooter, Cama's boot clinched victory and New Zealand's fifth tournament win in George.
The Springbok Sevens had to settle for the plate title as they beat Argentina 10-5 in the final after a poor run on day two.
The Blitzboks lacked direction on attack without their talisman Cecil Afrika, who had to withdraw from the final clash because of injury. They had several opportunities early in the first half but poor decision-making denied them the lead. After the fifth visit to Argentina's red zone, Bernado Botha eventually dived in at the corner as he gathered Branco du Preez's chip ahead for a 5-0 lead at the break.
Argentina levelled the scores as Diego Palma exposed the Blitzboks' defence out wide, but Franki Horn sealed the win for South Africa after finishing off a set piece move in the dying moments.
The win gave some joy for the home fans, who had to witness a poor day two for the Blitzboks in what should be the final sevens tournament hosted in George (Cape Town and PE are tipped to be the next hosts of the South African leg next season as George's contract rights expire next year). However, head coach Paul Treu and his team shouldn't celebrate this victory as it is just a consolation prize. All it confirms is fifth place. South Africa have a lot of work to do ahead of the next tournament, the Wellington Sevens in New Zealand, on 4 and 5 February if they want to improve.
Earlier in the day in the plate semi-final, Cecil Afrika scored a last-minute try to help the Springbok Sevens to a 24-21 win over Wales.
When Aaron Shingler crossed the chalk to put Wales 21-17 ahead with 30 seconds left in the match, it seemed that the Blitzboks would suffer their worst ever finish at a tournament on home soil. However, from the final kickoff, South Africa never gave up and an impressive team effort saw Afrika score in the corner to steal the win from the defending Sevens World Cup champions.
Afrika opened the scoring for the host team before Wales went ahead through a converted try. The Blitzboks had a 10-7 lead at break as Afrika grabbed a brace for the final move of the first half.
Wales were the better team in the second half as they had the upper hand at the tackle points and enjoyed most of the possession. This eventually saw Richard Pugh dive under the posts to put Wales ahead. The Blitzboks hit back through Kyle Brown but conceded a late try which almost cost them the game. However, Afrika completed his hat-trick and converted the final try for the win.
In their first match on day two, the Springbok Sevens were knocked out of the cup section after a 19-10 defeat against England.
The Blitzboks started the quarter-final clash well and led 10-5 at half-time, but a poor second half display saw them fail to score a point after the break as England rallied to victory through two late tries. Head coach Paul Treu will lament his player's poor defence towards the end of the match as slipped tackles cost them the game while they became static with ball in hand and failed to convert their scoring opportunities.
This wasn't the case in the first stanza as the Blitzboks delivered an impressive all-round performance. Cecil Afrika opened the scoring after sniping a gap out wide. England capitalised on South Africa's only mistake in the first half, failing to retain possession at the tackle point on halfway, to see John Brake run clear down the touchline to level the scores.
From the resulting restart, Afrika almost fumbled the ball deep in his red zone but gathered possession and broke into England's territory with 50m run. The Blitzboks spread play wide and Bernado Botha finished off a good piece of attacking play.
However, it was all England after the break. Speedster Dan Norton should've scored early but knocked on the ball with a clear path to the try line ahead of him. It didn't matter though as Isoa Damu dotted down and Brake completed his brace in the last two minutes of the match to seal victory.
