One who has had his or her life affected by modern technology is like so many other people in the world – the advent of modern technology has made lives much more convenient than they were in the past. The many machines, appliances, gadgets and tools that exist because of modern technology are certainly plentiful in number, and one might not be able to imagine his or her life without these things. Aside from and above all these simple tools, however, is the powerful and life-changing internet, which definitely has changed the way people live today, making your life different from what it would have been without this stunning creation. One who wishes to use the powerful services that the internet has to offer, then, will benefit a lot of things when he or she subscribes for broadband internet, which is offered by reputable broadband internet service providers. Learn more about Manitoba internet providers, go here.
One who subscribes for broadband internet will definitely be able to benefit wonderful advantages, one of which is the fact that broadband internet is the fastest kind of internet service in the world. People who use the old types of internet services such as the dial up internet service might feel discouraged by how slow everything is, finding that they cannot view some kinds of web content or watch videos comfortably. On the other hand, when one switches to using broadband internet, he or she can forget about slow internet services and be able to enjoy downloading pictures, watching heavy videos, or even playing online games. You can go to this site http://qkstream.com/ for more great tips!
When a person switches to broadband internet service, he or she will also be able to benefit because this type of internet service does not do anything to disrupt the telephone line. Using the dial up system might be a terrible disadvantage to you, especially if you own a small business, as you are unable to use your telephone line at the same time you use the internet. Broadband internet services, on the other hand, allows people to use the internet at any time and still have their telephone lines free.
Last but not least, broadband internet is very beneficial to business owners because it gives them access to cheap internet calls using modern telephone systems which rely mainly on the internet. If you want to start using a modern telephone system for your business, which definitely will promote your success in the future as well as save you a lot of money, you can be sure that you will benefit when you switch to using broadband internet services. When all has been said, using broadband internet through the help of good broadband internet service providers is certainly a wonderful benefit. Take a look at this link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadband for more information.

I was on a date with a girl a really didn't know to well before we went on the date and it was going really well but I usually choose not to kiss a girl on the first date. She saw I wasn't going to make my move and then just sort of made her own move, and we ended up kissing twice. Not long ones but good ones. I don't know if its just me now, but the last couple of days she has been a little bit more distance. She might be just busy but I don't know. I was just seeing if a first date kiss doesn't mean that much to some people as it does to me.
Most Helpful Girl
I mean yeah and no..it's just a first kiss you know I thought the samething that it bwould be amazing and this and that but there are more to come.Maybe she thought you werent that intrested you know since you didn't make a move first move but go ahead and contact her.00|00|0

Hi All,
I've finally been given approval to get a storage server.
Up until now we have been using a 200Gb partition on our DC as a network storage drive. We had our students quota at 200Mb and our staff quota set at 600Mb.
I'm looking at getting a 6Tb Raid5 server running Server 2008. I'm not sure what size partitions I'm going to use yet.
Just wondering what other people set their staff and student quotas to.
3 Replies
Nov 7, 2008 at 7:46 UTC
We have different quotas for different things. Home directories we have a 1Gb for their My Documents, 500 Mb for their roaming profile. 500 Mb may not sound like a lot but when a profile is first made it takes up around 4 Mb which then gives them 490 or so for saving other things that should go into their My Documents but fail to reach it due to laziness or unwillingness to move off their desktop :). We also have a common "Share" drive were anyone can put something up there for anyone else to see and its limit is 5 Gb.
We use software called SpaceGuard to help us auto create the limits for each user.
Hard drive space is very cheap now and we have plenty of room to expand the limits that are imposed on our users that was created years ago. We do not expand them much due to the fact that our business need does not call for a great deal of personal space. So why clog up the network and slow down mission critical network applications we use because someone wants to upload their personal pictures to their "My Documents"?
Nov 7, 2008 at 7:49 UTC
For most of our file storage there is a communal pool of space for use by each department. I don't really limit it, but do watch to see how large it's getting, however on their home folders I do limit it to 500mb per user. I figure they aren't saving much there to start with.
However in your case I can see your need for each student to have their own area away from the manipulating fingers of other students. Depending on how many students there are, I'd go with about 1gb per student, 2gb teacher/staff. That shoudl be more than enough for their day to day documents, projects, pictures etc without having to delete things to make space.
Nov 10, 2008 at 7:41 UTC
Zack is correct that hard drive space is cheap, but backing it up may not be. Some questions before you give out 1 and 2GB limits:
- are you backing all this up?
- can you back all this up?
- how long will it take to back up?
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

