That's a great informal interview, almost like listening in on two old friends. I wish it was video recorded interview instead of written though, would like to see the mannerisms and gesticulations that accompany the comments from Joaquin

I have been trying to log in for the past 12hours, finally ! Admin, there was a problem, it wouldn't even show the forum main page. I didn't know how to tell you! Well, I'm glad it's fixed now. I was dying to comment on this interview. It helps so much to understand him. As a fan I appreciate that ! I will be back during the weekend. I want to say more .. For now , Joaquin : Your fans stand beside you, doesn't matter what the press says! We know what really matters :)
Hi Sami,
Nice to see you! Yes, the forums been up, down, up, down, up, down unfortunately.
I've been on to the hosting company. hopefully they'll show some competence and get it resolved.
I had trouble viewing the forum last night too. A page came up saying there had been a serious error loading the forum and to contact the administrator if it kept happening. Glad you're on the case, Admin.

Joaquin's comment about the Oscars (or rather, a snippet of all that Joaquin has to say about the Oscars) has been in a lot of the press and media here. Not front-page news but a mention nonetheless. I think it's a brilliant interview. There's a lot to take in and digest though and I need to read it again but I'm sure there's something I'd like to say and will do.
Btw: I think the accompanying photo is just wonderful. Joaquin's face looks so elastic and pliable as if it's made of putty.
From comments on the the internet from people who read the interview it appears Joaquin has lots of support for his views on The Oscars. I personally agree with the sentiment of his message, it really is just an annual soulless, backslapping, hyped up dog and pony show to keep the masses distracted for another day when they should really be interested in other things in their own lives. People have allowed "the powers that be" to use entertainment to take up far too much of their lives (the old Roman empire bread and circuses technique).
Anyway, it would be great now to see Joaquin nominated for an Oscar and to win it, it would just be an interesting situation to see now after Joaquin's comments... i bet he'd handle it great!

I agree w you, it's bread and circus. I agree w Joaquin too. For an artist who uses his/her heart , his/her work is so personal , it's a part of themselves . To take that and put it in a context where it can win or loose its a huge stress and a nonsense. Art shouldn't be competitive because it's based on creativity and there aren't rights or wrongs or better than.. It's so artificial! Why do we let it happen?
I love the interview because he pretty much answered every question I had as of lately !
The racism comments surprised me. I didnt know he's sensitive to that. I noticed the same when I go to the movies and I wonder how black people must feel. In any case, the Latino cliche is even worse than the African-American. They're portrayed as criminals very often . What about the Muslim cliche? Ok let's not go there !
His comment about the 13 year old girl .. It surprised me. Sometimes I feel guilty for having what I have and I feel selfish , others I envy other people bec they had it better .. There is always a worse and a better . This girl , at least she has food, a roof, and she has both hands . Think about children in Syria, other countries , how many of them are being killed as we speak ? If you start thinking this way you can't live . Having the opportunity to live and not doing so when others would gladly live and can't, would be a crime. This is the way I look at it.
I understand about $20M .. If I had it I would be thinking about it all the time .
Joy, I like the pic too. The interview is very controversial so I think the pic fits very well. He could easily get punched by someone for his words ! (Not me)

Well, ppl are saying he will win the Oscar anyway . What do you think? I think he will win it too. Perhaps once you see the movie you'll know for sure
Hi Admin & Sami,
Joaquin says "It was one of the most uncomfortable periods of my life when 'Walk the Line' was going through all the awards stuff and all that. I never want to have that experience again." In that case, I hope the Academy respects his feelings and doesn't nominate him, no matter how deserving he is of a nomination or an award. None of this will spoil my going to see the film – I'm still looking forward to it! But I don't think I would get any enjoyment out of seeing any photos or footage if he is persuaded to participate in all the awards stuff after all, now that I know how he feels and how uncomfortable he would be. I respect that he's tasted that carrot once and doesn't want to taste it again.
The racism comments surprised me. I didnt know he's sensitive to that.
I don't recall Joaquin ever bringing this subject up in interviews before but maybe because the subject has been on his mind lately (the film meeting and his experience with the kids) and the guy interviewing him is black, Joaquin just felt comfortable enough to discuss what had happened.
Something I read about Will Smith a few years back came to mind:
Will Smith claims he was forbidden from kissing Cameron Diaz on screen because of American racism. The actor said Hollywood panders to the nation's problem of seeing a black man and white woman getting intimate and stopped the co-stars kissing in new movie 'Hitch'. To avoid controversy, Smith says he smooched Latin beauty Eva Mendes instead. The 36-year-old 'Men in Black' star said: "How are you not going to consider Cameron Diaz? But Hollywood is nervous about a black man kissing a white woman on screen. "That becomes massive news in the US. Outside America, it's no big deal. But in the US, it's still a racial issue. Ironically, Hollywood is happy to do it if the film is about racism. But they won't simply do it and ignore it."
I understand about $20M .. If I had it I would be thinking about it all the time.
I'd spend it! I'll leave you to imagine what I'd spend it on though. I'd like to think I was strong enough to handle having that kind of money but it's easy to say that when you don't have it and I'm sure it would come with all sorts of other stuff which is alien to my life atm. Seems to me that Joaquin knows how seductive to the ego it would all be.
I think it's sad that Joaquin is unable to enjoy films because, like a magician, he knows everything that happens. I really like (some) old black & white films and sometimes it's pretty damn obvious that the characters are not in a car driving along a real road, for example, but that doesn't spoil my enjoyment of the film because I'm able to suspend disbelief and enjoy the dialogue or story. One of the perks of being a film-goer rather than an actor, I guess.
And how! (me neither)
About ISH: I was sceptical about the reality of it all from the start, wondering if it was going to be 'Spinal Rap' or something along those lines. I had it in my head that perhaps some of it was Joaquin's way of making a statement about the media regarding what had happened to him when his brother died and the emergency call was broadcast everywhere. I mean, up to the point where Joaquin 'retired' and started on his rap 'career' practically everything written about him, interviews he gave, etc., would mention the phone call. Joaquin even spoke about it when he came out of rehab after filming 'Walk the Line':
"You know, the press has kind of imposed upon me the title of Mourning Brother, and because I haven't been vocal about it, the assumption is that I'm holding onto this (stuff) that's just not there."
On another occasion he said:
"When my brother passed it was toward the end of an era. If it had happened much later, it would have been on a lot of fucking blogs. The amount of information flying back and forth now has just gone beyond comprehension… In some ways it's hard to swallow. It makes you feel sick about yourself and about human beings. You look at yourself and say, 'When have I exploited others and been voyeuristic?' The thing we should be discussing in the news, what the media should be going after in a heartless way, isn't the family of somebody who has passed away, but instead – oh, I don't know – how about a president who's lying? That's not to say my brother's life didn't have value, but it certainly did not deserve to be covered more than world politics and other important issues, particularly when death happens every day to millions of people all over the world and we don't seem to give a fuck about that."
So, I was thinking to myself whilst all that rap stuff was going on and the whole thing was going nuts in the media (blogs, message boards, social media and fan forums included) and we were watching it unfold, that Joaquin was manipulating (for want of another word) things in such a way that from now on, this is what he would be remembered for, and not the phone call. I didn't think it was the sole reasoning behind ISH and the rap stuff, but that it was in there somewhere.
When I went to see the film I knew it wasn't 'real'. But there was one scene where Joaquin cries off camera and I felt that was the only real thing in the entire film and hearing him cry like that was just too much for me. It was that part which I felt like punching him for. Not because he was crying but because of the phone call. The thing is, unlike some fans I've not heard that phone call and never have had any desire whatsoever to hear it. Not even a smidgeon of curiosity to listen to it. I can't adequately explain what happened with that scene and its effect on me and I can't explain how I felt either. It's one of those things where you feel something, like being in love for example, but just can't express it in words. You just know that you feel something and the whole thing makes sense in that feeling. Wanting to punch Joaquin was because he 'made' me feel the way I did at that time. That I had heard something private that I shouldn't have. After all, he cried off camera, not on.
Whilst I'm on the subject….I'm not the best Joaquin fan in the world but no one could ever say anything to me that could justify the release and broadcast of that phone call. It was a gross breach of professional conduct by the emergency services and a gross breach of caller confidentiality. This whole thing fills me with rage! Livid!
Think what you like about me. I know my reaction to the crying in the film was irrational but everyone else seems to be getting things off their chests lately as far as Joaquin's concerned and this has been on mine for a long time, so why not me now? If you're reading this Joaquin, please understand that it's not my intention to cause offence to you.

I just read your post. I don't think you are bad fan , silly you !! There is no such thing :) i just want to tell u to remember that ish was an act. He wasn't really crying.
I didn't listen the phone call either and I don't want to . I agree, it's a horrible thing to do , the snooping on other people's private life, specially after something like this happens. It would be interesting to study why humans do such things, this would be a PHD topic in itself!
Listen, i spoke my mind about the interview and i just mentioned the topics I would argue, but there are other things he said that I loved. The way he approaches acting for example .. . I think Joaquin has a lot of integrity !!
I love the fact that he is sticking for his actions and words. When he did ISH I thought he would try to pretend like it didn't happen and continue doing films like before , but he isn't doing that. He is making a statement and he isn't backing down . I love it.
Punch- Drunk-Love
I wanna punch Joaquin too !
I would give away most of the money to influence the world . I would invest it in projects that helped people and protected the environment. Then I would give money to all my family members and then I would keep some for my savings. I thought about it already . I would get rid of a big chunk of money as fast as possible !!!

I would pay to upgrade the hosting of this forum to be on a better server, so it's not up and down like a yo-yo (BTW, i'm still getting on to the hosting company, i will prevail!)

I agree with you in that it would be wrong for Joaquin to be persuaded to go to the Oscars. Imagine he's nominated and he has to go, knowing the way he feels, it would be excruciating to watch. Thanks for making me see it this way !
Another proof Oscars are a joke: Annette Benning didn't win it last year for The Kids are Alright. Instead Natalie Portman won it for the Black Swan. Always pretty young female wins. If we follow this logic you need to feel bad for Brad Pitt. You can tell he would have really liked to get one. He's showed up almost every year for his nominations, always faithful and believing and he's never got it. I think the academy likes to nominate him because of his celebrity status and the buzz he generates. I would give him one just for perseverance.
Thanks for this quote. It's a shame that a black man can't kiss a white woman in a movie. What is really revealing is that they would let it happen if the movie was about "racism" but not if the movie was just regular.. This shows the hypocrisy.. like "yes, we really mean it"
My city is very divers but it's very segregated. In contrast, I remember that my first impression of London was how cosmopolitan it looked. I saw a lot of of mixed couples in the street. In the USA I rarely see it.
My guess: You would spend the money in a big garden and a greenhouse. Perhaps even build a landscaping company ! You'd also trvel to Indonesia to look for exotic plants
Regarding Joaquin, I think it's very sweet of him to not want the money. Just think about it, he can actually have it but he chooses not to. This alone, WOW ...
Yes,I know what you mean, you end up suggesting yourself to believe it's true. I do that to with old films as well. They have this sweet naivety to them.
Joaquin said in the interview that sometimes he manages to forget about the process and just enjoy the film when it's a really good one.
I will continue with the rest of your message another time. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts Joy. I hope you don't mind all the going back and forth !

Admin, thank you so much for taking care of this problem
From comments on the the internet from people who read the interview it appears Joaquin has lots of support for his views on The Oscars.
... it really is just an annual soulless, backslapping, hyped up dog and pony show to keep the masses distracted for another day when they should really be interested in other things in their own lives.
WELL SAID I have fallen for it many times too. I am trying to not watch TV shows.. It's hard not to !! It's like a drug
People have allowed "the powers that be" to use entertainment to take up far too much of their lives (the old Roman empire bread and circuses technique).
Yes, I agree, in general we have been numb for a long time. Lots of people still are. For a long time we were just a piece for the machine to work. I believe In part, we are breaking the patterns thanks to the internet. There is more information, and not just one source but many sources. People can talk about the news, and can actually spread the news.. It's fantastic. There is so much potential and creativity. I learned to think for myself online, not in school or in my own family. I owe this to the internet !
I don't think Joaquin would show up if he won .. Do you think he would contradict himself like that? He said he doesn't care at all !
It will be def. very interesting to see what happens with all , it's a bit messy right now.
Last year, The Artist won so many prizes and everybody was saying the Academy was going through a big crisis.. YAWN .. Maybe it's time they start re-thinking the whole thing, opening it up to the new generation.. all the films that didn't get nominated, many indie films that should've made it... Whatever, because we don't care in here, right?
#16 Posted : Wednesday, October 24, 2012 5:06:50 AM(UTC)
Hello both!
i just want to tell u to remember that ish was an act. He wasn't really crying.
Like I said, I can't explain it properly.
I remember reading an interview with Joaquin just before 'Reservation Road' came out. There was some speculation as to whether he would be drawing on his own experience during the filming of the scenes when Joaquin's character discovers his son at the side of the road after he's been run over. Joaquin said sonmething along the lines of not needing to use his own experiences because he gets into the character's character and imagines it from their perspective. So, I get that with his acting.
Poor Joaquin. Maybe we should buy him one of those boxing head protectors for his birthday. What do you think? Speaking of which...how do you and Admin feel about wishing Joaquin a happy birthday on the forum? On the one hand it seems a bit mad since he's not here and we don't really know him but on the other hand the forum is for all things Joaquin and it is his birthday on Sunday...
Well, if Joaquin is nominated he could always do a Woody Allen and stay at home and play his clarinet. Let's see what happens.
Annette Bening was very good in 'The Kids are Alright'. Both she and Julianne Moore are intelligent actresses. I haven't seen 'Black Swan' so can't compare N. Portman's performance but it wouldn't surprise me if Annette lost out because of her age. There is another reason it may have gone to Natalie though. Is it just a coincidence that she was (is?) the face of 'Miss Dior' when this happened in the run-up to the Oscars?
http://fashion.telegraph...r-anti-semitic-rant.html
And that this happened after she won?
http://fashion.telegraph...aks-out-on-Galliano.html
No dis-respect or anything intended but it does make me wonder. And I wonder about why certain other Oscars have been given sometimes: has it always been about the performance or direction, etc? Yes, they are a joke, but then again, they're not...
Joaquin was invited to join the Academy around the time of WTL – I wonder if he did join so he could cast his vote? If he did join, has he now resigned his membership? I'm wondering if his statement about the Oscars has more to it than talking about the Oscars we see as the audience.
As for Brad Pitt…..they'll probably give him an Oscar one day for a film and performance that's not up to much but as a kind of compensation for all the near misses.
It's like it can only happen if there's a social or political message to it. Why not in a regular rom-com film? Would it be offensive to both groups? Would people really be so offended in the US or would it be the media which would create the idea that it's offensive and therefore a lot of people would think that it was? If you know what I mean?
It's a fairly common sight in lots of British cities and towns.
Good guess! I wouldn't travel to Indonesia looking for exotic plants. I'd stick with my roots and build on projects involving the environment and medicine.
Or gritty realism if you watch some of the old British films from the 50s & 60s. The times and technology were different back then.
Oh yes. Like 'Step Brothers'.
Not at all. It's good exercise.
Good one, Admin!
I learned on the internet what 'bread & circuses' meant. Good points.
Let's see what happens and then we will see how real it is. I actually feel a bit scared for him because the suits in the industry have a lot of power I think and I'd hate to think he'd got himself involved in some kind of power struggle with them.
*ring ring* Joaquin answers the phone. Suit yells "You're going!" "No I'm not!" "Yes you are! We've got millions invested in this fucking film and you're one of the stars so put the tux on and comb your hair! The heavies are on the way now" "I'm not fucking going! It's all bullshit!" Joaquin paces the floor chain-smoking and staring at the tux draped over a chair. A car screeches to a halt outside then the door crashes off its hinges as 2 very tall and broad heavies rush into the room. Joaquin tries to make a run for it but the heavies are on to him. One holds Joaquin down as the other puts the tux on over his shirt and jeans. The boots will have to stay as they are because time is running short. Joaquin is still struggling screaming "Motherfuckers!!!! I'm not going!" The heavies stand him up on his feet. One of them pulls something shiny out of his pocket, flicks it open and motions towards Joaquin's face with it. The heavy snarls. He runs the comb through Joaquin's hair, slicking it back across his forehead and untangling the knots. The other heavy clips a bow tie to Joaquin's shirt collar. "You're ready. Get in the car!" "I'm not fucking going!" The heavies throw Joaquin into the car and lock the doors. The car screeches off to the Oscars. Everyone is waiting excitedly to see if Joaquin will show up or not. The dresses are on form. Brad Pitt has his hand in his pocket touching the yellowing notepaper of his acceptance speech. Fierce debates have been raging for months about whether Joaquin will or won't attend. Fingers have been frantically typing and mouths frothing. TV newsrooms have cleared their schedules to follow the story. The CRAP news helicopter has been tracking the car and the reporter relays the details back to the newsroom. It's an exclusive! In the car the heavies are giving Joaquin the look. "You're an actor. So get the fuck out there and act like you've never acted before! We'll be watching you." The heavies' eyes narrow and their lips curl in a menacing grimace.
Joaquin is shaking. The car door opens and the red carpet looms. He's here!! A million flash bulbs go off. Over here Joaquin! Over here Joaquin! More fierce debates rage about Joaquin's appearance. "Dude, u look lik some guy pinned u 2 the floor and dragged that tux onto you!" "He looks awesome!" "OMG! He's wearing the scuffed boots with a tux! Cool!" "George Clooney wouldn't eva wear scuffed boots!" Joaquin is halfway along the red carpet behind the latest starlet who's smiling brightly into her I-phone for a photo to tweet. Over here Joaquin! Joaquin moves towards the voice of CRAP TV's celebrity reporter. "You came! How does it feel to be here?" Joaquin looks towards the car at the end of the red carpet. The heavies are looking back at Joaquin. Camera pans in to close up of Joaquin's face.
Think I could get a job as a scriptwriter?
Sorry about all the swearing, Admin, but I wanted it to sound realistic.
Well, I think we'd care if Joaquin was nominated but he hadn't said what he'd said about the Oscars. Because then we'd be rooting for him and hoping he'd win. Then we'd either be glad or sad whichever way it turned out. Now, I'm actually relieved that he's come clean because it takes the pressure off me feeling like I have to be into the whole Oscars thing when deep down I'm actually not. I mean, I'd be pleased and proud for him to win if it meant something to him but he says it doesn't so I'm happy with that.

Hi Joy
Poor Joaquin. Maybe we should buy him one of those boxing head protectors for his birthday. What do you think?
I think he would enjoy it
Speaking of which...how do you and Admin feel about wishing Joaquin a happy birthday on the forum? On the one hand it seems a bit mad since he's not here and we don't really know him but on the other hand the forum is for all things Joaquin and it is his birthday on Sunday...
If you start a Birthday wish I will tag along. I'm sure Admin is fine with it.
Yes, let's see ! Joaquin always keeps you on the edge of your sit.
There is another reason it may have gone to Natalie though. Is it just a coincidence that she was (is?) the face of 'Miss Dior' when this happened in the run-up to the Oscars?
WOW. that's disgusting. This Galliano guy is a pig !
No dis-respect or anything intended but it does make me wonder. And I wonder about why certain other Oscars have been given sometimes: has it always been about the performance or direction, etc? .
I think it's possible that this had something to do with NP winning the oscar. It wouldn't surprise me. That's why the Oscars are a joke. There is always an agenda behind, when someone wins there is ideology behind it many times. It's not only about the artistic value. Politics are everywhere unfortunately.
Good question. I wonder about that too. Perhaps because he is a member he knows all the actions "behind the scenes." I don't know how mad he is with the Academy. Again, only time will tell.
Yeah, when he's really old. I think he did very well in that movie with Casey Affleck. He did very well in the Cohen's movie with George Clooney.. Fight Club was great too.. He's like Johny Depp in a way..
Would people really be so offended in the US or would it be the media which would create the idea that it's offensive and therefore a lot of people would think that it was? If you know what I mean?
Joy, I have no idea. I just know that there is very conservative people in the conservative states. I also think that Hollywood sends ideology with its movies and they can promote ideas they like or not.
OMG, I loved it !! I couldn't stop reading !! You're really good at it.
I love how you included his boots. I noticed them too
You know, the only part I would change is that I imagine him offering more resistance . Perhaps he'd kick the heavies in the nuts or something
If you have time another day I'd love to read more !!
OMG Joy, you are in a Joaquin fan site! The last thing you need to do is to apologize for swearing ! Have you heard him speak? I find your cursing fucking refreshing . Let's fucking do it more often
Now, I'm actually relieved that he's come clean because it takes the pressure off me feeling like I have to be into the whole Oscars thing when deep down I'm actually not. I mean, I'd be pleased and proud for him to win if it meant something to him but he says it doesn't so I'm happy with that.
That's true. I feel the same. We would also have to go through it and now we're free

Hi Sami & Admin,
I don't have much time to stay tonight but just wanted to say that I will start a Happy Birthday thread for Joaquin. Bring a bottle and some nibbles.
I thought I'd read about not swearing in the forum rules, that's all. Anyway, it wasn't me that was swearing - it was Joaquin, the suit and the heavies!!
Yes, I think he would too. Bastards!** The idea just popped into my head and I wrote it off the cuff quickly...we'll just have to see what inspires me for the next one.
** That was me.

[size=7]
So Joaquin's birthday is next Sunday... Wow. I didn't know. I twill be happy to congratulate him just in case he stumbles upon this site sometime. We'll wish him a happy birthday
I thought I'd read about not swearing in the forum rules, that's all.
Oh, yes, you're right... I guess I didn't take them too literally
...we'll just have to see what inspires me for the next one.
Let's see when the muse strikes you back..
So I just wanted to post a very interesting interview I just read. In this interview Joaquin reacts to the previous interview and clarifies what he meant exactly. He didn't mean to completely trash the Oscars. I think it was too blown out of proportion.. but partly it's his fault. He needs to measure his words very carefully otherwise he is misunderstood... people usually think the worst
Recently Joaquin Phoenix rattled the film industry when he dismissed the Academy Awards during an interview with Interview magazine, as 'bullshit' and the 'worst-tasting carrot' he had ever had in his whole life. But when I chat to him at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills where he has come to promote his new movie The Master, the two-time Academy nominee denied using the word carrot.
"I don't know what the context of the conversation was. I don't remember," he says, recomposing himself. "I think there's a lot of truth and wonderful things that are said at the awards and sometimes there are candidates that really deserve the kind of recognition up there, but often times there is the elements of political campaigns that feel false. I think that kind of phoniness overwhelms me and I think that's maybe what I meant, but, listen, there are wonderful artists that wouldn't have the opportunity to create if it weren't for the recognitions that they get so it's certainly not all bullshit."
Phoenix's main disdain for awards stems from their seductive nature, which he thinks everyone is susceptible to. "It breeds a sense of awareness that is not good, particularly when that becomes the goal of actors. So there are some potential hazards that I think you have to be aware of to not let it go to your head," warns Phoenix, his shirt crumpled, his hair uncombed, his beard thick.
Having said that, Phoenix appreciates the profound positive impact his Oscar nominations – for portraying Johnny Cash in Walk The Line (2006) and Commodus in The Gladiator (2001) – have had on his life. "It's undeniable that my career would be in a very different place if it wasn't for that experience," he says. "Typically I haven't been in films that have made an exorbitant amount of money and that's typically how actors oftentimes are allowed to continue to do quality work as they are considered successful."
Nonetheless, the social aspects of the nominations were too uncomfortable for him to bear. "I don't want to be around 200 people where you just make small talk," he exclaims, waving his hand dismissively. "You're going like fuck, I just spent 8 hours at this thing and I was with all these people and I never talked to anybody really. I don't like that feeling; you always kind of leave feeling a little empty."
Having won the best actor award at this year's Venice Film Festival, Phoenix may have to do it all over again this year thanks to his Oscar-worthy performance in Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master, in which he plays a wayward WWII veteran, Freddie Quell, who falls under the spell of a charismatic sect leader, Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman). But the star insists that an actor's performance is not solely the fruit of his talent and it should be credited to the director who guides him through the filming, the director of photography who makes him look good and the editor who selects his best takes.
"Sometimes, I think actors don't really deserve credit for the performances in some ways because I've seen performances shaped so much by the director," Phoenix exclaims. "I guarantee you that if you saw the unedited film, I don't think you would talk about my performance in a positive way. I think you might say that there were some moments that were good and then you'd say there were things so fucking bad that you can't imagine that I'm a paid actor. So it's hard for me ever to take credit for a performance," he laughs.
Yet, Paul Thomas Anderson told me earlier that he offered the 37-year-old actor little direction, allowing him to freely form the character as he saw fit. "Paul's really humble," Phoenix chuckles, shaking his head. "I know that he feels that he's very free and doesn't control things but he does in a very subtle way to allow actors to feel that it is their own experience. I think that really good directors sometimes won't directly say do this but they give you information that you can derive something about the character."
Phoenix confesses that although he found Freddie's yearning for meaning in his life and his uncertainty exciting, he had no idea how to approach him when he read the script. "There is a lot of ambiguity and so there's a lot to try and develop. It was such an interesting character because I never really had any clear answers for what motivated him. Typically, actors have all those cliched stupid questions that actors ask and I didn't really have that. I was mostly attracted to it because I didn't know what it was, which was scary."
But after listening to songs that were sent to him by Anderson, Phoenix began gradually to shape Freddie's character emotionally and physically. "I can't remember the songs, but every song was about these broken men and the lyrics clued me in.
"I wanted him to be physically and emotionally damaged so it was like the toughest case possible which would be appealing to The Master. That he seems like a hopeless case," explains Phoenix, who has built his career inhabiting such conflicted and broken characters.
Born in Puerto Rico in 1974 to parents who were missionaries with the Children of God, Phoenix grew in a bohemian environment. Only when his parents left the cult and moved to the US, did he and his siblings, River and Rain, begin performing music, gaining attention in local contests, which eventually lead to TV roles for himself, when he was only 10 year-old, and for his brother River, who flourished into a promising star.
Ironically, Phoenix's first major role in feature films was in Gus Van Sant's To Die For (1995), which he took following the tragic death of his brother River from an overdose at the Viper Room, which left the young actor with deep emotional scars, but charged him with a new energy that propelled him to stardom.
In 2009, he raised eyebrows when he announced his retirement from acting in order to focus on rap music, and began appearing in public with a scruffy beard, uncombed hair and dark sunglasses, giving the impression that he was suffering a mental breakdown. The entire episode of his fall as a movie star and his rise as a rap artist was recorded by his best friend Casey Affleck in I'm Still Here, a supposed documentary that was released in 2010.
Later Phoenix strenuously denied that he had ever retired from acting or taken on rap music, insisting that it had been an act for I'm Still Here. "You got to be fucking kidding me," he explodes in incredulous laughter. "I don't do music, I never have."
Nonetheless, the experience of making I'm Still Here has profoundly changed his perspective on acting and deepened his understanding of himself. "I think that when I was younger I tried to really control my performances and I tried to really plan things out and I took a certain pride in the amount of work that I had done. At some point I felt in some ways that I was preventing myself from discovering things that maybe were beyond my understanding at the time when I was studying it and that the best thing was to study and work and come up with my plan but to be completely open to whatever may happen in the moment and that really came to pass when I did I'm Still Here and then led into this movie."
Listening to Phoenix speaking about acting with such passion, enthusiasm and deep appreciation, one would doubt that he had or would ever contemplate quitting his coveted craft. It's evident, however, that he loathes the inevitable social aspects and the hazardous fame that come with it.
"I don't want to feel like I'm this different thing or that I am like special in some way; it makes me feel funny," he reflects. "I'm shy and it's uncomfortable, and you navigate it because you have no choice," he laughs in resignation.
A lot has been said about Phoenix's eccentric personality and unpredictable behaviour, which is evidently not completely untrue, but what I also sensed in him was frustration at being misunderstood, dismay at being judged and a yearning to be left alone.

You always got the blues
I understand how he feels because I feel the same way all the time. If I was in his position I would have a very hard time. The only thing I don't have is a yearning to be left alone.
When I was in college a friend told me that people thought I was weird but they respected me. On another scale, I would like to think that most people respect Joaquin a great deal too. Whatever that means. I'm sure he'll figure it out

Last night some of the youth from Our Savior's and Trinity and St. Olaf's met here for a cemetery walk. We had done this before a couple years ago – it's an opportunity to come together and learn more about the cemeteries here in this area and since it was right before All Saints Sunday we talked about the significance of that day.
Pastor Joan from Cranfills Gap shared a clip of the movie 'Places in the Heart'. It takes place in Waxahachie, Texas and tells the story of a group of people during the 1930's. The movie starts out with the hymn "Blessed Assurance" being sung and we see people going about their daily lives on a Sunday morning. Many coming out of church after the service. A family sits down to a noontime meal and while they are saying grace we hear shots ringing out. Within moments, there is a knock at the door and the men at the door are asking for the husband of the family to come with them. Turns out he is the sheriff in town and there is trouble down by the railroad. A young black man – looks to be a teenager – he is drunk and throwing bottles up into the air and shooting at them.
There is a brief, good-natured exchange between the police and the young man. They tell him to come on now – he needs to come with them, get sobered up. The feel of the scene is that these are just two good policemen who know a youthful indiscretion when they see it – they are chuckling as he throws one last bottle up into the air and the gun clicks – out of bullets. And the young man turns to go with them. He's been swaying a lot this whole time – you can tell he's had a lot to drink – but there's no worries now, the gun is out of bullets. But as he turns, his finger hits the trigger again and there was another bullet. It hits the sheriff in the chest and kills him.
In a heartbeat everything changes – for the family of the sheriff, for the young man – the young black man is actually killed by local folks enraged at what he has done.
The whole movie shares hardships of the people during this time –what the widow does to get by, how many need to move away from that town to find work, how more folks die. It tells the story of the difficulties and challenges that many communities face over time. And the closing scene is back in the church. The pews are probably only about half full now. We know why – so many have died, so many have had to move away.
But the last thing is this: it shows the congregation having communion – and this is one of those churches where the sacrament is passed up and down the pews – and as the tray of wine is being passed from person to person, suddenly we see the pews are not half empty. All the people who have left or died are there. All of them passing the sacrament to each other and saying "the peace of God" to each other as they do it – even that sheriff and the young man who had killed him.
The communion of the saints. I thought this movie painted a picture so perfectly of what we mean when we talk about that "communion of the saints" in church. About how our life together and our faith in Christ connects us to each other in ways that time, distance, or even death cannot break. How when we gather here, we gather not just as the people of God in 2013, but as God's people throughout time.
Please don't think less of me when I say my first inclination was to turn around and slap her – because I didn't. Instead, I prayed that God could help her see in time, and I'm certain God will, that the sacred that is present everywhere – in every season of life and even in death. I prayed that someday, when someone she loves is in the nursing home, that she will be faithful to visit and begin to see and understand that it is a place full of beautiful people with lifetimes of stories we are blessed if we get to hear. And that even if they aren't able to tell those stories anymore, that they are still the saints of God in that place, with worth and beauty and dignity. I hope she'll begin to realize that what she hates is not nursing homes but the fear they stir up within her of her own mortality – that yes, someday, all of us – if we get the blessing of living a long time, someday all of us will need help. Someday all of us will have hands that may tremble a little too much to take our own medications. Someday, all of us will have minds that may not quite be able to remember the way home or be able to go for a simple walk alone. And yes, that is not fun information to think about, but there it is. And we don't do ourselves or the world any good if we spend our lives doing things like casually dismissing an entire group of people and saying things like "oh, I just don't like nursing homes." And that if we are held in God's hands, then there is nothing to fear – that somehow God will help all of us through the last seasons of our lives just as God helped us through the first ones and the middle ones.
And I hope that someday, when someone she loves dies, she'll go to the funeral and then she'll walk along with the casket, with her heart frozen inside her, out to the cemetery for the burial. And she'll feel the awful emptiness that comes with knowing her loved one will be sleeping in that ground that night and that's all there is to it. And it will feel like the period at the end of a sentence – final. But then I pray she'll listen to the words of scripture that the preacher reads. Words about a home prepared for all of us in God's house – and that even through her grief – as the breeze floats over the cemetery she hear God's whisper that this isn't the end of the story. That the one she loves dearly who is being buried that day is not simply being shut up in a tomb and that the ground upon which she is walking is not just a pile of bones and tears – but that it is a holy place where we linger over a promise. It is a place full of stories of a thousand saints who lived, and yes, died, but even then God had a plan for them. A plan we can only just glimpse – but one they have now seen face to face – and that if you really listen in that place, you'll hear a song not of death but of hope – a hope in which we can rest, and rejoice. I pray she'll realize in that moment, that what she hates is not cemeteries, but her fear of the unknown. And that in time she'll remember that she, and all of us, are held in God's hands, and there is nothing to fear.
Living and loving God, the generations rise and pass away before you. You are the strength of those who labor; you are the rest of the blessed dead. We rejoice in the company of your saints. We remember all who have lived in faith, all who have peacefully died, and especially those most dear to us who rest in you. Give us in time our portion with those who have trusted in you and have striven to do your holy will. To your name, with the Church on earth and the Church in heaven, we ascribe all honor and glory, now and forever. Amen.
A couple months ago, I went to the wedding of friends in the Twin Cities. It was a beautiful event, as most weddings are, but this one was particularly delightful for numerous reasons. One of the reasons was because the bride and groom have a large circle of friends who love music, are long-time church folks, and thus, participating in the singing of the hymns that day was deeply moving. Our voices not only rose together in luminous harmonies, but as I looked around at the people gathered, everyone was smiling at the music we were making together. More than a few of us were also wiping away tears as we grinned like fools. It didn't matter that some of us can hardly carry a note, we made a joyful noise along with those who were the professional singers and all together, the sound was not only breath-taking, but it was one of the most magnificent moments of spiritual harmony I have felt for ages.
I thought on the way home about how even though I sing hymns every week in worship with my congregation, it was so different singing at that wedding. Surely, part of the reason was the pure joy of the wedding and seeing old friends, but I know it was also because I wasn't leading the service. I just got to sing for the love of singing and the love of God. I wanted more of that feeling.
I talked with a pastor friend, the brilliant Dean Grier of First Lutheran in Audubon, and we decided that an opportunity for fellowship and song in our community could be a cool thing. Yes, for us as pastors, because we would get to sing and enjoy the music in a way that is very different from Sundays when our minds are often cluttered with other stuff (is the scripture reader here? where did I put the stuff for the children's sermon? maybe I should not tell that one story I was thinking about telling in my sermon…) and also as a form of evangelism.
In the church, we unfortunately tend to think of evangelism as getting people to come to church so they will worship just like we do. We treat evangelism as a way to answer the problem of our empty pews and offering plates.
Of course, real evangelism is something quite different. It is going out into the community where people already are and being the church there. As Saint Francis of Assisi famously said, "Preach the Gospel always, if necessary, use words." Sometimes this can look like doing service projects. Sometimes this can look like visiting the sick and homebound. Sometimes it looks like working at a soup kitchen or running a coat drive. Sometimes it can look like gathering at a bar and singing hymns together.
Beer and Hymns at the Cormorant Pub will be very simple: singing and fellowship. Don't expect a sermon. Don't expect structured worship of any kind and yet, don't be surprised if the Holy Spirit chooses to move in that place. I'm expecting it.
Would you be surprised to walk into a bar and hear hymns being sung in four-part harmony? Well, that is what is happening in pubs across the nation as Beer and Hymns takes shape in communities looking for faith, fellowship, and ways to share the joy of sacred music outside of sanctuary walls and Sunday mornings.
Do you like to sing? Do you, like Martin Luther, enjoy a nice, cold beer now and then? Well, thanks be to God! Beer and Hymns is soon coming to a pub near you! It's simple: we get together with friends and strangers and sing old hymns, eat food, drink beverages (beer is optional, singing is not!), and enjoy one another's company. We'll gather from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 29th at Cormorant Pub in the center of Cormorant Village (10790 County Highway 5, Pelican Rapids, MN). Invite your friends! All ages are welcome. For more information contact Ruth Hetland at ruthehetland@gmail.com.
"The two small boys whose bodies washed up on a Turkish beach Wednesday were Kurdish refugees from Kobane, Syria, whose family had been desperately trying to emigrate to Canada.
Galib Kurdi, five, and his three-year-old brother Aylan died along with their mother Rehan and eight other refugees when their boat overturned in a desperate flight from Turkey to the Greek island of Kos.
I suppose I did what every parent did at the sight of that photo. I gasped. I thought of my own dear boys. I thought about how I would give anything and everything to keep them safe – and how I'm sure your parents felt the same.
And then I went on with my day, Aylan. I had stuff to do. I had to run some errands and go to a Bible study and visit some people. Later that day when I was scanning facebook I saw someone had posted your picture again. Again, I felt sad. I felt helpless. I felt thankful my own boys were safe and I prayed for your father.
I went to sleep that night and woke in the morning to see your picture again in the newspaper. Aylan, I confess that I didn't want to see it again. I didn't want to see it because I felt bad when I looked at it. Even though I had only just heard about you the day before, your little red shirt and blue shorts were old news now. How long was I expected to feel sad for you? How long should I feel bad about your whole situation I knew nothing about? I had plenty other things to think about and plenty other news to read.
But then you started staying near to me. In my thoughts, in my heart.
I'm ashamed to admit to you, Aylan, that I knew so very little before these last days about what is going on in your homeland. I get so busy with my own life and my own cares that too often the news I hear from around the world becomes just noise and I don't stop to pay attention to what is happening. Of course I had heard things about Syria, about ISIS, and while things sounded bad, I knew there was so much to pray about things right here in my own country. And you and your family sounded so far away. Until I saw you there with your little red shirt and your little blue shorts, tiny tennis shoes. For me and for many, You weren't just another headline. You were far from the first child to die because of the civil war in your homeland but when I saw you I finally realized –You could have been my boys. My boys could have been you. Except they were born here and you were born there.
So when you started to stay near in my thoughts this week, sweet Aylan, I finally opened my eyes and ears. It's astonishing how much I can learn when I actually pay attention to things beyond myself and my own zip code. I learned that there are 5.6 million children like you who have lost homes and lives and any sense of safety because of the civil war that broke out in Syria in 2011. Many are now living in over-stretched refugee camps, makeshift shelters or villages. Many have fled Syria on foot, taking only what they could carry. Most fled under the cover of night to avoid sniper fire and shelling. There are Millions refugee children just like you who are exhausted, hungry and terrified.
Thousands of Syrians still flee their country every day. They often decide to finally escape after seeing their neighborhoods bombed or family members killed. The risks on the journey to the border can be as high as staying. Families walk for miles through the night to avoid being shot at by snipers or being caught by soldiers who will kidnap young men to fight for the regime.
Aylan, I read the story of a young mother, Hiba – she recently fled with her daughter and her severely disabled son, following the destruction of her home.
I read about how the majority of displaced Syrians are living in Jordan or Lebanon – countries that are stretched beyond their breaking point now and unable to take care of the people who are there. Others have taken to the sea to try to get to other countries where there might be a future. Aylan, I know your family did what you had to do. You had to leave.
And then, not long after your journey began, we saw your picture. Dear boy, I am so sorry. I'm so sad that you had to leave your home and face that terrifying journey over the water. I can't begin to know the kind of horror that you experienced in your short life.
But I'm so thankful that whoever took those pictures let the world see them. Forgive me that for even a moment I wanted to turn away and not see the picture. We need to see it. We need to hate your death and the violence in this world that caused it.
You were just three years old – but your life mattered in countless ways – to your parents, to your whole family, to God – and though we did not meet, now you are so near to me each day.
Aylan, you were with me when I was studying the texts from the Bible for this week. When I read the prophet Isaiah speaking the word of hope to the exiles in Babylon and talking about the waters breaking forth in the wilderness and the streams in the desert, I wondered where the hope was for you when the waters enveloped your sweet little head.
And when the psalmist sang of giving justice to the oppressed, I hung my head and contemplated how your young life knew of no justice. While other children were busy sleeping in a few more times before school gets started again, while other children were busy riding their bikes around the block or staring at a video game, you were dreaming of a safe place to live for your family, of being done riding in that boat.
Even when I read the gospel for today and heard Jesus talking to the Syrophoenician woman who came to him begging for help for her child and at first he turns her away and only helps her after she holds on tight and keeps asking him, not letting him get away with turning her away – because a parent will do anything to help their child – maybe then I thought of you the most. Sweet boy, you deserved better than what happened to you. You deserved safe passage and a warm bed to sleep in. You deserved a full tummy and to be able to grow up along with your brother, sharing memories and life with your parents. You deserved laughter and education and hope and a future.
Aylan, what can I do for you now? A 45 year-old white preacher in Minnesota. What can I do for you – for children like you? I feel so helpless sometimes. The gospel is so extremely clear about how Christians must care, not only care, but help those who lack anything. The gospel compels us to welcome you and all refugees – with no stipulation or hesitation. And yet, borders rise up everywhere – between lands, between hearts, between peoples – keeping us all in our place, until ultimately we feel threatened by anything or anyone different. I want to help, but I just don't know how?
Of course, one thing I must do is never ever forget that my ancestors were refugees, too, in their own way. Aylan, it's true. They left Norway because they were so poor and there was no land and no opportunity. They weren't in the middle of civil war like your family was – but they did come with a hope for something better – just like your family did.
It was a different time, to be sure, but there's nothing in the gospel of Jesus Christ that allows me to reserve compassion for when it is easy or when it makes sense or when it doesn't put me out of my way too much. God doesn't allow us to see your picture or hear the news about what is happening to you and your people without compelling us to take action. Wherever we are.
And Aylan, in addition to remembering that my own people were once people traveling on the sea looking for a new home, I'm going to do something else.
So, Aylan, I have been thinking about your picture and about how helpless I feel to really do anything for children like you. But then I realized how far from helpless I am. You actually were – you were a child fleeing a war-torn country. But I am not a victim here. I am not helpless. God help me if I act like I am. Because I can use my voice to talk about you. I can encourage others to do the same. I can use my money to help support organizations that can help other children like you. I can stop putting any energy at all into feeling so dang helpless and remember that I may not be able to do everything, but I can do something.
Aylan, when my boys were very little and they wanted me to hold them, they would stretch their arms up to me and say, "Hold you, hold you." It was the dearest thing in the world to me. Those sweet, trusting faces and knowing they were looking to me for comfort and some sense of assurance in their world. I had the power to give that to them. And so I would reach down and pick them up and hold them close.
And when they are asleep, then and still now, I put my hand on their heads and I bless them and ask God to watch over them now and always. And I trust that no matter what, God will. It's not trusting that they will always have good luck or that nothing bad will ever happen to them – it's trusting that no matter what happens, God will be with them. That even on their worst days they will know they are loved – by God and by their family.
Aylan, you are loved, by God and by us. Your death showed me a glimpse of the worst of sin and evil in this world – and now I pray that as I remember you, I'll be moved to show a glimpse of something quite different. I will show love and mercy. Generosity and bravery. I'll not just speak about how awful it is that you died, but I'll do my best to help where I can because you lived.


Depression and its hold on you.
It is normal for everyone to feel a little sad now and then, but when that sadness does not go away even after weeks or months, that is usually a sign of depression. When there is chemical imbalance through poor nutrition or any other reason, the brain can be adversely affected; this can manifest itself as melancholy, the blues, sadness, depression, or anxiety.
There are many different ways to treat depression. The medical community typically addresses depression and anxiety through biochemical means with the use of drugs. These drugs may be necessary if a patient is in danger of harming him or herself or if quality of life cannot be restored any other way. Even if drugs are being used, balancing the body's biochemistry with nutrition is still a good idea. The function of enzymes and neurotransmitters and the integrity of the nerve tissue are all affected by nutrition. Therapy is often used in depression patients as well.

HOME › Forums › Irrigation › EZFlora › EZFlora or EZIO?
I have a problem that while it is unusual, I hardly think that it is unique; I have set up an Insteon/Indigo system for my sister and Brother in Law's rural home and am thinking of adding their sprinkler system to the computerized age; it has 23 zones varying in size from 5 (soaker hoses which need to run for several hours each) gpm up to 15 gpm (most of which need to run 30 minutes to an hour depending on the amount of sun exposure). The problem is that the well pump that supplies the house as well as the sprinkler system is sized to deliver 40 to 50 gpm into a 100 gallon pressure tank, which means that if Mike only runs one zone at a time, the pump cycles on and off about every 5 minutes, which is why he currently has multiple valves tied to each sprinkler zone to load the pump to a nominal 45 gpm, but this means that all the sprinklers tied to a particular zone must run the same amount of time. I can of course achieve a similar effect by using 3 8 zone EZFlora controllers and having all three of them active at once, but it seems to me that an EZIO8SA or ST would allow even more flexibility. But then I started wondering whether I need a separate PLM for each EZIOSA, or if one PLM will handle multiple SAs (which makes their price less than the T) or if there is some way go fool the EZFlora into starting multiple zones as well (which would eliminate the notorious problem of blowing up triacs if a short exceeds their ratings). Does anyone have any experience with any similar systems?
Each EZIO8SA requires a unique PLM. Several reasons. A Serial Port can be connected to one application (EZIO8SA or software application) at a time. The PLM carries the Insteon address so there would be no way to differentiate one EZIO8SA from another even if the Serial Port design allowed more than one application.
An EZFlora will not run more than one Zone at a time. Normally zones are designed with the source water flow capacity in mind. Allowing multiple Zones could exceed the source water supply.
I pump from a lake using a 1.5 HP pump which I would never allow to cycle. It is an irrigation pump not designed for sustained cycling. I added a mechanical pressure relief value after a lighting strike damaged a Rain Bird controller, turning on the Pump Control relay with no Zones open. Luckily the pump housing expanded with the excess heat allowing the discharge pipe to slip slightly providing a path for the hot water to flow. Otherwise the pump would have been damaged. I do turn On multiple valves with a single zone.
You are absolutely right that there are configurations where one Zone only is an impediment. I used Rain Bird controllers before moving to the EZFlora and none of them allowed more than one Zone on at a time.
Which moves me on to the next question… do you have any ideas on how rugged the triacs (EZIO8T) are relative to hard relay contacts(EZIO8SA+PLM)? Because if I do this, one of the big selling points to my Brouther in Law is going to be not having to use a screwdriver to reconfigure which zones run simultaneously… his rainbirds don't allow it either, and as the sun moves from winter to spring to summer to fall shade patterns, he's got to change the run times for the various zones, meaning a real hardware reprogramming job.
So have you ever used the "maximum duration" option in the EZIO8s as a backstop for controller failure? Looking at the documentation, it looks identical to what's in the EZFlora zones, and since it's set in integer minutes, it's obviously not intended to be used for momentary contact triggers like a garage door opener signal. But since I haven't had hands on the actual hardware, I obviously haven't had a chance to test that.
I used the EZIO8T in a garage application. There is a Configuration Register option to set the timeout to seconds rather than minutes.

Baroness Bonham-Carter of Yarnbury: My Lords, it is with great pleasure that I address your Lordships for the first time. This sense of pleasure derives both from the honour that I feel in joining your Lordships in this
10 Sept 2004 : Column 827
beautiful House and from the generosity of the welcome extended to me by colleagues from around the House, and in particular by the kind words of the noble Lord, Lord Rees-Mogg.
With the help of noble Lords and that of the excellent Attendants and other staff who serve this House and whom I sincerely thank, I am learning to find my way around the place. But since, as I am told by one of my aunts, I am "spatially dyslexic"—I mean that in the literal as well as the intellectual sense—I must confess sometimes to feeling a little like Theseus in the labyrinth and in need of a ball of wool to help me.
Today's debate gives me an opportunity to contribute to a topic close to my heart—an opportunity to support the holding of a referendum, although not this Bill, on the proposed constitution for Europe and, in so doing, to highlight what I believe to be the remarkable political achievement of the European Union in bringing about the extension of democracy, the rule of law, including civil rights and ethnic rights, and an era of peace across Europe as well as prosperity.
I have listened to the speeches already made today with admiration and interest and with varying degrees of agreement. It is clear that not every Member of this House shares my enthusiasm for Europe. I suspect, however, that my own sentiments will not come wholly as a surprise.
"The Liberal Party has always believed in breaking down the barriers that divide man from man and nation from nation".
That was written by my father in 1962 in a foreword to a pamphlet debating the future of Britain in Europe. Forty-two years later, the Liberal Democrats believe that. Forty-two years later, however, the debate, as we are hearing today, still goes on and consensus eludes this country. It is time that the crucial issue of the nature of the EU and our role in it is finally settled.
As a supporter of the Union, I acknowledge that it can appear distant and unaccountable, and that more reform is still necessary. But too little is heard about the successes of the European Union. In Britain, a largely Euro-sceptic press has meant that the positives have been buried. For 20 years, we have been exposed to the drip, drip, drip of shabby anti-European propaganda. A referendum, and the campaign that will accompany it, is an opportunity to redress that and to settle at last an issue that has bedevilled two generations of British politics.
The first half of the 20th century saw European conflagration. My grandmother's generation lost brothers, lovers and friends. Only 25 years or so later, it was happening again. My own first cousin never knew his father due to conflict within Europe—due to European fighting European. It is now unimaginable that member states would employ the use of force to settle disagreements among themselves. When I was growing up, Spain, Portugal and Greece were ruled by dictators. That can never happen again as long those countries are members of the EU.
Only 15 years ago, British soldiers stationed in Germany still faced anxiously east. With the recent historic enlargement of the European Union,
countries that were behind that Iron Curtain can now look forward to peace, stability and democracy. Of the 10 accession states, eight were formally Communist. They had to make enormous strides to meet the democratic requirements for membership—and they did. Across Europe the EU is locking in democracy.
A united Europe also provides the power to tackle problems that cannot be tackled by nation states alone. Euro-sceptics talk of the surrender of sovereignty, but we already pool sovereignty. It was NATO that kept Britain secure during the Cold War. Only pooled sovereignty can deal with the challenges we face today: economic globalisation, pervasive environmental pollution, and the threats of international terrorism.
Pollution recognises no borders and terrorists do not respect national boundaries, as we witnessed again so appallingly in Beslan and yesterday in Jakarta. In this shrinking world, the European Union is of our time. Britain can achieve more when it acts in partnership with our neighbours.
Let us look to our own future, to the generation younger than me. They are at ease with Europe; it is their holiday destination; they work there; their heroes on the football pitch have names like Thierry Henry, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Patrick Vieira. And yet come Euro 2004, no-one was cheering harder than the Arsenal and Man U fans for an English victory. At the Athens Olympics we were for Team GB.
As my right honourable friend Charles Kennedy says, in the modern world he finds nothing inconsistent in being simultaneously a Highlander, a Scot, British and a citizen of Europe.
The proposed constitution for Europe modernises the EU; makes it more flexible, democratic, transparent and internationally effective. But it is, and will remain, a diverse European Union. It is a constitution for a union of nation states—absolutely not for a European superstate.
I believe a referendum is the best way to ensure that the new constitution is widely accepted and understood. So I personally am in favour of a referendum but not in favour of the Bill. In a maiden speech one cannot be partisan, so I will leave it to others to make the argument that the Bill is playing party politics. But it must be for the Government to judge the timing of the referendum in light of parliamentary scrutiny and developments in other member states. I look forward to the campaign.
Lord Radice: My Lords, we have heard two excellent maiden speeches. The noble Lord, Lord Laidlaw, made an excellent speech and we look forward to hearing what he has to say, particularly about education. The noble Baroness, Lady Bonham-Carter of Yarnbury, has also made an excellent speech. She will not be surprised to learn that I agree with almost every word that she said.
The noble Baroness comes from a great Liberal family. Although I did not know her grandmother, I did know her father, who was a friend of mine. I
worked closely with him in Europe and indeed in Poland and Hungary, which are now members of the European Union. I know he would have been delighted about that.
It is clear that the noble Baroness will make a considerable mark on this House. We look forward to hearing what she has to say in the future.
Before I turn to the Bill, I want to say that I was not in favour of having a referendum. I was influenced by my Commons experience of watching Conservative governments carry through Parliament the Single European Act and the Maastricht Treaty without a referendum and, indeed, resisting very strongly the case for a referendum in words with which I very much agree. As any fair commentator on European issues would accept, the Single European Act and the Maastricht Treaty were very much more important constitutionally than the European constitutional treaty on which we shall have a referendum.
In my view the treaty is useful and valuable. It sets out the powers, rights and duties of the Union in a single treaty, which we have not had before. Indeed, the first 18 or 20 paragraphs are rather clearly set out. It provides a simple and fair voting system for the Council; it acknowledges the predominant role of the nation states; and I say to the noble Lord, Lord Rees-Mogg—I enjoyed his speech, as one always does—that I do not recognise the constitutional treaty that he described when I look through the text of the treaty that I have beside me.
Of course, for the first time it allows greater involvement for national parliaments. Frankly, it is far less significant than the Single European Act, which introduced a single market—a very revolutionary move—and it is far less important than the Maastricht Treaty, which introduced the euro and the European Central Bank.
After consideration, I think that there is merit in having a referendum—not just because my leader has announced that there will be one. We have not had a referendum on Europe since the membership referendum of 1975. A referendum on the constitutional treaty will give the British people a chance to vote on the treaty which contains the Single European Act, the Maastricht Treaty, all the other developments since 1975 and the new features, of which there are not very many, introduced in this constitutional treaty.
Here I agree with the noble Baroness, Lady Bonham-Carter, that as such it will be a test of where the British people stand on the European Union. I welcome that. In that sense it is an important crossroads.
I say to the noble Lord, Lord Blackwell, a very constructive member of Sub-Committee A, which I have the honour to chair, of the European Union Committee—I very much enjoy working with him—that I am against his Bill. I have always warned him that on this issue we would be arguing on opposite sides.
I am against his Bill for a number of reasons. A Bill that concerns a treaty and a referendum as important as these should be introduced by a government Minister and not by a Back-Bencher. I do not want to make too much of that, but that is the way in which we operate in our democracy.
My main argument is against the haste that would be introduced by the Bill if it were passed. The referendum would be held within four months after 29 October. I think that that would prevent proper and full parliamentary scrutiny and debate. If the noble Lord says that it is quite a small Bill, I say so was the Maastricht Treaty. As he will well remember, given the fact that he gave advice to the government of the day, it took a whole year to go through the House of Commons.
We need proper time for parliamentary scrutiny because we are a parliamentary democracy—not a democracy that is run by plebiscite. We would be introducing an element of that if we rushed to have a referendum straightaway. We need proper parliamentary input and, frankly, we cannot get that within four months.
The second point, which has already been alluded to by my noble friend, is that we need proper information. A fair and proper democratic referendum has to be based on full information about the treaty and the constitution. A recent MORI poll for the Foreign Policy Centre shows that there is considerable ignorance about the constitution. The noble Lord may say that that does not matter, but it also says that those polled would like to know more about it. So they are asking for more information.
It is proper that information should not be based on what people read in the Sun or the Daily Mail. That may suit the noble Lord, but we need to have the proper facts and to know what is not in the European constitution. We need to know, for example, that it will not abolish our seat on the UN Security Council, threaten control of our oil supplies and that our Army is not under threat; that it will not force us to join the euro against our will, raise our taxes or force us to have our foreign policy dictated from Brussels; and that it will not lead to a European superstate. That is not in the constitutional treaty.
So we need to ensure that people have their proper right to information and that it is simply set out. Indeed, I would urge the Government to publish a simple pamphlet setting out what is in the treaty and make that available across the country, perhaps in every post office—if there are enough post offices open for that to happen. I hope there are. I do not believe that a rush to a referendum can provide the proper informed debate that we need to have if we are to have a fair and proper referendum. That is my second point.
My third point is much more pragmatic: it would be wrong to mix up the referendum with the general election. Let us be honest and say where we are at the moment. The general election is likely to be held in the early summer of next year. When the party conference season is over we will already be in the run-up to the
general election. I think that it would be quite wrong to mix up the referendum on the constitutional treaty with the general election.
In my view, the referendum should be held after the general election. I say that very clearly and not for partisan reasons but because I think that that is the fairest way to conduct a referendum on such an important topic for this country. So, for all those reasons, I would say to the noble Lord, whom I like very much, that his Bill is premature and that if passed it would not help an informed debate, nor lead to an informed decision. In that sense, it would weaken rather than strengthen democracy.

An orbital planetary defense system that is also capable of beamed power propulsion allows mildly relativistic spacecraft speeds using existing technologies. While designed to heat the surface of potentially hazardous objects to the evaporation point to mitigate asteroid threats the system is inherently multi-functional with one mode being relativistic beamed spacecraft propulsion. The system is called DE-STAR for Directed Energy Solar Targeting of Asteroids and exploRation. DE-STAR is a proposed orbital platform that is a modular phased array of lasers, powered by the sun. Modular design allows for incremental development, test and initial deployment, lowering cost, minimizing risk and allowing for technological co-development, leading eventually to an orbiting structure that could be erected in stages. The main objective of DE-STAR would be to use the focused directed energy to raise the surface spot temperature of an asteroid to ~3,000 K, allowing direct evaporation of all known substances. The same system is also capable of propelling spacecraft to relativistic speeds, allowing rapid interplanetary travel and relativistic interstellar probes. Our baseline system is a DE-STAR 4, which is a 10 km square array that is capable of producing a 30 m diameter spot at a distance of 1 AU from the array. Such a system allows for engaging an asteroid that is beyond 1 AU from the DE-STAR 4. When used in its "photon rail gun mode", a DE-STAR 4 would be capable of propelling a 1, 10, 102, 103, 104 kg spacecraft that is equipped with a 30 m diameter reflector to 1 AU in approximately 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30 days, respectively, with speeds of about 4%, 1.2%, 0.4%, 0.15%, 0.05% the speed of light at 1 AU. With continued illumination to 3 AU the spacecraft, with a 30 m diameter reflector, would reach speeds 2 faster. A DE-STAR 4 could propel a 102 kg probe with 900 m diameter reflector to 2% the speed of light with continued illumination out to 30 AU, and ultimately to 3% the speed of light after which the spacecraft will coast. Such speeds far exceed the galactic escape velocity. Smaller systems are also extremely useful and can be built now. For example, a DE-STAR 1 (10 m size array) would be capable of evaporating space debris at 104 km (~diam. of Earth) while a DE-STAR 2 could divert volatile-laden asteroids 100 m in diameter by initiating engagement at ~0.01-0.5 AU. All sized systems can be used to propel varying sized systems for both testing and for interplanetary use. An extreme case is a wafe scale spacecraft (WaferSat) with a 1 m reflector that can achieve >25%c in about 15 minutes. The phased array configuration is capable of creating multiple beams, so a single DE-STAR of sufficient size could engage several threats simultaneously or propelling several spacecraft. A DE-STAR could also provide power to ion propulsion systems, providing both a means of acceleration on the outbound leg, and deceleration for orbit insertion by rotating the spacecraft "ping-ponging" between two systems in either a photon rail gun mode or power ion engines. There are a number of other applications as well including SPS for down linking power to the Earth via millimeter or microwave. A larger system such as a DE-STAR 6 system could propel a 104 kg spacecraft to near the speed of light allowing for true interstellar travel. The same technology can also be used for extremely long range communications with continuous communication between Earth and the interstellar spacecraft. This technology also has direct implications for interstellar and intergalactic beaming allowing for SETI across the universe for civilizations that have mastered this technology. There are a number of other applications for the system. While decidedly futuristic in its outlook many of the core technologies now exist and small systems can be built to test the basic concepts as the technology improves. While there are enormous challenges to fully implementing this technology the opportunities enabled are truly revolutionary.

Q: Tensorflow 2 subclassed model retracing error I am implementing a tensorflow model using the keras subclassing api, as mentioned in a previous post here:
Tensorflow Model Subclassing Mutli-Input
I am running into an error that is slowing my entire system, where it is retracing but I cannot narrow down where this error occurs, I do not use @tf.function anywhere in my code. I am looking for support on narrowing down the location of the error or how to solve it.
The exact error is:

WARNING: Logging before flag parsing goes to stderr. W0127

  calls to .distributed_function at 0x157208d08> triggered tf.function retracing. Tracing is expensive and the
  excessive number of tracings is likely due to passing python objects
  instead of tensors. Also, tf.function has

  that can avoid unnecessary retracing. Please refer to

Looking into it further disabling eager execution is throwing this warning that may be a causing factor:
