"Mash Off" is the sixth episode of the third season of the American musical television series Glee, and the fiftieth overall. The episode was written by Michael Hitchcock and directed by Eric Stoltz, and originally aired on Fox in the United States on November 15, 2011. Special guest star Idina Menzel is featured as rival glee club director Shelby Corcoran, and she and Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) hold a mash-up competition between the Troubletones and the New Directions. Santana (Naya Rivera) mercilessly taunts rival glee club member Finn (Cory Monteith), who ultimately responds by publicly accusing her of cowardice in her relationship with Brittany, thereby revealing to their fellow students that she is a lesbian. Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) starts a propaganda campaign against Burt Hummel (Mike O'Malley), her chief rival in the special election for congress.
Principal photography for "Mash Off" occurred in October 2011. The episode features four mash-ups, including the show's 300th musical number, Adele's "Someone Like You" and "Rumour Has It", which sold 160,000 copies in its first week and debuted at number eleven on the Billboard Hot 100. All songs from the episode were released as singles available for digital download.
"Mash Off" was met with a mostly positive reception from critics, and its musical performances and cover versions were also well received by reviewers. Upon its initial airing, this episode was viewed by 7.08 million American viewers and earned a 3.0/8 Nielsen rating/share in the 18–49 demographic. The total viewership was up from the previous episode, "The First Time".
Puck (Mark Salling) fantasizes about his substitute teacher, Shelby Corcoran (Idina Menzel), whom he recently kissed and has since fallen in love with. He sings "Hot for Teacher" by Van Halen, with Mike (Harry Shum, Jr.), Blaine (Darren Criss) and Finn (Cory Monteith). Puck tries to convince Shelby, who adopted the child he fathered with Quinn (Dianna Agron), to start a relationship with him, but she rejects the idea. Quinn still wants to get Beth, her birth daughter, back from Shelby, and tries to join Shelby's glee club, the Troubletones, to get closer to Shelby. After Puck tells Shelby of Quinn's true intentions, Shelby informs Quinn that she does not want her in Beth's life.
Will (Matthew Morrison) and Shelby agree to hold a mash-up competition between the New Directions and the Troubletones. Santana (Naya Rivera) takes the rivalry very seriously, and taunts and derides her former New Directions teammates—particularly Finn. He challenges Santana and the other Troubletones to a game of dodgeball. Finn and Santana are the last two people standing, until Santana whips a ball at Finn's face, and wins the game. Despite having won, Santana violently targets Rory (Damian McGinty), and makes his nose bleed.
Cheerleading coach Sue (Jane Lynch) starts a campaign against Burt Hummel (Mike O'Malley), her main rival in the election for congress. When Burt's son Kurt (Chris Colfer) accuses her of lying, Sue defends her tactics, and tells Kurt that his own campaign for senior class president is boring and lacks edge. When the presidential candidates make their assembly speeches, Kurt pledges to ban dodgeball, a sport he says is too often used to bully. Rachel (Lea Michele) withdraws her candidacy and urges everyone to vote for Kurt. Rachel later confesses to Kurt that she quit so that he could have something important to put on his college application, and because she missed being his friend. The two make up, and go to work on Kurt's campaign.
Mercedes (Amber Riley) is elected president of the Troubletones, and tells Santana that she should play fair against New Directions from now on. Santana makes a rare apology to Finn in the school hallway, but her so-called apology consists of a series of insults. As she walks away, Finn retaliates by telling her to come out of the closet, and calls her a coward for constantly tearing others down while not accepting herself and her relationship with Brittany. A couple of days later, Santana is told by Sue and Burt that the niece of one of their opponents in the election overheard the conversation between her and Finn, and said opponent is about to release an attack ad that criticizes Sue for choosing a lesbian as head cheerleader. Santana runs out of the office in tears, saying that her parents do not yet know she is gay. The episode concludes with the Troubletones' mash-up of Adele songs. The moment the performance ends, Santana jumps down from the stage, blames Finn for outing her to the world and slaps him in the face.
"Mash Off" was written by Michael Hitchcock and directed by Eric Stoltz.[1] Principal photography for the episode commenced on October 6, 2011, while the fifth episode, "The First Time" was still shooting;[2] It was initially filmed in parallel with that episode, which continued through October 14, 2011,[3] and also with the seventh episode, which began filming on October 13, 2011.[4] This episode marked the 300th musical number Glee has filmed, which was a mash-up of two Adele songs: "Rumour Has It" and "Someone Like You", with lead vocals by Amber Riley and Naya Rivera. The performance was filmed with great fanfare "in front of an audience of press and crew members" on October 26, 2011, and included a press briefing afterward. Riley revealed during the briefing that she suggested the idea that she perform Adele to co-creators Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy after finding out that Adele was hoping Riley would sing her music on the show: "Someone actually e-mailed me a video of Adele saying that she wanted me to sing her song, so I e-mailed it to Brad and Ryan."[5]
The episode was to contain a flashback to a sixteen-year-old Sue, played by Colby Minifie, singing the title song of the musical Oklahoma! in a scene that would have explained Sue's antipathy to music in the schools. Series co-creator Ian Brennan said "we wanted to show that Sue at one point had Broadway dreams", and Lynch reveals, "Will tells Sue, 'Poor little Susie Sylvester was told she wasn't good, and now she's got to punish the world.' Like a lot of angry people out there, Sue's a wannabe."[6] However, the scene was not broadcast because it was, according to Murphy, "too long for the episode"; he also stated that the footage, with the title "How Sue Sylvester Became a Bitch", would be released in the future, "either as a DVD extra or online".[7]
Three other mash-ups beyond the Adele one are performed in the episode: a Hall & Oates mash-up of "I Can't Go for That" and "You Make My Dreams" performed by New Directions, a mash-up of Lady Gaga's "You and I" and Eddie Rabbitt and Crystal Gayle's "You and I", performed by Morrison and Menzel, and one of Pat Benatar's "Hit Me with Your Best Shot" and Blondie's "One Way or Another", performed by competing glee clubs New Directions and the Troubletones. Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher", performed by Mark Salling, is also included.[8] Recurring guest stars appearing in the episode include teacher Shelby Corcoran (Menzel), Kurt's father and new congressional candidate Burt Hummel (O'Malley), Principal Figgins (Iqbal Theba), football coach Shannon Beiste (Dot-Marie Jones), cheerleader Becky Jackson (Lauren Potter), rival glee club member Sugar Motta (Vanessa Lengies), and exchange student Rory Flanagan (McGinty).[5][9]
