20 March — 16 May 2015
GRAD's new exhibition 'Borderlands' seeks to challenge the line often drawn today between art and social comment, between aesthetics and activism.
From a brick sculpture that recalls the recently redrawn map of the Ukraine to footage of young Moscovites filmed on a mobile phone, the display presents the work of contemporary Russian and Ukranian artists. We have invited artists working in different media to explore whether art made today in their countries can be both politically engaged and have aesthetic value of its own. Zhanna Kadyrova (Kiev) and ZIP collective (Krasnodar) will build their installations on site, while Nikita Shokhov (Moscow) and Evgeny Granilshchikov (Moscow) will present their photo and video works.
20 March — 16 May 2014
Curated by Sergey Khachaturov
Photographs by Sophia Schorr-Kon
Borderlands studies the fault lines of art and politics, challenging divisions between the territories of aesthetics and activism. Emerging and established artists from Russia and Ukraine present work concerned with change and conflict in their current political and social situations. The works on display range in media, encompassing film, sculpture, photography and textiles, yet they all share a concern with outer form as well as inner meaning. Named after marginal territories that overlap with imprecision, the exhibition addresses the contemporary shift of borders between art and action, art and activism, art and life.
Zhanna Kadyrova
Untitled, 2014 brick wall, wallpaper
The outline of Zhanna Kadyrova's sculpture is deliberately reminiscent of the shape of Ukraine; its rough edges and fallen bricks suggest the annexation of Crimea and its economic collapse. One side of the wall is lined with original Soviet wall paper, the other is blackened from fire damage. Created in 2014, as Russia commenced its military intervention in Ukraine, Kadyrova's piece reflects the uneasy atmosphere of this time. Its scale also recalls the tradition of monumental sculpture which has been largely discredited in recent decades. Kadyrova thus engages in dialogue not only with her forerunners, the artists of the Russian avant-garde, but also with prominent contemporary practitioners such as Tony Cragg or Hans Haacke

Brain-twister, Elementary Workbook, 2015, printed paper brochure
The work of the ZIP group functions as interactive art, involving the viewer both in a game and a performance that encourage tolerance and the acceptance of 'otherness'. The costumes, designed as a peaceful protest gesture, reference the agitprop experiments of the highly politicised leftist theatre, from the aesthetics of Malevich's opera Victory over the Sun to the utility clothing of constructivists Rodchenko and Stepanova. The brochure 'Brain-twister', ostensibly a schoolbook of educational tests, recalls both the theatre of the absurd and the work of the Fluxus movement, offering the viewer charades and puzzles that are clearly unsolvable.
Nikita Shokhov
Without Dictatorship of the Gaze, 2013, lightboxes
Nikita Shokhov's series of photographs subverts the capacity of the photographic image to represent its subject from a single perspective. In the place of taking an instant photograph, he scans a scene for 41 seconds, producing a fragmented and distorted result. This process models a static image in a dynamic way, enabling the viewer to see the subject of the work from multiple viewpoints. Shokhov often selects official demonstrations and political marches as his subject matter, drawing attention to how such events are presented. Such an experiment, casting doubt on the veracity of images and highlighting their potential for manipulation recalls not only the photomontage tradition created by Vertov and Eisenstein but also the more recent work of Gerhard Richter.
Evgeny Granilschikov
Courbet's Funeral, 2014, video filmed on mobile phone duration: 11'33 min
Evgeny Granilshchikov's film examines the influence of the contemporary political and social situation on individuals in Russia who are interrogating their own historical heritage. The work is a video-collage composed of sequences filmed on a mobile phone. Incorporating both real-life footage and performance, Granilshchikov makes it difficult for viewers to distinguish one from the other, thus involving them in the creative act. The charged poetic atmosphere and non-linear editing recall the work of experimental film-makers such as Jean-Luc Godard or Miguel Gomes, as well as the new generation of artists working at the intersection of film and video art.
This spring our events will address all things contemporary. Keep checking for updates on our exciting upcoming programme, which is set to include lectures and film screenings as well as theatre and performance.
Towards the New Sublime: From Military Labs – to Art Spaces. Dr. Xenia Vytuleva
24 March 2015
In this lecture Dr Xenia Vytuleva (Columbia University) will explore the paradox of multiple realizations of Romanticism and the "Theory of Sublime" in contemporary architecture and artistic practices. The paper will seek to trace the lines of recent mutation in romantic vision, as well as the radical shift in its instrumental apparatus, caused primarily by accelerating the intersection of art experiments with military advanced technologies and discoveries of the "new dangers". Cases under discussion will include the monumentalisation of ephemerality in Cold War exhibition pavilions, as well as the new generation of Gesamtkunstwerk in contemporary museums discourse.
Dr Xenia Vytuleva is an architecture historian, theorist and curator. She holds a Ph.D. in Art History from Moscow State University. She is currently a visiting professor at Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation Columbia University in N.Y. A head researcher at the Institute of the Theory and History of Architecture (NIITIAG) at the Russian Academy of Science, Moscow, she is currently working on a book entitled "Aesthetics of Uncertainty in Experimental Practices of the 20th Century" and on the project "Heterotopias of the Cold War; Secret spaces in transition".

