NSC Network Solutions has appointed Wayne Wilson as its business development manager.
In the newly created role, Wilson will work closely with head of network solutions, Matt Sully, to help drive growth in the data network and infrastructure market.
Wilson's primary focus is to bring new business to NSC and work with the enterprise team to help increase its market scope within its customer base.
"The role has been created because NSC has brought on some new partners in the last few months," Sully said. "We're working closely with Sun, Emerson and Polycom.
"All of our projects to date, require infrastructure in the datacentre around racks, power, cooling and UPS. We're taking on more of the project besides the Avaya and contact centre piece."
Sully said Wilson had a national mandate and had already generated some business in Perth.
NSC has more than 130 staff.
"I have a desire to bring on another business development manager at the end of this financial year,"Sully said. "We're not shrinking by any means, and our headcount is growing all the time."
Prior to joining NSC Wilson worked in a range of senior roles with organisations such as Macquarie Telecom, Frontline Systems, Optus and JNA Network Services.

This morning I was privileged to be the object of attention of my fellow Center for Women and Work Research Associates at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell. We meet on a monthly basis to discuss our research projects and learn from the discussion of an interdisciplinary group of scholars. This is my second tour of duty with this group. [Meg Bond, CWW Founder to Right]
During the first tour (two years), I was working on my Journal Project. Thanks to this internal research support, I was able to conduct some very risky and experimental research around the integration of arts-based research and qualitative computing...and that work is now being exhibited, published, discussed, etc. Centers like this are critical on universities to provide encouragement for faculty to germinate new ideas, take those first steps, and work through a project--the in-kind support they offer is every bit as important as a financial award.
As I said, this is my second tour of duty, and in this period I am working on the sexting project, a three-state, interdisciplinary study of teens and sexting. I am the official qualitative researcher on the project. PI Andrew Harris from our Criminal Justice Department joined me. We described the initiative, showed the NVivo Project, and shared our notion of the continuum of what sexting means in the teen mind.
As I explained to them in showing NVivo...leveraging the transparancy and portability of this tool--and showing you what the coding looks like--makes me vulnerable. Most people don't publicly share their research in this way, but its a commitment we have that goes along with using the software. [It is scarey...a project is like the inside of your brain, it's like letting people into your file cabinet, your closets.]
Then the group asked us questions--really good questions (as they always do). The group ranged from psychology and sociology to economics; there were qualitative and quantitative researchers. They were awestruck by the size and amount of materials--number of sites, focus groups, students involved (9 schools; 3 states; 123 students...and that's only part 1...I know we went "data heavy"...but when you are a data hog--it's hard to set boundaries!) They were pleased with the way we were building up from the emic perspective. That struck them as important. And, they asked for some things we need to dig for in the data to better set the cultural context for understanding the responses:
1. What are the opportunities at each school to hear messages about sexting? Where do they occur? Are they in separate places or integrated in any way?
2. What are the school's written policies about technology use?
They, like the students we interviewed, had a range of views about what sexting was--"Is it this?" "Is it that?" Everyone gets confused, whenever we start talking about the project...but they asked very astutely, what do these messages/photos actually look like? That's not for this study--we are looking at views expressed in interviews (and I hate to think of the IRB issues related to procuring young people's sexting examples...), but it was an excellent thing to think about--because that is truly where the rubber meets the road!
Thanks to CWW for providing opportunities for this kind of discussion!

Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng has warned political parties of using the courts for resolving their "family matters", News24 reported. Mogoeng addressed the Cape Town Press Club on Wednesday night.
"If we push our courts to the point where it literally becomes a raw political player, we are exposing it to criticism that could have been avoided," he reportedly said.
The ANC in five provinces has reportedly approached the courts recently to resolve internal disputes.
#Mogoeng must becareful of taking every political matter to the court...you should resolve political issues in the pol party family first— Aarti Narsee (@ajnarsee) October 25, 2017
Mogoeng reportedly said: "We owe it to this democracy make sure that we are very careful about the responsibilities we impose on our courts."
He also called on South Africans to speak out against unwarranted attacks on the judiciary.
Mogoeng also warned that those in power were quick to accuse the courts of judicial overreach when judgments were not in their favour. He said the entire judiciary was accused of overreaching if just one judge passed a contentious ruling.

Chiang Mai
Beautiful city, great food (street and restaurant), amazing night markets where you buy can everything from fried crickets to jewellery and everything in between and picturesque temples.
What did you do?
Went on a three day trek and stayed in a tiny tribal village, stood under a waterfall, went bamboo rafting, elephant riding and even took part in a football match with the village kids.
Lasting memory?
Walking through one of the bustling markets one evening, the Thai national anthem started to play and everyone instantly stopped what they were doing and remained silent and still until it finished. Amazing.
The Bangkok – Chiang Mai night train.
It's for these kind of experiences that I travel. Sleeping in a 'pod', with nothing but a thin curtain to block out the light, a tiny, rattling fan's attempts to provide breeze, the sight of scuttling insects on the floor as you make your way to the bathroom which is nothing more than a hole.
What did you do?
Sleep partially, talk to other backpackers (a great pastime), people watch and soak up this totally different environment.
Lasting memory?
Waking up to the most glorious sunshine illuminating the fields that ran alongside the tracks.
Koh Phangan
We went to a few islands and had the best time on this one. It had the best beaches, best accommodation in full view of the ocean, the full moon party and was easy to find somewhere peaceful when just wanting to relax.
What did you do?
Swung in hammocks, lay on pristine white sand, swam in crystal clear water, attended a full moon party, hired a jeep to explore the island.
Lasting memory?
The sunsets left me speechless and I couldn't stop taking pictures.

