spiceworks can not do this, or it is not designed for any incident report etc. it works in different way.
Dec 5, 2011 at 11:21 UTC
thanks, what does it means "different way"?
Dec 5, 2011 at 11:31 UTC
Different ways, like it collects your computer / devices inventory, it has an help desk feature which you can use it for your users to track their IT related issues and etc. You should visit the below link for complete information.

It isn't a perfect solution, but you might want to look at Ticket Check Lists. You create Check List templates which you then assign to your tickets. Then you can check off the items that you need to do for that ticket.
For exmaple, have one for New Staff or Purchase Request and your staff can follow along the correct process.
For my install it lists them in the opposite order in which you enter the items, so enter in your last one first.

I have a MI CPL. I'm going to be traveling through the states above and staying in Maryland. Via Handgunlaw.us, I can carry in every state but Maryland. My questions are below for all members that live in those states.
Can I carry hollow points in your state?
Is your state a must inform LEO state?
Is a no gun sign result in a gun crime charge other than a trespassing charge?
Where can't I carry?
And for Maryland members only;
Can I have a gun inside my hotel room?
Can I keep my gun loaded in my hotel room?
Big thanks in advance.

It's really not a good idea to rely on strangers to keep you appraised of legal issues, especially those involving firearms. Do an internet search for each state's gun laws. If it were me I would also print out the pertinent information and carry it with me.
I've did an internet search.... mainly on handguncarry.us. I'm just covering all bases.

READ FIRST: Where you CAN and CANNOT Carry weapons in the State of Pennsylvania
In Virginia hollow point ammo is legal, it is not a must inform state, carrying where a sign is posted by the owner is a tresspassing offense not a gun law offense (if you refuse to leave when asked). Schools (except to drop off and pick up someone, you must remain in the vehicle), court houses, jails, airport terminals. Handgunlaws.us pretty well covers the places you can't carry.

HP's are okay.
Ohio is a must inform state for any time you are speaking to an officer in an official capacity.
No-gun signs carry the weight of law, and are a firearms crime, not just a trespassing citation.
The list of no carry places is kind of long, but off the top of my head, schools, government buildings, churches unless you have the pastor's permission, airports, and ANY place that sells alcohol for consumption ON PREMISES. So any restaurant that has a liquor license is a no-go, and that one is a felony if you violate it. This does not apply to a stop n rob convenience store, since it is not sold for consumption on premises.
You can now carry in rest areas. Loaded gun has to be in a holster, in your person, while in a vehicle.

You are only paranoid until you are right - then you are a visionary.
WV: HP is OK
LEO inform is not required but heavily recommended at least in a traffic stop. I work closely with LEO and am quasi LEO
I have been from one end of the state to the other and have seen very few no gun signs, I am covered under LEOSA
I dont pay attention to them often.
No carry on any government or school properties. Open Carry is legal, as long as you are "on foot and engaged in legal activity"
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.

i am a plus size lady and was aeraid the size marked would not fit. but they did. thank you very much
I have tried similar workout pants and was left disappointed. This is the only brand and fit of capri workout pants that work perfectly for my body and activity. The waistband is the best, it holds up and does hold everything in. Plus, the fit is flattering for all body types.
I was looking for some light weight pants for travel and saw the good reviews on these. I LOVE them!!! Bought a second pair already and wish they had other colors. I work in an athletic setting so can also wear these for work as well. They are "professional" in cut/style but feel amazing. The boot cut fit is nice, I have a curvy/athletic build and these are flattering even through hips/thighs. True to size. Worth the price!
2nd pair of these pants I've purchased! When you find pants that are comfortable and look nice...buy a bunch! Wish they had other colors.
I love these pants. They are so comfortable. They wash and dry with no wrinkles and look neat. They aren't thin, you can't see through them. One of the pairs I ordered was about 4 inches too long, but I gave them to my granddaughter because she is taller than me. I will just order some more.
I had done bought these are month ago and love the fit
Lthe fit and the feel of these legging. Very comfy.
The pants fit well. The color was accurate. They arrived really quick.
These capris are one of the greatest products North Face has come out with yet. I also have the matching pants. They have their "flash dry" technology; they breathe; are so soft, the fabric feels luxurious, they are high quality; yet can be dressed up or down & worn for absolutely any occasion, either for very athletic; indoor workouts, hard core gym workouts, throw in the wash, they are dry in a "flash" & ready to wear to an evening elegant event; or to wear around town to do shopping, etc. or ... just to cozy up & watch a movie on TV. Great Work North Face!! You Score again!
Great fit, comfy, and versatile.
I ordered these online for a weekend hiking trip we had coming up. I was so excited when the came in and decided to wear them on a practice hike. I am so glad I decided to try them out before my trip because after a short morning hike they already had a hole in the leg. It appears that the seam came apart. The pants were very comfortable and I always but BCG brand but I am very sad that the quality of these pants is low. I hope to find time to return these and find something that will last through my trip.
Had bought a pair in store a year ago and love them. So comfy and flattering I sleep in these in cold weather, also wear to gym. Have since ordered more online twice, as I lost weight and went down a size. Also was able to wear these after spine surgery that made jeans uncomfortable. Best ten dollars I ever spent.
Just buy them! They are the perfect feel and fit, super comfortable! Not your average sweatpants!
I bought these capri pants, and I am happy with the purchase. They are comfortable, sturdy, and they fit well. I plan to order another color soon.
Bought 3 pairs of these, quite comfy, true to size and wash up really nice,
I have the same pair in pants and they are dressy enough looking to wear to work but these are too sporty for that. I bought them for a 3 month work trip in the middle east where my knees have to be covered but it's 100+ every day. So far so good, they are are light weight, whatever wrinkles wear themselves out once you put them on and they are comfy. I am a solid size 10 and these are a nice causal fit, I need the tie but I like that they are loose due to the heat I'm in.
I bought these capris for a trip to Disney World. I wanted comfortable, cool pants to wear. These caris were perfect.
Ordered these pants online since nobody has ladies in store. Hands down best comfort pant since yogas! Love wearing them to work, all the pockets come in handy
These were an early Valentine's Day gift from my husband.
I love this pant. I am 5'8 145 lbs and and a large fits perfect. I am going to order another pair. They are not to low !
I was very happy with the fit & the light material was exactly what I was looking for. Not to mention I got it at a great price.. There was only one small feature with the strings on the bottom of the legs, I'm not quite sure why they are there? Otherwise very pleased with this product.
I am now the proud owner of 4 of the pants I bought from Academy. I literally wear them every day...............great quality, so very comfortable.
Bought these recently and the are so comfortable. I need more!
My girlfriend left these tights at my apartment and after I tried these on they fit and felt so comfortable I wore them the whole day. I don't think she's getting them back. :)
I LOVE these!!! The fit is perfect, doesn't show throw, keeps me warm and I receive tons of compliments....they're very slimming! Wished I'd bought two pair...matter of fact, I think I'll order another now!
These crop leggings are amazing! They fit perfectly! Before I ordered them I went to Nike's website and did the fit test. It told me to get a size larger then what I normally wear. I'm glad I did because they are the perfect size!
I'm shocked how much I love these. They're a little flashy for my taste but I fell in love once I tried them on. I have no butt and my tummy is my problem area but these things hug in all the right ways, so flattering, and stay up well enough to run in. I get complements every time I wear them.
I bought one pair of these pants in the store and fell In love with them. I immediately ordered three more online--2 in black and another grey pair. They are so comfortable and wear very well. I can wear them out to lunch and exercise in them. They are not tight like yoga pants and that's one of the main reasons I like them so much. And they have pockets! They are the perfect everyday wear pants for me!
I wear these pants to walk my dog. The are very light and comfortable.
Nice pants but run at least a size small. I usually comfortably fit a size 10 (in this brand) and they were much too tight. Planning to order a 12 when restocked. Cut/style seems like it will work well (athletic/curvy build). I like the light weight material
I usually buy 12 curvy in jeans. These were waaay too small. I gave it 3 stars because they do look and feel like the look I am going for.
These seem to overall run a little big, as I had to go down a size, but in the smaller size they are a perfect fit!
Pushing yourself through that last part of your workout can be tough, but wearing comfortable women's training pants gives you just enough energy to make it to your goal. Cozy sweats provide a soft feel that doesn't chafe or rub the wrong way while you move, and pants made of fleece material keep you warm during outdoor exercises. Look for capri-style and 3/4-style pants that help to minimize restrictions on your legs, while pants with a fuller cut keep wind and water away from your skin when you're braving the elements. Be sure to shop our selection of women's athletic shoes to find a pair that can help you kick your training regimen up a notch.
Your workouts don't stop just because Mother Nature decides to get a little nasty. Women's training tights are an easy way to add another layer to your workout wardrobe, helping your muscles get warm and relaxed while you move. Many training tights are made of a moisture-wicking material that keeps you feeling comfortable and dry, while others have mesh cutouts for targeted ventilation.
While most women's athletic pants are a basic black that can match just about anything in your closet, others are an eye-popping pink, purple or teal shade that shows off your fun side. Gradient patterns that gradually change from one color to another provide a head-turning look. Athletic pants are also available in camo patterns, such as Realtree Xtra, that help you blend into the environment when you wear them during your next hunting expedition.


text: D-Mop's diverse approach to fashion literally shines through as they make up the 'D' of the A to ZX, with the Hong Kong store choosing a ZX 500 for this futuristic take on an 80′s icon. Grey suede with a silver reptilian print applied next to a silver premium leather makes for an eyecatching version of a familiar running design. Metallic down to the insole, tradition is applied via the unexpected, but aesthetically pleasing dose of yellow and red on the outsole. Given the appealing single colour upper, it's open to a number of different looks via the numerous coloured laces offered as part of the package. Unique and bold, this is a completely new look for a pioneering adidas creation.

Schedule: The Rebels opened practice Tuesday evening. Friday and Saturday practices will be open to the public throughout the spring, beginning with a morning workout on March 7. Other open practices include March 21, March 28, March 29, April 4 and the Grove Bowl on April 5 at 1 p.m. ET inside Vaught-Hemmingway Stadium.
What's new: Yet again, coach Hugh Freeze was able to keep his staff intact. The expectations, however, are a bit higher in Year 3 of the Freeze era in Oxford.
On the move: Defensive end Channing Ward will work at tight end for the Rebels this spring. Sophomore running back Kailo Moore is moving from running back to cornerback. Defensive tackle Carlton Martin is moving to offensive guard. Cornerbacks Quintavius Burdette and Quadarias Mireles are moving to slot receiver. Defensive back Chief Brown will work at the hybrid husky spot. D.T. Shackelford, who played both linebacker and defensive end last year, is moving to middle linebacker and Laquon Treadwell is moving from inside receiver to the outside spot.
On the mend: Offensive lineman Aaron Morris, who is coming off of a torn ACL he suffered last season, will be limited this spring. Fellow offensive lineman Christian Morris is out for the spring after undergoing surgery to repair an injured Achilles. Defensive tackle Woodrow Hamilton is out for the spring after breaking his foot, while offensive tackle Austin Golson will be limited after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery.
New faces: The Rebels welcomed in six early enrollees this year. Two are true freshman: Safety C.J. Hampton and quarterback Kendrick Doss. Two are also junior college transfers: Athlete Jeremy Liggins and linebacker Christian Russell. Defensive end Marquis Haynes is coming over from prep school and Christian Morris transferred from UCLA.
Question marks: Outside of rising sophomore Laremy Tunsil, who is the unquestioned starter at left tackle, the offensive line has plenty of mystery. Coaches will be looking for bodies and answers this spring after losing three senior starters. Not having Aaron Morris or Christian Morris, who could push for a starting job this fall, at full strength certainly hurts. Redshirt junior Justin Bell started all 13 games last year (seven at right guard, six at left guard), which will add stability inside with Aaron Morris limited. Mr. Reliable at center, Evan Swindall, is gone too, leaving a big hole there. The Rebels are also looking for a backup to quarterback Bo Wallace with Barry Brunetti gone. Redshirt freshmen DeVante Kincade and Ryan Buchanan will challenge Ross. Liggins could also get some work at quarterback. With the graduation of Mike Marry and the arrests/suspensions of Denzel Nkemdiche and Serderius Bryant, the Rebels now have some holes at linebacker this spring.
Key battle: The loss of Swindall, who made 35 career starts with the Rebels, is going to hurt. They will mainly work with Bell, redshirt sophomore Robert Conyers and junior Ben Still, who played in five games last year and served as Swindall's backup, at center. Conyers also played in five games last year and has the ability to line up at both center and tackle.
Breaking out: With top-flight wide receiver Donte Moncrief gone, the Rebels will turn to Treadwell to be the new go-to for Wallace. He'll need some help, and Freeze thinks that rising senior Vince Sanders could be that guy. Overshadowed a bit last year, Sanders caught 21 passes for 325 yards and a touchdown. Injuries limited him to playing in nine games, but he has the ability to be a valuable playmaker this season. He has good size and speed to make plays down the field and over the middle. Remember, he registered more than 500 yards and had four touchdowns in 2012. Also, keep an eye on rising sophomore cornerback Derrick Jones, who played in nine games and made three starts last year. He'll be in a battle for one of the corner spots this spring and could be a big-time player for the Rebels.
Don't forget about: Redshirt junior defensive end C.J. Johnson only played in four games last year before undergoing season-ending ankle surgery. Having him back on the field should give the Rebels a big lift off the edge, especially when it comes to the pass rush. That consistent outside threat was lacking after Johnson went down, resulting in Ole Miss finishing the season tied for 12th in the SEC with just 19 sacks after ranking second with 38 in 2012. That year, Johnson led the Rebels with 6.5 sacks. He's not just extremely important on the field; he's a top leader in the locker room.
All eyes on: Wallace could enter the 2014 season as the SEC's top quarterback. Now, some people might scoff at such a statement, but the league lost a great group of QBs, and Wallace has shown good flashes here and there. He has all the tools to be a top player in this league, but he has to work on his decision making. He has a knack for rushing throws and being careless with the ball. Heading into his final year and spring with the Rebels, it's time for Wallace to take that final step as this team's quarterback. He has to conquer the mental part of his game this spring.

