Is it better to uninstall LMS 4.0 completely and then install LMS 4.2 or could I do a direct upgrade?. I've heard the db tables etc. have changed a lot and might cause problems for a direct upgrade.View 5 Replies View Related

I'm trying to restore backup after upgrading Cisco Prime v4.1 to v4.2. However, getting the following error in the log. [code] The log shows the error is a continuous one and affraid it may be a loop. Currently my restore progress is stuck at 70%RME restoration.[code]View 2 Replies View Related
I have upgraded NCS 220.127.116.11 to PI 1.2 lately. The installation process completed successfully.But now i am not able to log in to the GUI anymore as root. After entering the password all I get is a blank site (undefined).I get the same result with all known browsers. Rebooting or restarting NCS does not change anything.View 12 Replies View Related
after an upgrade of NCS 126.96.36.199 to CPI 1.2 on green field, it was not possible to reuse the GUI. During the upgrade, I''ve shortly seen an oracle DB error, but the upgrade was going through, without problems.At the end, it was not possible to use the GUI, and every trial to start the services was stopped with errors.I've found the following severe Bug ID's in the support forum: Bug CSCuc29378 Prime Infrastructure 1.2 won't start after a db restore/Upgrade from NCS220.127.116.11 Oracle DB bug as well: CSCtw59460.I see only a new installation from scratch (1.2) as solution, but the bug is not resolved in V1.2, as seen in the bug tool.
- As the customer has an v.1.0 license who worked with NCS 1.1.1, do I need an upgrade order to be able to activate an installation from the v 1.2 ova (new PAK)??
- I'm searching for a one year CPI partner license, because I heard about in some Cisco Live sessions, but I did not find a way to acces´s to it.
Im getting a bit confused about the whole upgrade migration process for the following config to Cisco Prime Infrastructure:
LMS - Version 4.1 , 500 devices. Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1
NCS – version 1.1 , 50 devices Red Hat Linux ( 64 Bit) (Installation software - NCS-VA-18.104.22.168-small.ova)
I want to be able to backup databases and migrate licensing from LMS and NCS to one platform.
I have a client who has LMS 4.1 with SAS support, I know that I can upgrade him to the Prime infrastructure for LMS and NCS, however he is licensed for 100 devices. He also has WCS 7.0 with 50 AP licenses, I want to upgrade his LMS to Prime infrastructure and then migrate his WCS to NCS, but how do I know combine the both so that he is on one platform.View 1 Replies View Related
We just purchased the following items:
I want to know how I can upgrade to the latest version of Cisco Prime Infrastructure.
I'm currently running CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 on Windows 2003 under VMware and just got upgrade licensing for Prime Infrastructure 1.2. I am assuming that I will need to upgrade the current server to Prime LMS 4.2 in order to ensure that data migration to Prime Infrastructure goes well. I am planning to follow Cisco's recommendation to run Prime LMS and Prime Infrastructure in parallel for a time and migrate individual functions.
My real question is about Syslog handling. All of the managed devices are currently sending Syslog data to LMS. As a last step in the migration, is it possible to change the IP address of the Prime Infrastructure server to replace the Prime LMS server so that the Prime Infrastructure server will just start getting all the Syslog data, or do I need to go change hundreds of managed devices to point to a new address?
What is the relation between: cisco NCScisco Prime LMSCisco Prime infrastructure.As i orderd a Cisco Prime infrastructure from a Cisco Partner and what i got is :
x2 cisco NCS appliances
x1 DVD cisco prime infrastructure
x1 DVD Cisco prime 4.2
I have two Windows 7 computers and neither one will successfully upgrade a 1242 AP to LWAP. However, I go to a coworker's XP machine and run the tool without issues.

Is it possible to upgrade the CSACS-1121-UP-K9 to be a non upgrade part? We were going to upgrade from a Windows 4.x to the above Appliance (version 5.x) but there is now a reason to keep the old Windows version running therefore we cannot give the new Appliance the old ACS's licenses?!So we should have (with hindsight) bought a fresh version of the ACS 5.x rather than an upgrade.View 1 Replies View Related

Will Cisco LMS Prime 4.1 be getting a map module, so you are able to see a graphical map of up and down status of devices? I know the topology map is a module within LMS, but what would be nice to see is a graphical map, where you are able to manipulate the icons to place them on that status map.View 2 Replies View Related

[URL] it mentions that migrating from NCS 1.1.2 to CPI 1.2 isn't possible.
How can I get around this?
A customer is asking to upgrade their LMS 3.0 to Prime 1.1. However, the customer or their previous system's integrator never actually installed LMS 3.0. The licensing and PAK were never used as well. My question is, can I still use the migration top level part # R-PI-1.1-UP-K9 to upgrade LMS 3.0 to Prime 1.1 because there was no licensing ever installed? How would the migration of the current licensing work with the new licensing PAK if that is the case? Or does the customer have to purchase a fresh Prime 1.1 licensing (top level part # R-PI-1.1-K9) because LMS 3.0 was never installed?View 2 Replies View Related
After update to LMS 4.2.3 is get always a message to confirm when login:
"Server is capable for performance tuning. Please enable PTT ...."
Even when i setup PTT the message will come again next time i login.The message comes also several times after login.where to disable this message?
I'm trying to migrate old data from WCS 7.0 to Prime 1.2 ... I have already created the zip file from WCS and imported it into the defaultRepo on Prime. I see it in the directory when I do a show repository defaultRepo so I have confirmed that it is there. My issue is that it appears Prime 1.2.1.012 won't accept the cli command of ncs migrate.
how I can proceed with the migration? I haven't been able to find any similar command in the Prime CLI so at this point I'm lost as to where I should go from here. I really don't want to have to tell the customer they have to downgrade to Prime 1.1 in order for them to perserve their maps especially since the Deployment Guide for Prime Infrastructure states that it is possible to migrate date from WCS 7.0 to Prime 1.2 as shown below ...
Data Migration
Data can be migrated from WCS 7.0, NCS 1.1, or LMS 4.x. More details on migrating data from each of these applications are spelled out in the following sections.

Game, Lesson
|Via WinXP News, found this cool game. I caution you that it is probably guaranteed to account for some amount of mindless time that I won't be responsible for.
But look at the interface. Simple.
Where are the instructions? But you know what to do, and so you do it.
Why can't we do more of this with business applications?
Why do all the fun interfaces stay with the gamers?
Should we hire game developers for business applications?
What do you think?

personification of adhd
((Maxim Kehlenbrink continued from We Are Monsters))
Not Fields. Fields was dead. While Maxim was with Brendan, Ben was being killed. Good. Ben deserved to die. Ben was terrible. Ben rejected him. Time and time again. Well there'd be no more rejection.
But Lichter. Ben Lichter. His travelling companion and friend for the first day. He'd seen him leaving. He tried yelling. His voice wouldn't go loud enough. He tried making noise. Nothing. He tried chasing after him. His lungs twisted and burned. Once again they were so close. But once again they were so far away.
Maxim looked for Brendan. He chased him. He fell down the hill. He lost Brendan. He looked, and looked, and looked all day but neither him nor the boy he ran after nor the girls he left behind were there. He was alone again. His hope returned when he saw Ben, but he never caught up to Ben.
He'd vomited again. Not on himself. It decorated the point of his chin, the back of his hand. His clothes were still clean. His clothes would remain clean.
The library was a shell. A burnt shell. Bookcases twisted and crumpled. Books turned to ash. A solitary chair remained. The rest had been smashed or burned. Maxim sat firmly on this chair.
The bow, which had remained unused in his bag for almost a week. was sitting in his hands.
But there was something missing. Not the arrow. It sat in the notch.
But something else.
I can't sing but I wrote you a song
Wrong notes but the melody's so clear
When I'm lost, I'm still close to gold
cause I found my treasure in you

Chairman of C-Suite Network, former Bloomberg contributor and one-time guest judge on Celebrity Apprentice (with you-know-who), Jeffrey Hayzlett says the key to keeping network television alive is to adapt and change. Or else.
By Jeffrey Hayzlett
At a recent conference, Netflix Co-Founder & CEO Reed Hastings said, "The beauty of the Internet is that it can be personal." In the same speech, Reed went on to predict that over the next twenty years we will continue to see drastic changes in the television industry. Then in November, producer Chuck Lorre declared that network television was dead on the vanity card at the end of a Big Bang Theory episode ("R.I.P. Network Television: 1948-2015." —Chuck Lorre, Vanity Card The Big Bang Theory 11/2015). The brash statement was in response to CBS announcing new streaming options for viewers. While I'm not ready to put the final nail in the network's coffin yet, these statements did get the businessman in me thinking. If network TV really is dead, what does the future of the television industry look like?
As the founder of C-Suite TV, a digital business television network, I do whole-heartedly believe the future of TV is online and that some of today's largest players will get lost in the shuffle, because they won't adapt fast enough. I have advised businesses of all sizes for years and my first lesson is always to adapt, change or die. TV is no different.
The dilemma is not whether or not to go digital – that argument is over and it's been won. Go digital! The question now is how do we make money? How do we adjust decades old advertising plans or prevent pirating? These changes have been happening in other industries for a long time, but can the TV industry adapt?
According to analysts who spoke to the Hollywood Reporter, the first step is to stop licensing content to outlets like Netflix and Amazon Prime. While some executives see this as a fast and easy way to make money, others say it will lead to problems in the future. Time Warner CEO Jeffrey Bewkes said he was "evaluating whether to retain our rights for a longer period of time and forego or delay certain content licensing." While Disney CEO Robert Iger stated that he would remain flexible with providers but would evaluate for long-term damage.
However, analyst Todd Juenger of Bernstein & Co. suggests the industry needs to look towards the future and adapt faster. "Dig deeper," say these analysts, and it's clear that ad dollars are flowing away from TV and toward digital platforms, even as the biggest over-the-top platforms remain ad-free. Digital video has a 4.3 percent ad-spending share today, and it will grow to 5.9 percent in 2017, according to eMarketer, while TV shrinks from 40.5 percent to 38.5 percent in 2017.
When I look at these stats I'm reminded of a company I visited on my TV show The C-Suite with Jeffrey Hayzlett – Cadillac. Sometimes brands die, even iconic brands. It doesn't do any good to point fingers, make excuses, or shut the door and pretend things are okay. If it's over, it's over. But Cadillac wasn't dead yet, they were just on life-support. By the 21st century, anyone under 40 thought the Cadillac brand was for old people. Sound familiar?
Cadillac learned that they had lost touch with what the people really wanted or needed from a 21st century automobile company. Cadillac did eventually turn the brand around and get their mojo back. I don't know that network TV is on life-support quite yet, but we're getting dangerously close. So I challenge the industry to adapt, change or die because there will be plenty of people waiting in the wings to take your spot.
Here are a few tips Cadillac can teach the TV industry:
Avoid Course Correcting to Oblivion
Ask yourself, "What the hell are we doing and why are we doing it that way?"
Work to Overcome Perceptions and Expand Your Audience
In marriage it's nice to grow old together, but not in business. Cadillac had an audience it literally rode to death. You must constantly seek a younger audience. Will you alienate some older audiences? Maybe, but plenty of them will adapt with you.
"The Truth is Out There"
The longer you have been successful doing what you do, the more you have to work to avoid tunnel vision.
My advice is, don't dismiss the television industry entirely. There's no need to RSVP to that funeral quite just yet. As we enter awards season, you don't have to look far to notice the changes – Amazon's Transparent, Netflix's Orange is the New Black and House of Cards are still the rage, but network TV is still a viable way to get your message across. Just don't let it be the only way you're getting your message across. But digital is here and it's a fad, either, so remember: "adapt, change, or die!"

Dexter has two torn ACL's. He needs to have both repaired and physical therapy to strengthen his legs.
Dexter is a lovable 3 year old Rottweiler. He has torn both of his ACL's and needs to strengthen his legs and have both knees repaired. Dexter's owner could not afford to have surgery done for him, so she was considering to put him down. The Vet helped her find our Rescue, and we are happy to get Dexter all fixed up so he can hopefully find a forever home and have two much stronger legs to live and play the rest of his life as he should.
Please consider donating toward Dexter's surgery and up coming recovery. This handsome boy truly deserves to live the rest of his life without pain.

Besides Ashley Manning, I may very well be the only person in the world who thinks Peyton Manning is HOT! I've thought this for years. In fact, it's what first attracted me to him. In any case, I didn't think he could get more attractive to me than he already is, but WOW this new look just sent me over the moon, AGAIN:

Rare CD: Elton John "Friends" Soundtrack
"Up for auction is a super rare CD of Elton John's entire soundtrack to the 1971 movie FRIENDS. This is an official PARAMOUNT release. I do not know why it was released or when, my guess is the late 80's because of the source it came from. There is no date or no artwork. However, this is an original CD, NOT A COPY.
I do know that this is an extremely rare CD and the usually the FRIENDS soundtrack is only available on CD with the Elton John Rare Masters box set, and not even in it's entirety.
This CD would almost be impossible to find, most people don't even know this exists !
A stellar edition to any great Elton John collection."
Sold for $610.00 on ebay.

Just Wage is a campaign for lowering income gaps through the use of fixed salary ratios. We want employers, particularly social justice organisations such as charities and trades unions to commit to the principle that the gap between the highest and lowest paid workers should be no more than 1:5. For example, if the Chief Executive is paid £100,000, the cleaner should be paid no less than £20,000 pro rata.

To find out more about the reasons for the campaign, please read the FAQ.

Now that campaign 1, the Unite General Secretary campaign is over, this blog will be used for occasional updates with news from the equality campaign sector.

A highly recommended hub of information in the area of equality and economic justice is http://www.onesociety.org.uk

We all know where we are now - the income gap in the UK has continued to grow to obscene proportions and the Coalition government are pushing for regional pay as another way of lowering wages further. The unions have proved ineffectual so far in mobilising members to do anything more than a one day strike and marching from a to b to listen to a speech by Ed Miliband. Len McCluskey has called for an early re-election for himself, ostensibly so Unite can afterwards focus its energies on the next general election. Unite also now has 'Community Membership' that may be an acknowledgement of how high unemployment is these days.

As an international issue, income inequality has also reached the mainstream with the World Economic Forum acknowledging it as one of the three main threats to financial stability.

Joseph Stiglitz has said there is "a worldwide crisis in inequality".

On the other hand, the movement for a Living Wage has become a mainstream issue and is winning in workplaces and sectors all around the country, and the incomes of the rich are increasingly under scrutiny.Laurahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550688514586173516.post-51516712412206833262011-12-01T09:26:00.000-08:002013-01-12T10:14:51.318-08:00One year on - the 99%
This is an occasional review of how the discourse on just wages, wage ratios and equality is going one year on from the beginning of the Just Wage campaign.

First for the bad news - the gap in wages and living standards between Britain's rich minority and the majority is ever-widening, and the Coalition government's ideology and policies are set to maintain that situation for the foreseeable future.

However, history may well show that the extreme iniquity of this government's approach ultimately fuels and propels the discourse. Some examples of recent developments:

London Assembly Member Darren Johnson has called for a 'Fair Pay Mark' similar to a Fairtrade Mark. His report here.

 The Resolution Foundation has produced a tool for checking where you stand in the UK income distribution league table. http://www.livingstandards.org/features/where-do-i-stand/

The current National Institute Economic Review journal focuses on poverty and inequality and highlights that current government policies are likely to increase inequality and stifle social mobility.

Islington has become the first London borough to promise a maximum 10:1 pay ratio between top and bottom-paid paid employees.

Richard Wilkinson's TED talk on 'how economic inequality harms societies' nears half a million views.

71% of 11-18 year-olds say inequality was either mostly or partly to blame for the riots this year.

The Archbishop of York: "If [CEOs] have a responsibility to their staff, it is hard to imagine a more powerful way of telling some people that they are of little value than to pay them one-third of one percent of your own salary".

George Monbiot has written an awesome myth-busting essay on high pay "Intelligence? Talent? No, the ultra-rich got to where they are through luck and brutality."  http://www.monbiot.com/2011/11/07/the-self-attribution-fallacy/

And I would say most significantly of all, the Occupy Movement has addressed the roots and branches of economic injustice and given us the most useful 'ratio' of all as a powerful rallying point: 99%

The focus is particularly on the banks, and with good reason. As just one example: "Barclays' top executive's earnings have increased by a stratospheric 4899.4% since 1980, whilst wages for the average worker have only seen a three fold increase."

Even the private sector are doing some reflection. Here's a great blog post about "what the protestors are angry about":

In last 20yrs CEO pay up 298.2%, corporate profits up 106.7%, production workers' pay up 4.3%: http://t.co/9bdclV0q

To get regular updates about these issues, I recommend following One Society on Twitter https://twitter.com/One_Society and signing up for their newsletter http://www.onesociety.org.uk

In 2010, the UK's biggest trades union UNITE held elections for the post of General Secretary - their most senior elected officer. We asked the candidates in this elections to commit to:

1. a just wage within their organisations and

2. support for a campaign for just wage ratios in the sectors where the union organises (eg. nonprofit, public and private)

This blog kept track of the progress of the campaign, provide information about the reasons for the campaign and case studies of unjust pay gaps and salaries in the UK.

We also collected signatories for the campaign.

To find out more about the reasons for the campaign, please read the FAQ.

So it's Len McCluskey. I would say it's a great result that the fat cat's anointed successor did not win. Time will tell what approach the new Unite General Secretary to the growing gap in wages and wage ratios in particular.

This stage of this campaign is now closed, and many thanks to all the supporters and campaigners over the last months.

Here is what she has said to us:

I agree that the 1:10 Just Wage Campaign ratio although 'achievable' and an improvement on the government's suggested 1;20 is still too high.

A just wage ratio for Unite is an idea I support, whether this is 1:5 would need to be discussed with the union's workforce TU representatives. This is a challenging debate I welcome and would open interesting discussions about other aspects of the union's pay and rewards policy.

A politican's answer but broadly positive. Two candidates to go...

Mr. Hicks has contacted us and when his written response comes through it will be posted here. As many members may know, he has a previous commitment to an even fairer wage than 1:5 - as his campaign literature says, If elected Jerry Hicks would only take the average wage of a skilled worker.

We wonder if any other candidate will top this?