Does CityEngine run on Windows, Mac OS X or Linux?
What are the minimum hardware requirements (RAM, CPU, graphics card ...)?
What are the recommended hardware requirements (RAM, CPU, graphics card ...)?
How much RAM does CityEngine typically need?
Does CityEngine have native 64-bit support on all operating systems?
What are the requirements for my Linux distribution?
How can I fix the error "My computer has OpenGL 1.x"?
Where can I download the latest OpenGL drivers?
CityEngine runs on all three major operating systems.
Native 64-bit and 32-bit versions are available for Windows (7/Vista/XP).
A native 64-bit version is available for Linux and Mac OS X with Intel processors (no CityEngine support for 32-bit or PowerPC Macs).
The minimum system requirements to run CityEngine are as follows:
RAM: At least 2GB memory is required.
CPU: All Intel and AMD processors are supported. On Mac OS X, an Intel "Core 2 Duo" or later is required (i.e. PowerPC and Intel "Core Duo" are not supported).
Hard disk: 700mb of free disk space is needed. After installation, the CityEngine program files take 350 MB disk space in total (without example projects).
Graphics card: CityEngine needs OpenGL® 2.x which is available with most modern graphics cards (NVidia Geforce 6xxx or later, ATI®/AMD Radeon X1600 or later, newest Intel GMA X and GMA HD graphics cards). The corresponding OpenGL® 2.x drivers can be updated with an installer from the manufacturer's homepage. We recommend a minimum of 256 MB dedicated graphics memory.
Network adapter with internet connection.
The recommended system requirements for a smooth CityEngine experience are as follows:
RAM: For working with larger datasets, a 64bit operating system with 6GB RAM or more memory is recommended.
CPU: For quick model generation, 2GHz or faster Intel/AMD processors are recommended.
Hard disk: 1-2GB of free disk space allows to securely working with all provided examples and own datasets. After installation, the CityEngine program files take 350MB disk space in total and all provided examples another 300 MB (the latter can be downloaded after installation).
Graphics card: To visualize large datasets, a recent graphics cards with OpenGL 2.x is required (NVidia® Quadro FX, Geforce 8xxx, ATI®/AMD Radeon HD 2000 or later). For a smooth workflow, we recommend 1GB dedicated graphics memory. Note that CityEngine works well with gaming- as well as CAD-cards.
Network adapter with internet connection.
CityEngine requires approx. 1GB free memory for startup. A small 3D scene with a few hundred low-resolution buildings requires 0.5 to 1GB RAM in addition (also depending on the graphics card memory). In case your operating system uses another 1GB RAM, you therefore need at least 2-3GB in total.
Therefore, we recommend to use a 64-bit operating system with 6GB RAM. With such a system you can work with larger 3D scenes and having other applications running in the background without problems.
Yes, CityEngine is a native 64-bit application.
Therefore, if needed, CityEngine could make use of all your memory (and not just 2-3GB as in 32-bit applications).
CityEngine runs on all major Linux Distributions in case the following requirements are fulfilled:
>= glibc6 / version 2.6
2.2.1 of the GTK+ widget toolkit and associated libraries (GLib, Pango)
Please make sure your graphics card is OpenGL 2.x capable and the drivers are also up to date to run the OpenGL 2.x standard. If your graphics card is not capable of OpenGL 2.x, you will have to buy a new graphics card to run the CityEngine.
OpenGL drivers are usually installed together with the rest of the graphics driver and support software (such as DirectX). Therefore, download the latest drivers from NVidia®, ATI®/AMD, or Intel for your specific graphics card on the manufacturer's homepage. Most often, it is downloadable as a simple installer file.

2009 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano Values
Ferrari knows not to mess with a good thing, so the two-door exotic sports car 2009 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is a carryover from the 2008 model. To help put all 620 hp from the 6.0L V12 to good use, Ferrari offers two transmission choices: a six-speed manual stick or an F1 sourced six-speed paddle-shifted manual. The interior is a luxurious yet purpose built blend of carbon fiber and aluminum. 2009 Ferrari 599 GTB options include an iPod integration kit, 20-in wheels and a carbon fiber package.Read more Read less
The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano remains unchanged for 2009, with the same front-mounted 6.0L V12 and 6-speed paddle-shift transmission. The exterior also remains the same, which some find classically stunning while others see a need for an update.
Formula 1-derived performance; go-fast Ferrari design; luxurious interior and advanced safety systems
When it comes to Ferrari, you get what you pay for, which in either case is a lot. The aerodynamic design, 612-hp engine and 205-mph top speed of the 599 GTB don't come cheap, nor does the customizable leather interior with carbon fiber trim. The 599 GTB Fiorano has a base price of $302,000, with options adding several thousand dollars more.