As you know - tomorrow I will publish the last day of this year's TIAS.
As a reward or payment to me I would like to ask each and every one of you to donate £3,500,000 to the Jane Eborall retirement fund.
No, seriously the only 'payment' I'd like is that when you send in the last day you mention the country that you are living in. This is as much for myself as for everybody who has been taking part. Somebody has also asked if you'd send in the threads you've used too - this is so we can all stock up with the ones we've been drooling over!!
Like last year I'll number each finished pram as it comes in so that we'll all be able to see the total at the very end - whenever the last one comes strolling (pun intended) in.
First message in today is from Svet who says:-
"Hi Jane!
Other than a slight lapse around Day 7, I have been keeping up, but not sending in photos. I love seeing how everyone else is progressing but it never crossed my mind that they would care to see mine. But alas, they will enjoy it now! Thanks for the guilt trip.
The second and last one this morning is from Sonja who has this to say:-
"Hello Jane
Here is my day 10. Almost over, this TIAS snik, snik. It will be a beauty.
Thank you for all the work you had to do for this
Greetings from Holland
Sonja from Holland"
By the time I'd eaten breakfast Sue had sent her day 3 in. Here's her comment and picture:-
"Hi Jane
here's my day 3 and its 'deliberate' error... worked out overnight what to do as a join.... I think!! LOL It will teach me to read the pattern rather than just 'assuming' I know what to do!! I'm enjoying this!!
If you want to include my blog on my tatting, it's ok with me.... I've just included the photo of what I've done on there!!
Sue in UK"
Next in is Emilia who has this to say:-
If you want to include my blog on my tatting, it's ok with me.... I've just included the photo of what I've done on there!!
Sue in UK"
This picture and comment is from Fiona who says:-
"Hi Jane,Good idea for the wheels! This is looking very cute. I think making this in a pale colour variegated thread would make a great card for a new addition.
Looking forward to finishing this off.
Fiona T, One Mad Tatter, Australia"
Just back from an afternoon out and Sue is the next in my inbox with her day 4. This is what she says:-
"Did it!! Managed to hide the join! (Well, you can see it cos the ds's are bigger, but will anyone ever notice....LOL) Oh I'se proud of meself now!!! VBG Claps self on back! Now it's going on me blog!
Next in is Emilia who has this to say:-
"Hi Jane, hereby day 10. My entry for day 11 has to wait to Tuesday because I am out tomorrow and I have to work on Monday. I still enjoy the tias and I love all the entrees from the other tatters.
Thank you for all the work you put in this for us.
Kind regards,
Emilia Netherlands"
Don't worry one bit about how long it takes - yours will be welcome at ANY time, Emilia.
Back AGAIN is Sue who I think should now be classified as a 'tataddict'!!! Here are her days 5 and 6 and her comment!!!
"And I've managed Days 5 AND 6!!! My first ever split ring!!!! Now I only knew how to do it because of your destructions on your website!!!! Thank you Miss!! Confirmed I knew what I was doing with the ones on day 6! Only 7 8 & 9 to go and I'm up to date! Just hope I can get the lappy on the internet in Swaledale so's I can finish it!! LOL If you end up with a message from my gmail account don't be surprised.... it'll be via somebodys phone!
One on here and another in a couple of minutes....
Chat soon
Now I have Sandy who has a complaint and one which I'm very sad about too.
"Dear Jane... I'm rolling my penultimate pram picture into your inbox. It is an adorable motif. However, I will register a minor complaint...I am quite sad to think that tomorrow is our last instalment - I don't want it to end!! Sandy S"
Nor do I, Sandy, but there'll be another TIAS. Promise.
Denise has just popped in with her days 9 and 10 along with this comment:-
"Here are my days 9 and 10. I think my baby stroller one was right on...
Denise Royal"

Note to students and teachers of ancient Chinese philosophy
More particular, I am concerned about the various aspersions cast by some modern scholars (Chinese and Western) that raise doubts in the minds of students and teachers alike on the existence of Chinese sages like Laozi and Confucius, and/or their studies.
Take for example that of Confucius's study or knowledge of the Zhouyi.
While both in the Analects of Confucius (Lun Yu) and the Records of the Grand Historian (Shiji) it has been recorded that Confucius loved his study of the Yi, some modern scholars have the shameless audacity to claim that the great sage had never read the ancient classic. Where such unsubstantiated or specious claims arise, they can mislead students or teachers of ancient Chinese philosophy who did not do their homework well. But we know that the mean men or Xiao Ren whether they are so called masters or scholars have no shame. They just want a pecuniary gain of money, fame or even both, if they can get away with their various spurious claims.
However if we do our homework well, we could substantiate that indeed, Confucius knew his Yi. (Click on Confucius and the Zhouyi link, if interested.)
Then I read of modern scholars and teachers who doubt the very existence of Laozi and Confucius.
It is funny to say the least that they believe in the existence of Zhuangzi but not that of Laozi and Confucius. Yet they read in the writings of Zhuangzi of both Laozi and Confucius who had lived in an era about two centuries earlier than him. It is also said that Zhuangzi claimed to be a follower of Laozi. (No point in bringing up again, the argument that the Chinese emperors and their ministers including grand historians a few centuries removed from both Laozi and Confucius, and those down the ages, had far greater access to historical records than any scholars.)
It seems that some scholars and teachers of ancient Chinese philosophy like to believe in what they want to believe, creating conundrums or at worst, paradoxes for themselves and their students in the studies.
Luckily, the Daoist and Confucian scholars who were top ministers in the first Han Court of Liu Bang had no such quibbles like modern scholars and teachers of ancient Chinese philosophy. These renowned Han scholars had no difficulty in accepting the existence of both Laozi and Confucius. (Read the Records of the Grand Historian)
If we want to know if certain personages of ancient history truly existed, read the right books and do our homework. To read about Confucius and his thoughts, I have always recommended the translations of the four Confucian books by James Legge.
One of the reasons for the recommendation is because Legge provided many important notes and comments of noted Chinese scholars down the ages on the sage's teachings, as well as on the sage's family and his numerous named students. If that is not good enough to prove the existence of Confucius for some, try reading his lengthy travels across the various ancient states in China as recorded in the Shiji. Or read the thoughts of Mencius who was said to be a student of the grandson of Confucius. (Any wonder why one has considered some Western scholars and teachers of ancient Chinese philosophy as third class scholars in an earlier post about nearly the same matter.)
While I am aware the James Legge's translations is out of print, one is sure the established libraries in the West still stock them. Is it too difficult for teachers or professors of ancient Chinese philosophy to get access to these translations and do their own homework instead of quibbling or reliving doubts about the existence of Confucius? It could make a difference to their knowledge or improve their class of scholarship.
(The previous entry on 'The mother of Mencius' was written for a similar purpose.)

