are. If you write bad code which nobody else in the team understands, people reading the code after you will bug you. If you are a team leader, and if new members keep complaining about not understanding what the code is doing, they are bugging you. If there is no documentation about the product or its design, they bug one another. Removing bugs according to this broader definition will help you remove those belonging to the narrower definition.
The agile movement amongst other things has emphasized three practices: continuous integration, test driven development and constant refactoring. I will describe these practices from the perspective of achieving quality, i.e. reducing bugs.
- Continuous Integration (CI) . Continuous Integration is not just about automating procedures to create a build. Today's CI environments can and usually incorporate automatic tests, static code analysis for code complexity, code duplication, and potential bugs, code execution coverage, presence of comments, and so on. These are helpful to detect problems early and give the team a chance to fix them early.
- Test Driven Development (TDD) . Perhaps writing test code before target code is not easy, but at the very least, but it should be something to strive for. At the very least, developers must deliver test code together with the target code and in the same code repository. A developer's job is not done until he has proven that his code works and there is nothing better than writing their own test code. If that is difficult, it means that the testability of the product is poor or the developers are just plain lazy.
- Constant Refactoring . There have been many debates between the merits of up-front design or emergent design, which I will discuss in a minute. But for now, I am talking about constant refactoring as a way of tidying, cleaning and sorting the code - to improve maintainability and extensibility and to have this as a habit as part of lean developments 5S (sorting, straightening, sweeping, standardizing, sustaining). So, all code must reside in its rightful place, and so should tests and documentation.
All the above practices, CI, TDD, Constant Refactoring, are their precisely to help you attain high quality while still being responsive through iterative development. Iterative development without CI, TDD, Constant Refactoring is not sustainable.
I have worked with a number of agile teams. They all practice iterative development in a SCRUM like manner, but they lack the will power and perhaps the competency to apply CI, TDD and constant refactoring effectively. Thus, whereas outwardly, they seem "agile" with sprints, stories and all, but peel off the outer layers and you still find the same old habits.
3. Mindset: Developers and Testers are One
Rightfully, there should not be a distinction between developers and testers. Developers should test their own code. They should not need other people to test what they do. Does it mean there should be no testers? Let me clarify myself. I distinguish two kinds of roles:
- Quality Advisors/Coaches . Of course, there needs to be some requirements persons to look at the product from a customer's or user's perspective. They give advice on what quality means in the context of the product, what are the key usage scenarios and the expected usage environment. They help fill the gaps in the requirements.
- Naive Testers . There is another group of people who have no better understanding of the product than the developers themselves. Their job is to test the system by following a set of test procedures. They are treated like robots. Some are more technically qualified, and they write

Costume Information
|I really do love this game
It has been my all time favourite game since I first played it when it was released in 2000 - and ever since then I have always adored Zidanes character.
When I made my original Zidane outfit I was severely inexperienced

I also run a site with hundreds of articles in a specifc niche area and it does quite well, though certainly not to the levels I would like it to go.
My question(s) is those that run sites that have thousand of pages, or tens of thousands of pages, how do you fare? How many hours a week are you spending maintaining that level of a site? Is google on each and every page?

How do we fare? Very very well.
Google is in most of our pages, except for our discussion forum. We make more from banner ads there than Adsense
It's a fulltime job to maintain and improve all of these sites/services.
No it's definitely my part time job. I can't commit to working on my site full time just yet, nor do I want to. I would strongly advise you to keep a full time job before quitting anything web site related. I'll recount my history for you a bit: Started selling on eBay about 3 years ago for fun to supplement my income. At one point, I was selling in a highly competitive field and clearing 1K a week. At this point I'm thinking "BYE BYE BOSS". Then overnight, the bottom fell out, my field became super competitive and I decided to start my site. 3 years of hard work and learning part time and now my site still only provides me with about 1/3 of my regular income. Plus don't forget, a twitchy Google algorithm can wipe out your traffic overnight! If you're making good money with Google now, keep at it. If you know what you're doing, it will only grow over time. And none of us here can predict what will happen to AdSense in another 2-3 years down the line. Eventually I think a lot of webmasters here can regard their site as a supplemental retirement fund. (Bill & EFV not included :-)) Just my 2 cents.

