… ☞☞☞ … On 21 May 2012 the Victorian Government is conducting an inquiry into the absence of professional standards in the Australian (legal) profession, and at the broad intersection of the legal profession with the upper benches of all three branches of State and Federal government (benches that these days look like little more than an exclusive lawyers club) … ☞☞☞ …
This unprecedented and history making trial starts at 10.00 am on Monday 21 May 2012 and will be held at 55 King Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
This hearing (sub-named Michael McGarvie – Legal Services Commissioner v Harold James Johnson) will be the biggest Australian whistleblowing, corruption exposing, media event of 2012.
48 yo Melbourne-born journalist, whistleblower, political activist & human rights lawyer @JamesJohnsonCHR will lead a Victorian Government Tribunal (and an A-List Roll Call of some of the very good, many of the very bad, and lots of the very ugly of Australia's ruling legal elite) through a thorough investigation into the absence of professional standards in the Australian legal profession. The investigations will include the broad intersection of the legal profession with the upper benches of all three branches of State and Federal Government in Australia (benches that these days look like little more than an exclusive lawyers club).
A "who's-who" of many of Australia's most powerful lawyers, including current and past State and Federal parliamentarians, ministers, judges, bureaucrats and barristers have been summoned to attend for questioning by the Tribunal. [names and details to be published at http://LawyerocracyOnTrial.Wordpress.com , shortly.]
This is an open invitation to the media and to the public to attend the hearings. Come and, look, listen, laugh and learn as leading Australian lawyers, lawmakers, governmen and governwomen (the Australian lawyerocracy elite) are put on trial and compelled to answer questions that they have been avoiding, for generations.

A Quick Introduction to Lawyerocracy on Trial
This must rank as one of the more singularly stupid examples of unelected government officialdom gone wrong, misusing public monies and regulatory powers to pursue a political agenda of silencing a truth-teller and a whistleblower.
Mr Michael McGarvie, the privileged younger son of former Governor of Victoria, Richard McGarvie, and himself the former Chief Executive Officer of the Supreme Court of Victoria and the current, bicephalous Victorian Legal Services Commissioner and Chief Executive of the Legal Services Board is doing his utmost to become the first Victorian government official to be jailed (for up to 2 years) for criminal reprisals against a whistleblower – in violation of section 18 of the the still untested Victorian Whistleblower Protection Act 2001).
James Johnson is highly regarded for his "very high" intelligence, and his "impressive" natural abilities as lawyer, economist, journalist, playwright, filmmaker and raconteur. James is a whistleblower on government and lawyer corruption, a constitutional human rights solictor and barrister of more than twenty-years good standing, including many professional and corporate appointments, including 3 years as Chairman of the Law Institute of Victoria's GST Taskforce and 5 years as a monthly columnist for the prestigious Victorian Law Institute Journal.
Mr Michael McGarvie and his team of more than a dozen of his staff are illegally harrassing Mr Johnson for a 3rd time, trampling on the most fundamental of human rights, by pursuing yet again the same set of malicious, criminally defamatory, false claims of professional misconduct that were levied against Mr Johnson over 3years ago, and investigated and dismissed by his office and delegates 2¾ times previously.
Ironically (and damningly) at the same time Mr McGarvie and his team are refusing to comply with two sets of Supreme Court rulings (obtained by Mr Johnson in late 2008 and again in 2009) where the Supreme Court confirmed (contrary to the wishes of Mr McGarvie's Office, and the wishes of his disgraced predecessor Ms Victoria Marles) that his Office was legally obliged to investigate Mr Johnson's whistleblowing reports on the criminal behaviours of his false accusers.
- Small wonder that shortly after her regulatory scheme was scrapped by the Bracks-Brumby-Hulls Labor Administration in what was seen as a blatant political act taken in order "to keep the lawyers happy", the former Kennett-Stockdale appointed independent and consumer orientated Victorian Legal Ombudsman, Kate Hamond, roundly condemned the lack of support for her and her office by publicly protesting the large numbers of "dumb and evil, … almost sociopathic" lawyers on the prowl in Victoria as at 2005. These are the "frequent flyers" as the two-decades long-standing New South Wales Legal Services Commissioner Steve Marks calls these large number of, typically suburban family lawyers, whom he too refuses to investigate or prosecute.
- Small wonder that in a damning 2009 Annual Report to the Victorian Parliament on the disgraceful lack of standards within the Legal Services Commissioner, Victoria's State Government Ombudsman George Brouwer reported of a lawyer-captured regulator which all but carrys on a protection racket for incompetent, crooked and corrupt lawyers, getting away with it by keeping up the appearance (and perhaps the reality) of being one of worst, most dysfunctional regulatory bodies in the history of industrial regulation anywhere.
- Small wonder that in recent years Federal Attorney-Generals and State Attorney-Generals have warned of the general absence of professional ethics and standards in the legal profession "Lawyers let you down" while retired Judges have warned of too many "Barristers not up to the job"
- Small wonder that public, lawyer and international criticisms of Australia's shocking and scandalous Judge made laws of 2005, whereby Australia's 6 highest ranking lawyers, (The High Court of Australia, by a majority of 6:1 – Justice Michael Kirby fearlessly dissenting) created legal privileges unheard of anywhere else in the world, to the effect that Australia's (litigation) lawyers are the only Australians and the only lawyers in the world who can commit workplace (court room) negligence "and worse", and on a horrific scale, without being legally liable to compensate their victims: see http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/sinodisp/au/cases/cth/HCA/2005/12.html (And see also the 'deeply troubling' http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/sinodisp/au/cases/vic/VSC/2012/87.html?stem=0&synonyms=0&query=goddard%20elliot reported in http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/more-news/ancient-law-lets-negligent-firm-dodge-975k-payment/story-fn7x8me2-1226299278377
It seems that:
- in blatant contravention of UN and international human rights laws and declarations, far older and ancient English laws of human rights going back to 1215 and 1689 (Royal British laws recognised in the United States and even in places like Guantanamo Bay, but not in Australia),
- in violation of the Australian Constitution, and concepts of justice, democracy and the rule of law (variously expressed as "one law for all", and "equality of all under the law"),
as recently as 2005 Australia's elite twenty-first century lawyers (3 of whom remain amongst our current 7 High Court of Australia judges 7 years later) have abolished or treated with ignorance and contempt (over Justice Michael Kirby's most powerful dissent) centuries of constitutional human rights to equality under the law. They have done this, in order to create this unique Australian paradise where Australian litigation lawyers are not only "more equal than other" Australians, but are elevated to a privileged status above and beyond the law. Why? And how can this be legitimate?
Come along to the Lawyerocracy on Trial on 21 May 2012, 55 King Street Melbourne:
- To find out if the High Court, and corrupted legal regulatory 'god fathers' like Michael McGarvie, Victoria Marles and Steve Marks have all but abolished professional standards for lawyers.
- And to find out if they can use their regulatory powers and run a protection racket protecting bad lawyers from investigation, and even from public criticism.
- And to find out how they can get away with taking their protection racket to a new level by defying Whistleblower Protection legislation and Supreme Court rulings, abusing their government powers and public funding to engage in serial reprisals to silence whistleblowers such as James Johnson (all the while not going after so many other whistleblowers such as former legal regulator Kate Hammond, or former Attorney-Generals or former Supreme Court and High Court Judges, and all the while defying Supreme Court of Victoria orders by actively covering-up and refusing to even investigate open and shut cases of criminality and corruption against James Johnson's false accusers).

Thank You
Well, I came home today and the letter from Diane Haddad was still in my inbox. So it's real.
Diane's letter was actually not the first e-mail that hit my eye. I saw several e-mails that contained comments from Greta's Genealogy Bog, and that's when the news first hit me. So I actually learned through the comments.
And that's the way it often happens, of course. Because we GeneaBloggers do spend a lot of time talking back and forth. Come on, most of you know it – we love to talk, even if it is in writing.
That's why I love my blog. I don't read it, of course, except for when I have to read over what I've written. I love it because it's like my virtual back fence. I go to the Blogger reader (based on the Follow function) that is on the dashboard first, and then (true confession time) I go to that list that extends so far down the left side of this blog and click on the other articles I have not yet read. I apologize if that list makes this blog slow in loading, but I like it that way. Yes, this is a much more primitive way to do my blog reading, but it somehow makes the experience more immediate to me; it really does feel as though I'm "talking over the fence."
And how I enjoy that experience. So many times I'll read something another blogger has written and have a shock of recognition or an outburst of vehement agreement – "Yeah, what (s)he said!" – or think "I can really use that information" or "Gosh, I never thought of that before." We do not have to explain our obsession to other GeneaBloggers; they "get" it. They "get" that insatiable desire to know – about our ancestors, about what happened – and to make sure that these souls who contributed to our existence are never forgotten.
In candor, there are so many times that I read something another GeneaBlogger has written and think "I wish I had written that!" The breadth and depth of talent among Geneabloggers is amazing. Maureen Taylor perceptively added to the list of 40 a sampling of more fantastic GeneaBlogs, and I can think of a bunch more that never fail to inspire me and often make my day. I am so humbled to be on Family Tree's list of 40, but then I am humbled everyday when I read what my fellow GeneaBloggers have to say.
Thank you, Maureen for your lovely article, thank you Diane Haddad and Family Tree Magazine, thank you to everyone who voted for me, and thanks to all my Genea-buds out there who make life ever so much more interesting!

- Vermouth is a really important character, her link to the boss it´s truly a mistery because she is likely the one that shouldn´t have much related to him. She is a famous international actress, american and doesn´t seems to have a huge interest in crime, we could say she is like a Hitchcook-girl-spy, with a devil and a cute side, that trick us. Yes, we know, Vermouth is a hot and cool character, but over that she is very intelligent and quite early from her first apparition whe discovered in her intense feelings towards Ran and Shinichi, philosophical dilemmas and stuff. Gosho tries to show us that Vermouth is a really complex character, and paradoxical. He doesn´t take that time with Gin or other baddies, Vermouth is special.
- They never show the full portrait of Elena, always with glasses, only the mouth, some of the face...Even other mysterious characters like Papa Akai have been shown. Elena is a nuclear character and never has been shown, along with Atsushi (less mentioned)
- Before Mary´s apparition Elena and Vermouth are the two really known an important characters in the series that are occidental.
Futhermore, they first apparition (Elena just figured) is in the same case. The Haido hotel case (a brief note about Pisco. I think the BO was planning to get rid of him, not necessarily that night but Vermouth went to oversee him as she said in the EPISODE ONE case). We don´t know if the boss was in the party , and Vermouth couldn´t send an sms to the boss during the interrogation.
As it was said in the original theory, Vermouth always appeared after Haibara talked about her mother.
- Vermouth´s secret: Over the fact she doesn´t age, and she is linked more deeply to the boss, I think her secret is that she is Elena Miyano, and Bourbon knows that because he met her when he was little and in some way something from Vermouth must have reminded him, doing futrther research he could find out. Still, Vermouth and Bourbon have a nice relationship, they work really well together, and allthough Vermouth willed to kill him I think they are accomplices in some way inside the BO, each one with different objetives.
Actually, all the Sharon/Chris stuff maybe is just covering the fact she is Elena. The series never stated that Sharon Vineyard was the true name of Vermouth, and Vineyard is just a coded-alcohol alias after all.
- Why did Vermouth take classes with Toichi Kuroba¿? I think it was because she had the need to disguise herself from the moment that the Miyanos disappearead.
- She really hates Shiho, maybe because she is carryng on the drug proyect, the proyect that make her a monster that can´t age an probably turn out mad her own husband (likely the boss). I think Vermouth could have a mental illness because of the drug, disorder personality problems and all the secondary effects that a drug can harm. Haibara has a terrible fear towards BO members, but I remember she had a horrible one towards Vermouth. I think Haibara knows that Elena is Vermouth, and Elena died somehow, now it only remains her devil side.
- Vermouth , along the boss was probably the first person in triying the drug. I mean, Vermouth , being an important piece inside the BO would never be a simple guinea pigs, she has to be envolved so much in the project, because othervise she wouldn´t be that important for the boss and would taked the drug. Vermouth also is really smart and has a scientific mind.
- ¿What about the Miyano accident? Did Elena Miyano take the drug intenting suicide¿? Maybe Atsushi Miyano was so obsessed that he became mad with the project and Elena didn´t want to continue it, so she took the drug and didn´t die . Making herself an important piece for the boss, maybe Vermouth is Elena Miyano and she is just planning how to take down the BO through Conan intending she hates her own daughter.
She believes the only one that can take down the BO is Shinichi, not FBI or other NOCS, nothing...that´s why se doesn´t really care about Kir or Bourbon identities.
- I believe the Itakura software was a side-plan of Vermouth to destroy internally all the BO research.
- All this would mean that Mary and Vermouth and sister, makes sense because they resemble a bit, could be interesting in the future.
Dunno, so many questions but I think they can be the same person, like a fallen angel that plans to take down the BO
Spimer wrote:Yeah. But nevertheless the project was authorized by someone else as Itakura was given a payment in advance and Vodka was in charge of interacting with him.
Vermouth was surely the woman he mentioned on the diary, anyways.
As for what it's supposed to do... Maybe it's some kind of program that, if misued, can become a great threat. But makes you wonder why would Itakura start to work on something like that on his own if he was supposed to be a CG engineer.
But I think we're getting a bit off trail again.
Regarding the boss, I still think it's a secondary character who's appeared with a full name at some point but that doesn't mean they have a defined appearance: it could be a background character name mentioned at some point.
The email sent to Vermouth looked like something a man would write (from Japanese text analysis) but it could be a woman posing as a man. Yet a man gives off more the vibe of someone who'd be able to keep a man like Gin under control, in my opinion, and to the point Gin always calls him/her "that person". Vermouth is the only one who says "boss".
So she being the boss' wife/daugther sounds likely.
Absenta wrote:I can recall that before the Miyanos disapparead they visited Atsushi´s father to ask for something. What was that¿?
Who could be Atsuhi´s father¿? Maybe the boss¿? That would make Elena daughter in law and Haibara granddaugther.
But I don´t think Vermouth is linked to the boss being a mere daughter in law , or maybe yes, and they are trying to bring up to life Atsushi Miyano because both of them love him.
Spimer wrote:Hello, welcome to the forums!
Regarding the boss, Gosho said that it has "appeared with his/her full name" at SOME point in the manga.
Before that it was the "name" and it had to be before Vol 57.
But now we have the "full name" thing and it could be anywhere in the manga.
Many have tried to narrow it down but it could basically anyone at this point.
Many agree that Karasuma is fishy but in terms of personality feels too stupid and impatient to fit with the boss' description of "the type who'd take a stone bridge apart just to check it's solid".
Time will tell, we hope!
Locke201 wrote:In order to maybe get a hint who the boss of the BO might be ,I started reading the manga again.
While reading it appeared to me that the boss may be James Black. It was quite striking when he and Conan first met and Conan confronted him with the theory that he may be from London due to his accent. He replied that he was born in London, the city of Holme's but raised in Chicago, the City of Capone. Taking into account that Al Capone was one of the most "successful" criminals of the last century and the leader of his own Mafia family it came to my mind that Black referred to himself as first being the a decent man, as Holmes was when he lived in London. Always the one chasing justice.
But something must have happened to him. Maybe when he already has moved to the States to become the leader of the FBI what made him become the leader of the biggest criminal organization. Maybe it has something to do with Vermouth. Maybe it really has something to do with "raising", no like a child becoming an adult but like raising from the dead or raining in character traits due to his experiences. Maybe it was something that happened to his family which the Myanos might belong to or Vermouth or all of them.
There is a possibility that not criminal activities but the research conserving the drug was the original reason to found the organization and the only way for him to gain enough money to finance the research was the organized crime. Furthermore at the end of the aforementioned episode Conan wonders what James could mean. And it is not as Ai assumed James Bond that came to his mind but James Moriarty.
The one that is equal to Holmes someone that could be seen as his "cosmic antagonist". And Shinichi who could be seen as the Holmes of the whole story maybe has found his antagonist in James Black (I mean "Black"). And for him being British it is not unlikely that his real name may be Chekhov MacGuffin (the one that appeared in the Guestbook on the mermaid's island next to Shiho Miyano's)
I know there are a lot of "maybes" in this theory but I think there is a possibility for it to be true at least partly.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - One of last year's top-performing hedge fund managers, Deepak Narula, is suffering a reversal of fortune as the mortgage bonds that steered him to the top of the industry in 2012 are now delivering losses.
His Metacapital Management's roughly $1.5 billion flagship fund was down 5.66 percent for the year through June 14, according to an investor with knowledge of the numbers.
The loss is particularly notable given the fund's 41 percent gain last year.
Narula's fund is just one of many credit-oriented hedge funds that have seen gains posted earlier this year turn into losses in the wake of a ferocious sell-off in bonds sparked by fears the Federal Reserve could pull back from its easy money policies later this year.
Other large hedge funds with significant credit exposure that are posting negative numbers since Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke signaled a potential end to the monthly purchases of $85 billion in Treasuries and mortgage securities include Brevan Howard, Bridgewater Associates and BlueCrest Capital Management.
Metacapital, for instance, tumbled into the red after the fund lost 7.26 percent in May alone, according to the investor familiar with the numbers.
Two other sources familiar with Metacapital said the fund has lost more ground in recent weeks as the value of mortgage-backed securities has continued to fall. Those sources did not have more recent performance figures.
Narula did not return a request for comment.
Funds like Metacapital benefited mightily last year from the Fed's decision in September to begin buying Treasuries and agency mortgage-backed securities in order to keep interest rates low. The bond buying drove investors into riskier, higher-yielding assets, as well giving a jolt to the prices of more traditional bonds.
Bonds backed by subprime mortgages performed especially well along with mortgage securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Last year, Metacapital was an investor in both kinds of mortgage securities.
But as concerns rose in May that the Fed would begin to taper its bond purchases, the yields on Treasuries and agency mortgage securities have soared as the prices of bonds have fallen. The sudden drop in bond prices has caught some managers flat-footed.
Funds that make relative value mortgage trades using leverage will likely be some of the hardest hit investors this month, said several people in the hedge fund community, including allocators and traders.
Smaller hedge funds are not the only ones that have been caught in the market crossfire.
BlueCrest Capital's $13.6 billion Bluetrend fund, which invests in interest rates, currencies and stocks, lost 7 percent in May, said two people familiar with the fund's performance. For the year through June 14, the fund was down 3.7 percent, according to a person familiar with the numbers.
A representative for the fund had no comment.
Two of the world's biggest hedge funds, Bridgewater and Brevan Howard, have each rung up significant losses in the past few weeks.
The $70 billion Bridgewater All Weather fund lost about 6 percent through this month, pushing yearly losses to about 8 percent, Reuters reported on Monday. Another Bridgewater portfolio, the Pure Alpha II fund, was down 1.12 percent for the year as of June 18, said a person familiar with the numbers.
A $2.7 billion Brevan Howard fund that focuses on emerging markets had fallen 11.6 percent to June 14, Reuters reported last week. (Reporting By Katya Wachtel and Jennifer Ablan; editing by Matthew Goldstein and Leslie Adler)

Ali Farag finished the year 16-2 (Gil Talbot).
HARFORD, Conn. – Junior Ali Farag saw his College Squash Association Individual Championship defense come to an end in the semifinals Saturday night, as the lone remaining member of the Crimson was eliminated from the Pool Trophy field.
Farag was outlasted by St. Lawrence's Amr Khalifa, 3-2, in the semifinal match to fall just short of claiming his second consecutive Pool Trophy and the 35th in program history.
The second-seeded Farag jumped out to an early lead against Khalifa, winning the first game, 11-9, before dominating the second, 11-3, to take a commanding 2-0 lead. In the third, the Saints' freshman rebounded with an 11-7 win and tied the match with an 11-6 triumph in the fourth. The final game was a back-and-forth affair that saw Farag reach match ball with a two-point advantage; however, Khalifa won the next two points and five of the final six to outlast the Crimson junior, 13-11, and take the match.
Farag reached the semifinals with a comeback of his own earlier in the day against Rochester's Andres Duany. He dropped the first game, 11-9, before rattling off three straight games, 11-1, 11-6, 11-8, to earn his second consecutive berth in the round of four.
While Farag was the only member of the Crimson in the top draw, Gary Power was in the first round consolation quarterfinals and Brandon McLaughlin was in the second round consolation round of 16. Power suffered an 11-9, 11-6, 9-11, 11-8 setback at the hands of Adam Perkiomaki of Rochester, while McLaughlin fell to Dartmouth's Chris Hanson, 11-6, 3-11, 11-9, 11-8, to have both their junior seasons come to an end.
In the Molloy Division, Tommy Mullaney dropped his match to Princeton's Vivek Dinodia in the quarterfinals, 11-7, 11-6, 11-6.
Harvard will look to build on a strong 2012-13 campaign that saw the Crimson win a share of the Ivy League title for the first time since 2006 and finish as the No. 2 team in the country.

The latest NFL odds from the Las Vegas Hotel & Casino don't quite line up. The San Diego Chargers over/under win total for the 2012 season remains at 9 while the Broncos has slipped to 8 1/2.
To paraphase A.J. Smith: Hope the Chargers don't runaway with the division.
And Vegas doesn't think they will. In fact, the Broncos still have slightly better odds to win the AFC West (7 to 5) than the Chargers (3 to 2). And the Broncos' odds to win the Super Bowl (20-to-1) are better than the Chargers (30-to-1). Even though, again, the Chargers' win total is 9 while the Broncos is 8 1/2.
""The (over/under) are determined by the money that comes in," said Jay Kornegay of the LV Hotel & asino. ""When it was 9 1/2 the Sharp money (bet on the Broncos) was coming in on the under. It's all about the schedule. The money coming in, the guys I've talked to say that schedule is going to be very difficult to overcome. Everything says 9-7. But, that's if Manning stays healthy."
The Broncos' schedule includes games against New England (13-3 last year), New Orleans (13-3), Pittsburgh (12-4) and Baltimore (12-4). That's four teams with a combined 50-14 record last year. Then they have Atlanta (10-6) and Houston (10-6). And then there's up-and-coming Cincinnati and Carolina with second-year quarterbacks Andy Dalton and Cam Newton, and the AFC West against whom the Broncos are 1-8 at home in the past three years.
The Broncos, by the way, went from tied for the fifth-best odds to win the Super Bowl at the time they signed Peyton Manning to what is now tied for ninth-best odds.

Tash, Zak, and Uncle Hoole stop on the planet Ithor for supplies, including a mineral the Shroud needs for its engines. The mineral isn't available on Ithor, but one of the Ithorians knows where they can find it--on a mining colony in the middle of a space slug-filled asteroid belt. The journey to the colony is filled with many dangers. But nothing prepares Hoole, Tash, and Zak for what they meet when they reach their destination. An ancient life-form has been released from its tomb. It has lurked there, waiting, for many years. It cannot be seen. It is made from pure evil. And its name is Spore.

There are a TON of changes with 8.1, but they're very subtle and without putting them under a magnifying class it's really hard to get the most out of this new update.

VIDEO PREVIEW: Walking With Dinosaurs roars back for UK arenas tour including Sheffield and Leeds
Dinosaurs will once again roar in Yorkshire - Walking With Dinosaurs The Arena Spectacular, based on the award-winning BBC Television Series, is returning for another bite.
The 2018 tour will star BBC RTV wildlife presenter Michaela Strachan as 'Huxley' the paleontologist.
There will be four performances at each of Sheffield Fly DSA Arena, where it plays on August 10-11 and at Leeds First Direct Arena, from August 22-23.
Watched by over nine million people in more than 250 cities around the world, the show will open its new World Tour in Newcastle, on July 20 and then will embark on an international tour, taking over arenas across Europe.
It will also play UK cities in Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham, Glasgow, London's O2 Arena and SSE Arena Wembley.
The $20 million production features new, state of the art technology, underlining its position as the biggest and best dinosaur show in the world.
Bosses say this updated show will showcase spectacular and colourful changes to the dinosaurs based on latest scientific research including the likely feathering of some species.
The show is produced by Global Creatures, headed by CEO Carmen Pavlovic, who said, "A new generation is ready to experience these life–size beasts in this awe-inspiring spectacle, which has still not been matched in terms of scale and quality.
Many of our creatures have "evolved" since the last tour, now featuring distinctive display feathers, head crests and tail fans, reflecting recent discoveries about the physical nature of these massive creatures. This show remains a must-see for audiences of all ages."
The one-hour, 40-minute show depicts the dinosaurs' evolution with almost cinematic realism, including has scenes of the interactions between dinosaurs, how carnivorous dinosaurs evolved to walk on two legs, and how the herbivores fended off their more agile predators.
Nine species are represented from the entire 200 million year reign of the dinosaurs.
The show includes the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the terror of the ancient terrain, as well as the Plateosaurus and Liliensternus from the Triassic period, the Stegosaurus and Allosaurus from the Jurassic period and Torosaurus and Utahraptor from the awesome Cretaceous period.
The largest of them, the Brachiosaurus, is 11 metres tall and 17 metres from nose to tail. It took a team of 50 - including engineers, fabricators, skin makers, artists and painters, and animatronic experts - a year to build the production.
The history of the world is played out with the splitting of the earth's continents, and the transition from the arid desert of the Triassic period is given over to the lush green prairies and forces of the later Jurassic. Oceans form, volcanoes erupt, a forest catches fire -- all leading to the impact of the massive comet, which struck the earth, and forced the extinction of the dinosaurs.
The show originated in Australia, where after years of planning and came to life at Sydney's Acer Arena in January 2007. It has since been on two UK tours.
Tickets for Walking With Dinosaurs will be on sale from Friday, November 3 - with pre-sale from Wednesday, Nov 1.

The Calculation (Dave Ramsey Misery Index)
The Dave Ramsey Misery Index consists of four numbers made out in the form of money lost due to Dave Ramsey's advice related to home purchases. (All numbers are based on an after tax calculation) They are as follows:
- Home Price Appreciation (Calculated based on actual data per market) I calculated the actual price difference between the median home price in October 2011 (when I read Dave's advice about home buying) and the median home price for April of 2014. This area is represented by Chicago Illinois. The median home price increased 50% for that time period. Using the example of a $149,900 home in that market as of October 2011, the same home would cost $75,000 more or $224,900 as of April 2014. (Information gathered from realtor.com and Illinois Association of Realtors. )
- Rent versus Mortgage. This number has a minimal effect on the Misery Index calculation for Chicago Illinois between 2011 and 2014.
- Interest Rate Difference. The third number is the difference in interest rates between then and now. Interest rates only changed slightly the difference was negligible.
- Higher Mortgage Payment. The fourth number is the difference between what the mortgage payment would have been in 2011 and what the mortgage payment is now, calculated over the life of the loan secured in 2014.
Expressed in numbers the Dave Ramsey Misery Index for Chicago Illinois would be as follows:
- Home Price Appreciation $75,000
- After tax rent vs. After tax mortgage negligible
- Interest rate difference in payment negligible
- Increased mortgage payment next 360 months $124,699
Each time I post a new misery index it will be for a particular community showing the misery Dave Ramsey has caused his followers regarding his advice to wait to purchase a home. Back in 2011 I was screaming at the top of my blog posts and videos that it was time to buy a home, an investment property or a primary residence. With interest rates as low as they were and home prices at unbelievable prices it was almost impossible not to see the writing on the wall as to what was going to happen. It has happened. Going forward it appears to me that we are faced with a high probability of increased inflation. With that being said, it is still a good time to buy while interest rates are low and before prices go higher! And, please don't listen to Dave Ramsey when it comes to buying a home. His advice has created a lot of misery for folks.

Jody Lynn Bennett, 37, of Mentcle, Pa. was apparently in need of a Game Boy on Wednesday. So he popped by the local funeral home and allegedly picked a couple up—from the open casket of a dead 17-year-old.
Bradley McCombs Jr. (pictured), a high school junior, died on Christmas Day when his car crashed into a utility pole. His funeral was Wednesday, and, as a tribute to one of his hobbies, one imagines, his family placed Game Boys and Game Boy cartridges in the casket. And Bennett—whose family is friends with the McCombses—arrived, apparently unable to tell the difference between "coffin" and "goodie bag":
The boy's uncle, Robert McCombs Jr., approached Bennett after Bennett got in his vehicle and was about to drive away.
He asked Bennett about a missing Game Boy.
"The defendant told the uncle that he did not have the Game Boy," according to the affidavit of probable cause.
"The uncle then told the defendant that he could see the Game Boy inside the vehicle. The defendant then produced the Game Boy and returned it to the uncle."
As that video system was being returned to the casket, family members noticed that a Game Boy Light and three games were missing.
Oy. Well, on the one hand, the guy managed to grave rob without having to dig up a grave, which is a sort of monumentally disturbing crime. On the other hand? Bennet, according to his aunt, is "into alcohol" and is "just messed up." So I'll just say this is "the weirdest sad story I've read this week" and call it a post.

Rapper Craig Mack, best known for the platinum 1994 hit Flava in Ya Ear, has died in South Carolina at 46.
Alvin Toney, Mack's producer on his Project: Funk Da World and Get Down Remix albums, confirmed the news in a statement to The New York Daily News, which reported Mack died on Monday from heart failure while in a hospital near his home in Waterboro, S.C.
"Nobody got to understand his story," Toney said. "I wanted the world to know the talent he had. It was something I wanted people to enjoy, but it was cut short because he was very religious and wanted to go to church."

Toney noted that Mack had struggled with illness for some time and said he was "prepared for whatever comes, to go home to the Lord. He was prepared to do that. He wasn't scared. He was ready."
The rapper, who had the very first hit on P. Diddy's iconic hip-hop label Bad Boy Records, said that he began writing his own lyrics at the age of 12 with aspirations of being "like LL Cool J and Run-D.M.C."
"Craig is hip-hop's George Clinton, because his stuff is really off the wall," Diddy had told the Times for Mack's 1995 profile. "He does what's from his heart, which is where it starts for him. But his energy comes from somewhere else."
Diddy considered Mack and Notorious B.I.G. to be the foundation that started Bad Boy Entertainment. "This is my life here. We all need each other to live and breathe. That's the way we treat each other," he told MTV Raps.

Condolences started pouring in on social media once news of his passing spread.
"I just got a disturbing phone call," DJ Scratch wrote on Instagram. "I cannot believe this dude is gone. He just reached out a couple of weeks ago for me to speak on his documentary about his life. Because Craig was my roadie on tour. He would set up & break down my turntables every night on tour. Rest In Peace Lil Bro."
"Rest in power Craig," LL Cool J responded to the news of Mack's death over Twiter. "May the almighty embrace your soul & lift up your family and friends. it was a pleasure to know you & rock with you. You $tepped away from the game & did it your way.. I always respected that.#RIPCraigMack."
Mack is said to have been working on a documentary about his life before his passing.
He released his second album Operation: Get Down in 1997 before quitting music and devoting his life to religion.
Mack is survived by his wife and two adult children.

With a design show as fantastic as this one, it's hard to capture it all. Soaking it in is yet another story! In fact, I'm still soaking in the whole weekend of the Interior Design Show West held at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
There were so many amazing displays of quality, craftsmanship, and pure creative genius, I don't even know where to begin. But, since Matthieu LeBlanc's reclaimed wood creations was definitely one of my favorites, why not start here?
Want to take a peek?
These sculptural arc lamps are made of apple wood.
And their base from a piece of beach combed mahogany washed up on shore!
Isn't it stunning?
And how about this gorgeous table?
Matthieu calls this the 'Footprint' table. Can you see it?
And what's a design show without amazing seating?
This signature bar stool is made from Douglas fir.
Here's another look, you know, a little more up close and personal!
Love the grain in it!
Yes, these pieces are all made from reclaimed wood. Either donated, salvaged, or beach combed. Beautiful wood with its own history, a fresh start and the beginning of a new story… and the storyteller, the master behind the artistry, Matthieu LeBlanc.
Just a little taste of so much more!
What do you think? Can you see one of these pieces in your home? Which one would you choose?
Thanks for stopping by!

The rodeo: Forest Lakes Mex stakes claim on Main
Its name means "the Rodeo," but El Jaripeo kicked up precious little dust when it quietly unveiled a new look in October for the Main Street building last known as 12th Street Taphouse. It turns out that this expansion-minded Mexican restaurant is the brainchild of five owners, including Jovel Mencia, who we encountered prepping for the Sunday dinner crowd.
"I spent 16 years with Outback Steakhouse," says Mencia, whose brother– another of the five owners– is a 20-year veteran of Mexican restaurants. They opened the first El Jaripeo in Forest Lakes in 2010.
Both places feature a festive menu, emphasizing the classics of south-of-the-border cuisine– plus jumbo margaritas made with fresh lime juice and a secret house recipe. A sign in the Main Street restaurant (state liquor law keeps the venue from touting drink discounts) indicates the jumbos sell for $7.95 but go on special for $5.50.
5 comments
We've gone to the Forest Lakes location for years--their food is great! Can't wait to check out the Main Street location.
Always nice to see a new advertiser thanked by having an article written about them.
"Forest Lakes Mex stakes claim on Main"
Headline is faintly reminiscent of Winchell or old show biz headlines (Billboard ?). Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Not Billboard. Variety. My bad.
Good food at a good price up at Forest Lakes. However, the margaritas come out of a machine and, even at $5.50, are overpriced for what you get.

Hospital ship gearing up, but not yet definite to deploy
The Navy is activating the San Diego-based hospital ship Mercy to be ready if called to the Philippines for humanitarian relief following Typhoon Haiyan.
Pacific Fleet Commander Adm. Harry B. Harris Jr. directed the activation Wednesday, ordering crew and equipment to the ship, and accelerating its ability to go to full operating status.
If ordered to deploy, the Mercy would leave San Diego Bay in the next several days and could arrive in the Philippines sometime in December, said Capt. Darryn James, U.S. Pacific Fleet spokesman.
Travel time for the Mercy to the Philippines is roughly three weeks.
It would join other
The typhoon, carrying up to 235 mile-per-hour winds, struck the Philippines Friday. The official death toll is around 2,300 people, down from initial reports of 10,000.
The worst-hit city is Tacloban, a port town of 200,000 people. The airfield there is in use 24 hours a day, the Marines said Wednesday.
By midday Wednesday, American aircraft had conducted 40 flights, inserting more than 400 relief workers from the U.S. Agency for International Development and nongovernment organizations, the Marines said. More than 800 displaced people had been airlifted.
Overnight Wednesday, about 180,000 pounds of supplies – such as plastic sheeting, hygiene kits, food and water – were expected to reach the area for distribution.
A dozen U.S. Navy ships are involved in the rescue effort. By Thursday evening local time in the Philippines, the U.S. Navy's Japan-based aircraft carrier George Washington should reach the area.
The San Diego-based cruiser Cowpens and the Japan-based cruiser Antietam are with the carrier, along with the oiler Yukon.
Separately, U.S. Navy ships Mustin, Lassen, Emory S. Land and Bowditch are now on stationed off the Philippines and are coordinating with the government there, according to Pacific Fleet officials.
The amphibious ships Ashland and Germantown are expected to depart Sasebo, Japan, on Thursday, local time. They will pick up Marines, equipment and relief supplies in Okinawa and arrive in the Philippines in about a week.
The destroyer McCampbell and the supply ship Charles Drew are also heading there.
The warships all carry helicopters that can ferry people and supplies and fly reconnaissance missions.
What the cavernous Mercy brings is rows and rows of hospital beds.
Marked with an iconic red cross, the hulking white ship houses operating rooms, intensive care units, four X-ray machines, a CT scanner, a dental suite, optometry lab and pharmacy. The crew can handle up to 5,000 units of blood.
The Navy hospital ship is nearly as big as an aircraft carrier, measuring 894 feet long. The former tanker was gutted and relaunched as a hospital vessel in 1986. Its sister vessel is the Comfort, stationed on the East Coast.
The Mercy visited the Philippines in 2008 and 2012 as part of the annual humanitarian mission Pacific Partnership. The ship stopped at Calbayog City, a poor area about 100 miles from Tacloban.
Aside from goodwill, the Navy's floating hospitals have been used to care for injured during the
The Mercy typically sits in reduced operating status at San Diego Naval Base, as it commonly only deploys once every two years for Pacific Partnership.
The ship is expected to be able to move from reduced status to deployable in roughly five days.

A personal logo who is confident, charming and in-charge. He is smoking a cigar and possibly holding a drink, maybe with a Hawaiin shirt. He IS The KingFish! Maybe kicked back, wearing some flip-flops...whatever he is doing, he believes in himself and his place in the universe. Not cocky, but confident, and definitely friendly and charming!
Desired Style:
Cartoon, relaxed.... Beachy... Kind of Key West influenced...
Accepted File Formats:
The KingFish must be bursting with personality! He is a fish who is friendly and is smiling.... he has a crown on his head, and he is holding a cigar and a drink. "Sitting" with his fins crossed (if possible) and wearing flip flops (if possible). He may possibly be wearing a Hawaiin shirt. We are looking for a really neat, modern, but interesting character. If paid by WEstern Union, fees will be deducted.

MISSISSAUGA: HISTORICAL FACTS.................................................................The City of Mississauga is a relatively new city with The Town of Mississauga being created in 1968 and the City of Mississauga incorporated in 1974. The following are some chronological historical facts and milestones:The area of Modern day Mississauga was inhabited by Native Indians. Iroquoian and Algonquian speaking people inhabited the Credit River Valley area before the arrival of Europeans in the 1600s. French traders encountered the Mississaugas (an Ojibwe band) who settled in the areas of Burlington Bay, Etobicoke Creek and Credit River. The origin of the name "Mississauga" is "River of the North of Many Mouths". In 1805, a treaty known as the "Mississauga Purchase" was signed between the Native Mississaugas and the British Crown, with the Crown acquiring over 74,000 acres of land and became known as the Toronto Township. An additional 600,000 acres of land, which comprises the modern day Region of Peel, was acquired in 1818 (the "Second Purchase"). Much of the land was granted to United Empire and New Brunswick Loyalists (emigrating from the 13 Colonies).Although much of the land was still agricultural, the area began to develop. In 1873 the Toronto Township Council was formed to oversee the villages that began to sprout, as well as the overall continuing growth. Settlements began to develop and villages such as Streetsville, Port Credit, Meadowvale Village, Clarkson, Dixie, Malton and Erinadale had formed. There was also railway construction at this time, which led to industrial growth. Road maintenance, police, mail delivery were some of the Council's responsibilities.Additional growth and development continued in the 1900s. There was cottage construction in the 1920s along Lake Ontario for the city dwellers wanting a weekend getaway. In 1935 the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW), one of the word's first controlled access highways opened from Highway 27 to Highway 10, Port Credit. In 1939 it expanded to Hamilton and Niagara. There was continued suburban development south of the Dixie and QEW intersections at around this time and it continued to move northwest. Toronto's Pearson International Airport (the busiest in Canada) first opened as the Malton Airport in 1937.
Meadowvale and Erin Mills began to sprout in the latter half of the century (in the 1960s and 1970s). In 1968 the Town of Mississauga was formed as an amalgamation of most of the township settlements of Malton, Meadowvale Village, Dixie, Cooksville, Lorne Park, Lakeview, Clarkson, Sheridan and Erindale. Square One Shopping Centre opened its doors in 1974 and it has gone through several expansions throughout the years, making it one of the largest shopping centres in the country. Hazel McCallion ("Hurricane Hazel") became the mayor of Mississauga in 1978 and has been so until this day, making her one of the longest serving elected leaders in history. She is currently 90 years of age.
As one of Canada's best managed and fastest growing cities, Mississauga continues to make history to this day.
The next time you are on the lookout for houses for sale in the GTA, consider Canada's 6th largest city, Mississauga, in districts such as Meadowvale, Lisgar, Millers Grove, Trelawny, Lake Aquitaine. Here are some reasons:1. A variety of homes for sale for various demographics, including detached, semi-detached and executive homes, high-rise condos and townhouses2. Competitive municipal tax and utility rates3.Strong communities: community centres located throughout, arenas, swimming pools, fitness centres, golf courses, tennis courts, baseball diamonds and more, one of the largest public library systems in Canada with 16 libraries, shopping at Square One (Ontario's largest retail shopping centres)4. One of Canada's safest cities 5. Mississauga is cultured with galleries, theatres, Living Arts Centre, concert halls and museums6. Leisure spots and scenic recreational parkland (e.g. 480 parks, 23 trail systems, Credit River Valley, Marinas along Lake Ontario) 7. A strong commitment to healthcare and quality of life with fast access to hospitals and healthcare facilitites, including the reputable Credit Valley Hospital and Trillium Health Centre8. A strong commitment to education (10 universities and 11 technical colleges within commuting distance, two school boards, more than 30 private schools and alternative education)As you can see, this city has a lot to offer a home buyer and if your house is for sale in Mississauga, do not forget to tell the home buyer these selling points!

This past summer we visited Atlantic Canada (stops in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island). The downtown of St. John's, Newfoundland is renowned for its colourful "jellybean row houses."
The jellybean houses figure prominently in the work of local artists.
We even noticed some jellybean birdhouses.
It was our first trip to Newfoundland and a very special time. I thought it would be a nice idea to add something to our Christmas tree as a memory for 2014. We used scrap 2X2 wood cut between 2-4 inches high and painted little jellybean houses with acrylic craft paint. Eye hooks were added for hanging. [We didn't fuss too much about sanding the woodcuts because these were hanging and not playing.]
And here they are at night!
Happy Crafting and thanks for stopping by!

ECE provides a safe and warm environment that supports and promotes an enthusiasm for active learning. ECE is also a critical step for successful learning for youngsters from Parent Infant Program (PIP) to Kindergarten.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil." At the Elementary Department of CSDR we could not agree more! We believe it is our responsibility as educators to encourage students to reach their personal best and to develop a lifelong love of learning.
The CSDR Middle School Program offers a variety of curricular programs designed to meet the educational needs of all students with a Fast-paced Academic Curriculum, an Academic Curriculum, and a Foundations to Academics Curriculum.
Our theme is "LEARNING COMES FIRST," which supports our philosophy that we experience all kinds of learning on a daily basis, whether the learning occurs within the classroom environment or outside in the real world. Learning is not limited to students sitting at their desks, listening to teachers teach.
The Career and Technology Education (CTE) Department has established programs which prepare students for life after high school. The department's goal is to provide students with the opportunity to develop skills, which will help them become independent and successful members of their community.
The Special Needs School offers an alternate curriculum program which follows the California Alternate Performance Assessment standards (CAPA). Special Needs programming is designed to develop students' independent application of concepts. This is accomplished through many hands-on activities at CSDR and in the community.
CHARACTER COUNTS! strengthens students through character education. A person of character is a good person, someone to look up to and admire, who knows the difference between right and wrong and always tries to do what is right. A person with character sets a good example for everyone and makes the world a better place while living according to the "Six Pillars of Character": TRUSTWORTHINESS, RESPECT, RESPONSBILITY, FAIRNESS, CARING and CITIZENSHIP.
CSDR embraces the philosophy that positive academic, intellectual, social-emotional, and physical development is the goal for every Deaf and hard-of-hearing child, and that the responsibility for the achievement of this goal is shared by the student, the family, and the school.
CSDR has developed a comprehensive formal ASL curriculum specially designed to correlate with common core English-Language Arts standards and objectives for each grade level. The aim is to use ASL as a medium of instruction that focuses on deepening students' conceptual foundation.
CSDR embraces the philosophy that positive academic, intellectual, social-emotional, and physical development is the goal for every Deaf and hard-of-hearing child, and that the responsibility for the achievement of this goal is shared by the student, the family, and the school.
What is sound? How do sound waves travel? What do different noises sound like? For many of our Deaf students, sound is an abstract concept that has been difficult to understand, until now. With the installation of the "Multisensory Sound Lab", a new understanding and experience of sound is possible. In the lab, sound is not just perceived through your ears, but through your whole body.
The California Department of Education, along with the California Schools for the Deaf, has recognized that one of its most important goals is to ensure a quality education for all Deaf and hard-of-hearing children and adolescents. Together, they promote the ideal that the more consistently deaf children in California receive resources and services, the more these children can benefit from a quality education. In the fall of 2013 the California Deaf Education Resource Center – South (CDERC-South) was established under the California Department of Education. Housed at the School for the Deaf in Riverside, the goal of the CDERC-South is to act as a clearinghouse of resources for Southern California for those serving Deaf and hard-of-hearing children and adolescents. The center, as defined in EC 59002.5, functions to "disseminate special curriculum, media teaching methods, instructional materials adapted for deaf individuals, achievement tests and other assessment methods useful to the instruction of deaf individuals." In accordance with California Education Codes, the CDERC aims to provide support to all educators, professionals and caregivers who work with deaf children. These services will include training and guidance on early intervention, parent education, curricula and assessment, and community education, as well as assistance to Local Education Agencies. Trainings have been developed and offered at various locations throughout Southern California, as well as through web-based videos, and live video-conferencing to meet the needs of all programs and logistical constraints.
Towards this goal, CDERC-South has the following programming and trainings in place:

Students who live more than 60 minutes away from campus qualify to stay overnight at campus during the week as residential students. Students go home in the early afternoon on Friday on the school bus, and return back on Sunday evenings after dinnertime. Residential life staff provides supervision, counseling, recreation activities, homework assistance, as well as after-school activities that are also available to non-residential students (day students). In addition, residential life staff supervises the students in the morning before school, during all mealtimes, in the evenings with some also serving as sports coaches, and during nighttime with separately assigned night attendants.
The residential program reflects and reinforces the campus-wide standards for staff use of ASL and focus on open communication and incidental learning. All residential life counselors are required to be fluent in ASL. Since CSDR is a second home to many students, the cottage environment itself is made communicatively accessible to the students by the provision of computers, video phones, captioned TVs, all in an environment of open space within everyone's visibility, and many opportunities for interaction with peers and local community members through field trips and sports programs. Group activities and events benefit the students in both incidental and formal learning.
After school activities are also a strong component of the Student Life Program. Parents of day students are strongly encouraged to allow their children to participate with the residential students in these activities. Residential staff members excel in their creativity and scheduling of student activities. After-school activities, workshops, and other features of the residential program include:
The Parents and Staff Working Together organization focuses on fundraising and academic enrichment activities for students, as well as teacher appreciation events. Parents and staff come together and work on a casual basis for the benefit of all students. Interpreters are provided at all monthly PSWT meetings.
The Community Advisory Committee includes 51% or more parent representatives, as well as the president of PSWT, who meet on a monthly basis to provide feedback to the Superintendent on various school-related topics. The staff members serving on the CAC include teacher representatives from each department, with a Family Education coordinator and an Outreach staff. Community representatives may include CSDR alumni, the Center on Deafness-Inland Empire (CODIE), the Riverside/Southern California chapter of the California Association of the Deaf, Deaf Women United of Southern California, and/or Deaf-owned businesses. Parent and community involvement is encouraged for addressing important issues and advice with the Superintendent. With CAC, the school hosts Open Forums for parents and community. CAC examines how CSDR programs and services affect all students, and strives for a positive educational environment. Interpreters are provided at all major events, and at the monthly meetings upon request.
The CSDR Alumni Association assists with CSDR awareness through social media sites and offers college scholarships for students. To fundraise for the student scholarships, CSDRAA hosts a Car Show and Bazaar at CSDR, sports competitions with alumni playing versus the current students, and other fundraiser events for the community. CSDRAA meets on a quarterly basis, and facilitates student class and anniversary reunions for CSDR alumni. The organization worked together with the Laurent Clerc Center to create a 424-page CSDR History Book, authored by Kevin Struxness '78, on CSDR's first 50 years. The book can be purchased at: http://www.debee.com/products/lc-press/csdr-history-book/
Some staff members and parents also serve on the Gallaudet University Alumni Association of Riverside (GUAA), with scholarships for students who have been accepted into the university. GUAA also hosts various fundraisers and celebrations at CSDR, such as a reception in honor of a retired CSDR administrator, Dr. Gerald "Bummy" Burstein, who recently was honored with the Gallaudet University Sesquicentennial Distinguished Alumni award for his national accomplishments and benefactions to the university, and to the city of Riverside.
Contributions through endowment organizations make a difference in the lives of our Deaf students as well as future generations. Funds are used for student incentives, educational activities, and other necessities to help CSDR thrive.
The CSDR Community Alliance Network (CSDR CAN) is comprised of alumni, longtime staff and/or retired employees, who work with the Superintendent to oversee funds that students and school organizations raise for various student extracurricular activities and programs.
Friends of CSDR is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bridging the sound barrier between the deaf and hearing communities. Friends also assists students in extra-curricular educational endeavors that might not ordinarily be available to them. Lastly, the Bummy Foundation, established by Mr. Burstein, supports select CSDR students who show leadership potential by financing their leadership trainings or retreats.
California School for the Deaf, Riverside (CSDR) is a component of the State Special Schools and Services Division of the California Department of Education. The school serves Deaf and hard-of-hearing students, between the ages of 3 and 21, who reside in the 11 counties of Southern California.