Blitzboks' results:
Cup quarter-final – SA 10 England 19
Plate semi-final – SA 24 Wales 21
Plate final – SA 10 Argentina 5

Supply Disruptions, Asymmetric Information, and a Backup Production Option
2009, Management Science
Z. Yang, Goker Aydin, V. Babich, D. Beil
We study a manufacturer that faces a supplier privileged with private information about supply disruptions. We investigate how risk-management strategies of the manufacturer change and examine whether risk-management tools are more or less valuable in the presence of such asymmetric information. We model a supply chain with one manufacturer and one supplier, in which the supplier's reliability is either high or low and is the supplier's private information. On disruption, the supplier chooses to either pay a penalty to the manufacturer for the shortfall or use backup production to fill the manufacturer's order. Using mechanism design theory, we derive the optimal contract menu offered by the manufacturer. We find that information asymmetry may cause the less reliable supplier type to stop using backup production while the more reliable supplier type continues to use it. Additionally, the manufacturer may stop ordering from the less reliable supplier type altogether. The value of supplier backup production for the manufacturer is not necessarily larger under symmetric information; for the more reliable supplier type, it could be negative. The manufacturer is willing to pay the most for information when supplier backup production is moderately expensive. The value of information may increase as supplier types become uniformly more reliable. Thus, higher reliability need not be a substitute for better information.
Yang, Z., G. Aydin, V. Babich, and D. Beil (2009), "Supply Disruptions, Asymmetric Information, and a Backup Production Option," Management Science, Vol. 55, No. 2, February, pp. 192-209.

The most common bacterial illness in children accounting for millions of doctor visits each year is otitis media — a middle ear infection. Acute otitis media typically occurs during or after a cold, upper respiratory infection or bout with allergies when the Eustachian tube that connects the middle ear to the throat becomes swollen and traps fluid. The fluid can cultivate bacteria or viruses, causing an infection.
Is there any way to protect your child from this potentially painful illness? How do you know if treatment is needed? We spoke with Swedish Otolaryngologist Linnea Peterson, M.D. who helped us separate fact from fiction regarding middle ear infections.
There is no way to avoid repeated ear infections; they're just a part of childhood.
- "Though it's true that otitis media is one of the most common childhood ailments, parents can take steps to reduce their child's risk," says Dr. Peterson. "Consider....

Ah, the USB stick -- one of the IT admin's best friends. It travels with you and helps you rescue machines, work magic, and make end users sigh with relief. Some of these apps you copy to the hard drive and install; others can be run from the stick itself. A few of them are full-blown operating systems that can help you completely recover a corrupted or infected platform.
Whatever the style and purpose, there are plenty of portable apps for the USB stick that can be hard to live without. Here are five tools I deem must-haves.
Note: If you'd prefer to view this information as a blog post, check out this entry in our Five Apps blog.

Jack Wallen is an award-winning writer for TechRepublic and Linux.com. He's an avid promoter of open source and the voice of The Android Expert. For more news about Jack Wallen, visit his website getjackd.net.
Slideshows that refresh the whole page are worthless and lazy.
For being "a writer" for over 12 years....Jack Wallen doesn't WRITE MUCH. This article is ALMOST useless.
Just a general comment on those thumbnails. It's a pretty annoying concept. It's slow and the whole thing jumps around. Maybe it's just me but I'm visiting this site less frequently because it just not a pleasant browsing experience.
When it comes to "Stuff" that you can keep on your thumb drives, It really depends on your need. I have one that is my emergency boot USB and it has Hirens boot CD and a few other recovery tools on it. I have another which is my "Roaming Workstation" that I have encrypted with "Truecrypt" and it has all my portable applications (from Portableapps.com and pendriveapps.com Third I have another encrypted drive with nothing but installs, patches and plugins for those time when internet is slow as molasses in winter. Forth, And empty thumb drive for transferring files back and forth.
Your recommendations now get deleted as a matter of course. At the moment it's not worth the effort. Try being less clever with the technology and make it customer friendly. As for on a smart phone - do you guys actually know how to format for them?
I thought this web site was designed to make things easier for us idiot users and not for advanced degree IT professionals? My son in law has 2 advanced computer degrees and even he had a hard time finding the downloadable apps. Come on guys you can do better , can't you?
I am so glad to see others also have issues with this format. I am just unable to understand how to use the picture-arrow-next or what ever it is. How about sharing the info in a fasion we can actually use?
For when you need to edit files (including configuration files). My point here is that you need a tool that allows you to edit text-type files.
i'm about over techrepub...their layout sucks..i am not about to drill down to search for their headline...this is about the worst layout i have seen in a long time...the amount of work to find stuff is just ridiculous...i'll be unsubscribing shortly...
