An out-of-town funeral director called Thursday asking how to submit an obituary to The Dispatch. I gave him our email address and told him the deadline of 5 p.m. Sometimes funeral directors also inquire about the cost to place an obituary.
An out-of-town funeral director called Thursday asking how to submit an obituary to The Dispatch. I gave him our email address and told him the deadline of 5 p.m. Sometimes funeral directors also inquire about the cost to place an obituary.
Readers and others often call or email asking how to submit information to the newspaper. Those we deal with on a regular basis know the drill, of course. So county funeral directors know what information to submit and when it's due.
The Dispatch receives all kinds of submissions each day. Besides obituaries, these include calendar items, news submissions, sports scores, letters to the editor and news tips. These make up a significant portion of each day's newspaper/online offerings.
From time to time, I like to pass on tips about submitting items. A big one is to give us advance notice when something will take place. A reader called Thursday morning with a tip about an event that would start in an hour. Unfortunately, no one was available to attend. Sometimes a person will be at an event and suddenly realize it would make a good story. But often it's too late for me to send a reporter or photographer.
When that happens, I tell the caller to take a photo and send in the information, and we'll be glad to publish it in our community news section. The preponderance of smartphones with quality cameras these days makes it easier than ever for folks to submit photos.
We have several email addresses we use to route items to the proper editor. If one comes to an individual person or the wrong address, we simply forward it to the appropriate person. Here are the main ones: firstname.lastname@example.com for press releases and news tips; firstname.lastname@example.com for the daily calendar listings; email@example.com for community news items like education notes, military announcements, honor rolls, submitted photos, etc.; firstname.lastname@example.com for letters to the editor; firstname.lastname@example.com for religious notes and items to appear in our Lifestyles section; firstname.lastname@example.com for sports news; and firstname.lastname@example.com for obituaries.
Email provides the quickest, easiest way to submit items. Items that come by mail have to be scanned or typed, where content in an email can be copied and pasted into our word-processing program. We aim to publish items as quickly as we can, but that depends on how much space we receive based on the number of ads in the newspaper.
Two weeks ago I wrote about all of the changes taking place, and I'm glad to report we survived them all. Response to the redesign of the print edition has been very positive. The main concern I heard from a few folks was the type of the stories was too light. So we changed to a different font that's darker a week ago.
We continue to tweak some elements of the design; for example, we will soon add pictures of the columnists who write our community columns. Feedback continues to be welcome, and I hope we have all the changes nailed down within a couple of weeks.
The new dcpreps.com look also went live, and The Dispatch Daily View television book that appears on Fridays also has garnered some positive comments. One reader noted the answers to the crossword puzzle were wrong, so we're checking with our vendor on that.
Finally, Wil Petty just completed his second week of work here at The Dispatch. Wil joined us from the Jefferson Post in West Jefferson. He's a 2013 graduate of the University of Georgia; he and I have already engaged in some good-natured trash talking about the Bulldogs' game against Tennessee, one of my favorite teams, on Sept. 27.
Wil will cover Davidson County and Thomasville government along with some other areas. You can follow him on Twitter @WilPetty. He's a big barbecue fan, so he definitely moved to the right place.
Chad Killebrew is executive editor of The Dispatch. He can be reached at 249-3981, ext. 215, or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Child Care Aware® of America is partnering with Parents magazine to urge Congress to focus on the child care crisis. Click here to see the article in the December issue of Parents. The federal law that allocates funds to states for child care is the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG). It has very few rules to ensure that children are safe in child care and that the settings that children are in promote their healthy development. The law has not been updated since 1996.
Did you know?
- Child care laws vary by state. Most states fail to earn a passing grade on even the most basic of health and safety protections for children according to state licensing reports by Child Care Aware® of America.
- CCDBG does not require background checks for child care providers.
- CCDBG does not require minimum training for child care providers.
- CCDBG does not require inspections of child care programs.
Our nation-wide parent polling over the last several years shows that the top two concerns that parents have about child care are: quality and affordability.
It's time to let Congress know that child care is important to working parents. You can help make a difference by urging your Members of Congress to reauthorize and strengthen the law. This should be a bipartisan issue: As Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) told the Senate Subcommittee on Children and Families earlier this year, "It is absolutely crucial that we make a national commitment that safe and quality child care is available everywhere."
Taking action couldn't be easier! Visit our action center to send an email to your Members of Congress today. Child care should be safe. It should be affordable. It should promote the healthy development of children so that one day they start school ready to learn!

Fashion Week wrap: It's all about coats
"I really feel it's all about the coats," said Joe Zee, creative director of Elle magazine, about the outer garments' starring role on runways all over town during New York Fashion Week.
And not just any coats, said Zee. "Out of the ashes of the recession, we're creeping more towards a brazen return to luxury. There's a new strength and vitality and a real military influence, which I like," said Zee. But, he added, even with a slew of other trends, "If it comes down to one thing, coats are the statement makers of the season."
So what did we see? Standouts included a blown out multicolor animal print at Tracy Reese, lush alpaca at Marc Jacobs, classics peacoats at Michael Kors, a strong, officer coat at Prabal Gurung, curly shearlings at Donna Karan, stylized drop-waisted numbers at Alexander Wang, and striking leather trenchcoats at Calvin Klein.
Stay warm. (You will.)

WBU math professor earns doctorate
PLAINVIEW – Scott Franklin is a new man with a renewed spring in his step and newly romanticized view of the world around him.
"The sky is bluer, the grass is greener and life is a little sweeter," he said.
An assistant professor of mathematics at Wayland Baptist University, Franklin was just short of shouting from the rooftops after defense of his doctoral dissertation Tuesday afternoon in Lubbock, completing requirements to receive a Ph.D. in mathematics.
A quick glance at Franklin's 134-page dissertation entitled "A Computational Three-Field Methodology for Non-Conforming Finite Elements Over Partitioned Domains" and one can understand why he was feeling the stress of completing his research over the last few weeks prior to his defense.
In a very basic nutshell, Franklin's research looks at how particles diffuse themselves around objects. Franklin said these problems, called partial differential equations, are complicated and "most of them don't have a nice, easy solution."
"They model things like ground water flow, heat conduction or mechanical or structural dynamics on an airplane wing or aircraft," Franklin said. "The problems are so large that you have to simplify them."
Franklin explained that simplifying the problems generally means breaking them into smaller pieces. Once the smaller pieces are solved, they must be combined to find the solution to the large equation. Combining the smaller solutions is what Franklin's research deals with.
"You try to solve the problem on each sub-piece. Since what happens on the [an airplane] wing affects what happens on the fuselage, you have to stitch the two solutions together somehow," Franklin said. "My research was on one particular way of stitching the pieces together."
Although Franklin has finished his dissertation, which was accepted by his committee without requiring any revisions or changes, his work on the project is far from over. Franklin has spoken at two seminars about his research already and is scheduled to speak at three more throughout the summer, including a trip to London where he will speak at an engineering and sciences seminar at the University of Greenwich. He has also co-authored an article that has been accepted for publication by Stochastic Analysis and Applications, a math and statistics journal.
Franklin will participate in Texas Tech's graduation ceremonies on May 14. He received a master's degree in mathematics from Tech in 2000 and holds a bachelor of science degree in mathematics and bachelor of arts degree in religion from Wayland. Franklin joined the WBU faculty in 2000. Seventy-five percent of Wayland's faculty members hold the highest attainable degree in their field.

METRO VANCOUVER — A Fraser Valley man suspected of shooting at U.S. Border Patrol agents was arrested in Abbotsford early Wednesday while his B.C. associate is already facing ecstasy smuggling charges after being picked up south of the border Tuesday.
Nathan John Hall was taken into custody at 4:30 a.m. Wednesday at an Abbotsford residence, according to U.S. Court documents that allege he and Jeffrey Laviolette smuggled 58.5 pounds of ecstasy into the U.S. Tuesday morning.
Abbotsford police held a news conference Wednesday to say they had arrested the shooting suspect, but did not release his name or indicate what charges he might face.
However, the U.S. documents say "the suspect that fired at agents was later located at an apartment in Canada and identified as Nathan Hall, a Canadian citizen."
Hall has a lengthy record in Canada, according to the court database.
He was arrested at the apartment of a woman named Mandy Burton, who is Laviolette's girlfriend according to the criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court Wednesday.
The complaint says Hall and Laviolette were spotted in camouflage "wearing backpacks, walking southbound from the direction of Canada through a forest area known to be used by individuals smuggling contraband between the United States and Canada."
Border agents asked both men to stop.
"In response, one of the suspects dropped his backpack and fired a weapon at the agents," the documents say.
Hall made it back to Canada, while Laviolette was arrested in Washington and was carrying a walkie-talkie.
Laviolette "admitted to crossing the border from Canada to smuggle ecstasy into the United States."
Both B.C. men were allegedly to be picked up by Kali Marie Henifin, who is charged along with her boyfriend Ryan Lambert.
Henifin told police that she and Lambert were "supposed to pick up Hall and Laviolette earlier that day."
But they had been listening to a police scanner and learned of the shooting so "left the area."
She admitted to picking up the same B.C. men in mid-March and knowing they were likely involved in drug smuggling.
Lambert said he was promised $11,000 to drive the ecstasy from the U.S. border to San Francisco.
The arrests followed a dramatic cross-border manhunt for the shooter that involved police, dogs and helicopters on both sides of the border.
Abbotsford police Const. Ian MacDonald said in a news release that "the suspect involved in the April 2nd shooting incident with U.S. Border Patrol agents was arrested by members of the Abbotsford Police Department's Emergency Response Team and Patrol Division.
"He is an individual who is known to police and has been a resident of the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland in recent years."
The U.S. is expected to request Hall's extradition.
Law enforcement leaders in B.C. and Washington were praised for their cooperation in the case.
"I would like to thank our law enforcement partners both locally and in Canada who assisted during the search," U.S. Border Patrol Blaine Section Chief John Bates said in a release. "This incident is a perfect example of the bi-national law enforcement partnerships, dedication and support required on a daily basis in securing our nation's borders and local communities."

This is the Valle Caldera in New Mexico, USA. Located on a scenic byway between Albuquerque and Santa Fe near Los Alamos, the 12 mile wide caldera was born from violent volcanic eruptions 1.5 million years ago. Once a private ranch, it now is a national preserve open to the general public. Looking north, you can see a herd of Elk in the distance. Well worth a visit if you're in New Mexico.
New Mexico is a state located in the southwestern region of the United States. Inhabited by Native American populations for many centuries, it has also been part of the Imperial Spanish viceroyalty of New Spain, part of Mexico, and a U.S. territory. Among U.S. states, New Mexico has the highest percentage of Hispanics at 45% (2008 estimate), being descendants of Spanish colonists and recent immigrants from Latin America. It also has the third-highest percentage of Native Americans after Alaska and Oklahoma, and the fifth-highest total number of Native Americans after California, Oklahoma, Arizona, and Texas. The tribes represented in the state consist of mostly Navajo and Pueblo peoples. As a result, the demographics and culture of the state are unique for their strong Spanish, Mexican, and Native American cultural influences. At a population density of 16 per square mile, New Mexico is the sixth most sparsely inhabited U.S. state.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_mexico]

Please note, this month's publication, December 2015 (relating to September 2015 data) will be the last month that the Health Visitor Minimum Data Set (HVMDS) information will be published by the HSCIC.
Users need to be aware of intended changes to the presentation of these statistics. For further information, please read the "revisions and issues section" of this month's bulletin.
Provisional monthly figures for headcount, full-time equivalent, role count and turnover of NHS Hospital and Community Health Service (HCHS) staff groups working in England (excluding primary care staff).
As expected with provisional statistics, some figures may be revised from month to month as issues are uncovered and resolved. No refreshes of the provisional data will take place either as part of the regular publication process, or where minor enhancements to the methodology have an insignificant impact on the figures at a national level.
However, the provisional status allows for this to occur if it is determined that a refresh of data is required subsequent to initial release. Where a refresh of data occurs, it will be clearly documented in the publications.
The monthly publication is an accurate summary of the validated data extracted from the NHS's HR and Payroll system. It has a provisional status as the data may change slightly over time where trusts make updates to their live operational systems.
Given the size of the NHS workforce and the changing composition, particularly during this period of transition, it is likely that we will see some additional fluctuations in the workforce numbers over the next few months, reflecting both national and local changes as a result of the NHS reforms.
These statistics relate to the contracted positions within English NHS organisations and may include those where the person assigned to the position is temporarily absent, for example on maternity leave.
We welcome feedback on the methodology and tables within this publication. Please email us with your comments and suggestions, clearly stating 'Monthly HCHS Workforce' as the subject heading, via firstname.lastname@example.com or 0300 303 5678.

The idea is going around, pushed by the New Economics Foundation, Half Sigma, and others, that bankers are worth less than janitors to economic growth.
While janitors have a wealth creation – to -pay ratio of 10:1, speculators are net drains on the world economy
Rather than being wealth creators bankers are being handsomely rewarded for bringing the global financial system to the brink of collapse
Paid between £500,000 and £80m a year, leading bankers destroy £7 of value for every pound they generate.
There is no question that our economic crisis is a direct result of the Oligarchs (a) betting money they did not have, and (b) illegally colluding with the Treasury Department to bail them out for those bad bets.
If the US Government had been serious about protecting a 'free market' system of the national security crisis they created, it would have destroyed the wealth of the Oligarchs companies, and drafted the needed bankers until such time as the wealth they had destroyed had been restored. However, the US Government is not concerned with reestablishing a free market system. The Treasury Department has been captured by the Oligarchs.

How to Blow the Whistle
Follow these five steps if you take on wrongdoers.
Decide carefully. Weigh whether the wrongdoing is substantial enough to warrant the risks of reprisal and whether you have sufficient proof. With a lawyer, figure out which one (or more) of the myriad whistleblower laws applies in your case, and carefully choose where, or to whom, you disclose what you know. Make sure you have the financial and emotional stamina, and your family's support, for a long fight.
But decide quickly. Each law has its own deadline. Bounty programs favor the whistleblower who files a claim first. The False Claims Act, which allows citizens to fight fraud against the government, generally gives you six years to file a suit from the time the false claim was made. In retaliation cases, environmental and safety laws require a filing within 30 days of the adverse action; corporate whistleblower law Sarbanes-Oxley gives you 180 days. State laws have their own deadlines.
Aim well when you throw the book at 'em. Bundle as many allegations under as many laws as you can, says Stephen Kohn, author of The Whistleblower's Handbook. Check state laws, too. Did you find asbestos at work and get fired for reporting it? File an unsafe work environment claim with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and you might get reinstated with back pay. Is the asbestos endangering the public? Under the Toxic Substances Control Act, you may have the right to reinstatement, back pay, compensatory damages and lawyers' fees. Do you work for a public company that didn't disclose the asbestos as a shareholder liability? File a complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a potential reward and double back pay, or file suit under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which gives you the right to a jury trial. Has the company applied for a government contract and signed a disclosure that it was asbestos-free? That gets you to the False Claims Act—double back pay, lawyers' fees, plus a reward that can reach millions of dollars.
Gather ye evidence while ye may. Documentation is crucial, but gathering it is problematic. You'll need tangible evidence—copies of e-mails, spreadsheets and other documents—before you blow the whistle and information disappears. But don't break the law (by breaking into a supervisor's office, for example).
Read up on the process. Check out The Whistleblower's Handbook, by Stephen Kohn (Amazon, $12), and The Corporate Whistleblower's Survival Guide, by Tom Devine and Tarek Maassarani (Amazon, $8).

More pricey condos in Hoo-ville
Tis the season for another mammoth condo in student-ville. Three days before Christmas, "The Barringer at Monroe Lane" held a topping-off ceremony to celebrate the final piece of structural steel on its seventh story.
Designed by Daggett & Grigg Architects, and developed by Jim and Cynthia Stultz, the 50-unit Barringer is located adjacent to UVA's hospital. Units range in price from $250,000 to $750,000 on five floors atop two levels of structured parking, bringing the total square footage of the building to 79,230.
Charlottesville is in the midst of a student-area condo flurry with one gated student community, the Woodlands, actually opening a sales office on the Downtown Mall.
Martin Horn, the locally based construction company building the Barringer, expects to finish work in August. Until then, eager web-surfers can check out the 24-hour webcam to keep tabs on the progress.

Hatton Gardens is a five-block neighborhood in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars located in eastern Algonquin, Liberty City.
The neighborhood is located along the Humboldt River to the east, bordering Middle Park East to the north by Nickel Street, Lancet to the south by Lorimar Street, and Star Junction to the west by Columbus Avenue. It has the same name of a street in London.
As is with neighbourhoods to the east, Hatton Gardens contains several high-rise apartments and commercial buildings. The area does not strictly draw inspiration from one district, but features several landmarks based on real-life counterparts roughly located in the same part of Midtown Manhattan (predominantly in the Turtle Bay area). The district is described as a "fashionable" shopping district,[1] although the player has little available interaction in the area.
Hattons Garden is primarily served by one station, Manganese East on the A/J Algonquin Outer Line, with entrances off Manganese Street and Albany Avenue outside the Civilization Committee complex. Along the neighborhood's western border lies East Park, the nearest station to Hatton Gardens that provides access to the K/C Algonquin Inner Line.
Places of Interest
- Africa Tower
- Civilization Committee
- Cleethorpes Tower
- Columbus Cathedral
- Panoramic Towers
- Prosperous Towers
Landmarks in real-life
- The Civilization Committee complex is evidently based on the United Nations Headquarters in Tudor City.
- Prosperous Towers, apartments across Albany Avenue from the CC complex (technically located in neighboring Lancet), are based on co-op residential towers at Tudor City Place and referencing the proximity of the aforementioned Tudor City apartments with the UN Headquarters in New York City.
- Columbus Cathedral, occupying a block at Lorimar Street, based on St. Patrick's Cathedral, which is a Roman Catholic church. Like its real-life inspiration, a building complex emulating a simplified Rockefeller Center is located to the west across Columbus Avenue from the church grounds. The church, however, is aligned facing south, away from the complex.
- The Cleethorpes Tower at Manganese Street and Columbus Avenue is based on the Trump Tower. The tower is claimed to be built by Lyle Cleethorpes the 5th as a show of wealth.[1]
- 867 Madison Ave (Polo/Ralph Lauren). The Madison Avenue facade is reused for both of the game's rendition's frontal, while the facade of the third floor is duplicated twice, adding two additional floors to the game's rendition.
- The Africa Tower, right in front of Civilization Committee, is based heavily on 336 East 45th Street (the Uganda House). The only major difference is the alignment of the building; the Africa Tower faces east, while the Uganda House faces north.

A1+: 6 years off air...
"(for years) They tried to ban A1+ TV, they sort of succeeded, but they was not able to ban A1+, for me - the symbol of free speech in Armenia. A1+ continued its live online. And today they announced the launch of A1+ blog - another step from A1+ journalists to promote free speech in Armenia. [I would also add A1+ YouTube channel - established on 17 January 2008, it became one of the most viewed channels in the whole YouTube!] If one day I switch on TV and see A1+ station live, I will understand that I probably live in different Armenia, in better Armenia, in Armenia which can be transformed to a country where I would prefer live in..."
Today, it's 6 years since A1+ is off air... but still on...
35 comments:
I am not so sure that A1+ is part of the solution. Arguing that the authorities censor news and that only the party line is heard are statements that should be easy to rally behind.
A1+ seems to me to be part of the problem: sponsored-media that edits and censors where only a(nother) party line is heard.
How does this help? Not to mention the quality and level of their journalism seems to be getting worse with time, not better.
- 2 April 2008 at 13:10
Well, I guess these are valid points. A1 Plus does for the opposition what H1 does for the government.
On the other hand, as the truth generally lies somewhere in the middle, I believe that until there is a proper media environment on both sides, plurality is the only option we have.
However, that does not mean that media outlets may purposely libel opponents or spread disinformation. Indeed, there are laws which must be used, but I wonder in a situation where two stations -- say, A1 Plus, and H1 -- were competing with each other (for adertising, viewers etc) maybe the quality of both would improve simply because it has to.
Although I am critical of the general media situation here, especially for this election, I'm told that two publications stood out for their coverage.
Aravot which apparently had better coverage than most despite being pro-opposition in the print media, and Yerkir Media TV (despite being ARF-D) in the broadcast media.
Dunno. I have to say that A1 Plus was part of Ter-Petrossian's campaign for this election, but then again, so too was H1. What's the solution? One would hope competition and the public demanding better coverage, but to be honest, I really don't know.

Onnik, it was with great interest I read your posts/interview back in 2002 & 2006 re A1+ case. Thanks for the links you provided in your reflection to my current post.
Here is how Onnik reported on A1+ case when it once again denied a broadcasting frequency in a tender in 2006. He has also some photos from A1+ protest rally there.
"In the continuing saga that perhaps best represents the way the authorities have destroyed freedom of speech in the broadcast media, A1 Plus has once again been denied a broadcasting frequency. The TV station, considered to be the most independent and popular for its news, was taken off the air in a controversial tender for new frequencies in April 2002. […]
Of course, even if the European Court ruled in favor of A1 Plus, nobody expects that the station would return to the air in time for the 2007 parliamentary elections, or even presidential elections scheduled for 2008. Instead, Public TV as well as Gerard Cafesjian and Bagrat Sarkisyan's Armenia TV will continue to fulfil the role expected of them in covering up any electoral falsification, and the same will be true for every other TV or radio station allowed to broadcast.
The decision to deprive A1 Plus of the right to broadcast was and still is political as its Director said in an interview I conducted with him the day after the station was taken off the air in April 2002.
The decision to close A1 Plus was taken in November during a private meeting between the Armenian President, Robert Kocharian, the Defense Minister, Serzh Sarkisyan, and the National Security Council. Although we have no evidence, only oral testimony, we believe that the idea to close the station came from that meeting.
Officially, they argued that our package was bad, and insufficient funding may have been another reason, but it is only a cover for the real reason which is political.
The full interview is available online here.

Dunno. I have to say that A1 Plus was part of Ter-Petrossian's campaign for this election, but then again, so too was H1.
Obviously I meant "so too was H1" in terms of being part of Serge's campaign.
Anyway, re. A1 Plus, just to clarify that the photos you linked to are not from 2006, but 2002.
In recent years, the demos have been largely small civil society affairs of about 100 people.
Interestingly, when I tried to push the A1 Plus story in 2002 nobody was interested.
IWPR even said that because the Georgian opposition protesting for Rustavi-2 outnumbered the protesters for A1 Plus it wasn't important an issue.
The Caucasus Media Institute were even worse and justified the tenders. Of course, it's interesting to note that Rustavi-2 went from radical opposition to government after the Rose Revolution.
I daresay A1 Plus would do the same although I don't quite know the story pre-1998 when I arrived in Armenia.
What was the deal with the name change from A1 to A1 Plus and while I know they apparently covered the Dashnak ban properly in the 1990s, what was its reporting like in general?

Back then, it was my favourite TV station. They always presented both government and opposition views, pretty balanced coverage, I would call them independent. They also had analytical/political programmes, with guests from various social and political backgrounds. Re name change, as far as I remember it was meant to show that news + other programmes, but I am not 100% sure.
I am confident that if A1+ come back to air, it would once again become one of the most popular TV channels (if not the most, like it was before) and would contribute to the changes for better of Armenian electronic media, and especially Public TV. I remember back then, due to A1+ reporting, our state TV also changed for better and was forced to reflect things which was reported by A1+. On the other hand, A1+ itself will change for better, and become more balanced and independent, kind of Aravot version of TV channel.

Dunno. I have to say that A1 Plus was part of Ter-Petrossian's campaign for this election, but then again, so too was H1.
you are absolutely right h1 was part of LTPs campaign!!!! that helped alot to consolidate people around LTP! and hate even more the serz and co!
- 2 April 2008 at 15:48
for your info onik a1 was opposition (if you wish) always , including levon presidency! and was attempted to shut down at that time (if iam not wrong it was for short time).......
and for sure it will be as critical to levon when he will be the president again!
and a1+ is not your H1 and it si the voice of truth!

Off topic here:
When the opposition comes to power my plan is to influence them to get rid of the public TV. There should not be government owned and funded TV stations in Armenia.
The government should be prohibited from producing news reports. If any government agencies want to televise educational programs, they can sponsor these programs.
- 2 April 2008 at 16:19
- Ankakh_Hayastan said...
Speaking of A1+ getting closed 6 years ago. When there were sporadic protests at the time, I talked to a friend of mine who was taking part in these protests. My advise was that the closure was one of the first steps towards an authoritarian state (I'm not a prophet). My suggestion was to be much more forceful in these protests than just holding a sign in front of a building.
Alas, people were more romantic at the time and did not know where Kocharian was heading.

- artmika said...
So true, Nazarian...
- 2 April 2008 at 17:09
I find it so strange that people find these actions as "steps to an authoritarian state." What was it before? Where was this democratic situation that is being conjured up/remembered?
When ARF offices were plundered, computers thrown out the windows? When SHAM-iram political party was created overnight (comprised of the mistresses of the HHSh) to have a second party in parliament? When oligarchic structures were rolled out to control imports, prevent investment in the country, create myths about Diasporan armies ready to take over, sell off Armentel as a monopoly to set back Armenia's competitiveness generations?
Excuse me, but when were the good old days?
Again (if it is not clear for the 100th time) I am not defending the actions of the authorities...this needs to be stated explicitly every time, because many hear cannot comprehend that it is possible to be against the phenomena without being for the persona.

please go to azatutyun.am and read the piece about the videon the reflection of prosecutor office
- 2 April 2008 at 17:41
and a1+ is not your H1 and it si the voice of truth!
Well, unfortunately, it was not the voice of truth although it did provide exposure to the other side of the story.
Since 2002 it has also suffered in so much that its best journalists and staff from before have since left and now work elsewhere.
Still, I don't doubt that if it were to return many of its old staff might too.
- 2 April 2008 at 18:25
My advise was that the closure was one of the first steps towards an authoritarian state
Actually, I think that started in 1994-5 and was really the direction Armenia was heading in 1996.
For sure, when I arrived in 1998 I couldn't say that the tendency wasn't there and that things started to go downhill from either a) 27 October 1999 or b) 2 April 2002.
I also think that it's important to note that these tendencies are not specific to Armenia and actually reflect a general regional as well as world wide decline.
I would certainly argue that the government is not as strong as it was in say, 1999 for the parliamentary election or 2003 for the presidential.
The fact that there is an opposition at all -- and one that was noticeably stronger than that in 2003 albeit mainly because of leadership -- is evidence of that.
- 2 April 2008 at 18:31
Wasn't it A1+ that released the tampered video footage online and spread like wild-fire on all the blogs of the apparent shooting of citizens? If you watch the full length video, I believe it was on this site several days ago, you clearly see that two separate scenes were cut and pasted to make it look different. I don't consider that very truthful reporting by any means. It is one thing to stick with facts and put forth the truth, but A1+ over the past few months has been part of the agitation in getting people excited.
- 2 April 2008 at 19:12
Well, independent enquiry is exactly what the opposition is
It's clear that the gov-t will never accept this demand.
Whatever the findings are they will not be identical to the official version, and this will mean admitting that the authorities lied to the public.
What might happen is the inclusion of a couple of western specialists into the investigation, who will be taken to Proshyan vodka.
In the end, somewhere between the 7th kebab and the 14th vodka shot,they will sign a paper saying they agree with the findings of the Armenian police.
This paper later will be used
by Osganian to decline any further demands for investigation.
I am glad that Onnik is able to accept that this is a valid demand, even though it is supported by Levon.
Of course, Onnik never apologized to me for calling me retarded and a coward, but that's OK, after all, I support freedom of speech, even if that involves someone insulting me and then never apologizing.
- 2 April 2008 at 20:48
"When the opposition comes to power..."
I wish I had your optimism.
- 2 April 2008 at 20:50
I don't think closing down Public TV is going to help anyone. It might actually make the situation worse. I can't think of the UK without the BBC, for example.
What does need to happen, however, is that it serves the public interest rather than the government. Ironically, I suspect that attempts to close down Public TV might actually incur the wrath of the Council of Europe.
The concerns as they stand now, however, are that H1 is still not independent enough.
- 2 April 2008 at 20:59
- artmika said...
Yervand, Hambik and 'retardedanonymous', I would request to move debate about particular video footages or other not related but important topics towards more relevant posts.
Hambik, as to that video footage of shooting at protesters, relevant comments and my opinion are expressed here
I will only add, since you mentioned, that its distribution had nothing to do with the A1+. In fact, at that time A1+, like other independent and pro-opposition media in Armenia, was censored and blocked under the decree of 'state of emergency'.
- 2 April 2008 at 21:09
why bother myself you anyway post only my every other comment.....
but ingeneral agreed :-))
- 2 April 2008 at 21:41
Retarded Anonymous, you attempted to start a campaign against me with infantile statements and you did so from the cover anonymity.
Artmika, I am requesting again that you prevent people from making things personal which Retarded Anonymous clearly is. In fact, he is attempting to take digs and continue his battle against me.
Incidentally, I can guess who he is which makes the situation worse because I was also hounded by him through intimidating and insulting emails until I stuck him on my spam filter.
He is now therefore trying to do the same on your blog and if you allow this it will disrupt any chance of meaningful discussion.
- 2 April 2008 at 21:58
Thank you for bringing that to my attention Artmika, I guess I was had received that information from an incorrect source, and also I apologize for posting an unrelated comment, I am still fairly new to your blog.
I would also like to say about A1+, that while I do not agree with the style of reporting, having grown up in the U.S., I find it unacceptable that a news source would be taken off air for its views. I agree with Onnik in that while the quality of A1+ is not really high at the moment, it is very possible that competition with H1 will drive both to improve.
- 2 April 2008 at 22:18
- artmika said...
Onnik and 'retardedanonymous', I already made my opinion clear on that particular matter and you both had chance to express your opinions. If you have any further matters to discuss with each other, please do it via your personal blogs. No further comments on this specific issue will be accepted.
- 2 April 2008 at 22:29
Excellent OP (original post), artmika. It brought back so many memories...A1+ the TV station was a phenomenon; it still stands as the only legitimate attempt at independent television in Armenia. I do remember that if you wanted to know what was going on, you'd turn on A1+; and like someone mentioned, the now much maligned Lraber/turned Haylur had to change to keep up.Its quality of journalists was unmatched. And they actually presented debate, BOTH sides of a debate (what a concept!), something that is absolutely missing today(and I'm not excluding the opposition media here). I know I'm not the only one who would greatly appreciate seeing some of today's "warring" factions in those forums.
Actually, that it has become so radical, that its website/blog is so one-sided is one of the most shocking and tragic developments to come out of the Kocharian/Sargsyan repressive machine. It is also sad how few people seem to be aware of its legacy and are only judging it by the website (which I seriously doubt has retained much of the "old guard") and by the largely unedited videos on its youtube channel.
- 3 April 2008 at 00:28
Yes, I really appreciated A1 Plus when it was on the air. It was an Armenia I recognized rather than the countless official meeting broadcast elsewhere or these days, the glitzy charade of Armenia TV.
As for the old guard, yes, most have since left from what I understand. Viktoria Abrahamian is still there, but others moved on after salaries were not paid and so on. Well, I'd hope it could regain some of its former glory and more objective reporting if it made it back onto the air.

- Ankakh_Hayastan said...
retardedanonymous, I am optimistic about change because it cannot go on forever like this. There are two ways out of this - Serj continues to rule and Armenia disappears as an independent entity, or life is allowed to continue and justice is restored.
Historically, dictatorships do not last very long. They are either overturned or the country disappears. I don't want Armenia to disappear so the only choice I am willing to think about is overturning the dictatorship.
- 3 April 2008 at 17:01
Nazarian, you and others dissatisfied have 4 years to find a groups to rally around. LTP was a non-starter for any kind of democracy movement. Parliamentary elections are not that far away, and this kind of effort requires just that: effort.
I for one would welcome evolution of the opposition and a push for a more democratic Armenia. Anyway, I think Serj is a step forward from Kocharian.
- 3 April 2008 at 18:12
to retarded reflective:
what do you mean serz is a step forward from khocharyan!????
more bloody you mean??!!!!!

In referring to others, I would ask not using "retarded" and similar wording, unless it's a part of someone's nickname.
- 3 April 2008 at 18:39
Yervand, I know that the opposition yellow-journalistic media rags have transformed the authorities into a single machine, but I think it is not so accurate.
It does however, make it easy to scapegoat, blame others for our problems, and successfully insulate us from reality, which then allows us to forgo analysis and instead just hate hate hate.
- 3 April 2008 at 19:35
- Ani said...
As to Nazarian's comment (go where, Armenia?), this article on PanArmenian.net today gives pause as to just what Sargsyan promised when he was in Moscow:
"RF Duma Vice Speaker: Russia, Armenia should form union state"
"Russia and Armenia should form a union state, said Vice Speaker of the Russian State Duma. If formation of a union with Belarus has slowed down, Russia should take up another direction. We should unite with Armenia, for example, or with any other friendly state," said Lyubov Sliska, Duma Vice Speaker and member of United Russia faction, Regions.ru reports."
- 3 April 2008 at 19:46
- artmika said...
Ani, although it's off-topic but very important - the only fact that the idea of a "union state" with Russia has been voiced on such a high level is very worrying, indeed. I felt disgusted when read about it this morning. First - economy, then - everything else... I really worry that if current direction continues Armenia's existence as independent state will be at stake (if not already)...
- 3 April 2008 at 21:15
artmika, with Russia controlling all of the strategic sectors of our economy (railways, construction, telecommunications, the Iran-Armenia pipeline, a great number of our natural resources factories and the list sadly goes on), we are effectively nothing more than a Russian province, and a backwards one at that. We are NOT an independent country; all our policy decisions are based on what Russia says we should do. I shudder to think what would happen if Armenia dared to contradict Russia...
For everyone making baseless accusations about LTP selling off national assets to foreigners when he was president or planning to do so if he comes back, this is what selling off looks like.
sorry to get off topic...

Because of its importance, I made a separate post so that all subsequent comments on that subject matter can be directed there:

via Aravot daily:
The «Meltex» LLC - «A1+» suit is in the European Court of the Human Rights since 2002. Lately, when the European Court's decree was about to be declared the government of Armenia turned to the European Court and asked to stop the process for 6 months taking into consideration the fact of the fire in the archive of the Ministry of Justice. «Meltex» LLC attorney Tigran Ter-Yesayan informed «A1+» about this.

Tagged: Victor Cruz
Déjà Blue
Editor's note: I know this blog is basically reserved for baseball highlights, personal Yankee-related stories, and analysis of the Yankees, but given the circumstances surrounding yesterday night's game, I made an exception to write about my favorite football team, the New York Giants.
I spent Yesterday night in the same place I spent Game One of the 2011-12 NFL season on Sept. 11 – at my best friend's house watching the New York Giants.
The Giants played the Washington Redskins in Week 1, and didn't look very good coming out of the gate. Sometime during the first half of the game, Giants' quarterback Eli Manning was under heavy pressure, he scrambled, and ran the ball into the end zone for a touchdown.
I jumped out of my seat and yelled out in sarcasm,
"Rushing touchdown for Eli Manning! Hey, this might be a good year after all."
After getting laughed at by my friends and hearing from certain people how "The Buffalo Bill" (yes, the Buffalo Bill, not the Buffalo Bills) were the "only New York team" (inside joke, being that the Giants and Jets play their home games in New Jersey) the Giants went on to lose 28-14 to the typically bad Redskins.
Yet, my skepticism didn't start during their first game. I was incredibly skeptical before the season even started. The so-called "Big Blue Wrecking Crew" allowed a number of their players to walk away, losing them to free agency. I thought for sure it would be another season in which the Jets – the other New York team – would overshadow them on the back pages of the newspapers.
The Jets had been to the last two AFC title games and came dangerously close to winning them both times, nearly punching their ticket to the Super Bowl. Not to mention the Jets added former Giant hero Plaxico Burress, who caught the game-winning TD in Super Bowl XLII to beat the 18-0 New England Patriots.
We all remember that happy story, right? I thought so.
Knowing the Giants were playing the Jets on Christmas Eve when the NFL schedule broke, I called and text messaged some of my friends who are Jets fans saying, "Congrats on the win on Christmas Eve. The Giants are going to have a horrible year."
My faith in the team was just nonexistent.
However, it picked up a little bit as the season progressed, and the G-Men got on a little bit of a roll. They sort of came together, going 6-2 after eight weeks. The Giants began playing smash-mouth football, and most importantly they got healthy.
A number of their key players on the defensive end and their secondary were hurt, rendering them vulnerable to teams that weren't necessarily stronger, but dictated games a lot better.
Case in point: their game vs. the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 9.
The Giants were certainly playing like the better team, but a few miscues on defense and a big mistake on offense – a fourth quarter interception by Manning – cost Big Blue the game.
Still, they were able to hang with teams, stay in the playoff race, and they obviously got healthy and red-hot at the right time. And it all started with, believe it or not, their game against the Jets.
Manning began a 29-14 rout of the Green Team with a 99-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Victor Cruz, who seemingly came out of nowhere to become one of the Giants' top offensive weapons – and one of the league's top receivers. The 99-yarder tied an NFL record, and his 89 yards after the catch is the most by a receiver on a 99-yard TD.
Not bad for a player who went undrafted.
Needless to say I was extremely happy the Giants beat the Jets and I learned a valuable lesson from that game: never lose faith in your team. Always have faith and always believe in them, even when it's hard to and it looks as though defeat is imminent.
For a fan who congratulated fans of the other team months before the game even took place, and to have my team win – and win by a lot – was certainly humbling, to say the very least.
From there the G-Men just got on a win streak: a 31-14 victory over the Dallas Cowboys to get into the playoff dance, a 24-2 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Wild Card weekend, a 37-20 spanking of the heavily favored, 15-1 Green Bay Packers, and finally a 20-17 overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers.
And now we're back to where we were in 2008: Giants vs. Patriots in the Super Bowl.
As Yogi Berra would say, "It's déjà vu, all over again!"
There are so many eerie similarities between this season and the 2007-08 campaign in which the Giants defeated the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
Let me count the ways…
2007: The Giants lost their first two games, but eventually caught fire and held a 6-2 record after eight games.
2011: The Giants lost their first game and became a bit streaky, yet held a 6-2 record after eight games.
2007: Up against tough odds, the G-Men played an undefeated 15-0 Patriots team on the last day of the regular season. Big Blue hung step-for-step with the Pats, but wound up losing 38-35.
2011: Again, up against unfavorable odds, the Giants played the defending champion Packers, who were 12-0 heading into their game vs. New York in Week 13. The G-Men kept themselves in it, and looked to be clicking on all cylinders. However, some sloppy defense at the tail end of the game led to a loss, 38-35.
2007: On the road, the Giants won 10 straight games – and if you include the Super Bowl, 11 wins in a row away from the Meadowlands.
2011: The Giants are currently on a four-game win streak on the road – and they will be the away team in the upcoming Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 5.
2007: In the NFC Championship Game on the "Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field," the Giants and Packers played to a 20-20 tie in subzero temperatures. In overtime, a key turnover by Brett Favre (an interception, which was picked off by cornerback Corey Webster) set up a field goal for the Giants. Kicker Lawrence Tynes, from 47 yards out, booted Big Blue into the Super Bowl.
2011: In the NFC Championship Game at a wet and soggy Candlestick Park in San Francisco, the Giants and 49ers played to a 17-17 tie after regulation, forcing the title game into overtime. Niners' punt return specialist Kyle Williams was stripped of the ball by New York linebacker Jacquian Williams. The fumble was recovered by Giants' wide receiver/specialist Devin Thomas, a costly turnover. The play set up a 31-yard field goal – which was made by Tynes to send New York to the Super Bowl.
2007: The Patriots beat the San Diego Chargers in the AFC title game, only to lose to the Giants in the Super Bowl.
2011: The Patriots beat the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC title game, and will once again play the Giants in the Super Bowl.
It's pretty incredible how many parallels can be drawn between this year and the magical championship run the Giants put together a few years ago. I never thought when I was sarcastically saying "this could be a good year after all" and when I was giving the Jets the win over the Giants months before the game that the G-Men would be where they are now.
After the big win over the 49ers, Giants' safety Antrel Rolle said, "No one gave us a shot."
Yes sir. I will admit I was guilty of that, even as a loyal fan.
Yet Rolle even admitted that at times throughout the season, the team didn't even give themselves a shot – so maybe I shouldn't be so hard on myself as far as my wavering faith in the G-Men.
I went into this NFL season as a fan with the lowest of expectations. The Giants just by making the postseason proved me wrong. And now as NFC Champs, going to their fifth Super Bowl in franchise history, have gone above and beyond anything I ever expected out of them this year.
There might not be as much pressure on the Giants, being that New England isn't playing for an undefeated season this time around. The Giants had to win Super Bowl XLII, otherwise they would always be remembered as "that fluke Super Bowl team who the Patriots beat to go 19-0."
Instead they became "that pesky, resilient team who stopped the Patriots from going 19-0, and embarrassed them in front of the world."
As far as the rematch goes, I don't know what to anticipate; I have no idea what to expect. But if history has shown us anything, things look good for the New York Football Giants. It's bound to be another good game; one the world will undoubtedly be watching.
Think of Yankees vs. Red Sox in Game 7 of the ALCS – that's the type of feel this game is bound to possess.
No matter what happens in Super Bowl XLVI, I am proud of the Giants. They turned a season in which I expected nothing into a season that could very well be something special.

This girl is on fire!
Alicia Keys will sing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl on Feb. 3. This will be the Grammy winner's third time appearing at the Super Bowl, the most of any artist in Super Bowl history.
Past National Anthem Super Bowl performers include Kelly Clarkson, Billy Joel, Diana Ross, Whitney Houston, Garth Brooks, Cher, Jewel, Faith Hill, Mariah Carey and more.
U.S. & World
Think Destiny's Child will join Bey at halftime?!
Alicia, of course, isn't the only entertainment we're excited about surrounding this year's game. Beyonce (and maybe Destiny's Child, if we're to believe the Internet chatter) is performing the halftime show.
We are so ready for some football (festivities).

Yes, it's time again for the blogosphere's only progressive dinner blog carnival, Soup To Nuts! I'm happy to be serving the Main Course this time around.
This will be great fun whatever stuff may be running 'round your head! It is a group writing project of sorts where you can check out the lives and times of widely diverse bloggers. Whether it's a pajama mommy or a banquet manager.
OK, let's get into the carnival...
There's a lot in the news, which may or may not be good news, including weight loss, business, and on a related note jobs and career coaching, online education and technology.
There's so much happening online, an internet business guide can be a great help; especially if you're looking for a good deal on your internet service or even if you're looking into health plans.
It's important to not become overwhelmed with online information so take it slow, eh.
OK, get the beat, beatnick. It's critically important that you're passionate about something. It could be music or, another form of entertainment, magic.
Of course there's a lot of passion about food and gardening as well as animals, whether it's a dog or a horse. Some people are passionate about continuing education; which, I think, should be an ongoing process.
True happiness in life can come from living by shamanic principles - you could call it a tao of simplicity. Sometimes it's great to just sit back and enjoy the view. but you want to be careful if there are bullet holes in the mailbox.
In business news, not everyone can be a sales diva. Some people are interested in making money from home; which could come from selling artistic photography. Whatever it is, the bottom line is to make a profit and networking can really help; otherwise you may need therapy. Done right, you can make money selling dog poop...because ideas matter!
Today's the day, gentleman, when to be a savvy daddy you need humor to get through.
It's a challenge at times because the web is making cable tv obsolete; a bad thing about the web, of course, is at times you can't get away from double barreled opinions.
If you have multiple personalities you may want to start at the top and read through this again; you may find something different you like next time!
Be sure you check out all five courses of our dinner. We have some great hosts joining me this time including...
- Lisa, A Traveling Diva, serving hors d'oeuvres and drinks.
- Jacob serving appetizers at Group Writing Projects
- Marion serving the First Course at Herbal Connection
- Kimberly at Blog N' Butter serving Dessert
Thanks to my fellow hosts for the great work you've done with this carnival.

"Here are the primary reasons why I think the Take A Stand! approach works so well. When students read and research with the questions in mind, they pay much closer attention than when reading simply to cover the material. When they have to analyze information, thinking about cause and effect and relative importance, they have moved to a much deeper level of thinking. Discussing their research and ideas with others forces them to think logically and critically."
From Adam and Missy Andrews, Center for Literature:
"Adam and Missy Andrews have long been searching for effective history curriculum materials with little success. They are happy to report that the search is over! In 2012, they discovered The Classical Historian, a Socratic method for teaching history that shares many of the same principles advocated in Teaching the Classics.
Like Teaching the Classics, the Classical Historian is a method for analysis that students can apply to any historical period. With a goal of teaching students to think historically, the Classical Historian shows teachers how to discuss a series of open-ended discussion questions about specific historical events. In answering these questions, students learn a step-by-step process for evaluating evidence, arranging historical data, developing arguments and writing effective essays.
The Classical Historian supplies reading guides, primary sources, textbooks and research and discussion questions for five specific periods: ancient, medieval, early American, modern world, and modern American history. Parents will find age-appropriate materials for students in grades 3 and up, with complete year-long courses for grades 6-12.
If you are searching for a Teaching the Classics style approach to history, look no further."
Award-Winning Curriculum!
How Does This Curriculum Work and How is it Unique?
The Classical Historian teaches students to think independently, make decisions, read, write, and speak effectively, AND learn history. The Classical Historian uses a Five Step Method:
1. Students Learn the Tools of the HIstorian.
2. Students are Challenged with Open-Ended Questions.
3. Students Research in a Variety of Secondary and Primary Sources.
4. Students Engage in a Socratic Discussion.
5. Students Write an Analytical Essay.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Jordan Lynch ran for 119 yards and four touchdowns and threw for another in just over a half to lead No. 21 Northern Illinois to a 63-19 victory over Massachusetts on Saturday.
The Huskies (9-0, 5-0 Mid-American Conference) scored touchdowns on their first five possessions and six of their seven drives in the first half. Cameron Stingily rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown, and Tommylee Lewis also ran one in for Northern Illinois.
Lynch, who leads all active FBS players in rushing yards, also completed 10 of 14 passes for 160 yards and threw for at least one touchdown for the 22nd consecutive game. He played one series in the third quarter before giving way to backup Drew Hare, who connected with Chad Beebe on an 81-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter and followed it with a 47-yard TD run to make it 63-19.
Playing without injured No. 1 quarterback A.J. Doyle, UMass (1-8, 1-4) lost its third consecutive game. Backup Mike Wegzyn, who lost the starting job earlier in the season, completed 10 of 25 passes for 169 yards and Lorenzo Woodley ran 38 times for 163 yards and a touchdown.
Wegzyn also threw two interceptions, the first at the Minuteman 20 on the second play of the second quarter that Huskies defensive lineman Ken Bishop ran to the UMass 6-yard line. Two plays later, Stingily ran it in to make it 28-6.
UMass drove 83 yards to score its only touchdown on a 1-yard run by Woodley, cutting the deficit to 15 points. But on the Huskies' next play, Lynch hit Juwa Brescacin for a 66-yard touchdown.
Minutemen kicker Brendon Levengood made a school record-tying four field goals — all more than 40 yards; his career high coming into the game was a 38-yarder.
UMass stopped Lynch for just the second time on the Huskies' first possession of the second half. The Minutemen blocked a 44-yard field-goal attempt, but after defensive end Brandon Potvin picked up the loose ball he fumbled and the Huskies' Jared Volk recovered for a fresh set of owns.
Lynch accounted for six touchdowns in last week's win over Eastern Michigan — four passing, one rushing and another receiving.
Northern Illinois left tackle Tyler Loos was injured in the third quarter and taken off on a stretcher.

As for spray on snow I had an Auntie who sprayed snow on her windows with those stencil things. I can remember the snow flakes still being there when we visited at Easter. One of those activities that is easier to do than to undo.
I always feel sorry for the Santa's here as well. I remember one bloke one year who was so hot in his Santa Suit he was a wash with perspiration. Being on the large side I was a bit worried he might have a stroke.
How the heck does Santa get around Australia in a sled? And when he visits our place he has to land his reindeer on the back veranda as we don't have a chimney. The reindeer's like it and we always leave a bowl of water and some grass out for them, as well as a cold drink for Santa.
The neighbours leave him beer and nuts but I reckon he shouldn't drink and drive. I would hate for Santa to get pulled over in Surfers Paradise for a rbt (random breath test) by the booze bus.
It wasn't until I was in my teens that I quite understood what Jingle Bells was about and what "dashing through the snow" meant! Holly is also foreign to me. I had to go to England to see what it really looked like. I must say I was a bit disappointed in it! The colours and the glitter on the plastic stuff had exaggerated its appeal. While I think crochet snowflakes are lovely, they are a bit out of place when it is 38 degrees Celsius ( 100F) in the shade!
So this year I decided I would design some Australian themed Christmas ornaments. No snow, no mittens or sleds and not a snowman in sight!
So Aussie icons are the koala, with a Christmas bow:
The kangaroo and wallaby with jingle bells and ribbons:
Some gum nut pixies:
I tried to make these look like they had little gum nut hats on. A bit like the gum nut babies of May Gibbs.
One of the most spectacular group of critters down here is our bird life. Yet the Chrissy decorations seem limited to robins and doves.
I decided it was time for some fairy wrens to go on my tree. These are pretty amazing little birds with a sticky up tail. The male is the most stunning blue, while the female is a bit drab.
The other group of birds that are always in the trees are are the parrots. Sulphur crested cockatoos and Rosella's. Both are incredibly noisy but beautiful to watch.
I really enjoyed making all of these and the patterns have been tested and are now on my etsy store. http://www.crochetroo.etsy.com
I have a few more to do as I want to attach them to some of my Christmas goodies this year.
I do love Christmas and I reckon you can never have too many ornaments or too many lights.
I hope you like my Australian take on the Christmas tradition.

In article <54fhps$pfs at falcon.le.ac.uk>, "Dr E. Buxbaum" <EB15 at le.ac.uk> wrote: <snip, snip> > Other than that, you only amplify my point: there are already enough > dangerous and addictive substances around, so lets be carefull in > introducing new ones. I don't agree with Dr. Buxbaum that marijuana is addictive, at all, but I do feel the issue as to whether or not marijuana should be legalized is an entirely separate issue. THC is a psychoactive substance, can impair driving and judgement, and in the smokable form contains many potent carcinogens. For this reason, I don't feel that hemp should be available to the general public (nor should cigarettes). On the other hand, I think the idea that it should be schedule 1 is indefensible, given the inadequacy of both antiemetics and painkillers which it has a proven superiority to. For example, the strong antihistamines which are prescribed (and only marginally effective) as antiemetics (e.g., tigan, phenergan) are obviously psychoactive; anyone in their right mind would prefer a bus driver on marijuana over one on phenergan, since the latter would be asleep or incoherent. Second, synthetic THCs are as effective as potent opiates in pain control (e.g., dilaudid) but certainly have less abuse potential; indeed, I would argue that THC has less abuse potential than hydrocodone; even if you believe the literature that suggests that THC is associated with dependence (all of which does not come from independent laboratories), it certainly is not in the same category with highly addictive drugs such as meth-amph or heroin (even d-amph is classified as less addictive than THC by the US Govt!). Certainly if you have ever come across a stimulant psychotic you can admit that d-amph is far more dangerous than THC. All this aside, terminal cancer patients should have access to any drugs which they feel improve their subjective experience. Many of these patients are guaranteed death, and insufferable pain, which is almost always made worse by chemo/radiotherapy for the benefit of spending a few more months with their loved ones. These people deserve the relief from the extreme GI distress experienced as a result of chemo/radiotherapy (remember, conditioned taste aversion was first discovered in radiotherapy patients) that THC can provide. It took the medical community years to acknowledge that addictive potential is not a reason to deny cancer patients potent opaites, and they should readily admit the same for THC -- even if they object to the free (e.g., like alcohol) use of hemp. This aside, I should tell you there in a voter iniative in California legalizing the medical use of marijuana (for cancer, aids, IBD, etc.), and it has a 2-1 lead in the polls! Cheers Stephan

The tracks on this list should all look familiar, considering they all sat on the top of the list at one point or another. 2012 was an interesting year, where artists like Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, and 2 Chainz, really took it home with their singles. While the proof is listed below, the top spot belonged to Common, whose "Stay Schemin" remix hit as the #1 most popular song of 2012 on HipHopDX. Sure it was a direct shot against Drake (which explains much of the popularity). However, in the midst of current charting artists showing up every week, it spoke volumes that a veteran like Common could formally take the win. Check out all of the singles below. Some are not a surprise at all, while others are something of a shock.

Authorities have identified Devin Dean Weaver as the Rogers man who allegedly held two small children and his wife hostage before being shot by police last week.
Weaver, 24, was rushed to Washington Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville following the shootout Thursday. He was booked over the weekend into the Benton County Jail's system, although he remains in the hospital, according to the Benton County Sheriff's Office.
The suspect faces several felony charges, including two counts of aggravated assault, one count of domestic battery and two counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, according to the Benton County Sheriff's Office.
The Sheriff's Office requested a bond for Weaver be set at $250,000. His next court date is scheduled for March 24.
Benton County deputies responded to a domestic disturbance call around 1 a.m. early Thursday morning at 20329 Canary Drive in Rogers, after a female victim called 911 requesting help while saying her drunk husband was trying to break into the house and was possibly on drugs. After that, the phone was immediately disconnected, according to a probable cause affidavit released in the case.
After deputies arrived, they staked out the scene and could hear yelling coming from inside of the house. Sgt. Charles Wells kicked open the front door of the home, after which he came face-to-face with a bloody woman, later identified as the victim and wife of Weaver, according to the affidavit.
Wells grabbed the woman and pulled her out of the house, after which she yelled, "My babies are inside the house with him!"
Authorities outside the home learned that there were two young girls in the home with an armed male intruder, identified as Weaver. The intruder was identified as the husband of the female victim, according to the affidavit.
Negotiations began and shots were fired from the residence, causing deputies to seek shelter, according to the Sheriff's Office. Det. Greg Stevenson convinced Weaver to let the two small children go, after which the girls, aged 2 and 4 years old, ran out the front door, according to the probable cause affidavit compiled by the responding deputies.
The girls were immediately escorted to a separate location, and the female victim was transported by ambulance to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
"A brief confrontation between the armed subject and deputies led to the subject being shot and disarmed. He was treated on-scene by an attending physician, and later transported by helicopter to Washington Regional Hospital, where his condition is unknown," a news release from the Sheriff's Office stated Thursday.
It is not clear from the probable cause affidavit which officer or deputy shot Weaver. The report states, "Sgt. Wells observed the SWAT team stacking up on the far left of the residence near the front door and heard Detective Stevenson advising Devin to put the gun down. Sgt. Wells then heard the front door slam shut and then heard multiple shots being fired and Capt. Nathan Atchison's voice giving Devin directions to stay on the floor and not move."
The ongoing investigation is being led by the Arkansas State Police along with the Benton County Sheriff's Office.
The female victim later told investigators her husband came to the house late from a local bar and was drunk while trying to break in through a sliding glass door. Weaver broke through the glass, punched his wife in the face then threatened that she "was going out in a body bag," the reporting investigator states in the affidavit.
Weaver then allegedly told his wife "that when the police arrived, he would kill them," according to the report.
The suspect retrieved a shotgun from a closet and loaded it, before reportedly pointing it at the woman. She begged for him to kill her outside, away from the kids, the affidavit states. Weaver swung the shotgun "like a baseball bat" and hit the woman in the head several times, before stomping on her face with his boot, the reporting deputy states in the report.
The woman's lip was embedded in her braces because of the injuries suffered from the altercation. The wires on her braces had to be cut at the emergency room later to release it from her lip.
The woman heard law enforcement outside and ran from the house shortly afterward after Wells kicked the door in, according to the probable cause affidavit.
Weaver's criminal history includes arrests in Craighead County on suspicion of disorderly conduct in 2009, domestic battery in 2010 and third-degree assault on a family member in 2012.
Pastor Jack Bedford said he does not know the couple, but several people in his nearby church do.
"We don't hear about things like this in our community. This is not normal," Bedford said. "People that love one another, people that are closely related, like a husband and wife, when they have difficulties, there's some times that are intense. And this was one of those cases."
Bedford said despite the violent allegations against Weaver, the suspect is not beyond help.
"These people were not bad people. They had a bad situation, with two little children," the pastor said, adding that the community will band together to get through this tough time. "Our people are extremely stable, neighborly, know one another, watch out for each other. And there's nothing that's going to change that."

From the Dashboard's Home page, you can quickly access your site's content and get glimpses into other areas of the WordPress community.
The Dashboard Screen presents information in blocks called widgets. By default, WordPress delivers five widgets on this page: At a Glance, Activity, Quick Draft, WordPress News, and Welcome.
Default Dashboard Widgets
The following dashboard widgets are included by default with WordPress:
At a Glance
The At a Glance widget provides a summary of the number of Posts, Pages, and Comments on your site. Each of these content types are displayed in the form of a link and, when clicked upon, direct you to the specific area to manage that content.
A statement at the bottom of this widget tells you what WordPress Version you're running on and the current theme you have activated on your site.
Shows the upcoming scheduled posts, recently published posts, and the most recent comments on your posts and allows you to moderate them.
A list of the most Recent Comments on your blog is detailed in this widget. Each comments that is listed has a link to the related post title and clicking that link allows you to edit the post. Hovering the mouse over each comment activates a menu of choices to Approve (or Unappove)the comment, Edit the comment, Reply to the comment author, Spam--mark the commas spam, or Delete the comment.
The QuickDraft widget allows you to quickly and easily write a new draft. Enter a post title, upload/insert media, enter the post content, add tags, and click the Publish button or click the Save Draft button. It's that easy!

HEY There,You should keep feeding them until such a time that you see they no longer feed on the syrup. When the blooms are out and food is in abundance for them they will prefer that over the syrup and you will notice the syrup no longer going down.
You should feed them again in the late fall, early winter and through the winter, especially there first year to assure their chances of survival.
Thank you kathyp. I did some more reading today and have a better understanding now of why Im suppose to be inspecting the hive weekly. Im afraid to get ahead of myself. One step at a time.
A "happy" medium is an untreated hive of bees in medium boxes with a caring, conservative beekeeper watching over them! :-D :-D :-DLinda T in Atlanta
I just lay them down on a plastic bag (so nothing gets sticky) and just freeze. I also cover with newspaper, but don't believe it matters. I pile them on top of each other. As long as they are capped with beeswax on all sides, everything is sealed.

The owners of Herbiary, an herbal supplement business that was recently involved in a dispute about the use of a nearby residential property on Mermaid Lane for classes, wanted to let the community know that just because they no longer teach courses on the property, they are not closed.
"A few people read the headlines [in the Local] and thought because we're no longer teaching courses on Mermaid lane that we're closed," said Andrew Celwyn, who owns Herbiary, 7721 Germantown Ave., with his wife, Maia Toll.
Celwyn said he was disappointed that he and the property's owners couldn't reach an agreement with neighbors and was disappointed to lose the class space. Celwyn said he and Toll, however, are pushing forward and looking for another space to teach the classes.
"We see a lot of our mission as not just providing these products but providing an education that goes along with them," he said. "Folks aren't familiar with how to use herbs and other natural products to improve their health."
Where will those classes be held? Celwyn said Toll, who teaches most of the classes, usually takes the summer off and begins classes in the fall, so there is time to find a space.
"We're considering teaching down at Reading Terminal Market a little bit more (Herbiary has a second location at the Center City market)," he said. "There are other places in the area where we've talked about using. The holistic community is a pretty tight knit community. A lot of them have reached out to us and are interested working with us."
In the meantime, April Lea, Herbiary's "marketing maven" will be leading what she is calling a Summer Porch Demo Series.
"To fill the gap for herb knowledge until we sort out our class offerings, we're inviting recent graduates of Maia's to lead demonstrations on basic ways to use herbs in everyday life," Lea wrote in an email. "Demos will take place throughout the day on Saturdays here at the shop on Germantown Avenue."
Lea said no schedule has been settled yet and that anyone interested should keep up with the store's Facebook page, www.facebook.com/Herbiary and Toll's blog www.maiatoll.com .

Eschew DIY: Buy this ready-to-go in Rutledge
Address: 1712 Yorktown Drive
Neighborhood: Rutledge
Asking: $589,000
Assessment: $501,700
Year Built: 1958
Size: 2,800 fin. sq. ft., 200 unfin.
Land: 0.96 acres
Agent: Roger Voisinet, RE/MAX Realty Specialists, 434-974-1500
Curb Appeal: 7 out of 10
House hunters determined to buy an older house in a particular neighborhood may find they have few choices. One option may be to pay less for a "handyman's special," or worse, pay more for a handyman's renovations. Purchasing a DIY project is not for the inexperienced (just rent The Money Pit). First consider the extent of work necessary, how long the work will last, and the toll the project will take on pocketbook and psyche. A professionally remodeled house, on the other hand, has updated appliances, fixtures and systems, a fresh coat of neutral paint, and the immediate gratification of being move-in ready.
This rejuvenated ranch on Yorktown Drive has all those things. It sits on a nearly one-acre lot in the heart of the desirable Rutledge neighborhood, with several schools within walking distance. The 1950s exterior doesn't prepare visitors for the improvements inside.
The columned entryway opens into an expansive living room made from a former carport. Hardwood floors stained a rich brown tie this new room and adjacent dining room to the foyer. Windows on the exterior walls flood the room with light. Walls that divided this area were removed to provide a contemporary open design and increase the size of the kitchen.
Doors leading to the side yard and sunroom consume some of the floor space in the modest-size dining area, making furniture placement tight. But a sleek granite-tiled bar with additional seating in the dining area provides a dazzling view into the new kitchen. Contemporary white cabinets, stainless-steel appliances, and an island range hood sparkle under a central skylight. A glass cook-top, convection oven, beverage refrigerator, and built-in microwave are upgrades a cook will appreciate.
The ceramic tile floor continues from the kitchen into a large enclosed sunroom with access to a new deck that's sure to be a favorite area for entertaining. Below it, two stone fish ponds are surrounded by a small slate patio.
The original floor plan was optimized by the creation of a new master bedroom and bath where the living room used to be. Couples can cozy up by the fireplace in the room or use the space as an informal family room. The bathroom has been tiled, and upscale lighting and fixtures lend it a spa feel. To serve the remaining three bedrooms, a second hall bathroom has been remodeled with bead-board wainscoting, tile floor, and a sink built into an antique dresser.
Located in the walkout lower level is what was once known as a rec room— where confined kids played outlaws at the bar. This room is now referred to as a "man cave," where adults can watch games on a flat screen from the bar. Unlike a cave, the walls are brightly painted, and several windows bring lots of natural light into the space.
A small study could become a guest room or private space for a teenager; its adjacent storage area could be a bathroom. Just off the stairway, a laundry room has twin cedar closets and workspace for crafts or hobbies.
While the interior of this rancher was professionally transformed, the exterior is still rooted the 1950s. Breaking its horizontal line with a contemporary new entry would finish an otherwise perfect renovation and propel it completely into the 21st century.
