I am not speaking as a highly expert player, but rather someone who always wins against people with little or no experience, and against overly simplistic computerized versions. So the approaches I've learned can get you from beginner to intermediate. I'll start with simple stuff first: Corners are vital. Once you get a corner, it will never change color. ...
Yes, it is possible. Here is a youtube link showing a game where black fills the entire board: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prWG1OFgVqg&t=0m30s (the game starts at 30s)
Yes, it is possible for neither player to be able to make a move without the board being full. The Wikipedia article for Reversi has this example from a competition: There are also simpler examples where all the pieces are turned to the same colour (YouTube video).
I am not a lawyer, and have experience only in Ontario, but under Ontario law wagering on games of skill is not gambling. In a well-known case from the 1960's or early 1970's, in which the St. Clair Bridge Studio was defending itself against charges of running a gambling house, barrister and bridge player Eric Murray in his winning defence argued that bridge ...
The permutations of the game makes it hard to come up with one specific strategy. Personally I like to "dance around" the X squares, trying to tease my opponent into placing his pieces there. But always remembering that it should cost him more than it should ever cost me. As a general rule, your objective is to limit the number of liberties (that is, the ...
You can play online on Yucata http://www.yucata.de/en/GameInfo/Reversi. Generally the games are played over days rather than "real time" though. Lots of other great games too
"wipeout" is an example of such an ending, too! It's not something that happens to serious players, but it certainly happens to casual players.
It actually can be a bad move to avoid the X squares as long as possible. I've seen games where players so pointedly avoided them that the four corners were taken before the first X space was played. If that happens, especially on an already-dense board, the corners lose a lot of advantage because it can be impossible to "riposte" and capture back any spaces ...

In the 7th-best ski resort in southwest central Colorado, the homes and haunts of affluent vacationers have become the playgrounds of the local townies and seasonal itinerant workers. Class, competition and cold weather collide as the lifestyles of the rich intersect with the lifestyles of the aimless in the bubbling waters of a hot tub.Shown in development, this latest show from Brooklyn-based company The Debate Society takes you to an Alpine getaway inspired by early '90s ski culture, Clinton-era economics and historical feuds.Read The Debate Society's interview about Jacuzzi in Culture Critic"The most beguiling and visually inventive experimental troupe in years."

Cleaning Armstrong Alterna Floor
We had an Alterna floor installed two weeks ago in our kitchen and family room which is being remodeled. It's a beautiful floor. Although Armstrong's installation instructions and website discuss many "don'ts" for cleaning Alterna, there's no mention of steam mops at all. The steam mop is helpful in our situation because of family allergies to many cleaning products.
I just talked with Emily at Armstrong who said they "discourage" the use of a steam mop because "over time" the heat can break down the finish. There were a lot of hesitations in her answer. They only recommend their own products (of course), which is really no solution. . Good for Armstrong on designing a beautiful product, bad on them for not suggesting an "alterna" to their own products.
Can anyone share their cleaning experiences or recommendations with this product?

Hey ladies, Tracy Cole here with Road Runner Sports, and I'm here to talk to you about the importance of having a supportive sports bra. Because, let's face it ladies, we've all seen it, you're out on the road running, and along comes a woman and she is bouncing everywhere. And, you're asking'yourself, could that be me? Well, I hate to tell you, but if you're not wearing a supportive sports bra, it is you. So, come with me, we're going to check it out. Here's our D cup model running in a sports bra she thought was supportive. Notice how much bounce she's experiencing. We sized her and put her in her perfect fitting sports bra and look at the difference. I bet you didn't know, breasts move side to side, up and down and in and out. Looking from the front, you can really see this movement. In the supportive bra, you'll notice that this movement is significantly reduced. Amazing. Your breasts are supported by fibrous ligaments that can be damaged by excessive bouncing. When you run in an unsupportive bra like the one our double D model is wearing, this movement can cause permanent damage and sagging breasts later in life. Now look at how much more supported she is after we fit her in her new bra. You can rely on a well fitted, supportive bra to prevent breast droop. Even A cups need support and you can see a noticeable difference in the before and the after with our model. So, remember, prevent saggy boobs later in life with a well fitted sports bra. And, don't guess your size. Come to a Road Runner Sports store and get your personalized bra fitting or watch our fitting room confidential video to get your perfect fit.

