Who will speak up now?
A friend asked me to begin posting again, especially my recent sing-song scribblings, but I feel that the hastening of globally-interconnected suffering belies (my sense of) rhythm.
Surely, the everyday concerns of the People everywhere speak louder than I can.
The People on the reservations in South Dakota have been iced in and without power and water for weeks, and The People in Haiti are bracing themselves for a torrential rainy season with only leaky tents and tarps overhead. Many more, perhaps 1 million People, have merely the open sky.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Haiti's debt history includes paying reparations to slave owners. Soon after Frederick Douglass had served as U.S. minister and consul general to Haiti (from 1889-1891), he spoke at the World's Fair:
"We should not forget that the freedom you and I enjoy today is largely due to the brave stand taken by the black sons of Haiti ninety years ago … striking for their freedom, they struck for the freedom of every black man in the world."Here in California, where our so-called leaders employ the 15 billion dollar budget shortfall to legitimate the sacrifice of our most vulnerable residents without so much as a genteel, phlegmatic cough, who remembers, has been taught, and can speak enough of the People's History to see where California is headed?
As climate change heightens our responsibility to pursue social, political and economic change, who can learn the People's Present quickly enough to write?
But here's yesterday's crack at a poem.
How does a people become Indigenous?
When do they know it is time
to sink right down
and just let your roots grow?
When will all of the rest of us
Slow down and consider the
precisely Here?
Those who have been running
Around for centuries
Making civilizational Progress
and metaphysical pilgrimages
and calculating the consequences
from the Moon–
I mean, if I were made
Of mud and water!
Of fire and ice!
Of the wind spoken softly under the black sky
Punctuated by night stars!
I would feel like I belonged Somewhere.
I would feel like Somewhere belonged to me.

I just played a pretty cool game on the iPad. What do you think of it?
Silly question, eh? First you have to know what the game was, so that you could go play it yourself. Only then could we have a meaningful conversation about the game in question.
Let's try a different one:
What's your opinion of the first draft of my fantasy novel?
I know you've never read it, but I'm looking for meaningful critique. I need to know where I'm messing up and where I've got things right. So I'm eager to hear your point of view.
Ridiculous, isn't it? Not if you're the government.
Since government collection of data is all over the news this week, I'm going to assume your Google Fu is sufficient to find the applicable news stories.
I wish this was a surprise. The disclosure of information – that was a surprise, of course. But the idea that the government might be looking closely at the online activities of its citizens? Sadly, no, that's no great shock in post 9/11 land. Everyone's a potential threat, so everyone has to get monitored, because we MUST be secure, at any cost. Or so goes the logic, it would seem.
In response to the leaked information and the explosion of the story in the news media, the current administration's answer is that they "welcome debate on these challenging issues" or something similar.
Well, that's great.
But you can't debate what you don't know about, so that's a pretty empty statement. Sure, our elected Congressmen get to discuss it (at least some small number of them do), but again, we'll never know what gets decided and what points are made or left unsaid.
Given some quotes by Congressmen about seemingly basic subjects (i.e. "Guam might capsize if we put too many Marines on it" and "women can shut down pregnancy from rape" and so on), let's just say I'm not so sure that a good sensible discussion will take place. But I'll never know, so now I'm even more unsettled about it.
I get why. If we have a public debate about the means we use to collect intelligence on possible threats to American interests, those people are going to change their tactics. Now we'll have no information instead of whatever we might have gained, and they'll still be just as committed to their efforts against us, with little to stand in their way. So we really can't just call some town hall meetings to figure out what level and methods of intelligence collection John Q Public is going to approve.
And maybe to some extent it's our fault as a nation. When any terror event happens, there's an outcry asking why we didn't see it coming, why we didn't prevent it.
You can only do that with information, so you have to collect lots of information in the hopes of getting the little pieces of the puzzle that you need. But then you're treating the average American like a potential terrorist, in the hopes of preventing potential terrorism.
CNN featured a blog that referred to this newest round of scandal. It included a quote about this dilemma from former Director of NSA Michael Hayden:
Hayden went on to chastise what he called the "political elites" who criticize the intelligence community for not doing enough, but as soon as they feel safe, "pontificate that we're doing too much."
Reminds me of Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men. "On the other side of that firewall are Chinese hackers looking to damage American interests and terrorists looking to kill American civilians. Someone needs to be watching your chat with your wife on Facebook… someone needs to be looking at every video posted to YouTube… someone needs to read through those e-mails. You want NSA on that firewall. You need NSA on that firewall. You go to sleep under the blanket of freedom they provide and then have the audacity to question the manner in which they provide it?"
Yeah, I guess we do.
I know very few people who trusted the government even a couple years ago. And then there's all the Patriot Act style concessions, trading small liberties for a hoped-for but hard-to-prove increase in security. Plus there's incompetence like Fast and Furious, followed by the appearance of political targeting of American citizens in the IRS scandal. Add to that the appropriation of phone records and such by the Department of Justice against reporters. And now this.
Is it government of the people, by the people, for the people? Or is it government of the potential terrorists, against the potential terrorists?
Uncle Sam is quickly becoming the creepy old man that I wouldn't want anywhere near my kids. Too bad he has keys to all the locks on the house.

I've been trying to put together a battle report for Talomir Tales, but it is not coming together as quickly as i would like. A lot of stuff going on here so I can only work on it in dribs and drabs. I then have to remind myself where the story was going and try to make sense of the pictures.
I'd like to welcome another new follower, Alfons Canovas of Minaturas Militares por Alfons Canovas. He has some very useful looking uniform plates up. Napoleonic and early after a quick perusal.
Now I had intended to get back to posting more frequently, but as I mentioned, this battle report is not flowing from my mind as I would like. I'm also my usual restless self, and have been flitting about with afew other things.
We have an Axis & Allies 1941 game stagnating on the table and I have been thinking about the Call of Cthulhu RPG and getting back to a big game project that has been kicking around my head for awhile now.
What I do have to actually show is that I painted my green carpet mat to make it a little less shockingly green. So I used the same colors as my styrofoam battle boards. I started out by trying a garden sprayer that I bought at Home Depot for $6.27. But I didn't like how the first pass looked so I went with the artists sponge technique. I thinned down craft paint and Artist tube paint, some better than others and just blotted things on top.
|The whole shebang.

More news soon I hope.

Novi Sad, Serbia – Serbian designer Danijela Bozic wishes to hypnotize her clients this season with a seductive collection for Fall Winter 2015/16. Here she is taking incredibly bold risks with her aesthetics. And it is well worth it!
For those of us who have been following this designer's work over the past two years, this new work must be truly considered as her official coming out party.
This is a collection that is based on leather, velvet and laces. She opens the show with a series of cocktail dresses and gowns in black lace. Her laces are more modern. They somehow allow Bozic to explore her growing mastery of technique and variety.
The designer uses lots of embroideries to embellish her creations. She does that this season instead of relying on jewelry. They serve as a unifying element between the three sides of the collection.
The last part of the collection sees the designer introducing the velvets that shape the body. With them offers coat-dresses with bolero capes. We finally have the opportunity to most admire her embroideries.
Bozic finishes the collection with a divinely sculpted dress in green leather. It has cutouts and gold embroideries. The dress is perhaps her most bold creation to date.
Of all the young generation of Serbian designers, she is the one that has been most consistent in developing her ideas and expanding her universe all while simultaneously improving her technical savoir-faire by huge leaps and bounds!

I believe that paintings can affect the way you feel; they can sing out to you from across the room or quietly smoulder, waiting for you to get up close. As a painter I strive to interpret and translate my daily world using just paint on a surface. If small snippets of feelings appear in my paintings then I can consider this a small success. Small successes can and do sometimes build into amazing results.
Join me on my crazy journey of paint, people and imagination. It will be fun, often fast and furious and sometimes completely strange.
I am passionate about painting and love the challenge that each day presents at the easel. Follow me and my visual world - this is the journey.

Many we consider friends and together you give us incredible support that allows us to continue to run Mostly Books in one of the most challenging business environments: the High Street.
So, if you still have gifts to buy - or just want to pop in for bookish delights over the holiday period - we thought you might appreciate our opening hours between now and the New Year:
- Sat, Dec 20 (9am - 6pm)
- Sun, Dec 21 (11am - 3pm)
- Mon, Dec 22 (9am - 6pm)

Today is a continuation of our 2006 travel adventures. While we were in Nashville, Kathi broke a tooth and we were headed back to see her dentist in Deer Park, TX. Now, the story picks up about a week later.
On Tuesday, March 14, 2006 we left Shreveport on I-20 east, then southeast on US-79 to Carthage, TX, then TX-315 to Mt. Enterprise. We left Mt. Enterprise on US-259 and picked up US-59 south. We took the loops around Nacogdoches and Lufkin and stopped at the Rainbow's End RV Park in Livingston, TX. Rainbow's End was and is the home of the Escapees travel club and provides our mail service. The red-bud trees were blooming and the area around the park was lush and green. We took advantage of being there and picked up our mail, so we would not have to get it forwarded to us in Dickinson.
|Donkey near Rainbow's End
|Patriotic sign near highway 59
|Streetcar across from the Rainbow's End office
We only spent one night in Livingston, before moving again. Wednesday we moved into the Green Caye RV Park in Dickinson, TX. It was a short drive with not much traffic moving south on US-59 to Houston and familiar territory. The RV park was almost full. Not surprising, since a lot of turnaround in chemical plants and refineries was always going on. The park has paved roads and mostly paved RV sites.
We spent a good portion of Thursday outside cleaning basement compartments in our Alfa RV. It was almost impossible to keep the dust and dirt out. It was a great day outside and feeling the cool air made the work go fast. We had lunch at Luby's Cafeteria in Nassau Bay. Kathi had baked fish and I had a chicken fried steak with lots of gravy. Good food and not so good for my figure.
We spent the next few days around the RV Park reading and watching TV – just killing time until Kathi's dental appointment. She finally got to see the dentist on Tuesday, March 21st.The bluebonnets were in full bloom on Fairmont Parkway. They were so beautiful to look at on that sunny day. Dr. McGrath fixed her tooth on her first visit and we were free to travel again.
We took Kathi's mother and step-father to lunch the next day to say goodbye again. We ate at Gringo's on Underwood Road just north of Spencer Hwy. Kathi's mother was sad that we were leaving town again so soon. Kathi felt bad, but we needed to move. It was already in the blood.
We got up early Thursday morning and headed back north. We landed at the Mission Delores RV Park in San Augustine, TX. It was a lovely drive with bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush along the way. We felt that Texas roads had some of the best roadside scenery in the country in the springtime. The RV park only charged $7.50 per night. Perfect. We had seen all the sights we wanted to see in a couple of days. The weather was cool and sunny every day and it was pleasant to be outdoors, even if most of our sightseeing was done from inside the car.
We were RV travelers with a big emphasis on travel, so it was time to move along. Next we were going to Choudrant, LA to have Dick Albritton do some more RV repairs for us. One item was sealing the basement to keep dust and dirt out. Woo hoo.

Reds Sign Cuban Star Aroldis Chapman
I am not one to to lose my mind over baseball prospects. I don't really pay attention to the Major League Baseball draft. When the Washington Nationals gave Stephen Strasburg a boatload of money last year, I questioned the move. I usually want to see the kids play a few innings in the bigs before we put them in the Hall of Fame.
When a big name free agent hits the market, fans of "small market" teams seldom even care. That is because their favorite team usually has no chance of landing said player. The latest phenom to hit the baseball world is Aroldis Chapman, a 21-year old Cuban defector.
In a shocking move, the team that won the bidding war was none other than the Cincinnati Reds. Topping the Red Sox, Angels, Blue Jays and Marlins, the Reds offered Chapman $30 million for six years and he took it.
Should Reds fans be excited? Absolutely. This kind of acquisition is rare for a team like the Reds. They should be excited because the team is obviously trying to win and I believe they can compete in the National League Central. Of course, the chill of winter makes me optimistic about the Reds playing winning baseball in the summer months.
Will Chapman be in Cincinnati on Opening Day? Most people who have seen him play conclude that he is not ready for the big leagues just yet. He seems to be blessed with amazing, raw talent and has a fastball that has been clocked in the triple digits. Oh yeah, he is also left-handed.
I have no clue if he will be a star or not. Neither do you. However, I do know one thing. You can't teach someone to throw 100 mph. It is a God-given gift.
ESPN ran a fascinating story about Chapman several months ago. Escaping from your country is not something many of us can relate to.

Hmmm… I love chocolate milk.
And I read that having a glass of chocolate milk after a run is actually good for you! So I started drinking a (small) glass of chocolate milk after each training session. The result? I'm not loosing weight! Rats! So I think I'll keep with water until I start working on the higher milages.

The one thing I love about going on holiday is exploring new places, although I have been known to visit the same destination a few times, I like to go try new things to really take on the whole experience. On a recent trip to Lesvos, you can read my travel review of Petra here, we ventured out into the nearby village of Molyvos to dine on the harbour front, swim in lush infinity pools and to take in the incredible views!
On the north side of the island sits the quaint little town of Molyvos. Known for it's exception views and hiking spots you know you're in for a relaxing and unwinding break from normality. Dining on the harbour at one of the many restaurants such as The Captain's Table, we feasted on fresh fish and Ouzo whilst taking in the beautiful views. With after dinner drinks at Congo's Beach Bar, Molyvos ticked all the boxes for that mid-week exploring.
The one thing I learnt about Lesvos is that tourists go there year-on-year. We met a couple who had visited the same island thirteen times, and I was told "we're babies compared to other people." Great cuisine, break-taking views and super friendly locals, what's not to love! I can seriously see why people visit the island so much!

Why did the law fail Dhakiyarr Wirrpanda? Why did the events of Dhakiyarr's case unfold the way they did? The records of government are made by people and they are about people. Through them – if we can find the right questions – we can ask for explanations. Here we look at some of the people prominent in the events leading up to the trial and, through the records, unravel why the appeal for justice was heard.
The records on Dhakiyarr's case end in the mystery of his disappearance in Darwin in November 1934. But was that the end? In June 2003, 70 years after Dhakiyarr Wirrpanda speared policeman Albert McColl, the families gathered at the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory for a Wukidi ceremony that would free Dhakiyarr's spirit and enable reconciliation between the Wirrpanda and McColl families.
The official records held in the National Archives are not the only sources on the events in Caledon Bay. Since his disappearance, Dhakiyarr's family has continued to seek answers about his disappearance and tell the story of the 'olman' [old man]. Dhakiyarr's descendants, Dhukal and Wuyal Wirrpanda, have now given their story to the National Archives to be added to this website.
Public servants working for the Department of the Interior played key roles in Dhakiyarr's case. Between 1912 and 1978 the Northern Territory was administered by the federal government in Canberra. During the 1930s the Minister of the Interior was responsible for the Northern Territory and appointed a Northern Territory Administrator in Darwin. The Chief Medical Officer for the Northern Territory was automatically the Chief Protector of Aborigines.
Dr Cecil Cook was the Chief Protector of Aborigines during Dhakiyarr's trial and appeal. The Chief Protector was a position of great power and influence – both in the administration of the Aboriginals Ordinance and control over the daily lives of Aboriginal people themselves. As the only official empowered to mount an appeal on behalf of a Territory Aboriginal, Cook worked with Dhakiyarr's lawyer, WJP Fitzgerald, to prepare Dhakiyarr's appeal to the High Court.
In the years following Dhakiyarr's trial, Cook played a prominent role in a 1937 state and territory conference on Aboriginal administration. He argued for the removal of so-called 'half-caste' children from their families.
The other public servants with significant roles in Dhakiyarr's case were the senior officials of the Department of the Interior and the Northern Territory Administrator.
Colonel Robert Weddell was the Administrator when Constable Albert McColl was killed on Woodah Island in August 1933. Partly because of the long distance between Darwin and Canberra, the Administrator held a position of considerable local power.
He was responsible to the Minister for the Interior, JA Perkins, and in regular contact with senior officials of the Department, particularly Chief Clerk JA Carrodus and HC Brown. In 1934, when Dhakiyarr's appeal was heard in the High Court, Carrodus was acting Adminstrator in Darwin for six months and Brown was Chief Clerk of the department in Canberra.
Weddell, Carrodus and Brown triggered the public furore over initial reports that a large punitive expedition would be sent to Caledon Bay in response to the spearing of Constable Albert McColl.
Apparently after discussions with the police, three weeks after news of the spearing reached Darwin, Weddell asked Brown to equip a large force – 12 white policemen or civilians sworn in as special constables, and 12 Aborigines. They were to be armed with 20 rifles with 2000 rounds of ammunition, 12 revolvers with 1000 rounds, and four shotguns with 300 cartridges. 'Strong demonstrative force imperative', he cabled, 'as natives numerous, hostile and cunning'. The Groote Eylandt mission station, he asserted, was 'in imminent danger' (p. 159).
Such a large official punitive force had not been seen in Australia for 100 years. When Brown sought advice from Carrodus, he was told:
The party to be of any use, must be fairly large, because the abos [sic], having routed the first party, will be in high fettle and will certainly attack the second expedition ... I think we must do something, in view of the killing of a police constable. Otherwise the lives of all whites in the North East will not be safe (NAA: A431, 1947/1434, p. 188).
The government informed the press that 'a display of force was necessary to uphold the prestige of the administration', but the party would not fire except in self-defence. The Department recommended to the Minister that the ammunition Weddell requested be sent by first boat, but before the plans went any further, the Administrator should be asked to state what evidence he had of the identity of the murderers, and whether identification would be possible.
A few days later the Melbourne Herald reported that the Minister for the Interior had arranged for 'special supplies to equip a punitive expedition' to be 'rushed north'. But three days later, by 8 September, the small army proposed by Weddell had dwindled to a much smaller group of three police and four trackers.
What explains this about-face? Officials of the Department of the Interior, pushed by Northern Territory Administrator Robert Weddell, had incautiously given an in-principle approval to the massive armed expedition. While the records show that government officials in different departments and, crucially, different geographical locations had different priorities, the emergence of a large national and international protest against the proposed punitive expedition was a determining factor in the decision of their political masters to back down.
As Minister for the Interior from 1932 to 1934, John Perkins was the person responsible to the parliament and to the public for the actions of the Department of the Interior. His job was to balance the demands of voters in the Northern Territory (although their Member could not vote in the House of Representatives), the protests of lobby groups such as the Australian Society for the Protection of Native Races, the views of missionaries, the reports and recommendations of his northern officials, and the interests of Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory.
In the case of the proposed punitive expedition, it was not the appointed public servants, but the elected politicians who faced the political implications of the public seeing a punitive expedition as a re-enactment of the Coniston Massacre, carried out by settlers and a policeman in Central Australia only five years earlier.
The press played a critical role in escalating the controversy. While it took 10 days for news of Constable McColl's death at Woodah Island in eastern Arnhem Land on 1 August 1933 to reach Darwin, by the following day the story was carried in newspapers around Australia.
Different newspapers, even in the same city, had different views of events. The Melbourne Sun reported 'a strong feeling that the Arnhem Land Aborigines must be taught a severe lesson', and that in Darwin, experienced bushmen were ready and eager to form a patrol party to teach it.
A few weeks later the Australian press was headlining news that the government was preparing a punitive expedition. Some papers argued that the defence of the missionaries at Groote Eylandt was desperately needed, while others urged caution. But the facts were confused. A former Northern Territory Protector of Aborigines maintained that the Groote Eylandt mission was not in danger at all. To the politicians it was soon abundantly clear that public opinion was divided.
For Prime Minister Joseph Lyons and his Interior Minister John Perkins it may have felt as if the sky had fallen in. Sackfuls of letters, telegrams and reports of angry public meetings poured into Canberra. Archbishop Daniel Mannix, the International Labour Defence, Dame Mary Gilmore and the Amalgamated Postal Workers Union were among those protesting against the punitive expedition. Well known anthropologist Olive Pink encapsulated the feelings of many when she telegrammed:
Despite the emerging controversy, Minister Perkins was reported in the Melbourne Herald on 4 September 1933 to be ready to 'finally approve' the punitive expedition, and other ministers were also cited as supporting the plan. But the following day, the Herald quoted Perkins as being 'reluctant to set in train events which might lead to further bloodshed', and to be discussing the matter with Prime Minister Joseph Lyons.
By 6 September Perkins was asserting that he never had any intention of sending a punitive party. Two days later, reports appeared that a much smaller party of three police and four trackers was being organised.
Although the Minister for the Interior and the Prime Minister may not have been averse to some kind of show of force, mindful of national and international public opinion, they did not support the actions proposed by Weddell and certain other senior officers. The national (and international) priorities of the Prime Minister and his Cabinet ministers far outweighed the local priorities of the Northern Territory officials. Public protest was effective in preventing an armed expedition, large or small.
Another former politician, Stanley Melbourne Bruce, played a significant role in the decision against a punitive expedition decision. Bruce had served as Prime Minister from 1923 to 1929, but lost both government and his own seat in 1929. He was re-elected to parliament in 1932 and spent 1932–33 in London where he served Prime Minister Joseph Lyons as 'minister without portfolio'.
Bruce was appointed Australia's High Commissioner in London on 7 October 1933. A few weeks before he resigned his seat to take up the diplomatic position, the High Commissioner's office sent a coded telegram to the Prime Minister's Department seeking information on what was being described in the British press as a punitive expedition against the Caledon Bay Aborigines.
Asked for an explanation, Secretary of the Interior HC Brown sent his answer back to the Department of the Prime Minister immediately, but it was not until November that Bruce received the assurance that only two missionaries and a wireless operator would be sent to Arnhem Land, whose object was 'to get in touch with the Caledon Bay natives and endeavour to bring about a better understanding between them and the Government'. No police officers or private persons would be present.
In the interim, the High Commissioner was left to deal as best he could with erroneous reports like that in the London Daily Herald, which reported sensationally that a massacre in Arnhem Land had already taken place.
Much respected by senior members of the Lyons government, some of whom had been ministers in his own cabinet, Bruce's concerns and representations of British opinion were of particular significance, from the outbreak of controversy over the proposed 'punitive expedition' early in September 1933.
Missionaries also played a key role in the government's response to the spearing of Constable McColl. In 1933 the Groote Eylandt mission was the only one in eastern Arnhem Land, and served as a 'straw target' for alarmed reports of a possible Aboriginal uprising. Church representatives were nonetheless among those lobbying for a peaceful and cautious approach. Church missionaries Hubert Warren and Alf Dyer played a major role in events. By October 1933, the onset of the wet season, even the smaller police party was cancelled. The government began negotiations with the missionaries and in December a missionaries 'peace party', led by Warren and Dyer, sailed to Woodah Island to contact the Balumulu.
As a result, by the time the Department of the Prime Minister cabled London at the end of November to reassure the High Commissioner, the punitive expedition had become a peace party led by missionaries and intended no more than to 'reconcile' the Aborigines.
The sensitivity of politicians to press and public was also evident in events following Dhakiyarr's trial in the Northern Territory Supreme Court. The government's decision to appeal the death sentence followed and sought to pre-empt the International Labour Defence organisation from bringing an appeal.
It may be significant that the notice of appeal was issued by the High Court just two days before the federal election of 15 September 1934. Minister for the Interior John Perkins was one of six government members who lost their seats to Labor at this election. Perkins' successor, Thomas Paterson, headed the Department of the Interior during the High Court appeal and in the aftermath when Dhakiyarr disappeared.
Six judges were involved in Dhakiyarr's case. Judge TA Wells presided over the case in the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory. Five justices heard Dhakiyarr's appeal in the High Court of Australia.
Frank Gavan Duffy was the Chief Justice and joined with Owen Dixon, Herbert Vere Evatt and Edward McTiernan in writing one of the two court judgments on Tuckiar v. Rex. Owen Dixon later served as the Australian Minister to Washington (1942–44) and the Chief Justice of the High Court (1952–64). Evatt later served as Attorney-General and Minister for External Affairs in the Labor governments of John Curtin and Ben Chifley, President of the United Nations General Assembly (1948–49) and Leader of the Opposition (1951–60). McTiernan was a justice on the High Court from 1930 to 1976. Hayden Starke was the fifth justice hearing Dhakiyarr's case and wrote his own judgment. Starke was a High Court justice for 30 years (1920–50).
Thomas Alexander Wells presided over the Darwin trial of Dhakiyarr Wirrpanda in August 1934. He had been appointed to the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory a year earlier.
Although trained in Sydney, like many Darwinites he resented interference from the federal government in Canberra. He objected to the autonomy of the judiciary being overruled by the parliament or the executive government.
During the lead-up to Dhakiyarr's trial, the conflict between Wells and the public servants in the Department of the Interior became so acute that Interior Secretary HC Brown sent a coded instruction to Acting Administrator JA Carrodus, to report on Wells' courtroom comments: 'Could you arrange this without Judge's knowledge'. Accordingly, and unknown to Wells, Carrodus took notes at the trial. Today these are the only official record of what happened at the trial. (See the Carrodus notes in The case against Dhakiyarr.)
After Wells passed the death sentence on Dhakiyarr Wirrpanda the London Daily Herald, 8 August 1934, referred to him as Australia's 'Judge Jeffreys', a notorious 'hanging judge' in 17th-century England.
Stung by what he took to be government criticism of his remarks at the conclusion of Dhakiyarr's trial, he demanded a correction of the 'misrepresentation' from Prime Minister Joseph Lyons.
Criticism of Judge Wells did not end with Dhakiyarr's trial. The records in the National Archives contain several submissions seeking to remove Wells or prevent him from presiding over Aboriginal trials. There is no evidence of the government's response, but he served on the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory until 1952.
A recent assessment of Wells described him as 'last in a long line of strong-minded but eccentric Northern Territory Supreme Court justices' (Egan p. 198f).
This interview with Wuyal and Dhukal Wirrpanda was recorded at Dhurputjpi by Peter Read and Kate Bagnall in September 2004. Wuyal and Dhukal Wirrpanda are the grandsons of Dhakiyarr Wirrpanda. They live at the homeland centre, Dhurputjpi, in the same country as their grandfather. Now in their fifties, they were too young to know their grandfather, but they heard the story of what happened at Woodah Island from their grandmother, whom they call mother. She was one of Dhakiyarr's wives who was captured by McColl and was chained to McColl at the time of his death. She died in 1997.
The story of Dhakiyarr has never been forgotten by the Wirrpanda family. Rather, his life and disappearance have been frequently discussed. Young people are still shown the places where he lived and have the story explained to them.
Reader's note: he and she are commonly used interchangeably in Aboriginal English.
When we about about eight or nine years of age we started to hear of a bit of that olman, what happened to him when he was taken from Woodah Island and bring it in, and that's when the police get him and take him into Darwin. That olman's story.
She [Wuyal and Dhukul's grandmother] told us what happened at Woodah Island after Constable Albert Stewart McColl came to bring the trackers down to Caledon Bay. But they came to the wrong place. Boat landed [in a spot sheltered from the wind].
Dhakiyarr was sitting down with his people.
They [women] went out early in the morning.
Police came from other side of the island. Men came from Umbakumba [mission station]. Left their boat and walked up to the middle. Billabong in centre. Here. And our man [indicating Dhakiyarr's position on map] was here.
All they [police] could just see a fire way out from this end, they could see the fire on that island. So they went there to check, you know, check it out. They were looking for Caledon Bay, looking for Japanese was killed there. Policeman came round and saw a fire was burning on that island. When they got there, when they left their boat, they try to go by walking.
[The women were on the] other side of that island, little sort of a pond or something. They used to gather food there, fresh water, yam, lily root, they were gathering there, they didn't know what was going on. They thought that no one would come and visit them. They got a shock seeing those police came round there. Instead of go and asking them a question, they just go, and said to my mother,
you have to go and show us where all these men are.
[Did she tell you about the alleged sexual assault at Woodah Island? (in Parraner's committal hearing testimony)]
We haven't heard about trousers and all this. Mum didn't say [anything about that]. We were asking her to tell us the truth.
[Meanwhile] So it was later in the afternoon. Dhakiyarr was there sitting down on the beach with the other men. They was a bit worried about his daughter, our sister, she went with her mother. He was a bit worried and it was getting late. So he thought, he [our mother] told us.
I have to go and look around for my daughter and for my wife.
That's what Dhakiyarr said. So while he was walking he could hear my mum singing out to Dhakiyarr, Mum wanted to get help.
Come and rescue us!
And here he was, when he saw through the bush, and he could see all the ladies got chained up. Stewart McColl, he was in front with my mother, and he was at the other end of the chain. There was a couple of more womans. Just took ol woman, show where's your husband. Those woman knew the police wanted to show them where the men was. Pulling them with the chain. Mother was a bit scared, that's why she was calling out for help.
Dhakiyarr! Dhakiyarr!! Where are you? Show yourself!
He was start walking from there now, go and look. Never saw police boat, he was just worryin that his daughter was late. He was a bit worried for our sister.
I have to go and check what's happening.
A hundred metres away he heard our mother singing out.
Dhakiyarr, Dhakiyarr. Where are you?
He just walking very fast now, he know something was happening. He could see through those little bushes, and he can see the whitefeller handcuff walking. Little girl [our sister] on mother's shoulders.
Anyway, and he [Dhakiyarr] could see them.
Eh, what's going on?
And my mother, [sing out]
Dhakiyarr! Show yourself!!
When Dhakiyarr heard her singing out calling his name, he had this woomera, and he was pointing. He could see through the little bush.
Hey, that's a white man.
And he knew straightaway, that's the police. And our mother wasn't just looking around there, she was looking at every bush, and she could see the head of the woomera telling her to move. So here they were walking together, and all of a sudden our mother got away from that police, and when he [she] got away then he threw the spear, when it was clear. Forty-five metre.
And he got that spear and spear the police. And just got him.
And the other one [policeman] behind, he had a gun too, he was behind this other woman, make sure no woman escape, and the second spear got his hat.
[Dhakiyarr] bashed off the chain with a rock or something.
And Stewart McColl, when they finished stabbing that police, they dug a hole and buried him, and the spear was sticking out.
When those other tracker down the beach, they could hear gunfire. They were just looking round. Two days they were searching for him, couldn't find him. And the next, saw this spear sticking out.
[After killing McColl, Dhakiyarr's people] they got into a dugout canoe and they paddle to [another island called] Gunyuroo Island and sink their canoe, and women sent down to get water. Police couldn't find them.
What happened to Dhakiyarr after he was released from Fannie Bay gaol? Other [ie some] people say he was hanged, other people say that police shot him for revenge.
Kahlin Compound. That's where they left him there, that's what the other Aboriginal people was staying there. That's where they came round and got him. After we got to Darwin for this Wukidi ceremony, and after we were talking to this Ted Egan, and what Ted Egan heard, she was very old, she was a writer, they took him down to pictures or something, and this old lady was sitting down there and he heard a gun at that place, and that ol lady knew straight away. That was Dhakiyarr. We can't understand because of this story. When she heard that shot, she was looking round for Dhakiyarr – so she was at the pictures too.
He was tied to that tree and got shot and got burnt.
[Wuyal and Dhukal also spoke about the long range cause of the tragedy: the Gan Gan massacre, 1911. Gan Gan is in Dhakiyarr's mother's country.]
Gan Gan. He [ie Aboriginal people] was get shot here, on the river, and burnt them. And they get shot here on the river, didn't burnt them. It's a long story. And a sad story too. I know it's been told before. Because what they did was shot them and let them float in the water, river, make them lie everywhere, just left him there.
One of the trackers, he was from Roper River that feller. After they kill his sister, those Gan Gan people, because she was against the law. Sister, she was collecting firewood – they were telling stories, you know and this all this other old people said:
Oh that's the lady.
They were having men's ceremony, and this lady came up and disturb the men's ceremony, and they kill this sister. And this brother of the sister travel back to the river, and told [the police]:
Oh lots of Yulngu [Aboriginal people] at Gan Gan. I'll show you where they are.
Because he knows where those people, and he knows where to get them. Show the policeman. And then they were coming round now.
Oh you want some food, we'll give you food.
That's our grandmother's place, people that got shot. He [Dhakiyarr] could know their armbands, recognise them. Only two survive, they ran away.
After they heard that guns shooting here, at Gan Gan, they went over to give a room to the horse parties going up and down, so they went to Woodah Island so they can get safe there. He went to that island, he was going to sit there and have a peace, with his family, no disturb, and the policeman come up. Came round, and disturb his way of living. Straightaway came into his mind that Gan Gan shooting. That's what Dhakiyarr thought, because when they shot all those people, Gan Gan, that's his mother's people, so what came into his mind when the police came round there, the horsemans came round there, was in his mind, maybe Gan Gan [all over again] because they were shooting his mother's clan.
That was why, in his mind, was Gan Gan.
From November 1933 the Balumulu were waiting for Dhakiyarr to return home. Lots of Balumulu people were waiting for him at Roper River, waiting for every vehicle. Those three sons of Wungu, when they got out, they were safe to get home. When Donald Thomson took those three, when they went back. Wungu also asked his sons – they didn't know.
[About the Wukidi reconciliation ceremony in Darwin, June 2003.]
That's when we asked for a real reconciliation with the McColl family. It's happening now. They [the modern day McColl family] help us, paint all our rooms, made us a cupboard, show us how to make a fence. About 10 of them. Working closely together.
They all went back red from mosquito.
So how we going to find out that truth now? Where is he now?
We don't know.
We don't know.
Only God knows.
[Is he resting in peace?]
Yes. Which area he is now, he rests in peace. All the ceremony that he left, behind, it's in our hands.
[On McColl's grave]
We want it to say, 'Killed by Dhakiyarr', not 'an Aborigine'.

Tele-ICUs: The Future of Medicine is Here (Actually Somewhere Else)
By Tyler Goldberg-Hoss
The use of telemedicine in the intensive care setting is a relatively new phenomenon and rare in Washington State. However, as our population ages, the burdens on our ICUs will go up and if there is not a corresponding increase in critical care and intensivist physicians to meet this need, we may be seeing more such systems in place.

Colon, it's rare that a word might be used interchangeably to relate to punctuation and intestines, they don't seem too related, so what's going on here?
Colon, as in the punctuation mark, dates back to Latin, before this, we have references from 1540 where it was used to mean part of a poem, it came from the Greek word 'kolon' which meant the same thing.
Colon, as in the intestine, also comes from the Greek 'kolon', not only was it used to mean part of a poem, it was also used to mean part of the body, how it came to only relate the intestine is unclear, but the Greeks used it to mean part or section.

What's wrong with the youth of today? The adults will forever wonder but the youth speaks of the kind of parenting we have all created showing at Cinemalaya X's Best Cast Ensemble #Y. The grand press conference held last Wednesday attended by Elmo Magalona, Sophie Albert, Kit Thompson, Slater Young, Chynna Ortaleza and Coleen Garcia with director Gino M. Santos explained the movie running on hashtag Y reflecting the trending attitude of the youth on social media YOLO-You Only Live Once. The story is about four friends with different struggles in life being rich with the main character Miles (played by Elmo Magalona) contemplating on suicide.
#Y produced by TimeFrame Productions and Stained Glass Productions written by Jeff Stelton seemed like Pinoy style of "American Pie" inspired by director Gino M. Santos' memory of a friend who committed suicide in college. I didn't have a chance to ask what other alternative titles they would have for the film considering the dysfunctional characters playing in the film but Mr. Mario Bautista shed light confirming the real suicide with director Gino M. Santos. What happened to the characters and what struggles did they have to face that contributed to the brilliance of this film? Will Miles (Elmo Magalona) survive the suicide attempt? What did the parents do to make these kids suffer in distinct anxieties? Let's all find out on December 10, 2014 at all cinemas nationwide. For more information, please visit www.starcinema.com.ph, like their official Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/StarCinema and follow @starcinema on Twitter and Instagram for more updates.

When you hear that your child needs braces, you may automatically worry due to the cost. There are options to help reduce the cost of dental braces. In some cases, children only need either upper or lower braces. In instances where top and bottom braces are required, inquire to see if one set could be done now and the other later to make it more affordable.
Shop Around
Your dentist may not be the most affordable for braces. It is a good idea to contact several dental offices in your local area. Inquire about the cost of exams and the total cost for out-of-pocket dental braces. Inquire with each office to see what types of braces are available. Also consider shopping for discounts on coupon websites such as Groupon. Discounted services or percentages off may be available.
Dental Insurance
Dental insurance is not expensive. It costs a fraction of what general health insurance costs. While the entire cost of braces is not covered, most plans do cover at least 50-percent. You will be responsible for making the payment on the costs left over after insurance.
With most dental insurance plans the exam and a cleaning are free, requiring no co-pay.
For expensive procedures like braces, root canals and dental implant procedures, the expense is more than the immediate funds available for most families. A good portion of dental offices have financing available. You will be required to complete an application. If you have poor credit, your application for financial assistance may be denied.
In the event that you are denied by an outside finance company referred by the dental office, ask if your dentist's office has an in-house financing program. A down payment is likely going to be required, but you will be able to make affordable payments should you qualify for the in-house program.
Cash Pay Discount
If you do not have dental insurance, you may be able to receive a discount for braces through the dental office itself. Most medical and dental practices offer discounted rates for those that must pay cash. While the cost may still likely be more than you have available on-hand, a payment plan may be able to be arranged so that you or your child is able to have comfortable teeth that also look straight and centered when smiling.
Consider Additional Options
Many people are choosing invisible braces and items like Invisalign. These are more expensive. Traditional braces are more cost-effective. The bands on traditional braces can be customized for personal preference too. Using a different color band on the braces is not typically an additional cost.
Final Thoughts
Braces are typically kept on the teeth for several years, with 3 years being an average amount of time. Regular dental visits are required to check the alignment of the teeth and make adjustments to the braces. Tightening occurs more during the end of the period of time the braces are scheduled to be on. This can cause some discomfort when it comes to eating, so stick to soft foods for a day or two after the braces are tightened.

Here's an excerpt from the email I received this morning from my brother
We wearily got back last night… what a trip! Every airport that we walked into had a reception of hundreds of people cheering, applauding, waving flags and shaking our hands...... We were on TV and actually had a news crew with us that will, I understand, put out a CD of the entire thing. Lots of stories to tell
You'll be seeing more photos and stories about this event as the summer unfolds. I'm so glad my brother made this happen for my dad...what an honor!

An intensity enhancement of the green upconversion emission from a codoped Er3+ -Yb3+ fluoroindate glass has been obtained by coating the glass surface with silica microspheres (3.8 µm diameter). The microspheres focus an incoming beam (λ ≈950 nm) on the surface of the fluoroindate glass. The green emission (λ ≈545 nm) of the Er3+ ions located in the microsphere focus was measured with a microscope in reflection mode, being the peak intensity 4.5 times the emission of the bare substrate. The transversal FWHM of the upconversion spot was experimentally determined by deconvolution with the experimental Point Spread Function of the system, obtaining a value of 309 nm. This value is in good agreement with Finite-Difference Time-Domain simulations taking into account the magnification of the image due to the microsphere.

GLCD 5206 – Non-Stop To Nowhere
GLCD 5206 – Non-Stop To Nowhere
Memory Lane – Winter 2013
The title "Non-Stop To Nowhere" had me initially confused and I had to turn to David Ades copious notes to establish that this CD is "simply an assortment of all kinds of Light Music" with many of the 26 tracks requested by Guild's army of fans. The title piece turns out to have been composed by Tony Hatch who later became better known in the field of popular music. Philip Green pops up again with a super version of a tune much loved by jazz players, Poor Butterfly. Andre Previn, who is at home with any kind of music from jazz to symphonic, is represented with his composition for the film The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Good also to find included a composition by Van Phillips titled Twinkle Toes and to hear again the piano magic of Rawicz and Landauer, who perform Ballad Of The Sea backed by the orchestra and chorus of Robert Famon.

Auburn Shooting Suspect Desmonte Leonard Under Arrest in Alabama
(MONTGOMERY, Ala.) -- The man suspected of a triple murder near Auburn University over the weekend has surrendered to U.S. marshals, a law enforcement official told ABC News.
Desmonte Leonard, 22, was arrested Tuesday in Montgomery, Ala., a law enforcement official said.
On Monday, Alabama police believed they missed Leonard by minutes when they arrived at a house where he was reported to be hiding.
Investigators from local, national and federal levels had been searching for Leonard around the clock since he allegedly opened fire at a party near Auburn University on Saturday night, killing three people and wounding three others.
The manhunt initially proved fruitless and maddening for the officials, though they suspected he was in Montgomery, where they believed he fled after the shooting.
Leonard was wanted on three counts of capital murder.
Two former Auburn football players, Ladarious Phillips and Ed Christian, and another man identified as Demario Pitts, died in the shooting.
Auburn football players Eric Mack, Xavier Moss and John Robertson were wounded, Auburn Police Chief Tommy Dawson said.
Robertson was undergoing surgery for a gunshot wound to the head and "fighting for his life," Dawson added.
All six victims were younger than 21 and police have said that the men were not targeted for being football players, but were simply at the wrong place at the wrong time.
The search seemed to be coming to an end on Monday night when a woman said she walked into a house and saw a man believed to be Leonard sitting on the couch. She called 911 and dozens of officers responded to the scene.
The house was tear-gassed and police technology seemed to indicate some movement in the house, but when a SWAT team finally entered the home, Leonard was nowhere to be found.
"We would not have put the resources out there if we did not fully believe he was there. Once we got there, we fully believed he was still there," Montgomery Director of Public Safety Chris Murphy said at a news conference Tuesday.
Authorities said there was a gap of between 15 and 20 minutes from when the 911 call was placed to when officers arrived.
Police said they believe Leonard does have a connection to the house, but not with the woman who claimed to have seen him there. Police would not specify the connection, but said it was not a family member's home.
"It's hard for us to discern exactly when he left and exactly when we arrived," Montgomery Police Chief Kevin Murphy said at the news conference. "It's very close."
The house search was not the first time this week investigators have hit a dead end.
Earlier this week, Gabriel Thomas, 41, and Jeremy Thomas, 18, were arrested and charged with hindering prosecution in the search for Leonard.
Gabriel Thomas allegedly had contact with Leonard and then provided misleading information in the search, according to police. And Jeremy Thomas allegedly fled with Leonard the night of the shooting. Police would not comment on whether the two men are related.
"We also want to emphasize that if you call any of these law enforcement and give deliberate false information to send us in a direction away from capturing this suspect -- we've already taken out two warrants and we'll take out as many as necessary," Murphy said.
Police are looking for the person who reported dropping off Leonard at the house in Montgomery. Authorities say they know who the man is, but would not release any more information about him or his possible involvement in the matter.

The chill is still in the air and the snow lays heavy. Chocolate mugs are still steaming and can be seen in the hands of people all over the world. Most of the States, especially the Eastern ones, are facing freezing to sub-freezing temperatures and we wish them to stay warm and out of the harm's way.

Toyota is in the midst of some serious damage control – quite literally.
The maker took a beating earlier this year when several models were slammed for their poor performance in the new "small overlap" crash test established by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. That meant the best-selling passenger car in America might lose its IIHS "Top Safety Pick" endorsement while influential Consumer Reports, notably, yanked its "Recommended" rating for the midsize sedan.
Toyota officials have been frantically trying to downplay the significance of the poor showing by a variety of models that also included Corolla and Prius – while also noting that they're far from the only ones who've been hurt by doing poorly in the new IIHS test.
Indeed, that was a key reason why the number of models that the Insurance Institute this week awarded "Top Safety Pick" and "Top Safety Pick Plus" awards plunged to 39 from 130 last year.
Significantly, Camry was named a top pick and Prius got the vaunted rating. Meanwhile, Consumer Reports has put Camry back on its recommended list. But there's a footnote here. The IIHS pointedly noted that only Camry and Prius models produced since November qualified.
What happened? First, it helps to understand what the small overlap crash test is, and why it's become so important. The test is meant to replicate a common type of real-world crash, 25% of a vehicle's front end on the driver's side striking a rigid barrier at 40 mph. This is basically what happens when the front corners of two vehicles collide, or when a car clips a tree or utility pole.
(Click Here to see the 39 "safest cars in America.")
While most manufacturers have done an admirable job of developing crash structures that can deal with more traditional tests – like a dead-on strike into a barrier or a slight off-center impact – the small overlap test is like a knee to the groin, striking where most vehicles are most vulnerable. Until recently, only a handful of models were designed specifically to absorb such an impact – in part because it can be so difficult to engineer around. But it also require more steel and the added mass has a negative impact on fuel economy.
But with IIHS – and now Consumer Reports – making such a point of holding makers accountable, the industry is racing to respond. That's particularly true for Toyota. So, while brand boss Bill Fay last week tried to downplay the setback, noting that Camry was "still a 5-star car" according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the maker already had a fix in production.
And while it didn't match the crash test results of some of its competitors, the post-November Camry scored well enough to get back into IIHS's good graces. In turn, Consumer Reports gave back the Recommended endorsement.
(Louisiana claims the dubious honor of having America's worst drivers. Click Here to see how your state fared."
"New models developed with this test in mind have had a decided advantage over older models, such as the Camry, that were engineered before the small-overlap test was introduced," the magazine states. Noting modifications have been made to the underlying structure of the Camry, boosting its test results from "Poor" to "Acceptable," the publication went on to say, "This improvement is enough…to reinstate our recommendation."
A similar redesign for Prius has put the hybrid back in the good graces of both IIHS and Consumer Reports. But the two organizations have yet to put several other models back into their good graces, CR pointing to the Toyota Prius V and RAV4, and the Audi A4 as vehicles that lost endorsements by failing the small overlap test.
Expect to see the entire line-up re-tuned, so to speak, to pass the new test in the near future, several Toyota officials promised during a visit to Detroit earlier this month.
Toyota is by no means alone. A number of other new models, including the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, were not designed with the new test in mind and will have to be modified accordingly or risk alienating safety-minded buyers.