raccoons in sweet corn and not afraid of electric fence
This is the first time in our long history of gardening that raccoons have not been controlled with electric fencing. Our digital meter indicates our solar charged fencing gives off 6000v +. We are resorting to traps placed INSIDE the fence, and so far have caught 3, using tuna and marshmallows for bait. Earlier on they were breaching the AC-charged fence--only 2500 v.
I froze all my Kandy Korn in one day in order to get some. I have 8 patches of sweet corn( different varieties) and am worried about getting any more for the freezer. I like to give some to our neighbor and haven't been able to do that either.
Is there some kind of animal wisdom at work here that augurs a bad winter ahead?
This is not good. My 1250 V fence has worked well for about 10 years. Only once when grounded out by grass did the raccoons raid the sweet corn. Since then all is well as long as the 1250 V is maintained... Hopefully, high voltage coons are not in everyone's future.
You say your fence is solar powered? Are you sure it's working at night? The fence may work when directly powered, but the batteries could be shot or not working, and once the sun goes down, so does the fence. I can't see that raccoons would beable to get used to being shocked. Either the fence isn't working at night, or they have found a way to NOT get shocked. I agree also with Wayne, make sure the grounding is ship-shape; no ground = no shock.
IMO, you need a nonelectrified 6-8 foot metal fence with a floppy top.
It sounds like those raccoons have figured out a way to ground out your electric fence to get at the goodies.
Are there any busted strands or other openings that could have let them get in without touching a hot wire? Are the fence sections properly connected to each other?
Try walking around the fence, checking different strands, and see if there's anyplace that might have lost current.
It is most probably a dry weather failure. There is no rule that the fence should work, if the ground has no moisture it will not work.
I have two el. fences. One is at the top of a chainlink fence and AFAIK has never failed. You can imagine a groundhog climbing and connecting nose on the wire, paws on the fence, and of course the fence touches the ground in many places.
The other one has two wires, 4 and 8 inches above ground, and fails occasionally, always in dry weather, with the main entry point at a spot covered with wood chips. This one will get a drip line all around the perimeter, and a ground wire also all around the perimeter, next summer.
This summer has been very rainy and the ground is not dried out. It is still soggy.
Three years ago when woodchucks were violating the fence, I studied up on fencing issues and thereafter have added an additional ground wire directly on the ground. No more woodchucks.
Each morning before dawn and before we bought the digital meter, I would go out and check the solar fence with the lighted meter and it would show at least 3 lights (2500 volts). Could not read the meter unless somewhat dark out. So I don't think the battery is at fault. We bought a new battery this summer.
As to the number of wires: we now have a ground wire totally around the perimeter of the garden . This runs all the way back to the charger and/or the ground rod. Above that there are wires at four and eight inches off the ground. These are the shockers. Also at waist height is another wire, the "deer" wire.
Perhaps we need to get MORE ground rods. Is there any way to check the efficacy of this ground wire?
Only the passage of next winter will tell if my original question about animal wisdom has any validity.
Thanx for the many suggestions.
We trapped the fourth raccoon this morning, inside the fence. What I'm really concerned about are the grapes ripening so nicely inside another area (now protected with the AC charger). We were going to transfer the solar charger to the orchard after corn season. We actually now have two traps going in two separate corn patches. Sigh.
Checking an earth, deliberatly short the fence about 30meters from the earth post. test between the ground and the earth cable, if over 200v then use more stakes. If you don't have a tester, use your hand and if you feel a tingle - increase earthing.
Best place for an earth rod is in wet soil - below a dripping tap, under the eaves, in a stream bed or in a watered flower bed.
A very good technique is to bait the fence. Developed for difficult animals and is highly effective.
Here is a link that might be useful: Bait Caps
Surely you have checked the perimeter for shorts, and shorts also let in groundhogs and rabbits. Could it be that raccoons have taught one another to jump the fence? They are social animals. I knew a guy long ago who kept losing kois (a multicolored carp) from a pond, installed a fence, and had a brief respite. One night there was a storm that knocked out power, and the morning after several kois were missing. One may reasonably conclude that the raccoons were testing the fence most nights.
Try putting your ground wire between the two hot wires. With a good amount of fur, the coons could be crawling between the wires and not grounding themselves in good contact with the hot wires and the earth or the wire you have on the ground. I had a similar problem with coons getting through the wires in years past, but switched it so that the first hot wire was about 4" off the earth, then 5" higher was a ground wire wrapped around each metal stake it passed, then about 6" above that was a second hot wire. Coon problems stopped right away and I haven't had any since unless the fence was not on or something else caused it to ground out and go cold.
Thanx beeone. We will try that. Sometime ago I read an article from MSU that suggested using insulators inside and outside the metal stakes in order to make sure the pest touches the ground and the hot wire. Obviously we are obsessive about checking for plants grounding the fence, and, you might call me the 'Glyphosate Girl.' As I said at the outset, we have been gardening for a long time, and this is the first time we have been unable to control raccoons.
Thanx also Tokoloshe: will have husband do this test--I'm too chicken.
I agree re: when the ground is dry, they don't get much of a shock. At hvpsa.com I learned that I should run grounded wires between the hot wires. I also got a sensor from them that calls my cell phone when the fence goes down. But the alternating grounded wires solved all kinds of problems for me on my garden fence.
Here's a site that runs through the basics http://www.equisearch.com/farm_ranch/fencing/electricfence_021005/
Here is a link that might be useful: How to Select, Install Electric Fence
What kind of fencing are you using? Plain wire? The tapes and ropes wear out, so there could be one section that does not get a charge.
Have you checked the charge all the way around, top to bottom? Tedious I know, but we had one bottom strand that just had a bad connection. Took us all day to figure it out. Agree about putting a hot wire down low.
Do you have a ground rod? Rebar in the ground 8ft or so? That is what my ground wire goes to and all my fence wires are hot.
I agree with those who suggest that a poor ground may be the most likely culprit. For my fence, I drove in two 8-foot copper ground rods, the same ones they use for house grounding. The two rods are connected with heavy gauge copper wire. They work great through wet weather or dry... I just hope I never have to pull them out. ;-) Oh, and a fence pole driver made quick work of driving the rods for the first 6 feet.
No one has mentioned the wire yet. I started off using steel fence wire, but bought aluminum wire one year. Wow! What a difference! The spark was visibly stronger than it had been with steel, on the same charger. Aluminum wire is more expensive, but I highly recommend it, especially for long runs.
My method for fence testing isn't scientific, but it works. I use a rod with a rubber handle, but a garden trowel with a rubber handle works just as well. With the fence on, first ground the rod against a metal fence pole, then move the tip toward the wire. Hopefully as it nears, it will snap loudly, and you should see a fairly bright spark... in which case it is strong enough. If the spark is weak, then it probably won't keep raccoons out (or groundhogs). In that case, I would check for (1) bad connections; (2) poor ground; or (3) a weak fence charger. Also, check the insulators for dirt or debris which might allow a current path to the poles.
Chargers do go out, I had to replace mine after about 10 years of use. It still "worked", but the spark was so weak I could hold the wire.
All that being said... raccoons are very determined pests. The fence works best to discourage them from entering for the first time. If they get a taste of something they like before the fence is on, they will put up with a minor shock to get in. I got my fence up late one year, and the raccoons got a taste of the corn - they then found a way in even after I charged the fence. Fence chargers rated for use against predators (which can be similarly tenacious) are more effective - they really sting. They are also better at "burning" (killing) most vegetation that touches the wires.
My fence has chicken wire on the bottom, which I connect to an aluminum ground wire woven in a loop throughout the length of the fence. The chicken wire is stretched tightly enough so that it can't be pushed over. There are two closely-spaced hot wires just above the chicken wire, to discourage anything from climbing over. There are also two "deer wires", spaced just far enough apart so that I can climb over the first, and under the second. Fortunately, deer don't seem to grasp that concept.
Unfortunately, sometimes deer "bull rush" the fence, snapping the wires. I find tufts of their fur caught in the wires... that really had to hurt. :-o

Garofalmania: A Mental Condition
Truth of life number one: logic is anathema to left-wingers. Recently on the little-watched Current TV cable station, so-called "comedienne" Janeane Garofalo disgorged one of the most perfect examples of this truth of life that can ever be used as prima facia evidence.
Speaking about the rise of Herman Cain's bid for the GOP nomination for president, Garofalo released the "logic" of the left.
First a word about Mr. Cain. In case you have been living under a rock for the last year, Herman Cain is a businessman, a talk show host, a former executive of several multi-billion dollar companies, he is a man with a long list of degrees and such. Herman Cain is running to become the Republican nominee for president. He has for the last several years been a mainstay at Tea Party rallies all across the country and draws big, enthusiastic crowds among these conservative activists. He's a powerful speaker and really knows how to wind up an audience. Lately he's won several straw polls and is ranked no less than the number 3 candidate to take the Republican nomination. He is also black.
So, here is the tortured "logic" that Garofalo used to explain why Republicans are loving this guy — this black guy.
People like Karl Rove liked to keep the racism very covert. And so Herman Cain provides this great opportunity say you can say 'Look, this is not a racist, anti-immigrant, anti-female, anti-gay movement. Look we have a black man.
Yes, only in the illogical world of the hatemongers of the far left-wing can this make sense.
Think about this claim.
Garofalo is saying that a person that hates blacks will love a black man so that he can hide that he hates blacks!
There is no sense to this whatsoever.
You see, the thing that makes racism so potent is that it is unapologetic. Racists feel no compunction to hide the fact that they are racists. Their hate is visceral, not incidental. Their hate is the purpose of the concept, not just an accidental by product that can be pushed aside or ignored.
So, to say that someone can love the thing they hate to hide that they hate it… well, this is idiotic in the extreme.
But that is the left. Garofalo's foolishness is no different than the moral idiocy of someone that says that the U.S. is just the same as China or Iran, or that Israel is a "terrorist state." These people are so filled with hate for their political enemies and, consequently, so arrogant in their belief of their personal sagacity, that reality becomes entirely fungible and nothing has any real meaning at all. Anything can be bent, mutilated, or flat out ignored to fit their ideological point of view.
It gives one pause and evokes a certain amount of sympathy for the idea that liberalism a mental disorder, doesn't it?

I love this foundation! I'm kind of new to the foundation game and I like this one more than I do my Revlon Colorstay. I bought it in 120 Ivory and it matches perfectly. I have combo oily/dry skin and this is perfect. Doesn't accentuate the dry patches and with pressed powder, I'm not shiny after a few hours. This is not a full coverage foundation but I don't need that. I do have a lot of redness, but my primer takes care of that along with the two concealers I use (one of which is Rimmel). I've seen other reviews about it oxidizing and turning orange but I have never had that problem. I apply it with the Real Techniques miracle complexion sponge and it looks flawless! I'm not crazy about the spatula applicator though, I wish it were a pump, but that's not a big deal. The fact that it costs less that $4 at Walmart, you can't beat it!

This is a very inexpensive foundation. I randomly picked it up at Walmart and thought it might be nice to try. It claims to be good for sensitive and acne prone skin, fragrance free, and will give you a 100% poreless natural even complexion.... Well I liked the foundation at first until I realized that it oxidizes really bad... I'm talking ugly orange blotches... I also found this foundation to be unsuccessful because it does not work well with my oily skin. So if you have oily skin don't bother with this. Not sure who would like this foundation... If you want orange skin this is the foundation for you.

so i have purchased this foundation and at the very first day i tried it, it had a very dewy finish to my skin but i noticed that the foundation colour had a greyish tint on my face, although the finish was great. So i liked it so much on my skin on the FIRST DAY, i decided to go and purchase another bottle so i can get my exact colour and in my mind i thought ok probably this will be as good. Boy was i wrong... it oxidized to a very ugly colour..
price is good, and u will always find it on sale somehow at drugstores
packaging is ok , sometimes the wand that they gave drops a bit of the product so i prefer a different sort of make up applicator for this product
will i purchase again? NO...
it oxidizes so quickly, and gives you a very strange colour, even after i mixed both foundations i still got a very ugly oxidized colour, where its not yellow or pink toned, its grey and it looked like i didnt wash my face for a while , a very ruddy unwashed face look.
but if u got the right colour and it did not oxidize, its easy to blend especially with a round brush and it gives u a flawless dewy look.

This foundation is ok, but it does not last long. I get about 2 hours out of it before I have to touch up. After on touch up, it lasts the rest of the day(weird). Anyway, it covers ok, blends well, and sets ok. The price is awesome and it comes in more colors than the matte finish, which is good for darker skin tones. Also is suitable for sensitive skin, but I think this is more for normal to dry skin. Overall, I think that if you have normal to dry skin this would be good for you, but combination/oily skin I would suggest that your try the matte finish one.

A very great foundation! The coverage is light to medium, which is exactly what I like. I'm in the minority, but I prefer light coverage to heavy coverage. Too much foundation doesn't really complement my face, I guess. I look older and cakey when I use thick, heavy foundations. But with this Rimmel one, everything is great. It comes with a spatula application that is so convenient, it gives my face a dewy (but not too oily) look, and it brightens my complexion. It doesn't cover everything, though, which is fine for me, since I like some of my natural skin to show up, anyways. However, I know that could be a problem for girls who want more coverage, so I recommend to apply concealer afterwards. I just wear the foundation on its own without any concealer, because that's how I like it. Anyway, I do recommend this foundation. This is my second favorite foundation of all times (first one is the Garnier BB cream), and the price is so nice. For such a good product, it would cost more, so this is definitely a steal.

I bought this one sale for 6 dollars at target and happened to find the colour that matched my skin tone perfectly. It is 340 nude. I've tried looking for this shade many other times after finishing the product but can never seem to find it so it seems like "rare" shade..
Onto the actual product though, I LOVE it. I'm not much of a drugstore foundation kind of person. I do prefer using MAC over drugstore because MOST of them seem to be a miss with me. This is definitely a hit. It's good to use everyday if you don't want to use up your high end foundations. I find that it has light to medium coverage, covers redness perfectly, lasts around 6 hours and is very light on the skin (which is why I would recommend it for everyday use). It's a thick formula, so it's very moisturizing for my skin and doesn't feel oily on my skin at all. I went through 2 containers of this product and just bought the same product in the "Matte" version. Can't wait to try it out!!

I really love this foundation. I put it on and it instantly covered my redness with just one layer. It's very light weight and drys fast. The only downfall to this foundation is that after a few hours it will turn ORANGE! I'm so sad because it's such a good foundation! Rimmel needs a bigger color selection!!! Ahhhhh

I was looking for a lighter coverage foundation for everyday use and my friend recommended this product to me. I do have acne prone skin, and this product hasn't caused any breakouts. I like to set it with my Rimmel stay matt powder, especially in my t-zone were I tend to get oily. This product seems to oxidize more the more I put on, so I would not recommend building it up for better coverage. For the times I have a bad breakout I always fall back to my beloved revlon colorstay foundation. I used to use the colorstay foundation everyday, but now that my skin is clearing up I was on the hunt for a good lighter feeling foundation that evens my skin tone and hides some discoloration, which this does.

If you haven't seen the trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening, you can watch it over at Apple. Although I think this strip stands on its own just fine, it will explain what Melissa's prank is referring to from that film. The movie is absolutely terrible, by the way: zero suspense, poor exploration of an iffy premise… Everything good about this film has been done far, far better elsewhere.

Leonard Nimoy (1931–2015)
Sunday, March 1, 2015
I was never a huge Star Trek fan, exactly. I love some of the early episodes, and I think Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is one of the greatest
science fiction movies of all time. I enjoyed Star Trek III and IV, too, for what they were. I read a bunch of the DC Comics Star Trek stuff at that time, because my brother bought them. And I watched a bit of the Next Generation and then fell off the wagon. Kirk and Spock were my Star Trek, and the Star Trek 2–4 "era" was its peak for me, warts and all, because that's the "era" that really hooked me. And really, for me, it was all about Wrath of Khan.
In addition to playing Mr. Spock, of course, Leonard Nimoy did a lot of other things. He was on Mission: Impossible. He directed a few movies (Three Men and a Baby!). He was a photographer. He was the voice of Civilization IV. But one thing I really loved of his was Standby: Lights, Camera, Action, on Nickelodeon from 1982–1987, which provided a behind the scenes look at movies like Star Trek III, Return of the Jedi, 2010, and more. Nimoy hosted and occasionally interviewed guests like George Lucas. As a budding film nerd in the pre-Internet Dark Ages, behind the scenes specials like Standby: Lights, Camera, Action were hard to come by. I ate that show up.
Anyway, as you're undoubtedly aware by now, Leonard Nimoy passed away on the 27th. As cartoonists do when they're sad about these kinds of things, I drew a picture:

|Samuel Lyons (uncle)
Sir Saul Samuel, 1st Baronet, KCMG, CB (2 November 1820 – 29 August 1900) was an Australian colonial merchant, member of parliament, pastoralist, and prominent Jew. Samuel achieved many breakthroughs for Jews in the colonial community of New South Wales including the first Jew to become a magistrate, the first Jew elected to parliaments, the first Jew to become a minister of the Crown.[1]
Early years and background[edit]
Samuel was born in London, England on 2 November 1820, the posthumous son of Sampson Samuel and his wife Lydia, née Lyons. Samuel arrived in Australia on 25 August 1832 aboard The Brothers with his mother to meet with Samuel's brother, Lewis, and their uncle, Samuel Lyons, was had arrived in colonial New South Wales a few years earlier. Educated at schools run by W. T Cape, Samuel was initially employed at his uncles' accounting house, before he and his brother formed their own mercantile firm.
After purchasing 190,000 acres (77,000 ha) of land at Bathurst, he abandoned pastoral interests following the 1851 gold rush and business interests became his main focus.
He married Henrietta Matilda Goldsmith-Levien on 16 December 1857 and had 2 daughters and 2 sons. He married Sarah Louisa Isaacs on 31 October 1877 (in Auckland, New Zealand) [2]and had 1 son.
Political career[edit]
In 1854, Samuel became an elective Member of the first Legislative Council of New South Wales, representing the Counties of Roxburgh and Wellington between 1854 and 1856.[3] Elected to the first responsible government, Samuel became a member of the Legislative Assembly representing the Counties of Roxburgh and Wellington from 1854 until 1856. Re-elected to the Assembly in June 1859 and then again in November 1859, Samuel served as member for Orange until 1860. Samuel became member for Wellington in 1862, serving until 1869, and then again as member for Orange, serving between 1869 until 1872, before briefly serving as member for East Sydney during 1872. In 1872, Samuel was appointed a Life Member of Legislative Council, where he sat until he retirement from parliamentary life in 1880.
Treasurer and Postmaster General[edit]
Samuel served as Colonial Treasurer three times during his parliamentary career including in the Forster ministry between 1859 and 1860, the fourth Cowper ministry between 1865 and 1866, and the second Robertson ministry between 1868 and 1870. Samuel resigned as Treasurer in the Cowper ministry after his budget proposals for trade licences and increased duties on tea and sugar had been defeated.[1] In 1870, at the Intercolonial Conference in Melbourne, Samuel proposed intercolonial free trade to settle the border customs dispute. He hoped to abolish ad valorem duties but his plans for a tax on incomes of over £200 were bitterly contested and led to the downfall of the government in December 1870.[1]
Between 1872 and 1880, Samuel served as Postmaster-General on three occasions under Premier, Henry Parkes, including the first (1872–1875), second (1877), and third (1878–1883) ministries. During this period, Samuel established the General Post Office and negotiated a subsidized mail service from England to Australia via USA.
Career after politics[edit]
After politics, Samuel pursued his business interests including Chairman of Australian Mutual Provident Society and of Pacific Fire and Marine Insurance Company. Between 1880 and 1897, Samuel was the sixth Agent-General for New South Wales in London and was a director of Mercantile Bank of Sydney.[3] An energetic, shrewd and efficient representative, he helped negotiate government loans and by 1885 claimed that he had raised £30 million. He fostered assisted immigration, negotiated with the Peninsular and Oriental and the Orient shipping companies for weekly mail services to the colony and in 1885 about the New South Wales contingent to the Sudan. He was a commissioner for New South Wales at the 1883 Amsterdam Exhibition and represented the colony at the 1887 Colonial Conference in London. In 1891 he also represented Queensland at the Postal Convention in Vienna.[1]
He was active in Jewish affairs including a member of the Board of Management of York Street Synagogue and on 26 January 1875 he laid the foundation stone for the Great Synagogue in Elizabeth Street, Sydney, and was later its president.[1]
Samuel was appointed a Companion in the Order of St Michael and St George (CMG) in 1874, and a Knight Commander in 1882. He became a Companion in the Order of the Bath in 1886 and was created baronet in 1886.[1]

Talks between Democrats and Republicans on the Fiscal Cliff
issue took a negative turn, dragging the benchmarks into the red.
Benchmarks posted their first weekly losses after rallying for
two consecutive days. Housing starts declined in November,
whereas building permits hit its highest level in more than four
years. All ten of the S&P 500 industry groups ended in the
red and the health care sector emerged as the biggest loser.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) lost 0.7% to close the
day at 13,251.97. The Standard & Poor 500 (S&P 500)
dropped 0.8% to finish yesterday's trading session at 1,435.81.
The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index slipped 0.3% to end at
3,044.36. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) surged 11.5%
to settle at 17.36. Consolidated volumes on the New York Stock
Exchange, American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq were roughly 6.9
billion shares, higher than the daily average of 6.4 billion
shares. The number of decliners and advancers were the same on
the NYSE.
Benchmarks ended their two-day advance as investors remained
apprehensive about the Fiscal Cliff issue. The S&P 500 had
rallied over 2% in the last two days and touched its highest
level in two months. In recent days, investors focus is centered
around the Fiscal Cliff issue. Thus, any development on this
front decides the movement of the markets.
House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner had earlier
proposed "Plan B", which stated that people earning above $1
million will have to pay higher tax rates. However, President
Barack Obama disapproves of this plan. As for the recent
development, speaking at a press conference, Boehner said:
"Tomorrow, the House will pass legislation to make permanent tax
relief for nearly every American-99.81 percent of the American
people…Then the president will have a decision to make: He can
call on Senate Democrats to pass that bill or he can be
responsible for the largest tax increase in American
However, if Congress passes the Republican "Plan B" then Obama
plans to veto the legislation. White House Communications
Director Dan Pfeiffer said: "This approach does not meet the test
of balance, and the President would veto the legislation in the
unlikely event of its passage." However, President Obama said he
is hopeful that a deal will be reached before Christmas. Obama
also said he and Boehner will have to reduce a gap of "a few
hundred billion dollars" to solve the Fiscal Cliff issue.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of

Nothing like the virtue of unbiased journalism!
Here is video of CNN's Carol Costello arguing with Charleston County, South Carolina Sheriff Al Cannon, who has said he will not enforce any new gun laws that he deems "unconstitutional."
Costello really did not sound like a journalist trying to listen to the viewpoint of this Sheriff, and sounded much more like an apologist for Diane Feinstein's anti-gun legislation.
CNN's Carol Costello becomes Apologist for Gun Control with South Carolina Sheriff Who Says He Won't Enforce "Unconstitutional" Anti-Gun Laws – Video 1/25/13
Here is a video report from WISTV in South Carolina about a public high school teacher in Chapin, South Carolina, who reportedly stomped on the American Flag during classes in front of students. The teacher has reportedly been replaced for the rest of the school year as an investigation of exactly what happened continues.
SC High School Teacher Reportedly Stomps on American Flag During Class – Video Report 1/8/13
Above is video of Henry McMaster in 2010 endorsing Nikki Haley for Governor after losing to her in the GOP Primary. NOTE: McMaster has a REALLY strong Southern accent!
That would be a surprise. I think many of us believed she would appoint GOP Rep. Tim Scott to fill DeMint's seat:
BIG GOVERNMENT: Former South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster has emerged as one of the leading candidates to replace outgoing Republican South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint, who is leaving the Senate to head the Heritage Foundation next month.
According to the Pajamas Media, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who, by law, must appoint DeMint's successor, has "reportedly already informed key South Carolina politicians of her decision" to appoint McMaster.
Haley on Friday said she would not appoint herself to the seat but would make an appointment "quickly." A special election for a full six-year term will be held in 2014, and McMaster may be appointed as a placeholder, which would mean many of the state's top young conservatives would enter the primary to win DeMint's Senate seat in 2014. . . .

Customer Reviews
Does exactly what it says it will
This app is beautifully designed.
It is not my favorite work out app - since it is literally only sit-ups, no other types of ab workouts.
However, that's all it claims to be, so I'm giving it 5 stars. There is a vocal coach that tells you when to rest and how many you should be doing. You can decide if the voice is male or female. The app encourages you with badges, and starts its expectations out small while growing progressively.
No Apple Health integration
This app, and the others like it from the same publisher, is visually very appealing. However, despite the articles talking about it from various outlets, there is no Apple Health integration. They also lack workout personalization as is common with similar apps, where you test yourself before beginning and then start at the correct level based on what you can already do. The linking of the different workout apps is nice, but could be smoother, especially since they're often sold as a bundle.
Simple easy to use
I didn't use to like exercise. I became very over weight. This app and the others like it have helped me to gradually get into and increase my exercise level. I did not do the exercises every other day, I did them every day. In a month and a half I have lost 15 pounds and several inches. By eating right and exercising. If a lazy bum like me can do it any one can.

Whats the big deal with being self found.
What's the point of having an RMAH?
Congrats, you spent 0 hours getting the BiS gear. I don't see what you have accomplished.
It's like I am not even trying to enjoy playing the game but enjoy spending my money shopping.
You just did it :/
I don't think being self-found was a big difficulty, I started playing the game long after the big inferno nerf. I do feel like a lot of people whining about not finding drops got their game experience tainted by excessive AH usage. Playing avoiding to buy stuff from the AH has been very fun. If some people, other than me, need a self-found league /mode to be motivated to play the game without AH, then I have no problem with it. Although I'd likely stick to my current wiz and the "normal" mode.
Congrats you took another extra 100+ hours just to get your own gear. I don't see what you accomplished.
The AH warriors like yourself just want to have the best gear. Which is fine. If that's what you like, go ahead.
People that prefer to be self-found want to do the grind themselves. It's what we liked of diablo. The action , watching monsters explode and playing item lottery. Gambling is a fun, addicting activity to us. Just like flipping was for you.

Who would play skyrim without fast travel lmao!?
There shouldn't be any sort of trading. Dropping items on floor should be allowed though (maybe you need the ground for a bit of space while you salvage something else) just make the items invisible to other players.

