A Holiday Herd
I like the rustic quality and bleached Swedish style of these deer. You can choose the small, or large, or buy the set, but the deer are not expected in until October.
I love the creativity that went into making these kitschy ornaments. They'll get even cooler as the years go by and the can labels change.
Butterflies in winter add a bit of magic to the holidays.Tags: wood, decor, trees, aunt beep, Christmas, holidays, decorations, butterflies, ornamentsAdded 11 Years Ago from Pier1
The craftmaship of these ornaments are beautiful. Phil is a really talented artist. Thanks to ThisNext, I just bought these ornaments - hopefuly he'll make more for everyone else...at $12 for a set of 8 they're a steal!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/2/2013 (1660 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A "vibe" is impossible to measure, especially by an interloper in a controlled environment.
But a quick visit by a throng of media to the Winnipeg Jets dressing room Sunday afternoon revealed something palpable: This club -- which embarked on a three-game road trip a week ago positively aglow after a 3-1-1 start -- seems to have had most of the shine come off its star.
In short, it looked like a team that has lost its mojo following three straight spankings on the road. The question now is, can this squad get up off the mat and start throwing punches? Or is it going to limp back to the corner and throw in the towel?
"We've got to be better. Now it's up to us," said goaltender Ondrej Pavelec after Sunday's practice. "Nobody is going to help us. It's up to us how we handle this. We went through situations like this a couple times before so I'm pretty sure we're going to work through it again.
"I've been in this situation so many times in Atlanta or here. You have no choice. If you want to play or if you want to stay at this level, you have to put it behind you and look forward.
"It's a challenge. We know it's not always going to be great. That's hockey."
But it's also been the tale of this franchise, especially after its move north to Winnipeg. Just when everyone -- and, yes, that includes us hacks in the media -- figures this team has taken a step in its maturation, it tumbles back again.
Last season it was an incredible, franchise-record 10-3-1 run during December followed by a 4-8-1 January. That trend continues after a 3-1-1 start was followed by three straight losses on the road.
"We're looking forward... that's all you can do now," said Jets winger Blake Wheeler. "Last week wasn't what we had written up going into it, obviously. There's still a lot of hockey to play. If we're going to start mailing it in now, that's not a good sign. You find out a lot about yourself when things don't go your way. That's what we're trying to do. We're trying to bounce back and have a good week this week.
"It's not going to be all roses all year. Things aren't always going to go your way and you've just got to find it within yourself to bring a good attitude to the rink. Everyone's got to try to bring that attitude and be one of the solutions, instead of one of the problems."
The Jets, 3-4-1, play twice at home this week -- Florida on Tuesday, Toronto is here Thursday -- and five of their next six are at the MTS Centre. Head coach Claude Noel opted not to crack the whip at practice on Sunday, spending most of the time teaching and then having assistant coach Perry Pearn hammer home some reminders about their penalty-kill setup near the end of the session.
"There's a lot of negativity surrounding our situation," Noel said. "It's not like it's not due, it's deserved. I don't think anybody enjoyed watching what we've been doing.
"The best thing to do is to try and support each other when you're struggling like that. That's really a good test for your team character-wise. You just have to try and focus on moving ahead. That's something we've talked about for a couple of days. Focus forward -- that's our task right now.
"I talked about keeping a balance on things. We knew adversity would hit somewhere. The balance we showed when things were going well is the same balance we're looking for when things aren't going so well. You have to battle through these things. It's a real good challenge for you. It tests you and you have to try and find a way."

Tell Me About the Creation
Homo Erectus
Presented as "primitive man" by evolutionists, Homo Erectus is actually a lost human race. The differences between Homo Erectus and us are simply racial differences.
In the scheme of "man's evolution" devised by evolutionists, fossils classified as Homo erectus come after the Australopithecus species. (The classification, "Homo habilis", which was proposed by certain evolutionists, has been included in the Australopithecus species in recent years.)
As the word "erect" implies, "Homo erectus" means a "man walking upright". Evolutionists have had to separate these men from previous ones by adding the quality of "erectness", because all the available Homo erectus fossils are straight to an extent not observed in any of the Australopithecus or Homo habilis specimens. There is no difference between the skeleton of modern man and that of Homo erectus.
A good indication of this is the "Turkana Boy" fossil that is included in the Homo erectus class. It is confirmed that the fossil was of a 12-year-old boy, who would have been 1.83 meters tall in his adolescence. The upright skeleton structure of the fossil is no different from that of modern man, on which point American paleoanthropologist Alan Walker said that he doubted that "the average pathologist could tell the difference between the fossil skeleton and that of a modern human."52
The primary reason for evolutionists to define Homo erectus as "primitive" is the cranial capacity of its skull (900-1100 cc), which is smaller than that of the average modern man, and its thick eyebrow projections. However, there are many people living today in the world who have the same cranial capacity as Homo erectus (for instance the pygmies) and there are some other races that have protruding eyebrows (for instance the Australian Aborigines).
It is a commonly agreed fact that differences in cranial capacity do not necessarily denote differences in intelligence or abilities. Intelligence depends on the internal organisation of the brain rather than its volume.53
Even evolutionist Richard Leakey states that the differences between Homo erectus and modern man are no more than racial variance:
"One would also see differences in the shape of the skull, in the degree of protrusion of the face, the robustness of the brows and so on. These differences are probably no more pronounced than we see today between the separate geographical races of modern humans."54
In short, human beings, whom evolutionists classify as Homo erectus, are a lost human race whose level of intelligence is no different from our own. There is, on the other hand, a huge gap between Homo erectus, a human race, and the apes that preceded it in the "human evolution" scenario, (Australopithecus, or Homo habilis). This means that the first men appeared in the fossil record suddenly and right away without any evolutionary history. There can be no clearer indication of their being created.

What did you think about Minny's pie for Miss Hilly? Would you have gone as far as Minny did for revenge?

I too was trying to figure out what was in the pie, I thought it must have been Ex-lax or something similar. I never guessed what it really was! No, I'd never do that, but I thoroughly enjoyed what it turned out to be and it was THE perfect revenge for Miss Hilly.
It's always nice when an author manages to surprise you, especially when you think you've figured things out.

I wonder if Minny made up the story of the contents. Probably not, and if not, how much hatred did she have for Hilly? This reminds me of something that happened to me when I was seven: The "big" boys in the neighborhood told me to put my hand in a pile of dirt, and being the intimidated soul I was, I did it. The contents were the same as Minny's. That humiliation has been with me for all my life. I wonder how Hilly would have felt if she knew. Bet she'd have fought back!

Can you really cover up the taste with real pie ingredients? Anyway, I never thought about the possibility that Minny might have made it up. I think she didn't really put what she said she put because even if she didn't, the effect was still there: power over someone.

I just finished the book. I read as fast as I could to find out what the deal was with the pie. I can't really figure out what the "Terrible Awful" was. What was it? I feel like I missed the page(s) that detailed it. I read that she'd never tell anyone. I know Minny told Celia and Mrs. Walters knew. I want to know too.

Hi "Mothering" - even though this is a discussion forum intended for people who've read the book, I'm reluctant to specify the ingredients of the pie just in case there are people reading this who have not yet finished the book. But re-read pages 338-339 - and I think you'll find your answer.
I haven't got the book in front of me so I may have got the page numbers wrong - so if you don't find your answer there, reply back to the forum and I'll state in words of one syllable what was in the pie :)

Calc is arbitrary precision arithmetic system that uses a C-like language. It's useful as a calculator, an algorithm prototype, and as a mathematical research tool. More importantly, calc provides a machine-independent means of computation. Calc comes with a rich set of builtin mathematical and programmatic functions.
Calcium provides interactive calendars you can use through your browser. Features include: dynamic calendar merging (events from one calendar can be included in another), multiple views and formats, repeating events, email support, extensive color and font customization, support for full HTML in the event text and calendar headers and footers, popup text associated with any event, searching and filtering, multi-language support, a flexible security model, and more. Calcium is very easy to use, and fully supported by an established company. It runs anywhere that supports Perl CGIs; no non-standard Perl modules are necessary. Full 2-way synchronization with Palm Pilots or MS Outlook is available; iCalendar "subscriptions" are supported too.
This is a PHP class that generates HTML output of a calendar month. It is based on the table wrapper base class. It generates output for any month of any year of the calendar, and it returns an HTML string that is compliant with XHTML. It also lets you customize the HTML properties and data format of the calendar's table cells in a subclass.
GNU ccScript offers a class extensible threaded embedded scripting engine for use with the Common C++ GNU package. This engine is also used in Bayonne (the GNU telephony server), and in TOSI (FreeBSD and GNU/Linux PBX integration servers). This engine differs from traditional scripting systems in that it is used to script near real-time state-event systems through deterministic callback step execution rather than the linear and non-deterministic fashion of embedded script libraries such as tcl, and libguile.
A script to start VNC on a system-determined port.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/2/2014 (1272 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Neither contributed to the offence, but the Winnipeg Jets got a pretty healthy injection of experience and ability into their lineup Thursday night.
Both left-winger Evander Kane and centre Jim Slater did their part in a 3-2 shootout win over the Phoenix Coyotes at the MTS Centre.
It included Kane's return to the top two lines, skating with centre Mark Scheifele and right-winger Blake Wheeler.
"He just creates so much with his speed and his intensity," Wheeler said, asked about having Kane back on the line first the first time since Jan. 26. "He plays every shift hard. He's been out quite a bit but he wanted to shake off the rust tonight and I think he played really well.
"I think it's exciting going forward to have that kind of guy on a line. He's going to create a lot of chances for us and he's going to score some big goals for us."
Kane, who's been out a month because of an infection in his hand, originally caused by a fight, dropped his gloves midway through the game after exchanging slashes with Phoenix's Keith Yandle.
"I did (think about fighting)," Kane said, smiling. "That's why I dropped my gloves. More so instinct. It's not going to stop me from fighting or defending myself. I definitely had a Frank Ricard moment there from Old School, blacked out there for a second.
"Then came back to life and realized I had a bad hand. I don't think he wanted to fight me either so I probably got the right guy."
Jets coach Paul Maurice said he wasn't too nervous about Kane's reaction in the game.
"I don't really like to take that away from anybody," Maurice said. "Remember the Jarome Iginla fight years ago against Nashville? It turned into a three-week dialogue on whether a guy like that should fight. It was great in that game. That was a while ago. You don't want to take that energy away from anybody but you always want to make sure guys are fighting in their pay grade."
All that said, Kane said he felt pretty good in the 20 minutes 30 seconds he played.
"I was definitely a little tired out there, first game in little over a month," he said. "But I felt good, had some scoring chances.
"We were able to win the game, I think that's the most important part."
He had the game on his stick with six seconds left in regulation time, with a pass from Scheifele right in front of Phoenix goalie Mike Smith.
He redirected it just wide.
"Those kind of things, you want to put those away but sometimes you don't get that bounce," he said. "I'm happy that Seto (Devin Setoguichi) and Olli (Jokinen) came to life in the shootout there."

AN enterprise trust which has helped thousands of businesses to start up is celebrating its 30th anniversary.
Hyndburn Enterprise Trust, based at Accrington's Globe Centre, was formed in 1982, and has spent the last three decades offering expert business advice, training and support to start-up companies in the Hyndburn area.
Executive director Aileen Evans, who has been with the organisation for around 25 years, said she has seen businesses grow, and flourish, in that time.
"We provide business support to new and developing companies.
"Over the years we have helped thousands of businesses set up, and we work with existing businesses to develop and grow across all sectors.
"Typically we work with small and medium-sized companies, anything from a one-man band to those employing around 50 people.
"We offer workshops for those inquiring about starting a business to give them an overview of what's involved, advice on finance and the viability of their business, help writing a business plan, and one-to-one support.
"People we have worked with learnt that they can really rely on us. They can trust the trust.
"Most of us who give advice have run our own businesses, so we have first- hand experience of some of the problems these businesses face."
Aileen said 24 local well-established companies from the public and private sectors joined together to form the trust to help those seeking self-employment, or their own start-up businesses.
Despite the economic downturn, she proudly says that the majority of businesses dealt with by the trust have continued to grow and succeed. At any one time, there are around 70 businesses on their books, and the trust specialises in women's business enterprises and youth enterprises.
She said a large part of her role is sourcing funding to provide the free facilities to companies requiring the trust's help.
"In the difficult economic climate, we have seen more people interested in starting a business, particularly those who have found themselves redundant.
"Many of the existing businesses we work with are continuing to grow, despite the economy."
The organisation is planning a celebration event for around 50 guests, including past and present clients, at its offices on December 14.
Speaking about the future, Aileen said: "We want to build on the client base we have developed over the years with the thousands of businesses we have helped. All the signs for the future seem positive."

Hai folks,
i have a form field name 'title'. now user enters the following in to this field :17" LCD monitorwhen the form is posted, i get :
result :17\" Black LCD
now this value again need to be inserted in to another form
<input name="title" type="hidden" id="title" value="<?php echo $title; ?>" />
now what i receive when posted this form is : 17
i just want the 17\" Black LCD
If you actually write out what you're echoing, I think that you'll see the issue:
<input name="title" type="hidden" id="title" value="17\\" Black LCD" />
Can you see how the quote makes the value seem like it's 17\? One thing that you could do is use htmlentities to change the first post (with " instead of " you won't run into the problem!), and then use html_entity_decode to undo the operation. If you check out the first example here:
it will give you a good idea how to do this.
Hope this helps...
Thanks kreut for the reply,ill read about htmlentities. seem this will help!
You're welcome! And if it doesn't make sense, feel free to post again. Also, not to add another bag of worms, but it seems that you have magic quotes turned on php.net/manual/en/security.magicquotes.php (this is the reason for the added slash). You might want to read up on this feature that will soon be deprecated in PHP and consider turning magic quotes off in your ini file or perhaps use a more updated version of PHP.
Hai mate,
turning off the magic quotes really helped to get rid of that \ charactor.
but i could not get away with the second form submission
i tried your html_entity_decode suggession. result is same : 17
<input name="title" type="hidden" id="title" value="<?php echo html_entity_decode($title); ?>" />
You do not want to decode, but to encode: http://php.net/htmlentities
works charm!!!!
t name="title" type="hidden" id="title" value="<?php echo htmlentities($title); ?>" />
Thanks guido and kreut for the kind help!!
My apologies: I should have been clearer. In the decode example on the webpage that I sent you to, the first step was to use htmlentities. In retrospect, I should have just sent you to the htmlentities page as guido did. However, it looks like guido cleared it up for you.
Anyway, at least I helped with the magic quotes.
np mate. i never know about this magic quotes before you mention. was a great help.

TINY trains will be bringing a lot of fun to the National Railway Museum in York at half-term.
The museum, in Leeman Road, is putting on a nine-day celebration of toy and model trains, which will include a public vote to decide which toy train set is the nation's favourite.
The winner, which could be anything from Thomas The Tank Engine to a classic Hornby model railway, will earn a place in the vast collection.
John McGoldrick, curator of Museum Collections, said: "Railway toys have played a huge part in the childhoods of many and we felt the time was right to add the nation's favourite toy item into the collection."
The Big Fun With Little Trains event runs from February 16 to 24.

Lookup MX Records In DNS
From ErlangCentral Wiki
Using The DNS Lookup Interface
Although it looks like there is a mechanism for querying the system nameservers, I couldn't figure out how it works properly so I have to start by adding a nameserver to query from:
ok = inet_db:add_ns({192,168,0,10}).
This adds the given IP to the internal database of nameservers. (Note the Erlang convention of IP addresses given as quadruples).
The next stage is to construct an appropriate query. Handily enough Erlang provides a very simple interface. The header file is "kernel/src/inet_dns.hrl" and this provides all of the macros and details required to do the lookup.
Use include_lib to add this:
The query is extremely simple to achieve, just pass the domain and record type to inet_res:nslookup/3.
This returns { ok, Result } on success or {error, Reason} on failure.
Result is actually a record, named #dns_rec in inet_dns.hrl. This record has five fields, but for the purposes of this HowTo we are only interested in one, the arlist field. This field is a list of resource entries. To do the MX lookup I simply match on the record and list:
mxlookup(Domain) -> case inet_res:nslookup(Domain,1,?S_MX) of { error, Reply } -> Reply; { ok, #dns_rec{ arlist = Ans } } -> findmx( Ans ) end.
Each entry in this list is a record of #dns_rr (DNS Resource Record).
findmx/1 is a function which searches through the list of resources and filters out the MX servers. We're basically interested in the host addresses (for sending email to) so findmx/1 is very simple (and naive), for this HowTo I'll simply return the first host found:
findmx( [#dns_rr{ type=?S_A, data = Addr } | T] ) -> Addr; findmx( [H | T ]) -> findmx(T); findmx( _Other ) -> none.
Extensions like handling timeouts, sorting and verifying results and so forth should be straightforward, the comments in inet_dns.hrl outline what each member of each record means.
-module(mxlookup). -export([lookup/1, init/1]). -include_lib("kernel/src/inet_dns.hrl"). init([NS | T]) -> ok = inet_db:add_ns(NS), init(T); init([]) -> ok; init(Nameserver) -> ok = inet_db:add_ns(Nameserver). findmx( [#dns_rr{ type=?S_A, data = Addr } | _] ) -> Addr; findmx( [_ | T ]) -> findmx(T); findmx( _Other ) -> none. lookup(Domain) -> case inet_res:nslookup(Domain,1,mx) of { error, Reply } -> Reply; { ok, #dns_rec{ arlist = Ans } } -> findmx( Ans ) end.
-module(testmx). -export([test/0]). test() -> mxlookup:init( [{192,168,0,10}] ), Addr1 = mxlookup:lookup( "atomictiger.net" ), Addr2 = mxlookup:lookup( "trapexit.org" ), io:format("Atomic Tiger: ~p~nTrapexit: ~p~n",[Addr1,Addr2]).

Hospital staff strapped on their brassieres - men and all - as they took part in a charity MoonWalk.
Members of the team at BMI The Garden Hospital raised more than £2,000 by taking part in the event for causes including Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
The MoonWalk is organised by the charity Walk the Walk, which funds breast cancer causes across the UK.
The team, which was made up of pre-assessment lead Karen Blinko, theatre manager Andrew Kirk, deputy theatre manager Bradley Meadows, outpatient's sister Fran Williams and radiology healthcare assistant Pretty Devalia, was also joined by staff from other BMI hospitals.
Ms Blinko said: "Breast cancer is something that has touched us all both with our personal and working lives.
"We all wanted to be able to do something to give back to this amazing charity and the entire team who took part were amazed by the support we received from our friends, family, hospital teams and the consultant in our hospitals. We would like to thank everyone who donated to the charity and helped us achieve our goal."

6 Weird Ways to Kill a Cold
Until there's a real cure, why not try one of these strategies?
-Susan Crandell
As we hit the home stretch on cold and flu season, we're all getting weary of sniffling and sneezing. Everybody knows that washing hands can beat back germs, but what else can we do to ease a wintry illness or even stop it in its tracks?
Don't Blow Your Nose–Really! This is no joke. A hearty nose-blow can drive mucus up into your sinuses. In recent research at the University of Virginia, it happened every time. The best method for staying unstuffed: blow one nostril gently, and then the other. Or use a decongestant.
Don't Cancel Your Workout A study at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana found that having a cold did not affect lung function or exercise capacity. While exercisers took just as long to recover from their colds as a control group and experienced similar symptoms, they often reported feeling better throughout.
Avoid Dry Air Like the Plague Studies show that flu spreads more effectively in dry air. When absolute humidity (how much water is in the air) is low, the virus survives longer while airborne. If the air in your house is unusually dry, a humidifier may make sense.
Bake Your Cold In a notable exception to the moist-air rule, an Australian research team found that using a sauna can relieve cold symptoms and reduce recurrence. At the end of a six-month study, the group that sauna-ed regularly had fewer colds.
Don't Get Chilled Your grandmother may have been right when she said to put on a jacket so you won't catch a cold. When researchers at the Common Cold Centre soaked volunteers' feet in ice water, they caught twice as many colds as the control group. Best theory: Asymptomatic viruses replicated in nasal passages when blood vessels contracted in response to the chill, becoming symptomatic.
Hibernate People who slept less than seven hours a night were nearly three times as likely to catch a cold than ones who got eight hours or more, according to a study reported in the Archives of Internal Medicine. How much shut-eye does the average American get? Just 6.3 hours on weeknights. So pull up the covers, turn out the light, and catch a few more zzzzs.

Blacke HorseRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
This is an old British riddle from 1300-1900 AD.
A mighty blacke horse, with gallant white winges,
Within his grand paunch beares many straunge things:
He oft doth travayle for masters avayle,
And carges his bridle tyed fast to his tayle.
In going hee flyes twixt earth and the ayre,
And oft, where they would not, his riders doth beare:
Hee hath divers eies, and yet cannot see,
I pray you doe tell mee what may this beast bee?

OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. - Police agencies in Oakland County are investigating several home invasions in the past weeks.
The most recent break in happened in the morning of Jan. 9th on Helmandale Drive in Franklin.
Entry to the homes is gained by breaking a glass window in the back of the house or by forcing open a door.
Once inside thieves are taking electronics, jewelry, and weapons.
Read: Bloomfield Twp. sees string of home break-ins on same day.
After talking to neighbors, police say it appears that the burglars first ring door bells and knock on doors to see if anyone is home.
If a homeowner answers the door, the suspects either claim to be looking for someone else or pretend to offer a home improvement service.
The suspects are almost always described as young males in their late teens to 20s.
Some neighbors report would-be robbers are dressed in casual or business attire.
Police ask that you report any solicitors, suspicious persons or suspicious vehicles to 248- 626-5444.
Police tips:
- Always lock all doors and windows.
- Do not leave valuables such as laptop computers, jewelry, I-phones, and purses within view from outside.
- Keep your jewelry, money, and important documents stored in a safe in a hidden location.
Be extra vigilant of your neighbor's home for any signs of strange vehicles in driveways.

ON A film set in Atlanta two weeks ago, Hugh Jackman was at the charismatic, compelling peak of his screen powers - a best-actor nominee at work, nailing a scene with such conviction onlookers were stunned by his intensity. When the scene was done, Jackman was excited, too. He was thinking about the Oscars.
Taris Tyler - like Jackman, an Australian actor who traces his Hollywood dreams to formative years in Perth - had been watching Jackman work, as he has done many times before, but he had never seen his friend scorch his way through a script as powerfully as he'd done that day.
''He'd just done this incredible scene,'' Tyler recalls of the moment on the set of the movie Jackman is currently filming, Prisoners.
''I'd never seen him act like that before, and people on set were just speechless at how good he was. I was already emotional after watching that scene play out, and as he came off I went up to him to tell him how good it was. But he was more excited with what he had to tell me.
''He said, 'Did you get the email?' I said, 'No.' And Hugh said: 'You're going to the Oscars!' ''
And just like that, Hollywood's most exclusive golden door swung open.
An invitation to the Oscars? ''Beyond anything I ever imagined,'' says Tyler, a journeyman actor who not so many years ago wondered if this sometimes bruising show business life was really worth the ego-sapping effort.
Now, as he prepares to walk the red carpet at Sunday night's Academy Awards, he has his answer. He's on the inside of the Dream Factory, unknown, unheralded and with an unlikely story that suggests the best Hollywood tales don't always belong to the household names.
You may not have heard of Taris Tyler, but there's every chance you've seen him. If you've seen Les Miserables - the epic musical for which Jackman, 44, scored his best-actor nod - you've seen him. If you've seen Baz Luhrmann's Australia, you've seen him. The Wolverine movies? He's there, too.
Off-screen, Tyler, 40, is a Jackman intimate. He sometimes refers to the star as ''my brother''. And on-screen, he is something else again - Tyler is the star's body double and stand-in, and has spent most of the past six years with one of Hollywood's oddest job descriptions: he spends a lot of his working life being Hugh Jackman.
Strange? It can be. And Tyler admits it's not where he thought he'd find himself after years of trying to crack it as an actor. ''I never thought I was going to end up a body double,'' he says, laughing at this unlikely career twist in his mid-30s. ''But I'm bloody glad I have.''
He's used to the inevitable questions. Does he do Jackman's nude scenes? (No.) Does he earn a lot of money? (''You can earn a very good living.'' See breakout) Is Hugh Jackman really the nicest man in Hollywood? (Yes.)
And this one: What's it like living in Hugh Jackman's shadow?
''And my answer every time is, 'I am not in that man's shadow, I'm in his direct light'. He doesn't leave anybody out. If he can help someone he will. I guess he's taken me under his wing more than anybody else in terms of helping them achieve their dream.''
Tyler understands the curiosity, and that his is hardly a normal job even by show business standards. The Hollywood machine doesn't talk much about these kinds of jobs - the jobs done by the people who help make the world go round for the studios and for their names-in-lights superstars.
For an actor of Jackman's stature, being Hugh Jackman, superstar, is a big and complicated business, especially when balanced with his desire to continue being Hugh Jackman, ordinary bloke and family man. Jackman has no entourage to speak of, but there is a small, carefully chosen group of people that helps make a hectic Hollywood life run smoothly. There is an assistant, who is an old family friend; a personal trainer; and on-set, the alter-ego - the body double, a crucial player in the day-to-day world of making movies.
Six years ago, Jackman found a double he decided he wanted to have working with him wherever his travels took him. It was his first film with Tyler as his stand-in - Luhrmann's Australia - and the actor was impressed. One day during shooting in Darwin, sitting in the make-up room, Jackman made his pitch, as Tyler recalls it: ''I want to know if you want to make movies with me. I'm doing a little film after this called Wolverine. We're going to have a beard on our faces for the next year. So if you can stand looking like an idiot with mutton chops for three months, would you like to come and do it with me?''
''Of course, I had to think about it for all of one second,'' Tyler says.
At that point, he could scarcely believe his luck at scoring the Luhrmann gig. It had been a typically nerve-racking actor's experience, beginning with a cattle call in Sydney. ''I went in and I told them I could ride horses and that's what they were looking for. I said, 'I'll do anything to be on this production.' They said, 'No problem, you and a thousand others.'
''Basically it was a cattle call; there were a thousand people there. You would get your photo taken, then hand over your CV and your headshot, they took your measurements, and that was it.''
Months passed. Tyler was visiting his family in Perth when his agent called, saying Luhrmann's people wanted to see him again - not for a role, but for the Jackman stand-in job.
''There were six or seven other guys there that they wanted to test. None of them looked like Hugh at all, but I thought maybe that's not what they care about, maybe it's more his height, or his build? I'm six-foot-one, he's six-foot-three. So I thought, this is going to be the only thing that doesn't work in my favour.
''As [the casting director] put me up against the wall with the tape measure she turned her back, and as she did that I pushed myself up just ever so slightly on my tippy-toes, just to bring up the height a little. I was hoping she wouldn't look down at my feet.
''She took the shot and I walked away from that wall so quickly she didn't notice.''
Two days later, he got another call back. Then three days later, another one - the workaday actor's humbling, frustrating lot.
Tyler recalls: ''I said to one of the PAs … you need to go in there and find out if I've got this job or not because I haven't eaten, I can't sleep, my nerves are shot. And he said, wait here. It was the longest four or five minutes of my life. And then Baz Luhrmann burst out through the studio doors, put his hands out, and he said: 'Welcome to the BazMark family, Taris Tyler. You are Hugh Jackman's stand-in and we can't wait to start working with you.' ''
He'd been on the sets of TV soaps and commercials before, but the Luhrmann experience - working on a $100 million Hollywood blockbuster - was a whole other world.
And as stand-in for the leading man, the demands on Tyler, and on Nicole Kidman's stand-in Alexis Lever, were significant. Stand-ins are not there to cover for a star who doesn't want to come out of his trailer. They are the actors who directors use to map out every scene - the lighting, the camera angles, the movement - before they bring in the stars to shoot the scene proper.
''I would go out and light the scenes for him, do the dialogue for the timing of the scenes … it was just a really great time, and I was learning so much, how lighting works, working with the director of photography, learning about focus points,'' Tyler says.
''I just focused on doing the best job I could to make Hugh's job easier, so he could come in and watch what I'd done on screen and watch how the scene's going to play out. When they're happy with how that scene is going to play out, they bring the actors on. Hugh would pretty much watch what I'd done and I'd walk him through it, make sure he knew which key lights were going to hit him and when.''
Jackman was impressed on a professional level, and over the course of that long and arduous shoot, which took the Luhrmann circus from one side of Australia to the other over many months, the two actors began to build the personal bond that has kept them close on set and off ever since. They've worked together in Sydney, Tokyo, London and Paris. Tyler says Jackman and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, have made him part of their family.
And crucially, he says, the star has never lost sight of the fact that Tyler is an actor with his own career ambitions. Jackman may not have endured the battles and frustrations that mark the careers of most actors, but Tyler has, and Jackman knows it.
'I've lived off two-minute noodles,'' Tyler says. ''Sometimes I've had nothing in the cupboard. I've worked in bars. I've done whatever I needed to do to survive. But I didn't want anyone's help. I never thought about giving up, but the doubts were there. Thinking, maybe this isn't going to happen.''
By the standards of most young actors - who are lucky to ever earn a buck - he'd had a good run, including a long stint as a ''featured extra'' on the Seven medical drama All Saints. He didn't have any lines, but he had regular acting work for three years on a high-profile production.
After a while, even that started to wear thin. Then the Jackman job happened, perhaps just in time. After wrapping Australia in 2007, they shot Wolverine in Sydney and New Zealand. In 2009, Jackman took a year off from movies - hosting the Oscars, doing a Broadway play.
''He said to me, 'I'm going to be having a year off, there won't be a lot to do because I'm not doing any films. But I want you to take the time to go back into acting, keep your craft going, do whatever it is you need to keep it going. Do some short films, whatever.' And it wasn't long after that that a short film did come my way and it was being shot in Perth. He said, 'Definitely do it.' ''
That film, Disarm, has played to acclaim on the international film circuit. When Tyler next worked with Jackman, on the Spielberg-produced sci-fi thriller Real Steal, director Shawn Levy asked for a copy of Disarm. Impressed with what he saw, he slotted Tyler into a small speaking role in Real Steal and also arranged a meeting with the powerhouse William Morris agency in Los Angeles.
''I went to Hollywood, had my meeting with William Morris, and then I went to Hollywood Boulevard. I bought some chalk, and I went up to Hugh Jackman's hand and footprints outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I drew my handprint in chalk, signed my name, and I said to myself, 'Within five years I'm going to the Oscars.' ''
Two years on, that dream is coming true, on the night that Jackman stands in line for the highest acting honour. Tyler went through the marathon Les Miserables shoot with him, the most recent of the Hollywood experiences that regularly have him pinching himself.
''They all knew they were on to something special making that movie. Russell [Crowe] would have these gatherings at his house after work and on the weekend, and there'd be Anne Hathaway and Amanda Seyfried and Hugh, all singing around the piano until 3.30 in the morning some nights. They were all so close, they all loved to sing, they all loved to perform.''
In Los Angeles at the Oscars (12.30pm Monday in Melbourne and Sydney), the cast of Les Mis will perform again. To you and me, they will be stars on the grandest stage, but Tyler will be in the audience seeing nerve-racked friends performing to a massive global audience, a long way from those private singalongs around Russell Crowe's piano during filming.
Afterwards, he will join Jackman at the Governor's Ball - the Academy's official post-ceremony function for winners and nominees. By the time they get to the ball, Tyler hopes his mate is clutching one of those little gold statues - but whether Jackman wins or loses, it will make no difference to their relationship, which is cemented by a handshake.
''I'd never really expected to keep going on to each film with him, but he keeps offering it to me each time,'' Tyler says.
''I don't expect anything from him, and he doesn't expect anything either. I think our deal works because he encourages me to become the actor I've always wanted to become, and he has seen what I'm capable of doing, and he believes in me and expects me to continue to do that. We've talked about it, and he's said if a role was to come my way halfway through a film I'm working on with him, I must take that role.''
But those career concerns can wait. For the next two days, Tyler is happy to sit back and watch Jackman bask in the glory. And if the boy from Oz wins, he declares: ''I'll be the happiest stand-in in the world.''
An A-list job that has its own perks
AS TARIS Tyler says of his job as a full-time body double and stand-in: ''There's not very many of us in the world.''
It's a Hollywood role attached mainly to A-list stars - the heavyweights whose financial clout, the big budgets of their movies, and the demands of their schedules, make it a necessity. And for the stand-in themselves, the pay and the perks can be impressive.
As Hugh Jackman's stand-in since 2007, Taris Tyler typically has his own trailer on set, flies first-class, and has accommodation, transport and most of his meals provided by the production. ''You can do pretty well if you work hard and often,'' he says.
The flipside: long, long days on set, and when the movie wraps, the perks and the pay cheques stop until the next one.
Tyler isn't one to brag, and nor is Jackman, who Tyler confirms is regarded as one of the least demanding stars in the business. ''He's the absolute real deal.''
His most memorable proof of that brings him to tears recalling it. When Tyler's grandmother was dying in 2008, Jackman arranged for the actor to leave the Wolverine set in New Zealand and fly home to say goodbye. ''He said, 'This is just a movie, and that is real life, and you must go home now'. He made it happen. I'm forever grateful for that.''
The depth of the bond is clear even in Tyler's sharing of his story with Fairfax Media: while stars like to keep the spotlight for themselves, Jackman gave his blessing to this interview. And then there's this. Tyler reckons Jackman has made a promise. ''When I make my first feature film as an actor in my own right he says he will be my stand-in on my first day on set.''

High school assignment generates community impact
Byline info is not available
November 26, 2013
Cancer, poverty, hunger, low reading scores - problems.
Concerts, murals, 5K runs, book fairs - solutions.
For nearly a decade, Becky Boes has taught a problem/solution unit in her sophomore English class. Three years ago she incorporated a "real-world" component to the lesson.
"It gives kids in the class a sense of purpose," Boes said. "They don't have to ask why we're doing something, they can see for themselves. The ownership they take of what they work on and create - it's powerful to watch them realize they can change something."
The students team up to tackle either a global or local problem they care about, and find a creative way to address the issue. For the past several years, all of the winning projects have dealt with a local issue, said Boes.
"They find that when it affects people they know, they get a stronger response," she explained.
The students have full responsibility for their projects, contacting leaders and making arrangements before presenting them to a panel of judges from the Carroll community. The winning group implements their project for extra credit points.
But more and more students are implementing their projects, even if they don't win, said Boes. Last year was the first time it happened. This year, nearly half of the 15 student groups are moving forward with their projects.
S.O.S. - Students Out Serving
Brent Van Erdewyk, Rose Eischeid, Jenny Najarro and Chance Sturgeon were inspired by their Kuemper Catholic High School counterparts and a desire to serve.
The problem: Lack of organized high school student involvement in the community.
The solution: A school-wide service day to assist community members with chores and smaller projects.
"Some people feel like they don't have anything to contribute," said Sturgeon,
He was personally inspired by a nursing-home visit conducted for a previous English class unit. Some of the individuals in the homes don't have visitors, he explained, and spending even 45 minutes talking and laughing with them can make their week.
"It doesn't sound exciting, but look at how that person feels when you're done," he said.
The group selected April 30, 2014, for the first service day, so as not to compete with Kuemper's fall service tradition. Group members also created a website with a job-request form for community members and a service-day reflection form for students.
Eischeid explained that volunteering benefits the givers as well, often instilling confidence and higher self-esteem.
"I think our only regret will be that we didn't do it sooner," said Van Erdewyk.
Paint the Future
Shelby Miller, Dakota Holliday, Micaela Bretey and Tanner White also have plans to paint a mural. They will add a few clip art-style animals and a city skyline to the walls of the Carroll Area Child Care Center and Preschool in Carroll.
Problem: The young children at the center are greeted by plain walls that do not encourage creativity.
Solution: Paint a bright, colorful, kid-friendly mural.
"Favorite colors are one of the first things that makes us unique," said Miller. At day care, children learn to share, take turns and respect what is unique in one another.
The group researched the different effects of color, learning that bright colors like orange and yellow are lively and energetic while cooler colors like green and blue are relaxing.
"The colors in your environment can affect your mood," said Bretey. "We're not just creating a pretty and fun environment, but helping the children be more successful over time."
Corey Boyer and Steve Frank of ACE Hardware received a special thank-you from the group. ACE Hardware donated eight colors of paint and eight brushes.
Reining in the Resource Room
Levi Shield, Chandler Hagen, Bianca Irlbeck and Sarah Steffen were inspired by their special-education counterparts.
Problem: Field trips are more difficult for students with special needs.
Solution: Organizing and raising money for a field trip to Timber Creek Therapies, a Guthrie Center stable equipped specifically to assist children and adults with special needs.
"There aren't academic or social reasons they can't take field trips," explained Hagen. "It's a lack of opportunity because of greater expense."
Timber Creek offers therapeutic riding and hippotherapy, which uses equine movements to offer physical, occupational and speech treatment. Steffen became aware of the program after job-shadowing at the stables for a different English project in September.
The cost to take the nine resource room students to the stables is only $45, which the group intends to raise through a bake sale. The transportation cost is $150, which the school agreed to cover, Irlbeck reported.
The plan is for the students to depart the school at 9 a.m., ride for about an hour and a half, eat a sack lunch and return to the school by 1:30 p.m. on a weekday in early December. The arena is indoors, so weather will not be a factor.
"We hope to make it a tradition," Shield said, adding that many of the students had never had the opportunity to ride a horse before. "It might just start off as a field trip, but it could change futures."
Black Out Cancer
David Hedke, Patrick Kelly, Kyler Brinker and Melissa Miller designed their project to help raise money for the American Cancer Society.
Problem: Immunotherapy research requires funding.
Solution: A benefit concert.
Brinker is part of a hard rock band called Black Diamond. On Saturday, Dec. 7, the band will play a two-hour-long show at Renew Covenant Church at 7 p.m. The 20-song set will include classics from bands such as KISS, Van Halen and Styx.
There will be no admission charge, but a freewill donation will be collected to benefit the American Cancer Society.
According to an ACS fact sheet provided by the group, nearly 14 million people in the U.S. have had cancer, including Kelly's brother, who lost a battle with the disease.
The group hopes to pull involve its own generation in fundraising efforts.
"Every teen has a safe haven within music," Hedke said.
Redesign Hope
Jack Fordyce, Kourtney Mead, Hannah Patterson and Zach Macke have also known family and friends whose lives have been affected by cancer.
"The world becomes a little bit colder when cancer comes in," said Fordyce, whose cousin, grandfather and mother had been diagnosed.
But cancer doesn't have to be about pain, Macke said. It can be about the victory of triumphing over the disease - it can be about hope.
Problem: The negative atmosphere connected with cancer does not boost the patients.
Solution: Design an inspirational mural for the new cancer ward coming to St. Anthony Regional Hospital in Carroll.
The group met with a group of hospital architects. They proposed a 5-by-5-foot mural of bright rainbow colors. The quote chosen, a Mead original, will read, "We may live in a world of differences, but no one is alone in this battle."
"We want to inspire people affected, to let them to never give up, that they are not alone," said Patterson.
#CCSD Stadium Rebuild
Nathan Simmons, Derrie Ridgley, Rylie Riesberg and Jacob Norgaard decided to take on a public issue for their project - the Carroll stadium.
Problem: A plan to rebuild the rundown stadium failed because voters 40 years old and younger did not go to the polls.
Solution: Run a social-media campaign to get the younger generation of voters involved.
The stadium was state-of-the-art when it was built in 1963, explained Ridgley.
But now the restrooms are hazardous, pieces fall from the ceiling of the concession stands, and visiting teams have to suit up in the elementary school, continued Riesberg.
According to Riesberg, the cost of a new stadium, complete with a turf field, would be about $5.5 million. However, the group believes there is plenty of room to compromise on a less-expensive plan. The trick is to get young voters to the polls.
The group created a website, ccsdstadiumrebuild.weebly.com, and social-media accounts on Facebook and Twitter, using #CCSDstadiumrebuild to get the word out.
"Carroll, Iowa, is a sports town," said Simmons, adding that Carroll, Kuemper and Glidden-Ralston school districts utilize the stadium. "We want people to see the stadium and be jealous."
According to Boes, the group has also contacted several coaches in an attempt to form some sort of student coalition to support the stadium issue.
"Everyone in the school wants it, but that's not what we're trying to do," said Norgaard. "We're trying to reach beyond that."
The top three winners were Kindles for Chemo, S.O.S. and Reining in the Resource Room.

Have you seen any of the ABC News Made in America specials on World News with Diane Sawyer? This week they're talking about the impact college students could have on our economy if they purchased USA made dorm room accessories and linens from American companies.
It's tough to do since universities are unwittingly pushing imported goods through their campus stores, but it is possible, as demonstrated on the show. And in fact this room was $92 cheaper to furnish with American made items than similar imported ones.
Sawyer notes that the average college student shopper spent $800 this season or a total of $46 BILLION. If that money had been spent purchasing American goods, it could have provided almost half a million American jobs!
So it turns out it can be cheaper to furnish a college dorm with American made items than imported ones? Maybe some smart college presidents will commission their business school faculty and students to get on this and transform their campuses into American Made spaces.
Oh and if they're looking to add American made furniture to the dorms, Vermont's own New England Woodcraft has been building solid wood furniture for college dorms right here in the USA for over 50 years.
It looks like this Vermont-made furniture is pretty well equipped to handle college students, wouldn't you think?
And while we're on the subject of USA made furniture, I can say that 100% of our furniture at Vermont Woods Studios is 100% made in America… in Vermont to be precise.
Your purchases here employ our 5 staff members who operate the website and take care of sales and customer service, plus about 15-20 furniture makers and many additional support people including shippers. You are making a difference when you Buy American and we are grateful for your support.

James Ward (27 January 1843 – 4 March 1925) was an English psychologist and philosopher.[1]
He was born in Kingston upon Hull, the eldest of nine children. His father was an unsuccessful merchant. Ward was educated at the Liverpool Institute and Mostyn House, but his formal schooling ended when his father became bankrupt.
Apprenticed to a Liverpool architect for four years, Ward studied Greek and logic and was a Sunday School Teacher. In 1863, he entered Spring Hill College, near Birmingham, to train for the Congregationalist ministry. [2] An eccentric and impoverished student, he remained at Spring Hill until 1869, completing his theological studies as well as gaining a University of London BA degree.
In 1869–1870, Ward won a scholarship to Germany, where he attended the lectures of Isaac Dormer in Berlin before moving to Göttingen to study under Hermann Lotze. On his return to Britain Ward became minister at Emmanuel Congregational Church in Cambridge, where his theological liberalism unhappily antagonised his congregation. Sympathetic to Ward's predicament, the philosopher Henry Sidgwick encouraged Ward to enter Cambridge University. Initially a non-collegiate student, Ward won a scholarship to Trinity College in 1873, and achieved a first class in the moral sciences tripos in 1874.[3] With a dissertation entitled 'The relation of physiology to psychology', Ward won a Trinity fellowship in 1875. Some of this work, An interpretation of Fechner's Law, was published in the first volume of the new journal Mind (1876). For the rest of his life, the Dictionary of National Biography reports that he
held himself aloof from all institutional religion; but he did not tend towards secularism or even agnosticism; his early belief in spiritual values and his respect for all sincere religion never left him.
During 1876–1877 he returned to Germany, studying in Carl Ludwig's Leipzig physiological institute. Back in Cambridge, Ward continued physiological research under Michael Foster, publishing a pair of physiological papers in 1879 and 1880.
However, from 1880 onwards Ward moved away from physiology to psychology. His article Psychology for the ninth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica was enormously influential – criticising associationist psychology with an emphasis upon the mind's active attention to the world.
He was president of the Aristotelian Society from 1919 to 1920.
Ward defended a philosophy of personalistic panpsychism based on his research in physiology and psychology which he defined as a "spiritualistic monism".[4][5] In his Gifford Lectures and his book Naturalism and Agnosticism (1899) he argued against materialism and dualism and supported a form of panpsychism where reality consists in a plurality of centers of activity.[6] Ward's philosophical views have a close affinity to the pluralistic idealism of Leibniz.[7][8] Ward had believed that the universe is composed of "psychic monads" of different levels, interacting for mutual self- betterment.[9] His theological views have been described by some as a "personal panentheism".[10]

Last week I had the opportunity to take the SAAM [1] act on the road, and I was fortunate to be heading to one of my favorite places on the planet: Jersey. The great folks at the New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault (NJCASA) [2] host an ongoing training institute to educate and inform practitioners on sexual violence prevention and survivor-centered approaches. When NJCASA reached out to NSVRC and our partner Alison Bellavance from Planned Parenthood of Northeast, Mid-Penn & Bucks County [3], I was so excited to be returning to my home state to train on one of my favorite topics - healthy sexuality [4].

Up until the age of 12 I used to ride motorbikes. While staying at Newcastle Waters, a giant station in the middle of the Northern Territory that was owned by
This bike had a very narrow "power band", which refers to the RPM range within which you get maximum horsepower. You would be cruising through the gears thinking the bike was nothing fancy. But when you hit the mysterious power band, the bike would surge forward with such force that you risked being knocked off.
Adding leverage to your investments can be a little like that.
In recent columns I've quantified the volatility of an individual home relative to a well-diversified portfolio. I've shown you what share of all property owners lose money when they sell in both gross and net terms. And I've offered some theoretical guidance on how leverage can boost a property's risk.
Now I want to think about leverage on a more practical level. I will explain exactly how it can enhance your returns but also amplify your probability of loss.
Leverage denotes the use of debt to help fund an investment. While you legally own 100 per cent of the asset, your economic ownership is limited to the equity you have in it. Of course, your equity is simply the asset's value less the outstanding debt.
It is not widely understood that housing leverage is the mother of all turbo-chargers. First, the cost of a home loan is lower than any other form of debt. This is a little incongruous since the risk of a geared home is high. But there is a big difference between the risk you take as an individual owner and the risk your lender assumes.
While you own one home, the bank is lending across hundreds if not thousands of assets. So the bank is diversifying away the "idiosyncratic" individual property risk. It gets left with the "beta" or non-diversifiable, index-level risk, which is far lower.
Your discounted home loan rate, which today is as low as 5.6 per cent, is substantially cheaper than the cost of small business, corporate or personal loans.
A second unique feature of residential leverage is its extraordinarily long term. Big companies and banks struggle to borrow for longer than three to five years. Once these debts mature, they must be repaid unless they are rolled over or refinanced.
Yet with a home loan you can get terms as long as 25 to 30 years. Subject to you continuing to service your (low) interest repayments, you will never face the conventional business borrower's "roll-over" or "refinancing" hazards.
A third attractive feature of residential loans is the amount of leverage banks will supply you. Commercial and corporate borrowers will not normally be offered debt worth much more than 50 per cent of their assets. In comparison, it's not hard to secure home loans up to 90 per cent of a property's value.
So leverage in the housing market opens up a potent triumvirate of low costs, long terms and high loan-to-value ratios.
One disadvantage of the owner-occupied loan is that interest repayments are not tax-deductible. This is a costly quid pro quo for getting the capital gains tax exemption. Property investors, by way of contrast, do get the benefit of interest being deductible but also pay capital gains tax.
When thinking about property "returns" people tend to focus on house price growth plus rents. But as almost all folks purchasing property use some leverage, one should examine the actual "equity" returns.
To formally quantify how leverage can affect your investment performance, I've created two simulations with the help of Pacific Eastcoast advisers. Consider a hypothetical $550,000 apartment in Melbourne's South Yarra. You purchase it using a home loan worth 80 per cent of its value, or $440,000. You therefore start with $110,000 in economic equity.
Let's focus on two cases. In "positive" scenario one you hold the property for five years and realise an annual capital growth rate of 4.5 per cent plus a gross rental yield of 5 per cent. In "negative" scenario two, everything is the same except your property declines in value each year by 2 per cent.
Other key assumptions include: a 38.5 per cent marginal tax rate; a 6 per cent interest rate; annual inflation of 3 per cent to index rents; hefty upfront purchase costs of 5.4 per cent; even chunkier selling costs plus capital gains tax equal to 7.2 per cent; small rental losses due to occasional vacancies; and maintenance costs that cut the gross rental yield from 5 per cent to 3.5 per cent. We also make allowances for depreciation of the building and fittings, and the loan costs and interest repayments being deductible.
In the relatively positive scenario your equity value increases by 123 per cent, or by 78 per cent if you sell the apartment and incur the taxes and charges. Your compound annual rate of return after all taxes is an exceptional 12.2 per cent if you hold. That's more than 1.5 times the total gross asset returns. If you sell the property and incur the ensuing expenses, you still make a net 7.4 per cent annual return.
But with the upside comes downside. In the negative scenario your home declines in value by a cumulative 9.6 per cent. That may not sound so bad. Yet because you are leveraged 80 per cent, your equity falls by a far steeper 50 per cent if you hold. And if you sell, you suffer a 63 per cent loss.
Think about the power and perils of leverage before loading up on it.

The Office of Budget Responsibility faces a big credibility test today. Chris Giles, the FT's economics editor, has an agenda-setting story that raises doubts over its very purpose and independence. It is far more significant than any speculation over Sir Alan Budd's departure.
Through persistent questioning, Chris uncovered that the OBR tweaked its Budget forecasts at the last-minute to erase around 175,000 public sector job losses by 2014/15. Read more

Elevator speech: Victim blaming and why it matters
NSVRC and OAESV recently released a statement to follow up on the findings in the Steubenville case. "Turn off the victim blaming. Turn on support for survivors." discusses some of the negative media feedback that has surrounded the case. I kind of feel like that title alone is all you really need to get from this post today. Why are we still talking about victim-blaming? The message must not be clear yet. I suppose it never hurts to practice my elevator speech, so let's unpack the idea a bit.
I can remember a time when disrupting victim blaming through rape jokes erupted into a giant family fight. It led to a 3 solid days of silent treatment tempered with outbursts with one of my sisters (yes, me and my adult sisters still have "teenage melodrama" at times…I like to think it's all part of sisterly affection). Her point was simple: everybody knows it's a joke and that she doesn't really think what she said is true so it doesn't matter anyway. My point was that it does matter.
Casual victim blaming among friends, rape jokes, or blatant disregard for the feelings and experiences of people who survive sexual violence in the media are all a part of rape culture. If we hear this stuff often enough from people we love, respect, believe in, or care about, then it becomes normal. It matters because we start to believe it. It also matters because people who subscribe to rape myths and victim blaming are more likely to commit acts of sexual violence (check out McMahon & Baker's paper on perceptions). It's all connected because even if you never rape someone, accepting rape myths or spouting victim blaming statements makes it easier for someone else to do it.
One person in Florida recently shared her event with us—a walk to raise awareness about child sexual abuse—and shared that she's faced problematic media coverage about her experience of abuse. This is too common. It happens every day and it needs to stop. Name the problem: victim blaming in the media. What's the solution: educate the media on appropriate ways to report on sexual violence.
It's important to emphasize that while the media plays a big role in informing public knowledge and opinion in cases about sexual violence, blaming statements are not only made by reporters. What is reported through mainstream media is only a reflection of the attitudes and beliefs subscribed to, promoted and consumed by the general public. We all have a role to play in ending rape culture.

BURNLEY's first Buddhist temple could open in a vacant town centre mill.
The Yorkshire-based Kadampa Buddhist Centre has lodged plans with Burnley Council to convert Brunside Mill, in Parker Street, into a place of worship.
The proposal also includes a cafe and shop on the site, last used as a carpet and furniture showroom by UK Carpets & Interiors.
The application, made in the name of Buddha Land's resident teacher, Gen Kelsang Paljin, said the temple would be used for prayers, meditation and workshops.
He said: "The overall aim is to provide a spiritual refuge where everyone, Buddhists and non-Buddhist, can feel part of a supportive comunity, find inspiration and encouragement to develop harmony and peace within their lives.
"The shop would sell small artefacts and books compatible with Kadampa Buddhist philosophy. It would provide general information on Buddhist philosophy and meditation to people of the area."
Neil Grahame, who helps run the Burnley Kadampa Buddhist Centre, in Curzon Street, said the temple would be used mainly as a meditation centre.
He said: "The building offers more space. There is a demand, mainly for our meditation classes, which is our strongest attraction.
"The cafe gets used quite a lot as well. The prayers are in the form of chanting but they are a fairly minor part of what we offer.
"At present it's really informal but we get up to 25 people at our Wednesday meditation classes and around 10 at our Monday teachings.
"As far as I'm aware we're the most active in East Lancashire. Buddhists don't evangelise or try to convert people in the street. The idea is that people come to Buddhism."
Mr Grahame, from Roughlee, said he believed Brunside Mill had been purchased outright. It was on the market last month with auctioneers Pugh and Company, with a guide price of £100,000.