My background is in sociology and this survey makes my jaw ache. How can one say what a profession 'should earn' in a total vacuum? Is that a Personal Assistant in London or somewhere much cheaper to live? A Retail Cashier at Tesco or an independent shop? Does the income of the Premiership Footballer include all their sponsorship deals? The 'should' is presented as simply a comparison exercise with the other professions and yet we aren't given the option of ranking them in terms of mental, personal or physical effort or effects of the work, difficulty of access to the profession, impact on other people's lives or livelihoods... The comparison is presented in such a way that seems to imply that some jobs may deserve a salary as low as £10k - a salary that can scarcely be lived on in this country much less in London, much less without recourse to benefits & tax credits. Are we expected to think of the Train Driver etc. as a lone individual and not take into account the fact that most people also have families to support, or may want a mortgage - something unattainable on the average income in this country?

I dread to think what generalisations the programme makers intend to arrive at when they examine the completely inadequate results that can be got from a survey like this one.Laurahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550688514586173516.post-64193350806363740032010-08-09T10:49:00.000-07:002010-08-09T10:51:57.238-07:00Check where your wage fits inThe Institute of Fiscal Studies has a tool online that tells you where your income falls in comparison with the rest of the country.

Q: Is this about overpaid fatcats?
A: No, it's about proportionality, sustainable and responsible financial stewardship, transparency, justice and addressing the fact that income gaps contribute to social problems from crime to mental illness.

Q: What's wrong with wide income gaps?
A: Income inequality leads to worse outcomes for every member of society. Everything from health to child well-being to violence is worse in unequal societies. The evidence for each of these and more can be found at The Equality Trust's website: http://www.equalitytrust.org.uk/why/evidence

Q: Why a 1:5 ratio? Why not 1:4 or 1:6?
A: We don't believe this is the optimum just ratio, but it is a compromise between some currently used in the UK and what might seem a reasonable ratio to the average person. We advocate a 1:5 salary ratio within organisations generally, but in the case of trades unions, we advocate the highest paid union employee being paid no more than 5 times the lowest paid member. We believe this is important for linking the grassroots membership with officials and administrators and reflects the nature of the union as a social justice organisation. We also believe that 1:5 is reasonably adoptable across all sectors, including those with very different types of work within them.

Q: Why are you picking on trade unions?
A: We definitely don't aim to undermine trade unions, we believe strongly in human rights at work and democracy in the workplace. We also believe that the national administration of trade unions are in the ideal position to set an example of taking a social justice approach to wages. If they don't, who will?

Q: Does anyone already use a salary ratio system?
A: Some example ratios currently in practice:
Senior permanent civil servants have published salaries (2009) which work out at a ratio of about 5:1 ( highest £273,250, lowest £57,300)
The Ecology Building Society uses 5:1
The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) uses 4:1 at their administrative centre.
The Church of England uses 3:1 for clergy (2008 figures: archbishop £68,740, local vicar £21,600)
The typical amount that can be borrowed for a mortgage three years after the beginning of the credit crunch: 3:1 (3 times the borrower's salary)
A typical FTSE 100 company director earns 133 times the average salary.

Q: What is the average salary in the UK?
A: £24,000.
80% of us live on less than £35,000 per year.
Unemployed people on benefit have to live on £3,340 to cover food and travel.
The average house price in the UK (April 2010) is £168,521 (7x the average salary) and the London average is £336,409 (14x the average salary). Again, mortgage lenders usually only loan up to 3x the borrower's salary.
Fewer than 10% of us make than £100,000.

Q: Why a ratio rather than a cap on the highest salaries?
A: A ratio puts the focus on the lowest earnings within an organisation. We want to raise awareness about the fact that six-figure salaries and non-livable wages exist within the same organisations and even workplaces.

Q: Are you in favour of a maximum wage?
A: Yes. The extremely high payments being taken by people like FTSE 100 company directors increase social divisions and other social problems mentioned previously.

Q: Aren't pay differentials unjustifiable when we all have similar material needs for shelter, food etc?
A: Our stance is that pay differentials are both a cause and a symptom of an unjust society. The ratio campaign is one step in addressing one damaging aspect of our society and economy.

Q: What do you mean by 'low wages'
A: 22% of us live at or below the poverty line (£14,040 for a family with 2 children) (http://www.poverty.org.uk/summary/key%20facts.shtml).
Minimum wage is £5.80 (less than £13,000 per annum), which is not enough of a wage to keep people out of poverty even when topped up by benefits and tax credits.
A 'living wage', which would provide a minimum acceptable quality of life and doesn't have to be topped up by in-work benefits is (2009 figures) £7.14 and £7.60 in London. (see http://www.minimumincomestandard.org/livingwage.htm,
http://www.church-poverty.org.uk/campaigns/livingwage/ and
http://www.london.gov.uk/mayor/economic_unit/docs/living-wage-2009.pdf)
In 2009, 3.9 million people in Britain aged 22 to retirement were being paid less than £7 per hour. 2/3 of these were women. (http://www.poverty.org.uk/51/index.shtml#num)

Your salary affects your pension, your lifestyle and even your life chances. In Britain in 2010, over 20,000 people die every year because they cannot afford to properly heat their homes. A 2001 report on low pay in East London found cleaning staff working as much as 60 hours per week and still getting less than a living wage .
(http://www.geog.qmul.ac.uk/livingwage/pdf/mappinglowpay.pdf)
For more examples of the many ways a low wage affects people on a daily basis in every aspect of their lives, see:
http://fairpaynetwork.org/?page=low_pay_victims
and 'Hard Work: Life in Low-pay Britain' by Polly Toynbee.

Q: I spent 5 years at University, don't I deserve to be paid more than someone without a degree?
A: Does that 5 years really justify being paid several times more than someone else? Aren't their needs the same as yours?

Q: I worked hard to get to a senior position and I deserve to be paid more.
A: Again, it's about proportionality. If you're honest with yourself, does that work justify an extra £100K/2Million/10Million above other people in your organisation? Do you work 200 times harder than the people who clean your office and toilets at 5am every day then go home to care for their children for no pay at all?

Q: If senior people don't get paid more, there will be no incentive for people to work harder.
A: Is a salary increase the only reason you do your job well? Again, see the answer above.

