Wi-Fi Security Testing
Wireless (Wi-Fi) Security Testing
Wi-Fi Security testing is a method of assessing the security and reliability of your wireless network infrastructure to identify any security issues that could be used to compromise your organisations wireless network.
Why do you need a Wi-Fi security test?
Each test is performed to identify threats that are exposed to a Wi-Fi network and therefore ensure these risks are mitigated. An unauthorised intrusion into an unsecured Wi-Fi network could allow your network to be compromised which could affect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of sensitive data. Any companies or organisations that have a wireless access network on their premises should have regular Wi-Fi security testing to ensure vulnerabilities are identified and appropriately resolved.
How can we help you?
Once the full scope of the project has been agreed, a Wi-Fi security test is scheduled. ProCheckUp will then send a consultant to the customer's site(s) where they can have access to the Wi-Fi networks.
A number of attacks are launched to test the susceptibility of the Wi-Fi network to external influence. These include Server-side attacks such as WEP/WPA key cracking and client-side attacks such as evil-twin attacks that trick employees to associate to a rogue Wi-Fi access point. To identify the threats and enable you to have confidence in your wireless network security controls we will perform (but not limited to):
- Encryption review
- Wi-Fi Signal Survey
- Detection of rogue access points
- Access Control review
- P2P attacks
- AP configuration
Working with a personal account manager and dedicated member of the technical team, ProCheckUp will support and guide your company from the initial enquiry stage through to defining the necessary remedial action. You can read more about our processes here.
Contact us to discuss your company's Wi-Fi security testing needs.

Posted by Viewer911 (as ),
I had an operation for a knee replacement in early December and had a very positive experience. I was very impressed with the efficiency of the people there. My only minor complaint is that the food was almost cold and could have been a bit warmer. Other than that everything was great.

Users of social networks like Facebook are giving the companies the right to access their personal information by downloading the apps on these sites. While downloading the apps, users are providing the developers with their personal information.
Shockingly, 100 of the famous Facebook apps have revealed that they seek the email address, sexual preference and currently location along with the other details. This is not only with the application users but also their Facebook friends.
A specific Yahoo service that is powered by Facebook requests the access to the religious and political views of the users. This is the condition to use the service. Even the popular Skype service seeks the Facebook photos and the birthdays of the users and and of their friends.
Why personal info is needed?
Facebook offers a free service and users pay for these by giving their personal details about their activities, interests, friends and life. Facebook uses these information to attract the app makers, advertisers and for other business opportunities.

Referring to a migraine as a headache is like saying the Grand Canyon is a large hole. While a run-of-the-mill headache can make your head spin, migraines can make you feel like Linda Blair in The Exorcist. Besides intense head pain, there's often nausea and vomiting as well.
The onset of a migraine is not like the creeping-in head pain of the "classic" tension headache. About 20 minutes before the war between your ears, a migraine can cause flashes of light, blind spots, dazzling zigzag lines, dizziness, and numbness on one side of the body. You may feel thirsty or crave sweets, feel elated and energetic or drowsy and depressed. There's also hypersentivity to light and sound.
You may unsubscribe at any time.
Heredity plays a role, and women are twice as likely as men to suffer migraines. These mega-headaches usually start around puberty and tend to dwindle after age 45. (But for some reason, they rarely occur during pregnancy.) Although the exact cause of migraines is unknown, evidence suggests that these one-sided headaches (they don't affect the entire skull) have something to do with the blood vessels in your head. Triggers also include certain foods, stress, light, and even perfumes or other odors.
Talk to your doctor about prescription drugs for these hard-to-handle headaches, and look into these no-nonsense techniques that may also offer relief.
Say no to NutraSweet. The popular artificial sweetener isn't so sweet to migraineurs: Aspartame (sold commercially as NutraSweet) can trigger migraines or make them worse. "Various studies have implicated NutraSweet but not other artificial sweeteners," says Fred Sheftell, MD, director of the New England Center for Headache in Stanford, Connecticut, and coauthor of Headache Relief. "There's no question, medically, that many people prone to migraines or headaches will do better if they eliminate NutraSweet."
Sleep it off. "Generally, the best treatment for a migraine is to sleep," says Glen Solomon, MD, a headache specialist at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland and associate professor of medicine at Ohio State University in Columbus. "Relief comes from falling asleep—even if it's for a short time." Solomon warns, however, that napping can trigger other types of headaches. So if you're susceptible to other headaches besides migraines, the best policy is to get on a regular sleeping schedule rather than taking catnaps.
Take time to relax—literally. "Most migraines occur on weekends or while people are on vacation, and I think it may have to do with a reduction of stress," says Solomon. "When the body's stressed, it produces adrenaline—and adrenaline protects blood vessels against migraines. When you relax and don't have this adrenaline protection, you're more prone to an attack. You need to ease into relaxation, make it more of a gradual transition than just going full blast until 5:00 P.M. Friday and then suddenly stopping everything. I suggest practicing some sort of relaxation technique to slowly unwind—exercise, listening to music, whatever helps you relax—rather than just leaving work Friday afternoon and hitting the bar."[pagebreak]
Munch on magnesium. Research by K. Michael Welch, MD, a neurologist at Henry Ford Health Sciences Center in Detroit, suggests that most migraine sufferers may have a shortage of magnesium in their brains. "Magnesium is a muscle relaxer, and it can help those with migraines," explains Allan Magaziner, DO, a Cherry Hill, New Jersey, family practitioner who specializes in nutritional therapy and preventive medicine. Good sources of this mineral include dark green, leafy vegetables, fruits, and nuts.
Watch what you eat. About 10 to 15 percent of people plagued by migraines are food-sensitive, which means that consuming some foods or drinks can trigger a severe migraine, says Solomon. "There are certain foods that we know are triggers—chocolate, red wine, and other items containing the animo acid tyramine. Also, foods cooked with MSG (monosodium glutamate) can trigger attacks. I tell my patients to eat what they want but to note if they get headaches after eating certain foods. If they do, stay away from those foods."
Ice your head. You have a 50-50 chance of getting some pain relief within 3 minutes of applying a soft, cold ice pack wrapped in a towel to your head, says Lawrence Robbins, MD, an assistant professor of neurology at Rush Medical College and the University of Illinois College of Medicine, both in Chicago, who also has his own headache clinic in Northbrook, Illinois. That's because ice constricts blood vessels, returning them to normal size.
Be aerobically inclined. Doctors have long known that exercise is a great way to reduce the stress that often triggers migraines in some people. But now there's research suggesting that cardiovascular fitness may also help lessen migraines—no matter what the cause. Research psychologists at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, report that the severity of migraines decreases as cardiovascular fitness increases. Regular exercise is a great idea for anyone who has migraines, but a warning: Exercise during an attack can make it worse.
Don't pop the Pill. If you're a migraine-prone woman who takes birth control pills, you might want to consider discontinuing them. One in three women with migraines has increased attacks when she takes oral contraceptives.

