HI folks,
I'm super new to all of this, i have about 300K in point with velocity which has taken a few years to rack up. Although I'm not looking at doing it now, where is the best place to purchase flight tickets with rewards points. I checked velocity and they want a lot of points for one person return eg Sydney to Japan. This is more curiosity for future plans.

Redeemed via Velocity and flying via Singapore, it should cost 118000 1 way on business.
If transferring to Krisflyer, on the same route as above, it should cost 65875 Krisflyer (88931 Velocity points) 1 way on business.
To learn how to weigh up the pros and cons, please have a read of this.
In summary, if you are point rich, go via velocity for lower surcharge/tax. If you are short of points, go via Krisflyer.
Thanks folks appreciate it.

We'd know, because we've been looking at celebrity beach wedding pics all day, and for real: the romance is at an all time high. While destination weddings are pretty common among engaged celebs, only a handful couples have locked their love down on the beach.

Max Bergen
Max is a result oriented SaaS sales and business development professional, with a blend of marketing, customer development, and leadership skills.
The search industry has overlapped with public relations particularly in the area of link building. Public relations have embraced the search industry and outreach strategies often include search engines along with building relationships and finding press opportunities for important clients.
1. What Are Editorial Opportunities Including HARO?
This is a public relations source that can quickly develop a link or two for a client. This service is helpful and offers editorial opportunities that are effective. An editorial release can be used to present new ideas that a business is developing or can be written as a human interest story. A business may be mentioned in an editorial opportunity online and may be effectively associated with current news story headlines or seasonal activity, for example.
2. How Do Event Interviews Help to Provide Public Relations Stories and Plenty of Opportunities?
Event interviews can be held at conferences and trade shows. This type of advertising offers plenty of opportunity for connecting with important speakers and those patrons who are attending a show. There seems to always be someone looking to interview attendees before, during or after a trade show or trade conference. Some event shows will help to set up press interviews for those products and services representatives who wish to interview with the local press or other press members.
3. How Do Daily Scan Recommendations Help and Using News Alerts?
Daily scans or news alerts can be used as web monitoring tools and are valuable sources for links as well. A daily scan email is often sent that can reveal information about overall industry news and information about competitors. This type of daily scanning is used to keep a client and the agency aware of what is happening in a particular industry. Creating action items are important for daily scans and may include comments about a post, a response to a company blog or twitter feeds. Daily scans may be used to drive brand awareness, create relationships with people who are critical and build important links.
4. What Are Segmented Reporter Lists or Surveys?
Public relations surveys are used with social media for sourcing stories, for example. Results of surveys or segmented reporter lists can indicate which respondents are using social networks. Reporters use social media for source stories and this association has given search marketers a window of opportunity for link building as well. Reporters may be followed on twitter and high tech reporters may have important information. Relevant reporters may include critical tools and sources that have been filtered by topic.
5. How Can PR Focused Tools Be Used?
Search industry marketers have used low cost tools and public relations tools in similar ways as their public relations counterparts. Public relations tools can help you find content by looking at sources such as Seek and Shout. This is an effective way to make connections and to have information already screened.
There are several tools that are available for those professionals within the public relations industry. Public relations focused tools can provide effective connections and filtered information. Segmented reporter lists can be used for selected topics and help to provide a window of opportunity for link building. Public relations opportunities can be developed for clients at event interviews and at trade shows. Editorials can effectively be used to provide a direct link to a buying audience. Daily scans can be used for communication with clients and to build relationships.

Helsinki-Malmi Airport is Helsinki's international general aviation airport. It serves pilot training, professional, business and recreational aviation, and offers an extensive range of aviation services from aircraft and helicopter maintenance and repairs to aircraft rental. Several pilot schools and flying clubs are located at Helsinki-Malmi, and it is among other things the home of Finland's only aviation scout troop Malmin Tuulenkävijät. The Airport is an excellent place to get to know the wonder of aviation!
The Airport is open for everyone to visit, and the busy aviation activities can be followed at close range. In March 2016, Helsinki-Malmi Airport was selected as one of the 7 Most Endangered Cultural Heritage Sites in Europe, so it's well worth getting to know.
Many kinds of activities and events are organized at the Airport, so please follow the events calendar. Sightseeing flights and (tandem) parachute jumps can be purchased at the Airport, and it has a cozy restaurant with a weekend brunch that has been ranked as one of the best in Helsinki – a table reservation is recommended! In addition there's a 5,8 km walkway around the Airport, offering a chance to get acquainted with the unique nature around the place while following the aviation activities.
The future of Helsinki-Malmi Airport is threatened by the City of Helsinki's intention to turn it into a residential area. No binding decisions have been made yet, so it's worthwhile to contact your City Councillor and tell why the Airport is important as it is. Come get acquainted with Helsinki-Malmi Airport and help keep it in aviation use!

Im not sure about OS9. But in OSX you should be able to go into your spiceworks settings under network and tell it to scan the mac with a different SSH login and password. You have to give it a valid username and password that works on the mac. Hope this helps sorry I dont really know that much about mac, a little though.
Feb 27, 2007 at 10:58 UTC
I don't know think you can access the OS9 Macs via SSH, so does that mean this software won't help me if most of my Macs are still running OS9 ?? :-(
Feb 27, 2007 at 12:31 UTC
Well I dont think it will inventory it if thats what you mean. But you can still use it to tell if the system is connected to the network. Did you try using the SSH login for the OSX system? Did it work?

Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, December 26, 2004; Page N12
Advocates and opinionators are always warning of "slippery slopes." It's a cliche but one that has a nice alliterative allure. It's too early to say how many slopes we started, or continued, slipping down in 2004, but it was definitely a slopeful year.
In the superficial world of network competition, there was some good news. So-called reality shows continued to sprout like weeds in the garden; CBS's "The Will," premiering Jan. 8, will have potential heirs competing to win a ranch in Kansas once the family patriarch dies. But on the bright side, scripted series made something of a comeback, and so did ABC by introducing two of the best new scripted shows of the year: "Desperate Housewives," darkly farcical tragic kitsch, and "Lost," a metaphor disguised as a Saturday-afternoon serial. Fox's perverse comedy "Arrested Development" was a critical success, which on Fox means it might be canceled at any moment.
The Fox News Channel, meanwhile, must be doing something right as well as something right-wing. The size of its nightly prime time audience was up an awesome 70 percent in November vs. the same month a year earlier. It was, of course, the month of the presidential election, but also of Yasser Arafat's death and tabloid headlines from the lurid murder trial of Scott Peterson. All the networks curtailed convention coverage even more than in 2000, leaving one to wonder whether maybe the conventions will be shrunk to quickie five-minute summaries in 2008.
But there were larger and more portentous slopes to worry about. Still haunted by the long twin shadows of 9/11, Americans showed increased willingness to tolerate limits placed on First Amendment freedoms, especially if they appeared even remotely related to national security. Freedom of speech and of the press seemed less absolute, more malleable; less sacred, more negotiable.
The sudden, unexpected and ridiculous baring of a nipple by pop star Janet Jackson during halftime of the Super Bowl nearly a year ago seemed not only to distract attention from the Iraq war but also to have rampant reverberation. The FCC, spewing sanctimony, used the incident as an excuse to go hunting for goblins in Television Land (Radio Land too) and slap them with bizarre and seemingly unconstitutional fines. The fact that this was an election year politicized nearly everything, and yet when the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve, it's not likely that the trend will suddenly stop or reverse itself. Until a court ruling says otherwise, the FCC will continue on its witch hunt.
It became clearer than ever in 2004 that political conservatives have in their wily way managed to get a secure grip on the electronic media, and some of their actions were blatant attempts to advance a political agenda. Among the prime offenders was the Sinclair Broadcast Group, which early in the year forbade the ABC affiliates it owns to air a special edition of the ABC News production "Nightline" on the grounds, ironically, that it was political propaganda cleverly disguised as journalism and public service.
On the broadcast, anchor Ted Koppel simply read the names of the men and women who had died, up to that point, in America's Iraq military operation while their pictures, two at a time, appeared on the screen. It was powerful Event Television, but Sinclair executives apparently felt it might weaken American resolve if people were reminded that wars have casualties.
Later in the year, prior to the reelection of George W. Bush, Sinclair was at it again. This time it wasn't banning broadcasts but promoting one -- an alleged documentary that, it became apparent, was really a free ad for Bush. Protests persuaded Sinclair to relent somewhat; instead of the "documentary" airing in a solid block, it was cut up in pieces and aired as a series of reports on Sinclair stations.
Such shenanigans made a mockery of all that fuss about the "liberal" media and their supposedly insidious influence. Conservatives used television -- and radio, where right-wingers cranked up the volume -- to popularize various specious notions, among them that anybody who criticized the American presence in Iraq was besmirching the honor of American troops stationed and fighting there -- an uphill fight on a slippery slope indeed.
Even bashing Bush might be interpreted as endangering the troops -- hogwash that nonetheless got plenty of circulation. Tireless press critics during war or peacetime, the conservatives were handed a valuable new weapon when CBS News fumbled a report detailing the president's shoddy record as a member of the National Guard back in Texas. The report was attacked virtually the moment it aired on "60 Minutes"; documents used to bolster the allegations were condemned by conservative critics as phony and forged, though no forging has yet been proved.
CBS News announced formation of an independent panel to produce a report on the report (when it's unveiled, conservatives are sure to circulate their own report on the report on the report) and, sadly, "CBS Evening News" anchor Dan Rather moved up the planned date of his retirement from the anchor chair. "NBC Nightly News" anchor Tom Brokaw's departure occurred a short time later -- with barely a peep of controversy.
It was a good year for bad news, a bad year for good news, and a bad year for the news business. But as the year wound down, the Bush administration, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and all their talkative conservative supporters got a surprise of their own. The troops themselves were heard from, and their complaint was not a lack of support from the media but rather from their own leaders. A young soldier stood up at a Rumsfeld appearance in Iraq to complain about the crucial lack of armor for Humvees and other vehicles that are repeatedly targeted by Iraqi insurgents and fanatics.
The story got big play on television, partly because the embarrassing moment was caught on videotape. Could there come a day when media power is concentrated in so few hands that a story could effectively be suppressed? Fortunately, Americans are still protected somewhat by diversity in ownership of the news media, so that even if something were banned from one group of stations, it could still be seen elsewhere. But that's another of the slippery slopes that get more slopey, if not more slippery, all the time. The Bush administration looks favorably on media consolidation, having generously increased the number of stations that one conglomerate can own. Thus the flow of information is controlled by fewer and fewer corporate empires -- run by emperors who tend to be politically like-minded.
Near year's end, billionaire conservative Rupert Murdoch was promoting cooperation between his Fox empire and the sprawling Clear Channel station group. The media conglomerates omnivorously devour one another and seem to become one great mass -- a ruling elite that can be thought of as a virtual second government. With the White House and Congress controlled by the same political forces that own the media, the possibilities for disseminating damaging or potentially unpopular truth get fewer, and the opportunities for spreading disinformation disguised as news grow.
The bigger a conglomerate, the more bottom-liney it becomes. This has always been decried, and rightly, as icy fallout from merger mania. But maybe obsession with profits is preferable to using the power of the media for furthering political goals. For the moment, there is the proverbial no relief in sight. We're in the valley of the slopes, with all signs pointing downward and seemingly no way out.

