Chapter 1: Challenging Level-Book Mania
Recurring themes and key messages found in the text:-Students should be able to choose what books they want to read if they're going to become lifelong readers.
-Although levels have merit and are useful tools when considering books, other things, such as interest and supports, that should be considered when looking at the book.
Key questions for SLMSs raised by the text:
-If teachers in the school overemphasize leveled books and only let their students read leveled books in class, how do school librarians support the students and the teachers at the same time?
-Sometimes, students simply have no idea what books to choose. How do we help students pick books that they like?
Specific Strategies that SLMSs can use to promote/support reading:
-The school librarian could start a "My Favorite Books" program--maybe 30 minutes to an hour long. Parents and children could come to the library, and parents could share their favorite childhood books with their children. Children could also read their parents their favorite books, or parents read to their children the children's favorite picture books. This would get parents involved and emphasize reading for personal pleasure.
-The SLMS could have a display in the library called "My Favorite Books." This could be a reward for the classes that come in--at the end of the class, the SLMS could pick a student who was especially good during class, and that student gets to pick a book to put on the bookshelf. The SLMS could ask the student why s/he picked the book. This would get students thinking about what books they like, and why, and it would also let the student share their books with their peers.
Chapter 2: Expanding Our Definition of Just-Right Books in our K-1 Classrooms
Recurring themes and key messages found in the text:
-Leveled books are a great way of improving children's reading levels, but to foster the love of reading, other factors are more important.
-K-1 students don't have to read leveled books all the time to become independent readers. Favorite books, characters, authors, and subjects play an equally important role in keeping students reading.
-In a classroom or library, it is good not to put too much emphasis on books' levels on the shelves.
Key questions for SLMSs raised by the text:
-How can we help improve students' reading levels, while at the same time encouraging them to pick books they love?
-How do we present leveled books inconspicuously in the library?
Specific Strategies that SLMSs can use to promote/support reading:
-Let the students take out two books at a time, and encourage them to pick one "just right" leveled book and one book of their choice.
-Idea from the book: Make books baskets--books separated out in baskets by popular authors, characters, or series. If students find a character they love, this will encourage them to read more books about that character. Plus, the books will be easier to find.
-Display as many picture book covers as possible, since children (and adults) choose books with an appealing cover. This encourages choice.Specific Strategies that SLMSs can use to promote/support reading:
Chapter 3: Understanding Transitional Readers
Recurring themes and key messages found in the text:
-Transitional readers are at an important stage in their development as readers. They tend to have trouble with choosing appropriate and interesting books for themselves. They require support from us as teachers and librarians in order for them to be able to choose books for themselves as independent readers.
-Each reader is unique, there are no set rules for how to help each transitional reader, it is up to us to understand the individual so that we can understand the individual's needs. We must pay attention to each readers strengths and weaknesses.
-The main goal is to get readers from the transitional stage to the independent reader stage.
-Using leveled books can be "counterproductive" to finding the right books for unique students.
Key questions for SLMSs raised by the text:
-How can we create a library that supports as many individual readers as possible?
-Do we have the kinds of texts that would support transitional readers?
Specific Strategies that SLMSs can use to promote/support reading:
-Observation: Including having conversations with kids, watching them as they use the library, even eavesdropping on their conversations with each other.
-Thoughtful teaching: Being responsive to the observations you have made of the students, always taking into account the differences of each individual reader.
-Modeling: Showing the students the reading behaviors that we want to encourage.
-Identification: There are many clues in texts that will help readers with difficult ideas like the movement of time and making inferences, we must make sure to show these clues to the readers.
-Selection: Making sure that the library has a large enough selection of books to support many different readers.
Chapter 4: When Levels and Learning Clash: Moving from Levels to Supports in Designing Instruction
Recurring themes and key messages found in the text:
- We need to consider more than the level of a text when dealing with transitional readers. Beyond the levels are the specific needs of each individual transitional reader.
-The transitional stage of reading is when students also begin to understand their own reading patterns and personality. This is their chance to discover what it is they are interested in, as well as to investigate different genres, perspectives, and subjects that are outside their comfort zone.
-Transitional readers need instructional that will show them how to understand and enjoy more sophisticated texts. They cannot just move from level to another.
-There are many factors that contribute to whether or not a book is good for a certain student. These factors encompasses every aspect of the book from the title to the subject.
Key questions for SLMSs raised by the text:
-In what ways are we showing readers how move up to more complicated texts?
-How are we supporting the development of each reader's reading personality?
- Knowledge: We need to make sure that we don't only know the students, but the books as well, so that we are better able to match the right reader with the right book.
-Converse: We should be in conversation with students and teachers at all time about the books that are popular, interesting, controversial, etc.
-Opportunities: Give the readers the opportunity to explore the library. Beyond exploration they should be able to talk, write, draw, even role-play about the books they are reading.
-Preview: Showing students how to "preview" books by themselves will help them make better book choices for themselves. They should know how to glean from the title, front and back covers, table of contents, and even the dedication what the general idea of the book is.
-Choices: Show the readers that there are all kinds of books that might be great for the teacher or their little sister, but may not work for other readers. They should be able to know when and why a book is just right for them. We can explain to them that there are many factors that contribute to whether or not a book is just right: length vs. how much time each reader has, difficulty of vocabulary, complexity of issues addressed, etc.
Chapter 5: Taking a Closer Look at Series Books
Recurring themes and key messages found in the text:
Although, as librarians and educators we would like to move students away from reading series books to reading more difficult novels, students enjoy series books and reading series books can be beneficial to readers. By reading series books students are able to develop skills of predicting what will happen further in the series. Series books can help reluctant or struggling readers by providing them consistent books with characters or plots that they enjoy. Series readers can also explore the social nature of reading by recommending certain series to other readers based on their extensive familiarity with the characters, settings, and storylines. When readers move onto more complex texts, experience with series books will help students because they will have had experience with varieties of characters and different plots. There are series books available for struggling readers as well as advanced readers so that students can all share the experience of getting to know and following favorite characters over several books. Students do not remain with series books forever. Many students will stop reading a series in the middle to read another book and then return to the series later. Some students will read some of a series and then leave it completely without finishing the remaining books in the series. By letting students decide how much of a series is interesting to them, they learn how to make decisions as readers.
Key questions for SLMSs raised by the text:
-What series books would be appropriate for the students that the librarian serves?
-What supports should be within the books, such as pictures, short chapters, and size of print?
-How can the librarian promote individual novels to readers of series books?
-Would it benefit the students for the library to have displays related to themes that bring in series books, novels, nonfiction titles, etc. all together?
Specific Strategies that SLMSs can use to promote/support reading:
-First and foremost, have a variety of series books available for students. Instead of relying only on book jackets for individual books in a series, maybe have small write-ups of what a series is about and what order the books go in for the students that want to read them in order.
-In book discussions with a series book, take advantage of the opportunity to have the students make predictions and then revisit these predictions after students have read the next book in the series.
-Librarians can discuss their own reading of series books during their lives and how they moved away from them and back to them. By discussing what we read, we show students what our reading patterns are and they can reflect on their own reading patterns.
Chapter 6: Using Picture Books, Nonfiction, and Graphic Novels with Transitional Readers
Recurring themes and key messages found in the text:
-Picture books can be used with transitional readers to teach difficult concepts/literary elements like words with double meanings, finding proof in the text, visualizing settings, flashbacks etc--to help students make sense of things that they'll encounter in future reading.
-Reading nonfiction requires a different set of strategies and some explicit teaching on concepts like directional words, learning to read/integrate charts and other visual aids in the text (diagrams, time lines, etc). Also, teachers need to provide non-"school reading" non-fiction--not just books related to the curriculum, but fun non-fiction as well. Books with a narrative style work well for elementary-age students.
-Graphic novels are increasingly popular (some have 8x the check-out rate of popular fiction books at school libraries) and are another good way to reach students who may struggle with reading or are reluctant readers. They can also teach students to look at different ways authors put words/pictures together and how the author uses words in different ways.
Key questions for SLMSs raised by the text:
-How can we help teachers build appropriate classroom collections?
-How can we support teachers' efforts to use non-traditional materials to engage readers and teach difficult literary concepts?
-How can we better collaborate with teachers on these projects?
-How can we promote non-fiction to transitional readers?
Specific Strategies that SLMSs can use to promote/support reading:
-Building displays around graphic novels, non-fiction, pictures books, etc.
-Books talks or reading groups that especially focus on non-fiction and how it can be appealing to transitional readers.
-Mini-lessons on learning literary techniques/difficult concepts using picture books.
Chapter 7: Organizing for Thoughtful Instruction
Recurring themes and key messages found in the text:
-Taking a cue from bookstores when it comes to classroom/library displays--books should be face out and easy to browse. All books in one series in a basket with similar series nearby, or books organized by themes like mystery adventures, humorous stories, animal characters with human experiences, etc--so kids can discover new titles they may find appealing, making the choice on their own. Separate areas for non-fiction/poetry.
-Also, the importance of reading workshops, which can include read-aloud time, mini-lessons, reflection time, independent/partner reading, reader response, reading conferences, literature circles, and share time.
-Also crucial: getting to know the students as individuals so we can better match them with books. Ways to do this: be in touch with parents, talk to students one-on-one to gauge their reading levels and interests, read books about reading and books to spur discussion about reading and books, have informal conversations with them about what they're reading (and ask them to retell so we can see their comprehension), formal assessments, etc.
Key questions for SLMSs raised by the text:
-How can librarians get to know these students well when we don't see them as often as teachers?
-How can we best communicate with teachers to find out about individual students and their needs and interests?
-How can we work with teachers on reading workshops and other similar programs?
-What strategies can we use to organize the library and displays to get kids interested in something new or make it easy for them to find something they'll enjoy?
Specific Strategies that SLMSs can use to promote/support reading:
-Program focused on books about books/reading, to get students talking about their experiences. (This chapter has a good list of questions to ask about books students are reading/enjoying.)
-Reading groups, conferences, literature circles, etc.
-Displaying books by themes like mystery adventures, humor, etc, so students can discover something new that may be similar to something they already love.
Chapter 8: Grouping for Instruction
Recurring themes and key messages found in the text:
Group discussions about books helps students identify themselves as readers. Instead of grouping students based on their reading levels, it is more successful to group students by what skills they need to improve. This allows for the teacher to give mini-lessons to each group on the skill that the students need to address. Groups will disband and form into new groups based on new skills to be learned. Books are chosen to address the skills rather based on reading level. Students can also form their own reading groups based on what they would like to read or learn, giving them greater sense of themselves as readers. Read-aloud sessions can create a whole class reading group that learns new reading strategies without having each student independently reading the same book while they are all working on the same reading skills. Whole class read-aloud sessions are a great opportunity to gain inference skills by analyzing the book's cover, jacket blurb, about the author section, and reviews.
Key questions for SLMSs raised by the text:
Successful grouping relies heavily on the teacher knowing the students well. The teacher must know the reading skills that students are struggling with as well as their interests so that they can choose texts that will support the reader's skill needs but will also entice them. How can the librarian help in choosing texts for small groups without knowing the students as well as the classroom teacher? The librarian may have to work more closely with the teacher in selecting texts based on what the teacher would like to find in a text rather than independently selecting texts for student groups based on their more general knowledge of the students.
Specific Strategies that SLMSs can use to promote/support reading:
-Help teachers identify which texts would provide the best supports for reading groups working on a specific skill.
- Lead book discussions with reading strategies such as previewing a book before reading the text.
-Provide visual reminders in the library of different reading strategies that readers can use either independently or in groups.
Chapter 9: Building a Reading Community
Recurring themes and key messages found in the text:
-Know what successful readers do—reflect on your own practices and talk with other readers about the reading process so that you can identify the habits of lifelong readers and then use this knowledge to develop strategies to teach in the classroom.
-We want kids to discuss books with us and with others when we're not present so we need to orchestrate these types of conversations that lifelong readers have so that students can then engage in them on their own.
-We can mine our own experiences as readers for how to instill a love of reading in our students.
-We can communicate with students about our own experiences as readers to show them the value of reading and to help them reflect on what they do as readers.
-Self-reflection by both teachers and students is an integral part of reading instruction.
-Community is an important part of reading instruction and helps students expand their love of reading beyond the classroom.
Key questions for SLMSs raised by the text:
-What is our role in creating a community of readers at our schools? How can we support classroom teachers in this effort and also work independently to support this goal?
-Do our students see us as readers? Do they see other teachers in the school as readers? If not, how can we change this?
-How can we engage teachers in modeling lifelong reading for our students?
-Do we expect the school librarian and the language arts and English teachers to be solely responsible for instilling a love of reading in our students?
Specific Strategies that SLMSs can use to promote/support reading:
-Create opportunities to book talk with students and have other people in the school community (tech specialist, principal, teachers, parents) give book talks, as well.
-Give minilessons with teachers where you reflect on your own habits as a reader.
-Encourage students to recommend books to each other through podcasts, book reviews on the OPAC, conversations, etc.
-Create book clubs that meet at convenient times for both teachers and students (lunch time, before school) so that they can come together to discuss books.
-Create a visiting author program and encourage all teachers to read this author's books with students for a few minutes every day (homeroom is a good time for this) so that when the author comes, everyone is familiar with his or her work. This could even be a "one book, one school" program.
Chapter 10: Taking the Conversation Home
Recurring themes and key messages found in the text:
-One of our roles is helping parents understand how they can support their transitional readers at home.
-We must help parents select appropriate books for their transitional readers by giving them a number of strategies to try and making recommendations.
-We can create assignments that foster reading at home and involve our students' parents in their reading.
-Parents can play a vital role in the lives of transitional readers if we give them the right support.
-If the school and the home reading environments are connected with--rather than isolated from--each other, young readers will benefit.
Key questions for SLMSs raised by the text:
-How can I help teachers involve parents in their children's reading lives?
-What programs can I create for the library that will involve parents in their children's reading lives?
-What ways do I have of communicating with parents so that they can learn about the readings strategies children are learning at school?
-What strategies can I use to help parents select appropriate books for their children?
Specific Strategies that SLMSs can use to promote/support reading:
-One strategy mentioned in this chapter is giving students interview questions to ask their family members about their reading habits or about their favorite books from childhood in order to foster conversations about reading.
-Another strategy is to send home a piece of reading (poem, news article, story, etc.) that was done in school and ask students to discuss it with family members.
-A similar strategy is the Grand Discussion, where parents and their children come to school having read the same book or story. They meet with other families to discuss the reading (similar to a book club).
-Teachers can share with parents the strategies they teach in minilessons so that parents can work on the same things at home.
-Parents can be sent a letter and asked to respond about what they have seen at home in regard to changes in their children's reading skills and habits.

