Positive Premiere of Albanian pavilion at the Biennale of Architecture - Venice
In the presence of Mr. Engelbert Ruoss, Director of UNESCO Venice Office, Mr. Ols Lafe, representative of the Albanian Ministry of Tourism, Culture, Youth and Sports, the curators and numerous visitors, Albania's pavilion entitled, "Beyond Color", successfully concluded it first national participation in the 12th International Architecture Exhibition: People meet in architecture in Venice.
The pavilion was composed of a series of multimedia presentations of Albanian architectural traditions, featuring the colorfully-painted buildings of the capital city of Tirana. It also promoted an online architectural competition that is taking place this fall, in which three Albanian cultural monuments will be featured for architects around the world to compete in designing new economic uses for these historic structures.
Mr. Engelbert Ruoss, Director UNESCO Venice Office, underlined that "…the UNESCO Venice Office seeks to support the participation of South Eastern European Countries to such an important event. It is an occasion for promoting their culture on international level and creates an opportunity to view different perspectives of European architecture."
According to the curator of the Pavilion, Mr. Gjergj Bakallbashi, "the first Albanian Pavilion at the Architecture Biennale was the culmination of a coordinated research project undertaken by architects, Albanian and non, professors of history of architecture and of art from Harvard University, artists, students of architecture, under the support of the Albanian government and UNESCO. Titled 'Beyond Color', it has shown problems and emergencies with Tirana's architectural and urban heritage as well as the potential of this heritage to shape the future. The pavilion became not only an opportunity to exchange ideas but also a source of knowledge for architects to rely on in their efforts to shape the city. We hope that this work will continue during the next two years and in the next architecture biennale."
The Government of Albania is very proud of this first participation.
"The Ministry of Tourism, Culture, Youth and Sports believes that the Venice Biennale of Architecture and the participation of Albania will create vast opportunities for maximizing the exchange of ideas and visions among the experts of the field. This first successful participation in the 2010 Biennale is only the first good representation of Albania which we hope to take further and enrich in terms of content and form in the upcoming Biennale in 2012.", said Mr. Ols Lafe, Director of National Heritage, who participated at the closing ceremony on behalf of the Ministry.
The Albanian pavilion was located in the Artiglierie of the Arsenale and sponsored by the Albanian Ministry of Tourism, Culture, Youth and Sports. The UNESCO Venice Office supported in part the Albanian Pavilion through the UN Joint Programme, "Culture and Heritage for Social and Economic Development", funded through the Spanish MDG Achievement Fund.

"Vampire Diaries" Alum Confirmed to Play Savitar on "The Flash" S3
Comic Books, TV
It's time once again for our monthly trip through Previews looking for cool, new comics.
Wait a minute … "monthly"?
It's true that we haven't taken a What Looks Good tour in a few months, but the feature is back with an all-new approach that we hope will be more varied and useful than the old format. Instead of Michael and Graeme just commenting on everything that catches our attention in the catalog, we've invited Chrises Mautner and Arrant to join us in each picking the five new comics we're most looking forward to. What we'll end up with is a Top 20 (or so; there may be some overlap) of the best new comics coming out each month.
As usual, please feel free to play along in the comments. Tell us what we missed that you're looking forward to or – if you're a comics creator – mention your own stuff.
Chris Mautner
1) Love and Rockets New Stories #5 by Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez (Fantagraphics) — How do you possibly top the triumphant storytelling feat that was "The Love Bunglers"? I dunno, but Jaime Hernandez is certainly going to give it the old college try, this time shifting the focus onto the vivacious "Frogmouth" character. Gilbert, meanwhile, brings back some of his classic Palomar characters, so yeah, this is pretty much a "must own" for me.
2) Skippy Vol. 1: Complete Dailies 1925-1927 by Percy Crosby (IDW) — Percy Crosby's Skippy might well be the great forgotten comic strip of the 20th century. Extremely popular in its day, and a huge influence on such luminaries as Charles Schulz, the strip has largely been forgotten and the name conjures up little more than images of peanut butter. IDW's effort to reacquaint folks with this strip might change that — the few snippets I've read suggest this is real lost gem.
3) The Voyeurs by Gabrielle Bell (Uncivilized Books) — Tom Kaczynski's small-press publishing company drops its first major, "big book" release with this memoir from the always-excellent Gabrielle Bell. Collecting work from her series Lucky (and, I think, some of her recent minis), the book chronicles a turbulent five year period as she travels around the world. Should be great.
4) Godzilla: The Half Century War by James Stokoe (IDW) — I usually stay as far away from licensed books as possible, but there is one simple reason I'm including this comic in my top five: James Stokoe. Stokoe's Orc Stain has quickly become one of my favorite serialized comics, and his obsession with detailing every inch of the page combined with his ability to incorporate significant manga storytelling tropes in his work convince me he can do a solid job chronicling the adventures of the big green lizard that spits radioactive fire.
5) Barbara by Osamu Tezuka (Digital Manga) — Speaking of manga, here's one of the more noteworthy Kickstarter projects of recent years: Digital Manga's attempt to bring the master's saga of a famous author and the homeless, beautiful woman he takes in and assumes to be his literal muse. This is well regarded in many Tezuka fan circles as one of the cartoonist's better adult stories, and I'm glad to see Digital willing to take a chance on bringing more Tezuka to the West. I'll definitely be buying this. I should also note that Vertical will also be offering some Tezuka this month, namely a new edition of Adolph (originally published by Viz in the '90s), here titled Message to Adolph but well worth checking out regardless of the title.
Auctions | Bids for the $412 check from Detective Comics to Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster that includes a $130 line item for the rights to Superman have already surpassed $31,000 in less than three days at auction on ComicConnect.com. The auction ends April 16. [ABC News, The New York Times]

