for your results.
Having the support of a Club full of Members will get you through the hard days. Athletes have busy lives, so mixing some social time with your training time is an effective formula for staying motivated and having fun. Find yourself a Training Partner & celebrate the PBs!

He began teaching Weightlifting to Strength and Conditioning athletes when he moved to the Gold Coast from Brisbane in mid 2011.

Callum grew up in Cape Town South Africa, playing Rugby in winter, cricket and water polo in summer and surfing all year round. After moving to Australia in 2004 he started Muay Thai and fought for 5 years, winning a QLD and Australian title along the way.
Retiring from fighting led him to CrossFit and Callum says: "After getting humiliated by a Snatch workout, I was introduced to Linzey Beister and that's when I caught the Weightlifting bug."
Since then Callum's Weightlifting journey has been taking him into the realm of Coaching, which has become his passion. He Interned at the Club for 12 months, shadowing Linzey and completing the official GCWC Intern Program. He has been in an official Coaching role since the end of 2013.
Callum is an understanding and patient Coach. He is also driven for the success of every athlete he works with and also in his own development as a Coach. He is gentle natured, a lot of fun and will always give you something to smile about.

"Its an honour and a privilege to train at GCWC! Thanks Linzey for your patience,
never ending wisdom and awesome Coaching Cues."

"I've been lifting for a long time and I have to say GCWC is fantastic! The vibe and support of the
Members give each other is brilliant! This Club will go a long way."
"What a great way to finish off my second term of programming at GCWC. Got a 60kg Jerk PB
followed by an amazing Goal setting session and motivational talk! I can't wait to smash it
even harder next term. Time to squat my ass ON!"

following the programming I squatted 100kg for a triple! Thanks Linz and GCWC."
"I can tick all of last years Goals off my list thanks to Coach Linz, Coach Cal, gym boss Tani, my training partner Romi and a wonderful, supportive team of GCWC Members. I am so happy to be a Member of this professional Club in which the Farm Cats are just as important as the Panthers"

Awesome place to train!"
"Thank you Linzey for being such an exemplary Coach not only for me but all the
other athletes you manage at GCWC. Thank you!"

"I achieved season's best Hammer Throw today at the Australian Masters Champs.
Weightlifting training at GCWC is doing the trick, I reckon!"

Whatever your skill level or time into your athletic journey, you will be made to feel welcome."
"With perseverance, hard work and the wonderful Members at GCWC, I made great improvements over the last year of training. My proudest achievement of the year is a 27kg increase on my Snatch. I am now much stronger and better positioned. Special thanks to Linzey – without your coaching and mentoring, my recovery from injuries, progress and overall knowledge would not be what it is today. See you on the platform!"
"Great support, coaching, programming, people, camaraderie & facilities.

Sharn started lifting mid way through year 12 in 2014.
My HPE teacher in school started doing CrossFit. He started doing it as a sport every Wednesday at school, I have it a go, loved the Weightlifting side to it and hated the cardio. Decided to search around for clubs and found Gold Coast weightlifting. Started going two times a week for about 4 months then picked it back up again March 2015 where I then decided to train weightlifting full time.
Being strong, being part of a great club, impressing people. The onesies
I would like to achieve an A grade total and just have my body feeling better than ever
Protein supplements, creatine, compression shorts and shirts, lifting straps, Nike Romaleos
The group of people I see everyday and the awesome coach, just an all around great atmosphere all the time.

Jen made the move across from CrossFit to full time Weightlifting in May 2014.
Tell us the story of how you became a Weightlifter.
In a round about way… I moved to the coast to become a Weightlifter. The opportunity came up for me to move from Toowoomba to anywhere I wanted to in Queensland. I had done a few drop in sessions with Linzey over the years, knew that GCWC had an incredible culture & the draw to Burleigh and the beach was strong… so I moved. The plan was to do six months at GCWC and then find a new CrossFit box and chase the dream of regionals with the benefit of some pretty awesome lifting capabilities. That was almost two years ago. My love of weightlifting has grown even stronger. I might go back to Crossfit at some stage… but at the moment I'm balancing a full time weightlifting training load & full time surfboat rowing load which ticks all the boxes for me.
I love the challenge. I love what it teaches you – focus, mindfulness, patience. Lifting well is hard. Nothing comes easy. I love that some days you own the bar… other days it owns you but I love that hard work will equal results over time. I love how that filters into everything else in my life.
I also just simply love being able to pick up really heavy shit & throw it above my head. You can't beat that feeling!
This year is all about Nationals for me. I narrowly missed out on it in 2015 so am incredibly happy to have already qualified for it this year. I've now got numbers that I'd like to hit at Nationals. I'm also very mindful of looking after myself & respecting the need to be a 360 degree athlete – balancing training with rest, recovery, proper nutrition and mindset. I can't wait to share that journey with my fellow HPP team mates, GCWC members & perhaps empower a few people to grab a barbell, drop their fear and chase their own dreams.
I hate to say it… but my phone – for lots of reasons.
It's my alarm to tell me to get out of bed and get to training. It's my instant feedback and analysis tool when I record & watch back my lifts. It times my rest periods. It keeps me connected to like minded athletes across the world through social media and I use it to watch RomWod to do my stretching after training… just to name a few things. You won't often find it far away from me.
And coffee #longblackforthewin
It's the culture. It's the team environment in an individual sport. It's the coaching approach that builds better humans, not just better athletes. It's unique & awesome!
I'm super fortunate to have been able to recently take the step away from the 9-5 to build my own business as a Personal Trainer and nutrition coach. I'm based out of Uber Shape in Burleigh which is super convenient for fitting everything in. I'm also interning as a Weightlifting coach at GCWC and hope to be able to contribute to the development of the sport (particularly for young women) in the coming years.
Sport wise… I also row surfboats competitively & at the moment it's all roads to Aussies. Fortunately, my boyfriend Simon does too as our lives are often at times eat, sleep, train, work, repeat. It's awesome. I find there is a whole lot of crossover between "work" and life for me – which I feel is a true indication that I'm doing exactly what I should be.
Oh so many people… I'm a bit of an insta-addict. I tend to follow a bunch of really kick arse women… @mattiecakesssss, @christmasabbott and @brookeence to name a few. @hookgrip for weightlifting inspo and @teamnavyasrl for surfboats. Heaps of CrossFit athletes, Weightlifters and rowers both big time competitors & those just doing their thing locally. It's funny how many people I've connected with through Instagram over the years or how many times I've been recognised by my Insta-name… it's a pretty powerful tool for connecting like minded individuals and it's super cool when I get to then meet them in real life.
Brandon began lifting in August 2015.
I need to give credit where it's due, it wasn't my idea to start weightlifting. It was actually one of my friends from my past gym (*cough, cough, Sharne). She was already planning on trying out weightlifting at GCWC, where she brought up the idea to me one day while training. This 'may' have led me to stealing the idea and going down solo to a Monday night 101 session with Linzey, only a day or two after being introduced to the idea. Then from there I was bitten by the weightlifting bug, and never turned back.
I love that weightlifting isn't just a challenge in a physical sense but it is also mentally challenging. The mental strength that weightlifters need go under a weight that they may have failed over and over again creates a is certain strength that I think weightlifters pride themselves on.
To be able to compete at both state and national level competitions are great achievements that I plan to take part in, although ultimately I envision making international qualifying standards, to then be in line to compete at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Easy… bar straps, chalk and caffeine. Without those three I'd be a damsel in distress at the gym.
That would definitely be the encouraging and positive atmosphere at the club. Although weightlifting is an individual sport, your never alone, especially in a club like GCWC, where all members share a genuine interest in improving and growing as a team.
I'm currently a full time student, where I am in my last year of a bachelors degree in business, majoring in marketing at Griffith University. On the side I work as a casual employee at both the Ivory Tavern and at a Cellarbrations liquor store.
I wouldn't say I've got a lot of time outside everything, but recently I've become a bit of a TV series binge watcher. I'm currently into watching Suits (thanks to Linzey and Sharn), where I've pretty much developed a fully fledged Harvey Specter man crush. For lifters who haven't seen it, I've heard that it adds 10kg to your total just by watching it…
I'm a huge fan of Luis Mosquera (luisjavierhd16), where there may be a little insta-stalking going on. If you show me a video from one of his lightning fast snatches, I've probably already seen it. For people outside of Weightlifting, it would hard to choose between both Conor McGregor and The Rock.
Nick started lifting in his garage early 2013 and started at the Club in October 2013.
I was originally a high level sprint swimmer but had to retire due to illness. So I had been looking for a new sport when I came across Weightlifting while watching the 2012 London Olympics. I watch Lu Haojie and Lu Xiaojun battle it out and thought it was really exciting and impressive. Then I saw Ilya Ilyin lift and that was when I was hooked and knew it was what I wanted to do.
My favourite part would have to be the feeling you get when you hit a new maximum weight. It's the true showing that you're a better, stronger person than you were yesterday and I think that's what we all chase, to be better.
Being a part of the HPP team is truly a fantastic opportunity that I'm very grateful for. For this year I'd love to make nationals for the first time and to really solidify myself as a top ten lifter in the -94kg category.
My favourite products are ProteinPlusMore supplements, my Nike weightlifting belt and competition suits.
The best thing about the Club is without a doubt the community and the staff. You can have the best facility with the best equipment but if you don't have the people you don't have anything. Whether you're a champion athlete or just training for fitness everyone is treated equally and their achievements are celebrated. It's truly a home away from home.
Currently I'm a full time student, athlete and part-time sports teacher for Getfizi.
I love to read Weightlifting literature and study the technical side of the sport. I also enjoy movies, games and tv shows. Mostly though I love to eat, anything and everything.
My two biggest man crushes are the great Ilya Ilyin and a new up and coming lifter from Germany named Max Lang. I really enjoy Ilya because he is unshakable and delivers awe-inspiring moments that won't be forgotten. I appreciate Max Lang's lifting from a technical standpoint. The man is a surgeon with a barbell.

