Nature's Ballerina
This wild plum tree reminds me of a ballerina in her beautiful tulle skirt making her debut on the Spring stage. There is a grace and beauty in these trees reminding us that Spring has arrived and showing off their blossoms against a few green buds just opening on the other trees.
This is an example of a "do-over". I had an unsuccessful painting, sanded it down and toned the old painting with the "soup" from the bottom of my paint thinner container, always a neutral grey, sometimes warmer, sometimes cooler. This tone was slightly warm. If you haven't tried doing this, it is a free tone from what you would wipeout and throw away.

Sunrise Peeking Through
Early in the morning driving to a small the town nearby I held my camera to the window and just clicked away. Bone chilling cold, crisp clean air . The delight in seeing this sliver of sunrise was just calling to be captured in paint. It is a quiet moody piece, very contemplative when you spend a few moments looking at it.

Wild Grapes
During my summer at Mt. Carmel I have the delight of watching a fence full of wild grapes change from green to blue/purple. the most fun is getting to pick them and make wild grape jelly which is unequaled in taste.
Drying Out
Drying Out 5 x 7 oil on panelDrying Out, every day after swimming at Mt. Carmel, wet towels and suits are hung out to dry, they make a colorful display moving in the breeze. It is a reminder of the squeals and giggles of the children jumping and playing in the lake who have probably worked up an appetite and are wolfing down cookies and chips.

Air Layering
Can Air layering be done on stone fruit, or nut trees? Is there risk of causing disease or rotting challenges with air layering technique? My assumption is that it is best done before spring, and buds start to swell? Thanks in advance. Great site BTW - I will share it on social media. Brian.
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
This can be done with relative ease. Just make sure that everything that you use is sterile, and you will have no problem. Peroxide will come in handy, as will aloe juice if you have it. It makes for a good rooting hormone.

