Recently my manager informed me that his Father had passed away. I just wanted him to know that i'm there for him if he needs me, so i posted him this card:
Both the stampsets used are hostess sets: so if you like them YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HOST A WORKSHOP!! (or make a big order!!!) The flowers are from the two -step stampset 'Fast and Fabulous' and the words are from 'Occasional Quotes'. I have used 'Bashful Blue' and 'Early Espresso' ink and the cardstock used is 'Bashful Blue' and 'Whisper White'. I finished off the card with some 'Early Espresso' 'Satin Ribbon'.
It's never easy to make a card like this, but i hope it reassures him that people are thinking of him and wish him well. xxx

Paul Elvstrom Is My Inspiration.
Paul Elvstrom was one of only three athletes to win four consecutive gold medals in the Olympic Games. He competed in eight olympic games representing the country of Denmark. Paul was awarded a gold medal in 1948 for sailing and for successfully achieving the stunt move called "The Tornado"
He inspires me because he has strived to succeed and has achieved his goal by competing in eight olympic games so he has shown me that you should never give up.

I have to agree with you on this Jay'Lee. Paul Elvstrom truly is inspirational. I don't know how a person can keep at the top of their sporting code for so long. As you say, it must come down to determination and perseverance.ReplyDelete

How We See: EK ONG KAAR KAUR
A Tale Of Conflicting Visions In Ferguson, Missouri
- Letters From Espanola
The last few months I have worked with a wonderful wholistic eye doctor who lives in the mountains north of Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA.
Dr. Sam Berne. He has an integrated approach to eyes. An approach that links the eyes with cognitive awareness.
"70% of our vision is connected to our brain," he says.
He uses different physical and cognitive techniques to help people with their vision problems. The health of the eyes and the capacity to "see" go hand in hand with the brain's ability to integrate information wholistically, across both hemispheres.
One of the most important lessons that I have learned during this process is that physical sight and cognitive vision are interrelated, and ultimately unique for every person. Because the brain interprets what the eyes see, we can only perceive what we have experienced. If an experience is missing, the mind cannot interpret information coming through the eyes in a certain way.
So rather than being objective, sight is profoundly subjective. I can only see what I know, what I have learned, and what I have lived through. The eyes and the brain have this singular relationship.
Sight has meaning in the context of vision. And vision is the way the mind puts together the sensory input of the eyes to make a picture and a story.
Over the last three months, as we have worked together, not only has my sight improved, but my sense of identity has shifted with it. This has surprised me. Part of my vision problems resulted from my suppressing feelings that I did not want to see. It created a palpable stress in the eyes. By releasing that stress through the various eye exercises, my sight has gotten better.
But those feelings have also become much more present in my awareness, changing the way I see myself, my life and my environments.
It has been a wonderful and profound journey, and I am grateful for it. But it has also given me a different perspective while watching events unfold in Ferguson, Missouri.
The news in the United States the last several weeks has documented the painful drama that unfolded in Ferguson. An unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown, was shot and killed by a white police officer, Darren Wilson. This event sparked racial protests and violence, especially when a grand jury failed to indict Officer Wilson on murder charges.
Many people have asked: why the protests? Why the violence?
In a lot of ways, it comes from the fact that nobody knew what happened. So everybody "saw" what was in their experience to see.
The black community in Ferguson "saw" a continued pattern of racial oppression. Where young black men are automatically suspect, even when they are innocent. Of white police officers habitually committing violence against their community. Where these police officers are not held accountable and justice never happens.
This is not sight in the physical sense. This is vision. The way the brain puts together information, and integrates it into a picture and a story. That vision created the outbursts, the protests and the violence in Ferguson.
On the other side, you have a police establishment governed by its own sense of rules and responsibility. Where officers can fire a weapon in self-defense if they feel threatened. Where police put their lives on the line every day against thieves and murderers and drug dealers.
And because the police are sworn to protect the community, the legal system protects them. Holds them to different standards, frankly, when it comes to people dying by their hand.
This, too, is not sight in the physical sense. This is also vision. The police have their own unique set of experiences.
People see what they have learned or what they know. No one sees beyond that.
In this sense, Ferguson illustrates how vision in different communities is so very different because the experience and the learning are so very different. No one knows for sure what happened between Michael Brown and Officer Wilson.
Who was right and who was wrong?
It does not really matter.
A young boy is dead and a police officer will be haunted by this tragic event the rest of his life. In many ways, how we see creates our reality. Not the other way around.
I think what happened in Ferguson is also happening in the Middle-East right now. It happened in Punjab in the 80's. It happens anywhere the vision of one community so deeply contradicts the vision of another community.
The problem is we have no mechanism to reconcile these deeply different visions. Instead, suppression becomes the answer. Just as my eyes created a physical pattern to block me from seeing feelings that made me uncomfortable; collectively, as communities, we suppress our sight from perceiving the experiences of others that may make us question our own values.
Silencing one another is the extreme tactic people pursue. And that is very rarely a fair fight. Almost always, one side has more gun power than the other, or more legal legitimacy than the other. Even if they do not have the moral or spiritual high ground.
If I fight you, then I do not have to listen to what you are saying. Because listening may change my experience, alter my brain and give me a different vision than what I have now. It takes courage to see something that may make you feel uncomfortable. It takes courage because discomfort is a sign that something needs to change.
That is the irony of sight. No one wants to feel something negative. And yet, those things that are difficult to see often hold the most promise of transformation and healing.
In these moments of intense conflict, the real question is this: Do we stay in our comfort zone and suppress each other's stories, so that we can stay safe in a familiar vision?
Or do we decide to step outside that comfort zone, stop the suppression and let something new come in? Something that will give us a new experience, a new learning, a new insight.
When the brain changes, the vision will change, and maybe, just maybe, we can build a new understanding that leads to different actions and different outcomes.
Hundreds of year ago, political change created social change. Eliminating the death grip 'royalty' had on lives and resources opened up political power to people of all persuasions.
That changed the world.
But today, politicians cannot really lead us into all the social changes that are necessary. It is people of consciousness who have to step up and create the dialogue where first discomfort and ultimately transformation can happen.
Politicians cannot do it.
But citizens can.
This is the level of work we need to do so that, one day, the Michael Browns and Officer Wilsons of the world will have a chance to make a different choice and write a different story.