The countdown continues with two very different indie-rock records — one whose appeal is strongly tied to lyrics, the other more well … um … sonic.
Songwriter John Darnielle has released some 16 albums under the Mountain Goats moniker since the mid-'90s, but Tallahassee was a breakthrough — a more polished record on a more prominent label than his hard-to-find and lo-fi earlier albums. It's also a songwriting tour de force, a concept album about a couple that makes a cross-country move only to watch their relationship disintegrate. It's set in the titular town, where plums grow heavy with nectar in the front yard, but in this paradise their love passes out on the couch and their house — no longer a home — drips blood. Tallahassee's mid-album peak, "No Children," is so intensely dark it's also intentionally comical. But the wordplay is dazzling throughout. Samples: "I am not going to lose you/We are going to stay married/In this house like a Louisiana graveyard/Where nothing stays buried." "Our love is like the border between Greece and Albania/Trucks loaded down with weapons/Crossing over every night/Moon yellow and bright."
Song Sample: "No Children"
An illustrator, painter, and musician (via his band The Warble), Harrison is featured on the latest installment of ArtsMemphisTV. Check it out here.
The countdown (which started here) continues with the first indie-rock entry and an unintentional "Lil" theme on the singles list:
From my 2007 year-end piece:
I never fully connected with the drama on Arcade Fire's beloved-in-some-quarters 2004 debut, Funeral, but on Neon Bible this Canadian band of ex-pat Americans take their previously private agonies and anxieties public by naming what they fear: "holy war," inherited debt, salesmen at the door, a rising tide that could drown us all. Musically, this sweeping, mournful lament is more stirring than engaging, in a manner that I've rejected in other bands. But this music is more intimate, more ragged, more organic. I think the range of voices — male and female — helps considerably. I've also decided that, rather than an indie-rock U2, they're more a middle-class Mekons. Clincher: "The Well and the Lighthouse," a subtle parable about cultural (read: indie-rock) isolation in which the band chooses the lighthouse and the responsibility that comes with it.
Song sample: "Windowsill"
Hairy, hard-rockin' Israeli trio Monotonix are a couple of days late for Gonerfest, but this loud band with a reputation for chaotic live shows would have fit right in. After being purportedly banned from half the clubs in their native Tel Aviv, Monotonix have been taking their provocative, head-banging show (think AC/DC meets G.G. Allin, or something like that) across the U.S., releasing a strong American debut, Body Language, on the Chicago indie label Drag City.
Monotonix plays the Hi-Tone Cafe tonight, headlining a bill that also includes local metal band Evil Army and Turbo Fruits, a spinoff of sorts from defunct Nashville punks Be Your Own Pet. Showtime is 10 p.m. Admission is $10.
Here's a taste of Monotonix, at a show in Dallas earlier this year:
Among the five candidates open to public voting, Lebowski won big, garnering 38% percent of the vote. The runners-up were Shaun of the Dead (22%), Dazed and Confused (17%), and Monty Python & the Holy Grail (17%). Caddyshack trailed behind with only 6% of the vote.
The Big Lebowski will screen at roughly 10 p.m., after the music docs. Admission is free. In the event of inclement weather, the screening will be rescheduled for the following Friday, October 16th. See IndieMemphis.com for more info.
The current decade — the "aughts" seems to be the closest we have to a consensus on this — is coming to a close, which is, of course, a great excuse for rampant list-making. I'm starting here with my own Top 50 albums and singles of the decade, counted down over the next month. End-of-decade material on film and local music will follow.
The bulk of the music on this list comes from three general areas — guitar rock of most types and any level of popularity, hip hop both mainstream and indie/underground, and country both Nashville and alt. For me this is where most of the action has been, with strong contributions from three other general areas — R&B/soul, African music, and chart pop. (I lack a better term for what is typically dred '90s teen pop all grown up.)
There are a few more song-oriented examples of the disparate dance musics I'm ill-informed/gauche enough to still collectively call "techno," but generally I don't know as much about this stuff as I'd like to. If I'd expanded the list out to 100 (and believe me, I was tempted) there may have been token blues (Corey Harris) and jazz (James Carter) entries, but the former has sadly not produced many records that break out (or even deserve to break out) of its niche and the latter is more tangential to the music I care about. There is, I believe, one non-English-language/non-African record on the list. If I had more access and more time it would not be so lonely. As for other genres, I've never been able to drum up much interest in dancehall and I'm lost with metal that has any degree of purity. Anything else is pretty much off my radar.
Finally, where this list will veer from critical consensus the most will be on the presence of mainstream country (which critics don't take seriously enough) and African music (a personal interest most of my demographic ilk don't share) and the relative lack of the tasteful indie rock that outlets like Pitchfork Media and NPR have helped turn into cultural status items for educated, liberal white people. The way I heard the past decade, semi-obscure songwriters like Amy Rigby, Todd Snider, and Bobby Pinson had a lot more to say about the world than Beck, Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, or Radiohead's Thom Yorke.
Those caveats out of the way, here we go. I'll be counting down albums and singles in pairs at the rate of a new post every day or two (25 total) throughout the next month:
I had every intention of creating a completely hilarious blog post juxtaposing scenes from Clanjamfry, a Scottish festival and Gonerfest. But I got caught up in the spirit of things and the only surviving footage is of some guy dancing with a broom:
Gonerfest 6, the annual garage/punk festival put on by the Cooper-Young-based record store/label continues today, first with a day party at the Buccaneer starting at 2 p.m., then with another full slate of bands at the Hi-Tone Cafe tonight starting at 8 p.m.
You can read our Gonerfest 6 preview here. You can check out the full schedule here. And I've got a handful of record reviews of Gonerfest-connected bands here.
The headliner tonight is the return of '90s-era Memphis band the Compulsive Gamblers, featuring Greg Cartwright (Oblivians, Reigning Sound) and Jack Yarber (Oblivians, Tearjerkers). They'll take the Hi-Tone stage at 1 a.m.
But here's a taste of a couple of the more intriguing out-of-town acts scheduled for today:
First, the Shitty Beach Boys, the Austin cover band set to open the day party at 2:45. Here they are going through the motions of "Surfin' USA":
To celebrate, I believe a list is called for. Top 40 U2 songs. Go:
Gonerfest 6, the annual garage/punk festival put on by the Cooper-Young-based record store/label kicks off today, first with "opening ceremonies" at the Goner store at 5:30 p.m., then with a full slate of bands at the Hi-Tone Cafe tonight starting at 8 p.m.
You can read our Gonerfest 6 preview here. You can check out the full schedule here. And I've got a handful of record reviews of Gonerfest-connected bands here.
The Reatards headline tonight, with rising star Jay Reatard in the original lineup of his infamous teen band. But there are also a couple of the strong contingent of Bay Area bands on the bill. Here's a taste:
The Fresh and Onlys open tonight's Hi-Tone bill at 9 p.m. Here they are in a semi-controlled environment:
So saith Variety: "Jesse Eisenberg will play Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg; Justin Timberlake will play Sean Parker, the Napster co-founder who became Facebook's founding president; and Andrew Garfield will play Eduardo Saverin, the Facebook co-founder who fell out with Zuckerberg over money."
No word yet on who will be playing my current Facebook status: "Writing on Sing All Kinds about the David Fincher/Justin Timberlake Facebook movie."
With Gonerfest kicking off tomorrow, this seemed like the perfect time to check in on the garage-rock world with four fest-connected releases, two on In the Red and two on Goner itself:
"Hole in My Head":
Mayor Pro Tem Myron Lowery has taken quite a razzing for his fist bump of the Dalai Lama. And he probably deserves some of it. But nobody seems to have noticed that the Dalai Lama, after discussing the need to replace fear and violent activity with affection, ended his address by giving Mayor Lowery a fist bump of his own. His Holiness used the classic dap as an example of how a violent action can become an act of affection. It was really kind of beautiful.
"Hello Dalai" may not be the most dignified way to greet a great spiritual leader but the fist bump turned out to be a real winner. Here's the complete unedited video.
As we announced earlier today, the Indie Memphis Film Festival is having a public vote to determine which comedy film will screen outdoors at the Levitt Shell at 10 p.m., Friday, October 9th, following a screening of Elvis Presley's "'68 Comeback" television special. You can vote here.
In order to help in your decision, here are some choice samples from the candidates:
The Big Lebowski — The Dude speaks words of great righteousness:
After more than a decade, free outdoor movies are coming back to the Levitt Shell on Friday, October 9 as part of the 12th annual Indie Memphis Film Festival -- featuring a 20-foot wide screen and sound pumped through the Shell's amazing sound system!

I'd be curious to know if anyone has used Sendgrid as their SMTP relay for Spiceworks. Currently we're relaying all Spiceworks emails through our local Exchange server but we have been considering migration of our systems to GA for Business which leaves us having to seek out remedies to deliver ability of all of our system generated emails like Spiceworks, Crystal Reports scheduler, SQL alerts, Symantec alerts, etc.

Natural Craft Soap House Opens in Grandview Heights
Posted by : Phil Metzler /
Glenn Avenue Soap Company brings real, honest skincare to Central Ohio
Grandview Heights, Ohio – We're open! Glenn Avenue Soap Company, founded in 2009 by local Grandview couple Sandra and Phil Metzler, celebrates the grand opening of its retail store with a Pre-Valentine's Day OPEN HOUSE on Sunday, February 7th, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The craft soap house, a first for Central Ohio, offers a full line of natural soaps and skincare products, including foaming hand soap, bar soap, beer soap, lotion, face care and more. Everything is handmade on-site, using traditional craft methods, simple ingredients and pure essential oils.
"We are proud of the entrepreneurial spirit Phil and Sandra bring to the Grandview business community," says Michelle Wilson, Executive Director of the Grandview Area Chamber of Commerce. "Starting from a soap lab built in their living room, it is exciting to see Glenn Avenue Soap open their own retail space where customers can see products being made and talk with the soapmakers."
Dr. Sandra Metzler, Owner and a professor at OSU with degrees in mechanical and biomedical engineering, began developing skincare recipes grounded in her technical expertise. "We started making these products because our family needed healthy, safe and effective skincare," Sandra explains. "Then we realized our neighbors needed them. We started a company because we realized the world needs them." Glenn Avenue products are all made from plant-based and organic ingredients—with none of the unnecessary, toxic or artificial chemicals or fragrances found in most commercial products.
Glenn Avenue prides itself on collaborating with other members of the local business community. Collaborations with craft breweries Seventh Son, Zauber, Actual and others has led to a popular line of Cap City Suds beer soaps . The company's signature foaming hand soaps can be found in leading bars, restaurants and venues in Columbus, including the Gateway Film Center, Wolf's Ridge Brewing and the brand new Salt & Pine and Sweet Carrot. "Customers and employees love the foaming hand soap!" says Lauren Szuter, Co-Owner of Wolf's Ridge Brewing. "We often see guests return to their tables urging their friends to smell their hands (even the men!). Glenn Avenue soaps are a simple, cost-effective way to please customers in an unexpected way, they fit perfectly with our focus on craft and local sourcing, and we love their commitment to natural and organic ingredients."
Glenn Avenue products can be ordered online through its own website and on Etsy, a popular web-based marketplace. The company sells locally through Whole Foods Markets, other retailers and at local markets and festivals. "Opening our own retail store allows us to connect personally with customers and educate them about real soap and the benefits of essential oils." says Phil Metzler, Owner and soap maker. "And, it gives us space to expand our product line, which will grow to include bath bombs, scrubs, massage oils, essential oils and more."
The new retail space at 1166 W 5th Ave. (across the parking lot from St. Luke's United Methodist Church and in the back of the Brickhouse Cardio Club building) will be celebrated on February 7th with a public OPEN HOUSE, featuring product samplings, exclusive Valentine's Day gifts, tours of the soap lab, raffles and prize drawings and a few surprises. More information about the grand opening is available at www.glennavesoap.com.
Dr. Sandra Metzler started Glenn Avenue Soap Company in 2009 with the inspiration to produce gentle and effective soaps that were good for her family and the environment, and without the potential negative health effects of harmful ingredients found in detergent-based products marketed as "soap". Today, the company uses traditional craft methods to produce a broad range of healthy soaps and skincare products made from simple, honest ingredients and pure essential oils. The company's unique foaming hand soaps are loved by consumers, restaurants and businesses that enjoy their vibrant fragrance, silky lather and the way they leave hands soft and smooth. The company has opened Central Ohio's first craft soaphouse, where customers can sample products, meet the soap makers and see how products are made.

Seeing as you're reading this right now, you can personally attest to the fact that brevity is not, nor has it ever been, my forté. This reason, more than anything, has always stopped me from signing up for Twitter. I'll admit, I hated Twitter when it first cropped up, but most of my initial annoyances with it seem to have faded away. I still thought it was not for me: it takes me roughly 7 times longer to express something simply than to ramble on about it. And my overly wordy style, even when technically fewer than 140 characters, is probably not really suited to the medium. Plus, I already spend my Friday afternoons worrying about boring all of you!
But all that ends today. Today I capitulated in the battle with myself (better luck next time, me) and signed up. There are things I quite like about Twitter. It's a nice way to keep connected with clients and publishing colleagues—especially those I only see at events and conferences. Some celebrities I enjoy are on there, being amusing or informative. And I'm a big fan of the clever hashtag (perhaps Twitter's greatest contribution to discourse). It's also a potentially valuable promotional resource, with a bit of luck, and I might as well know the ins and outs of it if I'm going to discuss it with clients. I've been quietly stalking Twitter for some time now (following Twitter accounts via Google Reader), but today I decided it was probably best to actually engage with it. Now I just need to make a pact with myself to only allow 3 attempts to phrase a thought in the requisite characters or concede it wasn't worth sharing in the first place.
So Twitter fans, please feel free to come follow me @LaurenAbramo.
Of course, that means I now have to figure out whom to follow, so would you please offer recommendations below? Authors, publishing folk, and excellent tweeters of all stripes welcomed.

Just what the Doctor ordered
Matt Smith, a relativley unknown actor, has so far proved himself more than adequate as the 11th Doctor. He brings his own unique take on the role whilst maintaining the eccentricity, and intellectual sharpness of the character, which has made the Doctor such an endearing and popular figure. There is something quintesenntially british about The Doctor, his manners, wit and inventiveness, civility and refusal to use violence and the omnipresent guns so common in much of todays TV.
There is nothing else quite like it, and long may it continue.
Wow, Wow, Wow
This new Doctor looks set to be one of the best ones yet and so does the new series, with a new writer, new Doctor and brand new companion the new series is refreshed and ready to go. The acting is amazing and so is the storyline, hopefully this will continue :) Also, the new Doctor looks amazing, loving the hair :)
A promising start for a less motormouthed Doctor
The hype of Who keeps building, and inevitably, there will be episodes that match it, and episodes that don't. It's probably wise to compare The Eleventh Hour not with the high-spots of the Eccleston and Tennant years, but with 'first stories' of each of the Doctors. On that scale it scores pretty highly - although it probably only sits comfortably alongside the first stories of the first four Doctors, in its cohesion, pace, writing and characterisation, it beats the pants off Castrovalva, The Twin Dilemma, Time and The Rani, the TV Movie starring Paul McGann and, perhaps controversially, Rose - meaning with the exception of Tennant's opening foray in the role, it's a better first episode than we've had since the mid-70s.
Steven Moffat is of course the dream writer to take over from fellow fanboy Russell T Davies in the big chair, and if the new Doctor has yet to blow the doors off the place and convince the world that he was the only real choice for the role, then at least he turns in a credibly barmy, interestingly layered post-regenerative performance. The ostensible villain, Prisoner Zero, is a good-enough piece of creepy CGI, and the the idea of seeing it 'from the corner of your eye' is classic Moffat, aiming to get the kids squinting sideways in the playground in the week after transmission. It also has a nice line in scares when it copies human beings - the thing with the voice is rewardingly bizarre - but at no point does it ever seem like a particular threat, because at no point is there a line slipped in explaining what it actually DID to get imprisoned in the first place - unless the big-bully Atraxi will imprison you for looking like the unfortunate offspring of an adder and an umbilical cord...
Special mention should be made of Karen Gillan's star-making turn as Amy Pond - the word 'feisty' is over-used of companions these days, but she can evidently pitch her archness just right, making even 'It's a duckpond' both funny and spirited. Her character and portrayal promise great things for future episodes.
The episode's by no means perfect of course - the way in which the Doctor eventually scares off the Atraxi is not only fairly lame but also a direct recycle from Moffat's own Forest of the Dead episode. That's a shame, because it was the worst thing in the former episode, and does equally poor service here. The idea that aliens can be dispatched simply by fear of the Doctor rather lessens the necessity for him actually being there, and is already in danger of becoming as tired as the Deus ex machina solutions frequently McGuffined into existence by RTD.
What's more the Doctor's moment of 'becoming' the Doctor once he was costumed and ready to face the Atraxi feels like a direct, but watered-down, version of David Tennant's first twenty minutes, once he woke up properly from his regeneration. But whereas Tennant then went on to fight a duel for the sake of the planet, it's difficult to see how Smith's 'Basically...run' measures up into the same kind of triumphant rite of passage, and we're left feeling that this new Doctor hasn't really earned the right to claim the Earth 'is protected' by him, as Tennant's unquestionably did in his first outing as the Timelord.
Add to that a Tardis that is unquestionably pretty but perhaps a little gimmick-rich, with its typewriter and bell, and a title sequence that is visually underwhelming and appears to change or overwrite some of the key audio hooks of the most famous sci-fi theme tune in history, and we're left wondering if The Eleventh Hour isn't a job that has been only almost completely done.
But all of this revolves around the very first episode. Moffat's both an extraordinary writer and a huge Who fan. Personally I had more misgivings after Rose was broadcast than I do after The Eleventh Hour, and I've learned since then to have a little faith in people who love the show so much they work appallingly hard to bring it to people. If you can get past the dishwater-version of the theme, I think this series is going to evolve in some fascinating and rewardingly exciting ways. Hold tight everybody - Geronimo!

Prime Minister Under Pressure To Launch National iInquiry Into Child Sex AbuseApr 17, 2002 | AP
Prime Minister John Howard was under increasing pressure Wednesday to launch a national inquiry into child sex abuse following a series of scandals involving the Anglican Church.
A string of sex abuse cases involving clergy and teachers at Anglican schools almost sparked a constitutional crisis two months ago when it embroiled the nation's de facto head of state Governor-General Peter Hollingworth — a man hand-picked by Howard for the job.
A number of victims claimed Hollingworth tried to cover up child sex abuse allegations when he was Anglican Archbishop of Brisbane in the 1990s. As governor-general, Hollingworth represents Australia's head of state, Queen Elizabeth II of Britain.
Conceding "errors of judgment," Hollingworth apologized publicly and personally to some of the victims. Backed by Howard, he survived a torrid two months during which the federal opposition, state government premiers and a broad range of community leaders demanded his resignation, claiming the scandal had undermined the governor-general's moral authority.
As the revelations unfolded in February, Phillip Aspinall, the current Anglican Archbishop of Brisbane, capital of Queensland state, vowed to set up a church inquiry, but this week said a national independent judicial inquiry, known as a Royal Commission, was also needed.
On Wednesday, Queensland state government premier, Peter Beattie, added his voice to those calls arguing that "pedophiles don't respect state borders."
"Let's look at what happened here in the Anglican church, but let's look at what happened in all areas," Beattie said.
Howard said he would consider Aspinall's request, but had reservations, arguing governments should not set up a Royal Commission for every problem in the community.
"If there is a group in the community that feels it has something to investigate regarding child abuse in its own ranks, then it should do so itself," he said.

text: On Tuesday, Little Dorrit had her first real bath where we could put more of an inch of water in the tub and she loved it! Because she wasn't used to having so much water in the tub, she kept slipping and sliding all over the place. Another thing she kept doing was using the red cup in her hand to pour water all over her belly. It was so neat to see her just enjoying such a simple thing - she's never really felt water over that part of her chest/stomach before so I imagine it was a new and different sensation for her. One of her favorite things to do is color and for Christmas, she got some bathtub crayons that we've been waiting to break out until this very moment. The bathtub crayons were a hit and I think her only complaint would be that bathtime wasn't long enough!

The disgraced ex-NSW ports minister Joe Tripodi backed Nathan Tinkler's controversial coal loading terminal to set himself up after politics, the woman described as his "eyes and ears" has told a corruption inquiry.
Tripodi backed Tinkler's plan for the terminal in the Newcastle suburb of Mayfield despite objections from then local MP Jodi McKay and experts.
Ann Wills, who has been described as Tripodi's eyes and ears in the Hunter region, was asked on Friday by counsel assisting the Icac inquiry, Geoffrey Watson, SC, why the ex-Labor minister backed the coal terminal.
"I think he was doing it because he was looking for something post politics," she said.
"An opportunity, I don't know."
The Icac has heard McKay became the victim of a concerted campaign to unseat her, funded in part by Tinkler and part organised by her former colleague Tripodi.
Wills told the inquiry that part of her responsibilities in 2011 was running a campaign called Stop Jodi's Trucks, which claimed that thousands of trucks would invade Newcastle streets if Mackay's preferred project for the Mayfield site, a container terminal, went ahead.
"I think it was pretty obvious that they didn't love each other," Wills said.
McKay said she was "shocked, appalled and saddened" about the fresh details of corruption which emerged at the inquiry over the past three weeks.
But she said she still has admiration for disgraced MP Tim Owen, who defeated her at the 2011 election.
Owen resigned from state parliament last week along with Charlestown MP Andrew Cornwell after they both admitted to taking money from property developers in breach of NSW electoral laws.
"I was shocked, appalled and saddened by the recent revelations," McKay said outside the inquiry
"I never knew it was going on to this extent."
But she said she still held some regard for Owen and emailed him after his first appearance at Icac three weeks ago.
But she said the 2011 election was unfair.
During her testimony, McKay clashed several times with Tinkler's lawyer, Harland Koops, when he pressed her about whether she had asked Tinkler for money in 2011 because her political fortunes were fading.
"I don't sell myself, Koops," she said. "I never have and I never will.
"I also don't pander to influential, powerful people."
Earlier, McKay told the commission she had not spoken to former NSW treasurer Eric Roozendaal since they had an argument over his support for the coal terminal.
Roozendaal has been observing the Icac inquiry from the back of the room for the past few days.
Outside the hearings, McKay said she was glad she didn't have to sit next to him during the inquiry.
The Icac is expected to ramp up next week with return appearances by Tinkler, Wills and Tripodi.
Roozendaal and former premier Kristina Keneally are also expected to appear.

Drowning deaths in Sweden with emphasis on the presence of alcohol and drugs – a retrospective study, 1992–2009
Health behavior, health promotion and society
Drowning deaths constitute a significant proportion of unnatural deaths globally. In Sweden and other high-income countries, drowning deaths have decreased. This study investigates the epidemiology and current trends of unintentional, intentional, and undetermined drowning deaths with emphasis on the presence of alcohol and other drugs.
During an 18-years period, 5,125 drowning deaths were autopsied in Sweden. Data on cases including toxicological analysis on alcohol, pharmaceutical drugs, and illicit drugs were obtained from the National Board of Forensic Medicine.
During the study period, the annual incidence of drowning deaths in Sweden was 3.1/100,000 inhabitants and decreased on average by about 2% each year (p<0.001). The highest incidence was found among males and in middle/older age groups. The incidence increased 3% for each year of age. Children/adolescents (≤18 years) constituted 5% of all drowning deaths. Of all drowned females in the study, 55% (847/1,547) committed suicide, which was a significantly higher proportion compared with males (21%, 763/3,578) (p<0.001). In total, 38% (1,656/4,377) of tested drowned persons had alcohol in their blood and the mean concentration was 1.8 g/l. In the unintentional drowning group, intentional drowning group, and the undetermined group, the proportion of alcohol positive was 44%, 24%, and 45%, respectively. One or several psychoactive drugs were present in the blood in 40% (1,688 /4,181) of all tested persons and in 69% (965/1,394) of tested persons who died from suicidal drowning. The most common drug was benzodiazepines (21%, 891/4,181). Illicit drugs were detected in 10% (82/854) of tested persons.
Presence of alcohol and drugs were frequent and may have contributed to the drowning deaths. The incidence of drowning deaths significantly decreased during the study period. Males and the middle/older age groups had a higher incidence compared to females and children. Suicidal drowning was common especially among women. Alcohol and drugs are significant contributors in drowning deaths in Sweden and should be considered as part of a comprehensive prevention program.
Drowning is the third most frequent cause of unnatural deaths in the world. In 2004, 388,000 persons died of drowning
A population-based study from Finland (1970–2000) revealed that the WHO statistics underestimated the real number of drowning deaths by 40-50%
Drowning deaths still constitutes a significant proportion of unnatural deaths in Sweden as well as in other high-income countries. Although there has been a decrease in the number of drowning deaths (especially among children), it is unclear whether the incidence is still high in some groups. In Sweden (9.5 million inhabitants), drowning deaths account for 6% of all unnatural deaths
Drowning deaths can occur during various water activities such as swimming, bathing, boating, and in incidents with motor vehicles
This study includes persons who died of drowning in Sweden from 1 January 1992 through 31 December 2009 (n = 5,125). Information on these cases with the ICD-9 code 994.1
This database includes information on age, sex, circumstances, cause of death, and manner of death (unintentional, intentional, or undetermined). Out of 5,125 cases, 169 individuals who drowned were not permanent residents in Sweden, so they were not included when calculating the incidence of drowning per 100,000 inhabitants in Sweden. In addition, in seven unidentified cases the age of the deceased was missing.
Data on alcohol and other toxicological substances were obtained from Forensic Toxicology, National Board of Forensic Medicine, in Linköping, Sweden. Analyses of alcohol, pharmaceutical drugs, and illicit drugs in femoral vein blood were performed using headspace gas chromatography
The pharmaceuticals were grouped according to the WHO's Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification System
Permission to use the autopsy and toxicological data for this study was obtained from the National Board of Forensic Medicine.
Statistical methods
Annual incidence of drowning deaths for different age groups, males, and females were calculated and presented as cases per 100,000 of mean population. A Poisson regression model was used to analyse time trend, age effects, and differences between males and females. Results from the Poisson regression model were given as incidence rate ratios (IRR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Comparison of differences between the groups unintentional and intentional drowning with respect to alcohol use and sex was done using the Chi-square test performed in Epi Info 3.4. SPSS 19 was used for other statistical calculations.
During the 18-year study period, 5,125 individuals drowned and were autopsied and the mean incidence was 3.1/100,000 inhabitants. This incidence decreased by about 2% each year (CI 0.98-0.99, p<0.001): males from 5.6 to 3.1 and females from 2.8 to 1.3/100,000 inhabitants. The decrease varied from 1-3% in the different age groups. Forensic Medicine in Sweden is divided in six catchment areas, each served by a regional Department of Forensic Medicine. The average annual incidence of drowning deaths varied between 2.9-3.9/100,000 inhabitants with the highest rate in the northern district (Umeå) (Table
There was a male predominance in all age groups (IRR 2.5 compared to females, CI 2.4-2.7, p<0.001). Of the 5,125 drowning deaths, 3,578 (70%) were male with a mean age of 53 years (range 0–101 years, SD 20). The mean age of the females was 58 years (range 0–96 years, SD 20). Of all drowning deaths, 5% (n=248) were ≤ 18 years old. For both sexes, the incidences increased with age (Figure

Unintentional drowning
Unintentional drowning caused 2,585 (50%) deaths – 2,180 (84%) were males and 405 (16%) females. The mean age for males was 54 years (range 1–101, SD 22), and the mean age for females was 56 years (range 0–93, SD 26). The highest numbers of drowning deaths were in age groups 50–59 and 60–69 years (17% and 18%, respectively). Most unintentional drowning occurred in lakes, sea, streams or rivers, or bathtubs (Table
Unintentional drowning deaths were associated with bathing and other unspecified water activities (1807, 70%), boating incidents (521, 20%), cars driving into water (82, 3%), snowmobiles (78, 3%), diving (51, 2%), and airplanes, helicopters, and other vehicles (46, 2%).
Intentional drowning
During the study period, there were 1,610/5,125 (31%) suicides by drowning (47% males and 53% females); the mean age for males was 59 years (range 16–97 year, SD 18) and 61 years for females (range 14–96 year, SD 18). Of all female drowning deaths, 55% (847/1,547) committed suicide, which was significantly higher compared to males (21%, 763/3,578, p<0.001). For both sexes, the highest incidence of suicidal drowning was found in age groups 50–59 and 60–69 years (in females 1.7 and 2.0/100,000, respectively, and in males 1.3 and 1.4/100,000, respectively). During the study period, the incidence of all suicidal drowning deaths decreased for females from 1.6 to 0.7 and for males from 1.2 to 0.8 per 100,000 inhabitants. Most suicidal drowning deaths were found in water outdoors (Table
There were 21 identified homicides – twelve (57%) males and nine (43%) females. The median age for males was 27 years (range 1–81, SD 22) and for females, 16 years (0–87, SD 30). Seven children/adolescents (0–16 years) were murdered. For all homicides, the bathtub (29%) and the sea (24%) were the most prevalent sites (Table
Undetermined drowning
In 909/5,125 cases (18%), intent was unable to establish. This group mainly consisted of males (623, 68%). The mean age for males was 53 years (range 0–93, SD 19) and the mean age for females was 59 years (range 0–93, SD 20). Incidence increased with age for both males and females (Figure
In total, 4,377 out of 4,812 (91%) individuals were tested for alcohol and 1,656 (38%) had BAC ≥ 0.2 g/l in blood with a mean BAC of 1.8 g/l (range 0.2-5.2). The presence of alcohol was more frequent in unintentional drowning deaths compared to suicidal drowning deaths (p< 0.001) (Table
Unintentional drowning
Alcohol was found in 997/2,255 (44%) of the tested individuals in the unintentional drowning group (Table
Intentional drowning
Of those who committed suicide, 333 (24%) of 1,400 tested individuals had alcohol in their blood (Table
Undetermined drowning
In the undetermined drowning group, 319 (45%) of 703 tested individuals had alcohol in their blood (Table
Pharmaceutical and illicit drugs
In all, 4,181 out of 4,812 (87%) individuals were tested for pharmaceutical substances in their blood (Table
Combination of alcohol and drugs
The combination of alcohol and psychoactive drugs was present in 518/4,083 (13%) and was more frequent in the suicide group (223/1,358, 16%) and the undetermined group (105/671 (16%) compared with the unintentional group (176/2,034, 9%) (p< 0.001). In 47 cases (6%) of those tested for illicit drugs, a combination of alcohol, pharmaceuticals, and illicit drugs was found.
The present study of unintentional, intentional, and undetermined drowning death showed a mean incidence of 3.1/100, 000 and an average overall decrease of 2% each year. In Sweden, the average annual number of drowning deaths during the study period was half of traffic deaths
The mean incidence of unintentional drowning deaths calculated from our Swedish death data was 1.6/100,000 inhabitants. In other Nordic countries, the corresponding figures range from 1.4/100,000 in Denmark to 6.1/100,000 inhabitants in Finland
Differences in incidence of drowning in various countries could be due to differences in demography, geography (e.g., presence of coast, lakes, and other water sources), the implementation of preventive measures (e.g., swimming skills, use of floating devices such as a life vest, using lifeguards to monitor public beaches, and fencing around pools), and risk taking behaviour
There was a male predominance in unintentional drowning, a finding that previous studies also have noted
Drowning is a common method of suicide
Homicide due to drowning was uncommon in our study. However, in one-third of the homicides children (0-16 years of age) were the victims. The detailed circumstances could not be revealed in this study, but it has been reported that parents may kill their children by drowning them
A substantial proportion (44%) of unintentional drowning deaths tested positive for alcohol in the blood. This finding could be compared with 51% in Finland
In our study, 54% of boating fatalities were alcohol positive, a percentage that is comparable with a study from the USA
For road traffic, it is well known that alcohol impairs a person's judgment, performance, and behaviour
In the present study, alcohol was found in 24% of suicidal drowning and alcohol may also have facilitated suicide. It has been reported that alcohol lowers the threshold for suicide; the presence of alcohol was 23% for suicidal drowning death compared to 38-64% for more violent suicide methods
Pharmaceuticals and illicit drugs
Almost 25% of those who drowned had one or more pharmaceuticals in their blood. Benzodiazepines and antidepressants were most common, especially in the older age groups. Psychoactive drugs affect cognitive function, concentration, vision, coordination, and balance depending on brain concentration, individual susceptibility, and interaction with other drugs
General prevention
The findings in this study suggest that it is important to reach middle/older age groups when designing future prevention programs, a recommendation also suggested by American and Australian researchers
Strengths and limitations of the present study
To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive study of drowning in Sweden. As the autopsy rate is high in Sweden for drowning deaths, probably only a few cases were missed. All autopsied cases of drowning in Sweden were analysed, including unintentional, intentional, and undetermined drowning. This approach provides a complete data set. As this type of thoroughness is often not the case in other studies, it is difficult to compare the figures with previous studies. In our study, we have information about alcohol, pharmaceutical drugs, and illicit drugs in femoral blood, whereas many previous studies on drowning death do not provide data on drugs
Of all the drowning deaths, 18% of the cases were undetermined. According to a previous study that analysed the coding practices of injury deaths in Nordic countries, Sweden had a higher rate of undetermined cases and many of these were water related
The data on alcohol in drowning deaths should be used with caution. Post-mortem microbial activity can produce misleading alcohol levels
Because the present study was based on register data, information regarding some circumstances could not be obtained, i.e., pre-drowning activities, swimming skills, use of personal floatation devices, and rescue attempts.
In Sweden, the incidence of drowning deaths significantly decreased during the study period. The risk of drowning deaths is more frequent in males and middle/older age groups and increases with each year of age. Furthermore, drowning under the influence of alcohol is more frequent among males than females. Suicidal drowning constitutes one-third of all drowning deaths and more than half of the drowning deaths among females. Overall, alcohol, pharmaceutical drugs, and illicit drugs were common and might have initiated the incidents or influenced the outcome of the events. Therefore, preventive measures against both unintentional and intentional drowning should also target middle and older age groups, both sexes, and counteract the use of alcohol and psychoactive drugs during water activities.

CHYC-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts at FM 98.9 in Sudbury, Ontario. It broadcasts a francophone hot adult contemporary format for the city's franco-ontarian community. It is owned by Le5 Communications, and branded as Le Loup 98.9.
CHYC and its sister stations CHYK in Timmins and CHYQ in West Nipissing are the only francophone commercial stations programmed entirely in Ontario. Apart from commercials and separate morning shows, the three stations in fact simulcast the same programming at almost all times, although all three stations produce a portion of the shared broadcast schedule.
The station first aired in 1957 as AM 550 CFBR, a sister station to CHNO and a private affiliate of Radio-Canada. CHNO had previously been a bilingual station; when CFBR went to air, CHNO became full-time English. The FBR in the station's callsign stood for F. Baxter Ricard, who owned the stations with his wife Alma Ricard. The licensing of CFBR, which took over the Radio-Canada affiliation from CHNO, made Ricard the first commercial broadcaster in Canada licensed to operate two AM radio stations in the same city.[1]
In 1969, CFBR and CHNO swapped frequencies. CHNO took over the 550 AM signal, and CFBR moved to 900. CFBR remained a Radio-Canada affiliate until the launch of CBON in 1978, and adopted a pop standards format thereafter. After losing the Radio-Canada affiliation, for a time the station's remaining audience was so small that its co-ownership with CHNO, the city's dominant English radio station at the time, was the only thing keeping it afloat.
In 1985, Ricard sold CFBR, CHNO and CJMX to Mid-Canada Radio.
The station adopted its current call sign and format in 1990, after the three stations were acquired by Pelmorex Radio Network. Pelmorex sold the stations in 1998, when Telemedia acquired CJMX, and 1999, when Haliburton Broadcasting Group acquired CHYC and CHNO. Haliburton subsequently converted both stations to FM after receiving approval from the CRTC on August 31, 1999.[2] In 2000, the stations first aired on FM and discontinued their old AM signals. CHYC moved to 98.9 FM in early 2000 and simulcast on AM 900, until it left the air on March 31 of that year after the licensee resolved a technical problem relating to the implementation of the new FM transmitter.[3]
Haliburton subsequently sold CHNO to Newcap Broadcasting in 2001. Despite no longer having common ownership, CHYC and CHNO continued to operate from the same studio facility at 493 Barrydowne Road in Sudbury.
In 2008, Haliburton announced a deal to sell the CHYC stations to Le5 Communications, a firm owned by Sudbury lawyer Paul Lefebvre. This deal was approved by the CRTC on October 31, 2008.[4]
Le5 Communications rebranded the station as Le Loup 98.9 in early 2009, and moved the station to new studios at 100 Brian McKee Lane in downtown Sudbury. Musician and actor Stéphane Paquette also joined the station as an afternoon host.
In 2011, Le5 Communications filed an application to change the station's authorized signal contours by increasing the effective radiated power from 1,400 to 4,620 watts (from class A to class B1) and by increasing the effective height of the antenna above average terrain from 165.3 to 181.9 metres).[5] The CRTC approved Le5's application on September 28, 2011.[6]
The company also purchased Sudbury's existing francophone community newspaper Le Voyageur in 2011.[7]
A community group in Chapleau, Formation Plus, holds an independent license to rebroadcast the signal of CHYC-FM. This transmitter operates on 95.9 FM in Chapleau with the call sign CHAP-FM.[8]