There are a couple good things I can say about having an invisible chronic illness. It has given me a much greater appreciation for life in general. As the saying goes "without your health, you have nothing." It has taught me to value what health I have even if a large portion of the time it might be affecting me in a bad way. I can't say if I'm lucky or not for being diagnosed at 22. The fact that I had 22 years of living before my world changed in a second could be perceived as bad since change is more difficult to accept the older you are. I am grateful that I got to live as long as I did as a normal healthy functioning human being. Switch from that to a life with type 1 diabetes and it's like night and day. I can still clearly remember life before and I can truly say I took it for granted. Having diabetes has taught me many things. It has taught me intricate details about how the body works. How the body processes food for energy and the important role that me (as the brain for the non-functioning pancreas) has on the outcome. I've learned how different types of food affect me, from carbs to protein to fats to processed foods et al. I've learned the value of the glycemic index. I've learned how to be a pancreas. It has led me to be the healthiest I've ever been (even if the test results say otherwise). The most important thing I think I've learned is balance. Balancing exercise, diet and diabetes. It rarely all flows together nicely but I'm working on it. Diabetes is a huge part of me and yes in a way it most certainly does define me. I may not blurt it out in public but it's there, every day, and it changed how I live my life. Did I want to learn all of the details of my body as a machine? No, but I'm glad I did.
Another thing that I've learned while having an invisible illness is that there is a large percentage of the population that suffers from all kinds of invisible illnesses. I never pass judgement on strangers because I often wonder if that person too suffers from diabetes (or any other illness for that matter). You just never know. As I mentioned above, it's often months before co-workers find out I have diabetes and sometimes they never do. I've learned that if I struggle with it, everybody else with it does too. It has given me tremendous amounts of empathy for other diabetics especially since discovering the DOC.
I can't forget those close to me who have inadvertently suffered as well. Family and friends, you know who you are, we are in this together.
As a person with a disease, there is no running from your own shadow. Acceptance is the only answer. Just remember that some people have a lot more to deal with under the surface. Educating yourself and learning is a good place to start. Never pass judgement when you don't know what's going on. The best thing one can do is ask.