Conversation about this article
1: Baldev Singh (Bradford, United Kingdom), December 04, 2014, 8:34 AM.
The problems in America -- as everywhere where humans live! -- with this sectarian and colour divide hinge on education that teaches that we must see the whole human race as one ... and not blacks, whites, browns, yellows, reds and pinks! We should see everyone as we want ourselves to be seen.
2: Ajit Singh Batra (Pennsville, New Jersey, USA..), December 04, 2014, 8:58 AM.
The brain or vision of the people is generally based on the political, social and the economic structures of society. However, the truth is that the whole humanity is one family. Every person must be respected not in terms of his/her birth which connects them to race, creed and caste, but as a Person. Yhe Sikh Gurus said all persons though appearing different under different influences, are the same. They wanted to solve all social, economic and political problems amongst human beings through equality. Therefore, socially no distinctions which cause resentment should ever be made between person and person. But then, people learn to misuse our freedoms and rights -- such as, for example, the liberty of expression -- and people acquire the knack to escape from or bypass the clutches of the law.
3: Parmjit Singh (Canada), December 04, 2014, 11:17 PM.
Amazing leadership and leadership imparted in this article. Wow! This should be required reading to shape young minds.
4: D J Singh (USA), December 05, 2014, 4:36 PM.
Excellent article. But what about the victim's family? Any insights regarding altering their vision or perception? Then only will the message in this article be complete!
5: Harmeet Singh (USA), December 06, 2014, 10:51 PM.
Cognitive vision can simply impair our physical sight.
6: Ek Ong Kaar Kaur (Espanola, New Mexico, USA), December 07, 2014, 3:30 PM.
DJ Singh - thanks for your comments and your question. In terms of the victim's family: this is a really deep issue - not just for this family but any family involved in this type of situation, where a beloved son or daughter, sister or brother, mother or father, has been killed. So my answer is two fold, in terms of vision. The first part is that grief has to happen. The grieving process absolutely must take place. Grief is our body's and mind's God-given mechanism to process loss. And when we do not allow ourselves to grieve, we can never integrate the loss. When we do not grieve, it has the opposite effect where we can never move on with our lives. Unresolved grief hangs out in the subconscious and can actually become the seed of future sickness or imbalances. So grieving is necessary and support for the family needs to be there without any judgement or agenda. The Guru tells us, and in fact almost all the major religions talk about, surrender to the Will of the Divine. For Christians, this takes the form of forgiveness. For Buddhists - compassion is their road. For the Sikh - "Thy Will is sweet," is our devotion and obedience. And so every sacred path has a way to help people transcend the pain of loss. But in my own experience, what is important is that surrender to the Divine Will is the ultimate resolution of the grieving process. It cannot replace the grieving process. When we use Divine Will as a way to stop ourselves or others from grieving, it creates lasting damage. But when we allow the grief to unfold through faith, it can eventually resolve our grief by harmonizing ourselves with Divine Will, which then takes us beyond ourselves and helps the cycle of pain to stop. There is a wonderful talk by Dr. Fred Luskin from Stanford University about this. He has taught about forgiveness for over 20 years, and recognizes the need for grieving to happen before forgiveness can take place. So that to me is the view for the families. Grieve first. Then find your way to how your own spiritual path talks about forgiveness or compassion or surrender to the Divine. Here is the link to the article. Hope it's helpful. http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/what_is_forgiveness

'you dont like pigeons?' no, i dont. i dont like birds at all. maybe it was because of that scary movie about birds. what was is called again? march of the penguins. i was frightened! they are only pretending they cant fly, they are just waiting for the right moment to attack. when birds are not attacking, all they do is tweet and poop. course, thanks to the twitter, its all i do now too. i admit, i used to like birds. when i was younger i had a cockatoo. i used relax by petting a cockatoo... actually i had budgies. its a type of bird, very popular in the old country, very similar to parakeets, but slightly smaller and they speak with a british accent. 'i say, polly would very much like a cracker. perhaps some tea would be nice too.' we had a lot of budgies in our house but for some reason they were all named joey. and much like the sitcom 'joey', none of them lived past a month! they come in two colors, either green or blue. we only ever had green budgies, we were a green budgie family. my mother used to say that families with blue budgies were snobs. 'aw, look at them with their blue budgies and their roof!' and when ever one of our budgies would die my mother would replace it with one that looked kind of similar and thought no one would notice. i would ask 'mom, is that a new budgie?'

