Frank Moorhouse pursues his fleeting memories through the gates of the Great Hall of the University of Sydney to the far eastern corner of the Quadrangle, and into a room largely unchanged since he was 17.
It's here, among the traditional wooden desks and bench chairs of an old lecture room, that Moorhouse attended evening classes in philosophy, taught by the late Professor John Anderson, a cult figure among students of his time.
Moorhouse, 75, is the noted writer of Australian literature, whose best known fictional creation is Edith Campbell Berry, the idealistic interwar heroine of Grand Daysand its fat sequels Dark Palace and Cold LightThe trilogy has collected just about every major literary prize in Australia including the Miles Franklin.
His new book, Australia under Surveillance, is a rare work of non-fiction, wrapping a critique of censorship and anti-terrorism laws in a passionate defence of democratic freedoms during a time of religious-inspired terrorism.
Across the Quad is the meeting room where Moorhouse first came to the attention of ASIO and so tripped a lifetime of thinking about the excesses of Australia's spy agencies.
But back in 1956 Moorhouse was a country boy from Nowra High School, reading Plato and working afternoon shifts as a cadet journalist for the Daily Telegraph. He lasted one term.
Remembering his bewildered, younger self, Moorhouse feels a twinge of sadness. "I wasn't ready for [university]," he says. Moorhouse found the sandstone institution intimidating. No one in his family had set foot on a university campus before and most of the kids he knew were destined to work in the coalmines or the steelworks.
These days, of course, Moorhouse knows his way to the Manning Bar as well as he does the High Table of Kings College, Cambridge. He is a former Woodrow Wilson Scholar and Senior Fulbright Fellow, and early next year the University of Sydney will confer on him the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters.
It's one of those strange loops in Moorhouse's life that the writer reflects on silently as he wanders the empty Philosophy Room, reading the scratchings of former students and discovering a few that pre-date his arrival. "They're not very clever," he observes.
This is our third attempt to meet. Moorhouse has been laid low by atypical pneumonia, and is "85 per cent" well, still bothered by a cough and a tremor in his right hand.
His preoccupation with ASIO's beefed-up internet surveillance powers brings him out on a blustery cold day when his doctor recommends he should be indoors.
"I'm struggling to get a sense of proportion," he says of the recent raids that netted a plastic ceremonial sword. "Regardless of how [ASIO] want to be seen as being in control, they get caught up in political panic and moral panic and the excitement of the chase, and the game. Are we legislating ourselves into a burning house, to quote Martin Luther King?
"It seems increasingly likely that this connect, the increased status and role of ASIO and the security agencies, will end very badly."'
ASIO and Moorhouse have a "long mutual history" that began when the curious cadet journalist attended a meeting of the communist-dominated Labour Club.
If he had known at the time ASIO had opened a file on him he would have been "scared out of my wits". Moorhouse saw himself as a Fabian socialist, and an atheist.
Later he came to the agency's attention as an unsuccessful applicant for Commonwealth Literary Fund grants and a peacenik with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
During a pause in writing Cold Light, Moorhouse applied for his ASIO file and received access to one of 13 volumes. The folio of 13 typewritten pages was scrubbed of any identifying names of agents and informers, and came in an anodyne presentation jacket titled Your Story, Our History.
Someone was watching him, he discovered, when he joined the ABC aged 28, his last full-time journalism job before securing a three-book deal with his first short story collection, Futility and Other Animals.
In 1969 ASIO gave Moorhouse clearance to cover military exercises in the Coral Sea. It bothers him still that that even a well-intentioned mistake could have spelled the end of his journalism or blocked the literary grants that sustained his writing during the 1970s.
"There would have been lots of time in my life when I would have been very angry. I thought, do we need this kind surveillance and how much damage does it do to people who are not a threat? How many mistakes are made? How many careers are interfered with? Somehow it degrades society or damages civil dignity to think that there are people in your office [watching you]."
Missing from the ASIO file was any reference to Moorhouse's bisexuality. In the early spring of the '60s sexual revolution, shames and secrets were the trade of spies. Gay men were deemed blackmail risks.
"There was no reference to my sexual life in so far as I had one," Moorhouse says, "but I did my best. I devoted a bit of time to it." He chuckles. "Like every waking moment."
He adds: "In my life there have been situations, sexual situations, which would have interested an old-style ASIO, or a new style ASIO."
Moorhouse was 40 when he went public with his sexual unorthodoxy. "I thought it hypocritical and self-harming not to be open about oneself with those who were curious, and to be secretive was to reinforce stigmas that existed."
His writing ethic of frank disclosure has drawn appreciation from young gay men who have visited his early experimental, explicit works. Moorhouse's penchant for honesty is evident in the autobiographical essay, I,initiation, published in the latest edition of Southerly journal, in which Moorhouse tries to make sense of the solo treks he takes into wilderness country, carrying no more than a compass, map, tent, food and a flask of bourbon whiskey.
One answer Moorhouse offers up for this compulsive, ritualistic adventuring is an injury that occurred during a cub scout induction ceremony when he was 12 years old: falling from a tree he tore his genitals. It deeply affected him.
He reverts to Freud to draw symbolism from the fall. "It probably tells me more about myself than I know," says Moorhouse, who has spent many years trying to walk the difficult terrain of his "tangled, difficult almost unlivable unconscious and its nature, its demands and commands."
Writing is a strange business, he muses. "It requires a detachment, a risk of his own psyche and commitment of self. My sort of writer has to serve the gods of self-awareness. The more aware we are of our own reality, our inner reality and the reality of the world around us, the safer we are."
At the core of Moorhouse's distrust of ASIO lies a deep aversion to authority: to his parents, moral conservatives who might have sided with the Attorney General George Brandis, to teachers, and to bosses.
A one-time trade union organiser, Moorhouse joined a campaign of civil disobedience against sexual censorship, and spent time in police cells.
His absolutist position of perfect free speech did not outlast the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Bali nightclubs. Terrorism is a real threat to public safety, he says, but he draws line at the battle talk and the erosion of hard-won legal safeguards as the right to silence and the right to a lawyer.
Australians must learn to live with a certain level of disquiet, he says.
Much of Moorhouse's political thinking has been shaped in the commission of four long essays for Griffith Reviewincluding the multi-award-winning critique of anti-terrorism and sedition laws, The Writer in a Time of Terror.
Australia Under Surveillance, however, proved stubbornly difficult to write. History kept threatening to overrun the page. Moorhouse made late rewrites to accommodate ASIO's upgraded terror warnings and a month before publication the largest anti-terrorist action in Australia's history took place involving raids on dozens of homes in NSW and Queensland by 870 federal and state police.
"I had a crisis of confidence and I had the crisis of handling the material, the purely professional demands of relating it to the daily events, but also trying to realise it had to do with the big questions we've been dealing with for hundreds of years. I kept coming to the edge of my knowledge and understanding. I know I missed a few deadlines."
Moorhouse's next novel brings him back to the world of fictional spies. The Book of Ambrose will tell the story of Major Ambrose Westwood, Edith's cross-dressing British spy husband.
"I sometimes see it starting with Ambrose the night before he gets on the train to Geneva and meets Edith. Obviously, she delights him and she is complicit in his sexuality more than she understands, he is part of her sexuality."
Even in fiction, Moorhouse is prone to lapses in confidence. "Sometimes I get up in the middle of the night and pull down a volume of Grand Days and open it up at random and read a chapter [for validation]. Generally, I come away thinking, that's not bad at all."
Australia Under Surveillance is published by Vintage Australia, $32.99.
And another thing
Moorhouse's first published short story was about a high school student who finishes his exams on the day nuclear war breaks out.