Resolution 54, which is an amendment offered to the DFL state party platform, has already had a significant impact on the DFL. In 2016, the DFL sent the signal to outstate Minnesota that they cared most about the urban and suburban parts of the state. While most people who voted for Donald Trump and GOP legislative candidates never heard of Resolution 54, it wasn't a secret to trades unions like the pipefitters and carpenters that the DFL was anti-pipeline and anti-mining.
From a political impact perspective, Resolution 54 will likely be seen, if it passes, as the final proof that the environmental activists run the DFL. It's apparent that DFL State Party Chairman Ken Martin understands that. DFL Chairman Martin understands that because he's "tasked with winning the DFL elections, which means maintaining support in rural areas while keeping funds from far-left and deep-pocketed Twin Cities donors flowing into races."
Let's be clear about this. The rift between the miners and the environmental activists is significant but it isn't the only point of separation between the environmental activists and other parts of the DFL. Resolution 54 is the high profile disagreement but it isn't the only point of disagreement. Chairman Martin must know that.
The environmental activists that dominate the metro DFL oppose pipeline construction, too. They're hostile towards logging and farming, too. It's important for the outstate DFL to remember that the metro DFL gave them the high health insurance premiums of the ACA, too.
The DFL passed the MNsure legislation in 2013. The DFL has opposed PolyMet for a decade. They opposed the Sandpiper Pipeline for 5 years. Thanks to Gov. Dayton's obstructionism and the Public Utilities Commission's meddling in the Sandpiper Pipeline project, that pipeline won't get built. Instead, the Dakota Access Pipeline will be built.
Until the DFL tells the environmental activists that they don't run the DFL, the DFL's base will continue crumbling. That's the real impact of the environmental activist wing of the DFL and Resolution 54.
The article describes DFL Chairman Martin as "a supporter of labor." Chairman Martin then said "the DFL needs to agree to disagree on mining." That didn't sit well with miners:
That's where Range DFLers disagree, saying they want the chair to take a stronger stance against the environmental caucus. The party taking a position against the livelihood of a region has become personal and too critical to compromise on.
Chairman Martin is playing a weak hand poorly. Then again, he's in a difficult position. (I'd call it a no-win situation.)
Regardless of today's vote, the DFL is in a difficult position for 2018 and beyond.

All this week, I've focused attention on the 'protesters' protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline. I've reached the point where I'm getting upset with journalists who call these thugs protesters. This article highlights why they haven't earned that title. They've earned the title of thugs.
The opening paragraph of the Daily Caller article emphatically states "The actions of the Dakota Access Pipeline protesters made law enforcement officers and their families fear for their safety, according to a North Dakota sheriff." Couple that with the information from Congressman Cramer's op-ed and it's obvious that these are professional thugs. When I wrote about Congressman Cramer's op-ed in this post, I quoted Congressman Cramer as saying "a little more than two weeks ago, during a confrontation between protesters and law enforcement, an improvised explosive device was detonated on a public bridge in southern North Dakota. That was simply the latest manifestation of the 'prayerful' and 'peaceful' protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline."
This is downright frightening:
Law enforcement officers from nine states left behind families to help cover the protests over the pipeline. To protect his officers, Laney warned them from wearing name tags. "The fear that was put into our families, our spouse and children that are now home alone because mom or dad are away over here. And to find out your address has been published and their encouraging people to go take care of business," said Laney.
Anyone that would attack the families of law enforcement officials is, in my opinion, a total dirtbag. We should treat them like they're the nastiest people on earth because they're close to the nastiest people on earth. Read this and tell me that these thugs shouldn't be classified as criminals:
"The fear that was put into our families, our spouse and children that are now home alone because mom or dad are away over here. And to find out your address has been published and their encouraging people to go take care of business," said Laney. "They won't focus on that if they have to worry about their homes. That is terrorizing and a lot of that happened. It happened to me and to my people."
Then there's this:
"You have the mental stress of here and the mental stress of worrying about your family. There are some pretty nasty things published about what they were going to do to us and you're standing on a hill, 'hey we're coming soon and you're going to die tomorrow,' I heard that many times," said Laney.
Earlier this week, I wrote that these parasites were anarchists and eco-terrorists. After reading these articles, I don't see a reason why I should change that opinion. If anything, I might've been too polite with these thugs.
This explains how the pipeline company has attempted to work with Native American tribes but were rejected:
Clearly, this isn't about drinking water or the environment. It's about shutting down a pipeline that got the right permits and that did everything possible to protect Native Americans' lifestyle. In return, Native Americans and the anarchists they're 'protesting' with set off IEDs and threatened police officers' families.
I've lost all respect for the left. They aren't interested in living by the rules. They're interested in winning whatever the cost. If that means resorting to violence, that's what they're willing to do.

