Australian players can now find a growing number of perfectly secure online casinos to play at and these impressive gambling portals are powered by some of the world's leading online casino software providers. They also happen to be controlled by some of the most reputable operators in the world. However, none of these online casinos actually operate from within Australian boarders. They are licensed by authorities which are based in oversees jurisdictions and they are all controlled by foreign operators.
If you are based in Australia and fancy having a flutter in the real cash mode at an online casino, you would actually be breaking the law if you played at a casino which does operate from WITHIN Australian boarders, but there is no current law which prohibits Australian players from gambling at an online casino which operates from oversees. The Australian government does issue online gambling licenses to Australian operators who wish to open an online casino, but these operators CANNOT accept Australian players. This is in accordance with the Interactive Gambling Act of 2001. When searching for an Australian online casino it's always going to be wise to seek the advise of experts in recommending online casinos for Australians.
Today's best Australian online casinos are mainly powered by Microgaming, Playtech and Net Entertainment, plus you can also now find a growing number of secure AU online casinos which are powered by Realtime Gaming. These casinos all welcome Australian players and they cater for their needs in a number of different ways. For example, Aussies can deposit, play and withdraw in their own currency and they can use a variety of perfectly secure Australian online payment options to make deposits & withdrawals. Australian players can also benefit from 24 hour toll-free telephone support and this useful number is generally a local Australian landline number.
Australian players can benefit from English language support at these casinos and they can also take advantage of some attractive Australian themed promotional offers. Today's best AU online casinos are often packed with a diverse range of online casino games, which include classic pokies, video pokies, table games, card games, video pokers, multiplayer games, progressive jackpot games, instant win games and much more. Live dealer games such as Live Blackjack, Live Roulette and Live Baccarat can now be found in many of the best Australian online casinos, plus the majority of these AU online casinos are also now available on mobile.
The best advice to give Australian players would be to only ever play in an online casino which does actually cater specifically for Australians. You can sign up to an online casino providing you are at least 18-years-old and it will take just a few minutes to register a free account. A growing number of fully licensed online casinos for Australian players are popping up all the time, but the best thing to do would be to carry out your own research into a site (and its operator) prior to opening an account with them.

Stuart E. Siegel, MD, shares advice for parents with a child with pediatric cancer and explains how pediatric cancer is typically diagnosed

How pediatric cancer is typically diagnosed
Most of the time childhood cancer is diagnosed because of specific symptoms. There are situations where it's first picked up during the general yearly visit to the pediatrician. Which I, by the way, highly recommend. Because, sometimes when that happens, it's picked up early. Which is a good thing. But, the vast majority of times it's with specific symptoms. And, it depends on the kind of cancer. For instance, leukemias or cancers of blood and bone marrow are usually picked up by a drop in a normal blood counts. That cause excessive bleeding, anemia. You're pale, you're tired. Sometimes intermittent fevers that won't go away. Where as solid tumors are usually picked up because of the pain or discomfort, or even a lump that someone sees. There is a particular kind of cancer in the eye, in the children, called retinoblastoma, which is picked up by the mother, or often the grandmother, happing to notice in the child that the pupil is white, instead of the usual red color. That's because the tumor is growing in the back of your eye. It's called the cat's eye. So, it just depends on the kind of cancer that tells you that there may be something going on. Brain cancer, as I said, is the most solid common cancer that we see in children. Most of the time brain cancers present with one of the few symptoms. Either severe headache, nausea and vomiting, particularly in the morning due to increased brain pressure caused by the tumor. A neurological change like a weakness or loss of sensation. Or even a seizure that indicates something is going on in the brain. Loss of a use of a leg or an arm. Or some subtle symptom like that, that would tell you something is going on in the brain. Sometimes visual or hearing abnormalities can be a symptom of this as well. So, it's usually related to what the tumor is doing inside the brain that makes the symptom, that makes you to detect that something is going on in that area.

Home News & Events Statement From Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on Flooding in Guyana
Statement From Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on Flooding in Guyana
Contact: Deanna Congileo
The Carter Center
ATLANTA....Americans showed unprecedented compassion and generosity in response to the Asian tsunami disaster. Once again tragedy has struck, this time in Guyana, a small country on the northern coast of South America, where The Carter Center has supported political, social, and economic development since 1991. Record rainfall in January has caused flooding severely affecting as many as 200,000 people living in low-lying coastal areas near the capital Georgetown. According to the Red Cross, food security, water, sanitation and the deteriorating public health situation require immediate attention as many thousands are stranded and deaths are occurring. The Government of Guyana and U.S. relief officials estimate it will take a month for the waters to recede, provided heavy rains do not continue. I strongly encourage a quick and generous response from governments to the upcoming United Nations Consolidated Appeal process and from citizens to reputable charities, like the International Federation of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent society.
The Carter Center is not a relief or aid organization and does not engage in emergency relief efforts. However, President and Mrs. Carter urge individuals and governments to donate to those organizations that do.
The Carter Center was founded in 1982 by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, in partnership with Emory University, to advance peace and health worldwide. A not-for-profit, nongovernmental organization, the Center has helped to improve life for people in more than 65 countries by resolving conflicts; advancing democracy, human rights, and economic opportunity; preventing diseases; improving mental health care; and teaching farmers to increase crop production. Please visit www.cartercenter.org to learn more about The Carter Center.


care of trumpet vines and clematis.
Do you cut trumpet vines and clematis back in the fall? We get a lot of snow and very cold. I just planted the trumpet vine, and the care instructions are rather sketchy on the tag. We've had the clematis for several years, and it does fine, but I have never cut it back. The only thing is that when it blooms it does so on brown, dried out looking vines, which makes me wonder if I should cut it back yearly so that the vines are new and green? Thanks.

So I know it's over and done with, but I thought you might like to see some of the sights caught at this year's Cactus Classic Open Derby. Micheal Berg and Outta Dough marked a 227 to win the Open & Int. Open Derby divisions at the Cactus Classic, held March 6 in Scottsdale, Arizona.
At the 2010 rendition of the show held this past March 3-7 at Westworld Park, over $100,000 was awarded to reining competitors.
Outta Dough owned by Dorothy Queen of Whitesboro, Texas and rode by Michael Berg marked a smoking 227 to win the coveted Open and Int. Open Derbies. The bay horse is sired by Gallo Del Cielo and out of Dough Olena (by Doc O'Lena). Altogether they took home a cheque worth $15,669.
Canada had some excellent representation. Christa Turel of Olds, Alberta, and her red dun mount, BMD Smart Whiz scored a respectable 218.5 in the Ltd. and Int. Open Derbies. Samantha Griffin of De Winton, Alberta, rode Dun Playin Tag (Whiz N Tag Chex x Brennas Dunit Fancy x Hollywood Dun It) and marked a 221 to earn the reserve championship in the Non-Pro division. Together they earned $3,780.
Shawna Sapergia of Calgary, Alberta, showed Its Wimpys Turn and Sammie Little Step, both owned by Outrider Ranch. Outfitted in the most detailed and color-coordinated show outfits, she was beautiful as always.
The Cactus Reining Classic is a NRHA "A" rated event.
And participants from all over the United States and Canada attend each year. Some amazing runs are put together in the show's five-day span: it makes for some good watching!
My friend Marcy Ver Meer and the stallion, Gunners Special Nite put together a fantastic 225.5 in the derby.
And trends for the year are often showcased at this event. Here, Andrea Fappani showed off his gorgeous mounts and their equally as stunning locks. Banded manes are something I've never seen in reining competition before.
If you're in Scottsdale next March, be sure to check this show out! Hosted in the valley of the sun, the 2010 Cactus Classic is a reining feast for the eyes.


HANSARD 1803–2005 → 1940s → 1940 → November 1940 → 13 November 1940 → Commons Sitting → AIRCRAFT PRODUCTION.
asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Aircraft Production what progress is being made in the settling of claims for compensation of firms in the West Country whose factories have been requisitioned by the Ministry of Aircraft Production; and whether it is possible to make a payment on account where a full settlement will take a long time?
The claims received include matters for which compensation is not payable under the Compensation (Defence) Act, 1939, but where the need to eliminate such items causes delay in final settlement, arrangements have been made for payment on account.
Would my hon. and gallant Friend bear in mind that many of the companies that have been requisitioned have shown great public spirit in assisting other companies which have taken the factories over, and will he, therefore, pay great attention to those claims?
I fully endorse what my hon. Friend has said, and I certainly agree with what he suggests.

Chad Johnson, the high-profile NFL wide receiver known as "Ochocinco", returned to the world of competitive athletics Sunday, taking the field with Boca Raton FC's Florida Gulf Coast League side.
While many of the great soccer players who have written the history of the game hail from the Americas, most of the sport's history is preserved from a European perspective. Whether it's club greatness or international competition, the Continent dominates the long-term view. A Miami Beach auction house, FUTBOLASTA Auctions, is seeking to change that and make available to fans important pieces of history related to the global game and its significance in North and South America.
Soccer fans in South Florida have an interesting event to look forward to next week. The SPORTELSummit Miami Beach will bring a number of important figures in the sports world together to discuss the issues of the day. However, there are some notable absences that leave participants and followers asking: What happened?
Most of the world has put a pause on club football until March 27 due to the International Break. That means you may be seeing more notable faces around town, as a high-profile friendly has drawn two World Cup sides to Miami-Dade, while other players come to soak up the sun.


Vapor. What's it like? It's a light thing. In the gas phase, it's not weighty. It does not hold itself to the ground, but diffuses into the air. It is unsubstantial and fleeting.
In like manner, a man of vapor lacks sober-minded heaviness to his demeanor or respectable weightiness to his persona. The substance of his personhood is as unsubstantial as vaporous gas. If you would set the smallest ember of God's truth next to him, and call him to define it, reflect on it, defend it, or be challenged by it, he would melt into a puddle of spineless indecision and passivity. An unbelieving man of vapor is a reflection of his father Adam, who rejected righteousness, conviction, truth, action, courage, and God-honoring gravitas for the vaporous pleasures of sin and folly.
But the man of vapor has become the cultural icon. Pick any popular sitcom or comedy. It's a near guarantee that at least one of its male characters is perpetually goofy, passively conviction-less, pathetically self-pleasing, or just a plain 'ole imbecile. From Bad Grandpa, Hall Pass, Friends with Benefits, Jack*ss, and The Hangover (now forthcoming with its third installment), and even back to American Pie, Superbad, and Old School, we are constantly bombarded with these boy-man comedies. The plot of these movies, almost without fail, goes something like this: immature college boys or too-old-to-act-like-that middle-aged dudes engage in reckless/fratty/sexual/drunken/irresponsible exploits in a humorous celebration of carefree boy-man living.
What is the reason for this? This fallen world likes a man of vapor because he upholds the status quo and dislikes a man of gravitas because he threatens to ruin the party. He must be silenced, marginalized, mocked, or relegated to irrelevancy. So the system schemes to have you laugh rather than learn. It crafts entertaining mechanisms to see you keel over in laughter at fallen maleness, in all its ridiculousness, long enough for you to forget that the weight of truth-incarnating manhood is so much better than its boyish counterpart.
American culture expects men to be goofy, irresponsible, foolish, self-gratifying, spineless, and stupid. Society, along with mens' sin, seduces them to reject the serious gravitas of biblical manhood and embrace the vaporous lightness of cultural maleness. The result is that young men are entrenched in a cultural atmosphere that's so very carefree, undemanding, and always unserious. So gravitas is grouchiness. Seriousness is Puritanical. Responsibility is a dirty word. Conviction is a dinosaur. Slaphappy amusement is an obsession. Self-gratification is an axiom. Vaporous manhood is a god.
We've inherited this fallenness from our father Adam. But through Christ, who succeeds in all areas Adam failed, there is a better way.
In contrast to a man of vapor, this man is weighty, filled with the gravitas of the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ (Phil. 1:11). This is through Jesus Christ alone. This gravitas comes to bear upon fallen masculinity when the Spirit of God invades a man of vapor, grants him new life and a new heart, and commissions him to live no longer for himself and for his fleeting personal gratification, but for the eternal cause of Jesus Christ (2 Cor 5:15).
But even redeemed brothers can struggle to cultivate a counter-cultural disposition of righteous gravitas, because we're not yet made perfect. So the Bible constantly exhorts us. We need to be reminded by God's Word and God's people. What, then, are some marks of this man of gravitas that we should aim to cultivate?
He is convictional. A man of gravitas stewards truth in confident humility, his heart set ablaze with the fire of biblical conviction. He believes in the exclusivity of Christ, the sovereignty of God, the eternality of hell, the filthiness of self-righteousness, the demands of Christian holiness, the necessity of spiritual disciplines, and the urgency of the present. He is not necessarily seminary or Bible-college trained; he can just be a man of the Word with theological and moral backbone. He is not carried away as vapor with every novel idea, but holds with vehemence to the old paths. His words carry weight because his heart cherishes truth.
He is intentional. A man of gravitas engages others. He winsomely pursues people with good, heart-searching questions. He asks for prayer and seeks to pray for others. He confronts sin and confesses sin. He initiates meaningful conversation. He is deliberate to create then enact strategies that would best leverage his time, his talents, and his resources for the advancement of Christ's kingdom.
He is serious. A man of gravitas is not a grouch or a killjoy, but there are realities that call him to be deadly serious about a great many things. He knows that we fight against spiritual forces of darkness, so he acquires a sober-minded war-like mentality. He reminds the brothers that there is a battle raging, so armor must be put on, serious soldiers must be trained and deployed, and bloodthirsty dragons must be slain. There is a healthy spiritual intensity present in him that looks more like John the Baptist and Jesus and less like Ron Burgundy.
He is broken. He has been confronted with the horrors of his sin and bound up with the healing of the gospel. Yet he limps like Jacob, as a jar of clay, a product of divine grace, through whom God's strength is displayed in his weakness. He has a gospel brokenness that can't help but overflow in genuine love, sacrifice, compassion, mercy, grace, sensitivity, kindness, tenderness, and gentleness. These grace-given attributes establish him as a man of gravitas. Men who have been used of God have been broken men, and he leverages this brokenness for the glory of God and the joy of others.
He is bold. A man of gravitas fears God more than he fears man. So he is free to declare, "Thus says the Lord," in direct opposition to the popular opinion of the unbelieving masses. His grounded confidence in God—in God's word, God's protection, and God's promises—informs a courageous demeanor in the midst of a fallen world.
This is not a demand to achieve the type of manhood unattainable in this present life. We will always have to say, prior to glorification, "I am not yet made perfect." But we should aim for this as men of God. I am speaking to myself as much as I am to readers. My family, my friends, and my God know how much I fail in these areas.
Also, this is not saying there is no room for humor and lightheartedness as we enjoy God's good gifts. Go ahead. Enjoy humor. Belly laugh. Be awkward and silly and ridiculous in appropriate, memory-making ways. Dance. Be entertained and be entertaining. Frolic in fields (okay, maybe not…but I will). But don't be defined by these things. Always cultivate the gospel-centered gravitas of a biblical man of God. Fight with all you have not to be characterized by the pervasive cultural influences that beckon you to slump into the fallenness of vaporous manhood.
Above all, focus on Jesus, the epitome of a man of God-glorifying gravitas, knowing that you have no good and do no good apart from him.
Very well stated – this is a message our culture desperately needs to hear.
Thank you, Lynn! I'm so glad it was encouraging and I hope those things will be cultivated in your entire family–in husband and sons and mother! Grace and peace.
Could you maybe do a future post to explain why your writing seems so focused on your own gender and masculinity in general? I don't really understand why you took such a good concept (the development of gravitas as an element of spiritual maturity) and changed it from an idea of discipleship for all Christians into a message for only half of the Church.
Surely you don't actually think that only *some* Christians should be serious or intentional about their relationships and convictions? Only the Christian men? That Christian women should avoid those virtues? That doesn't make any sense. Particularly, it doesn't make since you support this idea of "manhood" based on texts of the New Testament addressed to all believers.
Your comment indicates that you think gravitas is good for everyone… why then write an article that only tells half the story? Why encourage half of your audience and discourage the other half?
Nice blog! Role clarification seems to continually be diminished, especially with the feminist movement taking over this generation. Being broken and convicted are not traits most would consider to be the most masculine. With that said, I think this ties into your genesis 1:28 discussion.
Would you agree that a man of gravitas is also man that has learned to be subdued? His emotions, passions, desires, and other struggles have come under control, and man who is aware and wise in his behavior has emerged. Is it not the responsibility of men to teach men how to subdue their flesh or bring it under control?

Cross-Currents: East Asian History and Culture Review (CCEAHCR) is a joint project of the Institute of East Asian Studies (IEAS) at the University of California at Berkeley and the Research Institute of Korean Studies (RIKS) at Korea University. It presents research results, trends, and fresh perspectives on East Asian culture and history from scholars in both the Asian- and English-language speaking worlds; thus there are two faculty editors, one from UC Berkeley, and one from Korea University. Subjects covered are in the humanities and social sciences, and periods studied range from the sixteenth century to today.
Semi-annual print issues of the journal include articles, reviews, and essays that have been selected from the quarterly online version for their "scholarly excellence and relevance to the journal's mission." The editorial board reads like a 'Who's Who in East Asian Studies' from Asia and North America, and the quality of scholarship is outstanding. The journal site also includes the Cross-Currents Forum, consisting of presentations and discussions from biannual academic fora (sponsored by the Institute of East Asian Studies at UC Berkeley and the Institute of Korean Culture at Korea University) that gather scholars from around the world and across disciplines to explore central themes in studies of East Asian cultures.
It is notable, too, that the online Archives of the journal are now searchable by author, title, category, issue, and region. CCEAHCR is indexed in Ulrich's, Project Muse, DOAJ, and other online sources.
Highly recommended for academic libraries serving serious East Asian studies scholars.

Q: How to correctly handle PeerDependencies when working with a Components Libraries? First of all, thank you for reading and trying to understand this question.
In my team we have built a library for common Components with React for about 2+ years. This library is built with Babel creating two different transpilations. One in CommonJS for our Test Runner to run tests (because Jest cannot use ESM) and another one in ESM for Create React App (Webpack inside) to make Tree Shaking possible. We use Create React App to build and develop our Apps.
This is working for us perfectly. But we have encounter a problem when managing Final Form Peer Dependencies (or any other library). This is our scenario:

*

*Common Components Library

*

*PeerDependencies

*

*Final Form

*DevDependencies

*

*Final Form

*App1

*

*Dependencies

*

*Common Components Library

*Final Form

*App2

*

*Dependencies

*

*Common Components Library

*Final Form

*App3 (It dont use FinalForm but it uses other Common Components)

*

*Dependencies

*

*Common Components Library

I'll explain this:
In our Common Components Library, which I spoke earlier, we have React Components that works with Final Form, like for example a Vitaminated Autocomplete Text Input Component that we share among many Apps. This Apps also use Final Form to create Components that implement forms locally for that App.
So App1 is right. Everything works fine. But for one thing, now if we want to upgrade Final Form version for this App because, lets say, we need a bug fix of Final Form. We are been forced to upgrade also our Common Components Library and the other App's Final Form version. We need to do this if we want to avoid execution errors within the Final Form React Context. If you are familiar with Final Form or React Context in general you probably have encountered this problem. You can't use different versions of a library that uses React Context. i.e: if we have final-form@1.2.3 in our Common Components Library and final-form@1.2.4 in our App1 it would genereate an execution error. So as I said, we are forced to upgrade not only on App1 and Common Component Library also on the other Apps that uses a Common Component on the Library that uses Final Form. The statement would be: 'Now, if we upgrade somewhere we have to upgrade everywhere'. And we don't want to do that. Probably we aren't handleling dependencies correctly.
So this drove us to move Final Form dependencies (we also use react-final-form, final-form-arrays, etc...) to PeerDependencies. Our problem was solved. But now, another one appeared when we saw that in Apps like App3 we were having an error when we build our App3 with Create React App. This is our output when using npm run build:

module not found `react-final-form' in file 'node_modules/CommonComponentsLibrary/VitaminatedAutoCompleteTextInput.js'

This means that, even with our App not using this VitaminatedAutoCompleteTextInput when we build its checking for every import in the node_modules so this is making us unable to build our App3. When we add the 'missing' depednencies to our App this builds with no problem and then when analyzing our bundle with source-map-explorer we see that final form depdenencies are not included in the bundle.
Is this necessary? I felt like we are missing something here. One solution for us has been including final form depdnencies on the Common Components Library as 'normal' dependencies but we were still having the first problem I mentioned before.
Maybe this problem is not only related with Create React App or Final Form. This is probably a more global isse within ESModules Libraries with Npm dependencies. Probably you will need me to enchance the explanation or have questions. I'll be glad to improve this question where needed. I have also searched on Google and here to find a similar question but I only found this. I dont know exactlcy if it's the same question but It have no answer yet.
Many thanks for trying to help or understand this issue,

Review: Run-of-the-Mill (Currently Untitled Theatre)
When 'Run of The Mill' happens to good actors
Currently Untitled Theatre presents
Run-of-the-Mill
Written by Tyler Dean
Directed by Nate Silver
at Act One Studios, 640 N LaSalle,Suite 535 (map)
through Feb 26 | tickets: $20 | more info
Sometimes people tempt fate. That seems to be the case with the title of the world premiere production of Run-of-the-Mill by Tyler Dean at Currently Untitled Theatre.
This is the story of a family dealing with the foibles and failings of modern life while trying to avoid the mistakes of the past. This is a noble and fecund premise but the seeds lay fallow in spite of some good acting.
This story follows two marriages. Cynthia and Darryl are parents to Stacy, David, and Collin. Darryl has been unemployed for over a year and things are getting tense. Cynthia is a hard driving real estate agent who is fighting to live down past mistakes.
Brit Cooper Robinson, playing the part of Cynthia, balances the role without coming off as brittle or shrill. Patrick Rybarczyk is wonderful as the ever-optimistic Darryl.
Andrea DeCamp, as a daughter who is struggling with graduation dreams and a marriage proposal, is cool and unaffectedly hip in her portrayal. She and Robinson have a good dynamic as mother and daughter.
Mike Hahalyak and Dan Toot play brothers David and Collin respectively. David has messed up his marriage to Donna (Virginia Marie) and Collin is home from Iraq with a less than honorable discharge.
All of the ingredients are in place, but the writing is stilted and weak. Dean takes a long time with the expository elements of the characters. Though much angst is expressed over the dissolution of David and Donna's marriage, we aren't told why until after the intermission in the middle of the second act. Ms. Marie does a beautiful and subtle job of suppressed rage and sexual rejection. Hahalyak is appropriately penitent but by the time we find out about her infidelities – who cares? Hahalyak's David is given a worn excuse of ADHD and depression for screwing around. It's a punchline; not a reason. This storyline is so drawn out that it feels like an episode of the retro soap "Search for Tomorrow".
Collin comes home from Iraq packing a bag of weed in his duffle and dishonorable discharge papers. Dan Toot is great as a kid soldier who grew up through combat. He portrays heartbreak, and there is a subtle hint of post- traumatic stress syndrome simmering. The 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' repeal seems thrown in as an afterthought. It's not why Collin is ejected from the Army but the real reason is less compelling.
The second act does not continue with the stark mystery but jumps right into an ill- conceived series of flashbacks. The soundtrack plays Huey Lewis and the News' 'Power of Love' just as in 'Back to the Future'. (Some Marty McFly humor would have helped.) What happened to Cynthia and Darryl is what happens to thousands of families and therefore it's 'run of the mill'. That doesn't make for a great night at the theater. To be certain, there are families whose lives are ordinary and mundane, but I go to the theater to see a more tense dynamic or a story that I haven't heard before. If I'm going to watch a soap opera, then somebody needs to be held captive in a well or Granny's in the attic living in Imagination Land.
There are other kinks to be worked out in Run of the Mill". The staging is rather clumsy. Did anyone think to put brakes on the casters? Moveable sets should not keep moving in the middle of the scene. Why do props in some scenes and then completely expressionistic in others? Is this a fleshed out story or a workshop in invisible burger flipping? Go for the fake food. We know it's not real and in that case go for the satire, for this story has that potential: "Ward and June discover something happened to the Beaver in Iraq. Will things ever be the same on Morning Glory Lane? Tune in for the finely crafted acting!".
Rating: ★½
Run of the Mill runs on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 through February 26th at Act One Studios, 640 N. LaSalle in the West Loop. Go to www.currentlyuntitledtheatre.org for more information on the company and the actors. All photos by Gretchen Allnutt.

