When I was younger I used to feel a thrill of anticipation when going to the cinema to see a big film. Always a slight shudder of nerves and excitement as the film's title and BBFC certificate, along with the authorising signatories, appeared on screen. I was self-consciously apprehensive about whether something I was really, really looking forward to, could possibly live up to the hype I'd been assigning it in my brain for days and weeks beforehand. I hoped for the best, but feared the worst.
But sometime in my early twenties, it all stopped. Maybe I'd seen too many films. Maybe I'd been disappointed by too many movies to work myself up anymore. Maybe it was just part of growing up. I still made sure that I was in the cinema queue early, of course – there's nothing worse than turning up late and having to sit down the front, craning your neck to see the screen (I still chuckle when people enter after the opening titles have started, and actually look surprised when they can't find a decent seat) – but those nerves at the sight of the BBFC logo had disappeared completely.
So why reminisce about this now? It has to do with the release of Inception, Christopher Nolan's latest blockbuster. I absolutely loved The Dark Knight, and in particular Nolan's confident handling of the film. From what I understand, TDK's success essentially gave him a blank cheque to do whatever he wanted next, and Inception is – no pun intended – his dream project, something he's been thinking about for a number of years. What's exciting about it is not only Nolan being given free reign, but the film supposedly being a multi-layered, surprising and complex tale. Quite a departure for a megabudget thriller.
In addition, there are whispers that the trailers for the film don't give away what it's really about. The last time a trailer for a blockbuster was ambiguous and left the viewer wanting more answers than they were given, was probably for The Matrix back in 1999. Remember the whole "What Is The Matrix?" tease of that campaign? The marketing for Inception has that same kind of iceberg quality about it – you just know that there's loads of stuff hidden under the surface.
So I'm really looking forward to Inception. And when the BBFC logo comes up, I reckon there could be a fair few butterflies.

FLEFF Intern Voices
The Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival from the interns' point of view
Monday, March 28, 2011
Blog posting written by Peter Keahey, Film, Photography and Visual Arts, '12, FLEFF Intern, Yellow Springs, Ohio
I was able to have a discussion with Ithaca College professor Peter Rothbart. Professor Rothbart teaches Jewish studies, music theory, and history & comparison. He has served as a programming consultant for FLEFF in the past, and this year he is teaching a FLEFF mini-course titled, "Cultural Ecology," which explores how different social elements influence environment.
Peter: When did you first become involved with FLEFF?
Rothbart: The first or second year it was at IC.
Peter: Why did you become involved with FLEFF?
Rothbart: I had an interest in film and sound and it was an interesting thing to bring environmental awareness through film and sound.
Peter: What are you're responsibilities as programming consultant?
Rothbart: I wrote a FLEFF mini-course Cultural Ecology. I also previously worked on sound production around environmental issues.
Peter: How did you develop your mini-course Cultural Ecology?
Rothbart: I went back to United Nations' idea of ecology: an interaction of different elements that create a society or environment. As a musician, I focused on the interaction of different cultures and how new artistic cultures form, including what new aspects are created and what old aspects are lost. It applies the idea ecology to a cultural, anthropological perspective through the arts.
Peter: What aspects of music and sound do you bring to FLEFF?
Rothbart: I talk about music, soundscapes and how they are used to reflect culture and evolution and how sound changes or effects my students' listening, studying, and thinking habits.
Peter: Are you involved in the silent screenings and live musical bands?
Rothbart: No, I did some of that a couple years ago, but not now.
Peter: What knowledge do you want students to take away from your mini-course?
Rothbart: An awareness of who they are, where they came from, and how artistic influences from different cultures have helped shape their history and their current habits.
Peter: How were you involved as an advisory board member?
Rothbart: We thought about what kinds of movies we wanted to bring, what direction we wanted to go, and what kinds of courses we wanted to offer.
Peter: What does FLEFF contribute to the Ithaca community?
Rothbart: It deepens the cultural experience of film-going, beyond entertainment, to edutainment. It makes people more aware of the environment on many different levels

Amy Crockett designed a baby shower using our Party in a Bag and her Cricut die cut machine;
Here's what Amy had to say about her time on the SRM Stickers Design Team; "I have so very much enjoyed my time as a member of the SRM Stickers design team. I have had so many wonderful opportunities this past year to get to work with some amazing designers and some of the best products in the industry. I have really enjoyed working with these beautiful stickers....they inspire me to make beautiful cards and projects each and every time I create with them. With every assignment, I have had the chance to grow as a designer and also to be pushed beyond my comfort zone to try new and exciting projects. SRM Stickers will always hold a special place in my heart as my first manufacturer design team and also for all the chances I have had to get to know some pretty amazing people during my term this last year. I would like to thanks Susan and Jenyfur for giving me the chance to be a part of it and for all of the great experiences I have had as a member of this wonderful design team."
I know we'll be seeing a lot more of Amy's work, particularly with Cricut Magazine! Thank you for everything, Amy!