The San Joaquin County Deputy District Attorneys Association announced its endorsement of Pat Withrow for San Joaquin County sheriff on Thursday.
"Pat Withrow's plans to implement affordable modular jail beds at the county jail are exactly what we need," said Supervising Deputy District Attorney Mary Aguirre. "The current catch-and-release system we have is not working. We will never be able to reduce crime without real consequences for criminal behavior. Pat's plans offer the first step in bringing back accountability and rehabilitation to the criminal justice system in San Joaquin County."

The panting and the palaver over all things "green" has apparently died down.
Now, if we are to believe what we saw at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show, we've arrived at sober second thought. The reality of a car business is that it's ready to compete on all fronts with real new models that sell in big numbers for reasonable prices while still generating decent profits.
Whew! All that's left now for auto companies around the world is for the politicians and the financial sector to find common ground with reality and get this economy humming again. That's the big takeaway from two days milling and mingling and poking and prodding leaders of the auto industry at the last big show of 2011.
Anyone with any sense can see that this car business has resurrected itself from the mire of the 2008 financial meltdown that sent two of Detroit's auto companies into bankruptcy and left the third teetering on a knife's edge. There was a palpable optimism on the show floor in L.A., in fact. It seems borne of a conviction that after the last three years, car companies know crisis management – no, they've mastered crisis management.
General Motors, if you hadn't noticed, is making billions now. So is Ford. Chrysler is more profitable than its saviour, Fiat of Italy, and recently announced a $500-million (U.S.) upgrade to the Toledo, Ohio, plant where Jeeps are made.
Reid Bigland, the Chrysler Canada CEO who also runs the company's sales operation in the United States – and I suppose spending every other Tuesday afternoon as CEO of the Dodge brand – says it's hard to complain about working hard when the hardest-working person in the company is Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Chrysler and Fiat.
"I [recently]came back from meetings in Italy and hadn't slept in, oh, 40 hours, and I just – I didn't exactly throw up on my desk (from exhaustion) but I told my assistant I had to go home and get some sleep. But right then Sergio was on a plane to Turkey or something. He just never stops," said a palpably enthusiastic Bigland, who by the way may be the fittest executive in the car industry, period. And he's struggling to keep up with his boss.
Mark Reuss, who is head of General Motors' North American operations, stood in front of Cadillac's new XTS sedan, bursting with as much fire and energy as I've seen from any GM executive in 20 years. The discussions around GM, he said, are about products and profits and growth, not rationalizing and cost-cutting and downsizing and paying back taxpayer bailout money.
He said GM CEO Dan Akerson has made it clear that a $6.3-billion first-half profit, GM's best in at least 20 years, isn't good enough. Chief financial officer Dan Ammann, we've learned from Bloomberg, is learning how to drive race cars in between eyeballing the company's 6 per cent margins – and not liking them. Morgan Stanley Investment Banking came up with the 6 per cent using earnings before interest and taxes and they are the basis on which GM is touting its goal of beating Ford and VW's 7 per cent margins.
GM, in case you hadn't noticed, is bounding ahead with product programs like the EXT, but at the same time the company is racing to consolidate the family of engine and vehicle platforms used to make cars. Is it fun now after three brutal years? I asked Reuss.
This wry and no-nonsense engineer let himself have a thin smile before replying: "It's a lot better than before."
Better because GM has lots of new models coming and the latest ones are proving to be successful. The Chevrolet Cruze compact is a flat-out hit, for instance. Heck, GM's Chevrolet brand as a whole will sell 4.5 million vehicles globally this year. You read that right: 4.5 million.
Across the show floor, auto company after auto company had something interesting and practical and stylish and profitable to show. The fantasy of electric cars for the masses – Honda plans to sell just 1,000 Fit EVs – was pushed to the side, to a place deserving of the minuscule market share electric vehicles will own for the next two decades. Instead, car companies from Ford to Mazda and almost everyone in between talked up aerodynamic designs, lightweight materials and fuel-efficient engines with no compromises in performance.
In short, the L.A. auto show felt like, well, an auto show. Optimism and confidence seemed to have replaced the doom and gloom of the last three years all around the world. Car shoppers are going to see quite the barrage of new models coming to showrooms in the next few weeks and months. The industry seems very much to have its house in order. It's mainly profitable and lean, yet its new products are state-of-the-art technologically and wonderfully stylish.

