Phil Allen, Copywriter, Content StrategistCertificate of Excellence 2019
Phil Allen, Agent Persuasion Master Copywriter https://agentpersuasion.co.uk firstname.lastname@example.com / 07702 102030 I'm a freelance copywriter with 20-years experience delivering copy that sells — for websites, advertising, and marketing. If you need more people to understand why you're different, I can help. Whatever business you're in, I can adapt my style to suit. I've helped sole traders, LLP's and companies sell everything from financial planning, tech, music, software, lean manufacturing to SAAS more effectively — I've even helped a chain of Barbershops be hip. How I work: Ideally, give me 10-minutes on the phone to understand the scope of what you need. I'll then send you a competitive fixed-price quote pronto, so you know exactly where you stand. I provide unlimited revisions on any copy I write. This means you won't start paying for an extra hour here and there if you want me to make changes. All my quotes include time spent on investigation and analysis so I can write the most persuasive copy possible — hence the name 'Agent Persuasion'. And if I'm writing SEO copy, I'll make sure the meta title and description is powerful enough to stand out against the nineteen other competitors that appear on the same page in Google.

Rd Design
"It is unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money...that is all. When you pay too little you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the things it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot...it cannot be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder it is well to add something for the risk you run. And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better. There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell for a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only, are this man's lawful prey" JOHN RUSKIN (1819-1900) Based in Colchester, Essex, Rd Design is the creative design studio of Ryan Delaney Design Ltd.

When I saw this fabric I thought it would make some fun Skilts that would appeal to comic fans. Now that they are made up I think the pattern may be a bit too big to work well. Nevertheless I think they may still appeal to some. Do you know a Superman or Spiderman super fan who would rock these?

...By now, we've all seen the iPad and know just about everything about it that we possibly can. But did you know that the secretive company may actually be hard at work on a second device already? ...And this one may be much more like a Mac than an iPhone.
Before the iPad was revealed last week, rumors circulated for a long time that Apple might be working on two different sizes for the screen of the device. Some had the device as small as 7″ , others were saying it would go up to 10.6″ . (The actual size of the iPad is 9.7″ .) But the information we're hearing is that Apple is thinking much larger for another version of the product, maybe all the way up to the 15.4″ size that it currently uses for one version of the MacBook Pro. If you think that would be way too big for an iPad, we're also hearing that this other tablet would be quite a bit different from the one revealed last week. Namely, it could run a version of OS X much closer to the traditional version that runs on Macs.

The KDE libraries require D-Bus version 0.62 at least. See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fdbus for the latest release.
To compile:

To run the D-Bus daemon, type the command:

QtDBus depends on D-Bus.
D-Bus is found using pkg-config, so if you did not install it to a standard path in the previous step, set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable:
% PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$DBUSDIR/lib/pkgconfig; export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
|you may want to install QtDBUS to $DBUSDIR too.
QtDBus now lives in kdesupport and uses cmake. It also requires you to have Qt 4.1.3 in order to compile (qt-copy has it). To compile it:
% svn co $SVNROOT/trunk/kdesupport
% cd $your_preferred_objdir
% cmake $OLDPWD/kdesupport
% make
Remember to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to where you installed D-Bus to ($DBUSDIR/lib/pkgconfig), where you installed QtDBUS and where Qt is installed ($QTDIR/lib). This is necessary because QtDBUS depends on Qt and is found using pkg-config.