A/N: Let's see... songs received:
1. Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit"
2. Colbie Calliat's Capri
3. Heaven by DJ sammy
4. Natasha Bedingfield's Pocketful of sunshine
And then there's mine, Martina's McBride's In My Daughter's Eyes. Which song will precede mine? Ooh, hard pick, hard pick. Because I've never seen a 16 track CD, I'll be picking two. Because the point of this fic was to be a challenge for me, I'll go with Choice 1 for that reason alone. Fortunately, I'm creative, and I can work with a song that would defy most logic in reality. And I think after my song, I'll add Choice 3 for a bittersweet end. Don't say I didn't warn you!
Disclaimer: The works produced here are not mine to own; I am merely advertising random songs while advertising my own work, Shard Card. Read it today in an anime section near you!
WARNING: Cursing ahead. Not that that would phase you.
Track 15- Jefferson Airplane- White Rabbit
"Where is she, dammit!" There were clangs and clashes as Nanoha tried to toss and turn against the restraints. "I'll kill you if you're trying to keep her from me!"
"Nanoha, calm down!" Hayate did her best to both restrain and comfort the woman. "Fate is on her way. You're already earlier than scheduled; if you move around like this-"
"I don't. Fucking. Care. I want Fate here now!"
Yuuno came hurrying into the room. "Nanoha, I got you some ice! They said it's better for you to chew on-"
Nanoha thrust out her leg and caught Yuuno in the thigh, sending him and the ice chips sprawling. "Ice chips aren't worth a thing. I said, get Fate here! Now!"
Hayate whispered something to the nurse, who nodded and went for the doctor, who came in asking, "We have several medications available to make this process more comfortable for you and the baby. Which would you like? We have..."
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
Meanwhile, Fate was not faring much better. She was currently ten minutes away, stuck in traffic. "I could fly faster than these cars are moving at this point." She began to fidget, tapping her finger against the steering wheel. "But if I leave my baby here... who knows what could happen to it... Auto-pilot only works with someone in the car..."
She smiled when the cars started moving again, but frowned when she realized they had only gone all of two feet in the last ten minutes. To make matters worse, she couldn't even pull over because she was jammed in the middle lane.
"Nanoha... wait for me..."
She nearly missed it when the traffic started moving again and she saw her chance to weave through the gaps. It would be narrow but she could do it...
"Sir, incoming call."
"It's Nanoha, isn't it."
"The call is from Rein, sir. But my calculations deduct that it is coming from the vicinity of Raising Heart's master."
Fate took a deep breath and started to speed up in preparation for her test of weaving skills. "Put her through."
"Fate, where are you?"
Fate grit her teeth as she checked the nearest sign. "Still at least seven minutes away, stupid traffic. I think I can cut through though. How's Nanoha?"
"Let's just say she's refusing to deal with anyone but you. And frankly, I have to agree; I think you're the only one who actually received training to deal with her death grip."
Fate winced and smiled sympathetically. "Sorry about that. And I'm not that much better; I still have marks from when she first caught me off guard. I'll be there as soon as I can, okay?"
"Okay. We just gave her some meds, so she's a little quieter right now. I have a feeling her body will fight it off and she'll be just as rowdy in a few minutes though."
Fate cringed along with Hayate as a loud crash was heard from the hospital end. "That sounds like her. Has she been cussing a lot?"
"Horribly. I fear your child's first exposure to Mid-Childan is going to be a Japanese cuss word."
Fate laughed humorlessly. "All right, I have to concentrate on the road. Wish me luck!"
"Good luck and godspeed."
As soon as Hayate disconnected, Fate revved her engines and cut to the left, sped past a truck and cut back to the right, soon cutting through again, back and forth...
The honks came quickly. Fate grumbled, "Oh shut up. My bunny's waiting for me and I'm past the point of stopping out of politeness."
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Recall Alice
When she was just small
Nanoha groaned as she was hit with another sedative. "What the hell are you feeding me...?"
The doctor patted her arm, which felt numb now, and smiled. "Just hang on a little longer, Nanoha-san."
Nanoha threw her head to the side and saw Fate's picture on the table. She smiled a little, before it occurred to her that the bonafide Fate was not there. "I need to go to the bathroom."
The occupants of the room exchanged looks, the same thought seeming to run through all of their minds. Would Nanoha try to make a break for it and look for Fate?
No, that was crazy. Nanoha was dilated seven centimeters already.
Nanoha just might do it.
Nanoha sensed their hesitance like a horse sensed fear. "I said I need to go PI-"
"I'll take you!" Hayate hurriedly stepped forward and everyone took a moment to thank their lucky stars that Hayate was willing to be a martyr for them. "Nurse, could you show me where the bathroom is?"
When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
Fate smiled wide as she saw the hospital looming in the distance. "Hold on, Nanoha, I'll be right there!"
"Sir, collision ahead, forced halt initiated."
Fate took matters into her own hands and enlisted the help of her barrier jacket to make her car fly straight off the road for the few seconds needed to soar over the place of collision. She took the jarring landing with only a brief wince, and sped on further.
At least, she tried.
Some sort of liquid had escaped the truck involved in the collision and had made the road slick and slippery. Not expecting it, Fate's wheels skidded when she tried to speed up, and the brief lapse of control sent her sprawling into another car. With her constant refinements, her car should have gotten the better end of the deal, had they not both skid straight into an intersection during a green light.
Fate only felt pain for a few minutes at best.
"Nanoha... I'm sorry..."
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said;
By the time the baby was ready to be born, Nanoha was far too gone to recognize much of anything, besides perhaps the pain of the contractions that ran into each other one right after the other.
She remembered smiling wide when her new baby girl was passed to her.
And Nanoha remembered asking, "Where's Fate?"
And she remembered everyone looking around, and Hayate acting the martyr and messenger again. "Nanoha... She got into a car accident on her way here."
Nanoha had looked up, disbelieving and not at all sure what to think. "What? Is she okay?"
When no one met her eye, Nanoha knew things had not gone as planned.
"That's what her name will be." Nanoha looked down at her baby girl. "Rather, Umei. That's what we decided before after all."
'Because Fate will always be by my side. She promised.'
NOTE: Track 16 and 17 will be pure music, as the lyrics suggest for themselves how things went down.
Track 16- Martina's McBride- In My Daughter's Eyes Nanoha
In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes
Track 17- DJ Sammy- Heaven Last Track- Nanoha to Fate
Baby you're all that I want.
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven.
Oh, thinking about all our younger years,
There was only you and me,
We were young and wild and free.
Now nothing can take you away from me.
We've been down that road before,
But that's over now.
You keep me coming back for more.
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart.
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven.
Now, nothing could change what you mean to me.
There's a lot that I could say
But just hold me now,
Cause our love will light the way.
Now our dreams are coming true.
Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standing there by you.
(We're in heaven.)
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart.
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven.
A/N: I reached page 51! Thank you for reading this fic, and I dearly hope you read Shard Card to the end. In my defense for the way this ended... well... I won't offer a defense. It's just the way things came out. I tried to keep the fluff up as much as possible! Now I also recommend that you reread Track 01 for added significance. :3

