Dad on Defense: Staving Off the NorovirusBrian Gresko
Last week saw the tot throwing up again, the side-effect of which was that he acted all sweet between barfs. "I hope you don't get sick too, Da-da," he said to me after I washed out his puke-bowl. "'Cause usually when I get sick, you get sick too, and being sick's no fun."
I hear ya' kid.
Like most adults, I was a pretty healthy guy until I started interacting with children on a regular basis. First, I made the mistake of becoming a teacher a mistake as far as my immune system's concerned. Those were some of the sickest years of my life. You would think that the body would toughen up after a year or two of succumbing to every germ that passed through the school, but alas, I'd catch a cold in November and be steadily ill till April.
Since becoming a parent, Felix pretty much got it right: almost everything he catches passes to me, and vice versa. It's like we share the same system, which I guess we probably do. That's bad news for the tot's sinuses, as mine seem the perfect incubators for infection, and it's even worse news for my stomach, which up until two years ago had been pretty hardy. Now, my son brings home a bug from a play date, and I end up camped out (and cramped up) in the bathroom with a major case of the nasties.
My new fear is this Norovirus the Sydney strain which reports say is sweeping the globe. I see its progress in my Facebook feed, and just yesterday got word a good friend was laid low. People can spread the Norovirus — a stomach flu — before they're even aware they're sick, and the virus lingers on surfaces longer than most germs. It's a viral super-villain Undetectable! Unstoppable! Untreatable! Seriously, though, in little ones, a stomach illness of this severity could lead to dehydration, while it would lay parents flat for a few days, at least.
What can be done? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, your first defense is washing your hands well. Longer than feels normal: for thirty seconds at least, scrubbing under hot water. Sing the ABC's to help time yourself. Do this often during the day, but especially after using the bathroom and before preparing food. And of course, have your kid do it too.
If someone in your house does fall ill, clean the bathroom well, as well as any surfaces that person comes into contact with. This includes sheets and clothes, which you may want to keep separate from the rest of the family's. Otherwise, all you can do is hope. And remember: whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. An adage that, honestly, provides me little comfort when I'm vomiting my guts out.

0. phoneArena 12 Feb 2014, 08:58 posted on
Now that 2014 is here, it looks like it's time to start thinking about the next-gen smartphones this year is bound to bring us. Well, if there's anything we feel certain about, that's the fact that Samsung is to release its new flagship Android smartphone, the Galaxy S5, in just a few months...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

I dont need 2K display but its going to be awesome. Samsung have to change UX and need to change plastic design... I hope they improve their battery tech we need it :D
7. akki20892 (Posts: 3901; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
But I want 4k damn it.

33. jos_031 (Posts: 60; Member since: 12 Jun 2012)
I need 1200ppi .. that is the ppi where average people will stop dofferentiation between an object and display. but i need 48bit pannel and a full visual spectrum gammut. 178 degree viewing angle with no glow effect and perffect gamma and colour reproduction, 6500k temp. 5000:1 native contrast. with absolite black level.

Kindly wait for 10 or more years before getting your hands on a smartphone like that. And better start savin money now. :)

Probably in 2015. Note 5.
22. androiphone20 (Posts: 1654; Member since: 10 Jul 2013)
I thought I saw a guy carrying a box with
next-year's Samsung top-of-the-line
smartphone. I mean, the box had
"Samsung" all over it.
Turns out he was holding a Samsung 22"
I knew it was going to have a bigger
screen, but this would be really, really
hard to fit in a pocket.

I just want Samsung change crappy TouchWiz.

A 2K display is actually a 1080p display. This "rumoured" display is 1440p or 2.667K.
The "K standard" was created by manufacturers of 2160p ("4K") displays, as a way of communicating to consumers the idea that it was 4 times as good as 1080p, by using the horizontal resolution instead of the vertical resolution. A 4K display has 3840 pixels horizontally (almost 4K!). Of course, it *is* 4 times as good; as it has twice the resolution in both directions.
I agree with your statement that a 1440p display is unnecessary at this point. With devices of this size it's difficult to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p. It would be great for all high end devices to simply adopt the 1080p standard from now on. However if a 1440p display on a phone would start encouraging manufacturers of TV and laptop displays to start making some higher resolution tech then I'm all for it. 1366x768 seems to be sticking around though, as much as I hate it.

The Galaxy S 4 already has a 2K display and so does the Note 3. But you probably didn't know that?
1920x1080 is consider a 2K display, while 2560x1440 is considered 2K HD.

I think sammy is somewhat good in Battery Tech.
2. Jason2k13 (Posts: 1214; Member since: 28 Mar 2013)
1080p screen is good enough for me, i'm just waiting for the new metal design and camera mostly, and of course a bigger battery.

"The Galaxy S4's 8 MP camera is still among the very best around"
You meant S3's ? S4 have 13 MP camera :o
6. Ray.S (Posts: 329; Member since: 19 Jul 2011)
Sorry, we meant the GS4's 13 MP camera!
16. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
Samsung S4 "Active" comes with 8 MP shooter.
55. osanilevich (Posts: 284; Member since: 29 Sep 2009)
My s3's camera still gets the job done anyway. Really hope the S5 will be as durable as my s3

what about waterproof?
32. ihavenoname (Posts: 1693; Member since: 18 Aug 2013)
S5 Active? Man, I hope the S5 Zoom won't come.

