Simon & Schuster Literature Quotations Funny Quotes Love Quotes Great Lines from Movies and Television Quotations For Holidays Best Sellers Classic Literature Plays & Drama Poetry Shakespeare Short Stories Children's Books by Esther Lombardi Esther Lombardi is a veteran journalist who has written about literature, education, and technology. Updated April 01, 2019 "King Lear" is one of the most famous plays by William Shakespeare. The work is based on a legendary king, who bequeaths his kingdom to two of his three daughters, based on how well they flatter him. The fallout is tragic. The plot has influenced various novels, including "A Thousand Acres" by Jane Smiley, and even a television show, "Empire." The quotes below depict the king's descent into madness as his daughters wage a bloody battle for the kingdom. True Intentions Once set in motion, Goneril, Lear's eldest daughter; Regan, his second daughter; and Cordelia, his youngest, begin positioning to gain control of the kingdom. Shakespeare uses expressive language to allude to the anger that seethes within Lear's children. "Meantime we shall express our darker purpose." - Act 1, Scene 1"Come not between the dragon and his wrath." - Act 1, Scene 1"Time shall unfold what plaited cunning hides." - Act 1, Scene 1 Ingratitude Lear, expressing a parent's universal lament, feels that his daughters -- particularly Cordelia -- are ungrateful for all that he has done for them. His disappointment shows in these quotes. "Ingratitude, thou marble-hearted fiend, / More hideous, when thou show'st thee in a child, / Than the sea-monster." - Act 1, Scene 4"How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is / To have a thankless child!" - Act 1, Scene 4"Rumble thy bellyful! Spit, fire! Spout, rain! / Nor rain, wind, thunder, fire, are my daughters: / I tax not you, you elements, with unkindness; / I never gave you kingdom, called you children, / You owe me no subscription: then, let fall / Your horrible pleasure; here I stand, your slave, / A poor, infirm, weak, and despised old man." - Act 3, Scene 2 Madness Lear slowly loses his sanity during the course of the play. Sadly, he knows he is losing his mind because of the course of events he has set in motion, but he is powerless to stop the chaos he has caused as well as his descent into madness, as these quotes demonstrate. "O! let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven; / Keep me in temper; I would not be mad!" - Act 1, Scene 5"Thou art a soul in bliss; but I am bound / Upon a wheel of fire, that mine own tears / Do scald like molten lead." - Act 4, Scene 7"I fear I am not in my perfect mind." - Act 4, Scene 7 Despair and Regret Among the many other travesties in the play, Cordelia dies as a result of the battle between the sisters for the kingdom. Lear laments her death, of course, but also lays bare in these quotes his feelings of despair and utter regret at the tragic results. "Pray you now, forget and forgive." - Act 4, Scene 7"We two alone will sing like birds i' the cage: / When thou dost ask me blessing, I'll kneel down, / and ask of thee forgiveness." - Act 5, Scene 3"Howl, howl, howl, howl! O! you are men of stones: / Had I your tongue and eyes, I'd use them so / That heaven's vaults should / rack. She's gone for ever!" - Act 5, Scene 3"Is this the promised end?" - Act 5, Scene 3 Continue Reading

No one has favorited this theater yet
Located in the east London inner city district of Whitechapel. A shop conversion, the Cinema never had an actual name. It operated in 1909 and was closed by 1910, unable to meet the requirements of the Cinematograph Licencing Act.
In 2008, the building is in use as the Halal Fried Chicken take-a-way restaurant, opposite the new East London Mosque.

A cool and cloudy Wednesday afternoon greeted the final departure of Captain Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger from Hollywood/Ft. Lauderdale International Airport (FLL) for his last flight before retirement, US Airways Flight 1167 to Charlotte.
In the cockpit with him for the milestone was First Officer Jeff Skiles, his co-pilot on the famed "Miracle on the Hudson" flight. Following the push back from the gate, the flight was given priority taxi clearance on Taxiway Alpha for a westerly departure on runway 27R. At the end of the taxiway, Ft Lauderdale Tower ATC communicated a very nice tribute to Sully before giving him his clearance to line up and hold. In his usual professional voice, the reply to the tribute was "Thank You. Confirm Cactus 1167 cleared to line up and hold." The take off clearance was equally professionally acknowledged and the Airbus A321 (N181UW) rolled down runway 27R and climbed out into the cloudy South Florida skies.
Captain Chesley Burnett Sullenberger III is best known for saving all 155 people aboard US Airways Flight 1549 that crash landed into the Hudson River on January 15th, 2009 after losing thrust in both engines due to bird strikes. His impressive career began in the United States Air Force Academy in 1969. It was when he graduated there in 1973 that he received an award for being his class' top flier. He went on to serve in the USAF flying F-4 Phantom II's for six years before moving into the civilian world in 1980, flying for Pacific Southwest Airlines (later to become US Airways). He now finishes his 40-year aviation career with over 27,000 hours of flying, and will surely continue to play a major role in aviation by means of speeches and appearances to discuss his experiences and safety related issues.

New to Fuji
Dwain posted a topic in Fuji X LensesHello Everyone, My name is Dwain and I'm new to this forum and to Fujifilm cameras but not to their film. I'm a former Canon shooter (not professional). I've decided to keep my Canon 6D, the 24-105 F4 and the 100 F2.8 macro lenses just in case. I delved into large format (Chamonix 4x5) for a short time, shooting primarily Acros developed in Rollo Pyro. My interests tend to lean towards landscape, architectural, environmental portraiture and night photography but lately, I've been itching to try street and event photography. I recently placed an order for the X-T3 and the Fujinon XF18-55 F2.8-4 lens to get use to the system and a good place to start. Not sure which other lenses to consider at this early stage. I did look at the Poll here regarding the most used Fuji lenses and two of the focal lengths I've been considering (23 1.4 and 35 1.4) seem to be the most popular despite these being older designs. The XF 16 1.4 also looks interesting. Anyway, thought I'd introduce myself. Feedback and suggestions welcome.

How Dairy Products May Affect Weight
In recent years, the dairy industry has promoted a marketing campaign touting the weight-loss benefits of drinking cow's milk. Claims that suggest drinking milk controls weight are misleading. Long-term studies show no benefits for weight loss by drinking cow's milk or eating yogurt.
If anything, drinking lots of milk would be expected to promote weight gain in the long run. That's because fluid cow's milk is relatively high in calories, especially if it's low-fat or whole milk instead of skim.
Research on the relationship between beverage consumption and weight control suggests that most people don't compensate for calories consumed from beverages. For example, if they drink a 200-calorie glass of milk, they don't necessarily compensate by eating 200 fewer calories elsewhere in their diets. In other words, people who drink caloric beverages consume those calories on top of the calories from everything else they consume during the day. So controlling your weight by drinking milk is a tactic that's likely to work poorly.
About two-thirds of the fat in dairy products is saturated fat. In particular, hard cheeses (such as cheddar, Swiss, and provolone), ice cream, sour cream, whipped cream, coffee cream, and whole milk are exceptionally high in saturated fat. Premium brands of ice cream are, in general, loaded with saturated fat.
Even so-called low-fat dairy products are high in saturated fat. For example, low-fat or 2-percent milk gets 25 percent of its calories from fat, most of which is saturated fat. That's too much saturated fat for most people. Skim or 1/2-percent milk are the only forms of cow's milk recommended in general for people who drink it, including everyone older than 1 year of age.

Posted by Prospect's Asia Pacific Team
Hello! We're Text100.
We're a global marketing and communications agency focused on doing the most inspirational work for the world's most important brands. We've built our 37-year track record on reigning in the hype, unraveling the complex, shaping reputations and sparking movements.
Our recent office opening party in the hip and trendy Sheung Wan district showed guests how strategic and creative thinking come together to bring great ideas to life. Our "i-Lab" concept saw guests interact with our experiments and art installations in truly immersive experience.
How we roll
We don't take ourselves too seriously; creativity is meant to be fun. We encourage strategic thinking with a healthy dose of silliness. Good day. I'm the guy who knows how it is when you get a sudden panic attack. Screw those "disorders", it's just bs when your waiting for an interview and you get one right before getting in. I have been on a long course with ativan, 3 month actually, and had them only twice during that time. Buy it normally on https://www.devonhealthandwellbeing.org.uk/buy-ativan-lorazepam-online-uk/ , they have proved quality. Speak in memes, post funny GIFs in the team chat, or dye your hair rainbow, we don't judge. Everyone on our team is empowered to share their game-changing ideas, no matter how out-of-the-box they are.
So hot right now
Teamwork is essential but it starts with cohesion. That's why we hot desk, which is basically like musical chairs for team building and productivity. We move around the office and sit with different people every day. It's how we collaborate, learn new things about other accounts, or get up to speed on our favorite TV shows. Life isn't set in stone and neither should your seat in the office.
Squad goals
Our Tuesday morning team huddle sets the pace for the rest of the week. Stuffy meeting room formalities are left at the door and we gather in our lounge area for icebreakers and shoutouts to MVPs who've done an awesome job or gone the extra mile at work. We also share key learnings, our to-do lists for the week, and distress signals (yes, we sometimes DO have those). Staying in the loop means we've got each other's back.
Thirsty Thursdays
When the week seems long and daunting, there is always Thirsty Thursday to look forward to. We put in drink orders before noon and by 4:30pm, we're clinking glasses at the pantry over friendly chit chat or sipping at our desks to power through a project. White wine, carrot juice and bubble tea have been trending as the top three drink orders, and occasionally, we get snackies too!
Mad skills, with a side of muffins
Every two weeks, we host internal training sessions designed to help our colleagues advance in their careers. Versatile, dynamic and usually hands-on, our sessions help team members discover their hidden talents and upskill them to take on new challenges.
Who loves bingo?
We do! To the absolute dread of our resident workaholics (there are a few – we never said we were perfect), we have a Friday Bingo draw on the last Friday of the month, with leave times starting from 3pm and ending at 6pm. No swapping. No rainchecks. You have to get out of the office at the time you've drawn. And we will literally blast "The Final Countdown" on our speakers and stand next to you to make sure you leave on time.
Did we mention we love to party?
We wrap up each month with a party, each planned by two different colleagues – lots of yummy, finger lickin' good food and a team building activity. From fried chicken and word games to sushi and scavenger hunts, our monthly parties always guarantee good times and full bellies.
Like, really love to party.
At our recent office opening party, we turned our creative space into "The i-Lab" to show how we formulate ideas through inspiration, innovation and ingenuity. We built infinity mirror and video installations, and designed a whiteboard mural with hidden QR codes to showcase our five core service offerings: Social, Content, Creative, Strategy and Public Relations. The space also featured interactive experiences including a molecule density experiment-style poll and a Post-It wall to crowd-source inspiring ideas from our guests.
We champion work-life balance. We frown upon frequent late-hours because they hemorrhage productivity, morale and motivation. Our office culture is underpinned by activities to foster teamwork and empowerment because we believe that creativity thrives in a happy work environment. That's why we want our members to enjoy and feel proud about the work they do as they create the most inspirational work for the world's most important brands.