Rob Gronkowski is waiting to hear whether he will need a fourth surgery on his troublesome forearm, but it sounds like he's doing pretty well in the meantime. Gronk broke his forearm while blocking on an extra point in a Week 11 win over the Indianapolis Colts in November. He returned in Week 17, but he re-broke the forearm in the team's playoff victory over the Houston Texans in January. Gronk had a second surgery on the forearm, but his arm got infected and required a third surgery. Reports in April indicated he would need a fourth surgery because of the lingering infection, but the team has taken a "wait-and-see" approach. Now it sounds like there is a possibility Gronk could avoid a fourth surgery. ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss says Gronk has been participating in the Patriots' offseason program and "looks great." He says there is a possibility that Gronk could avoid the surgery and notes that doctors will make their decision in a few weeks. The Boston Herald reported in April that doctors would decide whether Gronk needs a new metal plate inserted in his left forearm. If he has the surgery, he would go through a 10-week rehab period, which could put his status for Week 1 in jeopardy.

Devotion to the Sacred Heart is a wonderful historical expression of the Church's piety for Christ, her Spouse and Lord: it calls for a fundamental attitude of conversion and reparation, of love and gratitude, apostolic commitment and dedication to Christ and His saving work.
Next Friday, June 15th, is the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. There are two things that must always be found together in the devotion to the Sacred Heart: Christ's Heart of flesh and Christ's love for us. True devotion to the Sacred Heart means devotion to the Divine Heart of Christ insofar as His Heart represents and recalls His love for us.
There are several different novenas to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. You can begin the 9-day devotion today and end it on the Solemnity.
Here, we offer links to the various ones:
Efficacious Novena to the Sacred Heart
Meditation, Novena, and Offering to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
The Nine Day Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Are you interested in increasing your devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus? You can discover Sacred Heart prayercards, medals and medallions, statues, rosaries, scapulars, and chaplets, and even artwork.
Love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is wonderful. Did you know that there are 12 promises of the Sacred Heart for those who are faithfully devoted?
1. I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life.
2. I will give peace in their families.
3. I will console them in all their troubles.
4. I will be their refuge in life and especially in death.
5. I will abundantly bless all their undertakings.
6. Sinners shall find in my Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy.
7. Tepid souls shall become fervent.
8. Fervent souls shall rise speedily to great perfection.
9. I will bless those places wherein the image of My Sacred Heart shall be exposed and venerated.
10. I will give to priests the power to touch the most hardened hearts.
11. Persons who propagate this devotion shall have their names eternally written in my Heart.
12. In the excess of the mercy of my Heart, I promise you that my all powerful love will grant to all those who will receive Communion on the First Fridays, for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance: they will not die in my displeasure, nor without receiving the sacraments; and my Heart will be their secure refuge in that last hour.
Of course, you can pray the Novena any nine days of the year, but if you start today, you will end on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

text: NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- For decades, "bigger is better" has been the conventional path to efficiency in industries ranging from transportation to power generation. Food once grown on small family plots now comes overwhelmingly from factory farms. Vessels that carried 2,000 tons of cargo have been replaced by modern container ships that routinely move 150,000 tons. But now, new research shows, we are on the cusp of a radical shift from building big to building small—a change that has profound implications for both established and emerging industries. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120905/NY68578LOGO ) Many industry sectors are nearing or have reached a tipping point in which efficiency of unit size is being replaced by efficiency of numbers, according to a recent study by Garrett van Ryzin, the Paul M. Montrone Professor of Private Enterprise at Columbia Business School, Caner Gocmen, Ph.D. candidate at Columbia Business School, and Eric Dahlgren and Klaus S. Lackner of Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science. Rather than relying on custom-built, large-scale units of production – e.g. massive thermal power plants - industries can benefit from a shift to small, modular, mass-produced units that can be deployed in a single location or distributed across many locations – e.g. photovoltaic (PV) panels mounted on utility poles. Conventional wisdom holds that capital cost per unit of capacity decline with increasing unit size. Other efficiencies of unit size arise from manufacturers' ability to spread out the fixed-costs components of production, as well as factors such as operator labor and design costs. This alternative approach to infrastructure design offers new possibilities for reducing costs and improving service, the researchers found. The authors identify three driving forces underlying this shift. First, new computing, sensor, and communication technologies make high degrees of automation possible at a very low cost, largely eliminating the labor savings from large units. Second, mass production of many small, standardized units can achieve capital cost savings comparable to or even greater than those achievable through large unit scale. And third, small-unit scale technology provides significant flexibility—a benefit that has been largely ignored in the race toward ever-increasing scale and one which can significantly reduce both investment and operating costs.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The Struggling Sutters' Meet
by Paul on 12/06/11 at 03:26 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Scott Cruickshank of the Calgary Herald,
This season hasn't exactly been a (father-and-son) picnic.
Brandon Sutter's Carolina Hurricanes are stuck near the bottom of the National Hockey League standings. To be precise, 28th.
Dear old dad, a couple of time zones to the left, isn't faring much better.
The Calgary Flames, piloted by Brent Sutter, are listing - 13th in the Western Conference, 25th overall.
"Obviously, both of us are in a position where we're behind a little bit," Brandon said after Monday afternoon's practice at the Scotiabank Saddledome. "But there's lot of hockey left, obviously, so there's lots of time to turn it around. We are in similar positions, so it's kind of unique that we have each other to talk to about it."
Tonight - and not for the first time - Brandon faces his father in an NHL contest.