Former U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords Launches Anti-Gun, Anti-Domestic Violence Campaign
Giffords long has been concerned about guns and domestic violence. In March 2015, she spoke in support of Connecticut legislation prohibiting recipients of temporary restraining orders from accessing firearms.
CT Senate Democrats
Former Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords this week launched a new campaign attacking gun violence.
The initiative, called the Women's Coalition for Common Sense, will focus on the nexus of guns and domestic violence.
Women in the United States are 11 times more likely to die as a result of gun violence than women in other high-income countries, according to a study published in the Journal of Trauma. More than half of the women murdered with guns are killed by intimate partners or family members.
Giffords, who was nearly killed in 2011 when a shooter opened fire on a community meeting in Tucson, introduced the campaign with a painstakingly rehearsed speech during a daylong "Domestic Violence Awareness Summit" in Washington, D.C. (New Times tuned in via live stream).
"Guns and domestic violence are a deadly mix," she said. Her words were slow and slurred, evidence of the bullet that seared through her brain. "That makes gun violence a women's issues."
Giffords recruited a star-spangled, all-female board for the venture, called the Women's Coalition for Common Sense. Among her supporters, she counts former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright, actress Connie Britton of ABC's Nashville, actress Alyssa Milano, of CBS' Melrose Place, and the presidents of two of the country's most prominent women's colleges, Barnard and Mount Holyoke. Barbara Parker, the mother of a Virginia news reporter who was shot and killed on live television earlier this year, also is on the board, as well as a number of prominent doctors, lawyers, and activists.
"Women can lead the way," she said. "We stand for common sense. We stand for responsibility. We can change our laws."
The coalition aims to close what Giffords sees as gaps in federal laws protecting battered women.
Currently, federal law prohibits people who are convicted of domestic violence from accessing guns if their victim was a spouse, relation, or cohabiting partner. However, it does not apply to people who abused current or former dating partners.
Federal law also denies firearms to people convicted of felony stalking. But many first-time stalkers take plea deals to get misdemeanor charges. Those convicts have no trouble getting guns.
"That leaves a lot of women unprotected," said Marium Durrani, a public policy attorney with the National Network to End Domestic Violence, a Washington, D.C., nonprofit that has signed on to the campaign.
Women are far more likely to be murdered if a gun is present during a domestic altercation if there is a gun in the house, she said. But abusers don't even have to fire a gun to control and traumatize. Many abusers will simply "put the gun on the counter as an unspoken threat," or remind the woman that the gun is in the safe, easily accessible.

Alan Korwin, author of Gun Laws of America and nine other books on firearm codes, argued, however, that having a gun in the house can actually aid victims of domestic violence.
"Where are the stories of the many, many women who have used guns to protect themselves?" he said.
More and more women are arming themselves. Between 2005 and 2011, Gallup reported the percentage of American women who own a gun nearly doubled, from 13 to 23 percent. Studies show two-thirds purchased their weapons for safety reasons.
Statistics about how often women actually successfully use guns to defend themselves, are hotly contested. According to the National Crime Victimization Survey, which most agree is the most consistent data set, gun use in self-defense is rare. But, as Korwin pointed out, it's difficult to measure homicides that didn't happen — because they didn't happen.
Before the 2011 shooting, Giffords supported easier access to guns. In 2008, she signed an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a Washington D.C. prohibition on home handgun possession in District of Columbia v. Heller, which Second Amendment enthusiasts now consider a landmark case.
After her injury, however, Giffords, along with her husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, founded Americans For Responsible Solutions, a pro-gun control political action committee that seeks to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill. The two also co-authored a book outlining their views on responsible gun ownership, Enough: Our Fight to Keep American Safe from Gun Violence.

Welcome to Cisco Support Community. We would love to have your feedback.

Have a customer requesting rebooting and/or stats on the usage of their Directory Handlers. I couldn't find anything in Web Administration or even the SQL database.
not sure what you mean by "rebooting and/or status" here.
For Unity Connection you can get a sense for how often callers are using name lookup handlers from the vw_CallActivity table in the reports database - it doesn't break it down by _which_ directory handlers are getting what traffic but instead how many times someone on a particular call accessed a name lookup handler (the "DirectoryHandler" column is a number in this case).
Unity doesn't have anything equivalent to this I don't think...
Sorry, I meant to type "reporting and/or stats".
There might be an equivalent table in Unity's database but just not sure where.
It doesn't look like it - Unity's report DB is very different from Connection's - most of the report data for Unity gets crunched from the log files - Connection reports are done exclusively from the reports database which is populated by the "harvester" process that keeps it filled.
Connection logs all conversation counts that are totaled up during the cours of a call (i.e. how many call handlers did they hit, how many name lookup handlers, how many iterviewers, how many times did they log in etc....) - and those counts get dumped to that call activity table just to characterize traffic patterns. So far as I know the Unity conversation does not keep track of this or if it does I have no idea where it gets logged - the reports tables have no repository for anything like this in Unity so it would be tucked in a log file somewhere.

Students are Becoming Less Educated, While Costs Continue to Rise
The Failures of the Department of Education (and other shitty policies)
The Federal Government's Role in Education
While nearly every product in existence today continues to improve and get cheaper, the cost of education continues to increase. I credit two failures of government for this debauchery: the Department of Education (1979) and the Higher Education Act of 1965. The Department of Education does not educate anyone. The Education Department (ED) has the goal to "promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access", aka they have a mission statement that sounds like any teacher or parent, except these people have the power of the federal government to take your tax money and tell you how to educate your kids. The more local you can make education decisions, the more effective education will be.
The idea that we need to be told by educators in Washington how to educate our kids locally is ignorant. There are great teachers everywhere, and they are being literally retarded by federal influence with standardized testing and core curricula. We need to allow schools to compete with each other for the best students and for the most effective methods of teaching. The key is to provide parents and students with more choices. First, parents need to choose what they want their kids to learn. Without a national core curriculum, parents can voice their opinion through local channels on what the schools should emphasize. Second, teachers need to choose the best way to educate the students on the subjects the parents decide on. Schools with the most effective teaching methods will perform better, which will draw students from other schools, or motivate other schools to adopt the best system. Third, students need the choice to specialize in high school. Think of it as a high school major. A general studies option will still be available for students to obtain a broad education. Additionally, schools will offer programs of emphasis, which will reflect what prevails in the local society. For example: a high school in rural Texas might have a core curriculum, plus focuses in agriculture, natural resources, engineering in the oil or aerospace industries, and pediatric neuroscience (I'm just making shit up here). A high school in California might offer a core curriculum, plus focuses in film production, distillation, computer science, marine biology, and economics (or whatever).
But King RealRudePolitics! What about the poor inner city kids who have less funding and therefore less opportunity? Inner city kids might have focuses in urban development, or basketball, or soccer. Every large city can have high schools that produce nothing but the best athletes in the state, which will afford them the opportunity to receive a scholarship to their state university. Students from the suburbs who have a passion for sports or urban development will recognize the benefits of attending that inner city school. Coaches would want to work with the best athletes. Colleges would recruit from the schools that specialize in what they're looking for. The possibilities are endless (unless you want to be an Art History Major).
The Higher Education Act of 1965 is responsible for federal student loans, which today amounts to over $1 trillion. Student loans weren't always out of control, and college wasn't always outrageously expensive. The Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) guarantees student loans using federal tax dollars. When the government guarantees loans, the schools have no issue with rising costs, even if they don't lead to expansion or of higher quality education, the loans are guaranteed! It's the exact same problem created by the FDIC; originally created to provide a safety net for depositors with the instability in the banking markets of the early 20th century, but is now used as an excuse for banks to not be held responsible for their investments, or who banks lend credit to (the taxpayers have got our backs!).
Today's society seems to operate under the assumption that going to college is a right. Allow me to remind you what a right is by explaining to you what it isn't. If the government can provide something to you, and likewise take it away, it is not a right. The federal government has zero responsibility providing you with education. If you can show me the word "education" in the Constitution, I'll be fucking impressed. The Constitutional argument to be made here is based on the 10th Amendment (perhaps the most ignored of the Bill of Rights). If the Constitution does not prescribe a power to Congress, nor prohibit a power, that power is reserved for the States to decide, or the individuals. It does not say, "take money from people in each state to give to a bureaucracy in Washington to make blanket decisions, then give that money back to the schools who fail the most." The Constitution is filled with approximately zero bullshit, and the Department of Education is bullshit.

I deposited on June 26th and received a 350% bonus on a 50.00 deposit, which was 275.00 total. I wagered the required playthrough and they somehow put that I received a 390.00 bonus. That is not the only issue. Now they claim that they gave a nondeposit bonus in the middle of this. There is no way. They said I am not able to cashout. They shouldn't be able to issue free comps when you have a balance in your account. They never issued bonuses at all. The only reason they are doing this is because I have a balance of over 900 and I am able to cashout. This is a loophole that they can use to not pay me.
Hi Brett,
Hope all is well!
Will coordinate with our Finance Team regarding your cashout request. They should contact you immediately.
I will send in my documents like the email said but I don't want to close this until I get paid. Just because I received an email for me to send in documents. This is a first step with many more to go. This doesn't guarantee me anything yet.
I was given a bonus of 350% on a 50.00 deposit and they claim that it is a 390.00 bonus by my calculations it is 275.00 total so that is wrong as well. It changed from the 390.00 to 415.15 the next day. They should only hold out 275.00 if they hold out anything at all.
We have coordinated with our Finance Team and all payout requests are subject for review by our data analysis team. Kindly send in required documents for review and approval.
What is the link to the authorization form? It is not on your site.
I can't send in the required documents because I don't have the link to the authorization form or an email address to send them to.
They are trying to only pay me a max cashout of 150.00 because of the daily loyalty cash that they supposedly deposited free money into my account while I was playing on the deposit that I made previously. I have over 900.00 in my balance and they are trying to get to me. What do I need to do about that?
Ask Gamblers,
I have a balance of 1200.00. I am sorry I told you the wrong amount. Is there anyway you can adjust that for me? Thank you.
We'll coordinate with our Finance team regarding your Authorization form. Rest assured that your request is under data analysis review. Our Finance Team will contact you for more details.
I sent all of my paperwork in yesterday. I finally found the authorization form on my own. I have a balance of over 1200.00 in my account and seeing that is from my deposit I should be able to withdraw that. Jada told me that since you supposedly deposited the comp money into my account when I had an actual balance from my deposit that I could only cash out 150.00 max. I don't think that is fair seeing that I was playing on my OWN money.
Finance team have confirmed to received your documents except for front copy of your credit card.
Kindly send for processing.
I have sent the front of my card to you, actually three different copies of it. I assume you are going to give me all of my money (over 1200.00).
I can't request a withdrawal until you approve my authorization form. Will you please approve my authorization form? I resent the copy of the front of my card.
Am I still going to be able to withdraw my balance and not the 150.00 you claim is the max cashout? I deposited and I should be able to withdraw my WHOLE balance.
Hi Brett, Upon checking, Finance Team is needing phone verification for cashout processing. Please advise best time and number to call you. As for your cashout amount request, we'll coordinate with our Finance Team. You may also contact them directly by responding to their recent email sent today
You can call me right now. You can call anytime I will answer. I would also like to know if I am able to cashout my WHOLE amount because I should be able to. Every time I ask you avoid the question.
I responded to the email before I sent a message here and I haven't gotten a response or a phone call.
We'll coordinate with our Finance team. Apologies for any inconvenience.
When will I be able to cashout? Am I going to be able to cashout the whole amount that I won, over 1200.00? I shouldn't be allowed a max cashout of 150.00 because of the chips you keep putting in my account. I waited on the phone call from you for two days now and nobody has called me. What is going on now? I should be allowed to withdraw ALL of my money.
Now I can't get them to respond on here. They haven't called me or responded. I should be allowed to withdraw ALL of my money.
Upon checking we found a recent ticket on this..