There are two reasons to check out this 5-page preview of Wonder Woman #6 at io9: One is to look at Tony Akins's drawings of Wonder Woman fighting the tentacled god Posiedon—no, no subtext there—and the other is to read the debate about the current direction of the series in the comments section. If you like a good ol' Internet slapfest, it's right there for you. But honestly, the art is reason enough. I'm not currently reading Wonder Woman, but these pages might just make me start.
Matt and Felicia, sitting in a tree — or, actually, more like a giant hole instead of a tree, and I guess Spider-Man being electrocuted kind of kills the mood …
Courtesy of Marvel Comics, we're pleased to present an exclusive preview from Daredevil #8 by writer Mark Waid and artist Kano, with a cover by regular series artist Paolo Rivera (who returns to drawing the interiors with issue #9). It's the second part of a crossover with Amazing Spider-Man #677, which is also written by Mark Waid and features art by Emma Rios. The solicitation text refers to the Spider-Man/Black Cat/Daredevil as a love triangle, so I guess we'll see if sparks fly figuratively between Daredevil and Black Cat as the sparks fly literally for Spider-Man.
This is the comic that topped CBR's recent top 100 comics of 2011 list, and many of us here at the blog are big fans as well. It's kind of cool to see a title like Daredevil, which has had very strong creative teams working on it for the past 10 years or so, reinvent itself with a completely different tone and still remain impressive.
Enjoy the preview, and look for both Amazing Spider-Man #677 and Daredevil #8 in shops later this month.
Courtesy of Fantagraphics, we're pleased to present one more preview from the publishing house–Dutch comics artist and graphic designer Joost Swarte's Is That All There Is?
The book collects virtually all of Swarte's European alternative comics work from 1972 on, including stories published in Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly's RAW Magazine in the 1980s. It also includes an introduction by Chris Ware. Some of the stories were done in watercolor, retro duotones and Zip-a-Tone screens, and Fantagraphics is putting a lot of care into matching the coloring.
Please note this preview contains some nudity, so it's probably Not Safe For Work and isn't for children. Check it out after the jump. It comes out in February.
Retailing | In the wake of the August closing of the Atomic Comics chain, Mesa, Arizona-area retailers are searching for ways to diversify in an attempt to keep their own stores afloat. Mike Banks, owner of Samurai Comics, has even opened a new location next to Atomic's former flagship store to serve customers who suddenly found themselves without a comics shop. [East Valley Tribune]
Creators | Mike Mignola talks about his plans for next year's Hellboy in Hell: "It's a personal story about him, but with huge ramifications for the structure of Hell. I'm trying to get Hellboy free of the giant, Beast-of-the-Apocalypse storyline. That story has to get bigger before it can be put away. This first arc is the culmination of all the prophecy crap I've been trotting out throughout the years. We put a lot of things to bed." Mignola also discusses his plans for B.P.R.D. and why he can't watch the pilot of The Amazing Screw-On Head. [io9]
Creators | Tom Spurgeon continues his holiday interview series with a lengthy chat with Jeff Parker that spans his early comics-reading experiences, the influence of his artistic background on his writing, and his career at Marvel. [The Comics Reporter]
Courtesy of writer Nathan Edmondson (Grifter, Who Is Jake Ellis?), we're pleased to present a preview of the second issue of The Activity, which goes on sale Jan. 11. Illustrated by Mitch Gerads and published by Image Comics, The Activity debuted this past week and focuses on the U.S Army's last secret special operations tribe, The Intelligence Support Activity, or Gray Fox. Within Gray Fox is a team of elite men and women whose mission is flexible, whose technology is bleeding edge, and whose execution is precise and lethal. They are Team Omaha, and they serve The Activity.
"After the overwhelming response to issue #1, we're primed to light the fuse on issue #2, out in just two weeks!" Edmondson said about the preview.
Check out the preview and solicitation text after the jump. You can read more about the series in CBR's interview with Edmondson about the book.
Of all the Archie lines, the Jughead comics seem to be the most interesting. I know the main Archie comic has Kevin Keller and Kiss and all that, but the Jughead authors seem to mix things up a bit more and come up with more original story lines.
What struck me about this preview, though, was the art in the first story—it's very much in the Archie tradition (look at Jughead's sideways smile in the first panel, below) but somehow more dynamic as well. Penciler Ron Frenz seems to be a longtime Archie artist, so I don't know why I'm noticing this for the first time, but it really pulled me in. That said, the first page is a bit disturbing; I think it's the look on Archie's face that does it. He's simpering. Archie does not simper, dammit!
Anyway, here is a quick look at two stories from Jughead Double Digest #176; if you like 'em, the comic goes on sale this week.
While the Life With Archie magazine is getting a lot of attention, something interesting is going on in the Jughead comic as well. In the current story, written by Craig Boldman, Jughead leaves home after a disagreement with his parents and crashes in the homes of various friends. As I mentioned earlier this year, this storyline shows Jughead being a bit more introspective than we are used to seeing him—just a bit, as every situation is still played for maximum laughs. It all seems to be coming to a head in Jughead #210, when he decides to move in with Trula Twyst, a fellow student with a penchant for pop psychology. The comic comes out next week, but we have an exclusive preview after the jump.
Image Comics Publisher Eric Stephenson said on his blog yesterday that the cover for Pigs #6 and an image from Glory #23 include swastikas and thus will not be featured as originally drawn in Diamond's December Previews. The catalog is distributed in Germany, where the law prohibits the "use of symbols of unconstitutional organisations," which includes the swastika if used in conjunction with Nazi idealism.
"This is nothing new," Stephenson wrote. "Swastika-laden images have been prohibited from appearing in publications sold in Germany for decades at this point. I'm not sure I understand what the point is, though. World War II did happen, and Nazis did exist. I understand not wanting to encourage modern day Neo-Nazi groups, but censorship isn't a particularly effective weapon against hate groups of any kind. Plus outlawing specific Nazi iconography seems strangely revisionist, as though it's best to just not acknowledge the impact that symbol had, or the evil associated with it."
The law Stephenson refers to is a remnant of the "Denazification" efforts in Germany by the Allies after World War II. Among other initiatives, the Allies sought to remove all symbols of Nazism, such as the swastika, from German culture. In a post written in 2009, when a swastika appeared on a cover for The Boys, German writer Marc-Oliver Frisch noted that the law has an exceptions clause, that it "shall not be applicable if the means of propaganda or the act serves to further civil enlightenment, to avert unconstitutional aims, to promote art or science, research or teaching, reporting about current historical events or similar purposes." While The Boys issue with the swastika was not distributed in Germany, the German version of Maus, however, uses the original cover art that includes the swastika — but convention posters that used the Maus artwork have also been known to be confiscated by German authorities.
"Now you could argue that the paragraph clearly says that one of the exceptions is a work of art, which comics clearly are," German blogger Subzero wrote in a post earlier this year. " Well, not here in Germany and I guess it's going to take a few decades till somebody here is willing to go to court on that point. In Germany comics don't have that position."
The Glory image that will appear in the catalog will not include the symbol, while the Pigs cover will be blurred out, as seen in the above image. You can find the Glory image by artist Ross Campbell, and a larger version of the uncensored Christian Ward-drawn Pigs cover, after the jump.
The second volume of Jarrett Williams' awesome wrestling comics, Super Pro K.O.!: Chaos in the Cage, headbutts its way into comic shops today. Courtesy of Oni Press, we're pleased to present a look at 23 pages from the new volume. Check it out after the jump.
It's time once again for our monthly trip through Previews looking for cool, new comics. As usual, we're focusing on graphic novels, collected volumes, and first issues so that I don't have to come up with a new way to say, " Life with Archie is still awesome!" every month. And I'll continue letting Tom and Carla do the heavy lifting in regards to DC and Marvel's solicitations.
Also, please feel free to play along in the comments. Tell me what I missed that you're looking forward to or – if you're a comics creator – mention your own stuff.
Richie Rich Gems Winter Special - In addition to their modern-look Richie Rich, Ape has also re-introducied the classic version in both new and reprinted adventures. I missed the solicit for Richie Rich Gems #44 last month (which picked up where the Harvey series left off in 1982), but the series continues with not only the Winter Special, but #45 as well.
Dragons vs Dinosaurs - I haven't had great luck with Arcana's books in the past, but c'mon. The title alone…
Hero Happy Hour: On the Rocks - This, on the other hand, is no risk at all. I'm a big fan of Dan Taylor and Chris Fason's superhero bar stories and this is an all-new, 80-page adventure. Not reprints; not even a printed version of the webcomic. It's all-new and I need it.
The Dare Detectives: The Snow Pea Plot Collected Edition – Archaia prepares for their publishing Ben Caldwell's Dare Detectives: The Kula Kola Caper by re-publishing the first story that was originally put out by Dark Horse.
I've written before about my frustration with Previews, the monthly catalog that's roughly the size of what we used to call "a phone book" — just think, one day phone books won't exist, and yet we'll still say that things are "like a phone book," because that's how language works — but this weekend, I realized: Previews is still better than the Internet.
Those of us in the East Coast Division of Robot 6 have already endured an earthquake, which knocked the pictures on my office walls askew and caused several moments of consternation; now there's a hurricane pounding its way up the coast towards us. Time for some escape reading! In these previews of B&V Friends Double Digest #217 and Jughead Double Digest #173, both due out next week in comics shops and digital apps everywhere, Betty and Veronica are still at the beach, battling over bikinis, and at the mall, battling with Jughead. Get some bottled water, make sure there are batteries in your flashlight, and settle down for a little light reading!
Another Comic-Con is over, and even those of us who didn't go are probably suffering convention fatigue from the deluge of news and awesomeness. Time for a break! Here's a quick preview of B & V Friends Double Digest #216, which is out in comics stores tomorrow — but here at Robot 6 today!

