From pre-historic time to the present, hands have been essential to the evolution of humankind. Not only did physical dexterity enable man's survival, it played a major role in the development of civilization. Working in lock-step with creativity and critical thinking, hands, in a manner of speaking, have paved the road to the future, established diverse cultures across the globe, and recorded their deeds for generations to come. By definition, "hands" are physical parts of the body. It takes strong hands to hunt and gather, till the earth, work a job, invent new objects, help others, and get through life. By extension, "hands" can be symbolic, metaphoric, poetic, even spiritual.
In this exhibit, six diverse artists explore this deceptively simple subject to create imagery that ranges from provocative and profound to philosophical, prosaic and whimsical.
June Wayne, long recognized as the pioneer of contemporary lithography, has long been fascinated with fingerprints as a source of identity--a stand-in for self-portraits, if you will. In one of her sober prints, "Saw 'Long Day's Journey. . .'" (titled after Eugene O'Neill's powerful drama), a pair of her hand-stitched leather gloves plead to some vast, gray, unresponsive void. In the soulful "White Vista," another metaphoric portrait, a red dot floats toward a sunny dimension above a white finger-print rooted in sorrowful blue.
The late British photographer and poet John Coplans said, "I regard the body and mind as inseparable, a single field of human experience. . .the perceptual, the intellectual, and the pains and pleasure of memory." From this singular point of view, the erudite Coplans took photographs of his hands, presenting them as self-portraits. In "Double Hand," he cups both hands side-by-side, then bends his fingers forward to form a smiling face. In "Hand, Spread Fingers," a cropped photo of his two middle fingers evokes the shape of his body.
All of Suzy Lake's black and white photographs are titled "She No Longer Stares Blankly, Even if She's Not Supposed to." Each one is a framed image of a woman's arm, wrist, and/or hand firmly gripping a broom. To fully appreciate them, you must probe beneath the surface imagery. By taking command of "the job at hand," by using her arm and "hand" as both subject and object, Lake is exploring the politics of gender, body, and identity. Like haiku, less is more, and here it is pitch perfect.
Bruce Nauman is notorious for being elusive, and his untitled etching in this show is no exception. But look closely. The image is not an innocuous drawing of two extended hands; it's a symbol of vital communication that takes place in silence by means of sign language. In complete contrast, Dane Picard's digital videos are an instant knock-out. Delightful scenes of "Cheetahs" and "Herds of Horses" are created from fragments of hands and fingers collaged together. Then through high definition Blu-ray (BD) disks, his designs are transmitted across the screen in the form of graceful galloping animals.
June Wayne, "Saw 'Long Day's
Journey. . .'", 1975, color lithograph,
21 1/2 x 17 5/8".
John Coplans, "Hand, Spread
Fingers," 1987, photograph, 18 x 18".
Suzy Lake, "She No Longer Stares
Blankly, Even if She's Not Supposed
to #1," 1999, black and white
photograph, 11 1/2 x 10" framed".
Bruce Nauman, "Untitled," 1994,
single color etching, 19 3/7 x 22".
Alan Rath, "4 O'clock," 1991, 12"
cathode ray tube, 9" cathode
ray tube, aluminum, custom
electronics, 37 x 18 x 18".
|In Hannah Wilke's early-1970's video "Gestures," the late artist pulls and stretches her face with her hands to create a dozen different expressions. By slapping her cheeks, rubbing her head, squinting her eyes, and covering her mouth, Wilke completely changes her appearance.
Last, but far from least, is Alan Rath, the intellectual wit and trickster in this show. On view are two of his electronic sculptures ("4 O'Clock" and "Wave") that gesture, gyrate, blink, and interact with visitors by means of computer-generated sensors. "4 O'Clock" (a free-standing, three-screened, vertical floor sculpture) responds with spinning numbers when people order it to do so by touching the top panel marked with a hand. "Wave" (a flat, horizontal, 66-inch work mounted on the gallery wall) is shaped like its name. A wired panel of five hands lights up and they race across its width whenever viewers stand before it.
This innovative exhibit explores the creative interpretation of hands in ways both cerebral and intensely visceral. From the early days of video and contemporary lithography in the seventies (Wilke and Wayne); through photography and drawing in the eighties and nineties (Coplans, Nauman, Lake); to the latest electronic-interactive sculpture (Rath) and the digital Blue-Ray video (Picard) in the 21st-century, the narrowly focused theme as presented here is worthy of the time and attention required to explore its expected depths and surprising breadth.

The Labour Party continue to display a shocking amount of basic scientific, engineering and economic illiteracy. How sad.
_____Image Credit: Matt.______
The UK Labour party has a leak, and its election manifesto has escaped into the wild. Here's what it says about energy and climate.
Sustainable Energy
Labour's energy policy is built on three simple principles:
• To ensure security of energy supply and 'keep the lights on'
• To ensure energy costs are affordable for consumers and businesses
• To ensure we meet our climate change targets and transition to a low carbon economy
The UK energy system is outdated, expensive and polluting. Privatisation has failed to deliver an energy system that delivers for people, businesses or our environment.
One-in-ten households are in fuel poverty, yet according to the Competition Markets Authority customers are overcharged an enormous £2 billion every year.
Labour understands that many people don't have time to shop around, they just want reliable and affordable energy. So the next Labour Government will:

I am not trying to be contrary for the simple sake of being contrary. I like good games, I like bad games, but I do not like all games and I specifically do not enjoy rogue-likes. Rogue Legacy got a pass because at its heart it was a platformer. Player skill at least had a chance of over ruling a bad random character. I started it, got past initial frustration, and made it through to the end once before moving on.
In rogue-like terms what I did was 'play the tutorial.'
Darkest Dungeon was purchased because I will throw money at any attempt to even tangentially use Lovecraft and because Chance's enthusiasm is incredibly contagious. When the man loves a game he loves that game. He describes in endearing terms things that I despise, like perma-death and the random number generator being a cruel and vengeful god capable of wiping out a part of four on a whim. Three hours later I was not frustrated. I had not sent scores of heroes to their untimely deaths. But I wasn't engaged, either.
I was bored.
I was bored because the very crux of how the game works prevents me from caring about what happens. Heroes arrive via caravan and are sent, four at a time, into a randomly generated dungeon on one of several generic quests. They are literally disposable. Knowing this I was hesitant to upgrade them in any way. It was a waste of resources to buy skills for a character that is just going to die. At the same time I didn't want to lose them, either, as time and experience had been invested in their survival. I spent more money on wine, women, song and religion keeping them sane than on anything else.
They were both meaningless and irreplaceable. This is the very point of the game: it is more management of resources than anything else. When is it worth curing a character's venereal disease (this actually happens) and when should they be dismissed and replaced with a new, level one hero. My disinterest was palpable. This is a shame because the combat is exceptional. Mistakes are punished, de-buffs very important along with position in the group and party composition is literally the difference between success and failure. I would put the combat up against the press battle system of Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga, my two favorites, any day.
I want to play it but I can't because I can't deal with the management side of things. Take this combat, write a story and characters around it, and I will be happy. In other words, make it a different game and I will play it. The quality is there. I understand it and I understand what people see in it but am not interested in seeing any more of it for myself. Darkest Dungeon is still in early access. It certainly doesn't look or feel that way. In fact it feels remarkably complete. There is a chance that it will morph into something that I can play, but I doubt it.

