A handwritten note from John Lennon to his cook at the Dakota, Gerry Bojack. Lennon tells him to "adjust the coffee grinder...to get the other one fixed"...and that the 7 grain bread that he bought was "no good...(N.G.)...it falls apart!" John would get up early...and write daily notes to his staff. This was written by Lennon in 1980.

Talk:Jock Stein
|This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Jock Stein article.
This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.

|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
Message to user[edit]
I've put a message on the talk page of the user in question, which is usually worth doing in cases like this. Let's see what happens. DJ Clayworth 19:17, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Famous Quotes[edit]
(Please note that I am not sure of the accuracy of such quotes, and any updates and other quotes are welcomed)
- "Celtic Jerseys are not for second best, They don't shrink to fit inferior players" Jock Stein
- "I don't believe everything Bill tells me about his players. Had they been that good, they'd not only have won the European Cup but the Ryder Cup, the Boat Race and even the Grand National!" Celtic Football Club manager Jock Stein on Bill Shankly -- Paddy :-) 17:55, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
- I think that this is a good idea, Paddy. Just verify the quotes first, so that you can prove that he really said them, then put them back in the article. Oh and we only sign stuff that we add to this discussion page -- not stuff that we put in the main article. Cheers -- Derek Ross | Talk 07:05, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
- I do apologise I am new to this and this is the first thing I have updated, I admit I should have read some Frequently asked questions and some rules or guidelines first, I sincerely apologise.
- I will find it difficult to produce hard evidence, however I am 110% sure he did say them, but I will try anyway.
- First quote "Celtic Jerseys are not for second best, They don't shrink to fit inferior players" Jock Stein is mentioned in a lot of Celtic supporters' websites, and is a quote I have heard various times. The fact that shirts with this quote are being sold does mean that this quote has a historic significance. Not The View (Celtic Fanzine).
- Other websites which feature this quote include the Jock Stein's Celtic Supporters Club in Melbourne (Australia)
- On the second quote, the fact that even the Liverpool's official website (Bill Shankly, who the quote talks about was arguably the best manager in Liverpool's history) has that quote, in my opinion and interpretation means that this quote is historically recognised by both sets of supporters (Celtic and Liverpool) therefore making it believable and somehow showing it has been said.
- Other websites where this quote can be found include This one Another Liverpool Supporters website
- I will post all evidence I keep on finding here, and hopefully soon it will be enough for this quotes to be featured on this website.
- I think the idea of resources being provided and facts needed to be proved is brilliant, as it makes this website really accurate.
- Finally I would like to congratulate everyone for making this website an excellent one, I think it is brilliant and I use it to clear any doubt I may have.
- I am still confused, should I signed this here? I will do it just in case.
- Paddy :-) 01:21, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
- Another quote which I would like to add.
- "We did it by playing football. Pure, beautiful, inventive football". - Jock Stein, Lisbon, 1967 (After wining the European Cup)
- Celtic's "Year of Triumph" - the Lisbon Lions & 1967 Website, by Mike Garrett.
- Yep, sign here on the discussion page. Don't sign the articles. (And consider getting your own login. It doesn't hurt, honest!) -- Cheers, Derek Ross | Talk 06:07, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
Adding the Quotes to the Article[edit]
I have just read the Editing Policy and I am still not clear on how long do I have to wait for the quotes to be added to the main article, or who should add them.
There is something on the Introduction we are told...
"Don't be afraid to edit articles—anyone can edit, and we encourage you to be bold (but please don't vandalize)! Find something that can be improved, either in content, grammar or formatting, and fix it."
"You can't break Wikipedia. Anything can be fixed or improved later. So go ahead, edit an article and help make Wikipedia the best information source on the Internet!"
So I figured out I might as well add the quotes to the main article.
I am leaving all these here just in case I am making a mistake, and If I am making a mistake, I do sincerely apologise in advance. Paddy :-) 03:10, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
More Quotes[edit]
One more quote added.
- "Football is nothing without Fans" Jock Stein 1
Paddy :-) 20:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
The "Big Jock Knew" Controversy[edit]
- "There was always talk around Celtic about Torbett and boys, but nothing seemed to be done until Jock Stein found out. He kicked Torbett out, but it was still kept quiet. All the directors and lots of others knew why Torbett got the boot, but it was swept under the carpet."
The Daily Record,John McLuskey former Celtic youth player and brother of former Celtic player George McLuskey in an interview with Anna Smith of the Daily Record 12/08/1996
All libraries in Scotland have back issues of newspapers. Phone the daily record and ask them to send you a copy. I have made it my lifes work? You seem to devote more time finding reasons to keep it out.Karatekid7 01:06, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Update: The above article is available on-line via www.highbeam.com. See below "Proposals for a solution" for details. Camillustalk|contribs 00:34, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry, KK7, but checking your contributions, you've done nothing else but add vandalism and slander to pages related to Celtic and "Catholics" since May this year. Not a single positive contribution. How sad.
- THIRTEEN times you've added this to the JS page. I have reverted it THREE times.
- In your earlier edits, you included the phrase JS "covered up...for 20 years until his death" - which proves: you can't even count.
- I stated to your "co-conspirator" B the B that I had no real objection to a mention of the Torbett affair in the article - but certainly not in the introduction - is this really one of the most important things to say about JS in a summary of his career?
