Today's Scripture Sunday is based on 1 Samuel 17:26.
A hater can be anyone. A family member, a friend, a colleague, a teacher, a boss, or some random person you meet on the street or the Internet. People who were friends forever can suddenly be haters. You HAVE to have the tools to deal with it. It always feels miserable, but it's important not to 'big' these people up in your head.
Did you know that when David faced Goliath, he never called him a giant? Other people did, but not David.
He didn't brag on the enemy's power.
He didn't magnify the obstacle.
He did just the opposite.
He called him an "uncircumcised Philistine." Not only did he not acknowledge who Goliath was, or his strength, his power, his experience, he took it one step further and diminished him. When he said, "He's an uncircumcised Philistine," he was saying, "This man is not in covenant with my God. He's not in covenant with Jehovah." In other words, "He doesn't have the favour on his life that's on my life. I know the favour of my God keeps my enemies from being able to defeat me."
So when he went to face Goliath he said, "This day, I will defeat you and feed your head to the birds of the air." How could David, a teenager practically half his size with no military experience, go out with such confidence and face Goliath, a skilled warrior wearing a full set of armor? It's because he understood this principle. David is the one that said, "The favour of God keeps my enemies from defeating me."
Next Sunday: Remember Your Dream
Happy Scripture Sunday. X

So now the laundry room looks like this:
It also looks like SOME people have decided that various boxes, and yes, even Tonka trucks belong in the laundry. If I find those things in the washing machine, I bet you'll hear about it!!
Are you wondering, as I am, just how long it will take to sort out that laundry into manage-able piles about the size of a load?
Or perhaps you wonder, as I do, exactly how many times I will be loading up my trusty washing machine this week?
Or maybe you want to know who is going to hang it all to dry, shlep it back inside after, and then fold it?
So many laundry questions to ponder...
During the rest of the year, I usually go down there every couple of days to "check" on the laundry. We have a 10 kg washing machine (Love it!) and I like to run full loads. So when I have enough for a load of laundry, in it goes, and then I hang it on my drying racks. This house did not come equipped with a clothesline, but luckily we purchased these awesome, handy-dandy folding drying racks with tons of space and stowed them on our lift.
They look a lot like this, only we actually purchased them at Ikea. (Sorry, the current Ikea catalog does not seem to include them. So, Israelis, you may be out of luck. But those of you in America can just order them - free delivery - from Amazon , and you'll be air drying your clothes in no time, whether or not you have a clothesline!

Don't Hold Your Breath
GLOBAL WARMING MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE GREAT environmental crisis of the next century, but - regardless of whether it is or isn't - we won't do much about it. We will (I am sure) argue ferociously over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed. Little will be done. I wouldn't stake my life on that, but I don't see how it could turn out otherwise.
Democracies can't easily make present sacrifices to avoid future menaces. We require (it seems) a clear and present danger, if not a crisis, to stir us to action. This is why we won't soon mobilize against global warming. The politics simply won't compute. To do something effective would require a heavy energy tax or its equivalent. A good round figure for a tax is $100 per ton of carbon; this would raise gasoline prices an estimated 26 cents a gallon and electricity and natural-gas rates by almost 30 percent. The idea would be to dampen energy use and the emission of greenhouse gases (mostly carbon dioxide) from the burning of fossil fuels (oil, coal, gas).
To put it mildly, the odds of Congress's passing such a tax are low. The problem with global warming is that we don't know yet whether it represents a genuine national threat and, if so, how large. Congress might conceivably react to a legitimate threat, even if distant. But it won't impose pain on voters for no obvious gain to solve a hypothetical problem. And if the United States won't, neither will anyone else. We generate the most greenhouse gases, about 22 percent of the annual total. Other countries won't squeeze themselves to preserve our lifestyles.
I talked last week to global-warming believers and skeptics. Despite policy differences, they tend to agree about the modest state of current knowledge. Here's what we know. Since the dawn of the Industrial Age (say, 1800), the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has risen about 30 percent. In the past century, average surface temperatures have increased 1 degree Fahrenheit (.5 degree Celsius). The widespread suspicion is that these trends are connected. Industrial and transportation emissions increased carbon dioxide, trapping more heat in the atmosphere and raising temperatures. The rival theory is that the small temperature rise is a natural climatic variation.
Now, here's what we don't know:
We don't know how much - or if - temperatures might rise in the next century. In 1995 the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted that average temperature might increase between 1(degree)C and 3.5(degree)C, with the best guess at 2(degree)C. Even this huge variation is hedged with qualifications and isn't accepted by many scientists, because it's based on admittedly crude computer simulations of climate.
We don't know - despite much scare talk - what the effects of warming might be. The computer models can't predict the exact impact on regions or precise shifts in storm patterns. Warmer weather might make some areas more attractive, and others less. Hotter weather could depress crop output in some places and raise it in others.
We don't know how to prevent warming. Once greenhouse gases reach the atmosphere, they tend to stay there. So stabilizing annual emissions isn't enough; they have to be cut sharply. But economic growth requires more energy, and fossil fuels provide 85 percent of all energy. Without a breakthrough in alternative energy - nuclear, solar, something - no one knows how to lower emissions adequately without ultimately crushing the world economy. (By 2050, emissions might have to drop 50 percent or more from expected levels.)
The idea that global warming is a certain calamity simply isn't proven. Anyone who thinks otherwise should read Richard A. Kerr's superb story in the May 16 issue of Science magazine (""Greenhouse Forecasting Still Cloudy''). In it, he illuminates the doubts that plague computer modeling of climate. By altering a few assumptions, one model cuts its forecast of global warming caused by a doubling of CO2 concentrations from 5.2_C to 1.9_C. Based on present knowledge, the best way of coping with warming - if it happens - would be to adapt to it. Change would probably occur over decades. If sea levels rose because oceans warmed, coastal areas would erect retaining walls - or people would move. Farmers would adjust crops to new weather.
I write all this as someone who actually favors an energy tax, mainly for national-security reasons (to cut dependence on insecure Mideast oil). I believe that, within limits, we could improve energy efficiency without wrenching changes in lifestyles or high economic costs. Well, we had two oil crises in the 1970s and fought a war in the 1990s over oil. None of these events spurred a major energy tax, and global warming would ultimately demand a bigger tax. (A $100-per-ton carbon tax, for example, might only cut CO2 emissions back to 1990 levels by 2010.)
What I conclude is that global warming promises to become a gushing source of national hypocrisy. President Clinton recently fulminated to the United Nations about the dangers of global warming without specifying how the United States might combat it. Late this year an international conference will try to fashion a global treaty. Already 65 senators have signed a resolution sponsored by West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd rejecting any treaty that doesn't demand emission cuts by poor countries (China, India, etc.). But these countries have - temporarily - been exempted for good reasons. They didn't cause most greenhouse gases, and penalizing their development would perpetuate their poverty.
The difference between Clinton and Byrd is less than it seems. Clinton wants to seem engaged without doing much; Byrd et al. want to find a respectable reason (i.e., poor countries aren't participating) for being disengaged. Hardly anyone wants to admit candidly the uncertainties of global warming. It's politically incorrect to question whether this is a serious problem that serious people ought to take seriously. But it would be political suicide to do anything serious about it. So shrewd politicians are learning to dance around the dilemma.

