Small / Medium-sized agencies
small and medium-sized agencies are unique. ecolane understands the challenges they face and caters to their specific needs and processes.
Small and medium-sized transit agencies run differently than large agencies. From budgets and spending to staffing and maintenance, small/medium agencies can find themselves in a difficult position when it comes to ensuring efficiency across their operations. The stakes could not be higher and this is where Ecolane's DRT platform sets itself apart.
Flexible pricing & an operational Guarantee
Financial hurdles are a part of transit and we understand this all too well. In response to that challenge, Ecolane has developed pricing options that bring the capabilities of our software into the hands of all the agencies that need it. Ecolane's "Guarantee Offer", specifically created to service the needs of small to mid-sized agencies, takes the pain out of choosing a solution and ensures that what our customers expect is what our customers get. It is us putting our money where our mouth is and you won't find this kind of offer anywhere else in the industry.
Intelligent demand-response management software
Scheduling and dispatching headaches used to be the rule, not the exception. Ecolane's DRT platform has made them obsolete with a turn-key, secure, web-based software package, easily and quickly accessed via modern web browsers. The DRT platform allows for schedule optimizations in real-time, and provides multiple operational advantages to small and medium transit agencies, including:
Industry-Leading Trip Booking And Reservation Management System
Rider and Customer Experience Extensions
Fleet Management and Safety Features
Intelligent Operations Management
Financial Operations Management
Broker / Provider Integration
Professional Support and Services
System Security Management

Policies and procedures define your organisation. They set out clearly they way you act and the things that you do – or at least they should.
Unfortunately for many businesses, these documents sit on the shelf and are only ever opened by auditors. There is often a vast gulf between real world work practices and what has been written.
When writing policy and procedure, Think-write
- links everyday work tasks to the organisation's purpose
- expresses ideas in plain language
- involves the people who actually do the work.
Processes for virtualised IT infrastructure environments
IAG developed an enhanced operating model for a transformed IT delivery strategy, taking took advantage of emerging cloud computing resources. Think-write helped define and documented the new model, including an interactive process diagram for quick access to information.
Online help system for insurance claim administration
Think-write redeveloped IAG's online help system to allow claims administrators to quickly access information and process claims consistently and in accord with company guidelines.
Translating legislation into administrative processes
The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (1999) and associated regulations specifies how development applications are assessed. Think-write worked with the responsible department to document procedures to administer this Act.
Defining Standard Operating Procedures in manufacturing and local government
A problem many organisations have is that workers complete tasks in slightly different ways, each one having a different impact on product quality. Defining an agreed way of working helps reduce variation. Procedures need to include safety requirements, performance specifications and work steps, along with thinking guidelines for workers to apply in ambiguous or new situations.
Converting complex safety standards into readable summaries
All workers needed to know about new safety standards, but the standards developed were long, wordy and difficult to read for many workers. Think-write developed easy to read summaries to introduce workers to the requirements in an attractive way.See sample safety summary.

Trace gives you instant access to all communication surrounding a patient, available in a single location. Records can be used to prevent and overturn denials, increase collections, improve productivity and provide better service to patients and physicians
Trace puts you back in control. Because you have the information you need to take charge. Since Trace captures all communication and places everything in a searchable database, it can eliminate problems with mismatched authorizations, claim denials, misplaced records, patient out-of-pocket expenses and other issues that can add up to millions of dollars each year. For one hospital, Trace helped overturn $400,000 in denials, plus prevented another $900,000 in denials over the course of a single year. In another case, Trace helped reduce denied claims from over $700,000 to less than $25,000 per year.
Instead of communication working against you, Trace makes it work for you by creating an organized way to collect and retrieve information as you need it. This gives you the ability to improve patient care in a number of ways.
Trace collects patient information via voice, fax and electronic media. So if a doctor faxes a patient order in, it's accessible by everyone involved in patient care, and it can be forwarded electronically, without the need for extra paperwork or delays. Having information available in one place can also dramatically speed up processes, making things more convenient for the patient and saving the hospital time and money.
For example, in one case, Trace allowed a hospital to reduce the time necessary for Medicaid notification of admission from over an hour to just five minutes.
Faster response throughout the care chain often means that physicians and the hospital can work together more closely to assess the approved level of care and facilitate a safe and timely discharge.
Trace can provide a facility with a powerful tool for managing compliance. With all patient records available in one interface, it's a simple process to retrieve information and provide the documentation necessary to show your hospital is in compliance. Trace also is an effective way to train personnel to be consistent in their record keeping so that it's easier to remain in compliance.
The Trace platform is designed with HIPAA/HITECH compliance in view. Protocols throughout the platform secure the flow of data from its capture, during its use and dissemination, through its storage and final destruction. Further, we developed our product training and documentation to assist our users in maximizing the Trace security features. Additionally, the Trace platform readily incorporates into an entity's existing physical and technical security program, making it easier for our clients' to comply with their own internal HIPAA/HITECH specifications.
Trace can be used in individual departments of the hospital or facility-wide. In fact, Trace benefits expand the more the system is used.
In Pre-Registration, Trace can document insurance benefits and eligibility, capture patient out-of-pocket information, and record registration instructions should they be needed later.
In Scheduling, Trace establishes a central intake for physician orders, and electronically routes and stores scheduling requests. This eliminates paper storage and misplaced faxes.
In Patient Access, Trace records insurance authorization calls and documents online benefits and eligibility. It also captures fax notifications, so all information is in one place.
For Case Management, Trace backs up daily encounters with insurance companies, patients and physicians, and makes it simple to resolve billing disputes, prevent and overturn denials. Trace also coordinates the hand-off of care to outside facilities, and establishes a record of your compliance with critical standards.
In your Business Office, Trace makes it simple to reference communication records to prevent and overturn denials. Trace also reduces the administrative cost of appeals, and can dramatically reduce rework and phone tag between departments.
Log in securely from any computer (even from home). Review audio of phone calls, faxes and electronic documents. Email or fax any document that you need to. Automatically import and export records to other hospital systems. Confirm actions and notify others of further action.
What used to take hours can now be done in minutes, because you're not having to chase information from person to person, or system to system. Trace puts everything at your fingertips, and you can move quickly (and properly) to help create the best possible patient care.
Trace is easy to learn, and we have trainers and online modules to help all your people get up and running. Our support team is second-to-none as well—should you have a question or a problem, we'll move promptly to get it resolved.