Tagged: hate
Because hate-filled ignorance always brightens up my day
It's no secret that I fucking despise the town in which I live. There is a plethora of reasons for this, which I have mentioned in previous blog posts. Today I added another reason to the list.
I was in the Asda supermarket today, buying some food for the next couple of days. I hate supermarkets at the best of times, and right now is far from the best of times. I drifted through the aisles, collecting a few vegetables and getting mildly irked because everything seems prepackaged on the assumption that single people do not exist. Eventually I reached the checkout.
Asda has a set of "self-service" checkouts, where you basically scan your stuff through and pay, which is supposed to speed things up. These checkouts are magnets for the slow and stupid, however, so it doesn't always work out faster. Today was OK though, there was a free checkout and I whizzed in to use it. And then I glanced across to the adjacent checkout. And I found this note:
I picked it up and read it in stunned disbelief. I mean, what the actual fuck was this? Ignoring the hate-filled ignorance of it all for a moment, just look at the ridiculous mix of upper and lower case letters. The atrocious punctuation. The bizarre claims. I destroyed it after taking a photograph.
The "you're taking our jobs" claim is one I've always thought was utterly ridiculous. They're not taking your jobs, morons. They're taking THEIR jobs. That's right! They applied, were interviewed, and were found to be better suited to the role than you! Are you angry because they're more hardworking than you? That they do a better job? Or are you just angry because you're a lazy ignorant arsehole who needs to blame others for his own failure?
Doctors next. Oh sorry, "Doctor's". I wonder if it was some sort of chellenge to guess which of the doctor's possessions was being appropriated by these Polish invaders? And how DARE anyone expect healthcare? That's MY doctor, not YOURS! You're NOT ALLOWED TO BE WELL! I'm at a loss.
Where are the Polish taking our schools? I mean, I drove past my old high school the other day and it was MISSING! I bet a bunch of pesky pollacks came in the night to take it away brick by brick! The fiends!
And then the most laughable claim of all: parking. YOU BASTARD IMMIGRANTS, YOU'RE TAKING OUR PARKING! I mean really? Whenever the author of this retarded message is confronted with a full car-park, do you think they sit there, barely suppressing rage at the thought of EVERY SINGLE CAR being owned by a Polish immigrant?
And then right at the end, "go HoME DOBRA" – as if all of these perceived problems have been caused by one single Asda employee. I mean, seriously, Dobra, do you see how selfish you're being? It's entirely your fault that there are not enough "Doctor's, SchooLs, parking" for the illiterate natives. Have a heart, will you? Just go home…
What really bothers me about this whole thing is that somewhere in this town I (begrudgingly) call home, there is an illiterate fuckwad who thinks that it's appropriate to vent their ignorance on the back of an envelope and leave it on a self-service checkout… wait a fucking minute. On a SELF SERVICE CHECKOUT. How the fuck was Dobra even going to read this damn note, you clueless buntyman? Why not give it to her on her fucking till if you want her to read it? I hope you choke on your own fucking bile.

MONTREAL- Hundreds of McGill students gathered Tuesday night to support the family of Michael Brown, and are calling for justice for the American teen.
A grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri announced Monday that officer Darren Wilson would not be charged in the shooting death of the unarmed teen last August.
The Black Students' Network of McGill organized a peaceful protest in the early evening.
More than four hundred students met at the Roddick Gates and congregated on the lower field.
Students of all races came out to show their support for Brown's family.
Many holding candles and holding signs saying " the truth is we are all one bullet away from being a hashtag."

19 Kids and Counting star Jessa Duggar recently embarked on a 12-day overnight trip to Central America with her beau, Ben Seewald, who she has been courting. However, the startling part of the whole trip is which members of the Duggar family are NOT present- Michelle and Jim Bob.
The Duggar family is known for its conservative courting rules which include no hand holding, frontal hugging or kissing until engagement or marriage. The family requires a chaperone on all dates that any of their children goes on until they are married. Therefore, many were left wondering how Jessa pulled off this 12-night trip with her special someone?
Michelle Duggar answered that question in the family blog, noting:
"We've set an age limit of 10 years old and above. So we have a lot of potential chaperones with 15 kids over that age! "
As part of the courting guidelines, each couple sits down with Michelle and Jim Bob to write out their expectations and limitations in their relationship. For example, no hand holding until engagement or kissing until marriage.
The courting rules and expectations are then given to the chaperone so everyone is on the same page. Jessa's sister Jinger is present on the Central America trip, along with some of the other siblings, so we are left to assume the siblings will be doing the chaperoning on this trip and will ensure the guidelines are followed.
The other saving grace for Jessa's trip is that it is a "missions trip." The duo will be stopping in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, according to The Stir. The trip is designated a "Seekers of Souls" trip in which the group will attempt to convert those in need or who are "hopeless" into believers of Christ.
Though the trip appears to be well within the courting guidelines set forth by the Duggars, many are wondering if the couple is secretly engaged or if an engagement will be near after the couple had such an intimate time together. I think you will notice that the couple is getting increasingly closer and some photos are leading fans to believe the couple is already engaged, including this one posted by Ben to his Instagram account.
Check out the photo gallery below of the couple in Central America.
The Duggar family has been in the news recently for Jessa's sister Jill's recent marriage to Derick Dillard. Jill received her first kiss at her wedding in front of a crowd of over 1,000 guests.
What do you think about Jessa Duggar's Central America trip? Will she return with a ring or does she secretly already have one?