Better Golf: Centred Contact
Nothing will give you a faster charge of confidence than hitting a ball out of the centre of the club face. Most players would, in fact, rather make solid contact even if the ball travels slightly off-line than a miss-hit shot which makes its way toward the target.
The video below discusses a few of the influences that can make the difference between striking the ball out of the centre of the club face or missing it all together.
The previous three videos in the Better Golf series talk about the need to control the club head, club face and angle of attack. These are all critical to get right to give you the best chance of making centred contact.

Legendary batsman Sunil Gavaskar today backed former India captain Sourav Ganguly to take over as interim president of BCCI following the sacking of Anurag Thakur from the top post by the Supreme Court.
Thakur and Ajay Shirke were yesterday removed as Board president and secretary respectively by the top court for their failure to implement the Justice R M Lodha committee's recommendations on BCCI reforms. Following the duo's ouster, various names have cropped up to take over the reigns of the Board.
The Lodha Committee, in its initial recommendations, had stressed that former players should administer BCCI.
Asked to name a person who he thinks was suitable to take up the job of BCCI president on an interim basis, Gavaskar said, "BCCI has got very good bench strength to take up the bigger rolls and one name that comes to my mind is Sourav Ganguly."
"Remember, in 1999-2000 when Indian cricket was gripped by the match-fixing saga, Ganguly was given the Indian team captaincy and he turned it around," Gavaskar told NDTV.
A bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur in an order had said that as an interim arrangement, the senior most vice president of the Board would act as the president and the present joint secretary would assume the work as the secretary.

Frost upside-down cupcakes with Cool Whip. Sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles. Insert licorice pieces into tops of cupcakes to create spider legs. Top with candies for the creepy eyes.
1/2 C peanut butter
In a mixing bowl stir together peanut butter and butter. Gradually add powdered sugar, stirring until combined. Shap into 1-inch balls; place on waxed paper. Let stand about 20 minutes or until dry. In a small saucepan melt candy coating over low heat. Dip balls, one at a time, into coating. Let excess coating drip off peanut butter ball. Let stand until coating is firm. Add a dot of black get to the center of candy pieces for pupils. Drizzle red gel onto balls for bloodshot eyes. Makes about 20 eyeballs.
12 ounce Can frozen lemonade
Thaw sherbert for approximately 15 minutes and place in a plastic tub. Add lemonade (prepared according to directions) and 7-up. Sherbert will melt and turn mixture day old bathwater grayish-brown. Float a handful of green, yellow and white tiny after dinner mints (tiny bars of soap) on top of the punch.
(When cake is cut, it spurts green goop.)
Black Frosting
Prepare cake using two 9-inch round cake pans. Cool.
Prepare the gelatin according to package directions. It works best if it is just a little on the soft side. On a foil-covered cookie-sheet, place one cake layer for the body. Cut a smaller circle out of the center of the layer. Place this smaller round of cake as the spider's head. Fill the hole left in the body layer with gelatin. Place the other cake layer on top of the body and trim cake slightly to shape, if desired. To prepare frosting, in a mixing bowl, add blue food coloring to the chocolate frosting until black in color. Frost the entire cake black. Cut the black licorice whips in half and insert for the eight legs. Position the gumballs as eyes.
1 18-oz roll refrigerated sugar-cookie dough
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 12-inch pizza pan or 3 baking sheets. With lightly floured hands, pat the cookie dough into prepared pizza pan. If using baking sheets, divide dough into thirds and pat each third into a 7-inch circle onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes for pizza pan or 8 to 10 minutes for smaller circles of dough, or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on wire rack. Spread vanilla pudding over baked cookie. Sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Cover and chill. Meanwhile, decorate cookie tombstones. Press cookies into pudding lay of pizza. If necessary, support back of cookies with some of the candies. Decorate "graveyard" with candies. Create peering eyes with candy-coated chocolate peanuts make shoes, feet, and hands with gumdrops; and arrange jelly worms. Cover and chill up to 4 hours before serving. Makes 16 to 20 servings.
|3 cardboard boxes can be painted or covered in crepe paper to look like Draculas Coffin. Make sure you have a lift up lid. This can be made from extra cardboard. Don't forget to decorate the inside. This coffin can be used in several ways. As a place for the food buffet, balloons or prizes for your guests, or just as a decoration complete with Dracula and a wooden stake through his heart.
|Fill rubber gloves with water and freeze. Take blindfolded guests into a closet and tell them they must shake hands with a dead man before they can eat. (Or make up any story.) Imagine their shock when the hand they shake is cold as ice.
|Hang plastic or pompom spiders and bugs from the ceiling using black thread. Hang lots of threads with nothing on them so that they go across your guests' faces like spider webs when they cross the room.
|Peel grapes and freeze. Hand two to people and ask if they would mind holding your eyeballs for a moment. Or you can have a bowl of eyeballs. Or if your guest in the closet doesn't fall for the dead hand, give him your eyeballs as a reward.
|Use only candlelight or light from a Jack'O'Lantern.

Weather Alert: Staying Safe on Winter Roads
November 26, 2017
Filed under Features, News-Based
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
As the weather begins to dip and the winter months draw closer, slick roads and heavy snowfall require serious precautions before drivers go behind the wheel.
Fortunately, Lisa LeMahieu, a health teacher and coach at NHS, works with Rockets Against Destructive Decisions (RADD) to help students prepare for the icy conditions of winter roads.
RADD is an organization to help students become knowledgeable and well equipped for the winter season.
"Allow yourself more time to get to your destination. We live in a society where we pack as much as we can into our day which leaves minimal time for travel," LeMahieu said in regards to her winter safety advice.
The organization is promoted primarily during winter and prom, a well-known time of the year when the rate of student consumption of illicit substances is the greatest.
"I think we see accidents in the winter because people don't slow down. They have a hard time reacting to the icy snow conditions," Vicki Strebel, an officer with the Neenah Police Department, reports.
In the last five years, the State of Wisconsin received approximately 18,600 motor vehicle crash reports in the winter because of snow, ice and/or slush covering the roads, according to the Wisconsin Emergency Management team at ReadyWisconsin.
In order to stay safe this winter, educated adults aim to inform students on the best safe driving advice and provide the tools every driver needs to maintain safety on the road.
For further information and supplies for safe driving this winter see LeMahieu in room 310.

