FCATA – Blog 4
Hi all –
Yes – I know – the ABC Wide Bay radio interview was again delayed. I spoke with Wayne Shearman who I did the interview with after his show and he was apologetic – the story got kicked because the QLD opposition leader was in the studio. I am told either tomorrow morning at 6:45 or 7:15 – but more likely Monday at either of those same times … alls well and he will send me a audio file and the interview will be posted on-line via this site.
The overnight stats from people having a peak at the FCATA webpage was much higher than expected – there were some glitches with the link from the Chronicle's on-line link that returned '404' messages. Indications of interest are still the real measure of how the community sees this new program and I urge all those who want to be a participant in the program to indicate their interest. Please – any other interest indications are also very welcome as this program will not be able to function in its initial stages without volunteers and their generous offers to help.
Plan to spend part of the day setting up a new independent FCATA blog site … let you all know when its done about the new address …
talk later … Ian.
FCATA – Blog 3
Good news tonight … late this afternoon I received an e-mail from Lisa Desmond, Acting CEO and she sent me a copy of the Pool's operating Budget for 2009-10 and to date for 2010-11. The data these budgets contain allow you to draw a very different picture to that concluded by the summary numbers appearing in the Councils Annual Budget publication. Mayor Kruger had denied me access to these reports an I quote:
' … The Council operates the pools as a community service obligation to the Fraser Coast Region as are many other services that Council provides. … … Whilst Council could process your request under RTI, [Right for Information] you may still not get the figures that you are seeking due to possible exemptions under the RTI Act due to information which may be subject to 'tendering arrangements' in the near future. … '
I appealed the matter to the State Minister for Local Government … Ms Desmond's communication this evening has produced the budgets asked for, and I thank her for that.
The other bit of good news was that Mr Peter Smith [Director Community & Development, Fraser Coast Council], rang me late today as well. I had left 3-4 messages for him over the last 7-10 days – and with the flood issues and concerns – I was not really expecting a return call any time soon. I had also been a bit rough on Mr Smith leading up to the Christmas break re the ongoing battle over the concession-card discount matter.
Mr Smith informed me that he thinks that the Fraser Coast Council has applied for a Federal funding grant under the Healthier Communities Initiation due for submission by the 4th Feb 2011. He also was quite helpful when I asked if I could see the application to get an idea of what will be required in 2013 when the FCATA plans to make its formal application. He intends to chase all that up tomorrow and if the flow of data happens – perhaps we just might start to see some positive responses from Council in the next month or so.
And yes, there is another good piece of news – Cr Sue Brooks – someone who has gone toe-to-toe with me as they say – has also done a back-flip. With all the good news yesterday with the cold-calls to the Carer Organisations I made, I sent a thank-you message to them all for showing their interest and giving them some more background detail about the program.
I sent a copy of that message to 'All-Councillors' and to a few other people who are on the mailing list as well. Cr Brooks then saw fit late last night to liaise with the same Carer people the message was sent to with the following message:
' … Speaking personally I believe Council will give whatever support it can to such a programme. Community based organisations have opportunities to apply for funding under the Council grants programme and Council can assist in other ways also. My understanding is that at this time Council does not have the capacity or priority to actually form or run such a group itself.
In relation to pool entry prices our pricing is, generally speaking, reasonably cheap compared to other public pool facilities and Council will be setting pool entry prices every year as part of the budget process. So it is possible that Council will alter pool entry pricing in the future.
I wish Ian every success in developing this programme as I do believe it would be beneficial to many residents.
Cheers, Sue
Councillor Sue Brooks
Environment portfolio
Sent from a Fraser Coast Regional Council BlackBerry Wireless Handheld … '
I am not too sure what Cr Brooks thought she was doing – but I certainly believe she had good intentions when she made a decision to liaise with these contacts. In essence – her message represented a complete back-flip to her last lot of messages she sent me only 1-2 days previously. I could make an assumption – but I won't. But I am thankful Cr Brooks appears to have come some way from her original positin.
Tomorrow is another day and it starts early – the ABC Wide Bay interview playback that was to be on this morning – is now on for tomorrow morning. Hopefully that will give some more coverage and I think the Chronicle might be doing a follow up to correct a few of the Council spokesperson's mis-truths published today.
The feedback has been all a big positive – except for what I suspect as a couple of 'plant' comments to the Chronicle's story today. With the follow-up – that should communicate the correct data.
cya … bleyzie.
FCATA – Blog 2
To further update the data supplied by the Council spokesperson, and as published in the Fraser Coast Chronicle on the 19th Jan '11, the following comments were made:
" … Council said daily entrance fees were half price for pensioners, cutting the $3.70 fee to $1.85.
"The full year season pass is $293 – applicable to everyone," a spokesperson said.
"Visiting the pool four times a week for a full year would cost $1.40 a visit using the season pass. …"
By comparison, and using all the Regional Councils between Brisbane and Mackay, the mean yearly price for a season ticket among all those Council pools is above $400. It is more expensive in regions south of Fraser Coast, and gets cheaper as you go north. They all offer some discount ranging from 50%-20% for aged and disability concession card holders. They don't require a Doctors certificate – and if you take Gladstone as an example – all concession-card holders can swim free between 8-9 am, Mon-Fri.
The bigger picture is to try and keep the aging and marginalised population exercising … it will save the Australian economy $100's millions in short term reduced medical expenditure. Fraser Coast Council is currently the most discriminate Council when it comes to recognising this statistical fact. They should be doing everything they can to encourage this aging and disadvantaged to try and maintain their independent living lifestyle for as long as possible. It will save the public purse $billions in the long run.
The subsidy asked for when Council was approached for the 'concession-card' discount was around $1000. The Councils 2010 budget show the Hervey Bay pool had a $680,000 running cost shortfall. Some of this is infrastructure appropriation, however, it is still $100's thousands of dollars being spent to subsidise the 'general public' entry cost into the pool.
Linked below is the Council's request for a report on the 'budget – impact' of altering the concession-card entry price for season tickets. The Council produced report is also included in the summation, as is a researched response report that actually contacted every Council pool and spoke to someone and extracted the information about their 'concession-card' and 'general-public' entry costs. The information destroyed the creditability of the Council's own report. As a response the Mayor arranged a hasty meeting and made a statement to 'do something now' to address the problem.
The Mayor had one of his staff offered me a special deal where by I would be the only one the receive the deal – he said I could pay the season ticket price on a monthly basis – yet it would still cost the same as the 'general-public' ticket cost. This Council would not give up a $1000 to help the current users who purchase season tickets.