Comments about Womens R-Gear Rock Steady T-Back Sports Bra:
This sports bra is comfortable, easy to get on and off, and doesn't flatten your breasts. I've worn this bra a couple times already to run and haven't experienced any problems, discomfort, or chaffing.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Womens Moving Comfort Grace C/D Sports Bra:
Once I tried this bra out, it quickly became all I ever wear. I am a 34 D and have both bounced around in bras without enough support and ached with bras that think that "support" is achieved by just making the bra too tight. All moving comfort bras have a fantastic fit with support, but the front-zip is SO key with this one-- it's so easy to get on and off! It makes all the difference in the world. I now own 4 of these, and am so disappointed when they're all dirty and I have to resort to a fasten-in-the-back version. My only wish is that it was available in something besides boring black or white. Highly recommended!

Which accounting package?
I currently use sage line 50 client manager for one of my clients to do his bookkeeping and management accounts, and then I use Iris to produce the year end accounts. My client is now looking to take a more active role in the day to day accounting and to do all the inputting of data in house and has asked me to recommend and evaluate the various options that are available. Taking into account the fact that none of the staff that will be using the software have any bookkeeping experience my initial recommendation was for him to purchase his own licence of sage and for me to have remote access via Logmein or vnc and then go to his premises once or twice a month to hand hold and prepare the management accounts etc. The client, however thinks that sage is too much for his needs and does not see it important that by changing he will be losing 8 years of historical data and has decided he wants to go for one of the online options. I wondered which ones other accountants would recommend based on first hand experience. I have had demo's and set up a trial for my client of Iris Openbooks and Sage one, even though both of these packages have some very useful features, especially the uploading of the bank statement within Iris, the lack of batch entry of purchase invoices is a real drawback and neither is going to be very easy to correct mistakes without doing journals and regardless of how much training I give in the early months, so I could end up having to spend a lot of time putting right the mistakes. Each month there are about 100 purchase invoices, 20 sales invoices and 3 pages of bank statements.
Any suggestions/recommendations would really be appreciated.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Sales at U.S. company-owned Pizza Hut restaurants declined 4 percent for the four-week period ending Dec. 28, while numbers for the Dallas-based company's fourth quarter rose 1 percent.
According to a news release, Pizza Hut said the shift of the Thanksgiving holiday to period 13 (its final reporting period for fiscal 2002) negatively impacted sales, which were on an upswing in the fall.
On the heels of its Chicago Dish introduction, the chain posted same-store sales increases of 5 percent in October and 1 percent in November.
* Pizza Hut is rolling out a new dine-in prototype in Columbia, Tenn., on Jan. 28.
According to the Columbia Daily Herald, spokesperson Julie Hildebrand called the site "the first Pizza Hut you'll see of this type anywhere."
The new design will seat 100 diners and feature an expanded menu with a hot buffet but no salad bar.
"It's gonna resemble something along the line of a fast-casual restaurant, versus fast-food," Hildebrand said. "Kind of like an Applebee's or Chili's."
* On the international front, Pizza Hut is eyeing 22 mid-size cities in India as home for 55 projected new units.
According to the Financial Times, that would bring the Pizza Hut unit count there to 100 by 2004.
Among the new markets mentioned are the towns of Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Dehradun, Shimla, Kochi, Meerut, Nashik, Madurai, Pondicherry, Indore and Mysore.
Each new restaurant will cost Rs 1.5-2 crore (U.S. $300,000 to $400,000).
Pankaj Batra, director of marketing for Yum! Restaurants International, franchisor of Pizza Hut in India, said the country is among the "top five growth markets for Pizza Hut. We are experiencing double-digit growth in India and hence are confident about expanding our operations in the country."

Skateboarding is among the most challenging activities to learn and participate it. Aside from being technical, it can also be dangerous. One of the reasons many parents don't let their kids skateboard is fear of injury. Today, there are over 30 million skateboarders in the world, but there might be many more if people knew how.
A recent study by Transworld Business Magazine interviewed thousands of so-called "extreme sports enthusiasts." It asked them which extreme sports they participate in. They surveyors then asked what were there reasons for not participating in each sport they didn't do. There were varying reasons for each sport- mainly cost and time. However, for skateboarding, the number one explanation was that they "didn't know how."
One of the possible reasons why so many don't know how to skateboard is that it is not as easy to find a school as skiing, snowboarding or surfing. Every ski resort and most surf shops advertise lessons. However, there are very few skateboard shops that advertise skateboard lessons.
Skateboarding lessons started picking up steam in 2010. GoSkate.com was founded and started promoting lessons on a nationwide basis. This could have possibly kicked off a bunch of independent lesson company out of Go Skate's contractors. Another factor is that many skateboarders are young in age. Many had not matured to the point where they needed money, and therefore were less likely to offer lessons.
As skateboarding grows older so does it's participants. It is highly likely that we will see a rise in the amount of schools worldwide. It's only a matter of time until skateboarders begin to see an easy way to make money while enjoying what they love.