They were talking about having your character being marked as "self found" if you only equip what you found. You can still play with "not self found" characters though. This seems like the best way to go. No need to segregate the playerbase or make things complicated...
Posts: 1,003View profile
I, and probably a lot of people, already played the game self-found up to the end of inferno. Once there didn't seem to be anything left to do in the game, I started to look into the AH, to try and keep up my interest in this game.
AH mode is something you escape to once self-found becomes unplayable. I don't know how going back to self-found can ever be interesting, unless it has a separate mode with single-player oriented drop rates.
I sold things i found on the AH, used that gold to upgrade..
No, just different.
Imo Wyatt is on the right track here. No extra mode or ladder that further divides the community is needed, just a big, shiny recognition for the status in the profile, as incentive to keep it that way. As long as there are no big loopholes, like picking up stuff that others drop, I don't care that much how you handle (no) crafting, the separation of gold etc pp. Just make it easy for yourselves, so you can get it done.
I should mention, that I'm a fan of options and don't mind a complicated UI, especially if it doesn't concern the actual gameplay, but just the game options. And I don't have to code that stuff^^. So it's probably harder than it seems to me.
Self-found Iron-man style: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/6412492777
I play self-found and have never bought anything from either AH nor trade for items. I also play solo. Okay, I do pass items I find to other heroes except for my hardcore heroes.
To me there is always an easy way and a hard way to play a game or go through life. I guess I like the hard, less traveled path; I feel I've actually earned the items I've found.
Sure, buy your way to the top....you only take away from the challenge of the game that way.
+1 to OP.
@Moridin: you understand the desire to be recognized for things, yet you ask me why I need recognition? A golden star would ofc just be a different kind of ep$&n for loosers on the internet like me :P
Posts: 421View profile
I don't buy equipment from the AH and have nothing to do with the RMAH, but I see no need for recognition of this.
I see no reason for Blizzard to waste time on providing recognition to people for play style choices. I want content, not stroking of egos.
BUT if it would end the cry to further segregate the player base, fine--spend a few days making a nice display everyone who plays self-found can use to proudly state their choice in how to play a game.
The concern I have and have always had is that the existence of the AH/RMAH and how that has shaped (negatively) the game overall. It was a bad idea from minute one, and we're pretty much stuck with it.
You don't like the AH--don't use it.

Dessert Rose Root Cracked
Hello! I have a dessert rose is about 7 years old I purchased it when it was just a seedling, I trimmed it and repotted it 2 weeks ago, when I took it out of the pot one big root was cracked IâÂÂm not sure if I cracked it taking it out or if it was this way (I did have to pull a bit to take it out of the old pot) I have repotted every other year but I never had the roots grow as much as this last repotting. I placed the plant in its new pot and new soil and left the cracked root in the open I did not watered for 8 days to let it dry, it feels ruff and dry at this point I watered it yesterday. Is the plant going to be ok? Is there something else I should be doing? Why this happened? I have been caring for this plant for so long it has never bloomed; just in the past two years it started to take off I hope it will be ok. Thanks for all your help.
It's possible that if it was in its old pot really tightly, as you suggest, that it cracked when it 'was set free' so to speak, and was able to expand. That's the only thing I can think of. It seems to me that if it's dry, it should be ok. You could always dust in there with some fungicide on a small paintbrush. I've done that before just to be on the safe side.
Thank you nearpass, it looks happy and is growing I put cinnamon all over it; I will go tonight and get fungicide and apply it. I agree with you, when I took it out I did not expect to have such big roots since in the past it did not show much of a root grow. IâÂÂm glad it looks good I will keep an aye on it. Thanks again
Hello and welcome to the forum! That's a good looking plant you have there despite the crack! When you water, be careful not to get any into the split, maybe try to water around the edge of the pot away from it to try and minimise any getting inside. Once it really toughens up on the open surface, it should be fine...just be careful for a while though : )

Ariana, sorry I hope you didn't think I was being patronising, It should have been plainly obvious to me you would be careful not to get water into it!! It must be happy to have put on so much root growth and it can often be a total surprise what's been going on underground. You have some good sprouts pushing out ready to make lots of new branches, so it will soon look very different. Keep us posted on it's progress please? Is it your only DR?

You could name it Harry Potter with that lightning-shaped scar. Sorry, couldn't resist. ;)
Thank you Laura!
It was just that I belong to another forum (not a Gweb one BTW) that can be a bit prickly at times. Posts can be easily taken out of context and trouble can kick off at the slightest thing. I'm no fan of that at all and try to avoid confrontation at all costs, hence my follow up post. We do seem to all get along well on here which is great for all concerned, nothing is worse than ill feeling, even between folks that do not know each other personally. :)
Dragonstone...Harry Potter, yes! There is actually a hybrid called that, have seen it for sale on the internet...

dragonstone that is funny! I never watched harry potter I had to Google it and yes it does look like it.
Gill, I'm new to the forum but I have come to this web page for advice for so many years regarding my plants. I really like the help I receive; everyone is so friendly and helpful. I'm sorry if my message gave the wrong impression. The plant is doing good, it feels very dry and it is growing new branches. I will post a follow up.
Thanks to all again for welcoming me into the forum. Ariana
Ariana, no worries, nothing was wrong with your post. When I re-read MY post I just seemed to have stated the obvious to you, so I apologised and hoped you wasn't offended!! Oh dear, what a muddle we have got ourselves in eh? lol!! Think we had better end this else we will both be apologising to each other ad infinitum!!!
Take care, I'm glad you enjoy the forum and I see you have yet another DR...keep them coming!
