Optix paper is one of several key products manufactured by Australian Paper and distributed by paper merchants Spicers Paper and CPI Paper. Optix has over 30 different colours (a spectrum of colour) across a range of weights. It has been some time since the paper has been any significant promotion. The client wanted to the studio to put in place an outcome that in effect relaunches the range.
In December 2009 we were charged to research, rethink and proposition Optix paper. The main theme we established is that – Optix of all the papers in the market place, is by its very nature a vibrant, exciting and visible stock, and it is these qualities we seek to celebrate.
The project saw the development of several technical printed, marketing and communication outcomes. The initial response was to identify printing techniques which performs well on the stock — strong line graphic and text. To enhance the effect of printing special and process colours on the paper it self. The quality of visibility was an idea that we presented across the whole promotion – in a new brand mark, a brand tag line, the printed pieces and to the ideas expressed in the pieces – A guide to the modern extrovert.
The Optix brand has a new proposition that invites designers to create communications that – stand out and be seen. The piece invites viewer to use colour to impress, have communications noticed and move away from boring white paper and have some fun!
It is a practical working print sample which explores ideas of how people stand and be seen in the community. The piece is printed and finished in four colour process, and in special colours on Optix 110gsm and 200gsm.
All components have been designed and manufactured in Australia, supported by the Australian Made logo which is available to go on any Optix printed piece your designers, printers or end users produce.
The printed piece is made up of five mini booklets that guide you on being an extrovert and propositions you on how you can stand out. Bound by an Optix ribbon, it is designed to inspire and showcase that printing on colour can add impact and the wow factor to end printed materials.
The entire suit of images and writing has been researched and developed by the Studio. Each piece irreverently explores, contrasts and re-purposes contemporary methods that exist in culture where people have stood out. These writings have been reworked and put into an Optix context, these include:
– Commercial product review or guide
– A journey in stardom
– A body of work or the development of a movement
– The How to get rich scenario
– Developing a manifesto, action, collective or association
To compliment the campaign the studio have developed a new website that explores colour, which also has information about Optix, along with a gallery documenting projects around the programme.
The project was printed by Gunn & Taylor, please visit this post to see the project coming off the press. The studio to save money is hand collating, fixing the Optix ribbon and stuffing in the custom made envelope.

Coffee Supreme charged the studio to develop a low cost map which outline their favourite coffee spots in Melbourne.
The aim is to publish maps biannually with updated and new locations, along with new themes and image making. Armed with a detailed map of Melbourne, images made by Andy Sargent from South South West, patience and a fixation for detail, the first bookish edition is on the streets looking for new owners and friends.
The trickiest part of the project was working out a system of plotting out scores of locations, mostly in concentrated clusters. To plot these locations we started with mapping websites such as whereis and google maps. A warning for designers is to check the location outcomes, in most instances the website plotted marks tens of metres away from the actual spot.
The piece starts out as an A6 and folds out to A2, it is printed in two on Tudor RP 100 recycled paper.
Thanks again to Andy, Coffee Supreme and Gunn & Taylor Printers. Pick up your copy at your local Café that chooses Supreme Coffee in Melbourne.No comments
The Colour Collective is a project developed by the Studio to illustrate how colour, applications and people, connects, is used, or amasses. The site keeps the words to a minimum and lets the images as an individual or collected outcome illustrate their point, or purpose. A little like a book shop, or library, the collection we are seeking to make is diverse, at all levels of interest and importance.
Our work with Optix paper motivated us to make this project happen. Along with gallery posts for Optix, an ongoing stream of ideas and workings documenting colour in action on our planet awaits.

The studio in association with AGDA is putting together the latest forty-eight event – an event is about supporting Australian creative people and celebrates the diversity of their output.
The theme loosely explores…
In 2010 we are asking speakers to respond to the idea of being at a crossroads, a significant moment, encounter or situation that brought about a change in direction or a clarification. Your crossroads could be a project, person or process that changed the way you work, the output you make. Throughout history many movements, outcomes and ideas have come about from a punctuated moment of inspiration or insight.
Our speakers this year cover the bredth of creativity art, design, film, and music (in alphabetical order), each speaker has a six minute slot of which fate and their stories, work and ideas dictate the rest.

Kangaroos, blow flies, koalas… if you want to discover an Australia that is beyond the tourism clichés, information can usually can be found on the edges, like in the libraries, the internet and on the radio.
This site features many posts that explore music. Music is a vital part of our studio environment, as well as being a constant source of inspiration. Our music play list tries to diverse, alternative, trashy, odd, seminal, kooky and noisy at all time – from Terry Riley, John Cage, Ian Dury, Warsaw, The Faces, Eddy Current, Townes Van Zandt to the Runaways. Any insights into the making and dreaming up of music is a constant source of ideas and inspiration.
It is a rare and real treat to encounter radio documentaries that explore the lesser known, yet highly revered corners of the Australian creativity. Do that Dance, is a two part radio documentary that explores that music that rose out of the inner suburbs of Sydney and Melbourne from 1977 to 1983.
Do That Dance – part 01 uncovered the Sydney scene and players. It inspiring 54 minutes highlighted a vital and exciting creative scene living, making and playing music post the Punk era. Inner Sydney at the time was a hub for a raft of new sounds with act the include The Severed Heads, Voit 465, Pel Mel, Tame O'Meares, Systematics to name a few.
The next installment is – Do That Dance – part 02 exploring the Melbourne scene and players. 2.30pm Sunday 25 July 2010, Radio National AM 631, in Melbourne or visit the ABC Radio National Hindsight website here for podcasts and details