Every year at this time I think "my god that was a crazy busy year, next year will be so much lighter," and since it's an annual thought, that means it's never actually a lighter year. This year was one of the busiest I've ever had. It was a blessing of projects and artistic challenges. Whether I was out of my comfort zone performing for the first time in 30 years or accepting a leadership role in an established theatre company or more familiar ground with directing staged readings for ReproRights and PCSF, the year has been full of intense experiences and a lot of laughter and delight with new creative relationships around every corner.

So my theatre life continues to be full and sometimes overcommitted, but always in flux and always stretching and growing.
Sheherezade's Last Tales
I can hardly believe that we are at the last weekend for the last Sheherezade! I can hardly believe that we are at the last weekend for the last Sheherezade! It's been 9 years since I was involved the first time with this annual short play festival. I fell in love with it and it's been a passion project for me since 2009 and something that I've seen grow from a staged reading of 12 short plays keyed to A Year in Review theme to a little-engine-that-could, short run, off-book production to what has become a critically well received, award nominated, fully designed and staged production. 12366414_10153775318979464_4678496371080547342_n SPARSE PUBIC HAIR by Lorraine Midanik dir by Laylah Muran de Assereto, Choreographed by Wesley Cayabyab with Rick Homan and Miyoko Sakatani | Sheherezade's Last Tales | Photo (c) Colin Hussey When I stepped down from producing at the beginning of the year, I thought I was saying goodbye to the show, and it broke my heart. I'd made a proposal for transforming it into something else before I stepped down and really wasn't sure where it was going to go. I felt it was time to mix it up; 14 years with the same general concept seemed long enough. When Bridgette Dutta Portman and Jerome Gentes (co-producers) approached me about directing and let me know that it was in deed going to be the last in this format, I was excited to have a chance to stay involved and send this festival off one last time. It's been a completely different experience being the director and only peripherally involved in other aspects of the show. The last time I directed, I was also producing, promoting, running front of house, (and got pneumonia) and felt that this lack of single focus was ultimately a disservice to the cast and myself. It was well received and I'm proud of the work we did, but know that it could have been less difficult for everyone. Being able to walk into the rehearsal room, collaborate with these fantastic actors and stay focused on directing alone felt like a luxury. Collaboration has been a big part of the show this year. Working with Bridgette and Jerome through their first outing as producers. Spending time with my fellow-director Adam L Sussman (who directed the other four plays) to make sure we had a show that hung together as a whole aesthetically, was a great experience. I learned a lot from him and hope to get an opportunity to collaborate again in the future. "Highly recommend spending a delightful evening watching Sheherezade's Last Tales at the Exit Theatre in SF. Timely, funny, poignant short plays by locals, well acted…" — Sheila Koren As soon as I knew that one of the plays was going to require a segment of ballroom dancing I was excited to reach out to Wesley Cayabyab and work with him in a completely new light as well. After years in the trenches producing the show and many others with Wily West it was great to get to play together in this completely creative way. His choreography makes that section of the play funny and sweet in a way I would never have been able to pull off as gracefully. The playwrights have all been great to work with and have been so supportive of the show, receptive to the inevitable "hey maybe if we tweak this a bit" feedback that comes out of the rehearsal room, and are in general just beautiful humans to be in cohoots with. I loved bouncing ideas around with Genevieve on props and costumes, especially with STUFF WE KEEP and RORSCHACH TEST. Where SPARSE has movement and dance, STUFF has props and ... stuff that drives action and provides cover for the things we don't say. "I had a great time last night watching these wonderful plays. Each one had so much to offer and each was a masterfully constructed world. It felt so good on my brain." — Sara Judge I'm thrilled that we've received such a positive response and had a lovely review come out of opening weekend and are a TBA Recommended production.