Link to Submission form to indicate you level of Interest in the Aqua Therapy Program:
bleyzie …
FCATA – Blog 1
This is a first blog for the Fraser Coast Aqua Therapy Association. It is made available to all interested parties, i.e. potential participants, volunteers, professional therapists, and the like who want to be involved with this program.
The program is to help and offer Fraser Coast marginalised residents who suffer from handicaps, disabilities and assorted mobility issues, an aqua therapy based program. The program is enough interest is generated will apply to the Federal and State Governments to become part of their Healthier Communities Initiative program. This FCATA program is a 'not for profit' project – and we are currently seeking 'indications of interest' from local residents on many levels. These levels might include potential participants, volunteers, fund-raising, serving on Committee, helping with transport and pool activities, it might be in Web site administration, or Government Grant and funding applications. This is a start-up program and any advice about your interest level is most welcome.
Indications of interest will stay open through to the end of March 2011.
That message started this morning – 19th Jan '11, when the Fraser Coast Chronicle ran a story, about an issue associated with the program – it can be viewed using this link.
This story is a start and will hopefully draw broader community interest.
This post is all about the positives that a program like this will and can do for the Fraser Coast region. It will be a better and more successful program if Council can support the program. Efforts to date have not been encouraging – and regardless of comments made in the linked story above – there is evidence from Council to the contrary.
A big issue will be how Council responds to its pool pricing structures for 'concession card' holders now that its discriminate policies toward this demographic has been exposed. The daily entry discount mentioned in the story is not a concession or disability card discount, but a 'rehabilitation discount' that can only be obtained if it is accompanied by a Doctors certificate. That point is important on the context of this Council's pool pricing policy. Without that Doctors certificate – nobody gets a discount to the 'general public' admission prices.
By comparison, Gladstone Council provides 'free' access to their Council pool between 8:00-9:00 am – Monday to Friday, for all or any concession card holder. They also have an Aqua Therapy program that has been running for 22 years. Their program is funded under a Home and Community Care program (HACC), has some 100 participants, 6 part-time professional staff, a host of volunteers, and permanent part-time staff running the administration. Gladstone Council provide upwards of $40,000 in free pool time over the year to help the program. It is a business model that we hope to be able to emulate for the Fraser Coast region.

Question: St. Louis has a long-standing tradition of support for and pride in its cultural institutions such as the St. Louis Botanical Gardens and the Saint Louis Zoo. What role, if any, do these sort of institutions play in keeping civic pride high during these turbulent economic times?
Paul Solman: Enormous, I would think. In 1938, the Jewel Box in Forest Park, a New Deal project, attracted 400,000 visitors. They presumably spent money in town. And more to your point, went away proud. Hey, this is the justification for public funding (or tax breaks) for sports teams, which only benefit some of the population. But who can't benefit from a zoo? See our story next week for more details.

Fantastic numbing anal lube
Reviewed: September 15, 2016 by SunshineLove, a Straight Married Male
We tried this after testing some other anal numbing products from Lovehoney.
My partner likes anal but is a bit sensitive to pain on entry and finds it off-putting and a mood killer.
This does the job, it doesn't have any horrible smell, it numbs the area within a few seconds and does not need lots of reapplying. It also does not numb my manhood either so a total win for us and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good desensitizing anal lubricant.
- Pros
- Overall effectiveness.
- Cons
- Nothing, all good!
- Bottom line
- An excellent desensitizing anal lube.

Does as it says
Reviewed: March 26, 2016 by surferw, a Straight Going Steady Male
Highly recommended for beginner and boundary-pushing!
This stuff is nice and thick, so easy to apply, and really does desensitise to make things a lot more comfortable.
Had a small bottle to try initially and decided that as it worked we would get a bigger one to keep things going.
Would recommend this over a standard anal lube if you are thinking of exploring this type of play.
- Pros
- It works.
- Cons
- Nothing.

- Great.

Making entry pain-free
Reviewed: February 15, 2015 by Jayff, a Gay Married Male
Me and my hubby thought we'd give this product a go. Him because he's so tight and finds penetration uncomfortable verging on painful, me because I'm expanding my horizons (if you get my drift) and larger toys can be difficult to start off with.
On first inspection, I was a little put off by the wording on the back of the bottle because it sounded very medical in tone of warnings and that it was for external use only. But having bought it, I decided we'd give it a go anyway and I'm so glad we did!
After a few pumps a translucent thick gel (almost like a paste) emerged, which actually made application easier. Having smeared it all around my anus and inside, I left it a minute or two while I greased up the waiting dildo.
To cut a long story short, it slipped inside real easy with no discomfort. A great result as far as I'm concerned. I will certainly be using this lube again whenever I need a little help in accommodating toys. No regrets from my hubby either!
- Pros
- Effective and fast action, makes entry pain-free.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Great product and does exactly what it says on the tin.