This is just a repost of a blog. I don't get what's so hard to understand about it? It works fine for me and I'm on an iPad.
URL's to download sites would save some time for those apps we decide to try.
This isn't helping much. Where are the download links to download the software?
great PC list, would like to see the same for a mac, although I can almost guess what that would be...
'nuf said.
When it comes to portable FTP programs I normally use the FireFTP plugin installed in Portable Firefox.
So we can't write a store we only get to see pics of an app...lazy, lame and does not work.
Text text text
Why can't manufacturers make USB keys with a write-protect switch again? This has been the most valuable option on the old 64MB key I have - a virus can't write to it if it is protected, so it makes for the best carry-all for scanners etc. If I could request one feature to make a comeback.......
I'm about ready to kill my subscription - every article requires my clicking through thumbnails, whose only reason for existing are to expose me to more advertising. You're wasting my time, forcing me to view a gazillion pages for miniscule content of often meagre value. Two thumbs down for thumbnail tedium.
Imoseley may be correct about some folk , but I think most of us are adult enough to know why the slideshow format has been chosen. I for one find it infuriating as I have no real desire to see a screenshot of a program until after I have read a review and found it of interest. This just takes away from my experience and leads me to use this part of techrepublic less ;??(
What you guys who are complaining about the absurd slideshow information delivery system here fail to understand is the base intent and goal of TechRepublic. You act like their goal is to provide users with information. WRONG! WRONG! Their intent is to have users read ads. When they take information and chop it up into little pieces and show each piece with ads, THEIR goal is achieved. And, so long as the info is good and the slideshow not TOO obnoxious, their goal is reached.
I have to agree. Many of the daily rags: eWeek, TechRepublic, and many others are using these ridiculous slide shows and it makes it very hard to consume a bunch of information in the morning hour you have to catch up on the latest. Just blog. .. or if you must to the slide shows, give us the option to read it on a single page. http://www.sysresccd.org/SystemRescueCd_Homepage SystemRescueCD SystemRescueCD is the Linux distribution to have if you're going to carry one around on a USB stick. With this distribution, you can recover partitions, recover data, image a disk, test a hard disk, edit configuration files, burn a disk, check for rootkits, run an antivirus scan, securely wipe a hard drive, and much more. http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable Portable Firefox Sometimes, a Web browser is a necessity for solving a problem. But when the browser on the desktop won't run, what do you do? You break out Portable Firefox. This version of Firefox has all the great features you're used to. In fact, some will be hard-pressed to figure out that Firefox is running from a USB stick. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/combofix/ ComboFix ComboFix makes almost every recovery tool list for me. No admin kit is complete without this powerhouse. It is my go-to tool when I encounter some of the nastier viruses and rootkits. Almost without fail, if an antivirus can't catch it, ComboFix can. Unlike common antivirus and anti-malware applications, ComboFix will display (upon completion of running) a detailed report of exactly what it took action on. Note: To run ComboFix, you'll need to copy the .exe over to the computer and install it. http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/filezilla_portable FileZilla Portable FileZilla Portable is the one and only FTP client to carry around with you. Why would you need an FTP client? There will be times when you must load a file from a troubled computer to another machine. The easiest way to do this (when all other methods fail) is by using a portable FTP client. An FTP client is especially crucial when a file is too large to fit on a USB drive or if the file must be loaded to a remote machine you do not have physical access to. This application is run directly from the USB drive and isn't installed on the PC. http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/explorerplusplus_portable Explorer++ Portable Explorer++ Portable is a file manager with all the usual features you've grown to expect from a file manager. But why should you carry a file manager with you? Have you ever had to repair a machine where Explorer won't run? Makes for a major challenge. Having a portable file manager gets around that issue with ease. Explorer++ Portable offers features like tabs, keyboard shortcuts, a customizable UI, drag-and-drop support, and file merging and splitting.
an infuriating, waste of time way to show it. Thanks for sharing the good info, but please get a clue about the best way to share it.