- However, what I will not accept is any attempt to smear Jock Stein with any of this "Big Jock Knew" garbage. The man is dead (dying taking OUR country to the World Cup), and we will never know what he did and did not know, as we can't ask him.
- Answer this simple question please - what date Daily Record? Camillustalk|contribs 14:11, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
I can't count? It always seems strange to me that you make personal attacks. I may not be able to count(sigh) but you obviosly have serious problems reading as the date is mentioned.Karatekid7 15:46, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Very clever KK7 - If you care to look at the original edit, when I asked the question initially, you hadn't added the exact date - only after, without signing the edit, so it was less likely to be noticed. I think it's a bit rich of you to complain about personal attacks.
- It is a bit rich of you making attacks when you clearly cannot read. Don't try to say I tricked you.
- This is getting silly. If I can't read, how am I responding to you? As shown above, you added the date after I asked you. I didn't notice that you subsequently added the date. Anyone reading this would have no way of knowing it even was you that added the quote and the reference as you never signed it. Anyway, this is going nowhere. I'm starting a new topic (see below).
It is your responsibility to provide sources to justify claims. If you want the information in you get a copy of it with verifiable information as to date of publication, etc. All Camillus is doing is following Wikipedia rules on keeping unsourced information out of articles. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 01:13, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
I have quoted my source. Seems strange however that you banned me even when the sources were clearly indicated.Karatekid7 01:18, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Proposals for a solution[edit]
As I have stated before, I have no real objection to the Torbett affair being referred to in the article, however, certainly not in the introduction, as it can't be claimed to be one of the most important features of Stein's life (unless you're completely biased, or one of those people who have nothing positive to add).
However, I will not accept speculation about how much Stein knew about the affair. All we know is that when he found out there was something wrong, he kicked Torbett out. The details only came out at the trial in 1996, 22 years after Torbett had been kicked out, and 11 years after Stein had died. For all we know, Stein may have acted on a suspicion only; often when children are abused, they are afraid to say anything, so it is possible that Stein had no real proof of the abuse. Whatever the truth is, we will never know, as the man is long dead. There is no place for speculation (let alone slander) in an encyclopedia.
The above quote, even if verified, is not acceptable in this article. It is pure speculation, many years after the event. It might be permissible in the Torbett article, as he was the one directly involved.
I will welcome comments and suggestions. Hopefully this won't degenerate into a slanging match between KK7 and me, but will actually arrive at some compromise, or concensus.
Camillustalk|contribs 20:18, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- I found an excellent resource on line where you can look up newspapers from all over the world - it's www.highbeam.com.
- You have to login to see the full text of articles, and enter your credit card details, but you can cancel it within 7 days.
- So, I found the article cited above, by entering "Torbett Celtic" into the search engine.
- McCluskey continues:
- "It took me a long time to come to terms with what happened and understand it wasn't my fault."
- "I didn't even tell my brother George about Torbett until last week."
- Which underlines the point I made about the possibility that Stein acted on suspicion alone, as JMcC obviously didn't tell him, not even telling his own brother until 22 years later.
- Interestingly, McCluskey still loves Celtic, despite what happened:
- "I still love Celtic. I go to Parkhead every week and I'll be a Celtic man until I die.
Alan Brazil says in another article in the same issue: "It's taken me 23 years to tell what he did to me. All my life I've been too embarrassed to talk about it."
- Again, even one of the three victims was too "embarassed" to talk about it at the time.
In another article in the same issue there are these quotations:
- ...the victims were too ashamed to admit they had been violated by someone they believed in, so they suffered in silence.
- Again, my point about how much was known at the time, other than "rumours".
- The Celtic board were aware of the rumours about Torbett, who was general manager of the boys' club.
- But only one man took him on.
- Jock Stein, who saw the youngsters as the lifeblood of the club, gave him his marching orders.
Later in 1991 (and this obviously has nothing to do with Stein, being dead by then), another man, Frank Cairney, who was general manager of the Boy's Club, quit:
- "His resignation followed an alleged incident involving a young Celt. US police investigated, but the case never came to court because the boy wouldn't make a complaint."
In various articles, Alan Brazil and James McGrory, two of Torbett's victims, make the allegation that the Celtic board "covered-up" the scandal.
So does Hugh Birt, who took over from Torbett. He says that when he started, Stein told him that the club's reputation "must be kept clean at all times."
It is important to say that all three mentioned this only at the time of the trial, in 1996.
I hope that KK7 and others will appreciate that I have no interest in "covering up" or "censoring" information about this affair, having spent this time researching it, and posting the issue here.
However, I stand by what I said about the unacceptability of slander and speculation about Stein's role. I think that my research proves that the only thing we can be sure of is that Stein (literally, according to Birt) "kicked out" the beast, and that it is impossible to know how much Stein knew, as even the victims themselves were too embarassed or ashamed to tell anyone until 1996.
