Twilight has been named as the worst movie of all time, according to the website Rifftrax.com.
The site is run by three former cast members of the cult US comedy TV series Mystery Science Theater 3000, with Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett discussing what they believe to be the worst films of all time and, in their latest entry on the 25 Worst Movies Of All Time, they pick the teen vampire franchise in the top spot.
Speaking about the film, they simply said: "There's a lot to cover in this vast, sprawling film series so let us try to boil it down for you: 'Mumble mumble mumble moon eyes. Mumble mumble mumble mumble lay in a field. Mumble mumble mumble perv on a baby. Mumble.'"
The oft-panned 1997 film Batman and Robin, directed by Joel Schumacher, is in second place, with the Halle Berry-starring Catwoman in third, Spider-Man 3 in fourth and The Last Airbender in fifth. To read the full list, visit Rifftrax.com.
The final installment in the Twilight saga, titled Breaking Dawn – Part 2, opened in cinemas last month. It earned an estimated $341millon (£215million) worldwide at its opening weekend in November to become the eighth biggest movie debut in US cinema history.
Twilight actress Kristen Stewart has seemingly dismissed the idea that she could ever reprise her role as Bella Swan in the future. In a video interview on NME.COM, which you can watch by scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking, Stewart said it was time for people to leave the character alone and "let her be happy".

Posted by Stuart Herbert on November 13th, 2010 in Uncategorized.
Last week, I spent an evening in Bath out and about with my camera. It was a much needed break from a hectic couple of months! Some of these shots have already featured as my daily desktop wallpaper this week. Here are the 10 best shots from my evening in Bath. I hope you enjoy.

Early Years
The second school building was built, complete with a basement. Members of John Siert's family attended this 'new' Willowdale. At recess students continued the tradition of climbing the historical cottonwood tree that stood tall on the corner of the property until 2012. A section of this cottonwood is displayed in the present Willowdale memory case. Willowdale District #45 merged with other rural districts and eventually Millard in 1957.
Here are some highlights and trivia from Willowdale's 20+ years:
•In October of 2003, the Outdoor Learning Environment was dedicated by the mayor's office.
•A parent-led playground equipment update took place in May of 2004 followed by another parent-led project to update our field in the spring of 2005.
•Willowdale has been a technology leader over the years.
~The first podcast was done in 2005, one of the first in the country. These podcasts were featured on iTunes top podcasts through 2007.
~Willowdale's website, WillowWeb, has been recognized in such publications as The New York Times, Newsweek, USA Today, the Washington Post, and Scholastic Administrator Magazine.
•Willowdale is one of four cluster ELL sites in the district. At one time up to 15 languages and 24 countries were represented in our student population.
•Willowdale has been recognized for its leadership in the High Ability Learner (HAL) program.
A line from the program of Willowdale's opening dedication in March of 1993, sums up our past and present: "Despite dramatic differences between the old and new, similarities exist. Former teachers said the students and their families valued education and supported their school in many ways." That tradition has not changed. Willowdale is successful because of that continued commitment by parents, staff and community.

Because I've spent so much of my dating career as an online dater (never an easy thing to admit but I had to clear my conscience), sometimes I come across phenomena that I can't place as either standard dating behavior or a particularity of e-dating. Among these trends is what I call "phone screeners." These are women who, despite understanding that online dating starts out online, insist on an interstitial screening by phone. (I can't be sure of the other side, but come on, how many guys do you know that like to yap on the phone?)
Maybe it's women's greater affinity for "voice," or maybe there's something reassuring about getting the audio before the video (please weigh in with a Comment), but several women either requested or insisted that I call them before we met up. In a couple of cases, where it was a clear demand, I found it a really awkward requirement. There's something kind of pathetic about bursting that bubble of warm feeling and flirtation that grows from written communication with a bureaucratic mandate.
At least two girls grilled me at length on my marital status, the presence of children, and my dating history. I was supremely annoyed given that this information had already been disclosed in my profile. On the other hand, one of them told me she'd been burned before when one or more guys lied about their availability and commitments to other ladies. Fine. It's not that I don't like talking on the phone. When you're with someone special, having those endless conversations can often be really romantic. But when you haven't met the person once, those 1- and 2-hour conversations really add up, and will seem less charming and enjoyable when you finally meet for that coffee and quickly realize your spider sense steered you wrong.
I'll do the phone, but that's where I draw the line. A couple of girls' profiles that I've come across basically dictated that there would be a lengthy Skype video call prior to any face-to-face interaction. Bye-bye, next. If you're so frightened by the very idea of meeting someone off the Web, then DON'T MEET PEOPLE OFF THE WEB. Go back to that bar, library, coffee shop, or park, and wait for your prince to come galloping over on his Razor scooter. Please don't suck all the life out of the pre-rendezvous excitement by going through a series of dry investigations. Or, if you do, you might as well hire a private eye to shadow the guy around for a month or two before sitting down for that coffee.

5/5 stars
You've probably heard their hit song "Thrift Shop," but there's more to this duo than a retro fur coat.
Seattle-based rapper Macklemore and producer Ryan Lewis have worked together since 2009, but The Heist is the pair's first full-length effort. Mere hours after its official release, the album hit number one on iTunes. The unsigned duo was rightfully stunned; a work produced independently over the course of three years full of a cycle of drug abuse, sobriety and relapse was somehow an instant success. Regardless of the underdog story (he's sober now), the album shines as it grapples with profound themes over expert production.
On the album's first track "Ten Thousand Hours," Macklemore drops some of his boldest beats. In typical rap fashion, he looks to establish himself amongst some of music's greatest. Always the anomaly, Macklemore switches to some of his more unusual qualifications. He takes the opportunity to brag about impressive SAT scores and a love for street artists like Basquiat and Keith Haring.
From one type of bombast to another, the album shifts to "Can't Hold Us," an uplifting piano-pounding, stomp-along flash of studio genius from Ryan Lewis. Macklemore holds nothing back; his flow is precise, and the low bass kick coupled with horns that appear halfway through propel it further. Clearly, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis don't delay gratification.
"Thrift Shop" is even catchier. Layering unconventional vocal samples over some of the funkiest saxophone this side of the '70s, Macklemore takes a subject so ordinary and mundane and turns it into a swaggering proclamation of frugality. Of the fifteen tracks on the album, this one is most likely to be heard from the sidewalks on Saturday nights (and send kids of every economic strata bargain hunting on Sundays).
"Same Love," which after three party-friendly tracks is likely to hit listeners like a ton of bricks. As much as diehard fans will defend Macklemore's originality, it's not difficult to find similarities and influences in the music world. But they'd be hard pressed to find a rapper who has hit the mainstream so forcefully with a message of marriage equality. Eloquent, straightforward and disarming, Macklemore gives a remarkable social commentary, confronting stereotypes and the negative portrayal of homosexuality in rap with a calm but knockout delivery. In stark contrast, he does this over some of the most basic instrumentation on the album (a single piano and barely-there drumbeat)while Seattle singer Mary Lambert provides the hook.
Between the faux-alligator leather, gold-lettered album cover and the thought-provoking introspection of their songs, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis present a confusing duo — maybe intentionally. In a scene of auto-tuning and tired subject matter, perhaps the rap world needs a shock to the system. In the triumphant and humble "Starting Over," Macklemore reflects on sobriety and relapse, hoping to provide, as he raps, "an example of starting over." Although they are just getting started, maybe Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are the example raps needs.

Don't Give Up
Sure, imagine the Josh Groban song wailing at full volume if you'd like, but the sentiment holds true.
In so many areas, not just in writing, we meet temporary failure, frustrations, and setbacks on a daily basis, and sometimes they can build up to the point they seem overwhelming. Sometimes they can even be overwhelming. And it's unbelievably tempting, when it hits that sunken road, to just say screw it. Let it go. I give up.
Don't ever, ever give up.
(Unless your goal is to become a serial killer, in which case my advice is: GIVE UP AND GET HELP)
I'm not saying you can't feel frustrated. We're all there. When things aren't going your way, when your goals are consistently stymied, when you want nothing more than to call your friends and have them come over with ice cream/liquor/bad movies/all of the above…that's okay. Go for it! Ride the frustration, accept it for what it is, allow yourself to wallow in it for a few hours.
Then get up and get back to what you were doing.
And see how you can do it better.
Of course, it isn't always that easy. Sometimes the answer isn't necessarily improvement, but persistence and patience. Patience. Sucks. We all know that. We're all there. None of us have to like it, but it can be a necessity. Sometimes, no matter the rejections, we just have to keep going.
My mother's in the job market right now, and she's had some amazing interviews, only to be told again and again that she was the second choice. When people make jokes about second place winner being first place loser, they aren't entirely joking (unless they were the first place person, in which case they're just being an ass hat). Being in that place, of being good and qualified and exceptional but still not getting the job, is one of the worst places in the world, because it seems like the entire world is conspiring to tell you: You're just not good enough. You're unworthy. You might as well give up.
And tonight after our weekly family dinner, my mom turned to me and said that she finally understood a bit more of what it means to be a writer trying to get published; she recognized now the courage it takes to gather everything up and funnel it into a query letter and send it out, hoping against hope that someone- anyone- will want to bite. And she understood better what it feels like when you do get that bite, but the fish ends up slipping the line.
And I told my mom the same thing she's been telling me my whole life: don't give up. Keep trying, keep working, keep dreaming, keep doing. Keep on keepin' on.
Now I'm saying it to you. Whatever your struggle or obstacle, whatever your goal, whatever the forces and actions dragging you down, DON'T GIVE UP. Not every dream comes true, but that shouldn't ever mean that you stop trying or that you stop working. Belt out Josh Groban if you have to- he'd probably love it- but do whatever you have to do to inspire yourself to take that next step. It doesn't matter if it's slow, and it's okay if it's painful.
As long as it keeps going.
Until next time~

Cordoba Weather
Cordoba weather is known for being very good on the whole. Found in the southern part of Spain, the city enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate, and on most days, the sun is shining. This helps to make the decision of when to go a relatively easy one.
Summer: Summer isn't generally considered to be the best time to travel to Cordoba Spain, as this is when the city is at its hottest. Temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit are common during the months of July and August in particular, and the average daytime temps hover around 90 degrees. It's no coincidence that siesta coincides with the very hottest time of the day. All this being said, the beaches of the Costa del Sol are only about an hour's drive away, and Lake Iznajar is even closer. This lake has its own beach, and it's also where you will find the majority of the Cordoba villa rentals. Rain is very rare in the summer, and it does cool down a bit at night.
Fall: Fall is one of the best times to travel to Cordoba Spain for a number of reasons. The two main ones are the excellent weather and the relative lack of crowds. October arguably boasts the best weather of all the fall months, as the summer heat has waned, though it's not exactly chilly either. Activities such as hiking and biking, which can be done at the area parks, are especially enjoyable during the fall season, and thanks to the comfortable weather, city walking tours can also be ideal.
Winter: Winter can be a great time to travel to Cordoba, as long as you don't mind the cooler and wetter weather. It rains about one out of every three days in Cordoba during the winter season, and the temperatures can drop down into the 50s and even the 40s on some occasions, though it is often quite warm and sunny. Since many Cordoba buildings don't have central heating, warm clothes should be packed when visiting in the winter. Snow is very rare throughout the region, except in the high mountains. You can go skiing or snowboarding near Cordoba in the winter.
Spring: Spring is widely considered to be the best time to visit Cordoba Spain. Much like fall, the weather is idyllic, with daytime highs ranging from the upper 60s to lower 80s. The temperatures rise the closer you get to summer. May in particular is arguably the very best time to travel to Cordoba Spain, as the average temperature of 61 degrees basically ensures warm days and cool nights. Also helping to make May such a great time to visit is the fact that this month is when many of the best Cordoba festivals take place. Hotel rooms can go fast around festival time, though generally speaking, the spring crowds aren't too bad on average.

Find: Fondly, to my fellow maladroits...
I assure you that for all my bumps, bruises, trips, cuts and scrapes, I should probably take out stock in Charles & Marie to offset how much I could spend on these cuties. Despite that, I think these would come in handy when you get a papercut on your pointer finger, five minutes before your big prezo.

SURREY, it's where I grew up, where I went to school and art college, and where I still choose to call home.
I'm a Surrey wedding photographer. I shoot all over the UK, but the familiarity I have with Surrey always makes the weddings I shoot in my home county very special. It also helps that I have a really good rapport with some of Surrey's best wedding venues including Northbrook Park, Ramster Hall and Gate Street Barn. No matter how well I know a venue I always give the option of meeting new couples at their venue before the big day. I think it's so important not to take anything for granted and take the time to find out what made you fall in love with the venue you've chosen.
As a Surrey wedding photographer, getting the balance between the formal elements and the excitement of the day is crucial. My discreet reportage approach to shooting weddings ensures that you will have a genuine record of the day that stands the test of time. I deliver both cherished moments and editorial details that give your pictures a sense of place, whichever of Surrey's amazing venues you choose as the backdrop to your wedding.

Well all know the cliché tests for sales people...
All of these tests are done to see how a potential sales person can think on their feet, and realistically bull shit their way through a meeting.
Is that really the traits you want in a sales person representing your organization?
For me the answer was simple, NO!
I need sales people who have an extremely creative business mind that come with solutions so far out of the box that it forces our client to look at their business in a new way.
So how do you test your potential sales people for business creativity? Simple make them do it on the spot in your next interview with a real life business case.
This "test" has shown me more about a candidate that any other vetting practice I have tried.
Some of the specific items I have discovered it shows me are:
For me the hardest part of hiring a sales person for me is getting beyond their ability to sell me on them, and get to their real abilities to help companies solve their needs. This test will help you weed through the fakes, and find those people who have that creative spark to help our client's achieve the success we all want.

Roy Blatchford argues that the profession can no longer afford to waste precious resources on advertising for teachers and school leaders.

What do these names have in common? Legal firms from the novels of Charles Dickens? A cluster of Cotswold villages? Authors of chemistry textbooks?
They are the names of successful headhunting firms, specialising in education and the recruitment of senior leaders for leading state, independent and international schools. As you might guess, their businesses thrive. And it doesn't come cheap to secure a top Principal.
Away from the headhunting arena, secondary headteacher colleagues estimate that their schools can spend in excess of £70k per annum on recruiting teachers. Primary leaders suggest the annual figure, in many areas of high teacher turn-over, is £30k plus.
The Times Education Supplement has enjoyed a near monopoly over many decades. One local authority recently estimated that 93% of adverts for teaching posts in its schools featured in the TES. National and local newspapers across the country have shared in the flow of advertising revenue. Almost none of this financial bonanza has found its way back into classrooms.
Nor have most of the profits of the many teaching agencies which now operate across the country. Typically, a school might pay to an agency 25% of a first year of salary. In common with the NHS, the national education service risks being bled dry by agents' fees which divert increasingly scant resources away from the classroom.
Devotees of 'Winnie The Pooh' will know of Edward Bear's predicament:
Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it. And then he feels perhaps there isn't.
The teaching profession has been supine for too long. Profligate spending on recruitment has to end. The school system must challenge the status quo, albeit belatedly. Current budget tightening should surely lead us to find different solutions. I have a few, not mutually exclusive suggestions.
1. Agents
Working with a group of deputy heads a couple of years ago discussing professional steps to headship, one entrepreneurial deputy told us that he and a colleague had set up a recruitment agency, with most of the profits channelled back into a partnership of schools. He also predicted that, over time and in common with professional football, every teacher would have an agent – and that schools would be paying those agents when teachers transferred between schools. Perhaps. Could school partnerships and MATs establish agencies and teacher-agents whose profits are reinvested in the school system?
2. Social media
Disruptive technologies disrupt. There is a strong argument that the 'digital native' generation of teachers and school leaders can lead the way in ensuring that various forms of social media provide the 'go to' sources for on-line recruitment, cutting out the middle men. This would need co-ordinating, safeguards and due diligence. Perhaps Facebook guru and self-professing altruist Mark Zuckerberg, with his recent global community manifesto, might be tapped up to sponsor. Seriously, there may well be an interested social entrepreneur who could run with the idea.
3. Professional Associations
Whilst professional association and union leaders over the years have talked in my presence about cost-saving initiatives on recruitment, they have to date been sluggish on this agenda. Perhaps new leadership at ASCL, combining forces with NAHT, could stake out a real intent to provide free on-line adverts for all primary, special and secondary leadership positions across England. Their website infrastructures already exist. And in parallel, the newly merged NUT/ATL could do the same for all teaching positions. What a long overdue gift the savings would be to members wrestling with tightening budgets.
4. Department for Education
Whilst once local authorities did much to support teacher recruitment, those days are gone. Might the DfE step in? Is it impossible to imagine a centrally funded and run on-line service, given every teacher in the land is registered by the Department to teach? There might indeed be added value in government being able to identify more readily where geographically, and in what subjects, teacher shortages are emerging. Or where in the country there are difficulties in securing strong middle or senior leaders. Decentralisation has been the mantra for several decades now, but this might just be one area of the school system where a central lead would be welcomed.
5. Charitable foundations
Look carefully in their small print and you'll find that Oxford University Press (OUP) is a charity, making handsome profits from schools. Might the Masters and Scholars of the Ancient University step forward and carry, free of charge to schools, primary teaching vacancies on OUP's well established website, currently frequented by thousands of teachers? Could the respected Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), National Foundation for Education Research (NFER) or Education Development Trust (formerly CfBT) devote some of their resources to subsidise on-line recruitment of school leaders? Other educational publishers or charitable foundations may be willing and equipped to take on such an initiative.
Across the kingdom, schools individually, in primary-secondary clusters, in MATs, in all kinds of partnership and alliances are engaged in a wide range of 'grow your own' strategies to bring on the next generation of teachers and leaders. That's as it should be. But there are few schools this interview season which are not having to pay over precious funds to a profit-making company in order to be fully staffed for September.
Resources are precious and becoming ever more so. We need to do things differently. There must be an adventurer or two out there who can make this happen. It would be financially transformational for schools.

(HealthDay News) -- Your body image describes your appearance and the way you see yourself.
This isn't a superficial concept, warns Planned Parenthood. The group says a negative body image, if severe enough, can:
- Increase your risk of depression and anxiety.
- Trigger feelings of low self-esteem.
- Make it difficult for you to concentrate.
- Lead you to engage in risky behavior.
- Lead to social isolation.
- Spawn mental health issues, such as an eating disorder.
- Lead you to avoid a healthy lifestyle, including eating a healthy diet and getting enough exercise.

the other day at the food store i picked up a package of 80 soft corn tortillas for $2.00 – what a DEAL right?! i even asked the guy stocking the shelves if it was a mistake. why are they so inexpensive compared to flour tortillas?!
thankfully they have quite a long shelf life when they're kept in the fridge, but i knew i needed to get a little bit more crafty than using them solely for fajita night…
the lightbulb went off when i saw this recipe online – why had i never thought to make my OWN hard taco shells? i'd always been buying them at the store, then disappointed when they break in half after the first bite is taken
these ones on the other hand are hard but do have some give when you bite into them, so they don't crumble in your hands, and totally customizable, flavor-wise!
soft corn tortillas
cooking spray (olive oil, canola, PAM, etc)
Preheat oven to 375*.
Wrap (4-6 at a time) tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds.
Spray both sides of tortilla with cooking spray and sprinkle with your choices of salt, chili pepper, herbs, etc.
Carefully drape tortillas over one or two (for wider shells) rungs on your oven rack, make sure to place a cookie sheet on the next rack down in case anything drips off.
Cook for 7-10 minutes (check often for done-ness).
Remove from rack and fill with your taco fixins!

Chris and Jane Henderson first met when they were living in the UK. But it wasn't until Chris landed a job in the Australian outback years later that their paths crossed once again.
Employed in the rural town of White Cliffs, Chris invited Jane to come and stay in the underground motel where he lived and worked. Blown away by the suburb's simplicity and friendly locals, Jane is still there more than seven years later.
Together, the pair are raising their daughter, Ellie, in their underground home - a converted mine shaft also known as a dugout - which set the couple back just $75,000.
With the next town more than 300 kilometres away, White Cliffs is home to just a few local amenities, including a pub, a primary school and a general store, as well as the underground motel.
'People often ask what we do for fun,' Jane said. 'But the truth is, there's so much going on.' On weekends, Chris loves having a barbecue with his mates, while I catch up with friends at the local pool.
While Jane admits living undergrond may not be for everyone, she says she wouldn't change it for the world.
You can find the rest of Jane's story in Issue 2 of That's Life!

"It is also important to keep a low profile when you're moving through dangerous areas where kidnapping risks are high. Try to find vehicles with tinted windows.

Argentina omit Aguero, Di Maria as Messi starts ban
Sergio Aguero and Angel Di Maria have been left out of Argentina's squad for the upcoming international friendlies against Chile and Mexico as Lionel Messi begins his international suspension.
Argentina captain Messi is unavailable for selection as he serves a three-month ban from international football for criticising South America's football governing body CONMEBOL during the Copa America. Messi missed Barcelona's La Liga opener, a 1-0 defeat at Athletic Bilbao on Friday, with a calf injury.
Aguero, who helped Argentina finish third in the 2019 Copa America, has scored in Manchester City's opening two league games but has been overlooked, while Paris Saint-Germain winger Di Maria is another veteran who manager Lionel Scaloni has omitted as he opted for an attacking line dominated by Serie A-based players for the games in Los Angeles against Chile on Sept. 5 and Mexico in San Antonio five days later.
Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez, Juventus' Paulo Dybala and Joaquin Correa of Lazio have all been named in the 27-man squad which includes seven uncapped players.
There was a recall for Manchester United centre-back Marcos Rojo, who last featured for Argentina in their defeat to France in the 2018 World Cup round of 16, despite a lack of playing time.
Argentina are also deprived of Tottenham defender Juan Foyth, who has been sidelined since July with an ankle problem.
Scaloni has named 10 local-based players in the roster, five of which are uncapped. Among them is midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, who joined Boca Juniors on a season-long loan from Brighton and Hove Albion earlier this summer.
Former Boca Juniors centre-back Leonardo Balerdi, now at Borussia Dortmund, has also received his first call up.
Argentina full squad:
Goalkeepers: Franco Armani (River), Esteban Andrada (Boca) y Agustin Marchesin (FC Porto).
Defenders: Nicolas Otamendi (Manchester City), German Pezzella (Fiorentina), Leonardo Balerdi (Borussia Dortmund), Marcos Rojo (Manchester United), Lucas Martinez Quarta (River), Gonzalo Montiel (River), Nicolas Figal (Independiente), Nicolas Tagliafico (Ajax).
Midfielders: Marcos Acuna (Sporting Lisbon), Leandro Paredes (PSG), Guido Rodriguez (America), Giovani Lo Celso (Tottenham), Nicolas Dominguez (Velez), Rodrigo De Paul (Udinese), Exequiel Palacios (River), Matias Zaracho (Racing), Roberto Pereyra (Watford), Lucas Ocampos (Sevilla), Manuel Lanzini (West Ham), Alexis Mac Allister (Boca).
Forwards: Joaquin Correa (Lazio), Lautaro Martinez (Inter), Paulo Dybala (Juventus), Adolfo Gaich (San Lorenzo).

Joining the electoral roll is an important way of confirming your commitment to St Martin's community and to the vision of the church. But it also opens up the way for greater involvement in the life of the Church of England, at Deanery, Diocesan and national levels. By joining, you become entitled to participate in the governance of the church and to vote at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM), where the elections take place for:
· the parochial church council
· the parish's representatives on the deanery synod.
Any person entitled to attend the APCM may raise any question of parochial or general church interest.
Joining the roll is an important statement of witness and a step along the path of discipleship. With your name on the electoral roll, the strength of the Church can be seen in our local area, and across the Diocese. If you're a regular at St Martin's, you should be on the electoral roll!
It is St Martin's register of electors. In the same way that being on the civic Electoral Roll allows you to vote in parliamentary and local elections and referenda, joining the Church Electoral Roll means that you can vote on Church matters, attend the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) and stand for election to the Parochial Church Council (PCC).
Being on the Electoral Roll does NOT make you a "member" of the Church; simply regarding St Martin's as your spiritual home does that. Indeed, a condition of joining the Roll is that you are already a "member" of a Church! However it is an important way of confirming your commitment to St Martin's community and to the vision of the church.
In addition the Electoral Roll is used to help with pastoral care in the church.
· The maximum number of PCC members.
· Representation on the governing bodies of the Church (PCC, Walsall Deanery Synod, Lichfield Diocesan and General Synod).
The Church of England is governed by a synodical system which joins with the Bishops to make decisions. Being on the Electoral Roll is the entry point and Christians share an individual responsibility to be part of the "Body of Christ" and to participate fully in our part of His Church. This system is intended to enable church people at every level to be in touch with the Church as a whole and to play their part in decision making. Also, the system is intended to ensure that the laity have their place in every aspect of church life, including doctrine and services.
You can of course be a full and active member of St Martin's Church without joining the Roll. Being on the Electoral Roll does not entail signing up to any additional commitments. However, it does show commitment to St Martin's.
· Stand for election to the PCC or other synodical council (such as the Deanery, Diocesan or General Synod)
· Stand as an officer of the church (Warden, Treasurer, etc)
· Attend the APCM and participate in votes
To apply for the Electoral Roll you must meet ALL the following conditions:
You must be aged 16 or over
You must be a member of the Church of England and EITHER live in the parish OR have attended a church in the parish regularly for at least 6 months.
Be a member in good standing of a Church (not in communion with the Church of England) which subscribes to the doctrine of the Holy Trinity and to have habitually attended public worship in St Martin's during the period of six months prior to enrolment.
NOTE: you can be on the Electoral Roll of more than one Church, but you can only serve on the PCC of one Church at a time.
Application forms can be found in church.
If your details have changed (for example you have moved home), please inform the Electoral Roll Officer Martin King – email to the Churc Administrator via our Contact Us page.

I hope you like it.
I used the fabulous new April kit from Scraps of Elegance 'Flutter' for this page.
I so appreciate the all the messages you left me there for my first post!

Andrew Horne is the head honcho at Specialist Subject Records, based in Exeter, probably the most consistently good UK-based punk rock record label. Particularly over the last 12 months. Awesome releases from Bangers, Shit Present and Great Cynics stand out in 2015, but I'm pretty sure they have all been good. It is one of those labels where I always keep my eyes peeled for the next releases they have planned (FYI, I believe it's a new album from Muncie Girls coming up next). If you don't know this label at all, they have put a free downloadable compilation of the 2015 releases online to give you a taster (link at the bottom of the page).
Andrew is also bassist/vocalist in Bangers, that modern punk rock institution who never disappoint. They just released their new album Bird, which definitely demonstrates an experimental progression, but is also still definitely a Bangers album. Probably my favourite current UK-based punk band.
I chatted to Andrew about both of these things. Enjoy.
Talk us through a brief history of Specialist Subject Records! How did you form?
It properly started around 2009, I'd just finished working at a classical label in Cornwall which taught me a bunch and we needed a platform for self releasing some Bangers records and records by a few friends (like Caves and The Arteries). It's just slowly progressed from then on.
What made you want to run an independent punk rock record label?
I never really set out to run a real record label, in the early years it was just something I did to help out friends whose music I liked. There weren't many active labels at the time that would have been interested so I was just trying to do my bit, I didn't really have a plan. But as things went on the label got busier, I started doing more releases, setting the sights a bit higher each time, it's just grown in to what it is now, which I think is somewhere near a "real record label".
How did you find setting up Specialist Subject Records initially? Were there any particular challenges in the early days?
I wouldn't say there were too many challenges early on, I'd learnt enough from working at a label and doing various self released projects before to know the basics and working with friends expectations were realistic. It was just fun really, I was touring a lot, playing music a lot and it was just an exciting time. Things have got more challenging as time's gone on I think!
Specialist Subject records is based in Exeter. What are the links between the record label and the punk scene in the South-West? How has being based there impacted on SS?
Well I grew up not too far from here in North / East Cornwall, and used to go to gigs and play in bands in Plymouth and Exeter so I've known and had some involvement in the music scene round here for a while. The first release for the label came out when I was living in Leeds, the next few when I was living in Falmouth and then spent a couple of years in Birmingham before moving back to the South West a few years ago. So the label's never really been defined by its location
Since being in Exeter the past few years we have been releasing more things by bands from round here though and it's cool. We've got an office right in the centre of the city and we get to see people from Muncie Girls, Shit Present, Great Cynics, The Fairweather Band on pretty much a daily basis and it's a really nice way to work with bands, when it's not an email based relationship.
What do you make of the punk scene in general in the UK right now?
The punk scene's as good as ever, I think it's always been consistent, just depends what you're into. At certain times trends shift and different sub genres get more attention than others but there are always other bands if you don't like what's 'in'!
I turned 30 this year so 2015's punk scene probably isn't going to be a definitive time in music for me personally but I'm still regularly finding new UK bands that really excite me. I guess when I don't then it's time to call it a day!
As an independent label selling cassettes and vinyl, how do you find the state of the record industry at the moment? How long do you think the vinyl revival will last?
Hard question, the state of the music industry is one of constant flux, the goal posts are constantly moving and no one really knows what the fuck's going to happen. Really all physical formats are "unnecessary" but that doesn't mean that people aren't still buying them. What we're really talking about is a piece of art so if seeing, touching, reading lyrics and liner notes as well as listening to an album improves the experience for people then people will continue to buy physical products. How long that will last though is anyone's guess.
To be honest I hope the 'vinyl revival' doesn't last, it's getting pretty tedious. For punk rock (and dance music / hip hop) vinyl never went anywhere, when the mainstream music industry turned its back on the format small independent punk rock and indie labels never did. So to have a situation now where pressing plants (which may well have shut down in the quieter years if it weren't for those punk releases?) are backed up with major label represses and needless Record Store Day Releases, with small punk labels getting pushed to the back of the queue, absolutely sucks.
Many bands and labels have already moved to cassettes as a cheap and quick alternative to vinyl as it's getting more and more difficult to press records. Hopefully when the vinyl bubble does burst it isn't too late that small labels have all moved on out of necessity.
How has 2015 treated Specialist Subject?
2015 has been nuts, by far the busiest year we've ever had and I'm super proud of every release we've done (I was going to list some but you could just listen to this sampler we did: https://specialistsubject.bandcamp.com/album/specialist-subject-records-2015). It's been pretty stressful at times but it's a constant learning process, as with any growing endeavour we're constantly trying to do things we've never done before, so hopefully this year we've learnt some lessons for the future or maybe they won't even be relevant for next year's challenges!
How successful has the Subscription Service been?
The subscription service (or Season Ticket as we're calling it – I thought it sounded more British) has been great, when we decided to try it at the end of last year I had no idea if anyone would sign up for it and we put it together on the basis that if 5 people signed up we could pull it off. In the end we had 30 people sign up, which surpassed all my expectations and financially it's a huge help for the label. It wasn't actually that hard to stay on top of either, I think all the releases went out on time (Kay's very organised, not sure I could pull it off without her!), and it seems like people really enjoyed it.
We've already had more people sign up for next year and we haven't even announced much of what we're going to be putting out yet, so it's super humbling for people to have that much faith in us!
What does the future hold for Specialist Subject? What are the plans for next year?
Now that we've decided to run the Season Ticket again next year means at least another 10 releases! I was kind of scared about that for a minute but we've actually got a really good few releases lined up already. The Muncie Girls album is coming out in March which is super exciting, they're planning to tour loads next year and getting a bunch of good attention from press so it should be a good year for them hopefully.
Ok, a few questions about Bangers now and the new record. You just released your fourth LP Bird earlier this year. How do you feel the album turned out?
It's actually our third, or maybe fifth depending on how you define it, sorry we're annoying! I'm super proud of how Bird turned out, I honestly think it's our best record yet.
How was the recording process?
I really enjoyed the recording it, we've never really been to a real studio before all the other records were done on the cheap in various sketchy situations with the help from talented friends (like Oli Wood from Above Them) to make it sound okay.
But this time round we thought we'd try something new so booked into Greenmount in Leeds for a week and it was great, the guys that work there, Jamie and Lee totally got what we were after from the very start and nailed it! It was great to go in and focus on it completely while we were there and come out with a finished record a week later.
How do you think Bangers have developed over the last few years? I have developed noticed a musical and lyrical progression in the last album or two, particularly on songs such as "I Don't Feel Like I'll Ever be Clean" or "Trousers of Time".
We've definitely developed, I'm not sure exactly how, I think as time goes on we've become more aware that we can do different things and because it's still us, it's still the same instrumentation, even the ideas we think are a bit too far out there still end up sounding recognisable as Bangers.
And I guess it's just different influences creeping is as we get older, none of us really listen to the kind of music that we did when we started the band or any gruff / punk rock / org punk bands that we get associated with so I think it's different influences creeping their way into what we've previously defined as our sound.
I also wanted to ask you about the Mysterious Ways 12", which came out this year. You recorded the whole thing in 48 hours. What is the story behind that? How did the idea come about?
It's basically a dumb idea we had on a long drive, we have lots of those that never come to fruition but this one did. We were about half way through writing Bird and we were basically discussing getting together for a weekend with some recording gear and trying to write another 8-10 songs as an experiment, see what came out and then salvage what we could to use on the album. Then that somehow turned into actually releasing what we came up with no matter what!
I'm really proud of how it turned out and I really think it helped with writing the rest of Bird, for the previous album Crazy Fucking Dreams I think at times we overthought things and doing Mysterious Ways just kind of reaffirmed that sometimes it is cool to just do the more obvious thing or the first idea that pops into your head.
Ok, final question. I won't be mean and include things you released yourself, but what is your favourite non-Specialist Subject records release of 2015?
I was thinking about this the other day and I thought it would be hard to pick one record, then I looked at my Spotify your 2015 in music thing and there's one band that I've listened to over 1000 songs by this year so I think that's does it.
Tenement – Predatory Headlights
It's so rare to hear a band pull off something original that still sits within the realm of punk music and a 25 song, 80 minute, double album would be a risky move for most bands but I totally love every second of it. Some of the best 3 minute pop songs, with added strings, jazz parts, even a 9 minute percussion interlude. Loved everything that they've done before but this record is even better than I'd hoped it'd be.

Success in life is not truly measured in just achieving a goal, it is in the daily push you make to take the small steps closer and closer to your goal. Without question this a tedious process, and the daily grind and setbacks is one of the major reasons small detours can become permanent stopping places for those working towards success. In order to get back on track or light a fire to make you run, not walk, towards the future you feel destined for it is good to seek out those whose moving works and uplifting spirits can remind you of the prize and the sacrifices you must make to get there. One of the most vibrant voices in this spirit is Hip Hop Preacher Eric Thomas with his inspiring message to push towards your dreams and to not accept no as an answer.
I had an opportunity to feel the powerful message myself in Eric Thomas's private engagement at the Universal Elite Aerospace program. The Universal Elite Aerospace program is in itself a wonderful source of inspiration geared towards educating and stimulating on a career in Aviation. Coordinating an event with Eric Thomas is so powerful because it is a great reminder that no matter how good our personal present is, it will can all dwindle away without making the necessary investment into our future…the youth. Its founder, Kenneth Morris, is a living demonstration of what personal motivation paired with powerful inspiration can achieve.
As Eric Thomas walked in the room the excited and energy of the room became electric. Each person who was a fan of him from his website or social media presence realized the distinct difference in listening to a great speaker and listening to them in a room of likeminded individuals ready to make changes in their lives and their perspectives. Eric Thomas, like most great speakers, carries such a punch not in the words he says but the strength and experiences that have made him the man he is and developed the message he was set to deliver. As he shared his struggles and made the connection to the life stories of the various listeners in the room four universal reminders became clear:
- Be courageous enough to start your own: With the world waiting to peg us into a predetermined assumption of who we are and how far we will go, it is important to remember that the only person who can truly decide this outcome is us. In choosing your future you don't have to accept what the society and fate the world gives you.
- Read books, get connected with history: With the internet and TV making so much information available it easy to confuse what you read and hear with the truth. By investing time into reading, history and autobiographies you get an intimate glimpse into how others faced and conquered defeat.
- Excel at everything you do: In facing the continuous test life throws at you, the possibility for victory in the war come daily. The ultimate war is won with a commitment to do your best, with or without others watching or recognition. The formula is simple: first you find out what the expectations are, then you meet the expectations and then you beat the expectations. There is no better preparation for your biggest challenges in life than this daily commitment. With making a daily decision to be phenomenal in all you do you ensure you will be forgotten.
- Know your why: All the hard work and dedication to reach your dreams there has to be a basic connection to the why that motivates you to press on. Whether it is your family or community or heritage having a connection to why you work so hard to preserver will be the life persevere when life becomes overwhelming and threats and early defeat.
In all it was a great event that lit a fire under my goals to put in the work to make them become a reality! Check out Eric Thomas and get in on the success movement today.

February 1st and -4 C at Gullringstorp
A morning with sunshine and frost, rock hard ground and -4 c. It was a beautiful morning, crisp and clear. A perfect day for all our goats to go out:
Once the boys have settled in , we brought out the girls:
It was the first time in the boy's enclosure for 3 of our little bucklings, Phillip, Winston and Pip. Leif always puts the tiny noses to the electric fence. I just can't do it although I know it's a real necessity. Every new buckling or doeling must go through this in order to stay safe inside the fenced enclosure. This way we can leave and be assured that no one will be wandering around one of the adjacent fields. They stay put because they have experienced an unpleasant shock, at least once.
Here Leif makes sure that Phillip, Winston and Pip learn as all the others have before them:
It was a great day for the hens and roosters come out and play. They were so happy :
It was a great day for all the animals here at Gullringstorp. Our goats were able to be out till 4 pm when it started to get dark. Some goat owners leave their goats out overnight , even during the winter months. It is supposed to be healthy for them. I have West African goats and the cold is not so fun for them, even with their thick winter coats. Maybe I am a bit protective also; I worry about animals getting to them in the enclosure or in their outdoor shelter. As the sun goes down, they are all ready to come in to their warm (relatively warm) stable and their cozy beds of straw. I can make my walk back to the house knowing all my goats and hens and roosters are safe inside their homes. I could have it no other way.

The dogs trotted by as if nothing were amiss, but it bristled their fur to see a stray human out alone, without a leash. There were laws against that sort of thing. Humans had repeatedly shown themselves to be the most irrational and volatile creature on the planet. At any moment it might pick up the potted plant and hurl it against the building. Or turn on them screaming and kicking, for no apparent reason! Not even the wisest canine scientists were able to explain these unprovoked outbursts. Therefore the dogs remained nonchalant, exercised no sudden moves that might intrude on the creature's precarious mental equilibrium, and got the hell out of there. It had been a mistake to import the humans to the planet, but the damage had been done, indeed, was only just beginning. Once a male and female of the species got together all the barking in the world couldn't separate them. So each year there were more and more of the creatures walking around, and what was worse, they didn't even taste good.
Story #199
You all have been so great about contributing I wanted to start giving prizes, maybe once a month. So I'll start retroactively, write each poster's name on a slip of paper, one paper per story, and pick one at random. So anyone who contributed stories in February or March, one of you is going to win something. I'll announce the winner on Monday, and what they've won. There will also be prize for April, once the month ends.
Announcing the winner of the random drawing of all contributers: M.P. of Portugal! The prize is a black and white enlargement of one of my own photos, and a story to go with it. Sorry it couldn't be anything valuable.
Later today I'll move these stories to the companion blog: indeterminacies.blogspot.com. Anyone still wishing to post their version, please do so!

Buster knew a hot bitch when he saw one. "Look her there," he thought to himself, "how she's just standing there trying to get me to catch her scent. That little minx! She wants me!" Englantina was unaware that she was being so provocative, but figured it out quick enough when Buster yipped a seductive greeting to her. She wasn't into big strong males, and she was afraid that he'd pursue her doggedly. But she thought quickly and came up with a gambit to save her virtue. Instead of running away up the sidewalk as she was prone to do, she walked quickly to her right, toward Sunshine. Sunny was more his size and speed, and it was clear from this angle that she had what Buster really sought in a dame. Buster's tone changed as his simple interests shifted subject, and Tina was able to prance off to her left out of the way unnoticed as Buster moved in to sniff Sunny. Tina was successful in her ruse, and left to take a shih-tzu friend of hers out for dinner.

"Holidays in Greece! Ah, nothing can be compared to the hot sun, the splendid beaches and the beautiful women." Thats what Flaffy
thought, the brown little dog from London, when he saw a greek beauty passing by. He was there with his "boss", Amanda the psychic,
who owned him and several dogs as well. Her aim was to research into the non-verbal communication between humans and animals, and
living with them had proved to be a rewarding experience. Her supernatural abilities though, had gifted her more enemies
than friends and, almost chased by the media, she had managed to escape in a tiny greek island. "None will ever imagine to look for
me in this God-forsaken place." Or so she had thought before living for Greece. Without even turning around to look at him, Amanda read
Flaffy's thoughts and exclaimed: "Now let that poor animal go Flaffy! We did not come here for fun, we have bussiness to do!" But
Flaffy did not seem to listen to her, especially now that a local guy, almost half of his size but extremely confident as it seemed,
had started to dangerously approach the white beauty. Lazarus, like any other normal dog, telepathetically felt Flaffy's intentions
and turned around, ready to engage in a deadly battle! "Now come over here, if you dare! You, english nerd!" Lazarus, challenged him.
"whom do you call nerd? You, silly greek dwarf!" Replied Flaffy. What followed was an ugly fight between the two dogs, biting and hitting
each other, bleeding and endlessly barking. Then suddenly they stopped. Perplexed, taken aback with surpize and unable to say word, both
dogs stopped and stared at the dramatic scene that unfolded before their eyes. A car had just passed by and took with it forever the beauty
of the white animal for which both had fought with so much passion. "Everything is temporary in this world Flaffy." Amanda whispered to
him. "A big fuss over nothing. Now we have important work to do. "

Peanuts is no astray dog.
He belongs to a U-class "milieu",has his own comfortable cushion to sleep on, special dog food, gets a bath every week ( although he hates that!) has to cope with a private vet every now and then, has U-class female companions and so on and so forth. All that a dog of his social class is thought to have...
Peanuts has his complaints to make though. He's never been happy with the places he's taken to and worse than that he's usually taken out on the lead!
This time there's a whole new excitement! He managed to escape through the front gate of his mansion garden and there he is joined to his very plebeian friends on an aimless wander through the many city-centre streets which happened to be loaded with thousands of legs, the right ones for ... a good pee.

Fuzzy of the frenetic filaments found Frou-Frou felicitously at the finitum of the fifi (formerly fe-fe) followers. Fuzzy fervently fantasized about fucking Frou-Frou. Photons reflected from Frou-Frou's fur fired his philandering. Frou-Frou's pheromones were forcing him to fornicate. He followed her, defying Fiona, who forbade it.
Fiona focussed on them, confused by Fuzzy's fecklessness. Finally she figured she'd inform family and friends that Fido was unfaithful because he forgot Frou-Frou was flatulent, infected with fungus, and infested with fleas.

How to get unlimited McDonalds Fries
Are you as much of a McDonalds fan as I am? If so then you might feel that large or even super size fries just aren't enough to satisfy your needs. Well that's fine, because McDonalds have announced that somewhere in the not so distant future, there will be a McDonalds serving UNLIMITED bottomless fries.
And the fun doesn't end there, customers will also be able to enjoy table service AND have the option to create their own customised burger.
McDonalds is referring to it as their 'McDonalds of the Future' and will be opening in Missouri in America as soon as July, with the hopes to then roll it out into the UK.
I think this may be the best new McDonalds lovers will hear all day, however, health campaigners will no doubt have a different view on things since the government are currently trying their best to tackle childhood obesity.
McDonalds have tweeted saying: 'Fries on fries on fries! We will see you at our McDonald's of the Future in July!'
So what do you think? Is this an amazing idea or a health issue waiting to happen.

The Day is coming and it's coming quickly. If you want to grow in the Lord, if you freely admit the need to come up higher and become more Christlike – then you must be brutally Honest with yourself right now, in what I'm about to ask. As a Prophet, I don't have everything for you, no Minister does. I only have some things, but what I have for you is Essential. You need Everything the Lord has for you through any true Minister you're connected to, in any way. Everything. From the Apostle and Prophet just as you do from the Evangelist, the Pastor and the Teacher. You need all of what each Office of ministry has for you, we all do. You don't get to choose them like flavors, they work together like a Body. You're either connected to them, or you're not. And it's no accident that you get the Word from those who are connected to you.
So here's the question. Are you ready for Jesus to come right now – this second. I mean are you really ready. Are you. He's coming just like that. If there is any hesitation or a slight panic you sense deep within yourself as you consider it – that's in the Bible! It's what the Bible calls drawing back. You may even be getting ready for Him, but He's not coming for those who are Getting Ready. That hesitation is the very thing that would cause you to Draw Back. Which does not please the Lord, and would be bad for you. If the reality of the question shocks any, or you're still in shock – you're not even Getting ready for Him to come back. If that's the case you need to repent. Right now. Because listen to me friend, the 2 main events in All of Scripture – are His 1st Coming and His 2nd Coming. One happened 2000 years ago, the other is right at the door. I mean moments away, and no I'm not exaggerating. I'm simply speaking the language of the Bible.
The return of Jesus Christ to the earth will not be as Savior, it will be as King. If He is not your King right now, then you are not one of those He's coming back for. He came as Savior already, and you don't get to make Him your King when He gets here. We've had plenty of time. Plenty. If more time would have helped the Lord would have given it. Length of time given is not the problem – the depth of our Rebellion is. In our Fallen Nature we are against God. We need help, much help – and he has sent it. Twenty centuries ago. Now He's coming back to see who took the help – and to see who was just talking.
The only help He gave was the help to Change and become like Him. Most have refused this help. I'm not talking about being Saved now, I'm talking about making it out on the first boat. Most believers will be going through the Tribulation, but if you obeyed His Word – you won't. The Rapture isn't for believers, it's for the Overcomers, those who obeyed God. The demons believe. Those who still Believe by the end of the Tribulation will join us at His 2nd Coming. Don't believe me, search the Scriptures and check it out yourself. Many many so called Christians will be shocked, literally. They thought they could work God the way they worked everything else in their life. Not a chance, God is not mocked remember. It's not about being perfect, it's about taking God seriously. Don't be one of those who didn't.
His Return will be an Interruption for everyone who lives on the earth, and the Bible says so. But for all who are not Ready – it will be catastrophic. It will surprise hundreds of millions of people who called themselves Christians. Not because they didn't have a chance to get it right, but because they wouldn't get it right. They never really meant it. They didn't Believe in Him or His Word – like that. One translation says that they would be religious, but reject the power that could make them godly. Another says they will appear to have a godly life, but they will not let it's power change them. Just about 2 years ago the Lord put it on my heart to confront every member of our Ecclesia [during a sermon] with that question. Surprisingly, if the Lord had returned then, none of us were ready within ourselves. We could tell. You can tell. I am very glad to say that now, we are . . .

As the National Broadband Network (NBN) construction chugs along in Tasmania, debate on the mainland continues as to whether laying the fibre optic cables underground is more advantageous than putting them in existing overhead infrastructure.
Layer 10 founder and NBN lead for the Communications Alliance, Paul Brooks, said the decision on rolling out NBN cabling overhead or underground is a business concern depending on local conditions in each area.
"There's a perception that underground cabling is more reliable, but that's not always true, underground cable can be damaged too," Brooks said.
"It's often cheaper to roll-out cable along the existing power lines, so there's incentive to do that in many areas from a carriers point of view, but if there's existing ducting and pipe work in the ground, then it will go underground. Ultimately it will come down to a cost decision."
Ovum research director, David Kennedy, said although it's expensive to do so, putting fibre optic cables underground does have maintenance advantages.
"That is in fact the case, cable exposed to the weather requires more maintenance and you don't need to be an engineer to realise that," he said.
Brooks said the majority of Tasmania's NBN roll-out is likely to go in overhead cables, due to the existing infrastructure in place by energy provider Aurora, who was also awarded the contract to build the first stage of the NBN.
Peter Downey, chairman of Sydney-based lobby group Cables Downunder, which is opposing the deployment of overhead cables, said the NBN cables must not be built overhead as that will increase running costs and reduce reliability.
"[The NBN] is so important that it must not be built on the cheap as this will increase running costs and reduce reliability," he said.
After receiving harsh criticism in online forums for presenting unsubstantiated evidence on the issue at the Senate Select Committee, he defended his comments made during his time being questioned by the Committee on October 1.
Downey admitted he floundered at the hearing and that he had expected to see an engineering study presented to the Senate Committee outlining guidelines on how to proceed with the laying of cables.
"They don't know what they're doing, they haven't put down a format and said 'Here, comment on this.' So whatever you put up is really hypothetical," he told Computerworld.
Downey pointed to a 1998 report, written for the then communications minister Richard Alston, titled Putting Cables Underground as proof backing up his claims overhead cables are more costly to maintain than those deployed underground. Research presented in the report estimates the savings in maintenance costs from placing cables underground is $318 per kilometre of cable per year. However, the report does not take into consideration the advancements in technology and changes to the economy since 1998 and no recent evidence was referenced.
Federal communications minister, Senator Stephen Conroy, has said on record that community sensitivities relating to the rolling-out of overhead cabling will be taken into consideration.
