Williston celebrates peanuts
Published: Saturday, October 1, 2011 at 5:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 1, 2011 at 5:32 p.m.
Williston — In terms of sales, Saturday's Williston Peanut Festival was pretty small peanuts for Doyle Shamblin, but he wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Photo Galleries
Shamblin, from Belleview in southern Marion County, owns seven peanut sales trucks under the name Steve's Famous Peanuts. He boils and roasts his own legumes and sends his trucks throughout the Southeast. He sells about 200,000 pounds a year, and they are all grown in the Williston area.
"It's been a good day. We're selling lots of peanuts today," Shamblin said. "The people from the South like boiled, the people from the North like roasted. And we sell a lot of redskin peanuts. Just about everybody likes some kind peanut, and those who don't like peanut butter."
The peanut festival, held the first Saturday in October for 23 years, is the major fundraiser for the Williston Chamber of Commerce. This year's iteration was the biggest in term of vendors and crowds, said chamber Executive Director Mary Kline.
About 135 vendors — selling clothing, crafts, food, jewelry and other times — lined seven blocks of downtown Williston along U.S. 41. A kids' area included carnival rides and other activities. Meanwhile, a king and queen of the festival were chosen.
"It's probably the biggest event we've had to date," Kline said. "We've expanded the number of vendors. We estimate we usually have between 5,000 and 7,000 people, but this year I think we exceeded that by quite a bit."
Williston and Levy County were once the largest peanut producer in the South and now rank fourth, Kline said. Peanuts, along with watermelon and cattle, are still a major industry for Williston and the surrounding area, she added.
Not only does Williston produce a lot of peanuts, they are good goobers, Shamblin said. His next big event will be the Georgia State National Fair in Perry — an 11-day extravaganza at which he sells a lot of peanuts.
But Shamblin does not buy many peanuts in Georgia, which is a major growing state.
"I don't want to talk bad about Georgia, but Williston peanuts are better," Shamblin said.
And peanuts are a star of the show at the festival. Peanuts are in art, on clothing. There are peanut statues and products made from peanuts.
Jim Carr was buying bags of them at the request of his wife and niece.
A native of Illinois, Carr said he had never tried boiled peanuts until a few years ago.
"I've been commanded to come here and buy plenty of boiled peanuts," he said. "I'm a transplanted Southerner. Boiled peanuts — they're different."

In the wake of Wednesday's horrifying murder in Woolwich of Drummer Lee Rigby, hard questions are now being asked about what, if anything, could have been done to prevent the attack — and how future such outrages can be avoided. We now know that both suspects, Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale, were known to MI5, while there is video footage of Adebolajo at extremist demonstrations. MI5 decided the men did not represent a threat. We now need to re-assess such decisions — and the powers and resources that the security forces have.
The difficulty is in responding to "DIY" terrorism of this sort: it involves a more challenging task of surveillance than centrally directed attacks such as 9/11. Even the 7/7 bombings in London involved terrorists who had received training in Pakistan. The Woolwich killing appears to be a different case — though we do know that Adebolajo associated with the now-banned group al-Muhajiroun.
Figures including Lord West, the former security adviser, and Lord Carlile, the former independent reviewer of terror laws, are urging ministers to revisit the Communications Data Bill. Abandoned last month under Liberal-Democrat pressure, the Bill would have required internet service providers to store the time and duration of website visits as well as the time and recipient of emails and messages — though not their content — for use by security agencies. It was attacked by critics as a "snoopers' charter"; ministers said it would make it easier to link suspects to each other and to militant groups. We may well now need to reconsider such powers.
Yet it is also important to recognise that they might not have made any difference in this case: MI5 already knew about Adebolajo's extremism. To track and assess such radicals presents a huge challenge in terms of resources. In the end, the Muslim community has a responsibility to be alert to the signs of radicalisation of such young men. And the security services and police must have the resources they need to stop the extremists.
Tube strife
The threat by Tube union bosses to stage "the biggest strike in a generation" should be seen for what it is — a bargaining tool in the unions' ongoing battle with London Underground management. The threat follows Tory Assembly members calling for the reform of Tube workers' generous pensions and perks, notably free travel. There are as yet no changes proposed to the final salary pension scheme, though its costs have soared in recent years. New entrants to schemes elsewhere in the public sector have had to accept less generous arrangements.
The unions' threat does, however, underline the continued fractious state of industrial relations on the network. This week the Mayor was forced to accept that he has failed in his bid to persuade ministers to toughen up strike laws. Yet TfL has weathered recent strikes much better than in the past, albeit still with inconvenience to commuters. The Tube has to change: new confrontations may be the price we have to accept for that process.
Bratwurst weekend
Germans were already one of London's largest immigrant communities, but tomorrow's all-German Champions' League final at Wembley between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich is bringing a new surge of black-red-and-gold-clad fans to the capital. We look forward to an exciting game between the rejuvenated Bundesliga's best teams. And if bratwurst and beer are required to enter into the spirit of things, so be it.

Paul Kelly & The Stormwater Boys
Kelly immediately established himself as his peers' favorite songwriter. On nights off, Melbourne's musicians went to see him. He also had a big fan at Mushroom Records. One of the company's PR people locked herself in a room, refusing to come out until Mushroom signed Paul Kelly & the Dots. The result was two roots rock albums, Talk and Manila, that Kelly himself was never completely happy with, for he was a perfectionist. By late 1984, Kelly had broken up the Dots and moved to Sydney, where he recorded a defining solo album called Post. Without a record contract and no real idea how the album was going to be released, Post was recorded over two weeks on a shoestring budget, delivering the essence of Paul Kelly in a loosely structured song cycle signposting Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney place names the way Springsteen speaks of New Jersey. On the strength of that album, Mushroom picked up Kelly's contract again, and the singer formed a new group, Paul Kelly & the Coloured Girls (a reference to Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side").
In September 1986, Kelly's songwriting skills spilled over four sides of the 14-song double album Gossip. Recorded in just a month, the classic Australian rock album attained gold sales and produced the hit singles "Darling It Hurts" and "Before Too Long." The album included three re-recorded songs from Post. Gossip was also the record that introduced Kelly to American audiences when it was released by A&M Records in July 1987, edited down to a 15-song single album. In the meantime, the group returned to the studio to record a collection of 14 new Kelly originals for its second Australian album, Under the Sun. To avoid misunderstandings, the group changed its name to Paul Kelly & the Messengers with the release of July 1989's So Much Water, So Close to Home album. The new album was produced by Scott Litt of R.E.M. notoriety and its songs were colored by American influences and experiences. After one more album, Comedy, Kelly decided the group had gone as far as it could, and to avoid the risk of repeating themselves, he dissolved the Messengers with a farewell tour.
For the next two years, Kelly recharged his batteries with a set of diverse activities, like performing in Australia and America, producing the groundbreaking Charcoal Lane album by aboriginal songwriter Archie Roach, collaborating on Yothu Yindi's "Treaty," writing songs for his acting role in the stage play Funerals and Circuses about racial tensions in small-town Australia, and releasing his first book of poetry, Lyrics. His second studio solo album, 1994's Wanted Man, spread his musical influences as wide as his activities. His 1997 greatest-hits album Songs from the South sold double platinum. In 1999, he delivered two very different albums at the same time, a bluegrass album with Uncle Bill called Smoke and a technology-influenced album as part of a new group, Professor Ratbaggy. Kelly stayed prolific in the 21st century, releasing Nothing But a Dream in 2001, the double-disc Ways & Means in 2004, the bluegrass-inflected Foggy Highway in 2005, and Dirt in 2006. ~ Ed Nimmervoll, Rovi