Sen. Dan Sullivan's op-ed highlights many of the Democrats' anti-democratic tactics. Sen. Sullivan's op-ed frequently highlights how environmental activists use weaponized government to kill infrastructure and energy projects. For instance, environmental activists used anti-democratic tactics, noting that the "Pentagon was built in 16 months. The 1,500-mile Alaska-Canadian Highway, which passes through some of the world's most rugged terrain, took about eight months. Today, infrastructure projects across America often require several years simply to get through the federal government's pre-build permitting process."
Next, Sen. Sullivan notes that new "U.S. highway construction projects usually take between nine and 19 years from initial planning and permitting to completion of construction, according to a 2002 Government Accountability Office study. It will have taken 14 years to permit an expansion of Gross Reservoir in Colorado, and it took almost 20 years to permit the Kensington gold mine in Alaska. It took four years to construct a new runway at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, but it took 15 years to get the permits."
Those aren't the only examples Sen. Sullivan, (R-AK), cites. Here's another pair of examples:
It took Shell seven years and $7 billion to get White House permission to drill a single oil-exploration well off the coast of Alaska. Never mind that the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act requires that resources in those waters "be made available for expeditious and orderly development." This capricious permitting was part of why Shell halted its operations in Alaska, stranding enormous oil and gas resources and killing thousands of potential jobs.
The Keystone XL pipeline languished in permitting purgatory for almost the entire two terms of the Obama administration before the president finally killed it in 2015. Terry O'Sullivan, president of the Laborers' International Union of North America, called the president's actions a "cynical manipulation of the approval process." President Obama also recently halted the Dakota Access pipeline, though in September a federal court determined that the project complied with arduous permitting, legal and consultation requirements.
Gov. Dayton's first MPCA commissioner, Paul Aasen, bragged in an op-ed about litigating the Big Stone II power plant in South Dakota into quitting.
Though then-Candidate Trump didn't say this during the campaign, when he talked about America's crumbling infrastructure, he should've said that it's crumbling because environmental activists have virtually litigated these projects to death. Rarely do you hear about light rail projects coming under scrutiny. I've never heard of a wind farm getting subjected to this type of scrutiny. Why haven't we?
This is the solution:
Mr. Trump is set to reverse the Obama administration's abysmal permitting record, but Congress also has a responsibility. Last year I introduced the Regulations Endanger Democracy Act, or RED Tape Act, which would cap federal regulations with a simple one-in-one-out rule. When an agency issues a new regulation, it must repeal an old one. (Mr. Trump has suggested removing two for every one that is added.) Even though the idea has been successfully implemented in Canada and the United Kingdom, not a single Senate Democrat voted for it, and the legislation died.
Another bill I wrote would expedite federal permitting to repair or rebuild thousands of crumbling bridges across our country, but it received only three Democratic votes on the Senate floor. Once again my colleagues across the aisle prevented this reform from being implemented.
It's time to tell Democrats that we won't let them get away with these anti-progress tactics without them getting scrutinized in public. Let's instruct them that each time they use these tactics, they should expect political attacks that demand Democrats to defend their votes against streamlining government. Let's hear them explain why they're standing in the way of major infrastructure projects.
Democrats haven't lifted a finger to streamline the permitting process. Why haven't they? I think it's clear that they're sitting silent because that's what their environmental activist allies want. It's time to start doing what's right for all Americans rather than doing what's right for the special interests.

Mathew Brady recalled as photography pioneer
Updated 2:51 pm, Friday, August 9, 2013
If a photograph is worth a thousand words, certainly pioneering 19th century photographer Mathew Brady deserves a book.
Author Robert Wilson fills in the pixels in "Mathew Brady: Portraits of a Nation," a well-researched biography of the photographer widely known for his Civil War battleground photos and camera portraits of Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee.
Some gaps still exist in Brady's life history. The year of his birth is still open to question (about 1823; he died in 1896). No one knows if he had any brothers or sisters.
Wilson's book, therefore, is oriented toward Brady as photography entrepreneur, as a member of the first generation of businessmen after photography became a commercial product, first in the form of the daguerreotype.
Brady was hardly alone in the photo industry. What distinguished him from the competition, however, was his shrewd instinct to photograph celebrities and then display their photos at his studio/galleries, such as those he operated in New York City and Washington, D.C.
Entertainment Channel
Brady's photograph of Lincoln on the day of his February 1860 campaign speech at New York City's Cooper Union, for example, was so widely distributed it became a factor in Lincoln's presidential election. That's the simple way it worked: Brady made celebrities more famous; they made him famous in return. Nearly everybody was ready to pose for Brady.
Brady had partners and employed staff members, some of whom later split away to start their own companies in competition with Brady. Some of them, like Brady, also went outside their studios to photograph Civil War scenes, soldiers and top officers.
During the war, Brady again tried to differentiate himself. He often did not operate the camera shutter for many of those photos. His staff usually executed the exposures, although Brady worked to compose the photo, much as a painter does. Brady uniquely put himself in many of his Civil War field photos, standing off to the side or with his back to camera, a technique that helps draw the viewer into the scene.
More Information