The most direct replacement of DCOPClient are [1] and [2]. The convenience method QDBus::sessionBus() usually replaces all occurrences of KApplication::dcopClient().
The methods in DCOPClient that are related to listing existing applications on the bus are in QDBusBusService (which you can access with QDBus::sessionBus().busService()).
DCOPClient has a "call" method that takes two QByteArray's containing the data to be transmitted and the data that was received. The most direct replacement for this is using QDBusMessage and QDBusConnection::send or sendWithReply. You most likely don't want to use that.
Instead, drop the QByteArray and QDataStream variables and use the dynamic call mode (see next section).
The direct replacement for DCOPRef is QDBusInterfacePtr, which is just a wrapper around QDBusInterface. The replacement for [3].
However, there are some important differences to be noticed:
Sample code in DCOP: ~pp~
DCOPRef kded("kded", "favicons") DCOPReply reply = kded.call("iconForURL(KUrl)", url); QString icon; if (reply.isValid()) reply.get(icon); return icon;
Sample code in DBUS: ~pp~
QDBusInterfacePtr kded("org.kde.kded", "/modules/favicons", "org.kde.FaviconsM
QDBusReply<QString> reply = kded->call("iconForURL", url.url()); return reply;
Things to note in the code:
obtain by calling "interfaces" on the existing DCOP object (in this case, "dcop kd ed favicons interfaces").
o basic types
DBUS also supports multiple return values. You will normally not find this kind of
construct in DCOP, since it didn't support that functionality. However, this may
show up in the form of a struct being returned. In this case, you may want to use the functionality of multiple return arguments. You'll need to use QDBusMessage in
this case:
Sample; ~pp~
QDBusInterfacePtr interface("org.kde.myapp", "/MyObject", "org.kde.MyInterface
QDBusMessage reply = interface->call("myFunction", argument1, argument2); if (reply.type() == QDBusMessage::ReplyMessage) { returnvalue1 = reply.at(0).toString(); returnvalue2 = reply.at(1).toInt(); /* etc. */ }
There is no direct replacement of DCOPObject. It's replaced by normal QObject, wit h or without an adaptor, with explicit registering. So, in order to port, you need
to follow these steps:
where <interfacename> is the name of the interface you're declaring (generally, it 'll be "org.kde" followed by the class name itself)
ake it: ~pp~
public Q_SLOTS: Q_SCRIPTABLE void methodName();
Note that the Q_CLASSINFO macro is case-sensitive. Do not misspell "D-Bus Interfac e" (that's capital I and D-Bus has a dash).
In order to register the object, you'll need to do: ~pp~
QDBus::sessionBus().registerObject("<object-path>", this, QDBusConnection::Exp
ortSlots); ~/pp~
Normally, "<object-path>" will be the argument the class was passing to the DCOPOb ject constructor. Don't forget the leading slash. Another useful option to the thi rd argument is QDBusConnection::ExportProperties, which will export the scriptable
DCOP had a broken support for signals. They were public methods, while normal sign als in QObject are protected methods. The correct way to port is to refactor the c ode to support signals correctly.
On the current version of QtDBus, you cannot use QDBusConnection::ExportSignals. T his is a known limitation and will be fixed in the future. In order to use signals, you'll need to write an adaptor.
Adaptors are a special QObject that you attach to your normal QObject and whose so le purpose is to relay things to and from the bus. You'll generally use it to expo rt more than one interface or when you need to translate the call arguments in any way.
You'll declare it as: ~pp~ class MyAdaptor: public QDBusAbstractAdaptor {
Q_OBJECT Q_CLASSINFO("D-Bus Interface", "org.kde.MyAdaptor")
MyAdaptor(QObject *parent);
void signal1(); void signal2(const QString &argument);
}; ~/pp~
And the .cpp file will have: ~pp~ MyAdaptor::MyAdaptor(QObject *parent)
: QDBusAbstractAdaptor(parent)
setAutoRelaySignals(true); /* alternative syntax: connect(parent, SIGNAL(signal1()), SIGNAL(signal1())); connect(parent, SIGNAL(signal2(QString)), SIGNAL(QString())); */
} ~/pp~
In the class using the adaptor, do this: ~pp~
new MyAdaptor(this); QDBus::sessionBus().registerObject("/<object-path>", this, QDBusConnection::Ex
portAdaptors); ~/pp~
Things to notice:
signals of the same name and arguments in the adaptor.
n needed. Therefore, do not delete it and, especially, do NOT reparent it.
re-register the object.
DCOP had the capability of doing transactions: that is, delay the reply from a cal led method until later on. QtDBus has the same functionality, under a different na me.
Unlike DCOP, with QtDBus, you need a special parameter to your slot in order to re ceive the information about the call and set up the delayed reply. This parameter is of type "QDBusMessage" and must appear after the last input parameter. You decl are that you want a delayed reply by creating a reply. You will be responsible for
sending it later.
Sample DCOP code: ~pp~ class MyClass: public QObject, public DCOPObject {
DCOPTransaction *xact; DCOPClient *client;
QString myMethod(const QString &arg1) { client = callingDcopClient(); xact = client->beginTransaction(); QTimer::singleShot(0, this, SLOT(processLater()); return QString(); // reply will be ignored }
public Q_SLOTS:
void processLater() { QByteArray replyData; QDataStream stream(&replyData, QIODevice::WriteOnly); stream << QString(QLatin1String("foo")); client->endTransaction(xact, "QString", replyData); }
}; ~/pp~
The equivalent code with QtDBus would be: ~pp~ class MyClass: public QObject {
QDBusMessage reply;
public Q_SLOTS:
Q_SCRIPTABLE QString myMethod(const QString &arg1, const QDBusMessage &msg) { reply = QDBusMessage::methodReply(msg); QTimer::singleShot(0, this, SLOT(processLater()); return QString(); // reply will be ignored }
void processLater() { reply << QString(QLatin1String("foo")); reply.connection().send(reply); }
}; ~/pp~
favicons, etc.)

