By detaining such a huge amount of people for no legal reason China is really running the risk of radicalising these people and creating the perfect conditions for violent extremism to happen in the future,” warns Mr Ryan.

The above is interesting, you create what you pretend to fear (It’s really all about them being different and different is bad) by your zealous narrowminded actions. In fact I imagine they want it to happen as then they can justify killing them. Reminds me of Australia’s offshore detention, lock them up long enough and they will get fed up and riot and then you can say “See they are extremists”

I get the feeling it is a trick that only works once. These events also mark the advent of peak Facebook and since then there has been a decline in the way people use it, specifically in response to being bombarded with too much political crap.

Not just that but you are reading an article and an ad pops into view breaking your train of thought and you close it and with some it even forces you to reload the article. It’s annoying and could actually work against the advertiser as you decide to not by that particular brand because of the way its implemented

Some forum folk get news and outrage tickets from Facebook.

Heh.

It crossed my mind to move to the seaside the other night. I was channeling happy times in Forster when I was growing up. I flicked through the real estate and still couldn’t imagine living in some places that really are further away from everything than I am now.

I am not a beach person, sand too hot, water too cold, burn easily, but I do like being beachside, it’s gotta different smell and vibe places near the ocean. North Shore was good value and I used to enjoy holidays at Byron and Ballina.

There are sometimes excellent places for rent by the sea. But I don’t have transport to go and look at them.

This is waterfront, and the best value land I have seen for ages. I had a lot of photos, but they self-destructed with the last computer. There’s another down the street- a bit more level – and much more expensive. We thought about it. Seriously.

Q Mr. President, why are you attacking Paul Ryan?

THE PRESIDENT: Birthright citizenship is a very, very important subject. In my opinion, it’s much less complex than people think. I think it says it very loud and clear in the Constitution that you don’t have to go through the process of whatever they’re talking about. And, by the way, this is not a Constitutional amendment. You don’t need a Constitutional amendment for birthright citizenship.

Sporting Shooters’ Association head named in double shooting

https://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/sporting-shooters-association-head-named-in-double-shooting/news-story/460c66d63596c85c1ea007375d0c4162

Paul Cohrs is well known in the border country between Victoria and NSW, around the town of Mildura. He’s a former deputy mayor of Wentworth Shire and head of the local sporting shooters association.

But his actions have left locals stunned as they come to terms with his alleged murder of his elderly mother and brother and ­apparent attempt at suicide.

Police are investigating whether Mr Cohrs drove to his brother’s property in Rufus, NSW, with a real estate agent, killed his brother and then tied up the real estate agent before crossing into Victoria and shooting his mother. Police are investigating whether he then drove back to NSW and released the real estate agent before shooting himself.

It’s kind of hard for me to believe that he doesn’t realise he can’t override the constitution so I can only assume he is playing to his <85 base in the lead up to the midterms. Next week he’ll just drop it and they’ll forget.

So what we need to do is allow an abundance of guns but back it impossible for them to be fired.

Sporting Shooters’ Association head named in double shooting

https://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/sporting-shooters-association-head-named-in-double-shooting/news-story/460c66d63596c85c1ea007375d0c4162

Paul Cohrs is well known in the border country between Victoria and NSW, around the town of Mildura. He’s a former deputy mayor of Wentworth Shire and head of the local sporting shooters association.

But his actions have left locals stunned as they come to terms with his alleged murder of his elderly mother and brother and ­apparent attempt at suicide.

Police are investigating whether Mr Cohrs drove to his brother’s property in Rufus, NSW, with a real estate agent, killed his brother and then tied up the real estate agent before crossing into Victoria and shooting his mother. Police are investigating whether he then drove back to NSW and released the real estate agent before shooting himself.

Guns don’t kill people, shooters kill people.

So what we need to do is allow an abundance of guns but back it impossible for them to be fired.

And outlaw Shooters’ Associations.

Thursday 11:42: The 50% count is up and now Merridew and Sherlock win while sitting councillors Sexton and Christie are out. I am examining this to see how close it is and whether it can be relied on and will post findings shortly.

has Mr 2 Votes we were talking about the other day added to his score?

Dunno. When I find out I will let you know. But Car and I and lots of others will be happy that Christie has gone.

He sent me an email to my uni account a few weeks ago. I went off at him. He replied that I was right in what I said…he had lifted my email address off a submission to council from a few years back, and he took it on board that I didn’t live in the electorate, and he wished me a nice life.

At the start of 2018, the long range forecast was for an average year. This forecast changed dramatically as the year progressed. At present the forecast is for a long hot and dry summer with bugger all in reserve.

The capsaicin is oil soluble and most of it will have already leaked to the salmon (which is usually at least a bit oily) so the chilli should not be as spicy as all dingdong.

Q Mr. President, why are you attacking Paul Ryan?

THE PRESIDENT: Birthright citizenship is a very, very important subject. In my opinion, it’s much less complex than people think. I think it says it very loud and clear in the Constitution that you don’t have to go through the process of whatever they’re talking about. And, by the way, this is not a Constitutional amendment. You don’t need a Constitutional amendment for birthright citizenship.

Q Who told you that?

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-marine-one-departure-21/

The Process Of Whatever They’re Talking About

Should presidential eligibility include an IQ over 85

It’s kind of hard for me to believe that he doesn’t realise he can’t override the constitution so I can only assume he is playing to his <85 base in the lead up to the midterms. Next week he’ll just drop it and they’ll forget.

He seems to work that way.

then it wouldn’t be surprising if they leant on him to resign. It might be a good option for him: resign now, Pence gives a blanket pardon, he gets to rant and rave to rallies of rednecks about being robbed for the rest of his life.

Thing is, even if this happens, it’s going to be hard to put the genie back in the bottle. The President has given credence to conspiracy theories about Wall St Jews funding an invading horde or smallpox bearing gangsters, he’s got millions people up straight thinking anything they hear from proper sources is false, he’s praised violence against his opponents.

That crane that came down onto a house is still sitting there. I imagine there’s a shitfight going on in the background with insurance companies etc. There was a heap of concrete being poured at the site yesterday, so they’re probably shoring something up.

Does owning a gun reconcile with being sensible about it use, it gives you that option to use it in violence

I’m not unusual because I know others who would never use their guns in violent situations. Mainly becayse they simply don’t get into violent situations.

Should presidential eligibility include an IQ over 85

It’s kind of hard for me to believe that he doesn’t realise he can’t override the constitution so I can only assume he is playing to his <85 base in the lead up to the midterms. Next week he’ll just drop it and they’ll forget.

“I’m going to Florida. We’ll spend a lot of time. We’re going to make a speech tonight, or a rally. And we have a tremendous crowd. We have a lot of people. Whatever it is, it’s packed.”

Talk about a lyrical gangster. I think Im starting to warm to Trumps turn of phrase.

I used to keep my pistol broken down into four parts, each hidden in a separate hidey-hole in the house, shed, and garage.

Unless you found all four parts, it was probably less lethal than a hammer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_name_origins#England

So probably means “Norman’s place” or something similar. A place where a Norman lived or farmed etc.

“For instance -by and torp are much more common in placenames of Denmark whilst toft/taft and bister/ster/bost are more common in names of Norway; all these elements essentially mean ‘settlement/dwelling’.”

Still discussing “Normanby”.

“Place names in England

There are four main categories of Viking place names in England.

1. Place names ending in -by, such as Selby or Whitby. These -by endings are generally places where the Vikings settled first. In Yorkshire there are 210 -by place names. The -by has passed into English as ‘by-law’ meaning the local law of the town or village.”

Perhaps that what I saw. I remember being told it was nicknamed “Pig”. Perhaps that’s waht pilots called Piaggio aircraft. I don’t know. I remember it being a twin-pusher. I can’t recall it being amphibious, but perhaps it was and that was also part of the fun – why would one have an amphibious aircraft in the middle of the desert. IIRC the “Pig” was used out there originally on a film. “We of the Never-Never”?

There isn’t much I haven’t tried, apart from the cheaper ones with not much on them.

I’ll probably get a gourmet veg:

g1) Roasted Vege
semi-dried tomato pesto base, spinach, roasted eggplant, roasted red peppers,
zucchini, black olives, feta & basil pesto

you’ve got to near freeze the beer, and keep a number of glasses in the freezer, so when you pour it you get ice in the beer.

I do actually. Some things work, some things don’t. That one works. I had it at a restaurant in Sawtell. Because it mixed black beans and coconut cream, which I didn’t expect to go together. But it did and was very yummy.

‘Nothing to see here, move along, move along.’

Well, it is either Lion Air, or Boeing at fault. This was an almost brand new (2 months old) aeroplane to the latest updated design which entered service only in 2016. If it is not Lion Air, then I want to know if it was Boeing…

There weren’t any because they count as “seafood” which you don’t get on a Supreme.

Never mind, today I bought a jar of very nice Italian anchovies. I’ll add some to tonight’s supper plate later.

Anchovies are high in purines, and can exacerbate gout.

It was Lenny who used the word pestiferous.
Along the way Lenny met the Prime Minister, the Premier, Don Bradman and Pharlap.
Lenny’s story may be true or it has been embellished by journalists or he was just a lying little shit.

“In addition to forming at the same time and in similar geological environment, the ancient sedimentary rocks in Tasmania and Grand Canyon share the same zircon fingerprint. Together, this evidence supports the interpretation that these now widely separated rock units once formed part of the same sedimentary basin.”

That dates pinmatik back as much as 1.1 billion years to the late Mesoproterozoic era.

One such professor, Alan Collins, at the University of Adelaide, Australia, told New Scientist the paper shows Tasmania “holds the key” to understanding how the planet was put together.

It could help future geologists build full plate models of ancient Earth, he said.”

One such professor…? Who wrote this and where was the editor?

Hell no, it needs a major edit. But that was deliberate, I wanted to see if there were threads that I could do something with, things I could delete, things I needed to change.

The core of the novel is pretty good, I think.

I have a backlog. Several free ones I got from bookbub, the Sally field autobiography, last meals of Texas death row inmates, the new one from Markus Zuzak and the new one from Jane Harper.

Pretty badly ATM. I might have overdone things this year. Currently on about 600 words, the worst I’ve ever done on day one.

I can get more but what I was told this eve, was that the groved upper surface required some blood from a virgin and a hair from the person it was pointed at. The bone is either human or emu because of the colour. The crystal was significant as part of the generation of energy.

It’s more like samma yed.

Not around the Australian show rings. The usual “sam-oid” pronunciation from someone I know who used to show them years ago. Or perhaps the pronunciation needed to be made more yuppy or something.

I haven’t had one for more than 15 years, but when I used to show them they were, as buffy said, “sam-oid”. Things may have changed, of course, but I probably won’t change my pronunciation.

Alan Jones Flies Over The Great Barrier Reef, Announces That It’s Actually “Fine”

“Despite the global warming apologists, the world heritage listed Great Barrier Reef is still abundant with unique marine life,” said Jones on Monday. “These global warming alarmists will stop at nothing, and they now want to seize on the Great Barrier Reef as a means to stop coal mining.”

Well it is rather big so you can’t see all of it at once, even with a plane. Also a fair bit of it is underwater so what you can see from a plane is even more limited.

I’ve just finished reading a book about fascist/Nazi sympathisers in Britain during WW2.

There was an awful lot of them, many who were willing to betray Britain to help the Nazis.

Some were quite prominent and rather ‘untouchable’ e.g. the Duke of Bedford, and a lot of them would claim that ‘things aren’t as bad in Nazi Germany as they make out’ and declare that reports of Nazi atrocities were , in today’s words, ‘fake news’.

I can well imagine The Parrot being such a person.

It must be awkward for Alan Jones.

Even in today’s generally more enlightened atmosphere, he can’t, in 1980s parlance, ‘come out of the closet’ because it would alienate a lot of his rather-less-tolerant listeners.

So he lives a lie, while making a living telling lies.

Good morning.

Last night I slept in the middle of the bed, the bit without butt dents. It’s weird. Mini Me woke just after 5 and instead of jumping on me to wake me up like she with Mr Mutant, she played with her blocks and let me sleep. Well, doze, I wasn’t really properly sleeping.

Today’s agenda is to clean up this pigsty of a house and go grocery shopping and Mini Me wants a picnic and go for a bike ride. I want to get to 70k words in my novel. Shouldn’t take too long. One of my friends is a total overachiever and wrote over 50k words YESTERDAY for her NaNoWriMo effort.

Mostly cloudy with a top of 27 today.

Economists are from one of those disciplines where they’re very good at telling us what should happen, but who have no idea at all what will happen, or why it does.

And yet, people still listen to them, and pay them for their opinions.

‘Snake oil’, that’s the term i was looking for.

Seems to be a fixation with the number of words per day.

I assume that there’s some sort of narrative structure involved, and that people aren’t e.g. copying out the contents of the OED.

It never got below 26 degrees last night. In fact it was 31.5 degrees at midnight.

29.5°C now and heading for 38 with a 50% chance of a shower. We have probably already mssed that chance since the sky is bright and the clouds dissipating.

I don’t know, it might just be word vomit. She and another friend often end up with 200k+ words but they’ve never published anything. I met them both through the Bris NaNoWriMo Facebook group.

Thanks. There hasn’t really been rain here. They did cut off the outside signage some months ago when water got into that, but as that was disconnected from the circuit, it shouldn’t be that this time. I’ll see what happens. We only had wind yesterday, not rain.

Interesting question.

I suspect that they are of similar complexity, but economists are more likely to accept invalid logic that gives the answers they want to see.

The one you do to be annoying….at one time if you did a hard copy you had to get it witnessed so I had to go to the local police station and ask someone to witness for me. But if you did online, you didn’t have to do that. I thought that was Somewhat Inconsistent. Not like that now. I don’t think. Hang on, I’ll check the envelope.

At some levels yes.

But economic systems are more prone to large scale fluctuations that affect the whole system, whereas weather variations tend to be either local or more moderate.

Lets say your friend had worked for 16 hours, flat out on this (eating, washing, toileting, sleeping in the remaining 8 hours). That’s a shade over 52 words per minute. Most people find it hard to just type at that speed.

Bloody hell! I thought I was doing well a few years ago with ~7000 words in one day. I worked hard all day at it, too. (Most of it was stream-of-consciousness crap, but after editing (down to about 1200 words) it was OK.)

The Brissy NaNo people did a retreat a few years back. We did lots of writing exercises including how many words you can type in a minute. I could manage maybe 50 in a good run but there were people who were doing twice that, or more! I suspect they were just punching the keyboard though 😛

Yesterday I was bashing out something before writers group started and I was just typing normally; both the women sitting next to me remarked how fast I can type… I’m like, this is not fast, and it’s years of practice lol.

I’ve been asked to take the minutes of the next meeting. Usually the guy who does it uses a pen and paper… I’ll be using the iPad. It’ll blow their minds hahahahahahaha.

Yeah, easy enough if its all in the prefill, but if you have any complications like business income or self-funded super they’ve done a great job of making things hard to find.

Meanwhile for company tax you still have to get a paper form, fill it in by hand, and post it to them (or “fax” it, whatever that is).

My non-PC response – PCOS is predominantly a disease of fatties metformin aids a little weight loss and improves muscle sensitivity to insulin resulting in changed hormone levels (due to obesity).

The PC response is: It alters hormones (insulin and others) that results in less cysts.

“The benefits of metformin on insulin sensitivity have been demonstrated in non-DM women with PCOS. The use of metformin is associated with increased menstrual cyclicity, improved ovulation, and a reduction in circulating androgen levels (7). Metabolic benefits are enhanced in the presence of weight loss and weight loss itself may be enhanced in the presence of metformin “

We used to get camper van people in Bundaberg hospital on a regular basis.

Something about the open spaces and long stretches of straight road without much traffic seems to put the zap on some of them, and they’d develop a two-ton foot pressure on the accelerator. Korean kids seemed to be overly represented, but it was real UN meeting in Emergency sometimes.

The poor condition of a lot of the hire vans was a contributing factor – like trying make a tired old draught horse run the Melbourne Cup in 3:30.

The driving qualifications of some of the people who hire them are another matter altogether.

The stories the cops would tell us…no-one in the vehicle with any sort of license, people presenting licenses that belonged to other people, attempts to swap the unlicensed/untrained driver out of the driver’s seat after the event, no-one in the vehicle admitting to having been in the driver’s seat at the time (well, there’s your problem)…

Not to mention the language difficulties. I know i’m inviting the ‘racist’ label, but you could almost put money on any group of Asian kids having no-one among them with any English. Whether this was genuine, or shock-induced amnesia, it didn’t matter – there’s an interpreter service.

I wasn’t qualified as an interpreter, but i could be in the background to listen to conversations between French-speaking patients – sometimes got some useful ‘background’ to pass on to the people who needed to know.

Scott Morrison and his Papua New Guinea counterpart, Peter O’Neill, have signed off on a joint naval base to be located on Manus Island, in an effort by Australia to remain the country’s principal security partner at a time of rising Chinese influence in the region.

The joint facility, which crowds out an aspiration by Beijing to develop the port, was agreed between the two governments on Thursday, with details, including the costs of the project, to be worked out between officials.

Morrison used his first foreign policy speech as prime minister to underscore the importance of PNG and other countries in the region to Australia, characterising the Pacific as “family”.

Leaving aside the assylum seeker issues on Manus, I am whole-heartedly in agreement with developing a joint naval base somewhere in PNG and having closer ties generally with our nearer neighbours to block creeping Chinese influence. The South Pacific should be far more our focus than what it is now, we should abandon foreign policy posturing over the middle east and embassies in Jerusalem and the like and concentrate on what is going on in our own backyard.

‘Bloody devastated’: Family members of aviation pioneer have citizenship challenged

https://www.smh.com.au/national/bloody-devastated-family-members-of-aviation-pioneer-have-citizenship-challenged-20181101-p50dgl.html?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR217Wn9aD2SCdEn9D2edKF2CgryrssUxjlifH0amaJfiEIFYpcMKQ1oToY#Echobox=1541064797

Leaving aside the assylum seeker issues on Manus, I am whole-heartedly in agreement with developing a joint naval base somewhere in PNG and having closer ties generally with our nearer neighbours to block creeping Chinese influence. The South Pacific should be far more our focus than what it is now, we should abandon foreign policy posturing over the middle east and embassies in Jerusalem and the like and concentrate on what is going on in our own backyard.

With permission from the USA of course

Scott Morrison and his Papua New Guinea counterpart, Peter O’Neill, have signed off on a joint naval base to be located on Manus Island, in an effort by Australia to remain the country’s principal security partner at a time of rising Chinese influence in the region.

The joint facility, which crowds out an aspiration by Beijing to develop the port, was agreed between the two governments on Thursday, with details, including the costs of the project, to be worked out between officials.

Morrison used his first foreign policy speech as prime minister to underscore the importance of PNG and other countries in the region to Australia, characterising the Pacific as “family”.

Tensions would have to escalate tremendously for us to be forced to pick a side. As yet we can pursue Australia’s foreign policy interests by engaging both China and the USA.

I’m being sarcastic as we usually check with the USA about military matters like we need permission.
Australia could be a real target by China in the next few decades, lots of resources and land and a rather small defence force.

No one reads articles, I thought Cymek was referring to the article with his USA reference.

But, anyway, most of our joint military stuff is with the USA, so a choice has been made, regardless off tensions.

We need to invest in drones, lots of drones to make swarm attacks on unfriendly naval forces. Also known as long range anti-ship missiles. We also need to stop China from building bases in neighbouring countries that are within range of air and missile range of us, through being more friendly to those countries than China. Don’t forget the Chinese tactic is not based on friendship and mutual benefit, they are displaying a pattern where their investments create a debt-bondage situation with the host nation that they exploit later on.

Some of them are, yep. Unfortunately the specs they give (1080p, 30fps, 140° for example) really don’t tell you much about the image it produces. I would feel a lot more comfortable if I could see sample footage and read quality reviews.

I think it is 25 or 30 years ago when I last wore a dress. And I am always sitting cross legged. I am sitting cross legged now.

And I went to Hornsby Girls. And we were spent a good time there sitting cross legged.

I know. I keep on thinking what my father would have made of all of this. We certainly have changed course.

I wonder how many families there are with similar problems, who don’t happen to have a famous pioneer aviator in their family.

My father got thrown out of the Forster RSL sometime in the early 70s because they refused to allow Mick, who was aboriginal, but served in my father’s battalion, into the establishment. My father was a captain. They were all his boys.

Geez, that’s pretty ripe…

Maybe we could get all the Christians who think that failure to follow biblical law should be a capital offence together with all the Muslims who think that blasphemy should be a capital offence.

And let them fight it out.

So that was still going on into the 70’s?

Yeah..and so I wonder how he would go with…

‘Each of the children were immediately registered and granted Australian citizenship, and when they turned six they were packed off to boarding school in Sydney. There they spent their weekends and holidays with their aunt, Nancy-Bird. One of John’s daughters is Mary-Anne, who at 64 remains an active member of the Australian Army Reserve, which she has now served for 29 years.’

and..

‘“I was bloody devastated. They are Australian. I am Australian. I have been a member of the RSL for 50 years and I get a veteran’s pension.’

and..’

‘“I am serving in the Australian Army. I have had my security check. You can’t serve in the Army if you are not a citizen,” she says.’

There was a good Facebook exchange featured on reddit or similar a while back.

Some US funny-mentalist said that ‘Biblical law’ should apply to marriages.

Someone responded that, if he recalled his college days correctly, then the fundamentalist might be losing his missus under that regime, for does it not say in Deuteronomy 22:13-21: ““A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed”?

Not quite right.

The ADF routinely recruits New Zealand citizens who are Permanent Residents to serve in the military.

Permanent residents who can prove they have applied for citizenship. Or permanent residents who are ineligible to apply for Australian citizenship as long as they are prepared to apply for citizenship within 3 months of commencing service (or 6 months if in the ADF Reserve). If permanent residents refuse citizenship or fail in their application, their ADF service will be terminated.

Overseas applicants with relevant military experience from allied countries who have significant military experience can apply to join the Armed Forces. A willingness to apply for citizenship is a requirement. In exceptional circumstances, if a position cannot be filled by an Australian Citizen the citizenship requirement may be waived and applications may be accepted.

Before I even read that, the article mentioned it was not down to all vehicles, caveats on usage and it was not so much about reliability but loss of performance.

Neutral Bay used to do some nice pizzas that were just a smear of tomato sauce, some cheese and figs or such like. Wood fired and crispy but it wouldn’t work in a cardboard box half an hour later.

Happily the existence of wood fired pizza shops in Nuetral Bay is not conditional on your being aware of their existence.

I was renting a one bed unit for $38 a week. I looked at real estate.com the other day and the unit recently sold around 750k. Which I think is a lot for a little unit with two windows.

Neither do I. Looks pcv up.

Positive crankcase ventilation involves recycling these gases through a valve (called, appropriately, the PCV valve) to the intake manifold, where they’re pumped back into the cylinders for another shot at combustion. It isn’t always desirable to have these gases in the cylinders because they tend to be mostly air and can make the gas-air mixture in the cylinders a little too lean — that is, too low on gasoline — for effective combustion. So the blow-by gases should only be recycled when the car is traveling at slow speeds or idling. Fortunately, when the engine is idling the air pressure in the intake manifold is lower than the air pressure in the crankcase, and it’s this lower pressure (which sometimes approaches pure vacuum) that sucks the blow-by gases through the PCV valve and back into the intake. When the engine speeds up, the air pressure in the intake manifold increases and the suction slows down, reducing the amount of blow-by gas recycled to the cylinders.

EGR stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation and virtually all modern cars, petrol or diesel, employ this technique to control pollutants in the exhaust via an EGR valve.

The basic problem is that there can be no such thing as an honest politician.

You don’t get anywhere in politics without doing some dirty and underhanded things, so every politician is vulnerable to blackmail by moneyed interests, who have the money and resources to dig up that dirt.

However, it’s much more convenient to have politicians who willingly do what you require of them, so bribery is the usual first course. If they take the money, then they feel that they owe it to you to do as you tell them – and, it’s another thing you can put in the blackmail file.

If they refuse the money, you spill the beans on them, they get the heave-ho, and you hope that their replacement will be more sensible.

Were are you up to in Haunting Of Hill House, finishing episode 3

Really good show, the children are great and the skip between them as young and adults is well done.
Quite sad

I’m up to the last episode.

I love young Luke, he is the star of the show as far as I’m concerned!

The little kid with the glasses?

That’s him. He’s adorable and I want to adopt him.

Does it depend on who is in government?

Or who’s lurking in the forum background.

I just got here. But you don’t need to lurk for very long to catch one of your self satisfied little ditties blaming everyone else for the state of the world and your own inadequacies. Soon you’ll be going on about the Melbourne club etc.

The basic problem is that there can be no such thing as an honest politician.

You don’t get anywhere in politics without doing some dirty and underhanded things, so every politician is vulnerable to blackmail by moneyed interests, who have the money and resources to dig up that dirt.

However, it’s much more convenient to have politicians who willingly do what you require of them, so bribery is the usual first course. If they take the money, then they feel that they owe it to you to do as you tell them – and, it’s another thing you can put in the blackmail file.

If they refuse the money, you spill the beans on them, they get the heave-ho, and you hope that their replacement will be more sensible.

God you talk a lot of pure unadulterated crap.

I bet that’s how most politics work

And what level of experience do you have with politics? Helped out the school PTA? Volunteered at a sporting club? Anything?

Evidence for it exists everywhere, political party donations are bribes for example, indiscretions are overlooked until you can use them to get rid of someone. Of course that’s how it works, the entire system is set up to protect the rich and powerful. Wars for profit are another example. Why are politicians caught rorting the system charged with criminal offences, if you misappropriated funds in your job you would be

The things done by governments included war crimes, genocide, covering up health problems, wars for resource protection.

I don’t think we are. I think a couple of things are hard wired into us, conflict and warfare as befitting territorial apes protecting resources and a developed sense of inquiry and wonder which leads to intelligence but also spirituality for some people. You can’t reason your way out of either.

I don’t think we are. I think a couple of things are hard wired into us, conflict and warfare as befitting territorial apes protecting resources and a developed sense of inquiry and wonder which leads to intelligence but also spirituality for some people. You can’t reason your way out of either.

Perhaps not we will most likely survive even a worst case scenario won’t kill us all but its a pity our beautiful planet and everything else living on it will suffer the most.

I agree with what Cymek is saying, we need to overall the political system.

Government corruption figures worldwide are at around 80 percent.

To be fair Australia probably is quite good, but what about the nations with more clout.
Some of the members of the UN security council are run by dictators and criminals

Weeding needs to be done continuously. Greed is a basic instinct for some, bullying comes from greed, countries that want to change have to address bullies in all parts of life, schools, business and politics.

Greed and bullying are negative emotions, part of the problem is most of the world is not teaching emotional intelligence and emotional control.

Control the bullies with their greed and then humanity can do something about the environment.

If we leave the bullies and their greed in power and nothing will happen.

This needs to happen world wide.

Lets say you create a fund and get donations worldwide with the purpose of creating drones to clean up the oceans, no profit involved and the people work for cost or volunteer. Would you be allowed to actually implement it without going through a government committee who are just as likely to veto it.

It’s not over yet. Richer countries look after the environment better and countries are getting richer. The Thames as an example is cleaner now than it was a few hundred years ago. Developing countries will pick up their acts as well when they can afford to do so.

Wars are only started by a minority of people. Dictators like Kim Jong-un, Russia’s President etc

Conflict and warfare are run by bullies.

If the masses control the bullies then there will be no wars.

The Key to controlling bullies is emotional intelligence taught to everyone.

According to Dr. James G. Hamilton, author of the pioneering paper on needle phobia, it is likely that the form of needle phobia that is genetic has some basis in evolution, given that thousands of years ago humans who meticulously avoided stab wounds and other incidences of pierced flesh would have a greater chance of survival.

I didn’t think the Single FIn was that good. Just it was was on special for around the same price as ordinary VB type stuff, and I much prefer the craft ale type genre over Aussie bitters and lagers, as styles of beers go.

It was the last stop on a three-day visit to the state as part of his new role as special envoy for Indigenous affairs.

He shook hands, stopped by classroom and spoke with students then made a tactless remark.

“Thank you for putting up with the invasion,” he said.

‘Migrant workers are the worst paid and ‘unlikely to complain about stolen wages’

‘Bundaberg Fruit and Vegetable Growers chairman Allan Mahoney has campaigned on the issue for eight years.’

Mr Mahoney said not enough was being done to stamp out the exploitation.

“What we need is enforcement,” he said.

“We need to set examples of the criminal element that is still within the industry. ‘ – ABC News

I hope he’s serious. Some of his members may be among the offenders.

When i first went to Bundaberg, i did picking work. Really, i was better off on the dole.

Later, i met a bloke whose life was picking. He’d move between SA, Vic, NSW, Qld, according to the season, and had done for decades.

He said that Bundaberg paid the least per bucket, and had the biggest buckets, of anywhere that he knew of.

Not just the criminal element, but greedy farmers too. They (farmers) are far from being all bad, but there are quite a few to give fruit and veg picking a bad name.

He does it more regularly than others. He doesn’t make retractions. He has no empathy.

He can even be aggressive and sees no fault in it. He turns up the other day at Julia’s portrait unveiling and looks perplexed when no one was throwing their arms around him and making him feel welcome. He went out of his way to destroy her life but can’t see how that would stop anyone from being his bestie.

The system is adversarial and selects for people like that. Unfortunately.

In all fairness to Tony I think it would have been a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation. If he didn’t show up to the portrait ceremony he would have been criticised for it. As it is, he didn’t look comfortable, but at least he turned up.

I was in the supermarket one evening, and i saw a lady from work. We found out that we were both shopping for that night’s dinner.

Later, at work, she asked what i ended up with.

‘We had chicken breast raised in white wine, sauteed potatoes with chives, caramelised carrots and green beans’.

She gave me a very straight-faced look.

‘I had beans on toast’.

KC DOUGLAS 1952

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsTfCITzISM

and wiki..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_Blues

““Mercury Blues” is a song written by K. C. Douglas and Robert Geddins, and first recorded by Douglas in 1948. The song, originally titled “Mercury Boogie,” pays homage to the American automobile, which ended production in 2010.

The song has been covered among others by the Steve Miller Band (1967, at The Monterey International Pop Festival, and 1976, on their album, Fly Like an Eagle), David Lindley (1981), the Finn Pave Maijanen (1987), Alan Jackson (1993), Meat Loaf (2003) and Dwight Yoakam (2004). Maijanen’s version in Finnish is named “Pakko saada BMW” (meaning Gotta have a BMW), but Maijanen has performed the song as “Mercury Blues” live as well. Lindley’s version, from his 1981 album El Rayo-X, peaked at number 34 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Meat Loaf’s version appears as a hidden track at the end of his 2003 album Couldn’t Have Said It Better. Dwight Yoakam’s version appears on his 2002 boxed set, Reprise Please, Baby, and later on his 2004 compilation album, Dwight’s Used Records. More recently, a blues version appeared on Jackson Browne’s Love Is Strange: En Vivo Con Tino (2010), backed by David Lindley.

Rights to the song were purchased by the Ford Motor Company (who already owned the Mercury marque). Ford, in turn, used it for a television commercial featuring Alan Jackson singing his version of the song with the word “Mercury” replaced by the words “Ford Truck.”

But the entertainment companies insisted that the censorship system in the 2015 law would drive people away from infringement and into legit markets. Three years later, they’ve admitted failure — and rather than focusing on pricing and availability, the companies are now calling for much more censorship in a new copyright bill that is racing towards passage so quickly it might actually make it into law before the Australian government collapses (again).

The new censorship rules would allow blocking orders against sites whose “primary effect” is infringement — and we know from other lawsuits and proposed laws that this is content-speak for “a site with a lot of infringement,” even if the infringement is a tiny fraction of the overall material available. For example, Viacom argued that the thousands of infringing videos on Youtube meant that it was a pirate site, even though the majority of the billions of videos on YouTube were uploaded by their creators.

There is a place in Warrnambool called Mac’s Snacks, which is now 70 years old. For their 50th they had a deal that if you brought in pre decimal currency coins, you could get stuff from the original menu for the price on the menu. Mr buffy tells me they are doing it again for their 70th. Breakfast plates were two and six. (2 shillings and 6pence)

Wonder what the coins are worth to those weirdo numistacysts or whatever the collectors call themselves, could be worth more than the meal you’re buying it with. 10/10 for novelty value though.

I could do something similar, bring in pre-decimal currency and buy the cough syrup or upper your grandparents used to get…I may go to gaol though.

The syrups etc were often loaded with morphine, cannabis oil, alcohol, and the uppers of course, had amphetamine or cocaine in them (all available over the counter, until the late early 50s/60s).

Charge the prices they paid as well?

Then, with all of that at about 15 cents a bottle/packet, you’d do a roaring trade.

Yeah you can go through a lot of cheap generators, I’ve had a few.
However my big one for running tools and the like hasn’t missed a beat in 5 years.

It is “roundup is your friend” time, the last few weeks. And chainsaw duties. Like putting the chain on the right way round, and new spark plug. Chainsaws don’t run for 10 weeks continuously.

Well on the key ring is a wireless doover so if you press the button on the doover from a distance the machine starts.

Now i can see it. I have to use a Brisbane I.P.

How odd that they seem to bar access by people from Sydney.

That generator resembles some i’ve seen before, and i remember the ‘Ross’ name now. They don’t advertise like Yamaha etc., do they? But then, the reputation and word-of-mouth for some products can be quite enough.

They do seem to be quite serious generators.

Yeah, but the big fella has to constantly run at 3000 or 1500 RPM to maintain the correct output frequency no matter what the load. The inverter jobby can just put along if there is no load.

Dunlite used to have a good reputation. Do they still? I had a 5 kVA Dunlite for years, to run the opal mine. It had been a hire genset before I bought it. It was good, but heavy.

I was going to ask you how they work, because I don’t understand the on-line explanations.

With a normal type synchronous generator (bog standard) the output frequency is determined by the number of poles of the generator and the rpm. Frequency = (RPM x Poles)/120. So for 50 Hz output and a two pole generator the generator needs to run at a constant 3000 RPM. This is independent of the load, so quite fuel ineffecient.

In an inverter generator the output of the genny feeds an electrical converter which will do a AC – DC – AC conversion. The output of the gen is converted to DC (AC – DC) and then this DC is converted back to AC (DC – AC). The output frequency is completely independent of the generator speed. So at low load the motor can just putt along as it only just needs to keep the inverter running. As the load increases the motor speed increases.

How reliable are the inverter generators? They would certainly be better on the fuel consumption as they don’t have to run at synchronous speed.

I was going to ask you how they work, because I don’t understand the on-line explanations.

With a normal type synchronous generator (bog standard) the output frequency is determined by the number of poles of the generator and the rpm. Frequency = (RPM x Poles)/120. So for 50 Hz output and a two pole generator the generator needs to run at a constant 3000 RPM. This is independent of the load, so quite fuel ineffecient.

In an inverter generator the output of the genny feeds an electrical converter which will do a AC – DC – AC conversion. The output of the gen is converted to DC (AC – DC) and then this DC is converted back to AC (DC – AC). The output frequency is completely independent of the generator speed. So at low load the motor can just putt along as it only just needs to keep the inverter running. As the load increases the motor speed increases.

yes, this is correct. i have a honda inverter genny.

Tunks park is down in the valley. I remember my brother playing football down there occasionally.

We’d go there for family outings, when visiting the rellies in Chatswood.

It doesn’t have to be grafted. It can be grown from hardwood cuttings quite easily. Seedlings may be similar or unusually different.
It is simply easier to put a bud on a tree at this time of year than trying cuttings.

Anyway. I know of at lleast five white mulberry trees within a few minutes walk from my door. I am allowed to eat as many as I want. However, I could by next winter have trees to pass on to others.

There’s a mulberry tree (I think it’s a white mulberry) behind us that is growing over the fence. There’s a (very) few flowers on it now. I’ve never tasted the fruit. There are no fruit on it now.

The white mulberry is the sweetest. The weeping mulberry next sweetest though both are bland compared to the hicks and the black English. The distinct lack of tartness in the white mulberries is sugary but a subtle flavour not as complex as the black mulberries. The seedlings of the weeping mulberry are longer and tapered with a more complex flavour not disagreeabe at all.

That’s alright. As long as it can survive in a big pot in my courtyard over summer and look a bit greenish.

I killed the last expensive proper plant in that pot over the winter.

>Sam Hay, a restaurant owner in the Tasmanian city of Launceston, estimated he lost 25 per cent of his business on Friday.

“We were having to have people turned away at the door because as soon as they walked in we had to let them know that we didn’t have any EFTPOS,” he said.<

Hmm, EFTPOS was fine here in the village yesterday in both the IGA & BWS.

Yes but this guy says: “We’re in Tasmania as well so the options are quite limited, so it’s basically just Telstra or Telstra here.”

…which is clearly not true.

When we moved here, I wanted to get naked DSL and use mobiles only. Turns out only Telstra could offer internet. And naked DSL was not on their list. So we got the Telstra home phone with Telstra ADSL. The deal was unlimited phone calls with the internet as a package.

They’ve written to me about the NBN, saying I can have the same deal. Turns out I can’t. Phone calls are a paid extra.

Point is that I couldn’t get my previous cheap internet provider here…

We are back. Mowed grass. Picked asparagus, broccoli and broad beans. Checked on the troublesome electricity at the practice…the safety switch thingy had flipped again, so the security lights are setting it off. We’ll chase up the electrician when we are back at work on Wednesday. Went to the cafe for lunch and ate a breakfast type meal.

Caught the two Hamburg chooks out of the aviary and put them back into the chook run. Caught the cockatiel, who did not appreciate it and bit me, and put him in a travel box for a while. Then Mr buffy and I shooed out the sparrows from the aviary. Mr Cockatiel is now enjoying a nice quiet aviary to himself. I’ll give him one of the quiet chooks later to keep him company. Gytha has gone clucky, so she needs to be isolated for a while.

My local ANZ ATM is working, it dispensed me some cash this morning.

Now I’m going to the local school fair to see if I can waste it on some plants.

Trouble is, they only sell weeds at those events.

That’s alright. As long as it can survive in a big pot in my courtyard over summer and look a bit greenish.

I killed the last expensive proper plant in that pot over the winter.

Disappointing. No suitable plants for sale. Only some very small and very expensive succulents which is not what I was after, and some kids gardens in a pot which seemed to e mostly strawberries.

I could do something similar, bring in pre-decimal currency and buy the cough syrup or upper your grandparents used to get…I may go to gaol though.

The syrups etc were often loaded with morphine, cannabis oil, alcohol, and the uppers of course, had amphetamine or cocaine in them (all available over the counter, until the late early 50s/60s).

Don’t forget the opium. Although that might have been a bit earlier.

Yeah you can go through a lot of cheap generators, I’ve had a few.
However my big one for running tools and the like hasn’t missed a beat in 5 years.

When the el cheapo little ones pack it in I wheel out the Ross.

I’ve never heard of Ross before. I reckon I don’t need anything like 8 kVA.

Dunlite used to have a good reputation. Do they still? I had a 5 kVA Dunlite for years, to run the opal mine. It had been a hire genset before I bought it. It was good, but heavy.

Oi! Mr buffy supplied you with the bees knees the other day!

Many of the succulents are very easy to grow from bits. Do you know anyone who has any? Beg some bits and stick them into some soil in your pot. Most or all will probably take root. Hang on and I’ll show you my little nursery of small bits stuck into soil. Geraniums/pelargoniums also grow quite readily from bits pulled off and stuck into the soil.

By my reckoning, I may only need 2.4 kVA, or less. I looked at that site, but that was the only “Ross” brand genset there. And I’ve never heard of them before.

I’m not really after succulents, more of a small shrub or bush. I have a large pot about 60 cm diameter and 60 cm high, I want something that fills that space and grows to about the same height. Even a small fruit tree might suit.

Our vegetables suffer lack of water frequently. By this time of year, we need 3 mm of rain daily to stop them wilting.

Ah, OK. I don’t think you will find many fruit trees quite that small. Geranium still stands as a possibility requiring little maintenance except cutting back. What about a lavender or a rosemary bush. Both could be clipped to a nice shape and are about the size you are thinking about if you do clip them. And both are very hardy. And smell nice.

If you are only going to have a couple of plants in pots they should not only be decorative but also usable in some form. Some people grow cumquats or bay trees. Herbs are good. Anything hardy that provides greenery, flowers and food.

Disappointing. No suitable plants for sale. Only some very small and very expensive succulents which is not what I was after, and some kids gardens in a pot which seemed to e mostly strawberries.

Many of the succulents are very easy to grow from bits. Do you know anyone who has any? Beg some bits and stick them into some soil in your pot. Most or all will probably take root. Hang on and I’ll show you my little nursery of small bits stuck into soil. Geraniums/pelargoniums also grow quite readily from bits pulled off and stuck into the soil.

That’s the sort of stuff you get at market days. Aggie’s pants.

Our vegetables suffer lack of water frequently. By this time of year, we need 3 mm of rain daily to stop them wilting.

I have to put that on with a hose.

The policy of not allowing user-propelled wheelchairs right up, and ideally onto, the planes.

Actually, non-user-propelled wheelchairs are dumb: frustrating to the user and time wasting for the pusher.

I guess they’ll have to make sure they’ve got a couple of spare wheelchairs around that can be self-propelled by the person sitting in them.

Anyways, I thought Luton was one of those airports used by the no-frills budget airlines, so can’t expect standards to be high.

You’ll have to design new planes then. And pay more for fares. They are big things and even my old tractor driver man, who is excellent with driving his, can only get it into places big enough for it to go.

I was at university with this guy. We did a couple of courses together. We had him and his carer around for dinner one time and he came to a few parties. We lost touch when I went to Sydney Uni. He had a hand-held “telescope” so that he could read writing on the blackboard, one letter at a time. Good on him!

It’s fair enough for him to claim that in his opinion being pushed in a wheelchair to the taxi is not an ideal way of travelling, but it seems very flimsy grounds on which to try to sue them.

Just back from a cross-town jaunt with the Barely-Domesticated Wolf.

Along the way, there’s this house. It has a high-peaked roof with dormer windows which have lead-lighted panes in them, and it has a spiral concrete column on the little front ‘porch’ and lead-lighted panes in the downstairs windows, and little curlicues and i don’t know what all.

It looks like something out of Disney, or like confectionery.

Is there a name for that style? Apart from ‘silly’ i mean.

e.g If you don’t insist on ‘authorised staff’ piloting the wheelchair, you might get sued for not providing enough assistance (especially if a mishap befalls the client). If you do insist on ‘authorised staff’ assisting, you might get sued for denial of rights etc. as here.

Should provide employment for lawyers and a judge, if nothing else.

I note that they didn’t have chair he could propel himself. That does seem to be a silly oversight.

Do we have any architecture whizzes around here?

Just back from a cross-town jaunt with the Barely-Domesticated Wolf.

Along the way, there’s this house. It has a high-peaked roof with dormer windows which have lead-lighted panes in them, and it has a spiral concrete column on the little front ‘porch’ and lead-lighted panes in the downstairs windows, and little curlicues and i don’t know what all.

It looks like something out of Disney, or like confectionery.

Is there a name for that style? Apart from ‘silly’ i mean.

What period? You’ll need to provide pictures.

You’re right, i need to get a pic. Every time i drive past, i think, yes, i should stop and take a pic.

From a quick look at your ref. (thanks for that), i think it might be some mutation from Spanish Mission style.

It’s intriguing, makes you wonder what it’s like inside, because it’s pretty fruity outside.

No. None there either. I’ve never seen kikuyu in Rainbow Beach.

Probably a very good thing.

It was a terrific lawn in Armidale. No mowing May to September. Greened up late September and grew until January. Picked up rust then and grew little until May when the frosts stopped it growing. Had a good soft thatch and the kids didn’t get sores from playing on it.

Timeline is interesting.

—————-

We can’t be sure precisely when Australia’s major political parties lost the public on the issue of offshore detention, but the morning of August 20 confirmed it.

It was day one of a planned three-month Kids Off Nauru campaign, initiated by World Vision, and it began with Rupert Murdoch’s conservative tabloid newspapers firmly on the bandwagon.

That morning, Sydney’s Daily Telegraph ran a heartwarming picture of a young child, born into detention on Nauru, on its front page.

Inside, across two pages, there were more pictures, along with an emotive account of the lives of the “stateless babies” and the other “unseen children” living in mouldy tents, sharing dirty bathrooms, playing with donated toys on the “rocky remnants of a phosphate mine and staring through the wire fences of the camp”.

The same piece ran on the front of the Adelaide Advertiser and, inside, in Melbourne’s Herald Sun and Brisbane’s Courier-Mail.

This was a big development, though not so much because it indicated the Murdoch empire was setting out to shift public opinion on the indefinite detention of children. The piece amounted to an acknowledgment that public opinion already had decisively shifted.

As a Murdoch newspaper source told The Saturday Paper this week: “Whatever else you might say about News Corp, we can see which way the wind is blowing.”

In the months before that story ran, the source said, editorial decision-makers at News Corp had divined that popular opinion was rapidly shifting on offshore detention, and that they should start shifting with it – for business as much as for humanitarian reasons. Like political parties, populist media is poll-driven.

And so, when World Vision came to them, offering an on-their-own story about the children on Nauru, News Corp ran with it.

The story carried an “exclusive” tag and the byline of Jennifer Sexton, who was handpicked by Ruth Lamperd, news editor at World Vision, because she was “a good, straight reporter”. Lamperd and her team had done a lot of legwork to pull the story together, calling in favours from its network of contacts developed over the past five years on Nauru.

World Vision had been planning for that day – the launch of the Kids Off Nauru campaign – for two months. Pictures and video of the kids on Nauru were taken “by a person who won’t be named and can’t be known”. They organised for the families of the children to give their informed consent for the use of the images. They provided the quotes from the families about the kids’ mental and physical health concerns.
“Australians like order. We don’t like queue jumpers, we want the queue to proceed in an orderly fashion. The queue should be quick and children should not be trampled in the queue.”

And they dropped it to The Daily Telegraph, specifically, because it is a populist publication with a conservative readership who may not be reached by other media that’s been covering Nauru closely over the past few years.

“The offshore issue has been dealt with in a very comprehensive way by various serious media,” Lamperd says, “but it becomes a bit of a circle, where the people who are reading about it are the people who already care about it.”

The reasoning behind giving the exclusive to The Telegraph was not just that it would bring the issue to a different audience, but that it would send to the government – and also to the Opposition – a clear message. If even the right-wing press were on board with the move to get children off Nauru, the situation had become politically untenable.

The campaign exerted pressure in other strategic ways, too. On September 20, for example, the Christian humanitarian organisation Micah sent a delegation of women leaders to Canberra to lobby. They represented a range of faiths – Anglican, Baptist, Salvation Army – and most notably several representatives of big Pentecostal churches. They met with various politicians of professed faith, from both major parties, and had a 40-minute meeting with Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton, the public face of the government’s hardline asylum seeker policy.