Durable and Functional Range Of Casio Pro Trek Watches
Very few watches have been made to serve equally well on rough terrains and waters as in a trouble-free zone. Land, mountains or oceans, the Pro-TREK range from Casio comes packed with a stunning array of technology that makes you perform wonders.
Who needs the Pro-TREK most? Hikers, climbers and divers...even the hot guy on the dance floors! But then again, it's a serious, adventure-tool so you got to take it out sometimes. Don't worry, you'll grow that spirit once it's on your wrist!
Tough, durable, water resistant, functional – these are a few words that gives a faint idea on how your Pro-Trek shall be. Only after wearing it you will notice what it is in real. You into cross-country long drives? Or into flying? Or, sailing? The digital compass will set you into the right direction. Are you the weatherman? The barometer and the thermometer are your thing then, but they are also for the flyers and the sailors. That's why the altimeter – it's a box full of every function and features an outdoor adventurer might ever need. They are also a high-style statement inside the club! Not everybody dons Advanced Sensor Functions and that too without compromising attentions to details.
However, if it's not readable or comfortable to wear, it's the money going to waste. Casio understands that and makes the Pro-Trek series thoroughly optimized on readability and comfort. The Seiko Kinetic Diver's watches have larger, dot-matrix LCD that hides time display while showing sensor data. Casio's unique Smart Access system makes that a breeze.
The SA system is an electronic crown-switch that locks at pre-set points to activate the different modes of functions in the watch. Pull, Turn, Press – and you are done! It gives a one-click access to tasks like altitude adjustments or setting the world time. Even the slimmest (just 12.8 millimeters) Pro-Trek doesn't pose any bar on the crown operations while on the wrist. On top of that, there's the Multi-Mission Drive in the new PRW-s that moves the hour, minute, and second hands independently to perform a large number of actions without any complication.
The most popular of the series, the PRW-6000 has an additional feature; it is the trend alarm. Any swing in atmospheric pressure – and the alarm rings. The Tough Solar™ is bit tougher in these ones; they can charge in dimmer lights. To top that, there's atomic timekeeping (6-Band) so that your team's time-calibration doesn't miss a beat.
To turn things even sweeter, Seiko Kinetic Direct Drive Moon Phase takes away the labor of pushing buttons. Not many go cliffhanging at night but for the few who go, pressing a button at times gets very hard. Engaging an entire hand just to see time or other readings is primitive; now you just tilt your wrist a bit and there it glows! Don't worry about tearing it to pieces; the carbon-fiber-inserts impart a high-strength durability to it.
Anything that got left out? Yes; the reduction in the magnetic sensor size; now it's just 5% of its previous size but offers more performance. Continuous compass measurement to 60 seconds makes the new Pro-Trek watches more efficient for navigational purposes while climbers and flyers shall detect one second intervals betwen readings instead of the previous 5.
Analog feel; digital spirit. That's all!

"Thrilled with the final product. I included a photo on the back and the colors are stunning. I had questions about adding the photo and sales support was immediate and through. I love the details on the front, the quality is excellent, and arrived on time. Color has more green in it than I thought but still thrilled with the invite."
"My order for rehearsal dinner invitations arrived ahead of schedule. Very happy with the quality and texture of the paper. This is my first experience with Wedding Paper Divas and I would recommend this company to anyone."

"As always the quality of this rehearsal dinner invite is great. It is the perfect size and design for the occasion and everyone that received it, loved it! Aside from adding my own event details, I didn't change a thing which made the process very easy."
"We wanted a different look to our rehearsal dinner invitations. Our wedding invites conveyed a vintage fall theme so we went with something more classic/elegant for our rehearsal dinner. The design and paper quality was what we have come to expect from Wedding Paper Divas. Seamless process!"

BASINGSTOKE Town played play-off hopefuls Banbury United off the park on Tuesday night in Oxfordshire, despite just winning 1-0.
The Dragons turned in their best performance on the road, and a superb free-kick which was worthy of winning any game from Nana Owusu earned them the three points.
Town manager Terry Brown was without the suspended Matt Partridge and injured Ashleigh Artwell, as they faced a side sixth in the table and who had beat them on the opening day of the season.
The visitors impressed from the start and Charlie Kennedy was denied by the post in the opening 15 minutes.
Dan Collier was Town's midfield general with George Bennett and Marcus Johnson-Schuster playing excellent as wing back, while Owusu was unplayable.
The home side took until just before the break to really test Alex Tokarczyk, as he forced into a good save to deny Conor McDonagh.
The Dragons took the lead after 51 minutes, as Owusu was fouled outside the box, but managed to get the ball for Arron Jarvis, who again was outstanding as the lone striker.
The Town forward was felled in the box, by sub George Nash and the referee pointed to the spot for a penalty.
However, after consulting with his assistant, who had flagged for Jarvis being offside, So the visitors were awarded a free-kick which Owusu dispatched into the top corner, leaving Banbury goalie Jack Harding no chance.
Banbury pressed for a equaliser, but found it hard to carve any chances and when they did Tokarczyk made a couple of good saves to deny Luke Carnell and Scott Humphreys.
With five minutes left, Will Shaw came on for his first team debut as captain David Ray was forced off due to injury as Town conclude a fine performance with a victory.
The three points moved them 16 points clear of the relegation zone, and on Saturday they have the chance to move up the table from 15th, when they face visitors Weymouth.