Richard Feynman gives us a lecture on Quantum electrodynamcis, the theory of photons and electron interactions which incorporates his unique view of the fundamental processes that create it. one of the 3 winners of the 1965 Nobel prize in Physics for his work, Feynman is was an expert on quantum mechanics and developed the Path Integral formulation of Relativistic Quantum mechanics, used in Quantum Field Theory, interpreted the Born series of scattering amplitudes as vertices and Green's function propagators in his famous diagrams, the Feynman Diagrams, and also worked on the fundamental excitations in Liquid Helium leading to a correct model describing superfluidity using phonons, maxons and rotons to describe the various excitation curves.
other fields of work include the Feynman-Hellmann Theorem, which can relate the derivative of the total energy of any system to the expectation value of the derivative of the Hamiltonian under a single parameter, e.g volume.
he also worked on the Rogers Commission report during the investigation of the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, where Feynman famously demonstrated how the Booster Rocket O-rings, which are elastic sealing joints, became less resilient and subject to seal failures at ice-cold temperatures by immersing a sample of the material in a glass of ice water- his high intelligence and independant way of looking at the world often made him "a real pain" in the eyes of other, less skilled, Commission members.
Feynman's own investigation reveals a disconnect between NASA's engineers and executives that was far more striking than he expected. His interviews of NASA's high-ranking managers revealed startling misunderstandings of elementary concepts, such as safety proceedures.
Although Feynman got plenty of media coverage due to him being on the Commission, he was often told to stay quiet about NASA's more sinister secrets and tactics in space exploration.

Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes insists Graeme Shinnie has earned the opportunity to add to his Scotland cap tally against Belgium and Albania.
And he wants his skipper to make the most of any chance in the Hampden double header to further strengthen his position within Alex McLeish's Scots set-up.
The 27-year-old Reds captain was called into national boss McLeish's squad for the summer friendlies in South America.
Shinnie cancelled his stag trip to Marbella to join the squad and was rewarded with a debut cap when coming on as substitute in the 1-0 loss to Peru in Lima.
The Aberdonian then earned his second cap days later when starting in the 2-0 friendly loss to Mexico in front of more than 70,000 fans at the Estadio Azteca.
The squad for the South American trip was minus many regulars including players from Celtic. And McInnes hailed Shinnie for retaining his spot in McLeish's squad.
He said: "Hopefully Graeme can continue to establish himself with Scotland not only through training with them but out on the pitch with game time.
"With the squad Graeme was involved in at the end of last season there were a lot of the Celtic players and established players left out.
"It was an opportunity for Graeme to go and show Alex his capability through his training and through games.
"He has obviously done that and has also started the season well for us, especially in the two games against Burnley in the Europa League.
"He was very influential in those games against Burnley.
"Graeme has got the recognition for that by remaining in the squad and I am delighted for him."
Shinnie is the only Aberdeen player in McLeish's Scotland squad that will face World Cup semi-finalists Belgium tonight.
That friendly is a warm-up for the UEFA Nations League opener against Albania on Monday.
Aberdeen centre-back Scott McKenna would have been named in the squad if fit.
However, the 21-year-old missed out with a hamstring tear that has ruled him out of Aberdeen's last four games.
McInnes anticipates McKenna, who captained Scotland in the 2-0 loss to Mexico, to return immediately after the international break.
The subject of a rejected £7 million transfer deadline day bid from Aston Villa, centre-back McKenna is set to return for the trip to St Johnstone on Saturday September 15.
McInnes hopes club captain Shinnie can face a Belgium side packed with world class talents such as Eden Hazard (Chelsea), Romelu Lukaku (Manchester United), Marouane Fellaini (Manchester United) and Vincent Kompany (Manchester City).
He reckons facing opponents of that calibre can only help Shinnie's own game improve.
McInnes said: "Any time you go away to be involved with your country is a brilliant experience.
"Graeme will be involved with some of the countries' top players.
"Then he will also hopefully get the games on top of that.
"Ideally he can get game time against Belgium and Albania.
"Belgium have some top class players involved and all of that is great for any player's development."
McInnes and Aberdeen aim to tie up skipper Shinnie on an extended contract.
The midfielder's current deal expires at the end of this season and Shinnie would be free to speak with any interested club from the start of the winter transfer window on January 1.
McInnes recently confirmed he would sit down with Shinnie and his agent to try to thrash out a new extended contract.
The Aberdeen gaffer also confirmed he has been in regular contact with McLeish regarding Scotland internationalists.
He said: "I spoke to Alex after the two Scotland games in the summer and a few times since.
"Graeme has made a good impression and it is great to see him in the squad."

One Lot of Seven Medieval Issues, Look!
Top/ 2 Ottoman Silver obols, 1 Hungary silver denar and 1 hammered silver Friesacher Pfenning ca. 12 Cent.*
Bottom/ Bela III and ???. Just guessing the center coin is maybe Maria Theresa?
* Friesacher Pfennig was in the Middle Ages – demonstrably from about 1166, but probably already at 1125/30 – one of the most important means of payment in the area of present-day Austria.
The silver coins are named after the town of Friesach in Carinthia, where the archbishops of Salzburg (probably in the time of Archbishop Konrad I, who reigned from 1106 to 1147) set up a mint in the vicinity of a silver mine located there. In the second half of the 12th century the archbishop was often depicted on the front of the coin, and two steeple tops were shown on the reverse side.
Have fun cleaning and attributing!