Yeah, great idea, let's take a language whose roots are in the 1970s and break backwards compatibility to increase its appeal to young people with six digit slashdot IDs.
If C++ looks bloated to you, (a) define bloat and (b) name some languages you have used, that you consider not-bloated. Good answers are available to both questions; I want you know yours.
As a tourist from New Zealand, the toll booths are my overriding memory of Orlando. Well, that and the Kennedy Space Centre.
The really fun thing to do is drive from the wrong airport to the right one, running late for a direct flight to SF (and then across the Pacific, home - not a flight you want to miss). By the third or fourth toll booth I was flinging correct change at the attendants.
They were neat little machines. I was still using one in 2001, running Linux.
The easiest option is to use a null modem cable between the two PCs serial ports. For a file transfer app, I recommend Filelink which came with DR-DOS and therefore will be on the install disks for OpenDOS which you can download for free these days.
You only need it on one PC, it can bootstrap itself over the null modem cable.
The other option is to get a 2.5" IDE to USB adapter. You can get ones that do SATA too and will be useful in other situations in the future.
Google Fibre, like every other ISP, will at some point have to monitor some subscribers traffic to debug network faults and the like. They're being upfront about it, that's all. If you want an ISP who never runs tcpdump, good luck to you.
Totally agree. At some point your product needs to be built, your systems need to be administered, etc. If your product can only be built by the top 5% of talent, your hiring pool is much smaller. If you can't hire those people, your product won't be built. There is wisdom in trying to not be too clever.
Great idea (says me from not-the-USA). I suggest you massively slash your defence budget. This will solve your budget problems very quickly, and will probably improve your country's perception abroad.
In New Zealand, income from a job where you are an employee (most people) is handled by a system called PAYE (pay as you earn). It's automatically deducted from your pay.
Bank account interest is handled by RWT (residents witholding tax), automatically deducted from your interest. If you're not in the top tax bracket you need to tell your bank, or they will overtax you.
Every year you can, if you wish, ask for a "personal tax summary" which states income and tax. If you paid too much tax, e.g. if you took unpaid leave, said overpayment will automatically be refunded. If your RWT rate was wrong you can ask for a refund of that, too.
If you made donations you send in a form (1 page) with receipts, and get a refund.
If you're a small business/self employed/etc then yes, you have to work out how much tax you are supposed to pay. But most people aren't in that situation.
Isn't that what IT people do? Optimise for the common case?
I'm having trouble working out if you're being sarcastic or genuinely uninformed.
Silly question, but is a company which tries very hard to pay no tax on its profits a "legitimate business" or a leech on society?
Yes, I know they do neat stuff, as do many other companies. Yes, many other large companies legally avoid taxes. They're leeches too.
Yours sincerely, someone who likes his tax-funded healthcare and education systems. [can you guess I'm not in the US?]
In New Zealand most people don't need to file a tax return at all. If you ask the tax department they will send you a Personal Tax Summary which states what they think you earnt and paid in tax. If it says you paid too much they will automatically issue you with a refund.
The only paperwork I do for personal tax is to sent in my donation receipts to get a tax credit. I did this yesterday, took less than half an hour.
Price, availability, and community. What software (distros, etc) is available for this week's raspberry pi killer? What will be available in a year's time?
I have a similar experience, although there is some stuff I would like to do that's a pain:
* Photo managment with Shotwell -- not enough local storage
* Video editing with PiTiVi -- not enough local storage or horsepower (not that I've tried, don't think crouton/xephyr support video acceleration)
I was going to leave an old PC on to remote into for stuff like that, but it's deciding to be unreliable and I need a way to automatically suspend it to save power.
V6 to DNS/NAT: you mean NAT64? It's a thing. It works.
But what we'll probably end up with is Carrier Grade NAT for IPv4, hopefully dual-stacked with native IPv6. There are already ISPs selling CGN IPv4 connections with no IPv6 support, e.g. most cellular IP service.
All our [NZ] ISPs seem to be falling over themselves to offer uncapped service at the moment, often with no "fair use" clause.
Move here. It's not that hard. If you need an IT job, my employer is hiring.
Adding features does not necessarily increase functionality -- it just makes the manuals thicker.

