New Zuda News

Good morning,

HIGH MOON: Spoilers

If you haven't read the latest installment of HIGH MOON, please do so now, because what follows are the thumbnails (and spoilers) for Pages 17-20.

I think that's a suitable amount of SPOILER SPACE ... so here goes.

Before I write the scripts that get sent off to Steve and the Zuda team, I spend several hours composing several doodles and tons of thumbnails. Usually, my thumbnails are just glorified stick figures with sample dialogue floating around their heads. These thumbnails have become an important tool it making sure I hit all my essential plot points, while giving Steve a very vague idea of how I think the page should look.

So, without further ado, the thumbnails for Pages 17, 18, 19, 20.

Bishop's Election, Synod Assembly Follow-Up

This morning, at our Rocky Mountain Synod Assembly, we elected Pastor Jim Gonia to serve as the next Bishop of our Synod. He will be installed and begin serving in that position in September, although I'm sure he'll be plenty busy over the next months in preparation for assuming that office.

I was pleased by the results of the election. I expect Pr. Gonia to serve very well as our bishop. I believe his gifts for ministry match well with the next steps we need to take in our synod.

It seems to me that one of the gifts it seems to me that Pr. Gonia brings to this office is that he's willing to consider staffing the office of the Bishop in ways that will be unusual in our synod. See, for my entire tenure in this synod, the professional ministry staff are all part of the same demographic group … well, besides gender. They're all white baby boomers.

Now, as I've noted before, I don't have any problem with baby boomers. However, I do find it problematic when the leadership for a diverse group doesn't reflect in their own makeup the diversity of that group. In this case, the membership of the congregations of our synod is fairly diverse ~ there are newborns, 100-year-olds, and everyone in between.

Unfortunately, though, the leadership of our synod (the synod office staff) has represented only a narrow slice of that diversity.

Obviously Pr. Gonia won't staff the synod office with a 90-year-old in the office next to the 12-year-old. But to call on the gifts and different perspectives on our changing world that are represented by people of different age groups would be a good move for the synod office. And maybe, with a variety of different perspectives on ministry in our contemporary world, our synod will begin in new ways to recognize and celebrate the exemplary ministries in our synod instead of simply lamenting decreases in giving and worship attendance.

Of course, simply installing a new Bishop won't alleviate the problems in our synod or in our congregations, and we'll probably discover new problems that we don't have (or recognize) now ~ but I believe, under Pr. Gonia's leadership, we'll make good strides in the right direction.

1,100[2][3] to 2,000[4][5] killed in total (both combatants and civilians)
100,000 to 250,000 refugees[4][5]

The 1978 South Lebanon conflict (code-named Operation Litani by Israel) was an invasion of Lebanon up to the Litani River, carried out by the Israel Defense Forces in 1978 in response to the Coastal Road massacre. The conflict resulted in the deaths of 1,100–2,000 Lebanese and Palestinians, 20 Israelis, the internal displacement of 100,000 to 250,000 people in Lebanon, and the PLO forces retreating north of the Litani River. It led to the creation of the UNIFIL peacekeeping force and an almost complete Israeli withdrawal.

Though it took the form of an Israeli military incursion into Southern Lebanon, Operation Litani was grounded in the long-running Israeli–Palestinian conflict. From 1968 on, the PLO, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and other Palestinian groups established a quasi-state in southern Lebanon, using it as a base for raids on civilian targets in northern Israel, as well as worldwide terror attacks on Israeli and other targets. This was exacerbated by an influx of 3,000 PLO militants fleeing a defeat in the Jordanian civil war and regrouping in southern Lebanon. Israel responded with damaging attacks against PLO bases.

During Israeli raids from 1968 to 1977, some of the Palestinian towns and camps in the area were totally leveled. According to estimations, by October 1977 about 300,000 refugees, mainly Shiite Muslims, fled South Lebanon.[6] The PLO-Israeli conflict increased political tensions between Maronite Christians and Druze on the one hand and Muslims on the other, adding to the factors behind the 1975–1990 Lebanese Civil War.[7]

In November 1977, Israel initiated an exchange of fire that led to the death of several people from both sides of the border and finally Israeli bombing of the targets in South Lebanon during which 70 people, mainly Lebanese, were killed.[8]

On March 11, 1978, 11 Fatah members led by the 18-year-old female Dalal Mughrabi travelled from Lebanon and killed an American tourist on the beach. They then hijacked a bus on the Coastal Road near Haifa, and en route to Tel Aviv commandeered a second bus. After a lengthy chase and shootout, 38 Israeli civilians, including 13 children, were killed and 76 wounded.[9] This massacre was the proximate cause of the Israeli invasion three days later.[10]

Course of fighting

On March 14, 1978, Israel launched Operation Litani, after the Coastal road massacre. The operation was first called "AVI HACHOCHMA" (Father of wisdom), later changed to "Operation Litani". Its stated goals were to push Palestinian militant groups, particularly the PLO, away from the border with Israel, and to bolster Israel's ally at the time, the South Lebanon Army, because of the attacks against Lebanese Christians and Jews and because of the relentless shelling into Northern Israel. The area south of the Litani River, excepting Tyre, was invaded and occupied in a week long offensive.

The operation began with air, artillery, and naval bombardment, after which IDF infantry and armor forces, comprising about 25,000 soldiers in total, entered south Lebanon. The Israelis first captured a belt of land approximately 10 kilometers deep, by launching a ground attack on all PLO positions along the Lebanese border with Israel. The ground forces were led by two division commanders, and attacked simultaneously along the entire front. Paratroopers landed from helicopters to capture all the bridges on the Litani River, cutting off the possibility of retreat by the PLO, and later expanded north to the Litani River.

The IDF did not succeed in engaging large numbers of PLO forces, who retreated to the north.[11] Many Lebanese civilians were killed by heavy Israeli shelling and air strikes, which also caused extensive property damage and internal displacement.[11] According to Augustus Richard Norton, professor of international relations at Boston University, the IDF military operation killed approximately 1,100 people, most of them Palestinian and Lebanese. According to IDF reporting and internal investigation, at least 550 of the casualties were Palestinian militants initially holding the front line and killed by the IDF ground operation.[2][3] According to other sources about 2000 Lebanese and Palestinian were killed.[4][5]

Estimates for the number of people displaced by the military operations range from at least 100,000 to 250,000.[4][5] Syrian troops deployed inside Lebanon, some of which were within visual range of the IDF, but did not take part in the fighting.[12] The PLO retreated north of the Litani River, continuing to fire at the Israelis. The IDF used cluster bombs provided by the United States. According to U.S. President Jimmy Carter, this use of the cluster bombs violated the legal agreement between Israel and the U.S. because the weapons had been provided for defensive purposes against an attack on Israel.[13] Israel also transferred American weapons to Saad Haddad's Lebanese militia, a violation of American law.[13] Carter's administration prepared to notify Congress that American weapons were being used illegally, which would have resulted in military aid to Israel being cut off.[13] The American consul in Jerusalem informed the Israeli government of their plans and, according to Carter, Prime Minister Begin said that the operation was over.[13]

Outcome of the war

Map showing the Blue Line demarcation line between Lebanon and Israel, established by the UN after the Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 1978

In response to the invasion, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 425 and Resolution 426 calling for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon were both adopted on March 19, 1978. The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) was created to enforce this mandate, specifically "for the purpose of confirming the withdrawal of Israeli forces, restoring international peace and security and assisting the Government of Lebanon in ensuring the return of its effective authority in the area".[12][14] UNIFIL forces arrived in Lebanon on March 23, 1978, setting up headquarters in Naqoura.

Resolution 425 didn't result in an immediate end to hostilities.[12] The Israelis continued military operations for 2 more days until they ordered a ceasefire.[12] The PLO's initial reaction was that the resolution didn't apply to them because it didn't mention the PLO.[12] The PLO leadership finally ordered a ceasefire on March 28, 1978, after a meeting between UNIFIL commander General Emmanual Erskine and Yasser Arafat in Beirut.[12] Helena Cobban has described the agreement as "a turning-point in the history of the Palestinian resistance moment" because it was the first open acceptance of a ceasefire agreement with Israel that was endorsed by all official PLO bodies.[12]

Parts of the Palestinian resistance movement opposed the agreement and tried to violate the ceasefire.[12] In April 1978, second-level Fatah leader Mohammad Daoud Oudeh (Abu Daoud) organized cells of about 70 to 80 fighters with the intention of breaking the ceasefire.[12] Arafat and Khalil Wazir ordered the arrest of all involved and Abu Daoud was later accused of collaborating with Fatah renegade Abu Nidal to break the ceasefire.[12]

Israeli forces withdrew later in 1978, turning over positions inside Lebanon to their ally, the South Lebanon Army (SLA) militia under the leadership of Maj. Saad Haddad. On April 19, 1978, the SLA shelled UNIFIL headquarters, killing 8 UN soldiers. (Fisk, 138). In April 1980, three Irish UN soldiers (Privates Barrett, Smallhorne and O'Mahoney) were kidnapped and two of them murdered by Christian gunmen, Private O'Mahoney survived (being shot by sub-machine gun during the incident) in SLA territory and another Irish soldier Private S. Griffin was shot by Haddad's men, and was medvaced to Israel where he subsequently died during medical treatment. The Israeli press at the time, particularly the Jerusalem Post, accused the Irish of pro-PLO bias. (Fisk, 152–154).

Palestinian factions also attacked UNIFIL, kidnapping an Irish UNIFIL soldier in 1981 and continuing to occupy areas in southern Lebanon.[15]

Hostilities continued, and as the Lebanese civil war escalated, the fighting intensified in the south again, with a second Israeli invasion in 1982 resulting in a 1982 flare-up that persisted over the next decade.

Resolution 425

UNIFIL road block in Lebanon, 1981

In 2000, the UN Security Council concluded that, as of June 16, 2000, Israel had withdrawn its forces from Lebanon in accordance with Resolution 425.[16]

Lebanon has not extended control over south Lebanon, though it was called on to do so by Resolution 1391 of 2002 and urged by Resolution 1496. Israel has lodged multiple complaints regarding Lebanon's conduct.[17]

Lebanon's claim that Israel has not fully withdrawn (see Shebaa Farms) was explicitly rejected by the UN's Secretary-General's report which led to Resolution 1583. The Syrian occupation of Lebanon led to UN Security Council Resolution 1559 demanding the remaining 14,000 (of 50,000 originally) Syrian troop withdrawal and the dismantling of Hezbollah and Palestinian militias. On April 26, 2005, after 29 years of Syrian military presence in Lebanon, the last of the Syrian troops withdrew in accordance with the resolution.

A September Update

Well, time for another update. Our magic door brought an unexpected resident to our humble home....a certain Lady Ginerva Gwendolyn La'Belle. It is really not supposed to go around picking up strangers and depositing them on our doorstep, but that door really does have a mind of its own sometimes. In this case, a good mind. Lady Ginerva was living with her little Mistress in France at the time of the revolution. Her family, including her little Mistress, were forced to flee their home from an angry mob one night. In the frenzy to escape, Lady Ginerva slipped from her little Mistress' hand. The angry mob burned the house and Lady Ginerva thought her end had come. As she lay there sobbing and calling hopelessly for help, our magic door must have somehow thought she was calilng it and popped in just in time to rescue her.
The poor dear was quite distraught, with losing her Mistress, her home, and even her own century. She has since taken over the upstairs room of the house, however.

She is slowly adjusting to our way of life and has taken to journaling all her adventures.

Speaking of adventures, our Mistress asked for volunteers to go on a mountain hike with her this weekend. I volunteered, along with tiny Hitty Penny.
I ended up being toted along in a little bag tied to my person's wrist (you can see my little bag in the picture). As we ascended up the mountain trail and people were few and far between, she tied my little bag to her walking stick and I could stick my head out and see the scenery. Too bad I don't have a picture of that...but my person's husband was laughing too hard to take one. I don't see dolls have to adjust to all sorts of situations and I thought it was quite a GOOD idea. Anyway, along the way, I looked for toadstools to sit on, as I have heard one can make a wish when sitting on a toadstool and it will come true. I decided it was worth a try. Many were too small for me to sit on.....

But I at last found one ample enough to accomodate me with no harm to myself or it.
I had quite a nice view of the mountain stream from this bridge...the ledge was quite large and safe enough to sit on.
We got closer to the water and my person's husband suggested a picture of me on a rock quite close to the river. Given the swift moving nature of the water, my person thankfully declined.

Along the way, we visited more lakes that were of a calmer nature.

As always, however, I was glad to return to my own little home at the end of the day.

Edmonton Oilers 2009 Draft Review

It was an interesting couple of draft days for the Oilers. I can't say I completely agree with all of Edmonton's selections, but like every draft, the picks begin to make more sense once you hear the rationale behind the decisions.

#10 - F Magnus Paajarvi Svensson:

I'm quite pleased with the choice of Paajarvi Svensson. There are some concerns, I suppose, with regards to the prospect's ability to finish, but it's hard to know what to make of that. His offensive numbers are fairly modest, but historically Swedish prospects don't generally have overwhelming totals as 18 year olds playing in the SEL, even the ones selected in the 1st round. Regularly playing in the SEL at 18 is pretty uncommon on its own. One promising sign was his production at tournaments within his age group.

I would have selected F Schroeder based on my list [and I kind of wonder about that having read Gare Joyce's comments in a thread on HF (comment #711)], but Paajarvi was 2nd on my list at that point so I'm not particularly disappointed with his selection. If one was picking using the THN draft preview top 100, the selection at 10 would also have been F Paajarvi, with Schroeder the 2nd highest prospect remaining on their list.

#40 - F Anton Lander:

At the time of the pick I was ambivalent, but I like the pick more as I hear and read more about Lander, which reminds me of the 2005 draft and Taylor Chorney. I am a fan of Lander, and in retrospect think I had him a bit low on my final list (he was #30 and #35 in two earlier versions). There were 2 players I consistently liked a little bit more, Werek and Morin. To be honest though I didn't really like anyone in this range significantly more than Lander, it was just one of those drafts where the guys in that range seemed, to me, like roughly equivalent prospects.

I'd have selected F Werek, and using the THN guide would have resulted in Edmonton drafting F Morin.

#71 - D Troy Hesketh:

I hadn't heard anything about this player before he was drafted. And to be honest, when he was drafted I mistakenly thought, for a minute or so, it was Seth Helgeson (THN #58) Edmonton had picked. My memory said, "Oh, a Matt Greene type", so I just figured they were looking for another Matt Greene-type prospect. It was only after I went to re-read his THN profile that I realized they had drafted a different player.

I actually like what I've read about Hesketh. It seems to have been a little bit early to select him, but they were worried other teams were interested and maybe they were. That said, I don't really like his projected timeline, which currently sits at one more year at Minnetonka, one year in the USHL, finally followed by starting college in 2011/12.

I'd have selected F Rajala in this spot, and the THN guide had G Roy as the BPA at this point. Interesting that both players were later selected by the Oilers anyways.

#82 - F Cameron Abney:

I really don't know what to make of this pick; the adage "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" comes to mind. On the surface it looks like a poor, at best, third round selection, given the other players available. They must see something in him to take him in the 3rd round, as it's hard to believe they'd take him this early if they project his upside as a 4th line fighter. Having read Guy Flaming's excellent Oilers draft review, it sounds like he's grown a bunch in the last couple of years, so they must anticipate huge improvement over the next 2 WHL seasons.

I would have selected F Alex Hutchings at 82, while following the THN draft guide would have seen Edmonton select a second goalie in Edward Pasquale. It may be pushing it to have a team pick a second goalie, but I'll do so for the purposes of this post. If the BPA were to be a goalie for any of THN's remaining picks, I'll skip him and take the next best available skater.

Abney's stat line: 48GP 1G 3A 4pts -17 (the team wasn't great, but this was still the seventh worst minus on the team)
Hutchings' stats: 63GP 34G 34A 68pts +27 (team leading, next highest player was +17)

Admittedly the two players are projected to have very different roles as pros, but it looks to me like Abney's got some serious ground to make up.

#99 - D Kyle Bigos:

I don't have a lot to say about Bigos, as I don't know much about him. I don't like his age or his projected timeline (similar to Hesketh, but Bigos has already played his 18 and 19 year old seasons), but he looks like a reasonable pick at this point due to his apparent late development. One advantage to selecting Bigos is the ability to stash him in the NCAA for a while and see what happens. Doesn't cost you any money to develop for the next couple of years or take up an AHL spot. His age at 20 is worrisome in the sense that if he pans out you're probably only going to get something like 4 years out of him before he's a UFA. Hopefully he'll turn out as well as the only other Oiler to be drafted in the 99 slot.

At this point the highest player left on my list was F Anton Burdasov, but I can't say with certainty I would have picked him. It depends if there was any indication he would prove to be signable going forward. That said, I'll say Burdasov (who actually went undrafted, which would seem to indicate there are signability concerns) would have been my pick at this point, while THN would have picked F Erik Haula.

#101 - F Toni Rajala:

Very happy with this pick, I think he was CLEARLY the BPA at this point in the draft. In fact, I think he was the BPA for at least a round by this point. I understand the size issues, and the concern over his willingness to go into traffic, but the reward is so much greater than most/all players at this point that I think the pick is a no-brainer. Very similar to the feel I got about Trukhno at the 2005 draft, in that I don't think Rajala necessarily fit what they were trying to do this draft but the potential upside was simply too great to pass on him at 101.

I would have already selected Rajala, so my pick at this point would have been D Tommi Kivisto. THN's pick would have been F David Gilbert.

#133 - G Olivier Roy:

I really like this pick, but I'm not sure I understand Tambellini when he said that part of the rationale for the Brodziak trade was their desire to draft Roy. I don't think that makes a lot of sense given that they could have selected Roy with the 4th round pick they acquired from MIN (Bigos) or their own 4th (Rajala). They liked him so much they took those two guys first and then waited a round to hope he was still there? I guess that's possible, but I think it's more likely that they liked a bunch of goalies fairly similarly, and wanted to take whichever one of them was highest on their list once they got to a certain point in the draft. And that turned out to be Olivier Roy.

I think the remaining goalies were pretty reasonable value at this point, Roy would have been my pick here as well. THN's next highest on their list was G Conz, who went undrafted, but already having two goalies using their list I'll skip him and move to the next available skater, which was F Burdasov.

EDM's picks:

F Paajarvi Svensson
F Lander
D Hesketh
F Abney
D Bigos
F Rajala
G Roy

speeds' picks:

F Schroeder
F Werek
F Rajala
F Hutchings
F Burdasov
D Kivisto
G Roy

THN's picks:

F Paajarvi
F Morin
G Roy
G Pascuale
F Haula
F Gilbert
F Burdasov

Having read Gare Joyce's comment, I am tempering my enthusiasm for Schroeder just a little bit. That said, of the two I still prefer Schroeder at this time, but perhaps the margin is a bit smaller than before I saw that quote. I did see another article about Schroeder that suggests a lack of confidence won't be a problem for him, and while his "confidence" shines through it doesn't read quite the same way Joyce's comments do. I do wonder a little bit how much editorializing has gone on in each instance, not with Joyce necessarily but maybe how the information was passed along to Joyce, if he wasn't in the room for the interview.

Overall I'm quite pleased EDM was able to land Paajarvi, Lander, Rajala, and Roy. The others weren't players I would really have considered at the point they were drafted, but I am hoping they work out nonetheless. I think the two defenseman are more likely to pan out than the F, but I'll hope I'm wrong and all three become NHL contributors.

Lowetide said...

speeds: MPS scored his points as a 17-year old, Omark was much older when he did the same thing (he was drafted at 20).

PDO said...

LT beat me to the Omark thing... great write up though.

That Gare Joyce comment is a doozy. Suppose he'll fit right in in Vancouver ;)

speeds said...

Thanks for the heads up, it is now corrected/removed!

Deano said...

I agree with your conclusions about the Hesketh, Bigos and Abney picks. I hope that the dman magic is there but there had to be other choices available that do not have as much 'assembly required' as these 3 giants.

I wonder if the scouts were so overjoyed at Magnum PS dropping to them at #10 that they did jello shots until the wee hours and their heads did not clear until the Rajala pick.

speeds said...

I went back and changed the second last paragraph, having found another story about Schroeder, hopefully that adds a bit of balance with regards to Schroeder.

Scott said...

Good review Speeds. I really didn't like the way the Oilers went about getting the #99 pick, but I did like the pick itself. Bigos has really improved and it's probably somewhat easier to project a 20 y/o than an 18 y/o. As such, taking guys that have already passed through the draft in the later rounds doesn't really bother me. Other than the third round (and the Minnesota trade) I thought they did really well.

SumOil said...

I was high on Budish. Wanted him over Anton. However, listening to Anton's interviews and reading articles about him, I am happy with that pick. I am unsure and unhappy about Abney and Bigos. We could have had Richard Panik instead of either of them.
Also as Lowetide mentioned, MPS was 17 when he played in SEL, which is impressive in itself. MPS was on my dreamlist and I was sure either TOR or OTT would take him.

dawgbone said...

One of those things that always needs to be considered is who else is in the building with you.

If you see a kid 9 or 10 times and you see familiar scouting faces in the crowd constantly, it's going to make you take him a little bit earlier.

The Hesketh pick falls under this category.

hogwarts grounds are a vast expanse of mountainous lands, surrounded by a neighboring forest. from its scenic lake, trimmed lawns, and many more historical areas, there is always something new to be discovered at hogwarts. the quidditch pitch is also a very frequented area to visit at hogwarts, where matches are held during the term.

the lake is to the south of the castle, while the front doors leading to the giant fortress face generally to the west, flanked by pillars on which stand statues of winged boars. a road runs around the lake to the village of hogsmeade, where the railway station is located. the grounds are quite extensive, taking in the large forbidden forest with enough open space that folks in the castle hardly ever notice what might be lurking within those clearings of creeping vines, tendrils, and towering trees.

Celebrating the Christmas Season PDF Print E-mail

Celebrating the Christmas Season

The Christmas season begins as the sun sets on December 24th and concludes with sunset on the feast of the Baptism of the Lord. This year the Christmas season ends at sundown on Sunday January 13, 2013.

Throughout the liturgical season of Christmas our Church celebrates the many ways that God is made present in our midst and world. In our parish and families we are invited to celebrate the full season of Christmas.

Some suggestions for celebrating Christmas beyond December 25th are: sing a verse or refrain of a favourite Christmas carol before the evening meal; call or visit a family member who lives a distance from your home; pray for peace in our homes, community and world; at meal time talk about the many ways you see God each day; walk through your neighbourhood and enjoy the lights and decorations.

Prayer for the Christmas Season

Before your family meal light a candle and then prayer together the following.

Leader:         Let us offer God praise and thanksgiving.

                   U All make the sign of the cross

Leader:         Rise up in splendour, Jerusalem!

All:               The glory of the Lord shines upon you.

Leader:         God’s holy day has dawned for us at last.

All:               Come, all you people, and adore the Lord.

Bless us, O Lord, and these your gifts which we are about to receive from your goodness, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

On December 30, 2012 we will celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family. We shall have hospitality after all Sunday (Saturday at 5 pm) Masses. The Knights of Columbus of Holy Family Parish are sponsoring a free skate for all families and parishioners from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. with free hot chocolate and donuts, compliments of Tim Hortons. Please join us at the Albion Community Centre as we celebrate the feast of the Holy Family.

On January 1 the Church celebrates the Feast of Mary the Mother of God and Word Day of Prayer for Peace. Our Church calls us to come and worship God on January 1st. This holy day of obligation celebrates Mary as the Mother of God and we are called to pray for peace in our world. In our families it is appropriate to include a prayer for peace in our family, community and world.

We are reminded of Pope John Paul II message for the World Day of Peace in 1979, “Do not be afraid to take a chance on peace, to teach peace. Work for peace… Peace will be the last word of history.”

On January 6th we will celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord. During the week before we celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord we can talk about how our family is a sign of God’s loving presence.

Irrespective of investing countless several hours into every one, I built a lot of errors, and I eventually had to shut the blogs down. I didn’t earn a penny from them.

A trader or investor would have acquired the inventory at a cheaper price and considering that the company has a greater value (bigger priced stock) it makes somebody money.

It really is true that a lot of beginners gravitate towards advertisements, that is definitely the commonest reaction It appears. The reverse funnel is genius also. Once more, thank you.

Student politicians: busted

Samuel Chu on stupol’s false promises to Cumbo

Karpaty Credit Union in Lidcombe provides many important services to the local community, including personal banking and insurance. Another, less-celebrated service it provides is sheltering the hordes of USyd students who wait in line for the M92 bus.

“The M92? I never see that bus name around City Road!”, the casual reader might exclaim. That casual reader would be correct, as this bus is only found near USyd’s Cumberland campus. It is the only full-day operational service linking “Cumbo” to the outside world. But it wasn’t always like this.

As the Sydney University Physiotherapy Society’s orientation guide explains, “previously, a dedicated shuttle bus ferried students to and from Lidcombe Station every 10-15 minutes, all day long. This shuttle bus ran in conjunction with the M92 service… Then Transport NSW ceased operation of the dedicated shuttle bus, presumably because it was not cost-effective”.

Cost-effectiveness. Understandable, but unsurprising.

“But nothing new for Cumbo, which, in the eyes of student politicians, is viewed as a dispensable pawn.”

In response, waves of prospective SRC councillors have pledged to reinstate the shuttle. In 2012, Isabelle King promised to “stand up” for the return of a free shuttle bus, going so far as to propose a 30-minute shuttle between Cumberland and Camperdown. In 2014, another ticket, #CumboRepresent, campaigned with a mandate to improve Cumbo’s general availability of services, including the provision of “FREE regular Lidcombe station shuttle buses”.

One of the ticket members, Elizabeth Li, outlines their success: “We were able to push to get the [late-night] shuttle buses to start at 5:30pm”, instead of their prior starting time of 6:30pm.

A lofty election promise. A paltry outcome. But nothing new for Cumbo, which, in the eyes of student politicians, is viewed as a dispensable political pawn. A Zoe Barnes to their Frank Underwood. If harnessed correctly, the campus represents hundreds of uncontested votes. As an added bonus, Cumbo’s students are geographically removed and overwhelmingly uninitiated in stupol. More often than not, they do not understand the positions being contested, or even what different student organisations do. All this naivety means there is no holding to account on the pipe-dreams sold to them during elections.

Cumberland deserves better. Candidates should take a genuine, not tokenistic view of this satellite campus, which comprises 10 per cent of the student population. They wouldn’t spin such abject lies to stupol-savvy main campus folk, why should they be allowed to get away with it at Cumbo? This is not just another case of student politicians making promises they can’t keep. It’s a chronic, concerted attack on the uninitiated that needs to be addressed, with regulations if necessary.

I got a much welcomed call from Jen (thanks for calling girl) tonight. It was so great talking to her. Because my dad was in the military I moved a lot growing up and never had the privilege of having friendships that spanned more than a few years. I met Jen just before starting junior high when we were 14 years old. We clicked right away as we were so grateful to meet someone as tall as each other . The rest of the late bloomers finally caught up to us, by that time we were already fast friends. Just as our friendship became inseparable I moved to Florida, but we've always stayed in touch, being in each others weddings etc. Now, we both have two boys 3 years apart in age and each have a "Jake" that we are madly in love with. We both vowed to talk more often and as soon as I got off the phone I programed her number into my cell phone.....I'll call soon.

I also heard from Melissa, another friend I haven't heard from in awhile and we made plans to meet for dinner Thursday night to catch up. I love a good girls night out!

Here's to girl friends.

Week 2

I'm fighting the munchies a little more as I start week 3, but I did great last week and dropped another 2 pounds. That's 3 1/2 pounds I don't have to drag 13.1 miles! I'm now up to a 2 mile run which isn't as hard as I thought it would be. I have to be able to run 3 miles before I can start on an official training program. I invested in a pair of running shoes. I read about people loosing toe nails if they weren't in a good shoe. Ouch! And did you know guys have to lube up their nipples before a marathon because they'll bleed from the rubbing against their shirt. Yikes.

Brown Rice and Black Bean Casserole

Made this for dinner tonight...yum! I switched the swiss for mozzarella and used 1 cup instead of 2 to cut the fat/calories. Will definitely make this again!

A Baby Is Born

One of my dearest and oldest friends, Jen had a beautiful baby boy this morning at 8:58 a.m. Litte Jake weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz., 21" long. Jen and baby are doing well. Brother Luke is thrilled to have a baby brother.

Week One

I limited my sugar to a few dark chocolate chips a day and one splurge of chocolate cake Saturday night. I didn't have to fight off the craving too bad. The dark chocolate seemed to be just enough to satisfy me. I'm not a dark chocolate fan so I didn't want to keep on eating and eating.

Once I made the decision to run the half marathon I threw in a few short runs in between my walking on the treadmill. The first day I tried it I could only get in 2 minutes before I thought I would pass out. The next day I slowed the pace and made it 3 minutes. This morning I slowed the pace just a bit more and made it an entire mile before I had to go back to walking. I walk/ran another 2 miles after that. I'm so proud of myself. I can walk all day long, but running is a challenge.

I watched The Biggest Loser for the first time over the weekend. I was so pumped up after watching one episode. I also realized I wasn't pushing myself hard enough.

I weighed in this morning. Only a 1.5 pound loss, but I'm optimistic if I work hard enough it will keep coming off.

Best Buddies

Nate and Olivia

My mom watch the boys and Olivia today so Cheryl and I could go to lunch with Jen P., who was in town. It was great to be out to lunch with the girls. So relaxing.
Olivia will have major ear surgery in Tampa on Thursday for a congenital disorder called cholesteatoma . I know she'll do great and I look forward to hearing the news it was a success and she's back home.
I registered for the half marathon today. Cheryl is going to run/walk it with me and hopefully together we can motivate each other across the finish line. Cheryl's husband runs marathons so he's helping us get ready. I'm nervous, but really excited. I have a lot of work to do.

Lost Tooth

Nate lost his first tooth! It's been loose for awhile, but yesterday seemed to be holding on by a thread. He takes after his great-grandmother and Uncle Will, hates the site of blood and a splinter sends him over the edge. As soon as we started talking about the Tooth Fairy his patients with the tooth wore thin and the wanted it out NOW. We weren't about to try any of the stunts we all tried as kids to get it out thinking he might pass out so we told him if he wanted it out he'd have to pull it out himself. Before we could blink he grabbed hold of it and out it came. He was wide eyed and shocked, just holding it in his hand before slowly letting it fall from his fingers onto the bed. Jake and I started cheering, not even believing what he had just done. It took him a minute to celebrate with us. We took a look into his mouth to see the now open space along with some blood. Jake played it very cool and told him he should drink some water. I was praying the little bit of blood wouldn't trickle from his mouth or get on his hand or we might have real trouble on our hands. He drank his water and proudly smiled into the mirror....no blood in site...relief. He promptly made phone calls to his Nana, Gran and girl-friend Olivia to share the news. It was priceless.

Meanwhile I picked up the tiny tooth examining it. I was happy and sad all at the same time. I remember so clearly when that tooth made it's debut. The excitement of that first baby tooth.....now the excitement of loosing it.

5 Years Later.........

I've been thinking long and hard about how to raise money for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and also about how I would celebrate my 5 year mark. I think I found the answer to both. I know I couldn't run an entire marathon, but what about a half marathon? I tossed around the idea, then researched to see if there was one in my area. Goose bumps rose up on my arms when I found out a local marathon and half marathon is held on November 25, 2007....5 years to the day that I lost my breast to cancer and 5 days before I celebrate my 35th birthday. So, I think I'm going to take the new ta-tas for a run!

Free Movie

Nate spent the night with Jake's mom last night so Jake and I got a reminder of what it was like to only have one child. We went out to eat and found ourselves holding a conversation while Reese ate and played at the table. It was amazingly quiet. After diner we went by the pet store to get Reese another fish. Since starting our aquarium 3 weeks ago Reese is on fish number 3. Hopefully this one will live more than a few days. It's a tough little fish because it managed to survive Reese dropping the bag he was in before we even left the store.

This morning I took Reese to see Shrek 2, one of the free summer movies at our theater. It was great just hanging out the two of us. He asked me twice during the movie if it was over. I was hoping he'd make it though the entire thing because I was getting into it and really wanted to know how it ended. I'm happy to report we made it. After the movie we hopped into one of those photo booths which I've always loved. Seems like such a classic summer thing to do.

Things I Fantasize About...

1. Having abs like the women on workout commercials.

2. Having a job (outside of being a stay-at-home-mom) that I'm passionate about.

3. Living debt-free

4. The kids getting up on a Saturday morning playing/watching TV and pouring their own bowl of cereal so Jake and I can sleep in.

5. Taking a photography or cooking class.

6. Learning ball room dancing with Jake.

7. Adopting a child.

Tuesday, July 17, 2007

I hopped on the scale for the first time in awhile and was VERY disappointed to see a gain (again). I'm still on the treadmill so either my muscles are really getting heavy or my sugar addiction is out of control. I'm guessing the later......so an official ban of sugar is in order. I'll report in on what the scale says next week.
The ACS (American Cancer Society) called again today...inviting me to represent the Reach to Recovery program at a conference in September. It sounded exciting and I'm so honored they keep thinking about me. There is some sort of question/answer/presentation thingy, but it didn't sound too scary. They are paying for hotel, food etc. for me to go. I think I'll suck up the public speaking fear and go for it. This could be a great opportunity to get more involved.
Jake grew a goatee after is trip to CA last month. I thought it looked really good, but I just couldn't get used to the prickly hair. He shaved last night, all except the mustache, came around the corner like all was normal and then the mustache jumped out at me. HORRIFYING! It was so unbelievably creeping looking, we both broke out into the crying laugh. He kept it all night. I couldn't look at him without laughing. Thank goodness he shaved that nasty thing off this morning.

More Ta-ta Talk

I know I've been doing more than my share of ta-ta blogging lately, but you have to read this! Hilarious!

Back to School Fever

I've always loved back to school season....shopping for school supplies, breaking out the warm clothes, that feeling that fall is just around the corner. OK, so it's still going to be months before we feel even a hint of fall weather in Florida, but I can fantasize for now.

We were in Target yesterday and let the boys pick out lunch boxes. Nate is being very selective for once and is still shopping for just the right lunch box, but Reese plucked a Cars lunch box off the shelf in no time. As Jake and I were heading off to bed last night we passed the lunch box sitting on the kitchen counter. We both paused......trying to grasp that our littlest owns a lunch box and is heading off the pre-school. I have happy and sad feelings all at once.

It didn't help that we had just watched Alpha Dog and HATED the ending! Made us so happy that our kids were upstairs, tucked in and safe from the world.

Making Strides

I've started my campaign for the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk coming up this October. Thanks to a huge response my team raised over $7,000 last year! This year our goal is $10,000 and I need a strategy to get there. Have any ideas? I was thinking of something like: If we reach our goal I'd....run a marathon, shave my head, flash my new ta-tas to the highest donor etc. Of course I have thought of every possible idea except something I'd actually follow through and do. I'm not athletic enough to think I could possibly run a marathon, too vein to be bald again and too modest to be a flasher. Back to the think tank......

Presidential Candidates

Found this cool link from Stacy. See which candidate best matches you.

Wednesday, July 11, 2007

I've been asked to be a speaker at the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk kickoff event. This could be really cool...if public speaking didn't cause me such anxiety. This is the second time I've been asked. The first time was with very little notice so they were not shocked I declined.

As the kids get older and head off to school I've fantasized about what great things I could do with my time. Working with the American Cancer Society is on my list so it burns me up to pass on this. I just can't bring myself to add the stress this would cause. Am I a wimp?

Now I have the unfortunate task of calling them back, divulge my public speaking weakness and then offer to help in some other way. Bummer.

Saturday, July 7, 2007

Years ago, before Jake and I had kids we were out with a couple who had two girls around pre-school age. At one point during the evening the mother commented on her children's whining......how it drives her crazy. I thought she was being harsh because I hadn't noticed the whining. Fast forward..........to me with a 5 and 2 year old. I CAN NOT STAND THE WHINING! If you've got something to say, say it, but don't whine! It grinds at every nerve Jake and I have. I assume at some point in child development this stops, right..........oh, please tell me it stops?

Fevery 4th

We took the kids to their first parade for the 4th. It was so much fun we plan on doing it again next year. Adam is in town for some of his summer break so we all got together at our house for some grilling and swimming. Reese wasn't acting like himself and we later realized he had a fever...poor guy. We had plans to go to Islands of Adventure today, but Reese woke up with a fever so he and I stayed behind. He was so upset he was missing out. I've bribed him with a trip to the toy store, but he hasn't taken me up on it yet. Maybe he'll feel up for it later as I can feel a bit of cabin fever coming on myself and it's only 9am!

I've been thinking about going through the entire house and getting rid of stuff we don't need or want anymore. I'm not sure I have enough for a garage sale, have too much to post all of it on Freecycle and not sure I just want to donate it. A garage sale would be good for the boys because I think it will be very hard for them to just "give away" their stuff. I've never had a garage sale. Is it more trouble than it's worth?
