There has been a major change in the way banks and credit companies in the UK sell payment protection insurance (PPI) but while many firms are now taking a more responsible approach, for years lenders failed to make sure their customers were fully aware of all their available options.
PPI is usually offered to people who have been accepted for loans, credit cards, mortgages and a wide variety of other forms of credit. It is designed to provide a layer of protection for people who find themselves unable to meet their repayment schedule, perhaps because they have lost their job or have been forced to take sick leave and are no longer receiving their full salary. In these situations, loan repayments are made on the borrower's behalf.
However, as recent news reports have revealed, many financial institutions were not as open about their PPI finance agreements as they should have been. Rather than being transparent about PPI finance and what it involved, consumers were tied into finance agreements that they knew nothing about, despite the fact that they should have had their needs fully assessed before PPI cover was taken out.
Some people were not made aware that they could have gone to another lender to take out PPI cover that would have better suited their needs, while others were not made aware of all the small print associated with the payment protection cover. The courts have ruled that financial institutions that mis-sold PPI finance agreements must now pay the money back.
When it comes to finance agreements and PPI claims it pays to make sure that you speak to legal experts. If you believe you were mis-sold PPI then make sure you get in touch with a member of our claims team to see if you could get your money back. If you are found to have a valid claim then we can guide you through the necessary steps to get your PPI premiums and interest reimbursed.
Submitting a claim through Payment Protection Refunds is simple when you use our online form, and you can rest assured that once your application has been passed on to our claims team, they will see it through to a final settlement.

Aliens Exist, According To This Upcoming Documetary
Aliens exist, says former emergency medical physician Steven Greer, and he thinks he has the evidence to prove it - including a 6-inch body he believes is a visitor heralding from a distant planet.
This, among other forms of evidence, including alleged government documents, photographs, audio and "high-level witness" testimony, is scheduled for release in the documentary "Sirius" on April 22.
The purpose of the film, however, isn't only to offer what those behind it believe to be convincing evidence that extraterrestrials exist and have visited Earth, but rather what they see as the politically- and financially-driven conspiracy to cover it up.
"What people need to understand is the secrecy around UFOs and extraterrestrial intelligence really has nothing to do with ETs," Greer said in a video statement. "It has to do with humans and the power that is resting in large corporations and financial interests that do not want you to know the truth."
These interests, Greer and his colleagues believe, rest largely in energy corporations who fear the technology out-of-town visitors are using to reach our planet - a technology, Greer said, humans have already acheived but is kept hidden away.
"Once people understand that classified projects have figured out how UFOs operate, they will realize we no longer need oil, coal and nuclear power," he said. "This is the truth that has driven the secrecy."
In the meantime, the very lack of these technologies are what Greer believes is "driving the planet into ground."
In all, the movie's release, which has long since sold out, marks for Greer and his colleagues the point when they stop waiting for the government to do something about the supposed proof, and transfer it to the hands of the masses.
And nor is he alone. Overseeing the film is the Emmy Award-winning director Amardeep Kaleka who said he offered his help because he felt the group was working on "groundbreaking ideas over the past decade and pushing a truth that either not a lot of people know about, or are scared to discuss."

Quite a few people wonder what it means to blog and why it's popular to do so. If you are one of those people and don't know exactly what blog posting is about and what the benefits are, the tips laid out here will help you to build a blog that is enjoyable for readers.
Remember not to overuse keywords, plug-in, images and ads. Going overboard with any of these things may cause search engines to penalize your blog's ranking, or de-list your blog altogether. Maintain a natural writing style that is seamless.
Write new blogs on a regular basis. Infrequent updates will never benefit your blog in any way. Any readers who are initially interested will lose interest if they have to wait a long time between posts or updates to articles. At a minimum, try to post a new blog every week. In addition, send out frequent emails updating your readers on your content.
Strive to add some new content to your blog every day. In order to keep your current subscribers visiting your blog, you need to keep giving them new content to read. Regular new content will also help you to attract new visitors. Without new content, your visitors will not be compelled to visit your blog, or even return! Try to aim for posting at least one time every day.
When you make your blog, think about buying a domain name instead of putting your blog on a free site. You will increase the professional appearance of your blog for the small fee. Visitors will have less trouble remembering the blog if its title includes your business name.
Post content regularly so your readers will come back to see your new posts. The best blogs post daily, if not more often. A smart step to prepare for an aggressive posting schedule like this is building up a backlog of two weeks' worth of posts before you start blog posting. Then you can use one from this backlog of posts for the days you can't seem to come up with anything to say. If you do this, you'll have back-up posts you can use if you can't think of any content to post that day.
You should now have a better understanding of what is necessary to create a successful blog. This article is here as a resource, so use it as often as necessary.

It has been reassuring to read some amazing blog posts this month from bloggers who are going through the same experience or who have done it all before. Here is a selection from the last few weeks.
Getting to the end of term and surviving!
Buzy Mum shares her thoughts about the countdown to high school and expresses the way that many of us feel. Take a look if you have kids in Year 6, it'll make you feel better. I love this list from Old House in the Shires on the signs that it is the end of term, I guarantee you will be guilty of many of them!
I share my own post about Year 6 kids and how you can spot one a mile off! Just look out for the attitude and the uniform that's too small. You may also want to read about Transition days and what every 11 year old needs to know!
Finally, Sarah at Mum of Three World shares a description of her busy week which will sound only too familiar to a lot of us. It makes you tired just reading it!
Facing the future
At this time of year, parents of teens and tweens can get very reflective about how the role that we play in our children's lives is changing. This very poignant post from Old House in the Shires sums up what being a parent of older children is. I could relate to every word of this and I'm sure you will too. The one thing that many Year 6 kids want is a mobile phone and this issue is expertly explored by The Mad House of Cats and Babies. This is useful reading for all parents facing this dilemma.
We also shouldn't forget that many families are spending their last summer together before older children head off to pastures new. There is an interesting post on Chicken Ruby blog about what is the right age to leave home. The problem of how much we can and should protect our children as they get older is never very far from our minds. Actually Mummy illustrates this perfectly with her post about the Netlix drama 13 reasons why which has been widely watched by teens and discussed by parents and in the media. You will have to make your own minds up.
This very powerful post from Absolutely Prabulous touched me very deeply and describes very vividly the agony of raising a tween/teen.
Have a great summer and prepare yourselves for what September has to throw at us!