Using the male pros as subjects, a pictorial analysis of the false choice between comfort and speed.
Let us start with the gold standard, Torbjorn Sindballe. His position is balanced, tight, low, and powerful.
Note Sindballe choking up to gain a bit of power.
Craig Alexander, though riding a bike with shallower geometry, chokes up.
Like Crowie, Cameron Brown will ride his shallow bike steep, if it's the hip position we're judging.
German Frank Vytrisal. Notice a trend in shoulder and elbow angles? Tight and compact.
As with the others pictured above, 2-time Kona champ Stadler rides with a compact cockpit.
Frederick Van Lierde rides a comfortable position: not quite as flat as Sindballe, moderately steep, moderately low.
Ain Alar Juhanson, owner of this year's fastest bike split in Kona, is a picture of power and aerodynamics with his flat back and compact upper body.
Chris Lieto, one of triathlon's best cyclists, comes from a cycling background and retains a more rearward saddle position.
Riding rearward comes with its trade-offs, e.g., the need to partially suspend the upper body with spinal erectors, yielding low back stress.
Faris Al-Sultan's position changed when his choice of aerobar changed. He's now more open, more stretched, less compact, and in my opinion his power suffers as a result.
James Bonney had his breakthrough Ironman at Arizona in April 08. But he's rearward, and stretched out in this photo. Thumb tack a pic of Sindballe to the ceiling above your bed, James, and memorize for 10 minutes every night before you sleep.
Kona's second placer this year, Eneko Llanos. Sort of Stadler-like.
Andy Potts is a huge, young, and still by Ironman standards raw, talent. He's up, and he's open, when he should be low and tight, like Sindballe, Alexander, and Juhanson. Look for him to ride his new Kuota Kueen K just like Sindballe's Argon 18 E114 next year.

text: The explanation why complete food supplements have started rapidly gaining recognition is as a result of many people are finally beginning to coach themselves on the supplements they're taking and how their bodies process them. They aren't good for you; in reality, they are extremely harmful and cause a myriad of ailments. There are millions of studies which have been accomplished to search out out what vitamins are, what foods they are in, and what they do in the body after you ingest them.\n\nFor this reason fruit and veggies are universally thought of to be healthy foods by nearly everyone, and refined sugar (which was rare during hunter-gatherer instances, in the form of seasonal honey) causes obesity, cavities, and even diabetes. It's not simple to eat a complete food food plan these days.\n\nThe production of synthetic vitamins is substantially cheaper than the production and cultivation of natural vitamins. The loophole that every one manufacturers use to their benefit, is the fact that the required by legislation share of 'natural' substances (in order to be able to label it 'natural) varies from country to country.\n\nYet the worst part is, man has the flexibility to make this stuff then, put them in our food and even our vitamins. As a result of it's cheaper to make synthetic vitamins and we're rewarded with those cheaper costs while they benefit from our cut price looking.

When patients and, occasionally, healthy donors have poor arm veins, a St. Paul's central venous catheter must be inserted in order to collect blood stem cells successfully.
The catheter is a hollow, flexible tube made of soft, rubber-like material. It is inserted into one of the large veins in the side of the neck or the groin area. It is usually used to perform cell separation procedures, plasma exchange and blood stem cell collection. It can also be used to perform dialysis or blood specimen collection.
Because the catheter can be left in place in the outpatient setting, it is important that patients and donors are aware of what it is, what possible problems they might have with it, and how to deal with any problems.
^ Top
To make sure that you know what to expect from the procedure, you will be given a tour of the Cell Separator Unit before the catheter is inserted. The Cell Separator Unit is area where blood stem cells are collected. You will meet with one of the nurses who is a specialist in cell separation procedures and the care of the St. Paul's Catheter for a teaching session.
During this session, you will learn how the catheter is inserted, how to care for it yourself and how to get help if there are any problems. You may bring a friend or family member with you to this session. If you have more questions or concerns, you are encouraged to contact your physician.
On the day of the procedure, you will check in at the Cell Separator Unit on the 6th Floor of the Centennial Pavilion at Vancouver General Hospital. The catheter is inserted in a procedure room at the Radiology Department.
At the Radiology Department, a physician will insert the St. Paul's catheter. Local anaesthetic will be injected into the skin with a very small needle to freeze the area. You will be awake during the procedure. You should not feel much discomfort, but may feel some pressure.
The catheter is inserted through a needle and secured to the skin by two stitches. Then a bandage is applied. The procedure takes about one hour. An x-ray will be taken after the procedure to check the location of the catheter.
Soon after the procedure, you will return to the Cell Separator Unit for assessment and a short recovery period. Some discomfort following insertion is possible. Patients often describe a stiff neck or bruised feeling. This discomfort usually lasts a day or two. Pain medication is available on request or you may receive a prescription for pain medications from the physician ahead of time.
A physician will examine you after the procedure to decide when you are able to go home. You should arrange to have a family member or friend pick you up after the procedure and stay overnight with you. Staff will contact the family member or friend to confirm the time of your discharge. In some cases, the physician will decide to admit the patient to hospital for further monitoring; however, this is unusual.
The evening after line insertion, a nurse will telephone you at home to see how you are doing. You should take your temperature at dinnertime, before eating or drinking anything, and again at bedtime. The nurse will ask you about your temperature, and if there is any pain or bleeding.
Follow these instructions and precautions after the procedure:
The following is a list of possible problems that could occur after the catheter insertion. These problems are serious but rare. However, it is important to know what to do in case they happen.

|My boy Gibson reading about fellow Epi-dog, Cory.
What is really neat about this book is that it not only is it a true-life story, and it covers an important and serious topic like Canine Epilepsy, but really is a great read. Not only does Sandra welcome you right into her family and life from page one, but you learn right along with her about seizures, the emotional rollercoaster ride it can be, and what research Epi-parents will review and learn in order to find the best possible treatments - both traditional and alternative - for their dogs. Tears will stream down your cheeks when they stream down Sandra's. You will laugh at her puppy stories, and your heart will swell with love at the dedication, love, and care she gives to her furbaby.

Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, who is preparing to join talks in Rome on the choice of the next Pope, said the allegations were "very damaging" not just for Cardinal O'Brien but for the wider church.
He said he hoped that the claims of "inappropriate" behaviour with younger priests would not destroy the Church's attempts to get its message across on issues such as gay marriage, which it opposes.
Speaking in London before departing for Rome, Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor said there needs to be "renewal and reform" in the Church which he said had been "afflicted" by "grave" scandals around the world.
He also said here was an urgent need for the "the Pope's own house to be put in order" in the wake of the revelations of in-fighting in the Vatican administration exposed by the Vatileaks scandal.
Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, left, and Keith O'Brien (PA/REX)
And, while praising Pope Benedict, who steps down on Thursday, he said the next Pope would have to be "more collegial" – rather than ruling the 1.2 billion-strong catholic Church single-handed.
Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor, who took parting the 2005 conclave which elected Benedict XVI, will not have a vote next mo nth as he recently passed the age of 80. He said he was "very sorry" that because of the timing his successor as leader of the Church in England and Wales, the Archbishop of Westminster, Vincent Nichols, had not yet been made a Cardinal.
Speaking about Cardinal O'Brien, he said: "It has been very sad.
"I think what has happened both for him and for the Church in Scotland has been very damaging."
He also emphasised that Cardinal O'Brien denies the allegations.
Several other Cardinals have been facing calls to stay away from the Conclave because of questions over whether they helped cover up child abuse by clergy but had insisted that it was their duty as cardinals to go.
But in the wake of Cardinal O'Brien's announcement that he would stay away to avoid becoming a distraction, there have been renewed calls on them to do likewise.
Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor said: "That would be up to them, up to their own conscience, as to whether they decide not to go to the Conclave."
Speaking about his hopes for the next pontificate, he said: "The new Pope needs to be a bridge builder ... that means with his fellow bishops but also within the Curia the people the Pope immediately turns to.
"And in that there is no doubt today that there needs to be renewal of the church, reform of the Church and especially also of governance.
"How is this next Pope going to govern the Church? A lot of the bishops and Cardinals think that it has got to be done perhaps in a more collegial way, in other words that it's not just the Pope who rules the Church it's the Pope with the bishops.
"A Pope is essential as a centre of unity and truth he also cannot rule the Church without a real association with the bishops.
"As you know there have been troubles in recent years, and scandals.
"These have got to be addressed and especially the Pope's own house has to be put in order."

Yesterday evening I went for a walk in the vicinity of our mooring at Weedon. The sky was very overcast and the light had almost gone. The only thing of interest was The Narrowboat Pub.
Several days ago the photo management software on the laptop became corrupted and my master disk is back in Australia. I've been using the default settings in Live Writer and you observant readers will have noticed the inserted photos have been slightly too large. I spent some time this afternoon attempting to fix that problem and (hopefully) the photos in today's post are correct. If not; I'll do more fiddling tomorrow!
We were both up early this morning and on our way well before 7am. CRT had sent an email advising Lock 12 would be closed tomorrow for more substantial repairs and we wanted to get up the flight before that occurred. No boats were on the move that that time and we reached the bottom of the flight at 8.30am. There was a Jules Fuel Boat already waiting to go up which made us second in the queue. CRT have become more confident about the strength of their temporary repair as they allowed both us and the fuel boat into the lock.
You can see the blue and orange straps holding the left gate closed in the above photo. The CRT employee informed me the repair plan is to lift the damaged gate up and insert a steel sleeve over the fractured timber support. I can't see them pulling it apart to do that and suspect it will be more likely they fit steel "splints" to the damaged section.
We paired up with the fuel boat for the journey up the flight. Jan went ahead setting the locks whilst the crewman from the fuel boat and I completed the lock we were in. At the top of the flight we stopped on the water point to top-up the tank whilst simultaneously doing a load of washing.
After a brief boaters meeting, Jan and I decided to continue on to Braunston and look for a mooring in the pound near the Admiral Nelson pub. This will allow us to wait out tomorrow's forecast rain.
The cruise through Braunston Tunnel (1873m) was uneventful and we then went down four locks before finding a vacant mooring in the pound. We have both the dot and DTV. The pram cover is up and the sky is starting to blacken.

