churchgoers = 1%, I bet
What defines someone as a 'Christian'? Do you qualify as one if:
You celebrate Christmas and Easter?
Or if you go to church for 'hatches, matches and dispatiches?'
Or if you go to church regularly?
Or if you live live strictly by the Bible 24-7.
I do not consider myself to be a Christian. I look forward to Easter but as for Christmas, I hate it because of all the hassle and at work it is the worst time of year for me. As I was typing this there was an advert on TV for a Christmas catalogue and it is only June!
I don't find it that appalling. After all, almost all the countries that have decent LGBT rights have majority Christian populations (allbeit largely secularized ones). The religions is probably the most tolerant to gay people out there, even if this goes only for some denominations.
What planet are you living on?
You are confusing the Enlightenment's secularizing effects on the practices of government and on attitudes in society with the influence of religion. Christianity has had nothing to do with the advancement of gay rights.
Well, no. I said "secularized ones" because the Enlightmenment has ONLY worked full-stop in Christian countries. I know it is hard to swallow such a fact given the attitude problems of high clergy, but unlike – say – Islam, no one gives a toss on what said high clergy says, even if people still nominally consider themselves Christian.
It is probably down to the huge dominance of Roman Catholicism in Australian society, though I imagine that this is fading now. A Queenslander I knew once told me that in the small town she came from there were two sources of Truth – the Labour Party and the Catholic Church.
Not surprised by the statistics at all. My partner and I listed as 'No Religion' in the Census but like many of the 50+ age group, a majority would have been brought up as Christians during our youth. My partner and I both had to attend Sunday School because that was what was expected of us by our parents. Australia is a very conservative country and that is why we are seeing such a delay in any form of national relationship recognition , especially Marriage Equality. The Census does not provide a clear picture as to how many same-sex couples there truly are in Australia, because many couples are still closeted, many older couples would not want to declare their relationships because of Centrelink rulings in regards to de facto couples. The Federal Government wants same-sex couples to declare all of their assets in regards to the Aged Pension but they will not give us any form of relationship recognition. But the Census was good in that for the first time same-sex couples were included
BJ – totally with you on the undercount. Apart from your Centrelink point, it also pissed me off that the Census forms and website gave no indication that "married" would include anything other than heterosexual, Australian-recognised married couples. Then AFTER the fact, the bloody Census statisticians reckon "hey, let's count the number of gays who ticked married and report it like its a meaningful number". Seriously bad statistics that was, and more grist to the mill of right-wing homophobes who can now claim that gays and marriage are not meant to be!
May I just point out, parenthetically, that "Buddhism" in its purest form is not a religion but a philosophy. It recognises no supernatural interventions, and places its greatest stress on personal responsibility.

This seems mor like a description of Humanism to me.
Dictionaries define Buddhism as a religion and it is generally accepted as such.
Although Buddhism is atheistic, it does adhere to supernatural concepts like nirvana, dosn't it?
Yes that's true, and rebirth according to merit too. However, none of it is dependent on the intervention or obedient worship of divinities (in the purer forms anyway).
And yes, it is structured like a conventional religion – temples, priests and all the social control and flummery that goes with 'em – but, again, it's the only major one of what are called religions to not have a central, capricious deity or deities.
Buddhism believes that one is subjected to a cycle of birth, death and rebirth until they can achieve enlightenment known as Nirvana. As we all trip up somewhere along the way I believe that Nirvana is unattainable.
As an agnostic, I always view things from the strictly athiest point of view first. How can the Universe suddenly appear out of absolutely nothing in a 'Big Bang'. Even thin air would contain matter to form a universe. Also if we are condemmed to an eternity of oblivion without end after death, then we would have been in a state of oblivion that never had a beginning before we were conceived in our mother's wombs. Therefore I do believe in a higher state of existence but I can do so without peddling homophobic, racist and sexist opinions.
But, as with all religious belief, there is no evidence for it.
All should embrace atheism.

ECS Announces G43T-M3 Motherboard
ECS announced the G43T-M3 motherboard which they are touting "delivers the best HD experience."
The new mATX motherboard features the Intel G43 Express chipset and Intel GMA X4500 graphics, which includes built-in support for HD video decoding without the need for any add-on graphics cards.
Should more graphics power be required, the board has a PCIe 2.0 slot. The G43T-M3 has support for up to 12 USB 2.0 ports, 6 SATA ports, and sports DVI and VGA onboard. Unfortunately there is no HDMI or optical/coaxial SPDIF on the back I/O panel, which would make the board welcomed by many HTPC users.
There was no mention of price or availability in the full press release, which is available here.

Missy Higgins's new song, "Everyone's Waiting," does feel like a wave of emotion crashing over you. And that's what fans love about her: the depth of feeling in her lyrics. But originally, the singer-songwriter just wanted to be a singer.
"That was before I knew I could write songs and before people started liking the songs that I wrote," she said.
Her hit song, "Where I Stood," has been featured in nearly a dozen TV shows, including One Tree Hill and Grey's Anatomy.
Now, the 29-year-old just released her third album, The Ol' Razzle Dazzle. And she's playing Radio City Music Hall Tuesday with fellow Aussie and friend Gotye.
"He's number one in the world at the moment, so it's really exciting to be a part of that," she said. "I played a couple of shows with him before, yeah. It's the energy of his band, the audience because he's got such crazy fans over here. It's really exciting. And he's gotten me to sing the Kimbra part of that song ("Somebody That I Used To Know") too, which is very nerve-wracking but a very cool thing to be a part of."
Higgins has lived on and off in Brooklyn while working and playing in the U.S. and says the city has been a major influence on her music.
"Well, hidden ones. The first line is 'She's holding a torch in her hand, pointing towards her hand,' which is obviously the Statue of Liberty 'cause I was staying in Sunset Park at the time," she says. "And you can see the Statue of Liberty from the park 'cause it was up high."
Higgins will finish the American leg of her tour this October and then head back to Australia to perform for her fans back home.
For more information, visit missyhiggins.com. Watch the videos for "Everyone's Waiting" and "Where I Stood"

As we approach the Halloween season, I have a book collection that makes a perfect gift. The very new (September 2012) book set from WASHINGTON IRVING: A TREASURY preserves the classic tales of Rip Van Winkle, Old Christmas, and the haunting Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
These three time-honored stories by Washington Irving have become classic tales told again and again. The high-spirited stories of Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow present memorable folk characters that have become part of America's literary lexicon, while Old Christmas preserves the nostalgia, warmth, and joy of English Christmas traditions.
Irving's most famous tales are elegantly produced in three hardcover cloth-bound books, adorned with ribbon markers and slip-cased into a handsome set. The stories are beautifully illustrated with original paintings and drawings, making this collection the perfect gift for children new to the stories, as well as adults who are already fond of these favorites.
Book Collection Details:
Washington Irving Treasury
Rip Van Winkle, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and Old Christmas
Hardcover, slip-cased set 6 ¾ x 9 inches
392 pages
24 color and 150 black/white
About the Author:
Washington Irving (1783–1859) was an American author, essayist, biographer and historian. He was America's first internationally best-selling author. He was probably best remembered for his short stories The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle, both of which appear in this 3-set book collection.
My Thoughts: So Impressed.
The short stores written by Washington Irving are cloth-bound and of incredible quality. I feel like I am reading the books from the original 1800s print. This set is very classic and brings to life these great tales in both the stories and the incredibly well-done drawings and painting pictures throughout the books. These books truly are treasures, and both young and old readers would appreciate them.

I love this show and like a lot of the cast. Last season it was frustrating there was only six episodes and I was excited for them to come back with a full second season. I did not blog about the first two shows because of time restraints, then I was away on holiday for two episodes. I sat down today and watched all aired episodes of the new season and I must tell you, I am disappointed in what has happened to what used to be a fun show.
Last season they were authentic and refreshing. They looked like real people and had lives that were interesting. This year they are affected, mean spirited, fake, and not at all charming. They are painfully aware of the cameras, and it's a miracle they are able to carry around such massive egos. I honestly enjoyed this show and was supportive to them when others were not, but at this point I am struggling to find something nice to say.
Mike used to be charming, and now he is desperate. Asa was odd, and now is just weird. Mercedes was wounded, and now is broken. Sammy was harmless, and now is invisible. GG was entertaining, and is now pathetic. Reza was perfection, and is now shady. New girl Lily is not even a little bit entertaining. Important to note that the plastic surgeon that put those huge boobs on that tiny body should be sued for malpractice.
These are not young kids. They are middle-aged people who are behaving as children and it is embarrassing. They are mean to each other and unkind to everyone else. They drink too way too much, way too often, and seem to take pleasure in humiliating each other on television. The only thing worse than the show, is watching them in live interviews. These people went from fabulous to horrific in a season and I am surprised by all of them.
To clarify, I still think these are entertaining people. I hope they look at the season and are embarrassed enough that when they come back for season three they can get back on track and stop with the ugliness. They are so affected by the fame that it is both sad and fascinating. They are all selling stuff, selling themselves, and hurting each other in order to propel themselves forward. Shame on all of them for selling out so fast.
Ryan Seacrest Productions needs to take a look at this show and take a step backwards. Get rid of Lily because we don't care about her. Bring back Sammy because he should be there. Don't give Reza his own show because his head will explode. Help Mike get a job so he can stop flailing. Focus on MJ finding love, not questioning the love of her mother. Give GG all of MJ's pills, and explain to Asa that selling bottled water is selling out.
I am not giving up on this show or these people. I think they have all gotten caught up in the fame and potential for fortune so I am going to cut them a little slack. Once they remember we liked them for being real, and realize they are acting unreal for the cameras, they will readjust and all will be forgiven. I won't bother to blog past episodes and will pick up blogging next weekend. I really hope this group can get back to keeping it real.

Financing Microfinance
Microfinance is a solution scalable to meet needs large and small. However, resources provided by the international donor community and private philanthropists—traditional sources of funds for microfinance—meet only a small proportion of the market demand. Only the financial markets have the resources readily available to close this gap, especially for those microfinance institutions (MFIs) that focus on the poorest people and who, because of regulatory constraints, cannot provide savings accounts—a potential source for financing that remains out of reach for many MFIs.
Grameen Foundation's Capital Management & Advisory Center (CMAC) connects leading, poverty-focused MFIs with both local financial and capital markets, which supports these MFIs' efforts to make a difference in the lives of as many poor families as possible. CMAC focuses on catalyzing financing for more MFIs and addressing market gaps, namely:
- Most international financing is focused on the top tiered MFIs. According to CGAP, 90 percent of all international financing is to the Tier 1 MFIs and
- Over 70 percent of all international debt financing is in hard currency, exposing the MFI to large foreign exchange risks.
The center makes this possible in three ways:
- Developing and managing a range of Grameen Foundation-branded financial products that are simple yet flexible and meet the needs of MFIs globally, and cater to a variety of risk-return appetites among private funders.
- Establishing microfinance as a commercial investment opportunity by identifying, negotiating, and executing capital market opportunities in local markets, as well as presenting microfinance in terms that commercial investors understand.
- Emphasizing local markets as the primary source of MFI financing and spreading Grameen Foundation capital markets knowledge to and replicating successes in countries with large populations of poor people.
Microfinance institutions must be able to access capital to grow and continue to meet demand. Despite increasing competition in some areas of the world, microfinance sectors in many regions of the world have reached 10% or less of their potential demand. Grameen Foundation currently has two offerings meant to increase MFIs' access to capital:
Supporting the Growth of High-Performing Microfinance Institutions
Grameen Foundation's Growth Guarantees program is one of the microfinance industry's largest financing efforts dedicated to ensuring local currency financing for rapidly growing MFIs. The structure of Growth Guarantees enables MFIs to borrow in their local currency, which mitigates foreign exchange risk. The program is developed in cooperation with Citigroup and donor-guarantors who provide their names and credit while continuing to earn returns on their individual investment portfolios. The program relies on a pool of $60 million to provide loan guarantees. The program is flexible enough to support high-performing MFIs around the globe that aspire to expand rapidly and are capable of managing sums of commercial financing. We leverage each guarantee dollar on average four times to catalyze large amounts of local financing for MFIs.
Since it began in 2005, our Growth Guarantees program has leveraged $48 million in donor funds into more than $200 million in local-currency funding for 24 MFIs, enabling them to help more than 1.2 million new clients (mostly women).
Pioneer Fund
While the Growth Guarantees program targets more mature MFIs – those that are ready and equipped to manage large amounts of commercial financing – GF is now intervening in a systematic way to build up the next generation of MFIs. The Pioneer Fund will bridge the funding gap by providing direct financing to the next generation of microfinance institutions that are breaking barriers by working in remote or underserved areas and using innovative products and services that meet the needs of the poor.
The Pioneer Fund will initially invest in a select group of high potential early stage MFIs with catalytic financing to support their growth until they are able to access commercial capital and expand their funding base. At the same time, this funding will educate MFIs about the investor management process and help them advance along the funding continuum from reliance on grants or soft loans to the more commercial sources of financing that are critical to future growth. Pioneer Fund loans will go to high potential emerging leaders in the microfinance sector. One key aspect of the Pioneer Fund is to lead financing in markets that have not attracted much commercial capital, especially those in Sub-Saharan Africa, and to invest in MFIs targeting poorer regions.

Does It Work: I-Renew Bracelet
By: John Nolan
Updated: January 16, 2012
"The bracelet is hard to adjust on my small wrists, so I don't know how much it worked for me," says Thompson.
"I don't feel like I have that much more endurance."
Results, not so good. But we try again with Marlisa Goldsmith, who has had a busy day of lugging her camera equipment around town.
"I felt I had more energy when I was wearing it," Goldsmith says.
"I don't know if it's because I knew what it was supposed to do beforehand but I had the energy to get the job done."
So while the bracelet may have had an effect for one of our subjects, overall if you're looking for a pick me up, you may be better off with a cup of coffee.

This is just their way of saying, "You're not really poor. You still have more you can sacrifice so we can get richer." Next they'll say you can give up food.

T. E. Lawrence was one of history's most daring yet enigmatic figures. His early passion for medieval history drew him to Syria, where he became a British intelligence officer; increasingly sympathetic to the cause of Arab independence, he led a successful Arab attack on Turks and became a near-mythical figure. This biography draws upon eyewitness accounts to paint a poignant and dramatic tale of rare courage.

Comments about PBS Lawrence of Arabia: The Battle for the Arab World DVD:
Great historical of TE Lawrence aka Lawrence of Arabia. It corects many of the myths that the movie portrayed as being factual. It also did a great job of painting an understanding of what the politics were that shaped the middle east in those days! Well worth the watch...

Test 300-350 times a month, under an Endocrinologist care.
I test 300 per month. I also have good insurance (it's good to be a Teamster)
Insurance says that's too much and Endo's imply that 300 is excessive. And maybe if I was perfect and lived in a mechanical world where nothing fluctuated or changed I would need less strips but the menotony of an unchanging world would likely drive me insane. I am using my Dexcom again so I am able to put aside a few test strips here and there, of course we cant tell any professionals about that or they would end that. I don't buy into the end of world prediction stuff but if something huge happened how long could you survive on the supplies you have now, 30, 60 90 days?
I use about 300 or more. I test about 10 to 12 times a day.
3-4 times a day is better than nothing. So if I was you I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. He will be fine.

The tenth anniversary ceremony at the Pentagon was closed to the public, and security around the building was turning vehicles and pedestrians away without express permission to be on hand.
Michael Coulston works at the Pentagon and was riding his bike nearby before the ceremony. He says he was glad to see extra police out and about, but he's isn't worried about a terrorist attack today, here or anywhere else.
"Not at all," Coulston says. "I'm going to the baseball game this afternoon as a matter of fact ."
Jody Muldoon, a resident of Syracuse, N.Y., is in town visiting her daughter. The whole family was catching the Metro at Crystal City and headed downtown. She says being in the D.C. area today is special, and worrying about safety too much would be a waste.
"They could hit anybody, anywhere, anytime," Muldoon says. "We can't dig a hole and put our heads in the sand. That's all I can say."

Have your say on Facebook: Is Pirlo your Player of the Tournament?
The Italians beat Germany 2-1 in their Euro 2012 semi-final last night.
The Azzurri put in an impressive display on Thursday evening to see off Joachim Low's men – who had been tipped as favourites for the match – and join Spain in the final.
Italy have performed well above expectations in Poland and Ukraine, but Pirlo insists it will count for nothing if they fail to go on and win the tournament.
"We have not won anything yet," Pirlo told reporters. "[Not to win] would be like going to Rome and not seeing the Pope.
"We are convinced that we will have a great match against Spain. But if we want to have a chance to win, we will need to show the same spirit and desire we showed tonight and in the match against England.
"After the 2006 World Cup, we had some problems in the national team because successes were not coming. Now, we have reached the final."
The 33-year-old midfielder also drew parallels between Italy's campaign in Poland and Ukraine and the 2006 World Cup – where they defeated France in the final.
"The feelings are more or less the same," he explained. "There is the same desire to win and also some youngsters who were not in the squad in 2006."

I'm relatively new to Lr and am running 4.1. Yesterday I reviewed the Julieanne Kost's Soft Proofing video (for the 2nd or 3rd time) in preparation for preparing a print. I guess I noticed for the first time that you can soft proof for sRGB, and I haven't been doing that. I decided to do some sRGB soft proofing on some of the images I had already "developed" and posted on the web. To my amazement, most of those images were slightly out of the sRGB color space.
I have recently calibrated my monitor using Spyder 4. After calibration, Spyder gives me a percentage of the sRGB color space that my monitor displays, and it's not quite 100%. The "developed" images look great to me on my monitor and on the digital picture frames that that they are loaded on. I guess I don't understand why they seem to work on my monitor and digital displays while soft proofing shows they are out of the envelop.
Two questions.
I am a bit suspicious about Lightroom's soft-proofing. I have some sRGB images - created in sRGB and with an sRGB embedded profile - and LR still says they have substantial amounts of out-of-gamut colour when I soft-proof to sRGB.
The out-of-gamut warning it not saying what I expect it to say.
The out-of-gamut warning just means that the internally developed image has colors that exceed the color space specified for the softproof. You are using a monitor that has approximately the gamut of sRGB, so the image will look approximately like it is supposed to be when converted into the sRGB color space on export. However, if you would use a wide-gamut monitor, you would see that the image areas where the softproof indicates out-of-gamut for sRGB are looking more saturated than on the sRGB monitor.
This is perfectly normal. LR does not let you choose a working color space. Instead, it internally uses a very big theoretical color space (size of ProPhotoRGB) and will always use the maximum gamut available by your monitor for display.
OK, so let me explain my issue:
- I start with an sRGB image. One would imagine that an sRGB image doesn't have colours outside sRGB?
- So why does Lightroom report out of gamut colours when I proof against sRGB?
Perhaps you increased the saturation in the development module? The color space of an imported image does not matter. When developed, it is always converted into the huge internal color space.
Otherwise, if saturation was not changed, then there really should not be any out-of-gamut warning.
EDIT: I just tried it: Imported an sRGB JPEG into LR and made a softproof on sRGB. A few small areas in the image are reported in the out-of-gamut warning, which is not logical. I suspect that the warning appears on colors that are just on the edge of the color space, so a sRGB image with extremely satuated colors could just trigger the warnings.
I think the question is why a conversion to sRGB from LR's internal colorspace (during the softproof) is not simply the reverse of the conversion from sRGB to LR's internal colorspace during the import.
If there have been no adjustments in LR, then the colors should not have changed. Does the monitor profile come into play at all during the from or to sRGB conversion?
I would guess that there is a slight difference in black-point compensation or perceptual vs absolute vs relative that has changed the color-numbers slightly so the from sRGB is not quite the same as the to sRGB conversion.
Here's an image with an embedded sRGB profile: http://www.simongarrett.co.uk/Primaries_sRGB.tif
It contains colour blobs of 100% saturated colour - in sRGB. Imported into LR, and with no editing whatever or develop presets applied, it shows out-of-gamut colours when soft proofing against sRGB is applied.
I did a test using a raw image developed in Lr that tested "out of gamut" for sRGB using Soft Proofing. I used the Web module to export the image. That module does not give a color space option (at least not one I could find). The image produced for the Web remained out of sRGB gamut when I checked it using it using Soft Proofing. I took the same image and exported it to my desktop as a sRGB jpeg file. I reimported it back into Lr and it was within sRGB gamut according to Soft Proofing. Lr fixed it, but I guess that should be expected.
What I learned from this exercise is that I am only going to worry about Soft Proofing when I am making prints or posting on the Web (using the Web module) but not when exporting a jpeg file.
Hey guys, the image I linked above started as a tif in sRGB, not a raw. It never had any colours out of sRGB gamut, as it was only every sRGB. Dead simple, no doubt that colours are inside sRGB gamut, as it's an sRGB image. End of story.
But then when Lightroom opens it in Devleop Module, and converts to its working space of ProPhoto, it seems to change colours. How else could it show colours which are out of sRGB gamut when I soft proof against sRGB?

It's a bug IMHO. You'll see the same bug in Photoshop! I've written to some of the color gods within Adobe but haven't heard back. Bottom line, the OOG overlay isn't useful in the first place but it should be accurate. That is, if you soft proof an sRGB image with sRGB, you should see zero OOG colors. That isn't happening. Best ignore OOG anyway. It has always treated 1% and 100% OOG the same with an ugly overlay that blocks your image. And what are you supposed to do anyway? Manually desatruate to remove? Nope, not a good idea. The output profile will do this faster and with more precision, especially if you prefer the visual appearance from a Perceptual rendering which alters in and out of gamut colors.
Where OOG could be useful is when editing your master when not being careful with sliders like Vibrance or Saturation. The data is in a very wide gamut space using ProPhoto primaries. Even with a wide gamut display, there are colors you can alter you can't see. Having OOG pop up as an option in such a case could be useful: warning Will Robinson, don't move that slider so far! Short of that, the OOG overlay, which predates ICC color management in Photoshop where soft proofing was an option isn't useful.

Go Workshop. Part #1
Workshop conducted by: Stefan Wrocławski, Przemysław Dyszczyk, Katarzyna Mazurek, Przemysław Włodarski
Workshop in Go, the famous Chinese board game - conducted by the members of the polish go association: Stefan Wrocławski, Przemysław Dyszczyk, Katarzyna Mazurek, Przemysław Włodarski - will take place in The KNOT at Pole Mokotowskie on Friday 18 June 2010 (beginning at 15:00 hours) and on Sunday 20 June 2010 (beginning at 13:00 hours).
Go is an ancient, oriental strategic game. In the Far East it enjoys a significantly higher status than chess or bridge in European culture. Even though it has very simple rules, which even a child can master in 15 minutes, it is the most complicated strategic game in the world, with combinations that outnumber the amount of atoms in the universe!
The game involves putting black and white pawns, called stones, in turns to surround the largest possible area on a square board. Once put, stone cannot change its position, but it can be removed from the board in specific situations.
The workshop is aimed at introducing a large audience to rules of the game as well as presenting its rich culture and history. Every beginner is encouraged to practice on a daily basis, supervised by experienced players, in order to face other players in a final mini-tournament with attractive prizes. More advanced players are invited to participate in lectures given by one of the best Polish go-ists of now, Marek "Kamyk" Kamiński 3 dan. The workshop welcomes everyone from the age of 4, children, youth, adults and the elderly.
Maybe it's go that will become your hobby, philosophy and lifestyle?
Friday 18 June 2010
15:00-19:00 First steps for beginners
17:00-18:00 Lecture about go strategies, for beginners

brasschaat, antwerpen, Belgium
Two years ago I got my bachelor's degree in Graphic Design (specialized in illustration) at the royal academy of fine art Antwerp Belgium. Instead of starting my master year I choose to draw for a whole year to improve my drawing skills. After a couple of freelance projects I think I am ready for a job in the entertainment business. Drawing is of course my biggest passion in life and hope to find a job as an illustrator, graphic designer or concept artist. My education as an illustrator and graphic designer gave me a big package of knowledge on field of designing and everything that goes with. At the moment i doing some freelance work now and then. I just draw a lot and love it. I hope to grown and find my way in the entertainment industry.

My daughter started school this year.
After her first day, she told me that her teacher was bossy, there was too much lining up, sitting on the mat was boring and that the bell was irritating… I thought, welcome to the world, my darling girl.
She also declared she wouldn't be returning to school again.
Image via news.com.au.
Geez, I thought, at just the end of day one, this is going to be a long year! And it has been, the struggle to get my oldest, sensitive daughter to school each day has been a challenge. Some days are easier than others – and I've discovered a little bribery, otherwise known as 'positive reinforcement' might get her out the door. Or it might be simply that it's the tuck shop day or gym day that will be enough to get her to class without an argument, negotiation or tears.
What has also helped to get my daughter to let go of my hand and head into her classroom is the small, nurturing and gentle school where Allegra is enrolled. There is only one class per year, extra teachers aides and a very involved and caring school community.
We're lucky that as parents we have the economic freedom to be able to pay and pick the right school for our children.
Not everybody has that same freedom, so choice doesn't come into it. There are two terrific public schools in our area, but we felt the large number of classes they have in each year would be too overwhelming for our five year old. We had an option and have been able to choose the best school for our daughter.
However, such options are going to be harder for many families with the O'Farrell government's ridiculous decision to rip $1.7 billion out of the New South Wales education budget.
Figures have never been my strong point, but surely it is dumb to take money out of a system that is responsible for helping to shape, support and educate our greatest resource… our children?!

"Figures have never been my strong point- but surely it is dumb to take money out of a system that is responsible for helping to shape, support and educate our greatest resource – our children?!"
Not necessarily. Money has no intrinsic value of its own (you can't eat it, it doesn't make for a good clothing material and you're not even allowed to burn it for warmth). The only value it has in when you decide to exchange it for something else. In other words: It's what you spend the money on that counts.
The question therefore is: What are we currently spending $1.7 Billion on that we will no longer be getting? And what impact will it have when that product or service is no longer available?
There's an assumption that taking money out of anything "is bad" but again, it depends on how it's being spent. You could spend $10,000 on a lounge suite for example… and have a luxury leather lounge suite made by a renowned designer – and then panic everytime the kids are left alone near it – or you could spend $1,000 for something that the kids are allowed to spill their chocolate milk on without Mum going into a frenzy.
Right now, we seem to be spending an awful lot on education but we're getting very little for it in return. In fact it's hard to see why Education standards are declining given we are throwing so much money at the problem.
Clearly, something, somewhere, isn't being spent on something useful.
MadamBipolar September 13, 2012
These cuts are disgusting. As you said, why make cuts when they concern our children? Experts keep talking about our declining productivity and education is one way to boost that but all Barry cares about is that North West rail link. Disgusting.
I can remember Terry Metherell and that got ugly. The same could happen here. -
anne September 13, 2012
I can't help thinking that the state governments that can, are downsizing their commitment towards education because they know that the slack will be picked up when the federal government implements the Gonski recommendations. They are truly opportunistic, and it is very sad to see.
My daughter goes to a private school because the public school system, in the area where I live is deficient. My family makes enormous sacrifices to enable her education.
My two sons were pushed into the public system and both have got no where near their potential. They received inadequate supervision and support at school. One of my sons actually attended school for less than a complete term during his four years in high school. The education department reacted to his truancy (which they had no real picture of) by harassing me, even though I was attempting all sorts of avenues to get the problem fixed.
That is just my family. There are so many more who are going through the same ordeal. No wonder youth suicide and mental illness are so rampant.
Barry O'F and his mates should take a close look into their communities.
Steve Riethoff September 13, 2012
I don't understand how any politician can be ok with cutting education while having no problem caving in on the poker tax. How can they justify the cuts which will further impact our declining education standards while not acting on something which 1) will raise revenue in the short term while 2) hopefully improving a social issue
Ella September 28, 2012
The polies who make these cuts dont care about Public Schools because they wouldnt dream of sending their children to them.
We need to vote for people who are not so out of touch with the reality of the majority.
Julie Chisholm September 13, 2012
Well said, sister. How crazy is this straight after the Gonski report?
Cake and eat it September 13, 2012
By opting out of the public system the writer of this article has sent Barry a strong message. If more parents insisted on the Department bringing their local public school to scratch the government might pay attention. If we just say how important public education is but then hand money over for our children to attend a private school, we get the result we have now.
anne September 13, 2012
Can you suggest how one might insist? Haven't been able to get my insistence noted in the 17 years since my children have been exposed to the education system in NSW?
Martine September 13, 2012
50% of high school students currently attend non-government schools. According to the NSW Parents Council any child starting at a non-government school in NSW in 2013/14 will receive zero state government funding. Can the public system cope with a 50% influx of children? That is the implication of the proposed NSW school funding policy as the majority of parents won't be left with a choice.
Rose September 13, 2012
It's a very depressing time up here in Queensland. It seems that daily we are given another list of a thousand cuts. Here's some of the 'savings' that were announced by the Education Dept. yesterday (this one's for you Noogi!) Pyjama Foundation loses $100k this is one of the most wonderful & cost efficient supports to children in care with volunteers helping them weekly with literacy & numeracy. Triple P Parenting loses $291k – a 'best practice'/ made in QLD parenting program that has helped a phenomenal amount of parents & kids. Vision Australia loses $200k – these are therapists who provide incredible support for kids in schools with low or no vision. These are just a few from a list of 43 'savings'.
Now, why should I be so upset? I'm a foster carer. I care for the children whose parents need to be learning about parenting from Triple P. One of my kids has autism & a visual disability – so yes, a child whose needs by law, should be paramount in all decision making, will have less and less support available to him.
Meanwhile of course the child protection system is under unbelievable pressure with workers losing their jobs or not being replaced. Only one in ten matters brought to the attention of the department are investigated because there is not enough staff and resourcing.
I am furious and nobody in our government has the spine to speak out or to do the right thing. Don't get me started on the NDIS! It's shameful and a vile political game where the kids and the vulnerable lose.-
Rosie September 14, 2012
Rose – "shameful and a vile political game" – you said it all right there. Seems it is all about winning Government and the power trip. My thoughts are with Queenslanders every day – the cuts are obscene – health and education being the major recipients. Hang in there girl.

I am a high school learning support teacher, just cannot believe the news yesterday about cuts and how politicians can justify doing this.
I soppose I will be seen as an extra and maybe not necessary never mind that I help students do homework as not all parents can help at home. I break down assessment tasks for those students who cannot understand what they have to do. I find relevant research material at a level that often the not so capable student can understand. I make students feel good about themselves, what they are doing and how they are achieving no matter what level they are at. I talk to students….not important I guess.
Again…..I cannot begin to understand the cuts. By the way didn't the Gonski report state that we needed more $$$$ in education!

Education is so topical on The Hoopla right now! I work in the Catholic System in NSW and we are being cut to the tune of 24.1 million. I have a girl in my class who is one of 8 children. If these proposed cuts go ahead I know that her family will not be able to afford the extra fees for each child each year. She will not be the only one, and these children will then be sent to the govt system, placing further burden there. Our LSA's will be cut and my two students on the autism spectrum will need to be fully aided by me, thus taking away from the other 25 in my class. I currently spend at least $500 of my own money each year on resources and extra bits and pieces that my class need to be able to enjoy the variety of things we do in creative and visual arts/science. And I know I am not alone there. My class currently receive $10 per term per child for stores, which comes out of their fees. this covers books, pencils, paper and other items. I am sure you all know that $260 per term for these things does not go a long way. We are not allowed to ask parents to chip in extra as this is why they pay their fees and we are not in an affluent area. To stay current our school needs to keep IT resources updated, iPads being all the rage at the moment and they are also especially helpful for those with hearing impairments, dyspraxia and other communication disorders. I absolutely love my job, I love my class and the parents are fantastic. These cuts will place a burden on all of us and I am going to lose some of these gorgeous families as a result.

I would like to know what is happening to all these kids paying high uni fees for jobs in fields like teaching, health, public service that have much less hope now of jobs in the future due to all these cuts.
And what about the kids coming through high school in year 10 12, planning on careers in important areas being shrunk under Liberal Goverance.
Years of hard slogging and crying for services for communites GONE over night. As well as careers once thought highly off and were good paying jobs. Where is the securty for our kids and their future and what direction do they study for as job careers now? -

Clearly the Premier rather refurbish the Randwick Racecourse at the tune of $80 million instead of considering our children and their future .

And federal funding is linked to state funding, so when the states cut funding the federal amount also declines. This sytsem of funding was introduced by Howard and Abbott/ Pyne have declared to keep it rather than Gonski.