TravelPod Member Reviews790 on George Sydney
Right off the bat and with an elbow to 790 on George streets face, this seriously can't be the second best hostel in all of Sydney?!
Given that it's right inside the CBD area in Haymarket, it may sound appealing to simply stumble out of bed right into traffic and head out for some sightseeing.
The interior of the building however, showcases a whole series of sorry looking art work, presumably from previous backpackers to save some money, that was never spent on anything in this hostel. Most horrific of all however, is the descend downstairs into an appalling prison cafeteria, which gives you the heebie-jeebies and a nosefull of stagnant and reeking junk food on the way down.
By all means, if you'd rather save a pretty penny on accommodation and splash out on some first rate coffee, why not?
Yet mouldy shower curtains, a lack of free wifi and a prison cafeteria may not be for everyone.
Check out the Wakeup! Sydney instead and be sure to have a great stay in Australia's most populous city right from the beginning.

Harinordoquy admits to French uprising
ESPNscrum Staff
October 31, 2011
Imanol Harinordoquy was less than impressed with the coaching techniques of Marc Lievremont © Getty Images
Imanol Harinordoquy has confirmed that France's players rebelled against head coach Marc Lievremont during their Rugby World Cup campaign and managed themselves throughout the knockout stages.
There were rumours of unrest within the French camp before the tournament even began, with one report suggesting that 25 members of the 30-strong panel had turned against Lievremont. The coach's public criticism of his troops after the laboured win over Japan on the opening weekend and their shock loss to Tonga in their final pool outing did little to quell the speculation that the players were planning a mutiny. Harinordoquy has now revealed that matters came to a head after their fortuitous qualification for the quarter-finals.
"After the defeat against Tonga…. I did not attach too much importance to what Marc said," the Biarritz No.8 told Midi Olympique. "It was our adventure. It was meant to be the nice experience of 30 men. We had to free ourselves from his supervision."
Harinordoquy argued that Lievremont had been the author of his own downfall by repeatedly berating the players in the media.
"He cast the stone at us too often. When something goes wrong, we're all in the same boat. There are no good or bad guys," the veteran back-row said.
It had already been decided that Lievermont would step down after the tournament and Harinordoquy admitted that he was not sorry to see the back of the former France international. "I felt he was lost," the Basque said. "I will not miss him."
Meanwhile, Harinordoquy supported the view of many of his colleagues, and indeed a number of impartial observers, that South African referee Craig Joubert had been guilty of double standards in France's World Cup final defeat by New Zealand.
"He was only looking at us," he said, before then accusing Joubert of allowing All Blacks flanker Richie McCaw a free rein at the breakdown.
"He [McCaw] played the whole match in our camp. He did a lot of things and nobody told him anything. Three minutes from the end of the game, I saw him dive on the side of a ruck and he stayed there for ages."

What are the signs and symptoms of Hanhart syndrome?
The Human Phenotype Ontology provides the following list of signs and symptoms for Hanhart syndrome. If the information is available, the table below includes how often the symptom is seen in people with this condition. You can use the MedlinePlus Medical Dictionary to look up the definitions for these medical terms.
The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) has collected information on how often a sign or symptom occurs in a condition. Much of this information comes from Orphanet, a European rare disease database. The frequency of a sign or symptom is usually listed as a rough estimate of the percentage of patients who have that feature.
The frequency may also be listed as a fraction. The first number of the fraction is how many people had the symptom, and the second number is the total number of people who were examined in one study. For example, a frequency of 25/25 means that in a study of 25 people all patients were found to have that symptom.