Please may I know what are the titles by James Legge? Am hoping to get it from Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/authors/l#a1114). Thank you.
- Allan said...
The four Confucian books are:
The Analects, The Great Learning, The Doctrine of the Mean (three translations combined into one book); and The Works of Mencius.
The translations that I am reading were published by Dover Publications, INC. NY in 1971 come together with the Chinese text.
Dear Allan,
I'm not well read in Chinese philosophy and the yi. Still I cannot help noticing that texts mentioning the attention Confucius gave to the Yi Jing date back long after he was passed, in a time when it was politically rather convenient. On the other hand some scholars point out that among the books that Confucius did recommend his students and followers read, the yi jing was not found. Which is somewhat odd if one is to consider some comments he allegedly made about the yi.
Yours sincerely
- Allan said...
Liu Dajun, the current head of ancient Chinese philosophy, Shandong University, China said that he does not have the required knowledge to call himself a student of the Yi. Yet many others think or claim that they know the Yi rather well.
The Yi is so profound that the ancients including historiographers and the wise down the ages have had trouble understanding the prognostications or its wisdoms. (Refer to the Tso Chuan, and the Great Treatise.)
In the Analects, Confucius had referred to lines in the Yi (researchers may find the references or trails) and while in his old age, he requested for 50 more years to study the Classic so that he would come to no great faults.
Under such a scenario, do you think that a teacher even a great sage like him would request students to go read the Yi to correct their faults? Was it not proper for him to refer his students including his son to something easier like the Book of Odes, the Book of Music, etc for them to learn from there?
If we know a thing or two about the Yi, we may also understand why comments made therein by Confucius make sense in the Confucian way. Those were sagely remarks, so to speak. If Yi students or teachers cannot understand the wisdoms of his comments, in relation to Chinese civilization, they may have to dig deeper - more research and homework.
Obviously, it is so much easier making spurious claims, the bolder the better in this day and age! That is the work of the Xiao Ren, not that of the Junzi.

We celebrated last Saturday at our house with some friends and family. Spider man showed up is his mustang. All the kids ran to see him and said it was a costume. The Yakima Spidy drives with his mask off. They all laughed at all his tricks, including the adults. There were some hecklers in the crowd, Cooie and his friends. They wold not join in but had no problem telling spidy he was a "fake". That's my middle child.....keep in it real.
Happy Birthday to the most wonderful 7 year old in my world.....he's the light of my life along with his brothers of course.

I decided one morning, it would be a good idea to squirt toothpaste on my grandparents bathroom mirror. When confronted, I again denied it. It baffled my grandparents. Even a week later at dinner my grandfather decided $1 might entice the delinquent. My brother decided $1 was pretty good payoff for admitting to something he did not do. Still, no peep out of me.
I promise, today I have grown out of this. God, has decided to grant me with 3 little sneaky boys. I know that pay backs are a "you know what" but man on man.....why "3" sneaky little boys. They are really giving me a run for my money.
So, here is my sincere apology for all my sneakiness...I AM SOOOOOOO SORRRRRYYYY!

We love historic FRONT STREET in Yakima, WA
Here he is! My little poser! The one that pretends to "hate" having his picture taken. My 5 year old. The train track next to Front street in Yakima, WA. Tons of cute shops and yummy food. They have done a nice job with the revitalisation of this historic area. It's a great photo opp. as well! I don't mind the graffiti for the pics but it would be nice if Yakima could wipe out the graffiti.

Cameron's 3rd Birthday
I found these iron on transfers (free at www.gabbafriends.com) there are tons of cool Gabba freebies there. I used them to cut out foam sheets to create 3-D Gabbas. The only down side I could see to my creation is that Cameron wanted to play with them. He loved them so much he went to bed with them. I of course came in while he was sleeping to pry them out of his little hands. When he saw them hanging from the mobile, he yelled at me!
I used cardboard to make a giant Muno. I painted him red and used the left over foam to create the eye and mouth. He was a hit. So much so, I am afraid his arms will need to be amputated.
I made a sign that said "cammy" from the left over foam as well. It was in the colors of the Yo Gabba Gabba logo.
Muno cake pops. You could do these in any character, but it is time consuming.
Happy Birthday to me!
Usually I like to bake a cake, but was stretched for time. I bought these bath squirties for $10 on amazon and used them for cake toppers. Also, his gift from mom and dad. The store misspelled his name so I scrapped it off and wrote it myself...oh well! The Gabba backgrounds were also printed off from www.gabbafriends.com
Brobee bathrobe made by Auntie Christen, very awesome. Now if we could just get it off big bro!
And that's a wrap! Can I just say that I think he's pretty amazing! He did not deserve to have the flu on his b-day! I love my little 3 year old with all my heart. He's awesome!

boy, even though february is the shortest month, it sure does feel like it has taken forever to get here!
we've been light on snow here in providence this winter, replaced with gloomy grey.
i, for one, am certainly ready for spring.
what a wonderful way to welcome in a new month than with flowers...
and, of course, you can't beat the trader joe's price... just means you can get more to spread around the house!
and cake.
happy birthday to janet (my mother in law)!
we celebrated tonight with dijon scallops over risotto
(whole wheat) vanilla cake with strawberry icing.
and now, i am crawling into a bed made with fresh, clean, tucked-tight sheets.
good night!