There was blood everywhere. There was a bloody knife sitting carelessly on the windowsill. If someone disagreed with his comments last week they just had to say. Not lash out in a vicious attack like this. Mrs White bless her heart doesn't give her address out to anyone, just us select few in her writing group. She's an old feminist woman with an old Tudor style mansion. I was the first here. Or so I thought. I heard a screech from the conservatory so I made my way in to be greeted with the sight of Mr Gardener's dead body. I told Mrs White to phone the police and about 15 minutes after she did the copper's showed up. Mr Potts sat next to me when we shuffled into the claustrophobic living room where we had been directed by the police. Mrs White has a beautiful way of taking a big room and filling it with furniture until it's on the brink of messy. I looked at the people surrounding me. Penelope (the only other girl other than me and Mrs White) wasn't here yet. She'll get a shock when she turns up! Mr Webb was looked a bit shifty, hardly surprising given the situation. Mrs White looked shocked and shamed, that something like this has happened in your house I can only imagine. Steve Talkett looked horrified, just utterly devastated. And then there was Mr Potts who was trying to start a little bit of small talk, obviously trying to ease the tension that had built up between us.

NASA Crawler Transporter
The crawler transporters are a pair of tracked vehicles used to transport spacecraft from NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) along the Crawlerway to Launch Complex 39. They were originally used to transport the Saturn IB and Saturn V rockets during the Apollo, Skylab and Apollo–Soyuz programs. They are currently used to transport the Space Shuttle. It is planned for them to carry the upcoming Ares I and Ares V rockets for the Constellation program as well. The crawler transporters carry vehicles on the Mobile Launcher Platform, and after each launch return to the pad to take the platform back to the VAB.
The crawler has 16 traction motors, powered by four 1,341 horsepower (1,000 kW) generators, in turn driven by two 2,750 horsepower (2,050 kW) Alco diesel engines. Two 1,006 horsepower (750 kW) generators, driven by two 1,065 horsepower (794 kW) engines, are used for jacking, steering, lighting, and ventilating. Two 201 horsepower (150 kW) generators are also available to power the Mobile Launcher Platform. The crawler's tanks hold 5,000 US gallons (19,000 l; 4,200 imp gal) of diesel fuel, and it burns 150 gal/mi (350 L/km).

My Psychosomatic Aunt Fanny, or Side Effects May Include…
Within two hours, I had developed itching, raised red dots on my belly and went home, too.
Except I wasn't really sick.
I'm a compassionate – if paranoid – person. I listen to troubled friends, I nod solemnly to the ranting of the wild-eyed, and I will develop a case of faux chicken pox with the merest suggestion.
I'm here for ya, baby.
I did not have the chicken pox that day (although I did cop a day off even after the doctor pronounced the itching red dots "hives"). I was concerned for my work mate, however; and, perhaps more importantly, I was concerned for myself; for while I've been vaccinated, as my friend Mary would say, "like a mo-fackey", I've yet to have even one childhood illness.
Some may call it "hysterical". I prefer to think of it as "empathetic".
The body, after all, speaks. Sometimes our legs feel leaden: our body says "don't go forward". Sometimes our mouths drop open, aghast: our body says "there's nothing to say".
I once almost had a gallbladder removed because of my speaking body.
The pain! The doctor pushed and palpated, scratched himself under the chin and proclaimed that while it didn't appear to be overly inflamed it was certainly behaving as if it should come out.
"So what's the downside to not having a gallbladder?" I asked.
"None really," he said. "And you won't have the pain any more. Of course, you won't be able to eat spicy foods…"
I stopped listening after that. A buzz had started up in my ears… No spicy foods? Wait. What? No spicy foods?
No. No, no, no.
I drove away thinking of a life without jalapenos, without Thai peppers.
My phone rang.
I glanced at the screen. It was my boyfriend, a demanding man I could not please.
I didn't answer it. "That man has become a pain in my side," I muttered.
And my mind did a double take.
"A pain in my side?" What, not "a pain in my butt"? Not "a pain in my neck"?
No. He was a pain in my side.
I broke up with him that night. I never felt the pain in my side again, and I still have my gallbladder.
And now?
The back of my head has begun to itch. Not always. Not every day. But violently, and with increasing frequency.
I pointed it out to Donna, the woman who cuts my hair.
"What's on the back of my head?"
She pushed the hair this way and that. "Hey, did you know you have another face back here?"
Donna and I have shared our morbid love of circus freaks.
"I do not!"
"Yeah, but if you did, think of the money you'd make."
"Seriously. What's on the back of my head."
My hair was moved from one side of my head to the other. "Nothing," she said. "I can see where you've been scratching at it, but I don't see why you've been scratching at it..."
She shrugged. "Looks like good scalp to me."
I showed my new doctor: "Scalp looks to be in good shape. Why are you scratching it?"
Good question.
It's my body. It's talking again.
Only what's it saying?

You just have a warm heart Pearl, you care about people to the point where you are willing to take on their pain.

Have you shared a hat with anyone? It is hat season.
I like jalapenos but they are not nice to me any more.
I changed Cooper's flea collar a few weeks ago. I was one month late, which is a rarity for me, but it is winter time and he hadn't been scratching more than normal.

I figured out a solution to your problem: I braved the cold just long enough to get a fudgesicle for myself and Beggin' Strips for Cooper. Oh, your solution, I almost forgot, sorry. Shave your head, wrap up in a couple of sheets, and then ask for donations at the airport. Don't forget to take a musical instroooment and a container for donations.

Heh. Same here. About a hundred years ago I was engaged to a guy who I had no business being engaged to. From the moment I said I'd marry him, I had a wart, yes, A WART, on my thumb knuckle. My body knew he was less a Prince and more a frog immediately. Dropped the fiance, tadaa, wart disappeared. Win win. funny thing how the body knows more than the head and heart sometimes : )

Hmm. I hesitate to blame ANYthing on female midlife, and yet I have to say that I started with the itchy scalp about when I was your age. I also noticed my formerly oily skin drying up phenomenally. Even if you've always had normal or dry skin, perhaps it's getting dryer too?

Hey Pearl! Yes, the body speaks to us in a myriad of subtle ways. If you were DREAMING about scratching your head, it apparently means: "strangers are annoying you by their flattering attentions, which you will feel are only shown to win favors from you." So I'd best be off. Indigo

I've had an itching spot on my scalp for years now. Always the same spot, but there's nothing there. Changing shampoos and conditioners has had no effect, new pillows, washing my hats, nothing changes, the itch is still there. And so very annoying.

It must mean SOMETHING!
You're not two-faced. I know it, intuitively.
Your psyche has an itch that needs scratchin'?
Don't go there. Whatever you do. DON'T DO IT.

Now I don't expect to have a "platinum wedding" and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on my special day. No, I will be very aware of my budget, but the one thing I do expect my wedding to be is special. I want to plan and dream and celebrate that day because I only plan on getting married once. I can think of few things that deserve to be celebrated as much as finding the person you want to spend the rest of your life with--cause for a celebration in my book!
That's why I was horrified last summer when I attended the wedding of my then boyfriend's (who from here on out be referred to as "bad life choice) best friend in Maryland. I was visiting and the day before his friend joined us for lunch and declared that he was getting married the next day. . . Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. The bride and groom had planned on getting married for some time and had simply decided to finally set the date less than 24 hours before the wedding was to be held. The next morning we woke up early, drove to the town center where the wedding would be held, and joined the few family members gathered.
The ceremony was performed by the clerk of the circuit court (my father holds the same elected office in my county) and the town square was actually very nice. At the last minute the bride realized she had not made arrangements for anyone to take pictures so I was quickly voted the official wedding photographer (having only met her the day before). I'll be honest and admit that my pictures from the day aren't exactly noteworthy.
Following the ceremony the guests went to a local hang out that is a bar, restaurant, and liquor store all in one to celebrate. The only problem was that the hang out didn't open til noon and we were stuck standing outside waiting for the place to open for nearly an hour. After which, happy hour began for "bad life choice" and the others gathered to celebrate.
After eating lunch together one of the bride's friends decided that they were lacking a wedding cake so she went to the local grocery story to pick one up. When the friend returned she insisted that the cake needed congratulations written on it. This became a problem once she realized that the cake was still frozen and there was no icing to decorate it with. Her solution to the problem: write on it with a Sharpie. Now, I learned in the first grade not to eat markers so this cake was tough to stomach.
Needless to say the day didn't feel special or out of the ordinary. I am in no way declaring that one must have a fabulous wedding that costs a lot of money. My grandparents were married nearly 60 years and had a nice courthouse wedding where my grandmother wore a dress suit instead of an extravagant wedding dress. Their marriage is one that I want to mold mine after someday, but I know that their day was special.
So, whether or not I have a designer gown or reception at the best venue I know that I want to plan my day and make it a celebration of the love I share with my husband to be. . . and I want a wedding cake not decorated with a Sharpie.

By: Rex - Wednesday, October 31, 2007
Whitney Stevens got turned on while trying on her sexy new lingerie so she invited her friend Jenna over for a little girl time. While she was waiting she got out her vibrator and started masturbating. Once her friend arrived, she got in on the action too. Whitney thought her tits were big, but when she seen Jenna's tripple d's, she was awe struck. She took her vibrator and slid it between Jenna's fantastic natural tits. It was around this time that the traveling salesman who'd sold Whitney the toys and lingerie returned. He had some more stuff she might be interested in. This was perfect timing on his part because these girls were revved up and ready for a man to give their big asses some much needed attention. They started blowing him right there in the sun room. Next they moved the operation inside where the real fun began. The salesman spent an equal amount of time on each girl, making sure they both got their rocks off, and in return, they gave him the threeway of his dreams. I think I might give this traveling salesman lark a try sometime. Seems like a good gig.

I got this in my mail and decided to pass it across:
In the past week,Nicole Dishuk,aged 31 newly graduated student
with a doctoral degree about to start her new career as a Doctor,was
flown into a nearby hospital because she had passed out.
They found a blood clot in her neck and immediately took her by
helicopter to the ER to operate.By the time they removed the right
half of her skull to relieve the pressure on her brain,the clot had
spread to her brain causing severe damage.
From last Wednesday night,she had been battling.They induced her
into a coma to stop the blood flow,operated 3 times and* finally,they
said there was nothing left that they could do.They found multiple
clots in the left side of her brain The swelling would not stop and
she was on life support.
She died at 4:30 yesterday. She leaves behind a husband,2 year old
Brandon and 4 year old Justin.The CAUSE of DEATH - A birth control
injection she was getting that allows you to only have your period
three times a year.It interrupts your menstrual cycle and although
it is FDA approved,it shouldn't be!
So to the women in my cirle-I ask you to boycott this
Product & deal with your cycle once a month so that you can live the
rest of your life in a healthier manner.
Please send this to every woman you know - you may save someone's
Remember, you have a CYCLE for a reason!

Work placement
Placement coordinators
If you are a placement coordinator from a masters and/or doctoral level program please contact us to discuss our placement program, we are also happy to arrange a visit for you.
Counselling, clinical, and educational psychology placements
At RMIT the Counselling Service seeks to provide a quality experience for provisionally registered psychologists who need to complete a supervised placement to fulfil postgraduate academic course requirements.
Students studying relevant counselling, clinical or educational psychology courses at the masters and doctoral level are invited to apply to do their placement with us.
What we offer
Training experiences include offering short-term individual therapy; providing group training and interventions, involvement in projects and counselling service initiatives, having individual and group supervision; and working with psychologists in various orientations to counselling and psychology.
The length of the placement is 10 months from February 2018 until the end of November 2018. We will also consider candidates wishing to complete a 6-month placement but those who are able to commit to 10 months will be more favourably considered. If 6-month placements are offered, they will correspond with semester times (Feb – June and June –November).
RMIT offers a stimulating, nurturing and professionally challenging placement experience for our interns. Our supervisors are an experienced team of counselling and clinical psychologists and our interns are considered an important part of our team.
Clients who attend the Counselling Service have a wide range of issues, many are from different cultures and issues include adjustment and transition difficulties as well as a large number of clinical disorders (DSM diagnosable), with additional family, social and relationship issues. Therefore there is a very high clinical component regarding presenting issues related to mental health and provisionally registered psychologists with some previous experience would be most suited to this placement.
Approximately seven intern places are offered each year.
Interns are based at one of RMIT's metropolitan campuses: City (3-4), Brunswick (1), and Bundoora (2).
Supervision and placement group meetings
Supervision is provided by experienced psychologists in the service. We offer provisional psychologists comprehensive supervision and support.
Interns have a regular weekly supervision meeting of one hour's duration with their supervisor. All interns will also have a back-up or secondary supervisor who will also meet with them regularly and provide supervision when their primary supervisor is absent.
Interns also meet monthly for a two and half hour group supervision session. This meeting is facilitated by a rotating member of our supervision team and provides valuable peer support, networking and information-sharing opportunities. In addition to the discussion of case material and other pertinent issues, RMIT psychologists present on specialist topics chosen in consultation with our interns.
Client contact
The Counselling Service endeavours to provide an appropriate level of client hours to allow interns to achieve course requirements. The workload is managed so that interns also have adequate time for case notes, follow-up and research during the working day.
- At beginning of placement, an assessment of interns' current level of practice is conducted and clients are assigned as appropriate by supervisor.
- Clients are informed that they have an appointment with an intern.
- The optimum number of clients is three per day for interns although this may increase to four clients per day as the intern gains confidence.
- The minimum number of clients we expect our interns to see each day is two per day. Interns are not normally assigned to new client sessions in the first two to three weeks of placement but begin taking new client bookings after this time.
- Interns are always supported by staff of the service who are available to assist them with any questions or challenges they may be experiencing while on placements.
- Interns do not see clients if another staff member is not working onsite at the same time.
Supervision sessions
The goals of supervision are discussed in the initial stages of supervision to ensure that the supervisee and supervisor have a clear understanding of the nature of their supervision contract. A written learning contract is jointly drafted to assist with clarifying goals. Supervision logs are kept by the intern and the supervisor.
- Interns have scheduled weekly one hour supervision sessions with their supervisor or back up supervisor.
- Interns have access to their supervisor, back up supervisor (or another RMIT psychologist) outside the formal supervision hour for consultations regarding clients as required.
- Supervision meetings are clearly marked out in the interns and Supervisor's appointments diary.
Orientation and training days
All interns will attend orientation and training days on 12, 13, and 14 February 2018 from 9am–5pm for an introduction and orientation to the Counselling Service and the Students Group of RMIT.
For interns who are offered a 6-month placement in second semester, there will be a second orientation period offered with dates to be confirmed.
Interns are expected to participate two days a week at the Counselling Service plus attend the monthly supervision/ professional development group that occurs on Wednesdays from 9.30 am to 12 pm at our Brunswick campus.
Interns are invited to attend a clinical meeting, offered at each campus, for opportunities to present cases and observe peer consultations on complex cases.
In addition to individual client contact, interns are encouraged to take part in other training activities:
- participating in and delivering workshops to students during orientation and other special events such as RU OK day
- participation in running therapeutic or support groups on issues such as anxiety management and enhancing happiness.
How to apply
To apply for placement at the Counselling Service, applicants must:
- be currently enrolled in a post graduate psychology training program
- have a current Working with Children Check ID
- have had at least one clinical or counselling placement and or equivalent clinical or counselling work experience
- not be a currently enrolled student or current employee of RMIT University.
The application and selection process follows formal procedures similar to those required when applying for a professional position in a large organisation. You are required to provide a:
1. letter of application stating/highlighting:
- reasons for applying for a placement in the Counselling Service
- clinical or counselling placement/ work experience
- campus preference (City, Brunswick, or Bundoora)
2. CV or résumé, with referees listed (including previous placement).
Applications should be addressed to Elizabeth Matjacic, Placement Coordinator, RMIT University Counselling Service, PO Box 71, Bundoora, 3083 or emailed to email@example.com.
Closing date
Closing date for applications is 30 September 2017.
What you can expect
Applicants will be notified by email or letter for interviews by the Placement Coordinator by 14 October 2017. Late applications will be accepted but late applicants will only be considered if positions cannot be filled from the current pool of timely applications.
Interviews take place on the campus for which the applicant is being considered for potential placement, are conducted by potential supervisors, and are about 30 minutes. The interview involves questions asked of the applicant, a 10 minute role play, and an opportunity for applicants to ask questions.
Placements to commence 12 February 2018 to 24 November 2018.

BRUSSELS, March 28 (Itar-Tass) —— Russia's Defense Minister has dispatched an invitation to NATO's Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen to an international missile defense conference in Moscow, the chief of the Defense Ministry's international military cooperation department, Sergei Koshelev, said on Wednesday.
The conference entitled Missile Defense Factor in Forming New Security Space will be held in Moscow on May 3-4.
"An invitation to the conference from the Russian Defense Ministry will be handed over to NATO's Secretary-General Andres Fogh Rasmussen later today," Koshelev said.
He pointed out that "the time for achieving a missile defense compromise has not been wasted yet."
"Our task is to explain to the maximum extent our concerns with facts and figures on hand, and to make our partners take these concerns into account," Koshelev said. "We shall present a discussion floor for missile defense debates with the emphasis on the military-technical aspect. We wish to analyze the existing missile threats in the world and to assess the likely tactical and technical characteristics of future missile systems that may be threatening Europe."

A.N. Surti, J.
1. The question which I am required to consider in the present petition is, whether a person who holds a civil post under the Railway Administration can be removed by any authority subordinate to the appointing authority.
2. In order to appreciate the grievance of the petitioner, a few relevant facts may be stated.
3. The petitioner was born at Beawar on August 31, 1922, and was holding the post of a watch and ward overseer (now designated as Head Rakshak). He was holding the post of Sub Inspector Security (Grade II) and was sent for training for the said post.
4. The Chief Security Officer by his order dated March 3, 1958 promoted the petitioner as Sub Inspector Security (Grade II), Railway Protection Force and was posted at Surendranagar. The Chief Security Officer also confirmed the Petitioner in the said post with effect from September 1, 1960 by an order dated November 8, 1960. He was also promoted Sub Inspector (Grade I) with effect from April 6, 1955 that is the date of promotion by an order dated August 11, 1967 passed on behalf of the Chief Security Officer, Churchgate, Bombay. Suffice it to state that right from March, 1958 the Chief Security Officer was passing various orders in favour of the petitioner to hold the aforesaid various posts and at various places.
5. By the impugned order Annexure T dated December 18, 1975 the Security Officer, Western Railway, Ajmer, who is also shown as the appointing authority was of the opinion that it was in the public interest to pass the impugned order whereby he gave a notice to the petitioner that on his completing 30 years service on August 30, 1974, the petitioner should retire from service from fore-noon of March 18, 1976, or from the date of expiry of three months computed from the date of service of this notice on him, whichever was later. It may be emphasised that the impugned order Annexure 'I' dated December 18, 1975 in clearest terms provides that the Security Officer was appointing authority.
6. On the aforesaid facts, a strong grievance was made by Mr. Syed that having regard to Article 311(1) of the Constitution of India. In substance, Mr. Syed urged before me, that the Security Officer never appointed the petitioner as Sub-Inspector, Security, Grade II or Sub-Inspector, Grade I. Mr. Syed urged that all throughout his career, right from March 14, 1958, the petitioner was holding the post of Sub Inspector, Security, Grade II and Sub Inspector, Security, Grade I as ordered and appointed by Chief Security Officer. Under the circumstances, Mr. Syed urged that the Security Officer is an officer subordinate to the appointing authority and that is why the impugned order Annexure 'I' to the main petition suffers from the vice of flagrant violation of Article 311(1) of the Constitution.
7. In the affidavit-in-reply filed on behalf of the Railway Administration, Mr. Pandit, the learned advocate for the Railway Administration invited my attention to the contents of paragraph 7 which are in the following terms:
Regarding para 10, I say that the petitioner was compulsorily retired from service on 23-3-1976 b.n. under this office order issued vide No. SOAE/90/3/1 dated 18-12-1975 in terms of Chief Security Officer, Churchgate's confidential letter No. SFE/90/3/1/1 dated 10-12-75.
It may be significantly noticed that even in the affidavit-in-reply the said letter of the Chief Security Officer was not produced by the Railway Administration.
8. But Mr. Pandit at the time of the hearing of the petition produced before me a letter dated December 10, 1975 which had been addressed even by the Deputy Chief Security Officer to Security Officer wherein it stated as follows:
The committee, having scrutinised the confidential Rolls and Service Records of Shri Gulab Singh, SIPF, consider that he is not fit to be retained in service beyond 30 years of service.
It may be emphasised that even the said letter dated December 19, 1975 which is produced by Mr. Pandit is not duly signed by the Chief Security Officer, but is signed by Deputy Chief Security Officer, obviously an officer subordinate to Chief Security Officer. But apart from the contents of the letter dated December 10, 1975 the impugned order Annexure 'I' to the main petition dated December 18, 1975 clearly provides that the Security Officer, Ajmer was of the opinion that it is in the public interest to pass the impugned order. Under the circumstances, can it be said by any stretch of imagination that the Chief Security Officer who is the appointing authority has ever applied his mind of was ever of the opinion that the services of the petitioner should come to an end by his retirement as mentioned in the impugned order Annexure 'I'? Mr. Panit also invited my attention to the officer order passed by the Chief Security Officer on September 17, 1974, whereby the Chief Security Officer empowered the Deputy Chief Security Officer, Security Officers and the Assistant Security Officers to appoint persons as members of the force or as Sub Inspectors, or as Sub Inspectors, Assistant Sub Inspectors, Head Rakshks, Senior Rakshaks and Rakshks, but even that order hardly assists the Railway Administration for the simple reason that the petitioner, in the instant case, was Sub Inspector on March 15, 1958 and long 14 or 15 years are over after the appointment of the petitioner as Sub-Inspector, Security, Grade II, Railway Protection Force and it is only after a lapse of 14 years that the Chief Security has empowered his subordinates to appoint the aforesaid persons as the members of the protection force of the Railway Administration.
9. In view of what has been stated above, what is the material before me to come to the conclusion, that in the instant case, the Chief Security Officer, who is the appointing authority has applied his mind and that he formed an opinion for the purpose of retiring the petitioner from his services as mentioned in the impugned order Annexure 'I' to the main petition. In view of the aforesaid facts, I am convinced that by passing the impugned order, the Railway Administration has made a flagrant violation of Article 311(1) of the Constitution. The railway administration was not at all justified in passing the impugned order notwithstanding the provisions contained in Article 311(1) of the Constitution.
As a result of the aforesaid discussion, I must necessarily accept the petition filed by the railway employee, and accordingly, I must set aside and quash the impugned order Annexure 'I' to the main petition.
10. But, Mr. Syed wants to be over safe for his client. In course of the hearing Mr. Syed brought to my notice that he did not press the other contentions as the petitioner was likely to succeed on the aforesaid point.
That brings us to the consideration as to what reliefs, the petitioner is entitled to get as a result of the success in the petition. The petitioner, in view of my aforesaid conclusion, is certainly entitled to a declaration that he should be treated in continuous service of the Railway Administration from the date of the impugned order, and accordingly, he should be given all back wages with all past and future benefits. Accordingly the petitioner will be deemed to be in service as if the order or retirement is not passed. The petitioner will be entitled to get all back wages and all services emoluments and all the benefits of seniority, pay etc. permissible under the Rules. In the result, the petition is allowed, and the rule is made absolute, with costs.

My daddy likes to play his music quite loudly, and I am starting to appreciate it too. Although, I still need to tell him to turn it down every once in a while. We were painting this morning and when this song came on, I just had to get up and dance a bit. Daddy grabbed the camera and the rest is…well just watch.
(I realized today that Kaia will not always be this age, and while at first it made me sad to think that she will grow and change, it also made me appreciate every minute I spend with her and be thankful that she will grow and change, and I will be there every step of the way to document, participate in, and simply watch in awe the force that is my little girl!)

The Other Thunderball "Look Down
Sketches for this artwork were recently unearthed by enthusiast Adrian Olivera.He recently came into the hobby through a stroke of luck, having acquired a collection of 1960's era MGM artwork. The collection consisted of pieces from films such as Where Eagles Dare, Ice Station Zebra, and Doctor Zhivago. Many artists were represented, including Howard Terpning, Frank Frazetta, Bob Peak, and Frank McCarthy. This find ignited his interest in movie artwork, and especially those of Frank McCarthy. His pursuit of more artwork led to the preliminary discovery.
These preliminaries provide a fascinating insight into the creative process:
McCarthy seems to have started with a much darker, bluer version of the artwork measuring 14" x 23", painted on artist vellum.This first version included much more details such as parachutes
and an airplane seen through the water.
A note on the back – presumably feedback from the art director (Donald Smolen?) – gives change instructions including "lighter water".
Consequently McCarthy created a second version of the painting. The sketches were done on semi-transparent artist vellum, which gives an interesting insight into his work style: The back reveals that he first blotted out the broad composition with bold colours and then painted the details.
The resulting artwork is very detailed and highly dynamic with a lot of depth.
This pure version was rarely used. The only example I'm aware of is the Milton Bradley Thunderball game.
The published artwork is actually combination of the two artworks – Connery fighting the diver from the regular "Look Down" and this artwork. More details about this in this previous post:
Thanks and credits to Thomas from the Nixdorf Collection and Adrian for sharing this!

Wow. Just generating work as awesome as this is a feat, but to call it a "sketch" or "draft"? I'm trying to picture the studio rep who looks at one of these and says, "Yeah, that's pretty good, but drop this, move this over there and change the colors." And then McCarthy does it! Eh, just another day at the office.
I guess the dark blue might not have repro'd as well on posters, but I like it better, and the parachutes and plane are a terrific touch.
Was there ever a book collection of McCarthy's work?

Peter, I've seen Howard Terpning and Frank McCarthy credited for the final Where Eagles Dare poster. Do you have any info?
Great article on McCarthy.

@ David: Sadly there is no book about McCarthy's work but I'd love to see one.
@Bob: Have a look at the links on the bottom of the post, Adrian has published some of the Where Eagles Dare" sketches. Quite interesting.

McCarthy did the action shot, of which I had the final draft. Terpning did the portrait style piece, of which I had the final. Both excellent pieces.

Fascinating/fantastic stuff!
I think U/A had some of the most dynamic poster art of the '60's.

Thanks for popping it up.

Starts of Metamorphosis
Holiday weekends are a wonderful time for the knitter in me. One intense evening of cleaning my house (you would not believe the stuff I found under the beds in children's rooms!) and I was able to settle in with some yarn and some needles.
Saturday was for finished object photo's - you have seen those already, and I might have given in to temptation and swatched for St Margaret.
St. Margaret is another top down sweater, I seem to have fallen in love with the lack of sewing up side seams!
That is the start to the Yoke and if you look very, very closely you can see markers for where raglan seams go.
We have had our disagreements, St. Margaret and I, but I think that we have finally decided that we can work together.
Sunday charts went up for Metamorphosis, so of course I had to drop everything to play along with that!
Shawl 1 - not a very dramatic name, but certainly in a dramatic color! This is Colourmart 3/15 Shiny Cotton in a very nice red, Granate. Shhh, don't tell anyone, that is also my swatch! For a shawl what matters is that you like your yarn and needle combination, that you get a nice fabric, because bigger or smaller it is still as shawl!
More pictures soon, there are two sweaters to talk about, but I have to finish some more knitting before I can show them to you!

...Really, I did. Life kind of got in the way...that's neither here nor there...
I had to have airplane knitting on our trip last weekend. I wanted something that didn't need charts or books or pages...so, I grabbed up all the little balls of Reynolds Cabana that I had left and my trusty Boye US 6 circulars and made a couple of little somethings:
Here's another view:
Now, I am done with all that yarn!

Hidden Rolls and the Temptation of the Fudge
I run my games via G+ Hangouts / TableTop Forge - my rolls are in the open, except for secret door checks / wandering monsters and the like.
The world is not always a fair place, and without risk the game (it is primarily a game, not a storytelling experience, although the story should evolve naturally through play) is bland.
How can there be excitement for overcoming great odds when fate and chance has no place in the equation?
I'm willing to improvise and let my players think up solutions / actions / flaming mine carts into orcs and the like that are not strictly covered by the rules - heck, I encourage it. That's the extent of my DM Fiat - letting the players find methods to increase their chances of success.
If the game uses dice, the dice are there for a reason. Denying them the ability to impact the course of the game removes much of "the game" from the experience.
I trust my players to play through the dice rolls, good or bad.
I am expected to do the same.
My players don't want fudged dice rolls, in their favor or against them. Sometimes they fail when the odds are heavily in their favor. Sometimes they unexpectedly succeed. Same with their adversaries.
For my group, that is part of the fun. Well, that and beer and derailing the game with outside the game talk. But that's how we roll - with honest rolls.
By fudging the rolls, you are moving from RPG to Storytelling. There is a huge gray area where they overlap, and fudging of dice is a part of that IMO.
That to me is the issue - are you playing a game or a looking for a storytelling experience?
My fear is that fudging dice rolls for "the story" takes importance away from "the characters". My feeling has always been that "the characters" should always come before whatever story I may have in mind, and that won't be the case if I fudge dice rolls.
Besides, I expect my players to be honest with their rolls. The least I can do is the same ;)

I get what you mean, but I'm not comfortable with saying "you are moving from RPG to Storytelling." I don't know if you are grouping these together, but there are storytelling games, and a lot of those games -- not all -- actually have strict rules in place with little room for fudging -- at least where the rules are concerned. What makes fudging dice for me unpalatable is that it removes agency from everyone and everything to accommodate one person's view of what should happen.ReplyDelete
@Joel - I get where you're coming from. When I refer to "storytelling games", the ones i'm referring to are rpgs where the GM puts his story over the actual game play - there's a predestination - he's telling his story. Thus, storytelling over gameplayReplyDelete
I know there is a large swath of storytelling games, many of which have built ways to "fudge" within the rules - in general, not my style of play but a legitimate game mechanic

W2's lady love.
W1 had a sleep over last night and the boys had a great time until W1 woke up this morning with a sore throat. Strep again-this makes 3 times in the last 3 months. He will probably have to have his tonsils removed in 2009. Luckily, the doctor took pity on him and gave him medicine, not a shot...New Year's Eve plans have been canceled and we will miss our friends that we always celebrate with! Hope everyone has a blessed 2009!
