The bands have had the opportunity to rehearse and record their own tracks in the CAAMA Music studio with a professional engi neer. The concert is sched uled on the same day as the Todd Mall Markets to maxi mize the bands' exposure to a wide cross-section of the public and to give marketgoers the opportunity to be entertained by live local music they would otherwise not see or hear.

It's an evening lecture by renowned cancer survi vor Dr Ian Gawler will be given at the Fred McKay Education Centre theatrette at St Philip's College next Thursday, July 31, 7pm. Di agnosed with a very difficult bone cancer, Dr Gawler had his leg amputated in 1975. He then developed an innovat ive approach to treating cancer, drawing upon good nutrition, a posi tive state of mind, medita tion and support. This has become known and widely accepted as the "Integrative Approach", a method which complements and enhances standard med ical cancer care. T h e A l i c e S p r i n g s evening will explore the power of the mind and how relaxation, meditation and imagery can be powerful tools for not just battling illness but in making the most of everyday. " Dr Gawler is the Found er and Therapeutic Direc tor of The Gawler Foun dation. It is a charitable organi sation dedicated to sharing these principles with every one affected by cancer.

His previous surgical triumphs include Batman Begins and The Prestige. Operation begins. Heart monitor: BIP. . . BIP.. . Direction here is a sub lime love affair with the camera, or more than one camera. Dr Nolan's vision for the caped crusader is lique fied and drunk with relish by the audience. Track and chase shots that are some of the best to date. BIP. . . BIP.. . The cast is a veritable drug cabinet of intoxicating performances. Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michael Cain, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman (arguably the greatest actor ever to grace this giant drop of water we all inhabit.) BIP. . .BIP. . . The nurses have a mi croscope over deceased Os car nominee, Ledger. The Joker. His act is like a lech erous pulse, pounding out a performance that could carry this picture alone. BIP. . .BIP. . . He masquerades about the set like a demented puppet, as diverse as the body of work he will leave behind. BIP. . .BIP. . . There is no slow push on the syringe, as the storyline is blasted into the blood stream of the viewer. BIP. . . BIP.. . A rush and tingle. The ultra reliable pro duction crew behind the first outing have dissected the mood surrounding the Dark Knight. They have taken us on an intravenous journey, through the backstreets and alleyways of the body that is Gotham City. BIP. . .BIP. . . Dr Nolan was not afraid to take the necessary risks involved in recreating the way people view a super hero. BIP. . .BIP. . . Praise is seldom given to one who swims against the tide and strikes out against conventional ways of thinking. P o p v u l t u r e r a t i n g 881/1000. BEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

Dayananda will be at the studio from Wednesday through to Saturday until the end of the year. Araluen director Tim Rollason says plans are in progress to initiate a wider Artist in Residence program in 2009. The heritage 1 isted Aral uen Homestead, which will provide accommodation for visiting artists in the near fu ture, was recently renovated and is being furnished. With the availability of accommodation, Araluen will be looking to work with local arts organisations to help develop opportu nities for visiting artists in Alice Springs, says Mr Rollason. The homestead will ac commodate its first group of artists in August, as part of the Imagine Alice project. ^ / mm story all T h u r s d a y & F r i d a y f r o m d u s k t i l 9 : 3 0 T o d d M a l i Thur sday 2 4 t h J u l y Races a n d R o d e o s !
