Pumpkin Empanadas
from Recipe Addicts
2 cups flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cup cold butter
1 Tablespoon brandy
3 Tablespoons milk
1 16 oz can pumpkin puree
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon or 2 teaspoons fresh anise leaves
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 egg beaten with 1 Tbl water for glaze
2 Tablespoons sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening and butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Combine brandy and milk and drizzle over flour mixture, stirring with a fork to distribute. Do not overblend. Form into a flat disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes.
To make filling, blend together pumpkin, brown sugar, spices, egg, and vanilla.
When dough is chilled, roll out thinly on a floured board or pastry cloth. Cut into 4 or 5 inch circles. Place about 2 tablespoons of pumpkin filling on lower half of each dough circle. Fold over top half. Press edges together with a fork. Brush tops with egg wash and place on a baking sheet. Bake in 400 degree oven 15 to 18 minutes or until golden.

Pumpkin Pie Bites
2 refrigerated ready-to-roll pie crusts
8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup canned pure pumpkin
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
round cookie cutter
1/2 cup chocolate chips
vegetable oil
ziploc plastic baggie
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use cookie cutter to cut out 12 circle shapes from each pie crust. You will need to roll the dough a little thinner than it comes out of the box.
Press dough shapes into a 24 mini muffin tray (I used the Pampered Chef one). Apply egg whites from one egg to the top edges of each pie. Mix cream cheese, sugar, canned pumpkin, remaining 2 eggs, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice together until thoroughly combined. Spoon mixture into each pie crust.
Bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove pies to cool.
Makes 24 mini pies. Keep refrigerated.
To decorate, melt chocolate in a heat-proof bowl in the microwave on medium. Heat in 30 second intervals, stirring in between until melted. Add a little vegetable oil to make the chocolate more fluid. Transfer to a Ziploc baggie and cut the corner off. Drizzle on pies.

Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies for Fall
posted by Brandi, selected from Diets in Review
Oct 20, 2011 3:30 pm
By Jennipher Walters for DietsInReview.com
Pumpkins come two ways: fresh or canned. While removing the flesh from your own pumpkin (perfect to do when carving Jack-o-lanterns) is obviously fresher, it can also be quite the chore. So, when it comes to baking and eating pumpkin on a regular basis, canned is your more convenient option, and thankfully, canned pumpkin is just as nutritious as fresh. Our favorite is Farmers Market brand organic canned pumpkin.
Pumpkins are high in potassium, magnesium, panthothenic acid, beta carotene and other antioxidants with properties that can help improve immune function and reduce the risk for chronic diseases, such as cancer and heart disease. Pumpkins are also high in fiber, and one cup of fresh pumpkin has a mere 50 calories, while one cup of canned has 80 calories.
Dont forget about the other parts of the pumpkin! The seeds contain essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and are an excellent plant-based source of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. Pumpkin seeds make a wonderful snack!
Pumpkin seed oil is also touted by many for its health properties, as it includes 60 to 90 percent unsaturated fats and is high in linoleic acid.
A recipe like this one for Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies, a DIR original by Terry Grieco Kenny, certainly offers all the seasonal flavors of fall that we love, and with only 83 calories you can have them any time of year for a guilt-free treat!
2 ounces good quality unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 Tbsp canola oil
2/3 cup canned pure pumpkin puree
3 large egg whites
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2/3 cup white whole wheat flour (or 1/3 cup each whole wheat and all-purpose flour) Raw shelled unsalted pumpkin seeds (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick foil or regular foil coated with nonstick spray.
2. Put chocolate and oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave on medium until chocolate melts, about 1 1/2 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time. Stir in pumpkin puree until smooth.
3. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat egg whites, granulated and brown sugars on high until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
4. Add vanilla, cinnamon (if using) and salt and beat until blended.
5. Add pumpkin mixture and beat on low until blended. Stir in cocoa and then flour until blended.
6. Scrape batter into prepared pan; smooth top. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds, if desired.
7. Bake 25 minutes or until a pick inserted in center comes out clean. (A few moist crumbs are OK).
8. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Lift by foil ends onto cutting board and cut into 20 brownies.
Theres no limit to how you can enjoy pumpkin. Also try these recipes:

My mom tells me in Italy, the ladies used to rub cut pumpkin flesh onto their faces as they say it's great for wrinkles. Of course, they did wash it off eventually, lol...