Today we kick off the writing for I SAW IT and ZERO HOUR. As I write this, Jennifer is working on sending us our first assignments - or subtopics - which will be what we focus on for the first week. The goal is to write as many vignettes or monologues using the theme (aftermath … Continue reading Ready…set…go!
Quiet Memory
Here I am for the first time in nearly 20 years at this place that I loved as a kid. I spent so much time here writing, reading, and otherwise being someplace quiet and surrounded by books. I had glamorous ideas of my future writer's life and for whatever reason, I imagined hours spent in libraries - when I wasn't in the custom-made writer's den/cabin I'd of course have somewhere, with a giant weeping willow outside and nearby brook. I'm a little surprised to remember now that I had that image of writing in libraries, since in my adult writing life I don't think it's even occurred to me to go to a library to write.
I'm excited to be able to announce that I'll be participating in another collaborative writing project with Wily West. This time Wily West undertakes two shows that will run in rep this summer and will be written by 9 playwrights.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Idenix Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: IDIX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies to treat hepatitis C, exploded higher by as much as 235% after rival Merck (NYSE:MRK) agreed to buy the company for $3.85 billion.
So what: Under the terms of the deal, Merck will acquire Idenix for $24.50 per share in cash, a 239% premium to its closing value on Friday, in order to diversify its own hepatitis C development pipeline and hopefully catch a piece of the hepatitis C treatment market. According to Merck Research Laboratories President Roger Perimutter, Idenix's nucleoside/nucleotide chemistry and prodrug technologies should wind up complementing Merck's existing programs nicely. The board of directors of both companies have approved the deal with the transaction expected to close in the third quarter. Following the announcement research firm R.W. Baird upgraded Idenix to "outperform" from "neutral" -- a smooth move after its 230% run higher and all the more reason to ignore analyst ratings as largely unimportant to our investing thesis.
Now what: I don't say this lightly, but in my opinion, based on the data and facts we have in front of us right now, this might be one of the worst deals I've ever seen. Now understand that Idenix could deliver on samatasvir, its NS5A inhibitor, or its two other nucleotide prodrugs (IDX21437 and IDX21459), which would make this deal very much worth Merck's while. However, historically speaking, Idenix has one of the worst track records among all biotechs.
In 2010, Idenix had its then-lead compounds IDX184 and IDX320 placed on clinical hold by the Food and Drug Administration. Following this hold IDX184 continued on while IDX320 wound up be discontinued. In 2012, IDX184 was placed on clinical hold a second time along with IDX19368 following the death of a patient in Bristol-Myers Squibb's (NYSE:BMY) study involving BMS-986094 (the drug it acquired when it bought Inhibitex). Because Idenix's investigational drugs worked along the same pathway as Bristol's, the FDA decided to exercise caution. Long story short, both IDX184 and IDX19368 would be scrapped shortly thereafter. Finally, last year the FDA placed a clinical hold on IDX20963 until it delivered preclinical safety data to the regulatory agency. That's four clinical holds in four years folks (or five if you count IDX184 twice), aptly giving it the name of the "most unlucky biotech in the world" according to Foolish biotech specialist Brian Orelli.
The price paid for Idenix's inability to successfully get a drug into late-stage trials -- $3.85 billion -- is simply unfathomable, especially when you consider that Gilead Sciences already brought its blockbuster Sovaldi to market with sustained virologic response rates of 90% or better in most cases, and AbbVie's direct-acting antiviral, also capable of 90%-plus SVRs, is a likely candidate for approval perhaps before the end of this year. In a best-case scenario, Merck might bring a new therapy to market two years from now, but will there be any piece of the pie left to share by then? I'm not so sure.

