  • RICHARD STATE Final Edit
    THE LONESOME VOYAGER Songs and stories from the Best Years of Our Lives STATE THEATRE – SYDNEY - SATURDAY AUGUST 15 Bookings: www.ticketmaster.com.au PHONE 136 100 Tickets on Sale at 10.00am Thursday April 30 On August 15th 2015, Richard Clapton makes a welcome return to Sydney’s State Theatre to continue the tradition of his annual concert in this special venue. This unique show will be performed in two parts. The first part of the show will be Richard and the masterful Danny Spencer on guitar, performing an acoustic repertoire and insights into Richard’s life and songwriting. Danny and Richard have been musical partners for well over a decade and Danny has become a well established part of Richard’s musical DNA. After interval, Richard returns to the stage with his full band and an exciting creative sound and lighting production. After more than 40 years of treading the boards on the Australian rock scene, this year Richard will bring together a very different style of show for the State Theatre. With the fantastic response to Richard’s recent memoirs, “The Best Years of Our Lives” in 2015, it occurred to him that audiences might just would appreciate a hybrid show featuring not just the music, but all the often crazy and often emotional stories behind the music. The book covers the halcyon years from the late Sixties in London to the Seventies and Eighties on the Oz rock scene. The musical journey onstage will cover those days of “The Golden Age” the likes of which we will never see again, accompanied by storytelling from one of the true survivors of those times.

  • The Great Property Crime Drop: a Regional Analysis
    NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research Bureau Brief Issue paper no. 88 July 2013 The Great Property Crime Drop: A regional analysis Don Weatherburn and Jessie Holmes Aim: To describe and discuss regional variation between parts of NSW in the rate at which theft and robbery offences have fallen. Method: Percentage changes in rates of offending in robbery and various categories of theft were calculated for the period 2000 to 2012. Changes in the extent to which rates of crime across areas have become more similar were quantified by comparing the standard deviation in crime rates across areas in 2000 to the standard deviation in crime rates in 2012. Product moment calculations were used to measure (a) the extent to which areas with high crime rates in 2000 also had high crime rates in 2012 and (b) the extent to which areas with the highest crime rates in 2000 had the largest falls in crime in 2012. Results: The fall in property crime and robbery across NSW between 2000 and 2012 has been very uneven; being much larger in Sydney and other urban areas than in rural areas. The fall in theft offence rates ranges from 62 per cent in the Sydney Statistical Division (SD) to 5.9 per cent in the Northern SD. Similarly, the fall in robbery rates ranges from 70.8 per cent in the Sydney SD to 21.9 per cent in the Northern SD. In some areas some offences actually increased. The Murray, Northern, Murrumbidgee, North Western, Hunter and Central West SDs, for example, all experienced an increase in steal from a retail store.

  • Athena Winter 2006
    athena Photo by Ian McFarlane; Model: Annie letter from the editor winter 2006 LOVE (luv) a strong, deep affection and devotion for another, unconditional and unexplained I must say that I really enjoyed wearing a wedding dress for this photo shoot. This made me wonder why women love to put on a wedding dress. Is it because wearing it means that someone has chosen you above all others? Is it because you look like the princess you always knew you were? I found myself very excited when Jan at I Do, I Do Bridal Center asked if I would like to wear a tiara with my dress. As she placed it on my head, I was six years old again… Fantasy world is such a lovely place and it is okay to visit every now and again, but it is when reality and fantasy merge that you need to worry. When love is in the picture and you wear rose colored glasses, you might not like what you see when they are removed. So if you think that you might have found the one, take our quiz – it will bring you back to reality. As I get older, I do realize that I am much happier when I make decisions that are reality based. I am not saying you can’t be a little wild with your thoughts and I do believe that most things are attainable if you truly believe in them. And love, above all else, makes the world go ‘round. Love of a significant other, love of a child, love of a parent, love of a friend…just pure, sweet love! So, if you find your life without love, find some and make it yours! Get a cat, mentor a child, work with the elderly or join any number of groups in our community.