DENR: Community vigilance needed to prevent forest fire
- March 02, 2017
- Pilar S. Mabaquiao
SAN JOSE, Antique (PIA) - - The Department of Environment and Natural Resources called for community vigilance to prevent forest fires especially that summer months have come.
Joining the campaign of the Bureau of Fire Protection on fire prevention, Information Officer Joery Ocson of DENR Community Environment and Natural Resources Office in Belison, Antique in an interview said that they are stepping up the construction of fire lines and patrol works in the sites of the National Greening Program (NGP).
"We count much on the support of barangay officials and residents in upland communities to help the protection of forest areas", said Ocson.
Ocson also gave the following tips:
- Upland dwellers are reminded not to throw cigarette butts or any flammable objects in the grassland. They could ignite a fire that could burn a plantation and damage the habitat of animals and plants.
- Torches used at night when thrown into the wild could also start a fire, better if it is put off in safe area away from the withered leaves and grasses.
- Farmers are also restrained from burning their forest land for pasture of livestock or kaingin farming. They do more hurt in the environment especially to the natural regeneration of plants.
Under Project LAWIN (Landscape Wildlife Indicators) and Biodiversity Protection System, DENR is intensifying its forest patrolling system to monitor movement of wildlife and other activities in Antique's biodiversity areas. said Ocson.
An Information campaign is also conducted in barangays to increase awareness of people of their role to conserve and protect the environment. (JCM/PSM/PIA6Antique)

Russia wants to examine the source code of US software, report reveals
While all US intelligence agencies agree that Russia meddled in the presidential election last year, Donald Trump still finds time in his busy schedule to question whether it actually happened. Vladimir Putin, meanwhile, has denied any interference and suggested that any hacks originating from Russia may be the work of "overzealous patriots."
A new report shows that Russia has been more and more interested in Western technology and its tech secrets in recent years for two reasons: Preventing hacks and finding vulnerabilities.

Wee had no worries even cross our minds that we'd miss something - he was always right there, but never in the way. We have the most beautiful wedding album of anyone we know, all thanks to him. The pictures are just stunning, and we look at them all the time, because they really captured the magic of the day so wonderfully. We recommend him to all our friends, all the time, and even had him do newborn and Christening photos for our baby!