- Research. First up, you need to research your topic and make yourself an expert. There are a lot of resources you can refer to, including the internet, the library, and the academic databases. You need to immerse yourself in the great words while taking notes.
- Analysis. Since you have got a good knowledge about your topic, now it's time to analyze the arguments in the essay you are going to write. Define your claims but don't forget to list the reasons and evidence. Look for both weakness and strengths of the logic.
- Thesis. Brainstorm yourself and think of your insights for the essay. Now you need to pick one idea as your best, and it will be the main point. Make sure you sum it up in a concise sentence, so the readers will know the direction you are going.
- Outline. Make a sketch of your essay before you write it out straight away. Use brief words to describe each paragraph and use bullet points for what you are about to put in each paragraph. Play with the structure of the essay and the orders of the contents.
- Introduction, paragraphs, and conclusion. Now you sit down and write the academic essay. You need to grab readers' attention in the introduction. You also want to set up the issue and lead your readers into your thesis. Each paragraph needs to focus on a single idea supporting your thesis. You should begin a paragraph with a topic sentence and support the assertions with evidence. Use the most sensible and clearest way you can to expound your ideas. At the end, make a graceful exit by using a wrap-up sentence and some memorable thoughts. Maybe use an interesting twist of logic, or a quotation to leave your readers in deep thoughts.
- Formatting and proofreading. Format your academic assay following the correct citation. MLA style is what's commonly used. After formatting the essay, it's time for you to polish your language and correct any mistakes.

Great little photo editor/
Being mentally ill: the new normal?/
One of the consequences of the widespread promotion of mental-health catastrophism is that being mentally ill is fast becoming the new normal. This is especially true among mental-health proponents' main target: the young. Indeed, over the past couple of decades there has been a constant stream of reports and publications claiming that children and young people have never been as anxious, depressed and insecure as they are today. Hence among the media and policymakers, the narrative of a 'generation in crisis' has firmly taken hold. Of course, a sense of alienation and existential insecurity has long characterised being young, from the Romantics to the Beats. What has changed, however, is that youthful angst and insecurity has both been medicalised and, increasingly, inflated.

100-Year-Old Colour Portraits Of New York Immigrants/
Here are just a handful of the 12 million men, women, and children who arrived at Ellis Island, New York, between 1892 and 1954 to start a new life in the USA, often dressed in their finest clothes...
The photographs were taken between 1906 and 1914 by amateur photographer Augustus Francis Sherman, the chief registry clerk at Ellis Island, then the country's busiest immigration station...
Photo colourisation specialists at Dynamichrome have put painstaking work into bringing these photos to vivid life by adding colour, using historical references to help pinpoint the exact colours, including postcards from the era, and colour photographers from a later date.
The Islamophobic attacks you don't hear about/
Incidents of 'Islamophobia' are really getting out of hand in Britain. In fact there has been such a wave of attacks that it's amazing that politicians and commentators across the political spectrum, (not to mention all those supposed 'anti-fascist' groups) aren't grand-standing like crazy. Perhaps their problem is that this wave of attacks does not consist of people writing nasty and mean things on Twitter, but of Muslims killing other Muslims and still other Muslims extolling such killings.

Female MPs, please stop playing the sexism card/
Thornberry provided us with the car-crash interview of the weekend when she was questioned by Dermot Murnaghan on Sky News about the Labour Party's position on Brexit. In response to Murnaghan asking her if she knew the name of the French foreign minister, Thornberry said, 'Don't start pub quizzing me, Dermot'. When the question was repeated, Thornberry said: 'No, and I'm not going to start answering your questions on this.'
The interview reached its cringe-worthy peak when Thornberry failed to provide the name or gender of the president of South Korea. She then launched into several angry rants, before accusing Murnaghan of sexism. 'I certainly think sometimes, when it comes to sexism, some Sky presenters need to look at themselves, too', she said.
Picture shows how Christmas favourite Quality Street have shrunk since 1998/
The image, which shows four of the iconic purple tubs side by side, has sparked outrage on social media after it was posted on the Quality Street Facebook page by customer Charlotte Stacey Hook.
In her post, Ms Hook claims that the oldest tin, pictured on the far left, was bought in 1998. However, some chocolate fans have argued that it was the design used in the 1980s.
A Nestle spokesman said it was difficult to tell when exactly each tin was made, but that the newest tub appeared to be from 2014/2015; the ones in the middle from the 2000s; and the one on the far left from the late 1990s or early 2000s.

When trying to get what you want – whether it be health, wealth, relationships – you always have 3 priorities to choose from – but you can only pick two. The way you choose these options will dictate how happy and successful you are over the course of your life. I've learned this the hard way.
Your 3 options are:
• Fast
• Easy
• Long Term
You can have two. All three cannot exist simultaneously.
Want to get healthy? You can do it the fast and easy way – starve yourself, take drugs – but it won't be long term. You can do the easy and long term way (diet/excercise/meditation), but it won't be fast. You can do it fast and long term, sure, but it will be a very hard grind (alarm goes off at 4:30 am). Pick how you want.
Want to get wealthy? Sure, you can do it the fast and easy way (steal, cheat, lie), but it won't be long term. You can do it the fast and long term way, but get ready to dig in hard and work 7 days a week. Want to get wealthy the easy way? Simple. Work hard, save, invest wisely, learn, pay attention to opportunities, and don't give into the consumerism plague that is whispering to buy new shit that you don't need all the time.
I was a fool in my 20s for driving cars that cost nearly 50% of my annual income. Could have been saving and investing instead of trying to "prove myself" to a bunch of people who aren't even in my life in my 30s.
Want to find a partner? Fast and easy would be to hop on Tinder…but we all know how long those things last. It takes patience to go through the slog of dating to find your perfect match. But is it worth it? Up to you. Depends how badly you want a partner.
I guess the reason why am talking about this is because it is so plain to see that we are in a time in this country where people are always looking for "fast, temporary relief", as opposed to addressing the root of the problem. Look at the opioid epidemic. People go from high to high. Other people get high off spending money, or Instagram likes. Everyone that isn't playing for the long term has their drug du jour.
Unfortunately, the problem with temporary relief is just that…it's temporary. Whether people use alcohol to get fast temporary relief, sleep around to get fast temporary relief, or spend hours taking the perfect selfie for a few hundred likes, this compulsive need to "feel better now" is the result of a society that values now pleasure over planting seeds for the big victory over the long haul.
Ultimately, the only way to long-term health, wealth, and success is through mastery. It is through the day in and day out discipline of planting seeds for your career or business, to win the day every day for your health, spending time learning every day, and to be honest with yourself about your problems and to deal with them head on.
And while discipline always sounds hard, I'm here to remind you (because you know) that it's far easier than always having to start over, constantly having to meet someone new, being broke, or taking a dozen prescription medications to keep your body working.
Ignoring our problems – problems we all have – only makes them worse. Don't be the person who knows this truth and does nothing about it.

