6 disc changer issues
99 WJ with the infinity 6 disc changer. Problem is the cartidge for the CD's wont lock in place. It was doing ok for a while and then it ejected the cartridge when it was switching CD's. since then I havent been able to get it to load.
It's a 13 year old device which uses a spring to keep the disc magazine in place...it may be time to say goodbye...if you are willing to do that you may have a chance at repairing it.

Re: 6 disc changer issues
Anyone know more specifics about this? My changer is doing the same thing. Yesterday I played with it a bit and it started working for about an hour then the magazine wont lock. I checked the spring and it is indeed there to return the catch. Im thinking about taking the changer apart but I dont see anything that sticks out of the ordinary. Anyone have any advice on this issue?
I asked a buddy who had an old pioneer changer in the house that wouldn't hold a magazine he said he replaced the magazine and then it worked.

Re: 6 disc changer issues
My issue isnt the magazine. I swapped magazine from my other WJ and it doesnt work either, but the one in the bad changer worked fine in the other WJ.
It was worth a shot...wish I could help.

Re: 6 disc changer issues
Re: 6 disc changer issues
Yeah I plan on it. Im just confused why it would work intermittently
Re: 6 disc changer issues
I took mine all apart last night. The return spring to hold the magazine was in place. However there was a cam arm that can block the spring from pulling the catch over. It seemed to be in the wrong place. I cleaned the hall effect sensor that controlled the timing of this gear and turned the motor a few times. Everything moved fine. I then put it back together and its all working now. Im not exactly sure what I did though .....

Surprise! Washington, D.C. is Still the Worst Place for Teens to Find Employment
Townhall's Political Calculations found that Washington, D.C. tops the list for the worst teenage employment/population ratio in the United States. Based on their chart, it appears that only 15 percent of D.C. teenagers age 16 to 19 are actually working, and they have taken the lead with dismal statistics for many years. Keep in mind that last year, D.C. fought tooth and nail to keep Walmart from building stores in the District by attempting to impose ridiculously inflated wages specifically geared to large retailers. According to the District council members' rationale, it was better to have no entry level jobs in D.C. than to have those that did not pay a "living" wage, although the District's current minimum wage increased to $9.50 an hour on July 1.
Also in the bottom ranks are California and New York. What state has the best teenage employment? North Dakota, with more than half of its 16-to-19 year olds working. If you recall, North Dakota's economy is booming thanks to oil and gas development, and its overall unemployment rate is the lowest in the nation.
Of the five worst performing states and D.C., three of them have a minimum wage above the federal minimum. Of the five best performing states, none of them has a higher minimum wage than the federal mandate of $7.25 an hour. So maybe economic growth is the key to employment after all, not artificial wage hikes.

Ear scratching and whining
Again, my 5-month-old male Schnauzer. Almost from the day we brought him home, he has scratched at his ears and shook his head. He doesn't do this constantly, but enough that I know it much really bother him. I learned that you had to pull the hair out of his ears when he is groomed (which I do), but this did not help. He continued with the scratching and shaking of his head. I took him to the vet and he pulled yet a lot more hair from his ears and went deep pulling the hair out (which he told me not to do that deeply). This seemed to help for a couple of weeks and now he is starting again to shake his head and scratch his ears. He is an inside dog and the only time he is outside is when I am with him. What would be suggestions on something I can buy to help his ears?

It also could be yeast if there is an odor... Boo had yeast in her ears when she came home and I had to use some solution in them which she wasn't particularly fond of.
Also, I have to clean Xander's ears pretty regularly. For some reason they just get filthy and start to annoy him.

Did the vet check to see if it was an ear infection? It sounds like an ear infection since he is shaking his head. Is there an odor?

I have this same problem, and my master used some stuff from the pet store to clean my ears. They took me and had my hair cut, and all my hair removed from my ears, and nothing was wrong with them, as th vet said. But, once cleaned mine dont bother me any more.

George Monbiot provides a good summary of silly government spending (Bins, roads, unwinnable wars: this is a government with money to burn, 4 October) but he missed a little-talked-about but glaring example, tax relief on pension contributions.
All taxpayers can contribute to a pension plan. As a basic-rate taxpayer I can contribute £800; the insurance company collects £200 from Revenue & Customs so the contribution becomes £1,000. However, a higher-rate taxpayer can claim further relief of £200, so his £1,000 contribution has only cost him £600. Where does this additional tax relief come from? It can only come from the basic-rate taxpayer and/or the myriad of other taxes that have to be paid. Can anyone give me a single reason why basic-rate taxpayers should contribute extra money towards the pension of a higher-rate taxpayer, particularly as "we're all in this (mess) together".
By definition the higher-rate taxpayer can afford to save more for his pension; he does not need an additional subsidy from the rest of us.
Our pension system was probably appropriate when it was designed, but it has quietly become a massive transfer of funds from the lower-paid to the higher-paid, exactly the opposite of what we are told by our governments. I understand that the subsidy is about £3bn, which compares well with Monbiot's examples. But don't hold your breath for change. After all, our MPs are higher-rate taxpayers who voted themselves the best pension scheme in the UK.
C Garstang
• As George Monbiot points out, this government, while forcing austerity on its citizens, is being profligate with military spending. Nowhere is this more true than the spending on the Trident nuclear-armed submarine fleet, which Monbiot didn't mention. At an annual cost of £2bn and an estimated cost for its replacement of more than £76bn, Trident is swallowing public money like there's no tomorrow. (Of course, if it were ever used, there wouldn't be.) At all the party conferences, it seems the order of the day was: "Shh, don't mention the war or Trident."