Al Libby - Fully Empire
Posted on 27th July 2012
Al Libby
Fully Empire cd
Here is an unusual one in many respects. First, Al Libby is a singer-songwriter that I have long liked, even though he rarely plays and is entirely local. I've seen him opening in small gigs and at open mic nights — not exactly The Big Time. But he always struck me as unusual in those contexts. He, first of all, is not a folk singer, which makes him stand out at open mics. Sure, he stands up there with an acoustic guitar and sings songs he has written, but, boy, they don't have folk roots. This I regard as a Good Thing.
He now has an album. It is on Soundcloud (http://soundcloud.com/allibby). It is called Fully Empire and has ten songs including the 23-second intro, Welcome.
After downloading Fully Empire into iTunes and playing it like an album, my opinion of Al remains pretty much the same: he is interesting and has the head of a real artist. Though Fully Empire is pretty much just Al – there are a few odd noises here and there that might be someone else, might be him – and he is not a virtuoso guitarist, nevertheless the album has a strong identity, a unique sense of songcraft, some really bizarre lyrics, with a lot suggested, left to your imagination.
It plays not like a folk or Americana or sensitive singer-songwriter album, but like an intelligent pop/rock album. Sometimes his tunes sound uncannily like early Peter Townshend (Dressed Like A Deacon), sometimes maybe like Jethro Tull, maybe Syd Barrett, even solo-era John Lennon and so on, including probably some newer influences I can't think of. And, did I say, his lyrics are surreal and intriguing. I'd like to see a lyric sheet.
Mostly, Fully Empire is not banal, imitative, derivative or formulaic. And that, believe me, is a rare thing.
What it does sound like is a demo. You could not say it is well-recorded, tightly played or fantastically arranged. It does suggest these things, though, in the way a demo does. It's kind of nice to listen to something that is not perfect, even if I'd generally like to hear the voice a bit higher in the mix. But I'll take creativity over musicianship any day, and Al is first to the post on that one. Check it out; it's free! Then wait for Al to get a band... Oh, don't bother, just go see him if you see his name.

Aussie surges, kiwi stands still with eyes on major banks
On Monday, the Australian dollar traded higher against its major American counterpart, while the New Zealand dollar stood still as market participants prepared for the Fed's as well as the BOJ's upcoming monetary policy gathering this week.
The currency pair AUD/USD soared 0.23%, hitting 0.7482, still close to Friday's two-and-a-half week minimums of 0.7439.
Positive American data published that week backed expectations for a rate surge by the US major bank in the near future.
While most traders expect the Fed to leave its monetary policy intact this week, it could provide hints on the timing of future rate lifts.
The currency pair NZD/USD stood almost intact at 0.6995, not far from Thursday's one-and-a-half month minimums of 0.6948.
Apart from that, traders were also looking ahead to Friday's monetary policy statement by the Bank of Japan amid surging expectations for the announcement of extra stimulus measures.

MINNEAPOLIS Luke Ridnour has been practicing with the Timberwolves this week after missing much of the preseason with a herniated disk in his back. Although a problem like that for a veteran like Ridnour at 31, this will be his 10th season in the league could be a nagging issue, the point guard has assured coach Rick Adelman that he feels great.And that's that.At this point, it'll likely take a hard spill to knock Ridnour back onto the bench, Adelman said, and it seems like things are progressing toward him being able to start at point guard on opening night. Ridnour isn't necessarily yet where he'd like to be, but he's practicing, doing extra work, and getting his conditioning and timing back to where they need to be. Adelman said that he's noticed more of Ridnour's shots falling lately as he gets back into the rhythm of the game, and having him healthy by Friday would be huge for the team. It seems like no matter what, the Timberwolves' roster is loaded with point guards, yet there's always a concern about who's going to go at that position. Last year, mass incredulity and Ridnour trade rumors followed the team's signing J.J. Barea, but by April, Barea was starting with Ricky Rubio and Ridnour injured. Malcolm Lee, who'd just had knee surgery in December and was hardly playing an NBA-caliber game, was backing him up. It was hardly ideal.Which brings us to the fall of 2012. Rubio is still out. Ridnour is easing his way back in. Lee missed much of the summer with re-aggravated knee issues and much of training camp with a groin problem, and the one training camp invitee who remains on the opening day roster is (You guessed it!) a point guard, Will Conroy.If Ridnour's back were to flare up again, there might actually be a very real need for Conroy, who's played the majority of his pro career in the D-League and overseas. But at this point, Adelman doesn't know enough about Lee to rely on him, except perhaps in specific scenarios."I think right now we would look for Will just because he's played more (than Malcolm)," Adelman said. "That would depend too on the situation, because Malcolm is really good defensively. If you're going up against guys that give us problems, he might be the guy you go with."With no chance of seeing Rubio in the next month, Adelman will have to work with what he has on hand, and while that might seem like a challenge, he's used to it. Yes, the Timberwolves' collapse last season was linked to Rubio's injury, but it wasn't due to poor point guard play. Barea and Ridnour aren't Rubio, but they held their own, and really, they were some of the team's best and most resilient players in the season's difficult final days."I think they're really important for us to get off to a good start," Adelman said. "They each give us something different. So I think you know, J.J.'s always been great with changing the tempo of the game. A lot of stuff we're going to do is going to be the same for both of them, but they each give us something different."Extension time: In what was already a foregone conclusion, the Timberwolves announced Tuesday that they'd picked up the third-year options on the contracts of Ricky Rubio and Derrick Williams. The deadline to do so is Wednesday, hence the timing, and the only surprise would have been if they hadn't done so.Williams will make 4.8 million this season and 5.0 million next year. Rubio is set to earn 3.7 million this year and 4.0 million next.Brandon Roy's minutes: After sitting out on Monday, Roy returned to the court on Tuesday for a scrimmage-heavy practice. Adelman admitted he was hesitant to let Roy play at first, but Roy insisted he was fine and performed as such. Adelman described Roy's knee issue as "a little bit of irritation," and though with the shooting guard's history it might seem like reason to pause (or panic), the coach remained optimistic.Adelman said that he hasn't yet reached a final target for Roy's minutes, but he's leaning toward a range from 30-32. The biggest trick, he said, will be to see how long Roy can rest without getting stiff and therefore unable to return to the game.Starting power forward: Adelman gave no outright indication of who might get the start at power forward on Friday. The leading contenders are Dante Cunningham and Derrick Williams, though there's an outside chance that Andrei Kirilenko might start there at some point. Any decision Adelman makes will be subject to change depending on matchups, obviously. He did offer one hint at his leanings, though: When asked what he's looking for most at the position, Adelman said that defense and energy will be most valuable. And then he added this:"D-Will gives us that option where he's more of a scorer, has more versatility. Dante is such an energy guy, a rebounder, defender."My money is on Cunningham.Baby boomer TV: When asked whether he'd be tuning in to any of tonight's NBA games, Adelman asked what day it is (Tuesday), and then explained that NCIS is on, so maybe not. Of course it was all in good fun, and you've got to know he'll be at least looking at the scores, but here's the bigger question: Why are 85 of baby boomers obsessed with NCIS? My parents DVR every single episode, despite its constant rerun loop. They watch them all, and they're emotionally invested like nothing I've ever seen before. There has to be a larger sociological study here.Follow Joan Niesen on Twitter.

A look at the things we're most excited about watching, reading, browsing, and listening to:
Angela Merkel has served formal notice that she will lead the German wandering away from the American alliance.
Seven years after the end of the Second World War, on the 10th of March 1952, the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and the newly established Federal Republic of Germany received an astounding note from the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union offered to withdraw the troops that then occupied eastern Germany and to end its rule over the occupied zone. Germany would be reunited under a constitution that allowed the country freedom to choose its own social system. Germany would even be allowed to rebuild its military, and all Germans except those convicted of war crimes would regain their political rights. In return, the Allied troops in western Germany would also be withdrawn—and reunited Germany would be forbidden to join the new NATO alliance.
As Republicans in Congress try to fend off the flurry of scandals, they are haunted by a question: Is this as good as it's going to get?
The speaker of the House strode to his lectern on a recent Thursday to confront another totally normal day on Capitol Hill: health care, tax reform, a president under investigation, rumblings of impeachment.
"Morning, everybody!" Paul Ryan chirped. "Busy week!"
It was indeed: Less than a day had passed since the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate Russia's involvement in the presidential campaign; just a few hours since President Trump angrily tweeted that the investigation was "the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history!"; and only minutes since the Russia-linked former national-security adviser, Michael Flynn, had begun defying congressional subpoenas. A few days prior, the president had been accused of revealing sensitive intelligence information to the Russian foreign minister.
Should you drink more coffee? Should you take melatonin? Can you train yourself to need less sleep? A physician's guide to sleep in a stressful age.
During residency, I worked hospital shifts that could last 36 hours, without sleep, often without breaks of more than a few minutes. Even writing this now, it sounds to me like I'm bragging or laying claim to some fortitude of character. I can't think of another type of self-injury that might be similarly lauded, except maybe binge drinking. Technically the shifts were 30 hours, the mandatory limit imposed by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, but we stayed longer because people kept getting sick. Being a doctor is supposed to be about putting other people's needs before your own. Our job was to power through.
The shifts usually felt shorter than they were, because they were so hectic. There was always a new patient in the emergency room who needed to be admitted, or a staff member on the eighth floor (which was full of late-stage terminally ill people) who needed me to fill out a death certificate. Sleep deprivation manifested as bouts of anger and despair mixed in with some euphoria, along with other sensations I've not had before or since. I remember once sitting with the family of a patient in critical condition, discussing an advance directive—the terms defining what the patient would want done were his heart to stop, which seemed likely to happen at any minute. Would he want to have chest compressions, electrical shocks, a breathing tube? In the middle of this, I had to look straight down at the chart in my lap, because I was laughing. This was the least funny scenario possible. I was experiencing a physical reaction unrelated to anything I knew to be happening in my mind. There is a type of seizure, called a gelastic seizure, during which the seizing person appears to be laughing—but I don't think that was it. I think it was plain old delirium. It was mortifying, though no one seemed to notice.
She lived with us for 56 years. She raised me and my siblings without pay. I was 11, a typical American kid, before I realized who she was.
The ashes filled a black plastic box about the size of a toaster. It weighed three and a half pounds. I put it in a canvas tote bag and packed it in my suitcase this past July for the transpacific flight to Manila. From there I would travel by car to a rural village. When I arrived, I would hand over all that was left of the woman who had spent 56 years as a slave in my family's household.
In his new book, Ben Sasse has identified the right project for America: rehabilitating a shared moral language.
In just two short years, Senator Ben Sasse has gone from Capitol Hill newbie to digital president puncher, tweeting about Donald Trump's affairs and the Midwestern dumpster fires he found more appealing than 2016's Oval Office contenders.
Yet, on his breaks from Twitter, Sasse managed to craft a serious new book, The Vanishing American Adult. It advances a thesis that's at once out of place at this political moment and almost too on-the-nose for the Trump years: He believes Americans have lost their sense of personal integrity and discipline. For the country to deal with the troubles ahead—including automation, political disengagement, and the rise of nativist, huckster politicians, he says—people must recover their sense of virtue. The republic depends on it.
In the next two months, Congress will have to raise the debt ceiling and pass a budget. GOP leaders don't know how they're going to do either of them.
There's nothing that united Republicans more tightly during the Obama years than their shared criticism of all the debt that racked up under the president's watch. They raised political hell every time Democrats needed to raise the debt ceiling, and in 2011 they brought the country to the brink of default by insisting on spending and reforms in exchange for their votes.
This year, however, it's all on them.
Trump administration officials told lawmakers this week that the Treasury Department would need authority to issue more debt earlier than expected this year, urging Congress to act before its traditional summer recess begins in August. Republican leaders initially believed they would have until the fall before the Treasury Department exhausted the "extraordinary measures" it undertakes to buy more time, but Trump's budget director, Mick Mulvaney, testified that tax receipts have come in slower that expected.
The condition has long been considered untreatable. Experts can spot it in a child as young as 3 or 4. But a new clinical approach offers hope.
This is a good day, Samantha tells me: 10 on a scale of 10. We're sitting in a conference room at the San Marcos Treatment Center, just south of Austin, Texas, a space that has witnessed countless difficult conversations between troubled children, their worried parents, and clinical therapists. But today promises unalloyed joy. Samantha's mother is visiting from Idaho, as she does every six weeks, which means lunch off campus and an excursion to Target. The girl needs supplies: new jeans, yoga pants, nail polish.

At 11, Samantha is just over 5 feet tall and has wavy black hair and a steady gaze. She flashes a smile when I ask about her favorite subject (history), and grimaces when I ask about her least favorite (math). She seems poised and cheerful, a normal preteen. But when we steer into uncomfortable territory—the events that led her to this juvenile-treatment facility nearly 2,000 miles from her family—Samantha hesitates and looks down at her hands. "I wanted the whole world to myself," she says. "So I made a whole entire book about how to hurt people."
It's known as a modern-day hub of progressivism, but its past is one of exclusion.
PORTLAND, Ore.— Victor Pierce has worked on the assembly line of a Daimler Trucks North America plant here since 1994. But he says that in recent years he's experienced things that seem straight out of another time. White co-workers have challenged him to fights, mounted "hangman's nooses" around the factory, referred to him as "boy" on a daily basis, sabotaged his work station by hiding his tools, carved swastikas in the bathroom, and written the word "nigger" on walls in the factory, according to allegations filed in a complaint to the Multnomah County Circuit Court in February of 2015.
Pierce is one of six African Americans working in the Portland plant whom the lawyer Mark Morrell is representing in a series of lawsuits against Daimler Trucks North America. The cases have been combined and a trial is scheduled for January of 2017.
A century and a half after the Civil War, Mayor Mitch Landrieu asked his city to reexamine its past—and to wrestle with hard truths.
Mayor Mitch Landrieu of New Orleans has revived the genre of Memorial Day orations. In his widely read and re-played speech of May 19, 2017, defending his leadership of the removal of four prominent public monuments, one to Reconstruction era white supremacist violence, and the other three to Confederate leaders, Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, and P. G. T. Beauregard, Landrieu eloquently tried to pull the Confederacy once and for all – at least in New Orleans – down from its pedestals. He beautifully labeled his city "a bubbling cauldron of many cultures," expressing its ancient roots in many Native American peoples; in at least two European empires; in African, Irish, Italian, French, and many other ethnic lineages; and of course in cuisine, jazz and "second lines." New Orleans, he said, is a city made by all the nations of the world, but one great "gumbo" made from many. The speech was as deeply patriotic as it was also deeply political—"e pluribus unum" carries a weight right now in Trump's America that makes most politicians shy from such fulsome embraces of pluralism and brutally honest historical consciousness. Indeed, any historical consciousness, save for toxic forms of nostalgia, is out of style among Trump's supporters as well as his cowed, silent enablers in the Republican Party.
When the FBI discovered a network of Bosnian-Americans giving support to terrorists, they also discovered Abdullah Ramo Pazara, a U.S. citizen and a battalion commander in Syria.
Abdullah Ramo Pazara had a craving for packets of instant hot cocoa. The Bosnian-American former truck driver was, at the time, a commander of an Islamic State tank battalion in Syria. Apparently, even foreign fighters who reject their former lives in Western countries for a chance at martyrdom for ISIS sometimes long for the creature comforts of their previous homes.

In 2013, six Bosnian immigrants in the United States allegedly sent money, riflescopes, knives, military equipment, and other supplies to jihadists in Syria and Iraq through intermediaries in Bosnia and Turkey. According to the U.S. government's allegations, individual ISIS fighters would make specific requests—mostly for money and military equipment—and the group would then raise funds and send supplies to Syria. The requests included what was surely an unexpected revelation of nostalgia—packets of Swiss Miss hot cocoa. By sending the cocoa mix and other supplies, federal prosecutors argue, these U.S.-based Bosnians provided what is known as "material support" to terrorists, in violation of the Patriot Act.
Uncovering the link between early trauma and lifelong illness
"It serves no one, the media or Trump, to have an almost thermonuclear war with each other."

If you might be afraid from a negative negative effects while utilizing the Accutane drug, don't hesitate to. Food and Drug Administration earlier this decade to formulate and implement a prescriber training and patient education program to reduce risks by using isotretinoin. Access to Accutane is only able to be obtained by way of a dermatologist's prescription, because it's a highly regulated drug reported by the Food and Drug Administration by the procedures doctors and pharmacists must follow.
Rosacea is most frequent in women (starting inside the mid 30's), but much more serious in men. Dermatologists who need to prescribe their patient it requires to register them at the FDA's i - PLEDGE web site, a website created specifically for this type of drug. In most all cases the answer to cystic acne cases are limited to oral medication so because of this it is recommended that all cases need to be taken to your dermatologist.

It is dangerous that try and buy Accutane in the main Web and vendors outside because of a person's United States.