By Jimmy Quaile, Certified Sommelier
Many people make resolutions at the start of a new year but so few of us keep them. Maybe your unrealistic goals should be replaced with something that is totally enjoyable…like drinking more wine! Here are 5 resolutions that will sure to make 2017 a banner year.
1) Try a new grape variety
Even the most ardent wine geek can find themselves drinking the same 5 or 6 wine varietals. There is a world of wine grapes waiting to be explored. The added benefit is the price! Lesser known wines can be an amazing value.
(See grape guide and recommendations below)
2) Cook with wine
The best chefs in the world cook with wine yet most home cooks rarely do. A really good tip: Save your left-over wine in ice trays. Then add a cube as needed to your favorite sauces.
3) Host a wine tasting
You don't have to be a certified Sommelier to host a wine tasting. You can even make it potluck style and have friends bring a bottle each. Pick a theme or wine region, down load some scoring sheets and you are off and running.
4) Decant more often
Time to bring out that old decanter you were given as a wedding present but just never use, then again any water pitcher will work. Decanting absolutely changes the wine by exposing all of its molecules to air. Try it.
5) Drink "the good stuff"
If you're like me you are saving certain bottles for big occasions. Fair enough. But keep in mind that knowing when to drink a wine, even one that was made to be aged, should be akin to trading a professional athlete – better a year early than a day late.
Torrontés aromas are strikingly similar to Viognier, with hints of peach, flowers and orange. It is fruity yet still quite dry. It is the perfect partner to smoked meats and cheeses, seafood and sushi!
Colomé Torrontés – $11.99
Monestrell is the Spanish name for the Mourvèdre grape in France. The grape can produce highly perfumed wines with intense blackberry fruit flavors and savory, meaty notes. In Australia, the grape is the M in their famed GSM blends along with Grenache and Shiraz.
Honoro Vera Monastrell – $7.99
Tannat is a red grape historically grown in South West France in the Madiran region, and is now one of the most prominent grapes in Uruguay. It is characterized by its firm, tannic structure with raspberry aromas and the ability to age well.
Bouza Tannat Reserva – $20.99
Assyrtico is Greece's most iconic grape variety, grown on the volcanic island of Santorini (now officially named Thera). It is a high acid versatile grape able to be made in a multitude of styles, from fresh, white wines to rich, nutty dessert wines, as in Vinsanto.
Boutari Santorini Assyrtico – $16.98
Gaglioppo is an Italian grape variety only recently found to be an offspring of Sangiovese. It best known for producing soft red wines from Calabria. The red wine is typified by a range of crushed berry flavors with earthy and spicy secondary notes.
Ippolito Liber Pater Ciro Rosso – $14.99
Wine Guy Fact
New Year's Day began with the Babylonians in March but changed to January by the Romans. January gets its name from Janus, the two-faced god who looks backward into the old year and forwards into the new. Resolutions were started by the Babylonians with promises to the gods in hopes they'd earn good favor in the coming year.
The idea of fasting or "doing" is a more modern invention. A 2007 study showed that men achieved their goal more often when they engaged in private goal setting, while women succeeded more when they made their goals public.
The top three resolutions year after year are to spend more time with family, lose weight and quit smoking.

Another record day for Mallett
LITTLE ROCK — Ryan Mallett guided the Arkansas Razorbacks to another offensive explosion, racking up five touchdown passes in a 42-21 beating of Mississippi State in the final home game of the season.
The victory at War Memorial Stadium moved Arkansas to 7-4 overall and 3-4 in Southeastern Conference Western Division play. The loss ended Miss State's bowl chances by dropping the Bulldogs to 4-7 on the season, 2-5 in the SEC West.
The sophomore became the first Razorback in the 100-plus year history of football to throw for over 3,000 yards in a single season.
Another day of records for Mallett, who after only 11 games at Arkansas now owns or has a part of 12 different Razorback records.
Against MSU, Mallett tied his own school record with five touchdown passes. Twice he went for 50-yard plus passes to freshman Cobi Hamilton who led the Razorbacks with 131 yards receiving.
He closed with 18 of 34 for 313 yards and his five touchdowns.
With the regular season finale at Baton Rouge against LSU and a bowl game invitation left, Mallett could extend his early career domination of the Razorback passing records.
Giving up 21 unanswered points to Arkansas in the first half, Miss State changed quarterbacks and styles to begin the second half. The change turned what looked to be a runaway into an interesting and competitive third quarter.
Employing what looked like a close formation wishbone of the glory days of War Memorial Stadium, Chris Relf directed an 11-play, 94-yard drive exclusively on the ground. Anthony Dixon broke over 100 yards for the game with the 4-yard touchdown run to cut Arkansas' lead to seven, 21-14, with just over nine minutes left in the third quarter.
Mallett wasted no time breaking Miss State's momentum and a pair of Stoerner's records on the first possession of the second half. Mallett found Cobi Hamilton cutting under the State coverage. Four downfield receiver blocks and four evaded or broken tackles by Hamilton later, Mallett had his 30th career touchdown responsible and 27th career touchdown pass on the 64-yard effort.
Dixon matched Mallett on the next play, taking the handoff from Relf, bounding off two Razorbacks before breaking into the open for the 70-yard touchdown to return the margin to seven, 28-21.
For the day, Dixon finished with 24 carries for 176 yards, but after his touchdown run was neutralized by Arkansas' defensive adjustments.
Arkasnsas put the score back to two TDs with a six-play, 50-yard drive, moved along by a pair of D.J. Williams first down receptions. Mallett evaded two Bulldog rushers, and throwing off his back foot on the run to Greg Childs for the back of the end zone made it 35-21. It was Mallett's fifth TD pass, tying his own Arkansas record.
Arkansas defense dug in against the Bulldogs, changing their approach to shut down State with two three-and-outs and no more scoring after the Dixon breakaway.
Following State's last ditch drive ending on downs, Arkansas marched up field for its only rushing touchdown of the game, a two-yarder from Broderick Green and the final margin of 42-21.
After the opening kickoff, it didn't look like the smooth offensive game it became for the Razorbacks. Arkansas' offense started rough with a pass batted down by Miss State on first down, then an interception by Corey Broomfield to give the Bulldogs the ball on their own 48 yard line.
Chad Bumphis picks the deep snap up off the ground as MSU went into a Wildcat formation. The miscue didn't limit the freshman "H" backs' run as he hit the right corner and turned up field through a large hole Rudell Crim saved the touchdown by pushing him out of bounds 49 yards later. Arnil Stallworth took it the last yard for the score and a 7-0 lead.
Arkansas came right back with a four-play TD drive of its own, set up by a 31-yard kickoff return by Johnson. Mallett got his passing back on stride with a 21 yard first-down pass to Jarius Wright to put Arkansas into MSU territory. Mallett first tried to go to the endzone first for Crawford, broken up by Marcus Washington, then found a wide open Joe Adams at the five yard line. The Little Rock sophomore broke two tackles for the 39-yard touchdown.
The teams traded punts for the next four possessions before the first of a pair of record-tying touchdown passes by Mallett.
Mallett stepped back and lofted the ball deep, a good 45 yards in the air to the State 10 yard line where Hamilton took it over the shoulder in full stride. The 59-yard the strike tied Mallett with Stoerner for most touchdowns responsible for in a single season with his 29th. The four-play, 68-yard drive gave Arkansas its first lead of the game, 14-7.
Arkansas kept the scoring streak going on its next possession. State went three-and-out to punt to the Razorback 21 yard line. Using 11 plays to move up field on the longest drive — distance or time — of the half for either team, Mallett capped it off by hitting a wide open Wright for a five-yard score. This touchdown tied Mallett with Stoerner for most touchdown passes in a season.
On the day, Arkansas racked up 396 total yards with 22 first downs and considerable balance. Johnson closed with 11 carries for 40 yards while Green had nine carries for 25 yards and a touchdown. They led a rushing game that produced 83 total yards.
State finished with a considerable amount of yards, 376 off 68 plays, but very little points.