Perl DBI + Access bind issuesby KurtSchwind (Chaplain)

Ok, through no fault of my own, I've got to work with an Access database. The user who created the database created columns with names like "active?" and "is deleted?".
Normally this'd mean I'd have SQL like

Fan-filmed video footage of EXIT EDEN's August 2 performance at the Wacken Open Air festival in Wacken, Germany can be seen below.
Amanda Somerville was unable to join her EXIT EDEN bandmates at Wacken because she was looking after her recently born twins.
She wrote after the gig: "So proud of my EXIT EDEN ladies making things even hotter at Wacken Open Air! Sorry I couldn't be there with everyone on stage, but my heart still beats along!"
EXIT EDEN is the all-female four-piece ensemble featuring Somerville, Clémentine Delauney, Marina La Torraca and Anna Brunner.
EXIT EDEN's debut album, "Rhapsodies In Black", was released in August 2017 via Napalm Records (worldwide excluding Germany, Switzerland and Austria, where it was made available via Starwatch). The disc was described in a press release as "a colorful mix of international super hits from Rihanna to Madonna, from DEPECHE MODE to Adele."
Who the musicians are:
Amanda Somerville: Amanda is a rock-solid authority of the music scene, both as a solo artist and sharing success and the stage with bands like AVANTASIA, EPICA and KAMELOT. Though her American roots are based in pop and rock, she fell in love with the metal scene and made it her home. She has toured with Alice Cooper, Ian Gillan and many more legends with her commanding voice and fronts the projects TRILLIUM and KISKE SOMERVILLE (with HELLOWEEN icon Michael Kiske). All of this, combined with her wide range of experience, grants her a unique edge and a permanent address in the metal world.
Anna Brunner: A natural talent, Anna began singing at a very young age. As a daughter of a German father and an American mother, she grew up bilingual and founded her first rock band as a teenager. Due to a music study that lead her through different parts of the world, she garnered a multitude of experience and it became crystal clear to her: music has to rock — and vocals need to be emotional — just like a passionate scream.
Marina La Torraca: Hailing from Brazil, Marina was born with rhythm in her blood. As the auspicious frontwoman of several metal bands since the age of 15, her path led her to Europe, where she got to perform with AVANTASIA and to found her up-and-coming band PHANTOM ELITE. Since having studied musical theater in New York, the versatile singer and actress can also be seen internationally in musical productions, including the German tour of the Broadway hit "Rent". For her, being close to the crowd is what counts — no problem for her and her natural convincing character.
Clémentine Delauney: Clémentine was born near Paris. She has been a multi talent since her childhood days — no matter if she was dancing, playing the piano or singing, she enchanted her audience. At the age of 16, she joined her first metal band. She is currently fronting symphonic metal outfit VISIONS OF ATLANTIS and also worked with SERENITY and MELTED SPACE. Another one of her career highlights is her participation on Kai Hansen's (HELLOWEEN, GAMMA RAY) first solo album, released in 2016. Thus, Clémentine has carved her way into being one of the great performers of the scene.

Teds Big Adventure
It all began January 2014, we decided to have a clear out to start the New Year off with a fresh start.
We started in the cellar and as we were moving boxes, we came across one tucked in the corner labelled "bits and pieces 2001", we cleared everything off it and brought it upstairs wondering what would be inside. We opened the box with great anticipation hoping it would contain some valuable antiques but we were soon disappointed as it was only filled with old newspaper, we began emptying it out and this dishevelled soft toy fell out, matted fur all stained black and very dusty from being wrapped in newspaper for the last 14 years.
We thought long and hard about what we should do with him and then Angela decided that she would take him home and see if we could get him cleaned up. She carefully hand washed him and we were amazed and pleased that he came up a treat. He needed some clothes so we asked Marjorie if she could make him something to wear and she decided to knit him a jumper with Appleby Manor on it. We all thought he looked very smart.
As he had spent the last 14 years in a box in the cellar the staff, first of all, came up with the imaginative name of Ted and then they thought it would be a good idea to take him on holiday and see a bit of the world and so Ted's Big Adventure began, which you can follow on our facebook page and also on the map below.
We were soon getting requests from guests to take him on holiday so we decided that we would launch a competiton for the best picture of Ted on a day out.
To enter this competition guests can ask to take him out while they are staying here and all we ask is that they bring him back and post some pictures onto our Facebook page with the title "Ted's Grand Day Out" along with a description of who he was with and what he did. We will judge the pictures at the end of the year and announce the winner at our New Years Eve Gala Dinner. The lucky winner will receive a voucher for a 2 night bed and breakfast stay in a Garden View or Deluxe Room with dinner in Bistro 1871 on the 1st night.
So when you next book to stay don't forget to let us know if you want to take Ted out and get those pictures taken.

Letter to the editor – Pakistani captive
Editor D.E
Dear Sir
Mystery is deepening about Pakistani captive Naveed. Information trickling down from sources suggests that he has been making sensational revelation of Pakistan's terror machine. Details of these revelations may or may not come in the media; that is not really important because Pakistan's anti-India mission is well known.
However, the real importance of Naveed case is the revelations he will be making directly or indirectly about local conduits who were accomplices in the planning and execution of his mission. Grapevine has it that many known politicos, bureaucrats and police functionaries
are involved. It is also said that his revelations may indicate a widespread underground sabotaging activity going on in Kashmir. The one and only one question that is to be answered is who are you going to trust in Kashmir? The ground situation is that the land is with us
but not the people.
The much talked about Track II or the NSA talks, the Ufa sideline talks etc. all this is humbug and nonsense. Either stop talking to anybody in Pakistan or if you have to talk, talk to her Generals and forget the pawns on the Pakistan's political chessboard. They are a mix of charlatans and jokers.
K.N. Pandita