A clothing manufacturer is to draw together theatrical talents from across the globe. Desmond O'Grady reports from Treviso.
Clothing manufacturer Benetton is behind a multimedia theatrical experience set to draw on expertise from several countries, including Australia.
Called Credo, the event will be produced this year at Germany's State Opera of Karlsruhe. Musicians from other countries will be involved through satellite connections.
It has been composed by Andrea Molina, head of Fabrica Music. Fabrica is Benetton's research and development centre and has several other aims, including fostering innovation and projects with a social conscience.
Molina is negotiating with Brisbane Music Festival director Lyndon Terracini for Australian participation and a performance of Credo at next year's Queensland Biennial Festival of Music.
Credo examines religious and ethnic tensions, aiming to show that the conflicts are usually resolved by marriages between those from both sides of the divides. Its focal points are Northern Ireland, Turkey and the Middle East, but it may also include integrated videos featuring Australian music and Aborigines.
Musicians from conflicting groups in trouble spots, such as Palestinians and Israelis, will perform together in their home towns as part of Credo.
"I'm very pleased with the Australian link," said Molina, "because it gives us an intercontinental scale rooted in the local."
Benetton is well known for its provocative photographic advertisements. Shot by Oliviero Toscani, the photographs were criticised by those who considered that he exploited suffering to boost sales. The advertisements were controversial: some criticising the imposition of the death penalty, American retail chain Sears Roebuck cancelled its contract with Benetton.
But Benetton claimed its photographs were intended to promote a more tolerant and just society. These aims, together with a belief in creativity, are behind Fabrica.
Fabrica is situated at Benetton's headquarters outside Treviso in northern Italy. It offers one-year scholarships to talented young artists and also publishes a bi-monthly 120-page magazine in four languages, Colors. There are 500,000 copies distributed in 60 countries.
Each issue is devoted to a single topic, such as violence, mental asylums, slums and hunger, or more frivolous issues, such as status symbols, soap opera, and toys.
Among the 40 scholarship-holders this year is Chris Elser, a 22-year-old from Adelaide. His main project is to make a video on recycling, with a bottle as its hero. But he is also working on videos about road safety and helping imprisoned journalists.
Hugo Smit, a 20-year-old cellist from Christchurch, New Zealand, is writing music for the recycling video. Like Elser, Smit is enthusiastic about Italy, its "tiny cups of coffee, its sweet breakfast buns, tanned women, cobbled streets - all the stereotypes prove to be true".
With a monthly living allowance of �400 ($A650) from Fabrica, Elser and Smit, like other scholarship-holders, live in Treviso, where Fabrica provides accommodation.
Benetton calls Fabrica a communications research centre in the fields of photography, design, music, cinema and new media. It says it enables young, talented people to learn by doing and attending lectures or seminars given by visiting experts.
The scholarship winners must propose a main project, but also collaborate on others that may be for Benetton, for non-profit organisations such as the World Health Organisation, or commercial contracts such as installing a Gonzaga family historical-artistic exhibition in Mantua last year or designing a line of furniture for mobile singles.
The income from these projects helps to finance Fabrica. Other projects go ahead even if they won't make any money because, the company says, it believes in encouraging innovation.
Fabrica is also financed out of Benetton's publicity budget, which last year amounted to �80 million.
The scholarship holders also design Fabrica Features - objects such as stationery and clothing accessories. The company intends to install Fabrica Features sectors in some of its 5000 shops worldwide. So far, they have been set-up in Bologna, Lisbon and Shanghai.
Other projects include the Fabrica Visions of Hope series of photographs - a response to the destruction of the World Trade Centre in 2001 - some of which were published in The New Yorker; photographic exhibitions in Tokyo and Osaka last year; and co-production of films by directors from Third World countries, such as those by Iranians that won prizes in recent Cannes and Berlin festivals.

From eighth-graders to rocket scientists, Boulder students and employees will have an opportunity this week to learn about the effects of air pollution, smoking, asthma and allergies on breathing and healthy lungs.
The Breathe Better Bus was created by the Colorado Allergy and Asthma Centers' Breathe Better Foundation with the help of University of Colorado at Boulder engineering students. The bus will visit Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., Casey Middle School and the CU-Boulder campus as part of its Boulder County kick-off.
Ball Aerospace employees and their families will explore the bus' hands-on exhibits during a company health fair Wednesday, Nov. 7, from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The bus will then travel to Casey Middle School, where eighth-grade students will visit the exhibits Wednesday from noon to 2:45 p.m. and Thursday, Nov. 8, from 7:45 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
The bus will then go to the west entrance of the CU-Boulder Engineering Center on Thursday from noon to 3 p.m., when about 100 high school students in the Colorado Math, Engineering and Science Achievement program will visit the bus as part of an on-campus engineering program. University students who worked on the learning exhibits also will be on hand during the visit to campus.
The bus is an educational delight for all ages, with six interactive learning stations that move, talk, ooze, wheeze, flash and otherwise respond to each visitor. The 40-foot mobile classroom, powered by natural gas, was launched in Denver this fall and will travel throughout the state, visiting schools, communities, businesses and organizations. More than 10,000 children and adults are expected to visit the bus each year.
The nonprofit Breathe Better Foundation developed the bus to show how asthma and allergies can be managed so that people with these afflictions can lead active, healthy lives. More than 67,000 children and 165,000 adults in Colorado suffer from asthma, and the prevalence of asthma in children has increased 72 percent over the past 10 years.
Fifteen mechanical engineering students, working under the supervision of engineering Professor Shelly Miller and Ball Aerospace engineer Robert Wootten, designed and built the learning stations in the retrofitted RTD bus.
The American Lung Association of Colorado also provided financial support and help with the learning stations and materials. Other major sponsors include Aetna, Aventis Pharmaceutical, GlaxoSmithKline and Schering/Key Pharmaceuticals.
For information about the Breathe Better Bus, or to schedule a visit to your school or workplace, call Robin Wilson at the Colorado Allergy and Asthma Centers, (720) 858-7600, extension 7412.
Learning Stations on the Breathe Better Bus
When you walk on the bus, the first thing you see is a set of healthy, pink lungs that breathe. This display also has plastic lungs that you can take apart and re-assemble to see how they work and a lighted screen that shows all the parts of the body involved in breathing. Each one lights up as you read about its role.
The second station teaches on video how to use inhalers and other asthma and allergy medications.
The third station features an interactive exhibit that simulates breathing by an asthmatic and then by a person with normal breathing. A large Tweetie Bird watches as each person makes balls inside a clear tube rise and fall with each breath. The zone that each person falls into is color-coded, with tips for that level.
Fourth on the tour is a rotating house with rooms showing items that can trigger allergies or asthma attacks, including dust, pets, cleaners, etc. A computer screen asks questions about each room, and when a correct answer is given a frog dances. An incorrect response draws a loud cough. This site also includes a telephone to talk into for tips.
The fifth station is all about air pollution. It features miniature autos, trucks, homes, snowmobiles, lawnmowers, SUVs and small cars on highways and hillsides. Their exhaust fumes light up in response to questions about pollution and ozone damage. The cow's tail lights up in response to a question about methane gas.
The final station shows what smoking does to human lungs and appearance. A special screen morphs each person's face into what it might look like after 20 years of smoking. The display includes a soft, squishy pit that simulates the feeling of tar that builds up in the lungs. It also has a video on smoking facts. The most impressive piece of this exhibit, however, is a pair of real lungs blackened from smoking, which is shocking when compared to the healthy lungs in the first exhibit on the bus.

Opinion is split as to whether the proposed lowering of the drink-drive limit would result in a decrease in motor vehicle crashes, but a local GP is heralding the move as long overdue.
Mount Maunganui GP Tony Farrell said the change would bring the legal and medical definitions of drunkenness together.
"The changes would mean that the legal limit would be equivalent to the medical definition of drunk, 0.05 is a medical reference," Dr Farrell said.
"At that concentration many people exhibit signs of drunkenness. There is a reference in 1984 from a couple of authors (that) said the definition of drunkenness is 0.05.
It's fascinating, isn't it, that we are already allowed to drive drunk in this country."
The Land Transport (Safer Limits for Driving) Amendment Bill policy, sponsored by Labour MP Iain Lees-Galloway, says there is research already available which shows enough driver impairment between the proposed 0.05 limit and the 0.08 limit to warrant action.
"A drug and alcohol expert from the United Kingdom has estimated that this measure could reduce our road toll by two-thirds as it would alter driver behaviour," the bill says.
Dr Farrell supported the implementation of the lower limit but would have preferred to set even lower alongside other recommendations issued by the World Health Organisation to curb alcohol-related harm.
"The important thing is as a precautionary principal you should have your drink driving limit below the level that is medically defined as drunk.
"Alcohol is one of the few drugs that has massive double standards around it. It causes cancer and yet it's not labelled; it's considered something you drink with gay abandon in New Zealand even though it has the same safety ratio as methamphetamine.
"What it will do is reduce problem drinking and that will result in a lot less harm from cancer, heart disease, depression and 60 different conditions, so it's a great move.
"It's estimated that 20 per cent of GP consultations relate to alcohol. A person coming in with a flu on a Monday may in fact be hung over."
Senior roading police recently told the Law and Order Committee that lowering the limit overseas had reduced road trauma without exception.
Doing so here would save between 10-25 lives a year in New Zealand, the committee heard.
Western Bay of Plenty road policing manager Ian Campion preferred not to comment on the proposed change while it was still moving through Parliament.
Statistics were not kept on how far over the limit the average drink driver was at the time of their arrest, with Mr Campion stating offenders recorded readings covering the entire spectrum.

Of my four (boy/girl, boy/girl), all are graduated, #1 home from his mission in South America, finished with college, married & working helicopter paramedic/ski patrol in Colorado. #2 returned from her CA mission, married w/. a 6yr old boy, 4yr & 2yr old girls. #3 has returned from teaching English in France and will be heading to Korea. #4 graduated school in Southern Virginia with her husband and they have two boys, a one year old and a brand new baby. Each of my children lived their whole lives with me. Being a single dad for so long certainly molded my life.
I do my best to be kind to others around me. I am intelligent, well educated, enjoy socializing and consider myself quite down to earth & genuine. Teaching high school and being a football referee have kept me feeling young! After 28 yrs, I left teaching high school Spanish behind me and look forward to something different.
I have served in many church callings from Missionary in Spain to LDS Scoutmaster, District Young Men's President, Branch Presidency, Sunday School, Elders' Quorum President, Ward Mission Leader and now High Priest Group Leader; also as as youth, middle & high school football official. I previously coached & served years as the local teachers' association president.
I love spending time with my children and grandchildren. I am getting myself back in shape, hiking, working out & lifting. My motorcycle is a great diversion (as is the hammock in the front yard). My modest log home is a perfect fit here in the mountains surrounded by tall pines and a lot of wildlife. I am a small town guy who spends a lot of time in the great outdoors. I enjoyed working for the National Park Service as a Park Ranger for 7 summers before I began teaching. Up until just recently, I spent my summers with the U.S. Forest Service. I really love traveling. Hawaii and Spain are favorite destinations [I attended BYU-Hawaii and even worked at the Polynesian Cultural Center as a Spanish guide after my mission]. I also like Cancún/Cozumel, Paris, all of Italy and want to visit Scotland, Ireland, etc., etc., etc.
Because I have posted a number of photos, you should get a pretty good idea of what my kids & I look like. If the pictures please you, rest assured, I am even a better man on the inside.
Hey, I am a NORMAL, GOOD GUY with an absolute testimony. My wife will never have to twist my arm to diligently live the Gospel. Isn't that what most NORMAL, good Mormon gals look for???

What company has the best cell phone coverage in the Valley?
PALM DESERT, Cali. - When it comes to cell phone service, are you getting what you're paying for?
Providers continually make claims of having the best coverage, superior call quality and the fastest download speeds.
But, up until recently, the data to support those claims has been kept from consumers, which is why Seattle based RootMetrics set out to change that.
The independent company has been mapping coverage across the nation for the last several years.
This year, it was the Coachella Valley's turn.
RootMetrics CEO Bill Moore explains how they did it. "We buy the off the shelf hand sets just like everybody else does right in the carrier stores. We don't alter those in any way and we go out and do activities just like what a consumer would do and that is we make and place calls and try and hold on to them. We upload and download data, we do email tests, we do web and app usage type tests and then we text. And what we do is we do that both indoor, outdoor, and via the car. In particular in the Indio area we actually did over, almost nearly 18,000 tests, drove a little over 700 miles and also did 31 indoor locations."
So who came out on top?
Verizon, which Bill says is not surprising.
"So there is new technology called LTE, and Verizon has been the first to roll that out in the country. They're in more markets than anyone else and in particular, that comes into play in Indio where they're the only player with LTE. Other carriers are starting to roll that out so AT&T has pretty strong coverage outside of the Indio area. Sprint is starting to deploy LTE and T-Mobile has actually deployed as faster technology of their 3G, that's kind of second best to LTE. So they, in the data side, come in second to Verizon in terms of data speeds."
That LTE technology is what lets Verizon provide the fastest download speeds and the quickest app performance. As far as text and calls go, scores stayed close across all networks.
Aside from technology, performance of a network depends on various factors including the device you're on, the buildings or topography around you, and now more than ever, the number of users in a specific area.
"What's really starting to happen is it's less about coverage and a lot more about congestion," Bill says. "So the issues are where there's a large population, maybe an intersection of two freeways during commute hour and we see those ebbs and flows throughout the day."
If you want to test a specific area for yourself or see how your own neighborhood fares, you can download the same app the RootMetrics testers use. Your data is then incorporated into their test results and detailed coverage map.
RootMetrics plans on re-testing every six months to keep up with new technology.
So with this data now widely available, the question becomes what do you want out of your phone, and what do you want to pay for it?
You can download the RootMetrics App called "Coverage Map" on either the Apple iOS platform or the Google Android platform. To see the test results from their study or to nail down coverage quality to your own block, you can visit their website at http://www.rootmetrics.com/compare-carriers/indio/

I'm not going to say all out chicks can't drive, but much like when a girl 'knows she's good looking', when they get on the cell phone at the same time they are behind the wheel, they are absolutely useless. Another time of total uselessness is when they are in traffic putting on their #@&%ing make up. If you have to put on your makeup in the car, get your ass out of bed earlier and do it at your house because...
1. No one wants to see what a pre-make up butter face you have.
2. No one wants to be endangered by some skank paying attention to her vanity mirror and not the road.
Since you didn't mention it in your post, I'm going to assume you have a WRX. If so, then you are already not one of those bad driving females. Congrats on your acquisition and welcome to the club!!

By Scooter Hobbs / American Press
BATON ROUGE — LSU held its annual media day at the sprawling football complex Sunday, and all I can say is that it might need to sprawl a little more if this trend keeps up.
The Tigers have been practicing for a week now from an unfamiliar spot just outside the doorstep of the Top 10, so for this year you didn't have the ESPN traveling bus or hordes of national media barging in.
That limited the "media" to a cozy gathering of ... I don't know how many ... but they sprawled out into the hallway of an auditorium that normally easily accommodates the entire LSU football team, including walk-ons.
I have no idea who most of them were or where they came from or, for that matter, what they were doing.
Apparently all you need these days to count yourself in the media is to get yourself an iPhone and a Twitter account. Most of them, frankly, would probably have been more at home at the LSU Fan Day that followed Sunday night over at the Maravich Assembly Center.
Otherwise, not much happened.
But there was buzz, plenty of it, floating around on what has come to be LSU's official opening.
Among the more noteworthy buzz topics:
• LSU's offense may have been worse than you thought last year.
For this year, head coach Les Miles said, "There is an opportunity for us to call multiple plays from different ... a select group of plays from many, what would be a variant of personnel groups and implementations."
Translation: If I was hearing some of LSU returning offensive players correctly, last year they had formations from which they ran only one play.
• New offensive coordinator Cam Cameron is on the case to fix the offense.
• Cameron has kind of been the great Oz behind the curtain since arriving at LSU in February. He's really been a recluse and hasn't talked with the media much until Sunday.
His general message seemed to be that getting a passing attack that the Tigers' running game can be proud of is not rocket science and hardly brain surgery. He thinks LSU can have a truly balanced attack, throwing the ball more efficiently while not throwing the physical ground game out with the bath water.
Details still to come, he promised. He warned the changes might not be evident to the naked eye. But hints abound that, while stopping short of the pop-gun spread offenses, it will be far more up-tempo than in the past.
• Jeremy Hill, though burned once by homemade video, did not flinch when iPhones were pointed at him Sunday.
Miles still hasn't decided what Hill's "further discipline" will be after allowing him to rejoin the team from a well publicized suspension last week.
I think Miles has decided, but he's not ready to tell yet.
• LSU is going to play a lot more true freshmen this season than you're used to seeing.
Part of it was losing eight defensive starters to early entry in the NFL draft.
"We didn't get caught off guard," defensive coordinator John Chavis said. "We recruited well before this year and the years before that. But certainly when you lose that many guys there's going to be some freshmen that have the opportunity."
You know they're serious when Miles will name freshmen names — normally he'll beg off this early into camp with generic praise of the overall class.
But off the top of his head he rattled off Melvin Jones, linebackers Duke Riley and Kendall Beckwith, speedster Jeryl Brazil and cornerback Ricky Jefferson.
"He can really cover," Miles said of Jefferson, the younger brother of former quarterback Jordan Jefferson.
• Beckwith is a beast. Doesn't look much like a freshman.
• Later, word leaked out that true freshman center Ethan Pocic might be pushing junior Elliott Porter for the starting center spot. There will be many other freshmen see quality minutes.
• The offensive line, reshuffled since the spring, already has a redshirt freshman, Jerald Hawkins, starting at right tackle. Hawkins' encouraging development allowed LSU to move sophomore Vadal Alexander to the left guard next to tackle La'el Collins. That could be the plan if guard Josh Williford, who missed seven games last year with a concussion, is unable to play after suffering another one in the first week of practice.
• Miles didn't want talk about injuries, particularly Williford's concussion.
• And true freshman Anthony Jennings, who went through the spring, already has a secure grip on the backup quarterback spot (where he's more of a dual threat than Zach Mettenberger). It sounds like they plan to use him whether he's needed or not.
• Jones, the former Washington-Marion linebacker/quarterback (and whatever else the Charging Indians needed him to do on offense), has already been moved from LSU linebacker to LSU fullback.
One of the reasons was his receiving skills, which suggests there really will be some major changes in the Cameron offense.
• The place is verily swarming with talented young linebackers right now. Finding something productive for all of them to do might be Chavis' biggest challenge on defense.

Punk music is not something you read about too often in educational circles. Yet, I've wondered on many occasions punk's effect on my thinking or the ways I've approached my teaching.
I'm worried that parental resistance of standardized testing will become part of the rationale for greater school choice, which in extreme cases is antithetical to public education.
Even as someone who engages in the more scientific or theoretical aspects of teaching, I start to wonder if we really want to go all in here with this very techno-rational mentality.
In order for the United States to remain economically competitive and "win our future," so to speak, we must ensure that we have and maintain a healthy workforce.
I've lately decided to be a bit more, I don't know, explicit with my resistance of mainstream education reform.
I'm convinced that unless something changes dramatically, the end of public education in America is inevitable.
My joining the education blogosphere, even in my own limited way, connected me with more like-minded -- and not so like-minded -- folks in education than I could have imagined.
Let us pretend that physicians of all specialties were held to similar measures of accountability and enveloped with the same kinds of discourses that we see in education reform debates. What might that look like?
In terms of men in education, we need more guys to man up rather than man down. Statistical realities have demonstrated the critical absence of men in the classroom with no signs of change.
Imagine if a bunch of parents and community members got together and refused to allow their students or children to take the state tests
With high-stakes standardized testing, this is the educational culture we've created. Seeing schools in test-mode is an observation in a disheartening obsession with quantitative values.