Again, the significance was not just in the message, but in the people delivering it – religious conservatives, the kind of people the Liberal Party’s religious right is wont to describe as “the base”.

It took a few months for the reality to sink in with the politicians. Then, this week, the Morrison government capitulated to the Kids Off Nauru campaign. On Thursday morning, Simon Benson of The Australian came with the exclusive announcement: “The Morrison government plans to have all children of asylum-seekers still on Nauru relocated to Australia by the end of the year.”

On the face of it, things seem to have moved very quickly. In some ways, they have. Several hundred organisations – not just the usual refugee activist groups but a large number of churches and even an array of corporate entities – signed up to the Kids Off Nauru campaign almost immediately. According to refugee advocates, there were 119 children on Nauru on August 20, when the campaign started. It is understood that 135 people, including 47 children, have come to Australia since October 15 – many on medical grounds, and almost always after legal action. The Australian reported that only 40 children remained.

It’s a testament to the impact of The Telegraph’s coverage that the Kids campaign, which had been planned to run for three months up to Universal Children’s Day on November 20, was able to achieve its goal three weeks early.

According to the organisers, though, the removal of children from offshore detention is just its first step. As the campaign’s website says: “Our position is that no-one should be held indefinitely and an enduring solution must be found for everyone.”

The Reverend Tim Costello, chief advocate for World Vision and chief executive of Micah, says the key to the Kids Off Nauru campaign lay in the separation of two related problems – the issue of how Australia secures its borders against a further influx of asylum seekers and the other issue of how we deal with those who have come, and been detained, already.

“The first thing we had to do was simplify the message,” he says. “But the problem was, the refugee activist community was split between pragmatism and principle.”

Principle holds that boat turnbacks are just as are wrong in law as indefinite offshore detention.

As a policy brief by the Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law summarised last year, the military-led border security operations of Australia – and those more recently adopted by European nations – do not accord with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue, the Safety of Life at Sea Convention, the Refugee Convention or the core international human rights treaties.

Unfortunately for principle, though, the turnback policy remains popular with the public.

“That,” says Costello, “is why people like Robert Manne, John Menadue, Frank Brennan and I started arguing and writing pieces saying that whatever we think about the turnback policy, it needs to be unhinged from offshore detention.”

Costello freely concedes that some refugee advocates believe them to have “sold out” because their argument is essentially based on the premise that boat turnbacks have been so successful that Australia can afford to lighten up on detention. The continuation of interdiction is the price of freeing the people on Nauru and Manus.

However, various polls attest to the reality that public opinion now endorses this utilitarian view. Only last weekend, a YouGov Galaxy poll published in The Sunday Telegraph showed almost 80 per cent of people wanted children and their families transferred off Nauru. Again, it ran on page one. This time the headline was “Free Nauru Kids: Voters tell PM to take NZ offer.”

The Wentworth byelection was another clue to the big shift in popular opinion, with the treatment of asylum seekers identified alongside climate change and the dumping of Malcolm Turnbull as a major issue for voters.

Kerryn Phelps, who took the seat, ran hard on the issue of kids in detention. She is still running hard on it. “The suffering of those people held in offshore detention, particularly children, is something the Australian people don’t want any longer to have on their conscience,” she tells The Saturday Paper.

“People know the realities now: one in four children suicidal, children with traumatic withdrawal syndrome. I believe it has become personal. People start to see their own children, their own grandchildren, in these kids. It was, ‘No, not in our name.’ ”

Phelps campaigned on bringing them to Australia. But she did not oppose boat turnbacks.

“I believe we want strong border protection policies, but you can have them without having offshore detention,” she says.

“Certainly, if we have offshore processing, that should be rapid and have a quick resolution.”

It is an astute position, as social researcher Rebecca Huntley can attest. There is good evidence to suggest the Australian public now shares the view that the time has come to get everyone out of offshore detention.

By coincidence, at the same time as the Kids Off Nauru campaign launched, Huntley was working with a series of focus groups in Peter Dutton’s electorate of Dickson, north of Brisbane.

The five groups she spoke with were carefully selected to include people who had voted for Dutton at the last election and were considering either not voting for him at the upcoming election or were undecided. The overall message she got from the groups was that “it was looking grim for him. Really grim.”

That’s hardly a major revelation, given the general unpopularity of the government and the 1.8 per cent margin by which Dutton holds Dickson.

More interesting was what the groups told her about asylum seekers. It underlined the tactical cleverness of the Kids Off Nauru campaign and also suggested even the government’s new promise to get the children off may not be enough.

“Those undecided voters were 100 per cent behind boat turnbacks, but really did not like offshore detention at all,” Huntley says.

“They and other groups I’ve worked with don’t see turnbacks as an interlocking policy with offshore detention. Their view is, if you’re turning back boats effectively, you don’t need detention. And they knew that most people were getting here by plane anyway.

“And it’s a larger thing than just the kids. There is a sense that the system is not working. They called it a failed experiment. They want an orderly and certain process that doesn’t involve the detention, particularly, of children. But not only of children.”

Huntley’s conversations revealed that these voters – swinging Liberals – were concerned about the government’s secrecy, about the perception that it had no longer term plan, and about the fact the situation had become generally “disorderly”.

“Australians like order. We don’t like queue jumpers, we want the queue to proceed in an orderly fashion. The queue should be quick and children should not be trampled in the queue,” she says.

Then there was the matter of cost. These people resented the fact that every case, every request for the medical transfer of a physically or mentally damaged detainee, was expensively fought in the courts. They also disliked that detention saw money flowing to corrupt governments.

It’s hard to argue with their perception about cost. The offshore detention regime is ridiculously expensive, as the Kaldor Centre showed in a fact sheet released in August, citing official audit figures. It costs $400,000 a year to hold an asylum seeker in offshore detention, compared with $239,000 to hold one in onshore detention. It costs about $40,000 for an asylum seeker to live in the community on a bridging visa while their claim is processed.

The official line of the Home Affairs bureaucracy, rigidly adhered to by the major political parties, is that if they were to allow those asylum seekers to come here, it would create a powerful “pull factor”. More boats would come, more people would die at sea. No doubt the view is sincerely held by many who remember the number of boat people that preceded the decision to implement offshore detention, and who worry that a fickle public has forgotten.

Earlier this week – indeed, on the day before the government’s announcement that it would bring all the children to Australia – the head of the Home Affairs Department, Mike Pezzullo, was asked by The Saturday Paper for his view on why public sentiment had shifted on offshore detention. He replied simply: “Amnesia.”

When asked to elaborate, he repeated “amnesia” and recalled that “when the boats were coming, and people were drowning, the imperative was ‘Stop the boats’. Absolutely, the imperative was ‘Stop the boats’…”

The next aim of the Kids campaign, according to Tim Costello, is to resolve Morrison’s issue with resettlement to New Zealand. During the Howard government’s offshore detention regime, 401 refugees were resettled there – without the prohibitions Morrison is demanding on future entry to Australia.

“New Zealand is the good Samaritan in this parable,” says Costello. “And Australia is like the priest and the Levite, not prepared to help. In fact, we’re beating up on the good Samaritan.”

Late on Thursday, Dutton denied the children were being removed from Nauru out of humanitarian concern. Instead, he emphasised the $1 billion yearly cost of offshore detention.

He insisted none of the hundreds brought to Australia would be allowed to settle permanently, yet continued to spurn the New Zealand offer for being a pull factor.

If Rebecca Huntley’s focus group research reinforces the view that it is no longer politically useful to hold people in offshore detention, it is nonetheless clear the asylum seekers remain hostage to politics.

I am no good at it, I know the theory, watched youtubes, I can get metal off them cos I see it in the lubricant but never a really good edge. In Canberra you could ring a man in a van.

I have oil stones and diamond sharpening stones et al. Used to spend hours putting a decent edge on my knives. I found it quite a sooting job. Eventually decided to try out the leather wheel. It’s at least an order of magnitude faster and gives a better result :)

And I should say I’d tried steels and whet-stones without success.

Very obviously made of stacked ice cream cones of a rectangular kind popular in England at the time. In fact I have a photo of me eating such an ice cream aged about two.

Yeah, I do. I made a special wheel for my bench grinder which is just a wooden wheel that is covered with a leather belt. Put some polishing compound on it and it only takes a few minutes to get a knife razor sharp.

I am no good at it, I know the theory, watched youtubes, I can get metal off them cos I see it in the lubricant but never a really good edge. In Canberra you could ring a man in a van.

I have oil stones and diamond sharpening stones et al. Used to spend hours putting a decent edge on my knives. I found it quite a sooting job. Eventually decided to try out the leather wheel. It’s at least an order of magnitude faster and gives a better result :)

What sort of polishing compound?

I use the grey stuff on a sanding belt for the rougher work and then finish off with the green stuff on my stropping wheel.

Yes. I actually first got the idea watching a video from a bloke who was using it for his chisels.

Many of the succulents are very easy to grow from bits. Do you know anyone who has any? Beg some bits and stick them into some soil in your pot. Most or all will probably take root. Hang on and I’ll show you my little nursery of small bits stuck into soil. Geraniums/pelargoniums also grow quite readily from bits pulled off and stuck into the soil.

I’m not really after succulents, more of a small shrub or bush. I have a large pot about 60 cm diameter and 60 cm high, I want something that fills that space and grows to about the same height. Even a small fruit tree might suit.

Kumquat.

Done. They happened to have some in the place where lowest prices are just the beginning. Was very tempted by the dwarf lemon tree, but I rarely suck on lemons.

I’d eat one…but the options of nothing, hallucination or death, seems a bit extreme for identification purposes.

I think morrie’s system was to have the tiniest bit one day and incrementally make it larger each day, if no ill effects were felt.

The workers of Camden park usually had their own lemon trees near their cottages/huts because lemon was thought to treat everything from inflammation to acid stomach to strengthening the blood.

I used an old belt and shiny side down. The shiny side was glued to the wheel. The rough side take up the polishing compound better.

She has been that way always. That is why she is blocked from my life.

Yep, I removed her blathering angriness.

And when I blocked her she sent me a message about how she wished I would unblock her and how she had always been supportive of me and enjoyed seeing my art work. I don’t remember her ever being supportive of me. Or my art work.

I remember there were odd times in SSSF chat where I was like…wait..what? with her posts.

She is a far more brutal right wing weirdo on Facebook.

Good morning Holidayers. Did the circuit of town on the pushbike this morning. It’s only 3.5km. My legs are not bike fit. Never mind. I got up the hill, with a bit of puffing. Then had breakfast at the cafe after picking a big bunch of roses. The cafe got some roses, including the ones with good perfume. As they warm up they will add to the ambience there.

Now got some more veggie garden weeding to do.

Well, not all that directly, but i think you’d agree it’s a good example of apiaristic philosophical reflection, and that parallels can be drawn:

Half a bee, philosophically
Must, ipso facto, half not be
But half the bee has got to be
A vis-a-vis its entity, you see?

But can a bee be said to be
Or not to be an entire bee
When half the bee is not a bee
Due to some ancient injury?

I was just looking at weather forecasts, and the story of the poor chap who died from heat exposure in WA (only 27, that’s really sad).

We see a lot of places on the 9 Life channel’s ‘home’ shows that Mrs S likes, where people in north America, Europe, the UK etc., have to basically hide in their houses all winter because of the weather.

And we’re sort of the reverse – in large parts of this country, we have to seek shelter whenever possible throughout the summer.

Not that I noticed. I chose the least fingernail-damaged ones and cut off those bits, but most of the zucchinis in the shop were badly clawed. Probably why they were on special.

Zuccs are out of season. I posit that those ones have been in storage for some time. Or have come from over the seas.

Yes. And it is isn’t just that it has musical numbers. It has a cast of iconic musos. And at the time it was the most expensive car chase of all time.

Republican candidate’s children urge people not to vote for their father

A Republican candidate in Missouri suffered a blow as election day approached, losing the backing of two key supporters: his son and daughter.

“I can’t imagine him being in any level of government,” Emily West told the Kansas City Star this week about her father, Steve West, who is running for the state general assembly in the 15th district.

She added: “A lot of his views are just very out there. He’s made multiple comments that are racist and homophobic and how he doesn’t like the Jews.”

Her brother, Andy West, told the same paper: “My dad’s a fanatic. He must be stopped. His ideology is pure hatred. It’s totally insane.”

Former Hobart Lord Mayor Ron Christie says he is going “to do a Turnbull and disappear” after first losing the lord mayorship and then losing his seat on the council.

Counting in local government elections across the state was finalised last night, and the message seems to be “out with the old in with the new”, with leadership shakeups in several municipalities.

Mr Christie narrowly missed out on a spot on council, defeated by former deputy mayor Peter Sexton by about 50 votes.

I haven’t watched it in years. My old housemate had it on DVD but we used to just skip the beginning bit and go to the car chase scene. Also did the same with Gone in 60 Seconds (the original 1970s version), that had a great car chase too.

The NT seems to have misappropriated a lot of money put aside for aboriginal affairs. Tas has done the same to the health budget.

1. A highland herd is called ‘a fold.’

2. He should have unloaded and drenched and kept coos apart from the others for a few days and let them get to know each other through the fence. That way the coos would have got used toeach other slowly and the new coos would have shitted any drench bits into one area of farm.

I had a Freesian called Sally once. I named her after my ex husband’s ex girlfriend. The cow was a bitch. Not the ex girlfriend. Ex husband went back to ex girlfriend and they have been happy for years.

This is interesting. I knew in general about food adulteration in that period, but not about this experiment.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-11-04/harvey-wiley-us-chemist-who-fought-to-ban-poison-from-food/10427832

Very interesting article.

> As the industrial revolution was applied to food processing, manufacturers rushed to embrace the rise of industrial chemistry and were knowingly selling harmful products.

Look back, pond water, pureed calf brains, brick dust, sawdust, crushed insects. Nothing to do with “industrial chemistry”.

> salicylic acid and borax

The experiment fed people aspirin? That was the adultarant they tested? And borax, Google says: “In sum, borax is wholly natural and has no inherently toxic ingredients. It doesn’t cause cancer, accumulate in the body or in nature, or absorb through the skin. Because the dose makes the poison, borax is not harmful to the body or the environment with normal, external usage any more than salt or baking soda is.”

It’s a long story, but it involves being in contact with John Landis for a few years (about 5 or 6, IIRC,) then him inviting me to go and be in the movie.

Now, now, let’s not jump to hasty conclusions. Just because the fucking thing doesn’t start, and when it does it cannot move, or if it does the wheels fall off, there’s no need to be slagging it off.

hydraulic power steering. No direct linkages. The steering wheel column goes into a box behind the dashboard and hydraulic pipes run from there. It appears that ALL the hydraulics (including steering) run of the same hydraulic system. Nothing has leaked out.

There are steering rod, but they join up to a box in the middle of the front axle via a lever mechanism that appears to go inside the box that has the two hydraulic pipes that run into it. Sorta like the rear TPL “lift” lever mechanism.

I’ll top up the hydraulic fluid in the overflow/expansion tank behind the seat. It’s empty. But the Tractor Man tells me it should be empty.

hydraulic power steering. No direct linkages. The steering wheel column goes into a box behind the dashboard and hydraulic pipes run from there. It appears that ALL the hydraulics (including steering) run of the same hydraulic system. Nothing has leaked out.

So there’s a couple of hydraulic rams at the front axle?

There are steering rod, but they join up to a box in the middle of the front axle via a lever mechanism that appears to go inside the box that has the two hydraulic pipes that run into it. Sorta like the rear TPL “lift” lever mechanism.

OK.

Is your hydraulic reservoir tank full to the appropriate mark?

The son of rocker Angry Anderson has been killed in a violent and bloody attack on Sydney’s northern beaches that may have lasted as long as half an hour.

It took several officers and the use of pepper spray to restrain a man police say they found forcefully beating 26-year-old Liam Anderson early on Sunday morning.

An emergency services helicopter arrived at the scene to transport Mr Anderson to hospital, but he died as it was taking off, police said.

I’ll top up the hydraulic fluid in the overflow/expansion tank behind the seat. It’s empty. But the Tractor Man tells me it should be empty.

Your owners manual should enlighten you about how full any reservoir should be.

If it is an overflow, then topping it up could be disastrous. I’d give it back to the people who sold it and ask for your money back. Under Aussie consumer laws, the product needs to be fit for the purpose.

I read the comments on the Mercury’s(Murdoch) (subscriber only) post and they seemed to be by people being angry about women being angry about men’s violence.

The reservoir tank is behind the seat. There is no mark. I originally questioned Mr Tractor Man about that when I got it. He tells me it should be empty. Have put 3 litres of the correct hydraulic fluid in it. Nup. No diff.

It seems to me that the idea of a “hottest part of hell” contradicts the whole concept of hell, as propounded by religious nutters. If there’s a hottest part of hell, there must be a cooler part, so there must be a temperature difference, and any engineer worth the name could use that difference to build a heat pump to make his particular corner of hell cool and comfortable.

Nah, looks only about 2/3 full. Mind you, there’s lots of bars all round the ground inside where you can stand and watch the game from inside in the shade.

Maybe about 40K there.

Turn the steering wheel to steer it outa the garage and nothing. Lock to lock and nothing. The front wheels don’t fucking move.

FIGJAM. Figgzed dit.

It appears the hydraulics of the rear TPL lifter and power steering are one and the same. Hydro-static steering. They are both filled from and brass tank behind the radiator. Looked in tank and wadda ya know. Was well below the little dipstick thingy thing. Topped up with correct…. yes I did check…. correct hydraulic fluid and Bob’s now me uncle and Fanny’s me aunt.

Yes but why was the level down? You have hardly used it.

Yeah I’d imagine, the house is only 100 years old circa 1918 so I doubt it’d be heritage listed.

There are steering rod, but they join up to a box in the middle of the front axle via a lever mechanism that appears to go inside the box that has the two hydraulic pipes that run into it. Sorta like the rear TPL “lift” lever mechanism.

OK.

Is your hydraulic reservoir tank full to the appropriate mark?

The reservoir tank is behind the seat. There is no mark. I originally questioned Mr Tractor Man about that when I got it. He tells me it should be empty. Have put 3 litres of the correct hydraulic fluid in it. Nup. No diff.

Bummer.

Hmm, I seem to have a dozen types of tomato seedlings on the go. I’ve had a request from one friend for a roma type, so tomorrow I’ll prick out the San Marzano, put aside what I want, and see if I’ve got spares for him. Just working out which to plant with which. I prefer to plant very different ones together so I can see from the different fruit which ones are which. Although looking at this list, only Grosse lisse, Brandy wine, mortgage lifter and rouge de marmande might be difficult to tell apart. The others all have either smaller fruit (Violet jasper, brown berry, tommy toe), or very distinctive fruit: Tigerella, Black Krim, Ananas noir, San marzano, Periforme.

Doesn’t seem to wear the ball much or at least as quickly as other pitches. Didn’t look like a minefield to me, sort of pitch you need to be patient and mark a start, not one where you can just walk out and start smashing boundaries. Bad shot selections and stupid run-out calls can’t be blamed on the pitch.

In news here.

Someone I know just died. Nothing so unusual in that, except she’s the same age as me and is the only person I kept in touch with that I went to Uni with, because we did both undergrad Uni together, and PhDs together at a different University. Her positive approach to life and vivacity kept us apart. I loved her talent for trying out, as food, plants that we don’t normally eat.

In other news here, on of Mrs m’s music students just won $100,000.

I have to say, the ‘scientists say’ thing is from a half remembered news report in recent days which (IIRC) said we have 12 years, 15 tops, before there’s no point in trying, and that governments and industry had better get their fingers out.

2040? Sounds like a chance. Here’s hoping it’s sooner.

A “nanomaggy” is 10-9 times a maggy.

A “maggy” is the flux f of the source relative to the standard source f0 (which defines the zeropoint of the magnitude scale). Therefore, a “nanomaggy” is 10-9 times a maggy. To relate these quantities to standard magnitudes, an object with flux f given in nMgy has a Pogson magnitude:

If your licence expires 1 year before going on the old age pension. (free licence renewal in NSW) That’s why I took 5 years, not 10 years. And I haven’t aged a bit since my last licence 10 years ago. Didn’t need a new pic. Twas fine to use the existing pic they had on file, so they said.

We don’t have a ten year option, and can only renew online if our photo is less than 9 years old. FIIK when my pic was taken.

I’ve just learned that a NSW drivers licence renewal fee for one year is $20 cheaper than Qld, but the five year fee is $13 more expensive. And NSW has a 50% discount for safe drivers.

Why didn’t the 15 assassins just take the dis membered body back with them and throw the bits out when they were in the airplane?

You get into a hell of a lot of trouble if you try and open a door during a flight.

When they are low enough, then throw the bits out.

He had been a rover
He had walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways
But always found a home
Still in all he’s happy
The reason is, you see
Once in a while along the way
Love’s been good to him

There was a girl called Julie
Before the summer storm
There was a dog called Anzac
Who thought the world of him
And they could smile away the thunder
Kiss away the rain
Even though he’s gone away
You won’t hear them complain

If you were really old you’d have no problem with the Jerry Hall one.

Ronan Keating sounds vaguely familiar, but I can’t quite place him.

Or am I thinking of Paul?

I am sure I could get some antibiotics in Snug tomorrow. But that still means organising getting to Snug. And getting to the dentist or the dental clinic at the hospital is harder still. But if I get bad enough for an ambulance that would make it easier.

sm, if you feel like you’re goingt o need an ambulance in a few hours please just call one now and save yourself a shit load of pain.

I am sure I could get some antibiotics in Snug tomorrow. But that still means organising getting to Snug. And getting to the dentist or the dental clinic at the hospital is harder still. But if I get bad enough for an ambulance that would make it easier.

I hate my life.

We both need to get motor cars and learn how to drive them.

Is there someone nearby who can drive you to the hospital tonight if necessary?

I’ll get through the night. But it isn’t going to go away. It is only going to get worse.

My local ambulance service is in this very street, just a short walk up the road. And the local health centre is just around the corner.

The nice old house which forms part of our medical & community centre. The complex itself is much bigger than this and is mostly modern buildings, and includes a small hospital.

and just looked it up in wiki, having NFI what it’s about, my lyrics analyzer seems broken

there ya go.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_Days_in_the_Hole
The song, a Steve Marriott composition, bemoans being arrested for possession of small quantities of illegal drugs, including cocaine; Durban poison, a potent strain of marijuana; and Red Lebanese and Black Nepalese, two types of hashish. “New Castle Brown” is often mistaken as a reference to Newcastle Brown Ale but actually refers to heroin also known as “Brown” or “Smack”. The song refers to Borstal – “some seeds and dust, and you got Borstal”- referring to Borstal Prison and its borstal ilk – any manner of a British juvenile gaol.

I am surprised to find that we have probably had 6 to 8 mm overnight. My rain gauge is neglected. I should clean it out. The dogs would like to go for a walk, but Mr buffy is still abed. I might go and rake over the soil I dug yesterday and put the corn seed in.

I’m thinking I might get started on putting together a dress today. It’s cut out. I should make it so I can wear it over Summer.

Go on..you know you want to:

“Last year I dressed as Leatherface with a working chainsaw and no one was actually scared,” said Kyle Davidson, a thirteen year old from Sacramento. “But when I went to school dressed like a loser with a pillow under my shirt, bags under my eyes, and a truckload of hateful opinions the non white students screamed and ran away.”

“And no matter how much I shouted that blacks, Jews, and Hillary deserve to die, my behaviour was always excused as mental illness.”

One amazing feature of the costume is, no matter how much duct tape you use, the label “terrorist” will not stick to it.

——————————————————————————————————————

It’s Canadian humour. You’ll probably “get” it.

No mowing here today. I’ve cleaned the loungeroom – moved the furniture, swept and vacuumed. I doubt it is up to Bubblecar’s standard, but I’m not a great housework person. I’m happy if it’s reasonably clean. I’ll go and sweep out the dog run now and give it a sluice.

I watched The Problem With Apu on SBS catch-up. It seems that the Indian comedian’s problem with Apu is not that Apu is a stereotype, but that other kids are jerks who tell him, “Thankyou, come again” and perpetuate the stereotype upon him.

I’m no Simpsons expert, but I always thought Apu was a pretty positive stereotype, at least compared with all the other stereotypes in the series.

mr kii continues to get better. Hopefully a sign of good for the future.

Sirens. We’ve heard lots of sirens over the past few weeks.

It’s so reassuring that various armed militias are heading to the southern border to help the National Guard and the US Army with the invading caravans from the south.

I wont click on that link because of the ageist, racist and sexist nature of the wording in the url.
I’m surprised that there are still journalists out there who cling to these old stereotypes.
shakes head

There’s a few stereotypes that are still thought to be acceptable, because ‘they deserve it’.

In this politically correct age, the older, white, straight, male demographic is the only one that may be freely rubbished. But we be tough as nails with balls of steel.. we can take it :)

Yep. One comment described how the troops will be a bit bored, but able to work on their tans………the militia members will probably go around killing random creatures and shooting at bridges.

Your nephew is having a sex change?

I think so. I haven’t seen him for years, but I had a chat with my sister (his mother) earlier this year when she was here. I would have said on what info I have that he was gay. But he’s been dressing female socially for a while now and I just flipped into his Facebook (via his sister’s) this morning and I see that in April he announced he was scheduled for the workup for surgery now. He’s pretty messed up anyway though. As a child his father consistently told him he was useless. Then when he couldn’t decide what he wanted to do careerwise he joined the US army. Very bad move, I think. He was discharged medically before his time was up. I hate to think what happened there if he was unsure of his sexuality. I’d like things to work out for the poor soul.

I also have a niece thinking about becoming a nephew. But she is a lot less convincing to me. She has just turned 18 and I know I’m not supposed to say it, but she does seem to be rather “look at me!” about it. It just feels faddish in her case. My nephew, on the other hand, is just turning 28 and I feel much more comfortable with his situation. While feeling sad about the mental health aspects he has to endure too.

I don’t ‘like’ them, because of what they’re used for, and the appalling damage that they do.

If more people who ‘like’ guns got to see a gunshot wound in its first moments, there’d be a lot less people who ‘like’ guns.

That said, i find them fascinating in some ways.

Part of my working life revolved around guns of various sizes and purposes, the care and use, and the engineering never ceased to amaze me.

So many complicated things happen in tiny amounts of time, in such tiny spaces, with such fine tolerances, at such pressures and temperatures, in such reliable and endlessly repeatable ways…maybe it has some parallels with watchmaking? Apart from the pressures and temperatures, perhaps.

Same. A few months back we cleaned up and packed up the family heirloom guns that mr kii wanted a nephew to have. Some magnificent pieces of equipment. Suddenly I was very nervous about not having them in the gun safe. So mr kii bought a modern one – for home defense. That’s how insane this country is.

What? You became concerned because there were no longer any weapons to hand in the house, so mr kii went out and bought a new weapon?

A gay lady friend told me, what, thirty-something years back, that she always took claims from women in late-teens, early-twenties that they were gay with a grain of salt. She said so many of them think it’s all like My Little Pony-land or something (or ‘all sex swings and dildoes’ maybe, as comedian Susan Calman put it), and they discover it’s not what they want, and they get all broken up, and then you’ve got to be a counsellor, and steer them onto the right path for them…

Too much risk, basically.

I have known people who I’m sure were gay from their teens. One of my sister’s schoolfriends was gay. There was no doubt. He had a lot of female friends but the boys didn’t like him so much. Fortunately for him he is strong of character. He was the brother of one of my high school friends. I never doubted that A was gay, even though I knew a lot less then than I do now. My niece, on the other hand…. I did actually ask Mr buffy recently. Before we moved here, he did a lot of ambulance work in St Kilda, knew the girls and the “girls”. He’s had quite a lot of experience at not judging. He thinks she is probably not what she is trying to be.

The problem is that sex change is sort of like joining the Mafia or the IRA. Once you’ve gone through the process, it’s bloody near impossible to get out of.

Sarah in grade 7-10 was in a group of 3 girls and one gay guy. Ends up that she felt the odd one out because the others were so bright and geeky.

I’m not suggesting for a moment that everyone who claims to be gay from a comparatively early age is deluded.

Far from it. I, too, know of people who were patently gay from about 14 – 15 onwards, and, cliched as it is, some were friends of mine. (Where are you these days, Danny? Probably somewhere very nice.)

Some people know for sure, right from the off. Others can easily think that they’re one way, and find out that they’re the other. Seen that happen, and the person most surprised is sometimes the ‘protagonist’ themselves.

The Navy is, in some traditional way, supposed to be the gay service, but in reality it has about the same ratio of ‘denominations’ as society in general. You live closely with people, and their preference can quickly become known to most if not all. I don’t know about these days, with females at sea, but in the days of only males, i never saw sexuality cause problems. People did their jobs, socialised in the mess, they ate with you in the caff, slept in the bunk above or below or 75 cm across the passageway from you, and that was it. What you did ashore, and who with, that was your business.

I saw in the news yesterday about the US midterms a bizzo on the women going for nominations, one of them was actually a transgender man. Not sure that should be included in an article about potential female politicans but I guess that’s the way things have to be reported.

I’m not suggesting for a moment that everyone who claims to be gay from a comparatively early age is deluded.

Far from it. I, too, know of people who were patently gay from about 14 – 15 onwards, and, cliched as it is, some were friends of mine. (Where are you these days, Danny? Probably somewhere very nice.)

Some people know for sure, right from the off. Others can easily think that they’re one way, and find out that they’re the other. Seen that happen, and the person most surprised is sometimes the ‘protagonist’ themselves.

The Navy is, in some traditional way, supposed to be the gay service, but in reality it has about the same ratio of ‘denominations’ as society in general. You live closely with people, and their preference can quickly become known to most if not all. I don’t know about these days, with females at sea, but in the days of only males, i never saw sexuality cause problems. People did their jobs, socialised in the mess, they ate with you in the caff, slept in the bunk above or below or 75 cm across the passageway from you, and that was it. What you did ashore, and who with, that was your business.

They say the Navy makes men. I’m living proof – they made ME!

They said I was a tom boy from pre preschool. I have always identified as being female but never as feminine.

I don’t see what is hard in it being a sliding scale.

I think it is interesting that when my mother had me she was also carrying bits of my two brothers that she had before me. It’s that stuff where it all lies IMO.

Concur.

I don’t think of myself as a ‘veteran’. I never got shot at while i was in an ADF uniform (afterwards, that’s another story, but not relevant).

But, i think it was a soppy idea, and more likely to embarrass ex-service people than make them feel good. I wouldn’t have put my hand up for it.

You want to do something for ex-service people? Have the planes depart and arrive on time, and keep the bloody things properly maintained. Then everybody benefits.

The other problem with the Virgin idea is that it says ‘these are the ex-service people aboard’.

Unlikely as it is, potential hijackers then have an idea of who among he passengers might be inclined to take action against them, and which people they’d see as legitimate sacrifices.

That’s why, way back, we were instructed to never fly in uniform, civvy clothes only.

Like i say, the chances of it being relevant are staggeringly small, especially in Australia, but it’s not an entirely unwise idea, by any means. One of those things that, when it’s told to you, you say, oh yeah, worth keeping in mind.

I’m planning on trying a recipe from my “Vietnamese Bible” cookbook tonight. It involves chicken thigh fillets, onion, capsicum, garlic, mushrooms,chilli, oyster sauce, fish sauce and pineapple pieces. It’s called Stir fried chicken, pineapple and peppers. Someone was feeling particularly creative the day they named that. Apparently the Vietnamese name is Ga xao dua xanh. But I don’t know how accurate the translation of the name is.

Anyway, it says 2 tablespoons each of oyster sauce and fish sauce. Previously when I’ve done recipes from this book, the fish sauce in particular is much too salty for our taste. Opinions please (I think MV might be the best one to know this) – if I just use tspoons of each, will it lack too much taste? And my bottle of oyster sauce is old and has not been refrigerated since opening. Does this matter? Will I poison us with it?

Buffy, a few days ago I woke with gunk on the surface of my right eye. Nothing unusual about that; it hung around all day, but was gone yesterday. There was also what appeared to be a new floater, but it’s got very sharp edges. I looks to be about the size of a pin head, and there’s absolutely no vision information in the middle (it looks completely black). It moves like a floater, but is more obvious. It’s still there after several days.

Any idea what it might be? Should I consult an ophthalmologist?

I’m planning on trying a recipe from my “Vietnamese Bible” cookbook tonight. It involves chicken thigh fillets, onion, capsicum, garlic, mushrooms,chilli, oyster sauce, fish sauce and pineapple pieces. It’s called Stir fried chicken, pineapple and peppers. Someone was feeling particularly creative the day they named that. Apparently the Vietnamese name is Ga xao dua xanh. But I don’t know how accurate the translation of the name is.

Anyway, it says 2 tablespoons each of oyster sauce and fish sauce. Previously when I’ve done recipes from this book, the fish sauce in particular is much too salty for our taste. Opinions please (I think MV might be the best one to know this) – if I just use tspoons of each, will it lack too much taste? And my bottle of oyster sauce is old and has not been refrigerated since opening. Does this matter? Will I poison us with it?

I put fish sauce in at the end, as a condiment – for small, taste and salt (the smell evaporates quite quickly form hot food). I use it to taste. Actually, I use all spices to taste.

The oyster sauce: I always refrigerate this after opening. It’s moderately sweet and salty, and not particularly acidic. I doubt it would survive long at room temperature. The bottle should say “refrigerate after opening” if that’s required.

My chances of getting to Stumpy’s funeral are not looking promising.
The logistics are a bit daunting, the parlour is 26k from the airport and I don’t want to overnight.
However I’ve been known to do some strange things on impulse.

Buffy, a few days ago I woke with gunk on the surface of my right eye. Nothing unusual about that; it hung around all day, but was gone yesterday. There was also what appeared to be a new floater, but it’s got very sharp edges. I looks to be about the size of a pin head, and there’s absolutely no vision information in the middle (it looks completely black). It moves like a floater, but is more obvious. It’s still there after several days.

Any idea what it might be? Should I consult an ophthalmologist?

You should get someone to look at it. If you have a regular ophthalmologist, phone their rooms, explain and I reckon they should fit you in. Or see your optometrist. We are trained to be the GP, ie, sift the important from the non important phenomena. If it is a floater it must be very close to the retinal surface to cast a sharp shadow. They do tend to start there and then drift further forward in they eye. Then the edges are blurred because the blob/floater making the shadow is further from the surface (is that making sense?) You only see the shadow of the blob that we can see floating in the vitreous gel. Whatever, I prefer people to tell me and let me look. In most cases it is just another floater. But you don’t want to miss the one that is not. For the sake of getting someone to have a look in there. Because you can’t look for yourself.

Yes, it does say that. But, of course, I didn’t read that, did I. I don’t refrigerate soy sauce (of any type) and we don’t refrigerate commercial tomato sauce (nor my own, until it is opened). And apparently you are supposed to refrigerate Vegemite! Hang on, I checked….that has been changed to “a cool dry place”. I’m sure I argued with my brother years ago on that one and had to concede.

Agree with buffy there. See someone immediately, if it isn’t a floater then they can fix it and ensure that it doesn’t get any worse.

FFS! * Dear Parents,

Please find attached a letter from the Public Health Unit in relation to the recent outbreak of Whooping Cough in the local area.

As yet, we are very happy to report that there have been NO cases at our centre, and we are hoping that it stays that way. However, a local primary school has had 18 reported cases and we do have children who have siblings attend the school.

Of course, we will keep you up to date with any information that we receive, and you will be informed if we have any cases within our centre.

Kind Regards,
Director

I bought and installed a new roller blind.

It is operated by a continuous “chain”, comprising woven cord (a bit like brickies line) with a plastic ball on it every centimetre-or-so. It is way too long.

Any recommendations about how I might shorten and rejoin it?

Bump. There doesn’t seem to be a joiner. I’ve checked several times and Mrs V has had a look, too.

Any recommendations?

Figure the amount of chain you need to put it up and down then tie a knot in the chain left over.

Nah fair dinkum. Dealing with the government has never been simpler. Click, type, done. No waiting on hold or standing in line.

I went round in circles trying to find Medicare advice for child dental benefits. Gave up using myGov and googled it.

Identity-matching Services BILL 2018

1.  The Identity-matching Services Bill 2018 (the Bill) will facilitate the secure, automated and accountable exchange of identity information between the Commonwealth and state and territory governments, pursuant to the objectives of the Intergovernmental Agreement on Identity Matching.

4.    Driver licence images will be made available by the establishment of a National Driver Licence Facial Recognition Solution (NDLFRS), hosted by the Commonwealth on behalf of the states and territories in accordance with the IGA. The NDLFRS will consist of a federated database of identification information contained in government identification documents (initially driver licences) issued by state and territory authorities, and a facial recognition system for biometric comparison of facial images against facial images in the database.

What could possibly go wrong?

OK, I’m going to have to reference to something posted earlir today:

Now according to the ABC news report, “It travelled 92 kilometres in about 25 minutes, until it was derailed at a set of points about 120 kilometres from Port Hedland.”

So I’ll assume that the velocity was constant and ignore the time taken to get up to speed.

This train was travelling at 220 kilometres per hour, how fucking fast do you want them to go?

I tried that. Space is limited (blind is in the window recess). The knot catches on the blind. Thanks anyway.

Yes but if that train left Port Hedland at 2.20pm and train B is heading towards Port Hedland and will arrive at 5.10pm, what time will they pass each other? 🤔

I’ve been on a train that nearly derailed in a heat buckle. Was damn scary. Doesn’t happen these days of course with modern new rails, but this was in the 1980s.

Bad day at work

Hello, Capt Yesterday.

We’ve already been discussing the shit reporting.

…and just looking they’ve fixed it up. Now 90 kilometres in about 50 minutes.

Deevs, the original report had the train traveling at at least 220 km/hr .

What’s a locomotive weigh, 60 tonnes? How much a wagon, say 30 tonnes, how big a hole does 8200 tonnes make at 220 kmh? Or how far would it slide.

Rio Tinto iron ore train consist of up to 236 wagons, each having a load capacity of up to 106 tonnes. Trains are up to 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi) long and, fully loaded, weigh approximately 29,500 tonnes. The trains have an average cycle time of 28 hours.

I was going to make a post about the kinetic energy involved (e = 1/2 mv2 for those playing along at home) and wasn’t sure that I could be within an order of magnitude with the weight of the train. :)

I think you need to run the computer out under a big tree with a long extension cord and make sure your clothes are soaking wet to stand a chance…

We have very black humour in this house. Ambulance wives can swap the jokes, but we have to be careful outside The Circle. Non ambulance households don’t necessarily think it’s funny.

This paper is interesting.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1811.00023

Given that a high proportion of the Solar system’s Oort cloud is lost into outer space (25% to 65%) with more lost into outer space when the Sun loses mass to become a red giant. Given that Oort Clouds around other solar systems must also be losing objects into outer space, why is Oumuamua the only interstellar object so far observed?

The paper begins to address this question. It also notes the discrepancy that no-one can explain how the solar system got its Oort Cloud in the first place, mathematical models give an Oort Cloud density that is too small by about a factor of ten.

They would be so stupid to go ‘independent’. They’d just be another tinpot Oceana nation, with its hand out, and end up being another purchase for the Chinese government proxies.

without wanting to jinx next years tour I am happy to report that I have not needed the services of the nursing station yet. But also, I don’t do anything silly like bike riding, or any exercise (apart from dancing)

Is overnighting on Rotto allowed all the time or is it a special event?

Not sure what the rulez are today, but it used to be you could only stay overnight on the isalnd if you had accommodation booked, you couldn’t just sleep it off on the beach.

I don’t think sleeping it off on the beach is an option even more today

No, Just no, there is no such word. Yo made that up.

yo, I didn’t.. it’s a perfectly cromulent word.

No, it is not.

you don’t want to read the wiki entry on it then…

Glamping is a portmanteau of glamorous and camping and describes a style of camping with amenities and, in some cases, resort-style services not usually associated with “traditional” camping. Wikipedia

In other news, new Caledonia has voted to remain French, for now. But by a smaller than expected margin.

They would be so stupid to go ‘independent’. They’d just be another tinpot Oceana nation, with its hand out, and end up being another purchase for the Chinese government proxies.

Yeah, fuck the Chinese off. We don’t want them building airports and harbours this close to us.

I wonder how much France would want for it?

I don’t think some people would believe that I was nice to Boris for 40 days in a row last year. Philistines, I know, but they may hunt around for evidence, and there’s a chance, slight, but there, that they may find an instance where it could, perchance, be construed that I was less than kind.

Very good point, Admiral. He’s obviously being coached by some marketing wanker into doing this. The way of the world unfortunately, but everybody gets a vote. Morrison is an idiot and Tony Burke is just as bad.

Oh well.

It’s a lovely morning with a slight rising anxiety. Radio is off, dryer is on. Cleaning washing machine after washing dog blankies etc. Tidied up the kitchen table. My husband’s filing system now includes the top of Grace’s huge crate. He’s at the ENT for a follow up from the cochlear implant assessment. mr kii is almost back to his former self…the ADHD elementary school kid.

Good morning Holidayers. We have eleven degrees and overcast. There has been a little more precipitation. I’ll look at the gauge later. I cleaned it out yesterday.

About to put the oven on and start making biscuits.

Oh, FFS. That’s just garbage. That’s some of the crappiest, lowest, political point scoring I’ve ever seen. That’s Trump worthy. It’s shit and Tony Burke is an idiot.

Well it is political point scoring, no doubt about it.

OTOH, if it’s amongst the crappiest, lowest, political point scoring you’ve ever seen, I can only conclude that you have spent your entire life up to today with an extraordinary level of protection against exposure to political point scoring.

The brightness of the tip of the red giant branch is set by the luminosity of the helium core flash. I’ve been concerned for several years that astronomers have never observed a helium core flash, but apparently they have, it’s just slower than I had been led to believe.

I’m back. First two batches of biscuits done and dusted. Decorated jam biscuits and Mailanderli. The latter I had not made before. Five egg yolks! And eggy wash on top. They do actually look quite like the ones in the recipe book. I think it could take a little less sugar and a bit more lemon next time. But my general rule is to follow the recipe the first time. And Aaron Maree rarely lets me down with his recipes.

Staring at cupboards or bath tubs.

The mice are in the house and outside, where I found the dead baby one. We’ve caught two in traps and found one dead behind a cupboard – strangled by cat fluff and dog fur. Add this baby one and we have 4.

Mrs S said that he looked terribly sad afterwards, and moped for a considerable time.

A killer. A verified killer.

When I was a kid we had a lab called Nigel. When you would say ‘rats’ Nigel would go running around sniffing the ground on high alert. One day my Dad was turning the compost heap and he overturned a rat. ‘Rats’ he said to Nigel. Nigel lunged forward, saw the rat, and turned and ran toward the back door.

Yes. My childhood dog was black and white – kelpie/lab/dalmatian mix.

Dunno. Came from the RSPCA shelter. He’d been a street-roaming stray.

This one was Digby.

He caught it, too. Pushed it under, looked around, and went for another one.

Please note he still has his lead on. Mr buffy thought discretion was the better part of valour and let go when Digby jumped.

Since July, these parents – overwhelmingly single women – must meet a fortnightly participation plan negotiated with a case worker, known as their ParentsNext provider. If they don’t, their parenting payment – $384.25 for a single person – can be suspended or terminated.

Parents say they have been forced by their providers to attend activities such as “story time”, swimming lessons or playgroup, or told to sign up to education courses at their own expense, even if they already hold qualifications.

“I’m in financial insecurity on a fortnight-to-fortnight basis now,” said Phoebe, a 37-year-old single mother of two who already holds a certificate four in accounting.

“If my kids don’t want to go to playgroup, what do I do? Lie?

“We’re not stupid. We do know how to manage our own lives. I don’t think should be devalued. I feel like there’s a real sexist element to it, that you’re doing nothing on the public purse.”

In Chia’s case, a glitch with the MyGov website meant she could not mark down her university study – which she did from home.

Fearing losing her payments, she took the decision to wind back to one subject this semester to focus on complying with the program by getting “job ready”.

“The plan was to do as much study as I can manage, as many classes as I can,” she said. “I was starting each semester with three. If it was too much for the little ones, I dropped to two.

“At that rate, I was going to be done by spring next year. Now, it’s going to take me two or three years.”

I suspect the photographer was very pleased with himself for being in the right place at the right time. We were doing a hook turn in the middle of Melbourne CBD with a trailer on. The photographer must have been standing at a tramstop to get that angle. Very quick thinking to get out a camera and take the photo. It was well before mobile phones were around.

Nor me.

Used to go to mid-week races many years ago, but that was mainly lunch and drinks. No idea of racing form – i’d bet on horses that i liked the name of, or because the jockey’s silks looked good, or whatever. Got a few long-shots that way.

My experience of horses: shovel in feed at one end, clean up at the other, and spend money on all the bits in between.

I forgot the race was on so I didn’t watch it, and I have no idea what the horse’s name is.

In other news – one of the dogs killed a baby mouse. I’m thinking it was Grace. She look like the type of dog to kill baby mice.

What are the cats doing while mice run riot?

The Barely-Domesticated Wolf was playing with a small field mouse in the backyard one day, when he either accidentally killed it, or it died of fright.

Hehe – reminds me od Old Joe Biekle-whatisname from QLD, but in reverse.

He turned up in Perth for the annual Premiers’ conference a few days before the finals race started, and the media asked him for his tip, He replied rather irritated that he was not here for the Melbourne Cup.

Anyway, I can report that I did not lose a single cent on the race today.

+1

Although I did gain $20. We have a family sweep each year and I had a call about 15mins ago to say I managed to pick the winning horse. I forgot the race was on so I didn’t watch it, and I have no idea what the horse’s name is. On the news the other night I saw someone pick up a ball out of a hat that had the number 23 on it so I just went with that.

Cup? What Cup?
The America’s Cup isn’t being sailed atm.

The Americas Cup went to pot when they abandoned the 12 metre specifications.

Yeah, but they were found to be invalid through a court challenge. After that it got a bit silly, I agree.

Well, they needed something so the boats were all of the same formula, then it would be up to the skill of the designers and builders, and the crews and skippers on the day. A bit like motor racing.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone here had experience building their own mini CNC machine at home?

I’m working now doing tech support for the software part of cabinetmaking/design, and it includes the software that creates the g-code/.nc files for sending to the CNC. I don’t have an extra few thousand dollars laying around but I see it’s possible to make a CNC at home pretty cheap using Arduino or something similar, and just wondering if anyone’s had experience with it.

I haven’t. IIRC, Boris has built a 3D printer, and the principles are supposed to be similar.

I look forward to the day that the Americas Cup is decided by a race between two blokes each sailing a fibreglass bath-tub using plastic raincoats hoisted on broomsticks as sails, while wearing compulsory Groucho glasses-and-mo.

As soon as the NY Yacht Club lost the trophy they’d never been beaten for, it became just another boat race.