Yale-Florida A&M Box Score | Yale-CCSU Box Score
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Holly Gutterud's three-run double snapped a 3-3 tie in the top of the eighth inning and lifted Yale to a 6-3 victory over Central Connecticut in the second game of the day at the Rebel Games. The Bulldogs had tied the game in the seventh on Aracelis Torres's clutch two-out double that scored Lauren Huddleston. In the first game, Torres had four hits, including a three-run home run, and six RBI as Yale cruised to an 11-2 victory over Florida A&M. Tracy Timm added two hits for the Bulldogs.
Yale finishes its Spring Break trip to Central Florida with a 10-2 overall record. The Bulldogs batted .338 in the 12 games and outscored their opponents 74-29.
Against Florida A&M, Yale jumped on the board in the first. Ashley Sloan walked, stole second, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on Torres's hard single off the pitcher.
Florida A&M tied it in the second on Unika Mcintosh's RBI double, but the Bulldogs scored three runs in the second. Jessica Meyer drew a walk to start the rally. Timm followed with sacrifice bunt and Courtney Blachford singled. Sloan plated the first run with a single to left. After Christina Guerland walked to load the bases, Torres drilled a two-run single up the middle.
Timm's long double to left scored Meredith Parks in the third to make it 5-1.
Florida A&M (6-22) scored once in the top of the fifth, but the Bulldogs erupted for six runs in their half of the inning. The big blow was Torres's three-run homer over the centerfield fence that ended the game. It was her second of the season.
Deanna DiBernardi pitched all five innings for the Bulldogs and allowed only four hits and one earned run. She struck out two.
Against Central Connecticut, Yale trailed 3-1 entering the sixth inning. Megan Enyeart led off the sixth with a single to right and advanced to second on Katie Edwards's sacrifice bunt. Parks followed with an RBI single to right.
The Bulldogs then tied it in the seventh. Huddleston started the rally with a bunt single and moved to second on Sloan's sacrifice bunt. With two out, Torres hit a long fly ball to the right-centerfield gap that easily scored Huddleston.
In the seventh, Enyeart was placed on second base. Edwards was intentionally walked and Parks drew a walk to load the bases. Gutterud then came to the plate and promptly hit a drive to the wall in right that scored all three runners.
Rebecca Wojciak pitched eight innings to earn her fourth win of the season. She scattered eight hits and struck out three. Wojciak also benefited from four double plays turned by Yale's defense.
Alison Rossi was 2-for-3 with an RBI for the Central Connecticut (3-10).
The Bulldogs fly back to New Haven on Tuesday and are scheduled to host a doubleheader against Army on Thursday at 2:30 p.m. at Dewitt Family Field.

Posters on the internet board 4chan aren't exactly known for being the arbiters of taste, but the latest viral prank to come from the community may have hit a new low.
After photos surfaced of Justin Bieber apparently smoking pot, members of 4chan launched a campaign #CutforBieber, encouraging fans to harm themselves in an attempt to get the pop singer to dump his weed habit.
"Lets start a cut yourself for bieber campaign," an anonymous user wrote on 4chan's controversial /b/ board (link NSFW). "Tweet a bunch of pics of people cutting themselves and claim we did it because bieber was smoking weed. See if we can get some little girls to cut themselves."
(Slate takes a good look at what exactly about that /b/ board is so enthralling.)
When someone was able to trace the trend back to 4chan, the original post was deleted.
"OP DELETE THIS THREAD, WE HAVE BEEN SPOTTED," someone responded, but the original post has was captured in a screenshot.
The campaign got enough attention, although much of it negative, to get #cutforBieber into the trending topics on Twitter in the U.S.
#cutforbieber? Cutting is NOT something to joke about. There are people who are actually suffering from self-harm, this is so disrespectful.— Official CANCER(@OfficialCANCER) January 7, 2013
#selfharm is no joke. All children have the right to a safe and protective environment. #cutforbieber— UNICEF (@UNICEF) January 8, 2013
This is probably the most naive immature thing I have ever witnessed. Don't #cutforbieber. Cutting is a serious issue not a gimmick.— marissa jean(@Marissa_Jean) January 8, 2013
Some people actually suffer from self-harm and it's SO freakin disrespectful to #cutforbieber.— Venus Angelic (@VenusAngelic) January 8, 2013
Some people had a little more fun with the trend, posting images of themselves cutting paper, their nails, and of course, weed.
i cut for @justinbieber #cutforbieber twitter.com/gemmadeighan/s…— ♡GEM♡ (@gemmadeighan) January 8, 2013
#cutforbieber we got you Justin @justinbieber twitter.com/shelbeysparrow…— Shelbey Sparrow (@shelbeysparrow) January 8, 2013
I #cutforbieber too okay? #Believe twitter.com/thejianhaotan/…— Jaime Tan JianHao (@thejianhaotan) January 8, 2013
So far, Bieber has ignored the whole thing.
A similar prank by another anonymous Internet poster started a #baldforBieber frenzy, attempting to convince Bieber's fans the star had been diagnosed with cancer and that they should shave their heads in solidarity.