What's what?
Submitted by Shatner'sBassoon on Fri, 11/06/2015 - 19:48
This might work : possible path to HIV cure
"rolled my ankle while taking evasive action to avoid an out of control fat kid at an over-patronised indoor trampoline centre. "
That's both the funniest and most horrendous thing I've ever heard.
That's why I always try to make sure that I'm the fat kid in any situation.
In voice of soup nazi :
No tubes for you !!!!
Blowin, I spoke too soon!
"The narrative that the class war was over..."
Who was writing it? And who was swallowing it?
"They ditched their fundamental ideology..."
Which is? I'd like your take.
"They represented SOMEONE and they abandoned them. The unions knew what was going on , therefore the labor party knew what was going on . They chose to ignore the sparks that were precedeeding the wildfire that were being ignited in the next IR battle ground because there wasn't votes in it and that's how we've found ourselves in the position we're in : Dropping standards of living , ever worsening wages/ conditions, gig economy, permanent casual eating at social fabric , exploited, underpaid and oppressed labour force ."
Where do you start to unpack that??
Maybe a time-frame would help. Can you supply one? Where does the later work-choices backlash for example fit in? How does it fit into your narrative? Please explain?
"Yes , a lot of it had to to with political expediency."
Now you're poking towards something. Think about our historical cultural and economic partners, the UK and US. Post-Thatcher and post-Reagan. And the wrong-way 'third way' (which the 'success' of the Hawke/Keating years helped to foment in the US and UK...but which there was no excuse for here in Australia during the Howard reign). Blair and Clinton.
Rudd, the 'Sunrise Kid' and 'fiscal conservative'?? Good riddance. Messy but necessary.
Now, things are afoot in the US and the UK. Sanders and Corbyn. Trump and Brexit are the End of Days (to borrow an expression)...as directed by Michael Bay... a side-shit-show.
Oz? Stay tuned?
100+ pages and now 5000+ comments...on all things political, public and personal, on a surfing web-site!
There's an appetite out there for sure.
Maybe Leary - Timothy, not Paul...well, Paul too! - was onto something:
"Surfers are the 'throw-aheads' of mankind, not the dregs; they aren't the black sheep of humanity, but the futurists and they are leading the way to where man ultimately wants to be. The act of the ride is the epitome of 'be here now', and the tube ride is the most acute form of that. Which is: your future is right ahead of you, the past is exploding behind you, your wake is disappearing, your footprints are washed from the sand. It's a non-productive, non-depletive act that's done purely for the value of the dance itself. And that is the destiny of man."
Hmmm, yeah, nah, it's Paul and the good ol' boys for mine...
"...That policy agenda includes reducing middle class welfare, increased education and health spending and labour market reforms ..."
Sounds ok, but, good luck stripping back that middle class welfare. My friends that made it out if the ghetto are very attached to that, very very attached to that, and they're still voting labor funnily enough.
"...increased education and health spending ..."
I think labor need to realise its not just about more money. The 'building an education revolution' proved that. Lots of cash, some dodgy buildings, and no revolution whatsoever.
People are concerned about the culture around schools. The namby pamby system, the rearimg of a generation of pussies ill equipped for the real world, if I may be so crass.
And sadly, I hate to inform, that's coming from an overzealous system that's been, and being, informed, infiltrated, and overrun by a generation of.. . er.....well...how can I put this nicely... a generation or two in fact - of identity politics influenced and obsessed do gooders...with little fucking idea of the real world.
Sorry I went there again.
...stunet, you should have taken out the fat kid, it can be most satisfying. Especially if they're one of those fat kids who thinks fat is big, and big is strong.
Those little tubsters require some sorting out....
Guy Smiley, "aspirational Australian"! You mean "Howard's battler" ie the under-educated and over-mortgaged?
Anyone been watching 'Back In Very Small Business'? I don't know why I thought of that...
Anyway, let me hazard a guess, Sypkan, you have little to do with today's school-age youngsters ?
If only you knew turkeyman. If only you knew.
I could tell you, but that'd just give crypto more misguided ammunition.
@factotum, mighty fine work this arvo quoting the acid guru and therefore referencing Kidman's Glass Love where Leary is quoted while Optus plays in the background. Was only thinking of Timothy Leary the other day and that very quote as recently I've rediscovered George Harrison's music and articles about that period when the Beatles were on acid.
Yeah, Howard's "battler" got quite a run in the day, flannie wearing cashed up landlords, it would be "unAustralian" (another Howard-ism) to be any other way. Oi.
@sypkan, got no idea where your head's at man, on here ripping strips off Labor for selling out the workers all full commie like and how the media manipulates the walking brain but your last post WTF is going on there? Your comments about schools is especially ill-informed and aligned with the clap trap that comes out of the IPA and LNP's Department of Cultural Wars established in the mid 80's by the Howard the unflushable turd.
I wish people wouldn't change their user names all the time, i did think Factotum was Talking Turkey or Shanter or.....
Funny how you can tell people by their writing styles and what they say and how they say it.
Well I was joking guysmiley...and channeling a little too much trump. I really shouldn't mix it up like that.
The culture wars is such a funny concept.
Tell me guysmiley, who do you think is winning at the moment, in terms of curriculum and education?
And, who has had the most influence over the last 30 years or so?
From a 'culture wars' perspective.
There is no right answer. I'd just like to know how ill informed I am.
'My friends that made it out if the ghetto'
That says it all. What about lil' andy's 'stuck' cunts that aren't getting out? And who took the place of the escapees?
What a system, that the dream is to escape it. And the truth is, not enough room in the tunnel out of the engine room. Give the 'stuck' cunts a shot at the lottery, a one in a million shot 'out of sykply's ghetto'.
'Where the fuck have you been you lazy 'stuck cunt' I've been waiting all morning for that discount dental equipment!!!'
'Fuck sorry man, had meeting about pay cuts, then traffic... hey couldn't help us could ya, I'm in agony me tooth's fucked...'
'Sure thing 'stuck' cunt, but its a $100 bucks up front to have a look... and then probably another couple... at least...'
'Faaarkk... I only get $20 after all the deductions... and shit, I got no power, the electrician wants $80 just to park in the driveway... maybe a grand all up...'
'Well... I haven't got all day 'stuck' cunt... what's it gonna be...'
'Oye... 'stuck' cunt, where the fuck are you, you lazy 'stuck' cunt, you're supposed to have that fucking discount camera down at dribbleton by now...'
'I'm on the way, I'm in agony me tooth's fucked...'
'Take a fuckin' panadol and move it 'stuck' cunt...'
'Oye you fuckin' 'stuck' cunt, they seen ya fuckin' van parked in front of the fucking chemist... I'm docking ya 'stuck' cunt!!!'
'Big fucking deal ya 'stuck' cunt... that's what ya fuckin' lunch break is for... try a fuckin' stunt like that again...'
Its advanced... dog eat dog... with a difference but aye mmmaaayyyte!!! In a nutshell!!
We lurv's ya amesy... and we lurvs you too ya 'stuck' cunts, now get back to work so's ya can get out of the 'ghetto'...
In the spirit of the moment and with reference to a current theme on this thread, I'd like to add a timely musical interlude from a friend of a friend's band that you've never heard of.
"...Tim Leary, LSD!"
A strange connection between my Leary (Paul...guitar freak from the Butthole Surfers) and Timothy.
Actually, the connection is pretty tenuous.
Here's the time Al Jourgensen (of Ministry), and Gibby Haynes (lead freak of the Butthole Surfers) and Timothy shared a house together!
Al's take:
"In addition to taking me in, Tim let Gibby Haynes stay at his house for a while. Tim encouraged us to take whatever drugs we wanted—he was the guru of LSD, after all. But as an academic and a researcher, he wanted to see what effects different hallucinogens had when they were coupled with different substances—coke, heroin, Nyquil, Hungry Man dinners. He would get all this hallucinogenic shit mailed to him from all these companies and universities and then test it on us every couple weeks. Actually, it was mostly on me. He kicked Gibby out of the house after he peed in the drawer of an antique desk in Tim's office when he was off his head. So Gibby went and I stayed.
Tim would get me to shoot up all these laboratory drugs that were based out of MDA—ecstasy and Ayahuasca, an Amazonian concoction made from shrubs, leaves, and Virola, a South American drug that you grind into a powder and cook down. Tim had me shooting up all this shit. He would be all excited and say, "Hey, I got a new package." And I would groan, "Okay, fuck. Let's do it." I would shoot it up, and he would scribble down notes on how the drugs affected me. I don't know what he was writing because to me the hallucinations were always the same."
Gibby's recollections (in an interview):
"When [Al] hooked me up with Tim Leary a lot of weird situations happened. We got kicked out of a Johnny Cash concert at the Viper Room because Tim was heckling Johnny Cash. The killer one was waking up in Tim's study and seeing him feverishly typing three feet away from me. I was so hungover that I had pissed in his kitchen. He was nervously typing, like I shouldn't have been in the room, and I discovered my dick was hanging out of my pants and was warm and moist.
Errr, what caused that?
Who knows? I guess when you sleep in Tim Leary's study your dick comes out of your pants and gets warm and moist.
Maybe you pissed yourself?
I definitely pissed in his kitchen. Oh, and I let his blind dog shit in his living room. In the middle of the summer the sliding-glass doors to his house were open. I shut them in the middle of the night. I didn't know you were supposed to leave them open because of his blind dog: It was the only way he could go outside to poop in the middle of the night. Not only did I urinate in his kitchen but I let a dog shit in his living room. I was not the consummate house-guest.
Is that why Tim kicked you out of his house?
The urine thing wasn't really my fault. I was like, "Dude, your entire kitchen is white. That screams toilet to me." There were probably three times I got so drunk in the middle of the night I got up and randomly urinated. It usually involved the color white. I peed on a couple one time, in their bed in the middle of the night. Their room was white."
factotum, I paid my respects to the great man while I was at Anfield and sang my heart out.
You obviously took the wrong turnoff on your way to Findhorn blinded!!! Again...
And, how are you finding the gyms!!! Doing the swillnuts proud I hope!!! On the local scene... so to speak... stup'es 'radical' - ness has suffered a blow, he's done an ankle... ankle bone attaches to the neck bone saga kinda thingy thing... again... but with a difference but... pain level 18 out of 10... so you'll have to wait for that 'rad' event with a difference but... we lurv ya amesy!!!!
Say hello to 'em at Findhorn for me blinded!!! In a nutshell!!!?
Supreme Commander and Protector-in-General Dutton arranges urgent visas for latest boat arrivals stating these are exceptional circumstances and besides French au pairs are always welcome in this country.