Finally, I would say that paedophiles can be found in all walks of life, and that everyone should be careful of just looking for them in the "enemy" camp. As a small point, and in no way to mitigate Torbetts crimes, I would say that he was accused of "fondling" and "kissing" the boys, so the old chant of "Who shagged all the boys" is an exaggeration.
Camillustalk|contribs 00:34, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Quite simply, there has to be a mention of it somewhere. It is a FACT that there are ALLEGATIONS that 'BJK' as they say.Archibald99 23:47, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
If it's a verifiable fact then it should be easy for you to find a verifiable source to that effect. Come back when you have done so. Until then, it stays out. --Guinnog 00:15, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- No, the only place you'll hear "BJK" allegations are on Follow Follow etc. ie. from fans of Stein's club's biggest rivals. If some Celtic fans posted allegations about Rangers, or Hibs fans posted allegations about Hearts, would these be acceptable as references? Of course not, and quite rightly so. Archibald99, you quoted my remark above that 10 years after Stein died, two of those involved are reported by newspapers as claiming that the Celtic Board covered-up the scandal. As I mentioned above, the only thing we do know is that Stein booted Torbett out. The players involved didn't speak about it till 10 years after Stein's death - one didn't even tell his brother - so we have no way of knowing what Stein knew. The only people who want to add these unverifiable claims are Rangers fans - I ask them, imagine some Celtic fans posted unverifiable allegations about say, Jock Wallace, and the only source was ETims.com or some such - you'd be up-in-arms, and I'd support you. Please give it up - these "allegations" are, and will always remain, completely unverifiable Camillus (talk) 23:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- Is there even a mentoin anywhere on Wikipedia of the Jimmy Torbett scandal? For a case which caused such controversy I'd say that it at least deserves a mention somewhere. Moustan 220.127.116.11 (talk) 15:00, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
- See Jim Torbett --John (talk) 16:06, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
This is an encyclopaedia - not a forum for speculation. I think that an article about someone that is dead should only include verifiable information about their life. If, after they have died, a verifiable fact about something arises which is relevant to the article, then it should be included. But the only verifiable fact is that Torbett was kicked out, and taken on its own, is not really something that should be included here. It is possible that Stein was acting on an uncorroborated suspicion which, had he been challenged in the courts, he might have been unable to justify. It might be the case that he was the only person prepared to act in those circumstances, sticking his neck out and taking a big risk for what he believed to be right. That is my perception of what probably happened, but that is my opinion and not the basis of an encyclopaedia article.220.127.116.11 (talk) 11:49, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Stein clearly had some information on the matter and the charge against him must be that he took unofficial action rather than taking his information (even if it was at that point uncorroborated) to the police, who could have then investigated. If the matter had been dealt with properly at that stage it might well have all come out much sooner. Torbett returned to Celtic Boys Club after being kicked out and that could well have been prevented if the police had been brought in at this much earlier stage. BBO (talk) 16:12, 26 April 2009
I'm aware this thread hasn't been touched for a while but regarding the above arguments, I do think that the whole BJK affair should be included for encyclopedic purposes. When it comes to sources for it, there are a few in archive websites that can be used and a few in the Big Jock Knew Wikipedia page. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 19:23, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
Blantyre Vics[edit]
Can someone please clarify something for me - re. Jock's early history - I have added a link to the Blantyre Vics page on Wikipedia, but as a boy from Blantyre I was always told that Jock played for Balntyre Celtic and NOT the Vics (in fact on the page I have done for Blantyre Celtic I have stated this as fact but stand to be corrected). So either way the info here or on the Blantyre Celtic page isn't correct. Celtic fans - feel free to add a shirt image on the Blantyre Celtic page - I don't know how to!! Ianguy 00:00, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
I am inclined to seek semi-protection of this article in order to cut down the addition of the speculative child abuse material. That will at least prevent anons and new accounts from adding it. Comments ? -- Derek Ross | Talk 15:08, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Knight him anyway[edit]
So what if he lost knighthood to the "Battle of the River Plate". I'm calling him Sir Jock Stein anyhow. 220.127.116.11 02:32, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Courtesy blanking[edit]
I've undone this, not because I disagree with the sentiment but because its execution was amateurish and has led to a rather broken discussion history. If removal of policy-violating commentary is to be performed it should be taken to the appropriate parties and done properly. For now, I've restored what appears to be the most coherent version of this page's discussion history and tidied it a bit for readability. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 16:59, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Can this article and talk page be unprotected now so that unregistered users can edit and make comments? We can quickly restore protection if necessary. --TS 19:58, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- Frankly, no. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 20:44, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- That's going a bit far. In principle we want all WP pages to be unprotected if possible. So I'll unprotect it for the moment. But at the first sign of trouble, I will protect it again. -- Derek Ross | Talk 22:45, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- So I see. Since there has been so much vandalism of the article page since its protection expired in July, I have reprotected this page and the article page indefinitely. -- Derek Ross | Talk 17:56, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