Here's two interesting charts. The first shows gun related deaths in Australia over the past few years
The graph reveals that around 238 people died via firearms in 2016. The stats don't tell us how these people died, but not all would have been via murder.The stats don't tell us how many incidents were officially classified as being an act of terrorism.
The next graph reveals car related deaths in Australia over the past few years
The graph reveals that around 1,500 people die via the automobile each year on Australian roads.
Cars account for over 6 times the number of fatalities in Australia each year over guns.
Statistically, cars (or more specifically, their drivers) are more deadly than guns (or, more specifically, those who shoot them).
Now consider the relative paranoia devoted to curtailing excesses from the use of both these instruments of 'death' (guns and cars).
Imagine if some bureaucrat proposed to advance gun safety by painting lines on the ground to separate gun users from the general public as a primary control. Imagine all those happy public campers: kids, walkers, runners, old folk, all doing their thing on one side of the line while shooters did their shooting a metre or so away via the safety of a painted white safety line. Not likely eh! But that is precisely the kind of inanity that these same bureaucrats have inflicted as a primary safety instrument through which to separate murderous car drivers from insanely vulnerable cyclists all trying to share the same road. A painted line, is, apparently an OK safety measure through which to separate car drivers and cyclists. But not shooters from the public. Despite the fact that the death rates inflicted by car drivers is more than 6 times that inflicted by shooters.
And let us not forget the very latest trend in official terrorism circles: the use of cars to intentionally plough through pedestrians as a deliberate act of murder. Consider the furore over gun control after all those shooting incidents in American schools. Look at the venom aimed at just the one company, Vista Outdoors, manufacturer of ammunition and supporter of the the National Rifle Association in the USA. Vista also owns Giro and Bell, two of the worlds largest bicycle helmet makers. Both these bicycle accessory makers have been boycotted by the public for their association with their parent company.
But did anyone consider boycotting whatever car maker made the cars that deliberately ploughed through pedestrian precincts in recent times? Nope.
In all my years of being around guns (which, in rural Australia, is quite a bit of being around guns), I have only ever observed one episode of gross stupidity (a person pointing a loaded shot gun around the place claiming his trigger was dodgy – that person was quickly controlled!)
In all my years of being around cars as a cyclist who rides 25,000km pear year (as in, being passed by, passed into by, abused via, cut of by, run off the road by, tailgated by and generally, terrorised by car drivers), I have generally observed at least one moronic car driver exhibit of psychopathy every single ride, which means, every single day.
For everyday ordinary Australians (which means, non-cyclists), cars are 6 times more deadly an instrument of death than guns. For cyclists, the assault of car driver terrorism is vastly greater.
I can't help thinking that it is actually safer for us cyclists to ride alongside a rifle range than a highway.
I can't help wonder at the current culture of aggrieved horror and disapproval aimed at shooters by the general public and public opinion makers these days. These days, gun owners keep their passions secret to avoid marganalisation or worse. Car drivers, though, happily wash their instruments of death and terror in the street. They even get their kids to help out. They even allow their kids to ride in their tin boxes of carnage. Just imagine what would happen if a kid even looked in the general direction of someone polishing a gun at home! Child abuse at best…
And let's not forget the rather asymmetric training and licensing arrangements that pertain to guns vs cars. To get a firearm, you need a licence and to get a licence, you need to proclaim a good reason for having one. Basically, if you are not a farmer, and you want a gun, you will have issues.
Do we need to present 'good reason for wanting to drive a car' as part of the process for applying for a driver's licence? (Now, there's an idea…)
Do we need to lock our cars away in a cabinet with at least two locks via two different keys? Do we need to drain our car's petrol tank after each use and store that petrol in a separate safe?
Are we prohibited from taking our car out in public unless its to take said car off to some controlled venue partitioned off from the public (I wish).
Do we need to log our purchases of fuel on a police controlled register every time we fill our car's tank?
Clearly, most readers will be thinking that my arguments here are inane, if not insane. In our culture, cars and driving are a right, a necessity, a passion and an unquestioned backbone of the social fabric. Consider this. When we build a new house, why do we devote around one third of that space to housing our car? Why are we prepared to devote one third of that mortgage to accommodating a car and maybe only 20 percent to accomodate our kids (cars take up more room than the kids under the roof of most houses these days). Why are we so complacent with the astounding carnage cars inflict on our public spaces through parking and parking infrastructure? Why do we build cities around cars rather than people? Have we all gone mad?!
Compare all that with the furtive timidity of gun owners who secrete their instruments of apparent terrorism in cabinets behind closed doors or keep their guns covered like lepers in shrouds when heading off to the range or the paddock.
If my argument still doesn't do it for you, here's another approach. Go out for a drive on a rural road. Anywhere. Drive along and notice all the road kill. Kangaroo after kangaroo. Possums, echidnas, birds, snakes, wombats (and maybe cyclists): if it moves, it's likely to end up dead beside the road. All this carnage is via car drivers and their tin boxes of death. Not one carcass would be from cyclists! If all that stinking residue of death and destruction does not reveal a 'lived experience' of the murderous character of cars and their drivers, you must be seriously deranged. And that's just what cars and their drivers inflict on non-humans. Non-human car kills don't even rate a mention in the car carnage statistics.
Governments don't classify all this car driver caused carnage as a scenario of terrorism because no one would vote for them if they did. Or maybe even the perception of cars-as-death can't take hold in a society that has elevated the car to the status of obsessive reverence. It's all a bit like a cargo cult. Or a religion. We worship cars. We build our societies around them. And many of those disciples don't and won't tolerate anything or anyone who disrupts that flow of reverence, like, say, cyclists – who dare to demand equal space on our roads of automotive worship. Nope, it's a lot easier to marginalise cyclists and consider them as prospective roadkill. After all, car drivers who kill cyclists rarely if ever face penalties worse than a fine.
I wonder if someone might consider marketing holsters for guns that fit on bikes? That would mess up a few pre-conceptions and social memes out there…

Limerick man jailed and banned for motoring offences
Solicitor Darach McCarthy: Client is "not well in himself"
A MOTORIST who pleaded guilty to multiple road traffic offences was sentenced to fifteen months' imprisonment and disqualified for 25 years, writes David Hurley.
Limerick District Court was told Martin Casey, aged 32, of Caislean Na hAbhann, Castletroy was caught driving while disqualified on several different dates during 2014 and 2015. He was not insured and did not have a driving licence.
Sergeant Donal Cronin said on one occasion, the defendant was driving a 11OY-registered Hyundai ix35 which left the scene of a minor road accident on Mulgrave Street.
Casey, who has more than 100 previous convictions, was located by gardai a short time later while traveling as a passenger in another car.
Sgt Cronin told the court the Hyundai, which was involved in the earlier collision, was never located by gardai.
Judge Mary Larkin was told Casey was observed on various dates driving a number of other vehicles at different locations in the city despite having been disqualified for eight years in 2013 after he was convicted of driving with disqualified.
Because the defendant was disqualified, he was not insured on any of the occasions he was observed driving.
Solicitor Darach McCarthy said his client, who is married with three children, "is not well in himself" and he said at all times he had driven for family reasons.
He was doing his fatherly duty," he said pointing out that all of the detections were made at reasonable times of the day.
He said Mr Casey "has a disregard for himself" and that his mental health is in a fragile state.
He said his client, who has been experiencing marital difficulties in recent times, is apologetic and realises his actions are not acceptable.
Imposing sentence, Judge Mary Larkin commented the defendant had shown a total disregard for road traffic legislation and she said a custodial sentence was warranted in the circumstances.
She imposed a number of consecutive prison sentences, totaling fifteen months and she disqualified him from driving for 25 years.
Following a request from Mr McCarthy, the judge said she was not prepared to suspend any portion of the sentence.
However, she set recognicence of €600 and approved the defendant's mother as independent surety in the event of an appeal being lodged.
A number of other charges, including one for a theft matter were taken into consideration by the court.

Restaurants you may also like
Cress on Oak Creek at L'Auberge de Sedona
In 2012 The Cottage was named one of the 100 BEST OVERALL restaurants in the country by OPEN TABLE diners. The restaurant also has "The Award of Excellence" and has been named "Best Fine Dining" by readers of the local paper for many years.
In additional to serving dinner every Wednesday through Sunday, The Cottage holds a series of Cooking Classes and has published an outstanding cookbook, Cottage Place Flavors. It is indeed a very special restaurant and the owners, Frank and Nancy Branham along with their entire staff, look forward to you dining with us soon!!
THE BEST restaurant in Flagstaff. Unfortunately, it is closing and the person who us taking over will ruin it, given his other restaurants.
Made reservation for birthday 3 months in advance. Turns out owners had sold the business after 23 years and were closing 2 nights later! Place was packed with friends and long time customers, food was wonderful. Glad we finally got there before they closed for good.
Absolutely Fantastic!!! The food was beyond delicious!
As always, outstanding food. This restaurant is changing hands so while we're sad to lose Frank and Nancy we know that the new chef, Scott, is absolutely terrific and the restaurant will be in good hands!
Sensational in every way. its very obvious why this is the best fine dining restaurant in Flagstaff.
Truly fine dining in a quaint building. This iconic restaurant is closing under the present owners Nancy and Frank. We count ourselves among the many who are grateful to have enjoyed some memorable meals, especially their Valentines Day spectacular presentation on Tuesday.
Amazing first experience at the cottage place. Went for Valentine's dinner and it was so romantic and special, so glad to have gotten to experience the original owners. The chef came out to check on us several times.
Fabulous food, thanks so much! Well done, a bit noisy for me,great service
We went for the Valentine's Day dinner, and it was fantastic. Every course was incredible. Highly recommended!
Going to truly miss this dining venue.
Really glad to make it back there in time !
The Cottage Place is changing ownership so we wanted one last dinner! We have enjoyed this place wherever we are celebrating a special occasion in Flagstaff. Frank's culinary skill will be missed!
Outstanding restaurant !
PROBLEM : Frank has sold the restaurant which will close in 2 weeks. In our view it can not be replaced. We even drove 140 miles(each way) to dine there before they close forever.
The food and service were exceptional as usual. You will be missed Cottage Place. You have all done amazing job making Cottage Place a staple in our community.
I've been coming here for more than 15 years and continue to enjoy Chef Frank's tasting menu with wine pairings!
Loved the atmosphere, great service, excellent food! Wish I lived in the area do I could go back often!
Overall sub par.
The food and wine selection is wonderful. But when you put great food and wine together with a staff that takes exceptional care of you, the dining experience is truly memorable!
The Chateaubriand is amazing and both soups were phenomenal!
I've been there several times and the food is outstanding!
The Cottage Place is predictably wonderful - every time! There were six of us and every single one of us was very pleased with our food and drink. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. Even our high expectations were surpassed, as is always the case at this establishment!
Great menu, dinner options, food, presentation and service! It's such a quaint restaurant. The owner/chef Frank came over to meet us and thank us for coming. He really gets to know the customers and wants to make sure everyone has a great experience at his restaurant. We would definitely go back and would highly recommend this restaurant.
I took my wife to The Cottage Place as part of a little getaway from Phoenix that she badly needed. I used the partner offering from Flower Petal and had a nice flower arrangement delivered to the table before we arrived. It was a huge hit and she was the envy of the other ladies in the restaurant. Chef Frank Branham met us at the door, signed us in, and showed us to our table. This also made my wife feel special. Our server was a very nice, polite and professional young man and he did an excellent job. The food and drink was absolutely fantastic and Chef Branham stopped by our table to make sure. I bought a copy of his cookbook for my wife and Chef Branham signed it with a nice message to her.
I would highly recommend an experience like this to anyone whose spouse has had a bad week and needs mending. The Cottage Place was the therapy my wife needed. She continued to talk about how nice this was all weekend. Use The Cottage Place as a focal point to a romantic evening. You can't go wrong. I know I hit it out of the park!
I think I learned a new concept called a "chef-based restaurant". The chef's personal touch adds more than you might think. Also, the "cottage" type atmosphere adds something to the romance.
Fine dining at its best. Excellent meal selections. The tasting menu with wine parings is superb. Many compliments to Frank, the Chef, who visits all the diners. The service was excellent.
Amazing food, environment and service ! Could not have been a better new year's experience !
The cottage place is consistently the best food in flagstaff! They have excellent service. They never let us down!
Love this place, great food, great service. The Location is great in Flagstaff. The Owner Chef and staff take a great deal of pride in providing great quality food.
Always stunning: great staff, excellent food, extensive wine list. Our favorite restaurant!
The Australian lamb was so delicious!! Some of the best food!.Love the intimate atmosphere of this restaurant! !
Excellent food and service (Rob was our server) last evening. We can't wait to come back on our next trip to Flagstaff.
Cottage Place is a sure bet, it is always good! The restaurant is small enough for the owner to control the quality very well and still have time to visit each table! The wine list is also top notch. We will return often.
We dining in this restaurant for the last 20 years and had never a bad dinner or service
Cottage Place never disappoints! The tasting menu with wine-pairing is well worth the investment for a special occasion. The chef has won many awards but still takes the time to come to EVERY table during the night. He and his wife truly love to serve good food to discerning diners.
Our family really enjoys Frank and his attentive staff. We have been going to the Cottage Place since I found it while attending summer school at NAU - years ago - I am now retired. They do offer choices for children, and you are able to customize your meal for dietary needs. We were there for Christmas Eve when the snow was coming down at a very steady pace. Frank and Nancy shoveled regularly to make sure the sidewalk area was safe. Nancy even cleaned off our car windshield before we left. The restaurant is pricey but well-worth it for special times or a special treat.
Best Restaurant in Flagstaff for 20 years, still is.
We have going here for years. And for years the food, service and ambiance has always been outstanding.
Best restaurant in Flagstaff, one of the very best in all of Northern Arizona.
As always excellent food and wine selection.. Wonderful personal service. Had engagement dinner there in past.
We had the Chef's Tasting menu with his wine pairings for two. Absolutely epicurean in all respects; we had an outstanding meal. My only complaint would be the pairing with the Reisling didn't seem right. Otherwise, both the lamb with a delicate Maple demi-glaze (almost like BBQ but far better) and the Venison in a cherry molasses sauce were just perfectly prepared. Vegetables were great, the scallops appetizer was amazing in the combination of the lemon butter sauce and the tomato cucumber relish. The salad was also very good, with candied walnuts and some spiced pairs that just went perfectly with the duck confit. Garlic soup was also good, but not my personal favorite. All in all, one of the best meals we have had in quite a while, where every single menu item we tried was great, and a few were exceptional. Usually there is a part of a meal that isn't memorable or suffers a bit, but not this time. Wow!
And Laura did a great job making the Apple Flambe table side so that finished everything off well.
Outstanding food and service. Cottage Place is truly Flagstaff's finest dining experience. Excellent for Birthday, Anniversary, date night or other quiet celebrations.
Consistently good food. I have been coming to The Cottage Place for over 20 years. Never in that time have I had less than a good meal. Many were outstanding. If you are planning to impress someone at dinner in Flagstaff, make your reservation here. For this particular meal, I ordered the December Tasting Menu. Deep Sea Scallop, Herbal Mushroom Velouté, Cranberry Sorbet, medium rare Cocoa Encrusted Venison, Pear Flambé for desert. This was an outstanding meal.
The Cottage is rated 4.7 stars by 589 OpenTable diners.

