Council scores major victory in fraud campaignImage: Gavel via Shutterstock
Hambleton District Council has scored a major victory in its fight against benefit fraud.
An investigation into the finances of a Northallerton man convicted last year of illegally obtaining benefits of almost £50,000 revealed he had benefited from crime to the tune of over £291,000.
Last month, Teesside Crown Court was told that Andrew Cason had £88,700 in 'realisable assets' and made a confiscation order under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
The court ordered that £49,900 of that be paid to the council as compensation for the benefits the crook had unlawfully claimed.
The remainder will be divided between the Home Office, the council and the courts Service to fund the prevention, detection and investigation of crime in the community.
"This is a great victory for the council – and for our fight against benefit fraud," said council leader councillor Mark Robson.
"It endorses our stance that we will not tolerate people who take money away from people who really need it. No matter what their age or circumstances we will not tolerate it – people cannot abuse the system.
"Our pursuit of this man has revealed far greater profits from crime – and as a result not only have we as a council recovered a large sum of money but the district will also benefit from a pot of money to help fight this crime."
The council's prosecution of Cason for benefit fraud in June 2013 led to a confiscation investigation.
Cason, 40, of Brompton had pleaded guilty to obtaining almost £50,000 in benefits he was not entitled to and received 18 months imprisonment.
The criminal investigation uncovered evidence of undeclared bank accounts holding over £80,000 belonging to the thief, with the money in Cason's bank accounts and his other assets restrained pending the outcome of the Proceeds of Crime Act confiscation investigation.
Investigators established that he had received a considerable amount of income through his accounts from an unidentified source.
Cason must pay the confiscation order amount within 60 days of the court hearing, with a two-year prison sentence set if he defaults on this payment.

Colorado was lucky enough to be able to host the "No Headliner" tour with Off With Their Heads, Dead To Me and Riverboat Gamblers for two nights with one of our most exciting local punk bands, St. Fall Apart, getting to tag along for both nights. If you didn't make it, you really missed out on some great music and some great people.
The first night was at the Marquis on Saturday July 16th and was full of high-octane music and complete drunken debauchery. This is probably the third show in a row that Denver really seemed to represent and show their support for punk rock. The Marquis was near a packed house and sweat dripping from the ceiling. A true punk show. The second night which was Sunday July 17th was less sparsely populated, but was still a fun show. Can't expect a whole heck of a lot in Colorado Springs on a Sunday night. All in all, was really fun and we just mixed the pictures up for your viewing pleasure.

Memristor memory could be used in wearable electronics
Nov 3, 2011 1 comment
Researchers in South Korea are the first to make a bendable digital memory that can store data without constant power. Such memories could find applications in electronic paper for more comfortable reading and in wearable computers, which could be used in medical monitoring and treatment.
A memristor "remembers" the amount of charge that has flowed through it, with the information being stored in terms of the device's resistance. While the concept of the memristor was first proposed in 1971, it was not until 2008 that the first practical device was made.
Since then, several research groups have explored the development of flexible memories by placing memristors in cross-point configurations. Two arrays of parallel metal lines are placed one on top of the other in a grid; where the lines cross, they are connected with a memristor. By running current along the two wires that cross a particular memristor, the researchers can – in theory – read, write or erase information encoded in its resistive state.
Enriched with oxygen
Keon Jae Lee of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and colleagues made their memristors from amorphous titanium dioxide with aluminium electrodes at the top and bottom. The team deposited titanium dioxide in atom-thick layers between the electrodes, leaving the interface at the top electrode enriched with extra oxygen ions because of oxygen's affinity for aluminium.
When a negative voltage is applied to the top electrode, negative ions are pushed into the titanium dioxide, thus reducing the material's electrical resistance. This low-resistivity state is the equivalent of a binary "1", and it endures for at least 2.7 hours even when the voltage is switched off.
Switching the polarity of the electrodes causes the positive top electrode to draw the oxygen back out. This returns the memristor to the high-resistance "0" state. The state of the memristor can be read-out by applying a small, –0.5 V, read voltage and then measuring the current. The current that runs through the memristor in its low-resistance state is 50 times higher than if it ran through a high-resistance memristor.
Simple, but flawed
Unfortunately, this simple set-up has a major flaw. A read current that is meant to probe a high-resistance memristor would instead prefer to travel through its lower-resistance neighbours – and it can. This makes the resistance of the read memristor look smaller than it really is. As long as these "sneak paths" exist, the memory cannot be accurately read, written or erased, says KAIST's Seungjun Kim. To cut off the sneak paths, the team paired each memristor with a flexible silicon transistor, which prevents current from flowing through the memristor unless it is selected for the operation.
The team made arrays of 64 memristor–transistor bits, eight to a side on a flexible plastic base. To demonstrate the memory's pliability, the team gradually bent it from a curvature radius of 28.6 mm to 8.4 mm. The researchers measured the high- and low-resistive states along the way, reporting no significant change to either state. To test the material for fatigue, the team flexed an array on a 2.8 cm-long piece of plastic so that its edges were 1.8 cm apart. The team bent and relaxed the memory 1000 times, observing little alteration in performance.
"Crucial step"
Wei Lu at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, who was not involved in the research, calls the work a "crucial step" towards flexible memory devices because it makes the jump from single cells to small arrays. However, he points out that the team only tested 2 × 2 subsets of their 8 × 8 arrays, and that the researchers will need to prove the technology in larger arrays to show that it can be scaled up. He also notes that the 64-bit memory covers a "whopping" square centimetre. "For comparison, modern solid-state memories are more than 100 million times denser," he says.
The team is already investigating options for more compact arrays, combining a diode and unipolar resistor for each bit of its next flexible memory. In addition to taking up about a third less space than memristor–transistor bits, Lee suspects these will be easier to mass produce.
The work is described in Nano Letters.