RPCV Kyle Kopitke relocates National Korean War Museum from Hawaii to Nebraska
RPCV Kyle Kopitke relocates National Korean War Museum from Hawaii to Nebraska
Pain, pride of Korea kept alive An abandoned nursing home in Oxford, Neb., now houses memories of the "forgotten war"
Apr 13, 2005 - Omaha World-Herald
OXFORD, Neb. -- A grass-roots museum of America's "forgotten war" has found a new home in a long-closed nursing home in this farming village.
Now the challenge will be to persuade visitors to venture 40 miles off Interstate 80 to visit the National Korean War Museum, dedicated Tuesday before about 350 people.
"It's off the beaten track, we know, but it's getting more and more news coverage," said Jack Kurtenbach of Kearney, an Army veteran of the Korean War who is a museum volunteer. "As great as it is, it's going to take some support."
It is a decidedly low-budget, low-tech museum. The abandoned rest home cost $100,000, and veterans and their families donated the 5,000 exhibits.
The rooms of the 40,000-square foot nursing home have been turned into 38 "galleries"--a reference to the 38th parallel that divides North and South Korea. The walls of the rooms are covered with photographs, uniforms, flags, letters and newspaper articles telling stories of specific battles, units and branches of the services involved in Korea.
If emotion and powerful memories translate into money, the museum -- built by volunteer labor -- has a pretty good chance.
Tears filled the eyes of several Korean War veterans as they swapped memories, jokes and tales of comrades lost on a faraway peninsula five decades ago.
"It's hard to reflect back on the past," said George Kucera, 74, of Pleasanton, Neb. He was recalling the bloody 10-day march in subzero weather from the Chosin Reservoir, where 16,000 U.N. peacekeepers were overrun by 125,000 Chinese troops.
Kucera, a Marine combat engineer, lost 100 pounds on the march and nearly starved to death. The tips of three of his fingers had to be cut off because of frostbite, and Kucera wears gloves to this day because his hands always feel cold.
"I just can't do it . . . it was just a terrible thing," he said, his voice breaking with emotion as he ended his remembrance during the dedication ceremonies.
The crowd gave him a standing ovation. Kucera, one of the "Chosin Few" survivors of a battle where 3,000 soldiers died, said he'd never before talked about his Korean War service.
Kucera and other veterans commended Oxford, a village of 876 people about 50 miles southwest of Kearney, for taking on the museum, which was conceived in Utah in 1998 and first opened in a Quonset hut in Hawaii in 2001.
The museum's director, Kyle Kopitke, an Army veteran of the Cold War and a former Peace Corps volunteer, has been with the project from the beginning.
Kopitke said it is one of the few museums where people rarely walk through without shedding a tear, and it's the only Korean War museum that concludes that America won the war.
"It was a pivotal victory for freedom," he said.
Kopitke said his board of directors sought a location in the central United States, one more accessible to veterans and where buildings would be more affordable.
Towns in South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma were contacted via e-mail. In the end, the nursing home in Oxford won out over an abandoned high school in Carmen, Okla.
Oxford's Village Board provided $2,500 in incentives, including a vehicle for Kopitke and plane tickets for his family to move to town.
Dennis Wolzen, Oxford's village administrator, said filling the empty rest home and the possibility of providing new jobs and a draw for tourists were all motivations.
Lisa Rhynalds, an Oxford insurance agent, said the local chamber of commerce is organizing a committee to promote the Korean War museum and get signs on I-80 directing tourists to the center. She said that local veterans and others have invested so much time that "we're not going to let it fizzle."
On Tuesday, as crowds milled through the rooms, officials took donations, sold museum memberships, and sold engraved placards that will be displayed on a memorial wall that will feature the names of the 38,000 Americans who died in Korea.
Several veterans, including Kucera, said they'd be back.
"I need to spend a whole day here," he said. "I might find somebody I know."

Friends of the Peace Corps 170,000 strong
170,000 is a very special number for the RPCV community - it's the number of Volunteers who have served in the Peace Corps since 1961. It's also a number that is very special to us because March is the first month since our founding in January, 2001 that our readership has exceeded 170,000. And while we know that not everyone who comes to this site is an RPCV, they are all "Friends of the Peace Corps." Thanks everybody for making PCOL your source of news for the Returned Volunteer community.

A cocktail true to the spirit of Valentine's Day
Tuesday, February 8, 2011; 1:08 PM
It must get a little desperate in the marketing departments of booze companies after Christmas and New Year's Eve. How else to explain the mix of half-baked party ideas and strange events that fills up my in-box every winter?
I know it must be January, for instance, when I receive invitations to three Robert Burns Night suppers as part of the Scotch distillers' annual marketing campaign. Here's what I can say about Burns Night (it was Jan. 25, by the way): It settles once and for all the burning question "Does haggis really pair with Scotch?"
Yes, but only if you're a whisky or two in the bag, wearing a kilt and reciting a poem, in Scottish, entitled "Address to a Haggis."
After Burns Night, I view the NFL conference playoffs with dread. As I watched Pittsburgh hold off New York in the final minutes this year, I couldn't help but picture some poor corporate mixologist stressing out about whether his Super Bowl cocktail would contain, say, dark rum (for the Steelers) or, say, creme de menthe (for the Jets). I just thanked God that the Colts (think blue curacao) had already been eliminated.
Did we really need to celebrate the Steelers by layering coconut vodka and chocolate liqueur in a "low ball glass" or cheer on the Packers with a cocktail glass full of green apple vodka and cinnamon schnapps?
But the Super Bowl passes quickly in the world of booze, and before you know it, the public relations people have moved on to Valentine's Day. Or as I've taken to calling it, the Worst Cocktail Day of the Year.
Valentine's Day is when the chocolate martini still, inexplicably, hogs the spotlight. For 11 months out of the year, I blissfully almost never hear a word about, or think about, chocolate-flavored vodkas and liqueurs. Then, right about the time Punxsutawney Phil pokes his head out of a hole in the ground, I get the full-court press from Godiva liqueurs. This year, I even received a Godiva-flavored vodka.
Still, I thought perhaps I was being unfair to this category; I like real chocolate well enough. So a couple of weeks ago, I decided to do a tasting of chocolate liqueurs. I planned to immerse myself in their cloying little world. And I resolved to come up with a Valentine's Day chocolate cocktail that didn't make me gag.
I gathered what chocolate liqueurs I could find on liquor store shelves. Mostly that meant different brands of white and dark creme de cacao, but I also grabbed the Godiva line, as well as a product called ChocoVine ("The great taste of Dutch chocolate and fine Cabernet wine").
Readers, I tried. I really did. But I won't pretend: By and large, this category just isn't for me. What conclusions did I draw? I can tell you that I preferred the regular Godiva liqueur to white Godiva liqueur (which looked like milk and smelled like vanilla). I would describe ChocoVine as tasting like spiked Yoo-hoo. And I can advise you to avoid most dark (or brown) creme de cacao, which is usually full of caramel coloring.
Here's my advice on the matter: Stick with white creme de cacao from good-quality brands such as Marie Brizard or Drillaud, both which are high enough proof (around 50) to add something when you mix them in a cocktail - which is the only way I would ever drink creme de cacao or any other chocolate spirit.
But what cocktail exactly? A million-dollar question.