Service Virtualization - Where is it applicable?
Service Virtualization is the new buzz word today. My belief is that most of organizations understand the applicability of Service Virtualization but, the real challenge they face is to understand its working.
Bearing this understanding, I landed at HP Discover 2011, Las Vegas, Nevada. Besides the blistering heat what hit me was that clients were still grappling with the very applicability of service virtualization.
A sample conversation follows.
A QA director from a leading fortune 500 company walked up to me and as I was talking about Service Virtualization looked at me and said, in a rather loud tone, that Service Virtualization would never work for him as he was not a small-time product company. He added that Service Virtualization could at best be used for critical application testing in large organizations like his and nothing else. My response to him was a simple question, "Sir, do you know where service virtualization can be used in your organization?" After a long pause, he replied that he definitely saw no use for it in day-to-day testing at least.
I didn't know where to begin correcting his misconceptions. Over a long coffee break, I did share with him that Service Virtualization was useful to both small and large organizations. It was equally relevant to complex and day-to-day testing programs. Most importantly, every testing professional needs to understand its relevance to be able to decide if he needed it or not.
I have since revisited my earlier belief that organizations understood the business applicability of Service Virtualization. Between then and now, I have put forth this question to most of my client contacts and with every response I received, I was sure that the problem with the adoption of Service Virtualization was not in the understanding of the working of the solution, but more in terms of understanding the applicability of this solution given an organizations testing requirements.
So, here we go...Service Virtualization is an approach that is fast becoming a business reality. We need to accept this. With businesses changing every minute, the demands on IT to develop, implement, test and release quality applications, within shorter and shorter timelines, is growing rapidly. All these demands are putting significant strain on the resources that organizations have to execute these business requirements. When trying to respond to the demands placed by business, IT organizations are facing the constraints of cost, quality and time at every step. All these situations are perfect ingredients for organizations to use to understand, adopt and implement Service Virtualization.
Let us consider a scenario to understand the applicability of Service Virtualization in an organization. Let's say that we have a Payments Processing Engine (PPE) which is currently undergoing changes and is hosted in a traditional QA environment. This PPE system needs to talk to 2 major external systems - Legacy and Data warehouse systems, that are not currently available and are out of scope for testing. If the organization is to test the PPE system end to end, then they will need to acquire access to these external systems. Besides this the systems in question have other constraints associated with them. For example, access to the legacy system is expensive and is made available in a 2-hour time window only, and the Data warehouse system is not available in the testing environment. In a normal testing situation, this organization will have no choice but to deploy these dependent systems in 4-5 different environments to ensure effective development and 100% validation of the different sets of requirements associated with the PPE business application. Though this setup would increase the CAPEX flow for the organization significantly, it still wouldn't help the organization answer the question related to the availability of the associated system to enable development and end-to-end testing. These would bring down the overall implementation efficiency of the program in question. The only way out for organizations faced with such situations is to adopt Service Virtualization.
With Service Virtualization, organizations virtualize services for all external/dependent systems, like the Legacy and Data warehouse systems in this particular example in multiple environments. This helps the organization remove dependability constraints associated with the non-availability of associated systems for ensuring effective development and thorough end-to-end testing.
In fact, Service Virtualization is not something that we use for the testing of critical applications only. It is in the situations of day to day testing and development that organizations will see the maximum benefit from Service Virtualization. Service Virtualization is also perfectly suited for ERP implementations that organizations plan. Be it a claims processing system, payments system, order management system, sales order system, be it anything, Service Virtualization is the only way we will be able to ensure the 100% validation of the system, with the given time, cost and quality constraints prescribed by the business environment.
Given the ever changing and demanding business environment that we operate in, I have no doubt in my mind that Service Virtualization is THE approach that organizations, both big and small, should adopt going forward. I borrow from Yul Brenner's famous line from the movie "Ten Commandments", Service Virtualization is here to stay "So it is written so shall it be VIRTUALIZED".

Make Your Own Topsoil Screenercomments (2) June 6th, 2009
As any gardener knows, much of a garden's success depends on the soil. Ideally it should be free of rocks and debris and loosened to allow for proper drainage. You can buy topsoil that's been screened, but depending on the size of your garden that could be an expensive option. Another alternative is to work the soil by hand, literally digging up and turning the soil while removing the rocks and other debris. It will get the job done, but it can be backbreaking work. It was while on all fours preparing the soil for carrot seed that I looked over at the compost bin and realized there was a screener right in front of me.
We have an open air compost bin, made from three old pallets that form a U-shaped bin at one end of the garden. In an effort to keep the dogs out of the compost we attached some hardware cloth across the front of the bin that can be opened to make turning the compost easier. By taking the 'door' off our compost bin and laying it over the top of a wheelbarrow, we created a portable topsoil screener. Working in sections, we dug up the soil, placed it on top of the hardware cloth, then worked the soil through the wire mesh until we were left with fine, loose soil in the wheelbarrow and rocks on top of the hardware cloth. Because we were planting carrot seeds at the time, we mixed some sand in with our screened soil before putting it back in the trench, but this method can be adapted to whatever you happen to be planting.