(The petition) basically says that people pledge in their personal lives to support efforts to protect marriage, family, life, religious freedom and parental rights. It's our gathering tool for people throughout the world who we know are willing to stand for the family. —Sharon Slater, president of Family Watch International
SANDY — The greatest crisis humanity will face in the 21st century, according to Don Feder, will not be global warming, disease, overpopulation, or any of the dystopian scenarios portrayed in science fiction.
Instead, Feder believes, the crisis will be the so-called "Demographic Winter" stemming from a worldwide decline in fertility rates.
"Sometime in this century we're going to start running out of people," said the director of communications for the World Congress of Families.
But the cause of the population crisis, he said, can be traced back to the sexual revolution, which has shaped the world more profoundly than anything since the industrial revolution.
"The sexual revolution has led to a crater-scarred landscape strewn with casualties," he said.
Feder said it may seem counter-intuitive that people having more sex is causing a crisis in child birth rates, but he points to the paradigm shift that has occurred in the public's attitudes toward procreation and the family. Meanwhile, he said, in the past 50 years the fertility rate has dropped by more than 50 percent.
If having children was solely connected to a person's sexual activity, he said, then college campuses would be centers of population growth.
"This sea change in attitudes and behavior includes at first, separating procreation from marriage, then separating sex from procreation and finally separating love or any sense of commitment from sex," he said.
Feder was one of several speakers at the Stand for the Family Conference, held Friday at the South Towne Exposition Center. The event focused on the need for individuals to support pro-family efforts but also trumpeted conservative viewpoints on social and constitutional issues.
Remarks during the conference compared the lives lost each year to abortions to the bloodshed of World War II, dismayed the U.S. Postal Service's decision to honor slain San Francisco politician Harvey Milk with a commemorative stamp, encouraged parents to instruct their children to date and marry virginal and chaste peers due to the lower rates of divorce in those unions, described public education as the primary source of child indoctrination and suggested that euthanasia and the rationing of medical services are the ultimate goals of Obamacare.
Shane Krauser, director of the American Academy for Constitutional Education, spoke on threats to religious freedom in today's legal climate. He gave the example of several business owners around the country who are facing legal action for violating anti-discrimination ordinances by refusing to extend their services to same-sex couples.
"This is becoming the rule, not the exception," he said. "We have to fight back against these ideas."
He said this type of thinking, in which religious individuals are not granted exemptions from laws based on their beliefs, is contrary to the free exercise clause of the First Amendment and defies the original intent of the Founding Fathers.
As long as a behavior isn't hurting another person, it would be inappropriate to force them to change that behavior, Krauser said. But he stopped short of specifying whether discrimination, whether institutional or individual, qualifies as hurting another person.
He also presented his argument as an "us" versus "them" without fully describing who or what are the opposition to his views.
"What the other side wants to do all too often is not engage in the marketplace," he said. "They want to yell, they want to scream and ultimately use the force of government to change things."
The conference was presented by Family Watch International, a nonprofit advocacy organization. Participants at the conferences were encouraged to sign a petition stating their support for pro-family causes and were also invited to participate in a yearlong focus on family-related themes in their own homes. Such themes include protecting and promoting motherhood and fatherhood and viewing the family as the solution to world problems.
"(The petition) basically says that people pledge in their personal lives to support efforts to protect marriage, family, life, religious freedom and parental rights," said Sharon Slater, president of Family Watch International. "It's our gathering tool for people throughout the world who we know are willing to stand for the family."
Alene Scheffield, of Kaysville, visited the conference and said she enjoyed hearing from the high-level, well-educated individuals who presented. She said she was particularly concerned with parental rights and hadn't heard anything at the conference she disagreed with.
"I think that governments are dictating to schools what will be taught, what values will be taught." she said, "And I feel like that may or may not infringe upon the right of a parent to teach their own set of values."
Russ Ballard, of Cedar Hills, said the pressures building against the family have become almost like a tidal wave.
"The philosophy that's being promoted out there is that the family can be anything you want it to be and the traditional man and woman with children concept is outmoded, outdated and in a lot of cases is detrimental to our happiness and our freedom to do the things we want to do," Ballard said. "I totally disagree. I think the family is absolutely essential."
He also said it was interesting to hear Feder's presentation on population decline and how some countries are in danger of going extinct due to low marriage and birth rates and increased instances of abortion.
"I hadn't really thought of that before," he said.
In order to shift the trends in fertility rate decline, Feder said society needs to cease subsidizing birth control, promote religion, celebrate parenthood and put an end to abortion, for both moral and practical purposes. He said modern civilization depends on robust population growth, and while many living species have gone extinct, humans may become the first to finance their own extinction.
"Obviously the children who aren't born today won't themselves have children and grandchildren," he said. "This will create a smaller pool of potential parents in each generation, leading to a downward spiral and at some point population decline will become population free fall."
He also said that while some believe that humans are heading into a crisis of overpopulation, this is a result of people living longer rather than an excess of new children.
He compared the scenario to a car driving downhill, in that the vehicle will continue to accelerate due to gravity if the driver takes his foot off the gas. But once that car reaches the bottom of the slope, it slows to a halt.
"The momentum of population growth over the last 200 years has been carrying us forward," he said. "That's going to stop."