Item: Princes of the Apocalypse, Dec 11
In this part, I steer away from political special interests and hentai, thank the Gods, and move on to current activities in the Red Larch region. It seems that businesses has picked up while the crew were getting their groove on with the Bunnies at Yartar, with two other parties (NPC parties I've thrown in) answering the call to deal with the returning cultists. This will be fortunate, because there are three areas that needed to be addressed all at once:
The first part is the ever increasing petrified people that the Cult of the Black Earth is worrying Meriele Ambercrown with. A Greater Restoration can deal with each of then, no problem, but it requires a 100 GP diamond for each spell. Diamonds that aren't readably available. To get a cheaper alternative, I have good news and bad news. Good news is that there is a wizard in Beliard that has rediscovered the Stone to Flesh spell that uses only dirt and a blood sugar test of blood. Bad news is that she got herself captured, and someone has to rescue her.
The second one is the Dark Lady, a dragon worshiping drow followed by Cult of the Dragon rejects who live in Rundreth Manor. This is a variation of the quest in the book, only tweaked to suit my world. If you've read it, you know who she really is. This is where the party chose.
A Third track is related to the Dark Lady. There has been some reports of an Orb of Dragonkind somewhere in the region, an magic item that can control dragons. It needn't be said that the cults should never get their hands on the device.
The NPC parties went to Beliard and to the noted dungeon where the Orb of Dragonkind was. The party headed to Rundreth Manor to hear with the Dark Lady said. As promised I'll recap what she said:
Yes, yes, the damnable cults have tried to woo me to their causes, and I've been teaching them in blood to leave me and my subjects alone ever since. Those I allowed to leave went away disappointed. Well, disappointed once the terror wore off, that is, heh heh heh.
Now then, about why they are here, again. I've done extensive research about these parts. Underneath where we stand is the ruins of an ancient Dwarven kingdom of Besilmer. Besilmer is at once a huge elemental forge and a temple to the very elements that this world, and all who live in it, are made of. It consists of four temples dedicated to an element each; Earth, Air, Water, and Fire. If you've seen the museum in Red Larch, you'll know of a quartet of keeps that have openings to these temples. They combine in the middle further underground into what it known as the Temple of the Elements, where the main forge would be. This floor has four deeper dungeons that lead to nodes of Elemental Energy, where the dwarves draw from the Elemental Chaos.
Centuries ago, a drow named Vizeran DeVir discovered this temple dungeon and corrupted it by calling on four evil Elementals—the Four Princes of Elemental Evil, they are known—and forged four weapons with a connection to each of these Elementals. With these weapons, he was able to form the Cults of Elemental Evil, who have been spreading chaos and destruction ever since. Last year, they have resurfaced into this region with the goal of reclaiming the Temple of the Elements. They've been driven back, but they weren't defeated. Thus, they returned for Round Two.
However, not just Meriele has prepared for them. Over the winter, me and some of my associates has constructed another set of four elemental weapons, each designed to counter their respected cult. I have hidden them in the places I'll note on your map. I don't have to tell you that they are needed right now, do I?
After their visit in the Manor, they discussed what to do next. By this time, the Beliard party caught the trail of the kidnappers and lead them to Haayon's Camp, and the Orb Party have reached their destination overland. They decided to pick up the four Elemental Weapons one by one, starting with the Earth one.
At this point, Roll20 decided to be bitchy to me; which is has been all night. It seems that now that it's the holiday seasons and the busses stop running in the degenerate Safe Spaces they call colleges these days, (Ooops! Sorry, I didn't want to get politically snippy this post. My bad) it seemed that everyone with a Roll20 account decided to start playing. At the same time.
I could hear the gasping breaths of the routers from my computer.
But I did manage to get a description of what they saw, and I'm relaying a scene that will lead them to the dungeon they'll face next week:
A trail leads into an ever-narrowing defile between bluffs of wind-sculpted sandstone. Eventually the walls draw in so closely that you can reach out and touch either side, but then the narrow space opens into a hidden canyon in the heart of the hills. A sprawling monastery with dark, narrow windows and red tile rooftops stands in the middle of this natural amphitheater, ringed by sandstone cliffs all around. Ahead, a weathered flight of stone steps leads up to the ajar monastery doors. The plain doors are made of heavy timber with iron studs. A dusty footpath circles the building.
As the party approaches, the door slowly opens, revealing the halls inside, as they step up to the door, they hear an ancient and wispy voice. "You're here for the Stonespliter Axe are you not? I suppose I should lead you the way. Come along, I'm not known for my patience."
You come inside and see a desiccated man in a surprisingly new cloak, he must've bought it over the winter. "Come now, If I wanted to kill you instead of talking to you, the lot of you will be dead by now. Isn't that what liches do. Dogged if I know: I became one by accident. I'm Renwick Caradoon, by the way, I'll show you to the opening.
Renwick leads them to the alter room in the monastery, with a flight of stairs leading down. "I spent the winter closing off the staircase that would've lead you to the Temple of Earth. I finally got sick and tired of the blasted Cultists using my home as a freeway. After some time moving some caves around—took me most of the year no less, you should appreciate it—I placed the Axe in the back room of it. I've also, and you must excuse me on this, gathered enough traps and creatures to guard it. It shouldn't be anything you're not capable of handling, or at least I hope so."
He then turns and leaves. "You can use this to rest if you insist, but don't enter the eastern rooms—that's where I live—and for Gods' sake, keep the noise down. If I hear a kya from a Sacred Stone Monk one more time…."
The next Friday session will occur in that customized dungeon. How they can enter the Temple of Earth from the surface, however, is a different story.

