More of Sara's Photos from Caromont Farm
I Heart Goats! (Sara's Trip to Caromont Farm)
Anyhow, I somehow miraculously made it to the farm in time for the morning milking, despite a chronic inability to get out of the bed before ten and a tendency to get blissfully lost on country roads. And what a great day it was! There are so many things to say!
I will limit myself to ten: A gorgeous sunrise drive west past Charlottesville, misty and winding unpaved roads, the sun bursting through and shining down in perfect, painting-worthy beams, getting lost (and thankfully un-lost) on the way there, walking with the goats in the woods and realizing that they are such incredibly endearing creatures with such fantastic personalities, trying in vain to remember all their names, getting to wear a sexy pair of coveralls and a hair net to make cheese, actually getting to scoop curd and tend to aging cheeses for the first time, thoroughly enjoying the good company and conversation while doing so, sitting down mid-day for a wonderful, leisurely, homemade lunch, tasting all sorts of delicious cheeses, and, wait, is that ten things? Hrm. It appears I have listed a baker's ten. Ah, well...
The most important thing is that in addition to all these great experiences, I have a bunch of Caromont cheeses that I brought back for all of us. Ample supplies of herbes de Provence dusted Old Green Mountain rounds (carefully wrapped by yours truly), cups of fresh lemony-delicious farmstead chevre, and a new one to try, the Alberene Ash. This is the cheese we had over the delicious slow-cooked-with-country-ham beans that Gail made for lunch -- yum -- and I hear it is THE cheese to have with beets.
In addition, the cheese case has become a showcase for over a dozen other American made cheeses. I'm feeling downright patriotic, people! More Tumbleweed is on the way, I have a half-wheel of Mountaineer from Meadow Creek Dairy, some velvety-rich Nancy's Hudson Valley Camembert from the Old Chatham Sheepherding Company, oodles of Gootessa Mountain Valley Sharp, and so many more! Come on by and check it out. And, if that's not reason enough to come to the tasting on Friday, it also happens to be our 10th anniversary. You should definitely come help us celebrate. I'm sure there will be bubbles...

When Your Mixer is Alcohol--the French 75 Files
Needless to say, there are a few things in this world I love: Gin and Bubbly are in the top 5. So of course I've been thrilled to be the guinea pig for Kerensa's recent experimentation. What have we learned? Hendricks is the best gin. (Of course). Gruet NV Blanc de Noir* is the best bubbly, both from flavor and price standpoint. Orange slices are the best garnish for balancing flavors, but a garnish of fresh cherries with stems (and a splash of OJ) is more entertaining for an audience. Organic lemons have the sweetest juice which further reduces the need for sugar (this household leans dry--the only time I can say that with a straight face). And finally, according to the superior techniques of Mr. Jason Tesauro (Modern Gentleman author and certified, London-trained gin mixologist), 'washing the ice' "super-cools" the concoction before it hits the glass. This is important because who wants to water down heavy artillery? We probably should, since K pointed out, "Funny things happen when your mixer is more alcohol." Indeed. One is perfection. Two is decadent. Three is a dance party. Here's to being old enough to know to stop there.
*A fabulous, traditional-method bubbly from New Mexico, of all places. Affordable, balanced, beautifully made, it almost seems a shame to mix it with anything except oysters on the half shell, until I remember that true Champagne now starts at around $40...so here's a modified recipe for you to try.
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (organic is best)
1 tablespoon powdered sugar (we prefer superfine)
2 ounces gin (we prefer Hendricks)
3 ounces plus 1 tablespoon chilled Champagne (we prefer Gruet sparkling wine)
lemon peel for garnish (or orange wedge)
In cocktail shaker (after washing your ice in cold water), combine lemon juice, sugar, gin, and ice cubes and shake to chill. Strain cocktail into Champagne flute (we prefer wine glass, on the [washed] rocks) and top off with bubbly. Garnish with citrus and serve.
What is a French 75?
according to wikipedia:
French 75 is a cocktail made from gin, champagne, lemon juice, and sugar. There is some controversy over whether the cocktail was originally made with gin or with cognac and champagne. If Vodka is substituted for the gin it may be referred to as a French 76.
The drink was originally concocted by the Franco-American World War I flying ace Raoul Lufbery who was part of Escadrille Américaine air fighting unit. Legend has it that he liked champagne, but wanted something with more of a kick to it, so he mixed it with cognac which was readily available. The combination was said to have such a kick that it felt like being shelled with the powerful French 75mm howitzer artillery piece, also called a "75 Cocktail", or "Soixante Quinze" in French. The French 75 was popularized in America at the Stork Club.

Sara's Cheesemaking Roadtrip: Meadow Creek Dairy Part 1
There were oodles of beautiful bovines, I took some 650 pictures (photo glutton that I am), I witnessed the magic of turning milk into cheese (can you say PH, temperature control, timing and hard work?), and was thoroughly warmed by the generosity of the Feete family and all who work with them at the dairy.
I suppose the best place to start would be with a giant THANK YOU for allowing this cheesemonger to get in the way for a couple days in an attempt to soak in as much cheese as possible! And believe you me, there was an abundance of knowledge, experience, humor, and a willingness to share that was simply great to be around. I must say that in this day and age, it was lovely to be in the company of folks who truly care about quality over quantity. They care about the land, the cows that graze it, the quality of the milk, the resulting cheeses that we ingest, the people that work there, and even the novice/visitors such as myself.
I brought back one of their fine cheeses for us to sample at this Friday's tasting, the Mountaineer. This raw cow's milk cheese is carefully tended to as it ages on wooden shelves for at least six months. The cellar is damp and cool and the scent upon entry is certainly more intense than I anticipated (who knew?). The room holds cheeses in all stages of development - from the day before yesterday's milky, yellow-white, rind-less newbies to the just-about-legal, reddish-gold, brushed-rind adolescents. I wish I could have stacked them all one on top of each other so you could see the different stages for yourself as they transform. (Perhaps I should have gone that extra mile and taken 651 pictures. Ha.) The resulting cheese however, is delightfully reminiscent of Alpine cheeses - semisoft, nutty, earthy, with a tiny hint of brine and butterscotch. Delicious.
There is so much more to tell and so many more pictures to show but it is 2:30 in the morning and I have a busy day tomorrow! I'll get to some blog entries and photo-uploads while I'm on vacation for those of you who want to know more about my trip. Oh, and keep in mind that we are doing an All-American cheese class the first Monday in August and I'm sure that Meadow Creek Dairy will be included in the line-up. Hope to see you there!

The Miracle Meal

What I Wouldn't Do For Cheese...
Got to Murray's Friday night. Met the crew and fellow classmates, power-tasted some cheese (dinner): St. Nectaire, Quicke's Cheddar, Pyrenees Brebis, Comte, Roomano [sic], Gorgonzola Cremificato & Roquefort. Washed it all down with Prosecco and Merlot. Finally I walked back to Waverly and smuggled a glass of Bas Armagnac out of the hotel bar and into my room, hunkering down with my 800 page study guide...and promptly fell asleep.
I would love to take a minute and wax rhapsodic about NYC, the Village, Murray's, etc., but there's cheese waiting. Suffice to say the City gives me energy, and Murray's gives me inspiration. The old shop was the size that RCC is now. You came in, you turned sideways to pass those before you, you waited. And it was always worth the wait. Now it's the same, but with the eye-widening addition of a glass-walled classroom looming above the sales floor, and the "oh, I wanna see!" cave-teaser below the sidewalk. So the next morning I was confronted with delicious cheese and daunting chemistry. Being a former English major, I was expecting some high school level "food science" rather than full-on biochemistry. But I dug in because I *like* these teachers! Anyone who can make Proteolysis fun gets my vote--yes, that graphic says "variable matrix for biochemical aspects of cheesemaking and affinage." People, these women (Taylor, Liz & Zoe) made me understand cheese from the inside out! Thanks Ladies! Oh, and we made ricotta in class. Pretty cool. And tasty with honey. So, for the next umpteen hours we discussed chemistry, politics, history, religion, animal husbandry and economics. If I had a to sum up cheese in a term that had nothing to do with gastronomy, I would say, "Resource Management." Breakfast? Vermont Butter and Cheese Crottin, Jasper Hill Farms Ayreshire, Jasper Hill Farms Winnemere, Pecorino Ginepro, Hoch Ybrig.
Then we took a break for lunch. Here I have to comment on the diversity of the Murray's BootCampers: a CPA, a freelance writer, a gourmet educator, a chef, dairy farmers and various aspiring entrepreneurs. All were equally cult-like in their interest in cheese. What a great group to learn alongside! At lunch just six of our 20 peeled off for "August"--a lovely, tiny French (Alsatian?) bistro two blocks down. The kitchen was smaller than mine (10x10) mirrored by a cold station where the cook, if he wasn't careful, would burn his arm hair off in the pizza oven. The beauty of this place was a four-way tie: service, wine lovers' by-the-glass list, decadent brunch menu & atrium. Our group ended up ordering salads (only because we were so full of cheese), and then eventually extra sides of bacon and homemade chorizo because we could. Then back to Murrays for more cheese tasting and (yay!) the cave tours.
Saturday night was spent drinking whiskey (Scotland Yard) and eating enchanting Malaysian food with my new friend Marissa, then closing down Babbo's with ever-flowing Fruilian Amaro and cheese-curious bartenders. We spent Sunday sampling MORE cheese, then had a cheese pairing competition with wine vs. beer. On the docket? Vermont Butter & Cheese Coupole (now in at RCC), Langres, Pecorino Foja de Noce, Extra-Aged Mimolette, Jasper Hill Bayley Hazan Blue, all pitted against Muscadet, Riesling, Torrete, Champagne, Madeira, Montborgeau Chardonnay, followed by Bahnhof Weisse, Kriek Lambic, Ommegang Hennepin, Chocarrubica, and Eggenburg Samichlaus. I'm starting to get embarrassed at my gluttony here but it gets much worse (or better, actually).
Sunday night found me at Blue Ribbon Downing Street Bar with two old Richmond transplants, Alan (formerly of Acacia, now bartender at Blue Ribbon) and the lovely and talented Hilty Hazzard. Somehow over the course of (ouch) six and a half hours we managed to eat and drink, um, nearly everything on the menu. No, really: charcuterie, egg shooters, rillette toasts, smoked trout salad along with 3-up flights of Grower's Champagne, Josef Fries Riesling, "Gang of Four" Morgon, and off-the-beaten track dessert wines. That wasn't enough, so after Hilty was responsible and went home, I hung out with Alan and Sefton, the chef from Blue Ribbon Bakery across the street, who gave me a 2am tour of the underground open flame ovens, which were surrounded by bustling armies of diminutive men lugging giant sacks of flour and peeling loaves from million degree, rock-hewn fire pits. That sight made me want a drink. So we went back across the street for a (small) sample of their special Manhattan made with "home-made" bitters (heaven). When the Scotch came out I headed back to the hotel. After all, one has to draw the line somewhere! Needless to say I had fruit for breakfast and slept the entire way back on the train, no longer a size XS. Long live NYC!!!

This post is being typed up a couple of days after the event (I was too busy having fun) so details may not be entirely accurate.
Game 1 - Jason - Misaki vs Seamus
Shared Reconnoiter
My schemes
Claim Jump
Frame for Murder (graveyard spirit)
My opponents schemes
Claim Jump
Seamus, Graveyard Spirit, Belle, 2 Night Terrors, 2 Crooked Men, Canine Remains, Drowned
Misaki, Yamaziko, Ototo, Shang, 2 Torakage
Game Summary & Outcome
Misaki and Co are incredibly fast and downright lethal in close combat, but I think my strategy of avoiding combat worked to a degree. We spent a couple of turns dancing round each other with Toros burying before an ambush almost caught a raised dead doxy and two night terrors from getting near my stake a claim. I could see Misaki and Yamaziko would be in charge range next turn and I found the doxy was just out of melee range, so she took a walk backwards and fired her derringer into the combat. It hit the night terror but failed to wound, but it had the desired result because now my night terrors could use their action 'attracted to noise' to push out of combat and regroup before flock hopping their way over to my claim.
With the majority of the Misaki crew now activated I chose to activate Seamus, walk and shoot Yamaziko with his flintlock. I cheated up my total, got a straight flip and then cheated that with a red joker to inflict a severe and weak for 11 wounds. Not even her ability to use soulstones could save her and I used the resulting corpse to raise a rotten belle.
It didn't all go my way however, with a crooked man and drowned dying pointlessly to ninja combats and Shang making it very difficult for me to maintain my stake a claim.
I had no choice but to send Seamus scurrying after Misaki in the last couple of turns, but I was relatively confident she couldn't kill me. I think Jason had expended his cache at that point, and Seamus had 5 or so stones left. I regretted not having the belle pursue, as a lure on Misaki might have stopped her getting into contact with her stake a claim and I just couldn't do enough damage, or get close enough, with Seamus.
In the end it was a 6-3 loss to me, but the result i think belies how close the game was.
- Misaki can cover a lot of ground, giving her something like a 15" charge range
- Shang is a nice little totem, he has respectable damage on both ranged and close combat attacks and is not to be underestimated
- The toro bury tactic gives them the ability to pop up in the start closing phase within 6 of another friendly. This is a fantastic ambush tactic and one to be avoided. I was very lucky that it was my night terrors that got ambushed!
- I think I missed out on a lot of what Misaki is capable of, as Jason put almost everything he had, after that initial contact, into movement to own the board.
- The graveyard spirit being insignificant cost me control of one table quarter on count back, although on reflection I'm sure Seamus got off Excessive Bleeding on one of Jason's crew and I forgot to action it
Game 2 - Andre - Seamus vs Perdita
Shared Destroy the Evidence
My schemes
Breakthrough (not announced)
Grudge (Exorcist)
My opponents schemes
Grudge (Copycat Killer)
Seamus, 2 Night terrors, 4 canine remains, Bette Noir, Copycat Killer.
Perdita, Peacekeeper, Exorcist, Santiago, Watcher, Judge
Game Summary & Outcome
This was the Gencon variant of DtE, so no destroying counters in turn 1.
The canine remains and Seamus ran up the centre, dodging a building and a forest to make a start on the closest objective. We had the majority of our objectives centred on the board and it was obviously going to be a blood bath. Andre advanced Perdita and the peacekeeper but the sudden movement of my night terrors on the right flank made him stop from committing his Exorcist and Santiago to the fight. In the centre I traded up one dog for a belle and sent the remaining three to keep the peacekeeper busy. Seamus and the belle got bogged down by Perdita and it was only when the dogs started dying the I got an opportunity to raise Bette and go at the peacekeeper with groin strikes. It took a couple of turns but I finally felled the behemoth, which is just as well, as Andrew had just wandered the peacekeeper into range of the copycat killer and was in danger of getting his grudge off.
Perdita broke away from combat and used her actions to walk clear into my deployment zone. I had no choice but to pursue with Seamus and a true Mexican standoff with the flintlock and a soulstone proved to fast for Perdita.
Meanwhile my night terrors, clearly outclassed by Santiago and the exorcist, settled for hunkering down in Andre's deployment zone and missing out on the last evidence marker.
In the end a 3-1 win to me.
- A pack of canine remains is quite effective in close combat. Three managed to pick off something like 5 wounds from a peacekeeper and the debuff they do to defence when they pack together is quite effective
- Perdita can be very fast on her feet if she sacrifices her shooting she can move 15"
- Perdita's faster n you is triggered by charges or ranged shots, simply walking up to her and then using subsequent actions to melee strike bypasses her ability
- Bette Noir with a canine remains deployment system is quite effective, her groin strike did in a peacekeeper quite effectively and it can sometimes be safe to leave her in a combat but I still believe its safest to ensure you have the bury card in your hand before deciding if its time to summon her.
- I'm not sure I'd go with four dogs in one list again for this scenario. Sure they can destroy evidence (when there's two of them) but you must keep them huddled together, making them susceptible to a blast. Had they all died to a blast, Seamus isn't a good summoner and he would have struggled to recover the crew strength
Game 3 - Steve - Seamus vs Zoraida & Collodi
Shared Slaughter
My schemes
Assassinate (Collodi)
My opponents schemes
Assassinate (Seamus)
Seamus, Avatar Seamus, 3 Drowned, Graveyard Spirit, Bette Noir
Zoraida, Collodi, Lilitu, Lelu, 4 marionettes, 1 wicked doll
Game Summary & Outcome
Playing on a t-clips sewers board was a first and we had to work out what affect the sewage had in game terms on movement, opting to play it as severe we got down to it. I hunkered down waiting whilst Collodi and his dolls pushed and pulled their way over to me in two turns. I could see the twins were looking to outflank me, but I thought I could do enough damage to the dolls with my drowned and it almost worked. The drowned only got rip tide off once or twice before they were being swamped with dolls. The slaughter score just kept going up when I was forced to sacrifice the drowned to get bursting spray off on the killer dolls, but it was still fairly even.
Seamus went avatar after killing Lilitu and just managed to finish Lelu before being finished off by dolls. Again the laughter score was pretty even. Zoraida, who had been on doll production duties, chose that point to raven over although her presence wasn't necessary.
Bette appeared, through the death of Seamus, and finished off a couple of dolls but then got knifed in the back to give Steve the slaughter result and to completely table me.
Result 6-0 loss to me.
- I got carried away with the runaway success I'd had with Bette in the last game and wasted 9ss here. She could only be raised by Seamus or Zoraida dying and whilst she did get vengeance for Seamus's death, a couple of crooked men, or better yet, some punk zombies, would have been a lot nicer.
- Drowned were quite effective at killing wicked dolls but the three wounds on a marionette saved them from instant death and then Collodi would just heal them up before sending them right back at me again.
- Pulses don't go through walls. It sounds obvious but when you're hoping to kill dolls and they are hunkered down in an adjacent room, that wall is going to get in the way!
- When you can't find an effective scheme, buy yourself five extra soulstones by dropping it. Another minion here might have helped bolster the defence and stop me from being tabled
Game 4 - Peter - Kirai vs Lady J
Shared Treasure Hunt
My schemes
My opponents strategies
Holdout (not announced)
Kirai, 5 Seishin, 2 Night Terrors, Gaki, Lost Love, Datsu-Ba
Lady J, Watcher, Austringer, Judge, 2 Witchlings, Desperate Merc
Game Summary & Outcome
When I saw the board and realised where the treasure was I immediately thought of Kirai. This board had one central street, which the treasure would be placed smack bang in the middle of. The buildings all ran down the street and I figured, if I went up the street in broad daylight I'd get cut to ribbons, so why not walk straight through those walls and stay in cover for as long as possible.
I flock hopped two night terrors, with the Gaki for support, up the right and took a more cautious summoning route on the left with Kirai, bringing up an Onryo and moving it and Datsu up on point to support the Terrors when they made their move.
Peter imarched most of his crew down the road and sent the Austringer and watcher up to higher ground.
We advanced and in turn 2 one of judges denied my terrors the treasure, so I swarmed it it with the terrors and brought up the Gaki. Lady J felled the Gaki and Peter started to reinforce his position around the treasure.
The Austringer fired off a couple of eagles, with those birds flying in doors and windows to get at my crew, but didn't do too much damage.
I summoned another Onryo and an Ikiryo and went out in the open to duke it out. We traded blows with Peter killing a Gaki and an Onryo and me killing a Witchling and hurting a judge.
Whilst this was going on, I could see the desperate merc advancing down a parallel street but I couldn't see it's purpose so I ignored it, figuring it would die at the end of turn 3. Peter proved me wrong when he burnt two soul stones to keep the merc alive and ran him clear into my deployment zone.
With Kirai near the back I launched her and her remaining Seishin at the merc but I was too far off to do anything. Meanwhile the centre of the board had become a bloodbath, denying us both the treasure.
In the end it was a 2-1 win to me.
- Austringers ignore LOS and can be hitting you in turn two from 20 inches away if they want.
- If you're playing the Gencon version of treasure hunt, where you can't pick up the treasure in turn 1, then expect a pitched battle. I debate if using fast moving units like night terrors or canine remains is worth it. The ensuing brawl in the middle for the treasure needs some heavy hitters and your fast moving units are best left at home.
- Desperate Mercs can be more than a three turn wonder. In our game the merc was bolstered by two soulstones to keep him in the game and make him significant. This was used very effectively as I'd completely ignored the merc, believing it would die, instead it ran clear into my deployment zone to deny me holdout.
Tournament Roundup
So in the end two small wins and two quite large losses. Even so it was enough to place me 16th, so I accomplished my goal of not coming last.
It was a fantastic event and I'm really happy I attended. That said, day 2 was looming and with it my first brawl and two bigger games. How I did there will be the subject of my next post.

(AntriaBio) pursuant to which we granted an exclusive global license to AntriaBio to develop and commercialize XOMA 358 (X358) for all indications. The Company and AntriaBio also entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement and, together with the License Agreement, the Transaction Documents).
Under the terms of the License Agreement, AntriaBio is responsible for all development, regulatory, manufacturing and commercialization activities associated with X358 and is required to make certain clinical, regulatory and annual net sales milestone payments to us of up to $222 million in the aggregate based on the achievement of pre-specified criteria. AntriaBio is also obligated to pay XOMA royalties ranging from the high single digits to the mid-teens based upon annual net sales of X358. Finally, under the terms of the License Agreement, AntriaBio is required to pay XOMA a low single digit royalty on sales of AntriaBios other products from its current programs. AntriaBio is obligated to take customary steps to advance X358, including using diligent efforts to commence the next clinical study for X358 by a certain deadline and to meet certain spending requirements on an annual basis for the program until a marketing approval application for X358 is accepted by the FDA.
AntriaBios obligation to pay milestones will continue for so long as AntriaBio is developing or selling products under the License Agreement, subject to the maximum milestone payment amounts set forth above.

ROBERT CURGENVEN + LEE PATTERSON, Cambridge, Unitarian Church, 23/9
Bad Timing presents a night of sonic physicalities
(Recorded Fields, Tapeworm, LINE, Touch)
Robert Curgenven's work spans immersive resonances via turntables and custom-made vinyl, instrumental harmonics and guitar feedback, through to carefully detailed field recordings from remote areas where he lived for many years. Drawing on the physicality of sound - and not just the physical impact on the body but the way in which the auditory can shape our perception of space and the flow of time. The Wire surmises that "behind the music—to these ears at any rate—lurk such [disparate] presences as Alvin Lucier, King Tubby, Murray Schafer and Eliane Radigue."
'Curgenven, originally a classically trained organist, has moved from the vast deserts of Australia to the pocket handkerchief landscapes of Cornwall, bringing with him a sense of great space. He combines ambiguous pipe organ drones with the dusty crackle of old acetates to create an epic beauty' The Wire
(Compost and Height)
Lee Patterson is an acclaimed sound artist and improviser based in Manchester, using small objects to create live music and pushing the boundaries of field recording.
Using unconventional approaches, he has invented new methods for producing music from everyday objects and amplified devices, as well as original processes for live sound generation. A regular collaborator with artist and filmmaker Luke Fowler, Patterson is part of a network of artists working between sonic and visual arts. Recently his work has been heard at Tate Modern, the Barbican, AV Festival 10 in Newcastle/Gateshead as well as Cafe Oto and Dorkbot Anglia. He has also collaborated with the likes of Rhodri Davies, Jez Riley French, Adam Bohman and Benedict Drew.
His live shows often include burning peanuts, popping candy, wild american pond weed, ditches, insects, streams and chalk — just some of the spaces, objects and creatures which Lee uses to produce sound. Using contact microphones, hydrophones and amplifiers unexpected noises of lakes sound like tropical rain rainforests and deep sonic echoes from zinc springs and dissolving sedimentary rocks.
(Hollow Mountain)
Recently relocated to Poland and returning to Bad Timing to complete this bill, K. Novotny is probably best known as part of Hollow Mountain, who recently played at Wysing's Space-Time festival.

On 13 June, leaders of national, state and territory organisations are meeting in Melbourne to support a national campaign to end the scourge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children's over-representation in child protection systems throughout this country.
The genesis for the national campaign can be tracked back to a workshop held in November last year that was attended by twenty-two Indigenous and non-Indigenous organisations from across Australia. Since then, a National Coordinating Group has been working on refining the campaign and, to this end, engaged Essential Media Communications to undertake research on public understanding and attitudes to inform the development of the campaign and its strategies.
I was pleased to attend the November workshop and am equally pleased to be representing PeakCare and our member agencies at the National Partners Workshop this month. It is indeed exciting that much of the impetus for the national campaign has been drawn from, and able to build on, the achievements of Queensland's own Combined Voices Campaign. Commenced in 2009, the Combined Voices Campaign has been instrumental in, amongst other things:
As a proud supporter of the Combined Voices Campaign, PeakCare welcomes and is looking forward to the expanded and complementary roles that can potentially be played by the Queensland and national campaigns including, in particular, the broadening of their focus in engaging wider-spread public and community engagement in advocating for change.
Now is the time for a national campaign!
In the midst of national attention again being drawn to child protection policy debates in the Northern Territory, Tony Abbott, Leader of the Opposition, has stated, "Until the first Australians can fully participate in the life of our country, we are diminished as a nation and as a people". In a recent Courier Mail article authored by Mr Abbott, he quotes former Prime Minister Paul Keating who, more than two decades ago, said that chronic disadvantage constitutes a stain on our nation's soul.
In 2004 at the time of the Crime and Misconduct Commission's Inquiry, alarm was expressed about the fact that almost 25% of children under child protection orders were Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. Less than ten years later and in the midst of another child protection inquiry, that figure is now closer to 40%.
If Tony Abbott's promise of a "new engagement with Aboriginal people" is to be kept, we cannot continue down pathways that we know are failing. If the National Apology delivered by former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is to remain viewed as a sincere expression of this country's sorrow and regret and not cynically relegated by history to the status of empty rhetoric, fundamental and far-reaching change is needed.
Now more than ever is the time for a national campaign to end over-representation! Now is the time for all PeakCare members to step up, support the campaign and play your part!
Mr Abbott appears to be heading in the right direction when he states that the federal government must work cooperatively with states and territories to offer Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities "a different, less prescriptive type of governance structure". In taking Mr Abbott at his word, now is the time for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders to define not only the governance structures they need, but also the types of services they require and the best means for their delivery. Now is the time for both government and non-government organisations to listen more closely, to abandon superficial and half-baked understandings of key concepts such as 'cultural competence', 'self-determination' and 'partnership' interpreted through a non-Indigenous lens. Now is the time for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders to define and assert exactly what these terms mean and for government and non-government organisations to respond accordingly.
This won't be easy!

Executive Director, PeakCare

Australia risks becoming a "branch office" economy unless the federal government spends an extra A$2.6 billion (Pounds 1 billion) over the next five years to encourage innovation, according to a report released last week.
Innovation - Unlocking the Future was compiled by a working group set up after last February's National Innovation Summit. It calls for the Australian Research Council's funding to be doubled to A$240 million, an extra A$500 million to strengthen research infrastructure in universities and other research organisations, and greater remuneration for researchers.
The report says Australia needs to develop a stronger culture of innovation for generating and exploiting new ideas to keep the nation prosperous.
Its 24 recommendations include: a proposal to improve incentives for business to undertake research and development through tax incentives of up to 200 per cent; a bigger push to commercialise publicly funded research schemes; incentives and rewards for "innovation champions"; and a programme of innovation and enterprise scholarships to be introduced in schools.
David Miles, chairman of the committee that prepared the report, said Australia's prosperity depended on the creation of a solid, sustainable research and development base from which ideas could grow.
Mr Miles said Australia would fall behind other countries unless the government acted quickly. "The consequences are quite simple: if we don't make this investment, we become a branch-office economy. But, with the right added incentives to business, Australia has so many positives, people will flock back here."
Innovation would thrive in a culture that was not afraid of risk-taking, he said, and in a culture that promoted the value of experimentation and rewarded enterprise. He urged the government to adopt the 24 recommendations as a package and not "pick off bits and pieces".
The Australian Vice-Chancellors' Committee and other science and industry groups applauded the report. AVCC president Ian Chubb said the report's particular strength was the commitment it demonstrated among senior representatives of industry, government, research and education.
"Greater public and business- sector awareness of innovation, improved conditions for commercialisation of ideas within research bodies, more government investment in research infrastructure and incentives for staff are eminently sensible recommendations," Professor Chubb said.
The Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering and the Australian Academy of Science also strongly endorsed the report's recommendations. "We are convinced that these recommendations provide the commonwealth and state governments, universities and industry with a way forward," the two academies said.
Although federal industry minister Nick Minchin described the report as extremely important and one that "looked to the 21st century", he made it clear that the chances of a A$2.6 billion injection of funding were slim.
"Policies and programmes are needed to sustain economic growth and Australian living standards," the senator said. "Many of the things in this report are going to be fundamental to that. But the government's response will be one based on our budgetary capacity and the competing demands for government's obviously limited resources."
The federal Labour opposition said the report was a damning indictment of the government. Its industry spokesman, Bob McMullen, said the report highlighted the damage the Howard government had done to Australian science and innovation.

why is dis dead?
its a bit quiet
How are you doing on GTA IV?
i havent played it much
iv been out all weekend.just got a date with french tom.your miles past that arent you :(
I'm not that much further on
but the past weekend I did one totally awesome mission, but I'm not going to spoil it. It reminded me a lot of one film in particular.
I've unlocked the 3rd island, but I haven't travelled to it yet!
i think im 22% into it
is the mission like heat?! THAT scene
3rd island? Fuck.
I've only just started working for that bloke on the fancy estate. Got to chase down some guy who trying to boff his daughter. I crashed my bike and lost him. :(
i kept crashing my bike on that one
just stay with him dont try and take him down cos you cant
hmm.. I must say my volley of uzi
bullets failed to do anything. Do I have to use the bike? I'm so shit on them.
Aaah, just keep track of him
then once he stops- kill him to bits!
How are you two finding the cover system? I find it works best when used in conjuction with the 'free aim'.
I'll give it another try tomorrow.
He's so getting the ever-loving crap beaten out of him when I catch him!
Only used to the cover system a few times, only noticed it when I was helping Little Jacob kill some people in this house. Found it useful in multiplayer: me, hiding behind some packing crates, gun over the top, mowing people down. :D
I got on the bke in that mission and then got into a car.
Then you can ram him.
^ just past that point
have done a wicked Sniper mission, and an awesome failed drugs bust mission involving fighting through two apartment blocks with a shotgun before evading 3 stars of police
the game's actually starting to get interesting though motherfuck I want to kill Brucie
Brucie speaking makes my face hurt
doing the race with him is quite funny though, I just shot out the tyres of the opposition.
When I did it
my car overtook them on the starting line, and I never saw them again
No contest :(
I am stuck on a sniper mission ontop of a massive building
and then have to kill unon leaders. Bloody tricky that one.
cant.do.it :(
yeah its so difficult
tell us how to do it :D
From memory:
Take out the 3 sentries with a sniper rifle... I think when they fall down they might drop an AK-47, if not I'm sure there's one lying around. I remember using that a lot on this mission.
I just went after each boss one at a time, usually hiding behind cover and popping out to shoot the guys coming after you.
At the end one of the last bosses tried to run away, but I ran after him and shot him using the zoom function on the AK47.
thank you :D
how many bosses are there?i hate being at work when i want to play gta :( i stil havent done all of brucies missions yet.i started one yesterday where i had to chase a train but i lost the train :(
3 I think
the first two are easy enough, you can zoom on the assualt rifle and splat em from a distance. Do you use free aim much?
not really
is it easier?
that drugs bust in the apartment block is fucking hard. i can't get away from three stars and often end up gaining another star and then getting shot in the face :(
brucie is easily the best character in the game.
Picking up the shotgun on the way in
made the actual shooting bit a lot easier - as did barely scraping to the roof with red flashing health and finding a health pack on the floor! The cover system is really awesome though there's a lot to be said for moving/shooting/rolling as well.
Escaping two stars is a snooze. Three was refreshingly challenging. Think I initially took the motorbike from right outside (and proceeded to bounce off a kerb into a van, ouch). Shot out the officers of a nearby police car, dove in, sped off an escaped in that. The police cars have pretty much the best combination of speed/control I've found so far I think
That took me ages
I kept on getting shot on the stairs. The trick is just to clear out room by room, and not worry about Playbox getting mullered.
i joined yesterday
i have a habit of making people walk the other way.
i had a shower this morning
and it left me feeling clammy. boo.
you will never leave...
that sounds a little
like a threat...
at a guess.

The Importance Of Annual HVAC Service
All manufacturers of HVAC systems recommend that the unit be inspected and serviced at least once a year. Even though this recommendation appears in the owner's manual there are many homeowners who either neglect to do it or simply forget about it. When you do not arrange for a Chicago HVAC company to come in and perform an annual service your energy bills will probably increase and you do put your health and the health of your family at risk. A licensed HVAC technician has the skills and the tools to ensure that your unit is working as it should and it is running efficiently.
If your furnace burns fossil fuel; oil or gas, there is a real possibility of carbon monoxide escaping into the home if the system is not well maintained. Even the smallest leaks can be hazardous; this hazard can be eliminated with an annual HVAC checkup and service.
One of the biggest advantages to calling in a Chicago HVAC company annually is that it will operate at maximum efficiency. Everyone with a gas or oil fired furnace knows exactly just how expensive fuel is. When your system runs at peak performance you will keep your energy costs as low as possible. Professional HVAC technicians can balance and adjust your system to ensure that it operates at peak efficiency and tune the system up to use the minimum amount of fuel which of course means lower fuel bills.
Annual service and preventative maintenance go hand in hand. It is a good idea to arrange for a Chicago HVAC company to perform the work on your unit before the winter sets in; this will ensure that your furnace will work well when it is needed most. During the annual service the technician will go through all the components, in the event he should notice a potential problem he can suggest a solution before it actually fails, if the system requires new parts or parts need repair this is the time to have the work done. This is one of the hidden benefits of annual service; your furnace will not fail unexpected in the dead of winter.
There are real benefits to having an annual inspection on your HVAC system. You will save on the cost of energy, you will be sure that your system will run perfectly when called upon and it will perform safely and at the highest possible efficiency.
If you are looking for a Chicago HVAC company that offers new systems as well as maintenance and service on existing equipment you are invited to contact Heatmasters, serving Chicagoland since 1950.

L'Occitane Divine Collection DEBUNKED!
L'Occitane's Deceptive Marketing Acumen
After debunking L'Occitane Immortelle Precious Cream in my previous Hub, I'm back with debunking L'Occitane's Immortelle Divine Collection. L'Occitane puts pressure on their salespersons to sell their Divine Range of products first. I've had the same experience. When I visited the L'Occitane store in South City Mall in Kolkata, the salesperson did not even ask me about my preference and started talking incessantly about the Immortelle Precious Serum, The Divine Range etc and then went a bit ahead into force selling tactics. Well, I'm quite sure you've had the same experience too if you've ever visited any L'Occitane store. In this Hub I will bring out the truth about L'Occitane Immortelle Divine Collection. It will be kind of you if you can share this information with your family, friends, colleagues so that nobody else makes such expensive mistake and end up paying a great amount for treating the damaged skin.
Now lets get into the topic
Paula's choice said:
"The only thing divine about this product is the price (at least from the company's point of view), and that's assuming that divinity is correlated somehow with a high price tag. Labeling this product as "complete regenerating skin care" is so far off the mark you can't even see the target. More to the point, if this is a "complete regenerating" product, then what are all of the other Immortelle products for? Is this their best option for being "immortelle"? Also, because it doesn't contain sunscreen, it assuredly is not a complete option for daytime!
Although this moisturizer has its share of impressive beneficial ingredients, the amount of synthetic and natural fragrance ingredients is cause for concern because they are irritants, as are some of the plant extracts and the myrtle oil. According to the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database, myrtle oil used topically can cause "bronchial spasm, asthma-like attacks, or respiratory failure in infants and children." Granted, this isn't a product for kids, but why bother including such a problematic, unimpressive ingredient that doesn't have any research showing it has any benefit for skin? The jar packaging issue isn't even worth going into detail about because this is just a really bad, overly expensive product."
A current employee of L'Occitane wrote a review on Glassdoor's website:
"Overbearing leadership You only exist to sell a single product line (Divine) No regard for what skin care is actually beneficial to the customer. Just sell Divine creams! Expectation to harass customers Out of touch and very 80s approach to sales. Modern shoppers generally want to be left alone and will ask for help if needed Constant Role Playing."[i] (sic)
L'Occitane USA's website claims:
"These advanced formulas combine the organic Immortelle essential oil rich in active molecules that deliver unique anti-aging beauty results with a complex of plant derived active ingredients. This powerful combination helps to fight visible signs of aging, giving skin the youthful, radiant glow you've always wanted."[ii]
L'Occitane India's website claims:
"The new, advanced formulas combine the unique anti-aging properties of everlasting Immortelle flowers with the boosted effectiveness of 7 plant-derived active ingredients. The powerful combination helps to fight signs of aging better than ever before, giving skin the youthful, radiant glow you've always wanted."[iii]
Let's dive in a bit to discover the depth of L'Occitane's deceptive marketing acumen. The claim made by the said company on their Immortelle Divine Collection is absolutely false and has been designed to deceive the general public.

Ingredient Concern
EWG Score
Retinyl Palmitate
Known human reproductive toxicant. Produces excess reactive oxygen species that can interfere with cellular signaling, cause mutations, lead to cell death and may be implicated in cardiovascular disease.[vii]
Known human immune system toxicant or allergen. Possible human respiratory toxicant. Wildlife and environmental toxicity.[vii]
Benzyl Salicylate
Known human immune system toxicant or allergen. Associated with endocrine disruption. Suspected to be an environmental toxin.[ix]
Known human immune system toxicant or allergen. Suspected to be an environmental toxin.[x]
Known human immune system toxicant or allergen. Classified as irritant (skin, eyes or lungs).[xi]
Retinyl Palmitate
Retinyl Palmitate produces excess reactive oxygen species that interferes with cellular signalling, causes mutations, leads to cell deaths and it may be implicated in cardiovascular diseases.
Retinyl Palmitate converts to retinol in the skin. Retinol, along with tretinoin, can cause severe skin reactions like peeling, redness, scaling, itching and burning. Products that contain this ingredient (prescribed or OTC) can cause some irritation upon use but irritations should decrease after approximately two weeks of continued application. It also causes thinning of the skin therefore should never be used during/after hair waxing. Since retinol increases the risk of extreme sunburn, one should be cautious as to prevent skin from being overexposed to ultraviolet light.
The FDA scientists have concluded that retinyl palmitate breaks down sunlight to photomutagenic compounds which form free radicals in the presence of UVA and UVB radiation.[xvi]
Scientists say that Vitamin A can stimulate excessive skin growth (hyperplasia) and in sunlight retinyl palmitate can form free radicals which can damage DNA.
Too much pre-formed vitamin A (retinol, retinyl palmitate, retinyl acetate and retinyl linoleate) can cause a multitude of health problems such as liver damage, brittle nails, hair loss, osteoporosis, hip fractures. Too much vitamin A can cause skeletal abnormalities in a developing foetus. For the reason mentioned herein, Norwegian health authorities have cautioned breastfeeding or pregnant women to avoid products with vitamin A. Children can also suffer many ill health effects due to excessive vitamin A in food and cosmetics.[xvii]
Please watch the following video where Tom talks about the research reports released by authorities like The Food and Drug Administration, National Toxicology Program (and many others) on the hazardous effects of Retinyl Palmitate.[xviii]
Retinyl Palmitate | Expert's Review
Fragrance | Parfum
The terms 'fragrance' and 'parfum' on cosmetic ingredients actually represents a mixture of dozens of chemicals. Around 3,000 chemicals are used as fragrances and many of these unlisted ingredients are irritants that can trigger allergies, migraines and asthma symptoms. Any individual might run a risk of skin irritation or runny eyes and nose on exposure to these chemicals. Laboratory experiments have shown that individual fragrance ingredients are associated with cancer and neurotoxicity. DEP or diethyl phthalate are used in cosmetic fragrances to make the scent linger. Phthalates are especially chosen because they are cheap and versatile. The European Commission on Endocrine Disruption has listed DEP as Category 1 priority substance with the evidence that it interferes with hormone function. Phthalates cause early puberty in girls, reduced sperm count in men and reproductive defects in the developing male foetus (if the mother is exposed to it during pregnancy).[xix]
In the following video Dr. Gloria Gilbere talks about the harmful effects of fragrance in daily lives.[xx]

Benzyl Salicylate
Mostly used as a fragrance additive and sometimes as an ultra violet light absorber. It has been found that this ingredient causes skin irritation. The International Fragrance Association has restricted its use in fragrance products because it has potential effects of sensitization and can cause allergic reactions. In Europe, this substance has been listed under 'allergenic' substances. Even if Benzyl Salicylate is present in a product is in a minute concentration of 0.001%, the European Cosmetics Directive requires OTC leave-on products to indicate its presence.[xxii]

Conclusion | Further Reading
After reading this hub I leave it totally up to you to decide on how misleading L'Occitane's advertisement about their products is. I'm confident that your conclusion will be non-different than mine.
May I please request you to visit:
1. Please visit loccitaneprotest.blogspot.in and read the post 'How L'Occitane Treat Their Customers' wherein I've listed the details on how L'Occitane's salesperson lied to me that their products are '97% Natural and 3% Organic' and then sold to me a hazardous soap, using which I developed rashes on my skin. On complaining to the customer service about the soap, I had to go through a harassment where L'Occitane employees put the blame on my skin and never considered even for once that anything could be wrong with their soap. When I found out the truth through investigation of ingredients that L'Occitane uses to manufacture their products, I started writing about it so that n the future no other consumer should ever go through and experience what I'd experienced with L'Occitane. Although this blogpost's topic is not directly related to the contents of this Hub, I still request you to visit this blog and read how L'Occitane treats their customers after selling hazardous products to them.
2. My previous Hub 'Debunking L'Occitane Immortelle Precious Cream, where I've written about the Immortelle Flower and experts' negative reviews on the said product. The Immortelle Flower has a natural adaptation where it does not wither even after being picked. L'Occitane wants customers to think that the oil of the Immortelle Flower can transfer this natural adaptation of the flower on to the human skin. Scientific literature does not approve of what L'Occitane is promoting via deceptive marketing.
I would like to thank you for taking out the time to read this Hub. Please feel free to leave a comment below if you would like to say something more on the topic discussed in this Hub.
Take care of your skin.