Quote from "Ole, the Tower Keeper" (1859)
Registered motifs in this quote
Thus spoke my friend Ole, in his tower – a chatty, jolly fellow who seemed to say whatever came into his head yet had so many serious thoughts concealed deep in his heart. He came from a good family; there were some who said that he was a conference councilor's son, or might have been. He had a good education, had been the assistant to a schoolmaster, the deputy of a parish clerk, but what help could that have been! When he lived with the parish clerk it was agreed that he should have free use of everything in the house. He was then young and a bit of a dandy as we call it, and he wanted shoe polish to brush and shine his boots with; but the parish clerk would only allow him grease, and so they had a quarrel. One spoke of stinginess, the other of vanity; the shoe polish became the black cause of their strife, and so they separated.

Often, the missives strike us as poetic — in the chaos of the mailbag, we can find a sense of peace. As such, we have taken it upon ourselves to let some messages grow into the poetry they are meant to be. And we will do so by occasionally presenting them as Haikus. In this edition, a missive sent to us apropos of nothing.

Gwyneth's Hunger Games
(Lainey: as promised, there will be a lot of G on the site today. Previously we heard from Dean. Here's Maria's take on Gwyneth's new cookbook.)
It's a wonderful time for gossip when Gwyneth is promoting something because raging on her is practically a national pastime.
This time, it's for her new cookbook, "It's All Good." The intro reads:
"Every single nutritionist, doctor and health-conscious person I have ever come across . . . seems to concur that (gluten) is tough on the system and many of us are at best intolerant of it and at worst allergic to it. Sometimes when my family is not eating pasta, bread or processed grains like white rice, we're left with that specific hunger that comes with avoiding carbs."
Some headlines:
Globe & Mail: How Gwyneth Paltrow's restrictive diet leaves her children hungry
US Weekly: Gwyneth Paltrow Makes Kids Avoid Carbs: Apple, Moses Are Often Hungry
Daily Mail: 'We're left with that specific hunger': Gwyneth Paltrow reveals she avoids giving her children carbohydrates
It's no surprise that Gwyneth eats clean – look at her. And I appreciate the fact that she's not "eating French fries" every day, like so many of them pretend to. And it's funny that moms are railing on her the hardest, because in most families, the kids eat what the parents eat. Isn't it a sign that she's "just like us"?
No, because her kids are starving! Come on, do you think Apple and Moses are suffering? Hungry and chronic hunger are two different things. People are interpreting it as she doesn't feed her kids enough or "properly" because it is fun to criticise her (and she makes it so easy).
The comment strikes a nerve because grocery shopping and eating is a huge socioeconomic marker. Sad fact is, it's cheaper to eat crap than healthy, not to mention the time and preparation that goes into cooking. Organic food is not cheap, and maybe making that trip to the hip bakery for vegan cupcakes isn't a top priority in the budget. But because bad food has become synonymous with laziness, it's a very quick and easy way to pass judgment. When Gwyneth graciously shows us her no gluten, no dairy, no sugar recipes, the implication is that she is more involved and evolved parent. It's grating, it's annoying – but is the message untrue? Or is it just the delivery we hate so much?
Her kids' hunger is a choice. Not a bad choice, but still... only Gwyneth could make hunger seem …snobby.
(For many people around the world, hunger is not a choice but a daily struggle: Play this super addictive word game and help the World Food Programme at the same time, check out https://freerice.com.)

