The View From Here (Excerpts), 2001 (Hazel Dooney/Girlz With Gunz # 81)

In 2001, when she was just 22, Hazel Dooney was invited to join nine, very well established, middle-aged Australian male artists including John Olsen, Tim Storrier, David Larwill and Robert Jacks on a privately funded artists expedition to central Australia. This unusual journey was the subject of an ABC documentary, The View From Here, excerpted here, directed by Liz Jones and produced by Jenny Day and Liz Jones, and a best-selling coffee table book, William Creek And Beyond. The resulting artworks toured museums and regional galleries all around Australia.
The resulting series of paintings, prints and photography can be viewed at Hazel Dooney's web site here.

RIP Keith Floyd

Keith Floyd, a flamboyant chef who shared his passion for good food and fine wine with a generation of British television viewers, has died, his ghostwriter said Tuesday. He was 65. James Steen said Floyd died Monday of a heart attack in Bridport, southwest England. He had been suffering from bowel cancer. Born in 1943, Floyd developed an interest in cooking while serving in the British army, trying out his culinary creations in the officers' mess. He later worked in kitchens in Britain and France before opening his own restaurants in Bristol, southwest England, where he was discovered by a television producer. Starting in the 1980s, series like "Floyd on Fish" and "Floyd on France" made him a household name in Britain and were shown around the world. He became famous for his bow tie, ever-present glass of wine and unscripted banter with his cameraman that sometimes tipped over into bickering. Steen said one of Floyd's breakthroughs was to attract men to the world of cooking. "At that time it was thought that if you were a man you couldn't cook," Steen said. "But he said 'I'm a man, I love rugby, I love women, I can cook.'" Floyd paved the way for a generation of TV chefs that includes Nigella Lawson and Jamie Oliver. Oliver said Floyd had been "an inspiration to me and to so many others."

Closing the book on the Bush legacy

Thursday's annual Census Bureau report on income, poverty and access to health care-the Bureau's principal report card on the well-being of average Americans-closes the books on the economic record of George W. Bush.

It's not a record many Republicans are likely to point to with pride.
On every major measurement, the Census Bureau report shows that the country lost ground during Bush's two terms. While Bush was in office, the median household income declined, poverty increased, childhood poverty increased even more, and the number of Americans without health insurance spiked. By contrast, the country's condition improved on each of those measures during Bill Clinton's two terms, often substantially...

Darwin movie cannot find US distributor

Movieguide.org, an influential site which reviews films from a Christian perspective, described Darwin as the father of eugenics and denounced him as "a racist, a bigot and an 1800s naturalist whose legacy is mass murder". His "half-baked theory" directly influenced Adolf Hitler and led to "atrocities, crimes against humanity, cloning and genetic engineering", the site stated.

The film has sparked fierce debate on US Christian websites, with a typical comment dismissing evolution as "a silly theory with a serious lack of evidence to support it despite over a century of trying".