Untangling Colin Espiner's FUD on Stuff – why the Chorus debate is so complex.
Update: As of 11:30am Stuff have now updated their page with a red "OPINION" heading at the top of their article. This was not present initially.
Journalist Colin Espiner has written an article today on Stuff discussing the current topical debate around Chorus. The issue with Chorus is a highly complex one, and in reality most people have very little understanding of the actual issues at stake here. The Stuff article really is all the proof you need that a) mainstream media really can't be trusted as an accurate source of factual information and b) the issue is a very complex one.
Rather than breaking copyright and including the whole story I'll simply correct the inaccuracies and misinformed statements in the article, which you can read in full using the link below.
Chorus has claimed it'll go broke if it can't charge as much as it does now and has asked the government to step in.
Chorus have never claimed this. I challenge Espiner to provide a source for that claim or retract it.
What is Chorus?
Chorus is a private, NZX-listed company that owns the copper lines that connect your house to the telephone exchange
There is much more to Chorus than simply copper lines. Chorus is an infrastructure provider that owns the copper cables running to your home, known as a metallic path facility (MPF) in the telco world. Chorus also own hundreds of telephone exchange buildings around New Zealand, a nationwide fibre network (some of which is shared with Telecom still), and over 4000+ fibre fed roadside cabinets used to deliver phone and broadband services across the country. Chorus don't own the actual NEC NEAX telephone exchange hardware that delivers telephone services to most customers (these are owned by Telecom), but they do own the equipment used to deliver wholesale broadband services to customers of every Internet service provider (ISP) in the country. This piece of equipment is known as an ISAM, DSLAM or ASAM.
What the heck is local loop unbundling?
Ever had a peek inside a telephone exchange? Seen all those thousands of wires in pretty colours? That's the local loop. When Telecom owned it, it could charge what it liked to provide access to internet providers. The Government legislated to put a stop to this by allowing any provider access to the copper wires.
So what's the Commerce Commission doing setting the price Chorus can charge? Good question. The problem with local loop unbundling is internet and telephone service providers complain the price they're forced to pay Chorus for access - $45 a month - is too high. The Government threatened to intervene and regulate the charges but the Commerce Commission got in first with its own determination, setting the price at $34.44.
Great, that means I'll soon get cheaper broadband? Yes, but only if providers decided to pass the cut on to customers rather than pocketing some or all of it. And assuming the determination isn't appealed by Chorus. And always assuming the Government doesn't step in and over-rule the commission.
This is plenty of confusion generated here by Espiner. What's important here is that the current Chorus debate does involve local loop unbundling pricing, it's not in the way Espiner has described.
Technically speaking the local coop is a term for the copper MPF that runs from an exchange or cabinet to your premises.
Local loop unbundling allows any ISP or telecommunications company to rent space to install their own equipment in a Chorus exchange or cabinet and use a Chorus MPF to deliver broadband and/or phone services to customers. A number of companies have chosen to install their equipment into Chorus exchange buildings and at present just under 50% of the total number of customers services by Chorus have the potential to be delivered an unbundled product. At present no 3rd party has any unbundled equipment in any of the 4000+ Chorus roadside cabinets as the business case for doing this simply doesn't stack in, in part due to equipment costs and the smaller number of customers served by a roadside cabinet, and in part by the Commerce Commission regulated cost of backhaul from the cabinet which would see any additional provider having to share backhaul costs equally with Chorus which is not viable.
The current cost of an unbundled MPF is $19.08 for an urban area and $35.20 for a non urban area. In December 2012 the Commerce Commission set in place a move to average both of these costs out and from December 2014 a price of $23.52 will apply to both urban and non urban areas.
For an ISP to deliver Internet and/or phone services over an unbundled MPF they need to install their own equipment into the exchange and pay the associated fixed prices for extras such as rent, power and backhaul.
The $45 price referred to by Espiner is the cost of an ISP delivering a wholesale Unbundled Bitstream Access (UBA) product which is currently set at $44.98 per month. This price covers the cost of the MPF and a port on a Chorus ISAM, ASAM or DSLAM that is used to deliver Internet to the premises.
An ISP has two choices to deliver Internet access to a customer. They can pay the UBA cost to Chorus for a wholesale service, or they can choose to install their own equipment into an exchange and offer an unbundled service. Providers such as Vodafone, Orcon, Callplus and Compass have chosen to install equipment in major exchanges. Most other providers (including Telecom) rely on wholesale UBA services to deliver Internet access to their customers.
The current Chorus debate revolves around the price Chorus are allowed to charge for the UBA service from December 2014. This price will consist of the cost of the MPF which will be set at $23.52 from this date, and the cost of providing the Internet access from a port on the ISAM, DSLAM or ASAM. The Commerce Commission originally believed in it's first draft document that this cost should be set at $8.93, giving a total of $32.45. On Tuesday the Commerce Commission announced a final decision and increased this cost to $34.44
A brand new Alcatel Lucent 7302 ISAM used by Chorus costs many tens of thousands of dollars. At the end of the day there are very few of us who are aware of what the true cost of providing this post actually costs.
Was it a smart idea for the Government to contract the provider of the copper wire network to also build the new fibre-optic network?
No, it wasn't.
Without providing any evidence to back such a claim it can be viewed personally as a matter of personal opinion. My personal opinion is very different - awarding Chorus the contract to deliver UFB was a very smart move.
New Zealand already has a world class broadband network (something I recently wrote about here) with over 80% of premises having access to 10Mbps+ ADSL2+ downstream speeds, and just under 50% of premises having access to VDSL2 delivering anywhere between 30Mbps and 70Mbps, but more importantly delivering up to 10Mbps upstream (ADSL2+ is only capable of delivering up to 1Mbps upstream). Telecom spent well over $1 billion deploying over 3500 fibre to the node (FTTN) roadside cabinets around the country to deliver this. This network was designed and constructed with a full fibre to the home (FTTH) network in mind, meaning that existing pits, ducting, fibre and equipment can be utilised as part of the UFB FTTH rollout and not unnecessarily replicated. Why reinvent the wheel (and pay for it) when you've already got many of the components for the wheel?
Ultimately fibre will replace copper, however unlike Australia who announced plans to decommission the copper network 18 months after fibre was deployed, no such plan was put in place here. With Australia's nationwide fibre network now possibly on hold to to a change of Government, it's likely that by 2017 Australia will have a FTTN network delivering similar capabilities as NZ's FTTN network which was finished in 2011.
Chorus isn't exactly incentivised to drop its copper network prices because it wants to sign more customers up to its more expensive fibre system. Which won't happen if "traditional" copper network broadband is priced too cheaply.
The $37.50 entry level price for a UFB plan was originally set to undercut existing UBA copper services meaning their would be an incentive to move away from copper to fibre as the price would be cheaper. The $37.50 cost also included a voice port in the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) meaning that both Internet and voice services could be delivered to a customer at a wholesale cost around $20 less than a traditional copper MPF delivering UBA and a POTS phone service from a NEAX.
I'm happy enough with my current broadband connection. Do I really need UFB anyway? Well, that's the problem. Not only is UFB extremely expensive to install (the Government has budgeted $1.5b) and time-consuming to roll out (it'll take another 10 years or so to finish) but only 75 per cent of homes will be covered by fibre in any case - and none in rural areas.
The loan to Chorus was nowhere near the true cost of the UFB rollout. That's still going to be somewhere in the vicinity of $2 - $3 billion dollars, with a true cost very difficult estimate at this time. Costs associated with the UFB rollout have escalated wildly, with costs currently running as high as $3000 per premise passed to deploy the ducting. There are then the costs of installing the fibre to the home, which in some cases is still topping $2000. The loan Chorus received from the Government is less than half of the actual cost of the UFB deployment.
The UFB rollout will be complete by 2019 and will cover around 75% of premises in the country. Many areas that did not receive fibre will receive upgraded services by way of the Rural Broadband Initiative (RBI) project delivering upgraded copper services and wireless broadband access to those where delivering fibre services is totally uneconomical.
Are there any disadvantages of going to UFB? Apart from the higher price per month, and not being in a big centre, there's likely to be higher connection fees associated with getting linked into the fibre network.
Plus, something that hasn't had much coverage - once you ditch the good old telephone lines, stuff you're used to like caller ID and using the toll provider of your choice will no longer be available. Telecom's fine print states if you're on fibre you can't use anyone else for cheap tolls.
As pointed out above the cost of fibre was set to undercut existing copper services. The argument against the Commerce Commission cutting UBA costs is that setting these below UFB costs will inhibit UFB uptake as many people will simply opt for the cheapest Internet plan available. With installs for UFB still free for most users until at least 2015, there are no "higher connection fees" associated with moving to fibre.
A user moving to fibre will find their regular phone service is replaced by a carrier grade voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) service. A provider offering UFB services has two ways of delivering phone services – using the voice port on the ONT, or by using voice ports in the ISP supplied router or residential gateway (RGW). This is the approach currently being taken by providers such as Snap and Orcon who deliver voice services using their Fritz!box and Orcon Genius gateways. The good news is that usual smartphone services like CallerID and voicemail will still continue to be available. Any such fine print about "cheap tolls" is also rather meaningless. If you don't like Telecom's products, services or price then don't sign up with them.
In the meantime, you can impress your friends with how much you now know about the current debacle.
You might try and impress your friends, but if it's using information from Epiner's story you'll probably just make a fool of yourself, especially around others who do understand the telco space, so be careful who you try and impress..

"Chorus has claimed it'll go broke if it can't charge as much as it does now and has asked the government to step in."
That was our Prime Minister, John Key, who made the claim: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11138275
Comment by juha, on 10-Nov-2013 13:39
Good piece, but I have to agree with Espiner that it wasn't a smart move to award Chorus the contract. He doesn't understand why and your arguments to the opposite are valid from a technical and deployment viewpoint but... we're now in a situation where Chorus says that because the Commerce Commission followed the law that Steven Joyce and National introduced, the UFB project is at risk because it can't borrow the money needed to complete the build.
The law was in place when Chorus was awarded the contract, and it was abundantly clear that the next round of regulatory access pricing would be worked out on the cost of the service, and not set with Telecom's retail charges as the guide.
Amy Adams said on The Nation this morning that if the Commission's determination - as it was legally bound to issue - stands as it is, there will be no UFB. It appears she's proposing to overrule the regulator and halve the cost reduction so as to give Chorus more revenue from the copper network and shore up its credit rating and borrowing ability.
This when the UFB is in its third year. Hardly a smart move by the government to sign up a fibre network builder that's so dependent on copper revenue that it can't complete the project it has agreed to finish.

