Mariah ‘delayed by custody talks’

Mariah Carey’s custody battle with Nick Cannon has been blamed for her no-show at Rockefeller Center Tuesday.

The singer was scheduled to record a set for the annual Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting but fans were left waiting for hours before learning she was a no-show.

She later made it up with a live performance Wednesday; but sources say the delay was entirely out of her control, as Mariah was apparently held up by lawyers representing her estranged husband, Nick Cannon.

“The talks were about custody and seeing their kids,” the insider told the New York Post. “What she went through was ridiculous. People in [Nick Cannon’s] camp knew full well where she had to be. She had even stayed in a hotel a block away because she was worried about traffic.”

Mariah and Nick share three-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan. The former couple separated earlier this year after six years of marriage.

Mariah’s spokesperson declined to comment. Nick’s spokesperson had not immediately responded to the claims.

However, Mariah insisted the situation was “beyond my control” in an apology to fans posted on Twitter.

“Last night’s situation was beyond my control. I apologize to all that showed up, you know that I would never want to disappoint you,” she wrote, asking those interested in seeing the live show to tune in to NBC Wednesday night as she performed All I Want For Christmas is You.

“You've kept me here, in your hearts, and I keep you in mine always. We are #lambily! #ThereForMe,” the star later tweeted.

The annual event also featured a performance from Lady Gaga as the 85-foot-tall tree was lit in New York City’s Rockefeller Center.

TV View: There ought to be a law against Barristers

By Joe Nawaz

Conscious Uncoupling might have been the idiot-meme of the week in certain circles who live their life vicariously through famous people.

BBC NI, with typical contrariness however, opted instead for a little unconscious coupling in its most recent batch of 'Life, innit?' documentaries – putting more flies on walls than is generally considered healthy, and letting us see the results.

Barristers' supposed unprecedented access to the inner legal circles and Jigs And Wigs' 'insider' look at the slightly demented world of Irish dancing boasted much more in common than tacky hairpieces and deft manoeuvring.

There were some God-awful voiceovers for starters, and I mean buttock-clenching 'listen with mother' type, especially in Barristers, which the mighty Conleth Hill (right) must have agreed to do as payback to some dark lord in the Satanic bowels of Broadcasting House, but more of that in a diabolical minute. The promised insights weren't really forthcoming either. Jigs And Wigs, which this week showed us the Taiwanese craze for all things Michael Flatley, couldn't actually get into the heads of these kids, who competed so passionately to fiddly-dee music on the other side of the planet, they had all developed slight Irish accents.

Fortunately the human stories of these hard-working families (I mean 12 hrs a day, people) were so utterly beguiling, the Riverdance fetish was merely window dressing for a glimpse at human frailty, fear and the joy of small triumphs.

That's been the strength of Jigs And Wigs throughout – it, ahem, reels us in with a bit of fancy footwork, and before you know it you're sucked into these wonderful pockets of human experience that transcend the purported subject. Or something.

There's no pockets – of human experience or otherwise – in a Barrister's robes however, and the cameras being let into the Bar for the first time in 100 years served to obscure rather than illuminate proceedings. It didn't help programme makers decided that because they hadn't filmed there before, we didn't actually know what, y'know, 'the law' was.

"There are two types of lawyer in Northern Ireland: solicitor and barrister," burred Hill almost apologetically.

He paused as if waiting for hands to go up, then added "and barristers are called in if the case is VERY complicated". The early learning guide to legal stuff didn't end there. "Our legal system is not just in Belfast, it's also spread across Northern Ireland." You could see dozens of Belfast city slickers making a mental note to finally brave the wilds of Sprucefield shopping centre for a weekend bargain.

Almost impressively, Barristers was jaw-droppingly condescending, and yet simultaneously boring.

Cameras lingered on a mouldering wig on a desk or an occasional pile of paperwork to lend some visual gravitas to proceedings, whilst poor old Conleth continued: "Like plumbers and builders, barristers need more than one job if they are to make a living."

And don't get me started on the big "book of facts" – an actual barrister thing. I asked a lawyer friend of mine what she made of Barristers. She said it was excruciating. "They've made law look dull, it isn't really!" she protested. But then, she would.

Turns out I prefer my Jigs And Wigs to the sound of Riverdance, thank you very much – if not my legal advice.

A film-maker of pedigree, but Louis's bark is lot quieter now

Everyone's favourite faux-awkward investigative journalist and 'immersive documentary' maker who isn't called Jon Ronson was back this week in Louis Theroux's LA Stories (BBC2).

Typically, Louis shied away from the obvious vapidity and glitz of LaLa land. Instead he focused in the first episode on the mutts that populate the City Of Angels. City Of Dogs had the deceptively affable Theroux effectively drawing parallels between the human societal order and the treatment of canines in LA.

So, you had former gang-banger Malcolm training pound dogs into killing machines. At the other end of the scale you had a zen dog trainer called Dogman (how very LA) and a somewhat delusory chap – is there any other kind of subject in Theroux's films? – who believed even the most vicious dogs could be tamed and thereby saved from extermination.

In a city where about 10,000 unwanted dogs are destroyed each year, and Chihuahuas are the ultimate Louis Vitton handbag accessory, it made for affecting enough telly, but it seems – like us all – Theroux's mellowed in his old age.

I pined like a pit bull on peyote for the days when Louis used to gently skewer the likes of white supremacists, Christian fundamentalists and Jimmy Savile.

Scientifically dubious show was dead loss

"I'm after the last remains of the greatest artists, scientists, even Presidents," gasped scientist Mark Evans in Dead Famous DNA (C4).

"Could their DNA reveal what made Marilyn Monroe so attractive, Albert Einstein so intelligent and Adolf Hitler so evil?" It was all I could do not to scream out: "They're all culturally subjective attributes, Mr so-called Channel Four scientist!!" But instead I persevered.

"You're sort of envisaging a conveyer belt of John Lennons," Evans continued, determined to bait us into staying for the 40 minutes.

Alas – the scientific and non-exploitative genes seem to be as elusive in Channel Four's DNA as Albert Einstein's eyeballs are on eBay. The cosy chat with a Holocaust denier was the final knackered nucleotide in this dead loss of a tenuous science show.

Crowds left in the dark at bungled Christmas tree lights switch-on in Co Armagh village

By Cate McCurry

A festive blunder left a Co Armagh village in darkness after council officials failed to deliver the lights for the Christmas tree switch-on event.

Organisers and spectators at the Scotch Street festivities were left scratching their heads after discovering the large festive tree was bare.

Members of the Richmount Rural Community Association (RRCA) - who helped organise the event - were forced to abandon the big switch-on last Thursday.

Billed as the 'Scotch Street Christmas Tree' event, Lord Mayor Garath Keating had been scheduled to join children from Richmount Playgroup and Richmount Primary School to do the honours.

The evening was set in motion by RRCA chairman Joe Garvey, followed by carols from the primary school choir.

While it appears the error was due to a communication breakdown, Mr Garvey posted on Facebook the following day: "Council staff apologise for the lights not being on the Christmas tree last night. We have no wish to cause trouble for these staff. It is supposed to be the season of goodwill. I would be grateful if people would let the matter rest.

"We all have made mistakes and sometimes forget to do things."

A council spokeswoman said no formal request had been received from the RRCA. She added there was a casual phone call to a council staff member as far back as September, when he was in the fields tending to his cattle.

"We provide the installation and lighting of trees for 49 areas throughout the borough. This is in addition to providing the funding for local community associations to organise their switch-ons," the spokeswoman added.

"In this instance, our operations department was not given adequate notice for the lights to be installed and tested prior to the switch-on.

"According to local feedback, the community event proved to be a great success."

Businessman Don Woolsey, owner of Woolsey Mace, one of the sponsors of the event, said: "It's a complete lack of communication between Richmount association and the local council. Everyone was a bit surprised and a bit disappointed, as it was the main event. There were loads of children there, it was all for them. It was sad for them."

The Sinn Fein Lord Mayor said: "It wasn't a huge deal, there was some sort of mix-up and the lights weren't on the tree.

"The event included a lovely carol service and people were gathered, and then Santa arrived and it was more than a capable distraction, and the kids were far more concerned about getting sweets from Santa.

"It was barely noticed by the kids that there were no lights."

The lights, however, arrived last Friday morning when two electricians placed them on the bare tree and switched them on.

Pavey's message for the Shire: Our Forestry Estate

Member for Oxley Melinda Pavey.

Member for Oxley Melinda Pavey.

Member for Oxley Melinda Pavey has issued the following statement regarding Tarkeeth State Forest.

The Bellinger Valley boasts wonderfully productive native forest and hardwood plantations, such as those in the Tarkeeth State Forest, one of many areas wisely set-aside for timber production ad-infinitum.

The Valley’s old-timers will tell you that Tarkeeth was privately owned farm lands which were purchased in the 1960s by APM to develop a timber plantation. The land was sold to the Forestry Commission in the 1980s, and the plantations are now mature.

APM planned specifically to grow a crop of trees, to be harvested and processed at local mills - which supports local jobs and supplies households, businesses and Governments with the timber products we all love.

There are 4,295 men and women employed in the forestry sector in northern NSW. And, timber harvesting in NSW is very highly regulated.

Hence, it’s quite a surprise to see that the Greens have tabled a motion in the NSW Parliament calling for the forest “to be protected from logging, to abandon the planned June 2016 harvesting operation and to find alternative jobs for timber industry workers”.

It really is time for a mature, factual, science-based and constructive discussion about forestry and our forest estate.

When you stand-back and rationally consider the facts, there really is no question about the legitimacy of forestry from every perspective – social, economic, scientific and environmental.

If there is a question to be asked, it is: why do some people think a tenure change from State Forest to National Park delivers good conservation outcomes?

Let’s look at the figures.

Since the 1990s, the conservation tenure has grown to 2,400,000 hectares of National Park & Reserves on the NSW North Coast.

There (still) remains just under 900,000 hectares of State Forest on the North Coast, of which near 378,000 ha is harvestable, and the balance (522,000ha) is not harvestable due to slope, riparian and other regulatory exclusions.

There is an enormous amount of land that is not harvested, and not used, and not managed.

Also, only between one and two per cent of the overall area of State Forest sees harvest activities in any year. And these areas are only harvested once every 25-30 years in the forestry cycle.

The figures tell the story.

What we need to focus on are the biodiversity outcomes across the landscape. Many species live in both State Forests and National Parks and the two land uses can work collectively to support biodiversity.

But is there another agenda afoot, running under cover of: old growth, threatened species, aboriginal artefacts and cultural history, erosion, fire, forestry economics, wilderness, rainforest, eco-tourism and the like?

Is it that there are some people who just want to shut down an industry?

Regarding Koalas, the key threats to koalas are wildfire, cars, dogs and habitat loss. And yes, there are koalas in State Forests, but they also happily live in and around heavily populated Port Macquarie – which shows that they don’t rely on a tenure system.

Tenure is an human construct to mark out who is in control of what; it does not automatically confer good management, and it is prime for political and/or ideological opportunists.

The fact is that area of conservation tenure is not a proxy for good conservation outcomes.

I must also make a point about duplicity: folk cannot call for the end of native forest harvesting and demand that we source timber from plantations, and then oppose the harvesting of those plantations!

The Tarkeeth plantations are to be harvested and replanted with local native species, including Blackbutt and Tallowwood.

In-line with best-practice forestry, trees will be retained along water courses and on steep slopes, and in doing so, will provide fauna habitat.

Ultimately, sustainably managed timber harvesting can take place in a manner that balances the views of all stakeholders. This happens in New Zealand, in North America and in Europe.

But in Australia, an attitude and a culture has been engineered and decreed that is contrary to what is happening overseas. Many people here see forestry as a problem; but elsewhere, it is widely accepted as part of the solution.

Sadly, the Tarkeeth State Forest is the latest in a long line of production forests in NSW to be subjected to political and/or ideological interventions.

Former ALP Premier, Bob Carr, claimed to ‘save the forests’, but all he really did was change the tenure of 350 parcels of State Forest to National Park.

And it was for politics, not science. He targeted and harvested preference votes from inner-Sydney to be re-elected, and he received life membership of The Wilderness Society and a World Conservation Union International Parks Merit Award.

And city folk were comforted that the ‘forests were saved’. But, out in the bush, pest and weed incursions increase, fuel-loads increase, roads and fire-tracks deteriorate and the forest slowly trends to bush to scrub.

I believe the time of the tenure approach has past.

And the costs have been huge. Since the 1990s, the NSW government has invested around $5 billion in this system of estate management. While the annual running costs of the conservation forest estate are currently $376 million, or $53 per hectare (2012/13), NSW State Forests are maintained at a net cost of $17 million or $9 per hectare (2013/14).

Our coastal hardwood forests, and plantations, deserve more than being un-managed exhibits on one side of an arbitrary line and sustainable timber producing systems on the other side.

Both really do need some management to sustain them. Forestry is a management tool, in fact, if you think about it, forestry could be a substitute for the fire-stick farming practises that this continent evolved under for 30-40,000 years – which delivered the biodiversity that we now aspire to.

In this sense, the book The Biggest Estate on Earth, by Australian National University Professor of History, Bill Gammage, is essential reading.

I really do think it’s time for a mature, factual, science-based and constructive discussion about forestry and our forest estate – that truly balances environmental, social and economic values.

Loop the Lake Festival: Looking forward to the Loop

Greg Ward and daughter Erica Ward bike the path near downtown Bemidji on Friday. The pair plan to take part in today’s Loop the Lake Festival, a 17-mile ride around Lake Bemidji. Monte Draper | Bemidji Pioneer

BEMIDJI -- Although Erica Ward has lived in Bemidji almost all her life, for the first time she will be biking the 17-mile loop around Lake Bemidji as an entrant today in the Loop the Lake Festival. Her father, Greg, will be joining her in his first long bike ride in many years.

"We're not racers at all. We're in the novice stage yet. I used to ride a lot about 30 years ago," Greg said.

Erica, 32, recently became interested in cycling after taking a Bike 101 class through Bemidji Community Education in April. She learned basic bike maintenance, including how to change a tire and how to navigate through traffic on roads. The class helped her build confidence in biking, and she thought it was time to put her bike knowledge to good use.

"I haven't gone on a long bike ride since about 2005 when a friend and I biked the 15-mile trail around Lake Itasca at Itasca State Park," she said. "Ever since then I always thought biking would be really fun to get into. I thought, 'This would be cool.'"

The Loop the Lake Festival is designed as an attractive event for people who have wanted to bike around the lake, but never have because the distance seemed intimidating. The course has eight rest stops, making the ride much more manageable for cyclists who want to go on a more leisurely ride and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

"I like that there's a whole bunch of rest stops. It's not very far between them, so I think that helped convince my dad and I that we could do this together. We can go a couple of miles and then stop and get a drink or listen to music or have some food. I think that's a really attractive thing," Erica said.

Erica and Greg, 60, are excited to see there is a lot of community support behind the event and to see so many people out on bicycles.

"Biking is a great way to exercise, see some territory, and explore a little bit. You have a lot of freedom on a bike, and it's cheap," Greg said. "When I was a kid, I used to ride my bike 20 miles without even thinking about it. I would go pick up pop bottles on the road and come back with 30 cents worth of bottles and then go buy myself a pop. We would ride our bikes all over the place, that was our only mode of transportation."

With more than 200 entrants signed up, the Loop the Lake is going to be popular, but Erica is hoping to see more people sign up this morning. "Biking is very eco-friendly. And fun. Anybody can do it," she said.

Erica and her father are looking forward to the ride and being able to relax along the way. They are hoping the weather will cooperate, so they can finally bike the lake together.

Greg said, "I've always wanted to ride around the lake, and I've oiled my bike, so I'm ready."

If you go

What: Loop the Lake Festival, a community bike ride around Lake Bemidji.

Where: Sanford Center parking lot

When: A rolling start between 8 and 9:30 a.m.

Cost: $25 for solo riders; $35 for dual riders and $55 for households of 3-6; Riders registering today will pay $2 extra.

Serratore is entering her senior year at Bemidji High School and is interning at the Pioneer through the Minnesota Newspaper Association's Pohlad Summer Internship Program.

Each outlet will be giving away prizes to the top six winners who correctly predict the final scores on the day of the matches.

It might not seem like it on the outside but I am a supporter of the Liverpool Club and it has been like this since I first started watching football although i am the perfect example of a kaki bangku (football fail) and I am currently looking for some Liverpool kit as well so if yalls got any lobang do let me know :) XD.

Prediction for this week's Liverpool game?
Liverpool 2 vs Chelsea 0

Do plan ahead with all your mates and come early for the fun and games and stay for all the excitement of the match. :) If you DO recognize me do come and say hi :)

Zucchini pancakes

What do you do with a zucchini that doesn't require any other ingredients, yet isn't totally boring? That was the dilemma facing me a few days ago. I didn't want to grill since it was raining, and I didn't feel like sautéing since I find sautéed zucchini kind of boring. Roasting could be a good idea, but it's much more interesting when zucchini are mixed with some other veggies, which I didn't have. That's when it dawned on me -- how about zucchini pancakes! I've never made them and was dying to try this dish I remember my Mom making. It's common in Russia to make oladyi (pancakes) with all kinds of vegetables and zucchini were one of our favorites.

I didn't have a recipe, but the one I improvised seemed to work incredibly well. The only extra ingredients necessary to make this dish are flour, eggs, salt, and oil (all of which are staples). I threw in some scallions since I found them lying forgotten in a drawer of my fridge, and then fried my pancakes in sunflower seed oil (the olive oil of Russian cooking). It's perfect for frying since it doesn't burn and imparts a great aroma to your dish (at least if you buy the real stuff from a Russian store). But if you don't have sunflower seed oil handy, canola oil will work just fine.

Serves 4 as a side dish

3/4 Lb zucchini (about 1 medium)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1/4 cup finely chopped scallions (optional)
Salt and pepper
Sunflower seed or canola oil for frying
  1. Grate zucchini on the large holes of a box grater (or using a food processor). Squeeze it in handfuls over a sink and move to a bowl.
  2. Add flour, egg, scallions, and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Mix well and taste for salt. Since the batter contains raw egg, it's best to cook a little piece before tasting to be on the safe side, but if you've ever eaten unbaked brownie or chocolate chip cookie batter, this is no more dangerous.
  3. Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add enough oil to make a coating 1/8 inch thick. When oil is hot (moves as easily as water when you tilt a pan), add the batter a spoonful at a time (each spoonful makes one pancake). Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes. Remove to a plate lined with paper towel and repeat with the rest of the batter adding more oil as necessary. Serve immediately with sour cream, yogurt, or plain.

bea at la tartine gourmande said...

Is it Boston air? I have to laugh really hard. This is exactly what I made last night for dinner, although I used different flours, added tarragon and water! So funny!

Helen said...

Hi Bea,

Tarragon -- that sounds like an awesome combination. What flour did you use?

Katerina said...

Looks amazing as usual. Zucchini is such a favorite.

Giacomo said...

Judging from the blog you don't seem partial to pasta, but I cannot resist mentioning that I have a much lazier way of using zucchini and eggs.

Slice the zucchini as thinly as possible and sautee in olive oil while the pasta cooks. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Beat the eggs in a bowl, season generously with pepper and parmesan---essentially you are aiming at a saturated parmesan solution.
Drain the pasta, toss with the zucchini while still sauteeing, remove from the stovetop, add the egg mixture.

Nothing wrong, as usual, with adding onions to the sautee and/or garnishing with parsley.

Helen said...

Hi Giacomo,

Your zucchini pasta recipe sounds wonderful! What exactly does the egg do? Does it turn into a thick sauce of sorts around the pasta? I am so curious now that I want to try it. I am actually quite partial to pasta :) But I am a bit of a pasta snob, so I don't tend to indulge in it unless it's home-made.

Giacomo said...

Hi Helen:

the egg mixture becomes a cream, because the hot pasta quasi-cooks it. Of course if it actually cooked it would curdle and that would be bad, but the pasta is not hot enough.

The classic recipe is pasta alla carbonara essentially what I wrote but with bacon instead of zucchini, with the technique changes that naturally entails.
It has got to be one of the most famous and common pasta sauces in Italy. I'm surprised that it is not in the US too!

You should definitely try both the original and the vegetarian version. They are also great time savers, obviously.

Finally, home-made pasta and the professionally made version are not substitutes, as far as I can tell.
No matter how snob you are, you cannot make your "dry" pasta; at most you can buy the super-fancy ones that boutique shops sell for $8/lb---and I don't, so I cannot know what I am missing, if anything.
You can make Piedmontese-style egg pasta, of course, but you'd never use that for a carbonara of any sort.

sounds very similar to what my korean grandmother used to make for us in her kitchen!

Found this via Google. Needed a second egg - too much dry flour left with only one egg.

My wife loves them!!!!!!

Anonymous said...

I had too many Zucchini from the garden & didn't know what to do with them all. I made the pancakes last 2 weekends. Yummy!

Kaaren said...

This is a *delicious* recipe - thank you!! I didn't have scallions, so I threw in a couple tablespoons of garlic which, thankfully, sweetened as it fried or my kids would have mutinied. :-) My pancakes didn't look delicate and lacy like yours, though, which is also how I remember my Russian friend's blini being. My pancakes were rougher and I couldn't get them to flatten out in the pan much. I'm thinking I either used too much zucchini or grated it too coarsely? I used the largest holes on my grater.

Anonymous said...

This my recipe I was making for years and my daughter still love it :
4-5 white zukkini
1 egg
1 medium potato
1 medium onion
4-5 tbsp of semolina

1. Grate zukkini, potato and onion, mix together in a medium bowl
2. Add egg
3. Add semolina, mix well
4. Meanwhile heat 2-3 tbsp of olive oil in a pan
5. Add salt at the very last moment before frying, otherwise it will be too much liquid from zukkini
6. Fry

Anna said...

I have a lot of trouble frying pancakes. Zucchini pancakes or potato pancakes always come out raw on the inside. I probably take too much batter or they may not be squished thin enough or I have to use higher heat or maybe a lid? I have no idea. Can you maybe let me know what you mean by a 'spoonful'

Helen said...

I use a soup spoon filled with a heap. If you were to use an American measuring Tablespoon (they vary, so you'd need to get a half round shape one). It would be 2 scooped and leveled Tbsp. Flattening them out is important. It is also important to not add too much flour. The batter should be runny enough that it start to flatten out on its own when you put it in the pan. and yes, you do need relatively high heat and more importantly a skillet that conducts heat well.

Thank you very much Helen! I will try again.

I love music.

I write about the music I like and have purchased for the benefit of better understanding it and sharing my preferences with others.

Bach Harpsichord Works - Rannou

Bladine Rannou plays Bach Once Zig-Zag bundled Blandine Rannou's collection of Bach's French suites, English suites, and toccatas together, it was a sure-bet purchase. If I had to put them in order by collection, I'd say the toccatas are the strongest set, followed by the so-called Suites Anglaises, then the Françaises. Originally offered as three separate sets, they reissued the works with new art after her release of Bach's BWV 988, the Variations Goldberg. The toccatas BWV 911-916 are splendid. She owns these pieces, it seems. She lets the music speak, pretty much on its own, without too much dramatic inflection. But when she does, it's to benefit us with the sound of her delicious instrument. The famous C-minor (BWV 911) is among such an example. Even more fire is lit for the opening of BWV 913, the D-minor. I have always enjoyed by readings by Pierre Hantaï. His recording (on Virgin Veritas) is excellent; it's a closer recording, with more detail captured from his somewhat spongy instrument. With Rannou, we get more "air" around the instrument, which puts us at a further distance from the instrument. Her readings of the French and so-called English suites are wonderful additions to my collection. At times I feel she rushes a tad in some dances, it's only because in some, Bach's genius is so profound, you don't want it to go by quite so fast. Probably an appropriate comparison would be Christophe Rousset on this material, for which I don't own his versions. Yet, comparisons are a luxury. I can say Rannou was able to pull me in on more than one occasion with her (at times) modern interpretation. You may not need another version of these collections; have you none on harpsichord, however, these would be ripe fruit for picking. Whether its the most famous BWV 812 or BWV 807, I found plenty to admire, among the most familiar from the collections. I look forward to surveying the less familiar too going forward. Check out my review of her outstanding recording of Bach's Goldberg Varations.

Breakthrough One Day Workshop-Santa Barbara (Calendar View, Events)

Tess Pulver

October 22, 2016 - October 22, 2016

1:00pm – 7:00pm

Santa Barbara

Categories: ,

This extraordinary Day will take you beyond what you think is possible.
The One Day goes in depth to support you to find your authentic voice
and sing with passion, heart and spirit. And will unleash, recharge
and expand the very world you live in.  You will step beyond your
fears and beliefs and find your inner brilliance, a space to honor
your feelings, and allow your true voice to be heard, felt and acknowledged.

The day includes unique voice body processes, singing, sharing, receiving,
encouragement and singing and performing in front of the group with
your heart, feelings and spirit.
“This past weekend I attended the One Day Workshop with Mick and Tess Pulver. They have been doing work that empowers people by helping them find their voice for many years Their work is just incredible and truly unique. Using the healing power of the voice, they help people find the courage to speak up for themselves, overcome shyness, and quiet the voices of the inner critic. All this is accomplished in a fun and playful, yet profound use of singing and sound. The changes I saw in the people who took the workshop on Saturday were quite amazing.”                          ~~~~~ Judith Balian, Excoveries Marketing, Encinitas, CA

“When I attended the Breakthrough One Day Workshop, despite my urges to flee I stayed with it. It was wonderful and liberating and I want to say thank you for encouraging me. what a powerful experience! thank you”……….Carol Russ, Psychologist, San Diego

  • Make a fresh start after a difficult period in your relationship

A divine property in Digbeth has been listed for sale for £2.5 million - and it comes complete with 83-foot spire.

Holy Trinity Church in Stafford Road is on the market through estate agent Fine and Country and buyers can get their hands on a piece of Birmingham history.

The church was built in the 1820s by architect Francis Goodwin and is modelled on Cambridge's spectacular Kings College Chapel. Key features include a towering spire, 14ft rose window and carved stone features.

The importance of the building to the area and architectural merit is enough to qualify for Grade II-listed status, which means conversions would have to go through strict planning processes.

However, with an internal floor area of 21,000 square foot and a 195-year history, the church is expected to interest buyers with deep pockets as a development opportunity.

The sales blurb says: "Arguably one of Birmingham's most iconic landmarks offers an unrivalled opportunity for the discerning purchaser. Trinity Church boasts a rich heritage and some stunning architectural features such as its magnificent 14ft rose window, intricate stonework and original windows."

Are you browsing for a house? Get inspiration on West Midlands homes and search them

The church has an eclectic history including a number of years as a shelter for the homeless once worship ceased in 1971.

And any buyer would also take ownership of the graveyard, which closed as a burial ground in 1873, although family graves were used up to 1925.

1,311 Reasons Why You Should Pick The North Carolina Tar Heels

Eric DickensContributor IMarch 18, 2009

Ok, I lied.  I don't really have 1,311 reasons that the Tar Heels will win it all this year.  In fact, I don't even have 11 reasons.  And I don't need them.  All you need to know is that if Ty Lawson is healthy, this UNC squad will still be standing when all the other teams have been sent home.

After last year's embarrassing 84-66 loss in the Final Four to Kansas, it looked as though the window of opportunity had closed.  In a span of just a few days, Lawson, Danny Green, and Wayne Ellington all threw their name in the hat for the NBA draft.

But, after testing the waters and assessing their draft status, all three decided to return to Chapel Hill to make another run at the national title.

Fast forward to 2009.  Instead of facing teams like the Celtics, Suns, or Spurs, these almost-pros will be taking on the likes of the Highlanders.  That's right.  The Radford Highlanders from the Big South Conference.

Good news, bad news for Radford.  Good news:  They have a chance to face the winner or LSU/Butler in the second round of the tournament.  Bad news: In order to do so they must face a Final Four team returning its 5 leading scorers, including the ACC player of the year, Ty Lawson.

Radford boasts a 21-11 record, which is pretty good considering they started off the year at 4-9.  The bright spot for Radford lies in their frontcourt.  Artsiom Parakhouski, a 6'11'' center, averaged 16 points and 11 rebounds a game, while winning Big South player of the year honors.

The biggest challenge for Radford will be keeping up long enough for Parakhouski to matter.

The Tar Heels average a blistering 91.2 points per game.  And the ignitor for that pace is none other than Lawson.  After sitting out the ACC tournament last weekend, Lawson and his swollen big toe should be ready to run.

The matchup problems for the Highlanders aren't just in the frontcourt.  The backcourt of senior Kenny Thomas and junior Amir Johnson average 33 and 36 minutes a game, respectively.  Which means the pace Lawson will set, eventually will wear them down.

And as long as Lawson is healthy, you will continue to see the Tar Heels push the ball at every opportunity.  Look for Carolina to go inside to Tyler Hansbrough and Deon Thompson forcing Parakhouski to play both ends of the floor without getting into foul trouble.

The matchup bodes well for the Heels to get out to an early lead and never look back.  If for some reason Lawson is unable to go in the first round, you should still see the Tar Heels make it through to face the winner of the Butler/LSU game.

If Butler finds a way past LSU, the matchup is really good on paper for North Carolina.  While Butler has quick guards and shoot 3's in bunches, they don't really have the talent inside to matchup with the bigs from UNC.

Also, the inexperience of the Bulldogs wouldn't help their chances with a tournament foe like senior-laden Carolina, especially playing in Greensboro.  Butler only returns one starter from last year's tournament team and starts two freshman.

LSU, on the other hand, would be a much more difficult challenge.  They are an extremely athletic, up-tempo team that would love to get out and run with the Heels.

They also out rebound their opponents by an average of 5.5 boards a game, which provides them lots of second chance opportunities.

Led by high scoring guard Marcus Thornton and forward Tasmin Mitchell, the Tigers of LSU have shown the talent to play with the best in the country.

Thornton is touted by some to be this year's Stephan Curry.  The type of player to take a team on his back deep into the tournament.

The consolation for the Tar Heels, no matter who they play, is the fact that Ty Lawson has had over a week to rest that big toe.  And as long as he is the one handling the ball for Carolina, you won't even need to consider the other 1,310 reasons.  Just go ahead and buy your tickets to the championship game and enjoy the ride.

Dos Santos vs Hunt: Breaking Down Pivotal Moments from UFC 160's Co-Main Event

Jordy McElroyCorrespondent IMay 26, 2013

Junior Dos Santos and Mark Hunt - Esther Lin/MMAFighting
Junior Dos Santos and Mark Hunt - Esther Lin/MMAFighting

Rarely in combat sports do you see a heavyweight land a spinning back heel kick, but if you didn't know by now, Junior Dos Santos isn't any ordinary heavyweight.

After losing the UFC title to Cain Velasquez in December 2012, Dos Santos stormed back into the title picture on Saturday night at UFC 160 with a brilliant third round knockout win over 2001 K-1 World Grand Prix champ Mark Hunt.

"I trained that [kick] a lot in my gym," Dos Santos said at the post-fight press conference.

"I train kicks all the time in my gym. I train everything— wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai. I never felt confident to do that during the fight because normally my hands work. Tonight I saw the moment to the throw the kick, and I did and it bring me the victory."

How did Dos Santos setup the spinning back heel kick that finished the fight? Let's break down the pivotal moments from the bout.

In the first round, Dos Santos seemed hell-bent on landing the same overhand right that put Velasquez to sleep at UFC on FOX 1. He would often try to disguise his power shot by working weak jabs to Hunt's body and following with the overhand.

Hunt was able to find some success early in the standup, particularly when he utilized leg kicks. After Dos Santos dropped him midway in the round with an overhand right, Hunt got away from his kicks and became one-dimensional, which made him more predictable.

At the start of the second round, Dos Santos gave an early foreboding to the ending of the fight by lowering his base and faking a spinning back kick to test Hunt's reaction. Instead of protecting his head, Hunt's immediate reaction was to protect his body after Dos Santos made it one of his primary targets in the first round.

Dos Santos never went high with the kick in the second round, but he knew the opportunity was in his back pocket.

By this time, Hunt was taking deep gulps of air and beginning to slow down. His hands began to drop at his sides, which allowed Dos Santos an opportunity to work his jab and follow up with three-punch combinations.

With his hands down, Hunt had more distance to cover when he threw punches. This made it easier for Dos Santos to see everything coming and quickly move out of the way.

A deciding factor in the bout was Dos Santos' ability to use angles and keep things technical on the feet. He kept the fight on his terms and in the center of the Octagon. He even threw in a takedown near the end of the round to really mix up his attack and keep Hunt guessing.

In the final frame, it was more of Dos Santos working the jab and strikes to the body. The highlight reel moment came when he feinted a jab and followed up with a spinning back heel kick.

As he did all fight, Hunt went to protect his body and left his head completely vulnerable to the attack. The kick barely clipped the top of Hunt's head, but the power behind the strike was more than enough to put him on his back. Dos Santos followed up with a couple of extra ground strikes before referee Steve Mazzagatti jumped in and stopped the fight.

Hunt is often credited for having one of the best chins in MMA. While this may be true, no fighter is immune to being knocked out, especially when you're competing against a powerful guy like Dos Santos.

It remains to be seen if the same fate awaits Velasquez in the much-anticipated rubber match likely slated for later this year.

LISA LQA Standard

This is another post on scorecarding. As we mentioned earlier, this is a kind of assessing a translation for various purposes, especially the quality of the translation before proceeding with next steps.

Recently, we got many requests on scorecarding English to Indonesian with different levels of difficulty and topics and we always set our own standards on this to our service user. We have to set that we cannot do the scorecarding at the same day. The scorecarding should be delivered in the next day. This is our standard. If you ever wonder why we do this, the reason is one. Scorecarding looks simple and takes little time, but please see what really happens in scorecarding the translation.

Initial checking
An email is coming in. The translation service user is asking for quote. It says that he needs a scorecarding service and asks to assess 1,000 words out of 5,000 words or more. As a translation service provider, you may not simply say OK without quickly checking the quality of the translation, and you do not have to thoroughly check the translation from the beginning to the last part of the document. Remember, you just need to be time-wise. Just do a quick check and decide whether you accept the job or not, without telling anything related to the translation quality to your potential client. Just tell them whether or not you can do. This is specially important as your role is as a checker or assessor with relevant requirements.

This is the process. The time allocated for 1,000 - 2,000 word English-to-Indonesian-translation scorecarding is 1 hour from client. This is the normal practice, but in case you need more time when scorecarding, you may tell the real time spent for one scorecarding to your client. Your client may approve or reject it based on their own discretion. We suggest you tell the real time spent and accept whatever decision is made by your client.

Please see also our post on basics of scorecarding here.

What's inside scorecarding
The task looks simple at the beginning, but please note that this is not as simple as we imagine in the beginning. In the end, you will need to:
  • make thorough research before you decide the translation has error
  • make valid argument with valid reference; you can just this is literal translation, this is not Indonesian standard, this is missing conjunction, and so on. You need to explain what you have considered as mistake. You can just make any change to the existing translation with no valid reason. All you do must be reference based instead of judgment based.
  • make valid report
  • make a conclusion on the overall translation and inform the client if the translation is good to go
  • confront with translator if objection and rejection from the translator arise; the story will go on.
Time spent for one scorecarding
We received this kind of request quite often and normally, only one hour is allocated for one scorecarding. Practically, the scorecarding is simple and takes less time. You just need to skip here and there, read here and there and so on, but trust us. Although, the allocated time is one hour only and this means that we just need one hour a day to complete this task, please consider the above things (what's inside scorecarding). What you do will not only relate to your own job, but also the translator's job. If you make a mistake in your scorecarding and thus it causes trouble to the translator, then you have killed his/her livelihood. Based on this humane consideration and empirical matters we encounter so far, we have set our standard not to provide at-the-same-day scorecarding service for any pairs. It means that we can provide the result the other day. If client sends the translation for scorecarding on April 1, 2017, client will receive the file back on April 2, 2017. This is to ensure that the scorecarding is valid from any perspective.

We are open for any discussion and even free training or consultation on the relevant topic. Just email us or visit our office in Malang, East Java, Indonesia.

Bluffton Today -

Bobcats earn football recognition

  • Richard Brooks/Bluffton Today Bluffton High's three all-star football players -- Michael Sulka, Eric Boyles and Michael Grant -- enjoy accolades at the Bobcats' awards banquet Monday night.

Bluffton Head Coach Ken Cribb was Santa Claus in a red coat Monday night.

Actually, he was proudly wearing his red Shrine Bowl blazer as he passed out “gifts” at the Bobcats’ annual football awards banquet.

Cribb needed no introduction, but got one anyway from BHS Athletic Director Dave Adams. Then the man everybody calls “Coach” got a standing ovation from more than 250 players, parents, fans and coaches spread across three dining rooms at the Hampton Lake clubhouse.

In two years at Bluffton High, Cribb has compiled a 26-3 record and won the Region 7-3A title twice. The 2010 team was runner up for the Lower State championship. The 2011 squad went one step further, winning the Lower State title before falling just short of a state title.

Bluffton has placed five players in post-season all-star competition in the last two years, Cribb said. They include Shrine Bowl players Michael Grant and Eric Boyles and Michael Sulka, who played in the North South All Star Game in Myrtle Beach; from the 2010 team, Lewis Black and Anthony Gardner played in the North-South All Star Game as well.

Next year, the Bobcats move up to Class 4A and Cribb expects no less success at the higher level of competition.

“We’re going to kick the door down in 4A,” he told the crowd.

Cribb and the Bobcats already “have brought great notice to Bluffton and Beaufort County,” said School Superintendent Valerie Truesdale.

Cribb said coaches and High School League officials around the state are commenting on Bluffton’s team dynamic and loyal fan following.

“It’s amazing the reputation that Bluffton is developing statewide,” he said.

Cribb “has made us all winners,” said Bryant Kitty, Bluffton’s baseball coach.

“He has turned this beautiful, diverse town of Bluffton into Bobcat Nation,” Kitty said. “Strangers became friends, friends became family, and family became a nation.”

At the awards banquet, junior quarterback C.J. Frazier was named the most valuable player. He threw for 3,577 yards and 56 touchdowns on the season while running the Bobcats’ pistol offense.

Sulka, Grant and Corey Stoner were recognized for their leadership as permanent team captains for the 2011 season.

Grant, who led the team with 141 tackles, also was named Bluffton’s “Mr. Defense.”

The running-receiving wingback combo of Boyles and Jerry Scott were co-named “Mr. Offense” for the Bobcats. They combined for 1,502 rushing yards, 1,649 receiving yards and 50 touchdowns.

The receiver award went to Dimitri Lowry, who caught 67 passes for 1,209 yards and 23 touchdowns.

Senior linebacker Hayden Gillespie earned the student-athlete award for his 4.225 grade-point average; Stoner won the “3D Award” (Dedication, Determination, Desire).

Fullback Zachary “Tex” Scott was recognized for his work ethic in the weight room with the Iron Cat Award; Jaquan Campbell, who played much of the season with a broken arm, won the toughness award.

Defensive back Muhammed Abdul-Malik was named “Defensive Bobcat” while offensive lineman Yerko Castedo was named “Offensive Bobcat.”

Special teams recognition was awarded to Rogan Ferguson for kick and punt coverage and Mallie Sprouse, who kicked 83 extra points and 3 field goals for 92 total points.

Sulka was named the top offensive lineman while Ladarius Hughes was the best defensive lineman; Jeremy Scott was recognized for his play at defensive back.

Most improved players were K.J. Ford and Kyle Waddell.

Levon Kirkland, former Clemson Tigers and Pittsburgh Steelers star, was scheduled to speak at the banquet but canceled because of his father’s recent death.

Day in a Life of a GP

GENERAL PRACTITIONERS by Dr Andrew Wright 6th May 2015

General background Information:

  • Around 25% of all doctors are GP's, 30% are Hospital Consultants and the rest are either Junior Grades or in training to become GP's or consultants.

  • There are around 68 GP's per 100,000 people - the ideal is 84 per 100,000

  • The UK has generally much lower doctor levels than the rest of the EU

  • 90% of all NHS activity takes place is GP Surgeries / Primary Care - this is despite only having 9% of the NHS budget.

  • GP consultations have risen over the past 15 years from around 300 million per year to around 380 million per year in the UK

Current Situation:

  • There is a huge crises about to happen in General Practice as we are having to deal with an ageing population suffering with multiple complex illnesses and still are expected to deal with this in a 10 minute consultation.

  • The number of over 80's is above 10 million now and rising every year.

  • One third of all new GP training posts are unfilled - no one wants to do it anymore because of the stress and pace of work.

  • Around half of all GP's over 50 year's old plan to retire early because of burnout.

  • 10% of all new GP's plan either to emigrate or do something else.

  • 10% of GP's surgeries are understaffed and cannot recruit new GP's

  • Around 100 are in danger / threat of imminent closure.

  • Indemnity fees for have risen in the past two years from around £3000 / year to £10,000 / year for a daytime GP.

  • This rises up to £30,000 / year if the GP also works in Out of Hours Services and there is a real danger of Out of Hours Care collapsing within the next few months.

  • A hospital Consultant will pay less than £1000 / year as they are mainly covered by Trust Indemnity.

  • Therefore as it stands a junior doctor deciding to become a GP has to be expected to take at least a £9000 pay cut compared to a hospital doctor to cover this cost and this is not helping the already dire situation facing General Practice faces.

GPs at Bolton Community Practice

  • We hope at BCP we will be able to cope with any problems because of our new GP partners and our expanding excellent Nursing Staff.

  • A personal plea...

    • Do not bring a list of problems - 2 at the most!

    • In 10 minutes, we have to listen to your problem, examine you, work out a plan of action and execute it, arrange tests or referrals and then write it all up in such a way that is medico-legally correct...for each problem!

    • You only need a few people in a surgery coming with lists to put you an hour behind - an hour that we do not have as we have already given up on having a dinner break!

    • Please book a double appointment or tell the GP what is on your list so that the most important can be dealt with first.

    • People invariably leave the most important thing till right at the end of a consultation.

An Average Day in the Life of Dr Wright, GP at Bolton Community Practice

  • In Some ways there is no such thing as an average day. Around 20% of my work is unexpected on the day problems. However I have outlined a typical day below.

  • I am contracted and paid to work as a salaried employee of BCP two 3.75 sessions per day Monday to Friday. Eight of these are clinical sessions and two are administrative sessions dealing with education both personal and for the practice and also ensuring we attain our clinical targets.

  • A typical day would be:-

08:15Arrive and deal with emails, prescriptions, urgent queries
09:00Morning surgery where I see on average around 16-18 patients per surgery
12:30Surgery usually finishes around this time and then I have to deal with telephone messages and consultations
12:30 - 13:30Home visits. These can vary from no visits, usually 2-3, but as many as 9 or 10 requests on rare occasions per partner. We do try and deal with as many of these requests in other ways as we can e.g. phone advice, as we do not always need to visit. Visits take much longer than surgery consultations or phone calls and if we do not have to, it does saves lots of valuable time.
13:30 - 14:50This time is spent reading and dealing with around 60 blood and other test results and also going through all our clinical correspondence from other people, e.g. the hospital. This is usually about 50 letters per day. We also have to fill in insurance forms and other non-NHS documents.
14:50 - 17:45Evening Surgery starts

  • Total usually around 9.5 hours (despite only being paid to do 7.5 hours). The problem often arises where we have to deal with an urgent unexpected problem and this can make the above impossible and we have to catch up outside of hours.
