Welcome to the place where big-thinking, hard-working, comprehensive branding and marketing solutions are built. Welcome to Burrisland.
In 1961, President John F. Kennedy said to the American people: "We choose to go to the moon … not because it is easy, but because it is hard. I believe this nation should commit itself to landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth by the end of this decade."
In Burrisland, a moonshot is a glimpse at what you envision beyond what you now know, beyond what is today, tomorrow and next week and off into the future. It's a point you can see but you don't know exactly how you're going to get there, yet you believe passionately and know in your heart you want to reach it some day.
A moonshot isn't a long shot. It's a glimpse at the truth for your brand and your company.
We strive to help our clients see what's possible, then we work like crazy to get you there.
When President Kennedy said America would put a man on the moon, most believed him. We didn't know—not exactly, anyway—how we'd do it but we had faith in his vision and many made it their vision as well.
Eight years later, on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong, the commander of Apollo 11, was the first man to walk on the surface of the moon, reaching the goal with a few months to spare.

Flight crews have a very difficult job, and they all need to have some qualification, at least a certificate in aviation. This is often only the beginning, as they will then need to go on to further types of qualification, including diplomas or even degrees. What is important is the early stages, where gaining the right types of certificate, going up the levels carefully, ensures that the student covers every aspect of aviation knowledge and learning. In studying each of the certificates from the start, students can build up a level of competency which ensures that they know exactly what they are doing.
In Australia, there are high standards about the skills expected of those working in the aviation industry, and this is why there is such a high demand on teaching even the basics. Students must ensure that they have learned all the skills by working through each certificate in education, starting with the first. At this level, the students will learn skill levels such as cleaning areas such as food handling stations, securing cargo areas, and cleaning facilities for the use of passengers. These skills will then lead on to the next certificate.
For flight crews, the next certificate will include learning flight component details. This can include subjects such as serving customers on aircraft, including advice, managing in-flight cuisine and retail services, and helping passengers to arrive and depart. There may also be special sessions on helping passengers who have special needs, and securing baggage and cargo into the aircraft. These qualifications are starting to teach the student how to handle a flight, and how to manage the basic service skills they will need when they are working on board a plane.
Level III of the certificate in aviation is designed to carry on the work of the last qualification, and help students to gain more experience. This certificate will start to introduce the skills necessary to handling difficult flights, including responding to emergencies and abnormal events within the aircraft. Students will also learn the essential skills of keeping people safe within the plane, and using their knowledge to provide the passengers with a good experience when flying. For airlines which offer a first class service, flight crew will also be expected to know how to handle this area of the airplane, and how to provide food and drink, and even pour wine.
Working on these qualifications online can help a student to learn in a way which seems most appropriate to them. They might consider, for example, taking more time to learn one aspect of the course (perhaps the emergency training, for example), while feeling happy to go quickly through other parts. Learning online allows future aviation staff to do just this, learning at their own pace to get exactly what they need from the lessons. Universities and taught courses cannot provide this, but learning online can, and can still give a good, fully accredited qualification at the end of the course.

I have a Core I7 265, 12GB DDR3, PS3 250GB, 82" Mitsubishi, Windows 7 Pro x64.
My PMS used to work perfectly until I moved and set up the new TV and new Windows install. My port 5001 opens fine, added video directories are fine and my PS3 shows up as renderer after starting PMS, PMS shows up in my PS3 but when attempting to start it, using version 1.54 (or later!), I now get the Error 2006 DLNS error message before it tells me there 'are no titles'. I don't know whats wrong or how to fix it.
Please forgive my forgetting to add info I'm not providing, if that's the case, but I've been searching through the forum all night long trying to find out whats wrong! OH! I also (on the PMS log) get a Java heap error.
I've used PMS for many years now. It's made my life INFINITELY better, as I'm disabled and unable to work. TV is all I have! I have about a terabyte of movies/TV shows/(the complete Abbott and Costello and complete MST3K).
Thank you for your help. My router is a Netgear DN3200. It's been awesome since I've used it..
Again, thanks. You guys rock!

Numbers from 2011 show that Mississippi dropped from the 7th to 20th deadliest state in terms of alcohol related fatalities, and the major factor in dropping those rates is the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign. With a record of success, law enforcement officials are trying to advise the public so that those numbers continue to decline.
Corporal Andy West, public affairs officer with Mississippi Highway Patrol Troop H, says, "We want to be more proactive as opposed to reactive like normally is the role of a law enforcement officer. What we're asking the public to do is if you drink, don't drive. Make proper arrangements before you drink. Get a designated driver. We're asking the public to assist us in dropping our fatality rates."
Lauderdale County averages three to five DUI deaths per year, and this year alone, the number of those being arrested for driving under the influence is up from last year.
Sheriff Billy Sollie of the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Department tell us, "We recognize this is one of the deadliest weekends approaching cause it is the end of the summer. Our DUI numbers this year are up dramatically. We want to remind the general public that if you do choose drink, have someone drive you home. A taxi cab is a lot cheaper than a DUI fine."
Law enforcement officers will be out in full force trying to make sure everyone has a safe holiday, but they need all of us to do our parts as well.
"Typically Labor Day is one of the most traveled holidays we have. It's the last holiday of the summer," Corporal West says. "Everybody wants to enjoy the last holiday. We're not promoting and telling people don't enjoy your holiday, don't have a good time, we're just asking that you do it responsibly."
The campaign continues through September 3.