Decoration. Tuesday , February 06th , 2018 - 17:05:02 PM
We love the hit of vibrancy created by the matching indigo art and scatter cushions in this example, the pop is very unexpected in a stark white room. A green accent piece breathes fresh life into a predominantly brown room, borrowing its beauty from natures own color scheme. Similarly, cohabits well with brown, evoking an autumnal atmosphere. Pink artwork will have a warming effect on your home décor, and is perfect for softening the cold hard lines of ultra contemporary pieces.
An oversized chess set along with a massive letter A indicate that this is a space for fun. Nothing is so wonderful as waking up to a sunny room and crisp white sheets. By creating contrast with light flooring and dark cabinetry, this space becomes a bit mysterious and a lot mod. The artwork in this home is on display and easy to spot amid the black and white decor. Two Douglas fir flooring styles in two separate homes, each featuring hanging light fixtures and minimalist modern furnishings.
This Image Keep your sewing supplies organised in your craft room by hanging cotton reels on hooks and keep scissors, pens and pencils tidy in mini hanging buckets. Use shelving above to keep jars and books off of the desk so you have a clear, uncluttered space to work.

The Story of a Good Brahman by Voltaire
The Story of a Good Brahman
I met on my travels an old Brahman, a very wise man, full of wit and very learned; moreover he was rich, and consequently even wiser; for, lacking nothing, he had no need to deceive anyone. His family was very well governed by three beautiful wives who schooled themselves to please him; and when he was not entertaining himself with his wives, he was busy philosophizing.
Near his house, which was beautiful, well decorated, and surrounded by charming gardens, lived an old Indian woman, bigoted, imbecilic, and rather poor.
The Brahman said to me one day: "I wish I had never been born."
I asked him why. He replied:
"I have been studying for forty years, which is forty years wasted; I teach others, and I know nothing; this situation brings into my soul so much humiliation, and disgust that life is unbearable to me. I was born, I live in time, and I do not know what time is; I find myself in a point between two eternities, as our sages say, and I have no idea of eternity. I am composed of matter; I think, and I have never been able to find out what produces thought; I do not know whether my understanding is a simple faculty in me like that of walking or of digesting, and whether I think with my head, as I take with my hands. Not only is the principle of my thinking unknown to me, but the principle of my movements is equally hidden from me. I do not know why I exist. However, people every day ask me questions on all these points; I have to answer; I have nothing any good to say; I talk much, and I remain confounded and ashamed of myself after talking.
"It is much worse yet when they ask me whether Brahman was produced by Vishnu or whether they are both eternal. God is my witness that I don't know a thing about it, and it certainly shows in my answers. 'Ah! Reverend Father,' they say to me, 'teach us how it is that evil inundates the whole world.' I am as much at a loss as those who ask me that question; I sometimes tell them that all is for the very best, but those who have been ruined and mutilated at war believe nothing of it, and neither do I; I retreat to my house overwhelmed with my curiosity and my ignorance. I read our ancient books, and they redouble the darkness I am in. I talk to my companions: some answer that we must enjoy life and laugh at men; the others think they know something, and lose themselves in absurd ideas; everything increases the painful feeling I endure. I am sometimes ready to fall into despair, then I think that after all my seeking I know neither where I come from, nor what I am, nor where I shall go, nor what shall become of me."
The state of this good man caused me real pain; no one was either more reasonable or more honest than he. I perceived that the greater the lights of his understanding and the sensibility of his heart, the more unhappy he was.
That same day I saw the old woman who lived in his vicinity: I asked her whether she had ever been distressed not to know how her soul was made. She did not even understand my question: she had never reflected a single moment of her life over a single one of the points that tormented the Brahman; she believed with all her heart in the metamorphoses of Vishnu, and, provided she could sometimes have some water from the Ganges to wash in, she thought herself the happiest of women.
Struck by the happiness of this indigent creature, I returned to my philosopher and said to him:
"Aren't you ashamed to be unhappy at a time when right at your door there is an old automaton who thinks of nothing and who lives happily?"
"You are right," he answered; "I have told myself a hundred times that I would be happy if I was as stupid as my neighbors and yet I would want no part of such a happiness."
This answer of my Brahman made a greater impression on me than all the rest. I examined myself and saw that indeed I would not have wanted to be happy on the condition of being imbecilic.
I put the matter up to some philosophers, and they were of my opinion.
"There is, however," I said, "a stupendous contradiction in this way of thinking."
For after all, what is at issue? Being happy. What matters being witty or being stupid? What is more, those who are content with their being are quite sure of being content; those who reason are not so sure of reasoning well.
"So it is clear," I said, "that we should choose not to have common sense, if ever that common sense contributes to our ill-being."
Everyone was of my opinion, and yet I found no one who wanted to accept the bargain of becoming imbecilic in order to become content. From this I concluded that if we set store by happiness, we set even greater store by reason.
But, upon reflection, it appears that to prefer reason to felicity is to be very mad. Then how can this contradiction be explained? Like all the others. There is much to be said about it.

Why is this?
Is it because the world is filled with many mysteries that educated (wo)men want to attain answers for but are usually unanswerable? How could one ever be sure that what one is told is the truth? I guess that's where faith comes into play. When there are thousands of theories, usually metaphysical or scientific, about what the truth is how can anyone be certain in their beliefs? and after learning them all, how can one choose?

It is quite a puzzle if one is seeking happiness. What I have found is that taking concrete actions, to "do", as opposed to "ponder" can produce happiness. That does not rule out thinking - you just have to put that thinking into action.
I, too, know a lot of people who are very content with their own status quo - in other words, they do not change a thing in their lives and are complacent and not curious. It can drive me mad.
Now I just have become action oriented to avoid sitting in my own!
So yes, in some ways, "Ignorance is Bliss", but I figure you get only one life ( at least like this life) and to learn and grow is to find happiness, but ya gotta do things. And some of the happiest things to do are those things which help someone else.

I love how he ends the story with yet another mystery. What I don't understand though is why the Brahman is so upset by the unsolvable mystery of life. The smallest of things, snails for instance are still mysterious, every day we learn more about them but we will never have a complete understanding of them and they are only a tiny part of what is almost an infinite universe. The universe is so wide and deep that we could all study it forever and never reach the end. Isn't that beautiful, that's only the material world. There's still consciousness, god/no god, good and evil. Why is there suffering? We have scientific, poetic, philosophical, and religious explanations, if we don't like the explanations which currently exist we can always make new ones, but we will not know the answer in this life. To me this is the joy of being human, that we are wise enough to try to solve life's mysteries while all the time knowing that they can never be solved.