By Staff Sgt. Michael J. Taylor, 21st TSC Public AffairsDecember 13, 2010
KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany - Executing the mission and taking care of Soldiers are two key tasks for all Army leaders. These tasks come with much responsibility and can be very hard to balance. But day after day leaders throughout the Army continue to work hard to make sure the Army's missions get accomplished and the Soldiers are taken care of.
In an effort to take care of Soldiers and show them that their leadership really cares, on and off duty, the command team from the 21st Theater Sustainment Command recently initiated a program called courtesy patrol.
The program was started to assist Soldiers and help create a better environment by ensuring Soldiers don't drink and drive and avoid altercations while out and about, enjoying their time off during the evenings.
"The courtesy patrol is a way to mitigate crimes in the community, help and assist Soldiers, and show the Soldiers that the leadership actually does care," said Command Sgt. Maj. James E. Spencer, the command sergeant major of the 21st TSC. "We are out there as engaged leaders, not law enforcement or anything like that. We are not out there to discipline Soldiers."
The courtesy patrol consists of several teams made up of noncommissioned officers and officers. Each team is assigned a different zone in Kaiserslautern where they patrol the numerous establishments in the late evenings and early mornings on weekends.
During their patrols, the teams ask Soldiers if they have a battle buddy, have they been drinking, have a plan to get home and if they need any assistance.
The courtesy patrols also try to assist with any confrontations they encounter that involve Soldiers and defuse those situations before they escalate and become serious.
"We want the Soldiers to have fun. We just don't want anyone to get in a vehicle and drive drunk, and we want to try to mitigate any conflicts before they happen," said Sgt. 1st Class Chgward A. Williams, the 21st TSC property management office noncommissioned officer in charge.
The program was started several months ago with all the sergeants major from the 21st TSC conducting the courtesy patrols. Once the initial introduction of the program was established with the Soldiers out there and the community was aware, master sergeants and sergeants first class were incorporated until eventually all noncommissioned officers and junior officers were added.
"We started with the sergeants major because we wanted to teach people first and then work our way down the ranks," said Spencer. "We also wanted to condition the population and the local community to understand how to deal with us. We wanted to show them why we are there and the benefits of our presence."
In the last three or four months, the courtesy patrol has documented more than 60 incidents where they have intercepted, helped and assisted Soldiers in getting home safely by ensuring they are traveling with a designated driver, helping them catch a cab or providing them with a ride home.
According to military investigators, since the program began they have seen a decrease in Soldiers driving under the influence of alcohol as well as assaults and other incidents.
"We have been getting a lot of support from leaders, Soldiers and vendors or owners of establishments throughout the community," said Williams. "The Soldiers have expressed their appreciation of the courtesy patrol being out there and assisting them."
"We have heard nothing but good things from the vendors and owners. They actually welcome us because they know that their establishment doesn't get broken up by fights, and there are less DUIs coming out of their facilities," said Spencer. "The fact that they are welcoming us as an alternative means for keeping the peace means we are making a difference."
According to Spencer, the 21st TSC command team plans to continue the program and to take this program model and spread it throughout the entire 21st TSC footprint.
"Understanding the environment in which your Soldiers are in is a good thing for leaders, and conversely it works for the Soldiers as well," said Spencer. "If a Soldier sees their leaders out and about, they actually understand that the leaders really care."
"We are noncommissioned officers, we are officers, we are leaders and we are leaders 24-7," said Williams. "If it takes for us to go out and assist the Soldiers then we will do that just to show them that we are here for them and that we care."
Leadership engagement is the only way we are going to mitigate all the challenges we are having across our formations and the courtesy patrol is just one way of doing that, said Spencer.

Unique flying school opens in Sanford
School is first-of-its-kind to open in Northern New England
A new flight training school is operating at the Sanford Seacoast Regional Airport.
Dash Aviation, which opened March 1, offers an accelerated program for pilots who need training in multi-engine flight.
Jake Speidel, who owns the flight school with his father, Patrick, says the school fills a much-needed void in the New England area, with the only other training of its kind offered in Connecticut.
The program is very comprehensive, designed for students to complete the training in two to three days and guaranteeing them seven hours of flight time.
With the addition of Dash Aviation, the Sanford Airport now has three flight schools.

Garrett's exit strategy:
Environment Minister Peter Garrett will axe the Rudd Government?s disastrous home insulation program - and replace it with another scheme entirely.
Mr Garrett will make the announcement at 1.45pm today, in Sydney.
The $2.5 billion scheme, which has been in place since last year, has led to four deaths, countless injuries and around 100 house fires.
Under the new scheme consumers will have to pay for insulation work and get the Government rebate through Medicare offices.
Now there's just the small matter of Garrett resigning.
An industry source told The Age that consistent reports of dodgy installers, including allegations of sexual misconduct on behalf of one installer raised on Radio 3AW this morning, tipped the troubled scheme over the edge.
You'd have thought the four deaths would have been enough.
Have Your Say
Under the new scheme consumers will have to pay for insulation work and get the Government rebate through Medicare offices.
Oh good. That way people can kill two birds with one stone. A one-stop process whereby they can collect both their rebate for their home insulation, as well as their medicare rebate for the surgeries to treat their injuries from house fires and electrocutions.
Fri 19 Feb 10 (01:41pm)
Medicare Offices?
Is that to make it easier while you are claiming money back from injuries suffered while your house burned down?
Fri 19 Feb 10 (01:42pm)
Medicare Offices !!!
I guess that is 2 birds with 1 stone ??
Fri 19 Feb 10 (01:46pm)
Fri 19 Feb 10 (02:43pm)
Two birds, one stone?
... more meat.
Meanwhile, mr baldy will be discussing with its advisors ways and means to cast the blame on consumers.
A combination of Shakespeare, JRR Tolkien, and Agatha Christie could not even dream of this bullsh*t!
Fri 19 Feb 10 (01:49pm)
Can't have a sex scandal.
Oh, no. No sireee.
I'm just wondering why they aren't blaming Abbott.... or Howard…
Fri 19 Feb 10 (01:52pm)
You'd have thought the four deaths would have been enough.
Garret is a greenie. Trees and lizards are far more important than human life. Surely you know that Tim!!!
Fri 19 Feb 10 (01:55pm)
Sat 20 Feb 10 (04:07pm)
Yeah, any green union man can handle a few deaths here and there, but SUB-STANDARD WORK? NO WAY! [sarc]
4 deaths, 100 house fires, dodgey work practices, up to 1000 potentially lethal roof spaces, now the whole program has been axed and yet still Garrett is a first class minister. Sounds like they don't set the bar very high in the ALP performance review.
I want to know what is going on out in Ballarat as well, Garrett got a heroes welcome from all reports, obviously he hasn't yet put one of his programs into action out that way yet.
Fri 19 Feb 10 (01:55pm)
The Government believes this change will make consumers more particular about the credentials of installers, and the quality of their work.
So Garrett & Co have finally worked out that people spend their own money more wisely than they spend other peoples money.....Canberra's Labor luvvies will be outraged at this blasphemy.
Fri 19 Feb 10 (02:00pm)
Garrett should just bite the bullet and resign, the whole thing has been a disaster.
Meanwhile in Adelaide Wong is still singing the same song about rising seas, "In South Australia between 25,200 and 43,000 residential buildings are at risk of flooding from 1.1m sea-level rise.
Their replacement value is estimated at up to $7.4 billion".[Advertiser 19/2/10 pg 7].
Guess the Government is still not listening to all the scandel that is breaking with the IPCC.
Fri 19 Feb 10 (02:13pm)
The objectives of the scheme was to create Australian jobs and reduce energy consumption. It has done neither. Vast numbers of houses now have ceilings filled with dangerous materials that will not act as insulation. Much of that material, certainly all the non-insulation, has come from overseas. Many of the installers appear to be non-Australians brought in as cheap unskilled labour.
Not only should Garrett be sacked, by so should his department head and the head of the program. That Garrett won't be sacked should have the media asking why - what was the deal that brought Garrett into the Labor Party.
Fri 19 Feb 10 (02:53pm)
Fri 19 Feb 10 (10:14pm)
Then there's the homes which didn't need insulation or more insulation, fine in a very cold winter for a couple of months, but useless in summer when the house holds the heat. How are they going to cool their homes now?
A quick dance around the floor doing the Kevin Rudd two step and a scheme that he had been defending previously has now been s**tcanned, because it is causing fires and has killed people. So why was he defending it? He should have acted IMMEDIATELY instead of shielding his inept minister, but this is what we expect from Rudd, no action, innefectual action or reluctantly taking action. And this joker bangs on about taking "quick and decisive action". Kevin Rudd, the ultimate windbag…
Fri 19 Feb 10 (03:04pm)
Sexual misconduct in the ceiling?
Fri 19 Feb 10 (03:05pm)
Fri 19 Feb 10 (05:10pm)
When I get that feeling
I need sexual ceiling
We need to work centrelink in, so you can
- collect your rebate
- collect your subsidy for the surgery you needed afterwards
- and apply for a TPI pension now that you're too horribly maimed to ever work again
all in one go! It's your one-stop grievous injury shop!
Fri 19 Feb 10 (03:26pm)
...and the Govt. bozo's couldn't even see the irony in this? Unbelievable.
Given it's Medicare, will they impose a gap?
Wouldn't it have been better to do it via the Tax system?
Fri 19 Feb 10 (03:31pm)
Fri 19 Feb 10 (06:24pm)
For God's sake, don't give the mongrels ideas.
The Insulation Scheme is smelling of "cover up" to me.
PM's spokesman says they ( Dept of PM & C) don't have a record of any advice to slow it down from Garret's department. (Shredder-Heiner)
Other concerns and advice from various departments and industry groups " Were not conveyed to the PM".....who are they kidding. This is our PM who micro-manages even the toilet breaks in his department.
The report on the risks from Minter Ellison (April 2009) was circulated to the PM's department. Did the micro-manager see it? Did he act on it? If not why not?
He knew all right but can't take the heat.
Fri 19 Feb 10 (03:34pm)
More information please about the alleged sexual misconduct with the batts.
Fri 19 Feb 10 (04:36pm)
Did Centrelink tell them to go shove it because they've just found about 10,000 people on the doorstep for assistance and are snowed under?
Did the Treasury tell them to shove it because they're snowed under and are having enough trouble sorting out the bills coming in?
Did the ATO, with their system for making payments tell them to shove it because they are too snowed under with ABN applications and sorting out the shonks?
What about the few years worth of insulation sitting in warehouses? The purchase of which we are paying interest on?
What about the genuine, long term businesses this will put under?
Congratulations Rudd and Garret, you have the monument we will remember you for.
4 dead, 87+ homes burnt, 40,000+ homes living in fear of turning a light on.
This would have to be the most extensive, most expensive cock up in Australian history.
Fri 19 Feb 10 (04:52pm)
Fri 19 Feb 10 (05:37pm)
I'd say the 2007 election was the biggest.
Fri 19 Feb 10 (07:48pm)
hmm interesting jane.
might be a good time of year to get creative with the tax return.
just jokes. of course.
Just had a friend say they have been waiting for bats to be installed. Supplier rang her today to say they will be installed on Tuesday but paperwork will show today. Bats were put in the house many years ago.
The rorts continue
Fri 19 Feb 10 (05:08pm)
"You'd have thought the four deaths would have been enough. "
I would have thought the first death and second house fire should have enough.

The Leon County Women, Infants and Children Supplemental Nutrition Program (WIC) will celebrate World Breastfeeding Week, from August 1 – 4, 2011, in Leon, Jefferson, Taylor, Wakulla and Madison counties.
This year's theme is, "Talk to Me: Breastfeeding--A 3-D Experience" and the slogan, "Breastfeeding Support: Stay Connected!," emphasizes how important it is for breastfeeding mothers to have a strong support network. Research shows that when breastfeeding mothers receive help from family, friends, employers and professionals like International board certified lactation consultants (IBCLCs), mothers get answers to their questions and solutions for their problems quickly. As a result, they are more satisfied with their breastfeeding experience.
The support a breastfeeding mother receives can come from several sources. In addition to receiving accurate, up-to-date evidenced-based, breastfeeding information from their WIC nutritionists, mothers are encouraged to seek information in a variety of ways, including online resources. Mothers may also always receive face-to-face breastfeeding support through trained lactation, peer counselors and weekly breastfeeding support group meetings from the WIC staff at their local county health department.
The celebration schedule is below. WIC staff and local community breastfeeding experts will be available to talk to mothers about breastfeeding issues. For additional information, please call the Leon County Health Department WIC and Nutrition Office, at 850-606-8300, and ask to speak to a WIC nutritionist.