KOCHI: The death toll from the worst floods in nearly a century in the Indian tourist state of Kerala rose to 43 on Wednesday (Aug 15) as rising water stranded tens of thousands of people and forced the closure of one of its main airports.
The five latest fatalities from the rain that began a week ago came when authorities in the southern state were forced to release water from 35 dangerously full dams, sending a surge into its main river.
Hundreds of villages have been flooded and the military has been called in to help with rescues.
More than 10,000km of roads and hundreds of homes have been destroyed or damaged across the state, officials said.
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's office announced on Twitter that Kochi International Airport – the main gateway to the region – would be closed until Saturday "due to heavy rains and resultant flooding."
A Kerala State Disaster Management Authority (KSDMA) official told AFP that the death toll was expected to rise.
A heavy rainfall "red-alert" has been issued across much of the state, which is home to around 33 million people, the official added.
"Our state is in the midst of an unprecedented flood havoc," Vijayan said earlier this week. "The calamity has caused immeasurable misery and devastation."
A senior official with the Kerala State Disaster Management Authority, Sekhar Lukose Kuriakose, said the seasonal rains have killed more than 200 people in the state since May and displaced many.
The state last saw such devastating flooding in 1924.
Famous for its coastline and picturesque backwaters, Kerala has become a major destination for domestic and international tourists.
The US embassy last week advised Americans to avoid Kerala, which drew more than one million foreign tourists last year, according to official data.
Kerala floods LIVE: Death toll rises to 67, Kochi Airport shut, Mullaperiyar Dam remains a concern
August 15, 2018, livemint
Kerala today shut the Kochi airport till Saturday as rains returned to wreak more havoc in the state. At least 25 people have been killed so far today, and thousands others are being evacuated from the fresh Kerala floods.
The state has opened 35 of its dams, a first in history, even as the Mullaperiyar Dam's water levels remained a concern.
Kerala was just limping back to normalcy after the worst floods since 1924 killed 39 over the last week. So far, more than 1 lakh people have been rescued in the state.
"Kochi Airport operations temporarily suspended till 18th Saturday 2pm since the inflow of water is still on a raising trend. We are working hard to drain out the storm water," Cochin International Airport Ltd said in a notice on its website.

'Massive blow'
Unite said the announcement that Cummins Generator Technologies is to close one of its sites in Stamford threatening about 300 jobs is 'a massive blow to the Lincolnshire economy'.
It is reported that Cummins currently employs 500 people in Stamford, but the company says new investment will safeguard the jobs of 150 people.
Unite regional officer Scott Lennon said, "Today's announcement is a massive blow to the Lincolnshire economy and is terrible news for the workers, whose jobs are under threat, and their families.
"The company, which makes generators for power stations, appears to be blaming the state of the UK economy and Brexit for this decision. There are also proposals to move some production to Romania," he added.
"However, when we meet the management on Monday (October 9), we will be pressing hard for the rationale behind the business case for the closure of the Barnack Road site within the next 12 months.
"We are entering the 45-day consultation period and our goal is to safeguard the employment of our members to the maximum extent and investigate the plans to move 150 people to a centre of excellence in Ryhall Road in the town.
"This still leaves some 300 workers rightly concerned about their future.
"Cummins is a profitable company and we will be exploring opportunities for redeployment to the company's sites at Daventry and Peterborough," Lennon went on to say
"Unite takes the loss of skilled manufacturing jobs in the UK very seriously and we will be working very hard to ensure that as many jobs as possible are retained in Stamford. We will leave no stone unturned to this end."
Unite has about 370 members at Cummins in Stamford and they include production workers and skilled engineering staff.

Excess activity and deficits in attention, behaviour regulation and impulse control are characterised differently by the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD). The 4th and 5th Editions of the DSM (DSM-IV and DSM-5TM) classify this condition as ADHD, whereas the 10th Revision of the ICD (ICD-10) characterises this as hyperkinetic disorder (HKD) (Andrews at al. 1999; World Health Organization 2001; American Psychiatric Association 2013). Although both classification systems use similar behavioural criteria, they differ in diagnostic decisions, and comparison studies suggest that HKD is associated with greater severity than ADHD. Using data from the Multimodal Treatment of ADHD (MTA) study,* the long-term outcomes of children with a baseline diagnosis of HKD according to the ICD-10 were assessed.
The research criteria for HKD were utilised by applying HYPESCHEME† filters to baseline ratings from the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children (DISC)–Parent Interview and the Swanson, Nolan and Pelham (SNAP) Teacher Rating Scale; self- and parent-reports from the youth adult version of the DISC (DISC-YA) were used to determine adult HKD. To determine adult ADHD symptomatology at 12-, 14- and 16-year follow-ups, both the self- and parent-rated Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scale (CAARS) and the DISC-YA were used. Substance use, educational outcomes, occupational, emotional and socioeconomic functioning, sexual behaviour, justice involvement, medication use, impairment, height and car crashes were also assessed.
The original MTA study included 579 children with a diagnosis of combined-type ADHD. According to the ICD-10, 145 of these children met the criteria for HKD ("original HKD"), and in 109 children, this continued into adulthood. On the other hand, 434 children were identified as not having HKD, and this was also true in 367 of these children in adulthood. In the authors' analyses, they also included individuals who had generalised anxiety disorder (GAD)/depression. In this instance, a total of 178 of the 579 children in the MTA study were characterised as having HKD ("expanded HKD") according to the ICD-10, which continued into adulthood for most of these children (n=135); however 401 children did not have HKD and it was not present in adulthood for 341 of these children.
A comparison of children with and without HKD (n=109 versus n=367) from the "original HKD" sample showed that according to the DSM-IV and DSM-5TM, there were no differences in the severity of symptoms (p>0.05) or persistence of adult ADHD (p>0.05). This was also observed in the "expanded HKD" sample (n=135 versus n=341). The use of stimulants and rates of consistent medication use were comparable between all groups; however, children with comorbid anxiety or depression (analysed using the "expanded HKD" sample) were more likely to demonstrate symptoms of ADHD in adulthood (p<0.005). There were no major differences in adult functional outcomes in the "original HKD" group compared with those without HKD; however, emotional lability problems (mean 0.86 [standard deviation (SD) 0.47] versus mean 0.94 [SD 0.57]; p=0.005) and car accidents (mean 50 [SD 38.75] versus mean 209 [SD 53.58]; p=0.032) were more common in those without HKD, whereas job losses (mean 1.28 [SD 1.68] versus mean 1.09 [SD 1.4]; p=0.01) were higher in those in the "original HKD" group. Conversely, in the "expanded HKD" group, individuals with HKD were at a lower risk for car accidents (mean 60 [SD 38.5] versus mean 199 [SD 54.8]; p=0.006) and emotional lability (mean 0.89 [SD 0.49] versus mean 0.93 [SD 0.57]; p=0.003) than those without HKD, and there were no differences in job losses (mean 1.19 [SD 1.6] versus mean 1.11 [SD 1.43]; p=0.09) or use of stimulants (mean 19.3 [SD 20.63] versus mean 16.1 [SD 19.04]; p=0.17). Patterns of medication use throughout adolescence, stimulant use in adulthood, adult symptom severity, substance use, educational outcomes, socioeconomic functioning, sexual behaviour, justice involvement and height were not significantly different between groups (p>0.05); however, individuals in the "original HKD" group reported higher medication use than those without HKD (mean 20.3 [SD 21.21] versus mean 16.05 [SD 18.95]; p=0.08). Using the HYPESCHEME filters, 6/109 (5.5%) children in the "original HKD" group and 12/135 (8.9%) children in the "expanded HKD" group could be classified as having HKD in adulthood according to the ICD-10 criteria.
The authors indicated that a limitation of this study was that compared with those without HKD, individuals identified at baseline as having HKD had a higher rate of attrition. They stated that the apparent outcome of HKD relative to ADHD without HKD would be artificially improved if the most severe cases were lost to follow-up.
The authors concluded that despite their initial hypothesis, children from the MTA study who displayed a greater initial symptom severity and pervasiveness with an ICD-10 diagnosis of HKD at baseline did not have worse outcomes in young adulthood compared with those who did not meet the criteria for HKD.