Is that mean the explanation we used is just true for part of it when applied to science? Practical will be more outweight than those theory.We have scientific, poetic, philosophical, and religious explanations, if we don't like the explanations which currently exist we can always make new ones, but we will not know the answer in this life.

On happiness: I believe it was Abraham Lincoln who said, in essence, "A man is as happy as he decides to be."
What about the aging process? Will I one day know less, remember less, but be happier because of it ?"
However, I also believe that "great things can happen late in the game." Who said that? Was it a quote from the movie, "Under the Tuscan sun?"

Houston's favorite philanthropist and business owner is at it again! Mattress Mack, AKA Jim McIngvale of Gallery Furniture sent over three dozen first responders, veteran volunteers, and lucky residents on a chartered flight to Game 6 of The World Series. Here's the story from ABC News:
"Take me out to the ballgame" took on new meaning for dozens of Houston Astros fans on Tuesday when hometown hero "Mattress Mack," whose real name is Jim McIngvale, treated them to a chartered flight to Game 6 of the World Series in Los Angeles. Hurricane Harvey first responders, military veterans, and die-hard fans were among the roughly 40 passengers who boarded the chartered 737 plane for an all-expenses-paid trip on Mattress Mack's dime.
"We gave tickets to first responders and to fans, and just to see their face light up was repayment for whatever money I spent a thousand times over," McIngvale told ABC News. "The first responders are the true heroes of Hurricane Harvey, and what better people to send."
"I was taught in school, 'The essence of living is giving,'" McIngvale added.
Read The Full Story & Watch Video
This isn't the first time (by a long shot) that Mattress Mack and Gallery Furniture have worked superhero-level kindness to Houstonians in need. Just to name a few:
- Back in 2015 they gifted 30 Houston area flood victims free furniture for their entire homes.
- As recently as March, 2017, they furnished the entire home of a flooded grandmother for free.

Sabrrrrrrrres Sunday 2/17/13
The depths of winter is upon on. A still bitter cold morning is upon up in Buffalo. The type of morning good for sitting inside, sipping coffee, and reflecting on how sometimes, despite petty complaints it's pretty damn nice to live in a place like this.
And after that moment of reflection immediately turn back to the petty complaints. This dawning day those complaints will congregate around the topic of hockey, and more particularly the Buffalo Sabres.
The Sabres take on the Pittsburgh CrosNeaKins at 12:30 today here's your lead up to what it's store:
-The Sabres played the Bruins AGAIN on friday. Almost so many times that it's kind of drained the rivalry for me. On the other hand these games have so far given fans the best examples of how good the Sabres can be. This one was no different, and possibly even more of an anomaly as Drew Stafford finally got on the board and Tyler Myers did his best Erik Karlsson impression (too soon?).
-And speaking of Myers. Call me crazy but does it seem like the balance of power from Karlsson went directly into Myers body? How freaky is that? As Karlsson has progressed, Myers has regressed. Then the next game after Karlsson is down Myers looks like he can win the Norris. No stupid passes out of his zone. He did have one incident where he tried to carry it down load, got it stolen, and cause a rush, but it didn't lead to an odd man rush, and it didn't lead to a score. He looked like he was making passes with confidence. Holding onto the puck with confidence. And choosing his offensive rushes with confidence.
-So Myers is a head case? Remember when that was the line on Vanek? This should be fun.
– WGR got me all pumped up with it's stat heavy proclamation piece on why the sabres should attempt to trade for Ryan O'Reilly. As I am want to do, I came away juiced that this was a great idea. However, as reality of the situation set in I'm not as enticed by the idea. O'Reilly's stat lines are questionable in terms of his stability and overall quality. He had one good year, and it's hard to convince me if this was progress or anomaly. Another thing I recall is that he was a burden on the +/- in fantasy last year. Yes, I realize that both +/- as a stat and fantasy hockey might be the worst way to judge a player. But it sure can take you from fully confident to at least having some questions.
What I will take away from that article is their point made on the Sabres need for a 2 way Center. I think the jury is still out on Hodgson. It's only his second full year. To me, he really seems like the type of player who could totally develop into a solid 2way. Why not just ride him into that mold? The guy, in everything that I've seen and read is a hard worker. I think his back checking, and Dzone responsibility can get better. But I also think it's too early to write him off. I can probably keep going on about the merits of Hodgson, but let me get off this detour and get back to the Center position.
– Ennis, also is young, and can be molded. I'm not saying he will become a great defensive center, or even that they should try to make him one. That's not where his skill lies. To me they should keep letting him flourish in the offensive zone, because it's clear he's got serious play making ability. Consider the fact that he's on a line with Stafford, a guy that until Friday was on a career worst cold streak, and Foligno, a rookie who is more of banger than a skills player. What has Ennis done? Oh, 13 points in 12 games you say? He's an offensive firecracker. To alter his game I think would be stupid.
-All of that then goes back to a general what to do? Personally, I think the Sabres are good where we are. I think they should sit Cody down and talk to him about where he wants to take his game. I wouldn't show my hand to him and let him know they are asking because they are assessing long term plans, but I would at least see if the kid is ready to take the next step responsibility wise.
-The sabres only seem to show up for the Bruins games. Any chance we can trick them into believing the Pens are the Bruins. Same color scheme and all. I have a feeling this game goes to the Pens. They're just better than the Sabres. I think offensively they have the ability to match up to the Pens fire power. Not based on offensive skill (sorry, overall, not even close), but on potential matchups against their D. Orpik is solid. Letang is dangerous. But they don't do much to strike any fear into me. Not like facing Chara / Hamilton / Seindenberg / Boychuck. Not to mention Bergeron.
– The best bet for the Sabres to win this is to play a squeaky clean game. The Pens power play is unreal. They will convert. Don't test it. And to get in MAF's head early by scoring early. He's prone to bad games, and the sooner the Sabres start breaking him down, the better.
That's all I've got for this edition. See you next sunday.