Learn more about Brady, see photos
Wilson, editor of The America Scholar, deepens the book with informed insight into photography's impact on society and on the beginnings of photojournalism. Photojournalism was hit-and-miss during the Civil War.
Many opportunities, unfortunately, were missed because photographers, including Brady, had little experience in covering war and exercised poor news judgment.
Sometimes it was just bad luck. Brady was in Richmond, Va., to photograph Lee in the days after the Appomattox surrender and thus was not in Washington when Lincoln was assassinated. Camera equipment was just too bulky to transport to be at the right place at the right time, unlike today with practically everyone carrying a camera phone constantly.
Despite his successes and wide recognition, Brady died nearly broke financially. But the photographer experienced an interesting life with a front-row seat on history. His images continue to tell stories in ways words alone cannot.

Head coach Bob Huggins had a nightmare of a season for the West Virginia Mountaineers last year–one of his worst yet. Hopefully the Mountaineers can be much better in the 2013-14 college basketball season, but let's take a look at their toughest non-conference schedule game in the upcoming season.
West Virginia's toughest out-of-conference schedule game will likely be played against the Missouri Tigers.
Missouri will without a doubt be losing a bunch of talent. Its best player will no longer be on the team in Phil Pressey. With that said, Jabari Brown and Earnest Ross will be back. Brown averaged 13.7 points per game last season and Ross put up 10.3 points per game and five boards per game.
Both players will have to step up to say the least, but the Tigers really do have a talented team. They disappointed last season and could be a disappointment in the upcoming one, but there is still enough talent on this team for it to compete in the SEC.
With that said, West Virginia will also play Gonzaga and Purdue on the year. The Bulldogs could be the toughest game on the Mountaineers' schedule, but they will be losing their best player in Kelly Olynyk. Olynyk was not only the best player on the team, he was one of the best players in college hoops.
Regardless, West Virginia will be challenged in its non-conference schedule. This could be a very good thing if the team can have a huge improvement in the 2013-14 season. However, it is important to note that Huggins' team did have an overall record of 13-19 and a Big 12 record of 6-12.

Terry McAuliffe is a pro-business candidate just like Joe Isuzu.
Well there they go again with their chicago mob threats. Al Capone would be so proud of obama and his demons.
Too extreme TEA Party my raw butt! Coochie is not TEA Party and his extremism is more dim than Conservative. I do hope that he trounces the evil one... mcGLOBALCROSSING.
Bill Bolling is working with the Democrats and needs to be drummed out of the party.
Given the abuse of power by the Democrats, this is no idle threat. Watch out for IRS, NSA, EPA and SWAT teams, MSM and their magnifying glass on any little imperfection in human character, not to mention potential donations going away.
The Democrats are not willing to give up the strangle hold they have on us, forcing abortion on demand, same sex marriage, reparations, increased taxes, loss of freedom, death panels, and more...
I have not been following this closely but on the Morning Joe they showed Cuccinelli far behind McAuliffe in polls largely due to Northern VA, which is much like Maryland.
Claimed his GOP supporters are running away from him.
Young wrote that he received calls Saturday from Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.), Lt. Governor Bill Bolling (R) and Aneesh Chopra, the former U.S. chief technology officer and Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor.
Also surprising was the first public indication that Bolling, the Republican lieutenant governor who said he would not endorse Cuccinelli after being outmaneuvered by him in the primary fight, is actively pulling for McAuliffe.
Bolling is deliberately undermining the duly nominated Republican candidate for governor and nothing is being done about it?

Using your own words here..
and a 43 marauder with a few 20ish classes in XIV. I'm not really one of the 90% who purchased and quit because I didn't actually pay for the game. I was given a pass, but I was in alpha testing back in April 2010 so I had a headstart :P
THIS is the experience that you are using to pool together your "knowledge" base?