You could start one. But it’s a matter or building up the prestige and gravitas of the event over time, so be patient.

1 x whole baked zucchini.

I cooked a big plate of hickory smoked streaky bacon. Was a shopping fail and it was going out of date, it’s better as crispy and I might make a dip out of it. Reason it was a fail is that the hickory smoke gave a slightly dodgy flavour which I am not that keen on it turns out, also, I found out that streaky bacon is just the dag ends of an ordinary bit of bacon. I thought it was something special. To me it’s off cuts and they call it streaky and charge a premium.

Champion horses might only run 3-4 times a year so quarantine time is not much of an issue.

It is if you are paying for it.

The actual cost of the quarantine? I don’t imagine it is very much.

one of the prizes is sire rates increase?

Might be and I thought of that, are the over seas ones stallions though? I am sure they also send geldings and fillys.

About $4 million forst, second million for second, and lesser amounts down to about 10th or 12th.

Well it wouldn’t be free, but it’s not just that though, it’s a return ticket for a horse and you have to keep its strapped and trainer in accomodation and food. You also have to feed the horse though you would have to do that anyway.

Just seems to me not a good equation, but it is obviously done so I am curious what I am missing.

Ahh ok, so maybe 12 to 8 is break even and publicity for stables as well. That’s working for me.

The owners are usually wealthy individuals in the first place, not really in it for the money but the bragging rights. It was some oil sheik that owned today’s winner. Spending huge amounts of money to win trophies.

This is embarrassing. I was embarrassed by John Howard. The cringe got almost unbearable with Tony Abbott. I didn’t know I could get more embarrassed, but it seems I can.

Na. Abbott wins the cringe.

I would love to see some honest pollies that earnestly liked the people of this country and who wished them well. Some dreams that we could all be part of that were also taking us all somewhere.

Some hope for equality. More people struggling and more people homeless and more people hungry is no record to be proud of.

The Liberal parties talent pool is shallow. But then so is the Labor parties talent pool. And there are the nutters now too. I know some of you people think the Greens are nutters but for the most part they can string a sentence together and have a dream. But the way they are voting I am feeling down on them too. (What was de Natale talking about when he said he would consider coalition with the Libs?)

I used to get similar packs but prefer deli now, I get what I need, no farting about with freezing, price is comparable mostly, and it fried better, not as wet.

If you didn’t vote for them why should it embarrass you?

Because they were representing me. Presenting to the world that they were Australia. It was very, very cringeworthy.

I imagine you just use an orange instead of a lemon. My Hollandaise is very basic. An egg. Whisk in lemon juice and microwave in 10 second increments a couple of times, whisking in between. First it will froth a bit, then it thickens. At that point whack in a big dollop of butter and whisk it all together.

As a country road driver I have slowed down and paced behind cyclists at times when it is simply too dangerous to cross the middle line. Scares the shit out of the cyclist to have a car pacing behind them.

I looked at that earlier. The smaller car that he whinged about is certainly well across the road. I’m not sure what else it was supposed to do.

No, that was an ok overtake i thought.

I used to ride a cycle around up near Bundaberg, and i wouldn’t have complained about that one. There’s only so much road width.

Some of the others were rather dodgy, and seemed to be careless.

Sometimes it’s not much better for motorcyclists.

I rode a smallish m/bike to and from work, along a straight but undulating road that included a 100 kmh stretch.

More than once i’d be doing 100 kmh, and some car (often a 4WD) would zoom up and sit two metres behind my back wheel.

Nudge it up to 105, and they’d often still be there. I mean, whaddaya want? If i go to 110 it’ll save you about 11 seconds trip time over the 100 kmh stretch.

There was one lady, drove a Toyota Corona wagon. If i saw her coming up behind me, or even in traffic ahead of me, i’d stop, count to 30, and then continue.

She was just an accident looking for somewhere to happen.

Nope. Permitted in Qld when vision is clear and overtaking a cyclist. Must give >1 m clearance up to 60 km/h and >1.5 m clearance at >60 km/h.

He was whinging about the last ute that was illegally and dangerously close. The others he was indicating (poorly IMHO) were OK.

Biiig no-no to cross double solids here in Victoria. Generally they are only there when you can’t see because of a crest or hollow. Which, of course, is why they are there.

It’s a fairly recent law change in Qld, to encourage motorists to leave plenty of room for cyclists. Previously motorists were keeping left of the unbroken centre line and missing the cyclist by > < that much whilst overtaking. Which is what the last ute was trying to do, I think.

So what is your solution to cylists travelling well under the speed limit on dangerous parts of the highway where passing is dangerous? Seems an impossible situation unless the car sits behind the cyclist. And remember we have B doubles on our highway here, loaded with logs, sheep or cattle. My personal solution is not to use the highway and do my riding on side roads.

If you want to ride on a highway or major traffic artery, don’t expect it to be like a quiet suburban street.

Or I ride early on a Sunday morning when there are fewer trucks. And I stay left of the fog line wherever possible. Which then becomes a problem because we also have enormous potholes where the road has subsided from the weight of the laden trucks. I have popped a bike tyre on a pothole once.

It was alwaays the same. single file as far off to the left as you can get and think of your own safeety, take the bike offroad if that seems safer. The rule always was two abreast and single file while cars were passing. Npw it seems that there is a pellaton on any old road in the middle of a blind corner.

I ride more or less daily, just got back from a ride as it happens. I’m lucky enough to live in an area that has lots of cycle paths or dual use cycle/pedestrian paths. I hate riding on the main road mixing in with the traffic and avoid it wherever I can. My usual route requires crossing a busy road twice, but not riding along it. There is a stretch where the cycle path follows on one side of the road and switches to the other, and then back, requiring the crossings. Rather annoying to me, but I guess I should be counting my blessings having the paths at all.

There is a cycle path half of the distance to town. Out in the country it is a narrow and rather dodgy road where people tend to drive above the speed limit with some s bends that the cycle groups always seem to be in when I’m driving to or from work.

Connected the red lead to the live wire for the dimmer switch for the the instrument panel light.

Connected the black lead to the earth for the door light switch. It doesn’t earth unless the door is opened, turning on the interior light.

Now, if i open the door with headlights or parking lights on, the buzzer goes off.

It’s saved me many times.

Good trick.

Does the horse get disqualified from winning second?

seems strange. My car has some sort of kill switch so when I have turned the engine off the lights (if I have left them on accidentally) also switch off… I suspect that’s after a few minutes, but not long enough to dent the battery

Well yours is more modern than mine. Mine is a 2003 model Triton.

probably.. it’s not a bad feature that has saved me a few times.

Runaway train speed has been revised down to 110 km/h.

Anyways, I thought these things were supposed to have a dead man’s switch…

There would be complaints if he didn’t use the whip. So there is obviously a place of the correct amount of whipping.

Had something like that happen. Take everything into the dealers to sort out.

Currently I’ve got some intermittent glitch which resuits in the lights/flickers cutting power to the sound system.. occasionally the windows do it and a couple of times the ignition has cut out.

Electronics. Weakest links are the switches.

Anyway, it is weird. It isn’t the radio that is locked. It is the feature where the remotes can lock or unlock the car. It came to my attention because the car normally keeps the interior light on for a time after shutting the door then goes off and even blinked if you pressed the remote. The even weirder thing is that while the battery was flat, the remotes worked even though the car wouldn’t start. After driving it home the interior light stayed on, threatening to run the battery flat if I hadn’t gone back out to the car to bring the carton of coopers in.

So hang on, I’d better check all the doors to make sure nothing is caught in one. That may be what is the problem.

I have told this story before. The headlights on my RX7 popped up and wouldn’t go down, jiggled the switch which was all I could do and lived with it till I took it to an autoelectrician. He had it all day and when I picked it up he was frustrated but also amused. He had spent hours trying to find a short and traced it ultimately to a switch that was just behind the gear stick. The switch was tiny, never used it before, apparently it was used so you could pop up the headlights and they would stay up without the lights or power being on so you could wash them.

How we laughed. …but I cried a bit at the bill.

Yeah I get that, but why bother take the equipment to fill up carriages when they have shedloads anyway and b, the work of filing the carriages would probably delay several shipments of easily got ore.

Waste disposal companies have experienced the impact of this rise. Last winter, Veolia recorded 32 reports of people found inside their bins in the UK, up from 26 the year before. Biffa, which often operates larger commercial containers, discovered 175 people in its bins in 2016, and is set to launch its second major awareness campaign in two years about the issue in January. These figures rely on internal reporting and the true extent of the issue is unclear, but its consequences can be fatal.

In 2014, the remains of a man were found by staff at a waste recycling plant in Bristol. Matthew Symonds, 34, had been sleeping in a waste bin under cardboard in Swindon after he was refused entry to a homeless shelter and was tipped into a bin lorry as he slept. A coroner was not able to establish exactly how he died, but noted his body suffered “significant disruption”.

Probably the biggest cost behind depreciation and fuel, moreover, if 100k is the wage you can add another 50k to that for personnel costs, possibly more if costs of FIFO are included in personnel costs.

Downsizing isn’t necessarily the smartest move. They make squillions. What are the wages for a second driver?

>$100 000 pa.

Probably the biggest cost behind depreciation and fuel, moreover, if 100k is the wage you can add another 50k to that for personnel costs, possibly more if costs of FIFO are included in personnel costs.

24,000 tonnes of iron ore on the train, at say $70 per tonnes adds up to about $1.6 million. Not sure the cost of a railway wagon or damaged and replaced rail and sleepers. 268 rail wagons, some of them looked pretty fucked in that video.

Now you bring that up…

Or the cost of the single crew member doing the right thing? Trains don’t take off by themselves, I am sure th investigation will find an established bodge to get around some sort of embuggerance.

weirdgrans ex was an ore train driver for years.

Not him but the loco is named after him

Watching a Film, Dogs in Space

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogs_in_Space

Dogs In Space 1986
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65wINTqQtGc

The film is set in a house occupied by a collection of social misfits. The main storyline is that of a strange musician’s relationship with a girl, their drug use and his band. These events are surrounded by a chaotic myriad of sub-plots. A homicidal chainsaw maniac’s lust for his machine and a T.V station’s offer of money in return for a piece of the Skylab satellite that has fallen to earth are just two. The film is composed of small fragments in the lives of its inhabitants, each following onto the next, sometimes overlapping and ending in tragedy.

Our workshop is the heart of our business! We happily service all makes and models, and stock a wide range of parts to get you back out on your beloved bike sooner.

We offer several different service levels, right from a safety check, through to a complete strip and rebuild, or anything in between! All our servicing is completely customisable to suit you needs.

We accept bookings over the phone (crucial to secure your place), however part of the service we offer is a one-on-one chat with one of our experienced technicians before leaving your bike with us to be pampered. This allows us to find out what needs to be done, and show you some other things that you may not have noticed! From there we will go ahead and complete the repair, and talk you through what was done at the time of pickup. We understand a day without a bike is a bad day, and have a range of common parts on hand to service your bike sooner, however sometimes we don’t have the exact right part in, so please allow a few days before flying or a special ride/race to ensure we can work together to get your bike perfect.

I have something similar. I think mine is 2.5m in diameter. A word of warning, they catch a lot of wind, even on a moderately windy day. You will need a heavy base IMHO. I got a moulded plastic base that can be filled with sand, but even then I’ve had it blow over. These days I have a heavy wooden table plus the base. It still rocks a bit with a gust of wind, enough to splash a full glass.

That is a market umbrella (270cm diameter).

Yes I’ll probably take my bike into Launceston eventually. I think you can stow them on Redline buses.

But I’ll wait until I’ve lost more weight, otherwise I might just puncture it again shortly after it’s fixed.

Looking at your picture, it looks like the plate needs to be bolted down onto concrete. If you can’t do that you will need a heavy base you can fill with sand.

I get some strong sea breezes here, 30-40 km/h on the BOM website is unusual.

Cyclists lives are completely dependent on the good offices of motorists.

there was a time, before the inducements to forget, when tracks and roads were for walking too, you know driving evolved from walking and running. Your mind is washed every day of this evolution, and in an honest world the truth wouldn’t be so, well, it’s fucken murdered every day. The car wasn’t meant to replace walking, not that sort of evolution ideology acquaints you with, like the new replaces the old. Walking a running never get old, never old fashioned. You walk to your car, then drive it, and somehow the driving the car became more important, a deceit, a mass deceit, part of the grand Lie that reaches into the back of your head and removes your brain.

now, bikes and more seen as like walking a running, or walkers and runners, which’d be okay if the evolution were understood, but it’s not.

so, to the fuckers, the love of the vehicles of indifference, what to do about that. Take back the roads, walkers and bicyclists, they don’t belong to motor vehicles, or motor vehicle drivers.

A tad damper than it was. Farken wind is taking it away before it lands mostly. Glad they were big fat heavy drops.

The name has been changed to Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, so it should be pretty clear to anyone joining a party which includes a person’s name that that person would expect to be calling the shots.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-11-06/chinese-gait-recognition-tech-ids-people-by-how-they-walk/10469974

Chinese authorities have begun deploying a new surveillance tool called “gait recognition” software that uses people’s body shapes and how they walk to identify them, even when their faces are hidden from cameras.

Key points:
Software developer Watrix says its program can identify people from 50 metres away
Gait recognition is being envisioned as a surveillance tool alongside facial recognition
The technology has been researched for over a decade in Japan, the UK and US
Already used by police on the streets of Beijing and Shanghai, “gait recognition” is part of a push across China to develop artificial intelligence and data-driven surveillance that is raising concerns about how far the technology will go.

The software, built by a Chinese artificial intelligence company called Watrix, extracts a person’s silhouette from video and analyses the silhouette’s movement to create a model of the way the person walks.

Leave no dark corner

China is building a digital dictatorship to exert control over its 1.4 billion citizens. For some, “social credit” will bring privileges, for others, punishment, as Matthew Carney reports.
It doesn’t require special cameras — the software can use footage from surveillance cameras to analyse gait.

Watrix chief executive officer Huang Yongzhen said its system can identify people from up to 50 metres away, even with their back turned or face covered.

“You don’t need people’s cooperation for us to be able to recognise their identity,” Mr Huang said.

“Gait analysis can’t be fooled by simply limping, walking with splayed feet or hunching over, because we’re analysing all the features of an entire body.”

Watrix employees demonstrate their firm’s gait recognition software at their company’s offices in Beijing.

The technology isn’t capable of identifying people in real-time yet.

Users instead must upload video into the program, which takes about 10 minutes to search through an hour of video.

Mr Huang envisioned gait recognition being used alongside face-scanning software, which needs close-up, high-resolution images of a person’s face to work.

Chinese police are using facial recognition to identify people in crowds and nab jaywalkers, and are developing an integrated national system of surveillance camera data.

Mr Huang is a former researcher who said he left academia after seeing how promising the technology had become.

He then co-founded Watrix in 2016, and his company was incubated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Though the software isn’t as good as facial recognition, Mr Huang said its 94 per cent accuracy rate is good enough for commercial use.

But not everyone is comfortable with gait recognition’s use.

Security officials in China’s far-western province of Xinjiang, a region whose Muslim population is already subject to intense surveillance and control, have expressed interest in the software.

Shi Shusi, a Chinese columnist and commentator, said it was unsurprising the technology was catching on in China faster than the rest of the world because of Beijing’s emphasis on social control.

“Using biometric recognition to maintain social stability and manage society is an unstoppable trend,” he said.

“It’s great business.”

Beyond surveillance, Mr Huang said gait recognition could also be used to spot people in distress, such as elderly individuals who have fallen down.

Mark Nixon, a leading expert on gait recognition at the University of Southampton in Britain, said the technology could make life safer and more convenient.

“People still don’t recognise they can be recognised by their gait, whereas everybody knows you can be recognised by your face,” Mr Nixon said.

“We believe you are totally unique in the way you walk.”

But the technology isn’t new.

Scientists in Japan, the United Kingdom and the US Defence Information Systems Agency have been researching gait recognition for over a decade, trying different ways to overcome scepticism that people could be recognised by the way they walk.

Professors from Osaka University have worked with Japan’s National Police Agency to use gait recognition software on a pilot basis since 2013.

But few have tried to commercialise gait recognition.

A Watrix employee works at his desk in their company’s offices in Beijing.

Israel-based FST Biometrics shut down earlier this year amid company infighting after encountering technical difficulties with its products, according to former advisory board member Gabriel Tal.

“It’s more complex than other biometrics, computationally,” Mr Nixon said.

“It takes bigger computers to do gait because you need a sequence of images, rather than a single image.”

According to Chinese media, Watrix announced last month that it had raised 100 million yuan ($20 million) to accelerate the development and sale of its gait recognition technology.

Just read it then. Thought I typed a reply, but must have hallucinated the typing…

Yea, it does happen, if you find a GP that ‘gives you what you want’, they’ll travel. Plus, you can use the extra line of “I live out in the Styx can you give me a years supply” etc. Some fall for it.

He may also have been locuming at Port Lincoln when the complaint was made.

Mark Latham Has Submitted His One Nation Membership Form As Well As His Preliminary Resignation Letter, As Per Standard One Nation Policy
By The Shovel on November 6, 2018

Saying it would save time on paperwork later on, former Labor leader Mark Latham has attached a preliminary resignation letter to his One Nation registration form, in preparation for his inevitable departure in a few week’s time.

One Nation loses a member of parliament on average once every six months, while Mark Latham changes political alliances on average once every six minutes.

In an upbeat welcome speech, Mr Latham said he was thrilled to be joining One Nation. In a sneak peak of his resignation speech, he said the party had lost its way and he could no longer work with party leader Pauline Hanson.

Ms Hanson said she was delighted to have Mr Latham on board, adding that Latham no longer represented her party’s values and she was happy to see him go.

and I’ve been saying it for years..

It seems strange to say there is a difference between one water source and another. But environmental factors and the source of each water supply influence the chemical makeup.

For the home gardener, it’s very important to know exactly what is in your water. The water you use, like all other inputs, should be as well suited to your plants’ needs as possible.

This begs the question, which water source is best? Tap, rain, or some other source?
The Difference

Tap water is treated with chlorine or chloramine. Seasoned gardeners will tell you that tap water can be used after 24 hours because the chlorine will dissipate through evaporation. However, chloramine does not. Tap water can also contain fluoride, salts, and minerals that are harmful to the soil in heavy concentrations. This is described as “hard” water and it usually carries a higher pH than rainwater which can cause nutrient lockout, a condition where plants are unable to assimilate the nutrients that are present.

Rainwater, on the other hand, is usually “soft” water. That is to say that it does not naturally contain the minerals that are typically blamed for the hard water marks seen in bathroom sinks and bathtubs. The pH is typically more acidic, usually between 5 and 7, than that of tap water and much better suited for nutrient uptake by plants and better for the soil. Additionally, rainwater also contains dissolved nitrogen that plants love.
The Verdict

Rainwater is better suited to plant growth and development because of the ideal pH, lack of “hard” water minerals, additives, and conditioners, and the presence of beneficial nutrients. That’s not to say that you can’t use tap water in a pinch, but who doesn’t love a good rain shower every once in awhile!

Wool on the sheep doesn’t get wet, full of lanolin. But I expect this is shearing season coming into summer and lambs are always susceptible.

Sheep in full wool can get sodden. It weighs a lot. And sometimes they ‘go down’ and don’t get up.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has fobbed off questions from a journalist who raised concerns expressed by a Rockhampton resident who said he was a Liberal voter.

ABC journalist Emilia Terzon pressed Mr Morrison on voter dissatisfaction following the Liberal leadership turmoil, saying she’d been hearing mixed sentiments from Queensland voters she’d been speaking to.

“I spoke to a voter last night at the pub, who said exactly that, they also said you sculling a beer at the pub wouldn’t have convinced them,” she said during a press conference in Rockhampton.

“I think you’ve got to stop talking to Labor voters, or the Greens,” Mr Morrison replied.

“That was a former LNP voter,” said Ms Terzon.

“I’m sure they were, I’m sure they were,” the Prime Minister responded.

Ms Terzon continued to grill Mr Morrison.

“Last night at the pub, I spoke to a Gladstone local who’s been voting for (Flynn MP Ken O’Dowd) for years, loves Ken but can’t vote for him at the next election because of all the instability with the coalition, what do you have to say about that?” she asked the Prime Minister.

He again dismissed the question.

“Stop coming up to press conferences and repeating the lines of the Labor party, every time I step up to the microphone,” Mr Morrison said.

That’s better than theirs, which seems to do the opposite – doesn’t give results for stuff that does exist on their website.

Works well in fact I had a specially marked ‘poisons” container in there, had little touchup tin of the paint used for the walls, tube of engine gasket goo, superglue
The store it upside down thing always works well with paint or any other air setting stuff, just have it in a container big enough to contain it if it leaks (naturally any closed container big enough to hold that container will do this automatically of course)
Of course if you have kids, a locking one might be better than what I did, which was a tupperware container with DANGER POISONS written on the lid and sides in red texta lol

Works well in fact I had a specially marked ‘poisons” container in there, had little touchup tin of the paint used for the walls, tube of engine gasket goo, superglue
The store it upside down thing always works well with paint or any other air setting stuff, just have it in a container big enough to contain it if it leaks (naturally any closed container big enough to hold that container will do this automatically of course)
Of course if you have kids, a locking one might be better than what I did, which was a tupperware container with DANGER POISONS written on the lid and sides in red texta lol

By “upside down”, do you mean “lid-end down?

Why would that be, if the lid is airtight why would it matter if the internal air gap is on the bottom or the top?

I suspect it works because most lids arent 100% airtight, so they gradually let air in and it goes off, but having it upside down, any ‘airgap’ will fill with the liquid inside, that will then set and seal the airgap up
Because in the case of superglue, they make the lid out plastic that doesnt bond that well, it becomes easier to ‘break’ it loose again
plus the colder temp slows the reactoins down

Tradies have been doing it for years

Yeah, that’s just the China that the 160,000 people who starved or froze death on the Long March were dreaming of. It’s exactly the caring socialist workers’ state that the 400,000 Chinese dead and nearly 500,000 Chinese wounded in the Korean War were hoping to bring about.

I was just scratching my head about how a country like Saudia Arabia actually survives. It imports about 80% of its food and as for water it is nearly all comes from desal plants. They used to have quite a bit of subterranean water but they used a shit load of it up to grow wheat to export, because that was a jolly good idea. The water has magically disappeared.

Probably still on the ballot. It may usually be a Republican seat so the only way voters could ensure a Republican wins is to firstly vote for the dead guy and then vote for his Republican replacement in the special election.

It appears a replacement is to be appointed from the same party. Much like Senate vacancies here.

She’s right.

The Democrats are committing the same error that the ALP is prey to: they sit back, and expect the electorate to suddenly realise that the more conservative government is not on the side of the average citizen, and to resolve to kick them out at the next chance and bring back that nice, more progressive party instead.

When the ALP is in power, it makes a flip-side presumption, that the electorate will remember how dreadful that other mob were to them, and not dare to vote the conservative back into office.
Selective recall of the times that these strategies seemed to work ensures that they continue to be employed.

Over to you, Witty.

It’s his own charming way of saying that it was everybody’s fault except mine, i feel no responsibility for any of this, all good things happen only because i was involved in them, and people who are not my supplicants get the lumps they deserve. And you’re all liars, of course.

And that level of understanding is what most people “get”. Sophisticated reasoning is not the “normal”.

People just need an explanatory story, not well-reasoned truths.

What Trump is saying is: “Here is a really simple (“great”) story about why it is all somebody else’s fault, not mine.”

I’m at the liberry watching an old lady playing online pokies on the computer. She just won $7000 fake money.

And I’m only 363 words til I hit 70k words in my novel.

And I have a meeting with the librarian this afternoon to evaluate last month’s Open Mic and to make suggestions on improving this month’s event.

There’s a baby crying in here, making weird noises when it breathes in. It’s probably a newborn… I hope it doesn’t have whooping cough as there is an outbreak in the area. I’m getting Mini Me vaccinated tomorrow even though shes’ not due for another month.

It’s the scene where Freddie is calling Mary at the truck stop and the guy who goes into the bathrooms is (apparently) Adam Lambert. I totally missed it and only found out when I was reading about the film later. Now I’m gonna have to see it again!

It’s a bit muddled. I know how I want it to end, but I’m a bit stuck on how to get there from where I am. The core of it is all there, I’m just flashing it out and filling in the blanks in the hopes that inspiration will hit me.

It needs major editing though. Some details are just plain wrong, some need to be tweaked, some characters need an earlier introduction, some need to be deleted, and subplots need to be deleted or expanded upon. I deliberately put threads in there to work on later, to see if they should be in there or not. One in particular needs to be scrapped; it just doesn’t work.

Yeah, there was parts that I thought could have been handled differently, but oh well…

I was trying not to watch the 22 minutes of adds that preceded the movie. Not sure I’d bother with Elton, but my Ren would, so I might. ;-)

How far into your storyline are you?

DA is at the bit where the murderer is sitting in the library eating M&Ms and watching the old lady play poker on her computer.

I’m finishing my coffee then doing a little more artwork, then starting a materials list and general planning for a new project…

Which will be a compact model railway layout to give me an extra aesthetic outlet, to help me loosen up with the proper artwork and just generally be more creative.

I probably won’t set it up while I’m living here on account of having no room, but I can be making various components for it.

No. Mr Plan C returned my cold call just before lunch. His initial reaction was no, but when I gave him the price he thought he might chat to his wife (also an optometrist and practice partner) and he will get back to me in the next couple of days.

Librarian: It’s an interconnected network all over the world with information on news, sport, weather… Businesses put up websites. You can use something called a provider (starts talking about TPG, Telstra etc)

Ten is old enough to know how things work…

Mini Me (almost 4) was talking about babies in tummies the other day. She asked if babies came out and I said yes, bracing myself for the question, “how do they come out?” But she didn’t ask. Phew.

I prefer “belly” to “tummy”, as “tummy” is baby-talk for “stomach”. Not a nice place for a fetus.

You get a sharp knife and cut the mother’s belly open, pull the baby out and then slap her on the arse.

I had a visit from Sarah and Henry.

Henry took the TV controller. Sarah took it off him and did a little thing pretending it was a rocket lift off. She explained that Tim liked rockets and this was how he took the controller off Henry.

So I spent my time with Henry watching rocket launches. He can’t count but makes random noises as if he can.

Ni.
Phu.
Doo.
Doh.
Ni.
Ah.

PHOOOOOOOROOOOO.

*waves arms around.

I found one youtube that was mostly countdowns and lift offs. It was very satisfactory.

I showed him counting to ten and back on my fingers. He was starting to use his fingers by the time he left.

I told Sarah to get Tim to watch more rockets tonight when he gets home.

I’m starting to think that Henry is not slow. Maybe he is just not stimulated enough.

I remember explaining it all in detail to Sarah after I heard her explain to other kids that you got pregnant by ringing Greg Coad and he put a straw up your bum that put a baby in your tummy. (She had seen cows get AI’ed a number of times.)

Major concerns around lack of teaching support and transparency have been raised by students following months of unrest at the University of Tasmania’s School of Creative Arts (SOCA) campus in Hobart.

A petition launched by students calling on the University to resolve “ongoing disruptions to learning and study” has gained more than 220 signatures.

The petition highlights an “unexplained absence” of some key teaching staff as well as “uncertainty” around employment for technical staff, leading to an “atmosphere of anxiety and distrust” arising at the campus.

Fine Arts honours student Alex Hullah has been involved in the creation of the petition and said there have been major issues with the sculpture course.

“Many of us have actually had to withdraw, defer, take a leave of absence and really consider whether we are going to return to study next semester,” she told ABC Radio Hobart.

“This situation has affected student and staff mental health.”

James Edward, the last remaining full-time honours student in the sculpture department, said “there has been a lot of unrest, upset and distrust of the university amongst the students”.

The online petition states “many students and staff have experienced on-going disruptions to learning and study”.

Concerns included the “unexplained absence of essential teaching staff”, changes to technician roles, “lack of stability in leadership positions” at the SOCA campus, “uncertainty over the future of the school”, a “lack of transparency and inadequate communication from UTAS management”, “lack of investment from UTAS in facilities and services” and “negative and political culture in staffing body at SOCA that has been detrimental to learning and teaching”.

Many of the concerns “have been on-going and relate to poor management and leadership in The University”, the petition wording reads, adding students “demand action” to “address student concerns and to improve the reputation, quality and experience of arts courses”.

Reason for investigation kept from students

Ms Hullah said the sculpture course went without supervision and teaching support for a significant period of time in semester 2 following the removal of two teaching staff for undisclosed reasons.

“Some students didn’t have teachers at classes and just didn’t know what to do,” she said.

“These are courses that we obviously have large HECS debts .”

The petition was launched after 17 students submitted formal complaints to the University, but following an extended investigation by the University’s Academic Senate, no action was taken even though the complaints were “substantiated”.

The petition has gained support from both students and staff as well as members from the general art community.

“We just want UTAS to come together and treat us as stakeholders and consult with us about what art students need and how we can access high-quality education,” Ms Hullah said.

The students said there had been three heads of the arts campus in just a year, with the revolving door in leadership leading to a lack of stability in the resolution process.

The petition has been delivered to various members of senior UTAS management, including Vice-Chancellor Professor Rufus Black.

UTAS has been approached for comment.

I saw the petition go past last night. I thought,‘Still?’

I went through crap like this in Honours and in my Masters. Some of the crap pissed me off because I didn’t need to know what administrative crap was going on because it wasn’t my crap.

I do know that the head and 2IC in Sculpture are married. I suppose they are at the root of the present problems. Probably not putting up with crap.

I do get the feeling they are pushing out all the staff with full time jobs and have been doing so for some time.

After a tiring day, a commuter settled down in his seat and closed his eyes.
As the train rolled out of the station, the young woman sitting next to him pulled out her cell phone and started talking in a loud voice:

“Hi sweetheart. It’s Sue I’m on the train”.
“Yes, I know it’s the six thirty and not the four thirty, but I had a long meeting”.
“No, honey, not with that Kevin from the accounting office. It was with the boss”.
“No sweetheart, you’re the only one in my life”.
“Yes, I’m sure, cross my heart!”
Fifteen minutes later, she was still talking loudly.

When the man sitting next to her had enough, he leaned over and said into the phone,
“Sue, hang up the phone and come back to bed.”

Sue doesn’t use her cell phone in public any longer.

Take dogs out for evening pee pee tournament and find broken glass in the gravel in front of the workshop. Of course the dogs start going nuts at the back fence, and when I call them away they run around the yard and go right through all the bloody broken glass. And stop. Three times I tried to call them away, the yard is huge, but n..o..o..o..o.
Eventually after much wrangling and leaks from Grace’s pee pee, I got them back inside. We found that the glass was from the cover of an outdoor floodlight. Not safety glass. I swear Grace is like the special needs toddler grandchild that we haven’t got.

The End.

Foley has resigned.

Here is the statement by his accuser. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-11-08/ashleigh-raper-full-statement/10478012

Many things stand out in her statement, this one being the most profound: “It is clear to me that a woman who is subject to such behaviour is often the person who suffers most once a complaint is made”.

Just think about that for a minute.

She feared negative publicity. She feared losing her job and her reputation. She feared the impact on her family.

Foley sought legal advice, and was advised not to resign. He told Ms Raper that he intended to take that advice. Foley stood to lose nothing, she would lose everything she’s worked for.

‘Following a government welfare crackdown announced by then-treasurer Scott Morrison in the 2017 budget, many drug and alcohol dependent people in rehabilitation are being hit with the same problem; a sudden cut-off of their Newstart payments.

In May 2017, Mr Morrison said the new rules would “simplify the compliance system and provide vulnerable people with support”, and “take into account individual circumstances to ensure that people with genuine issues are not unfairly penalised”.

The crackdown, implemented in July this year, targeted welfare recipients who don’t turn up for their job-seeking appointments because they are drug-affected or drunk.

Under the new rules, their payments can be withheld.

Job-seekers participating in drug and alcohol treatment are supposed to be afforded a medical exemption from attending appointments, but, in an apparent misapplication of the rules by job agencies, many are being told they can no longer claim the exemption.

Unable to go anywhere because they are in lockdown in rehab, they lose their only income…

… The problem, rehabilitation services say, is widespread and, given that Newstart subsidises the running costs of most charity-run rehab facilities, the facilities stand to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding.

“You’ve got the users in a downward spiral, and you’re getting into treatment, and all of a sudden there is an administrative barrier,” said Garth Popple, the chief executive of rehabilitation service We Help Ourselves (WHOS), which has 250 beds across NSW and Queensland.

His organisation has forecast it will lose $150,000 in funding over a year as a result of the wrongful cessation of Newstart payments to its clients.

I’ve taken a minute to think about it and decided to keep an open mind.

an open mind about what? that it happened? he’s admitted it did.

Where did he do that?

He said he was sorry and that he was full of remorse for his behaviour towards me at the Press Gallery Christmas function in November 2016.

plus there is a witness.

Ahh that’s a bit different, the person making the accusation saying they admitted it to them is not the same thing as saying he’s admitted it.

According to the sound bite I just saw on the news, Foley is vehemently denying the incident.

Which brings us back to what Ms Raper was saying about staying quiet because being a complainer gets you nowhere.

Calm your jets, its just been pointed out that saying he admitted it, is different to someone saying he admitted it.

As for the rest of it, there are many reasons why someone would resign even if they didn’t do it.

this is why a lot of rape cases never get to court, plus the reasons DA stated about the shame, judgement, reliving incident etc etc.. as well as the backlog… but it is slowly slowly changing.

Her other Dane, Orson, was 8 and died last June. He had osteosarcoma. They’re not sure how old Leti is because she was a rescue. Her other dog, a rescue greyhound named Oscar, had something I can’t pronounce but was bleeding internally. I think that was July this year?

Mum lost Ro late November last year and of course I lost Jaz in April.

They did, but you need passing traffic or people looking for you. There are several tracks I used regularly, which nobody else went down, so to wait you could be just bones before they found you.

sure. I remember the two youngish lads who died in the outback (WA I think) who were eventually found dead and one of them had carved a note on his canteen that said something like “My fault” (though he spelled fault incorrectly) and ‘sorry’ or some such… though I cannot for the life of me remember their names.. their disappearance and subsequent discovery was all over the media for some time

In the race-sex crosstabs, the only sector that voted mostly Republican were the white males: the Reps appear to have lost the white female demographic that they nabbed in 2016.

All age brackets up to 60 mostly went Democrat: those over 60 went Republican. Income groups under 80k went Democrat, those over 80k went Republican.

Apparently they were actually only 18km from water and shelter. Dunno if they were aware though.

The missing part of this story is their background: whether they had, or should have had, an understanding of the situation they were risking.

They came from an Aboriginal community, so presume they would be Aborigine and have knowledge of the outback.

Never been to Central Australia, but i had some talks with a bloke who loved to go there.

When i asked him what was the most essential bit of equipment, i thought he’d say ‘big water containers’, or ‘a winch on the vehicle’ or similar.

‘Satellite phone’, he said.

‘You can rent them. They’re fabulous. When you call, you’ll get through, someone will answer. Best bit of kit, ever.’

The temperatures in Northern WA during the week were over 40 degrees C, so pretty warm in the inland. People have died of heat exhaustion in those circumstance even when they had water with them.

The bodies of a young family — a 19-year-old man, a 19-year-old woman and a three-year-old boy — were found yesterday about 4.5 kilometres from their broken-down vehicle.

This morning, police said a 12-year-old boy, who they believed was with the group, was not found among the dead.

Superglue would work but it’s probably too quick-setting for this particular project. The Weicon stuff sounds ideal so I might end up getting some.

This stuff is cheaper but sounds pretty good:

VM 120 Super Glue for Metal is a special kind of contact adhesive which creates very high strength bonds with metal surfaces and parts. This cyanoacrylate adhesive is based on methyl ester which makes it different to the more common ethyl ester based super glues you will find. This is the source of its particularly good compatibility with metals and the high strength bonds it creates.

VM 120 is a colourless, clear super glue that has a medium viscosity. This glue has a slightly slower curing process which allows you a little time to accurately position the parts you are joining after you’re put on the glue. Like most glues, cure time for VM 120 will vary depending on materials and the conditions you are bonding in. Maximum cure time will be around 120 seconds (bonding PVC in a cool area with low humidity). Usually it will be closer to 20-40 seconds.

When used to bond sand-blasted steel, its shear strength was tested to be 25 N/mm² which is an incredibly strong result for a super glue. VM 120 also rubbers and most plastics quite well. It struggles with glass, ceramic, wood and leather (luckily, we have other super glues for these).

Manufactured by Weicon in Germany, this high-quality glue is widely used in many industries around the world. It is often chosen for making high strength repairs to metal components and for day-to-day tasks in the metal working and machine construction industries.

A patchy, weathered painting of a beast daubed on the wall of a limestone cave in Borneo may be the oldest known example of figurative rock art, say researchers who dated the work.

Faded and fractured, the reddish-orange image depicts a plump but slender-legged animal, probably a species of wild cattle that still lives on the island, or simply dinner in the eyes of the artist, if one streak of ochre that resembles a spear protruding from its flank is any guide.

Some of those paintings are made from a paint of fat mixed with coloured earths, I wonder if a camera that looks at the reflective spectrum of fats has ever been considered to enhance or even reveal paintings that have faded from sight.

Special report: Fundraisers and panels aim to convince conservatives to wrest control and potentially reinstall former PM as leader

Tony Abbott and like-minded conservatives are in the midst of a concerted push to claim back the heart and soul of the Liberal party and potentially reinstall him as leader should the party find itself in opposition after next year’s federal election.

The tight-knit group, which includes Abbott, the MP for Hughes, Craig Kelly, the MP for Canning in Perth, Andrew Hastie, and the New South Wales senator Jim Molan have embarked on a series of events at rightwing branches exhorting conservatives to take back control of the Liberal agenda.

Among the most eye-catching was a statistic showing Democrats led Republicans by more than 12 million votes in Senate races, and yet still suffered losses on the night and failed to win a majority of seats in the chamber.

If you look at footage of buildings or trees or other things during a nuclear explosion, there are three distinct components: a thermal pulse, a high-pressure pulse, then a low-pressure pulse. The high-pressure pulse is obviously from the sudden increase in pressure from the explosion, but what causes the low-pressure pulse? It seems to be almost as powerful as the high-pressure pulse (though I haven’t checked this, only inferred it from videos.)

guess the explosion involves a displacement of atmosphere, then a collapse, + there’s a massive high pressure force outward that has to equalize, or start to equalize, so maybe that’s what you see.

That would make sense, but if you look at the mushroom cloud iself, it doesn’t display the shrinking you’d expect to see if it were the case — indeed, it keeps expanding.

I think there’s an important aspect of this that some journalists are overlooking…

The Senate is divided into three classes, each of which is elected for six years. Hence, there are third-senate elections each two years.

Democrats had a great night in the Senate this year. There were 35 seats available and they won 23 of them. By any token, that’s a successful campaign. They should be very content.

The reason they don’t hold the Senate is that in 2012 and 2014, they had really really shitty Senate results.

In 2012, they only won 10 out of 33 Senate races.
In 2014, they only won 12 out of 36 Senate races.

Those results will linger in the senate until the 2020 and 2022 Senate contests, respectively.

just imagining a massive cooling too, from extremely high temperatures, this’d be implosive.

But there will be some low hanging fruit for the Dems in the Senate in 2020.

  • Governorship flipped from Republican to Democrat with the election of Michelle Lujan Grisham.
  • Democrats improved their position in the state house of reps.
  • This means that the Democrats have “the trifecta” (Governor, house of reps and senate) which means they can control redistricting and administration of elections and so on.
  • All three New Mexico congressional districts are now Democrat, with Xochitl Torres Small winning the 2nd district after her Republican opponent originally claimed victory on Tuesday.
  • Both New Mexico senators remain Democrat.

So it’s pretty much wall to wall blue now.

Yes.

The big problem is that being drunk does that. The time is long overdue for making alcohol more illegal than heroin. You wouldn’t hand out heroin at a social function.

The big problem is that being drunk does that. The time is long overdue for making alcohol more illegal than heroin. You wouldn’t hand out heroin at a social function.

From admittedly limited evidence, it seems to me that if one group of people had unlimited access to alcohol for a year, and another group had unlimited access to heroin, the proportion of people who were totally fucked at the end of the year would bevery much higher in the heroin group.

I’m not going to make any personal judgements. However, it is true that the AMA supports legal use of heroin over legal misuse of alcohol.

Even illegal, very few people take up heroin by comparison. Not everyone dies from heroin use. If it was legal enough for those who do use it then they wouldn’t be dying from bad batches and dirty needles etc.

I suggested that if people take up regular use, the probability of serious harm is way higher than it is for alcohol.

If heroin was made legal, and companies (maybe tobacco companies) were allowed to market it and distribute it in the same way that alcohol is marketed and distributed, then i’m sure that, in the interests of maximising profits, one of the first things they’d address would be finding a more ‘attractive’ method of administration.

OK, I’ve thought about it.

I think that if heroin was available on the same basis as alcohol, the level of misuse would be way higher than it is now.

Yea, still, I’d disagree and still mainly due to route of administration…

If heroin was made legal, and companies (maybe tobacco companies) were allowed to market it and distribute it in the same way that alcohol is marketed and distributed, then i’m sure that, in the interests of maximising profits, one of the first things they’d address would be finding a more ‘attractive’ method of administration.

You don’t get the same high from oral heroin as you do injected. But yea, possible.

What makes you think people would suddenly stop misusing heroin if it was legally available?

Think aboout it.

OK, I’ve thought about it.

I think that if heroin was available on the same basis as alcohol, the level of misuse would be way higher than it is now.

once prohibition ceased alcohol consumption decreased

When I went back to work post-op I was doing 55 hour weeks (note that a registrar is supposed to do 43 hours) and I didn’t cope well. Also had lazy, attitude-giving minions which didn’t help. I ended up crying at the boss for 45 minutes one day and then cried at another consultant later that week. Fortunately I saw my neuro the next week who wrote me a lovely letter requesting I be taken off the after-hours roster. And the boss said yes! So until Feb I’m just doing my 43 hours.

This week however is the second of three weeks annual leave. Tomorrow Mumsy and I are roadtripping to Canberra (for the Ancient Rome exhibition at museum) and coming home via Bonegilla where three of my grandparents started their lives in Australia.

So right now I’m actually feeling pretty well :-O

That’s true. Largely because alcohol consumption actually increased during Prohibition, compared to levels beforethe ban.

Historians generally agree that, without Prohibition, organised crime in the US is unlikely to have become as well-established as it did.

right so we should legalise all drugs, and treat the issue as a health problem and not a legal one.. it would not only take a lot of pressure off the CJS (where drug convictions are second to violent assault) but allow for regulation and monitoring of quality. You can also place restrictions on other activities like they do with alcohol and driving and age limits.

If alcohol consumption increased during the prohibition (I assume we’re talking USA here), that’s evidence that you can’t apply observations on alcohol consumption to other drugs, since heroin consumption remains at a comparatively low level, in spite of the fact that it is prohibited.

That may have to do with the unattractiveness of the method of administration (as has already been mentioned), the comparative difficulties of getting raw materials (crops of opium poppies tend to show up), difficulties with manufacture (anyone with access to sugar can probably get something to ferment in their shed without too much specialised gear), and alcohol production is comparatively discreet (you don’t have to get rid of lots of acetic acid when you make beer, but heroin is another story).

Sounds like the British approach. Drugs on prescription for identified addicts. Reduces the market for illegal supply, provides access to medical advice and management.

There’s addicts in Britain who’ve lived with and functioned with a managed addiction for decades on end.

Yes, but when your household/factory unit drains constantly reek of having high levels of the stuff in them, there’s a risk that even the police will notice. Lots of vinegar in thesewers is one clue to a lab somewhere in the vicinity.

White House shares doctored video to support punishment of journalist Jim Acosta

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders on Wednesday night shared a video of CNN reporter Jim Acosta that appeared to have been altered to make his actions at a news conference look more aggressive toward a White House intern.

Have you seen the responses from professional video peoples?

Should try harder?

I was thinking of raking the gravel off the surface, then using the shop vac suck up a good layer of the dusty sand. Some of it is compacted quite firmly, but one spot is soft and powdery.

It’s right in front of the workshop doorway and the dogs use that door to come inside to annoy me.

Two things about the Acosta video:

1. it appears to me that if was the WH ‘intern’ (obviously one of a number seeded into the audience to intervene if the Troll Doll got embarrassed) was the one who behaved aggressively and rudely.

2. They really should’t give videos to just whichever ‘intern’ happens to be handy to doctor to support their lying and their distorted view of things.

My theory…

Many, many Americans have been brought up in very religious households, with patriotism front and centre. Part of being patriotic is to follow sports, seasonal holidays and consumerism. Follow the rules of what it means to be American.

IMO that leads to “feeble minds”. The sidecar riders.

I thought it was bad enough when they falsified the transcript of the Leningrad press conference, just straight deleting the question
“President Putin, did you want President Trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?” to which Putin replied “yes I did, yes I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.–Russia relationship back to normal.”

Once they realised they could falsify official transcripts with no consequences, they must have realised they could do anything.

If a batsman is allowed to switch hit I don’t see anything wrong with this delivery.

Or (shrugs) you could even just look at the videos with your own eyes and brain. It’s not as though the difference is subtle.

>Many, many Americans have been brought up in very religious households, with patriotism front and centre.

It’s rather contradictory though because being “patriotic” in the US often means being a pro-confederate, anti-government, anti-Western, freedom-hating follower of an ancient Middle Eastern religion.

They love their flag but they hate what it stands for: the modern liberal democratic world and the incessant progress that comes with it.

But alas, I don’t think I’ll turn up after all. Because I’ll be expected to buy something and my shopping list for this proposed model railway project is growing longer every time I think about it for 10 minutes or so.

I suggested that if people take up regular use, the probability of serious harm is way higher than it is for alcohol.

once prohibition ceased alcohol consumption decreased

If alcohol consumption increased during the prohibition (I assume we’re talking USA here), that’s evidence that you can’t apply observations on alcohol consumption to other drugs, since heroin consumption remains at a comparatively low level, in spite of the fact that it is prohibited.

and you haven’t worked that out yet.

I think it is fair to say that heroin prohibition has restricted access to heroin in Australia.

There’s a practical difference between heroin and alcohol, in that it is straight impossible to ban alcohol. You can make it out of any kind of fruit, vegetable, you can make it from sugar or milk, or blood, cactus, stuff you find in the garden … the source material is everywhere.

I was thinking of raking the gravel off the surface, then using the shop vac suck up a good layer of the dusty sand. Some of it is compacted quite firmly, but one spot is soft and powdery.

It’s right in front of the workshop doorway and the dogs use that door to come inside to annoy me.

Sounds good to me.

Really, it’s not “likewise” at all. It’s utterly different. I can make alcohol, any time I want, using stuff from the garden, in the privacy of my home, without contact with any supplier of source material.

I therefore conclude that if the price was much less, and the social disincentive against use was removed, the usage would greatly increase.

Back in the early 80s i knew quite few people that were regular heroin users. One had three addiction phases. The first in Vietnam. He was an occasional heavy user. Did awful things to keep his habit together. I did spend days with him during one withdrawal. It was pretty awful. He eventual died when he had a motorcycle accident and Hobart hospital refused to give him painkillers. A few cracked ribs. A collapsed lung. A borken scapula. He booked himself out and self medicated to death.

I also knew a few people working in Emergency at large Sydney hospital. They would occasionally go off for ‘a taste’ during shifts. They didn’t take heroin outside of work.

I never took heroin because I knew I had an addictive personality.

Well, in the instance of can afford heroin, their usage is quite restrained. If the price was much less and the quality was assured, there would be less hopeless addicts.

They do.

It can be observed that amongst people who have sufficient money to buy heroin, and little if any social incentive not to buy heroin, the proportion of people who use it is much higher than it is in the general population. I therefore conclude that if the price was much less, and the social disincentive against use was removed, the usage would greatly increase.

Well, in the instance of can afford heroin, their usage is quite restrained. If the price was much less and the quality was assured, there would be less hopeless addicts.

I can think of quite a few people who had enormous quantities of money and whose usage was anything but restrained.

I can’t think of any restrained users, rich or otherwise. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist of course, but I will need some evidence that it is in fact the norm, rather than just your say so.

Rule 303 said:

dv said:

I think it is fair to say that heroin prohibition has restricted access to heroin in Australia.

There’s a practical difference between heroin and alcohol, in that it is straight impossible to ban alcohol. You can make it out of any kind of fruit, vegetable, you can make it from sugar or milk, or blood, cactus, stuff you find in the garden … the source material is everywhere.

Likewise, you can source Heroin from any one of a hundred countries, brought to Australia by any one of a hundred routes of entry.

They tell me it’s easier to get Heroin in gaol than to get Alcohol.

Really, it’s not “likewise” at all. It’s utterly different. I can make alcohol, any time I want, using stuff from the garden, in the privacy of my home, without contact with any supplier of source material.

Just to give you the argument, making alcohol requires knowledge, time, containers, the right storage conditions, a secure location, the ability to acquire, store, protect and carry the ingredients, and so on. All Heroin requires is money or an arse to sell.

I had both, money and an arse to sell. Heroin was always available. Never tried it once.

Basically what he said was that the AMA were in favour of legalising heroin because it was far less dangerous than alcohol and that by being legal it would be less dangerous.

It’s ridiculous that we are still arguing this subject. The science is in, it is a fact, not a theory or opinion, yet you get people doing their best to degrade the findings. The problem is, there are too many ignorant fools ready to suck it up and pretend it will not affect them or their children. Now that is the REAL madness.

VIDEO has emerged of a man lunging at police with what appears to be a knife before being shot in Melbourne’s Bourke St.

The man allegedly set his car on fire and stabbed a number of people this afternoon before being shot.

In a statement police said a man was arrested at the scene and has been taken to hospital in critical condition. He is under police guard.

“A small number of people are being treated for stab wounds,” the statement said.

The exact circumstances are yet to be determined at this stage.

Ah. Bummer.

When we lived in Armidale, electricity cost was higher in summer than winter, because we had a wood-fired heating system that also heated the water, so no electricity used for hot water in winter. But off-peak water heating in summer.

House was built in 1895, and was extremely cold until I insulated it.

VIDEO has emerged of a man lunging at police with what appears to be a knife before being shot in Melbourne’s Bourke St.

The man allegedly set his car on fire and stabbed a number of people this afternoon before being shot.

In a statement police said a man was arrested at the scene and has been taken to hospital in critical condition. He is under police guard.

“A small number of people are being treated for stab wounds,” the statement said.

The exact circumstances are yet to be determined at this stage.

I’ll say it:

beardy-weirdy?

“A lot of bystanders actually just screaming at the police officers, because the police officers were trying to take the knife off him and arrest him but bystanders were yelling out ‘just shoot him, just shoot him’.”

And that’s the way of the world. Just shoot the fucker seems to be quite common ground.

“T’was a foin toim we had ‘round at Grogan’s,
And the foive of us slept not a wink.
With a fiddle to stir up our brogans,
And plenty of toddy to drink.
Ah, the grog, it was free as the air is,
And we managed to stow it away.
We whistled and sang like canaries!
— Who was the foive, did ye say?”

I just saw footage of the shooting captured by one of my daughter’s friends.

It surprised me, a lot. The wallopers let him get very close and let him go for quite a while before a single shot was fired.

Most people (cops included) are (understandably) quite reticent about shooting someone. Even in Trump’s gun capital of the world.

I think he was picked up up the top of the hill, past the RACV Club, because the staff told us they saw him go past. Today’s one looks to me like it’s down the other end of the mall near the Target store. From the news footage. So a couple of blocks away.

I know kurrajongs are not fast growers, but I have to say, those trees do not look like they are 100 years old to me. I have a kurrajong in my front garden that is about 18 years old and it’s as big as they are already.

Well, that happened as a result of a criminally targeted shooting of random coppers. It kept Vic Police on edge for an awfully long time.

I bet he was saying “just shoot the cunt”.

I’m not a policeman, never have been. Different background, different training.

What i was taught was, when someone tries to do you deadly harm with a lethal weapon, then ‘just shooting the c**t’ is an entirely valid response.

True? I thought one of his stabbing victims died, not the perpetrator.

Knife-wielder died in hospital.

9mm slugs in the chest often produce that outcome.

That is true.

But, and this applies to Arts’ comment as well, when faced with someone who’s trying to kill you, and you have a firearm, then ideas about testing your marksmanship skills against a moving target would sort of leave your head, and you shoot for what you can hit.

Well, even a stomachy sort of shot should have incapacitated but left him to bear the consequences. I’m a believer in consequences. I don’t really think the policeman was going to be quite accurate enough for poik’s suggestion.

I have heard one at home a couple of years ago. They do make a reasonable amount of noise, as the one I heard was a couple of hundred metres away when I first heard it. I have no idea what it was doing. It was over our park. You’d want to be aware of the wedgetail eagles and other birds of prey we have around our area if you wanted your drone to be safe. I reckon the ravens, magpies and currawongs might get a bit territorial about them too. And if they worked out they were carrying food….they learn quickly.

There are some situations where cool detachment, careful consideration, and a steady hand just seem to desert you. Having a large knife-wielding maniac who’s already stabbed a number of people swinging wildly at you would fit that description for most people.

The space between ‘subjectivity’ and ‘objectivity’ bangs shut in a fast wash of adrenaline, and there’s only one goal, at any cost.

I don’t go more than a couple of days without hearing a drone here. Seems that people think that in a holiday village, the normal rules don’t apply, like the fireworks, the noisy music, the wild parties and the speeding.

Usually agonisingly, slowly, messily, very noisily. Everyone fears stomach wounds and throat wounds (slim chances there, too).

I remember reading an interview with a cop years ago, paraphrasing: “I was four feet away, I shot five times, missed every time; the training went out the window and the adrenaline took over”.

The diverticulitis diet consists of feeling so crap you don’t want to eat. Not looking forwards to the bit where I feel better and want to eat everything again.

There’s lots of advice on the internet about what you can and can’t eat. A fair bit of it conflicting. ‘No nuts or corn’. ‘It’s OK to eat nuts and corn’

Diverticulitis diet?

Please expand…

(I was never given one – apart from “don’t eat any nuts and take metamucil”.)

The diverticulitis diet consists of feeling so crap you don’t want to eat. Not looking forwards to the bit where I feel better and want to eat everything again.

that does not sound highly recommended at all

Except for losing some weight.

The rest of it sounds miserable.

Well, I’ve been on the diverticulitis diet since last week. Nearly 4 kilos gone. Highly recommended. Apart from the initial few days of pain that is.

Tell me more. Mrs S has the same complaint.

Does Mrs S have diverticulosis or diverticulitis?

Is diverticulitis.

I ate real food. A pile of mashed potatoes and a garlic chicken kiev and some fried onions.

There was none left for Cobbett.

Well done, sm :)

quite, though I hope your damn fine dog got something delicious

We had already been to the cupboard for Cobbett. He had the pal kibble that he doesn’t like and some liver treats and a little packet of gourmet beef and barley. He has picked out the good stuff and left the kibble to when he is hungry enough to have to eat it.

You should see him move when asked if we should go and look in the cupboard.

Scotland will become the first country in the world to embed the teaching of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex rights in the school curriculum, in what campaigners have described as a historic moment.

State schools will be required to teach pupils about the history of LGBTI equalities and movements, as well as tackling homophobia and transphobia and exploring LGBTI identity, after ministers accepted in full the recommendations of a working group led by the Time for Inclusive Education (TIE) campaign.

Jordan Daly, the co-founder of TIE, said the “destructive legacy” of section 28 had come to an end. This legislation, introduced in 1988, banned local authorities in the UK from “promoting” homosexuality, until it was eventually repealed in Scotland 2001 and in the rest of the UK two years later.

Daly said: “This is a monumental victory for our campaign, and a historic moment for our country. The implementation of LGBTI inclusive education across all state schools is a world first. In a time of global uncertainty, this sends a strong and clear message to LGBTI young people that they are valued here in Scotland.”

A study for TIE found that nine in 10 LGBTI Scots experience homophobia at school, and 27% reported they had attempted suicide after being bullied. The investigation also found there was little understanding in schools about prejudice against people with variations of sex characteristics and intersex bodies.

The deputy first minister, John Swinney, said: “Scotland is already considered one of the most progressive countries in Europe for LGBTI equality. I am delighted to announce we will be the first country in the world to have LGBTI-inclusive education embedded within the curriculum.

“Our education system must support everyone to reach their full potential. That is why it is vital the curriculum is as diverse as the young people who learn in our schools.”

Scotland has regularly been ranked as one of the best countries in Europe in relation to legal protections for LGBTI people, despite the fact that it decriminalised homosexuality in 1980, 13 years later than England and Wales.

In 2016, the former Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale described the country as having “the gayest parliament in the world”: at the time four of Scotland’s six party leaders (Dugdale, the Conservatives’ Ruth Davidson, Ukip’s David Coburn and the Greens’ Patrick Harvie) identified as lesbian, gay or bisexual.

The announcement comes after the Guardian reported on Tuesday that women’s groups have written to the education secretary, Damian Hinds, warning that the Westminster government’s sex education plans for England and Wales were “squeamish” and doomed to failure unless radically revised.

Is diverticulitis.

I had diverticular disease for a few years; when it flared up into diverticulitis it was so bad I sometimes wanted to die. I couldn’t eat anything, but the antibiotics I was on had to be taken after or with food. Eventually it got so bad my large intestine ruptured, so they cut a chunk out, curing the disease. That took almost three years to recover from.

They do, Bin Liner ran a top down organisation and directed what should be done, provided funding and assistance, the successor devolved to offering funding and assistance but the job was opportunistic and now it’s completely freelance. The literature is out there and that’s all it takes, Islamic terrorism is, in the west anyway, at the moment entrepreneurial and self motivating, amway of atrocities.

Which is not to preclude a charismatic figure starting a local chapter, but the websites and the forums are out there.

That’s the spirit. Six of one. Some would be inspired by genuine grievance against the great Satan and the west in general, protest against Israel and religious fanaticism, and some would be nutters latching onto a greater cause that would give legitimacy to a deadly gesture of attention seeking.

The Russians have a pissy little naval base in Syrica, but it it not really that important. The Russian Black Sea fleet will still have to fight its way out through Turkey if they want to cause any trouble. Turkey is pretty much vital to NATA as gatekeeper.

Kurds are next. They have a real taste of a nationhood and feel they have earned it, they are getting disbursements from overseas and are tough opponents, but geopolitically they don’t really have any allies. They are being left alone largly at the moment, but once things settle down, eyes will be turned toward those territories.

I wonder what the consequences of Syria will end up being? I can’t imagine Russia kicking in for much of a modern day marshal plan for its long time ally. I suspect the west will end up supporting much of the rebuilding, like mugs. Also implications for the poor Kurds who get kicked pillar to post, and Turkey is in a strange mood and tending toward national beardy wierdy status.

Do the West really care that much?

The Russians have a pissy little naval base in Syrica, but it it not really that important. The Russian Black Sea fleet will still have to fight its way out through Turkey if they want to cause any trouble. Turkey is pretty much vital to NATA as gatekeeper.

I think they care enough to contribute shedloads of money, Russia will contribute fuck all but keep control of Syria. Who’s the silly one?

I think that would be only if Bashir was dead or removed.

He is of the alawite tribe which is a minority, it’s the way of tribal politics that they fight so hard because defeat means destruction, root and branch, an expression which caused Bush a lot of problems because it means destroying a family in that part of the world, so the alawite are fighting so fiercely because there is no option, it’s not like the lead family can just jet off, likewise those they are in conflict with know that retribution will be total.

Russia is a long time ally, they are the subject matter experts, they will not passively let control of Syria pass, they would already have alternatives scoped out. Hell even America accepts that Syria is a vital Russian interest so will not push too hard.

No, that’s the sucker part, I think the UN and America will,kick in funds for rebuilding, Russia will do fuck all, (to be fair it’s a poor country) but Russia will remain in control, the west won’t buy any influence for its investment.

Ahh sorry, I just reread and got meant you mean, I said invested not in a monetary sense but more in the time and effort and interest sense. It’s my bad to include that when also talking about funding.

Fair enough, when I said interest I meant a nation calculating it’s realtionship to other nations in regard to strategic assessments of influence and self interest.

Not a return on capital. Hope that helps. Joke.

I’ll include that on my next order. It’s a real thing, it’s why Poland keeps winking in an out of existance, why some coasts are important, why forts are built on the remains of old forts. Wellington knew where he could block Napoleon because in that time, there were no other alternatives on the march but more importantly Wellington had seen the area years previously and seen that low ridge as a key feature. It also featured in the Second World War for the same reason, a defensive position on an obvious advance.

Good morning everybody.

21.3°C, 62% RH, 2/8 cloud (low, white, small, scattered), and a light breeze. ORB = 0. BoM predicts 25°c, up from 14.7°C and the slightest chance of rain.

I got cabin hooks on the two new library doors, the verandah degreased, scrubbed and washed (to remove oil drips – not mine, long story). I also got all the door furniture removed from the old doors, so they can now be stacked away for later re-purposing into a double-sided glass nick-nack cabinet.

Today: tackle the cabin hooks on the two new bedroom doors. First, I have to design and make something for the cabin hooks to be screwed onto…

Well last night I almost bought a shitload of brass to make that bridge, but then came to my senses and realised it was far too big for any layout I could fit in this house and I’d have nowhere else to put it either, even while making it, so I would just start making it and then realise these things and pull it to bits and sell it to various brass hats to adorn their hats.

That’s a coincidence. I’m thinking of having a shower then going out and buying a couple sausage rolls for lunch and eating them by the river on this fine-looking day.

Don’t need chocolate this week, that can wait until next week. Gotta buy chicken wings and drumsticks for the dogs on the way too. And something for us for tea.

Take the camera and snap some of the remaining hawthorn.

And buy some beer.

Facebook videos take forever to load on this internet connection which is slower than umpteen% of Australia.

YouChoob is slow but unfortunately Facebook is too slow to even watch.

I have a folding wooden outdoor table that’s 72cm x 72cm. I could set that up in a corner of the bedroom and do a micro layout on that, maybe just on a suitably sized corkboard.

I know lots of nice millenials. But they often have problems getting a job that is full time let alone a job they trained for and acquired a debt to get. They can’t find a place to rent and they can’t envisage putting enough money together for a house deposit. They don’t use facebook too much because that is where all their older rellies hang out. They don’t smoke or drink much and lots of them are vegan or vegetarian. They ride bicycles and walk. And the pollies tell them they are lazy. They are undeserving.

Yeah, I’ve also been quite wobbly. I’m betting this sinus infection hasn’t gone away completely. Maybe I can ring the medical centre and ask them to just prescribe more antibiotics without me having to go in and deal with people?

Oh, mr kii is doing fine – he even went up on the roof yesterday……*rolls eyes * to winterise the cooler. I helped carry the extension ladder and supervised him from the ground. If he’s delayed his healing in anyway I am not responsible as I tried to talk him out of it.

The reason I fancy sausage rolls is that in the IGA the other day there was a little boy eating sausage rolls out of a paper bag, and they smelt really good.

I assume he got them from JJ’s across the road from the IGA. But I seem to remember their sausage rolls being markedly inferior to Banjo’s.

That’s a hearty spice breakfast all cooked and eaten. Chinese-flavours scrambled eggs.

Eggs, chilli, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, munyeroo, parsley, garlic chives. All mixed together, wok cooked and served on toast with a slice of cheddar between the two; the eggs melt the cheese. Prickly oil as a condiment.

Nice. I’m full.

Well last night I almost bought a shitload of brass to make that bridge, but then came to my senses and realised it was far too big for any layout I could fit in this house and I’d have nowhere else to put it either, even while making it, so I would just start making it and then realise these things and pull it to bits and sell it to various brass hats to adorn their hats.

Luckily you came to your senses…

While mystery surrounds Scott Morrison’s sacking from Tourism Australia, a buried audit report shows numerous anomalies and concerns over contracts worth $184 million. By Karen Middleton.

Barry Jones Saving Planet Earth

“It could be argued, depressingly, that there is an inverse relationship between the growth of universities and the level of community engagement in politics. In fact, the level of political discourse was far more sophisticated in 1860s America than it is today in 2018 in either country. Lincoln delivered his famous Gettysburg Address in November 1863 at the dedication of a Civil War cemetery. I have long speculated what Lincoln might have said in 2018. Lincoln’s speech was only 272 words long. My draft here is exactly the same length.”

VicPol has a huge retention problem. As of 2012, more than half the operational officers have less than five years experience. If we look at the numbers on extended leave (sick, maternity, long service etc), modified duties, and patterns of promotion into administrative roles, most of the cops you find on the street will be less than a year in the job.

My son’s ex-g/f was one of the cops involved in a death in custody…the guy shot himself with a gun he had concealed. She was about 2 years in.

Bloody hell. If you know Melbourne you know, and have had a coffee in Pellegrini’s. It’s the shop that started off Melbourne’s coffee culture.

Give them meat FFS, dogs are wolves(except pugs) and need meat, raw meat preferably and marrow.

It was just a random snack. Tonight they had wild apple tree squirrel with chestnut stuffed orcs. With a tuna sauce.

LOL

We just gave the Barely-Domesticated Wolf a lamb brisket bone, fresh from the butcher in Pittsworth.

He’s buried it.

OK, so he likes The Boxer to do a bit of pre-mastication before he has a go. Or perhaps she just “owned” both bones and had a bit of a chew of each before I separated them out again. But he seems to be happy now.

Yes, now that you mention it, eggs were in there, too. Can’t remember if wheat germ got a mention or not, may have done.

cereals were mentioned.

Anyway, after observing that no matter what I tossed them in, the heartworm tablets were still left on the bottom of the licked bowls, So I crushed them and mixed them with honey before stirring everything else in. ;)

“… every person who came to Christ came to Christ with a physical need… People go to God because of a physical need and they walk away with a spiritual need met. That’s the story of the Gospels. And so government has stepped in, at least in this country, and done all the work for the church. And so the person who’s in need — they look to the government for the answer. Not God. And I think, in that way, government has done an injustice that’s even bigger than just the entitlement — creation of an entitlement welfare state. I think it’s even bigger.

It’s the shape they come in….here is a show Pug:

and here is Hei Long:

Hei Long has a bit more chest than that UK one….but all our Boxers have ended up with big chests too, we think it’s the country living and the running around they do from the time they come to live with us.

And the moral of the story is to always photograph a Pug from the side. Front on they are broad in the beam. Just like a little brick with tiny legs stuck in each corner. Especially the blacks. The fawns seem to have longer legs, in general. Although Hei Long’s mother was a fawn, she didn’t pass on the long legs in any way shape or form.

Technically it’s in the entrance area/front room…which is the other end of the kitchen. It’s staying there for the moment.

Think I’ll go kick The Fuchsia Pig around the backyard for Grace, then finish loading the dishwasher. mr kii is on the phone with Mr PTSD who is recovering from shoulder surgery. Apparently he’s amazed at how much it hurts/how long it’s taking to heal…etc etc. He had tendons and things reattached on the 24th.

I had trouble with it at first, but it saved me when we were caring for a puppy that Mr PTSD couldn’t care for (long story). Grace’s crate is big enough for both dogs, and it fits in the tray of the pickup if we have to evacuate. Both girls love the crate and Daisy often sleeps in it during the day.

But now the hummingbird cake is out of the oven. I’ll go and hang out some clothes and sort out the chooks. At about 3.30pm we have to take the dogs to the Pet Resort. Tomorrow we are going to Melbourne.

There is no can in this image.

There was an episode of ‘Band of Brothers’, set during the Battle of the Bulge, where Captain Dick Winters captured a young German soldier who’d emerged from his foxhole or bunker to do a poo, and who hadn’t seen the American (who was having a shave, at the time).

ROYALS BRITISH ARISTOCRACY AND THE NAZIS

SBS tonight 8.30 pm

This programme documents the revealing, surprising, and at times truly bizarre truth behind the active connections and heartfelt support Hitler and his regime enjoyed amongst the British elite – and it reaches up to even the most illustrious of high society. It’s an ugly blemish on the lily-white image of the British upper class, one they’ve worked hard to hide and forget.

Do scientists really think ‘Oumuamua is an alien spaceship?

Harvard professors suggest the cigar-shaped interstellar object that whizzed past the sun last year could be an alien probe.

Name: 1I/2017 U1 ‘Oumuamua.

Meaning: “A messenger that reaches out from the distant past” (in Hawaiian).

Appearance: Dark, reddish, about 400 metres long by 40 metres wide, so roughly the size and shape of a skyscraper.

Age: Maybe a few hundred million years?

You don’t know, do you? No. But ‘Oumuamua is generally mysterious. It was spotted last October whizzing past the sun, too fast to have originated in our solar system. It was declared the first interstellar object ever discovered, before disappearing from view in January.

Cool. It was long and thin, unlike any asteroid or comet seen before. And its surface was carbon-based, not ice or rock. And – get this – after passing the sun, it suddenly sped up. So now some scientists are speculating …

Aliens! Perhaps. In a new paper in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, the Harvard professors Shmuel Bialy and Abraham Loeb discuss a range of theories to explain ‘Oumuamua’s strange behaviour.

I don’t want a range of theories. I want aliens. Settle down. Initially, the acceleration was put down to outgassing.

(Snigger.) When comets pass close to stars, they release gas that can speed them up. No gas was detected from ‘Oumuamua, but it might have been released quite gently.

Silent but violent. Indeed. However, Bialy and Loeb say it could also have been pushed by the sunlight striking it, like a deliberately designed solar sail.

That’s right. Designed by aliens. Of course, it was scanned last year for radio signals, and wasn’t sending any.

They probably use subspace transmission, like on Star Trek. ‘Oumuamua was also tumbling wildly around.

How else would you generate artificial gravity? Nor is it clear why aliens would send a probe that would take millions of years to reach us.

They’re aliens. They live to probe. “One possibility,” the authors suggested, “is that ‘Oumuamua is a light sail, floating in interstellar space as a debris from an advanced technological equipment.”

So it’s piece of broken spaceship? Well … we can’t prove it’s not. Although it is much more likely to be an asteroid, or a comet covered with an irradiated crust. The alien theory really doesn’t have much evidence.

Boo, evidence! I want fun lies. Of course, if it’s an asteroid it might be a splinter of another planet destroyed by an exploding star.

All right. I suppose that’s quite fun, too. Unless there were aliens on the planet at the time.

Do say: “Typical! You finally find an alien probe and the damn thing’s broken.”

Don’t say: “We come in pieces.”

How many people can you actively monitor? It’s not many, not in a realistic way and not for a realistic cost.

Presumably, ‘did not pose a threat to national security’ means he was assessed as unlikely to threaten anyone important, maybe kill a few expendables, that’s all.

Not thought capable of planning and carrying out an attack?

More likely they just decided there wasn’t enough evidence of threat to waste too many resources on him.

Well, he didn’t manage to get any guns or explosives and do a “proper” terrorist attack. (probably not well worded, but you know what I mean)

I said some stuff yesterday about how shooting him was an entirely understandable measure.

The police certainly didn’t resort to that terribly quickly, and it appears (from the video) that they lacked any sort of decent baton with which they might have warded of the knife swings, and perhaps damaged/broken the attacker’s arm.

Something as simple as a stick…

He probably wasn’t connected with other suspects in a way that made him a priority for monitoring, and they didn’t have enough evidence to determine he was planning anything.

So what can you do with people like that? They can’t follow him everywhere for the rest of his life. They know there are potentially large numbers of such people.

Which is why they tell you there will inevitably be some attacks they can’t prevent.

Their government seems to think it’s worth it. Once the development is done, and the systems are in place, it’s all benefit from there on for the peoples’ government – sort of like getting solar power installed..

I’ve woken up to China. I don’t think Chinese economic domination is going to be a benign influence on world affairs.

India will keep them in line.

Indians are hopeless (IME) in building anything of quality within time and budget constraints. I don’t think their culture is as well suited to becoming a world hub of manufactured goods.

Hey, Jo. Sorry to hear about Chilli :(

Thanks Joe… a light kind of went out in my life, although the fog is starting to lift. The kindest decision was the toughest.. Back into the world of work on Monday..

Really sad news of Pellegrini’s Espresso Bar owner Sisto Malaspina, I had a chat with him many many years ago. I recall a lovely man :(

I haven’t been in this year but I used to be quite a regular when I was working up that end of the city.

No it won’t be. But neither was Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, English, American. Each was different. Chinese is different, too.

A sensible question to ask – “Do they love their children?”.

Way back in the 70s, when i listened to Radio Peking’s shortwave signal blasting out of China with so much power that the speech was barely intelligible, they were always on about the ‘American imperialist hegemony’.

These days, it seems that what was once anathema is now policy.

India will keep them in line.

Indians are hopeless (IME) in building anything of quality within time and budget constraints. I don’t think their culture is as well suited to becoming a world hub of manufactured goods.

Interestingly, when I was in East Africa, Indian goods were preferred over Chinese goods (especially small motorbikes, cars, bicycles) because the Indian goods lasted longer and were easier to repair.

Both India and China sold cut-up motorcycle tyres (presumably substandard quality) to be used as re-soling material for thongs and sandals.

India is competing with China in East Africa, each using different systems. Indians do what they know best: they exploit the poor. Many important hotels and businesses are owned by giant Indian corporations. Chinese are “funding” infrastructure (railways etc) in order to be first in line to exploit the (only partially discovered) resources. Both flog their goods mercilessly.

Agree about China not being a place of cheap labour in the not too distant future however the cast system in India might hold that back for quite some time.

Except they didn’t go bang. I heard some of the briefing on the radio today. Seems he turned the gas taps on. But I suspect a little thought might have told him this will dissipate the gas while you are driving to your chosen location.

Even then, they don’t go bang, unless you really tinker with them.

The safety valve blows out long before the tank cooks off, and you get a nice jet of flame, but that’s all.

Mr Arts uncle died from gas bottles exploding in his car. He was a plumber and had a panel van and kept everything in the back. Got in his van one morning started the engine and kaboom.

I am not divorced but if I was I wouldn’t remarry as I don’t see the need to be married per se but rather to be around or with people because I want to be.

Depends on the book..

I married once, divorced once. I would marry again, with the right person.

Not me. If I ever get divorced or lose the husband I would never get married again.

I am not divorced but if I was I wouldn’t remarry as I don’t see the need to be married per se but rather to be around or with people because I want to be.

I have no desire to be married.

Why not? If I may ask..

We only really got married for the kids this time. And that is so far off the table now it’s not even an IKEA special.

You do realise now, I hope, that having kids does not actually rely upon your marital status, that’s just something told to you by idiots.

I was raised with a Mother that always encouraged me with the words “I hope you never get married”, told my friends that “I wasn’t to marry until I was 36”.

I married at 37, it failed 9 years later.. I have never gone over 9-10 years..

However, I really liked being married.

I Married a Monster from Outer Space is a 1958 American black-and-white science fiction film from Paramount Pictures, produced and directed by Gene Fowler Jr., that stars Tom Tryon and Gloria Talbott. Paramount released the film theatrically as a double feature with The Blob.

The film’s storyline concerns a young wife that begins to realize that her husband is not the man he was before they married. He has lost all real affection for her and for his new pet dog, which she gave him as a present. Thereafter, she quickly discovers that he is not the only man in town that appears to have changed. Now suspicious, she follows him one evening when he goes out for a walk and shockingly discovers that her husband is actually an alien humanoid.

Well this is where I’m going to have issues.. I LOVE my own company, living space, life etc..

Love sharing here and there but have the selfishness of having been on my own for a very long time.

Ha.. guess I’m not getting married again any time soon :)

I tend to think it is helpful to be able to happy being on your own and happy is a pair as even the most dedicated couples will most likely in their future will be separated by life as it is rare to live and die the exact time you life partner does.

I think that if I lost Mr arts I would not ever live with anyone again… I am far too independent, Mr Arts gets that.. I don’t know how many others would.. a lot of people are too needy.

My mum had one brief fling after my dad and has ever hooked up with anyone since… dad died in 1986.

I have a friend stay occasionally, about three days is enough for me, I get the shits with coffee cups bring left on the sink, doors being left open and having yo negotiate what TV to watch, the last is especially irritating for me, I have multiple TVs but apparently it is important of an evening to watch the same thing. Happily about three days suits us both so I am able to grit my teeth at coffee cups and maintain a smile.

I sometimes wonder if short term agreements would suit me better. Maybe one or two years on agreed terms, then if you like renew for another term or part according to the “pre-nup”. Sort of a rolling fixed term arrangement.

I always found meeting forum people IRL fun as trying to work out what they were ‘really’ like was a study in humanity. Some people were very similar to their on-line presence, whilst others were polar opposites.

I still laugh about the one and only time I met Alex (I think), she was the extremely quite girl in the corner who was so shy that she’d actually brought a few non-sssf people along as back up just in case she found out that we were all weirdos. There were a few I’ve met over the years who would be the life of the party on the forum yet church mice IRL, and others where the opposite happened.

I still, like Arts, prefer most of you at a distance :)

I still laugh about the one and only time I met Alex (I think), she was the extremely quite girl in the corner who was so shy that she’d actually brought a few non-sssf people along as back up just in case she found out that we were all weirdos. There were a few I’ve met over the years who would be the life of the party on the forum yet church mice IRL, and others where the opposite happened.

I still, like Arts, prefer most of you at a distance :)

I think meeting me was the highlight.. after that.. meh

Mr Arts and I were just discussing this forum earlier, sitting outside together over a beer… I was telling him about Stumpy and how it’s weird that I feel like I will miss a friend I’ve never met.
He said that it’s understandable because we (the forum) do actually spend a lot of time together.. I said that it’s my favourite way of socializing, because you can walk away at any moment and no-one gets upset about that.. you just pick up where you left off the next time…

Bugger…I’ve got something in my eyes again.

I think you may be having another heart attack, you are getting soft..

I’ve always been soft and cuddly.

I’m glad someone wants to do it. It isn’t for me. But yes. I’ll billet you. There’s a lot of people that walk it. No shame in studying the map and working out a few places to gather yourself.

I’ve met quite a lot of SSSF people who didn’t migrate to the Holiday Forum.

Of the posters here, probably not much more than half a dozen.

The poster I’ve had most “real life”* interaction with would be sarahs mum.

*but let’s remember, the forum is “real life” too :)

At a meeting of n inlaws at the dinner table there will be n/2+1 conversations going at once. I find it all too overwhelming and have to seek solitude. At a pud on the other hand, I can be almost garrulous.

I think it was him. He wrote some code, so we all had to post in the thread in some specified format, and then his code made a big network chart of it.

Since Sarah is the last on the list, you may be interested to know that Missy was one of only two people to turn up at Sarah’s last birthday party. Now the two of them are considering the idea of sharing a house.

So the extension would be:

Her actual handle was “Tong Tied”, a combination of her love of BBQs (tongs) and a sarcastic reference to her nonstop chatting.

Fuck me, my YouTube walk of songs has conjured up Lighning Crashes, no idea how it did that but it was a nice memory, that for some reason was the song dejour at Bandiana, it played every third song or so.

And rage tonght is rubbish. Back in the day you would have rage parties anyway, you had no clue what song was coming up next and if you felt weary that was the impetus to last just three minutes more, enough of those and you saw the Windows brightening with sunrise. Happy days.

Moreover that was your only chance to see the film clips, no such thing as looking it up on the iPad as I am doing.

Good morning everybody.

221.°C, 70% RH, 4/8 cloud (thick, dark, low, southern half of sky) and light breezes. ORB = trace. BoM predicts 26°C tops and little chance of rain.

Very pleased. Last night for a little while at 10 o’clock, the sky was incredibly clear: no clouds and no haze. Thought – it’s November, probably should be able to see Andomeda from the back yard. Yep could see Pegasus (the big “square”). Checked internet and used this:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2016-12-01/december-sky-guide/8075700

to observe. Checked with binoculars (it’s faint and I may have been kidding myself) and sure enough, the galaxy could be easily discerned. Grabbed Mrs V and she too could see Andromeda. It’s the most distant object one can see with the naked eye (2.401 × 10^19 km or 2.537 million light years away). And she observed it too.

I have seen Andromeda from Cloncurry district and from the back yard here (a couple of months ago at 3:30 am – Mrs V wasn’t interested at that time). Now we have both seen it. I didn’t think we’d get a November or December (gentleman’s hours) viewing because of summer humidity/clouds/haze. Most pleased.

Now assembled. Thinly sliced onion, Surprise Bay cheddar + Rhub & Barb’s fine zucchini relish, Banjo’s white sourdough, buttered

Now to plug in the Sunbeam sandwich toasteriser which I have’t used since the move (keep forgetting I have it).

Hmm, no wonder I haven’t used it – I can’t find it :/

Found, in the cupboard of the smallest dresser.

Praise the Lord.

Hey, sarahs mum

i’ve started listening to a series of podcasts by Scots comedian Susal Calman, about depression.

Now, i don’t know much about your background, other than what i glean from these pages, but this one made me think you might like it:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06bw0rf

There’s some little bits that you can write off as twaddle, but there’s also several bits about self-confidence that resonated with me, and some bits about self-confidence and art that you might like.

early dinner done, it was scrambled eggs on toast, though the eggs were very moderately scrambled, in fact you could question if it qualified as scrambled, and ask when is an egg really scrambled. A philosophical question for some other day perhaps.

Labor promises plebiscite on Australia becoming a republic if it wins government

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/nov/11/labor-promises-vote-on-australia-becoming-a-republic-if-it-wins-government

More excitement.

Opinion polls show support for a republic remains high, with an Essential poll in May finding 52.4% of Australians want to remove the nation from the British monarchy.

That’s not high, the support for gay marriage was high, this is line ball and probably within the error bars.

Yes, but the article is stating that support for a republic is high, it’s not, so why lie about it. I’m a staunch republican but that doesn’t mean that everyone, or even close to a majority, think the same way I do. The article is just disingenuous.

Why not just withdraw Australia from international cricket for two , three, maybe four years. Ditch all the bunnies they currently have signed up, go out and recruit a whole new lot, and give them a couple of years of solid training in how to play as a team, and then…?

Yes. We do quite a lot of “own frame” jobs. But be warned. Many places won’t do it these days. It is definitely worth asking. And if refused, question why. Sometimes the frame is simply worn out and we refuse. If the patient is determined, we will do it on the proviso that if the lab refuses base on the condition of the frame, or if the frame breaks in fitting, it is Not Our Fault and the patient bears the cost of second set of lenses.

Squares seems more likely. 100 square feet or 9-point-something square metres to a square. About 550 m^2 which seems reasonable for this sort of house.

More me, if I had the money I’d build something brand new and ultra-modern.

60 square metres is smaller than a tennis court, but they’re estate agents, not Einstein.

It’s expressions of interest. Really got no idea. I know that house quite well, some friends of ours used to live there. I’ve had my dog running up an down the hall with their dog some years ago. But I never realized how much land they had with it. My father also photographed it perhaps 40 years ago when it was derelict.

No way. For a big mansion, I’d like to build a glass dome or at least a semicircular arch roof (maybe a bit like an old Victorian railway station) and fill the inside with various pods each of which is a room, with an indoor garden in between.

No way. For a big mansion, I’d like to build a glass dome or at least a semicircular arch roof (maybe a bit like an old Victorian railway station) and fill the inside with various pods each of which is a room, with an indoor garden in between.

Fair enough but I’d need to see detailed plans and artist’s impressions.

Ha. I’m not that good.

Maybe one day you’ll see it on Grand Designs.

But the house would be so big I’d have to recruit some other people to live there.

Anyone want to buy a huge old house?

How much do they want?

It’s expressions of interest. Really got no idea. I know that house quite well, some friends of ours used to live there. I’ve had my dog running up an down the hall with their dog some years ago. But I never realized how much land they had with it. My father also photographed it perhaps 40 years ago when it was derelict.

The kitchen is a bit sparse and I’m not sure many now days would enjoy cooking on an Aga type stove.

I’d like a bosky that runs on fuel and and electricity, with a griddle top, a wet back and some heaters.

It’s a commercial kitchen. It has a proper modern stove and oven as well. It had to be commercial for the B&B and catering, an cooking class operations the current people run. Who we also know.

Hi Katharine

Interesting and earnest analysis. It’s all about politics and not about beliefs and the National good. Mr Morrison’s life in his own bubble, ignorant of the electorate and its needs. About a man happy to put children and adults into concentration camps. About Australia’s own Trump lite.

A man trying a reverse Robin Hood – enriching the rich at the expense of the less well off.

A man willing to dump people and ideas and moral codes that obstruct his path to power. Mr Morrison is merely Mr Dutton with greater strategic skills.

A man willing to risk the future of his children for his ambition

Its all about this latest liberal ‘leader’ incarnation

So what about looking instead at the greatest constant of the past 6 years, the man who will hopefully become our next PM?

Bill Shorten

Forget looking at the past and murky present.

Forget ex PM Mr Turnbull, narcissistically justifying his inconsequential period as leader, saying that his main, his only, aim was to keep Mr Shorten out of government.

Ignore the inhumane, incompetent Mr Dutton who says we must keep Mr Shorten from becoming PM

Go past the plastically remanufactured Mr Morrison, Trumpian cap and tortured strine and little else in his knapsack, declaiming that Mr Shorten would be disaster

I recollect that our own sergeant Schultz sniper in chief Mr Abbott, when looking at the carnage he’s caused to his own side, when asked why he shot so many of his colleagues replied without irony that he was aiming at Mr Shorten

I cringe at the earnestly innumerate Mr Frydenberg who contends that Mr Shorten would wreck the economy

In his stumbling rationale for deposing Mr Turnbull, Mr Corman describes an apocalyptic scenario should Mr Shorten lead Australia

Then in a conga line of the hopelessly overrated;

The Burke and Hare spectre of Mr Hunt, the overshrill Ms Cash, the Rottweillian Ms O’Dwyer, the maritally challenged Mr Joyce, the invisible Mr McCormack, the prancingly vapid Mr Pyne, the silently stewing Mr Porter, the risible Mr Birmingham , the painful Ms Payne, the flighty Ms Ley, the marked down Ms Price and the other pretenders to the conservative throne. In them I detect the refrain:

“ We don’t know what we’re for, who should lead us or why or how to tie up our own shoelaces but we’re against Mr Shorten!!”

When I look at their qualities, their collective intelligence (que?), their visions for yesterday’s future, their commitment to whichever lobbyist wants to rent them by the hour, their awesome misjudgements of what’s good for Australia, their warped ethics, their preaching at the altar of coal, their absent altruism and mindless prattlings there’s only one conclusion I can reach:

If Mr Shorten is on the other side of their rickety fence then I need him to become PM

To be the devil incarnate to this bunch of misfits, misanthropes and mirrorless narcissistic buffoons he must have real potential

Let’s concentrate on a genuine leader, not on the big 3 Liberal moral and political failures

Mr Shorten

Yea, it’s great, 950 lumens is more than enough IMO, plus it’s shock proof and somewhat waterproof (IPX8).

Uses 18650 batteries so I’ve picked lights for my bike etc that also use the same batteries (from the same company)…

Australian First Aid. But this literacy and numeracy unit was outsourced. I don’t know to whom. Apparently they were not impressed with the outsourcer when Mr buffy turned up.

The same thing that has been with drunken cranes for at least 40 years, probably longer. When operated close to their specified working limit, it only takes a small deviation from proper operating conditions to make them fall over.

So, I went and spent some time at Dymocks. I bought “Norse Mythology” (Neil Gaiman), “The Lathe of Heaven” (Ursula le Guin) and “Bedlam. London and its Mad” (Catharine Arnold).

Bar-stewards!

Certificate of completion is not a certificate of competency, which will be issued after the practical component. The certificate of completion will need to be presented to the practical trainer.

All trainer / assessors are required to update the LLN (Language, Literacy, Numeracy) Unit of their Cert IV before 1/4/19, so their employers can continue to pay lip service to the regulations and make a mockery of the ‘Foundation Skills’ requirements of trainees.

In the case of First Aid trainers, the package says ‘Foundation skills essential to performance are explicit in the performance criteria of this unit of competency.’ – So if a student can count to thirty and read the label on a bottle of tablets, they’re all good. It takes an 8-hour course to assess that, apparently.

It’s a bit warm to wander around out in the city and not being shoppers of note,there’s not much point in doing that.

I’ve been trying to find out about my grandfather’s war efforts, after the records told me he had been in both WW1 and the Kokoda Track. I hadn’t been able to find much about where he had been in WW1. But a couple of weeks ago I found a letter he had written about his experience at Pozieres, which had been published in a local paper in 1916, on Trove. Amazing, and very poignant to hear his voice 102 years later. I only heard him refer to both wars twice when we were kids, and only fleetingly.

Do you know his army number? I’m pretty sure you can look details up at the Australian War Memorial site – here:

https://www.awm.gov.au/learn/schools/resources/research-a-soldier

You might not even have to know his ID. I haven’t used the site for a while, I’ve forgotten the details.

Does anyone feel like we could have had a better memorial to Armistice in Aus? Chucking a bunch of money to the war memorial in Canberra is something but it didn’t inspire the country in the way that the above does. Abbott had already spent a bunch of the budget in France back then. He thought a museum a better tribute because he felt the Australian people could get bored with the anniversaries of WW1 events. We didn’t get the country involved in whooping and noise making like the kiwis did. We didn’t plant a million trees in something we should be doing anyway probably.

At least we didn’t have the Trumpian vision.

My best mate tracked down his grandfather’s service in WW1 and there were a few surprises. He’d enlisted at 16 under a false name, ended up overseas and was fighting when the Army found out his true identity, so they threw him out. Accepted him a year or so later under his own name.

The medical records indicate that he somehow, in very mysterious circumstances, had contracted VD – twice:)

If ruby is still about, some reading here if you follow the links through.

https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C1417143

When I get home I’ll try to remember to give you the name of a book I found extremely valuable when I was tracing back info on Mr buffy’s Dad. I had his service history, so then I looked for information about the particular units named. He was 2/3 field artillery. Lots of them were killed on Crete and he went to the 2/4. At the end of the war he was a commandant at Hay prisoner of war camp. So we had quite a lot to go on with. We did have some difficulties with a gap in his record. To this day we do not know where he was for a short period of time. He told the family he was in New Guinea at some point, but it does not appear on his record. Perhaps he was doing something secret at that time as he had climbed the ranks a bit by then.

I also spent a day at the war memorial in Canberra in the library. I presume you can still do that….I wrote ahead and ordered what I wanted to read and they just handed me the stuff when I got there.

I felt like Hail, Caesar! was an hour and forty minutes so they could use the ‘You really come here too often’ gag in the confessional.

Reviewers seem to agree that L.G. is rather better than anyone had expected, but that her performance is the movie’s only saving grace, with most other aspects falling woefully short of the mark..

I don’t recommend the new A Star is Born.

why not?

It’s like a first year screenwriter took The Big Book of Movie Cliches and thought, “hey, these are really great ideas!” And then wrote terrible dialogue.

I didn’t like Bradley Cooper in it, but Gaga was surprisingly good, as is the music.

you would expect that fro gaga

Her DNA was on one of the punnets that a needle was found in apparently but I’d guess the prosecutions case is stronger than that.

Eucalypts grow very, very fast in California, because the insects there didn’t co-evolve with the trees. Nothing auto-prunes them, because the leaves are toxic. (The smelly oils in eucalypt leaves are in effect, insecticides.)

The news article said that the strawberry industry was ‘brought to it’s knees’ but, after the initial scare, people rallied around and they probably sold more than normal… (Also I thought that it was propagated by them initially to sell more strawberries)

So x/0.5549 multiplied by 0.04 (which is the 4 percent).

It’s not like the ones you get in pubs and the like where they ask you if you want mushroom sauce or pepper sauce and the like it’s cooked with peppers and other lovely ingredients.

Weirdest decor, but best Greek food in Melbourne.

:-)

Stalactites is the one everyone knows. And it’s a bit of a hike up to Lambs in Lygon street. There is another one along from stalactites that is a very 1960s type place that we have been to before. Might go there again.

No. It only does it once per dose, rather than sitting with the lid off all day and night though.

Go on a heather mowing holiday to Scotland then relax in the sun on the Amalfi coast.

No, we won’t be travelling. I’m not interested and Mr buffy cannot tolerate sitting on a plane for a great length of time. We will do the Ghan at some point in the next couple of years. But we have our own bush and we are close to Gariwerd (the Grampians). And the beaches are close to the South of us. We won’t need to travel. And I am no shopper and don’t need crowds.

Tsindos is probably the place you’re thinking of. Better than stalactite IMHO.

Fair enough but travel does broaden the mind however sitting on a plan for 24 hours being plied with food broadens the arse.

Gee, PWM, when were you last on a plane? The early ’60s?

On only a very few occasions have i flown first class. There, the food is certainly adequate in quantity and quality.

In other classes, i’ve always found that barley sufficient rations of base-line quality are dispensed just barely often enough to ward off riots by the hoi-polloi.

I find the smell of the food being heated enough to put me off eating. I usually eat the bread roll and the dessert.

I’ll put this here rather than the Solar Energy Storage thread.
I’ve fond that off grid solar works well as long as you know it’s limitations, you do need a genny backup.
But on normal sunny days it provides all the power I need at the redoubt.
One drawback I’ve found is that no matter how much solar arrays you have the controller will power up the batteries to a certain level then it goes into float mode and takes forever to lift the batteries to their optimum level of charge. Be ok if you leave them hooked up when I’m not here but I don’t like doing that and I have old PWM controllers.
I’m going to upgrade to MPT controllers soon.
But all in all it does work surprisingly well.