How badly does the Obama Administration want the Hispanic vote? Here's how much; the number of illegal aliens caught in 2011 was the lowest in 40 years. And that fiscal year wasn't an exception to the rule; every single year Barack Obama has been in office the number of those illegal aliens apprehended has gone one direction – down.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, the number of the apprehended looks like this:
2009: 869,857
2010: 752,329
2011: 641,633
The 2011 number was the lowest since 1972. In 1972 the number was 505,949.
To make it even more clear how the Obama Administration has refused to act, the number in Obama's first year, 869,857, was the lowest since 1974, when 788,145 people were caught.
Guess where the area was that had the highest number of arrests after 2002?
Yup, Tucson, Arizona, where Governor Jan Brewer has been fighting with Obama over his refusal to act. Unsurprisingly, the lowest number of arrests in the Tucson sector since 2002 came in 2011, with only 123,285 apprehensions reported.
Obama does seem to find a way to pander to every constituency. Too bad he won't uphold the Constitution.

'No Russian troops' in Crimea airports says EU's Russian ambassadorComments
The Russian ambassador to the EU has been responding to accusations that his government is behind the seizure of two airports in Crimea.
Ukraine's new government has called it an "invasion" and "occupation" by Russian forces. Moscow denies any involvement.
Ambassador Vladimir Chizhov told euronews: "There are no troops whatsoever, no Russian troops at least. The international airport of Simforopol is functioning normally. The military airport of Belbek is probably also functioning normally."
When asked why "self-defence" groups were being formed in Crimea, Chizhov answered: "They have been hearing threats that so-called 'friendship trains' loaded with armed supporters of the Kyiv Maidan were on their way to Crimea. Naturally the local population is worried."
Chizhov dismissed US Secretary of State John Kerry's call on Russia not to intervene, saying: "The US with its tradition of interfering in other countries and sending troops overseas, may be acting according to their own mentality, I would say. But this is not a case of Russian interference. Actually many people in Russia are asking questions about why is the Russian government keeping such a low profile."
Meanwhile, Kyiv's border guard reported on Friday that more than 10 Russian military helicopters had flown into Ukrainian airspace over Crimea.

Social Media Advertising
Going Where the People Are
Social media is where the people are and where the conversations are occurring, so the advertisers must follow. Furthermore, the major social channels have built their own walled gardens that require ad channel specific knowledge to properly execute. In other words, you can't simply buy ads on one platform that go across Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube – each has its own ad platform.
We use social media advertising strategically for our clients to
- Drive awareness and engagement
- Nurture prospects down the funnel
- Re-engage past purchasers to buy again
How we can reach the right audience
- Email address or phone number: we leverage your customer or prospects lists to show only those people ads
- Interests, gender, geography, household income, parental status
- Company name, co size, industry, job title, seniority, education, skills, groups, age
- Retargeting website visitors or people who engaged with your ads
- Look-alikes of attractive audiences such as customers
- Contextual such as on a site about bike racing for a bike race
- Behavioral: based on sites visited such as travel, we can sell
Ad formats
- Image+text
- Lead form
- Video and more
- Giveaways that give you additional entries you for sharing or following
- Contests

Previously known as LaLa Land, the late night bar offering will continue under The Ducks wings and will feature a pop-up kitchen showcasing Latin American inspired dishes till late.
Chefs and co-owners, Darren Robertson, Andy Allen, Mark LaBrooy, Chris Sorrell, Sam Reid and Jeff Bennett recently flocked to LA and Mexico where they ate their way through fancy and street side taquerias, for inspiration on vibrant and flavoursome Latin American cuisine. It was local mescal producer, Eduardo Angeles of La Locura in Oaxaca, who predominately influenced the boys' inspiration for Locura (Spanish for madness), through his knowledge, passion and close connection to the land.
Locura's menu (available from 5 pm - 8 pm) will take a Latin American approach and showcase a variety of smaller style plates influenced by a blend of Mexican, Costa Rican and Peruvian cuisine. Menu items will feature a selection of cold and hot options including fried corn and chickpeas, oysters, ceviches, tacos and salads. There will also be a variety of house-made fermented hot sauces, rubs and salsas to complement the dishes.
"We wanted to do something a little different this time around, and our trip to Mexico was super inspiring to learn more about the culture and food which was just crazy good. The cuisine actually lends itself really well to our climate in Byron so it was a no-brainer for us to focus on the cuisine," says Darren.
The menu will showcase plenty of seafood, and a couple of different tacos and salads all seasoned with salts and spices. We'll have a whole bunch of fermented hot sauces, rubs and salsas we're currently working on, as well as having a bit of fun with creating daily specials," explains Darren.
Award-winning bartender, Tim Phillips (Dead Ringer and Bulletin Place in Sydney) will be joining forces with the Locura team to create an epic cocktail list, complementing the food offering. The drinks menu will be simple, fun, fresh and flavoursome. With over 17 years experience in hospitality, Tim has honed his craft in multiple cities and the best bars around the world and for this bar, will create an eclectic cocktail list including Mezcal based mules with kombucha, Ducks take on the classic Mexican favourite Michelada, and homemade Tepache - a fermented pineapple beverage made using the leftover pineapple skins from juicing at The Farm.
The wine list will feature a compact selection of international organic, biodynamic and natural wines, with a smattering of South American wines. A combination of local and international beers will be available by the bottle, with all beers on tap rotating regularly to showcase a selection of some of Australia's best craft beers and ciders.
With a capacity to host 350 guests, Locura is ideal for functions and events and will cater to a selection of events and bespoke functions. The décor draws on the minimalistic modern bars of Mexico City, with a clean and trendy feel. There will be a strong focus on music, with DJ, producer and composer, Jono Ma taking the lead on the pre-existing sound system and hybridising it with a retro Horn and amp hi-fi system - the Klipschorn. The Klipschorn is a 70-year-old design originally produced to recreate the experience of a live performance as dynamically and vividly as possible.

As summer begins to wind down, it is time to start thinking about the new school year. For college students, this may mean a move in the near future. While their dorm may be small, it is amazing how much one college student can stuff into that space. Before your college kid packs up this fall, read the following food for thought to make sure their belongings are protected by the proper homeowners or renters insurance.
Homeowners Insurance Coverage
When kids go off to school, there are a lot of things that go with them, and that protective bubble of your home is no longer protecting their belongings. Yet, it is comforting to know that you can protect them through your homeowners insurance in Texas. This is certainly something you want to confirm with your insurance agent, but most homeowners insurance policies will extend coverage for your child's belongings while they are away at school and living in a dorm, sorority house, or another type of student housing.
It is important to note that some homeowners insurance companies will only cover possessions in student housing for up to 10 percent of the personal property limit on a homeowners insurance policy. Therefore, it is important to take inventory of what a student takes with them, and ensure you have enough coverage. If your child is taking a lot of their things with them, or taking any expensive items, you may want to schedule those expensive items or increase your personal property coverage.
Renters Insurance Coverage
Of course, once your child decides to move off campus, or out of their student housing and into their own apartment, you will need to protect them and their possessions with a renters insurance policy. Like most college students, your child may be sharing an apartment or home with multiple roommates. In these situations, each roommate needs to get their own separate policy.
While most renters and homeowners insurance companies allow you to have one other unrelated party on a renters insurance policy, this may cause some issues in the event of a claim. For example, if a property claim is made, the claim check will be made out to both parties. Perhaps more importantly, if a liability claim is made on your policy due to the actions of a roommate, your insurance score could be negatively affected because of their actions.
As you are preparing to send your kids off to college, don't forget to protect their personal property with coverage under your homeowners insurance or on their own renters insurance policy. We know that as you prepare for them to leave home, there is a lot on your mind. Don't add the concern for coverage for your college student's personal property to that. Call the homeowners insurance company professionals at Jones & Associates today and let us ensure that both you and your student have the proper coverage!

June 1996
Interviewed by Mike Hammond
MIKE: Gillian Anderson has been pushed to international stardom in a series that investigates unsolved cases, many of which include alien abductions and involvement of the paranormal. Now Gillian is currently in Australia to talk about the X-Files, and she joins us now, live from the studio. (turns to Gillian) Welcome to Fox Entertainment News and welcome to Australia.
GILLIAN: Thank you.
MIKE: Now I dont know where to start with you. Perhaps youd like to suggest a question that you havent been asked, that youd like to start off with. (GA laughs) I mean, it must be hard. Is it? Going from place to place.
GILLIAN: Well, its hard answering the same questions over and over again as if Im hearing them for the first time. And making them interesting, or changing them a little bit, but remaining within the realm of truth. So that Im not saying the same thing over and over again.
MIKE: So at what point can you be Gillian and at what point do you have to start acting and become Dana, and sort of act out the role when youre being interviewed?
GILLIAN: I dont really act out the role of Dana, but I think that I have a tendency to be short and clippy with my answers. (laughs) .. If I dont see them going anywhere.
MIKE: Am I being warned? Am I being warned? (laughs)
GILLIAN: No.
MIKE: Theres one thing I wanted to ask was about the nose ring. And excuse me for staring, but I cant see what side it was in.
GILLIAN: No, there is no hole. There -It was on my left side.
MIKE: So that answers a big question. Because Ive sort of thought about if you get your ear pierced or your nose pierced or you know?
GILLIAN: It does heal up. It actually had gotten a little bit, um, not infect Do you want me to tell you the story?
MIKE: Sure. Absolutely!
GILLIAN: Well when I went, um, I got it done in London and I had to leave before they actually could change the stud to a hoop. And so they did it anyway. And so-
MIKE: Yeah And they also probably used cheap metal, too. Its not the purity of the gold or whatever-
GILLIAN: Yeah. And so- When he pierced my nose he actually like pressed it in just with his finger. He didnt use a gun. He just like pressed it in. It was that easy. And it didnt actually hurt.
MIKE: I was going to ask if it hurt.
GILLIAN: No, it didnt. I got a little dizzy, but-
MIKE: You were a bit of a punk, is that right?
GILLIAN: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
MIKE: What, were you into the punk scene, or the music, or
GILLIAN: No, no, no. Ive just heard so much about this, that, you know.. its just-
MIKE: Well, Ive heard about it too. Thats why Im asking you directly to see what its all about.
GILLIAN: I know! (laughs) It was just a stage that I went through, like everybody goes through a stage.
MIKE: So the X-Files came along. How did it come along?
GILLIAN: To me in terms of the script? Well, I was out of work in Los Angeles for almost a year and-
MIKE: Thats part of being an actor.
GILLIAN: I know, I know. And this script came along, and I wasnt actually in the habit of auditioning for television shows. I wasnt a big fan of television at the time and its grown tremendously since that point. And I think, in general, theres a lot more respect for TV now, especially in the states. I mean, not especially Im sure theres more respect for Australian TV. (laughs) But you know what I mean.
MIKE: I know what you mean. Its like film and theatre versus TV.
GILLIAN: Yeah, exactly. So I was quite snobbish about it, I think, for a long time. And then this script came along for a series and I had no idea really what that meant. In terms of doing a series, or how often series were actually picked up to go or not.
MIKE: Yeah, is it going to be five shows, or do I get two weeks of work out of this.. yeah.
GILLIAN: Yeah, I had no clue. And I certainly had no clue that I would be signing away what may be seven years of my life.
MIKE: Does it feel like youve signed away seven years of your life?
GILLIAN: In a way, it does. Yeah. But in a good way. I mean, Im very happy to be in the situation that Im in and to be working with the people and the character that Im working with. But it does, it takes out a huge chunk. And depending on which perspective you look at it, its either a good seven years of work or its seven wasted years (laughs) you know, where you could have been doing something else.
MIKE: Theres that actors dilemma again. Its like, do I take this gig and Im guaranteed an income and a job.. or.. you know?
GILLIAN: Right. Exactly.
MIKE: I suppose when youre starting out. Cause this was a big role for you, wasnt it? Going on to The X-Files.. Was that sort of a consideration? Was it like, Well, you know, Im sort of a new person on the block, you know, Ill go and give it everything Ive got and see how it works out?
GILLIAN: Basically yes. But at the same time, my perspective wasnt that giving everything that I have would end up being that long. I mean, Chris is -Chris Carter, hes our executive producer -and his perspective is that its a very short amount of years in a lifetime. You know, but then when I think about the fact that I started when I was twenty-four and I may end up finishing when Im thirty-two
MIKE: You look at the percentage of what your life is, how old you are at the time
GILLIAN: Yeah, I know! Its very ..
MIKE: Well youre about half way through-
GILLIAN: Yeah, about half way through-
MIKE: So Im sure that the character has changed a lot, as you have, but lets have a look a little bit here at your alter ego in action.
GILLIAN: Oooh boy..
MIKE: Dana Scully.
(a clip is shown from Beyond the Sea, and after the clip is shown we return to the interview to see Gillian staring down at the ground, away from the television screen)
MIKE: Pretty serious stuff there. (looks over at Gillian) Whats the matter? Youre looking away from the monitor. (Gillian laughs) Why is that? Do you not like looking at yourself act?
GILLIAN: (covers her face with her hands and starts laughing) I cant watch previous episodes. (peeks through her hands and then removes them from her face) Im sorry, Im turning red. Nooo.. its just-
MIKE: There are a lot of people who dont like hearing their voice back when its recorded and a lot of actors dont like watching themselves-
GILLIAN: I dont either. I dont like hearing my voice.
MIKE: So you dont watch it when its on air?
GILLIAN: I dont mind watching a new one when its on air cause Im excited to see what weve done and how its turned out and to learn from mistakes and to learn from good performances or whatever. But I cannot watch previous episodes.
MIKE: Well, that was from right at the very start. That was like, I think, from series one, .. or series two?
GILLIAN:> Yeah, it was series one.
MIKE: So how has the character developed then? Because I notice in the current series theres a lot more sexual tension between your character and Fox Mulder. I think theres a little bit of anger there in some of the episodes, too.
GILLIAN: Yeah, yeah there is. I think in the third season, which I dont think youve seen yet in Australia, everything kind of comes together. I think we In the third, as you call, series everyones just much sharper and the scripts are better and its all kind of come together in the third series.
MIKE: So I take it you feel a lot more comfortable and confident both with your acting and with the character as the shows progressing.
GILLIAN: Yes.
MIKE: So its a good thing!
GILLIAN: And I think that shes gotten stronger too. Shes not as green as she used to be, which is a good thing.
MIKE: So youre signed for the seven years, so I guess were guaranteed for seeing you-
GILLIAN: For a good, you know, three/four more years-
MIKE: as it stands for the moment, for until the contract runs through.
GILLIAN: Yep!
MIKE: Well thanks for being with us Gillian.
GILLIAN: Thank you. It was a pleasure to be here.
MIKE: Its been a real pleasure meeting you. I was going to show you some of the stuff Ive got on you on the internet-
GILLIAN: I think Ill-
MIKE: but well save that for another time.

Officials from Iceland say the Sindri Thor Stefansson, who is suspected of orchestrating one of the biggest heists Iceland has ever seen, escaped prison by simply climbing out of a window, according to the Guardian.
After fleeing the prison, Stefansson traveled about 60 miles to Iceland's international airport in Keflavik, where he allegedly boarded a flight to Sweden on the same plane reportedly carrying the country's Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir, according to the Iceland Review. The coincidence, based on an account by a passenger, has not been confirmed by authorities.
RUV, an Icelandic news site, published a surveillance camera image it said was Stefansson, wearing a black baseball cap and jacket, casually strolling through the airport, suitcase in tow.
By the time guards realized he was gone, Stefansson was at 35,000 feet and on his way to freedom, according to the BBC.
Police believe Stefansson used a plane ticket under another name, but said it was "unlikely" he had to present a passport at the airport since Iceland and Sweden are part of Europe's passport-free Schengen travel zone, according to the Associated Press.
"Swedish police have, as have other European countries, been informed by Iceland about a detained man who has escaped," Swedish national police spokeswoman Malin Nafver told Reuters.
Despite authorities' efforts, Stefansson is still in the wind, the Guardian reported Wednesday.
Stefansson was one of 11 people arrested in February for allegedly stealing 600 computers used to mine the cryptocurrency bitcoin and other virtual currencies, the AP reported.
The small island country in the North Atlantic has become a hotbed for cryptocurrency mining because of its abundance of renewable power sources and its cold climate, The Washington Post has reported. About 80 percent of Iceland's energy comes from hydroelectric power, which provides data-mining centers with reliable, cheap power. The chill weather helps to keep servers from overheating.
Dubbed the "Big Bitcoin Heist," thieves made off with about $2 million in equipment in a series of burglaries Icelandic officials called "a grand theft on a scale unseen before," according to the AP. Even if the computers aren't sold, the thieves could use them to create new bitcoin and turn a profit in an untraceable currency, AP reported.
The computers have not yet been located and owners have announced a $60,000 reward for information, the Guardian reported.
Stefansson, who is suspected of organizing the grand heist, was moved to the minimum-security prison about a week and a half ago, according to AP. The prison has no fence and inmates are allowed access to phones and the Internet, the BBC reported, citing local Icelandic media.
"He had an accomplice," police chief Gunnar Schram told Visir, a local news outlet. "We are sure of that."

Study Finds Benefits In Teach For America
Students taught by Teach For America recruits learned more in mathematics over the course of a school year than schoolmates whose teachers were hired through more traditional routes, a new study shows.
The report, released last week by the Mathematica research group, is the first national study, and the most rigorous, to examine the impact of the Peace Corps-style program. It recruits promising young liberal-arts graduates to teach for two years in disadvantaged rural and inner-city schools.
Students of the teaching corps' recruits made larger learning gains in mathematics than did children in other classrooms in the same grades and the same schools, the study found. In reading, students of both kinds of teachers showed similar levels of improvement.
Since 1990, the privately organized Teach For America has deployed more than 10,000 graduates to disadvantaged schools plagued by teacher shortages. The recruits take part in five-week summer institutes that include four weeks of student teaching. Because states have begun stepping up their requirements for Teach For America participants, most also continue their education coursework on the job.
But critics have accused the program of gambling with poor children's futures because few of its recruits come to the program with education backgrounds.

|See the accompanying chart, "Comparing Types of Teachers."
"We hope this will move us beyond the debate over whether Teach For America is a good thing and whether it has a positive impact on students," said Wendy S. Kopp, the president and founder of the New York City-based nonprofit group.
The Mathematica study was financed by the Smith Richardson Foundation of Westport, Conn.; the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation of Menlo Park, Calif.; and the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
To test whether the teaching corps was making an impact in the classroom, the Mathematica researchers analyzed 2002-03 test scores for 2,000 students in Baltimore, Houston, Los Angeles, the Mississippi Delta, and New Orleans. Within each of the 17 participating schools, students in all grades were randomly assigned to Teach For America teachers and to those who were hired through traditional means.
The researchers say the math gains they found were equivalent to about a month of extra schooling. Put another way, they say, the gains were worth about 65 percent of the academic growth that can occur when schools reduce class sizes.
The math gain was more pronounced when researchers narrowed the comparison group to include only teachers who, like the Teach For America instructors, had been on the job three years or less. In reading, the improvements remained even.
No explanation for why the Teach For America teachers produced better math results emerged from the study. Those teachers were no more likely than the other teachers studied to have majored in that subject, and both groups said they used similar teaching practices
The biggest difference between the two groups of teachers was that 70 percent of the Teach For America recruits had graduated from colleges ranked as "very," "highly," or "most competitive," compared with under 3 percent of the traditional hires.
Poor Qualifications
When it came to formal training, however, the two groups were not as different as critics of the TFA program might expect. Although just 3 percent of the Teach For America recruits had undergraduate education degrees when they joined the program, 25 percent had earned a master's or bachelor's degree in the field by the time the study ended.
In comparison, 55 percent of the other teachers in the schools studied—and 33 percent of the comparison group's beginning teachers— had degrees in education.
Overall, the researchers found, the non-Teach For America teachers had substantially less formal training and lower rates of certification than the national average. Teach For America targets its efforts toward schools where principals often have to rely on emergency hires, long- term substitutes, and alternatively trained or certified teachers.
"The qualifications of all the teachers are extremely subnormal, and the achievement of the students is extremely poor," Linda Darling-Hammond, a Stanford University education professor who advocates more extensive education training for teachers, said of the study. "And Teach For America teachers don't solve that situation."
The study's findings are bound to attract attention as districts and states struggle to meet federal requirements to staff classrooms with qualified teachers. Under the No Child Left Behind Act, schools, with a few exceptions, have until the end of the 2005-06 school year to ensure that all teachers in core academic subjects are "highly qualified.''
Paul T. Decker, the project director for the study, said the findings show that the TFA program could be an effective strategy for raising children's academic achievement.
"At least from the perspective of school districts, it may be cheaper to hire Teach For America teachers than to reduce class size," added Mr. Decker, who is a vice president for human-services research at Mathematica, which has offices in Washington, Princeton, N.J., and Cambridge, Mass.
Mr. Decker acknowledged that his analysis of Teach For America did not account for some of the hidden costs to participating schools, including the expense of replacing departing recruits. Most of the Teach For America participants studied said they planned to teach for "just a few years,'' although national statistics show that 60 percent stay in education in some way when their two-year commitments end.
In other findings, the Teach For America corps members were more likely than regular teachers to rate tardiness and fights among students as serious problems, though school records showed that the actual rates of absenteeism and disciplinary incidents among the two groups' classrooms were similar.
"What they bring to the school is a sense that 'if I can do it, anybody can do it,' and that becomes part of the school culture," Rebecca Mir, the principal of Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School in Houston, said of the teaching corps' members, which her school has employed since the early 1990s. "We'll take success any way we can get it."

You might have noticed that since getting to Florence, I haven't been going off on any spiritual tangents.
Indeed, since leaving Assisi, those thoughts simply haven't arisen again. That says something to me. In the future, I want to write a book about spiritual pursuits. I have a vague idea of how it would go. Perhaps Assisi would be a good place to gain inspiration for such a subject.
I've often said that I've been to three places that have had a big effect on me. There's Bangkok and the Thai islands, which I go to for healing, there's Paris, which points me towards the future (why? I don't know! It just does! It inspires me to make plans and put them into action. It gets me thinking and active), and there's Florence, which reminds me of who I am and what I do best.
Sometimes I need that reminder. When everyday life gets mundane and refuses to change, Florence helps me relocate my center and start acting towards my interests again.
So far, Florence has had me sleeping a lot. I guess a lot of things need to get sorted out in my head.
So, yesterday was my first full day in the apartment, and I spent most of it there, unpacking, doing my blog, shopping for food and drink and putting it all away, sitting up on the roof deck and reading, and writing my blog. It was a pretty ordinary day, only I feel more centered.
So far, I haven't started working on my second book (whose subject will NOT be spirituality, but will deal somehow with the relationship between love and sex, and the hazardous effects of THINKING about both. These things just have to BE. You only ruin them by thinking about them).
At night, I called Frank and invited him out for the night of drinking and talking in Piazza della Passera that I had cancelled the night before. We got a space on one of the benches, and he even brought beer! I also got a mind-numbing negroni from the Caffè degli Artigiani in back of us (The caffè is named after people like Frank. There are a lot of artisans and artists in the area). Maybe THAT'S why I'm sleeping so much!
So, we just chatted the evening away and looked at the passersby (which included the local and very vocal drunk). An enjoyable evening, after which I went back home, and slept late again.
What's up with that?

Introducing the Griffyn Ensemble
The Griffyn Ensemble is an exciting chamber music ensemble based right here in our (that is downunder's) national capital. The ensemble is named, in a fun wordplay, after Walter Burley Griffin, Canberra's designer, and the mythical beast (the griffin, gryffin, or gryphon).
The group was founded in December 2006 and its members are mostly, I believe, graduates of the ANU's School of Music. It has had various make-ups over time including violin, viola and cello, but it currently comprises:
- Kiri Sollis – Flute
- Matthew O'Keeffe – Clarinet
- Carly Brown – Horn
- Laura Tanata – Harp
- Wyana Etherington – Percussion
- Susan Ellis – Soprano
- Michael Sollis – Musical director and composer
Fascinating line-up eh? And the result is that they play some rather fascinating music – which focuses on the 20th and 21st centuries. The music, for those of us who have not had a lot of exposure to more contemporary classical music, can be a little obscure. But that's fine with me, because I like to be introduced to more modern works as well as hear the old favourites, just as I love to read classic novels alongside the latest literary release.
Tales from Heaven and Hell
We've heard members of the ensemble a couple of times before, but on Saturday night we went to a concert performed by the current full ensemble at the lovely, new-ish Belconnen Arts Centre. It was a challenging but also enthralling program*:
- Madrigals Book III (1969), by George Crumb (Soprano, harp, percussion)
- Perelandra Piccolo Concerto (2010), by Michael Sollis (the full ensemble, with Kiri Sollis featuring on piccolo)
- A Dybbuk Suite (1995), by The Klezmatics (the full ensemble)
- Good Night (1989), by Henryk Mikolaj Górecki (Soprano, alto flute, harp, three tam tams)
I was intrigued by Crumb's Madrigals which comprises three very short accompanied (though that word doesn't do justice to the harp and percussion) vocal pieces of a style that was unlike anything I've heard before. The lyrics are drawn from Federico Garcia Lorca. All I can say is that it was a nicely controlled and expressive performance by the three musicians involved. Sollis' Perelandra Piccolo Concerto is a 4-movement piece inspired by CS Lewis' novel Perelandra – and featured, of course, the piccolo. The novel, which I haven't read, tells the story of Elwin Ransom, who is sent to Perelandra (Venus) to prevent the Fall of a new Adam and Eve. The piece includes spoken text, effectively read by soprano Ellis. I must say that the piccolo is not my favourite instrument – particularly as a major solo instrument – as I tend to like something a little more mellow (like, say, the alto-flute in the last piece) but Kiri Sollis (the composer's wife) did play it with both verve and skill. All in all a work that made you think while entertaining you at the same time.
However, it was probably the second half of the concert that moved me the most. I think this is because the first half had a more intellectual appeal – my brain had to work to enjoy it – while the second half appealed more to the emotions. A Dybbuk Suite contains all that paradoxical joy and melancholy that you tend to find in klezmer music and I found my foot tapping at times. Lovely. Good Night, on the other hand, mostly comprises a mystical, moody dialogue between harp and alto-flute with some voice and percussion near the end. It was quite mesmerising: Kiri Sollis and Laura Tanata seemed perfectly attuned to each other and played the piece at a controlled and measured pace. It quietly but gorgeously concluded what was a truly delightful concert.
(*This is not a formal music review – that is not my skill as I've said before – but simply my lay music-goer's response to the concert)
July 28, 2010 5:08 pm
Sounds a very pleasant evening. I'm familiar with klezmer music being a bit of a squeezbox struggler myself. Gorecki – I only know his major works, not this one. Nice review

Back in March, I think — I think? — when I posted about W. over at Pykk. The Symmetric is Diabate's West African musical ensemble. One of the benefits of being internationally known is that you get to put together your own team of crack players who zoom around the stages of the world like musical Supermen, upholding the honour of the Mande Empire. I think he has one of their tracks on his myspace: http://www.myspace.com/toumanidiabate

In spring remove dead misplaced or overcrowded stems.
A really exotic-looking plant. From July to September unusual, fragrant large white flowers with pale blue or white spiky filaments are produced followed by egg-shaped orange-yellow fruit. The leaves are pretty too, deeply lobed dark green and glossy. This elegant white passion flower is a vigorous trouble-free climber that thrives in hot summers and will quickly cover a sunny wall or fence. Ideal for a tropical planting scheme it grows best at the base of a sheltered wall in full sun although it will tolerate some shade. The fruit are edible but not very tasty!
Passion flowers are believed to represent the suffering of Christ on the cross and the mysteries of the Passion. The 17th century monastic scholar Jacomo Bosio describes 'the column rising in the centre of the flower surrounded by the thorn of crowns (and) the three nails at the top of the column. In between, near the base of the column is a yellow colour about the size of a reale in which there are five spots or stains (stamens) of the hue of blood evidently setting forth five wounds received by our Lord on the cross.'

Applying systems thinking to real world challenges
As presented on this course, the use of systems thinking is motivated by the desire to plan and manage systems better and to analyse systems so that they can be redesigned when they fail.
This week of the course will use the case study of the fatal shooting of Jean-Charles de Menesez by police in 2005 in the mistaken belief that he was a terrorist. We will see that systems thinking can point to a number of failures within the policing system. According to the Independent newspaper, there were seven mistakes that cost De Menezes his life [1]. The point here is not to criticise the police – system failures occur in all organisations – but to show how systems thinking can be used to understand failures and to avoid them in future.
As you watch the video in the next step, bear in mind the questions below. You do not need to search for further information (although of course you are welcome to do so).
You will be asked to consider:
- the purpose or mission of this system,
- whether the decision-making subsystem was effective,
- whether there were adequate resources made available; and
- whether the components were appropriately connected within this system.
This exercise is intended to give insights into how such failures may occur and how they may be avoided in the future.

Breathtrackers analyse the presence of Hydrogen and Methane to assist Doctors and Practitioners in the identification of their patients gastrointestinal disorders/conditions such as carbohydrate malabsorptions/intolerances (Lactose Intolerance, Fructose Intolerance, etc.) and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).
Hydrogen Breath Tests (or HBT) are used as a means for clinicians to asses people various digestive disorders to see if they can help narrow down what may be causing the digestive issues such as,
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth and/or common food intolerances. The test is simple, non-invasive, and is performed after a short period of fasting (typically 12 hours). The test itself does not diagnose, that is left up to interpretation by a medical professional.
When testing for conditions like Lactose Intolerance, Fructose Intolerance and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).
Studies have demonstrated the importance of Hydrogen (H2) and Methane (CH4) production, indicating more than 30% of healthy adult subjects produce Methane in addition to or instead of Hydrogen increasing the ability for medical professionals to review the most comprehensive results to best aid them in their decision of how to best relieve patients gastrointestinal disorders/symptoms.