There is nothing like driving, whether you are on a road trip, driving back roads for pleasure, or simply heading to work in the morning. There are thousands of accessories meant to make the driving experience much more enjoyable, but you need something that completely transforms the act of driving. Some are irreverent and others are lifesavers, but they are all must-haves for the frequent driver.
From Emoticons to Drivemocions
Have you ever wanted to let the driver behind you know how angry you are about their high beams or tailgating tendencies? Ever wanted to thank the woman who let you get in during rush hour's heavy traffic congestion? If you feel the need to communicate with other drivers on the road but do not want to risk having a serious road rage moment, you need some emoticons. They are good enough for telegraphing your emotions over the Internet, so why not on the road?
All you need is a product like the Drivemocion EX Series LED Light Sign. Install it so the LED expressions shine through your back window and let your fellow drivers know exactly how you feel. An angry face is an ideal alternative to flipping the bird, while a sad face lets the guy behind you know that if he does not stop riding your bumper, you will cry—or maybe slam on your brakes.
Taking Hands-Free to the Next Level
With so many states incorporating laws against texting and driving or even using your cell phone when you''re behind the wheel, hands-free devices are literal lifesavers. They allow you to communicate without putting yourself or other drivers at risk. Instead of relying on standard accessories, however, try a mounted hands-free device. The Steering Wheel Mount Bluetooth Caller ID is perfect. Mounted right in the steering wheel, it lets you use voice activation to make calls, send text messages, and you can even listen to your favorite MP3s or FM stations.
Knight Rider Never Had Night Vision
If you have problems with night-driving or simply want to drive more safely in general, take your rear-view mirrors to the next level. Many cars now come with back-up sensors and detectors. More than just a mirror, these are monitors with anti-glare coating. They actually show you live feed video from a camera that you mount on your license plate. If you are backing up, trying to merge lanes, or parallel parking at night, they can easily save your car from an impact.
Going Green with Your GPS
GPS devices get better every day, but thus far nothing beats devices like the Ecoroute Navigation. Like a standard GPS, it gets you where you want to go without getting you lost. However, it also chooses the route that offers the most fuel efficiency for your particular vehicle. At the same time, the manufacturers promise that this GPS will cut your carbon emissions by an amazing 30 percent. In addition to finding the best routes for your trip, you are helping the environment.
There are lots of great automotive gadgets available, it is just a question of finding the best. What types of gadgets change the way you drive?

I felt so lucky to spend a lot of time here. Schedules and weather are a bit crazy in Antarctica. You never know how long you're gonna be somewhere. Shackleton's hut is not easy to get to and we had to be choppered in. We didn't know if we'd have an hour or longer. But it turns out we were there for about 12 hours, which was really awesome because we could take our time and get all the shots we wanted.

LINGAYEN, Pangasinan, July 26 (PNA) -- The provincial government, led by Governor Amado T. Espino Jr., expressed full support to the countrys campaign to make the Puerto Princesa Underground River as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature.
Espino called on all provincial government officials and employees and the people of the entire province to participate in the text drive called "Atin To, Ating Iboto Lahat Panalo" text drive in the global search to make the Palawan natural wonder in the list of world's New 7 Wonders of Nature.
Corollary to this, Provincial Administrator Rafael Baraan led the synchronized text voting in a brief launching program held after the regular flag-raising ceremony July 25 at the Capitol Plaza here, participated in by provincial department heads, guest officials from the Department of Education (DepEd) and province's different departments.
Baraan encouraged all Pangasinenses to support the nationwide voting campaign launched by no less than President Benigno S. Aquino III who stressed that the pride of Puerto Princesa is the pride of the entire nation.
This will be made possible by casting votes via sending texts or thru the internet.
The Puerto Princesa underground river was chosen earlier as one of the 28 global finalists and the top 7 will be finally known November 11 this year.
Ma. Luisa A Elduayan, Provincial Tourism Officer, said the campaign was launched thru Proclamation No. 182 issued by the President last month and implemented locally by virtue of Memorandum Circular 106 issued by the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).
To vote, anyone can just text PPUR7 or PPUR15 and send to 2861 (applies to all networks) or simply log on to www.new7wonders.com.
The synchronized launching of the campaign was simultaneously held in all provinces, municipalities and cities in the entire country as an expression of support to one of the countrys most popular natural treasures. (PNA)

The beautiful vaulted ceilings provided the most wonderful acoustics.
I'll leave you with a clip of the moving piece we so enjoyed at the concert.
Wishing you all a good week.
I'm envious! There's so much to see in London and you've captured it beautifully - the street art, the shop, the Savoy! The cafe in the crypt looks pretty nice, too. What a wonderful day.ReplyDelete
Loving your photos. Makes me want to visit London again! The cafe in the crypt looks interesting.XReplyDelete
What a great day out you had! xxReplyDelete
What a wonderful way to celebrate a 65th birthday. Everything is so beautiful; St Martins in the Fields with those chandeliers, the Savoy with that amazing afternoon tea, you in a phone box and that piece of harp music. We've just really enjoyed listening to it. Apparently Q studied that piece for O Level music and somehow I knew it because I was singing along. I think it must have been courtesy of my dad, who liked to play classical music for us. I bet that concert was just magical. I love seeing photos of you. Keep them coming! :) xxxReplyDelete
Firstly I do like a bit of daftness in a phone box!! Thanks for the ticky tour and I say go for it with photos in posh places, especially the bathroom, pretty flash place.ReplyDelete
I've just had my dinner and I'm still drooling at the cakes! What a wonderful day out. xReplyDelete
Oh what a most wonderful and memorable celebration! What a great day you all had ~ thanks so much for sharing all the sights, sounds and tastes! A cuppa in the cafe in the crypt, made me smile...but the tea in the Savoy had my eyes popping out... lovely music to end with. A very happy birthday and congratulations on her long nursing career ~ReplyDelete
The Savoy looks amazing! Now firmly on my must-do London list. Lovely photos to mark a very special day xxReplyDelete
Great set of photos, what a place to visit..

