There is not one jurisdiction in Australia where building surveyors are required by law to be audited annually. Yet building surveyors perform the most critical role of any building practitioner under the building regulations, save for the builder who has to ensure that the building is built to both last and be fit for occupation.
It follows that legislation must have in place strong probity regimes designed to ensure that building surveyors do indeed abide by the public good imperative. This imperative is not indigenous to Australia and on point is the fact that three years ago I was invited by the Japanese Government to participate in a think tank that was invested with the responsibility of reviewing and overhauling Japanese building regulations.
The review was born of a controversy to do with a number of buildings where the engineering had been brought into question. My retainer was to advise on how to best improve the probity belts and braces that governed building control and the inspectorial regime.
One of my key recommendations was that auditing of certifiers had to be mandatory and annual, only to be informed that by the Japanese luminaries who stated that they had made auditing of building surveyors both mandatory and an annual requirement some years prior.
It is the building surveyor's statutory duty to ensure that buildings are fit for occupation, and where there is evidence of recalcitrance on the part of building practitioners and owners, the legislature expects the building surveyors to issue enforcement notices and orders.
A building surveyor is very much like a regulatory policeman, there to police regulatory compliance. Although the building surveyor is not charged by law with the responsibility of guaranteeing all aspects of build quality, he or she must discharge his or her statutory obligations and ensure that the practitioners under his or her watch do likewise.
The building surveyor's statutory mandate is so critical, it follows that high levels of probity have to surround the discharge of their statutory duties. It is expected that those duties are discharged impartially, professionally and in a fashion that always has the public top of mind.
When it comes to protecting the public or the consumer, it's best to prevent or avoid the occasioning of misfortune rather than to react to misfortune once it has materialised. Those who fashioned compliance and probity regimes for lawyers understood this. If one applies the tried and true, the only way the legislature can best ensure this is to make auditing mandatory. So building policy makers need to look to the legal fraternity statutory compliance regime as a benchmark if they want to increase the probity standards of in the building industry.
Policy architects, however, are often hamstrung by the bean counters in Treasury, particularly those in the post-GFC world who are invariably ill disposed to such notions. They will say cash strapped building control regimes can't afford to underwrite an army of auditors.
Well, they don't need to, because if they use the legal fraternity regime as a template, they will find that the legal fraternity adopts a user pays system in that law firms that have to pay independent auditors whom are nominated by the Law Societies. The auditors carry out at least two audits a year (one of which occurs without notice) and audits the books. If everything is in order, which is generally the case, the auditor gives the law firm a clean bill of health. If the diagnosis is not so good, the auditor informs the Law Society of this fact and the ante is upped.
Australian state and territory building regulatory jurisdictions could similarly accredit a panel of auditors, and the Building Acts could be amended to make auditing mandatory, annual, arms length and user pays. If this regime is introduced, recalcitrance can be identified before the damage is done, rather than maintaining the complaint driven status quo that only finds expression when the damage is done.
This innovation would in a macro sense lower the mercury on the misery barometer and would without a doubt improve the quality of the as built product in a profoundly positive sense.
Subtlety, there is the ability to audit building surveyors in every jurisdiction the point of the article is that the regime is not mandatory in contradisdinction to the legal fraternity where it is mandatory. This is the central point and message in the article.
Good morning,
I completely concur with Kim's article. As a major stair nosing manufacturer we visit many dwellings in Sydney and Melbourne. The main non compliant builders specialize in large residential developments. The ABCA don't have the resources to perform inspections. Rather they expects evidence to be presented before a long roundabout process is instigated.
The notion of a user pays model as above is indexed with a post GFC paradigm; governments are challenged in terms of matters such as budget repair and cannot in the current deflationary environment, where tax receipts are far less than in the commodities boom easily ramp up new forms of expenditures. A compulsory auditing regime is very expensive in terms of the public purse, so in an era of fiscal constraint one needs to look for alternative ways to fund vital functions such as auditing. One of the reasons for the Latvian supermarket roof floor collapse a couple of years ago, that killed so many people, was the disbanding of the national building inspectorate. This was due to post GFC austerity measures. When budgets are challenged and Treasury bean counters and expenditure committees are having to balance the books, the task cannot be underestimated as there are many competing and pressing expenditure priorities, not the least of being welfare commitments for the needy and the vulnerable along with other vital services that keep everything ticking over, such as the police force, hospitals and so forth. But a user pays model is a best of both worlds scenario, the probity controls are improved absent reliance upon additional financial impost upon government or treasury departments. Its all too easy to criticise government for perceived shortcomings in terms of resource funding and allocation, this achieves little. Floating solutions that can help government solve macro dimension problems has a better chance of getting lift off. The user pays model has worked for the legal sector and its clients and consumers for 'eons', it would be pretty easy to migrate to another sector.
The building surveyor is like the goal keeper with regard to eliminating poor building quality or inferior materials – they are the last line of defence.
Whilst we must accept that building surveyors cannot be expected to pick up all shoddy materials/workmanship which goes in up the line, there must also be a quality assurance regime to ensure that our last line of defence is up to scratch and that our goal-keepers are functioning effectively.
KIm, I am in agreement. It is a no-brainer that 'certifiers' charged with responsibility to 'certify' buildings (at least to a level to be fit to 'occupy') should be audited and frequently. And I would add, pie in the sky, that the reckless should be punished! Whether the OP should only require a building to be to the level of suitability for 'occupation' is an entirely different matter for another time. In relation to cost being a deterring factor to auditing for 'compliance', I do not think that is the issue. Rather the 'no touch regulatory' culture subscribes to a policy and practice of' 'no consequences' for misconduct, no matter how serious the damage caused to owners or how frequently the recalcitrance. There is NO WILL to make any persons in building accountable and NO punishment – hence NO deterrence. As for real reform, the most recent Vic legislation has been enacted to reduce 'consumer protection' – increasing the misery barometer – this indicative of the fact that there is no commitment to improving the lot of consumers. Clearly, the driving policy force is to 'control' consumers and 'not control' certifiers, or anyone else in the business of building. Had there been any intention to improve consumers' lot, then genuine consumers would have been consulted, represented and their views heard. However, in stark contradiction, consumers were excluded and remain so, very effectively rendered non-entities, voiceless and powerless – only of value as 'cash cows'! As for the built environment, like the seriously damaged consumer class, there is no interest in defective, dangerous buildings. The whole scheme has been contrived as a scam and to ignore every issue except how best to increase growth and business profit.
Anne I am of the view that policy makers are intent on improving the lot of the public. It is a complex process and yes you are right about consultation with key interest groups being absolutely critical. If the auditing resources of the departments locally and abroad can be complemented and boosted by additional user pays funded auditors it will help all. I think that the policy makers are well intentioned and sensitive to the plight of consumers so I'm at odds with the notion of there being a lack of willingness to embrace this challenge but yes more needs to be done and I think it's critical that solutions are volunteered in the hope that some of same may find expression.

Fifty shades of Grey is being released to widespread criticism. It's pretty amazing how it's managed to produce criticism from both 'sides' – some feminists hate it, conservative Christians hate it. It's been termed 'mommy-porn' because it's supposed to appeal to young/middle aged women and unsurprisingly, some people are shocked that women could enjoy such graphic sexual fantasies. Could it be? Is it true? Do humans with XX chromosomes actually have very potent sex drives? Apparently they do.
I haven't read enough about Fifty shades of Grey to offer any informed critique of it, but what is apparent to me is that sex and sexuality, particularly female sexuality is still a big deal. We are living in a liberated, sexy age with access to sex or images of sex pretty much all the time, but ease of access has not necessarily made sex less controversial – we're just more able to talk about the controversy openly.
In Western society, the traditional Christian sexual ethic is fast becoming legendary. Saying you believe that sex should be saved until marriage in a room full of 20 year olds is almost like saying you believe that you believe in leprechauns. Weird. But the Christian sexual ethic is more than just no sex until marriage. That's what it is best known for, but ultimately, abstinence-if -you- can-then-hot-wild-sex-forever-with-your-spouse is a completely inadequate description of it.
It leaves out those who are called to celibate lives. It leaves out the disabled who cannot engage in the same sexual acts as those of us who are able bodied. It leaves out Christians with same sex attractions who accept their orientation but have decided to remain celibate. It leaves out singles who do not feel that they are called to celibacy but find themselves at 30, 40, 50 unmarried and frankly, horny. It leaves out those who thought they did everything right but end up divorced often with children, trying to grapple with the newness of not having a partner to share their sexuality with. It leaves out all the wonder and beauty and excitement and often deeply frustrating and downright difficult path of of those of us who will get married but have to steward our bodies up till that point. It focuses on the denial of sex rather than engaging with,understanding, and being comfortable with ourselves as sexual beings.
Christian sexual ethics are rooted very deeply in the creation story – the idea that God formed humanity himself, personally, body and spirit which together form a 'living soul', and that what we do to our bodies cannot be disconnected from our spirits. And that He knows what's best for our bodies. That's a frightening thought in a world where women's bodies in particular are policed, and pushed and shoved and manipulated – in a world where women are told their bodies are not their own. It smells of a misogynist plot to yet again control female sexuality.
And yet, John 1:12 says of Jesus
But whoever did want him,
who believed he was who he claimed
and would do what he said,
He made to be their true selves,
their child-of-God selves.
The principles of sexuality I see in the Bible are:
1) Our sexuality reflects the desire of God to give us good things.
The reason I find the focus solely on abstinence so worrying is because it focuses on God's no instead of God's yes. The fact that we can have orgasms suggests that the desire for pleasure is in built. God is saying yes to sex in an environment which should be replete with complete commitment, acceptance, and love. In essence, safe sex.
2) Our sexuality is broken.
Every single person is affected by the brokenness of the world we live in. Every single person has some element of sexual dysfunction. From the man who is promiscuous because he has a thirst for conquest, to the church girl who thinks that her technical virginity guarantees her a happy marriage. Some of us may have experiences with sexuality that are awful and unfair, because this world is awful and unfair. There isn't an easy solution to these problems.
3) There is a right and wrong way to express our sexuality.
The divorcing of the body from the spirit allows us to think that we can use our bodies in any way that gives our body pleasure. I think the reason our generation is so conflicted about sexuality is because we are trying to deny this connection. We say that it is socialised, that we are conditioned to attach morality to sexuality, and so we are constantly trying to find a way to mesh that belief with the reality of our emotions. It doesn't work – you are a living soul. No society has found sex morally neutral- we will try and fail.
There's a show called The Virgin Diaries on MTV – it seems that are fascinated with sexlessness as much as sex because we hinge far too much of our humanity on it. "Sex is a human right, like food and water", I've heard people say jokingly. Sexuality is definitely present in all humans, But sexual intercourse as we know it? No, not necessarily. Part of the problem with the emphasis on waiting till marriage is that it suggests this waiting to become adult, normal and fully ourselves. You are adult, normal and fully yourself without having had sex. The Bible is full of great characters – some of them had sex and some of them didn't.
What do you think? What are some of the things you find weird/ hard to understand about the Christian idea of sexuality? Christian and non-Christian opinions welcome.

For the first time in the campaign, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is beating Democratic presidential rival Hillary Clinton, according to a Fox News poll released Thursday.
The poll shows Sanders, who a month ago was trailing Clinton 49 percent to 37 percent, leading her 47 percent to 44 percent.
"One thing that is clear from our poll — and others — is that Clinton has been losing support and Sanders has been gaining," says Democratic pollster Chris Anderson. "And this process appears to have accelerated since the contests in Iowa and New Hampshire."

"Historically, lesser-known candidates beating establishment candidates in early contests have seen the biggest boost in their national support," said Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducted the Fox News poll along with Anderson.
Among women, Clinton's lead over Sanders has all but evaporated. Over the last two Fox News polls, Clinton's lead among women went from 28 points to only three.

"Blue-collar, white Democrats have been a major source of Clinton's defection," Shaw added.
Advertisement - story continues below
- 55 percent of voters overall said that Clinton does not have the integrity to be president; 64 percent of independents felt so.
- 52 percent said they were "tired of Clintons running for president"; 59 percent said that about the Bush family.
- 60 percent said Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of state put the nation at risk.
The Fox News poll was conducted from Feb.15-17, 2016. The margin of error is plus or minus three percentage points for responses from all registered voters, and 4.5 points for the Democratic primary voters.

ExperienceOver the years, I have offered a helping hand to those who needed it. I helped a girl a couple of years ago. She was 17 and she could not read, so she asked me for help. It wasn't but two weeks after that, that she was reading her first novel "Moby Dick". I was so proud of her. From then on in, she absolutely loved to read.
I would really love to be a tutor if that meant that I could help students be the best that they can and enjoy the subjects that gave them such a hard time to begin with. My strengths in subjects vary so it would be best to say that I am pretty good in everything that I have tried except math! I am, in fact very knowledgable about computers.
HobbiesI love to draw, write stories, and read, they both just allow me to free my mind and be myself, it's very calming. I am in a band and my role in the band is to sing and play the guitar,piano; any instrument that is needed at the time. If I can't play a ce

REUTERS - Bangaru Laxman, a former president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), was on Friday convicted by a Delhi court more than a decade after being caught on camera allegedly accepting a bribe from a journalist posing as an arms dealer.
Media reports said a special court held Laxman guilty of accepting 100,000 rupees in 2001 in what was later revealed to be a sting operation by the Tehelka website.
Laxman resigned as his party's president soon after the video footage was made public.
Laxman faces a maximum jail term of five years and has been taken into custody, media reports said. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Saturday.

Daisy Group pledged to continue on the acquisition trail following its latest purchase of MurphX Innovative Solutions, despite posting a loss of £16.2m for the 15 months ending 31 March.The company's preliminary results show pre-tax losses from continuing operations of £16.2m on revenue of £134.4m. During this period Daisy made seven acquisitions, including the recent purchase of distributor Fone Logistics. The company also secured £75m in bank funding and sold off its Wimax business to UK Broadband for £12.5m. Daisy bought Hampshire based broadband service provider MurphX Innovative Solutions for an initial sum of £4.8m.Daisy remains confident about its financial performance over the coming fiscal year. The group said it would make cost savings over the coming year as it moves to integrate its acquisitions. It is also sees opportunities for further acqusitions under the current tough economic climate.Executive chairman Peter Dubens said: 'The market environment remains difficult for smaller, sub-scale operators and this will provide further acquisition opportunities during the current financial year.'He added that Daisy's recently acquired £75 million banking facility would power further acquisitions.According to Dubens, Daisy had cash and equivalents equaling £20m, leaving the company with net debt of £8.3m, as of March 31. He said that the group would continue to take a 'prudent approach to debt levels'.Daisy's portfolio currently covers network services, data products, maintenance and mobile kit. Dubens said the company aims to offer all four 'from a single platform, with a single customer bill.'Matthew Riley, CEO of Daisy Group, said: 'These results demonstrate the progress we have made towards our aim of becoming one of the largest UK providers of unified communications services and solutions to the SME and mid-market sector. 'We have integrated acquired businesses on schedule, providing significant cost savings which will be reflected in our results for the year to 31 March 2011. We have in place the platform, the systems, the people and the product set to allow us to continue to grow organically and by further acquisitions.'The recently completed bank funding provides the Group with the capability to pursue future acquisitions and we look forward to the coming financial year with confidence.'

FRIDAYI was honored to attend the much anticipated wedding of two very deserving people. My roommate Natalie and I met Adam in college as we continually ran into each other walking across the field that separated our quad from
Eventually we met the high school girlfriend that he undoubtedly was madly in love with. The two of them despite going to different colleges had the kind of love that lasts forever--that was easy to tell after spending just 5 minutes with the couple. After 10 years in the making their unbreakable bond has been celebrated through marriage and I couldn't be happier for the pair!
They threw a great party and I had so much fun dancing the night away with friends!
After work I met my mom up at Whole Foods for lunch and their beer tasting event. Instead of the tasting I went for a pint of Rhinegeist Blanc--and yes just for this awesome, free with purchase Dayton glass.
Saturday night was date night at a favorite, BD's Mongolian Grill. Corey opted for some seafood in his stir-fry and got a little more than he bargained for. I love fried calamari but this little octopus is a bit much for me!
As I now sit here at the computer, I'm gearing up for the week ahead. I've still got plenty of summer to embrace but I'm starting to get back-to-school anxiety and feel the need to do some major classroom work this week. Wish me luck as I start to prepare!

Burton v Birmingham - Friday 19:45, Sky Sports 1
David Cotterill opened his account for the season with a late penalty that sealed a 4-2 win against Rotherham in midweek - and it might just have given him a taste of what he's been missing. Back the Welshman in the first goalscorer market at 11/1. He isn't particularly prolific but he does possess the quality to break the deadlock in tight encounters such as this.
The 28-year-old winger has made 75 starts for Blues, scoring 14 times in total and never twice in the same game. So implied odds of 5.33 suggest there's no real value in the 17/4 anytime quote but when you consider that ten of those goals have been scored in the first half and nine of them have been the opener (implied odds of around 7/1), then the bells and buzzers start ringing.
This isn't an easy game to call. On top of the sentiment around Gary Rowett returning to his former club, there's a suspicion that Blues might have gone slightly off the boil compared to the standards they were setting a month ago. They played 4-4-2 against the Millers and scored four goals but Rowett evidently wasn't satisfied with certain aspects of the performance.
Nonetheless, you could argue the 90-minute prices should be the other way around. Burton have been competitive in every match this season but they lack the cutting-edge quality to punish teams when they are on top and that might only become more apparent as the season progresses. In terms of end product, Cotterill is probably the outstanding player on the pitch.

Jim Harbaugh has built a terrifying Michigan defense
The University of Michigan is rolling right now. After suffering a Week 1 loss to Utah — a loss which is looking increasingly understandable as the weeks go by and Utah remains legit — the Wolverines have notched five straight wins. The last three have been shutouts, and they have scored 97 points while conceding none in those games. In their five-game winning streak they have outscored opponents 160-14 and haven't allowed more than one score in any of the games.
Scoring that many points is reasonably impressive, but this is college football, where points fall out of the sky and touchdowns grow on trees. What is far more impressive is the defensive display — especially notching three straight total shutouts while understanding the point just made about offensive production.
The average number of points conceded (or scored) in this week's FBS schedule was 29.5, including Michigan's shutout-featuring game. Almost all of the other games featuring single-digit scores involved bad teams with losing records, but Michigan did this to a Northwestern team that was 5-0 coming into the game and ranked higher than Michigan in the AP Top 25.
You don't need to look much further than the opening Northwestern drive to see what the Michigan defense is all about. In 34 seconds of game time they forced a three and out, showing quality play at every level of the defense.
- 1st down: With just six men in the box they stuffed an inside zone run, winning all across the line of scrimmage and just squeezing the holes, leaving the runner with nowhere to go.
- 2nd down: Jabrill Peppers covers a slant and breaks the pass up as it arrives to force an incompletion.
- 3rd down: Michigan brings the blitz and the pressure forces an early, off-target pass to come out (Peppers again was in tight coverage even if it had been accurate).
This was all as Michigan was already sitting on a 7-0 lead with the offense yet to take the field after the opening kickoff had been taken back to the house. Games don't begin much better than this if you're a Wolverines fan.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing about this defensive run isn't the results, but the grading at the heart of it. Of 26 players that Michigan has used on defense this year just two of them have a below-average grade, and none is worse than a -1.8, which is still closer to average than disastrous.
16 of those 26 have strong positive grades and of the players that are left, five of them have played fewer than 20 snaps. In fact, the Wolverines have just one player on defense that has played 100 or more snaps and doesn't have a significantly positive grade.
There is no doubt at this point that Jim Harbaugh is a quality coach. The University of Michigan now marks the fourth football program that he has catapulted to respectability after falling on hard times, both in college and the NFL. His coaching and schemes are having an impact, but what leaps out from the tape is that the players are taking that coaching and applying it on the field to just dominate and win in their individual roles on each play.
Take this play from Northwestern's second drive:
Lined up in the pistol, Northwestern run an option to the left, away from the Michigan defenders crowding the line of scrimmage and towards the open side of the field. This play on paper should work – they have the numbers advantage, especially with one defender accounted for by being optioned and left unblocked.
Despite that it ends up a loss of several yards because the Michigan players, Peppers in particular, just dominates in his one-on-one encounter and torpedoes the play in the backfield. From his spot covering the slot he just defeats the block of the receiver and fires in on the running back to take him down for a loss before the run can get anywhere.
Even without that play the rest of the defense has played it well enough that there was no guarantee of success. DE Chris Wormley played the quarterback before sliding out in pursuit of the running back once he forced the pitch. LB Desmond Morgan was into the flat quickly and rode the attempted lead block pretty effectively to cut off the intended area of attack so on a play that should have been successful pre-snap, the Michigan defense was able to blow it up based on just out-executing on an individual level. That is the story of their season at this point.
As seen above, Northwestern even tried to test this, executing elaborate pre-snap shifts to try and cause confusion in the defense and force a screw up in assignment. The fact that Michigan was so quick to adjust and still lock everything down, forcing a marginal throw that fell incomplete, is another testament to how well-drilled this unit is.
The final thing that really stood out from the tape of Michigan's defense is the speed with which they flow to the football, especially against the run. They are happy to leave defenders in man coverage and attack with overload blitzes up front, and that too happens with speed, but watching any time Northwestern tried to gain the edge against this team was an incredible display of hustle by the Wolverines.
Take the play above, which was not in any way held up or delayed. A simple option trying to stretch the defense and the running back ends up facing five separate defenders all converging on him behind the line of scrimmage. That should not happen, and does not happen with most defenses. There wasn't even a catastrophic breakdown in blocking assignments to create it. The Wolverines just read, diagnose and attack the football like a pack of hungry dogs chasing after a wayward ribeye steak.
Michigan was able to get pressure all game long, whether they were coming with the blitz or just rushing with 3-4 guys. Northwestern QB Clayton Thorston was actually okay when he had the time to throw: with no pressure he completed 61.5 percent of his passes and gained 6.2 yards per attempt and his NFL passer rating on those plays was 79.3.
However, when Michigan pressured him (more times in this game than he had a clean pocket to work from) he completed just 35.7 percent of his passes, gaining 1.8 yards per attempt and had a passer rating of 14.6 — and that doesn't count the negative plays the sacks generated.
There was a similar story when Michigan dialed up the blitz. It caused Thorston's passer rating to drop to 7.6 and he completed only a third of his pass attempts.
They certainly weren't afraid to trust their coverage guys and dial up overload blitzes, almost ensuring pressure by sending more players than the offense could block, but they certainly did not rely on that to generate pressure in this game.
One of the things Michigan did regularly was employ a variety of stunts and twists up front. Of their pass-rushing plays almost half (20 of 41) employed some kind of stunt on the play. Even late in the game when they were rushing just four guys and being as conservative as this defense gets, they were able to generate easy pressure and confuse the Northwestern protections by lining up the fourth rusher behind the nose tackle and not showing until after the snap which side he would be coming. This worked time and time again, and it was just one of the multiple combination rushes that Michigan used during the game.
Rushing the passer is made so much easier if you can employ stunts to mess with the blockers, and the Michigan Wolverines have become masters at it in a short amount of time.
It's no secret that the Wolverines are looking like contenders again, but this defense is looking terrifying. Sterner tests will come for them this year, but right now they are playing lights-out across the board. There may not be a finer combination of talent, execution and coaching in the country right now.

Find a Jobor Internship
Excerpted from the Netherlands Career Guide
The Netherlands is the world's third-largest agricultural exporter, second-largest agri-food exporter and the world's largest flower and bulb exporter. Its highly mechanized agricultural industry employs only 2 percent of the labor force but produces enough for a surplus and exports. For example, last year was a bumper year for apples and pears, with a historically high harvest for apples. This is attributable to innovations in cultivation and production; pear and apple production per hectare is four and five times higher than in 1947, respectively. The Netherlands is the fourth-largest producer of pears in Europe.
An education in food technology is usually not sufficient; candidates are expected to have an MBA or marketing training as well, and are expected to be able to integrate technology and business.

Chad Johnson, Evelyn Lozada divorce final
Johnson's divorce from reality star finalSix-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Chad Johnson's divorce from reality TV star Evelyn Lozada is final. It comes a month after his arrest on a domestic battery charge, The Associated Press reports. Johnson's attorney Adam Swickle confirmed the news Wednesday. The couple wed on July 4. The receiver says he legally changed his last name back to Johnson from the playful Ochocinco because of his marriage to Lozada. Johnson was battling for a roster spot on the Miami Dolphins when Lozada accused him of head-butting her during an argument and filed for divorce. The Dolphins promptly cut Johnson, who is still not an NFL roster. Swickle said the divorce was governed by a confidential prenuptial agreement.

Shadowline Response: Yes, the Shadowline fit is unique and we are so glad you are one of our loyal customers! We have made many styles, some very similar, over the years and this style always had a cotton gusset. Our customer asked us not to change a thing and we listened. Thank you for asking for colors! We have passed your suggestion to our design team, for follow through.
MG from IN
Shadowline Response: Our panty cotton jersey gusset has the two needle cover stitch. Shadowline panties have been made with the same stitching for over 65 years and customers asked us not to change a thing. You might prefer the Spandex Classics Brief Panty in a size 2X. The fit would be a little smaller, and the three step zig zag elastic on the spandex would be a comfortable fit.

An online retailer will put up the Google Glass as a rental good at the end of April, and unless it's just another April's fool joke, the news may hold some significance for those that can't wait to empty the bank for one of Google's latest creation.
The reported rate for renting one of Google's trendy Glasses is $499 a month, which is slightly higher than the average car payment but lower than a house payment. If $499 is a turn off, then perhaps the weekly or biweekly rate may ensnare your interest. You can walk around like you're somebody for week by dropping $150 to rent Glass, or increase your self-esteem even more by dishing out $290 to rent Glass for two weeks.
Surely, this has to be an April's fool joke, but if the Glass' rental rate is actually that high, imagine how much it would cost to own one. By the way, if you're seriously thinking about renting Glass, make sure you get the insurance too in case it drops from forehead level and shatters on impact.

Learning From Legos
By Erika Larkin on 12/26/13
It's Christmas-time and I have two young children on the "nice list" — which means Santa brought lots of toys this year! My son is six years old and his world revolves around superheroes, iPad games, and Legos, amongst other things. He was so excited when an early present arrived in the mail yesterday from his Uncle and I allowed him to open it. So at 8:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve, he and I built the 300+ piece Lego set together. This is not my first rodeo; it is probably the 20th set I've helped him build, so by now I'm pretty proficient and efficient and it goes much faster than it used to — still tedious, but faster. It is fun to see it all come together and to see him playing with it is the best reward.
As I reflected on the experience and Legos in general, I thought of a few valuable lessons for building Legos and, of course, a better golf game too!
I hope this article helps you to better build Lego sets with your kids and a better golf game! Merry Christmas and have fun with you and yours this week! I also hope the New Year brings you good health, happiness and lots of birdies!!

x0x An Ancient Utopia Priene
By NERMiN BAYCIN
The people of Priene created a small but
magnificent city not with wealth but with
consummate skill and a common purpose.
I n very ancient times, in ages when cities were
countries, there were places so wonderful that
they were considered to be the center of the
universe, immortalized by their citizens in
legends of heroic founding shepherds. In the
dreams of kings, statesmen, thinkers and
travelers, these cities came to symbolize power to
some, to others an ideal way of life, exactly like
the city of Babylon, `Gateway to the Gods'. Or,
like cities that seemed to embody the ideas and
identities of people who lived in a place very far
from here, in a time when citizens had control
over their government.
Priene is one of those places. Founded on a steep
slope in the Samsun Mountains along the Aegean
shore south of Soke (AydIn), this ancient city,
with its meeting halls, educational institutions,
senate and popular assembly, stands out as a
symbol of the age of ancient Greece, the
Hellenistic period in particular, when the concept
of the state was confined to a small independent
world unto itself.
For the picture it presents, in its extremely
well-preserved houses, streets and quarters,
virtually conveys the way of life unique to that
world down to the smallest detail.
Thrilled by the view that met his eye, Wiegand, a
scholar who carried out excavations at Priene at
the end of the 19th century, dubbed it `the
Pompeii of Asia Minor'. The construction of the
houses in the city's western districts especially
and the rich findings recovered from their
interiors are like a photograph reflecting life
2400 years ago. Many valuable monuments, such as
banquet and dining rooms with ostentatious decor,
walls covered with painted reliefs or drawings,
various household furnishings, small statues and
fragments of a bronze bedstead take their place
among the slices of everyday life brought to the
light of day. Like Pompeii preserved under the
ashes of Vesuvius, here too life was suddenly
brought to a standstill by natural disaster and,
with the exception of a handful of houses,
remained in that state for thousands of years.
This famous city, near Gullubahce, which has
attracted attention ever since it was discovered
in 1673, in fact since even earlier, is truly
impressive despite its diminutive size,
particularly in the orderliness it presents to the
eye. The Prienians created their city by following
a previously sketched out plan, in a way that is
astonishing even to people of our day. The area is
divided into islands of equal size, and these
islands are further divided into equal plots on
which, in particular, houses will be built.
Haphazard settlement of any kind is strictly
prohibited. The walls that divide the lots
uncovered in the excavations are a striking
indication of how important planning was for
people of antiquity. Likewise the principle of
equality. This texture, woven by the orderly
streets that intersect each other at right angles,
reflects another striking feature: Hippodamus,
originator of the `grid' or `checkerboard' city
Hippodamus of Miletus, who is thought to have
lived in the 5th century B.C., is said in the
ancient sources to have invented this form of
Although this theoretician, who is mentioned by
the famous philosopher Aristotle (4th century
B.C,) lived a full century before the founding of
Priene, the city put its signature on the ancient
world as the oldest and finest example of this
system of planning.
But Priene is not merely a model of the grid
system of city planning.
It also hands down values and traditions in its
surviving buildings, inscriptions and other
findings. The Prienians so nurtured their culture
in all its aspects that one cannot help but think
that they once lived extremely well here. For it
is a matter not only of functionality but also of
aesthetics, a refinement expressed even in the
city's marble defense walls. More care is lavished
on the facades of the houses that face the
avenues. Most of the sloping side streets are
equipped with steps. And the water brought down
from the mountains is distributed through clay
pipes over almost the entire city after being
purified in sedimentation pools.
The splendor of the fountains is apparent at every
turn in a successful harmonization of function and
The agora where the shops stood draws one into the
heart of the city.
This center, where people came together, is for
them both a marketplace and the area where
political, commercial and social activity of all
sorts takes place. To stroll in some place
different, to watch passersby or follow the
goings-on in the agora, they climb up to the long,
multi-columned `sacred Gallery', which is situated
somewhat higher up, opposite the main avenue that
passes through the market area. And if they want
to get a view of the Plain of the Meander
stretching into the distance and the bay, which is
filled in now with the river's alluvion, they go
up to another viewing gallery on an even higher
terrace, in front of the temple built for Athena,
goddess of cities. The builder of this temple is
Pytheus, architect of the monumental tomb of
Mausolus, which was one of the seven wonders of
the ancient world.
Meanwhile, as one of the best preserved sites of
antiquity, the assembly building with its
600-person capacity, provides important
information concerning the system of government of
the period, as does the theater. It is thought
that the popular assembly that passed on the laws
also met at this 6500-person theater where
tragedies and comedies were acted. The pedestal of
the water clock found here and the space reserved
for the actors in the stage structure stand out as
rare examples of their kind. In the Gymnasium,
graffiti such as "This is Alexander's place" or
"This is Apollo's place", which are commonly
inscribed on the walls of sports and training
centers, offer fascinating further insight into
the youth of Priene.
Although they were not particularly wealthy, the
Prienians, whose economy was based on agriculture,
were in no way inferior to the other cities of
their time in either splendor or skill.
Their public buildings, where every single detail
was worked out with meticulous care, are
monumental and quite eye-catching. The names of
the citizens who labored on behalf of the city or
made financial contributions are honored with
statues or plaques. Beyond sponsorship, a
condition of being an official, bureaucrat,
administrator or priest was that one should
underwrite some of the city's expenses or
activities. Indeed the blatant sale of offices is
even observed, in return for privileges such as
occupying the seat of honor at the theater,
wearing a crown on special days or being hosted at
the state guesthouse.
Archaeological excavations at Priene today are
being conducted by Wulf Raeck of the University of
Frankfurt. One of the new discoveries recently
made by the team, which is focusing its efforts on
the residential areas and the vicinity of the
Temple of Athena, is that the disaster sustained
by the houses on the city's west side was caused
by an earthquake.
Meanwhile a subject of particular interest to
Raeck, who reports that they have begun to obtain
more enlightening information about the city's
development, is where archaic Priene was situated.
All that is known is that the Prienians abandoned
their old settlements and, coming to Gullubahce,
created their new city here.

- Having finally gotten over that nasty case of pinkeye, Leo is currently sufferieng though an even rougher bout of pinkear. Remember to wash your hands, kids!
Scorsese's schlocky thriller Shutter Island is the big release this week. I wish I had better news for you, but, uh, it's pretty crappy. Sorry about that.
Happy Tears is a film in which Demi Moore and Parker Posey take care of their aging father (Rip Torn). Like The Savages, Happy Tears deals with grown-up kids having to look after their parents; if these films are accurate, such relationships always involve copious amounts of geriatric feces.
Halo Legends also came out earlier this week—if you're really into Halo or really into anime, it's probably worth a look, but if you don't know what a Master Chief and/or a Dragon Ball is, don't bother.
As it was last week, our Film Shorts section is bursting with rundowns and opinions on what's playing at the Portland International Film Festival, the Cascade Festival of African Films, and the Beer & Movie Fest. Also, there are short reviews of the 2010 Oscar Nominated Shorts programs (both animated and live action), Four Seasons Lodge, and more. If I had to pick one thing to recommend seeing this weekend, it'd probably be House, which is screening at Cinema 21 as part of the Beer & Movie Fest (it'll also return to Cinema 21 next month, from March 1-4). Ned says:
Seven Japanese schoolgirls visit a haunted house in Nobuhiko Obayashi's 1977 head-trip, which is quite simply one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen. The effects are incredibly cheesy and the movie refuses to settle on a consistent tone, but Obayashi's visual style creates a wispy, sugary dream world that gushes with blood. NED LANNAMANN
He forgot to mention CATS VOMITING BLOOD and CARNIVOROUS PIANOS!

Genres comedy historical

This short film was inspired by the story told in the prose written by Jia Pingwa to memorize his father in 1989. Set on the North Shannxi Loess Plateau, the story tells about two boys trying to sell a pig, the only valuable property of the poor family, for food. However, things go wrong. The film was artistically designed to present the spectacular and broad scenery of the Loess Plateau as well as the simple life of the people.

This is a black humor about the difficult years in the northwest of China in 1970s.

Mining For Light
2014 - This mixed media sculpture of tar, rubber, moss, acrylic and mirror was created especially for the brilliantly conceived Consenses multimedia art exhibition. Producer and Curator Sally Taylor asked artists to draw inspiration of their works based on an anonymous work given to them by another artist, which was in turn translated in to another creative medium by another artist. The chains of creative interpretation were begun from a secret source and passed on without knowing the other artists.
Unbeknownst to us, each chain of artwork started with a photograph of a special place on the island of Martha's Vineyard. This first interpretation of that image started a secret exchange that created a chain of creative expression which included: photography, music composition, scents, dance, sculpture, painting, video works, even custom made teas. As a vast expression of the senses, Consenses explored the myriad creative ways to interpret an idea, that involved artists from around the world.
Mining for Light was created after I was given an anonymous video of a woman's modern dance choreography - with no sound. Like each artist involved, I was told to create an interpretation within one to two weeks. The expression of my sculptural form is a micro illustration of a macro concept: within ourselves and every stratum of our Earth, there contains a dynamic life force that sustains us - if we, in turn, sustain it.
At the end of the creative chain, when it was fulfilled by different artists in different mediums, it was revealed to us that the source image of this art work was a great old oak tree.
For sale at the Consenses Art Auction on Martha's Vineyard in September 2016
False Prophet
2014 - A personal project borne out of a need to express my view of the creation of system circuitry that will lead to AI (Artificial Intelligence).

To Go Where Your VisionPoints, a few inspiration points for you and your business.
It's ironic that retailers and restaurants live or die on customer service, yet their employees have some of the lowest pay and worst benefits of any industry. That's one reason so many retail experiences are mediocre for the public.
—Howard Schultz
A follow-up to yesterday's article: If good staff have been hired (I hate to say it but it seems too often that such a hiring is accidental), how long can we expect them to stay without good wages? How many more Maximum Customer Experiences would staff try to create if they were given the respect of excellent pay?
Good people = great business investments.
Grow and be well,
Kelly Erickson

That's why McDonald's does so well — in the 'burbs and smaller communities anyway: they hire the teenage up-and-comers who know that having McDonald's on their resume will open other jobs later. Generally, they get a low hourly wage, but they're working hard for the sake of their future.
At least that's how it used work. (And baby, look at me now!)
.-= Graham Strong´s latest blog… Day 14 – Daddy's Going to Pay For Your Crashed Car =-.
Stop, now I'm having a flashback.
*shakes head vigorously to get rid of the flood of McMemories*
True, the newest people to the workforce can appreciate lower wages much more than older staff would. Still, these days I find that even those young folks are supreme job-hoppers—meaning they never master anyone's skills or values as they hop around—and I think the low wages are a big part of that lack of loyalty.
Back when we teens didn't have many other employment options, yes, McDs could keep us quite a long time. But now, we hop on a bus and we can head for a job at the mall or in the city, and even in small towns there are more quickservice-type jobs around… tougher to create those devoted employees who build their résumé with the company now.
I remember a study a while back that said that for every extra 50 cents paid at low-end jobs, employers saved something like 75 cents in productivity, training, hiring, etc…. makes me wonder why this is still so hard for (some) employers to understand. IMO, it should be one obvious route to market dominance.
