Summer Series - Pecan Summer: Bringing it HomeSunday 23 January 2011, 1:30pm ABC1
Pecan Summer Part 2 sees participants involved in the intensive training programs being held at the VCA in Melbourne. Creator Deborah Cheetham works with eight participants who receive tuition in performance skills ranging from vocal ensemble and movement to a Yorta Yorta language class as parts of Pecan Summer will be performed in the traditional tongue. The intensive will conclude with a recital performance to showcase the participants, and will include Deborah and some of the opera's non Indigenous cast members.
MIRIAM COROWA: Hello, Im Miriam Corowa. Welcome to the Summer Series of Message Stick.Pecan Summer, Australias first Indigenous-written and composed opera, has been many years in the making and Artistic Director, Deborah Cheetham, is the woman behind this extraordinary project.
Her inspiration for the work is the story of the 1939 Cummeragunja Walk-Off, when hundreds of Yorta Yorta left their homes on the banks of the Murray River in a protest against mission management.
Now, little more than seventy years later, the performers of Pecan Summer walk in the footsteps of these inspiring fighters for freedom.
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: Let's shake it up. (TRILLS HIGH NOTES)
JONATHON WELCH: And forgive us our trespasses.
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: Shake it up. This year in the 2009 Spring Intensive we'll be looking at developing some skills with German repertoire to add to our Italian repertoire. And, most exciting of all we'll be actually going up to Cummeragunja to have an on-country experience.
(JONATHON WELCH SINGS) # Our father
Which art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
(JESSICA HITCHCOCK SINGS) # Can I go home?
(ALL SING) # Thy will be done
As it is in heaven
(JONATHON WELCH SINGS) # Give us our daily bread
(JESSICA HITCHCOCK SINGS) # Can I go home?
(ALL SING) # And forgive us our trespasses...#
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: And I tell you what taking Pecan Summer back to the ground that it really is born out of that'll bring a whole new element that I cannot predict what dynamic that will inject into it, but well, I can say I can make one prediction, it will be powerful.
These participants are... ..such diverse group of people in their life experience. Put music aside for a moment but just in their life experience such a diverse group, so many stories, each and every one of them. They are bonded together with their love of music. And their ability with it. We have gospel singers and we have people who've only ever sung country and western. (LAUGHS) But people who would've sung classically much earlier if they'd been given the opportunity, if it'd have been just naturally expected that they would but that expectation hasn't been there, I fought against it in my own career, "No, we don't really expect you to do much." Not really saying, "It's cos you're Aboriginal," but, "We don't really expect it." Well, I know what I expected of myself. These people know what they expect of themselves. But perhaps they didn't dare to dream that they would get the chance to...live up to that expectation. and this course has allowed them to do that.
(WOMAN SINGS) # A ship there is
As she sails the seas
She's loaded deep
As deep can be... #
DON BEMROSE: We're united through music and that's they key factor and like that we can then just unite as a community. And that value is there for all of us as Aboriginal people is to unite and be one and join each other and to be on stage with, you know, 13 or 14 other Indigenous singers who are interested in opera and will be a part of the company of Pecan Summer just blew my mind.
(WOMAN SINGS) # Warm. #
Off you go.
(WOMAN SINGS) # The water is warm... #
BRENDAN BACKHOUSE: Keep going.
(WOMAN SINGS) # I cannot get over
And neither have
The wings of love
Bring me about... #
BRENDAN BACKHOUSE: OK, that's when we're going to Joan Sutherland.
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: Through that process of master class you have an environment where probably the most fertile environment that you could ever wish for to grow as an artist. The journey of the classical singer is a lifelong one but it takes at least ten years. So that's why we're developing these Spring Intensives because these singers don't have ten years. Pecan Summer will happen in 2010. And it will happen with the voices that they have in 2010. And then when they sing it in another five years' time there'll be more voice and more. But we are growing an opera cast here.
BRENDAN BACKHOUSE: That's very good, I've heard about you from a certain Stephen Grant. Yes, I met you, I know. But you then told me on the phone about doing this.
JOHN PARSONS: On the Wednesday we had a master class with Anna and that was spectacular. You know, we were a little bit nervous and that and apprehensive and then we just started singing...
(JOHN PARSONS SINGS) # The pasture gleams and glooms
'Neath billowing skies
That scatter
And immerse... #
JOHN PARSONS: Got through that piece holding onto that piano real tight too but then Anna come along and started, you know, sitting with us and moving our necks and you know all that type of stuff. And the projection and the easiness of breathing and stuff like that to actually execute that song much easier, it became really good. Yeah, so that was exciting. So a little bit overwhelming but yeah it's obviously a new genre of music for me.
(JOHN PARSONS SINGS) # The pasture gleams and glooms
'Neath billowing skies
That scatter
And immerse... #
JOHN PARSONS: One of the things that I like about Deborah is that she's not only, you know, up at that level and she's sung nationally and I think internationally... to actually not just bring one or two people along with her on that journey but to embrace a whole heap of mob, a batch of us is like, "Hey, you know, you might be interested in this," and creating this opportunity.
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: Jessica Hitchcock is such a talented young woman. She has developed her talent through a number of different avenues but all of those things wouldn't really mean much is they didn't have the joie de vivre that Jessica brings to this. Such joy of making music. And she can make music in the jazz field, R'n'B but equally in classical music.
JESSICA HITCHCOCK: Now I'm doing classical and I love it to pieces. It is so fun and um, it has a very good foundation for singing. And yeah, it's amazing the quality of everyone's voices here and just putting them altogether is...mesmerising. (LAUGHS) Initially when Deborah told me about Pecan Summer she had me in mind for the character of young Alice who is the main young girl who gets taken by the authorities and the story is based around this girl. And Deborah wrote it and told me that I had the part which was so exciting.
(JONATHON WELCH SINGS) # Daily bread
(JESSICA HITCHCOCK SINGS) # Can I go home...#
JESSICA HITCHCOCK: And it is amazing and inspirational and just so...so sad. And the fact that it's all true, like it's all based on real fact is just...ahh, it's very touching. (LAUGHS) I think we all cried at the end of the story.
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: Pecan Summer is the story... well, it centres around a young girl, Alice. And Alice in 1939 witnesses an event on Cummeragunja Mission where men and women and children of that mission walked off their land across the River Murray into Victoria in protest of how they were being treated. Alice is only 11 years old when she witnesses this. When we first meet her, she's an old woman, it's 2005.
(DEBORAH CHEETHAM SINGS) # The river red gums
A mighty river bend
And I know where all the snakes lived
Or so they told us. #
(TIRIKI ONUS SINGS) # If you ever find yourself alone
(OTHERS SING) # Alone at night
Alone at night
(TIRIKI ONUS SINGS) # Your father's gone out hunting
And your mother's gone as well
They should be back
You hear a CRACK
You smell that terrible smell
(OTHERS SING)# Ahhh. #
TIRIKI ONUS: Even as a small child when I was dreaming about being an opera singer I don't think I ever could've possibly dreamed about being in the first run of an original opera, having a role written for me...
(TIRIKI ONUS SINGS) # With long white hair
And long thin arms... #
TIRIKI ONUS: ..when you're actually playing a character that certainly based around my grandfather who died long before I was born. And in the course of this I've gone back to other family members who remember Bill and asked them what he was like and where I'm getting this from, and I had very lovely friend who managed to dig out some old ABC episodes of a television film called Alcheringa that Bill had been a part of.
BRENDAN BACKHOUSE: Yes, my people, the Australian Aborigines knew of Alcheringa which means from the very beginning of time. Their ways were the ways of their forefathers. These ways were good. They needed not be changed.
TIRIKI ONUS: And to hear him speak for the first time was an extraordinary, extraordinary experience and one that I think will last with me forever.
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: Uh, but we will be working still quite hard. In the next couple of days we've got a dress rehearsal tonight, we have our lunchtime performance tomorrow.
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: So yesterday's performance was quite amazing and the backup for today's performance was...thrilling.
A course like this doesn't just happen with one person or two people it's taken an amazing team. Thank you for the many things you do that perhaps I don't even know about and that's the sign of a very good team, is it not? That the slack gets taken up and that things get done and you find out about much later, so thank you very much.
JONATHON WELCH: Well, I was going to say, I think... it's the greatest honour for us to have the opportunity to be part of this journey, this extraordinary journey, this footprint that you are leaving with this work that you are doing will change the face of music, it will change how the Aboriginal community is able to express themselves. And the legacy that you leave through all the other singers that you're no longer the only Indigenous soprano in the village.
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: Oh, no! My boys!
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: To see Pecan Summer actually come to life on stage and be received by an audience who...they laughed... (CHUCKLES) ..they cried, they applauded. It still actually hasn't sunk in fully, I don't think.
BRENDAN BACKHOUSE: We were driving in and we saw the river and we thought - "Wow, this is it, this is where it all began." This is Alice's country and it's just a magical place to be because it's just...you can feel it all around you and, you know, you can still feel the hardships that they went through. Um, but it is really exciting because it's finally coming to life what we've been working so hard for, it's finally being born. (LAUGHS) And it's finally making sense. (LAUGHS)
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: The thing about using Yorta Yorta in the story of Pecan Summer is, it has to be contextual. And by 1939, very little Yorta Yorta was being spoken openly. It was being preserved mostly in song and most of those songs were hymns. One of the hymns that has been passed down through the generations is Bura Fera. And Bura Fera uh... basically is the story of Moses crossing the Red Sea and escaping from the pharaoh. And there was such a synergy there in that story, that exodus basically from the Old Testament and the exodus of the people from Cummeragunja Mission that it seemed a logical choice that we would learn to sing this song.
DR DAVID KRAM: We had a Yorta Yorta language class today and for the very first time the creation story of Dungala was made known to us in the Yorta Yorta language. I think I was horrified that it had not been done hundred of years before but I thought - "Well, it's better late than never." It's better, now is the moment that it's coming and what an amazing privilege to be part of that experience.
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: Now, Uncle Col, I'll just over to you two to welcome us to this beautiful place and...
BRENDAN BACKHOUSE: Well, I'd like to welcome you to Yorta Yorta country. So I still live at Cummeragunja, my grandmother was the midwife there, she delivered me there nearly 75 years ago. And I was never left the place.
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: So you were born on the banks of the...
BRENDAN BACKHOUSE: Right at Cummeragunja was our footfall ground there.
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: How old were you when the walk-off took place?
BRENDAN BACKHOUSE: Four. I was born in '35, 1935.
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: Four years old. Can you remember anything of that day?
BRENDAN BACKHOUSE: No, but I was always told that it was never, we were always told about it never to lose it, you know. So the great history of the Cummeragunja. Not many old missions are left. Now, they're called reserves, years ago I think that was a dirty word that was no more than concentration camps, how we had to...what we went through with the Aboriginal Protection Board, you know.
JOHN PARSONS: I think this is a great opportunity to tell this story. And to now actually be a part of Pecan which is based here and the story behind it, I'm pretty passionate and just like Deborah and a lot of the other mob. You know, really excited that we're telling this story that needs to be told to a wider audience.
(ALL SING) # Jesus called...#
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: Ah, singing in the forest was a dream come true, not just my dream but Uncle Col Walker's dream. First time I ever met his wife, Aunty Faye, she said, "Oh, Uncle Col's got this dream about you singing in the forest, he thinks it would just sound so perfect and it's what your ancestors did." And that's when that idea just sparked in my mind, "I wonder if we could pull that off?" And we did.
BRENDAN BACKHOUSE: Well done.
JESSICA HITCHCOCK: Being on the land where it happened is just going to be so beneficial for us whilst we're on stage to have that knowledge and the visualisation of where it all actually took place.
BRENDAN BACKHOUSE: Let it get in your shirt.
TIRIKI ONUS: What's wrong with this? Maybe if you actually -
BRENDAN BACKHOUSE: Oh, no, I like this one but -
TIRIKI ONUS: Maybe if you actually ironed it with a real iron before coming here
BRENDAN BACKHOUSE: No, no, I've got to wash it.
TIRIKI ONUS: Oh, great, oh, so...
BRENDAN BACKHOUSE: I'm constantly washing it.
JESSICA HITCHCOCK: How's that iron going?
TIRIKI ONUS: It's..
JESSICA HITCHCOCK: Is it working?
TIRIKI ONUS: It's coming along, I think I nearly got sort of trained over here. :BRENDAN BACKHOUSE: The steam was better. I need a handle -
TIRIKI ONUS: Have you got the steam switched on?
BRENDAN BACKHOUSE: It's takes twice as long, does half as good a job.
DEAN SKY LUCAS: There's lot of stage jitters but we've done a huge amount of rehearsals so everyone's in the best possible shape. Deborah is an amazing singer and I think the audience is going to be really impressed. But, you know, it's such a momentous occasion for Indigenous voices across Australia.
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: Welcome to the magnificent Friar's Cafe that sits on Yorta Yorta land, here in the very heart of Shepparton. I'd like to introduce to you, what I'm calling the Pecan Summer Children's Chorus and also the Shepparton Children's Chorus to sing a song in Yorta Yorta language.
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: Ladies and gentlemen, this next performance... features two wonderful talents, the talented Tori O'Kleeve but also accompanying her this evening is Australia's first Indigenous repetiteur, or accompanist. I'm sure you'd be astounded as I was to learn that he's only 19 years of age. And three years ago, he actually composed this piece for Tori.
(JONATHON WELCH SINGS) # Oh, Father
Which art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
(JESSICA HITCHCOCK SINGS) # Can I go home?
(ALL SING) # Thy will be done
As it is
As it is in heaven
Give us our daily bread
(JESSICA HITCHCOCK SINGS) # Can I go home?
(ALL SING) # And forgive our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us
Deliver us
From evil
For thine is the kingdom
The power and the glory
And ever
Amen. #
DEBORAH CHEETHAM: Today, in particular, I'm really keeping a lid on it today because I do feel very emotional about the dreams that I've seen unfold right before my very eyes. Ones that I haven't even necessarily articulated to anybody else. They've just been held in my heart. And then the next step is... finding which of the participants really wants to make classical music their focus and really see themselves as being part of the ensemble of the opera. But I'm so proud of each and every one of them, what they've discovered about themselves and their potential. To give the gift of performance to an audience, it's the most giving experience you can have.
MIRIAM COROWA: Dont miss the final chapter in this incredible journey, where Deborah and her cast come together for the world premiere the opera Pecan Summer.
Thanks for watching, see you next week.

The following criteria are used by core developers in reviewing and approving proposed changes to Drupal core:
- The changes support and enhance Drupal project aims.
- The proposed changes are current. New features should be filed against the most recent development version. Currently, Drupal 8 is open for new features. In keeping with Drupal's approach to backwards compatibility, new features can be backported to stable releases only if they can be added in a non-disruptive way (see the backport criteria).
Bug fixes are applied to newer versions first, and then may be backported to currently supported releases.
When submitting patches, it's best to write your patch for the appropriate branch. There may have been significant changes since the last release, so developing for the latest version means that your patch will be easiest to apply and merge in, and thus more likely to be used.
- The proposed change doesn't introduce any significant issues or risks. Specifically, issues that have been raised in the review process have been satisfactorily addressed.
- The changes are well coded. This means coding in accordance with the Drupal coding standards and the coding is intelligent and compact. Elegant solutions will have greater support than cumbersome ones that accomplish the same result.
- There is demonstrated demand and support for the change. Demand is indicated by comments on the drupal.org issues system or comments in forums or the drupal-dev email list.
- The change will be used by a substantial part of the installed Drupal base as opposed to being relevant only to a small subset of Drupal users.
- The benefits of the change justify additional code and resources. Every addition to the code base increases the quantity of code that must be actively maintained, e.g., updated to reflect new design changes or documentation approaches. Also, added code increases the overall Drupal footprint through added procedure calls or database queries. Benefits of a change must outweigh these costs.