"Mash Off" was first broadcast on November 15, 2011 in the United States on Fox. It received a 3.0/8 Nielsen rating/share in the 18–49 demographic, and attracted 7.08 million American viewers during its initial airing, which tied with "Pot o' Gold" for the lowest rating of the third season.[10] While the show's viewership was up slightly from the 6.91 million viewers for the previous episode, "The First Time", which was broadcast on November 8, 2011, the rating in the 18–49 demographic decreased slightly from the 3.1/8 rating/share received by that episode.[11]
Viewership was also up slightly in Australia, but decreased in Canada and hit a season low in the United Kingdom, where "Mash Off" was watched on Sky1 by 900,000 viewers, down over 7% compared to "The First Time" the previous week, when 973,000 viewers were watching.[12] In Australia, "Mash Off" was watched by 683,000 viewers, which made Glee the fourteenth most-watched program of the night for the second week in a row. The viewership was up slightly from the previous episode, which was seen by 660,000 viewers.[13] In Canada, viewership was down slightly and 1.64 million viewers watched the episode, which made it the eighteenth most-viewed show of the week, down three slots but only 20,000 viewers from the 1.66 million viewers who watched "The First Time" the week before.[14]
Critical response[edit]
Television critics were more favorable than not in their response to "Mash Off". Erica Futterman of Rolling Stone felt that the series returned to form in the episode, and commented: "We've said it before and we'll say it again: we like our Glee with just enough ridiculousness, and this week had it."[15] Entertainment Weekly journalist Abby West noted that she loved the fact that it "was a bullying episode that snuck up on us".[16] Raymund Flandez of The Wall Street Journal opined that "Mash Off" was one of the best installments of Glee, and cited the episode's storylines as highlights: "The mash-up episodes every season can be hit or miss, but this year was perfected to the nth degree."[17] Amy Reiter of the Los Angeles Times wrote that there was plenty of "airy fun to be found" in "Mash Off", but added that "underneath all the silly fake mustaches and snappy quotes about root-beer fountains and robot teachers beat a very dark baboon heart. In the end, that murky, telltale undercurrent burst to the fore, like a ... slap in the face, leaving us gasping and a little confused."[18] Houston Chronicle's Bobby Hankinson stated that it was "surprisingly good", and that "Mash Off" was a "solid hour of television that was bursting with fantastic musical numbers and some really gratifying narrative developments".[19] Michael Slezak of TV Line said that the episode contributed to a revitalization of the quality of the show's third season.[20]
Catriona Wightman of Digital Spy wrote, "This was a confusing episode of Glee. For a while, it seemed pretty unremarkable—a standard installment, meandering along enjoyably enough. But then, in the last few minutes, it suddenly got really rather dark indeed. I'm intrigued about what happens next."[21] The A.V. Club's Todd VanDerWerff gave "Mash Off" a "C" grade, and felt that the episode did not reach its full potential. He wrote, "The gut-punch moment is sufficiently gut-punchy, and we'll get to that in a bit. But everything building up to it is so messy that the solidly dramatic moment almost made me angry. There's something about this show that leads to messy tonal mash-ups. But where the show's musical mash-ups are usually pretty harmonious, the tonal shifts can often be brutally unsubtle."[22] James Poniewozik of Time felt that it was notably inferior to the previous episode, with many more "forgettable scenes and stories".[23]
The character development of Santana and her interactions with Finn were well received by critics. Poniewozik stated that Santana confronting her sexuality was one of the highlights of "Mash Off".[23] Wightman commented that despite Santana's callous personality, "watching her burst into tears and sob that she hasn't even told her parents about her sexuality yet [was] heartbreaking".[21] Robert Canning of IGN wrote, "The biggest development was the unexpected way Santana's sexuality became public. It was a nice way to end things, building tension towards hopefully more resonating episodes to come."[24] VanDerWerff said that "the last five minutes of this episode are phenomenal, one of those times that the show gets the mix of tones just right and something that's vaguely comedic gets more and more horrifying and dramatic, and then we plunge down the rabbit hole and everything goes nuts."[22] To Ryan Gajewski of Wetpaint, the scene that concluded "Mash Off" was a "fascinating twist, and one that makes it hard to choose sides". He added, "Santana has certainly been not-exactly-cuddly these past few weeks, but it's still clear that Finn totally crossed the line."[25]
Music and performances[edit]
The opening number for the episode, "Hot for Teacher", was commended by most critics. Futterman described it as a "high-energy performance with the right amount of absurdity".[15] Brett Berk of Vanity Fair gave the musical number a four out of five stars, and cited the choreography as the highlight of the performance.[26] West gave it a grade of "A–", and wrote, "This was such big fun and the backup guys ... really helped amp it up."[16] Slezak was less enthusiastic about the sequence. He was critical of Salling's vocals, and felt that a heavy metal song was not suited to his stylings; he ultimately gave it a "C+" grade.[20] He also criticized the choreography, and stated that he had to "downgrade a little for Blaine and Mike Chang's grotesque 'whoopsie, I'm hiding an erection!' dance move that will probably haunt me to my grave."[20]
Berk said that the mash-up of the two "You and I" songs "almost worked",[26] while Los Angeles Times writer L'Oreal Thompson praised the vocals of Menzel: "It's official. Shelby sings Gaga as good as, if not better than, Gaga sings Gaga."[27] Slezak awarded the performance a "B" grade, and opined: "I loved the audacity of mashing up Lady Gaga with an Eddie Rabbit–Crystal Gayle chestnut, and the results had the sheen of '70s a.m. radio fare. Shelby's voice was almost too crystal clear for the Gaga half of the composition."[20] Futterman said that Menzel "can kill a Gaga ballad", and while she "outshines" Morrison, he "complements her nicely".[15] West gave the mash-up a "B+", called it "really well-done" and said it was "elevated" by Menzel's voice.[16] MTV's Kevin P. Sullivan wanted Menzel to interpret more songs by Lady Gaga.[28] In contrast, Rae Votta of Billboard denounced the sequence, and called it "horrendous".[29]
West gave the mash-up of "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" / "One Way or Another" a "B" grade,[16] while Slezak gave the performance a "B+". Slezak wrote, "Santana's moments on lead were obviously stronger than Finn's Auto-Tuned into submission vocals, but that doesn't mean the number wasn't a hoot."[20] Futterman called it a "fierce match", and added the mash-up was well crafted.[15] Hankinson rated it the second best performance of the episode.[19] Brian Moyler of Gawker, who writes of his dislike of mash-ups, characterized it as "the only mash-up of the night that actually makes sense" but he called it an "awful aural clash" and "the second least dreadful".[30]