Good information, So is this what John Key means by Chorus will go broke? http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=10829747I
I don't think Chorus are in any danger of going broke.
Chorus just need to get on with it and stop moaning.

I can just imagine you bashing out this angry response - given the elapsed time from receiving the paper to publication (3 hours?) that was mighty impressive - and I applaud you for doing so. I thought the article was pretty one-sided (nasty private company trying to make money, who do they think they are?) and missing the basics.
Who knew voip was so naff it couldn't do caller ID? what a swizz. We're all better off using mobiles anyway, they are the future.
JUHA: the tendering process for bidding to build the fibre network was open to anyone who wanted to pitch up and go for it. The only people who reasonably responded where the ones who COULD get organised enough to make it look like they could achieve, because they had been doing it for a while. I'm surprised Tasman/Marlborough didn't go to Network Tasman and go but I don't know the details as to why people missed out.
Last time I looked, Enable/Northpower/UFF only got paid for connecting end customers and not just building the network - you gotta feel for them given the current connection, and the absolute lack of cashflow required to make things work. Northpower can at least draw on electricity revenues... don't know about the others though...
Comment by PaulBags, on 20-Nov-2013 20:29
Customers only get guaranteed free installs up to 2015, but the network won't be rolled out fully until 2019. Did I catch that right? So those who had to wait the longest have to pay the most, in over priced copper over years and in install costs. And in part as an incentive to move from copper to ufb, which these same customers are totally unable to do. Does that really seem right to you?

OP, the blindness that God puts on people can be incredible. The verse you quote is;
Matthew 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
But right in the next chapter, this is fulfilled by Peter, James, and John when they hear the Father telling them to "hear" i.e. obey His Son Jesus. This established the Kingship of Jesus.
Matthew 17:1 ¶And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

I have read this approach, and it's wrong.
When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
The base idea still stands, has been identified by biblical scholars, and boils down to one simple idea best explained by Paul himself:
"... we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord" (1 Thes 4:15)
It was believed "the end" was coming 2000 years ago - it never happened. 2 Thes. was not written by Paul, and this has been proven. The picture was deliberately changed because people were starting to wonder WTF was going on.
This is why the line - "Where is the promise of his coming?"

Getting the award flight or hotel stay you want usually requires planning. But it also helps to get the right airline or hotel agent!
Often, you won't get the award you're after unless you have an agent who is willing to go above and beyond to help you. And you'll have better luck if you sound like you know what you're talking about, and do your research in advance.
Here are 4 tips for how to talk to airline and hotel agents! And what NOT to do! 🙂
How to Talk to Agents (4 Quick Tips)
Link: Fake It 'Til You Make It: How to Sound Like a Seasoned Air Traveler (Even If You're Not!)
1. Always, Always, ALWAYS Be Polite!
I can't emphasize this enough. Being nice makes a world of difference. And you will NOT get what you need by being rude, pushy, or yelling.
In fact, you'll likely get the exact opposite of what you want if you're unkind to an agent. Trust me, folks who are mean to airline agents often find themselves wedged into a middle seat in a non-reclining row near the back of the airplane! 🙂
Remember, you want the agent on your side. They're much more likely to help you if you're friendly, open, and have a positive attitude.
2. Be Prepared
Do your research in advance. Search for award flights and find out (as much as you can) where award seats are available before you call the airline. Tools like ExpertFlyer can be very useful!
Or check out my series on how to book flights using United Airlines and American Airlines miles, British Airways Avios points, or Starwood Preferred Guest points for ideas.
If you're looking for a specific hotel stay or type of room, be sure to check online before you call to book.
When you call an airline to book an award, you should already know dates, flight numbers, routings, and times (as much as possible!).
For example, DO say:
"Hello! I'd like to book 2 award tickets in coach on XYZ Airline flight #123 from Chicago O'Hare to Los Angeles on April 5, 2015. I see that there are available award seats online." (Even better – use the airport 3-letter code and spell it using the phonetic alphabet!)
Do NOT say:
"Hi, I'd like to use miles to fly from Chicago to Los Angeles this spring." An agent who gets a call like this knows they're in for a lot of work and questioning!
3. Hang Up, Call Again
Sometimes, despite being the politest, most well-prepared customer, you won't get extra help from an agent.
That's usually the best time to say dinner is on the table and thanks for your help!
Call back later and try again. Agents are human. They have off-days too, and some are just more likely to help than others.
And if you end up on the phone with a newly-hired agent, they might not have the tips or tricks at their disposal to help you get the award you want!
4. You're Not More Entitled Than Anyone Else
Nobody likes an obnoxious customer with an overblown sense of entitlement.
Especially if they're getting something for free (or very cheap) that others would normally pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for.
Please, don't be like this guy.
That said, you can occasionally get better hotel rooms or perks by being extra nice to hotel agents.
And in certain cities (like Las Vegas), the $20 trick has worked to get free upgrades and other benefits for many folks!
Be humble and discreet when asking for extras and you'll likely have good luck! But if it doesn't work out, at least you tried.
Bottom Line
The number 1 way to keep airline and hotel agents on your side (so they'll help you get the award flight or stay you want) is to be POLITE.
Being prepared, doing your research, and sounding like you know what you're doing are also keys to making your phone call or interaction a success.
If things aren't going your way, there's nothing wrong with hanging up and calling again. But never, ever be rude or sound entitled. That's a sure way to NOT get what you need!
Do you have any good tips or tricks when talking to airline or hotel agents? What's worked for you?

Social Media Marketing
Customers are interacting with brands through social media. If implemented correctly, SMM can bring remarkable success to your business.
Social media marketing is today's intelligent answer to effectively attract and engage healthcare consumers. Social media marketing means promoting your practice through high-quality, original content — including articles, blogs, videos, podcasts, and social media postings. At Paramount/MD, we use social marketing throughout each client's overall marketing strategy.
Social media marketing is becoming increasingly important for physicians as a way to connect with patients and referring providers. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, blogs, and other social sites can drive traffic to your website and grow your patient base, ut social media marketing can also be confusing and time-consuming. Physicians face risky interactions and possible professional violations. It can be difficult to track results, and the investment too often ends up a futile waste of time.
After all, with so many voices out there, how can you make yours rise above the chatter and actually be heard by your target audience? How can you use social media to share meaningful messages, instead of just meaningless talk? If you want to make social media marketing part of your strategy, but lack the time or resources to do so effectively, we can help. Our content-led marketing approach applies perfectly to helping providers successfully use social media.
We write custom posts, share links to your website and blog, respond to comments, and conduct social media ad campaigns. The real value we bring to providers' social presences is in creating unique, personal social media content that speaks to your audience and conveys your message. So instead of talking just to talk, you'll be communicating to someone who's listening. ??If you want to explore whether social media could benefit your practice, we'll be happy to help you evaluate the best approach.
Measuring your Social Media Marketing Return on Investment
Social media sites are powerful tools to connect with patients, build your reputation, and grow your practice. But social media marketing done in the dark is social media marketing done wrong.
You would never give a patient a treatment without knowing how to measure the effect, right? This same best practice applies to social media.
If you aren't tracking the results and don't know the return on investment, then you can't say what's working and what's not. You don't know what to adjust — how to tweak your tweets, or which types of Facebook posts get the most comments. And you have no way of measuring the impact any adjustments make. In short, you don't know whether social media is a sound investment, or a total waste of time.
In the worst of cases, your reputation can actually be damaged.
Here at Paramount/MD, we are fans of social media and use it to connect with our own clients, but we also know it isn't for everyone.
Let us help you assess whether social media has a place in your bigger-picture marketing plan. From there, we can work with you on how to best leverage it in the manner you are most comfortable with.