MARIETTA - The aroma of homemade chili filled the fellowship hall at St. Marys Catholic Church in Marietta on Sunday.
"It's our second annual chili cook-off, and we had 35 entries - that's up from 25 last year," said Betsy Lang, president of the St. Marys Catholic Womens Club, which sponsored the event.
For the modest price of $5, participants were able to sample cups from all 35 pots of chili cooked up by individual parishioners.

"I didn't realize there were so many varieties of chili," said Matt Westfall who kept moving from serving table to serving table, stirring each pot of chili as he went.
He said the chilis were concocted from a host of unusual ingredients that included bacon and ham, chopped-up hot dog wieners, macaroni and vegetables, and white chili made with chicken.
Womens club member Janet Steinel, of Marietta, took third place in last year's competition.
"I entered the same recipe this year," she said. "It's a sweet chili - I use sugar, but also ground beef and two kinds of beans and tomatoes."
Diane Palmer, also from Marietta, made a sweet chili recipe, too, for Sunday's cook-off event.
"It's mild, but also kind of spicy - my own recipe," she said. "I just like to donate a pot every year."
Kyle Nay, of Logan, brought his family to the cook-off on Sunday.
"I've tried all 35 varieties - it's a world of flavors and cultural diversity," he said. "But I'm more of a traditional chili person. I like it a little spicy, too. So my son and I have picked three we really like."
Lang said the competition isn't anything too serious, with cash prizes of $50, $25 and $10.
"It's really more about the fellowship with all of the parishioners," she said.
Proceeds from last year's event - around $600 - helped with some renovation work at the church and rectory, Lang said.
"We haven't decided what this year's money will be used for," she added.
Father Mike Campbell admitted he didn't cook up any chili for this year's event.
"I didn't want to be blamed for anyone getting sick," he joked. "But this is really a good opportunity for our people to get together. We have four different masses each week, serving about 1,100 families. So this gives them a chance to get to know fellow parishioners they may not otherwise meet."

The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor was created in 1998 by The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Mark Krantz, Peter Kaminsky, Bob Kaminsky and Cappy McGarr to recognize the art of humorists who have had an impact on American society in ways
similar to the distinguished 19th century novelist and essayist best known as Mark Twain. Each year, the Mark Twain Prize is awarded to a different comedian. The 2014 Mark Twain Prize recipient is Jay Leno and the evening pays tribute to the humor and accomplishments of the comedy icon. Taped at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the special features a star-studded cast of Leno's friends and colleagues including top entertainers and comedians, Garth Brooks, Kristin Chenoweth, Kevin Eubanks, Jimmy Fallon, Chelsea Handler, Robert Klein, Al Madrigal, Seth Myers, Jerry Seinfeld, JB Smoove, Wanda Sykes and special appearances by Jamie Foxx and Betty White.
Jay Leno first appeared as a guest host on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson in 1977, became the exclusive guest host in 1987, and became main host in 1992. Leno has also gained an international following on the internet with his new creation, Jaylenosgarage.com, winning an Emmy Award and two additional nominations for Outstanding Special Class–Short-Format Nonfiction Programs. Along with a variety of books, voice-overs, and charitable work, Leno is known as a fantastic comedian and television personality.Tune into WETA TV26 & HD Sunday November 23 at 8pm for The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor 2014: Jay Leno.

You're invited! Join the celebration and prepare to laugh the night away as comedian Ellen DeGeneres is honored with the 2012 Mark Twain Prize at the Kennedy Center right here in Washington, DC. Begun in 1998, The Mark Twain Prize annually recognizes comedians who had had an impact on society in ways comparable to Mark Twain, the 19th century writer. The 90-minute special will pay tribute to her success not only as a comedian, but recognize her myriad of accomplishments as a pioneer in the television and entertainment business, as well as her humanitarian achievements. From taking a stand against bullying, to supporting residents of her hometown- New Orleans- affected by Hurricane Katrina, helping others and standing up for what is right is just as important to DeGeneres as making audiences laugh. Further, DeGeneres has paved the way for others and broke ground after both she and her character on the hit television series Ellen came out as a lesbian.
With big dreams and a lot of talent, DeGeneres began her career as an emcee (not before attempting a very varied assortment of other careers) at a local comedy club in New Orleans. She was soon discovered, and was well on her way to the top. Television shows, comedic appearances, and talk shows would follow (not to mention an array of philanthropic causes).
With her signature dance moves, genuine kindness, and hilarious antics, Ellen has grooved her way into the homes and hearts of the world. In what is sure to be a star-studded evening, fellow comedians, actors, and personalities will show their praise for the woman who has become a comedic and popular culture icon. Presenters include Kristin Chenoweth, Steve Harvey, Sean Hayes, Jimmy Kimmel, John Krasinski, John Leguizamo, Jane Lynch, Jason Mraz, Lily Tomlin and Loudon Wainwright III.
Join the celebration and watch the MARK TWAIN PRIZE: Ellen DeGeneres Tuesday, October 30 at 8:00pm on WETA TV26 and WETA HD.

Award for Linux Access to Governmental E-Mail in Czech Republic
According to an announcement by the European OSOR information service, a group of Czech companies and individuals has offered a roughly 3,200 euro award to develop platform-independent access to the mandatory "Data boxes" email service used by government agencies.
The Czech Republic officially introduced the Datove schranky (Data boxes) electronic message service for public administrations halfway through 2009. These public administrations should use the service to supply each other and citizens with news and documents about themselves in a secure way. According to the Open Source Observatory and Repository Europe (OSOR) platform of the European Commission, Czech firms are required to use the Datove schranky service as of November 1, 2009.
Data boxes usage also requires the XMLfiller plugin that can be downloaded free from the developer site. The plugin currently supports Windows up to Vista and as RPM for Linux and Mac OS X. However, Czech users and companies argue that the non-Windows versions gravitate toward Wine and are unsatisfactory. The plugin is also limited to 32-bit operating systems.
A group of 25 Czech companies and individuals, according to OSOR, has now offered prize money of 85,000 CZK (about $4,442 in current exchange) to open source projects to make the Data boxes into platform-independent implementations. Currently two of these projects, Libisds and Java ISDS are vying over software libraries in C and Java to develop user desktop applications. ISDS is short for Informacní systém datových schránek (Data boxes information system). OSOR also reports that a third open source project, Dsgui, is working on making Datove schranky access available on Maemo smartphones.

Food Fridays: At This Café, Satisfied Customers Wag Their Tails
SAN JUAN, The Philippines – Patty and Buddy Obag wanted to take one of their best friends out to dinner – their Chihuahua Skittles.
A furry friend, however, tends to limit dining-out options.
But in San Juan, which neighbors Manila, a café has opened that offers menu options for both two-legged and four-legged customers: Whole Pet Kitchen: Pet Deli & Bark-ery.
"It is our first time to try this restaurant," Mr. Obag said, as Skittles ate "Jack's lasagna" out of a bowl on the table. "It's a unique concept. We will revisit again."

He and his wife, managers of a business outsourcing process office, ordered lasagna and pork balls.
Chef and owner Giannina Gonzalez opened the 12-seat store on March 29, mostly for dogs and their owners.
Meals for cats can be ordered. But for now, to reduce potential hair-raising and hissing encounters among furry guests, only dogs get to eat inside. Ms. Gonzales is considering having a cats-only day.
The food options are free of preservatives, artificial colors and flavors, salt, and sugar, she says. The store is a bricks-and-mortar extension of her three-year-old online business.
"It's just like cooking for someone with allergies," Ms. Gonzalez says of how she approached creating pet-healthy dishes.
Skittles' choice of Jack's Lasagna appeared to be a hit. It is named after Ms. Gonzalez's four-year-old golden retriever who is usually at the café. Aside from the usual beef, cheese, and tomatoes found in regular lasagna, the Whole Pet Kitchen version is cooked with virgin coconut oil.
"I just wanted it to be something fun and easy to make that will appeal to the older and younger people, and, of course, be pet-themed, as well," Ms. Gonzalez says.
Bestsellers for pets include muffins, especially the banana oat, and liver-flavored ones, and biscuits (honey and turmeric).
Bestsellers for pet owners include citrus coolers (citrus juice and cucumber slices), Lalalasagna (layers of meat sauce, spinach, cheese and pasta), pork balls and Pickle Sammie, a sandwich with tangy homemade pickles.
Bestselling desserts for owners are bone-y éclair and double Choclit a la Moode Woofles (chocolate on a warm waffle topped with vanilla ice cream).
Small dogs can sit on the table. Larger ones can sit on couches or on the floor.
Ms. Gonzalez traces the store's concept by to her family's love for food and fondness for dogs.
She grew up in the house of her grandmother, who bred dozens of Samoyeds and Japanese Spitzes.
"They were all fed rice, chicken and vegetables on a daily basis," she said, explaining how she came to believe dogs should be fed unprocessed food instead of factory-made pellets sold at the supermarket.
She started experimenting with cooking for pets when her two Labradors became very sick.
One died from gastric disease, while the other eventually followed, experiencing depression and kidney problems. The veterinarian suggested she try cooking for the last one when it got sick.
Ms. Gonzalez has a background in food research and development. As part of her day job, she serves as chief operating officer of education at the Center for Asian Culinary Studies (CACS), a family-owned business she manages with her father, celebrity restaurateur Chef Gene Gonzalez, and brother, chef-instructor Gino Gonzalez.
The Gonzalezes own Cafe Ysabel, a restaurant in San Juan City.
In the early part of 2011, she experimented with her culinary skills by formulating dog and cat snacks recipes that were backed up by research.
She set up a Facebook page and tested her luck one weekend by giving out 50 free samples of cat and dog treats to random pet owners at Bonifacio High Street in Taguig.
"I would really go around places to give out my samples," she said.
The Whole Pet Kitchen started after she decided to give her veterinarian a dog cake as an early Christmas gift. A week later, Ms. Gonzalez received an unexpected phone call from a client of her veterinarian, whose dog had ended up eating the cake. The woman asked if she could order another one for her pet's birthday party.
"We sold our first cake before Christmas of 2011," she said. Eventually, the venture grew by word-of-mouth and social media outlets such as Facebook and Instagram.
Everything she sells can be eaten by humans. She taste tests all of her products herself.
"Definitely, we will expand," said Gonzalez of their future plans. "It's a fun concept," she said.

> working (it's an Intel nonstandard multicasting TFTP).
What is the benefit of a nonstandard, multicasting TFTP over a
"standard" TFTP in this situation? Are there likely to be very many
clients trying to TFTP the same file at the same time?
> The DHCP server passes off to the PXE server, and the PXE server
> responds (both with proxyDHCP and with Boot Server facilities). Then
> the client, more often than not, attempts an TFTP download.
Isn't that a function of the firmware (BIOS/EFI/etc) on the client?
Or is it the expectation that the client firmware isn't aware it is
using multicast and is simply given a multicast IP to use for the TFTP
server IP?
> I want to use MTFTP. I'm using multicasting Boot Server Discovery,
> but beyond that I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
> I've tried using the following as MTFTP servers:
> * atftpd
> * in.mtftpd (from Intel's PXE server)
> And the following as PXE servers:
> * pxe from kano.org.uk
> * pxe from Intel (with in.mtftpd included)
> I'm convinced that my troubles stem from the configuration of the

> kano.org.uk server.
What do you see on the wire from the client's MAC when you are doing
all this?

The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health said Thursday that its investigation into an industrial accident at Tesla Motors (TSLA)' Fremont factory is ongoing. On Wednesday, three workers were injured with burns when a low-pressure aluminum casting press malfunctioned. CEO Elon Musk visited the employees Wednesday evening at Valley Medical Center in San Jose.
"Cal-OSHA was back out there today," said the agency's spokesman, Peter Melton. "The machine hasn't been used since the accident, but we'll be clearing the use of that machine soon."
The agency's investigation is ongoing and could take up to six months. The agency will issue citations if it finds a violation.
According to records kept by the U.S. Department of Labor, Tesla's Fremont factory was fined $2,700 in September 2012 for a violation uncovered during an accident investigation. And in November 2011, a Tesla employee at the company's Palo Alto headquarters lost the tip of his finger when it was caught in a piece of equipment. In that case, Tesla was fined $5,400.
"We need to go over some procedures to make sure there isn't another accident" Melton said.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
Following the broad-based S&P 500's (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC ) four-day rally last week, many investors had written off today as perhaps the profit-taking day long before the market even opened for business. Thankfully for the optimists, economic data out of China gave bulls just what they needed to power the S&P 500 to its fifth-consecutive day of gains.
Specifically, giving U.S. markets a boost were China's export figures, which rose a more robust than expected 7.2% in August, all while inflation stayed well below the government's target. Both factors would contribute to the thought process that China's economy may be finding a floor after nearly two straight years of slowing growth. Furthermore, China's top officials have proclaimed confidence in China's ability to meet long-term growth targets ranging from 7.5% to 8%, lending hope that this pillar of the global economy may indeed be back on track.
With Syria news taking a breather for at least one day, the benchmark S&P 500 rose briskly by 16.54 points (1%) to close at 1,671.71.
Heralding the charge higher today is diversified electronics manufacturer Molex (UNKNOWN: MOLX.DL ) (UNKNOWN: MOLXA.DL ) , which jumped by a whopping 31.7% after agreeing to be purchased by privately held conglomerate Koch Industries for $7.2 billion. The overall deal values Molex at $38.50 per share, a 31% premium to Friday's closing price, but $0.10 lower than where it closed today. Both boards have agreed to the deal, but it will still be pending shareholder approval. With Molex missing the Street estimates over the past two quarters, I don't see why shareholders would disapprove of the instant 31% pop.
Beyond Molex, it was once again a day for the homebuilders to show off their gains. PulteGroup (NYSE: PHM ) and the nation's largest homebuilder, D.R. Horton (NYSE: DHI ) , moved higher by 7.5% and 6.5%, respectively, following rival Hovnanian's third-quarter report. Hovnanian has been one of the weakest links, if not the weakest, in the homebuilding industry over the past couple of years, so to see it reporting that average home selling prices are up and cancellation rates are down is a big boost to the remainder of the sector.
Outside of the biggest names in the sector like D.R. Horton and Lennar, which have the strongest balance sheets and some of the beefiest margins, I would still suggest treading cautiously around this sector, with the prospect that the Federal Reserve will potentially take its monthly bond-buying program off the table sooner rather than later. This action could cause interest rates to move even higher, which would be a negative for new home-buying activity.