A Constant Frustration of Mine. A Fat Society
Just as the lawmakers worldwide are failing to curb lawlessness in all aspects of society which shows that the current methods being used to get on top of the lawbreakers is simply not working as there is more crimes committed each and every day now than ever before, so too, are we losing the battle of society becoming more and more fat and less fit every day.
It seems not a lot is being learned from this as there are more diet and how to eat books today than ever before, yet we are the fattest we have ever been!
One major issue I have with this approach, (other than the obvious in that it is quite simply, not working), is that the assumption is being made that the people they are directing their book towards is already fat.
We are not born fat!
What about the new children of today that in 15 years or so will join those people and themselves be too fat for good health? Are they fat now? NO! What is it, then that happens between when they are born, not fat and when they can make the choice to eat too much and do too little?
The books that need to be written and adhered to for the entirety of our lives is the book with information on how not to get fat in the first place, not how to lose fat now!
It has almost got to the stage that we need to put all resources into educating new parents on how to show their new born and yet to born children how to structure their eating and exercise regime into something that is totally sustainable for the entirety of their lives.
I feel too much time, energy and money is expended on the already lost causes in our society that make a choice to consume the incorrect food 4-5 times per day for their entire adult lives.
IE: assuming that a person eats 5 times per day for at least 50 years that they make the choice and decision of what and when to eat they will choose to eat what they do so in excess of 91000 times. That is at least 91000 times you have made the incorrect choice by your body.
I am unsure that with the majority of these people that they actually really want to lose the excesses that they are adding to each day otherwise they would do something about it. Let's face it 4-5 times per day they could actually say to themselves "no I won't have that to eat, it is no good for me so I will eat some food instead" but they don't.
Yes this frustrates me and for all of the successes I have had over the years, many of these same people seem more comfortable eating the way that made them fat in the first place and return back to that when I stop scrutinising them.
It is selfishness and plain laziness that is the cause of most of these over fat and under fit problems I see every day and you all see every time you see other people because I would say now that less than 10%of our population fall into the category of being of ideal fat level and maintaining a fitness level that is acceceptable to sustain a long and healthy life.
You only get 1 body each life so you owe it to look after it; after all, you are the only one who can.
The real reality is that almost everything we as a race need to nutritionally could be fitted on to 1 page in any of those books. Fact is if we put that 1 page into a book of 250 pages and repeated the same page 250 times. People may just about get it by the time they get to the end.
Got something to say?


text: For week 13 I chose artwork from the gallery by Jeff Dula's. It was very pretty and it had a look to it that would brighting up my day. I loved everything about this artwork! The colors reflected off very well. It was out of two art pieces that I wanted to chose from and this was the finally one I decided on. The art work needed to be somewhere else thats how pretty it was and how much I enjoyed it. ? When reading the artist statement about the art on the picture, what I thought about it did not change because I liked it anyway. The bright colors were me because thats what I like. I enjoyed this art a lot, I would consider it one of my favorites.

I'd like you to join me, in starting with this pledge to allegiance for peace:
I promise, from this day on, to try to contribute to peace on this planet.
I choose to live my life in a peaceful way, taking responsibility for my choices, and contributing to the cause of peace in any way I can.
I choose to see people's needs and feelings, and to use language that contributes to life, rather than creating enemy images or dehumanising my brothers and sisters.
I do this because I know the huge impact just one (seemingly) small person like me, can have on other peoples' lives.
When I think of all the people I will meet during my lifetime, I believe that if just a handful are touched by my peaceful ways, then I will have helped to contribute to a better life for those in the future, and I will know that mine was a life well-lived.
I want to stand for something. I want to stand for peace.
Maybe if enough of us say this and act upon it, maybe one day we will have world peace.
Please share if you believe in this, too.

Introducing Wade N Water
Airwell has always had a number of hard working agents and representatives across Australia providing Airwell pumping solutions to farmers in a variety of different situations and applications. Wade Wilson has just established his own business Wade N Water after 12 years working in the irrigation and water industry. Airwell would like to introduce Wade and his company Wade N Water as an Airwell supported seller.
Wade grew up in Dungowan NSW on a 270 acre farm running pigs, cattle, irrigated lucerne and pastures. He always been around irrigation and water supplies to stock and domestic situations, and has always been passionate about the water industry.
After a period of time working as a metal fabricator and in the roofing industry Wade landed his dream job with a local irrigation firm in Tamworth in 2002. Wade said that "this is where I learned more than I thought I would ever learn about water supplies and irrigation, a far cry from the family farm where we always had water a plenty". Wade soon found out that not too many others in the area were as fortunate as he was on the family farm not only with the quantity of water but quality as well.
Wade began his time learning under several experienced salesman and installers before moving onto installing small systems ranging from domestic irrigation systems and house pumps to bore pumps, larger irrigation pumps, to then quoting and managing small projects building a good relationship with clients and suppliers.
After eight years Wade moved onto another irrigation firm with more responsibility of sales and managing and installing larger projects. This included stock watering systems, bore pumps (both electric and solar), irrigation and pivot supply work and large poly butt welding projects. During this time Wade started to gain knowledge of the Airwell pump system and thanks to Tom Sedgwick from Airwell has learnt his way around these pumping systems and their application in a wide number of situations.
After four and a half years Wade considered getting out of the industry until a friend talked him into starting his own business "Wade N Water" in mid-2014, selling and servicing irrigation and stock water pumps and supply systems. "I have teamed up with Donbear (Donald Barwick) who also has a sound knowledge of irrigation and stock water supplies from growing up on his family farm in Loomberah NSW, we are very pleased to have Airwell on board with our new venture and we are looking forward to building a prosperous working relationship," said Wade.
Airwell is also glad to have Wade supporting our products and look forward to working with him in his new endeavour. "Wade N Water" services the Tamworth and Northern NSW regions. To get in contact with Wade call 0427315967 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

