Ok, it's one of the things that keeps you from getting better at jiu jitsu, but it's a pretty big thing that we all face, and should talk about.
I'm going to indulge the 13 year old in me for a moment and relate today's post to the lyric of a song that I enjoy, "Dear Death Part 1" (the band is Emery, in case you're wondering)
"It's the wrong side of fear that kept me out"
We could nitpick this phrase all day until it doesn't make sense anymore, however I feel it can be applied to parts of our jiu jitsu journey…career…adventure? Adventure, I like it- we're sticking with that phrase for now.
As I mentioned, we all have to face it as some point: the fear of failure, the fear of making a mistake, creating a vulnerability and being swept, submitted, etc. We put so much time…

A year after joining Chelsea for around £40million, Tiemoue Bakayoko has been shipped out on loan.
Paul Pogba will be the subject of a January Barcelona bid. And Klopp needs some paracetamol.
Plus Boateng rejects United offer, Bakayoko leaving Chelsea but Kovacic in on loan...
Tiemoue Bakayoko was substituted at half-time against Leicester. Antonio Conte explains why.
They came, they saw, they tried to be noticed. Which summer signings are feeling unwanted?
Chelsea have a problem. His name is Tiemoue Bakayoko. Where does their midfield third wheel fit in?
The ten worst players in the Premier League's top six this season? This should be fun.
Not the most convincing defence from Antonio Conte of Tiemoue Bakayoko. But he is "very young".
He's wrong, but we admire the Chelsea midfielder's confidence that he's on same level as N'Golo Kante.
Tiemoue Bakayoko has "got to do more", according to former Chelsea midfielder Glenn Hoddle.
Chelsea star Tiemoue Bakayoko escaped injury after crashing his car following training on Thursday...
Wenger got it right! Thoughts on Ramsey, Willian, Iwobi, Bakayoko, Xhaka, Morata and much more...
Tiemoue Bakayoko is nowhere near fully fit, but who else is there? Conte needs signings fast...
We did this in August 2016. To say there are a couple of updates would be an understatement.
New signing shocks world by saying nice thing about his new club.
"For me this is the biggest English club, and I hope to achieve great things here."
"It is a club I loved very much in my childhood," says Bakayoko after signing a five-year contract...
Chelsea have agreed a £39.8m fee for Bakayoko. United 'hope Chelsea will agree to sell Matic for a similar fee'.
Man United are not content with upstaging Chelsea just once this summer. But will they get Dier too?
"With the Monaco project, maybe it's not possible to always keep the best." Fill your boots...
It's easy to say 'poor Monaco' as their team is ripped apart. But this is where they excel - in selling and rebuilding.
Man United will not get Harry Kane for less than £200m, while Liverpool's midfield target is an exorbitant price.
Tiemoue Bakayoko arriving at Chelsea could mean Nemanja Matic to Man United, who wanted Gomes.
Arsenal want another midfielder, Chelsea to finally get going, could Palace appoint former Juve boss?
Another one Utd never wanted anyway. They're eyeing up his team-mate or Nemanja Matic...
Chelsea are closing in on Tiemoue Bakayoko, with Monaco interested in taking a Blues striker...
Tiemoue Bakayoko lets PSG down gently: "I can't leave for a club that has finished behind me." Ouch.
United want Matic. And Fabinho. And Neto. And Semedo. And Walker. And Neymar. And Bakayoko. And Dybala...
Why would Man United pay £40m for Dier? Why would Liverpool take a massive risk on Salah?
Tiemoue Bakayoko has fans at Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United, but PSG might be leading this race.

text: For all of the single-minded, throat-stomping brutality in Hatebreed's music, there's a Zen-like quality to the band's M.O. that's almost dare one say it peaceful. And with their new, fourth album, Supremacy, vocalist Jamey Jasta and his bandmates have rediscovered the inner peace that's evaded them since 2003's The Rise of Brutality made Hatebreed one of the biggest metallic-hardcore bands on the planet. With relentless touring (including an Ozzfest 2006 main-stage slot), business ventures (a record label and tattoo shop, among others) and moonlighting gigs (he hosts MTV2's Headbanger's Ball) pushing him to near-burnout, Jasta has turned his negative energy into one of the most steadfast, uplifting sets of mosh-pit anthems in Hatebreed's arsenal. And with new guitarist Frank Novinec (ex-Terror, Integrity) bringing his well-honed riffage to the party, Supremacy is also one of the band's leanest, meanest albums to date. Which is to say it's pretty much like everything else Hatebreed has ever recorded, but different.

Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has dismissed proposals that would keep open the Vandalia Correctional Center, reiterating that the state must close "outdated" prisons to fund education, reports the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The governor said that, "All of the experts that we've talked to, who have come up with a plan, have felt that consolidating the prison system is the way to get more efficiency in the system, save a lot of money and …invest it in priorities like building schools."
Blagojevich said a proposal to boost fees charged to parolees would "brings a small amount of money and from a practical standpoint would not be easy to collect." Senate Republican Leader Frank Watson, one of the prison's biggest proponents, said the parolee fees would bring in $10 million and he had suggested spending cuts in the Illinois Department of Corrections. He endorsed plan from the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees that includes eliminating prisoners' second serving of milk and buying condiments for meals in bulk. Watson said that plan would save nearly $20 million.

PROFIT PLUNGE; Emirates Group, parent company of the Middle East's biggest airline, said Thursday its annual profit dropped 61 percent as soaring fuel costs ate into increased sales.
EVERYBODY GETS HIT: The slide is a reminder that the Dubai company's base in the heart of the oil-rich Gulf region offers little protection from high fuel prices that are weighing on the balance sheets of carriers from the U.S. to the Far East.

The Enkay screen protector offers excellent protection to your phone screen as summarized below
The screen protector is made of heat treated glass resulting in a hardness measurement of up to 9H. This means it offers a very high level of impact resistance, keeping your screen from shattering or scratching.
In the event of severe damage, the glass will break into small pieces that are not sharp, making it safer than other glass products (Anti-Shatter Film)
The 2.5D tempered glass protection screen edge is shaped in a round profile in order to offer the best possible protection against chipping and cracking.
The glass is coated on the back with a strong silicon adhesive that makes installation easy and attaches the glass film firmly to the screen. This means the touch screen operation is the same as a screen without the protection.
Installing a screen protector can be a tricky affair. But this Enkay tempered glass protector has a high quality anti-static adsorption film, making the joint and split operation a conveniently simple one.
1. As this is a glass product, please note that the edges of the glass are the most vulnerable areas.
2. When removing for re-use, the adhesive properties might wear off to an extent where the screen protector will not adhere to the re-use device. For optimum performance, it is not recommended to re-use the glass protector once it's been applied.
3. Using excessive force who installing or removing the screen protector may damage the product.
1. Clean your phone screen with the micro fiber cloth
2. Remove the protective film on the glass
3. Put the glass on the screen and press down

One of the biggest mistakes I see both non-profit and for profit companies make when creating video is - to create one video, upload it to YouTube and wait.
They may go one step further and send a link in their newsletter with a note "Watch our new video!" If they are fancy, they even add a play button.
But then they get a few views and move on to the next project.
There is nothing wrong with posting a video to YouTube, sending it out in a newsletter and adding a play button. These are great things.
But people are sending their video out into a crowded internet world with nothing but a play button. People are too busy these days to click on something just because it is there or they are told to watch.
Your audience needs to be given a REASON to watch.
I see the process of giving people a reason as building a campaign. Yes, your video needs a campaign and most likely it is already part of a larger campaign. A campaign to raise money. A campaign to raise awareness of an issue. A campaign to gain support for your cause.
In order for your video (and message) to get the attention it deserves you need to launch it like a mini-campaign:
1. Dress it up
2. Speak highly of your video
3. Show it off everywhere you go
4. Reach outside of your tribe
What do I mean by this?
1. Dress it up: Create a compelling thumbnail.
When you upload a video to YouTube or Facebook these platforms pick a random place in your video as the image everybody sees. Somehow it always lands on the most unflattering expression. That's not pretty for anybody.
Go the extra mile. Take a screen capture and create a custom thumbnail. If you have a logo or want to add a title with your brand colors and font, even better. Make your image appealing so people want to see more.
2. Speak highly of your video: Create an audience focused title and intriguing description
A title "Watch this cool video!" may seem inviting, but when people are busy, they need a solid reason to spend 1, 2, 3 minutes watching your video. So when you title your video, make sure your title speaks to your audiences' interests.
- Naming your video "Capital Campaign Video" relates to the reason you created the video but not the reason someone in your audience wants to watch your video. Very few people head over to Facebook or their newsletter thinking, "I wonder who is going to ask me for money today to help fund their next big project."
- A better title for this example "Planning a better future for your children." Hmmm, that might get me to open if I have children and I see this in a newsletter from my child's school.
In addition to the title, don't miss out on the opportunity of sharing the reasons people will love your video. Add a description that shares what people will gain by watching your video. This applies to the YouTube description area as well as to text in your newsletter and on your website. Don't leave your video naked, just waiting for someone to click out of boredom. Shout out the reason they should watch.
3. Show it off everywhere you go: share your video on all the platforms you use
Yes, that means share your link on every platform you use. Most people only follow you closely on one platform. Don't make them hunt for your video.
Your share might just be a link to where it lives on your website or on YouTube. Remember, not everybody is following you on every platform. In fact, you may have a completely different subsection of your overall audience separated across different platforms. If you share your video in one place, most likely people visiting you on different platforms won't see that share. So make a coordinated effort to share everywhere.
4. Reach outside of your tribe
Share with your board members, partners, mom (I'm serious) and ask them to share with their people. Share with key media in your space and bloggers – they need content, too.
Share the video with key influencers who will share it with their tribes.
There is someone in your circle who will like your video and be happy to share it with their audience. Seek them out, send them a note and a link to your video.
You may also want to do some paid sharing. For example, boost your views by linking your video out on Facebook to people who are interested in your topic.
You create video for it to be seen, not to sit on the wall waiting for someone to pass by and maybe take a look. Take these small steps and get big results in terms of getting your message out to a bigger audience.

Diet instructions can simplify the outer limits of daily cholesterol
Diet instructions can simplify the outer limits of daily cholesterol ;
Now witness the return of the phenomenon of dietary cholesterol, which is one of the ingredients more observed and controlled in the kitchenette, which results from the belief that is directly linked to heart disease. When the federal government modernizes the instructions of what should be on our daily menu in order to maintain good health – if carried to the recommendation of the Advisory Committee on the Dietary Guidelines -. Cholesterol is no longer in the list of our biggest concerns
To clarify, this means that adults will no longer recommended to set the limit cholesterol 300 milligrams a day, as a result of risks and is not associated with an increased risk of heart disease.
The new guidelines, which are about to be revealed in the coming weeks, not only limits are deleted. However, this does not allow us to consume foods rich in cholesterol unlimited, but it does mean that you can enjoy whole eggs in a tortilla instead of eating only egg whites. Moderation, however are still encouraged.
The advice on this subject is treated as an essential nutrition guidelines in the United States. The federal government strives to update the recommendations of what constitutes a healthy, nutritious diet every 5 years.
The development of these guidelines is a formidable task, whose beginning is in committees of scientific experts convening in small subcommittees to discuss the latest research in a particular area. They provide recommendations to the committee of the DGAC. The Committee's task is to prepare a report on the best scientific information available, and any discovered changes in the most recent time and in the scientific area in particular.
is quite an unexpected change in the subject, but after reviewing new scientific work the Committee of the DGAC, the important for the US government advisory panel found no health reason to restrict or limit intake of 300 mg per day for most people.
The question is: what suggests to us on a daily basis? It is not a thing yet. On the one hand, scientific panels found that the average American seems to be consuming only about 160-250 mg per day anyway, on the basis of perception of information.
However, before making any changes in your diet, it is highly recommended to visit consult your doctor. While the total data suggests that there is no need to worry too much cholesterol, some people experience health benefits of monitoring and limit their daily intake.
However, there will be a comment period of 45 days after the final guidelines are released DGAC, for anyone in the country that "weigh". Subsequently, the federal government will take the final report, and determine the course for 2015 is expected to report to be communicated in the second half of the year.

"Fiberboard is a type of engineered wood product that is made out of wood fibers. Types of fiberboard (in order of increasing density) include particle board, medium-density fiberboard, and hardboard. Fiberboard is sometimes used as a synonym for particle board, but particle board usually refers to low-density fiberboard. Plywood is not a type of fiberboard, as it is made of thin sheets of wood, not wood fibers or particles. Fiberboard, particularly medium-density fiberboard (MDF), is heavily used in the furniture industry. For pieces that will be visible, a veneer of wood is often glued onto fiberboard to give it the appearance of conventional wood.
Fiberboard is also used in the auto industry to create free-form shapes such as dashboards, rear parcel shelves, and inner door shells. These pieces are usually covered with a skin, foil, or fabric such as cloth, suede, leather, or polyvinyl chloride.
Urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins are dominantly used in the medium density fiberboard (MDF) industry because of their low cost and fast curing characteristics. However, pressures on the use of UF resins are mounting steadily due to potential problems associated with formaldehyde emission. On the other hand, phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resins are more durable and do not emit formaldehyde after cure. But the Industry has traditionally shied away from using PF resins due primarily to their higher cost and much slower curing rate than UF resins. However, the press times PF-bonded fiberboard can be substantially reduced by manipulating the fiber mat temperatures, molecular weight distribution of PE resins and pressing parameters. As a result, the press times for PF-bonded fiberboard can be made comparable to those for UF-bonded fiberboard. Also, the resin content required for PF-bonded fiberboard is less than 5% to achieve a good board quickly. This is considerably lower than that required for UF-bonded fiberboard.
Certain types of fiberboard can be considered "green" building products. Consisting of bio-based, secondary raw materials (wood chip or sugarcane fibers) recovered from within 100 miles (160 km) of manufacturing facilities, the binding agent used in this type of fiberboard is an all-natural product, consisting of vegetable starch containing no added formaldehydes.
Fiberboard, classified by ASTM C208, Standard Specification for Cellulosic Fiber Insulating Board,[1] has many benefits and is used in residential and commercial construction. "

I hope that the City of Fremantle beancounters and Councillors did read the article on the front page of the POST community newspaper this weekend.
The article claims that local councils can save a lot of money by shopping for insurance, rather than simply using the Local Government Insurance Scheme-LGIS.
Staff from the City of Nedlands estimate they have saved $ 266,000 in premiums in four years while the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Councils saved $ 400.000 off its yearly LGIS bill after getting cheaper quotes from other insurances.
Cambridge Mayor Keri Shannon told the POST that LGIS member councils could save about 30% off their premiums by leaving the LGIS.
Fremantle is not exactly swimming in money, so if the City could save hundreds of thousands of dollars that would be great.

Comments Off on CAN FREMANTLE CITY SAVE ON INSURANCES?
The Sunday Times reports today that seven out of the twenty-eight metropolitan mayors are 'moonlighting' and have other jobs.
Local government is not intended to be a full-time job for Mayors and Councillors but the workload is significant as I know from observing the huge number of hours Mayor Brad Pettitt and most Councillors spend on looking after Fremantle.
For the Freo Mayor it is a full-time job with additional local government work at the Heritage Council for which he annually receives $ 9,000 in addition to the Mayor's payment of around $ 140,000. Correct me if I am wrong as I can't find the exact amount.
But the City of Swan Mayor does only two days full time at council there and received nearly $ 140,000 per year, while Jim O'Neill, the Mayor of East Fremantle gets $ 43,000 for 25 hours a week and works another 45 hours per week as deputy-principal of the Willeton Senior High School.
I believe elected members should get properly paid as many of them spend the equivalent of full-time job hours on serving the community.

After my previous post about the Atwell Arcade development and previous posts about my objections to the Notre Dame University proposal for the West End, and my reservations about the height of the Quest Hotel, and the general lack of creativity of new buildings in Fremantle's CBD, it is interesting to read in the West Australian today the opinion of heritage architect Philip Griffiths, who spoke at a Future Bayswater forum.
Griffiths told the audience that respecting heritage and promoting local development are not mutually exclusive, and mentioned the City of Fremantle as a local government that got a lot smarter about preserving heritage while encouraging well-designed density. I believe the well-design part of that sentence is controversial as Freo is mainly getting mediocrity in design.
Heritage is a reason to be careful about how we develop because we don't want to create a sterile town, but it is not a reason not to do anything, the architect said. That should be a very important consideration for the City of Fremantle because so far we are getting boring new buildings!
According to the Property Council of WA there is strong support for medium and higher-density apartments near public transport hubs and in the inner city.
I personally have no issue with higher-density in appropriate locations around Fremantle and in the east CBD but somehow we need to give more power to the Design Advisory Panel, and planning rules need to address the visual impact of new buildings better, so that we can get very good and outstanding buildings, not the bland and boring ones that are being built and proposed now.
Creating a new modern part in inner city Fremantle is in my opinion desirable as it means many more people will live in the CBD and that will encourage new traders, bars, etc to open up shop and make Freo more vibrant, but we need to get great architecture!

Comments Off on HERITAGE AND DENSITY NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE
There is quite a bit going on within the City of Fremantle administration with new jobs advertised weekly and new people taking up important positions, with new CEO Phil StJohn taking up his role officially in July this years
At Council meeting last night I noticed for the first time Graham Tattersall, the new Director of Infrastructure and Project Delivery, while Marisa Spaziani who was the Director of Community Development is now heading the new People and Culture Department. Her old job has been advertised, so someone new will take over there soon.
I have no idea what that new department will be doing as Pete Stone only recently became the new director of the Department of Culture&The Arts, so it looks as if there is a duplication of services there as we have two departments responsible for culture. And keep in mind that directors at the City of Fremantle receive a payment around $ 240,000 per annum, so adding new directors is costing a lot of ratepayers' money!
The Festivals Coordinator position, long held by Alex Marshall, also has been advertised. I don't know if Marshall has been promoted or left Freo City, with all the changes occurring in his field and the Fremantle Festival moving to a fully curated festival.
At Council the committees now have new and more elaborate names but the Special Projects Committee does no longer have their meetings in public and that is a shame. One would think that special projects of new innovative ideas and long-term city planning are especially of interest to the community and the COF should embrace community participation and ideas.
It would also be nice if the City put out media releases about personnel changes at top-level as the public should know who get's these extremely well-paid jobs and what they did before they came to Freo.
It would also be good to be informed who has been appointed as the external project manager for the Fremantle Oval project.

Two interesting articles about city development in the West Australian property section drew my attention this morning.
The first one "Giving residents first priority" is something I have been calling for for many years, as I believe proper community consultation about new development at the earliest possible stage will take a lot of negativity out of the process, and does not force community groups to be reactive when it is often too late, and subsequently being branded as nay-sayers.
The West reports that RobertsDay's studio leader Duane Cole said "Developers tapping into a community's values and culture should start with genuine collaboration to build trust."
Duane Cole told the West "…residents needed to be first in the process, not an afterthought." and I could not agree more with that sentiment.
I do realise that Councils and developers might be reluctant to take this on as often the NIMBY attitude makes collaboration with the community difficult and frustrating, but building resentment by ignoring the wishes of the community is definitely not the way to go.
The second article is by Dr. Anthony Duckworth-Smith of the Australian Urban Design Research Centre in Perth who writes that AUDR has been working with the City of Fremantle to explore ways of finding the right balance for infill.
Duckworth Smith writes in the West that if Fremantle wants to keep its diverse social mix it should be looking at building smaller homes in suburban areas, because in the past two decades the vast majority of new homes in Fremante were four or more bedrooms, although households have become smaller and more diverse.
He warns however that the suitability for small houses is limited and does not cater for those who want to own. a house.
Modified local planning and design guide lines that respect the character of suburban areas could be developed to achieve urban infill the community accepts.
The City of Fremantle is willing to lead to find solutions to fill the gap between single residential and high density apartment buildings, Duckworth-Smith writes.
I believe that good infill in suitable targeted areas is the way forward, not just random infill and higher density because a property becomes available for development. That requires long-term planning and a vision for the 'burbs'.
It has become quite clear that especially in older character suburbs many residents are against substantial change, infill, high density and medium and high rise buildings. That does not make the task for local and state government any easier. Some people believe the urban sprawl is inevitable to continue the great Australian dream of owning a large house with front and back garden, even when we have limited water supplies and urban sprawl is very expensive because it requires ever expanding roads, rail, power, water and gas to suburbs many tens of kilometres away from the CBD. This of course also causes traffic nightmares during peak hours.
Like with most things in life there are no easy solutions that will please and satisfy everyone, but I believe tough decisions have to be made now because future generations will suffer from the lack of foresight and leadership of our state and local governments.

Comments Off on COMMUNITY A PRIORITY FOR NEW CITY DEVELOPMENT
WA Today reports that councils in WA have problems getting a quorum at Council and committee meetings because of the new gift disclosure rules by the State Government.
I believe this is very important for Fremantle as Councillors will be asked to consider events applications, sponsorships, reduction of fees, etc. and their attendance of previous events might jeopardise their ability to perform the duty and vote on these matters.
As I wrote in a previous post I believe Fremantle Council should stop accepting all complimentary tickets and pay for them instead, so that a conflict of interest no longer applies.
If the Mayor or other members open or speak at an event that should not be considered free entry and no disclosure should have to be made.
The updated gift register of the City of Fremantle shows the tickets accepted by Councillors were not expensive gifts, so why can't COF budget for a few thousand dollars a year to accommodate members fulfilling their duty and going to events to monitor what is going on.
It is not good local government to end up with committees and ordinary council not having a quorum, so the City needs to be proactive to prevent this from happening.

The West Australian today compares, in an 'exclusive', council rates in the Perth metro area, and the good news is that Fremantle is only at number 13 of the 29 councils.
The average residential rates in 2015-2016 in Fremantle were $ 1,647.78 and in East Fremantle, that is number 10 on the list $ 1,810.65.
Melville is 17th with $ 1,599.16 and Cockburn comes in as 25th with just $ 1,460.07.
As West reporter Kate Emery rightly points out rates are affected by house prices and it is difficult to compare council rates because councils use different ways of calculating rates.
Roel Loopers
The WA State Government has a new My Council website where we can compare and see how our councils are doing. Nice to see the City of Fremantle page has one of my photos of Bathers Beach on it.
So I now know that the Fremantle area is 19 square kilometres small, that we have a population of 30,883 and 19,777 electors.
Fremantle's revenue is $ 71,426,672 and its operating expenditure $ 71,070,614.
The total value of assets of the City of Fremantle is $ 486,608,885.
Rates are always a discussion point so I compared rates in the area and the recent rate increases were:
Fremantle 6%, Cockburn 11%, Mosman Park 5%, Cottesloe 5%, East Fremantle 6%, Melville 40%(is that a typo?), Mandurah 7%, Rockingham 10%.
The website is: mycouncil.wa.gov.au

I am surprised and dismayed that the City of Fremantle and Town of East Fremantle still have not officially joined many other councils who have called for the abolition of the State's Development Assessment Panels-DAP- system, that has received a lot of criticism from communities and councils because it is pro-developers and overrules local council decisions by rubber stamping development applications.
Mosman Park, Vincent, Stirling, Subiaco, South Perth, Nedlands, Cambridge have all joined forces against the DAP but the Fremantle and East Fremantle councils remain silent on this very important issue. Why?
Why is this not on this Wednesday's agenda for Full Council in Fremantle? Why has this not been debated on council committees and why is Fremantle Mayor Brad Pettitt, who loves mainstream media attention, not all over this?
The DAPs have been eroding local democracy and the State is giving more and more power to unelected bureaucrats. That is not acceptable and we need to strongly protest against it here in Fremantle, as they do in other councils.
If the DAP or SAT would make a ruling that would severely and negatively affect Fremantle's heritage character it might be too late to protest. They allowed a 16 storey building on the former Subiaco Markets site against the ruling of Subi Council who only wanted to approve a maximum of eight storeys there. That is not on!
There is also not a word from the State opposition and Labor leader Mark McGowan on this and Freo MLA Simone McGurk also has not told us yet that they would abandon the DAP for a better and more democratic system. Where are you Simone?!
If you are worried about the negative impact DAPs have contact your Fremantle and East Fremantle Councillors and tell them to pull their fingers out and step up and join other councils against the DAP! Do it now before it is too late!!! Or email: email@example.com to get an email to all Councillors.
Roel Loopers
Communities, councils and planning experts are getting more and more vocal against inappropriate infill, higher density, and the role the State's Development Assessment Panels and State Administrative Tribunal play in it.
Already four local councils, including the big City of Vincent, have expressed their dismay about DAPs and want the state government to scrap the process or make it more democratic, because it has a pro-developers bias. The two Councillors on the panels are outnumbered by three public servants, and while developers have the right to challenge the DAP decisions, local councils have not. That is undemocratic.
The Mayor Brad Pettitt Facebook page has a discussion going on about infill, and highly-respected city planner and architect Dr Linley Lutton will argue on Wednesday at UWA that inappropriate infill is destroying communities.
It is disappointing that the WA Labor party has remained silent on this subject, although I believe it would win them a substantial number of votes if they abandoned the Direction 2031 Liberal party infill targets for more density and the disliked DAPs.
In my personal opinion there is nothing wrong with higher density and higher buildings in the right locations, but the push to have it all happening close to railway stations and public transport corridors is a threat to the lifestyle and unique character of older suburbs such as Fremantle, Subiaco, etc.
It is outrageous that the State agencies overruled Subiaco Council and approved a 16-storey-building on the former market site at Rokeby Road, when council only wants buildings up to eight storeys. Imagine the DAP would have allowed the Atwell Arcade building in Freo to be twice as high and eight storeys instead of four!
The problem of setting indiscriminate infill targets for all local councils is that high density building are popping up in the wrong locations, where they do a lot of damage to the amenity and streetscape and severely and negatively impact on the community. That needs to change!
It is wrong for older suburbs that infill needs to be within walking distance from a train station, when on the outskirts of the CBD there is ample opportunity for higher apartment buildings, and bus routes could be adapted to accommodate more residents in those areas.
I welcome the very substantial development along Fremantle's Queen Victoria and Beach street and other important new buildings in the CBD, but there is a whole lot more to come with the development of the Woolstores shopping centre site to a possible ten-storey-high mixed use, rumours about the Marilyn New-owned woolstores site at Clancys also talk about substantial height, and the corner of Henry and High street is also on the cards to be developed in the near future, together with the former Workers Club site opposite it.
There is no doubt for me that Fremantle needed development and to modernise and attract more residents to the CBD. It is also essential we build more tourist accommodation in town and I hope that will stop the mad rush of people signing up their homes with Air B&B because that is negatively impacting on neighbours.
It is very good that there is a serious social and mainstream media debate going on about all this, and that some councils are now putting their foot down and say enough is enough, because DAP and SAT are undermining local council democracy, like dictators do with human rights, and that needs to end!

Anthony Badger, in The New Deal: The Depression Years, 1933-1940, examines specific aspects of New Deal activity, including industry, organized labor, agriculture, welfare, and politics. He argues that the New Deal did not represent a sharp break with the past and instead functioned merely as a 'holding operation' for American society. Badger posits that more dramatic changes came for ordinary Americans with World War II, not the New Deal.
One of the strengths of Badger's writing style is his clarity in organizing each chapter. Chapters are broken down into sub-sections, and Badger uses the final sub-section to really push his argument and demonstrate how more radical change came with World War II. Within the finance and industry sectors, Roosevelt closed the banks to stabilize the markets, and Congress passed the National Industrial Recovery Act (1935), which was declared unconstitutional 1935. The NRA was meant to eliminate unfair competitive practices in industries, establish wage and hours standards, and guarantee collective bargaining rights for workers, but as it was primarily dominated by the businessmen it was supposed to regulate, the NRA failed to yield any significant economic benefits. World War II, not the New Deal, demonstrated the potential of deficit spending for stimulating economic growth. Taxation and anti-trust policies did not redistribute wealth or income, and did not bring about any changes to the infrastructure of American industry. There was an increase in labor unrest, particularly in 1934, when workers protested wage cuts, unemployment, and dangerous working conditions. The Wagner Act, passed in 1935, established the National Labor Relations Board in an effort to address workers' concerns. Badger finds that the labor movement emerged from the New Deal and reached its pinnacle of strength during World War II. The federal government tested out many options for agricultural relief and reform, including planned scarcity, modernizing rural America, and eliminating rural poverty. New Deal agricultural policies were not particularly effective, as benefits went to states that had lost farm income dramatically after the crash, not to states that were permanently poor, and the farmers themselves were resistant to change. In terms of welfare, Congress created the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, the Civil Works Administration, the Works Progress Administration, and the Social Security Act. As Linda Gordon so aptly demonstrates in Pitied But Not Entitled, these programs preferred to hire white male workers, and did not hire as many women or people of color. Similar to the agricultural policies, much of the relief money was given to the states to distribute as they saw fit. The Depression, and the federal response to it, precipitated a realignment of political parties. Roosevelt appealed to voters in urban locales, low-income voters, recent immigrants, city machine politicians, blue-collar workers, African Americans, and women. Additionally, Roosevelt attempted to wrest some control away from Congress by increasing the number of Supreme Court justices. Ultimately, Badger is effective at breaking down the process of creating and administering policy at the federal and local levels, and clearly demonstrates the constraints and challenges inherent in expanding governmental power.
Linda Gordon examines the transformation of the meaning of welfare between 1890 and 1935 in Pitied But Not Entitled: Single Mothers and the History of Welfare, 1890-1935. Gordon argues that single motherhood is not a recent invention conceptually, and that poverty has typically been feminized. Single motherhood has been the central concern of those involved in creating welfare since the 1880s, and historically aid to single mothers has been a means through which they are kept from becoming "too comfortable" on their own.
The term "single mother" was applied to widows, married women with absent husbands, and unmarried single mothers. Within the first two decades of the twentieth century, reformers characterized single motherhood has a major social problem. During the time frame of Gordon's study, the focus of mothers' aid campaigns shifted from the mother to the child. A network of educated, New England or Mid-Atlantic-based, white women campaigned for welfare for single mothers. Many of these women rejected marriage in favor of community, but they believed that single mothers receiving welfare should adhere to traditional gender roles. The Children's Bureau was established in 1912, and the Women's Bureau was established in 1918. The Children's Bureau, not the Women's Bureau, became the main enclave of the welfare reform community. Black women welfare reformers established schools, nurseries, care facilities for the elderly, medical clinics, and community centers. In the 1890s, black women's welfare activity took three primary forms: mutual benefit societies, church groups, and women's clubs, all of which were aimed at uplifting members of their community. Unlike the white reformers, black reformers did not consider reform careers as an alternative to marriage, and they understood that it was sometimes necessary for women to work outside the home. Married men, on the other hand, formed the backbone of reformers who worked towards social insurance, which was not directed exclusively toward the poor but toward wage-earners. Social insurance proponents wanted to create a well-regulated economy and advocated for a compensation plan that would give employers financial motives to improve safety conditions in their plants. The Great Depression affected single mothers and mothers' aid programs negatively. Gender and family norms structured what little relief women did get–for example, relief checks were written out to the heads of households, but that money might not filter down to mothers or their children. New Deal policies gave more jobs to men than to women and people of color, and the work women and people of color did get were, usually, stereotyped, tedious, and low-wage jobs. Gordon outlines the various movements that were active during the New Deal in advocating for welfare, including labor, unemployed councils, professional social work organizations, "welfare populisms," the Socialist Party, the Communist Party, and informal political voices. Roosevelt and Congress created Aid for Dependent Children (ADC) as part of the Social Security Act, but the Children's Bureau unwillingly had no control over its implementation. The Social Security Act helped to create and solidify superior (deserving) and inferior (undeserving) "tracks" within the welfare system. Additionally, the New Deal welfare system also created two arenas of social citizenship: federal and local. White men were usually covered by federal citizenship, while women and people of color were covered by local citizenship.
Discussion questions
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of Badger's and Gordon's approaches to studying the Great Depression and the New Deal?
- How does Gordon incorporate gender and race into her argument?

He was Fred Astaire, all right. Mr. Happy Feet, outside the pocket again, his white shoes tapping, his legs jigging a full-on jitter-bug on the Anaheim Stadium grass.
Finally, Jim Everett was hit head-on, clanging helmets with the man in pursuit.
And then Everett gave Mike Pagel a double-barreled head slap and the two Ram quarterbacks let out a banshee yell, rejoicing in the first touchdown pass to be thrown by a Ram quarterback in 1993.
It happened Sunday.
With 13:41 left in the second quarter.
On a tight-end screen to Troy Drayton, who stood behind a great wall of blue and gold, took the ball and followed his thousand-pound escort service down the left sideline, 22 yards, for a 7-0 lead over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"I was so happy," Everett said, "I wanted to cry."
Was this the second game of a still-toddling season, or the Super Bowl? Everett clenched both fists and punched the air. He slam-danced with Pagel, his faithful backup. He thrust both arms overhead, a la Rocky, and bounded to the sideline, where he looked up at the press box and began to point, quite defiantly, as if to say, "Chew on that, media jackals."

State HTCs
Over 30 states have established state historic tax credits to provide additional financial incentives for the rehabilitation of historic properties. Most of the state programs are based on the federal historic rehabilitation tax credit program, although application processes, award amounts, and award procedures vary by state.
State historic tax credits can be used in conjunction with the federal credits for income-producing properties. Many state programs also offer historic tax credits for rehabilitation of owner-occupied residential properties.
MHA has a strategic relationship with Tax Incentive Finance (TIF), one of the country's leading state historic tax credit syndicators, allowing our combined team to provide service throughout the entire development process.
MHA and TIF have a strong presence in state tax credit markets throughout the country especially in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, North Carolina, Louisiana and Texas.
Below is a list of the states offering historic tax credit programs. Contact us to learn more about programs in your state.

Breaking AndyWallby Leo (Laewoo) Kang
'Breaking AndyWall' is an interactive art installation in which participants can destroy various art pieces that are socially considered as 'great art'. As participants enter the site, they find Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe projected on a big painting canvas. Several wooden hammers are on the floor, and by smashing the canvas with the hammer, participants can gradually break down the art piece. When the image eventually becomes completely shattered into pixels, another piece of art will show up on the canvas. Through the same interaction, participants can break down diverse art pieces of those who are usually recognized as 'famous artists' in our society, including Roy Lichtenstein, Mark Rothko, and Takashi Murakami. This project is comprised of a white canvas, wooden hammers, a computer, a beam projector, and an electronic sensor that can measure the level of vibration on the canvas. More importantly, participants are the core factor of this work. Participants in this project are not only the destroyers who tear down the wall between art and non-art, but also the artists who create their own aesthetic glitch images. By creating a space in which intricate artwork can be interpreted through a low-level human behavior, I would like to let go of complicated theories and ideas, and explore a way to approach people in a more casual and everyday way.

The log clean can be the deciding factor as to whether you get the lift up or not, a lot of the time you see people clean the log and think to yourself oh my god they are going to DIE!
Over the years we have seen a vast array of log cleans, some good some not so good. In the early years of WSM they used a flick of the hips with a big bicep curl to get it to the chest nowadays it has become an art to perfect the log clean using minimal effort
When watching other athletes for tips pick the guys who know what they are doing and have a respectable log, there is no point in taking advise from some on who looks like they have gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson can't stand up wobbling all over the show.
I use two forms of clean when training client. One is a squat clean the other is a power clean, I know you will get a load of keyboard warriors going on that you can't do a power clean on a log but it is what I refer to the movement as.
I will break down each part of both cleans and explain what I do.
Squat Clean
I will always favour the squat clean over the power clean for a heavy log or 1RM attempt, the reason why is you be more energy efficient with a squat clean to get the log to the chest.
To start I will tilt the handles forward on a log allowing me to be closer when I start my pick up, as I start to pick up I make sure I stand all the way up into a deadlift finish position you see far too many people scoop the log onto their lap before they stood up this puts the muscles under a lot of tension and not allowing them to fully lengthen before preforming the squat.
When squatting down with the log I make sure I pull it in close to my body not allowing for too much movement, when I squat down I don't like to spend too much time in the bottom position as I believe this can make the clean harder.
When squatting down with the log you should think of your muscles like an elastic band as you squat down quick and power up it's like when you stretch an elastic band and let it go its pings back quick!
This will allow you to come up quicker, making sure you are still keeping the log tight and close to you pop up through your toes driving your heels down and pushing you elbows forward and up to the celling as much as you physically can and stabilizing the log on your chest.
A few of us that are larger around the abdominal can pull the log on top of our belly as we squat down making life 10 times easier when we have the whole body behind the log.
Think of the movement like this
Breaking them down like this will help you practise the movement in training and get you to think about each part more.
Strive to perfect each one of these movements one by one until you can get the clean to flow as easy as Big Z does.
Here is an example of the each movement put into a complex
Power Clean
The Power clean is a movement I will warm up with as it is also indirect hamstring and lower back work, power cleaning the log will benefit you in competitions where you have clean and press for reps…. when you get the feeling your dying after it because your body can't understand why you would want to do more than 5 reps.
This movement will take a little more time to perfect as it is not so easy to break down as the squat clean is, I will post a link at the end of this so you can see the video too.
The start position is the same with this as the squat clean so start with the handles tilted forward to keep the log close this time as you come up you want to move in one motion to the chest and to do the you need to get your hips forward and triple extend through your ankles, knees and hips.
This will give you the momentum you need to roll the log up to your chest, with this movement it is something that you need to start light and perfect but once you have it can give you a few seconds on a head to head for reps
Here is the link to the Power Clean & Push Press
When the clean becomes as easy as a hot knife through butter it will automatically help improve you max, if you use less energy in the clean it means you have more energy to press its science…. Well maybe not exact science.

Advent Reflection: Week 2, Day 3
Reflect: Catholic social teaching calls us to be socially responsible citizens. As consumers, we can support the fair trade market of goods; as workers, we are entitled to decent wages and safe working conditions. Contemplate this picture of women working, reflecting on how their work affects people worldwide. Our own lives can be very busy, but in this Advent season, may our lives be busy with acts of charity, prayers of hope and works of love.
Pray: God, we thank you for the many gifts that each of us possess. May those of us that have plenty, effortlessly and lovingly share with those who have less. Amen.
Act: This holiday season, consider gifts that honor another person by supporting organizations that advocate for humanitarian or fair trade causes.

Barbara Brickner videos
Over the years, many top plus-size models have lectured publicly about body image, usually in educational settings and at size-acceptance venues.
Emme originated the tradition, and each year, during Eating Disorders Awareness Week, she still gives public presentations on size-related topics. Kate Dillon followed in her footsteps, and even spoke at Harvard University on one occasion. Natalie Laughlin and Gabrielle Taber also adopted the practice, and most recently--as noted on this forum--Crystal Renn has made herself available for body-image seminars.
Wonderful as these efforts have been, the models' appearances were ephemeral, one-time-only events. None of their speeches were ever transcribed for the general public, so the only direct beneficiaries were the limited number of people who attended the talks themselves.
Until now.
This past May, during "Respect Your Body Week" at Seattle Pacific University, Barbara Brickner delivered a lecture about positive body image, and subsequently participated in a panel discussion on the topic. In a moment of singular inspiration, however, someone must have advised the model's team how wonderful it would be if Mrs. Brickner's discussions could be captured on video. Now, lo and behold, two .flv clips of Barbara's SPU appearances have been posted on the model's Web site (at the links provided below), and are available for public viewing.
The videos run 5'45 and 4'30, respectively. The first comprises Mrs. Brickner's own talk, and the second excerpts her comments from the panel discussion.
I was so ticked off that I would show him that if he wanted "large," I would give him "large." I promptly went to McDonald's, got a super-size fries . . . a chocolate shake, and . . .
(The sound that you just heard was a collective sigh of adoration from every single Barbara Brickner fan in the world.)
Barbara also tells of her resistence to industry pressures to diminish her size (and therefore, her beauty). As she explains,
I have to stay true to who I am, or I will go nuts. I have had German clients call my agency and say, "You know, Barbara, next shoot, she needs to be a size 12." (I'm typically between a 14 and 16.) "And she needs to be a size 12." And then, the next client calls up and says, "I really need Barbara to be a full 16." I cannot do that. I cannot do that to my body. I have to be who I am, where I'm comfortable, and that's just the way it is.
One suspects that Barbara's greatest campaigns, the ones that have generated the most ardent enthusiasm, and electrified the public, were shot while she was at the higher end of "between a 14 and 16." And fans will eagerly second whichever brilliant client asked her to become a "full 16." But Mrs. Brickner's determination not to diminish her perfect Classical proportions has earned her the undying loyalty of aficionados of timeless beauty the world over, and made her the most popular plus-size model of all time.
Barbara expresses no false modesty about the significance of her craft, and about her own particular importance to the aesthetic restoration. She enthuses that
Every single job that I have been on has been a celebration of who I am, as a woman.
Truer words were never spoken. There is no such thing as an "ordinary" Barbara Brickner shoot. Her every campaign has been unique and original, and has contributed significantly to society's reawakening appreciation of Classical beauty.
Mrs. Brickner wisely advocates taking ownership of one's own life choices, and realizing our common potential to influence the people around us:
I'm not going to take responsibility for the whole industry. I cannot do that, personally. . . I'm raising a daughter in this world, in this society, but I do, as a mom, have to take responsibility for helping her shape her personal ideals. . . . What I'm really saying is that we do have to take personal responsibility for ourselves and our families.
As Barbara explains, society may indoctrinate girls into enduring diet-starvation and exercise-torture, but they each have the power to reject this brainwashing. Moreover, mothers have a sacred duty to protect their daughters from this (or any) harmful ideology, and to bring them up with an alternative set of values, entirely different from those of the mass media.
In the most reflective segment of the two clips, Mrs. Brickner quotes Psalm 139:13:
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
and offers a compelling interpretation of the passage:
What I love about this psalm is that we were created in God's image. We are exactly the way that He wanted us to be. So when I think about that in my life, had I starved myself to get down to a size six or eight . . . I may not have had the life experiences that I've had. I may not have had the opportunities to travel around the world, to see the things that I've seen, to make a positive, healthy difference in our society.
Barbara expresses, in metaphysical terms, one of the central tenets of size celebration: that being full-figured is a natural feminine state, and that attempts to fight one's curvaceous tendencies confound the will of nature (or, if one prefers, of God). No wonder efforts to diminish the body are such a painful ordeal for women, while figure-enhancement is, by contrast, an enjoyable experience. The body seeks to reach its own most comfortable size, a predisposition which--depending on one's own philosophy--one can attribute to genetics, or to the divine will.
And speaking of the visual presentation, we would be remiss not to praise Mrs. Brickner's styling, which was obviously carefully considered. The denim was undoubtedly chosen to help students relate to Barbara, while the jacket adds a touch of professionalism that is appropriate in the educational context. The ultra-feminine, body-conscious top underneath, however, reveals Barbara as a living goddess. It emphatically presents her as "the model," and its organic pattern and feminine cut, with a glimpse of decolletage, identifies her as a personification of timeless beauty. In the video, fans will also notice that she wears two decorative necklaces--one around the neck, another somewhat longer. And the crowning touch, the hairstyle, is one of the most gorgeous that she has ever worn, a romantic arrangement of cascading tresses that augments her beauty immeasurably.
If the public regularly viewed images of gorgeous plus-size models such as this, Classical ideals of femininity would quickly be restored.

Re: Barbara Brickner videos
I think it's incredibly admirable of Barbara to reject industry pressure to starve herself into a faux-plus size. This is a major problem in the industry, and one that just won't go away - the efforts to neutralize the subversive effects of full-figured models by diminishing their size.
Barbara's principled stance in this respect makes her talks so much more meaningful. She doesn't just pay lip service to body love - she actually lives it. If more models had the courage of their convictions, the way Barbara does, and if the smaller plus-size models became more genuinely curvaceous, the industry would be far more effective at changing society's ideals of beauty.
I found her interpretation of the Biblical passage quite heartfelt. And I'm glad that she added a feminine touch to her wardrobe and hairstyle. Even students who might have been resistant to her words alone must have been persuaded to accept her message by her sheer physical beauty.
On that note, there are two new images at Nordstrom worth sharing. The first shows Barbara modelling an empire dress. I love the cut around the bust, which is both sexy and elegant, especially with that ornamental detail. I'm not as fond of the lower area, which seems a little too flat, and surely could have been made more romantic. The expressions is pure Barbara magic.
This "Shirred Two Layer Dress" is a little more decorative, and the description plays up the feminine touches: "Ruched, beaded bodice plunges to a V-neck before softly cascading to a fluttery hem". Nordstrom helpfully offers a reverse view (which should be mandatory for every dress image):
It's also worth viewing a little smaller, to see the gorgeous sihouette that it makes on the model's figure. Those romantic details are so curve-friendly.

Re: Barbara Brickner videos
This was WONDERFUL to see. Barbara has a lot of insight into both the straight-size and plus-size industries. What I am so disappointed to hear is that even in plus-size modeling, she is asked to change her size to suit the whim of the employer, to whittle herself down to a 12. Will somebody please explain to me why an employer (presumably a PLUS-SIZE company!) would not, instead, simply procure an outfit in Barbara's size? Doesn't that seem like a win-win for everybody? Bodies are not supposed to be diminished to fulfill business needs. This industry is shameful in so many ways. An entire paradigm shift is needed.
I am so glad Barbara stands firm. Her daughter, and countless others (including my precious 8 year old), will benefit!