Just saying your perspective is a little skewed. You didn't cap so you never got to challenge the higher level instances or hardmodes.
Yes, that is the experience that makes up my knowledge base. I didn't give any advice on anything I didn't have experience with other than suggesting that jobs are similar to classes, which they are. The grouping experience, guildleve system, economy, PvP(or absence of), battle mechanics, or anything else that a new player might be interested in I do have experience with.

How would you even know this? Getting groups daily for every type of quest and mission.

I stopped playing XIV, but I'm sure other people on the forums will point out that it's hard to find a group for many things these days.
It wasn't that long ago that SE started the payment model for this game Louis. I do remember what it was like trying to get a group. There are also many posts in these forums and others if you'd like me to quote. Everything from people shouting for an hour+ for normal group to shouting for weeks for 'endgame' encounters.

I wouldn't recommend playing XIV just yet. It's not as good as nearly any other option you have for an MMO and isn't really expected to get that much better until early next year.
You're grasping at air Lou. If you really want I'll upload and post a link to the video I made of how unimpressive the XIV battle system is.

I don't really know what the term is for what you're doing here. An odd form of trolling maybe? You don't have to be capped in every job to offer advice on what Zoom asked for in the OP, nor what I offered up outside of that. I have experience in everything I spoke about. Did I go on and on about how many times I defeated Ifrit with ease? Did I point out the finer details of every classes imbalance at cap? No, I spoke within my knowledge.
You keep making statements or questioning me on the dumbest **** for no reason. Tangent about server transfers that isn't even in context. Swearing I have never used auto-attack for some reason when you don't have a clue. Demanding proof for things that have been talked about here and elsewhere for a while now. I made a vid of auto-attack for the lulz, but I'm not going to make an hour long video of myself trying to get a group going. For obvious reasons, I can't provide evidence. Also for obvious reasons, you shouldn't be stupid enough to ask for it.
Listening to the vocal majority of never the way to go eh? Then why is it that you're here as a representative of that making suggestions? You spent all that energy trying and failing to call me a hypocrite and then fell into the hole you dug yourself at the end? Well done.

What they don't mention is they are likely shipping from China, so they take several days. When I ordered mine year and half ago it only took three days to move but since it had a set delivery day it sat at FedEx for three days.

Is it just me or did they change something in LA X? I was looking at Sayid's customs paperwork on the plane and it clearly read his birthday of 4/25/72, members in family was 1 and flight showed Oceanic starting from the left margin on left side. Then when he was picking up his baggage his birthday wasn't even in english numbers there was nothing in the members of family box and the flight showed 815 Oceanic starting from the left margin.
Also if you look at Jin's watch on the plane the watch face (gold design and symbols) design is 180 degrees off from on the plane as from when the customs guy looks at it. I don't know much about Rolex watches but does the face around the watch move? Just asking as I don't know.

Calcutta, Feb. 10: Anil Dhirubhai Ambani spoke of his fathers special love and affection for Jyoti Basu and sought the blessings of Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee.
He also discussed at length airport modernisation with the Bengal chief minister.
After wrapping up his official engagement in the city ' signing an agreement to set up Bengals first private university ' Ambani held a 40-minute one-on-one with Bhattacharjee in the ante chamber.
The meeting put in motion efforts to find a common ground between the younger Ambanis battle against the award of modernisation contracts and the Lefts overall campaign against the process.
Ambani, whose Reliance Airport Developers lost the bids to modernise the Mumbai and Delhi airports, explained to the chief minister the unethical and improper aspects in the award of the projects. He also referred to the circumstances that led him to move court, challenging the selection process, sources said.
The chief minister did confirm that the airport modernisation ' which the Left has been describing as privatisation since the private consortium will hold the majority stake in a joint venture that will run the airports ' figured in their talks.
We did discuss at length the airports privatisation issue, but the details cannot be disclosed at this point, Bhattacharjee said.
The sources said the Reliance scion urged Bhattacharjee to engage the Centres attention to what he dubbed questionable aspects of the selection of bidders and the awarding of contracts.
After signing the memorandum of understanding to set up the information technology institution in Kalyani and promising to get it up and running in 18 months, Ambani had publicly sought Bhattacharjees blessings for the Rs 100-crore venture.
Ambani, who also fondly recalled his fathers admiration for Jyoti Basu, had tentatively scheduled meetings with the veteran CPM leader and party general secretary Prakash Karat but the engagements did not come about for want of time. However, Ambani did manage to get an opportunity to put across his view through the long interaction with Bhattacharjee.
Ambanis meeting with a CPM leader ' though Bhattacharjee met him in the capacity of chief minister ' is striking not just because it is unusual for a high-profile industrialist and an equally prominent communist to discuss an issue that is being seen as a turning point in the Centres efforts to press ahead with its economic policies.
Bhattacharjee is keen on modernising Calcutta airport, and the Centre is thinking in terms of following either the public-private partnership route or getting the Airports Authority of India involved.
It will be difficult for the CPM to publicly support Ambani because the party has opposed the primacy of the private player while Ambani has only objected to the process by which the winning bids were picked. But any sympathetic gesture from Bhattacharjee would be a bonus for Ambani.
Almost simultaneously at the politburo meeting, the Citu bloc pressed the leadership to adopt a harsher line while dealing with the Centre on airports.