As Portage County, the state and many other communities nationwide find themselves in the grips of a heroin and prescription opioid epidemic, health educators in the county are working with other community organizations to battle misconceptions about addiction.
"Addiction truly is a disease," Townhall II clinical services director Rob Young told a crowd of 40 gathered Sept. 24 at the Hiram Christian Church. "It is a brain disease."
He and other health professionals were on hand at one of three planned Start Talking! Portage events.
The initiative is a partnership of the Mental Health & Recovery Board of Portage County and Portage County Health District, in cooperation with multiple public organizations and municipalities.
The American Medical Association also says addiction is a disease, like diabetes or heart disease.
In Portage County, it is likely that 8 percent to 10 percent -- or about 14,000 people -- have the disease of addiction, Young said.
In an addict, "the brain has decided that substance is so important, it fools the judgment center and the brain justifies the use," he said.
Fortunately, Young said, "we have a pretty good idea how to treat it."
Eliminating stigma
Karyn Hall, director of community relations for the MHRB, said she wants to help dispense with the opinion that addiction is a choice.
Most cases of addiction develop before age 21, and children who have suffered trauma such as child abuse are two to four times more likely to develop it, she said.
The current focus of efforts in Portage County is on opioid use, abuse and dependence. Opioids include illegal drugs such as heroin, but also prescription painkillers such as codeine, fentanyl, methadone, morphine and oxycodone.
An estimated 80 percent of heroin addicts start off taking one or more of these drugs, develop a tolerance over as little as six weeks but remain unable to combat the emotional and physical pain they feel, Hall said.
That's when they turn to heroin, which is "cheap and easy to get," and has a high addiction and relapse rate, Mantua police Sgt. Joe Urso said.
More Ohioans now die from accidental drug overdoses than car crashes, which has been the pattern since 2007, Hall said.
In Portage County, the number of fatal accidental drug overdoses went from five in 2011 to 30 in 2015, according to the Portage County coroner's office.
Already this year 31 people have died from a fatal accidental drug overdose, she said.
An estimated 40 million Americans over age 12 battle addiction -- more than the number who have heart disease or cancer, she said.
Another 70 percent to 80 percent of all prison inmates in the United States have a history of addiction, she said. Jails and prisons, including the Portage County Jail, have become the only detoxification and withdrawal facilities available in many communities.
The MHRB funds numerous addiction and mental health programs in schools and in the public sector, and assists county courts in providing placement for criminal offenders with addiction problems.
Young and Hall said Portage County does not have a detox facility to handle its population of those with addiction. For now, the MHRB pays for those with addiction to go to detox programs in Akron or Canton.
The health department has for a year now been sponsoring Project DAWN -- Deaths Avoided With Naloxone -- which provides kits that can save the life of a person overdosing on opioids by blocking receptors in the brain, said Becky Lehman of the Portage County Health District.
Naloxone, also known as Narcan, is "completely safe" and can stop both accidental overdoses from illegal opioids like heroin and those from the accidental ingestion of prescription opioid narcotics.
The use of Narcan is "not enabling," Lehman said. "What we're doing is providing an opportunity for that person to seek and obtain help for their addiction ... we're hoping what we're doing is giving people a chance at life."
While they can be effective, treating pain in ways other than medically prescribing potentially addictive opioid painkillers is another step the medical community needs to take to combat addiction, Young said.
Painkillers "distance you from emotional pain" just as they do from physical pain, he said.
Acupuncture, biofeedback, guided imagery and virtual reality treatments are proved to work in reducing pain, Young said.
Medically assisted treatments such as the opioid agonist suboxone and the opioid antagonist Vivitrol or naltrexone "in conjunction with behavioral treatment has shown to be effective," he said.