This is not an article - it is an example of bad UI. Page needs to reload for each item.
I gave up after the first one
The portable apps suite has all the tools you could want including utilities, office suite, keepass -- it is awesome!
The second the comment by kjohnson....you folks need to add the five applications as a list instead of screen shots...since it would be a lot easier to read.
Read the blog post version instead, link is in the post above, but I've repeated it below: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/five-apps/five-must-have-apps-for-your-usb-stick/1442?tag=content;siu-container
While I agree with the general consensus that these articles do NOT belong in the slideshow format, but in a short format, listing only the titles of whatever is being enumerated, and in the longer format which should be a PDF which would download when one clicks it. On the other hand, articles such as Crackin-Open's by Bill Detwiler should be in this slideshow format, where we see a medium-size image on screen, but can call up a bigger sized image which should further be zoomable by at least one or two sizes. The same goes for when a reporter presents a series of pictures of an event such as the LegoWorlds and Vegas IT shows. There, zoomable pictures are a must.
its like i am tripppppping it takes soooo long to get there. reminds me of captan krik
I really dislike the way these articles are displayed, that forces you have to click through, takes too long to take in the article's information !! Like I/T professionals have TIME to click through these cumbersome slide shows!!!???
Can someone please shoot the webdesigner who builds this crap
Best Mac app?
I thought I was the only one that didn't like the slide show format.
I don't know what fool came up with the slideshow format, but it stinks. and from what I see with the other comments, most people who bother posting fill the same way. go back to the white paper format.
I agree with other comments that have been made. I wanted the "list".....in a list. Then links to further explanations would have been nice.
Your asking if we would rather read your article as a blog post is silly. Rotating screen shots my save space for more ads, but it isn't what we want. It is a reminder that we are not your customers. If your customers would hand you the same amount of money if we never visited your page, you would not print this site at all. That fact illuminates the value of your information.
It seems the author likes puzzles. This is about the worst presentation I ever saw. What is needed is a structured explanation. How many USB drives of which size do I need? Which programs are usable once I need to boot from the USB drive, and so on.
This site comes under the heading "lights on but nobody home". There is nothing clear or concise about this site, very confusing.
Combofix expires. You have to download a new version on a regular basis. It seems like they update it daily.
Seriously! Guys just get the newest Hiren's Boot CD. I think it's still v15.1. That is what I use. You can put it on an 8 gig USB stick and boot from it or run it's menu in an OS. Hiren's BootCD 15.1 - www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd It is what a real IT engineer relies on.
I agree, this site is confusing and difficult. The links seem to be hidden. Why? tom
Your articles are getting worse by the week. Getting the information that you offer is like pulling teeth, if you can't do better than this I suggest you just close the site down and give the license back to the pool.
I am interested in the 5 Indespensible Apps but there doe snot appear to be any efficient way to see the listing of them on this web page. Whoever designed this web site needs to fix it to make it user friendly.
If you continue to present your information in a confusing interface instead of a simple and easy to read list/article, I am going to unsubscribe. There is so much going on with your webpages I can hardly navigate around.
Where is the link to the file? I find this is often missing. BUMMER!
Pretty sure they do it this way to generate more page ad views... I'm not looking at the thumbnail views anymore, period.
While I know it was a slip on your part, I agree with you that he was more often than not a "krik".
If you mean the white paper format in PDF, I wholly agree. It should not be the job of the reader to make pdf's of these otherwise useful articles.

G.Denton - 16 Jan 12
Hi just wanted to say, I have no idea why you guys have such bad reviews. I received my products within 3 days and the Macbook Pro was a 2 week wait but I expected that nothing would ship until after the huge sale! Awesome prices on everything. Couldn't have been happier.
Thanks again to everyone I was in contact with along the way!