A native of Jacksonville, King studied engineering at the University of Florida before entering the Cooper Union Art School. Additional studies at the Accademia dei Belli Arte in Rome, made possible by a Fulbright grant, and at the Central School in London in 1952 completed King's formal artistic training. Since then King has taught intermittently at the Brooklyn Museum School, the University of California at Berkeley, the Art Students League, the University of Pennsylvania, and various branches of the State University of New York. A sculptor who works in materials as diverse as vinyl and bronze, King uses long-legged, lanky male figures to explore human foible and pose. Body type and scale provide a never-ending source of formal and thematic richness, and through witty choreography, King's figures leer, ponder, share, love, and otherwise exemplify the emotions, drama, and humor of everyday life.
Virginia M. Mecklenburg Modern American Realism: The Sara Roby Foundation Collection (Washington, D.C.: Smithsonian Institution Press for the National Museum of American Art, 1987)
As a child, William King built model airplanes and carved cities out of coral with a screwdriver "chisel" and a hammer "mallet" (William King: Forty Years of Work in Wood, 1994). He briefly studied engineering at the University of Florida before enrolling in the architecture program at the Cooper Union Art School. During his first year at Cooper Union, King was impressed by the steel sculptures of David Smith and promised to make a similar piece for an attractive female classmate. He began selling works to friends and fellow students and committed himself to a career in sculpture. King constructs his pieces from a variety of materials, ranging from burlap to wood to aluminum. He draws inspiration from daily life, and his tall, elongated figures imitate everyday human gestures, poking fun at human behavior.

Bush Airport — originally called Houston Intercontinental Airport when it opened in June 1969 — first opened with two terminals, A and B. Both terminal A and B were designed as circular modules with four "flight stations," and, in the late 1990's and early 2000's, Terminal A's north and south concourses were remodeled into linear concourses. In recent years, the airport added a new Terminal B South Concourse and C North Terminal.
Join us as we take a look back at the events that shaped the development and success of IAH.
Tickets are $10 or FREE for Members.
Join the WWII Flying Fortress Texas Raiders for a Wings Over Houston weekend, presented by the Commemorative Air Force. Get ready for the big airshow with a flight on the iconic bomber on Friday, October 18, then see her fly in performance at Wings Over Houston Airshow at Ellington Airport on Saturday and Sunday, October 19 and 20.
Flights on October 18 will depart from the classic 1940 Air Terminal Museum at Hobby Airport, so a flight on Texas Raiders that day can be combined with a tour of the museum, which features vintage displays from the 1940's and 50's, when the Air Terminal was the first and only commercial airport in Houston.
A flight on Texas Raiders out of the Air Terminal Museum on Friday is a great way to warm up for the big Wings Over Houston Airshow Saturday and Sunday. The airshow features the US Navy Blue Angels demonstration team and the Commemorative Air Force performance team TORA TORA TORA, which includes the B-7 Texas Raiders and the replica Japanese Zeros re-enacting the attack on Pearl Harbor.
If you're coming to Houston for the Wings Over Houston Airshow, Friday October 18 will be the only opportunity to fly with Texas Raiders or our Twin Beech, Little Raider, that weekend, so sign up now for one of the limited number of flights at the 1940 Air Terminal Museum at Hobby Airport, 8325 Travelair Street, Houston, Texas. Flights start at $475 for the B-17 and $100 for the Twin Beech.
For more information about the airshow visit www.WingsOverHouston.com
During the SMH festival, Pitch and Roll fills The Hangar at the 1940 Air Terminal Museum at Hobby Airport. This exhibition introduces contemporary sculptures positioned side by side with classic airplanes. The exhibit intimately connects the art to human industry and technological prowess. "Hangar" artists responded to this challenge by creating works of outsize scale and unique diversity that hold their own against the fabulous flying machines.
Opening reception is on Saturday, October 19 from 6 to 9 pm. The exhibit will be on display from October 19 – November 30 so come by and see it! The opening reception event is FREE and open to the public. Donations are welcome and encouraged.

Patrick Swayze has died after a two-year battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57.
What is your favourite Swayze fillum?
- Roadhouse
- Point Break
« WRONG WITH A CAPITAL B | Main | THE INVISIBLEST OF BRITISH »
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
Red Dawn
Point Break - it's got Keanu, and Busey and SURFIN too ...
"In what will go down as Patrick Swayze's Finest-Moment-on-film, he plays the adrenalin guru Bodhi with glaze-eyed and silver tongued expertise, and manages to pull off, with accomplishment, the very difficult assignment of being both sane and insane."
Matt: I thought of Red Dawn later.
BB: Something for ya.
Deadheat. Both awesome. Btw, a mate said just the other day that he has never seen Ghost. I thought he was kidding.
Question though, how many legitimate film stars have had decent hit songs? I'm not talking about pop stars that have been in some crap Z-grade fillum, but a real bonafide star having a good song. Judy Garland perhaps. Bing Crosby and Sinatra maybe?
Swayze sung "She's Like The Wind" which was a pretty big hit when Dirty Dancing came out.
Ewen McGregor and Nicole Kidman "Come What May".
Not saying they were decent, but definitely hits.
Yeah Swayze with that song prompted me to ask the question. Forgot about the Moulin Rouge song, probably up there. Not too many others I would have thought. Was Barbara Streisand movies or music first?
Oh and Mark Wahlberg I guess was a crap singer who became a decent actor.
O.J Simpson.
Sorry, I thought you wrote sinner.
Mark Wahlberg was a rapper, not a singer. I think you're saying rap is crap? ;)
As far as CHICK FLICKS go, Ghost would be one of the best ones I've seen.
You seen a lot of chick flicks, Biggy?
I reckon I've seen maybe 3 or 4. Does Ladyhawke count?
Er. That last one was me and I, um, accidentally used my Mum's login details.
The tagline for Ladyhawke: CURSED FOR ETERNITY. No power on Earth can make me watch it.