Buy a SONY Z1/Z1s. I still enjoy my water proof phone
5. pyradark (Posts: 852; Member since: 10 Jun 2012)
2K is way to early!! I didnt enjoy watching 1080p on my Z ultra now after I watched 4K Elysium Trailer on it!! can we produced first more 4K content before this 2K stuff to happen, even apps and games still on the 1080p side or worst 720p still!!!
74. HansP (Posts: 22; Member since: 16 Oct 2011)
Technically, apps are screen size sensitive since Android 3, not resolution sensitive. At least, if the dev spent a few minutes using the proper API's. :)
8. YodhaMali (Posts: 49; Member since: 05 Jan 2013)
Samsung is going to put up that $hitty Exynos 5 Octa processor in the Asian market version of S5/Note 4, thus denying 4K video recording and LTE.
13. jan25 (Posts: 470; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
Probably what bugs me the most about the Samsung devices, along with Touchwiz.
9. davenycept (Posts: 200; Member since: 03 Jul 2012)
Don't rush out a product in haste
10. TediT (Posts: 41; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
I just want it to be metal not plastic and with a bigger battery and its fine for me me.
11. twens (Posts: 978; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
How can Sammy fail with the s5? Even if it comes with just a few upgraded internals to match or outshine the note 3 it will be a good phone. The note 3 is sitting up there all high and mighty without anyone coming close to it. So yes the gs5 will definitely be mind blowing.
One thing I hate about Android manufacturers is the screen resolution pump. With all this resolution for a phone to push no matter how much hardware power is under the hood the speed will not be faster than previous models. That is why the iPhone always feels faster than android phones. I believe the resolutions are just too high and take a lot of processing power(gpu). All iPhone games run below 720 p thus making the games way smoother.
it's not just about optimization anymore. Android phones are doing too much work which is not necessary. Leave the screen at 1080p so we can feel the speed in the new hardware.

just test not experience, iphone 5 scored just half of gs4 but game and everything is same, and however ios is smoother

Bring it on Sammy.
15. JerryTime (Posts: 468; Member since: 09 Nov 2013)
Not a fan of Samsung by any means, but the possibility of a metal device with a 64 bit processor and the 4GB of RAM to actually support it is pretty breathtaking. I just hope they do something about the battery life. If they did I would strongly consider leaving my Motorola and HTC devices behind and switch over to the Samsung Bandwagon.
17. jellmoo (Posts: 1586; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
Honestly, I wish Samsung would move a little bit away from the pure spec race and concentrate on making day to day use better. Their features tend to be on the highly gimmicky side, and the sort of thing that gets used a handful of times and then forgotten about.
I'd much prefer that they work on the core user experience, and bring Touchwiz up to date in regards to aesthetics and overall functionality. It is falling way behind of other OEM skins as well as the competition.
The metal body sounds nice, but isn't quite needed. I think they just have to work at making their plastic approach more attractive. Take a look at Nokia devices, plastic but beautiful. I think Samsung just needs to be not afraid of adding a smidge of thickness to their devices.
18. GeekMovement (Posts: 2156; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
Wow interesting spec rumors. Samsung is always pushing the bar higher with numbers and specs which is nice, but hopefully battery life gets the ultimate push in the future.
20. JMartin22 (Posts: 1969; Member since: 30 Apr 2013)
1440p = automatic PenTile. Which means we'll have those green tints on the screen.
27. tech2 (Posts: 3451; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
Galaxy S4 was pentile too. But it could produces even higher colour accuracy than LCDs.
They've overcome that problem ever since Galaxy Note 2.
21. taikucing (unregistered)
Better CPU, camera, RAM, bla bla bla.... but the battery is still 10 hours life.
29. aybabtu (Posts: 2; Member since: 27 Oct 2013)
What I really would like to see from company that makes household appliances is integrated induction cooker in the next model.
34. hurrycanger (Posts: 1562; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
no more amoled? That would suck. The amoled display is so much better for the battery/
Not sure how much it can save on a smaller screen like the S5, but it helps saving a whole lot of juice on the Note 3. My sister gets 8 hours or more of screen on time after a full day use (on a single charge, of course). Having an LCD on the same size display would pull that down to about 6 hours...
36. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
One thing that needs to seriously be updated is the look of Touchwiz.
37. kassi (Posts: 109; Member since: 25 May 2013)
this. how comes a multi million dollar company produces an uglier launcher than some hobby developers?
38. 4.1.2 (Posts: 11; Member since: 30 Oct 2013)
S5 64 bit processor? How original... We haven't seen this technology before... It's going have metal body how innovative...
40. Zack20 (Posts: 41; Member since: 10 Dec 2013)
What "innovation" do you want?
a hand to come out of the screen and slap you if you look away while playing a video?
or the video to pause everytime you blink?
or a 128 bit processor?
or a wooden body? or maybe a body made out of wax?
a 1 TB internal storage?
a 10,000 mAh battery?
ppi of over 1,000?
or a sensor which detects your stink and unlocks the phone?
PLEASE tell me what innovation you'd like in your next smartphone

