Skill Level Beginner
In this exercise I'm going to show you how to set the position of the origin point, so that you can precisely control the center of a given transformation. I have gone ahead and saved my progress as Enough circles.ai. After all, we have had enough of the circles already. I am going to go ahead and zoom in on the square. We want to create a couple of additional squares. I'll show you what they look like by clicking on the eyeball in front of the progress layer, so that we can see the template in the background. So we have this larger square right here that I'm tracing with my no can draw icon, because we can't affect this locked layer. Then we have a couple of smaller squares that are aligned with the bottom-left corner of the larger square. So that's where we are going to set our transformation origin, right there in that bottom-left corner.
All right, so turn back on the progress layer, and my Scale tool is still active as you can see here, but I want to go ahead and select the square. So I'm going to press the Ctrl key or the Command key on the Mac in order to get my last used Arrow tool on the fly, and that would be the Black Arrow tool in my case. Then I'll click with Ctrl or Command down, this path in order to select it. You can see it has a double stroke effect. If you want to figure out what's going on there, you switch over to the Appearance palette, and you can see that we have got two strokes. One is a black stroke, this guy right there, which is 2 points thick, and it's centered on the path outline. The other is the 1.5 point stroke. I'll go ahead and make this palette a little wider so you can see that. It's set inside of the path boundary. So that's what's going on.
By the way, this is a great thing in Illustrator CS4 that we are going to be exploring over and over throughout this series. You finally have eyeballs inside of the Appearance palette. It used to be if you wanted to see the way an object looked without a given attribute, you had to take that attribute and throw it in a trash. That would give you sense what it would look like without it; and then you would press Ctrl+Z or Command+Z on the Mac to undo that trashing of the attribute. Now you have what you would expect to have, which is an eyeball. So if I wanted to see what this rectangle looked like without the top stroke, I would just turn off that eyeball. Then I would say oh, it's just a standard black stroke, and this is what things would look like with that inner stroke, and without the larger stroke.
So just so you know that is an option that's available to you, and you can save, if I were to go ahead and save this graphic in the Illustrator CS4 format, then I could say which attributes are turned off and which are turned on. If I were to save to earlier format, CS3, CS2, and so on, then Illustrator would just go ahead and throw away the hidden attributes; just FYI. Anyway, I'm going to turn that back on. So having gone ahead and selected this rectangle, let's set the origin point. So notice the origin point, if you look very carefully, you will be able to see this on your screen pretty easily. It's a little harder to see in video, but there is this kind of green on green target icon right there. That shows you the transformation origin. If you want to move it, you can click on it and drag it, or you can just click at a point in order to set the transformation origin there.
I want it to be in the bottom-right corner, on that corner point. So I'll click, and now we have the target right there. It's really hard to see now, but it is there. Okay, now I want to go ahead and drag this square down in order to scale it down, but we can't really see what we are doing, because we are hiding the templates. So let's go back to the Layers palette and Ctrl-click or Command-click on that eyeball, so that we are getting our results exactly right, in case you are interested in doing that. I'll now move my cursor 45 degrees away from that transformation origin point. I can even move it down here, it doesn't matter, but it's sort of more intuitive if you put your cursor near the object.
I will go ahead and drag downward, like so. So down and to the left toward the transformation origin, which is now a little bit easier to see than it was before. I'll press the Shift key in order to constrain my square to a square. Then I'll press the Alt key as well in order to ensure that I'm getting a clone; that would be the Option key on the Mac. So you have got Shift+Alt down, or Shift+Option down, go ahead and release your mouse button and you now have a new square. You can safely release the keys. Let's go ahead and switch back to the Preview mode by pressing Ctrl+Y, Command+Y on the Mac, and I'll go to the Appearance palette. This time I just don't want this inner stroke anymore. If you are not sure that you want to throw it away, you could just turn it off, you can just hide it from view; or if you decide, yes, I actually do want it to go away, then you can move down to the trash can. You can either drag it to the trashcan incidentally, or you can go down to the trashcan and click on it, and that item will disappear.
I want to change these attributes a little bit, the Fill and the Stroke, of course. So I'll go to the Fill icon up here in the Control palette, click, and this time around I'm going to choose Aztec gold as the color. Then for the stroke, I'll go ahead and click on the Stroke icon, and I'll change it to darkness. I'm happy, by the way, with the 2-point stroke. So that works just fine. Return to the Layers palette, so we can see what we are dong. Ctrl-click, Command-click on that eyeball in order to switch just this one layer to the key-line mode. The Scale tool is still active, but the transformation origin has gone ahead and reset itself. Darn it, it shouldn't be doing that kind of thing. Click in the lower-left corner to reposition that origin point where it goes.
Then dragging from about here, drag downward toward the origin point in order to reduce the size of the object. Press and hold Shift+Alt on the PC, Shift+Option on the Mac, release your mouse button, release the keys, press Ctrl+Y, Command+Y on the Mac. I'm not trying to go too fast for you here, by the way I hope I'm not? I'm just trying to give you a sense of, sort of, how you work through an illustration. It's just a lot of it's kind of these wrote things that you do over and over again, applied creatively, of course. All right, so I'll go back up to the Control palette or heck, I can switch over to the Appearance palette if I wanted to. I could have done this before too, I could abort from the Appearance palette right here. I'll do it this time. I'll click on that Stroke attribute a couple of times in order to make it active.
Then in order to switch over to this guy, Rich Black, and then I'll move down to the Fill attribute. Click on it, and I'll change it to this swatch, Plains grass. That's our fill. We also want to reduce the stroke weight to 1 point. If you want everything to align properly, I'm going to go ahead and zoom in here to show you what I mean. Notice that the black stroke of the forward rectangle is sitting a little bit above, and to the left of the brown stroke. That's because both of the strokes are aligned to their paths, and the brown stroke is thicker than the black stroke.
If that bothers you, if you want to try and get them both exactly aligned to each other, then you go and click on the Word Stroke here inside the Appearance palette, or up in the Control palette would work too. You would switch to this guy right there, Align Stroke to Outside. And because this black stroke is exactly half as thick as the brown stroke, the two will exactly align to each other. So just another way to work. I mean that's not what I did actually in the template, but that's what I'm doing this time around in the exercise. All right, looking good? In the next exercise we are going to switch away from the Scale tool, and we are going to grab these three objects here, and we are going to rotate them into alignment with each of the points of this purple star right here. Join me.