NEOTEC Receives Global Recognition for Excellence in Economic Development
October 18, 2010
The Northeast Ohio Trade and Economic Consortium (NEOTEC) recently received an Excellence in Economic Development Award for their Global Business Development Initiative from the International Economic Development Council (IEDC). NEOTEC President and CEO Ron DeBarr accepted the honor on behalf of NEOTEC at an awards ceremony during the IEDC's Annual Conference in Columbus, Ohio, which annually recognizes the world's best economic development programs and partnerships, marketing materials, and leaders. The award was presented in the "Responding to Globalization" category for communities with populations of greater than 500,000. NEOTEC, a nonprofit, multicounty economic development partnership, works to attract business investment in the region by promoting domestic and international trade, and strengthening the region's distinct advantages as a business location. NEOTEC programs include the International Trade Assistance Center division, which provides export counseling assistance to area companies, and Foreign-Trade Zone 181, a global supply chain management tool that provides cost savings for area companies engaged in international business. "Through our Global Business Development Initiative, NEOTEC is committed to helping create global opportunities for Northeast Ohio companies and attract foreign companies to facilitate our region's economic growth," said DeBarr. "We are pleased to be recognized at a global level for these ongoing efforts." According to DeBarr, NEOTEC's programs have seen substantial growth and success in recent years. FTZ 181 covers nearly 5,500 acres at 26 sites throughout the region, and is recognized as one of the most successful FTZs in the country. To encourage economic growth through exports, ITAC staff members have counseled more than 180 small- and mid-sized companies throughout Northeast Ohio since 2007. The staff provides expertise in international trade compliance, procedures and issues, and offers numerous seminars and training events. These export assistance efforts have resulted in increased exports throughout the region, generating more than $2.5 million in export sales and $3 million in cost avoidance in 2008 and 2009. The International Economic Development Council (IEDC) represents 4,500 members, the largest network of economic development professionals in the world. Its annual Excellence in Economic Awards Program honors individuals and organizations in 28 categories for their efforts in creating positive change in urban, suburban, and rural communities."We recognize the Northeast Ohio Trade and Economic Consortium for providing successful strategies to promote new paradigms in economic development in this period of global recovery," said William Best, IEDC chair. "Our awards honor organizations and individuals for their efforts in creating positive change in communities. The Northeast Ohio Trade and Economic Consortium is showing that they are at the forefront of the economic development profession and are using innovative and effective practices that can be replicated in other communities."Responding to the globalization of the world's economies, NEOTEC developed its Global Business Development Initiative (GBDI) in 2007 to more aggressively assist area businesses with export sales development through its International Trade Assistance Center (ITAC), which NEOTEC began hosting in 2004. From 2004 to 2007, the demand for ITAC's export counseling services and training events had greatly increased. NEOTEC responded by forming the GBDI to expand the ITAC program through extensive efforts to secure additional partnerships and funding support. Recognizing that the attraction of international companies was another important step in facilitating the economic growth of Northeast Ohio, NEOTEC expanded the GBDI initiative in 2009 by adding foreign direct investment as a second objective. To achieve both objectives, the GBDI combines global partnerships, international marketing efforts, collaboration with regional, statewide and national organizations, an experienced international trade staff assisting with all phases of export development, and the Global Rapid Response Team, a team of dedicated professionals in a variety of global disciplines who are available to assist international companies with site selection and relocation issues. NEOTEC is based in Kent on the campus of Kent State University, which partners with NEOTEC in its economic development efforts.

Today was an interesting day. I sat and watched the Day 2 Keynote, looking at what VMware shows as the vision for the future.
I then went to watch a session on Virtualizing Exchange EA2631
I learned some things there:
Exchange has made itself (over time) better suited for Virtualization from Exchange 2003 –> Exchange 2007 –> Exchange 2010 due to less IO, and better design. Also, ESX has improved and the computers have evolved, so they have all joined together.
But on the MS Front, we have updated out sites with some new information from our Exchange and Virtualization Team on Virtualizing this Tier 1 application. Check out Zane's Blog Post for more information.
After lunch I went to the VMware Head to Head comparison of VMware vSphere and ESX and Hyper-V with some SCVMM, and Citrix. It would have been a better conversation if it would actually have been more than one side. Their big comments on Architecture differences and memory overcommitment were old and tired. They were biased and based on conjecture. They commented that our "integrated" solution is a bunch of applications which we do need to work on, but when they showed them all, they showed many twice, and and some that you wouldn't use except in some cases, but not when loading other apps that they showed.
They said we don't have a Host Profile equivalent, when if you look at what System Center Configuration Manager does, it does a lot of what Host Profiles does. Of course they didn't mention that to get Host Profiles, customers would have to buy the Enterprise Plus SKU.
They failed to mention that if you are comparing vSphere with Microsoft Solutions, you have to include all of the SMSD products, NOT just VMM and a little OM.
They failed to mention that you have to pay 3 times more to get a VMware Solution than you would have to pay to get the comparable solution from Microsoft, I wonder why?
Are we Enterprise Class? Yes, we are.
Do we have some work to do? Yes, we do.
Is VMware scared? Yes, they are.

This original piece on Brunei Malay Weddings was posted by SirTambak. Nice one!
Many have written their own versions and understanding of Brunei Malay weddings. Writing from experience of being involved in the whole wedding process or from a guest's point of view or the Bride or Groom's point of view.
Weddings are huge events in Brunei. A Sunday without a wedding somewhere in this country would be like no internet connection for 12 hours. Last year I attended some weddings of distant relatives and also my close friends.
Back in college, my gang and me, we called ourselves 'Barang Dapur' would figure out who would get married the first and the last. I was the youngest in my gang, so I was definitley the last to get married and that prediction is true.
All my friends in 'Barang dapur' have gotten hitched and three of them, 'Sudu', 'Sambal' and 'Sinduk' are now proud father's. Everytime I see them for 'Teh Tarik' or just bumping into them at a shop somewhere, the question would pop up. 'Bah Bila??'
My Fiance and myself have encountered this alot and we have come up with different answers all the time. Practice makes perfect.
Possible answers:-
'Ada tah tu' - 'We'll see'
'Tunggu saja' - 'Just wait'
'Alum ku puas bujang' - 'I still want to enjoy bachelorhood'
'Jan tah ingar' - 'You don't have to worry' (No exact word in English to describe 'ingar')
'Lau ku kawin ada ku manggil' - 'when I get married, I will invite you to my wedding'
'Malas ku kawin! Mahal' - 'I don't want to get married! Its too expensive'
'Ko mau sponsor?' - 'You want to sponsor me?'
So many things to consider and so many things to plan. The 'Antar Berian' ceremony, The 'Nikah' ceremony, The 'Berbedak' Ceremony and the grand finale - The 'Bersanding' Ceremony.
2007 will be a major year for myself as I will go through these various traditional Malay wedding ceremonies for my wedding. So I revisited MR BR's posts about weddings and he has quite a collection :-

Wedding cost again - link here
Brunei Wedding practices - link here
Questions to ask before saying yes - link here
Bunga Telur - link here
I think I am missing a few so I hope Mr BR could fill me in on some more wedding related articles if I missed any. My big day, insyallah will be in June.
We decided on the date last year in November and we have settled some major things for the wedding and it did not struck me that I was really going to go through with this until last night.
I was pouring a glass of cold milk when my father asked me what colour would I like to have for the family. The usual Brunei wedding is that the close family will be wearing the same colour 'baju cara melayu' and 'baju kurung' or better know as 'Sekayu'. I asked him why was it my decision and my father said 'Well this is 'Your' wedding'.
As if my head my hit by a 9 degree Stiff flex shaft Titleist driver. I am getting married this year and we had a 'Father Son' talk about how my preparations have gone so far. We still ahve som many things to do but at this rate, I figure we are doing a reasonable job at planning our wedding.
So I will start counting down the sunsets before I am binded lawfully and rightfully to my Fiance that one afternoon in June 2007.

