Hope you are well!
Today's post is all about my trip to Ireland last week! I have decided to split the post into two parts as there is so much to show you and I thought it would get a bit boring if I kept it as one.
Day One - The flight
Since I hadn't been on a plane in 14 years (I know, it's been so long!) it was natural that I was a bit nervous and apprehensive about flying. I was excited as well but the nerves sort of took over. I brought a pack of soft mints that I could eat during the flight as I heard it helps your ears pop? I think it worked haha! I did eat a whole pack on an hour flight though. In my mind it was keeping my nerves down! haha! It seemed like a good idea at the time but now I look back and just laugh at how silly that idea was!
The flight was pretty smooth, there was hardly any turbulence which was good! I loved looking out the window during the flight and I may have taken way to many photos of the clouds. The only part I wasn't keen on, was where the plane turns so the wing either dips or moves up towards you and at one point I just saw the ground horizontal which freaked me out a little. haha :) Other than that I think I handled the flight well. :)
Here are a couple of photo's I took while in the air :)
I'm still in the air!
(Rooster Teeth reference haha)
Starting the decent into Ireland
I landed at Shannon airport and was picked up by some family members. I visited the South West part of Ireland and stayed with my family in Letterfrack, which is near Clifden. It was a long car journey back to the house so we stopped off along the way to stretch our legs and have something to eat. I think it was about a three hour journey all together. I didn't mind though as the scenery was lovely to look at!
Day Two - Kylemore Abbey
For my first full day in Ireland my family took me to Kylemore Abbey which is a Benedictine Monastery that was founded in the 1920's. Unfortunately the weather that day was horrible!! The wind was so strong it literally knocked the breath out of me! And to top it off it was pouring down with rain. I think at one point the rain was actually horizontal. We got soaked. It was a shame that the weather was so bad because the was a botanical garden and gothic castle we wanted to take a look at but in the end we just wanted to go somewhere warm and inside. However, the inside of Kylemore made up for not being able to visit the other places as it was just so beautiful! The decor and the architecture was amazing!
I love looking around places like this, for example: castles, manors and anything historical. I find places like this really interesting.
Here are some photo's from the Abbey.
As you can see above, the weather wasn't great! haha
Day Three - Clifden
On the third day we visited the nearest town which was Clifden. It is quite a small town but it had lots of lovely cafés and a vintage shop which is always a good thing in my books! There was also a lot of pastel coloured shops/houses which of course I loved and took photos of, haha :)
First of all, we visited a small café called Walsh's. It was so lovely and the food was amazing! I had a hot chocolate and a bacon baguette which was really good. We sat right at the back of the café next to the windows and the view was lovely!
The vintage shop was amazing! I loved everything in it! However, it was very expensive. Beautiful interior and the items were lovely but I just wish they wasn't expensive.
Here are couple of photo's of the Vintage shop -
Other photo's from around Clifden -
Sorry it's a bit of a long post but I hope you liked it anyway!
The second part to this post will be live on Saturday, so make sure you look out for it!
Thank you so much for reading and I hope you liked it! :)
Feel free to leave of any comments!

Then it comes to the media thing. The concept of joining together my company as far as specialty performance automotive, and such together with the Knytes and germinating the idea of a one major kick butt media company and such as KnyteWolf Media, is not a bad one. The idea here is to acquire an older building in Buhl that used to house KnyteWolf Media until we build our own is a daunting task. Location ideas are the old Kings store next to Riddley's food store, or the old furniture storse down town. Been working with two realty firms there to make that happen. The major challenge here in a very small population area, that is mostly centered on all things production agriculture(which ain't bad, hey we all gotta eat) but there is little of a labor force for anything that is out of the box, such as on air radio people and or audio or video production people. Look I don't mind doing my tasks and duties for it all, its just that I'm getting old, my body tires easily, and despite the notions of me just wanting to get a bit of sexual touchy feely here, which ain't even accurate since that is exclusively my Shelly and me, but having a woman's voice and opinions on air as well as production would help, hey guys and women think differently on things. But to no avail. Now then some bark about the wages. $20.00 an hour as a base wage to start ain't bad hey that comes to just a tad under $2,500.00 a month, and it beats fast food, or housekeeping services wages. Yet hardly if any experienced takers. Only time I got took , no , correction twice I got took, and because the mistake was on my end , I had to pay wages out of my own pocket. What many don't understand, on wages for the radio media company, comes if the new hires did the job they are hired to do, is the responsibilty of the Knytes. (Iron-Knytes-Association/AyreWolvez Military Aviation Association-aka the WolfPack.) If there's a goof up or a thing that the new hire only partly does their job , it comes out of my very shallow pocket, not the deep well of the Knytes.
With that the talent searches go on.
Now onto another matter and if the little guy from fb advertising calls I'm going to tell him the same thing. Until FB get's off their lazy butts, and repairs my fb account to where I can see all of my newsfeeds from my groups, friends and such, as well as the Contacts pane>
the space in the red ain't there. Why? Who knows, but the little fartknockers in Queer-Bay California where Facebook is headquartered ain't fixing nothing. The funny thing is, if I view my page from IE or another computer the images and contacts are there. It's a measure of Facebook to do away with fake news, except ours are not fake, and the fact that Facebook hates anything to do with today's Confederacy, 1% Bikers groups, or radical rebel groups such as ours. Except the fact that ours is more patriotic than just about if not more so than any other thing out there. If that ain't being racist, or predjudiced I don't know what is. If someone barks about the Black Lives Movement, or BLM, its up on fb, if its another radical idea its on fb, ours, I just see barely on my main board even if I boost it for money, I have to individualize who and where its posted. So I say to those little college kids at fb, want my or the Knytes ad monies? fix my fb account.
Any way been having a slight migraine so staying indoors most of the day. These are the days I could use employees, but sadly there's none to hire. See ya'll at 16:00 On www.spreaker.com/ayrewolf, on HazzardAyre-KnyteWolf Radio.

Bring new life to your entire air duct system.
Most people are now aware that indoor air pollution is an issue of growing concern and increased visibility.
Through normal living conditions, we generate a great deal of contaminants and air pollutants, such as pollen, dust, and pet dander. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and re-circulated 5 to 7 times per day, on average. Over time, this re-circulation causes a build-up of contaminants in the duct work.
While dirty ducts don't necessarily mean unhealthy air in your home, school or workplace, they may be contributing to larger health issues or harboring contaminants that could cause serious problems for people with respiratory health conditions, autoimmune disorders or some environmental allergies.
Contaminants in the heating and cooling system can also cause it to work harder and shorten the life of your system. Although filters are used, the heating and cooling system still gets dirty through normal use.
When an HVAC system is cleaned, it doesn't have to work as hard. As a result, less energy is used, leading to improved cost-effectiveness.
Kashian Bros' complete Air Duct Cleaning System uses a dual system. A powerful engine creates suction which is hooked up through a large hose to the air duct near the furnace.
We then carefully open each vent cover and lower a high pressure hose with forced air into the air duct system to remove the fine particles that can become stuck to the walls.
Each vent is cleaned by hand and then replaced.
The furnace is opened and the coils are cleaned.

Facebook botherer scrapes bottom of legal barrel
Paul Ceglia - the alleged half-owner of Facebook - has enlisted yet another lawyer in his increasingly desperate case brought against Mark Zuckerberg.
The latest attorney to represent Ceglia has reportedly been ordered, in a separate suit, to cough up $300,000 after he "morphed" stock images of minors and used them to defend individuals charged with possessing child porn.
"The court concludes that a constitutionally effective defence to a child pornography charge does not include the right to victimise additional minors by creating new child pornography in the course of preparing and presenting a defence," said US District Judge Dan Polster in an opinion dated 20 October, according to Bloomberg.
The judge dismissed lawyer Dean Boland's claim that such usage of the images was constitutionally protected. He plans to appeal the judgment.
According to Boland's website, he "is a former computer crime prosecutor who worked on cases of nationwide notoriety broadcast on Court TV while a prosecutor. He now represents criminal and civil clients facing technology issues in cases in federal and state courts throughout the entire country".
Boland is Ceglia's fourth lead counsel since Ceglia filed his original lawsuit on 2010.
Earlier this month the firewood salesman, who lives in Ireland, lost lawyer Jeffery Lake after he instructed him "not to comply" with a court order issued by a judge in August.
Lake had been told to hand over details of email accounts and passwords relating to a revised complaint Ceglia issued against Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in April this year. He refused and dumped the case.
Ceglia has claimed to have email evidence that showed he was entitled to ownership of half of Facebook.
That's an allegation repeatedly rejected by the social networking supremo, who has labelled Ceglia a "fraudster". ®

|Close Window
With the long-awaited ruling by the Supreme Court on the Affordable Care Act (ACA)—notably the Court's assertion that the individual mandate is constitutional, as well as its finding that the requirement that states expand their Medicaid coverage or lose all Medicaid money is coercive—some seem to think that "uncertainty" related to the ACA has ended.
In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.
Medicaid Issues Continue
Although the constitutionality issue has been laid to rest, several other legal skirmishes have already arisen. Alabama, Maine, and several other states are challenging the requirement that states continue all Medicaid coverage that was in place as of 2010 until the Medicaid expansion occurs in 2014. Of the 26 states that challenged the expansion itself (which calls for states to provide Medicaid coverage to all those below 138% of the poverty level, regardless of age or parental status), 6—including Texas and Florida—have already said that they won't expand their programs. Five other states are leaning in that direction. The rest of the states that joined the challenge are still deciding what to do.
Traditionally, states have more energetically participated in programs when the federal government pays a large proportion of the costs. For example, some states that had not aggressively enrolled all of their Medicaid-eligible children exhibited much greater effort to enroll children in the S-CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program), for which the federal government pays a higher proportion of costs than for the traditional Medicaid program.
For the Medicaid expansion, the federal government will cover 100% of the costs for newly eligible individuals for the first 3 years, gradually sliding to 90% of costs over the next 4 years—which suggests that most states may ultimately choose to participate in the expansion, whatever they are saying now. Wisconsin, for example, has said it will "wait and see" before making a decision.
Unfortunately, the way the law was drafted, poor populations in states that choose not to participate are particularly vulnerable. In states that do participate, people whose income is below 138% of the federal poverty level are eligible to receive Medicaid; those whose income exceeds that amount may qualify (on a sliding scale) for a subsidy to purchase insurance from an exchange. But under the ACA, in states that choose not to participate in the Medicaid expansion, individuals who have incomes below 100% of the federal poverty line and who do not qualify for Medicaid in their state (most childless adults) are also ineligible to receive a subsidy. This gap in assistance exists because when the ACA was passed, Congress thought very poor individuals wouldn't need a subsidy to purchase insurance because they would be covered by Medicaid. A future Congress might allow for people either to participate in Medicaid or to receive the subsidy to purchase private insurance. In fact, an earlier version of the Senate bill did just that: it allowed people who were at or above the poverty line to participate in the exchange rather than in Medicaid if they wished.
Health Insurance Exchange Challenges
States are in various positions of readiness when it comes to establishing their insurance exchanges, which are basically insurance markets. The exchanges are supposed to be operational by fall 2013 so that coverage can begin by January 2014. Because of the concern that some states might not be ready on time, the law provides for a federally run exchange as a backup to the state-run exchanges. By regulation, states are allowed to take over running their own exchanges whenever they are in a position to do so. This is not a small issue. Current estimates are that, at least initially, there could be a federal exchange in one-third to one-half of the states.
However, the law was written with language that provides subsidies to people to defray the cost of insurance plans offered through an exchange established by their state. The question now is whether that allows for residents to receive subsidies to apply to exchanges run by the federal government. A rule issued by the Obama Administration allows for subsidies for insurance purchased through either state or federal exchanges, but challengers are saying the language of the law is clear and explicit, limiting the subsidies to apply only to insurance purchases through state exchanges. Ultimately this issue will probably end up in the courts. The likely challenger will be an employer who is penalized when 1 or more employees receive a subsidy for insurance from a federally run exchange. Under the law, some employers who don't offer coverage or who offer inadequate coverage will be subject to penalties whenever an employee receives the subsidy.
The ACA and the 2012 Election
Chief Justice Roberts made it very clear that he and the court were not opining on the wisdom of the ACA, only on its constitutionality. As has already become obvious, the 2012 election will in part be a referendum on the Act as well as on the economy. This is as it should be. The way to change unpopular legislation is to elect a Congress and a President who pledge to change it in ways that meet the demands of the electorate. Of course, there are usually a variety of issues that are important to people, and each of us has to choose the representative, senator, and president who on average best represent our views. Still, continuing, repealing, or substantially changing the health care law is likely to be one of the deciding factors, even if not the determining factor.
The 2012 election is not the last say on the ACA. Just as Medicare has some legislated changes in most years—some small and some large—it is likely that there will be many changes to the ACA in the years to come. Given the immensity of the Act, it is especially likely that there will be important statutory changes over the next decade as some unintended consequences or changed situations reveal themselves. But the most important opportunity for large-scale change will be in 2012, before the most significant portions of the law are implemented.
Most of us have been so focused on the constitutional issues of the ACA that we seem to have forgotten about some of the other crucial issues also facing the country, including sequestration, the automatic spending cuts that are scheduled to go into effect next January if a joint congressional committee and Congress fail to develop a plan for $1.5 billion in deficit reduction; the debt ceiling; the expiring tax law changes; the "doc fix," legislation that averted drastic payment cuts to physicians who treat Medicare patients, due to expire at the end of this year; and ultimately the need to reform our entitlement programs. These are more than enough reasons to expect an uncertain future, no matter who we are or what we do.

"Faith" is from the beginning of one of the chapters in the Questioning Way.
>Closing Schools, Cutting Education—-
I just found out today, that my favorite elementary school is being closed down, due to budget cuts. This made me furious, and sad. We keep cutting the education budget, like there's still a chance that ruining it will save us. The education budget can't be cut any longer, what we need to do is cut the budget for other things. One thing that would help everyone, is cutting the funding on military purposes. Cut down the spending on the pentagon. If we just protested harder we could get the government under our control. We the citizens are supposed to be the government, not just a select few. To my dismay it's been quite obliviously been pointed out to me, that people don't want or care to do anything against this injustice. They think any sort of fight is useless, because the government is going to do anything they please. No, it's because we the citizens don't fight enough, that our government is taking control. We are letting this big bad government intimidate us, thus they continue to bully. Some people don't want to fight, because they think the government's half assed protection is worth losing liberty. "A society that will give up a little liberty for a little security, deserves neither and will lose both," Benjamin Franklin. This is what is happening, and this is what's true. No one fighting for our rights, is putting us in a headlock. We are making ourselves suffer, and making future generations suffer. We need to not be so afraid of having our voices heard. Go protest. Protest the cutting of the educational budget, and start demanding a cutting in the pentagon expenses. Make a change, we need a revolution, and we need it now. —Ambrosia Cunningham

Literacy - How can I help?
For help on various aspects of literacy, please click here
What is Literacy?
Literacy, in its simplest definition, is the ability to read and write.
One in six people in the UK struggle to read and write. Poor skills compromise health, confidence, happiness and employability. At Longdean School we believe that all teachers, parents and students have a role to play in supporting and developing students' literacy skills. Our aim is to ensure students can communicate effectively in today's society. We believe that with better literacy skills, more people will have the opportunity to contribute more to society and that literacy has a significant relationship with a person's happiness and economic success.
Why Literacy is important.
Worldwide, nearly 800 million adults are illiterate in their native languages, yet the ability to read and write is the basis for all other education. Literacy is necessary for an individual to understand information that is out of context, whether written or verbal. Without literacy skills—the ability to read, to write, to solve problems and to access and use technology—today's children will struggle to play a full part in the world around them. In short, literacy is a barrier to success and fulfillment.
How can I help my child?
Conversation in the home
There's a golden rule with literacy which is quite easy to remember: if you haven't heard it, you can't say it and if you can't say it, you can't write it. If you can't write it, your ability to present yourself as a strong candidate in a job application is damaged. In this respect, the language a person has around them is absolutely crucial – it can, quite literally, make or break a child's life chances. It's easy for teenagers to offer you a grunt in response to a question about their day, so try to insist on developed conversation, where they hear and give full and thoughtful responses. Some families do this around a dinner table, whereas others look for different opportunities, so think about the best moments for you to have those nice, developed conversations.
The range of words that a person can access is also related to what they have read. The earlier a child is read to, the better their chances of building an effective and useful vocabulary. As a child develops, continuing to read a range of different things will support their development as they move through the education system. Sometimes, the main problem is finding something that will engage a child; reading for pleasure is what we want our children to aspire to. Don't worry if your child isn't willing to access a range of classic novels – you're hardly alone. If lengthy books aren't their thing, encourage them to read a range of different texts. The sports pages of the newspaper may not seem as powerful as a best-selling novel, but if a child is engaged, there is still every possibility that they will pick up some useful vocabulary. If there are magazines that reflect an area of interest, then taking out a subscription is not a bad idea. In addition, there are graphic novels, which can be very sophisticated in the way they use language to create characters' dialogue.
Longdean now has a marking policy that focuses on key areas of literacy (further information on this is available on the relevant page). Scanning your child's work for annotations can prompt some very useful discussions on where they need to improve. It is also really useful to have a conversation with your child about their written work before they start a piece. Ask them how they are going to structure it and what sort of language they will use – talking writing through is one of the best ways to ensure that the end product is as good as it can be!
Throughout this area of the Learning Platform, there are a number of worksheets that tackle some of those areas that many people struggle with from time to time. Do take a look and try some of them at home.
Marking Policy
At Longdean, all staff and departments will have their own approach to marking and assessing work, which tends to vary according to the needs of the subject and the student(s). Nevertheless, there is an expectation that staff adhere to a common policy in marking, which highlights areas that are essential to improving children's writing.
Below are the annotations that teachers make on students' work. With a consistent message, students should be far more aware of the areas they need to focus on in order to improve their writing. The 'Exp' annotation is important, as it relates to the register of a student's written expression – whether or not it is appropriately formal. Sometimes, students lose the idea of how to express themselves formally in writing, so if this annotation appears on their work, they know that it is something they need to work on.
Spelling error
Incorrect punctuation
New paragraph needed
Expression not appropriate
Meaning unclear
Missing capital letter
Striking writing

You Have Been Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer – Now What?
I have written about the subject of prostate cancer in the past. Two of my previous blogs deal with the subjects of prostate cancer in general and the controversy surrounding PSA testing. The two articles can be found here:
Let's assume that you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, 233,000 men will be diagnosed with the disease in 2014 and statistically, one in seven men will be diagnosed during their lives. I think it is important to know that there is a new model of treatment thankfully, but slowly emerging. In the past, the tendency was to concentrate on the tumor with the tendency to rush to radical (oftentimes unneeded) treatment frequently in the form of a radical prostatectomy. The result was a high percentage of men left to deal with negative, often life altering side-effects the result of a treatment for a disease that in many cases would have had no effect on the patient's longevity had they not been treated.
One example that comes to mind is a friend of mine who upon being diagnosed with prostate cancer took the attitude, "I want this out of my body," and underwent an immediate radical prostatectomy. He now describes his sex life as "trying to make love with a rope." So many patients simply took the advice of their urologist/surgeon and hoping for the best, went ahead with a radical treatment that may or may not have been needed. It has been recently shown that a very high percentage of men who underwent radical prostatectomies would have remained asymptomatic throughout their lives with no treatment, but in many cases are now living with disturbing side effects of the surgery.
The emerging model promotes you, the patient, to the job of Captain of your fate and how you deal with your disease. Although some forms of prostate cancer are quite aggressive leaving only the choice of what type of treatment to have, a high percentage of the cancers are very slow growing, non-aggressive types that will not become symptomatic in the patient's life time. You must do the thorough research and ferret out every possible choice. There is no rush to make a decision. My personal suggestion is to engage the services of a urological oncologist. Understandably, if your urologist is a surgeon, the tendency will be to guide you to the treatment he knows and trusts – surgery. There will undoubtedly be no effort to ascertain the underlying cause of your issues. A urological oncologist has no horse in the race and will guide you in an unbiased manner towards the best tack for you. Unfortunately, there are only about 100 such practitioners in the country. As an aside, always get a second or even third opinion.
Speaking with survivors of prostate cancer, there are some common threads. It apparently is quite empowering to take charge of your own health and well being focusing on nutrition, exercise, attitude and surrounding yourself with the support of friends and family. The latter concept seems to be much easier for women than it is for us men, but it is an extremely important aspect of heeling. In the new model of prostate cancer, the importance of psychological and emotional stability is becoming more and more apparent. A sense of optimism and hope seems to strengthen the immune system.
You will find that being in charge of your life and your health will become a lynchpin in the overall healing process.
Finally, the happiest cancer patient I know is a friend diagnosed some years ago. He took charge of his life, made the decision to change his lifestyle including a regular regimen of exercise and the incorporation of good nutritional habits. He engaged in a new, exciting personal relationship. He took the tack of active surveillance, which includes the lifestyle changes and regular medical/urological checkups. He is happy, healthy and is living with no symptoms or negative side effects.
Remember that some physicians are now recommending that many forms of prostate cancer be considered a chronic condition rather than having the label of "cancer" applied to the disease. Take charge and may the force be with you!

Celebrating Excellence & Effort
Every Friday we have a celebration assembly where we celebrate the effort and achievement of a pupil from each class.
These assemblies have a theme so each week we might be celebrating Investigative Scientists, Expressive Artists or Energetic Sports Stars.
We invite families to come and celebrate too by sending home each Thursday notification of which pupils are being recognised the following day.
Our achievers receive a certificate and are mentioned in that week's newsletter. We also take a photograph of the proud pupil and that picture is featured in the scrolling display on the screen in our school entrance.
We have many extra-curricular clubs available for pupils to join. Some are at lunchtime and some are after school. Some are run by school staff and some are offered by partner organisations – some are even run for pupils by pupil.
We aim to cover all areas of learning and interest. In the past year we have seen the following: story-telling, loom bands, imagination station, coding, gardening, tag-rugby, choir, art club, basketball, orchestra, Spanish, karate, hockey, archery … and many more!
School Council
A group of our pupils meet every term to discuss things that are important to them. Our school councillors are elected by their classmates (with Reception pupils being represented by additional Year 6 pupils).
All three of my children have come home with amazing school reports, exceeding in most areas and absolutely love going to school! Who can ask for more?

British News
After two years out of service undergoing a major reconstruction and refit, the Type 23 frigate HMS Westminster is back in service.
The frigate received one of the most extensive refi ts in modern history that has seen the ship transformed in order to see out the remainder of her career with the Royal Navy.
Engineers from BAE Systems have been working on the frigate for the last 24 months at Portsmouth Naval Base and have replaced the dated Seawolf missile system and Type 996 radar system with the new Sea Ceptor missiles and the Type 997 radar (known as the Artisan 3D).
Additionally, HMS Westminster also had her 4.5 inch main gun serviced alongside her machinery and her bridge systems were also updated and revamped.
French News
FS Auvergne, the fourth Aquitaine class frigate for the French Navy was handed over from her shipbuilders DCNS on 11 April.
The new frigate is configured for anti submarine warfare together with two other ships currently in build, FS Bretagne and FS Normandie.
The final pair of Aquitaine frigates, FS Lorraine and FS Alsace differ from the other six in that they are configured to serve in the anti air warfare role within the French fleet.
New Zealand News
The Royal New Zealand Navy officially announced the name of its new 24,000 tonne tanker on 10 April as being HMNZS Aotearoa and that she would be based at the city of New Plymouth on the nation's North Island.
The new ship will become the largest ship ever operated by the Royal New Zealand Navy when it comes into service in 2020 and will be able to accommodate up to two helicopters in its integral hanger.
Indonesian News
As part of the Indonesian Navy's modernisation program, the old Soviet era Parchim-I class corvette KRI Pati Unus (below) has been retired from service.
The vessel first saw service in East Germany in July 1983 before being sold on to Indonesia in July 1995.

Questions Answered: @utsdoc Talks @UnitedSeminary & @CopelandNetwork
My last post on the nature of the relationship between United Theological Seminary and Kenneth Copeland Ministries garnered a quick response from Dr. David Watson, Academic Dean at UTS. Here are a list of the facts I recounted in my blog: *UTS began it's academic partnership with KCM in 2010. *UTS hosted Kenneth Copeland to
Possibly One of My Last @CopelandNetwork, @UnitedSeminary Posts
For reasons I won't presently divulge, this may be one of my last posts on the relationship between Kenneth Copeland Ministries and United Theological Seminary.
I guess I must admit to not knowing the whole story of the relationship between UTS and KCM. I don't know if I've admitted that before, but I'm doing it now.
I am sure I've expressed a desire to know more about it. In fact, most UTS alumni I know have also expressed concern – to varying and elevated degrees.
I recently heard a concern expressed by a UTS faculty member. Essentially, those of us who were expressing concern didn't have the whole story. Additionally, the argument was made that just because someone is invited to speak, doesn't mean the school or faculty necessarily endorses said person or their beliefs.
Think Ahmadinejad being invited to speak at Columbia University.
I will gladly grant that. In fact, I want to state that I will make retractions of any material I have misreported – since I may not have all the facts.
That being said, we do know some things (all of which I've reported before):
*UTS began it's academic partnership with KCM in 2010.
*UTS hosted Kenneth Copeland to speak in Dayton, OH.
*A UTS official claimed his visit generated $20,000 for the school.
*As recently as 2009, KCM had been under investigation for financial practices – and we all know that's not the first time that's happened.
*I'm not sure if this means anything, but a UTS board member is a former employee of and son-in-law to Copeland. (I'm not alleging any impropriety by mentioning that, I just think it's relevant somehow)
Mitigating these circumsances is the fact that one UTS faculty member explained to me that the relationship between UTS and KCM was a strictly an academic one. KCM has an extenxive digital ministry, and UTS was going to take advantage of the opportunity to have their students learn from some of the best.
However, the above list of known facts is still disconcerting. It is fine to say that Kenneth Copeland doesn't represent the views of all faculty and staff, but the partnership with his organization appears to be an endorsement of them. Copeland's actual speaking engagement in Dayton is just more fodder for those experssing concerns.
Here's my question: Why doesn't UTS address the concerns it knows it's students and alumni have?
I've seen press releases from UTS before, and their subject matter isn't as important as this appears to be. They could use the tools at their disposal and record a video message, addressing concerns and answering questions – telling us all why we shouldn't be so concerned about this relationship.
Heck, I'll even come to interview anyone who would like to help set the record straight. I like to stir the pot, but I also pride myself on being fair.
Well, that's it for now – when it comes to UTS and KCM, at least.
My previous Copeland posts are here and here.
Did @UnitedSeminary Read This Before They Partnered With @CopelandNetwork?
I must preface this post with an explanation of my official position on United Theological Seminary.
I love this school. I've loved nearly every class I've taken. I've loved nearly every professor I've had. Though I am a non-traditional student, I've loved nearly every moment of student life at the school.
The problem I have – which I've covered before – is with the school's institutional direction.
My concerns began when I learned that UTS would be partnering with Kenneth Copeland. Yes, that Kenneth Copeland. The same Kenneth Copeland who John Piper – a man with whom I share copious disagreements – has called a "founder" of the prosperity gospel.
When I found out that Copeland would be partnering with UTS's D.Min program, I became concerned. Off the record, I was told by a faculty member that the partnership was more about taking advantage of KCM's digital ministries and the learnings that could happen as a result. However, it wasn't long before the school was touting a preaching visit by the televangelist – and expressing amazement at how he helped the school raise $20,000 during his visit.
So far, I'm sure you can see how I can be concerned that a United Methodist seminary is partnering with someone so theologically askew from where they claim to be.
However, my overriding question remains unanswered. How could they have made such a shortsighted decision in the first place?
News about who Copeland is and what his "ministry" is all about is not hard to come by. In fact, I found this article from the New York Times which contains the quote from Gloria Copeland (featured above) and information on the latest investigation in which he and his acolytes find themselves embroiled.
I couldn't find information on how that investigation went, but the fact that this wasn't his first run-in with the Feds should have been a clue to proceed with caution – if at all.
This article dates to '09 – before the partnership officially began – so there is no reason they shouldn't have known this information. Frankly, all you would have needed to do was watch his show for any length of time to decide that a United Methodist seminary shouldn't be partnering – for any reason – with an organization that believes as they do.
Also, I find it troubling that a United official thought a major selling point of Copeland's partnership with the school was that he was able to raise such a large amount of money for the school.
If such a fuss is raised about Claremont's adherence to orthodoxy, why aren't more people paying attention to orthodoxy at United?
The problem – I believe – is that United is experiencing so much commercial success at this time, that no one really cares about how they are getting things done.
As I said, I love being a student at United, and I wouldn't trade it – honestly.
I just wonder when they might make their next Copeland-esque move?
United Knows What You Think of Them – @unitedseminary
I wish this wasn't the topic for my first post in a while, but here it goes.
I also haven't posted about United Theological Seminary for a while, but I can't help this one.
I haven't ever heard an official from United speak about Kenneth Copeland (I speak about him here) and their recent turn towards conservatism – until this morning.
I overheard a conversation held in the common area of UTS this morning. I can't recall the entire conversation, but here are the highlights.
*During his D.Min visit last year, Kenneth Copeland helped raise $20,000 for the school.
*This official didn't see why Copeland's son-in-law shouldn't have been brought onto the board of the school. (Dr. Swisher is a UTS grad and works for Kenneth Copeland Ministries)
*This official was unconcerned with the view that everyone thinks UTS is taking a turn towards conservatism.
I share this with you because it is the first time I've heard a UTS official speak candidly about things like Copeland and the school's institutional changes over the last few years.
Admittedly, I do not know in what context these comments were being made, but I heard them – and decided to report them to you.
So, there's that.
I Sarcastically Answer a Fill-In-The-Blank Tweet from @kennethcopeland
So, Kenneth Copeland asked a trivia question via Twitter this morning. Here it is: Fill in the Blank: The Name of the Lord is a strong _____, the righteous run to it and are safe. Prov 18:10 — Kenneth Copeland (@CopelandNetwork) August 25, 2012 To which, my response was: @copelandnetwork disinfectant — Chris
MY 100TH POST!!! @UnitedSeminary, Is This The Kind Of Theology We Can Expect From Now On?: @CopelandNetwork & The Word-Faith Movement
"#Believing you receive is #believing that it is happening for you now!" -Kenneth Copeland — Kenneth Copeland (@CopelandNetwork) February 9, 2012 Two recent tweets have made me realize that United Theological Seminary is doing one of two things. Either they are unaware of the theology of its newest partner, or they are aware–and ignoring it.

A brick patio can be a beautiful addition to your home, but it can be made even more stunning by laying an interesting brick pattern, like a herringbone pattern. The herringbone pattern looks difficult to lay, but once you have the pattern started, it's as easy as any other brick patio project.
Preparing The Area
Before you can lay any bricks, prepare the area where your patio will be placed. After marking the exact area of your patio, excavate to a depth of around 6 inches. The easiest way to do this is to rent a skid-steer excavator from a home improvement center.
Once you've excavated, add 3 inches of gravel to the entire area to be paved. Compact this with a vibrating plate compactor, which you can rent from the same place you rented the skid-steer. Keep this compactor around, because you'll be using it again.
If you want to grade your patio so that any water that falls on it will run away from your house, this gravel layer is the step to do it in. Grade the patio 1/4 inch lower at the farthest edge from your home.
Lay bedding sand to the gravel area. The thickness of your sand layer should be sufficient to put your brick pavers flush with the ground. Compact this layer with your vibrating plate compactor.
Install plastic edging around the perimeter of your patio, and nail it to the ground with 12-inch galvanized landscaping spikes. This edging should be a little shy of flush with the ground around your patio, so that it gets buried when you're done.
Laying Your Bricks
Now it's time to pave your patio. The most important step in laying a herringbone pattern is starting the pattern correctly. The easiest way is to start in a corner, and work diagonally until you've established the pattern.
Starting in the corner, lay one brick "horizontally," tight into the corner. The next brick will be laid 90 degrees to the first, tight to the edging on one side. You've now created a corner where these two bricks meet. Lay another brick into the corner, in the same "horizontal" configuration as the first. You will have created another corner, into which you should lay a 90-degree brick.
Once you've laid a long enough course that you have established a pattern, begin filling the patio side-to-side, instead of diagonally. This will help you keep your lines nice and straight.
You may have to cut a lot of bricks when using a herringbone pattern, so be sure you have access to a wet saw, either rented from a home improvement center, or borrowed.
Finishing Your Patio
Once you've filled your patio with brick pavers, sweep sand over the entire area to fill in the gaps between bricks. Compact the sand and bricks with the vibrating plate compactor, then sweep in more sand. Your bricks should be tight and even.

Experts estimate that nonprofits lose almost $77 billion a year to fraud. Nonprofit fraud harms not only those who give to charity but the nonprofit itself. In order to report nonprofit fraud, you should gather evidence of the fraud, such as financial records or confidential emails. Then you should contact the police and other organizations.
Method 1 of 3:
Reporting the Fraud to the Government
1Identify the fraud. Any nonprofit that defrauds people has committed a crime. Although fraud can take many shapes, there are two fraudulent schemes nonprofits often commit:
- Deceptive fundraising. The nonprofit might make misrepresentations about charitable giving, such as the fair market value of donated assets or whether the nonprofit complies with donor-imposed restrictions on a gift.
- Fraudulent financial reporting. The nonprofit might misclassify donations in order to mislead donors or charity watchdogs; misclassify expenses for fundraising and administration; or issue fraudulent statements of compliance.
2Gather evidence of the fraud. The police would benefit from receiving as much evidence as possible that supports your accusation of fraud. Be sure to gather the evidence legally. For example, don't break into someone's computer or office. Also, don't secretly tape a conversation since this is illegal in many states.[1] Instead, get copies of evidence available to you:
- Financial records. If the nonprofit has committed financial fraud, then you will want copies of the records which show the fraud.
- Advertisements. The nonprofit might misrepresent its activities or purpose to the public. You should get samples of any misleading flyer or advertisement.
- Letters or other communications. If the nonprofit lies to a donor, then you should get a copy of the misleading communication, provided you can legally access the letter or email.
3Notify the police of the fraud. You should report this crime to the police so that they can investigate. Stop into the police station or call. If the police want to see your evidence, then share copies of all documents with them.
4Contact the nonprofit if fraud is committed by an employee. The nonprofit should also know if an individual within the organization is committing fraud. In this way, the nonprofit officers or board can investigate and fire the employee if necessary.
- Check if there is a hotline you can call anonymously. Some nonprofits have created hotlines where whistleblowers can file an anonymous report of fraud.[4]
- If not, then find an appropriate person in management to report the fraud to. Make sure the person does not work under the person you suspect of fraud.
Method 2 of 3:
Reporting a Charity to the Better Business Bureau
1Visit the BBB website. If you aren't sure that the nonprofit has committed a crime—but you suspect that it is running a scam charity—then you might want to report the charity to the Better Business Bureau (BBB). You can go to the Online Complaint System page.[5] On that page, you can select "charity."
- You will then be asked whether the charity is one that solicits nationally. The reporting process differs depending on whether the charity is national or local.
2Provide information about the national charity. If you are reporting a national charity, then you will be asked for the following information:
- your name and contact information, unless you want to remain anonymous
- charity name and contact information
- details about your complaint
3Provide information about a local charity. You will have to provide more information to report a charity that doesn't solicit nationally. Instead, you will need to search for the charity's name by entering its address, URL, phone number, or email address.[6]
- If the charity hasn't been listed on BBB yet, then enter its name and other information.
4Complete a complaint for a local charity. Depending on where you live, the BBB website might direct you to a local branch of the BBB. At the local website, you can fill out a complaint. You will have to provide similar information as you would provide for a national complaint:[7]
- your name and contact information
- a description of your complaint with the charity
Method 3 of 3:
Suing to Recover Money
1Meet with a lawyer. Fraud is not only a crime, it is also a civil wrong which you can sue for. When someone defrauds you, you can sue to get back the money taken. You may also be able to get additional damages. Only a qualified attorney can advise you about your options.
- To find a lawyer, you should contact your local or state bar association, which should run a referral program.
- As a nonprofit, you may be able to get free legal assistance. For example, an individual lawyer or a law firm may volunteer their services pro bono. You may also get a legal aid organization to provide free legal services. To find a legal aid organization near you, you can visit the Legal Services Corporation's website.[8]
2File a complaint. You will start the lawsuit by filing a complaint in court. This legal document identifies you as the "plaintiff" bringing the lawsuit and the person who committed fraud as the "defendant." The complaint also describes the fraud and makes a request for compensation.[9]
- Your lawyer can draft the complaint for you and file it with the court.
3Serve notice of the lawsuit on the defendant. You can give the defendant notice by serving a copy of the complaint and a "summons," which is a legal document you can get from the court clerk.
- Generally, you can serve the complaint by hiring a private process server to make hand delivery. You may also have someone 18 or older who is not part of the lawsuit make hand delivery.
- Ask whoever makes service fills out a "proof of service" (also called "affidavit of service") form. You must file this form with the clerk to show that proper service was made on the defendant.
4Attend trial. At a fraud trial, you must prove fraud using documents and witness testimony. As the person bringing the lawsuit, you will present your evidence first. The defendant will also be able to testify and present evidence as well.
- Your lawyer should handle the trial for you. Although you won't have to do anything (other than possibly testify), you should stay engaged throughout the lawsuit and the trial.
5Collect your judgment. If you win at trial, then you face the challenge of trying to get back the money you were defrauded of. Roughly half of all nonprofits are unable to recover the money they lost.[10] Accordingly, you may have to be creative.
- For example, you could garnish the defendant's wages. However, if the person is unable to get future employment, then you won't be able to garnish anything. Also, if the person switches jobs, you have to file a new garnishment action each time.
- Another option is to put liens on the defendant's property and foreclose on it. You can then get some of the proceeds and apply them toward the money judgment the court awarded you.
- For more information, see Collect a Court Ordered Judgment.

2017 Honda Civic SI: Mystery No More
2017 Honda Civic SI is a mysterious car. There are a lot of rumors about it. Some say that this is a concept only. Others claim that this car is already in production. There are even assumptions that such model does not even exist. So let's try to sort it all out and realize what we are going to see. Here is some 2017 Honda Civic Si news and rumors.
The main rivals for the car is hot hatches like Ford Focus ST.
2017 Honda Civic SI Release Date
2017 Honda Civic SI made many car lovers worry because its release date has been kept in secret for a long time. Nonetheless, latest car shows and promises from the carmaker give us a glimpse of hope that this model will be released in the beginning of 2017. 2017 Honda Civic Si is likely to be available as coupe and sedan, which release date will come simultaneously. 2017 Honda Civic Si US release date might be earlier than in Canada (which probably have the SiR name).
2017 Honda Civic SI Price
Since Honda Civic SI 2017 is still far from its final stage of production we can only make a guess how much it will cost. Judging from the previous models and new equipment which 2017 Civic will have we can predict that the price will start from $24,000 which is quite reasonable for such type of auto with quite a powerful engine. 2017 Honda Civic Si coupe, hatchback and sedan price won't be equal. It is expected that sedan will have the most affordable price.
2017 Honda Civic SI Redesign
The majority of sources believe that new auto will look minimalistic and stylish. The whole body of 2017 Civic SI is said to become much wider and spacious to provide enough space for the driver and passengers with luggage. However, this model is going to be equipped with numerous details and features. 2017 auto will have a new exhaust which looks much better than the previous one. New bumpers have become more attractive. 2017 Honda Civic Si will looks great in bright colors.
2017 Honda Civic SI Interior
Inside part of this model is supposed to be spacious, comfortable and luxurious to provide you a better driving experience than before. New seats are also improved and are promised to follow contours of your body. As far as we know, 2017 Civic SI will have a wide range of safety features and infotainment systems which will be helpful to you. Some of them are navigation system, sound system of high quality and different types of connectivity for your devices. As for the materials, we still do not know which ones are going to be used but we hope to see the best quality.
2017 Honda Civic Si coupe interior will not differ much from the current cabin of a 2-door car.
2017 Honda Civic SI Specs
To begin with, 2017 Honda Civic is going to be equipped with two kinds of engine. 2017 Honda Civic Si coupe and hatchback specs will be equal.
2017 Honda Civic SI Video
2017 Honda Civic Si Engine Specs
The first one is 2.4 liter engine with productivity of 220 horsepower as well as 180 lb-ft of torque. The latter is V-Tech type of unit which has capacity of 1.5 liter with productivity of 200 horsepower along with 210 lb-ft of torque. The engine is turbocharged. As for transmission, it is going to be a six speed manual one. Both models are said to be of FWD type. 2017 Honda Civic Si horsepower rating is enough to provide good sporty performance.
2017 Honda Civic Si Review
As it was traditionally claimed since the 1984 when the original Civic Si was released, the Si abbreviation means 'Sport injected'. The previous generation Honda Civic Si was available in US market as a coupe and a sedan. You could find a lot of consumer reviews stated the great combination of high-rpm Honda engine and 6-speed manual with LSD. The next-gen Honda Civic Si 2017 is probably will be available in all three bodies: sedan, coupe and a 5-door hatchback.

The 3rd Annual Reactions North America Conference, Risk and Capital Management Issues, New York, September 27th 2011
There were some stimulating panel discussions at this conference, the highlight being the CEO panel, which had a great line up. I particularly enjoyed all the discussion around "when will the market turn."
One panel member described the market as a "not yet" market, that there have been pockets of change but nothing has as "yet" had enough impact. Another panel member cautioned us about blaming others/other industries for our results.
Of obvious interest to me, as EVP of BMS' Specialty Casualty team, was when one panel member expanded on the casualty market commenting that the casualty business looks surprising good – in spite of the depressed rate levels.
I also enjoyed the CFO panel where one debate focused on the benefits of reinsurance and whether or not it is felt the capital markets sector will displace the demand for reinsurance. One panel member was quick to comment that reinsurance does more than provide capital for their company, that it helps to de-risk as they build a diversified book and they value the reinsurance partnership with key players in the industry.
The keynote speaker raised some valid discussion points when he pushed thinking around the question; "Are we driving people/companies out of the market?" based upon the increased retentions. Furthermore, he talked about growth opportunities in this challenging market and how the real money is in the "specialties" (Practice Groups by Industry/Product). He concluded with the fact that opportunity lies in differentiated talent, that the focus of companies, needs to be on obtaining the best talent – then lead, motivate and retain them.

RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) has been the traditional method for supporting large IT data storage requirements requiring high reliability and performance until recently. This technology has usually consisted of a 2 – 4 U (12 – 60 drive bays) hard drive enclosures, with redundant power & cooling, AND ASIC based controllers. These RAID controllers connected all of the contained HDDs and made them appear, to the computers that were connected to it (either directly or across the network), as one large hard drive. This large, virtual hard drive could then be split into multiple volumes that were available to multiple computers in block mode (as if they were directly attached to the computers internally). This type of solution had redundant processing features that included algorithms that spread extra parity data across all of the other HDDs so that if one drive failed the data could be recreated AND multiple RAID controllers so that if one failed the storage subsystem could continue to function successfully.
This type of storage solution has remained the sweet spot for Block mode requirements with capacities of 2PB or less using up to 8TB HDDs for data capacity & SSDs (Solid State Drives) for acceleration. We configure / build / sell RAIDs from manufacturers, including Infortrend, Promise and Dot Hill, with Fibre Channel, 1Gbe / 10Gbe iSCSI and SAS interfaces. Most standard applications (SQL, Exchange, VMWare, Database, Digital Video Editing, etc..) require block mode access.
Infortrend was the 1st manufacturer to a. deliver 16Gb Fibre Channel RAID b. deliver inexpensive dual controller iSCSI RAID c. deliver inexpensive 10Gb / copper / prepackaged /' turnkey unified storage subsystems based on ZFS
Promise is the ONLY Fibre Channel RAID on Apple's Hardware Compatibility
Newly added to our product line is one of the leaders in all flash arrays, Kaminario. These RAIDs deliver the highest performance available of block mode storage. Accelerating enterprise level applications, like SQL, Exchange & Oracle, can be done seamlessly just by increasing your storage performance.
We build and integrate RAIDs using products from these best in class partners:
ONLY new with full manufacturer's warranty and optional on site service

My Christmas gift ideas
Up until a few years ago, I barely bought my own clothes and anything relating to fashion. Most of those things came from my relatives and friends for my birthday, graduations, Christmases and other occasions. Christmas was the best, I got just about any materials things I wanted.
But I don't want anything like that this Christmas – material things that is (especially since I've been nagged, continuously, to downsize my walk-in closet). So this year, I'm going to do just that – no, not the closet downsize part – ask for non-material things for Christmas.
I've made a list for the four people I share a home with: my two older brothers, sister-in-law and my husband. So far, I came up with three ideas and my husband helped me out with one. I've designed a mini poster for each of the four Christmas gift ideas I'm trying to sell my family on. The way this is going to work is that I will put the four mini posters in envelopes with nothing written on the envelopes and then have each person choose one. The best part about these Christmas gifts ideas is that they're cheap.
Here are my four Christmas gift ideas and the reasons I chose them:
- A family tradition—I love family traditions, especially a holiday/Christmas tradition. Right now, we don't have one per se. But me and my siblings are just beginning to start our own families and it would be nice to have something for all of us (and our kids) to celebrate together every year.
- A family fun day—It's unfortunate that me and my housemates have turned into talkers, wishful thinkers but lack action. We often come up with great ideas about spending time together but none of us actually follows through to make it happen. For example, we've been planning to go sledding for the past two winter seasons. How easy is that, right? But nope, we still haven't done it. I think assigning someone to organize a family fun day is a good way we might be able to accomplish one of our many ideas about spending more time together.
- A family (road) trip—all of us love to travel, whether that's domestic or international. We have a lot of fun together when we travel (even when someone ends up in jail).
- A family fundraiser—Ok, this one would be a gift for me personally. If I were to choose a career other than Public Relations/Communications, I would start my own charity. I love to give back to the community, especially when I get to do that in a very hands-on way, like building a house or a school (which I've never done but would LOVE to do). This Christmas gift idea would also work well because my housemates feel the same way.
My Christmas gift ideas are cost-effective for my housemates:
- A family tradition—there is no cost associated with this idea because all the housemate has to do is brainstorm a feasible family tradition we can all sustain and participate in no matter where we end up moving to or living in the world (my family has a habit of exploring new places).
- A family fun day—this idea could be cheap. If we do something with costs, each person will pay for themselves. If we do something small like a games night, the housemate will buy things like snacks and drinks or pay for everyone if we go sledding.
- A family (road) trip—all the housemate has to do for this idea is organize the trip and we'll individually pay our own costs like gas or plane ticket, foods, and hotel (if necessary).
- A family fundraiser—this is another idea that won't cost the housemate any money. The housemate's role is to brainstorm a charity we could give to, organize the fundraiser, including registering everyone or ordering t-shirts (if needed). Each housemate will pay for his/her own costs such as a registration fee.
My housemates will choose their envelopes this weekend. I might write a post to share update when each idea is completed.
In the meantime, feel free to share your gift ideas for any occasion!
HAPPY Holidays.

[…] the holidays, I wrote a blog post about what I wanted for Christmas from my mini family. I had four Christmas gift ideas for the four people I live with, not including our families that are spread out around the world. […]

Okay, been beavering away on a new book, the working title of which is 'Tesla vs The Martians'. It's a stretched version of the short story 'Alternate Currents' included in the recent anthology 'Dark Currents' publish by NewCon Press and deals, as the title suggests, with how Nikola Tesla (the unbergenius who gave us electric power generation) battles it out with some Martian nasties trying to take over the world. I've shifted the action to Russia of 1906, the time of the first Revolution, the Duma, Marxist revolutionaries and enormous social upheavals, so it's a perfect setting for a writer. Meshing history with my SF fantasy was a little tricky, but in the end I only had to take one liberty with the timeline so I'm quite chuffed about that.
All-in-all I'm pretty pleased with it but now comes the difficult bit: polishing it into a readable story. A couple of the characters I've got to make a little more extreme and I want to push up the gore count but Tesla (who was a real wack-a-doodle anyway) sits really well in all this made-up mayhem.

The city
It has been said that it was La Pira's experience as mayor that enabled him to develop and fully express his own approach to political commitment. As mayor, he saw the problems that came from actually putting into practice the principles he had developed and debated as a member of the Constituent. He made use of his experience in dealing with social and trade union claims as undersecretary of State to the Ministry of Labour to administering the city; as the person in charge of city life, he performed his tasks with the same sensibility towards the needs of the weak and needy that he had honed during his lengthy experiences in social work.
Although not Florentine by birth La Pira, understood and interpreted the identity and the history of Florence, and brought to the office of mayor the role of guarantor of citizens' rights – the right to a home, the right to work, the right to peace and so on.
Contrary to what many political journalists had been writing for some time, La Pira was a careful administrator, and in addition to the many of the other measures passed by the city government he presided over there were the bridges over the river Arno, the central dairy, the new municipal theatre and the revitalisation of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, the town plan and the construction of 17 new schools, as well as flyovers, underpasses etc..

Barbican Centre, London
By Tom Stewart
As leader of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Richard Tognetti has made the group a byword for excitement and innovation. This concert, part of his Barbican residency, showed off his wizardry in more intimate collaborations too.
The first half of the evening showcased the exciting talents of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama's electronic music department, some of whom also contributed to Tognetti's set later on. After the ebullient riffs of a pre-concert Philip Glass tribute, a theremin's oneiric warble heralded their main offering, Timeline Electronic, an audiovisual journey from electronic music's esoteric beginnings at the turn of the twentieth century to its all-pervading presence today. As works like John Cage's Imaginary Landscape No.4 ('performed' using longwave radios) and Steve Reich's Pendulum Music emerged, images of giant mainframe computers appeared behind them, followed by Moog synthesisers, ABBA and Whitney Houston.
Although the music and images were both interesting historical artefacts, they weren't always well matched, and the idea lost some drama as a result. Tognetti's set, which opened with a short piece by him and arrangements of two Aphex Twin tracks, was a masterful interweaving of music and film. Jon Frank's video projections of ripples of water becoming ripples of sand, and of enormous patterns being drawn on a beach, were mesmerising. Combined with the music, they evoked the Australian landscape with the awe and mystery of Ted Kotcheff's 1971 outback thriller Wake in Fright.
Satu Vänskä, the ACO assistant leader and Tognetti's wife, was more than equal to the programme's diverse requirements, from the husky, pleading vocals in a cover of Nine Inch Nails' Something I Can Never Have, to spectacular violin pyrotechnics elsewhere. Two acoustic duo pieces showed off the pair's ability to mimic, shadow and magnify each other's every move: a Mephistophelean rendering of Paganini's fifth caprice with 'a crazy counterpoint' by Tognetti, and An Island off an Island off an Island by Melbourne composer Anthony Pateras. Vänskä and Tognetti pulled at its long, clawing dissonances, so sympathetic to each other's sound that the two violins formed one pulsating instrument.
Occasionally, the visuals were so captivating that they seemed more like the main event, but that was not to the detriment of anybody's work. The final piece was music-only. Introduced by Vänskä as 'a love song', Heston was a punkish tribute to Heston Blumenthal (an acquaintance of the couple) and an appropriate way to finish an evening that occasionally achieved mesmerising alchemy.

Lavender is one of the most versatile plants that you can have in your garden.
It is there for when you are feeling poorly, tired, hungry or even if you have a small cut or graze. If fresh lavender is not available to you, there is still the choice of dried lavender or even Lavender Essential oil.
One of my favourite things to do with lavender is to make lavender sugar, I use it in homemade drinks, adding to lemonade, in my tea or even in some homemade cocktails. You can even add Lavender Sugar to some of your baking recipes.
There is much more to lavender than its delightful scent and beautful flowers. You can even plant Lavender next to your prized fruit and veg to deter those pesky little bunnies from eating all of your carrots!

Get your Rocks off: Chunky Vauxhall Adam due for Geneva unveiling
Just when you thought the marketing bods at Vauxhall had run out of ideas for the column-inch-hunting Adam, they go and pull the 'soft-roader' card.
The Vauxhall Adam Rocks (as in it rocks and can drive on rocks... sort of) is set for a big Geneva unveiling and it will 'wow' crowds with its raised ride height, wider stance and chunky body addenda.
According to Vauxhall, the new model is inspired by "agile parkour athletes" (so not the lumbering ones, then) because they "move from one place to another, negotiating urban obstacles in between."
That means the dampers, springs, rear suspension geometry and steering have been fettled to cope with rougher terrain and Vauxhall has whacked on some 'anthracite-coloured cladding' to make it look a little tougher.
The marketing department has also wheeled out the Big Book of Puns again as new paint colours, including the vibrant yellow 'Goldbusters', will be available from launch.
Another first on the Adam Rocks is a folding canvas roof that peels back to give the occupants a sense of open-top fun. The roof is electrically operated via a switch on the dashboard and can be folded back in just five seconds.
The Rocks model will also be the first to sport Vauxhall's new 1.0-litre Ecotec direct-injection, three-cylinder engine that produces around 113bhp. Vauxhall is yet to release any official economy figures.
"Adam Rocks combines the toughness of a crossover with the coolness of open air driving," said Stuart Harris, Vauxhall's Head of Carline Brand.
"It's the perfect Adam for active drivers wanting to stand out from the crowd."
Customers will be able to make their own minds up towards the end of the summer when production begins in Germany.