On this World Refugee Day,
let us recall our common humanity,
celebrate tolerance and diversity and open our
hearts to refugees everywhere.
– Ban Ki-Moon
June 20 is World Refugee Day. In February this year I attended the launch of 'Home: between here and there', an exhibition of asylum seeker art at the Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture (ACC&C) in Canberra. The painting shown on the cover of this issue really drew my attention that night, and again at a follow-up retreat conducted by Susanna Pain based on these artworks. Its strong colours and shapes spoke to me of resilience and the rich layering of memory that is a part of a sense of home for all of us. Another of the paintings is included in Stephen Pickard's article. The artist, Babak Jahangirzadeh says of this work: 'I have lost my home. There is no home now, and here I am lost in the darkness. But I hope there's still light.'
Stephen Pickard says more about this event as well as the vision and programs of the ACC&C. Hopefully you will find resonances here with the Eremos vision of promoting conversations on contemporary issues and recognising the arts as an arena for prophetic expression. Rob Brennan's 'Exploring Religious Conflicts in Syria and Iraq' reminds us of the value of providing a forum for interfaith discussion on such areas as religious radicalisation and extremism.
Rob's recollection of this recent Eremos event is helpful in unpacking some of the complexity behind a situation that is of concern to us all. 'Can religion be part of the solution to rising fundamentalism?' asks Peter Maher in his discussion of the multi-faith centre at the London School of Economics and its strategic role in promoting a more respectful religious understanding among potential world leaders.
If fundamentalism divides, mysticism can draw spiritual seekers together, as the ongoing popularity of Persian Sufi mystic poets like Rumi (13th C.) and Hafiz (14th C.) suggests. Milad Milan introduces a less familiar 12th Century Sufi mystic's treatment of the metaphor of romantic love to convey humanity's desire for union with God.
Paul Kielich's 'This Elusive Oneness' shows how science rather than religion supports what the mystics have always known – that we are more connected with everything and everyone else than we ever imagined.
Francis of Assisi, that most grounded of saints, has much to offer a world in need of healing and reconciliation, according to Sarah Bachelard, because he bears witness to the possibility of living in solidarity with all creation when we come from a place of 'compassion, gratitude and non-possessiveness rather than scarcity and threat'.
'New Wineskins for a Vintage Gospel' is an exploration of new ways of doing church in the face of what is sometimes called 'The Great Religious Recession'.
Finally, Digby Hannah reviews David Tacey's most recent response to fundamentalism: Beyond Literal Belief: Religion as Metaphor.
Love and peace

Seafarer Security Certification Guidance Reached
Guidance on training and certification requirements for ship security officers and seafarers with designated security duties has been agreed by IMO, to address practical difficulties seafarers have reportedly experienced in obtaining the necessary security certification under the 2010 Manila amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) and STCW Code. The guidance recommends that, until July 1, 2015, relevant training under section 13 (Training, drills and exercises on ship security) of the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code should be accepted as being equivalent to that required under the STCW Convention and Code. The guidance was agreed by the Sub-Committee on Human Element, Training and Watchkeeping (HTW), meeting for its first session from February 17-21, 2014, which expressed its concern that large numbers of seafarers were reportedly unable to have access to approved training courses or were unable to be issued certification of security-related training in accordance with the STCW regulations. The Sub-Committee approved an STCW circular on Advice for port State control officers, recognized organizations and recognized security organizations on action to be taken in cases where seafarers do not carry certification required in accordance with regulation VI/6 of the STCW Convention and section A-VI/6, paragraphs four and six of the STCW Code after January 1, 2014