The Standard of Review in WTO Law: An Analysis of Law, Legitimacy and the Distribution of Legal and Political Authority
Dispute settlement in the WTO is a sensitive issue and subject to a lively debate among trade scholars and engaged citizens. It is the purpose of this paper to focus on one particular aspect of judicial review within the WTO: the standard of review. This legal concept determines how much deference international adjudicators should give to the national fact-finding and to legal determinations. In other words, it reflects the relationship between supranational adjudication and national sovereignty. The paper will, firstly, analyse the standard of review's legal basis and the relevant case law. Next, a broad contextual discussion will explore the full significance of the standard of review within the global trading regime: it will be argued that the standard of review is an important "constitutional" feature of WTO law, framing and limiting the exercise of national sovereignty as well as judicial power. Furthermore, the standard of review plays a crucial role in resolving disputes involving sensitive non-economic (national) policies within the WTO system. Ultimately, this paper is concerned with the important issue of strengthening the legitimacy of the dispute settlement system, and a possible role for the standard of review herein. For this purpose, the author argues for a strong proceduralist bias for the standard of review, which could include a so-called "deliberation test".

HISD: A Good Call on the Westbury Tragedy
There are myriad lessons from today's tragic shooting outside Westbury High School. One of them: Parents, when you see "Houston Independent School District" on your caller ID, you may want to check your voicemail.
High schools have been calling parents and leaving automated messages for ages. But they tend to be of the "Don't forget to support our booster club" or "MADD reminds you to talk to your kids about prom" variety. Today, however, the automated message was much more ominous.
Westbury High School principal Eric Coleman used HISD's new automated phone message system today to alert parents about the shooting. The system allowed Coleman to contact 1,116 households within a few minutes. Coleman's message, verbatim:
We had a tragedy outside of Westbury High School, not on the campus, Tuesday morning. A ninth grade student was in a street off campus after school started when he was shot.
The Houston Police Department is investigating this off-campus incident, and our HISD Police Department is assisting. I wanted to call you right away and give you this information because it is important that parents be kept informed.
Sure, we've had fun with HISD in the past, but today, they got it right. This voice mail shows parents that the school is on top of things, and is much more effective than the lame day-after form letter of yore, which, as we know, usually never gets to parents anyway. — Steven Devadanam