Moyler felt that the combination of "I Can't Go for That" and "You Make My Dreams" was "an abomination" and "New Directions at their worst". He summarized: "The outfits are hokey, the dance is silly, and the music has absolutely no emotion in it."[30] Slezak, however, issued the performance an "A–" grade, and wrote, "The Troubletones beat New Directions in this particular battle, but I loved the frothy, silly spirit of this number, with the guys dressed like Miami Vice extras, Puck and Blaine rocking Oatestaches, and Tina getting a little moment on lead vocals."[20] Votta characterized the performance as a "fun, retro number",[29] and Jen Chaney of The Washington Post was similarly pleased, and gave it a "B+".[31]
The episode's concluding musical number, "Rumour Has It" / "Someone Like You", was acclaimed as its main highlight. Raymund Flandez described Rivera's vocals as "electrifying" and "golden".[17] Futterman wrote that the performance was one of Glee's best sequences: "Mercedes and Santana nail their vocals and the song combines great tracks from one of the year's biggest albums while capturing both the sass and sadness of the Troubletones at this particular moment."[15] Votta called it the best performance since the cast's rendition of "Don't Stop Believin'" in the season one finale, "Journey to Regionals", and stated, "Naya Rivera's powerful vocals and the strong arrangement still packs the emotional punch Glee was targeting."[29] Chaney awarded the sequence a "A+" grade: "Given the emotional stakes raised by Santana's outing, which happened in the scene right before this performance, and the fact that it marked the series's 300th musical performance, this marriage" of the two Adele songs, "Rumour Has It" and "Someone Like You", was "all the more powerful".[31] Moyler asserted that the number was "perfection" and said, "This is why I watch Glee. It is just brilliant from Mercedes first belting to the snaps on the beat to the choreography with the girls walking in a circle and making little whispers to Santana bringing tears to my eyes singing 'Someone Like You' as if it was the last song she'll ever sing in her damn life."[30] Cinema Blend's Melissa Duko stated that the show "hit it out of the park" and added that it was her favorite performance of the season.[32] Slezak gave the number an "A+" and wrote, "Nobody can completely match Adele doing Adele, and yet Naya Rivera and Amber Riley somehow made the sum of this mashup a worthy equal to Adele's glorious original parts."[20] In December 2012, TV Guide named the mash-up one of Glee's best performances.[33]
Chart history[edit]
While five singles were released from the episode, it was the four mash-ups that debuted on the Billboard Hot 100. "Rumour Has It" / "Someone Like You" debuted at number eleven in the issue dated November 23, 2011. It sold 160,000 digital downloads in its first week, the fifth-highest first week digital sales for the series.[34] The mash-up sparked a revival in sales for "Rumour Has It", which achieved a new peak at number sixty that same week, during which it sold 42,000 digital copies.[34] In Canada, the mash-up entered on the Canadian Hot 100 at number twelve on the strength of sales of 14,000 downloads.[35]

Rich Gannon understands being a mobile quarterback who needs to adjust after ACL reconstructive surgery. The CBS analyst and ex-Redskin went through the same thing in the early in his NFL career. So he understands what Robert Griffin III faces in his recovery from knee surgery — ACL reconstruction; LCL and medial meniscus repair.
And one thing Gannon says echoes what others have said: Griffin doesn't need to change his game much upon his return.
"He's smart enough to know that the speed of the game is different," Gannon said for my email report. "The type of athlete you're playing against – ends and linebackers can really run and bring you down in awkward body positions. He has to protect himself outside the pocket and in the boundary and in the red zone and trying to dive for a touchdown or first down. You learn that there are things you can do differently. That's something, yeah, he'll have to change but at the same time they don't have to scrap the offense. They can do a lot of the same things they did. He can still be an explosive player."
Gannon said Griffin should not stop running. But if he had to? He'd be OK.
"He's the type of quarterback that if they said we're done with him running – and that shouldn't happen – we'll go back to do what we did with Elway and other quarterbacks and do the stretch and boots, but we'll can this option," Gannon said. "I think he'd be awesome. If they said we'll put in a system with three, five, seven step drops he'd be fine because he's that good a passer. He's shown he can make all the throws."
By the way, Gannon said Griffin's injury hurt his passing mechanics.
"What I noticed from him a little bit is that he's so talented and so strong with his arm at times he's gotten sloppy with his footwork," he said. "When he hurt his knee I saw a guy whose balance was off. You look at that game against Seattle last week where he was missing throws short and high. His footwork was compromised. His ability to shift the weight and drive off with his right leg, you could tell that was a problem."
Also in the email report this week: Terry Shea recalls Griffin's competitiveness in training.

The first Policy Committee meeting chaired by Brian Schottlaender was held on Nov. 13-14, 1997, at the Library of Congress. Schottlaender presented an overview of the consolidated organizational structure that includes a five-member Steering Committee and a nineteen-member Policy Committee (PoCo). Included among the nineteen are the five members of the Steering Committee, three standing committee chairs, BIBCO and CONSER Coordinators, the chair-elect (Sally Sinn), and the Secretariat representative from the Library of Congress.
The Policy Committee members developed the strategic plan that charts the program's course from 1998 to 2002. The plan has five goals, covering bibliographic and authority records, standards, leadership, membership, and governance and operations.
In order to meet the strategic plan's goals, a tactical plan organized by goal, date, and assignment was developed. A document outlining the allocation and expenditure of funds was distributed to the Steering Committee and PoCo members. A summary version of this first PCC funding document was posted to the PCC home page so that the financial responsibilities of participating member institutions and a description of the costs covered by the PCC would be available to all.
Schottlaender petitioned the ALCTS Cataloging and Classification Section for formal representation for the PCC on the Committee on Cataloging: Description and Access (CC:DA). The petition was accepted and the PCC joined other library organizations in the United States in becoming a non-voting member of the CC:DA. Joan Schuitema, chair of the PCC's Standing Committee on Standards, is serving as PCC representative to CC:DA through 1999.
In the interest of protecting the PCC name and its use by other organizations and businesses, a policy document was written governing the use of the PCC name in sponsorship and advertising, based on several models of private and public institutions.
As of Oct. 1, 1998, there were 339 libraries participating in the NACO Program, including those in thirteen funnel projects. There were thirty BIBCO libraries with three more scheduled to join by the end of calendar year 1998. There were eighty-nine libraries participating in the SACO Program, eighteen of which are SACO only while the others also participate in either CONSER, NACO, and/or BIBCO. There were thirty-three CONSER participants.
Fiscal year 1998 saw an increase in contributions of new records of name, series, and subject authorities. NACO participants contributed 161,446 new name authority records (NARs) to the national authority file and 9,233 series authority records (SARs), in addition to changing 39,212 existing NARs and SARs. SACO enriched Library of Congress Subject Headings with 2,159 new headings and Library of Congress Classification with 883 new classification numbers. In support of these SACO contributions, the Cooperative Cataloging Team initiated 6,495 changes to bibliographic records in the LC database. The BIBCO libraries contributed 37,559 bibliographic records, an increase of twenty-six percent over fiscal year 1997.
The CONSER database of serial records totaled 856,681 in fiscal year 1998. The rate of growth in maintenance transactions continued to be strong. It was partially supported by new CONSER enhance members. The decline in the rate of growth of new records continued. New record authentications now represent forty-one percent of the total transactions on the CONSER database.
"Cataloging Now!" institutes were held July 10, 1998, in Anaheim, Calif., Sept. 18, 1998, in Worcester, Mass., and Oct. 22, 1998, in Dallas, Tex. The objective of the workshops is to bring together cataloging librarians, catalog department and technical services administrators, as well as public service librarians in a facilitated discussion of the need for streamlining cataloging processes and how the core record can be employed as an option. ALCTS and the PCC are co-sponsoring these institutes.
Training initiatives
The Asian Materials Cataloging Seminar held Mar. 30-31, 1998, at the Library of Congress was attended by 135 technical services librarians from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Taiwan.
The first law NACO training course was presented by the Cooperative Cataloging Team at LC, July 15-18, 1998.
Two new NACO funnel projects were added: Arabic Funnel Project and the On-Line Audiovisual Catalogers (OLAC) Funnel Project.
Series institutes were held on Apr. 29-May 1, 1998, and Sept. 23-25, 1998, at the Library of Congress. Additional series training was held in Chicago for the University of Chicago and Cooperative Computer Services targeting regional PCC participants.
Three workshops in support of SACO, the Subject Authority Cooperative Program component of the PCC, were held on June 25, 1998. Two of the workshops focused on specialized areas in formulating new headings: geographic names and historic events and names of languages and related literature headings.
Also in conjunction with the ALA Annual Conference, there was a one-day workshop designed to develop facilitation skills for PCC NACO/BIBCO trainers.
Standing and Operations Committees
The Standing Committee on Standards, chaired by Joan Schuitema, issued a standards document on the use of classification numbers in BIBCO full and core-level records. Audiovisual materials, computer files, moving image materials, and graphic materials core-level record standards were presented, approved, and posted on the PCC home page, alongside the core record standards for other formats.
In the area of automation, problems related to the loading of machine-generated preliminary records were investigated. Under the leadership of Michael Kaplan, chair of the Standing Committee on Automation, a special task group was established to investigate and test batch-loading issues involved in real-time copy/paste from local systems to the utilities.
The Standing Committee on Training, chaired by Joan Swanekamp, devoted much of its time during the year to writing and reviewing the script for the Cataloging Now! institutes, designed to promote the values of the PCC and the use of the core-level record cataloging standard.
The first BIBCO Operations Committee was formed, leading to the inaugural joint BIBCO and CONSER Operations Committees meeting at the Library of Congress, May 7-8. Joint sessions were held at the opening and concluding meetings, which provided the opportunity for the PCC Operations Committees to coordinate their efforts. During the joint closing session, members of both committees reviewed ways of accomplishing some of the tasks included in the PCC Tactical Plan and began crafting a PCC values statement for incorporation into the PCC Strategic Plan. Subsequently, the PCC Values Statement was completed and approved.
In preparation for the restructuring of the Library of Congress Control Number to accommodate the century change, the Library of Congress will discontinue use of the LCCN Suffix/Alphabetic Identifier and Revision Date as of Jan. 1, 1999. (These data occur at the end of the 001 and 010 fields in records issued by the Library). No new cataloging records created after Jan. 1, 1999, will contain suffix or revision date in 001 or 010 fields. Updates to previously existing records may continue to contain suffix and/or revision date. No concerted effort to remove these data from updates will occur until the Library of Congress moves to its new integrated library system during 1999.
The LCCN Suffix/Alphabetic Identifier was originally designed to provide information related to the distribution of card copy by LC. A complete list of the Suffix/Alphabetic Identifiers can be found in the field 010 description in USMARC Format for Bibliographic Data.
Records that are candidates for the "Annotated Card" or juvenile works program will no longer contain the 'AC' LCCN suffix, but will instead contain the code, 'lcac', in field 042.
The LCCN Revision Date was used to specify the latest date and number of times a cataloging record underwent a significant change. It was used, among other things, to distinguish one version of a card from another. In LC cataloging records, field 005 contains the date and time of the latest version of the record. Currently all updates to LC records are redistributed through the MARC distribution services.
Questions or comments on the above may be sent to the Cataloging Policy and Support Office, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 20540-4305; email: [email protected]
The Serials Cataloging Cooperative Training Program (SCCTP) is a cooperative endeavor to provide standardized training materials and train experienced serials catalogers to serve as workshop leaders. Plans for the SCCTP are developing on several fronts. LC's Cataloging Distribution Service has agreed to make available for purchase course materials that are based on CONSER documentation. Train-the-trainer sessions are being developed and sponsors for the training workshops are volunteering to support the training effort.
The first course will focus on the basics of serials cataloging for publications in print and electronic formats. Cameron Campbell, University of Chicago, is using the CONSER core record as the basis for developing the course. It is a two-day course, but materials will indicate what can be omitted or expanded for longer or shorter sessions. Course materials will be available in June.
In seeking experienced serials catalogers to serve as trainers, CONSER issued a call for trainers on library discussion lists in mid-November requesting volunteers with experience in serials cataloging and training. The deadline for applications is Feb. 15. Two train-the-trainer sessions will be held in June 1999, one in conjunction with NASIG in Pittsburgh, the other in conjunction with ALA in New Orleans. There will be a maximum of twenty-five trainees at each session. The course will be a two-day course. To volunteer, contact Jean Hirons ([email protected]).
During the ALA Midwinter Meeting on Friday, Jan. 29, 7:00-9:00 pm, Sally Sinn, chair of the PCC, and Jean Hirons, CONSER coordinator, will lead a session to provide information about current developments of the program. The program and its goals will be discussed and ideas will be solicited from the participants. The session is aimed at all potential stakeholders library administrators, catalogers, trainers, potential training providers, etc. For more information, contact Jean Hirons by email ([email protected]).
After nine years of development, ISO 639-2: Codes for the Representation of Names of Languages: Alpha-3 Codes, developed by the TC37/SC2-TC46/SC4 Joint Working Group (JWG) of the International Organisation for Standardisation has been approved. Work on the standard, a list of three-character language codes, was initiated in 1989 because of the inadequacy of the ISO two-character code list (Codes for the Representation of Names of Languages Alpha-2 Code) to represent a sufficient number of languages for bibliographic and terminology needs. The newly approved list is based on the USMARC Code List for Languages and attempts to resolve differences between bibliographic users and users interested in terminology applications. Over the years several committee drafts and draft international standards were submitted and balloted. The U.S. provided the convener of the ISO JWG, John Byrum, chief of the Regional and Cooperative Cataloging Division, with technical assistance from Rebecca Guenther, Network Development and MARC Standards Office, and Milicent Wewerka, Cataloging Policy and Support Office.
Early in the effort the developers agreed to attempt to make the codes in ISO 639-2 consistent with those in ISO 639-1, a 2-character code list used for terminological purposes. However, in the development of the standard there was considerable difficulty over the choice of codes, since the bibliographic community had a well-established list (based on the MARC 21 language code list) that was not always compatible with ISO 639-1. As a necessary compromise between the terminology community and the bibliographic community, the joint working group agreed to standardize two sets of codes, one for bibliographic applications (ISO 639-2/B) and one for terminological applications (ISO 639-2/T). The two sets are different only in twenty-three of the 464 codes.
With the final publication of ISO 639-2, both the U.S. national standard Z39.52 (Codes for the Representation of Languages for Information Interchange) and the USMARC Code List for Languages will now be revised for consistency with the international standard. Twenty-five MARC 21 language codes for infrequently used languages will be changed, thirty-three new language codes will be added, and one will be made obsolete. These changes will be introduced gradually beginning next summer. In the future, it is expected that the three standards will remain compatible. The Library of Congress has been designated the registration authority for ISO 639-2; after initial publication of the ISO list, future development of the list will be processed and reviewed by LC with guidance from the ISO Joint Advisory Committee (ISO 639/RA-JAC).

Rhytidectomy (face lift) (June 2011) After 3 corrective procedures (Sept. 2011, January 2012, April 2012) my face looks awful. My neck sags on the left side, very uneven irregularities under my chin. The skin on my lower face is pulled tight so my mouth looks some what distorted. I also now have "PIXIE EARS" The scars behind my left ear are thick and very conspicuos. Also, large lump on left cheek. Surgeon had done lipo on cheek..it did nothing to improve the lump.
Can I Be Helped with Revision Surgery or Some Other Procedure? (photo)

Facelift Complications
Having three surgeries in a one year period reeks of despiration by the operating surgeon. Some of the small things like your "pixie" ears are easy to address and could have been repaired while putting off the bigger problems which uniformly take time to resolve. A world famous Plastic Surgeon in Great Britain once said "never do today what can honorably be put off until tomorrow". I think Sir Harold Gillies was talking about patients and problems just like yours. You should do several things; get a second opinion from an experienced Plastic Surgeon and expect that you will be given psychological support with a realistic time frame for recovery.
Problems after 4 Facelift Procedures
I'm sorry that you've had these problems after your facelift and several revisions. Ultimately you can improve your results but you must be patient and allow healing to progress so the face does relax before attempting another revision. If the same surgeon has done all the work, I suggest you get a second opinion.
Can I Be Helped with Revision Surgery or Some Other Procedure
You might also like...
Revision surgery sometimes necessary after a facelift
Revision surgery after a facelift is common, but 4 surgeries in one year is too much. You need to wait at least 6 months for the tissue to settle before considering any other surgery. I would also get a second and even a third opinion!
Allow for complete healing before another revision
At this point I would wait at least 6 if not 12 months. Let everything settle to its permanent condition before going back to try to revise things. Inflammation lasts a long time at the tissue level, and further manipulation of the tissues too soon can cause some unintended distortions. All of your issues can be addressed but make sure the tissue is stable before having further surgery.
4 Facelift Procedures in Less than a Year
I would definitely recommend waiting a full year before contemplating anything else. The pixie ears can be improved. The other things need to be examined in one year to determine what will be needed for improvement or if improvement is likely after undergoing another procedure.
Face lift revision
Thank you for your question and for the photos. I am sorry to hear about the difficulties that you have had following your face lift. While not everyone heals perfectly, there arre usually things that can be done to improve the issues that are bothering you. Being that you have had 3 attempts to correct this, I would suggest a different approach. I think that getting a few second opinions from board certified plastic surgeons in your area that have extensive experience with face lifts may be helpful. While not everything can be completely corrected, the areas that bother you can certainly be improved.
I do suggest waiting as long as possible. Your face has now been operated on 4 times in the last 11 months, which can create a significant amount of scar tissue. Waiting for this to soften will allow for more improvement in the future.
Best of luck with your face and hang in there.
Jeff Rockmore
You will have to determine what issues are most important
Thank you for the question and photos. I believe one of the more important things that you will have to do is decide for yourself which of the issues that need correction are most important. Once you do so I would advise you to seek several consultations preferably with board certified plastic surgeons that have experience in face lift revision surgery.
All the best,
Dr Remus Repta
Revision facelift surgery
Dear GayleTroyer,
- I think it is time for you to get a second opinion because it sounds like your limit has been reached
- Thankfully, you still have healing to go with room for improvement
- Seek out a few experience surgeons and pick one that you get along with and whose results you like
Best regards,
Nima Shemirani
Face Lift Revision Surgery
I am sorry you have had this experience. Most of the issues that you mention can be addressed, but it will be important to allow for significant time to pass in order to allow for relaxation of the tissues. Consult with a highly experienced board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to get a fresh view on the subject. The one area that might be addressed in the nearer term is the area of fullness in the left cheek. An exam by a highly experienced plastic surgeon will help determine its nature.

Just one event removed from the middleweight title fight between Chris Weidman and Lyoto Machida at UFC 175, the UFC might be lining up who will fight for the title next when 'Jacare' Souza faces Gegard Mousasi in what could be a middleweight title elimination bout. Recently announced for UFC 176, Jacare and Mousasi will serve as the co-main event at the Staples Center. The main event will feature another popular Brazilian fighter when Jose Aldo attempts to defend his championship against Chad Mendes.
Interestingly, both the main event and co main event are rematches. Chad Mendes fell short on his first attempt at winning the championship when a crushing knee from Aldo ended his night in the first round. As for the co main event between Jacare and Mousasi, the story is a little less cut and dry.
The two promising middleweights first met in 2008 at Dream 6 in Japan. The Dream 6 event was a tournament that was to determine the first Dream middleweight champion. Both Jacare and Mousasi had dispatched their previous opponents in the first round and found themselves in a fight for the championship. Jacare looked for the takedown early in their first match and, after planting Mousasi on the mat, looked to pass the guard of the long and lanky middleweight. Just as Jacare looked to dive on Mousasi with a punch, Mousasi planted a hard upkick on the chin of an oncoming Jacare, knocking him out cold.
Since their fight 6 years ago, Mousasi has won 9 of his past 12 fights and Jacare has been victorious in 10 of his last 12. Mousasi sits at 2-1 in the UFC, only losing to #1 middleweight contender and former light heavyweight champion, Lyoto Machida, by decision, and Jacare is undefeated at 3-0. Mousasi captured the Strikeforce light heavyweight title while Jacare did the very same at middleweight. Needless to say, 6 years is a long time in the career of a fighter and both men have changed for the better.
Now, sitting at 3-0 in the UFC, Jacare is poised to be the next big challenge for the title, and by defeating Mousasi, he can jump in front of the pack and stake his claim as #1 contender. It certainly doesn't hurt that he'll be able to attempt to avenge a knockout loss in the process. Mousasi has been fed a murderers row of opponents since entering the UFC and, even if he loses to Jacare, he will most likely be able to enjoy a slight step down in competition. But a win for Mousasi will shake up the division quite a bit and he too will hop over many fighters to be on the fast track to a title shot.

'Saucy' Mystery Stumps Library
The staff at a library in Ohio are baffled by a bizarre mystery surrounding a bevy of empty steak sauce bottles that have been found hidden throughout the building.
Since the first one was discovered in early January, an astounding 27 more bottles have been found behind books and among magazines at the Avon Lake Public Library.
As the curious pieces have accumulated over the last few weeks, employees have even begun competing to see who can find the next one.
Meanwhile, they're also trying to get to the bottom of the bottle mystery, as they have no idea who is leaving them at the library nor why.

BALI UPDATE #451 - 02 May 2005
Crackdown on Villa Builders Continues
Local Press Reports Several Villa Projects Halted by Sub-District and Regency Officials.
The crackdown on villas that violate local zoning codes continues in Bali with the Indonesian-language
reporting that South Kuta authorities have halted construction of the 12-unit
Halcyon Villa
complex on Jalan Wanagiri in Jimbaran.
According to the
article, the project, listed as "Hollycon Villa" (sic) in the
report, was subsequently confirmed to be
Halycon Villas
following a call to the Contractor listed on the
Halycon Web Site
. The individual answering the telephone at the Construction company confirmed both the correct spelling of the villa project and that they had recently been cited by local sub-district officials for building while permits were still under process.
According to the
report, the project, which is already in an advanced stage of construction, lacks a number of required official permits that must be in hand before commencing construction. The article also quoted the Head of the South Kuta Sub-District Chief, Drs. I Putu Eka Merthawan, as saying that the project located on the road leading to the
Ritz Carlton Bali Resort
is located in a "Class I" Conservancy Area in which development is restricted.
According to the
story, local officials claim developers have repeatedly failed to heed warnings to halt the project until the required permits are in hand with Sub-District officers now threatening to seize construction equipment if the latest warning continues to be ignored.
A spokesperson for
Halcyon Villas
told balidiscovery.com on Monday, May 2, 2005, that they had just spoken to the Contractor for the project who had assured them that all permits were in an 'advanced stage' and "would be in hand in the coming days."
Continuing Crackdown Across the Island
As reported previously on
in [
Crackdown on Bali's Beach Builders
], Sub-District officials in several parts of the island are increasing their scrutiny of villa owners who construct projects without the required permits or in violation of local zoning rules, such as the 100-meter
no-build zone
from the high water mark.
The Indonesian-language
Bali Post
in its April 30, 2005 edition reported that the builders of the
Villa Kalinka
and the nearby
Villa Boeddha

Trafficking in Confusion
Major Changes Introduced to Kuta's Traffic Grid.
Starting from Sunday, May 1, 2005, a number of major changes in traffic flows and one-way streets will be introduced on a trial basis in Seminyak, Kuta and Legian areas in an effort by Bali authorities to alleviate vehicular congestion in those areas.
An area of Bali whose existing maze of one way streets and cul-de-sacs can leave people confused even at the best of times, the many changes just introduced are likely to create added confusion during their implementation phase.
In an effort to help people plot their journeys, here's a brief summary of some of the changes you're likely to encounter on your next visit to Seminyak, Kuta and Legian:
Jalan Arjuna to operate as a one-way street exiting on Jalan Werkudara, also a one-way street, exiting onto Jalan Legian.
Jalan Legian between Bemo Corner and the Jalan Melasti/Jalan Sriwijaya intersection is still a one-way street BUT now running in the opposite direction, from south to north.
Jalan Patih Jelantik connecting Jalan Legian to Lapangan Tri Sakti remains a one-way street BUT now running in the opposite direction, running from west to east.
Jalan Pantai Kuta connecting Bemo Corner to the
Hard Rock Hotel
is partially a one-way street going in the opposite direction of west to east starting from Jalan Dewi Sartika and exiting at Bemo Corner.
Jalan Pantai Kuta lremains a one-way street following the beach starting from its new feeder street, Jalan Dewi Sartika, which now becomes a one-way street running south to north, past the front of Matahari Department store.
Jalan Dewi Sartika in front of Kuta Square is now a one way street running south to north (motorcyles excepted).
Jalan Raya Kuta connecting the Jalan Singosari and Jalan Raya Kuta intersections which was formerly one-way heading south to north is now open to two-way traffic.
Kuta area road-side shops are reported to be doing a brisk business in traffic maps and

Garuda Indonesia Sees Red in Q1 2005
National Airline's Losses Mount at US$14 Million for Q1 2005. Fuels Surcharges Planned on Australian and Middle-Eastern Services.
Garuda Indonesia
- the national flag carrier of Indonesia, reported losses during the first 3 months of 2005 totaling Rp. 139 billion (approximately US$14.5 million). On a daily basis, that's equal to a loss of Rp. 1.54 billion (approximately US$157,500) each and every operational day - a total slightly better than the estimated Rp. 1.6 billion lost during every day of operation by
in 2004. On a quarter to quarter comparison basis, however,
first quarter losses are 89% larger than the same period a year before fueling concern that the final numbers for 2005 may exceed the Rp. 618 billion operating loss (approximately US$63 million) posted in 2004.
Speaking to the Indonesian-language daily
the Airline's newly-appointed President Director, Emirsyah Satar, said that the Airline lost money on 65% of its 33 international routes while suffering losses on 71% of its 27 domestic routes.
is burdened with debts of US$ 826 million requiring yearly repayments totaling US$110 million. With targeted
annual revenues for 2005 of only Rp. 10.6 trillion (approximately US$ 1.1 billion) there is genuine concern among
management funds in hand will be insufficient to meet the Company's debt service. As a result,
bosses will soon be meeting in coming days with the
European Credit Agency
- the creditor who holds the Airline's debt, to seek a further rescheduling of their current debt load.