The person I talked to, who called himself "Randy," gave me a phone number for my son to use to call me, and he charged my credit card account $191.00, which was supposed to allow up to 300 minutes per month for up to a year. He said this service was "guaranteed" and even gave me a toll free number to call and cancel if I was not satisfied with the service.
My son was never able to get through with the number that Randy gave me. It turns out that prisons do not allow 3rd party calls. When I called and asked them to cancel and refund my money I was told that the refund would go on my credit card, but it would take 5-7 weeks. After 5 months and 4 telephone calls to request a refund, I still have not received it. Each time I am told that I need to wait a little longer. Something should be done about this scam!!!

By SNK | Released: 1990
One of the unsung heroes of the action/RPG genre from the NES era, Crystalis was such an intriguing and unique adventure in its first release in 1990 that Nintendo itself actually went back, got the rights to it, and re-released it ten years later as a first-party Game Boy Color port. No other NES game ever earned that honor, but it's easy to see why Crystalis did – this post-apocalyptic tale of thermonuclear aftermath skillfully blended fantasy and science-fiction into one dynamic story. The hero begins the game by awakening from cryogenic sleep, and then goes on to collect a set of four elemental swords to save the world. Each blade offered a different ability, like the Sword of Wind that shot small tornadoes and the Sword of Water that could create bridges of ice. Once all four had been collected, the legendary titular sword "Crystalis" could be created. Use that sword and you'll understand why this one has certainly earned its classic status.
I was blown away by how complete an experience Crystalis was. It looked extremely impressive for its time and I loved the soundtrack. Plus, being able to build an "ultimate weapon" out of blades I already had was a great touch. It's one of the earliest games that convinced me that RPGs were my favorite.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - State mine inspectors have finished the
investigation of a 2005 fatal coal truck accident.
They're scheduled to present a report on the Nov. 8, 2005 death
of truck driver Chad Cook to the state Board of Coal Mine Health
and Safety Wednesday.
Cook's death originally was not considered a mining accident. It
was reclassified after state and federal mine safety officials
decided the the accident occurred on the property of Mountain View
Mine in Tucker County.
MSHA has since issued a report concluding Cook lost control of
the truck, probably due to excessive speed.
State investigators also are scheduled to report on the death of
an independent contractor crushed to death by a metal plate that
fell from a bulldozer he was repairing last March.

Standard Bank
OpenRegister ▻
IRONMAN World Championship qualification
The 2016 Standard Bank IRONMAN African Championship has 75 age group qualifying slots available for the 2016 IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.
Doors will be closed at 11h00 : there will be no further entry into the venue after this time.
All athletes who have qualified for the 2016 IRONMAN World Championship and want to accept a slot MUST be present at slot allocation at 11h00 on Monday 11 April 2016 at the Tsitsikamma Room, The Boardwalk Hotel and Conference Centre. If you qualify for a World Championship slot you will have to immediately pay the entry fee online via credit- / debit card at the slot allocation venue in order to receive your Qualification Papers. Please note that only an 'online payment system' will be used (i.e. no cash or cheques). There will be laptops available at Slot Allocation to make credit/debit card payment : ONLY VISA AND MASTERCARD ACCEPTED. Your final registration must be completed at a later stage.
Please be sure to bring along the following items to claim your slot:
• Photo Identification (ID book, Driver's License or Passport)
• Credit- / Debit Card (VISA and Mastercard only)
Slot allocation will be determined based on the number of official starters and shall be representative of the actual number of Age Group starters in each category in the race. If there are no starters in a particular Age Group, then that slot will be moved to the next calculated Age Group within the gender : for example, if 8% of the Age Group starters are Female 40-44, then 8% of the slots are allocated to the Female 40-44 category. If you are not present or cannot pay for your slot, it will automatically be rolled down to the next person in that age group until the slot is accepted.
The ceremony will start with the oldest female category that has starters, through all the female age-groups, then onto the male categories, from oldest to youngest. If an athlete chooses not to take the slot, does not attend the slot allocation roll-down ceremony or has already qualified, the next eligible finisher in that Age Group may claim the qualifying slot. Following roll-down, any unclaimed slots within an Age Group will be reallocated to another Age Group within the gender, based on the athletes-to-slots ratio : the Age Group within the gender with the largest athletes-to-slots ratio will receive one of the reallocated slot, followed by the next largest ratio receiving one re-allocated slot (if applicable), and so on. Any unclaimed slots in the female category, will then be allocated as per the above procedure into the male categories. Please check the "Information Sheet" issued once you have accepted a slot allocation.
The administrative allocation of slots will be executed by the organisers.

Have Your Say on New Consumer Champion for Staffordshire
HEALTH and social care groups are being urged to have their say on how a new Staffordshire watchdog and consumer champion should be run.
Staffordshire will be one of 152 Local HealthWatch organisations across England and it was awarded Pathfinder status for Local HealthWatch in preparation for its launch in April next year.
Ministers want Local HealthWatch to be the "voice of local people". It will collect and analyse service user feedback which will be reported to HealthWatch England, the national body for HealthWatch, and it will pass concerns to politicians, officials and service providers.
This, they say, will allow patients and social care users to help shape services locally and nationally.
And the LINk is holding an event on Monday to tell health and social care groups across the county more about the project and to find out how they think the new organisation should be run.
Jackie Owen, manager at Staffordshire LINk, said: "It is so important we get this right for the sake of everyone involved – patients, service users and service providers.
"HealthWatch Staffordshire will give local people a direct line to policymakers and service providers and they will be able to change things for the benefit of users across the county and beyond.
"Staffordshire LINk has made fantastic strides over the last 18 months, gaining feedback from more and more groups and individuals and helping to bring about real changes. As Local HealthWatch, we would be able to give Staffordshire residents an even stronger voice."
Representatives of relevant groups can find out more about Local HealthWatch and have their say by talking to Staffordshire LINk representatives at the consultation event on Monday, March 12.
It takes place between 4pm and 7pm at the Arthur Findlay Centre, 96A Stone Road, Stafford.
Ms Owen added: "Any group with an interest should come along to the Stafford event.
"If you represent patients, carers, families, voluntary organisations or service providers we'd love to hear from you.
"The landscape of service provision will change dramatically over the next few years as budget restrictions take hold and new technology and new ways of working create new opportunities to overcome challenges.
"HealthWatch will play a vital part in preserving what needs to be preserved and making sure changes are for the better. But to do that we need the expertise and opinions of everyone involved.
"Getting this right from the start will place residents at the heart of local and national decision-making."
For more information about Staffordshire LINk, visit www.staffordshirelink.org.uk or call 01785 887990.

Notes to Editors
Staffordshire LINk actively pursues health and social care service user feedback.
The information is used to help shape service delivery – making the LINk a vital catalyst for positive change in Staffordshire.
Staffordshire LINk is funded through, but is independent of, Staffordshire County Council.
It covers services provided across the county council area. Stoke-on-Trent is covered by a separate LINk.
Staffordshire LINk is based at Staffordshire Technology Park in Stafford and it is run by volunteers and employees who are specially-trained or who have experience in health and social care provision.
Experts from Staffordshire LINk are available to comment on health and social care issues affecting Staffordshire residents.

Received a new BP [British Petroleum] card about 2002, when Amoco was bought by them. Stated I should now use the BP card. Promptly cut the Amoco card into little pieces and trashed.
Used the BP card about 1 or 2 times a year, just to keep it open. Paid off each statement.
In mid-September 2003, received a notice from a collection agency that I owed $16.00 to BP/Amoco. Promptly called the police and filled a report. Sent registered letters to BP and the collection agency stating that it was not my charge and that I had not received any bills either, for this charge.
Mid-October 2003, received a notice from a 2nd, different collection agency. Repeated steps above on mailing.
Late-October 2003, received a notice from CITI about my letters with copies of the 'supposed' statements that were sent to me Feb 03, March 03, April 03, May 03, June 03 and July 03 and a form to fill out with what I was disputing and it needed a notary republic stamp.
I had not received any of the statements - that were consequently mailed to the correct home address. The same address I have been at for 7 years and the same address the credit collection agency mailed me at.
I filled out the form and had it notarized and sent it registered.
In mid-November 2003, received a letter from a collection agency, this time representing CITI on this matter. Followed my the same mailing practices above again.
Yes - I have many, many little green cards from this - but nary a proper response from any of the companies listed above. No phone calls, no letters - nothing but little green cards from the post office that all my registered letters have been received.
Needless to say, they had reported this to the credit agencies months ago. Perfect credit record ruined. I just thank God that I had none of those 0% credit cards open at the time. As you all well know - those cards could have jacked up the interest rate, because I 'defaulted' on this card.
Sitting and waiting in TX for the next letter...

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year, and probably the earliest.
With stores advertising great deals, its no wonder people want to be first in line.
There were some pretty serious shoppers camping out Thursday night, and the most determined to get the bargains were waiting on deals at Best Buy.
They arrived around 4:30 or 5 p.m. more than 12 hours before the store even opens.
Otis Flournoy was proud to be the first chair in line, "I'm going to get everything I want," he says.
Flournoy wasn't the only devoted shopper. Mark Shelton arrived at Best Buy shortly after 5 p.m. because last year he wasn't as lucky with his spot in line. "I was actually here at Best Buy last year at 2 a.m, around corner and halfway down building."
Best Buy opens 5 a.m. Friday.

This included not only changing the individual settings on a large number of posts but also changing global settings to require a login, when I only was requiring approval of the first comment.
Is this a known bug? Something that went awry in my database? Or is my blog being hacked? And to what end?
I am also getting quite a number of registrations to my blog from e-mail addresses that aren't associated with anyone I know or who I think have any interest in its content. This suggests hacking.

US Supreme Court contradicts Gillard's warmists
Andrew Bolt –, Saturday, June, 25, 2011, (10:20am)
The US Supreme Court agrees: the science is indeed not settled, and carbon dioxide is a not pollution:
The justices of the United States Supreme Court this week became the world's most august global warming sceptics. Not by virtue of their legal reasoning – the global warming case they decided turned on a technical legal issue — but in their surprising commentary. Global warming is by no means a settled issue, they made clear, suggesting it would be foolhardy to assume it was.
"The court, we caution, endorses no particular view of the complicated issues related to carbon-dioxide emissions and climate change," reads the 8-0 decision, delivered by the court's acclaimed liberal, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
The court decision noted that the Environmental Protection Agency itself had "Acknowledg[ed] that not all scientists agreed on the causes and consequences of the rise in global temperatures," before suggesting readers consult "views opposing" the conventional wisdom. ...
Somewhat in the same vein, Justice Ginsburg notes carbon dioxide is necessary and ubiquitous, and thus shouldn't be the target of indiscriminate attacks. "After all, we each emit carbon dioxide merely by breathing," she notes...
The full judgement is here.
(Thanks to reader Ray and many others.)

Stockdale stays. But his four deputies…?
Andrew Bolt –, Saturday, June, 25, 2011, (9:43am)
It seems the Liberals prefer a team player who doesn't air ditry washing in public:
Alan Stockdale has been re-elected president of the Liberal Party.
Former Howard government frontbencher Peter Reith had challenged to be appointed the new president at the party's federal council meeting in Canberra.
But this does leave the party - and Stockdale - with a problem, given the indiscipline of his four vice-presidents earlier this week:
SENIOR Liberals last night accused the party's four vice-presidents of treachery after they sent out a stinging open letter claiming president Alan Stockdale had failed the party and called for change…
The party's vice-presidents - former foreign minister Alexander Downer, Victorian businessman Tom Harley, Queensland QC David Russell and West Australian business identity Danielle Blain - took the extraordinary step of trying to influence the outcome yestserday in an open letter.
In talking to journalists afterwards, Stockdale struggled to stop crying as he thanked the delegates.

Tax cuts vs compensation
Andrew Bolt –, Saturday, June, 25, 2011, (9:23am)
The battle lines on tax start to come into focus:
TONY Abbott is appealing to middle-income families and frustrated suburban commuters with a promise to provide tax cuts, new family payments and new transport priorities - instead of compensating voters for a carbon tax.
In his first major speech outlining political aims and policy directions since the election last August, the Opposition Leader tries to project a more positive and hopeful alternative to the Gillard government.
In contrast, Julia Gillard will today detail for the first time elements of Labor's carbon compensation package, saying the bulk of it - in permanent tax cuts, pension increases and increased family payments - will go to households earning well under $150,000...
So a lot of families will be belted:
JULIA Gillard has indicated that most families on incomes above $150,000 will miss out on compensation under the proposed carbon tax plan to be unveiled next month.

Naughty Master Jones
Andrew Bolt –, Saturday, June, 25, 2011, (9:09am)
ABC presenter Tony Jones surprises no one:
I was involved in a generation that went out in the streets, turned cars over during the Vietnam War.
Well, surprises no one about his politics. But about the facts…
Gerard Henderson:
Go on. How many cars did Young Mr Jones and his mates turn over during the Vietnam War? ... According to the Newington College Register of Past Students, Tony Jones attended this private school in Sydney between 1970 and 1974. This suggests that he was born circa 1956. All Australian combat troops were withdrawn from Vietnam by the end of 1971 – around this time Master Jones was in Year 9.
It would be radical and oh so exciting to envisage Master Jones (aged 15) dressed in his Newington College uniform busy over-turning other people's cars in the streets of Stanmore. We'll take that as a fantasy.