You know those times when the same message keeps on turning up in your life? Over and over? Where you keep recognising the same idea in many different places (and you know you could apply it to yourself)? Well, I'm having one of those times.
And the message is about editing. Cutting back. Slicing off the excess to leave some empty space.
To leave more room for simply living.
(Something in me relaxes even just thinking about it – how about you?)
So let's have a look together for a moment and see what you might have to gain by losing some things…
We live in a busy world. A world of "more." Of buy one get one free. Of building bigger homes so we can own (hoard?) more stuff. Of cramming just one more thing into our schedule because we "should" or because it shows "good time management" or efficiency. A world of more accessibility and connectivity, where more people can reach us more of the time.
But has all of this "more-ness" invaded our existential spaces? Has it fooled us into believing that this gives us more life? Has it blinkered us into forgetting that there simply are limits – important ones – existential ones. And that they bring a power all of their own.
Perhaps there's a place for balance.
For less of the "more."
And here's where I've been noticing this lately:
In a writing class, where I was reminded of the vitality of editing. The power of cutting out the chatter. For, though it can sting at the time, it makes your piece stronger.
In a web content class, where "white space" was crucial – the blank places where the eye and the mind can rest and where the message can stand out in. And be stronger.
In a conversation, where someone mentioned the style icon (1883-1971) Coco Chanel and her advice to "take one thing off" before you leave the house – leave one distracting accessory or unnecessary clothing item behind. And make what's left stronger.
All together, these events sort of clicked in my mind and I wondered about existential editing – what clutter I could cut from my life to leave more space for the bits that really matter. To have more room to breathe…
And exactly then, I spotted another therapist, Lisa Kift, tweeting about her "life trimming scissors":
"I think it's time to take the scissors out again – to cut away a few things in my life so I'm not so busy. Anyone like to borrow them?"
So what about you?
What might you cut back to make your life stronger?
What can you lose to find more clarity?
What can you clear out of the way to make room for that restorative "blank space" – where the heart and the mind can rest in?
Space to simply be…

Today and tomorrow (Oct 6th & 7th) one of the most important events in hip-hop and DJ culture takes place in London: the 2011 DMC World DJ Championships at the 02 Arena's Indig02 in which the top hip-hop battle DJs from 21 countries (reppin' the USA is DJ Vajra - full DJ battle details above) battle it out in this Turntablist World Cup in three major battle categories: DMC World Final, DMC Battle for World Supremacy, and DMC World Team. Additionally this two day scratch DJ event will present a bunch of great showcases including ones by last year's DMC World Champ DJ Ligone from France, the 2003 Supremacy Champ DJ Tigerstyle, three time DMC World Supremacy Champ DJ Switch (who'll perform the piece: Concerto for Turntables), plus an anticipated triple threat set from the revered X-ecutioners' Total Eclipse, DJ Precision, & Rob Swift.
This year's DMC battle comes at a time when turntablism or skratch music seems to be on a comeback in popularity on a global level. It's always been popular but after its honeymoon with the mainstream in the late nineties it seemed somewhat dormant (in actuality it had just gone underground). But lately there's been a noticeable increased interest in DJ battles like the DMC and turntablist events like Ireland's annual Community Skratch Games of the past few years or the recent Thud Rumble presentedFader Fest in San Francisco with the reunited Invisibl Skratch Piklz as trio (QBert, D-Styles, Shortkut) and showcases from the likes of US DMC representative DJ Vajra. There seems to be a flurry of new turntablist releases lately too including ones from DJ ALF, Teeko, DJ Needlz, ThatKidNamedCee, Jimmy the Hideous Penguin, and DJ Quest who is about to release this month his latest turntablist album Cosmic Parasite (a collaborative effort with the two former bandmates from his original DJ crew Bullet Proof Scratch Hamster (BPSH) - DJ Cue and Eddie Def).
Longtime San Francisco DJ Quest, whose legendary BPSH crew have the distinction of releasing the first DJ battle record (Hamster Breaks), is among those who has opinions on the DMC in 2011, its role in skratch music, and its evolvement alongside technology's advances. Quest is among those who have strong opinions on the DMC now allowing the use of DVS like Serato (who along with Rane are the DMC's main sponsors). Quest calls it, "A bit of a mess now that you have the DMC allowing people to use Serato in the same category as DJs who are not using it." He compares it to the use of steroids in baseball. "If you look at baseball; if you are using steroids you're not able to compete at all. But If there was a baseball league that was all steroids, then let them do go for it. Let them use steroids, and see how far they can go," proposed Quest. "But you also have a division for the original non-steroid baseball players. You need to separate the two. It's like in 1992 when they, the DMC, first allowed teams to compete against one individual. It wasn't fair for all." As far as the DMC branching out to have video DJ battles Quest approves. "I like the concept of been able to enter with a video. That's a step forward," he said.
Two time (1997 & 2008) USA DMC DJ champ DJ Slyce is another person with opinions on the ever-evolving DMC battleground and its rules. "Sally [McLintock - the World DMC DJ Championships Events Manager] made sure Serato was allowed and was able to keep things fair for all the DJ's involved. I wouldnt want her job though: it's so complicated trying to make the rules for Serato, DVS equipment, online battles. Trying to catch up to what DJ's want to use in their sets are crazy," said DJ Slyce, adding. "Although I do get a lil brokenhearted when DJ's will stop actually doing the zigga zigga with their hands and just push buttons. The last thing I want to see get obsolete is the 1200. Real problem is that the creativeness can expand exponentially depending on its exposure, and trying to catch up to that is rough for everyone involved. DMC has to allow more equipment. Other DJ's have to learn it!"
DJ Slyce also has theories on such things as the role of beat juggling in the DMC, from an international perspective. "I think that US Battle DJ's don't want to juggle in the World/Euro style using electro music. From the US Battle DJ's that Ive seen and run into in the last few years, they want to stay hip-hop, and dont want to try music that deviates too far away from that," said DJ Slyce. "The Europeans never had a problem trying crazy shit. The problem with hip-hop now is that there isn't much new hip-hop that's good juggle material. So those that are sticking with it are having a hard time finding good new material. Of course "good material" is subjective, especially coming from me, a relatively old guy that generally doesn't use too much hip hop in his sets to begin with."
DJ Slyce contends that, "Most US DJ's never wanted to use custom records like the Europeans because they thought it was cheating. Guys really got hung up on the idea of using only the original records, and switching records as a part of the skill, which seemed silly to me. But DJ'ing is like anything else where people want to stick to what they know for the rest of their days. They don't care if they fall behind the environment. When I was 16 in 1989, DJ's were just starting to beat juggle. A lot of DJ's then didn't want to learn beat juggling. They just wanted to keep ping-ponging records with body tricks. Now that Serato is in play and DJ's are taking advantage of it, the game will get more interesting. Problem is [that] the producers will prevail here and DJ's that don't want to learn how to use editing programs will be the ones to fall behind. What's crazy is DJ Shiftee won the World Showcase battle and didn't use that Euro Lejad sound. He was completely different! But then the next year, the next champ went right back to Lejad. They really like that sound over there," said Slyce quickly adding that, "I actually like the sound, but it is kinda wearing out its welcome."
On the question of why DMC World champ contestants mostly scratch and don't juggle as much, DJ Slyce contends that, "It's just a follow the leader sort of deal. When Netik won the Worlds it was mostly cuts, using electro music, and everyone followed suit. Most of the battle DJ's just want to practice scratching for the most part anyway. And that is reflected in their routines. Practicing scratches is pretty easy. You do a flare over and over, faster and faster, until you get it to the speed you want. Then you move onto the next flare or whatever. And then you learn to combine them. Theres some pretty dope scratch combos, but everyone can do it. For some reason, cats just fall short outside the US. I'm hoping juggles dont get totally phased out in the World stage. The US DJ's concentrate more on juggles which to me is a good thing to hold on to. But to many DJ's abroad, it is probably a thing of the past like body tricks.
Thank goodness DJ's started mixing cuts into their juggles which revived juggling pretty good. I was actually motivated to start making juggles to compete again after seeing DJ Unkut's Gorilla Porn routine for the online DMC battle. Juggling is like producing music, not everyone can do it. And those that can do it, only 10% of them make really good juggle routines. I dont even know if I'm in that 10% anymore. Guess it depends on who you ask. Depends? I'm old? Get it? Ugh."
DJ Slyce is among several folks interviewed, that include DMC USA Event Coordinator Christie Z Pabon, for the follow up skratch/turntablist Amoeblog, to be published tomorrow, Friday. The DMC World Championships happen today Thursday Oct. 6: 5.30pm – 11.30pm and tomorrow Friday: Oct. 7: 7pm – 11.30pm at the 02 Arena's Indig02, Peninsula Square, Greenwich, London England SE10 0AX.