10 Reasons to Look Forward to Fall
With Labor Day just around the corner, many are mourning the end of summertime. Don't fret — just remember these things that make fall great, from baseball to apple pie.
Fall Sports
Costumes! Candy! Ghosts and ghouls galore! There's nothing not to love about Halloween. And yes, we're getting dressed up, even if we're the only ones at the office in a costume. It's Halloween and we're going to enjoy it!
Fall Flavors
Fall clothes are so better than summer clothes. More options, more coverage and more fun. And there's nothing like a good, cozy sweater to keep you from missing your bikini.
Fall TV
New, promising series set to premiere include '2 Broke Girls' and 'Free Agents,' and new seasons for old favorites like 'The Office' and 'Desperate Housewives' (in its final season).
Labor Day and Columbus Day
Um, what's not to like about three-day weekends in consecutive months? Take a trip to see that foliage or apple orchard, or use the time off to catch up on all that new TV. Whatever you do, there's not much that can go wrong on a day off.

'Attack the Block' director on killing off kids, 'E.T.' and more
While Jon Favreau's big-budget, star-studded "Cowboys & Aliens" earned less-than-rave reviews and what could be described as a shrug at the box office, a much smaller alien movie also released last weekend is quickly becoming a critical darling.
"Attack the Block," the story of a group of inner-city London kids who defend themselves against an outer-space menace, has an 89% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with 86 positive reviews out of 97. The film opened Friday in eight theaters, earning $130,000 total and a per-theater average of $16,306 -- a decent start for the modestly budgeted movie starring a slate of first-time and little-known actors.
Over on our sister blog Hero Complex, the film's young star John Boyega, who plays Moses, described his character's journey from hoodlum to hero as he leads a group of teens in their battle against the giant, furry space beasts. It was Boyega's first big-screen role.
"Attack the Block" also marked the directorial debut of Joe Cornish, who co-wrote Steven Spielberg's upcoming comic-book adaptation, "The Adventures of Tintin." 24 Frames sat down with Cornish to talk about "Attack the Block."
Q: It's hard to root for your protagonists at the beginning of the film. They're a bunch of punk kids who rob a lady at knifepoint.
A: There's no doubt that what they're doing at the beginning is a bad thing, and the film is making no apologies. And we knew we were doing something a little bit edgy and a little bit risky to start a movie like that. It's unusual. Most contemporary movies bend over backwards to make their protagonist as sympathetic as humanly possible -- you know, the underdog, the guy who's never quite made it, with the beautiful wife and the gorgeous children, and then they're kidnapped or murdered. But we flipped it around. We wanted to challenge the audience. When people asked me that question when we were developing the script, I would say, "Well, look. You're allowed to hate them." When the title of the movie comes up, "Attack the Block," and that second wave of meteors is coming down, you're allowed to go, "Good. Eat those [expletives]." You know what I mean? But the thing that drove me to write it was to take that energy and then try and turn it round. We're not being cheesy. It's not a huge, soppy, redemptive arc. It's (hopefully) subtle and truthful. ... At the end of the movie, Moses knows the consequences of his actions. He understands that he is in charge of his life. He understands that his choices will directly affect him and his hopes and his potential. So yeah, we've absolutely made it with heart and sincerity, and as a positive story.
Q: What do you think happens to Moses after the movie?
A: I think the rule of the law is pretty strict. I think he would be prosecuted for what he did at the beginning. When the full story came out, I think his positive actions would at least balance his negative actions. But I don't know. I like the ambiguity. I like the question mark. ... You have to bring your own intuition and bring your own morality. That's going to freak out some viewers who are used to everything being laid out for them. This is a movie for smart people, for open-minded people. I like the fact that we don't answer those questions.