*In brief, the MTA study included 579 children aged between 7 and 9 years old with a diagnosis of combined-type ADHD according to DSM-IV criteria. Individuals were randomly assigned to systematic medication management, comprehensive multicomponent behavioural treatment or a combination of both. Study treatment was provided for 14 months, and assessment occurred at 24 months, 36 months, and 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 years after baseline. A total of 476 (82.2%) of the original 579 children also had assessments in adulthood
†HYPESCHEME can generate an explicit category of HKD and ADHD as it is an algorithm used for coding information from a variety of different records and instruments. The HYPESCHEME applied filters relating to comorbidity, symptom domain, pervasiveness and impairment

A while ago, I admired the website of the US vegan restaurant "Millennium" in San Francisco. If you want to take a peak at the menu, here's a link:
One of the dishes on the menu included a dried apricot salad dressing:
"Pistachio Crusted Tempeh
Moroccan spiced spring vegetable tagine with chickpeas, carrots & asparagus, Israeli cous cous salad, Meyer lemon, cucumber & shaved fennel, harissa oil, dried apricot vinaigrette."
Luckily enough I found a recipe for a dried apricot vinaigrette under "salad dressings" (logically)on the website http://www.veganchef.com. Chef Beverly Lynn Bennett has included loads of vegan recipes and there are even more in her three books that she advertises on the site.
Here's my adaptation for the Thermomix but beware – I doubled the ingredients because I wanted some for the next day for my lunchbox salad.
Put double the given quantity of both apple juice and apricots (I guestimated the amount of tablespoons) and the ground ginger into the TMX. Set the temperature to 100C/8m/speed 1. Allow to cool. Add double the amount of each of the last ingredients lime juice, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup or brown rice syrup and salt and then blend at high speed until you have quite a thick puree.
This is wonderful on grated carrots!

A STUDENT stripped down to her underwear to present her thesis in a bid to fight "oppressive beliefs" after claiming her professor questioned the shorts she was wearing.
Letitia Chai shed her clothes in front of fellow students during her presentation as part of her brave protest in the name of women's rights.
The stunt at Cornell University in New York, was filmed on Facebook Live and aimed to counter what she believed were "oppressive beliefs and discrimination".
Miss Chai's protest came after her prof said her hotpants were too short.
Describing the incident in a Facebook post, Miss Chai wrote: "She proceeded to tell me in front of my whole class that I was inviting the male gaze away from the content of my presentation and onto my body."
After she left the classroom, her teacher came out to talk to her and according to Miss Chai, she asked her what her mum would think of her choice of outfit.
Miss Chai wrote: "What would my mom think? My mom is a feminist, gender, sexuality studies professor.
"She has dedicated her life to the empowerment of people in all gender identities.
"So, I think my mother would [be] fine with my shorts."
She told the audience of several dozens that this was a call for "solidarity" with students like her who had been asked to "question themselves about their appearances for the comfort of others".
So she decided to give the best presentation of her life - but bravely in her underwear.
Later the teacher involved told local media: "I do not tell my students what to wear, nor do I define for them what constitutes appropriate dress.
"I ask them to reflect for themselves and make their own decisions."
After the incident, 11 of the 13 other students in the class issued a statement saying they "supported Ms Chai's commitment to the cause of women's rights" but did not agree with her recollection of the events.