Geoffrey S - 29 Jun 12
Hello, Just to let you know that my computer monitor arrived yesterday. I am very pleased with it and I compliment your company's fast delivery time and professional service. I may purchase another monitor in the future for a spare as I desire a monitor with inbult speakers and most of the monitors available these days don't appear to have this feature. As for the BenQ monitor, I would recommend it highly for future purchasers.
Lachlan.B - 01 May 13
Hi, I ordered my GS105AU switch from you guys over the phone. I just want to say how good the service was and how nice the customer service Representative was to me, even though i did not have the correct information I had at the time. So yeah, awesome service thank you Jack G! Sincerely, a returning Megabuy customer
Peter M - 02 May 13
Hi, I just received my order and I am mightily impressed. The whole process from the minute I clicked onto your website for the first time yesterday right through to receipt of my item today was brilliant. I was especially impressed with your order confirmation process to ensure that my order placed using a gmail email address was in fact placed by me. I still cannot believe that I received delivery of my item in about 24hrs, though I dont know if I can hold you to that if I have to place another order :-) I will definitely recommend Megabuy to others and will use your services again in the future should the need arise. Again thank you so much for a brilliant purchase experience.
U. Grebe - 22 May 13
Just letting you know was very impressed with service received. Was delivered in under 24 hrs well done. Thanks
A. Karanwal - 31 May 13
Hi, Received it this arvo! Appreciate the super-quick delivery!!
Shopped with you for the first time, inspite of the negative reviews on OzBargain, but I have no complains. Have passed on the good word and posted a link on my FB page too!
A.Walsh - 03 Jun 13
Late last Friday morning I ordered some software from you guys. I am in Canberra. At 11.45 this morning - Monday - it was delivered!
Let me sum up:
1. Best price I could find on what I was buying.
2. Only marginally less quick than if I had taken the trouble to go to a specialist store to buy it personally, and DEFINITELY faster than if I had bought from the developer on line.
3. A bonus of a local delveryman who, from experience, knew the vagaries of accessing where I live and made it simple (OK - you guys couldn't have organised that, but it was a nice and welcome extra)!
Simply put - this is my first Megabuy purchase. It is unlikely to be my last!
Many thanks.
Lorraine H - 12 Aug 13
Thank you very much for your extremely efficient system. We received out order in record time. As we live in WA we are use to our orders taking a day or two longer than is written on websites but we couldnt fault your delivery time. It was super fast.
We have ordered another product from another site who told us it would take 2-3 days and we actually ordered this before ordering from Mega Buy. We are still waiting! It is now 7 days and counting. We will be back to Mega Buy and will recommend your site without hesitation to others. Thank you.
Dave - 29 Aug 13
Just wanted to give you the thumbs up for the product I recently bought. I bought a graphics card and it was delivered under 2 working days later! Pricing was competitive and service great! Will definitely be using MegaBuy again!
Peter Wishart - 05 Sep 13
"Wow" Great Service I received my order this morning.
I will look forward to my next megabuy purchase.
George Oltvolgyi - 06 May 14
Thank you very much for your prompt, courteous and professional service.
My Xtremkey turned up yesterday safely packaged and well within the anticipated timeframe.
Will definitely come back.
Yun R - 03 Jul 14
I was impressed with the smooth process of buying and delivery. It was quick and customer service was fairly quick and prompt and polite.
Ray - 12 Sep 14
I have just bought a couple of D-Link DIR412 3G Routers and was very pleased with the service and delivery. When ordering a charge was made for delivery which was an error and I was refunded this amount in a few days. I would certainly order from MegaBuy again. I was kept informed by email at all times with the progress of my order and refund.
Mark - 13 Jan 15
Extremely happy with my latest purchase, fast turnaround and delivery by the MegaBuy team. Cudos!
Les - 20 Jan 15
Very happy, website stock levels were accurate and product was well priced and delivered promptly. Will use MegaBuy to purchase HP accessories anytime.
Samuel L - 20 Jan 15
I just wanted to write a quick email to let you know how impressed I was with the customer service provided to me by your sales rep.
