Podcast Round-up 2015
I suddenly realised that it has been a number of years since I last wrote something about my favourite podcasts. Unlike previous years where I've given a complete assessment of all the different podcasts I listen to, I'll limit myself to two relatively recent discoveries:
Novara FM started out as a regular radio show on London's Resonance FM. Usually an hour long, the show basically involves a bunch of radical leftists discussing the issues of the day. Usually hosted by Aaron Bastani and James Butler, the show somehow manages to find the sweet spot between Marxism 101 and the deluge of jargon that academic leftism can so often become. A lot of Novara's charm is down to the communication skills of its two primary presenters: Bastani is confrontational, intuitive and loves boiling complex issues down to amusingly polemical soundbites while Butler is more expansive, careful and alive to nuance. I have often found myself in the position of having encountered an idea and reached a conclusion only to completely reverse my position based on the analyses presented on this podcast. Particular favourites include:
- Worker Struggle in Asia and the Future of Capitalism
- Gentrification, Displacement, Community
- What is Neoliberalism?
You Must Remember This is the brainchild of one-time LA Weekly film critic Karina Longworth. The best way of describing this series would be to think of it as a storytelling podcast similar to Sarah Koenig's Serial except that it deals with the scurrilous history of Hollywood. Closer to Peter Biskind's Easy Riders, Raging Bulls than Kenneth Anger's Hollywood Babylon, the show explores the private lives of 20th Century Hollywood with an eye to how those lives intersected with the industry. The current series is taking a long hard look at Charles Manson, his Family, his crimes and how 1960s Hollywood allowed a murderous cult leader to get so close to them. While the current series was clearly inspired by Jeff Guin's brilliant biography Manson, Longworth approaches her subject with a feminist slant that really sheds new light on old Hollywood legend. As brilliant as Charlie Manson's Hollywood may be, it is also worth checking out earlier episodes including:
- The one on Walt Disney
- The One, Two part episode about Mia Farrow
- The one about why John Wayne didn't join up during World War II
REVIEW — Stalag 17 (1953)
FilmJuice have my review of Billy Wilder's misleading P.O.W. comedy Stalag 17. I say "misleading" as while the film was initially marketed as a tribute to America's brave prisoners of war, the film's depiction of life in a World War II prison camp is actually far from flattering.
Originally a hugely-successful Broadway play, Stalag 17 revolves around a group of American POWs who are trying to escape the camp. Using all of their initiative and sneakiness, the men dig tunnels, fashion civilian clothes and scout for weaknesses in German security only to wind up delivering their escapees into the waiting arms of German machine-gun fire. Shocked but reticent to engage in any form of concerted self-criticism, the group's frustrations wind up being unleashed on William Holden's Sefton, a cynical individualist who would rather profit from the group's desires than aid in their fulfilment. What makes this film "misleading" is the fact that, rather than conforming to genre expectations and producing a film all about a bunch of POWs coming together to outwit the Germans, Wilder has produced a film that portrays American POWs as boorish, overbearing idiots. In fact, Sefton's rugged individualist is quite obviously intended to be the film's point-of-view character:
Stalag 17 is not exactly the easiest film to get into. In fact, the film is almost completely unwatchable for most of its opening hour. The problem is that the film ostensibly plays lip service to the idea of the Good War by presenting many of the POWs as happy-go-lucky scamps. Stalag 17 is often described as an iconic film as it was one of the first films about the Second World War to present the Germans as figures of fun rather than menace. Just as this vision of the Nazis as effeminate, strutting nincompoops would later inform British comedies like 'Allo 'Allo, the idea that prisoners of war could pull off elaborate schemes under the noses of their German captors would later inspire 168 episodes of the American sitcom Hogan's Heroes. What makes the film very nearly unwatchable is the fact that virtually all of its jokes are embarrassingly unfunny: First we have the incessant torrent of anti-German comments that are really little more than crude xenophobic sniping dressed up as banter. Then we have about a dozen different jokes involving an over-weight man falling over and finally we have a scene in which hundreds of well-fed American POWs scream and gesture lewdly at a bunch of terrified female prisoners. This type of humour might well have passed muster amidst the jingoism and sexism of 1950s America but it actually makes the POWs come across as a bunch of boorish idiots… and therein lays the point.
My review places Stalag 17 in the broader context of Wilder's career and his tendency to view American society in very cynical terms but it also occurs to me that films like Stalag 17 could very well mark the point at which war-time solidarity left the American cultural bloodstream, taking any and all faith in collective action with it. Sefton's rugged individualism provides the film with its moral centre precisely because America was entering an age where it became the individual's moral duty to look to their own advancement whilst questioning any and all conceptions of the public good that were not grounded in material largesse.
Last Night by James Salter: "Platinum"
Now this is a bit more fucking like it! "Give" and "Such Fun" have their moments but both stories rely rather too heavily on grand reveals to do their work. The grand reveal that forces one to re-evaluate the entire story is a very heavy-handed technique and I think that Salter's stories work better when his touch is lighter and readers are left to come to their own conclusions. I don't know whether I am getting better at deciphering Salter but "Platinum" felt completely transparent to me… I read it once and then read it again but I was never left scratching my head in the way I did with those earlier stories. Despite being quite accessible, "Platinum" contains some of my favourite writing in the collection to date.
The story opens with a description of a magnificent apartment overlooking Central Park. The apartment was bought for a small fortune a number of years ago and now it is almost the almost priceless home of a true patriarch, a man who has made a fortune helping the poor and the innocent only to them spend that money making life better for the people around him:
He was a figure of decency and honor, like the old men described by Cicero who planted orchards they would not live to see fruit from, but did it out of a sense of responsibility and respect for the gods, he had a desire to bequeath the best of what was known to his descendants.
This pillar of the community is married to a woman who is intelligent, has no interest in cooking but for whom grace, generosity and good manners are as natural as breathing. When she first met the patriarch Brule's children she seduced them with a promise of unquestioning love and loyalty:
— Look, she had said to his daughters when she and Brule were married, I'm not your mother and I never can be, but I hope that we'll be friends. If we are, good, and if not, you can count on me for anything.
Reading this, I am reminded of how consistently brilliant Salter is with this type of emotional engineering. These are good people, they do good things and you cannot help but fall in love with them and their little eccentricities; Brule's insistence upon walking to work, Pascale's refusal to cook on the grounds that she cannot talk at the same time. This is a family you desperately want to belong to… how could you not? And if that line about being able to count on Pascale for anything weren't enough, check this out:
You belonged to the family, not as someone who happened to be married to a daughter, but entirely. You were one of them, one for all and all for one. The oldest daughter, Grace, had told her husband,
— You have to really get used to the plural of things now.
"The plural of things"… The remedy to fear, isolation and existential loneliness condensed down to four words and delivered with all the lethal accuracy of a shot to the head. This is not a family that demands loyalty or makes you work for its trust… it simply takes your 'I' and turns it into 'We'.
The Organization Geek
I sometimes think that my generation got the wrong end of the stick when it came to the question of conformity. My first encounter with conformity as a theoretical concept came in my early teens when some pre-cursor to GCSE psychology mentioned Solomon Asch's conformity experiments in which a subject was confronted with a room full of people giving the wrong answer to a simple perception test. Supposedly overwhelmed by peer pressure, over a third of Asch's subjects chose to follow the group and give the wrong answer.
I say "supposedly" as while a lot has since been written about Asch's experiments, most of it has been reductive, simplistic and wrong. The problem lies not in the work itself but rather in the tendency to package it up with Stanley Milgram's experiments on obedience and Philip Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment as part of a broad cultural narrative about the hazards of conformity.
By the time I was first encountering experimental psychology in the early 1990s, conformity was being presented as a Bad, Bad Thing that caused you to speak untruths, torture people to death and generally behave like a German prison camp guard. Indeed, a lot of the research into obedience and conformity that took place in the middle decades of the 20th Century is best understood as trying to understand the rise of Nazi Germany and thereby prevent it from ever happening again. The work of Asch, Milgram and Zimbardo may have been lousy and misunderstood science but it was great propaganda as it sold us a vision of humanity as a species wired for obedience and moral cowardice.
People have been making spy film parodies for almost as long as they have been making spy films. As early as 1951, Paramount cast Bob Hope in My Favourite Spy as both a sophisticated international spy and the bumbling stand-up comedian who happened to resemble him. Right from the start, this cinematic formula proved so incredibly successful that it began to have an influence on the source material and so many conventional spy films and TV series of the 1960s went out of their way to incorporate the kinds of sight gags and deconstructive energies that had once been used to mock the genre from the outside. Indeed, the only tangible difference between The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Get Smart is that Don Adams seemed to realise that his character was a self-important fool while Robert Vaughn did not. By the 1980s, the conventional spy film was so far beyond parody that Roger Moore was allowed to turn James Bond into the straight middle-aged equivalent of high camp while films such as Spies Like Us and True Lies functioned as both conventional action films and satirical comedies without even a trace of tonal dissonance.
The public's growing inability to tell the difference between films about spies and films taking the piss out of spies also served to deprive espionage satires of their political edge. Despite realising that it was impossible to satirise a genre that had progressed beyond parody some twenty-five years previously, many filmmakers went down the path of producing broader and broader satires of a genre that no longer existed as anything other than a comic punching bag for hacks like Mike Myers or the Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer partnership that would eventually wind up creating such cinematic monstrosities as Scary Movie and Meet the Spartans.
Though it is hard to think of a more degraded cinematic genre, the spy movie parody has nonetheless managed to produce a number of truly classic and devastatingly pointed films: Often imitated but rarely understood, Yves Robert's The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe depicts the intelligence services as a bunch of self-important and unaccountable bureaucrats who spend all their time chasing their own tails in an effort to commandeer more power and funding from a political class that lacks the courage to recognise their pointlessness. Equally brutal is Michel Hazanavicius' OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies, which depicts the French secret service as a bunch of racist thugs who use the trappings of state power to legitimise a playboy lifestyle that takes them from one sun-drenched swimming pool to another as women and members of marginalised groups look on in anger and disgust. Though Paul Feig's Spy does not approach the savagery of either of these two films, it is an action/comedy that does action very well and a comedy with real satirical bite. Ostensibly a satire of Bourne-era spy films, Spy is best understood as an exploration of the Halo Effect and the idea that physically attractive people are anything other than a bunch of incompetent narcissists benefiting from society's libidinous good will.
Last Night by James Salter: "Give"
A story that gave me little joy and left behind it only impertinent questions: – When was this story written relative to the others in the book? Just as composers will often re-use musical phrases and directors can often be found re-using particular motifs, "Give" is a story that seems to draw on images and themes that are also present in the other stories. Is this story's lusty poet a dry run for that of "My Lord You" or did that image stick so firmly in Salter's mind that he could not help but return to it? – Does Salter work better at certain lengths than others? The more space he affords himself, the more elegantly he describes to space around his moods and characters. "Give" is nearly the shortest story in the collection and while it does manage to gain some traction, the emotions and images it shuffles around are more simplistic than they are in other stories. Much like "Such Fun", "Give" is a story with a distracting twist in the tale. I say "distracting" as the drama arising from the male narrator's affair with another man is most definitely not the point of the story. This is not a story about lost love or a marriage strained by infidelity, it is a story about a world woven from lies and enforced with all the passive-aggression that the middle-classes can muster.

Future Interrupted — The Allure of Ambiguity
Issue #259 of Interzone should now be blowing down your chimneys, rattling your windows and pressing ominously at your doors. After the issue arrives, subscribers will turn on their TVs and be met by images of flooded out streets, snow-bound primary schools and the perpetual promise of travel chaos and interminable commuting times. Arriving home from work (much later than usual) they will be met by tonally jarring images of people sweeping water from the ground floor of local shops while children build snowmen until it all turns to slush and misery. Of course, the papers will ask why our country is never prepared for the arrival of a new issue of Interzone and the government will make apologetic sounds and quietly cut funding to emergency services. Sandstone is weathered, concrete cracks, chalk cliffs collapse into the sea… Subscriptions are available from the TTA Press website while digital copies are available via Smashwords.
This issue contains six stories:
- "Silencer – Head Like a Hole Remix" by E. Catherine Tobler
- "The Deep of Winter" by Chris Butler
- "Rush Down, Roar Gently" by Sara Saab
- "After his Kind" by Richard W. Strachan
- "Edited" by Rich Larson
- "Midnight Funk Association" by Mack Leonard, winner of this year's James White Award
The James White Award is actually quite an interesting institution as it is awarded to non-professional writers, namely people who have not yet acquired the three professional sales required to qualify for SFWA membership. Given the on-going explosion in the number of venues paying SFWA rates and the difficulty in getting noticed even with three professional sales to your name, there is something really quite charming about the idea of an award that celebrates people who really are just starting out in their careers as writers. This interest in non-professional writers is partly a product of the history of British science fiction in that British magazines have seldom been able to compete with their larger American cousins and so many British SF writers came up through an amateur scene that has now been almost completely eclipsed by the globalisation of the field and the pressure to adopt SFWA qualification as the acid test for whether or not you can actually write. People who have been around longer than I would probably be able to tell you more about this quirk in the history of British SF but you'd be surprised by the number of prominent UK authors who published their first stories in what were effectively fanzines.
Speaking of quirks in the history of British SF, this issue includes an editorial by me that's a response to that state of the British genre union piece published by Strange Horizons last year. The piece talks a bit about local music scenes and the idea of cultivating local scenes as an antidote to the creation of a single globalised field dominated by American authors and imprints.
Obviously, this type of conversation requires us to tread carefully as focusing on some people is often a nice way of excluding others but I think it's relevant not only to the idea of different people and groups forming their own canons but also to stuff like the decision to bring all of Heinlein's books back into a print in a country that had been getting along just fine without him as a cultural touchstone. Given that the hard right of American genre fandom has long used Heinlein as a means of determining who is and who is not a 'real science fiction fan', I struggle to see the decision to bring Heinlein back into print as anything other than the imposition of an American canon on a British scene that had been in the process of developing its own histories and selections of canonical texts. The idea of British SF being a literary tradition in its own right is beautifully unpacked in Paul Kincaid's superb but difficult-to-find monograph A Very British Genre, which was written in 1995 and mentions Uncle Bob a grand total of twice.
Aside from my forays into cultural localism, this issue also contains my column reviewing Ian Sales' magnificent Apollo Quartet, an inspired and inspiring rant by Nina Allan about A Game of Thrones, habitually brilliant film columns by Nick Lowe and Tony Lee as well as Barbara Melville's engaging interview with Al Robertson and reviews by such luminaries as Stephen Theaker, Lawrence Osborn, Ian Hunter, Paul F. Cockburn, Maureen Kincaid Speller, Jack Deighton, Ian Sales, Andy Hedgecock and Elaine Gallagher who looks at the VanderMeers' Sisters of the Revolution.

The San Antonio Spurs have taught Oklahoma City a lesson in championship poise with a 101-98 win that stretched their remarkable win streak to 19 games and earned them a 1-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals.
The experienced Spurs, who have won four NBA championships under coach Gregg Popovich, trailed by nine after three quarters but kept their cool and sprinted to the finish to win the opening game of the best-of-seven series.
Manu Ginobili scored a team-high 26 points off the bench, and Tony Parker added 18 as San Antonio outscored the visiting Thunder 39-27 in the fourth to pass a rare post-season test.
"They had us on our heels and we were not aggressive," Ginobili told reporters of the game's first three quarters. We needed an edge. In the (fourth quarter), we had it."
The red-hot Spurs remain perfect in the post-season with nine victories and have now tied the 2001 Los Angeles Lakers for longest win streak between the regular season and playoffs.
Kevin Durant netted 27 points and 10 rebounds for Oklahoma City, who defeated the past two NBA champions in their previous rounds and were in good shape to move ahead of San Antonio before getting blitzed in the fourth.
Three-time defending scoring champion Durant managed no field goals in the last 16-plus minutes of the game.
"They forced me out a little bit and they do a good job on help defense," Durant said. "I did things I wanted to do tonight, I just have to do better next time."
San Antonio opened the final period with a 15-3 run to seize a lead they would never relinquish.
The home team built a 10-point advantage with two minutes remaining, and James Harden trimmed the final scored with a trio of three-pointers in the last couple minutes.
Harden finished with 19, and Russell Westbrook had 17 but only made 7 of 21 shots.
Duncan chipped in 16 and 11 rebounds for the Spurs, who also got a boost from reserve Stephen Jackson's late defense against Durant.
"It's a long series and you have to continue to play," said Oklahoma City guard Derek Fisher, who had 13 points.
"They showed mental toughness tonight in being able to battle back, and now it's our turn."

Author Bio
Stan and Jan Berenstain introduced the first Berenstain Bear books in 1962. Mike Berenstain grew up watching his parents work together to write about and draw these lovable bears. Eventually he started drawing and writing about them too.

Dee5 Stars Out Of 5Good Book Anytime of the year!January 16, 2015DeeQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This Berenstain Bears book was given for Christmas our grandchildren, aged 3, 4, and 8, knowing there were lists of things they wanted and this little book gives them the message that they can give, as well as receive. Good lessons from all the Berenstain Bears books, as usual.
ChildofGod5 Stars Out Of 5Great StoryJanuary 7, 2015ChildofGodQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Wonderful book, gave it to a very loving and giving sweet child who loves to give gifts and see other's happiness.
The Bear's are always teaching great valuable lessons to children and adults alike.
S.B,5 Stars Out Of 5love this!January 5, 2015S.B,What a great book to read to emphasize that giving is more important than getting! Our 4 year old daughter was showing signs of the gimmies this holiday season. It's hard not to, when everywhere we go people are asking, "What do you want for Christmas?" This book gently shows how Sister and Brother Bear learn this important lesson; "It is more blessed to give than to receive." So glad the Berenstains have moved towards including biblical lessons in their books. Jus one more reason to love their books.

– As noted before, WWE recently asked fans for feedback on 17 potential shows for the new Network. Most people within WWE don't feel that the majority of those potential shows will ever come to TV.
Regarding the reality shows for the new WWE Network, the idea is to do website tie-ins and promote where the talents or cast members will be at so when they go places, they will be surrounded by fans with the idea being to make them look like legit stars.

Comments about 'Brandon Davies, Jazz guard Scott Machado among most intriguing players to watch in NBA training camp'

Davies will win the rookie of the year, for sure.

It's sort of ironic that Machado was the star guard on the Iona College team that BYU came back from way down to beat in the 2012 NCAA tournament, after Davies had been suspended for the season.

Oops, got that wrong. Davies was suspended in 2011, not 2012, and he played against Iona/Machado.

Better and more athletic BYU bigs (Plaisted, Araujo) went into their first
seasons with actual guaranteed contracts and still didn't pan out.
I'll pull for him but Davies has neither their athleticism nor the guaranteed contract.

Plaisted was athletic, but was also a one-trick pony on offense. Seriously, he
had one move - tke a pass on the left block or the middle of the key, take a
dribble or two, and then toss up a jump hook. And Araujo? The guy was a bull. He
had no finnesse whatsoever.
Brandon will need to build his body and be smart enough to deal with quicker players if he's going to stick, but he already has a much more versatile game then either of the two you mention. I say he sticks for a good long career as a backup, making an occasional spot start. Not a bad living.

So, this is way OT, but the Mgoboard has become one of my most trusted sources of AA-related information. Anyways, I was just wondering if any of you have tubed/canoed the Huron River, and if so, if you knew any good sites for launch and landing? I'm looking to lead a tubing trip next weekend, but I don't know any sites. Much appreciated.

Fidelity Institutional, the division of Fidelity Investments® that provides clearing, custody and investment management products to registered investment advisors (RIAs), banks, broker-dealers and family offices, today announced the opening of the Office of the Future on its Smithfield, Rhode Island campus. In collaboration with the Fidelity Center for Applied Technology (FCAT), Fidelity Institutional developed the Office of the Future as a physical space as well as an online interactive experience for financial advisors to experiment with some of the latest technologies poised to transform the financial advice industry.
Fidelity's Office of the Future features frequently used work spaces for the "anywhere advisor," including conference and collaborative office spaces, an airport lounge and a home environment. While the specific form factors will change over time as new technology emerges, the space currently focuses on technology that addresses seven trends most impactful for advisors today: mobile, pervasive video, evolving interfaces, cloud computing, social media, big data and gamification. Advisors can visit to experiment with the technology or take a virtual tour of the space with interactive elements that display details on the Office's technologies.
Fidelity's new technology research from its Insights on Advice series found that while almost eight in 10 (77 percent) financial advisors surveyed are making an effort to increase their use of technology in their practices, nearly all (95 percent) see challenges in integrating or utilizing it. This disconnect is mostly attributed to: 1) lack of knowledge on what technology is best for them and 2) how to set it up and integrate it with their existing technology. Financial advisors continue to face mounting pressure to adopt technology and meet investor demand. In fact, one-third (34 percent) of investors surveyed said they would switch their advisors if they were not using technology to enhance their services.
"Investors today expect technology woven into everything they do, and that includes their financial advice," said Ed O'Brien, senior vice president and head of platform technology, Fidelity Institutional. "For advisors, using technology is not about abandoning what they do so well, which is providing financial advice. It's about finding that sweet spot that brings together human touch with technology. With Fidelity's Office of the Future, we can show advisors how to do that."
According to the survey, 75 percent of advisors felt that they needed to use the latest technology to grow assets among younger clients -- investors whose assets are forecasted to be $41 trillion by 20232 and who expect a different relationship than previous generations. Gen X/Y3 investors noted three core benefits of technology in their advisor relationships: communication, collaboration and accessibility.
1. Communication: Supplement Face-to-Face with Virtual Conversation
Financial advisors can use technology to their advantage to create the feel of an in-person meeting with more flexibility, particularly with younger investors who are comfortable with these mediums. The study found:
- Video conferencing is on the rise and many advisors are interested in pursuing it.
- While very few advisors use social media to communicate with their Boomer clients, many are using social media with their Gen X/Y clients.
- Advisors are leveraging text messaging to engage Gen X/Y investors.
2. Collaboration: Investors Want to Validate, Not Delegate
Sixty-three percent of advisors said that recent technology developments have helped make their relationships with clients more collaborative. This shift will be important as Gen X/Y investors embrace the "validator" model, looking to make some of their own investment decisions, while turning to their advisors for second opinions. According to the study:
- Financial advisors are using media tablets with Gen X/Y clients to view portfolios and reports, creating a more meaningful, interactive dialogue.
- Advisors are making it easier for investors to "visit their money" and participate in the decision-making process with their advisors.
3. Access and Engagement: Quality, Not Quantity
As mobile and cloud technology becomes more pervasive, the concept of the "anywhere advisor" has gone from a possibility to a reality. In order to meet the demands on their availability, advisors are embracing technology for a more mobile lifestyle. The study found:
- Not only are advisors using cloud-based applications, many are interested in using it to make their desktop accessible anywhere.
- By leveraging e-signature, advisors can spend less time on paperwork, freeing up time for deeper client engagements.
- Advisors are starting to see how webinars or webcasts can help them engage with clients and share their current insights.
To "walk" through the virtual tour of Fidelity's Office of the Future, go to http://go.fidelity.com/officeofthefuture and to visit the Office of the Future in-person, please contact your relationship manager.
About the 2013 Fidelity®
Insights on Advice studies
The 2013 Fidelity® Insights on Advice program consists of two individual research studies: Affluent Investor Insights and Advisor Insights. The 2013 Fidelity® Affluent Investor Insights study was an online, blind survey (Fidelity not identified) fielded during the period of May 16-29, 2013. Participants included 813 affluent investors meeting certain asset and/or income requirements with findings weighted to reflect the population. The 2013 Fidelity® Advisor Insights study (previously named Broker and Advisor Sentiment Index) was an online, blind survey fielded during the period of August 8–21, 2013. Participants included 813 advisors who work primarily with individual investors and manage a minimum of $10 million in individual or household investable assets. Advisor firm types included a mix of banks, broker-dealers, independent broker-dealers, insurance companies, regional broker-dealers, RIAs, and wirehouses, with findings weighted to reflect industry composition. Both studies were conducted by Bellomy Research, an independent firm not affiliated with Fidelity Investments.

SUSAN River horse trainer Guy McLean has beaten some of the world's best horse trainers to win the Colt Handling World Championships in Tennessee over the weekend.
He was one half of the Australian team which competed over three days at the Road to the Horse event.
The competition required the three teams, from Australia, America and Canada, to train young horses they had never met before to complete skills tests and obstacle courses.
Hundreds of fans congratulated Guy and his team mate Dan James on Facebook as he also celebrated his birthday during the competition.
The prize included $10,000 and custom-made Martin saddles.
Guy also bought the colt he worked on during the competition and has nicknamed it Aussie.
This year was the first time the event was held with teams of international competitors and the Australian team managed to beat famous American horse trainer Pat Parelli.
Guy's Fraser Coast-based family and friends gathered at the Susan River homestead to watch the event while his father Norm McLean flew to America to support his son. Guy was unavailable for comment yesterday but thanked his fans for their support on his Facebook page.
"It's a very big deal," Susan River homestead spokeswoman Angelia Willet said.

US appeals court 'could rule to lift California gay marriage ban'
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Cannot produce children??? There are loads of gay poarents!
It looks that way. Fingers crossed…:)
Not every straight married couple produces children and many straight married couples don't want to procreate either and some can't. Straight couples who marry after child bearing years can't procreate either. Its just a "religious" red herring to justify the ban on gays marrying, as if allowing us to would deter straights from marrying or procreating. It doesn't change marriage one bit, it just expands it.
So, that said, what about our own government lifting the ban on civil marriage? There is NO valid reason to maintain it, none!
Fingers and toes crossed. We've been waiting years for this. Here's hoping the judges rule in our favour!
Gay couples can produce children just as good as any straight couple that needs a small element of assisted conception. And why would that be a reason to deny anyone marriage anyway? Does California currently screen all straight couples to make sure they can and want to have children?
And who said marriage was solely for procreation? Oh, yes, the loony fundies *rolls eyes* But they also say that divorce shouldn't be allowed so why not ban that then?
I really hope that the judges rule in favour of common sense.
And, yes, Robert – sadly, in the UK it seems you don't even need to make up a silly reason to discriminate against gay people regarding access to civil marriage.
For an enlightened discussion and commentary on yesterday's court proceedings in California, see:
'Cannot produce children' sounds a lot like the 'should not produce children' arguments used against interracial marriages in the US in the not distant enough past.
Bans on same-sex marriage will eventually all prove unconstitutional, as will DADT, but the religious fundamentalists that have a stranglehold on America's national conversation will not go down without a few hundred more fights. They will eventually fail, but they will exact the most damage they can on the way down.
Iris, you're absolutely right about that! But I've no doubt the religious bigots would find another preposterous excuse to explain away why barren couples and those choosing not to procreate should be allowed to marry. They'll use that one man one woman mantra for starters which means absolutely nothing. In fact, I think they'd be hard pressed to come up with one logical reason other than that. Either way it would be risible at best.
I hate to keep going on about this but why hasn't Summerskill et al not mentioned any more since his reversal on marriage equality. There is NOTHING on StonewallUK's website either. All of us must keep up the pressure to make it a reality, no backing down. Hold their feet to the fire, 24/7, 365.
Robert, the reason I was told by one conservative religious person, to justify why it's good for infertile mixed-sex couples to marry, but not same-sex couples, was that God could always perform a miracle and enable an infertile person to produce a child after they were married.
Apparently God's miraculous powers are rather limited when it comes to same-sex couples! Rather more limited than many same-sex couples themselves.

The Space
We would like to welcome you to our beautiful island Santorini to experience the hospitality and the friendliness of the local people, and our old traditions which are known only on our island.
Our family owns 2 old houses in the old traditional area of Fira, which is the capital of Santorini. We have recently renovated them, and we did our best to ensure that they would keep their character and unique style: High ceiling roofs, thick stone-made walls, to keep the rooms cool during the summer and warm during the winter. As they didn't have access to wood as a building material, the old habitats of Santorini used to "carv" their houses and their furniture into stone hills or caves.
It's a perfect place for couples, families, elder people and everyone else who will appreciate one of the most beautiful and quiet area of the island, while being just a breath away from the main square and the magnificent caldera view.
Fira is a town built around the island's famous caldera, 200m. above the sea, which offers a panoramic view of the whole island, the volcano and the surroundings islands
Fira is located in the centre of the island, from here you can easily have access to all the other villages.
You will find here all local facilities:
restaurants, cafes and nightclubs,
museums, banks, pharmacies.
the cable car, which leads to the old port
Distances from Calderimi:
main square-150m
nearest beach- Exo Gialos 2,5 km
airport-6 km
athinios Port-13 km
bus station-200m
taxi station-200m
Calderimi studio is 45 sq.m., it has one bedroom with queen bed, one dining-living room with a large sofa which can be used as an extra bed, one fully equipped kitchen and one (website hidden) has also a private terrace with table and chairs, decorated with flowers and plants.
In the price is included the transfer from the port/airport.