Vastavam web: India and Russia today agreed to help each other in combating terrorism as the two strategic partners signed a key agreement, asserting that there are no good or bad terrorists and the menace should be fought jointly.The agreement between the two countries for cooperation in tackling all forms of terrorism was signed by Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Russia's Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev here after they held wide-ranging talks."The new agreement between India's MHA and Russia's interior ministry will replace the October 1993 agreement between both the countries. This agreement will help in expanding and deepening cooperation on issues related to internal security," Singh tweeted after signing the pact.
The Indian embassy statement said the two leaders agreed to cooperate in combating new challenges, enhance exchange of information, cooperate in building a data base and in training of police and investigative agencies.Indian and Russian representatives also signed the joint action plan for countering the threat posed by narcotics and the agreement will provide legal framework for bilateral cooperation in this field.This pact provides a comprehensive approach for help in security related issues, including information technology crimes, counterfeiting currency, illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, trafficking in human beings, economic crimes, crimes related to intellectual property, cultural property amongst others, the statement said.
During the meeting, the ministers emphasised the strength of the relationship between India and Russia that has been consolidated in the past 70 years in all areas.Before leaving for Russia, Singh said India and Russia share a special relationship which has withstood the test of time over the decades.

My Norman Rockwell image of cozy, home-based hospitality was dropkicked into the end zone when I first realized that Jesus, the One we model hospitality after, never had a permanent address.
If I peeked at how you define hospitality, you most likely mention something having to do with hosting people in our homes, right? Yet our Lord who embodied the ultimate lifestyle of hospitality—the style guide, the living portrait of all things welcome—never owned a house, but He still initiated hospitality everywhere He went.
Throughout Scripture, this amazing Host teaches what it means to invite others into a new way of life, yet He never stayed in one place for long. He always traveled where needed, and met people where they were at in the most unlikely places, creating a safe place of belonging as He walked.
First John 2:6 shows us that Jesus walked the road of welcome and offered the gift of invitation whenever, wherever, and with whomever He came into contact. He is still the embodiment of all things Home.
If your schedule looks anything like mine, this could be an aha moment like it was for me. While Scripture is clear about its mandate to welcome others into our homes, this gives such freedom to proactively choose an enlarged vision of hospitality that looks different from what we originally imagined. The essence of hospitality stems from our spiritual hearts, not our physical homes.
Paul reminds us that, "Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well" (1 Thess. 2:8, NIV). I can share my life. Anything I know about gathering people I learned from Him anyhow, so if Jesus walked the road of welcome, so can I.
This doesn't mean it comes easy. I remember stewing with resentment for weeks after our kids signed up for football. Our schedule was already crazy and then we added practices that I'd unknowingly agreed to. Personal time was nonexistent and the "real" ministry opportunities I wanted to be a part of fell by the wayside.
One day, it was as though the Lord tackled me (it was football after all), saying something like, "Jen, quit complaining and wasting time. You signed up for this and agreed to this schedule, so choose to bring Me glory in the midst of it." That's when my aha moment hit. I couldn't quite contain my newfound excitement. When I thought I didn't have time to add one more thing to my plate, I saw how the Greatest Commandment, Christ's Great Commission, and sharing my life with others could intertwine on the sidelines.
I laced up my shoes and got walking right to the sidelines of our kids' sports field. I embraced my new motto, "Hospitality Will Travel" and added it to my manifesto, and it completely shifted how I did life with others. I looked at how Jesus modeled His Father's love in tangible ways as He walked the road of welcome by extending simple, intentional invitations. Often, He connected meeting a physical need with a spiritual need.
We learn to make room for one more because He first made room for one more. We invite others to the table because He demonstrated the beauty of life done together. We initiate, invite, and gather because He did it first. He is the model of all things welcome and His invitations are simple.
With footballs flying around me, I made a conscious choice right then and there to alter my attitude. I released my previous plans for those free practice hours and instead of viewing them as something I had to endure, I offered them to the Lord and reminded myself, Jen, you don't have to; you get to.
For the next few months, the sidelines became my new home, and the families involved became my people. I packed up my love of hospitality and brought it with me to the football field, while the Lord and I exchanged a few high fives over the idea that this is where He'd placed me for this season. Different nationalities, different social and economic backgrounds, varying political affiliations—He'd brought them all to this field and put them right in front of me. "Look what you get to do," I could almost hear Him saying, "go have fun!"
That year was revolutionary. I approached practice time with an elevated vision. I'd sit on the bleachers, on the sidelines, or behind the concession stands, wondering those earlier questions, Who can I love on today? Who needs encouragement? Nothing fancy. No special skills needed. No agenda. I started paying attention. I started observing. (If I'd had a phone at that time, it would have meant turning it off and looking around.) I brought blankets, snacks, and toys for our babies and asked other moms to join me. The blanket became our table and the two-hour practice a bridge for new community. Even on those days when this mama arrived worn and weary, I had no special expectation except, I'm here to share life with you. Come sit if you want.
We've all probably heard plenty of sermons on the Great Commission (Matt. 28:19-20). It can seem daunting, overwhelming, and even scary. We might feel guilty because we don't have the time or resources to fly overseas and take the gospel to the ends of the earth. We may wonder if we're capable of clearly articulating the good news so that we do the gospel justice, yet in this context, it all changes.
On those football sidelines, as I looked to my right and left, God had brought the nations to me. Women sitting beside me needed the love of Jesus, and I knew how to share it because I needed it myself. And let me tell you, He started showing up in that place, right there over the kids' Goldfish® crackers and applesauce.
It's a pretty radical concept. Hospitality as an on-the-go lifestyle. Hospitality: will travel. But since when has anything Jesus modeled turned out to be anything less than radical?
Please don't underestimate this. Living on mission is a powerful force. God has called, equipped, and appointed you to do amazing things right where you are—in whatever role you work or serve. Look for those opportunities. Pay attention and seize those moments. At school, at the grocery store, with neighbors, or wherever, you have the opportunity to be the difference in someone's seemingly ordinary day. "Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship" (Rom. 12:1).
It's hard to say no to hospitality on the go when God's asking you to offer whatever is already on your schedule to Him.
As I type this, our football player is getting ready to play his final collegiate game. It's been fourteen years since I first offered my makeshift blanket table to others. If you'd have told me then that the launching pad for our family's greatest area of spiritual significance would occur by pitching ourselves on the sidelines of a sports field and taking our hospitality on the go, I'd have stated, "That's not possible." I would have been wrong.
The power of your faithful presence, showing up over and over right where you're planted, can change a generation as you welcome others and point them to the Ultimate Inviter.

