Sunday 26th July 2015.
This five piece band from London formed in 2013, The Wild lies have been described as hard rock fused by intricate grinding riffage colliding with stadium rock chorus melodies. Unfortunately Wild Lies was unable to make the festival as their van broke down, but you did not hear me complaining as this then meant SKAM had a longer set.
SKAM are a three piece band from Leicester formed five years ago. With a hard, heavy rock sound SKAM describe themselves as "British hard rock for a new generation". SKAM have supported many bands including The Answer, The Union and Bonafide plus headlined their own shows and festivals. I first fell in love with SKAM when they played Steelhouse two years ago, and have yet to be disappointed as they give it their all every time.
Opening a very very wet and muddy Sunday, SKAM played their title track from their current album "Peacemaker", a good heavy song to get you warmed up. Continuing with their next single and slowing it down a little "The Wire" and treating us to a new song from their next album out next year "Between The Eyes".
As they had a little more time than planned we had the good old AC/DC favourite "Whole Lotta Rosie" and my favourite "Going Away" written by bassist Matthew Gilmore". Finishing with "No Lies" and a big thank you to the crowd for making it up the mountain in the pouring rain to see them, especially those stood up front and even the cowards in the beer tent!
No Hot Ashes first formed in the 80's and recorded their debut album in 1988 but due to circumstances beyond their control the album never actually got released and by the late 1990's it was obvious the band had called it a day.
Reforming in September 2013, playing a tribute gig for the Rosetta Bar, they carried on playing and since the beginning of 2014 have supported Aerosmith, Foreigner, FM and UFO. Playing Hard Rock Hell AOR, Donnington, Download and London Calling.
Showing off their harmonies with "Boulders" and the ironically "Summer Rain", No Hot Ashes did not let the weather ruin their 80's fuelled rock performance.
Colour Of Noise are a five piece classic rock band from Brighton. They describe themselves as "We are steeped in the tradition of the late 60's British blues boom and early 70's stadium rock".
Warming the crowd up with hard rock and playing tracks from their debut album available on pledge music including "Head On", the Colour Of Noise were not fazed by the ongoing rain.
FM was formed in 1984 in London. The band was originally composed of Merv Goldsworthy, Pete Jupp, Steve Overland, Chris Overland and Philip Manchester. Current band members are Merv Goldsworthy, Pete Jupp, Steve Overland, Jem Davis, Jim Kirkpatrick. At Nottingham's Rock City on 27 October 2007, FM played together again in public for the first time in twelve years. The reaction the band received to this one-off appearance led to the swift decision to make the reunion permanent.
Unfortunately the constant rain got the better of me and I retreated back to the car to warm up and dry off and so did not get a chance to see FM perform.
Dorothee Pesch, known as Doro, is a German hard rock singer-songwriter, formerly front-woman of the heavy metal band Warlock.
Doro gave it all she got on a very wet stage, coming out on the runway punching the air and getting very close to the crowd, she certainly felt very at home belting out hits "Burning Witches", "Raise Your Fist" and a big crowd pleaser "All We Are".
Tyketto are a hard rock band based out of New York City. The group were put together in 1987 by Danny Vaughn, Brooke St. James, Jimi Kennedy, and Michael Clayton. The band split in 1996, reforming in 2004. 2007 saw them release their "Last Sunset – Farewell 2007 but yet reformed again in 2008 but Brooke St James was not able to join them. Current members now are Danny Vaughn, Michael Clayton Arbeeny, Ged Rylands, Chris Green and Chris Childs
Tyketto are a band I had heard of but never really listened to. I had so many people tell me I had to see these live as they are awesome, they were not wrong! Playing many of their hits over the last 25 years including "Burning Down Inside", "Lay Your Body Down" and slowing it down with "Forever Young" and "Standing Alone".
As the rain carries on pouring Danny Vaughn announces to the Steelhouse crowd that they are "the toughest mother fucking rock and roll audience I have ever seen"and continuing with "Dig in Deep" ironically about a mountain. As the rain started to ease off they dedicated a song to the legendary Dee Snider "Sound Off".
The great thing about a festival is you always come back with at least one band you didn't really know and really enjoyed, Tyketto was this year's band for me. Absolutely awesome!!
Daniel "Dee" Snider is an American singer-songwriter, screenwriter, radio personality, and actor. Snider is most famous for his role as the frontman of the heavy metal band Twisted Sister. "To Hell and Back" represents the first truly new, original musical offering since the 90's. He has starred in many reality tv shows, a frequent host on MTV Networks and has his own radio show "House of Hair" and he recently had the starring role on Broadway in the hit musical Rock Of Ages.
As the rain started to come down heavy again, I had to abandon Dee Snider, I saw him play AC/DC's "Highway to Hell", Twisted Sisters "I'm Not Going To Take It" and his new single "To Hell and Back". I was disappointed to leave Dee Snider, the first few songs I heard you knew he was going to put on an incredible show but the rain was coming down fast and hard and the winds had got up. My lovely warm and dry hotel room was calling me!
I had an incredible weekend of rock and roll, the best bands for me was Massive Wagons, Trucker Diablo and SKAM. Although it was Tyketto that stole the show. As one of the countries smallest festival record numbers of 8000 at this year's festival show that it's getting bigger each year with the first year only having a few hundred, even the weather doesn't stop us rockers! Early bird tickets are on sale for next year's festival already, if you haven't been before I certainly recommend it. Hope to see you up the mountain in 2016!

My husband enjoys fruit with his breakfast, but I often find the frozen kind we buy hasn't been defrosted enough for my taste; strawberries akin to icy ping pong balls just don't cut it in the morning. So, Keith buys a variety of fruit juices for me. For reasons known only to him, he insists on placing them (which only I use) and the almond milk (which only I use) and the protein powder (the kind that only I use) on the top shelf of our cupboard. This necessitates my dragging a burlwood kitchen chair weighing slightly less than my Prius over to the cabinet so I can stand on it and access my groceries. In the alternative, I hoist myself backwards on the countertop and twist to attempt to reach awkwardly-shaped and fragile glass bottles.
Incidentally, this storage system doesn't apply to foods that he uses regularly: there are not one, but two containers on the surface of the kitchen island, filled with cookies and chocolate bars.
The other day I asked him why he kept putting my things up high, and he said (soundly like the Big Bad Wolf), "The better to keep track of what you're consuming, and what we're spending." Before I could finish my eyeroll, he added, "Sleeping with the Accountant."
At the end of last week Christians observed Good Friday, commemorating the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. One event that occurred at His crucifixion is not always mentioned, but of utmost symbolism: "And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Then behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God." (Matthew 28:20)
Obviously a lot happened surrounding Christ's death and resurrection, but my focus here is the tearing of the veil in the Jewish temple. The use of the Greek word katapetasma for the curtain indicates that it was the innermost veil, the one separating the outer area from the Holy of Holies, to which only the high priest was permitted access, and then only once a year on Yom Kippur, to offer sacrifice for the sins of the Jewish people. Historians understand the dimensions to have been thirty feet wide, sixty feet long, the thickness "of a man's hand," or about four inches, and weighing four tons. Its supernatural destruction is a picture of the truth that Jesus' death forever opened the way for mankind to be reconciled to God.
Yesterday we celebrated His resurrection, the triumph over death that is the foundation for our present faith and hope for the future. I'm grateful I don't have a cosmic accountant who's keeping track of a lifetime of my mistakes. As King David wrote, "For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those Who fear Him; As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us." (Psalm 103:11-12)
Now that's an accounting I can live with. Forever.

Departmental Papers (BE)
Document Type
Conference Paper
Date of this Version
May 2006
We describe a neuromorphic chip with a two-layer excitatory-inhibitory recurrent network of that exhibits localized clusters of neural activity. Unlike other recurrent networks, the clusters in our network are pinned to certain locations due to transistor mismatch introduced in fabrication. As described in previous work, our pinned clusters respond selectively to oriented stimuli and the neurons' preferred orientations are distributed similar to the visual cortex. Here we show that orientation computation is rapid when activity alternates between layers (staccato-like), dislodging pinned clusters, which promotes fast cluster diffusion.

Beloved Brazilian TV actor Domingos Montagner has died while filming scenes for a hit soap.
The 54-year-old, who starred in hugely popular soap opera Velho Chico, drowned in the Sao Francisco river.
According to the BBC , Domingos had been swimming with actress Camila Pintanga in the north-eastern state of Sergipe following a day of shooting when he ran into trouble.
Camila said he was dragged away by strong currents. Although she called for help, locals initially assumed they were acting out a scene in the soap.
A local police chief said: "They thought they had chosen a safe spot to swim, but that is one of the most dangerous areas in the town of Caninde and usually avoided by locals."
Rescue teams reportedly found his body around 300 metres underwater from where he drowned.
Domingo, who was born in Sao Paulo, started out in the circus before embarking on a career in telvision. He has three children with wife of 14 years Luciana Lima.

Our online store is coming soon
In a time where quality of product and service is diluted more than ever, Wapping Wines stands out for delivering quality wines, champagnes and beers at very fair prices. An added bonus is an informative & knowledgeable service if purchasing wines/champagnes, and also a bit of banter on offer with the owner if required.
I am a Wapping local, however even if I wasn't, I would still travel in to appreciate a great selection and crucially, value for money.
Anthony Graves
I am a wine professional of over 10 years myself, and I have to say - Wapping Wines is a gem. Excellent wine selection at very fair prices, the staff have true knowledge and passion for what they do and it shows. Very impressive indeed!
Lived around the corner for 20 odd years. H and Taj are fixtures of the local community and always incredibly helpful and enthusiastic about their products. When there's something that I've wanted them to stock it's as good as done.
Ben Nash
Great selection of wines and nice vibe. Owner is knowlegeable about wines and always ready to help you to choose the right one based on what you are looking for. The range is wide so fits any pocket, which is a mega plus! Highly recommended.

Mark van 't Klooster
After being a patron of wapping wines for just under 2 years and I don't have a any bad words to say, I have made true friends with the owner H and Taj. When I first went in I member thinking bit pricy, and wasn't too sure but I can honestly say I am glad I stuck it out. I find beers and wines here that is struggle to find anywhere. And that is just the start H and Taj have a strong understanding of their customers; learning who they are and what they like and have a true passion, not just for their products, but to deliver time and again even if they don't stock what your after they'll get you a price and order it in especially for you, it truly is a fantastic service that makes you feel like your a wanted and welcome friend and that is why I keep going back. Ps ask for the red that goes with turkey it's a Christmas delight and if your brother doesn't spill the bottle you'll be fighting over the last glass!

American Libraries – Bringing Harassment Out of the History Books">Bringing Harassment Out of the History Books
"As stories of sexual misconduct continue to dominate the news, some alleged perpetrators bear household names (Kevin Spacey, Garrison Keillor, Harvey Weinstein, James Franco), and some don't (Humane Society CEO Wayne Pacelle, NPR editor Michael Oreskes, Metropolitan Opera conductor James Levine). Though his moniker is absent from modern headlines, there's one harasser whose name is known to librarians everywhere: Melvil Dewey. In the #MeToo era, how should the library profession handle Dewey's legacy, tainted as it is by sexism and racism? Dewey—who was, of course, a founder of the American Library Association (ALA) and the inventor of the widely used Dewey Decimal Classification—made numerous inappropriate physical advances toward women, including library colleagues and his own daughter-in-law, over a period of many years. Eventually, Dewey was ostracized by the ALA as a result of what one librarian of the period called his "outrages against decency." In addition, Dewey refused to admit Jews, African Americans, or other minorities to the Lake Placid Club, the private Adirondacks resort in New York that he and his wife owned and operated for many years. Booker T. Washington was disallowed from its dining rooms, Dewey bought up adjoining land for fear it would otherwise be sold to Jews, and promotional literature made it clear that "no Jews or consumptives [were] allowed" on the property. ("Personally, many of my choicest friends are Jews," Dewey wrote in an evasive response to a membership request from one Albert Harris of New York City.) Yet 87 years after his death, Dewey remains revered as the "father of modern librarianship," "a pioneer in library education," and "a pioneer in the creation of career opportunities for women," as the Library of Congress website calls him. Indeed, the ALA itself bestows the Melvil Dewey Medal, and American Libraries' own Dewey Decibel podcast bears his name (but has dropped his likeness from its logo)…"

Gadda, Carlo Emilio
Gadda, Carlo Emilio(kär`lō āmē`lyō gäd`dä), 1893–1973, Italian novelist. Although trained as an electrical engineer, Gadda devoted his energies to writing. His difficult style, deliberately obscure, precludes a wide audience. A fascination with words led him to use phonetic tricks (e.g., deliberate misspellings, dialects) to distort and mock formal writing and produce a fresh realism. Gadda's early works are collected in I sogni e la folgore (1955). His best-known novel is Quer pasticciaccio brutto de via Merulana (1957, tr. That Awful Mess on Via Merulana, 1965). His Acquainted with Grief appeared in English in 1969.

Gadda, Carlo Emilio
Born Nov. 14, 1893, in Milan. Italian writer.
Gadda began his literary career at the end of the 1920's. His talent unfolded after Italy's liberation from fascism: the antifascist collection Stories From the Duchy Aflame (1953) and the satirical-grotesque novel Acquainted With Grief (final version, 1963). His most characteristic work is the novel That Awful Mess on Via Merulana (1948; final version, 1957), which depicts life in Rome under fascism. Uniquely interwoven in Gadda's works are elements of verism and satire as well as a refined psychologism. The writer exposes the mores of bourgeois Italy. Elements of various dialects and slang are merged in Gadda's complex language.

The New Rules for Banking Leaders: Appearance is Everything
We've talked a lot about the banking crisis over the past year - the differences between Wall Street and Main Street, and how all financial institutions are impacted in one way or another by fallout from the industry's "3 B's," Bailouts, Bernie and Bonuses.
But here's what I didn't see coming yesterday when I spoke at a conference to a group of financial executives about the state of the industry.
This is what it's come down to: In the wake of the executive pay and bonus scandals, banking leaders are afraid to make a single move that could be construed as "extravagant."
We were talking about economic effects on their institutions and communities, the impact of the Heartland data breach and how banking institutions now are forced to play catch-up with all the fraudsters looking to breach them from inside and out. And so I asked people repeatedly: "What's your biggest concern these days?"
Two of the conference goers said independently to me: "I'm worried that a TV news crew is going to rush in here and do a story about how all these [financial executives] are spending all this money to attend a conference ..."
I was stunned. This is what it's come down to: In the wake of the executive pay and bonus scandals, banking leaders are afraid to make a single move that could be construed as "extravagant."
Now, we aren't talking about some 1990s boondoggle where the CEO takes his executive staff to the Caribbean for a week of fun, games, an open bar and - ahem - "strategic planning." Or the annual sales meeting that always got held at a ski resort.
We're talking about an annual industry association meeting, where leaders gather in-state for professional development, vendor meetings, educational sessions (such as the one I led) and, yeah, a little socializing. A pre-event golf tournament, but nothing scandalous.
And yet these leaders who have survived recessions, examinations, breaches and other crises - they're worried about the prospect of being seen on "Action News."
That just struck me as a real telling statement of the times we're in - tangible evidence of how Wall Street has affected Main Street, and how "trust" is more important and delicate than ever.
Appearance is everything now. I spoke to two different CISOs last week about staffing issues at their banks - who they're hiring and how they're compensating professional staff. I asked about salaries, benefits and bonuses, and both execs stopped me right there. "We don't talk about 'bonuses' anymore," they said. Thank you, AIG.
I spoke with another CISO - a sports fans - about his favorite baseball team. "We used to have season tickets," he said, "but these days none of our executives wants to take a chance on being seen in a luxury box with a client."
Argue this anyway you want. Maybe it's a good thing that business leaders are spending more time with the rest of us in the grandstands or bleachers, or away from ballparks altogether.
But you can't argue this: It's a whole different ballgame altogether for banking/security leaders and how they present themselves to their customers.
And what I saw this week, I suspect, is only one of the new rules of engagement.

Wildlife Habitat Management

Mississippi's timber industry remained its second highest producing agricultural commodity again in 2019.
Coming in with an estimated production value of $1.15 billion, timber followed the state's poultry industry, which generated an estimated value of $2.78 billion in 2019. Timber's value of production is estimated by monthly severance taxes collected by the Mississippi Department of Revenue.
Mississippians pondering ideas for a side business could consider investing in land and planting stem cuttings of Leyland and Murray cypress trees.
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- There are major differences between hardwood management and pine management, but they have one goal in common: Landowner objectives should drive the course of action.
Since the downfall of the housing market in 2007 and the subsequent recession, stumpage prices have fallen for every sector of the pine forestry market for pulpwood, chip-and-saw and sawtimber.
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Mississippi is one of just two states east of the Mississippi River not infested with emerald ash borers, and landscapes need everyone's help to keep it that way.
Blake Layton, Mississippi State University Extension Service entomologist, said the emerald ash borer -- or EAB -- is an invasive, nonnative pest that has killed hundreds of millions of ash trees in the eastern U.S. Fairly expensive, annual treatments can protect high-value landscape trees, but they have to be applied preventatively.
Success Stories
Drew Sullivan admits his first timber tract would not have fetched an appraiser's attention, but he usually drove back home from a lumber yard in Kemper County each week with around $150 in his pocket— not bad for a 15-year-old Mississippi boy growing up in the mid-90s.
During his tenure as an engineer at Boeing, Ottis Bullock helped build machines that went into the air and to the moon, but he always had an interest in the trees that grew from the ground where he came of age.

A file extension is an identifier used as a suffix to a name of the computer file in an operating system such as Microsoft Windows. It can be categorized as a type of metadata. A file extension helps the operating system to understand the characteristics of the file, and to some extent, its intended use.
A complete filename includes the name of the file as well as its extension. It is usually three or four characters long, although in rare cases it could be one or two, and it is used as a suffix to the file name. It is often separated from the filename with the help of the dot (.) symbol. Some operating systems include the file extension as part of the file system itself, thus limiting the format and length of the extension. In the case of Windows operating systems, file extensions are usually hidden from users. File extensions can be renamed, however simply renaming a file extension does not necessarily convert one file format to another.
File extensions help the file system and users mainly in two ways. First, it helps in identifying the type of data it holds. Second, the file extension allows the operating system to choose the proper application with which to open a file. This is convenient to users and helps in learning and operating on unfamiliar data files with the help of their file extensions.

Got rid of bind tables in the exported irc function table. They're not used anywhere in the core or other normal modules. Other people should use find_bind_table(), not #define's. Got rid of H_* bind tables in irc module. All are BT_* now. Integrated the new bind tables in with the normal bind/unbind command. Made tcl callbacks work with the normal data types (string, int, user (handle)). Got rid of old bind tables in server.mod Made ctcp.mod use the new bind tables. Wrote down most of the stuff I did so that ITE could see a detailed report :) hehe (although I have a feeling I've left something out)
This is a big patch! Created several new bind tables (raw, msg, msgm, pub, pubm) to see how it would work. Seems to work well so far, although there could be bugs. Added most of the new important bind table functions to the global table.
Gettext phase 1: created a dummy _() macro, replaced old get_lang #defines with the respective string entries in english.*.lang and removed them.
added adns dir

In this episode Alex Schneideman of www.asprinting.net talks to John Tiberi, a photographer who happened upon the early punk scene in London and then shot it from the inside.
It was the grim, austere mid seventies and John Tiberi was working as an advertising photographer in the Soho studio scene of the day but loved the music he found in the pubs around Ladbroke Grove. When he happened upon Joe Strummer and his band the 101ers John's life took a new turn and he found himself on the inside of a cultural phenomenom which led to him embedding himself, camera in hand with Joe Strummer, The Clash and The Sex Pistols. It was arguably John Tiberi who create the punk movement when he put the 101ers as headline in a gig with the Sex Pistols as the support act.
John became the Sex Pistols tour manager and was instrumental in some of their most famous recordings – but he was, and continues to be, a photographer. His photographs of a very young John Lydon and Sid Vicious are extraordinary studies of youth on the verge of chaos.
I had such a great chat with John and, as is becoming the norm for Photographcia conversations, the philosophy and the ephemeral are just as interesting as the photography itself.
Remember! Send any feedback to me at firstname.lastname@example.com or leave comments and rate us on iTunes.
I'm working on a proper website where I'll be able to show lots more material to add to the, hopefully, immersive quality of the conversations.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that Colby Mercer would be travelling to Melbourne to play for the Norwood Flames U12 Division 1 team in the Medibank National Junior Classics, the most prestigious junior basketball tournament in the country. They made a valiant effort playing multiple games against the best of the best from Victoria, NSW and the ACT, ultimately being ranked #12 in the country.
SAPSASA Soccer
Four Rostrevor players have been selected to represent the Torrens District in SAPSASA Soccer. Congratulation go to Aiden Schirripa, Nicholas Robinson, Cameron Tunno and Marco Cerracchio.
Rostrevor competed at the Catholic Primary Schools Athletic Competition at Santos Stadium last week. Aidan Schirripa competed in the Pentathlon and won first place, with four first places and a fourth!
In the overall competition Rostrevor gained second place, only 6 points behind overall winners St Michael's College.
Pedal Prix
The first Adelaide race of the UniSA Australian HPV Super Series was held at Victoria Park Racecourse last Sunday. Rostrevor College entered Middle and Senior School teams. Last year saw a number of new students enter the Pedal Prix Teams and with ageing equipment a parent fundraising group was formed. Within twelve months the parent group lead by Michelle Byrne successfully raised the money to purchase a new Trump Race Trike for the Middle School team.
The team gathered at 8:30am prior to the six hour endurance race with a mix of nerves and enthusiasm. Having only received and assembled the new vehicle two weeks before the race, students had minimal time to practice in the vehicle. Ciaran Byrne started for the Middle School team and his team mates circulated consistently all day, demonstrating fantastic teamwork and co-operation. Carter Smith was the first rider for the Senior team, beginning his fifth year of Pedal Prix at Rostrevor.
Both teams stayed out of trouble for most of the day and avoided any major roll-overs or mechanical problems. Although the Middle School sustained some superficial damage to the bodywork early in the day, this didn't slow the team down dramatically. Both teams finished mid field and we saw considerable improvements with the Middle School team with their new vehicle.
Congratulations on the team spirit to all team members. Jack Rudolph demonstrated a fantastic effort with a long period of consistently fast laps. Patrick Crowley helped out with the Senior team and also showed great development building on last year's form. Ryan Carey also needs thanking for his enthusiasm and consistency on the race track.
Thank you to all the parents who helped out on the day, we couldn't do it without your help. Special thanks to Mark Carey and his business Hydro-Dis for sponsoring our teams and to everyone who contributed to the fundraising to make the purchase of the new vehicle possible.
Our next 6 hour race is on the 30th of July, we are looking for more Year 11 and 12 cyclists to participate. If you are keen to put in some time behind the pedals please see Mr Hunt or Mr Philips.
3XI Soccer
0 def by Pembroke 4
The 3rd XI started slow, which was to be expected when only 9 players take the ground. After only a few minutes Pembroke had dominated and scored 2 goals against a struggling defensive Rostrevor line up. Although under manned and struggling against a Pembroke seconds team, Rostrevor held strong and kept an attacking Pembroke to 3-0 at the break.
Just prior to the break a couple of 2nd XI players had made their way down to help out, and this was just the boost Rostrevor's tiring side needed. The boys begun the second half well and had the majority of the play in their attacking half, having numerous shots without any luck. When Pembroke did manage to push forward they were stopped in their tracks by in-form keeper James Cavallin - clear best on ground saving a large number of shots from the Pembroke side.
After a struggling first 25 minutes, the Rostrevor side played extremely well against the Pembroke second team, being the better side for over 50 minutes. Well done to the boys on their efforts with a vast improvement compared to week 1's result against the same Pembroke team.
9A Football
14-5-89 def Sacred Heart 6-7-43
Another fabulous effort from the prestigious 9A football team. Contested ball was a real focus all day against Sacred Heart and it was an arm wrestle for the entire game. When we switched play and the ball was on the outside, our class, skill and pace shone out and helped us to score goals.
Our forwards looked dangerous for the whole game and were strong in the air and clever when the ball hit the ground. Our midfielders battled hard all day and never gave up on the contest. Our backline was very disciplined and kept Sacred Heart to a low score, which was a great effort considering some of the talent they had in their forward line.
Sacred Heart made a strong comeback in the third quarter and Jake Slivak was positioned as a loose man in defence and played this role admirably helping to stem the tide. Christy Saji was a real enforcer with his attack on the ball in the backline. Tom Cusack collected plenty of the ball in the middle of the ground.
During the last quarter, we got on top of the opposition and kicked a few goals in succession. Ned Carey was exceptional in this quarter with his pack marking and never taking his eye off the ball. It was a real team effort again and each of the 20 boys made their contribution on the day.
The 9A team also played in the second round of the SSSSA Knockout competition, defeating Charles Campbell and Golden Grove High Schools in convincing fashion:
Best players on the day were X. Tranfa, E. Murada, J. Slivak, H. Shute
Greg Thoday for Brett Crabtree
1XVIII Football
15-9-99 def Immanuel College 8-8-50
Round 6 saw us at home against Immanuel in fine playing conditions. This was an important "Knock Out" cup fixture for both teams and there were concerns from past history that our boys tend to start a little slowly after a break.
The first quarter was an even affair with both teams having moments of momentum. Both teams' defences were holding up well and the ball spent a lot of time being rebounded from end to end with minimal impact on the scoreboard.
In the 2nd quarter we began to win more of the ball and started to dominate possession. Despite controlling the play we still continued to struggle to find an effective path to goal, often finding ourselves moving the ball too wide, or trying to execute a risky short pass in the attempt of trying to make something happen. Late in the 2nd quarter we relaxed a little and, against the run of play, Immanuel kicked 2 quick backto-back goals to take the lead by 1 point going into the main break.
With a couple of positional moves made at half time and a re-focus on our ball movement and defensive action, our 3rd quarter was one of the best we have played this year. Our pressure on the opposition was terrific and we started to go more forward with the ball rather than just trying to keep possession.
The last quarter we again took the pressure off the opposition allowing them to again kick a couple of quick back-to-back to back goals. However, we were able to re-group, get the game played back on our terms and finish the game strongly to record a good 49 point win.
So far this season we have been inconsistent with our effort and execution. At times, we have struggled to find an effective forward and midfield chemistry to allow us to kick regular high scores. It was pleasing in this game to again see a good high score on the board. We just need to continue to work on our consistency for the full 4 quarters.
It was great to see our captain Flynn Pisani return to form with some of his tackling and second efforts being a highlight. He set a great example for the others to follow. Cameron Ball continued his outstanding season. His ability to play and have an impact at both ends of the field has been really important for us. Ben Jarvis continues to improve and gain in confidence week by week, demonstrated by his ability to be some strong leads and 3 goals. Mitchell Gum also continued his strong season with another great game in defence. His ability to read the ball and cut off the opposition's movement has helped us form a strong back line. Murphy Short showed what he is capable of with an outstanding 2nd half. His attack on the ball and work rate provided the spark to get the boys rolling in the 3rd quarter.
Congratulations to Tom McCormack & Jacob Scutella on their first 1st XVIII games for the College.
Also, congratulations to Darcy Fogarty, Harrison Petty, Cameron Ball (U18), Luke Valente, Jacob Kennerley, Mihail Lochowiak (U17) and Joshua Shute, Cameron Taheny, Anzac Lochowiak and Thomas Tacono (U16) for their selection in the recent U18, U17 & U16 State Squads. These boys are certainly acquitting themselves well, demonstrating that despite being a smaller school, our program is providing a strong platform towards developing future careers.
Whilst we acknowledge with these boys being out of our first XVIII side, it does leave a large hole and puts pressure on playing numbers for a few weeks. It has been pleasing to see the other boys embrace getting the opportunity and do really well coming in. This week we now move to a Thursday night fixture against PAC. This will be a tough game for us against an unbeaten team, but at our best we know we are capable, we just need to execute it for 4 quarters.

Wandering greens and greys in red tint,
I entered the mouth of a giant.
It washed me with cool air.
Heartbeats of trees
Thumped through the floor under my feet,
Thoughts trickled with the water.
While the ferns followed the waves of the breeze,
The wind nursed me into quiet.
A pitter patter of ducks and wandered the riverside,
And there behind the trees a yellow light glowed,
Casting bronze between the branches.
Then I walked 4 miles of thoughts.
I spent my feelings on food
And my food for a feeling.
I sat in the quiet of a room,
'My room',
Nursing the numb I'd aquired with focus, with focus.
And as weariness takes me,
I roll around and around,
Looking for the cold parts of the sheets,
Until it is stained with me,
And I think about the yellow light, and the ducks, and the thumping of the hearts of the trees in the feeling of my feet.
And it didn't matter anymore…
An image of colour and light,
Such a beautiful memory…

John McDonnell: Labour Promises Permanent Shift In Power
Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell will use keynote speech at Scottish Labour Conference tomorrow morning to spell out the Labour Party's plan to redistribute power. He will say that:
"The dividing lines today are the dividing lines every day, everywhere, as our movement has always known. Not between brothers and sisters either side of a border, or across the channel, but between the haves and have nots - the 95% and the 5% - the many and the few."
"Our goal is about shifting power from those who own the wealth in this country back to those who, through their hard work and endeavour, create the wealth in this country. That's the real division in our society. Not between Scotland and England, but between working people and the money men."
He will attack the privatisation of public services and the use of outsourcing in their delivery, and emphasise the importance of economy democracy to Labour's plans for government:
"We know that the free market fundamentalism of recent years cannot deliver the change we need. It's not just that privatised public services are more expensive and of lower quality. We simply will not be able to face the challenges of climate change and automation without collective action. It's why we announced that we will take PFI contracts back in-house, to save money and gain control over key public infrastructure."

Sprint HTC Hero :: Changing Android Folder Icon?Dec 8, 2009
I have a sprint HTC Hero and have made a few folders on it. But I *hate* the grey colored standard icon - how do I change this? Someone recommended "BetterCut" which I downloaded...it lets me change the icons for other shortcuts (which is great) but not for folders. I don't even mind navigating to this on the actual android device and replacing the original files with new ones - just someone please tell me how?View 6 Replies

A recent University College London study suggests that overuse of satellite navigation systems, or GPS, is actually shutting off parts of our brain. Researchers say that the pre-frontal cortex and hippocampus sections of the brain are stimulated when navigating streets and choosing potential routes but are turned off when following GPS prompts. Just as we develop muscles in our body through exercise, mental activity activates parts of our brain. The authors of this study don't claim that the evidence is conclusive but it leads me to wonder what other brain functions are not being exercised because of our use of technology. This post is dedicated to the idea of a balanced, not blind approach to technology.
Evolutionary Changes
Could it be true that our brains are changing due to emerging technologies? If so, what implications does that have? Is it a net loss in intelligence or is it simply that one area of the brain gets stronger while another gets weaker? I wonder if early society worried about changes when we went from primarily a spoken language to a spoken and written language. Would we get lazy because we no longer had to remember the oral traditions of our forefathers to pass on to future generations? How did writing change us as individuals and as a society? In the same vein, how are digital technologies changing us today? Are we becoming net smarter? So many questions.
London Taxis
A 2011 report highlights biological changes in the brain structure of London taxi drivers. The study shows that these drivers, who study London maps for three to four years before their licensing examination, have increased activity and capacity in one section of their brain but decreased capacity in another part. In other words, by studying routings of London's 25,000 streets their spatial skills increased but other cognitive functional capacity was lost. They are obviously good at their jobs so is the shift in their cognitive abilities a bad thing or is it just different?
Is Google Making Us Stupid?
In a 2008 article in The Atlantic, Harvard Business Review Editor Nicholas Carr asks a similar question when he muses whether Google is making us stupid. To be more precise, he questions whether search engines are changing our reading and study habits and pulling us away from deep reading. He cites his own growing inability to read a long article or an entire book because of his habit of skimming many sources instead of concentrating on one paper or book. He asks the same questions that I pose. Is this change in our cognitive ability good, bad or indifferent? Several studies point to the human brain's incredible plasticity and ability to adapt to changing stimuli so perhaps the answer is simply that it is different and perhaps evolutionary.
New technologies are changing the way we live our lives and perform everyday tasks. I think it is worth asking whether it is changing our habits and thinking for the better or is it just simply change, neither good nor bad. Let me know your thoughts.

What are the products from Opportuniteas – are they really healthy for you?
As people get more health conscious every day, we get concerned about the foods and nutrients we put into our body. The continuous debates as to how much of something we should have or not have gone on every day. One expert says one thing and another will say something completely different. How do we know what to do when the experts can't agree?
The only thing that they seem to agree on is the best way to get more nutrients into our bodies. Taking supplements is a good way to do this. Unfortunately, most supplements are flushed out of our bodies before they have a chance to be absorbed.
