Who I am
I joined the School of Museum Studies at the University of Leicester in 2002 and am currently Programme Director of PhD Research Students, and Lecturer in Museum Communication and Education. Previously I spent 10 years developing formal learning programmes at Horniman Museum and 12 years organising arts programmes for Further Education in London.
My PhD (2000), in Museum Studies, took an ethnographic approach to examine creative learning at Horniman where I worked at the time. My academic route to the doctorate came from: an MA in Women's Studies; MA in Modern Philosophy; Art Teachers Certificate with Art Therapy and a BA in Art and Design, as well as a 2year British Council/Mombusho travelling scholarship to Japan studying ceramics.
My recent publications include Learning at the Museum Frontiers: Identity, Race and Power (2009). The manuscript for Museums and Communities, Curators, Collections Collaboration, which I co-edited with Wayne Modest at the Tropen Museum Amsterdam, is now with the publishers, Berg, Oxford and scheduled for publication in February 2013. Museums and Communities has sixteen chapters from a range of international authors. Wayne and I have a preface introduction and I outline the theoretical field in an introductory chapter Collaborative Museums. My paper in this volume, 'Creolizing the Museum: Humour, Art and Young People', examines ways in which politically motivated artists work with humour to open the museum for audiences aged 15-24 years old. A concise list of recent publications and conference papers can be found at (http://www.le.ac.uk/ms/contactus/vivgolding.html).
There has long been a collaborative ethos to my research, which is intertwined with international museum practice. The ICOM-ICME (International Council of Museums - Museum Ethnographers Group) group elected me to the Board as Secretary (2010-2013) and Editor (2004-2007). In collaboration I remain intent on exploring the potential of the museum to challenge all forms of prejudice, particularly racism and sexism. To do this, at Horniman, I developed theoretically-grounded practice – 'feminist-hermeneutics' – by blending Black feminist thought with the philosophical hermeneutics of Hans Georg Gadamer (Gadamer 1981; Hill-Collins 1991; Lorde 1996). My current 'glocal' research is concerned with unravelling the extent to which 'universal' concepts such as human rights can be progressed in the museum at 'local' levels. I argue that ideas – of social justice, beauty, Truth for example – are attached to objects of world art housed in museums and embodied knowledge(s) can be provoked through engaging audiences in respectful dialogical exchange, creativity and multi-sensory ways of knowing. This involves paying serious attention to 'Other' ways of knowing, ordering and counting the senses for example. I am making a large claim that views the museum experience as a whole mind/body experience, which is affected by and can affect the individual and the social group. Ideally museum experiences can be transformative in the liminal spaces between the global and the local. In other words we can be touched and transformed, stereotype can be replaced with genuine intercultural understanding, but only to those who are open to future possibilities. This requires the museum to think about its social role, to work in more flexible ways, to listen actively, to create forum spaces – contact zones – for engagement (Silverman 2010; Clifford 1999).
I am co-investigator of the AHRC 'Translating Cultures' research network. In addition I am currently co-investigator on the AHRC 'Faith and Place' network and Principal Investigator on the Daiwa 'Museum Literacies' projects.
How my teaching / research relates to our 'translating cultures' research project
I have been teaching 'museum communication, interpretation and education' to Masters level students at the University of Leicester, School of Museum Studies, UK since 2002. My teaching arises out of my research interests, which have centred on museums, especially anthropology and art museums, since my first degree in art and design (ceramics and printed textiles). In traditional museums, curators have historically been speaking for 'Others', but indigenous groups around the world are increasingly demanding an active role in the displays and establishing new museum spaces. At these sites, material culture is exhibited – the museum poetics – and celebrated by means of catalogues, text panels and positioning in glass cases, or stored and hidden in the stores. My interest lies not only in examining past and present structures of power and control that underpins what is displayed, by whom and why – the museum politics that are always intertwined with the poetics – but also in exploring collaboratively ways in which a myriad of new voices and visibilities may be raised in the museum space and at a region I define as the frontiers, beyond the museum walls (Karp, Kreamer and Lavine 1991; Philip 1992).
Pedagogically I have long been influenced by Paolo Freire's emancipatory work and my lectures draw extensively on my theory-driven museum practice at Horniman, which employed a Freirean perspective (Freire 1996). My teaching sessions involve looking critically at exhibitions of material culture in museums around the world and working creatively from my own Handling Collection of World Art. Students are engaged in activities including: critically considering different 'guidelines' and then writing a museum text panel for a particular target audience; developing a resource such as a museum trail to progress literacy for Key Stage 3 children (aged 11-14years old) or a multisensory activity for elders. Overall finding ways of working creatively with affect and emotion in museum learning programmes, while examining and problematizing museum hi/stories are key areas of interest for the Masters course. Facilitating questioning approaches, asking what counts as 'knowledge' in museums, for whom, who speaks, who is silenced, who listens, and why, these questions are critical for citizenship in the contemporary museum and the wider world.
In our collaborative teaching I shared a number of ideas internationally. In Grenada I offered my collaboration with the Cloth of Gold arts organization The Midnight Robber carnival project work of older children (13-14 years old), which demonstrates the impact of pedagogy developed at the frontiers between Horniman Museum and Malory Secondary School in London. In Washington I worked with the notion of object biographies and students developed their own worked in small groups developing a 'narrative journey' for an object from my own and Victoria Arana's handling collections.
My particular research interest in the project
I relate to our 'translating cultures' research project through my research focus on museums, specifically the interpretation and representation of material culture and intangible heritage. I am interested in examining to what extent 'Creolizing the Museum' is possible around the globe, by which I mean building community and creating new ways of being and becoming, not simply observing and showing mixture, but creatively developing agency (Cohen and Toninato 2010).
Creolization, as I understand it, importantly derives from the forced transportation and dehumanization of people during the Transatlantic Slave trade. It seems necessary to look back, to take the terrible trade and enslavement as well as more recent forced migrations, as a starting point, yet not in ways that perpetuate the horror and prevent a movement to building a more positive future (Morrison 1984). From the museum perspective we need to acknowledge the trauma of loss to fully appreciate the ways survival prevented madness, how rupture led to the creation of something new – the rich perpetually changing mixtures – the cultures, music, and languages of our globalized world. Museums need to reflect on the imaginative affect of roots to which we cannot return, as well as the perpetual routes along which we travel under duress or joyfully, remembering the fear 'travelling theory' holds for some (hooks 1992).
I am interested in the nuanced challenge creolization presents to essentialism and binary thought, rejecting notions of purity and authenticity. Glissant's concept of Relation, when people abandon notions of pure origins and become open to the creative possibilities of cultural contact, seems useful to the museum context. It disrupts notions of wholly dominant centre and totally weak periphery, powerfully pointing to interaction, the movement and migrations of peoples as mutually transformative. I envisage it offering a fresh space to articulate personal and collective identities, to forge connections and build community. Specifically I see creolization as a useful tool to developing language skills and literacy, to progressing critical thinking and citizenship.
While museums have traditionally served as treasure houses, sanctuaries and shrines of what and who is valued and disparaged, I argue for their creative potential as forum spaces for exchange and understanding. I hope this project may illuminate what museums can become.
Extract for reading
The extract I recommended that will indicate how my works resonates with the project is Chapter 2 'Space: The Museum and the New Spatial Politics of the Frontiers', taken from my 2009 monograph Learning at the Museum Frontiers: Identity, Race and Power, Ashgate, Surrey: pp. 41-69
How my work relates to other network members
It seems to me that the keynotes I am drawing from my professional and academic history resonate with the research interests of all our TC partners. We are all concerned
- to develop emancipatory pedagogy;
- to challenge racism in all its changing and pernicious forms;
- to raise the voices of women and 'Others' silenced or ignored at our prestigious institutions of learning such as the university and museum;
- to facilitate multisensory creative routes to knowledge and literacy;
- to progress critical thought and questioning of taken-for-granted notions through a 'conversational' model of learning, which I built in dialogue over many years with Joan Anim-Addo, and that I term feminist-hermeneutics.
I share with our network a concern to address the socio-economic 'uneveness' of the world (Rhadakrishnan 2003). However, I am not a literary theorist, unlike the majority of our network. My texts are objects, text panels and special arrangements. I am the lone museum worker setting out on a journey together with colleagues who focus on literature my relationship with most of our network members is at an early stage. Nevertheless I already discern some connections that it would be interesting to develop, which I outline below.
Specific links with network members
Joan Anim-Addo and I have worked together in museums since the early 1990s. Her creative work operates at a number of frontier regions – temporal and spatial – where she articulates the complexity of meaning and meaning-making processes between disciplines, continents and languages. Anim-Addo's history poems are part of my being, moving and thinking about museums around the world. For example I draw on her poetry, which as Audre Lorde notes 'is not a luxury', and Edward Said's (19XX) notion of the contrapunctual, to explore affect and memory in museums during the 2007 UK bicentenary celebrations of the Abolition Act.
In 'Talkie Mary's Lucid Moment' ideas of the body, birth, blood, life enslavement death, enduring feelings of loss and pain, as well as the healing of imaginative 'coming back … coming', point to new museum praxis for me. My thought here echoes in Toni Morrison's interview with Paul Gilroy when she speaks of '… deliberately going mad' to deal with the madness of historical social situations and contemporary legacies such as racism but without dwelling in places of oppression, which it seems to me, may best be achieved by harnessing the imagination to poetic affect (Anim-Addo 1998: 9 [8-9]). In other words I would like to see museums foregrounding creative effort to positively connect histories, geographies and peoples.