Marion doesn't recall fall
PHOENIX The replay of Shawn Marion's frightening fall, his head violently bouncing off the hardwood court, has been shown over and over again on television.
Marion, the spectacular second-year forward who was the NBA's player of the week last week, remembers none of it.
"I don't remember falling. I don't remember nothing," Marion said after the Phoenix Suns' practice on Tuesday. "The first I heard about it was when I saw it on TV. It was crazy. I was like, 'Man, I didn't know it was like that.' I don't like watching it. I just look away."
Marion sustained a Grade 3 concussion, the most severe type, and a sprained right wrist when he soared high for a rebound in the final minute of Phoenix's 90-80 victory over Utah Sunday and came down on the back of the Jazz's John Starks.
Marion said he doesn't blame Starks.
"I don't think he had a feeling of just how high I was up," Marion said. "... He's a good guy. I don't think he did it on purpose."
Suns coach Scott Skiles, who initially thought it was a clean play, isn't so sure now.
"I've looked at it so many times now, I know I don't like it," Skiles said. "I feel like it could have been prevented. I don't feel like there was enough time for a thought process of 'Hey, I'm going to undercut this guy.' But I think he could have not done it, that he had enough of a split second there not to do it.
"I feel like he took a glance, saw him up in the air and continued to back in under him, and then tried to catch him."
In a statement late Tuesday, the NBA said that after reviewing replays of the play, it concluded that Starks did not intend to injure Marion and that no action would be taken.
Marion said doctors have told him he will miss at least two games, but could return for the home game against Denver Saturday night.
"I thank God it wasn't worse than it was," the ever-loose Marion said. "But it happened, it's cool, I'm all right. Let's leave it alone and play ball."
Marion averaged 24 points and 13 rebounds while shooting just under 60 percent from the field as the Suns went 6-1 since the All-Star break. They've won four in a row going into tonight's home game against Orlando with road victories over the Magic, Miami and New York.
"We knew he was going to be all right that night," teammate Mario Elie said. "Everybody called him. He's in good spirits. The guy's been playing amazing basketball. We've just got to pick it up until he gets back."
Elie expects Marion to come back as good as ever.
"I remember when I broke my forearm, I came back attacking the same way I was," Elie said.
"You can't worry about that stuff. It's part of the game. I'm sure the first couple of minutes he'll be a little nervous, but once he gets a couple of dunks and a couple of blocks, he'll be right back in the swing of things."
Marion was in and out of consciousness on the court, but he said he remembered nothing until waking up in the hospital. He said he still has a slight headache and is tired and sore, but he showed up for the Suns' "Team Up" appearance in front of thousands of screaming elementary students on Tuesday.
He watched Tuesday's workout, but plans a light workout the next two days and a full practice on Friday.

Zoran Todorovic and Boris Drazic met back in 1966 when they formed a band and started playing live gigs on the Adriatic coast in former Yugoslavia.
Music has been fueling their interests ever since. The pursuit of a perfect guitar tone made Zoran enroll in Electrical Engineering studies, while Boris did the same dreaming of having his own recording studio.
They graduated in late 70's and got steady jobs, but couldn't rest before they put together their first 8 track studio in '81.
In '84, they designed and built their own 24 track recording console. 10 years later people were still commenting on recordings from those days: "What was that mix done on? Neve or API?"
Their engineering and production work grew until the civil war drove them out of their homeland.
Boris spent 4 years in Germany working on recording and live music projects and then moved to Canada, while Zoran ended up in Los Angeles, where he ran a recording studio for about 15 years.
The desire to be blasted by a loud guitar amp at 3 AM ultimately gave way to a subtler pursuit of the perfect sound, and the 2 friends reunited in Vancouver, BC in 2009. The Sonic Farm Pro Audio was born.
The main concept behind Sonic Farm is to come up with Pro Audio equipment that the world market is NOT saturated with. Those who want the Neve sound have a lot of choices between the originals and the many clones. Same with API or any other famous studio equipment maker. Those companies pushed the envelope back in the day but are challenged not to rest on old laurels now.
Any piece of audio gear that measures perfect by mathematical standards is bound to yield a boring sound producers and engineers would not care much for. So the philosophy of the Sonic Farm design may be described to do whatever helps get the right tone, without giving in to any hype: tubes when they deliver, transistors when they cut it, Op Amps or other IC's when they do not compromise the tone. Nothing leaves the electronic workbench unless the results are subjectively remarkable.

Best episode of this season!! Crazy, crazy..the episode started off with CT and Diem voting in another couple to face Ty and Emily in the DOME. My bet was on Paula and Dunbar, you could tell from CT's face it wasn't the decision he wanted, but obviously he loves Diem and he went with her decision.
They voted in Paula and Dunbar, and for some reason everyone was criticizing them for the decision they made…saying that voting in P and D was the worst decision they could ever make. I really didn't understand that, but anyways.
Ty and Emily have really impressed me this season, they've been in 3 DOMEs and have pulled through, that to me, shows how much they want to be there, and they deserve to be there. Once again, they fight for their spot.
This season, Paula and Dunbar have not impressed me, Dunbar looks fat and bloated, and Paula looked extremely slow compared to Emily who was jetting it through the eliminated round. Ty beat Dunbar and Emily beat Paula, and it was amazing.
The final challenge was definitely the hardest one they've been through. A jet plane was parked in front of a grass field, and the exes would have to run through the crazy wind tunnels carrying patio furniture. CT and Diem were the power couple so they were allowed to choose the order of teams. They chose Johnny and Camila which was the smartest thing they've done thus far.
Johnny has no strategy, they just jump into it and fail miserably. They're eliminated because they passed the 20 minute mark. Mark and Robin are next, they can't finish in under 20 minutes so they're DQed as well. Ty and Emily do pretty good, coming in around 10 minutes I think.
Finally, our favourite couple CT and Diem prove once again why they should be married. They work so well together, they finished under 20minutes…and then become power couple once again beating out Ty and Emily!
Personally, I wanted CT and Diem to vote in Mark and Robin because they haven't done much thus far in the game. They've been coasting through, and Robin's annoying excuses about having a son…and bla bla bla only work so far. Obviously, they wanted Ty and Emily to go in, which I didn't see fair at all, they've been through more DOMEs than anyone else, they legit deserve to be there in the final.
CT and Diem vote in Mark and Robin VS Johnny and Camila. It should be an interesting match up since Mark and Johnny have been in an alliance since Day 1. Diem said she just felt so bad she couldn't vote in Ty and Emily into another DOME, Mark and Robin need to show they deserve to be there. Just because you're a vet doesn't mean you don't have to see an elimination round.
Can't wait until next week!!
Here's a look at whose left…

Mizuno Classic Preview
Kashikojima is a par-72 6506-yard course, which I could tell you a bit more about except that the official tournament site is in Japanese. No English translation available either, I'm afraid. This malady also affects the JLPGA website – makes it hard for us Yanks to gather any pertinent information. Sounds like they're trying to build up some kind of home-field advantage to me. What I can tell you is this – the course played to an average score of 71.404 last year, making it the second-easiest layout of 2006. Only ShopRite played to a lower score and it was on a par-71 course, not 72.
Prior to the KOLON event in Korea, I was able to scan the recent results of the KLPGA to get an idea who from that Tour might be able to make a title run. No such luck here, with the local web info "coded" beyond my reckoning. I know Momoko Ueda and Shinobu Moromizato are good players while Shiho Oyama and Sakura Yokomine are the two JLPGA players in the Rolex Top 20. The LPGA contingent is a sparse one, scattered with players who attended the previous two Asian events. Surprisingly (given her great success here), Annika Sorenstam is not one of them.
No Ochoa, no Pettersen – SOMEBODY else is going to win this weekend! I say it will be Maria Hjorth, as she is on a five-event Top 20 run which started with her victory at Navistar. Sophie Gustafson and Karrie Webb are my CYA picks.
Stats: Winners 8-27 (11-27 with CYAs), Top Tens 42-79.

Here's why some big names are missing the Mizuno!

Yeah, the only way to read tournament results in English is to click on the Real-Time Scoring link when a tournament is being played (obviously on Japan time, so a real pain, plus it's not updated all that often.) I can read hiragana, but most players' names are in kanji, so about the only one I can recognize is Yokomine. The only trick I can pass along is look at the bottom of your browser as you mouse over links--the URLs that show up are mostly in English, so at least you know what the page is about, even if you can't read it. Not that useful, I know. Why the JLPGA is the least "open" of the international tours to American fans is a question I wish I had an answer to....

It looks like the amazing double eagle on the par 5-7th hole sealed the deal for Momoko. Maria Hjorth and Riley Rankin where right on the door step but came up shy. I would have loved to see that shot by Momoka.

Instead of just storing these photos in your computer, you could use the computer to display your images to interested parties using a software package such as PhotoStory. This product provides you with tools to turn your photos into slideshows that incorporate various effects.
To give the product its full title of PhotoStory on DVD MX Deluxe, this software package has been developed by MAGIC and is now up to version 11. MAGIC has bundled a couple of its other titles with this product. These are MAGIX Photo Manager 10 and Mufin Player 2.5. Installation of all three products is straightforward although the main title will require the entry of a 30-character serial code when you first run the product.
When firing up PhotoStory, an overlaid menu window will appear giving you the options to create a new project or slideshow plus open an existing project. When creating a slideshow you have the choice of starting from scratch using a wizard-led approach or use a movie template that gives you a series of place-holders into which you can place your images. There is also an introductory video with an informative commentary that covers the Media Pool, Storyboard / Time line, Editing, Adding Effects and Burning slideshows.
Slideshows can be created in either widescreen or standard display mode. You can also select a title for your project plus choose from a down-drop pick list for the chosen media. These options consist of DVD, DVD DL, Blu-ray and AVCHD. Content, including photos, video clips and music tracks, can be selected from a variety of sources on an individually or folder basis and stored in the Media Pool where it can be accessed for any project under construction. You can also import photos direct from your digital camera.
Transferring content from the Media Pool to the Storyboard section is straightforward using drag & drop and this will then give you the opportunity to carry out basic manipulation and editing features. You can move items around to get a better flow to the slideshow. Specific images can be rotated in 90 degree increments. Appropriate titles can be added as can fades that occur between slides. There is also an option to edit photos using the MAGIX Photo Designer software which forms part of this Deluxe offering.
Once you have completed your editing you can select from a range of style templates. Amongst those on offer are Chill-out, 2D to stereo 3D, 70s party, Beach Holiday, Carnival, Love Story, Music Clip and Silent movie. It's more than likely that you will need to edit the supplied opening title and closing screen as the text could well be in German (MAGIX being a German company that forgot to make the alterations itself).
You can accept a default soundtrack or add your owned choice of music or record a commentary. MAGIC Music Editor 3, like Photo Designer, is included for working on your choice of soundtrack. The actual creation of your slideshow is generally quick and you can take advantage of features such as face recognition which makes a reasonable stab at keeping faces in view during certain operations.
Various choices of menu types are available for inclusion with your project which can be saved to your hard drive with a desktop link or burned to optical media. In either case, this is not a particular quick operation. You can also upload your project to YouTube, Flickr or Facebook for presentation to a wider audience. A variety of export options are available and these include saving as video or 3D video plus saving for a mobile device or as a Media Player and being sent by email.
Overall this deluxe version of PhotoStory manages the tricky act of combining ease of use for the novice while providing more powerful features that will be welcomed by the more experienced users. Priced at £69.99, PhotoStory on DVD MX Deluxe requires a minimum of a 1.83 GHz processor with 512MB of RAM, 1GB of hard disk space running Windows XP and later.

Do I really have to go edit all the styles to what I want, save that as a new .dotx, and then specify that on export? Seems like a lot of work! Thx...
This is possible when selecting the export. Select the Word Template Tab and you can then match Topics and Notes to Styles contained in the selected Word Template.
Incidentally, our WordX2 add-in for MindManager lets you export with the actual style used in the Map. So whatever format your Topic Text or Notes are then this is what is exported to the Word document.

It's funny, the "Microsoft Word Export Settings" pictured above are useless. For example, Topic Level 1 does not map to Heading 1, but to MM Topic, and likewise for Topic Level 2...MM Topic 2. But I guess that's where your add-in comes in, to correct this sloppy programming :)
And even using the mappings in the MM dialog, things like map Topic Level 3 to Normal produces text without paragraphs between the topics. Also useless :)
Well, perhaps you can point me to a pre-user's guide to your add-in, so I know how to access it's features. Thx!
Check which bit version of MindManager you are running and make sure you install the matching bit version for the add-in.
There is more on this issue here: https://www.olympic-limited.co.uk/mindmanager-15-3264-bit-explained/
If the bit versions do match check that the add-in is enabled under MindManager Options->Add-ins.
You can also see the WordX2 user guide/help in HTML Map format here: https://www.olympic-limited.co.uk/addin_support/WordX%202%20User%20Guide.html
Feel free to email me directly for any further support on the add-in or its use through our support page: https://www.olympic-limited.co.uk/support/
Ps. I think this add-in is great, btw.
Also, I was a bit harsh on MM re: the mapping form. Now that I see how it works, it makes perfect sense - the "Style based on:" is what's changed... I get it.
Nigel I'm confused by your initial response to Jigs as I thought one of the virtues of WordX and WordX2 was that they applied the actual Word Template styles rather than the MM named style equivalents which the inbuilt Word export in my experience always does. In fact, that's one of the reasons I was happy to buy WordX in the first place...
There is a fairly simple fix if you end up with MM's styles in the Word document. Simply click on one of the headings or paragraphs with the MM style and then use the Word style dialogue box to select all headings/paragraphs with the same style and apply the original Word heading style.
Actually while WordX/WordX2 provide a lot more flexibility in the export process and is my preferred tool for doing this because it avoids this issue there are still one or two things which MM's Word export does which WordX doesn't, for example text tag export. It can also be helpful to have the MM styles so you can apply specific formatting to these elements which would otherwise difficult to select in the Word document.
And yes, the ability to chose a style irrespective of topic level is one of the key reasons I use WordX; this is one example of the flexibility I mentioned. Tag export would be a great addition and as I think I suggested before in the context of user-definable formatting of exported elements, the ability to remove the default table structure currently applied to some elements would be very helpful.
Yes that's my experience, except that "copied" is perhaps a better word than "linked".
The MM Word styles are not linked to the Word originals in any way. This cause problems with things like auto heading numbering. The first time I exported to Word it took my a long time to work out why that the numbering system of headings based on imported MM topics was not integrating with the numbering system of the existing "identical" headings in Word.
That's true, though if anything though this makes the situation more confusing. They are linked in appearance, though only in one direction, but not in terms of other attributes like topic numbering.

Product Hunt now has a buy button
Product Hunt today introduced an e-commerce shop on its website so if you discover something neat, you can go ahead and purchase it without leaving the site.
The Stripe-powered button is a natural move for Product Hunt, which features tons of user-submitted services, gadgets, books, and other general internet finds. Today's launch is rather limited, however – only six items are available on sale at this time and the company wants to be selective about the stuff available in the shop.
The available products are fairly diverse in price and type, ranging from a $20 Apple charger adapter to a $499 Wi-Fi system. It will be selling and shipping within the United States only (at least for now, CEO Ryan Hoover says), and depending on the product, you may incur extra shipping charges.
At this time, the buy button will not be available on Product Hunt's mobile apps, but if you're a fan of Product Hunt selections, now you can get shopping.

Yesterday I came home for Christmas. Being home is both weird and wonderful.
Weird because first term can't possibly have gone so quickly, and because living in a village is a bit quiet after London.
But wonderful because I love home: cuddles with my cat, having my family around, making plans to meet up with friends who I haven't seen for ages, being looked after by my mum, telly (I caught up on Downton Abbey this morning, in time for the Christmas special!) Also, I finally have time to stop – this term has been crazily busy, and while it was mostly crazily fun, having time to catch up on sleep is good too – you can only survive so long on caffeine…
The problem with having spare time is having time to be ill. I never really got rid of my Freshers' flu, and have had a cold/cough for about ten of the eleven weeks I've been at Imperial, but since term finished it's got worse. I've slept most of today and am writing this in bed with a hot water bottle and a mug of Lemsip (yum!) My mum's decided that I'm probably ill because I haven't been eating healthily enough (she may have a point) so for dinner she's cooking something with about ten of my five-a-day. I love not having to cook my own dinner – and even better, not having to wash up. Until October, I never appreciated how wonderful having a dishwasher is.
I plan to spend the rest of this week recovering, having fun and being festive, and then the remaining two weeks of the holiday I'm going to be trying to learn some of the MCD (Molecules, Cells and Disease) stuff we've been taught this term, in preparation for an exam on the first day back (boo!) Now that we've actually finished lectures I'm suddenly realising that there's quite a lot to learn… but first I plan to enjoy Christmas!
The last two weeks have been particularly busy, with various assignments due in, and Opera the week before last. The show was 'Singin' in the Rain' and being part of it (in the band – obviously the best bit!) was amazing. Rehearsals have been going on most of this term, and all the hard work paid off (in between all the messing about and having fun). Huge thank you and well done to everyone involved, especially Nicky, our wonderful music director/conductor.
I was really sad when Opera week was over, but the next performance is already in the works – some songs for Arts Review in February – and I'm in the chorus, yay! Although I can't imagine how as my dancing in the audition was appalling…
Aside from that there's lots more exciting stuff happening next term: first years are starting LSS (Life Support Systems) which sounds a lot more interesting than MCD; RAG week in February to raise money for charity (I'm not entirely sure what this involves but it was happening when I went for my interview in January and all the first years were dressed as superheroes); and lots of under-undergraduates coming for interviews – I've signed up to give campus tours on some of the interview days and am looking forward to meeting some of the potential new members of the ICSM family 🙂
To anyone with an interview coming up in the next few months: congratulations for getting this far, and GOOD LUCK! I was so nervous before my interview, but it was the friendliest, most relaxed interview I had 🙂
Actually feeling much better now – clearly the combination of Lemsip, a hot water bottle and blogging works. Right, I'm off on a mince-pie-hunt.
Finally – and most importantly: MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Police appealing for witnesses after man asks for money at elderly women's Wanstead homes
PUBLISHED: 14:13 01 September 2014 | UPDATED: 14:13 01 September 2014
Police are appealing for witnesses after two elderly women were asked for money by a man who called at their homes yesterday.
The first woman, an 89-year-old who lives in Charnwood Drive, Wanstead, heard a knock on her front door at 5pm.
She answered the door to a man who asked her for money so he could take a neighbour to hospital.
At 5.51pm, the suspect then knocked at an 82-year-old's home in nearby Onslow Gardens and asked the same question.
The man is described as white.
A spokesman for Redbridge police said residents are reminded not to let people into their homes who do not have appointments.

