Our Indooroopilly team have done an outstanding job of this major renovation.
This house was originally built in 1938, it was time for major alteration and facelift to bring it back to life. Being a character house, a full demolition was not an option.
The house was raised, slid to the left and then restumped. The following works were then undertaken:
* Full alteration of the upper level including the removal of a few load bearing walls and building new internal walls
There's so much to think about when you undertake a renovation project. It takes serious
planning and preparation - but the satisfaction of creating a space that's completely bespoke for you and
your family makes it so worth it! These tips will serve as a great starting point for those about to start this
The time you spend up front planning, researching, looking at ideas, designs and products will save you
There are so many considerations and decisions with any renovation project. Once all the plans and the structural work is sorted, it's a good idea to start to thinking about how you want the finished product to look. The interior of your project needs careful planning and consideration too to ensure the finished spaces work for you and your family - and that your finished renovation is one you love! Here are 10 tried and true tips for a designer finish for your home.
A massive transformation has taken place on the Gold Coast! A typical Queensland home has been given new life by the Smithy team. Some of the work included a carport extension including new driveway, boundary walls and carport timber partition screen & gate. Front & back Timber Merbau deck/patio with Merbau battened laserlight roof, complete with LED lighting. Cedar Bi-Fold doors and windows at front and Merbau posts & glass fence to pool. Check out all the photos below!
The transformation is absolutely stunning! Our clients wanted to renovate their existing deck into a beautiful new deck and pergola, so they could entertain friends and family all year round and in all weather conditions! We used a Silvertop Ash hardwood for the decking and I'm sure you would agree, the finished product looks fantastic. We swapped their french doors for a more modern sliding stacker door which open the home up and provides a seamless flow between indoors and out. This coastal home now has the perfect space to entertain, rain, hail or shine!
Revitalisation is defined as giving new life or to give vitality or vigor. This is the perfect way to describe our reno of the week in Dural. It had lost its vigor through no fault of its own but was offered new life by the Smithy team. The team renovated a tired three-way bathroom and ensuite into spaces that soothe and reviatlise the soul. This is another one that we are extremely proud! Check it out!
Normally fashion is reserved for industries such as apparel, however a dream reno is both functional and fashionable.Our Reno of the Week combines these two elements beautifully. This Mackay home is an excellent statement. Like in fashion your home can be an expression of both your passion and fashion. Creating a beautiful home takes talent which is learned by experience. The Smithy team not only have all the qualifications but also have the passion to bring your fashion and passion into your home.Check it out here!
A spectacular bathroom can make the difference between someone buying and not buying a property. It can also create a modern-day cocoon like space in your home to relax and unwind. This week we are featuring a high end bathroom in Hornsby for our reno of the week. Although small in space the Smithy's team didn't cut any corner's making it high end and luxurious. Check out this masterpiece!
The Smithy's team can do almost any renovation project, that's why from time to time clients request for us to build their whole home! This week's Reno of the Week is a new build in Kew. This home has all the comforts of modern living, big, open, airy, living spaces which are perfect for friends and family to move about between the areas seemlessly. Open plans are also a smart way to bring light into a room. Check it all out here!
Ugly, steep, small, unused space, were all words used to describe this backyard. Not Anymore!
This week's reno of the week is a Backyard Blitz of a Highhate Hill property in Ascot. Let's face it, a large part of being able to enjoy the warm Australian summer is having a backyard barbeque and deck/lounge patio area in the backyard. The Smithy's team transformed this challenging space intoa beautiful and very functional garden, entertaining, carport and storage area. This is another one we are very proud of!
Our reno of the week is a kitchen extension in Narre Warren. The kitchen is the "engine room" of the home and it's where we normally spend most of our time. Some people like to call it the "heart" of a home. This is why the kitchen needs to be both useful and aesthetically pleasing. In this renovation the team did a great job of employing concepts such as ergonomics, design, and functionality. Have a look at this dream kitchen!
Just like the classic song " A bicycle built for two", we are presenting this "Ensuite built for two" in New England North as our reno of the week. This is a perfect example of turning the ensuite, which is often overlooked, into a private retreat. The goal being to create your very own luxurious spa getaway. Space is often the biggest obstacle that has to be overcome when renovating and designing an ensuite.The team made good use of this small space to create their own in home paradise!
Take a look at how this Berwick kitchen and butler pantry reno turned out.If you like to entertain but are tired of cooking and making a mess in front of your guests, then a butler's pantry may be a great solution for you and it definitly works a treat here. This large kitchen/dinning and living area flows perfectly now for entertaining and living. We are big fans of how this one came out!
Come on in and have a look at this charming Beaconsfield upper level extension!
To top it off this project has been nominated as a finalist in the 2014 HIA awards for renovations under $300,000. The HIA Awards are for HIA members in recognition for outstanding workmanship, design and innovation in the dwellings they build or for their professionalism on and off the worksite.
This South Brisbane home in Ascot underwent a full reno and the finished product is absolutely stunning! Even though they didn't know exactly what they wanted The Smithy team was able to work with the owners and come up with a fantastic result. "The team was always ready to offer ideas that they thought we may like or to discuss and make the changes that we wanted".

Smith & Sons Renovations & Extensions have now opened in the beautiful Brisbane suburb of Morningside.
Franchise owners Carwyn and Susan Butler have been proud residents of the Morningside area for around 13 years.
"I have been building all over Brisbane for about 14 years, so this gives me a good amount of experience with the different types of renovations that happen in the area," Carwyn said.
"The Morningside/Bulimba area is full of history, with the older houses, rich stories. Living in the Bayside…what is not to love, close to beaches, Stradbroke Island, close to city without the city rush."
James & Gregory Gordon, a father and son building team are set to take on Smith & Sons Caloundra on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
"Both James and I love the vibrant community with extensive opportunities, plus the fantastic beaches", said Greg.
"We have been around the area for around 12 years now and think this is the best time to get involved in a substantial building business".
James is married to Judy, and has three great children, Greg being one of them, who has his own three children as well. James has been involved in the building game for around 40 years now, giving him the experience necessary to do a first class job on any home renovations. Greg has around 16 years experience in the building trade.
People living on Queensland's beautiful Gold Coast have another reason to smile with Smith & Sons now ready to renovate!
Neil and Jane Whittred and their two children, locals for nearly 10 years, have joined the Smith & Sons team as franchise owners on the Gold Coast.
"We just love living and working on the Gold Coast", said Neil.
"The combination of the outdoor lifestyle, a great climate, friendly people and family close by are just sensational".
Enlarging it's already expansive network of franchises in Sydney, Smith & Sons have added a new member to the team in Castle Hill.
Warwick Wright, an accomplished builder in his own right, took on the Smith & Sons franchise late last year. Warwick is married to Kim, and they have two children.
"What I really love about the Castle Hill area is being close to my family and friends, and it is a family friendly place which is a fantastic environment to raise the kids", Warwick said.
Smith & Sons continues to grow their network of professional renovation builders with the Cairns franchise area now in operation.
Damien and Anna Hyde, who have been living and building in the Cairns region for around 7 years, have recently joined the Smith & Sons fold.
"We just love the Cairns climate and lifestyle", said Damien when asked why they consider Cairns to be the place the live for them.
"Before I was in Cairns though, I travelled quite a bit with work. I was predominantly working on high end custom built residential projects. I gained a lot of experience in a variety of construction methods and techniques travelling and working all over Australia and the world."
Smith & Sons has expanded its operations further afield in Queensland with the addition of a Mackay franchise.
Local builders Brett & Leah Hargreaves have joined the Smith & Sons team and are looking forward to a bright future. Moving to Mackay a few years ago, Brett and Leah fell in love with Mackay.
"We moved to Mackay from country Wagga Wagga NSW in September 2009 so we have been here 5 years this year" Brett said.
"We love the climate- from the nice hot balmy summers to the beautiful but not too cold winters! Also the laid back relaxed atmosphere that is Queensland".
Smith & Sons Southern New South Wales has expanded recently with the addition of a Smith & Sons branch in Alexandria, in Southern Sydney.
Aaron Moore, who has lived in Sydney for 33 years, has been in the industry for over 17 years and has plenty of experience in all types of renovations and constructions.
Smith & Sons Renovations & Extensions are proud to introduce Shane and Leigh Mutch as their newest team members - taking on the Rockhampton and surrounding areas.
Shane is an accomplished builder with 28 years' experience in the building industry.
"I completed my apprenticeship in Chinchilla Qld under my father doing new homes, renovations in towns and properties in the western areas like Toowoomba, Warwick, Goondiwindi, and Dalby to Roma and surrounding areas. Since then I have worked in many other places such as Central QLD, Caboolture, Bribie Island, north side of Brisbane and Sunshine Coast" said Shane.

Mike Van Abel Hired as IMBA Executive Director
Mike Van Abel, a former national vice president for the American Diabetes
Association, has been selected to head the International Mountain Bicycling
Association (IMBA). Mike was picked from a field of more than 350
candidates, following a nationwide search conducted by T. Malouf & Company.
He replaces long-time IMBA executive director Tim Blumenthal, who recently
assumed the top role at Bikes Belong, the bicycle industry's trade
Hill Abell, president of IMBA's board and owner of the Bicycle Sport Shops
in Austin, Texas, said, "We couldn't be happier that Mike has accepted the
position. He brings outstanding skills to the job - from advocacy and
lobbying to fundraising and nonprofit leadership."
Originally from Green Bay, Wisconsin, Mike received his B.S. in Biology and
Soil Science in 1979 from the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point. For
the next eight years he worked for the YMCA, ultimately becoming an
associate executive director in Colorado.
In 1986 Mike joined the National Multiple Sclerosis Society to manage a
major federal grant program. He was soon promoted to a national staff
position where he oversaw numerous aspects of the organization - from
managing operations in several regional chapters to supporting events such
as the MS150 bike ride.
Mike was recruited to the American Diabetes Association in 1994 as an
affiliate services director, and was later appointed executive director of
the Colorado affiliate. When the ADA embarked on a massive restructuring in
1998, Mike was promoted to the position of national vice president. In this
role he guided and grew the Mountain and Pacific regions, while concurrently
leading the national rollout of the highly successful Team Diabetes marathon
training fundraising campaign as well as Oregon's Summit to Surf cycling
Mike lives in Broomfield, Colorado, with his wife and three children. An
avid outdoor enthusiast, Mike enjoys it all - including cycling, running,
hiking, camping, skiing, snowshoeing and canoeing. He will begin work as the
IMBA executive director on Oct. 18.

Why Build Your MLM Business on the Internet?
Saturday, January 19th, 2008
I don't know about you, but when I was told about MLM, they stated that it was a home-based business. In the first 5 years, I saw so little of home, I thought I was doing it all wrong.
I wanted the leverage and freedom that MLM provides, but I also wanted to be able to stay home and do it.
The internet wasn't what it is today, back in the early 90's, so you can kind of say, I was a pioneer of the early internet. The stats when I got on were about 60M who spoke English and there weren't even 1 Million websites. Everyone had dial-up. Banner ads were just getting popular, people talked on IRC, and email lists were just starting.

The death of Robin Williams on Monday came just a few months after his return to TV in what was one of the big entertainment stories of last year.
After winning an Oscar for "Good Will Hunting," carrying a rash of hit films and starring in comedy specials for HBO, the improvisational wizard had come back to the place where it all began: network television.
The entertainer was cast in "The Crazy Ones" as the head of a Chicago-based advertising agency who butts heads with his daughter and protegee, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar.
The show teamed TV icons from different eras — Williams, who launched his career in 1978 with "Mork & Mindy," and Gellar, who rocketed to stardom during the late 1990s and early 2000s as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
Giving the prospects for success an extra boost was its executive producer, David E. Kelley, the writer and producer behind several hit dramas, including "Picket Fences," "Chicago Hope," "The Practice," "Ally McBeal" and "Boston Legal."
Though the mix of Williams' off-the-cuff stream-of consciousness humor and Kelley's formula of dry humor and topical story lines seemed like an offbeat mixture, CBS was sure that Williams still had the star power to attract a large audience.
In a session at the Television Critics Assn. summer gathering to promote the series, Williams was characteristically upbeat during a panel discussion that included Kelley, Gellar and other cast members. Though he fired off fast quips, he appeared to make a special effort to involve his colleagues in the discussion.
Asked to compare today's crowded TV landscape with the three-network era of "Mork & Mindy," Williams joked, "Well, I mean the last time I was on TV, 'wired' meant a gram and a bottle of Jack Daniels."
In a later interview in the Los Angeles Times, Williams said: "When I started off, there were only three networks. Now there are hundreds. Everybody has their own network. With regular television — not cable — it's interesting to see what you're up against and what you have to do to find an audience."
Kelley, Williams said, had incorporated aspects of Williams' life into his TV character, including rehab and divorce.
Though Gellar usually was the lead in her TV series and movies, she appeared to be fine with playing a supporting role to Williams.
"I don't know if Robin makes me a better parent, or being a parent makes me a better actor opposite Robin, because it's kind of the same thing, which is I have to keep a straight face," she said. "So it's sort of like when my 3-year-old says something really inappropriate and it's really funny but I can't laugh. That's kind of like working with Robin."
Asked during the session what made him happy, the actor replied, "My family, work ... and creating."
"The Crazy Ones" got off to a good start when it premiered, attracting more than 15 million viewers in fall 2013. CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler was pleased. She told the Wall Street Journal that Williams' co-stars were revving up their line deliveries to keep up with Williams.
"Robin is literally a force of nature," Tassler said. "We wanted the other cast members to settle into their own rhythms and tempos."
For a while, it looked like CBS had another comedy hit with "The Crazy Ones." In the first three weeks, the show averaged 12 million total viewers
But despite the promising start, the audience steadily declined. In its 9 p.m. slot, the series was in a precarious position, competing against ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" with no hefty lead-in to give it a boost.
To give the show a lift, "The Crazy Ones" staged a stunt and brought on Williams' "Mork & Mindy" partner, Pam Dawber, as a guest star. The episode marked Dawber's first acting role in 14 years. The stars had seen each other only a few times since the end of "Mork & Mindy" in 1982.
In an interview with TV Guide, the two said they had recaptured their old chemistry. "It's like we never left," said Williams. "And she looks the same." He praised Dawber, who had complained that Mindy was never really developed as a character.
"But you made the show work," Williams said. "You made it safe for me. You were incredible."
Still, "The Crazy Ones" never really caught fire. The show ended its 22-episode run averaging about 8 million viewers. Though it had a loyal following, the series didn't quite meet the network's expectations for a show headlining Williams, and it was not picked up for a second season.
"Our world has lost a comic genius, a gifted actor and a beautiful man," said a statement from CBS. "We will remember Robin Williams as one of the unique talents of his time who was loved by many, but also as a kind, caring soul, who treated his colleagues and co-workers with great affection and respect. Our heartfelt thoughts and sympathies go out to his family, loved ones and friends."

The Weehawken Station/Bergenline Avenue Rail Station, Design Unit portion of the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail Transit (HBLRT) System, involved development of 20.5 miles of new light rail service. This development included stations; park-and-ride facilities; bridges; viaducts; retaining walls; overhead catenary power systems; operating systems; and equipment maintenance facilities.
The overall project extends from the south at 5th Street in Bayonne, New Jersey to the North Bergen Park & Ride, and is divided into several design units. Except for short approach sections at the downstation and upstation ends, the project route is situated almost entirely within the tunnel. Between the Weehawken and North Bergen Portals, the tunnel passes beneath the City of Union City, New Jersey, roughly paralleling 48th and 49th Streets. A new underground station is located at Bergenline Avenue, with a new shaft and ground level station headhouse facilities.
O'C&L has prepared an extensive schedule analysis in support of a claim for approximately $150 million.

Fourty one ramblings

- Tina ~ Seaside Stitches said...
Happy Birthday! I've lived with 13 year olds and it's not fun. Fortunately, it doesn't last long! They do come out the other side.
- January 15, 2013 at 11:29 AM
- Michele said...
Happy birthday! I hope your day is filled with fun.
- January 15, 2013 at 11:34 AM

A very Happy Birthday to you Dana!!! I hope it's a spectacular one for you. :) Enjoy everyone being home with you.

- Mary on Lake Pulaski said...
Happy Happy Birthday Dana! My son is a lover of orchids - he has at least one blooming all the time. I've lived with thirteen year olds - remember - this too shall pass - and quicker than you would have liked once you get on the other side. My grandbabies were over for hugs and kisses and dancing last night - I couldn't be happier!
- January 15, 2013 at 11:58 AM
- Molly said...
Happy Birthday Dana! I hope you have a wonderful day with your family :) What a special treat having the girls home!
I had to laugh at your story about the blimp. My dad is a pilot and when I was around 13 he borrowed an aerobatic plane and did all sorts of tricks while we were in the air. Spirals, rolls, flying upside down ... you name it! He still talks about how unimpressed and bored I looked through the whole thing. It sure takes a lot to impress a teenager.
- January 15, 2013 at 12:18 PM
- DianeY said...
Happy birthday! I'm so jealous you got to ride the blimp. My daughter lives in LA & I looked into it recently & it's not available to the public now. They are always up there so I'm not sure who gets to tide!
Have a great day!
- January 15, 2013 at 12:18 PM
- Terriaw said...
Happy birthday to you! What a great way to post on your birthday. (might have to try this on my next birthday - 45 ramblings, gasp!) And how lucky to have the kids home to spend it with you, making it feel even more special. I wondered if the 41 ramblings meant something, and then I got to ramble #41. Wait, you went to law school? and practiced as a prosecuting attorney? I had no idea! So fascinating to learn some new tid-bits in that list. Enjoy your day!

Happy, Happy Birthday! I've never had much luck with reblooming but do love orchids. No moving around for me but I did know that Kansas City is in MO...really only because my sister lives in MO! 13 year olds are fun, frustrating, and forever surprising. Even the boy ones :) Have a wonderful day!
- January 15, 2013 at 1:03 PM
- Heather said...
Happy Birthday! No 13 year olds here (yet!), just an almost 7 year old and a 3 1/2 year old who both think they are going on 13.

Happy, happy birthday! I lived through 2 13 yr olds...we made it, they are 29 and 31 now, and they thank me for being the kind of mom I was then, with rules and boundaries and goooooood cookin' that I always insisted was eaten at a sit-down dinner with the 4 of us there. You're doing GREAT! I loved this post, so many cool things about you I didnt know. I can't speak more than the bare essentials of Spanish either and I took it formally for 6 years in school...ah well, "mas cerveza, por favor" has served me well enough... funny how I become more fluent as the number of cervezas consumed increases...hahaha!

Happy Birthday Dana and your orchids are beautiful. My Grandparents came from Independence Missouri, there parents from Marysville, KS. I so want to visit that area, I've been once but only for a quick funeral. You have three quilt tops done already, speedy. Can't wait to see them. I have vowed to not start anything new until the UFO"s are done. I wonder if I can keep that vow! Have fun with the kiddos!

HaHa! you're too funny!
It's amazing the life we leave behind to be a mom, isn't it?
but I don't regret it either. Working as a lawyer must have prepared you for teenagers--I'd say you have an advantage :)
Happy Birthday friend!

Happy Birthday! I turned 40 exactly one week ago, and I was once an attorney mostly defending pharmaceutical manufacturers for a living, but now I'm a mom and quilter (no soap) in small-town America. And I love to stay home. And my school child (my oldest) is dismissing early for ice today. He is not 13, alas.
I hope your birthday is wonderful.

Happy Birthday Dana!!! Enjoy that 13 year old while you can, soon they get to be 17 they grumble about everything. Love the orchids and I am so impressed--I have never gotten one to keep growing after the flowers died. Woo Hoo for you!!

Happiest of birthdays! My step-daughter is 13. She spent an entire day over Christmas break in her bedroom, turning down invitations to fun activities. Sledding? No. Going to the store? No. Trip to the mall? No. Then I look on Instagram, and she has been posting all day about how bored she is. Ha.

Happy, happy to you. What a lovely list to read about.
No 13 yr old but I can substitute my 17 yr and probably get the same thing.
Here's hoping your day has rocked and you celebrated well.
Woot on the orchids thriving.

Happy Birthday Dana! We are Missouri tiger fans too. Hubby got his bachelors degree there. Born and raised in KCMO, now living in the triangle of NC and glad of it. Nice to know a fellow tiger. And yes, I often tell folks it is Kansas City MISSOURI!

Happy birthday!! (Sorry I'm late!) I've always thought that folks from Missouri (or lived there for a length of time) were nice… When I was ten and we got stuck in traffic on the very busy freeway in St. Louis, locals not only gave us directions but let us into their lane so that we could be sure to get the right exit. My buddy Nate was from Kansas City, MO.
You were an attorney? Cool. Now I can make all those habeus corpus jokes I've been saving up. :-)

British founder of modern Wicca
Born Friday, 13, 1884 in Liverpool England. Gardner definitely has Witchcraft roots that are traceable to one Grissell Gardner who was burned as a Witch in 1610 in Newburgh, Scotland. Essentially Gardner grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. His family was rich and well established.
Growing up Gerald has asthma as a child. His then nurse suggested that he (Gardner) travel with her to help remove him from what was causing it. Due to the nurses travels Gerald was well learned and well traveled by the time he reached age of consent. He studied in the Far East with some of the best regarded spiritual leaders of the time. In an interview he stated that, "It made more of an impact on him than did Christianity".
From 1923 to 1936 Gardner worked for the British on a rubber plantation as an inspector of rubber and opium establishments. Needless to say he made a LOT of money off the rubber trade. This money allowed Gerald to study and practice the trade of archaeologist.
His first book was on Far Eastern blades called, "Kris and Other Malay Weapons", and is to this day considered to be a source on the blades of the Far East and was reprinted in 1973. It is said that Gardner had a fondness for "blades".
Gerald married a woman by the name "Donna" in 1927. The two returned to England upon his retirement in 1936. His pastimes then included traveling the world on archaeological expeditions. On a trip to Cypress, upon seeing places he remembered from a dream, he became convinced that he had had previous lives.
The trip gave Gardner the idea for another book. His second book, "A Goddess Arrives" , is a novel set in Cypress dealing with Aphrodite of 1450 B.C.E. The book was written in 1938 and later published in 1939.
1939 was a "red letter" year for Gardner. During the writing of his second book he became acquainted with a group practicing "magick". This was a small group in Hampshire in an area called "The New Forest". The name of this group was "The Fellowship Of Crotona". It was a collection of CO-Masons, a Masonic order established by Besant Scott. The group started "The First Rosicrucian Theater" in England, which produced plays with occult themes.
Within this group was another group. The members claimed to be hereditary Witches who practiced the "Craft" passed down to them in an unbroken line through the centuries. Gerald was initiated into this circle by Dorothy Clutterbuck the Covens High Priestess days before the outbreak or WWII.
July 31st ,1940 was the day before Hitler was to invade England. Everyone who was involved in Witchcraft was asked to come to the Glastonbury Plain to perform a ritual that would keep Hitler's invading armada for reaching the shores. To name all those involved would take several pages. To name but a few. Dion Fortune, Margaret Murry, Alestar Crowley, All the members of The Golden Dawn, all the members of The O.T.O. Several of the Crown Princes, Gerald Gardner and the Coven he belonged to. It has been recorded that Drakes Drum was used to create a tempest. The cone was raised and it is said that so much energy was released that five people died that night. Needless to say, the Germans were turned back and lost a good portion of their fleet. This is also known as the Battle For Britain.
In 1946 Crowley gave Gardner an honorary membership into the O.T.O. ( Ordo Templi Orientus). Crowley is alleged to have some connections with several covens in the area and was also an influence on Gardner. Gardner was always after Crowley for rituals but according to Patricia, Crolwey never gave him any.
Gardner wanted to write about the "Craft" and and it's survival but the laws regarding Witchcraft were still on the books in England. He then published a "fiction" called "High Magick's Aid" published in 1949 under the pen name Scire. In 1951 the laws against Witchcraft were repealed. Gardner broke away from The New Forest Coven and started his own.
The rituals he incorporated into his coven were identical to those in High Magick's Aid. The other material he incorporated for The New Forest Coven was sketchy at best. Other rituals came from Crowley and the Masonic lodges he belonged to in the past. In 1953 Gardner initiated Dorine Valentine. Together they flushed out some of the Crowley rituals as being too modern.
From 1954 to 1957 Gardner and Valentine collaborated on material which later became known as The Gardinarian Book Of Shadows. Gardeners first non-fiction book was published in 1954. Witchcraft Today. The immediate success of this book was directly responsible for Covens sprouting up all over England. Gerald appeared in the media on various occasions and was dubbed Britain's Chief Witch. In 1959 he published The Meaning Of Witchcraft.
In 1960 he was invited to a party at Buckingham Palace and was awarded for his work in the Far East. His wife soon died there after and his asthma returned. He was wintering in Lebanon to relieve the symptoms when he met Raymond Buckland. As most of you know Ray Buckland was responsible for bring Gardnerian Witchcraft to the U.S. Monique Wilson a.k.a., Lady Owen initiated Buckland into the Craft.
Upon his trip home from Lebanon Gerald Gardner died at the breakfast table on board ship February 12, 1964.

Discover Our Shared Heritage Travel Itinerary
Broad Street Station
The only railroad station distinguished American architect John Russell Pope ever designed, this Neoclassical masterpiece served the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac (RF&P) Railroad lines from its completion in 1919 until 1975. The former Broad Street Station now serves as the Science Museum of Virginia, which recently completed a multi-million dollar renovation that retained the bulk of the building's historic character. The history of Broad Street Station goes as far back as 1904, when RF&P bought the old fairgrounds at Broad and Davis Streets. The site was once the location of Civil War military encampments, hosted the annual state fair, and was home to ballparks for some of the country's first professional baseball teams. The railroad company first developed the site as the Hermitage Country Club, to encourage leisurely Richmonders to take the train on excursions out to what was then the western edge of the city.
Groundbreaking for the project began on January 6, 1917. Scheduled to take 18 months and projected to cost just over $1 million, the project suffered from a lack of skilled workers and increases in material prices due to World War I. After alteration and simplification of the plans, Union Station opened six months late and almost $2 million over budget. The first train pulled out at 1:07pm on January 6, 1919, two years to the day after the station's groundbreaking. Locally, the station quickly took on the name Broad Street Station and became increasingly busy over the next 25 years, peaking during World War II with an average of 57 trains a day. Following World War II, passenger rail traffic through Richmond steadily decreased, and slowly the city's railroad stations began to close. In 1958, the remaining Seaboard passenger trains shifted from Main Street Station to Broad Street Station. In 1971, Amtrak took over the remaining passenger trains in Richmond, and in 1972 moved operations to a new station off Staples Mill Road, west of the city. At 4:58 AM on November 15, 1975, the last passenger train rolled out of Broad Street Station.

Lenovo K6, Lenovo K6 Power, and Lenovo K6 Note all the three smartphone device are official with some killer specifications and features. Though all of the are having the same type of display and SoC but they are very great ones each of them. Before this Lenovo made the Moto Z Play official in the press conference at IFA 2016 event in Berlin, Germany. And now the next generation Lenovo devices are also made official.
All these smartphones are said to be the successors of the K5, K5 Note devices, which are having some sort of heating issues and are not doing good in the market. That brought the all new K6 series range of devices with some (not whole but some) specifications changes in all three of them. The first one (K6) is the normal device, while the second one (Power) is featuring the great power back – up and the third one (Note) is the note range device.
Full Specifications –
The normal and the power smartphones are is featuring the same 5.0 – inch of IPS Full HD capacitive touchscreen display with the 441ppi of the pixels density while the Note range device is having the huge 5.5 – inch of the similar display with 401 ppi of the pixels density and all three have the 1920 x 1080 pixels of the HD display resolutions. All three devices are available with both single and dual SIM slot options.

Also, all of the devices are equipped with the accelerometer, proximity and compass sensors. For better audio quality all three are featuring the Dolby Sound speakers.
Now came the other difference in three of the devices though only in the two. The normal and the Power range phone sports the 13 MP of the main camera at the rear panel with the PDAF, HDR, panorama and LED Flashlight. While the Note variant sports the 16 MP of the main camera with same features but Dual toned Dual Flashlight at the back. Rest in the front all the devices are featuring the 8 MP of the selfie shooter camera. And below the rear camera unit presents the Fingerprint scanner for fast unlocking and advanced security reasons.

All three of them are available in Gold, Silver, and Dark Grey color options when they will be launched in November while the normal one will be launched this month in September.
Price –
Specifications of Lenovo K6 and K6 Power are great and by going through the specs the Lenovo K6 Note price seems to fall in the mid – budget price range with both normal and Power devices to fall in the budget range too. Recently the devices are just officially announced but as per the latest news, the normal device will launch in September and the rest of the two will be launched in the month of November.
Price in USA is 105$ (Normal), 150$ (Power) and 195$ (Note)

In the spirit of risk-taking, I took- well- a risk. Not a huge one, but a risk nonetheless.
You know how The Nester made her bedroom look so cute and chic and lovely by putting white duct tape all over the wall behind their bed? Well, I just love the unexpected brilliance of that idea.
It's one of those giving-yourself-permission-to-try-something things. And again, shouldn't our homes be safe enough places to risk and be vulnerable and put duct tape on things just because we can in order to see what the effect is???
Currently, I'm reading this book called Creating Space: The Case for Every Day Creativity by Ed Cyzewski, and he talks about this same theme of permission and safety within creativity, how it's crucial for most if not all creatives.
It's hard to give yourself permission when you are so used to striving for perfection. But for one thing, imperfection, taking a risk, "failing"… aren't those all part of the creative process? Cyzewski declares that they are. And I agree. Plus, isn't imperfection far more achievable?
"…failure is not the same as a waste. Every attempt to let your creativity out is vitally important practice." – Cyzewski (Page I-don't-know-because-I'm-reading-it-on-my-iPad. But it's in the section on safety.)
So, I risked taking a risk this week by doing something imperfect: I made a doily wall. Which is pretty much what it sounds like, insomuch as there are doilies on my wall.
I'd stop ever-so-briefly at the Target $1 spot (which is one of my favorite places) the other day, and managed to not spend a million dollars. In fact, I only spent $1 (plus tax, obviously) and bought a bag of these mint green doilies. I thought to myself, "Self. Those are some adorable mint green doilies. And they're a dollar. Treat yo' self."
And thus began my brilliant scheme to do something awesome with them. It's simple. I literally just took several pieces of scotch tape and applied to the back of each one like this:
(Am I a DIY pro or what?!?!) And then I just stuck them all over our bedroom wall behind the bed. Sort of with the idea of grouping them closer together in the lower left corner and then scattering up and outward.
We don't have a headboard or cool, rustic window frames or anything like that at the moment, so I thought this might be a fun way to do something interesting behind our bed.
It's kind of fun, right? And it only took me, like, 20 minutes total. I probably could've spent more time figuring out spacing and whatnot, but I'm ok with it being imperfect.
Here's sort of a different view.
Remember, folks, we live in an apartment, so we've had to be creative fitting lots of furniture in this space. The bedroom also doubles as my office, as you can see here.
Later this week, I'll be sharing Part 2 of these Doily Wall shenanigans! Namely:
a) we'll find out if I still like it in two days, and
b) how do I cram an office/art space into this room and somehow remain organized so that my supplies are accessible?
So, stay tuned!
I'm still deciding if I even like these doilies on the wall, but man it's gratifying to do something fun that is possibly THE CHEAPEST update of any kind that I could do. What do y'all think? Is the doily wall heinous? Sort of pretty? Janky and redkneck looking? The most brilliant breakthrough of design history thus far?
And do you have any brilliant design breakthroughs you've employed in your space? (Also, if you live in an apartment or small space and have awesome organizing skills- specifically as it pertains to art supplies- let me know, k? K.)

Good Morning,
I am just beginning to plan moving our GroupWise Server over to a OES Linux Server. I have installed OES SLES 10.1 a few time for practice, however I am still a bit confused about the general linux partition sizes during the setup.
The new linux box will be running all of GroupWise, including the Web Access and Messenger, as well as GWAVA for my Spam protection.
With my present GroupWise installation on a NetWare server, I have a VOL0 that I use for the Software Distribution of GroupWise, and a VOL1 where the Domain and Post Office are located. I understand that I will be creating NSS volumes for those two locations.
I am mainly concerned with the sizes of the linux partitions, such as /opt (which is where GWAVA recomends its placement) /var, etc ...
Which should be individual partitions (and size) or which should stay a portion of the / partition.
I would like to use one half of my mirrored OS drives ( 72GB Drives, so 36 GB) for the OS and EVMS, the balance of that mirror to be my NSS VOL0, while the NSS VOL1 with the GroupWise data will be on a seperate Raid 5 array.
Thank you for your recomendations,

On a beautiful day like today there are so many things to distract me from writing. The deck seems particularly inviting.
And I need to check on the plants I planted in barrels along the east fence.
There's a peek-a-boo look at the wild rose along the back fence.
And all those bright red petunias are taking hold at the top of the rock garden. It seems so good to be gardening again, though I've discovered there are similarities between writing and gardening. From the first early seeds of a story, I love watching it grow.
Just as there are all kinds of interruptions to my gardening, there are interruptions to my writing. sometimes a visitor shows up.
Sometimes I get so carried away with the grand vista, I don't pay enough attention to the details.
Other times something amazes me.
There are close-ups.
And sometimes something is left dangling.
I guess I'll write awhile, then I'll garden awhile, then I'll go pick up a grandson from school. Why can't more days be like this!

Mainframes & large systems
Post this page to popular social media
Now refurbished and re-opened
Mainframes arrived in the 1950s. They are still with us!
Whenever families with children visit, they are always amazed just how big the systems from the 50s, 60s and 70s really were. Their only knowledge of computing might be the PC or laptop they have at home, or the iPhone in their pocket (which has many times more processing power than all the systems on display). We have many visitors with memories of working with these machines and they are usually amazed that we have them working!
There are:
- a Marconi TAC from the late 1950s
- two Elliotts from the 1960s
- an IBM 1130 from the 1960s
- an ICL System 25 from the 1980s
- an ICL DRS6000 from the 1990s
- and the monster ICL 2966 from the 1980s.
- and PDP 11 based Air Traffic Control system and PDP 11 based Blacknest monitoring system in other galleries
TAC - Transistorised Automatic Computer
Dating to around 1958/60. this is one of the more unusual systems we have on display. Contained within four large cabinets and a control desk, it was one of the first transistorised computers made in the UK. Ours was used as a monitoring system for a nuclear power station. It gave sterling service for many years from its installation in the early 1960s to finally being decommissioned in 2004 - that's over 40 years! That is amazing considering the technology being used. It was kindly donated to the museum.
Elliott 803B
This is a fully functioning machine from around 1962 which, when it was donated to the museum, had spent about 15 years in a farm barn. The restoration was lead by John Sinclair, and the machine has been running with little need for attention for many years. It has recently had two upgrades: The addition of a Calcomp drum plotter and some additional input/output features. As well as the system on display here at TNMOC, John has also restored and maintained an 803B system for the Science Museum in London.
As with any good system we have it working hard each Saturday. Members of the project team keep their programming skills sharp by developing programs for the 803 using the original software tools. These programs play music, draw graphs or solve mathematical problems. One recent program calculates the cost of a shopping list in pounds, shillings and pence (£sd, the UK's currency pre-decimalisation in 1971). This is a far cry from its original use for planning bakery delivery routes or accounting, but it does allow the system to be shown working and in doing so ensures its continued operation.
Two fully operational Elliott machines; 803B and 903 are on display at TNMOC.
The IBM 1130 was launched in 1965 and was the first system IBM designed to work in an office environment. It was still in use in the early 1980s with over 10,000 systems believed to have been built during a working life spanning nearly 20 years. As well as being used in small to medium sized offices, it was also used extensively in colleges and universities for both scientific and 'office' roles. The one currently running at TNMOC came from Liverpool university and is on a long-term loan, and according to some paperwork found with the system, it was used in the Nuclear Physics department. Before it arrive at TNMOC it had been in storage for over 25 years and it took a team of volunteers over 3 years to get it operational again. It is one of only 4 known working examples in the world, with 1 in Germany and 2 in the USA.
Since the advent of the PC, the imminent demise of "big iron" has been predicted, but they are still here - alive and well in the cloud.
The Museum's largest computer, the huge ICL 2966 from around 1985/7, is coming back to life. It is by far the largest system we have on display at the museum, taking up almost a third of the floor space in the large systems gallery. What is more surprising is that we did not actually have room for all of it, it fact what you seen on display is less than half of its original size..
This system uses a lot of power - you can't run this from a 13A plug - so we had to have a separate mains supply fitted to enable the restoration to continue. It also generates a lot of heat and would normally be in an air-conditioned room. As we could not fit out the whole gallery with air conditioning, we designed a large fan-assisted air venting system fitted to the top of the main cabinets to direct the hot air out through a window. Even so, it still gets hot. At least we know that on cold winter days the large systems gallery will probably be the warmest room in the museum (assuming our resident ICL Mr Fixit can get it going!)
The system itself was used up until 1999 at TARMAC, who after having decommissioned the system, donated it to the museum where it was put in storage. It was not until late 2007 that we had enough floor space to put it out on display and it certainly is impressive to see.
The long and difficult process of restoring the system to full working order is now well under way. We are lucky to have help and advice from the ICL/Fujitsu engineer who maintained the system during its working life at TARMAC and actually decommissioned it.
Restoration work takes place on most Saturdays.

In Configuration>Schedules verify a pay schedule exists for all years with the same pay frequency and schedule ID. A pay schedule must exist for all dates up to and including the attendance accrued through date in order for accrued hours to be calculated correctly.
When viewing the Employee attendance summary Financial Edge runs the calculation from the employees hire date through the Calculate as of date. For example, when the attendance plan that is set to calculate by pay period Financial Edge looks at the past pay periods using the schedule ID currently on the employees Compensations/Deductions tab. This would mean that the employee's current schedule ID, for example if the employee has the schedule ID Bi-Weekly and the attendance plan assigned to the employee has a Plan year set to Based on employee's start date, and his hire date was in 2008 then there should be a schedule for every year back to 2008 for the attendance to calculate correctly.

How has your perspective of health care changed after coming to Senegal?
Coming to Senegal has given me exposure to different ways things could be done. I had the opportunity to see that things can transition and improve. Also, organization is critical. The opportunity for improvement greatly depends on how the health system is organized.
Of the lessons you have learned here in Senegal, which and how can you apply this to your practice in the U.S.?
One difference I noticed is that in the U.S. we focus on delivering health care, while in Senegal patients seek care. I believe that as a physician in the U.S., I can take my understanding of this dynamic and improve patient provider relationships. I can reach out to patients more often to check up, but also to better understand other factors that could be influencing their health.
To you, what does it mean to care?
To me, caring is living out my calling. Most times it can be and IS fun. As a resident physician, my job is essentially to care. It never seems like a job though. When I wake up, I want to do this.

National Ballet of Canada
John Cranko's "Romeo & Juliet"
Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Vancouver, BC
John Cranko's "Romeo & Juliet"
Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Vancouver, BC
October 12, 2001
Of the several versions of Romeo & Juliet set to the Prokofiev score, I find this version from 1962, by John Cranko, to be among the most satisfying. Among the many choreographic unifying devices, I find his use of leitmotivic movement as a means of underscoring a character or amplifying a dramatic situation to be most compelling. For example, there are movements associated only with Mercutio, others with Romeo, still others with Tybalt. Far from being repetitive, the appearance and reappearance of these motifs serves to foreshadow and recollect dramatic situations, in much the same way that Wagner utilized them in The Ring. As a result, I believe that the choreographer has supplied much of the character and dramatic development necessary for the realization of the story within the choreography itself.
That is not to say that there is no room for dramatic interpretation or further character delineation on the part of the performers, rather, that the quality of the marriage of movement and drama is very high in Cranko's realization.
There were three performances presented in Vancouver. All were sold out; matinees could easily have been added. However, many sets of principals were not in evidence here. No Chan Hon Goh (in DC with Suzanne Farrell's company), no Greta Hodgkinson, no Geon Van der Wyst. We were treated (both on the opening Thursday and the Saturday that I attended) to the partnership of Sonia Rodriguez and Aleksandar Antoniejevic, both of whom delivered peak performances, aided by Rex Harrington as an exceptionally malevolent Tybalt; Richard Landry and Philip Lau as tremendously high jumpers with wonderful ballon as Mercutio and Benvolio, respectively; and Guillaume Cote in the brief role of Count Paris.
Karen Kain made her debut as Lady Capulet at the Thursday and Friday performances in Vancouver; much as I would have enjoyed the pleasure of seeing her onstage again, I was not at all disappointed at seeing Victoria Bertram's tour de force in this role.
The orchestra, conducted by Ormsby Wilkins, was comprised of principals from Toronto supplemented by local musicians. Prokofiev was well served on this occasion.
Pre and post-performance receptions sponsored by teckcominco and RBC Investments provided those of us not on the invitation list with an up--close glimpse at the dancers and directors and an overheard snatch of conversation or two as they made their way to and from the receptions. Among them, Karen Kain, animated, engaging and immediately captivating everyone's attention in the lobby.
We also had first pick of the National Ballet of Canada 50th Anniversary souvenir books at the gift stand; well worth the CDN$20 for anyone with even a passing interest in this company.
I regret that National Ballet of Canada comes no more frequently than once every other year, but look forward to September 2003.
Please join a discussion of this performance in our forum.

Beyond the Republic of Fear: Symbolic Domination in Bacthist Iraq
Title: Beyond the Republic of Fear: Symbolic Domination in Bacthist Iraq
Author: LENNER, Katharina
Date: 2007
Series/Number: EUI RSCAS; 2007/32; Mediterranean Programme Series
This paper explores the significance of official rhetoric, symbolism and cultural production as a social practice of domination in Bacthist Iraq. In order to make sense of this aspect of domination, it is necessary to go beyond the level of regime imagery and look at the ways in which systems of signification were upheld and, at times, subverted by different parts of the population. The shortage of studies dealing with this question regarding Bacthist Iraq must be seen in conjuncture with the main theoretical concepts employed so far, 'traditional legitimacy' and 'totalitarianism'. By merely considering the content of official representation and speculating about its persuasiveness, both have precluded rather than invited closer examination of people's everyday lives and the ways in which they related to the representation of authority. The notion of Bacthist Iraq as a totalitarian 'republic of fear' in particular has reduced domination to the spread of violence and fear and assumed its total grip on the population's minds. This paper will examine practices like mass displays of allegiance, the reiteration of official language or representations of violence as ambivalent forms of domination which invited a variety of responses from a diverse population. It argues for a new theoretical approach, which must be able to conceive the power of authoritarian states to shape ideas and bodies through symbolic-disciplinary practices as well as the possibility of subversion. Such practices sought to implicate Iraqis in the exertion of dictatorial domination without necessarily making them believe in the claims of the regime.

A COUPLE brazenly bonk at a bus stop in front of stunned onlookers.
The pair were filmed getting frisky on Friday night.
The woman straddles the bloke after hoisting up her skirt on the bus stop bench.
As passers-by shout "Oi Oi!" and laugh the man flicks them a two-finger salute. He then gets back to business.
One disgusted local is heard asking: "Are you for real?"
A witness told The Sun: "There were people wanting to take a seat and wait for the bus but they just carried on like they were at home.
"There was no shame. At one point the crowd looking at them thought they must have just been dry humping.
"But as you got closer you could see the man's privates and the woman's underwear down by her ankles. It was a disgrace."
The man who filmed the clip said the romp lasted half an hour.
He said: "I'm not sure if they were drunk but it was 1am and they looked like they'd been on a night out.
"I don't know why they couldn't just get a hotel room."
The banging couple risked arrest for outraging public decency in Holloway, North London.
Cops only tend to get involved if someone makes a complaint.
Last month a boozy couple were filmed having sex in front of a pub in London. At one stage the woman, in her 20s, performed a sex act on her romeo as he groped her bum.

Tuesday 31st
I was on the way to Glasgow on the M8.
In London things were hotting up for the launch of ITV's new breakfast programme Daybreak replacing GMTV now in its last death throws this week.
The stunning new studio with its superb view over the river Thames to St Paul's Cathedral was being unveiled to the press along with the new presenting team.
Gregg Easteal Daybreak's Scotland correspondent, my new work partner was down in London to meet the bosses face to face before he comes up to Edinburgh and starts work in the strange twilight world of breakfast television.
Tiffany Royce, one of the best names ever, was similarly stuck behind the wheel of her car trundling up the M6 from Manchester.
I met her at the home of three sisters who suffer from a genetic heart condition that in simple terms means that they could die at any moment without any warning.
The girls were not back from school which gave Tiffany and I time to catch up.
The last time I saw her in person was during the Beijing Olympics and she had told us that she was pregnant.
The two of us had been dispatched to Bangkok to film Gary Glitter as he was heading back to the UK.
I went back to stay in Beijing until the end of the games and Tiffany had been instructed to get on the same flight as the famous pedophile back to the UK.
So here she was, a not so new mum. Her daughter was already rather scarily seventeen months old.
So as well as the catch up there was lots of news about the goings on at GMTV as the programme wriggled and twitched on its deathbed.
When the girls arrived with Steve their dad we did our little bit of filming.
Melissa the youngest, still at primary school was the least shy but still not hugely keen to be on TV.
The other two Courtney and Chloe were typical shy giggly teenagers.
With a bit of gentle banter and coaxing from Tiffany and myself we got the interviews and shots done.
One of my little cheesy tricks with young kids is to make the fluffy microphone cover act like a little furry animal and get it to jump at them.
It usually helps to break the ice and with the older more savvy ones make me out as a harmless nutter and puts them at their ease a bit.
When Melissa asked about the mic, as often happens I was just about to go into my little routine when I stopped.
One of the things that could quite literally kill any of these lovely girls is any kind of shock or upset.
So I thought better of getting my microphone puppet jumping up to "bite" Melissa.
It must be very difficult for their dad and their granny to deal with the real possibility that some kind of exertion or shock could induce an irregular rhythm in the girls hearts resulting in anything from a mild fit to death.
Their mother Sharon had died from the self same condition not long after Melissa was born.
It is not uncommon for people suffering from this Long QT syndrome to die in their sleep because of the upset caused by a bad dream.
Tiffany with Courtney, Melissa and Chloe with Buster the dog getting in on the act.
On the way to Glasgow's Yorkhill hospital to do a piece to camera Tiffany and I counted our blessings.
Once the piece to camera was done I recorded Tiffany's voice over.
We said good-bye and I took the tape to STV to be sent down to London.
Will that be it for me and GMTV? I could have just done my last job for GMTV. The end of an almost eighteen year era coming to a close.
It will be ITV Daybreak for me for the next who knows how long.

Overview of potential for energy savings
Pump audit is a diagnostic tool developed by Grundfos to identify excessive energy consumption in any kind of pumping system. Our experience with Pump audits shows that 30-50% of the energy consumed by pumps could be saved which translates into significant potential savings for your installation, and a little extra relief for the environment.
A Pump audit is performed by Grundfos specialists based on measurements. It focuses on the amount of material the pump is handling and flow variations during a relatively short and well-defined period. The Grundfos specialist sets up various measuring equipment to measure and record the following:
- Countable values, e.g. flow and energy consumption
- Analogue values, e.g. pressure, temperature, water levels
- Incident rates, e.g. pump start/stop, valve open/close
The audit assesses the overall efficiency of your pumps and proposes changes to be made to improve efficiency. The proposals are supported by calculations of the savings to be made, the reduction in CO2 emissions, and the payback time on any investment.
- Considerable savings on running costs
- Significant reductions to installation carbon footprint
Initial contact
We prequalify your site through a discussion of relevant site information or an Energy Check.
We inspect your premises and draw up a list of performance data and installed pumps, pinpointing focus areas.
The Pump Audit is carried out by logging data, resulting in a load profile for the pump(s) audited
You receive a hardcover report with full details of the audit results and recommendations.
- You may select the right pump solution for your system.
- Optimum performance
- Energy and cost savings
We follow up on the service performed to ensure optimal service delivery and satisfactory Grundfos pump performance.

Hynes Legal engaged to undertake review of the Aged Care Act 1997
10 Nov 2009
Developing the reform agenda
Aged Care Association Australia (ACAA) is pleased to announce it has engaged Julie McStay of Hynes Legal to undertake a long awaited review of the Aged Care Act 1997 (Cth) (Act). This marks a very important first step forward in the reform of community and residential aged care in Australia. It also demonstrates the ACAA's commitment to addressing the concerns and difficulties in the provision of community and residential aged care currently being experienced by both for profit and not-for-profit providers of residential and community aged care in Australia.
As a collaborative effort by Hynes Legals and the ACAA, the review will involve significant industry consultation and will ultimately result in the preparation of a report to be submitted to Government and to the Opposition. The report will identify the aspects of the Act which are currently impeding the continued viability and growth of the industry, as well as identifying a series of realistic and workable reforms.
After an initial consultation, undertaken as a part of the review, it was clear that there are four key areas of the Act that the majority of providers agree are in most urgent need of reform.
They are:
- the accreditation process;
- the complaints investigation scheme;
- care fees and accommodation charges; and
- the allocation process.
The framework for the review will revolve around identifying how the current provisions in the Act which regulate these topics should be reformed to improve the long time viability of the industry whilst continuing to achieve the policy objectives of the legislation. A survey tool will soon be issued jointly by the ACAA and Hynes Legal to as many other providers across the country as possible including all of the members of the ACAA. The survey tool will seek to gather data to indicate industry preferences for the reforms necessary to allow the Act to continue to achieve its objectives while also allowing the industry to grow to meet current and likely future demand.
Once the survey is complete a report will be prepared based on the data collated in the survey to illustrate the proposed reforms to the legislation which have the support of the industry.
ACAA and Hynes Legal will jointly submit the report to the Commonwealth Minister for Ageing and the Shadow Minister for Ageing.
The health and aged care team at Hynes Legal has many years experience in providing corporate and commercial advice to community and residential aged care providers placing it in an excellent position to comment on and undertake a review of the Act.
Both Hynes Legal and the ACAA are concerned that to date the government has failed to address the long term reform issues needed within the Australian community and residential aged care system. It is hoped that the Ministers will support the widespread calls for review and reform of the Act as the survey results will surely demonstrate the need for urgent action.
Reform to the Act is required today if the community and residential aged care system currently in existence in Australia is to evolve to meet the needs of tomorrow.

The Hsinchu Image Museum, which tells about Taiwan's movie history, is itself part of that history, as the building was the country's first air conditioned theater showing movies upon its completion in 1933.The roof and auditorium were destroyed during the bombing of Hsinchu by the Allied Forces in 1944, when Taiwan was still a Japanese colony, but it was rebuilt and later reopened as a movie theater in 1946.
The theater was closed in 1991 and became derelict, until the city government stepped in and began a project to reimagine the building as an image museum.
The museum now has a multi-function studio for performances and a 90-seat screening room where movies are played on weeknights and all day on weekends.
It also features the different movie projectors used between 1933 and 1991, as well as the history of Taiwan's movie industry.
The museum is located in the old district of Hsinchu City, which has 26 historic buildings in a one-square-kilometer area, the highest density among Taiwan's remaining blocs of old buildings.(By Lu Kang-chun and Kay Liu)ENDITEM/J