Can you organise my 65th birthday bash please? :-D what a gorgeous day you had and the tea looked amazing! I've been wanting to go to one of those free concerts for a while, I listened to the video, it's beautiful, lovely as always to see your photo's and you always make me laugh too. The pint of cider anecdote was hilarious and I had no idea you drove the snow ploug, there's no end to your talents! XxReplyDelete
What a lovely day out in London with your aunt and a perfect way to celebrate her birthday and retirement after 40 years in nursing! I've visited St. Martin's-in-the-Fields and eaten in the crypt, but tea at the Savoy must have been the best experience.ReplyDelete
I love these scavenger hunt photos. So fun. My goodness. That political chalk artist has the nicest hand printing!ReplyDelete
That looks like a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday! Love the cheeky shot of you in the phone box and The Savoy looks magnificent! xxxReplyDelete
HI Fiona - the tea at the Savoy looks amazing - I haven't had a day out in London in a long time.ReplyDelete
I love St Martin in the fields church. I think all churches should have shops under them. It would make church going rather more enticing! ;) xxReplyDelete

Great fit, no slide, dressy-looking leggings! PLEASE,,, I have been sewing up my seems because I just can't give up these pants. Bring back the black and other colors too!!
Please LTS, bring these same leggings back! Like so many others have stated these are my favorite leggings, ever. Had I known they would run out of stock I would have purchased 6 or 7 additional pairs! Ironically, I don't normally wear leggings except at the gym or around the house. But once I put these on I knew that would change. The weight of these leggings is perfect for at least 3 seasons, if not 4 due to A/C in the office. The length is perfect. PLEASE bring these exact leggings back!
Why are these pants still out o f stock??? If you are no longer able to get them, you should tell your valued customers. Please don't leave us hanging that they out of stock!
Great leggings. Thick material for winter.
Love these! These pants look great with flats o books. By far my favorite pants! the panel make everything look smooth. Please bring these back in black and gray! The waist band is also a great width, or even go a little wider!!
Not a good design.
I love these pants! Please, please get more in stock soon so I can order another pair. I hope you are not discontinuing them?
These are wonderful. They don't fit like a tight legging but more like a slim trouser which I love. They are high quality thick fabric and super comfy. PLESE BRING BACK ALL SIZES! I wanted to buy some more but my size has been out for a LONG time! :)
The hidden support leggings are by far my favorite LTS purchase ever. I wear them nearly every day throughout the winter. They go with almost everything. These leggings are sleek, flattering, and comfortable. Look and feel much more expensive and luxurious than jersey leggings. Wash beautifully and always look new. I normally wear size 10 (USA) in LTS and the medium fits superbly. I agree that "tummy control" is not the reason to buy them, but they make my legs look great. Would give 10 stars!
There is definitely a lot of support in these, but I didn't love them. They were too long (can't believe I'm saying that) and bunch up at the knee when you sit or walk. I returned them. Still looking for my perfect legging.....
Really pleased with these leggings, they feel great on and are of a more heavier weight than I have bought before, but are still not too bulky. Have only tried them on, so hope they will maintain their fit.
These leggings are very comfy and supportive too, I've just had a baby and they hold my tummy in nicely. I've only given them 4 stars as they are a little baggy round the ankles, making them look more like well fitted trousers than leggings, I have the xl, maybe the large will be a better fit once I've lost my baby belly.
This is the first time I have found the perfect legging. Thick, firm fabric which holds in any 'bulges' and feels supportive when worn-great for the over 50's. Leg length is perfect and pretty much true to size. My only complaint is, why does this legging only come in one colour? Would love to have the same in chocolate, kakhi, grey etc. I don't mind paying a bit more for this legging than the others, as the quality is fantastic-you get what you pay for.
Tried these at at a pop up shop in LA...so comfortable! I bought 2 pairs, small. Perfect length. Perfect rise (I'm fairly long waisted). Nice thick material. I'm lanky with few curves and they fit more like a snug trouser or skinny pant...not quite as snug as other leggings, but this works great for me. They look fantastic with boots and tunic sweater, long blouse, or tank top and cardigan. I also really like how the material brushes off well...doesn't catch every piece of lint. would buy again!
I purchased these in an XS and I love them. Super thick QUALITY material and NOT see through!! XS is snug on me which is what I wanted- for reference I am a size 2-4 (US sizing). I just ordered a Small so I have another one for a more relaxed fit as well. As far as hidden support- I don't think they offer much, but they look really nice either way. Thank you!
very comfortable. not sure how much "control" they add with the built-in liner up top, but the wide waistband and high rise is very smooth under tunics. great with boots or ballet flats. I'm a medium and they fit well as a legging/skinnypant. If I wanted 'em really snug I'd go down to a small. I have a lanky, slender build.
I ordered these in large and medium because I was unsure how they fit. I think for a support legging they need to do the sizing a bit smaller. My size was somewhere between large and medium. I ended up keeping the medium because I wanted them to fit as a legging not as a skinny trouser how the large was through the leg. They are comfortable and I do like them. Maybe see how it goes and order another pair.
Nice fit. Exactly what I wanted. I had purchased four of the longer, tight fitting tunic tops that were 2 for $50. All of my leggings showed too much tummy poking out. These work quite well. They are not "tight" or like wearing Spanx or anything, so don't expect too much. They DO help, though. Can be dressed up or down. Bonus: I also got them on sale!

Even in the middle of the night, when we are filled with uncertainty and doubt, we can find help in all the things that we value and so we give thanks on this day. Thanksgiving, 2013
I currently live in the vicinity of the Twin Ridge Wind Farm in Southern Somerset County PA. I am deeply saddened of the effects my husband and I suffer as a result of the turbine project being directly in our backyard. I want to commend you in your efforts to fight for what you believe in. We only wish that we would have known what we were in for and did research on the effects that we might have to suffer as a result of these terrible structures. The serene surroundings that we were use to living around is totally gone. If you want to research the devastating effects that one might have to endure, by all means come to our 150 acre property that sits next to 9 of the 68 turbines erected in southern Somerset County, Pennsylvania. We can provide information on the suffered effects that we have had to endure.

Projects - Residential
Dougan Dwelling at Ballydougan
This project is featured in the April 2008 edition of Ireland Homes and Interiors.
The major design feature requested by the Client was to have an open plan ground floor with no rooms within the main living space of the dwelling and make the kitchen the central focal point.
Because there was a need to have a chimney for a wood burning oven in the middle of the kitchen, this feature became central in the Structural Design of the building and it was decided to open up the space around this at first floor level through to the roof, and flood the entire middle area of the dwelling with light through first floor gallery area, off which are the main bedrooms and ancillary accommodation.