The conger eel - the beast of the seas
The myth of the conger eel has excited the deep sea angler for decades, not just on Lyme Regis boat trips but on any boat trip taken around the British Isles. The reason is simple. Apart from the shark, the conger is the biggest fish any angler has a good chance of catching. The abundance of wrecks that lie around this country form the perfect lair for a conger to live happily with other congers. Here there is plenty of food and shelter.
I have caught many, many congers over the years on my Lyme Regis boat trips or rather my anglers have. The biggest I have ever had to land weighed a very impressive 72lbs. It took twenty minutes for the angler to bring the fish up to the surface from the wreck where it had probably ruled the roost for many years.
When any conger is brought on board a boat everyone has to be very careful as an angry conger can be a very dangerous beast and should be dispatched quickly before someone gets badly bitten. We do catch a conger eel from time to time on our Lyme Regis boat trips on the morning deep sea fishing trip from Lyme Regis harbour but usually they manage to bite through the line as we are more geared up for bream, pollack, whiting, dog fish and bull huss. We need a few more ' fierce' fish as the reputation of the conger means many anglers will always fancy their chances of catching the beast of the seas.
For many years The Angling Times offered a reward of £1000 for the first conger eel that weighed over 100lbs and in 1976 Robin Potter landed a huge conger weighing 109lbs. 6oz.! Have a look at the British Conger Club website for lots of photos of the monsters that have been caught since. The record conger at the moment was caught by Vic Evans on his boat Sea Spray from Brixham in Devon weighing a mighty 133lbs!

Lovely salad, Always looking for new ideas for chickpeas. I like the idea of the sherry vinegar with the smoked paprika. Very Spanish. Will try this.
Pie with Salad, of course you can! Chickpea, Cherry Tomato & Rocket Salad
Prep Time:10 mins, Cook Time: 0 mins, Total Time: 10 mins
June 17, 2014
I was sent a lovely selection of Sarah Raven seedlings to grow including Mustard 'Red Giant', 'Green Salad Bowl' and 'Solix' lettuces, Rocket and Mizuna. And all bar the rocket grew really well, funnily enough even in France I seemed to struggle with rocket and I've no idea why. Possibly over watering and too much sun. Maybe the more green fingered amongst you can offer some tips?. I did manage a couple of small salads out of it though. I was particularly intrigued by the mild peppery Mizuna and spicy hot Red Giant leaves, both new to me salads and morishly delish plucked and eaten straight from the tubs. My kids have been forever nibbling at the lettuces and still can't resist a leaf or two every time they're in the garden! At a barbie we had last week Jacques served each of the guests a selection of his freshly picked leaves, then proceeded to watch over to check they were actually eating them. A natural born foodie that boy.
The idea behind the joint project was to design a seasonal summer side to go with the selection of Higgidy goodies that I was recently sent to try out too. Oh what a chore. After winning my Pie Party back in March I was already familiar with the excellent quality and deliciousness of their pies but was yet to sample the quiche range. I was kindly sent a selection of Balsamic Onion & Cheddar, Spinach & Roasted Red Pepper and Smoked Bacon & Cheddar Quiches to trial (make that devour). On the pie front I got to sample their Sweet Potato & Feta Pies with Pumpkin Seeds and the 'special guest' pie Chicken & Smoky Spanish Chorizo Pie this time round.
And by gosh were they all tremendously good. All of them. Truly. Being the generous gal that I am I did share a few out with (special) friends and my two pastry-fiend monsters. Possibly being a little over-generous on the sharing front. Each pie and quiche received high praise and amazement from the grown up folk that pre-produced bakes could be made with all the quality, flavour and texture of home cooked goodies. Probably better than I could do myself actually! Though Higgidy do pride their pies and quiches as being lovingly and individually hand crafted, and you really can tell. The pastry's most excellent too, crumbly, rich, short and with a delightful and unique poppy and sesame seed crunch for a bit of extra "va va voom". An idea I'm so going to try next time I bake. Fillings were all of top notch quality and gloriously un-skimped on. Annoying my kids liked ALL of them, which believe me is not the norm.
As for my salady sides, I struggled with just one idea so came up with three. My first today, a Chickpea, Cherry Tomato & Rocket or Mizuna Salad dressed with a spanish style dressing of Sherry Vinegar, Olive Oil and a little Sweet Smoked Paprika. I made it with Higgidy's Chicken & Smoky Spanish Chorizo Pie in mind and it really did work perfectly together. But was also good with the Sweet Potato & Feta Pies and the Quiches too. I'll be posting my two other side recipes this week so do watch out. There's New Potatoes with a Lettuce Pesto Dressing and a Mustard Green, Bulgar, Cranberry & Walnut Salad.