Through a partnership with Hungry for Life Canada, Invest Hope worked with the community of Peredo in providing a water system using a natural spring in the mountains. Local community leaders came to David and I years ago asking for help in accessing clean water. Although we had no idea how to fund the project let alone complete it, God did! And although it took several years to find a partner, it did happen.
The community themselves put in A LOT of sweat equity into this project. My husband, David, managed the project and transported most materials from Jacmel to Peredo (an hours drive on rough terrain).
Below are some pictures of the project and the Haitians working on a project in their own community that they and their families are now directly benefiting from!
Note: there is one Cistern at the source of the spring, 3 kiosk stations where people bring buckets to fill with clean spring water, 10 direct lines into yards of families.

Theatre year in review: All the highs and lows
<!--[if gte mso 9]>
Sydney Theatre Company's production of Jonathan Biggins's Talk, a play partially about truth in the media, arrived just as the Trump regime had opened the sluices on its deluge of lies. Good timing! But the play, about a lunar-right shock-jock (John Waters), felt like an extravagantly extended sketch from Biggins's usual satirical home in The Wharf Revue – the difference being that the laughs were in considerably shorter supply. JS
Directors Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan's stage adaptation of 1984 (for Sydney Theatre Company and State Theatre Company of South Australia) excessively distorted Orwell's intentions by spending a wildly disproportionate amount of stage time on the torture of Winston Smith, despite constituting only 15 percent of the book. If this was a misguided desire to shock it was a failure. JS
2. Surprise packet
David Williamson's Odd Man Out (at the Ensemble) contained his most compelling protagonist in years: the Asperger-affected Ryan. Justin Stewart Cotta gave a finely nuanced realisation of what it means to be hyper-intelligent and emotionally stunted, often staring into the audience with a confronting expression that simultaneously spoke of emotional vacancy and a brain seething with ideas. JS
On paper a musical version of Madeleine St John's novel The Women in Black (for Sydney Festival) seemed like adding sugar to honey. Yet although Carolyn Burns' book and Tim Finn's music and lyrics couldn't escape a certain archness and predictability on occasion, they also rose above this to tug at the heartstrings with unexpected frequency. Finn's music was at its best when espousing a cafe-society blitheness, while his lyrics were crammed with witty rhymes. JS
Louis Nowra resurrected his alter ego Lewis in his first new play in a decade. We last saw him in Cosi and Summer of the Aliens in the early 90s. In This Much is True, Lewis wanders into The Rising Sun pub, an old-fashioned watering hole in Woolloomooloo, where holding up the bar are a meth cook, debt collector, drag queen and a con man. The play is inspired by characters Nowra has encountered since he began frequenting Woolloomooloo and the Old Fitzroy Hotel. Being performed in the Old Fitz theatre added an extra dimension to a work that interweaves tall tales, and a few that just might be true. JM
3. Courting controversy
Chimerica, a play by Lucy Kirkwood about the Tiananmen Square massacre, lobbed on The Ros Packer Theatre stage like a hand-grenade. Here was individual frailty facing the clanking steel of monolithic power, and moral outrage inverting fear. A cross between a thriller and an investigative documentary, the play created some flaring resonances with Trump's presidency. But then you can probably find Trump implications in a box of chocolates these days. Certainly they were there in the step-by-stealthy-step elimination of opposition in Cabaret. JS
"Consider hiring someone who is nothing like you. I want our industry, and our world, to trust women, like they so clearly and readily trust men. I want our industry to stop thinking and talking about diverse creative teams and put some serious time and money into developing those artists." So spoke theatre practitioner Julia Patey in her address as recipient of the Rose Byrne Female Arts Leadership scholarship. She noted that of eight major theatre companies in Australia, only one has a female artistic director. In her plea for greater diversity she added: "If the work that is programmed in the future is as white and as male as it has been in the past, we have failed." JM
4. Our highlights
More important than such gloomy resonances in this Cabaret was Paul Capsis's performance as the Emcee. Towering, glowering, wicked and wonderful, Capsis executed light-switch transitions from being hysterically funny to being oddly, unexpectedly moving. He also delighted in choreographer Kelley Abbey's ritualised pornography, which was so deliciously lewd it was though the Kit Kat Klub has become a damp patch on the bed of Nazism. JS
Muriel's Wedding the Musical ended the year on a high. PJ Hogan adapted his screenplay for the stage. The 1994 movie was never a saccharine sweet coming-of-age story, and that has not been lost in the transition. Yet the tale, updated for the Instagram age, ultimately is upbeat and open-hearted. Stepping into Muriel Heslop's shoes – and the role so identified with Toni Collette – Maggie McKenna made an unforgettable mainstage debut. With impeccable comic timing, strong presence and a fine voice, McKenna is the goods. Songs by Keir Nuttall and Kate Miller-Heidke hold their own alongside Abba's tunes. Simon Philipps directs with panache this co-production between Global Creatures and the Sydney Theatre Company. JM
In the potent Mark Colvin's Kidney the two protagonists, Mary-Ellen Field (Sarah Peirse) and Mark Colvin (John Howard), masked their fears, vulnerabilities and blind fury behind walls of strength, humour and stoicism, and, when those walls did crack, playwright Tommy Murphy stripped his characters of their articulateness, and made us suffer what was left unsaid. David Berthold's Belvoir production was all about compassion and a courage that transcends the need for enemies. JS
It might reasonably seem that the current political universe leaves the poor satirist with nowhere to go. Save your sympathy. Jonathan Biggins, Drew Forsythe and Phillip Scott breezed through that dilemma like three bankers through an inquiry. The funniest parts of this year's Wharf Revue – read anything to do with Trump and Blazey Best's Michaela Cash impression – were as good as anything the team has done. Trump had to be good for something. JS
French playwright Florian Zeller's The Father steps inside the fragmenting mind of retired engineer Andre. There are flashes of the proud, charming man he once was, before the fog of dementia began to roll in. But the ground keeps shifting around him in his Parisian apartment. Or is it his daughter's apartment? John Bell was outstanding as Andre. Bell has delivered many wonderful performances over decades, but this is at least on par with anything I have seen him do. Director Damien Ryan made a welcome Sydney Theatre Company debut. JM
The year ahead
Two earnest young Mormon missionaries are posted to a Ugandan village dominated by a violent warlord. What could possibly go wrong? The Book of Mormon, the acclaimed musical created by South Park's Trey Parker and Matt Stone with composer/lyricist Robert Lopez, finally arrives in Sydney in February. JM
Take an economy in crisis and a corrupt system and add an ambitious small-time gangster. How has he got to the top? It's a question many of us have asked over the past year. Bertolt Brecht wrote The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui about the rise of Hitler. Hugo Weaving stars in the Sydney Theatre Company's production.