Literature and Democracy.
In the work On Democracy Robert Dahl ponders the logic of democracy. Why is equality, the foundation of American democracy, so difficult in process?
A system of government inevitably rears with it a system of hegemony. Hegemony is the power or dominance that one social group holds over others. The structure of authority and exercise of social power relies heavily on ideological influence from hegemonic powers. Throughout most of this post, I will be referring to hegemony as the power that American government, big business, and mass media combined hold over all other diverse social institutions and groups in America, in particular, women. That being said, anything that affects women effects others as well. Laws and regulations lie within our social institutions, in our government, that dehumanize targeted individuals. Hegemony maintains its power through our internalization of these laws and representations of society, implications of what our identities should be. (Lull)
This hegemony was present at the time of Walt Whitman's Democratic Vistas.
The American Feminist Movement gained momentum in the 1850's with conventions breeding mass-petitions held in states where feminists were loud; New York, Indiana, Ohio, and Massachusetts. While certainly operative in their efforts, there being unprecedented circulation of critical topics such as women's education, women's rights going through divorce, property rights, and women's suffrage, strict gender roles interrupted their progress. Women were not afforded suffrage rights until nearly 70 years later, and even then, only white women gained these rights. Much like it does today, mass media during the Feminist Movement upheld stereotypical ideologies. Today, if we take a look at the industry of music videos we can easily identify the ideology of women's sexualization, like we see here and here. Everyone certainly internalizes these images, men learn to see women as sexual objects and women learn that their value is determined by their sexuality. However you can observe in your everyday life women defined by much more than their sexuality, although I have had a fair share of personal experience with objectification, I know at least that my value as a student is not measured by my sexuality, and that not all the men who surround me see me as a sexual object. Still, music videos today perpetuate ideologies that misrepresent our entire society and its nearly impossible not to internalize some of these messages.
Fredrick Grimke asserts that tabloids during the 1850's Feminist Movement misrepresented the movement by including stereotypical depictions of the 'feminist' woman who believed, according to these deceitful tabloids, "women should participate in "men's" occupations not only to the same extent but with complete similarity of workplace lifestyle, social customs, and behavior." The widespread publicity given to this movement was most often a falsified publicity. Women's oppression persisted through antebellum America and into the Civil War despite mid-century reform of white women's property rights. In this time, hegemony was most ubiquitous in the institution of marriage. This relationship between man and woman was predominately patriarchal. Laura C. Holloway, in 1871, spoke for women's rights against the federal government in a weekly women's rights newspaper, The Revolution, and stated the common experience of women at the time:
The immense majority of women are engaged in the same round of simple, but incessant domestic occupations; are separated from each other, and never come together in bodies to discuss their condition, or do anything to make their lives brighter, or to dignify existence, and render it something more than laboring machinery. (Holloway in Thomas)
Government policy undoubtedly manipulated these marriages in the way of influencing rigid gender roles. (Françoise)
So in this democratic republic, where a majority of individuals participated in peaceful practices to exercise their right to free speech and demand additional freedoms, hegemonic practices of federal government and mass media played a larger part in structuring ideologies than the masses.
Equality is so difficult in process in part because democracy breeds hegemony, subsequently producing inequality.
Walt Whitman, in his ambiguous piece "Democratic Vistas" plays both a victim of hegemony as well as an exemplar of counter-hegemony. In many ways, the thought process in this work reveals Whitman as ahead of his time.
For my part, I would alarm and caution even the political and business reader, and to the utmost extent, against the prevailing delusion that the establishment of free political institutions, and plentiful intellectual smartness, with general good order, physical plenty, industry, &c., (desirable and precious advantages as they all are,) do, of themselves, determine and yield to our experiment of democracy the fruitage of success. With such advantages at present fully, or almost fully, possess'd — the Union just issued, victorious, from the struggle with the only foes it need ever fear, (namely, those within itself, the interior ones,) and with unprecedented materialistic advancement — society, in these States, is canker'd, crude, superstitious, and rotten. Political, or law-made society is, and private, or voluntary society, is also. In any vigor, the element of the moral conscience, the most important, the verteber to State or man, seems to me either entirely lacking, or seriously enfeebled or ungrown.
The depravity of the business classes of our country is not less than has been supposed, but infinitely greater. The official services of America, national, state, and municipal, in all their branches and departments, except the judiciary, are saturated in corruption, bribery, falsehood, mal-administration; and the judiciary is tainted. The great cities reek with respectable as much as non-respectable robbery and scoundrelism. In fashionable life, flippancy, tepid amours, weak infidelism, small aims, or no aims at all, only to kill time. In business, (this all-devouring modern word, business,) the one sole object is, by any means, pecuniary gain. The magician's serpent in the fable ate up all the other serpents; and money-making is our magician's serpent, remaining to-day sole master of the field.
Here, Whitman, unlike many others throughout time, meditated all aspects of American democracy, offering his critiques punitively while also impressively upholding a particular sense of nationalism. He rebuked the hegemonic actions of these institutions, and in an act of counter-hegemony, asked the majority, the artists, the commons people, all men, to create a stronger power to unify themselves against the leading hegemonic powers. In this way Whitman was a revolutionary and a constructivist. A constructivist is aware of the ideologies that have been in place, yet questions them, in order to create new ideas which do not do away with the old ones completely, but rather maintain whatever value they see that exists within the previously held popular ideas and create more value by adding new thoughts and methods to test out new ideologies. Whitman wanted to contemplate what was and attempt to preserve the value of tradition but also use his experiences to imagine a more idealistic future.
Still, Whitman's luxuriously brave declarations inexorably lead to contradiction.
Whitman is justifiably duped by hegemony. Hegemony is not a direct stimulation of thought or action but a framing of all competing definitions of reality. (Lull) To an extent, everyone who works under a hegemonic dominance will not be able to escape it simply because hegemony gains and retains its power by creating a false reality.
Whitman knows very well the true meaning of equality, as he states it in this piece, "and with equal rights guaranteed to even the poorest and humblest of our forty millions of people" And yes, Whitman's proposals to American women arguably took a progressive tone.
Democracy, in silence, biding its time, ponders its own ideals, not of literature and art only — not of men only, but of women. The idea of the women of America, (extricated from this daze, this fossil and unhealthy air which hangs about the word lady,) develop'd, raised to become the robust equals, workers, and, it may be, even practical and political deciders with the men — greater than man, we may admit, through their divine maternity, always their towering, emblematical attribute — but great, at any rate, as man, in all departments; or, rather, capable of being so, soon as they realize it, and can bring themselves to give up toys and fictions, and launch forth, as men do, amid real, independent, stormy life.
However, Whitman was by no means the first or the most radical in the feminist movement. Echoing the chief ideology of gender roles and femininity, a woman was only humanized under the condition that they are maternal, negating his previous definition of equality. And the only thing of value that set women apart from men was maternity, but in all other spheres they would be best off trying to imitate men. Again, here:
But a literature underlying life, religious, consistent with science, handling the elements and forces with competent power, teaching and training men — and, as perhaps the most precious of its results, achieving the entire redemption of woman out of these incredible holds and webs of silliness, millinery, and every kind of dyspeptic depletion — and thus insuring to the States a strong and sweet Female Race, a race of perfect Mothers — is what is needed.
Many spectators of Whitman's work, like Vivian Pollack, author of The Erotic Whitman, who sought to analyze Whitman as a respondent of his time, similarly determined, "I see Whitman as having internalized the fierce antagonisms of his age and as fighting himself, among others, to create a more authentically "friendly" nature." In the same piece, under a section titled "In Loftiest Spheres" Pollack accurately summarizes the intersection of Whitman's feminist and anti-feminist proclamations.
…Whitman's disruption of his claims to empower women by situating them in social roles in which they are always poten-tially subordinated to men.[1] For complex personal and cultural reasons, Whitman tended to collapse the many possibilities contained in the word "Woman" into the single word "Mother," and then to extol the preemi-nence of maternal work over other contributions that women might make to culture, especially those that depend on self-determining thought and self-determining language. As we have seen, the erotic idiom of Leaves of Grass is rich and varied, but the idea of motherhood typically suggests a positive identity to the poet who resists "anything better than [his] own diversity" and who "moisten[s] the roots of all that has grown" (LG 1855, pp. 41, 46). I will argue that however necessary the figure of the good mother-muse was to Whitman's "scattering" psyche, for women readers this motherist function can be oppressive as well as empower-ing.[2]Consequently…his resistance to linguistically totalizing norms and his reaffirmation of the mid-nineteenth-century American cult of the mother, which celebrated maternity as any woman's supreme destiny and which, to a significant degree, depended on a code of silence about the unloftiness of the lives many women were living. The tension between Whit-man's embrace of the new (for example, the fully audible female voice) and his embrace of the old (for example, the institution and practice of idealizing maternity as a depoliticizing, universalizing trope) has, I be-lieve, interpretative power for other vexed issues in Whitman's poetry, all of them having to do with his ambivalence toward the cultural changes that he himself was helping to inaugurate.
This inspection is not to devalue the work of Whitman, for, as examined, it is a rarity that an individual recognizes, and even more atypical for them to antagonize, the hegemony that indisputably constructs portions of their identity.
But is it not often found in literature, the grappling's with internal struggle, the recognition of the matters that define a particular moment in time?
And although frequently tainted by some illogicality, still, these intimate and critical essays are exactly what democracy should look like.

