Give Miss Cali Sunshine a spin - it's a new offering from G5 the Jett. It was dropped on Wednesday, July 20th, 2011. G5 the Jett's rap artistry continues to improve with every release, something which is most definitely evidenced on Miss Cali Sunshine. His ever-expanding catalogue is definitely better for it, and we're looking forward to the next piece of the puzzle - aren't you?

Venue: Vanbrugh Bowl
Run: 17 – 19 June 2011
Production Team: Justin Stathers, Tom Crowley, Katie Lambert, Mickey Hollman, Shona Jemphrey, Tanwen Morgan, Emma Gallacher, Rosie Peters, Matthew Lecznar, Stephanie Bartlett, Beth Eustace.
Rating: **
PantSoc's 2011 summer pantomime has a big, energetic cast and genuinely entertaining moments, which make you really want to discount the rather freewheeling storyline and the one-too-many deliberately groan inducing puns. Unfortunately, they begin to weigh on the performance by the second half; try as you might, there's a considerable chance you'll leave with just a few chuckles and a pleasant but somewhat forgettable experience.
Although the humor relied heavily on campus in-jokes related to YUSU, societies and campus media, these were often genuinely among the funnier moments (I appreciated the shout-out, Justin Stathers, however generalising it was), but their effect would have been lost on the non-students in the audience. The musical numbers could have benefited from a little more practice in terms of timing, yet at the end of the day it isn't a musical, and bearing that in mind the songs did add a well-placed mockery of certain Hollywood blockbusters to the mix.
Standout performances included Odin Hilmarsson's somewhat disconcertingly realistic middle-aged, sex-crazed and deafeningly shrill character; Lewis Chandler's morally torn pirate; and Joe Popplewell's villainous parrot. Everyone had a quirky moment or two in the limelight as well, although they never let their energy wane when they had longs periods of walking on and standing around within a large ensemble. Again, going through the pacing and editing the story down a little more objectively could have prevented these aspects from becoming repetitive and thus more apparent to the audience each time.
The live band was a great addition, making a positive difference to the overall mood and casual atmosphere of the panto. Stage design was vibrant but looked a little thrown together with whatever was lying around backstage in Central Hall. Ultimately, though, what makes or breaks a panto is how funny and enjoyable it is or isn't; on that account, despite looking like it was fun for the cast, Treasure Island drags a little and fails to make you forget the chill wind and damp grass of Vanbrugh Bowl.

A meatball is just a meatball, or so I thought. Meatballs have been around forever and ever and just when I thought I had tried them all, after spending a weekend at Rosen Shingle Creek, I realized that there may be a new specifies around. We admittedly are a meatball family, they are at the heart of many of our Sunday Supper meals. We have cooked up traditional meatballs, pork meatballs, Portuguese meatballs, panko meatballs in ponzu sauce and teeny tiny meatballs in our Italian Wedding Soup. But lo and behold, there is a new meatball that we fell in love with thanks to the memorable dinner we enjoyed at Cala Bella's Fine Italian Restaurant located at Rosen Shingle Creek. Who knew you could stuff a meatball?
It was our Anniversary weekend and Reis's birthday and we wanted to celebrate at the memorable restaurant. Cala Bella's did not disappoint. I could go on an on about the menu (and I will in another post) but the one item that we were all craving and talking about weeks after our visit was the stuffed meatballs. I love when a fabulous restaurant inspires our family to spend time in the kitchen trying to recreate a memorable recipe. My kids enjoyed the stuffed meatballs so much that they challenged me to make them for one of our Sunday Supper meals.
Fall and Football are one in the same at our home. We tend to barbecue all summer and as soon as Fall hits, we are ready for a pot of simmering sauce and some Sunday Supper Meatballs. Lucky for me, the wonderful folks at Cala Bella shared their recipe with me. I was able to duplicate, maybe not quite the same as the original, the amazing stuffed meatballs and I know this is a Sunday Supper keeper!

"On July 1, Canada Day, Canadians awoke to a startling, if pleasant, piece of news," writes Canadian author Stephen Marche. "For the first time in recent history, the average Canadian is richer than the average American."
His source is a recent study by Environics Analytics WealthScapes, which concluded that the average Canadian has a net worth of $363,202 to $319,970 for the average American. I figured I'd check that figure against other estimates. It turns out, if anything, it lowballs Canadians' wealth advantage.
First, the Environics data measures only mean household wealth. Median wealth is probably a better metric for how the typical household is doing. And there, Canada is beating the United States by even more. Credit Suisse's Global Wealth Report (pdf) found that in 2011, Canada had a median household wealth of $89,014 to $52,752 for the United States. Here's how the countries featured in the report stack up (click for a bigger version):
So not only does Canada beat the United States on median net worth. Just about every developed country save Sweden and Denmark does. The UK, Japan, Italy (!) and Australia more than double the U.S. median.
One might think that this is an artifact of the financial crisis, which Canada weathered better than the United States. In particular, housing prices, as measured by the House Price Index in Canada and the Case-Shiller Index in the United States, fell by much less in Canada.
But a look at net worth before the crisis shows that Canada was ahead then too. Here's how U.S. and Canadian median net worth looked in 2004 and 2005, respectively,(unfortunately, the two countries both only collect data every few years):
So Stephen Marche is wrong. The average Canadian is not wealthier than the average American for "the first time in recent history." He's been wealthier all along.

- install SABnzbd - an Open Source Binary Newsreader written in Python
SABnzbd makes Usenet as simple and streamlined as possible […] everything […] will be automatically downloaded, verified, repaired, extracted and filed away with zero human interaction.
- Use SABnzbd in conjunction with one or more of the following:
- Sick Beard - The ultimate PVR application that downloads and manages your TV shows
NB does not download actual TV episodes, it only downloads .torrent/.nzb files. In order to automate your downloads you need to also configure SB to communicate with your favorite download program (eg can put torrents in a "watch folder")
- CouchPotato - automatic NZB and torrent downloader
You can keep a "movie I want"-list and it will search for NZBs/torrents of these movies every X hours. Once a movie is found, it will send it to SABnzbd or download the .nzb or .torrent to a specified directory.
- Headphones - sick beard for music albums and artists
of course i'm not suggesting or condoning piracy of movies and music etc, but i could definitely see a use for this sort of thing when it comes to keeping up with TV shows, particularly those from the other side of the pacific ocean. beats checking for torrents manually and/or scouring youtube.
anyway i started trying this out before realising that i'd probably need to pay for an account to access binary news groups, without which these tools won't be doing much downloading at all!
oh well, looks like it's back to an ad-hoc combination of regular PVR / torrents / youtube / local tv station websites for me...

Comcast just announced they would be releasing a new streaming television service for customers. The new service will be available in Boston, Chicago and Seattle later this year and across the company's coverage areas in the United States in 2016.
As Comcast joins the ranks of streaming television, let us reflect on a the full list of services already existing. Here's a list of other streaming services and why I love them. Can Comcast compete?
1. Netflix
My long-time relationship. My one and only binge-watching fav. Netflix has been there since the beginning and with new Netflix-original series hits like Orange is the New Black and House of Cards...there is no stopping this service in my heart.
2. Amazon Prime Instant Video
I've used this service because my mom has Amazon Prime and so I can use it for free (shoutout to my mom!) It doesn't have many tv shows or movies for free, but they do offer ones that Netflix lacks. (I'm a big BBC Classic fan and Amazon Prime has a wealth of all of my favorite period dramas). I run to Amazon Prime any time I need some classic in my life.
3. Hulu
I starting using Hulu before Netflix, but only the free version. It is hard for me to keep up with my shows before they leave (I tend to bing-watch on my days off) Hulu Prime sounds like a better deal for me. And now with the announcement of the Mindy Project on Hulu...I think they are slowly capturing my heart.
4. iTunes
This one is pretty much pay for what you want only. It's my families favorite for movie night. We can pretty much watch anything for a small rental price. But those prices add up, so maybe not the best option for budgeting. But like I said, it's a perfect family night purchase!
5. HBO Go
It's new. It's fresh. But hey, it's HBO. I haven't used this service yet, but I've heard good things. I would pay for this service just to watch Girls and all the HBO documentaries.
Well, did I miss any good ones? What are your favorite streaming services? I'm guessing we have quiet a few Netflix fans. It'll be interesting to see what Comcast comes out with to compete with these prime services. Can they com up with something worth casting?

text: Hey all, I recently replaced an ancient BEFW11S4 v2 and WMP11 v1.1 with a WRT54G v3 and WMP54G v4. I've been noticing that Windows (XP Home, SP2 with WPA2 hotfix installed) will change from "Connected" to "Acquiring network address..." every so often, causing me to lose my connection for about 30 seconds. This happens at least once every hour unless I'm downloading a file or playing a game that causes constant network activity and no "idling". It does this regardless of whether I'm using WPA or WEP. Any ideas?

Ten Storage Options for Your Expedit
We often sing the praises of Ikea's Expedit bookcase (which we described as a workhorse) because the cube shelving has such excellent storage potential...but then what? Books and larger toys can fly solo, but you'll likely want to use storage bins for kids' clothes, shoes and toys. Jump below to find ten options to fit your Expedit.
The interior dimension of each Expedit cube is (a smidge over) 13" wide, (a smidge over) 13" high and 15.25" deep. In our experience it's best to use bins or baskets that are not too tight (so they remove easily) or too small (why waste the space?). All of the options below fall within these parameters - feel free to add a link to others.
• 1 Strapping Cube ($10)
• 2 Canvas Storage Bin ($36)
• 3 Drona Box ($5)
• 4 Household Essentials Dots ($13, note: takes 1-2 months to deliver)
• 5 JJ Cole Storage Cube ($17)
• 6 Branas Basket ($10)
• 7 Large Tribeca Bin ($12)
• 8 Ropers Cube Basket ($15, note: shipping early June)
• 9 Large Aluminum-Framed Bin ($30)
• 10 Small Eco-Fabric Bin ($13)

I love being a tutor because I know how helpless it can feel to not be able to understand something, but I also know how liberating it can be when you finally do understand how to do something you have been struggling with. There is nothing better than the feeling of knowing you helped someone to feel that amazing sense of ability, and hopefully raised their self-esteem and self-sufficiency in the process!
HobbiesThis is my first semester at Southern Utah University, as I started out at Western Wyoming Community College for 2 years where I was a member of the volleyball team. I love sports, particularly volleyball, but also soccer, basketball, and speed-skating. I am also a movie nerd, and I especially love any comic-book movie, especially The Avengers! I have two younger brothers at home in Ogden, UT and a border collie who is my best buddy. As weird as it is, I LOVE editing papers, and not to brag, but I am pretty good at it. I just love being able to help someone organize their thoughts in a way that makes sense but still retains their unique voice and ideas.
Preferred Subjects
English, Writing, ESL, ACT prep, Psychology

Promoting Students' Progressions in Science Classrooms: A Video Study
Abstract"This study was conducted in a large-scale environmental literacy project. In the project, we developed a Learning Progression Framework (LPF) for matter and energy in social-ecological systems; the LPF contains four achievement levels. Based on the LPF, we designed a Plant Unit to help Levels 2 and 3 students advance to Level 4 of the LPF. In the present study, 12 teachers used the Plant Unit to teach, and their students took an LPF-based assessment both before and after the teaching intervention. We observed and videotaped 20 lessons from four of those participating teachers. In this article, we report on how teachers' teaching practice and students' learning practice in classrooms mediate the intervention's impact on students' learning outcomes. Regarding teaching practice, we focused on how teachers used discourse strategies to engage students in meaningful learning. Regarding students' learning practice, we studied epistemological frames that the students used to guide their thinking. The results show that encouraging students to talk about the how and why behind their answers did not always lead to students' use of productive frames and positive learning gains. We found that one teacher, Ms. S, successfully fostered students' use of productive frames by using discourse strategies that target the specialized ways of reasoning behind the science content and the rationale for scientific investigations. Ms. S' students also achieved a learning gain higher than the average learning gain in the intervention. These results suggest that discourse strategies aligned with the LPF play an important role in learning progression-based interventions."

Another vegetable which I previously dismissed has been reclaimed! I've grown up in the south generally despising "southern vegetables" - okra being at the top of my list.
I had a bag in my CSA box a couple weeks ago though and knew I needed to do something with them. I found a lovely recipe for Indian-style okra on All Recipes and thought I would try that.
You just melt butter in a skillet. Chop on onion and saute it until tender. Slice the okra and throw it into the mix. Sprinkle on cumin, coriander, ginger, salt, and pepper. Cook that for a few minutes - stirring often. Serve and enjoy!
I was quite sad when okra did not appear in my CSA box the next week.
You can find the full recipe with actual measurements and specific times here: Indian Style Okra

Raising a daughter is challenging for all the jaw-dropping reasons we see in our newsfeeds every day. But for me there's an extra dose of difficult thanks to this oft-unreported reason: I suck at doing hair.
This picture was taken the other morning but it could have been taken today. Or yesterday. Or tomorrow. Nora wakes up with teased-up dreadlocks every single day. Eventually (with lots of water and a few tears) it's tameable but then the real drama starts. Trying to put that mop into some kind of style. Or at the very least keep it out of her eyes. But mama does not have many tricks up her sleeve.
To this day, my hairdresser is baffled by me. He always asks, "So, where do you want the part?" And I'm like "Eh, I don't care." And he's all, "Well, when you do your hair how do you do it?" and I'm all, "Dude, you know I don't do my hair. What you see is what you get." As a pre-teen, I couldn't even figure out how to pull all my hair up into a half ponytail so I would pull three big chunks back into three clips across my head (two at my temples and one on top). Take a sec to picture that. Did I mention I also wore a headgear? Even now, it's rare that I can get my hair into a ponytail without having bumps or straggling pieces. It should go without saying that I cannot do a French braid or a twist or a chignon or any other fancy term for hair that looks cool. It's a serious handicap of mine and Nora is already paying the price.
Of course it doesn't help that she hates having her hair done. That I get. Some of my worst childhood memories were of sitting at the kitchen counter before school eating my cheerios while my mom attacked my hair. I swear they must not have had conditioner back then because it was torture. I don't want to do that to Nora but so far we just aren't gelling. My mom thinks the solution is chopping her some bangs so at least when I can't wrestle her to the ground and throw some clips in, she'll be able to see. We did this once and it wasn't my favorite look. And when I do pull her hair back into a pony tail or a cute poof on top of her head or pig tails she looks so cute.
On the days she has school, I get around this issue by packing a little brush and rubber bands and clips and asking her teachers to do it. (Can you say, cop out?) They're all young and clearly weren't absent the day they taught hair because Nora will often come home with adorable styles I didn't even know existed. And even parts. Even parts! How do they do that?!
Any of you have experience with this? How do you deal with the tangles and the fight to get it done and keep it done? What's your go-to style? Should I just get her bangs already? Oh, and I also know that hair is not just an issue for girls. Alex requires taming as well. So much so that we recently got him a buzz cut, but now he's in the "mom-I-gotta-spike-up-my-hair" every single day phase. Arggggggggggghhhhhhhhh.

South Africa captain du Plessis charged with ball tampering
HOBART: South Africa captain Faf du Plessis has been charged with ball tampering, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Friday.
Du Plessis was charged after television footage appeared to show him applying an artificial substance to the ball during the fourth day's play in the second test against Australia in Hobart.
"Du Plessis has pleaded not guilty to the charge … Details of the hearing will be announced in due course," the ICC said in a statement.
Under cricket rules, a player may shine the ball provided no artificial substance is used.
The South African squad stood behind star bat Hashim Amla as they fronted the media at the MCG, the day before they play a Victorian XI under lights.
"The reason everyone is here is to stand together, really, and to show solidarity to something … we thought was actually a joke," Amla said.
"As a team, we're standing strong, we've done nothing wrong. It's basically a joke."
It was then put to Amla that his captain was under investigation over the incident.
"Whether it is or not, we've done nothing wrong and I know Faf has done absolutely nothing wrong," he said.
"I chew bubble gum while I'm on the field – you want me to brush my teeth after lunch?
"We're standing out on the field for two hours … there was no malicious intent whatsoever."

Okay I have to admit we have not had that much here in my village in Kent, we seem to get forgotten. Just 10 minutes up the road and its torrential, here it will be blue skies!!! That said at night we tend to get a sprinkling of rain which had been lovely for the veggie patch, many meals of fresh peas and tiny carrots enjoyed so far, the runner beans are running up the canes displaying beautiful arrays of crimson jewels too. Alas the chicken run looks like a swamp but the girls are enjoying it.
My quick blog today is just a reminder of 2 fabulous sites that I have mentioned many times and also list here on my blog.
Firstly, www.thegreenparent.co.uk If you have not read the magazine go and get a copy or look on their site. It is a wonderful magazine put of ideas, features, tips and trinkets of information. This month we are loving the food special in my household, the fritatta being a huge hit.
Secondly, www.nataliefee.com The most superb writer ever. Natalie has a regular article in The Green Parent magazine too, but if you do not have a copy of her book The Everyday Alchemists Happiness Handbook - go and get a copy. I found myself nodding my head and say yes, that's exactly it! An enjoyable read, uplifting, inspirational and a great personal toolbox to make you stop and think.
Now that I appear to have a connection again, blogging will resume. Thank you to all the lovely messages I have had over the last month and as requested more home makes, bakes and wytchiness will feature.

@Stephanie: It is great to see another foodie in Davis! I've been following noble pig for quite some time and was disappointed when she moved out of here, so it's great to see there is someone else still around. It definitely is a small world. Happy Blogging!ReplyDelete

There are a million blogs on the net and I can't possibly read all of them. I tend to steer to the humor and trading sites. Every once in a while I tend to linger towards the "how to make a better" blog sites and JohnChowDotCom is one of those sites.
I don't think John goes out to write a site that helps you make a better site but through his postings on his trials and tests I've learned things that work and don't work on the internet. I first found out about John through digg and his stories I felt were some of the best on digg. They constantly were among the most dugg stories on the site. Then unbelievably he was banned from digg for posting too many of his own stories. We all post our own stories. The difference being John and I only posted stories that we thought were some our our better work. Digg didn't agree. John doesn't need Digg. He has one of the best sites on the net and draws thousands of viewers every day on his own merit.
One of his more creative ideas is to have people write reviews his site in return for a list of who writes reviews. How does this benefit me? I get a link on one of the best sites on the net for free. I would write this review for free because I aspire to have the return viewership he has. Of course "Raping the Bull" doesn't quite have the same return value. Want to have a better site and learn more about this Internet thing? Give John Chow a try. One last thing. This guy pretty much copied exactly John's site but actually it is a good site as well.

I went and scraped the snow off both my ponds and broke through the ice on
one. I immediately got the bad, rotting smell. Some native plants were
still green, even those imbedded in the ice. No fish in either of those
I then went to a neighbors who I had helped put in a small pond. When I
broke through the 3" of ice, all the fish I could find were dead. Maybe too
much fish load and too much rotting vegetation.
None of the ponds were aerated.

through the ice from lack of gases escaping. It doesn't seem too bad, but I
am sure if we get some rain, or signifigant snow melt, and it gets below
freezing it would seal it up. It appears the important thing is letting
gases escape, and some fresh air into the water regardless of method. The
snow did keep the ice from getting as thick as it could most likly, but
doing so also sealed the pond off.

Dolby Audio Driver Error Msg
since a few days I've been getting this msg pictured below whenever I start up my laptop. I don't know why. I've tried to find the older driver somewhere as a download or something, but apparently it's not that easy. Also the audio works fine, just maybe a little worse than before but I might just be imagine that. Anyone know a solution for this? Do I need a solution for this?

Your current version of the Dolby Audio Driver is 7.2.8000.17. The software needs the version 7.2.7000.7. Please install a compatible version of driver and software.

Hi there ..... Realtek Audio Driver ... I believe is the cause of this ...... Have you updated that Driver? .... You should only get updates for your Drivers from your Manufactures web site ..... But if all is working well i would tend to leave things alone .... You should be able to turn the Notification off .... By clicking on the task bar and Customize .... Scroll down to Dolby Profile Sector and select Hide

Uhm, I might have. A friend of mine recentely suggested a software that updates your drivers for you (it's a german one) and I did that, so yeah, I might have updated the realtek audio driver. Guess I'm never gonna use that software again!
I tried the other thing, but Dolby Profile Sector is not on that list, so I can't hide it..

Angry Violist #5.5
Emma, Cambridge – http://angryviolist.wordpress.com
Angry Violist is one of my favourite UK zines – Emma writes about classical music and esoteric musical ideas in a fairly accessible way, and I feel as if I've enriched my mind somewhat after delving into her writing. This particular issue was created in 24 hours, so it's a little shorter and messier than other issues, and is rather more personal and opinionated. The zine opens with a fascinating piece on the hierarchy of music, sound and noise, and how these 3 intertwine, illustrated with a detailed Venn diagram (who doesn't enjoy a good Venn diagram?). We also read about the discipline of acoustic violin/viola/cello playing, and "the wilderness of exceptionally loud and distorted noises" that emerge when you hook your instrument up to an amplifier. My favourite piece was about the joy and vulnerability of making music with other musicians, and the danger of comparing yourself to other musicians. The layout is messy and cut-and-paste, though the focus of the zine is the words rather than the visuals. I adore this zine series - Emma strikes me as a knowledgeable musician, and her zines are always so vibrant and engrossing!
Girlzone #2: In Your Dreams
Edited by Charlotte Cullen, Huddersfield – http://project-babe.tumblr.com
This lovely half-sized compzine is all about girly sleepovers, an empowering practice of female bonding and exploration that are "an important part of any adolescent adventure". We read tips for good sleepovers, how to build a fort, nail art ideas, a list of perfect sleepover films, and tales of sleepovers gone wrong. There are also pieces of artwork dotted throughout, and the centrefold is a big pink Ouija board! Printed in colour and bound with pink and green cotton thread, it's a cute, quirky zine (though unfortunately due to the way it's been printed, it's a bit difficult to read in places). Highly recommended!
Light of My Life: Adventures in Low-power Lighting #1
Flo, Leeds – http://ledfantasticblog.wordpress.com
Flo, Leeds – http://ledfantasticblog.wordpress.com
Light of My Life is a cool half-sized zine all about LEDs, created by Flo while on an electrical apprenticeship. It's packed full of info about LEDs, including the advantages of using them over other types of lighting (namely, you save around 92% energy!), how and where to work with them, and how to make a 12-volt LED circuit. There's also a list of things Flo loves about their apprenticeship. It's a short zine with a nice cut and paste look, and Flo's enthusiasm for their work is really lovely to read.
Agua Pura: A Month on the US/Mexico Border
Kathleen, Leeds - agua.pura.zineATgmail.com
Kathleen, author of perzine 'Scratch that Itch', wrote this zine all about her experiences working as a paramedic providing humanitarian aid on the US/Mexico border. Every year, thousands of people from central America walk for days through the searing heat of the desert to cross the US/Mexico border, pushed to do so by "economic imperative, systematic violence and family ties". Kathleen writes much about the experiences of the travellers – the exhaustion and terror, dehydration and frequent deaths along the way, the US Border Patrol's overzealous hunting of travellers using helicopters, drones, ATVs and dogs, and Kathleen's struggle to emotionally detach herself from the events in the desert. We also read about her personal experiences there – her colleagues, rattlesnakes, finding a dying traveller at the side of the road and being legally unable to drive him to get help, and hearing that a friend of hers died by his own hand while she was away. The layout is nice – mostly black text on white background, with illustrations, comic strips, and some handwritten sections. I also love the blue ink on the cover and centrefold. A very well-written and thoughtful story.
Her Kind #1
Amy Isme, England - herkindAToutlook.com
I picked this zine up for free at a riot grrrl night in Coventry called REVOLT, and it's actually one of the best British zines I've read for ages! Her Kind is a half-sized perzine that features themes of queerness, sisterhood, illustration, erotica, feminism, and body acceptance. It's quite disjointed, featuring lots of little things rather than any extended pieces – lots of illustrated quotes on the topic of eroticism and lesbianism, a sexy piece of erotic fiction (AKA "the one-handed read"), an illustration of her heroine Delphine Seyrig, an open letter to Amy's school bullies, and some awesome feminist-themed illustrations! The zine closes with a passionate piece on the power and wonder of the cunt – I adore the whole thing, but especially the image of a turned-on cunt widening "as if trying to hook itself around the furthest-away stars in the galaxy, travelling further & further up into space, making all of the infinite BLACKNESS throb & throb". Such beautiful imagery! Her Kind is intelligent, accepting, and affirming – it's the kind of zine I wish I could copy and give out to everyone I know!

Academic tutors for the Residential College are usually interviewed and hired in February – March and July – August of each year. However, expressions of interest are welcome at any time, and your application will be placed on file until there is a vacancy.
Trinity provides tutorials (groups) and supervisions (individual), for subjects at the University of Melbourne in which students are enrolled. Tutorials typically run from week 3 to SWOT vac, Monday-Thursday and Sunday, at 5.30, 7.30 and 8.30pm. A tutorial timetable is set up by the Head of Academic Programs working with students and tutors.
The College tutorial system is an established feature of the academic programs of the colleges and Halls of Residence affiliated with the University.
College tutorials serve four primary functions:
- to help students understand subject material and to clarify important or difficult concepts
- to help students broaden their perspective on subject materials
- to provide a tutor-led common interest group for a subject in which students can gain support and discuss issues relevant to a subject
- to help in special circumstances such as a lack of basic study skills, note taking, lack of background information, language difficulties etc.
College tutors should not be attempting to 're‐teach' the subject; rather, they will respond to issues raised by students about the materials, and offer further intellectual challenges.
Tutorials are taught by senior students and graduates who have demonstrated academic excellence in their own studies. Tutors should be both teachers and models, encouraging independent learning, critical enquiry and peer discussion.
The tutorials we run are requested by student and attendance at tutorials is voluntary. Tutorials may be altered or cancelled to meet student needs. Academic tutors are paid $86.19/hr for a tutorial and $43.10/hr for a consult. They are welcome to dine at High Table in hall on nights that they teach, and are eligible to join the Senior Common Room.
If you are interested in tutoring at Trinity, please send to Dr Gayle Allan, Deputy Dean

Let's Take A Deep Breath on BDS
Posted in BDS, tagged Americans for Peace Now, Anti-Zionism, antisemitism, BDS Movement, Occupation, Peter beinart on June 17, 2015|
Yair Lapid, Israel's former Finance Minister, told a hawkish "pro-Israel" gathering in New York that the leaders of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanction movement (BDS) are anti-Semites and their followers are "bleeding heart, so-called intellectuals." Lapid went on to say that European citizens and American students "…are cheering for the people and values that brought 9/11 to this country. You are supporting people that kill gays and suppress women."
Mutual Demonization
Lapid is far from alone in elevating the movement to a threat on par with Israeli descriptions of Iran. Whether it was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu placing a high-ranking Likud Member of the Knesset in charge of battling BDS or grandstanding on the issue by prominent members of Congress, the "threat" of BDS has never seemed greater.

Holocaust Survivors Counter Elie Wiesel's Hateful Ad
Posted in Gaza, Holocaust, tagged Anti-Zionism, Avigdor Lieberman, Elie Wiesel, Fascism, Four-year old Israeli boy killed, Gaza, Holocaust, Josef Goebbels, Naftali Bennett, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach on August 23, 2014| 8 Comments »
Like many Jews of my generation and subsequent ones, I read Elie Wiesel's book "Night" when I was very young. I was moved,
frightened and terribly saddened by the horrors Wiesel and millions of others suffered at the hands of the Nazis.
But Wiesel has failed to learn the lessons of his own experience. Rather than universalizing the call to end the oppression of people regardless of the race, religion or beliefs of either the oppressed or the oppressor, Wiesel has made a special exception for Israel.
For decades, Wiesel was notably silent when it came to Israel's treatment of the Palestinians. But in recent years, he has broken that silence not to defend millions of people suffering under occupation but to be an apologist and even defender of some of Israel's worst excesses. That state of affairs reached something of a zenith recently when Wiesel, along with the crazed fanatical "rabbi" Smuley Boteach, placed ads defending Israel's murderous onslaught on Gaza. The terminology they used would have made Goebbels proud.
In short, Elie Wiesel has become a monster, in a very real sense.
I'm gratified to say that not every Holocaust survivor has dealt with their trauma by cowering in tribalism and spewing the kind of venom Wiesel does. Some of them have organized an open letter condemning Wiesel, Israel's assault on Gaza and the international community for supporting it. (more…)

The photo you see to the left was found by Jewish Voice for Peace on the Facebook page (since removed) of a group that named itself
"Am Yisrael Doreshet Nekama," in English, "The People of Israel Demand Revenge." The hashtag on the sign is similar, though with an important difference–the word "Am" is removed and it is "Israel Demands Revenge."
The photo has since gone viral, though not as its creators may have hoped. It has become a Twitter and Facebook symbol for Israeli racism. For me, personally, it is important that the hashtag removes the word "Am" because "Am Yisrael" commonly means the Jewish People, while "Israel" alone more commonly refers to the country.
But what's really important that people understand in the image is the driving force behind Israeli policy. Yes, these girls or young women may not yet even be old enough to vote or to serve in the IDF. But it doesn't take a very hard look to understand that they are not fanatical settlers. These are not orthodox young women, and just judging by their appearance and dress (which, it should be noted, is not conclusive), they are probably quite secular, mainstream Israelis, very much of the Tel Aviv culture.

An FAQ: How To Respond To Common Defenses of Opposition to PCUSA Resolution
Posted in BDS, tagged Americans for Peace Now, Anti-Zionism, BDS, Caterpillar, Divestment, Gush Shalom, Hewlett-Packard, J Street, Motorola, PCUSA, Peace Now, Peter beinart, Presbyterian Church USA, UNHRC, Western Sahara on June 13, 2014| 1 Comment »
There are very legitimate arguments about different kinds of Boycotts, Divestment and Sanction (BDS). Indeed, I have made many
of them myself. This is why I do not consider myself personally connected to the so-called "BDS Movement." But since the late 1990s I have been advocating for public, economic pressures on Israel to change its policies, because without such pressure it has no reason to do so. Like any other country, Israel makes difficult policy shifts only when the cost of the current policy clearly and unarguably outweighs the risk of change.
For these reasons, among others, I have been a strong advocate, for most of this century, for what become known as "selective divestment," although it can encompass other actions as well. Targeted actions, rather than sweeping calls to boycott anything and everything Israeli are, in my view, both more effective and more just. I had once hoped that this strategy would take broader hold, because I feared that otherwise, the entire notion of economic action would come to be identified with one segment of the pro-Palestinian/anti-occupation crowd—the more radical and anti-Zionist strain. While BDS is employed and supported by many anti-occupation activists, including not a few who consider themselves liberal or left-wing Zionists, my fear of how BDS would be identified has indeed come to pass. That sad event can be laid at the feet both of over-zealous BDS activists and at some ostensibly anti-occupation people and groups who really should know better. (more…)

I've been the owner of quite a few smelly cars in my time. I won't give you the complete history, but let's just say that every topic covered in this article is written from personal experience. I've dealt with odors from cigarette smoke to bodily fluids, including, but not limited to, vomit, deer blood, mucus, dog feces, calf scours, and urine of goat. I've had leaks around doors and left my windows open in rain storms. I've forgotten groceries under seats for weeks, and also had the nauseating realization that a mouse has died somewhere inside my vehicle. It all reeks, but it all can be cleaned up. Air fresheners are nice, but they only cover up the stink. To really get rid of a car smell, you need to get at the source, and that source is usually in the fabric itself.
Best Ways to Get Rid of Car Smells
Cigarette smoke really stinks. As a former smoker who polluted many a car with carcinogenic crap, I know that cigarette smoke isn't only stinky, it's also quite sticky in that it forms a resin on surfaces. That resin is called tar, and though it's not the same stuff that's used to pave roads, it does share a couple of similarities. The first step to removing this smell is to stop smoking in the car. Next, open all of the doors and windows on a nice, warm, windy day. Then go over every surface with a 50/50 water and vinegar solution. That should be able to cut through the resin. If you have trouble, add a couple of drops of dish soap to the mix. Allow to dry completely before closing the doors.
Mildew and wet carpet smells are gross. Another common car smell is caused by the fact that our cars drive through all kinds of weather. Car designers do a pretty good job, initially, with keeping the rain out of our cars. But a small bit of damage to a seal or one open window forgotten in a rain storm could mean that you have potential for mold growth. The best way to deal with this situation is to remove floor mats, soak up excess water, extract it from carpets and interior fabrics with a wet/dry vacuum, and set up a fan to keep air moving with all of the doors open. If the mildew has already done its damage, then you are going to have to do some shampooing. You could use a commercial product or the homemade recipe listed below.
Food smells aren't difficult to remove. The wiser among us probably have rules against eating in their cars. First of all, if you're driving, it's dangerous and might be illegal. But secondly, it's almost inevitable that you are going to drip or spill something. If you have cars like mine (not worth the rubber on their tires), this is the least of your worries, but if you are hoping to trade that car in at some point, you are really screwing yourself. Very often food smells go beyond drips and spills. More often it is related to an abundance of fast food wrappers, some of which might contain half-eaten sandwiches, a passed-over french fry, long-languishing lettuce, the gnawed on bones of a not-so-recently-fried chicken. Look under your seats. You need to throw that stuff away! Good grief.
Bodily liquids and other odors. Accidents happen, especially if you are the owner of a leaky Labrador, an intoxicated roommate, or a human child. Bodily liquids like urine, vomit, mucus, blood, and feces are potent pollutants that will sour the interior of any automobile. Besides their potential for infection and unavoidable ick-factor, they are also notoriously difficult to clean. You need to remove any solids and soak that stuff up right away. Absorbent powder is helpful in this kind of situation, but you could use paper towels, kitty litter, and/or baking soda if they are handy. If the liquid has dried, then you will need to scrape up the dried matter, rehydrate with water and vinegar, and extract with a wet/dry vacuum. Also check out enzymatic cleaners listed below.
New car smells are actually sort of poisonous. I've never personally experienced the scent of a new car and I probably never will smell a new car that I actually own, but I know it is not something to be idolized in the form of a scented tree. Those so called "new car smells" are called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), and they are the same smells common in refinished rooms and new houses. Carpet glue, chemicals from making vinyl, drying paints, and hardening plastics all do something called off-gassing. You really don't want to breathe that stuff; it's one of the things that causes sick building syndrome, and it is potentially carcinogenic. If you think you are having a problem, only time will solve it, but if I were you, I would lodge a complaint with the company.
Enzymatic Cleaners
If you've got a particularly potent car smell that is biological in origin, you should look into an enzymatic cleaner. I first heard about them when watching a documentary about crime-scene cleanup. If anyone knows how to get rid of car smells it's them! The cleaners use a combination of enzymes from bacteria that can break down starches, proteins, and fats. It's those types of things that keep odors sticking around your car. In fact, Amazon sells Greenwald's cleaner in a handy kit.
Petroleum and Exhaust Fumes
If you start to notice a faint scent of gasoline in your car and you haven't been spilling it on yourself, you should really bring your car into the mechanic as soon as you can. You probably have a leak somewhere in your fuel system. Obviously a gas leak has the potential to be dangerous in that it could cause your car to explode and kill you and everyone you love in a fiery ball of death. But it's also polluting, albeit on a small scale, and a waste of gasoline—which never seems to get cheaper. Petroleum fumes can also give you headaches and cause dizziness. So, too, can the fumes that leak from an old or damaged exhaust pipe. Exhaust fumes contain CO, or carbon monoxide, which can even kill you in high enough concentrations. Just bring it in and get it fixed!

Partisans on both sides of the health reform law have used small business to justify their positions. The National Federation of Independent Business was the lead plaintiff in the legal challenge that the Supreme Court ruled on today, upholding most of the Affordable Care Act, including the individual mandate. The White House defended the law as a needed fix to cover small business owners and their workers, who are insured at much lower rates than employees of big companies.
Now that Obamacare is alive and well, those businesses are largely ready to move forward. As David Rhoa, president of a family-owned direct mail business in Kalamazoo, Mich., puts it: "For me this is not a partisan issue. This is a business issue. I've still got a business to run. Tell me what's next."
Three months ago I wrote about Rhoa's struggle to figure out what his company, Lake Michigan Mailers, should do to comply with the law. It requires small businesses with more than 50 employees to provide insurance or pay a penalty, beginning in 2014. Yet a number of confusing conditions apply, and details still haven't been worked out. Rhoa wasn't sure if he should buy a more expensive plan than what the company now offers to its staff of 55. Or drop health benefits entirely and pay a fine, sending employees to buy their own coverage in state insurance exchanges. Thursday's ruling did nothing to clear up the confusion, Rhoa says. "What do I have to have? How do I calculate certain things? Those still remain unresolved."
Some small business owners will likely turn to the law's challenger for guidance. NFIB President Dan Danner said in a call with reporters that his group will "do everything we can to help our members" comply and will push to make the law work in their favor. The group will lobby regulators as they hash out the details and work at the state level to make the insurance exchanges friendlier to small businesses.
At the same time, the NFIB—which made its name in the 1990s defeating President Clinton's attempt at health-care reform—won't give up the bigger battle just because the High Court ruled in the Obama administration's favor. Danner said it would try to elect a Congress that might be able to repeal the law, or parts of it, such as the tax on health insurers, which he says would be passed along to small businesses. "We will redouble our efforts," Danner said. "There are parts of it we will never quit fighting."