AH Screening Plus date
Absolute Health has developed comprehensive screening programs using an integrative approach to assess predisposition to various degenerative disease including Diabetes, Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, Cerebrovascular Disease, Renal Disease etc. We use conventional laboratory testing plus energetic screening as well as the cutting-edge technology of Molecular Gene Testing.
If heart disease is a concern, we will evaluate not only your cholesterol and triglyceride levels but also emerging risk factors for heart disease such as homocysteine, lipoprotein (a), hs C-reactive protein, fibrinogen and other clotting parameters.
Blood tests can be performed to measure levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and thyroid hormones. This will help your doctor determine whether you suffer from hormone deficiencies that could increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, or other ailments. Bone density screening using impedance analyzer will reveal the density and strength of your bones. To identify insulin resistance (a risk factor for type 2 diabetes), your doctor will review your fasting blood glucose, HDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, blood pressure, and weight.
All of the information gathered from your history and physical examination as well as these and other noninvasive tests will be used to create your personalized treatment program.

A 10-year-old boy from Iceland who has autism built an astounding replica of the Titanic out of Legos, and now that model has found a home in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee at the Titanic Museum Attraction until 2020.
Brynjar Karl Birgisson, now 15, created the 5-foot-high, 4-foot-wide Titanic model using 56,000 Legos, according to Knox News. Birgisson developed an obsession with the ill-fated ship, and he spent 11 months building the giant replica. His grandpa, who initially thought the massive scale of the project would put his grandson off making it, helped him. The duo even borrowed a storage room in order to have space to construct the massive project. Ultimately, they spent at least 700 hours recreating the beloved ship.
The Internet named Birgisson "the Lego boy" and his impressive creation, which cost nearly $8,105 in U.S. currency to build, toured around the world with stops in Norway, Sweden, Germany, and Iceland.
Even more astonishing, the interior of the Lego Titanic features lights, and 200 passengers reside on its decks. Alongside the replica, the museum runs a five-minute video highlighting the tragic story of the ship's collision with the iceberg, complete with black and white photos of passengers on the wall behind it. According to the museum, Birgisson's model is the largest Lego replica of the ship in existence.
Due to its massive size, Birgisson had no place to keep it, so he felt he would need to destroy his amazing Lego creation. However, the museum came to the rescue after learning of the model's potential fate because of a letter Birgisson's mom, Bjarney Ludviksdottir, wrote. Today, Birgisson, his mother, and his grandfather, Ludvik Ogmundsson, visited the museum to see their creation's new home. The boy felt that his Lego ship belongs in the attraction devoted to the Titanic.
Birgisson credits the project with helping him move out of an "Autistic fog." He said that setting the goal and working so hard to complete it changed his life for good. Because of all the positive publicity, he feels more comfortable in public and less shy than he did before.
The Titanic, billed as unsinkable, sank early on the morning of April 15, 1912. At least 1,517 people perished in the Atlantic Ocean when the ship collided with an iceberg during its maiden voyage between England and the United States. Part of the reason for such a massive loss of life is because the ship's creators equipped it with too few lifeboats.

Lays Canada is back at it again for the Do Us a Flavour contest. Last year they had Creamy Garlic Caesar, Grilled Cheese & Ketchup, Maple Moose, and Perogy Platter…but in the end… Maple Moose ended up winning. This caused some online outrage because it was quite a disgusting flavour for chips. Earlier this year, the Maple Moose chips was discontinued due to low sales.
This year when submissions were open, they received more than one million flavour submissions from fans coast to coast. The 4 finalists this year are:
- Bacon Poutine
- Cinnamon Bun
- Jalapeño Mac N' Cheese
- Tzatziki
The ultimate winner will receive $50,000 plus one per cent of their flavour's future sales.
I bought all 4 chips from Save On Food and made myself a blind test to see how the flavours compared.
One thing different this year is how some of the chips were on different types of chips – original, kettle chips, and Wavy.
Bacon Poutine on Lay's Original by Guillaume Lorrain from Trois-Rivières, Quebec
The taste was familiar kinda like BBQ chips because of the smokey flavours. The flavour was good but it wasn't anything unique.
Cinnamon Bun on Lay's Original by Gloria Melanson from London, Ontario.
This is probably the weirdest flavour of the bunch especially when cinnamon buns and chips would never mix. You definitely get a distinct flavour of the cinnamon bun, but then when the potato flavour hits, you are wondering why the chip is sweet and not salty.
Jalapeño Mac N' Cheese on Lay's Wavy by Randall Litman from Calgary, Alberta
This is definitely a flavour that I can see on the shelves! It is very cheesy and then you get the hint of pickled jalapeños. It's weird how they wouldn't have thought of this chip flavour before.
Tzatziki on Lay's Kettle Cooked by Denise Vella from Cambridge, Ontario
Tasted like Sour cream and onion but with the hint of cucumber and yogurt aftertaste. This flavour did not get my tastebuds tingling…I thought it was weird.
Voting is now open for Canadians to decide the winning flavour by trying the four and voting for the yummiest from August 12 – October 15.
Canadians can vote once per day on each of the following platforms:
- Lays.ca/Flavour
- Tweet using vote and one of the flavour finalist hashtags (i.e. #VoteFlavourName)
- Instagram using vote and one of the flavour finalist hashtags (i.e. #VoteFlavourName)
- Text VOTE to 101010
I don't know which one I am voting for yet, but I am either choosing Jalapeño Mac N' Cheese or Bacon Poutine. Tzatziki and Cinnamon Bun were way too weird for me.

Under Traditional Chinese Medicine, there are five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. They describe the movement and energy of all life and all the qualities we encounter in Nature and ourselves. Understanding the elements and man's place in the natural order helps promote harmony with Nature.
J.R. Worsley, the author of "The Five Elements and The Officials", states "[e]very living thing and every person on the planet is a unique embodiment and combination of the Five Elements...The spirit of the Elements, the unique character of each in the cycle of change and transformation, is what sustains life and gives the whole of Nature, ourselves included, a sense of purpose, growth and fulfillment". Each Element represents a season and they present a wonderful example of the "ceaseless cycle" of the "Qi energy" as there is no beginning or end, only "change and transformation".
Awareness of the Five Elements opens a window of insight as to the essential nature of the partnership between Man and Nature.