Benefits of real production-volume and high-design-quality builds of this sort would be:
- Real QC. On the factory floor. Instead of which we get 'Inspections' on site by underpaid, ratty, barely competent TLA staff, who do however have the fulll power to halt the job until that weather seal or bracket or widget is tweaked, adjusted, or otherwise have Yet Mo' Cost sunk into it. And the Next 'Inspection' will be by a different minion, with different ideas, but just as much Power to Obstruct.....
- Real assembly, by staff who can be closely supervised, timed, who use highly automated tools, and a whole lotta CNC wizardry. Instead of the slapped together on site approach, by drug-addled hammer hands, loosely supervised, but of course wearing HiVis, and wearing Approved Safety Hats (tin-foil lined on Karamea and Waiheke jurisdictions) and Steel-capped Boots. Talking around with earthquake repair guys, it seems that having floors 30-40mm out of level, gibbing ceilings that are the same out of square, etc, is par for the course in new on-site builds....
- Real design. Conduits and designated ducts for all services (black/grey/potable water, electrics of various voltages (solar, 12vDC for marine-style LED's, 400V or 230V AC for appliances, workshop etc), gas, refrigerant (for heat transfer from fridges, driers, hot water etc to where it's needed) and so on. Maintainability is just so poor (because not designed in) in most current housing. Doesn't need to be this way.
- Real cost advantages. High-volume, yet customised production lines. Low, but highly skilled, labour requirements. Low margin possible if enough volume passes through. Possibility of deals with financing to provide an end-to-end type cover, and cut out the plethora of middle layers (ranging from the TLA Pre-Consent Discussion session (un-needed), through architects (replaced by CAD design, imported electronically), quantity surveyors (replaced by a BOM), and of course those Hammer Hands (and their local Tinny House).
But this approach will be thwarted, obstructed and outright blocked by the usual suspects:
- TLA's and employee guilds, who are not gonna let the real 'inspection' pass out of their clammy ineptocratic hands, into whole-product factorys' certification....
- TLA's who see a luvverly lucrative revenue stream, produced by demanding Extra Time Everywhere at an Exorbitant Hourly Rate, threatened.
- Building Standards wallahs, who will have about as much to do with eventual housing quailty as happens with vehicles or boats (Peter Cresswell's favourite example)
- The materials cartel, who have a really nice lock of the individual-component market, and who will find ways to either take over or block any such real 'competition'
- I'm sure eager common taters can thinka more along these lines.
So I have a confident Prediction.
Nice thought.
Won't Happen.