"It's no good in complaining about the world's environmental problems if you vote for the people that want to put their foot on the accelerator of a growth economy."
Former Greens leader referring to rampant immigration.
"It's no good in complaining about the world's environmental problems if you vote for the people that want to put their foot on the accelerator of a growth economy."
"Well I think Dick Smith has his alarm bells going on this… It's really tied up with growth economics and the future of our society. We need prosperity, but can we continue to consume more out of a finite planet? And the answer ultimately is no, we can't. So how are we going to make this transfer?"…
"It's the immigration policy that is actually leading to the fairly rapid growth in Australia's population. And ultimately, that can mean a decline in living standards rather than an increase. And I tried very hard in parliament… to look at – because it is tied to growth economics "
Former Greens leader Bob Brown
And that is why I bag the greens.
The G word has become their N word.
Never to be mentioned...along with a heap of other no go zones.
Just to be clear when de natalie came along, under a barrage of criticism, I thought he might be good for the greens. You know, add a bit of legitimacy and professionalism to make them a real force, to appeal to a wider audience.
However it appears the opposite has happened. Too many compromises and deals with the liberals has undermined their legitimacy. All this whilst they changed their focus to minority and refugee issues, forgetting all that made them a party in the first place.
As I said, they neo liberalised a little too much...
Yes, but anyone can see that if we 'take our foot off the accelerator', hell even just coast at zero growth a while, then we'll head into recession. This is the way our economy is structured.
So what do we do? Anyone got plans to stave off a recession? Howsabout the blueprint for a new zero growth economy..?
Love to hear it.
I really think australia has become obsessed with this avoiding recession thing. They are kind of normal, natural even.
Anyway, if through the roof immigration is the only way australia can manage our economy then maybe we are just as dumb as the world portrays us to be....or at least our leaders are...which would reflect on us.
The zero growth, or steady state economy was getting real momentum about ten yeats ago. You know, back when climate change was in vogue, and people actually wanted to do shit. Now, not so much...barely a word...
....and barely a word from the greens either...then or now.
@stu, I'm sure your question is rhetorical as you would already know the answer but I'll like to wager one way of growing the economy without the increasing the population is via an increase in productivity.
When was the last time we had federal politicians seriously talk about the importance of increasing it? I think you would have to go back to Hawke/Keating and their compacts with unions and business along with real emphasis on vocational education and training and targeted business investment in new technology and capital.
Of course Howard opened the flood gates on immigration, slashed funding for universities and flogged of the TAFE sector to private enterprise who duly ripped off the tax payers to the tune of billions of $AUD.
But that is only part of the issue, increasing productivity is an economy wide pursuit requiring worker and capital to be clever, focused and determined to work together to improve and equally to share the reward ..... errr, how do you think that's going to work with the current (low) level of political debate? Its a long-term or generational thing, Hawke / Keating were making real gains bring all stakeholders together and in a wiff of smoke it was gone.
Its still possible, other countries manage this really well (e.g. Scandinavian countries) but it will require a level of (mature) political debate that's hardly feasible here. It is no accident that there are now two books about AU titled Lucky Country .... in the meantime lets blame the greens or Labor or those latte sipping namby-pambies from the inner suburbs.
Well, one could argue if the left concentrated on workers, services, equality, and economy for the last 30 years rather than facilitating the selling off of the means to do all of the above through their 'third way' way neoliberalism bullshit we'd be in a much better position.
I'd argue that anyway...
"A generation lost to identity politics" John Pilger.
And, re. recession. There's not much point selling off our children's futures in real estate and government assetts to the highest bidder to maintain some mythical 'just right' growth figure if that 'just right' growth figure is making people's lives miserable.
Kinda defeats the purpose.
And perhaps more importantly, it just in debts our children in the process rather than setting them up for the future. I believe that's called injustice social justice warriors.
Stu - The recession is coming regardless and it'll be ten times worse now than what it would've been if the powers that be hadn't allowed the rent seekers to run the Ponzi scheme for as long as they have.
Guy - You we're going so well till your last sentence. Virtually all sides of politics deserve the blame on this one. If your sweet favourites happen to be amongst them then take it on the chin.
At least you expect to be cast to the wolves by the LNP. When the others do it it's painful.
Gentle level immigration is always a good thing; but it doesn't look like the major parties have any intention of giving succour to this obvious line of common sense; that's now why many, where they can, move to regional areas to shore up slower paced, old world quality of life, redolent of that of earlier generations of Australians. The reality is that even those regions will well and truly choke by mid century based on current federal policy and ecological ignorance. Where next, into the great deserts???
But once again, I'd implore fellow Swellnetters to read PROSPERITY WITHOUT GROWTH . . . Economics for a Finite Planet by Tim Jackson - Economics Commissioner on Sustainable Development (UK). Jackson puts together strong and cogent arguments for living well at lower growth and considering different perspectives on the visions for prosperity. His obvious interest in exploring the possibilities of low carbon technologies and ecological macro economics is palpable though the work is not hard-line dogma. He writes:
"Equally it's clear that changing the social logic of consumption cannot simply be relegated to the realm of individual choice. In spite of a growing desire for change, it's almost impossible for people to simply 'choose' sustainable lifestyles, however much they'd like to. Even highly motivated individuals experience conflict as they attempt to escape consumerism. And the chances of extending this behaviour across society are negligible without changes in the social structure."
We need to live within the ecological limits of a finite planet - fear of recession and contrived economic growth is a state sanctioned fetishisation forged to enshrine bipartisan "no change" - really gutless and spurious politics)that is selling out our children's future and those further along the time continuum. Realistic immigration levels into a highly drought prone largely desert nation, MUST be part of the mix.