The boys held nothing back and scored their first goal within the first 30 seconds of the game and quickly followed with a second. Due to the weather not giving up; the game was called with 10 minutes remaining in the half. The game ended with a victorious 4-0 win.

By: Cold Steel
The Colichemarde emerged on the sword scene in the late 1600's during the decline of the Rapier and the rise of the small sword. Its long suit was its uniquely shaped blade that was extra wide at the forte then stepped down or narrowed for the rest of its length before ending in a wicked point. The advantage of this configuration was it allowed the sword to be used to parry or oppose even the heaviest weapons without breaking, yet remain light and supple enough to take full advantage of its lightning quick point. Cold Steel president Lynn C. Thompson has long been an admirer of the Colichemarde due to its great versatility in attack or defense so we enlisted the aid of our good friend Dave Baker, and made our own modern interpretation. True to form, our blade mirrors the original design concepts with an extra long and wide forte that abruptly tapers down to an acute and deadly point. The hilt features a decorative, yet highly functional, double shell guard, complete with finger loops and knuckle bow, while the grip is completely wire wrapped and capped with a matching pommel.

Sheet Music: Score & Part(s)
Bundanon sonata for violin and piano / Linda Kouvaras.
by Linda Kouvaras (2011)
This item is available for sale but is currently unable to be purchased online.
Product details
Bundanon Sonata for Violin and Piano was written to a private commission from violinist Marianne Rothschild and pianist Glenn Riddle in December, 2010-January, 2011, during my fourth artist-in-residence stay at Bundanon, the Arthur and Yvonne Boyd estate bequeathed to the nation, situated on the Shoalhaven River in NSW.
The work is a multi-faceted response to experiencing the unique setting of Bundanon. The first movement "Pulpit Rock" reflects on the iconic rock formation way up high on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Shoalhaven River, situated right on its banks. The rock is the subject of many paintings by Arthur - and, since, by other artists. Thinking of the incongruity of the notion of a preacher standing at this 'pulpit', and the congregation necessarily housed in the river!, I was reminded of Gustav Mahler's Second Symphony, where he quotes one of his Wunderhorn songs "St Anthony Preaching to the Fishes" (which he was forced to do because he could not find a human congregation). I include a couple of quotations to make reference to Mahler's subtext: one is from the song and another is from the hymn, "A Safe Stronghold Our God is Still".
The second movement of the Sonata "The River Changes" came about from seeing the Shoalhaven River after a ten-year gap between visits to the Bundanon estate. "Ballad of the Singleman's Hut", the third movement, is a(n admittedly anachronistic) jazz waltz that was catalysed by imagining the inner life of the man who would have resided in this tiny, 1870s hut in the middle of one of the paddocks at Bundanon. "Earth Art Could Fall from the Skies", the final movement, comments on the plethora of contemporary site-specific artworks around the vast property, not only on the ground but also up in the trees.

You saw it - my blog died pretty much the instant I got a full time job. Because exactly like you, my job is all I can think about. And in my free time I want to see my friends, and especially NOT write since it's all I do day in, day out.

But I love your use of gifs, and the occasional six months late photos, and updates on whatever's on your mind. Ultimately, if I still had the time and courage, I think the best way for me (and I am selfishly believing that this applies to all other full time workers, we'll see if you agree) is by allowing for randomness, an absence of rules, and what I'd call 'stream of consciousness' articles in a way - posts that aren't necessarily about something, or nothing, but a little bit in the middle, tying in thoughts and happenings form your 'boring' daily life to other thoughts and matters.

I can relate to what you're saying....Hi Marion! I can relate to what you're saying... Working full time is such a sudden and harsh cut when you've been used to student life for years. I started working full-time in June and since then the weekends have been sacred and I only do what I really enjoy. I miss student life and working part-time so, so much... Going to markets and exploring the neighbourhood sounds great! We also go to markets, have breakfast somewhere but I also just enjoy being at home for once. When it comes to blogging: I've been trying to keep up a routine where I post once a week. Working on blogposts is like gardening for me on the weekends. I'm rambling... Regarding the buybuybuy/newnewnew thought. I totally get that. I'd like to blog about products more but I hardly ever buy stuff. Sometimes I look back on posts I did two years ago and realize that I'm still using the exact same things. So, I try to talk about other topics ... food, life, whatever. ANYHOW! I love your blog, and reading your thoughts and your photos. Take care, keep your chin up, wotking girls unite! ;) marylebowhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061988432845829428.post-22660770609644955222015-09-07T22:34:15.704+01:002015-09-07T22:34:15.704+01:00Francis!

re: projectors. I used to share a house with a guy who worked in home theatre. It was a crumby little house but he put in a THX rated sound system, a 100 inch projector screen and three, red velvet, reclining cinema seats. We'd watch Pirates of the Caribbean so loud you'd have to shout to be heard.