REVIEW: Dream of a Common Language (Prologue Theatre)
Must good-girl painters always finish last?
Prologue Theatre presents
Dream of a Common Language
Written by Heather McDonald
Directed by Margo Gray
at Oracle Theatre, 3809 N. Broadway (map)
through Nov 18 | tickets: $16-$18 | more info
Of what value are women's gifts? What value are women's talents, women's work, or the creativity of women? These are the questions Heather McDonald's play, Dream of a Common Language, focuses on. No amount of armchair theorizing about women's critical place in cultural creation can erase the reality that women's abilities, talents and artistic perspective often get placed at the low end of the hierarchy. Men's creativity, like men's work, is invariably classed above the creativity executed by women—and often because men are the judges of what is or is not art.
Director Margo Gray and Prologue Theatre struggle mightily against the restrictions of Oracle Theatre's space and their own low-budget difficulties in order to carry off McDonald's impressionistic language and scene structure. Unfortunately, serious lack of vision in doing more with less handicaps the execution of this play's impressionist style. Especially in the first act, cumbersome, start-and-stop scene changes and awkward, unnecessary puppetry dooms this show to fits of embarrassing amateurism.
That's really too bad, because Gray has collected a cast that capably teases out the delicate moods and emotional shifts that sculpt McDonald's focus. Clovis (Carrie Hardin), a woman painter, suffocates under not having her painting taken seriously, as well as the stifling proscriptions of her new role as wife and mother in the mid-19th century. Victor (Michael John Krystosek), her husband, also a painter, is at a loss to understand just what is bothering her. Consumed with planning a dinner to organize an exhibition that will feature artists rejected by the establishment, he fails to see how leaving women artists out of the dinner, and out of the exhibition, disturbs his wife. Her long-time friend and fellow woman artist, Pola (Lara Janson), arrives by bicycle in time to lift Clovis' spirits. Together with the housekeeper, Delores (Hayley L. Rice), the women stage a revolt. They hold a dinner of their own with food stolen from the men's dinner.
Hardin is most expert in making the audience palpably feel Clovis' pain. Shakiness and uncertainty plague Clovis' attempts to re-establish herself, to find the core of who she is and not be swayed by the roles that have been scripted for her as a woman. We sense Clovis' uneasiness of self and appreciate her struggle to define just what it is that bothers her. Alex Knell turns in an accurate and natural performance as her neglected son, pushed to the side because Clovis cannot accept her restrictive motherly role.
Janson's performance as Pola aptly contrasts her ruddy mental and physical health with Clovis' shakiness. However, Janson's constant good nature contradicts all indications that her character is not totally happy–a little more nuance could let the audience catch her frustration at being reduced to painting flowers, just like "all the good-girl painters." The appearance of Marc (Les Rorick) kicks up the stakes, both because of the secret affair he's had with Clovis and because Rorick captures a good, full-bodied 19th-century character within a few lines.
Other performers took more time to warm to their roles on opening night, but it's difficult to discern whether that is their particular dilemma or the direction. Whatever the source, the cast finally congeals into a cohesive, lively and idyllic whole in the second act, sans scene changes and, mercifully, sans puppets. The restoration of Clovis' self and her relationship with Victor delicately evokes real wonder and profound beauty.
If at all possible at this juncture, it would be wise for Gray to revise her direction for the first act. Flow from scene to scene is needed to preserve McDonald's impressionist intent. Furthermore, shadow puppets and other forms of puppetry really should be saved for the budget and expertise to do them well. If the intent was to create a more dreamlike, childlike state, then McDonald's language alone, as well as the energetic game playing of the women in the second act, connect us to the creative children in these characters. What other accoutrements are needed? Absolutely none.

Microsoft .NET is an advance in programming technology that greatly simplifies application development, both for traditional, proprietary applications and for the emerging paradigm of Web-based services. .NET is a complete restructuring of Microsoft's whole system infrastructure and represents a major learning challenge for programmers developing applications on Microsoft platforms. Part of .NET is a major new object-oriented programming language, C#. But learning the new programming language is only part of the challenge. The much greater challenge is learning the .NET Framework and all its capabilities.
This four-day course is designed to provide a sound introduction to the .NET Framework for programmers who already know the C# language and the fundamentals of Windows Forms. It is current to .NET 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008. The course focuses on core portions of the .NET Framework that are common across many application areas. Separate courses are available in specific areas, such as ADO.NET, XML Programming, Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Framework, Windows Communications Framework, ASP.NET and Web services.
The course starts with an introduction to the architecture and key concepts of .NET. It then discusses class libraries, assemblies, versioning, configuration, and deployment, which constitute a major advance in the simplicity and robustness of deploying Windows applications, ending the notorious "DLL hell." The next two chapters discuss important topics in the .NET programming model, including metadata, reflection, I/O, and serialization. The following chapter continues the discussion of the .NET programming model, covering memory management, threading, asynchronous programming, application domains, marshal by value, marshal by reference, and.NET remoting.
.NET Security is introduced in some detail, including both code access security and role-based security. The next chapter covers interoperability of .NET with COM and with Win32 applications. The course includes an introduction to database programming using ADO.NET and LINQ. SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, bundled with Visual Studio 2008, is used in database examples. Finally, the .NET Framework diagnostic facilities are discussed in depth.
The course is practical, with many examples and a case study. The goal is to equip you to begin building significant applications using the .NET Framework. The student will receive a comprehensive set of materials, including course notes and all the programming examples.
The student should be an experienced application developer or architect with a working knowledge of C#, including building simple GUIs with Windows Forms.
Course exercises require Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition or higher. The preferred operating system is Windows XP. SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, bundled with Visual Studio 2005, is required for the database chapter. See the appropriate course Setup Guide for details.
A good minimal hardware profile for this course consists of a 2 GHz or better CPU, 512 MB of RAM, and at least 4 GB of free disk space for tools installation and courseware.


I know I'm getting a little ahead of myself, here. But, I created a companion blog for the Camp.
The blog is not intended to be a place for comments or discussion. Rather, I see it as a way to display what the site is all about, as well as to post articles and reflections that may stimulate discussions here in the forum. There is not a lot of content up; just a quick opening post on the home page and some background information on the 'About' page.
I'm curious to know whether any of you think that having this companion site is even a good idea. I just wanted to grab the domain at WordPress before someone else snatched it up Anyway, let me know what you think. It is a work in progress, and it will belong to all of us should we choose to keep it going.
there are short articles I could write that might fit this audience. And, I'd love to hear more from the others.
Glad you dig the idea. I'll try to figure out some logistics as far as blog posts are concerned. Having some of your writings on the site sounds good to me.
I totally missed the recent name change. Hilarious. Thanks! Now we just need a new header image - perhaps the lotus floating in a cocktail glass?
E-mail it to me, please.
I think we should have an annual bash event like Burning Man, but somewhere slightly more civilized than the high desert. We could do dharma talks and dharma comedy skits.
Yes. I am too old to be running around naked in the desert with a bunch of hooligans, sorry. At a spa in northern california maybe? or a lakeside cabin somewhere?
The annual Dharma Cocktail Party. Just what we need.
Perfect! And all "dharma talks" to take place sitting casually around, not with a teacher at a podium and everyone else in the full lotus position and googly eyed at the mighty guru.
We will use hammocks and lounge chairs.
At a minimum, we need to have a stronger showing at BG 2012!
But yes, lotus in cocktail glass. Mad Men meets the Buddha. Love it!
Who wants to come to Toronto?
Are there spas in Toronto?


A couple of markers may help. We are all situated somewhere, even if we see ourselves as cosmopolitans emancipated from mere biography. I was a beneficiary of the old idealistic British system, a grammar-school boy who went to Cambridge in the 1950s when not too many people were so lucky. If we can't afford such a system any longer because we wish to make a good education available to many more people – if that is our real reason and our real intention – then we have to think of proper new ways of funding it.
But we can also remember the values of such a system, whatever the costs. My parents had to be persuaded to let me stay at school after I was 16, but they were fairly easily persuaded, and the whole larger culture helped to persuade them. Higher education was a good thing because it was free, and it was free because it was a good thing. It was what we now call 'cultural capital' – and far more closely connected to culture than to capital. That sense of education as a 'public good' is itself of inestimable value and makes everything else possible: music college as well as agricultural college, free inquiry, disinterested curiosity, engineering school, degrees in dead languages. We can gloss this value in detail, and we should; but we can't and shouldn't turn it into value for money, or confuse value with extensive use.
But what if we are not given a chance to provide this gloss, or turn out not to be up to providing it? Second flashback, to the bad old days this time. I returned to England at the time of the Malvinas War, sometimes known as the Falklands War, and taught at Exeter University until 1995. When asked about this period, I usually say I found the battles on behalf of the university (the department, the school, the discipline, our younger colleagues' jobs) very hard work but exhilarating: there was something to fight about. But it was no fun losing all of the battles, and I am still trying to work out what it means that we should so thoroughly have lost all of them. What can we do about it?
Let me put the matter as starkly as I can. If we can't speak the language of our enemies, not only will they not listen to us – they might not listen to us anyway – but they can't. We need to be saying things they could hear if they would listen. 'They', by the way, includes all kinds of people within universities as well as outside them. But what if we can't speak that language without losing the battle? What if the very language wins the battle by definition? What if we can't speak of cost-effectiveness because we don't understand either cost or effect in the way our enemies do? How do we make astrophysics sound useful without turning it into science fiction? Just what sort of transferable skills do we pick up from Greek metrics? I think of a line from Mallarmé: what's the good of trafficking in what should not be sold, especially when it doesn't sell? A thought triggered by David Willetts's amiable description of the publications a distinguished scholar might bring to the RAE as 'a good back catalogue'. Austin and Wittgenstein had plenty of thoughts, and a huge influence on philosophy, but at the time of their death almost no catalogue, back or front.
This is not a narrow question of terminology – although I'm not sure questions of terminology are ever all that narrow. During the Thatcher years, as during the Reagan years in America, a strong assumption arose that the quarrel was not between right and left or between different opinions and positions, but between those who knew what reality was and those who didn't. If you didn't know what reality was – that is, if you disagreed with those who were sure they knew and had the power to implement their views – it didn't matter whether you were right or wrong, since you were irrelevant anyway. And reality was … whatever you could get a largish number of conservatives (small c) to take seriously. This move was particularly devastating in America, where liberals shared with conservatives a consensus against extremes, and on the whole still do. Left-wing liberals were a special problem, because they genuinely believed they had gone as far left as anyone could reasonably go. The current array of protests in both Britain and America is an encouraging sign in this respect: dissent may be rational again, rather than someone else's insanity.
So when what is real, in relation to university education, is student demand and jobs in the future – a pair of premises about as fictional as you can get – what are we to say in favour of the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake? Especially if the very notion of doing anything for its own sake has more or less vanished from the national landscape? What can we say that is not vague, without falling into the market trap?
Here are two modes of an answer, which we may need to deploy both together and separately, as strategic need arises. First, the quest for knowledge needs no justification except the energy and enthusiasm, the passion it inspires, and a society that doesn't encourage such quests for their own sake has already started to impoverish itself in ways it may not be able to see. Nietzsche once defined human beings as animals who had invented knowledge – well, literally they had invented knowing, erkennen, 'getting to know things', and recognising them. If we can't care about knowledge enough to let others look for it even if we don't want to, we shall be the less human for it, or human beings of a lesser kind. And here even this first answer based on the virtue of disinterested inquiry begins to slide towards the practical, since a society that does not value knowledge in this way will soon be outpaced in all kinds of areas by societies that do.
Second mode of answer. If we live in a secular society, and do not have a special insight into God's plans for us, we don't know what knowledge will be useful to us in the future. And more important, we can't know what knowledge we may find at the end of an apparently pointless or even crazed inquiry. Many of our most useful inventions began in the realms of purest theory. This is not to be mindlessly optimistic. The motto from Marie Curie hanging up outside the British Library is quite wrong. 'Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.' We may well fear many things, and we should, and some things we shall fear because we understand them. But this is not a reason for not wanting to understand them. We can deal well or badly with the knowledge when we have it; but we can hardly want to shelter in our ignorance, it isn't any safer there.
If you want it you'll pay for it and if you won't pay for it you can't have it is a perfectly reasonable principle if you're running a small shop, but it won't even work for a business, once it reaches any size – you'll lose out to the competition, which isn't watching the pennies so closely. Where is the invention, the new technology, all the wrong roads in research that allowed a few right roads to be found? In the part of New Jersey where I live the object of much local nostalgia is not any university or establishment of learning, public or private, but the old Bell Laboratories, fondly remembered as a place where people pursued research for its own sake, with only a secondary thought of profit for the company. I have never entirely believed that these laboratories were this legendary place, but I'm not sure my wary scepticism should survive my just acquired knowledge that the place has been the home of seven Nobel Prizes. In any event, such a set-up is clearly possible, or was possible. And can cease to be possible, as is shown by the record of the current owner of the labs, the French company Alcatel-Lucent.
And this possibility leads me to the distinction between business and business-speak, and more broadly between the working corporate world and the world of business and management schools. We are being asked to imagine our universities not as real businesses, but as dream businesses of the kind thought up by people who work only with models and yesterday's quality assessments. Of course, the distinction is not absolute. There are businessmen who really believe in the free market – until it stops believing in them. Thatcher believed in the market until the Americans stopped buying British aeroplanes. Then she believed in the special relationship. Business and management schools no doubt do teach practices that are (sometimes) actually practised. But my experience of working with the Leverhulme Trust, for example, suggests strongly that many leading executives, like the rest of us, are interested in quality for money, which is quite different from value for money, and even interested in qualities that don't immediately have to do with money at all. Their question would be, about a Sanskrit scholar, say, 'How good is she?' not: 'Who cares about Sanskrit and why should we pay for it?' This is in contrast to Thatcher's response to an undergraduate at Oxford who told her she was reading history. Thatcher is supposed to have said: 'What a luxury.' Those who think the supposedly unpractical sides of higher education are a luxury for which the state has no responsibility are right in a quite wretched way. They won't have to pay for them. But their children will, and so will ours – and not with money.
Keith Thomas and Michael Wood spoke at 'Universities under Attack', a conference sponsored by the 'London Review', the 'New York Review' and Fritt Ord held on 26 November at King's College London.

'If we can't speak the language of our enemies, not only will they not listen to us,' Michael Wood writes, 'but they can't' (LRB, 15 December 2011). He is far too defeatist. Under New Labour, the arts were told that statements about value, quality and excellence were irrelevant and self-serving, and would be rejected out of hand by the Treasury. Unless the arts could demonstrate, numerically, their instrumental utility to society, the economy, the environment and social development, they would never get a decent hearing in Whitehall. For a decade, arts leaders demonstrated that they could run their organisations in 'business-like ways' – which is totally different from running them 'like businesses'. The sector poured out instrumental indicators by the ton. But the arts never gave up their own language for describing the real nature of their activity.