– TNA posted this video of AJ Styles discussing TNA, Dixie Carter and Magnus before his last match:
– TNA officials have been in talks with "The American Wolves" Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards for several weeks now, likely since the duo got word that WWE wouldn't be signing them.
It's expected they will be debuting for TNA soon as they have canceled some upcoming independent wrestling dates. It's possible they could appear on Thursday's live Impact Wrestling from Huntsville, Alabama.

I could use some advice on my chunky ganache.... I made it last night and let it sit at room temp overnight and now its chunky! Can I just warm it back up, cool it and then whip it up? I didn't want to use whipped ganache but at this point I think its my only option.
Also if I use whipped ganache can I cover it in fondant and put it in the fridge? Or can I just leave it out overnight? The cake isn't due until 5:30pm tomorrow so I am a little worried about leaving it out.
Any advice you can give me is much appreciated and would really help to keep me from pulling my hair out and throwing in the towel on my cake decorating days
It is probably because your chocolate didn't get completely melted. This has happened to me before. Yes, you can melt it back down again and get it smooth, then let it set up again. good luck!
Your chocolate wasn't completely melted. Just heat it back up-slowly- and you will be fine. Whipped ganache holds up fine under fondant. And no problem leaving ganache out over night.
Thank you! I was finally able to get it to set up. I think I am finally on the ganache bandwagon!
Melt half of it. Put the other half in your food processor with the steel blade. Start the motor and pour in the melted half slowly. You will be able to ice immediately.

The 4 Biggest Killers in Human History (That You Probably Never Thought Of)
Yes, there are things you never knew killed millions of people, unless you are both extremely morbid and extremely studious. Thanks to the teachings of history, we are quite familiar with some of the biggest death blows to the human race. Some of the greatest and most well-known pandemics include The Black Plague, heart disease, and listening to country music while driving drunk. But, some of the most devastating killers throughout human history are due to lesser-known reasons, reasons like:
1. Mosquitos
Mosquitos are one of the fortunate creatures that evolution has graced with an enormous straw growing out of its snout. We ponder this every time we have to stand forever at the back of a line to get a drink at the bar. However, that's where mosquitos' evolutionary usefulness stops, in our opinion.
Mosquitos exist in almost every country on Earth. They even exist in deep space, as evidenced by this weird ass alien mosquito movie.
They make a more annoying sound than a Real Housewife, and they suck almost as much blood.
They are also the leading killers of humans of all time. Some estimates place mosquitos as responsible for half of all human deaths in history. They are nature's disease airmail service that nobody wants. Some of the diseases they spread include: Malaria, West Nile Virus, Yellow Fever, and general scratchiness. The mosquito situation is particularly horrific in Africa, where citizens are bitten by dozens of disease-carrying mosquitos every day. Add in the fact that the mosquito can quickly develop evolutionary resistances to man-made pesticides, and it's easy to see why humankind must put aside their differences and attack this common enemy.
2. Spanish Flu of 1918
Although the Black Death is frequently seen as the all time pandemic champion, we would award the crown to the Spanish Flu. While the Black Plague killed between 75 and 200 million in the 14th Century, the Spanish Flu killed between 50 and 130 million in one year. More than one-in-four people were infected. Keep in mind that the Spanish Flu occurred less than a century ago in the times of soap and scientific enlightenment, whereas the Black Plague took place in a time when people thought paying extra taxes and acting like a tree might ward off infection.
Unlike most pandemics, the Spanish Flu was known for taking the lives of the young and healthy. Over half of the deaths were from people between 20 and 40 years of age. Like World War I wasn't doing enough of that, already.
3. African Sleeping Sickness
African Sleeping Sickness has been pushing humans to evolve for tens of thousands of years, in the same sense that a serial stabber pushes humans to evolve knife-resistant skin. The tsetse fly carries this stubborn parasite to humans. Killing between 10,000-50,000 every year, there are occasional epidemics every few decades. In 1901, an epidemic took the lives of 250,000 people in Uganda. Recent analysis of the parasite indicate it has 800 genes that work together to evade detection by immune systems.
The term "sleeping sickness" seems to imply that sufferers get some sort of relief in the form of slumber. In fact, this is not true, the "sleeping sickness" refers to the late-stage symptoms of daytime sleep cycles followed by nighttime insomnia. So sufferers get to stay up all night with their fever, joint pains, swollen lymph nodes, delirium, and just general icky-ness. We hate you, tsetse fly, and stronly suspect you are part of some secret anti-human coalition with the mosquito, because you are both jerks.
4. Diarrhea
The humor of choice for children of developed nations is also a top killer of kids in third-world countries. In fact, diarrhea kills 1.5 million children each year. By many estimates it kills twice as many people annually as A.I.D.S.
The science behind the mortality of Diarrhea is simple: Your intestines lose their ability to retain water. It exits you in rapid fashion, you dehydrate. When we say "you" we of course mean the "royal you" meaning "people like you who drink way too much." So, the next time some kid has an accident at school, maybe his classmates won't be cruel to them. Maybe they will give them fluids and zinc tablets, rather than bestow upon them some horrible nickname, like "chocolate waterfall." We hated that nickname.Speak Your MindTell us what you're thinking... and oh, if you want a pic to show with your comment, go get a gravatar!