While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Dodge vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to repair your car or truck. Dodge automobile owners have come to expect a certain level of reliable transport when driving their Caliber around town. Obviously, you bought your Caliber because you knew that you wanted great performance and great value both impeccably combined into one vehicle. Car aficionados appreciate the a quality brand built into each Dodge, and understand that only top quality repair Caliber parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing.
We may take this for granted, but it wasn't until the 1950s that vehicles were equipped with reliable air conditioning. The lifeblood of the air conditioning system is a refrigerant called R134a. The refrigerant emits cold air after a simple thermal reaction, and it creates a slight excess of water as it travels through all the HVAC components on your Dodge Caliber. Between your A/C condenser and the expansion valve is the receiver drier, and it absorbs the water in the line and stores it in a desiccant so the refrigerant can cool your interior. Any time you perform work on your air conditioning system, you must change your Dodge Caliber A/C receiver drier or accumulator.
Don't let a broken A/C Receiver Drier & Accumulator spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the highest quality replacement parts. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Dodge Caliber part for your needs. Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy. When it comes to Dodge Caliber A/C Receiver Drier & Accumulator parts, you can find them for 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Kimberley - A senior official in the Northern Cape Department of Education, Nerina Smith, who allegedly stole R3.8 million from Child Welfare, was spending up to R28 000 a day at the Flamingo Casino in Kimberley.
The financial impact of the theft crippled the organisation in the Province, affecting thousands of children as well as halting services rendered.
It also had a massive effect on the national body, which has been forced to sell its head office building in Johannesburg.
Smith, 40, of 4 Donald Street, Utility, who is facing 158 charges of theft, was employed as a professional bookkeeper at Child Welfare. It is alleged that she transferred government money meant for programmes in the Province, into her own personal accounts at First National Bank and Standard Bank between August 2009 and December 2011.
A senior financial investigator with the National Prosecutions Authority (NPA), Jacobus Smit, testified in the Kimberley Regional Court on Monday that he had been charged with investigating the assets of Smith, including doing an analysis of her bank account at First National Bank. It is not in dispute that funds from Child Welfare were deposited into Smith's FNB account.
"According to the bank statements, there were a total of 382 debit card purchases, totalling R1 299 500, between the period from September 2008 to November 2011, at the Flamingo Casino."
Smith said there were also three purchases at the Grand West Casino in Cape Town totalling R9 000.
He testified that money had also been transferred from Smith's FNB account to other accounts, but he was unable to access the account holders involved because he did not have the authority to do so. The total transfers to other banks amounted to around R260 000.
He explained that the debit card purchases at the casino meant the card was tendered at a teller point at the casino itself on the gambling floor.
"Initially the daily rate of the gambling started off at around R1 000 but this systematically increased to more frequent and larger withdrawals and sometimes as much as R28 000 a day was withdrawn at the casino."
According to the investigator, sometimes four to five withdrawals of up to R5 000 were made on a single day.
"It eventually became a habit, and she was visiting the casino two to three times a week, if one looks at the date of the withdrawals."
Beatrix Marais, the national director of Child Welfare South Africa, explained that the money that went missing was earmarked for a child protection programme, Isolabantwana (Eye on the Child), whereby volunteers in crèches were trained to work with vulnerable children in the Province.
"As a result of these offences, money earmarked for stipends for volunteers disappeared. Educators at crèches, who were identified to attend training in Upington, could also not participate in this training because of the lack of funds."
She pointed out that around 300 educators had been identified for training that was intended to better the lives of little ones in the Province.
"If you consider that each teacher deals with 40 plus children, it means that approximately 12 000 children suffered directly because of the missing funds."
Almost all Child Welfare services in the Province came to a standstill for more than six months.
"The government withdrew its subsidies and money from organisations like Lotto and other funders also didn't materialise.
"Backers looked at the financial statements and picked up that money had disappeared, so they stopped funding projects and as a result there was no money to pay salaries."
All social workers in the Province resigned, as did most auxiliary workers. "The offices couldn't operate because there was no money for administration costs. In January 2012, there was only R29 000 left in the bank."
Marais stated that the Department of Social Welfare's relationship with Child Welfare, which had been built on trust, became non-existent.
"Eventually after much negotiations, the department agreed to continue part of our subsidy but the money was given to Famsa to administer, which meant that all Child Welfare administration services in the Province came to a standstill.
"There was no money for cars or petrol, or any accounts, like telephones or anything else.
"We are trying to pick up the pieces but it is very hard because we need to build up our relationships once again. All development programmes have also come to a standstill for the last three years due to the lack of funding."
The situation also affected Child Welfare nationally as funders dried up.
"Our head office building will be auctioned later this month and we also had to sell another building in order to get funds to continue delivering services and paying salaries."
Marais added that while there were procedures and policies in place to counteract fraud and theft, "but unfortunately for the amount of money that went missing, the government never did any inspection for three years. I don't know why but for three years that process wasn't followed and none of us in senior positions were aware that it had not been done."
She explained that the missing money had been allocated to the government-funded Isolabantwana project. Other funds, given by USAid, for an Aids project called, Asibavikele, were not touched.
"When people asked Smith for the money earmarked for the Isolabantwana project, she told them there was no money available and asked them where they expected her to get the money from."
Marais pointed out that the money stolen was earmarked to assist the poorest of the poor in the Province.
"In towns like Sutherland, where there are 480 families, 400 of these are on Child Welfare's case loads.
"In the Northern Cape, the Kimberley office is the only so-called developed branches. The others are all developing. Many of these are run by auxiliary workers or community members who are training to help with child protection services, and the services we offer are for babies that are not even born yet (in adoption cases) to young people up to the age of 18 years."
She added that although Smith's pension fund indicated that Child Welfare could put in a claim for compensation if it obtained the necessary court order, there was only about R95 000 in the pension fund.
Smith also doesn't have any assets.
The possibility of compensation is therefore very slight.
The defence, represented by Wiehan de Bruin, on Smith's instruction did not cross-examine the two witnesses and also did not call any witnesses in Smith's defence.
The case was postponed until next month and Smith was warned to appear in court on the due date.
Santie Bourquin appeared on behalf of the State.
It is believed that Smith is currently the assistant financial head of the Education Department.

