(Green Homes) –> COPYRIGHT 2006 Life Media When Martin Tamlyn and Cathy Kipp set out to build the home of their dreams in rural Wellington County, Ontario, they didn’t know the first thing about house construction. Martin is a teacher who had never picked up a tool in his life and Cathy is a midwife. Early on in the planning stages, the couple decided to have as much to do with building the house as they could, not only to save money, but to learn new skills. They also wanted to build a house that would be environmentally friendly and complimentary to the local landscape. A straw bale house was the natural choice.

[The average American] meal uses up to 17 times more petroleum products, and increases carbon dioxide emissions by the same amount, compared to an entirely local meal. ” The two were moved by research from Brian Halweil of the Worldwatch Institute, a think tank that promotes an environmentally sustainable and socially just society. In his book “Home Grown: The Case for Local Food.
No, sheik, sorry won’t do

Criticism from some Muslims came only after The Australian reported the speech. But for the media, we would not have flushed out this madness and Hilali would be quietly fomenting more extremism under cover of the mosque. This is a point Australian Federal Police boss Mick Keelty may want to mull over, given his remarks last week blaming the media for fuelling vilification of Australian Muslims, which he said was encouraging home-grown terrorism. Let’s focus on the real problem here. Notwithstanding Hilali being benched for a few months, and then choosing to step aside indefinitely, many Muslims support his outpourings of hate. The paralysis of the Lebanese Muslim Association attests to that. And when the sheik returned to Lakemba mosque last Friday, 5000 people turned up to listen and cheer… So you wonder whether a kid like (gang rapist) Bilal Skaf had grown up hearing these kinds of attitudes and you wonder whether kids rioting down at Cronulla have heard these kinds of attitudes. " Those attitudes are found in the most unlikely places. A straw poll by The Sydney Morning Herald of Muslim women in their 20s and 30s – women one might expect to have a more enlightened view – revealed that some supported the view that women must cover up to prevent men from raping them. Little wonder some Muslim boys are growing up to view short-skirted Western women as "asking for it". Now for the biggest problem of all.
The theatre that changed drama
Telegraph.co.uk – Nov 1, 2006
Under Devine, plays by Bertolt Brecht, Eugène Ionesco, Jean-Paul Sartre and the Paris-based Samuel Beckett were as important as those by home-grown talent. Emboldened by the success of Osborne’s debut, which was later made into a profitable film, Devine found other new playwrights – such as Arnold Wesker and John Arden – who wrote in the gritty style that was dubbed “kitchen-sink drama”. In the face of poor box office, he pioneered the idea of the artist’s “right to fail”, with state subsidy picking up the tab. In the ’60s, the Court’s tradition of heroic pugnacity was continued by Bill Gaskill, who took over after the overworked Devine retired in 1965. The main enemy was the Lord Chamberlain, the theatre censor, and fierce battles were fought over plays such as Beckett’s Endgame, with its line about God – “The bastard! He doesn’t exist!” – and Edward Bond’s Saved, with its infamous baby-stoning scene.
Doctor Who scoops big UK TV awards
NEWS.com.au – Nov 1, 2006
article-tools –> From correspondents in London November 01, 2006 07:18pm THE BBC’s Doctor Who has triumphed at the National Television Awards, winning three prizes, including best drama. The latest Time Lord David Tennant and his sidekick Billie Piper scooped the best actor and best actress awards at a central London ceremony. The remake of the classic science-fiction series saw off competition from US shows Lost, Desperate Housewives, and the home grown prison drama Bad Girls. "I think if my eight-year-old self could see me at the Royal Albert Hall winning a prize for playing the doctor on telly, he would need a stiff shot of Irn-Bru," Tennant said. Organisers said more than 1. 5 million votes were cast by the public before the annual awards ceremony today. Other winners included the BBC’s Top Gear, which landed the Best Factual Programme award just weeks after one of its presenters was badly hurt in a high-speed crash during filming.
Climate debate heats up

As debate flared:
LABOR leader Kim Beazley accused Mr Howard of being a climate change sceptic who had wasted a decade pretending there was no problem. THE PM dismissed Labor’s demands to sign Kyoto as "inane mantra", saying Kyoto was devised to accommodate European interests. PROSPECTS of a home-grown nuclear industry grew as Mr Howard pressed the case for Australia considering the "big N option" in the foreseeable future. THE Government prepared to announce $60 million worth of hi-tech climate change projects today. Mr Howard will unveil funding for a series of projects under its responsibilities as a member of the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate. Known as AP6, the partnership also includes Japan and Korea – and, significantly, heavy carbon emitters China, India and the US. Mr Howard highlighted AP6 yesterday as a "bridge" to the world’s big polluters in reaching international agreement on a carbon trading market to offset emissions.