Anim-Addo's poetry spans borders of history and testimony, England and the Caribbean, the creative and the academic, the universal and the local. To take another example 'Grandmother', which begins 'My grandmother was a mermaid' recounts a time of listening enraptured within a loving family embrace (61-62). This poem resonates not only in my own working class childhood experiences of the oral tradition – of sensual feeling, of safety, together with such a sweet smelling bulky body and the storytelling Irish voice that permitted imaginations to soar – but also with many people who have family around the globe. 'My grandmother' speaks of the 'home-space' between the tangible and the intangible, a concept I attempt to recreate in my professional work at the museum and university, and am currently revisiting through Iris Young (Young 1997: 134-164). Homi Bhabha's theorizing of Freud's 'umheimlich' or 'unhomely' that we see in Sethe's house at 124 Bluestone Rd and too many museums (Bhabha 1995; Morrison 1988). Drawing on Morrison who shows us how a community of women can raise their voices in a 'cape of sound' to fight the unhomely, speaking from the museum perspective I argue that facilitating imaginative engagement with creative people outside of the profession can challenge the umhomely feeling certain audiences encounter when venturing beyond our institutional walls (Golding 2009: 56; Morrison 1988: 261). For while socio-economically disadvantaged communities, encouraged by free admittance and funded outreach effort during the years of Labour government, have featured in audience surveys, extended engagement with museums, curators and collections, remains limited, or as some would contend tokenistic and marginal (Lynch 2010). Museum power structures are largely unchanged despite more than ten years of Diversify funding and training to make the workforce more representative of the population; Black staff continue to occupy the lower levels of the museum hierarchy, cleaning the museum rather than Directing operations (Golding 2009: 67).
Through the network I am coming to understand and revalue the notion of the homespace at a planetary level. At this early stage of the project I can only note the beginnings of this and other points of contact with network members, whose ideas from the shared readings I outline.
Victoria Arana speaks of the whole planet as "home" in her paper (p2). She also highlights the importance of 'respectful relations' that echo in my theory of feminist-hermeneutics at the museum frontiers.
Two other points relate to the imaginative museum work I am attempting to progress through imaginative work in the museum as 'homespace': the 'dream kingdom' she speaks of with reference to the poet Tijan M. Sallah may be akin to Sheldon Annis's idea of the 'Dream Space' which Gaynor Kavanagh employs and the feeling of "awe"/"wonder", which is an important part of Greenblatt's 'Resonance and Wonder' idea that has impacted museum studies (p3; Kavanagh 2000; Greenblatt 1999: 42-56).
I wonder if imaginative effort in the museum homespace requires physically slowing down and becoming mindful. In the "Tortoise Dream Kingdom," I recall the idea of 'tortoise mind' a slower deeper sort of thought that differs from our more usual 'hare brain' fast responses to objects and others (p11-12). Tortoise mind is needed in the museum, where exploring the social role and actively working towards making a "good society", which "is not one where only a few people make progress, and others live in abysmal poverty, but is one where the basic structures which allow people to progress are put in place" (p12).
Perhaps journeying, routes and roots is also key to entering the imaginative museum homespace. Arana notes a 'journey within the homeland,' of the self, which differs from the "external condition", but which in the museum may be inspired by the external world of material culture from around the 'planet' (p17). The poet's thoughtful movement personally moves me between the vastness of the world, the connection and caring of people in community and the relation to material culture, when he speaks of 'listening to the earth, sharing a calabash of water' for example (21).
Mina Kavaranta opens her paper with Spivak's remark on the importance of learning to read critically, which my own museum pedagogy emphasizes (p1). She proceeds with a note on the complexity of sharing and making connection within the "unevenness" of the world where capitalism reigns. This theme is illustrated throughout her text with reference to the 2008 European White Paper and specifically held under a critical lens with respect to contemporary migration. Karavanta points to the asymmetrical and uneven relations of 'living together' when peoples are thrown into contact, often antagonistic and the 'living with' that is 'yet to be realized' or 'yet to come' (p4-5, 17).
Karavanta's draws attention to Judith Butler's idea of performativity, which interests me and which has received some critical attention in museum studies (Fraser 2007). It seems to me that museums might profitably rise to Butler's call for working with agonistic relationships as a "performative contradiction", for example in our creative writing workshops we might unpack the idea of the performance operating as 'a process of destabilization and displacement' rather than one that 'produces and fixes meaning' (p5). Anim-Addo and I have worked on this notion of the 'performative contradiction 'and the 'absent present', in our attempts to raise the voices of a "signifying minority" at Horniman. These idea echo in Timothy Luke point about when 'cultures clash' in museums clash can be 'civilizing' (Luke in Golding 2009).
In the context of the museum I also appreciate Karavanta's use of Said to clarify notions of the nation, which national museums in particular are concerned with (31). She importantly highlights the 'affiliations' that make life possible, for not only migrant communities of 'exiles and refugees', but also the 'outcasts and homeless peoples in their own land', who are oppressed by capitalist global structures and mistaken or ill-thought through notions of national 'homogeneity' that dooms certain peoples to otherness and denies their status as human being (31-32). Spivak's call for 'planetary thinking' reinforces this point (33).
In short Karavanta's densely argued and theorized text demands longer analysis than I am able to give at this point, but I feel a shared theoretical positioning with her that I would like to explore further in this project.
Maria Lima writes on The Long Song by Andrea Levy, which is a text I love that resonates with my museum work on enslavement. While I have previously found Toni Morrison's Beloved helpful to address issues of identity generally and in a contemporary world of white supremicism, Lima shows us how Levy's text permits some more detailed discussion of the impact of racism and specifically a pernicious legacy of colonialism in the British context, which she highlights through the imaginative re-membering/retelling of a mother. The bringing to voice of the enslaved woman herself, rather than through the mouthpiece and inevitable distortions or whitenings of the oppressor or the white antislaver, is seen as a difficult struggle to articulation.
Additionally I am currently beginning work on humour studies as a theoretical framework for understanding museum meanings and am especially interested in the way that, by virtue of humour, at least in part, Lima demonstrates Levy does not leave us dwelling in victimhood (Golding 2013 forthcoming). Oppressed peoples have used humour as a way of coping with and rising above difficult situations, and as Billig demonstrates in the contemporary world, the number of Black comedians is high in ratio to white people. Lima's paper importantly helps me to trace the borderlands between not only the serious and the comic, and what Hall notes is 'the west and the rest', but also the distinctiveness within the west as the UK and the west as the US, which is pertinent to my work on museum efforts during the bicentenary of the Abolition Act in 2007.
Finally, the note Lima makes to aesthetics and politics with reference to David Dabydeen struck me as relevant to the museum debate on the extent to which politics or work within the museum's social role, and poetics or attention to the aesthetics of exhibitionary practices, may be connected in the museum. I have long been concerned with the social work of the museum, but, as someone whose life has been transformed by aesthetics during my first degree and second degrees as an art student in the UK and Japan, the value of aesthetics to work together with and to 'move' audiences is not ignored in my praxis. It seems to me that there is much work to be done at the frontiers between poetics and politics, the personal and the political, which is not to say that everything can be reduced to text and textual critique. On the contrary, I contend real human beings suffer – in their skin – perceived as too fat, ugly, dark …
Suzanne Scafe
The values attached to colour that Lima considers echo in (yellow girl) and the representation of Blackness (kidney pills) in Suzanne Scafe's work on the "Gruesome and Yet Fascinating": Hidden, Disgraced and Disregarded Cultural Forms' in Jamaican short stories, which speak to me of museums. One museum project with a Mende mask from Serra Leone centred on ideas of 'Beauty' across cultures, which can be seen at the network website. Scafe's note on the 'ordinary people's' concern with 'literary form and aesthetic value' also echoes in the discussion Lima engages in, with reference to Dabydeen, that I outline above.
Additionally her paper considers 'identity', the 'local' and the 'universal' in a number of ways. She asks how it is that we can be, as we so surely are notably by virtue of our access to imaginative realms, 'distinctively Jamaican' or British or whatever and something/s else as well, in cultural representations? In this urban rural context she highlights food (p3-4) and sensory experiences, such as the 'weird' African music and song (8, 10), which seem key to our AHRC work of translation and the contemporary museum's interest in multisensory ways of knowing. Identity and place is seen in her attention to urban and rural Jamaica. The middle-class short story writers in Jamaica hold romantic notions of the rural landscape, which are contrasted to my experience as a working class Londoner until 10 years ago when I choose to become a Leicester city dweller, knowing the unease and fearful emotions I soon feel when in the British rural landscape and towns, although there may be some connection with the emotional expression of 'pocomania' that intrigues and terrifies Una Marston along with other Jamaican writers of the period (11)
At Horniman Museum, working from the collections of anthropology with people of all ages and levels of ability, we regarded identities as plural – becoming – challenging the persistence of older mind sets that essentialised 'us and them', which are issues the writers of 'Jamaican' identity address. I remain interested in examining the tension between – being and becoming – cognisant of Fanon's (1990) warning on the hazards of adhering to or adopting 'national' culture as a fixed entity that we repeat without deeper thought or feeling, which echoes in Scafe's observations (13). Here identity touches on notions of nation and Britishness, which are areas of interest for me since the bicentenary of the Abolition Act in 2007, as I note above. Finally the communal ideals of working or 'digging' together, which Scafe outlines in her texts, seem applicable to our attempts at developing new non-hierarchical collaborative process (p4)
Finally we might translate the idea of the short story to the museum's temporary exhibitions, which are criticised and celebrated in the museum studies literature. For example Jette Sandahl, founding director of the Museum of World Cultures in Goteberg Sweden notes the importance of the temporary exhibition to challenge ideas of fixing 'other' cultures, while Samantha Heywood of Museums Journal laments the lack of a permanent gallery to showcase African and Caribbean Diaspora cultures in the V&A during the 2007 bicentenary of the Abolition Act.
I regard Lisa Marchi's work on the Middle East, specifically the Arab-British writer Leila Aboulela's literature timely for museums and institutions operating within rising Islamophobia. Her paper articulates notions of belonging, home, nation and identity that concern our network. Marchi explores these ideas in Aboulela's short story 'The Museum' with reference to the response of an 'Other' woman, Shadia, to the 'circulating misrepresentations' of her culture in a Scottish museum, which she 'alters or reshapes' (p2). Interestingly in this text Shadia subverts the binary positioning of woman as the passive object of observation, the 'Other' of the active male, by turning her gaze on her the responses of Scottish friend Bryan.
For the network Here Marchi's points us to consider what get lost in translation, and we might note what is added in translation, which is vital to museum practice (p5).
I look forward to making further relationships with the thought of network members as the project continues.

Empty Altoids tins have been used as project boxes for years. Crystal radios, DIY survial kits come to mind. Over time Altoids tins have acquired a certain nerd cache.
I'm not a wires&rsqo;n&rsqo;pliers kinda guy so my focus has been on using Altoids boxes to hold personal shrines and digital cameras.
My first Altoids project was a flashing red LED from a Microsoft mouse promo. I punched out the red flower at the top of the plant on the left (old style tin), letting the LED stick out. This kicked around for years before it finally died.
I've made a series of Buddhist pocket shrines in Altoids tins. These devotional objects made with respect and reverance.
I've also made several prayer wheels out of an Altoids tins. One style uses the fan from a CPU as the turntable, another style uses a grage door roller. Both are filled with the mantra Om mani padme hum on rolls of paper. Altoids mani.
For a couple of years I ran a web cam showing the Seattle Space Needle. I started taking old webcams apart and putting them into, yes, Altoids tins. Add cell phone camera lens and you've got a one-of-a-kind Altoids hack.
At a certain point I found myself with more Altoids tins than I needed coupled with a lack of appetite for the little buggers. Oh well...

Botsford News Release
Farmington Hills, Mich. (November 19, 2010)---The Botsford Foundation's major fundraising event for the year, the Autumn Gala, held Saturday, November 13, successfully raised more than $255,000 in net proceeds to help support facility renewal, innovation, technology and enhanced patient care at Botsford Hospital.
"Our generous donors made the Gala a wonderful success. The festive setting not only contributed to this year's success but also enhances our vision of this event as the cornerstone of our fund development program," said Margo Gorchow, Executive Director of The Botsford Foundation.
The Gala, held at the MGM Grand Hotel, included a special recognition of Botsford family practice physicians. Three members of the Botsford Medical Staff attending the Gala had achieved 25 years of service with the hospital during 2010 and received commemorative plaques. They were Carolyn D. Nelson, D.O., Robert J. Gordon, D.O. and Melody M. MacMartin, D.O.; all specialize in the practice of Family Medicine.
Four hundred and twenty five attendees took part in the opening reception and silent auction, dinner and dancing. Paul LaCasse, D.O., President and CEO of Botsford Health Care and Michael Rebock, D.O., President, Botsford Medical Staff provided welcoming remarks and presented plaques to the 25-year milestone physicians. Music was provided by the Rick Leider Band.
Among the event sponsors were the Botsford Medical Staff, Residential Home Health, Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, ACS Healthcare Solutions - A Xerox Company and Sodexo Health Care.
SIDEBAR: Silent Auction Raises More Than $25,000
A silent auction is the traditional center of attention at the Botsford Autumn Gala. The practice continued this year with 75 items generating excitement and competition among attendees.
This year's event featured handcrafted jewelry and other items some of which were donated by the hospital's medical staff, sports tickets and memorabilia, trips, and a variety of other items. A highlight of the auction, and top fundraiser for the evening, was a packaged trip featuring items assembled by a group of Botsford supporters. It included two tickets to see the Late Show with David Letterman at the Historic Ed Sullivan Theater in New York donated by Dr. Marshall Solomon and Suzanne Shawn, a $500 Marriott gift certificate donated by Patrick Tigue and Sodexo Health Care and two-round trip plane tickets and spending cash donated by Cadillac Travel.

Ahead of Thursday's election debate between the leaders of the three biggest parties, bookmakers are announcing how they are cashing in and encouraging people to gamble on the result.
David Cameron is emerging as the 'favourite' to 'win' the live debate during which the leaders will discuss issues that will affect millions of vulnerable people in the UK including asylum seekers, the elderly, the disabled and people in poverty.
David Cameron is the 5/6 favourite to be declared the winner of the first TV debate with the Prime Minister 7/4 and Nick Clegg the 5/2 outsider.
Paddy Power will be offering live in-play betting on the winner of the debate with odds responding to the performances of each of the three leaders throughout the Thursday show.
The 'winner' will be decided by an ICM Poll which will declare who the public believed to have been the best performer on the night.
Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, is quoted as saying: "Whilst David Cameron is the favourite for his skills on stage, as this is the first ever TV debate, we are as much in the dark as the viewers as to what to expect and there could be wild fluctuation in the in-play betting. Nick Clegg, for example, is the current outsider but has nothing to lose so his surprise factor may be translated by some people into thinking he was the best performer on the night."
Other bets available on the debates include which of the strict rules on the studio audience will be broken first, with applauding the 11/8 favourite ahead of booing at 7/4 and streaking a 50/1 outsider. Nick Clegg is the 11/10 favourite to feel the pressure first and to noticeably perspire on TV.
Paddy Power are also betting on ITV's likely viewing figure for the show, making an audience of 11 to 14 million the 7/4 favourite although BBC are expected to pull in the most viewers when it is their turn to host in a couple of weeks time.
After Neil Kinnock declared Brown had a 'radio face' Paddy Power are also offering 500/1 that the PM wears a Tony Blair mask during the ITV show.Tweet

HEATH SPRINGS – Blame it on the paperwork.
Members of Heath Springs Town Council learned Tuesday, Sept. 15, at its monthly meeting that repainting the municipality's water tank is at a standstill.
The renovation of the 150,000-gallon water tank in the 4000 block of South College Street is being paid for through a $405,000 Community Block Development Grant from the S.C. Department of Commerce.
Three people were injured in an accident on Great Falls Highway (S.C. 200) Wednesday, Sept. 16.
The accident happened about 4:29 p.m. when a 1991 Nissan sedan, traveling north, crossed the center line and struck a 2004 Honda minivan near the intersection of J.B. Denton Road near the Rum Creek Bridge south of Lancaster.
S.C. Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Gary Miller said the driver of the Nissan, 23-year-old Jerry Freeman of Monroe, was trapped and had to be cut out of the wreckage. He was flown to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte.
Local merchants need to be on the lookout for funny money.
Someone is circulating counterfeit $10 and $20 bills.
There have been at least seven reported cases of bogus bills reported in the area this month; one in the county and six in the city limits, including two at one fast food restaurant.
And whoever is doing it, is targeting restaurants in most of the cases.
Four Lancaster County residents were arrested earlier this month on federal warrants for interstate fencing of stolen property, a Lancaster County Sheriff's Office press release said.
U.S. Secret Service agents and sheriff's deputies arrested Jimmy Lee Montgomery, 67, of 1866 Willie Usher Road, Harold Scott McDonald, 30, of 1976 Wisdom Road, and Thomas Brice McManus, 64, and his wife, Sharon Steel McManus, 65, of 3129 Rocky River Road, on Sept. 4.
KERSHAW – Boantown is temporarily bone dry.
While no one is really sure why, the entire town of Kershaw is out of water.
Town administrator Tony Starnes said the phones in town hall started ringing just after 3 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 17, with water customers reporting the issue.
"Either we don't have any water or any water pressure," he said. "Right now, we aren't really sure."
The town gets its water from the Lancaster County Water and Sewer District (LCWSD).
At least one person was flown from the scene of an accident on Great Falls Highway (S.C. 200) on Wednesday, Sept. 16.
The accident happened about 4:30 p.m. when a mini van and sedan crashed head-on near the intersection of JB Denton Road and the Rum Creek Bridge. The accident closed down the highway temporarily as crews treated the injured and cleared the accident scene.

Barry Joel Desaine, B.Sc. Management Studies, M.Sc. Organizational Leadership
A school's climate is influenced by its administrators' leadership style—by the way they motivate personnel, gather and use information, make decisions, manage change initiatives, and handle crises. It is an essential factor for success as a poor environment can account for as much as a third of all deficiencies. Unfortunately, many administrators fail to appreciate how deeply the climate of their school can affect the performance of both staff and students. This paper explains what is meant by climate and how emotional intelligence and its influences on leadership styles can impact on the climate of a school.
What is School Climate?
School climate has been defined in many ways. One author wrote that school climate refers to "the feelings and attitudes that are elicited by a school's environment" (Loukas, 2007). Another adds that it is "based on patterns of students', parents' and school personnel's experience of school life and reflects norms, goals, values, interpersonal relationships, teaching and learning practices, and organizational structures" (Center for Social and Emotional Education). Researchers also list a variety of factors that influence school climate such as: students' and teachers' perception of their school environment, or the school's personality (Johnson, Johnson, & Zimmerman, 1996); the frequency and quality of teacher-student interactions (Kuperminc, Leadbeater and Blatt, 2001); feelings of safeness and school size (Freiberg, 1998); or feelings of trust and respect for students and teachers (Manning & Saddlemire, 1996).
The late Harvard psychologist, David McClelland, postulated that there are six key factors which influence an organization's working environment: flexibility i.e. how free workers feel they can be innovative; workers' sense of responsibility; the level of standards set; the sense of accuracy...

AR-15 zero for high-power 6 o'clock hold at 200 yards
My home range for high-power league shooting is only 200 yards. We use reduced targets for prone and prone rapid.
I'm going to be using a newly pinned removable sight on my flat-top upper next season.
I plan to zero the elevation by adjusting the front post to hit the X at 200 yards with a 6 o'clock hold. are there any standards or guidelines as to what distance the rear sight should be indicating for this setup? Or does it not really matter as long as I know what my setup is?
The last couple of years I've had the rear sight bottomed out for this range, which also nearly bottoms out the front post. The sight used to be set up to indicate 3/6 at 2 clicks up from bottoming out. Now that it's pinned, it bottoms out showing 3/6 and I don't think I can change that anymore. I'd like to have a click or two of flexibility for ammo and/or temperature changes.
Any insights appreciated!

One method is to zero the rifle with the rear sight a few clicks off the bottom. When you are satisfied take fingernail polish and put marks on the receiver and the sight as a reference point for your zero. Also count the clicks to the bottom. This will give you two indicators for finding your 200 yard zero. Keep a score or data book with zero information. Depending on memory can be dangerous. Not that I would have any knowledge about memory problems.

I would zero at 25m for poa=poi with the rear sight having at least quarter to half a turn from bottoming out (adjusting the front sight post for elevation), then try a 6 o'clock hold at 200 yards to fine tune. This should give you some adjustment to achieve a good 6 o'clock sight picture.

You should be able to get your front post down far enough to give you some wiggle room on the rear sight. There aren't any hard and fast rules as to how you are supposed to have things set, however lots of folks seem to have gotten good results with the rear sight not bottomed out as their zero.
You said your sight is pinned. I am curious who did the work?
Supposed to be 5 MOA at 100 yards per revolution on an A2 front sight, so 1.25 MOA per click.
MOA per click on your rear will play a role in just how much wiggle room you have. I thought standard A2 were 1 MOA, standard A3 carry handles were 1/2 MOA. Once you start getting into match sights its usually 1/2 and 1/4 MOA clicks.
Keeping track of your zero...
Some folks like to keep data books. I've even seen a guy keep all his data on an Ipad. Some make markings on the sights. I use masking tape and a sharpie. If you shoot enough it just becomes ingrained into memory. Find whatever way works for you, as long as you know what your click values are...that is all that truly matters when you are on the firing line.

I have my White Oak Service rifle bottomed out at 200 yards. At 200 years I never found any environmental conditions that change the elevation. Windage yes, but not elevation.
I like to keep the sights bottomed out so I know what ever range I fire, I know I have to adjust from the bottom.
I have a habit of returning the sights (bottoming them out) when I'm finished shooting a stage. I always know I have to come up from 200, I never have to wonder if when going to 600 did I have on my 200 or 300 zero.
Just a habit I developed when I started shooting high power nearly 40 years ago.
I suppose if you are only going to shoot at 200 it doesn't matter, just remember to mark your sights so you can look down and instantly see you are at your 200 yard zero.

Wow Kraig, I always assumed you'd been shooting awhile but 200 years? That's something!
For my Match A4, I zero at 200 with the rear sight up 2 clicks. No particular reason not to bottom it out, if I happen to shoot 100 it's not for score so I don't change the sights. Just the way I started doing it and never changed.

Pushing Daisies: Bitter Sweets
(S01E08) "Am I your boyfriend?" - Ned
"Yes." - Chuck
It was announced about two months ago that Molly Shannon would guest star on ABC's Pushing Daisies and the day, err... evening, has come. I've read a lot of comments from fans saying that they were somewhat scared after hearing she would guest star mostly because they thought her acting wasn't good enough for the show. In retrospect, her acting wasn't that great but it wasn't that bad either since Daisies is over the top at times.
Gallery: Pushing Daisies
Shannon's storyline line was an entertaining one because it not only involved murder but also a war between 'The Pie Ho(le)' and 'Balsam's Bittersweets Taffy and Sweet Emporium' (try to say that name with a mouthful of pink taffy!). The war showed new sides to all characters. We discovered that a past event (Ned throwing a book at a schoolmate and later paying for it) set Ned on a path of "no retaliation" and that pals Olive and Chuck were not afraid to go in Mission: Impossible mode to do what Ned was too afraid to do! It also put Emerson in an uneasy situation because Ned was put behind bars. Poor Emerson had to work more than usual! He had gotten way too comfortable lately since Ned's ability was helping Emerson cut corners and, in a way, he was also taking Ned for granted. That "thank you" sort of speech at the end was probably not an easy thing for Emerson to do but I'm glad he did it because not only will it help cement his (business) friendship with Ned but also because it's fun to watch Emerson be uncomfortable!
At first, I thought the case of the week (Tony's death) was resolved way too quickly; they found the killer about 10 minutes in the episode. I prefer episodes that have a one-hour case of the week and not two distinct storylines. To my surprise and enjoyment, the killer resurfaced in Ned's cell! Allowing him (Ned) to bond with Burly Bruce and decide that he would not tell Chuck the truth. The Bruce/doll storyline (which seems similar to the movie Lars and the Real Girl) was a mirror of what the Ned/Chuck relationship is: Bruce can never really be with his doll, nor can Ned and Chuck. How long can someone be in a romantic relationship with someone they can't fully interact with?
No matter, Chuck and Ned decided they were boyfriend and girlfriend. That decision, added to the fact it was Chuck's father's birthday, had a ripple effect over the entire episode! Olive's world made a few 360s, which made her be angry and in somewhat of a denial throughout the episode. Her chances with Ned were officially crushed. It's clear Alfredo has a thing for her and it would be great for Olive to have her dream (the one where Alfredo rushes in the Pie Hole and kisses her) come true. As for Ned, it put him in a "should I tell the truth or not path." Emerson was pushing for him to lie to Chuck but Ned wasn't so sure it was the right decision to make. After a few hours in a cell, Ned decided to not tell Chuck but the happiness he felt at the end of the episode made him blurt out the truth: "Chuck, I killed your father!" What a way to end the episode. Luckily, there is one episode left before PD goes into indefinite hiatus so we will know how Chuck reacts to this bombshell. If you have ideas, share them below!
Question of the week: My mind is blank so I'm asking you for help. Was it ever established how Ned can revive dead fruit and not touch them again (so going past the minute), yet no one (including other fruits, insects, etc.) dies?
Other tidbits of interest:
- Emerson faking sleep while Chuck talked was hilarious!...
- ... so was Alfredo speaking so quickly that it reminded me of Gilmore Girls. Olive's reply to Alfredo saying what he would do if he was in a relationship with someone he couldn't touch was so... Olive! "Forget it!"
- I loved the over-the-top and toy factory like feel of the Emporium.
- Chuck and Emerson were quite creative when lifting off the fingerprints so was Ned when using his petting hand to capture the rats.
- The gun-filled pie was cute. However, wouldn't the prison guards have checked what was inside Olive's box?
- Olive giving a double hug to Ned was refreshing.
- "How you doin'?" - Tony, using Joey Tribbiani's technique to flirt with Chuck
- "Yay to not telling the truth! - Ned

Campari Celebrates 150 Years
This year marks the 150th Anniversary of Campari, the alcoholic aperitif obtained from the infusion of bitter herbs, aromatic plants, and fruit in alcohol and water. Often classified as a type of bitter, Campari is well-known for its signature deep red hue.
As part of their year-long celebration, the Campari Group is launching several initiatives aimed at showcasing this iconic brand through the years. At the moment, Campari has only announced two of said initiatives: the launch of Galleria Campari and the revealing of Limited-Edition Art Labels. As the year progresses, Campari will be releasing more information.
The Launch of Galleria Campari: The company has opened up a dynamic, multimedia and interactive museum at its headquarters near Milan, Italy that traces the history of the brand through the expressions of modern and contemporary art from 1860 to the present day. World-famous artwork and iconic advertising on display that have highlighted the Campari brand through the years include reproductions from international artists like Leonetto Cappiello, Bruno Munari and Ugo Nespolo, as well as modern interpretations of these classic pieces.
"We are proud to be able to open a space that will allow everyone to fully experience the essence of our brand," explains Bob Kunze-Concewitz, CEO, Gruppo Campari. "We are offering our consumers, for the first time, a unique experience linked to the worlds of art, communication and photography that over the years have secured the uniqueness and appreciation of our brand worldwide. The 150-year anniversary is for us an inspiration to keep on growing and experiencing different creative and artistic forms, always following the red passion, the fundamental element of our daily commitment."
Campari Unveils Limited-Edition Art Labels: Italy's most famous red spirit has enlisted three contemporary international artists: avaf, Tobias Rehberger and Vanessa Beecroft, for the Campari Art Label Project, a collaborative initiative which highlights the long-standing relationship between the brand and the art world. A great gift for fans of the visual arts and Campari aficionados, these limited-edition works of art will be on shelves in selected U.S. cities for a limited time starting in July.
"This project represents the occasion to give a memento of our 150-year anniversary to our consumers," says Cesare Vandini, Group Marketing Director, Gruppo Campari. "This milestone anniversary is a starting point not a finishing post. Tradition has allowed us to look at Campari as a continuously evolving brand and our goal is to continue to establish ourselves as a pioneering brand, dictating and interpreting new trends and cultures."
There will be much more to report as the year unfolds, including new cocktails and events. Stay tuned. Mutineer will continue to reveal the Campari 150th Anniversary initiatives as more information becomes available.

Back when Marsh stopped doubling coupons, I noticed all mention of double coupons also disappeared from Meijer's Frequently Asked Questions. I figured we didn't have much time and now it's happened.
Signs like pictures above are appearing in Meijer stores in Michigan and Indiana. While there has been no official announcement, Meijer has confirmed on their Facebook page that they will stop double coupons in "select markets".
What can you do?
- Voice your concerns. Kindly contact Meijer Headquarters online or call 1-877-E-MEIJER.

Username: superior2g
I'm a CSS/CS GO player from Aus, I always enjoyed watching Quake, particularly after watching a fatal1ty doco, from that I started watching the best like cypher and rapha duel, I've only been playing though despite my interest in the game for a month or so on and off casually, I've played Counter-Strike at a professional level in a number of leagues (cybergamer, cevo, etc.) and I really enjoy this game more and want to get into the competitive side of things so definitely hit me up if you want a duel, I need some schooling.
Username's hanniballer, located on the east coast. Pretty good at CA but new to duel. Always looking for evenly matched players!
Username is Sabre2th. I'm new to quake, been playing for about a month now. I come from the CS scene so I am familiar with shooters. Pls add me. Thx!
Go ahead and add me I'm trying to get into competitive Dueling.
I am looking to learn duel, I have only played some CA so far (and lots of q3 a long time ago) so I am very noob to duel. Looking for people who are friendly and willing to share knowledge, advice and give some pointers. Not necessarily other noobs but not people who just want to bash.
So add me if you want to play friendly matches for fun and learning, I can play at frankfurt and maybe one of the .nl servers, will probably get pro soon so I can host if necessary.

A village committee has been marking up the existing plan, crossing out accomplished or outdated goals and inserting language that calls for extending two-acre zoning into sections of the village, preserving marine uses at Freezer Point, building sidewalks down Mary Dunn Road and Independence Drive, locating a small elderly housing development near the village center, and discontinuing Route 6A as a bicycle route in favor of a new off-road trail.
The discussion and debate will continue at the rescheduled civic association meeting, for which a new date was not set at press time.
"Undeveloped lands in this village include large tracts of land in old estates, along Route 6A, and the bay shore," the latest draft of the village plan notes. The purpose is not to trigger a land rush but to raise the question of how to preserve what remains.
"In order to protect both natural resources and historic, scenic landscapes, residents expressed a strong desire to extend the increased lot size of two acres, to portions of Barnstable Village," the draft states. "Of immediate concern are the larger lots along Route 6A, north to the harbor. This is the area of the greatest concentration of historic buildings, and the area of impervious soils where run-off can affect water quality in Barnstable Harbor, especially the adjacent flats and shellfish beds. A lot size increase should be promptly implemented before land division and development precludes this action."
The village plan draft is concerned not only with preserving land but also with what gets built. It incorporates a statement from the civic association that the village "recognizes that its historic resources are most important to its character and to the economy of the town. Mansionizing on small lots, however, is threatening to change that character."
The draft calls for the zoning board and the Barnstable Old King's Highway Regional Historic District Committee to consider "the scale of surrounding development" in its decisions.
Of great interest to anyone thinking of the future of Barnstable Village is the proposal by developer Stuart Bornstein to build a condo complex on Freezer Point at Barnstable Harbor. In an e-mail message, civic association President Ralph Cahoon wrote that while the group "has not taken a position on the project itself, it was very clear (at a January meeting) that the Board Directors has no desire to revise the zoning for the Freezer Point area in the LCP (Local Comprehensive Plan)."
The area is zoned for marine business uses.
Sidewalks are desired in the village, but not with the high granite curbs seen elsewhere in town. The draft specifies that they be "set back from the roadway wherever possible, separated from the traveled way by a grass plot with trees..." And the plan calls for sidewalks on Mary Dunn Road south of Route 6A as well as along Independence Drive, noting that a sidewalk on the latter road would require lighting and thus "probably require the road being taken as a public road."
A proposal in previous plans for a small elderly housing development in or near the village center has been refined in the draft to welcome "the frail elderly and handicapped who cannot drive."
The draft plan declares that Route 6A "should be discontinued as a bicycle route -- the roadway is too narrow and heavily trafficked to be safe." The alternative proposed is an off-road recreational bike path to be constructed in cooperation with the Cape Cod Commission. Wherever it goes, it won't be along the railroad track. That option carried in a village plan of years past is lined out in the latest draft.
Other ideas in the draft plan include working with the county to create a tree farm at the county farm, using it as a nursery for replacement trees along Route 6A. There's the suggestion that funds could be raised to replace some of the old trees that have been "disfigured by harsh and inappropriate pruning" along the Old King's Highway.

Herding Grosse Pointe style
Kathy Ryan Staff Writer
write the author
Driving a front end loader to haul manure is part of Wilborns job.
photo by Renee Landuyt
January 24, 2013
When Dane Wilborn was riding herd in Wyoming on hundreds of head of cattle, or was on horseback in Arizona tending to miles of fences, he never imagined himself bringing those skills to his hometown of Grosse Pointe Woods.
But in 2010 Wilborn, 24, found himself with a degree in agribusiness from Arizona State University, a love of horses nurtured since a fifth grade class trip to Camp Storer five years of experience as a professional cowboy and a small business manager. He also wanted to come home after spending several years out west after graduating from Grosse Pointe North High School in 2006.
"I stopped by the barn at the Hunt Club, said I had some horse experience and they hired me as a mucker," Wilborn explained. And while mucking stalls (that's horse speak for cleaning stalls) isn't what most college grads aspire to, Wilborn saw it differently.
"There are very few people in Grosse Pointe who say they get to play with horses all day," Wilborn said with a laugh. "I was perfectly happy to just be around the horses."
But Wilborn's background soon became known around the barn, and when the position of barn manager opened up, Wilborn was at the top of a very short list to be offered the position. It wasn't long before he found himself applying much of what he learned in his years at Arizona State.
"Agribusiness is just what the name implies, a combination of agriculture and business. I've had classes in finance, management and marketing, as well as classes in agriculture. The Hunt Club is not a huge operation, but it still requires much of what I learned in Arizona."
And while the Hunt Club is about as far from Arizona's Superstition Mountains as one can get, the animal care issues and the business end of it are much the same.
Wilborn said with the Hunt Club being in the middle of a city, it's off the beaten track, so to speak, when it comes to necessary horse supplies, like hay and stall bedding. With hay prices rising monthly, he works closely with the hay supplier to get the best price. And with an order of about 750 bales per month, Wilborn keeps a constant eye on the bottom line.
Another problem facing the Hunt Club in its urban setting is what to do with the hay the horses have consumed, in other words, the manure. For several years, the manure and used bedding was shipped to a municipal incinerator in Genesee County where it was burned, but new regulations put an end to that arrangement.
"With all the talk of urban farming in Detroit, we'd be perfect to partner with when it comes to fertilizer," Wilborn said. "It would be environmentally responsible, plus a perfect solution for us."
While a student at Arizona State, Wilborn managed a feed store where he learned about horse nutrition and gained practical hands- on experience running a small business.
"That's essentially what the barn is," he explained, "a small business."
In addition to managing a staff of 10 people, he oversees the overall care and feeding of the 36 equine residents, organizing farrier and veterinarian appointments, establishing and working within a budget and managing the physical property of what is a 24 hour a day, seven day a week operation.
One of the biggest projects Wilborn took on since becoming manager was reseeding the paddock areas. Used to dealing with what he describes as "miles" of grazing area out West as opposed to the 14 acres that make up the Hunt Club, Wilborn has become a quick study on how best to manage small operations.
"One of our problems is that we are basically landlocked, and it was evident that at least one of our pastures needed to be reseeded," he explained. "In the perfect world, you could just shut down the area and let it rest for a year, but we don't have that luxury. One of our members, Dr. Herman Houin, did the research on the best grass to plant, and ended up with a pasture blend. Obviously, we can't use fertilizers and standard landscape grass wouldn't work either."
With the barn being a 24/7 business, Wilborn can oftentimes be found on the property early in the morning and late at night. But it's not all work, as he occasionally can be found on horseback, exercising some of the club-owned horses. Wilborn is easy to spot on horseback, he's one of the few riders at the Hunt Club to ride with a Western saddle.
Known as a hunter-jumper barn with a century long tradition of English riding, Wilborn smiles when he says the horses he tends to here in Grosse Pointe are just a little spoiled by their owners.
"I have to admit that I wasn't all that familiar with vitamin supplements for horses until I got here," he said with a laugh. "I'm used to horses that live on grass."
And while managing a feed store in Arizona helped familiarize him with the needs of several types of animals other than horses, he's come up against one problem in Grosse Pointe he hadn't encountered before — foxes.
Wilborn wasn't at the barn when the coyotes were occasionally spotted on the property, but the coyotes seemed to have been replaced by the occasional fox that is seen lurking around the barn and even in the club's indoor riding arena.
Research led Wilborn to a humane, time honored cure for a fox problem, which, to put it delicately, involved "marking" the territory.
"I have to admit it was rather ironic that the Hunt Club, where the logo is a fox, had a problem with foxes," he said. But with so many children and horses, Wilborn preferred the foxes stay outside.
While Wilborn spends his days with his first love, horses, he still finds time for hockey, playing in two night leagues.
He also enjoys off-roading, talking about a Jeep he rebuilt "from the ground up" for driving around the Arizona desert.
"I love the freedom of being in the middle of nowhere," he said.
He credits his parents, Giles and Jackie Wilborn, with his sense of adventure.
"My parents are retired teachers, and they have always supported me and encouraged me," he said.
He's been hooked on horses since a fifth grade trip to YMCA Camp Storer, and while growing up in Grosse Pointe Woods, he would ride his bike over to the Hunt Club just to stand at the fence to watch the horses.
When he was 17, he spent a week at a dude ranch in Wyoming, returning the next summer as a ranch employee, ending his summer by participating in the Outlaw Trail Ride across Wyoming.
While attending Arizona State, he worked as a cowboy at a cattle ranch in the Superstition Mountains, rounding up cattle, riding fences and moving herds.
"It literally was just like you see in the movies," he said. "We worked from sunup 'til sundown."
And like most real-life cowboys, he participated in the Arizona Junior Rodeo where he learned how to ride broncs.
"It was fun while it lasted," he said with a laugh. "But I thought I had better quit while I was still in one piece. Just don't tell my mother."