Almond Joy Hot Chocolate
yield: 2 small mugs of chocolate
- 1 cup almond milk, preferably homemade (make this with soaked whole blanched almonds in water for around 4 hrs and then remove the skin & drain the water. Liquidise this with the milk and sieve from muslin cloth to get creamy almond milk
- 1/4 cup coconut milk - Option as I have not used this.
- 3.5 oz (about 1/2 cup) milk or semi-sweet chocolate, or mix of chocolates. Don't use dark chocolate unless you like a slightly bitter cup of chocolate
- toasted coconut
- 1-2 drops almond extract (optional)
This first step isn't mandatory, at all, but I must recommend it because it makes your hot chocolate mugs look ever so cute. Melt the chocolate, and dip the tops of the mugs in the chocolate about 1/4". You can leave them like they are...
Or dip the wet chocolate tops into the toasted coconut! This gives your mugs a lovely rim of chocolate and coconut, and not only does it look great, but it adds a little extra flavor as well. Place them in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the hot chocolate.
Combine the almond milk and the coconut milk in a small saucepan. If you want to boost the almond flavor, add a drop or two of almond extract. You cannot be too careful in adding the extract! Few things are worse than an overpowering almond flavor, so start small and taste as you go. The extract should add just an extra hint of almond, and should barely be noticeable.
Once your liquids are mixed, add the chocolate you previously melted to the saucepan, and place the pan over medium heat.
Whisk the chocolate and milks together over medium heat. At first, they'll resist combining, and you'll have little specks of chocolate floating in your milk. Don't give up hope! Keep whisking and heating...
And as the chocolate heats, everything will even out and become beautifully thick and smooth. Taste the hot chocolate--if your milk and your chocolate are not very sweet, you might want to add a litttle sugar or honey to balance them out.
Serve your almond joy hot chocolate in your beautifully crafted mugs. This is a very rich "sipping chocolate," and I have found that a little goes a long way--even with my sweet tooth. It also thickens as it cools, so be sure to drink it when it's warm. Enjoy!

RE: Confidential To
Original Message --------
I'll share the blame on the web site. Our site is set up for one-person
operation with the same features flowing to the same places each week. Our
technology, unfortunately, does not link letters with the articles being
addressed; that has to be done by hand. My original thought was to ask the
webmaster to create a special link between the Sugg column and your response, so
each would have a visible link to the other. Obviously we have to have the
response to do that. When all this began, I figured we'd make the links, include
any correction, and be done. The actual course of events has been more
fragmented. We will certainly ensure that the related elements are all linked
together. You have written very good responses to the problems you see in
John's work. I think we should publish them. This is a basic dispute over
interpretation of events. John's case is that the circumstances were
misleading to people. The essence of the case you're making is that, yes you solicited contributions for your defense, yes you bought some property, and at
least a jury sided with Jane even if the case was ultimately lost -- but your
actions were open and above-board, weren't overzealous or whatever else might be stated or implied in John's presentation. On an issue like this, the best
corrective for undesirable speech is more speech -- a response to the initial
one. That's what all of us in journalism rest our careers on. We've had on the
table for a good while now the offer of space to respond. It is time for all of
us to move to something else, including John. I would dearly love to see you get
your response to Atlanta, and I'll urge Ken to make superhuman efforts to get it
into this week's paper. Then we'll make sure we have the appropriate links on
the web site. Neil
Have you had a chance to
review the emails to see if response more favorable to Jane and me is
awaiting your response before finalizing my 500-word letter.
Skene wrote:
I have been out today and just read your letter. To tell you the truth, I have
watched the exchanges between you and John go by as if it were a blur. I see an
enormous expenditure of energy and verbiage, which seems to keep returning to
such issues as whether the place is a "house" or a
"townhouse," and whether the fund-raising began
"immediately." >From the outset, both the editor and I have taken
the reasonable position that you will have some space to respond. We went out of
our way, probably unwisely, to give you a chance to help us understand the
nature of your concerns. And we've offered you space to respond -- more than we
typically give to a
letter-writer. An error is an error, but these are pretty
tangential to the main issues. I appreciate Tom Julin's kind appraisal.
Tom will also be the first to stick to his guns when he thinks he has a valid
case, no matter how loud the clamor against him. In this case, there's a huge
clamor, perhaps room for a more innocent interpretation of the circumstances
than the column presented (which is the opinion you'll presumably set forth in
your published letter), but you're a public figure and you asked people for
donations for your cause, and I have a hard time finding John's commentary to be
beyond the pale. I will look at the volume of emails to determine whether
I think the editor has acted unreasonably.Neil
Dear Neil,
mutual friend Tom Julin assures me he has the highest respect for you as a
journalist, so I can only assume you must have turned over our request for
corrections to an editor who apparently does not subscribe to the high ethical
standards applied by you and most conscientious journalists. As
you gather, I am sorely disappointed at your Atlanta papers's response to the
documentation we provided to show that corrections are clearly warranted as a
result of the September 11 Fishwrapper column. In fact, we believe what we
provided was more than enough evidence to suggest even an apology is due in wake
of what can fairly be described as nothing more than an unwarranted and
malicious personal attack on Jane and me by your columnist. First,
as I have mentioned to you before, I have serious concerns about the placement
of what were termed "clarifications" in the current issue. And before
I go on, since we're talking about corrections, why DID your paper label them

back to the placement issue. You continue to allow Internet readers to
easily access the original column with easy-to-find links from the current
Fishwrapper. Wouldn't basic fairness dictate that visitors who do link to the original column should be able to either easily see on that page or
easily link to another page where the corrections are as prominent and easy to
find as the original errors still in the column? Of course you could also simply edit the original column to incorporate the corrections instead of
continuing to publish information you know is inaccurate or misleading.
are also extremely disappointed with the fact that what efforts have been made
have been buried. Even knowing corrections were online somewhere on your
site, neither Jane nor I could find it.
least on the Internet, which is all I can see from here, it is buried at the
bottom of nine letters to the editor in a section called Talk of The
Town. And what's even more unfair about this placement: even if one were to click on Talk Of The Town from your homepage, one would have to know which of
NINE separate links there would take you to the page where you could then scroll
down and hunt for these corrections.
don't mean to be disrespectful and I'm sure you don't welcome any
journalistic advice from me but, please, do you and your papers not subscribe to
a basic tenant of ethical journalism that errors should be corrected with the
same general prominence as the original error?
this isn't just some wild idea of mine. I note that while the
Association of Alternative Newsweeklies has no Code of Ethics or published
standards members should aspire to, Article IV of the American Society of Newspaper Editors' Statement of Principles says:
analytical articles and commentary should be held to the same standards of
accuracy with respect to facts as news reports. Significant errors of fact, as
well as errors of omission, should be corrected promptly and prominently."
Code of Ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists also makes it clear:
sent you seven well-documented examples of errors in Sugg's column. What
has been done with them is not,
sent you seven well-documented examples of errors in Sugg's column. What
has been done with them is not,
accurately corrected the fact that our fundraising did not begin immediately
upon filing our lawsuit—but you ignored clear evidence that Sugg's
characterization of our fundraising could not be honestly characterized as "vigorous." One mention on a website qualifies as "vigorous?"
accurately corrected Sugg's mis-reporting of our real estate as "a
townhouse" but instead of telling your readers he was on notice of the
inaccuracy of that information pre-publication and yet never even then bothered
to check the primary source (assessors' records easily available on the
internet), your paper makes it appear there is still some question about the
accuracy of your columnist's report by writing "Wilson says it's actually a
"house." Come on Neil, do you have to go to lengths like that to
protect your guy? I sent you the record from the primary source Sugg never
consulted. It is a house, it's not just that I claim it is.
And more important, is that fair to your readers?
that's what little "good news" there is in your paper's efforts to
correct the slew of errors Sugg published.
are amazed that instead of correcting Sugg's report that Jane and I were fired
for repeated acts of insubordination, your "clarifications" merely
characterize that as the station's position and goes on to say Jane and I
claimed we were fired as whistleblowers. Then, instead of accurately and
honestly reporting that a jury agreed with Jane, your correctionignores that
fact and jumps to, "The station prevailed when an appeals court ruled the
state's whistleblower statute didn't apply."
your readers need to know a jury heard five weeks of testimony, viewed all the
evidence, and sided with Jane before an appeals court overturned their decision
on a legal technicality which is totally unrelated to why we were fired?
"clarifications" also altogether ignored Sugg's assertion, printed as
fact, that our legal exposure of $3 million is "a gross exaggeration."
We clearly documented it is not. Any competent, independent lawyer would
confirm that. Do your readers not deserve to know that the assertion you
published as fact is, indeed, incorrect?
especially troubling: your clarifications also completely ignore Sugg's
grossly inadequate and unfair summarization of our response to his clear
implications that we misappropriated funds donated for legal expenses.
Back to that ASNE Statement of Principals for a moment, do you and your papers
not subscribe to the journalistic principle that:
effort must be made to assure that the news content is accurate, free from bias
and in context, and that all sides are presented fairly."
you agree that Sugg's summarization of our responses to serious allegations
and implications by merely reporting "Wilson last week refused to disclose any
accounting of the money he collected for the lawsuit," is far froman honest
and fair report or interpretation of the response we actually provided?
don't think our statement that we have painstakingly kept our promise to spend
donated funds only for legal fees and our offer to provide a full accounting to
any donor of date should have been included in a fair report of how we responded
when confronted with year-old real estate records?
from the SPJ Code of Ethics:
voice to the voiceless…"
you not fail to provide us a voice when you allow your columnist to ignore the
statements we provide by not using even a single quote from us? Does that
kind of journalistic misconduct, apparently condoned by your editor, not lead
the reader to believe we had no real response?
I won't even get into the convoluted details about Sugg's false
characterizations of the "reasonable belief" issue at trial, or the actual
basis of what we decried as lies in the reports we were pressured to broadcast.
closing, we do appreciate your paper's offer of 500 words. Please advise
the deadline for that response to be included in your next issue.
meanwhile, I again appeal to you personally to assure the corrections we have
requested are made fully and fairly. You can and should act immediately to
assure whatever you publish in response to the material we sent is given
reasonably the same prominence as the errors in the column you continue to
publish on your website.
you again for your time and consideration. I look forward to your

Changes to receive foreign hosts
Cidade do Galo, Toca da Raposa II and Arena do Jacaré have suffered structural modifications in order to host aces like Messi, Arturo Vidal and Luis Suárez. All makeovers have been praised as a Cup legacy
From the 5th of June on, Minas Gerais will be flooded, once and for all, by World Cup's atmosphere. The date marks the arrival of Chilean delegation to the State. Chileans are the first of three national squads who are going to use Minas Gerais as base to their World cup trainings. Jorge Sampaoli, Alexis Suárez and other Chilean aces are going to be hosts of Toca da Raposa II, original GQ of Cruzeiro football team.
Four days after that, Uruguayans and Argentinians - both two-times world champions - are going to be the ones to arrive at Confins airport to start preparation phase to the Cup. "Los hermanos" - as Argentinians are fondly called by Brazilians - will be hosted at Cidade do Galo - original home of Atlético football team - at Vespasiano, 27 km from the capital, Belo Horizonte. In the meantime, the Uruguayans, hosted at Sete Lagoas (72 km from BH), take the first steps towards the dream of a new Maracanazo (inserir link para matéria sobre documentário que fala do Maracanazo traduzida em 05/06). In this town, they will divide themselves between JN Resort and the trainings at Arena do Jacaré stadium.
Each of these places has suffered structural modifications in order to host aces like Messi, Arturo Vidal and Luis Suárez. All makeovers have been praised as a Cup legacy.
"The Chileans have asked few modifications at Toca. We also understood that some of the requests were part of our constant process of structural modernization. Toca was built 11 years ago and we knew that some things needed to be changed in order to provide more comfort to the athletes", says Cruzeiro's communications director, Guilherme Mendes.
"The presence of Uruguayan team is highly important for Sete Lagoas citizens. We are going progress in several areas, as telecommunications for example. Places that didn't have access to optic fiber and to a good internet service will benefit from that", declares the sports secretary of Sete Lagoas, César Maciel.
The same happens at Cidade do Galo. Even discarding any kind of privilege for Messi and his troupe, Atletico's team, Alexandre Kalil, has given a free pass to all requests. "Atlético won't give any special treatment. Now is what they (Argentinians) want. When you rent a house, you change the furniture the way you want it", he notes.
Although some interventions are not exactly cheap ones, the teams managers won't do without the expenses. The invested values haven't been revealed, but expectations are of an undoubted return. "The money we are investing we are surely getting back with tourists and the progress (that will come from it)", says Maciel, from Sete Lagoas.

To state that the 36 states in the federation plus Abuja have fallen on bad times in the last one year is to state the obvious. The truth is that most, perhaps with one or two exceptions, are already tottering precariously towards insolvency – the result of the industrial scale theft said to have taken out nearly one-fifth of the domestic output of the nation's crude. All across the 36 states capitals, the story of massive cutback in capital spend has since become the rule rather than exception. With shrunk monthly allocations, most states have barely enough to take care of recurrent expenditures let alone take on development projects. And with paltry Internally Generated Revenues, many have had to resort to borrowing to augment their finances. In the circumstance, it should be easy to understand the renewed clamour by states under the aegis of the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC) to hive off petrol subsidy; it smacks of attempt to shore up the distributive pool and hence boost their share.
Now, this is something that would have been unthinkable a few months ago. Indeed, the nationwide protests which greeted the January 2012 attempt would have rendered such contemplations a death wish. That the nation is back – or nearly so – where it left off in 2012 is a measure of how much the issue will simply not go away.
To be sure, we have heard of the denial by President Jonathan during his last media chat that any such plan to hike petrol price was in the offing. However, I don't think Nigerians can be fooled by such tepid assurances in the background of the rather insistent and strident pressure by the commissioners on the federal government to take the issue on. Moreover, it is hard to miss the import of recent findings by the controversial pollster – NOI polls – which suggest that more than 90 percent Nigerians are already buying their fuel above the official prices. Nigerians understand the game well enough to appreciate the theme as part of an elaborate, choreographed plot by the Jonathan administration to force the bitter pill.
Of course, knowing how emotive Nigerians are when it comes to any discussions on the subject, one can only infer that the reason citizens have not bothered to denounce the still unfolding "satanic agenda" is because they have more serious issues to worry about in Boko Haram at the moment! Even at that, I do not see them yielding any grounds now or in the near future in any further discussions on the issue given the apparent lack of sincerity and bad faith on the part of government since that last time out in 2012. The indications are that the citizens would in fact be more resolute next time around.
And why not?
The reason(s) is at the heart of the story underlying the clamour which seeks to draw more of our blood. The single official line of course is that the FAAC hasn't enough to share. In other words, the nation could not meet up the daily crude production target of 2.5 million barrels per day as set out in the 2013 budget. We have been told that for nearly the whole of that year, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and its principal, the federal government, could only deliver, on average, four-fifths of the projected budget output. And that the situation seems unlikely to change in the current fiscal year. In other words, our federal government, under President Goodluck Jonathan, is unable to tame the black market economy of oil theft.
You think it's hard to imagine the scale of industrial theft and associated production shut-ins in which a nation would be bled by nearly 400,000 barrels of daily crude output? You guessed right: Only in Jonathan's impunity republic would such quantum of losses be conceivable. Like their Boko Haram counterparts, the oil-thieves are evidently ghosts!
But then, think about the fact that no hard questions are asked nor explanations given as to how the army and navy would sit idly by while watching the nation loose a fifth of its projected earnings. And now imagine that state governments, co-beneficiaries from the federation account that couldn't take the lead to demand that the federal government rise up to its responsibility and NNPC to give proper renditions of its accounts beyond the monthly show of walkouts to protest revenue shortfalls now assuming the leadership of the remove-the-subsidy orchestra! We are talking of an industry in which the overseeing minister is on record to have shelled out N10 billion for the love of the luxury toys.
By the way, what does our body of finance commissioners know about the nation's transparently opaque oil industry? How much of its rentier value chain that feeds fat on the citizens' misery do they know? What do they know of the bungling Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), the so-called oil industry police that looks on while all manners of economic saboteurs carry on with their rape and plunder? How much of the activities of the department do they know? Or their kith, the club of fuel importers and their allies in the bureaucracy who between them are known to have fleeced the treasury of trillions of naira in illicit earnings in the last few years?
And then you ask: of what value is the monthly conclave FAAC beyond the monthly ritual of sharing unearned money?
I haven't exactly said that the states could not do with more money. As a matter of fact, they do. I would even go as far as to argue that they deserve far more than the paltry 24 percent they are getting under the existing revenue sharing formula. Even here, my understanding is that states are not even seriously considering pushing this route. Or even the more enduring route of tapping into their latent potentials, preferring, as it were, the usual route of easy money without breaking a sweat. This is where the problem lies.
For the purposes of clarity, I need to make the point: the case for the states needing more money can also be made for the need to enhance citizens' disposable incomes. Whereas the states need funds to execute their programmes, the larger economy needs citizens' enhanced disposable incomes to run. It is called cash at hand –economists call it effective demand. As it is, the Nigerian citizen is overburdened enough with governmental inefficiencies without the need for the cyclic rod of affliction.
Does that amount to a foreclosure on the subsidy debate? Far from it. Yours truly has never denied that the argument for the subsidy removal is anything but compelling. It is a matter of cold, rational economics. The point of departure is whether to treat the subsidy as cause or effect. For me, only when citizens and the government come to a common understanding on this point can we begin to make headway. For now, the states will do well to consider thinking out of the box to boost their revenues. It is the smart thing to do.

Saptagiri LLB is a remake of director Subhash Kapoor's Bollywood hit Jolly LLB.
Sapthagiri, a small time lawyer from Chittoor dreams of making it big. He decided to regain a compelling case and to hire the best lawyers in the country. Sapthagiri's life and justice will always be the same.
The movie review: A young man Rohit from a very influential family, in a drunken state, runs on six beggars sleeping on the sidewalk in his limousine. Sai Kumar, a day's "lawyer, was exempt from all costs by Rohit. However, a small lawyer longs for successful public interest litigation (PIL) claiming that justice has not yet been completed. Case reopening, Sapthagiri is bringing opponents and those from Unbeaten test, in which he succumbs to the temptation of money to win the wrath of those who support him and trust him. There is an epiphanial moment when he decides to be true to himself instead of subverting justice. Court battle, a war of justice and evil, and a strong and docile war .David eventually defeated Goliath, has become the key to the story.
Sapthagiri LLB is a remake of the Bollywood blockbuster LLB that remains more or less true original. The difference is the representation of lead characters. Without disturbing plot, director Charan Lakkaakula has inserted a sequence of combat songs (filmed in a foreign land) to characterize the dominant heroes. A mature script, he made some adjustments to the story in order to adapt to the birth factor but the goal is clear: the establishment of a commercial hero ala Suneil Tollywood comedian.
The high-volume comedies that come to theaters, because of their leadership role, are disappointed and not much scope, though Shakalaka Shankar was a few laughs in the first half. It's a decent job to do, but the performer is obviously the judge played by Sai Kumar and Shiva Prasad. It is not an easy job for these characters to portray and steer their shoes from the original Bomman Irani and Saurabh Shukla. But Sai Kumar and Shiva Prasad have done a great job. Vohra, did not play a substantial role, and Gollapudi Maruti Rao and LB Sriram were impressed at the scene.

Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN has reported that the Toronto Raptors have fired head coach Dwane Casey. The move comes after the Raptors were swept in the second round of the playoffs by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Toronto has fired coach Dwane Casey, league source tells ESPN.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) May 11, 2018
Report: Toronto Raptors Fire Head Coach Dwane Casey
Casey had been leading the Raptors since 2011. The franchise went to new heights during his tenure, having three 50-win seasons and an Eastern Conference Finals appearance in the 2016 season. 59 wins this past season was a franchise high and the Raptors were able to secure the no. 1 seed. But after being eliminated by the Cavs for the third consecutive year with two of the series resulting in a sweep, the organization felt the change was needed. Would this be the first time a coach is fired the same year they win Coach of the Year? The NBA Awards are in June and Casey is a possibility to win the award.
The Business Side
Moves like this show just how tough the business side of the NBA can be at times. Not even a franchise high in wins can help job security. It was felt this was the year the Raptors would finally get over the hump and potentially reach the NBA Finals and dethrone LeBron James' Eastern Conference reign for the past seven years.
Casey pulled out all the tricks he could in order to give the Raptors a chance. He had his stars DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry buy into a new offensive system that relied heavily on ball and player movement. Putting trust in a bench filled with rookies and second-year players was another move made by Casey. All of it seemed to be coming to fruition during the regular season.
Going Forward
It will be interesting to see what direction the Raptors go in. Could this be the first move of many for the organization as they decide to blow it up? Time will only tell. For the coaching position, look for them to possibly stay in-house and pick Jerry Stackhouse as the new man. He has been coaching the Raptors G-League Affiliate, Raptors 905, and has been in contention for other head coaching positions.

Keep On Keepin On
I'm having a moment. I need to get something off my chest. Yes, I may be taking something personally, but this is my blog and I can do that. And seeing as though I haven't posted in almost a month, I might as well with enthusiasm. Just a little background: I put out an EP (6 songs) vs an LP (full album) almost a year ago. The same month I did so, I thought to myself "I will not be a starving artist." and essentially got a full-time (at the time) job, almost the same week. I am not making excuses when i say that I didn't have the time to hustle the music. I am being honest when I … Read More
Recording Existence
I've been journaling since I was 12. I do vaguely recall a gift years prior of a proper 'diary' : dark leather, gold embossed, with a lock and tiny accompanying key. When I was gifted it, I was too young: to stay with one thought, to have a worthy secret, to have anything genuinely interesting to say. Is it hormones that first lend to privacy? Probably, yes. We are the only animals which can stay attached to a memory. But why do we choose to keep them? Some of us hoard every ticket stub and momento, awards, certificates, cards…then there are those that live out of a backpack. We now have the capability to store our DNA, our daily workouts, … Read More

I woke this morning and promised myself if I made it through my entire to-do list, I would treat myself to a glass of champagne. I write this post from the other side of halfway through the second. Throw a girl a bone. I am always honest. There are a lot of things i dislike in my mind, but on the other side of having accomplished them, I'm excited. I try to remind myself of this when I start over-thinking. Like writing this blogpost, … Read More
Time Is on Your Side
We made it. Passed the holidays, all our pieces are still in tact. The new year, the perception of a fresh start, as it actually just slides into another… Time is speeding up. Have you noticed? No, it really is. But here's the best part, the time between what you want and when you will get it is also shorter now, so there's that. You must act on it, no waiting around. And I have been spending time and waiting. Since Sunday, I believe my body has been physically glued to my bed with illness: no reading, no Netflix, no nothin! There have been moments of mental conception and new creation inside of this fatigue, and my own path has … Read More

About City Year
City Year was founded in 1988 on the belief that young people can change the world. City Year is an education focused, nonprofit organization that unites young people of all backgrounds for a year of full-time service aimed at keeping students in school and on track to graduation. At City Year's 29 urban locations across the United States and two international affiliates, teams of trained young people called AmeriCorps members serve full-time in schools during the academic year as tutors, mentors and role models.

So last Friday the season two opener, "Scattered" aired on Sci-Fi in the US for Battlestar Galactica. I thought it was pretty good. There are 20 episodes planned for season two versus the 13 that made up the first season.
If this episode is any indication they are going to take their time telling the story. Now that can be bad if it gets too slow but it isn't like they are rushing it, they have plenty of time and they are going to use it to tell one hell of a story. I mean Lost has been doing that and it has worked extremely well, it had over 20 episodes in their first season and the people have only been on the island for like two months. But back to BSG, the episode definetly ended well and I can't wait to see the next episode. They also opened up some back story stuff between the CO and the XO that they will hopefully talk about later.
In case you don't know, BSG airs on the Sci-Fi channel on Fridays at 10PM so make sure you set up your DVR to record it.

Xanthorrhoea australis
(High rise apartments!)
Cydelia Conservation Reserve is a 160 hectare block of bushland near Wartook, in the northern Grampians. The block is south facing. The southern part is relatively flat, and the northern part rises up into the foothills of The Spur. The steeper parts are mainly covered with fairly open heathy woodland and stringy bark forest, while there are a large areas of red gum and yellow box grassy woodland in the south.
There is also a small area of sedgy riparian woodland. The west, north and east boundaries are bounded by the Grampians National Park, and there are hobby farms on the south boundary.
These photos were taken in November 2005, during the initial inspection, when the vegetation was still relatively lush.
The block has recovered somewhat now (2012), but in the recent drought years the 'endangered native grassland' consisted of a bare paddock, paved with kangaroo droppings.

Claire stood before me shaking, tears streaming down her face as she screamed, "He touched me, and I didn't want him to! I was 13 years old! He told me he loved me, that he would never hurt me, but he touched me when I didn't want him to. 'It's not sex,' he said. 'Relax,' he said. I just lay there and cried. It was awful, Mom! On the dock, late at night. I didn't know what to do."
I sat there, still. Tears filling my eyes, while question crashed through every corner of my mind. Where was I? When was this? How could this have happened? Why wasn't I paying closer attention? What should I say? What could I say that would make this hurt go away?
Claire continued between sobs, snot running from her already red nose, blotches gathering on her smooth, clear skin. I was dumbstruck. "Finally, he finished and I went home. I saw you that night. You asked me about being out so late. I said I was fine and you believed me!"
Why wouldn't I believe her? She and Tim had been inseparable since she was nine years old. He worshipped her and she seemed to worship him right back. I truly believed that he would lay down his life for Claire. Why on earth would I think that he could hurt her? I tried, in vain, to muster a response, but I had nothing. Nothing but shock, denial, and guilt. How could I have let this happen?