You've actually given me a lot of ideas in this comment (writing about my childhood in particular I'm surprisingly totes keen on).

I came at blogging from the rookiemag/art/diy/teen journal sorta place, so I guess I don't really associate blogs with consumerism (although I've blogging with products and brands so I'm definitely aware of that whole thing. I like this entry and how it's like a collage of different life bits and inspiration and happenings. I hope you don't feel too lost for too long, because I think writing a blog doesn't have to be about finding or being something specific, but just being you and expressing your you-ness, even if nothing eventful has happened. I mean, if you wanted to write a post about your childhood love of chewing buttons or your hatred of Frasier Crane or something, that's cool. It's you.

Also, projectors are the coolest and one day I really might get one. I don't have a suitable wall for one at the moment, though. My friend and I watched Twin Peaks on his wall and it was great.

I don't have a job, so I don't have the job-taking-over problem, BUT I did write some blog posts about blogging/YouTubing here which might be vaguely relevant: What Is Blogging? / Eye Heart You

ANYWAY HAVE A NICE DAY

National Guard members are getting a pay increase when fighting state wildfires, thanks to a new law. House Bill 1137 updates the state active duty compensation statute to a rate consistent with Department of Natural Resource rates for Guard members called to state service for wildland fire response. The Governor signed the bill this week.
"I am proud to stand with members of the National Guard by increasing their pay when they are serving us in dangerous conditions," said bill sponsor Rep. Mari Leavitt (D-University Place) after the bill signing. "Thank you to the Military Departments for bringing this issue to my attention and to all the men and women who protect our state during the wildfire crisis."
Because the state active duty compensation statute tied National Guard member pay to the federal minimum wage, it resulted in pay less than the state minimum wage. Leavitt's bill is the first update to the statute in 30 years.

I am using GoDaddy for my email hosting, but I was having trouble sorting through the numerous heartbeat & maintenance routines I was receiving. After coming across http://baumbach.com/google-script/ I was able to get notifications working. The largest advantage to this method is a unique schedule for each customer, so you can customize it to only alert you if there is a problem. For example, I have clients who do not use their machine every day, then a notification of a missing heartbeat on those days is worthless. I can customize that client to alert me if I have not received a heartbeat every 3 days instead of every day.
1. Sign Up for Gmail
2. Forward your existing email to this account (GoDaddy has a "Remote Email" Tab under Personal Settings)
3. Open this spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnNsZ06J1jY2dDM5SUZqYkQ5Q1ZRcWh6OVFxVVUwTHc#gid=0) and make a copy (File, Make a Copy)
4. Head to https://www.google.com/script/start/ and "Start Scripting"
5. Copying and paste the code from http://baumbach.com/google-script/
6. Open your new spreadsheet and look in the address bar for your public key
7. Modify "var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();" to say "var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById("YOUR_KEY_HERE").getActiveSheet();"
8. Customize your spreadsheet and add your customer alerts
9. Add a trigger (In Google Apps Scripts) to run on a predefined schedule.
Voila! You will now receive predefined emails about missing heartbeats.

Toyota Celebrates Rare Opening Of Japan Plant
OHIRA, Japan (AP) - Toyota celebrated the opening of an auto plant in a forsaken rural area of central Japan on Wednesday - its first new Japanese factory in 18 years that promises to grow into a significant production base for the world's largest car maker.
Dotted with rice paddies and sometimes covered by snow, the Tohoku region where the new Toyota plant is located is the true boondocks of Japan.
But the factory, which employs 900 people and boasts production capacity of 120,000 vehicles a year, is part of Toyota's promise to keep "made in Japan" alive by maintaining vehicle production in Japan of at least 3 million vehicles a year. That's about 40 percent of the 7.5 million vehicles it produces around the world.
Moving more production to countries with lower wages like Thailand, China and India has become a tempting and often necessary strategy for Japanese automakers to stay competitive, especially amid a strong yen, which makes goods made in Japan more expensive overseas.
"This is bringing hope and energy to the future of Tohoku," Yoshihiro Murai, governor of the prefecture (state) where the plant is located, told a crowd at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
A shiny red Yaris compact sedan, set for export to North America and the first to roll off the line, was presented in a puff of smoke as "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" rang out and curtains opened on a stage at the plant.
"This is like a dream come true," said Masahiro Atobe, mayor of Ohira, the plant's home town of 5,500 residents.
He acknowledged he had been worried the plans would be ditched after the financial crisis hit, sending auto demand plunging in the U.S., a crucial market for Toyota Motor Corp.
The rising yen was another concern, he said. The dollar sank from about 90 yen last year to nearly 80 yen at one point in recent months, although it has recovered to about 83 yen.
Now, Atobe is all smiles.
"We are so lucky the plant is opening in the Year of the Rabbit, which signals a leap toward achievement," he said.
The new plant is part of a larger move by Japanese automakers to try and keep jobs in Japan by cutting production costs even though auto demand here has long been stagnant.
Japanese rival Nissan Motor Co. recently began producing the Leaf electric vehicle at a Japan plant, which used to manufacture the March subcompact whose production was moved to Thailand last year.
Toyota Executive Vice President Atsushi Niimi declined to say if the plant will start making hybrids, as some Japanese media have speculated. But he said having Japan plants produce hybrids and plug-ins would be one solution to adding value to the plants.
The factory is set to start producing the Corolla for both the Japanese and North American markets in April.
It is designed to be more compact and energy-efficient than comparable old-style Toyota plants. Reporters were given a tour of some of the innovations Wednesday.
Instead of hanging from above on the assembly line, the cars move on a conveyor belt side by side, instead of one after the other, so that the line can be shorter and workers don't have to move around as much.
Robotic arms lifted cars from one work area to another, also shortening the line. Smaller factories also consume less energy - being green while cutting costs.
Such penny-pinching innovations will be introduced in other plants, including overseas, and become central toToyota quality production, Niimi said.
"We want to make cars that can compete in pricing and quality in the world, and we are confident we can do it," he said.
Thirty-three year-old plant worker Tsuyoshi Koga, who like many of the plant's employees moved from an old Toyota plant near Tokyo, said he was thrilled.
"I love it. As the old saying goes, wherever you make your home is your castle," he said. "The seafood and golf courses are great in this area."

I firmly second this opinion, and have had great experiences working with local law enforcement in Florida on the trafficking of children. Sex Trafficking in America Published: April 29, 2012 "Not Quite a Teen, Yet Sold for Sex," by Nicholas D. Kristof (column, April 19), performs an important service by bringing to public attention the thousands of teenagers, both girls and boys, trapped in the most heinous kind of child exploitation in American cities. This persistent and growing problem gets scant attention yet threatens the well-being and the very lives of children from coast to coast. But Mr. Kristof's criticism of police departments is misguided. In more than 30 years of working on this problem from New York to Dallas to Los Angeles, I have known of no group more committed to the well-being of exploited, under-age teenagers than the designated units of police departments. They are often the only island of safety and sanity and the unsung heroes to hundreds of children. Financing for these divisions is often weak at best.

Swamp Rabbits Submit Qualifying Offers to Seven
Greenville, SC – The Greenville Swamp Rabbits, proud ECHL affiliate of the New York Rangers and the AHL's Hartford Wolf Pack, today announced the team has submitted qualifying offers to seven players from its 2015-16 roster.
"There's a great deal of leadership, skill and chemistry in this group of players to complement the ones we have already signed," Head Coach Brian Gratz said. "Between this mix of guys and the players we already have, I think there's a solid core for us to build from as we work toward achieving our ultimate goal of bringing a championship to Greenville."
The Swamp Rabbits have submitted qualifying offers to the following players:
Justin DaSilva (D): DaSilva made 61 appearances with the Swamp Rabbits last season, finishing third on the team with 71 penalty minutes and tying for fifth among all ECHL rookies with seven fighting majors. The 26-year-old also notched 21 points (3g, 18a) and a +5 rating in his first full professional campaign. A native of Cambridge, Ontario, DaSilva played four seasons at Ohio State University prior to turning pro.
Sean Escobedo (D): The 25-year-old led all Swamp Rabbits defensemen with 21 assists in 62 contests last season. He added a goal and 44 penalty minutes and was second among team defensemen with 22 points. A native of Bayside, New York, Escobedo also played 13 games in the American Hockey League (AHL) between the Hartford Wolf Pack, Charlotte Checkers and Manitoba Moose. He caught fire late in the season, collecting a goal and four assists in just 10 games with Manitoba.
Scott Fleming (F): Fleming, 27, was consistently Greenville's most productive offensive player last season. He led the team with 71 appearances, 57 points, 36 assists and a +17 rating – all career highs. The Plainfield, Ontario native also finished the season tied for second on the club in goals (21) and added 28 penalty minutes. Fleming will enter his fourth pro campaign this October.
Kellen Jones (F): Greenville acquired Jones' rights on Jun. 13 in a trade with the Missouri Mavericks to complete the Darian Dziurzynski deal from Mar. 3. The 25-year-old registered more than a point-per-game with the Mavericks last season, helping Missouri to the ECHL's best regular-season record (52-15-5) and the 2016 Brabham Cup title. He notched 25 points (6g, 19a) and a +9 rating in 23 regular-season games and also made 33 appearances in the AHL with the Bakersfield Condors and Utica Comets. A native of Montrose, British Columbia, Jones was initially drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in the seventh round (202nd overall) of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
Kevin King (F): King, 26, signed with Greenville on Mar. 8 shortly after completing a five-year career at the University of Calgary. He gathered one assist in nine appearances with the Swamp Rabbits and also spent three games with the AHL's Texas Stars. A Calgary native, King recorded 24 points (7g, 17a), 34 penalty minutes and a +7 rating in 28 games during his final college season in 2015-16.
Ryan Rashid (F): Rashid made 68 appearances with the Swamp Rabbits last season, second-most on the team, and ranked fifth in scoring with 38 points (13g, 25a). The 26-year-old added 53 penalty minutes and also played two games with the AHL's Charlotte Checkers. A native of Farmington Hills, Michigan, Rashid will enter his third professional season this October.
Vinny Saponari (F): Saponari, 26, spent the entire 2014-15 campaign with Greenville, but only played 40 games with the club last season. He was signed on Nov. 19 and produced 17 points (6g, 11a) and 12 penalty minutes during several AHL stints. The Powder Springs, Georgia native recorded seven points (1g, 6a) and six penalty minutes in 18 appearances with the AHL's Portland Pirates, Milwaukee Admirals and 2016 Calder Cup champion Lake Erie Monsters. Saponari was initially drafted in the fourth round (94th overall) by the Atlanta Thrashers in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.
Per ECHL guidelines, each team is entitled to reserve the rights to a maximum of eight (8) qualified players. Of those eight, no more than four could be veterans (260 regular-season professional games played as of the start of the 2016-17 season). Players on open qualifying offers cannot be traded.
The qualifying offer must remain open for acceptance until Aug. 1 at which time the qualifying offer becomes null and void and the team may sign the qualified player to any salary or may elect to take no further action. Teams that extend a valid qualifying offer to a non-veteran player shall retain the rights to that qualified player for one playing season.
If a restricted free agent is not signed to either an offer sheet or a contract by an ECHL team by Aug. 31, the player shall be deemed an unrestricted free agent.

This is merely at attempt to play for time. The solution is the MERP.
Ex-EC chief supports RCI on electoral reform
1:32PM Dec 24, 2012
Former Election Commission (EC) chief Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman said a royal commission of inquiry (RCI) on electoral reforms was necessary as Bersih 2.0's demands and proposals by the parliamentary select committee (PSC) on electoral reforms were not holistic enough.
Abdul Rashid (left), who served 17 years as the EC secretary and almost 10 years as the commission's head, said both Bersih 2.0 and PSC did not provide solutions for structural problems within the electoral system.
(Holistic reform) means studying all the laws, not just one or two. This is like changing the car battery, spark plug and engine oil. This type of quick fix will (cause) bigger problems. The core policies is the same, he told Malay daily Sinar Harian in an interview today.
He cited the example of using indelible ink, which has been accepted and will be implemented in the next general election, as a minor thing that will only dirty the hands and not strengthen Malaysia's democracy.
But I am not against it. I also wanted to do it (in 2008 ) but the government did not agree then. I don't know why they did not agree. During my tenure, the government did not agree but they agree now. Maybe because the pressure is higher.
In 2008, the government back-pedalled on the use of indelible ink four days before the March 8 general election, drawing flak from both BN and the opposition.
PSC terms of reference too narrow
Asked what would he do if he was made Bersih chief, Abdul Rashid replied he agreed with the coalition's demand to set up an RCI to study the electoral system despite already having the PSC.
(RCI is still) needed! This PSC is just temporary. Its terms of reference is also narrow. It cannot move outside of its terms of reference.
The PSC has done its mission, good! But those (PSC members) are MPs, they are politicians. They know what is happening but they will not touch (certain issues).
They just changed the engine, plug and engine oil, that's it, said Abdul Rashid.
However, Abdul Rashid did not elaborate in detail on the structural problems of the electoral system which he wants reviewed.
He had called for a committee to be set up for electoral reform after the historic 2008 general election.
In January this year, he commented that the proposals by the PSC are merely procedural changes, which can be implemented within a week.

Okay, up until now I have been mojoless and somewhat stuck. But, it seems she's back, and the muse is a little bit happier. So now things are starting to roll. This is good news for the book (and the deadline). But it is bad news for posting and other things. Because when the muse is standing there with a bull-whip in her hands, she aint a gonna let me do no foolin' around. Got it! I will WRITE. I will write WHAT she says, just as fast as my little fingers can type!
So if there aren't too many posts for a bit, understand. It's not my fault. (OUCH! I'm DONE already! JEEZ.)

SKILLED migrant taxpayers contributed $32 billion, or 72 per cent to the total $45 billion in migrant income in 2010-11 with those employed in mining earning the highest median income, according to new Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) figures.
In its second release of experimental data on migrants' personal income, the ABS reports that in 2010-11, skilled migrant taxpayers were most likely to be born in the United Kingdom, India and China, with almost half (49 per cent) hailing from these countries.
Migrants from the United Kingdom reported the most income with $10 billion followed by Indian born migrant taxpayers with $6.5 billion.
About two thirds of migrant taxpayers held a skilled visa, with most between 25 to 44 years of age.
The data showed that skilled migrant taxpayers:
- generated 65 per cent ($1.5 billion) of total personal income;
- reported $788.9 million in investment income (62 per cent of the total);
- recorded $215 million in other income, with males responsible for 77 per cent ($164.6 million); and
- were mainly employed as professionals (35 per cent) and managers (11 per cent).
Mining the highest paying industry
While the mining industry recorded the fourth lowest number of jobs held by skilled migrants (9,325) out of the 20 industries analysed by the ABS for the financial year, these migrants reported the highest median income of $83,329.
The Department of Immigration and Border Protection's latest quarterly statistical report on Subclass 457 visas tells a similar story, although the higher salaries illustrate the growth in wages that occurred during the resources investment and construction phase.
It reports that for primary applications granted in 2015-16 to 30 September 2015, the mining industry paid the highest average nominated base salary of $167,700. This figure increases to $218,600 when looking at total remuneration for the same period.
In the year to 30 September, there were 320 primary 457 visa applications granted for the mining industry. This represents a 45.2% fall on the year prior (580 granted to 30 September 2014).
Mining accounted for just 2.4% of all 457 visas granted during the period, well behind 'Other Services' at 15.9%, 'Accommodation and Food Services' at 13.1% and 'Professional, Scientific and Technical' at 12.6%.