With all the PGA Tour tournaments going on this week and things like birdie-birdie-birdie-eagle happening to our day, the LPGA Fields Open might get lost in the mix, as it usually should.
The one thing that is making it a little different is the fact that corpse Michelle Wie actually posted a respectable round Thursday. Wie made six birdies and three bogeys on her way to a first round 69, the first sub-70 round since 2006.
According to the Yahoo Sports article Wie was has decided to live by some catch phrases or something this year.
Those include "having nothing to prove to anyone, enjoying life, forgetting about last year, and not getting ahead of yourself."
I have to say, when you're making in the $10 million a year range from sponsors, living by shit like "enjoying life" is probably a little easier than, say, the guy that had to write that Yahoo Sports article. Again, celebrities and athletes - extremely well-rounded.

Even before he'd made his Super Rugby debut, David Pocock was making news in Australian rugby.
Except you didn't know him as David Pocock initially – on one January afternoon in 2006, he was Zander Peden.
The key figure in the Wallabies' bid to beat the All Blacks in the Rugby World Cup final, Pocock has played like a man among boys at times this tournament, stamping himself as the most-influential player in world rugby.
But it was his time as a boy, ready to play with the men, which first alerted some to this complex character.
As an already muscular 17-year-old, who earned the nickname Bam Bam, Pocock was banned from making his Super Rugby debut.
Just as he is the first to the breakdown, ready to pilfer possession on a weekly basis, Pocock was simply ahead of everyone else but rules dictated he wasn't allowed to take the field until his 18th birthday.
He did anyway, playing a trial for the Western Force against the Cheetahs under the name of Zander Peden, who had been named but subsequently ruled out through injury.
The only problem was a Sydney newspaper ran a giant photo from the trial match and, despite only getting on the field for 10 minutes, Pocock featured prominently and an Australian Rugby Union (ARU) staff member quickly cottoned on to the ruse.
"That didn't go well for the Force," he smiles.
"There was a bit of carry on and they said you had to be 18 to play."
He sat out much of the season, playing instead for Australia at the under-19s World Cup in Dubai, before making his full debut after his 18th birthday in the final round of the season.
Soon after, the rules were changed and 17-year-olds Kurtley Beale and James O'Connor were the beneficiaries.
In the ensuing decade, the Zimbabwean-born star has divided public opinion over his diverse world views – while helping to unite Australian rugby thanks to his incredible on-field talent.
He played for the Force for seven seasons before making an emotional move to the Brumbies, where he's been for the past three years.
He's captained the Wallabies and had his career halted for two years by torn ACLs in the same knee in successive seasons, but attacked his rehab with such vigour that he, seemingly, has come back even stronger and Australia's World Cup hopes rest on his broad shoulders.
"It seems like a long time. It's been an amazing journey," Pocock admits.
Pocock has also been a polarising figure who appears more at home discussing goals like eliminating homophobia in sport and championing the use of clean energy – though his love of rugby is often underrated because of his extra-curricular activities.
His interests outside rugby have rubbed people the wrong way, notably when he was arrested last year after chaining himself to mining equipment in a coal protest, incurring a warning from the ARU.
He's been challenged over his open views on homophobia in sport, and was criticised in some quarters for calling out Jacques Potgieter mid-game over a homophobic sledge, which led to the NSW Waratahs' forward copping a $20,000 fine.
Even with the biggest match of his career looming, Pocock on Thursday couldn't resist a cheeky pot-shot at former prime minister Tony Abbott over the asylum seeker debate on Twitter.
Pocock truly loves rugby union, and credits it with teaching him about teamwork, discipline and trust, as well as being the way he made friends after arriving in Australia as a 14-year-old.
He believes he's found the right balance, even if his vegetable garden has been badly neglected following a busier-than-usual schedule this World Cup year.
But how would he like to be remembered?
As a World Cup winner, and player of the tournament, as could eventuate on Saturday?
Or as an activist who tried to change the world and wasn't afraid to cop public criticism on controversial issues?
"I'll leave that to other judges. We'll wait and see," he says.

Digimon Chapter: Reunion is the second story in the Digimon Chapter Series. It sets around Winter, 3 years after Digimon Scan Seperators. Ilona is absent since she moved to another country.
Posted 17th July 2009.
It's been over 10 years since Luke, Jacob and Sam first stepped into the Digital World, they are about to set back for one last time.
"He's back." One Digimon, covered by darkness told another.
"Not possible, he was destroyed Three times, THREE." The other Digimon was quite shocked.
The first Digimon, confirmed to be a Darkdramon opened a portal, to show the other Digimon, ClavisAngemon. In it layed a sleeping Kuramon.
"The Digital World will be warned. The saviours will return."
ClavisAngemon flew off, Darkdramon struck his chest, wishing luck to the Holy Digimon.
Chapter 1
Posted 17th July 2009.
"Now, kids." A teacher said, standing behind his desk. "I'll be going on a holiday for a week. You'll have a cover teacher."
A child in the class put up his hand.
"But, sir, he dosent know about the Digital World. Were designing our own Digimon, remember."
The teacher smiled.
"I made a template for a website, do as much as you can this lesson. That's what your doing with the cover teacher."
"Yes, sir!" The children said and started tapping away at the computers.
Luke, now aged 23, is the Head of ICT of the school he and Jacob used to attend. All of the students respect him and his knowledge of the Digital World. He promises them to take them there someday, so they always get their hopes up.
"Now, guys" A slightly short man for his age said, pacing infront of them. "You bravery is going to be coached by someone else, cause' I'm going on holiday."
One of the men saluted.
"But, sir. Were very used to you, we don't want another person!"
"Then, I guess it's just another test of bravery, isnt it? Oh, and don't call me sir. Call me Jacob!"
Jacob, 22, has set up his own academy so people who are very cowardly can have their bravery testing to be strong, he warns them, as a test, that he will send them the same place Ghoulmon took him, The Nightmare Dimension, to face their worst fear. He also has a medical degree so he can fix and cast broken bones.
"I guess I'll finish this one on holiday." A man sitting with a notebook and pen said, looking at his work. "Better send an E-mail to my publisher to tell him. Now where's T.K's address?"
Sam, also 23, now a well renowned Best-Selling Author, writes about his experiences in the Digital World, much like T.K, who is now his publisher. He also writes about subjects like Friendship and how Intelligence isn't something to be ashamed of.
At the airport, Luke, Sam and Jacob finally met again.
Chapter 2
Added 20th July 2009
It was a long flight to the sunny island that nobody knew about. Jacob managed to hire a private plane to take them there.
It wasent long until they arrived, it was a deserted island with one building, a huge house, Jacob had told them. When they reached the island, it was a clump of Sand. Everyone was furious at Jacob, but he was confused, too.
"I swear." He said. "This was massive last month!"
Luke and Sam walked towards the plane when a green portal came, they all recognized it and smiled, they ran into it.