Emergence Capital Sees Google Glass Enterprise Apps As Good Bet
Emergence Capital Partners and DCM recently co-led a $3.2 million funding round for a company whose sole mission is building applications for Google Glass, the Internet-enabled eyewear unveiled two years ago by Google Inc.
The company that raised that funding, Augmedix Inc., is the only known example of a "Glass-only" developer raising funding from institutional venture firms, said Kevin Spain, the general partner at Emergence who spearheaded the deal.
Glass—which is not yet mass-produced—has gotten mixed reviews from the public, and a much more tepid response from developers than other mobile gadgets like the iPhone and iPad have attracted.
So why invest in applications for a product that—at least for now—is not in high demand?
According to Mr. Spain, that demand is beginning to grow. It will grow especially strong, he said, in industries like health care and manufacturing, where workers have never before had access to the digital world while they are actually working. Mr. Spain talked to Venture Capital Dispatch about Google Glass.
Q: When you brought Augmedix to the other partners at your firm, and to other people, was there skepticism about this deal?
There's always a burden of proof involved. Some people said in the beginning that they were not so sure. Every great investment takes this path. You say, 'Is this real?' You ask, 'Can this really work?' We went out and talked to people in health care [the sector Augmedix is targeting] and we asked about the pain points. Health-care companies, insurers, doctors–we talked to a lot of people and learned that data entry is a major pain point.
Q: How so?
Doctors can only spend around 70% to 80% of their time treating patients, and all the rest is entering data in electronic medical records. Data entry is eating up a huge percentage of their time, and it's creating dissatisfaction. It's also a huge cost to hospitals. Google Glass has been shown to have a major impact on reducing this data-entry time. A platform like this really can impact business. Some industries can really experience a very high return-on-investment. It's really just a part of the bigger trend of mobile tech.
Q: So what can Glass do that other mobile tech cannot?
It's all about moving technology into industries where workers so far have not had access to a computer on a job site while they are doing their work. It's about bringing tech to new arenas where it hasn't been, like manufacturing or health care. Three billion people in the world work. Only 20% are information workers. The other 80% still work, but have no access to business applications while they work. Glass can be transformative for those workers.
Q: What's it going to take for Glass to become widespread in workplaces?
Glass is still in beta, it's almost still a prototype. It costs $1,500, and there aren't even that many devices out there. It's still early days. What needs to happen is we need to get the "virtuous cycle" going. When developers see more of a footprint, they begin developing. That's what happened with the iPhone. When there are more apps, more people want to buy it. That's the cycle. Right now everything is sort of in pilot-testing mode. More businesses just need to understand the value proposition. The price needs to come down. The form factor needs to be less intrusive. We need killer apps, so developers need to see that breadth, that footprint.
Q: Will Glass catch on as a consumer product?
I never say never. A lot of stuff still needs to happen.

NY man who lost leg in crucifix mishap sues church

NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — A trial has been scheduled for early next year in the lawsuit filed against an upstate New York church by a man whose leg had to be amputated after a 600-pound crucifix fell on him.
Attorney Kevin Kitson of White Plains tells The Associated Press that the case of his client, David Jimenez (hih-MAN'-ez ), is scheduled for trial in January in an Orange County court.
Kitson says Jimenez prayed to the crucifix outside St. Patrick's Church in Newburgh after his wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. When she recovered, he showed his thanks by volunteering to clean the cross.
In May 2010, the crucifix fell on him, crushing his right leg. It was later amputated.
He's suing the church for $3 million.
The church says it's not liable for the accident.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Saint Mary's College men's basketball team held off a furious late rally by USF to post a 67-63 win Wednesday at War Memorial Gymnasium.
The Gaels had to sweat out the final minute but ultimately earned their 16th straight victory over their longtime rival.
An Australian guard was responsible for some of Saint Mary's biggest plays down the stretch. And it wasn't Matthew Dellavedova.
On an off-night for the Aussie Olympian, Jorden Page picked up the scoring load to lead Saint Mary's to its sixth consecutive victory in West Coast Conference play. The junior from Queensland contributed 19 points -- perhaps none bigger than his two free throws with four seconds left that made it a four-point game.
"He played well, and we rolled with him," Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett said of Page. "He's a momentum player. He can get on a roll. ... I told him yesterday at practice, 'You're playing well. Come on, let's get on a roll.' "
Page finished with his second-highest point total of the season after scoring just 10 total points in Saint Mary's previous six games.
Early on, it appeared Saint Mary's (18-4, 7-1 WCC) would easily continue its recent dominance over USF (9-13, 2-7) with defense and rebounding. The Gaels got off to a quick start and led 37-23 at halftime.
But USF's Tim Derksen made for a tense finish when he was fouled while converting a layup with 10 seconds left. Derksen made the free throw, and the Gaels' lead stood at 65-63. Page's free throws then sealed the deal.
"We had a decent lead down the stretch with about three minutes to go, then we let them have easy buckets," Saint Mary's guard Stephen Holt said. "We didn't knock down shots and had a couple turnovers. But at the end of the day a road win is a road win, so we're happy about that."
The Gaels never trailed and led by as many as 16 in the second half before USF's late comeback.
"We played well, but in the last five or six minutes we didn't defend as well as we needed to," Bennett said.
Brad Waldow added 13 points and eight rebounds for the Gaels, while Holt and Mitchell Young just missed double-doubles. Holt, a junior guard, pulled down 14 boards to lead Saint Mary's to a 44-22 rebounding advantage. He also scored nine points.
Young had nine points and nine rebounds.
Cody Doolin connected on his first four attempts from beyond the arc and led USF with 16 points.
Last year the Gaels clinched the outright WCC championship on the Dons' floor. This year's win keeps them in second place in the conference standings behind Gonzaga.