Dear Brett,
Thank you for contacting us. Kindly make a payout request in your casino account. It should be noted that all payout requests are subject for review by our data analysis team. I hope this clarifies.
Also, our customer service representative will contact you to verify your casino account. Please advise convenient time to call.
Best regards,
Finance Team
Yes I saw that one. They still haven't contacted me with a phone call. I have sent emails to them saying that they can contact me anytime, but nobody has tried to call me at all. As far as my withdrawal is concerned, they keep avoiding the question of me cashing out my whole amount, the 1200.00 that I won fair and square, off of my deposit. I don't know what is taking so long. Why won't they call me? They can contact me anytime and I provided my phone number to them as well, so there is no excuse.
They finally called me at 6:45 this morning to verify my account, but they still wouldn't tell me how much I could withdrawal. I had 1225.00 in there before they started adding free comps and now there is over 1500.00 in my account. I should be able to cashout the whole 1200.00. They gave me this phone number 1-855-363-1742 to call to talk to somebody that would be able to help me and it doesn't even ring. I am afraid to put in for my withdrawal because I am afraid they will try to pull a fast one on me. I would just like to withdraw my 1200.00 and stop receiving the daily comp money. Please just pay me and I don't want any more comp money to be added to my account.
Rest assured that all valid withdrawal will be processed.
Are you saying I will be able to cashout the 1225.00? If I put in for the withdrawal, I won't be approved only to be able to withdraw 150.00 max cashout? I want your word that I will be able to cashout 1225.00. Then I will request the cashout.
We are still waiting for update from our Data Analysis Team for your withdrawal request. Will keep you posted for development.
When will you know? I am not going to cash anything out unless I am absolutely 100% sure, because I don't want to get the short end of the stick.
I want you to say it in writing that I will be able to cashout the 1225.00. Just tell me that and process my withdrawal for that amount and then we can close this case.
Apologies for any delay. We are still waiting from our Data Analysis team regarding your cashout request. Rest assured that we will keep you posted.
You have to have some idea of when you will know. I want you to say with 100% certainty that I will receive my 1225.00 that I won fair and square. I want you to take the rest of the comps out of my account and keep it. I just want my money, ALL OF IT.
Are you not going to answer my question? Please, I would like you to assure me that I will receive ALL OF MY MONEY, the 1225.00 that I earned. I would like you to honestly say that I will receive it. Seeing that you haven't responded leads me to believe you have ran out of options, so you might as well pay me so we can close this case.
Are you going to let me know anything or are you going to keep me hanging? I have sent you messages on here and you haven't replied.
Our technical team have checked on your account and you
should be able to request for payout. Once request
is done, our data analysis team will give feedback regarding the
payout request.
I assume you mean I can cash out 1225.00 because that is what I was going to cashout before all of this happened. That is what I am requesting. So please don't deny it.
How long will it take to process my withdrawal? It should be expedited for all of the drama I have had to go through.
I should be able to withdraw the 1225.00 that I won but it only shows 1080.80 available for withdrawal. I put in for the 1080.80 but you should let me withdraw the 1225.00.
We will coordinate with our Finance team and We will update you of the status as soon as we hear from them.
When will you know? I have already put in for the 1080.80, but I should be able to withdraw the 1225.00. You should also expedite my withdrawal to me because of all of the trouble this has caused.
We are still waiting for our Finance Team's feedback. Will keep you posted.
It doesn't seem like that they want to please their customers. It is really giving them a bad reputation. When will I know anything? It has been way too long for this to be going on. It has almost been a month. It is like trying to pull a tooth to get what is entitled to me, the 1225.00. I think you should send me the full amount and expedite it as well.
Dear AskGamblers,
Do you know why Monarch's Casino is not responding to my comments now? It is like they quit communicating because they are forced to have to pay me.
Apologies for any delay, we'll coordinate with our Finance and Data Analysis team.
Hi brett.chisum.3 ,
We received a note from our Finance team that they have contacted you directly regarding your cashout and it has been approved and will be submitted for payment.
I also asked that my payout be expedited to me via fedex. Monarch's if you would do that then I will be happy. Just send it fedex with a tracking number and the case can be closed.
I went and checked my reports and it still says my payout is pending. It hasn't been approved like I was told. I just want it sent via Fedex and expedited also.
I checked today and guess what.... It is still pending. It has not been approved like I was told.
Hi brett.chisum.3 ,
Will check with our FInance Team on Monday. Thanks
I don't know how many times I have heard that one. It has been over a month and you have managed to go this long without paying me saying that my money was approved when it wasn't. I don't know what to believe. I just want my money and for it to be expedited via fedex. I don't think that is too much to ask. Do you?
I received an email from Jana Hernandez.... It said my concerns were acknowledged. If that was the case, my withdrawal should be approved by now. She said she would coordinate with their payment provider. It still hasn't been approved yet! I would like it to be approved and expedited. That is all I ask. If that happens I will close the case.
Great to hear that Jana contacted you directly. Rest assured that our Finance team will keep you posted for updates.
My withdrawal is still not approved. Just because she contacted me, and she has previously contacted me about this, doesn't mean anything. She has sent me emails before regarding this and nothing has been done. I just want my money and I want it expedited via fedex. I don't think hearing from her is going to move things along.
Apologies I don't believe we have a fedex option to send your cashout at this time. We will however coordinate with our Finance team and keep you posted.
I am sure you have a way of expediting it such as DHL, UPS, etc. I am sure you can.
As per checking, our Finance team can process thru credit card and they are communicating with our processor on this. Apologies if we can not process via check at this time. Rest assured that options on payments is a work in progress.
When will it be approved? I just want a date as to when I will receive it as well. I know you say it takes up to 10 business days. I have requested it and it has been longer than 10 business days.
As per previous update of which was sent to you directly, your cashout request was approved and we are waiting for you response if we can process your withdrawal thru your visa card on file. Please advise.

Dear Brett,
Good day! We are pleased to inform you that your payout request has been approved and it will be submitted for payment
I responded to your email I said that would be fine paying it to my card. I also asked you if you could expedite it to my card and you never answered that question. That is the least you could do for me.
It says it was approved via courier check. Is there any way you can expedite the check so it will get to me faster? I would greatly appreciate it.
I would like to keep this open until I receive it, if that is okay with you.
Dear @brett.chisum.3,
That won't be a problem, just keep us updated, thank you.
When will you send it? I know that it was approved. If you send it via check, I would like a tracking number please. It says it was approved via courier check.
Apologies for any delay. Will coordinate with our Finance team and keep you posted.
Has it even been sent out yet?
If you are going to pay my card, I responded to your email 2 weeks ago to say that is fine with me. I get another email today asking me if I wanted it deposited to my card. AGAIN, I say that will be fine. Please expedite it to my card. There is so much drama just to get my money.
Apologies for any delay. Will coordinate this to our Finance Team
I received an email from Jana and she said that she notified the payment provider to send payment. I want to keep this open until I receive my payout.
I finally received my money!! Thank you Monarch's. Also, thank you AskGamblers you were awesome in helping me!! You can close this case now. I appreciate your help.

Tocumwal Archive
The Tocumwal Archive is a collection of stories and photographs, about living in the houses that were moved from the Tocumwal air force base in New South Wales, to the Canberra suburb of O'Connor. The base was built during the Second World War as an inland defence against Japanese invasion. As camouflage, the sleeping quarters for air force personnel were built in the form of houses. After the War, the acute housing shortage in Canberra gave the houses a new purpose. From the late 1940s, about 200 of them were transported to the growing suburbs of Ainslie and O'Connor. In O'Connor they were located in two groups of four cul-de-sacs meeting at a central park and bounded by Macarthur, Macpherson, Miller and Tate Streets. The area is listed as an Australian Capital Territory (ACT) heritage precinct. Collection for the Archive began in 1996 with a PhotoAccess project supported by the ACT Heritage Council. Stories and photographs are archived according to the donor's name. Ongoing community collection and maintenance of the Archive is encouraged. The Archive is open for research use and the contribution of material at the ACT Heritage Library in the Woden Town Library. The Tocumwal Archive website is hosted by PhotoAccess and was initiated as part of Party in the Park , a 2005 ACT Heritage Festival event co-ordinated by Northside Community Service. It features a fraction of the material held in the Archive.

Recently I was lucky enough to be asked by the glorious Mrs Bebe of Mrs Bebe Blog to be part of her Girl Gang for ASOS. Myself, Mrs Bebe and the heavenly Em Smyth of Terrible Tumbles clubbed together to create a squad that can only be described as the love child of Dolly Parton & Joan Jett. I could not think of two better girls to share a gang with as I deeply adore both of these human beings, their stunning faces and incredible plus size fashion sense. In our posts, we decided that we were going to pay homage to the original Girl Gangs of old.
Jacket & Polo - ASOS Curve (skirt tights and shoes - my own)
As ya'll know, ASOS have forever been my favourite plus size brand. They offer the most incredible, fashion forward, eclectic selection of fashions available for plus size women of today! The pieces I am wearing in these shots are no exception. The quality of these items is second to none, the heavy suede of the jacket means the cut and fall are impeccable and the gorgeous lurex mix of the polo means it is not only sparkly and fabulous, but comfortable and incredibly versatile. I had always dreamt of owning a jacket that made me feel like a country and western star and now I can truly say that that dream has come true! The fringing on the sleeves and back of this jacket is flawless and so on trend - fringing is still a big deal! The colours in the polo have something to suit everyone which means there isn't one person that would feel it 'wouldn't suit them' and not only that but the sparkly thread running through it almost reminds me of Christmas, which is basically my favourite time of year ever haha!
Both full outfits worn by Bec & Em - ASOS Curve.
Be wild, love and support your girl gang.
Lots Of Love,
KLJ x

Whitsundays Cruise Port
Port of Whitsundays: An Overview
Taking in the stunning reef, picturesque islands and luxurious hotels that make up the Whitsundays, you might find it hard to believe that the islands are the result of volcanoes that raged 110 million years ago.
Captain Cook, who first sailed through on June 4, 1770, named the collection of islands. Of the 74 islands, only eight are inhabited with resorts. The region offers more than enough diversions to occupy the curious traveler, though, with a bevy of wildlife on land and sea, high-end eateries, family-friendly lagoons and romantic sandy beaches.
Whitsundays sees an average of 274 sunny days a year, making it the perfect spot to soak up some rays and explore its naturally beautiful features by boat or on foot. As the closest point off the Queensland coast to the Great Barrier Reef, and with an average water temperature of 26 degrees Celsius (79 Fahrenheit), it's very much a diving and snorkeling paradise. Of course, it's just as possible to appreciate the ocean from the shoreline -- especially from the array of sumptuous seafood restaurants that line the coast.
Cruise ships visiting Whitsundays call on one of two ports. Airlie Beach, perched on Australia's northeast coast, is a mainland port acting as both a gateway to the islands and an attractive beach destination in its own right. It has a lively and social atmosphere -- with plenty of restaurants, clubs and bars for evening guests -- and the main street offers boutique shops, day spas and cafes. From Airlie, travelers can take day-trips to the reef, Daydream Island and Whitsunday Island, home to Whitehaven Beach.
Hamilton Island is in the heart of Whitsundays, and smaller ships utilize its port. As the largest of the Whitsunday Island resorts, Hamilton has a wealth of beaches, restaurants and coral reefs worth visiting, and it's also a jumping-off point for day-trips to the surrounding areas.
Port Facilities
Visitors to Abel Point Marina in Airlie Beach are greeted by the Cruise Ship Ambassadors, who can provide information on transfers, day-tours and regional information. At the terminal itself, you'll find a cafe, a boutique, kiosk and tour operator offices but no ATM's. Most people will want to take the short walk or shuttle bus to the main street of Airlie Beach, where there are many options for shopping, restaurants and bars, as well as several tourist information desks.
At Hamilton Island, the tenders drop you off at the marina, which has an abundance of facilities and shops. Within a few stops from the drop-off point, you'll find a grocery store, toilets, buggy rentals, an ice cream parlor and a range of restaurants. There are multiple information booths around the island.
Don't Miss
With 74 islands and the Great Barrier Reef on its doorstep, natural attractions are very much the star of Whitsundays' show, and no trip is complete without a day exploring the waters. One of the seven natural wonders of the world -- and the only living structure that is visible from outer space -- the World Heritage-listed reef covers more than 2,000 km. As home to thousands of species of colorful fish, coral and other marine life, including whales, dolphins and turtles, it is also scuba-diving and snorkeling heaven. Alternately, you can view the ocean floor in comfort on a dry-bottom boat trip.
Airlie Beach is a shopping hub, so set aside time for souvenir-hunting. Shops along the main street stock the usual beachwear to supplement your holiday wardrobe, or pick up some Whitsundays-branded souvenirs. When cruise ships are in port, the locals put on markets on the Airlie Beach foreshore, selling arts and crafts and fresh produce; look out for artwork inspired by the stunning local landscapes. The market stalls are generally cash only, and entry is free. Proserpine, a 25-minute drive from Airlie Beach, has an array of attractive boutiques, such as Colour Me Crazy, Cherrie Baby Boutique, Sirene Sea Pearls and Epicure Homewares.
If pampering is the order of the day, try Airlie Day Spa for a treat or two. Located in the heart of Airlie Beach, on Shute Harbour Road, the personalized service has a wide range of treatments, including hot-stone massages and facials for sun-damaged skin. Over on Hamilton Island, Spa Wumurdaylin is open to day-visitors from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, and booking in advance is essential.
As well as several relaxing beach and spa options, Hamilton Island offers a raft of activities for visitors. Take a hike into the bushland to find panoramic hilltop viewpoints, try go-kart-racing at Palm Valley, visit one of its six tennis courts, or tee off at Hamilton Island Golf Club.
Explore Hamilton Island's bushland on the back of an automatic quad bike (Hamilton Island Tour Desk +61(0)7 4946 8305). After spending time on a "confidence course," a quad bike tour guide will lead you up through the scenic fire trails, and from there you can take in the 360-degree views of the islands from Resort Lookout.
Make like James Bond, and take a helitour of the islands. Helitours Whitsunday offers a range of options suitable for cruise visitors, including a two-hour trip to Whitehaven Beach for a picnic with pilot commentary or "rush" tours from 10 to 30 minutes. Meet at the Whitsunday Airport, 6 km from Airlie Beach. Whitsunday Transit provides bus transfer services to and from the airport, but it must be booked in advance. Alternately, take a taxi.
Check out alternative wildlife on the Proserpine River. Whitsunday Crocodile Safari provides return transfers from Airlie Beach, and the tour includes a relaxing river cruise to spot freshwater crocodiles, an open-air wagon train tour through the Goorganga wetlands, BBQ lunch and traditional billy tea and damper (skillet bread).
For the ultimate adrenalin rush, enjoy great views from a plane before freefalling for between 20 and 55 seconds with Skydive Airlie Beach. The company offers a courtesy pickup from Airlie Beach.
Getting Around
Airlie Beach: The flat, scenic boardwalk around Airlie Beach makes it a pleasant walking area. To get farther afield, Whitsunday Transit's daily bus service connects Airlie Beach to Proserpine, Cannonvale and Shute Harbour from designated bus stops every 30 to 60 minutes.
Car rental options at Airlie Beach include Avis, Hertz and Thrifty car rentals, all of which have outlets there. Alternately, local rental companies include Fun Rentals. Whitsunday Taxis (book through Tourism Whitsundays, +61 7 4948 5900) are available 24 hours a day.
Hamilton Island: Golf buggies are the main form of transport on Hamilton Island. Covered two- or four-seaters are easy to drive and can be rented by the hour, for two or three hours, or for the day. Prebook with email@example.com.
Hamilton Island also offers a free shuttle covering three routes around the island, with several services per hour, from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Pickup points include the Marina Village, Catseye Beach and One Tree Hill. The island is just 3.5 kilometers by 5 kilometers, so walking between attractions is also an option.
Best for couples: As one of the most naturally beautiful spots on the earth, Whitsundays is the place to go for gorgeous beaches. Most famous is the multiple-award-winning Whitehaven Beach, a renowned must-see for romantics and nature-lovers. Its 7 kilometers of pristine silica sand and crystal-clear waters are perfect for a few hours of blissful relaxation. Set on Whitsunday Island, the largest of the 74 islands in Whitsundays, it can easily be reached by ferry, powerboat or yacht. However, in peak times, it's advisable to pre-book to guarantee availability on the day you're planning to visit.
Best for families: The Airlie Beach Lagoon is in the center of Airlie Beach, with natural and manmade features for all types of visitors. However, with its central location, children's pool and stinger-free sandy beach area for little ones to play in the shallows, it's perfect for families. Parents can relax on the grassy knolls between the lagoon and landscaped gardens. There is no admission fee.
Best for water sports: Head for Hamilton Island's main beach, Catseye, for a more active day at the beach. Hamilton Island Beach Sports is on the beach, so renting catamarans, paddle skis, paddleboards, windsurfing gear and snorkeling equipment couldn't be easier.
Food and Drink
Fresh, local produce is abundant in Whitsundays. Among the freshest is the seafood, caught from local waters -- perfect for a light lunch in the warm climate. If you're not so keen on fruits de mer, modern Australian fare combines many types of cuisines, so there really is something for everyone.
In Airlie Beach, try Fish D'vine Fish Cafe and Rum Bar. While the restaurant's unique offer of seafood and rum is the main draw, its owner is also reported to be quite a local character. The extensive menu does include some non-fish options, but fresh sea fare is the key attraction, with tempting highlights like local chili mud crab and barbequed tiger prawns. For a post-lunch tipple, the bar offers more than 280 rums. Or opt instead for spirit-themed desserts, such as banana fritters with spiced rum maple syrup. (303 Shute Harbour Road, Airlie Beach; 07 4948 0088; open all day Friday through Sunday)
Capers, at the Airlie Beach Hotel, is a chic option by the beachfront. Enjoy a signature cocktail, or indulge in some tasty tapas while scouting for celebrities -- Nicole Kidman, Matthew McConaughey and Hugh Jackman are just a few of the restaurant's star guests. Tapas are available throughout the afternoon, while the lunch menu includes modern Australian cuisine like steak and seafood, all with great sea views. (16 The Esplanade, Airlie Beach; 07 4964 1777; lunch from 12 to 2:30 p.m.; tapas from 12 to 5 p.m.)
On Hamilton Island, feast on gourmet pizza at the laid-back Manta Ray Café, which overlooks the marina. Pasta and salad are also on the menu. (Marina Side, Front Street; 07 4946 8213; noon to 3 p.m.)
Sadly, the Hamilton Island Yacht Club's gourmet Bommie Restaurant is only open for dinner, but you can still rub shoulders with Whitsundays elite at its Bommie Deck, which offers a more relaxed-style menu with views overlooking Dent Passage, the marina and the islands. (07 4948 9433; noon to 7 p.m.)
Where You're DockedWhitsundays has two main ports: Abel Point Marina in Airlie Beach, catering to larger cruise ships, and Hamilton Island for smaller ships. Abel Point Marina is right near the center of Airlie Beach, about a 10-minute walk along a scenic boardwalk or a one- to two-minute drive. Hamilton Island's marina is the central hub of the island. Cruise ships don't come into port on the mainland or islands; they have moorings off Airlie Beach and Hamilton Island and need to tender passengers in for shore excursions.
Good to KnowIn general, Whitsundays is safe and tourist-friendly. However, the North Queensland sun can be harsh, so cover up and wear sunscreen. Also, October to May is the high-risk stinger season, so it is best to wear a protective wetsuit when swimming in the ocean during this time.
Currency & Best Way to Get MoneyThe currency is the Australian dollar. Visit xe.com for current exchange rates. There are extensive ATM facilities throughout Airlie Beach (within a five-minute walk of the marina) and on Hamilton Island. Most places generally accept mainstream credit cards, such as Visa and Mastercard, but ask first.
LanguageThe language is English, spoken with an Australian accent. Expect to hear the usual "g'day"s and "no worries." However, with the islands attracting so many travelers from across the globe, visitors might well find a fellow countryman to converse with in their native tongue in key areas like Airlie Beach.
ShoppingPick up a piece of local art at the market on Airlie Beach foreshore as a memory of your visit. Of course, a tastier way to reminisce about your time on the island is over a nice glass of red or white wine. Choose your bottle from the famous Oatley Wines collection, sold at a number of souvenir shops on Hamilton Island. The winery is owned by the Oatley family, who also own the island, and the wine -- which comes from vineyards in New South Wales and Western Australia -- is stocked in every licensed venue on the island.
Best CocktailCelebrate Whitsundays' nautical heritage with every sailor's favorite tipple -- rum. Fish D'vine's Rum Bar offers more than 280 rums and promises to find a cocktail for every taste.

The Fun Filled Aquarium
by Ayanna Daniels and Hannah Bishop
Angelfish can grown up to six inches in length. They live longer in water temperatures between 78 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Angelfish should NOT be put in the same tank with highly aggressive tank mates or fin nippers. Their environment décor includes rocks, driftwood, and plants. The plants should be located on the sides and back of the tank so that the fish will have enough space to swim.

Hi again,
I have a Stored Proc in PostgreSQL which now has more than 100 args. When I try to create this STP, I get an error "ERROR: functions cannot have more than 100 arguments".
I see that there is a Preset Option called "max_function_args" whose value is set to 100 by default.
Can someone tell me how to change the value of this "max_function_args" parameter (if possible) so that I can create the stored proc OR any other way to do the same?
Hors ligne
You cannot change this parameter without recompiling postgres. I'd not recommand to do it though. If you need more than 100 parameters in your function, you should probably try to think of a better design to achieve your need. As a blind guess, I'd say to get all the needed information from your table(s), and reduce parameters to the PK(s) and some few additional parameters.
Hors ligne
Sounds good rjuju .. Thanks again

On the first anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings, President Obama and Vice President Biden remembered the four people who were killed and honored the hundreds who were wounded, saying the country and world are moved by their resilience.
Addressing a tribute service at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Biden said Boston's reaction to the bombings - doctors running through the marathon finish line to hospitals, bystanders helping the injured, strangers starting foundations - has become a symbol of perseverance around the world.
"You've become the face of America's resolve for all the world to see," Biden said. The city has adopted the slogan "Boston Strong" in the aftermath of the bombings, but Biden said that doggedness extends to the entire nation.
"That's what makes us so proud of this city and this state. What makes me so proud to be an American. That we have never, ever yielded to fear. Ever," Biden said.
Biden directly addressed the families of those killed - Krystle Campbell, 29, Lingzi Lu, 23, and 8-year-old Martin Richard, who were watching the race, and MIT police officer Sean Collier, 26 - telling them that while no memorial can provide solace, he hopes they have gained some comfort from the outpouring of affection from all over the city, country and world.
"You're an inspiration to people all across this country who have suffered tragedy," Biden said.
Biden said those who are injured - a number of whom spoke Tuesday - are "living proof that America can never, never, never be defeated."
"So much has been taken from you but you never, never have given up," Biden said.
Obama issued a statement Tuesday morning, saying the nation stands in "awe"of the injured who are relearning life's basics: how to stand, walk and run.
"With each new step, our country is moved by the resilience of a community and a city," he said.
Obama said the images that people remember are not of the blasts and the aftermaths, but the compassion and outpouring that runners, spectators and Bostonians showed during those harrowing moments.
"A man in a cowboy hat helping a wounded stranger out of harm's way; runners embracing loved ones, and each other; an EMT carrying a spectator to safety," Obama said. "Today, we recognize the incredible courage and leadership of so many Bostonians in the wake of unspeakable tragedy. And we offer our deepest gratitude to the courageous firefighters, police officers, medical professionals, runners and spectators who, in an instant, displayed the spirit Boston was built on – perseverance, freedom and love."
Authorities said brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokar Tsarnaev carried out the two bombings, which occurred near the marathon's finish line. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a shootout with police days after the blasts. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev faces 30 federal charges and is being held in a federal facility. The Justice Department announced earlier this year the government will seek the death penalty in the case.
The 2014 Boston Marathon will take place Monday.
"And when the sun rises over Boylston Street next Monday – Patriot's Day – hundreds of thousands will come together to show the world the meaning of 'Boston Strong' as a city chooses to run again," Obama said.
The Boston Marathon coincides each year with a Boston Red Sox game. Biden couldn't help but rib the city on its obsession with its baseball team.
"Even though I'm not a Boston fan, I love you guys, man," said Biden, who is from Delaware. "I know politicians aren't supposed to say that you're not a Red Sox fan. But where I'm from if you said you rooted for the Red Sox, you got the living hell kicked out of you."

Series: The Blue Raven #2
Author: Kate Noble
Pages: 352 (Mass Market Paperback)
Publisher: Berkley
Release Date: April 6, 2010
Source: Borrowed
Purchase: Amazon•TBD (affiliate link)
Away from fast-paced London society for the summer, Lady Jane Cummings befriends Byrne Worth, a war hero, apparent hermit and suspected highwayman, and convinced of his innocence, she becomes determined to clear his name.
The Summer of You was fun, but I did like the first book better. This time we're following Lady Jane and Byrne, whom we met last time. Jane is attending her recently refriended friend Philippa's wedding when her brother suddenly returns. He wants to send Jane and their father to their country estate, since their father isn't doing too well. Jane refuses to be banished, so she blackmails Jason into accompanying her. There she becomes reacquainted with Byrne Worth aka The Blue Raven. But their tiny town doesn't view him as the hero he is. They believe he's the highwayman who's been terrorizing everyone.
I don't really know what to say about The Summer of You. I liked it. It made me smile. Jane and Byrne were cute together and had a couple of steamy scenes. I especially liked Jane's friend Victoria who believes that she's in love with her brother and totally misses that someone else is in love with her. There is a bit of mystery as Jane decides to figure out who the real highwayman is and prove Byrne's innocence. This causes some excitement and danger toward the end. The last page is really bittersweet. It almost brought a tear to my eye!

