Yogi Ferrell is ready to begin the next phase of his life, as a professional. After four seasons in Bloomington, the Park Tudor and Indiana University graduate will head to Brooklyn to prepare for training camp near the end of August, one month before camp opens.
Ferrell went through 16 pre-draft workouts but did not get drafted, although teams were interested in drafting and stashing him overseas. Instead, the 6-foot point guard elected to go the route of free agency.
Ultimately, he signed a one-year non-guaranteed deal with the Brooklyn Nets with $100,000 guaranteed, per sources.
It's a good deal, and now he'll work to prove worthy of a roster spot on a team that badly needs a spark to help propel the franchise up from the bottom of the standings.
Yogi joined me in studio for an extensive conversation on hoops, his career at IU, looking ahead to the NBA, and more.
[Yogi Ferrell has grown up and is leaving a lasting legacy at Indiana]

The other day Kat's friend Connie was over and we were enjoying an afternoon of convivial relaxation. When it was time for tea, she did the most surprising thing! Kat had the water all ready and asked Connie to choose the teabag she'd like to drink. Connie took a long look through Kat's diverse selection, picked up two teabags and put in them her cup. When Kat questioned her use of two, Connie replied that she wanted to mix flavors to make her own new tea. I thought this was brilliant! It's a convenient way to blend teas based on your mood. She placed a lemon tea in her cup and then added a black teabag. As soon as I noticed, my tea-centric mind started racing to create other combinations.
If you'd like something sweet and fruity with a bit of earthiness to round it out, you should try Kat's new favorite tea from Dorset Tea and add in an English Breakfast blend. She just cannot get enough of the Strawberry and Cream tea. One of her closest friends brought this tea back for her after a trip to the UK. Kat was wowed by the tart strawberry flavor with notes of luscious cream. She imagines sitting in a quaint tea room enjoying moist scones with this lovely tea. Adding an English Breakfast teabag makes the whole blend smooth and a little bit earthy. A perfect snapshot of a quiet morning at a tea salon.
For days when you want to embellish your green tea, try adding a bag of raspberry tea. Kat's new favorite is to add raspberry to her green tea. The vegetal green tea is enhanced with the sweet juicy berry flavor. It also makes a wonderful iced tea. She served large pitchers of iced raspberry green tea to her friends all summer long. She'll sometimes make a batch in the winter, just to pretend that it's sunny and warm outside. Don't forget a squeeze of lemon!
Or if you're looking for a minty tea but want a kick of caffeine , try adding a mint teabag to your black tea. It'll give it a minty tingle and wake you right up. Kat loves a good peppermint tea, but sometimes in the early afternoon she'll need an extra bit of help to get through the day. Adding it to a black teabag like an Assam or Ceylon gets the job done.
In the evenings Kat sometimes adds a bag of ginger tea in with her chamomile. She completes the mug with a spoonful of honey. This is a zingy and sweet way to relax before bedtime. She'll sometimes substitute a bag of lemon tea for the ginger depending on her mood. There are endless aromatic herbal tea combinations you can choose from.
Kat now uses this idea everywhere she goes, especially in the office. Her office has many different varieties of tea, and sometimes she gets creative with her choices. It's a fun way to take a break from the day and wake up your palate. A few of her co-workers have noticed her technique, and started using it as well. What do you think, will you give the extra bag a try?

The body and the mind are the two hands
that weave the self between them, interplay
a dialogue that may change day to day
creates consistency. Self understands
what neither flesh nor mind can apprehend
yet is a fiction and a referee
yet needs to be reined in. So fluently
its guesses become fantasies and end
in things we cannot know, that are not there
-God, Hell and Heaven - all ways to deny
the simple tasks life gives us. Mortify
the flesh, confuse the mind. Hope and despair.
The self's a servant. Use it, never let
it rule, or you will die full of regret.

Guerrilla Gardening and Urban Gardening – Creating Spaces of Urban Alterity
by Wiekbe Hahn
Mini-Manifesto for Engaged Ecology:
1. We have the right to fresh air, clean water and healthy soil.
2. A government that cannot provide them loses legitimacy.
3. The earth is in a crisis.
4. Cities are not the problem, they're the solution.
5. Cities are alive and should be treated that way.
6. Biodiversity is the best measure of a healthy place.
7. Humans have evolved to live in harmony with nature.
8. The public creates the best public spaces.
9. People will care for a place they plant themselves.
10. Engaged ecology creates a community.[1]
Guerrilla gardening is for everyone and can be practiced in any space, regardless of size, location or budget. Just get yourself a spade and some seeds and find a free suitable space either private or public, inside or outside; that is what many guidebooks are telling. In the practice, guerrilla gardening is riding a popular wave and is spreading around the world. It can be understood as the contemporary adaption of an ancient concept – conquering space for plants in the cities and retrieving the cultivation of food in residential areas.
The first use of guerrilla gardening as a term leads us back to New York in 1973. At that time, the city could count only five community gardens in all five boroughs, since all the money was spent on constructing residential complexes and commercial and industrial buildings only.[2]
Many residents complained about the neglect of their neighborhood and the accumulation of waste, but the city itself never intervened. Finally, artist Liz Christy, who lived in the city's Lower East Side, assembled her friends and neighbors to clean out the district. Naming themselves the 'Green Guerrillas' they planted food crops, flowers and trees within the neighborhood and threw 'seed bombs' in empty sites. Furthermore, they took back an abandoned space on the corner of Bowery and Houston by removing the rubbish and revitalizing the soil, planting flowers, trees and edibles, while offering gardening workshops. Liz Christy negotiated with the city's Housing and Preservation Department a way to make their newly-created garden an official community garden. In the end, the administration approved the site for rental as the 'Bowery Houston Farm and Garden' for one Dollar a month (In 1986 the Garden was dedicated as the Liz Christy's Bowery-Houston Garden, in memory of its founder). Surrounding neighborhoods got inspired and participated in the initiative.[3]
Since then, guerrilla gardening was also considered and used as a tool to show dissatisfaction and disagreement in the public sphere by secretly seeing plants and food crops on land, which does not belong legally to the gardener. One attempt was staged by 'Reclaim the Streets', a London based group behind the 'mass guerilla gardening action', at Parliaments Square on May Day 2000. They were claiming for a global and local social-ecological revolution.[4] The protest was partly filmed and can be watched on YouTube:
Meanwhile, guerrilla gardening has evolved into urban gardening or urban agriculture and can be considered as a movement by activists, who are arguing for a sustainable urban environment, biological diversity, more community spaces, a sustainable lifestyle as well as against the scarcity of public space. In order to demand a change here, they connect their claim with the benefits of a harvest and the beautification of neglected public spaces.
The movement can be recognized worldwide and many people practice urban gardening in their everyday life in order to live their vision and statement. Therefore, several (guide-)books on urban and guerrilla gardening practices have been published: 'The Urban Homestead: Your Guide to Self-Sufficient Living in the Heart of the City' by Kelly Coyne and Erik Knutzen, 'On Guerrilla Gardening: A Handbook for Gardening without Boundaries' by Richard Reynold, 'Guerrilla Gardening: A Manualfesto' by David Tracey as well as George McKay's 'Radical Gardening: Politics, Idealism and Rebellion in the Garden'.
Dr Lynn Turner is a guerilla gardener in South-London. She also publishes her various projects on her blog 'La Guérillère'. In an interview from the 19th of March, 2014 she is anwering varios questions about her practice, her inspiration, goals, problems and future ideas.
Others come together in societies, unions and organizations in order to form community spaces. Sometimes it starts illegally as well, but at a certain point it often becomes legalized. Here, many examples can be given:
Park and Plant at Elephant and Castle, London, United Kingdom.
'Park and Plant at Elephant and Castle in London' is a temporary space on a development site. It is a relaxing and learning environment created by and for the community organizing events, informal gardening sessions, container gardening for one's own benefit, workshops and tours.
Prinzessinnengarten, Berlín © 2010 Monocle from Jacobo Zanella on Vimeo.
'Prinzessinengärten' in Berlin was founded 2009 as a pilot project in Berlin, Kreuzberg at Moritzplatz, a former wasteland. As a non-profit organization, friends, activists and neighbors rent the place yearly and have therefore created a mobile garden based on transportable organic vegetable plots. It is understood as an urban workshop for numerous initiatives and projects in the fields of urban agriculture, recycling, participation, composting, seasonality, cultural education, urban resilience and sustainable urban development.
Volunteer-run community garden in the Manguinhos favela, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, organized by GMF.
Green My Favela (GMF) was founded by Lea Rekow, previous Executive Director of the Center for Contemporary Arts, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. GMF is an environmental remediation project primarily located in the Rocinha favela (informal settlement or slum community) of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The organization works in close collaborations with residents, NGOs, schools and social innovators in order to reclaim degraded land, to create more productive green spaces inside Rocinha and to promote responsibility and sustainable living. This concept inspired other surrounding favlas; in the Vidigal slum in Rio de Janeiro for instance residents have created a park on their own initiative. They grew vegetables and flowers in plastic bottles and containers and built walls and garden furniture with recycled objects.
Urban gardens are based on the principle of anti-globalization; the local is paramount. They are spaces of urban alterity, a creative act to enact alternative urban imaginaries. In the sense of Michel Foucault they can even be considered in a heterotopic point of view. Different from utopias, heterotopias are real places or counter-sites, capable of juxtaposing several spaces in a single real place. They are a place for individuals, whose behavior and ideas do not (yet) correspond with society's norms.[6]

HCM CITY (VNS) — State-owned agribusinesses are going down the equitisation path, with several already completing their initial public offerings or close to doing so.
Vietnam National Tea Corporation (Vinatea) will make an IPO of almost 11.8 million shares today at the Hanoi Stock Exchange at a reference price of VND10,000 (US$0.44).
Nine parties, including an institutional investor, have registered to buy slightly more than the total number of shares on offer, according to HSX.
Another 1.6 million shares have been earmarked for employees and nearly 23.6 million will be sold to strategic shareholders.
After the equitisation, the company's chartered capital will be worth VND370 billion ($16.3 billion).
Earlier this month the Vietnam National Vegetable, Fruit and Agricultural Product Corporation (Vegetexco) sold 27.67 million shares to the public, raising more than VND278 billion.
Vegetexco will sell 60 per cent to strategic investors.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) has so far turned 10 of its corporations into joint stock companies.
Valuation of the Vietnam Forest Corporation and Vietnam General Corporation of Agricultural Materials is underway, and their equitisation plans are expected to get approval next quarter.
The remaining three corporations earmarked for equitisation by the ministry will complete the process next year.
According to Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Ha Cong Tuan, equitisation of farming and forestry businesses face various difficulties, and any solution that does not safeguard the interests of land-owning households, the Government and the businesses would result in complaints and even law suits.
Another obstacle was that the agricultural sector did not make high profits, he said.
But one encouraging sign was that large corporations like Vinamilk, TH Milk and Vingroup were showing interest in the sector, he said.
Businesses want to acquire entire companies that are equitised with one condition – the companies should possess large areas of land for them to make major investments and deploy new technologies.
Thai Huong, chairwoman of dairy firm TH Corporation, said there were large areas of idle farmlands but they were fractured into tiny lots, and acquiring them one by one would take time and involve tortuous procedures, which put potential investors off.
MARD has established a working group to attract investment in the agricultural sector, with the participation of tens of major companies.
One of the group's targets is to work with local authorities on large land funds on which investors could develop large projects, and this is expected to help speed up equitisation of companies in the farm sector. — VNS

Who is God?
POST BY RStyles
Wednesday, March 22, 2017 - 16:04
Who or what is God is a question that is perhaps implicitly as old as humanity itself, and is in one sense as unanswerable as the question 'what is the real meaning of infinity?' We are dealing with subjects that are objectively beyond human comprehension. However well we may be able to argue with another, arguments to prove the existence of God will not by themselves ever convince anybody sufficiently to seek God, because arguments are ultimately merely competitions. The only victory for God is a victory of love.
Our love for others, in all the forms of help, compassion, and forgiveness we can manage, create the only convincing argument for others to seek the God who so loves us that we are able by his grace to respond to them in these ways.
'How can we know God?' is however a different question, but its various answers have inevitably to be subjective and personal, depending on our own interpretations of what we ourselves have been able to experience in our lives even if such subjective answers are shared among whole human cultures. The biblical story of the Tower of Babel can be seen as a kind of parable of the human impossibility of reaching God, as opposed to the subjective and personal experience of God being able to reach us, sometimes alone, sometimes through others.
Moses was said to have stood fearfully before the burning bush and asked, "Who are you? Who shall I say you are?" The answer we are told he was given was 'I am who I am,' an answer whose Hebrew meaning to us is so astonishingly profound in the form in which it has been passed down to us, that anthropologists do not believe a primitive tribal culture could possibly have comprehended or meant it in the way the original Hebrew appears to mean. Some have said that it was just a name, and that we should read no more into it than that. But it is significant that Hebrew names had deliberate meanings, and that God goes on to command Moses simply to tell his people that 'I am' sent him to them. Moreover this name was regarded as particularly holy in itself and their Jewish descendants have traditionally regarded this name of God as too holy to be spoken.
This is of course not a definition, because the concept of God is self evidently beyond our conceptual definition, but it may be as near to a definition as we can reasonably get. Thomas Aquinas is said to have experienced a mystical revelation of his own helpless inadequacy in his theologically objective attempt to write of the 'mystery' of God ('mystery' meaning something that cannot be comprehended). The biblical 'cloud' which accompanies the presence of God on Mt Sinai and in the transfiguration of Christ are literal biblical manifestations of the 'cloud of unknowing' that envelops what is seen as the 'mystery' of God.
We cannot ourselves see God. Our human limitations are like the limitations of someone who may see the colour blue everywhere, and therefore is unable to conceive of the colour blue even though he sees it everywhere around him. We can only enable God to find us, and we have to be able to recognise 'his footprints' in the intelligibility and sheer beauty and wonder of his creation and 'hear his voice' in the totality of our human experience.
This is only possible if first we open ourselves to this kind of approach. But we live in a world of constant rush and trivial anxiety. How are we to hear the voice of God in the profusion of communication that fills our minds and hearts? Obviously we need to find the time and space to separate ourselves to devote the time to learn how to listen and reflect on what God is saying to us. It is surely the role of the Church to provide us with the means to do this.
But this may be where the Prologue about the 'Word of God' in St John's Gospel may be of particular help. It tells the story of various ways and times in which God has gradually revealed himself to his people's understanding through history, culminating in the coming of Christ as God to his people. We can only see God in the ways he chooses to reveal himself to us.
The John wrote in Greek, the normal lingua franca of the Roman Empire. In Greek the 'Word' of God was translated as 'Logos' from which we derive 'logic' and logical', because unlike modern languages in which 'the word' is only the utterance of something, 'the Logos' in biblical Greek also means 'the Reason' and 'the Meaning,' and therefore includes the biblical concept of 'wisdom'. This is of special importance in understanding how we are to hear 'the word of God' both individually and collectively, because as well as listening to the Gospel we are to understand its meaning for ourselves in the Person of Christ.
John's Prologue goes on to describe Christ as 'the Word made flesh' and the true light of the world that 'enlightens everyone coming into the world.' This implies that the encounter with Christ as the Word of God offers meaning and purpose to our human lives and is open to anyone and everyone, irrespective of origin, culture, or education.
What are we to say to those whose religious prejudices have been formed in cultural surroundings that are not only different but antithetical and even hostile to Christian concepts of God? How does 'the true light that enlightens everyone coming into the world' speak to them? We first ought to consider how we ourselves may have been prejudiced by our favoured translations, so anxious to enable the Gospels to 'speak to us' in a more contemporary way.
This should surely be resisted wherever translations plainly change the original spiritual meaning of the text. A fairly obvious example may be found in recent translations of the beatitudes, which were correctly translated in the past as 'Blessed are the poor…" etc. To be 'blessed' means to receive the favour of God in the Gospel's context – a meaning of particular significance for the poor in our contemporary world. To be 'happy' plainly means nothing of the sort. This is unfortunate English that trivialises the original meaning in order to try to accommodate modern secular readership, but in so doing seriously misleads. Many other examples of missing the real point may be found in modern translations. The Gospels vitally need to be treated as the Word of God.
Our liturgical worship is also a form of language in itself, and Catholic worship is itself provides a vital sacramental pedagogy, expressed in a ritual language to enable and inspire the genuinely lively participation of us all. But this needs to be language and ritual which have poetry, beauty and, above all, real meaning, not only for the millions of different people of different cultures throughout the world, but also for the stranger who has to be welcomed in our midst.
Its practices, as well as setting patterns for our prayer, are intended to convey the meaning of our faith. We all, especially clergy, need to be thoroughly familiar with the whole spiritual significance that originally inspired and enabled our traditional liturgies to develop into the forms they now take.
Our liturgies need to be able to satisfy the real spiritual hunger that we know exists among a vast variety of people in every country in the world – especially the young. But they must translate and truly communicate the full Word of God.

Redesign, WordPress Powered
4th version of my site is proudly powered by a WordPress backend. For now I still need to make major updates across the board but I felt that I should start to slowly let things go live because if I wait any longer I may never get this up and running.
For those interested:
Wordpress powered
Modded Grid Focus theme
Aside from the background and thumbnails all imagery are transparent png's, and yes they work in IE 6.
It's a work in progress and I will definately need some time to track down all of my previous work samples.
Comments (6)
Very nice site and portfolio. Congratulations!
How did you get the transparent background png's to work in ie6?
I allways get in trouble with transparent png's.
@Anselmo – ANSELMO we did this very same effect using a PNG fix javascript . If you look all of the transparency imgs have a class called fix on them using css and javascript check it out, it worked out very well on this site as well as the corporate one for my company. Best of luck

Ok so the book has pretty much been discussed, at least the kartik part, what about the movies? does anyone know anything about the cast or if they've started filming? I'm really hoping the choose the right guy for Kartik, cause it could totally ruin the movies if he's not amazingly hot and indian.

The confederate flag has been banned from a school district in Texas.
The school board members in Hays County voted 5-2 today to ban the confederate flag from school grounds. According to ABC News, the bars and stars will no longer be allowed on district property or district-sponsored events.
The Hays school district is currently comprised of 68% minority students.
According to UPI, Hays High School in San Marcos, Texas, used the confederate flag on team uniforms up until 2000. The flag was removed from uniforms but students were still allowed to display the flag at sporting events. In addition to banning the confederate flag, the school board has also decided to ban any imagery that is deemed "racially hostile, offensive or intolerant."
Outgoing Superintendent Jeremy Lyon called for the ban after two students vandalized a black teacher's classroom earlier this year. The student's wrote racial slurs in the classroom and urinated on the door.
Lyon said:
"I have the utmost respect for history, but we need to make sure that we are creating school districts that are welcoming and inviting to all students."
The school board voted earlier this year to keep Dixie as the school fight song. Dixie, like the confederate flag, represents southern tradition but also recalls painful memories of slavery.
Country singer Trace Adkins recently stirred up a controversy over the confederate flag.
At the time, Adkins said:
"As a proud American I object to oppression of any kind. To me, the battle flag represents remembrance of my Southern lineage – I am a descendant of Confederate soldiers who followed that flag into battle. I advocate for the preservation of America's battlefields and honest conversation about our Country's history. To those who view the flag as a symbol of racism, that was not my message and I did not intend offense."
Do you think the school made the right decision to ban the confederate flag? Do you think other schools will do the same?

Some weeks you just have to improvise. Too many balls in the air. Mostly fun, but a sad one as well. We've lost a beloved friend from church who hosted our weekly Bible study at her home. Valerie never met a stranger; she was so graciously welcoming when I first met her at a retreat last October. On hospice care for the last few weeks, the weekly study has migrated to our home and the group is improvising how to do life without this inspiring friend.
And at the same time, life goes on. We remain engaged with all the activities and responsibilities that crowd our calendars. Yet one of my projects, our granddaughter's wedding quilt came to a screeching halt a couple of weeks ago. A complicated pattern that requires intense attention to a tome of written instructions, I reached a point where I wasn't sure I was doing it "right." I didn't want to continue sewing units together with the very real possibility that they might all have to be taken apart…all 72 of them! The clerk at the quilt shop who specialized in these kinds of patterns had been ill, was still ill, and wasn't going to be available for consultation for another week. Have I mentioned making this quilt is all about delayed gratification? Now things were delayed more than usual.
So in the interim, an idea from Pinterest inspired some improv digging through my stash. Enough of everything was available except a pattern…which I had to improvise…more or less successfully. The pattern reminded me of DNA strands which invited me to reflect on the pleasure of creativity being in my DNA. But during the process of piecing the quilt front, I made every rookie mistake there is to make in quilting. Let's just say my seam ripper and I were on a first name basis. Which got me to improvisationally reflect on Roman 7's "oh wretched (wo)man that I am, I don't do what I want to do, and do what I don't want to do…" Yup, that's in my DNA too.
But it was the back art for the quilt that brought me the most pleasure…and immediate gratification. I began a quilt backing that would hopefully use up as much of the remaining fabric as possible in a way that used bold colors, large negative spaces, in a graphic composition that was both balanced and irregular ….improvisational… qualities frequently found in contemporary modern quilts. My studio design wall didn't lend itself to laying out this composition, so our large, round oak dining table became an improv design space. Only small bits of yardage remain of the substantial original pile. While this scrappy quilt was a great stash buster, the immediate gratification of this two-day project was immensely pleasurable. And taught me that the pleasure of improv is also in my DNA. The things we learn about ourselves when we're, seemingly, looking the other way!
In the midst of delayed gratification, what have you turned to creatively for a wee bit of immediate gratification? What have you learned about yourself in the process? What were the improv pieces that were a part of that learning? How might what you learned about yourself influence your future?

Venerable John, disciple of Venerable Gregory of Decapolis
Saint John was born at the end of the eighth century. At a young age he became a disciple of Saint Gregory of Decapolis (November 20) and accepted monastic tonsure from him at a monastery in Thessalonica. Under the guidance of this experienced teacher, Saint John attained great spiritual perfection.
When the emperor Leo the Armenian (813-820) renewed the persecution against Orthodox Christians because they venerated the holy icons, Saint Gregory of Decapolis and Saint Joseph the Hymnographer (April 4) and his disciple Saint John went from Thessalonica to Constantinople, to raise opposition to the Iconoclast heresy.
In spite of persecution, Saints Gregory and John fearlessly defended Orthodoxy for several years, and preached the veneration of icons. After many hardships Saint Gregory died (around 820), and soon after, his faithful disciple John also departed to the Lord. Saint Joseph the Hymnographer transferred the relics of Saints Gregory and John and placed them in the church of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker.

Politics and governmentof the European Union
Pro-European is a subjective term applied to a person who supports the idea of European unification (mainly through the European Union (EU) and generally supports further 'deepening' of European integration, specifically in the context of political argument over the current and future status of the EU and its policies.
Many pro-Europeans believe that strength in unity is particularly important in today's multipolar world. They argue that a united and independent Europe has become increasingly necessary, while a politically divided one would bring disadvantages in many areas, including the economic, cultural, political, social, scientific, diplomatic and military arenas. A major argument is the relative small size and importance of the individual European countries with respect to the current and rising powers on the world scale. The individual countries, they argue, would then have limited geopolitical influence and would be unable to represent their own interests effectively. On the other hand, a united Europe, with a population and an economy larger than that of the United States, would make a viable partner, or competitor, whose opinion and interests would be taken into account on the world stage.
Pro-European arguments often refer to what they see as the benefits of the EU to its member states. They argue that citizens enjoy benefits such as the right to free movement across the EEA and social benefits such as employment rights, and consumers benefit from greater choice and guaranteed standards. Such 'cost / benefit' assessments are not generally the only arguments to motivate them, as they also feel they belong to a community of people with common bonds. Further European integration and co-operation is seen as a peacemaking force.
Although pro-Europeans may not be satisfied with every aspect of the present organisation and workings of the EU institutions, they generally argue that the solution to any remaining problems lies not in destroying what has been built, but in pushing for improvements in terms of unity, transparency and democracy.
Some people have argued that it is too simplistic to conflate the terms 'Europe' and 'EU'. It is argued that the term 'pro-European' should refer to someone who is in favour of European co-operation and cultural interchange in the wider geographical sense, as many eurosceptics are, while 'pro-EU' should be reserved for those who specifically support the broad political agenda involving a "deepening" of the EU. Both 'pro-EU' and 'pro-European' are nevertheless widely used interchangeably in informal speech to refer to someone who is positive about the European Union.
According to the latest Eurobarometers, there is a very positive attitude to EU-membership for example in Belgium, Spain and Denmark, although the latter has had a reputation for being "eurosceptic", opinions have changed there.

Merlot is one of the most planted premium grape varieties in the world, best known for being a component in Bordeaux blends. The Merlot grape is thought to be the result of a natural cross between Cabernet Franc and another unidentified grape, making it a sibling (or step-sibling) to Cabernet Sauvignon.
Regularly vinified together, Merlot has several advantages over Cabernet Sauvignon as it ripens earlier and more quickly, as well as providing slightly higher yields. The finished wine that Merlot produces is softer and rounder with gentle tannins that provides a contrast to the heavier more structured Cabernet Sauvignon. These characteristics have seen the grape being widely planted in both Old and New World countries.
Merlot is in fact the third most planted red variety in Australia behind Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, with 10 537 hectares under vine. Despite this popularity Merlot is yet to really find a definitive regional home in Australia, with most of the fruit being used to soften Cabernet Sauvignon. When used in a varietal wine the results have tended to produce soft and fruity wines designed to be drunk young.
The first Merlot vineyard was planted in the mid 70's at Balgownie Estate on clay soils with alluvial gravel at Bendigo. As the vines matured the potential for Merlot grown in Bendigo became apparent and led to further plantings in 1997. The objective at Balgownie has always been not to make a Merlot in the typical soft, fruity, easy drinking style, but to make a bigger, richer, age worthy style that would demonstrate the capabilty of the variety and the potential of the vineyard site.
To produce our Estate Merlot it is crucial that all the elements come together in the vineyard. This is such a unique wine that it can only be produced in an outstanding vintage where the levels of sunlight, warmth and rainfall all conspire to produce flawless grapes. The yields in the vineyards are kept very low, around one tonne to the acre, to build flavour, complexity and intensity in the fruit. To retain these qualities, the fruit is hand picked before being transported immediately to the winery.
Once in the winery the fruit is destemmed and gently crushed to open fermenters where it slowly fermented over 21 days. During the fermentation process, traditional hand plunging techniques were used to maximise extraction from the skins. The finished wine was aged in a combination of new and old French barriques for 14 months before being bottled.
The new release of the 2015 Estate Merlot is faithful to our objective and is a rich and opulent wine with layers of complex flavours supporting an appealing and savoury palate with fine tannins. This a wine to enjoy with a good meal and good friends or it will comfortably cellar for 6 to 8 years.
Cellar Door Price $45 per bottle
Platinum Wine Club Members $33.75 per bottle
Wine Club Members $38.25 (as part of a dozen bottles)

CMTA Releases 2018 Manufacturing Vote Record for California Legislature
46 legislative Champions -- 38 percent of Legislature -- committed to state's manufacturing competitiveness
Oct. 30, 2018 Sacramento, CA -- The California Manufacturers & Technology Association (CMTA) released its 2018 Champions of Manufacturing Vote Record today for the state's 120 legislators. It identifies action taken this year on the sector's most important Assembly and Senate floor votes, mainly on CMTA's MFG Maker and Breaker bills.
You can download the 2018 Manufacturing Vote Record here, identifying CMTA's 46 Champion legislators, including Democrats and Republicans, who supported California manufacturers at least 70 percent of the time.
"Manufacturers are making long-term decisions about where to make investments, expand operations and create new jobs. California laws and regulations can be a big factor in those decisions," said CMTA President Dorothy Rothrock. "California has the opportunity to remain the world's most advanced and energy-efficient manufacturing economy but we need a renewed focus on smart policies to boost our share of US manufacturing investments. We appreciate legislators who understand the impact of policies on manufacturing and vote to protect this crucial economic sector in the state," she added."
CMTA notes that there were many important manufacturing votes, on the floor and in policy committees, not included in this analysis. The votes used in the record reflect the first time legislators voted on the substantive policy represented in a bill after having been informed of CMTA's position on the policy and its positive or negative impact on manufacturers and technology companies.

We are back again with another shopping dilemma: would you rather invest in a splurge-worthy item or would you be happier with its reasonably-priced counterpart? We found two absolutely gorgeous between-the-finger rings featuring a summery floral motif. The two pieces share a similar wow factor—but one has an 18K solid white gold setting while the other is white gold plated. Both feature beautiful flower-cut stones—but one is comprised of 44 diamonds while the other is cubic zirconium. The question is: would you pay an extra $10,000 for a little extra shine? Or, would you stick to the under $25 find? Check out these high/low options and tell us which one you prefer.
The Splurge: Between-the-finger diamond flower ring (3.90 DWT) with an 18 karat white gold setting. $10,450.
The Steal: Between-the-finger cubic zirconium flower and butterfly ring in a white gold plated setting. $24.
Which one would you wear—or is the answer obvious? Share your opinion in the comments below!

CONSIDERING his contribution to the British music scene over the years, Nick Lowe is wonderfully self-deprecating.
Next weekend he comes to Manchester with his Quality Rock and Roll Review featuring the American band Los Straightjackets.
"I haven't done a British tour for 15 years or so," he said. "So I really do not know what is going to happen or if anyone is going to show up. It is my own fault as I have neglected playing here so I really don't know if people think that I've dropped off the perch or what have you - we'll have to see."
Now 70, Nick was at the forefront of the new wave scene being one of the key performers with the Stiff record label. He produced the likes of Elvis Costello and Graham Parker and has written many songs including I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass, Cruel to Be Kind and I Knew the Bride (When She Used to Rock 'n' Roll), a major hit for Rockpile.
For his new tour he has teamed up with the men of mystery Los Straightjackets - a band who all wear Mexican wrestling masks.
"They are so worth seeing in their own right," said Nick. "I'm a pretty lucky fellow to get hooked up with them."
Following the release of his last album, the Christmas themed Quality Street in 2013, Nick was rocked by the sudden death of two of his closest musical collaborators, drummer Bobby Irwin and producer Neil Brockbank.
"That rather took the wind out of my sails and I thought that was it for making records," he said. "I thought that side of it was over for me. But when I teamed up with the Straightjackets it seemed to make sense as a small independent businessman to demonstrate that the shop is open and to have something on the merch table."
He released the EP Tokyo Bay last year and for the current tour has produced a second EP, Love Starvation.
"I'm not deluded enough to think these records could have any really serious success but they will certainly make a fine souvenir of the evening," he laughed.
Ask Nick how he sees himself and he is very definite in his response.
"I think of myself as a songwriter for hire. I'm a hack really," he said. "But it's a bit like having a craft that's dying out like dry stone walling or thatching a roof.
"It's the craft of songwriting that interests me, I'm definitely more of a craftsman than an artist."
As someone who has spent much of his life writing songs, Nick is the ideal person to shed some light on to what most of us see as a dark art. Or maybe he won't....
"The older I get the more mysterious it becomes," he said. "When it comes to ideas for a song, you don't know how to turn it on or indeed how to turn it off.
"Some of my pals who are songwriters find they get better results if they work at it. They go to work every day and lock themselves in a room.
"Sometimes I go to Nashville on writing trips and you will meet someone in the morning who you have never met before and work business hours and write a song together. It's a curt handshake and then you are thrown together trying to make this thing work.
"I do enjoy the Nashville trips but working that way in general doesn't work for me. I have to wander around until I get an idea.
"I can remember when I was younger I used to panic like mad - I was under a lot of pressure in those days - and would grab the first idea that came into my mind. You'd force it through to make a song but it wasn't great. You just have to relax and let it come – at least that's how I do it."
For his current tour with Los Straightjackets Nick will be performing some of his newer songs but he admits he's quite prepared for them to take a life of their own when they hit the stage.
"It's funny how a song changes," he said. "You try and cover all bases when you make the original recording but after you've played it live for a while it's amazing how subtlely it changes.
"Songs will get a life of their own or they just don't want to work. Occasionally you get one that's not got enough to it.
"The good ones have a little bit of grit in there; something to make a pearl. Sometimes they seem like they are pretty good but fundamentally they are flim flam, You can't really second guess it."
Nick Lowe and Los Straightjackets, RNCM Manchester, Sunday, June 9. Details from 0161 907 5200 or www.rncm.ac.uk

Beauty Protein
Protein is the foundation of beauty.
Hair, skin and nails are mostly protein. These proteins are known as keratin, collagen and elastin and they play an important role in keeping wrinkles at bay, giving skin elasticity and strengthening hair.
Achieving glossy hair, strong nails and glowing skin is typically the result of having quality protein in the diet. Protein is key to beauty, however, not all proteins are created equally.
Consuming amino acids are of great importance for the health of our largest organ, our skin. Two in particular, which our Beauty Protein is rich in, directly affect the natural production of collagen in our bodies. These are Proline and Lysine. Proline is considered a non-essential and Lysine one of the nine essential amino acids. Together with Vitamin C they are responsible for producing procollagen that converts to collagen types I and III which enhance the appearance and health of skin.
Our Beauty Protein powder contains Certified Organic Pea Protein, Brown Rice Protein, Sacha Inchi Protein, Chia Seeds and are packed with healthy omega fatty acids and digestive enzymes.
Further our protein powders are rich in antioxidants, magnesium, iron, potassium, beta-carotene and calcium.

Tip of the Week 169
End of the Year Motivation to Become Successful in 2018 | #TomFerryShow Episode 142
I want 2018 to be your breakthrough year.
That won't happen by simply showing up on January 1st, hoping it turns into a great year.
It requires preparation.
In that spirit, I'm sharing four actions to take in December that will put you on track for success in 2018.

Each year Veterans Day is held on November 11th in the United States and celebrates the sacrifices that our veterans of the armed forces have made throughout the years. At Arlington National Cemetery in Washington D.C., a ceremony starting with laying a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldiers followed by a parade and other activities to honor our fallen brothers and sisters who have made the ultimate sacrifice as well as those that survived the hardships of war and put themselves in harm's way for the betterment and protection of our way of life.
You may be asking yourself what does all of this have to do with a business blog, and it may seem out of place in a place where you have come to read business and marketing articles. I say to you that it has everything to do with business and marketing because we live in a free society where we have the freedom of getting up each morning and going to our offices and conducting business that affords us a comfortable lifestyle. This life that we have created for ourselves, the businesses we have worked hard to build and the commerce that we participate in each and every day would not be possible had it not been for the sacrifices that were made on our behalf. Whether you live in the United States, the United Kingdom, or any other free democratic society, somewhere at sometime a sacrifice was made which has allowed you to be free, allowed you to participate in this capitalistic society we have created.
So I ask you to take a moment today in the midst of your wheeling and dealing and to pause for a moment and to thank those that have sacrificed so much, those that have given up their freedom, their life in order to allow you to have the life you have. Let's not forget those that have given so much in order to protect our way of life and granting us the freedom to conduct business and live the life we live.

AM Conservation Group (AMCG) announced Tuesday, January 7 that it has acquired the energy and water conservation products division from its longtime former competitor Niagara Conservation, Inc. , uniting forces to provide the broadest and most competitive product line in the industry. Niagara Conservation, Inc. will continue to operate their high-efficiency toilet business division. The uniting of the leading water and energy conservation companies will allow AM Conservation Group to continually best serve utility and government agency markets.
"We are a long standing industry provider of energy and water conservation products and services and believe there are many synergies to be gained by uniting our two great companies," said Todd Recknagel, CEO of AM Conservation Group. "For over three decades, Niagara has been known as a strong water conservation company and we are excited to gain access to offering their exceptional water and energy conservation product line, enabling us to market the best products from both companies."
According to Recknagel, Niagara decided to sell off a portion of its business after meeting with AMCG's ownership. He said the Niagara Conservation owners felt it made "perfect sense" to combine forces in serving the utility company and governmental agency markets to become the undisputed industry leader.
The combination of the two companies allows customers to choose the best product option selection from both brands, as well as give the newly formed entity the future ability to ship both AMCG and Niagara Conservation branded products from the west and east coasts, allowing more efficient and faster shipping.
AM Conservation Group started in 1989 and quickly became known as a full service source for high quality, competitively priced water and energy saving products. Over the years, AMCG has supplied products and services for some of the largest and most comprehensive conservation programs in U.S. history.
Originally founded in New Jersey in 1977, the now Fort Worth, Texas based Niagara Conservation has earned a solid reputation for delivering water and energy conservation products that maximize efficiency while still maintaining optimal performance. The Niagara Conservation owners will continue to build the high-efficiency, toilet-related business and focus their energies on growing that market.
As part of the acquisition, AM Conservation Group will bring many key Niagara Conservation employees to its team and has already taken steps to integrate them into their company and culture.
"We felt there were many strong synergies to be gained by providing AM Conservation Group with the rights to produce and distribute Niagara branded products," said Niagara Conservation Founder and President William Cutler. "Customers will benefit tremendously as the newly expanded AM Conservation Group team will now be the premier provider for energy and water efficiency products, services, and programs."

Chris Hemsworth proved that he has a very hilarious side during his recent segment on Saturday Night Live. Not only did the handsome actor poke fun at his equally as handsome young brother, Liam Hemsworth, but he also dressed up in drag for a laugh-out-loud skit.
Hemsworth really got into character and sported a honey blonde wig and body-hugging dress equipped with kitten heels. His character, Claire, also gushed with her girlfriends about the hottest men on the big screen including the Thor actor himself. "What about Chris Hemsworth in Thor," he asked before joking, "I'd rather see him out of the armor. Right, b-tches?"
When Claire's friends start to compare him to his youngest brother, the actor chimes in, "Liam is gross. I heard he breastfed until he was four."

The Qualities Of A Talented Cinematographer
Camera work where you capture what is going on in front of the camera is not something that is important only in the film industry where you make movies for people to enjoy. This is an essential fact even in making films or videos about your significantly important personal or professional events.
Since this has proven to be a true fact we now have events videography services offered to us by different firms. They are offering to film important functions in our life. However, if you want to get the best results you need to be sure to pick the right cinematographer or the right professional firm to film the event. Here is what you have to consider if you want to achieve that goal.
Ability to Capture Different Moods on Film
The professional service which provides you with the professionals should be able to deliver you with the services of an expert in the field who knows how to capture different moods on film. Especially when we consider wedding cinematography in Singapore we know that the event that is being filmed here is a very emotional one. The video of that event should be able to capture all that in film. Otherwise, there is no need at all to film that whole thing.
Full Coverage of the Event
The professional should also be able to provide full coverage of the event. There are some people who would not cover the whole function either because they have to be somewhere else or because they do not have the right temperament to face any problems that occur at the function. However, from the client's side that is very unfair. Therefore, when you are hiring someone make sure to hire someone who is going to stay committed to cover your whole function with the best quality.
Quality Service
The professional you hire should be able to provide you with a high quality video that is edited perfectly too once the ceremony is over. That is why you are hiring that person. You can see the quality of their work by going through some of their previous works.
Friendly Approach to the Clients
You also need someone who is going to listen to you and answer your questions to clear your doubts. They will help you have a perfect time during the function without bothering you since you have already cleared everything necessary by the time the function is beginning.
If a professional exhibits all of these qualities you should consider hiring him or her to cover your important event.

Like everyone else, I was saddened by the news of the fire at London Zoo. It's a place I know very well, from several visits over many years, and one very close to my heart when I wrote Cyrus Song. Four meerkat brothers are missing presumed dead, an aardvark called Misha perished, and I lost a little friend.
Misha and Otto
I first visited London Zoo in 1977 on a primary school trip. Back then the big draw was Guy the gorilla, and we happened to visit on the day he died. Hoping I hadn't cursed the place, I've returned many times since without incident, and most recently for the chapters of Cyrus Song which are set there.
A lot of research went into the book, to make the science plausible and the characters real. The three human leads each have a notebook on a shelf in my studio, containing their life stories, very little of which made it into the novel, but it was knowing the characters which allowed me to bring them to life in the unwritten words. I familiarised myself with London Zoo's 'Inventory', and researched many of the species therein, so that I could give them voice and personality through the Babel fish.
Unfortunately on the day Simon Fry visited, the aardvarks were asleep:
There were too many interesting animals I wanted to speak to for me to be able to place them in any sort of order. So I decided to just go from A to Z. In the time available, I'd probably be able to speak to the aardvarks and the zebras, but very few others. But the big draw for me was the reptile house: Not because of my fascination with snakes in general, but because London Zoo is home to one male and one female black mamba.
Of course it would be handy if London Zoo laid out all of their exhibits alphabetically, but that wouldn't be practical, so they didn't. This being a warm spring Sunday afternoon, the zoo was quite busy. The aardvarks are in the 'Animal Adventure' area, which is mainly for young people. And aardvarks are nocturnal, so they were asleep. Which was a shame, because Misha and Otto looked like a couple very much at ease in one another's company, at least when asleep. Otto had arrived from Berlin Zoo in 2014, so I'd have liked to ask him about that city, and whether he'd seen David Bowie.
It's cold comfort that the post mortem shows she died of smoke inhalation in her sleep. But there she was, little Misha, curled up with Otto and both looking very pleased with themselves in dreams. I can only imagine how the guy from Berlin must be feeling now, but I do know that the zoo staff are very socially aware with the animal people, so he'll be getting some sort of aardvark counselling. If only he could read my book, he'd see that I put him and Misha (she was from Holland) in a story which changed a lot of lives, and gives a perfectly reasonable answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything.
I've written many times of how I don't write for the money, because there's hardly any for the undiscovered self-publishing masses. I have my basic needs covered, so anything I make from writing I give away. I can hardly be called a philanthropist, as it's really not much, but it's what I don't need. When life decided to give me a second chance, I resolved I'd pay it back.
As well as the charitable donations, I make my books available in libraries (on request), as I realise not everyone can afford books (I couldn't once, and I used to base myself in a library when I was living on the streets). For those who can afford books, buying mine benefits good causes (mainly animal, homeless and addiction) and hopefully delivers a good read. Of course, anyone can donate directly to the charities but if we're honest, most won't. If someone's buying a book anyway (because it's received good reviews), the altruism by proxy is a small bonus. So it seemed only right to donate any proceeds from the sale of Cyrus Song in January to the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), the whole science side of the zoo which the public displays and learning support.
I shan't milk the passing of every individual leaf cutter ant to plug my book, but Misha has a place in my heart from it.
History predicts that each new book increases interest in preceding ones, so with The Unfinished Literary Agency almost finished, Cyrus Song might get noticed more. And that's good for Misha and Otto.
In loving memory of Misha Aardvark, 20.06.07 – 23.12.17

* Langeled flows rise near 70 mcm/d
* Curve slides with oil as Asia growth forecast cut
* Low wind supports power prices
LONDON, Oct 8 (Reuters) - British prompt gas prices eased onMonday as imports from Norway via the Langeled pipeline regainedfull strength following processing problems last week, whilemilder weather forecasts for October also helped keep a lid ongains.
Gas for within-day delivery slipped to 62.20 pence, down0.05 pence on Friday's closing level at 0830 GMT and day-aheadgas
traded down at 62.30 pence.
"The market is down this morning. Norwegian producers haveincreased flows today after maintenance and the weather has comein slightly warmer for October," a UK gas trader at a bank said.
Langeled imports rose to nearly 70 million cubic metres perday (mcm/d) on Monday, after a hiccup last week to restartNorway's main plant processing gas for export, Kollsnes, wasresolved.
Problems to fully restart the Kollsnes plant last weekspooked some traders and the fact that Monday's within-day gasprice was not significantly lower showed that some participantsmaintained long positions due to scepticism about the facility'sreliability, one market analyst said.
The UK gas system was well supplied on Monday thanks to thesurge in Norwegian imports and steady flows from theNetherlands. The UK gas premium over Belgian gas prices alsoincentivised some gas flows into Britain via the Interconnectorpipeline, National Grid data showed.
Losses on the prompt also weighed on the front months, withNovember shedding 0.65 pence to 63.45 pence and December tradingat 65.35 pence, down 0.35 pence on the previous session.
Summer 2013 gas
slid in line with a weak oilprice, which reacted to the World Bank cutting its economicgrowth outlook for East Asia and the Pacific, home to two of theworld's largest oil consuming nations.
The front-season gas price fell 0.25 pence to 60.75 pence,while winter 2013/14 gas traded down 0.45 pence at 69.60 pence.
In Britain's over-the-counter power market short-term pricesrose on the back of a downward revision in wind power productionforecasts.
"Low wind predominantly is leaving the system reasonablytight," said on UK power trader.
Baseload day-ahead electricity traded at 45.40 pounds permegwatt-hour, up nearly 2 pounds on Friday's spot trading level.
Wind power output was expected to drop below 600 MW onTuesday and Monday's levels turned out around 300 MW less thanforecast, National Grid data showed.

A Virtual Tour of Gerlach Hall
In this blog post I will show you what the day-time home of a Fisher Graduate Student looks like! Masters of Accounting, Finance, Human Resource Management, and Business Administration alike all share Gerlach Hall. So come along as show you some of the most popular places in Gerlach Hall according to Fisher Graduate Students.
View from the Fisher Courtyard of the front of Gerlach Hall
2nd Floor Graduate Student Lounge
The Graduate Student Lounge is the popular place for group meetings, eating lunch, or taking a break in between classes. It is also conveniently located just a floor below a majority of classes!
A majority of the classrooms in Gerlach Hall are set up in a similar style--concentric semi-circles surrounding a speaking area. This design is great for stimulating classroom communications as well as interactive lectures.
This computer lab, which is only open to Graduate Students, is located on the Second floor of Gerlach Hall and is open 24/7. Every graduate student is given a login and password and a print allotment for all of their classroom material needs.
It is also important to point out that Fisher Graduate students get out of the business school to explore all of the other great aspects of Ohio State's campus outside of The Fisher College of Business! Stay tuned for a note on the most exciting experiences an OSU student can have when The Ohio State Buckeyes football team takes on The University of Hawaii at home on September 12th!

Royal Ranger Adult Leader Training
The fundamental goal of training is to inspire, mobilize, and resource leaders to empower them to achieve their greatest success and effectiveness. Royal Rangers training is based on three core values:
- Spiritual Development. All classroom and event-based leadership training will have a spiritual emphasis.
- Ranger Skills Development. Training will focus on the seven methods Royal Rangers use to minister to boys. Ranger skills are a key component of this success.
- Leadership Development. Leadership development will be key as Royal Rangers moves to become a boy led, adult-facilitated ministry.
It takes a leader to mentor new leaders. Training will help Royal Rangers strengthen its leadership core.
Church leadership believes that well-trained leaders are the key to any ministry's success. Pastors understand that a trained volunteer is much more likely to commit their time and can be counted on to show up every week. For these reasons and others, the Royal Rangers program places a high priority on leader training.
Training Opportunities for Adult Leaders
Outpost Leader Advancement Levels are a streamlined training process with clear objectives and achievable goals. These combine local training offered by the district and national training events designed to equip leaders with the skills needed to be an effective leader in the local outpost. On a local level, you can attend Ranger Basics and Ranger Essentials. Ranger Safety and various other courses are available as online courses that you can take from the comfort of your web browser at the national online training site.
Organizational Leadership Training Levels challenge individuals in positions of service beyond the local level to grow spiritually, to develop well-rounded ministry competencies, and to enhance their leadership aptitudes.
National Camps & Conferences, conducted under the direction of the national Royal Rangers leadership and held at various locations around the country each year
The Rangers Ministry Academy Training Chart provides an overall visual image of the different types of training opportunities, which are either available now or are in development.
You can, of course, attend any of the national level training in any region, but here are the camps and conferences planned for the next couple of years in the Gulf Region. Links are provided for applications to upcoming events
To locate a certified instructor near you or to request a class in your area, please contact:

Huxtable's Great Escape
Huxtable escaped his play pen while being babysat (dogsat technically) one afternoon... after escaping several times it was caught on video (via phone)... every time he escaped he just simply laid on the bed and watched tv :-). It might be time for a bigger play pen for this toy poodle.
Btw, the play pen is Midwest Gold- Zinc Indoor/Outdoor Exercise Pet Pen. They also have it in black, but the gold matched my decor better.

About the show
Please note that performances of Les Misérables have been postponed in response to government advice regarding coronavirus (COVID-19). It will resume performances as early as practical in 2021.
Les Misérables is adapted for the stage from Victor Hugo's novel of the same name and has been performed across the globe to millions of audience members. After playing for years with an iconic revolving stage and direction from Trevor Nunn, the show received an update in 2019. Now directed by Laurence Connor and James Powell, the critically-acclaimed touring production runs at the Sondheim Theatre and features new projections and lighting design to vividly bring the revolution to life.
The show is set in France across a period of several decades, primarily focusing on the life and struggle of former convict, Jean Valjean. Having been imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread, Valjean is finally released on parole. Unfortunately he discovers that his past muddies his future potential and choses a life on the run from his former identity.
Some years later, Valjean makes good and becomes the Mayor of Montreuil-sur-Mer. His prosperous years seem about to falter once again as he takes in the stray child of a prostitute, only to capture the attention of the very police officer who has been searching for him since he skipped his parole 8 years back.
Les Misérables is widely praised for its fantastic music and delights the audience with memorable numbers such as "At the End of The Day," "I Dreamed a Dream," "Do You Hear The People Sing," "One Day More" and "Bring Him Home."
Les Misérables is currently running at the Sondheim Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue and still remains one of the most sought after theatre tickets in town.
Recommended forThose who love a classic musical filled with rousing show numbers will love this production and should be sure to get tickets. The storyline is quite complex, so not ideal for young children who would struggle to keep up.
Age Recommendations: Recommended 7+. No under 5s. All persons aged under 16 must be accompanied and sat next to the accompanying adult. They may not sit on their own within the auditorium. If children do have separate seats, entry could be refused.

"I have known Rob Pagliuso for many years and found him to be an outstanding builder. He has excellent technical skills and knowledge and has a passion for infusing quality in every building project.
This has been recognised by the Master Builders Association which has awarded Trend Constructions an Excellence in Housing Award.
I readily recommend Rob and the Trend team when people or clients ask for a first class builder."
PM – Solicitor
"Rob and Trend Constructions have a reputation for building projects with an honest and open approach. The built form is always of a high standard of finishes by quality craftspeople who are driven by pride and passion in their work.
The biggest testament to the Trend Constructions teams work is that they remain friends with their clients and are top of the list for referral work."
"Trend Constructions have built both of our large family homes, in Mosman and Palm Beach. Each project had many challenges and complexities that we would have struggled with if we did not have Rob to guide us and provide technical and practical solutions.
Trend Constructions have been very conscious of timelines and budgets and have always exceeded our expectations in this respect.
The results are outstanding and we would look no further for a builder on future projects."
"Trend Constructions substantially renovated our property in 2014 in Mosman.
They came recommended by some friends who had recently finished a major project with them.
We found Rob Paguliso and his team to be committed and focused on producing the highest quality product in the shortest period.
The team and contractors were highly skilled and had worked together over a number of years which resulted in a smooth renovation."