The Commission on Conservation, a Canadian government agency, was established in 1909. It was perhaps the earliest forum for business-conservation cooperation. It was a prescient and often thoughtful organization, producing hundreds of reports. Its objectives were mild-mannered enough, fitting for an era when polite society was inclined to civility and decorum.
The Commission sought to advance scientific conservation. It advocated sensible resource development and the conservation of Canada's forests in the name of future prosperity. It was wary of the more radical-for-its-day concept of preservation.
It was then abruptly, as it were, axed in 1921 by the Conservative government of Arthur Meighen. The demise coincided with a recession and the government claimed that the Commission duplicated other agencies (none of which had much interest in conserving anything).
Sounds familiar, does it not?
Trashing environmental protection agencies is not new to our nation's capital. It is a painfully repetitive tale. One almost expects Prime Minister Harper to announce that he hopes to rid Ottawa of the whole pesky lot of green sympathizers before the centennial of the Commission on Conservation's destruction. But he won't do that because he is not the sort of person inclined to speak his mind in public.
Arthur Meighen was not, of course, the only other Canadian political leader to abolish environmentally inclined agencies. In 1993, again during a recession, a Conservative government eliminated the Science Council of Canada (1966-1993, RIP). Other environmental agencies were eliminated at the same time, including the Canadian Environmental Advisory Committee (CEAC).
The Science Council had advanced environmental discourse in Canada with the 1977 publication of Canada as a Conserver Society. The term conserver society was first used in 1973 in a Science Council publication and later discussions led to the debates around sustainable development and sustainability, Canadian-influenced contributions to environmental thought. Wouldn't want too much of that sort of thing, would we?
By the mid-1990s, things got really nasty. Ironically, Brian Mulroney who wielded the axe against the Science Council and CEAC late in his Prime Ministerial term had earlier been reasonable on environmental issues, when they were on the political ascent. Regardless, Ontario Premier Mike Harris soon made Mulroney look like a cross between David Suzuki and Aldo Leopold.
The mid-1990s Ontario budget cuts were aimed squarely at any Ministry that had anything to do with environmental protection. Agencies were eliminated with abandon, water testing was privatized and environmental budgets were cut in half.
Shortly thereafter even Liberals got into wielding the chainsaw against anything vaguely green. Prime Minister Chrétien and Finance Minister Paul Martin, facing massive deficits, cut environmental agencies disproportionately. In 1988 Environment Canada was the 7th largest federal department; in 1998 it was the smallest. Its budget of $800 million dollars in 1993 was scheduled to expand to meet Mulroney's Green Plan obligations. Instead it was cut by 30%. When the smoke cleared its largest program was weather forecasting.
All of this provides a context for the recent actions of the Harper government. Á la Meighan, Harper axed the very useful and reasonable National Roundtable on Environmental and Economy (NRTEE), again eliminating a key business-environmentalist-government contact point. But today's cuts are much deeper and come without apology. They are not framed as an unfortunate matter of reducing duplication. This time they come with nasty ministerial mutterings about foreign funding of environmental organizations and environmentalist disloyalty to Canada.
The attacks on environmental protection from the Harper government are no-regrets cuts from the heart. They are coordinated with legal threats from 'Ethical Oil' lobbyists regarding the charitable tax status of environmental organizations. Today's withdrawal of federal protection of water quality exempts lakes in key conservative ridings and other cuts go directly at core environmental science like the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA). Federal environmental assessment processes are also being undone. This government is not just reluctant to take protective action; it does not want Canadians to know why or even if there is a need for protection.
Above all this government wants to block any and all action on climate change and to expand tar sands production without limits. It wants to build tar sands pipelines everywhere even into the sensitive coastal regions of British Columbia. This is why they engage in no-regrets chopping; these cuts are not about saving money.

Hello! My name is Andrei, and I'm a professional theater director and educator from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. I teach theater all over the world... - in Europe and the USA, and I teach Russian online for anyone who studies Russian and loves Russian culture. Learning and teaching languages is my passion. As a theater director, I interact with Russian language and Russian literature on daily basis, so, when teaching Russian, I strive to share my love of it and spread my knowledge. No less than Russian, I love English, which allows me to communicate with the world. In 2018, I won a Fulbright competition and as a Fulbrighter and Visiting Scholar I taught Russian theater techniques at two American universities - The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and The University of Illinois at Chicago. This experience helped me improve my spoken English and convinced me that language is a powerful tool for cultural exchange. Qualifications & Experience As a tutor, I've been teaching Russian online for about 2 years. During this time I've taught around 50 students - from beginners to advanced. Among my students I have had an American military pilot, an American embassy officer in Kazakhstan, dozens of college students, and others. I've gained some experience in diagnosing student problems and finding effective tactics to improve their skills. As a person who was trained a lot in voice and speech class during my studies in the Saint-Petersburg State Theater Arts Academy, I can also help you significantly improve your pronunciation. Teaching Approach I believe that it's not enough to learn grammar and vocabulary to master a foreign language. One has to be immersed into a real language, a language people really speak, which is always different from those versions we encounter in various textbooks. On the other hand, it seems to me important to show students higher examples of the Russian language - the literary language. It's essential to know which speech sounds good and to distinguish it. I mainly rely on conversational practice. However, as to their homework, I strongly recommend students to listen to Russian speech using various videos and podcasts, and I give them four special techniques for working with these types of materials. I firmly believe that listening can create the basis for future communication skills. There's no doubt that children begin to speak imitating the speech of their parents. During my lessons I use "Russian in Exercises" written by S.A. Khavronina and A.I. Shirochenskaya - a book published in 2014, which became a bestseller among those who teach Russian as a foreign language, "53 Models of Russian Grammar" by T.M. Dorofeeva and M.N. Lebedeva, various exercises, tables and games, as well as interviewing and retelling. Read more
Very experienced teacher!

Study a foreign language and be happy! Read more
Hi, First of all, I would like to congratulate you on the decision to learn or improve a new language. Whether it is Estonian, English or... Russian, beginner, advanced or Business language - you are in the right place. My name is Martin and I am coming from a tiny country in the Northern Europe called Estonia. One of my biggest hobbies is teaching and educating others, that is why for the past 3 years I have been living and working in Istanbul while teaching English to different age groups: kindergarten, school, university as well as adults. I have had students from Beginners to Advanced as well as several businessmen and CEOs of international companies located in Istanbul. What is more, for the last 2 years I have been teaching Estonian, English and Russian online through Skype that gave me chance to meet people from all over the world and help them on their journey of learning foreign languages in a comfortable and enjoyable environment. We are going to have a 20-30-minute trial lesson during which we can get to know each other, set expectations towards the lessons and schedule the timetable. The next step is simple - we start learning the language of your choice! As simple as it is :) During the lessons we will focus on making you speak even with the limited vocabulary because speaking is the key to learning a new language quickly and in a fun way! Cannot wait to receive your in-mail and help you on your journey to learn and speak a foreign language. Martin Read more
Very experienced teacher!