Amazing traditional house only steps away from the centre of Fira in the real/less touristy part of Fira where real people live. It gave us a very good feel of the place. It was quite, on a small alley of the old Fira. We loved the place, very spacious, beautifully decorated, with ac and reliable wifi, cute courtyard. And of course Vivi was the best: she was very easy to communicate with, picked us up at the ferry terminal and drove us to the place, called a taxi for us on the way back. She was very pleasant and sweet and left a cake for us upon arrival. Wonderful place! Would stay again any time!
This is a beautiful apartment in a quiet but central area in Fra. The decor is lovely and the kitchen very well equipped. Viva was very kind and welcoming (including an early morning car rides to the port). Recommended!
Vivi met us at the airport and acquainted us with the island on our trip to the apartment. The apartment was clean and comfortable. She fixed us fabulous spinach pie. It was an easy place to stay and central to Thira.
Maison traditionnelle très proche du centre, avec les avantages et les inconvénients. Notamment pas mal de bruit, les scooters vrombissent tôt le matin ! Mais on est a quelques minutes de la caldeira et ses splendides paysages. Vivi a été accueillante et discrète.
Our stay at Vivi's house was everything we had hoped for. Vivi was very friendly and helpful with all our needs - she met us at the port, gave us lots of useful information and little treats to eat and drink, yet respected our privacy. The delightful accommodation reflected the local tradition and was exactly as described, including a very cool, spacious bedroom, well equipped kitchen ( including tea, coffee, fruit, etc), and sunny courtyard. The house was very near the centre - just a few minutes walk to the Caldera, bus station, etc. I would highly recommend this accommodation.
This is an adorable apartment, well situated close to the bus stop and the main drag but quiet at night. Even though the weather was quite hot the apartment stays nice and cool; we never needed to use the AC. Vivi was great meeting us at the port and driving us to the apartment and let us leave our luggage for 4 hrs after checkout on our last day as we had a later flight. And the cake she left us was very tasty!
Vivi came to pick us up at the port. Vivi is a very warm and friendly host.The traditional family house is very beautiful and equip with all necessities. The house is very spacious with a wonderful kitchen.The bus stop and restaurants are at the walking distance.Highly recommended for those looking for a peaceful relaxing holiday.
This host has 70 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews
About the Host, Vivi
We would be very happy to host you and make sure you have a great holiday on Santorini island! Please feel free to contact us in case you have any questions about the place or the island!

New York Jets Will Not Lose Any Sleep Without Chaz Schilens
If this offseason seems confusing for fans of the New York Jets, they should remember last summer. Trading for quarterback Tim Tebow of course created a distraction for the team. Another head scratching transaction was New York signing wide receiver Chaz Schilens. Schilens did have some appeal as one of the young speedy options for the Oakland Raiders.
New York tried to fill the void after losing Plaxico Burress. Santonio Holmes went down early in the season forcing Schilens to deal with extra attention from opposing defensive backs. Stephen Hill turned out to be somewhat unreliable during his rookie season, and the rest of their receiver group also struggled last year. It obviously was not simply just Schilens who failed to show up, but he also did not rise to the occasion himself.
He had 28 catches with two touchdowns. One positive for him is that he was able to help shed the perception that he is injury prone. Schilens played in 15 games during the 2012 season. Although he left a visit with the Tennessee Titans, there will be a place for him in the NFL. Tall receivers who can beat defensive backs using quickness are always in demand. The Jets have yet to sign a player at this position, but they can easily find an upgrade through the NFL Draft. As far as being a priority, this position could be addressed around the third or fourth round. He could help someone, but Schilens turned out to be a bad signing by former general manager Mike Tannenbaum.

Texas cop succumbs to injuries following crash
Adam Davis, 36, was responding to reports of a man displaying a gun in public when he rolled his squad
By PoliceOne Staff
BELL COUNTY, Texas — A Bell County Sheriff's Deputy died Wednesday morning from injuries sustained in a rollover accident earlier this month.
Adam Davis, 36, was responding to reports of a man displaying a gun in public when he crashed his cruiser, according to KWKT.
He suffered severe head injuries and was taken off a respirator 10 days after the accident.
"Adam enjoyed serving the public," said Sheriff Eddy Lange. "It wasn't about writing tickets or putting people in jail. That's not what he wanted to do. He wanted to serve his fellow citizens, and he did that very well. And he made the final sacrifice doing exactly that."
Davis had served with the Bell County Sheriff's Office for six years and had previously served with the Troy Police Department and Rogers Police Department, according to ODMP.