A year later, he talks about the liver transplant operation that saved his life.
"I was lucky," said Steve Jobs in brief remarks Friday in support of a new California organ donation bill. "Because many others died waiting for a transplant."
After being introduced as "the Steve" by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Apple's (aapl) CEO spoke for only the second time in public about the liver transplant he received in great secrecy last year, answering in the process several of the questions that swirled around the operation at the time -- including when it happened and why it happened in Memphis.
"I was receiving great care here in Stanford," he said, "but there were simply not enough livers to go around. And my doctors here advised me to enroll in a transplant program in Memphis, Tenn., where the supply/demand ratio is more favorable than it is here in California. And I was lucky enough to get a liver in time. As a matter of fact, this coming week is my one year anniversary."
A video of the event is available here through the San Jose Mercury News and posted below the fold.
<!-- more -->
Jobs explained that last year in California there were 671 liver transplants and 3,400 people who needed new livers -- 400 of whom died before they could get one. "I was almost one of the ones that died waiting for a liver in California last year," he told a group gathered at Stanford's Lucille Packard Children's Hospital.
The bill Jobs supports -- SB 1395 -- would require that the California motor vehicles department ask drivers applying for or renewing a license whether they want to become an organ donor. Today, Jobs said, "Nobody's going to ask you. Nobody's going to give you this opportunity."
In his remarks, Schwarzenegger said Jobs was instrumental in securing the governor's official support. "Steve Jobs told my wife about his transplant and she talked to me. Then we had great phone conversations back and forth. ... He knew that others don't have a plane waiting for them to get to a transplant."
Below: The video. Jobs' remarks begin at the 12:48 mark.

text: So as you all know the midcard is like, a mess. There's now two belts and nobody know what to do with them and 50/50 booking is WWE's trying to fix that problem and the result is some of the most predictable, safest things I've seen in television. But how do we or I fix that? The first course of action, is defining what the United States and Intercontinental Championships represent. I would make the Intercontinental Championship back to what it's original purpose was, the stepping stone belt, the title you win and it gives the audience the idea that you're going to be a world champion one day. Look at the Intercontinental Champions of the 90's and look at the champions of the 2000's. The Intercontinental Champions of the 90's were Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, and Triple H, what do these guys all have in common? They all eventually became WWE Champion. Now let's look at the Intercontinental Champions of the Noughties. Okay Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Edge, then ughhh, Carlito, Umaga, Shelton Benjamin... Okay look not everybody who wins the Intercontinental Championship is going to eventually main event Wrestlemania, good god I don't think anybody wanted to see Marc Mero win the Royal Rumble. But you get my point on how WWE really treated the Intercontinental Championship back then as "Alright let's see how the crowd like this person as Intercontinental Championship and then if he's over we'll give him a push to the main event." It shows how out of favor it's gotten and to make sure that it starts getting on the right track, somebody like Roman Reigns should've won it before his world championship reign to show off the desire for that belt. The next future world champion should hold it and when they win that eventual world title, it will make Intercontinental Championship start to look like money. Then we have the United States Championship, this is a belt the I finally found a usage for after thinking about it in the shower and reminiscing on how awesome Shibata and Ishii's match at Wrestle Kingdom 10 was and then it hit me, it was awesome because we were seeing two hard hitting motherfuckers at their element and the result was a cathartic masterpiece. The United States Championship should be the Hoss belt. A Hoss is generally a negative term to wrestling fans, but in this case a Hoss means somebody who is strong, unstoppable, and a beast in the ring. This is the man's belt, and whoever holds it is a sign of them being a real badass who won't back down from fights. I'm imagining guys like Cesaro, Ryback, Sheamus, Rusev and maybe a soon to be called up Baron Corbin to be the main faces for the United States Championship. Make the United States Open Challenge a requirement for the champion and have it open ever show, it will make the crowd excited by witnessing an amazing title match and a heel can generate some real good heat by cheating or disqualifying themselves to prevent the audience from seeing a great match unfold. Now we have King Of The Ring. WHAT HAPPEN TO THIS CONCEPT? The King Of The Ring had the same idea as the Intercontinental Championship had but on a grander scale. Whoever won meant that they were going to do some real amazing things in the future, the Austin 3:16 promo, Bret Hart winning it twice, it was the original Royal Rumble concept of a new star arriving by winning an important event. So how do make it important again, simple. The winner of King Of The Ring, gets a number one contedership to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam. Not a stupid king gimmick, they get to headline WWE's second biggest event in the year. It's a simple idea with a large value to it. The first winner of this new King Of The Ring (I would pick Bray Wyatt) needs to win their match at Summerslam to give the King Of The Ring an layer of importance, not every winner, but at least the first. Let's kill two birds with one stone by having the semi and finals be at Battleground to make that PPV at least somewhat important. Remember when I said that not everybody who wins the Intercontinental Championship isn't going to be a full time main eventer, well the last thing to add is The Gatekeeper. The Gatekeeper is a booker's best friend, they dominate the midcard yet lose to an eventual main eventer to give that main eventer an increase in stock. There have been many Gatekeeper's in pro wrestling, like one my personal favorites, Scott Hall/Razor Ramon, and nowadays Roderick Strong and Hirooki Goto of Ring Of Honor and New Japan fame respectively. But WWE is really needing a Gatekeeper because of the influx of talent they have now. It's very easy to book a Gatekeeper, have them consistently win matches at the midcard, while semi being featured in the main event scene, and lose to an up and coming star to give that person some credibility. But who is even credible to be a Gatekeeper? A few years ago I would have told you Dolph Ziggler, but now Dean Ambrose is my pick. I wouldn't make them have their entire career be nothing but kicking jabroni ass, as I would at least give them a world title run or two as a thank you for help building up stars. So that's how I would reshape WWE's midcard, would do you think? Let me know down below, and I want to know if I should continue this series or not. I got some pretty good rebooking ideas.