64-bit processing, with Google making no foreseeable plans to make Android OS 64-bit? Sounds like Samsung is just throwing numbers around for marketing purposes. The screen and 4 GB of RAM is nice though. If TouchWiz is on it (which it almost certainly is), I want nothing to do with it. Samsung's UI is marred by useless gimmicky features, cartoonish looks, and lag and serious battery drain within 3-6 months of use (The Note 3 is the exception because of a huge battery and 3 GB of RAM). I'd likely only be interested in this if there was a GPe version. Stock KitKat would be amazing on a device like this.
56. Mian.Shahzad (Posts: 23; Member since: 08 Dec 2013)
I love innovation, if they come up with something new.. i'll surely buy that phone and if apple comes up with different innovation i'll buy ot too :) why we fight with each other for just phones ? you buy what you like and other buys what he/she like so get your hands on your loving tech and move onn and dont look around and dont show arround :P

I'm a nokia fan but anyway I'm sure thie new samsung s5 is an excellent phone and that is good as the consumer will benefit from .the competition WELL DONE SAMSUNG WE NEED YOUR LIKES IN THE SMARTPHONE WORLD BRING IT ON
63. mohsinsaifi (Posts: 2; Member since: 18 Jan 2014)
nice phone launched by Samsung....
visit my site..
68. ncallan (Posts: 36; Member since: 15 Mar 2013)
I seem to be one of the few who want samsung to continue using plastic in their phones. To keep the back removable whilst being resistant to the bending forces when removing it and keeping the weight down it has to be plastic. I love the pleather on the back of my note 3 so would have no problem if they went with that aesthetic on the gs5. What I would say is stop using that chrome finished plastic bezel. It is so cheap it's unreal. You can mark it so easy and the finish rubs off in your pocket. Maybe use a beautiful metal like magnesium or titanium. Giving the amount required it surely wouldn't increase production costs by any meaningful amount.
70. greathero1 (Posts: 563; Member since: 13 Jun 2008)
Everything that I've seen definitely has me intrigued and interested in the S5. The design aspect was the only reason I chose the HTC One over the S5 so if they can deliver in that area, Im sold!

MITCH PILEGGI WALKS DOWN THE streets of Vancouver, B.C., where his hit TV show, The X-Files, is filmed. A baseball cap and dark glasses shield him from recognition but do nothing to dispel the sense that this is a man with bad intentions. "I have that kind of malevolent look about me, I guess," he says in his steely baritone.
For much of his career, Pileggi, 44, has played psychopaths like Horace Pinker, a convict who returns from the dead in Wes Craven's 1989 Shocker. For the last three years, however, instead of breaking heads he's been turning them as Skinner, an FBI assistant director on The X-Files. The uptight Skinner is both the nemesis and savior of his subordinates, agents Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson), as they pursue the paranormal through the maple leaves. "Though he plays a stern disciplinarian," says the show's executive producer, Chris Carter, "Mitch has a certain gentleness viewers really took to."
Gentleness isn't the only thing they took to. "A lot of women want to kiss my head," he says, doffing his cap. Ironically, Pileggi's baldness nearly kept him from getting the role. "He looked a little extreme," says Carter, recalling the actor's first two auditions. By his third try, Pileggi had stopped shaving his head and grown out what hair he does have. "I went in with this surly attitude," he says. "Maybe they were just trying to piss me off so I'd be that way."
Those who should know say this crossness is pure acting. "Mitch is a tough, honest, standup guy," says Anderson, "but he can get really goofy." Adds Duchovny: "He's been known to suddenly break into show tunes."
Clowning around is how Pileggi found his love for performing. The fifth of six children of Vito Pileggi, an operations manager for a defense contractor, and Maxine, a homemaker, he remembers that as a fourth grader in San Antonio, "during recess on rainy days I'd sing Elvis songs for everybody." Soon afterward his father's company got a new contract and the family moved to Ankara, Turkey. One day in chorus at his American high school there, he wowed his teacher with "Maria" from West Side Story and was soon playing the lead in school musicals. After graduation, he drifted away from the stage and wound up getting a business degree from the University of Texas. Later, he got a job in Iran as a housing accounting specialist for another defense contractor, moving there with Debbie Andrews, an Army brat he'd met while studying in California. They married in 1978 but moved back to the U.S. during the Iranian revolution and settled in Austin, where Pileggi began acting again, doing community theater and small parts on TV. After a 1983 divorce, Pileggi took his act to Hollywood, playing villains in such ersatz epics as Death Wish 4.
Even though he's got a steady gig now, Pileggi still hasn't settled down. He isn't in a relationship, he says, and he splits his time between a one-bedroom apartment in Valencia, Calif., and a hotel room in Vancouver. "But," he says, "at least now I get to be somebody who's not a maniac and can hold a normal conversation."

Poliomyelitis, fortunately, has thus far been a disease of rare occurrence in the Army. Epidemic outbreaks probably will not occur, because of the immunity which most adults seem to have. Occasional cases may be expected to develop, especially in those who have just come from civil life, and unless they are recognized early and isolated, other cases may occur among the nonimmunes exposed by contact. A case of poliomyelitis contracted before arrival in camp was recently encountered at Camp Jackson, and the clinical course was complicated and the diagnosis rendered difficult by a secondary infection which was the result of the primary disease.
—The patient, an Italian laborer, was admitted to the Base Hospital, Camp Jackson, June 27, 1918, on his arrival from Chicago, complaining of indefinite pains in the left hip, thigh and knee. The temperature was 102 F. He was married, had no pernicious

My daughter met this super cool 25-year old guy last weekend at a party. He was adorable, graduated from a prestigious college on the East Coast, was very cultured, well-traveled, witty, athletic, interesting, and super smart. They had great chemistry at the party and talked for hours. He kept talking about his "roomies," which she later found out are his P-A-R-E-N-T-S. He is sitting on $60K of student loans, still looking for work, and living at home with his parents.
My daughter was shaken by this news, but the guy was totally upbeat. His pictures and "roomies" pictures are posted on Facebook and Instagram with captions that read:
- Me and the roomies getting wasted
- Me and my roomies playing strip poker
- Me and my roomie going to the symphony
- Me and my roomies fixin dinner
- Me and my roomies chilin
- Me and my roomies grocery shopping
- Me and my roomie going watching the superbowl
A nice guy who likes his parents!
Listen up, managers: Your young Millennials want to guidance and structure. In return, they want your respect and approval. And they want you to provide a comfortable home — that is, a fun place to work where they can bring their friends, who are their fellow team members.

From the groundbreaking SLACKER to his innovative BOYHOOD, Linklater has just reached the 21-year mark and has unapologetically carved his signature into American pop culture.

From Caddy's to Blazers, Travis Barker always has a project in the works. Over the weekend, Barker shared a photo of his red Chevy K5 Blazer sitting on new custom made six inch soft ride springs. According to Barker's caption on the photo, the Blazer's going in for a paint job next so we'll have to wait and see what color he goes with. Any guesses?

Hardcore punk foursome from Washington, D.C., known for its anticommercial purism. Long before Pearl Jam took on TicketMaster, Fugazi refused to charge more than five dollars for concerts. Despite offers of lucrative deals, the band has eschewed major labels to become one of the best-selling independent acts ever.
Lionized as "the conscience of the American music underground" (and invoked by credibility-hungry celebrities such as Keanu Reeves and proto riot grrrl Joan Jett), Fugazi has maintained its constituency with a string of powerful "harDCore" albums–Repeater (1991), In on the Killtaker (1993), and Red Medicine (1995)–and a long tradition of pummeling live shows that double as a pulpit for admonitory sermons.
Lead singer and ex-Minor Threat front man Ian MacKaye (b. 1962) is well known for his opposition to moshing, and rowdy audience members frequently find themselves singled out and sent packing (with a full refund, of course). In 1996 Fugazi embarked… Continue reading
Princeton, New Jersey, organization which administers the country's best-known standardized tests, including the principal arbiters of higher education admissions (e.g. SAT, CAT, GRE, LSAT). ETS has been under attack for years by Naderite groups bent on exposing the tests' cultural bias against women, minorities, and the poor, beginning with Ralph Nader's own 1980 Reign of ETS: The Corporation That Makes Up Minds (co-author Allan Nairn) and David Owen's 1985 None of the Above. The latter led to the formation of FairTest, which filed a Civil Rights complaint against ETS and the College Board in February of 1994.
ETS has responded in part by replacing the vocabulary section of the SAT with more reading comprehension questions, "recentering" the test around the average score of 500, allowing students to use calculators, and experimenting with computer adaptive testing. None of these reforms, however, address the fact that a pricey Stanley Kaplan, Princeton Review,… Continue reading
Call-interrupting service that gives an answerable beeping sound to a call receiver already on the phone. This replacement for the busy signal has created a new phone-etiquette vocabulary ranging from the straightforward "Let me get that" and "I'm on the other" to the more oblique "Where are you" (implying "Can I call you back?").
Removing any doubt about missing a call because of an in-use line, call-waiting undoubtedly also contributed to the increased time that people spend on the phone.
First introduced by local phone companies in the mid-'70s, call-waiting was not prevalent enough to merit social commentary from Miss Manners, Dave Barry, and Dear Abby until the late '80s, when each bemoaned the "last come, first served" innovation-despite phone company commercials showing Dad getting through to Mom even when there's a phone-addicted teen at home.
(Deadly to most modem and fax connections, call-waiting can be disabled by beginning calls… Continue reading

Chattanooga, Tennessee's AT&T Field — home of the Chattanooga Lookouts baseball team — is the backdrop for the "Roadshow's" look at collecting minor league baseball memorabilia.
Highlights include a 19th-century military over-the-shoulder saxophone; an heirloom Confederate soldier's sword; and a collection of movie marketing memorabilia from the 1920s to the 1980s, valued at $10,000 to $15,000.
Pictured: Passed down to the owner from her grandfather, who managed a movie theater in Cleveland, Tennessee, this colorful array of posters, lobby cards and arcade cards earns appraiser Gary Sohmer's estimate of $10,000 to $15,000.

Among the many scams to be aware of over the long holiday shopping weekend, the award for best name goes to smishing.
With Black Friday fast approaching, Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams warned city shoppers Wednesday about a host of consumer cons, among them smishing or SMS phishing, the texting version of those common, crooked e-mail come-ons.
With smishing, scammers send unsolicited text messages to cellphones notifying unsuspecting consumers of phony vacation deals, or warning that their bank accounts are compromised and instructing them to call a phone number through which personal information is extracted.