Common Core is a single symptom of the terminal disease called federalization of education. Those who focus solely on Common Core will once again witness the educational system succumb to federal control of academic standards, curriculum, testing, student loans, teacher-preparation programs: the entire educational system.
A patient will die when he insists on treating an acute cough with cold medicine when the cause of the cough is the cancer sarcoidosis.
Historically, those rejecting federal overreach have focused on a specific educational policy or symptom rather than focusing on the cause of the disease. Consequently, federal leaders have changed the names of the policies granting citizens a false sense of accomplishment while the policy incubates quietly and the terminal disease continues to spread.
The infection of federal control has spread throughout the educational system. Once the federal government influenced academic standards, it began controlling curriculum including testing and accountability components, a final phase of the cancer.
Focusing on Common Core is no more effective than dealing with a single symptom of a more dangerous disease. People miss additional symptoms of the cancer which quickly overcomes its host.
When the federal government seized control of the student loan program, the outstanding education debt became about $1.2 trillion and the students of 2012 had an average college debt of $29,400. This symptom is slowly choking ethics and effectiveness out of the educational system. When the federal government regulated the student loan program, it gained power to manipulate college-educated voters and to determine merit needed to qualify for those loans.
Senator Elizabeth Warren is hoping to purchase votes with her proposal to allow students to refinance their loans at a lower interest rate. The loss of revenues will be covered with a tax on the wealthy. Students who do not need to refinance their loans will be receiving a handout from the federal government.
There was a time when our citizenry would never ask one person to surrender his property to provide political gain or advantage to another.
Our Future, Our Teachers, a plan created by the U.S. Department of Education to federalize teacher-preparation programs, will be using tax dollars to fund the college education of students of specific nationalities first. Others will be granted those advantages only if openings remain.
The federalization of education is politicizing our educational and our financial systems while completely changing the value systems once held dear by American citizens.
Eliminating Common Core will not eliminate the data collection systems, the federally shaped APUSH history curriculum, the federally supported Next Generation Science Curriculum, or the federally influenced National Sexuality Education standards. Eliminating Common Core will not deal with the federalization of the student loan program or the federalization of teacher-preparation programs. Addressing the federalization of education, a terminal disease, will remove those symptoms and cure the patient.
The most effective way to stop Common Core and the federalization of the educational system is to reject all federal policies at the local level and demand that federal statutes governing education be followed. State constitutions granting states autonomy over education must be honored. State laws governing local-control of schools and language identifying parental rights must be implemented. This is the only way that problems presented by Common Core will be successfully stopped. Citizen involvement is the only medicine that will cure the cancer of federal overreach.
Abraham Lincoln is credited with saying, "The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation is the philosophy of government in the next." History proves this observation to be true.

Quality of Care
As Elmwood is set in an old house it has a real family atmosphere, our children are cared for in a loving and nurturing environment, 'a home away from home'. The children thrive on the positive relationships between staff, children and parents which help ensure they develop into happy, confident and successful learners.
As a parent myself I know how important child safety is, as adults we have a duty to ensure the safety of our little ones, protecting their innocence without jeopardising their sense of freedom and natural curiosity. We have a two tier security system, not only is the nursery building secure at all times but the grounds themselves are fully secured with a CCTV and buzzer entry system so our parents can rest assured that their children can play, learn and explore safely.
In order to ensure we are meeting the needs of all our children we follow the GIRFEC 'Getting It Right For Every Child' Guidance
What is Getting it right for every child?
It's a consistent way for people to work with all children and young people. It's the bedrock for all children's services and can also be used by practitioners in adult services who work with parents or carers. The approach helps practitioners focus on what makes a positive difference for children and young people – and how they can act to deliver these improvements. Getting It Right For Every Child is being threaded through all existing policy, practice, strategy and legislation affecting children, young people and their families.
What Getting It Right For Every Child means for children, young people and their families:
- They will feel confident about the help they are getting
- They understand what is happening and why
- They have been listened to carefully and their wishes have been heard and understood
- They are appropriately involved in discussions and decisions that affect them
- They can rely on appropriate help being available as soon as possible
- They will have experienced a more streamlined and co-ordinated response from practitioners
What Getting It Right For Every Child means for practitioners:
- Putting the child or young person at the centre and developing a shared understanding within and across agencies
- Using common tools, language and processes, considering the child or young person as a whole, and promoting closer working where necessary with other practitioners
What Getting It Right For Every Child means for managers in children's and adult services:
- Providing leadership and strategic support to implement the changes in culture, systems and practice required within and across agencies to implement Getting It Right For Every Child
- Planning for the transition as staff in agencies move from the current working processes to the new child-centred processes
We know how busy life is with young children so in order to maintain strong links between home and nursery we offer parents many avenues for communication. In addition to the usual methods such as emails, news letters and daily verbal feedback, we have recently introduced an Online Profiling system which allows parents to login anytime, anywhere to a secure site to view their child's progress and achievements, get a taste of their child's learning experiences at nursery and leave comments if they wish.

Brandt, Elizabeth
I thought I posted , but not sure if I sent it or not.
First of all my condolences to Betty's family. She was one of the few people that would say hi to us on her walks when we first moved into our house. See always had the latest on what was going on in the neighborhood. Not only that, but she was well known for her zucchini bread. If I helped her out with something she would always hand me a loaf of zucchini bread. A few days ago the mail lady had asked me what happened to Betty. When I told her she had told me that every once in a while she would come out with a loaf of her zucchini bread for her. She told me that it meant a lot to her. I would always she her walking in the early evening or late afternoon and if I was driving by I would honk and sometimes if I saw her walking by I would go outside to talk to her. Betty sure will be missed and has been for the last few months.

I felt so excited, even though it was not my barkday (boo... hoo...).
|My first instinct was to wake him up...
|...but he's such a 'lazy bones'!
With a little help from Missus, I had bought him a card...
|... which had a cute version of me on it!
|"So, what do you think Dad? Do you like them?"
As this was such a special occasion, we celebrated with a feast!
|As usual, this was me in the kitchen worshipping the 'Lamb God'!
|"Must... Resist... Temptations."
|And, finally, here's my portion!
|"Happy Barkday Dad! I woof you with all my heart!"