He patiently answered every question I had, provided me with all the information I needed, kept me updated throughout every stage of processing my order and was very easy to talk to, so much so that we were joking around towards the end of our phone conversation.
He completely removed the stress involved with investing all my savings into a new Macbook Pro and I just wanted to officially thank him for it.
Belen - 24 Jan 15
Thank you so much for the support, I've received the item. Thank you so much, you and your company have shown efficiency and care about your customers.

Washington, District of Columbia
Washington, D.C. formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States, founded on July 16, 1790. The City of Washington was originally a separate municipality within the Territory of Columbia until an act of Congress in 1871 effectively merged the City and the Territory into a single entity called the District of Columbia. It is for this reason that the city, while legally named the District of Columbia, is known as Washington, D.C.

Peter de Villiers has quit after coaching the Springboks to a World Cup quarter-final defeat in Wellington.
De Villiers' contract has expired and after a four year tenure marked by controversy and criticism, he will opt not to put forward his name as a candidate for the now vacant post.
'Its been a brilliant journey and one that none of you [the media] can take away from me,' he said. 'There's a time to come and a time to go. The journey is over.
'I enjoyed it. I was in a privileged position to be able to contribute to my country. South African rugby is in a good state and will move forward after this.'
Asked how he wanted to be remembered, De Villiers said: 'As the best me I could be.'
De Villiers ends his career with a 63% success rate, winning 30 of his 48 Tests. However, measured against the best in the world he has struggled. With the defeat in Wellington this evening his record against Australia dipped to four wins from 12, while he has won just five from 11 against the All Blacks.
De Villiers enjoyed the bulk of his success in 2009, winning a series against the British & Irish Lions, as well as the Tri-Nations. However, outside of that the Springboks have struggled, this with arguably the finest generation of players in decades at his disposal.
His loyalty to captain John Smit, despite the rise of the incomparable Bismarck du Plessis, has elicited severe criticism. He sought out Smit in 2008 while the Test veteran was contracted to French outfit Clermont, offering him the captaincy, then persisting with him despite Smit touching the ceiling of his potential in 2009.
Smit was liberal in his praise of De Villiers. 'We've had a good four years. He isn't a coach in the usual mould but one we've thoroughly enjoyed,' Smit said. 'He has given us leeway and space and tightened the reigns when he needed to. He is a great man and coach.'
De Villiers was appointed ahead of superior candidates, most notably Heyneke Meyer, in 2008, South African Rugby Union president Oregan Hoskins citing 'reasons other than rugby credentials' as the reason for the decision.
There isn't a clear favourite for the post. Meyer has signed a long-term deal with the Bulls as their director of rugby and has indicated repeatedly to this website that he isn't considering applying for the job. The Stormers duo of Rassie Erasmus and Allistair Coetzee are expected to toss their names into the hat, while others like Lions coach John Mitchell and former Saracens head Brendan Venter have been mentioned as possible candidates.
By Ryan Vrede, in Wellington.

On 29/05/2015, you requested the version in force on 29/05/2015 incorporating all amendments published on or before 29/05/2015. The closest version currently available is that of 01/01/2015.
—(1) Where, in any year of assessment, full effect cannot, by reason of an insufficiency of gains or profits chargeable for that year of assessment, be given to any allowance falling to be made under section 16, 17, 18A (repealed), 18B, 18C, 19, 19A, 19B, 19C, 19D or 20, then, so long as the person entitled thereto continues to carry on the trade, profession or business in respect of the gains or profits of which the allowance falls to be made, the balance of the allowance shall, subject to subsection (3), be added to, and be deemed to form part of, the corresponding allowance, if any, for the next succeeding year of assessment, and, if no such corresponding allowance falls to be made for that year, shall be deemed to constitute the corresponding allowance for that year, and so on for subsequent years of assessment.