• George Monbiot may be underestimating the fragility of democratic government. Britain has always kept its armed forces well away from Britain, and the two aircraft carriers in production can be equipped with aircraft in a future budget after they are built. The undeclared intention, of both keeping the army busy in foreign parts and buying expensive toys for the generals, may be to lessen the danger, common to all democracies, of military coup.

Greening Your Kitchen
Okay, so you buy organic food, shop at farmers' markets, and fill the recycling bin every week. It also makes sense to go green when it's time to remodel your kitchen, especially when the choices you make can save you some green by slicing your home's energy use. Besides reducing your carbon footprint, some greener choices work far better than conventional products while improving indoor air quality in the bargain.
E-Readers VS. Old Fashioned Books—Which is Greener?
A relatively new phenomenon is the E-Reader, be it Kindle, iPad, or a number of other new competitors coming into the marketplace. When you think about it, these devices would seem to be more environmentally friendly than your typical paper and cardboard book, even a paperback.

How to tell if a product isn't as green as it claims? Pay attention to the smell, says Jennifer Schwab, Chief Sustainability Officer for Sierra Club Green Home.
"If the aroma is pungent, it is safe to say that the furniture was manufactured using a high amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and chemical toxins," she says. "Some VOCs are known carcinogens, and they can cause many health problems. I have noticed this with some Pottery Barn items."
She also suggests that you pay attention to furniture tags and don't be afraid to ask the sales associate for information. "Do your research," she says. "Ask where was it manufactured, by whom, how far away did it have to travel to reach its final destination, and are fair trade practices used to manufacture the product?"

…The Sierra Club recently launched a very comprehensive Web site called "Sierra Club Green Home," full of money-saving tips for making your household more environmentally friendly. (It also has quizzes to determine your home's carbon footprint and environmental health.)
Home Green Home With The Sierra Club. By Tom Zeller Jr. March 30, 2009.
Two of the most frequently asked questions I receive from readers look something like this:
1) "I want to try to improve the efficiency and sustainability of my home and the products I purchase, but I don't know where to begin finding out what's available, and what sorts of incentives there might be for me. Is there a centralized resource for this sort of information?"
2) "Why is being green so expensive?"
Valid questions both – which is why I was intrigued by an invitation to chat with the principals behind a new Web site bearing the imprimatur of the nation's oldest and arguably most influential environmental organization: the Sierra Club.

Sierra Club Green Home. Posted by Sarah Rich. April 4, 2009.
In 1892, when John Muir founded the Sierra Club, the only "web" he knew about was the kind spun by spiders, and social networking was something people did by riding horse-drawn buggies between each other's houses. But Muir's seminal environmental conservation organization has kept up with the pace of change…

It's nice to be proud of your home. That's why you clean the bathroom and fluff the cushions.

Which was better?
This is like a ¿Quien es mas macho? thread between Chuck Norris and Mr. Bean.
Jack Nicholson
I have to agree with Jangler. Cesar Romero was the absolute best... Nicholson 2nd, Ledger 3rd.
Thats who I'm talking about
I think that they were both good since they actually were two totally different roles in a way.
Ledger did an awesome job in Dark Knight!
Ledger's character was a true villian that would scare the poo out of any human being if he existed.
Nichloson was Jack in make-up.
Ledger's character was a true villian that would scare the sh*t out of any human being if he existed.
Nichloson was Jack in make-up.
Very true.
I know Nicholson gets loads of acting kudos and is considered ultra-cool, but to me a whole lot of his roles just seem like the same guy.
Ledger's performance was legendary. Everything from the voice (hiding his accent) to acting past the makeup to being just plain scary. Since I also consider Christian Bale the ideal Batman, that movie was easily the best Batman ever.
After Ledger's performance Ive forgotten anyone else that ever attempted the role.
Never liked the Nicholson portrayal of the Joker even a little.

Positive Feedback ISSUE 69
Kanye West, Yeezus
Let's face it. It's easy to dislike Kanye West. His antics make it nearly impossible to have anything but disdain for him. His twitter posts are ridiculous. The ubiquitous tabloids pervasively celebrate the fodder from his personal life by reporting every move he makes. If all that weren't enough, Kanye might have the most exorbitant ego on the planet… and it's a large planet.
So why do we tolerate him? He's an artist of the highest order. A musical innovator operating at the top of his game, Kanye creates albums that are extraordinary and fecund.
A key characteristic of musical innovation is its unconventional sound. Kanye West's latest album, Yeezus, might be a tough listen for anybody not familiar with his music or looking for the typical hip-hop album. Hell, there's nothing typical about his albums and they're a challenging listen, even for longtime fans. In a way, that's what separates Kanye from his peers. He first challenges himself creatively, letting the resulting music speak for itself. He doesn't want to repeat his previous efforts and the music often shows as an inner struggle.
Yeezus at times presents an interesting dichotomy of personality. "I Am a God" displays we are familiar with, the boisterous egocentric persona pampered from fame and his confident ego. He raps:
I just talked to Jesus
For most, these lyrics are blasphemous and on the surface, they are. However, is Kanye really saying he's a God? Well, not exactly. He is telling listeners his musical efforts are as large as Jesus's message. He acknowledges there's no entity higher than God, but also believes his music is a close second having been rewarded with talent from his years of devout Christianity. "Tryin' to stack these millions" is a biblical reference to The Tower of Babel, as money, to Kanye, is a unified language and easily scattered and confounded by God. Granted, this is a stretch for some of his harshest critics, but let's not forget, Kanye West's first musical success was "Jesus Walks."
On "New Slaves," Kanye speaks candidly about racism and stereotypes.
You see it's broke nigga racism
He offers his experiences with racism from two different vantages. First he gives us the familiar example of prejudice, that of being treated unfairly from race and low economic status. Not stopping there, he offers racism from the opposite view of a successful minority and the stereotype of being careless with wealth.
Love him or hate him, you can't ignore him. Kanye West is now a household name. Think about that. He's unfortunately mostly talked about more for his negative qualities and that's mostly his fault. But history has a way for forgetting about such things and when all is said and done, Kanye West's music will speak for itself. Yeezus certainly does.