The dissipation of Tropical Storm Emily in the Caribbean Sea on Thursday removed much potential for change in our weekend's weather.
The possibility of a tropical storm passing off the state's East Coast threw a small question into the forecast for the next three days.
Even if the storm passed well out to sea on the other side of the state, forecasters at theNational Weather Service office in Ruskin couldn't discount its potential to have some effect on Saturday, mainly more clouds and rain.
Instead of Emily possibly smearing more cooling clouds over us, the storm's destruction on the mountains of Hispaniola leaves Saturday looking similar to Friday, only possibly hotter.
With high pressure still controlling most of the conditions, things will remain hot, though forecasts starting Friday and through the weekend do return rain chances closer to what we expect to see this time of year.
Forecasters say we'll see 40 percent rain chances on Friday and possibly 50 percent on Saturday.
Temperatures, though, will be above normal and hit the low 90s around New Port Richey and middle 90s away from the coast in Land O' Lakes.
The average daytime high for early August is 90 degrees and the average low temperature is 76.
So it's back to afternoons when the combination of temperature and humidity will make things feel like about 105.
That's except for Saturday when the weather service says the heat index could be close to 110 degrees, especially inland.
We can also expect the nights to continue providing almost no relief as the low temperatures remain not so low, falling into the lower 80s near the coast and only a few degrees cooler inland.
On Wednesday morning, low temperatures set several records not for the coolest temperature on Aug. 3, but for the warmest Aug. 3 morning in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Sarasota.
The low of 82 in Tampa and St. Petersburg broke the record of 81 degrees in 1941 in Tampa and of 80 degrees set in 2009 in St. Petersburg.
In Sarasota, the low of 80 degrees broke the mark of 79 degrees set in 1954.
The remains of Emily, a large area of thunderstorms, will continue to drift to the west northwest over Cuba and the Bahamas.
There is a chance the storm will reform once it passes Cuba, forecasters at the National Hurricane Center said.
Emily, never a well-formed storm, was torn apart by the mountains of Hispaniola on Thursday afternoon, contrary to all but a few of the intensity forecast models that predicted Emily would survive and become a hurricane by Sunday or Monday.
That leaves the 2011 season with five named storms but no hurricanes. Typically, the first Atlantic hurricane arrives by Aug. 10.
And typically, a hurricane season doesn't produce five named storms until Aug. 31.

Lymphoid Pathology
First Online:
Lymphocytic infiltrates are near inviolate accompaniments of cutaneous dermal pathology. Lymphocytes in variant numbers can be seen in the vicinity of superficial dermal vessels and the adnexae in most biopsys specimens. Increased numbers of lymphocytes may, however, represent a pathologic condition of a diverse etiology. These entities encompass a variety of inflammatory (i.e., acne/rosacea), infections (i.e., herpes simplex virus) and neoplastic (i.e., lymphoma) conditions. Each of these diseases' states with particular attention to its histologic presentation in the setting of frozen sections or Mohs pathology are presumed herein.

An Update from LWF Upper Nile, South Sudan, 1 October, 2012
by Mairo Retief, Team Leader, Emergency Hub in Upper Nile, South Sudan
It has been a slow start with the flooding that reduced movement to a minimal in the last 2 weeks and then this week there was a riot between the host community and a refugee at one of the camps which meant no agencies were allowed to travel for a few days. Things are calm again and LWF program staff have landed on the ground so we are hoping to get things moving in the coming week.
The riot was related to a payment of a host to a refugee for tea in the market and escalated into 16 wounded and 1 death after the refugee beat the woman from the host community. This was a trigger to an underlying issue of the refugees coming in and using host community resources. It will only get worse and there needs to be a strong move by the camp management agencies with UNHCR to bring the two together to resolve any disputes and to discuss how best the two communities can live in harmony.
LWF have acquired land for a compound and this week a fence has been put up around it. We are still waiting for our equipment from Nairobi to come by cargo flight but the tax exemption is taking longer than expected. Once the materials arrive the team can move forward with setting up the compound, so we continue to stay at the UNHCR compound in Bunj.
We have recruited national staff in Juba and should receive education and child protection officers next week to support the expat staff.
Discussions are ongoing with Save and Intersos as to how best LWF can work in the camps in the areas of Child protection and Education. Again without our materials it becomes difficult to get activities running but we are hoping that we can get them in soon. We will begin recruiting incentive staff in the camps in the coming week and then training them. We hope that in 2 weeks we will have at least one school with ECD and CFS running.
But the pressure is on the team right now to get things moving, as we are asked in the interagency meetings how fast we can get our activities started.

This time last year, I was at a Young Single Adults' (YSA) Conference (for church) in Kentucky. I had been feeling somewhat juvenile when they handed me my jade-colored t-shirt and later I was shuffled out to the hallway to meet the other members of my "group." (That's right, I was being assigned to a group, in order to maximize socialization. Definitely feeling juvenile.) I was also feeling a little out of place, and hoped I wasn't the oldest person there. (I wasn't, but I thought I might be.)
Anyway, all I remember about that hallway is a pair of red tennis shoes who walked over to introduce themselves. Their owner was tall, handsome, and seemed gregarious as he stuck out his hand to shake mine. We exchanged names briefly and were then hushed by our group leaders as people began circling up to do introductions. When it was my turn, I said, "My name is Cammie, I'm from Colorado, I live in Alabama, and I like to do triathlons." Chad, the handsome man to my right, also introduced himself, saying he had recently moved to Kentucky and was from Idaho. He then hissed at me, "You do triathlons? That is sooo cool." I sensed the enthusiasm of someone who had some connection to the sport, and asked him if he did them too. "Yeah, I've done a couple," he said. "I'm more of a runner, though." Ohhh, I liked him.
After the introductions, our group walked back to the dorms together. Chad and I chatted the whole way. He was in dental school, I found out. Although, I didn't find out much more than that. I'm a little ashamed to admit I think I talked about myself a lot. I was just so taken in by his rapt interest in whatever mundane thing I was saying--my normal role of conversation-starter and keeper-upper went right out the window and I shamelessly droned on about grad school, or therapy, or. . . something.
My thought process about Chad went something like this: He is cute. He seems normal. He likes triathlons! He's smart.
Truthfully, I don't even remember how our conversation ended. Once we got to the dorms, we were shuffled into a "social room" for snacks. The room was noisy and filled with people and as soon as we got there I looked for the friends I came with, joining them as soon as I spotted them. It's weird that I don't remember being aware Chad was in the room after that (he assures me he was). I honestly thought he was a nice, cute guy who I'd be happy to see around over the next few days. I felt reassured that there were cool, nice guys left in the world, even if it didn't cross my mind that this particular guy would have any special significance for me.
This story is kind of like a lot of other stories about times I met people--some people who I met only once, and others who became important pieces of my life. Of course, I wouldn't tell this story were it not for the fact that Chad became one of the most important pieces of my life over the weeks and months to follow. I feel really, really grateful for that warm summer night in Kentucky and the handsome man in red tennis shoes.
|Do you see us? It's too bad I was too shy to ask him to take a picture with me that weekend. I definitely had my camera. Thanks, facebook!