[28/80; 26/93; 37/2002; 21/2003; 29/2010]
(2) Where any person entitled to the allowances under sections 16, 17, 18B and 18C in respect of a building or structure derives income from the letting of that building or structure, subsection (1) shall, in relation to the allowances under those sections, apply to him so long as he continues to derive such income, whether or not he is carrying on a business in respect of the letting of the building or structure.
[13/84; 29/2010]
(3) Where any allowance for any year of assessment falling to be made to any person under section 16, 17, 18A (repealed), 18B, 18C, 19, 19A, 19B, 19C, 19D or 20 is deducted against income of the person from other sources under section 35(1), transferred to a claimant company under section 37C or to a spouse under section 37D or 37F, or deducted against income for the immediate preceding year of assessment under section 37E(1) or any of the 3 immediate preceding years of assessment under section 37E(1A), as the case may be, the amount of such allowance shall be deducted from the balance in subsection (1).
[21/2003; 49/2004; 34/2005; 27/2009; 29/2010]
(4) No balance shall be added to and be deemed to form part of the corresponding allowance, if any, to be given to a company under subsection (1) unless the Comptroller is satisfied that the shareholders of the company on the last day of the year in which the allowances arose were substantially the same as the shareholders of the company on the first day of the year of assessment in which such allowances would otherwise be available under this section and such a balance shall not be allowed in any subsequent year of assessment.
(5) The Minister or such person as he may appoint may, where there is a substantial change in the shareholders of a company and he is satisfied that such change is not for the purpose of deriving any tax benefit or obtaining any tax advantage, exempt that company from the provisions of subsection (4).
[3/89; 11/94]
(6) Upon such exemption, the balance of the allowances referred to in subsection (1) may be added to and be deemed to form part of the corresponding allowance to be given to that company under that subsection but only for deduction against the gains or profits derived from the same trade or business in respect of which the allowances would have been made.
[3/89; 11/94]
(7) For the purpose of subsection (4) —
the shareholders of a company at any date shall not be deemed to be substantially the same as the shareholders at any other date unless, on both those dates, not less than 50% of the total number of issued shares of the company are held by or on behalf of the same persons;
shares in a company held by or on behalf of another company shall be deemed to be held by the shareholders of the last-mentioned company; and
shares held by or on behalf of the trustee of the estate of a deceased shareholder or by or on behalf of the person entitled to those shares as beneficiaries under the will or any intestacy of a deceased shareholder shall be deemed to be held by that deceased shareholder.
[26/73; 34/2005]
(8) For the purpose of subsection (7), where any part of a share of a shareholder is not fully paid up, there shall be disregarded a proportion equal to
where A
is the amount that has not been paid in respect of the share; and
is the total amount payable in respect of the share.

Could one say with certainly: "Everything in the universe/multiverse that can be rationally defined has already been rationally defined. There is nothing else." ?
Nope. But one certainly could say that something that is defined irrationally is irrationally defined.
Perhaps I could pursue the issue and seek out arguments that aim to define god rationally, and others that aim to prove that it's impossible to define god rationally. I would also have to sharpen my intellectual tools to evaluate the arguments and satisfy myself that I know enough about the issue to say "I know".
"Supernatural" is an easy place to start. "Outside of nature" is an irrational concept.
Going by the etymology it's pretty simple. An atheist is simply "without god", whatever the reason. In common usage, to describe oneself as an atheist tends to be a strong statement - hence my use of the word "emphatic".
There's no connection between "emphatic" and "without". There's plenty of socialization baggage that suggests there is in this particular case, but "without" is pretty simple and straightforward and requires no caveats or modifications. So "emphatically without" doesn't follow. It works, of course (you can certainly be emphatically without and still be without), but it's about as pertinent as, say, gender or nationality. It's an arbitrary add-on. "Without" is sufficient, and since we're talking about the definition of a term, adding impertinent baggage is counterproductive. Definitions are minimum attribute descriptions. That's why when there are pertinent but not necessary conditions for different usages of a word, we have different usages and different definitions. Each is a minimum attribute description for a given use of a given term.