The air traveler's guide to Carmageddon
Traffic on the 405 Freeway around Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) can be a nightmare. But on the weekend of July 15-18 it is expected to be even worse, in part because more airport shuttles and buses than normal will be on the road in an effort to get travelers to and from LAX on time.
"Plan ahead is the key word," said Harold Johnson, an airport spokesman.
During the 405's 53-hour shutdown, traffic between Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley will turn to other arteries, including the 101, 5, 210 and 110 freeways, the canyon routes and Pacific Coast Highway. This is expected to create long delays on such detours.
LAX has posted a "405 Freeway Alert" to its Web site, lawa.org, and plans to notify arriving passengers of the closure by hanging informational posters around the airport.
Among the 50,000 international passengers traveling through LAX's Bradley Terminal on Sunday, July 17, will be 250 from Israel, who might not be aware of the freeway closure.
Liora Avrahami, West Coast regional manager for El Al, said only one flight will arrive from Tel Aviv during Carmageddon, because the airline doesn't fly on Shabbat.
Upon learning of the freeway closure in early June, Avrahami said El Al contacted travel agents with the news, but not its passengers.
However, those arriving from Israel will find plenty of transportation services available at the airport.
The Van Nuys FlyAway, which ferries passengers between the Valley and LAX, will operate throughout the weekend. To ensure correct departure times, Johnson said, the FlyAway is increasing the number of buses available that weekend.
"Extra buses will be available so that the buses will leave the terminals when expected," he said.
The buses, which usually travel along the 405, will use the 101, among other detours, Johnson said.
Airport shuttle services are also preparing for the closure.
Bobby Gilson, marketing manager at Prime Time Shuttle, said their dispatchers are adding one to two hours to pick-up time estimates for that weekend.
And while the drivers will rely on GPS systems to navigate traffic, Gilson is hopeful that Angelenos will make their job easier by avoiding the freeways altogether.
"We're hoping for less drivers on the road," Gilson said.
For those who would prefer to avoid the freeways altogether that weekend, Johnson suggests turning to public transportation.
"Consider a Metro Rail alternative," Johnson said, referring to the Metro's Green Line, which has an Aviation Boulevard/LAX station.

There's another thread on this, but weren't they impounded at Gatwick not long ago?...
The French government released a list of airlines banned from their their airspace on "safety grounds."
Banned airlines lists publishedOriginally Posted by BBC News
I've not flown with Phuket Airlines, but hadn't realised they were markedly less reliable than any other small operator. Anyone have any bad experiences with these guys?
- Reg
There's another thread on this, but weren't they impounded at Gatwick not long ago?...
Lots of info on Phuket Air on another thread - my mates were stuck in Sharjah for a couple of days after a wing caught fire on take-off and another mate was 20 hours late getting to Gatwick because of plane problems and then Gatwick refused to let the plane land because of previous problems of Phuket Air planes taking off despite not being certified airworthy....I believe!
Excuse me for not taking this seriously .....
Phuket Air - The Lada of Airlines
What is the lada of airlines. I dont have a clue.
Too long in Exile, too long not singing my song.

Too long in Exile my friend, Baby you can never go home again.

Thanks ElectrO, very, very clear, and come to think of I do remember that car.
I've flown in that ex-KLm jet to London and back. Apart from the shaking during take off, all was fine.
Now I'm occasionally meeting one of the stewardesses. :twogirls:
But they only fly to Buri Ram and Ranong now in prop jobs, she must have a lot of time of her hands.
I have a friend who flies them to and from Mae Sot every week: he complained of exhaust fumes in the cabin on his last flight and had to spend a day in bed recovering.
...majestically enthroned amid the vulgar herd...
And now the final chapter, they have thrown in the towel according to Wednesdays BKK post! Only down to Ranong to the owners casino. The rest of the planes are wet leased.
Taken from Phuket Gazette
Phuket Air 'will not close down'
BANGKOK: Capt Chawanit Chiamcharoenvut, Executive Vice-President of Phuket Air, this afternoon confirmed to the Gazette that Phuket Air is not going out of business, but will instead expand its local routes.
The announcement came after a report in today's Bangkok Post that quoted Senator Vikrom Aisiri, founder and president of the airline, as saying the company was "preparing for a 'soft landing' to limit further losses and troubles".
Phuket Air, Sen Vikrom was quoted as saying, will be "ending most scheduled flights, ceasing charter operations and leasing nearly all of its fleet including the nine Boeing 747 jumbo jets."
The article also reported that K. Vikrom had said that "he looked back on four years of prejudice, negative perceptions from authorities, the media and even some members of the public, at home and overseas."
Today, however, after coming out of a meeting lasting much of the day, Capt Chawanit confirmed a report in today's Nation newspaper, in which he was quoted as saying that Phuket Air will scale down its long-haul operations and instead focus on its local routes.
"I can confirm 100% that we are continuing in the aviation business and will expand our domestic routes. I guarantee it," Capt Chawanit told the Gazette.
"I heard Sen Vikrom talk with the Bangkok Post reporter yesterday and he sounded very hurt, [after the] pressure and disappointment of having much bad press that was not true.
"I asked him [K. Vikrom] today why he said that, because people would be shocked to hear it. I have already explained to the Bangkok Post reporter that it's not true," he said.
Capt Chawanit said that, far from closing, the airline is considering adding a three-flights-a-week service between Chiang Mai and Udon Thani in October, and boosting flights between Bangkok and Yangon from two to four a week.
Phuket Air currently operates three domestic flights, Bangkok-Buri Ram, Bangkok-Mae Sot and Bangkok-Ranong, and one regional route – Bangkok-Yangon.
Well I guess thats good news for those who work for Phuket Air. I know they are downsizing to a great degree.
I noticed on the Belgian banned list there's "Silverback Cargo Freighters" out of Rwanda. Can you actually imagine stepping onto one of their aircraft?
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. This is you captain speaking. Please find your emergency goat beneath your seat for a sacrificial offering in case we have to make an emergency landing on that big wet blue thing underneath us. The weather report for our flight today indicates a thunderstorm ahead so I think that's a definite case of baaaad Ju Ju bwana. So just relax, sit back, enjoy the flight and try not to annoy the 12 year old genocidal street gang member with the RPG and AK-47 sitting next to you when he steals the centre arm rest. By the way, can anybody tell me which direction New York is? Is it towards or away from that big orange ball in the sky? Also we have a pregnant woman on board so can any witchdoctor travelling with us please make himself known to the stewardess. Don't worry, we already have a supply of chicken bones and virgins blood on board."
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no Interior Minister of Thailand's son.
This prejudice against Asians who have no concept of safety and following international law is outragous! And fancy making them pay their debts! Everyone knows the Thai way is best and the whole world (much of which is only rented from Thailand anyway) should follow their lead in business affairs to ensure an ethically pure world.The article also reported that K. Vikrom had said that "he looked back on four years of prejudice, negative perceptions from authorities, the media and even some members of the public, at home and overseas."

Degrib (NDFD GRIB2 Decoder)
|NDFD Home
Subject: degrib version 0.85
Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2002 18:40:06 -0500
From: "Arthur.Taylor"
Organization: DOC/NOAA/NWS - National Weather Service
To: Arthur Taylor
You all have the unique distinction of being registered on my degrib
mailing list (all 5 of us) (I'd like to welcome Albion Taylor and Ron
Murphy to the list). Since you are a member, you get this email...
Please let me know if you want to unregister.
I have just finished version "0.85" (last one was "0.80" on 11/05/2002)
New to this release:
1) All the code is now properly (in my opinion) commented (awaiting
internal code walk throughs) A number of misconceptions and bugs have
been resolved during the commenting process.
2) Added command line option: -revFlt generates a .tlf file which starts
in the lower left corner instead of the upper left corner. ArcView
prefers the file to start in the upper left, while NDFD Image creation
software prefers the lower left.
3) Added command line option: -MSB (-nMSB) generates binary files Most
Significant Byte first (or not) when there is a choice. This mainly
applies to .tlf or .flt files. The default I have used is for MSB .flt
files, although ArcView's S.A. uses a helper file so it can handle
both. I chose MSB for the default, because the grib2 file was MSB.
Unfortunately for the NDFD Image creation software, it assumed the file
was generated on the same platform it was running, on which happened to
be Linux, so it needed -nMSB.
4) It has now been tested successfully on 2 AIX platforms (Suitland's
mainframe, and on the ARL's AIX (courtesy of Albion Taylor.))
5) It can handle the "new" NDFD grib2 file format as well as the old.
Most of the test suites use the old format, but I do have 1 test with
the new format. The old format was a 21 byte wmo descriptor followed by
1 GRIB message after another, and only one variable was in a file.
The new format has 40 bytes (19 byte size descriptor and a 21 byte wmo
descriptor) to describe a group, then 40 bytes to describe a GRIB
message, the GRIB message, another 40 bytes to describe the next GRIB
message, the next GRIB message, etc, for all GRIB messages in that
group. (A group is 1 particular weather element, for example: Tmax).
The file now can have multiple weather elements (or groups). So it
could look like: 40 40 GRIB 40 GRIB 40 GRIB 40 40 GRIB 40 GRIB etc.
(Note if you use the new test, there was something wrong with the
creation of the .grb file, so for the second group it was only using 18
bytes (not 21) for the wmo descriptors.)
What this means to you... You are using tcldegrib, and again not much
has changed, other than bug fixes. However you may want the newer test
suite (11/15 for Tmax/ Tmin/ T/ Td/ Pop12 instead of 10/17). Also you
may want the newer code in case you get some of the "new format" data.
I think they are going to be putting some of the regions on the ftp site
soon, and you may need the new code to read it.
What this means to you... I again have compiled current versions in
~taylor/degrib/bin on rainbow (HP-GDP), in ~taylor/degrib/bin on bd10
(linux), and in /nfsuser/g06/we25at/degrib/bin on Suitland's IBM. So
again, you shouldn't need to download the code or compile it yourself.
Not sure if you are using it to help with the verification stuff or not,
but let me know if you need help.
What this means to you... Not much, although it might be nice if you
could test the current version on your system. I have tested the
current one on Suitland's AIX system.
What this means to you... I have no idea, since I don't know how you are
using it (or if you are). Hopefully I have gotten rid of more bugs than
I introduced during all the commenting, and made it more legible. So if
you are looking at the code you might want the newer copy. Also you may
need it for the "newer" ndfd grib2 files.

3 Mobile Security Threats A BYOD Strategy Should Prepare For
As government works to keep up with the mobile revolution, more applications are becoming available on personal devices. Several agencies offer BYOD policies, while others are enabling mobile transactions for citizen services.
Though these programs present agencies with an opportunity to simplify transactions and potentially decrease costs, they may also make the agency vulnerable to security breaches. One of the biggest threats is social engineering, a process by which an adversary tricks the user into offering up information or access rights.

(Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)
Rep. Steve Cohen
Mr. Speaker, what the public saw today in the House of Representatives was a STOCK Act sold short. Unfortunately, what could have been an outstanding bill was changed by the Republican leadership by taking the two most important aspects put in the Senate bill out. One was a public corruption provision that would have allowed prosecutors to prosecute, from the courthouse to the Capitol, public corruption. This was something Senator Leahy had, and in the House it was Representative Sensenbrenner, a Republican, passed unanimously by the Judiciary Committee. But for some reason unbeknownst to me, it was stripped by the leadership of the Republican side out of the bill. Democrats didn't have an opportunity to participate in the drafting of the bill, and what was the work of Louise Slaughter and Tim Walz was hijacked from them.
Another important provision was the political intelligence provision. It was taken out by K Street lobbyists working with the leadership--late. That should not have been taken out.
The two best parts of the STOCK Act were sold short, and the American public should have had better today. We passed something, but not what we should have done.

Paul Haggis, quit Scientology in 2009, and his time in the church was chronicled in the New Yorker magazine. Paul confirmed that Scientology officials were on the hunt for a new wife for Tom Cruise in an email to Showbiz411. According to Vanity Fair, Nazanin Boniadi - an Iranian-born, London-raised actress and Scientologist - was picked after a month-long audition process and dated Cruise from November 04 until January 05. In his email Paul Haggis said he's known Boniadi for about three years. "I met her through a mutual friend when I was doing my own personal research into the allegations against Scientology, before I wrote my letter of resignation." "However I was deeply disturbed by how the highest ranking members of a church could so easily justify using one of their members; how they so callously punished her and then so effectively silenced her when it was done.

For his newest music video, rising star Joshua Radin got a little help from a famous friend – Zach Braff.
Radin, who famously serenaded Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi at their August wedding, enlisted the Scrubs star (a pal from Northwestern University) to direct the video for "I'd Rather Be with You," the lead single off his sophomore album, Simple Times.
"Joshua wanted to do something very small and simple this time," Braff tells PEOPLE exclusively. "So we loaded up some old super 8 cameras, one of my old Polaroid cameras, and went on a road trip. The song tells its own story – all I really did was create a simple, pretty collage around his lyrics."
30 Rock's Katrina Bowden stars in the video.
Radin, whose songs have gotten heavy play on shows like Grey's Anatomy, One Tree Hill, and, as of Tuesday, 90210, can next be seen on Late Night with Conan O'Brien on Wednesday.

SELINSGROVE - Lovers of live theater entertainment will be able to look no further than the Susquehanna Valley Mall, where a new theater will be put in. Located in the courtyard of J.C. Penney, the theater will be known as the Courtyard Theater, and it will feature talent from the local area performing Broadway plays and musicals.
The theater will be run and opened by Producer Art Lieberman and Director Bob Taylor, and it also will be used for other various mediums of live visual entertainment, such as concerts, corporate events, fashion shows and anything else that can be done in a theatrical environment.
Productions performed at the Courtyard will be under the direction of Bob Taylor. Taylor has experience in local theaters as a director, actor, set and costume designer and high school drama instructor for the Muncy Area High School.

The Courtyard Theater is located at the Susquehanna Valley Mall in Selinsgrove. It is being opened by theater producer Art Lieberman and director Bob Taylor, who recently organized performances at the Pajama Factory.
Taylor also performed with the Valley Players in July for the performance they put on of the comedy "The Art of Murder."
Lieberman and Taylor came to be suitable business partners through a love of theater. Performing in several plays professionally, Lieberman has performed in "Oklahoma," "The Roar of the Greasepaint, the Smell of the Crowd" and "Stop the World, I Want to Get Off." He also spent time as a piano entertainer for more than 40 years, and he also features a large knowledge of Broadway music. During his 35-year career, Taylor has directed and performed more than 300 plays.
Lieberman attempted to produce the SUN Area High School Musical Awards, and began to seek a director to oversee the production. This is when Lieberman met Taylor, when they produced and directed a version of "The Rocky Horror Show" in the Pajama Factory, 1307 Park Ave.
According to Lieberman, the Pajama Factory wasn't the best acting facility, as the heating system was loud and it was hard to hear the actors voices over it, and it did not draw the best crowd.
Together, the two-men found "Custom Taylored Productions," as well as working on two more dramas to be put on at the Pajama Factory, when they began to seek a theater to call their own. Preit called them and accommodated an open space at the Susquehanna Valley Mall for them.
"They made us an offer we couldn't refuse," said Lieberman. The theater will be opening the second week in October for their performance of the musical "Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street." Nine performances will be schedule for the last three weekends in October, each having evening performances on Friday and Saturday nights, along with a Sunday matinee held at 2 p.m.
On Aug. 5, 6 and 7, open auditions were held for "Sweeney Todd." A keyboard was provided for those that auditioned as they came prepared to sing songs. A total of nine major characters were sought, including all of the chorus parts as well as a boy to play a 10-year-old.
A schedule already has been put together by Lieberman and Taylor for the rest of 2013 and all of 2014. The schedule includes the musicals "Rent," "Assassins," "1776," along with the Mel Brooks comedy "The Producers." "Deathtrap" and "Same Time, Next Year," will be among the non-musical pieces performed, along with two others, one being an original production.
According to Lieberman and Taylor, the mall has been very supportive and cooperative of their efforts for the theater, including agreeing to raise the roof over the stage to 23 feet in order to accommodate the height needed for the multiple stage levels.
Stores in the mall may even consider giving discounts to customers and showgoers, including Garfield's Restaurant, who are considering running a special "dinner and a show" discount.
Both Lieberman and Taylor hope that the new theater will bring new entertainment and become a popular venue for those located in the area.
Lieberman expects the theater to perform well, "being that we are the only legitimate theater close in the area as well as there being a lot of untapped talent - there are thousands of kids who do the high school productions and Bob Taylor is extremely talented and great at getting the talent to come out of people."

Alesis iO Dock Hack: Internal USB hub
Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 9:52AM by Tim Webb
untergeek addresses one of the key problems with the Alesis iO Dock, which is unable to connect a USB Hub to the iPad. In this video he demonstrates why this is, with helpful cutouts, and how to fix it with only minor soldering and a hot glue gun. Now if only there was a simple solution to getting digital audio in/out of the dock, instead of going DA and then back to AD with shitty converters.
If you have an iO Dock and want to do this hack yourself read untergeek's write-up, which includes lots of helpful pictures.

Team talk and a CRM upgrade
19 Jul 2016
A CRM upgrade is not just about tech – you need to consider the effect on people, says Ivan Wainewright....
Sorry for interrupting, but there is something we need to tell you...

If you wish to restrict or block web browser cookies which are set on your device then you can do this through your browser settings, the Help function within your browser will tell you how.
Foul play and a lack of transparency is suspected by Ian Allsop at the PTA pancake-day fundraiser.
While the relentless tide of health and safety regulation means we are no longer allowed to employ children to clean chimneys, they can usefully and legally be put to work in other ways. Such as by columnists looking for things to write about. Several years ago I was able to use my then three-year old's insistence on putting loose change into every charity collecting bucket he saw to calculate the contribution toddler philanthropy makes to the UK voluntary sector.
As well as saying and doing the funniest things, children naturally renew the way you view the world. Being involved closely with the education system presents plenty of source material for a columnist. For example, I am chair of governors at our local school, which has given me an opportunity to observe the school's approach to charity, to community, and to fundraising from the stance of both a parent and commentator.
Encouragingly, there is as much emphasis in our school on what money is being raised for as simply cash gathering. This is something the curriculum has given due prominence to, in an 'equipping future good citizenship' sort of way. Sport Relief, Comic Relief and Jeans for Genes Day are regular events that the school structures activities and assemblies around, while recently the school held a one-off 'zumbathon' to raise money for the mother of a pupil with advanced motor neurone disease, a situation it has handled sensitively with the children.
Zumbathon is a good example of how language evolves, in that 'thon' can be appended to any pursuit used for fundraising, as a derivation of the portmanteau word telethon – a hybrid of television and marathon. As an aside, and for 30 points, in which country was the first telethon held in 1978?
I now know that if you want outstanding results from your fundraising teams then employ anyone involved with a PTA.
As well as achieving margins on home-made cakes that a Mayfair patisserie would be proud of, their programme of discos, fetes, coffee mornings, quiz nights, pamper parties and mother's day gift sales (my wife can never have too many musical mugs) raises significant sums for the school to spend on things such as additional playground equipment or extra books.
After all, this free state education won't fund itself. And this fundraising is done in a way that involves the local community and the children, giving them a sense of ownership and involvement with the school.
However, there has to be a level of trust and transparency in how results are reported and I fear recently the PTA overstepped the mark. They held a sponsored pancake flip in school. We unthinkingly pledged £1 a flip. My youngest is nearly five and I actually worried whether he would manage any at all. And even if he did, I was fairly certain the airborne pancake would be eaten before it returned to the pan.
Imagine my horror when he emerged from school boasting that he had managed 20 flips. The looks on fellow parental faces indicated similar surprisingly unexpected results from children whose tossing skills had remained hidden up to that point.
I suspected foul play. I took him home and demanded answers. He refused to talk, even when I tied him up and left him in the shed for two days without food. Eventually he cracked and admitted they had received help from grown-ups.
The next day I was straight down to the school demanding the event be re-run with independent witnesses, perhaps the same UN officials who observe elections when it is suspected that democracy isn't being strictly adhered to in dodgy countries such as Zimbabwe or Russia. Or the US.
I didn't really do either of those things of course. The PTA has subsequently commented on the "staggering success" of the pancake flip and I am sure the money will be put to great use and the benefit of the children. But it did make me think that there is a certain level of trust in how the achievements that are used as the basis for collecting pledges are verified and accepted.
Perhaps kids are constantly chatting their way through sponsored silences or completing lengths of the swimming baths from the warmth of the spectator's gallery. As well as fuelling a false belief that we are entering a golden age of British pancake flipping, inflated results could dampen parental enthusiasm for contributing to future events if they feel their trust is being compromised, even if it has reinvigorated my long-established cynicism.
Before you ask, there is photographic evidence of me completing my half marathon last year. And award yourself 30 points if you said Chile.

Thank you Ian for your very funny article which made me laugh out loud on my first day back at work after my holidays (never a good moment). It is inspiring how much charitable activity goes on in schools though the hidden cost behind some events was brought home to me by my daughter who was delighted to be missing (for various reasons) a fundraising 'wear your own clothes day'. She was relieved as it would mean she wouldn't have to buy a new outfit - apparently the norm for the girls participating. I don't think these costs for the poor parents are every taken into account.
Corrie Darker

3 Apr 2012
As Chair of my PTA I couldn't agree more about inflated results and levels of trust. We aim to be completely transparent about how much we raise and how we raise it. Our parents are always amazed at the quality of goods and events we are able to provide while always bearing in mind the constant financial pressures on families. Our challenge remains showing accurately what that money is being spent on and ensuring it doesn't disappear into a school budget "black hole"
