On Sunday, July 7th, two men that I knew died.
The first was Ernest Borgnine. Growing up I knew Ernest as the star of the sitcom McHale's Navy or as I sometimes referred to it in my youth: "Gomer Pyle with boats". In my college years, he was etched into my memory for the role of 'Cabbie' in the 1981 cult classic "Escape from New York'. Kids today are more likely to know him as the voice of 'Mermaid Man' in Sponge Bob Square Pants cartoons. The last role I recall seeing him in was the Bruce Willis movie, 'Red' where he played the 'records keeper'. I recall the scene when the records vault opened and the camera panned in. There was Ernest sitting behind the desk. It made me smile as I hadn't seen him in anything for many years and thought he fit the role perfectly. Ernest appeared in over 200 films and TV shows during his career.
The other man that died, I knew more closely. It was one of my neighbors, Robert. Robert and I weren't close friends. We were more the 'wave at each other when getting home from work' friends or the 'stopping to have a quick chat about the weather when mowing the yard' friends. Robert was a pillar of the community, deeply involved in his church and the local jail ministry, and a loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather.
Robert likely had no idea when he awoke on Sunday, ate breakfast and then showered before dressing for church that it would be his last morning. We are told he never felt a thing when he exited the shower and was most likely dead before he made contact with the floor.
Death for Americans is the ultimate taboo subject. No one likes to consider the possibility that any moment on this earth may be their last. There are plenty of songs that remind us we should live like we were dying and that we should live every moment to the fullest. But how do you do that when you are working eight (or more) hours a day five (or more) days a week?
According to the Centers for Disease Control, the final 2009 U.S. death statistics show that there were 2,437,163 deaths with a death rate of 793.8 deaths per 100,000 of population. The average life expectancy was 78.5 years (Robert fell short by 18.5 years). The number one cause of death, 599,413, was heart disease. Cancer followed as a close second.
Answers.com states that 55% of Americans do not have a will, dropping to only 32% for African-Americans. For Robert's family's sake, I hope that is not the case.
The average cost of a funeral is now over $6,000 yet the average family has less than $4,000 in savings. While funeral homes do their best to work within the limits set by families, there are a large number of irrevocable decisions that need to be made in a very short period of time and many of those decisions come with a price tag attached. To offset this issue, funeral homes are now offering 'prepayment plans' that cover everything from the style of casket to the flowers and musical selections.
Ernest had fans around the world. At 95 he had led what many call a 'full life'. Robert's influence was undoubtedly smaller but I also have no doubt that the lives he touched were forever changed just by knowing him.
This blog is not an effort to immortalize either gentleman. For me, they serve as reminders that on one hand, an entire generation of Hollywood stars that I grew up with seems to be passing away at a faster and faster rate. On the other, I'm reminded that I have crossed over the 50 yard line of life and that more and more I need to spend what time I have left doing the things I enjoy… and a little time planning for the inevitable. After all, none of us really knows what second will be our last…. Do we?

I had rented this years ago, like in college, watched 20 minutes of it and declared it garbage, and have barely thought of it since. So when my friend got it for Christmas and wanted to watch it, I thought "Okay, what the hell, I could sit through that." Imagine my surprise to find myself ENTHRALLED FROM BEGINNING TO END.
Here's the deal: This movie tells the story of Caligula, one of the later emperors of the Roman Empire, the one most noted for his sexual depravity. Apparently Gore Vidal had a script for a miniseries that he was having trouble finding funding for. He had the idea of approaching Penthouse Magazine founder Bob Guccione, who agreed on two conditions: that the script be turned into a theatrical sword-and-sandal blowout, to be called "Gore Vidal's Caligula," and that hardcore sex be cut in, to appeal to Penthouse readers. Then the fun began: they roped in big-name actors who were under the impression that they were making a serious film [which it is], but things started to awry between Vidal, the director, Tinto Brass, and Guccione, who had a totally different idea of what the film should be. It's a long story [which you can read about on Wiki here], but basically, after principal photography was done, Guccione fired Brass and edited the film himself, including hardcore porn stuff he had shot himself. In the end Vidal sued to have his name taken off the production [he'd already been scarred by Myra Breckenridge], and McDowell, O'Toole and Geilgud expressing regret at ever appearing in the film. Then it faced all sorts of difficulties on release, was released in several different editions, and is now legendary, both for being a bad movie, and for being that sleazy movie with lots of sex and all sorts of perversion that you rent when you're too afraid to get actual porn.
Now, my very first job in New York City was writing copy for Penthouse Magazine—but boring B2B ads, not exciting porn copy—and I have met Bob Guccione, several Penthouse Pets, and been in the Guccione mansion, which I was pretty excited about, as I could from then on say that I have been in a true PORN PALACE. Anyway, one of the original ideas of the magazine in terms of the articles [do I HAVE to make a joke about only reading for the articles?] was that since this is a porn magazine, and was outside of the scope of respectable journalism, it was free of the shackles of those respectable articles; it could talk about anything, take any angle, and not have to edit itself at all. So that's pretty exciting, and I suspect that this movie came from the same place—the story already includes a lot of sex, and to include all that sex, making the film disreputable porn, means that it can go in any direction, explore any topic, without having to tiptoe around it. And the result is a movie that maintains an excitement throughout, because we are acutely aware that ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
So we begin with a title telling us it's Pagan Rome, 37-41 AD. We see Caligula and his sister Drusilla cavorting [one of those scenes that occurred later in the movie, but Guccione threw it at the beginning when he edited]. He is called to see Tiberius, the current ruler and Caligua's adoptive grandfather, played by Peter O'Toole. He's all pale and his face has bloody sores, seriously such a horrifying figure I was really hoping he would die sooner than later, because his presence made me so uncomfortable. He forces Caligula to "do your dance, boy" which Caligula resists. Tiberius makes him do it, and it's this highly-stylized military thing that you can tell he's been doing since he was five and finds horribly humiliating. However, we see the first glimmers of Caligula's character when he snaps into this almost psychotic wide-eyed smile, seems to turn his mind off, and throws himself into his performance with maniacal glee.
In here we also find [through remarkably blunt dialogue] that Gemellus is Tiberius' real grandson by blood, and if he had his way Gemellus, not Caligula, would be his heir. Caligula obviously can't stand the boy, this annoyingly meek and pale thing, but affects everlasting affection. We also catch a glimpse of Claudius, this mincing queen with a hairdo that looks like one layer of a wedding cake, and John Giulgud as Nerva, Tiberius' advisor. He takes Caligula on a tour of this huge set, starting with a guard who looks like he's been drinking. He orders that the man be forced to drink, which they do by pouring a jug of wine down his throat [after tying a wire to his genitals, leading to an uncomfortable moment in which I thought he was going to be castrated]. Then we see all this crazy sex going on—including several shots obviously shot by Guccione and cut in—that features many a chick with dick and even some mutants. Then he comes back and disembowels the guard, causing all of the wine to pour out of his belly. Already we the audience are off-kilter, as not only is it difficult to understand what's going on and who all these characters are, but the whole alien world of Ancient Rome, which results in the pleasant moviewatching experience of truly having no idea what you're going to see next.
Knowing that Tiberius is going to die soon, Giulgud kills himself rather than exist under the rule of "that snake" Caligula. He has a long [and good] speech as he dies, and then Caligula annoys him during his final moments with questions about what it's like to die. Can you imagine someone you despise plunking themselves down and annoying the shit out of you as you're trying to die in peace?
In here we've already met the handsome Macro, whose wife Enya [not the singer] is fooling around with Caligula. Tiberius gives Caligula a speech about how awful life is when you know that someone, probably those closest to you [i.e. Caligula] are trying to poison you, and how Caligula will face this fate one day. Tiberius then dies, and after a few tests to make sure, Caligula takes the ring conferring his Emperorhood and struts around with it for a bit. But wait—Tiberius is still alive! Caligula has had enough, and he's about to kill Tiberius [with a hand mirror?] when Macro stops him—and finishes Tiberius himself. Isn't life nice when you have people to do the killing for you? With Tiberius dead, Caligula is now the Emperor.
In his first appearance as Emperor, he grants a general amnesty and orders money distributed to every member of the public in order to win popular affection—not too different from our current president's tax cuts, which gave a $300 check to every taxpayer in the country. He makes a huge show of his affection for Gemellus, and pretty much officially marries his sister. This scene is important because we see that Caligula treats the ceremonies of leadership as a huge joke to be theatrically gone through [foreshadowed by his earlier dance], and that he understands the importance of a theatrical public gesture, like his exaggerated hug of Gemellus. He knows that the public will see the hug of this person and remember this gesture more than anything else—not unlike when the president gets a few black kids to stand behind him and smile while he's signing some legislation that severely cuts funding to education.
Starting to worry that Macro is trying to get control of him the way [we are told] he controlled Tiberius, he forces Gemellus to identify him as the man who killed Tiberius, and sends him to be executed. Then Drusilla tells him that he needs to find someone to serve as a proper wife, and that "The Sisters of Isis are meeting at my house tonight" [I love the way it sounds like they're coming over for some Tupperware party or something] and he should choose a wife there. He goes, and picks Helen Mirren as Caesonia, Drusilla's last choice. She warns him that Caesonia is a slut whore [in so many words] and is constantly in debt, but Caligula wants her anyway, in part to pique Drusilla. We can see how he is turning on and beginning to distrust those closest to him, as Tiberius said he would, but Caligula is too gleefully evil about it to show much public concern—apparent in a scene where he tries to hit Macro's head with tossed fruit as he's in the path of a giant head-mower [you'll see].
Then there's a famous scene in which he fucks a virgin bride on her wedding night, in front of the groom, natch, then fists the groom [apparently he also fucked the groom in the original screenplay, but after some negative feedback all but the tiniest mentions of Caligula's homosexuality have been deleted], cuts off his cock, and feeds it to some dogs. Yes, you do see close-ups of the severed cock and see the dogs eating it.
There's a long sex scene with Caligula that is intercut with a lesbian tryst happening in the next room. This is the scene in which it is most painfully obvious that this footage had nothing to do with the original film, and was inserted later. Please do not fail to note how one of the woman's long orgasm is accompanied by an extended burst of rolling thunder—it is SO Penthouse Video.
Then there's this whole amazing scene in which Caligula arrests Gemellus while these many plates spin on rods in the background. Then Caesaria gives birth in public in this strange ritual, and Caligula officially takes her as his wife, declares his new-born son his heir, and strips Drusilla of the honor. Drusilla informs him that his new child is a girl, but no matter—Caligula publicly declares her to be a boy.
Drusilla gets sick and dies. It's here that the incomprehensible editing of this thing starts to become a problem, as I was sure that it was Caligula himself who poisoned her and was just pretending to be all grieving—and the thing is, the movie supports both views. After she dies, Caligula upbraids the Goddess Isis for not listening to him ["I BEGGED you!"], and has a little necro action and a last, crazy dance with her dead body. Historically, Caligula killed Drusilla by performing an amateur Caesarian on her—a fascinating-sounding scene I would have loved to see, but alas, no.
Then for some reason that will remain forever unknown to the audience, Caligula goes into town disguised as a commoner. He sees this whole show that mocks him and his wife, throws a fit, and gets thrown in jail. I was fascinated with the idea of this emperor who gets thrown into a common jail, where no one would believe who he is, or think he was crazy if he told them. Unfortunately this is not explored, he just shows up back in his palace one day.
After forcing all of the senator's wives to be whores, [which, in the Penthouse footage we see, they just LOOOVE], he builds this huge boat [the largest set built to that day] and proceeds to "invade Britain." He calls a bunch of reeds across the inlet Britain, orders his troops to chop them down, and once they do he claims to have conquered Britain. This is immediately followed by the line "Be careful, he's in a strange mood tonight," which made me laugh for its ludicrous understatement. Anyway, his guards have been planning to kill him, and kill him they do, and Ceasaria, and his little girl. They crown Claudius emperor, we hear the same Mahler music used to such deft effect in The Honeymoon Killers, and we're out!
I fucking LOVED IT. It's so rare to be watching a movie where you truly have no idea what you're going to see or where it's going to go next. That, with the completely alien world the movie takes place in—stranger than a great many science-fiction worlds—and it must be said, the bizarre and inept editing, combine to keep the viewer off-kilter and watching with keen interest for the duration of the film. The inclusion of the pornography allows the film to go in any direction it wants, as well as serving the invaluable function of livening things up where it might otherwise become boring. So, leaving the question of whether this film is GOOD aside, I think this is totally essential cinema simply because it bravely follows its own vision and you will never, ever see another film like it.
Aside from that, I found the story absolutely fascinating. The whole idea of this young, psychologically bankrupt little terror suddenly holding the most powerful position of the most powerful empire on Earth… You know how someone like Verizon screws up your internet service and you have to talk to three representatives, all of whom are giving you a totally different story from the others, and then they tell you that they're NOT going to have to send someone to your apartment, and then a guy calls from your apartment wondering why there's no one to let him in [all this actually happened, btw]… imagine if you could have them all executed? Or better yet, forced to become whores? Or you could wipe the entire company off the face of the Earth? And all this power and influence was put into the hands of a sociopath? In some ways, this exploration of what it's like for a young, unformed person to come into great power and privilege is what Marie Antoinette tried to be about and failed.
And as he is conceived of in this film, Caligula is a fascinating character. I was totally engrossed in his conception of public and political appearances as theater, to be gone through with grand gestures that have almost nothing to do with one's true thoughts. And then there's the whole psychological interest of this milieu in which you want to kill the person ahead of you to claim their spot, which eventually leads to you descending into paranoia about all the underlings trying to kill YOU. Read the story of Caligula here.
McDowell is perfect for the role, as he so perfectly expresses a frightening steak of sociopathology with his too intense eyes and sweet voice tinged with contempt. Similar to his work in A Clockwork Orange, he seems coiled with anarchistic hatred for everything and everybody, only here it's tempered with a childish vulnerability and lack of interest in the consequences of his actions on other people. Mirren, Guilgud and O'Toole are also perfectly cast to take advantage of their natural aspects. Mirren's role takes advantage of that manipulative, hungry look she can have when she wants to, Guilgud's role takes advantage of his wiser-than-thou air, and O'Toole's Tiberius calls on his overarching air of giving in to depravity because the world is such an overall piss-pot.
Also on the disc is a making-of documentary entitled: "A Documentary on the making of Gore Vidal's Caligula," which was made, one suspects, before the release, as it contains interviews with Vidal, who is still behind the project, and the original title, before he took his name off it. One can imagine what a bummer it must have been for him to have something he obviously worked so hard on and might have been a real feather in his cap taken from him and turned into a national disgrace.
The doc supplies some real gems for lover of pomposity, from the narrator darkly intoning about how "the controversy [about the film] continues to this day…" uh, but isn't it true that the film hadn't even been released at that point? So how long did this controversy really continue? Then there's an unintentionally funny bit in which Guccione answers the question of why they chose to film in Rome with a long-winded discourse on how Rome is where it all happened and all the artisans that live there, finally saying that there was an art director he particularly wanted and "He's a strange guy. It's VERY hard to get him out of Rome." So is that our answer then? We also have footage of Vidal wandering around Roman ruins, unconvincingly attempting to appear as though he's contemplating the rise and fall of empires past. There is a scene that was apparently excised from the movie, in which Caligula declares himself king of the Gods. Then the pomposity continues with McDowell interpreting the story as being, in part, about how "It's impossible to destroy the bureaucracy… and I think that's a very relevant point for modern-day audiences," and, not too much later, the narrator comments on the power of the elite, saying "And here the film draws succinct parallels with Western society." SUCCINCT parallels? You mean that the parallels it draws are very precise and brief? Or does someone need a dictionary?
So all in all, not the best film ever made, but one that is such a singular creation, so unlike anything else, one that tells a fascinating and rich story within a loose structure whose very lowness of execution allows it to fly off in directions unexplored in more reputable films—the combination of which can keep you on the edge of your seat. Citizen Kane, whatever. THIS is essential cinema.
Yes, I think you should see this at least once in your life.

My dear friends living in Semenanjung Malaysia,
Who are we to talk about Sarawak's Chief Minister (C.M)?
Pre-election time, suddenly the explosion of allegations in alternative media about C.M.
Why now?Why not make news about him 1, 3 , 5, 10 years ago? Think.
There's a MOTIVE here in the alternative media, that YOU may not know about.
Did he oppress you?
Did he oppress any of the foreigners who demonise him now ?
Did he oppress his own people, 21 ethnic tribes in all?
Do you seriously believe that these foreigners really care about the people of Sarawak?
I doubt it.
If they sincerely do, then why didn't I find any foreigners,not a single one, travelling to and residing in the interiors of Sibu, for example, 3 hours by sampan? What have they done to improve their folks' happiness?
The local folks there are contented, less materialistic and much more grateful than most of us, urbanites.
Many of us, in Sememnanjung, are an ungrateful lot to begin with;
we know so little about the people of Sarawak, yet we demonise the CM as if we really care about Sarawakians. What a joke.
I took that journey in mid-April 2011 with 32 of my friends to meet the peace-loving people in the Longhouses. We played Futsal together, ate together, and we, from Semenanjung, shared our skills to check their health and well-being.
None of them were found to be malnourished.
These lovely folks, The Ibans, Dayaks, Melanau, are so polite and much more civilized in their behaviour and speeches than those "modern" people in alternative media who pretend to 'defend the Sarawakians' but care little.
They are more "civilised" than us who think we are "better", simply because we have TV, Astro, a big house, big car, big money, big business.
So, I know what I am talking about.
Remember folks, The people of Sarawak cast THEIR VOTES in April 2011; and guess what happened?
They CHOSE to have PBB led by C.M.
Doesn't that say a lot about what the peace-loving people of Sarawak think ?
They are not stupid, you know.
Do not underestimate the people of Sarawak.
WE should ALWAYS CHECK THE VALIDITY OF ALLEGATIONS made by Sarawak Report and Radio Free Sarawak which will report as if they are true. Be careful.
Extracted from a Blog (The Unspinners):the following:
....."Lawan balik dan persoal data-data dan document yang keluar di Sarawak Report dan Radio Free Sarawak.
Percayalah bahawa lebih banyak dokumen BOHONG dari yang benar.
Contoh: Jameelah anak Taib Mahmud ada banyak syarikat. Itu memang biasa dalam sebuah syarikat hartanah untuk letak satu hartanah dalam lain2 syarikat. (Tanya lah businessmen –businessmen hartanah; contoh Sunway, YTL, dan lain-lain)
Gambar photosensor yang konon warna hutan Sarawak tidak sehijau hutan Kalimantan. Punyalah PEMBOHONG. Salahguna dan penyelewengan lebih banyak di Indonesia, sepatutnya Indonesia lagi perang dalam peta.
Banyak dokumen boleh dicheck samada ianya bohong atau tidak.
INi kerana modus operandi mereka sama macam kaki PENIPU Raja Petra yang menyiarkan dokumen PALSU seperti dokumen laporan pusrawi kes saiful dan deklarasi bersumpah Dr Osman......"
Taken from:
MY comment:
REMEMBER the modus operandi of the Zionist hands that control the USA and British Governments;
and how- in order to justify their ultimate aim of replacing a nation's government (with a puppet regime)- they have to firstly, convince us, the public.
How? THEY would repeatedly issue FALSE NEWS, FALSE DOCUMENTS, FALSE PICTURES, FALSE STORIES & FALSE WITNESSES about "WEAPONS OF MASSIVE DESTRUCTION" supposedly in Saddam Hussein's hands, that were never found TO THIS DAY? ... They keep issuing lies day in and day out, until we BELIEVED THEIR STORY.
Yes, even Sept. 11 "attack" by ...haha.."Al Qaeda".
It's an inside job, folks! Gotcha. (You may go to AE911Truth.org for more truths )
Sarawak Report is NO DIFFERENT.
Modus operandi- same. PREDICTABLE.
Why did they (USA, UK) ) FALSIFY it all?
Yes, to MAKE THE WORLD/ CITIZENS - you and me- BELIEVE those LIES, and to believe that the ruling government should be removed, AND to be replaced by puppet regime, led by someone THEY groom and choose.
In Malaysia, there's the puppet regime leader wanna-be, in waiting, known to us all, Anwar, who himself confesses to be a good friend of the Neo-Conservative Zionist and Jew, Paul Wolfowitz and gang.
And what are the consequences from the FALSIFICATION AND FABRICATION (of the Iraq and 9-11 stories) ?
a) Unnecessary chaos in the nation, followed by ILLEGAL WAR and invasion of 2 nations, Iraq and Afghanistan, now poorer than ever, in basic infrastructure than they ever were during Saddam's time or Taliban's ;
b) the greedy transfer of OIL and other natural assets of Iraq/ Afghanistan to the pro-Zionist regimes of USA and Britain, via their crony companies, and placement of a PUPPET leader in the government. They cannot have those assets without having a puppet leader in it.
c) Business suffers; livelihoods suffer; jobs suffer; families suffer.Economy destroyed.
You want your country MALAYSIA to be ruled by a puppet leader who would sing to the tune of the Zionists, and give our assets away to them ? Same modus operandi, folks.
Don't be fooled by the "sensational news and reporting" by the Alternative Media that appeared like mushrooms in recent times.
You see, they have a mission. The mission is, to make you and me, the citizens of Malaysia, believe whatever they put in their electronic 'newspaper', so that our minds turn against OUR OWN LEGITIMATE GOVERNMENT.
Yup, THE SAME government that had kept our town in peaceful harmony since Independence, so that our parents, and you and I , and our kids could go to school, get education, get a job, go to work, find business, get rich, and go about our daily lives without feeling the fear of WAR and CHAOS in the city streets.
Some of us have become really really rich, because the government provided the environment for us to build our business and occupation to such great heights.
We will not appreciate our government until the PEACE and HARMONY is taken away from us; then we will regret. By that time, it's too late.
Hey, folks, DON'T BITE the hands that feed you ….and that keep your country in peace!
So do you REALLY WANT to believe those foreigners?
Foreigners who issue "report after report" (superficially believable)...but how many of us would go through every single line and page of their purported "documents" to check their AUTHENCITY??) . Hands up, anyone!
Foreigners and a small number of disgruntled (rich) Sarawakians - a minority (while most Sarawakians are contented and love the peace) tout, high and low with all their stories about The Chief Minister of Sarawak, who, by the way, through his PBB political party, won ALL SEATS which they contested in the democratically run Sarawak State Elections.
Who are we - orang Semenanjung- and also those bigot Foreigners who fund the "Sarawak Report" and "Radio Free Saawak" , to say?
The PEOPLE OF SARAWAK themselves elect PBB to represent them. Every seat contested by PBB was won.
PKR contested 49 seats. They lost 46 !

I now Know that Lydmet Lydney came 7th out of 7 in the Championship/1st and City Of Bristol, did not come in the top 3, so has anyone more info. (all results given above are from my ex-woife and so up for dispute. She plays Sop for Lydney.)

Hi ya Naomi,

Cheers Maid!

Did they sort out who came where in the 2nd section then? It all sounded a wee bit confused...
Hi Dave
I was`nt in the hall for the results but I`ve heard it was a bit farcical at one point, apparently the results as I`ve posted earlier are indeed correct...and besides we`ve got the trophy and we are not giving it back!
Many congrats on your win, is that 2 years in a row now?
Ian Heard.
Soundhouse Brass.
Get on Soundhouse
Well done, especially for beating your rivals Lympstone
Well done to all bands!
It certainly is, thanks! Apologies to all for bringing out the area piece again, but with only two rehearsals to prepare something after the Senior Trophy, it was that or the Trophy piece, which we couldn't bear to do again...
Did the 2nd section Best Instrumentalist prize end up in the right place? If I remember right, the announcements went:
"2nd section:
Best instrumentalist: X player from band that played number Y
<crowd go wild: X collects prize>
and in 3rd place: the band that played number Y, Z Brass
<crowd confusedly wild: members of Z: "We didn't play Y!">
etc... etc... with much comedic slapstick
Congrats on your result, by the way.
Also a good one for Pegasus after a disappointing showing at the area, and also good for Shirley on a tricky piece.
Thanks for that (is your name Steve?) its always nice to beat that "Scratch Band" from up the road
Although we`ve got some catching up to do as up until recently we could never beat them.
Ian Heard
Soundhouse Brass.
Ummm...I think so, I think as far as we know the error(s) was made by the officials and Richard Evans was satisfied that what was eventually announced was correct.
Apparently there were some "Prams" minus a few "dolly`s" in some quarters.....contest success is such a fickle mistress!
Thankyou for your kind words
Best wishes
Ian Heard.
I see, no sign of Rebel Tuba on this thread then! :lol:
Thanks. We were pleased with it.
Matt says hi. He might even find his way on here, to talk to you himself :wink:
Separate names with a comma.

September is Healthy Aging® Month – Time to Celebrate Positive Aging!
Think it's too late to "re-invent" yourself? Think again. According to Carolyn Worthington, editor-in-chief of Healthy Aging® Magazine and executive director of Healthy Aging®, it's never too late to find a new career, a new sport, passion or hobby. Worthington is the creator of September is Healthy Aging® Month, an annual health observance designed to focus national attention on the positive aspects of growing older. Now in its second decade, Worthington says September is Healthy Aging® Month provides inspiration and practical ideas for adults, ages 50-plus, to improve their physical, mental, social and financial well being.
"Use September as the motivation to take stock of where you've been, what you reallywould like to do if money was no object," says Worthington. "And try it! Who says you have to do something related to what you studied in school? Who says, you can't start your own home business later in life, test you're your physical prowess, or do something wildly different from anything you've done before? Only that person you see in the mirror!"
Why Healthy Aging?
According to Worthington, "We saw a need to draw attention to the myths of aging, to shout out 'Hey, it's not too late to take control of your health, it's never too late to get started on something new.' Why not think about the positive aspects of aging instead of the stereotypes and the negative aspects?" She says she chose September as a time when many people think about getting started on new tasks after the summer. Drawing on the "back to school" urge embedded in everyone from childhood, the observance month's activities are designed to encourage people to rejuvenate and get going on positive measures that can impact the areas of physical, social, financial and mental wellness.
September is Healthy Aging® Month was first introduced when the baby boomers were about to turn 50. "At that time, no one wanted to talk about growing older," Worthington says. "You know, it was that same '60's attitude – 'Don't trust anyone over 30; hell no we won't go.' Today as the boomers turn 60 and 65, it's a different story," Worthington explains.
"We recognized early on that careful attention to the combination of physical, social, mental and financial fitness was powerful in the pursuit of a positive lifestyle and have built our Healthy Aging® programs around that concept for the government and private sector through this annual observance as well as TV specials, videos, books, printed material, our website and blogs.
"What's new for the Healthy Aging® campaign this year is the continued growth of our print and digital Healthy Aging® Magazine, now in its fifth issue. We are not about retirement. Nor are we a 'senior' magazine filled with articles about depression, incontinence or organ recitals. We are about vibrant, active, 50-plus people who are taking charge of their lives, following their passion, and who are happily looking forward to what's next in life."
To get you started on re-inventing yourself, here are some ideas from the editors of Healthy Aging® Magazine (www.healthyaging.net). Maybe these will help you think outside the box:
10 Tips for Re-Inventing Yourself During September is Healthy Aging Month:
1. JOB HUNTING? YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO BE AN INTERN. You're never too old to start at the bottom. Many employers now hire only after they've seen the quality of the employee, so an internship is your opportunity to show off your mature skills. Check for college and department websites that offer detailed listings. If you're really lucky, you could end up with a paid internship and, possibly, a full-time job after graduation. See more tips like this from author Kate Forgach in Healthy Aging® Magazine, www.healthyaging.net.
2. BACK TO SCHOOL. It's never too late…Take courses to refocus your career, enhance your skill set and increase your earning power. Finding the balance between work, family and education while pursuing a higher degree may seem overwhelming. Dr. Savitri Dixon-Saxon, associate dean for Walden University's School of Counseling and Social Service, offers this tip:
Choose a focus or specialization that you truly care about. The juggling act will be much more challenging for you if you don't enjoy your field of study. Choose a focus area you are passionate about. You can pursue a degree online. Walden University is one example.
3. TAKE A VOLUNTEER VACATION. Visit New Places, Connect, and Give Back. Many travelers today are opting out of the self-indulgent vacation and opting in for the chance to "give back" through a volunteer vacation. These trips are a great way to try something new, fulfill a dream, or experiment living in a different place, for a short or longer time commitment. Volunteer Vacations Across America, (http://www.immersiontraveler.com/) is a good resource with more than 200 trips for volunteering to help people. More resource ideas and links can be found in the Volunteer Vacation article of the September issue of Healthy Aging® Magazine,www.healthyaging.net.
4. DANCE LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW. Older adults getting regular physical exercise are 60% less likely to get dementia. Exercise increases oxygen to the brain and releases a protein that strengthens cells and neurons. Dance involves all of the above plus the cerebral activity present in learning and memory. Peggy Buchanan, director of fitness, aquatics and physical therapy at Front Porch's Vista del Monte retirement community in Santa Barbara, Calif.
Where to find dance classes? Check out these websites for ideas: National Dance Council of America (http://ndca.org/getting-started-in-dance/), Dance Studios USA(http://www.dancestudiosusa.com/) , National Arts & Disability Center (UCLA) (http://nadc.ucla.edu/dance.cfm)
5. HIT THE ROAD. Travel is one of the top picks when people are asked what they would do if they had more time. Sometimes the money factor makes that dream fall apart. Here are several travel sites for finding good fares and rates: SmarterTravel.com,Travelocity.com, Expedia.com, Priceline.com and Kayak.com. A relatively new one is Jetsetter, http://www.jetsetter.com, "a community of travelers that provides members with insider access, expert knowledge and exclusive deals on the world's greatest vacations. We curate travel experiences, which means we only recommend places we've been, loved and would go to again. Everything else we leave out."
6. BECOME A ROCK N ROLL STAR. For a weekend anyway. Here's a good one for the buck list. Check out Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp (www.RockCamp.com), where mere mortals jam with rock legends, write/record an original song and play live on stage at a major concert venue. Past camps have been held in New York City, Woodstock, and London. This is a great decade gift or corporate event too. The Camp offers a great adventures in Las Vegas for those who are looking for the ultimate rock star experience:
October 10 – 14, 2012 MGM Grand, Las Vegas. Jam with Gene Simmons, from the legendary band, KISS.
7. Learn to paint a landscape or still life. Complete A Landscape, seascape, floral or still life painting in one class. No painting experience necessary. Seek if fine arts peeks you interest. One day classes by Grumbacher, an American manufacturer of art materials for over 100 years, can be found at Michaels, the arts and crafts retailer with locations nationwide. http://www.michaels.com/Fine-Arts-Class-by-Michaels/Fine-Arts-Class,default,pg.html#
8. FOLLOW YOUR PASSION. Try a new sport or pick up on one you left behind in your early days. Check out issue of Healthy Aging Magazine for ideas. What about surfing, hiking or skiing? It's never too late and there are many locations offering courses, trips, and lessons. Here what passionate people have to say about their sports in Healthy Aging® Magazine, www.healthyaging.net
9. EAT FRESH. Make a commitment to add more fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. September is still harvest time in many areas so seek out local farmers markets and buy local produce. Make it a point to try to make foods from scratch… skip the processed foods as much as you can. How much do you need to eat? Check this easy calculator to find out how many fruits and vegetables you need each day, based on your daily calories needs. Details: http://www.fruitsandveggiesmatter.gov/
10. RE-INVENT YOURSELF IN NAPA VALLEY. Travel to the famed wine country this Fall and take a wine tasting course (http://www.ciaprochef.com/winestudies/index.html) or cooking course . http://www.ciachef.edu/california/educational.asp) at The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone, St. Helena, CA.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to note which sending unit post the red wire is on, although I think it works either way. Take the screws out of the clamps that hold the tank to the floor. On my boat, I also took out the black plastic panels that separate the side ski storage from the tank area (2 screws each). The hardest thing to remove for me was the filler hose. I loosened the clamp and then slid the tank forward to give myself a little room. Then just slide the tank out, one end first.
I had to repair my sending unit, so when I had it out I took the tank sump out and cleaned the tank out. I had plastic shavings from when the tank was first put together and a dead field cricket to clean out, but other than that it was clean.
Table Rocker, your the man. Now that's service, an answer in less than 30 min. Thank you!

It's crazy what can be done with photoshop. That pictures are really good, I like them. Would be funny if anybody could do such smoke sculptures in real life, but I guess that wouldn't be able anyhow.
Enhanced by photoshop? Why bother?

Analysis: Economies in Guam, CNMI improving
HONOLULU (AP) — An annual economic forecast for Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands says this year is tracking better than 2012 for both economies.
The forecast released by First Hawaiian Bank says Guam is seeing improved tourism, relatively low inflation and a better job market than last year.
The analysis says CNMI will likely see modest growth in its economy despite uncertainty about how U.S. and territorial lawmakers will approach different challenges, including minimum wages and foreign labor.
The analysis says many people in Guam believe recent developments in the territory show a transfer of 5,000 U.S. Marines from Okinawa, Japan, will happened despite a six-year delay. But Guam lawmakers have told officials in Washington and Japan that the territory needs upgrades to civilian infrastructure.
Tourism is up 5 percent through the first four months of 2013, suggesting visits will top 2012 even though Guam has had to overcome several challenges. The report cited a February stabbing incident in which three Japanese tourists were killed and nine others were injured in a popular resort area.
The report also says Guam tourism has had to contend with nuclear threats from North Korea and a stronger U.S. dollar against the Japanese yen. A preliminary report from the study's author says that as the dollar strengthens to become worth 1 fewer yen, 159 fewer Japanese visitors visit Guam each month. But Dr. Maria Claret M. Ruane, resident development economist at the Pacific Center for Economic Initiatives at the University of Guam, says Japanese visitors tend to plan visits well in advance. That means there could be a one-year lag in any fluctuations.
Ruane prepared the forecasts for the bank.
Strong visitation to the Mariana Islands is expected to help the commonweath's economy recover and modestly grow. Visitor arrivals grew 17.4 percent in 2012 after dropping 10 percent in 2010. And estimates show visitor arrivals up 7 percent in the first three months this year, the study said.

Shared Subjective Experience TheoryIntroduction
Various techniques are employed with varying degrees of success to deal with children and adults suffering the effects of attachment problems. If the following hypothesis is correct, more efficient and meaningful techniques may be employed by identifying key elements that may required for optimal bonding.
The need to apparently share subjective experience is a driving force in human beings. The adverb, "apparently", must be used because we must use objective means to do so. The exclusive privacy of subjective experience is the crux of the matter. If we are deprived of this element, we cannot grow cognitively, emotionally, and psychologically. It is the driving force that has urged us to develop language, to work together with and for each other, and it is the driving force that has developed civilizations. On the level of the individual, it connects us to our caregivers and our caregivers with us. It is the underlying current of our social development and it is why we fall in love.
This may also be an important factor in the process of development. While it may be obvious that attachment is important to the health of the infant or child, it may also be an important factor to facilitate growth throughout the life span.
Deprivation of meaningful shared experience is harmful, not only to human beings, but to various other species as well. Its deprivation can retard growth on a number of dimensions.
The pioneers of work into the study of human attachment was done by John Bowlby and his student, Mary Ainsworth. Much of their work remains valuable and significant to the field. On one important dimension however, Bowlby was, thankfully, mistaken. We now know as a result of modern tachnology, that the adult brain is mallaeable and is not condemned to early attachment patterns as Bowlby had assumed. Bowlby saw that there are optimal times in the growth to secure ideal attachment patterns. While there is nothing wrong with that assertion, Bowlby's further assumption, that once that age or developmental period has passed, then the attachment problem is incorrigble, is incorrect. Jerome Kagan of Harvard University and others had argued against this pessimistic assertion prior to the advantage of brain scans.
Brain scans have led to the discovery that the orbito frontal cortex may change in the adult brain with proper stimuation. This is the region of the brain that governs attachment. This discovery is cause for great optomism and hope for treatment of all humans, no matter what age they are. The earlier assumption confined treatment to young children who, ultimately, had to rely on their caregivers for the dialectical relationship that is neessary for a healthy attachment. If it was true that only one party in the relationship had the opportunity of response to treatment, then the prognosis is poor for both parties.
Basis for the hypothesis
The basis for this hypothesis, that it is the sharing of subjective experience that is the fundamental element that underlies attachment drive and behaviour, requires an examination of the very basis and context of our living experience. It requires us to delve perhaps in a rather philosophical view, but one that appears to on quite solid ground.
Ultimately, we are alone. We are alone in our experience. We may share information and agree that a given square is green. But we can never know how the other experiences the colour green or the shape or the texture of the world we live in. All our perceptions of thoughts, sight, feeling, hearing, taste and smell are private experiences. This reality is a reality that we cannot come to terms with. We fear this reality because it suggests that there is no substance to the self. The experience of the self is based in these perceptions as well as the experience of consciousness and so on. There is no substance to experience and therefore, there is no substance to the self. We spend our lives aiming to cover that reality up and the concommitant impulse is to repress our existential aloneness. Whether the sharing of experience is a means to fortify the illusion of self is correct or not, is not important. What is important is that we are disturbed when we experience ourselves as alone and cut off from the experience of others and if others are cut off from our own experience. Subjective experience cannot be shared and we must use objective stratgies, such as language and communication, work and play activity, or touch, to approximate the experience of the other and to include the other inside our own exclusive experience.
The drive to share experience has very likely been a driving force that has led to the development of complex language. Language assumes an agreement that 'green' means the same to you as it does to me. Whether it is the same or not is not as important as the following; first, that we consistently agree that a particular experience is green and secondly, that this is consistently the case. Language facilitates the objectification of a subjective world.
Through language, we have not only have developed a means of categorizing and naming objects and activities, we have also learned to conceptualize the world in a particular social ordering that has a fixed template in the cultural, social and economic mileau where we are located. The world that we have been born into has an order and a language. What is salient in that world is not up to the individual. It has been forged through generations of a working dialectic between the enviornment and the people adapting themselves to survive in that enviornment. There is also the dialectic betwen the subjective and the objective. The subject not only receives information from the objective world, but is able to pass subjective experience out into the objective world, giving the impression of sharing subjectivity.
We also learn to assimilate the culture and feed our individuality into the culture through play and work. Whether it is through play or work or through language, it is an impulse and a drive that lies beneath our conscious volition. It did not happen as a lucid and thought out plan for survival. Hunter gatherers did not hold a meeting and say that we should develop language or work activitires to better develop as societies and as individuals. There is no doubt that the material world has played a key role in the development of both language and work activity. Humans learned top work and communicate better as a means to survive. But that has limited explaining power. We have developed language and play and work activities that are remote from anything like survival. It seems that we use language for many of the same reasons we play, or work. Not as much as a means of survival as a means to connect with each other.
When we play or work, we share an experience with another human being. If we fashion a spear, we have taken a private mental experience and we have brought it from inside our private world out into the community. And we have learned skills and values from others that allow us to imagine the idea in the first place. As a result, we have made a connection with others. What was a private idea is now validated. Other human beings can see it in an objective context and apprieciate it. As they do so, the subject has the sense that his or her subjective world has been experienced by other human beings.
Whether we work or play alone or with others, we have a drive underneath our activity, a drive to share our mind and the notion that we are sharing our exclusive and hidden world with others.
Work and play with others requires immediate and direct contact with the mind of the other. If we play on a team, we must cooperate with our mates and we must agree on fending against the mind of the opponent. If we are small children playing with toys, we are learning to share the mental world of the other, with what is happening privately. We may not have developed this ability yet, but we are driven to play with others. We do not want to spend too much time alone. Do so will leave us with a feeling of distress.
That then is a short glimpse at the theory of the need for sharing subjective experience on a wider scale. Here we will examine the theory on a more psychological, or individual level.
The infant
The need for sharing sharing of subjective experience may begin moments after birth. Although the baby is not able to conceptualize self from other at that point, the process begins that will forge the basis of that individuals future. At birth, the child may experience a deep sense of rejection. The child is alive in a self contained world inside the womb. She is warm, and feeling satisfied without hunger in a dark liquid world. The seperation between her fingers and the fluid or the walls of the womb must not be aparent. Those tactile sensations may play an important role in her future need to bond. As in sexual union, we can feel both the body of the other and well as our own. There is no subjective seperation from the other unless we intend it.
Before long, the child experiences the distress of being squeezed through a painful passageway and expelled into a cold and loud world of brightness and pain. It is very possible that the trauma and rejecting quality of that experience is significant in the basic need to attach to other human beings.
The baby will cry, not of her own will, but when distress occurs. The body will naturally cry. The sound is also, naturally, odious. Prior to any bonding, the mother of the child will act to stop the crying and to do so, must address the baby's distress. This is the beginning of the process of bonding. In simple terms of behaviour modification, the child learns that it is not the distress alone that fetches a response. It is the crying itself that has power. However, this is a subtle and fine line. Subjectively, the baby learns that there is a human being that is aware of her own private world. Her hunger is satisfied by her mothers actions. Her discomfort and angst will be taken care of because there is a human being that is in union with the pain, the hunger, or the angst.
The child also has natural tactile needs and in the process of feeding, this is naturally tended to. The feeling of the mother's skin may be similar in some ways to the shangrila of the womb. The temperature and the sensation of skin places the proximity of other in a sense of union. The child's sense of body as seperate from what is not body is far from a conceptualized reality but still, it is a reality. And perhaps a primordial reminder of the rejection from the womb. When touch occurs, the distinction between the body of other and the body of the infant is blurred and a sense of union occurs. On some level, the sense of shared subjectivity is beginning. For instance, if we hold the hand of another person, we can feel our own hand and simeltaneously, we can feel the hand of the other person. In a very direct way, doing so is a means of apparently sharing subjectivity and it also blur the line between subjectivity and objectivity. Touch is perhaps the most direct and intimate means we have to share our experience with another and vice versa.
Beyond the pragmatic needs of feeding and cleaning, the caregiver develops compassion for the baby. Compassion is a contageous human perspective and as it had been done for the caregiver, the caregiver develops an increasing sense of compassion for the child as the caregiver repeatedly addresses her plight of needs. It is also likely that there are intrinsic impulses in the caregiver that facilitate a want and a need to care for the infant. Through this genuine love from the caregiver, the child learns about her face, her movements and her body. The infant learns that other humans are not pnly a means to meet needs, but they are in union with the infant.
Research has shown that infants will stare for a longer time at patterns that represent a human face than they will at other patterns. The affinity that human infants have for other humans may be deeper than learned responses. We may be wired from birth to an attraction to humans.
As bonding develops, caregivers will smile and speak to the baby in tones that are naturally attractive to infants. This motherese language comes naturally to caregivers and babys respond naturally. They also will hold their gaze on a mother's face that is smiling and attentive to the baby. Should the mother develop a cold or indifferent attitude, the baby will look away. This locking of mutual attention may also be intrinsic. What it does do is places the baby's mental attention on the nuances and subtlies of facial expression and emotional meaning. The baby learns to take her emotional cues from her caregivers responses.
All these behavioural patterns are leaning in the direction of sharing apparent subjectivity.
If we examine human development theories, and we place the light of this theory on them, we will find that they are illuminated. For instance, if we examine Erik Erikson's theory of development we can easily see that apparent shared subjectivity may explain the reasons why we develop in the ways that we do. We will do so on this site at a later date and we will also set these ideas next to various other onservations made about bonding, development, and human behaviour in general.
The purpose of exploring this theory is to meet the needs of those that suffer from attachment disorders. Treatment is seemingly heading the the right direction. But if we can pinpoint the underlying reasons for attachment disorders by more fully understanding attachment itself, we may develop more precise and effective means of helping those that need it.
With this in mind I encourage and welcome dissenting or supporting opinions.
This page is a beginning and merely an outline of this particular hypothesis. Further pages will be added examing each stage of development and how shared subjectivity plays its role in the human activity and how it helps satisfy the needs of the individual in that stage. Pages will also be added to further explore the sociological relevance of this hypothesis.
Further pages on this site will expand on these themes.

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve Board on Friday relaxed its lending rules to rural banks, a step that could cut loan rates to farmers by up to two percentage points and enable more of them to qualify for federally guaranteed loans in time for spring planting.
"This is a welcome step," said Weldon Barton, executive director of the Independent Bankers Assn. of America, which represents most of the nation's rural banks. "It can assist in many cases."
Sheldon Golub, a spokesman for the American Bankers Assn., added: "The Fed's action is certainly going to be helpful for both the farmer and the banker. It is going to provide additional incentive for bankers" to participate in a federal loan-guarantee program designed to help relieve the worst farm crisis since the Great Depression.
The spokesmen for the two bank groups said it is impossible to estimate how many additional farmers will receive loans as a result of the Fed action. But Barton said it will probably be fewer than the 35,000 that he estimated would have been helped by an emergency debt-relief bill vetoed by President Reagan on Wednesday.

Lea Michele's Major PCAs Braided Updo: Hot Or Not? Vote
The beautiful 'Glee' star debuted an intricate braided updo for the 39th Annual People's Choice Awards at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on January 9, 2013 in Los Angeles, California. What do you think of the look? Vote below!
Lea Michele, 26, took a break from her signature beachy waves and blunt bangs for a complicated braided updo for the red carpet event. The style certainly showed off her exotic beauty, but the look was a little hard to figure out.
Lea Michele's 2013 People's Choice Awards Beauty
A definite departure for the glamorous star, the braided updo put all the focus on her gorgeous brown eyes and olive skin. At last year's People's Choice Awards, Celebrity makeup artist Melanie Inglessis created a fresh, fun look to compliment Lea's bright white Marchesa dress. "A pink lip is a modern twist on the classic red lip and looks beautiful when the rest of the face is natural," said Melanie. She used a vivid bright pink lip as the focal point to her look and kept her the eye makeup smoky yet subtle and accentuating Lea's olive skin with a shimmery bronzer.
Lea has quickly become such a beauty icon. The star recently sighed a deal with iconic beauty brand, L'Oréal Paris. "I've been using L'Oréal my whole life — everything from hair care to beauty," Lea told WWD, "It's just amazing to get to sit here and say everything has led up to this."
It's clear Lea's beauty look just keeps getting better and better every day. And we love that she switches it up often.
HollywoodLifers, do you think Lea's braided updo is hot or not? Sound off below!

Probably my favourite of the films because I used to love it as a child, my version was the ITV version with adverts and a lot of violence cut out. It wasnt until about 15 years later when i got the DVD that i saw the full version.
Favourite line has to be "To much to drink Dr. Jones?"
The Blu-ray is also the first time it has been released uncut in the UK, a lot more dark and violent with a bit more swearing too. This takes the rating from a PG to 12. It's taken nearly 30 years to sorted!

Understanding the Bidding Process
If you are a business that wants to sell your products or services to New York State you need to go through a competitive bidding process to show you either have the lowest price or that your product or service is the best value. Here's some simple things you need to know about the bidding process.
Seven Tips for a Successful Bid
Successful bids include the following elements:
- Participation in activities seeking bidder input like Requests for Information (RFI), Requests for Comment (RFC), and pre-bid conferences.
- Paying close attention to mandatory vs. optional requirements in the solicitation.
- Carefully reviewing specifications, bid packaging, delivery instructions, and the calendar of events.
- Actively looking for solicitation updates and amendments.
- Not waiting until the last minute.
- When in doubt, reaching out directly to designated solicitation contacts.
- Post-bid submission, participating in bidder debriefings.
Evaluating Responsible and Responsive Businesses
To do business with the State you must be able to demonstrate your ability to provide the goods and services before a contract is awarded. You must be responsive to all bid requirements and maintain responsibility throughout the term of the agreement. To make this determination, Procurement Services uses the CLIP review:
Procurement Services considers a responsible and responsive bidder to be a business that has the skill, judgment and integrity, and that is found to be competent, reliable, experienced and qualified financially. A responsive bidder is a bidder whose offer meets the specifications or requirements provided in the bid document or solicitation.
• Pre-bid conferences
• Request for Comment (RFC), Request for Information (RFI), or Request for Quote/Qualifications (RFQ)
• Notice of Intent (NOI) or Invitation/Intent to Bid (ITB)
All of these are different depending on the type of bid and should be explained in the bid notification. Failure to participate in mandatory activities may result in disqualification of your bid.
• Late bids, missing forms, or no price information
• Blank USB drives or CDs
• Failing to follow directions by providing the wrong number of copies, improper labeling or using the wrong version of the bid documents
• Failing to provide the required certification.
• Interviews
• Reference checks
• Product or service demonstrations
• Requests for clarifications
Contract awards are generally made on the basis of lowest price for commodities or best value for services. In situations where none of the bid submissions met their needs, a government entity may also choose not to award a contract.
• Contract negotiations
• Drafting and reviewing the contract
• Completion of various administrative forms
For state agency contracts, you will also need to obtain a vendor ID in order to sign up for receiving payments through the Statewide Financial System (please see below).

The bullying of academics follows a pattern of horrendous, Orwellian elimination rituals, often hidden from the public. Despite the anti-bullying policies (often token), bullying is rife across campuses, and the victims (targets) often pay a heavy price. "Nothing strengthens authority as much as silence." Leonardo da Vinci - "All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men [or good women] do nothing." Edmund Burke
April 15, 2008
Now there's a thought
HR is like many parts of modern businesses: a simple expense, and a burden on the backs of the productive workers ... They don't sell or produce: they consume. They are the amorphous support services." So wrote Luke Johnson recently in the Financial Times. He went on: "Training advisers are employed to distract everyone from doing their job with pointless courses." Mr Johnson is no woolly-minded professor. He is in The Times Power 100 list, he organised the acquisition of PizzaExpress before he turned 30 and now runs Channel 4.
Why has human resources acquired such a bad public image? Like most groups, those in HR are intent on expanding their power and status, hence the name change from personnel. As personnel managers, they were seen as providers of a service and even, heaven forbid, as being on the side of the employees. As HR they become part of the senior management team, and see themselves as managing people.
My concern is the effect that that change is having on science. The problem with HR people managing science is that they have no idea how it works. They think every activity can be run as though it were Wal-Mart. That idea is old fashioned even in management circles. Good employers know that people work best when they are not constantly harassed and when they feel that they are assessed fairly. If the best people don't feel that, they just leave. That is why the culture of managerialism and audit will in the end do harm to any university that embraces it…
The "unrepentant capitalist" Luke Johnson also said in the FT: "I have radically downsized HR in several companies I have run, and business has gone all the better for it." Now there's a thought.

Dundee city council
Caused by the resignation of SNP councillor Craig Melville as a result of a row over alleged racist and Islamophobic texts. He had served since winning a by-election in March 2009.
|Caird Hall, Dundee
Before PR was introduced most of this area was in just two single-member wards: Baxter Park (which was safe SNP) and East Port (an SNP/Labour marginal). With the introduction of PR in 2007 Maryfield became a three-seat ward with two safe seats for the SNP and one for Labour, the SNP winning the first preferences 51-36 at the most recent election in 2012.
With the general swing to the SNP since 2012 and the good Yes performance in Dundee in the referendum, it's hard to see beyond the SNP's Lynne Short for this by-election. Labour's Alan Cowan, a Unison and GMB activist will be hoping for a gain which would cut the SNP majority on the city council to one. Also standing are James Clancy for the Tories, Christopher McIntyre for the Lib Dems, Stuart Fairweather for the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition, Jacob Ellis for the Greens, independent candidate Brian McLeod and UKIP's Calum Walker.
Parliamentary constituencies: Dundee East (part formerly in Baxter Park and East Port wards); Dundee West (part formerly in Stobswell and Tay Bridges wards)
Holyrood constituencies: Dundee City East (most of ward); Dundee City West (city centre)

I took Em along last evening and stopped in at a friend's house. My friend is Teresa Fusco. She is an AMAZING quilter and artist. Her quilts are absolutely breathtaking. I was absolutely fascinated with her use of color, stitching and beading. If I had an ounce of her talent I wouldn't be able to stand myself!
If you have a moment, check out her web page and the gallery of her quilts. Here's one to tempt you!