When you are leaving a place that you vacated temporarily for a few months or a few years, it's always better to leave it in the same way you received it or in a better condition than to the condition that you received it. This is because you have built a relationship with your landowner via the passage of time and because you don't want the relationship and the trust you built with him/ her be effected due to your ignorance. The way to leave a rented place in a good condition is as follows:
Create an inventory and look around
Develop an inventory of the stuff in the house and look around and see whether everything is in place. Check the lights, fans, windows, taps, wash basins, make sure that everything is as the same way that you received it and is in a good working condition. If its not, if the usual wear and tear has effected the property and the stuff in it, replace the stuff.
Remove the nails, pictures and artwork
You might have customized and personalized the space while you were in it. This is acceptable. But when you are leaving it, take your belongings with you. Remove the pictures and art works that belongs to you from the walls. Remove the nails that you used to hang them, and remove the patches and stains on the wall.
Paint if necessary
If you have small children, they may have drawn around the walls and made the walls unclean and dirty. If possible, it's better to paint the house before you leave. You might have to take the permission from the landowner to do this, and you might need to use the same color that was used before. This way, you can leave the house the same way that you bought it.
Clean carpets if necessary
Your rental agreement may require you to clean the carpets as well. The carpets may have worn out due to your usage. Therefore, clean the carpets. If it's difficult and time consuming to do it yourself take the help of the professionals. There are professional rental bond cleaning services in Perth available now and use innovative techniques. Just ask around or Google and find out a reliable cleaner.
Clean doors and windows
The doors and windows may need cleaning too. Clean, dust and wash these, so that the house gets a clean look.
Clean appliances
The appliances you use need cleaning too. Therefore, brush and wash them and make sure that you won't leave your fingerprints behind.

The engine rumbles running. Adrenaline flows to your veins, when you put on music you like. Take the moment and start to use music lists, which really turn you on. And also listen to lyrics. You discuss with your mind.
Hit songs have clear, simple and mind raising words and tempo. Music flows to your consciousness and you get in good mood. As I was writing this book, I began every day of mine by listening to INSPIRE ME –music list. I repeated the same music, because it inspires and gets me in good mood ― to a level, where I get more out of myself.
1. Whitesnake – Here I Go Again
2. Survivor – High On You
3. Journey ― Don´t Stop Believin´ (Arnel Pineda)
4. Survivor – Burning Heart
5. Van Halen – Jump
6. Rainbow ― I Surrender
7. Survivor – Eye of the Tiger
8. Bon Jovi – Runaway
9. Phil Collins – Something Happened On The Way To
10. Whitney Houston – Step by Step
11. The Pointer Sisters – I´m so Excited
12. Sunset Strippers – Falling Stars
13. Robert Tapper – No Easy Way Out
14. Paul Engemann― Push It To The Limit
15. Cher – You Haven´t Seen The Last Of Me
16. Tina Turner – The Best
17. Jimmy Page – Stairway to Heaven
18. Cheap Trick – The Flame
19. Queen – We Are The Champions
20. Huey Lewis – Stuck On You
21. Michael Jackson – Hold My Hand
22. Kylie Minogue – Get Outta My Way
23. Heart – Never
24. Beckah Sae – Faight, Hope & Love
25. Survivor – I Can´t Hold Back
It is important in the listening of encouraging music to repeat the familiar, pleasing songs to get the mental flow of a good feeling running with the help of music. This way you can experience something, which really gets you going.
The lyrics of the songs speak to me, they have become important to me.
"Step by step, day by day, brick by brick…"
This special Whitney Houston´s song I played in the morning meeting for new sellers, as I was working as a sales manager in sandbanks. Day always started with in the right groove, and the holy grail was found every day. One good program, for playing music lists and making music is from our neighboring country, Sweden.

It's happened again. According to a recent article in ITPRO, a hacker was able to gain access to more than 150,000 networked printers. Even worse, it sounds like the effort was fairly easy. In this case, the hacker, who went by "Stackoverflowin," executed a program to search the internet to find printers that were online but didn't have basic security controls enabled.
That was all it took, and once he was in, he had access to his victims' most sensitive information, including recently printed documents, confidential data and even employee passwords. A wide array of printers were affected – everything from commercial printers, home-based printers, and even restaurant receipt printers – from many different manufacturers.
Fortunately, this "hacker" was actually a white hat actor (someone who uses cyber skills to improve security before malicious actors can get in) who utilized this breach as a way to warn the affected companies. Once he discovered a printer, he forced it to print a message to alert employees that their printer had been hacked. A condensed version of these printouts read, "… your printer is part of a flaming botnet … for the love of God, please close this port." He even included a Twitter thread where users could learn more about this vulnerability and other security issues.
It doesn't take much information to realize just how bad this breach could have been if Stackoverflowin was a black hat hacker intent on doing as much damage as possible. It also reinforces the point that today's printers and MFPs come with the same networking and communications capabilities that we normally associate with computers and network devices.
Why is this true? Just think how these devices are being used today. Most employees utilize them as document capture solutions, perfect for scanning documents and delivering them to centralized repositories, their own desktops, or even to contacts via email.
This means that they now come with advanced communications capabilities. For example, MFPs can send alerts when toner is low or a device is in need or repair. They can even upgrade themselves on the fly using software patches via the network. More, they also include hard drives, embedded firmware, network connections – just like a PC.
So if MFPs are essentially computers, they are also subject to the same security risks, which is even more proof that they need effective security controls in place at all times.
But what are the best security controls?
Secure print management technology is one answer. The right print management solutions offer powerful functionality such as pull printing or "follow-you" printing to provide an added layer of security in the document environment by holding print jobs until they are released at the MFP. In other words, print jobs are not sent to specific printers or MFPs, but instead are sent to a secure server that could reside on-premise or in the cloud.
Print management solutions can also deliver a number of other capabilities to help organizations secure printers and MFPs. Examples of these include user authentication, access restrictions, network activity auditing, rules-based printing, and more. All of this helps reduce errors, automatically mitigate the risk of non-compliance, and avoid the fines, reputation damage and other costs associated with security breaches.
To learn how you can increase security related to your printers and MFPs, we invite you to download the Nuance whitepaper, "Security Made Easy," now.
To learn more, please download the Nuance whitepaper, "Security Made Easy." You'll see how document capture, workflow and print can significantly reduce the risks – and consequences – associated with cyber attacks today.Download

Eames Documentary – Full Movie on PBS.org
A few weeks ago I saw a link to PBS.org noting that the full documentary movie, Charles & Ray Eames: The Architect and the Painter, was available to stream online. This past weekend I was able to sit down and watch the movie. As was pointed out in the movie I held the misconception that Charles & Ray were brothers as I had never really dug into the Eames story. It's a great 1h25m story highlighting both Charles and his wife, Ray, and their business based in Southern California. Trust me they had WAY more going on than just great looking seating.

John Dvorak, the irascible critic/reviewer, once said that when his click counts were getting a little low, he needed only to say something critical of Apple — and watch the clicks add up. Because, well, they defend their kingdom fiercely. And it's such an in club — if you join, man, you're in. But if you're out? Well, let's just say you could get blamed for a lot of things.
As it happens, I worked on a Mac for years and loved it. But when I left the nominally more creative side of my business, I left the Mac as well and switched back to PC-dom.
Perhaps it wasn't as elegant or fun. Then again, the world didn't end when I switched.
So it was with some bemusement that I watched the grownup equivalent of "OMG! The iPhone3G!!!!" frenzy this (now past) week. Even though the reviews were mostly positive, a few pointed out that amidst its "functionality and beauty" there were still some glitches and hidden costs. But no fear, the data points are ready, any criticisms (however mild) can be argued with zeal.
Don't get me wrong. The iPhone 3G is way cool, and in general Apple products are elegant, thoughtful, well-marketed, and smart. But watching the frenzy … the lines… the "Countdowns" over the iPhone 3G kept reminding me of the scene in Life of Brian where the hero, Brian, mistaken for the Savior, has accidentally lost one of his shoes. His followers have fervently taken off one of their shoes "so we can be like YOU, Master!"
The willingness to proclaim everything Brian does or mentions as "a miracle!" is very Apple-esque (or -esque of nearly anything in tech where the hype just gets breathless. Google. Web services, once upon a time. Heaven forbid, blade servers. Chips.) As for the declaiming around him that "only the true messiah would deny his divinity" — well, I'm not sayin' it reminds me of the fans of the guy in the black turtleneck. But hang out on certain discussion boards for a while and connect your own dots.
As Allen Stern of CenterNetworks (a great Web 2.0 news and analysis blog, by the way) said on Twitter: "Anybody want to get 100 people to line up outside of the Sprint Store, just for the hell of it?"

|The impressive 30,000 seater Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium
Photo Credit: Wikicommons
The Rams can expect to play in front of thousands of Bruneian fans in the 30,000 seater Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium, in what may probably be the largest crowd they've ever seen in the S.League this season. The stadium, which was built to the tune of S$100 million in 1984, has seen an average crowd of 6298 [source] this season and it will be a hallowing experience for our boys to be playing in front of such a large, hostile crowd.
For doubters of Woodlands' ability to rough it out with the big boys, just ask Albirex Niigata's Koichi Sugiyama or Harimau Muda's Ong Kim Swee and chances are that they would tell you that the Rams are no easy pushovers. The boys showed plenty of character against both of these teams, and even though the odds were hugely stacked against the Rams, they fought hard, resulting in slim victories for both the White Swans and the Young Tigers. Hence, there is a fair chance that Woodlands would emerge winners from this fixture with the Bruneian Wasps.
|Basiru Osman in action against Tanjong Pagar

The main reason for the Wasps' success this year can be placed squarely on the shoulders of Ghanian striker Basiru Osman. The 22 year old has 4 goals to his name so far, netting against Tampines, SAFFC, Geylang United and Gombak United. Although Osman has drawn mainly blanks in his last 3 matches, his blistering pace is something that our defence has to look out for. Home United did a good job shutting out Osman and his Brazilian strike partner, the evergreen Rodrigo Gral, in their encounter last week and the Rams must look to do the same. While the Protectors showed clearly that they missed the services of the dependable Isa Halim, who policed (pun intended) their midfield with tenacity up to last season, the Rams can rely on the reliable pair of Han Yiguang and Armanizam Dolah to arrest any balls from DPMM's midfield to the duo of Osman and Gral.
|DPMM's marauding winger - Shahrazen Said
Photo Credit: FAS
The boys will also need to contain the threat posed by Bruneian winger, Shahrazen Said. The bald 26 year old has scored 5 times already this season, and he was a handful for Tanjong Pagar the last time a S.League match was played here two weeks ago. A pale ghost of his usual self against Home United, Shahrazen was taken off after just 41 minutes last week (It was later reported that he was running a fever), and was replaced by his younger brother, Adi Said. The fearsome winger will be looking to bounce back and we will count on Duncan Elias and Guntur Djafril to snuff out this dangerman.
While the Wasps have been firing on all cylinders upfront, the same cannot be said of their defence, which seemed to have lost some confidence as of late. DPMM right back Shahrulrizal Rahman seems like the weakest link for the Bruneians coming into this match and it was his mistake that led to Frederic Mendy's goal last week.
|Moon will fancy his chances against the Wasps defence,
which seems to have lost their confidence as of late.

Moon Soon-Ho should have the opportunity to have some decent chances at DPMM's goal. Although Hussein Akil is still doubtful for this match, the Australian's blazing pace and trickery would be a handful for DPMM if he should feature. Otherwise, Farizal Basri should start once again with Moon upfront and he will be energized by that exquisite chip he scored last week. Shamsurin Abdul Rahman, who played so well in last week's friendly against Katong FC, should also be encouraged to continue his fine form in Bandar Seri Begawan as well.
Although the Bruneians expect an easy win over the Rams, we know that it will be a tight game and a fight to the finish.
Come on you Rams! Never Surrender!

I just returned from the dermatologist. She looked at my nails and said they were not a definitive indicator of psoriasis. She said what's happening to them could be a reaction to anything going on in my body. Hmmm, that's helpful. She said, "It's a lot like the rash you had on your breasts and trunk that could have been a reaction to many different things, even something like breast cancer." Really? Did you have to throw that in there?
And then I mentioned that I was starting to experience changes somewhere else. (And now, you are about to realize that I am sharing what is going on with me not just for my own sake-but to hopefully help others.) I mentioned that I was experiencing this in my rear area. Ah, the joys of autoimmunity just keep getting better, folks. Lucky me got to undress and have that area examined. Glad my dermatologist is a female. It wouldn't have happened otherwise.
And that's when she said, "Well, now I think you are correct. It does look like you have psoriatic arthritis." (That will be a few hundred dollars.) But wait, it gets better. Then she said, "But just to be 100% sure, I'd like to do a biopsy." Really? First it was my breast she biopsied–which came back inconclusive. Now, it's my behind. So, this little mama has stitches in her rear right now. How's that for a little transparency?
She told me to come back in twelve days to have the stitches removed. I reminded her that the stitches in my breast came undone the day after they were put in and I had a bleeding, gaping cut that I tended to with steri strips. Couldn't I just take the stitches out myself? She pointed out that it might be difficult since they are behind me. Oh, yeah, duh. Well, then my husband can take them out. There, problem solved and follow-up appointment avoided.
"You know," my derm. said, "There is no cure for psoriatic arthritis. You will have to manage this the rest of your life. You should really start a biologic." I told her that I would like to finish my attempt with antibiotics. She squished up her face and said, "But antibiotics aren't a treatment for psoriatic arthritis." Uh, thanks. I'll take it from here. She also asked me (sounding very surprised) why I wouldn't want to start a biologic right away. This question put me off a little. She said it like there are not side effects to biologics.
As I was walking to the desk to check out, I was caught off guard by the feeling of tears welling up in my eyes. When I got home, I couldn't help but cry. I think that I had to process being told once again by someone in the medical profession that what I have is without a cure and lifelong. I knew this going in to my appointment and wasn't told anything new by the time I left. But for some reason, there were tears. And now I'm sitting here a bit more collected, but with a bandaid on my behind!

FSF India's Letter to Finance Minister of Kerala and the Minister's response
Dr. T.M. Thomas Isaac
Hon'ble Minister for Finance
Government of Kerala
We appreciate your efforts to implement the facility for submitting e-returns for Value Added Tax. We believe that this will make it convenient for many traders.
However, there is a small but serious problem that, we are sure, can be taken care of without much difficulty. The problem is that a person who has to submit the returns is forced to use Microsoft Excel, a piece of proprietary software. because the submission is possible only with the help of this piece of software. The person who submits the return has to create a spreadsheet file first, using Microsoft Excel, and then use a macro supplied by the department.
This is a problem in two ways: For one, this leaves the government open to the accusation of promoting one company's product at the cost of others. Those who have to submit returns are forced to purchase this software, if they wish to live without violating the law, or use illegal copies. Secondly, this also leaves the government open to the accusation that it is promoting the use of proprietary software on the one hand while its policy is talking of promoting Free (Swatantra) Software on the other.
This problem can be solved easily by providing macros for other applications like OpenOffice Calc, a Free (as in Freedom) spreadsheet application. An alternative would be to specify a text format that can be prepared using one of several applications and then submitted as such. The Free Software community will help you in this matter, and we can co-ordinate this, if needed.
Hoping for a positive response from your side on this matter,
Yours sincerely,
for Free Software Foundation of India

I know I closed off this blog two years ago, but I got a few complaints from readers who still come in for the old stuff. The complaints were about one of the webrings I was part of taking control of the page and redirecting readers.
So, I tossed the webring. Everything should be fine now.
So what's been happening in the last while? If you've not been keeping up then you've missed a ton.
Currently - I'm doing a movie challenge, one movie a day for a year. You can read about all that here
I'm still doing wrestling reviews/commentary. I should say, I've returned to it. The way it's being done is in two degrees. TNA is mostly being covered on my personal blog while the WWE stuff is mostly hanging out on my "new" wrestling blog though some of the TNA stuff gets posted on that wrestling blog too, not much.
There are a few other blogs I am working on. But then again, I'm addicted.
On a personal level, I am currently recovering from massive knee surgery. So not fun.
Keep the spirit alive

DatePlay: Another HOAX in progress
Indian based online gaming company that plans to copycat .... eHarmony! They think they can use 16PF test in a game.
Personality Based Recommender Systems are the next generation of recommender systems because they perform far better than Behavioural ones (past actions and pattern of personal preferences)
That is the only way to improve recommender systems, to include the personality traits of their users.
They need to calculate personality similarity between users but there are different formulas to calculate similarity.
In case you did not notice, recommender systems are morphing to compatibility matching engines, as the same used in the Online Dating Industry for years, with low success rates!!! Because they mostly use the Big Five model to assess personality and the Pearson correlation coefficient to calculate similarity.
Please remember: Personality traits are highly stable in persons over 25 years old to 45 years old.
Online Dating sites OFFERING COMPATIBILITY MATCHING METHODS BASED ON PERSONALITY SIMILARITY have very big databases, in the range of 20,000,000 (twenty million) profiles, so the Big Five model or the HEXACO model are not enough for predictive purposes. That is why I suggest the 16PF5 normative personality test instead.
The same applies for Personality Based Recommender Systems.

