FOLLOW THE RABBIT-PROOF FENCE, Aboriginal Australian girl-children with more grit than most adults
DORIS PILKINGTON aka Nugi Garimara
University of Queensland Press
$17.95 trade paper, available now
Rating: 3.5* of five
The Publisher Says: This extraordinary story of courage and faith is based on the actual experiences of three girls who fled from the repressive life of Moore River Native Settlement, following along the rabbit-proof fence back to their homelands. Assimilationist policy dictated that these girls be taken from their kin and their homes in order to be made white. Settlement life was unbearable with its chains and padlocks, barred windows, hard cold beds, and horrible food. Solitary confinement was doled out as regular punishment. The girls were not even allowed to speak their language. Of all the journeys made since white people set foot on Australian soil, the journey made by these girls born of Aboriginal mothers and white fathers speaks something to everyone.
My Review: Doris Pilkington's grandfather was a cowardly white man who failed to protect his three half-Aboriginal daughters from the colonial mentality espousing their forced removal from their parents. Their mother left the cad, good on her, and was still powerless to act against the white government to get her daughters out of their "residential school" where they were maltreated. The aim of their removal from Aboriginal society was to prevent them from passing on the values of their society, instead becoming darker-skinned white people. Oh, and not just that, but inferior servant-class white people.
Can't imagine where the Aussies got such a horrible idea. Nope. Just can't. Nor where the South Africans got the idea for apartheid. Nuh-uh. Imponderable. No relation to the American policies on Native peoples or former slaves. Dear me, no.
That sarcasm out of the way, I will remark that the story is presented as a novel despite the fact that Pilkington aka Garimara (1937-2014) was writing about her very own mother's story. It freed her to write about the details of the girls' experiences, ones she must have heard from her mother's own lips, without the burden of fact-checking or documenting things that were never written down or part of any official record in the first event.
The prose isn't stellar. In fact it's pretty clunky. I enjoyed the Aboriginal words used without explanation, since there was a handy-dandy glossary in the back of the book; I didn't want the author to lead me by my lily-white hand to the Promised Land of Otherness. I expect that my rating would've been a lot lower had she done that. I was simply dropped into the otherness, as Molly and her sisters were. It's a good technique, effectively putting the reader into the shoes of scared children.
In the end, the experience of reading the book was better than the book itself. What a weird sentence that is; I know I must sound like a raving loonie. But what I mean by that is that this is a truly important and continually relevant (depressingly) tale of oppression and victimization based on ethnic difference. It just isn't a particularly well-written one. And still it makes a strong impression on the reader, one that means something inside shifts a bit, hopefully in a positive direction. I'd suggest reading it to anyone who thinks the segregation of an ethnic minority is in any way a good idea.
The 2002 film, Rabbit-Proof Fence, is only $2.99 to rent at Amazon. It's got some areas where it's a bit better than the book, and some lovely cinematography. The book and the film are best enjoyed together. How unusual is that!

Situated strategically at the juncture of Decker's Creek along the Monongahela River, Morgantown became a large entity that was whittled down and divided as the territory was populated. In fact, with the Civil War and its accompanying unrest, West Virginia itself was carved and separated from Virginia. Through the years, the town made a name for itself in coal, the whiskey trade, and glassmaking, the latter of which earned Morgantown its greatest measure of fame. Still, the town took comfort in and continues to enjoy the employment opportunities and prestige of West Virginia University.

Should We "Leave the United States Now"?
A former Special Ops soldier and self-styled member of the Illuminati has advised Illuminati News editor Wes Penre to leave the United States now because of an anticipated catastrophe which is both natural and man-made.
Penre, after a history of "down-to-the-point conversations" with the man, who writes under the handle "Illuminator13," praises him as a man who is "working behind the scenes for the benefit of mankind" and "a good friend and a soul brother." Penre claims that Illuminator 13 is a walk-in and a wanderer from 6th density – a claim which I have a little difficulty with.
The actual message appears at http://multiverse.wespenre.com/leave-america-now.htm.
Another version of it appears at http://wespenre.com/illuminator13-part2.htm.
Illuminator13, a "true insider," provides Penre with the following details.
"When the economy crashes Martial Law will be declared as there is also a food shortage in America that HAS NOT been allowed to leak in the mainstream media. When this happens Gold will be outlawed and it will be worthless. All of the 'food hoarder's' will be in for a surprise because their food will be taken.
"The U.S. Army is going to be used as 'shock troops'. Everything will go down in less than 2 months at the most and I want you and your family to leave immediately. I haven't even mentioned the thing about China and its plan…if you stay I am 95% sure that you will not live to see 2012." (1)
Need we fear a largescale man-made or natural catastrophe for the United States? Will the unacknowledged extraterrestrial and spiritual force that surrounds the planet at this moment, opposes the Illuminati, and is assisting us toward a planetary transformation in 2012 allow the imposition of martial law, the taking of people's food, the interference of China in American affairs, and a general die-off of the population?
The short answer is "no."
Let's listen to what two sources I rely on, Matthew Ward and SaLuSa of Sirius, say about such a scenario.
In my view, Matthew is a very evolved being and a master teacher in the spirit planes. He transitioned in 1980. He assured us in 2008 that, even though rumors continue to circulate, no catastrophe will be allowed to overtake the United States.
"As long as any dark tentacles are lashing out, dire-sounding pronouncements, predictions, speculations and warnings will continue to swirl, and judging from emails my mother is receiving, these cause concern even to lightworkers.
"To ease minds about several issues that keep popping up in Internet articles or channeled messages: There will be no war with Iran; concentration-type camps will not be filled with the millions who oppose government policies; no 'Planet X' or any large celestial body is on a collision course with Earth; there will be no need for your space family to evacuate all peoples before planetary cleansing makes Earth uninhabitable….
"And these current issues: Russia will not engage in a major war and neither will China; and martial law will not be declared … a dramatic event would be needed to achieve that, and technologically-advanced souls off-planet and living among you would prevent that kind of attempt." (2)
"Saner minds know there is no troop power, no war-machine equipment, and, most important, no will among nations for a conquest that could escalate to incalculable loss of life or even planetary destruction.
"Furthermore, even if such a conquest is the intent of a few desperate dark minds, you who have read my messages and those from other knowledgeable off-planet sources know that the technology of our space family will once again successfully prevent such action if it is attempted." (3)
SaLuSa, a spokesman for the Galactic Federation of Light, reminded us in 2010 that:
"The final days of your present cycle are near, and are to take you away from the lower energies and set your feet upon the path to Ascension. Nothing short of a command from the Creator will alter the outcome, and you are assured that your upliftment will take place.
"The wishes of every soul will affect the manner in which the final days are played out, as you are still creating and your combined energies are determining the manner in which they finally occur. Be careful that you place your focus on all that is of the Light, and do not allow your guard to drop. You do not want to give succor to those who oppose you, and misdirect your energies for their use. (4)
"Have no fear as the end times have already been written, so that all turns out as divinely planned. …
"Any concern you may have about the future is best put behind you, as time will show that there was never any doubt as to the outcome." (5)
The destiny of each of us is determined by a number of variables. Operating over all is our sovereign free-will choice. We will ascend depending on whether or not we choose to.
"Duality such as you have experienced it is not to continue beyond the end of the cycle [in 2012], and that will also include the astral dimensions. Therefore all souls will make a freewill choice as to where their journeys will take them next. Your subconscious memories of having come from the higher dimensions will draw you back to them." (6)
"Free will allows for absolute free choice so that you can determine your own pathway to the Source." (7)
Matthew agrees:
"In this wondrous Earth that is on the near horizon and already created in the continuum, there is no fear, no violence or greed or bigotry or any other divisiveness that thrives in a third-density world. The choice is yours as to which world you want to be in, but because of our unconditional love for every soul, we pray you will choose the one of love and peace." (8)
Operating as well are the stipulations of our "pre-birth agreement," also known as our "soul contract."
SaluSa is referring to it when he says: "You have a life contract of which very few are personally aware, and have seen into the future and planned it accordingly." (9) This soul contract accounts for the karma we experience. Says SaLuSa:
"Of course there are amongst you people who have been wronged as you would interpret it, and do consider themselves 'victims.' However, this is all by arrangement and you are a willing partner to the karma being played out.
"No matter how severe the circumstances, the fact remains that you were aware of your agreed life plan before you incarnated on Earth. Many will argue against it, convinced that they could not have agreed to suffer or indeed see others suffer.
"Be assured that when you pass over and return to the astral planes, you will clearly understand all facets of your life. You will review your life, and this can be a sobering time when you find out how well you have done where your life plan was concerned." (10)
A third variable is the Law of Attraction, commonly rendered as "like attracts like." If we live in fear, we attract to ourselves fear-filled outcomes. That's why SaLuSa advises us, above, to "have no fear" and to put behind us any concern we may have.
"Where you direct your thoughts is where your energy goes, and the more you focus upon it the stronger the link becomes for you. So you can see, Dear Ones, why it is important to keep in your sight the beneficial changes promised to you. In so doing you are helping manifest them quicker than they might have done otherwise. Your present reality developed in this way and hence we say that you created it yourself." (11)
"Freewill is a gift from the Creator that is sacred and covered by the Law of Attraction. Human beings sometimes blame others or God for their experiences, but in truth they are attracted to you by your thoughts and actions. … Freewill is still your prerogative, but having agreed to a plan for your life you are drawn to those people and experiences that will help fulfil it. Your Guides are also very active in keeping you on track, but the final word is with you." (12)
Thus, if we live our lives in fear of martial law, concentration camps, and being killed, we're attracting situations to us that will result in those outcomes.
The situation of a Special Ops soldier who has served the Illuminati is, almost certainly, not the fate of a lightworker who has served God and others. Whereas the former indeed may have good reason to fear the end times, the latter most probably would not.

If anyone ever tells you a long term injury doesn't mess with your head,and sleep schedule, they are lying. When I left you yesterday the plan was to go to sleep….and I did…for about a hour. At which point in time my ex-husband called to discuss our son. This normally wouldn't be an issues except I was having an off day. So after a long discussion of our child(hey we are trying to make co-parenting work.), I couldn't go back to sleep. It was bad. The thought process would NOT stop. The worry. The stress. It wouldn't let go of my brain long enough for me to sleep. So it was another night of getting lost in the Netflix world. Is it just me, or can y'all get caught up, like I do while watching the whole season at one time, that you talk to it like they can hear you? No? Just me? Lol. Anyway it was close to 11am before my eyes and brain got it together enough to work together and let me sleep. But I was awake again by 3:30ish….not just awake, but awake and out of the bed. Tried holding a legitimate conversation with my son. Who promptly fussed at me and told me to get my butt back in bed because exhaustion was a very real thing and he just knew I had it. Kid is good. Sadly he knows the signs of when I haven't been able to sleep and how to help with it. I was able to lay back down but it took a good 30 to 40 minutes for me to doze back off….only to be back awake by 5:45pm….and been up ever since. So my picture today..well, we will call it exhaustion. (Please excuse, well, the hot mess that is me…)
So…now I am awake again. I have eatten (thank goodness for leftovers) and am back in the bed. Hopefully I will be able to go back to sleep soon!
Hope y'all's day has been better!
Love, prayers, and blessings,

Last month, I attended the AFC Cup 2012 Draw at AFC (Asia Football Confederation) House at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Due to my hectic schedule, I was not able to stay back further to catch the AFC Champions League Draw. To be honest, the attending of these Draws had given me a real insight of what's going on at the draw scene in which normally, only concerned clubs' officials and media were invited.
What welcomed me at the venue were banners and banners of our Asian futbol clubs, those which were qualified for the AFC Champions League 2012. Obviously I knew I am at the right place for the Draw!
Registering myself under Junpiter Futbol, media, I stood at the end of the room trying to catch the whole action at a glance. Probably due to my (full-time) work nature as an event manager, my focus switched to the Draw's setup such as the type of seating arrangement, the position of the sound console, the lighting setup, the backdrop, how the Draw result was announced, the drawing equipment used and etc. The entire setup was exactly what I had expected but probably the flow of the programme was something new to me.
I could see that many clubs' officials were anxiously waiting to know which group their respective club would been drawn into. Prior to my arrival at the venue, I was informed that there would not be any Singapore's futbol official at the Draws so with all great respect, I am the only representative from Singapore at the Draw! And among this group of clubs' officials, many came wearing official suite with their clubs logo embroidered on the chest. There were some even in their national costume! Well, considered myself a pure South East Asia and East Asia futbol follower, I've only seen the West Asian (futbol) on TV. That very day, its the first time I ever met West Asian futbol representatives in person! I thought that was quite cool!
I did not stay long but the exposure I gained from attending such an prestige Draw was amazing! For those who are interested in the upcoming AFC Cup 2012 and AFC Champions League 2012, you may click the below links for the respective schedule..
Click AFC Cup 2012 or AFC Champions League 2012
Unfortunately, Singapore's futbol clubs are not eligible for the AFC Champions League, I would hope to see our only qualified teams, Home Utd and Tampines Rovers, in the AFC Cup, flying our Singapore's flag high at the Asian level.
Before I end my writing here, another piece of interesting fact for you who are reading this, the overall highest top scorer for Singapore in this AFC Cup is our former Singapore's striker, Indra Shadan at 10 goals! Followed by Egmar Goncalves at 8 goals and Aleksandar Duric at 7 goals. Base on the current status, 41yrs old Duric is definitely fit enough to slot in a few more goals to overtake SAFFC's Indra Shadan! Do not let us down, Singapore's boys, all the best!

This is a good AWT (Aerobic Weight Training) w/o. It is very Firm-esque and has IMO equal cardio and strength segments. The full version clocks in at 60 min and the express version is about 40 minutes. HCF was originally released with the TransFirmation system (BSS5) with the cardioweights, but is now available separately. This workout provides enough strength work to be used on a strength day. But there is also enough cardio in it to really work you.
Allie looks FANTASTIC in this one! She does have some babytalk moments-that might annoy some, but they are tolerable. Alison provides the beginner modifications and there are 3 other background exercisers-Rebecca and 2 non Firm ladies. The set is hardwood floor with white brick walls and foggy windows.
All the cardio is done on the floor (no box) and includes some kickboxing-cross punch, upper cuts, etc. Some "old school aerobics" hamstring curls-nothing too dancy. Her cuieng is good and the moves arent tricky so you shouldnt have a hard time following along if you are familiar with the Firm.
Strength moves include a lot of compound moves such as side lunge with bicep curls, squat with overhead press, lunge with a twist. I like that there is some standing ab work interspersed into the strength and cardio moves.
The Firm introduced their "power press" moves in this series and you will see the "triceps tummy toners' in this one. Basically a crunch with a bench press into an overhead triceps extension. I think they used the power press moves as a replacement for the old Firm signature move-the leg press.
You can easily modify this one up or down to fit your needs. I added a lot of plyos and really heavied up and got a great workout! As is I would rate this as a solid intermediate w/o.
Instructor Comments:
good cueing as always. Babytalk is a bit much but tolerable.

Fighting fraud: How biometrics and artificial intelligence are helping to keep you safe online
Once upon a time bank robbers needed guns and balaclavas. Today a mouse and keyboard can be more dangerous. Every year too many Aussies are defrauded by cyber criminals, resulting in annual losses of more than $2b, according to the Australian Institute of Criminology.
One common fraud method is 'phishing', where the victim clicks on what looks like a genuine email from a company such as their bank, an online trading site, or another organisation. Except that it's not their bank, and their keystrokes are captured revealing their username and password. The phisher then logs into the genuine bank account doing what's called an 'account takeover' and helps themselves to your money.
Fortunately there's money in security, and as the fraudsters get cleverer so too are the programmers working for good developing increasingly sophisticated technology to thwart criminals.
Here's a taster of what the fields of biometrics, artificial intelligence, and computer science are doing to help protect us against increasingly clever cyber-attacks.
Big data and analytics
Back in the day banks were very manual and their information was siloed, but they accept that they need to move forward to counter fraudsters. These days banks and financial institutions are learning to manage and analyse terabytes of historical and third-party data in real time. Combined with other technologies, this analysis of big data can often spot a fraudster in action and may be able to stop them in their tracks.
Biometric authentication
Biometrics uses statistical analysis of online behaviour to authenticate customers. In short, the software analyses things such as the speed and rhythm of your keystrokes and mouse use online. A fraudster will have a different rhythm and with the right software can be prevented from emptying your bank account before any damage is done. Companies offering this type of technology include BioCatch and Behaviosec, which can pick up anomalies in data entry patterns. These systems can mutate as threats change.
360 degree view
Think of this as a holistic approach to protecting you. As banks evolve for the digital world they can access a 360-degree view of your buying behaviour, banking operation, and trading patterns providing them with a holistic view of your behaviour. If, for example a clone of your card is being used in Argentina in an unusual way, the transaction could be flagged very accurately by sophisticated software. Currently there are a lot of false positives with this approach, but it is improving rapidly.
Have you heard of Bitcoin? It's electronic currency that aims to be super secure. Don't try to get your head around that in one go. But suffice to say that the 'blockchain' technology behind it can help protect banks against hacks. Blockchain is a huge decentralised database that's much more secure than old banking systems because fraudsters would have to hack into every single computer containing copies of the same data to get your money. As organisations such as banks move to using blockchain, you'll hopefully get better protection.
Fingerprint recognition
The password is dying and methods of fingerprint and other identification such as voice, face and irises are expected to become more common. Banks are already using some of this technology in Australia. As well as fingerprints, face, eyeball selfie, or voice recognition can be used instead of passwords. In the future you can expect to use your fingerprint to authorise purchases or transactions. It's not failsafe, however and even your fingerprint can be hacked.
As a consumer you also need to play your part in preventing fraud by everything from avoiding clicking on unsolicited emails, using secure PINs, changing passwords periodically, never revealing your PIN to anyone, and just keeping your wits about you.

Late winners, blow-outs and records both good and bad – Round 7 of PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues had a little bit of everything.
FNQ FC Heat 2 (Darcy MCCORMACK 17', Jamie CARROLL 21')
Brisbane Roar FC Youth 1 (Jayden PRASAD 68')
Match Report - http://bit.ly/1Slbpsd
FNQ FC Heat struck twice on the counter-attack to see off a determined Brisbane Roar Youth 2-1 at Barlow Park and maintain their unbeaten start to the season.
Despite the heavy rain in the build-up, Young Roar's passing game proved relatively unaffected by the soggy surface; however the visitors were ultimately left frustrated by a resolute Heat defensive effort despite pulling a goal back via Jayden Prasad midway through the second half.
The result sees Heat maintaining their lead atop the competition table – marking a third straight win and extending their club record unbeaten start to the season to seven games.
Gold Coast City FC 7 (Benjamin LITFIN 13' 15' 44' 89', Rhys SAUNDERS 43' 51', Roman HOFMANN 46'p)
SWQ Thunder FC 1 (Mustafa JAFARI 18')
Match Report – http://bit.ly/1SISnGf
Benjamin Litfin delivered four goals as Gold Coast City scored their first home win of the season – thrashing SWQ Thunder 7-1 at Duncan McKenna Field.
The results and extends their unbeaten run in the league to six games and is the biggest win by any PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues club in Queensland this season.
Thunder are yet to beat City in seven previous meetings across both PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues and Westfield FFA Cup and also leaves the Toowoomba club still searching for their first away win of the current league campaign.
Brisbane Strikers FC 3 (Rhys MEREDITH 23' 43', Fraser HILLS 50')
Sunshine Coast FC 0
Match Report - http://bit.ly/22C57Uu
Rhys Meredith struck his first double of the campaign as Brisbane Strikers notched their fourth straight win - shutting out Sunshine Coast FC 3-0 at Perry Park.
The win extends Strikers undefeated run against Fire in PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues to seven games since 2013 and marks a third consecutive clean sheet for Strikers goalkeeper Sebastian Usai.
Fire's second straight defeat sees them remain mired at tenth in the league standings, while Strikers also remain unmoved in third place.
Northern Fury FC 2 (Darren WALKER 40', Matthew RICHARDS 60')
Brisbane City FC 3 (Nathan BIRD 34', Jason PARK 45', Mitchell HORE 83')
Match Report - http://bit.ly/1SRK4rN
Brisbane City overcame two Northern Fury fightbacks to return to winning ways with a dramatic 3-2 victory at Ingham Showgrounds.
Darren Walker and Matthew Richards both equalised in search of Fury's first points of the season but a late Mitchell Hore header secured a first win in three matches for John Kosmina's side.
Fury's night soured further when Jonathon Bagley received a second yellow card late in the match as the club's record losing streak stretches to seven matches.
Western Pride FC 1 (Mitchell BIRD 53')
Redlands United FC 2 (Michael LEE 40', Tyler BRAYLEY-COMBE 90')
Match Report – http://bit.ly/2679n2M
Substitute Tyler Brayley-Combe struck a dramatic late winner as Redlands United edged out Western Pride 2-1 at Briggs Road Sports Complex.
Already ruing a number of missed opportunities, Pride seemed destined to settle for a frustrated draw after Mitchel Bird cancelled out Michael Lee's opener early in the second half.
Despite nursing a myriad of injuries to key players, the win is Redlands third in a row and sees them remain second in the table – four points behind leaders FNQ Heat.
For Pride, the result marks a second straight defeat and sees them remain ninth in the standings with just a single win from five home games this season.
Olympic FC 1 (Liam O'BRYAN 33')
Moreton Bay United FC 6 (Royce BROWNLIE 17', Taiga ISHIKURA 26', Scott STEWART 39', Jonathan MARRAIYA 45+1', Jacob FULLUCK 81', Jackson HALL 90+1'p)
Match Report - http://bit.ly/1TcwiTf
Six different scorers shared in the spoils for Moreton Bay United as they handed Olympic FC a club record 6-1 defeat at Goodwin Park.
The win is Jets first in four matches and moves the defending Champions back into the top four.The result also furthers Olympic's early season woes – extending their club record losing run to five matches and eclipsing their 6-3 defeat at the hands of Northern Fury in 2013 to become their PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues largest losing margin.

It has been five years since our family began an annual tradition of attending the Texas Renaissance Festival for their School Days program.
This year marked the Texas Renaissance Festival's 8th annual School Days and I honestly think each year they get better and better.
Two days of the year are set aside for School Days, a time when the grounds are not open to the general public and all demonstrations, shows and activities are age-appropriate as well as educational and entertaining.
As always, attendees are invited to come in full period costume and many take full advantage of the opportunity.
Set in "New Market Village", an authentic recreation of a a 16th century English village, there is a bit of the unexpected at every turn.
Throughout the village streets, on stages and in arenas, magicians and jesters entertain all who pass by.
Artisans wear period dress while illustrating the trades, music, and technological advances of the Renaissance age through live demonstrations.
Our favorite musicians of the day were a band named Vana Mazi. They fuse together "the music of Greece, Italy, Central Asia, and the Balkans with Gypsy Jazz, Turkish beats, and a pinch of their own American heritage."
We sat for a good while on nearby concrete benches to clap along with their quirky, absolutely addictive tunes.
One of the recognized trades of the period was the craft of spinning and weaving…
…including the selection of raw wools, the process of spinning, and finally, the weaving loom.
Remember this guy from last year's post? For the record, I checked…he has no hooves.
The "Quick Silver Mint" creates authentic hand-made medallions based on the first industrialized tool of the Renaissance times, the "Drop Hammer" coin mint. This tool made coin-making increasingly more accurate than the previous hand-hammered techniques and was apparently based on Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical genius.
At "Wright's Royal Armouries" we learned a few things about the creation of the distinctive weapons and personal armor used during the Renaissance time period.
Did you know that a soldier's personal armor could weigh up to 80 pounds? With such heavily-armored riders on their backs, it is no wonder the war horses weighed in at approximately 1000 to 1200 pounds.
The pretzel guy had absolutely nothing to do with any of the demonstrations, but as you can see, he and Mr. Kettle Corn still play a significant role in New Market Village.
Most of the vendors are quite interactive, like this weaponry vendor who had a line of students waiting to try their hand at archery.
And of course, everyone can appreciate the obvious effort that goes into the fabric selection and dress of those who work the festival.
Check out the head-dress on the woman who painted Emelie's henna tattoo.
In addition to all the live demonstrations, there are a number of shops that sell whimsical, handmade crafts from local artisans.
In fact, Kenny rested for a while in the most amazing, hand-crafted mesquite rocking chairs I have ever seen. Of course at a price tag of $2500.00 each, it is probably the last I'll ever see them, but oh my they were beautiful and so very comfortable.
Returning to the Renaissance Festival this year was just what we needed to take our minds off some health issues we have been facing with Kenny.
If you are anywhere near Plantersville, Texas during next year's School Days definitely take the time to check out this enchanting 55-acre village.
Shaded cobblestone walkways, unique arts and crafts, turkey legs and funnel cakes, not to mention the daily shows put on by the hundreds of costumed performers makes it well worth the $8.00 ticket to get in.

Discussion in 'Fan Corner' started by Sammyyy, Jul 1, 2008.
Avatars for Round 1. Not up to scratch, was rushing it.
Havent touched photoshop in ages...just a sig i made this arvo
Wow, real awesome!
Pretty cool. Blend in the render a bit more and maybe bring it to the top instead of behind all the textures and it'd look tops.
Thanks James & U23...yeh i thought the render was a bit too light, with this one i just brought it forward...I think this one looks better? :think:
Top job, very well done!
I'm using our stuff as my avatar and sig...Great work!
Great work Sammyyy. I wish I could use photoshop this well. I **** at it.
Hope you don't mind me using your Cory Patterson signature. I think it's really good.
These are both yours so I was wondering if you could do Gidley versions of them?
If you can, I'd really appreciate it.
Wow, I really like that one. The text is pretty good actually, the blending of the overall sig however needs improving which will only come with practice. I love the design of the signature and whole layout. Nice choice of effects however they need to blend more and the render (Gidley) needs to be a little more clear and defined. Keep posting.
Good work. KIU!
Just a set of sigs i havent posted yet...
They're sensational Sammyyy!!!
Almost forgot how good you were at these.
They're great!
you are a very talented at Photoshop.
Really love the Gidley one
Awesome job on the Gidley one. + Rep
I don't know anything about making sigs, but I see alot on here and that Gidley one is the best I've seen for awhile, top job!
Awesome work! Second one is the best.
Sammy that 2nd one is up there with some of the best, you are improving out of sight!
As I said I'd do a Wes sig..
I Wanted to add more effects to the player and text. However when i sent my computer in to get fixed..my photoshop was deleted and I only had Adobe Elements editor which has limited options with the effects :doubt:
Separate names with a comma.

In the last couple of years, I've begun the ego-swallowing ascent that all programmers eventually have to take to achieve, what I'll call, Programmer's Nirvana.
The trek up the mountain goes something like this. In the beginning, you learn a language, begin coding, and build small things that, at the time, seem monumental. You continue to build and build, learning new tricks of the trade. You eventually figure out why all these big ideas — best practices, patterns, architectures, and frameworks — all exist. You eventually see why someone originally built that thing because, five years later, you've finally been presented with the problem who's existence was the sole reason for that thing's creation.
But, inevitably, no matter how far you think you've advanced, the next project comes calling, and some completely new challenge presents itself. Your fifteen years into your career — Shouldn't you have this shit down pat by now?
After fifteen years of writing-some-kind-of-code for the Internet, I've come to terms with — no, solemnly and contently nod to — the fact that no set of patterns or frameworks or toolsets neatly solves every type of problem I'll encounter. There will be approaches to solve a problem that will inevitably cause a small drip somewhere else in my code. Rarely do I ever feel caught up — that I've come across every problem to have the perfect solution, or even the perfect anticipation, for what might be hiding around the corner. And, as soon as I think I have, I soon find out that I haven't again.
As DHH often writes about, it's dangerous to get into the habit of thinking you can bat down every business problem by layering abstractions. Over-engineering and premature refactoring are often the patterns in our thought process that get our code all dressed up with nowhere to go.
So, what do I mean by Programmer's Nirvana? At some point (for me, maybe 12-13 years into my career), you accept this fact. You let go of the romantic idea that your code will be perfect. Aiming for perfect code in a breathing application is like trying to aim at a bullseye from a moving train. And, even if you hit it perfectly, you know there will be a time to aim again.
And, for the lucky ones, at some point after you've surrendered, you actually start enjoying making "dirty" coding decisions. Repeat yourself, because right now, it makes sense to write nearly identical code rather than spend time trying to abstract the common bits out. Rip out the ORM and replace it with some nasty, un-Intellisensible raw SQL. Sacrifice elegance for something more crude, because it will make the app run faster, and because the rawness might make things easier to understand for the next developer that gives you a helping hand.
Programmer's Nirvana is reached when you stop judging your code quality by how pristine it is, and start judging it by why you made those decisions at the time you made them. Once you do that, you can look back on your well-worn application — the one with all the nicks and bruises and weird little imperfections in code but still is running and serving some purpose five years later — with quiet satisfaction rather than discontent.

How often do you think about buying new furniture or decorative accessories? and how often do you actually change things like sofas, beds, blinds - or even cushions?
New research from an online furniture company suggests loads of us go for well over 15 years with the same mattress and sofa while things like carpet stay with us for decades...even when worn or very grubby.
Obviously big ticket items can be very expensive and we don't want to rush into a purchase. And of course it's not remotely eco friendly to keep replacing old with new - although if we recycle items by selling or giving them away that lessens the impact of the new puchase deed.
But some general pointers seem fairly universal, so which of these resonates with you?

New Delhi, India | 8th Public Talk, 4th March 1959.
May I suggest that we talk this evening about the mind in meditation, which is a most complex and subtle problem. If one does not know what meditation is, true meditation, I think one misses everything in life. It is like being in a prison where you see only the wall opposite you and know only the limitation, the pain, the sorrow and all the petty little things that make up your life of confinement. So it seems to me that meditation is a very direct and intimate problem for each one of us, because it requires the approach of a mind in meditation to understand the whole movement of life.

According to Third Party Software document (3BUA000500), you'll need 800xA 5.1 rev A or greater to run IE9.
The supported version of IE changes part way through the revision history.
At RevA - IE9 is supported
At RevE - you need to be on IE11
However, if you're currently running IE8, you ~should~ be able to go to IE9. It might be better to snapshot the VMware station before you upgrade just in case. From personal experience, 800xA does not play nicely with the wrong version of IE and migrating to an unsupported version can cause trouble.
If you can avoid changing the IE version by not using DSET, then I'd try that.

Act 250: The Next 50 Years - Burlington
The legislative commission on Act 250 has scheduled six public forums. The first one was in Springfield on June 27 at 6 pm. Here's a list of the remaining meetings:
- July 25, Royalton (Chase Community Center, Vermont Law School)
- August 22, Island Pond (American Legion)
- September 5, Rutland (Franklin Conference Center)
- September 10, Burlington (Burlington Elks Lodge)
We encourage industry partners to attend a forum so that your presence is noted on record. Your attendance and submission of written comments and suggestions about process improvement are important. It is unlikely that there will be another opportunity in the near term to weigh in on such an important topic for Vermont.
We believe that your attendance and submission of written comments and suggestions about process improvement are essential. There will not be an open public forum opportunity.
The structure of these public forums includes a brief introduction to Act 250, followed by small group activities to draw out participants' priorities for the Vermont landscape and the Act 250 process. For example, in one exercise participants will be asked to prioritize values such as Agricultural and Forest Productivity, Settlement Patterns, Economic Development, Public Trust, and Scenic Natural Beauty. In another, participants will be asked to grapple with access and voice, exemptions, jurisdiction, permitting and appeals.
The Commission's Facebook page is, at present, the best source of specific information about the meetings.

Spaghetti alla Amatriciana
Courtesy of John Goldberg of Mangia Sano in Milford
2 ounces guanciale or good quality pancetta (very thinly sliced strips and then julienne the strips)
24 ounces tomatoes
½ medium onion, diced
A pinch of red chili flakes
¼ cup white wine
Olive oil
1 box spaghetti or long pasta of your choice
Pecorino romano cheese to grate on top, and a couple basil leaves torn and scattered on top
Slowly heat the sliced guanciale with a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add onions to the pan to soften in the rendered fat, cooking them until soft but without color. Add the white wine and reduce by three quarters. Add the tomatoes. Cook down on a low heat for 10 to 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Add salt to taste. Cook the pasta in a pan of heavily salted boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, or as per packet instructions. Once the pasta is al dente, drain and add it to the sauce, tossing to make sure the pasta is evenly coated. Serve straight away with plenty of grated pecorino romano and some torn basil leaves.

Pasta with fresh porcini mushrooms and truffles. It doesn't matter what kind as long as it's fresh.

A girls night out is not a sprint; it is a marathon, and to make it to the end you need to be prepared beyond measure.
You will no doubt need tissues, spare lippy, plasters, curry chips and a psychology degree to make it out the other side of it.
While each group of friends might have their own nuances and eccentricities, we nearly all follow some basic rules throughout the night.
1. The planning for girls night out on a Saturday starts Monday lunch time
Once you've gotten through those emails, and felt the full weight of Monday sitting on your shoulders, it is time to start planning the weekend.
2. There are always one or two that need more convincing than others...
"But where are we going to go? I'm not going if we can't dance".
3. The argument about the destination can go around and around with no real solution
Let's be honest, you will probably just go to your usual haunts - and hey, the dance floor is great, but there is always one or two girls who can't quite hack the club.
4. The excitement begins to wane as the week goes on
It's been a long week, you kind of just want your jammies and a glass of Pinot Grigio come Saturday.
5. Saturday finally limps around and you for sure, 100%, definitely cannot go because you have nothing to wear
"I'm serious, I don't have a scrap of clothing to wear tonight".
6. You finally scrape together an outfit and are reasonably confident that you look the best you have ever looked in your life
Werkin' it.
7. You know that pre-drinks can really set the tone for the rest of your evening
And Michelle is over there, looking a bit teary already...
8. You sip your wine like a lady. That is until the taxi arrives and you just poured yourself a full glass
Down the hatch!
9. The taxi man better have some banging tunes
And if he doesn't, you will provide them.
10. You regret your choice of shoes already, and you haven't even got to the club yet
You may look fabulous, but you can't feel your toes.
11. Any thoughts of sore toes goes out the window the SECOND Sean Paul starts on the dance floor
Get busy.
12. You get dragged into compulsory shots
No one has a choice. Who even suggested shots in the first place?
13. *Cue emotional conversations and crying*
Michelle's tears finally caught up with her from pre-drinks. You find yourself squeezed into a graffiti covered bathroom stall, with two of your best friends, trying to talk her down from an emotional ledge.
14. You unleash your inner make-up artist
Time to rub any streaks of mascara, and smudged make-up away, by just applying more make-up over it, with as much precision as a toddler drawing on a wall with a crayon.
15. You get a last dance in
You all dance your feet off, and are the last to leave the dance floor.
16. You make a beeline for the chipper
Absolutely nothing could distract you from your mission. The mission? Garlic cheese chips.
17. You hail a taxi and make the driver your best friend
You tell him some of your deepest, darkest secrets and know he won't judge you for it. At least, we hope he doesn't...

Rebecca Traister at Salon has a review of a new novel about the dark side of that upper-middle class dream land and simultaneous hell hole, Silicon Valley.
Of Jannelle Brown's "All We Ever Wanted was Everything," Traister writes,
"In Brown's fictional Silicon Valley, it's as if the fountains of money that gushed over warehouse districts and formerly middle-class suburbs had never been staunched by recession or war or reality. But she does not view this glittering stuff-machine nostalgically. The universe she has created has all the warmth and authenticity of the too-brassy dye job its heroine receives: It's a little too lustrous to be real, too obvious a mask for the gray beneath."
She goes on to tell us about a marriage in ruins, a meth addict pool boy, a financial rise and fall, and a newly promiscuous teenage daughter who has everyone in the neighborhood talking.
Sounds like good, page-turning summer reading to me. But it's not like this sort of "dark side of modern suburbia" is anything new. Desperate Housewives is perhaps the most popular example of recent entertainment which seeks to show that the lifestyles of the privileged aren't as great as they might appear on the surface, that the American dream isn't what it's supposed to be. No, these neighborhoods might look like something out of Leave it to Beaver but they have 'hood drama of their own.
This sort of anti-materialism plot trope has always come across as a consolation prize to the underprivileged to me: "Sorry, we're rich, but it's not all it's cracked up to be. Honestly," it seems to say. Now obviously I don't think money buys emotional happiness or functional families. But it's not like poverty does either. And at least with money we have time and energy to worry about the state of modern marriage and the politics of sexual reputations.

Deep down, I have always known my brother is gay. But knowing it and accepting it are two completely different things. I was officially told by a friend of my brothers when I was in Grade 10. I think after that I was still in denial. In my first and second years at varsity I was still in denial. It was not until I became friends with someone in my 4th year at varsity that I finally opened my eyes and accepted it.
I have always had an open mind about homosexuality and have had nothing against it. My brother is two years older than me and we are very close; yet when I turned 25 years old we had still never spoken about his sexuality. I never really saw the point. He knew that I knew and that I was okay with it and to me, that was enough and nothing else needed to be said. It was only long after I accepted it that we finally spoke about it.
One night about a year and a half ago, I was out with my friends at a ladies evening. Someone I had just met was talking to me about her good friend being gay and how she had just found out. I cannot really remember the details of the conversation but at that moment, I picked up my cellphone and I smsed my brother and told him that I knew he was gay and that I was happy about it. I know smsing was not ideal, but at least it was the first step. My brother got the shock of his life and tried to phone me a few times. He even tried to phone my boyfriend who wasn't with me at the time, just to check that someone had not stolen my phone. I smsed him back and told him I couldn't talk as I was in a noisy place, but to be honest I don't think I could of handled speaking to him then. When he knew that I was okay; he smsed me back to let me know that he felt very relieved and happy, that he needed to tell our other family members and that he would do it soon.
After that I felt so much better about it all and it was a great feeling. I cannot imagine the kind of feelings my brother was experiencing. When I saw him after that in person, we actually spoke about it and he started telling me about his past boyfriends. It really was an awesome feeling. I could finally speak to my brother openly and honestly about it, not having to pretend it wasn't there when it always was.
I'm sure growing up and not being able to express who you truly are in front of your family members is unimaginable until you have experienced it. I am sure there are a lot of homosexual people out there who would rather die than tell their parents or family members the truth, a lot of people who will live the rest of their lives in denial, only to please their parents. Many people will grow old, never having lived the life the way they wanted to. It saddens me that we still live in a world where homosexuality is condemned in so many countries; where homesexual people are never really accepted (even though people may think they are, they are still very judgemental). I can say that as a sister of a gay brother, finally talking to my brother about his sexuality was a huge sigh of relief. I now realise that merely knowing and accepting it was definitely not enough. We needed to talk about it and we did.