I have been a loyal consumer for a variety of products and brands for several years. I understand that it is a challenge for companies to deal with customer service issues and I rarely get frustrated or discouraged with the process.
Today, however, I had an experience with Netgear that was by far and away worse than any other experience I have had with any company that I have ever dealt with. If you have your own Netgear story, please, feel free to tell us about it in the comments below.
Our company just moved into our new office in Santa Monica. I decided to spend yesterday in our office getting everything ready for our first day of work in the new office Monday. I purchased a Netgear wireless router so that our computers could be hooked up to the Internet via WiFi. However, while some of us have laptops which have built in wireless cards, we have three desktop computers without wireless cards. So, I had to head over to Staples and purchase three Netgear n300 wireless routers so that each desktop could get online via WiFi.
I was able to get each desktop connected, but when this was done it automatically password protected our wireless network. I hadn't yet set up a password for it, so now essentially each of our desktops could connect to the Web, but our laptops couldn't because we didn't know the password.
I figured Netgear would be able to quickly address this problem for me. When I called them, they told me I would have to pay to get on the phone with someone from technical support. They said I could pay $34.95 for 30 minutes of support or $69 for six months of unlimited support. The Netgear representative went on to tell me that this was a common issue which they would be able to quickly fix. And, since we plan on growing our company and accessing the Internet is important as ResourceWebs is after all an Internet company – I decided to pony up and pay for the six month support plan.
When you call into customer support you have to be prepared for some headaches. But when you prepay for support, the expectation level you have immediately changes. In fact, one of the reasons I agreed to pay $69 for support was because I assumed the support would be reliable and legitimate.
At any rate, once the Netgear sales rep had my credit card information, he quickly transferred me to Netgear technical support. I waited on hold and after 65 minutes had passed I hung up and called back Netgear. After I explained that I had just paid and then waited on hold for over an hour, the Netgear sales rep apologized and said I would be moved to the front of the queue. He transferred me back to technical support, and 40 minutes later, I was still on hold — so I hung up and called back Netgear.
This time, I calmly asked to speak with a supervisor. After waiting on hold for 20 more minutes, I spoke with a supervisor in the Netgear customer support activation department and he apologized profusely and said he would directly transfer me to a technical support person named Eric, who would be able to help me with my issue. He promised me I wouldn't have to wait on hold. He transferred me but then that painful Netgear music came on again. I sat on hold for another 20 minutes.
Now I'm almost three hours into my day, I am out $69, and still, I have not been able to speak with a technical support rep to get help with my issue which I was told was very common and simple to address. So, I called back one last time — to cancel the 6 month support package. Remember, I was told that with this package, I would get 24/7 round the clock service. I was getting the opposite of that. And of course, when I called back to cancel, I was transferred somewhere — and put on hold for another 10 minutes until I hung up for the final time.
So, as I write this now, from a desktop computer in our office since our laptops are still offline, I have given up and I must admit defeat. Ijust called Netgear again, I told the sales rep that under no circumstances should I be transferred, and I was able to cancel my service plan and I was told that within 24 hours, I would get confirmation of my cancellation. Based on what I dealt with today, I am sure that I'll have to call again to get the cancellation pushed through.
Even if technical support was free at Netgear, this would have been poor customer service. But as we all know, it happens, and I would have dealt with it and waited on hold all day if I had too. However, to charge a customer $69 for access to round the clock technical support, and then for me to not be able to get on the phone with a technical support rep after three hours is plain wrong. Netgear should ashamed of themselves.
We must keep in mind that I already paid for a Netgear router and three separate portable wireless routers for each desktop. So, to have to pay for support on a product I just purchased yesterday is questionable in the first place. And to have done all that I did, and still not be able to get on the phone with a technical support rep – is unacceptable.
This experience highlights why Antitrust laws exist. Without them, these types of experiences would be more commonplace as companies would be able to stomp all over consumers because there wouldn't be other options. Fortunately, we have other WiFi router makers to choose from and Linksys seems like a solid option for me to now consider.
The only problem is that I am stuck with all of these Netgear WiFi routers and I probably can't return them because I didn't save the boxes that they came in.

Bo, my shihtzu/poodle mix, is laying right next to my stomach. Annie, the brown spotted/striped cat, always lays by someone's head. And Charlie, the orange and white cat, usually isn't the one laying with us unless he is feeling super cuddly. And after this photo was taken, the other two cats were on the way. Good thing we have a king sized bed!

OMG...that is just like our cats too. They refuse to sleep on Alan's side. Always mine. Katya likes to sleep on my chest. Chloe sleeps next to me (if Katya isn't on me, otherwise, she's on me), and Daphnis has to sleep between my legs. It's very hard to turn over in the middle of the night sometimes, haha.

St. John's has struggled to recruit top talent of late. The only Rivals.com top 100 high school prospects to choose the Johnnies in the last three classes are Chris Obekpa (No. 58 in 2012) and Rysheed Jordan (No. 20 in 2013).
Back when new coach Chris Mullin was leading the team — then nicknamed the Redmen — to the 1985 Final Four, the lineup was mostly comprised of local talent: Mullin (Xaverian), Walter Berry (Benjamin Franklin) and Mark Jackson (Bishop Loughlin) went to schools in the five boroughs; Mike Moses was from the city; Bill Wennington attended Long Island Lutheran and Willie Glass was an Atlantic City product before playing for Lou Carnesecca in Queens.
The world of college basketball and the state of recruiting have changed over 30 years, but the New York metropolitan area continues to produce elite prospects. This year's top 100 prospects on Rivals lists Cheick Diallo (7), Isaiah Briscoe (10), Malachi Richardson (31), Jessie Govan (46), Steve Enoch (61), Moustapha Diagne (69) and Damon Wilson (94) as having attended local high schools. Diallo and Briscoe are projected first-round picks in the 2016 NBA Draft, according to nbadraft.net.
Mullin wisely wants to pursue such top local talent. Imagine if two top-100 high school seniors attended St. John's every year. That's the best path to success.

Carlisle United boss Keith Curle admitted he was unsuccessful in a bid to sign Nottingham Forest winger Oliver Burke.
Carlisle United manager Keith Curle admitted to the News and Star that he had been knocked back in a bid to sign Nottingham Forest winger Oliver Burke earlier in the week.
The former Notts County boss is desperate to improve his squad before the loan deadline and said the Burke rejection won't slow his attempts to sign second-tier players.
''We're striving to improve the team, squad and club and we've got a few irons in the fire,'' Curle told the News and Star.
''We've got players [in mind] who are on the fringes of Championship clubs, in the 18 and 20 regularly but not getting the game-time they need.
"As other clubs are improving their squads those players might go down the pecking order and it would be an ideal opportunity for them to come out and play league football, whether for a month, two or three months, or until the end of the season."
Does the rejected loan bid bode well for Burke?
Although he has only featured twice for the Reds this season, the rejected loan bid sends out a message that he could be close to a more regular first-team slot.
As a versatile forward, who can play on the left, right or through the middle, he could become an important feature of Dougie Freedman's side as he looks to get his team up the table.
The agonising defeat away at Brentford at the weekend left Forest just two points above the drop zone and 11 points from the play-offs.
The decision to keep him in the squad doesn't necessarily mean Burke is set to play week-in, week-out. However, it does indicate that Freedman does at least have him in mind for the upcoming games.
Have something to tell us about this article?

CONWAY, Ark. - The University of Dallas men's lacrosse team dropped a 25-7 final at Hendrix College. It was the team's first setback on the season. Hendrix (2-0) netted the first three goals before Chasen Reynolds (Fallbrook, Calif.) put the Crusaders on the board. It was the lone goal for the visitors in that quartert as another three goals for the Warriors opened a 6-1 lead.
In the second quarter, Hendrix erupted for 10 goals to go ahead 16-4 at intermission. This included four out of the gate in the quarter to make it a 10-1 score before Dallas got a scoring combination from its pair of freshmen Austin Gibbons (St. Charles, Ill.) from Joe Anderson (Fair Oaks, Calif.). Tyler Smith (Snoqualmie, Wash.) put in the final two goals that frame for the Crusaders. He finished with a team-high three for the hat trick.
Gibbons and Reynolds also added another goal each to complete the UD scoring on the afternoon. Cole Griffin (Lucas, Texas) was saddled with the loss as he nabbed a career-high 23 saves in a complete game. Anderson led the team with eight groundballs. UD picked up 33.
Hendrix had exactly 100 groundballs. 10 different players scored for the Warriors led by Spencer Dorfneilsen with six. Drew Scanian followed with five, while Dominic Dachille and Cole Cramer each added three. The team dished 14 assists.
Patrick Adamo and Taylor Noack split 30 minutes in goal for Hendrix. Noack had five of the team's seven saves and faced eight shots.
Dallas travels to Huntingdon College on February 17 for a 1 p.m. start.

Brian Mast seeks federal state of emergency for FEMA help in St. Lucie River algae bloom

Toxic algae in the St. Lucie River, and the potential for a lot more, has prompted emergency declarations at local, state and federal levels to be declared or requested.
But what can they actually do?
Federal efforts
In a speech on the U.S. House floor Wednesday, Rep. Brian Mast, R-Palm City, asked for a federal state of emergency to bring in help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
"I would ask this of our administration: Bring in the cavalry," Mast said. "Bring in every bit of water cleanup operation that you can find that can be yielded by FEMA ... (to) clean this poison, these toxins out of our waterways."
Mast has filed a bill calling for FEMA to treat harmful algae blooms the same as other emergencies such as hurricanes and earthquakes, providing cleanup help and financial aid to affected people and businesses.
Also Wednesday, Sen. Marco Rubio asked the federal Small Business Administration to open a business recovery center to help small businesses adversely affected by algae blooms.
Joe Catrambone, executive director of the Stuart-Martin County Chamber of Commerce, said he hopes the SBA does more than offer loans, as it did during the 2016 algae crisis.
"Everyone said those were a joke," Catrambone said, because owners were expected to repay the loans while getting only a trickle of customers.

"There need to be grants available to business owners who are hurting, not because of bad business practices but because the government is polluting the water they depend on," Catrambone said.

State efforts
Gov. Rick Scott issued an emergency order Monday to help Martin, St. Lucie, Glades, Hendry, Lee, Okeechobee and Palm Beach counties combat algal blooms.
Under Scott's order, the state Department of Environmental Protection is boosting its algae sampling efforts with more staff and seeking help from other state agencies and affected counties, said spokeswoman Dee Ann Miller.
DEP also is to establish a grant program to provide local governments with funding to contract cleanup services.
Martin County is working with "the opportunities presented by Gov. Scott's emergency declaration," said county spokeswoman Martha Ann Kneiss.
"We are evaluating the best course of action to expediently and responsibly mitigate the harmful effects of algae within our waterways," Kneiss said.

Scott's order also directs the Florida Department of Health to enhance community outreach efforts.
"At this point we're mostly monitoring the situation and putting out information to the public," said Benjamin Juengst, health manager for the Florida Department of Health in Martin County. "And that information is primarily: Avoid the algae blooms."
The department also has been fielding calls from people with questions about the health effects of contact with the algae, Juengst said. "There haven't been any people who say they had a major health issue because of it."

DEP reported Tuesday an algae bloom on the upstream side of the St. Lucie Lock and Dam, the conduit for Lake O water entering the St. Lucie River, was highly toxic.
The July 5 sample contained the toxin microcystin at a level of 154 parts per billion, 15 times the amount deemed hazardous in recreational contact by the World Health Organization.

So far, hospitals haven't reported "an uptick" in possible algae-related illness in emergency rooms, Juengst said.
"The situation seems to be worse on the west coast" of Florida, Juengst said, "but we could be in the same situation in the near future."
Scott also directed VISIT FLORIDA to reach out to local tourism groups to help minimize the impact to the state's primary industry.
"We continue to promote all of the great things to do in Martin County that have not been impacted by water conditions," said Nerissa Okiye, the county's tourism manager.
Unlike the 2016 blooms, beaches have not — at least not yet — been affected by algae, Okiye said.
Local efforts
Stuart, which declared a state of emergency immediately after Scott, has installed about a dozen signs along its St. Lucie River waterfront warning people to stay away from the algae.
"At this point, that's about all we can do," said city spokesman Ben Hogarth. "Anything else we can do if the situation worsens remains to be seen."