Scotch appreciators love independent bottlers, variety that they deliver, rare expressions and exciting alternative flavor profiles from the parent distillery they provide. Our highest accolades go to Gordon & MacPhail, one of the biggest and well-respected independent Scotch whisky producers, for its selection so insightful and its releases so utterly vast, with perhaps more than 100 bottlings on the market. Keeping up with all G&M releases would be merely impossible, so for this holiday celebration we picked a single bottling, Mortlach 21, which we felt is a great find for the occasion: smoky and fruity with a hint of sherry, honey, Christmas spices. If you've tried some other Mortlach's at the past Expos, you know how this Speyside whisky stands out, especially as single malt and not the component of Johnnie Walker blend, whereby some savvy business decision it typically goes to. An excellent example of how independent approach to whisky making can bring value to the line…and more merriment to our Christmas table. And, of course, the Expo will give you a chance to get your hands on other wonderful renditions of whiskies drawn from the casks of the major-name distilleries alongside with the quiet ones… an exquisite whisky tour!
We do love to talk whisky—we're sending our regards to our native fellowman, Californian DavorinKuchan of Old World Spirits distillery. When Davorin, a Croatian-born third generation winemaker and master distiller, was showcasing his proprietary and certified organic gins, liqueurs and one of the US first absinthes; there were talks about next time bringing the 100% white organic rye whiskey. Now, California has The Goldrun, the first real home-made option since Old Potrero. The Goldrun is about one year old, but already has a complexity and depth of flavor that put it much further beyond many of its upstart peers. Spicy, peppery, and full of bready yeast, there's perhaps not another whiskey out there that tastes more like actual rye bread. Congratulations on the job, Davorin; we look forward to seeing you at the Expo and sampling your "good stuff that needs no special effects".

Bali Surf Cam - Bingin Beach
The Indonesian surf experience, the quality of its waves and the "Bali Hai" lifestyle attracts surfers from all over the world. Bali has over twenty top-quality breaks on the Southwest and Southeast coasts of the island and around the Bukit Peninsula.
Bali is an island of high volcanoes, rice fields, temples and beautiful beaches. Mick's Place is in the heart of all quality surf, hence his decision to live in Bingin. Neighbouring surf beaches include; Dreamland, Padang-Padang, Balangan, Impossibles and Uluwatu. Bingin Beach is directly beneath you at Mick's Place and what a wonderful thing it is to float in the pool with a refreshing beverage and watch the waves roll in. Check out our Daily Surf Cam of Bingin Beach - Bali's top surf spot.
The water conditions are excellent but it is advisable to wear booties as the reef can have a nasty bite. Whether a learner or an experienced surfer Bingin and the surrounding beaches offer everybody a chance to improve themselves and have a "Bingin Ball!".
We are having technical issues with the Surf Cam and working on a resolution.

Difficult to capture all tenure rights in a land information system -- multiple dimensions.
Many components amenable to automation; appropriate data models still evolving
In the United States, the land records system evolved from English common law. Following the American Revolution, several Acts established a rudimentary deeds systems and various systems for granting state lands to citizens. The implication for GIS is that we are now using modern information technologies to support a system designed for a simple agrarian society. The system was not designed to provide proof of land ownership, nor was it designed to handle complicated land arrangements such as de-bundling the "bundle of sticks"... individual property rights.
The main component of a local land information system is the land ownership parcel. It may be described in many ways -- as a record on a deed, a description on a tax assessment record, surveying records, etc. The reconciliation of records in various forms will continue to challenge us as we attempt to automate these records.
One vision for a fully automated system would include more than just a GIS -- other computer-based components such as document management system, database management system, and resolution of organizational and legal problems. Such a system would support not only mandated land records management responsibilities of local jurisdictions, but would also serve the needs of a broad range of actors using land information for a wide variety of programs and functions.