Q: Why do you want to prevent people from being rewarded for success?
A: See previous two answers. Are the successes of a barrister worth 5 times the successes of a teacher?

Q: If we don't pay a six-figure salary, we won't attract the best people into our senior roles and succeed in a competitive market.
A: Where do these myths come from? Have you ever met your organisation's CEO? Do you really think their job is so hard that they must be 5x or 10x more of a genius than you are?

Q: Shouldn't redistribution of income come from taxes?
A: There are two commonly practiced approaches to income redistribution, one is through taxes before it gets to your pocket as done in Sweden, the other is capping your salary in the first place as done in Japan. We believe it should come through both, though we believe in grassroots social change first and foremost...

Q: Do you think that ratios and caps should be enforced by law?
A: No, we believe in social change through reason, free choice, public pressure, peer pressure and government incentives as a sweetener.

Q: Does the salary included in the ratio include incentives such as bonuses and expense accounts?
A: Yes.

Q: Will people support this campaign?
A: Yes, for moral reasons, for ethical and practical reasons because wide pay gaps harm society, for reasons of controlling budgets within their own organisations, and ultimately for reasons of consumer/donor and peer pressure.

As I was lurking on the #AussieEd chat this morning, one of the amazing educators on the other side of the planet tweeted about doing a 21-Day Gratitude Challenge. Sounds perfect! A great way to take a moment - for me, probably at the beginning of the day - to focus on something small for which I am grateful. Doing this daily (I love that it's 21 days: the amount of time needed to create a habit) will help me get my mindset right: that despite all of the crazy beginning-of-year chaos spinning around, that I can be centered, calm, and grateful for those moments and countless others.
#AussieEd's Brett Salakas (@MRSalakas) tweeted the idea, then Loretta Wholley (@LWholley) tweeted this photo. After a bit of digging, I discovered that it is the brainchild of Dannielle Miller (@MillerDannielle) and her work as a parent: "Gratitude: A Positive New Approach to Raising Grateful Kids." Something that can help me as both a parent and a teacher? Double perfect!
It is with gratitude to my new friends at #AussieEd and hopes of spreading the good word that I am borrowing it and using it here:
Starting on the first day back at school, Monday, August 17th, and ending Sunday, September 6th, I will be tweeting daily about a seemingly insignificant thing in my life, but one for which I remain grateful. Anyone who wants to join in is more than welcome!

Freezing hot!
Crystal Maiden or CM (in-game name) is recently my favorite DoTA hero. But first, please read her background story.
Adept in the manipulation of frost and ice, Rylai is the very image of elegeance and grace. Trained by a renegade wizard deep in the heart of Winterspring, Rylai brings to the Sentinel her prowess in the arts of magic. With a vast arsenal of spells, she wreaks havoc upon her foes - be it with powerful blasts of frost to send them fleeing in panic, or be it by rendering them immobile in ice. Her foes tremble in fear as the ground beneath implodes in mighty novas of frost in a dazzling array, obliterating all who dare oppose her.
Considered an intelligence spellcaster and disabler support hero, meaning she's in-charge in taking care of her teammates especially the Carry/MVP heroes. Anyway, Crystal Maiden's skills include Crystal Nova, allows her to blast multiple enemies with a chilling damage. Frostbite freezes a single enemy target disabling them for several seconds. Brilliance Aura, the best passive skill (which I believe) of all heroes in DoTA, talk about global fast mana regeneration so your teammates can spam their active skills. Lastly, Freezing Field, it causes random icy explosion on Crystal Maiden's surrounding area, all enemy units affected by Freezing Field are slowed down and damaged. Although she tends to be not the game's superstar, but still she's the most-sought, most valuable and hottest (the racks and curves, of course) hero in any team.

What great lines from one of the greatest messenger of peace throughout the world. Truth is indeed a great virtue. It requires courage and a large heart to be honest and own up to our deeds, regardless of the consequences. I was fortunate enough to graduate from one of the better universities of the country (Mumbai University) and one of the best colleges for commerce in Mumbai (HR College).This happened when I was in my second year of degree college (in the 3 year B.Com degree course). I was one of the most active students from our batch in college, and needless to say, had become quite popular as well as I had made a lot of friends in many different so-called "clubs" of my college. Naturally, I had good hold or reach as you can say, in my college and thus, I was in direct communication terms with my vice-principal. I had also bribed the college peon for attendance purposes and thus never had to face any attendance problems as all my attendances were marked by the college peon firsthand.
It so happened that one fine afternoon the principal of the college, Mrs. Indu Shahani happened to be on the rounds, and found something amiss with the attendance sheet of my class (since she knew me by my name and knew fully well that I was not a regular student). She was unfortunately in a bad mood that day and immediately called for the attendance registers for the other lectures of the day as well, and to her surprise, found that I was marked present despite not coming to college that day. She immediately rose to action and called the peon on that floor (who had marked my attendance) and scolded him for doing so. She, in fact threatened that she would remove him from the job. The next day, I saw a sad look on the face of the ever smiling peon's face, and happened to ask him the reason for it, to which he told me the whole story, that he was at the risk of losing his job and because of such reason of removal, no one would be willing to hire him and he would lose his means of livelihood and his wife and children would have to stay hungry. Immediately, I walked up to my principal Indu Shahani's cabin and requested her secretary to let me in, to which she kindly obliged. I confessed to Indu ma'am the whole story and apologized for my mistake to her. She got angry at me and scolded me for resorting to such a mioschief, but appreciated me for owning up to my mistake. Not only that, she also told me that since I had owned up to my mistake and was committing not to repeat the same in future, she would let go her decision to remove the peon from the job at my request. Overjoyed, I left her cabin and communicated the news to the peon. This brought a big smile on the poor fellow's face and he thanked me for my kindness. Definitely I scored lesser marks in the forthcoming semester due to lack of attendance, but I was happier, knowing fully well that these are marks rightly deserved by me and not due to any cheating.
Such great deeds of honesty make the world a better place to live in. Like the following video of Kinley Mineral water, which will inspire you to always speak the truth in all situations.
Thus life is meant to be pure and truthful, like every drop of Kinley Mineral Water.