Authentic Living – Here or Hel?
Tolle, a Norse Goddess, and Your Entrepreneurial Life
An entrepreneurial friend of mine who practices authentic living and 'The Presence Process' as taught by Michael Brown in his book of the same name, recently summed up her life during a phone conversation.
"I can be here, or I can be in hell," she told me.
Here meaning being in the presence and power of NOW. Hell meaning hounded by fear in any of its forms when our mind focuses on past or future worries. We laughed loud and long as our hearts took in the deep truth in her statement.
In the ups and downs of daily entrepreneurship, authentic living can be a challenge. We find ourselves here and in hell on a regular basis. One isn't good or bad. They are the 'what is' as the moments of the day unfold.
- A new client unexpectedly decides to postpone working with us.
- A unexpected referral shows up and can't wait to start working with us.
- A payment is long overdue.
- A long-term client sends us a thank-you gift for our excellent customer service.
- Our web site contact form stops working for no apparent reason.
- The new software we need to learn turns out to be easy to learn.
Whether the events of our day APPEAR good or bad, we can be here or in hell with them. For example (click image to enlarge):
Postscript: Shortly after the phone conversation, I learned of an ancient Norse Goddess of the Underworld named Hel. She was (among other roles) a goddess of transformation. She welcomed the dead, but also assisted those who were stuck, troubled, or in transition, who traveled to visit her in her underworld home. They came for messages and signs related to what they needed to release, take in, or claim to move on to their next role back in the reality of life on earth. Lends new meaning to the pejorative, 'Go to Hel." (smile)
Until next time,

Jana, what a helpful description of entrepreneurial life and how to respond to the best and the (perceived) worse of it. I think you've created the original handy chart on staying present – at least, I have never seen anything like it before – thank you!
Jana JopsonMay 16, 2013
Appreciate your thoughts, Andrea! Putting this into a chart helped me think through the options myself.
DorothyMay 16, 2013
Jana, I enjoyed this post. Being mindful and living in the present are my mantras for this new year. I'm going to do a little research on Hel! I also want you to know how much I enjoyed your e-book (when I signed up for your mailing list). I'm generally a little skeptical of these things, but I got a lot out of yours! Thank you!
Jana JopsonMay 16, 2013
Dorothy, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I'm glad to know this topic resonated with you – I think it does for most entrepreneurs who bring their work to the world through the lens of spirituality. Re: the "report" — I've downloaded many free opt-in gifts that lived up to my skepticism (smile), so creating something I knew could be of value was important to me. I greatly appreciate your confirmation.
Kim LoftisMay 16, 2013
I love it, Jana! How perfect that I dropped by today, as this was the perfect reminder that I needed in this moment! 🙂 And I, too, am going to do some research on Hel! She definitely sounds like someone I want to make friends with! Thanks as always for your insights.
Jana JopsonMay 16, 2013
Thank you, Kim. With the 'cult of speed' that seems to predominate in our part of the world, reminders are essential. That's why I have a small bulletin board on the wall just above my monitor filled with them (I rotate bits and pieces from various juicy sources). Enjoy researching Goddess Hel!

I sympathise with the reporter as the automatic conversion of values assigned to DateField and DateTimeField to the underlying type would certainly reduce the number of bugs in our codebase.
Unfortunately that's a more general issue, as all the fields bundled with Django don't perform any validation or conversion on assignment (look at BooleanField and IntegerField for a simple example). The validation and conversion is performed only on saving and loading data from database. Changing only the behavior of DateField and DateTimeField would introduce an inconsistency and changing the behavior of all fields would break a lot of code in the wild.
I'm setting this ticket to design decision needed as this is a nice feature proposal, but it introduces a major backwards incompatibility.

comment:4 Changed 5 years ago by aaugustin
- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from new to closed
Auto-"conversion" of values paves the way for silent data corruption, that isn't a good idea. (I actually think Django is a bit laxist in its to_python methods.) Strict type checking isn't good either — Python favors duck typing.
Since DateField has historically accepted datetimes (and DateTimeField accepted dates), there's not much we can do without breaking backwards compatibility.
zuber is right: an isolated change to DateField isn't the way to go. If you want to work on this, please send a sufficiently detailed proposal to django-developers, summarizing the general problem and addressing backwards compatibility.

PARKERSBURG - The Parkersburg Actors Guild will present the musical comedy "Hairspray" in April and May at the Guild Playhouse at Eighth and Market streets in downtown Parkersburg.
The show will be 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday, April 27 and 28 and May 4 and at 2:30 p.m. on April 29 and May 5.
Musical tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for seniors and students. Tickets are available online at www.actorsguildonline.org.
Guild officials said the opening night of "Hairspray" Friday had already sold out coming into the opening weekend and the Saturday show looked like it also might sell out prior to the performance. The show will continue for two more weekends, although the May 5 show has been moved forward from its normal 8 p.m. showtime to 2:30 p.m. on that day to avoid clashing with any proms in the area.
Directed by Guild veteran Veronica Fields, "Hairspray" takes the audience to 1960s Baltimore, where the '50's are out and change is in the air. Loveable plus-size heroine Tracy Turnblad has a passion for dancing and wins a spot on the local TV dance program, "The Corny Collins Show."
Overnight she finds herself transformed from outsider to teen celebrity. Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program's reigning princess, integrate the television show and find true love without mussing her hair?
For some cast members, performing in "Hairspray" is a longtime goal and a dream come true.
R.J. Lowe plays Edna Turnblad, Tracy's mother. In the original 1988 "Hairspray" movie, Tracy's mother was played by male actor Divine and that tradition has continued through the Broadway stage shows and the 2007 movie remake, which featured John Travolta in the mother's role.
"The role is always played by a man, in keeping with the spirit of the original," Lowe said.
"This has been a dream role of mine since the show opened in 2002. For a decade, I've been champing at the bit to play this role. It's a fun role and I knew I'd have a lot of fun doing it," he said.
Callie Tanner plays Tracy, something she has wanted to do since she saw the stage show at age 11. Tanner has been active in drama at Parkersburg South High School and at other local venues like the Smoot Theatre and the Guild Builders youth theater program, but this is her largest role to date.
"I've always been the character role, I've never been the lead" prior to "Hairspray," Tanner said. "It's been difficult but I'm so excited... The dancing is my favorite part of the show," she said, adding the cast put many hours of practice into mastering the dances which are a key component of the production.
The object of Tracy's interest and the lead teen dancer is Link Larkin, played by Jeremiah Watkins.
Watkins has appeared on the Guild stage during main productions and the Guild Builders, along with high school drama programs. He said he is nervous about the prominence of his current role but is looking forward to the production. Watkins said he also has looked forward to appearing in the play, having wanted to play Link since he saw the 2007 movie for the first time.