Obviously, we only have 7 days a week, but I really wish we have 8! But anyway, that's a song by The Beatles, in case you don't know it. ;-P
So, I've been working hard lately that my last post in this blog was like…er… so many days ago. I've been really, REALLY busy. So far, I started this week in a not-so-good way.
1. I had gastric attack again. Took MC to rest at home.
2. Found out from an old friend that a friend's sister went missing in Kota Kinabalu.
1. Still on MC because the gastric attack just wouldn't leave me alone.
2. Received the bad news about the friend's sister. Her body was found dumped at some bushes in King Fisher park. *sigh* What has the world turn into??
1. Back to work. Found out that my trainee has submitted her resignation. She'll be around till Friday. OMG.. I'll be back to square one – lots of work to do with no assistant!!! NOT my fault tho. She lives quite far from our workplace (she actually has to travel by cab and the commuter to get here!) But thank goodness my boss gave me a good news too. A new replacement is on it's way – and it happened to be a cute guy! LOL (OK….we'll see)
2. Some moola just arrived into my account – for some custom work I did previously. YAY! Some money to buy some engraved gifts for Christmas!!
Yet to come. Let's see what Thursday have in store for me…. *fingers cross*
(Oh by the way, I have like tons of people to call tomorrow. There's the Berjaya Hotel, Melia Hotel, etc) :-(

I have an env2 and my toddler was playing with it the other day and he erased my purchased ringtones! I did not buy them from my service provider and I would prefer not to purchase them again. My husband has an android phone and it's impossible to delete his ringtones so I don't understand why I can't figure out how to retore mine to my env. Shouldn't they be hidden somewhere in the phone's memory and easily retrieved? Verizon of course just wants me to repurchase the ringtones through them.
I appreciate the help!

Re: How to restore ringtones?
Sometimes, if you contact the service you bought them through they'll let you get them again if it hasn't been a long time.
You might have been able to back-up the ringtones using BitPim but it's too late now.
You could just use BitPim and your own audio program to make your own replacement ringtones but there's a bit of learning curve for that. It works great. I've never paid for ringtones for my enV2.

Continuing from my last post, I felt absolutely horrible all day yesterday. Horrible nausea, burning esophageal pain (at least I think that's what it was), stomach pain, sore lower back, abdominal pain, sore thighs, knees, feet.........every inch of my body was in excruciating pain and it scared me. I couldn't get comfortable no matter what I did, whether I stood or sat, walked or stayed still. I went to bed at 8:30 pm. I think I was 7 or 8 the last time I went to bed that early. I didn't have a choice. I slept a bit, woke up, tried to get comfortable, prayed, cried, fell back to sleep, woke, shifted to find a better position, went back to sleep, woke, prayed.......until 8:00 am. My pups who had patiently been by my side for almost 12 hours, jumped out of bed. I am so grateful that they stayed patient throughout the night, giving me unconditional love. Sleep is really important when you're sick.
I am feeling slightly better today. Thank God. Though my legs, abdomen and lower back are still very sore, my upper body has calmed down a bit. I haven't been eating much, which is a good way to lose weight, but not this way. I just had a piece of toast and a scrambled egg. It's hard to chew and swallow and food tastes like metal.
Besides the chemo meds that are cruelly finding their way around my body, I am taking Tylenol for pain, meds for nausea, meds for constipation, meds for the infection in my leg along with all the various meds I take for depression, anxiety and asthma. How do all these meds know how to work together to make my body better? I think they are as puzzled as much as I am.
I am not ready for Christmas, haven't been outside (except to put garage out) since Wednesday night and really feeling sorry for myself.
I hope God hasn't forgotten me and has a plan for me. Right now, I can't imagine what that could be.
It's Coco's 6th birthday today. Happy Birthday to my adorable Yorkie rescue! I love you. xoxo

The internet appears to have nearly as many people getting caught up with Cholla Cacti as it has cute kittens doing funny stuff. It almost qualifies as a genre in itself.
Now this is only a personal suspicion, but I reckon that the birds of the Sonoran Desert have set up candid cameras and are getting their Youtube footage by enticing birders close enough to the cholla bushes for the spiked fruit to make the leap onto their innocent carriers. It is possible that the birds feel so secure in the protection of the vicious, malicious plant that they can afford to reduce their flight distance and allow a close approach.
The Cactus Wren is especially at home in the Sonoran Desert and can often be seen silhouetted at the top of a cholla. The fruits easily detach and dig their murderous, barbed spikes into delicate Western Palearctic flesh and the birds tempt unwitting watchers closer and closer until……. Please note that this one is endorsed by the Profane Society of America.
It is not just the wrens that get their kicks by enticing folk onto the spikes like wreckers luring ships onto the rocks. Black-throated Sparrows will tee themselves up atop a cactus to draw the unwary close enough to get skewered.
On this occasion the biggest draw was the Curve-billed Thrasher that was nestbuilding in a cactus beside the path at the Lost Dutchman State Park, just outside Phoenix.
How on Earth did it manage to manoeuvre twigs and sticks in such a confined space, surrounded by so many spikes without getting punctured or losing an eye?
The birds aren't immune, alas. A mummified cactus wren hung from a cholla in our neighborhood for months after impaling itself.

New Zealand - Selling Property
The other way to sell a property is privately. This is actually a popular choice in New Zealand and one that is done for many reasons. The main reason and perhaps the most obvious is that when a vendor sells their home privately there are no fees to the estate agent. Of course they are then responsible for their own advertising costs but depending on the value of the home they can still be making huge savings.
The vendor also has full control of the sale of their property if they decide to sell privately. This means that any negotiation on price with potential buyers can be done directly which also helps to save time. The vendor is also the best person to describe the house to potential buyers as they are the ones who have lived in it. They can highlight the good points better than an estate agent who might not know certain details about the home.
Some vendors choose this option as they believe that estate agents will not give their full attention to selling their home. They have so many other homes on offer that as long as they make a sale they don't care whose house it is. But to choose this option a vendor must also know how to sell a home.
Estate agents in New Zealand usually charge a fee of 3.95% of the sales value of the home. On top of this is the GST (Goods and Services Tax), which can take the total fee to 4.44%. Homes over $350,000 are usually charges at a lower fee of around 2% plus the GST. However, as the estate agent is paid half of the fee in commission with the rest going to the agency then successfully negotiating on these fees is very rare. In addition to these fees there is usually an admin fee of $500.00 which is a fixed fee no matter what the value of the home. To put this into perspective, if your home sells for $250,000 you are likely to be paying around $11,600 in estate agents fees. You will pay this price if your home sells within a few days or even if it takes months.
The good news is, this fee usually comes out of the buyer's deposit. The buyer has to pay a minimum of 10% deposit and the estate agent takes their fee once the home sale is going through. The vendor only sees this figure once the solicitor shows the statement of sale to the vendor after the sale has completed.
The costs for the vendor selling the home privately are considerably less, even taking into account the advertising costs, which today thanks to the internet can be very low. However, any costs accrued by advertising the home privately, putting up boards and printing flyers usually need to be paid up front. It is not normally possible to pay these fees after the sale of the home has gone through.
There is no capital gains tax to pay not even for foreign investors, but if you are leaving New Zealand to go to another country, for example back to your home country or to emigrate elsewhere, then there may be the need to declare the money upon your arrival in the new country. Checking with the customs office of the destination country regarding the amount of money that can be brought in with you is wise prior to making the move.
Property exchange in New Zealand is possible although it is not a common way to acquire a new home. Some people consider this option if they are struggling to sell their house, or if they are lucky enough to find someone who is looking for a home in their area, while having a home available in the area the vendor wants to be. However those that are not that lucky would usually consider renting their home until they find a buyer rather than going through the house exchange process.