There's a lot to be said for good planning and prep. The same can be said of coParenting.
This information, which originally appeared in an article by The Guardian makes a really great case for the benefits of a Parenting Plan. While more unconventional than a standard coParenting Plan, the author of this article discusses how she and her coParent planned and mapped out their Parenting Plan for their unborn daughter's entire childhood.
How did they do it and how's it working out for them six and a half years later? Click here to find out!

From Leone Lakhani and Eoghan Macguire, CNN
Wine has been produced in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley for thousands of years. Lebanese winemakers hope to play on that history when selling to international consumers
The Lebanese Ministry of Agriculture in cooperation with the Arab-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Ghorfa) as well as the Lebanese Embassy in Berlin hosted the Lebanese Wine Day on May 5th, 2014.
Stephen Quinn travels the world for his weekly wine column and hopes to convey the magic of the grape in ways that anyone can understand. The Daily Star will be publishing Quinn's columns, beginning with his visit to Lebanon courtesy of HORECA.
Check out his article about Château Ksara Wines.
Goats on the Road listed Chateau Ksara as one of their 5 favourite wineries around the world. A big thank you!

I received some comments from the Critical Mass photography competition and it solidified how I feel about my Beach series.
Someone called my bird photos "quite lovely and serious". I knew that this was the direction that I wanted to take after I attended the photo review. Unfortunately some events in my life got in the way. I'm beginning to feel like I want to dig up the negs that I just threw into a bag and never looked at. It's a big bag. Kind of exciting yet daunting.

Always very comfortable and relaxing. Great sports bar atmosphere with very-very good food. Have never had a bad meal - breakfast, lunch or dinner. Quality people making quality food and giving great service at very reasonable prices.
They have specials everyday and the food is so good. Drinks are a great pour and service is spot on.

Emerald's Gem Box: Growing up in the newspaper business
Emerald G. Parsons I never had to wonder what I wanted to do when I "grew up." I grew up doing what I knew I wanted to do for the rest of my life – the newspaper business.

This was a story I thought of one day when I was sitting with my Daddy and sister. I hope you like it and, depending on how much feedback I get, hope to continue with this story. Thanks for reading.
Rest and Reminisce
They walked silently to their room, which was not far down the hall, both in their own thoughts. Liz the most.
Red could see that she was a little upset. Coming down the hall he could feel her body temp rising gradually like it did when she was distressed. What she was troubled by he was not sure. Perhaps it was... thinking about what they had gone through a little over nine years ago still made him uneasy. He knew it was much worse for Liz. Times like this he wish he could take her into his arms and whisper it would be alright. But he knew she needed a few minutes to calm down. He watched Liz reach the door first, slipping around the opening door to be the first one in the bathroom, on the other side of the room.
Liz was upset. Liz was well aware of how high her temp would leap whenever she was emotional, so when she walked to the shower, she turned it to as cold as it would go. Jerking off her shirt and pants, she tested the water she stepped in with a small gasp, then a sigh, as steam started rising off her shoulders. Reaching for the shampoo, to squeeze some into her hand and slowly massage it into her scalp, Liz's thoughts turning to Red. He was a great...man... for lack of a better word. How fast time has flown. She absently wondered what was the turning point in their relationship.
Liz outright smiled. Thinking about hers and Reds conversation right before they left to go up against Rasputin.
Red roughly waved his hand over his face.
"I wish I could do something about this." My heart clinched at the slight pain in his voice. Then his attention was on me, a slight smile tugging at his lips.
"But I can't. But I can promise you two things. One: I'll always look this good."
Looking away I had to smile at that.
"Two:" My eyes were back on him as his tone changed.
"I'll never give up on you... ever." At first I was speechless.
"I like that." It was all I could say around the lump in my throat but it seemed enough for him. He smiled.
Liz's mouth came up in a half smile, running fingers through her hair. Then her memory fast forward a little and she shuddered despite the humid bathroom.
In the darkness I heard a voice. The voice...sounded familiar...what was it saying? I followed the voice to consciousness until I could feel...I was lying on the cold hard ground against an even colder wall. Wrapped in only a silky blanket of some kinds. I opened my eyes and saw...Red. He looked so worried crouched over me.
He went to stand and I reached out to use his hand in order to help me stand too. Pulling him into a huge hug, I held onto Red for support since my legs were not cooperating very much. Feeling his nose nuzzle my hair just above my ear, I laid my head against him. Listening to his breathing, slowly and deeply his breaths came in and out.
"In the dark I heard your voice." I slid my head towards him. "What did you say?"
"I said, 'Hey...you, on the other side - let her go." He turned to me and I him. "Because for her I will cross over, and then you'll be sorry!'"
Liz signed, resting her head against the tiled wall and letting the frigid water rush over her feverish skin. Liz smiled at the memory of some of the 'dates' they went on after that.
Then the smile fell again. Clutched fist rested on the tile in front of her face.
Reds was trying so hard not to put all his weight on me but he was lousing his strength quickly. I guided him behind the goblin, slowly shuffling our feet, until we entered a strange room filled with huge jars. Suddenly Reds legs went out, almost bringing me down with him, sending his massive body to the floor.
"Red? RED!" I slid to his side as his eyes closed.
It had been years since I prayed. But then and there I poured my whole soul into it.
"Anung un Rama..." Something hissed. I slowly looked up to see... an Angel? Raised Catholic, I had learned about Angels when I was little, but this thing...it had wings and the basic human body but... it was gray and black and... no eyes. Or at least not where a human eyes. This... Angel...had eyes along its wings.
"You know that name?" I whispered. It slid a few steps forward.
"And yours...Elizzzzabeth Sherrrrman. At last...I have been waiting for you both, I am his death and I will meet him at every crossroad."
Waiting for us? What was this thing? Was it really an Angel?
"Can you save him?" I could not bring myself to speak above a whisper but it seamed to hear me just fine.
"It is for you to decide. It is all the same to me, my heart is filled with dust and sand." Slowly bringing its hands to its breast then tilting its hand as if letting invisible sand slid from its palm. "But you should know, it is his destiny to bring about the destruction of the Earth... not now,...not tomorrow but soon enough. Knowing that, you still want him to live?"
I had heard this before. Rasputin had said as much when he exploited Reds feelings for me in order to use Reds' key of a hand to bring about the destruction of Earth. That was it, the turning point at which Red chose to not do what he was meant to do... wasn't it?
Suddenly it was in front of us.
"So, chiiiiild...make the choice. The worrrrld...or hiiiim?"
"Him." I did not even have to think about it. The Angel leaned back but did not seemed surprised.
"The time will come, and you,...my dear...will suffer more than anyone."
"I'll deal with it." Anything to save Red. "Now save him."
"It is done." The Angel held up its hand to reveal the piece of spear between its fingers. There was not even blood on it.
"I have done what I can, now...give him a reason to live.
"A reason to live." Fingers smoothing back the soaked hair along the base of her neck to get the last of the soap. Liz's eye caught on a small rubber duck in the corner of the shower. Her hands came up to rub her face as her thoughts turned to her girls.
Twenty Minutes Before
"Say good night girls." Liz pointed to Nuala with little Ada already asleep on her shoulder. Two little bodies, dressed in princess nightgowns hurry to obey. Lyla shyly grabbed Nuala's leg.
"Night sweaty." Nuala smoother down her hair. Roxy took Trevor and Rossa in one big hug.
"Night!" They in turn hugged her back then Roxy and Lyla switched. Lyla taking time to hug each of her cousins in turn and Roxy hugging both of Nuala's legs.
"Alright girls." Roxy and Lyla waved one last time before taking their mothers hand and following her down the hall.
"Get to bed girls."They scurried under identical Disney Princess bed covers.
"We are!" They said in unison.
"Good night girls." Liz reached for the light switch.
"But mommy!" She turned back to her daughters. Roxy was out of her covers, sitting at the foot of Lyla's bed, Lyla along side her.
"What is it now, Roxy?"
"Daddy was suppose to tell us a story."
"Da on' wit da 'olden a'my." Lyla put in. Liz sighed in defeat.
"It's the 'Golden Army', baby girl. Think about your words before you say them." Liz signed again. Red promised the girls if they ate all their vegetables that he would tell them the story of the Golden Army before bed.
Then, a few minutes ago, Red had to go talk to Uncle Abe.
Pinching the bridge of her nose she made a spot for herself between the girls.
"Daddy did say that didn't he." She mumbled to herself then so her girls could hear her. "He is going to be a little late. Do you want me to tell you?" Roxy shook her head.
"Uncle Abe and Aunt Nuala said Daddy tells it the best." Liz knew it was going to be a long night. Lyla cocked her head to the side.
"Do oo know da 'tory, mo'y." Both their tails flicked back and forth in excitement.
"Yes I do, baby girl."
"Daddy told you already?" Roxy got on her knees, playing with her mother's dark locks that were so similar, though much shorter, to her girls.
"Well." She scooped Roxy onto her lap, careful with the tail, golden eyes staring. "Not...really. Well... some of it. I was...kind of there. At least for some of it."
"oo were dere!" Lyla hopped on her knees, bobbing her mother and sister up and down.
"Talk slow, Lyla." Lyla nodded eagerly.
"Yes, baby girl, I was." Liz scooped her other daughter also onto her lap. They were both small enough to just fit. "It was a long time ago. That was when mommy was helping get monsters with Daddy."
Liz watched as Roxy's golden eyes fell.
"The TV said Daddy is a monster. Does that mean we are monsters too?" Liz was lost for words, glancing over her girls red tinted skin and equally reddish small swishing tale. It was still up in the air if they would inherit their fathers horns or not.
"N-No." Liz pulled her girls closer. There was a long silence as Liz buried her nose in her girls' dark hair. "There are two kinds of monsters and you girls, and your Daddy, are not either one." She whispered.
"Two. Kinds. Of. Mon...sters?" Lyla got a big smile on her face. Liz squeezed her.
"Good job, baby girl. Yes, one type is those bad creatures who eat people. Like the ones Mommy use to help Daddy get." Liz thoughtfully tucked hair behind her daughter's ears. Loving how they got the silky texture their father has. "And the other... are... people...or beings who... take pleasure in killing people just because they can or where told to."
"And then there is the Billy Bob Monster!" Red dove at the bed, scattering the girls. Both of which half screaming half laughing, trying to get away.
"NO DADDY! NOT BILLY BOB!" Liz jumped away so she would not be in Reds path when he cornered the girls. Red caught Lyla with his right hand, pinning her to the bed while he tickled her. Roxy almost got away. Almost. But her laughter was soon to be joining Lyla's.
"And here is his twin brother Willy Bob Monster!" Roxy was down. Both girls equally suffering from the growling tickle monster. Liz sat on Lyla's bed and watched her Hunk, and what a Hunk he was, tickle the giggling girls until they were out of breath.
"Ok. Billy Bob and Willy Bob are full now." Red sat heavily on the bed, arms to the side, playing tired. Both girls jumped in his lap and he pulled them close to nuzzle their necks.
"Story now Daddy!" Red fixed Liz in a half grin over his daughters' heads.
"You were waiting for me?"
"I offered to tell them about the Golden Army but they wanted you." His smile widen, making Liz's heart skip a beat, as he pulled his girls closer.
"Is there pictures with this story Daddy?" Roxy bobbed up and down, tale swinging back and forth.
"No. This is a very special story that your Grandfather Broom told me when I was little." Both girls quieted down at the mention of their grandfather.
"Alright then." Shifting his girls to a more comfortable position, he loudly cleared his voice.
"It is said that at the dawn of time, man, beast, and all magical beings lived together under Aeglin, the Father Tree. But man had been created with a hole in his heart, a hole that no possession, power, or knowledge could fill. And in his infinite greed, man dreamed of-"
"Daddy, what is 'greed'?" Red looked down at his daughter, opening and closing his mouth a few times, before Liz stepped in.
"It is when you want to keep everything for yourself and do not share."
"Like. Roxy. And. Cheetos?" Roxy swatted at her sister who dodged it easily.
"I share." Roxy pouted. Lyla gave her sister an 'I was just kidding' smile and Roxy could not help but giggle back.
Red continued.
"...man dreamed of expanding his dominion over the entire earth. The blood of many an elf, ogre, and goblin was spilled in their war with man, and King Balor, the one-armed king of Elfland,-"
"Oo dat, Daddy?"
"The 'one-armed king'." Roxy hushed her sister, turning back to Red. He continued.
"King Balor, the one-armed king of Elfland, watched the slaughter in dread and despair. But one day, the master of the goblin blacksmiths offered to build the king a golden mechanical arm-"
"What is 'mechanical'?" Roxy turned to her mother this time. Liz could not help but smile at the look on Reds face.
"It is like a machine, baby girl. Like a computer or car." Roxy nodded her head and turned her attention back to Red.
"Golden mechanical army, seventy times seventy soldiers, that would never know hunger, and could not be stopped. Prince Nuada begged his father to agree.
"Build me this army," the king said.
So, a magical crown was forged that would allow those of royal blood to command the Golden Army, if unchallenged.
"I am King Balor, leader of the Golden Army. Is there anyone who disputes my right?" And in his throne room, no one challenged his word."
"So the world was changed, and the next time the humans marched, they felt the earth tremble beneath their feet and saw the sky darken with monstrous shapes."
"What. Kind. Of. Monsters. Are. They. Mommy?" Liz was a little surprised.
"Well…ah…I guess… the kind that kills just because they were told to." Roxy tilted her head to the side. A very confused look on her face.
"Computers were killing people?" Red snorted and Liz's lips twitched.
"No, baby girl. These monsters were a lot bigger and… had a lot more stuff in them than a computer. With arms and legs and such."
"Mommy, how do you-"
"Do you want me to finish the story?" Red sounded a little exasperated, and Liz was relieved at his intervention. His daughters nodded vigorously and settled down.
"The Golden Army had no remorse, felt no loyalty or pain. And King Balor's heart grew heavy with regret. So he called a truce and divided the crown in three pieces, one for the humans, and two for himself."
"In exchange, man would keep to the cities and the magical beings would own the forests. This truce would be honored by their sons and the sons of their sons until the end of time. But Prince Nuada did not believe in the promises of man. And it is said that he went into exile, vowing to return the day his people needed him most. So the Golden Army lay dormant, locked inside the Earth, waiting. And there it is to this day, awaiting the day the crown is made whole again. Silent,...still,...and indestructible."
Red slowly looked from one girls face to the other.
"… aaaaaand...THEN!" Everyone else in the room jumped. "Hundreds of years later, Prince Nuada returned from exile and..." Liz cleared her throat and Red glanced up.
"It is getting late, Red." He straightened his spine.
"... I will tell you the rest when you are older."
"Daddy!" They jumped up in protest.
"No. Mommy is right, it is waaaay past your bedtime and..." He glanced over at his wife. "Mommy will be mad at me if you guys do not get up when you are suppose to. Now off to bed."
Roxy snuggled under her covers and Lyla scurried over to her bed. Liz pulled the covers down then pulled them up to Lyla's little chin.
"Why. Are. My. Eyes. Different. Mommy?" Liz was a little taken aback.
"That was just how you were born baby." Liz smoothed a hand over her little stomach. Red was done tucking Roxy in and came over to stand by Liz. Lyla eyes started to water.
"But. Sissy. Has. Eyes. Like. Daddy. Gold-en. I dana ave 'nyones eyes." Her lip puckered up. Red sat on the bed, behind Liz, looking into his daughters sea green eyes.
It was true they did not expect her eyes to turn out to be green but, with all the unusual things they have seen, they were not totally surprised.
"Uh...Yes you do." Liz wiped away a tear that escaped to run down her daughters cheek. "My...mother... had green eyes." Lylas face brightened.
" 'eally!"
"Yes ma'am." Lyla giggled when Red tapped her noise with a massive finger. "Now come on little monkey and go to sleep." He pulled the covers tighter around her tiny body. Each child received a kiss goodnight from each parent before the tired parents turned out the lights and closed the door.
They would be eight years old in a few month. She jerked the water off and stepped out of the shower. Quickly Liz toweled herself dried and pulled on black night shorts and shirt. Snatching up a brush to run it through her hair in slow deliberate motions. She caught a red mass in the corner of the mirror.
"What did Abe want?" Red cautiously stepped further into the room. Testing how tense she still was.
"You know. Education. Nuala said ever since Trevor turned six, Rossa growing like a weed, and Ada starting to talk, Abe has talked nothing but starting a school for the kids. He offered to teach the girls too, wants them to come over for a few hours each day." He came over, leaning a hip against the stone counter.
"He is trying for it more with the girls turning eight and all when normally kids start school at six."
"Our girls are not 'normal'."
"Ain't that the truth?" He folded his massive arms over his even more massive chest. Liz always felt so small beside him. She brushed her hair thoughtfully.
"I think it would be good for the girls to get an education. It will better prepared for out there." Red glanced at her. "Though I do not want to take the girls out there... until I am sure they can handle being… different." They were silent for a time while Liz finished brushing her hair and went to brushing her teeth.
"What were you telling the girls when I came in?" The toothbrush froze in Liz's hand. Glancing at her husband in the mirror she sighed, spitting in the sink then rinsing out her mouth.
"Remember a few nights ago when NEWs6 was reviewing the top ten stories of the decade." Red smiled.
"Yes. The time you blew me out of the Art Exhibit building was number three." He got a little annoyed look on his face. "Better than the Earth God chunking cars." He grumbled.
"Roxy must have heard it... when they called you a monster." Red took a step closer, the grin replaced with worry.
"Hey." His hand came up to run up and down her arm in a soothing motion. Liz played with the toothbrush in her hands before putting it away.
"She wanted to know if that meant they were monsters too."
Red took her into his arms and held her close.
"What are we going to do Red? I know we cannot keep them here forever but... I do not want people to call them monsters." His nose slid just above her ear, pulling in her scent.
"We cannot change what other people may think about them, but we can sure as-"
"-sure as HECK can make sure our girls do not think they are monsters. We will do the best we can, Liz. Other than that...what else can we do?" Liz turned in Red's embrace to place a passionate kiss on his lips before snuggling into his warm chest.
"I love you."
"I love you too, babe."
"Don't call me babe." Liz growled. Reds whole chest vibrated with his chuckle. They stood there for a time, just holding onto one another.
"Yah ba-" Red grunted when Liz punched him in the solarplex. "I mean...yes, hun."
She smiled, snuggling into his chest. Red waited for Liz to talk, but she was not sure how to ask.
"What is it Liz?"
"Do you miss it? The B.P.R.D. I mean." Liz felt his chest heave in a sigh, pulling her even closer to have better access to her ear.
"Some times." He nibbles at her ear. "But nights like this...I don't."
Liz shuddered, feeling his lips pull back in a lazy smile.
"When... you never told me...what happened when you... died?" He was a little taken aback. Red cocked his head to the side. Staring off into the distance.
"I remember...was in a dark place... I saw... heard... your voice." Liz waited for him to continue. Reds eyes focused on her face. A soft smile spreading across his face. "You called me a big ape."
Liz smiled.
"Then you told me I was going to be a father." I looked at him then. Dark brown meeting golden. Liz sighed, leaning her forehead against his.
"You brought me back, Liz." Liz's face burned. After all these years she still blushed when his voice dropped to that husky rumble.
"I did not want the babies to-"
"Mommy? Daddy?" Red jerked his head and Liz peered around a massive shoulder. Standing in their bathroom door, with a little blanket tucked under an arm, was Lyla.
"Lyla, baby girl, what are you doing up?" Red watched as the love of his life tenderly scooped their daughter into her arms. Who would have thought, when he first met her, that this hard woman could just melt at that one word. Mommy.
"I couldn't sleep."
"Why is that?" Red walked up and smoothed the hair down her back. Lyla laid her head on her mothers shoulder, hitting Liz in the face with her blanket when she wrapped her little arms around her neck.
"Scary Elves." She whispered. Liz pushed the fluffy red blanket aside to fix Red in a 'Great Job' look. He threw his arms in a 'what did I do' his mouth working. His hand gesturing to him then her then him again still not able to come up with a good excuse. Finally he sighed in defeat.
"Oh come on." Red scooped Lyla up swinging her around piggyback style, her little legs protruding out on each side, before bobbing towards the door. "Daddy will take care of those 'Scary Elves'. Say night to mommy."
"Night mommy!" Lyla giggled before they were out the door.
Liz's heart warmed as she watched her Hunk bob their giggling daughter on his shoulders …then…
"And you,...my dear...will suffer more than anyone."
Liz's legs gave out, landing her on the bed, as tears filled her eyes. As soon as they were out of the room Liz let louse the tears that single phrase crossed her mind again.
Liz laid on her side and curled her knees to her chest, letting the silent sobs rake her body. She tried to stop when she felt a warm arm encircle her, and pull her against a familiar massive body, but they kept coming. She pulled the massive hands even closer. Cradling them under her chin. Gliding her fingers carefully across the back of the hand, down the wrist, up the arm a bit, then back. She stopped at his wrist.
"Where is father's [beads]?" Liz felt his heavy breath on her neck.
"Lyla." He nuzzled her neck. "She would not go to bed because she was scared so... I let her sleep with fathers [beads]. Told her they kept me safe when I was fighting monsters."
Liz half smiled. She turned to Red and pulled closer. His hand slid up and down her back in a calming motion.
"What is wrong?" He murmured in her hair.
"What world did we bring our girls into?" Liz mumbled.
Red did not have an answer so he didn't.
"I did not know your mother had green eyes." He felt a slight wetness on his chest.
"She didn't." Liz's body shuddered on a sob and Red held her to him.

Story and photos by Jim Kerr
New technologies and new vehicles hit the road every day. We see only a few of the vehicles that are sold elsewhere in the world on our roads. Some of these vehicles don't suit our needs. Others use low sulphur diesel fuel that we will only have available next year. Canadian drivers may desire some of these vehicles but the manufacturers won't import them unless the United States market also wants them. The cost of providing warranty, technical training, tools and support to just the Canadian market is often too high: they need to sell to the North American market. And finally, some vehicles are just not safe.
There are a few drivers who do get to drive these vehicles on Canadian roads. They are members of Transport Canada's Advanced Technology Vehicles Program and they have the job of testing, evaluating and showcasing more than 118 very unique vehicles. Since the program inception in 2001, they have tested every type of vehicle, from pure electric to alternate fuels, to hybrids.
There are several goals of the Advanced Technology Vehicles Program. They include evaluating fuel efficiency, emissions and safety performance of these vehicles, identifying the market potential of advanced technologies, identifying barriers to using advanced technologies and proposing solutions, and raising public awareness of the advanced technologies available on current vehicles and vehicles of the future. To demonstrate the potential of some of these vehicles, Transport Canada brought a small fleet of vehicles to Belleville, Ontario last fall for automotive journalists to drive. Here are some highlights of what we saw.
Smart Roadster
Many of the vehicles being evaluated are currently on the road in Europe. You may be familiar with the quirky little Smart car that looks like an egg on the road. This is only a two-seater, but Smart also makes a 4-door, 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel sedan and a small 2-seater roadster. The sedan has ample room for four and the six-speed automatic
transmission shifts much better than the two-door Smart now sold in Canada. The Smart roadster is really an economy car, perfect for top down motoring back and forth to work.
The Ford Focus TDCi use a 1.8-litre four cylinder turbocharged intercooled engine that performs extremely well. I know there is a market for this car in Canada, but the U.S. isn't quite ready for it yet. Perhaps rising fuel costs south of the border will entice some to seek the 4.6 litre/100 km fuel economy this car provides.
Both the PT Cruiser and Chrysler Voyager use diesel power. The Voyager is a little noisier at idle than a gas engine but as quiet on the highway. The Voyager diesel engine is quicker than a V6 gas engine yet provides 52% better fuel economy.
Honda also builds a diesel. An Accord Tourer I-CTDI (station wagon) has an all aluminium 4-cylinder diesel that reduces fuel consumption by 30% and CO2 emissions by 22% yet still accelerates from 0-100 in just 10.4 seconds.
In Japan, they have K-class cars. It must have an engine smaller than 600 cc. The Daihatsu Copen is a wonderful looking 2-seat sports car with a retractable hard top in this class, proving that small economy cars can be good looking and fun too. No problem parking this one!
Other test vehicles in the past have included hybrids such as the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight as well as others. Electric vehicles such as the Ford Ranger EV have been evaluated, and even pedal powered vehicles have been tested. Some vehicles have four wheels, some have three, and some even have two. One of the Transport Canada test drivers told me of a 3-wheel vehicle that was so unstable to drive they determined it would never be allowed into Canada. Protecting the public and our environment is part of their mandate.
Driving the vehicles is only a small part of evaluating them. The vehicles undergo emissions testing, fuel economy testing and finally, crash testing. What is left of the vehicles after all testing is exported back to where it came from, or recycled.
You won't find these vehicles in any showroom close to you. Most will never come to Canada in their current form but the technology in them will soon be on our roads is newer designs. The Advanced Technology Vehicles Program participates in special events across Canada to demonstrate the viability of alternative vehicles for the future. Be sure to check out the vehicles if one comes to your area.

'"I'm taking an eye of watching what happens on the road, how things work," Pegula said. "I'm trying not to be a distraction. I don't want to be one but I've talked to the coaches and Darcy [General Manager Darcy Regier] and they said, 'No, you're not that and in fact it's the other way around. We think you should be here.'"'

Pretty good stuff here. Only complaint I have is you could use a pop filter. I use a sock stretched over a coat hanger. Free if you have a bent coat hanger and a pair of socks you never wear.
I'm glad you hear you have a job you like, but saddened to hear you're taking a bit of a break. I always love listening to your stuff. I suppose though, more wait is just more time to anticipate! :)
Thinking of composing something for NGADM or AIM when the time comes. I've had more time on my hands aside from moderating.
Seriously though, pop filter. At points my eardrums were twitching from the peaks. Even a sock and coat hanger with some clothes pins for clip does the trick, and works waaaay better than the fuzzy foam filters. Works out in favor of far less post production and lets you have more free reign with vocal EQ.
Aww thanks! :3 Yeah I feel ya, sorry lol

Ed Fucking's Review of Chinese Torture Chamber Story
Chinese Torture Chamber Story(1995)
Wacky Cat III ultra-violent sleazy perversity. You can expect gratuitous sadistic violence. Gratuitous perverse sexuality. And Gratuitous sadistic perverse sexual violence. At the heart their is a fairly effective, albeit painstakingly cheesy love story. And an exterior of completely devoid of any modicum of taste humour. While I applaud this movie for its complete lack of regard for classification or audience, it is a jarring experience which leaves the viewer unsure of how they sould be reacting to everything thats going on. I think the point is to just take it for what it is, and decide for yourself whether your disgusted or enjoying yourself. I for one definently did enjoy myself, which raises the question of whether I really am just a sick weirdo Whatever. I would only recommend this for the morally flexible. If you find yourself taking offence to things a lot of the time you would do well to avoid this, and any other Cat III film.

September 25, 2014 | the age / ABC News
Some asylum seekers could eventually be given permanent residency in a deal reached between Clive Palmer and Immigration Minister Scott Morrison to allow the reintroduction of temporary protection visas and remove all asylum seekers from Christmas Island.
As part of the deal, apart from of the reintroduction of a three-year temporary protection visa, the federal government will also introduce a new five-year visa – called the Safe Haven Enterprise Visa – that will allow asylum seekers to eventually apply for other onshore visas.
The visa will allow asylum seekers to be granted onshore visas, such as family and skilled visas as well as temporary skilled and student visas.
This means that asylum seekers could eventually be given permanent residency if they fulfil the requirements of the other onshore visas
In a press conference in Brisbane, Mr Palmer announced 1500 people will be moved from Christmas Island to mainland Australia as part of the deal with the government.
"It's also a good thing that it doesn't have people locked in a ghetto situation with no hope for themselves or their family," he told reporters in Brisbane.
Mr Morrison told reporters in Canberra that the two visa options – the TPV and the Safe Haven Enterprise Visa – would only be offered to
people who are already in Australia and found to be refugees. Mr Morrison said it would not apply to anyone on Nauru, Manus or who arrived in Australia now.
Under the Safe Haven Enterprise Visa, asylum seekers who are found to be refugees would have to live and work in a regional area.
Under this visa, they could then apply for a range of other visas including a skilled migration visa, which could eventually lead to permanent residency in Australia.
"It means that if they do go to those places and they do work for 3.5 years out of the five, then they may make an onshore application for what could be a student visa, it could be a 457 visa but they would have to meet the eligibility requirements of those visas," Mr Morrison said.
When asked whether there will be a cap placed on the number of of the five-year visas, Mr Morrison said the government hadn't decided whether that would be necessary.
"We haven't considered whether a cap might be necessary," he said. "And the flow of people will depend upon the assessment process and how many people are found to be refugees or not."
Mr Morrison also touched on the Cambodia resettlement agreement, which he will sign in Phnom Penh on Friday, saying the deal would only be for refugees who voluntarily choose to permanently resettle in the impoverished country.
"There will be no surprise. The arrangement is strictly voluntary. Anyone who chooses to go to Cambodia will have chosen themselves to go to Cambodia," he said.
"Support will be tailored to the needs of those as part of the package of measures that will go to their resettlement which is designed to make them self-reliant as quickly as possible.
"This will be an ongoing developing relationship. This is a country, Australia, who has the best record on resettlement of any country proudly in the world, working together with another refugee signatory country in our region to help them develop the capability to resettle refugees."
Greens immigration spokeswoman Sarah Hanson Young said Mr Palmer had been "played", calling the Safe Haven Enterprise visa a "furphy".
"Most people won't get it," she said. "Most people won't be able to be eligible for any type of transfer to permanency, and so they will be back in permanent limbo."
Seantor Hanson-Young said she believed most asylum seekers would not be eligible for the new visa.
"I think Clive Palmer has well and truly been played. I think he took on something that was too complex and too big for him to handle."
The Migration and Maritime Powers Legislation Amendment (Resolving the Asylum Legacy Caseload) Bill 2014:
- introduces temporary protection visas for unauthorised arrivals already in detention
- creates a new visa class of safe haven enterprise visa
- deems that if an asylum seeker has a current permanent protection visa application in train that it be instead considered an application for a TPV
- creates a fast-track assessment process for those who arrived on or after August 13, 2012, by removing access to the Refugee Review Tribunal and referring reviews instead to a new Immigration Assessment Authority
- removes most references to the UN Refugees Convention and replaces it with Australia's interpretation of its obligations under the convention
- classifies children born to asylum seekers in Australia or a regional processing centre as "unauthorised maritime arrivals" to be blocked from applying for permanent visas, and resettled offshore
- allows the Government to remove people who fail to gain refugee status, without regard to assessments of Australia's non-refoulement obligations (refoulement being the international legal principle forbidding the return of a refugee anywhere their life or freedom could be threatened)
- deems that a person has a well-founded fear if they face a "real chance" of persecution in all areas of a receiving country, and says decision-makers should consider whether the person can access an area where they do not face a real threat of persecution
- puts a cap on the number of protection visas that can be issued in a year (which circumvents a High Court ruling earlier this year invalidating that approach)
- give the Immigration Minister more powers to direct boat turnbacks
- provide that the rules of natural justice do not apply to a range of powers, including the Immigration Minister's new powers
- allows a boat or people to be taken to a place outside Australia, whether or not Australia has an agreement or arrangements with the country
- ensures the Government's policies cannot be invalidated by the courts for not complying with international obligations
