They were perhaps, the greatest literary rivals of the twentieth century, brothers in self- destructive brilliance. F. Scott Fitzgerald came first, but Ernest Hemingway had the last word.
In October 2001, the trustees of Hemingway's estate sent a fax to an unsuspecting DeWitt Sage. The filmmaker's documentary, F. Scott Fitzgerald: Winter Dreams, had just aired, and, "if there was a villain in that film, it was Ernest Hemingway," admits Sage.
"We were prepared for the worst," says Sage, but it is not what they got. Instead, Hemingway's trustees offered the filmmakers unprecedented access to archival records and to family members and friends who had seldom, if ever, spoken about the writer on film. The result is Ernest Hemingway: Rivers to the Sea. The latest installment in WNET's American Masters documentary series will air September 14 on PBS.
The estate's timing was perfect. "Hemingway remains tremendously interesting." says Susan Lacy, executive producer and creator of the series. "His influence does not cease."
The film includes interviews with Patrick Hemingway, the author's only surviving son. "Patrick Hemingway doesn't do a lot of interviews," explains Lacy. "This original footage and the archives allowed us to do an original treatment. This isn't a traditional biography. It's very much about the inner voice. There was the public Hemingway and then there was the voice of the writer."
It is the writer that Sage gives voice to, in part by avoiding a traditional narrative voice-over. "I've never liked the outside voice in film, either documentary or dramatic form," he confesses. "I feel it removes us. I think film is very good at illusion. It gives us the illusion we're involved viscerally in something."
Without a narrator, it is Hemingway's writing, delivered by a storyteller, that is the organizing principle of the film. With that in mind, the documentary team has created a pastiche of words and images, illustrating pieces of Hemingway's stories and correspondence with scenes from the places he wrote about.
More than eighty years have passed since his first collection, Three Stories and a Ten Poems was released in 1923. From the start, he broke new ground in ways that influenced his contemporaries and successors. His ambition was to write what he called "one true sentence."
"Hemingway set out to create a new form of expression, to describe action and emotion in the simplest and truest terms,"according to Lacy. "He discarded unnecessary words, stripped away narrative flourishes and sought to distill the experience of war, loss, and love into a form immediately accessible to the reader."
Hemingway was hailed by literary historian Van Wyck Brooks as a "twentieth-century Twain,"and Joan Didion claimed he "made the English language new." His spare, narrative style broke away from the ornate and overwritten prose that characterized many nineteenth century American authors.
With a passage from the "Three Shots," a short story steeped in Hemingway's youth, the filmmakers begin revealing the author.
"Nick was undressing in the tent. He saw the shadows of his father and Uncle George cast by the fire on the canvas wall. He felt very uncomfortable and ashamed and undressed as fast as he could, piling his clothes neatly. He was ashamed because undressing reminded him of the night before."
The night before, Nick had fired his gun to calm his fears while the men were away. As the storyteller narrates, a loon flies low across a twilit Midwestern lake. The quiet, reflective voice does not belong to the hard-drinking, hard-fighting "Papa" Hemingway of Key West legend. And this is exactly what DeWitt Sage intends.
"I wanted the core of the film to be a portrait of Hemingway through his art," he says. "There's a huge disconnect between the swaggering image and the art. Hemingway's work was not about heroics and bullfights. It was about surviving the indignities of life. How do we survive with any dignity? He was a writer of pain."
Hadley Richardson, the first of Hemingway's four wives, understood this as well as anyone. "Ernest," she wrote, "could walk into a room and gauge the pain quotient." In her view, there were "so many sides to him you could hardly make a sketch of him in a geometry book."
Sage agrees with the assessment. Sage contrasts Hemingway with Fitzgerald, who "was an artist who I had felt great sympathy for as a human being, so it made my life easier".
"With Ernest Hemingway, I have great admiration for him because of what he did as a writer,"says Sage. "I don't have great admiration for him as a human being. He was very cocky, extremely competitive, a wonderfully warm human being on one hand and cold and cruelly calculating on the other. Just for me personally, he's a harder man to connect with emotionally than many others."
To bridge the gulf between Hemingway's sensitivity as a writer and his "brusque and cocky character," Sage followed his trail from Oak Park, Illinois, to Paris, Milan, Madrid, and Havana, and ending in Ketchum, Idaho.
Rivers to the Sea is organized in five acts. The first part shows scenes of Hemingway's war in Italy interspersed with letters and an interview with his sister, Carol Hemingway Gardner. It describes Hemingway's time as an ambulance driver during the war and his love for Agnes von Kurowsky, the nurse who cared for him after his near fatal wounding on the front. Pieces of his World War I experiences would later make their way into A Farewell to Arms and the short story, "In Another Country."
The second part takes viewers to Paris in the 1920s, where Hemingway met Fitzgerald, John Dos Passos, Ezra Pound, and Archibald MacLeish.
"He really was part of an experiment in Paris, very self-consciously trying to do something new," says Lacy. At twenty-three, Hemingway sat with Gertrude Stein and James Joyce and spent days studying paintings by Cézanne in an attempt to obey Ezra Pound's exhortations to "make it new!"
Sage overlays scenes of Paris with contrasting pieces of prose. The words reveal how Hemingway was influenced by Stein's repetitions in "Miss Furr and Miss Skeene."
"Helen Furr had quite a pleasant home. Mrs. Furr was quite a pleasant woman. Mr. Furr was quite a pleasant man. Helen Furr had quite a pleasant voice quite worth cultivating. . ."
Hemingway took a similar rhythmic approach in "Mr. and Mrs. Elliot."
"Mr. and Mrs. Elliot tried very hard to have a baby. They tried as often as Mrs. Elliot could stand it. They tried in Boston after they were married and they tried coming over on the boat. They did not try very often on the boat because Mrs. Elliot was quite sick. She was sick and when she was sick she was sick as Southern women are sick."
Hemingway's Paris years were a time of great productivity. In 1926, Charles Scribner's and Sons published The Sun Also Rises, which catapulted him to prominence and brought critical acclaim—except within his family. Hemingway's mother wrote, "Every page fills me with sick loathing."
"It is a doubtful honor to produce one of the filthiest books of the year," Grace Hemingway told her son. Had it been written by another writer, she said, she would have pitched into the fire.
Hemingway said that an unhappy childhood was the best early training for a writer. The film touches on that and uses the words from "Fathers and Sons" to explore paternal disappointment. The story was published in 1933, five years after his father, Clarence Hemingway, committed suicide with a Civil War pistol. The viewer sees a photo of Ernest's father and hears the storyteller:
"Was he greater than you?"
"He was a much better shot and his father was a great shot too."
"I'll bet he wasn't any better than you."
"Oh yes he was. He shot very quickly and beautifully. I'd rather see him shoot than any man I ever knew. He was always very disappointed in the way I shot."
As his fame grew, Hemingway began crafting the "Papa" persona—hard-drinking playboy sportsman—going from writer to macho movie star-style celebrity. Magazine articles in Esquire, Collier's, Life, and other periodicals began to imbue Hemingway with the allure of his characters. An adventurer-hungry public clamored for more exploits . . . regardless of whether they had read his work.
Hemingway's adventuring took him to Spain, where he covered the Spanish Civil War and sided with the Loyalists against General Francisco Franco's Fascists. The war colored his next novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls, published in 1940. When it appeared, it restored his literary reputation.
Edmund Wilson wrote: "The big game hunter, the waterside superman, the Hotel Florida Stalinist, with their constrained and fevered attitudes, have evaporated like the fantasies of alcohol. Hemingway the artist is with us again; and it is like having an old friend back."
The film's final section covers Hemingway's years in Cuba and Ketchum, Idaho. In deteriorating health, Hemingway wrote The Old Man and the Sea at his home on the outskirts of Havana, inspired by the locals. The book won the Pulitzer Prize in 1952, and two years later, Hemingway received the Nobel Prize for Literature. Mired in depression and alcoholism, creative powers exhausted, Hemingway retreated to Ketchum in 1960. The following year, he ended his life with a shotgun blast.
The film closes with the words of his friend Archibald MacLeish:
There must be
Moments when we see right
Although we say we can't. I knew
A fisher who could lean and look
Blind into dazzle on the sea
And strike into that fire his hook,
Far under, and lean back and laugh
And let the line run out, and reel
What rod could weigh nor line
could feel
The heavy silver of his wish,
And when the reel-spool faltered,
And with a fumbling hand that shook
Boat, all bloody from the gaff,
A shivering fish.

Luke Williams said he was gutted about the manner of the defeat United endured on Saturday, as Peterborough United ran out 4-0 victors at Glanford Park.
Connor Washington bagged an impressive hat-trick, with Michael Bostwick the other scorer from the spot.
Williams told The Iron Player HD: "All the lads are gutted and it's not what we want to have on the pitch.
"They were a good side and they made their chances and took them well; which is the main thing from their point of view.
"It was devastating. To come off the back of a really good win in mid-week and to go and get beat like that and the way we did, it's just embarrassing really."
Despite the loss, Williams was awarded the sponsors man of the match, but he thought he could have done more to influence the game.
"I think I could have done a bit better. I felt I needed to get on the ball a bit more, and affect the game more too. It was a bad performance all round and I think the man of the match could have gone to anyone on the pitch, because no-one really stood out."
The Iron bounced back from two defeats on Tuesday at Bury, and Williams is confident the team can do it again, but stresses the need to find some consistency.
"We've bounced back before, but we don't want to be doing it every other week. We want to go on a good run of games like we did not long ago, and put ourselves in and amongst it."
United travel to London next week for the second round of the FA Cup, with Leyton Orient the opponents. Williams hopes a win can help the team regain their confidence.
"Maybe we can go to Orient and get a good win, go through to the next round and pick up our confidence again."

This is a sponsored guest post.
As you count down the days to homecoming, you'll probably be looking to check everything off your list of 'to-dos' that you can. Here are several tips we can offer to make sure the day of the dance goes smoothly and that you are prepared beforehand.
- Check Your 'Do
Several weeks before the dance, start caring for those locks like they're going to run the show. Start incorporating hair masks into your routine, like coconut oil hair marks, concentrating most of the application on the ends. You can even wrap your hair and leave the mask on overnight to increase the absorption. Do this on the weekend since it may take a couple rinses to get all the oil out. You'll also want to book an appointment with your stylist a few weeks beforehand to trim any ends and freshen your cut.
- Find your dress
You'll want to start shopping for your dress quite a few months before the big day. Many dresses start to sell out early and local boutiques will often keep lists of local schools and which girls are wearing what dress so that they don't sell duplicates. If you want to get something totally new, we recommend shopping online at a site like JJ's House, which has hundreds of dress styles at affordable prices.
- Get your shoes
We can't stress this enough: get your shoes early and wear them often before the dance. The last thing you want is to invest in an adorable pair of heels, only to put them on for the first time the night of the dance and realize they're terribly uncomfortable. That and high heels, like any other shoe, need to be broken in overtime to make them more comfortable. This will mean you can dance all night long in comfort and style!
- Skin care
As tempting as it may be, this is not the time to start experimenting with new products or skincare regimes. It takes our skin an average of six weeks to acclimatize to a new skincare regime and, while it's acclimatizing, you can experience issues like irritation, breakouts, and other unpleasant side effects that you do not want to battle with on the day of the dance.
If you're wearing a strapless or a shorter dress and want to look tan, skip the beds and go in for a spray tan. We recommend getting the spray tan done once or twice before the dance as well to see how your skin responds. And don't cheap out! You get what you pay for with these.
- Test drive
A week before the dance, do a test run with your hair, makeup and outfit to see how everything comes together. You don't want to be scrambling for idea the day off, so get your Pinterest board together and figure out exactly how your look is coming together before you need to debut it.

As well as an extensive menu, there's space for community activities too...
It's highly unlikely that you will ever have enough money to convert a church into your home, and let's face it, can you really be arsed? Fortunately the guys behind Junkyard and Boilermaker were arsed and have taken on the church on Trent Boulevard, West Bridgford, and converted it into an awesome, airy space with a devotion to the community too: there's space at the back for yoga, exhibitions, makers fairs and laid back sunday DJ sessions.
It's family friendly but not full of screaming kids running around like crazy - they are all too occupied by the retro arcade games and other cool stuff to do. Obviously there's a wicked selection of craft beers, cocktails and decent coffee to be had as well.
They also do blooming good pizza, with twelve inch or six inch "piccolo" size. As a sucker for an interesting favour combo, I went for the lamb shoulder, mozzarella, prunes and jalapenos (piccolo £5.50) which was ace. My dining partner chose taleggio, portobello mushroom, garlic, lemon and thyme oil (piccolo £5) which also good and earthy.
Choosing the smaller pizzas gave us room for some sides too: white anchovies marinated in lemon and chilli (£3) are always good - silky smooth and light unlike the intensely salty, darker ones usually found on pizzas. The beef and smoked pancetta meatballs with chilli creme (£5) were really delightful, and the white base for the sauce made an interesting change from the standard tomato based meatball sauce.
There's a few outside tables and because it was unusually warm for late Feb, we sat in the sun and had a couple of ice creams (£3.50 for two scoops) to finish. Lovely.

Skip to comments.Crannog site revealed after lake's level drops
Posted on 06/29/2010 7:23:44 PM PDT by SunkenCiv
The recent prolonged dry weather spell which put pressure on water supplies in the west has proven to be good news for archaeologists.
The low water table on the western lakes and rivers has yielded a number of significant finds in Connemara, according to archaeologist Michael Gibbons.
Among them has been a new crannóg site which is part of a complex in the south Connemara area. It was located by Co Galway silversmith and archaeological student Ruairí O'Neill and a friend, John Foley, while exploring Lough Dhúleitir, north of Carna. Mr Gibbons, who lectures on Mr O'Neill's course, said that it was a "fine example" of a small crannóg. The lake is overlooked by an abandoned 19th-century settlement.
"This is one of a wonderful group of six sites between Carna and Cill Chiaráin," Mr Gibbons said. The distribution extends from Doon Loughan to Lough na Tulaí near Indreabhán in south Connemara. Crannógs, derived from "crann", the Irish word for tree, were artificial islands built as dwellings in prehistoric and medieval times on lakes and in estuaries.
"Similar groups of stone crannógs are found in parts of Mayo, west Donegal and throughout the outer Hebrides in western Scotland and they range in date from the neolithic down to the 17th century, with the O'Flaherty's castle built on top of one such lake dwelling," Mr Gibbons said.
"They are part of the hidden heritage of the glacially scoured granite lands of south and west Connemara," he added.

Nottingham Forest Under 23s suffered their first defeat of the season as Ipswich Town ran out winners in the Professional Development League.
Despite leading twice, two penalties helped the visitors to a 5-2 victory as their strong second-half showing was too much for Jack Lester's side.
Forest had twice gone in front in the first half through Aaron Smith and Lewis Walters, but a Ben Morris brace and goals from Shane McLoughlin, Ben Folami and James Blanchfield sealed the victory for the Tractor Boys.
The opening ten minutes were lively with Ipswich in the ascendency. Defender Pat Webber saw his cross-shot bounce off the post, with Folami's follow-up shot blocked.
But despite their early pressure, the visitors found themselves behind as Smith continued his fine scoring form on the eight-minute mark. A Virgil Gomis ball found the midfielder in space on the right and he fired the ball low and hard to put The Reds in the lead.
Ipswich continued to press forward and won a penalty on 20 minutes after a tussle in the box at a corner. Midfielder McLoughlin stepped up to send Dimitar Evtimov the wrong way and bring the Tractor Boys level.
Forest showed their clinical nature as Walters restored the lead on 25. Smith turned provider as he found space to see his pass loop over the Ipswich defence for Walters to race onto and chip over the onrushing Michael Crowe.
Ipswich found their rhythm again in the second half as pressure inside the Forest box resulted in another penalty. Defender Adam Crookes committed the foul on Chris Smith on 59 minutes following a corner and forward Morris took the responsibility to slot the ball into the back of the net.
Both sides continued to cause problems for the goalkeepers and on 71 minutes it was the visitors' turn to take the lead as first-half substitute Conor McKendry whipped an inviting ball in from the left-hand side to find an unmarked Morris to head in his second goal of the game.
Following their comeback, Ipswich continued to compound the misery for the Forest defence as good build-up play found an in-form McKendry who squared the ball to find Folami to slot into an empty net.
The result was confirmed three minutes from time as midfielder Blanchfield found space outside the area and his curling effort went past the stretching Evtimov.

How can we possibly incorporate self-care into our lives when we're overworked, exhausted, and time and money are in short supply? One of the biggest hurdles is changing our mindsets about what qualifies as self-care. Yoga, spin, massage, and vacation time are often out of the question when working your way through school or just starting out in your career. And for those who can afford these activities, time is often in short supply. Self-care should not be a one-size fits all model, because we all have different circumstances and needs. So, with this in mind, what are some realistic ways to incorporate self-care?
Mindfulness 101
Mindfulness is a hot topic. You may have heard it mentioned in radio commercials, on tv, or even at happy hour. But, what exactly is mindfulness? Mindfulness is the act of purposefully calling your attention to the present moment without judgement. Its benefits have been well documented. Mindfulness can improve your concentration, reduce anxiety, and decrease racing thoughts. It can also help you to become a more active and aware participant in your daily activities and relationships.

The Alternative Resolution Centre of Botswana (ARCB) was launched on November 25 to help deal with the backlog of civil cases. The director of the centre Rebaone Mmereki said they have launched the centre use to give the citizens of Botswana quicker access to justice and help quicken the rate of case dispensation in the courts. Mediation and arbitration are used to resolve cases under this dispensation. In the context of negotiation, an arbitrator will be duly appointed to help resolve a dispute and give judgement. The pool of arbitrators will be drawn from an array of legal academic experts. He believes investor confidence can also be boosted because of matters being resolved quickly and efficiently.
Former Ambassador of Botswana to the United States of America Tebelelo Seretse, who is also a retired law professional, said that she is very happy about the launching of the centre because she believes that it was long overdue. She said one of the problems with colonisation is that it forces people to throw away even the good things. "Dispute resolution has always been used, and a centre like this will be so helpful," she said. According to Seretse the pride of the nation is on two things, which are the freedom of justice and the freedom of press, because these two can either break or make a nation. She said there should be evident separation in the legislative, judicial and executive in order to show that freedom prevails.
Industrial Court Judge President Justice Maruping said mediation in particular will allow for parties to reach a resolution by their own efforts because that is the method that has always been used by chiefs to mediate. He also referred to this as just a stop further to formalising the mandate. "This will assist in resolution of cases through the use of lawyers and retired judges, "he said. He said as the judicial system they are very supportive and want to see the centre grow.

AuMake opens Sydney flagship store
AuMake has opened its flagship store at George Street in Sydney. The ASX-listed daigou retailer said the new store will complement its existing network as part of the company's strategy to connect Australian products with Chinese consumers.
The company said its flagship store on Sydney's George Street is positioned to maximise the Chinese tourist trade and features new brands and store format which will be rolled out across existing and new stores over the next 12 months.
AuMake chairman Keong Chan said the store opening was symbolic of the company's desire to increase Chinese consumer access to genuine Australian product and comes off the back of recent brand and trademark acquisitions (Health Essence, Jumbuck, UGG AUS) and an alliance announced with the Australian Made Campaign Limited, administrators of the Australian Made logo.
"Since ASX-listing in early October we've been focused on rapidly delivering on our strategic growth drivers – acquiring brands, building on new and existing supplier partnerships and growing our store network. Today marks yet another milestone in what is an incredibly exciting time to be part of AuMake's journey," said Chan.
With recent reports suggesting Chinese tourist numbers will triple by 2026, AuMake's managing director Joshua Zhou said, "AuMake's intention is to make Chinese tourists feel very welcome so their connection to Australia and Australian product continues long after they've gone home.
"Chinese tourists come to Australia to immerse themselves in our culture and soak up every experience, including purchasing authentic Australian products. Having in-demand Australian product available, with no purchasing limits, knowledgeable bilingual staff and payment options they are familiar with, including WeChat Pay, Alipay, Unionpay, is the basis of building
a long-term relationship with Chinese tourists and daigou," said Zhou.
"We know that 10 per cent of AuMake's current sales comprise payments received from China via WeChat Pay and AliPay. Growing our retail store footprint in Australia, to expand our reach to Chinese tourists and daigou while they are here, is key to building a strong network of ambassadors for AuMake and our Australian brands once they return home," added Chan.
AuMake's George Street store is open from 10.30am to 9:00pm, seven days a week.

Periodically, we're using this blog to
profile some of the companies that participated in NVIDIA's Emerging
Companies Summit (ECS 2009). ECS 2010 will take place Sept. 20 – 23 at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, California, during the GPU Technology Conference.
Augmented Reality (AR) technology might soon be hitting a store near you, thanks to some innovative work by metaio, which uses NVIDIA technology to create information overlays that you can see when you look at an object – such as a shoe or car or toy – with a computer or smart phone screen. One of their latest projects is a very cool kiosk for Lego, the Danish toy manufacturer that helps consumers see 3D animations of finished Lego sets, simply by holding up a product box to the kiosk screen. (Check out the video below to see how it works.)
AR adds a layer of information to the real world. People may use AR on smart phones – for example, pointing their phone's camera at a restaurant to pull up a review. And there are several AR games that use smart phones and GPS. In more complex implementations, AR might enable something like the interactive data displays Tom Cruise plays with in Minority Report. Whatever way it's used, AR technology relies on GPUs for both image processing and computer vision.
In the case of Lego toys, consumers often want to know what the finished product will look like, but assembling the sets can take hours. Giving potential buyers (i.e., kids) a virtual experience of the finished set can make them more excited about it, helping drive sales. To help consumers understand the product better before purchase, metaio created something called the Lego Digital Box. Consumers in Lego stores take the product they're interested in and hold it up to the Digital Box screen to see a real-time 3D animation of the finished construction – from any angle and in perfect detail. The kiosk – which uses a webcam in conjunction with metaio AR technology – has been such a success that Lego is rolling it out to its stores worldwide.
metaio uses NVIDIA GeForce 285 GTX GPUs to create its high-performance AR displays. The Lego models involve millions of polygons, displayed in real-time 3D HD. To deliver the necessary performance and quality, metaio uses CUDA programming to perform the computationally intensive image processing algorithms.
Other metaio projects include AR games packaged with special editions of Adidas shoes and work with the automobile industry. You can learn more (and see a gallery of their work) at their website.

It was during the second session on the R version that I started pushing the bike and I realised the difference between the two bikes. The R feels more nimble, agile, and much sharper than the standard GSXR.
Exiting the slippery last corner in second all hell was let loose as I unleashed the 202 PS of power; first the traction control stopped the rear from spinning up and, when it hooked up, the front end went light and the steering head shook its head before settling down. At the end of the start-finish straight the digital speedometer flashed 240 km/h before I hit the anchors and shifted down, using the power shifter, and trail braking past the first apex into first gear before flicking it right, late apexing the second right, immediately flicking to the left and powering out, up to second and straight line the next corner and braked hard before turning left, not using the full width of the track on the exit to get the correct line for the next corner which is a right-hander. It is important that you get a good drive out of this corner as I shifted up to third before braking hard and shifting back to first, entering the slowest left-right combination of corners on the track. From here up to the start-finish straight the newly laid tarmac is very lumpy and it is very difficult to put down a decent amount of power.
Then it was flick up a gear, climb back across the bike and tip into the next left-hander, with the GSX-R's fairly roomy size helping to make it notably agile with my above-average Indian body on board. Its fairing is slightly narrower but the tank is lower, giving more space to crouch behind the screen. More importantly, the seat-to-footrest distance seemed relatively generous, so I hardly ever experienced the familiar struggle to get my boots set on the pegs in time for a fast-approaching bend, or to hook another gear while exiting a turn.
For track use I've a feeling that the GSX-R's roominess might be as crucial as its power and weight figures to my enjoyment and pace, though shorter riders might have a very different take. The leg-room would also be welcome on the road, though there you'd be more likely to appreciate the Low RPM Assist function, or the light-action slip-assist clutch.
You have to applaud Suzuki for their effort with this bike, that's for sure. It's been a long time coming but they've given it their best shot: from the innovative Variable Valve Timing to details such as the more aerodynamic mirrors and flat-topped fairing mount bolts, and the front brake lever with its race bike-like slot to prevent high-speed activation by the wind. Maybe, the styling remains a bit familiar and uninspiring but that seems to matter less when the bike itself is so dramatically improved.
The GSX-R1000R also has LED position lights above its fairing's air intakes, a lighter top triple clamp, lightweight lithium-ion battery, and a launch control function that allows efficient racetrack starts with the throttle held open. More usefully, it incorporates the quick-shifter.
Whether the GSX-R1000R ends up being quicker than its rivals in the 200-PS club of motorcycling remains to be seen, but it surely won't be far off and should make a fine road bike too. Importantly, it has that distinctive family character very much in place.

Wunan News News & Updates from the field
Dec 4 2019
Born out of necessity to provide high quality accounting and financial services to local Indigenous businesses and community groups, iBase has seen some impressive growth over the years. In addition to providing innovative accounting solutions, iBase has been working towards digitising their record keeping to minimise the usage of paper in their organisation. According to the National Waste Report, 2018, the decline of newspaper circulation and the digitisation of information was partially responsible for a decline in the amount of paper and cardboard waste that ended up in Australian landfills over the last decade (Industry Edge 2018). 'At this point, we can't go fully paperless.' Said David Selvendra, founder and Business Services Manager of iBase. 'This is not going to be an overnight change but a long-term journey towards predominantly digitised record keeping and communication'. In addition to the obvious environmental benefits, going digital has proven to be beneficial for […] Read More.

Go Rest High On That Mountain
Well, this is not about me, or about the love, or about any of those things of which I write about constantly. And no this isn't about my weirdness or all the stupid thing I do. This is about those harsh realities of life which when befall on you, wind gets sucked out from your lungs. I can't say that this won't happen coz it is the ultimate truth, all I can pray is that God gives you strength and belief to bear in those time of doubt & uncertainty.
This post is about losing someone close to you. This post is for my dear, dearest sweetheart who recently lost one of her virtual friend and one of her family member. This is for the remembrance of those whom I never had the pleasure to meet and yet the stories, the pics I've seen tell me that they were are larger than life. Now, ppl say these terms like that for each other all the time but for me words don't come easy or cheap. I mean what all I say, well unless you gave me a reason to go back on my words.
Life is a very fragile thing, very delicate. It is attached with so many emotions, so many hopes, so many promises. And death, death is the finality, that truth we all know. We all are living, we have our own circle, own set of ppl we interact with, we grow close to someone who are not our immediate family, we share their laughter, we bask in their joy and we feel the same sadness with 'em too. And the stories I've heard about the person, the depth of emotion which ran through her when she related all those memories with me, I knew I'm lucky to witness such purity.
Memories will start fading away, you'll grow out of the mask of sadness, you'll laugh again too but there are some scars which will always be there. Some emptiness which will never be filled, you'll never be the same coz the loss you just had it will be void, like space. You'll only feel it. So, let it hurt, let it cry you out. Call God all the names, tell Him what He did was wrong. He had no right to uproot the pillar of the family, leaving everyone hurt and broken inside.
And then find me in that hour of darkness, I'll comfort you. I won't say I'll take away the pain but yes I'll share it. I'll listen to all your stories, I'll provide my coverall for you too clean that snot (I told you the reason over phn for that, didn't I), I'll be with you every step. You're never alone, you'll never be alone. If I couldn't make you smile through your tears, I'll just make you a cup of hot chocolate. How's that for some comfort?
I've got you girl, I've got you.
(To be Contd..)

Yes its winter
Hello fabulous ladies! I realized that during these dark cold winter monthes all I really want to do at night is cozy up with a good book or watch a memorable movie. I'm almost half way thru Peace Like a River- wow! What a great one, the kids are just so sweet- I'm totally absorbed in the trek to find Davy. Anyone else reading it?? I also read Water For Elephants recently, that one also sucks you into to the drama behind the scenes of a travelling circus.
As for movies, I watched Water- a foreign film about widows in India. The main character is an 8 yr old widow- just imagine being a widow at 8! Enough said, I'm glad our laws/customs are different over here. My only warning is that it is subtitled.
It just keeps snowing up here in MT. So I am loving the powder. But I gotta say the best day so far was over in Utah at Powder Mtn- a very last minute trip that resulted in untracked powder all day long!! Yippie!!
But, if you're sick of winter remember that its the season for Salmon River permits. Go check them out- apps have to be in by the 31st of January. Maybe a little river reunion??? Enjoy the weekend!