The other day I was sitting by the poolside with my grand daughter and told her that we should imagine we were lounging around sipping Margaritas. Suddenly I realised I'd never had a margarita and had absolutely no idea of what it was. So this afternoon I found out.
At Dempsey Hill, where most of the good eating places seem to be located, we went to Margaritas a pricey Mexican restaurant. With walls filled with art works and the place filled with customers, Margaritas is perfect for a relaxed Sunday Brunch.
We had chicken enchiladas which were yum, beef fajitas that were OK ( I must confess I HATE assembling my food) and vegetarian quesadillas. The fried ice cream was a novelty( for me )as was the chilli chocolate dessert .
Overall , a lively and vibrant atmosphere , good food and good service.
And yes I finally had my margarita! It was light, lemony and refreshing.
Perhaps I will have it by the poolside one day!

Now a days Thaman becoming very
popular even though he is repeating same tunes, I think Producers are feeling
that he is the lucky music director for them. Because Thaman composed films are
almost getting success. So let's see how the songs are
1st song: Kajal
This is a teasing song; this is
similar to vaishali im very sorry song in Mirapakay. Beats are also same. But
to hear it's nice. This song is sung by Raviteja, S.S. Thaman and Written by
Bhaskara Batla.
2nd Song: Yevindoo
This song is written by
Sirivennela Seetharama shasthri and sung by S.P. Balasubramanyam. This song is
highlight to the movie and sole of the movie. Gopichand mallineni also said
this is his favourite song. SS Thaman composed a good melody after a long time.
3rd song: Lucky Lucky
This song is an item song,
Thaman used his drums again this song is like sequel to welcome kanakam in
Baadshah. This is a good mass song, Mass audiance will like it.
This is sung by Naveen Madhav
and M.M.Manasi. Lyrics: Bhaskar Bhatla
4th Song:
This song is peppy number,
beats are good and Sung by Suchith Suresan, Megha. Lyrics: Anantha Sriram.
5th Song: Pathikella
This is another mass number.
Mass audiance will love it, but same drums same beats and Sung by Mika Singh
and Ranina Reddy. Lyrics provided by Bhaskara Bhatla.
Thaman used similar tunes but comparing with recent albums this album is somewhat
better. Yevindo song is highlight to this album. All other songs are good but
not new tunes. So people who want new tunes from thaman will disappoint. People
who love thaman music will enjoy the songs. :)
Tail Piece: Let us
say Hats off to S.P. Balasubramanyam Garu, he is singing with such variations
and such a great voice in this age also.
Cine Forest Rating: 3.5/5

The Maya placed great importance on the process of tattooing, believing that tattoos in the image of a god would imbue a person with some of that god's power. Because of the importance and difficulty of this art form it was only natural that there was a god responsible for it. Acat was said to bless the ink, needles, and work spaces, and steady the hands of the artists for better results.

Don't you love it when "the numbers" appear in your everyday life?
C'mon, don't lie, I know you look for them :D If you like LOST enough to be on this site blogging about it, then you no doubt look for them in real life.
I only bring this up, because my lunch cost $8.16, and that was awesome.
There's a highway close to my house that is closed until new year's day. While driving to a play a few weeks ago we come across a sign displaying that there are 4 months and 23 days until the road opens. Awesome.
C'mon, I can't be the only person who looks for them in real life

The PlayStation 4 launched in The United States on November 15th, 2013. Some 2 and a half years after, the Play Station 4 has obtained several modifications to the entire layout and interface. When the games console initially started, it had an incredibly straightforward user interface that has been lacking several features. Since launch we've received plenty of brand new notification choices, more societal connectivity, SharePlay, play station Now, play station Vue, a rebranding of PlayStation Songs that now includes Spotify, and additional attributes. These brand new accessions have continued to assist the PlayStation manufacturer to lead the pack in console revenue, promoting millions more components than its opposite numbers in the Wii U and Xbox One.
One excellent method to achieve this project will be to continue pushing the envelope on the play station technologies and the solutions they have been offering. Brand new programs are added nearly weekly. Brand new games are releasing daily. The games console now boasts numerous games that features 100s of exceptional encounters for every assortment of movie Gamer. Some games to mention that will be coming out contain Uncharted 4: A Thief's Finish, No Man's Skies, Horizon: Zero Morning, and Road Combat V. Those are only the games which are games console exclusives to Sony's program.
Play Station is always innovating, and we believe they are going to keep doing so well into the future. Now that we've looked at what is going on with the Play Station 4 let's have a look at where it's headed and what you want to see added to the games console. Will they include folders to aid clean up the interface slightly? Could they enable users to alter their PlayStation Network I D? Some rumors even indicate they might be producing a play station 4.5 that would add improved functionality in a better program that may be declared shortly. What do you want to see? We value our visitors' views and are always striving to keep these things included in the dialogue. Thanks for reading.

Has Anybody Here Used Americolor Flo-Coat?
Decorating By BakingGirl Updated 7 Feb 2017 , 5:08pm by ellejayz
I am looking for some instructions on how to use it. I bought a bottle a while back but have not yet used it since I have no idea what the ratio of Flo-Coat to gel color is. There is no instruction on the bottle.
I usually use IMBC but find it really hard to color when I need dark colors. I end up with pools of separated color at the bottom of my bowls. Or even worse, puddles of separated color on the cake itself.
Am I right to think if I add Flo-Coat to my gel colors and turn the colors into oil based colors, I may have more success tinting my IMBC?
I don't know. But if you have some icing already made try a little in it. I know about the candy part but haven't tried it with icing.
I have no idea about IMBC, but I use Flo=coat with the gel colours to colour candy coatings. I use 6 drops of Flo-coat to 1 drop of colouring. Hope that helps a bit!
I just bought some over the weekend to color white chocolate and the lady told me to put 1 teaspoon of flow coat into my color gel, mix it up good and then work it into my 1 pound of chocolate. I hope this works because it will tick me off to waste a pound of white chocolate.
I'll be watching for replies and see if any of the other members have different advice. Glad you started this thread!
I found instructions on the web. See below. I used it to color candy coating and the color was nice. One warning though, in the instructions it says to continue to add flow coat if the candy starts to set up. There is a such thing as too much. I was making calligraphy letters with a mold and after about the third batch, they kept breaking when trying to get them out of the mold. I was thoroughly frustrated and then it dawned on me to make an entire new batch of candy coating and work faster to avoid having to use so much flo-coat. otherwise it's nice and doesn't alter the taste.
I used forest green, too so the candy was pretty dark.
Thank you all for your advice so far. kelleygirl, thanks for the link. You know, sometimes I think I am not too bright, I should have been able to find that myself. So now I know the ratio, thank you!
I bought the Flo-Coat originally so that I can use it instead of keeping a full set of candy colors for the few times I do chocolate transfers. The idea that I may be able to use it for IMBC occurred to me the other day. Unfortunately I do not have any IMBC already made up to try. I was hoping someone had tried Flo-Coat in IMBC before I make up the icing for the cake I have planned. If I find out it does not work I will stick to my method of coloring IMBC, adding color the the meringue before the butter is added. But that leaves me with a full batch of the same color which is not always useful.
So if anyone else has tried, please let me know!
i've been coloring my IMBC no problem. i've never colored it will really dark colors like black or brown, but every other color has worked out okay.
Here's my little secret. Even though I love and swear by IMBC (white chocolate) has become my signature icing, i make up batches of 1/2 and 1/2 buttercream (1/2 butter, 1/2 shortening) and keep it for borders and detail.
Because, as we all know, IMBC will start to melt from the heat in your own hand.
I have only used Flo-Coat to color candy melts, but had great success with it. It would be interesting to find out how it reacts with your IMBC. Please let us know.
OK, the results are in!
I managed to dig out a bag of left-over IMBC from the freezer which I used for a Flo-Coat test. I put equal amounts of IMBC in two bowls, added equal amounts of gel color to each bowl, and then added the porportionate amount of Flo-Coat to one bowl.
Interestingly the icing which had the Flo-Coat, the colour dispersed much more quickly and with less stirring. The colour developed much richer and darker right away compared to the non-Flo-Coat icing. In the bowl with gel colour only you could see that the icing had tiny microscopic "bubbles" of colour in it, which the Flo-Coat icing did not have. On the negative side, the Flo-Coat thinned the icing and made it very soft. It would certainly make the icing too thin for piping.
I left the bowls of icing in room temperature for 3 hours, came back to find that the non-Flo-Coat icing had developed to the same rich colour as the Flo-Coat icing. The tiny bubbles of colour had also disappeared.
So basically Flo-Coat works, but it does thin the icing, and in the end the same result can be achieved by leaving the coloured icing to rest.
Thanks so much for the update! Colorboy is our official Americolor rep. You should send him a PM with this. I am sure he would be very interested to hear it.
can i use flo-coat with regular food coloring? meaning liquid, not gel or paste? i need to color white chocolate for coating cake pops and they need to be electric or hot colors, and i've only found those shades in food coloring not candy coloring..help
thank you!
I don't work with IMBC, but have you thought about using powder colors to color it?
Americolor has electric colors.
cheatize, yes they do but they are not candy colors, i guess i'll just have to buy their electric colors and use with flo-coat
Thank You
I have waisted alot of Italian meringue buttercream because this flow coat is not an accurate tool for coloring. I will try making 2 separate bowls with and without. Leave it for the afternoonand see what happens. This is frustrating and we are in the 21st century lol