Potato Skins Recipe
February 6, 2011 by Post Team
Potato Skins Recipe, Its time to celebrate the big day pigskin with another skin type. Potato skins potatoes dressed in edible decadence are a winner for Sunday's Super Bowl, a game that is as much about food as football. "They crisis flavors, color and clear that blend perfectly with the football," said Rory Hewitt, chief executive at Phoenix City Grille. Potato skins can also be prepared in advance and reheated just before serving, these noshes beer environment an easy way to feed hungry guests without missing a touchdown.
Skins are traditional dug potato halves, but Hewitt suggests small-scale neighborhoods or discs for Super Bowl parties because they will most likely be served alongside a banquet kitchen sports bar, wings, pizza.
Although smaller, Hewitt Super Bowl skins are great on upholstery, from short ribs to a tomatillo shrimp chorizo, Romano and the trilogy of cream cheese. Follow a recipe or simply top with favorite ingredients, such as bacon bits, pepperoni, roasted vegetables, smoked sausage, ham or other deli meats and cheese that melts easily.
The only skin must be well prepared, which is crisp and firm. The best skins are cooked, and then fried. For healthier versions, simply cook until as concise as possible.
Follow these steps for the potato skins winner:
Thoroughly clean the potatoes. Prick the potatoes several times with a fork. Bake in oven at 400 degrees until tender, about 1 hour. Remove and let cool slightly.
For traditional corners, cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Flesh potato scoop, leaving a layer about 1/4-inch attached to the skin. Gently press the potato flesh remains in the skin. Or discs of potato plunge a knife into hot water to prevent the potatoes sticking to the knife, and cut into 1/4-inch slices.
Heat the canola oil in a deep fryer or pot to 375 degrees. Place the pieces of potato skin or discs of the fryer basket. Lower 2-3 at a time and fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until the skins is golden and crisp. Transfer to absorbent paper skins and above.
Today is Super Bowl Sunday and instead of a potato skins traditional recipe, I thought to follow the path of sweet potatoes. "Ribbons" These chips are easy to make with a vegetable peeler.
Although they are very tasty by themselves, for a variation you can sprinkle with salt and lime zest and chili powder…
Ribbons of crunchy sweet potato
* 8 cups vegetable oil for frying
* 6 medium sweet potatoes (3 pounds), peeled
Put oil in a deep enough 5 – to 6-quart saucepan to measure 2 inches and heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 360.
Using a vegetable peeler (preferably U-shaped) shaving each sweet potato into long strips. Fry a handful of ribbons at a time, turning with a slotted spoon or a grill, until lightly browned and crisp, about 50 seconds. Transfer ribbons of paper towel and return the oil temperature to 360 before
Fry the next batch.
If it does not fry the strips at once, put them in a big bowl of ice water and refrigerate for 1 day. The cooling of the ribbons will make them stronger and more easily they will crisp as they are dried by the handful in a towel before frying.

KALLIO CELEBRATES HIS BIRTHDAY WITH THE NINTH POSITION AT VALENCIA. ESPARGARO' THIRTEENTH The 2009 MotoGP season is today over at the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia. Pramac Racing riders, Mika Kallio and Aleix Espargaro, were really motivated...
The 2009 MotoGP season is today over at the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia. Pramac Racing riders, Mika Kallio and Aleix Espargaro, were really motivated after the good warm up where they have respectively registered the eighth and the thirteenth fastest lap times. Mika's best lap time was only two tenths of second slower from the third best conquered by Colin Edwards. In the race the white and red duo didn't make it to start well losing various positions after the first lap. The Finnish rider has found himself in twelfth position and has started a passionate fight with four more riders concluding in ninth place. Aleix instead had to made a comeback as he was in last place after the first lap due to a small mistake. The young Spanish rider has recovered and overtook lap after lap Vermeulen, Talmacsi, Melandri and Capirossi. From tomorrow the 2010 season will start with the first test for the Pramac Racing riders on the Valencia track.
Fabiano Sterlacchini - Pramac Racing Technical Director
"The Championship is over and I want to thanks the Pramac Racing team members for the work done this season. It has been an intense and constructive season and we have to start from here to improve next year. I want to also thank Niccolo Canepa who unluckily couldn't race these last two races with us due to the injury. Mika has obtained a good result today: we a re bit sad only that he took too much time to overtake De Angelis losing contact with the riders who were in front of him. I am sure that he could have fought at least for seventh position. Aleix has been really unlucky in the start where he had a small problem that put him in last position. From here on he started a good comeback that took him to the thirteenth position. Not bad as he has reached and overtook riders much more experienced than him."
Mika Kallio - Pramac Racing rider - 9th in the race - 15th in the Championship
"The ninth position isn't a great result but for how it went the race today it can be ok. When I was in the group that was fighting for the seventh position I felt some pain in the left arm and I couldn't brake as late as I would have want to overtake De Angelis. Once overtook him I made it to find back the good rhythm of the beginning of the race but I was too late to reach the riders in front of me. I want to thanks the Pramac Racing team for the great work done this year and I confide to grow together next season."
Aleix Espargaro - Pramac Racing rider - 13th in the race - 18th in the Championship
"Horrible start but from the second part of the race I made to registered interesting lap times. I lost too much time in the fight with Vermeulen and lap after lap I reached and overtook without too many complications Talmacsi, Melandri and Capirossi. I wanted to try to reach Toseland but it was too late and we were riding with similar lap times. Now I can say my stage at Pramac Racing is over, from tomorrow we will begin the real job. I am ready, motivated and I hope to grow a lot next year."

Morning Announcements
Two items of interest in the in-box this a.m. First, from the U.S. Attorney's office, an announcement concerning the gathering of the area's top cops at 11 a.m. today: "U.S. Attorney Richard B. Roper and Special Agent in Charge James L. Capra of the Dallas DEA, will be joined by Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins and Dallas Police Chief David Kunkle and other representatives of federal, state and local law enforcement at a press conference TODAY to announce arrests made locally as part of massive international drug enforcement operation." Seized items will be exhibited -- but only for photographing. Intern Daniel's interested and attending with his photographing device.
Also: The Parkland bond campaign kicks off tomorrow, with a 1:30 p.m. "Vote FOR Parkland" rally at Old City Park, during which yard signs will be doled out for planting. Which gives Parkland Hospital's Board of Managers and the Dallas County Commissioners Court less than two months to convince taxpayers to shell out $747 million for a "862-bed adult inpatient hospital (including a Level 1 Trauma Center and Burn Center), outpatient center, office building and parking." Commissioners and state reps expected to attend. Also, the city council will debut the rehabbed Cotton Bowl today at noon, which is how I plan on spending my lunch hour. --Robert Wilonsky