How To Increase Funeral Car Fuel Efficiency
An interesting article about the auto start-stop feature got me to thinking about fuel efficiency in funeral cars. In a day when gas prices are hitting near $4 per gallon or more, fuel economy is becoming an increasingly more important concern for all drivers. It should also be an important concern for funeral directors.
When you consider that funeral cars are constantly starting and stopping in traffic, this is very important to talk about.
You park your funeral car, then drive it around to where the pall bearers will load it with a casket. From there you drive to the cemetery. From the funeral home to the cemetery you will undoubtedly stop and restart your vehicle several times – at stop lights, stop signs, in traffic, etc. The auto start-stop feature can increase your fuel efficiency.
The way this feature works is, when you sit idle in your funeral car for more than a few seconds, the vehicle's engine shuts off. When you accelerate again it restarts. The engine shutting off and coming back on like this will save your fuel.
With Ford Motor Company offering this feature as an option for less than $300, I think this could spell a new direction for the auto industry as a whole, even funeral cars. If consumers will pay for fuel efficiency, Ford will prove it. What about you? Do you think funeral directors will pay for greater fuel efficiency? Will you?

The Sweet Clementines guitarist and singer John Burdick and bassist Jason Sarubbi have been entrenched in New Paltz's local music scene long before the area became a destination for Brooklyn and Manhattan expats, and you will still not find two better representatives of the town's rich sonic soil. Five years following their illuminating debut, Though It Were the Kiss of Death, the group ups its game with Lake Victoria. Produced by Burdick and Sarubbi with a strong lineup rounded out by Ratboy drummer Matt Senzatimore along with multi-instrumentalists Marianne Tasick and Paul Carroll, these are 13 uplifting songs, warmly crafted with artisan levels of melodies that made albums like the Waterboys' Fisherman's Blues, Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend, and Wilco's Summerteeth so essential to our diets.
And it is that sense of familiarity that helps such great tracks as "Diluvia," "Voice Lessons," and the gorgeous "A Waltz for Matt Coleman" resonate so deeply long after the album's 57 minutes are up. Though he's no longer a full-time member, fellow New Paltz pop luminary Chris Tanis contributed one song here, the wise "Teaching Children Not to Doubt," while the comely voice of Tasick takes center stage on "Heart Like a Muscle" and "Sweet Imagination No. 5." That the Sweet Clementines are still not signed to a national record label is just criminal. Lake Victoria makes a compelling case for bringing this most talented group of longtime locals to the big stage.

Our approach which we settled on in early 2015 is described in an earlier post by me and one by Claire. I included the following in that previous post:
I then explained why NCEA Level 1 was a qualification of little value; it leads to no employment or further training. Despite this all schools expose their 14 and 15 year olds to a full year of six subjects offering anywhere between 18 and 24 credits (both internal and external) meaning to get the 80 required (for a meaningless qualification) students were being exposed to 120-140 credits. It's like being hit by a tidal wave! All of a sudden their focus moves away from the joy of discovery and learning to credit chasing and teachers take their eye off the NZC and 'teach to the tests' - all for a qualification that has little value! Stress levels rise for everyone - students, teachers and parents.
Our plan is that our Year 11 students will achieve around 20 quality Level 1 or 2 credits that emerge from their co-constructed learning programmes. Most of these will be from their areas of interest and passion though if we identify that a learner will struggle to receive literacy and numeracy credits at Level 6 or 7 then we will direct them to the literacy and numeracy Unit Standards.
Our learners will take their 20 quality credits with them to Year 12. Their focus in Year 12 will be on 60 quality Level 2 or higher credits. When these are matched with the 20 they have brought with them they are awarded NCEA L1 and 2. They will have done this after having attempted around 100 credits over their 2 years rather than the 220-280 they may have had to attempt elsewhere.
So, as we approach our 4th year and have students moving into Year 12 (Q2 in our lingo), how did 2016 pan out for our Year 11 (Q1) learners?
We started 2016 by setting a target of every Q1 learner achieving 20 quality credits to lay the foundation for their 2 year journey to a quality NCEA L2. Programmes were set up in such a way that all learners would have the opportunity to attempt 20 - 40 credits.
This is what happened:
- 97% achieved at least 20 credits (the 4 who did not are high priority learners). This shows we came close to the quantity part of our target. What about the quality?
- 57% of all internal standards were awarded Merit or Excellence
- 62% of all external standards were awarded Merit or Excellence
How well have the foundations been laid for a quality NCEA L2?
On average, our Q2 learners arrive this year with 12 Level 2 credits, meaning they need 48 at Level 2 or higher to gain their Level 2.
Our programmes will allow our Q2 learners to access 60 - 80 credits at Level 2 or higher and I am confident that we will achieve the quantity part of our target for them. I am also confident we will continue to nail the quality element. Our Q1 learners have flourished in an environment that concentrates on deep learning while avoiding the downside of assessment anxiety as they chase 80+ credits for a largely meaningless Level 1 qualification.
At HPSS we are all determined to maintain an environment focussing on deep learning and not on assessment even as our learners move through Q2 and into Q3 in 2018.