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/5/2014 (1179 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WASHINGTON -- I confess, I've tweeted from the toilet. I've flitted through Facebook. And, though I hate to out myself, I've churned through the never-ending tide of email that washes into my inbox.
Why? I suppose the question is really, why not? My iPhone is small, handy, portable, kind of addictive and closer than the stack of newspapers in the recycling bin. But truthfully, I've never really given it much thought before. And, like my friend and New America colleague Katherine Mangu-Ward noted earlier in her defence of texting on the toilet, it's not like I'm the only one. A 2012 marketing survey, IT in the Toilet, found about three-fourths of the 1,000 men and women they polled admitted to using their smartphones on the commode.
An earlier survey reported that 38 million Americans use their phones to shop on the pot.
Americans already work among the longest and most extreme hours of any advanced economy, not counting the cloaked hours on call on our gadgets at all hours and all places. And though we like to think that makes us productive and efficient -- and important -- it doesn't. Other countries, with shorter work hours, higher wages, generous paid sick and family leave and as much as a month of paid vacation every year are actually as productive per hour (France), or more (Norway), than the United States, according to annual charts of GDP per hours worked put out by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and Bureau of Labor Statistics.
And at a time when we need to be more creative and innovative, working everywhere, all the time, at all hours, at the desk, in the car, distractedly walking down the street or sneaking off to the restroom stall, is exactly the wrong thing to do.
Why? Because neuroscience is discovering our brains are wired for new ideas, breakthrough thinking and inspiration to arise in a break from the constant grind of work. In the pauses, at the least expected times, often when we're doodling, daydreaming or even mindlessly perusing the goofy toilet trivia, the back of a shampoo bottle, or the colourful graffiti scribbled all over the bathroom walls, the aha moment alights.
We're calm and relaxed. Our brains are idle. And something lights up called the default mode network, which, like airport hubs, connect different parts of our brain that typically don't communicate. That's when a stray thought, a random memory, an image, can coalesce into a strange, wonderful and wholly original stew. Author J.K. Rowling stared out a train window for four hours and the entire plot of the Harry Potter series "fell into" her head, she's said.
The point is, toilet habits have changed as societies have changed. In the ancient world, toilets were often a place for socializing, as high-status men sank their tushes into communal marble toilets with as many as 36 seats. European kings -- and famously, LBJ -- conducted business on the throne while doing their business, a sign more of their power than their drive to be productive, writes Bob Cromwell, a Linux coder and self-proclaimed Toilet Guru.
But never before, he says, have we seen work creep so far into every nook and cranny of our lives, even the privy, as a result of technology.
"I'm always struck, the minute you get out of an airplane, everybody heads to the bathroom and starts making calls and checking their phones. I mean, how urgent are all these calls, really? It's a quality-of-life thing, to me," he said. "Sometimes, when I hear a disembodied voice talking in the stall, I'm happy to say in a really loud voice, 'He's talking to you sitting on the toilet!' I figure I can get away with it. It's not like they're going to get up and run after me."

Taylor Swift: Criticizing Her For Writing About Exes Is Sexist
"My first album came out when I was 16, so I would write about my life as I saw it, as I felt it. And then what happens is as you get more successful, which you're lucky if that happens, you have more and more people paying attention to what you're doing and you've been doing it the same way your entire career as a songwriter, but all of a sudden the perspective has changed. They use kind of you writing songs about your life as a way to play detective. And for me, I have a really strict personal policy that I never name names, so anybody saying that a song is about a specific person is purely speculating….The most important thing for me is maintaining artistic integrity which means as a songwriter I still continue to write about my life…you're going to have people who are gonna say, 'Oh you know, like she just writes songs about her ex-boyfriends,' and I think, frankly, that's just a very sexist angle to take. No one says that about Ed Sheeran. No one says it about Bruno Mars. They're all writing about their exes, their current girlfriends, their love life and no one raises a red flag there."
Taylor Swift told Australian radio station 2DayFM how she really feels about all the flack she gets for writing so many songs about ex-boyfriends, and, well, she makes a great point. [Celebuzz] [Image via AKM-GSI]

We'll Know Who to Blame if the Jolie-Pitt Thanksgiving Is a Bust
Stars: They're just like us.
Most Popular
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have a big family, and with six kids at the table you can bet their Thanksgiving dinner is quite the to-do. It's apparently a group effort, at least–Brad Pitt said in a red-carpet interview on Monday that he'd get in the kitchen himself. "I'll get in there, I'll mess it up a little bit," he said. "We've got Thanksgiving, man–I'm all over that turkey." Wait, Brad is on turkey duty? And taking a very casual attitude toward tackling the all-important task?

This calls to mind that other time he blew Thanksgiving—well, on TV, anyway, as a guest star on Friends.

Stew Leonard's Scores Location for Fourth Unit, near Hartford, Conn.
NORWALK, Conn. -- Stew Leonard's, the independent regional retailer known for its in-store theatrics and fresh, upscale selection, will open its fourth supermarket next year, marking its entrance into the Hartford, Conn. market.
NORWALK, Conn. -- Stew Leonard's, the independent regional retailer known for its in-store theatrics and fresh, upscale selection, will open its fourth supermarket next year, marking its entrance into the Hartford, Conn. market.
The retailer decided to lease the location, which is in Newington, Conn. at the site of a former Caldor's store, in a matter of months after finding it, e.v.p. and c.f.o. Vince Summa told Progressive Grocer on Friday. "From the time we first saw the site to the time we signed the lease was less than 90 days."
Two other new store projects, meanwhile, in Orange, Conn. and East Farmingdale, N.Y., where it already owns property, have been temporarily put on hold, as Stew Leonard's retail use approvals go through an appeals process in court. "The resolution won't be announced until the summer," said spokeswoman Meghan Flynn.
The Newington Stew Leonard's store will go up on the site of a 112,800-square-foot former Caldor's store, approximately 10 miles outside Hartford, the state's capital. The store is slated to open in early 2007, after Stew Leonard's makes $15 million dollars in improvements, including:
-- Building an in-store, scratch bakery and state-of-the-art kitchens
-- Installing a specialty cheese aging room and prepared foods area with indoor seating
-- Installing a café complete with coffee roasted right in front of the customer
-- Installing an ice cream parlor serving freshly made soft-serve ice cream.
"We've always wanted to open a store in the Hartford area, but were never able to find a suitable location until recently, when this property became available," said Stew Leonard, president and c.e.o. of Stew Leonard's.
Nicknamed the "Disneyland of dairy stores," Stew Leonard's is known for having costumed characters and animated entertainment throughout the store that keep children entertained while parents shop.
Flynn noted that the new Newington store will likely feature new "animatronics." "Stew just went to an amusement park show to get new ideas," she said.
The Newington store will be Stew Leonard's third store in Connecticut. The other store locations are Norwalk and Danbury, Conn.; with another store in Yonkers, N.Y.