Garuda operates a total of 57 aircraft, 26 of which are Boeing 747-400's. At the height of its corporate glory, the airline flew to both the U.S.A. and Europe and was the largest airline in the Southern hemisphere. In recent years, however,
has shrunk to become a shadow of its former self now serving destinations only within Austral-Asia and the Middle-East.
In a step to counteract the effect of rising fuel costs, the
Jakarta Post
reports that
plans to impose a US$25 surcharge on flights operating between Australia and Indoneisa and US$12 on flights between Indonesia and the Middle-East.
Giving Illegal Money Changers a Black Eye
Legian Villagers Beat an Illegal Money Changer Caught Cheating an Australian Tourist.
On Wednesday, April 27, 2005, an Australian tourists, identified in the press only as "Miss Merry," tried to change US$225 into Indonesian Rupiahs at
John's Shop
, located in the mid-Legian area. A short time later, Miss Merry ended up literally giving a black eye to one of Bali's numerous dishonest money-changer.
As reported in the Indonesian-language
Bali Post
, Miss Merry and a traveling companion were lured into
John's Shop
by a sign falsely proclaiming the location as an
authorized money changer.
Once inside, they exchanged their money only to discover at the end of the transaction that they had been short-changed by the unscrupulous owner of the shop, Nyoman Yasa, some Rp. 720,000 (approximately US$73.50) .
Distraught and upset at the shoddy treatment received from Nyoman Yasa, Merry left the art-shop-cum-moneychanger location and came to tears whilst standing in front of the shop.
Young men and women from the surrounding community, standing nearby and participating in a local religious ceremony, saw the very visibly upset Ms. Merry and enquired after her welfare. Once the crowd determined the root cause of Merry's distress, a frightened Nyoman Yasa quickly admitted his fraud causing the crowd to angrily set upon the young trickster.
A short time later, badly bruised and beaten, Nyoman Yasa was handed over to the Kuta police precinct who continue to investigate the case.

Bali's Soaring Unemployment Levels Cause Concern
Local Economist Sees 4.8% Unemployment Level at Near-Crisis Level.
Current statistics from the Department of Manpower estimate that Bali's unemployment level stands at 144,000 workers, approximately 4.8% of the island's entire population.
According to the Dean of the Faculty of Economics at Bali's Udayana University, Drs. Made Kembar Sri Budhi, an unemployment level approaching 5% in Bali should be viewed by all as very critical.
Quoted in the Indonesian-language
Bali Post,
Drs. Budhi sees the salvation of Bali's workers resting firmly with three sectors of the economy namely tourism, agriculture and small industry.
The Need to Support Tourism
Pointing out that Bali's tourism is slowly returning to life, the respected Economist said that no efforts should be spared in guaranteeing the safety of holidaymakers in Bali. In the same vein, he said the Government must be prepared and able to handle rumors surrounding outbreaks of contagious diseases that have the potential of frightening potential visitors away from the Island.
Agricultural and Handicraft Sectors
He also called on the Government to pay attention to Bali's farmers, ensuring that markets for produce offering fair rates of return are preserved and developed. Similarly, Drs. Budhi said credit facilities must be simplified for handicraft producers in order to stimulate job creation in that sector.

Balidisocvery.com Editorial on Bali Drug Cases Provokes Many Readers' Responses.
editorial [
Editorial: Bali is Not the Problem, Drugs Are
] was picked up and reprinted by a number of overseas publications, featured as a lead-in article on Australia's
E-Travel Blackboard
and re-broadcast by an Australian radio station. As you might expect, it also brought lots of letters, excerpts of which we share below.
Nick Lawson, a travel agent from Australia wrote:
". . . . These nay Sayers put a wet blanket on people's holiday plans but are not seeming to convince anyone to stay home. I bet if any of these knockers were handed a free ticket then they'd go in an instant.. . . It's a bumper year for Bali which makes me happy as to boycott only punishes the innocent Balinese and not the guilty drug dealers where ever and who ever they may be. Happy Travels."
R. Brampton wrote to raise what he sees as inconsistency on local sentencing practices :
"I congratulate the Indonesian Authorities on their work and hope the case is proved beyond doubt against any drug trafficker who gets caught. The one thing I can't understand is drug trafficking can bring the death sentence or life in prison but terrorist found guilty get a much more lenient sentence even when involving the death of so many (and) affect permanently countless others who lost family, friends or were injured and disfigured. Maybe that is where the inconsistency lies. . .I visit Bali often with my wife and bring what we can to help orphans and locals in way of clothing & toys the last thing these people need is a drug distribution centre operating out of Bali."
Australian Tony Swanson took issue with our editorial and calls for a greater distinction to be drawn between Shapelle Corby's case and that of the "Bali 9" :
"I generally enjoy your weekly newsletter, but today I found it very unfortunate that you draw a parallel between Ms Corby and the 'Bali 9.' That there would be anything like the level of support for the heroin 9 is an absurd proposition. The possibility of Ms Corby's innocence seems very real to many people, and this is a HUGE factor in the extent of support for her."
Sharon Camilleri of Australia wrote in :
"I have to agree with you - Bali is definitely not the problem, it is the drugs. . .While in Bali my friend and I got offered drugs but of course the answer was always 'no thank you' and it is not just Bali (this) happens in, it (also) happens here in Australia ...I also believe that no matter what country you visit you must have respect for their laws. I am hoping to return to Bali as I had a wonderful time while I was there I only hope that people do not continue to try and take drugs in and out of you beautiful country. I am hoping and praying for Schapelle and that your judges see that she is innocent and let her come home."
Philip Hilton wrote from Australia to say :
"Most Australians believe Corby is the innocent victim of Australian airport drug smugglers. They also consider the Bali 9 to be guilty. So I don't think you need to be too concerned about the Bali 9's conviction having a serious affect on Australian tourist numbers. Most Australians know your Police and ours work well together these days, and are learning to trust your Justice system. I have just booked for my 11th holiday in Bali and hope to continue visiting in the future."
Trevor Harrington, also writing from Australia, thinks the airline that flew Ms. Corby to Australia has missed its fair share of the criticism in the current case:
"As an Australian, I'm embarrassed by my countrymen who expect an Australian to be given preferred treatment simply because they are Australian. This applies just as much to identification of tsunami bodies as it does to the Indonesian legal system. Australians should ask how the situations initiated, rather than demand exemption in return for aid and assistance of tsunami victims. In the case of Shapelle Corby, I haven't heard a single complaint against the airline that had responsibility for the baggage and yet failed to cooperate in the early stages when a proper defense could have been secured."
Fiona wrote to insist she won't come back to Bali if Shapelle Corby is found guilty by the Indonesian courts :
"I agree that drugs are a major problem and have no sympathy for the 9, only their families. What they did was stupid and greedy, but Shapelle Corby is a different matter. I feel as do so many Australians that she is innocent. I don't think those drugs were ever meant to leave Australia. I have been to Bali 15 times and love everything about it but I will definitely not go back if she is found guilty as I am so convinced that she had nothing to do with those drugs. I went back to Bali 6 weeks after the bomb with no hesitation, but I just would not feel the same about Bali anymore if this poor girl is not listened to."
Jessica Pinkerton wrote regarding the hypocrisy in Bali's high profile street dealing in drugs when seen against the background of the current cases before the Indonesian Courts:
"I agree with a lot of what you said but I cannot agree with the way the Indonesian justice system works....guilty until proven innocent. When there is reasonable doubt, surely that must count for something. . .But when there is so much doubt surrounding the marijuana in Shapelle Corby's body board bag and there is not concrete evidence, I just don't see how you can demand life in prison. I think that is a bit hypocritical when you walk around in Bali and almost every 4th person offers you drugs. I am a yearly visitor to Bali and will not sign the petition to boycott travel, but I do think that Shapelle Corby deserves a fair trial."
Richard also writes from Australia to make a similar point :
"It is about time the local constabulary did something about all the drug sellers on the streets. On a recent trip I would barely walk 50 meters before I was offered anything in the drug line - and the sellers were quite blatant about what they were doing. Another point of dismay was the increasing offer to sell you pornography. So, who do I write to air these grievances?"
Also from Australia, Khatijah said :
" . . . I think that if you break the laws of the land you should be tried by the law of that land. But can you please tell me what a tourist should do when they are walking down the streets of Bali and having drug pushers trying to sell every kind of drug imaginable to them? Why aren't the drug pushers shot! They, too, are the scum of the earth and should be punished.......are they let off because it is the 'silly tourist' that buys the drugs that should be shot?"
Graham Hornel, a reader in Perth, wrote to say:
"Congratulations on a much-needed presentation of the rest of the facts, plus some realistic commentary on what has unfolded as a sad and sorry matter - one that has the potential to seriously damage both Australia-Indonesia relations and certainly Bali's tourism arrivals from Australia. . . .Drugs are indeed the problem and until law enforcement authorities in both countries combine to work back from the end user through the chain to the supplier, this situation will happen again. . . .Crack down very hard on those who openly sell death on the streets of Kuta and on those stupid enough to buy and then to use drugs in Bali and that will be positive progress. . . .No-one involved should be spared prosecution for involvement in any aspect of the drugs industry, be they Australian or Balinese, Policemen or Tourists."

The Porpoise of a Good Breakfast
North Bali's Puri Bagus Lovina Resort Offers Guests a Breakfast Cruise with Local Dolphins.
A 2-hour drive away from Bali's South and a world away in terms of its relaxed and laid-back atmosphere, Bali's north shore holds many wonders to visitors who take the time to explore its beaches, vineyards, and ancient temples.
On a recent brief visit to the luxurious
Puri Bagus Lovina Resort & Spa
we also discovered another unique treat awaiting those who spend a night at this very comfortable and well-run resort.
Guests now have the options of bookling an early morning
breakfast cruise
aboard the Resort's specially-designed 17-meter teak outrigger cruise boat. Powered by 2 x 85 HP outboard engines, the spacious vessel offers a delicious breakfast while guest sit at their tables watching the sun rise over nearby Mount Agung. Shortly after you start your second cup of piping hot coffee, you'll find the ship passing Bali's original capital of Singaraja.
Comfortable and extremely stable, the breakfast vessel comes equipped with its own grill for eggs-made-to-order, radio communications and toilet facilities.
The highlight of the early morning cruise, however, is unarguably the frequent encounters with pods of playful dolphins that make their home in these waters. While the boat's operators wisely warn that dolphin sightings can never be completely guaranteed, the crew estimated that guest manage to encounter these majestic mammals on nearly 90% of all breakfast cruise departures.
And should you be unfortunate and miss the dolphins on your morning cruise, take compensation in the form of a quick snorkel over local reefs on the sail back to shore and then sign up for another night and tomorrow's breakfast cruise at North Bali's best resort.

Canadians at Home in Bali
Canadian Couple Make Kuta's Bali Hai Resort and Spa and Bali their Second Home.
Dr. and Mrs. Nicholas Rety are just two of the nearly 1.5 million foreign tourists visiting Bali each year.
Flying halfway around the globe, Dr. Rety and his wife, Eva Dimitrov, regularly spend six weeks in Bali, visiting in March and September. This past March was their 17th visit to Bali where they make their home away from home the Orchid Villa at the
Balihai Resort & Spa.
"This place makes me feel at home. There is no glass barrier between you and the staff. The attitude is genuine-from the heart. And I found that staying at Orchid Villa is a simple form of life. This is a perfect end of the destination, where every day is like the embrace of a loving mother," said Dr. Rety.
In December 2003, Dr. Rety, a surgeon from British Columbia, Canada, delivered surgery equipment donated by fellow Canadians in response to the Bali Bomb tragedy of 2002. As a token of what Dr, Rety says is his fond attachment to Bali's "spirit of acceptance," the Doctor is bringing more donations on his upcoming visit.
When not practicing his much-in-demand skills as a surgeon, Dr Rety spends time gathering and re-writing personal journals and pictures to capture the experiences in life, dedicating them to his children and grandchildren. "It's like walking on the beach, you leave footprints in the sand, and if you look back at all the footprints behind you. You must leave some footprints in life." And, as you might expect, Bali plays an important role in his journals and writings, finding the island a never-ending source of inspiration.
Shown on
are Dr. and Mrs. Rety relaxing together at their favorite Bali hotel.

text: I just added some info regarding Kes' experiences with both contemplating and becoming a parent on Voyager. At the moment, it is highly inconvenient for me to add any more to this article, but as far as prominent examples of parenting on Star Trek go--or at least, reflections on parenting by prominent characters--this article is woefully lacking. Someone please add some information about James T. Kirk, Jean-Luc Picard, Worf, Beverly Crusher, Benjamin Sisko, Rom, Tuvok, and Seven of Nine (not to mention Sarek, Samantha Wildman, Phlox, and Trip Tucker, among others).--Antodav 01:00, February 28, 2010 (UTC)