She stood frozen to her spot on the floor as she heard his voice on the phone. He sounded weak, unsure and a little bit afraid.
"Do you love me?" he asked quietly.
She looked at her feet and gulped. Did she love him?
She took a deep breath before answering.
He smiled from the other end of the line. He felt a little hopeful now.
"Will you give me another chance?"
She let her breath out but didn't say anything.
Could she give him another chance?
6 months earlier
"And then…. And then he leaned forward and whispered 'I love you' before kissing me!" she squealed, almost making her friend drop her smoothie.
"Well that's nice!" the friend commented plainly, "I'm happy you're taking this forward. So, you really like this guy?"
The lovesick girl grinned. "Of course I do. I think we really have something special. It feels like a fairy tale" she said, with a dreamy look in her eyes.
Her friend twirled the straw in her drink. "Well, there's something you should know about him."
She couldn't believe her friend. "No way. He wouldn't do that."
"But he does, and he will. He's done that with each and everyone he's dated, and you're no different." her friend warned her.
She got up furiously, "I'm not the same as everyone else. He loves me and we're going to make this work. He's not going to be a playboy this time, you'll see."
Her friend simply looked at her with concern, "Babe, he may be your Prince, but you're not his princess"
And that's the last thing her friend ever said to her after that.
1 week earlier
It was pretty late. She'd had a bad day, and she didn't want to be alone. As she walked down the road to her apartment, she called her boyfriend.
He picked up the call, "Hey babe, where are you?"
"Almost home. Would you come over please? Today was kind of crappy and I really need you to be there"
It was an odd request, because they never really spent nights together. And when they occasionally did, it was at his place.
He hesitated before answering, "Sorry hon, can't make it today. My mum's ill and I've got to be here for her"
She frowned as she heard a woman's voice in the background, a voice too young to be his mother's.
"And that's her. She needs soup. I'll call you tomorrow? Thanks and sorry. Love you" he hung up.
Something told her he was lying, but she blamed her doubts on the crappy day. She sighed as she turned a corner
Tonight, she took a different route, one she doesn't take often. Tonight she took a route she almost wishes she hadn't. Because if she didn't take that route, she wouldn't have seen her boyfriend. She wouldn't have seen her boyfriend in front of another girl's house, taking in groceries together. She wouldn't have seen the girl with him.
If she hadn't taken that route, she wouldn't have seen her boyfriend drop the bags at his feet before pulling the said girl in for a kiss. If she hadn't seen that, she wouldn't have yelped in surprise and tears wouldn't have stung the corners of her eyes. He wouldn't have seen her and she wouldn't have ran away. If she hadn't taken that route, then maybe she still would've believed in fairy tales.
After that day, she learnt a lesson the hard way – fairy tales remain in the books. Princes don't come looking for their princesses through night and storm. Princes don't cut through poison ivy to kiss their princess. In fact, princes in real life grew the poison ivy that looked like roses and stung their princess. She had been naive and he had been deceiving.
He was her prince, but she wasn't his princess.
She wasn't the one he swept off her feet, led her up the stairwell. This wasn't a fairy tale, this was reality. And reality hurt like a bitch.
"Do you love me?" he asked quietly.
She took a deep breath in.
She thought about all the times he made her believe in fairy tales.
"Yes" she replied.
"Can you give me another chance?" he asked, afraid of the answer.
She let her breath go.
She remembered when he ruined her fairy tale. When he made her realize that fairy tales don't exist.
"No." she decided, before hanging up.

After receiving an email a few weeks before classes saying that we had to read All Souls: a Family Story from Southie, my first thought was darn. I tried to find the least expensive books possible, so I had already bought a copy for $5 Amazon weeks before. The problem was that I had shipped everything to my uncle's house in Mass. so I wasn't able to get the book until about a week and a half ago. Then there was the flurry of running last minute errands in Mass. for supplies that I left at home because there was no room left in my suitcases. What I'm actually saying is that I didn't crack open the book until last week, which was a struggle because of FYSOP. My second thought about the book was this is going to be long and arduous and horribly boring.
I was pleasantly surprised. Not only was the book captivating but it was raw and honest. Never did I learn about Southie in American history at school, and to learn more about the history of my new city from a personal story of one who grew up in the projects, where life was ravaged by crime, alcohol, and drugs, was jarring. At one point, I found myself willing for no one else to die, even though I could sense it in the pages.
Albeit heavy profanity, I highly recommend this book, with hopes that you find a new perspective on Boston and its history.