Column - If the mighty West can't topple even a Gaddafi…
Andrew Bolt –, Saturday, June, 25, 2011, (9:02am)
LIBYA should be a doddle to fight. It has fewer than seven million people, no functioning air force and an army that dictator Muammar Gaddafi has to prop up with mercenaries.
Since March 17, this puny country has been attacked by the combined forces of the United States, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, Norway, Sweden and Britain. The pride of the West.
Yet three months later? Gaddafi is still in power and the rebels that this NATO air operation was meant to help are still not close to kicking him out.
If you wanted a symbol of the shambolic decline of Western power and will, here it is.
It's embarrassing. Britain's Royal Air Force commander, Air Chief Marshal Sir Simon Bryant, has even warned that this small war is such an effort that there will be serious consequences if it drags on.
The US Defence Secretary complained that some of the European allies have even run out of ammunition, and others—like Germany—won't lift a finger.
The US itself won't take a lead role in the fighting, it's so short of cash and will, and Italy this week cried basta—asking NATO to call a ceasefire for humanitarian reasons.
What a circus. Meanwhile the ostensible reason the United Nations gave for authorising this operation—to stop the killing of civilians—has turned into the feature of it, with NATO's bombs accidentally killing the very people it meant to protect.
To rub in this humiliating powerlessness of the West, Gaddafi has indulged in jeering stunts, like playing chess on television with the president of the World Chess Federation.
Of course, Gaddafi may yet fall. His power has been greatly weakened, and he's propped up only by the oil billions he's squirrelled away. NATO may yet manage to drop a bomb on his head.
But as a showcase of Western will, this sucks.
To underline that message of decline, US President Barack Obama this week announced he'd pull all combat forces from Afghanistan by 2014, 13 years after the US and its allies went in to topple the Taliban.

Column - Hypocrites make an example of Monckton
Andrew Bolt –, Saturday, June, 25, 2011, (8:51am)
WHAT hypocrites. What cowards. And, yes, I'm talking about the witch-hunters now vilifying sceptic Lord Christopher Monckton.
Beware. These people are trying to shut up not just Monckton, but you—and not just with "jokes" of having you tattooed and gassed.
True, Monckton, a British mathematician, has made a fool of himself and trouble for his allies by accusing the Gillard Government's global warming guru, Professor Ross Garnaut, of having "a fascist point of view".
His point was that Garnaut was telling Australians to simply trust the authorities—even when some of their key claims about man-made global warming had been proven false.
Remember Climate Change Minister Penny Wong wrongly blaming man-made warming for the drought in southern Australia that is now over?
Remember Climate Commissioner Tim Flannery wrongly claiming man-made warming had made the soil too hot, "so even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and river systems"?
Remember the ABC's chief science presenter, Adjunct Professor Robyn Williams, wrongly claiming man-made warming could cause the seas to rise this century by up to 100m?
Remember the warmists wrongly claiming the world's temperature would rise this past decade, the Barrier Reef would now bleach every second year and the seas would rise by two or three times the present rate?
Forget it all. Do not question the scientists! "The science is settled."
We must, says Garnaut, accept the "mainstream" science of climate change.
That argument-by-authority is what Monckton objected to at a meeting in California this month.
"That again is a fascist point of view, that you merely accept authority without question. Heil Hitler, on we go," he said.
That "Heil Hitler" was unwise. So was the slide Monckton showed of a big Nazi symbol over Garnaut's title. The jibe was extreme and very offensive. It cheapened an important point.
Monckton is prone to such hyperbole. But this time it came at precisely the right time for the warmists behind a hysterical campaign to shut up debate here.
I don't just mean the Government's cowardly policy to never debate sceptics, but the concerted effort to portray those "knuckledraggers"—as Science Minister Kim Carr calls them—as so prone to lunacy and violence that no civilised person could reason with them. Thus the exaggerated claims this month of scientists getting "death threats" of the kind the rest of us don't publicise.
Chief Scientist Ian Chubb has illustrated the tactic—and the agenda.

So which ex-Premier would you actually want as Prime Minister?
Andrew Bolt –, Saturday, June, 25, 2011, (8:42am)
But the real problem is thinking of state premiers who'd make a good prime minister - especially given that by the time they're ready to move, their sins are being found out:
FORMER NSW premier Bob Carr says federal politics operates like a cosy club, blocking successful outsiders from coming in to replenish the Canberra talent pool.
According to one-time West Australian premier Geoff Gallop, it's "a structural problem in our political system" that was recognised by Bill Clinton during a visit here a decade ago.
"Australia does not have a fluid system to move state leaders into national leadership," Mr Carr told The Weekend Australian. "In Australia, federal parliamentary parties are like clubs that have an in-built defensiveness about outsiders coming in...."
As Ms Gillard and her government languish in the opinion polls and struggle with major policy issues, there is renewed speculation that successful former state leaders could be parachuted into Canberra to bolster Labor's ranks.
Names mentioned in recent days in Labor circles of those who might hold Canberra ambitions, now or in the future, include former Queensland premier Peter Beattie, former NSW premier Morris Iemma, one-time Victorian premier Steve Bracks, Mr Carr and Dr Gallop.
Five Labor premiers being touted as a leader of national Labor? They must be desperately short of leadership material in Canberra.

How dare the Government ban competition with its white elephant
Andrew Bolt –, Saturday, June, 25, 2011, (8:30am)
Terry McCrann is astonished by the no-compete clause that the Gillard Government demanded from Telstra:
THE entire basis of the National Broadband Network has been exposed as fundamentally unsound by the "wireless non-compete" clause in the deal between NBN Co and Telstra.
At its simplest, it's a clause that is completely unacceptable and arguably illegal… Broadly, but simply and accurately, NBN Co and Telstra agree not to compete. Worse, NBN Co is actually paying Telstra for that agreement.
Indeed the Communications Minister himself no less, Stephen Conroy, all but put it in exactly those terms on Melbourne's MTR radio yesterday.
He explained, indeed justified, the non-compete clause as being a "perfectly sensible corporate decision". "A commercial arrangement." That Telstra agreed not to "take NBN Co's money and sledge (the) NBN"....
The relevant clause in the deal is that Telstra can't promote "wireless services as a substitute for fibre-based services for 20 years". But it otherwise remained free to compete in the market for the supply of wireless services....
Right now Telstra might not want to sell wireless broadband instead of fixed fibre. But in 10 years?…
The promoters of the NBN keep saying that wireless just can't compete with fixed fibre… That only fibre can give the sustained guaranteed speed; that wireless degrades quickly depending how far you move from the base station and how many are hooked up and what they are downloading.
That's all true. At least it is, right now. But in 10 or even five years' time? The science of physics might be "settled". But the technology of data compression might not be.

She can't even be frank about her deceit
Andrew Bolt –, Saturday, June, 25, 2011, (8:16am)
Julia Gillard evades the truth. She didn't mislead us about "carbon pricing" but about a "carbon tax":
JULIA Gillard has declined to apologise for her pre-election declaration that "there will be no carbon tax under the government I lead" ...
Asked yesterday why she didn't just apologise, the Prime Minister said: "I've explained, of course, to the Australian people that I never meant to mislead anybody during the last election campaign about carbon pricing".

Recent Bailey Island reviews
"This was our first "family" vacation that all four generations were in attendance. Parents, children, grandchildren, & great grandchildren. 20 of us to be exact, with five of those being under the age of 10. I can't say enough about Sarah and her willingness to help me plan and iron out details for this vacation. She was so kind and helpful throughout the nine month planning process. The house was more than big enough to accommodate our large group. We had evening meals in the great room with all 20 of us sitting around the two large tables. We came from Pennsylvania where it had been hot and typically 100% humidity. The relief of cool air, low humidity, open windows, and no air conditioning was a much welcome break for all us. The short walk to the beach was not an issue, even for my parents who are in their late 70's. The children all found sea shells, sea glass, sand dollars, and had so much fun walking out to the "island" when the tide was out. We walked along The Giant Stairs, visited The Candy Store, Land's End Gift Store, and were able to rent paddle boards for the week. There were plenty of sand toys at the house for the kids who had a fierce sand castle competition. The kitchen was more than adequately stocked with plenty of dishes, flatware, pots, pans, etc. There were two coffee pots, which was great for such a large group. The yard is extremely large and was perfect for the kids. The adults were even conned into a game of wiffle ball. If you want chocolates on your pillow, fancy restaurants, and high end shopping, this isn't the place for you. But, if you want a vacation where curling up with a book on a nice front porch, listening to wind blow through pine trees, and kids giggling in the yard is the ordinary day, this is your place. If morning walks on a quiet beach is more appealing than a bustling boardwalk, this is your place. We had a fabulous vacation. Thank you Sarah for help making that happen."Guest: Gloria S.

"We had a great time staying at the house, as soon as we got there we realized that the pictures online don't make justice to the house. The house is way better in real life. We had a little hipcup at the beginning with the hot water not running, but Ardell and Mike did everything in their power to fix it and did the right thing by us; besides that, we loved our stay in Harpswell, everything was so peaceful, beautiful sunrises and amazing sunsets, Portland, Freeport and so many other places to explore are within 25-30 minutes away or less. We went whale watching, we were surrounded by whales, it was amazing!!, Our boxer Ginger and our little one year old Kaylee enjoyed our little walks by the beach, we kayaked, were able to enjoy ourselves thanks to Grandpa being there ;) We will definitely be coming back. We <3 Maine."Guest: Lisset D. Date of Stay: June 2016 Review Submitted: July 8, 2016View listing
"The Gills could not be anymore charming and comfortable, and the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing week with family & friends. The attention to detail was amazing and found myself roaming the house just looking at everything which really pulled in the essence of Maine and Bailey's Island. The ocean views are spectacular and were especially enjoyed from the large deck around the house, with swinging chair. Their is a secret swimming hole right out front of the house where we spent our afternoons jumping from rocks. The house was very clean, the beds super comfortable and I think the upstairs shower is now one of my favorites ever. Staying at the Gills really made our vacation one of the best ever and can not wait to comeback!"Guest: Debi H. Date of Stay: September 2015 Review Submitted: September 22, 2015View listing
"What an amazing week we had! Traveling with babies and great grandparents can be stressful. We didn't experience a second of worry once we at the house. Everything you need is there. I love books, and every room was filled. We were also able to paddle board, raft, and puddle jump with the kids. The amenities are as stated. You won't regret anything; especially if you love a beautiful view, great house, perfect appliances and an Island you will go back to again and again. We have already rebooked another week in 2016. This is our THIRD visit to the house!!"Guest: Pamela H. Date of Stay: September 2015 Review Submitted: July 14, 2016View listing