The IBWSS was the first-ever bulk and private label wine and spirits event in California
St. Augustine, Fla., June 20, 2017 – From July 9–13, 2017, more than 1,000 chefs and culinary professionals will convene in Orlando, Florida, for five days of hands-on workshops, live demonstrations and educational seminars on the latest industry trends at Cook. Craft. Create. ACF National Convention & Show.
The two-day United States Trade Tasting event in May 2017 opened up new opportunities for wine, beer and spirits brands to enter the U.S. marketplace
Santé! Literally translated, all these toasts mean, to your health. Every language on this planet offers a similar sentiment when raising a glass. Being of sound mind and body is the definition of health, but this toast implies so much more.
If one possesses good health, one should celebrate. That's what we at Santé plan to do. Today, we're celebrating the launch of the digital reboot of the print version of Santé. Unlike other online magazines, our landscape format is designed to be read on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone, and our Santé app will give notification whenever a new issue is published. Like it's predecessor, the online version will address issues unique to the up-market restaurant trade.
Registration is now open for this two-day conference exploring the topics and issues most relevant to women in hospitality, encouraging attendees to "Join Us At The Table. Eat, Drink, & LEAD"
Beverage Trade Network, the leading online platform dedicated to connecting the global beverage industry, will host the USA Trade Tasting Conference in New York City on May 16-17, 2017.
Threesomes usually are the stuff of cross-the-line personal ads. But for Pat and Dan Conway, co-owners of the Great Lakes Brewing Cleveland, Ohio, Company (GLBC), a three-way approach into running their operation is anything but risqué—or risky. At the microbrewery and restaurant the brothers opened in 1988, business is steady and strong because the Conways never take their eyes off what's been dubbed the triple bottom line: people, planet, and profit.
When I came into this industry as an apprentice many years ago, there was little opportunity for me outside the kitchen. A chef earning a degree was unheard of, and most management trainees went to a hotel school, where they learned their techn
Beverage Trade Network Talks to Steve Dorfman, partner at Ciatti Company to share insights on factors to consider when selecting a bulk wine supply partner for your business.
Whether you are starting a new private label, trying to procure wine to meet demand or off loading excess inventory, understanding how to successfully buy and sell bulk wine is an essential part of any modern wine business.
Today's wine lovers are more informed than ever. They know what they like, they know where to get it, and how to serve it right. Restaurants have to work hard just to meet the high standards of their guests. By playing close attention to presentation, preservation, temperature, and quality of service, they can add value to the wine itself.
Leaders in the industry understand what a crucial role their wine by-the-glass program plays in building a loyal customer base. Ordering wine by-the-glass should be seamless, free of stress or intimidation, and should foster a sense of excitement.
Restaurateurs at the forefront of wine preservation technology can attest to the system's financial merits. Wine savvy guests, who are more apt to try something new, know what to look for in a strong by-the-glass program.
[Editor's Note: Enjoy our four-part series on wine preservation systems, by-the-glass programs, and how it may impact your business.]
Not so long ago, Americans purchased Chile's "fighting varietals" for everyday home consumption. But when it came to dining out, Chilean wines were thought of as déclassé—restaurant hosts wouldn't think of listing them. Today, restaurant beverage managers stock the best wines from Chile because they know that for quality and value at all wine list price points, the current crop of Chilean wines are winners. Chile's superpremium Cabernets and "super-Chilean" Bordeaux blends are world-class, the best of the whites are crisp and complex, and the country offers a splendid, one-of-a-kind wine—Carmenère. My, how times have changed.
Could it be time to consider the rebirth of the carafe?
Proud Cypriots claim that their culture is the oldest in the world, boasting archeological evidence of human existence as early as 12,000 years ago. For them the practice of sourcing products locally is not a trend but a long-standing culinary tradition.
Today with the prevalence of social media, every single guest who walks into your restaurant should be considered a restaurant critic that will judge all aspects of their experience, from the food and service to the atmosphere of the restaurant. Worrying about the specialty menu or cocktail pairings can no longer be the main concern for restaurant owners. Instead, the entire dining experience should be carefully analyzed from the moment visitors walk in the door to the second they leave.
Añejo rums are smooth and luxurious. These aged rums have more in common with Cognac and Sherry than they do with their light rum, un-aged counterparts. They are elegant, sophisticated spirits best appreciated in a brandy snifter.
Bo Peep loses them in a nursery rhyme, insomniacs count them, and renegade family members are labeled as black ones. Sheep have been a cultural icon for millennia and their lamb a mainstay of menus around the globe for even longer. Grilled loin chops and roasted racks, crusted with herbs and garlic, can be found everywhere that Mary went, but some of the less frequently used cuts are the ones that are now creating the real buzz and bleats in professional kitchens.
While Chef Bahr is known for his winning appearance on the Food Network's Chopped! as well as his command over ingredients such as oysters and duck, there is something else on the table at Restaurant Cotton and it's no novelty.
As a restaurant group whose menu mix is predominantly seafood we often find ourselves encouraging diners to indulge their natural red wine preference, despite whatever myths they may have absorbed over the years about white wine being the exclusive appropriate selection for whatever swims.
Perhaps the most universal of ingredients, the tomato crosses nearly all restaurant cuisines and concepts. Once the product of the wilds of South America, the tomato has migrated more than most people, traversing all continents, cities large and small, and the gardens of professionals and home enthusiasts. But with the rapid growth of mass production came a homogenized, thick-skinned tomato largely devoid of the original fruit's intense flavor and smooth texture. Fortunately, greater emphasis on healthful and organic foods has brought back to prominence full-flavored heirloom tomatoes.
Is your restaurant missing out on opportunities to profit from beer? Far too many operations offer a narrow range of beers that barely differ in flavor. Yet quality beer ranges as widely in style and is as food friendly as wine.
Over the course of my travels, I chat with restaurateurs and hear the latest hot industry topics. Recently, much of the talk has been about screw caps and how to deal with them. This column addresses the presentation of screw-capped wines on the list. We will also explore ways to present a screw-capped bottle of wine with as much integrity and ceremony as those closed with corks.