Others are taller and some weigh more, but is there a bigger big man than Andrew Bynum in the NBA? Bynum, officially listed at 7-foot and 285 pounds, certainly measured up against the Orlando Magic's Dwight Howard, who's 6-11, 275.
"He's a big guy, man," Orlando point guard Jameer Nelson said of Bynum after the Lakers rallied to defeat the Magic 97-84 on Monday night at Staples Center for their 10th victory in 11 games since the All-Star break.
"He's a handful," Nelson continued. "It's like he's out there and you think you've got the ball, and he has it in his hands. You're jumping for the ball, but he's just standing there tipping it to himself to get those extra shots."
Bynum scored 10 points and matched his career high with 18 rebounds Monday, his fourth consecutive game with 10 or more points and his sixth straight with 12 or more rebounds. He's had a big impact on the Lakers' winning ways since the All-Star break.
After rounding into form slowly following offseason right knee surgery that sidelined him for the first 24 games of 2010-11, Bynum has become a force in the paint for the Lakers. His season averages have risen to 11.6 points and 8.8 rebounds.
In his last five games, he's averaging 13 points and 15.6 rebounds.
"I think he's just getting more comfortable physically," Lakers point guard Derek Fisher said. "In terms of being healthy, he came off a knee surgery in the summer. Regardless of age or experience, surgeries take time to recover from.
"I think he's feeling more comfortable physically. He's doing some unbelievable things out there for us.
"And I keep saying it: In terms of since the All-Star break, people are asking why we've been so much better, and I'll start with him."
Bynum's value has been evident from time to time since the Lakers drafted him as an inexperienced 17-year-old from St. Joseph High School in Metuchen, N.J. When he's been healthy, he's been a forceful presence around the basket.
The Lakers won back-to-back titles with him in their starting lineup, and they lost to the Boston Celtics in the 2008 Finals when he was sidelined by a left kneecap injury. They defeated Boston last June and Howard and the Magic in 2009.
"Andrew's game has grown, even from when he first came back (from surgery earlier this season) to now," Lakers sixth man Lamar Odom said. "(It's) his understanding for the game, his understanding for what the team needs.
"When you get a guy that can protect the basket, it helps a lot."
Mr. Annoying Guy
Phil Jackson finished tied for a distant second to Orlando's Stan Van Gundy in a poll of players who were asked, "Which coach is most annoying during games?" by Sports Illustrated. Van Gundy earned 65 percent of the 138 votes; Jackson got 7 percent.
Milwaukee's Scott Skiles tied Jackson with 7 percent, followed by New Jersey's Avery Johnson (4 percent) and San Antonio's Gregg Popovich (3 percent). The results are included in this week's issue, which hits newsstands and mailboxes today.
The Lakers took the day off Tuesday, so Jackson wasn't available for comment.

Getting the tone of the piece is extremely difficult when results go against us. I am only just realising it is just as hard when things have gone gloriously, deliciously right. An hour of juvenile baiting of the neighbours on Twitter is all well and good (and huge fun too), but then that nervous energy that has been expended starts to hit home.
The mind is awash with conflicting thoughts. We must invest in the team this summer so that we don't find ourselves in this position again. This was the worst Arsenal side of the Wenger years for me, but how do I square the circle that those who have played 10 unbeaten Premier League fixtures since the debacle at White Hart Lane had even bigger plums than Jonas Gutierrez finished with?
This article first appeared on Goonerholic in May 2013
At the first whistle we came out positive, but created little. Bacary Sagna's best cross in a long time sailed across an empty area. Newcastle found their feet and it is fair to say had the better opportunities to open the scoring. With Per Mertesacker having a rare nervous day we were grateful on more than one occasion to see the leader alongside him, Laurent Koscielny, snuffing out the danger.
Our clearest opportunity was cut short by an erroneous offside flag as Lukas Podolski bore down on Steve Harper, tears still in his eyes after receiving a standing ovation from the Geordie faithful. Newcastle, prompted by the slippery Ben Arfa, were looking a far cry from the team that only escaped the threat of relegation when we beat Wigan.
I don't know what Arsène says to the team at half-time these days, but he may care to consider giving the same speech an hour earlier. We started the second half looking much more of a threat. Harper denied Theo Walcott in the opening seconds and seven minutes in was picking the ball out of the back of his net.
The thirty million pound goal, as it is destined to be known, was scored by far and away the outstanding performer on the day. The finish was that of a supreme sniffer of half-chances. Laurent Koscielny's deft flicked volley brushing Harper's temple on it's way into the goal. For a second there was silence, and all eyes turned to the assistant referee. No flag. "YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGH!" The management came to witness the banshee in the flesh. I was doing what passes for a jig these days. Sawdust must have been falling downstairs.
The thirty million pound goal, as it is destined to be known, was scored by far and away the outstanding performer on the day. The finish was that of a supreme sniffer of half-chances
Those who visited the drinks just before kick-off will have seen that I had a late back-up punt on 1-0 to the Arsenal. Now all that stood between me and collecting was the longest 38 minutes of my life. By my reckoning the referee added about three hours. A handful of chances were traded and Newcastle ramped up the pressure as the 90 minutes finally officially expired. News that the neighbours had scored didn't help, so many stings in the tail have there been in recent weeks in the lower leagues.
Then another "it's up for grabs now" moment. Theo slalomed his way through the thinned ranks of the home defence, goal at his mercy, and hit the post. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAGH!" The management, fearing the worst, came galloping in again.
"They haven't?"
"No dear, they haven't"
Finally we took several Kruls over a corner kick and the whistle blew to confirm our top-four berth for the 16th consecutive year. The immediate reaction, a mixture of relief and elation. Don't tell me fourth place isn't important, but neither is it a trophy, I know. It matters not a jot, and hopefully some will now consider the words of Gary Neville in the aftermath. His praise for what Arsène Wenger achieved once more despite having a net spend of nine million pounds in 10 years (or was it the other way round?) was fulsome.
I'm not saying Arsène knows best, or whatever cheap and worthless label some want to apply. He was a Koscielny goal away from facing justifiable questions about his future - and yet the weakest first-choice XI he has had to work with battled for him over the closing weeks to deliver what for me was a surprising and welcome achievement.
I would argue we should have splashed a bit more than we have in the last 18 months, but then again I am itching to see us take advantage of the incredible position we have put ourselves in. To have built that stadium and maintained a place in the top four is commendable, but this summer gives us an opportunity to make a statement about where this club is going.
Nobody, surely, wants that future to include yet more scraps for third and fourth place with one hand tied behind our back.
Today though, it will do.