I've been trying for hours but I simply can't remove the gray border that shows up around the pictures in my posts and sidebar. I've read a ton of posts about this, but nothing works. Borders and paddings are already set to none and zero...
It might have something to do with my theme? I'm using sundance and blogging from trinemarie.com.
After I had removed all code that seemed to add borders I took a look at my page's source code and found this toward the top of the page:
#wpadminbar .quicklinks li#wp-admin-bar-stats a img {
height: 24px;
padding: 2px 0;
max-width: none;
border: none;
This clearly states that there's a 2px padding, but I have no idea where this code comes from. It is not in my stylesheet.

Jerusalem Bomb Explosion Kills One at Bus Stop, Injures 30
A bomb blast near a bus stop outside Jerusalem's central station killed one person and injured at least 30.
Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch said Palestinians were behind the explosion, and that it was caused by a bomb placed in a bag. Interior Minister Eli Yishai linked the blast to the rising number of rocket and mortar attacks on southern Israel from the Gaza Strip and warned that "if the trend continues then, no doubt, we will have to take action."
"We heard a blast and started running to the central bus station," Moti Buchenstein, a worker with the Magen David Adom rescue service, said on Army Radio. "All the windows of a bus were blown out and people were lying in pools of blood."
Today's explosion comes amid increasing violence between Israel and the Islamic militant Hamas group that rules the Gaza Strip. Earlier today, a rocket launched from Gaza injured an Israeli in the southern city of Beersheba. Yesterday, at least seven Palestinians were killed, including several civilians, in what Israel said were attacks aimed at stopping rocket fire.
"We are not looking to escalate but if this continues there is a possibility that this could also lead to a Cast Lead 2," Vice Prime Minister Silvan Shalom said on Israel Radio. "This isn't what we would have wanted but it is a possibility that could come out of future developments."
Cast Lead
Israel in December 2008 launched Operation Cast Lead, a three-week offensive against Hamas in what it said was a bid to stop rocket fire. More than 1,300 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed in that conflict.
The TA-25 Index fell 1 percent to 1,284.04 at the close in Tel Aviv and the shekel weakened 0.2 percent to 3.5380 per dollar. The cost of insuring Israeli debt jumped 16 basis points to 164, the biggest increase since Jan. 28, according to CMA prices for credit-default swaps.
Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said he "strongly condemns" the attack, "irrespective of who stands behind it." He issued his remarks in an e-mailed statement.
U.S. President Barack Obama said in a written statement that he condemned "in the strongest possible terms the bombing in Jerusalem today, as well as the rockets and mortars fired from Gaza."
Islamic Jihad
In Gaza, Islamic Jihad's military wing said it welcomed the bombing. Abu Ahmad, a spokesman for the group, didn't say it took responsibility for the attack. He spoke by telephone.
Hamas seized full control of Gaza in 2007, ending a partnership government with Fatah, the main movement within the Palestinian Authority, after winning parliamentary elections the previous year. The Palestinian Authority controls the West Bank. Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by Israel, the European Union and the U.S.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delayed his departure to Moscow for several hours to meet with the chief of staff and defense minister, his office said in a text message to journalists.
Jerusalem's police chief, Aharon Franco, said on Channel 2 television that at least 31 people were injured in the blast. One of the injured later died of her wounds, Carmit Orpaz-Yamin, a spokeswoman for Hadassah hospital said today.
Since March 19, at least 70 rockets and mortar shells have been fired from Gaza into Israel, injuring at least three people, the army said.
Earlier today, Netanyahu said his government is determined to protect its citizens from rocket attacks and the situation "may involve an exchange of blows for a certain period of time." Netanyahu spoke in parliament and his comments were sent in a text message to reporters.