REGION: Opening delayed for last leg of I-15 express lanes
Car-poolers and fee-paying motorists will have to wait a bit longer to use the last stretch of Interstate 15 Express Lanes in Escondido.
Recent wet weather has delayed the Jan. 9 opening planned for the 4-mile leg of the Escondido express lanes, from Centre City Parkway to Highway 78, a transportation spokesman said on Friday.
The delay will be "about a week or so," added Hayden Manning, spokesman for the California Department of Transportation, or Caltrans.
No date had been rescheduled for the opening as of Friday, he said.
Once it opens, the Escondido stretch will complete the $1.3 billion "expressway within a freeway" project. It's expected to relieve some of the massive traffic bottleneck at the I-15/Highway 78 junction.
Sixteen miles of express lanes are already open from south Escondido to Mira Mesa. Buses, motorcyclists, car-pools, vanpools, and solo drivers willing to pay a fee are allowed in the express lanes.
Transportation officials had planned a Jan. 7 ribbon cutting for the Escondido stretch. That ceremony has been pushed back, too, the Manning said.
Construction crews in last month installed several large express lanes signs across the interstate in Escondido, in preparation for the opening.
They also continued work on a concrete barrier between the northbound and southbound express lanes.
Caltrans only opens the express lanes to all traffic in emergencies or when an accident forces the closure of the outside lanes.
Mother Nature may be conspiring to delay the express lanes opening even further: Forecasters are calling for a chance of more rain on Saturday, Sunday and on Thanksgiving Day.

Vishwaroopam: Kamal on the verge of getting back his mortgaged house
Vishwaroopam never seemed like a safe bet as the movie exceeded the budget to reach Rs 95 crore. Considering the limited Tamil market, the film released with lots of controversies with the state government banning the film in the state fearing law and order issues after a few Muslim groups raised objection claiming that the film hurts the sentiments of their community.
Having made with the huge budget, the good opening was a must for Vishwaroopam in order to recover the production cost. But as the things took shocking turns during the release, it appeared like the film would bomb at the Box office putting Kamal into financial troubles. What was more shocking was that the Universal Star had mortgaged his Chennai residence to get loan to invest on the film and the film's fate would have eventually decided his future too!
However, Kamal Hassan fans and Tamil audience, as always, stood by him and gave wonderful response to bail him out of the crisis. "In order to pay the moneylender, I have re-mortgaged my house. But this time with a nationalised bank and the payment terms are standard and fairly easy there. With the film garnering enough revenue, I hope to get back the house soon," the Times of India quotes the actor as saying. Continue reading the article on the slideshow...

Pixability is a thriving Web video marketing company -- but it wasn't always that way, writes founder Bettina Hein. The company started off as a home-video production company, almost failed, and reached a "seismic pivot point" when Hein realized she had to change her strategy. The pivot, combined with a careful scouting of the potential for the new direction, helped Hein steer Pixability to an eightfold increase in revenue in less than a year.

I need some help, ladies! I'm wanting to use the cupcake holders from Wilton to make them into the shape of a fish using the set of puzzle cakes that have a bear, fish & turtle. I don't have the instructions anymore, do any of you know what I am talking about and can help me figure out how to put the pieces together? Thanks so much in advance!!!!

I'll use the same id system that Wilton uses which is A=fan shaped, B= diamond, C= half moon and D= circle.
Starting with the head of the fish and working left to right use a B then two A's,another B, then two more Bs which aren't flush to the previous B or to each other, and finally for the tail fin two A's. Also use Bs for the dorsal and pelvic fins. And of course us the round ones for the bubbles. I hope this helps-- its very hard to describe in writing and probably even harder to understand!

Psalms Questions
Bring on the tough stuff - there's not just one right answer.
- Why is this book written in verse (poetry)? Would the message be different if it were written in prose?
- How does Psalms interpret the figure of God? Are the ideas it offers conflicting or contradictory in any way? How is the God of Psalms different than the God of other books of the Bible?
- What's the role of your average Israelite citizen in the text? Is he forever doomed to be out of favor with God?
- Is Psalms at all like modern day music, poetry, and song? What rhetorical devices does Psalms utilize that are still in use today? Oh, and while we're at it, why is poetry so awesome?
- How does the book understand the Israelites' enemies? Is Psalms seeking a peaceful resolution of conflict or something more final?
- How can an atheist understand these poems? Are they still valuable to someone who doesn't believe in God?
- Why have the Psalms endured for as long as they have? Is it something about the language or the content? Or was this text just in the right place at the right time?
- What do you think: in modern day interpretations and retellings of the Psalms, have the poems lost their original meanings?
- Which particular Psalms carry the most poetic weight? Religious weight?
