Elite Squad Competition, 2009 - RAIDERS Squad[edit]
RAIDERS have been through a lot of roster changes recently. The squad has recently returned from the planet of Praxeus where they took on a local crime lord by the name of the Rain Maker. They needed one of his former employees to shut down a communications relay, but the man - Rask Templar - would not help them unless they found out who had murdered his son.
The Rain Maker was finally aprehended at the weather tower on the far side of the town. He revealed that he had drugged Rask and that Rask had killed his own son. This was too much for the man and he promptly killed himself. Jaenna used the codes to shut down the communications relay and the squad headed back to Tadath.
The squad was rattled by the events on Praxeus, and Hrail before that. They had only a few weeks on Tadath before the attack by Thrawn's troops.
The Mission[edit]
I'm Tellin' Y'all It's Sabotage![edit]
|Raiders will travel to the Sentinel with Iron Horse. Once the boarding parties have landed, Raiders will steal a ship and fly to the Inexorable. There they will start by taking out the shield gens.
—Mission Dossier
I'm Tellin' Y'all It's Sabotage! started when RAIDERS Squad came to the fight with Iron Horse as Thrawn's fleet jumped into the system. RAIDERS, grouped with Iron Horse Squad for a short shuttle ride, lifted off from the surface and aimed for the Rendili Space Drives Orbital Platform, Sentinel. The squads split up after they landed in the platform, making their way to one of the landing craft, Joamer and Jaenna took the reigns of the pilot seats. Bacredi and Grahim took the swivel gunner seats, hopefully being able to destroy any opposition that met them. Their objective then was to head towards a Victory I-Class Star Destroyer inexorable and, with support from 5 Squads of Marines and a Squad of Special Forces, would attempt to take out the Shield Generators. RAIDERS split into two Fire Teams, one headed by Havock and another by Jaenna, while the Special Forces split into two as well. They were heading towards two of the shield generators, one Special Forces Team paired with a RAIDERS Fire Team.
Havock led Bacredi, Grahim and Karash while Jaenna took Joamer, Akilla, and Walcroft. They met little opposition due to the fact that they were wearing stealth suits and avoided most patrols. The marine squads stayed back to cover their escape. Two fire teams to each generator worked out generally well, and they all ended up meeting their objective without any bloodshed. That was until they actually entered the shield generator rooms, when the two teams began to rip apart all opposition with crowd control weapons. Havock and Jaenna's squad performed marveously and they both planted explosives onto the generators while still under fire. Blowing it, the teams escaped and began to move towards their next objectives. Casualties in this objectives were at a minimal for the friendlies, and only one Special Forces member was ripped apart by a ricochet. RAIDERS Squad was allowed one personal weapon each and one squad weapon, and they were all equipped with shadow suits which helped them sneaked by in patrols.
Hey, Who Turned Out the Lights?[edit]
|The shields failing raises a full alert to Raiders' presence on the Inexorable. Security teams are dispatched to deal with them. Raiders proceeds to the port and aft targeting systems to disable them.
—Mission Dossier
"Hey, who turned out the lights? were the last words a sorry crewman muttered before he was killed by the butt of a rifle. RAIDERS Squad was still on the Inexorable with their marine and special forces counterparts. They were instructed to proceed towards the targeting systems—which were placed in the aft and port of the ship. The teams headed to the targets quickly, this time with marine help as security teams began to head towards their last known location. The ship was faltering and being bombarded now that it was vulnerable, and RAIDERS had to move quickly. The fire teams dispatched themselves through the vents and back hallways. This time it was much, much, much harder for the teams to penetrate the ship's defences.
RAIDERS Squad ended up destroying the targeting systems, not without loss of life, however. Many Marines were lost while Walcroft, a RAIDERS trooper, was killed.
Dead in the Water...err...Space[edit]
|The Inexorable tries to pull out of the fight. Raiders is told to shut it down and EVAC. They must proceed to the belly of the VSD and reach the Engine Control Core on their way to the docking bay.
—Mission Dossier
Dead in Water! RAIDERS ran as fast as they could to the engine core room. They met heavy opposition and eventually met up with the other teams. Now a full fighting force, RAIDERS attempted to head towards the engine room through back hallways. But there was only one way to reach the engine core from their current location—a very slow door. As they reached that door, Jaenna left Karash and Bacredi back with eight or so marines to cover their retreat as they attempted to open the door. Karash and Bacredi brought out crates and put marines in the external hallways and behind doorways. The doors that kept them from the enemy were smashed open, and in popped two flashbangs. The first two marines at the front of the color were the first to take the hit, having been killed immediately after the flashbangs went off.
Meanwhile, Jaenna and Havock attempted to open the door with marines covering their part of the hallway. Bacredi and Karash had lost three more marines in the external hallway. Three marines and two troopers versus an ongoing amount of troopers didn't look good. Grenades were tossed from each side, but the Thrawnists mainly had flashbangs due to the fact that the soldiers on the surface had all of the good equipment. Bacredi and Karash tossed grenades and ran out of ammo in unison, both of them drawing their pistols. The doors had opened, however, due to Jaenna's skill with hacking. Bacredi and Karash, along with the remaining marines retreated. Two marines died in the retreat and they both turned the corner to allies waiting to ambush the enemy. They all made it through the door and through the engine core and the hangar, hurting the engine core on their way out. Bacredi piloted the escape pod to the surface.
|RAIDERS arrives planetside at Fort Sexton and is tasked with protecting the AHC in the command center. Several squads of elite troops infiltrate the Fort and head towards the Command Center.
—Mission Dossier
Fort Sexton was the stronghold of the Army High Command and therefore they were tasked with the best troopers to protect them. RAIDERS Squad who were rested for about an hour or two, were in Fort Sexton, preparing for an inevitable assault. They had been given new weapons and armor, and they then transported the commanders to their bunker. The opposition started an hour later as three squads of Nova Troopers attempted to infiltrate the base, RAIDERS starts out to destroy the Nova Troopers in their tracks and stop them from killing the Army High Command. Explosive traps that RAIDERS had left for the Nova Troopers went off all around the base, and RAIDERS eventually destroyed the opposition decisively. Thus saving their leaders.
Eye for an Eye…[edit]
|Angered, the AHC orders RAIDERS to use Thrawn's tactics against him. The squad is sent to infiltrate the mobile command base used by Thrawn's field commander and assassinate him. His defenses are considerable
—Mission Dossier
Eye For An Aye: a policy followed for generations. Bacredi and Havock took co-pilot and pilot respectively, after the entire squad dressed into honor guard uniforms. They were going to try and infiltrate Thrawn's base—which had his field commander in it. Waulkure, an academy recruit that had just joined them, was acting as prisoner to get them into the base. They landed the LAAT/i after doing some communication work, and were led to the prison where Waulkure was put into her cell after Joamer was able to take off her cuffs and slide her a pistol. A large battle ensued as the prison cells were deactivated and the field troops were taken by surprise. Their M66s were silent, but the field troopers weapons, however, were not. Their shots alerted the entire base of their presence and they began to move out after the field troopers were dead in the prison cell. The Special Forces team was caught on camera by Bacredi and he saw two Noghiri come out of nowhere and decimate half of the Special Forces Squad.
RAIDERS Squad eventually boards a suped up transport of Thrawn's which holds the field commander and the communication array.
Regroup, Reuse, Revenge...[edit]
|With no support and being pursued by the Noghri, RAIDERS must try to find a way to sabotage the attack while avoiding capture. Satellite cans of the command post reveals a vulnerable communications array which the AHC orders taken out.
—Mission Dossier
"Regroup, Reuse, Revenge... uttered through RAIDERS coms as they attempted to escape. They boarded a transport and eventually ripped through the inner defenses and made their way to the cockpit. Joamer piloted them into a wall, however, and they became sitting ducks. Havock again led a team through the engine rooms to attempt to destroy a communications array with a computer terminal. The first terminal was destroyed by a gunshot from Bacredi (that went past a desired target) and then the second was destroyed by a suicidal grenade that also ripped part of Bacredi's leg open. Jaenna's team attempted to hold off large crowds of troops, and eight troops from the bottom level that Havock's team didn't engage—they regretted that. After that, Havock was laying on the floor and began seizing—something was obviously wrong. Jaenna, already going into one of her more insane states of mind, turned on the whimpering Waulkure and took her Treppus-II to the girl's throat, killing the newbie. Bacredi and Joamer, who were guarding outside, were caught off guard and were forced to surrender. As with all the other members of the squad after Havock got stabilized.
Livin' on a Prayer[edit]
|With RAIDERS' capture, the AHC decides to send in one of the top Spec Forces units to extract them. The squad is HALO dropped with jetpacks from an LAAT over the enemy forces.
—Mission Dossier
Ghost Squad is HALO dropped into the forest, near the RAIDERS last position. They get the jump on a patrolling group of field troopers. The Ghosts make their way to the ruined mobile command base and manage to get the entry hatch open. They explore, finding no living person but lots of evidence of the RAIDERS presence. Ghosts find a route that was probably used to move the RAIDERS squad. Following it they see the RAIDERS being loaded up into a transport and they do not look good at all.
You Give Thrawn a Bad Name[edit]
|Ghost squad is ordered to extract the RAIDERS before the shuttle departs. Once the squad is secured, they are given coordinates for emergency medivac.
—Mission Dossier
The Ghosts manage to sneak up on a few unsuspecting field troopers, taking them out just before the main firefight began. Drake, the squad medic, takes a noob and makes a run for the transport to check on the RAIDERS. He finds them to be in very bad condition, and is horrified that they have been denied even basic medical care. The ASL, is unconscious and fighting a high fever. The SL is also unconsious, but from a close range stun blast. The rest of the squad is battered and needs bacta patches and some far more. Drake does what he can then organizes the able bodied to assist in the fight against the field troopers. It becomes clear to all of the Ghosts that the RAIDERS needed to get out of the fight and transported out of there as soon as possible. Two of the RAIDERS, Joamer and Havock have only hours to live.
The Ghosts and RAIDERS drive the field troopers off into the forest. Joamer kills one of the noghri, before collapsing from his own high fever. With the aid of stretchers and assistance the two squads manage to find a way though the forest to a clearing that can be used to land a medivac and get the RAIDERS to safety.
Dead or Alive[edit]
|With RAIDERS rescued, the AHC orders Ghost to leave as well. Angered by the treatment of RAIDERS, Ghost disobeys orders and goes back after Thrawn's commanders, a mission they know is suicide.
—Mission Dossier
The Ghost squad is picked up by their LAAT pilot as the RAIDERS lift off to receive much needed medical attention. The squad suffered casualties securing the RAIDERS escape. One of them was An'Owyn, the squads HWS and squad leader Doronson's girlfriend. This affected Wisp greatly as she died on the transport. The other Ghosts were shaken and frustrated by the need to complete the RAIDERS mission. They all felt like it was a point of honor to finish what the other squad had started.
The decision was made and the LAAT was turned around, heading for a clearing which another LAAT was being used by Thrawn's commanders as a fallback point. Using the guns on the LAAT they razed the ground, killing many of the field troopers. Running on to the battlefield the Ghosts discover that the troopers that survived the attack ran off to another location. They followed them and found a bunker where the commanders, one noghri, and a final squad of field troopers waited.
The squad fought their way to the depths of the bunker, losing friends along the way. Until only Marcus and Drake were left to meet the final commander and his noghri. They are captured and beaten, the commander convinced that there are more VE troopers in the area. Danica had rigged up an explosion that would collapse the bunker before she was killed by shrapnel. After the commander kills Drake, Marcus smuggly raises the detonator. He kills the commander and everyone else in the bunker, completing the RAIDERS mission and bringing them all honor.

We love working with all of our couples on the creation of their wedding invitations and beyond, but we especially enjoyed this one as it was a bit different from what we typically create. Alex and Mike decided to go with an Italian, hand torn paper for the invitation and a hand painted, watercolor pineapple as the main crest. With hand done calligraphy, this invitation was brought full circle by all of the hand crafted details. This beautiful wedding designed by Cibi Events and photographed by none other than Dana Cubbage Weddings, we knew this wedding invitation was left in great hands.

If your a follower of mine you'll know I've had a pretty rough life but I am one of the happiest Mother Fluffy's on the planet.
You know I've probably used my science of Spirit experiments on myself to escape from the fact I was never really that happy growing up.
But I learned to follow my compass. I was never afraid to take chances. I learned to listen to when things weren't such a good idea and when things were.
(This is one of the things I'm going to teach my students) But my point is, Life can be shit.
Ya know?
I have to say in the last 12 months 9 out of 10 of my clients are on some form of medication for some depression or stress or another. And let me be clear. I am in NO WAY saying my clients are any less human because they take medication. So before I get emails let me explain.
We have been condition to lose the will to fight. We are plastered with images of useless celebrities and uneducated feminists without a clue what they're saying, and fed threats of terrorists and the need to hand over all control to your Leaders.
I'm telling you now America if you give up your guns you will die a death and America as we know it won't exist anymore. It will become a third world country. But all of this 'Your not good enough' 'You should be like Kim Kardashian, why aren't you like Snooker and JHow and whatever their names are?' This 'If you don't go to college and rack up untold debt either on yourself or your parents just so your kids and party' needs to stop.
University isn't for everyone and that's fine.
In New Zealand you get the option to go to Uni or college but no one expects you to go so there is no pressure.
I had one family come to me because their son/brother killed himself because he was so stressed out at the thought of having to go to College and get into all that debt he would have to pay back was too much pressure for him. So he chose death.
Americans are being bullied into living, thinking, being people they aren't. Putting unrealistic expectations on your kids for the last 100 years is the reason why Therapists, Psychics, and Pharmaceutical industry have been draining you all of your money. It's the biggest scam on the market next to Organized Religion.
Who gives a shit if you don't go to college. If your doing what makes you happy then surely that is all that matters? But now we have a couple of generations of people trying to cope with the fact they feel like failures because they aren't rich, famous and successful. But here in that equation is Happiness? Fulfillment? Peace or Balance? It is so much more important.
But I recently found out that the American Psychiatry Board or whatever it is called as classed every emotion other than Happy a mental illness. No joke.
Since when has being sad or scared a mental illness? Since when did it become unacceptable to be sad over a break up of death. The second you go to a Dr now to say your grieving and tired and the first thing they do is give you pills.
This has to stop people. This is how they are weeding out the weak from the strong. They are trying to categorizing you and put you into groups and your handing them your freedom and lives on a plate.
When you lower your expectations and just strive for balance and peace, happiness comes in bucket loads and this is what I'll teach the other half of my contributors.
But in order for anyone to live that life you HAVE to be honest with yourself.
Shit happens, ya know? Some times some people are going to be dicks, some times cruel assholes, sadistic and psychopathic. Some times things are going to happen that aren't nice, or fair, or good. Sometimes people are going to hurt you. Some times your hopes will be dashed and you'll wake up every morning and think 'Why can't I just go to sleep and just not wake up anymore? this would be so much easier if I just died in my sleep.'
One of the big things I learned while I experienced that Time Travel, Gravity incident of last weekend is that in our lives everything in life has Two versions.
Two choices. Like roots and branches on a tree, each decision you make in life branches into another limb or root with its own evolution to concentrate on.
But these two choices are like a finely balanced scale. Too much on one side and it's too much, and too much that way and it's not enough. You must get the balance just right in order to get the right answer.
The golden rule is this. If you have second thoughts about something that is Spirits way of telling you 'STOP!!!! back back, this isn't right for you, back away and don't turn back. You WILL fuck up if you don't listen to this gut instinct.
When something is right for you it clicks onto place like when your unlocking a safe and when you unlock something that is right, it has a domino effect and everything falls into place and you evolve to a new stage of your Spiritual evolution or to put it in layman's terms 'You fulfill part of your destiny'.
How you deal with this stress and bull shit that happens makes all the difference folks. I'm serious. I know this because I've lived it, studied it, mastered it now teaching it lol
I've spent one year listening only to my compass. I gave myself one year to see if by listening it would take me to good things, I have only been on it 9 months and already it has changed my life beyond imagination. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined my life would be pretty much perfect. The only thing that would make it more perfect is if my husband was home with me, by my side, raising our boys, and making a game of his own. I'm more in love with him than I've ever been. My boys are awesome and healthy. I have the best career if you can call it that. It's not a job for me it's a Blessing. A Calling possibly more so. I don't even know what to call myself any more. Debbie Who and Time Lordette, X Man have been suggested lol
And what I've learned is, you need to listen to your internal compass. We really do have a Moral Compass. You need to get honest with yourself. Admit when you've been a dickhead, apologize for the things you know you were in the wrong for. It's all there eating us up inside if we don't. Everything in the entire Universe has a polar opposite of.
We need to. It is crucial to have two versions of every possibility. You will have choices and decisions to make in life that will have two possible out comes. You have the right path and the wrong path. The right path leads you there easier and quicker, and you'll be rewarded with the domino effect and if you take the opposite path it will lead to you being miserable and wondering where it all went wrong.
The way to always chose the right path is by the following.
Brutal Honesty
Brutal Honesty: is because you need to hold your hands up and admit when your wrong. We are never right all of the time. No one is perfect. Even me, I can make mistakes. But I hold my hands up to them every time because other wise it eats away at your conscience and I want to evolve into my next phase not come back again. lol You must be able to say 'I'm sorry'. It's important to the Soul that drags it's sorry bums behind us as we flail about not listening to it that we are free from burden so we can lead really good, rich and rewarding lives. Trust me, life is so much easier when you release yourself of the burdens that suffocate us. Either resolve it or let it go. If you try to resolve it and it doesn't get the reaction you expect don't be upset. God!!! don't ever be upset at yourself for trying. It might not go as planned but it happened as it was meant to. Don't be upset. Be proud that you tried. It came to a conclusion and you get to move on better the person for it because you know you at least tried. You got over the fear and you walked away better for it.
It takes an honorable, and strong person to admit they are wrong and ask forgiveness. If it's sincere of course.
But it takes a real Spiritual Soul to forgive the person for it.
But when your faced with a situation where you have to make a choice pay attention to what your guts and heart are saying.
Your left brain will try to talk you into thinking about it, maybe being a little too cautious, a little too paranoid. Your Spirit will be trying to tell you to listen to your gut. Your Spirits will be the ones saying 'Are you sure about this?'
IF your second guessing your decision, your being told by Spirit 'Wooooow there cowboy!!!! Are you sure about this? Something feels wrong to me. You need to back out of this toot sweet'.
When your unlocking your destiny nothing feels wrong. You jump in feet first, no questions asked. When you make the right decisions in life, it has what I call the domino effect. The high you get from being happy literally unlocks other parts of happiness you didn't know was there lol It's the only way to explain how it feels. I literally stopped my career on a dime and did a total 360 with it. Deciding to give up readings as my main job and do the one thing I never said I'd do which was Teach lol I didn't think anyone would .listen. I tried to put blocks up but all roads lead to me teaching. I'm getting such lovely donations from people. It's been humbling and I'm embarrassed but your helping me write all this out and allowing me to correct my mistakes and I have made mistakes. Being honest is so important. You need to let your ego go and admit you made a mistake. Don't walk away from anything where people think your anything less the honorable and kind.
If your walking away from someone who thinks that way of you, not all the times will be not your fault and you need to admit the times when it's your fault. People will respect you more. We need to go back to the time when a person's word was their bond. Being know for being honest means your doing a good job. It is always better to be hurt by the truth than to be devastated by a lie. Lies are like poison. As long as your words are for helping, not hurting though. Sometimes the truth is hard to hear but in time you'll be happier for it.
Humility: means don't be about ego, let things go, be the better person and know when to walk away. Everything you do must be for the right reasons but when you make a mistake, take it to yourself and use it to show people your a good person who isn't afraid to admit they made a mistake. As long as it's genuine of course. None of this matters if your not doing it for the right reasons. You can't cheat your way into this journey with Spirit if your not doing it for the love. That is the beauty of this journey with Spirit. It's fail proof. it can't be faked. lol You have to have the need, the faith and the heart to be this committed to following Spirit. This whole thing I'm teaching you now is how to follow your compass to find your bliss, just like I did. One or two of you know me on a personal level. You know my fight over the last 16 years. You know if I'm saying I'm so happy I cry because I can't believe I get to be so happy lol I'm not rich, not a Super Model, not a Menza member, not famous. But I'm so happy I can't sleep. I get so excited to be with my boys lol it's usually the weekend. But everyone can have this sort of happiness if they follow these steps.
Sometimes you need to show a little humility. It makes people trust you more. They know your human like them. You get such an easier life when people trust you and you trust them. It creates perfect balance. It makes you feel fantastic. The domino effect will kick in and everything will fall into place like the ticking of a clock or unlocking of a safe. It all clicks into place and it moves you forward on your journey. So don't be afraid to admit you were wrong. Don't be afraid to say sorry. It mends bridges and opens all new possibilities. A 'I'm so sorry I was a dick' goes a long way. Trust me.
FAITH: Because if your on a journey of self or Spiritual recovery you need faith that no matter what is happening good or bad, it's happening because it is meant to and Spirit will only ever have our best interests at heart.
So it means showing no fear or worry when your about to lose your job or boyfriend or home. It doesn't matter. Not really. It's just a job, man, building. Yes it's gonna hurt and be scary but when you have faith absolute faith, you know it just means it is the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one.
All these things that happen in your life that are making you sad, scared, worried etc…..are all just clearing out the things in your life that are no longer necessary or positive for your future journey.
If I lost my house to the bank Id be so grateful for the financial freedom. I have no interest in having a Mortgage and will only buy a house when I have all or most of the cost for deposit. I've never understood these people who feel the need to buy a house or consider themselves a failure for not owning one.
In the UK there are people so desperate for a mortgage they are taking out 100yr mortgages. Which means they are buying houses for their Grandchildren to have to pay. Grandkids that aren't born yet are being born into debt slavery by their idiot grandparents.
Lets look at this for an example.
You buy a house worth say $120,000. By the time you've paid it back plus interest your $120k mortgage is actually for around $400k. By the time you add interest, fees and charges on your 120k house you've actually given the bank around 400k. For what? Wood and brick, glass and fabrics that you have to pay and extra few thousand for the upkeep and redecorating every few years and you can't even take it with you when you die.
I personally would rather use the half a million in my adult life time I'd be using it to make memories and have adventures, seeing the world with my family, happy, healthy and together. THAT I can take it with me.
When you have faith, you don't need a house, you just need a home. With love and family. Better someone else pays for the roof than having to put it on the credit cards your gonna max out by doing it.
You don't need the things you think you need when you have faith. Having faith helps you see what's most important in life.
and lastly
HEART: because if you don't have heart there is no point doing any of it. The truth is, what I'm going to teach my students and contributors looking for guidance how to be happy, if none of them have heart, it won't work.
True happiness, true heart, true faith, has to be real. Real is truth, truth is honesty, honesty brings balance and balance brings evolution. Or Power Ups as I used to call it lol
When you have none of these things in your life, this is why your unhappy. Your Soul is crying out for you to make the changes in your life you need to be making in order to find peace. Because if you don't start with being brutally honest with yourself and the push it gives you to better yourself and cleanse your Soul, you'll never get the rest. You'll never be a Path Walker. It always starts as a Path Walker.
For my contributors who are being taken on as Students. This is what I'm looking for in the people I take on as Students. Not all of you will make it to the end of all of this but life is a journey and I'm your Tour Guide lol
But life is gonna suck. Embrace it. Stop hiding behind medication that stops you from having any kind of emotion. you NEEEEEED emotion for fucks sake. Cry if your sad, get angry if your mad, hunch a bloody pillow, eat some ice cream or grab a beer, get it out. Stop trying to block emotion. If you stop yourself from having emotion you'll never know true love. You'll never know how good it feels to love something whole heartedly. You'll never know the pain that comes with loving someone. You'll never know how good it feels to enjoy their touch. Or how much your heart swells when your connected in that moment with someone who really loves you. Love is what is going to fix this poor broken down old planet. Love is going to save our children, our communities, our countries and our broken. Be it animal, vegetable or mineral. Love will save the day. And it starts with all of you here reading this today.

Hong Kong Chamber: A Letter from Canberra
I write this on the eve of the first day of the 2018 Parliamentary sitting year. It's a day spent kick starting committee work, Question Time, debating legislation and catching up with colleagues after the summer recess.
And it's a day spent honouring those Australians who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation at the Australian War Memorial's Last Post Ceremony.
The design of our nation's capital mean parliamentarians and public servants are constantly mindful of those who have served and fallen for the freedoms we enjoy today. New Parliament House and Old Parliament House both face the Australian War Memorial beyond the stretch of Anzac Parade.
At the Last Post Ceremony the Prime Minister, Opposition Leader, Service Chiefs and parliamentarians gather with Australians and visitors from all around the world to pause to reflect and remember.
The ceremony begins with the Australian national anthem followed by the piper's lament. Wreaths and floral tributes are then laid beside the Pool of Reflection. An individual's story is told, and the Ode is recited by an Australian Defence Force member. The ceremony ends with the sounding of the Last Post. The ceremony is held 364 days of the year. Each day the story is told of one of the more than 102,000 Australians on the Roll of Honour.
As a terrible testament to the toll of conflict, it will take nearly 300 years to commemorate every person on the Roll of Honour. The Australian Memorial is committed to ensuring that each story will be told.
This year we will honour Corporal John Arthur Metson, a 24 year old from Melbourne who was killed in action in Papua New Guinea during World War II and is laid to rest at Port Moresby (Bomana) War Cemetery.
The Last Post Ceremony is a sombre and moving reminder – at the beginning of the parliamentary sitting year – of the responsibility and duty of our role as decision makers for the nation and the future of Australians.

From bankruptcy to rebirth
The persistent hum running through the General Motors assembly plant in Orion Township, Michigan, sounds neither like crisis nor change, even in a facility and a company that has seen plenty of both.
Before 2009-before the GM bankruptcy closed this plant, ended the production of the Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6, and idled thousands of workers-this was a big place making big cars under the big rules of the way Detroit used to make cars. Today, Orion is a new plant in an old shell, making the smaller Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano. It's a smaller footprint with a Lean assembly process. There are new work rules, new technology, new investment, and a new sense of what is possible when you start all over with your manufacturing plan.
But to start over, you have to stop.
Old plant, new rules
At Orion (pronounced OR-e-on), the bankruptcy wasn't about stock prices or even the overall U.S. economy. The matter hit close to home. This was personal.
"After the plant was idled, it was a very difficult time for the entire team," said Steve Brock, plant manager of the Orion Assembly facility and the nearby Pontiac Metal Center. "The overall economy was suffering, our future was uncertain, and people were cutting back on eating out, making special purchases, which impacted local merchants. Additionally, the employees of local suppliers were directly affected because the plant no longer needed consumables, parts, or services."
For two years, Orion's plant lay idle as GM wrestled with a way not only out of bankruptcy, but also out from the underlying competitive issues that had plagued Detroit automakers for decades. It was clear that if Orion were to reopen under a "new GM," there would need to be new rules in place. That meant a commitment from the United Auto Workers for a change in work rules and wage structures, and a commitment from GM for a stable, sustainable future for the facility. It also required a commitment of tax incentives from the state of Michigan.
The first step in that process was to make the Chevy Sonic the centerpiece of that facility. The Aveo had been manufactured in South Korea prior to the bankruptcy, and the Sonic, as its replacement in the subcompact category, seemed like another candidate for an American auto nameplate with a foreign birthplace. Instead, the Sonic came to Orion.
To make it a cost-effective move, the UAW and GM agreed to new work rules, and to the institution of the Global Manufacturing System, the company's Lean manufacturing system. Brock said it is "designed to engage and align the team to achieve positive business results and embrace continuous improvement."
Before they could engage and align, Orion had to get the plant up and running again, with many of the same people in place, but with a whole new set of rules. "I don't think that we lost their trust and confidence," Brock said. "I think we had to help them understand the bigger picture of our challenge of competitively building the first small car in the U.S. We had to help them understand how we were going to do that together and why change was important."
That change required a consistent joint message from the Orion management and from the UAW. "As every team member reentered the plant, we invested the time to share that message as a joint leadership, UAW and GM, and teach the principles of GMS and the importance of change or continuous improvement," Brock said. "To maintain trust and confidence, you need to walk the talk and live our values."
Those efforts continue today. "The relationship with the local is collaborative," said Orion assistant plant manager Doug Hanly. "There may be tension on how get there, but there is no disagreement on what the end game is. They want to get there. They understand why we do what we're going to do and what their role is."
Communicating the future
Communication is one of the most crucial elements of the Orion process. "We've got to continue to share the story with our workers. The confrontations of the past are not there," Hanly said. "We now have meetings between the shop chairman once a week on formal basis. The more we can show a united front on floor, the more the team on the floor recognizes that."
"Communication was, and still is, a critical aspect of helping our team understand what we need to do, how we need to do it, and most importantly, why," said Brock. "Our focus has been on how we engage every member of our team to understand how their work contributes to the success of their team, the plant, the company, and most importantly, the customer.
"We are proving that engaged people executing processes do achieve positive results," Brock added.
That engagement is showing up in new ways that were less likely before Orion's rebirth. "One avenue is the innovation and creativity of our workers," Hanly said. "They're the best ones to come up with solutions to our problems. We're started engaging the team. We've challenged them on how the product design needs to come together. We've challenged them to think about how we do our business, and how we do it more effectively. You've got to be a Lean thinker."
At the top, a year of turmoil
The process of manufacturing a car-the movement of parts from suppliers to line workers, the whirr of pneumatic wrenches and the purr of lift trucks, the marriage of chassis and powertrain-is not fundamentally different from the vision Henry Ford created a century ago. The ballet that takes a car from unassembled parts to a finished machine is still a sight to behold.
The challenge today is to make that same car more efficiently and with fewer defects. It is here where GM-though not specifically Orion-faces its greatest challenge.
The revelation came in February 2014 that 13 deaths are blamed on a manufacturing defect in the ignition switches in Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Saturn models manufactured from 2003 through 2010. The resulting firestorm has resulted in a change in management at GM, with longtime company engineer Mary Barra taking the CEO role.
The company hired former federal prosecutor Anton Valukas to conduct an investigation into GM's handling of concerns over the ignition switch defect reports, and the general culture around safety and accountability at GM.
In prepared remarks before Congress on June 18, Barra was unsparing in her criticism of the problems GM now faces. "Two weeks ago, I purposefully addressed the entire global workforce about the report. I told our team as bluntly as I knew how, that the series of questionable actions and inactions uncovered in the investigation were inexcusable," Barra said. "I also told them that while I want to solve the problems as quickly as possible, I never want anyone associated with GM to forget what happened. I want this terrible experience permanently etched into our collective memories. This isn't just another business challenge. This is a tragic problem that should never have happened. And it must never happen again."
But Congress has been just as unsparing in its criticism. Barra twice has been called before Congressional committees both to testify and to answer pointed questions about the failure of the GM culture before and after bankruptcy to address and correct such defects. Perhaps just as bad, the problem has turned GM into a punchline for late-night comedians.
It has been made worse by the continuing litany of recalls GM has issued since the February ignition switch scandal first broke. As of July 1, there were more than 40 individual recalls of GM products manufactured in the last decade. Some were minor fixes in small quantities that normally wouldn't have caused much of an uproar. Many have occurred as GM itself has uncovered other problems in its internal investigation and is being proactive-something that wasn't done as a result of past GM defects, according to the Valukas report.
Taken in aggregate, those recalls have painted a dim picture of GM. Yet even as Barra announces sweeping changes within the company in between congressional testimony and the recalls notices drone on, the business of making cars and the business of the business continues as usual.
The world's second largest manufacturer of automobiles makes 10 million cars a year. Sales remain strong, and the stock price has been relatively unaffected. In October 2007, GM stock closed at $42.64 a share. By June of 2009, the company was in bankruptcy and shares were frozen at 75 cents a share. The company emerged from bankruptcy in November of 2009 and the stock price rose to more than $34 a share. It nearly touched the $41 mark before Christmas of 2013, just before the ignition switch crisis began, In July 2014, the stock hovered around $36 a share.
Reinvestment in Orion
Only about 40 miles separate GM's corporate headquarters (ironically located at Renaissance Drive) from the Orion Township plant. The distance from the current GM troubles seems farther away. Of the 44 GM recall notices in the United States since the beginning of 2014, just two have involved cars manufactured at Orion. On June 5, 31,000 vehicles, including not just the Sonic and Verano but also the Chevrolet Camaro and Chevrolet Cruze, were recalled for repair of a driver's side air bag bar. On June 11, 21,000 Sonics from 2012 were recalled to repair a possible fracture of the transmission turbine shaft. That's less than 50,000 cars compared with the almost 18 million GM models recalled this year.
The success the team at Orion has enjoyed has earned it a reinvestment from the company in new technology and new processes to further streamline costs and improve productivity. A new automated guided vehicle (AGV) system allows production materials to be kitted and delivered to line workers without the use of lift trucks. The AGV processes also delivers the chassis and drivetrain on time and in sequence, and raises the chassis to the proper height for the worker, improving ergonomics and safety.
A new paint shop was installed inside the walls of the Orion plant. "The new paint shop turned a three-coat process into one step and reduced the footprint of the paint shop by 250,000 sq ft." Hanly said. "It's now being used as a model for other facilities."
The changes are not limited to the assembly line. At the rear of the facility, you get a full view of the landscape around Orion. You can see the coal bins and coal field that used to provide power for the plant. The old days of coal, like the old days of the old work rules, are gone. "We're completely done with coal," Hanly said.
The plant sits between two landfills, and later this year the landfill gas will begin fueling eight new generators that are expected to generate about half of the power necessary to run the plant. A solar array delivers another 350 kW of power for the plant, part of an overall effort at GM to expand the use of solar power at plant sites.
All of this reinvestment in Orion, just five years removed from bankruptcy, has turned the facility into a proving ground for new GM initiatives. Brock thinks it's a proving ground for his team as well. He said his team has earned the investments "by providing the results or payback on the investment with the right methods and behaviors. An engaged team of people that embraces innovation and finds ways to do things differently or better results in continuous improvements that help execute our processes, ultimately resulting in positive business results."
Fueling the future
It has been a year of unbelievable turmoil within General Motors, and the impact of that turmoil is not lost on the team at Orion. But they also remain focused on making the Sonic and Verano, and to continue to earn the benefits of this new opportunity. The plant leadership at Orion sees it as a very personal process.
"I think about the bankruptcy, and then to come back to where we are today," Hanly said. "Relationships matter; it's how we got here today."
"I am proud of the team and their commitment to the customer and working hard every day to be better than the day before," Brock said. "Our mission statement is, 'Build it like we own it,' and we all take that to heart as we perform our work every day."
By reducing the manufacturing footprint by 36%, the Orion team has opened up the room for manufacturing expansion. That was an impossible dream in 2009; the workforce and the community would have settled for just getting the plant reopened. Now there is room for growth and room for optimism.
"A lot of factors go into defining the future for a manufacturing operation. For the near term, we can help the future of Orion by staying focused on the things that we have the ability to directly control and influence," said Brock. "In the longer term, we will continue to create a culture that is supportive of being a very Lean, efficient, and flexible factory with a team that is creative, innovative, and embraces change in all we do."

Nike Kobe Icon
Being known as the Nike Zoom Kobe Icon, this sneaker has a similar look to the Air Jordan XX8 thanks to the shroud upper. The zipper starts off up by the ankle and goes all the way down to the toe. The midsole /outsole tooling is similar to the one that we saw on the Nike Kobe 6 so maybe they will also feel the same. Here we take a look at two of the first colorway that are expected to release, one in gold with a white midsole and the other in black with a white midsole.

Hello everyone,
On today post of Music Monday, we are taking a look back in time to the very popular girl group, Destiny's Child. If you grew up in the 90s, you certainly had posters of them on your wall and you bought their audio cassettes (remember those?). The first song I heard by them is Bills Bills Bills, but one of my all time favorites is Jumpin' Jumpin'.
It definitely makes you want to jump and dance, still to this day I dance to this song like I did when I was a kid. Ahh, the sweet memories! This single was released on April 17, 2000 and it landed a number one spot on the US Billboard Mainstream Top 40.
Enjoy and have a peaceful Monday evening!
See you soon!

Wyoming Man Arrested After I-90 Pursuit
A man was arrested in Gillette Sunday afternoon after leading law enforcement on a 25-mile pursuit along Interstate 90.
Moorcroft resident Anthony Delfino, 23, was arrested in Gillette around 1:15 p.m. Sunday shortly after crashing the 2007 Kawasaki motorcycle on which he fled.
The chase started at 12:38 p.m. when a Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper tried to stop Delfino for a registration violation near mile post 150 on I-90 westbound. The Patrol says in a news release that Delfino did not stop attempted to elude the trooper, reaching speeds of 140 mph.
The pursuit entered the city limits of Gillette at exit 126 at 12:50 p.m. Law enforcement opted to terminate the chase for the safety of the public, Delfino and the pursuing officers.
Less than twenty minutes later, law enforcement received a report that Delfino and the motorcycle had crashed at Echeta Road and Burma Avenue in Gillette. Delfino fled the scene of the crash on foot, but Campbell County Sheriff's deputies found him just a couple of blocks away.
Law enforcement was not pursuing Delfino when he sped around a corner and lost control of the motorcycle.
Delfino was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. He was treated at the scene for minor injuries and did not require hospitalization.
Troopers arrested Delfino and booked him into the Campbell County Detention Center on charges of misdemeanor marijuana possession, eluding, reckless driving, driving under the influence, driving on a suspended driver's license, speeding and expired registration. Delfino was also reportedly booked on a Campbell County warrant or failing to appear on previous charges of driving while suspended and speeding.
Both the Campbell County Sheriff's Office and the Gillette Police Department assisted the Patrol in apprehending Delfino.

|Monica and Jean in front of Maya Hayuk's graffiti wall on Houston Street
There are a number of art galleries that pepper the streets on the Lower East Side and here are some highlights from my walk about with artist Jean Alexander Frater.
|View at Frosch & Portmann Gallery

David Hayward, Untitled

15 x 18 in
The Frosch & Portmann Gallery on Stanton Street is an intimate space that has a solo show featuring the oil paintings of David Hayward on display until April 6th, 2014. Hayward's abstract paintings are left untitled to leave interpretation up to the viewer and depict a shape that embodies the panel. There is great use of positive and negative space in Hayward's compositions that allude to nature and maps along with many other correlations that can be associated with his imagery. There is a tranquility in his work that is thoughtful yet informal and he strikes a gentle balance between his contrasting colors, textures and dominant shape. David Hayward is one to watch.

The McKenzie Fine Art Gallery featured large-scale paintings by Laura Watt that dazzled Jean and I with their hypnotic patterns that created rhythmic grid compositions with strong contrasting colors. When you read her press release it reveals her inspirations like comic book imagery and 1960s rock posters, which is evident in her psychedelic, vector formations that alter in shape and scale. Her works are dynamic and her technique is dutifully mastered as she constructs pulsating patterns with dexterous line work that demonstrates her talent and deft hand.
|Gallery view of original magazine images after they are placed on scanner by Rusty Shackleford.
The spacious Cindy Rucker Gallery on Attorney Street had a solo show titled Repeater by Chicago based artist Rusty Shackleford. His works are comprised of magazine papers that are obscured by paint applications and are further altered by being smashed on his scanner that generates a work of art created by chance. The final result is an enlarged digital print that is the result of his process and produces works that are unpredictable and random. I like the process of combining digital tools and fine art talents, but I was less impressed with the final results that sometimes felt incomplete and at times disconnected to the magazine image itself. Some prints were stronger than others with paint smudges and splats that spontaneously integrated. There are some great ideas and techniques in Shackleford's work, but the work can be further developed to speak to the artists statement and have more visual appeal.

The Lisa Cooley Gallery had a group show that recently closed titled We play at paste, which gets its title from an Emily Dickinson poem. Lucy Kim was one of the artists in the show and I enjoyed her 3-Dimensional works that featured molds of various mouths and noses composed on wood panels that read as playful and pliable in their asymmetrical arrangements. In Your Nose Is My Nose (1), Kim's use of space and color creates profile images that are subtle and complementary to her 3-D forms and does not overwhelm the background. In her second panel the ribbon-like lines that surround the features conjure up the idea of deflated balloons and prompts comparisons to what it is to be a child and/or adult.

Dutch economic growth at 1.8 percent in the third quarter of 2010
- 1.8 percent year-on-year growth
- No quarter-on-quarter growth
- Robust but slightly slower growth in exports
- Modest growth in household consumption
- Job recovery continues
According to the first provisional estimates by Statistics Netherlands, Dutch economic growth in the third quarter of 2010 reached 1.8 percent compared to the same quarter of 2009.
Compared with the previous quarter the Dutch economy contracted by 0.1 percent in the third quarter of 2010. This takes the working day and seasonal influences into account. The previous four quarters saw a positive quarter-on-quarter growth
Robust but slightly slower growth in exports
In the third quarter of 2010 the export volume of goods and services was over 10 percent higher than in the same quarter of 2009. The growth rate is slightly slower than in the second quarter. Re-exports grew fastest again. The growth rate of the exports of Dutch manufactured products on the other hand lagged behind because foreign demand for chemical products did not grow as abundantly as in the previous quarter and there was a dip in natural gas exports.
Less investment in construction, more in machinery and computers
In the third quarter investments were down by 3 percent on the previous year. Investments in housing, commercial property and civil engineering works were considerably lower. However investments in machinery and computers were up substantially. The decrease in investments is less than in the previous quarters.
Modest growth in household consumption
Households spent 0.6 percent more in the third quarter than the year before. Although this is a modest growth rate, it is the highest in two years. The increase is mainly due to spending on durable consumer goods. People bought more cars and spent more on consumer electronics and clothes. They spent less on foreign travel and in hotels and restaurants.
The volume of government consumption continued to increase. The real expenditure on care was higher, as was spending on public government and education.
Substantial growth in manufacturing, continued contraction in construction
Dutch industrial production grew by 7 percent in the third quarter. This was slightly less than the growth rate in the second quarter, mainly due to slower growth in the chemical industry. The production of natural gas increased somewhat on the year before, but far less so than in the second quarter. In line with the increased industrial production trade and transport followed with growth rates of 7 and 3 percent respectively.
The contraction in construction continued, but was less severe than in the previous three quarters. In the third quarter, production was down by 8 percent on the year before.
Job recovery continues
In the third quarter of 2010 there were 17 thousand fewer jobs of employees than in the same quarter of 2009. This is just a 0.2 percent decrease. The seasonally adjusted number of jobs in the third quarter was up by 8 thousand on the second quarter of 2010. This is the second quarter in a row with positive quarter-on-quarter growth. The quarter-on-quarter growth in the third quarter is slower than in the second quarter.

My Approach
My counselling approach is humanistic and relational. I place great emphasis on the relationship between myself and the client, since it is the relationship between us which provides the healing benefit. Working with the 'whole person' and not the 'label' is my philosophy and this lies at the heart of my approach.
For as long as I can remember, I've always had a natural curiosity about human nature. My first counselling role was working for Camden City Islington Westminster Bereavement Service. Loss comes in so many forms. To be able to offer a safe and confidential space for people to explore and give voice to their painful feelings and difficult emotions, to listen attentively and walk alongside someone as they navigate their way through the grieving process, is a life-affirming experience, and one I feel very privileged to have been a part of.
Since 2007, I have worked therapeutically with numerous clients and helped them through the various life challenges they were facing.
Having worked in both public and private sectors, has given me the knowledge and understanding to work competently with people from various backgrounds and different cultures. My own life experience has also shaped the way in which I work.
Counselling Technique
I offer an integrative style of therapy; which basically means I will combine and use principles, skills and knowledge from several specific therapy approaches, tailored to support your individual needs and personality.
Integrative therapy is also about integrating you as a person. It involves looking at how the different parts of you work together – how your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, as well as physical and spiritual health are working together. The aim is not to 'change' you, but to help you find balance within yourself.
Theory of Practice
Having a solid theory provides the framework for effective counselling. The theory for my professional integrative counselling training was Petruska Clarkson's 5 Stranded Relationship Model. She suggests there are 5 relationship stages that clients go through:-
- The Working Alliance Relationship
- The Transferential/Counter-Transferential Relationship
- The Reparative/Developmentally-needed Relationship
- The Person-to-Person Relationship
- The Transpersonal Relationship.
As John Rowan says in his book (The Reality Game: Routledge 1998):-
"If we say that human beings exist on at least five levels – body, feelings, intellect, soul and spirit – then we have to do justice to all five of these levels in all of our efforts at realising human potential."
Counselling is not an experience to be feared. It is a gentle, unravelling process – and yet it can be profoundly life-changing, as I myself have personally witnessed. Why not give it a try?

European and US mayors take lead in tackling global warming
Mayors have led cities large and small in actions to tackle global warming at local level. These efforts have been linked in the United States since 2005 and since 2008 in the European Union too. In the US this was a bottom-up intervention, which sought to connect cities to the Kyoto Protocol even though the Bush administration refused to sign it.
An initiative by the former Seattle mayor Greg Nickels in 2004 called on mayors across the country to action to coincide with the February 2005 date when the Kyoto Treaty came into legal force in those nations, which signed it. This attracted an immediate response and led to the adoption by the US Conference of Mayors in June 2005 of a climate protection agreement calling for a seven per reduction by 2012 from 1990 emissions levels. By then, there were already 161 signatories.
The agreement also calls on Congress to pass emissions reduction legislation and commits mayors to press their state government and the federal government to enact policies, which will contribute to meeting the Kyoto target. The agreement has been supported since 2007 by the Mayors Climate Protection Center, which was established to help meet the needs of mayors who signed the agreement notably for guidance and assistance.
By March 2009 there were 935 signatories from cities, which contain around 84 million people in all. This is a high proportion of the urban population in the US though some notably high carbon footprint cities remain absent. These include sprawling places Oklahoma City, North Las Vegas, Glendale, Houston and Corpus Christie. More

Incident report
Buxton Mountain Rescue Team, together with three Search and Rescue dogs were called to assist the police in locating a missing person in Buxton on Sunday.
The missing person was last seen in the early hours of Sunday morning in the Harpur Hill area. The team and dogs were tasked to search more than a mile square of open fields and woodlands to the west of Harpur Hill, adjoining Grinlow Woods. The terrain was variable, ranging from open grassland, woodlands and steep sided dales with rocky outcrops.
In one woodland area, search dog Toby, disturbed a wasps nest. Both he and his handler were attacked, the handler receiving more than thirty stings, and the dog considerably more. The dog was taken to a local vet for immediate treatment.
The missing person turned up at a friends house in Buxton in the early evening. An ambulance was called, and the missing person was taken to Stepping Hill Hospital, Stockport.
Neil Carruthers, Buxton Team Leader said " There were concerns expressed for the safety of this individual. An extensive search of the local area was undertaken by us. The missing person was later found well outside our search area. We are very grateful to Police for the support provided in enabling us to get the search dog to a vet quickly, also thanks to the Overdale Surgery."

From Eddie Botha (Daily Dispatch Online)
If Phat Joe goes and Chuene stays there is something twisted about SA's morality - Michael Trapido
That Athletics South Africa (ASA) president Leonard Chuene is still in his job is unacceptable. Last week, writing from Atlanta in the US, and humiliated by the US TV networks' highlights of the lies Chuene told about the gender tests conducted on 800m world champion Caster Semenya, I called for his head.
I find myself in good company. Even the Ministry of Sport called on ASA "to fire him from his position as the president of ASA".
"If they fail to do so, they will be running the risk of being led by a liar," deputy minister of sport Gert Oosthuizen said.
Oosthuizen, a remnant from the old Nat party and now a converted ANC member, must have had the blessing of Luthuli House to make such a statement.
That brings us to the question of leadership within the party, which has always stressed the strength and importance of its collective decision-making process.
Why then, if the party feels so strongly about ridding ASA of a lying official who has embarrassed the country, does it tolerate a total nitwit such as Julius Malema, the leader of the ANC's Youth League?
If Malema is the best the party can offer to lead (?) its youth, then God help South Africa. What makes Malema's position on the centre stage even more laughable, if not tragic, are his statements on the Semenya affair. This was a moment too good for the slippery tongue of Malema to ignore.
As Alex Perry, the South African-based correspondent of Time magazine, noted: "The manner in which South Africa defended Semenya only underlines how obsessed with difference the country remains."
Perry was referring to Malema's statement that the issue was not gender but race.
"Semenya was a victim of white officials, white media and unpatriotic white South Africans."
Unpatriotic South Africans? Well, I for one, and I am sure I speak for the majority of white South Africans, had never heard of Semenya before the Berlin race.
The white media? Who is Malema referring to? Avusa? The Independent group? The Caxton newspapers? Media24? He has yet to specify which white media group he meant.
White officials? As far as I know only the disgraced Chuene has been exposed as the official, who single-handedly embarrassed South Africa and is probably responsible for wrecking the career of a young athlete.
Is it not ironic that Malema and Chuene's statements sounded like an orchestrated effort to discredit white South Africans?
In the midst of the storm surrounding Semenya's gender issue Chuene said the speculation had started in South Africa.
"I have proof of it.... We will not allow that Europeans describe our children. They are our children."
But we now know that he is a self-confessed liar. He has no honour.
Hopefully Oosthuizen and his party will deal with Chuene. ASA has failed to do so.
But what about Malema? Can the party really afford to allow a man in their midst, who at the slightest opportunity grabs the chance to make racial accusations against people, who have not fled the country and who are keen and eager to work for the prosperity of all its peoples?
Can it really afford someone who uses his under-qualifications to speak disparagingly of rape victims to lead its youth? I am, of course, referring to Malema's own confession that his lack of tertiary education was responsible for his alleged hate speech during an election rally where he said that President Jacob Zuma's rape accuser "had a nice time".
Pleading ignorance in the case, which was brought against him by the Sonke Gender Justice Network, Malema said he was a "layman" and merely quoting from a High Court judgment.
He only had a matric qualification and could not quote the judgment verbatim.
"You must know that you are talking to a layman whose highest qualification is matric, who is trying to remember a judgment which was passed three years back."
But is this "layman" qualified to accuse innocent fellow South Africans of racism?
Is he qualified to lead the ANC Youth League? I don't think so.

Photos by Ian Collins, no reproduction without permission.
These photos are from a Pebble Mill outside broadcast from May 1987. They feature VT engineer Paul Scholes, OB engineer Rod Bach, vision engineer John Bradley and PA Janet Redencowitz (sp?).
The outside broadcast was for the drama series: 'Vanity Fair', for which lighting director Dave Bushell was nominated for a BAFTA. The location was Heydon Hall or Thetford, both in Norfolk. The series was hosted at Pebble Mill, out of London.

Nice pictures, however the O.B. engineer is Rod Bach there was no e on the end, although that is how it was pronounced.
Janet's surname is Redencowitz. I probably have not spelled that correctly. Damn good PA.

Simon, i have one more picture to put on but i shall wait until saturday evening before i revel it to the golfing community....
Since when has Bracknell been in Surrey?
As promised the last photo has been added
Not quite of the same quality are they ! (but I do have to concede that at least you've got 2 trophies to brag about).
I took the other photos off needed the space.
Bob, and the winners are????????????
Pete : Having spent 12 hours going through every profile on The Social Golfer (can visably see my nose growing). I declare a tie !
For sheer quality - equal first is Carol B. for the armful of cups won at ONE PRIZEGIVING !
For quantity the award has to be shared by John Loveridge - my wife would go spare with all those gongs and things (?) on our 16th century sideboard !
Judging is SO DIFFICULT how did I win this job ?
So : 1 x "2-1" to Carol B. and 1 x "2-1" to John Loveridge - I'll give you the money when we next play.
Happy pot hunting - unless Carol or John get there first !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a hero you are Bob, trawling '000s of profiles to keep it fair! (if i'd have been judging people would have had to have told me they'd posted the photo to be included !!).
I'm impressed by the collections (but I suspect Carol is simply standing in front of the end of year awards lined up at the bar before they're given out!). I'll arrange the 2-fore-1 vouchers as you've awarded.
Well done to all who took part (I'm now going to think up my own competition - one I can win... maybe 'best golfer never to have won a trophy...').
Pete, It just goes to show that you dont have to be a good golfer just a lucky one or in my case a bandit.... My approach to golf is army based ... left .. right... left
I reakon in 2005 there was only two women members at the club. Both in the picture. Can we have confirmation that they were not runner up trophys!
PS. Well done carol
A special message to the Brothers Grimm.
What a nice way to end a forum!!!!!!!