Your Love of Energy Drinks Could Put You in the ER
It's about 3 o'clock...are you feeling a little sluggish and need a pick me up? Maybe an energy drink would come in handy right now...and maybe not. My 19-year-old son and 18-year-old daughter love to drink Monster and I have a friend who swears by his daily 5-Hour Energy drink. According to a new survey of U.S. hospitals, the number of trips to the emergency room that are tied to energy drink consumption has doubled over the last four years. Great, first no large sodas in New York City and now this - is there no end to the debauchery?

Time Schedule:
Jonathan E Murr
Bothell Campus
Examines a topic, theme, problem, or area of the world in order to provide a deeper understanding of an aspect of Global Studies.
Class description
Spring 2012: Mapping & Globalization
This course asks students to explore the much-contested concept of "globalization" through the work of visual artists, activists, filmmakers and scholars, and then to produce research-based mapping projects. After reading a few key theoretical works on globalization and its spatial logics understood, variously, in terms of "neoliberalism," "postcoloniality" and "neocolonialism," we will focus on "mapping" four contemporary spaces or sites in which global processes and struggles occur: urban spaces and slums, prisons and carceral networks, borders/borderlands and universities. Rather than relying solely on the work of geographers and other social scientists, we will explore these spaces as they are represented and imagined in different artist and activist projects. These projects offer a range of ways of critically engaging questions of mobility and immobility, development and difference, inequality and violence in our "globalized" present. To do so will encourage us to interrogate categories such as citizenship, freedom, progress and (trans)national belonging.
In addition to frequent study assignments and quizzes and one short presentation, students will research, design and develop a mapping project on a topic relevant to the study of globalization. Projects can range from works of visual art to an interactive Google Map of the UW Bothell campus or other site to more complex GIS-based maps.
Students do not need a Geography, GIS or visual arts background or any advanced familiarity with theories of globalization in order to take the course. The once-a-week format for the course will allow us to use roughly half of class time as a workshop for the research and mapping projects, supplemented by workshops by Seattle-based visual artist Julia Freeman and by other faculty at UW.
Course materials will include An Atlas of Radical Cartography, available through the UW Bookstore, and readings and maps by Ashley Hunt, Avery Gordon, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Gloria Anzaldúa, Mike Davis, Trevor Paglen, Bureau d'études, David Harvey, The Counter-Cartographies Collective, Cai-Guo Quiang, David Theo Goldberg, Critical Resistance, Edward Soja, and others, available via e-reserve.