Committed cast brings Sondheim-composed musical together
When: 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays-Thursdays; 8 p.m. Fridays; 3 and 8 p.m. Saturdays; 2 and 7 p.m. Sundays. Through April 28.
Where: Cygnet Theatre, 4040 Twiggs St., Old Town

Phone: (619) 337-1525
Online: cygnettheatre.com
Sure, John Wilkes Booth had a beef or two with Abraham Lincoln. But a song from the musical "Assassins" suggests the frustrated actor might also have shot the president "because of bad reviews."
So just to be clear: To the extent that this review of Cygnet Theatre's production comes off as complimentary, it's not (just) to keep on any potentially hair-trigger theater artist's good side.
In fact, it is a pretty terrific production — one whose committed cast brings all the piece's shake-your-head humor into bold and bristling relief, even if the Stephen Sondheim-composed musical ultimately makes less sense of its subject than one might hope.
If it's not clear from the song "The Ballad of Booth" that "Assassins" will be something other than a sober documentary probe of presidential assailants, that's evident to a playgoer before the show ever starts.
The set (designed by Ryan Grossheim with a visceral sense of tarnished glory) depicts a seedy carnival arcade anchored by a game that barks, "Shoot the prez — win a prize." And our nation's pathetic parade of those who've made attempts on presidents' lives line up to do just that.
There's Booth (in a wonderfully preening performance by Cygnet newcomer Braxton Molinaro, a real find), who serves as a kind of ringleader; Charles Guiteau, James Garfield's killer (played with loopy, irrepressible good cheer by a standout Geno Carr), and everyone from would-be Richard Nixon attacker Samuel Byck (dolorously funny Manny Fernandes, a crank in a Santa suit) to such faded figures as Giuseppe Zangara (an intense and menacing Jaycob Hunter), who missed Franklin D. Roosevelt and instead killed the mayor of Chicago.
And, of course — in a moment that brings a deserved chill to Cygnet artistic chief Sean Murray's assured (and long-delayed) production — Lee Harvey Oswald (an agonized, ultimately gullible Jacob Caltrider), who serves both as story fulcrum and a kind of validation for the ghosts of past assassins and those whose twisted visions are yet to come.
The musical's narrative unfolds in vignettes, looping like the Zapruder film — the 26.6-second home movie of the Kennedy assassination that is screened spookily here on Oswald's chest. The show can feel scattershot due to its multiple "narrators," including Caltrider as the Balladeer and the nicely huckster-ish Andy Collins as the Proprietor, plus Booth and even Guiteau at times.
But the one-act, 100-minute production benefits from beautifully textured renditions of Sondheim's underbelly-of-Americana score by music director-keyboardist Patrick Marion and his five band mates. There's also first-rate work from choreographer David Brannen, costumer Shirley Pierson, lighting designer Chris Rynne and sound ace Matt Lescault-Wood.
And for all the subversive humor by Sondheim and writer John Weidman, there's also at least a nod to the strength that pulls a people through assassination attempts (and other national calamities). Again, from "The Ballad of Booth":
Hurts a while, but soon the country's back where it belongs / And that's the truth.

Thus far, the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival has bestowed upon us, in no particular order, snoozing flesh-eaters (Eddie – The Sleepwalking Cannibal), young lesbians contending with monstrous first love (Jack and Diane), two friends contending against alcoholism and metaphysical horrors (Resolution), and a scholar who's driven to violent ends over a missing copy of a Charles Dickens novel (Nancy, Please). And those are just a few of the New York City festival's highlights up until this point, but one project sits above them all in terms of real-life importance.
Baseball in the Time of Cholera, directed by aid workers turned filmmakers David Darg and Bryn Mooser, tackles a crucial, call-to-arms subject in the limited span of 27 minutes, but every second counts. The documentary short follows young Joseph Avyns, a kid living in Port au Prince, Haiti, who loves playing baseball and dreams of making it into the MLB, but there's one major roadblack standing in between him and those goals: His home turf is being ravaged by the disease known as cholera, a deadly ailment that has already claimed the lives of over 7,000 Haitian victims. Concurrently, a lawyer named Mario Joseph is working hard to make the United States take responsibility for allowing the disease to enter Haiti via unsanitary Nepalese soldiers, and, by the film's end, the worlds of Joseph and Mario intersect in the wake of heartbreaking tragedy.
Riding alongside Darg and Mooser on their mission to raise worldwide awareness about this devastating issue is executive producer Olivia Wilde (TRON: Legacy, Cowboys & Aliens), the prolific Hollywood scene-stealer who's been actively contributing aid to Haiti's less fortunate since 2009. Together, the three filmmakers hope that Baseball in the Time of Cholera (which will begin a limited theatrical run in Los Angeles on May 4th, at the Laemmle's NoHo 7 theater) reaches as broad an audience as possible with its theme of America's pastime giving youngsters like Joseph fuel for optimism amidst cholera's overwhelming impact.
Complex had a chance to sit down with Wilde, Darg, and Mooser over the weekend to discuss Baseball in the Time of Choleraand the magnitude of its messages.
Interview by Matt Barone (@MBarone)
Follow @ComplexPopCult
What really struck me about Baseball in the Time of Cholera was just how much of myself at that young age I saw in Joseph and his love for baseball; by putting such a relatable face to this bigger issue of what's going on in Haiti, it really put things into perspective. Was that your intention?
Bryn Mooser: I'm so glad you felt that, because as filmmakers we wanted to capture that. I think that so many times there are these big numbers thrown out: 500,000 people have been sickened by Cholera, which is 5% of the population of Haiti, and 7,030 people have died of cholera in Haiti. And these numbers don't really mean anything until you really start to, like you did, have a connection with Joseph.
So, for us, we all met Joseph almost two years ago, and he's been like a little brother to all of us. We were there every step of the way, from getting to know his mother really well to going to Toronto when he got to throw out the first pitch at the Blue Jays game, and then to dealing with the death of his mother, helping the family arrange from a coffin to finding a place to bury her. So that affected us; we've been dealing with cholera for the last year-and-a-half, and it wasn't until our little brother lost his mom, and seeing the pain—and us having that loss, as well, which was small compared to his loss-that it really became a call-to-action.
So I'm glad you felt that, because he's a special kid—he's a special kid for us, and this film is really about making sure that his story isn't lost.
Were you guys working on the film already when you'd met him, or did meeting completely inspire you to make it?
David Darg: We pretty much started that little league baseball team ourselves, and we'd started to document the evolution of the team—they're street children from Port au Prince. In and of itself, that's a good story about how these kids are learning social skills and learning how to get along with each other through baseball, so we'd documented that throughout the course of a year, almost. In parallel, Bryn and I are full-time aid workers, so we had been in and amongst cholera, and documenting that on behalf of our organizations.
So we had all of this incredible footage of cholera outbreak, and all of this footage of the baseball team. Then, when Joseph's mom died, it hit us so hard that we realized we had to shift the focus of the film to tell the bigger story, the more important story of cholera in Haiti. We were fortunate that we had all the footage of cholera outbreak and of the little league team, so that was how we were able to blend it all together.
Olivia, how'd you get involved with the film?
Olivia Wilde: I knew that these guys were trying to make a film about the baseball team that they'd put together, so right when the little league project was born, I said, "Whatever you guys do with this, I want to be a part of it." As a producer, you just want to attach yourself to filmmakers who are doing interesting, valuable, and important work. We made a film together last year, called Sun City Picture House, and I really enjoyed the process of getting the word out on that film; this film is different and equally beautiful, so I came on as a producer and I was thrilled to see that this film is a call-to-action.
It's much more than just a story—it's really a movement. It really should inspire people to get together and put pressure on the U.N., and I think that as a producer the most important thing you can do is get the filmmakers whatever it is they need to tell the story. That's what I wanted to do, and I've been lucky enough to do it twice with these guys, now.