The income is over $3K month from adsense alone but i dont trust this income.
I didn't know it when I started it, but it was kind of a "perfect storm" site topic. It just happened to be very popular (14,000 or so daily searches for the main keyword according to Wordtracker), but also had a comparatively low number of competitors. Hit the jackpot with that one. Haven't quite duplicated it yet, but I'm working on it! Love this business.

The positive effects of endorphins and oxytocin upon our body and psychological wellbeing are well known in science and medical research. According to experts in neuro-chemistry, the spikes stimulate acupressure points, muscles and nerves which produce beneficial hormones and endorphins such as oxytocin, described as the body's own "morphine". The process promotes pain relief, inner calm and wellbeing. Perfect after a day at work or whenever you want to recharge your energy levels and feel good!
Optimise the benefits of training and exercise!
Relax can help you optimise the benefits of exercise and training. It is well known that in order to increase your level of fitness and improve performance it is important to be able to help the body and mind achieve deep relaxation. Top sportsmen and women often have a team of experts to help them achieve this. Relax enables you to achieve this yourself!
Hormone of love makes you happy!
Oxytocin is also called the "hormone of love"; it is the body's very own "happy pill". When the oxytocin level in the body increases, the stress hormones decrease. Oxytocin lowers blood pressure, reduces anxiety and helps us to feel more positive and open towards other people. Oxytocin also helps the body's healing process and promotes pain relief. Excessive amounts can make us a little sleepy which can explain why our customers say that they sleep so well after using Relax.
Deep relaxation has many benefits
"The relaxation response is a physical state of deep rest that changes the physical and emotional responses to stress....... and is the opposite of the fight or flight response. It is recommended by most health care professionals to treat the harmful effects of stress."
The Relaxation Response, Herbert Benson, M.D. Harvard Medical School
Relax acupressure mat helps you to achieve deep relaxation simply and easily, with no training required. Unlike many other forms of physical and mental techniques you can enjoy the benefits immediately. Research indicates that deep relaxation has many benefits such as:

VA-ALERT is a project of the Virginia Citizens Defense League, Inc.
[First person singular pronouns (I, my, mine, etc) and "PVC" reference Philip Van Cleave, President VCDL]DaveH: Amen and AMEN!VCDL member Bob James emailed me about his positive open carry
experience in Prince William County.
>><<So there I was . . .
Wednesday night, 10 March 2010, about 2130, I stopped at a Burger King
at Nokesville Road (Rte 28) and Pennsylvania Avenue in Prince William
County. I was open carrying, as is my wont. I have entered Burger
Kings and other fast food joints countless times all over the Northern
Virginia area without incident. Tonight was different, dear readers,
but not unpleasantly so.
The bored but affable young lady at the counter took my order, no
problem. But the manager, a flinty-eyed woman with a sour expression
on her face, was surveying me with ill-concealed hostility. She spoke
as I retrieved my order and asked with some beligerence: "Let me ask
you a question. Are you a police officer?"
I smiled, and answered "No, ma'am, I am not." I paused for the
anticipated follow-up question, but none was forthcoming; the
manager's expression just got darker, so I said nothing more and sat
down to eat.
Five minutes later, I saw the PWCP car roll up, headlights off, and
two officers enter the store. Here's the kicker. They never looked
askance at me, never asked me my name or business or why I thought I
needed a gun, or any of that nonsense. They didn't disarm me, prone me
out on the floor, or call me nasty names. Instead, both officers went
straight to the manager, who had once again returned to the front
counter to beckon them.
I could hear the manager hissing about the man with a gun, and one
officer asking, "Did he threaten anyone? Was he waving it around?"
Finally, he explained that my behavior was perfectly legal in
Virginia. Neither officer contacted me, or even so much as walked
around the tile barrier to see whether or what I was carrying. End of
As it should be. [PVC: AMEN.]
Kudos to the Prince William County Police officers who handled this
call with consummate professionalism and class.
Bob James
Well another NOVA county gets it right.
BTW: in an earlier thread about off-base-housing around Quantico, I had said that Prince William had a rep as being fair re: RKBA. Glad to see that the impression is holding up.

Kudos to the police; to the manager, not so much. One wonders if Bob James will ever enter that BK again. I wouldn't (even if I were a fast-food eater).
Kudos to the LEOs from me too.