After an extended spring training that included striking out three-time all-star New York Yankee outfielder Curtis Granderson, former Dixon High School star Rookie Davis is ready to make his first start tonight for the Staten Island Yankees.
After an extended spring training that included striking out three-time all-star New York Yankee outfielder Curtis Granderson, former Dixon High School star Rookie Davis is ready to make his first start tonight for the Staten Island Yankees.
And Davis faces a challenge, taking the mound against the Hudson Valley Renegades, the defending champions in the Class A short-season New York-Penn League that began its 74th season this week.
�I�m looking forward to it. I feel like it�ll be a good opening test for me,� Davis said during a telephone interview Wednesday. �I don�t shy away from big moments or bright lights�. So I�m going to out there and I�m going to be aggressive and I�m going to go right at them.�
Davis, who turned 20 less than two months ago, had been in Tampa pretty much since the middle of February for extended spring training before being assigned to the New York-Penn League, whose season runs into early September.
During his time in Tampa, The Daily News two-time player of the year said he worked hard preparing for his second professional season in the minor leagues. The experience, he said, has made him a better pitcher.
�I had a very good extended spring training,� he said. �Our main focus was the curve ball. � That came a long way toward the end�, and my velocity went up a little bit. My command of my fastball was good, change-up was good.
�It was just another way of learning and getting me ready to the point that I�m at now. So I�m thankful for them working with me down there and getting me ready, and now I can just hit the ground running up here.�
Davis, who will wear No. 52 and is listed on the Staten Island roster at 6-foot-3 and 235 pounds, said his fastball was �all over the place� last year with the Yankees� Gulf Coast League rookie affiliate in Tampa.
�I would be anywhere from 89 to 91, 92,� he said. �This year I�m able to sit comfortable 92, 94. I�ve hit 95 a couple times. But we�ve been working on some mechanical stuff and we�re hoping that soon I�ll be able to sit (93) to (95) or something like that.�
Davis� time in extended spring included facing off against Granderson, who was in Tampa for rehab. Granderson, who led the Yankees with 43 home runs last year and whose 84 dingers the past two years is the most in the major leagues, went 1-for-3 against Davis.
Granderson had a single in his first at-bat before popping out in his third. In between, Davis struck him out with a 93 mph fastball.
�That was a pretty good experience. It was fun. He�s a great guy,� Davis said. �I made a mistake the first at-bat. I gave him one too many fastballs. To an all-star you can�t really do that. But it was fun being out there competing against him. He�s one of the best center fielders in the game. It was a great experience.�
And so, Davis hopes, will be playing for Staten Island, although that wasn�t Davis� goal going into spring training. He�d hoped to be elevated to the Yankees� Class A affiliate in Charleston, which is not only closer to home but a step up from Staten Island.
But given his age and that he pitched only 17 innings in the GCL last year because of an illness, it�s probably no surprise that Davis was assigned Staten Island. That, however, doesn�t mean that Davis is disappointed � or that he�s still not holding out hope that he could wind up in Charleston before the 2013 season ends.
�My ultimate goal this year was at some point to be in Charleston, whether that be right now or at the end of the season. But they have a plan for me and while sometimes I may want to push the envelope a little bit harder than they�re willing to let me do, that�s up to them completely,� Davis said.
The Yankees are known for a relative conservative approach with their minor-league prospects, especially players right out of high school.
�I may be here all year. I�m not sure what may happen. It all just depends on performance and (getting) the opportunity,� he said. �While it would be nice to be in Charleston, it�d be closer to home and be in low-A full season, I understand that I just turned 20 years ago so it�s going to take a little time to progress me rather than a college guy.
�So I�ve just got to take what I�m given, make the best of it and try and go out there and get some wins for us.�
Still, he said, it is hard being patient sometimes.
�It�s tough. Being a younger guy, you want to keep progressing, you want to face that tougher competition so you can elevate your game to that level,� he said. �But there�s some good baseball up here and my time will come and I know that.
�I�m sure they know that as well. They�ve had really good success with high school guys, bringing them up. So I just have to trust in the plan that they give me and try to ride that out the best that I can.�
Davis said he will be under a pitch count tonight, although he�s not sure what it will be and, he added, �I am about 100 percent sure I won�t be told what it is, either.�
�I mean, I want to stay out there for nine, but it�s early in the season and first start,� he said, adding a more realistic goal is five strong innings. �And set us up for a win. It�d be a big win, and I know the guys are ready to get out there.�
As is Davis, who saw limited action in Tampa last year because of a virus that saw him lose 25 pounds and miss several starts.
�Last year it was a lot of ups and downs. It was a learning experience to say the least, just learning how to be a professional first off and then taking care of my body, and I�ve done a better job of that, a lot better job,� he said.
�I�m definitely ready to get out there. Anyone that knows me knows that I want the ball whenever I can get it. I want it every day. But I�m ready to get out there Thursday. I don�t really feel anxious or feel like I have anything to prove.�
Staten Island will be an adjustment, however. On the field, the players are better, and in the stands there are thousands of fans cheering (or booing) the team.
�There�s a lot more college guys up here. So they have a different approach at the plate. They just have a better overall gameplan. They�ve obviously played three or four years of college baseball against better competition rather than guys coming right out of right high school,� he said.
�So it�s a little different. The game�s a little bit faster, but you�ve just got to try and take it a pitch at a time and adjust to the necessary things that you feel like you need to adjust to and the things you feel like you need to keep the same just keep coasting with it.
�That�s something I�m working on right now. It�s just a growing phase right now, just getting used to it and getting used to be in front of 7,000, 8,000 people a night. � But it�s been going well. I feel like I�m mentally and physically ready for tomorrow night. I�ve just got to go out there and continue what I�ve been doing all year.�

Yes he is... All bell had to do was throw a little dump pass or the long ball to Illies or Vasquez and watch them run... Thielges has better vision that Bell...he is also a better decision maker than Bell is....I mean literally u can put me at QB with Illies and Vasquez at the WR and I could be all state....only reason Bell made it was because he had Vasquez and Illies...W/L woulda won state if Tyler was their QB...I mean Once Napolean took away Illies and Vasquez what did Bell do?