Deadpool For a Nobel Peace Prize
Deadpool has inspired more than few amusing Change.org petitions…
While Ryan Reynolds continues to bask in the red afterglow of donning the iconic Deadpool suit (and forgoing the avocado-on-avocado mess of a face concealed beneath to return to his GQ looks) it is clear that Change.org will continue to attract supporters to the assortment of random Deadpool petitions that have cropped up on the site in recent months. The film continues to do very well at the box office, redeeming the actor behind our homegrown "merc with a mouth" for the not-so-great time he donned a "green animated suit" in another flick where Reynolds was cast as a very different kind of hero…
As Deadpool continues to take on a life of his own outside of the movie, to honour the awesomeness of his character, the patriotism we can all enjoy as a celebrated Canadian actor has now truly defined the role (really, it was a near-perfect casting), and the amazing absurdity of the entire Deadpool mythos, here is a handful of amusing petitions you can find on Change.org right now, fourth wall – be damned!
Petition to have Deadpool host SNL

Petition to Regina city council to erect a Deadpool statue in Saskatchewan

And then there was the petition that went beyond rejecting the PG13 rating to ask for an X – because we all want to pay extra to see it on pay per view right?

Last Sunday we saw the 7th episode of Koffee with Karan, arguably India's best celebrity chat show. Helmed by Karan Johar, this episode of the 4th season featured two of the finest actors of the Indian film fraternity; both of whom have proved their mettle in non-formulaic, 'hat ke' films – Farhan Akhtar and Vidya Balan.
Some candid and amusing repartee with the highly talented individuals made this a most watchable edition of the show. The two actors have recently worked together in the soon to be released Shaadi ke Side Effects, and were very much at ease with each other, laughing and kidding around with each other as well as their host. There were some silly double entendres but they were just funny and not offensive at all.
Koffee with Karan – Highlights of the Farhan Akhtar-Vidya Balan Show
- After he fulsomely complimented his guest on his film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Karan Johar proceeded to ask Farhan if he was ready to win all the awards. In response the actor/director/singer quipped that he was ready but wasn't so sure that people were ready to give him the awards
- When asked about how he handled female attention, Farhan responded that he had always been surrounded by and doted upon by women all his life
- It is also nice to be hit upon by men
- Vidya had been on the show before and claimed to be petrified
- Vidya played a little sting operation on Farhan on the sets of Shaadi ke Side Effects
- According to Karan there's no way either of his two guest could ever be hamming
- According to Karan, Vidya's husband is a substitute for her love for Shah Rukh Khan
- Farhan feels Sonam and he were promoting two different films when they were promoting Bhaag Milkha – She once asked him why his tie was not ironed
- Vidya is now amused by the criticism her dressing attracted though she wasn't earlier
- She is the opposite of Sonam
- Farhan turned the tables on his host and posed him a few fashion questions
- Vidya was happier after she made peace with her body
- For Farhan with Vidya it's like hanging out with one of the boys
- Even after marriage, Vidya is flirting all the time
- Farhan has an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
- For Vidya and her husband it is an obsession with how books are arranged
- Ranveer Singh is the only actor who has more hair on his head than Farhan
- The worst criticism Farhan ever had about his singing was "do you mind just clearing your throat before singing?"
- If Sonam was a brand, her tagline according to Farhan would be "Now with unlimited talk time"
- If Aamir was a brand, his tagline according to Farhan would be "Why so serious?"
- Farhan's rapid fire was a vast improvement over last time
- To people who make digs about Vidya's fashion sense she says: "Thank God I have a life!"
- No other actress but Vidya could have pulled off Dirty Picture
- According to Vidya the most ridiculous lyrics are mera pyar pyar pyar …hookah bar
- Farhan Akhtar won the Rapid fire round and he liked the feeling of winning it
- Vidya was heartbroken at losing the hamper
- A special 5 point question at the end of the film trivia quiz was name the doggie in Hum Aapke Hai Kaun
- Farhan won the quiz as well (Farhan is happy to get the money off his back)
You can watch the entire episode above. It's a funny, entertaining episode with highly likeable guests, so I do recommend it. In case you're wondering who's going to be on next, it will be Akshay Kumar on the 19th of January 2014. Stay tuned.

Without seeing your JSP file its hard to say, but at first glance I would guess that you are using a java.sql.Connection object that you are keeping in the session. After long periods of inactivity the problems start occurring because the connection has been closed. The real errors about this are probably going to STDOUT or STDERR - the window that you started Tomcat from and could probably give you a better idea of the exact nature and location of your problem.

Entourage state of the art GPS location and tracking products
: 24 August, 2009
(New Product)
The latest line of GPS tracking products from Escort include a portable unit for flexible use or a custom installed version for permanent use for vehicle location and tracking capabilities
ESCORT Radar, maker of the world's best radar, laser and camera detectors, has announced the continued expansion of its product line with the release of Entourage. 'The Entourage line of products provide state of the art GPS tracking capabilities and will allow our customers to keep track of the things that matter most to them' said Tim Coomer, ESCORT's Vice President of Marketing and Product Development. The product line is comprised of two types of products; portable and custom installed.
ESCORT Entourage PS - The Entourage PS (portable solution) GPS model is a compact hand-held device which can be placed in a car, motorcycle, piece of luggage, golf bag or in a child's backpack for example. The device incorporates an internal rechargeable battery, providing up to seven days of coverage, and is portable enough to go almost anywhere. Tamper-sensing and GPS based perimeter monitoring are also included. The Entourage PS comes complete with an AC charger and 12-volt adapter.
ESCORT Entourage CIS - The Entourage CIS (custom installed solution) GPS model is designed to be permanently installed in a vehicle and offers additional features such as always-on cellular communication, tamper-sensing capability and automated arming and disarming with its wireless key fob. Optional vehicle monitoring and recovery services are also available.
Both GPS models can be tracked through an interactive web-based interface which provides real time location, heading, speed and cellular signal strength for each unit.
Multiple devices can be set up under one account and customers can review the history of their device providing value for drivers who want to review a recent trip or, the concerned parent who wants to monitor their teenage drivers. A subscription is required for web-based services with plans starting as low as $14.95 per month.
'With Entourage, our customers will have a low cost, easy to use system for locating and keeping track of the things that are important to them,' said John Larson, President and CEO of ESCORT. 'We are extremely excited about this line of products and our ability to serve customers beyond our industry-leading radar, laser and camera detection products,' he added.
ESCORT developed the world's first internet ready, GPS based radar detectors--the PASSPORT 9500ix windshield mount model and the PASSPORT 9500ci custom-installed version. Both models established a new technology standard by introducing patented features including AutoLearn artificial intelligence. AutoLearn uses GPS technology to automatically eliminate false alerts by indexing their exact location and frequency. 'This artificial intelligence makes the PASSPORT 9500 series radar detectors the most accurate and intelligent detectors on the road. You drive, they learn. End of story,' said Coomer.
Both the PASSPORT 9500ix and the 9500ci radar detectors address the single fastest growing threat drivers face today--the increasing numbers of fixed position speed and red light cameras. Both detectors meet this ever-increasing risk by incorporating the ESCORT Defender database, which identifies these threats well in advance. In addition, the Defender database includes the top speed traps throughout North America. The Defender database can be easily updated through the detector's USB-internet ready connector.

The 2008 Dodge Ram HD is a powerhouse with either the HEMI or the Cummins diesel, but choose the latter for the ultimate in towing capability and fuel economy.
The standard engine is the 5.7-liter HEMI that makes "345 hp and 371 lb-ft of torque," notes Edmunds. They think the V-8 is "a competent all-around engine, but for serious towing and hauling (plus decent fuel economy), the 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel is essential." The Cummins is the first truck-market diesel engine to meet the stringent 50-state federal emissions requirements. It ups the Dodge Ram HD's towing and hauling potential: "Packing 350 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, the big six-cylinder diesel helps this Ram tow up to 13,350 pounds," according to Edmunds. However, Kelley Blue Book claims the Dodge Ram HD 2008 with the Cummins can tow "up to 16,500 pounds." In their test of a 2500 Laramie Quad Cab 4x4, the truck accelerated to 60 mph in "about 7 seconds." J.D. Power reports the "diesel engine also features a life-to-major-overhaul interval of 350,000 miles and standard-duty oil-change intervals of 7500 miles." There are some trade-offs mentioned in various reviews read by TheCarConnection.com about the diesel in the 2008 Dodge Ram HD. Kelley Blue Book comments "the Cummins...can't quite match the HEMI's off-the-line snap," and Car and Driver reminds us, "These are work trucks, so unless you plan major towing go with something more amenable."
Dodge Ram HDs are available with two transmissions per engine. "For the V8, a six-speed manual is standard and a five-speed automatic is optional," notes Edmunds; they also say that the "mighty diesel engine can be paired to [a] six-speed manual or automatic transmission." Kelley Blue Book opines of the Dodge Ram HD 2008 diesel: "The six-speed automatic transmission is an equally laudable and smooth operator. Like the five-speed automatic that backs the HEMI engine, it offers a convenient Tow/Haul-mode switch on the shift lever." Motor Trend contends the transmission "is smart enough to know how to adjust to empty versus loaded torque loads...[and] it also has a thumb-controller switch that allows the driver to select or lock out specific gears without the shifter's need to be in manual mode." Kelley Blue Book adds "the transition from high to low range on 4x4 SLT and Laramie models is now done electrically rather than via a manual lever, as it is on SL and SXT models."
As a full-size truck, the 2008 Dodge Ram HD is exempt from federal fuel regulations, so there is no official test data on fuel economy. Dodge doesn't even provide this information on its Web site. However, the fuel tank capacities of 34 and 35 gallons (depending on bed length) should provide a subtle guideline to fuel economy: not much.
Underpinning the Dodge Ram HD is a stout suspension and frame. "The four-wheel-drive 2500 has a solid front axle and recirculating-ball steering setup, while the two-wheel-drive model gets an independent front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering," according to Edmunds, who adds, "Although it's built to take on the most demanding tasks, the 2008 Dodge Ram [HD] is still a surprisingly comfortable truck for daily use." Kelley Blue Book likes the Dodge Ram HD 2008's "stiff frame and decently sorted suspension," though cautions "while the ride on certain road surfaces can get slightly choppy (particularly in an unladen 4x4 model), adding passengers or payload settles things down nicely." Edmunds describes hard braking in the Dodge Ram HD as "uneventful if not effortless...braking from 60 mph to zero consumes a fairly long 166 feet, some 17 feet longer than the last heavy-duty Ram we tested." Unique among its competitors, Dodge equips the Cummins turbodiesel with an exhaust brake--useful when hauling down grades. "Properly equipped," writes J.D. Power, "a Ram 2500 can tote up to 3230 pounds of payload and tow up to 13,700 pounds, while a Ram 3500 can haul up to 5110 pounds of payload and tow up to 16,850 pounds."

Deluxe Natural kitchen
Taking inspiration from the natural world while still feeling very 'now', this kitchen is perfect for those that love the convenience of modern living but appreciate nature too. Although the cabinetry is contemporary, the soft cashmere shading gives the design a traditional touch that works beautifully with the solid oak work surfaces. Simply-styled appliances combined with bevel-edged tiles add a pleasingly retro feel to the look while pops of green and potted herbs bring the freshness of the outdoors inside.

Tim Schmidt CEO
Award-Winning Health Care CEO Tim Schmidt
A former lieutenant in the Supply Corps of the United States Navy, Tim Schmidt went on to hold top-level administrative positions with Scenic Mountain Medical Center in Big Spring, Texas; Heartland Regional Medical Center in Marion, Illinois; and Laredo Medical Center in Laredo, Texas. He most recently served as a Division 2 Project CEO with Community Health Systems.
Tim Schmidt's commitment to professional excellence dates back to his days in the Navy, when he was honored to receive a 1985 Navy Achievement Medal. Over the course of his 25 years in the health care industry, he won several Outstanding Achievement awards for Growth in Admissions, Growth in Surgeries, 2006 CHS CEO of the Year Award, and a number of Excellence in Leadership Awards.
A Brief History of Texas A&M Football
Tim Schmidt recently accepted the position of vice president of healthcare operations at Medstar. He earlier served as CEO of the Laredo Medical Center in Laredo, Texas.
The history of the Texas A&M football program can be traced back to 1894. In 1917, three years after a ranking system was introduced into college football, the team, affectionately nicknamed the Aggies, earned its first first-place finish to a season. The team again finished first in 1919 and 1921, the same year the team won its first postseason bowl game at the Dixie Classic.
Texas A&M began a highly successful run in 1985, finishing in the top three in each of its 13 eligible seasons until 1999, including eight finishes at number one. The team won seven times at the Cotton Bowl during this span while adding five additional bowl game wins, including the 1998 Sugar Bowl and the 1999 Alamo Bowl. As recently as 2012, the Aggies ended the year ranked in the top five. The 2014 team finished 8-5, good for sixth place in the West, and went on to win the Liberty Bowl.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — After another of those spring training workouts that are increasingly tough to get through, Chipper Jones pulls off his jersey to reveal an undershirt that says, "Slow it down, boys."
Sounds about right for a guy approaching his 40th birthday.
Even with a boyish nickname and a still-youthful-like passion for the game, there's no getting around the fact that in less than two months – April 24, to be exact, a few games into his 19th season with the Atlanta Braves – Jones will reach the age that is like 65 to everyone else.
Retirement will be staring him in the face.
"Never in my mid-20s would I have given myself a snowball's chance to be in a camp and have a job at 40 years old," Jones said. "But I like to think I've kept myself in pretty good shape over the years. The skills are still there to go out and get it done. I don't know for how much longer, but we're gonna ride it as long as we can."
Jones doesn't need to look at his birth certificate to remember his age. His body tells him every day.
"There's not a day I wake up that something doesn't hurt," Jones said. "There's not a day goes by that I don't take some kind of pill or injection, whether it's an anti-inflammatory or a pain killer or cortisone, whatever it may be, to help me go out there on the field."
He's not ready to discuss the r-word, which he came so close to carrying out two seasons ago. He's got two years left on his contract, and the plan for now is to play it out at third base.
"This could very well be my last spring," Jones said. "So I'm cherishing every chance I get down here, soaking it all up. The baseball clubhouse, the baseball fraternity, is a unique one. It's been my second home, my second family for 23 years now (since he was drafted No. 1 by the Braves out of high school). When I do finally to decide hang it up, I'm gonna miss that camaraderie."
He's already plotted how he wants to go out. Or, more specifically, how he doesn't want to go out. He was there for the ugly departures of longtime Braves stars Tom Glavine and John Smoltz.
Jones had frank talks with general manager Frank Wren over the winter, wanting to make sure that he was still a useful member of the team rather than an over-the-hill player trying to hang on.
"I've always said as long as I'm productive, I would play. I still feel like I am," Jones said. "When the day comes (that he's not), hopefully I will realize it before they do. The last thing I want is what happened to Glav and Smoltzie, where it becomes a P.R. thing. I'd much rather bow out gracefully."
Former Braves manager Bobby Cox stopped by to watch the Braves go through their drills. He marveled that someone about to turn 40 can still play a physically demanding position.
"To be playing a corner, it's not easy to still be able to hit and do everything else," Cox said. "But Chipper has always been in unbelievable shape, and he's got that baseball attitude."
The knock against Jones, the one that could keep him out of the Hall of Fame, is that he's injury prone. If he hadn't been sidelined so much, he is confident he would've reached the benchmarks that pretty much ensure entry into the Hall of Fame: 500 homers and 3,000 hits. As it is, he'll likely come up just short, heading into this season with 454 homers and 2,615 hits. Still, he's won a World Series, an MVP award and a batting crown.
"I feel like I probably would've gotten those numbers had (the injuries) not happened," Jones said. "But I've done all I can do. I'll walk away with my head held high, proud of the career I had, regardless of what other people think."