Cañete is a province located in southern Lima Region, Peru. It is bordered by the Lima Province on the north, the Ica Region on the south, the Huarochirí and Yauyos provinces on the east, and the Pacific Ocean on the west. Its capital is the town of San Vicente de Cañete. Cañete is the Capital of the Afro-Peruvian Folklore.
The weather of the province's coastal area has two well-defined seasons:
- The sunny season, with temperatures of around 30°C (86.4°F), during daytime.
- The "sunless" season (May-December), during which the sun is covered by clouds. The extreme humidity causes a sensation of cold during this season, even if the temperature never gets lower than 11°C (41.8°F).
Political division
The province is divided into sixteen districts (Spanish: distritos, singular: distrito):
- Asia
- Calango
- Cerro Azul
- Chilca
- Coayllo
- Imperial
- Lunahuaná
- Mala
- Nuevo Imperial
- Pacarán
- Quilmaná
- San Antonio
- San Luis
- San Vicente de Cañete
- Santa Cruz de Flores
- Zúñiga
The coast of Cañete, with beaches such as Asia, Chilca, Puerto Viejo, León Dormido,Costa del Campo , Totoritas, Chocaya, Chepeconde, Puerto Fiel, Gallardo and Cerro Azul, is one of the province's main touristic attractions. The pleasant valley of Lunahuaná, a paradise for adventure sports lovers, is just half an hour from San Vicente de Cañete. The main attraction is the fast running Cañete River, which features rapids up to Class IV. Each year, the valley hosts a festival involving rafting, trekking, gliding, mountain biking and fishing competitions. There are a few annual festivals in Cañete. The most important ones are Festival of Black Art in late August and Adventure Sports Festival in Lunahuaná, held in February.

DOJ Wants More Info On DigitalGlobe and GeoEye Hookup
By Saabira Chaudhuri
The U.S. Department of Justice asked DigitalGlobe and its target GeoEye for more information on their proposed satellite combination.
DigitalGlobe, a satellite-imagery company, said in a release today the DOJ's questions are related to anti-trust matters. The deal also needs approval from the Federal Communications Commission and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
DigitalGlobe said it is cooperating with the DOJ and it continues to expect to close the transaction in the fourth quarter of this year or the first quarter of next year.
In July, DigitalGlobe reached a deal to acquire fellow satellite-imagery company GeoEye for about $450 million, turning the tables after GeoEye made public a bid for DigitalGlobe in May. DigitalGlobe rejected that $805 million offer, but analysts thought a tie up would help both with concerns about funding.
Like other companies catering to the U.S. government, both DigitalGlobe and GeoEye have grappled with government spending cuts that have raised concerns about sales prospects.
The two companies in August 2010 got 10-year contracts worth a combined $7.35 billion to fulfill U.S. intelligence needs, although federal spending cutbacks have raised concerns across the industry about sales prospects in the years ahead.
GeoEye's shares had plunged in June following cuts to its federal contracts which had led to concerns about its funding.
GeoEye was down 2.1% to $27.37 in recent trading while DigitalGlobe slipped 2.4% to $21.21.

India A registered a six-wicket win over Australia National Performance Squad in their third league game of the Quadrangular One-day series in Australia. Manan Vohra (88) and Ambati Rayudu (70*) helped the side overhaul the target comfortably after the Mohit Sharma-led attack restricted NPS to 217.
Earlier, Mohit gave India A their first breakthrough after NPS opted to bat first at the Gardens Oval in Darwin. The medium-pacer sent back opener Matthew Short with 50 runs on the board while Karn Sharma followed up with the wicket of Cameron Bancroft.
The Indian seamers struck at regular intervals to deny the opposition substantial partnerships. With the exception of Travis Head, who scored a half-century, the rest of the batsmen returned without making any sizeable contribution.
Mohit claimed four wickets while Dhawal Kulkarni, Rishi Dhawan and Karn Sharma picked a wicket each. Akshar Patel chipped in with two middle-order wickets to hold the home team to 217 for nine.
Chasing the total, the tourists lost captain Robin Uthappa early in the innings. Manish Pandey and Manoj Tiwary too followed him back leaving India A 88 for three. But, Vohra anchored the innings to take India A to 196 before being sent back by Jason Behrendorff. He was involved in a 108-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Rayudu, who then helped the team attain the target with Sanju Samson.
Brief scores: Aus. NPS 217/9 in 50 overs (T Head 56, M Sharma 4/48) lost to India A 218/4 in 38 overs (M Vohra 88, A Rayudu 70*) by 6 wickets.

England announce squad for Third Test
Jos Buttler to replace Matt Prior; wicketkeeper-batsman set to make Test debut
England have announced their 13-member squad for the third Test against India at Rose Bowl, Southampton. The one big change in the squad is that of Jos Buttler who is all set to make his Test debut replacing injured Matt Prior.
Prior who has had a terrible run so far in the series had decided to stand down from Test cricket for the rest of the summer due to injury.
England look at Buttler as an exciting prospect who has made notable contributions in the shorter format of the game. National selector James Whitaker said, "Jos Buttler comes into the squad following some very exciting limited-overs performances for England and a good record with Lancashire this season."
Simon Kerrigan, the Lancashire spinner, has been left out but the squad is otherwise unchanged from the second Test. Also, Alastair Cook has received unanimous backing from the team and the selectors to continue as captain for the third Test which starts on Sunday.
England squad (3rd Test) : Alastair Cook (Capt), Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Gary Ballance, Ian Bell, Stuart Broad, Jos Buttler, Chris Jordan, Liam Plunkett, Sam Robson, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes.

ECB's Weidmann Warns Germany on Need to Reform
Germany's top central banker issued a stark warning to Germany's government Wednesday: either reform or risk falling behind.
Speaking at a Deutsche Bundesbank event in Duesseldorf just days after national elections in Europe's largest economy, Jens Weidmann, president of the German central bank, painted a sobering picture of the challenges Germany faces.
No one sees Germany as "the sick man of Europe" anymore, Mr. Weidmann said, referencing a common phrased used to describe Germany in the late 1990s when its economy was weak.
"But an economic head start can quickly be lost," he added.
German voters handed Chancellor Angela Merkel and her conservative party a resounding victory on Sunday, but left them just shy of a majority in the lower house of the parliament. Her current center-right coalition partner, the Free Democratic Party failed to cross the 5% threshold needed to enter the parliament.
As a result, Ms. Merkel may now need to spend months negotiating with parties with conflicting views on taxes and social issues in order to form a government. The Social Democrats, one likely partner, wants to raise taxes on the wealthy to pay for more investment and social programs, and implement a nationwide minimum wage.
In a wide ranging speech, Mr. Weidmann said Germany would be challenged by globalization, energy policy shifts, and an aging society. In particular, Mr. Weidmann, who also sits on the European Central Bank's Governing Council, singled out Germany's debt, which at 80% of nominal gross domestic product, is "very high."
He also called for targeted investments in infrastructure and education to help boost economic growth, but warned that any new investment shouldn't boost Germany's national debt. He also warned that implementing a minimum wage could have negative consequences for employment.
Ultimately as other economies implement reforms and slash public budgets to better compete on the global stage, Germany cannot afford to sit still, especially as its society ages. But he added that these challenges can be overcome through reforms. In particular, he urged Germany to make more use of its older and female workers, and called for a systematic approach for attracting skilled workers to Germany.
"The demographic pressures and economic catch-up process in other economies may lead to a gradual erosion of the competitiveness of the German economy," he said in his speech.

Those of you familiar with Tim Ferriss may already know about this, but if not, here's something for all the "gurly men" out there looking to "pump up."
And for the people out there who just want to lose weight without exercising ("double the beef," I hope you're reading this), I may have found exactly what you're looking for.

If I ever gained 34 pounds of muscle in 4 weeks I'd look like claymation on steriods.

I'd say more like the "Fitness Made Simple" ads (featuring Fitness Celebrity John Basedow).

Colorado Springs, Colo. (AP) Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden says it's unfair that executives of failed corporations are paid millions of dollars while their employees lose their pensions.
Biden campaigned in Colorado for a second day Wednesday, telling a crowd in Colorado Springs that he and Barack Obama will attack corporate greed if they're elected.
Fire marshals had to turn some people away from Biden's speech at a high school in a heavily republican area.
Biden spoke in Greeley and the Denver suburb of Commerce City on Tuesday. He plans another stop Wednesday in Pueblo, a Democratic stronghold south of Colorado Springs.

Turning Out of Shihonage

Re: Re: Re: Turning Out of Shihonage
Michael Fooks (Aristeia)
I'm gonna have to disagree with that. I firmly believe you should NEVER tell uke to "just take the ukemi". Uke is never wrong, they have two simple jobs, attack, and recover.
It all boils down to this - never tell uke "just fall like this" without explaining to them (or showing them) why that is the best and safest thing to do. If you can't figure out how to do that, then you need to be dealing with whatever movement they're giving you.
Why on earth not. It had better be. Ikkyo, irimi nage, shiho nage. These are the first techniques we learn.
The point being that these are the techniques many people are most likely to default to in an actual combat situation. It won't be a matter of which technique you are considering, it will be a matter of which technique you find yourself in the middle of. So they'd better be useful. I think shiho is good in this instance because a) It is so easy to make it so much nastier than it is in the dojo (e.g. breaking the arm over the shoulder), b)it's easy to flow from shiho into other techniques if uke isn't moving as you'd hoped (irimi, juji, repo....)
Sorry to cut up your post a bit: firstly, Ukemi is about protecting yourself. Frankly, if a beginner spins out in a way that gives you the choice of letting them go or injuring them, you're going to have to let them go and neither of you gains anything.
Secondly, it's the responsibility of the teacher to explain how to take the ukemi to beginners and to show it to them. Uke is quite often wrong- when they pull against you in such a way that can lead to their injury. Idealistically, the most you should instruct a beginner yourself is to follow the technique.
Thirdly, Shihonage is a potentially lethal technique if it works well. If it does not, then you may well be caught out with your back to your attacker mid turn. They're both good reasons to prefer Ikkyo. Also, if you've developed good technique you don't need to "make it so much nastier than it is in the dojo" and if that's your focus you're going to end up with technique that's deficient where it matters, i.e. in actually taking an attackers balance.

Vt. senators push for Saturday mailStaff Report | February 13,2013Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., were part of a group of U.S. senators to introduce a bill Wednesday to preserve Saturday mail delivery.
The measure may provide the Postal Service with new options to make money by permitting services such as notarizing documents, issuing hunting and fishing licenses, and allowing beer and wine shipments, Sanders said.
The legislation, which was simultaneously introduced in the U.S. House by Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., would also prevent mail-sorting centers and rural post offices from shutting down.
A commission of successful small business and labor representatives would be created to recommend other directions the U.S. Postal Service could pursue to remain relevant in an age of electronic mail.
Sanders said the Senate bill also seeks to repeal a 2006 law that mandated the post office pre-fund 75 years of future health care benefits for retirees over 10 years.MORE IN This Just InCASTLETON - Head coach Eric Ramey has announced that the Castleton softball team will once again...

SEMA 2012: Day 1 | Presented by MegaSpeed
Las Vegas Convention Center
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
October 30th, 2012
The Specialty Equipment Market Association or better known as SEMA show kicked off as always at the massive Las Vegas Convention Center in Sin City. Crowds in the near million flock each and every year to catch the latest trends, products, services, and buzz about the world of all things automotive related. The event is held during one week and as such, we will be bringing updates from each day from everything ranging from hot cars, booths, and even the beautiful promotional models for which any onlooker can appreciate.
As always, outside the convention center are an assortment of unique rides like this slammed Lexus LS from Platinum VIP.
This is not your average Mercedes-Benz people mover especially when it's sitting flush on a set of massive Forgestar wheels and rocking an AMG-inspired aero kit.
If off-roading is your thing, there are plenty of trucks to drool over like this Ford finished in a brushed-look vinyl wrap.
Got air ride? This Lexus GS was completely dumped and takes the whole VIP-tuning theme to another level.
Awesome comes in all forms and shapes at SEMA like these assortment of minimalist motorcycles riding on AVON tires.
A rare sight at any event is this Mosler MT900. Gotta love the flat finish and red accents throughout the car.
Amongst the mix of show cars were also plenty of race machines like the BERK BMW 1-series.
This 800 horsepower M5 is not your average German power house sedan, especially when under the hood sits two supercharges from G-Power (Germany). Capable of exceeding 300 km/h this V10 beast is all go with some incredible curb appeal.
Euro tuning has also come a long way with the likes of flush wheels and aero bits like this E-class Mercedes-Benz fitted with Carlsson parts.
A rare car in North America or anywhere is this Datsun 510 Bluebird. Powered by an SR20DET, this turbo vintage coupe is a go-kart on steroids.
Autokonexion built this monster all-carbon Miata to either scare children or whomever is brave enough to pilot it. Regardless of one's take, it is immaculate and very unique for the roadster.
What does 034Motorsport and an Audi TT have in common? How about a full race DTM-style version ready to scare anyone on track!
One of the many gorgeous faces scattered about the SEMA grounds. This beauty was spotted in the Savini wheels booth outside and despite the hot weather, she was in great spirits welcoming all spectators for photo-ops.
One of the coolest looking Volkswagen Beetles of all time, especially considering it is the latest generation.
This matte Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG got many looks with its awesome widebody kit and matte finish. It is no wonder that matte is the popular choice of texture for exteriors this season, but will it carry onto 2013?
The Hennessey VR1200 made an appearance at SEMA and parked outside for anyone to drool over. This twin turbo 1,200+ horsepower beast is capable of 220 mph runs without ever letting up!
Outside in the Pioneer booth was this DJ spinning on the 1s and 2s. The best part of it all is the fact that he is a mere 10-years old!
The definition of being a true baller in any part of the world is by far the Rolls-Royce Phantom, especially when its customized in matte bronze and black – what a beautiful combination.
The Mercedes-Benz CLS model is beautiful in its own right, but add a widebody conversion, matte blue paint job, and some mean looking wheels and it takes this German luxury sedan into another level.
The famous Mazda 787 race car from the Le Mans series was parked in the Mazda booth and looking pristine as well as making everyone gravitate to it – is it any wonder?
The beautiful ladies from the HornBlasters booth were posing for photos with spectators and looking like good ole' country gals!
This gorgeous sled was spotted in the Kinetik battery booth. Gorgeous wheels, immaculate paint, and countless hours of detailed workmanship has gone into making this a very unique metal masterpiece.
The king of videos – Mr. Ken Block was signing autographs in the Ford booth for most of the afternoon along side fellow Ford-backed drivers like Vaughn Gitten Jr.
Winner of the most coveted "show car" award in existence is this stunning red masterpiece parked in the BASF booth. Can you guess the award?
The legendary and quite possibly one of the most humble people in the industry, Mr. Chip Foose was in the BASF booth set to unveil his latest creation to a crowd of 100+ spectators and media folk. After a brief heartfelt speech, Chip pulled the covers off to the jaw-dropping amazement of onlookers.
The Foose designed masterpiece is this 1948 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible knonw as "Eldorod" was completely redone in BASF Glasurit 90-Line custom deep blue paint. To the surprise of many and Chip himself, this was the first-ever car that Chip designed during his days at Boyd's Hot Rods and was the last car delivered before it closed down in 1998. An incredible story of an incredible car and a modern day automotive legend and role model for any gear head.
Stay tuned all week long as we continue with updates LIVE from SEMA 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada!

UPDATE: Missing Woman Found Dead In Pond
By Mike Perleberg
Update posted at 1:26 p.m.:
Dearborn County Sheriff's investigators have identified the victim found deceased in a pond Wednesday morning as Peggy Dean, of Aurora.
Dean lived on Douglas Drive, not far from the pond in which her body was found.
The 57-year-old woman's death is believed to be accidental. An autopsy will be performed to determine Dean's cause of death.
Original story posted at 9:40 a.m:
(Aurora, Ind.) – The search for a woman reported missing in the Aurora area appears to have ended tragically this morning.
A woman reportedly suffering from Alzheimer's disease was reported missing in the area of Dutch Hollow Road and Hoppy Hollow Road near U.S. 50 in Aurora. The Dearborn County Sheriff's Department was searching for the 57-year-old woman described a white, 5'6" tall with blonde hair and wearing a white shirt or nightgown.
The woman, whose name has not been released, had wandered from her home in the nearby Millstone Drive area at about 6:00 a.m. A passerby spotted her on Dutch Hollow Road around that time, said Captain David Wismann.
Wismann said the woman was located in a pond on Dutch Hollow Road around 9:00 a.m. Eagle 99.3 has learned that the Dearborn County Coroner has been summoned to that pond.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

Six years ago, city leaders created a new developer fee with a promise to expand Houston's park lands.
In my story today, I note that some involved in the 2007 passage of the open space ordinance were surprised to learn the city has not yet bought any land after it has collected $11.5 million in $700-per-residential-unit fees.
Although the ordinance allows the money to be spent on improvements, many involved in its passage expected that to be secondary to land buys.
The ordinance passed just before the nation entered a recession that slowed residential development, so the fee did not began to grow into a meaningful fund until the recent rebound, said Mark Ross, deputy director of parks development.
He defended the city's use of the funds to date as matching neighborhood needs and fitting within park sectors that have not accrued enough money to purchase land.
Although I hope you read the full story on houstonchronicle.com, I created two interactive maps where you can explore the 28 completed projects funded with the open space fee — mostly playground surface replacements — and the total value of fees collected in each park sector since the first one was paid in May 2008. Under the ordinance, fees must be spent in the same sector from which they were collected.

We have a dear friend who had their identity stolen. The thief used our friend's name to make a lot of unauthorized purchases. Sadly, the friend's reputation was soiled because of somebody who did stuff in 'their name'.
When we claim to be Christians, using the 'identity' of Christ but not living by the principals He set forth; we misrepresent Jesus to the world. The scripture instructs us to live a life that is Holy. (I Peter 1:15-16 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy.")
It is often easy to set aside that standard and choose to take on the identity of the world in our attitudes, language and entertainment choices. An independent Barna survey taken in 2003 found that 8 out of 10 protestant Christians, by their OWN admission, did not apply the standards of the scripture to their personal lives.
The world watches us and judges Christ by our actions. In a 2005 article in Christianity Today (The Scandal of the Evangelical Conscience; Why don't Christians live what they preach?) George Barna was quoted as having concluded, "because Jesus' modern-day disciples do not act like Jesus; this scandalous behavior mocks Christ, undermines evangelism, and destroys Christian credibility."
We wonder why we don't see more healing and miracles; yet we have no conviction to clean up our personal lives so a Holy God can be manifested through us. The lives of God's people must line up with the holiness the scripture demands or we are an ineffective witness!
It's not enough to say, 'the church needs to be more Christ like' because I'm the church. When I say, "I'm a Christian", I can not continue to behave like the world while taking on the identity of Christ. The most influential witness is Jesus living through ME.
Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

State Governments: Help Us Help You
State Governments: Help Us Help You
04.20.11 | By Kate Connors
I admit that this blog post comes to you a few days late. As I read through coverage of PhRMA's annual meeting, this article in The Newark Star-Ledger caught my eye.
I wrote, in our blog updates from the annual meeting, about how New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said that the state's "economic future and our ability to innovate for a prosperous future will depend in large measure on the continued growth and success of the pharmaceutical industry."
The Star-Ledger article, tying Christie's remarks in with news that a jobs-providing biopharmaceutical company opted to maintain headquarters in the state, points out that different states have different experiences in luring, and keeping, a biopharmaceutical sector presence: "In the past two years, the state has seen pharmaceutical business shrink so dramatically - while other hubs in places like Massachusetts and North Carolina expand - that some industry observers wonder if New Jersey still deserves its long-standing nickname as the nation's medicine cabinet," the article says.
Still, the sector remains a strong employer in the state. If anything, New Jersey's experience details what we have long said about the need for consistent public policies that support innovative companies: essentially, if you build it, they will come.
Governor Christie's goal of forging "collaborative partnerships" with companies has already produced one success.
As the article quotes sanofi-aventis CEO and PhRMA Chairman Chris Viechbacher as saying, "Companies are going to invest in states that are well governed."

Hey there!
This plugin works perfect for me on my site, I've been running it for almost a year now and I'm very happy with it, except for one thing!
When I try to change the settings to display all time combined with average daily views, the message Sorry. No data so far. displays.
It works like a charm with all time combined with total views. All other combinations seems to work as it should as well (Last 30 days + Average daily views etc...)
The site in question is http://webbhjalp.se (in Swedish, top 6 popular posts on the right, at the moment last 30 days + average daily views.)
Any idea what the problem might be?
Thanks for a great plugin!

Something Wicked This Way Comes
by Ray Bradbury
Something Wicked This Way Comes Chapter 5 Summary
- Charles Halloway is about to leave the bar when he pauses. He sees a man in a dark suit with paper rolls under his arm. He's putting up handbills.
- The man is whistling a tune that makes Charles shiver. Charles leaves the saloon and crosses the street to check out the man's poster.
- The man waves. His hand is covered with black silken hair.
- In an empty shop, a long block of ice is displayed with a placard proclaiming "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World." Charles notices that the block of ice is indeed shaped like a woman…that there is the shadow of a woman lurking inside it.
- Charles Halloway wants to leave but he stands for a while staring at the empty shop and the long block of ice.

Kukule Ganga Hydro Power Project :
Relief from shocking electricity bills?
by Vimukthi Fernando
'Energy at low cost' is one of the dreams of Sri Lankan citizens. Not that they do not have other dreams. But, in infrastructure especially energy is the key to development argue some. And for years, Sri Lanka was able to produce low cost energy, by way of electricity through its massive hydropower schemes. But, not anymore... The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB), Sri Lanka's electricity giant who monopolises the field, finds it extremely hard to provide the required 20 million units (20 GWh - Giga Watt hours) per day. And today, the costs are running high, for 25 percent of Sri Lanka's electricity need is produced using thermal energy from oil.
In this context, words of the Power and Energy Minister, Karu Jayasuriya bring relief to consumers. He was hopeful of providing electricity at low cost at a recent inspection tour of the Kukule Ganga Hydro Power Project (KGHPP). The project "will help bring cost relief to the masses" he said adding that the unit cost would be "80 cents in the first ten years, and approximately Rs. 2.25 for the next 25 years." Started in 1999, the Kukule Ganga project, is scheduled to be commissioned in September, one month earlier than the estimated completion time. The first generator will start working in June. By early May, about 90 percent of the construction work was completed.
The project history goes back to the 1980s, where a 100 metre high dam displacing over 1,000 families was planned. However, after studying 6 alternative schemes, carrying out various tests and much protest from environmentalists it was finally decided to have a run of the river power plant with a 16 metres high and 110 metres long dam (at Meepagama), a power house 220m below ground and a tunnel system of 8.7 km (at Kelinkanda). And now, the pond (or the reservoir) area is limited to 120 hectares, with a capacity to hold 1.6 cubic metres of water displacing 19 households. The dam consists 4 sluice gates which enable both automatic and manual operation.
The water so collected in the pond is run through a settling tank or a sand trap, to stop some of the sediment particles which could damage the turbines from entering into the waterway. "This is the first time this technique is used in Sri Lanka," said Tissa M. Herath, Project Director. Why such a system is needed was because unlike in large reservoirs water does not get settled at a run of the river plant.
The water, cleared of debris and sediment is sent through a 5.7 km long and 6.4 km diameter headrace tunnel to the power house. At its full capacity, the two turbines working under a 185 mere water head and a water pressure of 47.5 cubic metres per second, generate 35.2 MW (Mega Watts) each. Two transformers step up the voltage to 132 KV and this is transferred to the national grid at the Mathugama sub station, through a 27 km long 132 KV, double circuit transmission line. After power generation, the water will be released to Kukule Ganga at Molkawa, 15 Kilo metres downstream.
The 70 MW capacity plant at Kukule Ganga would produce 317 GWh of electricity annually contributing to about 5 percent of the annual electricity requirement, said the Project Director. According to CEB statistics, the national requirement of electricity is estimated as 7,500 GWh per annum.
By operating the Kukuleganga plant CEB will save Rs. 2,000 million per annum as thermal power generation through oil would cost Rs. 5.50 to Rs. 6.00 per unit, he said. The Kukuleganga Hydro Power Project costs Rs. 15 billion and is assisted by the government of Japan. The Japanese Bank of International Corporation (JBIC) provided a soft loan of 27,127 million Yen (Rs. 12.5 billion) with a grace period of 10 years at 2.2 percent interest. The rest (Rs. 2.5 billion) is contributed by CEB. Switzerland, Germany and Austria joined hands with Japan providing consultancies and implementing the actual construction.
Kukule Ganga Project has set up an example in the CEB in being one of the first projects to take up the requirements and needs of the displaced families, said Herath. Fifty-two of the 58 families displaced at the dam site/pond area, access road and building sites, had already been relocated. Six families are to be relocated soon. The CEB had paid a total sum of Rs. 18 million as compensation for the tea and paddy land within the pond area.
The protective measures undertaken by the project minimises environment pollution, says the Project Director.
The underground power station minimised clearing of the forest and the project activities including the waste disposal system was monitored by a team appointed by the Central Environment Authority.
Environment concerns for Kukule Ganga were more for it borders the Sinharaja Forest Reserve. A tributary to Sri Lanka's second largest river, Kalu Ganga, Kukule's origins are hidden in the core of the Sinharaja rain forest.
The project had already disturbed the fauna and flora of the forests reserves of Hallokaya, Mukalana and Warathalgoda, claim the environmentalists. Sinharaja is home to many an endemic species of fauna and flora including freshwater fish, orchids and amphibians.
Much environmental damage to the flora happened during the time of the construction of access roads and building sites, say the environmentalists. Another concern is the destruction of the habitats of endemic fish.
However, it is a fact that the flow of Kukule Ganga for 15 km, (from the intake to the outlet) is to be maintained with a mandatory release of 2.5 cubic metres of water per second.
Though this might be a possibility during the rainy season whether it could be maintained during the dry months is yet another question.
However high the anticipation runs, whether Kukule Ganga is gain or loss could only be gauged in time, when it comes into actual operation.

Can High Tech Gizmos Deliver A Clean Vote In Mexico?
Political analyst Adrin Lajous recalls his first voting experience in 1940 with a mixture of amusement and dismay: "I was a year short of legal age, but there was no official voter registration list, so I walked around Mexico City and voted eight times. It was utter chaos, and naturally the official party won through outright fraud."
That was then. This year's Aug. 21 presidential election will be vastly different--at least on the surface. The government of President Carlos Salinas de Gortari is spending nearly $1 billion on high-tech gizmos that promise to deliver a clean vote. Tamper-proof photo-identification voter-registration cards produced by Polaroid de Mexico have been issued to 44 million Mexicans on a list compiled with the assistance of IBM de Mexico.
Officials have also devised a quick-count vote-tallying system, using 6,600 handheld, point-of-sale computer terminals to send preliminary results from the country's 300 voting districts to Mexico City. Thus, they hope to avoid a repeat of the 1988 election, when a seat-of-the-pants early result system helped fuel suspicion of fraud.
HALF-HEARTED. This is all part of a huge, hasty effort by Salinas to convince his North American Free Trade Agreement partners and an electorate made even more skeptical by the assassination of presidential candidate Luis Donaldo Colosio that the vote will be free and fair.
But political analysts and opposition party members say the government's eleventh-hour conversion to fair elections is half-hearted. "They haven't become instant converts to democracy," says Lorenzo Meyer, a political scientist at Colegio de Mexico. They just want to avoid a fiasco "that could unravel investor confidence."
Indeed, only when guerrilla warfare broke out in Chiapas in January did officials realize that more substantive progress toward democracy had to be made. Recent reforms, approved in May, create a new civilian-dominated, supposedly neutral body governing the Federal Electoral Institute, which oversees elections. New rules also mete out jail terms for funneling government funds to parties, and other election crimes.
However, it will be tough to enforce these rules--especially in backward rural areas, where local political chieftains can intimidate voters. Although ballot boxes will for the first time have small screens, voters may still not feel their choices are private. The PRI will also likely use its sizable financial resources to dominate the media.
SURPRISES? Still, Mexicans are getting excited as they realize that these elections could be the most open ever held. In May, the presidential candidates from the three leading parties participated in the first ever debate, which was broadcast on TV and radio. The surprise "winner" was Diego Fernandez de Cevallos of the National Action Party (PAN), whose bold debating style catapulted him from third place to a leading position in some polls. The "loser" was left-leaning Cuauhtemoc Crdenas of the PRD, who came close to winning the 1988 election against Salinas. While the PRI candidate, Ernesto Zedillo Ponce de Len, didn't "win" the debate, he did gain plaudits for suggesting it.
There could be other surprises in the coming months--perhaps in a follow-up debate. For the first time, there is a possibility the PRI could lose a national election. That chance, though, is slight. The party is very powerful, with all the advantages of incumbency. Unless the opposition makes huge strides, the PRI is likely to win even a largely clean election, with voters choosing a familiar face over the unknown.

The biggest reason? A Bulldog win more than likely follows.
Just a mere 13 minutes into the contest, Sikeston senior Brandon Goodwin gave the Bulldogs (16-4) a leg-up against visiting Carbondale, Ill., Tuesday which began a 3-0 shutout at the Sikeston Sports Complex.
"It takes pressure off of you and you're able to relax a little bit," Sikeston soccer coach Doyle Noe said about scoring first. "Then again, it puts a lot of pressure on the other team. When a team does that, they put their heads down and you're able to do more of the things you want to during the flow of the game."
Sikeston has been a team all year that relies on scoring early. Not only does it give them a lead, it allows their extremely stout defense to keep opposing teams out of the net -- something that Sikeston keeper Josh Hampton has done for a school record 12 times now.
"Our defense was the best aspect of our team for quite awhile," Noe said. "The last three or four games, we've won big games but we've just given up dumb goals and we've really worked on tightening that up. You can't give up easy goals. You've got to play a solid 80 minutes whether the ball is on your end the whole time or whether it's back there 10 or 15 minutes.
"Tonight, they tightened it up. They stayed with their marks, stayed compact and went with the guys making runs. When we do that, we're very difficult to beat."
Goodwin made up for a prime scoring opportunity even earlier in the first half when he faced Carbondale's goalie one on one on a breakaway. Goodwin's shot hit the keeper in the hands and caromed out of bounds.
He came back just minutes later to clean up a shot by Adam Johnson that hit the back of the net for a 1-0 lead.
"I was just in the right spot at the right time," Goodwin said, who has scored six goals in his last three games. "It's just following up great passes, crosses and shots."
"Brandon missed a golden opportunity just a couple minutes in, but to get that one pretty early was big and set the tone for the rest of the game," added Noe.
Though scoring first has been a strength for Sikeston, it's been a thorn in Carbondale's side for most of the season -- as has the Bulldogs.
Sikeston is now 3-0 against the Terriers (7-11) this season after meeting them once during Carbondale's Invitational tournament, again during the Notre Dame Soccerfest and finally Tuesday night.
Sikeston has won all three games by a combined score of 6-0.
"That's been our issue all year," Carbondale head coach Jeff Hansen said about giving up early goals. "We really haven't responded well doing that. We've struggled being down."
Sikeston continued to possess and control the shot selection throughout most of the first half, but wasn't able to score their second goal until seven minutes into the second.
Goodwin scored his second goal of the night to give the Bulldogs a commanding 2-0 advantage.
"They always have that quick, fast, physical team that never stops playing," Hansen said about Sikeston. "They have a great program here and it's tough once you get behind his group to come back."
Hunter Taylor iced the game just 10 minutes following Goodwin's second goal.
"We possessed the ball and were able to finish," Goodwin said. "We worked hard, we hustled to everything and we were flying around the field. They couldn't really keep up with us."
"Our offense got rolling early and the defense really didn't give them a whole lot," added Noe. "I was very pleased with them doing that, especially with us going into Thursday."
Thursday brings a tough test for the Bulldogs as they travel north to Cape Central to take on the Tigers, a team they narrowly defeated 1-0 early this season.
If Sikeston defeats Cape Central, they will at least capture a share of the SEMO Conference championship -- a feat no other Sikeston team has accomplished.

Letters to the editor
Blowback from ineptness The president's failure to negotiate with his opposition to delay the opening date of his health care plan has come back to bite him. Although the public was practically unanimous against this benefit-cutting and cost-increasing plan, he was intent on pushing it down their throats. Now he has exposed himself and his administration to their high degree of ineptness in not being able to launch the plan.After all, they had three to four years to get this up and running. To get the people's minds off this monumental fiasco, he is today talking immigration reform. His intransigence on the matter resulted in a shutdown of the government. He was delighted with this as it gave him a chance to really flail his opposition and cause much inconvenience to the public. He is a master at blaming everybody else for his failures. His opposition doesn't really amount to much as it is loaded with "Beltway boobs" who are more concerned with their image and keeping their jobs than the welfare of their constituents. They ridicule their fellow members who are standing up for their constituents by calling them names such as "wacos." Unfortunately, in the end, they bow down and give into the president. Dick Ford Sebring Republicans extinct? There will probably never be a Republican government in the United States. President Obama having been a community organizer, he just got the word out that if you vote for me, you will receive generous gifts in return. With all the handouts he has provided so far, he has convinced all those who have found they don't have to work for a living, just get a check from the government, free health insurance, free food stamps, free cell phones and much more that has not been publicized. He has two more years to do serious damage to our democracy. Whoever replaces this president, all he or she has to do is get the word out that he or she will promise that the gifts will continue. Charles German Sebring

Anthony Amis at FOE, (and a former IWW member) writes in the Austrakasian Phoenix April 2006
I first met Aunt in 1993 when she was camped out in the scrub at the far end of Lake Condah Mission in her poogie.
We got on very well and over the years numerous other visitors met Aunty Betty at her bush home.
Aunt was a wonderful character who welcomed all visitors with a big smile.
In 1994 it became obvious to me that Aunt played a big role in the Aboriginal community in Portland. In June that year we visited Aunt when she had helped organise an Aboriginal Tent Embassy in the main street of Portland. She stayed in that tent for 6 weeks in the middle of winter before the Embassy was packed up.
During that time she managed to help bring greater understanding about Aboriginal issues to the people of Portland, including the local government and also played a pivotal role when local councils were merged into a new Shire. Some people wanted to call the new Shire "Henty" (Henty was a mass murderer of Aboriginal people in south west Victoria in the 1840's). It was largely due to the influence of Aunty Betty and the Embassy that that name was not accepted.
Aunty Betty made national news in 1995 when she was embroiled in a tussle with the flag bearer on Australia 'Invasion' Day at Portland. National news broadcasts across the country showed Aunt wrestling over the flag in front of stunned government and community representatives, one of which rugby tackled Aunt to the ground. When Premier Jeff Kennett met Aunt in 1996 he was handed a bag of salt and a broken hand mirror. "This represents all the lies you've told our people" Aunty Betty King snarled.
Aunt took on the Federal Government in 1998 for the crime of Genocide and took on the State Government and Ballarat Orphanage in 2002 over the appalling treatment that she endured in government institutions when she was a child. She once told me that kids in the orphanage, be they white or black always went to Aunt when they had problems. She stood up for their rights and almost always faced violent retribution by the authorities for standing up for those kids. I believe that she retained those same characteristics all of her life.
Aunt was a very tough and proud warrior woman. She had a very hard life in the orphanage, where she was sent after being stolen from her family when she was a young girl. Her teeth were knocked out by the Minister, and her feet were severely damaged due to her being forced to wear shoes that were far too small for her feet. Kids were often stockwhipped by the Minister. When Aunt turned 14, she was sterilised at the Orphanage. She was put into Pentridge Prison at the age of 16.
She once told me that she escaped from Boggo Road jail in Brisbane in the 1950's. A very tough life followed.
Aunt cared passionately about the environment, especially forests. She attended protests at the woodchip mill in Geelong and attended forest protests in the Otways. She was very pleased when she heard that logging was finally ending in the Otways in 2008. She also protested about logging near Portland in the Cobboboonee State Forest near Portland. Nothing got her more "worked up" than hearing about logging. Protests were held in the forests and Portland in 1999, with Aunty Betty leading the charge. One of the scariest memories I have of Aunt was at the S11 protests in Melbourne in 2001. Aunt had painted up for the occasion and several thousand people were left speechless when she took the mike and loudly vocalised her feelings about multi-national companies.
Aunt was an indigenous advisor to Friends of the Earth. She was a guest speaker at indigenous solidarity conferences in the late 1990's and her artwork 'Bush Fire Dreaming" was turned into a poster and sent all over Australia and overseas. Her artwork was a constant inspiration in her life and she was a very talented painter with a unique perception of nature. One of her larger paintings now sits on the wall of Glenelg Shire Offices in Portland.
In later years Aunt became concerned about the spread of bluegums and loss of water throughout the region and expressed a wish that Lake Condah could be reflooded back to its natural state. She was also a key figure in Native Title issues.
It was a great honour knowing Aunty Betty. We had a lot of good times and some bad times and she was a welcome member of our family in Melbourne. She had a big heart and was a very generous person who showed a lot of compassion to other people and nature.
We will miss her very much. She is survived by her son Mark, her grandchildren and extended family. She was 67 years old when she passed away.

We all know the importance of eating healthy, but what about the other factors in life that play a huge role in our health?
Most deodorants out there are loaded with aluminum. What's wrong with aluminum? To start with, aluminum is a metal. It is used as the antiperspirant and goes directly into the pores to temporarily clog the pores and prevent you from sweating. Aluminum is known to cause Cancer, Alzheimer's Disease and MS. We put deodorant on every day... sometimes twice a day! Think about how much aluminum you are putting into your pores on an annual basis...
Besides the aluminum, most deodorants just don't work! There are different types of sweat. Your body sweats based upon temperature but also due to stress. Stress sweat always seems to smell the worst. With All Me, you will find that it works on any type of sweat. You can even put All Me on top of a stinky armpit and the smell will go away! Some people even use it for their kid's feet!
It is safe and non-toxic. The cool thing is that it really works!!!! The combination of various oils, essentials oils, etc... brings us back to old school. No worries... safe for women, men and children!
Try All Me. You will love it!