Infor has teamed up with VMWare to help customers of its Infor LN ERP (enterprise resource planning) software run on VMWare's latest virtualisation technology, opening a door to cloud deployments and potentially lower infrastructure costs.
The companies have created a reference architecture that customers and partners can use to create a virtual appliance with VMWare products such as vSphere, Cloud Director and vFabric, according to the announcement, which was made yesterday.
Customers will be able to deploy the appliances to either on-premises or cloud infrastructures, Infor said.
A whitepaper on the reference architecture will be made available within the next few weeks, said Ali Shadman, senior vice president of business cloud and Upgrade/S at Infor.
"This was a way to create the foundation for customers and partners to build virtual appliances," he said. "As we move forward we're going to create a hard offering around LN and other apps that are a good fit."
Infor is hoping to work with customers on the virtual appliances and will likely have packaged products out within six months, Shadman said.
It's planning to take whatever time it needs, however. "ERP systems run companies," he said. "We need to be very confident and sure of our steps."
The VMWare announcement follows a similar one Infor made with Red Hat in September.
Infor customers have expressed "high interest" in virtualisation and virtual appliances, and many are already VMWare users, according to Shadman.

A Real Girl's Guide To Crop Tops
Deras' taut abs are no joke either, but she knows exactly how to flaunt a bare midriff in a tasteful, stylish, and wearable way even when you're not on a red carpet or runway. Read on for her crop top commandments and five fail-proof ways of wearing the trend.
If you're heading to dinner and drinks with your guy, a bandeau top is handy for amping up the flirtation factor. "A simple bandeau and body-hugging pencil skirt is the perfect date outfit," Deras says. "Black bandeaus are so versatile and can pretty much be worn with anything."
She's Wearing: Braza Comfy Tube Seamless Tube Top ($9); J.Crew No.2 Pencil Skirt In Dot Brocade ($148).
Similar Essentials: American Apparel Ottoman Rib Tube Top ($22) in Black; ASOS Pencil Skirt with Blocking Panels ($15) in Blue/Black; Topshop Ratchet Block Strappy Heels ($100).
Don't own a crop top? No problem! Just knot the front of a cotton tee and pair it with a high-waisted skirt for a night out with friends. "Usually whenever I can't find anything to wear, I knot one of my favourite t-shirts and slip into a pencil skirt," Deras says.
She's Wearing: Super 49er Aviator Sunglasses ($319, available in Dark Green); American Apparel t-shirt; Kelly Wearstler skirt; Roman Luxe Python Enamel Kite Cocktail Ring ($60); Givenchy shoes.
Similar Essentials: Topshop Basic Short Sleeve Crop Top ($10); A Wear Midi Check Print Tube Skirt ($20); New Look Pompeii Gladiator Heeled Sandals ($48).
If you work at a place with a relaxed dress code, or simply want to try a dressier crop top outfit, opt for more coverage with a long-sleeved top and high-waisted trousers. "The combination of a tiny tee and super high-waisted trousers works as an office look, if you ask me!" Deras says.
She's Wearing: Topshop Polo Neck Long Sleeve Crop ($12); Dolce & Gabbana pants; Balenciaga clutch; vintage jewellery.
Similar Essentials: ASOS 90's Crop Top with Long Sleeve ($17); Sass & Bide The Wind Blows Wide Leg Pant ($350).
For luxe, off-duty style--ideal for Sunday brunch--try a soft, slightly abbreviated pullover with low-slung pants. "This sweater is a little less cropped than the rest of my tops, so I wore it with slinky low-cut trousers to show a bit more skin," Deras says.
She's Wearing: ASOS Cropped Rib Detail Sweater ($59) in Cream; Rebecca Taylor Pleated Trousers ($350); vintage jewellery.
Similar Essentials: Topshop Knitted Fluffy Crop Jumper ($68) in Cream; T by Alexander Wang Shiny Crepe Peg Trousers ($110).
"I love the idea of a short boxy tee paired with boyish cargo pants and heels," Deras explains. Make this outfit your go-to weekend look on a hot summer's day, when it's totally appropriate to bare your bellybutton.
She's Wearing: Spitfire sunglasses; Topshop t-shirt; vintage cargo pants; Kimberly McDonald jewellery; Gucci Ursula Ankle-Strap High Heel Sandals ($950).
Similar Essentials: Vera Moda Crop Tee ($14); Zara Cargo Trousers With Pockets ($60); Jeffrey Campbell Blakely Heel in Grey Suede ($128).