Bruise On The Sky 4:12 16. Ghost Dog 3:41 17. Played Out (2013 Version feat. 3:42 Rumer) Release Notes: -------- So here it is - the story so far. A singer/songwriter lauded by his peers and cited by such publications as the NME as sufficiently important as to being required to be taught in schools. However the NME heyday as as important indicators of talent and importance are long gone; it now being staffed by stringers and a passionless ner do wells. We shall see for ourselves The album is in chronological order and takes the listener on a trip that illustrates BruntnellÆs development as a songwriter as well as an arranger and performer. The early stuff from æCannibalÆ and æCamelot and SmithereensÆ is hard to date and hard to classify although the cracked vocal is mixed low but still to the fore. The arrangement on æ25 ReasonsÆ owes much to Jack NietzcheÆs work for the Buffalo Springfield with its dreamy and somnambulant quality. The seeds had been sown. The Rykodisc contributions from æNormal for BridgewaterÆ move Bruntnell forward, positing the theory that although a songwriter he is also a singer and band leader carving out big sounds fit for arenas. æShot from a SpringÆ has all the pedigree of a show stopper and indeed when performed with a full band can bring the house down as the guitars drift and yearn through the melodies. The Loose years begin with BruntnellÆs very own æPowderfingerÆ - æHere Come the SwellsÆ a swaggering slice of American rock anglicised by the understated vocal delivery yet still a towering, melancholy masterpiece with its cushion of guitars and punchy harmonies. These are all deeply commercial songs that hold onto their honesty and truth through careful production and a great sense artistry. The joy to be had listening to the Bruntnell/ James WalbourneÆs acoustic duet of æBy The Time My Head Gets To PhoenixÆ does not diminish - two guys , guitars, great song and sumptuous vocals. WhatÆs not to like?? By the time we reach the tracks from the album Ghost in a Spitfire there is a sense of both artist and label reaching for the commercial breakthrough. These are massive songs and designed to be heard by the masses. Then frustration or restlessness leads to a left turn which produces the wonderful and shapeshifting songs from æPeter and a Murder of CrowsÆ - æCold Water SwimmerÆ and æDomesticoÆ . The songs have a playfulness and heft that exists within the swirling drones and Traffic like pastoralism. Still the cracked clear vocals and excellent production but a road less travelled, the harmonium, the cellos and the hushed drums belying the beauty and bathos. Stunning stuff. æBlack Mountain UFOÆ provides the penultimate tracks - breezy Americana with a hint of English psychedelia although æGhost DogÆ owes as much to YoungÆs æSouthern ManÆ. We finish with the bid for a hit - an old track æPlayed OutÆ with added Rumer. ItÆs wonderful and her vocal fits like a glove . Unnecessary but a great collaboration and this reviewer for one hope it does the trick. And what would that trick be? Sufficient commercial success to enable Bruntnell to continue writing and performing without worrying about the next quid so he can add to his exquisite back catalogue or massive public acceptance leading to untold wealth and stadium tours and celebrity tie ins? I hope the former but if heÆs after the latter then he deserves that too. This is is a near perfect album spoilt only by a lack of certain other songs and its title. It should have been called be æAn introductionÆ or æ The songs you should know by nowÆ but what do I know. Top work!

Can be used as an inexpensive replacement for ShelterLogic 10 x 20 6 Leg Carport. It is not an exact fit, but within 2 inches (too large) on the width and just right the length. Because it does not have side apron it fits within the perimeter frame poles. Best option to secure is heavy ball elastic straps found at swap meets at 10 for $2.50.

Can't find a better tarp, this size or quality and locally, for the priceThere is an obnoxious seam running long ways down the middle.The first one had to be exchanged because it split down that seam as we opened it out for the first time...pain cause its a 70 mile round trip.Second one went well until it split down the middle in the wind and the thickness had disappeared and started disintegrating.It had lasted almost 11 mos out in the Central Indiana weather covering my sailboat.I would recommend only if you need short term and get it on sale.

Comments about HFT 11 ft. 4 in. x 18 ft. 6 in. Silver/Heavy Duty Reflective All Purpose/Weather Resistant Tarp:
I use this product for several different applications such as a temporary wall inside a barn as well as outdoors sometimes to cover projects that are left in the open. It is easy to affix and secure. Even when exposed to the sun day after day they hold up for a very reasonable amount of time. I recommend it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Picked up one last year for my 17' G3 - Just bought a new and larger G3 so going to add another one of these to cover up the boat with and tie them together at the grommets and use good old duct tape as well. If two last me even one season, beats the hell out of paying $400 for a custom cover for the boat that might last 4 or 5 years out in the weather.Nice tarp!

Beats a $150 boat cover
By Les
from North Syracuse, NY
Several months in - it's still holding up well, and the snow just slides off it (we live in Syracuse NY). No more $150 boat covers from the outdoors store that barely last two seasons. I don't expect these to last forever - but for $22... it's a better value.

Does He allow it, permit it, ordain it, cause it and are those just different ways of saying the same thing. Is it a question of semantics? This side of Heaven, can we know?
Yesterday, she sent me a sermon given by John Piper called, The Supremecy of Christ in Suffering . You can find it here...http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/Sermons/ByDate/2010/4566/
It s an excellent resource on the topic of suffering in the lives of Believers.
And, this morning, I have the benefit of applying what I learned earlier as I sit in a courtroom, taking care of a speeding ticket, and enduring the over zealous application of cologne and perfume by my fellow defendants.
Perhaps it's not exactly the kind of suffering Piper was talking about, but it's making me feel better all the same.