The Houston Texans have activated offensive guard Brandon Brooks from the Active/Non-Football Injury List after he passed his physical. Brooks has been out since the start of training camp with an undisclosed injury.
Brooks started all 16 games in 2013, where he became one of the best interior offensive lineman in the NFL. The return of Brooks is a boost to an offensive line that has been decimated by injury throughout training camp.
When Brooks is completely healthy and ready to play expect him to start at right guard with Ben Jones and Xavier Su'a-Filo to compete for the left guard position for the season.

Mom in NM chases down child abductor; man arrested

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A mother whose 4-year-old was being abducted chased the suspect down and crashed her vehicle into his car, triggering a manhunt and the arrest of the suspect, Albuquerque police said Thursday.
The young girl was playing in her yard at St. Anthony's [auth] Plaza Apartments in Albuquerque's North Valley about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday when a group of teenagers saw the kidnapping and ran to alert the girl's mother, police said.
The family called 911 and the mother jumped into her vehicle and gave chase for about seven miles, unaware the man had pushed the girl out of the silver Buick before fleeing the apartment complex, authorities said. The girl was found wandering nearby, uninjured, police said.
According to police, the mother, who has not been identified, followed the suspect and finally rammed into his car near an intersection. The suspect fled on foot, police said.
The attempted kidnapping sparked a massive manhunt Wednesday as more than two dozen officers went door-to-door in the area looking for the suspect. A helicopter with heat-sensor cameras also was sent in for the search, authorities said.
Police arrested David Hernandez, 31, on Thursday afternoon in Rio Rancho after he saw his picture on television and called police. After being interviewed, he was charged with kidnapping, police spokeswoman Tasia Martinez said.
As he was being taken to jail, Hernandez told reporters that he was innocent. It was not known if Hernandez had an attorney.
Kevin Abar, assistant special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations, confirmed to The Associated Press that federal agents also helped Albuquerque police with the investigation.
In February, HSI and local enforcement agencies launched the Sexual Predator and Exploitation Enforcement Detail, or SPEED — a task force aimed at finding missing and abducted children.
Police were also investigating a possible connection to the abduction and sexual assault of a 6-year-old from the same apartment complex last week. The suspect in that case was described as a male in a silver or gray vehicle.
Gilbert Hernandez, 25, a resident at the St. Anthony's, said he found the 6-year-old last week and was the one who contacted police. "This place isn't safe. People always let their kids run around here," Hernandez said. "We are all on the lookout now."

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson made it clear recently that he doesn't believe there is a New England Patriots defensive back that can cover him.
It's a bold proclamation from Johnson, though he's had some success against the Patriots during his career, hauling in four touchdown passes.
Johnson's words got us thinking about possible ways the Patriots could counter him tomorrow, which is the focus of the debut of "X's and O's thoughts," which we'll aim to use each week in this space.
Concept: Aqib Talib shadowing Johnson
Talib didn't want to get into a verbal back-and-forth with Johnson this week, instead opting for praise of the five-year veteran. But as the Patriots' best cornerback, it could be Talib who is called upon to handle Johnson, as the Patriots used him, at-times, to shadow an opponent's top receiver during the 2012 season.
Johnson is an efficient player from the slot whose game is more dependent on his precise route-running and quickness than it is his speed. Talib is typically the Patriots' left cornerback, though he does have the requisite traits to kick inside to the slot if needed.
One of the issues in shadowing Johnson with Talib is that it puts the onus on the Patriots' other cornerbacks to match up with Buffalo's speed players, highlighted by receivers T.J. Graham and Marquise Goodwin. Talib is a talented perimeter cornerback who can neutralize such speed players with his own speed and length.
The Patriots did not have games where they exclusively used Talib to shadow an opposing receiver, rather he was called upon for particular stretches to take on such players as Andre Johnson of the Texans.
While it seems unlikely that they'd use Talib strictly in a shadow role over Johnson, if Johnson starts to have some success on Sunday, it's a wrinkle the Patriots could turn to on an as-needed basis.
Either way, we'll find out on Sunday whether Johnson's words were accurate or an underestimation of the Patriots' secondary.

