Death And Dying.
I never was one for the death penalty but, I often wonder how the person who pulls the switch or give that fatal injection felt. I was reading this article about a Pastor Carroll Pickett's who once worked as a minister with Texas inmates just before their executions. Pickett stated they he once was in favor of the death penalty until he started to work with the inmates and the victims family. Pickett's said some inmates talked and talked before their execution weather they were guilty or not. He stated that some was guilty and some not. Pickett said that many were mentally retarded with the majority being Hispanic or Black. He said they only executed one who had a college degree. The average was only up to the 9th grade. MOST OF THE MEN WERE HIGH ON DRUGS OR ALCOHOL WHEN THEY COMMITTED THEIR CRIMES. Pastor Pickett said he's NOT convinced there is no pain with an execution. He heard signs of pain during executions--often happening more when the inmate would fight with the procedure. "Most of them wanted physical contact--wanted me to hold their hand but I couldn't" he said, "but I never lost contact with them, none of them." "IT'S BURNING" he would sometimes hear. "A LOT OF THEM WOULD NOT GO COMPLETELY TO SLEEP WITH THE FIRST DRUG...SOMETIMES THE NOISES WERE NOT JUST AIR BUT PAIN." Pickett kept emphasizing to how important it was that the one to be executed not fight. Pickett was ask about how he would face his own death and his response was I am not afraid too die I led (these men their ) last eight steps and many were not afraid to die.

She Died in a Sunset Strip Hit-and-Run. Now a Mural Will Commemorate Her Life
One of Michael Owen's Love Project murals
Courtesy of the artist
Lauren Ann Freeman was trying to live right on the night of Nov. 10, 2010.
After a night out seeing a favorite band at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip, the 21-year-old art school graduate hailed a taxi for herself and her friends. She didn't want anyone drinking and driving.
But Freeman didn't make it into that backseat.
Thirty-four-year-old Ryan Bowman, previously best-known for his work distributing Girls Gone Wild content in Australia, was driving a charcoal-colored, six-figure Bentley when it plowed into the young woman, tossing her 50 feet down the famous boulevard and ultimately killing her.

Bowman drove off with out stopping, and his damaged Bentley was found a mile or so away from the club, sans its plates, the next afternoon. Bowman turned himself in and, with the help of all the lawyering money can buy, got a plea deal that had him admitting guilt to leaving the scene of an accident.
This week Baltimore artist Michael Owen, known for his Love Project series that features four hands spelling out "love" on 20 murals in that city, is coming to town to dedicate a similar piece in Freeman's memory. It will adorn a large wall on the side of the Roxy.
The artist is trying to raise $15,000 by Saturday via the website GoFundMe to bring Freeman's Baltimore-based parents to West Hollywood to see his work this weekend and to help defray his own costs, he told us.
"We wanted it to be funded by the people," he said. "This is way for people to get behind the work."
Owen says he was contacted on Facebook by Freeman's mother, Donna Freeman, who asked him if he could dedicate a Love Project to her late child. He says:
When I heard Donna's story, and she contacted me, I couldn't help but want to help. Being able to memorialize a loved one with the word love is something I want to get behind. We came up with the idea to put it up on the Roxy, and they were down to be a part of it.
Owen will create the work in front of friends and family, with live music playing, on Saturday, he said.
"It's not just black hands," the artist said. "It will be filled with words and colors that pay homage to Lauren's spirit."

(Vol. LXV, 1955, pp. 88-90)
QUESTION: In the area in which my Temple is located, we increase our membership by attracting men and women from Orthodox and Conservative homes. The new members, when principals in a wedding ceremony, will often ask that the older forms to which they are accustomed be retained in the service. These include the covering of the head by all participants, the reading of the traditional Ketuba, and the breaking of the glass.
Similar requests come at times from the parents of a Bar Mitzvah. To please an older member of the family, they would have the boy wear Talit and skull-cap during the Bar Mitzvah ceremony.
The members of our Ritual Committee take the stand that the rabbi of the Temple, when acting as officiating minister, must conform to the practices of Reform Judaism. They likewise insist that the Bar Mitzvah ceremony as conducted in our Temple must be viewed as a form of initiation into the ways of Reform Judaism, and should therefore present no feature that is glaringly inconsistent with our established practices.
What do you think of the position taken by the Ritual Committee?
ANSWER: There is an erroneous impression abroad, which we have done little to dispel, that while the undevising traditionalists are ruled by a sense of loyalty to Torah, we who have espoused the principle of Reform are guided by such motives as personal convenience and temperamental preference.
Of course, the student of our religious history knows quite well that the forms and customs sanctified by tradition had their origin not in a special divine revelation but in the compelling conditions of human living. As life changes and new situations arise, there also springs up the need for other ways and methods by which the high purposes of our faith may best be fulfilled.
What passes for Torah-true Judaism reflects very often a contemptuous disregard for the needs of the present, and not solely a tender attachment to the teachings of the past; and what draws so often the fire of our opponents against us, carrying the taunt that we play fast and loose with tradition, issues just as often from a deep conviction that the discipline of religion, even as the spirit of religion, must be rooted in reality and not in sheer fantasy.
Reform Judaism has eliminated the Ketuba from the marriage ceremony for the good and sufficient reason that the changes which have taken place in Jewish life and law have divested the document of its ancient meaning and importance. Long before the rise of Reform, the judicious curtailment of the right of the husband to divorce his wife against her will nullified the practical usefulness of the Ketuba, making its retention in our time an empty, meaningless formality (Mielziner, The Jewish Law of Marriage and Divorce, pp. 88-89).
Nor is the omission of the breaking of the glass from our marriage ceremony dictated by anything other than the very doubtful nature and value of the explosive gesture. Whether the practice was originally intended to curb excessive hilarity on a joyous occasion, or to recall the destruction of the Temple at Jerusalem, or-- as Lauterbach would have--to frighten away evil spirits (Freehof, Reform Jewish Practice, vol. 1, p. 98), it is certain that the crude dramatic performance tends to distract rather than to inspire, to mar rather than to enhance the impressiveness of the occasion.
As to the clamorous insistence that we must keep the head covered while at prayer, one need but read Lauterbach's exhaustive and illuminating study of the subject to realize the restricted and uncertain character of the custom (CCAR Yearbook, vol. 38, pp. 589-603). While in Babylonia Jews worshiped with heads covered, in Palestine it was the custom to worship bareheaded. In the early medieval period, the Spanish Jews followed the Babylonian practice, while the French and German Jews followed the Palestinian practice. As late as the 18th century, the Wilna Gaon, unable to find support for the custom in Jewish law, reduced the question to a mere matter of good manners. Since in our time, and in this land, it is the very best of manners to express respect by uncovering the head, we should think it an act of willful and useless self-isolation when an American Jew chooses to make of the skull-cap an important symbol of Jewish piety.
Of course, there is here, as elsewhere, the important person, the "older member of the family," whose fixed habits make him uncomfortable in the presence of change; but then, there is also the rebuke administered to Joseph by the Patriarch: "Shall I and thy mother and ~thy brethren come to bow down to thee?"
The firm stand taken by the Ritual Committee augers well for the continued stability of our Reform religious practices.
Israel Bettan

Big blue wireless bluetooth speakers by Brookstone really amazed us in the previous years. They provide a clear and exciting alternative style to either ultra-portable or desktop audio solutions.
The Big blue wireless bluetooth speakers have been upgraded recently, as the business produced an actually more substantial style statement using the 2012 Big Blue Media Tower system, that freestanding $400 device ended up being considerably better looking than thesound it produced.
At more than 38-inch high, the massive audio structure presented 5 drivers which supplied flat sound with no noticeable stereo separation. Appearing just before the end of 2013, Brookstone's brand new Big Blue Party ($300) is actually a compromise between the $150 Big Blue Studio and the Media Tower.
The media tower itself is nearly 16″ high, made of a mainly metal chassis using a 6.2″ curved square footprint, which provides six speaker drivers as well as a rechargeable battery within the system. The Big Blue Party tower is designed for indoor or outdoor use. It's water-resistant and appears to be like a futuristic reactor core from an action movie. Although debatably niche in attractiveness, it's an illustration of how a company is able to take advantage of both industrial style and compelling functions to ardently fulfill the desire of a specific market of customers.
An integrated black wall adapter may be employed to either power the device indoors, or get 5 hrs to recharge the internal battery for 4.5 hours of play time outdoors. Whereas this certainly is not a great deal of nonstop music operation, it is at the same time not a big surprise given the dimensions or planned application of this unit.
Audio systems intended for outside usage typically require a great deal of power, especially at massive volume levels. So the minimal run time at a minimum is practical in this case. If you remove the power cable, you will be able to go entirely wireless, combining Party's Bluetooth 2.1 chip with your preferred iOS unit or 7th-generation iPod nano for sound streaming.
You will have to watch the range between your sound device and the speaker. We started to encounter audio dropouts at about the 45-foot mark, which indicates that Big Blue Party delivers the 33-foot range promised by most Bluetooth units. However, it does not surpass it by as much as some of the more current Bluetooth audio systems that have been tested. Virtually no 3.5mm audio wire is bundled in the system. However, if you want to self-supply one, you may use Party in a wired mode along with any kind of unit you may perhaps possess.

A civil rights attorney helps protect the personal rights granted to you by the government. When someone violates those rights, a civil rights attorney can help you make them stop these violations, or repay you for any damage they have done to you. Your civil rights are spelled out in federal and state constitutions and in discrimination laws. In fact, civil rights attorneys are sometimes called discrimination attorneys because they frequently handle cases involving a person being treated differently based on gender, age, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.

Here is an extensive list of all the questions we typically get asked by our hopsters – FAQ (frequently asked questions). If there is something that you want to know, and we have not covered it here then feel free to contact us and we will get back to you!
General Questions about Peru Hop:
What is Peru Hop
Peru Hop is the first Hop on Hop off bus service in Peru. Our service covers the whole South of Peru, taking in world famous stops such as Cusco (gateway to Machu Picchu), Puno (Lake Titicaca – highest navigable lake in the world), Arequipa (Colca Canyon…second deepest canyon in the world), Huacachina (South America´s only desert oasis), Nazca (world famous Nazca Lines) and Paracas (home of the Ballestas Islands, the mini Galapago´s). However, the best thing about Peru Hop is that not only do we cover all of these world famous destinations, but we actually stop between the stops to see places that normally tourists don´t get to see.
What exactly is HOP ON HOP OFF?
Imagine we are like the open top red city tour buses you see throughout the world, where you go to maybe 20 places on every tour to see the whole city in just one day. The buses run every 15 minutes and you can hop off, take a look around at one place and get back on another bus (hop on) and continue to the next destination. Well this is the concept we follow. We have a recommended amount of time at each destination based on our expertise, but if you fall in love with a place, or a local Latino, then hop off and get on the next bus (hop on) whenever he breaks your heart! All our passes are valid for 1 year in 1 direction, so you can literally take as long as you want at each place or follow our recommended schedule!
How many nights do we recommend at each stop?
We usually recommend 1 night in Paracas, Huacachina and Puno, with 2 nights in Arequipa so you can visit the Colca Canyon. Nazca is a place you can do a day trip to do a Nazca Lines flight but most people do not stay long there. However, remember that our bus passes are incredibly flexible, so you can take as long as you want at each stop, or you can skip some stops or move faster if you wish…simply check our timetables and you can see how quickly you can see and do everything if you are short on time.
Do I need to book hotels or hostels in advance?
The amazing thing about Peru Hop is that everything can be booked on our bus. You can book your accommodation or some extra tours with your Peru Hop on board guide on the bus. However, please note that if you want a private room, we do recommend you book in advance as these can be quite limited. Dorm beds are usually freely available except during holiday weekends here in Peru (Easter and around the 28th of July which is Independence Day).
Don´t forget that with your Peru Hop ticket, you can get exclusive discounts on dorms, private rooms and hotels…simply check our discounts page for more information!
How do I hop on and hop off?
It is very easy to hop on and hop off. Basically, when you arrive at a destination, your guide will tell you when the next bus is leaving, and if you would like to continue with the recommended schedule, or stay longer.
You can tell him you want to hop off. He will pause your pass for you and then you can simply login to our booking system using your unique booking code where you can book a seat on any of the next buses… it really is that easy.
All hostels and hotels have Wi-Fi for you to use, and in the worst case scenario, you can call our office from reception… don´t worry we have never lost anybody along the way… yet!!
Can I simply follow the recommended itinerary?
I have fixed dates and want my whole trip planned. This is no issue whatsoever and around 70% of passengers follow our recommended plan. If you also want to adapt your itinerary, and know you want 2 days in Paracas for example, 3 in Puno etc, this is no issue at all.
Once you book your ticket, you can then login to the system and change the dates of all the buses to match your itinerary…it's that simple! If you do plan to follow the recommended itinerary, you do not need to do anything… just sit back, relax and enjoy the trip!
Is Peru Hop available to everybody?
I am 60 years old and traveling with my family – We have had passengers as young as 2 years old to passengers 86 years old, and they have all loved traveling with Peru Hop.
Please read our section "Who travels with us" where we clearly explain why Peru Hop is perfect for every single type of tourist, so in short, Peru Hop is really available to everyone!
I am travelling in a group... will we all get on the same bus?
The best option is to all book together on our website. Our booking system is very similar to airline flights so think along those lines. If you are booking in advance, feel free to drop us an email at email@example.com and we can arrange group bookings, or even a small discount for groups of 3 or more!
How safe are the buses?
Our buses are operated in conjunction with Inka Express, award winning industry leaders in buses in Peru. Our buses are all less than 3 years old, have the latest high tech braking and suspension systems and are all monitored 24 hours by GPS tracking system.
Not just that, all buses on our longer journeys have 2 drivers who swap shifts every 4 hours to avoid tiredness.
Finally, all buses also have our Peru Hop guide on board who is constantly monitoring the drivers and their velocity, and we are very proud to say that, touch wood, we have not been involved in any accidents since our first trip in October 2013.
We are owned by 2 Irishmen, so we really do put extra emphasis and try to bring European standards of safety to our buses.
If I book online how do I receive my ticket?
You will receive a confirmation email within 2hrs confirming your purchase. As a part of this you will receive your booking voucher which needs to be printed off and handed to your guide as you board the bus.
You can also show this voucher on your smartphone if you have one. Once you do this, you will be handed your Peru Hop wristband by your guide, which acts as your ticket.
How do I book extra tours?
We recommend to book your tours a couple of days in advance using the link on the tours section page of this website for each operator.
SPECIAL DEAL FOR PERU HOP PASSENGERS: tours booked with these selected operators via FindLocalTrips.com allow date changes right up until the day before your tour begins at no extra cost.
Who are the guides?
All our guides are proud Peruvians (fluent in both English and Spanish) who know their country better than any of us ever could. They know all the hidden gems, all the best (and cheapest) places to eat and drink, and they will teach you things about Peru that you simply cannot read about in any guidebook or website.
Our guides are great, friendly people who are really proud to have the opportunity to show tourists around their country, so we are very confident you will like your onboard guide, no matter which one is on your bus!
Where do we eat?
At each destination we usually have deals with 2 or 3 restaurants that we think are the best value places to eat.
You are free to eat wherever you want… remember Peru Hop is not a tour so you are free to go where you want and do whatever you want.
Our guides will simply give you their recommendations, but we do NOT earn commission from any restaurant unlike other tour agencies… we simply ask the restaurants to give us discounts for our passengers as an extra benefit of traveling with Peru Hop compared to traveling with other companies.
Do I need personal travel insurance?
We would recommend taking out personal travel insurance before you come to Peru as losses of property, sickness or accidents can occur no matter where you are in the world and are not the responsibility of Peru Hop.
Planning in advance:
What is the best way to get from Lima (Jorge Chavez) Airport into Miraflores Lima City?
Miraflores now has a direct bus link between it and the airport in Callao (Jorge Chavez International and Domestic Airport) via the new official service Airport Express Lima. These new luxury buses are equipped with free wifi and usb charging ports at every seat. Tickets are $10 one way.
What is the language of Peru?
Spanish is the national language of Peru. English is spoken by hostel receptionists and service staff in touristy areas, but most taxi drivers do NOT speak English.
What currency is used in Peru?
The Peruvian Sol (soles) is the national currency, although US dollars are generally accepted in most places up to a certain amount.
How much cash do I need?
We recommend bringing some Peruvian soles and some US Dollars with you, maybe a total 250 soles and $200. This will be enough to last you 4 or 5days before you need to withdraw from your ATM.
How much will I spend in Peru?
Hostels average $9 a night and private rooms range from $20 per room up, depending on the quality of the hostel or hotel. 3 meals (breakfast / lunch / dinner) will average around $12-$20 a day. Large beers generally cost $3 and water around about $0.50. Tours are obviously an additional cost.
Are ATM´s safe in Peru?
In general using the ATM´s here are fine, however we DO NOT recommened using them at night for obvious reasons. We recommend using ATM´s of the bigger banks in Peru and not the small ATM´s in petrol stations etc as they tend to have higher charges. The biggest and safest banks in Peru are Scotiabank, Interbank, BCP, Banco de la Nation, Banco Continental, BBVA
What should I bring with me to Peru?
A small backpack for day trips / treks is essential, towel, suncream, sunglasses, camera, comfortable trainers, clothes for Summer and Winter weather (sun and rain!) etc… you know the drill!
Do I need ID in Peru?
Yes. Passport id is required by Peru Hop and by every hostel in Peru. It is also required at the airport so don´t be a silly hopster and forget it!!
We recommend to bring a couple of photocopies too that you can use instead of taking your passport with you everywhere you go.
Do I need any vaccines in Peru?
Vaccines are not necessary for any portion of the Peru Hop trip. However if you plan on visiting the Amazon jungle, you may need some vaccines so please consult your local doctor.
Will I have any problems with altitude in Peru?
Generally it is recommended to give yourself a day or 2 to acclimatise before doing any treks at altitude. Arriving by bus is definitely more helpful than getting a plane as the arrival to altitude is much more gradual.
It is also recommended to take some altitude sickness pills and eat Coco leaves and drink Coco Tea… our guides will assist you with any issues. On our trip, Arequipa, Puno and Cusco are the 3 places that altitude could affect some hopsters, but Arequipa is definitely a great place to acclimatise on the way to Cusco.
Safety and Security:
How safe is Peru?
Like all countries in the world, there are parts that are really safe and parts that are dangerous, but it is all about being vigilant and aware of where you are and not taking your safety for granted. Some people see tourists as easy targets for money, laptops, cameras etc, so always be aware of pickpockets We are tourists who have lived here for over a year and have never been robbed or attacked, like we say it is all about being vigilant and aware and listening to the advice of our guides, hostel receptionists and the local people. For example, never use an ATM at night if possible, never walk alone at night, and try to always stay in a group. Basic things like this can sometimes be forgotten and these are the tourists who get targeted.
How safe are the buses?
All our buses are regularly checked for faults and have to pass rigorous inspections monthly before they are deemed fit for the road. They are of the highest quality and no risks are ever taken. Please see the section called OUR HOP BUSES for more information about this.
How safe are the drivers? Are they qualified?
Each of our drivers is licensed by the Peruvian Government to operate our buses. We conduct regular reviews and inspections of all drivers to ensure they are adhering to all of our safety procedures.
We also encourage hopsters to review their drivers, how safe they felt on board etc and we use these reviews to determine which drivers are good enough to operate our buses.
What safety procedures are in place?
For the longer journeys, we have 2 drivers per bus swapping shifts every 4 hours to avoid tiredness. Our drivers get lots of rest time in between journeys so they are alert and fresh to operate our buses.
We also have all our buses monitored by GPS 24hrs a day to ensure no unplanned stops are taken and that the correct route is being followed at all times and the maximum speed is being followed. Seatbelts are of course provided for all hopsters.
Where is my bag stored while on the trip?
Your large bags will be stored in our luggage sections of the bus while you keep your personal belongings on you. In hostels and hotels, lockers are provided for all valuables.
How safe are public buses/taxis?
Buses are generally safe but we would highly recommend using taxi's. Taxi's are generally safer and quite cheap. Bargain and agree the price BEFORE you get in… Taxi´s here don´t have meters. Also make sure you always agree the price in SOLES.
Purchasing Peru Hop passes:
If I book online how do I receive my ticket?
You will receive a confirmation email within 2hrs confirming your purchase. As a part of this you will receive your booking voucher which needs to be printed off and handed to your guide as you board the bus.
You can also show this voucher on your smartphone if you have one. Once you do this, you will be handed your Peru Hop wristband by your guide, which acts as your ticket.
How do I begin my travel?
When booking your pass, you will always be asked for your chosen pick up point. If you are not sure of this at the time of booking, simply email us 3 days before your trip is due to begin to let us know where we can collect you from.
CUSCO DEPARTURES: It is illegal for our large buses to enter the historical centre of Cusco, therefore we ask all our passengers to come to our private terminal located just 5 minutes from the plaza de armas. The exact address will be on your booking confirmation.
How do I find out the departure times of my bus?
All our latest timetables can be found in the timetables section of the website, and you will get a physical copy of this once you start your trip
What if I haven´t received my booking confirmation by email?
Oops, please check your spam / junk mail as maybe it has gone there, but if not email us, details on our contact page, and we will fix this for you asap. Please remember Peru is 6 hrs behind Europe / UK and 15 hours behind Australia / NZ so sometimes we might not reply to you instantly but we have a reputation of being fast to reply.
What if I need to cancel my pass? Can i get a refund?
Yes, all passes purchased can be cancelled, but unfortunately we cannot give full refunds as we need to cover our own costs involved in refunding including the fees involved. As a result, the following are the percentage refunds that we offer to customers who need to cancel their trip for whatever reason:
- 80% refund of the ticket price on any trips cancelled 7 days before travel due to commence
- 60% refund of the ticket price on trips cancelled within 7 days of departure
- 40% refund of the ticket price on trips cancelled within 3 days of departure
Please note that any cancellations made within 2 days of travel are non-refundable. This is simply because it doesn't give us enough time to now try to sell that seat on the bus, so we would in fact lose out here.
Remember, the great thing about Peru Hop is our flexibility, so whilst you may need to cancel your trip now, you can simply change the date of travel as you have up to 1 year to use your ticket. The other option of course is to try to transfer your ticket to a friend or somebody else you know.
How secure are my credit card details?
Your credit card details are stored with our payment processing company who are certified by Visa and Mastercard here in Peru. They are audited every year and have to meet the most stringent of controls regarding credit card data.
They are SSL certified and need adhere to the strictest guidlines in order to maintain this certification, so your details will always be safe with us. As fellow tourists, we know the dangers and worries involved when purchasing anything online in foreign countries, so we have ensured we have got onboard with the best and most trustworthy company here in Peru.

It's getting harder to pick this microphone
up. It is an odd little film as Joanna said. It doesn't really compare to the
body of work you've seen before. I am fairly proud of it. There is a
great story that goes with it, but I'll save it until the end because it is one
of the best stories I have. It really is hilarious and it is about this. It is
like an actor prepares...oh yeah? A bit like that.
I wasn't gonna do this film because they weren't going to pay the money I demanded because I didn't really want to do it. It was presented to me as an American comedy. I'm sitting on the beach at Malibu flicking through this American comedy and not one titter did I have. Not even half a smile! So I'm going, "Maybe it's going to come off the page a little better than this." I just called the agent, "I think it must be me. I don't get this sense of humor." It's much better as a film. Much, much better. It was great fun - I got to sing my own songs. That was when I decided to do it. I don't want to get too much into the story because that would ruin it. They came over to the house I was renting and they hired a rock singer for the part on the cheap because he wanted to be an actor. They fired him after the first few days. Obviously he couldn't do the other bits, but I'm sure his singing was pretty good. Allan Arkush who is a very nice gentleman and very talented, came over with the producer. So I said, "Well, OK. I'll do it on one condition." I saw them visibly react to that wondering what that would be. "The condition is I want to sing my own songs." They said, "Oh, gee. Can you sing?" I went, "Can Mick Jagger sing?" Well, he's done all right of course, though he doesn't speak to me. It's a personal thing. No, I think they're brilliant. I really do. I went straight into the film that Monday and this is it. I did get to sing it and I went into it thinking I would just sing it. It was REALLY difficult! I have tremendous respect for rock singers now, after that. I started trying to sing it properly - forget it! The guy came up to me, the sound engineer, and said, "Why don't just let it go?" I said, "You mean wail?" He went, "Wail." I said, "OK, but I am an actor so I really want to annunciate the words." And I did too. You can understand every word I believe. I'm going to boast a bit, John Lennon's producer, that had done his last album...Double Fantasy was it? He called me and he said, "I know you sang those songs in that film didn't you?" I said, "How did you know?" "Because I understood every word." I thought, "Dammit!!! One mistake! I should've blurred the words a few times or only half sung them." Because I'm still trying to work out what Dylan said (sings) "All the wild horses in the sun..." Then what? What is it then? I could never, ever for years figure it out. For 30 years I've been trying to figure that one out. Well, here it is. This crazy, crazy thing. Alan wrote it and it depicts the last concert at the Fillmore East - that was his term of reference. There is some great people in it. Lou Reed is in it. Was it? I've only seen it once and I was in hospital. Thank you. Enjoy it.
Originally titled "Flip Out", but was only released under that name in Italy.
A professional singer was hired for Malcolm's role, but couldn't act and was fired.
The same director also made "Rock and Roll High School" with The Ramones.
Features real musicians - Lee Ving + Philo Cramer of Fear, Lou Reed, Fabian, Bobby Sherman, Jonathan Melvoin and Howard Kaylan of the Turtles.
Special thanks to David Braun, Ken Karman, Joanne Arkush and the groups & entire staff of the Fillmore East (1968-71)
Bette Midler made a music video of "Beast of Burden" on the same set at the same time, in which both Stacy Nelkin and Mick Jagger appear.
Reggie's line "catch ya later" to Neil is an inside joke since they had just made Blue Thunder and that was his catch phrase from the film.

MM: Well, they can't all be masterpieces! I had fun and that's the main thing. That was Allan Arkush at the end throwing stuff - great scene. To finish the story - I'm reading the script and I say to my agent, "Look. I want the money that I get for a full movie for three weeks." He went, "I don't think...well...fine" That was my way of getting out of it without actually saying "no". Nobody likes rejection. They cast somebody else and a week later my agent calls back to say, "By the way they are going to pay. You are doing that film - that comedy." I went, "What comedy?" "You know Get Crazy." I went, "Oh, my god. I threw the script away. I never finished it to the end." I was doing it that Monday. The director comes around am I'm thinking all I have to do is sing the songs. I'm sitting in the make-up chair, it was that quick, next to one of the other actors. He says, "It's really a privilege to work with you." I go, "Thank you." He goes, "No! I mean it is fantastic. How are you going to play that end scene?" "I'm just going to play it. What do you mean?" He goes, "You know...the one where you have the scene with your own dick." What the hell is he on!? "Don't worry. When I get to it we'll be fine." The guy leaves to do the shot and I go, "Has anybody got a script!? What the hell is this?" (reads it) "Oh...my...god!! What the hell is this!? Oh, shit! Why didn't I finish that script?" We do the scene, that's it - the film is over. My wife Kelley and I are in Krakow, it must be a good twelve years later. We're in a restaurant, shooting a film there. We're upstairs in the dining room and we walk downstairs and there was a bar before you get to the front door. A guy is sitting at the bar, this Polish guy, he's a little bit drunk I think. He just looks at me and instantly goes, (does voice) "How's your manager?" Stopped me dead in my tracks. I used to go into car washes in LA and they would be going, (yells) "Hey man it's Reggie!! Reggie Wanker!" "Excuse me?" "Reggie!! Reggie!!" "Oh, yes. Reggie that's right." The producer was very pissed off at me because he asked me what name I could give this character. I said, "How about Reggie Wanker?" So they had all these T-shirts made up.
Q: I hope you have one?
MM: I don't think so. Joanna, you are getting very good at this stand-up I must say. Anyway, if there are any questions? What you see is what you get. There are no questions to be ask.
Q: Did you meet Lou Reed?
MM: No. I never worked with Lou Reed. I only did three weeks. They crammed mine into one period of three weeks. That was it - I'm out. I only met that crazy nut Lee Ving. It was literally being off then on. Nadia helped me do some choreography or tried.
Q: You did your own choreography?
MM: I just said I'm not going to do all that bullshit I'm going to Rod the Bod! It's Rod the Bod. I was a little bit out of sorts, I was not quite fit as I am today. I thought it would be perfect to show up like he was over the hill. Over the hill! He looks a bit like William Shatner with a girdle. It was perfect.
Q: When you did the promotion for Get Crazy in a lot of the interviews you mentioned a roll in Tin Soldiers where you were going to sing ten songs. I always wondered what happened to it?
MM: In who? Was I? They must've backed out. The probably saw the film (Get Crazy).
Q: Did you understand every word you sung?
MM: Every word. I haven't even thought about those songs...
Q: It definitely shows you could do a musical.
MM: I could, certainly, yes. One is an actor.
Q: What kind of music did you listen to back then? And what about now?
MM: I haven't got a clue. It was twenty years ago. Probably the same music I'm into now. Van Morrison. Van the man! I've always loved his stuff. Who do I like now? I don't know. Ben Harper I like...Van Morrison....Van Morrison....Van Morrison. My kids are sick of riding with me in the car. "Oh, not that again dad!"
Q: What can you tell us about the theater. What is a set?
MM: It was the last concert...hardly a concert. They rented it. It was the Wilshire Theater on Wilshire and Winter the crossroads there. It's a genuine, beautiful 20s theater that is being restored I'm happy to say. It's absolutely fantastic, a beautiful theater. We trashed it just before they restored it. They knew we were going to do it, so they didn't mind.
Q: They did it in great spirit when they trashed it?
MM: Oh, yeah. It's a very well meaning harmless film.
Q: It was meant to be sold to the teenagers, but that didn't work out?
MM: Who knows? I mean...
Q: There are some people that liked it right?
MM: Yes! It is fun, it's harmless...we're not curing cancer. Exactly - there is room for it. It's not pretentious which is why I like the film. It's really not pretentious. It is what it is. So yeah wicked humor. Anybody else?
Q: What else were you working on in 80/81?
MM: I have no idea. I honestly don't remember. In 80 I did Look Back in Anger in New York at The Roundabout on the live stage. In 81 I did Blue Thunder. That's why we did, "Catch ya later." Because it was sort of in joke because Danny was in Blue Thunder. He's a very good actor, Daniel Stern.
Q: You say that in Blue Thunder to Roy Scheider.
MM: Yeah, exactly. It is a complete steal. It is all a bit "in" like that. That's probably a bit pretentious, but I couldn't think of anything else to do. I was sort of sending him up. It was pretty much the same sort of relationship I had with him in the other film. I was the real snotty bastard and he was the young innocent. It was a fun part to do.
Q: It is hilarious when you do the last song after the one before.
MM: Of course. It's ridiculous. Really. But this is what they are like! I've seen Rod the Bod. I've seen Mick prancing around and singing this crap as if it was the god head. To a lot of people it is! It is. These lyrics that are zipped off on the back of an envelope become how we live our lives...or some of us.
Q: I have seen this movie I don't know how many times...
MM: Thank you! A man of taste! Smart move. I hear a lot of Rock and Rollers really love it, but that doesn't surprise me.
Q: We have an ex-rock and roller and critic Jay Cocks here...
MM: Not Mike Kaplan again! How did I do Jay?
Q: Somewhere between The Last Waltz and Rock and Roll High School.
MM: Oh, no. Yeah, perfect. I think so. This is my last thing. I would like to thank you Joanna, yes. She arranged it, she brought me here. And the Lincoln Film Society. If you are not a member, please become one because it really is the one place on the planet probably - this and the National Film Theater in London, that's about it. This is the most magnificent place to see odd films. She gets very odd people to come from time to time. I want to thank you and of course my dear friend Mike Kaplan, is the staffing circle of all time. Here's the man who produced the Whales of August. Is he here? No he's not. He produced it and my friend Lindsay Anderson said, "What do you think about this? Do you think it'll ever go?" I went, "No chance. Never be made, you'll never get the money." He says, "Good." So get this. Mike Kaplan is looking for Lillian Gishes' older sister. Now there's nobody older on the planet! He was lucky she was still there. He's looking for an actress to play Lillian Gishes' older sister. What kind of producer is that?! He finally finds one, Bette Davis, who is twenty years younger, but just looks older because she has had that kind of life. She had a stroke, poor dear. Anyway I get this card from Lindsay Anderson, "You fucking idiot!! Started shooting last Monday!" So there you are. That's Mike Kaplan. I love him, he is a dear friend.
Q: He helped organize this tribute and I wish he was here to thank him.

"That was fun. Playing Mick Jagger was great! They even let me do my own singing. I remember the director saying, 'Can you sing? Well...can Mick Jagger sing? That's a little unkind. Actually he can, he's pretty remarkable." Malcolm in NY 5/24/02

The movie starts as a parody of the opening of Star Wars.
The logo appears on a starfield background and the bottom of a space ship can
be seen going overhead. It is really Max Wolfe in a spacesuit riding a mini
rocket down a wire heading toward a giant 83 on the stage. They crew is testing
out the spaceship for the New Years' Eve grand finale when something goes wrong.
The ship won't stop and he crashes and falls out. The stunt is for Max's 15th Anniversary concert
at his Saturn theater and his last hurrah. Neil, the stage
manager, has to get everything right in time for his first New Years' eve
Max goes back to his office to relax and his slimy nephew Sammy Fox (Fox and Wolfe - geddit?) wants to help run the place. Instead Max sends him out for chili dogs. He passes by a huge crowd of teens and adults camped out in front of the theater for the big show that night. Concert Promoter/Tycoon Colin Beverly and his two yes men goons are coming in for a landing in their helicopter. Whatever Colin says each one of the goons replies with a synonym. The helicopter lands in the middle of the street blowing everything around including clothes off some girls. Sammy is thrilled to see Colin who is his hero because he is wealthy and ruthless. Colin's corporation, Serpent, wants to buy the Saturn as it is prime real estate. Sam is so eager to help him that he walks through a glass door and spills the chili dogs on himself. Colin tells how his first job was as an usher working at the Saturn until Max fired him. Max explains it was because he was scalping tickets, drilling peepholes in the ladies room and other illegal acts. Colin offers Max a contract to buy him out, but Max angrily refuses. Colin gives his final offer of $1.2 million, but Max throws him out. Soon after he gets chest pains and Sammy runs over to help him. Colin and his goons head back to the helicopter. After a minute Sammy realizes he shouldn't be helping Max out because if he dies, Sammy inherits the place. Sam kicks a poodle across the room who bothers him and runs after Colin. Colin totally ignores him until he mentions he will inherit. Suddenly Colin stops and starts to treat him like a friend. He takes him up in the helicopter and offers him the same deal he offered Max, all he needs to do is get Max to sign a contract. He gives him the contract and a parachute and throws him out the moving chopper.
Now Neil is totally running the show as Max is put in a portable bed with a sexy nurse to watch over him. A doctor is called in so he can find out how long he has to live. He is trying to get everything set up on stage when a giant hippie troupe led by Captain Cloud arrives in their magic school bus. They have arrived for the 1968 New Year's Concert, not for the 1983 concert and there isn't any room for them. But Cloud is Max's favorite band so he offers him the closing "Auld Lang Syne". Then Willy the old stage manager shows up. She went out to the west coast and it didn't work out and hopes for a job, but Neil has her job. They are instantly attracted to each other and fantasize that they are Tarzan and Jane and she is wearing a skimpy lingerie outfit.
King Blues is at the funeral of his guitarist. The place is packed with blind blues men who wander around after the funeral and one falls into the grave. Leroy Jr. is the son of the dead guitarist who steps up to take his place and drive the King to the the concert. He also tells him not to call him Jr, but to call him Cool. As long as he plays as well as his father he doesn't care. The son can't drive though as he speeds off in the King's Rolls Royce and hits a tombstone. Along the way he crashes into many things and by the time they reach the Saturn the car is a wreck.
Max decides he is going to get the legendary Auden for the concert. Neil says that is impossible since no one has even heard from him for six years. Max says he won't be able to turn down a death bed request and calls him up. Auden answers and tells him he has writers block and that is why he hasn't done anything in so long. When Max tells him he is dying, Auden is inspired and starts to write again. He agrees to come and heads out of his apartment with his guitar strapped on and starts writing and playing as he walks, not noticing where he is. People have to practically crash to avoid him walking through traffic. He gets a cab and tells the drive to take the scenic route to the Saturn so he can finish the song by the time he gets there.
The word gets out that Auden is coming to the show and Neil's sister Susie is desperate to see him. She is supposed to go to her friends birthday party and neither of them can get out of it. This is the first time we see Reggie as there is a big poster on her wall and when she goes by the eyes on the poster follow her. Susie calls up Neil, but since she is under age he doesn't want to take responsibility for her if their parents don't let her come.
Reggie Wanker is the star of the show and is coming from England in his own personal plane. He and his Swedish vixen, Chantamina, are drinking in the back when Toad, the drummer, heads up to the cabin. He is in a crazy party mode and decides he wants to fly the plane. He knocks the pilot out of the way and flies all over the place. Reggie is setting up some cocaine in the back and has trouble snorting it with Toad spinning the plane. The coke gets in the air like a mist and soon they are feeling no pain.
It is finally time to open the doors and the crowd pours in to the 3000 seat theater. One of the fans is a life sized joint. They show the guards checking the people and what they confiscate from them. Before long the pile fills a room and includes guns, knives, missiles and piles of beer.
The Naz is a 19 year old virgin who works at the theater and is reading a book on how to score, but admits to Neil it is a waste of time. Neil tells him he heard there was another virgin in Buffalo and not to worry with all the people coming tonight. Nada arrives at the back of the theater in her car. She is a Toni Basil cheerleader type with a huge all girl band of around twelve that pours out of the car. When they enter backstage Naz tells the girls they need a pass and they just push right by them. Neil asks Nada where Piggy is and she throws him the keys. They go over to the trunk and let him out. He is a crazed punk who jumps out and begins smashing things including his head against the wall. Every time he hits his head the crowd counts out loud. While he seems like a madman he is smart enough to ask for a percent of the gross. Neil tells him that it is a standard Saturn contract and Piggy signs it by smashing his head against it.
King Blues is upset because he asked for a backup blues band and instead is given a Jews band. Neil tells him not to judge until he hears them play. He relents and before the Jews go out the drummer kisses his girlfriend and they both have braces. Their braces lock together and he can't go on. Neil has to get one of the Saturn stage hands to go out and play who did alright during a sound check, even though he doesn't really play the drums. Neil has to go out and introduce them, but is way too nervous. Willy finally gets him out there and he loves it that the crowd is cheering him. King Blues does his hit songs "Hoochie Coochie Man" and "The Blues Had a Baby and the Named it Rock & Roll".
Everything goes well with the Jews band and when the King gets backstage Captain Cloud gives them some special marijuana joints. The stuff is so good they literally float away from getting so high. Soon after, a new hardass fire inspector arrives telling him he will shut them down if they use any fireworks or pyrotechnics because their extinguishers are not up to standard.
Susie gets into her school girl outfit to fool her parents so she can go to her friends party. When she is out of sight she takes it off to reveal a typical yellow and red type 80s jumpsuit outfit. When she arrives at the theater she is brought over to Neil and he is not happy about her being there and tells her to stay backstage out of trouble. Willy finds out it is her first concert and she encourages her to have fun.
Now when Neil goes out to introduce he has a white suit, glasses and has gotten way to into it. Nada goes on next and chains Piggy to the backstage stairs. She does "I'm Not Gonna Take It" and during the song many guys try to get up on stage and touch her. She does her gymnastic moves and kicks them in the head, knocking them off the stage every time. By the time they are finished Piggy has escaped and comes out to do his own version of "Hoochie Coochie Man." A high King Blues realizes someone is doing his song. In the middle of the song Piggy stage dives into the crowd and they hold him up. While the band plays he tells the people in the balcony to start jumping. Many jump down to the floor including Susie. When they do judges give them scores.
Sam comes in with the contract and tries to fool Max into signing it when crazy Doctor Carver arrives to check out Max. As he is checking him out the stage hands steal pills from his bag. It turns out that all the junk food he has eaten has clogged him up. It isn't a heart attack and he isn't going to die. Sam is screwed since Max isn't going to sign anything. The stage hands are also disappointed because none of the pills they snagged were anything good, mostly aspirin.
The Savage Beast biker gang shows up without tickets and want to be let in backstage. Naz is there by himself and doesn't know what to do. Sam passes him on the way to get a hold of Colin and figure out what he should do. Naz asks Sam what he should do about the bikers and he says "fuck them!" Sam heads downstairs and Naz opens the door and says fuck you and quickly closes it. They then smash through the door to try and kill him.
While downstairs Sam accidentally starts a fire in the basement. He starts to put it out and realizes he can burn the place down and throws garbage on it and cuts the nearby fire hose. He calls Colin on the golf course and tells him what he has done and heads out. He tells Naz to open the door, forgetting about the bikers he is trying to hold back. Naz has got the door barricaded, but Sam opens it anyway. When he does the bikers drive through and run him over. He has tire tracks all over him when he passes out.
Neil and Willy come across the fire and try to put it out, but quickly find out that the hose has been cut. Willy waits while Neil heads to the men's room where the main water valve is. When he goes in the water on the floor is so deep that sharks are swimming in it. He gets to the valve and the fire is put out. Another tragedy avoided.
When Sam finally comes to he knows the place should've been burned down by then and realizes his plan has failed. He gets a hold of Colin and he sends his two yes men with a bomb over to meet him. With things falling into place Colin has all his foreign investors over to his Serpent headquarters to reveal his plan. He has a model of the Saturn and drops a bomb in it and it explodes, sending shrapnel across the room. When the smoke clears a new 80 story building rises from the ashes.
When Nada, Piggy and company leave the stage they head to their dressing room and are upset to find out that all the beer is gone. Enter the bizarre Electric Larry, who looks like an undead cowboy with no face and red eyes, to save the day with his magic metal briefcase of drugs. Reggie arrives and is ready to go.
When Neil goes out to introduce Reggie he tells him, "No one introduces me" and tells him "catch ya later." Neil tells him not to do any fireworks and Reggie says sure. He goes out and does "Hot Shot" prancing around the stage in a white sequined suit and cape. He has that Mick Jagger style and swagger. Backstage Chantamina has done her nails and is waiting for them to dry and one of her eyelashes falls between her breasts. She asks a nearby Neil to retrieve it and he does. Willy walks by and sees him with her hand between her breasts and freaks out. He tries to explain and runs off after her, but she won't hear it.
Sam meets up with the goons at the back and gets the bomb. He decides the best place to hide it is in Max's rocket. The fire inspector is pissed because Reggie has used fireworks and is going to shut them down. After Sam hides the bomb he is running out and crashes into the inspector and both are knocked out. Electric Larry once again shows up in the nick of time and spikes the water cooler with acid. When Neil gets water for Sam he has a life changing experience and soon after turns into a hippie and joins up with Captain Cloud and his band. The inspector soon forgets about shutting down the theater as well.
Willy has left the building and overhears the goons talking about the bomb set for midnight. She tries to get back to the theater, but they notice her and grab her. Auden was seen driving through the desert and now realizes how late it is getting and tells the cabbie to head for the theater fast. The goons throw Willy into their car and drive off. Soon after Auden's cab cuts them off and she is able to escape on foot after the accident and head back to the theater.
During the drum solo Reggie leaves the stage and heads back to the dressing room and blows his girlfriend off. She then asks Naz to get her lashes and he is only too thrilled and even dances with her a bit.
Back in the dressing room Reggie gets it on with a dozen groupies. When his girlfriend walks in on him she can't take it and closes the door. She quickly gets revenge when Naz comes by. She takes him into the next room and shuts the door on his overalls. When she motions him over his clothes come off revealing a huge penis. She exclaims "What a man!" in Swedish.
Reggie finally crawls out from the bottom of the pile of naked ladies and hears his girl next door. He opens the door to discover a steam filled room and is devastated. He turns his back for a minute and this is what she does to him! Wanker has been on top of the game for 20 years, but has lost his edge. He then returns to the stage wearing only a robe and codpiece and says, "Now here is Hoochie Coochie Man our way - my way.'' He breaks into a slow, emotional version. Through his pain he has regained that lost spark, singing better than ever. The girls in the front are in tears and one keeps handing things for him, from flowers to a refrigerator. He is completely drained when he leaves and the crowd goes wild. Backstage he drinks down some of the spiked water and heads for the bathroom. This leads to the strangest scene in the film.
It is now nearly midnight when Willy returns and Neil tries again to apologize, but it doesn't matter now. She explains how Sam has hidden the bomb and they go to find him. He is totally useless as he is now a drugged out hippie. They find the Captain to translate his stoned out ramblings and learn the bomb is in the rocket. The Captain takes the stage and Max is already on his way on the rocket. They radio him to ditch the ball shaped clear bomb in the back compartment. He throws it down to Neil, but misses and the crowd throws it all around. Eventually it heads up and out to the lobby and out the door, landing in Colin's lap in his limo blowing him to bits.
The stage is full with the giant 83 and the hippie troupe singing "Auld Lang Syne" that closes the show. Backstage King Blues invites the stage hand to tour with him on the drums and also takes the wasted Jews band with him. Max finds Neil and gives him the deed to the theater because he is going to retire. Neil and Willy have another fantasy and get back together. He tells her he'll need a stage manager to run the place. The Captain is leaving and Sam wants to join him. He starts running to catch his bus when that poodle from the beginning comes after him. Naz and Chantamina are finishing their marathon sex session and she asks him to marry her and he says "why not?"
While in the bathroom taking a leak, Reggie's penis starts to talk. He explains that now he has felt a great loss, he was able to recapture the spark he lost all those years back. He also tells him that he is going to manage the band and take him back to to the top and to shake on it - but not too hard! The strangest part is at the end Toad comes looking for him to see if he is OK and Reggie is still on the toilet covered in confetti. Reggie tells him, ''Meet our new manager'' as he spreads his legs. Reggie's penis greets him and Reggie replies, ''Go on, give 'em a drink.'' ''Well, I'm not going to touch him!'' and pours it on him!
Auden finally shows up, but he is much too late. He pays the cabbie with a pile of money and is so eager to play his new song that he just plays it for Susie. The End
Get Crazy is a rock and roll send up of the old Fillmore
East theater and the bands who played there.
The movie is a tamer version of "Airplane" with lots of
inside jokes and
sight gags like Frankenstein's monster holding a torch up in the
audience while others hold lighters. It is the kind of film that
needs to be seen a few times to take in all the the background humor.
When I first saw the film in 1984 on cable, I thought it was pretty wild. When I watched it again on VHS 1990 I thought it was pretty funny. The third time I watched it was 1998 to do a write up for the site and I was surprised at how funny I still found it. In 2002 I got the rare chance to see it in the theater. The print was perfect and I still enjoyed the film and wasn't tired of it at all. Though it's funny to laugh at the 80's and remember how things where, it is still a good parody of a rock and roll concert and the people who put them on and attend them.
All of the aspects of a concert are covered except maybe the couples who have sex on the dance floor. The crowds waiting outside, problems behind the scenes, people who dress up, confiscating things on the way in, the bathroom - it is all over the top. I think the film will remain a great time capsule of the music and trends of the time.
Lee Ving is the frontman one of my favorite punk bands, Fear, and almost steals the show. Since he has lived the life it isn't hard for him to play the quintessential punk to the fullest. He has the mohawk, no shirt with cuts on the skin, parachute pants, chains and an attitude to match. Piggy and Nada's band is like a conglomerate of 80s excess, X and Toni Basil all rolled into one instead of a single parody.
Malcolm gets top billing in a smaller role. It is a bit bigger than a cameo as he does have a handful of scenes. He earns his full fee in this one with his British rock star performance based on Rod Stewart and Mick Jagger. Playing the role to the fullest, he is fantastic and an absolute joy to watch. It is also the first film where he is starting to show the white hair. He took the roll because he would do his actual singing and pulls it off well. He does the all out rock song with "Hot Shot" which is a perfect silly ego song of the times which doesn't mean anything. He goes off stage and blows off everyone in perfect big head rock star fashion. When he comes back and breaks into his ballad version of "Hoochie Coochie Man" he again plays it to the hilt. All sweaty and full of big-eyed emotion, like he doesn't even know where he is. His scene with the pile of naked fans might have also been another factor for taking the roll and it is classic that he gets upset when he finds his girl is cheating on him! He is the star, so it is OK for him to do it!
His talking penis still remains the most bizarre scene in his career. Thankfully there is nothing shown, just the voice is heard. He hadn't read the script to the end and it was a total surprise for him when he heard about it. It is certainly a major surprise when you see it for the first time and gets big laughs in the theater.
The film is no ACO, but it is still a damn good film. If you are looking for a fun date movie this is it - nothing heavy, just a good time. The fact that is still funny after 20 years tells you something right there. Though it is based in the 80s the humor is in no way lost back there. It is out of print and there is no offical DVD release.
Rating: 8.5/10

Just FTR, I'm doing the converstion of mod_include docs into XML. It's taking a while, and I don't want to be doing the same work that someone else is doing. Is it reasonable to assume that the conversion will still be usable even after the DTD and XSL work has been done? Forgive me, this is the first time that I have ever done anything with XML, and I am mostly playing parrot with other docs that have already been converted, although it is making more and more sense to me as I go along. -- Nothing is perfekt. Certainly not me. Success to failure. Just a matter of degrees. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

The Environment Institute seeks to understand how we can protect and enhance biodiversity despite pressure from human activity and changing climate.
Our research investigates whole ecosystems and assessing human pressures on them by drawing on expertise in data processing and modelling, ecological and evolutionary processes and knowledge of conversation science.
The Environment Institute's research strengths and themes in biodiversity include:
- Discovering and understanding animals plants and organisms - both the individual species and the whole ecosystem.
- Evolutionary history and relationships over deep time and exploring genetic information through biogeography and barcoding.
- Biosecurity, managing pests and disease risks to Australia, food and the marine environment as well as native species and land environments.
- Data processing, analysis and modelling - how bioinformatics supports an understanding of species and ecosystems and change over time.
- Understanding climate change and biodiversity together as a system, with insights into carbon farming, food production and energy.
- Biodiversity and conservation science - using evidence and creating effective positive change through disciplines such as environmental forensics.
The Australian Centre for Evolutionary Biology & Biodiversity is one way in which cross-disciplinary collaborations in biodiversity projects are being realised. Climate change is a major and immediate threat to biodiversity and the expertise within the Global Ecology Lab is also a factor contributing to the strength of biodiversity research in the Environment Institute.
Listen to Global Ecology Lab Professor Corey Bradshaw, talk about the impacts of climate change and ecological prediction:
