The Arts: Shut your eyes and think of the Restoration Theatre
By John Gross
Peter Hall's production of The Master Builder, at the Theatre Royal,
Haymarket, is thoughtful, energetic and, for the most part, compelling.
Above all - the first test for any production of the play - it enables us to
suspend out disbelief. Swept along by the action, we remain untroubled by
Ibsen's peculiar compound of symbolism and naturalism, domestic tragedy and
transcendent myth. Master builder Solness is in many respects a small man -
a mean man, even, especially in his treatment of his employees. But in order
for his story to make dramatic sense, we have to accept that he is also a
big man - a Promethean figure who has challenged the gods, a creator who has
been prepared to destroy anything that stands in his path. A master by
nature as well as name, in fact; but a guilt-ridden master, and one whose
hour is passing. Alan Bates plays him as a man divided against himself -
sometimes abstracted, sometimes abrupt. He is more successful at conveying
inner torments than heroic stature, but you never doubt his capacity for
ruthlessness; and if Hilde Wangel's hold over him isn't as overtly sexual as
it is in some productions, you feel the inevitability of his surrender none
the less. It's her youth and her unexpectedness that hypnotise him. Sex is
only part of it. Victoria Hamilton's Hilde confirms the promise that she
showed when she made her debut earlier this year. At the literal level she
can, quite rightly, be exasperating. She bursts on the scene like a New Age
traveller; she waves manically after Solness's fatal fall like a fan whose
team has scored a goal. But she is more than just "impossible". She
persuades you that she really is an angel of death. The third main
performance is equally fine. Solness's wife is often portrayed as a mere
walking corpse, but Gemma Jones beautifully conveys the life that is still
in her, the anger and anguish stirring under her frozen sense of duty. In
doing so, she restores a whole dimension to the play, which can easily be
The Almeida Theatre is currently presenting Thomas Otway's
Restoration tragedy Venice Preserved. It is an imperfect production of an
imperfect play, but it still makes for an unusually interesting evening. I
hope to return to it next week.

Patient commentary: social media provides patients with support, information, and friendshipBMJ 2015; 350 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.h256 (Published 10 February 2015) Cite this as: BMJ 2015;350:h256
When I was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus 32 years ago, aged 15, social media did not exist. After months of diagnostic tests, I was happy to find out that my condition had a name. Six months after diagnosis, I attended my first lupus support group, where the topic for discussion was funeral planning. Questions posed included "what prayers and flowers do you want?"
For me dying was not an option. My mother and I looked at all the treatment options. We told the doctor that I was going to be a long term lupus survivor. My doctor took my mother aside and suggested that was unlikely. Shortly afterwards I found a different rheumatologist. Patients have the right to change doctors, and I did.
My new doctor had a good understanding of the spectrum of illness that lupus can cause. He also knew that when he suggested any change to my treatment that my mother would say, "If your daughter had lupus, would you give this medication to her?" Our doctor-patient relationship lasted 30 years and was one of mutual respect.
When he retired I used social media to find a new rheumatologist and an internist open to respecting patients' views and exploring alternative therapies as well as conventional medical treatments. Social media not only enabled me to find new doctors. It was also the way I met Tiffany Peterson. Only 48 days after she had lupus diagnosed, Tiffany searched "lupus" on Twitter, and my Twitter profile (@LAlupusLady) appeared. Soon, we were sharing the latest research and our excitement when the first drug specifically designed for lupus was approved by the FDA, and supporting each other through disease "flares." Having had the disease for many years, I was able to offer her the insight and support that her doctors and other healthcare professionals simply could not.
In 2011, I spoke at the #140 "State of Now" conference in New York (where speakers share stories on how Twitter has changed their world ) on "Lupus Awareness is fun, Lupus is not." It was there that I met and hugged Tiffany in person for the first time. A lifetime friendship had started. We are "lupie sisters." Lupus may have brought us together, but it's our passion for sharing and supporting lupus awareness that has made us friends.
As patients, we realise that many health professionals have yet to embrace the powerful tools that Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and other social media platforms have created. Most doctor's offices are busy, understaffed, and view social media as a distraction. If only they took a moment to realise the benefit of offering a "patient portal" or posting a monthly blog. Supporting patients with information online would result in healthier patients and could reduce their workload.

Smokestack Lightnin' Home Page --
The Blues Profile Page
"Mississippi fife master Otha Turner died on Wednesday.
He was 94."
"Renowned for his picnic parties, Mr. Turner - who played a homemade
bamboo cane fife or wooden flute and spent much of his life as a
sharecropper and subsistence farmer - was a living link to rural blues
and fife-and-drum pre-blues that extended well into the 19th Century."
"His music was recently featured in Martin Scorsese's Academy
Award-nominated film Gangs of New York."
Otha Turner was born in 1907 to Hollis and Betty Turner, both
sharecroppers, in Jackson County, Mississippi.
Turner's father left town shortly after he was born, leaving his mother
to raise him and his siblings alone. He grew up helping his mother in
the fields, and was often put in charge of taking care of the rest of
his family. His life of hard work began early, chopping cotton and
plowing the fields as a young boy.
Turner demonstrated an unusual musical ability as a teenager. He started
playing on the tin tub when he was 15 years old and began playing the
drums at the age of 17. He also taught himself how to make and play a
fife during these years.
Turner got his start as a performer by playing the fife and drums at
local picnic celebrations. Money he raised playing at these gatherings
enabled him to buy the farm where he still lives in the Gravel Springs
Community outside Como, Mississippi (pop. 789) and where he and his wife
Ada "Moochie" Turner raised four children.
At 94 years old, Turner was the oldest (and perhaps only) living
African-American fife player in America. He was also the leader of the
Rising Star Fife and Drum Corps, the only Mississippi fife and drum
corps band left in America. Today, this small band consists of his
daughter, Bernice, his grandsons, his granddaughter, and his nephew.
Until the day he died, he still farmed, raised horses, hogs, cattle,
watermelon, black-eyed peas, corn, etc. He hosted an annual Labor Day
picnic featuring barbecued goat, barbecued pork, blues, and most
importantly, fife and drum music.
On most any summer afternoon, visitors could have received a private
backyard performance by Turner and his band, as well as a lesson in fife
making. Mr. Turner first found cane growing wild in the "bottom land" of
his farm. He then cut the cane into pieces. Next, using a hot poker,
Turner burned holes into cane, creating the finished fife.
Turner's unique style of fife and drum music has received national
accolades and awards, including a National Endowment for the Arts
Heritage award, the Smithsonian Lifetime Achievement Award, and the
Charlie Patton Lifetime Achievement Award from the Mississippi Delta
Blues and Heritage Festival. The Rising Star Fife and Drum Band has
become a staple at several blues festivals including the New Orleans
Jazz & Heritage Festival, the Mississippi Delta Blues and Heritage
Festival, the Sunflower River Blues and Gospel Festival, and opening
each day of the annual Chicago Blues Festival. He was perhaps proudest
of his recent performance at Nashville's legendary Ryman Auditorium,
where he, his band, family and friends recreated a rural Mississippi
"picnic" on the stage and received more than one standing ovation.
He has been featured on ABC's "Good Morning America" and NPR's "All
Things Considered"; in The New York Times, The Oxford American, Blues
Access, Living Blues; Billboard Magazine; and the French magazine
His recently released first CD – at the tender age of 90 – "Everybody's
Hollerin' Goat" on Birdman records was recently named one of the top
five blues albums of the decade by Rolling Stone magazine.

"I've had the pleasure of working with Malaika on several occasions and each time I've felt honoured to share the bill with them. Malaika's music and especially their harmonies are rich, inventive and inspirational. I would be happy to recommend them to anybody who is interested in good music."
- Stephen Fearing, performer, Guelph
"When I first heard Malaika sing, I was moved to document their strength in voice. I could tell immediately that they were women worth listening to, musically and otherwise. Malaika are strong, beautiful women with a rare gift to move audiences to tears as their cheeks ache with laughter."
- Tracy Bacenas, film maker, Affinity Productions, Ottawa
"What a delightful blend of sophisticated musicality, wonderful and distinct vocal qualities, and quirky, sincere stage presence and delivery this group has! The repertoire was surprisingly fresh, with a balanced blend of original and traditional a capella and world beat musics. These four women were enthusiastic and committed to their music and their audience. They created joy and faith wherever they appeared that weekend."
- Andy Rush, founder and director, Community in Song, and director,
Blue Skies Festival Choir, Belleville
"Real performers - four women, four voices, with a show ranging from the the quietly introspective to the playfully erotic. I liked them."
- Dean Verger, owner, Rasputin's Café, Ottawa
"Winnipeg Folk Festival-goers sat basking in the light as they listened to the harmonious sounds of the exquisite four-woman vocal group Malaika... Malaika set the crowd alight with its impressive mix of harmonies and solo turns. Singing songs of protest and spirituality from around the world, they were called back for the evening's first encore."
- John Kendle, The Winnipeg Sun, July 12/96
"Malaika ripped the roof off the joint at the recent Panny Lang launch with a spirited set of gospel, traditional African songs sung in Swahili and Xhosa, and original material, all of which swung mightily."
Mary Lamey, The Gazette, Montreal, June 15/96
"In Swahili, Malaika means "angel", but when you listen to these four heavenly voices, you'll figure that out on your own. Singing in Swahili, French, or English, this four-woman a cappella group from Ottawa is phenomenonally good."
- Carl Witchel, Hour, Montreal, May 30/96
"They have a very full sound and are much more approachable than Zap Mama, and more fun than Sweet Honey."
- Paul Sinasohn, CASA Arrangement Librairian, Oakland,CA
"I should be asking you for your autograph!"
- Peter Jennings, Good Morning America, ABC TV
"These wonderful women can sing in more languages than a U.N. Translator and in more styles than a karaoke machine. Not to be missed!
- Deke Sharon, President and Founder, Contempory A Cappella Society

I am an intellectual historian currently employed as a UQ Research Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Queensland, Australia. I am both a Canadian and British citizen who has studied at the University of Toronto, University of Oxford, and the Warburg Institute in London. This international experience has helped me to cultivate excellence in research and teaching.
Quality research and quality teaching are not independent of one another. The best of both derives not from their separation, but rather from an understanding of the many ways in which they can be mutually reinforcing. Bringing research into the classroom enables scholars to view their work in terms of a dialogue, which promotes forward-thinking beyond the academy and inspires students to see how they might contribute to the public good. A passion for research and a passion for teaching are pillars of success in humanities higher education.
My research focusses on the history of science, religion and politics in Early Modern and Enlightenment Britain. This has filtered done to questions of science, faith, and facticity, as well as the place of religion in the emergence of modern society.
I have cultivated a diverse teaching portfolio at the undergraduate and graduate levels through my experience of designing, revising and teaching in both British and Australian universities.
Learning is not just for the classroom. Research and teaching in the should speak to the public. Whether through social media or traditional methods of public history, communication is central to academic duty.

Here in Vallecito dreams have always been big… so has the Irish influence.
First to hit the area were the Murphy boys back in 1849. John and Daniel came looking for gold and found it One hundred and fifty years later we discovered it here too. I am Russell Irish of Irish Vineyards. Our gold comes in liquid form, and unlike those 19th century mining Murphys we are delighted to share our riches with everyone.
A renegade spirit pulses through our award winning wines. Making wine since before he was old enough to drink it Russell's dedication is discernible through every sip. Never losing the integrity of the wine he always pushes the limits of viticulture. With both estate grown grapes and those grown to our specifications he has created such mouth welcoming joys as Alacant Bouchet and Chenin Blanc.
We also guarantee you will taste much more. Whatever the varietals from our Petite Sirah to the Pog Mo Thoin our sense of fun and family permeates in each bottle. For us there is no snob appeal in our wines. Instead we think of them as elixirs to the good life. The wines from Irish Vineyards add a fluid celebration to any occasion.
Come share the wealth with us! Join us to experience the finest in Calaveras Wines.
Check out our tasting rooms in downtown Murphys (263 Main Street next to Taste of Robs) AND Vallecito (2849 Highway 4).

William Butler Yeats
So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.

Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.

Douglas Everett
I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
I have heard it said that the first ingredient to success – the earlist spark in the dreaming youth – is this: dream a great dream.
John Alan Appleman
For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.
Charles De Gaulle
Dreams are like the paints of a great artist. Your dreams are your paints, the world is your canvas. Believing, is the brush that converts your dreams into a masterpiece of reality.

The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.
Paul Lavery
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Mark Twain
There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.
Paulo Coelho
My dreams are my dress rehearsals for my future.
David Copperfield
Do not lose hold of your dreams or aspirations. For if you do, you may still exist but you have ceased to live.
Henry David Thoreau
A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.
Colin Powell
Dreams are free, so free your dreams.
Astrid Alauda
We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.
Woodrow Wilson

Training at Porters
On Friday I headed down to Porters to check it out for the race this Saturday. I must say I like Porters. The staff are friendly to backcountry types like me, and there are lots of families enjoying the t bars that extend to the top of the mountain. The thing I tend to forget about the place is that its quite steep! That should make this first race a bit of a slog.The good news is we have a storm forecast to bring some snow this week, so (hopefully) it won't be too icy. Here are a couple of photos of the place. The t bar and the views.

Colin Delfosse has everything to become a legend. He's not well known in Flanders but that is a mistake that should be rectified asap. He's the real deal. I met him in Brussels, he wanted to know what we (the SNOR editors) thought of his work. 'Fucking brilliant!' was our answer and I've been following his career ever since. Specializing in the dangerous parts of Africa, he shows us a world that is beautiful and terrifying at the same time.
His first book Toute arme forgée contre moi sera sans effet touches on Congolese wrestlers, it's published by Editions 77.

Pauly Shore remains one of the greatest comedians of his generation. Shore was severely underappreciated in his time and practically all of his work received negative reviews, but one day audiences will realize the craft Shore put into his work, not too unlike Buster Keaton. During the 90s, the prolific comic genius produced some of the funniest films ever in cinema history, such as the misunderstood masterpiece Jury Duty. Shore's greatest film though remains In The Army Now, a magnificent picture that rivals the best of Chaplin.
In The Army Now stars Shore as Bones Conaway, a slacker clerk who is fired from his job along with his friend Jack (Andy Dick). The two decide to join the army, believing it to be an easy way to make a living. Unfortunately for the duo, they have to endure basic training from a severe female drill sergeant as well as serving on a water purification team in Libya. From there on out, In The Army turns into a rapid-fire satire of the U. S. army, mocking traditional military stereotypes and clichés.
What makes In The Army such a clever comedy is Shore himself. The comedian is fearless in his role as Bones and is committed to making the audience laugh. Andy Dick is the straight man of the two main characters, whose job is to react to reality. The chemistry between Bones and Jack is the core of the picture and far stronger than anything Woody Allen or Wes Anderson has done.
A wonderful and severely underrated comedy full of wit and humor, In The Army Now is a classic meant to be seen by all. Few comedians posses Shore's talent, and it's a shame that he continues to be overlooked.
Editor's Note: Stunned? Amazed? Well, this isn't a real review. This is an entry for Nostra's 5 Obstructions Blogathon, where bloggers write either a negative review of a movie they love or the contrary. I chose the latter, meaning that I do not actually like In The Army Now. It is a dreadful movie, one of the worst comedies you will ever see. I just attempted to write an Armond White-style review. So please stop writing that profanity filled comment.

This is just a quick sketch I did of Ethan one day while we were up at Mount Tom for an afternoon. Esme and I brought our art supplies and Ethan serenaded us for awhile. For years I've been talking about making some album art for him and I told him this will be my first one - plenty of room for the title and easily printed.

Carter Oosterhouse has a new show coming soon to the FYI Network, and it's all about his tips and tricks on bringing the outdoors into your home or office. We rounded up five cool ways to bring some life to your living room!
1. Teacup Gardens This is an easy way to display a fun teacup or mug, and bring succulents into almost any space.
2. Hide your plant pots Pictured here is a canvas bucket covering the large planter, you could just as easily do this with burlap and some twine.
3. Create a Mason Jar herb garden We hate buying a bunch of fresh herbs at the store only to have them wilt before we can use them. Instead, grow your favorites right in your kitchen! All you need is an old plank, pipe clamps, and a few mason jars, as well as a bit of DIY know how.
4. Add fruit to your vase First find an inner vase that fits inside the outer one. Fill the outer with water until it is mostly full, and then place sliced lemons (or limes) in between the two. Place your flowers in the inner vase and you have an easy, beautiful display!
5. Make drying flowers into a display Tie the ends of a bouquet or wreath you want to save with ribbon and hang them upside down from a picture frame or with a nail in a spot that needs brightening.
Make sure you check out Carter's show when it airs for even more tips and tricks!

As usual, there will be numerous activities prepared and a special program from everyone each day including:
For more information: www.marbella.es
On the 9th October, the Cudeca Cancer Care Hospice, received a visit from 14 members of Costa Women with the objective of presenting their charity book in aid of our Special Kind of Caring.
The book, "Diversity Meets Creativity", is made up of stories, thoughts, images and pictures and is on sale online as an e-book from Amazon.co.uk for £2.93 as well as a paperback version for 7,99€. Proceeds raised from the sale of this book will be for the sole benefit of Cudeca.
The group of ladies, who were also contributors to the book, were taken for a tour around the Hospice Centre and had the opportunity to see how the different areas of the Hospice are run. They were accompanied by Maria Jesus de la Ossa, Coordinator of the Home Care Teams; Rocío Torres, Manager of Communications and Fundraising and Marisa Ballestracci, Tin Coordinator. They were shown the work carried out daily by each person within the care teams, doctors, nurses, physiotherapist, psychologists and social workers.
The ladies showed warm recognition to the social work carried out by the Cudeca staff and volunteers, who every year help more than 800 patients with advanced and non-curable illnesses, and provide support to their families, totally free of charge.
Cudeca Cancer Care Hospice gives heartfelt thanks for the support and solidarity given by Costa Women.
For more information on the e-book or paperback copy, please visit the Costa Women website at www.costawomen.ning.com or visit one of the Cudeca shops, or the Centre in Benalmadena.
Estepona may be a tad far when you're aiming for some beauty treatments but I tell you, visiting Bliss Hair and Beauty Salon for a much needed pampering is all worth the trip.
Located beside the five star Hotel Las Dunas, Bliss is a unisex boutique salon that offers exquisite personal service to its clienteles . A sanctuary of peace away from the madness of Puerto Banus and Marbella, the salon exudes uptown elegance and a little bit of Zen with its neutral colour scheme and cozy little nooks for different treatments.
Now on its ninth year, Bliss is owned and managed by Lance Kearley and wife Jules, both award winners in their fields. Lance has over 25 year experience in hairdressing and ran his own salon for 15 years. A Midlands L'Oreal hair colour trophy winner, he trained in the UK with Wella, L'Oreal and Vidal Sassoon and had a long list of celebrity clients to boot. Jules, on the other hand, has over 15 years of experience and a winner of prestigious national award for beauty therapy in the UK. She has worked in the famous 5-star Ragdale Hall health spa and specializes in Caci and Guinot micro current facial treatments and Dermalogica facials.
In addition to the couple, Bliss also boasts seven friendly and professional staff members all specializing their fields of expertise.
Having tried Bliss for myself last week, I was particularly enamored with their Zen Spa pedicure--a delight of foot exfoliation, massage and pedicure while sitting on a relaxing massage chair. Highly recommendable especially to anyone who goes to the office everyday being slave to their stilettos.
A very popular treatment in the salon is the Brazilian Keratin Treatment by Keratin Revolution, a non-formaldehyde treatment which leaves your hair straight, shiny, sleek and more important, healthy. And you should try their facial treatments as well! Their Guinot and Dermalogica treatments work almost like a miracle to the skin---reason why clients from as far as Marbella and Gibraltar visit them regularly. After a 40-minute facial session in their "Zen" space, I swear I looked radiant.
Bliss is a boutique salon without the high boutique price. In fact, you can take advantage of their current offers like the "2 Bliss Zen Spa Pedicure" where you and your friend can have a spa pedicure for only €60 (normally €42 per person) or their 3 for 2 facial treatments where you can book two sessions and get one for free. They also retail the widely popular brand, Moroccan Oil, the biggest buzzword in the beauty world, as well as Guinot professional beauty products from Paris.
Hairdressing expertise, luxurious treatments, friendly staff and a cozy boutique atmosphere---yes, that's beauty with Bliss.