AICR HealthTalk
Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN
American Institute for Cancer Research
Q: Is it true that coconut oil can help prevent dementia such as Alzheimer's disease?
A: It's too early to know whether coconut oil plays a role in preventing dementia. You can easily find articles promoting coconut oil to prevent or battle dementia, as well as diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases. Although individual stories can generate a lot of hope, according to the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database, one of the "gold standard" references for foods and supplements like this, we simply do not have enough evidence to evaluate potential effectiveness of this oil for dementia. Coconut oil is high in saturated fat. Research is far less clear about the cholesterol-raising effects of saturated fat than it once seemed, but the particular saturated fatty acids in coconut oil seem to pose heart health risk. Studies are conflicting on whether coconut oil raises HDL (good) cholesterol. Some coconut oil fans favor it as an anti-inflammatory food. Preliminary research suggests virgin coconut oil, which is oil not treated with chemicals or heat processing, could have anti-inflammatory properties, but results are mixed and more studies are needed. Meanwhile, a wide range of foods and eating patterns are linked more consistently in studies with reduced risk for dementia and other health benefits. A study that followed mid-life adults for 14 years found that those with highest scores for an overall healthy diet were 86 to 90 percent less likely to develop dementia in later adult life. That came down to the same choices that reduce risk of cancer and heart disease and promote a healthy weight: eating plenty of vegetables, fruit and fish; cooking with unsaturated oils; avoiding candy and sugar-sweetened drinks and limiting added sugar; keeping alcohol to moderate use (one or two drinks per week in women and one to five in men in this study); and limiting sausage and saturated fat. Keep mindful of emerging research, but for now, the safer bets for reducing dementia are a Mediterranean or other eating pattern that focuses on whole plant foods, along with regular exercise.
Q: If someone switches to only unprocessed and low-sodium foods, is there a risk they won't get enough sodium?
A:You'll almost surely get plenty of sodium in your diet even if you eat only unprocessed and low-sodium foods. The most recent national recommendations call for keeping sodium to no more than 1500-2300 milligrams (mg) daily (depending on age and other factors). Those are the amounts we should not exceed. Some low-sodium foods contain up to 140 mg of sodium per serving, and even if you eat only special low-sodium bread, cereal, vegetables, soups and condiments and salt-free fats, you'll still total at least 250 to 500 mg of sodium per day. That's more than we really need, as people can survive with even less than 200 mg daily. The major exception to this would be people who sweat excessively from extremely hard labor in heat, such as might be experienced by foundry workers or elite athletes. Some medical conditions can also cause large sodium losses, but these are quite unusual. For most of us, lack of enough sodium is just not an issue.
Our Mission: The American Institute for Cancer Research champions the latest and most authoritative scientific research from around the world on cancer prevention and survival through diet, weight and physical activity, so that we can help people make informed lifestyle choices to reduce their cancer risk.
We have contributed over $105 million for innovative research conducted at universities, hospitals and research centers across the country. Find evidence-based tools and information for lowering cancer risk, including AICR's Recommendations for Cancer Prevention, at www.aicr.org.

"Erdrich is a true original... [and] one of our major writers: She illuminates large swaths of U.S. history and culture, and [The Red Covertible] is a good demonstration of her compelling stylistic innovations, not to mention her literary cunning." —Washington Post Book World
From New York Times bestselling author Louise Erdrich, fresh off her acclaimed Pulitzer-Prize finalist The Plague of Doves, comes The Red Convertible, a stunning collection of short stories selected by the author herself from over three decades of work. A veritable masterclass in the art of short fiction, The Red Convertible features 31 previously published stories and 5 never-before-published pieces. Presented in one collection for the first time, the stories of The Red Convertible cement Louise Erdich's position in the pantheon of consummate, innovative writers of the American short story alongside such luminaries as Flannery O'Connor and Charles Baxter.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
This unique volume brings together for the first time three decades of short stories by one of the most innovative and exciting writers of our day. A master of the genre, Louise Erdrich has selected these pieces—thirty works that first appeared in magazines as well as six unpublished stories—from among a much larger oeuvre. She has ordered them chronologically but also by theme and voice.
Erdrich is a fearless and inventive writer. In her fictional world, the mystical can emerge from the everyday, the comic turn suddenly tragic, and violence and beauty inhabit a single emotional landscape. Each character in these stories is full of surprises, and the twists and leaps of Erdrich's imagination are made all the more meaningful by the deeper truth of human feeling that underlies them.
In "Saint Marie," the ardent longing that propels a fourteen-year-old Indian girl up the hill to the Sacred Heart Convent and into a life-and-death struggle with the diabolical Sister Leopolda fuels a story of breathtaking power and originality. "Knives" tells of a homely butcher's assistant, a devoted reader of love stories, who falls for a good-looking predator, a traveling salesman, with devastating consequences for each of them. "Le Mooz" evokes the stinging flames of passion in old age—"Margaret had exhausted three husbands, and Nanapush had outlived his six wives"—with unexpected humor that turns suddenly bittersweet at the story's close. A passion for music in "Naked Woman Playing Chopin" proves more powerful than any experience of carnal or spiritual love; indeed, when Agnes DeWitt removes her clothing to enter the music of a particular composer, she sweeps all before her and transcends mortality and time itself.
In The Red Convertible, readers can follow the evolution of narrative styles, the shifts and metamorphoses in Erdrich's fiction, over the past thirty years. These stories, spellbinding in their boldness and beauty, are a stunning literary achievement.About the Author:
Louise Erdrich is the author of fourteen novels as well as volumes of poetry, short stories, children's books, and a memoir of early motherhood. Her novel The Round House won the 2012 National Book Award. She lives in Minnesota, where she owns the bookstore Birchbark Books.

Bloodlines: The Randall-Parker FamilySunday 10 October 2010, 1:30pm ABC1
Meet the Reverend Lenore Parker, a Deacon of the Anglican Church, who, along with her youngest daughter, Frances Belle Parker, follow the beat of a different drum, yet like other Yaegl People, draw their strength from those generations that have walked before them.
MIRIAM COROWA: Hello, I'm Miriam Corowa. Welcome to Message Stick's Bloodlines series. The Randall-Parkers are proud Yaegl people from the Clarence River Region of the north coast of New South Wales, an area that has produced its fair share of activists and sporting legends. Reverend Lenore Randall-Parker and her artist daughter Frances follow the beat of a different drum. Yet, like other Yaegl people, they draw their strength from those generations that have walked before them. I hope you enjoy Bloodlines: The Randall-Parker Family.
LENORE PARKER: And that was the place over here where the bus... We'd have to walk up from school.
FRANCES BELLE PARKER: Every time we go over to Ullagundi Island, I can't even begin to imagine how special their time was growing up on the island. But by portraying that in my artwork, I hope that I'm at least beginning to share these stories of what my people went through with the wider audience.
LENORE PARKER: Your pop, when he came home from war, how he was waiting over there, and he sent out a cooey and his dad... I think that's quite remarkable when you see a group of people who were fighting against the odds to have this inner strength that they did have. And so even though our old people aren't living with us, but the memories are still very much a part of us. Here they are. They're all waiting for us. Gran, all our old mob. They're all here.
I'm a Yaegl woman, born in this beautiful part of Australia, the north-east coast of Australia, in Yaegl country, and I'm the eldest daughter of the marriage of Wallace and Jesse. And...I have nine other brothers and sisters from that union.
My first cradle was a chest of drawers, in one of the drawers and my cousins, who, like the elders, they tell me that they used to line up when I first came home out of hospital to welcome me into...my place on Ullagundi Island. Then Mum told me that they had a big flood in that same year. And the protection board, they moved us then over to Ashby. And...we lived there until I was eight. It was over at Ashby that I lived with my parents and my grandparents and all the rest of the community who had moved from the island.
Because we were displaced, in a way, from after having to move from the island, and you had no accommodation, and so you were living in all these tents and our little hut over there, but it wasn't... I didn't personally see it as a struggle, but as an adult, after listening to the stories that the elders would share with us, you could see that it was a struggle. And my earliest recollection was living in this little tin shack, with dirt floors. We'd have... Is it a corn bag or a potato bag? I'm not quite sure. But you'd have bags on the window so they were your windows. But, um... I mean, I can call it now as that but, at the time, that was my home and that was all I knew and it was sort of like... that little place that held so many wonderful memories for me.
FRANCES BELLE PARKER: Because a lot of my work is predominantly about the landscape and where certain places are of importance to the Yaegl people, in the back of my mind, I've always got some of the stories about places that Nan had mentioned to me or that Mum had spoken about, or my other relatives. I guess the first moment I knew that I wanted to be an artist was when I was three years old. Three or four, I was in pre-school, and it's one of those butterfly paintings that you do. You put a blob or a couple of blobs of coloured paint in the centre of the page, fold the page, spread it out, and you open it up and there's a butterfly. I think I was just completely in awe of opening up the paper and seeing something that was completely different. So the paint had become marbled and mixed together and created its own colours. But also...just what you can do with art. Sharing your story visually is just as important as getting up in front of the world and speaking about it. It's people's way of getting their stories across. It's about mapping my community story and, in a lot of the paintings, I'll actually include three of things and so that three instinctively represents myself and my two sisters because I know whatever story I've got, my sisters will have the same story as me or, if not, it will be really similar and so it's quite important for me to incorporate my sisters in my work. Just to be able to share that with them.
LENORE PARKER: Right from my earliest memories, of living at Ashby in this little hut, with dirt floors and the bag for the windows, and then on the bed, which were, I forget, the Wagga Waggas, and that would be like our doonas as we know them today and...like, the mats on the floor, they would've been the bags too, those big bags. But...it was there, kneeling or sitting on the dirt floor and saying our prayers with your parents there with you, both your mummy and your daddy there to, you know, guide you. So it was... That was, yeah, the start of my faith journey. Church over at Ashby on the Sunday morning would be sitting under a tree on logs and I remember when Cousin Kevin, when he was preaching on John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that whoever believes in him you know, will have eternal life." I said, oh, yes, I want to be a part of that. So at the age of eight, that was when I... right from then, saying, yes, I wanted to follow God. And it was whilst at Ashby that... where I started school at Maclean Public School, walking up the Ashby road and sometimes we'd get a lift. Once I started school, I didn't realise that my mum would come up to the P&C meetings at the school. She'd walk about maybe five kilometres from where we camped over at Ashby up to the ferry, then walking up to where the Maclean Police Station is and then up to the primary school where I went to school. So I think it just gave me then that sense of the determination of this woman who was my mother.
FRANCES BELLE PARKER: My nan, she was known as Nanny Randall to us, she has played a pivotal role in, I guess, just the person that I've become but also the artwork that I create and I remember seeing Nan as a young child and my thoughts of her never changed from being this big, strong Yaegl woman. Although she was... she had a big presence, but she was so gentle, like one of the most gentle people that you could ever meet. Mmm, and it was her stories that had impacted on myself and my sisters and she always seemed to be there. Even when she wasn't. And even now, when she's not here, her spirit always is. Mmm. Nan was always telling us girls stories about ghost or gumbuls as we'd call them. I think that was her way of keeping all of her grandchildren in line and whenever you'd hear a story about a gumbul, you wouldn't dare go outside after dark or um... You just made sure that you were extra good when you were around Nan. Mmm. (LAUGHS)
SUSAN PARKER: Nan just had the most gentle nature and um...she had an open-door policy and anyone could pop in to her place and have a cup of tea with her. And she'd always make time for you. She just loved to have a yarn. She loved to go up the road and get the gossip when she lived out at Hillcrest. Like, she was happiest when she was with her family.
LENORE PARKER: When we moved back over to Ullagundi Island, as young children, my earliest recollections over there would be the women. The women would have their washing, their tubs, under the shade of the fig tree, this giant fig tree, that we'd all sit under. The women would sit in a group doing their washing and having a big yarn-up, and the men, they would draw the... or get the water out of the well and fill their tubs up. And then we as kids would be playing there.
The way that we lived, in a community, the way that we were brought up in the family, everyone had to do their own little jobs and so it was this sense of this shared leadership of raising the child and doing the things together in that community that was best for each and every one of us.
FRANCES BELLE PARKER: The sense of sharing that the whole community had over there. If someone went fishing, they'd make sure they caught enough to be shared among all the families on the island, not just their immediate family. It makes you realise how different it was for us growing up... compared to where my mum grew up on the island and just how strong the sense of community was back then. Just going by the stories that my nan had told me whilst we were growing up and the stories that my mum and my aunties and uncles would tell me about how hard Nan had it. When they were living on the island, she had to row the kids across the river and then drop them off near the Harwood Bridge or the Fish Co-op and then the kids had to walk into school. If you know the area, you know just how far that is. But for my nan to row over there to drop them off and then to pick them up later, it's just amazing.
LENORE PARKER: Well, when I think of my mum, Jesse Laurie Randall, she was a very quiet, gentle spoken lady. And through her gentleness, she led by example. For me, looking back on her now, it was the inner strength, the inner quality of this woman who gave...to not only me but to all her children, gave that sense of just how important they were to her. Even though things used to happen on the island, that, um...for example, you'd have the Welfare Board coming over with the doctors and the nurses to give you these great big tablets that, oh, almost the size of your, (LAUGHS) you know, your little finger. Giving you these big worm tablets and then having this horrible castor oil to drink so...you could be de-wormed. So in lots of ways, we were the cleanest kids! (LAUGHS) We must've been so... You know, when you look at it now, through the adults' eyes, you think, wow! for your parents - the things they had to go through. And I remember every time that the manager would come with these health people, um...the place would just be reeking of Venol. I had no idea then of why that was so until you started hearing the stories then about kids being taken away. And so the fear of our parents and our families, the adults on that island, um...what they had to go through and, like, every month endure that. And I think you must realise that...our families, they wouldn't tell you any things like that. Our parents were just so instilled with fear of having their children taken away that they weren't allowed to speak language and do their dancing ceremonies, their sacred ceremonies, for the fear of having their kids taken away. I think that's quite remarkable when you see a group of people who are fighting against the odds. And for them to have this great inner strength that they did have.
FRANCES BELLE PARKER: There was an installation that I created about five years ago called Mapping Ullagundi and that was comprised of these 10,000 wooden pegs. And on each side of the peg, I've handwritten "Ullagundi Island" and so I had to write it 20,000 times. And I remember Mum asking me, "Do you want us to help you with this?" (LAUGHS) And at first, I thought it was a good idea but then I thought - no, they can't because it became a ritual, just writing the words and I knew that it had to be my hands that wrote the words "Ullagundi Island" on each of the pegs. And so those pegs are then dipped into a white plaster and each time they're installed, they're installed in the concentric shape of Ullagundi Island. And the plaster is intended to gradually flake off. By flaking off, it represents the people, the Yaegl people, and the other people that were put onto Ullagundi Island when the early settlers came to the area. It's our people now releasing themselves from the shackles and the constraints that were once placed on them by being put onto that island in the first place.
LENORE PARKER: I guess, what I wanted to instil in my children, or both Tony and I wanted to instil in our children, is those rich values of knowing who you are and you don't have to be... like, to follow the crowd. They were allowed to be themselves and to be safe in their skin.
FRANCES BELLE PARKER: My dad was a non-Indigenous man. He was extremely passionate about helping Aboriginal people and that's why he became a public defender to defend the public that couldn't afford...to get the big-name lawyers or whatever. He went out of his way to help Aboriginal communities and the people within them. I guess, after my parents broke up, I was only three at the time, I think, and we were living out at Dubbo, but my parents were determined to still make it work.
SUSAN PARKER: Even though Mum and Dad separated when I was four, um... They were such good friends. The fact that he would come and have Christmas with us every single year, that was just... I grew up thinking that was the norm, when, in fact, it's the exception. Just all of us here together, we would always head out to Nan's for a big Christmas lunch.
FRANCES BELLE PARKER: It was Nan's cooking and just being out at Nan's house and eating, (LAUGHS) eating until you couldn't move! But also having all of our extended cousins up for holidays, like, in the school holidays and just the time that we got to spend together.
SUSAN PARKER: But I never felt anything was ever lacking. I mean, there were no gaps. We had each other.
FRANCES BELLE PARKER: Mum and Dad's priority for us girls was how important education was. So...and that's the one thing that has been embedded in each of us. Whilst you were growing up...
SUSAN PARKER: Yeah.
FRANCES BELLE PARKER: ..you can do whatever, just get your education. That's what matters. Mmm.
SUSAN PARKER: Yeah, Mum and Dad would both always say just do your best. I don't care what mark you get, just as long as you do your best. Yeah, and as long as you've tried your hardest.
FRANCES BELLE PARKER: I think by constantly having both parents in the picture, even though it was Mum that was raising us, it was still Dad that would continue to support us and he would go out of his way to spend time with his daughters. And I remember Dad saying that anything to do with our education... he would always pay for, no matter what, and so I think I snuck in a few art trips, because they were educating me, into that equation! In the year 2000, I was lucky enough to enter an award called the Blake Prize for religious art. But it was with the first glance of this entry form that was handed to me by an artist friend in South Australia. I just had this immediate vision in my mind and it was of the rainbow serpent with the tongue forming the crucifix. And I just thought - gosh, I'd never experienced anything like that before. And so, as soon as I got home, I called up Mum and I told her about this vision and she goes, "Gosh, you've gotta paint it. You've gotta do it." The reason why I painted The Journey, which is the work that won the Blake Prize, was because I felt, at the age of 18, I needed to express that...I don't understand why there are so many wars that have started because of religion or whatever. And...I guess it was a way of sharing my view that, no matter how you look at it, Aboriginal spirituality, Christianity, any of the other religions, they all believe in one creator and so that's why I did the work - The Journey.
FRANCES BELLE PARKER: Well, the day that Mum got ordained as a deacon, that was probably the biggest day of her life.
PRIEST:..Holy Spirit, upon your servant, the Lord, whom we set apart by the laying on of our hands...
SUSAN PARKER: It was so powerful, the actual service, it was really, really radical actually. When we were sitting in the church, it was really, really quite surreal, that we were in an Anglican church and as formal as all the services that I'd been to before. There was just this sense of belonging because they incorporated so many Aboriginal aspects to the service. It was just really, really memorable. And it just meant so much.
PRIEST: Brothers and sisters in Christ, I present you Lenore, who's been ordained deacon in the Church of God.
FRANCES BELLE PARKER: Myself and my sisters, we were all so proud of her. It's been something that she's been working at for so long, such a long time, 20-plus years, and for her to finally reach her goal, um... And to be able to share that moment with her whole community and her family was so special.
LENORE PARKER: (SPEAKS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE) That means "Greetings, my brothers and sisters" and I can see at the back there Aunty Shirley and Aunty Jesse, there they are. Yes, that's our father's language. But on behalf of all my precious people here, and I know it was through the faithful prayers of all my ancestors that I am standing here. So I stand with my elders, wherever I go, they will be with me, I will take them on this journey. So may the god of love and the god of peace just gently enfold each and every one of you in the arms of love. Thank you.
FRANCES BELLE PARKER: Growing up, going to church, tagging along with Mum most of the time... it was always something that me and my sisters were kind of sceptical about, going along and we'd all said to Mum at some stage that, "Mum, we don't need to go to church," or, "We don't need to go just because you're going. We'll find our own way." And that's exactly what's happened.
I do know that there is a god and without the Aboriginal spirituality or today's Christianity, that I wouldn't be where I am today. And so it's definitely impacted my whole family story.

London homeowners looking to move from a one-bedroom to a two-bedroom property will find that extra room costing almost £100,000, thanks to property values nearly doubling as buyers move up the ladder.
That's according to research for the London Evening Standard from Barclays, whose analysis of 50,000 mortgage applications found that London homeowners can expect to pay an average of £91,000 for the second bedroom, compared with a national average of £26,000. Those living in the North-East, however, pay only £10,000 more to move from a one to a two-bedroom home.
For Londoners wishing to take the next step up the property ladder, the figures become even more inflated: the mortgage data show they can expect to pay, on average, £154,000 for that third bedroom.
Families looking to move from a three-bedroom to a four-bedroom house incur an average price hike of £259,652 across London.
The increases are expected to surprise homeowners in the capital as a separate survey revealed that Londoners estimate that a move from a three-bedroom to a four-bedroom house should cost just under £100,000 extra. In fact, as mentioned above, the figure is likely to be more than double that.
As a result, Barclays found, the governors of the Bank of Mum and Dad, who might have thought their mortgage-application days were over after helping children to become first-time buyers, are being turned to once again. Its mortgage data showed that 43% of homeowners turn to family to help them rise up the property ladder.
"Unless the so-called second-stepper and others moving up the ladder have enjoyed growth in the value of their present home, they face challenges," says David Hollingworth of the mortgage adviser London & Country. "Equity remains crucial in the purchase of a new home, and is key in deciding the mortgage rates available. Of course, the buyer also has to be able to show that an increase in mortgage borrowing will be affordable, something that could be beyond the means of some even if they have enjoyed growth in their property value."
Parents and other family members who want to help their children to buy a larger (or first) property without giving up extra cash could consider a guarantor mortgage. These take into account the income of another individual, usually a parent, as well as the buyer. To keep the tax implications simple, the parents or other mortgage helpers are not listed as owners but are legally liable for repayments and arrears. As a result, the extra safety net means lenders will often offer a home loan where they might not otherwise, and can sometimes even trim the minimum deposit demanded or interest rate.
"Some lenders, such as The Mortgage Works, offer specific guarantor mortgages," Hollingworth adds. "It offers a full-liability option of a two-year, fixed-rate mortgage at 3.99%, available up to 75% loan to value with a 1% fee."
Guarantor mortgages can also be used to cover just the extra portion of the mortgage above the amount covered by your income. TMW's limited liability deal, where the guarantor agrees to cover only the "top slice" rather than the whole loan, offers a rate of 0.25%. "It is a challenging environment for London homeowners to make their way up the property ladder," Andy Gray, head of mortgages at Barclays admits. "Family support is important in helping them handle the sizeable price increments involved in upsizing properties." But any parents signing up to guarantor mortgages for their children should be wary. The additional security that they put against the property will be at risk if their offspring default on the mortgage.Reuse content