5 favourite drugstore lip products
Hey everyone I know today is not a regular upload day but today I have had my blog for 1 month but I wanted to thank-you for all of your support so I am going to be sharing with you my favourite drugstore lip products as a bonus post.
1- Revlon Lip Butter
These lip butters are so creamy and they are really pigmented. They come in a variety of shades I only have one but I am definitely going to be repurchasing it and hopefully buying more. I have the shade 96 macaroon. They are £7.99 and are available in Boots and Superdrug.
2- Barry M matte me up lip crayon
I only have 1 of these in the shade 2 and all though it is matte it is still really moisturizing. There are 5 shades but they are completely different colours and they would suit any skin tone. They are £4.99 and can be bought at Boots and Superdrug.
3- Natural Collection moisture shine lipstick
These lipsticks are shiny but one that I have is matte and it is the shade Pink Mallow/ They are quite moisturizing but they aren't as moisturizing as the Revlon lip butters. These are only available at Boots and they are £1.99
4- Rimmel Colour Rush
I have one of theses in the shade 100 Give Me A Cuddle which is a really nice bright/Barbie pink. They don't really last all day but they last for 2-3 hours so they are perfect for a short meeting etc. They are available at Boots and Superdrug and they are £5.99.
5-Kiko Deco Delight lipstick
I don't really know if this counts as a drugstore product but I wanted to include it anyway. I have the shade and it is really nice and it is a pink/red colour with lighter pink dots down the whole lipsticks that when they come of they just lighten the colour but it is still really nice. This is only available at Kiko and I got it for half price as it was on offer at the time when I got it but it is usually £3.90.

One aspect that has vitiated the investment climate is the tax regime and this needs to be addressed immediately.

February 2012 Integrated Solutions For Retailers
By Dwight D. Hill, strategist, The Retail Advisory LLC
Here's the cross-channel checklist necessary to meet your customer's needs.
Let's face it; today's customer is as demanding as ever. She wants choices, available merchandise at the right price, and convenience. She doesn't consider your organization structure while shopping — in other words stores, online, or catalog; she considers and shops you as a brand. She wants to shop across your stores, online, or catalog as she chooses and expects a convenient shopping experience — period. Translation — she expects your operations to be synchronized across all channels from her point of view.
To win this customer, retailers must have a singular focus on creating and maintaining a synchronized cross-channel customer experience. Only by testing your operations from the customer's point of view will you gain any level of certainty that you are getting it right. Below is a checklist and call to action that could guide your priorities for 2012.

Movie Review - Shaun the Sheep Movie
Written and directed by Mark Burton and Richard Starzak, the story involves an unnamed farmer who mainly is a shepherd but he has other animals like pigs and bulls. However, the film focuses on the farmer's interactions with the sheep, building to the fact that he has to sheer them. A sequence of events makes the farmer leave the farm almost permanently and the action becomes the sheep's attempts to get the farmer back.
Unfortunately, there really isn't much more depth than that. Given that the film has no dialogue, it's probably not capable of much more depth. Yet, Sylvain Chomet's animated films don't have dialogue, or if characters do speak, one isn't meant to understand specific words or sentences. Tone of voice and body language are the keys.
With that somewhat same limitation, Chomet is able to convey more depth. Chomet is able to be more intricate, maybe because he utilizes line drawings. Aardman Animation utilizes stop-motion, which is even more restricting. Yet, the story is all just a thin construct for doing comical, chase scenes or bits of comedy that involve sheep in the city trying to hide from a glorified dog-catcher.
Some of these bits go on for too long and there are perhaps too many of them that feel repetitive as almost to be boring. It could be somewhat entertaining to some, but what reduces it for me is the sequence of events that makes the farmer leave the sheep. The farmer's departure is just silly and ultimately accidental. I would have preferred if the farmer's leaving were more of his own accord, where it's his choice and not a goofy coincidence.
Three Stars out of Five.
Rated PG for rude humor.
Running Time: 1 hr. and 25 mins.

Happy Birthday, N. H. Kleinbaum, born 30 August 1948
Five Quotes
- Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.
- So avoid using the word 'very' because it's lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don't use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavour, laziness will not do. It also won't do in your essays.
- No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.
- We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. So medicine, law, business, engineering... these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love... these are what we stay alive for.
- When you read, don't consider only what the author thinks, but take time to consider what you think.

I headed to a local mark after dinner, got there just after high tide at about 8.45 pm. I had a few casts across an area of shallow rocks that was now flooded by the tide. There was no sign of any activity. I made my way along the shore to an area of flatter rocks where the water was deeper and began fishing. I had a few casts with an Xlayer, fired out a Patchinko and then switched to a Feed Shallow. On about the thrid cast a bass struck the lure only about 6 m out, it lept into the air and did a brief tailwalk before crashing back into the water. The fish was pulling hard and stripped some line before I had it under control and gradually coaxed it into a shallow gulley where I could lift it out. It was a stocky 53 cm bass, weighing just under 4 lb.
I continued fishing in the darkness and worked my way along the shore and then back. But there were no more bites. I hadn't been that hopeful since the tide was now dropping fast but decided to try it on the ebb as I always fish this section of coastline on a rising tide, looks like I will be sticking to fishing it on the rise. Since it didn't look too promising I packed up before Midnight, but at least I did get one bass.

Up to 200 worshippers crammed into a church in Nigeria were killed when the roof suddenly caved in during a bishop's ordination.
Survivors told how huge metal girders and corrugated iron sheeting suddenly crashed down on the congregation as they were bowed in prayer. Government officials said 30 people were killed but sources in Uyo put the death toll at around 200.
The city's morgues were packed with victims of the disaster.
One witness said: "Dead bodies are stacked on top of each other because there is no space."
An oil tanker exploded in a huge fireball slaughtering at least 40 people on one of Kenya's main highways.
The driver appeared to lose control before the tanker rammed into other vehicles.
Two girl suicide bombers killed up to 10 people at a market in the northern Nigerian city of Maiduguri today.
The attack was blamed on Boko Haram militants.
Women and children were among 25 people killed in an explosion at Egypt's Saint Peter and Saint Paul Coptic Christian church during Mass today.
Copts, who make up about 10 per cent of Egypt's population of 90 million, have been the target of terror attacks in the past.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Meanwhile, Turkey vowed to avenge the massacre of 40 people in two terrorist explosions outside a football stadium yesterday night.
A suicide bomber claimed more lives when he blew himself up at the same venue shortly afterwards.
A suicide bomber slaughtered at least 29 people in a lorry bomb attack in Somalia's capital Mogadishu today.
The attack was later claimed by Al-Shabaab militants.

