A campaign against cuts to public education has been launched by the NSW Teachers Federation.
A $1.7billion decrease were announced by the NSW government and the Federation fears it will damage the education of students in schools and at TAFE colleges.
Teachers Federation Acting President Gary Zadkovich said the government had broken their promise.
''When the government announced its changed education policies they promised not to cut education funding — they lied,'' he said.
''In September 2012, they cut education funding by $1.7billion, the biggest cut to education in the history of NSW.
''By cutting over 1800 education staff and the programs they run, schools and colleges will be forced to do more with less.
''The advertising blitz is part of the ongoing campaign to stop this happening by forcing the government to reverse the cuts.''

"This card is so beautiful! I didn't realize, at first, how the shading at te top was part of the card and not the photo that was imported, it made my picture evening amazing :) I recorded sooooo many compliments on it."
"We found this card perfect for the announcement of my granddaughter Averey. It allows for photos on the back as well. It is super adorable and current for today. Love!"
"I highly recommend this card for a sibling introduction. I received so many compliments from family and friends. They loved the way my 2 1/2 year old son introduced his new baby sister!! Very unique and adorable!! No complaints."
"So sweet! Announcements turned out beautifully. The colors in person are even better than on screen. Very sweet and simple. We used the "vintage" effect offered on our photo and it seemed to enhance the style of the whole announcement. Also shipping arrived faster than on conf receipt! Whole experience was five stars!"
"The card was a THANK YOU sent to folks who contributed to a fund raising walk for a fatal disease. My friend, who suffers from this disease, was pictured on the front with her husband. The card captured her positive spirit and in a bright color which matched the t-shirts color for our team, the words THANK YOU, were written. A personal message from me was on the back. I heard rave reviews from those who received them and many said they would frame the card."

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This is our Save the Date for our 10 year vow renewal. We are pleased with the out come. We also know we're going to get compliments on it and how fitting it is for our location."
"The design was one our top choices for wedding save the date, invitations, and response cards. The paper and printing were top quality and the ivory color added a nice touch of class. In the end, we decided to chose an alternative design as the intricate vines were a little too delicate for our liking, but overall a really great card. Would recommend"
"We chose this for our save the dates / invitations because we are getting married at a vineyard, and this print was by FAR the most elegant and interesting vineyard print! We used the light purple color for the "Save The Date" text at the top and changed it to be mostly lowercase because it looked off-balance to me when it was all capitals. I do wish the paper was slightly thicker, but at this price range, it was the sturdiest of all we ordered samples for. Everyone has loved the save the dates so far- tons of compliments! And we are using the print on our cake as well!!"
"We just received our save the dates tonight, and I could NOT be happier! They are SOO gorgeous! The paper quality is amazing, not what i was expecting at all. It's thick and luxurious! and the best part is, it's 30% recycled paper and you would never know it! They designed it exactly how I asked with no issues what so ever. I'm definitely ordering the matching wedding invitations ASAP! xoxo Thank you WPD! <3"
"This save the date card is simple, elegant and perfect for our waterfront weddng. I changed the font color, but do wish that the starfish color could be changed also. They were exactly how they looked on the computer and got here quickly. Very happy with everything."

Local lawmakers split on immigrant license bill
By Dave McKinney email@example.com January 8, 2013 4:06PM
State Rep. Tom Cross. | Steven Buyansky~Sun-Times Media
How they voted
By a 65-46 vote Tuesday, the Illinois House approved a measure making undocumented immigrants who have lived in Illinois for one year eligible to receive a temporary visitors driver's license that would last for three years. Those motorists would have to undergo rules-of-the-road training, take a vision test and show proof of auto insurance.
Here's how area legislators voted on the measure:
Yes: Linda Chapa LaVia, D-Aurora; Tom Cross, R-Oswego; Mike Fortner, R-West Chicago; Robert Pritchard, R-Hinckley; Darlene Senger, R-Naperville
No: Mike Connelly, R-Naperville; Kay Hatcher, R-Yorkville; Randy Ramey, R-West Chicago; Tim Schmitz, R-Batavia

SPRINGFIELD — Gov. Pat Quinn Tuesday signaled his intent to sign legislation that would grant undocumented immigrants three-year state driver's licenses, saying the measure that passed the House would wind up saving lives on Illinois roads.
"More than 250,000 immigrant motorists on our roads today have not passed a driving test, which presents a dangerous risk to other drivers," Quinn said in a statement that announced his plans to sign the bill. "Illinois roads will be safer if we ensure every driver learns the rules of the road and is trained to drive safely."
After a highly charged debate, the Illinois House passed the measure, Senate Bill 957, by a 65-46 margin, a vote that lit up the chamber with celebratory shouts and applause, and grants as many as 250,000 undocumented immigrants new legal recognition by the state. The bill was approved by the State Senate two days prior.
The nine members of the House from the Fox Valley and Naperville split their votes, with five in favor and four opposed.
"Under the eyes of God, we're all human beings," said Rep. Edward Acevedo, D-Chicago, the bill's chief House sponsor. "We come to this country — people come to this country — to fulfill the American dream. We can offer them that today."
Debate in the House lasted nearly 90 minutes, with critics arguing the new immigrant driver's licenses put the state on record as condoning illegal entry into the country, set up a system that can be exploited by fraud and ignore the fact immigration policy is a federal responsibility, not a state one.
"There will be fraud, abuse. All I have to say is people have called me a hater, a racist," said Rep. Randy Ramey, R-West Chicago, who voted against the plan. "All I'm doing is standing by what the Constitution of the United States of America says. If the fed government wants to change the rules, I'd stand by that."
Further, some GOP critics insisted there should be requirements that immigrant license applicants be fingerprinted and show federal tax identification numbers to verify their identities. But their position was at odds with their leader, House Minority Leader Tom Cross, R-Oswego, who voted for the plan.
"At the end of the day, forgetting just nuances of this particular bill, I'd like to think we'd continue to be a country and a state ... that remains open to the idea of people coming to our country, who want to do better, who want to have better lives, who want to work, who want to be part of our communities," Cross said. "We should work with them, not fight with them, as we move ahead as a state and a country."
Nine other House Republicans joined Cross as "yes" votes in Tuesday's roll call.
Other opponents, including several Chicago South Side Democrats, pointed out the unfairness of how someone in the U.S. legally can be deprived of driving privileges for not paying child support when those here illegally now could get a driver's license.
Under the plan, undocumented immigrants who have lived in Illinois for one year would be eligible to receive a temporary visitors driver's license that would last for three years.
Those motorists would undergo rules-of-the-road training, take a vision test and show proof of insurance.
Supporters called the bill a highway-safety measure because it will ensure that tens of thousands of immigrant drivers now on the roads illegally will undergo training and buy insurance.

The woman was not hurt in the crash Saturday evening along Chantry Flats Road in the Angeles National Forest, said Arcadia police Lt. Mike Castro.
A guardrail kept the car from going over a cliff, Castro said. After the crash, the driver, who was carrying a gun, ran into a house in Arcadia near the Santa Anita Dam. The home's residents escaped and called police.
After a standoff lasting several hours, sheriff's SWAT officers entered the home and arrested Patrick Anthony Gonzalez, of Los Angeles, according to Castro.
Gonzalez was hospitalized for unspecified injuries.
Castro said in a statement Sunday that investigators believe Gonzalez "was trying to commit suicide by driving off the road over the cliff, thus trying to murder his passenger."
No charges were immediately filed. An investigation was ongoing.

Vogue Preview: The Best from Rodarte for Target
This week I went to preview the Rodarte for Target collection. Although I'd gotten my hands on the look book a few weeks ago and seen the fantastic picture of Dakota Fanning wearing the leopard-print dress ($45) in Teen Vogue, I didn't want to write about the clothes until I'd seen them in person. There've been too many times when I've seen Target or H&M or Topshop clothes that have looked great in photos only to find that when I got to the store the fit and/or quality was not something I would spend money on.
What I like about the Rodarte clothes for Target is that Kate and Laura Mulleavy-who are known for their exquisitely ornate confections at sky-high designer prices-didn't try to morph what they show on the runway into something that could be sold for a fraction of the price. It seems to me that they chose styles and fabrics that suited the modest price tags. As Sally Singer notes in Vogue's December issue, Laura Mulleavy once turned up at a dinner during Paris Fashion Week wearing a brooch she described as "Sears. Twelve dollars." The Mulleavys, in other words, understand high-low.
Vogue's 100 Under $100 Fall Fashion Essentials
The clothes look and feel inexpensive, but in a good, authentic way. In general, the collection is a well-edited version of thrift-store greatest hits. And I mean thrift store, not trendy vintage store. There are sexy/sweet polyester-ish slip dresses, a furry faux-leopard peacoat, a demure sixties-inspired black lace dress, and a thin belt adorned with a bow. As I was pushing the clothes down the racks, I have to admit that I pretty much dismissed the dresses as too recognizable and fit specific, although I thought they'd really look cute on a young 20-something with just the right boob size to fill out the cups.
The only dress that tempted me was the one Dakota wore-I have a small collection of inexpensive leopard-printed items in my closet, and this could be a good addition. But the first wave of real lust overcame me when I spotted the lace cardigans. I want them in every color.
If you've been reading this blog regularly you also know that I'm going to grab every pair of lace tights I can get my hands on. (I'm still wearing the heart-embroidered Viktor & Rolf for H&M tights I bought in 2006.) The belts got me too. I'll take one of each-the brown leopard, the black leopard, and the solid black.
The Hottest Accessories for Spring
Another stunner was the denim shorts with a braided edge. About five years ago, Chloé did a denim collection with the same detail; I bought the miniskirt in blue denim, but always regretted not getting more. I don't know if the Rodarte girls were inspired by the Chloé ones or whether both Chloé and Rodarte were inspired by the same vintage find. Nonetheless, I'm thrilled to have another shot at them.
There's a cute print that appears on a T-shirt, a raincoat, and a bathing suit, but it's too specific for me; I feel I'd wear it once and move on. I was more excited by the classic navy-and-white long-sleeve tee; I'd stock up on two of those. And, lastly, I thought some of the bathing suits looked really promising. While the floral ones seemed like they were made for girls with great big boobs (not me), I was drawn to the more lingerie-looking lacy stuff. The idea of braving a bunch of psycho girls ready to tear your hair out to get their hands on affordable Rodarte intimidates me quite considerably, but I'll definitely make the effort to get to Target good and early when the collection hits the racks on December 20, and you should, too.

Note to publishers: Last I heard, London was only a 6-hour plane ride from New York City. And Canada? Even closer. So why do US fans have to wait nearly six months for A.S. Byatt's new novel, The Children's Book, which was published in the UK and Canada on April 21?
Set during the idealistic epoch before the Great War, The Children's Book is already being described as "a tour de force" "panoramic" and "a rich, sprawling chronicle" by various Canadian and British news outlets. What a shame that the US media won't get a chance to weigh in until October 6, Knopf's current publication date for the book. Sure, Byatt is your typical big-name literary fall release, but to really build momentum for a novel, wouldn't it be better if all the English-speaking media* were talking about it at once? (And for the record, I would have loved to take this one to the beach. The movie industry seems to have figured out that fall isn't the only time a serious film can do well—publishers should give it a try.)
The Internet doesn't differentiate between countries, and books are often impulse buys. By October, we might not remember that this is the same novel The Guardian called Byatt's Middlemarch, or we might have added too many other books to our reading lists—or we might have already ordered a copy from an overseas retailer. Guess Knopf is willing to roll the dice, but this type of arbitrary, disconnected publication schedule only makes books seem more archaic than most people already think they are.
Lucky Canadian blogger Crooked House has an excerpt.
*Australian release date is May 15 and New Zealand's was May 1, according to their Random House websites.

I was channel browsing on TV the other day and landed on a show that talked about people and how they can achieve natural highlights that doesn't look cheap and such; it was quite interesting. One good advantage of getting some highlights is that it can make your hair appear very lustrous and shiny and who wouldn't want that?! Before the show actually started, they mentioned that people must get realistic first (I thought this was funny, but also very true), because if you have dark hair and want to go blonde with natural highlights, it most likely won't work out well.
The thing is that you should not really go up or down more than 3 shades because when you do, it'll start looking unnatural. Most importantly is that if you're going to go dramatic, you should definitely get a consultation with a professional in order to sort out which color palettes will match best with your skin tone and facial features.
A colorist here at the salon mentioned that if you're new with highlighting, definitely start out with natural colors to get a feel for it; as you get a better feeling with it, then you can test your waters with more bold, funky colors.
As you can see here on model Alessandra Ambrosio, from the top lies the darker roots and the tresses have a rich brunette shade combined with a much lighter coloring which really plays well with her fair skin tone (making her look fabulous). As you can tell from the picture, it doesn't look cheap and obnoxious. The number one idea to good hair is to combine colors that work well together that would match individual skin tones.

Separated cycling infrastructure key to reaching a future we all want
The video embedded below describes "How the Dutch got their cycle paths". Key was a rapid increase in the cost of energy – mirroring in a large part, today's economic crisis.
In the early 1970′s the formation of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) caused a spike in oil prices. In the Netherlands, that lead to a government policy that encouraged cycling transportation. 40 years later the result is an extrodinary decrease in traffic death and injury, shorter average commute distances, and a rise in the quality of life an entire nation.
Today "Peak Oil" and/or the rise of Finance as an dominant sector of the economy, has lead to increased speculation in oil – and has again caused a spike in the price of energy. The same problems as the Netherlands solved through diversifying their transportation planning approach, now offers an example for North America today.
Along with this excellent lesson from a very recent implementation, are the understandings amoungst Urban Planners of the "New Urbanism" school – that cities have reached their peak holding capacity for automobile traffic; and a understanding by climate scientists – that we must reduce carbon emissions going froward or face extreme economic and political hardship in the near future … all pointing that progress lays in this direction.
Some great lessons also in the video for political tactics that might work today – towards beginning a great project to create separated bicycling infrastructure that is key to reaching the critical mass of commuters that do not use the automobile — in order to result in the quality of live improvement we all – including Mayor Ford – desire.
The project to create connected, separated cycling infrastructure from the suburbs to the cities core would be a generational project that will require an investment of Billions. It would be an investment in the future; a way to jump start the economy today; and a way to pull away from the dead-end economic policies that are leading to less public spending at a time when we must re-new our countries aging, great cities.
Here's the description – with links intact – from under the video:

Look at the tabs under the banner. Group Board is our public drawing board. And an IRC channel is...an IRC channel.
And the forum is prrreeeeetttty much just a giant chatroom... A post usually gets responded too super fast..
I could see having a chat...for faster communication..

Getting started
The nutritional benefits of eating fruits and vegetables are undeniable, but what about drinking them instead? Infomercials have made it easy to buy into myriad claims of easing muscle aches, alleviating high blood pressure, and even (in those pre-Viagra days) increasing sexual potency. The evidence says otherwise, because juice cannot be any better than the produce from which it's made. It can even be less nutritious because it lacks most of the fiber of fresh produce.
Still, you might like the taste of fresh juice or find juice more palatable than a plate of produce. Here's a primer on what to look for in choosing a citrus juicer, juice extractor, or an appliance that combines both functions. Whichever you buy, be prepared to buy lots of fresh produce--depending on your fruit or vegetables of choice. Some extractors get more out of produce than others, and the proportion of pulp to juice varies from fruit to fruit. And with extractors in particular, be prepared to clean pulp out of every nook and cranny after each use.

Jun 04, 2008
Due mainly to a slump in the construction industry, the unemployment rate for Hispanics in the U.S. rose to 6.5% in the first quarter of 2008, well above the 4.7% rate for all non-Hispanics. As recently as the end of 2006, the gap between those two rates had shrunk to an historic low of 0.5 percentage points--4.9% for Latinos compared with 4.4% for non-Latinos, on a seasonally adjusted basis.
The spike in Hispanic unemployment has hit immigrants especially hard. Their unemployment rate was 7.5% in the first quarter of this year, marking the first time since 2003 that a higher percentage of foreign-born Latinos was unemployed than native-born Latinos. Some 52.5% of working age Latinos (ages 16 and older) are immigrants. Latinos make up 14.2% of the U.S. labor force.
Despite the disproportionate impact that the economic slowdown has had on immigrant Latino workers, there are no signs that they are leaving the U.S. labor market. Their labor force participation rate--that is, the percentage of the immigrant working-age Latino population either employed or actively seeking employment--has remained steady. However, they now play a smaller role in the growth of the Hispanic workforce than in recent years.
The latest trends in the labor market represent a dramatic reversal for Latino workers. Hispanics lost nearly 250,000 jobs over the past year because of the recent slump in the construction sector. For several years, construction was the mainstay of job growth for Hispanic workers, especially those who are immigrants. Even as home building stumbled in 2006, Hispanics found nearly 300,000 new jobs in the construction industry from the first quarter of 2006 to the first quarter of 2007. The ongoing slump in construction over the past year has wiped out those gains, virtually in their entirety.
Mexican immigrants have suffered the effects of the construction downturn most keenly. Latino workers who exited construction in 2007 included about 221,000 immigrants. Some 152,000 of those workers had migrated from Mexico. Latino immigrants who entered the U.S. in 2000 or later (from any country) lost 69,000 jobs in construction. For each of these groups of immigrants the jobs lost in construction accounted for the majority of losses from the first quarters of 2007 to the first quarter of 2008.
Labor market outcomes for Hispanic women appear to be worse than for men during 2007. They left the labor force in greater proportion and experienced greater increases in unemployment than did Hispanic men. Some 130,000 more Latino women became unemployed in 2007, and their unemployment rate increased from 5.6% to 7.0%.
Weekly earnings for most groups of Hispanic workers also slipped backward in the past year. Again, Latino construction workers suffered most from the decline in wages. Their earnings tumbled in 2007 and they now earn less than they did two years ago in the first quarter of 2006.
These findings emerge from the Pew Hispanic Center's analysis of the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Census Bureau. Most of the data are from the Current Population Survey, a monthly Census Bureau survey of approximately 60,000 households. Data from three monthly surveys were combined to create larger sample sizes and to conduct the analysis on a quarterly basis.

KBACKUP is intended for handling of backups no matter whether they reside on disk or tape or even in files. As most other backup programs available today are either confusing the user with lots of long command line options, or user friendly but not powerful at all, the aim behind writing KBACKUP was to provide a user friendly yet powerful backup program. It is also intended to be kept compatible to existing and well proven archive formats, so you can restore your archives even if you should not have KBACKUP around anymore.
Simplebackup is a cross-platform backup program. It reads a configuration file, then it builds a compressed file for each of your backup directories or files on your backup list, and places the compressed files into another location. For example, this location can be a network mapped drive in Windows, an NFS mounted drive in Unix, another hard disk, an FTP server, an SFTP (Secure FTP) server, an HTTP (WebDAV) server, one or more email accounts, or a tape device (Unix only). This will duplicate your information, doing the so called "backup".
bdmn is client/server-oriented backup system. The daemon runs on the machine being backed up, and the client runs on the machine that stores the backup. It is very simple, but very fast. It only uses tar, gzip, uuencode, and Perl, so it is portable to many operating systems. It includes a very simple access control system for itself.
The BRU Backup and Restore Utility features data-verified backups, scalability, configurability, and ease of use for Linux and Unix. Versions are available for Linux, FreeBSD, and most UNIX variants. It works via an X11 interface, command line interactive, or through a scripted, scheduled (CRON) mechanism.

La Flor Dominicana Litto Gomez Diez Cigars
La Flor Dominicana Litto Gomez Diez
The La Flor Dominicana Litto Gomez Diez is the first cigar produced by La Flor Dominicana that uses only tobacco grown on it's own farm. Blending this cigar was a multi-year process that it seems many are happy with the results of. Growing the wrapper, binder, and filler on their own farms make this one of only a few Dominican puros available on the market today.
All told this is a great stick from one of the powerhouses in the Dominican cigar market. Pick up a few singles and try them. Who knows, you might end up with a box. Don't forget to also try the La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero series. The DL-700 and the Chisel are favorites here at Cigar Place.

Court Theatre Presents THREE TALL WOMEN, Closes 2/13
Court Theatre continues its 56th season with Edward Albee's Three Tall Women, directed by Artistic Director Charles Newell. The production will close February 13, 2011 at Court Theatre, 5535 S. Ellis Avenue.
Three Tall Women was written shortly after the death of Edward Albee's adoptive mother, and it remains his most personal play. Wickedly funny, and told with uncompromising truth, the play takes a long, hard look at the arc of one human life from the perspectives of three different generations-one woman in youth, one woman in middle age, and one woman lying on her death bed. As the elder woman reflects on her life-including the estrangement of her son, widely interpreted to represent Albee himself-she develops clarity of mind that transcends her debilitated body. Three Tall Women will be directed by Artistic Director Charles Newell, whose 2004 production of Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? was named "the finest production... [of the play] I've seen to date" by Terry Teachout of The Wall Street Journal.
"Three Tall Women is the play that brought Edward Albee back to the attention of the American theatre. It's a striking text. Anyone who's ever witnessed a parent or grandparent at the end of their life-that is to say, most of us-will recognize the complex mingling of pain, regret, hope, and unexpected humor of that experience," says Charlie Newell. "I'm thrilled to be returning to the world of Edward Albee, after the wonderful experience of directing Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? in 2004."
Edward Albee's Three Tall Women features Mary Beth Fisher (Woman B), Lois Markle (Woman A), Maura Kidwell (Woman C) and Joel Gross (The Boy).
The creative team for Three Tall Women features Leigh Breslau (scenic design), Marc Stubblefield (lighting design), Anna Kuzmanic (costume design), Megan Geigner (production dramaturg). The Stage Manager is William Collins. Court Theatre's Resident Dramaturg is Drew Dir.
Edward Albee (Playwright) was born on March 12, 1928 and began writing plays 30 years later. His plays include The Zoo Story (1958), The American Dream (1960), Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1961-62, Tony Award), Tiny Alice (1964), A Delicate Balance (1966, Pulitzer Prize; 1996, Tony Award), All Over (1971), Seascape (1974, Pulitzer Prize), The Lady From Dubuque (1977-78), The Man Who Had Three Arms (1981), Finding the Sun (1982), Marriage Play (1986-87), Three Tall Women (1991, Pulitzer Prize), Fragments (1993), The Play About the Baby (1997), The Goat Or, Who is Sylvia? (2000, 2002 Tony Award), and Occupant (2001). He is a member of the Dramatists Guild Council, and President of The Edward F. Albee Foundation. Mr. Albee was awarded the Gold Medal in Drama from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters in 1980, and in 1996 received the Kennedy Center Honors and the National Medal of Arts.
Mary Beth Fisher (Woman B) has appeared at Court Theatre in The Year of Magical Thinking (Jeff Award Solo Performance), The Wild Duck, What the Butler Saw, The Glass Menagerie, Arcadia, Travesties, and The Importance of Being Ernest. Her Chicago credits include The Seagull, Rock n' Roll, Frank's Home, The Clean House, Dinner With Friends, Heartbreak House, The Guys, The Rose Tattoo, Boy Gets Girl, Spinning into Butter, Design for Living, Light Up the Sky, The Night of the Iguana, and Marvin's Room (Goodman Theatre); Dead Man's Cell Phone, The Dresser, and The Memory of Water (Steppenwolf Theatre Company); The Taming of the Shrew (Chicago Shakespeare Theater); The Laramie Project: Epilogue, The Little Dog Laughed, and Theatre District (About Face Theatre); The Marriage of Figaro (Remy Bumppo Theatre Company). Her NY credits include: Frank's Home (Playwrights Horizons); Boy Gets Girl (Drama League Honoree, Drama Desk and Lucille Lortel nominations), The Radical Mystique, and By The Sea...(Manhattan Theatre Club); The Night of the Iguana (Roundabout Theatre Company); and Extremities (Westside Arts Theatre). Ms. Fisher has also worked in regional theatres throughout the country. Her TV/film credits include: Ride Along, State of Romance, Without a Trace, Numb3rs, Prison Break, NYPD Blue, Profiler, Early Edition, Turks, Formosa Betrayed, Dragonfly, and Trauma. She received the 2010 Chicago's Leading Lady Award from the Sarah Siddons Society and was named "Best Actress" in Chicago Magazine's "Best of Chicago" issue (Aug/2010). Ms. Fisher is an Inaugural Lunt-Fontanne Fellow.
Joel Gross (The Boy) makes his Court Theatre debut with Three Tall Women. He just closed To Master the Art at TimeLine Theatre, where he also played Dakin in the Jeff Award-winning (Ensemble/Mid-Size Production) The History Boys. Joel has also worked with Lookingglass Theatre Company, Collaboraction, Strawdog Theatre Company, Dog & Pony Theatre Company, and The House Theatre of Chicago. Joel is a proud member of Gray Talent, and teaches teen acting workshops at Act One Studios and the Chicago Waldorf School.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore…
Almost a year ago I wrote this fairly impassioned piece regarding the state of hardcore music in this country, and internationally. It did the rounds and was generally met with murmurs of agreement. We're now one year on and I'm currently living in the heart of the Fortitude Valley. In my limited time here I have seen the best and worst it has had to offer. I've woken up with used syringes and broken glass on my balcony, and I've experience the homelessness problem afflicting the town and the constant dangers of the 3am lockout at play. With all that said I've never really felt all that threatened. Then last night happened.
So I went for a nice dinner with my mother out in the 'burbs (I had lamb shanks in a rich jus and mash, fucking delicious by the way) and came back to catch the end of a small gig at the Jubilee hotel. All pretty standard so far for an evening in the life of Thomas. The gig finishes and I accompany a friend on her adventure for a late night slice we're forced to walk through the valley metro, out the front and onto the main drag. Already it is fairly obvious that there is something rotten in the state of Denmark, so to speak. Then I remember, "Ah… Amity Affliction".
I'm fairly used to Police presence in The Valley but I've never seen them so prolific before. A few Paddy-wagons line the street and a few more out the front of the normally crowded Police Beat. The fuzz mill around as if in wait, "an overreaction surely" I think.
More an annoyance at this point than anything else, we're swamped by neck tattoo'd thugs leering and flexing to impress the complete lack of attractive women around. We narrowly dodge the start of a small brawl between a pack of bogans and Straight edgers and continue on our way. We pick up some pizza and walk back down Brunswick street to turn into Alfred. Its about 11:20 (if I recall) and clearly the flood gates have opened. The first thing I notice walking past the front of the Valley metro again is a man angry but subdued, an open wound on his head bleeding profusely surrounded by a bevy of Brisbane's finest.
Walking further down the street and past The Globe it becomes more apparent the extent of the ruckus. Corner after corner, be-fringed miscreants loiter, some being questioned by police, other sitting calmly with their hands zip-tied behind their back. Arrogant shouting punctuates the disquiet like artillery fire. Not drunk, happy shouting either. This is the aggressive and discomforting shout of a sober man not getting laid tonight.
Finally as we reach my turn off, I feel a small splash underfoot only to realize I've just trodden in the pool of blood collecting near the gutter. Looking around a police officer cringes at me and beckons us to leave. I get home, lock the door and thank all that is holy that I don't have to go out there again tonight.
So that is a relatively unbiased recollection of my evening. Now, onto my opinion.
Get the fuck out of my town you cock nosed, arrogant little pricks. You want to fuck each other up? Go to your unfortunate venue and do it. Don't you dare pollute my streets with your aggressive, homoerotic displays of masculinity because I will not put up with it. I don't care that you came all the way from Toowoomba for this, you are a piece of shit for contributing to the already dangerous conditions of the Valley at night. Anyone that knows me, know that I can be quite distrusting of the police, but they're a necessary evil and you putting even further stress on their under budgeted department hurts them, it hurts you and me and guess what else? It hurts local music.
You're all big fucking proponents of that I'm told. Save the local scene you say? Go home and jerk off to isanyoneup.com because you're a hindrance and a nuisance. Leaving your venue to wet your whistle elsewhere? Hurry up and do it, Snitch is just a few hundred meters away and just aching to separate you from your centrelink money so you can drink and bitch about how bad everyone else there is in the sack. To make this town more dangerous en masse by your presence alone? This is worthy of a solid kick to the nuts and/or the fleshy patch where your sack used to be before that unfortunate windmilling incident.
That's all I have to say on the matter.