Reported by Reuters today. CEO Marissa Meyers will shut down 7 underperforming product lines, including the Yahoo message boards
"Effective April 1, 2013, the Yahoo! Message Boards website will shut down. Our message boards on individual properties (like Yahoo! Finance and Yahoo! Fantasy Sports) will remain active. We also encourage you to ask and answer questions on Yahoo! Answers, and discuss issues in the comments section on Yahoo! News.
Official Yahoo Blog"
Sentiment: Strong Buy

Prostate Cancer Health Center
Prostate Cancer Screening Questioned
Dec. 3, 2002 -- Men looking for a simple answer to their questions about prostate cancer screening will find little solace in the findings of a major government task force. After reviewing recent research on the issue, the group says there is not enough evidence to make a recommendation for or against routine prostate cancer screening.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men and the second leading cause of cancer death among men, following lung cancer. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), 189,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in the U.S. this year, and more than 30,000 men will die of the disease.
Death rates from prostate cancer have dropped since the use of prostate cancer screening tests, such as the PSA blood test and rectal exam, became common in the 1990s, according to the ACS. However, there is no direct evidence that this drop is a result of screening tests.
The results of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force report appear in the Dec. 3 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Researchers say one of the biggest problems in evaluating the effectiveness of prostate cancer screening is that the severity of the tumors varies greatly, and the screening tests aren't very specific.
Many of these tumors grow very slowly and may not ever cause a problem for many of the men diagnosed with the disease. But current screening methods can only distinguish a small number of men with either the best or worst chances for survival. They aren't very good at making predictions about the survival chances for men who fall in the middle, which accounts for the vast majority of prostate cancer cases.
Although there are virtually no health risks associated with the screening tests themselves, experts say the risks associated with widespread prostate cancer screening lie in the uncertainties about the disease itself, how to interpret test results, and making treatment decisions.
Durado Brooks, MD, MPH, director of prostate cancer at ACS, says men need to understand that the PSA test, which measures the level of a protein produced by normal prostate cells as well as prostate cancer cells, still misses about 10% to 15% of cancers.

I installed Urtak on two sites, and neither are working properly.
First site, a Pageline child theme-iBlogPro, cannot be configured. We're receiving this error: "Selecting a site has been disabled because communication with the Urtak service has been interrupted." Within the post editor area this warning "The questions for the Urtak related to this post could not be retrieved. Please try again later."
The second site, a multi-site environment, and Urtak installed correctly and shows within the post editor area but the Urtak does not show in the post footers.
Any ideas?

Where Were You When Michael Phelps Won His Eighth Gold Medal?
We know you were drunk. But please tell us you still managed to find the remote.
As you already know, just after 11 p.m. on Saturday night, Michael Phelps accomplished a feat no human athlete has ever done before, by winning his eighth Olympic gold medal. After having won the 400 Meter Individual Medley, the 4 x 100 Meter Freestyle Relay, the 200 Meter Freestyle, the 200 Meter Butterfly, the 4 x 200 Meter Freestyle Relay, the 200 Meter Individual Medley, and the 100 Meter Butterfly, he joined the U.S. Team in winning the 4 x 100 Meter Medley Relay. All but one of those victories was also a world record.
So, um, what were you doing that night?
Your Daily Intel editors were scattered across the country, but we all watched Phelps (one even left a wedding reception in Jersey to go to a bar to watch him win), and yes, Chris cried. (Only because Mrs. Phelps was so adorable!) Did you? Anybody have a good story? And, if you didn't watch — dude, what's your excuse?

Jonathan Toews, Blackhawks grant a wish for four-year-old
This is really, really cool.
The Chicago Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins were preparing for an outdoor game at Soldier Field on Friday — the night before the game — when Chicago captain Jonathan Toews brought a special guest onto the ice.
That skater? None other than a cancer-stricken four year old named Nicholas Skretkowski, wearing a No. 19 jersey with the Captain's 'C' on the sweater's front — S-K-R-E-T-K-O-W-S-K-I across the back.
Make-A-Wish put the whole evening together for the boy, who has a medical condition called Wilms' tumor and strabismus, according to NHL.com.
"It was great … not just to be out on the ice with him, but to have him in here with the guys," Toews told NHL.com.
"He seemed a little shy at first, but then kind of got more comfortable. Someone asked him about his favorite team and his favorite players. He seemed like he knew a lot for a little guy."

Hemingway In Cuba
Cuba has created up an electronic collection of Ernest Hemmingway's photographs, letters and manuscripts. It also includes a previously unpublished epilogue to the author's novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls. The BBC reports that the project is a joint operation with Heritage Council and the US Social Science Research Council. Of 3,194 pages available documents, almost 2,000 have been scanned.
Right now, researchers have to request to see documents but the BBC suggests that the documents will soon be available online through the John F Kennedy library in Boston.

Tell us a little bit about the set? How big was it, and how much of it was created using the computer?
The set was gigantic. It was designed by Jane Morton, the English production designer, who used Maya as one of her tools. It was made in Poland by the Polish production designer Marek Skrobecki. It was all made by hand.
Your two films Stanley and Dog are very different from Peter and the Wolf. They seem to be based more on personal issues and in particluar issues in the home, and human relationships. You touch on different emotions, such as lust, anger and sadness. What messages are you trying to convey through your films, or should I say hidden messages?
I always work with layers of meaning in my films that are there to be explored by the viewer. If I was able to communicate them in writing I wouldn't go to the trouble of making the films!
What materials did you use to makes your models?
The puppets are made with traditional ball and socket and wire armatures in foam latex bodies. The animal fur is ordinary fake fur expertly laid in small pieces onto the bodies. The human hair is various types of animal hair such as llama wool. The human skin is made of silicone. The clothes are made of real cloth.
It amazes me how you are able to capture such emotion through the eyes of your models, especially in your film Dog. Is there a special technique you use to do this?
The eyes are very important to me to convey emotion. The eyes in both Dog and Peter and the Wolf are ordinary painted plastic beads. I use glycerine to make the eye surface wet and sometimes animate the glycerine itself. But mainly the illusion of life is achieved by subtle movements and acting.
The animals in your films are very realistic. Did you study real life animals to capture their movements?
Yes, I filmed crows, runner ducks and fat cats as reference for the animators. I also spent a couple of days at a wolf sanctuary to study wolf behaviour and movement. I would have loved to send the animators to the same place, but unfortunately the budget would not stretch to that. I would have loved them to have the same experience as I had, really feeling the spirit of the wolves first hand. I assumed before I met the wolves that they would be very similar to dogs, but they are very different indeed, in spirit and movement, and I would have loved for this to come across in my film.
Are your characters based on people you know, or are they purely imaginary?
I am inspired of course by events and people in my life and my own experience. Some characters might be based physically on real people, but that is as far as it goes.
What are you working on now?
I am writing a feature, working on a fun, small short and i'm open to commercial work.

From Our Listeners
Letters: Satellite; Deficit Reduction
Melissa Block and Lynn Neary read emails from listeners.
LYNN NEARY, host: Time now for your letters and several listeners wrote in to correct us on a story we aired yesterday. It was about a retired research satellite that's making its way back to Earth, albeit in pieces, expected to rain down later this week. First, we mistakenly said the satellite weighs 1,300 pounds. Apologies, we dropped a zero and should have said 13,000 pounds.
We also said the satellite, quote, "has been sucked into Earth's gravitational pull." But, as David Hitlin(ph), a physics professor at California Institute of Technology points out, that's not quite true. Professor Hitlin writes: The satellite, of course, as with any satellite of the Earth, never left Earth's gravitational field.
MELISSA BLOCK, host: Well, Scott Porter(ph) of Seneca Falls, New York, heard or story about the falling satellite, as well as another piece from yesterday's program about President Obama's deficit reduction plan. And together, the two stories reminded him of a bit of comedy gold from 1979.
Porter writes this: heard a half block of your program yesterday and listened to satellites falling back to Earth and an economist explaining that taxing the rich at 50 percent would barely put a dent into our deficit woes. The satellite story got me nostalgic for the John Belushi bit on Skylab falling back to Earth on Saturday Night Live. So I peeped it on YouTube. In it, not only does Skylab crash into his apartment in New York City, he laments paying the government 50 percent of his money.
JOHN BELUSHI, ACTOR: Hey, here's John Belushi in his apartment in New York, here he's not worried about Skylab, no. That's silly. You know, I mean, what do you know - it's just like a pizza. (inaudible) Do I have any reason to be worried or be afraid? The government takes 50 percent of my money that I earn every year. They should be spending it on mass transit, solar energy, clean up the environment.
ACTOR: But no, no, they have to spend millions (inaudible) a few pieces of steel (inaudible).
NEARY: Thank you for your letters and for a good excuse to play some John Belushi tape.

Things checked for/tried so far:
- Removed any invalid shortcuts in the affected folders
- Got user to log off and back on to ensure drives connected properly
- Increased idle timeouts on network drives
- Disabled "Robustified UNC"
- Disabled automatic hyperlink formatting
- Disabled anti-virus
Everything I can find points to dodgy shortcuts or disconnected network drives but this does not seem to be the case here.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Asssignment: Yell at the Ducks
posted by September 28 at 9:35 AMon
Jessica, a young Seattle woman, can't stand the Ducks.
Jessica spent this summer cursing the Ducks under her breath as she waited for her bus near Westlake Center. It's not just the passengers' quacking that pisses her off, but also the way the Ducks' tour guides casually comment on the Seattleites they pass, noting how they dress, what they're eating, which bus they're waiting for. Jessica wanted someone with a louder and more obnoxious voice to shout back at the Ducks.
I met Jessica on the corner of 4th and Pike on a sunny Sunday afternoon. She'd bought me a foot-long yellow bull horn at Daiso, the Japanese superstore in the basement of Westlake Center. She handed it to me, and we scanned the street for the next Duck. We waited about five minutes before the first one appeared. As the Duck began to approach us, something snapped. Well, someone. Jessica went batshit.
"Your families don't look like they're having very much fun!" she yelled at the tourists. Then she looked at me and said, "Aren't you going to yell!? That's why you're here! To help me yell!"
I did not share Jessica's anger. To me, the Ducks are a minor annoyance; a kitschy Seattle tourist attraction I've never recommended to guests. They don't make my blood boil. Jessica tried to make me angry. She sang the "Low Rider" song that blasts from every passing Duck. I had to agree with her; the song was irritating. Then she started to feed me some lines. She recommended, "Stop looking at us! You're not in Disneyland!", which I shouted. I followed up with, "Show us your boobs!"
Yelling into the Daiso bull horn made me look a bit like a raving downtown schizophrenic.
As I began to practice my yell, people across the street stared at me with anxiety. Fifteen minutes later two Ducks appeared simultaneously. They were driving fast! I yelled "stop looking at us!" and the crowd on the bus cheered. I don't think they understood I was trying to be a jerk. Jessica bristled. We waited for more Ducks. Finally another one came and I yelled the same command. The tour guide on the bus called back to me and said "You don't need to salute me sir, I'm just a boat captain…at ease."
I thought it was a pretty good quip for such short notice and I wondered if he'd been tipped off by other Ducks' drivers. Of course, Jessica didn't appreciate it.
We took a couple pictures of the passengers. One lady looked shocked.
Here's an embarrassingly unfunny video we made:
Seattle's eleven Ducks, which travel the Space Needle, Pioneer Square, and Fremont, have been in operation since 1998. The ducks operate all year long, although the company cuts back on days in the Winter. Right now ducks depart from the Space Needle six to eight times a day, seven days a week.
After the assignment I did some research on the company. According to the P-I, a Seattle duck sank in Lake Union in 2001 after passengers were evacuated. This was just two years after a duck owned by another company sank in Hot Springs Arkansas, killing 13 of the 20 on board. The U.S. Coast Guard wrote in a report that the boat took just 30 SECONDS to sink after the captain realized it was in distress. Just like that. Plop.
I called the company to see whether they had anything to say about either sinking. Ten minutes later, I was talking to Brian Tracey, the owner of the Seattle Ride the Ducks.
Tracey told me the Seattle boats share little mechanically with the duck that sank in Arkansas. He was also quick to insist that the Seattle boats have been modified since the Lake Union sinking. "They're even bullet proof!" he told me.
I told him about my assignment. Tracey laughed. He offered to meet with Jessica and told me he was surprised that she—and by extension, all the citizens of Seattle—didn't enjoy interacting with the ducks.
"Most people in Seattle love the ducks," he told me. "Some people even dance on the street when they go by." His cluelessness was adorable.
Tracey told me he thought a ride on the ducks would make Jessica a convert (uhhh no). When I told him I wasn't sure if she'd be interested, Tracey told me, "some women are just pissed off at everything and can't stand people having fun."

We recently discovered that our Hubspot CTA buttons on our Home Page were having issues in IE8.
- They were not showing up (invisible)
- Also hiding/killing all page content below them
We tried pasting the raw code in there and wrapping some styling around it, AND also using the Hubspot WordPress plugin and inserting the shortcode - neither worked.
For now we used the themes default button generator, and are tracking via Bit.ly, but would really like to get back to using Hubspot's CTAs.

We have demonstrated ten-stage cascaded wavelength conversion together with 800-km transmission for 10-Gb/s return-to-zero differential phase-shift keying (RZ-DPSK) format using four-wave mixing (FWM) in semiconductor optical amplifiers. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first experiment reported on cascade wavelength conversion for RZ-DPSK format, which cannot be realized by methods based on cross-gain modulation and cross-phase modulation using a semiconductor optical amplifier. Compared with wavelength conversion using FWM for conventional on-off keying format, the signal-to-pump ratio for RZ-DPSK format can be increased to higher level to achieve better performance.

Selling a business is a bit like selling a house. You have to make it look nice on both the inside and out to maximise your chances of success. Here's how to do it right:
1. Allow plenty of time. The process typically takes at least a year from setting the wheels in motion to getting the money in your hands, and preparing your business for sale can take up to six months before that.
2. Roll up your sleeves. Accept that you will need to put some effort into tidying up your business. The good news is that it will not just make selling it easier, it could significantly increase the price you can get for it too. If cutting out unnecessary costs increases the profits from £500,000 a year to £600,000 a year, for example, and tidying up the accounts and appearance of your business raises the price earnings multiple you can get from 8 to 9, you will end up with £5.4 million instead of £4 million.
3. Do things in the right order. Do the tidying up first before you embark on the sales process - don't leave it until you have already got going. Mark Mills, founder of Comerga, which helps SMEs prepare and sell their businesses, says: "What most people get wrong is they get some approaches from buyers, decide to sell and start the sales process. Then they try and improve things. But by then they are having to do the improving and tidying up in front of a whole audience of advisors and the buyer."
4. Be ruthless. Look objectively at every aspect of the business through the eyes of a prospective buyer. The website, your office building, your factory, your position in the market, your branding, your marketing materials, your staff. Just as in selling a house, it is often the little things that can kybosh a sale.
5. External physical appearances matter. First impressions count and particularly the first impression a potential buyer has of your business. It shouldn't matter so much, but it does. Mow the lawn outside your office, get the door repainted, put a shiny new sign up outside. If someone tells you these things are not important, they are wrong.
6. Get all the paperwork in order. Prospective buyers obviously want to see up to date accounts, cash flow statements, and so on, but they also don't want to see weird anomalies and one off payments or exceptional charges popping up in those accounts. Your accounts should be clear and simple and easy to understand.
7. Cut out any unnecessary costs. Buyers will want to see a lean efficient business that has pared its costs to the minimum, not a flabby one unnecessarily squandering cash. Scrutinise the firm's expenses and get rid of anything pointless, flashy and excessive. A potential buyer will be really put off by the idea of having to come in and cut costs themselves.
8. Don't spend the earn-out in advance. Regard the amount you get upfront as the sales price, and anything else you may get via an earn-out based on future performance targets as a bonus which may or may not materialise. A change of ownership changes everything about a business, including its prospects, and in reality many people get nothing from an earn-out - and many others end up falling out with the new owners long before that moment arrives anyway.
Finally - keep it a secret. Do not tell your staff, customers or suppliers that the business is up for sale until you have found a buyer and done a deal, because uncertainty seriously damages businesses. Far better to be able to announce that you are selling because you were made an offer you can't refuse, than to have to admit you put the business up for sale but couldn't find a buyer.

This was that type of improv that gives improv bad name. Self-aggrandizing, not funny, amateurish. I went two nights, hoping it would be better on a weekend night but it wasn't.

Christchurch man David Holloway was making arrangements for
his wedding to his South African sweetheart when he was
killed on a British building site last week.
Mr Holloway, 35, became engaged to fiancee Nicky McCloy last
July and the couple were planning to marry in South Africa
this November.
But he died after being struck by a container at the building
site where he was working in Colchester, Essex, last
Close friend Ferg MacClure said Mr Holloway met Ms McCloy
about two years ago when he was in London.
"They originally met through work and got to know each other
over a few drinks," he said.
"We were organising a stag do for the week before the wedding
planned for November 15."
Mr MacClure, who visited Mr Holloway and Ms McCloy last
August, described the friend he'd known for some 14 years as
a "top bloke".
"We flatted together," he said. "He had a typical Kiwi
personality - a heart of gold and as loyal as a pitbull.
"Dave would do anything for anyone and was as funny as hell.
He was one of the funniest three people I've ever met."
Mr MacClure said he understood from talking to Mr Holloway's
family that he was killed after being hit by a container.
"He was working about 20 meters beneath a container weighing
about 1 tonne. I'm not sure if it fell on top of him or he
just got clipped by it.
"By the time paramedics got there he was dead. They tried to
revive him, but unfortunately they couldn't."
Mr Holloway's parents, Jim and Joy and sisters, Kate and
Kiri, were in London for Mr Holloway's funeral. He was to be
buried there, with a memorial service held when the family
arrived home.
Mr MacClure said Mr Holloway, a former Cashmere High student,
went to London about 2010 for his "typical OE".
"He decided he wanted to go and work in London. His
grandmother was English and he had a working visa," he said.
Mr Holloway had a variety of jobs before moving to Colchester
where he worked in construction.
Mr MacClure said Mr Holloway's death was a "huge shock".
"He was one of my best friends ... the sort of guy you'd
expect to be having a beer with at 50.
"He was a straight shooter and spoke his mind. He was a fiery
ginger (redhead) who loved his tattoos, his fast cars and his
music," Mr MacClure said.

Since I have upgraded the new version of this plug-in I noticed that if I don't add a website to the listing, the label still displays. I think this confuses people when viewing it and it makes the content look incomplete.
Here is an example, the first 2 books were recently added, the 3rd one was added before I upgraded.

MP3 ID3 Java Tag Library Tool
This Java software is useful to set id3v1 and id3v2 tags on mp3 files, possibly in a massive way. It helps you managing a song database, searching for duplicate songs. It has a rename file utility, not only for mp3 files. It has an utility panel to create playlists, re-organize files in folders with the name format you prefer, an utility to optimize the CD disk space. This program was written in 2002, so I don't remember much about it ... but I used it a lot, as much as my close friends. I decided only now (shame on me) to share it with everybody in the world. Hope you'll like it, also the program's help is fully working now !!! Nice to install eclipse and debugging something 10 years later ... Please rate the software once you've used it ! Also need still to learn how to upload souce code with git, but also that will come soon or later.4 weekly downloads