Piper Holt's only after one thing: a man who's only after one thing.
Previous lovers demanded either subservience or her heart, neither of which are up for negotiation, so Leo Carson's attitude makes him her ideal match. Handsome, shameless and equally impulsive, he appears to want nothing more than a white-hot overnight liaison.
'Overnight' somehow develops into the entire weekend but come Monday morning, pride keeps her back turned and Piper walks away. Denying her own feelings doesn't mean that Leo has none though, and if she's going to atone for hurting him she'll have to admit the 'one thing' she now wants is the man she's in danger of losing forever.

I had a chance to travel up north to Chiang Mai again. This time, my destination was a Thai Ridgeback Dog
kennel of Jack Sterling, an American dog breeder who many people in dog business know very well. Jack had
told me about his background and the reason why he was interested in our Thai Ridgeback dogs. In 2002, his
story was published in a Thai newspaper called "Khom Chad Luek", the issue of the fifteenth of December.
So I'd like to take this chance to republish that article because it will give a chance for us to know more about
Jack's life.
The story of a businessman who is absolutely pleased with the Thai Ridgeback dogs is revealed by a fifty-five
year old American man, Jack Sterling, who breeds 15 Thai Ridgeback dogs and Thai Bangkaew Dogs in the
suburbs area of San Fernando in California, America. Jack has imported Thai Ridgeback dogs to America 10
years ago.
" I imported the first Thai Ridgeback Dogs to America in 1994. I named my male "Sakorn" after the area
where he was born near Bangkok.... SAMUTH SAKORN... He is one of many son's of the TH Champion TRD
called "BULL" owned by the late Somsit Leelhusuwan. The same BLUE TRD that was used as the "model dog "
for the BLUE dog which was part of a set of 4 postage stamps printed in 1993.....
BULL was one very beautiful TRD." Jack said."
The inside of Jack's house is full of various sizes of dog cages. The backyard is big enough for the twenty Thai
dogs to run around comfortably. Right now, Jack has 19 Thai Ridgeback dogs; 10 in the gray color, 3 black,
and 6 in red; and 2 Bangkaew dogs, which are various ages. Some of these dogs are Thai dogs with American
nationality. But the studs and the breeding bitches are the real Thai dogs that Jack had bought from Thailand.
Most of Jack's dogs have the Thai names, such as Bo-Dang , Jumpee, Chaiyo and Sakorn.
" I became interested in Thai dogs in 1994, especially Thai Ridgeback dogs... One of my friends in Hawaii told
me to go to Thailand and find my future.. When I arrived in Bangkok I stayed in a small hotel that had 4 silver
blue colored dogs running freely in its courtyard.. These were the first time I saw the breed on March 15th
From 1994 to 2003, Jack traveled from America to Thailand several times in order to buy the Thai
Ridgeback dogs from his friends Mom Somkit, the late Somsit Leelhausuwan, Khun Pitak and Khun Siri in
BangNa. and many others.
Jack told us about the major characteristics of Thai Ridgeback dogs. One is the line of hair running along from
the neck to the base of the tail in the opposite direction of the rest of hair on the body. The size of body is not
too big or too small. There are some black marks spreading around the tongue. The tail is long, small and
pointed. The ears are erected. Most of the dogs are in three major colors; gray, red and black. For white, it's
very rare to find.
" American people are crazy about Thai Ridgeback dogs in gray; Jack calls it blue, but the Thai are crazy
about the ones in red."
For 10 years, Jack has not only had these dogs for himself, he has also bred them and sold the puppies to the
American. Jack said that in the present time, there are more than 500 Thai Ridgeback dogs around America.
The price is about $2,000-$3,000 or about 86,000-129,000 baht. Some are worth more than $10,000.
" I will load all of my dogs in the truck and show them at the dog shows or the fairs. Not only the American
have a chance to know Thai Ridgeback dogs, it will give them a chance to know Thailand as well. Because
some American still understand that Thailand is Taiwan. I have to explain to then that Thailand is not Taiwan.
So it seems like I do one more job in promoting Thailand at the same time." Jack said.
Jack also said that there were many magazines and newspapers, such as New York Time, LA Time, Esquire
and Newsweek, had interviewed him as the pioneer who first brought Thai Ridgeback dogs to America and
introduced them to the American.
"One time, something interesting happened. Nicholas Cage, the famous Hollywood actor, wanted to buy a
monkey for his son as a present. He contacted me and asked if I had any monkeys for sell. I told him that I
had only Thai Ridgeback dogs for sell. He was interested so he stopped by. After he took a look, he really
liked them. By the time, there was one three-month-old Thai Ridgeback puppy in blue. I named him "LING",
which means monkey in English. So Nicholas Cage bought that one for his son."
Jack told us more about his story that he traveled with his Thai Ridgeback and shown them around the country
in at least 33 states. One time when he was in Washington D.C. for the dog show, after the show, he was
walking a dog near the White House. At that moment, the former president Bill Clinton was working out by
riding a bicycle around the yard inside the White House. The former president came up to Jack and asked him
about his dogs since they looked very beautiful.
Jack had to give knowledge about Thai Ridgeback dogs to the former president for a long time that Mrs. Hillary
Clinton suggested Jack to make a chart with information about Thai Ridgeback dog on it. So whenever
anybody asked him about his dogs, he could just hand them the chart so they could read the information by
themselves and Jack did not have to spend his time explaining the same thing over and over.
"I had an idea so I made the chart telling 10 characteristics of Thai Ridgeback dogs and hanged it around my
neck. When anybody was curious about the dogs, I would just give them the chart. So they could read and I
did not have to spend my time explaining to them." Jack said.
Jack also showed his great impression that he had toward the King of Thailand in the case that he loves and
takes good care of his Thai dogs, which Jack mentioned that Thai people and Thai dogs are very fortunate.
"I'm happy that the King loves Thai dogs because it has encouraged Thai people to give more love to Thai
Ridgeback Dogs, take good care of them and not let them become the street dogs."
And that is the story of Jack Sterling, the pioneer who brought and introduced Thai Ridgeback Dogs to
America. I, myself, have to accept his great ability in understanding the nature of Thai Ridgeback Dogs. When
I was at Jack's house, I saw almost 20 Thai Ridgeback dogs and Thai Bangkaew dogs running around the
playing with each other and I have to accept that I had never seen anything like that before. I think it is very
amazing because naturally these two breeds cannot stay together. If they stay together, they will naturally
fight against each other. So if anybody has a chance to travel to Chiang Mai, do not forget to visit Jack
Sterling's house and you will be impressed the way I was. Jack's phone number is 081-716-0420.