Where the fuck is all the freesurf footage of Gabs Medina?
Internet is full of contest shit , but fuck all of him destroying the bag and documented with some epic filmmaking.
Sort your shit out , Gabby.
You're the best in the world , allow me to salivate over your mindless water slaughter.
Spuddy, there is some good news out there.
Make sure you watch the vid.
".... The recession is coming regardless and it'll be ten times worse now than what it would've been if the powers that be hadn't allowed the rent seekers to run the Ponzi scheme for as long as they have."
This has gone on for so long it's getting a little scary now.
Andy - I heard a bit of scuttlebutt - from a very credible source - regarding a certain international petroleum corporation who is pushing for this regrading of the island's status listing and throwing a few dollars at it so that they get a bit of leeway with expansion plans for another island that they are currently flogging .
Either way it's worth a try , I've never seen a place so devoid of life anywhere , ever as Hartog.
Except for the sea life which is crazy. Sharkiest place around.
It's great to see the ecosystem of somewhere on our planet improving. It's just a shame that it's at the expense of somewhere that is being jeopardised by the same partial benefactor.
PS Good thoughts , Spuddy.
After some time on Google Earth, makes me want to pack the fourby, hitch up the boat and head off...
And part with your life savings to take fourby and tinnie out there
fuckin expensive 15 mins of travel...!
" Point is Facto , that both sides have wet dreams about a 100 million population in Australia. Shorten has openly and vigorously declared he is all about a big Australia, whilst the LNP are at the behest of their business masters that also demand a big Australia.
So what Bill is saying is that both the majors are keen and the rest of us can go and get fucked. In fact , they're so keen that they want a formal declaration of truce on the subject so that neither of them can ambush the other with an anti- high immigration policy . As they know such a policy will lead to a virtually uncontested victory.
See how the democratic process has been smothered ? Both parties reach a consensus therefore declaring that Australians don't get to take their opinions to the ballot box." blowin.
I find it quite sad and scary that the major parties can actually do this.
Sad that they would circumvent public will in these tumultuous times. An arrogance so extreme it's either stupid or dangerous.
And scary that they have found the will for cooperation on this one single issue, whilst being unable to agree on anything at all for the last ten years.
Reeks of something. And it ain't democracy.
I reckon it'd be a really nice part of a Big Lap, wouldn't you say?
Towed the tinny out there earlier in the year.
Should be called Dirk Hardslog island.
Amazing place.
Spot on Syppo.
Blowin, why hard slog?
The distance, the state of the dirt road, the wind, the chop?
Bernier and Dorre look amazing, probably too much for a small tinny though.
That's a great link on Dirk Hartog Island Andy - a beautiful good news story!

You're absolutely spot on. Strange and disturbing bipartisan agenda . . . whose really pulling the strings there . . . and to what end? It's not just about the sanctimonious high moral ground i.e. the heroic social warriors/social engineers who know best so the plebeian public should just put up and shut up. It's profound arrogance and it's time for more people to get behind the SUSTAINABLE AUSTRALIA PARTY.
Stay salty
Isn't it!
Now if they could just do that with Fraser, starting with the backpackers.
Just a coincidence?
The ABC has s 15 minute slot on the 730 report each day this week entitled Australia 2050, with the topic discussing sustainable population. (Obviously they have been reading the Swellnet Politico Forums)
From what I remember and probably what you already know;
There are more people considering the issue and acknowledging its importance in relation to immigration,knowing that by 2050 we are heading for 45 million.
The urban sprawl is developing quicker than infrastructure.
The tendency to retrofit infrastructure is 5x more costly.
5 bedroom house and land package in the boondocks is available with a 5% deposit at $500k.( At a guess the house would take up most of the land)
18 month wait for child care place. 6 months for the kiddie learn to swim classes. (Aaah, first world problems)
30 % of current population weren't born here. ( seems high and I haven't been able to confirm this)
54% of Penrith drivers leave area to go to work each day.
Melbourne is more or less rooted congestion wise, and the next 10 years are going to get much worse as roadworks try and fix what should have been started 20 years ago.
Theres a little Island in Indonesia between Rote and Sumba just south of Savu island, nothing at all there.
And Indonesia is considering sending it's refugees there.
Seems they are worried of conflict with locals, because refugees are living it up in Kupang and locals are getting jealous.
@westofthelake, saw that also, what I also heard was while the politicians and the country were worked up in a frenzy over the 60,000 odd refugees that came here (by boat) over the last 10 years during the same time 3.5 million migrates came here by plane.
If that was a little poke in the ribs at me, you will recall me bringing up the topic and my concern for unsustainable population growth a number of times, i think it's great the issue is getting a little attention.
Comparing controlled migration through official entry points with immigration, customs to boat arrivals to boat arrivals is very silly though allowing boat arrivals goes against all the reasons we have official entry points, immigration, customs, quarantine and it also goes against why we have refugee quotas and resettlement programs.
As far as numbers go we only have 60,000 odd boat arrivals over the years thanks to both the great work by both Labor and Liberals in protecting our borders and in policy that keeps the situation under control and discourages rather than encourages boat arrivals
Although Rudd did completely fuck up and showed us how a change of policy can quickly see things snowball with over 20,000 people arriving in one year, before he backflipped and now we still have to deal with his fuck up with people in offshore detention.

New Delhi, Nov 8: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday evening announced that all Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes will become illegal tender from the intervening midnight of November 8. This means, from 12:01 am of November 9, none of these notes will be accepted anywhere as legal money. The move is believed to have been taken to curtail black money as well as combat the menace of forged currency notes.
What ahould we do?
Modi also said people will have 50 days from the date of the announcement — until December 30 — to exchange all these high-denomination notes at post offices and banks. However, notes and coins of all other denomination — Rs 100, Rs 50, Rs 20, Rs 10, Rs 5, Rs 2 and Re 1 — will continue to be legal tender, meaning they can be used to buy products and services.
Modi also said some arrangements have been made so that people do not face problems due to this decision. The prime minister announced that all banks would remain closed for public on November 9, conducting their own work. He added that all ATMs would not function on November 9, while some ATMs would not function on November 10.
Then, when the ATMs come back online, the initial withdrawal limit will be Rs 2,000. This will be increased to Rs 4,000 later, according to official sources. Meanwhile, there will not be any cap on non-cash payments and transactions -- those that take place via cheques, cards, net-banking and mobile-banking.
He also assured the people that their money would remain theirs, and they need no worry about it. In essence, although the Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes become illegal tender, people will get the exact amount in lower denominations when they exchange the currency notes from banks or post offices.
There may not be any reason to panic immediately, though, because many organisations will continue to accept notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 denomination for 72 hours -- three days, to be precise.
New noted to be issued
The Reserve Bank of India, meanwhile, will issue new notes of Rs 2,000 and Rs 500 denomination, which are expected to come into circulation shortly.
Why the drastic step?
Addressing the nation on Tuesday evening, Modi said that a neighbouring country has tried to destabilise India by circulating forged currency notes for years. The fresh step is expected to put stop to that. Although he did not name the country, Modi was indicating Pakistan.
The prime minister also said in his address: "The twin diseases of black money and corruption have daken deep roots in the country, and are becoming a huge hindrance in the battle against poverty.