Sharpsburg resident pens book spotlighting Pittsburgh mansions
Melanie Linn Gutowski's love of old houses started when she took music and art classes at the King estate in Pittsburgh.
She was most interested in the building itself and the old fireplace inside.
"That house was like the start of my obsession," Gutowski said.
That interest led to her first book, "Pittsburgh's Mansions."
The history of local mansions includes a home on La Tourelle Lane in Fox Chapel and the David Kirk mansion in Sharpsburg, the former home of a local Eagles organization.
It also features a chapter on homes in Sewickley.
Gutowski, who lives in Sharpsburg, took about eight months to write the book. However, her research had been ongoing for years for her own enjoyment.
When she saw a call for ideas from Arcadia Publishing she pitched to them the concept of a book focused only on mansions.
Since the book's release in August, Gutowski said she has heard from many people at readings and various events who are glad the book has provided them more information about the region's history.
"People have a lot of memories of the places that they pass by every day even if they haven't been inside," Gutowski said.
Preserving the history of local mansions is important to Gutowski, especially since many disappear.
She said the Clayton House, where she works as a part-time docent, and Hartwood Acres are among the few mansions that are open to the public.
"They're almost entirely all gone," Gutowski said.
Most of the homes featured in the book are from Pittsburgh's East End neighborhoods including Shadyside, Point Breeze and Squirrel Hill.
Gutowski said she has heard suggestions from readers for other homes that could be featured in a second book.
Gutowski said she plans to focus on freelance writing opportunities and hopes to write more books in the future.
She said she's glad to know the topic she became obsessed with is of interest to others.
"I'm gratified to know there are a lot of other old house geeks out there," Gutowski said.

What I Did This Summer
What I Did This Summer
This is the first in a series of articles about Carolina students and their exciting, diverse summer activities.
Close your eyes and imagine traveling to the Caribbean. Beautiful, white-sand beaches. Clear skies. Crystal blue waters.
That's one scene that awaited a group of Carolina students who flew to the Dominican Republic for a Maymester study-abroad adventure.
But during the eight-day trip, the students also saw extreme poverty. They spent time with orphaned children who craved adult attention. And they made a difference in the lives of a small group of nuns and the orphanage they manage.
Cultural exchange
"The trip provided students with an awareness of international poverty," said Maymester course instructor Peter Cardon, director of international programs in the College of Hospitality, Retail, and Sport Management.
Peter Cardon
"The students also acquired public-relations skills helpful in promoting a non-profit organization -- in this case, the Orchid Foundation, which supports the orphanage at which they worked for more than a week."
In addition to playing with the children and getting to know the people who ran it, the Carolina students painted the large, main orphanage building.
"We wanted to provide some meaningful service -- painting the building -- and give emotional support to the children," Cardon said. "We accomplished in four days what the nuns expected to take two weeks.
"The orphanage is well run by Catholic nuns. However, with 165 kids, the best efforts of the three to four nuns running the orphanage still leave many of the children starving for adult attention. The children loved getting some time to play with our students."
The Maymester trip was exactly what pre-pharmacy major Kerri Brown had been searching for in a project.
"I had been looking for a summer study-abroad trip to take because I received a Summer Study Fellowship with my academic scholarship," Brown said. When she learned about Cardon's course, she knew she had found the one.
On May 8, Brown and 12 of her classmates boarded an airplane bound for Santa Domingo. It was Brown's first plane ride.
"I was not really sure what to expect about the Dominican Republic," she said. "I had never been on a plane before, much less out of the country, so everything was new to me."
What Brown discovered upon her arrival surprised her.
"I had anticipated some things, like not being able to drink the water," she said. "However, I was definitely not prepared for the levels of poverty that we saw there. I have been in poor neighborhoods in the United States, but the poor neighborhoods in the Dominican Republic are on a totally different scale. It broke my heart."
Work hard, play hard
"I honestly was not disappointed in anything regarding the program," said Elise Bunyan, a hotel, restaurant, and tourism management major. "I went into it not really knowing what to expect, and I was really amazed with how organized and put together it was. We went down to the Dominican Republic to work, and we finished all of our painting with time to spare. We were also able to experience a lot of the Dominican culture when we had free time at night. We ate at a lot of different local restaurants, and got to go to several of the beaches as well."
The best part came on the last day, she said.
"After lunch the children performed for us. It was very touching and made me realize even with how little we did for them, it still made a really big impact on their lives. We gave them hope and lots of smiles."
Promoting a non-profit
Once the students were back on South Carolina soil, they had to complete the course requirements.
"They were all required to develop a presentation about the foundation that sponsors the orphanage," Cardon said. "They used Power Point slides and other visuals to create their presentation, and then they gave the presentation to a group of their choosing. The Orchid Foundation is located in New Jersey, and the students educated their group as to how to become a member and how to support the foundation and its works.
"The students got public relations experience and practice, and the foundation got some well-deserved publicity."
'Wonderful ambassadors'
The Dominican Republic excursion was the first time Cardon had taken Carolina students on such a trip, and he called them wonderful ambassadors for the University and the United States.
"The students worked hard in uncomfortable weather, and the nuns and others in charge of the orphanage were deeply touched by their generosity and good will," he said. "The children loved playing with them.
"It is always wonderful trying to make a positive impact on the world and developing relationships," he said. "But I walked away feeling as if the Dominicans had given more to us, rather than vice versa."

Angelina Jolie To Direct, Plus Other Actresses Who've Gone Behind The Camera
Directing movies has gone exceptionally well for many leading men in Hollywood. Clint Eastwood has been nominated for the Best Director Oscar four times, and Warren Beatty, Robert Redford, and Kevin Costner have all gotten Oscar nods for stepping behind the camera. Oh, and George Clooney didn't do too shabby with his directorial debut, "Good Night, and Good Luck," did he?
Now Angelina Jolie is taking the plunge behind the camera. She's announced that for her next movie, she won't be acting—she'll be directing and producing. Did we forget to mention that she also wrote the screenplay? The as-of-now untitled movie is a Bosnian War love story. "The film focuses on a Serbian man and a Bosnian woman who meet on the eve of the war and the effect the war has on their relationship," a statement about the film reads. It continues that they won't be auditioning big names for the roles in the movie; they'll be using actors of "various ethnicities from the region of the former Yugoslavia." [People]
We wish Angie good luck on her first directing venture. In her honor, here are other famous ladies who've sat in the director's chair:
- Drew Barrymore has been producing flicks since 1995, when she formed Flower Films, the production company that brought you "Never Been Kissed" and "Charlie's Angels." But it wasn't until last year that Drew tried her hand at directing with the roller derby flick "Whip It." [Access Hollywood]
- It was apparently Guy Ritchie who inspired Madonna to direct her first film, "Filth and Wisdom." Like their marriage, it was a stinker. We hope she does better with her new one, "W.E.," the tale of the affair between King Edward VIII and American socialite Wallis Simpson. The flick stars Abbie Cornish and is being filmed as we speak. [L.A. Times, Daily Mail]
- Sofia Coppola made her acting debut as a baby, in the christening scene in "The Godfather," cause her pops was the director. She also landed roles in "The Outsiders," "Peggy Sue Got Married," and "The Godfather Part 3″— all films her father directed. But then she decided to try directing. She went on to make the "The Virgin Suicides," "Lost In Translation," and "Marie Antoinette." She became the third woman nominated for Best Director for "Lost in Translation." Go Sofia! [Wikipedia]
- Barbra Streisand established a production company in 1972 and wore many hats on the set of "Yentl"—she wrote, produced, directed, and starred in the movie, which got five Academy Award nominations. She did the director, producer, and star trifecta twice more in the '90s, for "The Prince of Tides" and "The Mirror Has Two Faces." Some note that in her self-directed flicks, she gives herself a lot of close-ups. We say she earned it. [Wikipedia, Get Listy]
- Goldie Hawn not only starred in '80s classics "Private Benjamin," "Protocol," and "Wildcats"—she also produced them. She didn't start directing, though, until 1997 when she called the shots for the movie "Hope." We won't hold it against her that it was made for TV. [Wikipedia]
- Jennifer Aniston has also directed. Well, at least a short film called "Room 10″ about an emergency room. Apparently, though, she once had a shot to direct an episode of "Friends." She said, "Well, I was slotted to direct an episode of 'Friends' And then I got 'The Good Girl.' See? So, you either got 'The Good Girl' or you got a very bad direction of 'Friends.'" She was apparently inspired to direct for real when Gwyneth Paltrow made a short earlier that year. [CBS News, Wikipedia]

Counseling for Couples & Individuals – Phone Counseling Also Available
You Can Save Your Relationship & Feel Better Right Away
Is your life turned upside down? Are you suffering through unbearable emotional stress, personally or in a relationship? Are you contemplating the scary prospect of a divorce? Have you begun to hate your job or career and see no way out? Are your kids driving you crazy and you feel like a failure as a parent? Do you have chronic illnesses and seem to live in doctors' offices? Are you having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep? Do you have trouble concentrating, getting motivated and feel exhausted?
Life is full of dark potholes, detours and unexpected hardships. It's often difficult to find your way into the light without the help of a professional. But how do you go about finding the right help? How do you choose a therapist who will be able to help you feel better right away?
Why See a Clinical Psychologist?
All of the helping professionals are referred to as "therapists." How do you know if the therapist you need should be a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Psychiatrist, Clinical Social Worker, Marriage Counselor, Psychotherapist, Hypnotherapist or Family Therapist? All of these professionals are referred to generically as "therapists."
In short, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist has earned a Ph.D. (9 or 10 or more years of college training and an internship) where the Clinical Social Worker and Family Therapist or Marriage Counselors are usually Masters level therapists. Psychiatrists are physicians who work primarily with emotional issues that require medication to manage the symptoms.
Always be certain that the therapist you choose is currently licensed in your State, because the titles "Psychotherapist, Counselor and Hypnotherapist," for example, are not regulated titles and can be used by unlicensed, uneducated people.
Regardless of the education and experience level of the therapist, however, you must also be completely comfortable with that expert, because your comfort level is an essential ingredient in successful therapy.
Call Now for a Free 20 Minute Phone Consultation
Choose a therapist who is willing to speak with you briefly over the phone before you commit to an appointment. Unfortunately, these people are often few and far between, but when you find a therapist who is willing to speak to you on the phone without cost, you can get a feel for the his/her listening skills, sensitivity%2

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Thank you for your prompt answer. Anabelle had her surgery on Monday, October 7th and the incontinence problem just began on Sunday,, October 20th. As well as contiuing with the Clamax should I also continue with the Rimadyl since this anti inlamatory could help with possible irritations with inflamations?
Thank you !
Anabelle was on the same dog food for 10 years. The only change to her diet was the addition of Cosequin, which has a lot of magnesium, almost two years ago. I strongly suspect Cosequin to be the cause of her struvite bladder stones. What is your opinion??
Thanks ~
Thank you for your prompt reply.
Just one more question ~ Anabelle is now on Urinary SO dog food and the list of ingredients doesn't look that pretty low grade. I know it's high in sodium for more water intake/urination but is there another dog food that would contain better nutritional value.
She was on Merrick's for 10 years and although I know she can no longer have this dog food I'm looking for something with the same nutritional value as well as the sodium needed for future prevention of stones.
Would you have a recommendation?

Park Distance Control Compatability
I was wondering is it possible to program the pdc from a e90 into the e46? I would like to get the dynavin d99+, however the regular e46 don't have the sensors for the front. The e90 has front sensors, so I would like to know what the set up would be like and is it possible????:thanks:
Well I found the answer to my question. The PDC for the e90 is NOT compatible with the e46. However, I think I have found a way to retrofit an OEM PDC to the e46 so that I can get front and rear sensors. I am currently trying to secure all the parts needed. When I get this figured out I will be completing a DIY with pictures. So stay tuned!!!!:idea:
Old thread, I know. But let us know when you do make that DIY! I, for one, am very interested.
Almost done securing the parts, I just need to get the sensors. I will keep everyone posted.
Park Distance Control Compatability
Can you post the parts needed for rear PDC retrofit too? Thanks.. :)
Sent from BimmerApp mobile app
Ok everyone I got the rear oem pdc to work for the e46. I even got the pdc on/off switch. :thumbsup: and I'm pretty sure the front will work as well (I still have to make the harness). I will post this in the DIY section when I'm done as I am in the middle of doing the write-up....Its looking good!!!
PDC module
Rear bumper wire harness
Power Supply harness (has to be constructed)
4 sensors
for those interested I have started the DIY on another thread located here

Franciscan Priest Ringing a Bell then Forcefully Closing his Door
As this priest was closing the church, he permitted me to stay 10 minutes to take a few pictures. When I took the picture of the mosaic of the seal of the President of the United States depicted in an olive tree in the dome of his Catholic Church, by the Garden of Gethsemane in Jerusalem, I stopped him to ask, "Why is the seal of the President of the United States in the olive tree in the dome of this church in Israel?" At once, he escorted me out of the church without answering my question. I took this picture of him as he briskly shut the door. The reflection in his eyes is actually of me standing in the sunlight of the open doorway.

Building a better OnMilwaukee.com office
Seven months ago, OnMilwaukee.com needed to move, and move fast.
It wasn't entirely unexpected.
Having called the East Side our home for the past 14 years, we were already on the lookout for new space. We'd outgrown our old office on North Avenue in several ways, and with the building for sale, we hired our friend and corporate realtor, Steve Palec from Cresa, to find us something better. We just didn't know what that was.
"Inertia is a powerful thing," says Palec, who's negotiated deals for the commissioner of baseball, Kohl's and other clients much larger than the 15-person staff of OnMilwaukee.com. "A lot of people don't realize that a little bit of effort in exploring what's out there can open up a lot of different things you've never thought about."
Still, we didn't head too far outside our comfort zone at first, mostly because we didn't know what we were looking for.
"You're dissimilar to accounting firms and law firms, but you're similar to some of my favorite projects," recalls Palec. "What you were cognizant of was the 'live, work, play' concept. You couldn't be talked into the coolest place if you weren't comfortable with the building."
In fact, we were close on signing a lease at another East Side office last fall when our North Avenue building was sold. That space wasn't quite for OnMilwaukee.com, so we turned back to Palec with a new request: find us something right away.
Palec, who had himself just moved into CityCenter at 735 N. Water St., suggested we consider his new office building, too, "although I'm space-agnostic," he notes. Two days later, Sheldon Oppermann of Compass Properties gave us keys to temporary space on the second floor and began the process of winning us over to stay at the historic Downtown office building.
"When I saw it was you guys, well, I'd been hoping to do something with you for a long time," says Oppermann, who made the short-term move incredibly smooth. "When you get with people who get it, you want to keep them close."
Even though we weren't sold on the idea of moving Downtown, Oppermann quickly convinced us. The amenities – like delivered dry cleaning, groceries, bike parking and an amazing concierge service – didn't hurt, either.
Says Oppermann, "I suggested you come in and try it. If I could get you here, I can help you understand why it's cool to be here."
What was initially most intriguing to us was the building's location – at Water and Mason Streets – followed by CityCenter's work, life balance mantra. But when Palec and Oppermann showed us the raw space they had in mind for us at Suite 1120, we were sold.
But raw space is just that without the vision to turn it into a reality. As much as we originally expected to land in a warehouse space in the Third Ward, or stay on the East Side, the idea of an empty box was also appealing. We needed space built just for us.
It had to look professional and modern, but also open and collaborative and respectful of our unique company's culture. Oppermann had a plan for that, too.
He selected architect Mark Mattes to build us a space that would be airy and bright, with a north-south orientation so everyone has a view of both the City Hall skyline and the Third Ward. The editorial office is just a little separated, which allows for the quiet writers need, but it flows into where the programmers, designers, social media and sales team sit. My business partner, Jeff, and I have private offices, but with glass walls. And we have a small conference room, as well as an open lounge that spills into the kitchen, storage and IT closet.
While the square footage is bit smaller than our old office, it's so creatively designed that it feels open and spacious.
"It was already demoed out, which is what you were looking for. The suite really fits your brand. You can see all the way through from one side to the other. As transparent as the Internet Age is ... here you are," notes Oppermann.
Oppermann concedes that the design was incredibly important to us, so he brought in Heather Colligan-Clarke from Creative Business Interiors. "When we heard you wanted to be in something that was 'urban cool," we found someone who does that sort of stuff. They know how to do that."

Muschamp Must Beat Georgia To Survive At Florida
BY: John Mamola
This is a very important year for the future of the Florida Gators with head coach Will Muschamp looking to bounce back after a very disappointing 4-8 record snapping a 22-year bowl streak. Muschamp has been under heavy fire ever since his hire from the University of Texas and with a schedule that includes visits to defending national champion Florida State and Alabama, it will be a tough road to come for the Gators to get to the minimum six wins and a bowl berth in the stacked Southeastern Conference.
ESPN Radio host Paul Finebaum joined WDAE's "The Sports Page" on Thursday and said he believes this season will bring Muschamp good fortune and another shot at another season in Gainesville.
"I like the swagger that Will (Muschamp) has," said Finebaum. "I agree that Florida has the making of a very team. Everyone's healthy, the defense is outstanding, Jeff Driskell looks like the right guy. The problem is the schedule and people have already talked about it. When you have the two toughest road games in America at Tuscoloosa and at Tallahassee, you start the season 0-2 and then you start to navigate the usual suspects like LSU and South Carolina."
Finebaum mentioned however that Muschamp's future could be dependant on one game solely when it comes to any decision Athletics Director Jeremy Foley must make.
"You have to do the most important thing in my mind and that's beat Georgia," said Finebaum. "You're not going to survive long term at Florida if you lose to Georgia every year. So if he can survive the SEC maybe in addition to the other two losses and only lose one more game and beat Georgia, I think 8-4 or 9-3 will give him another year."

Academic Programs
Business Admin: Finance Concentration
elcome to the Business Administration - Finance Program. Students who are interested in money - making it, spending it, investing it, working with it a degree in business administration with a concentration in finance may be the path to follow. The finance concentration has only been in existence since 2006, and presents students with an opportunity to be part of the evolution of the program to meet the specific needs of UMES graduates.
Career Opportunities
Finance Concentrations graduates receive the broad base of understanding in business that all our majors have, with more in depth understanding of the financial workings of companies, markets and individuals. Our students will be ready for entry into banking, business advisory, budgeting, financial analysis, brokering and other finance related careers. Our goal is to develop the program into a full major in the near future. Our students have already distinguished themselves in their performance at the Federal Reserve Challenge in Baltimore, received several finance scholarships, and gotten entry positions with major financial institutions. Many students will enter graduate school within a few years of graduation.
Professional Development Opportunities
Many professional development opportunities are available through membership in student organizations supported by the Department of Business, Management, and Accounting. We are pursuing student membership in the Financial Management Association as part of the plan to develop the finance major. We foresee many new opportunities as the program becomes integrated into the local and regional consciousness.

We showed our support for young local football players by donating more than £1,000 to Weddington Thistle Junior Football Club's U18s, which play in the Tamworth Junior Football League.
Cherelle Brandy from Taylor Wimpey's Milby Hall at the Farm development with the Weddington Thistle Junior Football Club Under 18s in the new Taylor Wimpey sponsored kit.
Our donation will be used to provide 16 away shirts for the match day squad and 20 sweatshirts for the whole squad.
Stewart Pratt, Team Manager, says: "We hadn't got enough funds for the away shirts, which the league specifies you need in case of a colour clash with your opponents, so this donation has really helped us out.
"And getting the sweatshirts for the players is a real bonus – they'll be great for training as the weather gets colder and will really make them feel part of the team when they're turning up for matches.
"Big thanks to Taylor Wimpey for helping us out; it's much appreciated by myself and the lads!"
Anne Wallace, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, adds: "We are delighted to be sponsoring Weddington Thistle Junior Football Club and hope they have a successful season wearing their new kit!
"As a local housebuilder, we are committed to supporting the communities in which we build our new homes. This partnership with Weddington Thistle is a great example of the way we can help clubs and organisations which play such an important role in local community life."

AMHERST – Jim Bottomley will not be returning to the Amherst CIBC Wood Gundy Ramblers next season.
Team president Jim Henwood confirmed Wednesday the team has not been able to come to terms with the coach and general manager and will be starting the process to hire a replacement.
"As a committee of myself, Keith Blenkhorn and Billy Chapman, we presented him with an offer and he came back to us with another offer that included a two-year contract and a significant pay increase," Henwood said. "It's just not economically feasible for us to give him want he wants."
Bottomley, the longtime coach of the former Halifax Exports franchise, was hired by the Ramblers in June 2011 to replace coach Jeff Lewis and general manager Corey Crocker. In his first season he took the team to Game 7 of the then Bent Division final series before losing to the Yarmouth Mariners, while last season he took the club to Game 6 of the Eastlink final before losing to the Fred Page Cup host Truro Bearcats.
Under his leadership, the Ramblers had a record of 63 wins, 29 losses, eight overtime losses and four shootout losses.
Henwood said he has a couple of names in mind to replace Bottomley and hopes to begin looking for a replacement as soon as possible. A
"We have a few people in mind. We had to be prepared going into Saturday when his contract expired. We were a little squeezed because the annual meeting was just last Tuesday. We can't hire a coach without the approval of the board," he said.
Henwood said he's very disappointed that Bottomley isn't returning and he's very doubtful there will be any further discussion with the former coach.
"I was very proud when we brought Jim Bottomley to Amherst two years and I was honoured to have him as our coach and general manager the last two seasons. He has done a lot of great things for this franchise, but at the end of the day it comes down to money," Henwood said. "We just couldn't give him what he wants."
Bottomley said he was looking forward to returning to Amherst for a third season and is surprised he wasn't given an opportunity to sit down with the board and talk it over.
"I wanted to come back but they didn't want to do anything. I felt after the last two years and what we've done that something would be done," Bottomley said. "They waited until the last minute and nothing could be done."
Bottomley said there were no negotiations between himself and the board. He said the club wanted to cut his travel expenses. He offered to meet with Henwood, but was told it was a decision of that board that they don't want to spend any more money.
"I'm very disappointed because we were starting to really build something good in Amherst, but it's tough to go year to year and normally before your contract is up you start negotiations," Bottomley said. "I had two good years in Amherst and that's where my heart is."

The IFF Principle of Biblical Interpretation
One way in particular that it has been on my mind is with regard to how we handle differences of interpretation in Scripture. Our church is doing a study of Ephesians for the next several weeks and—just as in Romans—we are seeing Paul weave a theme of unifying around the core of the Gospel while allowing "debatable" things to differ.
This has of course long been one of the hallmarks of my site—our motto is, "In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things love."
But the question always arises…how do you know if a particular topic is "essential" or "non-essential"? I explain this over on my "Essentials" page. But even that lacks some clarity for some people.
Last year, for example, I did a teaching on evangelizing to evolutionists for my church youth group. Now we all agreed of course in the broad scope of intelligent design/creationism—that is, that God created the universe and that any morphological variations which happen throughout time are part of His Plan, and not random/unguided. But there was (as one may suspect) a disagreement between some of the youth regarding the age of the earth—some were Young Earth Creationists and some were Old Earth Creationists. (And at least one was a Cosmic Time Creationist, following the work of Schroeder's Science of God.)
Now, my approach last year was simple: I provided evidence for and against each of those topics, and argued that this was not something which should destroy Christian fellowship. Age of the Earth is not an essential doctrine of the faith, nor is the theology a slam-dunk for either YEC or OEC. I argued for unity and grace to be given to those with a different opinion.
However—also as one might suspect—some Christians are more willing to accept this than others. Some (on both sides of the debate) did not see this as a "debatable" thing at all, but rather felt that the matter was absolutely critical to our faith.
We see this all the time in other areas as well, with Calvinism vs. Arminianism probably being the most famous Protestant example. We American Christians just LOVE to draw a firm boundary around our interpretations and call it an "essential" to the faith (regardless of whether most Christians throughout history agreed with it.)
So how do we handle this situation? How do we both confirm the inerrancy of Scripture and yet maintain unity, allowing polite disagreement on debatable issues?
The IFF Principle
I have long described my approach as Augustinian, or (to paraphrase Michael Horton of White Horse Inn) I have sometimes said that we must read a text only for what it necessarily must be saying. But that is not clear to a lot of people.
The other day, it occurred to me that I have a much better way of describing this—at least to the fellow geeks who love my blog!
In mathematics, programming, and philosophy/logic, we often use "logic gates" to connect two statements together. Common logical connectors are AND, OR, NOR, IF, etc. So for example, I might say, "IF the San Francisco 49ers win this weekend, they will be in the Super Bowl." Or I might say, "IF the San Francisco 49ers win this weekend AND in two weeks, they will be Super Bowl Champions." So you see that I use these logical connectors to describe the conditions under which the two statements can be joined.
Well, one such statement is abbreviated "IFF"—it means, "If and only if."
The IFF Principle means that the object of the sentence is true if the subject is true—and ONLY in that scenario.
For example, take the statement, "The 49ers will win IF they score at least 20 points." In this case I am saying that the scoring of 20 points would guarantee them a win. But I do not say that this is the only way to win in this case. Logically I am only guaranteeing the one statement (20 points = 1 win), but not guaranteeing the reverse (less than 20 points = 0 wins).
However, if I said: "The 49ers will win IF AND ONLY IF they score at least 20 points," then I am being more specific. This "if and only if" (IFF) statement means that the only possible scenario in which they win is scoring 20 points.
Make sense?
The IFF Principle in Scriptural Exegesis
So when reading a Scripture, my approach is to apply an "IFF" principle to my interpretations.
That is, I say: "Is the Bible true IF AND ONLY IF my interpretation is true?"
Asking this question is very, very powerful—and very humbling. When you ask this question, you quickly can see which doctrines are non-debatable essentials, and which are not.
Using this method, you realize quickly that the Bible's inerrancy is not dependent upon viewing creation as either young or old. You realize quickly that the Bible's inerrancy is not dependent upon whether you are a pre-, post-, or a-millennialist. You realize that the Bible's inerrancy is not dependent upon whether you are a futurist or a preterist or an historicist. You realize that the Bible's inerrancy is not dependent upon whether you are a Calvinist or Armianist. You realize that the Bible's inerrancy is not dependent upon whether the Old Testament generations are complete or incomplete.
But you also realize very quickly the things which do put the Bible's inerrancy at risk—and thus, which are key doctrines of the faith. You realize that God must be the Creator making the universe. You realize that God must have exiled us after our rebellion in the Garden, and all of us receive a sin-nature curse as a result. You realize that Jesus must have lived and died and rose again. You realize that we must pledge lifelong loyalty to Him in salvation, and that we are expected to seal such a pledge with baptism. You realize that Christ will return and judge us all, and that we have eternal life.
The IFF method is a great way to keep yourself honest, because it quickly reduces your theology to the most important key point, namely: is this a clearly-defined necessity of the faith, or not?
So when you are hearing about a contradiction or considering debating with another person to defend your particular interpretation of a passage, ask yourself this simple question: "Is the Bible true IF AND ONLY IF my interpretation is true?" If the answer is 'no,' that the Bible could still be true if your interpretation is wrong, then you need to give the other person grace and seek unity, not discord, with them.20>

You know, it's interesting how the NT often talks about being in harmony with other believers - and I think agreeing to disagree on hot-button issues is a big part of that. This has been a difficult lesson for me to learn, because I have my own horns I'm inclined to toot in church, and it's difficult to make yourself be quiet for the sake of preserving the harmony of the church as a whole.ReplyDelete
That's not to say that there aren't important issues worth fighting over, but it's helpful to remember that there were guys concerned with being "right" about everything in Jesus' day, too - the Pharisees.
I'm looking forward to applying this to my thoughts in future situations! Though, I'm sure that has absolutely NOTHING to do with being an MS Excel geek.....ReplyDeleteReplies
Ha--yes, Dan, if you are a (fellow) Excel geek, then this is definitely up your alley...Delete

Enamored by Jawili-A A +A
By Mimi Olorga
Sunday, February 9, 2014
CRISPY fresh air. Cool gentle breeze. Whispering green leaves. Cascading clear waters flowing down on seven basins. Seven? That's quite amazing!
Amazing indeed how God has endowed our country with beautiful natural resources. From mountains down to plains, waterfalls to rivulets, ferns up to orchids, and the big "dugong" to the smallest "pandaca pygmea" can always make us glad and thankful for these gifts.
Very near or far our homes are these wondrous natural beauties we can be proud of.
Nestled in the inner recess of Tangalan town in Aklan are the breathtaking seven-basin Jawili Falls. The crystal clear waters cascade down seven low tiers of earth. What makes the place more majestic is it still is able to maintain its pristine natural beauty even with some man-made improvements. The park's lamp-lined avenue which leads to the falls make the resort more romantic in ambiance. The native and concrete cottages near the falls offer comfortable rest and food for visitors. The guests can also take the option of walking towards the beach or up the low hill to have a better view of the grounds below.
Between the clean, deep and blue sea, and the green hills are the waters of Jawili Falls – one spectacle to behold, one natural wonder for the weary soul. No wonder why the place is a must-see-and-visit when one goes to Aklan. No question why Leila and Linda and all the others who have gone to visit, see, and swim in Jawili were are enamored by its innate beauty.
How about you? This summer, probably?

About L'heure espagnole
L'heure espagnole is a one-act opera, described as a comédie musicale, with music by Maurice Ravel to a French libretto by Franc-Nohain, based on his play ('comédie-bouffe') of the same name first performed at the Théâtre de l'Odéon on 28 October 1904. The title can be translated literally as "The Spanish Hour", but the word "heure" more importantly means "time" – "Spanish Time", with the connotation "How They Keep Time in Spain". Ravel had been at work on the music as early as 1907.