Thanks Madeleine, I love chickpeas and really need to experiment more with them in salads!↓
All of these need to be on my table right now! I've got a can of chickpeas lurking in my cupboard and an empty lunchbox for tomorrow. Hmmm!
Funnily enough rocket is the only thing I can really grow without it dying off on me. Apart from weeds of course, I'm great at weeds.↓
Oh how funny you've green fingers for rocket. It just rockets off from me! Weeds I'm very good at too.↓

It is so nice to be able to go out into your garden an pick fresh greens and veg and straight onto your plates rig? I have yet to try the Higgidy range but I hear good things about them.↓
Oh you really must try them Bintu, they knock the socks off any other bought pies or quiches. And very popular with the littlies too, they adore them all!↓
FABULOUS! So summery and lovely colours too Lou! I love my garden – it's so special to go out to pick fresh veg and fruit!↓
It is indeed very special to grow and pick your own, so missed it last year. And a wonderful exercise to watch how things grow for the kids too, though they do tend to scoff everything before it's ready!↓

Wilton holds off Staples to advance to FCIAC semifinals
Recommended Video:
WILTON — It was a race against the clock and that was all. The race against the Staples Wreckers was already won.
So when Wilton High's Caroline Sweeny laid the ball up and in at the buzzer of the Warriors' 57-53 FCIAC girls basketball quarterfinal victory over Staples, it didn't change the result.
It just served as an exclamation point.
On Saturday, 39 days after the Wreckers handed Wilton their only home loss of the season, the Warriors exacted revenge, knocking Staples out of the league playoffs while advancing to the semifinals for the first time in three seasons.
"We know it's the playoffs and we can't look back, but we remembered that first game with them," said Sweeny, who was one of four Wilton players in double figures. "We used it as motivation."
Sweeny and Lauren Robertson led the Warriors with 12 points each while Elizabeth Breslin and Claire Gulbin netted 11 each, making the afternoon hell for the Wreckers defense. Even Emily Tuin, Wilton's fifth starter, added eight points.
"You want to try to slow down Gulbin as much as possible, but they have other players," Staples coach Paco Fabian said. "They have five solid players out there."
Each time the Warriors tried to pull away from the Wreckers, though, they couldn't, leading up to a thrilling finish.
Sweeny opened the fourth quarter with two foul shots and a 3-pointer, pushing Wilton's six-point lead to 11 at 43-32.
With 4:56 left to play, the advantage was still 10 at 48-38.
Behind Elle Fair (8 of her game-high 20 points came in the fourth quarter), the Wreckers stormed back to make it sure they had a chance to tie the game in the closing seconds.
Fair and Arianna Gerig both drained 3-point shots to cut Wilton's lead to 54-53 with less than 20 seconds to play.
A Sweeny foul shot made it a two-point game, and both Gerig and Fair had shots to tie it, but couldn't make it.
"We got a good look, but just couldn't connect," Fabian said. "The problem, though, is you can't go down 10 in the third quarter. I'm proud with how the girls played. They never gave up."
An outlet pass to Sweeny ended the game and she raced to the opposite end of the court for an exclamation-point bucket.
Wilton's starting five.
There's no way to separate that balance, especially given how each player took turns making big plays in big moments.
From Elizabeth Breslin netting seven points in the first quarter to get the Warriors off to a good start to Sweeny netting nine in the fourth quarter, each player shined at different times.
"Hopefully we can frustrate other opponents with that," Wilton coach Rob Coloney said. "I really think that's the thing that makes us a good team."
Fabian knows how far the Wreckers have come since he took over the program, and a berth in the league tournament is the next step of the rebuilding process.
And moving forward, his team still has the state tournament to look forward to.
While Fair had her outside game on point, draining six 3-pointers, Gerig added 13 points to the winning effort.
Arianna Gerig 6 0-1 13, Elle Fair 7 0-0 20, Marissa Shorrock 3 0-0 7, Amanda Troelstra 0 2-2 2, Abigail Carter 1 2-3 5, Marley Lopez-Paul 2 0-0 4, Sophie Smith 1 0-0 2, Kate Rutter 0 0-2 0, Nicole Dienst 0 0-0 0, Totals 20 4-8 53
Elizabeth Breslin 4 3-6 11, Emily Tuin 3 0-0 8, Lauren Robertsn 5 2-5 12, Caroline Sweeny 3 5-8 12, Claire Gulbin 5 0-0 11, Zoe Rappaport 1 0-0 3, Maddie Burke 0 0-2 0, Totals 21 10-21 57
3-pointers: S—Fair 6, Shorrock, Gerig; W—Tuin 2, Sweeney, Gulbin, Rappaport.