Nervous Control of Walking in the Cockroach
Over the past few years there have been significant advances in our knowledge of the nervous events underlying the leg movements of walking insects. These include (1) the precise description of the discharge patterns of identified motoneurones and the correlation of electrophysiological and behavioural data, (2) the demonstration of central rhythm generators for producing the basic rhythmicity of leg movements, (3) the recording of intracellular events in motoneurones and interneurones during rhythmic leg movements, and (4) the effects on motor output of changes in feedback from leg receptors. The most intensively studied animal has been the cockroach. For this animal it is clear that central mechanisms determine the basic rhythmicity and reciprocity in the activity supplying the muscles producing the alternate flexion and extension movement of the femur. Preliminary studies indicate that non-spiking interneurones are involved in the central patterning of motor output.

Many of our clients come here just to catch Southwest Louisiana tackle busting Redfish. This week seemed to be one of those weeks when limits of the big boys came back to the cleaning dock for table fare back at home. Our anglers favorite way to cook them is on the half shell. (Recipe below) for the last few day steady north/northwest winds have continued to blow fresh water out of our marsh and the lake, Which will make fishing even better. Call toll free at 888.762.3391 and get in on some of this action. Here are a few pictures and you can see them all by clicking here. http://hackberryrodandgun.com/fishing/fishing-gallery/

By Adrianna Garcia
There was a girl named Gracie, and her parents had left for Las Vegas. They had left Gracie with a babysitter. Gracie had complained about having a babysitter. She had said that she wasn't a baby anymore. Then her parents had told her that if she didn't want a babysitter, she should act more mature.
After her parents told her that, and after they left, guess what? She acted more mature. Her babysitter stayed for about two-and-a-half days. After that, her babysitter asked if she still wanted to take care of herself. Of course Gracie's response was, "YES, YES!! I would love to!" Her babysitter said that she could only leave Gracie for that night.
This is where the bad part starts. It wasn't just one night that the babysitter was gone. It was already the second day. Gracie thought since she was so mean to the babysitter, the babysitter was so sad and didn't want to return. Gracie and her little sister Isabella were scared. First of all, because their babysitter wasn't there. Also, because they lived in a bad neighborhood.
It was a scary night. Gracie didn't sleep at all, but Isabella went to sleep at 7:44 p.m. and woke up at 9:55 a.m. Gracie didn't go to school, because then where would she leave Isabella? Gracie didn't know any other babysitters.
At about 3:00 p.m., Gracie's parents called. Gracie wasn't sure what to tell them. Since she was so nervous, she didn't answer the first time they called. She also didn't answer the second or the third call. Later, she tried to call them back, but they didn't answer. They couldn't answer because they were going into a show. There is a saying in Las Vegas that "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." So, while here parents were going into the show, they had to turn off their cell phones. Gracie thought they didn't answer because they were mad at her since she didn't answer the phone earlier. Gracie didn't know that her parents were at a show.
Half an hour later…Gracie told her little sister, Isabella, to pretend to lock the house. The thing is that Isabella heard Gracie say to actually lock it. The bad thing is that they didn't have keys. While Isabella and Gracie were out looking for their babysitter, she came back. I think that is a good thing because she did have keys to the house. When the babysitter walked into the house she was calling out, "Gracie, Isabella, where are you?" She said it in a playful way. She waited to hear a response…but she didn't. After looking in all three bedrooms, two restrooms, and six closets, she remembered that she hadn't looked in the basement. When she looked in there: nothing there either.
The babysitter left the house to go look for them. About fifteen minutes later, Gracie and Isabella went back to the house. They had barely missed her. The next day was when Gracie's parents were going to come back. The babysitter came back at about 9:15 p.m.
She came back so late because all that time she was looking for Gracie and Isabella. On her way home, she was wondering what to tell Gracie's and Isabella's parents. She started crying. Her plan was to go to the house, get her things, and go somewhere where no one would find her. When she got to the house, she wanted to check one more time, and so she screamed for Gracie and Isabella.
They were in the basement, but they were still able to hear her. They came up just in time, because their babysitter was about to walk out the door. They called out, "Dulce, we found you! Don't leave!" Dulce thought that she was just hearing them in her head. So she closed the door and they went running out and chased her. When Gracie and Isabella found Dulce, they told her to stay. It was an emotional moment for the three of them.
Then they went to sleep because they had to go pick up Gracie's parents in the morning. At about 7:45 a.m., they went to pick them up at the airport. When they got there, their parents asked why they didn't answer the phone. There was a silent moment. Then Dulce said, "We went to the museum."
But then when they got home and Dulce left, Gracie and Isabella told their parents the truth. So they didn't pay Dulce for her job. Dulce said that she was going to sue them for one-thousand dollars. The solution to this problem was to never ever hire Dulce again.

I so love pinterest! I even have a board I named Green Household Tips . I found a pin that had gunk remover.
Non-toxic replacement for Goo Gone!
The recipe for the remover is equal parts coconut oil and baking soda. I keep my coconut oil in my refrigerator and it will be more solid that way. I did warm the oil in the microwave before adding my baking soda. I was not sure if this goo would work to remove goo.
AS you can see I did use it on my honey jar and the label came off very well!! I have used peanut butter to remove labels but the clean up was a pain. AS anyone that has cleaned out a peanut butter jar. PLUS I would have to let it sit for a while to get most of the label off. And many labels where stubborn and would still use goo be gone on the last sticky stuff that won't come off!!
I also did a couple of plastic bottles that where left in the house. A sport drink bottle and a lemon aide bottle that the kids left here. I removed the sticking stuff off the plastic and didn't scratch the plastic up.... I am going to put some water in the empty bottle and freeze them. They are hopefully going camping with me this summer. I will use them to keep my food cold. If they melt they are drinking water!!
But the glass jars will be used to hold my sauces or dressings.
Looking for Sustainability ideas
I thought I find a way to keep costs down while still trying to stay eco-friendly. Trying to keep striving for sustainability. This a record of that journey.
Sometimes blunt and straight forward then sometimes sarcastic

Ok, I only saw the last two awards of the Emmys because I was working on a "project" at my folks so I'm checking it out online a bit. Now what is happening to the class for actors. Case in point....(I'm going to give you links but incase they change them tomorrow I wanted to put the pix too for you to enlarge!!!
Look at Jeremy Piven...what is up with that? I actually like the guy a lot. Love him in the one teen movie...First Daughter...maybe not? There were two out at the time but the one with Mark Harmon as the President. I thought he was a hoot & so adorable. I like guys like that. Masculine with a bit of the soft teddy bear goofiness! He was actually passionate too (character at least!) about seeing what is important in the moment! Ok, then he is in Serendipity & that was pretty cool. Look at him in the picture. His coat is too tight, the color doesn't match the pants...is that blue? He looks like he is on drugs! Like hey with my mom with me noone can arrest me! GEEZ! Poor mom!
Now in contrast...look at that MAN!!!!!!!! ;-) I don't think you can make Tom look bad! HA! I'm liking that gotee...hee hee...kinda funny with his signature mustache though. I don't care...what is that line...One Fine Day when Michelle Pfiefer's character's mom says "He is altogether Yummy!" Of course she is speaking about George Clooney at the time, which is true also but I think Tom qualifies too! :-) Just give me him in jeans, no shirt & barefoot! Ha! I'm sorry I just can't resist that in a man! Levi is a GOD! HA!
Side notes...I don't mean to be mean whatsoever with this. God knows Hollywood projects too much on on being thin and I certainly am no skinny minnie, but looking at Lorraine Bracco I got this thought of her doing Jenny Craig with Kirstie Alley & them doing some kind of competitive thing duking it out on commercials. Ha! The two of them hmmm who do you think would win that fight! Ha!
Also, seems saggy boobs is now in...look at the dresses! :-) Well, maybe the baby boomers are saying "who cares" and plastic surgery is too exhausting? I'll sure be happy! HA! Aging is hell! Especially when you are not...tiny! Ha! But as I say that is why God created fun Bustiers! ;-)
If you click on the links above you can then go forward & back & look at all the rest of the pix. Anyone have a favorite dress? I like the purple ones & especially that one with the jewels on the back.
Joan Collins is aging a bit but Morgan Fairchild "looks" like she is still doing ok, but who knows really! HA! I like Afre Woodard's too. I liked her in "Something New."
Ok, enough rambling...what do you think!

The ladies over at View from the Pews have started an initiative to encourage prayers for peace in our world. To get involved, simply commit to a prayer once a week (any day will do) on your blog. As the Boy was studying this prayer last night, here's our prayer for peace from the Ark:
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
-St. Francis of Assisi

I've been shooting Mackenzie Foy for several years now. It's such a treat to see her blossom into the success she has become. Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 debuts this week, and I had the chance to shoot her for an upcoming issue for Vogue-Bambini in my studio. This little girl still warms my heart, she is bright, cheerful, a joy to work with, and an absolute professional through and through.
In the next few months I will be compiling work from Mackenzie Foy's career (as shot by me), as well as others prints from well know child actors and models on my Pinterest page, and preview them here. Stay tuned. - D

Women Pay the Price for Health Insurance
key points from this illuminating story:
- Insurance companies don't want to pay for the high cost events like childbirth
- Women are more likely to get annual check ups & visit the doctor if ill
- Women pay up to 39 percent more than men for similar individual policies, even when maternity benefits are excluded.
Makes me think of that saying people laugh about- but it's SO true:
If men could get pregnant, 'family planning' would be a sacrament.
I guess we could also say: If men were having babies, or if they were brought up in a world where going to the doctor wasn't akin to admitting a weakness (see also: crying), health insurance rates would be EQUAL for equally healthy people, regardless of gender.

I already had a wonderful experience recently when we were in Edinburgh and Fife. We went there to arrange a new passport and combined this with a few art exhibitions and open studio events.
We stayed in an Airbnb appartment in Leith, the port of Edinburgh which we hadn't explored yet. Great pubs, restaurants and a very interesting historic display about the harbour. While walking we stumbled upon an exhibition organised by students of Edinburgh College of Art in DOK Artist Space.

How innovative to house young artists in a tin shed which was built in the Second World War! I loved the interior with the steel walls, bolts, some rust peaking through and it worked very well as a background for their beautiful artwork.

Trina Bohan showed a selection of her expressive life drawings and landscape paintings in her spacious studio.

I was in particular intrigued by environmental artist Chris Drury's Land and Language I-Looking South from Eaval, North Uist. How he was able to build up a picture of a landscape by arranging all the names of the hills and lochs visible from this point is mindblowing!

Our last visit for that day was Summerhall where there was an exhibition as part of the Science Festival. It's a very interesting building and has lots on offer artistically and culturely. The art pieces that stood out for me were Beneath and Beyond: Seismic Sounds by Stephen Hurrel. It's a live feed audio-video installation which is produced by constant movements and tectonic shifts beneath the Earth's surface. Data/vibrations from hundred seismic stations around the world are translated into unique sound arrangements that are experienced in real time along with their corresponding visual representations (lines and waveforms).

The other one was Black Hole Horizon by Lily Hibberd & Extreme Light Group. It's a 3D sound installation based on Extreme Light's artifical rotating black hole experiment. The black hole horizon is created where the water flow's velocity is faster than light's constant speed. Light doesn't have the force to resist the flow.

The next day, when it was stunning weather, we visited the Royal Botanic Gardens. At the entrance we were treated by a wonderful exhibition "After the Storm". Members of the Scottish Furniture Makers Association produced contemporary furniture from salvaged timber from storm-damaged trees.

On our way back home again we stopped at various little villages in the Kingdom of Fife where artists had their Open Studios that weekend.
We met the makers at Falkland Furniture and visited the newly built building across where Woodworks is based. This is a innovative programme for enterprising and creative young people who wish to learn about woodland culture and make more of Scottish woodlands. We met Islay Gray, a furniture making student of Fife College and her work is wonderful!
It was a delight to see that two printmakers were showing their work too. Claire McVinnie, who is printmaker at Dundee Contemporary Arts Print Studio, explained how she created her stunning botanical monoprints. Our last visit was at Jean Duncan's house and studio. I was truely inspired by her organic themed prints and handmade paper.

Driving back north my head was buzzing of all the wonderful things I had seen and the friendly encounters we experienced. I can't wait to experience our own NEOS as a visitor this year!

21 July 2008
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London...I'll show you something to make you change your mind...
London: Year One...
Yesterday, Sunday 20th July 2008, was my one year anniversary. I've been over here for a whole year already, can you believe it? I can't, and I'm living la vida limey, baby.
So much has happened in the past year and yet the time seems to have flown by so quickly. I've been thinking a lot about the last 12 months, all the way back to the day I arrived and how excited and scared I was. It was the first time I'd ever been truly on my own and I'd never felt as grown up. Paradoxically, I'd never felt so much like a child wishing an adult would come and tell me what to do.
Yesterday was a day for reflection. I thought about the flight over here, my longest international flight ever, and the ingrown hair on my arse which was painful enough to begin with but after sitting on it for 25 hours I was ready to cut my buttocks off with a plastic butter knife. I thought about the dreary drizzly miserable weather and how it hasn't really let up the whole time. I thought about all the places I've lived and all the flatmates I've had (3 and 14, respectively). I compared the Me who arrived here, my whole life stuffed into a ridiculous over-sized novelty suitcase, not knowing anyone, no safety net, and all sorts of expectations; with the Me who sits here writing this: am I any different? Have I changed? Have I grown? Have I achieved the things I set out to achieve? I had no idea what life would be like over here. All I hoped was that it would be interesting and challenging and I would have loads of new experiences and have my horizons expanded...and it's certainly been all of that. It seems like every week something new happens and I get to do things I would never have expected (or been inclined) to do back home.
But more than anything else I thought about what I left behind and what I'm missing out on. I don't get to see my kids grow up and share in those special moments, big and small: I don't get to see them performing with their school bands, or sit on the couch and watch cartoons, or go bowling on the weekend, or ride our bikes to the library, or sneak in at night before I go to bed and kiss them goodnight while they're asleep. I don't regret my time here, but as we all know it's easier to lament the things we don't have rather than appreciate the things we do. I've learned a lot about myself and what I'm capable of and what my limitations are and what's important to me, so for that alone it's been worth it. I've met some amazing people and had my horizons expanded and learned more about the world in this past year than I could have dreamed in the previous 36. I still can't say whether London is the town for me...it has it's moments but I still feel like we're not truly compatible; I can live here but I can't thrive here. When your life's in turmoil and you're being buffeted along by the raging current, it's tempting to reach out and grab hold of something to anchor yourself, to get some permanence. When you've not had a routine for a long time you start to miss it and suddenly predictability becomes appealing. But routine can very easily slip into rut and you find yourself making compromises to avoid having to make tough decisions. But that's how we evolve, right? No payoff without gamble, no reward without risk, no gain without pain. I sacrificed too much to get here and I made a promise to myself that I would never compromise myself again just to make someone else happy. It sounds selfish but when the shizz comes down the only person who is going to take care of me is Me. I know I say that a lot and, while I still believe it, sometimes I wonder if I'm trying to convince myself that it's true.
So what does the future hold? Buggered if I know! I've officially resigned from The Guv so the last remnant of safety net is gone. While I'll stay in London for at least another year beyond that I'm not sure what will happen. I'm not ready to come back to Oz but I haven't thought about where I might go from here. While it's nice to have options I can't help but think that maybe the Littlest Hobo in me is starting to stir again; just when things start going OK I start thinking about moving on. What's up with that?

One of the main goals of this seminar is to help you compose a set of informed and polished materials for your Fall 2016 R&C course. I'll ask you to start work on your course in a bird by bird fashion, drafting one short document each evening this week. These will include:
- A course overview or plan,
- One or two key writing projects you will assign to students,
- A template for a WordPress course site.
In addition, I'll ask you to post three reflections on your teaching to this site at various points during the fall. I also encourage you to check in on the site from time to time and to comment on the posts of your colleagues. My hope is that these posts and comments will allow us to continue the conversation we start in this seminar. They will also provide some starting points for our talk together when we meet in December for our recap session.
Please click on the links above for more details about each of these tasks. I'll generally ask you to bring five print copies of your writing to each of our meetings. But I will also set up some shared folders on Google Drive where you can post documents directly to me. Finally, I need to ask you to set up a free account on WordPress.com, if you don't already have one.

We are very pleased that we chose Filmman to shoot our wedding video. Not only were they always friendly and obliging when meeting up to discuss details of the shoot, they were also flexible in the type of package that they were willing to provide. We really love the video which they prepared for the wedding dinner and it was well received by everyone who watched it.
We would highly recommend Filmman to anyone who is looking for a videographer to film their wedding, special anniversary or event.
Thanks so much!!
I know I can't be that far from you If we're both looking on the same side of the moon
Paul & Weiwen

Older A-As at 2100gns each
Older A-As at 2100gns each
AGE was no barrier to breeders bidding for Aberdeen-Angus females at Borderway Mart last week.
Two eight-year-old cows from the reduction of Notts-based DCMoss &Sons Curzon herd sold at 2100gns apiece, but it was a heifer and calf that led the trade at 2200gns.
That was called by Mrs B Needham, Barnard Castle, Co Durham, for the heifer Curzon Ebonnie. Sired by Prince Charlie of Newfield, a bull bought by the Moss family at Perth in 1995 for 5000gns, she was sold with a heifer calf at foot by the Royal Added Value son Evor V81 of Blelack and was in-calf to him again.
Mrs Needham tapped in to more of the same family with a 2100gns bid for a 1991-bred Ebonnie by Heath House Oscar. This cow, sold suckling a heifer calf by the Blelack sire.
The other senior cow at 2100gns was Curzon Proud Gema, a good sort by the successful bull Sunset Acres Bang. She also had a heifer calf by the Blelack bull – whose progeny were widely admired at the sale – and was bought by Mr Ropner, Northleach, Glos.
Five herds in total penned cattle alongside the Aberdeen Angus Cattle Societys autumn sale entries. The Rowantree herd of Dumfriesshire breeders John Harvie and Son sold their 1994-bred cow Fairoaks Evas Honey at 1600gns with a heifer calf at foot.
Alastair Grant came down from Forres in Morayshire to judge the breed society classes and awarded the championship to Ayrshire herd owners A M and L R Stewarts bull Mister Border 2nd of Ladeside. He made 2000gns to R Henderson, Stocksfield, Northumberland.
