An opinion paper endorsed by the ACC Interventional Council and Board of Governors addressed the issue of public reporting of percutaneous coronary intervention outcomes in this issue of JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions (1). This topic has for some years been discussed at the New York State Cardiac Advisory Committee that I chair. I have invited a response to the article in an effort to further the conversation around this important issue from a member of the New York State Cardiac Advisory Committee, Dr. Peter Berger.
—Spencer B. King III, MD
Drs. Rab and Wilson raise many issues around a controversial topic of great interest to both physicians and consumers of health care (patients)—public reporting of clinical outcomes around percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures (1).
I disagree with the premise that public reporting of PCI outcomes implies that death following PCI in any patient, let alone one with cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock, represents a complication of the PCI procedure (1). I know of no one, including physicians, administrators, or any of the government employees who work with us on the Cardiac Advisory Committee of the Department of Health of New York State ([NYS], the first state to publicly report PCI outcomes and the first to exclude shock and hypoxic encephalopathy from being publicly reported), who believes that. And I do not believe that the reference cited supports that premise (2). It is widely recognized that even when the pre-hospital care, PCI procedure, and post-hospital care go perfectly, no fewer than 40% to 50% of shock or hypoxic encephalopathy patients will nonetheless die within 30 days (3); the number of such patients whose death is likely related to a complication of the procedure is miniscule. The public reporting of risk-adjusted outcomes does not imply otherwise, directly or indirectly. Nonetheless, because the approximately 5% of patients who have cardiogenic shock or hypoxic encephalopathy account for nearly as many deaths as the 95% of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients without those conditions, the NYS Cardiology Advisory Committee on which we serve has excluded patients with shock and hypoxic encephalopathy from public reporting. The exclusion of these conditions was also driven by the realization that "risk aversion" by physicians exists, as was pointed out by Rab and Wilson (1). We do not exclude all patients with cardiac arrest, some of whom are promptly resuscitated without neurologic injury or hemodynamic instability. Unfortunately, definitions of these conditions vary among the databases; standardizing definitions throughout the many databases being used for STEMI patients would be helpful.
Although I recognize the merits of excluding patients with shock and hypoxic encephalopathy, I disagree with some of the statements made throughout the opinion piece about risk adjustment. It is not accurate to state that public reporting uses lower mortality rates as a benchmark, any more than it is accurate to say that low-risk patients are benchmarked against higher risk patients such as those with shock and hypoxic encephalopathy. Risk adjustment is a corrective tool used to level the playing field in the analysis of patient outcomes by adjusting for differences in risk among specific patients. Although risk adjustment generally does enable a fair comparison between hospitals' and doctors' performance, I agree that many if not most physicians are skeptical of its ability to do so. Fortunately, we do not have to rely on opinion. Studies indicate that when the highest risk patients are included in analyses, physicians and hospitals do not suffer from their inclusion (4,5). If anything, they benefit (4,5).
However, there are innumerable studies indicating that interventional cardiologists and many other proceduralists often exhibit risk-averse behavior in the selection of patients to undergo their procedure (6–9). Many interventional cardiologists tend to select patients who are least likely to suffer a complication from the procedure, rather than patients who are most likely to benefit (6–9). And importantly, this risk-averse behavior is common everywhere, not just in states in which there is public reporting (6–9).
I agree with 2 central points that Drs. Rab and Wilson (1) make; there are limited data that public reporting improves outcomes (although some do (10)), and, that many physicians justify avoiding high-risk patients as a result of a lack of confidence in risk adjustment. However, the public is increasingly insisting on medical outcome data of all sorts being publicly reported, and I do not believe that the genie can be put back in the bottle. The medical community has been notoriously bad at insisting on minimal standards of care and reporting unacceptably poor physicians to state boards for investigation and possible sanction; the public's interest in public reporting may in part be an outgrowth of that. But importantly, even though I agree that it may be most appropriate to exclude patients with shock and hypoxic encephalopathy from public reporting, it strikes me that physicians that withhold a PCI procedure from patients with high-risk STEMI such as those with shock and or hypoxic encephalopathy, a procedure that offers an approximate 20% absolute reduction in 30-day mortality (i.e., from ∼70% to ∼50%), or from patients of advanced age, or any other high-risk characteristics, because the physician is afraid of the potential impact on his or her reputation and does not trust risk adjustment, violates a commitment we make to our patients and represents unprofessional behavior that ought to result in sanctions from the hospital at which they practice, as well as from medical societies and professional boards. (3). And—wait for it—I believe such behavior ought to be publicly reported. Because it is probably impossible to determine which interventionalist or other physician chose not to bring a high-risk STEMI patient to the catheterization laboratory for angiography and possible PCI, I believe that such data ought to be reported at the hospital level—that hospital X did not perform Y PCI procedures on high-risk STEMI patients whose risk of dying would have been reduced by the procedure. Such reporting would be complicated by the fact that clearly some STEMI patients ought not undergo PCI—patients who did not want to go on living, or with advanced incurable cancer, or with dementia, to name a few; such patients ought be excluded from public reporting. True futility also exists. But physicians who withhold PCI from patients for whom the procedure would be appropriate for fear of the consequences to themselves from public reporting ought to, in my opinion, be educated and, if it continues, reprimanded, and I believe that publicly reporting such behavior reduces the likelihood that such behavior will be tolerated. At the recommendation of its Cardiac Advisory Committee, the New York State Department of Health is considering the release of hospital risk-adjusted mortality data for all acute myocardial infarction patients, regardless of whether they have undergone revascularization, as is being done nationally for Medicare patients by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
In closing, a word of caution. Regulators need to monitor outcomes at the hospital and physician levels, and they will continue to do so. When data are not publicly reported, journalists and others are able to petition for such data under the Freedom of Information Act. The data will then end up in the public domain without appropriate risk adjustment. We can all agree that that would be inappropriate. But it is likely that this will occur in the future without public reporting.
Dr. Berger wishes to thank Edward Hannan, PhD, for his critical review of this editorial and, more broadly, for his years of leadership on the NYS Cardiology Advisory Committee on behalf of the people of NYS.

Tenant Screening and Documentation
Leasing or renting out a property is a common practice in urban India. There are various reasons for which a landlord lease out or rent his property like,
- As a source of additional income
- If they are moving out of the city or country for a significant period of time
- To make use of the part of the property that is not in use.
Apart from above, a lot of young couples, especially NRI rent out some part of their property to provide their old parents with some company. While putting up the property for rent or lease, the landlord must put the tenants through a screening to not face any unwanted troubles in future. A NRI landlord should be more careful while choosing a tenant as they are more susceptible to cheating. For NRI, we would advise hiring the services of a professional property management law firm, who will undertake all the required screening work for you.
Steps for the Screening
Screening is the process of understanding the tenant and his history, so as to be able to avoid tenants who are habitual troublemakers. For NRI landlord, it will help them uncover any red flag regarding their intention with the property.
Various steps of screening are as follows:
Enquiries to make during initial screening – The landlord must ask certain basic questions about the tenant to be able to have a tenant according to their requirement and convenience. These are
- Occupation and income of the tenant
- Marital status, and if married whether the spouse will be living along or not.
- Size of the family and the people who will be the co-occupants
- Name or address of their last two landlords. It will be helpful to verify the details and good behaviour from past landlords to not run into any trouble in future.
- Reason for moving out from last accommodation
- Duration for which they wish to rent or lease the property
Move ahead with the rent agreement only if you are convinced of the genuineness of the prospective tenant. A NRI wishing to rent his property needs to be more careful as there are people on the prowl to take possession of NRI property as there are fewer or no regular checks.
- Police Verification – It is mandatory for landlords to get their tenants verified by the police. Not doing so is a punishable offence under section 188 of the Indian Penal Code. The documents need to be submitted to the police for verification are:
- copies of the police verification form, duly signed by the landlord
- Two photo identity proofs of the tenant, from among the acceptable proofs mentioned in form
- Proof of permanent address of the tenant
- Photocopy of the photo identity proof of the landlord
- Two passport size photos of the tenant
- Photocopy of the lease/rent agreement
- Rent Agreement – A rent agreement contains all the clauses and terms of the tenancy as agreed upon by the tenant and the landlord. Both the parties are bound by this agreement. Further, it is important for the tenant to get access to basic necessities like gas connection, electricity and water connection etc. It must include –
- Title document establish the ownership of the landlord
- Name, father's name and address of both the landlord and tenant
- Name of the occupants
- Rent and mode of payment.

The Gittler Guitar has a very interesting history. You can read plenty about it in this brilliant Vintage Guitar article. Avraham Bar Rashi (formerly Allan Gittler) designed this revolutionary instrument. How do we describe it… it's a six-string instrument with a pickup for each string. The stainless steel frets are bars pressure-fitted into the stainless steel neck, and the six pickups can be routed to separate outputs like a Kramer Ripley. The Museum of Modern Art has one in its collection, as does the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Avraham Bar Rashi passed away in 2003. But his designs live on! Check out the newly improved Gittler Guitar: 31 rounded frets, patented tuning machines, improved headstock design, active electronics and both standard 1/4″ and Hexaphonic outputs, a luminescent fret marking system… sure, it's not for everyone, but for those of us with a flair for the unusual it's beautiful.
You'll be able to check it out in person at NAMM 2013. Booth #1027, Hall E. I'll be sure to give it a spin and report back!

the politics of Peter Daou's invite list
For any progressive blogger worth their salt this was a kind of 'dream date:' lunch with Bill Clinton and a group of peers for a freewheeling debate on the issues of the day two months out from a major election.
According to the participants the event went really well. You can read the reports on their blogs:
Now, as word of the Clinton lunch...and photos of it...spread throughout the blogosphere, a question arose: "Where were the bloggers of color?"
First, blogger terrance of the Republic of T (who self-describes as "Black, Gay, Father, Vegetarian, Buddhist, and Liberal") wrote a piece on September 13th entitled Write Your own Caption which featured photos of the event's participants and asked, "Notice Anything?" His readers did. The first comment noted:
Well, It may not really be a caption, but the first thing I thought was...Dang Bill! Where are the black people. I know you noticed.
Next, linking to terrance's post, Liza Sabater of Daily Gotham and Culture Kitchen, followed up that question with a post entitled: To Peter Daou and the DailyKos Crowd... where she asked:
What does it mean though that there are 20 bloggers invited to this lunch and not one is black or latino? What does it mean for this group of bloggers to be patting themselves on the backs for being with Clinton when they are all in Harlem and not one of them is a person of color? What does it mean for these people to be there and have not one of them raise this issue in their blogs?
I think terrance and Liza's questions aren't just good questions. I think the point they make isn't just a good point that one can take or leave like we're discussing the finer points of trade tariffs or a Cable TV bill. Let me put it in no uncertain terms, if the progressive blogosphere can't come up with real answers to these questions and a plan to make sure this never happens again, then the blogosphere isn't worth a damn. This isn't a minor blip or an ego thing as some have portrayed it; this is a wake up call.
The irony of a soul food lunch at Clinton's Harlem offices served to a group of future leaders of the Democratic Party that did not include African Americans and Latinos is too rich and too bitter not to note. To be frank, it echoes in some ways the experience at Yearlykos in Las Vegas where the dailykos community learned just how racially diverse we in attendence...weren't. For myself, I can't write a post titled "time to get real" one day, and then play "let's pretend the invisibility of bloggers of color at the Clinton event was okay" the next.
Friends, we are better than this. This is 2006, not 1953.
When we blog, our readers cannot see the color of our skin tone. That is true. It defines this online world. But that is no excuse that bloggers of color should be invisible at a meeting of our leaders with Bill Clinton in Harlem...or anywhere for that matter.
Now, there were 14 great bloggers at that event. All of them leaders and writers I respect and count as colleagues. They didn't plan the event. They didn't draw up the guest list. But somebody did. And, yeah, that somebody does deserve some blame. There needs to be some accountabilty here.
Peter Daou, the event's organizer, has a letter in response to Liza that she published at her blog. It reads like this:
Hi Liza -
several bloggers were invited who couldn't attend, including Oliver Willis (who you didn't mention in your post). Also, I was told that more events like that are planned, and there will be an opportunity to invite bloggers who didn't attend the first one.
So respectfully, you may have reached a conclusion without all the facts.
P.S. Feel free to publish this email as an update to your post.
I have more than a little problem with that non-answer. You see, we're in the home stretch of a very important election season and when I look around me at my colleagues and fellow Democratic activists here in Oakland I don't think that "opportunities in the future" cuts it. I don't think that mentioning by name the one person of color who was invited but couldn't make it is a proper or remotely adequate way to address this mistake. (I'm pretty sure that Senator Clinton would agree.)
I have a sincere message to Peter Daou: Peter, straight up, you led the way into this situation, now is the time for you to start leading the way out. In turn, all of us need to answer some questions. How did this happen? How can we make sure it doesn't happen again?
With or without a lone African-American, the face of the Democratic Party does not look like that picture. Every single last one of us on the blogs knows it. We can't be the party to take on Senator George Allen for his racial slurs one day and then ignore our own hypcrisy the next. It may well be, as we learned at Yearlykos, that the liberal blogosphere is significantly more white than the Democratic Party at large. Our response to that challenge should not be to shrug it off. Our job, in fact, is to address it.
We are better than this and we need to take this moment as a wake up call. We need to start a discussion that does not stop till we've built structures that get beyond this BS. That won't be easy. That will involve clashes of egos and words and agendas; everything worth doing does. But, friends, as Democrats, that is our job.
We bloggers are only as good as our words. If we can't take steps to learn from this mistake, we aren't worth the words we type.
How we rise to this challenge will be a yardstick that we measure ourselves by. Terrance and Liza have posed the challenge and the question: how will the blogosphere respond?

PROFILE | Maury Cesair
What is your area of study?
My area of study is Fashion Design and Merchandising. I joined the School of Architecture fall 2011 and I will graduate in May 2014.
What do you plan on doing with your degree?
Now that I have almost earned my degree, I have developed my skills and knowledge of fashion design and apparel development. I have also learned how to manage and operate a business. With my degree, I plan on starting my own clothing line and hope to expand into other ventures to eventually create a lifestyle brand.
What first interested you in the SIU School of Architecture and why did you choose SIU instead of another school?
As an Illinois Army Veteran, I received a 100% tuition grant to pursue my education at any public Illinois university or college. As I was interested in fashion, SIU was the only public university that offered a fashion program with several specialization options.
What was your greatest challenge in the program?
My greatest challenge in the program was learning to have a delicate hand. As you can image… in the military, you do a lot of things roughly. I overcame this challenge by practicing being delicate with the fabric.
What is your advice to students who may be thinking about applying to the Fashion Design & Merchandising program?
If you love something and have a passion for it, pursue it. Don't let anyone deter you from your goals. The programs in the School of Architecture are demanding and require a lot of time, but don't be discouraged… it's well worth it.

The Maryland Oral Health Summit
The Maryland Oral Health Summit convened in October 2012, in partnership between the Maryland Dental Action Coalition and the Santa Fe Group. Following news of the death in 2007 of a 12-year-old Maryland boy, Deamonte Driver, from an untreated dental infection that had spread to his brain shocked the nation, spurred the state of Maryland to immediate action. The state's response and continued vigilance have been watched closely by other states for lessons learned and paths to take in search of optimal health outcomes.
The momentum created by Maryland's activities led to the Maryland Oral Health Summit, a meeting held in Columbia, Maryland, bringing some 150 attendees together to review changes and challenges to oral health in Maryland and nationwide, hear about programs in place or planned, and take part in a priority-setting exercise in relation to the first 5-year Maryland Oral Health Plan (2011-2015) launched in May 2011. The Summit was co-sponsored by the Maryland Dental Action Coalition (MDAC), which developed the Plan, and the Santa Fe Group. It was designed to build on experiences within and beyond the state and to develop strategies toward maximizing the oral health of all individuals, especially vulnerable populations.
Background papers and commentary was compiled in a Special Issue of the Journal of Public Health Dentistry – Winter 2012.

Pussytoes and Cinquefoil
A quickie post today. This is yesterday's journal entry but I had no time to post it. Instead I slapped the book shut, stuck it in my suitcase and jumped into the car to drive to the cabin in North Carolina. Now here I sit on my neighbor's porch, looking out at the beautiful view and writing this, barely remembering the heat of yesterday's pipeline. Awww... poor me.

Hickory Nuts & Eyed Click Beetle
It was a nice breezy morning on the pipeline. There were blue skies, and it was quiet except for the high buzz of cicadas in the trees. I was poking around at the edge of the woods, comparing the different kinds of Thoroughwort that grows there when I noticed two hickory nuts snuggled in the messy-tree-stuff (a highly scientific term) under a pine tree. Some squirrel had probably brought the nuts here to eat and left the empty "containers" there for all to see... litterbug! Anyway, I liked the way they looked and settled to draw them. While I was drawing there was a sudden buzzy sound and blam! a huge beetle flew right into my leg and dropped onto the pad I was sitting on. I recognized him immediately as a friendly Click Beetle because I've seen one before. The huge eyes had fooled me way back then. He is scary looking if you think those eyes are real. Since i knew he was just a fake, and not at all dangerous I stayed cool, calm and collected.... I began drawing him. He was still for a bit, then slowly started walking away. I moved him back three times so as to get a better view of him. He finally scritch-scratched his way into the dry, fallen leaves of the woods. Two Northern Flickers (woodpeckers) flew into the woods behind me and called their funny Woika! Roika! They pecked around a while then flew without further comment.
The bright yellow of the tiny poplar leaf popped out from the drab colors of the forest floor behind where I sat. It was such a happy color I wanted to add it to today's page - a reminder of the shortening days as we move deep into summer, towards fall.

Dwarf Paw Paw
A front passed through yesterday, and although there were storms all around to be seen and heard, our particular spot didn't get a drop of needed rain. However, the cool, dry breeze this morning was perfect for my hike on the pipeline. I took my journal, but hiking the hills felt so good I didn't stop until I was in the woods coming home and passed by one of our hundreds of Dwarf Paw Paws and happened to see a fruit dangling from a limb. I decided to draw it.
To get a good angle for drawing I had to sit on the ground so that I was eye-level with the paw paw which dangles under leaves. This was a great set-up for about... hmm... five minutes. Then the insects found me. Bzzzzz went the bees, chomp went the mosquitos. Gnats showed up to flit around my eyes and ears. Flies buzzed around and around somewhere behind where I sat. They weren't bothering me directly, but I could hear their constant noise, closer, further away. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ZZZZZZZ zzzzzzz ZZZZZ zzzzzzzzz ZZZZZZZ zzzzzzzzz ZZZZZ zzzzz ZZZZZZZ I felt bites and had to scratch and/or kill mosquitos, spider and beetles scritched around in the leaf litter... All in all not a wonderful day to be journaling outside. The Paw Paw drawing is a labor of love, no doubt about it.
Two small feathers were found at the furthest end of our section of pipeline. They are very soft...not sure what bird they're from. Rufous-sided Towhees called to me all along the way to "Drink-your-teaaaaaaa!" Cicadas were grinding away in the trees.

Trees in Fruit
Kayaking Lake Craig (a fishing lake in our nearby state park) is one of the best of summer day activities. Today, in particular, was special. It was overcast and breezy and warm, apparently the perfect combination for every species of dragonfly and damselfly to come out and play, or work, as some were breeding and/or laying eggs just beneath the water surface. Amberwings, White Tailed, Twelve Spots, Green Darners, Brown Spotted Yellowings, Bluets, Green Clearwings, and others that wouldn't stop long enough for us to see. They zipped and buzzed around near the shore, entertaining us when they'd come close and sometimes land on our boats or paddles. Some were dip dip dipping their ovipositors into the water to lay eggs, some seemed to be chasing others... Through binoculars we saw that they were skimming the water out as far as we could see.
At the back end of the lake, near where Kelsey Creek comes in, there is an island covered in sedge, nettles, grasses, and the tall purple Monkey Flower. Here we sat and watched more dragonflies and damselflies. Continuing up the creek, we were thrilled to hear the "witchity witchity" call of Common Yellowthroats as they called back and forth from one side of the creek to the other. After much searching with binocs we found one in a small Riverbirch, his bright yellow throat and black mask obvious only once we found him, which took me some time. He doesn't move around much, and his olive back blends so well with the leafy canopy you can't see him from the back. We also saw two Great Blue Herons, a Green Heron preening in a snag, two Red-Bellied Woodpeckers, and Indigo Buntings. As we were floating quietly, taking it all in, an Eastern Kingbird flew out from a nearby bush and snapped up a dragonfly lunch just six feet above my head! I heard it SNAP! Whirligig Beetles twirled around us in the slow moving water.
Trees of all kinds were in fruit around the lake. We first found the Carolina Basswood dangling its green berries over the water from leafy bracts. Then we paddled under the drooping branches of a Carolina Silverbell. The four-winged seed pods are quite distinctive, but we had no idea what they were! Ironwood was easy, then came what turned out to be a huge Possumhaw Viburnum. The lower branches had fruit, but there were a few blooms on the upper branches to help us id it. We thought it would be a Viburnum of some kind, but there are so many! We broke branches of all to bring home for identifying and for me to draw.
Several hours later thunder beyond the trees gave us a reason to turn and paddle back. It's always hard to leave that beautiful place, but today we moved with record speed!

Blunt-leaved Milkweed Seedpod
Morning on the pipeline was overcast, cool (65ish deg?), and breezy-like-the-beach, the steady dampish breeze that makes you glad you wore a long-sleeved shirt. Daisy and Radu dashed in circles, and then ahead while I stopped to button up. "Come on, Mom!" they said, in body language. It was wonderful to be outside again, wandering the woods and fields around Middlewood. Birds were singing and crickets buzzing, the Carolina Locusts fluttered as they leapt out of my way. I love seeing their black wings with wide pale yellow borders as they fly and land 8 or so feet away. Their drab brown bodies disappear in the dry grass until you approach once more and zzzzzp! Off they go again.
Flowers blooming this morning: Man of the Earth, a vine in the morning glory family, with large white blooms with deep purple throats; the early goldenrod (rough-stemmed perhaps?), tiny yellow pencil flower, Woodland Sunflowers (that have held the same blooms for weeks now), Flowering Spurge, Joe Pye Weed, Whorled Coreopsis, remnants of Common Fleabane, down near the creek was Pale Indian Plantain, and near the edge of the woods: delicate white spiraled Slender Ladies' Tresses, a beautiful little orchid.
Buds: Boneset and it's twin (flower but not leaves!) Hyssop-leaved Boneset, the Joe Pyes that had been cropped by deer, and some asters.
I stopped to draw the milkweed plant and sat at the best angle for the seedpod, my back to the wind, which allowed gnats to find my face. Otherwise, all went well until near the end when Daisy came to sit beside the plant. She was so sweet, sitting there watching me.... then in a split second she leaned over and chomped at the seedpod! DAISY, NO! I called. She jumped away, but milky sap started running down the stem. I hope it will be ok and the seed pod will continue to dry. There is nothing in nature more beautiful than the split milkweed pod with it's delicate seeds bursting out. I hope to draw it this year!

Four and a half Mushrooms
I'm back! I thought it would be Wednesday, but I was asked to do a bit more, so it went a bit longer. As soon as I delivered the stack of paintings on Friday I hightailed it to our tiny cottage outside of Waynesville for a needed rest. This afternoon I wandered around our hilltop to see what has been happening up here since I was last here in early June. The most obvious change is the size of the Jewelweed. It has grown quite large, easily three feet high, if not more. The plants are full of their delicate yellow or orange flowers, each dangling from a leaf base. The blooms that I admired in early June are now gone to seed.
The mushrooms (above) are growing on the steep hill very near our cabin. They are a startling color, especially seen rising from the drab brownish gray leaf litter, and appear to be marching down the hill. The second mushroom from the bottom is actually two stems (one much smaller than the other) whose caps grew together into one. I believe they are Bolete mushrooms, but it is quite awkward to try to see under the caps in deep shade, and I can't bring myself to pull one up just for my passing scientific interest. They have the Bolete look and sturdiness (I tried to lean one over enough to see underneath... but it wouldn't move) so I'm going to assume that's what they are.
One good thing about being here this weekend is that the Raspberries that grow all along the narrow dirt lanes are ripe! They fall into your hand at the slightest touch and are so sweet! So, now that I have posted this I am off to pick berries for tomorrow morning's oatmeal.

Pomegranate and Wild Campanula
Beside the farmhouse's eastern terrace grows a huge shrub that on one trip was covered with these strange looking flowers. I had no idea what it was - assumed it was just an unknown "French" plant. I have since realized that we obviously arrived early enough to see the very end of bloom time for this Pomegranate bush. What I thought was a flower are the thick sepals, the petals having fallen off into the leaf litter below the terrace. The fruits were already growing, but as you see, rather misshapen compared to pomegranates that come to mind, which are smoother. Regardless, I think this is a pomegranate of some variety.
The Wild Campanula stalk rose from a crown of fuzzy leaves growing in the rocky soil under the olive trees. In all the years we've been there, the "yard" has never been neatly manicured, so beautiful surprises can (and do) pop up anywhere.

Snails, Cypress Cones, and a Mulberry
The title of this post says much about the grounds around the old mas, or farmhouse. The snails are found everywhere - the smallest, about the size of a pinky fingernail, like to climb to the tip of grass blades and hang out there all day. They look like small white flowers from a distance. The larger shells are seen dotted here and there amongst the shrubbery, along with chunks of limestone and flint nodules ( broken occasionally and showing their deep reddish brown conchoidal fractures), as well as various kinds of pine and cypress cones.
Tall, narrow cypress trees line a portion of the drive. They are also grown as a windbreak around the pool, although I can't imagine swimming while the Mistral is blowing. We experienced several days of Mistral winds one year, and I can tell you, swimming is far, far from your mind as you stagger around hoping you don't get blown over onto the pavement. The thick stone walls of the mas, built with blocking Mistral winds in mind, has only one small window along the whole length of the back wall, attesting to the strength of the wind. There is one tall Cypress tree on the western side of the house, deep green against the towering honey-colored stone chimney. You can pick out the house from above (in Gordes) by gazing downhill toward the east and searching for that tree/chimney combination.
The front slate terrace is shaded by a fairly large Mulberry tree. Its horizontal limbs reach up and over a standing adult's head and drop juicy black fruit onto the stones. Yes, kind of messy, but they taste very sweet. The terrace, with its low sitting wall is a good place to have afternoon wine and cheese, and baguettes fresh from one of the local boulangeries.

Tiny Morning Glory
These are flowers from around the farmhouse in which we were staying... the tiny morning glory was growing in rocky soil amidst a long row of lavender that lined the drive. The bloom was the size of a nickle. The pink flower was probably a garden planting some time ago. The leaves were gray, which set off the pink flowers beautifully. I don't know the name of this one, however I am becoming more determined to identify all that I drew on this trip. I have a field guide, but as it's written in French and the pictures are tiny, it doesn't help one bit. What now?
Another trip to Provence is definitely coming to mind!

Centranthus rubrum
Another amazing sight throughout the Provence countryside is the wild Centranthus that grows with abandon in the old limestone walls. The narrow lanes of the perch villages are pretty much lined with honey-colored stacked-stone walls of various heights, depending on whether it is holding back a hill or keeping cars and bikes from going over the edge. They are of various patterns (basketweave is my favorite), but always topped with a line of vertical stones, like books on a shelf. From many of the crevices spill the deep rose mounds of Centranthus. The rich-rose flowers seen against the honey walls is a beautiful (and unforgettable) sight.
The other flower is in the carrot family, similar to Queen Ann's Lace, but with a little extra lace around the edge and a bit larger. Don't know the name.

text: Two months ago when we moved from Colorado to California, I suffered a hand infection (cellulitis) and for a week kept my right hand elevated while IV antibiotics were administrated. During this time I didn't do any writing, but I checked email and sent messages. I suddenly learned to do things left handed. As an example I operated my computer mouse with my left hand. At first this felt unnatural, and I couldn't keep the cursor in the correct spot, but with practice I became almost as proficient as with my right hand. Now that I'm fully recovered, I've continued to use the mouse left handed. Who says older people can't change?

Meet Ginger!
Meet Jeff!
They're your new Smashing Pumpkins!
Yes, these two newcomers join seminal Pumpkins Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin on tour for the new album Zeitgeist.
Their addition is supposedly controversial! But really, I'm just posting their names so I don't end up calling them "fake D'Arcy" and "fake James Iha". Though "fake James Iha" rolls so deliciously off of the tongue.
I don't expect Jeff and Ginger to play guitar so well as to erase all of my teenage memories of the band, but… Let's put it this way: the single for "Tarantula" did not upset me. At all. I kinda liked it!
Besides, it could have ended up much worse. Check out this fantasy Pumpkins lineup from 2005—predicting a 2008 reunion featuring Courtney Love! What?!
Everybody knows there's only one celebrity addition you can make to an essentially defunct band: Buckethead.

By Elissaveta Grigorova
*This blog post is part of the Jean Monnet Chair of European Media Governance and Integration series
Right-wing populism enjoys a new extent of political relevance, and is no longer a phenomenon, bound specifically to Western politics. The recent European-wide environment of crises fuels dissatisfaction with the existing system, and therefore, greater demand for radical alternatives. Far-right parties and movements have already made their way into numerous national and local representative institutions across Europe, and undoubtedly account for a variety of challenges and transformations in the global political debate. Their growing popularity accounts for a constant state of alertness on the side of mainstream parties and the citizens supporting their values, as well as political scientists. Europe is, therefore, in perpetual anxious anticipation of what is the populist right going to do next, with all eyes turning to general, local and European Parliament elections across the Old Continent.
But what would a far-right populist holding a leading or a governing position mean for the future of European and global politics? And what are the concerns if they do not?
Within the past three decades, far-right populists have already claimed a substantial part of the votes in their respective national governments across Europe and within the EU structures, but their political presence and impact are not necessarily bound to parliament seats. Elected or not, the radical populist right of Europe plays a significant role in shaping the face of party values and the process of competition. Thus, Europe still needs to beware of a number of potential challenges underlying in an officialised swing to the far-right. Whilst the electoral success of far-right populist parties in Europe could be justified with the recent prominence of economic inequality and the quest for quicker and simpler addressing of issues in radical right agendas, the ideological and functional imprint of the populist right is what we see more of in the long term.
Just last year, presidential elections in Austria demonstrated an almost half-and-half split in voter preference, and despite the election of the first Green president in the country, one could already acknowledge the efforts of mainstream parties to level the playing field with the populist right by a considerable shift. French presidential elections followed, again with considerable division of votes between left and right, and with an almost switched party rhetoric. In the UK, right-wing populism convincingly campaigned a decision as major as leaving the European Union. The list continues, as European citizens hold their breath for the number of general elections to be held by the end of 2017.
Active in government or not, the radical populist right of Europe exerts an immense impact on politics, ranging from different levels of radicalisation of mainstream parties, to decisions as big as the future of the European Union. Alongside, several ideological 'side effects' occur: the populist right of Eastern Europe promotes distrust in the media, while the West begins to doubt the feasibility of the EU as an establishment and as a project. The overall political debate experiences a variety of shifts, as the populist right rhetoric introduces newer, 'hotter' topics and speedy, simple solutions. The appeal of the traditional populist 'us-and-them' dichotomy is understandable in an environment of crisis, spurring economic and social changes; however, what is frightening for the future of mainstream European politics is the growing number of 'them' right-wing populists introduce and the swift transitions of rhetoric other movements should undergo to remain in the race.
Simply not being elected is no longer a feasible long-term solution for deterring populist radicalisation, as it results in further generating voter support, and launching a myriad of other implications. Neither should be a far-right shift of mainstream politics, as it would, essentially be at odds with the fundamental values and functions of the European project. With radical right on its way to mainstream-isation and growing popularity, it can no longer be ostracised, but a balance in co-operation should be sought at all costs. Both European and national parliaments need fresh techniques for asserting their fundamental values, establishing an efficient channel of communication between parties, and presenting their functions in a manner, transparent and comprehensible enough not to put them in a 'them' category of any party dichotomy.

Risk Management
Risk Management
Chapter 5 Part 1 Section 164(1) (a) and (b) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 require to keep a written record stating risks Council's operations are exposed to, to the extent they are relevant to financial management and the control measures adopted to manage the risks. In compliance with legislation, Council has adopted a Risk Management Policy and established a Risk Management Committee.
Importance of Risk Management
Enterprise risk management emerges from Council's intent to effectively and efficiently manage risks that may have an impact on the achievement of strategic priorities, operational goals and project objectives as defined in the Corporate and Operational Plans.
An effective enterprise risk management will:
- Contribute to the achievement of strategic priorities
- Facilitate open and transparent communication and consultation between Councillors, the Executive Team, managers and employees in defining aspects related to the identification, analysis, evaluation and treatment of strategic, operational and project risks Council is exposed to
- Enhance corporate governance by promoting a structured and systematic approach to Council's decision-making processes
- Promote a proactive and dynamic perspective in handling and monitoring emerging new risks
- Recognise the capabilities, perceptions and intentions of external and internal stakeholders that can facilitate or deter the achievement of organisational objectives
- Facilitate continual improvement of the organisation
Risk Management Framework
The Enterprise Risk Management Framework (PDF) determines the accountability and authority for managing risk. It also specifies the responsibility for implementing the enterprise risk management process.
Risk Management Process
The risk management process applied throughout Council is guided by the AS/NZS 31000:2009 model. This model provides a systematic method of identifying, analysing and prioritising risks that require treatment plans and immediate management action.
Communicate and consult
Throughout the process for managing risk, communication and consultation with all stakeholders will take place. A consultative team approach helps to appropriately establish the context, ensure the adequate identification of risks, bring together the expertise required for analysing and evaluating risks and secure endorsement and support for the treatment plan.
Communication and consultation should facilitate truthful, relevant, accurate and understandable exchanges of information, taking into account confidential and personal integrity aspects.
Establish the context
Establishing the context basically encompasses a broad understanding of Council's operations; the external and internal environment in which it operates and the factors that have major impact on the achievement of its objectives.
Risk identification
Potential risks that need to be managed are identified. The sources of risk, areas of impact, events and change in circumstances, their causes and potential consequences are to be identified for the purpose of generating a comprehensive list of risks that may have a major influence in the creation of opportunities or prevent the achievement of Council's strategic priorities, operational goals and project objectives.
Risk Analysis
Risk is analysed by determining the positive and negative consequences and the likelihood of causes and sources of risk. By combining the evaluation of likelihood and consequences, a level of risk is ascertained. The effectiveness and efficiency of existing controls to mitigate the risk are also taken into consideration.
Risk Evaluation
Risk evaluation entails ascertaining the acceptability of the risk. It involves the comparison of the level of risk determined in the risk analysis with the established risk evaluation criteria
Risk Treatment
Risk treatment involves choosing one or more alternatives for controlling or managing risks and implementing these alternatives.
Monitor and review
Monitoring and review of the risk management process is necessary to ensure that controls are effective and efficient, the external and internal context are up to date, the risk criteria and framework are relevant. The effectiveness of plans and strategies employed to manage and control risks will be reviewed and monitored.
Application of Risk Management
Council is committed to embed the risk management process into:
- Organisational culture
- Decision making processes
- Strategic Planning
- Operational Planning
- Projects, Programs and Events
- Business and Financial Processes
Risk assessment will be conducted:
- When major decisions are to be made
- When key strategies are to be developed
- As part of operational planning
- Prior to commencement and at key milestones of important projects and programs
- When existing processes are improved or upgraded
- When new processes are designed or developed

Be warned oh teachers at my school! I am in the midst of creating an iPad in the Classroom survey in order to gage our progress with this new fangled device. As I want to ask the questions in person in order to get a better feel for where people are, I am not going to publish it online until I have the results, but I thought the search for an app that can do what I needed was interesting enough to post.
Okay, the word interesting might be stretching it a little…
I ended up using polldaddy, which is the poll tool attached to wordpress ( same company, same account). Although the app allows you to take the survey with a nice clean interface, it does not allow you to create a poll.
Still I came across a couple of good survey making tools, one for teachers but not necessarily exclusive to the iPad:
And this wiki that lists a bunch of apps for data collecting, survey taking and other statistics related activity:
I used poll daddy because A: there is a free version B: I wanted to be able to add long answers C: I wanted to be mobile with the survey and collect the answers on my iPad D: because it allowed me to take my survey offline ( I didn't need to be connected to the internet in order to access it, but I will be able to sync the answers when I am readdy to view the results!)

Timer Obscure Behaviour
Timer Global Circuit
Relation between Timer and Divider register
This is a schematic of the circuit involving TAC and DIV:
Notice how the values that are connected to the inputs of the multiplexer are the values of those bits, not the carry of those bits. This is the reason of a few things:
- When writing to DIV, the whole counter is reseted, so the timer is also affected.
- When writing to DIV, if the current output is '1' and timer is enabled, as the new value after reseting DIV will be '0', the falling edge detector will detect a falling edge and TIMA will increase.
- When writing to TAC, if the previously selected multiplexer input was '1' and the new input is '0', TIMA will increase too. This doesn't happen when the timer is disabled, but it also happens when disabling the timer (the same effect as writing to DIV). The following code explains the behaviour in DMG and MGB.
clocks_array[4] = {1024, 16, 64, 256} old_clocks = clocks_array[old_TAC&3] new_clocks = clocks_array[new_TAC&3] old_enable = old_TAC & BIT(2) new_enable = new_TAC & BIT(2) sys_clocks = 16 bit system counter IF old_enable == 0 THEN glitch = 0 (*) ELSE IF new_enable == 0 THEN glitch = (sys_clocks & (old_clocks/2)) != 0 ELSE glitch = ((sys_clocks & (old_clocks/2)) != 0) && ((sys_clocks & (new_clocks/2)) == 0) END IF END IF
The sentence marked with a (*) has a different behaviour in GBC (AGB and AGS seem to have strange behaviour even in the other statements). When enabling the timer and maintaining the same frequency it doesn't glitch. When disabling the timer it doesn't glitch either. When another change of value happens (so timer is enabled after the write), the behaviour depends on a race condition, so it cannot be predicted for every device.
Timer Overflow Behaviour
When TIMA overflows, the value from TMA is loaded and IF timer flag is set to 1, but this doesn't happen immediately. Timer interrupt is delayed 1 cycle (4 clocks) from the TIMA overflow. The TMA reload to TIMA is also delayed. For one cycle, after overflowing TIMA, the value in TIMA is 00h, not TMA. This happens only when an overflow happens, not when the upper bit goes from 1 to 0, it can't be done manually writing to TIMA, the timer has to increment itself.
For example (SYS is the system internal counter divided by 4 for easier understanding, each increment of the graph is 1 cycle, not 1 clock):
Timer overflows: [A] [B] SYS FD FE FF |00| 01 02 03 TIMA FF FF FF |00| 23 23 23 TMA 23 23 23 |23| 23 23 23 IF E0 E0 E0 |E0| E4 E4 E4 Timer doesn't overflow: [C] SYS FD FE FF 00 01 02 03 TIMA 45 45 45 46 46 46 46 TMA 23 23 23 23 23 23 23 IF E0 E0 E0 E0 E0 E0 E0
- During the strange cycle [A] you can prevent the IF flag from being set and prevent the TIMA from being reloaded from TMA by writing a value to TIMA. That new value will be the one that stays in the TIMA register after the instruction. Writing to DIV, TAC or other registers won't prevent the IF flag from being set or TIMA from being reloaded.
- If you write to TIMA during the cycle that TMA is being loaded to it [B], the write will be ignored and TMA value will be written to TIMA instead.
- If TMA is written the same cycle it is loaded to TIMA [B], TIMA is also loaded with that value.
- This is a guessed schematic to explain the priorities with registers TIMA and TMA:
TMA is a latch. As soon as it is written, the output shows that value. That explains that when TMA is written and TIMA is being incremented, the value written to TMA is also written to TIMA. It doesn't affect the IF flag, though.

LOL!! I am so proud of myself. I have learnt quite a bit over the weekend so far. I might just be capable of pulling this off.
I was getting Widget happy here. Just about added every widget in the widget section, not knowing what each was for. Just wanted my page to have some content. 🙂 Now some have been deleted, and others customized. Thanks to the generous tutors on www. youtube.com for contributing in this learning experience. I have been able to rearrange the widgets on the sidebar and insert an image within my post. Hurray! You might start seeing some of my work finally. Thanks for being patient. Have a safe and blessed Sunday.

|Captains plus Will
The 2015 season is officially in the history books. This season was special to everyone on multiple levels, and even though we were disappointed by the loss in the NCAA Team Championship match, no Panther kept his tail between his legs for long because there were so many high points during our journey to this match.
Since I'm sure most have been following our results in Cincinnati closely, I'll highlight some lesser-known points of the championships. I'll start this post in the way that I end most posts, by dishing out kudos, as they are well deserved.
What an effort by our guys! They put so much passion into the tournament both with their preparation and their play. To put that much mentally and emotionally into accomplishing a goal shows amazing fortitude and thus the first, and most important, kudos go out to every member of the team for their passion and commitment.
|Banger Bros!
A large recognition goes out to all the guys who didn't see the court while in Cincinnati but were with us every step of the way pushing everyone to the peak of their abilities. Weather it was tweeting about our results, offering valuable input during team meetings, or being at every practice with a racket in hand ready to jump in, everyone played a big part in this year's success.
The parents who made the trip and those that supported us along the way are greatly appreciated and all your help, including the fantastic dinner Wednesday night, contributed greatly to our success and enjoyment.
Now for some match specific acknowledgements:
We mounted a very impressive doubles sweep in the quarterfinals, on indoor courts, against, dare I say it, the National Indoor Tournament Champions. Yes folks, they were crowned the top indoor team in the country this year and we came out and put a 3-0 sweep on them in the doubles. After doubles, Jackson and Will would seal the match 5-0 for us. Speaking of Jackson Frons, what on earth did he eat for breakfast before both this match and the semifinal match against Chicago? I kid you not, Jackson came out in both matches swinging at forehands and moving like Marat Safin. And we all know he's got the looks to match!
|Bring in the Secret Weapon
Additionally, Will logged two impressive wins at the 5 spot against Trinity and Chicago. Will's game really blossomed this spring and these two victories are a testament to his efforts.
In the final match against Claremont, we came in ready for the moment and well prepared. We weren't overwhelmed at the opportunity before us or suffering from a lack of belief. We came out to play hard but simply ran into a team that was too good for us on that day. Hats off to Claremont for wielding an impressive team and a strong effort.
We're extremely proud of our guys for their openness to take on the challenge of aiming to win it all, but at the same time, staying grounded on the special season we had despite coming up just short.
Before leaving Midd for the tournament, guys offered up these season highlights:
-Regaining the NESCAC crown.
-Edging Emory in what many would call the DIII match of the year.
-Coming away with "The Thriller in Redlands" match.
-Ari winning three of four fall events and being the top ranked player in our region.
-Noah being named the NESCAC Rookie of the Year
-Defeating Bowdoin a third time to claim the NCAA Regional Title
|Power doubles players
Also, congratulations to Peter and Palmer for reaching the semifinals of the individual doubles draw. They notched an impressive win in the first round against a talented Mary Washington team, and an even more impressive win against the top duo from Wash U on stadium court. Particularly in their second round win, Peter and Palmer played at a level previously unseen by Bob and myself. Palmer, again and again, made plays on the ball that resembled LeBron James driving to the hoop. On several occasions through out the match, Bob and I looked at each other thinking 'where did Palmer learn to ball like that!?'
Before I sign off for the summer, please enjoy the following pictures showing the adventures of Midd Tennis!

Guitarz readers will appreciate that the instrument was not a creation of the new metal movement, nor was it invented by Steve Vai or Alex Gregory. The first electric seven-stringer was probably a Gretsch hollowbody made for jazz guitarist George Van Eps in the late 1960s, although he had been playing acoustic 7-string jazz guitar since the late 1930s when he used a custom-made Epiphone.
But 7-string guitars were around long before this. Both Russian and Brazilian music had developed 7-string guitars as part of their culture. The Russian 7-string dates to beginning of the 19th century and utilised an open G tuning (DGBDGbd). It was said to have been invented by Russian guitarist and composer Andrei Sychra who wrote a method for the 7-sting guitar and a whole wealth of compositions for the instrument.
In Brazil the 7-string guitar was introduced in the early 20th century as an accompaniment instrument in choro and samba music. It is traditionally tuned as a standard 6-string with the addition of a low C string, although some guitarists took this down to a (more logical perhaps) low B.
In 18th century Europe, the baroque guitar evolved from an instrument with 5 courses to one with 6 courses - initially the courses were paired strings but later the consensus of popularity favoured single strings as is common today - so it was perfectly natural that someone would take this a stage further and add a 7th course (or string). Those advocating the 7-string guitar included French guitarist Napoleon Coste (1805–1883) who composed specifically for the instrument, and the Italian guitarist Mario Maccaferri (born 1900) who used additional unfretted bass strings (known as diapasons or bourdons) on his guitars.
The above pictured guitar is an Italian 7-string by Ermelinda Silvestri and dates to the mid 1890s. In keeping with most of Silvestri's instruments it bears the butterfly inlay which was a trademark of sorts. The seventh string seems to be very close to the edge of the fingerboard, which suggests that it wasn't intended to be fretted and would have been a diapason (or bourdon if you prefer).
This repaired but still playable antique 7-string guitar is currently listed on eBay with a Buy It Now price of $1,450.

The world has always been fascinated by the fact that we are not the only intelligent being in this universe. We seek the truth about UFO, Aliens, Extra terrestrial, and other unexplainable phenomenon. If you are going to browse the Internet, you'll find millions and millions of articles with regards to the topic . There are web sites designed to cater such curiosity of the public and feed their hunger in finding out the truth. Some are misleading, some are just gimmicks, and most are just pure science fiction. But what if there is truth behind all these, they wouldn't be famous over the Internet if there is no source of speculations.
How about Area 51? Area 51 is a military base, and a remote detachment of Edwards Air Force Base. It is located in the southern part of Nevada in the western United States, 83 miles (133 km) north-northwest of downtown Las Vegas. Situated at its center, on the southern shore of Groom Lake, is a large military airfield. The base's primary purpose is to support development and testing of experimental aircraft and weapons systems. Because of the tight military restriction on Area 51 its been targeted by conspiracy theories such as it was the containment area of a crashed alien space craft and a place where extra terrestrial are met in close contacts.
Recent post from YouTube shows that UFO sightings are more frequent and footage are a lot clearer. They are also very disturbing. It seems that during natural calamities or disaster, UFO sightings are more often captured on videos. It really doesn't matter if you're a believer or skeptic its worth watching.

Tsunami on Japan
Volcano Merapi and Anak Krakata Indonesia Nov 2010

One of the most disturbing video I viewed in the Internet is this one… SERIOUSLY!!!

Seems like there are two issues. NO idea what swap is and it seems like other configuration work is needed for Docker. I have done nothign with docker other that the initial step in the beginning of getting the package that was already downloaded.
FYI, this is on the Ubuntu v16 VMWare image.
Thank you.

If you read the intro to the lab you will see that it mentions one will need to disable swap.
As for docker, were there any errors during package installation? What happens if you run sudo docker ps?
Thanks... So for swap I see there is mention of such but not a specific command. I found a set of commands to make that happen so hopefully those will work for me.
Sudo Docker PS, does not error. Is shows all the columns of dockers containers, but none exist0
It should be noted the docker message is a warning not an error. After I disabled swap it is installing0

Hi, the warning for Docker is harmless and can be ignored.

In the early going of Great Expectations there is a bare knuckled fight between a young Pip (Adam Sollis) and Herbert (Harry Richardson) started by the latter, won decisively by the former. They much later become fast friends. I mention this because it prompts the thought that I have been watching a World Heavyweight Title Fight all year between the respective third year musical theatre and acting classes at WAAPA. Two evenly matched opponents slugging it out and what a bout it has been!
If West Side Story is the crowning achievement of the musical theatre class in the red corner then the acting cohort in the blue corner have replied in stunning fashion with this production. To extend the boxing analogy, I had a ringside seat, front row centre, at the Geoff Gibbs Theatre. And what a view it was - a brilliant adaptation of the great novel, inventively staged and directed, with superb performances across the board.
The cast of seventeen actors are all given moments to shine as the adaptation features the use of a rotating chorus who vocalise Pip's innermost thoughts and provide ancillary characters as well as, amusingly, such things as dogs and gargoyles. The cast is in constant movement and this gives the play great energy and a unique treatment to one of the classics of Western literature.
But it's in the featured roles where impressive performances are everywhere:
Firstly, I doff my cap to Adam Sollis as Pip who is tremendous. From frightened young boy, to disgruntled apprentice, to eager suitor, to a gentleman in London living the high life, to a man whose newfound world crumbles around him as the revelations pile up in the second act, he gives such a likeable and convincing performance in the demanding central role.
Jonny Hawkins is wonderful as Joe Gargery, the simple blacksmith with a big heart. I spoke to him briefly afterwards to congratulate him on the show and his blistering performance in Festen and he said the trade-off for playing the devil in Festen was to play Joe, the complete opposite. He was in high spirits and clearly had fun in the role generating a lot of good-natured humour.
Emma Diaz is radiant as Estella, the object of Pip's affection. Pip is constantly asked by Miss Havisham if Estella is pretty and yes, Diaz is every bit the beauty here but plays the cold and heartless creature of Havisham's creation very well.
Alexis Lane is unrecognisable as Miss Havisham with grey, bedraggled hair, dirty wedding dress and stark make-up. She appeared to be relishing the role of the manipulative old woman whose heart was broken at the altar with a mischievous gleam in the eyes that was compelling.
Jane Watt shines as the (male) lawyer Jaggers and after final bows almost danced off stage and so she should be happy with her authoritative performance. Harry Richardson plays Herbert with a straightforward earnestness that I really enjoyed and Stephanie Tsindos is an honest, straight talking Biddy.
Alex Malone is a vigorous Mrs Joe and really propels the play in the early scenes. Likewise, Julio Machado provides an early comic turn as Pumblechook that sets up the lighter tone that is throughout the play though not so much in the latter stages of the second act as we get down to business with a series of revelations that actually require a lot of exposition and even the odd 'flashback' scene, one done very effectively in silhouette behind a white sheet.
Aleks Mikic is brutally in your face as the convict in the opening and has a much bigger presence in the second act as Magwitch makes his presence known to Pip. While a changed man and the source of Pip's good fortune, he can't help but be who he was conditioned to be as he attacks his nemesis Compeyson (Alexander Frank) to seal his downfall. Liam Maguire is suitably creepy and resentful as Orlick with Harriet Davies (Wemmick), Henry Hammersla, Joel Horwood, Kirsty Marillier, and Felicity McKay rounding out the cast in various roles and as part of the chorus.
The buzz at intermission and after the show was one of real excitement. I was talking with three young actors who have aspirations to go to WAAPA and how could you not be but inspired on the evidence of this outing. That and the fact there were two other high quality performances going on in the nearby venues. It was also great to see such good crowds all three nights that I have been at the Mount Lawley campus this week.
Directed by Andrew Lewis (also in high spirits after the show), Adapted from the Charles Dickens novel by Nick Ormerod and Declan Donnellan and featuring WAAPA's graduating acting class, there is only one show remaining at the Geoff Gibbs Theatre, Thursday 28 August at 7.30pm. If you can get a ticket definitely go and see it - a highlight of 2014.

You surrounded yourself with friends that are good for you.
Now it's time to JFDI.
Take the plans others have tailored to your goals and execute them. Follow your exercise plan. Do not deviate from the nutrition plan.
You'll se some pretty dramatic results at first. The lifestyle changes you've made will be such a sudden shock to the system, don't be surprised if you drop 5 lbs. that first week.
Word of caution, early results are atypical. As your body adjusts, you week to week loss will be an average of 1-2 lbs. Some weeks you may not lose a pound. Some weeks will be setbacks. (NB: I've found it helpful to buy my own scale that also does the body fat percentage. Declining BFP in a week where weight increased will show some of those setbacks are due to muscle gain outstripping fat loss).
As the good weeks outnumber the bad, soon the clothes won't fit and tailoring will have gone from a rear guard action to an exercise in futility.
It's time to replace the wardrobe.
I actually had to do this twice. I did a mini-replacement in the spring to get through my university commencement and spring sitting of Parliament. By the time fall came, actually by the time summer arrived, that stuff was too big. I did the wholesale replacement of the business wear in the fall and then went on my casual shopping spree in late November.
As you buy new clothes, you'll have to make room in the closet for the new stuff. What to do with old stuff?
In the age of EBay, Craigslist, and the like, there will be the temptation to sell off your stuff.
Take my advice: don't.
First, you have so much to sell and so many of the potential buyers are looking for something for nothing, it's more trouble than its worth.
Second, there will be so many people invested in your success, you will never be able to pay them back directly. Sure, the professional you hire to come up with a plan will be rewarded and they will have earned every nickel, but what of the Christians and Vickys? They helped you because they're your friends and they saw you for what you could be even if you didn't. How are you going to pay them back?
The simple answer is: you can't. The debt you owe them makes Chewbacca's Wookie life debt seem like a bummed cigarette in comparison. It is because of these people that your immediate life is better. When people ask how are you doing, you'll sound like a Charlie Sheen interview from spring 2011. You've added years to your lifespan. You more than look awesome. You are awesome.
That's not a debt one easily quantifies. Go ahead, try.
You can start by trying to help them realize their own goals. Vicky and I are about to embark on new challenge together. We'll be training together for the half-marathon for the Tamarack Homes Ottawa Race Weekend. We've already registered for race day and the Running Room's Half Marathon clinic. We also workout together at GrecoLeanandFit. I hope to be the positive force in her life in the next year that she has been in mine this past year.
BTW, if you're interested in any Ottawa Race weekend events, register soon. There's 9000 places per event and they all sell out months in advance. The reason why Vicky was cheering me on for last year's 5K was by the time she found out she was going to be in town that weekend, the race had sold out. That was almost two months before race day.
My friend Christian is a more difficult kettle of fish. He's already the accomplished runner and is in great shape.
For that matter, in these recent posts I've thus far failed to mention my friends Chris and Brittany, whose wedding this summer gave me the added goal of looking good in a tuxedo?
Or of my parents and grandparents who inculcated the character in me to tackle this challenge?
You start to see the point.
Since I can never repay the debts I owe, I pay them forward.
Yes, it sounds corny, but it's pretty straightforward.
When it came to what to do with those fat clothes, I waited for Moore's annual suit drive to donate my business wear and tossed most of my spring and summer casual wear into a charity bin.
As that great villain, the Canadian winter, began to rear its ugly head again in Ottawa, I bagged up my winter wear and called the Shepard's of Good Hope here in Ottawa. They're in constant need of winter clothes of all sizes to help the homeless survive winter and will come to pick up your stuff. A little known fact, Ottawa is the coldest national capital on earth.
There are many worthy charities in your area that can make good use of your soon to be oversized stuff.
Google them.
Contact them.
Give them your shit. In the spirit of George Carlin, once it no longer fits, it's not stuff anymore. It's shit.
It's of no use to you, give it to someone who will put it to use.
For runners, it's actually quite easy. Most of the races out there benefit a charity or two. In the four races I ran this year, 9 charities have benefited. If you agree to raise a certain amount for the charity, they will waive your entrance fee. Some charities sponsor runners that fundraise for them. If you agree to raise a certain amount, Team Diabetes will not only pay your registration fee, but the travel and accommodations for international events. Raise money for Charity. See the world. Run. Downside? None.
While they are all worthy events, the Run for the Cure was the most personal for me as both of my grandmothers have been afflicted with breast cancer. It was really fun event and a great goal race for my 5K clinic. My paternal grandfather, Thomas Read, also died of cancer. Taking part in a run that raises money for a cause you believe in is but another way to combine your new passion for fitness with your duty to pay it forward.
To recap:
Call in the pros.
Surround yourself with Christians and Vickys.
One foot in front of the other.
Pay it forward.
And …
Wait for it …

For the past three decades, Lee Bul (b. 1964, Seoul, South Korea) has explored questions of intimacy, gender, technology and class – as well as the tension between despair and hope, horror and beauty – through works that range from provocative guerrilla performances to large-scale installations that attempt to get our body and our brain working 'at the same time, together'.
Taking over the entire Hayward Gallery, Lee Bul: Crashing brings together more than 100 works from the late 1980s to the present day, including a new sculptural work and a site-specific commission, in order to explore the full range of her pioneering, thought-provoking and highly inventive practice.
Shaped by her experience of growing up in South Korea during a period of political upheaval, much of Lee Bul's work is concerned with trauma, and the way that idealism or the pursuit of perfection – bodily, political or aesthetic – might lead to failure, or disaster. Questioning women's place in society, particularly Korean society, she also addresses the ways in which popular culture – in both the East and West – informs and shapes our idea of 'feminine' beauty.
Setting out to 'mix things together, conceptually, and also materially', Lee Bul draws on diverse sources that include science fiction, 20th century history, philosophy and personal experience, whilst making use of deliberately 'clashing' materials that range from the organic to the industrial, from silk and mother of pearl, to fibreglass and silicone.
Since the early 2000s, she has focused on architectural utopianism, bringing together references to both real and imagined architecture in sprawling sculptures of futuristic cityscapes. At the core of her most recent work is an investigation into landscape, which for the artist includes the intimate landscape of the body, ideal or fictional landscapes, and the physical world that surrounds us.
Opening with the artist's iconic Cyborg, Monster and Anagram series, Lee Bul: Crashing features documentation of her early performances, seminal works such as Majestic Splendor (1991–2018) – an installation consisting of rotting, sequinned fish – and the pivotal Live Forever III (2001), which acts as a bridge between her early figurative works and the later installations.
Also on display, some for the first time, are the artist's paintings and wall pieces, along with drawings and architectural models that illuminate the way that her three-dimensional works are developed. The exhibition culminates with Willing To Be Vulnerable – Metalized Balloon (2015–16), a 17-metre long sculpture resembling a Hindenburg Zeppelin, suspended above a mirrored floor in Hayward's light-filled upper galleries. This colossal sculpture – which references the 1937 Hindenburg disaster – is at once aspirational and optimistic and concerned with technological failure, fragmentation and destruction. It is accompanied by the artist's new intricate sculptural work Scale of Tongue (2017–18), which makes subtle reference to the Sewol Ferry Disaster of 2014.
For this exhibition, which coincides with Hayward Gallery's 50th anniversary in July, Lee Bul treats the gallery's architecture not as a backdrop but a collaborator. An ambitious, site-specific commission, Weep into stones (2017–18) responds to both the fabric of the Hayward and its radical design by draping the building in a shimmering curtain of fine steel wire, crystal and glass.
Lee Bul: Crashing is curated by Stephanie Rosenthal, Director, Gropius Bau, Berlin with Eimear Martin, Associate Curator and Bindi Vora, Curatorial Assistant.