Gallery: Artist Constructs Massive Spiral Out of 270,000 LEGOs in Amste...
LEGOS aren't just for kids anymore. Industrial designer Lene Ronsholt Wille has constructed an immense and elegantly curved spiral out of the children's building block toys in Amsterdam. Called "Metaphorical Horizons," the smooth white structure coils around the lobby of the city's World Trade Center. Made of 270,000 white LEGOS, the installation can function as a bench, a desk or as a sectioned off space within the open lobby. Constructed over a six week period, Wille created the structure to represent the feeling of infinitely moving, while also constantly being aware of the horizon in the distance.
Viewed from above, the shape of "Metaphorical Horizons" appears as two overlapping circles. But at eye level, it resembles two straight lines, gradually increasing in height as the circle slopes around. Since the circle form is simple and minimalist, Wille chose LEGOS as a material to lighten up the mood of the installation. The Minimalist Art Movement can be thought of as solemn and serious, so by using LEGOS, Wille pokes a little fun, and highlights the imaginary aspect of the installation.

ArrowOliver and Slade's ultimate showdown will be a three-part affair starting with the April 30 episode — and the final hour will take place in 24-style real time. With Roy more dangerous than ever and Laurel in the know about Oliver's secret, the Arrow's life is slowly crumbling around him in what executive producer Andrew Kreisberg calls "some of the darkest stuff we've ever done." Several familiar faces will return to help in the final fight for Starling City, but what happens in town is only half of it. "There's a couple of massive surprises for the island," Kreisberg says, hinting that there could be a death before the season is up. "The gloves are off and anybody can die at any minute."
The Big Bang TheorySheldon finds himself at a crossroads after Caltech refuses to let him change his field of study. His world is even more rocked when Leonard and Penny discuss living together without him. The couple will also broach the subject of getting engaged again, and executive producer Steve Molaro promises at least one more proposal. Will it actually stick this time? "There's a lot of discussion in the last few episodes and they both realize they have to decide how serious they are about doing this," he says. Elsewhere, Raj and Emily continue to heat up, Howard and Bernadette try to find a caregiver for an injured Mrs. Wolowitz, and the season ends with "many big moves" and cliff-hangers (yes, multiple) that "affect everyone," Molaro teases.
The BlacklistCreator Jon Bokenkamp promises a "big and muscular" two-part finale, which starts May 5, that addresses some of the show's ongoing mythologies. Although he wouldn't spill if we'd learn about Red's true relationship with Liz, we will get more details about Liz's not-husband Tom Keen. "In regard to both Tom and the series as a whole, we will give some satisfying answers," he says. "It has built into that episode specifically some really big mysteries that will be really fun to unwrap."

DA taking NY in-custody death to grand jury
A New York prosecutor says he's asking a grand jury to consider charges in the death of a man placed in an apparent chokehold by a police officer
Associated Press
NEW YORK — A New York prosecutor says he's asking a grand jury to consider charges in the death of a man placed in an apparent chokehold by a police officer.
Staten Island District Attorney Daniel Donovan announced Tuesday that an extra grand jury will be impaneled to hear evidence next month in the July 17 death of Eric Garner.
Amateur video shows the 43-year-old gasping "I can't breathe" as an officer places him in a chokehold.
Donovan says his decision is based on his office's investigation and the medical examiner's ruling that the death was homicide.
He says a court granted his request for the extra grand jury on Monday.
The Rev. Al Sharpton is leading a protest to Donovan's office on Saturday. He's calling for charges against the officers involved in Garner's death.

Signs of a poor diet
Understanding the signs of a poor diet in cats is essential
There are a number of symptoms to look out for which can tell you about your cat's diet, helping you to determine whether they are receiving the right amount of nutrients. Healthy food is vital to deliver everything they need to keep them happy and healthy - take a look at our guide to the signs of a poor diet in cats, and book an appointment in one of our stores to speak to one of our Nutrition Consultants about your cat's diet.Digestion
Litter boxes are a good way to ensure that your cat's digestion is healthy, as you can find out whether they're having any trouble urinating or passing stools. Cats can develop urinary tract infections easily, which can be triggered by obesity and sometimes by high levels of calcium like those found in fish - so if you notice your pet having trouble it's worth taking them to a vet to learn how you can make things easier and help your cat recover.Weight
Both weight gain and weight loss are major indicators of poor diet in cats - and this isn't always down to the amount of food they're eating. Carbohydrate-rich food is fattening to cats, even in small doses, while underweight cats are unlikely to be receiving the proteins and nutrients they need for healthy growth. It's advisable to weigh your cat every couple of weeks to track any changes, and speak to a vet if you're concerned. Weight change can also be an indicator of other health issues, so don't make any major changes to their diet until you've spoken to an expert!Skin
A number of pet foods contain allergens like corn and gluten, which can result in dry and itchy skin in cats. The only sure-fire way to avoid this is to aim for foods without any fillers or artificial ingredients; although you'll find that a chat with a vet will help you to understand whether your cat is particularly sensitive to certain foods and change their diet accordingly. An unbalanced diet doesn't necessarily mean that your cat is being fed too much or too little; often it's also down to the quality of the food and the contents within.
If you do have any questions about your pet's diet, pop into one of our Pets at Home stores and book a free appointment with a nutrition consultant for advice on feeding your cat.

NoSew SilkyMerino SlipDress
if you've spent any time with me in recent years
you'll know that i absolutely love the SilkyMerino knit that Marion stocks at Beautiful Silks
it comes in a tube
(i carry one for snuggling into on planes)
dyes like a dream
and doesn't fray
so when a student asked for help in devising a dress to wear to her daughter's wedding i had no hesitation in recommending she get a length and a pair of scissors
here's what we did
(using my grandmother's method of measuring/cutting based on your own body parts)
those little 'u's on the drawing are the cuts we made
notice that the cut is finger-shaped...a straight cut will fray at the point of the cut
do not be tempted to make the cut any bigger...though it looks small
remember the cloth is a tube
so the actual hole is bigger than it seems
and if you want the cowl neck to also be a hood, make it longer
(double is a good notion)
shorten the hem as desired, but if you keep it long the whole thing also doubles as a shawl or a sleeping tube for long-distance travel
and if (like my granny) you think a little mystery goes a long way
wear it over a close-fitting T of some kind
otherwise, enjoy the breeze...or if you're really keen for some stitching, add a few tucks in the area between the cuts

On the count of three
It's nearing 3am on the morning after the last of the Bower Bird Blues workshops and I'm lying wide awake listening to the pounding of the ocean and thinking of all the things I could have done better.
Kubbi on the other hand is snoozing peacefully by my side.
Scrolling back through my Batfone I'm surprised to find this is the only image I made of the newly established Botanical Studio at Beautiful Silks in Allansford
Marion and Elephant have worked miracles to create a retreat and workshop centre dedicated to facilitating ecologically sustainable textile arts.
During our three days together we were spiritually sustained by the beauty of the space and gardens and nourished by deliciousgood meals prepared by Marion - supplemented by various dulcet delectables from the kitchen of her good friend Brenda.
Once again we were considering the blues (though my limited set of images doesn't really reflect that). There was stitching, stringmaking, writing and the beating of leaves. Complemented by much enthusiasm in the hammering and sawing of metals (under the direction of Roz Hawker) - sadly I don't seem to have any images of those pieces either. Ah well.
Indigo leaves were beaten in as well as bundled.
The surface of this dyebath was absolutely jewel-like.
As were the bundles that emerged from it
Somehow in between all that we found time to design a simple dress for one of the participants to wear to her daughter's wedding - all she has to do now is dye it.
I'll write up the instructions in the next post, meanwhile I'm hoping to drift into the arms of Morpheus for a while...if I can stop the churning of thoughts!

back country in Tasmania
it was a splendid week in Tasmania
i stayed with friends at Dodges Ferry while hanging the exhibition
and then another kind friend lent me a dear little house at Red Ochre Beach
so i had somewhere to retreat in monastic solitude
each evening for the duration of the workshop
each evening for the duration of the workshop
i love the sea
and if i could somehow transport our farm to an edge
where a river meets a much bigger water
it would be absolutely perfect
on the other hand
i wouldn't want to go anywhere anymore
and would likely become a complete hermit
so it's probably
just as well
but now
i'd better load my blue things into the ute
and get a few hours of snooze in.
i have a crack of dawn departure for Allansford
and the last of the Bower Bird Blues classes
at Beautiful Silks Botanical Studio
guess who else is coming?

getting ready to be (t)here
'being (t)here' is a class i love to teach. each time is an adventure in itself
it's a class which is suited as much to a forest as to a riverside
or even an industrial wasteland
magic is everywhere, the delight is in the detail
and everything has a fascination if you look at it with your heart
this week i will be in Tasmania
(i love islands)
installing back country for Ten Days on the Island (recently renamed the Tasmanian International Arts Festival) before class begins - it will have a new piece in it to replace the one acquired by the Tamworth Regional Gallery last month -
the only really tricky bit is editing which resources to take,
choosing a teacup for the ride
and trying to reorganise the sewing box/tool kit
which seems to have a mind of its own.
happily i can make do most of the time
so long as i have my trusty collection of readings with me
and a piece of string to hang them on.
the last piece of string stayed in Aotearoa
it was as long as the flight from New Orleans to Vancouver.
tomorrow i will make a string that will measure the distance from Adelaide to Hobart
while gazing out the window of the plane
i will confess i do love flying, though it's admittedly not the kindest mode of transport in terms of the environment
it would take a long time to get to Tasmania on my windsurfer
and my books would get wet.
someone else has a mind of her own, too.
it seems Martha has taken Kubbi aside and given her The Word on suitcases
(in a few months time she won't fit in)
PS i'm not entirely sure, but i think some places remain open in being (t)here classes in Scotland and France later this year

I wish I had read and taken it to heart forty years ago.

lovely Lopez and the Pacific North West
as regular readers of this blog have probably discerned
my heart has many homes.
one of them is Lopez Island and i'm happy to say that
after i present my workshop for Maiwa in Vancouver
i will be boarding the train
hoping for a window seat on the starboard side
and heading back there in the northern Fall
more details here
i just wish i could bring my Kubbi-Kabuki-dog to play with Isla (a.k.a. Her Royal Fluffiness) whose image you will see if you click on the link above

same town, new eyes
yesterday i had to take the trusty Augustus
down to Murray Bridge for a grease and oil change
i love that i can take backroads there
through familiar bits of wide brown land
some visitors have described our roads as brutal
frankly most times i'd rather putter along on the dirt than hoon along the freeway
(unless i'm in a pony car. that's a different matter. entirely.)
after we dropped Augustus at his day spa
Kubbi and i faced a day on foot in the great outdoors
(they don't offer loan vehicles if you have a furry friend)
also, we needed to carry supplies (drinks and snacks)
because unlike the customs prevailing in Europe
where dogs are welcome even in restaurants
Australian canine companions are discouraged from darkening the doorways of local businesses
no matter how pretty they are
so it was a chance for me to discover that town through
a different set of eyes
and accompanied by a different set of feet.
there's an evil local weed called caltrop
which has horrible and vicious spikes and is unavoidable in several places.
i had to carry the Kubblet across several infested areas to avoid having her paws stabbed
we walked to the big river
met some other pups
and there was a splendid romp
(which was too much fun to be part of to waste time messing with a camera)
sat in the shade under one of the bridges for which the town is named
and watched corellas pretending to be pigeons
and also showing off by performing acrobatics and hanging upside down
and then went back for another swim
wandering about aimlessly
making the odd drawing
playing with feathers and bark
and an enthusiastic pup
was rather fun
(though i had a pile of work waiting at home)
and now i had better get on with it

"A company that wants to be "cool" and "agile", but ends up just being another Initech. "
- Comp & Benefits

- Career Opportunities
I have been working at CSG International
Casual work environment. Flexible on work schedules. Goal-based work attitude. The people are generally very nice to work with. The general attitude and corporate climate is positive. Most people are competent at their job. The computer policy is liberal, that is, things are not so locked-down you can't do your job. But really, the casual dress is the best thing.
Very lethargic in innovating and developing new products. Not open to new ideas and improvements in business products and processes. Close-minded. Very bureaucratic. Most of the time, it seems like ideas are solicited, but then are tossed aside due to lack of support from management.
The senior management talks big regarding "innovation" and "performance", but is not supportive of bottom-up ideas that could save the company money and increase revenue. I would recommend supporting experimenting with alternative hardware and software systems that aren't IBM.

I have been working at CSG International full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
Decent salaries, good potential in its business, theoretically good employee processes in place (10% of which is actually followed?).Cons
Very large pool of disengaged managers, with little to no connection to the actual product development taking place. This very much contributes to a stalemate feeling, and the sense of no creativity, going nowhere. There is a very large discrepancy between the base US business and the acquired companies - with no end in sight. Impossible as an employee to integrate into the main business, or to get any respect/attention. Certain products are totally in free fall, with no visible strategy for years.
Poor job stability, with frequent and large layoffs.
There has been a very big change in work culture into the negative after being acquired by CSG - from creative and hip to nobody cares and bloated. Really sad story.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Seriously reduce waste from all the administrative overhead. Engage in what employees do daily instead - analysts, developers, testers, etc. There are so many resources plowed into activities that result in nothing markedly beneficial to the company. Stop building an insecure environment where nobody cares in the end.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO
