Last week the Australian Government's Arts Minister Simon Crean released the new 'Creative Australia – The National Cultural Policy'. It has been 20 years since the government released an Arts or Cultural Policy so it was well overdue. I did think it was worth looking at the policy.
It is up to more qualified people than me to assess the full policy but I thought it would be good to take note of it here and what the Arts Minister, some of the Arts Organisations and the media had to say about. You can look up all the references below and make up your own minds as to what implications it will have for your own arts practice.
One of the major difficulties for myself and many others is that as 'mid career' artists often struggle far more than emerging artists. There is much more support for 'emerging artists' at the beginning of their artmaking careers but these opportunities dwindle as you get into 'mid career'. I do find the definitions difficult especially for someone like me who has been in a kind of 'holding circle' for the past few years producing just a small amount of work due to being a Carer within my family for both elderly relatives and my own family needing extra support. Alongside this, I have had issues with RSI and shoulder surgery that has been impacting on my artistic output for the past few years as well. I feel like I have been in a kind of hiatus and am only now beginning to 'restart' my career. So does this mean the first few years count and the clock stopped on the 'emerging' and is just now restarting? Definitions themselves can be used to both help and hinder.
These were a few of the ideas I submitted when the government was calling for submissions towards the development of the new policy.
You can read the full policy on Creative Australia website.
If you would like to see Simon Crean's launch of the policy at the Press Club on Wednesday 13th March you can click here.
I was very impressed to see an Arts Minister who is enthusiastic about the arts and the promotion of Arts with education and within schools.
"It's a policy that sees the artist at the centre of creativity.
A policy that sees creativity crucial to the nation's future.
A policy built on partnership.
"Culture is expressed in many ways through our stories, the way we live, speak, conduct public life, relate to others, celebrate, remember the past, entertain ourselves and imagine the future.
Our creative expression gives voice to us as individuals, challenges perceptions and helps us see the world through the eyes of others.
I, like many, have long held a passion for the arts.
It's not just the enjoyment they bring, they've shaped and developed many aspects of who I am.
Just as they will have for everyone in this room and for anyone watching this broadcast.
I see the artist as central to us as a nation.
And to securing its future.
I believe government and society must continue to invest in the arts.


Virtual Reality has been buoyed by the launch of headsets by major manufacturers including Oculus and Samsung, as well as the planned launch of PlayStation and Xbox headsets. There are headsets for use specifically with mobile phones, as well as those that are designed for the PC, and there are headsets to meet all budgets.
As well as independent games and VR experiences, consumers can also enjoy access to premium games, through gaming services like Steam, and developers are continuing to push out new hardware and software to further enhance the experience that users can enjoy. While it would be premature to say that VR has entered its golden era, it certainly seems as though it is getting there, but what does the future of VR really look like?
According to analysts, 2 million or more headsets will ship in 2016, which represents a significant increase compared to 2015. This increase will be driven by the launch of the PlayStation VR headset, and it will be backed up by Oculus launching VR wand style controllers so that buyers do not have to use the console controller that currently ships with the unit. As yet, it is not entirely clear when Microsoft will launch its own console based VR headset, but you can expect it to arrive soon after the October launch of PlayStation's model.
Console VR gaming, then, is very much on the cards, and this means that additional funding is likely for game developers. It is possible that major developers like EA, and those that use Unity and Unreal engines, will make some kind of move over to VR and the accessibility of consoles will be the driving force.
While a lot of developers, apart from Steam, are reticent to invest too heavily in PC VR gaming, with the $700+ headset price putting all but the most serious of gamers off, you can expect an October launch of a new technology to mean that it will be on Christmas shopping lists around the world. Game developers will not want to miss out.
Currently, the HTC Vive offers arguably the best and most immersive VR experience. It doesn't require the use of an Xbox controller, because it comes with wands, which play better than they sound. It also has better viewer resolution than the Oculus, which is the company's main rival. The Oculus may not be quite as expensive as the Vive, but it has more problems.
Thankfully, though, Facebook owned Oculus are already working on producing a better controller. Companies like Samsung are apparently gearing up to join the PC VR marketplace too and increased competition is only likely to be good news for consumers.
The mobile headset space is already a burgeoning industry. Google arguably started the trend with the launch of its Cardboard Viewer. The device cost around $20 when it was launched, and the tech giant also offered a free blueprint of the design so that consumers could even create a complete VR mobile headset completely free of charge. Eventually, they stopped producing and selling the headset, but not before attracting competitors like Samsung Gear to join the fray.
The Samsung Gear VR has emerged as being the best quality mobile VR headset, in many peoples' eyes, but it is only compatible with some of the latest models of Samsung mobile phone which means that its reach is limited.
Many other manufacturers have created mobile headsets, and it seems likely that this trend will continue. Samsung is already preparing to launch a second version of their own headset, in line with the launch of new Galaxy smartphones and Note tablets. The specifications have not yet been released, but it would be churlish to think that the only update would be to add USB-C to the equation.
Another important area where we are likely to see further improvement is in the software or content. Currently, game developers tend to side with either Unity or Unreal Engine, although there are other engines available. Games are published on platforms like Steam on the PC, through Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear VR on mobile handsets, and will be available on console marketplaces and in game shops.
Despite the fact that their VR headset is slated for launch in two months' time, Sony has not yet released full details of the launch lineup and executives from the tech giant have said that they won't be pushing or forcing game developers into adopting a VR policy. Some developers will be champing at the bit to create what is considered the latest state of the art content, while others may baulk at the potential losses they stand to make if they produce games that are not popular with the game playing public.
Away from entertainment, we are likely to see VR emerge in other sectors and industries. For example, healthcare and medical industries have put VR to good use already. The headsets have not only been used to help train surgeons and other medical professionals but they have even been used to help combat phantom pain that amputees can suffer after losing a limb. VR is extremely useful in training situations, because it means that less skilled doctors can hone and improve those skills without having to be let loose on patients.
Fashion and retail is another area where we should see improvements. Retail companies can use VR to offer experiential advertising and marketing, and they can use the content that they produce to help pre-sell and sell items. Similarly, tourism companies can provide complete tours and real estate companies can offer a similar experience.
Expect more Mixed Reality and Augmented Reality apps too. Pokemon Go showed that there is definite demand for branded augmented worlds, and this means that gaming companies and franchises will look to jump on the bandwagon in the hope of producing games that prove just a fraction as popular as the global phenomenon that is Pokemon Go.
Whatever the future holds, it is potentially very exciting for VR and AR users but also for developers. If you want to try developing virtual worlds, you can download and learn to use Unity or Unreal Engine, both of which are free until you are turning a profit, and it is possible to use asset marketplaces like Best3DModel.com in order to buy existing models that can be customised and used to create immersive experiences.

Hardy Marine acquired by Cockwells Modern & Classic Boatbuilding
Posted on September 24, 2020 by Hardy - Yard News
Cockwells Modern & Classic Boatbuilding has acquired Hardy Marine in a deal that will result in the further expansion of this award-winning Cornish company that celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2021.
With a heritage spanning four decades, Hardy Marine has earned its reputation for building sturdy, high quality, all-weather motor boats that combine excellent engineering with impressive seakeeping and elegant interiors from its Norfolk base.
From its purpose-built, low environmental-impact HQ at Mylor Creek near Falmouth in Cornwall, Cockwells enjoys a reputation for building beautiful bespoke boats – from ultra-luxurious superyacht tenders and stylish motor launches to traditional sailing yachts.
Cockwells is also the proud originator of Duchy Motor Launches – a prestigious, semi-production brand that echoes the classical designs of the gentleman's launch of generations past. These stylish vessels, that range from 21ft to 60ft, can be customised with a seemingly limitless number of optional extras to create a cruising environment that is the pinnacle of modern luxury.
Additionally, Cockwells' Mylor Creek Boatyard is fully equipped to offer refits, restorations and engineering services for local yachts and superyacht tenders from all over the world.
Delivering a range of boats that meet a variety of requirements, the Hardy name has become synonymous with quality, comfort, strength and experience. This, together with superlative after-sales support, has translated into a loyal customer base, repeat business and robust brokerage values.
In parallel with Cockwells' Duchy Motor Launches, the hulls of the Hardy 26 up to the Hardy 65 are semi-displacement designs from the drawing board of Andrew Wolstenholme, who is, arguably, the UK's leading naval architect in this category.
"Both Cockwells and Hardy are committed to building exceptional motor boats that deliver style, reliability, customisation and all the advantages that technological advances can supply," explains Founder and Managing Director, Dave Cockwell.
"The Duchy is predominantly a stylish day boat and occasional weekender. The Hardy is the Duchy's rugged, sea-faring cousin. Cockwells are often asked to build bigger boats for cruising; The Hardy is ideally suited to that market.
"We plan to build on the seakeeping and styling of the Hardy brand, and introduce Duchy-like finesse to some of the fittings such as Cockwells' famous joinery and cutting-edge superyacht technology – to make the Hardy even more yacht," Dave adds.
By 2021, Cockwells will have built 32 Duchy Motor Launches since the company launched the Duchy 27 in 2011, and demand continues to outstrip supply. Cockwells plans to chart the same course with the Hardy 32 to 65 range and increase demand for these exemplary trawler yachts.
The Duchy 35 and the Hardy 65 are past winners of Motor Boat & Yachting Awards, and both brands attract customers who seek high levels of customisation and craftsmanship.
Cockwells' purchase of Hardy Marine will also create jobs. The company already operates from two sites – one in Falmouth as well as the Mylor Creek Boatyard – and has increased its headcount from 30 t0 80 staff in recent years. Cockwells has appointed Julian Weatherill from Hardy Marine to the position of Sales Manager in order to sustain the continuity of the brand.
"The many synergies between Cockwells and Hardy make this a perfect match for me," explains Julian. "Having worked with Hardy clients and owners for the last few years, I am passionate about the brand and know that this new alliance will propel it forward. I am equally delighted to be working with the Cockwells team to drive the sales trajectory of its highly-prized Duchy Motor Launches."
"Whilst many other companies are laying off staff as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, Cockwells is proud to be employing more people," comments Dave. "We have our own in-house design department as well as our own engineering capability and electronic programming. We make our own joinery; we manufacture our own components and sub-contract almost nothing. On the rare occasions that we do sub-contract, we partner with local businesses. We have a dedicated after-sales team, which is very important, and we are undergoing a transition to lean manufacturing to increase productivity and enhance our working environment. With an already successful growth strategy, an international reputation for excellence, a healthy forward order book and our acquisition of the renowned Hardy brand, we are in a very strong position to face the future with confidence."
Cockwells' purchase of Hardy Marine has been made possible as a result of funding from Business Investment for Growth (BIG). Financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and delivered by the Cornwall Development Company, this £3.15m investment fund aims to create 175 skilled jobs in Cornwall.

Why 120-year-old shop in Bath is closing only to reopen in nine months
'Instead of limping along, we thought it would be better to come back after a refurbishment like a phoenix'

One of Bath's oldest shops will soon close only to reopen like a 'phoenix' nine months later.
Silcox Son and Wicks have been in business at 5-7 New Street since 1900.
The family-run furniture business confirmed it is closing down on its Facebook page in response to a customer's question.
However, this has turned out to be something of a red herring.
Charlie Wicks, one of the shop's partners, said Silcox is not closing down for good and only temporarily so it can have a 'radical' refurbishment.
He said building works will start on the building in March and the goal is to re-open after major renovations in December 2020.
"We are not closing down for good," said Charlie, who runs Silcox with his father, Steven.
"We are getting rid of all our stock and we should wind down in February.
"The building work will start in March. We will rejig the layout, do the lighting, heating, flooring, windows and more.
"We will be temporarily shut. It is hard to move to a different place in Bath. We felt it would be easier to do a radical renovation of the place.
"This is our 120th year and we have been in this building for all that time.
"Instead of limping along, we thought it would be better to come back after a refurbishment like a phoenix."
Charlie, part of the fifth generation of the Wicks family to run Silcox, said the business will come back in a slightly different form when it reopens.
"Every 10 years or so, we have a meeting with the family and make changes we feel we need to make," he said.
"We went into high-end containers in the 2000s, around 2008 we went into wholesale and we have experimented with products and design also.
"In the last few years, Bath has changed quite a lot. There are quite a few more businesses in the same industry as we are.
"In 2007 there were 7-8 and now there is 16, including some big names like Sofa.com.
"We have to be modern and change with the times to best serve our customers.
"We are excited about the changes we will make when we return. We are going to make the place more wheelchair friendly, too."
Silcox said this sale is its biggest ever on its Facebook page that
Charlie said an exact closing date has not been set as all the stock has to go.
"We will run the stock down this month and maybe into February," he said.
"For some products, there were discounts of 90 per cent off but most of the clearance sale is between 50-75 per cent.
"The last time we made a structural change to the building was 30 years ago.
"We can still take customer orders. Customers will still get the same level of service."

I was super excited to be photographing Gemma and Gareth's Oakwell Hall wedding on Good Friday.
I had previously photographed weddings at Oakwell Hall Country Park, Birstall in the Hall of the Elizabethan manor house, and was well aware of the amazing gardens and grounds beyond, but this was my first visit to the historic barn for the wedding reception.
The wedding party and many of the guests were staying at the nearby Gomersal Park hotel, with a lot of Gareth's family from Wales to attend the wedding at their Leeds venue. Gemma and the girls were getting ready in one of the family rooms, which offered some extra room for the ladies hair and make-up with Emma from Pokadot hair and make-up and Lindsey from LJR Bridal and special occasion hairdressing.
As Gareth and his Best Men were also at Gomersal Park Hotel, I was able to pop down to the hotel foyer to grab a few shots of them before they headed to Oakwell Hall.
Gemma's mum had arranged a beautiful vintage Rolls Royce to take the wedding party the short distance from the hotel to Oakwell Hall.
Oakwell Hall is a historic 16th century manor house in the village of Birstall near Leeds, West Yorkshire. The Grade I listed hall is set in period gardens surrounded by 110 acres of country park, which make a fantastic backdrop for photographs on your wedding day. I love the hall for wedding ceremonies because the light is directional and dramatic.
The fabulous Steven Heath was providing live music as the guests arrived. Gemma was running a little late, leaving a nervous Gareth stood at the altar until she arrived but when she walked down the aisle, she lit up the entire room and Gareth couldn't take his eyes off her, or stop smiling.
After the bride and groom had exchanged vows, their son and daughter got up to bravely read a lovely poem to their parents.
The barn was decorated with spring flowers and vintage china, set up for afternoon tea with lots of personal touches; a milkshake station for the children to help themselves and personalised Easter eggs, which doubled as name places and favours. After some touching speeches, afternoon tea was served.
Gemma and Gareth had organised for a Kid Zone party bus to arrive, providing entertainment for the children, whilst they enjoyed a cocktail or two. We nipped off for some couple pictures in the extensive grounds. As Gareth is Welsh, we couldn't resist a picture with the sheep statue!
The evening reception commenced, with Steven Heath entertaining everyone with three live sets and music in between. After the first dance as husband and wife, the dance floor was alive and the evening street food was served.
Many congratulations to Gemma and Gareth.

Q: How do I find the centralizer for this matrix?
Let $B=\begin{pmatrix}
2 & 2 \\
 0& 1 \\
\end{pmatrix} \in GL_2(\mathbb{R})$. Determine the centralizer for $B$.

Here's what I've done so far:
Let $D=\begin{pmatrix}
a & b \\
c & d \\
\end{pmatrix} \in GL_2(\mathbb{R})$.
$\begin{align}
BD&=DB\\
\begin{pmatrix}
2 & 2 \\
 0& 1 \\
\end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix}
a & b \\
c & d \\
\end{pmatrix} &= \begin{pmatrix}
a & b \\
c & d \\
\end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix}
2 & 2 \\
 0& 1 \\
\end{pmatrix}\\
\begin{pmatrix}
2(a+c) & 2(b+d) \\
 c& d \\
\end{pmatrix}&= \begin{pmatrix}
2a & 2a+b \\
 2c& 2c+d \\
\end{pmatrix}
\end{align} $
From the above, we have:
$\begin{aligned}
2a+2c&=2a\\
2b+2d&=2a+b\\
c&=2c\\
d&=2c+d
\end{aligned}
$
From which we derive:
$\begin{aligned}
c&=0\\
b+2d-2a&=0\\
d&=d \in \mathbb{R} \backslash \{0\}
\end{aligned}$
As you can see, I've managed to determine $c$ and $d$, but I can't seem to figure out $a$ and $b$. What am I missing?

A: This means that an invertible $2 \times 2$ matrix $D$
commutes with $B$ if and only if it is of the form
$$D=\begin{pmatrix}
a & 2a-2d \\
0 & d \\
\end{pmatrix}$$
for $a,d \in \mathbb{R}\setminus\{0\}$.

A: $\newcommand{\Set}[1]{\left\{ #1 \right\}}$$\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb{R}}$Allow me to sketch a slightly more conceptual approach.
$B$ has clearly the eigenvalues $2$ and $1$, hence it can be diagonalised, and one sees immediately that
$$
T^{-1} B T = \begin{bmatrix}2 & 0\\0 & 1\end{bmatrix},
\quad
\text{for }
T
=
\begin{bmatrix}1 & -2\\0 & 1\end{bmatrix}.
$$
Now the centraliser of $T^{-1} B T$ is immediately seen to be
$$
\mathbf{C}
=
\Set{
\begin{bmatrix}a & 0\\0 & d\end{bmatrix}
:
a, d \in \R \setminus \Set{0}}.
$$
Hence the centraliser of $B$ is
$$
T \mathbf{C}
 T^{-1}
=
\Set{
\begin{bmatrix}a & 2 a - 2 d\\0 & d\end{bmatrix}
:
a, d \in \R \setminus \Set{0}}.
$$

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere sings abusive song about rivals Tottenham
Monday 1 June 2015 08:12, UK
Sky Sports News HQ understands Arsenal will speak to Jack Wilshere after his expletive-laden chant about Tottenham
Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere mocked rivals Tottenham in a foul-mouthed outburst during the FA Cup winners' victory parade on Sunday.
Thousands of Arsenal fans cheered the squad despite the rainy conditions as they paraded on open-top buses from the Emirates Stadium to Islington Town Hall, celebrating the club's record 12th FA Cup victory after successfully retaining the trophy with a 4-0 win over Aston Villa.
The Gunners faithful waited patiently for several hours for the team's return to the Emirates, where skipper Mikel Arteta and vice-captain Per Mertesacker presented the FA Cup on stage.
Euro round-up: Real claim Super Cup title
As the players, who were pictured celebrating in London after their victory on Saturday, revelled in the atmosphere, midfielder Wilshere took to the microphone, in a repeat scenario from 12 months ago.

Wilshere, who has come through the youth ranks at Arsenal, started a chant mocking local rivals Tottenham, asking the crowd: "I have one question, and one question only: what do we think of Tottenham?"... before adding: "And what do we think of ****?", then joining in as the crowd sang back: "We hate Tottenham and we hate Tottenham... we are the Tottenham haters."

Tottenham reached the Capital One Cup final where they lost to Chelsea and went on to finish fifth in the Premier League, below the Gunners once more.
Wilshere then continued with another Arsenal song, as supporters joined in the shouts of, "It has happened again, Tottenham Hotspur, it has happened again".
The microphone was then taken off Wilshere, but he retrieved it, saying: "We have got one more."
As the England international then started the chant "My old man said be a Tottenham fan....", which when sang in full includes more expletives aimed at Spurs, Arsenal broke off from the live broadcast on their in-house media channel. The studio presenter immediately apologised for any offence caused by the player's remarks.
Although not broadcast, the Arsenal supporters responded with chants of "Super Jack Wilshere".
It remains to be seen whether Wilshere will face any action from the Football Association for his outburst.
Wilshere came off the bench after 77 minutes against Villa, and was involved in the goal for Olivier Giroud in stoppage time, as the Gunners recorded the biggest FA Cup final winning margin in more than 20 years.

AU behind in robot uptake, NZ named IoT leader - report ranks countries on digital tech
By Julia Gabel, Fri 24 Nov 2017
The OECD Science, Technology and Industry Scoreboard 2017 has been released, and the report ranks countries on digital technologies, science, and robot uptake, alongside other digital transformation trends.
The report shows how Australia, New Zealand and other OECD countries are pushing ahead in developing new digital technologies, automating manufacturing and ensuring workers have the right skills for tomorrow's jobs.
Among the findings, Australia is a leader in using tax incentives to support business R&D but has one of the lowest shares of robot uptake of OECD countries, while New Zealand is a world leader in the Internet of Things sector.
Moreover, China now ranks among the top five economies - along with Chinese Taipei, Japan, Korea and the United States - in developing cutting-edge digital technologies and is producing more and better quality scientific research.
India and eastern European countries are also increasing their weight in science and innovation.
China, Chinese Taipei, Japan, Korea and the US accounted for 70-100% of the 20 fastest growing new ICT technologies (such as payment protocols or interactive TV) from 2012 - 2015 as measured by inventions patented in the five top Intellectual Property offices.
Korea and Japan are the leaders in robot intensity – measured by the number of robots used in a sector divided by the overall value created by that sector, giving a sense of the pace of automation relative to industry size.
Robot intensity is rising in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovak Republic and Slovenia, and in the BRICS, most notably in China which is fast catching up to US level
The report highlights the fast growth of the Internet of Things, or machine-to-machine communication via Internet-connected devices such as vehicles, sensors or home appliances, is growing fast.
According to the report, China had the most SIM cards in machines in 2017 at 228 million subscriptions, accounting for 44% of global M2M connections and three times the US share.
In terms of M2M cards per person, New Zealand ranks second in the world after Sweden, well ahead of the US and UK.
Australia stands just below the OECD average.
The report reveals the number of artificial intelligence technologies patented in the 5 top IP offices rose by 6% a year on average from 2010 to 2015, led by Japan.
Japan, Korea, and the US together accounted for over 62% of AI-related IP5 patent applications, down from 70% in 2000 - 2005 as filings rose from China and Chinese Taipei.
The findings show EU countries contributed to 12% of the top AI inventions, down from 19% in the previous decade.
The report identifies that the U.S has the biggest share of the world's top 10% most-cited scientific publications. Meanwhile, China has overtaken the UK to lie in second place after tripling its high-impact output in a decade.
Yet, the report also finds that US share of top-cited research fell from 38% in 2005 to 26% in 2016, the UK slipped from 8% to 6% and China increased its share from 4% to 14%.
Australia stands in ninth place with 3%.

There are not many Thursday evenings that are spent watching men dressed as green ogres talking about farting….but last night was one of them. Yes, my 5 year old daughter and I went to watch 'Shrek The Musical' at Bristol Hippodrome. I can categorically confirm that we loved every single minute of it. Shrek The Musical has been touring the country since December 2017 and this month is hitting the stage at Bristol Hippodrome. It opened on Thursday 9th August and runs to Sunday 19th August.
Well, I say every minute, the show starts with Shrek jumping out of the storybook and letting out a huge 'ROOOAAAAARRRR'! At which point she hopped up on to my lap and asked to go home! She soon warmed to him though and watched the rest of the show in awe. Shrek is a favourite in our house at the moment (all of the films, of which there are a few!). So Mila was delighted to be able to see the characters 'in real life'.
Shrek's makeup and costume are fabulous and Mila kept whispering in my ear 'is that a real ogre Mum?' However the outfits for Lord Farquad were without a doubt, amazing! So sassy!!! I have to say, my personal favourite characters were by far Lord Farquad. He threw in a few jokes for the grown ups (and stole the show with a rousing song about his absent father). The fantastic dragon had just the most powerful singing voice too!
I loved the way the stage hands made her move around and Mila was absolutely amazed by the fact a real dragon was in front of her! An act involving tap dancing rats also had the audience dancing along in their seats. The closing song 'I'm a Believer' was a great way to end on a high. All in all, this was a great evening out for all ages and a wonderfully creative stage adaptation of an awesome family film.

My answer to "life, the universe and everything"
I was on the Fox 11 News in LA
Well, barely. I'm in a background shot at work at the Rubicon Project, where the CEO, Frank Addante, talked about starting the company in LA. It's at the end of the video which I have embedded below (which also features the founders of Riot Games).

Arrested Development Season 2
It's hard for me to say which seasons of Arrested Development are my favorite, as there were only 3 of them (see also some thoughts on Season 3). However, I do have a soft spot for Season 2, as it is probably the season that got me into the show in the first place. Season 2 had established even more of the recurring jokes, such as the family chicken dances. It had some great guest stars-Ben Stiller, Dan Castellaneta, and the returning Julia Louis Dreyfus- to mix with the cast and the recurring guest stars such as Henry Winkler and Judy Greer. It's one wacky show that was only too short.
Like my previous post on Season 3, I'll be picking one great quote from each episode (thanks to the OP fansite for the quotes)

The 4400 Season 1
A good show, but not a spectacular one. It's rather predictable and simple in terms of plot, and the characters are rather ordinary. There are only five episodes in all, and there are no extras or even scene selections in these DVDs. Download the episodes instead.
My tribute to Arrested Development
[amazon-product]B000EXDS7K[/amazon-product]So the best comedy on TV just got canceled. I'm talking about Arrested Development, a throughly intelligent and clever comedy. It also happens to be incredibly dirty, self-referential, and quite possibly characters that are too out there for some people, but all of it make it just incredibly funny.

BUENOS AIRES, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Argentine Matias Almeyda has taken charge as coach of relegation-haunted Mexican giants Guadalajara and will make his debut at home to Queretaro on Sunday.
"I've come here to lift this giant," the former River Plate, Lazio and Argentina midfielder said at his official presentation on Friday.
Almeyda, who has coaching experience with River and Banfield in his homeland having steered both to promotion to the first division, takes over from former Mexico coach Jose Manuel de la Torre who was sacked on Monday.
The Chivas, who won the last of their 11 league titles in 2006, are one from bottom of the relegation standings based on teams' average points over three seasons. The bottom team goes down at the end of the season in May 2016.
In the current Apertura championship, Guadalajara are 15th with seven points from eight matches.
"I'm not a magician and I don't have a victory medicine, otherwise I'd sell it and stay in Argentina," Almeyda said.
"I like challenges and I feel I have the capacity for this but I don't want it to be mere words but facts.
"I'm going to leave my last drop of sweat (and) time will tell if the decision (Guadalajara) have taken was good or bad," the 41-year-old said.
Almeyda knows what it is like to be relegated having been a part of the River side relegated for the first time in 2011 in his final season as a player.
He was immediately handed the reins and led River back to the top flight the following season.
Almeyda left River in 1996 after helping them win the Libertadores Cup to play for Sevilla, Parma, Lazio, with whom he won Serie A in 2000, and Inter Milan in a fine European career before returning to River in 2009.


If you are learning how to be a registered realtor or merely would like to know more about real estate, you must first learn more about what a real estate agent actually does. Most individuals think that anyone can be a real estate agent but there are required steps that you need to consider so that you will be able to reap the advantages of becoming in a position to be a real estate agent. A genuine estate agent will turn out to be a realtor when he or she gets to be a member of the Nationwide Affiliation Of Realtors. This is a expert association that keeps the realtors organized and only accepts realtors who pass the specifications.
Then you must look for advice from these who are competent via their own encounters to give it. Would you go to the mechanic to ask about real estate, of program not you would go to the st louis county probate court agent. Seems funny, but people consider advice each working day from well meaning buddies and relatives who mainly are fearful of dropping money, but don't really know what to do with it. Advice is freely offered to the 1 seeking it, but it is your responsibility to decide what to do with that information. To seek money you must surround your self with people who know its laws.
In other parts of the nation the numbers at the finish of final yr had been much even worse. Boston house values had been down 9.six %, whilst Santa Barbara, CA values were down 21.five %. While the housing disaster has been felt throughout the country, the discomfort has definitely been further is some cities.
A conventional lender will look at your credit background, employment history, assets, and the type of home you want to purchase. And if the monthly home loan payment is above 40%25 you might fail for a prime price loan.
Buyers – If you strategy on buying a home then most most likely you will have to pay for a professional appraisal prior to the financial institution will lend you cash. This is to protect the financial institution. You should get an appraisal of the home prior to you make an offer. This will protect you and conserve you cash. Most individuals checklist a house not knowing the true worth of the home. As a purchaser if you get a home appraisal estimate on-line prior to you make an offer you will be able to make an offer that is reasonable and primarily based on historical information. I suggest making an provide for three percent less than the estimated value of the house.
Here you'll find San Francisco luxury home sales more than, under and at inquiring cost. In the first quarter of 2013, there had been 160 home sales of $1.5 million or more in San Francisco. That consisted of 95 houses, 54 condos, 6 co-ops and five TICs.
One factor is for particular about achievement and using control more than your life: you require to learn from the very best, from those who have currently absent before you and have the fruits that you want.

Vodacom's annual GBV March petitions men to stand up, call out, and address the violent and aggressive behaviour many women face every day
Men need to be the champions in the fight against women abuse and femicide
JOHANNESBURG – Vodacom, today hosted the third edition of its Vodacom Walk in the fight against Gender based violence event, in support of the 16 Days of Activism of No Violence against women and children. Led by men, members of Vodacom EXCO, government representatives, interest groups, the march, which is in partnership with the Nelson Mandela Foundation and Global Citizen, continues the fight against the abuse of women and children in South Africa, particularly at a time when South Africa is gripped by a spate of senseless violence against women and children.
Gender-based violence in South Africa is unprecedented. According to the latest GBV research, one in four women will experience violence by men and are five times more likely to be killed. A woman is murdered every three hours in South Africa. The issue is a social ill of our time that has started reversing the strides made in gender equality since the dawning of our democracy 25 years ago.
Takalani Netshitenzhe, Chief Officer: Corporate Affairs, at Vodacom said: "For us at Vodacom we view violence against women as a violation of human rights and the greatest impediment towards gender equality. Addressing gender-based violence requires urgent collaboration from all South Africans and Africans. Whether young or old, men and women, whatever race, rank, age, gender or social class, and more especially in the digital age, gender-based violence knows no borders. It is one of the greatest social ills of our time."
"This year's campaign is focused on South African men, appealing to them to be the light, change agents and play an active role in ridding our society of gender violence. Gender-based violence requires men to stand up, call out, and address the violent and aggressive behaviour that we see many women face every day. For this to happen, men need to be the champions in the fight against women abuse and femicide, while shining a light on those perpetrators who continue to abuse women and children without fear or consequence."
As a long-standing partner of government and civil society organizations that champion the rights of women and children, a few years back Vodacom launched a gender-based violence ecosystem. The ecosystem is anchored on the triple Cs, which is what Vodacom is doing for its customers, colleagues and communities.
Vodacom is currently working with Vodafone to introduce a mobile-based App which will serve as a risk assessment tool for the App users to determine if they are in an abusive relationship so that they could seek help. Through this mobile-based App, the user will be able to compile and keep a journal of abusive incidents that could serve as evidence during criminal investigation and prosecution. Vodacom plans to launch this App in the 2020 calendar year.
For a response mechanism, on 26 March 2014, Vodacom and the Department of Social Development Department worked together to launch the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Command Centre. Vodacom contributed R4million into this partnership for the creation of a call centre that is managed by trained government-employed social workers. In December 2016, a Skype capability was launched at the call centre to give access to the victims of gender-based violence from the deaf community. The call centre receives an alarming average of 22000 calls per month. These calls result in tele-counseling at the centre and some calls, based on the severity of the case, are referred to the community-based social workers and the South African Police Service. However, the handover process needs improvement to see more successful prosecutions.
The Centre can be reached as follows:
By dialing 0800 428 428 or via USSD on *120*7867#.
A Skype line 'HelpMeGBV' for members of the Deaf Community.
An SMS-based line '31531' for people with disabilities. (SMS Help to 31531).
In March 2019, Vodacom stepped up its efforts to support its employees by implementing an HR policy specifically for victims of domestic violence and abuse. The support provided by this policy includes an allocation of 10 days fully-paid leave and makes available resources such as free access to the company's Employee Assistance programme which provides counselling and life management tools – as well as the 24-hour victim support and counselling call centre, the Gender-Based Violence
For victim empowerment, Vodacom has partnered with government to provide digital literacy to victims of GBV. Since the inception of the victims' empowerment program, the telco has spent R2.5 million to deploy computers and to train more than 1 300 survivors of violence.
"The time of issuing strongly worded statements each time there's an upsurge of gender-based violence hit our country is over. Corporates need to match their words with bold actions. The time is now for Corporate South Africa to roll up its sleeves and use its core capabilities to design and propose innovative solutions to help the government and civil society to effectively fight gender-based violence," concluded Netshitenzhe.

There are numerous different mental disorders, and they all have their challenges. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), the official guide to psychiatric disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association (2013), contains 20 separate chapters listing and explaining nearly 300 different mental illnesses (List of Mental Illnesses). While all are different, all have something in common: the different mental disorders, each in its own way, create challenges. They disrupt life, interfere with functioning, cause emotional and/or physical pain, and generally create a great deal of distress.
Indeed, all of the different mental disorders have unique challenges, but they share this important feature: they all cause impairment and distress. Distress, though, is common to everyone whether or not someone lives with mental illness. Perhaps it is this that leads often well-meaning people to say things like, "Why can't you just get over it?" Many people living with different mental disorders and all of their challenges find this question and, ultimately, the lack of understanding of mental illness by others, to be among the greatest struggles.
mental disorders cause significant harm and dysfunction, such as great personal suffering, relationship difficulties, an inability to work, and an increased mortality risk.
eating disorders (which can also be externalizing).
These mental illnesses have unique challenges. People living with internalizing mental disorders are at heightened risk of withdrawal from people and society, isolation, loneliness, poor self-concept and self-efficacy (the belief in oneself and one's ability to achieve goals).
Externalizing disorders involve social dysfunction and can wreak havoc on the person's life in a drastically different way than can the internalizing disorders. Those experiencing externalizing disorders often face social problems, legal problems, and contentious clashes at school, work, home, and any other place that is frequented.
All of the different mental disorders in all 20 disorder chapters in the DSM-5 have significant challenges that severely interfere in life and the healthy living of it.
As mentioned above, while different kinds of mental illness have unique challenges, they also have shared challenges. Whether someone experiences an internalizing disorder or an externalizing one, he or she often feels apart from the world, unwelcome both within him/herself and in society.
Thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all affected by the different mental disorders. Together, all of this is a perfect, swirling storm that increases the risk of suicide.
That is the biggest challenge of all among all of the different mental illnesses. While most people who experience mental illness don't die by suicide, suicidal ideation is common; further, more than 90 percent of people who die by suicide have a diagnosable mental illness (University of Washington, 2015).
Learning about mental illness and all of its facets, the different mental disorders and their challenges, can help reduce the challenges and increase functioning and wellness.

Daryl Dixon Pop! Exclusive Hitting Wal-Mart
By bill - August 12, 2014
- Email
What's black and white and Walking Dead all over? Wal-Mart, apparently.
Funko has just revealed a Wal-Mart exclusive variant of the Pop! vinyl Daryl Dixon, which sees the AMC TV show hero in a simplified, black and white deco. And once again, Funko is proving themselves to be among the best companies at keeping their exclusives a surprise, because this guy is already starting to ship to stores nationwide!
Of course, since this is Wal-Mart we're dealing with, half of the Walking Dead pallets– containing Daryl and other Pop! figures– will likely remain collecting in a stock room rather than going on display in the electronics department where they should be. But if you're into Pop! figures, I wish you the best of luck that your Wal-Mart will be one of the stores not managed by dummies.
Even if that description DOES apply to your local store, Funko is running a contest to give away one of these exclusive Daryl's… you can check them out on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram for more details.

I grew up on the Muppets, so of course I have to have a Kermit in scale with the Avengers and Justice League. So how can I do that? Simple, get addicted to collect Minimates!

One for the Dads › Comments on Miscellaneous Dances (Have Your Say)
Old Grey Whistler
MURPHY'S LAW - TOTP
Troupe: Zoo
Dancers: Angela, Clive, Jeanette, Julie, Penni, and Yvonne
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlEU_aAzCS0
I have made a U turn!
I was all set to showcase our dancing PM on her journeys around Africa, however I have performed a U turn because if I featured a Conservative politician then in the interests of political balance I would also have to feature a Labour politician. The only dancing Labour figure that I can think of is Ed Balls, and I am pleased to report that this is a designated Balls free zone – apart from the stuff that I write of course.
Therefore there will be no politicians on show at all, however if you really want to see a group of sorry individuals from the left and right making fools of themselves before succumbing to inevitable defeat and humiliation, then I can probably get you a season ticket at Stoke.
So instead we are going to the Zoo. You know what it's like visiting the zoo. You go there hoping to see the lions but they are all asleep behind a bush and you have to make do with having a selfie with a meerkat, who by the way has no interest in helping you change energy supplier. Much the same applies to the dance troupe, Zoo. You would tune in hoping to see Julie, the other Julie and Jeanette performing a Legs & Co style routine, but more often than not you would just get Wesley doing a forward roll or Lance spinning around on the floor. That is assuming they were on the show at all. By July 1982 they didn't seem to appear very often.
The American / Canadian duo Cheri reached No 13 in the UK with Murphy's Law. I had never heard of this song before it appeared on the BBC4 reruns and I don't think I have heard it since.
This performance was requested many moons ago by Ryan. It feels more in keeping with the style of Legs & Co than a normal Zoo performance. We had seen Flick use shadow effects before in I Wish and My Way and the set bears some resemblance to a combination of Green Onions and Let Em In.
The shadow effects do fit the 'chipmunk' sounds on the record well but the effect is marred early on by the sight of Clive's gloved hand appearing around the screen. It wasn't really his fault, it was more down to a poor camera angle.
The dancers do a fine job and we get some good close ups and they really engage well with the camera.
I can understand why Julie Brown is highly thought of, but in this routine I am captured by the girl in the pink dress with the large polo mints, who I believe is Angela.
This is a really good performance and an example of what Zoo could have done on a more regular basis had they been given the opportunity. Having said that I suppose there would have been no point in replacing Legs & Co with a troupe that was going to do the same sort of dance, so Zoo had to be different really.
I will score it 9 out of 10. I am expecting a high score to come in from Ryan but will the rest of you agree or not? I am looking forward to finding out.
For those of you who are abroad and confused about the meerkat reference, the link below may help!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75VpOGcotlU&index=1&list=PLWQDRpNvGuov1czH_YYGqH_beWB4jqdXV
Without Legs & Co, there would be no show!
Re: MURPHY'S LAW
Yeah, who needs Legs & Co when we have these 5 replacement cuties to look forward too every week. Of course i'm only joshing, that obviously wasn't the case. More often than not the menagerie that was the dance troupe Zoo contained a diverse range of mixed dancers and it wasn't always to my taste. But every now and again, well lets say about half a dozen times i found they produced some excellent routines and this in my view was the best of the lot. From the moment i first watched this on the TOTPs re-runs on the 21st Oct 2016 i was hooked.
With no fellas on show, albeit for the geezer in silhouette doing his best Floid `I Wish` impression, the five girls look simply stunning in their short dresses. The stand-out dancer is the impressive Julie B. If ever a dancer had that special something then it was her. If i was to comprise a dream team dance troupe, she would be in it, no danger. The other four girls make for delightful viewing too.
What do i enjoy ? The song is superb with sexy vocals, the routine matched it perfectly. I like all the nodding stuff, finger clicking, revolving doors, smiles, hip gyrating. Granted its no masterpiece of choreography, but i find it a joy to watch, so uplifting and enjoyable. Im entertained, which surely is the main criteria. Would i have preferred it to have been five members of Legs & Co, well yeah, no question. But these five are ample replacements. Without any hesitation im awarding a maximum 10. Hats off to OGW for picking this brilliant choice.

Well, how different we all are. I had to watch this again for this thread as I couldn't really remember it, and then realized why. There are a couple of things that I find it really annoying here: firstly the song completely ticks me off, I could never stand it. Then the flickering lights. Give me eye cancer. And, last but not least, the utterly redundant noise from the crowd. (On second thought, it was probably canned!)
Granted, the girls look nice (although I don't find any of them extraordinarily attractive), and the dance moves are ok. But there is absolutely nothing to get me excited about. Watch it, fairly enjoy it and then forget it.
But 10 / 10 for a magnificent intro. OGW, I wonder if I can I hire you as a ghost writer for the next PPCT entries?

Hmmmm … Zoo almost always put me in a quandary and this is no exception. Firstly I find myself agreeing with Vin for the most part about this dreadful song; what is it with this Chipmunk stuff?? Is there some small mammal with significant longevity somewhere making a mint or is it just the songs' usual singers on helium or digitally converted a few octaves?? I have no idea why they do it but it irritates the crap out of me. And Vin's right about the silly crowd noise too. Sorry for ranting and it's not the Dancers' fault I know and I managed to forgive Don't Stop the Music but that was Legs & Co conquering a short tree-mammal section and I liked the rest of the song and this is Zoo and the Chipmunks are much more pervasive and I don't like the rest of the song much either. Next we have the set, which I find a bit annoying too: I was kind of hoping that they would solve the Zebra puzzle but I guess not. OTOH the ladies do look quite hot and the moves are rather fetching too. My fave is the wild-haired lady in the converted bin-liner (actually it looks as if I myself designed and made the top half) and sorry I don't know many Zoo names so I don't know who I'm talking about here despite my admiration. I think 6/10 might be a fair assessment for me but I am tempted to turn off the sound when I watch.
(and I do agree OGW's intros are very very good)
This post was updated on .
This is the first time I've seen this routine and I also felt that there was a very slight Legs feel about the outing, and why not if Flick was choreographing.
As for the individual behind the screen, I though it might have been Danny John-Jules taking a break from Strictly training, but whoever it was I could have done without them. Their presence just added to the many camera cuts, too many for my liking, which seemed to impair the flow of the routine. Neither will it come as any surprise that the noises from the audience, and back sight of them, I could have also happily lived without since my audience culling tendency is already well documented.
The song was awful, but then so many of them are, so I shall not let that colour my judgement of the dance. However, as ever with this troupe unfamiliarity with the dancers acts as a drag to becoming really involved; that and too many odd hair-does. As for bin-liners, you can keep em, but I did like the outsized green bead necklace.
An entertaining enough offering and one that, primarily based on dress length, I may give a second airing to. As for a score I think a very generous 7.
PS. Who was wearing said green bead necklace?
Gorgeous Daze
P4PM, the girl who might have been styled by you is Jeanette Landray. She took a cool path the next year providing vocals for Robert Smith and Steve Severin of The Banshees' collaborative project, The Glove.

SF, the name in your void wearing the green necklace is Yvonne 'Voyd' Evans.
Well we have had five ratings so far and five different scores!
Thanks for all of the reviews so far and to Vin and P4PM for their kind comments and to GD for his assistance with the ID's.
Vin, I think I might pass on the chance to ghost write for PPCT. It takes me long enough to write these! I am looking forward to being able to rate some more PP dances though.
I don't think the flickering lights were really necessary. They don't enhance the dance but equally in my opinion they don't spoil it, although it was an extra complication when it came to getting screencaps. The crowd noises are irritating but I think it was all part of Hurll's party atmosphere. The song is awful but these sorts of songs always seem to chart well.

I like the song as much as i like the routine. I find the girl singers voice sexy and that just enhances the enjoyment of the whole thing. Thats the key thing, enjoying and being entertained and i find i am very much so in this. But i also appreciate this ain't everyone's cup of tea.
I suppose for me this is one of the more memorable ZOO performances because it's so easy to imagine Legs performing it. Perhaps Flick had felt she had made her point to such a degree by now about having a new kind of dance troupe on the show that she felt comfortable about going back to doing a routine more in the Pans/Legs tradition. I'm glad she did. I rather like this, okay it would have been better with the dancers we know and love, but it still has a jaunty personality about it and JB has an infectious smile, though the other girls are far more straight-faced, almost in a Hot Gossip style strop in places. However, sulky dancers apart, the performance keeps the interest up throughout. On a side note, that strange mural causes me to see things that aren't really there. Is it just a random pattern, or can others see zebras in it?
Retro and fun, I'll score this 8.5/10
In reply to this post by Gorgeous Daze
Thanks for the identification GD.
I'd forgotten about the song Murphy's Law, maybe because it's actually quite forgettable, and that bit that sounds like the Smurfs singing is really awful as it makes you think of the Smurfs, and then you think of Legs & Co dancing to that Smurf song and it's such a shocking memory that you can't get rid off it, and then you wish you hadn't heard this song because it put that memory back in your head. I hope by tomorrow I'll have forgotten it again.
So, Murphy's Law says anything that can go wrong will go wrong.... especially when Simon Bates is presenting. Nothing goes wrong here though if you exclude the wobbly rotating boards which, when the girls spin them you hope it's going to be a magic trick and the girl's are magically replaced by another girl when the screen is turned. That would have been amazing to see, but it doesn't happen unfortunately.
Downtown Julie Brown is the standout dancer here – she's got a lot of bounce and energy hasn't she? The short dresses are the thing that impresses me the most.
I'll bench mark this against how I'd imagine Legs & Co would have done it…. and I imagine L&C to have done it much better, so Zoo get 6/10
KAL's Law states that anything dance related will be shown at Still Getting There time whereas Murphy's Law causes Zoo to increase their retro capabilities. It's rather 'Legsy' in feel, although such is the peripheral connection experienced in many of their dance routines - reflecting the trend and Hurllean demand of the time - this performance might have served well as a Zoo reboot. In much the same way as Man U. have inevitably toiled (tee-hee) in replacing the legendary Sir Alex, by July '82 enough time and distance may have elapsed for TOTP to return their resident dance act back to something more akin in style to Legs' final year. Alas it was not to be. However, in many ways, this routine reminds me of an alternate Green Onions with particular regard to the 60's style sets and costumes which seem swinging yet contemporary to '82 too - a clever achievement. There's more of a connection and none more so than from Julie Brown in communication with any close-up camera trained on her.
The record's body reminds one of Will Powers' dance album although the Chipmonk moments are more 'grate' than great.
7/10 for the performance.
10/10 for the amusing opening post.
Thanks to GD from me too for the ID and musical connection
How fondly I recall summer 82. In the interests of context and self-indulgence I decided to watch the whole parent edition again and the likes of Visage, Queen, Dollar (who I might previously have expressed being keen on) Captain Sensible and a seriously hot Natasha to see it out made for a very enjoyable sojourn back to life as it should be. Little doubt there'd be more I could celebrate, but in a taste of the future encompassing our current residency in 86, for footballing reasons this is a pared down half hour show. Sadly length is about all the equality there is for me, it's inescapable how much quality and fun has drained away over those four World Cup-bridging years: from undefeated to cheated isn't a bad metaphor. TOTP would eventually get like trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, but in 86 the material was still just about there for a much better show had Headcheat Mr Hurll retained a dance troupe and other trimmings. As much as he got things wrong, once he had leveled it out the vibrancy the party atmosphere brought was bottled sunshine in our living rooms.
So in the midst of it all are five babes in very short dresses and a silhouette dude who for some unfathomable reason I don't remember noticing at all from the first time. I see him now as the impish shadow of Murphy himself and a minor dilution. The audience are whooping them up - there's no objection to that here - and though it's a bit of a funny song which was imprinted on my memory no more than Clive was, I'm not particularly critterphobic.
Make no mistake those cheek-skimming outfits outshine everything bar Julie's smile, but the choreography isn't bad either, revolving in no small part around revolving, both literally and in the ever-changing arrangement of dancers, which in the way that it's done I find all to the good. There's lots of playfulness and good engagement with the viewer; plenty of bounce from the former UK disco dancing champion Julie, she'd easily have DOTD sewn up, but Angela's flirty kitten approach deserves a mention, with Penni figuring in dispatches too. In keeping with the TOTP performer experience there is perhaps just a smidgen too long spent sitting around, but it ain't no big deal.
The hairstyles are totally eighties, the dresses sixties-inspired. Befitting the thrift of contemporary art student sensibilities and no bad thing they look homemade, where often progressively-minded mums handy with the old needle and thread provided help. You'd think to look at her that It was from this sort of background that Jeanette emerged, for one. Her styling and attitude is the most post-punk, betraying that she was more comfortable with the edgier music she was soon to turn her talents to. Much too moody here and for my money the least enthusiastic finger-snapper. She can't compete with the sparkling warmth of Julie, which works much better with the music than her colleague's overly cool interpretation. Yvonne doesn't seem quite at ease with the lightness of it either. Jeanette's better seen providing dreamy balletic adornment for H20 the following year.
Legsesque it is, but it isn't time spent with old friends and Julie apart this selection, as with Zoo generally, doesn't quite exude the personality of Legs & Co. Maybe it was a matter of time, maybe not, but it's like watching a team mainly of reserves. But even with these misgivings I still like this a lot and find myself nodding back at them at the closing scene. It would be maximum territory with the right personnel and I think 9.25/10 represents my conflicted feelings overall.
No conflict over OGW's intro though - another 10/10!
Thanks for all of the reviews received so far. Quite a wide range of scores and opinions. We find ourselves stuck on 9 reviews again so it would be great if someone could submit one and send us over the edge.
I would also just like to ask GD a question. Do you record all the repeats and if so on what format?
Yes OGW, I've been recording all the repeats since those of late 77, I keep them on DVD+RWs.
Gorgeous Daze wrote
Thanks GD, I record them on DVD as well but I don't record the whole shows, just the songs that I like, the chart rundown and the number one. Usually it works at about 20 - 25 minutes per show. I cut out the songs I don't like to save on disc space.
Quite a wide range of scores and opinions.
Yes there are, but it's averaging lower than I expected. Hope we have a few more animal lovers to come.
The concept of 'Zoo' was a sound one, select your group of dancers each week based on the record the dance is to interpret, so why don't these performances have the repeat appeal of Flicks other dance groups?. Despite the initial hype with Zoo the 3 minute dance spot became less and less an integral part of show because the group (if you can indeed call them that, how about nebulous collective?) couldn't develop much of a viewer fan base, essential to keep the audience interested.
This routine is pretty good really, the girls have 80s style frizzy hair contrasting with their 60s style outfits, and those animal print backdrops look nice too. The body popping shadow is a neat touch and not overused, Flick getting the token male in there too.
Its got the right ingredients, performed well but for me its difficult to get too enthusiastic about it sadly, 7/10.
Legsfan
Well this is one of the few Zoo routines that I really like and it the sort of thing we would expect Legs to dance to. I've always said that Angela looks like Cherry from Pan's People, so anything with her in is a winner. I was quite surprised to see how much was exposed in this routine, but then again if you turn on BBC 1 past 9pm these days it's much worse.
I really like this routine and I personally think that it is one of Zoo's best.
Devoted to Pan's People & Legs & Co.

California Legislators Halt Cadiz Water Project, Bill Heads To Gov. Newsom's Desk
July 11, 2019 /in California and the U.S., Home Headline, Media Coverage /by Ed Joyce /Palm Springs Desert Sunby Janet Wilson and Sam Metz
The Cadiz groundwater pumping project in the Mojave Desert hit a major roadblock on Thursday, when the California State Assembly advanced a bill that could halt its progress for up to two years. If the bill becomes law, Cadiz, Inc.'s proposed project will need to undergo additional environmental review to prove its extraction plans will not harm the surrounding desert. S.B. 307, authored by Sen. Richard Roth, D-Riverside, cleared the Assembly 49-23, where it was led by Assemblywoman Laura Friedman, D-Glendale, who carried similar Cadiz-related legislation in 2017 and 2018 that stalled before final votes. After years of legislative battles and intense lobbying, the bill now only needs Gov. Gavin Newsom's signature to become law.

California's Coast Is Disappearing, And The Debate Over What To Do About It Is In Full Swing
July 11, 2019 /in California and the U.S., Media Coverage /by Ed Joyce /Los Angeles Timesby Diya Chacko
Even as quakes, wildfires and drought have taken up most of our focus, the slow-moving disaster of rising seas has paralyzed Californians, and left us with "both too much and not enough time" to act, as environment reporter Rosanna Xia wrote in a special report examining sea level rise and the future of California's disappearing coastline. The report, read by more than half a million people since it was published online and in print on Sunday, laid out our limited options in a future where certain areas of California will almost certainly be submerged. Cities such as San Francisco, Pacifica, Imperial Beach and many more are already dealing with the ocean at their doorstep.

Oceanside Drinking Water Is Safe
July 11, 2019 /in Media Coverage, San Diego County /by Ed Joyce /The Coast Newsby Samantha Taylor Mentioned: San Diego County Water Authority
The city wants residents to know its drinking water is more than safe, according to its recently released 2018 Water Quality Report. According to the report, the city didn't detect lead in its drinking water and is compliant with federal and state lead regulations. The report lists all detected substances in the city's drinking water, broken down by each of its three sources. The city tests for more than 90 different substances throughout the year. According to Water Utilities Director Cari Dale, the city closely monitors its drinking water to "ensure the highest quality of water is delivered" to customers.

Changes To Operations Of Sweetwater Authority Raise Some Concerns

A series of changes related to the operations of the Sweetwater Authority has given rise to concerns that the South Bay water agency's governing board has ceded too much power to the general manager and diminished transparency. Among the set of revisions to policies that govern the water agency and its governing board: directors are no longer allowed to seek information from staff without the general manager's knowledge, the Sweetwater Authority is no longer required to keep minutes of meetings when directors on committees convene and the general manager is now allowed to spend up to $75,000 without board approval.

Audit Reveals Major Lack Of Planning On Multimillion-Dollar 'Smart Meter' Project
July 11, 2019 /in Media Coverage, San Diego County /by Ed Joyce /Voice of San Diegoby Ry Rivard
The city of San Diego's plan to replace every water meter in the city is more than two years behind schedule, millions of dollars over budget and probably won't be finished for at least another three years, according to a city audit released Thursday. The audit, prompted in part by a Voice of San Diego and NBC 7 Responds investigation, gives new insight into the city's outrageous lack of planning for a multimillion-dollar project involving one of the most basic municipal services: water. For years, the city has wanted to install over a quarter-million new "smart" water meters, which are supposed to increase billing accuracy, provide real-time data on water use and eliminate the need for city employees to go to homes and offices across the city to read each meter.

East County Advanced Water Purification Program Gets $9.4M In Interim Funding
July 11, 2019 /in Media Coverage, San Diego County /by Ed Joyce /Water World
The East County Advanced Water Purification Program progressed closer to completion with its program's partner agencies — Padre Dam Municipal Water District, the City of El Cajon, Helix Water District and the County of San Diego — approving an Interim Funding Agreement (IFA). The IFA will ensure that the program can move forward with funding for the next year. The IFA states each agency will commit $2.35 million ($9.4 million total) towards the program that aims to create a new, local, sustainable and drought-proof drinking water supply using state-of-the-art technology to purify East San Diego County's recycled water.

The Fight Over Monterey Peninsula's Water Future is a Debate Over Who Gets To Decide

What is at stake is the water supply for the Monterey Peninsula. Consuming water drawn from the Carmel River is no longer feasible, neither ecologically nor legally. But the power to decide on an alternative supply is largely vested in the hands of public officials from outside the region.