Fantastic image, I reckon! Found here
If you've ever worked in any kind of customer service, you'll understand that yelling at people will never get you ahead-- ever.
I always liked to think, "Ok, you're yelling at me because you used this product for 6 months and the plastic thingermabobber fell off when you threw it off your balcony? and you want a full refund?*"... Oh, people!
Anyway, I was reading the Harvard Business Review (yeah, yeah, geek, I know) and I came across this article about how to get your way... THE NICE WAY!
It's really worth a read: Live Life As An Experiment
As the author writes: "when we live life as an experiment, we are far more willing to take risks, to acknowledge failure, to learn and develop. That's what experiments are all about: discovery and growth"
Maybe nice guys finish first?
*Not an actual story, but it feels pretty accurate, doesn't it?

New Delhi: In a scathing criticism of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), a Delhi special court has slammed the investigating agency by rejecting its closure report in a coal scam case.
The First Information Report, or FIR, pertained to the allocation of coal blocks to Kamal Sponge Steel and Power Limited and involved former coal secretary HC Gupta. The agency was expected to file a chargesheet. Instead, it filed a closure report.
The court has now asked all the people named in the FIR - including Mr Gupta - to appear before it as accused.
The court's move came at a time when the Supreme Court has called all coal block allocations illegal and the special court observed that it found the CBI's filing a closure report instead of a chargesheet "apparently wrong".
In its 31-page order today, the court said the investigation by the agency had been sketchy and was more of a "defence given by accused" and there was "hardly any understanding of the facts".
The case against Kamal Sponge Steel is one of misleading and misrepresenting facts and it involves unknown government officials.
Mr Gupta was the only senior bureaucrat to be implicated in the coal scam. The accusations against them involved conspiracy, cheating and misrepresentation of facts.
The agency has also moved to close the case against industrialist KM Birla in the coal scam even though crucial files are missing. In its response to this, the court again wanted to know why the agency was in a hurry to close the case.

"Autumn sadness by the river"
Soft pastel on pastel card.
i think those words of Ernest Hemingway so well explain ny mood and what i wanted to achieve here...
"You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person died for no reason."

Kaka feels pain in operated kneeAugust 3rd, 2008 - 3:12 pm ICT by IANS
Brasilia, Aug 3 (Xinhua) Brazilian international Kaka still feels pain months after an arthroscopic knee surgery. In a match between his Italian club Milan and Spanish club Sevilla, Kaka came off because of pain, which he feels is tendonitis.
Kaka underwent corrective surgery on his left knee in May and he was expected to recover quickly as the head coach of the Brazilian national soccer team, Dunga was counting on his presence during the Olympic Games in Beijing this week.
However, the player was not relieved by Milan, to participate in the Olympics. His team mate at Milan, Alexandre Pato, was cleared to play and will be playing along side the team's main attraction, Ronaldinho.
Kaka was expected to be fit in two weeks, but it now appears he may need more time to recover not only physically but mentally as well.
Kaka, who was operated upon in Rio de Janeiro, by Brazilian national team doctor Jose Luiz Runco, will return, if necessary, to Brazil for a check-up by the doctor.

Contractor Software That Gives Instant Quotes, Does it Exist?
Contractor Software MyServiceWhale Reviewed
What is the first thing that someone thinks of when they're considering a home improvement or major home project? For most it's this: "What is this going to cost me?" Not sure that's what they're asking themselves? According to Google that is indeed what they're asking themselves and you – you being their potential contractor. In their search for things like "HVAC repair" they include the words "cost" and "price" approximately 40% of time when they're shopping online for home improvement work. Since cost is definitely weighing heavily on their minds, what can you do to help them and to help yourself by turning those searches into actual customers? The answer may lie in a new contractor software program that enables their website to provide an instant quote after answering just a few questions. But, is that something that even exists?
According to MyServiceWhale, this new instant pricing contractors software does exist. What does it do exactly, just spit out some loosely fitted estimate? Can't lots of contracting software do that? That's true, there's been many programs over the years that claim to make your job as a contractor easier in the estimating business, and just as many websites, so if you're skeptical you're not alone. If you're curious and wonder whether or not it works at giving someone an instant price on a project, and how it does that you're in the right spot because we reviewed it to find out the answers for you. Here's what else we considered while reviewing this software: Does it give you higher conversion rates? What services can it quote? And finally the big one, is it worth it?
My ServiceWhale Software- How Does it Work?
After the software is integrated into your website by the MySW team, your customers are able to get upfront pricing on the projects that you manage. Alternatively, you the contractor could also use the software for your own onsite estimates, or from those potential customers that call in and ask for a quote. In any of these scenarios, once the information that is needed to calculate an accurate quote is entered, a true custom quote will be shown. To see it in action there's a demo video we found on YouTube and we placed it below.
How does it come up with the quote? According to SW the software runs a calculation using the information submitted by the customer as well as the information you contributed during setup, and after running through the algorithm they created, the software will provide a very precise estimation of what the project is going to cost. This isn't something you're immediately locked into though. There's still time for you as the contractor to verify that everything the customer put into the program is correct, and if it's off in some way you can help them to remedy that so you both have the true price.
The entire process of getting a quote on a home improvement project took us just a few minutes, as we found out when we tested it out from the customer side. See our review from the customer's standpoint here (which is how we then learned about their contractor software).
What Services Can the My SW Contractor Software Provide Quotes For?
The software is available to contractors in the U.S. and Canada and allows for remote quotes for the most common home projects that homeowners are shopping around for online. The quotes it can cover includes: HVAC, siding, electrical, decks and porches, tank water heaters, bathrooms, painting of interior and exterior, roofing and flooring and more.
For some a few of these services may seem easy to quote already, like flooring, however, consider in some of the other services like HVAC and water heaters which are never easy and you'll quickly realize just how unique and potentially invaluable this software could be to a contractor.
Is MyServiceWhale's Contractor Software Worth Using?
According to MyServiceWhale, businesses currently using their contractor software have seen conversion rate increases of over 40%. They've also seen an ROI of up to 530%. There's also the savings from having to go to the job site to give an in person estimate which can cost a contractor upwards of $300. These numbers definitely show that it's what homeowners want in this day and age of buying things online, even home improvement services, but does it cover the cost of using the software?
Well, let's look at the cost: The monthly cost of licensing the contractor software from MyServiceWhale is $300 and runs on a month by month basis. So having the program be able to take care of this part for you seems to pay for itself rather quickly even if you're just considering the cost of onsite estimates being lessened or possibly nixed altogether.
When you consider everything together, if it does work as well as they say it does you should break even quickly, and better yet you'll be better off than where you were without the program. But, if you're at all unsure about this we suggest you reach out to the MYSW team. We found that they were very open to discussing any money questions, which makes sense since their goal is to help you be profitable, and that also makes sense becuase if that wasn't their goal they're not going to be in business very long.
Since they offer a 30 day money back guarantee we don't really see how you could lose in at least giving it a try. The month to month part in the licensing agreement is also nice in that you're not locked in for a full year, and if you do have a slow time in your business or you're not making the returns you'd hope for the opt out option is easy enough.
Final opinion on value or worth? Once you look at the numbers, how the software works, and consider in the fact that it's a month by month program fee, it does indeed seem to be worth the price they're asking, or at the very least worth testing out for yourself under the money back guarantee.
Wait! What about using sites like Angie's List and others, don't they offer quotes? That's true, they do offer you as a contractor an ability to give a quote, for a huge amount of money that is, but it's not instant and it's not calculated by them for your company. The quote is all done by you, after a lot of back and forth between you and a the potential client.
OR Is This Contractor Software Right For You?
For contractors in the home improvement industry, converting searches and inquiries into a paying customer is always the aim, but what will it cost you? The way it used to work was through word of mouth from neighbors, friends or family, meaning little to no out of pocket on having to advertise.
Now though, it mostly works on how you're found online, and with that being said, having a website running contractor software that can provide an accurate and instant price is a huge gamechanger, one that has definite impacts on converting a search into a sale. When considering value, remember to factor that part in, which is that it is helping you to target 40% of the searches, which your competition can't reach since they do not have upfront prices like you do…should you try it.
What about downsides? We found that after reviewing the system as a customer, yep they have a side for customers too, that as a homeowner it was something we would love to use anytime we needed a contractor for our home. The only downside was that it's only available (at this time) in PA, NJ, NY, DC and MA. This isn't the case though with their contractor software (MyServiceWhale), as it can be installed anywhere in the U.S. or Canada.
So, any downsides at all? Although we always look for them and usually find at least one, in this instance we found no downsides to it whatsoever, even in the price. It runs smoothly, has great service, and with a money back guarantee and month to month agreement, there simply seems to be no bad side that we could find at all. If you find one however, we are confident that you'll let us know and we appreciate that as always!
How do you know if this particular contractor software program is good for you as a contractor? To answer that we need to answer this: Will the software program make your life, a contractor's life, easier and better? From everything we reviewed on and tested, we would say it would indeed.
My Final Two Cents
You may be asking yourself: "Why does this writer's opinion count at all? Sure, you can tell us that the contractor software works, but you're just a techie, right? How do you know if it's really going to help a contractor?"
True, I am a techie but not "just a techie." As a writer for DoitYourself.com and other home improvement sites, and as a past contractor in the home improvement industry, my experience isn't only in the tech side of things, so when I say what I am about to say, which is: "I've not seen anything better for contractors with a business online than MyServiceWhale," I'm speaking from experience and not just research.
If I were still a contractor in the home improvement industry, I would definitely choose MyServiceWhale as "the" tool to better my business over that of any other contractor software in the industry at this time. And no, we're not an affiliate of them, we make no money whether you decide to buy it, try it or forget it.
This review is as always, my own opinion based on what I tested and tried myself, something every writer here follows as well. If you think you need more help with your website and SEO, check out some of our other articles for your online business. We're here to help!

I think a lot about death and I used to think a lot about how I wanted to be handled after I die. I typically think that it would be great to have parts of me placed into a cake that every one gets to eat or to be used in a metal that is placed into the earth, never to be removed again. One thing I have not thought about? Being a pussy popper.
This story has been swirling around the Internet for the past day or so and has fascinated me: artist Mark Sturkenboom created a project called 21 Grams which combines an urn with a dildo. The weight the title refers to is folkloric idea that the human soul's mass and the amount of ash that will be placed in a glass dead person sex toy for you to fuck yourself from the afterlife with. It even comes with a speaker box (to play your beloved('s) music) and an atomizer to spritz you with their scent).
It goes without saying but this is genius. I would like my body to be turned into many dildos! Everyone should be able to fuck me and be fucked by me posthumously. There are so many lives and so many people I didn't get the chance to have sex with so why not let this be the opportunity for everyone to get off, right? It's also good looking and, since we're all good looking, it's the perfect medium for us.

Mom Update
My dad just got back from the hospital, and picked my sister up. I asked him how mom was, and she said that she's passed a little fluid, but just a tiny bit, like a couple of ounces or something. The doctor says her kidneys are all swollen up like she's been in a car wreck or something and injured them. He asked her all these questions about whether she'd been doing any abnormal activities that she's not used to or anything, but she hasn't really. The only thing she's been doing is she did a little work moving furniture and stuff since they're remodeling the house some, but she's always done stuff like that, so it shouldn't have hurt her, especially not like that or anything.
Well, that's really all the news I have about it, my dad was only here a minute or two. I'm going to go over to my parent's house later and maybe I'll learn some more then. Probably not though, he said there wasn't really anything to tell other than that. They never did hook her up to the dialysis machines though, for some reason.

Presque Isle Man Dies After Being Shot in Confrontation With Police Officer
A Presque Isle man who was shot during an armed confrontation with a police officer on Saturday evening has died at a Bangor hospital.
The Presque Isle Police Department says Eastern Maine Medical Center has notified them that 29-year-old Derek Sam passed away at 12:35 a.m. Tuesday.
Sam was airlifted to the Bangor hospital in critical condition Saturday night after he was shot by a Presque Isle Police Officer in a Main Street parking lot. Police said Sam had aggressively approached the officer with a knife and he was shot after a TASER failed to stop him.
He was reportedly wounded in the abdomen and had undergone surgeries at EMMC before passing away early Tuesday.
The Office of the Maine Attorney General is continuing its investigation into the use of deadly force.

Why we want Republicans to debate for-profit colleges
For generations of Americans, the opportunity to go to college has served as the pathway to social mobility. Today, however, predatory for-profit colleges are giving students and taxpayers the shaft by trading on this American dream—and some prominent Republicans are defending these institutions.
This year alone, the two largest for-profit college chains in the country came under heightened scrutiny—and another one collapsed outright. In April, the Department of Education levied a $30 million fine against for-profit giant Corinthian Colleges Inc. for its misrepresentation of job placement rates. On hundreds of occasions, Corinthian lied to students about their job prospects as part of recruitment, promising them high-quality jobs on real career ladders in exchange for their tuition dollars and hard work.
By April, Corinthian Colleges collapsed and filed for bankruptcy, leaving tens of thousands of students with crippling debt and no recourse.
For-profit colleges are far more concerned with making a buck than giving students the high-quality education they pay for and deserve. On average, they spend an estimated 23 percent of their revenue on marketing and recruiting, while 19 percent goes to profit and only 17 percent goes to instruction. Compare that to public community colleges, where more than 80 percent of revenue goes to instruction, and you can see that for-profit colleges are just that—for profits, not for students.
For-profit colleges are far more concerned with making a buck than giving students the high-quality education they pay for and deserve.
These practices mean hardships for real people. In Gerardo Sandoval's case, going to ITT Tech meant spending $55,000 for a degree in computer and graphic design, what he calls "the worst choice I've ever made in life." ITT Tech recruiters and staff used pressure tactics to get Gerardo to sign for tens of thousands in student loans while providing an embarrassingly poor education. His degree proved to have no value to employers; Gerardo made less than he did with just a high school diploma. Even worse, ITT Tech's career services made him lie and report that he was making three times as much so that their programs could appear successful.
We can't be a country that tells students that college is really important but then allows predatory institutions to stick them with crippling debt, worthless degrees and an uncertain future. We desperately need to fix what's broken and protect the rights of students.
But instead of standing up for students, Republicans in Congress and on the presidential trail are defending for profits. No matter how many candidates may crowd onto the Republican debate stage, there's no debating that GOP presidential hopefuls love the for-profit college industry.
In June 2014, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio wrote the Department of Education, pleading for it to "demonstrate leniency" toward Corinthian Colleges, which at the time was under federal investigation for its scams. The department had to remind Rubio that Corinthian "admitted to falsifying placement rates and/or grade and attendance records at various institutions."
As governor of Florida, Jeb Bush reduced for-profit oversight in the state, leaving in place a "commission" that failed to act on any complaints in 15 years, while loosening rules to funnel more taxpayer money into the industry. His New Jersey counterpart, Gov. Chris Christie, has lobbied for the University of Phoenix—the largest for-profit college in the United States—and attacked public universities by slashing state funding for higher education. The University of Phoenix receives more than 90 percent of its revenue from taxpayers, yet it spends two and half times more on marketing than it does on instruction, and exploits veterans by taking their GI benefits and spending them on lavish advertisements.
In Louisiana, Gov. Bobby Jindal's brother was a hired gun for the for-profit industry. But, of course, Gov. Jindal failed to mention this fact while pushing to loosen the rules for for-profits and expand the industry. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee worked for Victory University, a for-profit based in Memphis, Tenn. Four years after signing on, and in spite of Huckabee's best efforts, Victory collapsed, leaving 1,600 students stranded and in debt.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker went to bat for predatory for-profit ITT Tech, which currently faces fraud charges filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission for concealing its massive student default rates. ITT has had more students default than graduate at 45 campuses across the country.
It's bad enough that the skyrocketing cost of college has made higher education diplomas as much a financial liability as a career asset. Students want to go to school to better their lives and those of their families. It's time we offered them a path to that dream—and removed the for-profit debris obscuring it.
Together, we urge Fox News and Facebook, the hosts of the first Republican presidential primary debate, to ask the candidates to explain their coziness with an industry that is compromising the American dream. Why are they for profits, and not for students?