Recycled Life
Recycled Life. If you think your job stinks, this short film might help put things in perspective. Documenting the lives and work of those who sustain themselves and their families by picking through the 40 acres of Guatemala City's garbage dump, Leslie Iwerks (granddaughter of Ubbe Iwerks animator, cartoonist, and special-effects technician) focuses her lens on the hazardous conditions and the resulting tragedies for these guajeros. Narrated by Golden Globe-winner Edward James Olmos, the film's poetic script provides balance to the ugliness of circling vultures, heaps of trash, and governmental indifference. Despite the stench, many love the freedom afforded them by their self-employment in the dump and worry that governmental "improvements" will destroy their way of life. Full of facts and figures to examine the problem (apparently to garner support for the charitable programs that educate and offer hope to these families), you may feel that you need to take notes just in case there's a quiz later. Examining the societal causes (illiteracy and poverty) and the effects (significantly reducing landfill) of their work, Iwerks documents the best and worst of human nature. Ultimately, what resonates is the compassion and joy, despite their hardships, in the lives of this rejected populace. (Sunday, November 12, 11 a.m., Cinema Paradiso; 38 minutes.)

Video Highlights
BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell's softball team (25-25, 8-7 Big South) made its "Strikeout Cancer Day" memorable with a 5-4 thrilling victory over Coastal Carolina (33-17, 10-8 Big South) on Saturday, April 21, at Amanda Littlejohn Stadium. The Camels took two of three games in the conference series on the weekend.
The nationwide "Strikeout Cancer Day" event had special significance for Campbell's softball program with the Camels renaming the team's newly renovated softball stadium for former catcher Amanda Littlejohn, who passed away after a four year battle from cancer on Sept 1, 2011, in a special ceremony on Friday evening, April 20. On Saturday all members of the program wore specially made black t-shirt as jerseys for the event with the word "Camels" in bright pink lettering on the front of the shirt. The team went one step further and put the name of a loved one, family member or friend that that has been affected by cancer on the back of their uniforms in a sign of remembrance and honor for the special day.
Sophomore Olivia Scarborough (8-3) was steady in allowing four runs in six innings to earn the victory. The loss was taken by Coastal's Ashley Bagwell (10-8). Bagwell was tagged with five runs and nine hits in her six innings of work. Junior Brittany Arnn earned her first save of the season when she was called on to get out of runner on first, no-out situation with the team clinging to a one-run lead.
Coastal scored a run in the opening inning. Brooke Donovan walked, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and scored the first run on Cacia Pierre's two-out double to left field.
The Camels answered and tied the game up with a run in the bottom of the frame. Junior Sarah Forgacs reached on an infield single. A sacrifice from freshman Ericka Nesbitt moved her to second. She raced around the bases and scored on freshman Stephanie Jones' double to center field to tie the game at one all.
CU took the lead with a run in the second inning. Freshman Kerstine Womack reached on a fielder's choice and moved to second on Forgacs' single up the middle. Nesbitt followed with a single to short right to allow Womack to score just ahead of the tag at home with the second run of the game for the Camels.
Coastal threatened to tie the game up in the third inning. Sarah Maples reached on an infield single to third and moved to second as the ball was thrown away. Kiana Quolas then singled to short with two outs to put runners on the corners. Pierre ripped a ball that was ticketed for right field if not for the diving stop from sophomore Shaela Churchill at second. Churchill recovered quickly and threw on to first to end the Coastal inning.
The Chants did tie the game up with a run in the top of the fourth inning. Chelsea Pineda was hit by a pitch to start the inning. Courtney Howell was inserted to run for Pineda and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and then third on a steal. Howell came in to score on Sara Rasley's sacrifice fly.
Coastal wrestled the lead back with a run in the top of the fifth inning. Maples and Kory Hayden both singled to start the inning. A sacrifice bunt moved each runner up a base. Pierre was intentionally walked to load the bases with one out. After a strikeout, Beth Kassuhn hit a ball to deep in the hole at short and was ruled to have beaten the Nesbitt throw at first to allow Maples to score the go-ahead run from third.
The Camels took the lead back in the bottom of the frame. Nesbitt started the inning with a bunt single. Jones followed with a single of her own. Sophomore Raven Lee then laid down a bunt to move each runner up a base. Lee also reached on the ball as a play was unsuccessfully tried at third to get out the lead runner. With the bases now loaded senior Taylor McGee was able to draw a walk to drive in a run and tie the game at three all. Fellow senior Christina Melton was inserted to pinch hit and was hit by a pitch to drive in Jones with the go-ahead tally.
The Camels added a big and necessary insurance run in the sixth inning. Womack started the frame with a single. After a foul out for the first out, Nesbitt laid down a sacrifice bunt to move Womack to second base. Jones proved to be the nemesis again and laced a single to left to score Womack with the team's fifth run of the game and give the Camels a 5-3 advantage heading to the seventh inning.
The Coastal seventh proved interesting as the Chants crept a run closer plus has the tying run in scoring position with only one-out. Quolas started the trouble with a lead-off walk. Nicole Saggiomo was then inserted to run for Quolas and moved to second on a wild pitch. Saggiomo scampered home with the Coastal run on Pierre's single to left. Arnn was then inserted. A sacrifice bunt moved pinch runner Jazmin Daigle to second before Arnn recorded strikeouts of Kasshun and Rasley to end the game.
Next, Campbell heads off to Lynchburg, Va. to take on Liberty on April 27 for a doubleheader starting at 4 p.m.

love the pub sign!ReplyDelete
Your place is wonderful -- and that is a lovely uke that you have on the wall!ReplyDelete
It's so lovely - happy weekendReplyDelete
It looks lovely :) xxxReplyDelete
you have very nice wooden floors!ReplyDelete
The diaper bin made me want to ask if have you decided whether you will be using disposable or cloth diapers?
I am a huge advocate for cloth diapers as they are so much more environmental, economical, safer (no nasty chemicals like in disposable diapers), AND because they are so much cuter than disposable diapers :)
(also they can be a great DIY project!)
What a beautifully decorated flat. So much personality but looks so light and open, lovely!ReplyDelete
East Dulwich is a pretty nice area. When our daughter was born we "squeezed" on a one bedroom flat and no garden near where you live now, we had to be very organised (not true it was chaos most of the time).ReplyDelete
Your home is full of pretty treasures, my eyes wonder happily from one thing to another!
la classe!!! :-)
Lovely apartment!ReplyDelete
shhh my darling stationery
Love the new flat and East Dulwich is very nice too. Like the nappy bin. I'm pregnant too and was thinking of using an old bread bin but then thought they usually have tiny holes in where some wayward smell could escape from so something like you've got is a good idea. Anything but the horrible plastic ones anyway!ReplyDelete
Your place looks so homey and cute. We just moved in into East Dulwich as well. Thanks for reminding me about it. I'm glad we started looking over here and I love the place we found. We were at the Saturday market last weekend when I saw Nao's FB post of you in front of the cafe and your cute car last weekend. Maybe we could meet for tea sometime soon :)ReplyDelete
You new flat is lovely and very homely. How nice it is that you get sunshine streaming onto your bed.ReplyDelete
Looks so lovely and I LOVE the fox cushion!ReplyDelete
The flat already looks like it is your home - love it!ReplyDelete
