North East Victoria : October 2008
Employment Employment North East Victoria's pleasant lifestyle is as much about people having secure jobs as it is about the beautiful scenery they enjoy, writes HOWARD JONES W ODONGA and Wangaratta city councils and neighbouring shires are all devoted to attracting new jobs and maintaining existing employment. Diversity is the key to the region's jobs base, which ranges from farming to factories, from transport to health and education. Most workers are in medium to small enterprises, whether in the private or public sector. Many rely on "big fi sh'' such as Tenix and Mars Petcare Australia (formerly Uncle Ben's) in Wodonga, Uncle Tobys at Wahgunyah and Bruck at Wangaratta. At Wangaratta, for instance, Security Foods' $30 million new export abattoir will employ 200, but another 200 to 300 indirect jobs seem likely. Such an industry also should act as a catalyst for further industrial development. Wodonga's success in attracting a Safeway regional distribution centre to the Logic hub at Barnawartha North has certainly drawn other companies. Next came national transport company Border Express. PacLib Industrial bought 23ha with a view to attracting more warehousing and manufactur- ing, RNM Nominees, has bought 4ha, refriger- ated transport company Roadmaster 7ha and Cope Sensitive Transport 3.71ha. All these promise new jobs over time, but there's plenty of land left at the 610ha Logic Desperately seeking In addition to numerous casual and temporary job vacancies in North East Victoria, regional employers are currently advertising the following positions in The Border Mail and online at www.mycareer.com.au 12D designer Apprentice chefs Bar staff Baristas Business managers Chartered accountant estate, while Wodonga hopes to see a Toll rail terminal built. Wodonga council also is close to naming a private developer of new saleyards at Barnawartha in a venture that will allow the Bandiana yards to close. That in turn will free up more potential industrial land near the army bases. Already the Defence Department intends to build $26 million warehouse at East Bandiana. This will be part of a $36 million upgrade creating scores of construction jobs in 2009 and 2010. Both Wangaratta and Wodonga councils also are focusing on improving entertainment. Wangaratta has just begun its $7.6 million redevelopment of the town hall site for a performing arts centre to be fi nished in 2009. Wodonga is looking forward to a $25 million project incorporating several cinemas, a bowl- ing alley, apartments and shops. On the retail front, Wangaratta is about to have a new ALDI supermarket and a Hungry Jacks. Wodonga's big retail shake-up continues, with a new centre planned for the former Mann complex and more shops when the railway is relocated. Bunnings Warehouse will be joined soon by the new Wodonga Homemaker Centre on Anzac and Victoria Cropss Parades. A similar homemaker centre is proposed to the west.

Sitting in the kitchen of a lovely couple, Ron and Kate. Letting a hardy breakfast settle and great conversation brew. How did we end up here? Great question. After another 130km day we roll in to a quaint little town with food on our minds. At what multitasks as a Chinese restaurant and everything else eatery, Kate befriends us, offering a spot in her garden for us to sleep. We had our eye on the local campground and decided to check it out first before accepting the local hospitality. A short, yet heated, argument over the price of a couple of tents, by the train tracks no less! Encouraged us to revisit Kate's generous offer. A few laughs, great conversation, a funny movie (a luxury on this trip) and the recognition of kindred spirits.
Walking around the house you would notice inspiring phrases like; Live, Laugh, Take the gentle path, Talk much, and Happiness. All quotes I view as important in my own life. I have no doubt we were meant to meet these people. Ron, soft spoken, sharp witted, shared his enduring battle with a multitude of cancers. Upbeat, no complaints and eternally grateful for what he has. He is an inspiration for me and should be for anyone going through the hardships of cancer.
A beautiful day, a full belly, and a re-appreciation for what I have. We set our sites to the Eastern horizon, is that Manitoba?

Well today was really nice, the sun did come out for a while to say hello, before the clouds took over. Which reminds me of a story about two months back I had let a friend of mine use my camera which I always carry with me in the truck, and while coming home up the mountain I made a turn and just had to stop and pull over to look at this awesome cloud that was just sitting half way down the mountain, it looked as if the cloud said I'll rest here a bit before moving on. you could see the mountain above and below it. I thought wow what a shot, so I reached for my CAMERA.. o well at least I have the shot in my mind.
wow if any of you have been watching the news, what the heck is giong on? dead birds, fish all over the world. many just falling from the sky. I can't say what is going on but you can bet humans had a hand in it some how. our greed. I guess in the end mother earth will get tired of us and we shall start falling down dead until our numbers reduce down. People really don't stop and think about things until they are taken away and you have to do without it for a while. Two points here I know a young married couple and the guy hasn't been treating his wife very well at all, so I told her to leave him, she said I love him to much, Yes but your not happy, so take off for about three months and I bet you when you return things with him will be a lot better...
Due to all the rain we have had this year the lake which is the water supply for all of panama city was filled with dirt and mud from the mountains, now the water plant can't clean that amount of dirt out of it and they are having to wait until it all settles down. so going on 3 weeks the good folks in the city are doing without water. bottled water here is hard to find, and the other day the beer company said they might not have beer next week due to it!! oooo my the world will end..............
where I live which is up in the mountains we have fresh water pouring out of the ground. You can drill 200 ft down and up comes the most clearest water ever, of course it is warm, some places hot!!! but it has nothing in it. clear fresh and clean, no smell at all. That's what I see that is going to wipe out millions of people, no fresh water to even drink. Right now the super rich are buying up large tracts of land that has fresh water under them and are pumping them dry to sell to, drum roll please CHINA. yep you see china has this out look on things make crappy toy's that the gringo's in the u.s. will buy and who cares where you dump the waste from doing it. along with 1 billion 600 million people all flushing the can at least 5 times a day, not counting the showers. All these people packed into that small area, no wonder what water they do have is bad. They are buying our fresh water and pumping it into a tanker then they fill a whole line of these huge floating bags which these ships tow back to china, once there, they pump all of it off into their water plant, turn around and head right back for another load.
gas here is 3.30 a gal, bottle water is higher then that fuel as of right now.. soon it's going to cost far more. and of course the rich will be in charge of it and will say who gets it and who doesn't. One thing many people are not aware of and it's going on all over the u.s. is a little thing called cracking. Here's the story. your sitting up in the hills on say 200 acres of really pretty farm and wooded land. and up comes two well dressed young men that shake your hand and tell you that they work for a large natural gas company. we all know how clean natural gas is and how good it is for the u.s right??? so these men inform you that according to their test your sitting on a large field of it.. and they are willing to share in the profits with you!!! momma we have done gone and hit the jack pot. well they sign and soon the well goes up and the drilling starts, wow lot of trucks cutting up our road, and dang that drill sure makes a lot of noise, wow don't they stop to sleep? soon they drill down into the earth and then they drill sideways, after that's done they pump in thousands of gallons of chemicals and water and this makes the bedrock crack, which releases the natural gas which they pump off. They do this same thing around 12 to 15 times. once all that gas is pumped out they pack up and head to the next farm. o wait I forgot the best part, they do pump off that gas, but they don't pump off all those thousands of gals of chemicals and water, you see each time they crack it they lose all of that, it drains deep into the ground, forcing them to add more to it each time.
now in many of these places they get all their drinking water right out of that same ground, which now isn't fit to drink, which means every home in that county just lost their clean water supply for ever. Their crops die, their fishing ponds are all dead their trees and flowers start to die off. wild life dies or has to move off and your stuck with 200 acres of a dead zone. even the water in your kitchen sink with burn.. what? water burns? nawwww right out of the tap? come on!!! you say, what have I been drinking today? well here's a little 30 sec. video watch it..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRZ4LQSonXA
how can this be allowed to happen? where is the EPA? bought off. you don't count. you are not important, your life and that of your children means nothing. This is only one reason I wanted to move out the the u.s. trust me there are many more reasons, but I wanted to live someplace where you could at least be a little free to do as you please. like here no one is beating on my door to tell me to paint my house this color of that or else. but you know even here times are changing and one day that day will come as well. government is getting bigger and bigger and taking more and more of your freedoms as well as your money. where can I move to next?
maybe a boat in the middle of the ocean? a small hut on the back side of a mountain that takes a day's walk to get too?
It's getting crazy. lets look at one thing to own and drive a car in panama. keep in mind when I came here many of these things were not needed, even ins wasn't.
now to drive a car. you need driver lic. fee's for that, takes a few days to get. you have to have a blood test done!! you take a written test, and a driving test, eye and hearing test. ok so that's normal.
Ins. must be paid for that car. fee for that. ins papers must be in car and up to date at all times.
window sticker.
a attt card showing all info on you and your car.
then you have to have police paperwork in case you have a wreck. you must have these forms at all times in your car, and you must have a camera in your car to photo wreck at all times.
now they are going to start charging a road use tax based on the price of your car.. and when they first passed this law which now they had to go back and change it, it was not done based on the cost of your car today, it was based on the new price of your car when new!! pretty soon I will have to have a filing box screwed into the back seat just to hold all the forms and paperwork needed when I am stopped at a check point which are popping up all over the place!! hello officer, hello, drivers lic please, attt card please, visa card please, camera please, wreck forms please, ins forms please, proof of road use payment please, ok let me just check your tags and window sticker ok have a nice day, next!!!!!!

Stumbled onto your blog
Hi Mark - I recently found your blog while doing some cursory searching on expats living in Central America. I really enjoy what you've had to say and you seem to have learned quite a bit about Panama in living there. I'm in the states, but have traveled to Central America about a half dozen times. I've always liked my stay there and for years have been considering an extended stay. Not sure I have the cajones to commit to purchasing a residency, but I want to find out some details on long term rentals. Do you have any tips? Websites you'd reccomend? Any insight on the monthly rent of something near the beach (fairly bare bone as I'd be saving to live)? Thanks! Larin
hard to go against the tide of government
In many cultures now, there is an increase in the number of government employees, like a snake choking its victim, some people would probably say... But do you think the snake is not very strong to get you down there, or are you just enjoying those last few breaths?
For my part, I certainly find it annoying when the person at the tax office smiles and taxes my money all the time right to the bank to buy more stuff for themselves. But on the other hand, after living in so many places where freedom of speech were less important than pride, I prefer back in the states overall.
One thing that is annoying, according to the actuaries this is temporary, is that the poor people here don't need to work. They can just go get their check etc. So when I hire people to work hard doing some X, Y, or Z, and then actually expect them to work hard, they can just say, oh, you actually want me to work? And just not come back, get another one of their checks etc.
Glad to see that you are able to see the brighter side in any case!

19 Dec Why I LOVE Christmas at Lighthouse…
Trust me: in this day and age, hearing a blessed melody echo through annnnny school is a rare thing–which makes it the first item on my LCS Christmas email this year. But wait, there's more! 🙂
I'm happy that Lighthouse has a Christmas banner out front. Somehow, over the past couple of decades, saying "Merry Christmas," sadly, has become more and more taboo. It's refreshing that we celebrate it!
I'm relieved to serve in a place where each staff member is kind, compassionate, and Christ-loving. I've never seen such a happy, healthy faculty. Ever.
I'm blessed that LCS is a joyful place to work. Yesterday alone I had at least three belly laughs. Mostly courtesy of Mrs. Sturgis' zany humor.
We praise God at chapel! We. Honor. Him. For He alone is worthy.
The families at LCS give me strength, joy, and encouragement. You are not "takers," you are givers… and blessers (is that a word?). 🙂
Christ's presence in this place is drawing me nearer to Him. Though I expected to "pour myself out" while serving boys and girls here, I am also growing in my faith [may it always be so].
Young children skip in the hallway. This makes me grin. I don't have the heart to ask 'em to stop, 'cause it's just too cute. Unless it's done by comparatively giant 8th graders. Which is decidedly less endearing. *smile*
Most of all, I love how my kids' faith is becoming their own. Case in point? Thanks to the influence of Godly women like Mrs. Jimenez, Finnigan, Kelly, and Isenberg, my middle schooler is truly excited about Jesus. Ya see:
When Abby quotes Biblical truth from Mrs. Isenberg, her eyes light up while her voice lifts with joy. I see this "growing knowing" at all grade levels, and for each of my children. It is the main reason I have my kids at LCS, praise God [may it always be so].
I reckon I'd better sign off. After all, it's time for me to order pizza to bless a group of 8th graders.
These "table tigers," with no demands for recompense, help clean the lunchroom each day. Yep! Boys and girls here are heeding their Bible teacher's call to serve [may it always be so].
Merry Christmas from the counseling office,
Jon Johansen

There was certainly nothing lacking at No Music on Friday night.
See those delightful fellas above? Not only are they a couple of rays of sunshine, they're also damn fine photographers at that. Sam Brumby and James Adams embarked on a mission to prove they are more than just music photographers, a mission which led them here to Monster Children HQ.
One of the guys remarked that our quite sizeable space might not be big enough for the turnout. And, he was right. The crowd spilled out onto the street (much to the concern of our most sober Monster Children employee who was running the joint), all trying to get a look at the phenomenal work on display. Fed and watered with icy cold Budweisers and pizza from our local, we finally kicked everyone out to continue on to the conveniently located Lady Hampshire just around the corner. Big thanks to Pixel Perfect for hooking us up with the amazing print job, Budweiser for the beers, Tatachilla for the vino and Life Without Andy for shooting. Go on, have a little stalk and check out all the happenings below.
Missed out on getting a print or a zine? You can buy work from Sam Brumby and James Adams right here.

Keystone Veterinary Behavior Services
Better Behavior is the Keystone to a Better Life With Your Pet
Meet Caprice
When Caprice's owner, Lorraine, first contacted the Dr. Bergman she and her dog were in dire straits. She had gotten the 5 year old female German Shepherd from a rescue group only 5 months earlier, but it felt like a lifetime. Since she was adopted, Caprice was diagnosed with a serious, but manageable eye condition, and worked up for a possible abdominal mass and areas of hairloss on her tail. But these physical problems paled in comparison to Caprice's behavior on walks.
In the house, Caprice was a perfect dog. She hardly ever barked, she was gentle and affectionate with Lorraine and her husband Mike, who had health problems of his own. She had no problems being left home alone and overall was fitting in wonderfully in her new home. Outside, however, Caprice was a different dog. On walks, Caprice was constantly on guard, scanning and sniffing for other dogs. At the sight of another dog, even 100 feet or more away, Caprice would take off running and barking. Several times Lorraine was injured when Caprice took off after another dog and she was pulled to the ground.
Lorraine tried different types of collars, including choke chains and prong collars for walks. She met with a trainer who suggested using a Gentle Leader and positive reinforcement training. Caprice improved a little, but remained hypervigilant and almost impossible for Lorraine to control on walks.
Even though many people would have given up on a dog like Caprice, especially after suffering through a broken finger and bruised ribs, Lorraine felt that Caprice was worth the effort because she was so sweet and gentle at home. So when her local veterinarian referred Caprice to Dr. Bergman, Lorraine immediately scheduled an appointment.
Caprice was diagnosed with Fear Based Aggression towards other dogs. Even though she is a large dog and a breed that is often thought of as "tough" or "aggressive," Caprice showed many fearful and anxious behaviors when she encountered other dogs. Since she was originally found as a stray, we will never know why she started to show this "shoot first, ask questions later" sort of aggression. Regardless of the origin of the aggression, we all felt that Caprice had the ability to change, if she could start to learn to trust Lorraine to keep safe and guide her through her encounters with other dogs.
Caprice's initial treatment involved management changes and behavior modification exercises. These helped Lorraine to gain a little more physical control over Caprice when on walks. In the house, Caprice began to be more responsive to Lorraine and Mike if she saw or heard other dogs outside but she still continued to react to dogs she saw on walks. Because of her highly reactive state, Caprice was started on an anti-anxiety medication. Just as when a psychiatrist prescribes medication for a person, Dr. Bergman sought to find a medication that would reduce Caprice's fears and anxieties without wiping out the good sides of her personality. Medication alone very rarely is able to significantly change a pet's behavior. What medication has done for Caprice is made it easier to focus on Lorraine when she encounters another dog. This has allowed Caprice to learn more through the behavior modification exercises. Caprice no longer feels the need to constantly scan for the presence of other dogs or react aggressively to dogs that are half a football field away. With the help of her trainer, who has been able to assist Lorraine in implementing the behavior modification exercises prescribed by Dr. Bergman, Lorraine and Caprice continue to make strides in improving Caprice's behavior.
Lorraine Speaks: My Wild Child
Caprice started out as a foster dog but was so sweet we decided to adopt. I was told she was other dog aggressive but did not realize how fearful and highly reactive she was when I first brought her home. After trying different collars and harnesses to control her and sustaining a few minor injuries from falls when she saw another dog, I enlisted the help of a professional trainer. My standard of using gentle methods was met and we made some progress. The falls continued. I turned Dr. Laurie Bergman and SHE MADE HOUSE CALLS! Car rides was another of Caprice's fears. Dr. Bergman helped me find the correct tools to control Caprice and eliminate falls. Through her guidance and work with our trainer, Caprice has accepted the presence of and walks with another dog. There will be more.
Before working with Dr. Bergman, I was beginning to feel I was failing with Caprice. Now I have more confidence in myself. We have never used a harsh or physical correction with her. It was very important to me not to over-stimulate her and have her obey out of fear. We will continue working with Dr. Bergman. She has been extremely kind and thoughtful in her approach to desensitize Caprice. Caprice and I look forward to continuing our progress with Dr. Bergman and overcoming her fears.

It is important to studiously prepare for preaching and or teaching. In II Timothy 2:15 we are told to study. If we study, we will know what we are believing. The more we study, we learn more. We are to be able to give an answer to every man who asks us what we believe. We are told this in I Peter 3:15. We, as Christians are to diligently study to have this confidence.
About twenty years ago, I heard a story about
unconditional love that
has stayed with me. I'd like to share it with you. The story is about a
newlywed couple. A few weeks after their wedding, the young bride was
in a terrible automobile accident. Her face was so mangled up, so
re-arranged; but her husband lovingly cared for her. He knew the inner
beauty that she possessed and her caring attitude. That is what he
loved about her.
In the book, the author told of being as strong as a
sparrow. I
told my husband that, and he laughed. Well, sparrows are very tiny
birds. He wondered where their strength was. Watching birds is relaxing
to me. They fly from one tree to another. I thought how I had watched
sparrows hopping around on their tiny, thin legs. Jesus said that God
is aware of each thing that happens even to sparrows, and you are so
much more important to him than they are.

I've recently had a great deal of Žižekianism imported into my home (initially most adamantly not invited by me). Yesterday, a moment of illumination appeared for me in Ernesto Laclau's preface to one of Slavoj Žižek's earliest books, The Sublime Object of Ideology. The main thesis of this book (and, one could add, of his copious later writings) is, according to Laclau:
that the category of 'subject' cannot be reduced to the 'positions of subject', since before subjectivation the subject is the subject of lack (p. xii)
This assumption (the subject of lack) forms one of the fundamental differences between a Laclauian approach to discourse analysis, and approaches developing from Foucault or (critical) discourse analysis. Could we say it is the "why" question? Žižek later in the same book criticises those analyses which do not ask the why question. Althusser, for instance 'never succeeeded in thinking out the link between Ideological State Apapratuses and ideological interpellation' (p. 43). Why does the ISA produce subjectivation effects, why does it interpellate (hail/call) its subject into being, why does it produce the recognition of one's subject position?
As a friend of mine said recently, if we knew the answer to the "why" question, we could control the world. So, first, perhaps it is not possible to answer it, and second, perhaps it is not necessary to ask it. But it is very tempting to speculate, and Lacanian psychoanalysis does offer one line of approach (as long as we are clear about its set of presuppositions) to exploring it. I think I'm softening towards the master…

text: Lindsay Marie, also known as MsLindsayM in the online world, is a feminist and a body positivity activist. She is a survivor of sexual assault and recovered from disordered eating. As a result of her experience with both the modeling industry and eating disorders, she has developed a strong passion for helping women achieve radical self-love, especially when it comes to their bodies. Lindsay believes that representation matters and that when we see images of ourselves in the media we are empowered. As a result, she started the hashtag #selfiesforselflove and is a strong believer in the power of social media to make change. When women celebrate their own beauty, especially if they fall outside of society's predetermined beauty norms (ie. white, thin, cis & able-bodied), they are able to feel more comfortable in their own skin. Lindsay is active on all social media platforms including; Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Tumblr. She actively speaks up against diet culture and makes it known how triggering those types of conversations can be for some women. She supports women in finding their own personal best regardless of the size they wear, what foods they choose to eat and whether or not exercise is a part of their lives. Lindsay believes that all people should be able to live a life free of oppression and harassment, especially when it comes to their personal lifestyle choices. She supports the idea that sizeism should be part of the intersectional feminist movement in the same way that racism, heterosexism, and classism are.

The Jerusalem Post reports:
Nearly thirty thousand Jews moved to Israel in 2015, up from 26,500 last year, the Jewish Agency for Israel announced on Thursday.
Aliya has been on the rise in recent years, driven largely by the flow of immigrants from France and Ukraine, with this year's increase following last year's thirty two percent surge in newcomers, which was at the time characterized by Jewish Agency chairman Natan Sharansky as "a year of record-breaking aliya."
France became the leading source of immigrants for the first time last year with almost 7,000, double the number from 2013. This year's numbers mark a ten percent increase over last year, however, with 7,900 French Jews relocating here.

The Australian grain sector has lost over $54 million since deregulation due to trader insolvencies. Using written contracts and dealing with known businesses may help reduce counterparty risk but unfortunately when it comes down to claiming legal property title, someone else may have already beaten you to it.
In this article we look at how the Personal Property Security Register (PPSR), can be used to protect from counterparty risk not just for grain, but any other agricultural transaction.
In 2012 The Federal Government introduced the Personal Property Security Register (PPSR) to help individuals and businesses secure their rights to personal property, ensuring it is adequately protected when involved parties become insolvent. Using this online registration can be a simple way for producers to reduce risk in their business and improve their position for financing, yet less than 1% of registrations last year were for agricultural collateral. So how can it be used by businesses in agriculture and is it worth the effort?
It is recommended that for any transaction where a party gains possession of your property (goods), whether for lease, long term storage or ownership, you should register your security interest in that property using the PPSR.
Failing to register your interest, could mean that you lose rights to recover the goods or proceeds once they are sold or leased by the buyer if they were to become insolvent or fail to pay. To top it off, priority of rights under registration by multiple parties with interest is quite often served on a first in time first in line basis, so registering as soon as the contract or financial statement is received is the safest option.
There are three main ways in which you can use the PPSR:
- Check on the register that goods you want to buy or lease are free of financed debt i.e. safe from possible repossession.
- Register your security interest in the goods or assets to help ensure interest is protected to reclaim. For example, growers should register their interest in delivered grain as this will protect against grain buyer or bulk handler insolvency, even when the grain is comingled.
- By using the register for your business, financiers will be able to view your security interests and have more confidence in your businesses which may make lending more attractive.
Farm transactions and agreements that may leave you with security interest include:
- Selling or buying livestock, wool, timber, grain, feed or fertiliser, crops & nursery trees under Retention of Title (ROT)
- Leasing or other hiring out of stud or breeding cattle, horses, sheep etc
- Selling, leasing or purchasing farm machinery
- Agistment agreements
Now while all you need to register is a PPSR account and a written agreement or financial statement related to the purchase or sale, like most things in life there is a small price tag ($6.80) attached to each registration. However, by describing your goods under contract and registration as "all goods, now and in the future, supplied by 'seller name' to 'buyer name'" one registration can be used to cover all goods and assets supplied to that party.
Like insurance, with any luck taking the time and money to protect your security interests using the PPSR will prove a waste. But if the day comes when your rights are in question, the PPSR will have your back.
What does this mean?
By registering your security interest in goods you have yet to receive payment for you can lessen the risk of losing the goods and recover the debt if the customer does not pay or become insolvent. Searching the register for claims of existing security interest against second-hand goods you wish to purchase will inform you whether these goods could be repossessed if the seller becomes insolvent.
Key Points
- If you enter a transaction where someone else gains possession of your goods, you should register your security interest in those goods using the PPSR.
- If you buy second-hand equipment, it is worthwhile performing a search on the PPSR.
- It can help ensure you have title to regain your proceeds in the fallout of insolvencies.
- Protecting yourself against counterparty default, is an approprive risk management strategy to undertake.
- Get in quick, as priority to claims is often given to the party that registers first
- Using the PPSR could help to finance your business

Angelina Jolie is returning to the world of animation for her next film.
The Salt star will voice Stella the elephant in Disney's The One and Only Ivan adaptation, a project she had previously only signed on for as a producer.
The film, which centers on a silverback gorilla named Ivan who lives in a cage in a shopping mall, will be based on Katherine Applegate's book of the same name, while Thea Sharrock will direct.
The new movie will also feature live-action elements, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Jolie is no stranger to animated films, having previously stepped into the recording booth for movies including Shark Tale and the Kung Fu Panda franchise.
The 42-year-old took time away from her career to focus on her family after splitting from husband Brad Pitt last year (16). However, she recently announced plans to return to the big screen, lining up the Maleficent sequel as her next project.
"I've taken over a year off (in total) now, because of my family situation, to take care of my kids," she told The Hollywood Reporter. "I look forward to having some fun with that (Maleficent sequel)."
"I am now the breadwinner for the family, so it's time," Jolie also joked to Deadline.com last month (Sep17). "We have been working on the script and this is going to be a really strong sequel."
Meanwhile, her latest directorial effort, First They Killed My Father, premiered on Netflix in September (17). The film is based on Cambodian human rights activist Loung Ung's memoir, which documents her experience as a young girl growing up under the brutal Khmer Rouge regime.

My sports betting picks do extend beyond football which may seem hard to believe given my recent articles. Even though NFL and NCAA betting keeps my attention during the football season, I do keep an eye on NHL Hockey, NBA Basketball, and Soccer betting.
So with that in mind let's take a look at some sports betting picks and see if we can find some value. And when in doubt, do your own research to make sure that you are comfortable with my picks.
Sports Betting Picks – NBA Basketball
The NBA season has taken off much as anticipated and the Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, and the San Antonio Spurs are racking up wins. The Toronto Raptors continue to excel and the Los Angeles Clippers are in the mix.
What has been surprising is the recent form of the Houston Rockets and the Memphis Grizzlies who have left the Kevin Durant-less Oklahoma Thunder in fifth place. If the Rockets and the Grizzlies can continue at the same pace then the NBA Western Conference is going to be even more competitive. Take a look at NBA Future lines and odds, and I think taking a team like the Houston Rockets to win their conference and then hedging down the road could be a winner.
Best Sportsbook Picks – NHL Hockey Betting
The fastest game on the planet is still, well, fast. Hockey betting is always a ton of fun although I don't claim to do that well at it. NHL wagering requires a sensibility about the game which I just don't have so I avoid pucklines. I do however profile teams for Total Goal bets which I like.
It has been an interesting season with some of last season's top teams prospering, and a few surprises along the way. You may recall that I thought that the Ottawa Senators would be a good NHL future bet at the start of the season and so far at 16-10 they are doing well.
Other surprises have been the Minnesota Wild and the Columbus Blue Jackets. I like the Blue Jackets at +1000 to win the Eastern Conference, again with the idea of hedging them off down the road.
Betting On Soccer – English Premier League
Don't let the last name Rodriguez fool you, I have a little Irish in me! As such I have a genetic connection to soccer mostly of the European type as opposed to the MLS type- congratulations however to the Seattle Sounders on winning the MLS championship. With that in mind I usually bet English Premier League as it is the one I am most familiar with.
I have done very well with betting big favorites which seems like a sucker bet but I think in EPL betting it pays off. Where you can get screwed is in draws more so than outright losses, so make sure to use RealBet's Live Betting platform to hedge any bets in game if necessary.
However, I must admit that my depth of betting knowledge on "footie" is a a bit shallow so tread with care. At this point it looks like Chelsea is absolutely running away with the Premier League and traditional favorite Manchester United will struggle to make the top 4. Which is all the better reason to bet Man U. against middle of the table teams as they will get better as the season goes on. Lots of talent and an elite level coach in Jose Mourinho will see them start to pick up more games as the season progresses.

An Alaskan pipeline worker who attacked an unemployed Hillside man he thought was financially exploiting his aunt was convicted of misdemeanor battery today by a DuPage County judge.
Tim Kristy, 48, of Wasilla, Alaska, had been concerned for several years about the relationship between David Little, 46, of Hillside, and Kristy's aunt, now 71, who lives alone in Elmhurst.
Kristy, who has no criminal record, faced up to a year in the county jail. But Judge William Ferguson, who presided over the bench trial, sentenced Kristy to one year of conditional release, a minor form of probation that allows the conviction to stay off his record if he maintains good conduct.
Kristy was charged with several counts of battery following the Jan. 10, 2011 incident in which he waited for Little outside of the Christian Science Reading Room in downtown Elmhurst, where his aunt often worked. When Little approached, Kristy confronted him.

In Climate Controversy, Industry Cedes Ground
Support Grows for Caps On CO2 Emissions; Big Oil Battles Detroit
The global-warming debate is shifting from science to economics.
For years, the fight over the Earth's rising temperature has been mostly over what's causing it: fossil-fuel emissions or natural factors beyond man's control. Now, some of the country's biggest industrial companies are acknowledging that fossil fuels are a major culprit whose emissions should be cut significantly over time.

Got a Better Photo of Miss Tina
She got kind of hungry and ate, thankfully, this morning. A healthy dose of dandelion (we found two in our backyard), dried plantain and some spring mix. Our neighbors have some dandelion too but we aren't sure if they spray so we aren't going to pick any from them.
To answer some of your questions. We got her from a local shop that deals in reptiles and had her checked by a veterinarian that specializes in reptiles too. Not quite sure how old she is but, she is about 5 inches big now and might get up to 10 inches big by the time she is full grown. Pennsylvania doesn't allow you to sell them when they are smaller than 4 inches big, good rule.
She can live any where from 50 to 100 years so my grand kids will be taking care of her!!
