I'm still (still!!) trying to part with garments I almost never wear to make room for more useable items, but I've accepted that this is an ongoing process. After all, time's passing and I want to get started on the next stage (actually sewing stuff) while I don't have to rush because I have nothing to wear. I've tried to purge as much warm-weather clothes as possible and my plan is to use the fall/winter stuff I already have for now then ditch what I don't love once it's warm enough that I'm not wearing them frequently.
Spring/Summer Capsule Wardrobe
- MAKE: Knee-length Hollyburn in black cotton broadcloth or poplin; white lining with white eyelet ruffle (longer than overskirt); contour waistband; elastic in back of waistband
- MAKE: Long petticoat skirt in black lawn or voile with deep ruffle, gathered at waist with back elastic
- IN PROCESS: Brown midi petticoat skirt–need to shorten the skirt I have and fix waistband (add lining? add pockets?)
- IN PROCESS: Blue denim Hollyburn–need to take in waistband (okay, this color isn't technically in my palette, but I'm considering it a neutral denim)
- IN PROCESS: Black floral circle skirt with attached black eyelet petticoat–need to replace waistband
- MAKE: Peplum top in black ponte with Nevermore collar (Simplicity 1699 view B)
- MAKE: Sweetheart t-shirt in white jersey (from Gertie Sews Vintage Casual)
- MAKE: Sweetheart t-shirt in black jersey (assuming this pattern works for me)
- MAKE: Peplum top from Lady Skater in cream? or cream floral?
- MAKE: Another cream or green top?
- HAVE: Black & white polka dot Bronte top
- HAVE: Gray & black horses print Bronte top
- IN PROCESS: Black tunic top from Weekender Dress pattern
- IN PROCESS: Black gauze top–need to add rows of elastic to waist
- HAVE: Gray floral Lady Skater
- HAVE: Black and gray Weekender Dress
- HAVE: Green and pink floral Lady Skater
- HAVE: Green knee-length dress with neck ties (purchased)
- MAKE: Long-sleeved bolero in gray (or black?) linen or laceweight sweater knit or lightweight sweatshirt fleece (Butterick 5232 [out of print, sorry!])
- HAVE: Olive military jacket (purchased, but need to fix closures)
- HAVE: Gray jersey elbow-length cardigan w/ ruffles (purchased)
- HAVE: Black and cream lightweight sweater knit cardigan (purchased)
So that's 22 pieces, 18 of which I will have made! I already have the patterns I need, so I feel pretty confident that I'll be making useful items (the only thing I haven't made up before is the Sweetheart t-shirt).
My most urgent need is for white and cream tops, and then skirts (I'm a little sad there are no dresses* in my queue, but the separates will be more useful). I've ordered swatches of various cotton knits and lightweight wovens to figure out what fabrics will work for the items on my to-make list. While I'm waiting for those, I suppose I should really start tackling the in-process items–most of these are refashions or fixes of things I've already made to make them a bit more useful.
The only things on my to-purchase list are socks (probably some lightweight knee-highs) and another pair of sandals.
I hope to have all these completed in the next couple of months so that I'm wearing them when it's warm (and getting into hellishly hot). Then I'll revisit the Wardrobe Architect exercises (and possibly do another wardrobe purge) in July so I can start planning and sewing for fall and winter. (However, although I call this the "spring/summer" capsule wardrobe, I do fully intend to wear many of these in fall/winter, so I won't end up with two entirely discrete capsule wardrobes. At the moment, I anticipate making long-sleeve t-shirts, turtlenecks, and wool dresses.)
*Totally unrelated: I'm seriously considering doing the Weekend Dressmaking Intensive at Workroom Social in June. It's a little pricey for this penny-pincher, but I could really use some fitting help!

"Don't Think I've Forgotten," a moving and informative documentary by John Pirozzi, takes its name from a hit song of the 1960s. The title may not ring a bell among Western audiences, though the tune itself might carry a sonic reminder of that era. Like almost all the music heard in the film, it was a product of the vibrant pop music scene that flourished in Cambodia during the ill-fated reign of Prince Norodom Sihanouk.
Popular songs are both ephemeral and durable. They have their brief season of radio airplay and then linger in memory as permanent tokens of generational identity. The Cambodian musical culture that spawned the soundtrack of Mr. Pirozzi's film was marvelously fertile, absorbing a wide range of Western influences and infusing them with traditional Khmer themes and singing styles. There were go-go bands and girl groups, crooners and bubble-gum divas, skinny suits and big hairdos, funk and psychedelia. But all of it — the record stores and discothèques, the atmosphere of youthful exuberance and romantic longing — proved tragically fragile, unable to withstand the forces of war and political fanaticism.
Because it concentrates on the music — interviewing surviving fans and artists, generously sampling old 45s and video clips — "Don't Think I've Forgotten" offers a fresh and powerful account of Cambodia's painful history. Like Rithy Panh's "Missing Picture," a family chronicle of almost unimaginable suffering and loss at the hands of the Khmer Rouge, Mr. Pirozzi's film is an unsparing and meticulous reckoning of the effects of tyranny on ordinary Cambodians. It is also a rich and defiant effort at recovery, showing that even the most murderous totalitarianism cannot fully erase the human drive for pleasure and self-expression.
And Cambodia from the late 1950s to the mid-'60s looks very pleasant indeed — a land of flowering trees and blossoming cultural possibilities. Prince Sihanouk, while not exactly a democrat, was a patron of the arts and a music lover with a decent singing voice. After his country peacefully negotiated its independence from France, he tried to keep it on a neutral and independent path, something that proved increasingly difficult and ultimately impossible as the Cold War heated up in neighboring Vietnam.
"Don't Think I've Forgotten" is not exactly suspenseful: we know from the start that the American bombs and the Communist killing fields are just over the horizon. But the filmmakers' deft interweaving of old videos with recent interviews casts an unusual spell, inducing a poignant kind of magical thinking. The pop stars are so vivid — Sinn Sisamouth, with his dapper clothes and neatly combed hair, Ros Serey Sothea with her keening, passionate voice, the rebellious guitar hero Yol Aularong — that you almost believe they will somehow be spared, as if the ebullience and freedom they represent could keep the monsters of history at bay.
Those musicians and their fans — who can still recall listening parties and record-store excursions 50 years after the fact — reclaim their long-forgotten place in the global youth culture of their era. The kids in Phnom Penh resemble their counterparts in Prague, Paris, Berkeley or Mexico City, some of whom were also caught up in the political storms of the era, though few quite as lethally. It's the closeness of that Cambodian generation, the familiarity of their tastes and attitudes, that makes their fate seem especially horrific.
In 1970, after the United States began bombing suspected North Vietnamese positions in northern and eastern Cambodia, Sihanouk, who opposed the American intervention, was deposed in a military coup led by Gen. Lon Nol, a former prime minister. His government demanded nationalistic songs and repressed some of the more countercultural kinds of music. But this repression was minor compared with the blood bath that would follow.
The Khmer Rouge, which entered Phnom Penh almost exactly 40 years ago (in April 1975), emptied the cities and singled out artists, intellectuals and "pro-Western" Cambodians for harsh treatment. Wearing long hair or owning a musical instrument could lead to torture, confinement or death — not that the Khmer Rouge was especially discriminating in its brutality. While Mr. Pirozzi does not dwell on the misery of the mid-'70s, he does not minimize it either, or suggest that reconciliation and recovery have been easy.
And even as you revel in the sounds of newly rediscovered artists, you are aware that their careers were cut brutally short, and that the further flowering of Cambodian rock 'n' roll was sacrificed on the altar of fanaticism.

Chorus (x1)
Time is short and my life is sick
You get abused by street platoons
Hit you like wind and what-cha gonna do?
We break circles of enemies blocks get shot with defeat
They say no drive-by's on the street
So mutha-fuckas run rival sweeps
Sick platoons flood the streets of los
Like a sick typhoon
Mutha-fuckas drive by world wide
And everybody you and i know dies
The only guarantee in life is death your last breath
Come when your famo least expect it
Soldier run wild in your song
Red dawn strikes your back in dead 'nam
Your mind's flipping but the scene's dead calm
And your whole world's thrown and wrapped in psyclone
Alright ride through the city like that
Pants, t-shirts are creased and stole gats
La undercover shoot to kill
Child of the streets run wild in war fields
Scheming on pigs that start shit
Guilty treat us all dirty filthy
The streets are flooded with budded corrupted minds running
Those who can't cut it
Leave the hoodlum studded ghetto wondering what is
The excuse or reason for high treason
In blasting season leaving one of your color bleeding
Repeating never stopping body dropping
'hood rocking window glocking zone shocking
Defending pavement attacking, facing arraignment
Jail's enslavement shackled for justice to the plaintiff
When the charges stick that's it you get hit with some bid
For what you did prevent and rid some kid of his chance to live
'cause of the block he lives in
Not giving a fuck just trying to win your block ribbon
Glock driven joining street platoons like it's some fashion
Going out of style so you catch it for some action
It's no joke homeboys get smoked, poked, 'cause they provoke
Locked on dope no hope for growth that's why we're broke
Short pocket street criminals fail to lock it but crime sky rockets
So where the fuck is the profit?
Maybe in hands of those who supply drugs and weapons
Chorus (x1)

Crew : 5
Tranportation : Double Cab (Up to Inginiyagala Dam), Boat
Duration : Half day
Gal Oya National Park is located in the boundary of Uva and Eastern Provinces surrounding Inginiyagala reservoir AKA Senanayaka Samudraya, the largest reservoir in Sri Lanka. Senanayaka Samudraya is created by constructing a dam across the water stream called "Gala Oya" which later became "Gal oya" under Galoya project to distribute water to Uva and eastern provinces for irrigation purposes. The Dam, which power up the 11.25 MW Hydro electric generators in Inginiyagala Power Station was started in 1949 and completed in 1953.
This was the area which King Saddhatissa, Brother and successor of King Dutugemunu used as his hiding place during the war between his brother. After he throned, King Saddhatissa has build many temples in this area which later covered by dense forest with the establishment of the Kingdoms in Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa areas. Later the villagers in Uva – Wellassa, in the times of the famous "Wellasse satana" had been fled to Digamadulla (Now Ampara-Inginiyagala-Hingurana-Damana area) which was a dense jungle at that time and established villages. After few centuries of isolation from the rest of the country, Galoya project made people from all over the country to settle down in Digamadulla.
The Galoya National park was established in 1954 as the main catchment area of the senanayaka samudraya and controlled under the Galoya development board until 1965, when the department of wildlife conservation took over. 63000 ha land of this national park is the home for 32 species of terrestrial mammals including Sri Lankan Elephant, Deer, Water Buffalo, Leopard, Wild Boar and Monkeys. It is rare to see mammals in this park other than elephants, buffaloes and monkeys through the untouched, thick walls of gigantic tress. Therefore this national park still remains unpopular, keeping its residents safe and sound.
I had an idea of visiting the park someday as i heard it is the only national park in Sri Lanka, where visitors can go on a boat safari. One fine day of July in 2016 me and another four of my friends went to the Gal oya National Park. As I have been contacted Galoya wild life department office few weeks earlier and reserved the afternoon (3.00 PM) boat session, we only had to pay the fees and jump in to the boat. There are two boats which you can reserve, one with 10 and another with 7 passenger capacity. You only have to make a call to Department of Wildlife Office in Galoya (0632242002 / +94632242002) to make a reservation, which they will be confirming your participation by contacting you in the morning of your date of reservation and payments can be made just before the boat safari.
I was already in Ampara, so i went from a personal vehicle to the Inginiyagala dam. One who is travelling from Kandy to Galoya national park have three routes as options.
Option 1: Kandy to Andaulpotha – B492 (Randenigala Road) & B36 > Andaulpotha to Inginiyagala Via Bibile (178 km) : Haven't used this route in a while, heard B492 (Randenigala) road in not in perfect condition as rest of the road. But can't say the road condition is bad.
Option 2: Kandy to Mahiyanganaya – A26 (18 Hair pin road) > Mahiyanganaya to Inginiyagala Via Andaulpotha and Bibile (178 km) : A26 (18 Hair pin) Road is one of the most scenic routes in Sri Lanka and the road lies through Galoya national park during the Bibile – Inginiyagala part
Option 3: Kandy to Mahaoya (69 junction) – A26 (18 Hair pin road) & Mahaoya (69 junction to Ampara – A5 > Ampara to Inginiyagala – AB1 (209 km) : A26 (18 Hair pin) Road is one of the most scenic routes in Sri Lanka but there is around 60km length after Padiyathalawa in route
My favorite is Option 2, But you have to always keep an eye on the road as there is a high chance of wild animals crossing the road in the Bibile – Inginiyagala part. Also i have observed that dogs love sleeping on the road just after a drizzle which is rare to this area in latter part of the year.
We went to the Galoya national park, wild life department office around 2.30 pm and then paid for the boat ride. You have to pay for 5 people to reserve the boat and if there are more poeple, it is 650LKR per head, small amount as the boat operator cost and Taxes. For five of us, it was around 840 LKR per head alltogether. (*Please note that these charges are for local visitors, Charges for Foreigners may be different). Then we went to the far end of Inginiyagala dam, where the Wildlife department holiday bungalow is located. The boat operator gave us life jackets and prepared the boat while we were struggling to put on them.
Then the ride began. It was too sunny so that we all wore hats and i was wondering will there be any animal sightings with this hot climate. Initially we saw many birds who has been residing the small islands emerged from water. There were only few species of birds though the count was numerous. As we got to know afterwards it is better to go morning boat safari to see birds and afternoon session for elephants. Then we saw one elephant on a island far away and traveled there, the operator shut the boat engine as we came nearby and let it float without any sound. The giant was searching for food and was too busy not to notice us (or may be he knew there is no treat to them inside their home).
We started the ride once again as the elephant disappeared behind the rocky center of the island. As it is an island the elephant must have swam to it, but it is a rare to witness that event. Then we saw few deer, Monkeys, alligator and another elephant in the mainland. All the mammals were there for water, while the alligator was spying on them. Then we saw the event we were looking forward, one of my friends pointed out an elephant walking towards the reservoir from the mainland far away. It was nearly 4.30pm where the sun was on the background making it hard for us to watch the elephant. So the operator took the boat around an island . When we were looking there was no sign of the elephant. Then the wild life department boat operator shut the engine and pointed out a small rock like thing around 8 inches over the water surface, that turned out to be the one we were looking for. It was a majestic scene to witness. The elephant was swimming!!! the thing we saw was the top of her head and she gently rise her eyes above the water once in a while to see the direction. As she could breath through her trunk, which was slightly over the water surface the swim seemed pretty easy even though the body is large.
Suddenly our boat, which was floating with the engines turned off hit a decayed tree trunk under the water. That made a large noise and got the swimmers' attention. She quickly swam the rest of the distance and challenged us as soon as she could feel the ground underwater. But as we kept clam and she realized it is safe, she gently walked out of the water and had a snack before disappearing in to the tree curtain of that island. On the way we saw another couple of elephants having their wet bodies covering with dust and enjoying the sunset. Finally we headed back to the dam to realize that we were on the boat for around 3 hours and 30 minutes.

It's been a while since some kind of post. I have realized that there are a hundred million really good blogs out there on the fire service and they have gained my attention. Not to mention there is only so much to report on and post to "training" from my pee-brain.
Anyhow, there have been a rash of deadly fires in our area(F-dub proper)…3 to count in the last 6 months. 2 in OCW's first due and one in ours(FWBFD). What is going on?! some have asked. It is unusual for our small town area to have such a rash in a short time span. Death via fire does happen in our area( as well as rescue from that fire), just not often. Unfortunately in all 3 cases there was no possible way the fire service could have helped those people. Crews acted and arrived on scene fast (on scene within 3 minutes of alarm). It wasn't lack of ability, training, equipment, manning? maybe but in these cases there was enough people to attempt a rescue if possible. I hear the term "risk vs benefit" all the time and even in these cases there was no risk…because we didn't have the time… I believe after talking to those involved and being there for one of them that time was not on the fire services' side in these circumstances. In all of these cases the lack of timely call (a significant delay) to 911 was common. I believe if we would have been called sooner, a minute or two, would have made the difference…The call is that important. Seconds do count when they add up to minutes which are what makes or brakes a "grab". So let us be vigilant on our training, preparedness to respond to the call, & fortitude to "make the push". It is our part as professionals (vol or career) to give the public of whom we serve that benefit, it is what they expect and rightfully so! Fire prevention month is upon us…let's not forget to tell our community how important it is to call us and call us fast!
9-1-1 save lives
Stay safe and live ready!

Obama administration begins Native Hawaiian recognition process
After years of inaction, the federal government is considering formal recognition of Native Hawaiians, even as Native Hawaiians in the state work on creating a sovereign government themselves.
After years of inaction, the federal government is considering formal recognition of Native Hawaiians, even as Native Hawaiians in the state work on creating a sovereign government themselves.
The U.S. Department of Interior announced Wednesday that it will take a first step to consider re-establishing a government-to-government relationship between the United States and the Native Hawaiian community. That process begins with a procedure known as Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, or ANPRM.
The ANPRM asks five broad questions:
- Should the federal government propose an administrative rule that would facilitate the re-establishment of a government-to-government relationship with the Native Hawaiian community?
- Should it assist the Native Hawaiian community in reorganizing its government, with which the United States could re-establish a government-to-government relationship?
- If so, what process should be established for drafting and ratifying a reorganized Native Hawaiian government's constitution or other governing document?
- Should the federal government instead rely on the reorganization of a Native Hawaiian government through a process established by the Native Hawaiian community and facilitated by the state of Hawaii, to the extent such a process is consistent with federal law?
- If so, what conditions should the federal government establish as prerequisites to federal acknowledgment of a government-to-government relationship with the reorganized Native Hawaiian government?
The first step in the process, which includes a 60-day window for public comment, begins with publication today in the Federal Register at doi.gov/ohr/reorg/loader.cfm?csModule=security/getfile&pageid=537973.
The Interior Department hopes to expedite comments with a series of public hearings, beginning Monday on Oahu. Big Island meetings will be held July 2 and 3.
In addition to the public meetings, comments can be submitted online at regulations.gov or via U.S. mail, courier,= or hand delivery to: Office of the Secretary, Department of the Interior, Room 7329, 1849 C Street NW, Washington, DC 20240 (use Regulation Identifier Number 1090-AB05 in your message).
In a telephone conference with the media Wednesday, officials with the Departments of Interior and Justice stressed that their process is separate and independent of the nation-building process Native Hawaiians are currently conducting through the Native Hawaiian Roll Commission and the state Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
Assistant Secretary for Policy, Management and Budget, Rhea Suh, said she realized the state is moving forward with a nation-building process. The federal government, she said, is looking at the larger issue of federal recognition.
"We think these things are complementary," Suh said. "We will certainly work in a complementary fashion."
After the initial 60-day period, Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell will decide if the government should proceed to a formal rule-making process. This second 60-day process also allows opportunities for public input.
It's too early to know if federal recognition for Native Hawaiians will be the same as that for Native Americans, said Sam Hirsch, a Justice Department attorney participating in the media briefing. Many Native Hawaiians have indicated they don't want to follow that model.
Hirsch said it will be up to the public and the Native Hawaiians themselves to look at the proposed rules and decide "whether all or part of it makes sense" in their governance model.
But, when pressed, he conceded that, "Ultimately, it's the call of the secretary."
Lei Kihoi, Hawaii Island representative on the Native Hawaiian Roll Commission, said it's important for the public to understand the two different processes going on. The state process of establishing a roll of Native Hawaiians, in order to vote for delegates in preparation for a spring convention where a government will be constructed, is separate and distinct from the process of federal recognition, she said.
Both processes, however, are welcome, she said.
"I think it's going to spur a lot of discussion from Hawaiians and non-Hawaiians alike. This affects all people," Kihoi said. "I think it's healthy for the community to educate themselves on the issues and the history."
OHA CEO Kamana-opono Crabbe also emphasized federal recognition is just one option.
"The decision of whether to walk through the federal door or another will be made by delegates to a Native Hawaiian aha and ultimately by our people," Crabbe said in a statement. "We are committed to keeping all doors open so our people can have a full breadth of options from which to choose what is best for themselves and everyone in Hawaii."
OHA Chairwoman Colette Machado praised the move as "an important step toward ensuring that millions of dollars for Native Hawaiian education, health and other programs will continue to flow to our people and that our Hawaiian trusts and programs will be protected from further legal challenges."
Hawaii's congressional delegation issued a joint statement approving of the plan.
"We applaud the Administration's commitment to an open dialogue, starting with listening sessions in Hawaii to provide ample opportunity for Native Hawaiians and the general public to contribute their comments and concerns," Sens. Brian Schatz and Mazie Hirono and Reps. Colleen Hanabusa and Tulsi Gabbard, all Democrats, said in the statement.
"This notice represents an historic opportunity to address years of injustice and marks a positive step forward in the push for Native Hawaiian self-determination," they added.
Gov. Neil Abercrombie also welcomed the news.
"I commend the Obama Administration for recognizing and supporting Native Hawaiians as it works to reconcile its relationship with Native Hawaiians at the federal level," Abercrombie said in a statement. "We look forward to welcoming representatives of the U.S. Departments of the Interior and Justice to discuss ideas for updating federal policy on Native Hawaiian self-determination."

CPJ Seeks Meeting With Israeli Ambassador
The Committee to Protect Journalists has asked for a meeting with Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Ron Dermer, triggered by concerns that Israel could close Al Jazeera's bureau in that country and revoke their journalists' accreditation.
In a letter to Dermer, Sherif Mansour, Middle East and North Africa program coordinator for CPJ, said Israel should: 1) "drop efforts to shutter Al-Jazeera, and should not change the law to target a broadcaster whose coverage it does not like"; 2) "take all steps necessary to ensure that journalists can work safely and are not targeted by security forces during protests or other forms of unrest"; 3) "stop raiding and harassing media outlets on the unproven 'suspicion' of incitement"; and "4) "immediately free the journalists it jails without charge under the broadly abused terms of administrative detention."
In a New York Times op ed, Mansour said: "Israel bills itself as a democracy while in the same breath defending its decision on Al Jazeera by noting the example set by Saudi Arabia's absolute monarchy and Egypt's military dictatorship. It is true that the government in Jerusalem will need to jump through more hoops than did the Arab states to shut Al Jazeera down."
"We look forward to the chance to meet with you in person to discuss our concerns, and to hear what steps the Israeli government will to take to ensure that the press can operate freely in Israel and the Palestinian territories," Mansour said in the letter to Dermer.

About this Event
Basics 2A - Weekly Course for Ages 7 - 8
Prerequisite - Basics 1Dash & Scratch Sessions B
We welcome students who at least 7 years old and have completed Primary 1 in the local school system or Year 1 in the international school system.
Basics 2 A/B is a 2-course series (taken in any order) that focuses on the practical application of the coding concepts learnt in Basics 1. The project-based approach to learning how to code in these courses provide ample opportunities to our youngest Code Campers to cement their understanding of the basic coding concepts. In addition to sequencing, events and loops, new coding concepts such as conditionals (how computers can make decisions, if you would let them) will also be introduced as kids gain familiarity with the nature of code. Students will gain exposure and depth of understanding of how to code in Scratch to build more intricate and elaborate programs on Campus, including their very own fairy tale story and music animation! By exploring a wider range of programming language blocks and concepts, kids will develop their skills and understanding though practice and application, while building their confidence to explore new territory in the world of code. They will hone their ability to think more logically and computationally, and combine this with their innate creativity and imagination to turn their ideas into reality using computers! Students will also continue sharpening their keyboard and mouse handling skills to build dexterity and basic computer literacy.After this series of courses, Code Campers will have a firmer understanding of the fundamental coding concepts and a better appreciation of how to create a variety of exciting projects that will enable them to progress comfortably along the Basics sequence. They will now be able to control the flow of a program and create their own artistic masterpieces with code.
Course Schedule
This is an 5-lesson course. Lessons will be conducted online every Sunday, 26 Jul - 30 Aug (No lesson on 9 Aug), 430pm-630pm. Full details will be sent via email to parents, lessons will be run via Zoom.

Why is my Golf Different from the Range to the Course?
Why is my Golf Different from the Range to the Course?
By Nicole Weller
This question is a very popular one in the golf world. There is quite a lot of research from behavioral scientists that can actually show why there are differences. We had
Dr. Robert Bjork
guest speak at The Landings Club last year regarding his research on how to be a better golfer on the course instead of the practice range. He once held a prestigious UCLA Psychology Department chair position but continues to research, present and share. Vision54 also spends a lot of their share time on this topic, especially in their second book by Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriot entitled
The Game before the Game
The following points may help provide ideas to play better on the course and not just at the range, with much of these pointers being research and science-proven.
Practice like you'll play.
Blocked/grouped practice to the same target from the same lie with the same club in an effort to 'groove' something only allows us to 'cram' for short-term results. Random/variable practice allows us to create stronger learning neuropathways for long-term use. Various science experiments show that those who tossed bean bags repetitively from the same distance tested better right way than those who threw from various places but long-term, the variable throwers held up much better. The same goes for learning a 40-yard pitch shot. Those who practiced at just 40 yards did better immediately but in the long-term. Those who had to learn and adapt from only 50 or 30 yards did better in the long-term. Remember, performance and learning are different things, so if you didn't perform well during practice, it doesn't mean that you didn't learn anything. Just because you learned something doesn't mean it can always be performed at the same high level all the time (see research articles by Dr. Robert Bjork and also Dr. Bob Christina at Pinehurst). So, decide if you want to practice to be a better range player or course player. It's scientifically proven grooving doesn't work for longer-term/course transfer!
The range tee is usually a laser-level of beauty, but
most courses aren't flat
like that for a challenge and also drainage. If you only practice and get good from flat lies, you won't be as good on the course since most lies have some slope. I've taken a level out to test it and not many lies were completely flat. So, if one doesn't practice and learn from these lies, the shots won't match up from what was learned at the range. Vary your lies, targets and clubs. Out of ten 7 irons, warm-up with 3-4 and then hit the last 6-7 from all different lies.
I love the drill by Vision54 in which you get 30 balls and have to make them last for 30 minutes at the range. Think about golf with regards to the time between shots, yet golfers tend to practice one shot after another, oftentimes without even leaving the station or taking a fresh grip. Start totally fresh after each shot, back up, create a new shot and walk into the shot as you would on the course. Walking in rhythm is part of the shot and should be practiced as a package if one wants to get better on the course.

I've been holding onto this fabric since we had the Melbourne social sewing shop back in February. Its from the Alannah Hill outlet and is lovely and soft to touch (I did a burn test and I am guessing its a silk cotton). It is fairly see through so I decided to underline it with a quilting cotton from my stash to give it some body and to stop the seams showing through.
I haven't underlined anything this thin and shifty before. It wasn't as bad as I thought though, I cut it in a single layer and then machine basted around the pieces. I was worried about the top layer shifting or bagging out but it all seems to be sitting smoothly now its sewn.
Adjustment wise, we muslined up the dress first, its a sz 14 with the bust raised by 1", the waistline raised by 1/2" and the side seams taken in by 1/4" with the front bodice seam let out the same amount. The pockets are my favourite ones from Simplicity 2588, I love how they are sewn into the waist seam so they can't flap around.
I'm pretty happy with how it fits her, I'm finally starting to get an idea on what adjustments I need to do which is helping to eliminate the wadders.

Ken Ham's Lucrative Shipwreck
Stormy weather is on the horizon for Ken Ham, president of the non-profit young-earth creationist organization Answers in Genesis. It turns out that his particular deity is not powerful enough to keep his religiously-motivated ark-building project afloat. However, as we will see, Ham is wearing a lifejacket made of greenbacks that will preserve him financially at the expense of all those pious investors who believed in his crusade to stunt young minds.
Ham's creationist organization currently owes about $29 million in taxable debt to the state of Kentucky. In order to pay this debt, Answers in Genesis needs to find investors who will purchase $29 million worth of unrated municipal bonds no later than February 6, 2014.
Meeting that deadline will be a huge challenge for Ham's organization. According to Brian Chappatta, writing for Bloomberg,
Even though $26.5 million of securities have been sold, the project needs to sell at least $55 million in total to avoid triggering a redemption of all the bonds, Ken Ham, the nonprofit's president, said in an e-mail to supporters yesterday. Without the proceeds, construction funding will fall short, he said.
So, Answers in Genesis has only sold $26.5 million worth of securities in the whole time they have been fundraising for the Biblically-based theme park, which has been going on for the past several years. This means that in the next two weeks, they must raise more than twice the money they spent years collecting.
I wonder if Ken Ham and his fellow pipe-dreamers have tried praying to the Christian God for the money they need. Their god is supposedly all-powerful, and Ham has stated in writing that it is the will of this god to bring his Ark Encounter project to completion:
We believe that God has called AiG to construct an Ark according to the dimensions in the Bible, to remind people of the truth of God's Word and call them to salvation.
Therefore, if Ham's ark theme park encounters the rocks of financial ruin in February, consistency of form would oblige AiG to consider the failure as a disconfirmation of their deity's power.
The Ark Encounter is just another entry in a list of several failed Christian-themed amusement parks. For example, Kent Hovind owned and operated a creationist theme park called "Dinosaur Adventure Land" in Pensacola, Florida. This park was seized by the state government when Hovind evaded the taxes he owed them.
But as I tried to argue at length in my essay "From Saturday Night to Sunday Morning," American Christianity is nothing if not a money-making enterprise that has learned from past mistakes in imitative cultural marketing throughout history. And Ken Ham is nothing if not a scam artist with an endgame carefully calculated to make him come out the winner whether his lofty visions come to fruition or not. Ham and his anti-science organization are not going to walk away from this letdown empty-handed. There is no legal obligation on the part of Answers in Genesis to pay back the junk bonds they offered to potential investors last year, so they will not owe any money to these investors when the Ark Encounter dies. Built into the fine print on the junk bonds was an incentive for the Ark Encounter to fail.
While it would be very gratifying to think that the reason Ken Ham's project is certain to fail is because of a dwindling of public interest in Christianity, we unfortunately do not live in a country so enlightened. We live in a country wherein Christian fundamentalists with an agenda have succeeded in scamming the city of Williamstown out of a lot of tax money. They did this on the thinly-disguised grounds that the Ark Encounter was going to serve a secular purpose by becoming a job-creating tourist attraction. And the city of Williamstown was gullible enough to believe that cover story.
At the very least, however, I am glad that Ken Ham's narcissism and Noah-complex will not get the particular kind of affirmation he was seeking through the Ark Encounter. He driving interest still is to sensationalize a gospel of fire and brimstone through grand spectacle, because his cerebrally-confined "Museum" was not enough.

NASHVILLE – So much for that breather Connor Hellebuyck was planning to enjoy.
As the Winnipeg Jets closed out a six-game road trip with a date with the Nashville Predators, resting the starting goalie was a storyline that wasn't going to generate much interest.
The Jets were playing the second game of a back-to-back and after going 3-1-1 to start the swing, giving Michael Hutchinson his third NHL start of the season made plenty of sense.
A well-rested Nashville Predators squad peppered Hutchinson in the early going and built a 3-0 lead before the game was nine minutes old, thanks to a pair of shorthanded goals scored 34 seconds apart.
"It's just a bounce that happens during the season, nothing to worry about," Jets defenceman Dustin Byfuglien after his team fell 3-1 on Tuesday at Bridgestone Arena. "It happens through the year. You're going to have a game like that where things just go in and you get chasing."
Jets head coach Paul Maurice called a timeout at 8:49 of the first period – after that third Predators goal – and that's when things took a bit of a strange turn.
Just as play was about to resume and after a brief chat with Jets assistant coach Jamie Kompon, Maurice told the officials to hang on since he was planning to make a goaltending change.
But this was not pulling the goalie to provide a spark or to try and change the momentum, since Hutchinson had turned aside 12 shots already and made several key stops as he was under siege.
Usually when a head coach plans to rest his starting goalie, circumstances have to be pretty serious to consider making a switch.
Turns out it was.
During the timeout, Hutchinson had a conversation with Jets athletic therapist Brad Shaw.
Earlier in the first period, Hutchinson – who recently missed six games with a concussion – was on the receiving end of some contact that eventually led to him shaking his mask off.
"(Hutchinson) did not receive a concussion diagnosis after the game. He'll go back and get evaluated (on Wednesday)," said Maurice. "Hutchinson went down to (Brad) Shaw because he wasn't right and that was it. (Hutchinson) was pretty sure he wasn't going to be able to continue."
Hellebuyck stood tall and kept the Jets within striking distance, finishing with 30 saves in relief.
The Jets slipped to 41-19-10 on the season, are now eight points behind the Predators in the chase for top spot in the Central Division standings (with Nashville holding a game in hand).
The Jets remain seven points up on the Minnesota Wild in the race for second place.
Jets goalie Steve Mason is already sidelined for two-to-three weeks with a knee injury (following two concussions of his own), but Maurice said it was too early to tell if the Jets will recall Eric Comrie from the Manitoba Moose for Thursday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Kevin Fiala opened the scoring for the Predators, while Austin Watson and Viktor Arvidsson provided the shorthanded markers.
The Jets entered the contest without seven players on the active roster – Mason, defencemen Jacob Trouba (ankle), Toby Enstrom (lower body) and Dmitry Kulikov (upper body) and forwards Mark Scheifele (upper body), Adam Lowry (upper body) and Matt Hendricks (lower body).
That number grew before the pre-game warm-up was over, as centre Paul Stastny was a late scratch with a suspected lower-body injury.
"It was tight (Tuesday) morning, but he thought he would be able to go," said Maurice. "It tightened up on him in the warm-up."
With Marko Dano already back in the lineup after Hendricks was hurt against the Washington Capitals on Monday, Shawn Matthias was activated from injured reserve and forced into action when Stastny was scratched.
Matthias last played on Jan. 12, when he suffered an upper-body injury against the Blackhawks and adding a layer to his challenge was the fact he didn't even dress for the pre-game warm-up.
The Jets got a power-play marker from Kyle Connor 68 seconds into the third period to break up the shutout bid for Pekka Rinne.
"It was nice to see that we didn't quit," said Jets forward Mathieu Perreault. "We had some fight back in us and actually gave ourselves a chance."
Jets winger Patrik Laine chipped in an assist on the goal to extend his point streak to 13 games and he's produced 16 goals and 23 points during that span.
After going 3-2-1 on the road trip, the Jets are set to open a six-game homestand on Thursday and they'll play eight of the final 12 contests at Bell MTS Place.
"I saw a team that was down about half of their players and playing the back end of a back-to-back. We knew the first was going to be tough for us and (the Predators) came out hot – similar to what we do to teams in our building that are coming in on back-to-backs," said Jets captain Blake Wheeler, who moved back to centre and chipped in an assist. "We didn't quite have our legs under us in the first. I'm so proud of our guys. Name a team in the league that is down half of their D-corps and three or their four centres and two goaltenders.
"There are nights you make excuses to help make yourself feel better. There are nights when the reality is that you're playing against a loaded deck. Our guys fought, man. You take away that bad power play and it's a 1-0 hockey game, a 1-1 hockey game. The disappointing part is that we didn't keep it within striking distance."

O.J. TV Drama Is FX's Bid for Netflix, HBO-Like Buzz on Basic Cable
Two decades after O.J. Simpson's murder trial lured millions of new viewers to CNN, a series based on the trial is poised to do the same for 21st Century Fox Inc.'s FX cable network.
"The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story" makes its debut Feb. 2 and could break audience records for the network, said John Landgraf, chief executive officer of FX Networks. Starring Cuba Gooding Jr., the 10-episode series is based on Jeffrey Toobin's book about the football star's infamous trial.
"It's tracking better than anything we've ever had in the history of the network," Mr. Landgraf said in an interview with reporters last week. FX works with the research firm OTX to gauge viewer interest in shows before they debut.
Developing new hits is more important than ever for FX. The network is suffering from a drop in live viewers and subscribers because consumers are watching more shows on demand and ditching costly cable packages for less expensive offerings that don't include the channel. In addition, Netflix and HBO spend billions more on programming, making the competitive landscape tougher and prompting Mr. Landgraf to say there is "too much TV."
Investor concern over the future of TV networks has sapped billions of dollars from the market value of media companies including Fox and Walt Disney Co. over the past few months. Fox has tumbled 26% since Aug. 4, when Disney cut the profit forecast for its cable TV division because of subscriber losses at ESPN.
Cable networks including FX accounted for 69% of Fox's operating income in fiscal 2015. Yet profit growth has slowed to about 5% in each of the past two years after at least eight years of double-digit increases, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Like ESPN, FX is constrained by its contractual ties to pay-TV providers such as Comcast Corp. and DirecTV, which are increasingly selling cheaper packages with fewer channels to keep subscribers. Premium-priced and commercial-free competitors like HBO and Showtime aren't part of basic cable bundles and can sell their programming online directly to the public. FX relies on pay-TV providers to keep getting higher monthly fees from the subscribers it has, as well as advertising revenue.
"More people are buying packages we're not in," said Mr. Landgraf, one of the more candid executives in the TV business. A former executive at NBC, Mr. Landgraf took charge of FX in 2005, and, with predecessor Peter Liguori, established the network as a home for premium dramas.
Fresh hit
FX needs a fresh hit, one that can help draw new viewers to its critically acclaimed lineup of shows including "Fargo" and "The Americans." Founded in 1994, the same year as the Simpson trial, the network was one of the first cable outlets to make dark, intelligent, original series. It has garnered more Emmy nominations than any basic cable network -- as well as Netflix -- in each of the past couple years.
Yet FX has suffered a 11% drop in viewers this TV season, according to Nielsen data that puts the network's nightly audience at about 1.32 million. The drop is even worse among adults between the age of 18 and 49, a pivotal demographic for advertisers.
The answer is a show that's so popular people will feel they've missed out if they don't watch live. AMC, the flagship channel of AMC Networks Inc., has dodged basic cable's audience losses thanks in large part to "Breaking Bad," which concluded in 2013, and "The Walking Dead," now the most popular drama on pay TV. The latter has spawned a prequel, "Fear The Walking Dead," as well as a talk show, "Talking Dead."
'Horror' spinoff
"American Crime Story" is a spinoff of FX's most-viewed show, "American Horror Story," created by Ryan Murphy. Mr. Murphy is an executive producer of "American Crime Story," and directed the pilot of the Simpson saga, which covers the period from the 1994 killings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman through the murder trial.
Courtney B. Vance co-stars as Simpson's main lawyer, Johnnie Cochran, while Sarah Paulson is featured as Marcia Clark and David Schwimmer plays Robert Kardashian.
The series is designed as an anthology, with the failed response to Hurricane Katrina scheduled as the next subject on tap.
FX isn't alone is revisiting the O.J. saga. ESPN this year plans a five-part documentary titled "OJ: Made in America."
To build momentum for its effort, FX sent out six episodes to the press in December. The program has landed front-page treatment in trade publications and national media outlets, reflecting the continued interest in one of the most famous trials in modern history.
"'American Crime Story' will certainly bring in a lot of viewers, and likely some new ones to the network," said said Billie Gold, vice president of buying and research at the advertising agency Amplifi US, part of Denstu Inc. "FX will have to use it strenuously as a platform to promote other shows and hope for the best if it wants viewers to stick with the network over time."

Gilbert is in his 50's. He hired a US company to build a professional-looking website for his renovation business. He thought he could get phone calls and leads from his website. He had waited month after month, but nothing happened. So he called us looking for answers.
Are you disappointed with the performance of your website? Have you ever wondered why your website doesn't bring you any leads and sales?
In most cases, you are missing one or more of the following 5 critical elements:
- Problem: Are you focusing on a problem and pain point that's already real to your prospects? Can you further agitate the problem, what's costing them, how it will continue to get worse if they don't deal with it.
- Promise: Does your promise stand out as unique from the competition? It could be unique because of the results, your story, how it work, pricing plan and guarantee, etc.
- Proof: Back up every strong promise with proof by adding testimonials, case studies, statistics and videos, etc.
- Offer: Do you have an irresistible offer in place? How do you show the discount/value a customer is getting from your offer? How do you remove their risk from the buying experience?
- Call to action: What is your call to action? Is it strong? How do you motivate a customer to take action today . . . when it's so much easier just to wait? Do you have time and quantity limitation? How do you make the scarcity real and believable?
Coincidentally these 5 critical elements are also the key components of a successful sales letter. Your website is your virtual salesperson. Missing any of the elements will hurt the conversion rate of your website.
We at VOOFA.ca studied many websites in different niches that are doing well. The commonality is that they all have the above critical elements in place. These 5 critical elements are the differences between a winner and loser.
Always remember, you don't need to have too much content on your website, but you DO NEED to have sufficient content that covers these 5 critical elements. If you want to learn more or want a free website performance report, contact us today.

Around the corner
around the block
its a long way home from where you are to
where you live.
So we trod the path
walk the line
find our way in the maze that
both opens doors
and closes minds
Finding our way
a way
through the morass and the mud
the long way home.
Our ears
caked with forgotten words
seal shut against the cold
our eyes no longer seeing the path
only seeing home
and we trudge on.

The Public Health Study Tour (PHST) is a two-week intensive program for public health students to gain experience in the public health sector in Indonesia.
The study tour will provide an introduction to the public health challenges currently facing Indonesia, as well as existing government, international and community-led initiatives tasked with meeting these challenges. This is a unique opportunity for Australian students to hear from leading health professionals, policy-makers and community health workers in Indonesia, and to discuss approaches to health issues with Indonesian counterparts.
The two-week intensive tour is made up of a comprehensive seminar series, and a number of field visits to health care facilities, organisations and schools in Indonesia which provide students with the opportunity to see firsthand how the public health system works in Indonesia and to understand the complex challenges it faces.
ACICIS' PHST enabled me to witness first-hand some of the global health issues which would otherwise appear abstract in a classroom setting. I found it thoroughly engaging, eye-opening and inspiring.ACICIS Past Participant
The structure of the two-week study tour is as follows:
- One week of seminars and field trips in Jakarta, in collaboration with Universitas Indonesia (UI), DFAT Development and including one day of discussions and group presentations;
- One week of seminars and field trips in Yogyakarta, including one day of concluding discussions and group presentations.
ACICIS' programs in Indonesia operate under the direction of the ACICIS Resident Director. ACICIS' PHST Tour Coordinator, Ms Citra Gantiaji, will serve as the primary liaison assisting with the planning of the tour. ACICIS staff will provide comprehensive in-country pastoral support services for students during their time in Indonesia.
In addition, a leading academic in the field of public health with specialised knowledge of Indonesia will be assigned for the duration of the PHST to provide academic supervision of the tour. The PHST Tour Leader (TL) for the pilot tour in 2016 was Professor Michael Dibley. Dr Luh Putu Lila Wulandari (Wulan) was the 2017 and 2018 PHST Tour Leader. Our tour leaders in 2019 were Dr Emily Rowe and Dr Ade Prastyani.