The European Parliament gave the final nod to the WiFi4EU project, which will see local authorities in member states bid for a share of a €120 million fund to pay for the installation of free Wi-Fi in public areas.
Mariya Gabriel, commissioner for Digital Economy and Society at the European Commission (EC), described the development as "a concrete step forward for delivering results to all EU citizens".
Regional authorities are expected to be able to submit applications for a stake of the pot before the year-end.
The money will be awarded to authorities across the economic bloc deemed to be most deserving, in the form of vouchers covering the cost of installing equipment in community areas such as libraries and town squares.
WiFi4EU was announced by the EC in September 2016 and since gone through a lengthy approval process, which also saw the European Council of member states give the green light to the bill.
Following today's final sign-off from the European Parliament, it will be recorded in the EU's official journal and passed into law.
High hopes
The announcement comes a day after Broadband Competence Office (BCO) director Jan Droge tipped WiFi4EU to have a significant impact on connectivity in underserved areas when the first round of funds are made available.
Speaking at Broadband World Forum in Berlin, Droge said the programme was: "A new aid mechanism which is quite innovative. It will make connectivity in small public spaces easier".
The BCO is an EU body set-up to supply advice and support for member states struggling with the technological and logistical aspects of fibre broadband deployment, including securing funding and partnerships with regulators.

You may recall a few years ago a story about a kitten being raised in a Rhode Island nursing home that had a knack for cuddling up to patients in the hours before their deaths. Cute story, right? But would you want to want the kitty go on death watch for 90 minutes?
"Making the Rounds With Oscar: The Extraordinary Gift of an Ordinary Cat," Dr. David Dosa's bestseller that chronicles the cat's death march, is being adapted by Stephen Lindsey ("Hachi: A Dog's Tale") and Luis Ugaz, reported Variety.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
From the Publisher's Weekly synopsis of "Making the Rounds With Oscar":
Dosa starts to pay more attention to the cat's decidedly odd behavior, noticing that Oscar seeks out the dying, snuggles with the patient and family members until the patient passes; with others, he smells the patient's feet, sits outside a closed door until admitted, or refuses to leave a dying patient's bed. Dosa discovers how powerfully Oscar's mere presence reassures frightened or grieving family. Ultimately, the good doctor realizes that it doesn't matter where Oscar's gift comes from; it's the comfort he brings that's important.

Compassion for yourself is similar to compassion for others. If you are compassionate with other people you meet during the day, you will not only make them happier, but feel better about yourself.
Self-compassion means respecting yourself and allowing your mind and body to avoid suffering. Noticing is the first step towards compassion for both yourself and others. When you start paying attention to your wants and needs, compassion and caring come naturally.
Compassion is a positive influence
The positive influence of compassion on people has been proven a long time ago. Feeling better about yourself is a consequence of self-compassion because you end up knowing and recognizing your needs, and are thus able to fulfill them optimally.
Offering understanding and kindness is all that it takes.
You may not be able to solve the problems of others, but by showing that you do care about yourself, you add value to the world. The effects of compassion on your mind will be overwhelming. When you start looking at yourself with kindness and compassion you will become calmer and happier, which will directly benefit others you come in contact with.
The importance of feeling good about yourself is known to mental health specialists from across the world. It is also important to realize that self-improvement is something to strive for throughout your journey.
There is no end destination; just a journey toward betterment that lasts for an entire life time. We improve because we want to feel better, not because there is something inherently wrong with us. Life is strange and wonderful at the same time, and frustrations, losses and limitations will occur. That is an inevitable occurrence, but when we realize that it is alright to sometimes feel down, and that hardships in life simply happen, happiness and balance will become reality.
Self-compassion allows you to go through life knowing that hardships can be overcame. It helps you get past the crippling doubt and lack of self-confidence you may be feeling at times. You'll be more courageous when it comes to making choices and you'll find that you have more success in life. Your newfound self-esteem will allow you to feel better about yourself, no matter what kind of hardship comes your way. By realizing you are not the sole cause of everything bad that happens in your life, you will become a better person, which will benefit you in numerous ways.
The state of your inner being is very important when it comes to all aspects of health. Worrying and stress can have a devastating impact on your body and your mind. Self-compassion is a tremendously important feeling that everyone should work on developing. Besides having the consequence of actually making you feel better, it will better your social life and the state of your general health. Only by being good to yourself and others can you achieve perfect balance in life.
Today, as you learn to cultivate more self-compassion, take some time to be present with you. What are you wanting and needing today? Get in touch with how you're feeling and take care of you. This is being compassionate about yourself. As you grow in self-compassion, you'll find yourself feeling happier and this will lead to you having a better perspective about others and life. It's a win-win situation for sure.