(The following contains language that may well be considered offensive. This post is an attempt to make clear what was written in past Ron Paul newsletters. More information can be found here)
In that same Federalist Paper, Madison wrote:
Instead of being analogous to the power of declaring war (the president's power as commander in chief) affords a striking illustration of the incompatibility of the two powers in the same hand. Those who are to conduct a war cannot, in the nature of things, be proper or safe judges, whether a war ought to be commenced, continued or concluded. They are barred from the latter functions by a great principle in free government, analogous to that which separates the sword from the purse, or the power of executing from the power of enacting laws.
Jews and Christians Against a Mideast War
I was please to facilitate, and to sign, an ad that ran on the op-ed page of the New York Times last month. It denounced the smear of anti-Semitism used on war opponents, and noted that "America can only be harmed by this war. Our kids killed, our liberties suppressed, our taxes raised, the government engorged, the recession deepened, our constitution shredded." It urged those "salivating for war" to "buy rifles and parachute into Baghdad. But not to kill our soldiers and wreck our economy." The promoters of the war want a "New World Order," said the ad. We believe in the "old American republic." Co-chairman of the new group are Burt Blumert of the Center for Libertarian Studies and Lew Rockwell of the Mises Institute. Other signers included: Professor Richard M. Ebeling of Hillsdale College, Professor Paul Gottfried of Elizabethtown College, Professor Edward Kaplan of Western Washington University, Dr. Gary North of Remnant Review, entrepreneur James Rodney, and Professor Murray N. Rothbard of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

David Duke received 44% of the vote in the Senate primary race. In Louisiana, 60% of the white vote, and 9% of the black vote! This totaled 100,000 more votes than the current governor when he won.
Duke lost the election, but he scared the blazes out of the Establishment. If the official Republican hadn't been ordered to drop out, he might have won. Certainly there would have been a run-off.
Duke's platform called for tax cuts, no quotas, no affirmative action, no welfare, and no busing. "Tonight, we concede the election," he said. "But we will never concede out fight for equal rights for all Americans."
To many voters, this seems like just plain good sense. Duke carried baggage from his past, but the voters were willing to overlook that. And if he had been afforded the forgiveness an ex-communist gets, he might have won.
Liberals like Richard Cohen of the Washington Post say he got so many votes because Louisianians were racists and ignorant. Baloney.
David Broder, also of the Post and equally liberal, writing on an entirely different subject, had it right: "No one wants to talk about [race] publicly, but if you ask any campaign consultant or pollster privately, you can confirm the sad reality that a great many working-class and middle-class white Americans are far less hostile to the rich and their tax breaks than they are to the poor and minorities with their welfare and affirmative-action programs."
Liberals are notoriously blind to the sociological effects of their own programs. David Duke was hurt by this past. How many more Dukes are there waiting in the wings without such a taint?
More Federal Spying
On September 1, a federal data bank for tracking physicians, dentists, and other health-care professionals began operating at a cost of $16 billion. It will accumulate data on 50,000 providers in the first year. When a doctor is sued, his name is put on a blacklist. Since 80% of the OB-GYN doctors are sued, many innocent physicians will be blacklisted wrongly.
This program is designed to monitor physicians, but it will spread to all professions and businesses. If it is right for physicians, why not for attorneys, business people, and everyone else?
Liberal Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) recently pointed out that Jack Kemp's 27-person public affairs office is spending its time on Kemp's next campaign instead of HUD.
Mikulski, chairman of the appropriations subcommittee that oversees HUD, deleted the funding to cries of anguish from Kemp. Undoubtedly it will be restored, but I still enjoyed the whole thing.