Another year in the books! As I sit here at my desk wishing I could go for a ride to release the stresses of the day, I remember that it is only 15 degrees out. For me that is just a little too cold even with the heated jacket liner I picked up last fall. Extending the riding season into late fall was great, but January is just a little too extreme for this biker. Between the frigid temps and ice/extra dirt on the road, I think that waiting until it gets nicer out is the smart thing for me to do.
On the other hand, I know there are a lot of readers out there who ride year-round in warmer climates. For all of you, I have only one thing to say "appreciate what you have" because I would do almost anything for a "ride" about now. When I lived in Florida a few years back the riding season was much longer, but I find myself thinking back to how much I rode. Comparatively I think the miles per year are about the same, but now I am just riding those miles in Iowa in a shorter amount of time. The reasoning? Well it's probably because I know I have to get it in while I can.
I have been wondering about the "extreme" riders who ride year-round in rain, sleet, and snow. Is it really that enjoyable? You get dressed up like an Eskimo, so none of your skin is showing and weigh about 20 pounds more because of all the leather (losing a lot of mobility). There are so many variables to take into consideration when riding in good weather, but riding in the winter or just bad weather, those variables increase so much more. Maybe it's the thrill or just the pure enjoyment of being on two wheels.
Don't get me wrong, I have had my share of riding in less than favorable conditions. One of these times took place last year while on a dealer ride in the Rockies. I got caught in a really bad rain storm which turned into a snowstorm. Riding over a switchback mountain pass in the snow is quite daunting and not something that I would consider doing again on a Suzuki M109R if given a choice. It was weird how small I felt and how big the situation was around me. Soaked to the bone, no visibility, and with the bike sliding from line to line on the road, I took my time and made it through. Now I have one really good "Riding Story."
So my question for you is: What are the most extreme riding conditions you have ridden in and why were you riding in those conditions?

By: David Lynch's Dog (Six Pack) –
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to 1988. There's no musical spin-off, no movie spin-off of the musical spin-off, no Zac Efron with Elvis Presley hair (damn shame, ladies… am I right?), no John Travolta in a fat suit. We're talking the original Hairspray that started it all.
A Toast
Hairspray is a whirlwind tour/parody of the 60s: the big hair, the Mash Potato, beatniks, teens in fairgrounds, diet pills, segregation, the poor condition of mental health care, and pastel colours. Phew. Director John Waters is well known to be the king of kitsch and Hairspray gleefully unfolds like Grease meets the B-52s. Trashy and ever so cool, it's a pretty good way to go for hipsters who have exhausted every possibility for a Wes Anderson GIF and need a new direction to head in. I mean for one thing, the fashion in this movie is a vintage store's wet dream, and the corny 60s dance scenes that dominate much of this average-girl-becomes-dancing-queen tale are so charming it's hard really not to join in, meaning I wouldn't recommend watching this with any sober professor types. What you need to do for that is rent A Beautiful Mind, watch it once before they arrive, and then solve all the maths problems before the character does and BANG, instant doctorate.
Fashion so good, three Topshops have imploded on themselves in shame.
Every line is delivered with the same staged, grandiose, arch tone of drag queen Divine, with a certain level of amateur awkwardness which just adds to the cult feel of the movie. This is bad acting done right. Ricki Lake sneers at the uptight, racist squares; they respond by pouting and throwing hissy fits. And not to turn this movie into some kind a diatribe against modern body issues, but it is pretty sweet to see a heroine have a makeover without having to shed a pound.
When you get down to it, this story has a big, big heart, thanks to the can-do optimism of its protagonists. It's easy to think the caricatured peoples who populate Water's world and the bombastic visuals exploding on screen like pastel vomit would leave this movie crass and soulless, but there's a whole lot more soul than first meets the eye. Because of this, Hairspray is a great introduction for those totally unfamiliar with the world of John Waters, working perfectly as feel-good dance movie which deserves a place up there with Dirty Dancing and Footloose, avoiding any of the really out-there antics some of his other movies cook up (I'm talking the whole Pink Flamingos…dog…incident. If you don't know what I'm talking about, for the love of god don't Youtube it).
Also, Debbie Harry Debbie Harry Debbie Harry Debbie Harry is in this movie. YES. Her giant hair is so good in this movie I want to cry.
Funny, stylish, and gloriously trashy, this is the kind of movie people who have any claim on the title "cool" should count among their favourites.
Bonus Drinking Game
Take a Drink: every time you find yourself bopping along to those classic 60s numbers.
Take a Drink: every time you actually inadvertently end up off the couch pulling your moves.
Take a Drink: every time you bemoan the modern age with its flat hair and robot music.

The most relevant line pertaining to space-based mind control was omitted in later versions of the bill:
The terms `weapon' and `weapons system' mean a device capable of any of the following:...(ii) Inflicting death or injury on, or damaging or destroying, a person (or the biological life, bodily health, mental health, or physical and economic well-being of a person)...(II) through the use of land-based, sea-based, or space-based systems using radiation, electromagnetic, psychotronic, sonic, laser, or other energies directed at individual persons or targeted populations for the purpose of information war, mood management, or mind control of such persons or populationsAssuming this definition was redefined as an 'undeveloped mean' in later versions, would a space-based mind control weapon developed in secrecy still apply? And would the damage now have to be strictly physical instead of psychological considering the physical nature of the other redrafted definitions?
The purview of the bill also excludes putting a ban on any surveillance, reconnaissance or remote sensing activities that are not related to space-based weapons or systems. As clarification of this point Mr. Kucinich's website says "The use of space-based reconnaissance and intelligence equipment would be permitted". Does this mean a space-based system which facilitates telepathy is not a weapon? Or is it only considered a weapon when it is used for mind control. And what about the privacy of thought? Are we entitled to having our thoughts private or are they open for capture from space-based systems?
In my view there should be legislation banning these systems. It's the safe thing to do. For those affected it would grant rights and for the disbelievers it should not matter, it's not real, right?

This outlines our trip to the 1998 MREF. Beware, this site contains many graphics, and may take awhile to load. The Fair began this year on June 19th, a Friday, and ended on Sunday the 21st. There were tons of exhibitors, workshops to attend, and lots of food. Hope you made it! Anyway, these pictures don't even begin to explain how the Fair was. Hope you make it next year.
Well, that pretty much shows our trip to the Energy Fair, except I personally don't think that words can describe the whole experience.
If you have questions about when the Fair is, or where it is, then E-mail us...........