RBA tries to talk AUD down
The Reserve Bank of Australia officials keep trying to talk Australian dollar down – data provided by Bloomberg shows that AUD is overvalued by 28% versus USD.
The RBA downgraded its growth forecasts for the year to December 2014 (from 2.5-2.5% to 2-3%) and retained its scope to lower interest rates in its quarterly monetary policy statement today.
Central bank Assistant Governor Guy Debelle said yesterday that AUD is the most overvalued after the New Zealand dollar among major currencies. According to him, Aussie hasn't tracked fundamentals and the problem for Australia and other smaller economies is that external "financial factors" are driving up currencies.
Goldman Sachs thinks that if AUD/USD doesn't come down, the RBA will lower rates more in an effort to bring the dollar back to the "mid to low 80s" range.

Free screenwriting taster sessions for adults
A documentary produced by staff at Teesside University has been shortlisted for a major international film festival.
Novemba, which follows a team from Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust as it carries out pioneering work in a hospital in Tanzania, has been selected as part of the Global Health Film Festival in London.
Dave McPhee and Dominic Dunn from Teesside University's Aurora House Productions, spent 10 days shadowing the team, led by surgeon Mr Liam Horgan, as it carried out the latest keyhole surgery techniques at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC), Tanzania's busiest hospital.
The pair filmed more than 25 hours of footage which has been edited into the 90 minute documentary.
The documentary highlights the importance of the 17-year relationship between Northumbria Healthcare and KCMC.
Whilst in Tanzania, Dominic and Dave were able to record the first-ever day case of gallbladder surgery by keyhole techniques carried out in East Africa. Prior to the intervention by Mr Horgan and his colleagues, similar operations would have required open surgery necessitating weeks in hospital as the patient recuperated.
The Global Health Film initiative uses the power of film as a catalyst for discussion and change.
Its annual film festival, which takes place this year at the Barbican on 11 and 12 November, aims to communicate the advances and challenges in global health to the public by bringing together filmmakers, journalists, scientists, doctors, public health advocates, and those interested in film and in global health.
Dave said: "We wanted the documentary to showcase what the teams from Tanzania and Northumbria managed to achieve by working together in often challenging circumstances.
"We are absolutely delighted to have been shortlisted for this highly prestigious film festival."
Dominic added: "Being able to witness Mr Horgan and his team working alongside their counterparts at KCMC was a real privilege and this documentary is a testament to their ingenuity, skill and hard work."
Brenda Longstaff, head of international partnerships at Northumbria Healthcare, said: "Telling the story of our projects at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre in Tanzania has been a real challenge for the film makers; balancing the heart-wrenching day-to-day business of providing healthcare whilst also documenting the incredible work being undertaken by healthcare volunteers.
"Northumbria's professionals have committed time and energy to work in partnership with their Tanzanian colleagues for more than 17 years, using precious annual leave to push forward lasting improvements to healthcare services. It has been a joint effort and the benefits of this work has touched many lives across Tanzania.
"The documentary shows the grit and determination of the teams who battle against lack of resources to create new services to improve outcomes for thousands of patients.
"The film shows the harsh realities faced on a daily basis by Tanzanian patients who have to struggle to pay for healthcare services. It also shows the incredible benefits that can be achieved by people working together with one mind and one goal.
"This is a story that needs to be told as it shows the true value of international collaboration.
"We are so grateful to Dave McPhee and Dominic Dunn of Aurora House Productions at Teesside University; they have done an incredible job of capturing the essence of what we do. Sometimes it's hard viewing but that is the reality.
"What really matters is that it shows the humanity of what we do, the tears and the triumphs and the pure joy of doing something together that can really make a difference to people's lives."

There is one reliably good joke on Venmo, and it's not about Lucas anymore. Venmo is a payment sharing app that allows users to easily and directly pay their friends for anything from cabs to food to rent, but there is one catch: users are required to explain what each transaction is for. In fact, a Venmo payment can't go through without some kind explanation. This requirement results in plenty of false, funny entries. There are few low-hanging jokes more consistently amusing than claiming that pizza you split with your roommate was a vial of crack or the oral consummation of your love.
Vicemo, created by Mike Lacher and Chris Baker, is a site that tracks payments on Venmo about drugs, alcohol, and sex. "We both use Venmo, and think it's interesting how there's a social aspect to it where people state publicly why they're paying someone else," the creators told TLDR via email. "We thought it would be funny to see who's saying they're paying for drugs/sex/booze." The way it works is simple: Vicemo searches publicly available Venmo posts for terms related to drinking, drugging, and boning. It also check for certain key emoji, like the pill and the syringe. Anything PG-13 or harder shows up on the site's feed, which illustrates just how frequently supposedly illicit transactions occur -- basically once a minute, at least in the middle of a random Monday.
Vicemo is fallible -- when I first visited the site, one entry read "Bowl, coat rack, blow dryer," which isn't very salacious unless there's some kind of new, wet cocaine I don't know about -- but it's also impressively sly. It captures marijuana references like "leaves in a bowl" and the herb emoji, euphemistic phrases like "the good stuff," and street names like "China White." Still, Lacher and Baker admit they were surprised by "how many people were paying for 'kale salad with mushroom' and calling 'jack in the box' 'jack in the crack.'"
For all it's craftiness, Vicemo doesn't eliminate the need for a narcotics squads quite yet. Entries that describe criminal activities don't have to be listed as such -- police might be better served taking a hard look at payments that read "none of your business" or "Uh, school supplies? Like pencils and junk. Don't worry about it." And the ones that do seem incriminating might not be real or even mistakes, but funny-haha-jokes.
"When you're paying someone back for groceries or utilities, it's generally more fun to write 'black tar heroin,'" the creators agree. But the fact that some of these apparent admissions of guilt are really friends kidding around doesn't make publicly stating that you're sending Jimmy $20 for "meth supplies" any less compelling. The creators aren't after some larger message --"We just think it's funny," they say, and they're right, it is funny -- but reading the often clearly facetious feed does get at a human fascination: that the same mechanism that you're using to procure a sandwich (you know, exchanging money) can also be used to obtain much more tawdry, even illegal, goods and/or services. It's all just money. And finding out how other people claim to spend theirs is always interesting.