The last week of March was my school's SMART Hackathon. Everything about it was amazing! In a field full of creativity, think of this as a blank cavas. Just like the Notebook software it can be anything we want it to be. It was discussed how it would go, what would occur during each session and where the success would lie.
The biggest question when selling this to my colleagues and administration is "What is it?" In a nutshell, it's the most open ended activity you can imagine. No rules. No right way. No wrong way. Your way. Everything that is being stated in the educational journals regarding the way we need to be teaching today comes to fruition during this event.
An excited class walks into the computer lab. Kelly Miksch and team, at my event included Jason Smith, ask the students what they are learning. She'll make a list of it on the SMART Board and gets thnd shows them 1-2 of the LAB activities. A game is created in less than 5 minutes focusing on questioning techniques appe kids thinking about the content they are learning. Questions are asked the same way any classroom teache would guide inquisitive minds. Then they enter the world of Lesson Activity Builder (LAB) activities. From this she gets them excited about video games aropriate to the population she is working with. The students quickly see the repeated template format in each one and the energy soars. From here the children are chomping at the bit to get with their partners and create.
Listening to the conversations with the classmates, they select a topic (unless you predetermine it for them) and what they want to focus on. The students then create their first LAB activity using every level of Bloom's Taxonomy and all the 4 C's you can think of. 45 minutes later each group has at least 4 games, we couldn't stop them if we tried, and then it's time to share. Each pair rotates through the computer lab playing every game created by their classmates
It was success and there was such pride in every aspect of this. As with most lessons, there are unexpected outcomes that seem to blow us away. You see at the beginning, our Hackathon plan was to be with one class of 14 students. We later added a 3rd grade group who created their activities in 20 minutes, a teacher group where an apprehensive educator took over by assisting a colleague with a technology question and (our favorite moment) hearing a special education teacher yell out "That's her IEP goal! This 10 year old child with an Autism diagnosis created a game, completed it successfully and it's her goal. She has a hard time doing it in the classroom and on here she does it in record time!"

In the things ain't changed much category.
Historically, witches were convicted based up what was said (auricular evidence) not what was seen (visual evidence)….
hmm. thinkin of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Huckabee, Sara Palin, etc. making claims about Dems, the left, Obama (e.g., the Birthers), which though absolutely false become "legitimate" through being repeated (auricular) in spite of any actual (visual) truth to the matter. Palin's "death panels" is another one.
I.e., it don't have to be true, it just has to be said enough. "The Big Lie" as wielded by Hitler, Stalin, also. I.e., it don't have to be true, just to be said long enough, loud enough, from the highest rooftops enough. Bush and friends lies about Iraq wmd's used to get us into the war….
So, Fox "News" can be compared to the Inquisition. (I knew it felt bad.)
Krause probes Renaissance witchcraft
Yael Katzwer
March 4, 2011
Section: Arts, Etc.
"'She confessed and was burned' was a refrain," Virginia Krause, an associate professor of French at Brown University, said during her lecture yesterday, titled "Under the Witch's Spell: Demonology in Renaissance France."
During the lecture, held in the Mandel Center for the Humanities and sponsored by the Mandel Center for the Humanities, the Romance Studies Department, the History of Ideas Program and the Comparative Literature Program, Krause focused on the intangible evidence that many courts required while prosecuting witches.
Her main focus was on Jean Bodin, the 16th-century French author, who wrote treatises advising the French courts to rely on auricular evidence rather than visual, believing that the auricular was more trustworthy than the visual.
Due to this belief, most witches were prosecuted with their own confessions, obtained after torture. Bodin wrote that a confession "must pass from the mouth of the witch to the ears of the judge."
Krause asked rhetorically, "What sort of truth must pass from the witch's mouth to the judge's ears? Secret crimes? Heresy? Witchcraft's dark crimes—crimes that cannot be seen in the light of day but only whispered in the darkness?"
Krause explained that there was a set formula of speech, almost like a spell, that all judges had to say when sending an accused witch to be tortured for a confession; Krause said, "All the judges said, 'Considering that your statements are not constant and that there is sufficient proof to warrant this and so that your speech will not offend the judges, you will be subjected to torture …' on such and such a date."
There was also a set formula for confessions, which has led historians to wonder what the accused witch actually said and how much of their testimonies have been honestly preserved.
In order to elicit a confession, Bodin suggested different ploys aside from torture. The main ploy was to send a friend of the accused witch to visit them in jail, where they would converse with the accused until nightfall, at which point they would ask to remain in jail overnight in order to continue their discussions. The court would place spies outside the jail cell to write down everything the witches say, the darkness both hiding them and setting the tone for the things being discussed. Once they had the auricular evidence that the accused was a witch, they would get the witch to confess.
The main question that Krause sought to answer during the lecture, however, was why auricular evidence is preferable to visual evidence. Courts tended to discount visual evidence because it was believed that the devil could confuse one's vision.
The courts believed that the devil could cause visions in women, making them believe that they had the ability to fly. Krause said that "the eyes of these women are blinded" became a mantra during the Renaissance.
Additionally, Krause said, "Knowledge about some things, such as the sacred, could be gained by the senses such as hearing and touch, not vision." Moses was the only prophet to see God; all the others merely heard Him.
Bodin, who believed that he was a prophet of God, had personal "proof" that the miraculous manifested itself in sound, not sight. He tells his story, paraphrased by Krause, that "during his 37th year, he became aware of a spirit and he had prophetic dreams. He heard something knocking on his door at 2 or 3 a.m., a time of darkness, but he could see nothing. He began to fear that it was some evil spirit."
Bodin eventually became convinced that the spirit was not evil, but was in fact a sign that Bodin himself was a divine prophet. He claimed that this spirit communicated with him via touch rather than sound or sight. Bodin wrote, "Since then the spirit always accompanied me, giving a perceptive sign by touching me first on the right ear and then on the left ear." Krause pointed out that it was significant that, although the spirit was not communicating by sound, it was touching Bodin's ears.
Although Krause spent the majority of her lecture discussing the importance of speech and hearing during witchcraft trials, her respondent, Professor Govind Sreenivasan (HIST), focused on putting the prosecution of witches into a context that would be easier for modern people to understand.
"It can be related to questions of terrorism—there's a tendency for the gloves to come off," said Sreenivasan. "The rules have to be different for witchcraft because it is a very different kind of crime."
Torture was not used in most criminal cases but, like with terrorism today, witchcraft was something that terrified people and caused them to behave drastically.

We have a saying here in Colorado in regards to the weather..."Only in Colorado." Only in Colorado will the sun shine while it is pouring rain. Only in Colorado will it be cold one minute, and sunny and warm the next. Only in Colorado will it snow in the middle of May. And snow it has been doing. This past Mother's Day saw those of us who garden out in the drizzling rain covering up our crops and newly planted seedlings in the hopes of saving them against any pending freeze, as well as turning on the heat lamps in the chicken coop and adjusting the thermostat to allow the heater to turn itself back on in the house (just when you thought you were done with it for the season). Weather in Colorado always manages to make us natives shake our heads and sigh and continue about our business (because there's really nothing that we can do about it anyways). The Monk is pleased as punch because he once again got to don his snow boots (which I had actually already put away in the closet for what I thought had been for good) and drop straight into the newly fallen powder to cast a late spring snow angel. While it isn't actually freezing and we do desperately need the moisture, it is these late and, often freaky, snow storms that we here in Colorado can't help but wonder...does Mother Nature have a sense of humor or what?
Only in Colorado

Flow up to 410 m3/h per reactor.
The Dulcodes LP is the first UV system to have a variable lamp output over a wide temperature range.
The unique combination of electronic ballast technology and the Vario-Flux lamps enables the lamp output to be adjusted over a broad power range of up to 50%. It automatically adapts to changing flows or changes of water temperature.
Maximum efficiency and minimal life cycle costs are therefore achieve due to the reduce number of lamps and minimal use of energy.
Optimum flow in the reactors is based on intensive computer simulations. The radiation dose is even without over- or under-metering a partial volumetric flow. At the same time the pressure loss is kept minimal.

It's been a good week for Vermont's Cumbancha recording label getting some well deserved (inter)national press.
First, on Monday, National Public Radio gave Razia a nod in their article 5 New African Bands That Ruled In 2010. She's from Madagascar, now living in New York City. "Zebu Nation", her debut recording, was released last spring on Cumbancha's "Discovery" label for emerging artists. I happened to be in New York last April so I stopped by S.O.B.'s when Razia and her band were having their CD release party. The house was packed and the ecological message of her music couldn't have been more timely: it was Earth Day. Razia's personal warmth and conviction infuse her music with both soul and urgency – she offers catchy, melodic, original songs with a first-person view of the severe environmental issues that face her native island country.
Then, for the second high profile media mention this week, last night Brazil's Luísa Maita was featured as the "global hit" on the BBC program The World. Like Razia, Luísa released "Lero-Lero", her first recording, on Cumbancha Discovery this past year. She also came to Burlington for a sold out performance in early November that generated a lot of buzz: Who is she? Where has she been until now?
Warmth is also a word I'd use to describe Luísa's delivery, with traditional Brazilian bossa novas and sambas forming the core of her very contemporary, classy sound. In fact her music was so ripe for remix that that's exactly what happened: Lero-Lero's late summer release was quickly followed up by her Maita Remixed album in early November, also on Cumbancha Discovery. If the original recording was hip (it was), the remix package lends urban polish to the whole project with contributions from notables like DJ Tudo, Seiji, and DJ/Rupture. The best remix albums start with strong material, so this one was destined to be memorable.
Cumbancha's motto is 'live local, listen global' – an idea it embodies every day with recordings like these two.
Full disclosure: I've volunteered and worked part-time at Cumbancha for a little over three years now. I've said it before: I would be listening to and writing about their recordings even if I didn't.

Rieff, Philip, 1922-2006
Extent: 2.6 linear feet (7 boxes)
Philip Rieff (1922-2006) was an American sociologist, cultural critic and professor at the University of Pennsylvania from 1961 to 1992. He is best known for his critiques of Freud and Freud's influence on society and morality in Western cultures. The collection is almost entirely composed of letters and postcards written to Rieff alongside a small number he authored himself. The subjects of the correspondences are largely personal, ranging from social letters with friends to thank-you letters from prior students. There is a large body of correspondence from Evelyn Joll (1925-2001), an art dealer and scholar who specialized in the work of the British painter J. M. W. Turner. There are also a small number of documents from academic and professional bodies, such as the letter awarding Rieff a Guggenheim fellowship in 1970.

(Your Guide to Good Canned Beer)
by Clay Moore
"Summer's here. I'm for that.
I've got my rubber sandals, got my straw hat.
Got my cold beer, man I'm glad that it's here..."
--James Taylor
Even though the summer is half over, I think the fall is going to be hot as hell. So plan on
more BBQs, late afternoon parties and other reasons to drink beer outside.
Did you need another reason?
It seems that in a world of countless beer choices (insert voice of movie trailer guy)
beaches, pool parties and events that don't allow glass end up with the same fare --
canned swill. Broken glass, heavy recycling bins, skepticism and the lack of handy bottle
openers have stifled good canned beer from reaching the masses.
Not anymore.
You don't have to settle for mass produced canned beer and spend most of the day in
gnarly port-o-johns. Nowadays, there are a number of excellent canned beers available
which break the pre-conceived notion that you can't find good beer in a can. The next
time you think you have to drink something from the "Big 3" outside, think again.
My standby for non-glass events is Dale's Pale Ale from Oskar Blues (Lyons,
Colorado). At 6.5% with a nice hoppy bite, it's the perfect parking lot beer, or for
sipping next to an air conditioner inside. Pale Ale in a can happens --
and it has been happening since 2002.
There are many other styles from OB as well:
Gubna Imperial IPA -- At 10.0% and 100 IBUs, it will make you forget your wife
dragged you to an REO Speedwagon show.
Ten Fidy Imperial Stout -- Chocolate and malt at a hefty 10.5% (hence the name).
I'm drinking one now.
Old Chub Scotch Ale -- Though it may be an acquired taste for some, it's
still an option available.
Momma's Little Yella Pils -- Enough said. A crisp, golden pilsner at 5.3%.
.Gordon Imperial Red/Double IPA -- You must try a beer named after a
local Vietnam Vet and Colorado craft brew pioneer
(Gordon Knight) who died in a 2002 fire.
While scorching heat might not make an Imperial Stout your first beer of choice, isn't it
nice to have options? For extra credit, visit OB's website and
see what else they are brewing.
It doesn't end there.
Sly Fox from Phoenixville, PA has its own lineup of canned goodies: Route 113 IPA,
Pikeland Pilsner, Phoenix Pale Ale, Ocktoberfest, Dunkel Lager and
Royal Weisse Ale. Options, options, options.
Though I've not seen them myself, Brooklyn Lager has been spotted in cans. I've also
tasted the various Butternuts farmhouse beers (Porkslap Ale, Moo Thunder, etc.).
For those of you lucky enough to find it, rumor has it that Harpoon IPA and
New Belgium Fat Tire comes canned as well. Don't forget Yuengling Lager either.
You can get with this, or you can get with that.
Hopefully the above gives you more options the next time you show
up to a summer get together.
In closing, drinking PBR in cans has become too chic these days. For those of you
ready to bring PBR to your next event, if you really want to look cool,
put it back and bring something else.

Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay
I'm late to the party with this one but this long weekend I picked up Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay. This is a collection of essays written by Roxane, herself. Topics range from race to fairy tales and The Hunger Games. I am only a couple of essays in but so far this is a complelling and thought provoking book that you can dip in and out of.

HealthMarkets Insurance Fraud Lawsuits
The health insurance provider, HealthMarkets, made the news a lot in the last several years. But sadly, it's not for the reason that the company wanted. The insurer has landed into hot water several times. And this is because it claimed to offer comprehensive health insurance for its consumers. But instead, it failed to provide what it had promised. In 2010 the company was even sued by the Los Angeles City Attorney. The basis of the charging document was false advertising. In other words, Los Angeles believed this insurance corporation was lying to the public.
The LA Times even quoted the Chief Assistant City Attorney as saying:
"All their marketing and training and advertising was aimed at convincing people that this was comprehensive coverage that will protect you in your time of need. It certainly did not prove to be that way."
This lawsuit is among many that the company has faced. This lawsuit alleges 13 consumers felt cheated by the company. And in one case, the cost of health coverage far outstripped what the company offered.
Hence, it left its consumers feeling misled. The Christensen family was without a breadwinner and $450,000 in back medical bills. The company, formerly known at UICI, has even become labeled 'junk insurance.'
It has repeatedly faced accusations of not providing proper care when needed. Also, this was much to the detriment of its customers. Also, the corporation has gotten embroiled in lawsuits multiple times. And it's gotten sanctioned by multiple government agencies. So if you or a loved one had coverage with HealthMarkets or UICI, you could have a case. Were you denied coverage at a critical time? Then you may be able to get justice. Of special interest, you may win even without filing a lawsuit.
Winning a Healthmarkets Claim
Most of all, our skilled liability attorneys have battled big companies for the little guy. And we have repeatedly won time after time. So let us go to work for you and your family. Why not hold the insurance company accountable in bad faith? Also, you may also have other claims or causes of action? So call us today for a free, no-pressure consultation.

Another large stride was taken at the weekend towards running's last great barrier as Kenyan Dennis Kimetto broke the marathon world record by winning in Berlin in 2:02:57.
It was a 27 second improvement on the previous best set at the same race 12 months earlier by fellow countryman Wilson Kipsang. Kimetto's astounding run now brings the first ever sub two hour marathon less than 180 seconds away.
Surely now it is a case of not 'if', but 'when' the barrier will be broken. The marathon world record has improved by two minutes in 10 years and by three minutes in sixteen years. If the same level of progression is maintained, the iconic mark will be broken in 2030.
Of course, the closer man gets to the very edge of human possibilities, the more incremental the progress.
Then again, if the men's marathon has its own Paula Radcliffe moment, we could be looking at a one hour-something marathon a lot sooner. When Paula clocked 2:15:25 in London 2033, it was over three minutes faster than any woman had managed before.
And, although it is a very different event, Usain Bolt has redefined what is possible in the sprints. Who's to say a similar figure will not emerge in the marathon? Training and coaching continually develops, footwear and running apparel are ever improving and nutrition and other areas of sport science are increasingly sophisticated.
The record is also not being clipped by one or two seconds. 26 seconds is a fair chunk. Kimetto's run will not only have given him confidence, but his rivals' confidence that they too can go better. After all, 'If Dennis can, why can't I?' they will ask.
One thing is for sure, the Berlin Marathon is the place most likely to host the landmark occasion when it does come. The German city has hosted the last six occasions that the world record has been set. It has also been broken three times in the last four runnings of the event. It has become the city for world records due to its flat course and benign conditions.
One day it may yet host one of man's greatest athletic feats. And it may be sooner rather than later…

Today's picture parade also comes with words.

Take a moment of Zen with these dogs
Chilled-out canines experience a moment of utter calmness
Australian animal photographer Alex Cearns remembers the first Zen dog image she ever captured, a Shar-Pei named Suzi.
"During her photo session, I caught a shot of her with her eyes closed, and a big smile on her face. I called the image 'Zen Dog,' and when her owners saw it, they immediately fell in love with the vibe of the image and with Suzi's relaxed and happy pose," Cearns says.
"With such positive feedback, I became keen to capture the emotion and moment of being a Zen dog for other dogs who visited my studio."
Cearns tries to take at least one Zen-like image for every dog photo session she conducts at her Houndstooth Studio, even if the process takes time. She has compiled 80 of these images of meditative canines in her new book "Zen Dogs."
To get her canine subjects to relax, Cearns makes sure they are authentically calm and happy. Her studio is small, quiet and without many distractions.
"During my photo sessions, I realized that some types of dogs are more likely to close their eyes than others," Cearns says. "Dogs who were fairly laid back, or who liked to lie about were easier to photograph in a Zen state, whereas dogs overly fixated on toys or treats wouldn't close their eyes for a second, should the toy or treat disappear. They kept their eyes firmly on the prize."
Although it might look like the dogs are zoned out or even sleeping, that's not the case; Cearns has skillfully caught a restful moment with her camera.
"The images capture a split second blink of my dog subjects, freezing the moment in time," she says. "Sitting only a foot away, I'm able to watch each dog subject carefully to pick up on their blinking pattern, and take a series of images just before I predict their blink."
The book "Zen Dogs" includes photos of a wide range of breeds, interspersed with Zen-inspired quotes by Gandhi, Buddha, St. Francis of Assisi and others with thoughtful, meditative words to share. There's this one, for example, from "Unknown":
If you're always racing to the next moment, what happens to the one you're in?
"As soon as a dog visits my studio, I aim to genuinely make friends with them and ensure they are comfortable and feel secure," says Cearns. "I try to find out what they love most — a certain type of treat, or a particular toy — and then use that knowledge to win them over."
Don't know about you but I have been incredibly stressed out these last few weeks. So that saying: If you're always racing to the next moment, what happens to the one you're in? really speaks to me.
Big hugs to you all.

Although the term "custody" is used frequently to describe parents who have the children the majority of the time, Washington state statutes have eliminated this term and the consequences that normally flow from having "custody."
Washington state now uses a Parenting Plan. The Parenting Plan provides where the children will reside 365 days a year. All major holidays are divided, as are vacations and special occasions such as birthdays. The parent who has the children the majority of the year is deemed the "primary residential parent" and the other parent is deemed the "non-primary residential parent
The only reference in the Parenting Plan to joint matters is "joint decision-making." This usually involves three major areas: 1) non-emergency medical care; 2) schooling; and 3) religion. Depending upon the circumstances, all or some of these areas may be required to be made jointly, or by one parent or the other. Nothing in the statute requires that the primary residential parent (normally known as the custodial parent) have any say in these matters, although commonly they do. The statute sets forth the criteria for determining whether joint decision-making is appropriate, when this issue is contested. In general, if there is a history of abuse or confrontation, it is not appropriate for there to be joint decision-making on the major issues.
Washington's statute RCW 26.09.087 states the main factors for consideration:
(a) The court shall make residential provisions for each child which encourage each parent to maintain a loving, stable, and nurturing relationship with the child, consistent with the child's developmental level and the family's social and economic circumstances. Providing that there are no grounds for restrictions, the court shall consider the following factors:
(i) The relative strength, nature, and stability of the child's relationship with each parent, including whether a parent has taken greater responsibility for performing parenting functions relating to the daily needs of the child;
(ii) The agreements of the parties, provided they were entered into knowingly and voluntarily;
(iii) Each parent's past and potential for future performance of parenting functions;
(iv) The emotional needs and developmental level of the child;
(v) The child's relationship with siblings and with other significant adults, as well as the child's involvement with his or her physical surroundings, school, or other significant activities;
(vi) The wishes of the parents and the wishes of a child who is sufficiently mature to express reasoned and independent preferences as to his or her residential schedule; and
(vii) Each parent's employment schedule, and shall make accommodations consistent with those schedules.
Factor (i) shall be given the greatest weight.
While there are no "joint custody" provisions under the statute, the court may order "equal intervals" if the following criteria are met:
(i) No limitation exists under RCW 26.09.191 (no abuse, etc);
(ii)(A) The parties have agreed to such provisions and the agreement was knowingly and voluntarily entered into; or
(B) The parties have a satisfactory history of cooperation and shared performance of parenting functions; the parties are available to each other, especially in geographic proximity, to the extent necessary to ensure their ability to share performance of the parenting functions; and
(iii) The provisions are in the best interests of the child.
The statute provides a variety of factors in considering which parent will have the children the majority of the time. Each case is different and how these factors will be weighed depends upon the individual case. One of the factors is who has provided the primary care for the child for the last year. The statute provides that there is to be no preference for women or men.
The court has a great deal of discretion in setting the individual schedule. In general, however, the court will grant as much visitation as possible to the non-residential parent depending upon how involved that parent was in the child's upbringing. For example, if both parents were heavily involved in the child's upbringing and the court determines the mother to be the primary residential parent (custodian), the father would likely receive more than the typical every other weekend visitation. The goal of providing this additional time would be to maintain the child's psychological bond to both parents. To the contrary, in the case of an uninvolved father, the court will often grant every other weekend visitation and some time during school vacations, holidays and summer. This schedule would be designed to ensure that the father continues to play a role in the child's life, while permitting the parent who has traditionally provided most of the emotional support for the child to continue in that role.
It is important to understand that there is no set formula. The court will always look at visitation from the child's needs and determine what schedule is appropriate for the child.
While the court's goal is to provide time with the children in a way that will meet the child's needs, this is not always possible. Where there are allegations that the other parent is unable to care for the child, the court will take necessary steps to protect the child and investigate the allegations. Restrictions to visitation with the child are set forth in the Washington statute RCW 26.09.191:
Major considerations are: 1) Willful abandonment that continues for an extended period of time or substantial refusal to perform parenting functions (this applies only to parents, not to a person who resides with a parent); 2) Physical, sexual or a pattern of emotional abuse of a child; 3) A history of acts of domestic or an assault or sexual assault which causes grievous bodily harm or the fear of such harm.
Other considerations are: 1) Neglect or substantial nonperformance of parenting functions; 2) A long-term emotional or physical impairment which interferes with the performance of parenting functions; 3) A long-term impairment resulting from drug, alcohol, or other substance abuse that interferes with the performance of parenting functions; 4) The absence or substantial impairment of emotional ties between the parent and child; 5) The abusive use of conflict by the parent which creates the danger of serious damage to the child's psychological development; 6) A parent has withheld from the other parent access to the child for a protracted period without good cause.
These are the some of the most difficult family law cases. Emergency matters must be addressed first. If there are physical or sexual assaults the police are typically involved. Whether or not the police are involved, civil restraining orders are often sought on an emergency basis. Temporary orders are usually entered until an investigation is completed.
It is important to thoroughly gather your evidence at this point. Vague allegations or hearsay statements carry little weight with the court. Whenever possible documentation is best. For example, saying that your husband is an alcoholic has little meaning, as it is simply your non-expert opinion. Producing documentation of a drunk driving conviction is a far more compelling piece of evidence. Your attorney will assist you in assembling your most persuasive evidence.
Once the emergency issues are addressed there is typically an investigation. The Washington statute RCW 26.09.220 provides for an investigation and report or a guardian ad litem, or both. The investigation typically involves interviewing the parents, the child and any potential witnesses. At the conclusion of the investigation a report is issued which makes recommendations to the court. There may also be a separate evaluation of drug and/or alcohol abuse issues. The evaluations typically carry a great deal of weight with the court. As such, great care should be given in requesting a qualified and experienced evaluator.
The outcome of the case will depend upon the evidence gathered and the recommendations of the parenting evaluator. Your attorney will assist you in preparing your case for trial if the parties do not agree to accept the recommendations of the parenting evaluator.