As the economy slumps, expect more lawsuits from employees who lose their jobs. Many won't find lawyers because their cases are flimsy. They may then file the lawsuit themselves.
Fortunately, courts are beginning to lose patience with such cases—and are tossing them out fast.
Recent case: Donald Allen, who is black, sued his former employer after he was fired from his job as a police officer. The police department terminated him because he broke down his former girlfriend's door, frightening her.
Allen sued, alleging race discrimination. The federal court considering his case quickly tossed it out when it was clear he had nothing to connect his discharge to his race. (Allen v. Grand Prairie, No. 3:07-CV-1917, ND TX, 2009)
Final note: Limit your legal liability by having good documentation for all disciplinary actions.

Each year NEC's Abreu Fellows program accepts 10 musicians into a course of study that allows them to convert their passion for their art and social change into a skill set that will empower them to transform children's lives by developing programs throughout the United States inspired by Venezuela's El Sistema. The Abreu Fellows have organized this concert to demonstrate the many facets of an Abreu Fellowship.
C.A.T.S. stands for "Citizen-Artist-Teacher-Scholar," and was coined by two members of the Class of 2010—Rebecca Levi and David Malek—along with Larry Scripp of the NEC faculty. The Abreu Fellows use the C.A.T.S. model to describe musicians who strive to lead youth by teaching, performing, educating, and modelling good citizenship. Read more about this in NEC President Tony Woodcock's blog.
There will be many C.A.T.S. present at this concert, which combines excerpts from chamber music works and video presentations. This is a collaborative project between the Class of 2011 Abreu Fellows, NEC faculty and student, plus 25 children from the El Sistema program at the Conservatory Lab Charter School (in photo), directed by Rebecca Levi and David Malek.

I'm certainly not one to turn down adventure and opportunity like this. We scrapped some last-minute flights and took off for a long weekend.
Turns out that the Sundance Movie Festival in Park City is... well it's a little insane. I studied up on how to get last-minute tickets, but that involved showing up two hours early, getting a lottery number (first come was not first served), then being back a half-hour before, and maybe MAYBE getting a seat. The high profile films were a wash; parking was non-existent, every restaurant had 45+ minute waits. It seemed overly complicated and frustrating, standing around in the snow and cold for hours with no certain payoff.
So: we hit the mountains instead. Staying in the Canyons, a wee outside the craziness of downtown, we were able to ski on and off the chairlift to our room. The snow was beyond legendary: we had one day of white-out conditions, reports of "an inch an hour" piling up around us, flakes stinging any patch of exposed skin, cars sliding off the roads. Two more days greeted us with waist-high patches the consistency of mashed potatoes. I got stuck on an expert black diamond route, enveloped by trees and moguls, and had to shimmy down while sweating and whimpering. But otherwise, the legends were all true about Utah Powder. Epic was had.
In the evenings, we attended Sundance parties. Elbow to elbow with Hollywood body-types, dancing to acoustic music, sipping on soda water and surviving on passed appetizers. You couldn't help but look around and wonder who was somebody famous; I'm sure they took one look at my hair and did the same. Michael Cera, Ludacris, and Kevin Sorbo were all spotted. The crowds in their designer shoes, big hair, or giant earrings held the attention every glance.
So close and yet so far; darn it, we're here, we're going to DO THIS! I finally got up the nerve to try and brave the waitlist process, but in Salt Lake City rather than the zoo of Park City. We were able to squeak into Beasts of the Southern Wild, seats together in the absolute front and center. There was a Q&A with the director and several of the actors after the movie, which was really cool (if a little jarring to see them out of character so suddenly). The movie was, of course, amazing, but it tore my soul apart a little bit; to be honest, I'm not sure if I could handle multiple moody flicks like this back-to-back as the festival prescribes. Still, we checked it off the list of things to do in life, and I'm pretty glad we did.

text: PARIS, Sept. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sanofi US and its consumer health business Chattem, Inc., have re-introduced Rolaids ® to stores across the United States. The iconic brand returns after a three-year hiatus in the marketplace and follows Chattem's acquisition of Rolaids earlier this year. To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/63227-sanofi-us-and-chattem-re-introduce-rolaids-in-the-united-states (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130916/MM73626) " For the last few years there has been a significant gap in the over-the-counter antacid marketplace here in the U.S.," said Zan Guerry, Chief Executive Officer, Chattem. " Starting today, the millions of people who suffer from frequent heartburn and acid indigestion can once again turn to Rolaids to help relieve their symptoms." Rolaids is sold in retail stores across the United States and is available in both tablets and a new liquid form. The liquid is a first for the brand, as is new Ultra Strength formulation in both tablets and liquid. Ultra Strength Tablets and Liquid deliver Rolaids' strongest level of acid neutralization. "I ncorporating Rolaids into Chattem's portfolio further strengthens Sanofi's position as a leader in the U.S. consumer healthcare sector and helps to further diversify our category offerings," said Anne Whitaker, President, North America Pharmaceuticals, Sanofi . Chattem will support the re-launch of Rolaids with a fully integrated marketing campaign featuring chef and restaurateur Guy Fieri. The campaign includes national television spots that include Fieri and re-establishes one of the most recognized advertising taglines of all-time – How Do You Spell Relief? R-O-L-A-I-D-S. Heartburn occurs when the opening between the stomach and esophagus malfunctions and allows stomach acid to enter the esophagus. More than two-thirds of all U.S. adults experience heartburn at least once per month.

For Tiger Woods, the stats show that his victory Monday in the Arnold Palmer Invitational is his eighth win at Bay Hill, his sixth in his last 20 PGA starts and his 77th on the PGA Tour.
But the best number is 1 — and that's a position Woods will again occupy in the world golf rankings, reclaiming the top spot for the first time in 29 months with his two-stroke victory in Orlando. After his game and personal life plummeted in the fall of 2010, Woods has gotten both together, winning three events this year and, last week, announcing that he is dating Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn.
Number 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!
— lindsey vonn (@lindseyvonn) March 25, 2013
This No. 1 Woods was relaxed, happy and confident at Bay Hill. Not even missing a long, initial putt on the 18th green could bother him. He just grinned, couldn't believe he'd missed and bit his putter. Woods finished with a final-round 2-under 790, 13 under par and two shots ahead of Justin Rose. "I play well here," he told the Golf Channel with a smile, "and that's about as simple as it gets."
For the 11th time, he's ranked first in the world. "It was just a byproduct, a byproduct of hard work and getting back to winning golf tournaments," he said. "Consequently, I've moved up."
Now he'll see if he can get back on track as far as major tournament wins go. He has been stuck on 14 since winning the U.S. Open in 2008 and the Masters, which he has won four times, starts April 11. Woods measures his success by his major titles, but wasn't buying the idea that he has to win one to be considered officially back on top again.
"That's their opinion," he said of those who would suggest that he needs a major win. "I'm very pleased with the way I'm playing."
Woods was comedic rather than combative in his post-match press conference, joking with reports. He said he'll prepare for Augusta after a few days off, feeling happy and healthy. How long has it been since he felt this good?
"It's been a few years."

Nasdaq in the Danger Zone
By Mark Arbeter
The Nasdaq broke to a new intraday low on Friday, Aug. 10, falling to its lowest level since mid-April. The index is in danger of further losses, however critical support levels held on a closing basis.
The intraday low of 1934.67 was taken out as the index has traced out a bearish descending triangle formation (a series of lower highs and flat bottoms). A downside break will be more negative with a close below the 1923 level, which is where the rally started after the surprise rate cut by the Federal Reserve on Apr. 18. The heavy volume day on Apr. 18 has represented excellent support, but a close below 1923 would shift that volume to heavy resistance, and would raise the possibility of a retest of the April lows of 1639.
The S&P 500 has so far held above its July intraday low (support) of 1165.54 and its low close on July 24 of 1171.65. However, the S&P 500 is below the range it traded on Apr. 18 or the heavy volume day so the index is below formidable resistance. The price range for Apr. 18 was 1191.81 to 1248.42 and that area has already halted the "500" in its tracks twice, once in July and once in August.
The recent intraday high for the "500" was set on Aug. 2 at 1226.27, right in this area of heavy resistance. Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq failed to complete small double bottom formations because they were unable to break above the intervening high by a decent margin. This failure has set the S&P 500 up for a small double top, and as we mentioned above, a descending triangle on the Nasdaq. The more important intermediate-term formation for both indexes is still a downward sloping channel that began in May.
As we have pointed out over the months, major bottoms after bear markets take time to develop. Looking at history, major market bottoms have taken between two and five months and typically take the shape of a double bottom. With the seasonals turning negative in September and October, this could set the market up for its secondary low in the fall months and therefore the bottom would be five to six months wide. This substantial base could then be a platform for outsized gains from November to January, the strongest three months of the year.
Sentiment continues to be complacent despite the recent slide. Investors Intelligence poll of newsletter writers is skewed way too much to the bullish side with 46.4% bulls and only 27.8% bears. At a major low, these numbers go to a 40%/40% split and sometimes have moved to a larger percentage of bears than bulls. Volatility indexes have failed to exhibit much fear, and remain at levels not associated with previous major market bottoms. The VIX (volatility index of S&P 100 measuring option premiums) is in the low 20s, but will usually jump to 40 or above at a major low. The VXN (volatility index of the NASDAQ 100) is in the 50 area and usually rises to the 75-90 level at a major low.
If the market does fall back to the lows seen in April, it will be very important that these sentiment indicators show much more fear and higher levels of bearishness. If they do, then the potential that the lows will hold would be high and that a good market rally could then begin.
One beneficiary of the weakness in stocks has been the treasury bond market. The 10-year note has traced out a bullish head-and-shoulders reversal pattern and appears headed toward the March yield low of 4.7%. Despite the jump in yields between March and May, which coincided the strength in the stock market, the 10-year remains in a bullish channel that has existed since January 2000. If the stock market bottoms during the Fall months, the Treasury market will most likely top out so we don't see yields falling too much further then the lows seen in March.
The market is trying to hold on but we continue to believe that the weight of tax-loss selling during the fall months will eventually send the indexes back down for a retest of the April lows.

Citation: Vermang, J., Norton, L.D., Baetens, J.M., Huang, C., Cornelis, W.M., Gabriels, D. 2013. Quantification of soil surface roughness evolution under simulated rainfall. Transactions of the ASABE. 56(2):501-514. Interpretive Summary: Soil surface roughness is known to influence many processes occurring on the soil surface, including infiltration, depression storage, runoff, flow velocity and meandering, soil loss and sediment deposition. With the advancement of laser scanning technology, we can now obtain very detailed surface microtopographic data and one challenging question is how can we mathematically express soil roughness so surfaces with different roughness elements or micromorphology can be distinguished. To quantify soil roughness, we not only need to quantify the elevation change, we also need to know the change spatially. In this research, we created surfaces with different roughness with different sizes of soil clods and we exposed the surfaces to a simulated rain storm. Soil surface elevations before and after the rainstorm were measured by a laser scanner at millimeter grids. We tested several soil roughness indices to see which one is more sensitive to different roughness surfaces. These indices included random roughness, variogram sill and range, fractal dimension and fractal length using a fractional Brownian motion (fBm) model, variance and correlation length according to a Markov Gaussian model and fractal dimension using the Revised Triangular Prism surface area Method (RTPM). The RTPM procedure uses square prisms to represent the surface morphology and the logarithmic correlation between the prism size and the total prism surface area can be used as an index for soil roughness. We found random roughness to be the best estimator that significantly distinguishes soil surface roughness classes. Nevertheless, the random roughness does not describe the spatial dependency. When we examine all the indices representing the spatial elevation change, the RTPM covered a greater range of scales, and hence is a better estimator of the overall roughness. Furthermore, the RTPM roughness index reflects the self-similar fractal character of the surface microtopography and is easier to calculate than the fBm fractal dimension, making this method a valuable tool to characterize soil surface roughness
Technical Abstract: Soil surface roughness is commonly identified as one of the dominant factors governing runoff and interrill erosion. The objective of this study was to compare several existing soil surface roughness indices and to test the Revised Triangular Prism surface area Method (RTPM) as a new approach to calculate the fractal dimension as a roughness index. A silty clay loam soil was sampled, sieved to four aggregate sizes and each were packed in soil trays in order to derive soils from four soil surface roughness classes. Rainfall simulations using an oscillating nozzle simulator were conducted for 90 min at 50.2 mm.h-1 average intensity. The surface microtopography was digitized by an instantaneous profile laser scanner before and after the rainfall application. Calculated roughness indices included random roughness, variogram sill and range, fractal dimension and fractal length using a fractional Brownian motion (fBm) model, variance and correlation length according to a Markov Gaussian model and fractal dimension using the RTPM. Random roughness proved to be the best estimator to significantly distinguish soil surface roughness classes. When taking spatial dependency into account, the variogram sill proved to be the best alternative. The fractal dimension as calculated from the fBm model did not yield good results as only short range variations were incorporated. The MG variance proved to describe the large scale roughness better than the parameters of the fBm model did. The fractal dimension from the RTPM performed well, although it could not significantly discriminate between all roughness classes. It covered a greater range of scales, and hence is a good estimator of the overall roughness.

Pray for Annie and Jeff Dieselberg, helping women and children caught up in human trafficking in Thailand.April 18, 2012
The Dieselberg Family
Annie and Jeff serve in Bangkok,
Thailand, at
NightLight, an international organization committed to addressing the complex at
issues surrounding trafficking and prostitution by catalyzing individual and
community transformation. NightLight's vision is to offer intervention to
sexually exploited women and children, to enable them to discover their
dignity, and to provide a program of holistic transformation, empowering them
to live and work in their community.
Annie writes: Thank you for your ongoing prayers and encouragement! We've been reminded this month how vital your prayers are for seeing victory in the lives of the women here. Most of the women we work with do not have prayer covering outside of the NightLight family. Those who have already trusted in Jesus are often first generation believers whose families perform rituals and incantations to evil spirits on their behalf. It is hard for us to imagine the intensity of the spiritual battles the women face, since so many of us benefit from the prayers of family, friends, and church communities. You are part of our NightLight family as you cover these women in prayer.
Wonderful retreat with NightLight women, staff, children, and ministry team
from Houston, TX. Three women were baptized, while others
received prayer ministry and powerful visitations of Holy Spirit. There was
much fun and celebration, and Jesus was glorified throughout!
• A street vendor working near our outreach center trusted in Jesus and has been sharing the good news with her friends. She recently brought a friend to Bible study who also trusted in the Lord!
• Annie and Beng participated in a conference with Central Asian women last month. Praise God for divine appointments and for tender hearts that eagerly responded to the needs of trafficked women.
• A team from NightLight traveled to the northeast of Thailand to visit the families of 11 of the women. One of the family members trusted in Jesus and found freedom from witchcraft!
• God moved in the hearts of two NightLight women who were at risk of returning to prostitution, and they have chosen to remain at NightLight. Please continue to pray protection over these women.
Prayer Requests
• Please continue to pray for the twin
sisters who left NightLight in February. They were both recently married to the
men their family arranged for them. Pray for their new marriages and as yet
unsaved husbands.
• Also, pray for our nurse, Tim, who had a successful eye surgery in February and is scheduled for surgery on the other eye this week.
• Pray for restoration of the women who have left NightLight. Pray specifically for "P-c," "K-y," "J-y," and "Kh-n." Pray they will be in the center of God's will.
• Pray for safety for the women and their families as they travel this weekend during the busy Songkran (Thai New Year) holiday. Many of these women will face pressure from their families to participate in rituals and ceremonies that dishonor God. Pray that they will stand firm as loving witnesses to their families of the transforming power of Jesus.
• Pray with us as we prepare to release our
Spring/Summer jewelry line. With recent pay raises to the women to compensate
for the increasing cost of living, we are mindful of the need for more jewelry
sales. Agree with us for divine strategies in marketing, increasing sales, and
expanding our customer base.
• Pray for God to release breakthrough and new beginnings as we enter the Thai New Year.
Thank you for standing with us! We are grateful for the many ways the Lord has been at work here, and we value your vital role in prayer.

Hard work and persistence are needed to survive in the fickle world of
Formulas and equations may have been Rebel Wilson's chosen path when she was
younger, but a brush with malaria taught her to see the funny side of life and
live her dream.
That lead to the 22-year-old's first play, The Westie Monologues, and her
springboard to life as a playwright. And actor. And producer. And theatre
company director.
``My mother says I'm arsy [lucky] but I'm not," she laughs. ``I just work my
arse off."
A consumate all-rounder, Wilson's job titles include writer, producer, actor
and co-director of the Push Up Theatre Company all while maintaining a
full-time load as a third year arts/law student at the University of NSW.
``Law isn't my first love," she says, ``but now I don't need anyone to
explain how contracts work."
In fact, her first career choice was mathematics. ``I was very academic at
high school and was always good with numbers," says Wilson. But a severe bout
of malaria, caught in 1998 while travelling as a Rotary International Youth
Ambassador for Australia through southern Africa, changed her perspective.
``I was very ill and when you have to lie down for a month it makes you think
about life. The whole African experience [took me away from] an academic path
and made me want to do something more creative. It helped me to become focused
on entertaining others."
Wilson returned to Australia, began volunteer work in Sydney's theatres and
joined the Australian Theatre for Young People.
Last year she performed in two NIDA student productions but was knocked back
three times for admission into the drama school.
``That was a blessing in disguise," she says. ``Now instead of being trained
just as an actor, I have acquired other skills needed to survive the
The experience in theatre opened doors and lead to other jobs. The Westie
Monologues, based on characters she encountered while growing up in Sydney's
western suburbs, is a case in point. She wrote, produced and performed in the
play which enjoyed full houses at the Sydney Fringe Festival and Belvoir Street
Theatre earlier this year.
``The big news is that my next play, Spunks, is coming out in September at
the Stables Theatre," she says. ``It's a musical/comedy about people who either
think they are good looking or really want to be good looking."
As well, Wilson is branching into television and film. ``I've been working
with Channel 7 on a new comedy show and I'm acting in a feature film, Fat Pizza,
which is being directed by Paul Fenech from SBS's Pizza show," she says.
But that's not all. At the end of the year, Wilson will travel to New York to
attend comedy and film workshops run by the New York Film Academy and Second
City Television. The trip is part of the $12,000 Lend Lease international
scholarship which is awarded to emerging creative artists.
And she is centre stage during this week's Sydney Writers' Festival. Next
Saturday Wilson will also appear with Sydney Theatre Company director Benedict
Andrews to discuss the issues involved in producing modern plays.
Today she works about 16 hours a day, depending on her schedule. But there
are no regrets about her choices: ``I like to take things one step at a time,
because the entertainment industry is very uncertain. But with creativity and
persistence, you can get [where] you want to go."
You can hear Rebel Wilson speak at the STC's Wharf Theatre from noon until
1.30pm on Saturday.

Age 22.

Quotes and news
The 13th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops was opened by Pope Benedict last Sunday. The synod's theme is New Evangelisation for the Transmission of the Christian Faith. The following are extracts from different speeches delivered during the synod.
Needed: a passion for announcing Christ
Pope Benedict, during his address inaugurating the synod said the new evangelisation should be characterised by the passion for announcing Christ to the world and the knowledge that God acts in the Church.
Faith, the Pope said, "must become a flame of love within us, a flame which burns in our lives and is propagated to our neighbours.
"This is the essence of evangelisation. How to communicate this truth (God's love) to the men and women of our time that they might learn of salvation? …We can only make known what He did. The Church did not begin with our actions but with the actions and word of God."
The Pope said there is need to bear witness even in dangerous situations. "It is precisely such witness in moments of difficulty that is a guarantee of credibility, because it implies a readiness to give our lives for that in which we believe."
Faith crisis caused by a 'secular tsunami'
The synod's relator general, Cardinal Donald Wuerl, Archbishop of Washington, DC, emphasised that "our proclamation is focused on Jesus, his Gospel and his way. Christian life is defined by an encounter with Jesus."
He then told a press conference the current crisis of faith can be attributed to a "tsunami of secular influence that has swept across the cultural landscape". Speaking on his experience as Archbishop of Washington, DC, the cardinal said traditional elements, such as family, marriage and the natural moral order have been greatly diminished due to the influence of secularism.
'Europe must be evangelised. It needs it'
Cardinal Péter Erdõ, president of the Council of European Episcopal Conferences, said: "Europe must be evangelised. It needs it.
"De-Christianisation is accompanied by repeated juridical, as well as physical, attacks against the visible presence of the manifestations of faith.
"The vast majority of cases of violence and of discrimination because of religious belief are acted out against Christians, especially Catholics, in Europe. In the majority of the continent, there is a spreading of ignorance about the Christian faith.
"Many of the mass media broadcast a presentation of the Christian faith and history that is full of lies, misinforming the public as to the content of our faith as well as to what makes up the reality of the Church."
Responding to a crisis
Cardinal John Tong Hon of Hong Kong said: "In Hong Kong, before the return of the sovereignty of the city to China in 1997, many families faced crises caused by fear of living under the Communist regime.
The term 'crisis' in the Chinese language is made up of two characters: 'danger' and 'opportunity'.
Thus, facing the crisis of in-security, even non-practising Catholics returned to the Church for spiritual support.
And many faithful attended catechesis, Bible and theology courses to deepen their own faith and to be evangelisers.
"Today our diocese has more than 1,000 well-trained volunteer catechists.
"This year more than 3,000 adults received baptism at the Easter Vigil."

try new formation or some new signings? where do you seem to be falling down? scoring? keeping clean sheets? etc
Largely 01/02 chat here but the 99/00 section is here - http://champman0102.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=243
I've been a casual player of the CM games since the early nauties when I got a copy of 99/00 for Christmas. This is a huge forum with a ton of different sub-sections and I'm not entirely sure where to post so I'll start here and go from there.
I recently started playing 99/00 again and am currently having my most successful spell as Tottenham manager to date. In my first season, I won the FA Cup and finished 8th and in the second I got to the final of the League Cup and finished 4th. I'm currently in my third season and my team is in freefall at the lower end of the league table and my 20 year old wonderkid (Zlatan Muslimovic) has gone from hitting 25 goals a season to only managing one goal by February. I've been playing 4-5-1 which is the formation I've found to be the most effective.
I'm posting here in the hope that someone can give me a few pointers to get my team back to winning ways as I don't want to throw all my progress away.

Defensively my team isn't too bad. I have a CB pairing of Sol Campbell and Rio Ferdinand (was lucky enough to get RF for £3.9m on a relegation release clause) and most of my good results have come from defensive tactics (playing behind the ball, man-marking the opposition's best players and hopefully getting a goal or two on the counter). I've only managed to win one game after going behind so scoring goals is definitely the problem.
Why dont you play 01/02
Yes, with with the current Tottenham squad!
I do play 01/02 (retail disc version) and have done for years but there are a few features that keep me going back to 99/00 and it's the first CM game I played so it has that extra nostalgia pull.
Personally, I like playing with the old databases. I wish we had retro databases so I could manage an early 80s Spurs with Glenn Hoddle and Ossie Ardiles.
There are retro databases
Welcome to the site
No retro database for 99/00 I'm afraid but there are ones available for 01/02!
The Alphabet Game #3
Try your luck at winning any trophy in your game but you must go in order from A-Z in the alphabet!
Click here to find out more and join in!
I've managed to revive my team's fortunes with a Pochettino style 4-2-3-1 (modified 4-3-3) and came within a hair's breadth of winning the league (3 more points would have done it). My league form over five seasons with more or less the same group of players reads 8th, 4th, 15th, 12th and 2nd.
One of the things I've learned from this last season is that you don't need an especially strong team to challenge for the title. Two of my best players wanted to move to bigger clubs and the squad was full of discontented players wanting new contracts after playing half a minute of football. A few bargain buy rookies and cast-offs from other Premier League teams is all you need.

Sandra Kantanen's works are only landscape photographs to a certain extent. Influenced by traditional Chinese landscape art, she searched for idyllic motifs in the holy mountains of China, but did not find what she was looking for.
"In my new work I have photographed mainly landscapes, still lifes and plants. And an occasional portrait too. The title "Shadow images" refers too an old idea of Plato, that everything perceived is a shadow of the world.
The objects or landscapes I photographed are of secondary importance. I work within certain traditions of image just to have a starting point for viewing.
I try to state; "visibility begins here". I have been greatly inspired by artists like Dawid, Timo Kelaranta and Hiroshi Sugimoto to name a few. They have all traced photography back to its own materiality. This is what interests me too."
It was only through the addition of fine art, that she managed to finalise her artistic expression. Today she digitally enhances her photographs from China, Japan, Finland and Tibet, thus creating blurring, distortions or stripes that resemble overexposure in parts.
In her own unique way, the young artist (*1974 in Helsinki), a graduate of the University of Art and Design talent factory, circumnavigates the edges of photography.
"As an artist I see myself as kind of philosopher. Everyday I ask myself questions like how is the world constructed and why. Photography is for me basically an attempt to construct a language for these questions."
