And welcome to your home away from home... a true getaway. Located in Squamish BC , Squamish BC V8B 0C2) – the outdoor recreational capital of Canada.
This house has 3 bedrooms upstairs with the kitchen attached to the living room; boasting a great open concept living space. As well, there is a large space downstairs that is being used as a fourth and fifth bedroom. This area is separated by sliding doors. with each room having its own entrance and access to the downstairs bathroom. And speaking of which this bathroom is a gem. With a great rain and side shower, its bright and features heated floors and a balinese petrified wood sink sitting on an impressive fir slab. It is maybe one of my favorite showers.
Add in the gas fireplace to the downstairs area that has full sized windows and tons of light there is no down side to making this your zone for your stay.
The entire upstairs living area and bedrooms are finished with beautiful fir flooring except the bathrooms - the main bath is cork flooring and there is heated slate in the en suite.
Our main bath is warm and inviting with slate accents and an wood slab vanity. The tub is ready for soaking and has air jets to help you relax after a strenuous day out playing in the mountains. The master bedroom has its own wonderful en suite that has heated floors, slated shower with a seat so you can sit and enjoy the rain shower that falls from above. Dimmer lights also a nice feature.
The other two bedrooms upstairs are also good sized and tastefully decorated each with ample closet space.
The kitchen is all butcher block with a classic country feel with all the needed amenities. And feel free to use the BBQ, slow cooker or the rice cooker for your favorite meals. Lots of pots and pans and a blender – everything you need to enjoy the spacious kitchen space. And while doing dishes is for the dishwasher provided, the sink is attractive enough to inspire at least one by hand washing. As u wish!
As mentioned the living space upstairs is an open concept with the fir floors and the artfully stoned wood fireplace taking center stage. The mantel piece is another piece of old growth wood and adds to the fireplaces allure. Cozy in and enjoy! Lots of wood is available to keep you cozy and warm. Also a guitar for the musically inclined.
Need to stay in touch? Use our wireless access anywhere in the house. As well enjoy apple tv:)
Outside, look across the street onto green space and beyond – feeling the power of the chief – the world's second largest granite monolithic rock – starring at u through the trees. Across the street and around the corner there are wooded paths that will allow you to enjoy a morning walk that will lead you to rivers and streams.. And if you have a four-legged friend that wants to share in the mountains... by all means… feel free. While we don't have a dog or any animals here we are open to well behaved pets and can help you with local dog sitters and walkers if need be.
If you like the idea of exploring the mountains by bike, there are numerous logging roads and for the more adventurous - an endless supply of world-class single track to keep you fit and engaged. And of course rock climbing just 10 mintues walk from our front door to smoke bluffs park and 5 minutes drive to the Chief parking lot.
More of a green thumb? Feel free to enjoy our in season organic garden that will offer you fresh vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers and even some wild blackberries. For those visiting in September - get ready to enjoy the sweet tasting apples off our organic apple tree or the fruits from our black plumb tree.
Any thing else you need? Let us know. I have worked many years in the service industry in both Whistler and Squamish and am well connected in all facets to help you make your stay most enjoyable.
We are very close to the site of the new world class Sea to Sky Gondola and very excited to have that so close for our guests and their families.
For those looking to enjoy Whistler's world-class resort we are 40 minutes to the Creek Side Gondola. As well, for backcountry enthusiasts we are very close to some great terrain. And of course… 'sled necks' - feel free.
Keywords: House, Squamish, rental, vacation,
Thanks for stopping by.
My name is William. I have lived in Squamish for over 13 years after being in Whistler for 10. I chose Squamish because of the community aspects, all the great activities it has to offer to keep people smiling and happy and its proximity to Vancouver and Whistler. I have various activities that keep me busy work wise but i tend to be drawn to social entrepreneurial pursuits.
I have spent the last many years renovating this home with the help of friends and family and I am happy and pleased that it feels like a beautiful country style home. I like getting the feedback on how the place just feels good. In my eyes... mission accomplished. But always a work in progress.Slowly slowly.
Come on by. You'll like it here.
Buena onda!
William Edmondson purchased this house in 2004
Squamish has it all. It has been deemed the out door recreational capital of Canada for a reason. Big mountains with the community feel - - all the activities one could ask for from golf to kite boarding to rock climbing to a selection of beautiful lakes within a short drive to just hang out at and swim in. As well, it is only 40 minutes away from two incredible locations. One being the city of Vancouver, the other being Whistler. Squamish offers a small town feel in one of the most powerful settings. For young and old - its a breath of fresh air!
Our home is tucked away from it all in a very quiet neighbourhood. This is not a cabin but is quiet enough it feel like it some times. We have great views and lots to choose from locally as well as easy access to a world class city in Vancouver as well as the well known tourist area of whistler - just 35 minutes to the Creekside gondola. The best of both worlds! And from the house's door step there is so much to do and see. With world class mountain biking, hiking and climbing literally at your back door and just a short dribe to the world's 5th ranked kiting spot - seriously - what else needs to be said!
Thanks for this, Will. We have to get our rental car back to Vancouver by 3pm, so won't be out later than noon. It's been a real pleasure staying here though - you've got a beautiful and super welcoming home. Thanks again for sharing it with us.
Happy new year!
Cute and decent-sized home - definitely suitable for families and family gatherings. We went up as a group of friends - and was advised by William that he was looking for more families for his home - we had a good time at the house, but definitely great for families!
William made himself readily available, and ensured his home was easily accessible - wifi information posted, TV all set up, had a good variety of pots and pans, even the towels lying in the beds!
The downstairs did seem a little unfinished with plywood flooring; however, the bathroom (shower especially) was amazing!!
Thank you for sharing your home with us!
Very disappointed with the hygiene and cleanliness. We have two young kids. The backyard which was fenced off had overgrown grass and shrubs. The front yard was decent but wasn't fenced off so was a bit dangerous for the kids to be playing soccer and running around. Definitely not recommended for anyone with children.
Plateau living is minutes from key locations in Squamish: the city-proper, the SeaToSky Gondola, the Adventure Center, hiking along Mamquam river & biking or hiking in Smoke Cliffs. The kitchen has a lot of cooking tools, the bathrooms are clean and fairly recently updated. The neighborhood was quiet. I'd stay here again!
It was as represented and all went well. We were treated fairly.
Awesome house and was able to accommodate a large crew. We had a great weekend stay!
This review is for www.vrbo.com/699896. We had booked 267113 but Will (who owns both properties) contacted us the day before our stay to let us know the property was experiencing maintenance issues and he offered us 699896 instead. Both places have similar layouts and features.
699896 was great for our large group of 4 individuals and 4 couples (one of which also had 2 children). 4 bedrooms had a queen bed each and two of those were big enough to put in cribs/mattresses for the kids. The 5th bedroom had 2 queen beds, cozy but doable for 4 people.
699896 was well equipped with everything we needed for the weekend. Lots of parking space outside. The upstairs kitchen/dining/living combined space saw a lot of action over the weekend with everyone socializing and kids playing. The kitchen and dining facilities were well stocked with cookware, dishes, utensils, and cleaning supplies. There was a second downstairs living room/kitchen area but we didn't use it much except for the fridge. There are outdoor decks upstairs and down which would be nice in the summer. The bedrooms were also well stocked, bedding on all the beds and ample towels for everyone. The house has a few rough edges (spots that need painting, loose fixtures, minor things) but certainly nothing to spoil a weekend with good company! It's not easy to find a place big enough for a getaway with this many people, it will be considered again next time (the price is comparatively quite reasonable).
The location was good, it was not far for everyone to come out from Vancouver and the lower mainland after work on a Friday. It also made for an abbreviated commute to and from Whistler for the skiers on Saturday.
Will was very helpful and responsive. We were in contact about everything that happened, good or bad, and everyone was happy in the end. He even gave us a jar of his brother's homemade honey as a welcome gift! Thanks Will, we had a lot of fun and made a lot of good memories :)

Dynamite products help plants grow and are kind to the environment
Many strides have been made by the lawn and garden industry to be more conscious of our natural environment. And Dynamite Plant Food has been a leader in green, sustainable gardening practices since 1990.
Black Gold Envirosafe sells only products that grow and nourish thriving plants. We are partners with millions of home gardeners who make the choice to use Dynamite for the best results with the least effort and least impact on our environment. Choose Dynamite Complete Plant Food for your flowers, vegetables, shrubs and trees. It's a smart choice that does not sacrifice performance while being environmentally sustainable.
Preventing Runoff
Dynamite Plant Food's patented coating technology is what minimizes the possibility of nutrient run off that often occurs with fertilizers and plant foods. The coating maintains integrity under periods of environmental stress and will not allow nutrients to 'flash out' or dump during high temperatures or heavy rain. This prevents the release of more fertilizer than the plant can absorb at any one time. Other granular or time release fertilizers allow heat and heavy rain to cause nutrients to run off into the groundwater.
Nitrogen source does makes a difference
Our advanced controlled release system delivers nutrients to your plants when they need them. This allows maximum uptake of nutrients to the plant while minimizing excess run off of nutrients into ground water.
Dynamite Complete Plant Food contains ammoniacal and nitrate nitrogen rather than cheaper urea nitrogen. A large majority of plants cannot absorb urea nitrogen until it is first broken down into ammoniacal and nitrate nitrogen forms. This is called the nitrification cycle and takes time for the urea to break down in the soil and become available to the plant roots. During periods of heavy rainfall, urea fertilizers is not absorbed by plants and is leached into the groundwater contributing to groundwater pollution. Environmentally friendly Dynamite Complete Plant Food is the preferable choice for homeowners over urea-based fertilizers and plant foods.

What does food mean to you? For many of us, food is more than just what we eat. Apart from giving the body the nutrition it needs, food can also be a representation of one's cultural identity or beliefs. In many parts of the world, food is also used for celebrating success, societal gatherings and new beginnings. Indeed, food is more than just sustenance.
Just like the rest of the world, Malaysians like me take our culinary arts seriously, too. Food is part of our culture, and it brings us together. We may come from different cultural and social backgrounds, but we all share one thing in common: we love to eat.
With so many wonderful Malaysian foods served all around the country, it's nearly impossible for me to decide which Malaysian foods are indeed the best, but these are 8 of my top choices I can't (or might never) get enough of.
1. Sarawak Laksa
An all-time favourite, Sarawak Laksa is a must-eat dish when dining in the Land of the hornbills. In Malaysia, there are many types of Laksa, which have their own unique tastes and looks. While they're all incredibly delicious, I find Sarawak Laksa to be my top favourite, perhaps because I grew up with it.
Laksa Sarawak is made of six different ingredients: rice vermicelli, shredded omelette, fresh prawns, strips of chicken, bean sprouts and sambal. And lime is served on the side. When combined, these ingredients make up a bowl of aromatic Sarawak Laksa that'll make you drink up all of its spicy soup. This is a dish I always look for whenever I return to my hometown. You can find some of the best Laksa stalls in Kuching.
A bowl of Sarawak Laksa used to cost less than RM4. Although you won't find that price anymore, the price you pay today for a satisfying bowl is somewhere around RM4.50 to RM6, which is definitely worth paying for. The more expensive ones usually offer more (or bigger) prawns.
Try it, and you'll understand why Sarawakians and even Anthony Bourdain love it. The dish is so good that you can even find it on board when flying business class with Malaysia Airlines.
2. Tomato Mee
It's not always easy to find this dish in West Malaysia, but you have better chances of finding it in East Malaysia. Tomato Mee is basically a noodle dish that's made of tomato sauce, noodle (crispy or flat), shredded chicken, seafood, egg, leafy vegetables, corn flour, and many more. The word tomato basically refers to tomato ketchup, whereas 'Mee' means noodle.
Crispy noodle and Kuey Teow (flat noodle) are typically used for preparing the dish. I personally like my noodle to be crispy, and it's important that only the right amount of tomato sauce should be poured on the noodle. When poured too much, the hot tomato sauce will make the noodle soggy.
There's another version of this dish that I like, which uses fried wontons instead of noodles. It's also very delicious. I highly recommend it to everyone, especially diners who love tomato ketchup. Even though chilli sauce is popularly consumed in Malaysia, there are diners who prefer tomato ketchup to chili sauce. This dish is also perfect for individuals who can't tolerate spicy food.
The taste of your tomato mee really depends on how it's cooked. There were a few of it I tried in the past, which I didn't like very much. But the one I tried at 7th Mile Kitchen was not bad at all. The stall is usually crowded, but you can always ask for takeaways. P.S. You can also find Sarawak Laksa there.
3. Nasi Lemak
Nasi Lemak is a fragrant rice dish that combines ingredients like rice, coconut milk, pandan leaf, anchovies, egg (usually hard-boiled), peanuts, sambal and cucumber. It's the national dish of Malaysia that can also be found in its neighbouring countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei and Thailand. Although it's commonly eaten for breakfast, it's also served throughout the day.
I never liked Nasi Lemak when I was in school. I was a fussy eater, and I never fancied Nasi Lemak. It just didn't look appealing to me. Almost everyone in school loved it except me. I didn't even want to taste it!
I only learned to like it when I tried my first Nasi Lemak in one of my university's canteens. The dish was simple, cheap, and awfully spicy, yet delicious. Since I had my first Nasi Lemak, I always had it for breakfast before attending my morning classes.
A packet of Nasi Lemak used to cost RM1, but you'll likely find the cheapest at about RM1-RM2 now. I don't like it when it's fancy. You can find many overpriced Nasi Lemak in mid-priced restaurants around the country.
If you ask any Malaysian locals, they'll likely tell you that the best Nasi Lemak are sold by the roadside, or in small Malay restaurants.
4. Kway Chap
100% non-halal, this pork dish is extremely yummy, but it's not for everyone. People who love it praise it for its aromatic broth and scrumptious braised pork. People who don't like it (or hate it) have all kinds of reasons to why this dish is the last thing they'll eat. Before I discuss with you about the love-hate relationship people have with this dish, I'll tell you all all about the dish first.
Kway Chap is a dish that features Kway, which is a soy sauce broth served with white rice sheets and a wide selection of pig parts. It's also served with a hard-boiled egg, fishcake and tofu. A hot chilli is usually served on the side to give it a spicy taste. You can mix the chilli with the whole broth, or simply dip your pork into the chilli instead.
I personally love the dish for its savouring broth and broad rice sheets. Since I'm not a big fan of pig organs, I usually don't eat them. My mom loves them a lot so she always helps me eat them instead. If you don't fancy eating pig organs, too, you don't have to include them in your broth. The price remains the same, though.
But you can let your Kway Chap seller know that you'd like to have more rice sheets or perhaps a whole hard-boiled egg. The hard-boiled eggs served in the Kway Chap I tasted before were usually cut into halves.
This is another dish I always look for when I return to my hometown. Although I find it good, not everyone is into it.
First of all, it's not meant for non-pork eaters. Secondly, not everyone fancies eating pig innards. I know some people who don't even like its broad rice sheets, which is why people like my dad exclude them from their Kway Chap. Those who don't like the herbal smell of 'Bak Kut Teh' (which is another wonderful dish found in Malaysia) will likely not be a fan of Kway Chap, too. And it's clearly not a vegetarian dish.
5. Kolo Mee
Another awesome dish from Land of the hornbills, Kolo Mee is an iconic dish of Sarawak. I haven't met any Sarawak locals who don't like it! The dish is simple, featuring char siew pork, noodle, spring onions, and many other wonderful seasonings and marinades.
Although it's typically served dry with a bowl of soup on the side, the dish can also be served as a soup noodle. You can also choose whether you want your Kolo Mee to come in plain form, or in the 'red version' whereby the noodle is mixed with char siew sauce to give it a more reddish appearance. The red version also tastes sweeter than the plain one. I like the plain form when it's served as a soup noodle, but I prefer the red version when it's served dry.
Although Kolo Mee is originally a non-halal dish, the halal version can also be found in Sarawak. Beef is used instead of pork. It doesn't taste like the non-halal version, but I find it very appetising, too!
6. Nasi Paprik
If you're into spicy food, I highly recommend Nasi Paprik. Nasi is Malay for rice, and Paprik or 'pad prik' is a Thai phrase where pad means stir-fry and prik means chilli. This rice dish is usually served with chicken or seafood, cooked with green beans, red onions, dried chillies, tomato sauce, lemongrass, vegetables, and many other local ingredients.
If you don't like plain white rice, you can opt for fried rice instead. The fried rice version offers more ingredients, and it also tastes a little better than the plain white rice version. As for me, I like to have my paprik with plain rice.
My friends from all around the world who tried this dish said they loved it. You should've seen their clean empty plates!
7. Char Kway Teow
The name of the dish literally means 'stir-fried ricecake strips'. It's a delicacy popularly served all around Malaysia, which can also be found in Brunei, Indonesia and Singapore. For many Malaysians and Singaporeans, Char Kway Teow is considered as a national dish and an all-time favourite.
Char Kway Teow is a dish that features stir-fried flat rice noodles mixed with shrimps, cockles, eggs, bean sprouts, soy sauce and spring onions. A highly-heated Chinese wok is used to prepare the dish, and while it's being cooked, you can usually see a long queue of people waiting for their orders. It's a typical situation to be in when you buy your Char Kway Teow from the streets. Hey, the best ones are usually the ones sold by the roadside!
Malaysian locals will likely tell you that Penang has the best Char Kway Teow in town. I admit that Penang has really good Char Kway Teow, but I also found some really good ones around KL. In fact, the state of Malacca has pretty decent ones, too.
When it comes to local food, Malaysians always know where to get the best food in the country. If the whole nation agrees that Penang has indeed the best Char Kway Teow in town, then you need to go there and try it for yourself.
When you do get to Penang, make sure you include Char Kway Teow into your list of must-eat Malaysian dishes. That way you'll understand why Penang locals are extremely proud of their Char Kway Teow!
Note: This dish is also vegetarian-friendly. It tastes really good even when the meat and seafood are excluded from the dish.
8. Roti Canai
I dare to say that everyone in Malaysia loves Roti Canai. It's basically an Indian-influenced flat bread that is served with curry and dhal on the side. The curry can either be a chicken or fish curry, or both types can also be served in one plate. Although it's very popular in Malaysia and Singapore, you can also find it served in Malay, Aceh and Minangkabau restaurants in Indonesia.
Malaysians love to have theirs at Indian and Mamak restaurants. The cheapest Roti Canai I ever paid for was RM1.20. There's a small Indian restaurant just in front of my previous apartment in Old Klang Road where my friends and I used to have our Roti Canai. It's so good and cheap. It's difficult to find restaurants that serve Roti Canai for RM1.20 in the city centre of Kuala Lumpur. You could be paying up to RM4 for it in fancy restaurants.
There are many other versions of flatbreads available around the country. My other favourites of flatbreads are Roti Telur (roti + egg), Roti Susu (roti + condensed milk) and Roti Bawang (roti + onions). They're slightly more expensive than Roti Canai, but they're all served with the same sides.
If you're a vegetarian, you can go to Brickfields to enjoy a nice plate of Roti Canai at Chat Masala.
An ENTP who's always thirsty for new adventures. Apart from music and writing, I'm also passionate about travel, art and entrepreneurship.

Definition of nuclear option
- … it is now unimaginable that we would use anything approaching the full measure of our military power (the nuclear option aside) in the wars we fight.
- —Shelby Steele
- The EU has most leverage over countries that are desperate to join. Once in the club, with full voting rights, countries can answer back, leaving their peers with only the nuclear option of trying to expel them.
- —The Economist
- Since Republicans can't muster the 60 votes necessary to overcome this particular filibuster, they now want to use their authority over Senate procedures to abolish the maneuver itself, at least for judicial nominees. Exercising this "nuclear option," as it is known, would theoretically require the support of just a simple majority of senators, which Republican leaders say they are on the verge of solidifying.

Michael Bublé will release his very first Christmas album next month (Oc11).
Michael Buble's Christmas will feature festive favorites including Bing Crosby's White Christmas, which he'll perform as a duet with fellow Canadian Shania Twain.
The crooner says, "Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year for me and my family, so naturally it's been a dream of mine to make the ultimate Christmas record."
But he admits it was a little odd to record the winter songs in the middle of a California heatwave: "We decorated the studio with Christmas lights in the middle of July (11) and that was a big help."
The singer's family has already given the newlywed's new album a big thumbs up.
He adds, "My mother told me it's the best record I ever made."
This will be Michael Bublé's first Christmas as model Luisana Lopilato's husband - the couple wed in March (11).

Nice game but so hard, you may add powerful weapons so the player can use it when he in the corner.
What do you use to make the darkness effect on the top layer, i'm searching for this effect for a long time.
Hi A0Nasser thanks for review, should sit down to make some weapons here.
The darkness effect is png screen with ( gradient radial - black to transparency ) with ( gaussian blur fx ) in any photo edit program.
In layer of construct 2 in top with no scrolling.
will tell ashley, to put atmosphere fx engine in construct.
Thank's for the effect tutorial, this better than using many webgl effects.

I love the graphics and the smooth animations!
But it's really to hard - and the control is not optimal - why i have to stand still while shooting?! Let's move slower while shooting, not stand still.
Hi Cherico thanks for review

She was cowboy boots for toddlers born for this kind of work and Ive never seen so much talent and self-assurance as I see in her at such a young age.' Eden, from Taylor, Arkansas, found fame on hit U.S. reality show Toddlers & Tiaras at an early age, but announced her retirement from pageants in July of last year, saying she wanted to focus on 'other projects.' According to her mother Micki that means embarking on a journey that she hopes could end in stardom. 'I think shes following in the footsteps of some pretty big people who have done pageants, like Oprah Winfrey.' (Oprah was voted Miss Black Tennessee when she was 18 years old).

Despite her daughter's busy workload though, Micki claims to have her priorities in order, telling ABC news that Edens happiness comes first, saying: 'As long as she enjoys what were doing, Mamas going to keep doing it. If it leads to the Miley Cyrus status or Selena Gomez, so be it. If it doesnt, thats fine, too.' Micki says she goes easy on the girl, saying that pushing her daughter too hard will 'destroy' her child, although there's no doubt Micki has high hopes for the little girl.

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo grounds were swarming Sunday afternoon with young girls in pink cowboy hats and boots, pink shirts and skirts, even pink boas, all for and you've gotta scream it Hannah Montana! So many fans visited the rodeo to see the pop star perform that they set a new paid attendance record of 73,295. The rodeo rookie's debut beat the previous mark set last year by 15-time RodeoHouston performers Brooks & Dunn by 428. It was obvious from the high-pitched screams that filled Reliant Stadium that Hannah Montana, a fictional Disney Channel character played by Miley Cyrus , did not let her fans down. "I loved it!" said Katie Estelle Klaff , 8, echoing the response of nearly every girl who was lucky enough to get a seat in the packed stadium. "She sings really loud and she danced a lot and she didn't just stand there." "It's like get up and dance!" said Maggie Boyle , 11, of Webster. Lots of girls did just that during the 30-minute concert, while moms and dads looked on.

Philip Merrill College Of Journalism - Bad Journalism School that Deceives all Undergraduate Broadcast Journalism Students and Minorities of an Opportunity
I am writing to you today as I wish to provide a formal complaint about the undergraduate broadcast journalism program at the University of Maryland's Philip Merrill College of Journalism. There must be more opportunities for students who aspire to be a television news reporter.
During my time at the College of Journalism, I applied to the Capital News Service TV's Broadcast Bureau (CNS-TV) and The ViewFinder, and was declined multiple times. There were no other further opportunities for undergraduate broadcast journalism students like me to be a television news reporter. The other non-Capital News Service and non-viewfinder capstone courses neither meet the undergraduate broadcast students' interest in television news reporting nor prepare them to be a television news reporter. I have already taken the initial steps to resolve this by speaking to the Undergraduate Dean: Olive Reid and the Dean of Academic Affairs: Rafael Lorente.
However, up to this point, they have failed to provide a satisfactory outcome nor resolved these problems, so I am taking the action to raise my concerns with you and to provide recommendations that should be taken seriously. The alternative option and the advice I was given by the Philip Merrill College of Journalism advisers was not successful, and has caused problems for me with news directors and recruiters well-known broadcast companies and its local television news station affiliates such as Sinclair Broadcast Group, Gray Television, TEGNA, Media General, Raycom Media, News-Press and Gazette, Nexstar Broadcasting Group and the E.W. Scripps Company who are requesting to see a reporter resume reel in television news, and I do not have one. I cannot even get a job as a television news reporter with your journalism school because I was neither given the opportunity to do Capital News Service by Ms.
Susan "Sue" Kopen-Katcef nor The ViewFinder by Ms. Bethany Swain (Chamberland). I am now forced to pay thousands and thousands of dollars to a private third-party company that invests in making resume demo reels for TV news and sports. There are students at the other universities, including the Philip Merrill College of Journalism who are resorting to this option among others where the current capstones, opportunities, and courses in the undergraduate broadcast journalism program are neither working in their favor nor their interest.
Because it is too late in my college career for the Philip Merrill College of Journalism to help me further in this matter and my career endeavors, I can no longer give you the full proper credit that your school helped me obtain a television news reporting/multimedia journalist job at a small television news station market. The Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland has already failed to help me as a student/aspiring television news reporter. I strongly recommend that you restructure the curriculum to help the current, new, and prospective students in the undergraduate broadcast journalism program. Concerns: The Philip Merrill College of Journalism is robbing undergraduate broadcast journalism students who want to be a television news reporter out of an opportunity to be a reporter for CNS-TV and/or The ViewFinder.
Not many of the undergraduate broadcast students can get into the Capital News Service Program or The ViewFinder. The Philip Merrill College of Journalism has made the excuse of saying, "there are not enough seats guaranteed for CNS-TV or The ViewFinder as we must make these seats available for the master's students and we do not have enough professors to teach the undergraduate sections." Financial resources and contributions are no excuse. These courses and opportunities are already guaranteed to master's students, but not to undergraduate students. I have seen some undergraduate broadcast journalism students doing both CNS-TV and The ViewFinder in consecutive semesters.
Then, some of the students who completed both opportunities or did one of them do not end up being a reporter, or anchor. Instead, they are seeking jobs as producers, production assistants, or another non-on-air roles. Others take jobs outside of journalism working in law firms, public relations firms or holding other non-journalism jobs. This strongly suggests that some of the undergraduate broadcast journalism students are taking CNS-TV and The ViewFinder for granted where the Philip Merrill College of Journalism and these undergraduate broadcast students selected to the courses are stealing these opportunities from other undergraduate broadcast journalism students who truly need these programs and opportunities in order to obtain employment as a television news reporter and/or a television news anchor.
There are no other reasonable options for them. The only options for the undergraduate broadcast journalism students who did not have an opportunity to CNS-TV and The ViewFinder due to the valid reasons mentioned above are as follows: Option 1: Obtain a resume demo reel/tape from a private company such as American Broadcast Talent (http://www.americanbroadcasttalent.com/ ), Showcase Resume Tapes (http://www.showcaseresumetapes.com/ ), Reel Media Group (http://www.reelmediagroup.tv/ ), Los Angeles Reporter Clinic (http://www.newsreporterreel.com/ ), Break Into TV (http://www.breakintotv.net/ ), and OAP Media Group (http://www.oapmediagroup.com/ ) among others. There are many of these private companies out there that offer these services, and it is very expensive. Not many of the undergraduate broadcast journalism students have the money to do this.
These companies only care about the money and not the individual using their service. It become very arduous and incommodious for the students to change the demo reel over time. Option 2: Go to graduate school. Students would have to go to journalism graduate schools such as CUNY School of Journalism, Columbia University's School of Journalism, and Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism (graduate level).
Not many of these journalism graduate schools including the University of Maryland's Philip Merrill College of Journalism lets any student in. It is very competitive and if a student cannot get admitted and/or does not have the financial means to attend, then they are out of an option with continued/post-baccalaureate education. Also, not all communication and journalism graduate schools are hands-on. There are some out there that only study the academia and communication theory as well as do not have a TV station where there are newscasts or a sportscast, a radio station, and/or a student newspaper.
Option 3: Be a desk assistant and/or a producer/production assistant at a TV news station or a TV news program. This is the last option that undergraduate broadcast students have to resort to. The problem with this option depends on the TV news station, broadcast company, or TV news program where there might not be an opportunity for the undergraduate broadcast journalism students to be promoted to a news reporter, if they are working as a desk assistant, news assistant, production assistant, any type of assistant, or producer. Some companies like the PBS NewsHour for instance do not have the option for their news assistants to be a reporter or a producer.
They can only be promoted into a production assistant position. Also, some of these jobs are temporary and may not provide benefits. One of the things that these companies will not provide to desk assistants, production assistants, news assistants, assistants, and producers and editors is to make their own resume demo reel tape. The individuals in those positions have to make a demo reel on their own.
The TV news stations, TV news programs, and broadcast companies will neither be liable nor responsible in making a demo reel. This means these students do not have the resources, such as a broadcast camera, DSLR camera, tripod, wireless mics, directional microphone, shotgun microphone, and other equipment necessary to make a demo reel. They might not have access to photographer/videographer and the news studio at their job to make a demo reel. What does this all mean for this option?
The Philip Merrill College of Journalism is forcing their students to do a job that they do not like and where they may never be an on-air television news reporter or a producer. The Philip Merrill College of Journalism is not doing enough for their undergraduate broadcast journalism students. Suggested Recommendations: Recommendation # 1: I would really like the Philip Merrill College of Journalism to please add more seats in Capital News Service Broadcast Bureau and The ViewFinder program, and make both of these programs guaranteed for all students, regardless of being an undergraduate or a master student so that the undergraduate broadcast journalism students are able to take advantage this opportunity, especially those like me that are truly here for the opportunity. Please open more bureaus for Capital News Service TV and The ViewFinder if they cannot do it at College Park, MD.
They must have other CNS-TV and The ViewFinder bureau options in Washington DC, Southern Maryland, Central Maryland, Delmarva Peninsula, Western Maryland, Central Virginia, Tri-Cities (VA-TN-NC), Eastern North Carolina, various areas of West Virginia and Virginia, Central Pennsylvania, Western Pennsylvania, various areas of Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and other locations through the United States. Also, please do a background check on all students applying to CNS-TV and The Viewfinder to make sure that the students who are doing this program are actually here for it. Take a second and third look at reporting candidates before making the final decision of having them in these programs and please consider doing in-person interviews at all times on-campus as well as comprehensively review their application and question it in the interview hiring process. This is also includes asking students to provide references who can vouch for them as well as employment and coursework history to know that they actually did journalism internships, a part-time or a full-time journalism job at a television news station, journalism-related extracurricular activities, and took specific courses at Philip Merrill College of Journalism and/or other competitive undergraduate journalism schools.
Recommendation # 2: The Philip Merrill College of Journalism must host a public/open information session forum multiple times per semester for all of their capstones, especially CNS-TV and The ViewFinder. Not many students know about these capstones until their final two years of college. This would be very important for all students - current students, freshman, but especially prospective students: transfer students (from the community college, four-year public in-state colleges and universities, liberal arts colleges and four-year private colleges and universities), high school students from public, private, and preparatory schools in all 50 states including Washington DC, and their parents so that they have options. CNS-TV and The ViewFinder and other capstones need to have an information session openly, honestly, and publicly where they tell current and prospective students the requirements for admission, what the phrase "send five video samples of your best work" and "upload a link of a package you shot and edited " really mean and what CNS-TV and the ViewFinder, especially for the broadcast side are actually and really looking from the undergraduate broadcast journalism students from an employment standpoint very similar to what a news directors/hiring manager is looking for in candidates/applicants seeking to be reporters at TV news stations and broadcast companies.
There must be transparency, honesty, and trustworthiness here. You need to tell them the truth because if the Philip Merrill College of Journalism does not have what a current or prospective student is looking for, they have the right to transfer to a better journalism program where the majority are out-of-state who are your competitors. This especially goes for in-state students who reside in Maryland. This flagship university is the only option for them as the 11 of our 12 universities under the University System of Maryland and the private Maryland colleges do not have a journalism program, no opportunities and resources for students to get a TV news internship and a job in TV news as a reporter/multimedia journalist, producer, or anchor.
I have been at one of those institutions and witnessed it firsthand. If Philip Merrill College of Journalism fails to rectify the problem in the near future, you will lose your students. Strongly rest assured that your students will go to other undergraduate journalism schools, such as Ohio University's E.W. Scripps' School of Journalism, University of Missouri's School of Journalism, Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, Syracuse University's S.I.
Newhouse School of Public Communications, University of Miami's School of Communications, University of Florida's College of Journalism and Communication, University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications, University of North Carolina's School of Media and Journalism, West Virginia University's Reed School of Media, Marshall University's The W. Page Pitt School of Journalism and Mass Communications, Hofstra University's Department of Journalism/Media Studies/Public Relations, Pennsylvania State University's College of Communication, Elon University's School of Communications, Howard University's School of Communications and other schools whose programs and newscasts reporting/videography opportunities are guaranteed to all undergraduate students once being admitted into the program. Recommendation # 3: The Philip Merrill College of Journalism must add more videography courses for students who do not feel the skills are strong enough or up to par after either taking JOUR 203, JOUR 262, and JOUR 361 or both. They need improvement courses for these skills since they will be doing this for both the short and long term if they decide to be a reporter/multimedia journalist, anchor, or producer at a TV news station and in hands-on journalism internship and part-time or full-time journalism employment opportunities that require these skills .
News directors and hiring managers look for these skills. Please also have a separate beginner level and intermediate level classes on DSLR videography so that students can prepare to do The ViewFinder. Please also have a separate beginner level and intermediate photography class besides JOUR 370: Photojournalism course which is not enough. Recommendation # 4: Provide more help to students who need assistance in having a broadcast voice.
JOUR 368T: On Camera Performance course does not solve everything. You need to start this earlier as soon as the students enter the Philip Merrill College of Journalism. Have a beginner class and an advance class as well as one-on-one voice coaching for those who truly need it. Recommendation # 5: Please provide tutors for JOUR 203: Multimedia Skills, but especially JOUR 262: News Videography (Broadcast Field and Studio Production) and JOUR 361: Television Reporting and Production respectively for students who may need more one-on-one help improving and grasping the skills than what the course and the professor can provide as not many professor and other student classmates in enrolled in the courses have the time.
Please hire more full-time professors instead of adjunct professors for undergraduate broadcast journalism students to better decide which professor is really right for them and has equal amount of time for them. Recommendation # 6: Please have more "Television Reporting and Production" and "News Videography" classes very similar to JOUR 361 and JOUR 262 respectively for news reporters earlier in the semester. A beginner's class is that students can get help before J361/J262, during J361/J262, and after J361/J262 before doing CNS-TV and The Viewfinder. Identify students who may need help or will have significant difficulty getting admitted into The ViewFinder and CNS-TV.
Recommendation # 7: Help students with learning disabilities who are broadcast journalism majors. They are strongly underrepresented and not represented at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism. Many of them do not get help and are constantly discouraged by faculty members at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism in pursuing aspirations in being a reporter, anchor, or producer. CNS-TV and The ViewFinder have never had a reporter with a learning disability in their program representing the disabled community nor a reporting beat on disabilities.
You need to do more for this community and these students. If the University of Maryland's Disability Support Services (DSS) are not doing anything for learning disabled students, then who else will? Please also have more undergraduate students of color in the CNS-TV and The ViewFinder programs as they are not diversified enough. Only 2-10 percent of minorities are represented in these programs.
Give more opportunities to minority students of colors, disabled students, military students, and the LGBT students. Hire more professors from these underrepresented communities for all of the hands-on courses, especially CNS-TV and The ViewFinder. All communities must be represented. The Philip Merrill College of Journalism needs to do more.
Recommendation # 8: Provide employment support, job search preparation, and employment guidance to all alumnis of the journalism school, especially recent undergraduate graduates. Many of the recent undergraduate journalism graduates are having difficulty finding employment in the journalism profession, especially in broadcast journalism. They truly do not have support or guidance from the school. These graduates feel very alone and isolated as the Philip Merrill College of Journalism is not doing anything to help them; and therefore, have abandoned these graduates and left them to navigate the job search process alone.
This especially applies to recent broadcast journalism graduates who did not had an opportunity from the Philip Merrill College of Journalism to participate in CNS-TV and The ViewFinder. The professors, adjunct professors, lecturers and all other faculty members have provided little to no support. The graduates are unprepared for the broadcast journalism television news profession as news directors and hiring managers are not taking them seriously in all stages of the job search process. In closing, the Philip Merrill College of Journalism really needs to step up to the plate and help the undergraduate broadcast journalism students.
If you do not help them or make any changes in regards to restructuring the undergraduate broadcast journalism program and its curriculum, you will lose your students. Again, you will lose your students. Rest assured: if the Philip Merrill College of Journalism fails to rectify the problem in the near future, you will lose your students.
Strongly rest assured that your students will go to other undergraduate journalism schools whose programs are better than yours and have more opportunities, and courses for their students. I hope that these conflicts are fully successfully rectified in the future.
Review about: Philip Merrill College Of Journalism Broadcast Journalism Program.
Reason of review: Bad quality.
I didn't like: Cannot do capital news service tv nor the viewfinder, Sue kopen-katcef, Bethany swain, No actual support or services for learning-disabled students, School does not help you find a job no jobs.
Great Comment! Would You Like to Convert It Into Review?You will be able to edit the text before publishing.
Terms of Service
This complaint clearly shows the real reason you didn't get hired. You lack basic communication skills.
This was nauseatingly verbose, filled with endless redundancies, and you clearly have never heard of the AP Stylebook, much less seen a text on proper grammar and punctuation.
As a broadcast and print journalist for more than thirty years, I can tell you definitively that no News Director with a shred of credibility would hire you with a writing sample as horrendous as the one you have posted here.
The best thing you can do for yourself is face the facts.
Your problem has nothing to do with the school, your ethnicity, gender preference or anything else. From what you have written here, you simply lack the chops to do the job and still have a great deal to learn.
You don't anything 30-year broadcast/print journalist veteran. So, shut up.

Criticisms Hit ICO for 'Error of Judgment' On ACS:Law Data Protection Lapses
A data privacy group has slammed on Tuesday the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) for reducing the financial penalty against a law firm charged with violating data protection laws because it had gone dormant.
Information Commissioner Christopher Graham received criticisms from Privacy International for slashing the fines of £200,000 against ACS:Law, as he initially announced, to only £1,000 after the law firm has stopped trading.
The ICO was previously criticized by privacy groups when it gave Google Inc. only a slap on the wrist after the search giant's Street Views cars inadvertently collected highly sensitive data of German users last year. Google could have been fined £500,000 but the ICO had reduced the penalty to an undertaking in which the search giant vowed to improve the way it handles personal data.
Yesterday, the ICO fined ACS:Law solicitor Andrew Crossley with £1,000 after he had allegedly violated the Data Protection Act when details of thousands of file sharers in the law firm's Web site were leaked September last year.
According to Graham, the law firm could have been fined £200,000, given the severity of the data breach, had it not ceased its business. The responsibility to pay the fine falls on Crossley as he was a sole trader, Graham noted.
The penalty would then beat ICO's largest fine so far, which was imposed on Hertfordshire County Council after its employees sent personal data of sexually abused children to wrong recipients twice through fax.
Privacy International director Simon Davies said the information commissioner has just created a "corporate loophole" for companies that violate the Data Protection Act in his decision.
According to Davies, the decision tells company directors that they can violate the Data Protection Act and put the firm's business to a halt for a moment to avoid getting penalized.
Davies described Graham's ruling to be "another monumental error of judgement" and accused the ICO of failing to understand the implication of the decision.
He was quoted by reports as saying the ruling could mean that "the basis of corporate immunity is closure of a company."
However, Graham defended his decision, saying "penalties are a tool for achieving compliance with the law and, as set out in our criteria, we take people's circumstances and their ability to pay into account."
In September 2010, the ACS:Law Web site suffered distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack launched by hacktivist group Anonymous, resulting in the leakage of personal details of thousands of file sharers.
The Web site has been the subject of several hacking forums due to its controversial actions against people it charges with illegal file sharing.
In his decision favoring the defendants over ACS:Law's illegal file sharing claim last month, Judge Birss described Crossley's actions to be "amateurish and slipshod" and said he "brought the legal profession into disrepute."
Birss ruled that Crossley breached the solicitors' code of conduct when his law firm sent thousands of letters to people who were accused of illegal downloading. The letter sought about £500 in settlement.

Biking on Catalina Island
Many tourists and residents alike prefer biking in the Catalina Island area. Why? First, it's important to understand that traffic is a problem here. The Conservancy organization maintains control over most of the land and prefers to keep it true to nature and very undeveloped. The few roads that are paved tend to be small, so biking on Catalina Island is often the logical choice. This immediately creates a problem for motorists. In fact, the situation reaches a critical stage several years ago, when local officials required all motorists to get a permit for their vehicles.
This situation, along with the lovely scenery of the island, has prompted many passengers to cycle their way to work and to recreational facilities. The island itself is only 22 miles long, and very easy to walk or run. What are some popular spots on the island in which you can see bicyclers traveling? The Avalon area has Pebbly Beach, the Catalina Casino and the Wrigley Memorial and Botanic Garden, all of which are ideal for biking.
Biking on Catalina Island is great exercise and fun
If you wish to bike on Catalina Island out of town then you will need a Bike Pass from the Conservancy Office on 125 Clarissa Avenue. Once you do this, you are free to travel into the hills, seeing such sites as Chimes Tower and Hogsback. You are also allowed to camp in the vicinity. Where are some stores that rent bicycles? Brown's Bikes on Pebbly Beach charges low prices and offers group rentals and baby seats. However, you must keep the bike within Avalon unless you join the Catalina Island Conservancy.
Bikes are allowed on the roads and each boat company does handle bike transport. Before attempting to bike on Catalina Island a long distance, make sure you are in fit shape, have plenty of water and perhaps a few energy snacks. Biking is fun but it can be exhausting if you plan on traveling long distances.
Come see the full beauty of the island on a bicycle. Feeling that Mediterranean breeze through your hair is worth the extra effort!

Thundercloud employee spotlight: black belt karate master Aaron Alt
ThunderCloud Subs is a local treasure not only for its tasty subs, but for its wealth of talented, creative, and passionate employees. Many regular customers of the Burnet Road and Anderson Lane store are familiar with manager Aaron Alt, but most probably don't know he has a second-degree black belt in karate.
Aaron has managed his ThunderCloud for more than a decade and has worked for the company for more than 18 years. Starting out as a part-time sub maker while attending college, Aaron says he never imagined he'd be where he is now. The relationships he's built with his ThunderCloud team and customers, and his respect and gratitude for co-owners Andy, John, Mike and Patty, continue to fuel his passion for his work at ThunderCloud Subs.
Aaron discovered another of his passions while working at ThunderCloud—a style of karate called Uechi-Ryu, based on the movements of the tiger, dragon, and crane that was introduced in the United States in 1958.
Aaron grew up watching the movie Karate Kid and practiced taekwondo when he was younger, but hadn't been practicing when a former ThunderCloud employee introduced him to Uechi-Ryu and encouraged him to try it. The two worked together learning new techniques and training, and after six years of hard work and patience, Aaron recently received his second-degree black belt. He flew to Connecticut in July where he and 40 other people from across the country spent five days testing for different belt degrees. Out of the 40, eight people came from the Uechi-Rye Austin, the local dojo (much like a studio), where Aaron trains.
Aaron hopes to one day open his own dojo to teach people the art of karate like he learned from his Sensei (or teacher), and he also hopes to visit Japan in the future.
Until then, Aaron practices at his dojo several days a week and fills in as a teacher occasionally. (You'll likely catch him there on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.) Another Austin hot spot where you might find Aaron when he's not working at ThunderCloud is Waterloo Records, where he goes to expand his extensive vinyl collection. Some of his other favorite Austin haunts are the Greenbelt, Barton Springs, and the Drag area of Guadalupe St.
If you haven't already met Aaron, be sure to stop by the Burnet Road and Anderson Lane store to say hello and try out his favorite sub: Egg Salad with avocado and jalapeno added, which he calls the "Dojo Delight".

By A. BARRATT BROWN (Principal of Ruskin College, Oxford)
In the first place there is no question that the machine has eliminated a large amount of sheer toil, or heavy and exhausting labour. To a large extent it has, as we say, " taken the backache out of industry." That it has not done so more completely is due to the fact that labour- saving machinery is most often introduced not to save labour but to save labour costs. Further, the machine has eliminated a great many kinds of monotonous labour. If we think of sewing before the sewing-machine, of sawing before the steam-saw, or of the monotonous and repetitive operations involved in wrapping and folding by hand or even in clerical work now done by the printing press, the typewriter and the adding-machine, we realise that while new forms of repetitive work have come in, there are at least as many more that have gone out.
Moreover, the situation changes with changing develop- ments in machinery itself. In the earlier stages of mechanisation and in particular of mass-production, there is a great deal of machine-tending which is monoton- ous, mechanical and de-humanising. But just because it is mechanical it is work of a kind that can be further mechanised. A little machine has recently been invented which automatically adjusts a washer to a screw ; and it is precisely the more monotonous and repetitive pro- cesses that are often capable of being further mechanised and handed over to more and more automatic machinery. That is why M. Henri de Man arrives at the paradoxical conclusion that " the best way of de-mechanising work is to hand it over to a Machine." We may indeed hope that human labour will become—in so far as it is mechan- ised—not the mechanical and monotonous work of human robots, but the skilled and interesting work of human supervisors and engineers.
How far is skill advancing or receding under the con- ditions of machine industry ? It is too soon to say even of muscular dexterity and artistic craftsmanship that they are passing away. An I.L.O. observer reports that in Europe today not only does the number of persons engaged in handicrafts still exceed the number engaged in large-scale industry, but also the machine has actually created additional tasks for hand-skills in finishing, dressing, fitting and other competing jobs. It must fur- ther be remembered that mass-production is not applic- able to a great many industrial undertakings, and that factory work—whether mass-production or not—only accounts for probably less than 25 per cent. of the total volume of employment. Moreover, of recent years the decline in the number of factory workers has been mainly in the number of unskilled " or " semi-skilled " workers. Machinery, which begins by displacing skilled workers by Unskilled, ends by displacing unskilled workers by auto- matic machines run by skilled workers. Today there is an increasing demand for highly-skilled workers, and that not only in the engineering industry. And if some skills are receding, new forms of skill are coming in, less special- ised and calling for more adaptability and versatility, but often involving a degree of accuracy and scientific efficiency never hitherto attained.
The common assumption that the mechanisation and rationalisation of industry are accountable for a large proportion of unemployment is not in accordance with the facts. The machine, though a contributing factor, is by no means the main factor, in the spread of unemploy- ment. Short-run displacement certainly arises either from the diminution of the total labour force in a given concern or from the substitution of semi-skilled juvenile and often female labour for that of older male- workers. But two things stand out—the stability in the number of skilled workers in mechanised concerns over a period of years, and the fact that unemployment is worst where mechanisation is least evident and least where mechanisa- tion is most evident. Moreover, while it is admitted that there is a time-lag and technological unemployment, two factors that are likely to compensate in the long run for the displacement of labour by mechanisation are the lowering of real costs and the additional purchasing- power in the community arising from cheaper prices of goods or from higher wages. The twofold need of today is a distribution of purchasing-power to enable the mass of the people to employ each other's skills and services and a distribution of trained and " provisioned " leisure to enable people to " employ themselves " when not otherwise employed..
There are subtler psychological effects of mechanisation that are not sufficiently taken into account. There is the inevitable regimentation of work consequent on the need to use mechanical plant with the greatest .possibilc regu- larity and economy. The effect on the worker may be most simply described by saying that there is a world of difference between " knocking off " and " clocking off." There is, further, an increasing amount of " speeding up " with a consequent increase of nervous tension. Machinery over whose speed and rhythm the worker has no control, machinery that " sets the pace " and dominates the worker's operation and its rate, is likely to set up a sense of strain. Again, the sheer scale of moderii industry involves the loss of personal and social relationships and the feeling among workers, who have no longer a name but a number, that they are merely impersonal and replaceable parts of a vast machine. But while these ill effects frequently result, there are some formi of machine- work which are calculated to enhance the personality and self-esteem of the worker. It depends on whether the machine is running you or you are running the machine. Anyone who operates a machine over whose tempo and movement he exercises control feels something of the sense of enhanced power, as every motorist knows. The man who is doing or making•something with the help of a machine feels that he is working with the machine in a partnership that is all the pleasanter because he remains the senior partner.* It is a frequent charge against mechanical civilisation that it is making for standardisation. The term needs clearer definition than is usually given -to it. In a technical sense it means the use of standard units of measurement and the standard production of inter- changeable parts which facilitates the processes of mass- production. Along with " simplification," or the attempt ,to reduce the number of sizes and varieties in the products of manufacture, it conduces to efficiency and the elimin- ation of waste. Nor can it be said to imperil as yet the individuality of the consumer. My individuality is not seriously violated by the fact that I have today 25 varieties of blackboard slate to choose from instead of 250 as in the past.
One of the consequences of mass-production is the enormous quantity of standard commodities, from motor-cars to match-boxes. Here again the range of * These observations are based on an enquiry among machine. workers, the full results of which are embodied in my book on The Machine and the Worker. choice is ample, as any sales catalogue will show ; and we need to remember that consumption in pre-mechanical times and countries is standardised at a low level. The real trouble is not so much the standardisation of useful commodities as the multiplication of useless ones-the bewildering number of gadgets and gewgaws on which we are tempted to waste time and money. It is vulgar- isation rather than standardisation that is the evil to be deplored—the emphasis on quantity rather than quality, and on changing fashions rather than durability.
There is, however, another kind of standardisation which is rendered possible, though not inevitable, by the machine. While the mechanical means of communi- cation promote variety, the mechanical reproduction of records promotes uniformity. The Press, the radio, the gramophone and the film reduplicate vast masses of identical material, and may be exploited with a view • to standardised propaganda and mass-suggestion. Far more important to the Dictatorships of today than the machine-gun is the machine-voice.
The chief safeguard against the dangers of a machine- made civilisation is to be found in the kind of education that gives to its citizens independence of mind, a sense of proportion, and a standard of values ; and the kind of education that equips them not only or mainly for the work they have to do but for the leisure which they will possess increasingly. The test of a liberal education is to be found in what it leads ordinary people to do with themselves in their leisure time.
The machine then is neither god nor devil. The evils which we associate with it are mainly due either to the use to which we put it (as in mechanical warfare) or to the failure to decide what use it is best worth putting to. While Vulcan is not a worthy object of worship, there are other false gods far more baneful than Vulcan, and the worst evils are far more likely to come upon us from the worship of Mammon and the worship of Mars.

The Fiji Impact Program aims to offer Fijian women educational and financial opportunities to start, develop and grow sustainable income.
You can join SEED and the South Pacific Business Development in monitoring and evaluating progress of the growth of Fiji's micro-businesses.
Being part of this project was an incredible experience! The SPBD staff and clients had so much to share with us that my overall knowledge of Microfinance is a lot more comprehensive and my understanding of development in general has increased significantly
– Rose Dickson, Former Director of Microfinance
How you will impact change
You will take part in the Member Satisfaction Survey to gather information from local Fijian micro-businesses
You would spend three weeks on the field interacting with Fijian women to improve micro-businesses
You would then provide a comprehensive report and recommendations for future practices and improvements to SPBD
This trip seeks to improve the businesses and livelihood of 6,500 Fijian businesses.
The SEED Fiji Impact team had their last day in the South Pacific Business Development (SPBD) Fiji offices on Friday after three intense weeks traveling across the Fijian Islands surveying 372 women. Rose, Clemency, Kerrie and Hasara have been undertaking Member Satisfaction Surveys as part of an ongoing partnership to solidify SPBD's monitoring and evaluation processes.
If there had been any doubt as to whether students could add value to such an established professional environment as SPBD, that was washed away after the first day in the field. Not only is there minimal capacity for M&E within the current team of dedicated field officers, the confidentiality of the surveys, and the SEED team's independence from SPBD, drew a multitude of honest responses. So as the days turned into weeks the team grabbed the opportunity to run two focus groups.
The first was with a group of new members enquiring about their expectations and hopes for SPBD and how they saw access to the unique offering of loans combined with savings groups benefiting their businesses, families and communities. The second involved a handful of Centre Chiefs, Centre Secretaries and Financial Education Facilitators who were given a confidential space to discuss SPBD and its range of products and services. In each of these focus groups the energy was endless and the conversation continuous, which allowed our team to gather a comprehensive list of suggested improvements to present back to SPBD Fiji.
It was also excellent to learn how the report submitted by last year's team had been taken on board, and to see changes and improvements already implemented across the company. It has been an incredible start to 2017, from listening to harrowing stories of post-Cyclone Winston recovery to marvelling at the entrepreneurialism surfacing as a direct result of access to capital.
After a few days of reorienting themselves to Melbourne life again, the team will work over the next month to input everything into their database and compile the 2017 report with recommendations for best practice moving forward, ensuring SPBD continues to be one of the top providers of Microfinance in Fiji.

Client MMA Fighter Joe Torrez CLEARED of wrongdoing in New Years home invasion!
Yesterday was a triumph for Joe Torrez when he was finally cleared by the District Attorney's office in the New Year's home invasion. It was the result we had been fighting for since this case began. Joe's case united people around New Mexico, the United States, and the entire world and we are grateful for the support we received. The support we received fueled Joe's defense and helped us carry the fight forward.
Joe's case exemplifies why retaining a lawyer for representation at the earliest opportunity is critical to a good outcome.
It is highly likely that Joe would have been arrested had he not had his defense team placing themselves between him and the State of New Mexico. Joe might have spent all this time sitting in jail cell while the State of New Mexico came to the same conclusion that the defense did, that Joe acted in self-defense and did not commit a crime.
It was a great day for the American justice system, but more importantly, it was a great day for our client and his family.
Thank you for your support.

Reiki is the Japanese practice of spiritual healing. Reiki focuses on the holistic approach of the mind body connection by allowing the Godforce or lifeforce to purify the spirit with a high energy field. If an individual's Reiki is low their life force is blocked similar to a long line of traffic in a traffic jam. This blocking of the life force causes an individual to become low energy Reiki. The low energy Reiki is responsible for illness on the physical plane.
When the life force becomes unblocked and the positive life force flows through the body, the result is a high energy Reiki. The individual will experience the feelings of happiness, lightness, connectedness and centeredness with the universe. Once the individual has reached this plane of spiritual peace they will begin to heal on the physical plane. The high energy Reiki lifeforce will flow through every cell in the individual's body and energize those areas of weakness.
In order to unblock the lifeforce an individual undergoes a Reiki treatment.
To practice the administration of Reiki an individual must surrender to the forces of the lifeforce and become attuned. A Reiki master grants this attunement by placing his hands on the individual's forehead, shoulders and hands. The Reiki master transfers his channeling of the lifeforce into the student by breathing in a spiritual rhythm.
In turn, the student will be able to attune this transference of energy into the patient. The healer will lay hands on an individual until lifeforce has been transferred. Reiki time is not akin to time as physical laws define. Time of transference is dependant on the need of the patient in that area of their body. The healer senses this with their hands and will not move until the lifeforce is transferred in that area.
This transference of lifeforce invigorates the healer and the healed; their experience is greater than an individual experience. This sharing of the lifeforce elevates the sense of empowerment, strength, clear thinking and general well-being.
Reiki is not a religion yet it is spiritual in nature. The lifeforce is neither positive nor negative. The energy force is a constant and is free to anyone willing to tap into it. The lifeforce is like a spiritual bank where individuals have an unlimited balance.
Reiki is steeped in eastern thought promoting the theory that we are all connected on every level both spiritually and physically. If an individual becomes energized from an empowered Reiki treatment and their lifeforce is high it not only benefits the patients, but all of mankind as well.
Join us for updates, sales, new products & all your spiritual needs.
