Advice please.
I'm an older man who walks daughters past a lingerie model in the local shopping centre (photo, larger than life size). After school drop-off I went in to complain, saying that in my view the photo was not suitable for public display, and I didn't want said daughters walking past it.
Response from manager was: She was within her legal rights to display, and if the complaint was to be taken further, go to centre management.
She would be ready with her arguments which, in summary, were:
As a Christian, she didn't think the display was
a. provocative
b. immoral
c. illegal.
Different people would offer different opinions on a, and b, but she is correct on c.
What's best next?

beans...
Going to try these beans.
1 lb fresh green beans (not frozen), stem end trimmed off
1 Tbs dark sesame oil
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Preheat your oven to 450ºF while you trim off the stem ends of the green beans. Wash and thoroughly dry the beans.
Spread the beans on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet, then toss with the oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the beans to fit on the baking sheet in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes, then stir the beans and cook for another 5 to 10 more minutes, or until the skin is wrinkled and beginning to brown in places.
Let cool for a minute, add a dash more dark sesame oil, then commence super-sonic snacking.

Closing my Cumbo blog for a good reason!
Somewhat late, but I am closing my Cumbo blog. You can read the last post here, or you can hear it here. ;-)
The spur to finally closing the Cumbo blog is to avoid any confusion. In the grace of God, I've begun support raising for a new job, hopefully beginning in early 2012, working two days a week with the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students, still at Sydney University but this time with the Conservatorium Christian Group.
Really excited about joining this team in what Fifi and I are already affectionately referring to as 'the Con job'.

Mozart A minor piano sonata
Written about the time of his mother's death.
I've always thought what Grimaud expresses here:
From here.
Listen to her brilliant performance, here.
I've always thought what Grimaud expresses here:
Grimaud opened with Mozart’s Sonata in A Minor, playing it as if she were lashing a carriage down the streets of Salzburg. “It’s Mozart’s only sonata with fortissimo markings,” she says. “I like to think of it as something quite extreme, and that’s how I play it.”
From here.