In 1857, Tom Willis returned to Australia and became one of the founders of arguably the most illustrious sport to ever grace the country. After becoming a seasoned rugby captain as well as a formidable cricketer during his school years, Willis got together with his cousin H.C.A Harrison and their associates J.B Thompson and W.J Hammersley to formulate the rules. What followed this momentous date included over 155 years of action packed and unforgettable sport.
AFL has today grown into an international phenomenon, with television deals helping finance both the clubs and the league, advertising deals with shirt sponsors as well as merchandising sold in ALF shops making up huge revenue. Audience figures have steadily risen over the past 20 years making the AFL league today unrecognisable from its very early beginnings.
On the 10th of July 1858, Melbourne Football Club was formed and soon had their first match against Scotch College in Yarra park. The two teams were joined by Geelong Football Club in 1859 and soon saw the arrivals of Adelaide F.C and Carlton Football Club joining the ranks. The sport was incredibly popular for a somewhat newly invented sport, but due to the rules and regulations, the spectacle of seeing a mix of different sports in a single area was hard to resist.
Times of important rule changes
In 1886, the four quarters where introduced to take over the game of two halves that was previously played. This year also saw important changes in the rules to allow a centre bounce at the start of each game, each quarter and after a goal had been scored. Other important additions to the rules were brought in such as the addition of goal and boundary umpires and their ability to report players, the official sanctioning of player payments and further advancements.
The modern era
With a new lease of life during the millennium, teams were able to move away from their smaller venue for league matches allowing for a huge increase in audience numbers. Waverley Park and the MCG in Melbourne were used to delight capacity crowds and further boost attendance revenue income for both the league and teams.
In recent times, Geelong has come to dominate many seasons over the past few years contesting four grand finals and winning three of them gaining much acclaim. Hawthorn and Collingwood have also seen success in contesting three and winning two finals and contesting two and winning one final respectively.
The sport continues to gain ever larger audiences, with access to ALF online matches as well as television rights for audiences to watch at home. This growth has also seen an increase in merchandising, seeing AFL stores selling out of popular shirts as soon as they are stocked making it one of the most popular sports in Australian history.

State quarter-final Puma Trophy
The Bellingen High School open girls football team had to travel to Sydney to play in the state quarter-final of the Puma Trophy against Burwood Girls HS.
The girls travelled down on Thursday August 2 and stayed over night ready to play the next morning at the field at 10am. Upon arriving at the field it was a bit of an eye opener as many things were different including the fact that there was no technical area and no team bench. We found a park bench, which served the purpose. The opposing team sat with their supporters, coaches and everyone else some 20-30m from half way.
It was also with great surprise that one of our players was denied the right to play due to a mistaken understanding of the rules by the referee.
The game started and the Bellingen girls took a while to settle making some uncharacteristic mistakes allowing Burwood to put pressure on our goal. The defence, however, stayed strong and denied Burwood from scoring. However once the nerves settled the girls started putting their passing game together and Sophie Boyd was put into a bit of space with a pass by Willow Neal and made no mistake finishing. This put us in front 1-0.
It is worthwhile mentioning that the Burwood captain Tori Tumeth has already represented Australia in International games and is one of the Emerging Matildas. Sophie Boyd was given the job of marking Tori. Tori referred to Sophie as her shadow, and she was not impressed by Sophie's dogged defence. Needless to say Sophie did an amazing job.
Unfortunately it was Burwood who scored next goal while key defender Emily Ruming was on the bench. This put the half time score to 1-1. The second half was a fairly torrid battle with both teams setting up opportunities to score without capitalising. Another Burwood player was injured and while the coach was on the field, three of the Burwood players left the field to have a drink and chat with friends. This would be a yellow card offence in our neck of the woods. Amazingly it was fine with the referees.
Full time came with the score still at 1-1. This put the game in to sudden death extra time. Again both teams had opportunities to score, however, it was Burwood who finally scored after nine minutes following some sustained pressure on the goal. The game was a close game and could have gone either way but it was not Bellingen's game today.
The coach was more than happy with the girl's display of determination and skill. Players of the match went to Tallara Doye in goals who was amazing and Sophie Boyd (aka The Shadow) who came out on top of her opponent! Special mention must be made for two girls who have now played their last game for Bellingen HS. Jordan Healy and Hannah Watt have played football for the high school for six years and have been the backbone of this team throughout this campaign. They love the game and have been great leaders and role models throughout the years. Finally a special thank you to Greg McLeod from Bellingen, Dorrigo and Urunga Taxis for driving us down and back safely and looking after his 'family'. Also thanks to Paulline, Sandra and Lynette for their help and support during the trip.


text: Finally got some different wheels for my car - They're Bola B1's 8.5 x 19 ET40 front fitted with 255/35/19 and 10 x 19 ET 45 rears fitted with 285/30/19, Bridgestone Potenza's have been fitted all round. I was advised to go 245 and 275 with the tyres, but I'd previously seen a Brabus fitment running these specs... Anyway I get no scraping at all, but one thing I didn't allow for was the centre caps, they fit fine on the rear but the hub nut cover gets in the way to fit the fronts... I didn't want spacers so my way around this was to simply paint and lacquer the hub covers. I may look at lowering it in the future