The dozen or so flights I’ve been on in the last year have all had plenty of food, but you have to pay extra for it – No freebies.

Brisbane-Sydney, i can do without the airline food. It’s an hour or so, i won’t starve to death.

Longer domestic flying – probably eat before getting on the plane, so there’s not that awkward struggle with the tray table and packets and little dishes etc.

International – Yeah, gonna have to go for the food, but it’s just going to be fuel for for the physiology.

just don’t drive off with it connected.

Konigsdam is a Holland-America Line ship.

HAL have a roller coaster reputation. They can go from being fabulous to being duds to being fabulous again all within a few years. Usually have good ships, but the staffing and operation can get terrible reviews sometimes. HAL is very popular with Americans, but that partly because HAL has been in the Northa American market forever so it has a ‘traditional’ rep, and because Amercians just don’t know any better.

A lady at work travelled up the Norwegian coast as a passenger on a freighter. Got to go to ports that cruise liners don’t go to, and she said it was fab, but you have to make allowances (e.g. you might arrive somewhere at 3:00 am, and then be off again at 2:00 pm.)

HAL have a roller coaster reputation. They can go from being fabulous to being duds to being fabulous again all within a few years. Usually have good ships, but the staffing and operation can get terrible reviews sometimes. HAL is very popular with Americans, but that partly because HAL has been in the Northa American market forever so it has a ‘traditional’ rep, and because Amercians just don’t know any better.

A lady at work travelled up the Norwegian coast as a passenger on a freighter. Got to go to ports that cruise liners don’t go to, and she said it was fab, but you have to make allowances (e.g. you might arrive somewhere at 3:00 am, and then be off again at 2:00 pm.)

Hey my wife used to work for HAL in Sydney. She said they were upmarket and their prices reflected that. We’ve always cruised P&O around here and found them really good, but on a trip in the US booked a HAL ship from Boston to Montreal.

I was expecting luxury but it was actually a little worse than P&O out of Sydney. Still the clientele was “stately” and I met one of my favourite authors on the boat so all was not lost. I think at around 30yo we were the youngest people on the boat, which is probably why we got an invite to one of the captain’s soirees.

You get aboard, unpack once, and it’s all someone else’s problem after that.

You will not ever get me on a boat. Cruises seem to me to sound like some living hell.

i agree. and no way to escape.

You could sneak off in a lifeboat.

If you could rely on there being decent quality passengers it would be tolerable. I’d imagine many cruises are packed out with bogans.

I think there’s a lot of variation in cruises – Everything from single night luxury ships to continuous cruises on a freighter. I’ve only been on a couple, and they didn’t really suit me personally, but for people who can’t or wont fly (or any of a dozen other reasons), I can see how they would be a god-send.

It’s miserable if you don’t get seasick. Apart from one trip on the old ship where we sat on deck chairs and played gitar and sang songs all night.

I did have one trip with Brett and Sarah and the girls. Brett and the girls were sick. Other people being sick is also awful.

But apparently the state is only responsible for about 5% of forest control or something. It’s mostly his federal lot responsible. He just doesn’t bother to find out the facts before mouthing off.

I think it may be a touch more sophisticated than that. If Trump quickly and aggressively blames “the others”, those that hate Trump will continue to hate. Those that like Trump will agree, and have a satisfying story about the wicked Californian government.

On a doco about bridges they had changing the lanes on I think the Golden Gate. It was a custom made machine that picked up dividers at the front and fed them out the back on the other side. What had once been an expense and time consuming operation could be done by one person in the time it took to slowly drive over the bridge.

Wiki says: The bridge has a series of overhead gantries which indicate the direction of flow for each traffic lane. A green arrow pointing down to a traffic lane means the lane is open. A flashing red “X” indicates the lane is closing, but is not yet in use for traffic travelling in the other direction. A static red “X” means the lane is in use for oncoming traffic. This arrangement was introduced in the 1990s, replacing a slow operation where lane markers were manually moved to mark the centre median.

That’s what i thought it was, but i needed a confirmation, and it saved me typing it all out.

And Trump, sullen about not being the absolute centre of attention in France, blamed the Californian state government and said because they wasted forestry money they will be having the supply of Federal money turned off.

tnuc.

228 missing. Yikes. Either the fires were terrible or someone is really bad at counting.

I have no problems at all with a state funeral for him. I’ve never been to Pellegrini’s (and to be honest, I’ve always associated the name with a now non existant Catholic supplies shop near St Francis’s in Lonsdale Street) but I understand people’s love for such a longstanding business in such a prominent place.

what i want.

best option: buy the land. Unlikely as ARC Infrastructure, ex Brookfield, don’t want to split their leases. they run the rolling stock for freight here. But the lithium mine at greenbushes is ramping up and there is talk about reopening the rail line. maybe the govt could o some arm twisting to get them to come to the party. unlikely.

Second option: Proper lease for a goodly time. Ability to pass the lease on to the buyer of my place when i get too old to live here. reasonable rent increases or none as they don’t do anything to keep the places safe, ie firebreaks on adjoining properties or weed control. we do all that.

this would give me reason to do the place up as i could at least recoup some monies. the place is 130 yo and one of the oldest buildings in the area.

Three days later, in conversation with board director Donny Walford, who was acting as Ms Guthrie’s executive coach, the former managing director made a claim that Mr Milne had engaged in inappropriate behaviour.

You’re the managing director of the national broadcaster and you need an executive coach?

there is a lot carnage from the wild fires of the US. Quite scary how many houses and people evacuated that is if the broadcast figures are close enough to the true amount of people affected.

I had a boss for a few months who had a “life coach”. He was a fat and ugly old man, she was a reportedly a younger woman from Brazil, and reportedly very attractive. I never met her but she turned up to a company dinner with him, and would stay in a hotel room next door to him. Everyone else thought they were just having a plain old affair, but he insisted they weren’t. Anyhow he only lasted for a few months before getting sacked.

A brief history of when trains ran on air

Isambard Kingdom Brunel was and is one of the most celebrated engineers ever to have lived. There’s a London university named after him, statues commemorating him across the UK, and many of the tunnels and bridges he built are still in use today. He designed London’s Paddington station, built the first transatlantic steamship powered by propellers, and was chief engineer of the Great Western Railway, which connected the capital to distant parts of England and Wales. His legacy isn’t just one of achievements, though. He is also renowned for his involvement in one failed project in particular: Brunel’s atmospheric railway (or “caper,” as it’s sometimes called). Cars on the line — officially, the South Devon Railway — had no on-board engines, as they were driven by air pressure alone. But the design of the system was ultimately flawed. Within a year of service starting, atmospheric propulsion on the South Devon Railway was quickly abandoned.

When I get home I’ll try to remember to give you the name of a book I found extremely valuable when I was tracing back info on Mr buffy’s Dad. I had his service history, so then I looked for information about the particular units named. He was 2/3 field artillery. Lots of them were killed on Crete and he went to the 2/4. At the end of the war he was a commandant at Hay prisoner of war camp. So we had quite a lot to go on with. We did have some difficulties with a gap in his record. To this day we do not know where he was for a short period of time. He told the family he was in New Guinea at some point, but it does not appear on his record. Perhaps he was doing something secret at that time as he had climbed the ranks a bit by then.

I also spent a day at the war memorial in Canberra in the library. I presume you can still do that….I wrote ahead and ordered what I wanted to read and they just handed me the stuff when I got there.

Big thanks Buffy for this. Lots of really interesting information to delve into. I spent an hour this morning on an overview of Australia’s preparation for being invaded. I’ll get back into it later tonight.

A state funeral is more of a symbolic thing in this case. A way of downplaying the offender and remembering the victim in a more public manner. It’s quite clever considering one of the reasons a terrorist (assuming they are considering this a terrorist attack) does the act and claims it.

I’ll try my best. Just as I was headed to bed last night I got a message from a fellow student who has slipped a disc and hasn’t been at uni for the last four weeks asking for help, so I quickly typed out some notes for them to refine their study to what is necessary.. I did them all by memory then checked, I remembered almost all of the very important points, so I’m feeling cautiously confident about this one. :)

I’d totally accept a state funeral. Someone else pays, does most of the arrangements with little input from me, gives me some space to grieve knowing I don’t have the added stress of dealing with funeral shit.

A state funeral is more of a symbolic thing in this case. A way of downplaying the offender and remembering the victim in a more public manner. It’s quite clever considering one of the reasons a terrorist (assuming they are considering this a terrorist attack) does the act and claims it.

Or a method of dog-whistling potential Islamophobes…

Ms Obama also said she would “never forgive” Mr Trump for casting doubt over her husband’s citizenship.

Mr Trump had been an outspoken promoter of the “birther” conspiracy that Mr Obama was born outside the US and therefore ineligible to be president.

Ms Obama said Mr Trump’s comments had put her family in danger.

“What if someone with an unstable mind loaded a gun and drove to Washington?” she says in audio of the book.

“What if that person went looking for our girls?

“Donald Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family’s safety at risk. And for this, I’d never forgive him.”

Mr Trump responded to the criticism, accusing Ms Obama of trying to drive book sales with “controversy”.

“She got paid a lot of money to write a book and they always insist that you come up with controversy,” Mr Trump said.

“I’ll give you a little controversy back, I’ll never forgive for what he did to our US military. It was depleted … and I had to fix it.”

You have to hand it to Trump, in this case he is right. Obama slaughtered defense spending. During his terms in office the defense spending proportion of the total budget fell as low as 16%. The horror.

I don’t believe he cares about the military. I do think he cares about the gun lobby and weapons manufacturers.

Nice investment property if the price is right.
It would kill the Air B&B market, no 4×4 required.
150 acres is not enough for any serious cattle but you could run a few horses and some Highland cattle to keep the pasture down.

I don’t think I’ll bother with that garden at all except perhaps at night in summer.

Darkness will transform it into a more private place and I can have some meals out there in the cool of the evening.

I remember camping at glengarry with the girl guides in bell tents. With the sides rolled up they were very pleasant. It was always raining at Glengarry. When we arrived the tents were already up because you couldn’t pack them away when they were wet and so the last campers would depart without taking them down. We would camp for a few days or a week and leave them up because they would have got wet again in the meantime. We used to make tripods and pack racks and other furniture with sticks and string and square lashings.

‘Bourke Street driver James Gargasoulas found guilty of murder

On the penultimate day of the trial, Gargasoulas was called as the defence’s only witness and told the jury he’d had a premonition from God of running people over in Bourke Street, about half an hour before he drove there. ‘ – ABC News

Well, i got that one right.

Several days back, i suggested that he’d go for the ‘God told me to’ line, and he did.

I had an opal mine at New Glengarry (the old field), not to be confused with Old Glengarry (the new field). Between the Glengarry Opal Fields was the Sheepyards Rush.

Well, i got that one right.

Several days back, i suggested that he’d go for the ‘God told me to’ line, and he did.

cognitive distortions are not a defense.. sound like he wants to try for NGRI

They’ve not had much luck treating his schizophrenia from what I’ve read.

that’s because at some stage we are going to realise that schizophrenia is more than one condition. We got a bunch of loonies in a basket with one label on it atm and we should probably be sorting them out further.

I had an ice chest identical to that one, (or very nearly so) for many years. I used it as an extra cupboard in the kitchen and a place to put the typewriter on. The (1934 Imperial) typewriter was used (and still is used) for the shopping list.

Because the typewriter looks nice, and it works, and the type is readable, whereas handwriting is sometimes illegible. We just add things to the list as we use them up or when we think of something new.

It’s now in cooling mode and even though the lowest temp setting is 18 degrees, it’s blowing out pleasingly cool air.

Neighbour who idolises Brett and hasn’t bothered to ask how I am for the last 3 years has just sent me a group facebook message asking all the ladies on the hill out for a walk this afternoon. The message pops up as ‘a person i don’t know’ because hey, she has never requested to be my friend and vice versa. *bites lip *controls self

Hate it when people are polite socially…when they think they have to be..

I sent a polite message of no thank you.

I did want to turn on the cynicism mode and let fly..but it would be wasted.

Of course she could’ve been scared to talk for fear of upsetting you.

And roughie would probably like Brett too.

There is actually a bunch of people who were initially ‘my friends’ who think I am to blame for Brett leaving me and haven’t talked to me since. But roughie is right in that they never lived with him.

What did he do for a living if you don’t mind me asking?

Mostly he did stuff and fell apart physically. When i met him he was a farrier with tendonitis in both wrists and both elbows. He had a number of short lived jobs while we were together. The longest was the candle making business and the Salamanca stall we both ran. Where I did most of the work. And it was sold when my brain broke down and he stuffed his achilles really really badly.

He grew up in high desert USA. He was a very accurate shot/hunter. Could wrangle cattle. Could break horses. Came to Aus and worked on his father’s horse stud/some cropping/haymaking. Married Sue and moved up the midlands and farmed sheep and helped run riding school.

He was broken when I got him.

Pellegrini’s co-owner Nino Pangrazio shows off photographs to Victorian opposition leader Matthew Guy (L) and prime minister Scott Morrison as the coffee house reopens after the Bourke Street attack, in which co-owner Sisto Malaspina was killed.

Cafe patron, Ian Kelly, didn’t think the pair’s visit was in good taste.

“They can’t help themselves, can they?” he told the Guardian Australia.

Janet Stockley, who was also waiting to sign the condolence book, agreed.

“It’s inappropriate,” she said.

Nonetheless, Pangrazio said he was grateful for the politicians’ whirlwind visit.

“It was great honour, for me and also a great honour in the rememberance of Sisto,” he said. “Both of them had very kind words.”

I heard that on the news on the radio in the car. I’ll find it appropriate only if they were previous customers of some standing. Otherwise it is inappropriate politics.

For the Victorian branch not a great day…no; but really, someone was a dickhead 5 or 10 years ago and we should hang them out to dry? Then again when you have the passage “Mr McAlpine said that in 2012 he moved overseas to escape the culture of toxic masculinity and cheap humour that dominated hip hop culture” I’m thinking bullshit.

In that article it says Bunnings “suggest onions should go under the sausage” It’s not a demand.

I’ve done a couple of Bunnings sausage sissles and the staff are great. Bunnings provide the barbeques, free gas, put up the shelters for you and pack it down for you at the end of the day. ‘kin good show if you ask me.

( Also we raised a fair wedge of cash selling about 1000 snags.)

It’d be a good full time job. The school committee got snags donated free, we just bought bread and soft drinks so it was a good profit margin.

Now, it may be that she is ‘exam stressed’ but surely a cup of tea, a bex powder and a good lie down would suffice. .

>Head gasket?

that’d pressurize your cooling system more, usually shows as water out the overflow pipe near the radiator cap (if take it out of recycle container), or if you run it with the cap off you’ll see bubbles rising to the top (if filled near enough top with coolant).

Crack?

probably should check your sump oil has no water in it, if worried about that sort of thing, level and colour, drop it out if in doubt. Refill it too, don’t want an episode like in I can jump puddles, or wherever that story/joke came from.

lean might mean lean fuel/air mixture, and leaning an engine out when working hard can make them run hot, as can a few other things.

So that’s what I can expect in 8 years? Maybe I won’t bother, and can keep the new job until retirement (which, ftr, is more than 8 years away!)

Nope, you might spend 20 years working 80 hours a week before you go broke – it’s still better than having a real job.

In a tweet posted on 10 November, the US president blamed California’s “gross mismanagement of the forests” for the damage caused by the wildfires in northern and southern California. He implied that federal funding would be withdrawn if the situation was not rectified.

In a post on his website, Young responded: “California is vulnerable – not because of poor forest management as DT (our so-called president) would have us think. We are vulnerable because of climate change; the extreme weather events and our extended drought is part of it.”

Mechanic question for Bill and Mick and anyone else who wants to have a go – Before I go doing anything silly like spending actual money:

Engine management computer is reporting a ‘Lean’ fault.
Temperature is running high, but unstable as hell.
Thermostat and water pump seem OK.
Thin smear of very dark oil observed in the Thermostat housing.

Head gasket? Crack?

>Head gasket?

that’d pressurize your cooling system more, usually shows as water out the overflow pipe near the radiator cap (if take it out of recycle container), or if you run it with the cap off you’ll see bubbles rising to the top (if filled near enough top with coolant).

Crack?

probably should check your sump oil has no water in it, if worried about that sort of thing, level and colour, drop it out if in doubt. Refill it too, don’t want an episode like in I can jump puddles, or wherever that story/joke came from.

lean might mean lean fuel/air mixture, and leaning an engine out when working hard can make them run hot, as can a few other things.

Thank you for the reply, transition. I’ve covered those bases – was really wondering whether there might be another explanation.

never mind the US Prez…

jesus christ on a pogo stick: In breaking news of national significance, the iconic Bunnings sausage sizzle has been snagged by red tape overkill.

Like safety warnings on peanut packets advising they may contain traces of nuts or hot content cautions on coffee cups, modern society’s overly cautious nature has the humble warehouse chain’s iconic fundraiser in its sights.

A new occupational health and safety requirement has shaken up how the quintessentially Australian delicacy of a barbecued sausage in bread is to be constructed.

Specifically, the new rule — which will apply to all stores nationally — tackles the apparent dangers posed by a few bits of fried onion.

A “travel lid” was announced on Veterans Day indicating that Pence and Trump will not leave the White House for the rest of the day. It is the first Veterans Day since 1991 that has not seen either the President or Vice President attend the ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

This is a fundamentally misguided strategy. They really should be encouraging people to leave out the onion. If that doesn’t work, use onion powder. If that doesn’t cut the mustard, increase the size of the napkin. If that doesn’t work, use signs, reminders, and teach people to keep the onion on the bread. Only when all of these measures fails, should one consider requiring shoppers to wear non-slip footwear.

(shrugs) It’s hard to imagine anyone seriously has an objection to Bunnings changing the way to put together their sausage sandwiches. This kind of change is not unusual. How do people survive when Subway issue memos on sauce? Do they go fucking nuts over at the Grauniad? How did anyone think this was news?

CNN has filed a lawsuit against President Trump and several of his aides, seeking the immediate restoration of chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta’s access to the White House.

The lawsuit is a response to the White House’s suspension of Acosta’s press pass, known as a Secret Service “hard pass,” last week. The suit alleges that Acosta and CNN’s First and Fifth Amendment rights are being violated by the ban.
The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday morning.
Both CNN and Acosta are plaintiffs in the lawsuit. There are six defendants: Trump, chief of staff John Kelly, press secretary Sarah Sanders, deputy chief of staff for communications Bill Shine, Secret Service director Joseph Clancy, and the Secret Service officer who took Acosta’s hard pass away last Wednesday. The officer is identified as John Doe in the suit, pending his identification.

But is that going to affect my relatives. You knnow, the people I leave behind. If I believe the medical profession: then min and most people’s organs aren’t worth collecting because that’s why we are dead.
Our organs were diseased.

What good is my liver if it is already 50% compromised? What good are my eyes if I can’t see very well with them and so forth.

and tracking after I am dead will upset others, not necessarily me.

iirc it was around $100-$110 including postage, x1 2600mAh 18650 and a charger, it may have gone up since – I bought it 2 years ago.

Hmmmm… I picked one up for $90 (inc. post) from Lightmalls.com, but have since read a warning from Fenix that it might be counterfeit. Think I’ll e-mail them and ask whether there’s any way to tell.

That’s about right without the charger I think. I used an Australian online shop, I’d have to dig around for the details.

Some days back, i posted a link to the story of Daniel Inouye, a Japanese-American who fought in WW2. Despite being shot through the abdomen, and having half his right arm blown off, he continued to fight, single-handedly overwhelming machine gun positions, and refusing to be evacuated until proper defences had been organised.

Must be something genetic.

There’s a podcast from ‘The Infinite Monkey Cage’ about birds, which features a very smart raven. I bet he could learn the alphabet.

Dennis always charges too much, because he knows he’ll probably not see you again for years so it’s his only chance.

He always finds that you need many more things done to your gob than you thought, to encourage you to visit him again, soon and often.

My dennis charges like a wounded bull but he’s good.
Swears like a trooper, his room is like the bridge of the starship Enterprise with things that go beep and the best drugs.
However now that I’ve got a concession card I can get it all done for free, apparently.
Probably have to wait 6 months to get seen by a work experience kid dennis though.

Time to crack a cold cider.

What’s your fave cider?

Have you tried Mercury or Thhree Oaks?

I don’t really have a favourite. Right now I’m drinking Mercury Hard in the black tins (6.9%).

I like the Little Green Apple. Tastes more like apple juice than alcohol.

Tortillas with Quorn for dinner, I’ve become a vego by default these days.

I often go for long periods with no meat these days.

But tonight there’s a first course of pink ling lightly cooked in olive oil and white wine and served with salad, followed later by gourmet beef snags & the same salad.

Woodside Petroleum joins BHP and Rio Tinto to call for carbon price

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/nov/14/woodside-petroleum-joins-bhp-and-rio-tinto-to-call-for-carbon-price?CMP=soc_567&fbclid=IwAR0ryosmPcTeypqza_8i9BKp1DSHnhJKQvvADUc0Ojx-nmKng8tbEQ05_kg

Woodside Petroleum chief executive, Peter Coleman, has joined mining giants BHP and Rio Tinto in calling for a price on carbon to help with emissions reduction targets and the transition to renewable energy.

But the energy minister, Angus Taylor, has claimed Australia doesn’t need a carbon price as emissions levels are coming down – a position at odds with the government’s official emissions data and independent modelling.

I mean the old explanation for the Coalition’s behaviour is that they were in the pockets of mining industry, but mining industry is telling them to pull their heads out of the sand and bring in a carbon tax. The Coalition is basically trying to blackmail AGL into building new coal fired plants but AGL doesn’t even want a bar of it.
Not sure how to explain it other than stupidity and stubbornness, or maybe they think it is genuinely an idea they can sell to the public, but the polls are indicating that the public has largely moved on.

If it was up to me, there would be no state funding of “religious schools”. Something as important as childhood education should be entirely secular.

The church of each religious school should pay. The state is not the bank for the churches.

Not a helpful article, if a school is disadvantaged it’s not because a private school down the road is advantaged. Last time I looked private school students get less tax payers money per person than a state school student. What would be more useful would be if you removed all private school student payments and apportioned them instead to state school students how much that funding per student would increase, I suspect not much and not enough to remove the disparity between an advantaged state school and a disadvantaged state school.

I’ve already read all my SMH articles this month. Let me know what it says..

It’s a messy article, almost seems like it’s designed to be confusing but this

NSW government schools had a net recurrent income, which includes federal and state government funding, fees, charges, parent contributions and other private sources of money, of $13,318 a student in 2016, the latest data provided by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) shows”

Note that it includes parent contributions

“This was similar to the average Catholic school net recurrent income of $13,691 a student in 2016, but far below the average private school income of $20,053 a student”

I would suggest thst reflects parent contributions and other private sources of money from the above para. They also don’t show thst in the tabulated date to the left.

Further down it mentions capital funding per student but doesn’t mention (that I could find) if that includes both government and private or a combination, which would explain what it calls the funding disparities, ie whose funding?

I can’t make sense of this unless they have shifted from per student maybe, ther being less students in private.

“Private schools received about 70 per cent of the combined government funding of public schools in 2016 and Catholic schools received 85 per cent as much as public schools.

However, government funding represented 96 per cent of the total net recurrent income of public schools and 80 per cent of the net income of Catholic schools in 2016, but only 45 per cent of the total income of private schools.”

I agree with this bloke

“Dr Newcombe said the data, which combines total income and expenditure across each school sector, was “meaningless as it doesn’t reflect the large variation in fee levels across the independent school sector, which includes schools that don’t charge any fees at all”.

“Independent schools attract significantly lower levels of government funding than other schools,” Dr Newcombe said.”

In that paragraph I assumed private schools exist and totally funded by parents. If you went that way however you would have to anticipate a mass exodus from private to state schools as the private schools increased their fees. You might find your government spending actually goes up.

The only reason we’re considering private school is that there are too many bogans at the school we’re in the catchment area for. We’re also considering an independent state school, but we’re out of catchment.

In that paragraph I assumed private schools exist and totally funded by parents. If you went that way however you would have to anticipate a mass exodus from private to state schools as the private schools increased their fees. You might find your government spending actually goes up.

Only the pov kids parents, the ones that matter would stay.

But on a more serious note, Finland has no private schools apparently (they’re all funded by the gubmint even if ‘private’..wtf…anyway), and the spending is 0.7% higher than Aus on a GDP basis (OECD ave is 3.4% of GDP, Aus is lower than OECD ave).

The only reason we’re considering private school is that there are too many bogans at the school we’re in the catchment area for. We’re also considering an independent state school, but we’re out of catchment.
Or we could move.

Don’t want to rub shoulders and grow up with the great unwashed, the horror.

My kids went to a public school. Despite the bogans they both topped the state intellectually. I went to a private school and despite being smarter than the Catholic peasants, I almost failed altogether.

Years back, we took Spalding Jr. out of an Anglican-run school because they kept jacking up the fees and reneging/pinching on resources, while engineering new ways to get you to pay e.g. fees for having a locker.

He still had a year or so before high school, and he then went to the state school for that, which was very good. And they were pleased to see him, as he played trombone, and they needed a ‘bone man in the school band, to make them eligible for competitions.

Then we sent him to a Catholic high school, because the local state high school’s standards weren’t equal to those of the primary schools in the area. The Catholic school was good, not over the top, didn’t push religion as much as the Anglicans did, and he did well there.

My nephew went to an expensive protestant private school in Launceston (Scotch Oakburn) until they started pushing the religious participation too hard and refused to heed parental objections, so he relocated to a state school and did just as well. Moved to the mainland to study and teach in Monash etc.

Now making a fortune in IT, corporate websites, game design etc.

Don’t have that extra hour of daylight to bugger up their circadian rhythms and such.

Quadrupling now? I never broke athletic records officially. I did set an entire new set of records for the under fifteens. A new category after the school expanded to accomodate the HSC. I have been asked to teach aboriginal school children about plants by aboriginal elders.

So you don’t read what is written and you make up bullshit trying to put people down. Bullyism is rampant and you have succumbed yet again.

I just filled in my latest forms from Monash University.
I have been being studied by them for more than 30 years.
I’m one of their 20,000 Health Watch cohort from the petroleum industry.

What are they studying?

Well the general health of the cohort particularly the rate of cancer and comparing it with the general population stats.

That sounds worthwhile.

I think it comes from the 19th century, when governments couldn’t be arse to run schools, so they let churches do it for them, but stumped up the money. Also gave churches lots of land, which is how the Anglican church came to own so much of inner Sydney.

Speaking of research, I am taking part of the Australian Breakthrough Cancer (ABC) Study that the Vic Cancer Council are doing.

I fitted the demographic and signed up for it. I answered a whole heaps of question and have supplied some spit so far.. Apparently I will supply blood at a later date.

what was that one?

Tasmania’s Director of Public Prosecutions is appealing against the sentence given to a man who killed six penguins with a stick.

Joshua Leigh Jeffrey and another man bludgeoned six little penguins to death at a beach at Sulphur Creek, in the state’s north-west, on New Year’s Day in 2016.

There was community outrage when Jeffrey was sentenced to 49 hours of community service and ordered to pay $82 in court costs.

DPP Daryl Coates is appealing against the sentenced, arguing it was “manifestly inadequate”.

During sentencing of the 20-year-old last month, Magistrate Tamara Jago described the killings as a “callous act” against “vulnerable penguins”.

“They were an easy target,” she said.

“The fractures to their head were consistent with blunt-force trauma … the attack continued for at least several minutes.”

Jeffrey had “shown no remorse and continues to deny guilt”, Magistrate Jago said.
Bird group welcomes sentence appeal

BirdLife Tasmania has welcomed the DPP’s decision to appeal, saying the original sentence failed to act as a deterrent to others.

The group’s Dr Eric Woehler said the “inadequate sentence” had drawn national and international attention.

“BirdLife Tasmania hopes that the appeal will see a stronger sentence that will reflect the seriousness of the penguin killing, and act as a strong deterrent to others,” Dr Woehler said.

Jeffrey’s lawyer Greg Richardson had told the court his client had ongoing mental health issues going back to when he was a child.

Jeffrey was convicted of one count of aggravated cruelty to animals likely to result in death, deformity or serious disablement and one count of take, buy, sell, or possess protected wildlife without authority.

The court heard nine penguins were found dead, but the cause of death of three could not be established.

In Tasmania, the maximum penalty for aggravated cruelty to animals is five years in jail or a fine of just over $31,000.

As well as community service and court costs, Jeffrey had a conviction recorded against his name.

The sentence caused community outcry and attracted national criticism from animal rights groups.

The appeal will go to the Supreme Court in Burnie next week.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-16/appeal-against-tasmanian-penguin-killer-sentence/9998354

Animal welfare campaigners remain disappointed with the sentence handed to a Tasmanian man convicted of killing six penguins, despite it being more than doubled on appeal.
Key points:

In July, Joshua Jeffrey received 49 hours of community service for killing six penguins On appeal that was doubled to 98 hours and a suspended sentence was added Animal welfare groups said the new punishment was still not a deterrent

Joshua Leigh Jeffrey was originally sentenced in July for bludgeoning the little penguins to death at Sulphur Creek in north-west Tasmania in 2016.

At the time, Magistrate Tamara Jago sentenced him to serve 49 hours of community service, a sentence that was decried by campaigners and community members as being too lenient.

Prosecutors appealed the sentence on the grounds that it was “manifestly inadequate” and, on Monday, Justice Stephen Estcourt upheld the appeal.

Jeffrey was re-sentenced to 98 hours of community service, and received a two-month suspended jail sentence.

I think the Catholics say something like “look at all the potential babies you’re wasting!” Supposed to make one guilty over masturbating or something.

Maybe that’s why the guy killed his Wife Swap religious mum.

Oh, come on, that’s not even close to the truth. The catholic catechism teaches:

By masturbation is to be understood the deliberate stimulation of the genital organs in order to derive sexual pleasure. “Both the Magisterium of the Church, in the course of a constant tradition, and the moral sense of the faithful have been in no doubt and have firmly maintained that masturbation is an intrinsically and gravely disordered action.” “The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose.” For here sexual pleasure is sought outside of “the sexual relationship which is demanded by the moral order and in which the total meaning of mutual self-giving and human procreation in the context of true love is achieved.” To form an equitable judgment about the subjects’ moral responsibility and to guide pastoral action, one must take into account the affective immaturity, force of acquired habit, conditions of anxiety or other psychological or social factors that lessen, if not even reduce to a minimum, moral culpability.

Which is probably even crazier :)

I see the ACTU wants to feed the super parasites as well. Wonder at what point the unions became just another vapid rent seeker…

“Although employers are required to make superannuation guarantee contributions, employees bear the cost of these contributions through lower wage growth. This means the increase in the employee’s retirement income is achieved by reducing their standard of living before retirement.”

Don’t know.

So many watch companies either have their whole watch assembled or simply cased in China. In turn, China makes heaps of counterfeit watches. There is at least one Australian company that proudly claims, designed and assembled in Australia. Inside the back, it doesn’t say cased in China but it does have the letters PRC, which I see as People’s Republic of China.

I’ve had people tell me that counterfeits are usually coming out of the same factory as the genuine article. All things considered, that seems most likely.

Interestingly, they make a fuss about their US design and tech and distribution network, but they’re not saying the products are made there.

They tell me the only way to tell whether the product is genuine is to check the serial number. Alrighty then….

Knew there had to be a awy. It has been reported that certain companies consider that spending an extra 20 or 30 grand to tool up to produce cases and bands that look so much like Rolex as to fool anyone who has never actually held one or more Rolexes in hand, is a small price to pay for the profits gained. I see more fake Rolex than the real.

The unauthorised production of a product by a manufacturer in China is a well-known, indeed practically-expected, risk of employing Chinese factories to make your product.

There was/is a phrase used by Chinese manufacturers – ‘give us your original, and we can reproduce’. That they can, and some of them see nothing wrong with producing the items in excess of what you order for them to sell themselves.

They rely on ‘the tyranny of distance’, language barriers, and the difficulty of getting the Chinese legal system to pursue patent and copyright issues to protect them. Having some Party connections is sometimes handy, too.

Along with other practices, like ‘quality creep’ (downwards, that is), and unauthorised and undisclosed parts/materials substitutions to increase the factory’s profit margin, the practice is covered in a book ‘Poorly Made in China’ by Paul Midler (https://www.amazon.com/Poorly-Made-China-Insiders-Production/dp/0470928077)

Midler is American who has worked China for close to two decades, and relates in the book a series of examples of the problems Chinese manufacturing can present.

I’ve had people tell me that counterfeits are usually coming out of the same factory as the genuine article. All things considered, that seems most likely.

Interestingly, they make a fuss about their US design and tech and distribution network, but they’re not saying the products are made there.

They tell me the only way to tell whether the product is genuine is to check the serial number. Alrighty then….

I’m still yet to be convinced that there is more counterfeiting in China than other recently industrilised nations like South Korea or Taiwan. It’s probably the sheer size of the Chinese market that is the main factor IMO.

Yeah, many moons ago, the car manufacturers were ripped off, as part of the quid pro quo of selling in China they had to set up factories and there was stipulated intellectual transfer. But the Chinese took it a step further and took the close up opportunity to study modern car plant processes then set up parallel factories selling similar products cheaper.

The car manufacturers went in expecting to sell millions of cars to a huge market and didn’t get much at all, they were used to manufacturing in other countries and expecting much the same but not realising China is a different animal.

They are selling in China now and at nice profit margins but upper end cars and usually blinged to Chinese tastes and with extended wheelbases, in that market the foreign manufacture is a prestige sale.

Last night it wasn’t a nightmare. But it was strange. I dreamed I was in Brett’s Mum’s one bedroom flat and behind door number one…was an acre of scrub with a berkshire pig in it. I spent some time helping the pig move a log with my trusty crowbar. Demonstrating how if I threw out some blood and bone I could make the pig work harder. I didn’t finish cleaning up the bedroom before I woke up.

Hello Lunchtimers. Got my first business Telstra bill under the new regime….not only the stuff I knew would be on it – like the $240 for the NBN installation – but they have charged me for the two extra phone lines that Don the Installer cancelled when he installed. I know he cancelled them. I was standing beside him when he did it. Local Telstra shop says they can’t help me. So we’ll go back to the Warrnambool business shop who seem to have a much better idea of how to do stuff. And tell them I amn’t paying for phone lines which do not exist. The rest of it looks right though.

I haven’t posted anything on her comments for a long time. But I can’t help watch. It gives me some idea on what the extreme Trump supporters are posting. I find it weird. But in her town the only industries are munitions and fast food.

There is another Trump supporter in my friends list but she has problems with some of it. She isn’t completely besotted. There is hope for her.

I have a Trump supporting friend. When Obama was in office, she always posted stuff like Obama needs to be impeached and Obama is ruining the country and Obama is the worst President ever. When Trump was elected she posted a pic of Jesus leading Trump into the White House. I unfollowed her after that, but recently her posts have started showing up in my feed again. She’s not heavily posting about Trump, rather stuff about her Mary Kay business and promoting her own writings.

I have Trump supporter friends too.. I also unfollowed them, but mainly because they are also conspiracy theorists who don’t believe in immuinisations and and think that some faith healer cured her brain cancer (conveniently neglecting all the hospital trips and operations)

And now for today’s exciting episode of: Old Guy Learns the Computer.

Last week, Old Guy learned about Google and Wikipedia. I left just as the librarian was explaining online shopping.

We still have a few minutes before his computer class starts; I wonder what wonders he will be learning today?

I’m still friends with Brett’s cousin Betsy in NH. She has a grown up family and has been apolitical most of her life. She is one of those people who prefers that no one discuss politics. It is her Trump loving hubby (who I think is a bit awful) (so do the kids by prior marriages) that has driven her to get out and vote democrat.

I have a whole bunch of Anti Trump Americans on my list.

Rule 303 said:

I’ve had people tell me that counterfeits are usually coming out of the same factory as the genuine article. All things considered, that seems most likely.

Interestingly, they make a fuss about their US design and tech and distribution network, but they’re not saying the products are made there.

They tell me the only way to tell whether the product is genuine is to check the serial number. Alrighty then….

Knew there had to be a awy. It has been reported that certain companies consider that spending an extra 20 or 30 grand to tool up to produce cases and bands that look so much like Rolex as to fool anyone who has never actually held one or more Rolexes in hand, is a small price to pay for the profits gained. I see more fake Rolex than the real.

How do you tell the difference?

Well, One way is that Rolex has never ever produced a quartz watch. The Oyster perpetual was always an automacially wound mechanical watch of very high quality. Nor did they put the Asian (Chinese) equivalent of a Seiko in their watches. Nor did they ever print their name backwards on the back

and to make another point in regard to the above images, datejust in Rolex terminology means that the watch has an adjustable date window.

Back to the RCA-Whirlpool ‘Miracle Kitchen of the Future,’ a display at the American National Exhibition in Moscow, 1959.

Press a button, and the dishwasher “walks” an electronic track to the dining table. Kitchen also has a robot floor cleaner and automatically adjustable sinks. By pressing buttons, Anne can prepare a complete meal without leaving the kitchen’s control panel.

It actually looks a bit scuffed and scratched for such an important exhibition.

I have arranged now for Heidi down the road to pick up on Saturday. Saves $15.

Goodo.

It certainly has an effect upon the growth of the plant that is noticeable. What this means is yet to be described further.

It’s a really really good dressing. Tough, waterproof, flexible, comfortable, resists abrasion, easy to remove… In a perfect world you would have a nice clean non-stick dressing under it, but it’s not a perfect world.

I haven’t had those problems. I do know when I took it to the bush nurse, she said, who stitched this, old Bert?
When I said yes, she said well at most all you will need to do is keep it covered for a bit.

OK. I actually asked a doctor about the lemon stuck in my arse before they actually sent me one of those. The surgeon removed it and said I was cancer free at the time.
I recently gave them a sample and they said I was clear. but they said nothing about anything else that may be wrong. Even though I know they are missing something.

I didn’t. But then my brother, who didn’t, was found to have extensive cancer. So my doctor said to supply shit for her tests. Which came back positive. And then I found out that if I had taken the Federal tests I would have been further up the waiting list. (Don’t you love how that works?) So because of the family history I was dealt with reasonably promptly and they removed five polyps. I need to be checked againn by the state in a few years.

I have another Federal test that I will do soon. When I remember first thing in the morning. I may as well take twice the testing.

Their name is the Murphy family. They are from Queensland. And — thanks to an offshore immigration detention deal signed off by fellow Queenslander Peter Dutton — they are poised to join the rich list.

Margin Call can reveal the Murphys’ obscure Brisbane-based family business, Canstruct International, has just made a $43 million profit running the Nauru camp.

Canstruct — owned by the Murphy family and operated from the Brisbane suburb of Yeerongpilly — is a construction and services company that delivers projects in difficult and remote locations.

The company was founded by patriarch Robin Murphy, and is now run by his son Rory ­Murphy. The group is chaired by Brisbane accountant Tim ­Klaebe.

Audited accounts just lodged with the corporate regulator show Canstruct’s bottom-line profit was made during the first seven months of their controversial contract with the Morrison government.

The family’s original 13-month, $377m contract to run Australia’s camp on Nauru was recently extended for a further six months to the end of next April, as revealed by Margin Call earlier this month.

Based on the company’s current run rate, the Murphy family is set to make in the order of $150m in bottom-line earnings from its Nauru contract, which expires on April 30.

There’s serious money to be made locking people up — if, like the Murphy clan, you can stomach the opprobrium.

Price is right

And thanks to a new government contract, the Murphy family’s Nauru business looks set to become even more profitable.

Not only has the Morrison government extended Canstruct International’s Nauru refugee centre contract, the government has increased the amount that the Yeerongpilly-based operation is being paid.

As Prime Minister Scott Morrison is always saying, this is a government that backs small and medium-sized businesses.

For the 13 months to the end of October, Peter Dutton was paying the Queensland small business $29m a month to run the facility.

That has been increased to almost $35m a month to run the refugee processing centre, an increase of almost 20 per cent.

The numbers shows the ­Murphys’ Canstruct operation is thriving in the Morrison era.

However, with the government facing increasing pressure to remove children and their families from the facility (not to mention the fact that Canstruct’s profits come out of your taxes), this is a business story you’re probably not going to hear a lot about ahead of the next election.

No. All my work is sessional since the Aust Business Register cracked down on training organisations employing trainers as contractors and cancelled a bunch of ABNs, including mine. RTOs know bloody well they should not be employing trainers as contractors.

Ta (a bit late, I went off to do other things) Mr buffy is officially a training partner, so has to have his own insurance. He finds his own work, he is not directed by the RTO. Picked up quite a large local firm today for First Aid today too. Underquoted the opposition before realizing it. And Mr buffy has just told me that The Opposition runs classes in which the participants actually do not touch the mannequins. It’s slide show and talking. I said “That can’t be right”. He assures me he has heard it from a couple of sources.

A $10 million plan backed by Prime Minister Scott Morrison to use former Defence homes to alleviate appalling housing conditions in a remote Northern Territory community has been scrapped.

Documents obtained by the ABC show the Prime Minister approved Tony Abbott’s plan to send decades-old RAAF housing to Borroloola.

Mr Morrison also agreed to “deploy the Australian Army to immediately assess the situation on the ground”, according to a Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet letter, dated October 31.

But in a separate letter tabled in the Senate today, Finance Minister Mathias Cormann said the plan to send the 12 decommissioned RAAF houses from Darwin to Borroloola was ditched following meetings with NT Government officials and community representatives last week

PWM is in a spot of trouble.
The Triton is munted good this time, I kept putting it off to get looked at as it kept coming good.
Coming up the range I was being passed by B-Doubles and the like and the temp gauge was in the red.
I preserved to the Redoubt but coming down the long and winding dirt road from the plateau it kept cutting out leaving PWM with no servo assisted brakes and steering, I fixed that by putting it in 2nd.
But I doubt it’s going to get me to Stanthorpe let alone home.
Options for tomorrow.
1. See if it’s come good tomorrow and risk it.
2. Get a lift into town with a farmer and buy a cheap vehicle from some lucky used car dealer.
3. Get a lift into town with a farmer and catch a bus to Brisbane, and think about it.
4. Stay here and go completely feral killing cattle and living off the land.

The Triton is munted good this time, I kept putting it off to get looked at as it kept coming good.
Coming up the range I was being passed by B-Doubles and the like and the temp gauge was in the red.
I preserved to the Redoubt but coming down the long and winding dirt road from the plateau it kept cutting out leaving PWM with no servo assisted brakes and steering, I fixed that by putting it in 2nd.
But I doubt it’s going to get me to Stanthorpe let alone home.
Options for tomorrow.
1. See if it’s come good tomorrow and risk it.
2. Get a lift into town with a farmer and buy a cheap vehicle from some lucky used car dealer.
3. Get a lift into town with a farmer and catch a bus to Brisbane, and think about it.
4. Stay here and go completely feral killing cattle and living off the land.

if you cooked it proper and boiled the water out the rings will go soft, resulting in little compression, an essential requirement of the functioning internal combustion engine

Join the RACQ and get a tow?

I’ll do that if I use option 1 and it all goes pear shaped and it would cost at least a grand.

Nah the overheating is a separate problem and it didn’t cook.
I bought a fuel filter but haven’t fitted it yet and I left it at home with my tool kit because I took them out this arvo to fit passengers in and forgot to put them back in before leaving.

I have not really been bothering to follow the finer details of it. But it seems like a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation. Neither the Labour Party, nor the conservative faction within her own government, nor the Europeans are going to come to agreement on what exact form Brexit should take.

I hope it works, that section of road is going to cop a lot of traffic, and I mean a lot . Would have been a bit more comfortable if they had tested it on some other less important road first. There’s not really an option of getting it wrong on this one.

I don’t think so, both the Conservatives and Labor supported the stay in Europe option.
However the people voted to leave, so just do it, forget trying to negotiate with Europe, they’ll negotiate till the cows come home, it’s what they do.
Just bail and to hell with the consequences, it’s gunna hurt but so be it.

Neither the Labour Party, nor the conservative faction within her own government, nor the Europeans are going to come to agreement on what exact form Brexit should take. She is stuck trying to appease all of them.

I find it a laugh a minute, especially as Corbyn is a supporter of Brexit.

I don’t think so, both the Conservatives and Labor supported the stay in Europe option.
However the people voted to leave, so just do it, forget trying to negotiate with Europe, they’ll negotiate till the cows come home, it’s what they do.
Just bail and to hell with the consequences, it’s gunna hurt but so be it.

Please note that I didn’t state that Labour supported Brexit, just Corbyn. It beats any soap opera.

Heading for a sunny 27 here.

Going to the liberry later to meet the local history group, who have some info about the original Redcliffe Writers Group. At yesterday’s meeting, we had a visit from the local councillor, whose father was once President of the group.

The two playgrounds closest to us have been demolished and will be rebuilt over the next few weeks. I’m glad council have money to refresh the equipment and plant more trees, yet I’m annoyed that they’re doing both playgrounds at the same time. Some people are never happy 😛

I can say this, because the people involved are dead now.

My mum’s aunt and uncle (not really family, just good family friends) went to Disneyland every year. The uncle was riddled with arthritis. Years later, after they’d died, I found out he took her to America to have her needs serviced wink wink nudge nudge. Apparently she was into black guys with large members.

That’s an example of some Arabian breeders taking the breed standard and going right over the top.. doing to their horses what dog breeders have done to some dogs with extremely short noses.

“Most display a distinctive concave, or “dished” profile. Many Arabians also have a slight forehead bulge between their eyes, called the jibbah”

The yanks particularly have gone to extremes to produce that “punched in the nose” look. That horse will probably have breathing difficulties.

The yanks particularly have gone to extremes to produce that “punched in the nose” look. That horse will probably have breathing difficulties.

The trend of breeding animals to make them more attractive even when it damages their health has spread to horses, vets are warning, after a stable released images showing a ‘cartoon-like’ colt.

Extreme breeding practices have already left animals like French bulldogs and pugs struggling to breathe as their faces have become squashed over time to suit human demands.

But vets believe that the worrying practice is now happening in horses after a US stud farm offered an Arabian Colt (as in youtube) for sale with an strange concave, or ‘dished’ profile…

Dr Madeleine Campbell, an equine reproduction specialist, expert in animal welfare and ethics and director of the Equine Ethics Consultancy, added: “Whilst it is obviously impossible to comment on an individual animal based only on photographic evidence, as a general principle any trend towards breeding for extremes of form which might adversely affect normal function must be condemned, on welfare grounds.

This would apply equally to head shape which might compromise the ability to breathe or eat normally or, for example, to extremes of animal size which might compromise the ability to give birth normally.”

I’ve never seen of mascara being used.. that could be dangerous.

I have seen horses kept in dark stables prior to going into the ring.. even heard of them being given a snort of coke so they’d be wired, eyes popping.

To stop that from occurring, the AEMO has sourced emergency energy reserves, which are typically not available to the market and are only accessed when supply is not keeping up with demand.

Those emergency reserves — otherwise known as Reliability and Emergency Reserve Trader (RERT) resources — do not come cheap.

I’m shocked, shocked I tells ya.

And to explain a RERT, a deal is made with a company that has emergency back-up generators. They are paid to turn them on and get the associated building off the grid. So burning lots of nice clean diesel fuel in the main.

Amusingly, if we had reserved some domestic gas supply federally (i.e. cheap), people that run things like the Pelican Point plant might actually turn some of the generators on when needed instead of deciding 50,000 people can go without.

so this story is somewhat confusing.. but i think I have it…

dentist ad dace studio ‘share’ a bathroom

dentist goes to bathroom to find a man with his ‘pants halfway down’ and a seven yr old dance student

dentist starts punching man

another parent from dance studio comes across the scene and a fight breaks out between parent and alleged assaulter, parent gets stabbed with scalpel…

scene moves to street, people help stabbed man, someone contains alleged (and beaten) offender. police collect them all up and they all go to hospital.
etc etc

now, it says “communal bathroom” does that mean communal because it’s used by two businesses, or communal as in multisex?

it strikes me that young children at a dance studio should not be in a communal bathroom. Is there a stall for women and males?

Did the alleged offender force child into bathroom? it’s not making a lot of sense.

Buckingham calls for Di Natale to reverse his position as Greens turmoil spreads

Turmoil within the NSW Greens over an accusation of “sexual violence” threatens to spill into the federal party room after the Upper House MP at the centre of the scandal wrote to Richard Di Natale demanding he reverse his position and claiming he abandoned “the presumption of innocence”.

Senator Di Natale, the leader of the Greens, on Tuesday called for Jeremy Buckingham to “to stand aside as a candidate for the next election” after an extraordinary speech by Newtown MP Jenny Leong accusing him of inappropriate conduct toward a former party staffer Ella Buckland in 2011.

Ms Leong said Ms Buckland had shown strength by speaking out about “Jeremy’s act of sexual violence” towards her and “subsequent disgusting behaviour”.

Shoebridge adds to call for NSW Greens MP to step down
Jeremy Buckingham is facing calls from his own party to resign over allegations of sexual violence.

“Let me say on the record, I believe you,” she said.

Mr Buckingham has denied the allegation, made by Ms Leong under parliamentary privilege, and has refused to stand aside, splitting the NSW Greens.

The letter, sent by Mr Buckingham to Senator Di Natale and the federal party room on Thursday, reads: “As you know, an independent investigation found that all allegations of wrongdoing were not substantiated and made no adverse findings against me”.

“If we abandon the vitally important principles of a presumption of innocence and procedural fairness in an attempt to placate the Left Renewal faction that has infiltrated our party, then what kind of party is the Australian Greens,” he wrote.

“I request that you make a public statement re-affirming your support for the principles of the presumption of innocence and procedural fairness.”

However, many within the Greens are highly critical of Mr Buckingham’s actions following the incident, and believe those, not only the investigation, should be grounds for his removal from the party’s ticket at the state election in March.

Left Renewal is a grass-roots push by some Greens members aligned with Upper House MP David Shoebridge and former federal senator Lee Rhiannon, who are opposed to Mr Buckingham.

The use of parliamentary privilege has left the NSW Greens divided, with Justin Field, Cate Faehrmann and Dawn Walker publicly backing Mr Buckingham.

Ms Walker said that there had been a “concerted effort over the last few years to try to exploit sexual harassment and assault allegations to smear political opponents within the Greens”.

In a letter circulated to party officials in September of this year following an investigation of the incident, Workdynamic Australia said it was “not satisfied that there is sufficient evidence that a reasonable person could conclude, on the balance of probabilities, that an incident/incidents of sexual harassment as defined by the legislation has occurred”.

Former Upper House MP Mehreen Faruqi, now a federal senator, also put her name to a statement alongside Ms Leong calling on Mr Buckingham to step aside.

In his initial statement following those comments, Senator Di Natale said it was “ultimately a matter for the Greens NSW, but in light of the serious issues raised in NSW MP Jenny Leong’s statement today, I believe the most appropriate course of action is for Jeremy Buckingham to stand aside as a candidate for the next election”.

Both Mr Buckingham and Senator Di Natale declined to comment.

However, many within the Greens are highly critical of Mr Buckingham’s actions following the incident, and believe those, not only the investigation, should be grounds for his removal from the party’s ticket at the state election in March.

Left Renewal is a grass-roots push by some Greens members aligned with Upper House MP David Shoebridge and former federal senator Lee Rhiannon, who are opposed to Mr Buckingham.

The use of parliamentary privilege has left the NSW Greens divided, with Justin Field, Cate Faehrmann and Dawn Walker publicly backing Mr Buckingham.

Ms Walker said that there had been a “concerted effort over the last few years to try to exploit sexual harassment and assault allegations to smear political opponents within the Greens”.

In a letter circulated to party officials in September of this year following an investigation of the incident, Workdynamic Australia said it was “not satisfied that there is sufficient evidence that a reasonable person could conclude, on the balance of probabilities, that an incident/incidents of sexual harassment as defined by the legislation has occurred”.

Former Upper House MP Mehreen Faruqi, now a federal senator, also put her name to a statement alongside Ms Leong calling on Mr Buckingham to step aside.

In his initial statement following those comments, Senator Di Natale said it was “ultimately a matter for the Greens NSW, but in light of the serious issues raised in NSW MP Jenny Leong’s statement today, I believe the most appropriate course of action is for Jeremy Buckingham to stand aside as a candidate for the next election”.

Both Mr Buckingham and Senator Di Natale declined to comment.

Righto. He certainly isn’t doing the party any good doing what he’s doin’.

so this story is somewhat confusing.. but i think I have it…

dentist ad dace studio ‘share’ a bathroom

dentist goes to bathroom to find a man with his ‘pants halfway down’ and a seven yr old dance student

dentist starts punching man

another parent from dance studio comes across the scene and a fight breaks out between parent and alleged assaulter, parent gets stabbed with scalpel…

scene moves to street, people help stabbed man, someone contains alleged (and beaten) offender. police collect them all up and they all go to hospital.
etc etc

now, it says “communal bathroom” does that mean communal because it’s used by two businesses, or communal as in multisex?

it strikes me that young children at a dance studio should not be in a communal bathroom. Is there a stall for women and males?

Did the alleged offender force child into bathroom? it’s not making a lot of sense.

I wonder why police praised the parent but not the dentist.

because he can’t show his face on TV?

They have rolled it out in some parts of WA and QLD as a means supposedly to cut drinking and violence with those on welfare. It quarrantines 80% of payment. It is run by the Libs friends. They keep the money offshore. And you have your bills paid for you. You don’t get a choice to be on it. They are rolling it out by postcode. Basically you lose your rights.

That’s how it started in NSW too. Coes and Woolies put up the prices on bottles and cans and we could not find a collection point but now we have at least four collection points and the supermarkets are short of small change because of the collection point according to one person behind the counter.

The whole thing needs a shakeup, the job applications and job seek agencies are a massive rort and churn, wasted money. If they can’t get a job, give them the dole and leave it at that, if they want to work have something similar to the old CES. And as for quarantine cards a good idea in principle but from what I have read not so good in practice and again subject to rorting, if a card has a value people will find a way around. Have a voluntary system for aboriginal ladies who don’t want to be humbugged.

The biggest rort seems to be giving the company around 13k to oversee the card.

I remember when Brett found himself a job. His agency had nothing to do with him finding said job. They demanded to know all the particulars. And then they took the credit for finding said job. And rang Brett’s employer every week for weeks to find out whether Brett was doing a good job until the employer let rip at them for wasting his time.

Tallest volcano.

Tallest mountain measured from it base: in this case many kms under the water.

Well I drained the fuel filter, cleaned out the air filter that was chockers and only put one turn on the fuel cap and closed the flap.
That was in case the fuel cap air inlet wasn’t working properly.
Anyway it got me home.

A blocked air filter or unpressurised fuel or sump system can really muck up modern computerised fuel injection mixing.

So I had a nanna nap. In my dream I went outside to find out what the noise was and there was a huge bird…possibly 3 foot high..sitting outside on a post.It had a huge head that was gold, with sort of blunt antlers on it and a bright blue body. I thought, I shall tell the forum I have seen one of those. And I couldn’t remember what one of those was called. I decided it was my short term memory problem with names. And that I would know what the name of that type of bird pretty promptly If I kept thinking on it.

I have no idea. I think my brain is just making up things now.

Poiky if you’re about you might find this article interesting:

https://www.theage.com.au/business/companies/apple-shares-drop-as-iphone-s-sluggish-sales-raise-red-flags-20181113-p50fn0.html

It shows how complex it is to make predictions about just one product by one company and all that entails for economic prognostication in general. You could argue that if they can’t be accurate economists shouldn’t even bother but predictions are necessary for the futures markets so they still serve a purpose

I won’t be answering FB messages for a while. But if she has ever wished you well, or given you a compliment, given you a gift or made your life brighter in any way, please send her a healing thought now.

Anyway enough about TV’s lets spend some quality time talking about me.
I had fruit for breakfast, chicken schnitzel for lunch and fruit and a cup of tea for tea.

We’ll need more detail than that. What species of fruit?

I’m currently eating large red American grapes while drinking a pleasant dry red, after an earlier dinner of vegetarian pizza.

looks around
IGA have just got in this season cherries.
Keep it to yourself.

My Woolies had cherries in bags tonight. $18 kg.

While smashed avocado on toast is a staple of Australian culture, this hand surgeon would beseech the Australian public to refrain from attacking the large and slippery seed with a knife while holding the avocado half in your palm. The knife can slip off and cause significant tendon, nerve and artery damage. Please remove seeds with a spoon or a special instrument that is widely available for purchase. If you must attack the seed with a knife, place the avocado on a chopping board and keeps hands clear.

“The Republicans don’t win and that’s because of potentially illegal votes,” Trump told the conservative Daily Caller website. “When people get in line that have absolutely no right to vote and they go around in circles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again. Nobody takes anything. It’s really a disgrace what’s going on. If you buy a box of cereal – you have a voter ID.”

“The Republicans don’t win and that’s because of potentially illegal votes,” Trump told the conservative Daily Caller website. “When people get in line that have absolutely no right to vote and they go around in circles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again. Nobody takes anything. It’s really a disgrace what’s going on. If you buy a box of cereal – you have a voter ID.”

Judge orders White House to return Jim Acosta’s press pass
Federal judge Timothy J. Kelly sided with CNN on Friday, ordering the White House to reinstate chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta’s press pass.
The ruling was an initial victory for CNN in its lawsuit against President Trump and several top aides.
The lawsuit alleges that CNN and Acosta’s First and Fifth Amendment rights are being violated by the suspension of Acosta’s press pass.
Kelly did not rule on the underlying case on Friday. But he granted CNN’s request for a temporary restraining order.
This result means that Acosta will have his access to the White House restored for at least a short period of time. The judge said while explaining his decision that he believes that CNN and Acosta are likely to prevail in the case overall.

I’d take that Ju-88 illustration as being a ‘conjectural’ illustration from the 1930s, possibly by an English or American artist?

I’ve had a check of William Green’s ‘Famous Bombers of the Second World War’ (1959, two volumes, foreword by Group Capt. ‘Johnny Johnson – one reviewer said it was a work of ‘painstaking detail, providing more information than most readers could ever wish for’.)

It shows and mentions no prototype or production 88s with end-plate fins.

It does mention the final plans for an 88 sub-type, the Ju-488, which would have had end-plate fins, but it never entered production. So, i was somewhat wrong in my declaration, too.

Maybe embed the finger print data of customers who purchased the items into the containers with nano dots.

Then authorities can read the nano dots to see who left the rubbish there.

This was a Ju88 K. http://www.allworldwars.com/Friend-or-Foe-Aircraft-Identification-1940.html

and the k didn’t have tailfins like that in production. i looked. in fact i didn’t find a real photo of that variant.

Maybe embed the finger print data of customers who purchased the items into the containers with nano dots.

Then authorities can read the nano dots to see who left the rubbish there.

so you want a database with everyones fingerprints on it?

No really but if their fingerprint says they tossed it there, whenever they do get fingerprinted it can be added to the charges.

I’d take that Ju-88 illustration as being a ‘conjectural’ illustration from the 1930s, possibly by an English or American artist?

I’ve had a check of William Green’s ‘Famous Bombers of the Second World War’ (1959, two volumes, foreword by Group Capt. ‘Johnny Johnson – one reviewer said it was a work of ‘painstaking detail, providing more information than most readers could ever wish for’.)

Fair enough. It must be an artists licence then?

The tail fins in the photo in question certainly look like an add-on to the generaal lines of the plane. They do look a tad out of place.

but you need their fingerprints first to see whether they are the dumpers. you can’t just take peoples fingerprints for no reason.

Correct. However, if rubbish was scanned for prints and any time that you for example had your fingerprints taken for the real reasons they are taken, then this could also be connected to your fingerrpints and even be used to solve long unsolved cases.

Of course this would require huge logistics to be taking up rubbish from roadsides and scanning it all for prints.

The reason is a clause in the customers contract (which no one ever reads) when they agree to pay the money.

That part of the clause says that customers must dispose of the rubbish properly.

If they dump the rubbish then that violates the contract.

In Britain it is legal for a pregnant woman to urinate in a policeman’s helmet, but against the law for anyone to die in the Houses of Parliament.

It is apparently legal for a male to urinate in public, as long it is on the rear wheel of his motor vehicle and his right hand is on the vehicle.

There is also seemingly a law that if someone knocks on your door in Scotland and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter.

Less happy outcome here….Bruna the Huntress found this nest this morning. Mr buffy tells me it had some eggs in it…and Bruna had morning tea…

I moved her away from that bush yesterday, but I didn’t know what she was after. I suspect the chicks were still in the eggs but starting to make noises before hatching. It was built at less than a metre off the ground.

This just reminded me. Someone here might know. In my family we have always referred to Wagga Wagga as just Wagga. There were family members in Wagga. (The Alberni family, if anyone knows old Wagga families, they were fruiterers) But recently I’ve noticed people giving it the full double barrelled name in conversation. Does anyone know what the locals call it these days?

We do actually have a large wooden rocking chair. It is right beside me here at the moment with a large teddy bear sitting in it. I bought the chair for Mr buffy 30 or so years ago. He bought the teddy bear for me 30 or so years ago. (There was a lady in the district that made the most wonderful sheepskin teddy bears and I wanted one. She is still a patient of mine, although she doesn’t do the teddy bear making any more)

This was a Ju88 K. http://www.allworldwars.com/Friend-or-Foe-Aircraft-Identification-1940.html

I’d take any 1940 IFF publication with a grain of salt, too.

The British believed that there was a German fighter, the He-112, in widespread squadron service.

In reality, the aircraft were a very tiny number of He-100 fighter, which had been made for a fighter tender for the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM), a competition which Heinkel lost to Messerschmitt.

Almost all of the few He-100s made served only as a local defence flight for the Heinkel factory. That didn’t stop them being widely reported as being all over the place by RAF pilots, thanks to a fairly clever disinformation programme run by Goebbels and the RLM to convince the British that such was the case.

They’ve just been de-spidered by hose and are drying off. They live on the verandah. They were once in my waiting room, but we got new ones when those ones wore through the vinyl. Doesn’t matter for us, we know there are sharpish bits of metal, but not good for the insurance for patients to rip their skin.

It used to be quite a port. I think nowadays everything goes out of Devonport or Burnie. However Hobart is due a stupid number of cruise ships this season.

Yes, they do seem to be able to conduct the business better than us – but, the concepts and effects of NZ politics are trivial, nonetheless. Even more trivial than our own.

The Third Man is a 1949 British film noir, directed by Carol Reed. One night after a long day of filming The Third Man on location in Vienna, Reed and cast members Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli and Orson Welles had dinner and retired to a wine cellar. In the bistro, which retained the atmosphere of the pre-war days, they heard the zither music of Anton Karas, a 40-year-old musician who was playing there just for the tips. Reed immediately realized that this was the music he wanted for his film. Karas spoke only German, which no one in Reed’s party spoke, but fellow customers translated Reed’s offer to the musician that he compose and perform the soundtrack for The Third Man. Karas was reluctant since it meant traveling to England, but he finally accepted. Karas wrote and recorded the 40 minutes of music heard in The Third Man over a six-week period, after the entire film was translated for him at Shepperton Studios

The new battle for Tasmania
Premier Will Hodgman’s quest to open Tasmania for business has led to a spectacular fall-out on the Apple Isle.

By KATE LEGGE

From The Weekend Australian MagazineNovember 16, 2018

A black snake slithers across our path as we head towards Lake Malbena inside Tasmania’s remote Wilderness World Heritage Area. We have zero mobile phone reception and the tramp back along overgrown tracks would not secure a life-saving dose of antivenene in time. I keep one step behind fly-fisherman Greg French and his mate, who both hunt trout in the crystal clear lakes that thread through the central plateau like freshwater pearls. They know this landscape intimately from countless expeditions over decades. French mapped fisheries here almost 30 years ago. He alerted archaeologists to the indigenous ­petroglyph he found carved into a rock face on a ­sheltered slope next to a tarn. Now he’s threatening a blockade here to stop helicopters landing beside Hall’s Island in Lake Malbena for a fly-in fly-out boutique adventure tourism business. French believes this hallowed ground should be free from mechanical access. “The mere fact that wild places survive and are accessible only through a degree of personal effort and sacrifice exhilarates us,” he says. “Wilderness is transcendental. Uplifting.”

We have walked for eight hours, over fallen trunks, through thick tea-trees and spiky hakea to reach the shores of the lake where guests will be ferried across the water for a three-night experience in the wild on the 8ha island named after Reg Hall, a Launceston bushwalker and ­lawyer who made this his secret hideaway more than half a century ago. Kayaking, fishing, swimming, walking to nearby Mount Oana or the petroglyph site are drawcards enough but the crowning glory of this place is seclusion within nature’s arms. The quirky rough-hewn shelter Hall constructed around a handsome stone ­fireplace is barely visible through the groves of native King Billy, celery top and ­pencil pines ­skirting the rocky shore.

Tourism operators ­Daniel and Simone Hackett have won conditional approval to build three accommodation pods, a communal dining area and helipad here as they surf the slipstream of Premier Will Hodgman’s quest to make Tasmania the eco-tourism capital of the world. This temple of tranquillity has been rezoned from “wilderness” to “self-reliant recreation” in the hustle for ­tourism’s holy grail — cashed-up, nature-hungry city dwellers keen for immersion in the planet’s shrinking reserves of canopied forests and coastal habitats. National parks have historically offered a limited range of huts and lodges, but pressure for commercial gain through a share of this fast-­growing market signals a seismic shift from their traditional role as guardians.

Other states are scrambling for a share. Last month Queensland invited expressions of interest for eco-tourism ventures in three national parks including Hinchinbrook Island in the Great ­Barrier Reef Marine Park. South Australia is ­negotiating with the Australian Walking Company (AWC) to build luxury lodges on the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail in Flinders Chase National Park, while the Northern Territory is expected to grant this company the same privilege on a walking trail in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.

“Experiences are what people are after and nature is topping that list,” says Brett Godfrey, the former Virgin Australia CEO who holds a ­minority share in AWC and recently acquired the Tasmanian Walking Company (TWC), which ­pioneered commercial huts on the Overland Track from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair in the state’s Wilderness World Heritage Area. Also chair of Tourism & Events Queensland, Godfrey has been lobbying hard to unlock scenic-based tourism, describing himself as an “environmental capitalist” who believes the best conservation strategy is to ­showcase parks and wild places so that visitors will fall in love with them.

“Wilderness lodges is a non sequitur,” scoffs Bob Brown, father of the Greens, who has sweated long and hard to protect treasured sites from ­logging, mining and hydro. Aghast at “the ­privatisation of national parks across the country”, Brown’s foundation supports The Wilderness ­Society’s campaign against a raft of proposed ­projects inside these sanctuaries. “We will end up with wilderness lodges all over the state and no wilderness at all. Not just in Tasmania — this is happening all over the country.” He argues Lake Malbena, in the Walls of Jerusalem National Park, “is the thin edge of the wedge”.

The sun is lowering as a westerly breeze ripples the skin of the lake where we sit absorbed by the quiet beauty, each of us lost in thought. Malbena is an indigenous word for wild drake. My escort, Greg French, known as “Trout”, led local tourism operator Daniel Hackett to these shores. The two men became close friends through a mutual love of fly-fishing. French served as a guide for ­Hackett’s fly-fishing business running excursions to remote Lake Ina, east of Lake St Clair. They worked together carting in materials and constructing the small standing camp of huts. French was the go-between who introduced Hackett, 38, to Reg Hall’s daughter, poet Liz McQuilkin, who gifted the lease she’d inherited to the young entrepreneur for the princely sum of $1. Now 77, McQuilkin is confident Hackett will prove a fitting custodian of her father’s legacy. She’s not overly fussed by helicopters flying people in and out. Choppers already service existing lodges and public huts on the Overland Track.

But French, 56, a writer who has tramped wild rivers all over the world, is “devastated” by the ­heresy of such easy transport because it upends the wild’s sacred tenet of remoteness. He and Hackett have fallen out spectacularly. In Tasmania, where degrees of separation are fractional, this is an intense tussle that touches on deeply held convictions. French waded through mud to save the Franklin River. He’s watched the near-extinction of Tasmanian kelp forests, the bleaching of Great Barrier Reef coral, the disappearance of glaciers in Patagonia and New Zealand, the dieback of British Columbia’s conifer forests. Hackett is younger. He has witnessed the rise of time-poor millennials unfamiliar with tent pegs and the emergence of off-grid technology that can minimise carbon footprints. “We can do a type of tourism now that we couldn’t do 30 years ago,” he says. “When does my generation get to choose what we do for the future?”

In the fading light I follow French over the ridge and down by a slope of springy sphagnum, pineapple grass and cushion plants, above the place where helicopters would land. He points to the spot where he’ll peg his tent in protest to stop the mechanical beast from landing if a legal ­challenge now underway fails to secure one of the world’s last vestiges of wild.

Inside the boutique Henry Jones Art Hotel overlooking Hobart’s historic wharves, iced platters of freshly shucked oysters and champagne are laid on for the September launch of the ­Tasmanian Walking Company’s guided four-day walk along the Three Capes Track inside the Tasman National Park. Premier Will Hodgman, who is also minister for parks, is here to toast the company’s swish lodges. A huge screen cycles through photographs of fine interiors, a glass of pinot and gourmet meal always in reach, with spectacular ocean views of the pillared dolerite cliffs ribbing this rugged coastline. The state’s tourism chief John Fitzgerald has barely had time to shower and change since returning from the debut guided walk with a group of journalists, me included, all of us seduced by the cushioned comfort of an exhilarating challenge. As the author of a forthcoming book on the dreamers who opened up Cradle Mountain early last century, I’m intrigued by Tasmania’s wonders.

The bus driver who’d collected us from ­Fortescue Bay, where the Three Capes Track ends, wryly referred to the straggle of people on this crescent of shore as “a crowd”, astutely fingering the raw nerve of locals who have had paradise to themselves for so long they are disquieted by its sudden popularity. “Be careful what you wish for,” he joked as he wondered how to deliver us back to Hobart for the launch party now that the city has a peak hour.

The skyline is crowded with cranes as tourist numbers climb steeply and an economy that had stalled finds its pulse. Visitors are drawn by the MONA phenomenon and the jewels of Wineglass Bay in Freycinet National Park and Cradle ­Mountain, which between them attract more than 600,000 visitors a year. China’s President Xi ­Jinping promoted the island as a worthy destination after his 2014 visit hooked eyeballs in a country bitten by the travel bug. Tasmania’s tourism growth leads the national average, stoking public anxiety over hotly contested plans for a cable car up Mt Wellington and a vast tourist village that would swamp the tiny east coast town of Swansea. Hundreds attended a town hall meeting in August to demand more transparency and consultation over developments. When seen against ferment in Venice and Barcelona, where citizens are sick of trinket shops and invading hordes, the Tasmanian backlash may seem an overreaction. But many locals and some operators warn an open-slather approach to growth will ruin the artisanal strengths that draw tourists here and endanger wild places that are certain to become even more precious and sought after as gridlocked cities burst at the seams.

The battle over national parks crosses state borders as governments eye off revenue streams from commercial leases promising ­tourism jobs, regional spending, more rangers. Precedents for private accommodation in national parks date back to the turn of last century with chalets at Mt Buffalo in Victoria, Kosciuszko in NSW, and Cradle Mountain’s valley. As early as 1914, when barely a trickle visited Cradle Mountain’s glacial ­landscape, those who loved its isolation worried about letting the secret out. The ­solace of wilderness has been an evangelising force throughout history, from Henry David ­Thoreau’s Walden to Cheryl Strayed’s Wild.

The surge of adventure tourism based on iconic walks beckons a new era of encroachment. Queensland’s tourism minister, Kate Jones, made no secret that her state was seeking to emulate ­Tasmania’s success when she invited companies to tender for 60-year leases to build and run ­“eco-accommodation” in three wilderness areas: Hinchinbrook Island, Australia’s largest island national park; Whitsunday Islands National Park; and a coastal trail in the Great Sandy National Park. Her timing could not have been worse. ­Pioneering conservationist Margaret Thorsborne, who with her late husband Arthur had dedicated her life to preserving wildlife and flora on Hinchinbrook, with a 32km wilderness trail along the island’s east coast named in their honour, had barely been laid to rest when the news broke. For years, rangers have limited the numbers of overnight campers for the sake of its fragile ecological integrity.

Amendments to Queensland’s conservation law in 2013 prepared for heightened activity in places where experiments with eco-tourism had a patchy record. The ruins of Hinchinbrook Island’s Cape Richards resort, slammed by Cyclone Yasi then destroyed by fire, sit forlorn among the ­frangipani and pines, the pool covered in green slime, awaiting resurrection.

When Tasmania first allowed private huts to operate beside public huts along the Overland Track 30 years ago there were only 84 walkers a year. Now about 9000 people complete the 65km track annually. Rangers stagger numbers with a daily cap of 60 starting from the north. The state modelled its enterprise on New Zealand’s Milford Track, jealous of that country’s clever promotion of its natural treasures. Bob Brown opposed the Overland huts. “If it had kept at that, life would go on,” he says, likening the spread of red dots flagging new developments in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area to an outbreak of measles. In April the state government put ­forward plans to rezone Frenchmans Cap in the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park from wilderness to recreation; a prohibition on huts was lifted and $3 million gifted to green-light “six environmentally sensitive” huts along an 85km stretch of coastal track in the state’s far south; Halls Island has been rezoned for commercial use; and a $70,000 grant is funding plans for the proposed upgrade of a track around Lake Geeves at the foot of Federation Peak in Tasmania’s Southwest National Park.

“Will Hodgman has spent his life opposing the environmentalists who have protected these areas,” Brown says. “Now they are protected he arrives on the scene happy to be led by tourist industry ­supremos who want to open the floodgates.” He has consistently argued that national parks are public places that should not be squandered in the ­interests of private profit.

As the biggest industry player, Brett Godfrey hascrafted an expert defence to allay fears of ­barbarians at the gate. “In-park tourism doesn’t have to involve greed, eco-vandalism or the loss of biodiversity,” he says, describing the phone book of compliance ­regulations that govern the TWC’s leases. “Nobody would claim New Zealand has buggered up the Milford Track.” But he concedes the act of building any infrastructure disturbs nature. “No matter how light the impact, you are moving stuff around, rocks, trees.” His light-hearted admission moments later that “the Exxon Valdez was not meant to hit a rock” exposes the fault line in this debate.

The TWC has an unblemished record but ­Godfrey is a relative newcomer to this business and a recent convert to nature walks. His first ­venture into the wilderness in 2012 gave immediate flight to fancying its untapped potential. “My passion for highly inflammable cylinders that fly at 30,000 feet and produce nitrous oxide and ­carbon by the tonne has waned,” says the former Virgin boss, “and now I am most passionate about another tourism product.”

Joan Masterman, who with Ken Latone pioneered commercial huts on the Overland Track, now run by Godfrey’s TWC, treads more carefully. “The government has gone a bit mad. They’ve got to watch it. All these places are pristine and beautiful because they were saved by the Tasmanian Wilderness Society. It can tip over and turn something precious into something terrible. The last thing you want to do is go on a nature experience and have city noises impinging on your consciousness.”

Godfrey says he is “super, super passionate about making this work for everyone. I very strongly believe our national parks and world heritage areas are irreplaceable and must be protected but that should not mean they are simply the domain of backpackers.” The target demographic for adventure travel is middle-aged people willing to pay $3500 for a guided journey over five days. “A beach holiday won’t cut it with this group anymore. They have time, money, better health and more than anything else they want experiences.”

Those wary of commercial intrusion are accused of athletic elitism, of wanting these glorious spaces kept for trekkers who can pitch a tent. Godfrey understands the importance of walking in to wild places to feel their timeless significance. None of his companies’ signature walks drops ­people at the door of the lodges, which tick every box on the sustainable off-grid spectrum. But like most good businesses his appetite for scale is ­insatiable and the AWC, held in partnership with former Qantas CEO Geoff Dixon, is now pursuing leases for lodges and walks in South Australia (Kangaroo Island), Northern Territory (Kata Tjuta) and NSW (the Blue Mountains). “The Blue Mountains is the most popular park in Australia but you can’t sleep in a bed in the park,” Godfrey says.

NSW has 134 commercial operators in its parks but 120 of these are confined to the Thredbo ski village. Western Australia has “eco-tourism” lodges in four national parks with a new development proposed at Millstream Chichester National Park. Victoria is the toughest to crack with commercial leases held to 21 years. “Nobody would buy a house for 21 years,” notes Godfrey, who has his eye on a new trail in the Grampians. “It’s going to open up once they get compliance procedures sorted out.” His TWC has a separate wish-list for additional huts on the Overland Track as well as a lodge at Lake Rodway near Cradle Mountain.

“Every state and territory has natural iconic assets that if carefully opened to low-impact adventure tourism I would gladly, along with many others, seek to invest in… the rest of Australia now realises this is a competitive market,” he says. “It is much smarter to manage national parks by forcing people to stay in guided camps than putting up tents. If you want people to protect national parks they have to care about them, and I guarantee whoever goes in comes out as an advocate for wild spaces.”

Opponents challenge the logic that bringing more people into these places guarantees their survival. They argue we already have state laws and international conventions protecting Australia’s natural heritage but these checks and balances are being eroded in the rush to embrace tourist ­activities. Vica Bayley, Tasmanian campaign ­manager for The Wilderness Society, says there has been a philosophical creep from the idea of parks for preservation to the notion of parks ­turning a profit. “The Tasmanian government has perverted proper planning processes. Expressions of interest are secret. There is no consultation. Anything that poses a barrier to development is dismantled,” he says, pointing to the rezoning of Lake Malbena. “This zoning change was not publicly announced, nor was it subject to community consultation, and it was not assessed against the need to protect ­outstanding universal wilderness values. Every roadblock to development in these places is being removed by sleight of hand.”

The National Parks and Wildlife Advisory Council, an independent statutory body that advises the state and federal governments, did not support the Lake Malbena project because of ­concerns about helicopter access and whether the proposed accommodation pods met the definition of “standing camp”. But both levels of government waved it through. The Wilderness Society has launched a federal court challenge.

Environmental groups in Queensland fear a similar briskness of due diligence under the 2013 amendments permitting eco-tourism facilities within park boundaries. Work is progressing on a 76km trail with luxury huts for walkers and ­mountain bike riders to travel from Palm Cove to Port Douglas through two World Heritage-listed zones. “Nobody is sure of the new process,” says Sean Ryan, principal solicitor from the state’s Environmental Defenders Office. “There is growing concern these proposals will be fast-tracked with no mandatory requirement for full environmental impact statements.”

Weeks after the TWC launched its guided walk along the Three Capes Track, Premier Hodgman extended the deadline for operators competing to design the next iconic tourist experience because of “massive interest”, adding: “The Overland and the Three Capes tracks have captured the world’s attention and are a major drawcard for visitors.”

Tasmanian tourism operator Simon Currant, who took over and expanded Cradle Mountain Lodge in the mid ’80s, recalls scant opposition because the resort was outside the park border. More recently he turned Pumphouse Point, at the southern end of Lake St Clair, into a luxury ­destination, avoiding controversy because the ­infrastructure already existed. “I’m totally for growth,” he says. “But not for growth that wrecks our brand.” He slams the proposed Cambria Green development at Swansea as “a blot on the landscape”. “I was a voice in the wilderness,” he says of his 16 years on the state’s tourism board. “I fought and fought. What is their strategy? It’s mass ­tourism. It should be niche. More small is better.” He supports ­Hackett’s development at Lake ­Malbena. “There is enough for everyone,” he says. “Again it’s a matter of managing it. I’ve just visited Yellowstone . They get five million ­people. They manage the numbers. You minimise the impact.” The cable car slated for Dove Lake, near ­Cradle Mountain, wins his support as a way of ­easing ­traffic on the narrow road to this glacial basin.

“What are they going to do next?” pleads ­veteran conservationist Geoff Law, who describes himself as “a shocked onlooker” of plans for lodges, tracks and helicopter access inside World Heritage areas. “Each infrastructure will beget another until the wilderness is gradually degraded with squadrons of helicopters flying over bringing in bed linen and taking out vats of excrement. How confident can we be that the government will properly ­adjudicate what is appropriate within these remote, sensitive, ­special secluded places? Parks and ­Wildlife has gone from protector to developer.”

In a 2015 address to tourism ministers, ­Godfrey raised the spectre of bigger lodges to cater for Korean and Chinese visitors who prefer groups of more than 20. He told them New Zealand hogs this market because its park accommodation sleeps up to 50 walkers a night whereas Australia limits capacity to a maximum of 20. “That in itself is a road block worthy of consideration.”

An echidna snuffles along a grassy stretch beside Olive Lagoon not far from Lake Malbena as we approach the boundary of the World Heritage area on our homeward tramp. “Daniel could land his helicopter here,” Greg French says, pointing to an old dirt logging road that ­terminates at the fringe of this wild place. “So much for ­self-reliance,” he jokes in a dig at the rezoning of Halls Island to accommodate Hackett’s proposed venture. His concern stems from his belief that “the healthiest natural ­environments are found in the middle of big, well-protected nature reserves”. Walking in rewards visitors with sights and sounds worth every ounce of physical effort.

Three years ago, Hackett opposed a proposal for float plane and helicopter access at Lake Ina, where he runs guided fly-fishing trips because “the disturbance and increased human pressure…would have a strong negative impact” on the seclusion and privacy of guests. “That was a thought bubble,” he tells me now, his hackles raised in the heat of dissent. “We’ve been vilified and bullied,” he says of The Wilderness Society’s efforts to block his plan to fly in about 30 parties of six guests a year. “They want to make an example of us so that nobody does anything bigger. It’s politics. We’ve been extremely open. We’re not going to fight the Greens. There has always been that part of Tasmania led by a select group who refuse to have any generational change. We’re just going to do a bloody good job with a type of tourism we couldn’t do 30 years ago.”

When I visit Reg Hall’s daughter Liz McQuilkin at home in Hobart she spreads photographs and maps of her father’s “spiritual” retreat on the ­dining room table. “I was a custodian. I wanted someone who would look after it and respect it. The main issue is the helicopter,” she concedes. “But Dan says there will be relatively few flights and only over a few kilometres of the wilderness area. You can’t lock up everything forever.” She shudders at the controversy. She only accompanied her father here once, in her 20s, riding in with several of his friends on horseback. Reg insisted on walking in. She says he always carried a sawn-off shotgun and a vial of antivenene as protection from snakes.

I’m still on a high from sleeping out, inhaling lungfuls of fresh air, traipsing through forest, ­skirting lagoons and lakes so clear you can see the trout, by the end of the trek able to lift my gaze more often instead of scouring the ground for snakes. My two companions were oblivious to the threat, far more rattled by another presence ­lurking in our final earthly frontiers.

Didn’t know that.

The film studio head was also convinced that the music was terrible and demanded several times that it be removed. Assistant director Guy Hamilton used this to manoeuvre his way into directing his first feature film.

Dinner is simmering away and smelling delicious. The recipe was some left over roast chicken which was a bit dry from yesterday deboned, fry an onion in oil, deglaze with cardboard red wine, add the last of a stockpot stew that has been sitting in a plastic container since the other day, add the dry chicken. Add a bit of water and simmer for 20 minutes. Gonna reheat later and reduce a bit more, at the last minute add shallots and the last of a packet of lettuce mix and have with spagetti and sprinkle with the last of a bag of grated cheese.

How I tricked an international master

Nice bluff against a high rated player. Basically handed the IM a castle but the IM was so suspicious that he wouldn’t take it

Dinner is simmering away and smelling delicious. The recipe was some left over roast chicken which was a bit dry from yesterday deboned, fry an onion in oil, deglaze with cardboard red wine, add the last of a stockpot stew that has been sitting in a plastic container since the other day, add the dry chicken. Add a bit of water and simmer for 20 minutes. Gonna reheat later and reduce a bit more, at the last minute add shallots and the last of a packet of lettuce mix and have with spagetti and sprinkle with the last of a bag of grated cheese.

I think we have to remember that Brazil’s recidivism rate is around 70% while Australia’s is around 45%

their post prison opportunities significantly lower and their standard of living also… although, if they are teaching them to read in prison, this is only going to help wrt job opportunities

I have yet to find a study to back the claim. Perhaps someone made the recidivism rate up. The four days off per book (with several important caveats) is correct. And Brazil is reporting improvements in jail gang-related violence.

Bullrouts, Stonefish & Sting Ray venoms are known to produce 10/10 pain (uncontrollable screaming, loss of consciousness, vomiting etc). You might have noticed that the article mentions the witnesses were ‘too distraught to speak’?

If the results of a sting are uncontrolled screaming, vomiting etc, isn’t it more likely they just passed out and drowned, or at thrashing around and not in control and so drowned than the more dramatic so painful they drowned themselves?

I’ve read that the venom of Chironex fleckeri (the box jellyfish) can be so bad that victims have died just from the pain.

There are some jellyfish whose stings just cause mild pain that goes away in a few hours or so. They’re the ones that have stung me.

Irwin probably wouldn’t mind facetiousness about his death. I’d bet that he viewed such an end as an occupational hazard, a risk he had to run to pursue the kind of work he did. Not to say that he wouldn’t have preferred that it didn’t happen.

I had laid down in very shallow water and pushed myself off to deeper water, but as I did so, I passed full-length over a stingray just a few inches below my body. I remember hoping it didn’t lift its barb and fortunately it didn’t. One of those lucky breaks some have as they are growing up.

So how would the pain compare with say foot blisters from walking?

As an inter-continental ballistic missile might compare to a snide remark.

I don’t know but I’ll guess that death from stingray is very very rare and that you would have to be hit in the torso to be lethal.
Just guessing.

Slab of lean loin pork is soaking in white wine, quatre épices and mild brine, to be baked for tomorrow’s dinner and served with boiled & buttered Bismarcks, cabbage cooked in a little chicken stock, broad beans, peas, mustard.

Tonight there’s curried hen with rice and various veg.

“The truth is … the Liberal Party and the Coalition is not capable of dealing with climate change,” Turnbull told the conference.

“It is just a fact I regret to say. It is like a third rail. We have at the present time in the Coalition, a group of, a constituency, that is the best way to describe it, who believe we should get out of , that climate change is a fraud, the more you have the better, and are literally on another plane.

“They are not prepared to play ball with everybody else.”

Turnbull has previously conceded that any policy on climate change would be extremely difficult for the Liberal-National Coalition because it was treated as an ideological matter within the party.

“The emissions issue and climate policy issues have the same problem within the Coalition of … bitterly entrenched views that are actually sort of more ideological views than views based,” he had said while being forced out as prime minister.

Oh, and it’s the street drags here in Casterton this weekend. It might be a bit noisy around town tonight. I bet we have extra policemen around. Actually, I know we have extra policemen around. It was also the Dunkeld races today, and they generally produce some police work. The Royal Mail (the posh pub in Dunkeld) and our Penshurst pub do not open today. It’s not worth the wrecking to open.
So I guess once the racegoers have cleared out, we can have some of the police over here in Casterton to deal with the wannabes.

At least it’s a quick death.

Most people think that submariners drown when their vessel implodes. In fact, they have a good chance of being incinerated very quickly.

The waters rushes into the tube shape of the pressure hull very rapidly, under great pressure. That rapidly compresses any air in the hull, just as if it were a giant diesel engine cylinder. Very quickly, the air reaches the pressure where it spontaneously ignites, and flash! you’re ash.

We’ve got a baby, anyway. He turns 30 next birthday.

Well, we don’t know cause of death for sure. Only that Mrs SS said it was unexpected.

That was going to be a big weekend of racing, Australian Moto GP at Philip Island, the F1 on Sunday and some production car racing somewhere else.
Stumpy was all set up for a big one.

reheated chicken rice and veggies that I dragged out of the bottom of the freezer. it was better freshly made, but I didn’t want to bother with cooking. Dessert will be a couple of chocolate royals. I’ve drunk some not fabulous orange juice out of a tetra pak, with a couple of my own oranges squeezed into it. I needed more of my own oranges to cover the tetra pak taste. I think I’ll have a big glass of cold Milo soon.

Nothing on TV that I want to watch tonight, so I think I’ll go to bed and read more Pratchett. I am re-reading The Last Continent. I found a rather good bit last night when Fair Go Dibbler is trying to sell Rincewind some artwork.

“He’d seen something like this out in the Red Country, although he’d not been certain that it was art in the way Ankh Morpork understood it. It was more like a map, a history book and a menu all rolled together. Back home, people tied a knot in their handkerchief to remind them of things. Out in the hot country there weren’t any handkerchiefs, so people tied a knot in their thoughts”

Mark Wingett.

Wingett’s partner is Sharon Martin, a makeup artist. They have a daughter, Jamila, and a stepson Benny (from Martin’s previous relationship). The couple separated in 2000 after Yvonne Williams, a fire-eater who had appeared on The Bill as an extra, went to the press detailing her affair with Wingett over a number of years., but had reconciled by 2003 after a two-year separation. They both worked on the 2012 film Snow White and the Huntsman, with Martin as head of the makeup department and Wingett playing the character of Thomas.

Wingett is a keen scuba diver, fisherman, skier and wreck hunter. He started diving in 1984 at a sub-aqua club for London cabbies.

Wingett’s sister, Fiona Wingett, is a magazine editor. She was the editor of New Idea magazine in Australia in the mid-1990s, then returned to Britain to edit the Personal magazine for the Sunday Mirror. His brother, Matthew Wingett, wrote several episodes of The Bill in the 1990s. His first episode, “Thicker than Water” was submitted under the false name “Matthew Brothers”, so that it would not receive favourable treatment because of their relationship.

In 2018, Wingett recorded a two-part interview for The Bill Podcast celebrating his life and career.

I am feeling nothing less than rage, alienation and despair at the moment. Muslims have been on trial for 17 years now. Seventeen years in the dock, in community detention, on parole, out on bail. Seventeen years of punishment and accountability, of collective culpability that turns inwards into confusion, anger, helplessness, shame. Seventeen years ago I was a university student in Melbourne when I was pronounced guilty for the crimes that took place in another country. Seventeen years on and my children now inherit my sentence.

I am expected to “combat radicalism”, take “special responsibility’” for national security, predict random acts of violence by random people whose only connection to me is that they identify as Muslim. On any given day, I have a long to-do list. According to the Prime Minister of this country, on Friday it looked like this: drop kids to school, write book chapter, edit film script, defrost chicken for dinner, help my grandmother with grocery shopping, combat terrorism.

Enough is enough.

From the beginning we have been told we, Australian Muslims, must “take the lead”, “assume primary responsibility”, ensure “social cohesion”. We must avoid others stigmatising us by proving we are not terrorist, not radical, not threat. We are permitted to speak, but only as a disclaimer. We must condemn terrorism. Denounce it, loudly and clearly. You have a voice, they tell us. But there are strict rules on what we can say.

We must provide reassurances that we are loyal, not stealth jihadists, not shariah-takeover. Prove you are integrated; moderate, not extreme. If you do not want to be rejected, you must be extraordinary. An over-achiever, iconic, a role model of our neo-liberal capitalist economy. We must enjoy freedom of religion but not be too Muslim-looking, too Muslim-acting, even too Muslim-thinking. We must accept government money and use it among Muslim youth in a mass social engineering project of producing a generation of apolitical consumers. We must dream big, be ambitious, buy into the neo-liberal capitalist dream, but remember our place.

There are some Muslims today, most of them self-appointed “leaders”, who are rushing again to condemn and reassure. No doubt they issue their press releases and statements in good faith, with a hope that the reassurance they offer will ameliorate any backlash against Muslims by reaffirming Muslims as a community not to be feared. The overall posture of these condemnations is about soothing the anxieties of a wider community whose position as judge and jury is acknowledged, and whose power to afford safety and indeed human worth to Muslims is clearly conceded.

Other Muslims, including some peak bodies, have expressed how fed up they are with these condemnations and assumptions of collective responsibility and guilt. This has been a welcome change. I, an Australian Muslim, refuse to condemn the violence that took place on Bourke Street. To ask me to condemn is to strip me of my basic humanity. It asks me to disprove an assumption that I inherently support such actions; it denies me the right to mourn the loss of life. The act of condemnation immediately binds me to a person – to their life, their history, their motivations, hopes, dreams, fears and troubles – who was one among the 24 million other strangers to me in this country.

Asking Muslims to assume some kind of pastoral responsibility over a mythical homogenous “community” not only relies on a racist framing of every Muslim as a potential terrorist, but it locates the “problem” in Islam and “culture”, not politics. The script we are given for talking about the war on terror is censored and redacted.

We are expected to talk about the Koran, but not the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. We must interrogate what is said in mosques and prayer rooms, but not what this nation says and does to support state-sponsored terrorism. We must condemn violence, but ignore our defence deals with Saudi Arabia and our complicity in the destruction of Yemen, our defence forces training Myanmar’s genocidal armed forces, our explicit support for Israel’s illegal occupation and oppression of Palestinians.

I also refuse to comment and pontificate about the Bourke Street incident itself. Terrorism, mental illness, counter-terrorism operational strategies: everybody is suddenly an expert. Unqualified opinions bloat our public discourse. And perhaps that is the goal. Confusion and obfuscation mean that the debates we actually need to have, the policies and actions we have the right to demand, can be avoided.

After all “national security” has always been a politically expedient agenda that serves only to reinforce a patriarchal, racist, capitalist social order. Terrorism is what happens outside, on our streets, in public, randomly, unpredictably. If our leaders were really horrified by violence, they would pay attention to what is happening in domestic spaces, to women, by their partners and ex-partners. They would treat male violence as a national emergency. They would invest adequate resources into mental health and women’s support services. They would, dare I say it, examine our foreign policy, the role we play in the destruction and oppression of entire populations in the name of the “war on terror”, in the name of “civilisation” and “Australian values”.

Seventeen years on and there is a new generation including activists, people of colour and white allies. Some have grown up and learned the hard way, others have known all along, still others have been born into this paradigm, only ever knowing a world ‘at war on terror’. This new generation will not be played and exploited for political gain.

I’m not very creative when I’m drunk, I seek only peace and timelessness.

Also, as a visual artist and musician, I require sobriety from a practical point of view.

You might have noticed that my painting style is more careful and considered than that of a professional alcoholic like Jackson Pollock.

Jolly good.

Pleasantly mellow this end but looking forward to creative sobriety again.

I put it to you that sobriety is not a friend of creativity.
A lot of the great authors, poets, actors and Al were inveterate pissants whose hidden talents were lubricated and liberated by a whisky and rye.

I’m not very creative when I’m drunk, I seek only peace and timelessness.

Also, as a visual artist and musician, I require sobriety from a practical point of view.

You might have noticed that my painting style is more careful and considered than that of a professional alcoholic like Jackson Pollock.

Pollock didn’t have to worry about keeping the colour within the outline, or other technical considerations.

My current painting should be finished in a couple of weeks, and then I think I’ll try something completely different. Using bright colours that I don’t normally use.

Perhaps a study of strange imaginary flowers, in landscape format, with just a tiny corner space for the sky and moon.

Pollock used a lot of car duco. I could get into that sort of depth of pigment. I don’t think I would feel like chucking it around tho.

He’s got chocolate for me, a giant lollipop for mini me, and toys for her birthday/Christmas.

OK, on one hand Scotland hasn’t been an independent country for 360 years – On the other, they really should own the gas & oil in the North Sea. I really believe if the question was asked again, they would vote to stick with the EU. What are you watching?

A public meeting with SNP pollies talking about Brexit on a facebook group called ‘we are the 45%’.

It does look like it is over 50% these days. And it is mostly because the promises of Westminster at the time of the independence referendum were thrown out promptly after the referendum. Only by staying in the union could they stay in the EU. The SNP’s were not listened to in the run up to the Brexit vote (They wanted foreigners included( if you’re here you’re one of us) and that it had to pass by a majority in England, wales, Ireland and Scotland.) Scotland voted to remain. But Brexit went ahead. And the SNP’s were excluded from the negotiations.

I was incorrect. It seems that ‘the fog of Brexit’ has turned it around again and Scots are saying NO again. A referendum this week might give much the same result.

Huh? What are you talking about? Being a laughing stock isn’t a fail.

So far as I can tell, every century has been a win since the 14th.
The centuries that were indisputable failures were the 3rd to 12th centuries AD.
And those centuries that will be a fail in future are the 23rd to 42nd centuries AD. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Oh, so that’s what you’re talking about. Brexit.

Well, the Channel Tunnel began in 1802.
“The project was abandoned in May 1882, owing to British political and press campaigns asserting that a tunnel would compromise Britain’s national defences.”
It opened in 1994.

Even earlier, we have the Brexit of the Hundred Years’ War from 1337 to 1453.

And before that, the Brexit of Boudica, AD 60 or 61.

Facebook has more of a global focus. These neighbourhood type social things focus locally. They’re mainly for advertising garage sales, specials at the local grocer, hitting on bored housewives, and organising street parties.

Good morning everybody.

23.5°C, 79% RH, 7/8 cloud (mostly low, grey) and a light breeze. ORB = 38 mm (from the storm last night). BoM tells me to expect more rain this morning and a top of 25°C, up from 16.9°C.

Shouldn’t‘ve watered the garden yesterday, should I? My feeble excuse is that everything was dry, the sky was cloudless, it was hot, and the plants had wilted.

Decisions, decisions. We all must make decisions. Might I suggest a good strong cuppa or two before making such a crucial, hard thinking decision like that on a Sunday morning.

You could always go back to bed instead of taxing your mind to such extensive thought processes.

Well, I’m female, so the only interaction I had was a bunch of local guys asking if I wanted to hook up.

Isn’t linkedin for households called Facebook?

Facebook has more of a global focus. These neighbourhood type social things focus locally. They’re mainly for advertising garage sales, specials at the local grocer, hitting on bored housewives, and organising street parties.

we just joined it too… it seems innocuous, but I did’t put the house number in, just the street

there are many advantages to ‘knowing’ you neighbours from a crime perspective. It’s why new estates have parks and gathering spots, the more your neighbours know each other the less likely they are going to a. target you if they are criminally minded and b. not provided guardianship over your property.

I can check the satellite data at the redoubt by going to the Skymesh website and looking at my account.
They also email me when I’ve used 50% of data and email me a warning when it’s close to zero, then I’m shaped.

Don’t know if I can do the same with my home cable connection, I never ever use anywhere near my limit on the home connection so I’ve never looked into it.

I et bacon and eggs and tomatoes and toast with a milkshake for lunch. But then breakfast, eaten in bits through the morning, was a couple of bits of cooking chocolate, a jam doughnut and a couple of cherries. Now I am going to be domesticated and hang the washing on the line, check the poultry for eggs and then have a power nap.

I also had pork sausages and mash last night. And leftovers just now. I shall probably do toasted sandwiches tonight.

When I used to send pigs to the butcher I would get bacon back in big lumps. I could never slice it thin. Thickly cut bacon was a thing back then.

betoota.

People of Italian and Maltese origin are becoming increasingly aware of the fact that Nonna doesn’t give a fuck if you ate earlier, it has been confirmed.

Tony Canterella, a 32-year-old Italian-Australian plumber from Newcastle, has spoken to The Betoota Advocate today about the confronting scenes that took place in his paternal grandmother’s living-room yesterday evening – after he revealed to her that he didn’t feel he was capable of a finishing a third serving of salad and pasta.

“It was almost like she was giving me an ultimatum. Either, eat more, or die a horrible death,”

“She was actually convinced that I would die if I didn’t eat the third, and extremely generous, plate she had forced in front of me,”

Tony says the fact that he had already eaten before he arrived late to dinner at Nonna’s “didn’t mean shit” to the 82-year-old migrant matriarch.

“I’m glad my folks didn’t tell her I’d just been at dinner with my new missus because she would have demanded to meet her… and I’d have to lie and say she was Italian as well”

“She’s always worried about me not eating enough as a big strong growing boy… I’m thirty-two!” said the overweight 3rd-generation Australian.

“There’s no point trying to convince her otherwise. She’ll think I don’t like her food… Which isn’t true. I love her food, it’s the best Italian you’ll ever eat,”

“I just don’t understand why she thinks I need to eat six kilos of pasta at 10:30 PM, God love her”

The Australian-owned SEA Electric will set up the factory in Morwell, in the state’s east, with the first vehicle expected to roll off the production line in about a year.

The company aims to eventually assemble up to 5,000 per year at the site.

As well as meeting the country’s growing demand for electric cars, the deal is expected to create hundreds of jobs.

“Our announcement today, the partnership with SEA Electric, is all about making sure the Latrobe Valley is the national capital for electric vehicles,” Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said.

Good luck but I can’t see them competing on price or quality with such a small scale with anything Toyota and now the Hyundai Ioniq are kicking out and with every other global player exploring the possibilities. Also, compared to Europe Australia is a hostile environment and doesn’t get anything like the tax, registration and congestion charge breaks they get.

5000 cars/year seems a pretty small target for “eventually up to”.

They should get Elon on board. He’d fix it.

Well considering it states the current market is 3000, it sounds overly ambitious to me, albeit, it doesn’t go into details of the business case and manufacturing stages.

It also looks like they have several vehicles and showed the delivery vehicle as an example. I would concentrate just on the delivery van, there is a competitive edge there and it seems perfect for use, a business in city deliveries which also suit the power characteristics would be perfect to take advantage of a charging installation. Also the ( yet to be demonstrated) running and maintenance savings. 10 hours of driving and overnight charge.

But I ain’t a business person.

Under the photo, “The company’s vehicle models include an electric commercial delivery van.”

So not only a small manufacturing run but divided into different vehicles. No economies of scale there.

I havent had to deal with centerlink for over two decades (thank god), but now they have gotten rid of medicare offices apparently and rolled them into centerwank….
Compare the two experiences, I wear glasses and can claim a rebate on optometrist visits…
My one before last set of glasses, got receipt from optometrist, went into medicare office during lunchbreak, in and out in under 5 minutes…
Last set, got receipt and went to centerlink….
Almost an hour later, finally get to talk to an actual person at desk, after filling out forms on computer
Told that they can’t give refund because my optometrist isnt on ‘their list’
points out that said optometrist works at OPSM- written in big bold letters at top of receipt- maybe they have heard of them, sell a lot of glasses???
Nope OPSM isnt on their list…
I can see that they have internet destroyer open on their page, grab keyboard and google OPSM- point- see???
No, I ‘could have made that site up, and I am now being asked to leave because I ‘touched their equipment inappropriately’ (LOL- where did the nasty man touch you computer, point it out on this doll…)

I demand to see their manager
They call out to a armed security guard…

I get out notebook and want their name and guards name, they want to know why, I tell them that I want to know a- who to have fired and b- who to sue….

Manager finally wanders over (I had seen her before, spend a lot of time in a small group of employees, laughing and i dare say not actually doing any work by the look of it)
After hearing her fellow employees made up story, (and the BS she claimed I had done, making threatening gestures to her and I had verbally assaulted her, saying I had said things that I had not actually said), I told her that no I was not a ‘dole bludger’ , but I was actually on my lunch break (now well over thanks to them) and was there for a medicare claim…

Suddenly it was all smiles and an apology, I am so sorry sir, there must have been a misunderstanding, I am sure we can sort it all out- “tap,tap,tap, there you go all approved now” and she will phone my boss and explain my delay so I wouldn’t get in trouble…

Apparently thats how people on benefits get treated as opposed to ‘real people’ like me that work…
Centerlink apparently hasnt informed all its staff that ‘real people’ will now be using their facilities and the crap they have been dealing out to people on the dole wont fly anymore

Quite frankly, the whole department is toxic, and needs to be gutted completely and start again from scratch imho
Glad I havent needed to deal with them for the last twenty years..

This is odd. I’m an optometrist (for anyone who hasn’t worked it out yet). I have Medicare Easyclaim on my eftpos machine, because I am not online. The patient pays however they want – cash/cheque/card – and then we ask them for their Medicare card and a debit card (you can’t use a credit card for a claim). We swipe the Medicare card through the eftpos machine, key in stuff and the machine offers the patient a rebate. We/they accept and we put in the debit card. They PIN. Money immediately in their account. One of the patients last week brought up her banking app on her phone and we watched the money go in before our machine had finished printing off the receipt papers.

I expected OPSM to be online and be able to do the claim immediately for you.

This is for the consultation. Claiming for glasses is a private health insurance matter and different.

Reading boppa’s stuff again, it sounds like that was a glasses claim. So not Medicare. Maybe Medicare Private? Are they in the Centrelink offices? I thought not. But I’m still surprised OPSM couldn’t/didn’t do the claim through their machine under the HICAPS system. I’m not in that because they can’t work me out and frankly, they don’t pay me nor my staff to do their work. My patients get a Tax Invoice and make their own claims.

I have had lots of correspondence over the years explaining to various health funds that as optical dispensing in Victoria is unregulated, and anyone can make glasses in their garage if they want to, the health fund must pay on a valid Tax Invoice because the contract they have is not with me but with their client. One of the funds tried to knock back one of my solicitor patients once…they got the full legal spiel. And he gave me a copy so I’d know the right words too.

I am cooking roast pork, roast potatoes and steamed broccoli. Woollies had crazy pork chops. I’ve been buying their odd vegetables for some time but it’s the first time I’ve seen the odds and sods in the meat department. They had pork and lamb chops. I’ve stood the various sized bits up on end and skewered them, with the thinner ones in the middle. It’s smelling good, anyway.

‘Chinese officials barge into PNG Foreign Minister’s office

Four officials forced their way into Rimbink Pato’s office after being repeatedly denied a meeting to discuss the wording of the final communique of the APEC summit in Port Moresby.’ – ABC News

Things have not gone just as our northern trading partner might have wished, over the last several days.

Sorry Buffy, the issue was my card had expired by a month, so I needed a new card, and had to submit the claim in person (due to the expired card), so they couldnt do it at the OPSM office

But I found it ‘odd’ that they couldnt find OPSM on their ‘list of approved suppliers’

The really disturbing thing was the attitude of the centerlink woman, who was outright accusing me of attempting to defraud ‘them’ because OPSM apparently doesnt exist on their computers (or more to the point, she obviosly didnt know how to use it correctly as the manager managed to find it in seconds), but to actually lie about what I said to the manager and call an security guard over??
Thats beyond the pale in my book

What can i say? She’s a fuckwit. You’ll find them in Centrelink, just like everywhere else.

I’ve been on the other side of the mirror. Dealt with a Centrelink client who was clearly looking for a fight, but i wouldn’t give them one. Patiently explained what had to be done and why. Ignored the client’s bad language and abuse. Later went to make some notes on the client’s computer file (i.e. don’t take ‘punitive’ action too quick, client needs more time etc.), only to find she’d rung C’link and told a whole lot of fairy tales about how i’d abused her, used foul language, accused her of fraud, suggested that she was a criminal etc.

Custs both ways,

Ah, that makes more sense. Although, it wouldn’t be OPSM they had to find. On your receipt should have been the optometrist’s provider number . A registered optometrist has a provider number for each address that they work at. Perhaps that was the problem – someone didn’t know how to recognize a provider number.

(And if the Easyclaim comes back with expired card, we know how to alter the number to the new number. It happens quite often that someone will have the old card in their wallet and their spouse has the new one. So we just enter the number manually and do the claim. It’s not fraud, because the new card has been issued, as evidenced by the fact that the claim goes through with the new number. You just need to know how the number changes with each new card.)

I just found the whole thing extremely time consuming, and I did NOT appreciate that her first response to the manager was to lie about what I had done… and then to double down and lie further…
It tends to support many of the horror stories I have heard from others about centerlink (including some from my mother about pensions)
They definitely seem to have an attitude about them…
Maybe there are some good ones out there, but from what I have seen and heard so far, they would seem to be in the minority

Yes, when I last used an optometrist I gave them the old card and they just added a 5 onto the end of it and it went through.

President Trump’s proposed budget cuts to fighting wildfires could be deadly for the Western U.S.

As smokeaters in the Golden State are battling 14 major wildfires, Congress is debating a White House proposal to cut $300 million from the U.S. Forest Service’s wildfire fighting initiatives and $50 million from its wildfire prevention efforts — all on top of a 23% reduction of federal funding for volunteer fire departments around the nation.

I blame the same sort of situation as Australia, people building where they shouldn’t, wanting the forest lifestyle but not prepared for fire and the accumulation of 30 years of build up as forestry services are finding it harder and harder to do burns, following a culture where prevention of all burns was the paradigm.

Cuts have to be found somewhere, and all sectors of society have to take a deep breath and move a belt in a notch or two. It’s for the good of the country. How else are we going to raise military expenditure from a meager 16% of the Federal budget? How else can we give the richest 1% a much needed tax cut? The real patriots understand that sacrifices need to be made.

Evening. Drank beer from a can instead of wine this weekend. Young Henry’s something or other, not bad.

I usually pour beer from a can or stubbie into a glass before drinking. I just prefer it like that.

(sits back with popcorn)

Sure, but I ain’t carrying a glass 20kms into a wilderness area.

More to it than that, there was a debt somewhere along the line and the government didn’t pay cos it was doing the Latin rotating government thing which we have also taken up.

It was illegally settled by lots of Americans looking to set up cattle ranches. The same ones that later declared themselves independent of the rest of Mexico.

Sometimes one will read a news article about a politician being stupid and one will wonder whether they are being misrepresented.

That doesn’t appear to be the case here. Ardent “Leave” campaigner and conservative MP Nadine Dorries has come out against Teresa May’s Brexit deal because it does not give the UK any Members of European Parliament or European Commissioners.


Theresa May’s Brexit deal has been slammed by arch-leave MP Nadine Dorries – because it means the UK will be left without any Members of the European Parliament.

The Tory backbencher, who campaigned tirelessly to get the country out of Europe, said Ms May’s deal would leave the UK without any influence in Europe.

“This is a very sad place to be,” she told Sky News. “But unfortunately, the future of the country and of our relationship with Europe is at stake. This deal gives us no voice, no votes, no MEPs, no commissioner.”

Her words were met with astonishment online.


It is not the first admission to make voters wonder if leave-supporting politicians knew exactly what they were campaigning for during the referendum.

Just last week, leave voter and ex-Brexit secretary Dominic Raab let slip he “hadn’t quite understood” how heavily UK trade relies on the Dover-Calais Channel crossing.

Only slightly related, but from my recent reading of The Last Lion, Churchill whilst in America was ( I think) accosted by some senators wife lambasting him about colonialism and Indians. He said something like, which Indians do you mean, ours which are increasing and developing or yours which I believe are nearly extinct?

She went to the GP on Tuesday because she was having trouble breathing. GP sent her to the emergency dept, where she was found to have a blood clot in each lung. Blood thinners weren’t working fast enough so she ended up in emergency surgery. The next day, she started having seizures and was rushed into surgery again and woke up in ICU.

She’s younger than me, seemed very healthy (apparently not as much as she thought!), married in Disneyland last year, loves her job, seemingly perfect life… and shit like this happens.

My experience of using glyphosate (Zero) of over 30 years is that it works as long as the stuff dries on the leaves. So don’t despair. More than likely it will work.

Thank you, WP.

There’s a connection between Mason-Dixon and me old mucker Cavendish.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mason%E2%80%93Dixon_line#Systematic_errors_and_experiments_to_weigh_the_Earth

Mason and Dixon could only do the work as accurately as they did due to the work of Nevil Maskelyne, some of whose instruments they used. There was keen interest in their work and much communication between the surveyors, Maskelyne and other members of the British Scientific establishment in the Royal Society in Britain, notably Henry Cavendish. During such survey work, it is normal to survey from point to point along the line and then survey back to the starting point, where if there were no errors the origin and re-surveyed position would coincide. Normally the return errors would be random – i.e. the return survey errors compared to the intermediate points back to the start point would be spatially randomly distributed around the start point. Mason and Dixon found that there were larger than expected systematic errors, i.e. non-random errors, that led the return survey consistently being in one direction away from the starting point. When this information got back to the Royal Society members, Henry Cavendish realised that this may have been due to the gravitational pull of the Allegheny Mountains deflecting the theodolite plumb-bobs and spirit levels. Maskelyne then proposed measuring the gravitational force causing this deflection induced by the pull of a nearby mountain upon a plumb-bob in 1772 and sent Mason (who had returned to England) on a site survey through central England and Scotland to find a suitable location during the summer of 1773. Mason selected Schiehallion at which to conduct what became known as the Schiehallion experiment, which was carried out primarily by Maskelyne and determined the density of the Scottish mountain. Several years later Cavendish used a very sensitive torsion balance to carry out the Cavendish experiment and determine the average density of Earth.

Sailing to Philadelphia
Mark Knopfler
I am Jeremiah Dixon
I am a Geordie boy
A glass of wine with you, sir
And the ladies I’ll enjoy
All Durham and Northumberland
Is measured up by my own hand
It was my fate from birth
To make my mark upon the earth
He calls me Charlie Mason
A stargazer am I
It seems that I was born
To chart the evening sky
They’d cut me out for baking bread
But I had other dreams instead
This baker’s boy from the west country
Would join the Royal Society
We are sailing to Philadelphia
A world away from the coaly Tyne
Sailing to Philadelphia
To draw the line
A Mason-Dixon Line
Now you’re a good surveyor, Dixon
But I swear you’ll make me mad
The West will kill us both
You gullible Geordie lad
You talk of liberty
How can America be free
A Geordie and a baker’s boy
In the forests of the Iroquois
Now hold your head up, Mason
See America lies there
The morning tide has raised
The capes of Delaware
Come up and feel the sun
A new morning has begun
Another day will make it clear
Why your stars should guide us here
We are sailing to Philadelphia
A world away from the coaly Tyne
Sailing to Philadelphia
To draw the line
A Mason-Dixon Line

Dave Cameron though there was no chance it would get up. The real Brexiteers all resigned or backed the fuck off once Leave won, leaving Teresa May (a Remainer) to do the hard work. Now they’re cavilling from the sidelines.

I agree, I also get the feeling that no one is trying really hard, amongst the elites an exit is not popular, they ain’t exactly giving it a red hot go, more looking for impediments so they can’t do it and dragging the feet.

To make my mark upon the earth
He calls me Charlie Mason
A stargazer am I
It seems that I was born
To chart the evening sky
They’d cut me out for baking bread
But I had other dreams instead
This baker’s boy from the west country
Would join the Royal Society
We are sailing to Philadelphia
A world away from the coaly Tyne
Sailing to Philadelphia
To draw the line
A Mason-Dixon Line
Now you’re a good surveyor, Dixon
But I swear you’ll make me mad
The West will kill us both
You gullible Geordie lad
You talk of liberty
How can America be free
A Geordie and a baker’s boy
In the forests of the Iroquois
Now hold your head up, Mason
See America lies there
The morning tide has raised
The capes of Delaware
Come up and feel the sun
A new morning has begun
Another day will make it clear
Why your stars should guide us here
We are sailing to Philadelphia
A world away from the coaly Tyne
Sailing to Philadelphia
To draw the line
A Mason-Dixon Line

It just gets betterer.

A lot of the government members think May’s deal leaves them still partially in the EU but now without a voice, that is probably the thrust of what she was saying but the usual media suspects have twisted it in the hope that it will go viral on the internet and the fake story will get posted all over the place by labour apparatchiks.

Could be that.

I get the feeling though, that nobody has really thought this through in advance.

I agree, I also get the feeling that no one is trying really hard, amongst the elites an exit is not popular, they ain’t exactly giving it a red hot go, more looking for impediments so they can’t do it and dragging the feet.

If only Corbyn was in charge…:)

That’s not the same as questioning the wisdom of some peoples’ ideas of home locations.

He taught me a few things. I refused to think of buying a particular house, because i looked at its setting on the slightly-uphill edge of a bushland reserve area.

‘If there’s a fire’, i thought, ‘it’ll come through there like an express train.’

Several years later, there was, and it did. No casualties, but severe damage.

“Mason and Dixon could only do the work as accurately as they did due to the work of Nevil Maskelyne, some of whose instruments they used. There was keen interest in their work and much communication between the surveyors, Maskelyne and other members of the British Scientific establishment in the Royal Society in Britain, notably Henry Cavendish. During such survey work, it is normal to survey from point to point along the line and then survey back to the starting point, where if there were no errors the origin and re-surveyed position would coincide. Normally the return errors would be random – i.e. the return survey errors compared to the intermediate points back to the start point would be spatially randomly distributed around the start point. Mason and Dixon found that there were larger than expected systematic errors, i.e. non-random errors, that led the return survey consistently being in one direction away from the starting point. When this information got back to the Royal Society members, Henry Cavendish realised that this may have been due to the gravitational pull of the Allegheny Mountains deflecting the theodolite plumb-bobs and spirit levels. Maskelyne then proposed measuring the gravitational force causing this deflection induced by the pull of a nearby mountain upon a plumb-bob in 1772 and sent Mason (who had returned to England) on a site survey through central England and Scotland to find a suitable location during the summer of 1773. Mason selected Schiehallion at which to conduct what became known as the Schiehallion experiment, which was carried out primarily by Maskelyne and determined the density of the Scottish mountain. Several years later Cavendish used a very sensitive torsion balance to carry out the Cavendish experiment and determine the average density of Earth. “

It does get betterer.

A missing locomotive.

I’ve been making a godawful mess digging out what’s left of my old models trains and found one loco and a dozen or so wagons, but there was another loco and other wagons missing that I’m sure I hadn’t disposed of.

Finally found those items in an old carved wooden box. Now I have to clean up all the chaos I’ve caused.

So this movie Widows is getting some good reviews. It’s based on the old British TV series of that name that some of you may remember.

“Directed by Steve McQueen”

You know …

Most people in the entertainment industry who have the same name as an existing icon of the industry would choose to distinguish it using a middle initial or something. Evidently Steve McQueen, director, has some balls.

Many don’t just choose to distinguish themselves. If there’s someone in the same union, eg SAG, they can’t be registered under the same name as someone else. Still, it is gutsy to call yourself by the same name as a Hollywood icon.

This really does seem to be a peculiar conceit of the Right: that deep down everyone else is a stupid hateful dickhead but just too shy to say so.
I’m sort of hoping that ALP runs a few ballot measures on various issues to strengthen their hand on social issues. I am aware that a lot of the queer community opposed the postal ballot on marriage and I’m not going to say they’re wrong on that, but it did give an opportunity for normal decent Australians to say, “Fuck off. You don’t speak for us. You’re not the quiet majority. Fuck … off. “

Wikipedia says:

>>The title role in the 1960s British Maigret TV series was played by the actor Rupert Davies who made his debut on 31 October 1960. Davies took over the part after Basil Sydney, who appeared as Maigret in the original transmitted pilot, proved unavailable due to ill-health. Davies went on to star in 52 adaptations for BBC TV in that decade. His portrayal won two of the highest accolades: his versions were dubbed into French and played across the Channel; and Simenon himself presented Davies with a novel inscribed to his “perfect Maigret”. The theme tune to the TV series was composed by Ron Grainer.

Granada Television produced an adaptation of Maigret for ITV in 1992 and 1993, in which Michael Gambon starred as Maigret; there were 12 adaptations in the two series. An earlier version (1988) on ITV cast Richard Harris in the lead role, with a somewhat idiosyncratic reading of the character.<<

May have seen the Michael Gambon ones. Possibly the earlier ones.

ONLY a fool would sit on the deck of a sinking ship forlornly hoping that something will happen that will suddenly reverse the imminent demise of your vessel. Anyone with any sense will look around for an escape and then rush to the lifeboat. That time is fast approaching for Scotland. We have one lifeboat to escape from the disaster of Brexit – and that boat is called independence.

Interesting news blog from New Jersey / New York. 16 Nov.

Dear N.J., I just moved here and it took me 12 hours to get home in the snow

From wikipedia.

2018 is the most destructive wildfire season on record in California, with a total of 7,579 fires burning an area of 1,667,855 acres (6,749.57 km2), the largest amount of burned acreage recorded in a fire season, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and the National Interagency Fire Center, as of November 11. The fires caused more than $2.975 billion in damages, including $1.366 billion in fire suppression costs.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Fire_(2018)

The Camp Fire is the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history. Named after Camp Creek Road—its place of origin—the fire started on November 8, 2018, in Butte County, in Northern California. The fire has caused 76 civilian fatalities, injured 12 civilians and five firefighters, covered an area of about 140,000 acres (57,000 ha), and destroyed 11,862 structures, including 9,700 single-family homes and 118 apartment buildings, with most of the damage occurring within the first two days.

Summary of structural damage as of November 17.

Damaged and Destroyed Structures

Structure Type, Damaged, Destroyed, Total

Single Family Residence 297 9,700 9,997
Multiple Family Residence 22 191 213
Mixed Commercial / Residence 1 8 9
Commercial 73 367 440

1,200 people stall missing in Camp Fire. The blaze has currently charred 149,500 acres and is 60 percent contained.

Camp Fire is the most destructive ever in the history of California. Does that mean it’s the most destructive in the USA?

149,500 acres is not all that big. It’s 600 square km.

Camp Fire is the most destructive ever in the history of California. Does that mean it’s the most destructive in the USA?

149,500 acres is not all that big. It’s 600 square km.

Camp Fire is the sixth deadliest in the world since 1936. Perhaps higher on the chart if you include other California fires that started on the same day. Merhaps higher up the chart if the missing people are found dead. Not as deadly as Australia’s Black Saturday fires from 2009.

The wikipedia article on the 1997 Indonesia wildfires is extremely poor. For starters, it doesn’t give either the date or location.

“As satellite data of the fire hotspots shows, forest fires have affected the length and breadth of Indonesia. Among the worst hit areas are southern Borneo (including Kapuas district) and western Sumatra.” The fires “have been raging since July” for so long than they continued over into 1998. Dried peat contributed significantly to the fires.

Kept getting lost in this pallatious office indoor/outdoor type building for the second interview, kept running into famous people who’d tell me where the room was but it was never there and there was always work going on and wet concrete on my good shoes and I was getting angrier and angrier………….

I skipped a question there but I did know Ralph. The ones I didn’t know where the nationality of “Abu” who I am not familiar with and also can’t remember Bob’s brother’s name.

Apu, of course, is American, after the events of Season Seven’s “Much Apu About Nothing”.

No.

However, in the Simpsons, there are tons of innuendo which is designed to go over the heads of younger kids. Partner the burlesque house with the nosy housewives club’s outcries of sex and “Won’t someone think of the children?”, and Krusty’s outburst about the Sex Cauldron, one could argue that it is implied that Maison Derrière could be a brothel.

There was a wedding magazine called White until recently. It was never a major publication but it came into serious financial trouble over the past year because of its ban on showing same sex weddings. Some people considered this tantamount to discrimination, and several advertisers withdrew, and the magazine had to close down.

The publishers say that they are secular and that the reason for not showing same sex weddings are stylistic, aesthetic.

To my mind this is in the “shit happens” category. Business is tough some times and you have to adapt to survive.

The Australian front page headline is “Religious freedom lost as magazine shuts”. It continues “Australia faces a crisis of freedom as growing numbers of Christians find themselves bullied out of business…”

(shrugs) How is this a crisis of freedom? Readers are free to boycott. Advertisers are free to withdraw. They aren’t the first magazine to go under, quite a lot of them don’t last long these days, it’s a tough market. Does The Australian want some kind of guarantee that magazines will remain economically viable when they make unpopular decisions?

Some Christians seem to have a very curious idea of religious freedom.

I’d have thought their time would be better spent campaigning against practices in those countries where people are imprisoned or executed for breaching the rules of a particular religion.

(shrugs) How is this a crisis of freedom? Readers are free to boycott. Advertisers are free to withdraw. They aren’t the first magazine to go under, quite a lot of them don’t last long these days, it’s a tough market. Does The Australian want some kind of guarantee that magazines will remain economically viable when they make unpopular decisions?

Some Christians seem to have a very curious idea of religious freedom.

I’d have thought their time would be better spent campaigning against practices in those countries where people are imprisoned or executed for breaching the rules of a particular religion.

To the best of my knowledge …
the only ones campaigning on this as a religious freedom issue are the Murdoch press.

The publishers themselves are not happy but they don’t appear to be casting it in the same light as The Australian.

There was a wedding magazine called White until recently. It was never a major publication but it came into serious financial trouble over the past year because of its ban on showing same sex weddings. Some people considered this tantamount to discrimination, and several advertisers withdrew, and the magazine had to close down.

The publishers say that they are secular and that the reason for not showing same sex weddings are stylistic, aesthetic.

To my mind this is in the “shit happens” category. Business is tough some times and you have to adapt to survive.

serious question

can you discriminate against hetero, or is that positive discrimination?

Are you asking if there are types of discrimination against heterosexual people that are illegal or generally regarded as unacceptable?

The answer would seem to be obviously yes, so I guess I must have misinterpreted the question.

Don’t mind me, I love categories, i’m a collection of categories looking for a home, a secret squatter of sorts.

A happy misanthrope, spectator to the love.

Over a thousand people still missing in California?

Yes …

I mean you look at the size of burnt area … this is going to be bad, worse than Black Saturday

It’s currently smaller than half the burnt area and smaller than half the death toll of Black Saturday.
By any standards, Black Saturday was BIG.

But what really confuses me is that the 1997 Indonesia forest fires were bigger even that Black Saturday, but I can only find SFA about them on the web. I do know that they started in July 1997 and were still burning in Jan 1998. I do know that they involved peat as well as forest. I do know that they created a lot of smoke, as seen from satellites and on the ground. I do know that most of Indonesia caught fire, including parts of Borneo and Sumatra.

But that’s all, and less than half of that is on Wikipedia.

Is there an Indonesian language newspaper that may have more information?

That’s incorrect. Black Saturday burnt about 4500 sq km. Currently the California fires have burnt 6750 sq km, and the total increases greatly each day, in much more highly populated areas than rural Victoria.

and smaller than half the death toll of Black Saturday.

There are over 1000 people unaccounted for. The current total known dead is likely a small fraction of the final total.

Trouble is, there are a wide range of types of discrimination, ranging from acceptable to any reasonable person through to unacceptable to any reasonable person.

So for instance whilst it seems to me perfectly reasonable to expect an applicant for a position as a vicar to be a practicing Christian, it is not reasonable to demand that all employees in a religious school should be practicing Christians, or even that they should not be practicing homosexuals.

So I think there are plenty of examples of religious discrimination that you should have a problem with.

Perhaps true. Camp Fire, the one with the greatest death toll, is only 566 sq km. A lot less than 4500 sq km.

ABCnews just said 1300 peoples.

I have also been thinking about the quiet uproar about various rich people hiring their own firefighters. And what I am thinking is swinging this way and then that.Reading Deevs post yesterday about how the budget was cut for the fireys and the volunteer fireys has changed how I feel again.

pfff, you need to burn about 1000 brown people before anyone notices.

A quarter of the way there (at least) 240 dead. Found this:

October 25, 1997 Losses due to forest and land fires in East Kalimantan from April to October reached Rp. 91.22 billion, while the area burned was 33,813.78 ha.

During September-December 1997, Forests and Land in Sumatra were burned 102,431.36 hectares with losses of around Rp. 528.5 billion.

Forest fires in Kalimantan and Sumatra during October 1997-1998 were estimated at 2.1 million hectares.

Let’s see. 2.1 million hectares = 21,000 sq km. But this is an entire country for an entire bushfire season.

‘California wildfires: Finland bemused by Trump raking comment’ – BBC News

‘Finns have been baffled by US President Donald Trump’s comments praising the country for managing its vast forests by raking.

Citing a conversation with his Finnish counterpart, Mr Trump said they spend “a lot of time on raking and cleaning”.

But President Sauli Niinisto told a Finnish daily he could not remember talking about raking when the two met…

“(Trump said) I was with the president of Finland, and he said: ‘We have a much different …, we’re a forest nation.’ And they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things, and they don’t have any problem,” he added.’

The Troll Doll just talking out of his arse again.

How can anyone believe anything the idiot says? He just makes up stuff as he goes along. The concepts of ‘fact’, ‘honesty’ and ‘truth’ are completely alien to him, as they seem to be to his staff.

One of the things I have read about Scandinavia is that they know their forests are limited and that is reflected in Scandinavian design historically..which is all about minimalism and sustainability. I suppose Ikea doesn’t really do that anymore.

If it wasn’t for the strength of the US I’d be a bit worried.
You’ve got the French President in the Bundestag breaking down and crying that we need to be friends while the Chancellor of the Reich looked on coldly thinking maybe third time lucky while Britain is awash in spilt milk.
In the meantime to the North East the shirtless Russian leader is wrestling wildlife while his scientists put the finishing touches on the deployment of their unstoppable hypersonic missiles.

To say nothing of our Chinese friends laying claim to anything that isn’t actually submerged at low tide, to push their border and their ‘territorial waters’ ever southward and eastward, as well as setting up mortgages for Pacific nations, to be foreclosed on at some near date.

You’ve got the French President in the Bundestag breaking down and crying that we need to be friends while the Chancellor of the Reich looked on coldly thinking maybe third time lucky while Britain is awash in spilt milk.

To say nothing of our Chinese friends laying claim to anything that isn’t actually submerged at low tide, to push their border and their ‘territorial waters’ ever southward and eastward, as well as setting up mortgages for Pacific nations, to be foreclosed on at some near date.

They’ll use paratroops to secure large regional airports before the big transports start spewing men an material, airports like Wellcamp.

S’ok, Me and Mrs S will be living in Sweden by then.

Dunno, had a red bellied black do that to me at the Redoubt, then we both turned and went on our ways.

Interesting. I looked up flaring the neck, and it appears it’s a common sign of agitation in most snakes.

Apparently Red’s do to according to the Australian Museum

“If unable to escape the snake will rear up with its head and forebody held off but parallel to the ground, spread its neck and hiss loudly, and may even make mock strikes with a closed mouth. “

We were both startled so I guess the hissing was fair.

And we are back. As it is over 30 degrees and has been for some hours, we brought the drive to the Telstra Business Centre in Warrnambool forward to today. Airconditioned car. So I’ve been and complained about being billed for the extra phone lines that were on my original NBN contract but deleted by Don the Installer when he installed for me.

Telstra lady: “but our system says they are connected”
Me: “Well, they don’t physically exist, so I should not be paying for them. Don the Installer phoned and cancelled them on the day. I was standing beside him when he did it”
Telstra lady: “So was the installer a dodo?”
Me: “No, he is a very well experienced technician of many years”
Telstra lady: “So I guess Telstra is the dodo…”

So now I have some washing to do, and I need to get some tunes into my head for the new pacing for CPR as we are updating some local doctors next Saturday. There is also ironing. And I need to write the Letter to the Parents for this week. And people tell me when I retire I will be bored….I don’t think so.

I had a visitor. She brought me custard tarts that tasted like real eggs and real vanilla and had a lovely short pastry. And turnovers with rhubarb and creme patisserie and toasted almonds in puffy puff pastry. All gone.

She also picked up my etching paper from Hobart and so now I have no excuse not to make.

I’m back inside. I went out to put the low water sprinkler on for the birds and ended up watering the chooks, filling the dog paddling pool, refilling various water dishes around the garden and watering the loganberries and raspberries. Now I have got a nice big glass of cold Milo and a bowl of Wandin cherries to consume while I write a letter to Mum and Dad.

The local plumber is up on the roof clearing the gutters before tomorrow’s (hopefully plentiful) expected rain.

snakes aren’t really companion types. we often anthropomorphise animals to what we think should happen based on our own experiences, but many animals are solitary creatures and live like that in the wild. Just because a number of animals are in the same spot does not indicate sociability.

The one thing people say often at the zoo is ‘oh look at that tiger, they are by themselves, they must be lonely” which is not true at all.. they don’t hang out together in the wild.

I mean I never had a ferret before but she follows people around, likes to “help” around the house and licks us when we get home, is it simple animals behaviours or does she have an emotional bond with us.

that would depend on the animal… I suppose the ferret knows their food source and that may be the basis of their behaviour

Emotional bonding with humans could be due to evolution, less likely to kill or eat friendly animals, pets (bar those that mistreat them) seem to flourish compared to most wild counterparts at the cost of some problem solving intelligence (even that is debatable perhaps)

most of the animals we ‘pet’ are from a long line of selective breeding and cohabitation with humans. I don’t credit emotional bonding (apart from maybe dogs who have a well developed frontal cortex) in most animals. Recognition of a food provider and emotional bonding are different things.

It looks like two black ducks have become permanent residents in our front yard. At first a pair would turn up on rare occasions, say once a fortnight. Then more often, each morning. Now they are here four or five times a day. Given that they are sharing a small yard with a cat that chases after them, that is pretty amazing.

I hope they don’t try to raise ducklings here.

I admit that I don’t know much about ferrets, are they pack type animals? I also don’t know much about their higher cognitive functions or if their prefrontal cortex is well developed. Cats have a very underdeveloped prefrontal cortex and basically don’t give a shit, but do and can cohabit with humans, and certainly recognise who gives them their food – does that mean they bond emotionally? (I’d say not)

Now they are here four or five times a day. Given that they are sharing a small yard with a cat that chases after them, that is pretty amazing.

I hope they don’t try to raise ducklings here.

That small X no longer exists. Now to edit it it wants me to log in, or I can use Facebook. Bastards. I’ll cope with it as is, or find another one.

Yeah. I that it when TV channels hack into my system. Can you get a system that blocks such malware.

I reckon ferret thinks it’s part of the family just like dogs do.

I admit that I don’t know much about ferrets, are they pack type animals? I also don’t know much about their higher cognitive functions or if their prefrontal cortex is well developed. Cats have a very underdeveloped prefrontal cortex and basically don’t give a shit, but do and can cohabit with humans, and certainly recognise who gives them their food – does that mean they bond emotionally? (I’d say not)

They usually hang out in groups and she may get lonely and we are her surrogate ferret family

“ A group of ferrets is commonly referred to as a “business”“

well I did not know that

Even bigger dicks are people who think that eating parts of a tiger that another dick has killed will somehow imbue them with the characteristics of the tiger.

especially with no supported evidence… the belief is based on what Mr Wong down the road told them and dubious confirmation bias.

Finnish President Sauli Niinistö said in an interview published Sunday that although President Donald Trump claimed the European leader told him Finns rarely have forest fires because they “spend a lot of time raking,” he doesn’t recall discussing that with Trump when they met last weekend in Paris.

Niinistö told the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat, a CNN affiliate, that the subject of raking was never brought up in his conversations with Trump. He said that they did discuss the California wildfires when they met, and that he told Trump “we take care of our forests.”
The Finnish President told the newspaper that he intended to convey that although Finland is covered by forests, the nation has a good monitoring system which has helped to prevent catastrophic wildfires. He added that he only sees raking in his own yard, and surmised that raking perhaps came to Trump’s mind after he saw firefighters raking some of the burned areas in California.
Still, Trump mentioned raking while surveying the devastation in Northern California on Saturday.
“I was with the President of Finland and he said we have — much different — we are a forest nation. He called it a forest nation,” Trump said. “And they spend a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things, and they don’t have any problem. And when it is, it’s a very small problem. So I know everybody’s looking at that to that end.”

Well, that’s a relief.(?) I thought I bought a new tablet computer on ebay and it hadn’t turned up. But there’s no sign on MyEbay that i ever bought it. I had the order mixed up with a different order (plastic cover for mobile) than Missy had bought.

I wonder what happened to that tablet I thought I bought.

Something like this perhaps.

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10-Inch-Dual-SIM-Camera-3G-4G-Octa-Core-Tablet-PC-Android-4-4-2GB-16GB-WIFI-Lot/351907789140

$6.17 for a 10” tablet brand new seems like good value for money.

“I was with the President of Finland and he said we have — much different — we are a forest nation. He called it a forest nation,” Trump said. “And they spend a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things, and they don’t have any problem. And when it is, it’s a very small problem. So I know everybody’s looking at that to that end.”

He isn’t good with climate. Or weather.

this Finish guy sounds like he has a screw loose to even question the validity of anything Trump says… probably fake news anyway. Everything I have read about Trump tells me that he has great people, the best, looking into stuff.

Fake news is quite disturbing we already have computer generated heads that look like a real person speaking and are quite convincing, not sure if examined closely they generate unwanted digital artifacts that distinguish them as fakes.

Finnish President Sauli Niinistö said in an interview published Sunday that although President Donald Trump claimed the European leader told him Finns rarely have forest fires because they “spend a lot of time raking,” he doesn’t recall discussing that with Trump when they met last weekend in Paris.

Niinistö told the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat, a CNN affiliate, that the subject of raking was never brought up in his conversations with Trump. He said that they did discuss the California wildfires when they met, and that he told Trump “we take care of our forests.”
The Finnish President told the newspaper that he intended to convey that although Finland is covered by forests, the nation has a good monitoring system which has helped to prevent catastrophic wildfires. He added that he only sees raking in his own yard, and surmised that raking perhaps came to Trump’s mind after he saw firefighters raking some of the burned areas in California.

there were wild fires up near the arctic circle recently. But mostly California is always on fire and Norway not so much.

It could be due to forest management in some cases and if you don’t learn well its on you then.

Eventually the log in page, settings page and every menu will have ads.

They are working on ads for when the tv is off.

Also ads for when you are dreaming when asleep,

Ubiquitous and subliminal ads are here.

Just about, ads for weird underwear will be first

Interactive ads in underwear could give advice to some people about hygiene.

It could get embarrassing in public.

One ad was literally so embarassing in public that it forced the resignation of a politician. An earlier ad was so pulically embarassing that it got a large number of people arrested. Both were tempting. If it looks too good to be true then it is.

Trouble is, there are a wide range of types of discrimination, ranging from acceptable to any reasonable person through to unacceptable to any reasonable person.

So for instance whilst it seems to me perfectly reasonable to expect an applicant for a position as a vicar to be a practicing Christian, it is not reasonable to demand that all employees in a religious school should be practicing Christians, or even that they should not be practicing homosexuals.

So I think there are plenty of examples of religious discrimination that you should have a problem with.

Well I think it’s fair that the leader of the labor party be a member of a union but should every member of the labor party have to be a union member.
It’s a tricky one alright.

Unions these days are just another corporate suck hole.

Many animals seems to have no problem being friend with humans and each other even when from different species.
Nurturing / imprinting instincts

snakes aren’t really companion types. we often anthropomorphise animals to what we think should happen based on our own experiences, but many animals are solitary creatures and live like that in the wild. Just because a number of animals are in the same spot does not indicate sociability.

The one thing people say often at the zoo is ‘oh look at that tiger, they are by themselves, they must be lonely” which is not true at all.. they don’t hang out together in the wild.

Some lizards are very social.

I was surprised to learn a few years back that, in Qld at least, there’s not allowed to be another pharmacist within a certain distance of one that’s already there.

We’d hoped that when the new shopping centre was finished, there might be another pharmacy, to give the Jolly Roger Chemist (our name for the sole pharmacy in the ville) some competition.

But, no, apparently this was forbidden. Weren’t allowed to encroach on Jolly Roger’s territory, no competition permitted.

I use this one….and click on the “show all free to air”. But then I’m usually looking for a particular timeslot, rather than a general look over everything

You were referring to most animals not being social and people anthropomorphising their feeling onto them, with several references to the zoo. The trouble with that is a zoo has next to nothing to do with animals behaving naturally, as they are caged and have little interaction with other animals in an active ecosystem. In fact Arts, your ideas concerning animal interactions have little relevance in the real world.

Well Arts, I have lived in the bush for many years and have many animals especially reptiles sharing the environment, so I see their interactions in ways you can only imagine and they are very different to what you often portray.

You were referring to most animals not being social and people anthropomorphising their feeling onto them, with several references to the zoo.

In fact Arts, your ideas concerning animal interactions have little relevance in the real world.

No, you just shoot your mouth off about things you don’t understand. A zoo is NOT the world.

glad you are here to clear that up

Well Arts, I have lived in the bush for many years and have many animals especially reptiles sharing the environment, so I see their interactions in ways you can only imagine and they are very different to what you often portray.

I appreciate your input with these matters. I have stated that sharing and environment does not always equate to a sociable animal, though.
I don’t believe I ‘often portray’ anything but my own experience (which is definitely different to yours). I don’t claim to be an expert in non captives.. or even an expert in captives… just passing on knowledge from people who study both sides and spend their life in this area.
I do believe you tend to pick out my posts, which probably means you like me, so i’m flattered

There is a very big difference between going out out into the bush and catching animals, to actually living with them and observing them acting naturally. Don’t get being able to put a name to an animal confused with the understanding of how an animal acts within an ecosystem and the cooperation that exists between animals within that system.

Earwigs. Blowing out earwigs is not fun. I have the rainwave going at the moment, but the impulse sprinkler can’t go on until the clothes are dry and off the line. I have another wobbler going, and I think Mr buffy put the wobbler on in the front yard just then. And he just checked the roof wobblers. They are all working, but now turned off. They only get to work when we really need them for a full fire alert. I’m hoping a bit of watering tonight might call in the rain tomorrow…

900g of spinach.

I ring her. Do you really need that much spinach?

Her: I’ll send you the recipe. She does. It’s obviously from a US site as it gives measures in pounds and then grams, or cups then litres etc.

For the spinach they had 4 cups (900g). No wonder they crashed the Mars Climate Orbiter.

I’ve been reading this: https://caselaw.findlaw.com/mo-court-of-appeals/1679566.html, an American appeals court ruling. In 2012 the appellant walked into a bank in Missouri, walked up to the teller, handed her a plastic shopping bag, and said, quietly but seriousy, “I need you to do me a favor. Put the money in this bag.” The teller proceded to do just that. The assistant manager started walking over; when she was close the man said, “Ma’am, stop where you are and don’t move any farther.” She complied.When the teller had put all the money ($1472) into the bag she handed it to him and he walked out of the bank then ran away. At no time did he make any threats of violence or consequences for non-compliance; he did not appear to be armed, and his body language was not threatening. He was arrested in Texas some time later and extradited to Missouri where he was convicted of robbery and sentenced to 10 years prison. He appealed, and the conviction was overturned because there was no evidence of threats of violence and no apparent means of carrying out any such threat, but was convicted of the lesser charge of stealing. The dissenting judge felt that under the circumstances a reasonable person would have inferred a threat of violence.

That reminded me of a case I read about a while ago. On a Saturday morning in 1975 a well-dressed man walked into a jeweller’s shop in London and bought a watch for £50, paying for it with a cheque. He then walked to a nearby barber’s shop and had his hair cut. Whilst there he offered to sell the watch he’d just bought to the barber for £15. The barber could see it was a valuable watch, and was suspicious that it had been stolen, so the man suggested that they go to the jeweller’s shop and have it valued. They did. When the jeweller saw that the watch he’d sold was being offered for a much lower price than it was worth, he suspected that the cheque was bad and called the police. When the police arrived the man tried to take the watch back and leave, claiming that he had a business appointment elsewhere and needed catch a train (he even showed the train ticket), and was promptly arrested, with fraud charges preferred by the jeweller. He spent the weekend in a prison cell.

Monday morning, when the cheque was presented, it was cleared without hesitation. The man was released from prison, with apologies from the police and (especially) the jeweller. The man sued the jeweller; he was able to prove that he did actually have a business appointment, which he’d missed. He said he’d tried to sell the watch because he’d found he didn’t have much cash on him, and needed the money for the weekend.

I don’t know what the settlement was, nor do I have references for the story.

Monday morning, when the cheque was presented, it was cleared without hesitation. The man was released from prison, with apologies from the police and (especially) the jeweller. The man sued the jeweller; he was able to prove that he did actually have a business appointment, which he’d missed. He said he’d tried to sell the watch because he’d found he didn’t have much cash on him, and needed the money for the weekend.

I don’t know what the settlement was, nor do I have references for the story.

Could claim for wrongful arrest and imprisonment, heard from sources in the department in WA its worth about $1500 a day as hush money

It is rather suspiciogus behavior though. The man could have gone to the bank and simply withdrawn cash from his cheque account. Especially in 1975.

I would have gone back to the jeweller and explained the problem, maybe sell it back to him for 40 bucks, the jeweller would love that, or leave it as surety and borrow 30. 80 Bucks ain’t bad of you never come back.

Well, that’s a relief.(?) I thought I bought a new tablet computer on ebay and it hadn’t turned up. But there’s no sign on MyEbay that i ever bought it. I had the order mixed up with a different order (plastic cover for mobile) than Missy had bought.

I wonder what happened to that tablet I thought I bought.

Something like this perhaps.

$6.17 for a 10” tablet brand new seems like good value for money.

The whole point of the con was to get the jeweller to have him arrested and charged with an offence that couldn’t hold up. The plan all along was to sue the jeweller.

Seems very unlikely. I can’t imagine anyone actually being arrested in such circumstances, let alone held in custody for two days. The police would have said it’s nothing to do with them at that stage.

Have a closer look – that price is only for the cover of the tablet. There’s a small drop-down menu that lets you select either the tablet or the cover.

Sure, I can see the need for it, I’m just not sure we’re ready for the potential knock-on effects of people not turning up because they can’t be arsed driving to the real thing.

Anything that puts unfamiliar strain on your feet can lead to sores and blisters. And in your case you may not be aware of the severity of the problem until real damage is done.

Anyway best wishes and keep us updated. Hopefully you won’t be stuck in there for ages this time.

The corner shop does a few aisles of groceries, and newspapers and mags, and hot fried foods. There’s a butcher. In recent years we’ve got a chemist. And there is an intermittent coffee shop with strange opening hours. Pub and petrol station that stays open to late with some grocery lines.

Snug got wiped out by the 1967 fires. lots of deaths. Lots of people took up the govts offer to move to Taroona into housing comm. When I came dow here 33 years ago there were about 700 or 800 people in the township. I’d guess that has more than tripled. Also when I came here real estate was cheap. There are lots of places now in the 600k-900k range.

Wikipedia says: At the 2006 census, Snug had a population of 881.

Why they don’t use more recent data, I don’t know.

Median weekly rent in this village is $147 and in yours it’s $290.

Must be a lot of rental places in this village that are worse than what I’m putting up with (I pay $250 and even in the old tumbledown cottage I paid more than the median).

Mind you, a house like this in the cities would cop muuuuuch higher rent.

This was once a cheap place to live. Last VG was 450k and Tassie has had a few years of outrageously rising house prices since.

But it is still just a two bedroom house in a bit of wilderness.

Dunno, what is your area called?

Here are the regions (upper house)

https://www.vec.vic.gov.au/ElectoralBoundaries/StateRegionProfiles.html

And once you go there you can go to your district for the lower house.

If they’re not, you shouldn’t vote.

Then, when the Electoral Commission asks why you didn’t vote, you can tell them, “no Reason”.

Learning about self harm last week, the presenter gave us the following:

Hospitalised cases: 31,085
Patient days: 145,000
Patients in public hospitals: 98%
Average days in public hospital: 4.5
Average days in private hospital: 17
Female prevalence: 61%

These are 2006-07 figures from Aust Inst Health & Welfare. The presenter believes the numbers would have doubled by now, and that only 5% of all self harm cases are admitted to hospital.

Rule 303 said:


Learning about self harm last week, the presenter gave us the following:

Hospitalised cases: 31,085
Patient days: 145,000
Patients in public hospitals: 98%
Average days in public hospital: 4.5
Average days in private hospital: 17
Female prevalence: 61%

These are 2006-07 figures from Aust Inst Health & Welfare. The presenter believes the numbers would have doubled by now, and that only 5% of all self harm cases are admitted to hospital.

That isn’t cheering.

The first use of the word spaceship was in the Pall Mall Gazette in 1880:

“The Apergy once mastered, it was comparatively easy to anticipate and improve upon the ideas of a trifler like Jules Verne, and build a space-ship.”

Note that in Jules Vernes stories he used the word “projectile”.

Good morning Holidayers. Eighteen degrees and gong for a 22. Gusts of wind around 2.30am woke me by slamming doors – we had the house open. Got up to fix that and close a couple of windows. Just dropping back to sleep and heard a horrible sound. Not a possum. Must have had a koala passing by. Woken by the dogs 15 minutes ago. They wanted breakfast. It must be warm, got a blood nose. Fixed now. I might as well just go outside and weed now.

Was down the supermarket and younger sprog tested me a list of ingrediants to get for tonight’s meal.

900g of spinach.

I ring her. Do you really need that much spinach?

Her: I’ll send you the recipe. She does. It’s obviously from a US site as it gives measures in pounds and then grams, or cups then litres etc.

For the spinach they had 4 cups (900g). No wonder they crashed the Mars Climate Orbiter.

Looks like that might be the second use of the word “apergy” as well:

Apergy is a fictitious form of anti-gravitational energy first described by Percy Greg in his 1880 sword and planet novel Across the Zodiac.

It is also used by John Jacob Astor IV in his 1894 science fiction novel, A Journey in Other Worlds.

It’s OK, I can nap this afternoon. Yesterday the dentist asked me if I have trouble sleeping, maybe I have sleep apnoea. I said I have trouble sleeping because I sleep next to a snorer. And said snorer was an Ambulance Man for many, many years and the pager was in the bedroom. So we are used to broken sleep. Dentist still thinks it’s abnormal for me to have to get up to go to the loo about 2.00am to 2.30am. I suggested that had something to do with the large quantities of milk I drink, and that I need to remember not to do that right on bedtime.

More news from the Royal Commission into the Banking & Finance sector this morning. Breathtaking misconduct. Back in the 60s they would have been termed Psychopaths. In the 80s, Sociopaths. These days, it’s the deceptively euphemistic Antisocial Personality Disorder. Just in case there was any doubt, they’re very very bad people.

And the point was neatly driven home by a phone call from MumRule this morning. She’s been to the bank to deposit money into someone else’s account and they have tried to charge her $30 for a simple transaction from one account to another.

Commonwealth Bank.

Good morning 25/3°C, 51% RH 1/8 cloud (low, small, white, fluffy) and a (very) light air. ORB = 0. BoM predicts a top of 27°C, up from 16.9°C, and no rain.

We went to Gympie. I had dentist stuff. Back again in four months…

We did out shopping, and at Bunnings bought a cheap very LED head-lamp and a very cheap wall-mounted LED battery lamp to try out. Each has 3 AAA dry cells. Both exceeded our expectations. Very impressive. We’ll buy more as emergency lamps to use when we have blackouts.

New fans were also purchased. My job for today is to put them together.

Bolts and door stops were purchased to erect timbers so we can tie the new doors back properly. (Cabin hooks were purchased recently.)

Bunnings at Gympie again didn’t have the roller blind we wanted, despite them showing as in stock. Various checks were made. They weren’t in stock. New blinds have to be ordered and “stock” written off. We’ll have to wait until December to get the blind. (Sigh.)

Customers may choose to encapsulate their spacecraft in payload fairings provided by the company, which can be easily attached to the rocket shortly before launch, in several different configurations, such as fitting CubeSats dispensers or multiple satellites in a single fairing.” -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LauncherOne

Yes. You say it’s your cousin in the ad…

On a related note, yesterday on the radio they were talking about paying $125k to clone pets. One woman called in to say she seriously considered doing it for her horse, but then realised the clone would not have the same personality.

The movie Seventh Day had the same idea

Samsung just took another step into the realm of science fiction. Recently announced at a board meeting, the South Korea tech giant just gained a patent for contact lenses that project images directly onto the users retina. The lenses are equipped with a camera optics and gyroscoptic sensors to control the device with the blink of an eye… literally.

Coming Soon! (apparently)

It could mess with you brane I imagine, found the article https://www.iflscience.com/technology/scientists-develop-telescopic-contact-lenses-can-zoom-3x/

Over the past year, we’ve heard about some pretty interesting developments in the world of contact lenses. Scientists have made progress on creating a pair of “smart” lenses for diabetics that are capable of monitoring glucose levels, and Google is even inventing a set with an in-built camera. Now, researchers in Switzerland are working towards bringing us magnifying contact lenses that zoom in and out with a wink.

The new visual aids were unveiled last Friday by Eric Tremblay from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in California. The innovative new vision-enhancing system, the first of its kind, includes a set of telescopic lenses and smart glasses that can distinguish between blinks and winks so that the user can easily flick between zoomed and normal vision.

The visual aids, which are still in the prototype stage, could be useful for those with visual impairment, which affects some 285 million people worldwide. In particular, they might one day help people with a condition called age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is the leading cause visual impairment in adults over the age of 50. AMD is a progressive disease in which people gradually loss their central vision due to cell damage and death in the retina. Although there are glasses in existence to help those with this condition, known as bioptic telescopes, they’re bulky and can interfere with social interaction. This new system, however, is designed to be much less intrusive.

The telescopes inbuilt into the lenses were actually first developed with funding from DARPA as superthin cameras for aerial drones, but they were later converted into a vision-enhancing system that was first announced back in 2013. Since then, scientists have been tweaking the system to make the complementary glasses better and the lenses more suitable for longer wear.

The lenses themselves are rigid and larger than your bog standard lens, covering the sclera, or whites of the eyes. Within the 1.5 mm thick lenses is a ring of tiny aluminum mirrors which bounce light around, increasing the perceived size of objects and magnifying the view 2.8 times. To switch between zoomed and normal view, all the user has to do is wink their right eye which interrupts the light being reflected from the contacts to the glasses, according to Science. When this signal is blocked, a polarized filter in the glasses kicks in which guides light towards the telescopic part, New Scientist explains. To get back to normal vision, they just need to wink their left eye.

Earlier models could only be worn for short periods of time because the amount of air reaching the surface of the eye was restricted, which limited their uselessness. Since then, scientists have improved the length of time they can be worn for with the addition of tiny channels that increase airflow around the eye.

Although the team behind the system has made many major improvements since the first versions, it hasn’t been tested in humans and the amount of time they can be worn is still restricted, so it will unfortunately be a while before we see them on the market.

it’s bad enough having people look at you and talk and it takes you a second to realize that they are not talking to you but on their phone that you can’t see because it’s bluetoothed to a tiny ear piece… imagine having people winking in your direction, but the wink is not for you.. even though it looks and feels like it is

OK…again….a telescopic system (2 lenses with a gap in between) for low vision people has been a Thing since before I was training (nearly 40 years ago). To get the two lenses for the system, you use a contact lens on the eye and a spectacle lens in a frame. Not done a lot though, and very specialized fitting.

I like the bit about “Since then, scientists have improved the length of time they can be worn for with the addition of tiny channels that increase airflow around the eye.” They are called fenestrations. And they have been used on hard contact lenses and scleral lenses (which is what they are talking about here) since the 1960s.

Perhaps I am being a bit hard on them. The tech is a bit better, but the ideas are very 50 years ago. And not yet used on humans. So how do they know it works?

dispensed, transported then distributed by the well named centre that clearly describes it’s purpose. If the distribution centre was usurped by the unwellnamed not a distribution centre centre, the redundancy implication would be gargantuan and Rule might well get his package in a reasonable amount of time and then where would we all be? expect things in reasonable amounts o time, that’s where, which is ridiculous and highly improbable in this day and age.

If the distribution centre was usurped by the unwellnamed not a distribution centre centre, the redundancy implication would be gargantuan and Rule might well get his package in a reasonable amount of time and then where would we all be? expect things in reasonable amounts o time, that’s where, which is ridiculous and highly improbable in this day and age.

I have never voted above the line. Even when it has meant counting to eighty something federally. No-one tells me where to put my preferences.

I also am a firm below the line voter and my last vote is of import to me.

I look at the fluid art and I like it but I also feel like it is too easy. I’d like to have a go but I want it to look different to other fluid art that has the same random sameness.

I like Skipper. It isn’t an excellent painting but it is a good portrait and that is what counts. There is some nice stuff there.

Megan Walsh who was doing her PhD while I was doing my masters does the fluid thing to another level. These are oils not acrylics. They remind me a bit of the Aussie mid century surrealists. Whathis name and whathis name.

Any one need a tie?

THREE boys from the bush have found an ingenious way of putting their Aboriginal heritage front and centre in boardrooms across Perth, while making a pretty penny along the way.

A couple of weeks ago Christ Church Grammar School boarders Isaiah Butters, Dontay Bolton and Liam Henry launched Tied to Culture, an online business selling indigenous-inspired ties designed by the boys themselves.

They come from Halls Creek, Katanning and Tammin respectively, and their venture has proven a runaway success, with an initial manufacturing run of 200 selling out within days.

“We originally came up with the idea for the ties during NAIDOC Week and decided to turn it into a business from there,” Isaiah said of the success.

The three are in Year 11 and plan to use the profits to set themselves up as they move to university and TAFE next year. They also donate a dollar from each tie sold to charities Pink Ribbon, Beyond Blue, and Madalah, which paid for their scholarships.

The ties are available in blue, pink, purple and red, and cost $35 each. To place an order click here.

Rather a pointless endeavor IMO. Unless you study all the candidates and rank them accordingly you’re going to end up voting for some kooks above candidates possibly more to your liking. If for example you choose your first 10 preferences and your last 10 preferences and fill in the others by rote your obviously going to have some random effects which may not be to your liking.

yeah I clicked through and am impressed by the quality and the pattern. I would like to think it will brings ties back. Mr Arts used to wear a tie every day and then the office went to more casual shirts (polos) with the option of a button up shirt, but a tie is no longer a requirement (or social expectation) but I like a tie, it looks smart

When I was in Oban with my brother and sister, Brother John walked out of a tourist shop and commented that he saw a Black Stewart. And I asked whether he bought it and he said it and he said it was fifteen poond. So I took 15 out of my purse and sent him back.

A few days later my sister was in an Oxfam and she found a Scottish made suit of great quality for 15 poond. And she bought it for him.

The tailor in Musswellborough charged 15 poond to take up the bottom seam. He paid for it.

I started it.

I’m thinking about it. Her husband was also one of my friends. There was a group of us, all the Phys/Chem/Pure/Applied group in form 6. As that was 1977, you can guess how many girls there were involved…I was part of the group partly because my boyfriend of the time was part of it. (Not the art lady’s husband…he used to call me Mum) My sister has recently intimated she may be moving back to Texas. I probably should tell her Jenny is there. I can’t recall if my sister (3 years younger than me) knew many of The Group.

THEY’RE MADE OUT OF MEAT
by Terry Bisson

“They’re made out of meat.”

“Meat?”

“Meat. They’re made out of meat.”

“Meat?”

“There’s no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They’re completely meat.”

“That’s impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the stars?”

“They use the radio waves to talk, but the signals don’t come from them. The signals come from machines.”

“So who made the machines? That’s who we want to contact.”

“They made the machines. That’s what I’m trying to tell you. Meat made the machines.”

“That’s ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You’re asking me to believe in sentient meat.”

“I’m not asking you, I’m telling you. These creatures are the only sentient race in that sector and they’re made out of meat.”

“Maybe they’re like the orfolei. You know, a carbon-based intelligence that goes through a meat stage.”

“Nope. They’re born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of their life spans, which didn’t take long. Do you have any idea what’s the life span of meat?”

“Spare me. Okay, maybe they’re only part meat. You know, like the weddilei. A meat head with an electron plasma brain inside.”

“Nope. We thought of that, since they do have meat heads, like the weddilei. But I told you, we probed them. They’re meat all the way through.”

“No brain?”

“Oh, there’s a brain all right. It’s just that the brain is made out of meat! That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you.”

“So … what does the thinking?”

“You’re not understanding, are you? You’re refusing to deal with what I’m telling you. The brain does the thinking. The meat.”

“Thinking meat! You’re asking me to believe in thinking meat!”

“Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is the whole deal! Are you beginning to get the picture or do I have to start all over?”

“Omigod. You’re serious then. They’re made out of meat.”

“Thank you. Finally. Yes. They are indeed made out of meat. And they’ve been trying to get in touch with us for almost a hundred of their years.”

“Omigod. So what does this meat have in mind?”

“First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the Universe, contact other sentiences, swap ideas and information. The usual.”

“We’re supposed to talk to meat.”

“That’s the idea. That’s the message they’re sending out by radio. ‘Hello. Anyone out there. Anybody home.’ That sort of thing.”

“They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?”
“Oh, yes. Except they do it with meat.”

“I thought you just told me they used radio.”

“They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. You know how when you slap or flap meat, it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat.”

“Omigod. Singing meat. This is altogether too much. So what do you advise?”

“Officially or unofficially?”

“Both.”

“Officially, we are required to contact, welcome and log in any and all sentient races or multibeings in this quadrant of the Universe, without prejudice, fear or favor. Unofficially, I advise that we erase the records and forget the whole thing.”

“I was hoping you would say that.”

“It seems harsh, but there is a limit. Do we really want to make contact with meat?”

“I agree one hundred percent. What’s there to say? ‘Hello, meat. How’s it going?’ But will this work? How many planets are we dealing with here?”

“Just one. They can travel to other planets in special meat containers, but they can’t live on them. And being meat, they can only travel through C space. Which limits them to the speed of light and makes the possibility of their ever making contact pretty slim. Infinitesimal, in fact.”

“So we just pretend there’s no one home in the Universe.”

“That’s it.”

“Cruel. But you said it yourself, who wants to meet meat? And the ones who have been aboard our vessels, the ones you probed? You’re sure they won’t remember?”

“They’ll be considered crackpots if they do. We went into their heads and smoothed out their meat so that we’re just a dream to them.”

“A dream to meat! How strangely appropriate, that we should be meat’s dream.”

“And we marked the entire sector unoccupied.”

“Good. Agreed, officially and unofficially. Case closed. Any others? Anyone interesting on that side of the galaxy?”

“Yes, a rather shy but sweet hydrogen core cluster intelligence in a class nine star in G445 zone. Was in contact two galactic rotations ago, wants to be friendly again.”

“They always come around.”

“And why not? Imagine how unbearably, how unutterably cold the Universe would be if one were all alone …”

the end

Rather a pointless endeavor IMO. Unless you study all the candidates and rank them accordingly you’re going to end up voting for some kooks above candidates possibly more to your liking. If for example you choose your first 10 preferences and your last 10 preferences and fill in the others by rote your obviously going to have some random effects which may not be to your liking.

Agree. Choosing one arsehole over another, you suddenly discover your are in a nudist colony.

But people around the corner believe that Woolworths in Cairns (and by implication probably other stores as well) was forced by litigation instigated by non-Christians (read Moslem people) to take down Christmas decorations and not sell anything Christmassy. No fact checking. Just believed the nonsense. And passed it on – all shock-horror-like. I couldn’t convince them that they’d been had.

Fair To Midland – Vice / Versa (from the Album Inter Funda Stifle)

Fair to Midland was an American progressive rock band based in Dallas, Texas. According to the band’s official website, their name comes from “…an old Texan play on the term ‘fair to middling’.” The band produced two self-released albums before signing to Serjical Strike; System of a Down’s Serj Tankian vanity label at Universal Republic. There, they released their only major record label album, Fables from a Mayfly, in 2007. While the album broke into the Billboard 200, they eventually parted ways with Serjical Strike and later released their fourth album, Arrows and Anchors in July 2011. Tentative plans for a fifth album had been discussed at the end of the Arrow and Anchors touring cycle, but the band became inactive in 2013.

To be fair, the store is >1500 km away from us so physical checking is not easy. But there are other checks could be made. The story supported their view, so they believed it and trotted it out.

Aye.

They haven’t made an attempt to make it look like a telegram’s text. They’ve used a font developed in the 20th century. The size of the type is nothing like that used in telegrams. Per the Oxford English Dictionary there are no examples of “fuck you” before 1905.

I mean fair enough if someone just did this as a quick joke. But the comments beneath it indicate that the folks thought it was a real telegram.

There was already an unused picture hook in place. Since people don’t normally hang pictures in little walk-in pantries, I assume it’s where previous tenants have hung their Jesus calendars.

The net cost of reducing the migrant intake by 80000, by the government’s own costings, is slightly north of 1 billion dollars per year.

Allan Maccaul was fined $500 for saying “That’s the Premier, he’s a fucking muppet” in relation to Scott Morrison.

Presumably because he had misidentified his job title.

Had to give elder sprog a lift down to the train station so she can get to her school function. Did so, got home and my phone, which I hadn’t taken, was going nuts.

“Come and pick me up, the station underpass is flooded and I can’t get to the platform and I’m going to be late and ….”

So off I go again, taking my phone this time. Got down to Strathmore station and there’s 6 girls all in their uniforms standing there. Got them all into the corolla and around to the next station, and the correct side for the platform. Elder sprog a bit relieved as 6 students all turning up stating that the station underpass was flooded is a bit more believable.

Got them all into the corolla and around to the next station, and the correct side for the platform. Elder sprog a bit relieved as 6 students all turning up stating that the station underpass was flooded is a bit more believable.

wait, how did you fit six of them in the corolla?

“Each handmade doll feeds 10 kids”

Geez, they must be rooly hungry.

what are the dolls made of? meat?

THEY’RE MADE OUT OF MEAT
by Terry Bisson

“They’re made out of meat.”

“Meat?”

“Meat. They’re made out of meat.”

“Meat?”

“There’s no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They’re completely meat.”

“That’s impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the stars?”

“They use the radio waves to talk, but the signals don’t come from them. The signals come from machines.”

“So who made the machines? That’s who we want to contact.”

“They made the machines. That’s what I’m trying to tell you. Meat made the machines.”

“That’s ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You’re asking me to believe in sentient meat.”

“I’m not asking you, I’m telling you. These creatures are the only sentient race in that sector and they’re made out of meat.”

“Maybe they’re like the orfolei. You know, a carbon-based intelligence that goes through a meat stage.”

“Nope. They’re born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of their life spans, which didn’t take long. Do you have any idea what’s the life span of meat?”

“Spare me. Okay, maybe they’re only part meat. You know, like the weddilei. A meat head with an electron plasma brain inside.”

“Nope. We thought of that, since they do have meat heads, like the weddilei. But I told you, we probed them. They’re meat all the way through.”

“No brain?”

“Oh, there’s a brain all right. It’s just that the brain is made out of meat! That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you.”

“So … what does the thinking?”

“You’re not understanding, are you? You’re refusing to deal with what I’m telling you. The brain does the thinking. The meat.”

“Thinking meat! You’re asking me to believe in thinking meat!”

“Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is the whole deal! Are you beginning to get the picture or do I have to start all over?”

“Omigod. You’re serious then. They’re made out of meat.”

“Thank you. Finally. Yes. They are indeed made out of meat. And they’ve been trying to get in touch with us for almost a hundred of their years.”

“Omigod. So what does this meat have in mind?”

“First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the Universe, contact other sentiences, swap ideas and information. The usual.”

“We’re supposed to talk to meat.”

“That’s the idea. That’s the message they’re sending out by radio. ‘Hello. Anyone out there. Anybody home.’ That sort of thing.”

“They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?”
“Oh, yes. Except they do it with meat.”

“I thought you just told me they used radio.”

“They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. You know how when you slap or flap meat, it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat.”

“Omigod. Singing meat. This is altogether too much. So what do you advise?”

“Officially or unofficially?”

“Both.”

“Officially, we are required to contact, welcome and log in any and all sentient races or multibeings in this quadrant of the Universe, without prejudice, fear or favor. Unofficially, I advise that we erase the records and forget the whole thing.”

“I was hoping you would say that.”

“It seems harsh, but there is a limit. Do we really want to make contact with meat?”

“I agree one hundred percent. What’s there to say? ‘Hello, meat. How’s it going?’ But will this work? How many planets are we dealing with here?”

“Just one. They can travel to other planets in special meat containers, but they can’t live on them. And being meat, they can only travel through C space. Which limits them to the speed of light and makes the possibility of their ever making contact pretty slim. Infinitesimal, in fact.”

“So we just pretend there’s no one home in the Universe.”

“That’s it.”

“Cruel. But you said it yourself, who wants to meet meat? And the ones who have been aboard our vessels, the ones you probed? You’re sure they won’t remember?”

“They’ll be considered crackpots if they do. We went into their heads and smoothed out their meat so that we’re just a dream to them.”

“A dream to meat! How strangely appropriate, that we should be meat’s dream.”

“And we marked the entire sector unoccupied.”

“Good. Agreed, officially and unofficially. Case closed. Any others? Anyone interesting on that side of the galaxy?”

“Yes, a rather shy but sweet hydrogen core cluster intelligence in a class nine star in G445 zone. Was in contact two galactic rotations ago, wants to be friendly again.”

“They always come around.”

“And why not? Imagine how unbearably, how unutterably cold the Universe would be if one were all alone …”

the end

Doesn’t one of the Jasper Fforde books have dolls made out of meat? (ie, not humans). I can’t remember. And I gave the books away.

Tony Abbott says we’re showing respect for indigenous culture at the expense of acknowledging Australia’s Christian roots.

The former prime minister argued Christian prayer should have as great a role in public ceremonies as “welcome to country” rituals, which acknowledge the traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander owners of Australian land.

Mr Abbott also wants to see more Christian gospel stories taught in our schools.

The Warringah Liberal MP, who is the Prime Minister’s special envoy for indigenous affairs, made the comments today at the launch of Dr Kevin Donnelly’s new book, How Political Correctness is Destroying Education and Your Child’s Future.

Mr Abbott made reference to the opening of the new Northern Beaches Hospital yesterday and complained that each of the speakers paid respects to the traditional owners of the land before starting their speeches, and not a single one offered a prayer.

“Every single speaker, and there was about six of them, acknowledged country,” he said.

“But there was not a single prayer, even though our society is unimaginable without the influence of Christianity.”

Back in the day my friend and I went to karate practice (this was in high school) and the drive inn was opposite Kenwick station and with a portable radio you could tune in the sound and watch it whilst waiting for the train. Trains during this time of night and back then were at least an hour apart.

I’ll give you a prayer

He sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see He tries to tell me what I put inside of me He’s got the answers to ease my curiosity He dreamed a god up and called it Christianity

Your god is dead and no one cares If there is a hell I’ll see you there He flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line He made a virus that would kill off all the swine His perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain Demands devotion atrocities done in his name Your god is dead and no one cares If there is a hell I’ll see you there Your god is dead and no one cares If there is a hell I’ll see you there Drowning in his own hypocrisy And if there is a hell I’ll see you there Burning with your god in humility Will you die for this?

do you have copies of the ones on display or are they all one offs?

I did a edition of five of that small landscape. EV. Editione variable.

Everything else I put in two proofs.


In the ros folder there are 5 of the unicorn edition of ten. A few prints from last year’s tree and lace work.

I really like the landscape…

Got the Triton back, they said the fuel filter was well fouled, they replaced that, gave it a good service and did the brakes.
Took it for a spin up to the Redoubt.
Beautiful, back to it’s old self the temp gauge needle didn’t even move going up the range and heaps of power.
I’ve sent the service department an email telling the guys and gals that that did good work.
I’m happy now.

Great news. One less thing to worry about.

How’s the toe, talking about worrying things?

Dunno. I looks vetter after a couple days of ABs. It depends how much dead tissue there is. They may cut off the tip but probably not the whole toe. They might decide not to operate. They will have another look tomorrow and decide.

Tony Abbott says we’re showing respect for indigenous culture at the expense of acknowledging Australia’s Christian roots.

The former prime minister argued Christian prayer should have as great a role in public ceremonies as “welcome to country” rituals, which acknowledge the traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander owners of Australian land.

Mr Abbott also wants to see more Christian gospel stories taught in our schools.

The Warringah Liberal MP, who is the Prime Minister’s special envoy for indigenous affairs, made the comments today at the launch of Dr Kevin Donnelly’s new book, How Political Correctness is Destroying Education and Your Child’s Future.

Mr Abbott made reference to the opening of the new Northern Beaches Hospital yesterday and complained that each of the speakers paid respects to the traditional owners of the land before starting their speeches, and not a single one offered a prayer.

“Every single speaker, and there was about six of them, acknowledged country,” he said.

“But there was not a single prayer, even though our society is unimaginable without the influence of Christianity.”

Meh. While most people would acknowledge the christian influence in modern society, many of us regard the belief itself as imaginary and stop short of going through the process of uttering a prayer in the ritual format for public occassions.

Record-low wage growth is threatening social cohesion, RBA governor says

The Reserve Bank governor says five years of record-low wages growth is hurting workers and threatening social cohesion.

“Flat real wages are diminishing our sense of shared prosperity,” Philip Lowe said.

“The lack of real wage growth is one of the reasons why some in our community question whether they are benefiting from our economic success.”

Between 1995 and 2012, workers saw average real wages increase by almost 2 per cent per year.

But since 2012, there has been little change in real wages.

In a speech delivered at the Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA) annual dinner, Dr Lowe said this was a major problem for everyone.

The mining wage boom was never sustainable.
Right now we have inflation running at ~1.9% and wages growth at ~2.1% right in the sweet spot.
People are getting a little bit richer every year and inflation is not running riot and adversely affecting retirees.

Tasmanians are encouraged to prepare for possible heavy rainfall and predicted thunderstorms this week.

The Bureau of Meteorology has advised the SES that a severe weather warning has been issued ahead of predicted heavy rainfall. That rainfall is expected in the north and west of the state overnight, with the low pressure system expected to impact the south east on Thursday and Friday

While we are preparing to help community members in need of assistance, we would ask people to prepare themselves for the hazards associated with heavy rainfall and thunderstorms.

Record-low wage growth is threatening social cohesion, RBA governor says

The Reserve Bank governor says five years of record-low wages growth is hurting workers and threatening social cohesion.

“Flat real wages are diminishing our sense of shared prosperity,” Philip Lowe said.

“The lack of real wage growth is one of the reasons why some in our community question whether they are benefiting from our economic success.”

Between 1995 and 2012, workers saw average real wages increase by almost 2 per cent per year.

But since 2012, there has been little change in real wages.

In a speech delivered at the Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA) annual dinner, Dr Lowe said this was a major problem for everyone.


The mining wage boom was never sustainable.
Right now we have inflation running at ~1.9% and wages growth at ~2.1% right in the sweet spot.
People are getting a little bit richer every year and inflation is not running riot and adversely affecting retirees.

Says it all.

Um, what?

Did you check the article?

Wages have been dead flat for 5 years.

No they haven’t, that graph is for real wage increase ie Wage growth minus inflation.
My figures are correct.

So in what way is flat real wage growth a “sweet spot”?
The rest of the economy is growing in real terms. Why is that growth not helping wages? What’s sweet about it?

Also I’m highly skeptical that real inflation is less than 2%.

It’s not flat, it’s coming off a wage boom.
Wages are still growing faster than inflation so there is a small wage growth, what I call a sweet spot is when wages are growing slightly faster than inflation.
Sure it’d be nice to see wage growth go higher but that’s a different debate.

One of the reasons they considered amputating my foot when my toe was infected was that if the infection got into the bone it would kill me. Even something as simple as losing a toenail can be fatal.

I dropped a bike lock on my left foot several months ago; the big toe developed a big blood blister that got under the nail. When the blister went away the dead blood under the nail started rotting, and infected the nail bed. Photos were posted until kii asked me to desist. I spent a few days in hospital on IV antibiotics, while they checked the bone to see if it was infected. When I was first admitted the attending registrar said, “We’ll probably have to cut the foot off.”

Tasmania SES
Like This Page · 5 hrs ·

Tasmanians are encouraged to prepare for possible heavy rainfall and predicted thunderstorms this week.

The Bureau of Meteorology has advised the SES that a severe weather warning has been issued ahead of predicted heavy rainfall. That rainfall is expected in the north and west of the state overnight, with the low pressure system expected to impact the south east on Thursday and Friday

While we are preparing to help community members in need of assistance, we would ask people to prepare themselves for the hazards associated with heavy rainfall and thunderstorms.

We had the spouting cleaned yesterday. And got maybe 1mm rain today.

when i worked on the building sites as a kid be the assistant engineer i club hammered my thumb when the club slipped off the top of a metal pin i was working on. the nail eventually just dropped off after turning black. luckily no infection

i remember some mad aussie called brian in palestine wanting me to use a hand drill to release pressure under his claw like thumbnail after doing something similar. his proposal was i was to held the hand drill steady and come in gently and drill into the top of his nail as he supported his thumb (though looking back on it he would have been better using a pedestal drill with his thumb held in a vice). after careful consideration i refused to have anything to do with it and told him to see a doctor – he did it himself in the end anyway. i did advise im to sanitise the drill bit with fire though.

The awards are adjusted each year and the hourly rate changes on the first of June (usually). I pay award plus 10% super instead of 9.5%. If there is extra money, there are bonuses. My staff get bonuses for Christmas (which will be paid the week after next so they have it in time to do their Christmas stuff) and a bonus in the week of their birthday. In good years, each of those is a week’s pay. More recently as the practice has wound down it’s been a bit less.

I would like to take a moment to tell you why I’d never plant a Platanuss orientalis. In a kikiyu lawn, the seeds of this plant can stand on end. I once trod on one and the problem got to the point where my whole foot was black. They did put me under and cut a cross, two right angled slices with a scalpel, to drain my foot. I still have my foot but I’d never plant a plane tree.

isn’t it indexed?

Wages should be indexed to the cpi or if they aren’t, they should be.

The awards are adjusted each year and the hourly rate changes on the first of June (usually). I pay award plus 10% super instead of 9.5%. If there is extra money, there are bonuses. My staff get bonuses for Christmas (which will be paid the week after next so they have it in time to do their Christmas stuff) and a bonus in the week of their birthday. In good years, each of those is a week’s pay. More recently as the practice has wound down it’s been a bit less.

There are a lot of good bosses like you out there Buffy, unfortunately there are those on the other side of the ledger.

when i worked on the building sites as a kid be the assistant engineer i club hammered my thumb when the club slipped off the top of a metal pin i was working on. the nail eventually just dropped off after turning black. luckily no infection

i remember some mad aussie called brian in palestine wanting me to use a hand drill to release pressure under his claw like thumbnail after doing something similar. his proposal was i was to held the hand drill steady and come in gently and drill into the top of his nail as he supported his thumb (though looking back on it he would have been better using a pedestal drill with his thumb held in a vice). after careful consideration i refused to have anything to do with it and told him to see a doctor – he did it himself in the end anyway. i did advise im to sanitise the drill bit with fire though.

Bwian, hey.


yeah , he suffered a nervous breakdown after the unit next to him was destroyed in a gas explosion – he was next door and told me he had woken up with the blast and seen flames coming around the sudden gap caused as the concrete roof lifted from the wall ( was opposite and the blast blew our door off one of its hinges and broke the toilet window inside). he had always been eccentric – the explosion tipped him over the edge. a few days later he started talking about him being like brian from the film and started writing romans go home (no joke) around the place and uttering about the romans. i stayed in touch after left and ended up working at a place where he had got me a job where i’d look after a tiger – clean out its cage and feed it.

My opal mining partner has told people that he can drill their teeth with a jackhammer, he’s that good. I know he is serious but who else would?

i persuaded him to cut back on the booze but one schooner at a time per week eg drop back one schooner a week

he decided to go cold turkey and passed out at the wheel with a female passenger next to him, he put the thing into a ditch after she managed to grab the wheel

What’s your problem, BTM?

I dropped a bike lock on my left foot several months ago; the big toe developed a big blood blister that got under the nail. When the blister went away the dead blood under the nail started rotting, and infected the nail bed. Photos were posted until kii asked me to desist. I spent a few days in hospital on IV antibiotics, while they checked the bone to see if it was infected. When I was first admitted the attending registrar said, “We’ll probably have to cut the foot off.”

Use an 1/8” (or finer) sharp drill bit, turned by hand. Not in a chuck. Quick, easy relief. You know when you’ve broken through – blood rushes out and the pain stops. Remove the bit.

A doctor might use a paper clip heated with a metho burner.

My comment about being able to use a jackhammer to drill teeth is actually a watchmaker’s comment. The average drill a watchmaker uses in rural NSW is way less accurate than a dentists drill though not far distant from the same thing. It is actually like drilling teeth with a jackhammer by comparison.

A red.

I do have one choice, Coopers red. I do have another, tawny port from DeBortoli’s. and another, Gelenfiddich 12 years and home stewed, highland whisky flavoured spirit.
Mostly I stick with the Coopers, mainly because it is the least alcohol by volume.

Have I ever told the story of my infected cyst?

Once upon a time, about five years ago in fact, I went to Sydney to see my dying aunt. My breast was a bit sore and red, but I thought it was probably just the seam of my bra rubbing against it. No big deal. Twenty four hours later and I had a huuuuuuge lump, very sore, very red, very hot. Saw a GP, who drained some fluid, gave me antibiotics and told me to squeeze the pus should the cyst feel too sore again. (Later Revealed to be a Staph infection.)

That night, the cyst was agonisingly sore. I asked my cousin to squeeze because I couldn’t bear to put myself in that much pain. Nothing happened, so I asked mum. She wouldn’t touch it. My aunt had a friend visiting, who happened to be a nurse. She took a look and said, “Oh honey… you need to go to hospital!”

What??? It wasn’t that bad, couple days and the antibiotics will kick in, all good. But she insisted. The hospital was 45 minutes away and the doctor saw me immediately. I was to stay overnight and have surgery first thing the next day. What??? They pumped me full of IV antibiotics… several grams worth. Popped me into surgery, I was out 15 minutes later with an open wound and a drain. They didn’t remove the cyst, just drained it.

I flew to Perth a few days later to represent Krispy at the Perth Show. I had to wear a thick gauze over the wound because my bra seam rubbed on it, and spray with Dettol (no wire brush though, couldn’t get that through security). Left an ugly scar which was prettied up and the cyst actually removed by my own GP after Mini Me was born.

I’ve just opened a red.

Someone left this bottle. I now understand why. Very average.

Name and shame! (the bottle)

I’ll try that again, this time with feeling.

You do know that if it has alcohol in it, it is going to kill you?

To the hyper-risk-averse, there is no safe level of exposure to anything at all.

I like Shiraz and Cabernet and all that but I don’t have to buy wine of high quality around here. Everyone gives it away. Mostly in lieu of any other wages or fringe benefits you may have been hoping for.

I didn’t need to have a drink with you because you told me that you could not do Ethanol while driving. Dead giveaway.

I’ve had that rule since I was 18. I was a teetotaller from 20 for 10 years.

Me too.

Brigadier Matt Pearse said Private Challis was missed.

“He was a key member of the team; a fun-loving, country boy from Geelong in Victoria who absolutely loved Army and is sadly missed by all his mates and of course his family and friends,” he said outside court.

Yeah. Woodie’s mate Milton’s son-in-law used to make it. A bottle turned up with him when we went to DA’s birthday party.

Some (instant chilli vodka) was made for (well, during) a pud at my place one time. Turned out well. DO was involved and encouraged it by going off and buying a bottle of cheap vodka. I had chillis, a blender and a clean hanky for a filter. IIRC. Geoff D had some (even though he wasn’t well) and there is a great photo of DA downing a (second) shot somewhere.

I like a good storm. We had two storms in ten days when I worked in Jamaica. 140 inches of rain, and three days of (mostly) sunshine between them. And very serious winds on two nights. Both storms’ names have been retired. Lili, then Isidore IIRC.

Trump being lambasted. Is good.

I’ll look at that tomorrow. Mrs V is asleep in the next room, so I’m trying to be reasonably quiet…

Might be more in it for him than me but is all piss and wind otherwise.

I like a good storm. We had two storms in ten days when I worked in Jamaica. 140 inches of rain, and three days of (mostly) sunshine between them. And very serious winds on two nights. Both storms’ names have been retired. Lili, then Isidore IIRC.

I’ve seen eleven inches in one day but I have lived in the same place for more than 65 years. Mostly, we get little more than eleven inches in a year.

In October (12, 13) this year we got 302 mm in two days. Really, about 40 hours. The initial storm was very intense. Wind, hail, and rain all together – 40 mm in 10 minutes.

I shouldn’t complain, but I will.

I hate the skin I’m in. I’m hot (sweating all over) one moment and shivering with goose-bumps the next. My feet and ankles are swollen to the point of pain now the weather’s warmed up, and the doktards have no idea what’s causing it. Neither do I. I’ve read everything I can on the internet and am still none-the-wiser.

Nope. But the heat and humidity here combined with the hot-cold symptoms-stuff likely precludes that. At least until the last resort.

I’ve had the venous valves in my legs checked, and only one is (a little bit) dodgy. Fluid retention in feet and ankles shouldn’t happen.

Hmmm… well… that’s what I’d be doing, JFTR. Light-weight Lycra elastic compression socks at night. Wont make you any less comfortable in the heat. I’ve got a pair I purloined from a hospital if you want to give it a try.

Have you tried Uremide (Frusemide) tablets. Very good for reducing excess water retention from the body (prescription required). You end up peeing it out.

More on Camp Fire.

https://www.news.com.au/technology/environment/california-fires-search-for-missing-as-rain-expected-to-bring-mudslides/news-story/755707afc06077873a9cddfac7ff995f

Remains of 79 victims have been recovered since the Camp Fire erupted on November 8 and largely obliterated the Sierra foothills hamlet of Paradise, a town of nearly 27,000 people 280km north of San Francisco. The latest official death toll was announced late on Sunday as the Butte County Sheriff’s Office also said it was reducing the number of names on its missing persons list to 993, down from 1276 a day earlier. The roster has fluctuated dramatically over the past week.

Firefighters in recent days have gained significant ground against the blaze, carving containment lines around two-thirds of its perimeter. Pathologists from the University of Nevada, Reno worked through the weekend as firefighters peeled back debris, collecting bits of burned bones and photographing everything that might help identify victims. Intense fire over the slopes of canyons, hills and mountains makes them more prone to catastrophic erosion in the form of landslides.

The video in the link is worth watching.

So I suppose you are getting the weather I am expecting? They say I am also going to get more than a chance of a thunderstorm.

He’ll sometimes pause as a thing of form
In front of a settler’s door,
And ask for a drink, and remark `It’s warm,
Or say `There’s signs of a thunder-storm’;
But he seldom utters more.

The Teams
by Henry Lawson
From book: In The Days When The World Was Wide


A cloud of dust on the long white road,
And the teams go creeping on
Inch by inch with the weary load;
And by the power of the green-hide goad
The distant goal is won.

With eyes half-shut to the blinding dust,
And necks to the yokes bent low,
The beasts are pulling as bullocks must;
And the shining tires might almost rust
While the spokes are turning slow.

With face half-hid ‘neath a broad-brimmed hat
That shades from the heat’s white waves,
And shouldered whip with its green-hide plait,
The driver plods with a gait like that
Of his weary, patient slaves.

He wipes his brow, for the day is hot,
And spits to the left with spite;
He shouts at `Bally’, and flicks at `Scot’,
And raises dust from the back of `Spot’,
And spits to the dusty right.

He’ll sometimes pause as a thing of form
In front of a settler’s door,
And ask for a drink, and remark `It’s warm,
Or say `There’s signs of a thunder-storm’;
But he seldom utters more.

But the rains are heavy on roads like these;
And, fronting his lonely home,
For weeks together the settler sees
The teams bogged down to the axletrees,
Or ploughing the sodden loam.

And then when the roads are at their worst,
The bushman’s children hear
The cruel blows of the whips reversed
While bullocks pull as their hearts would burst,
And bellow with pain and fear.

And thus with little of joy or rest
Are the long, long journeys done;
And thus — ‘tis a cruel war at the best —
Is distance fought in the mighty West,
And the lonely battles won.
Henry Lawson

You’ll like this; Came across a bushwalker last weekend who had gone on a walk with nothing but some printed track notes (no map/phone etc). We had set up camp and were sitting around (was about 5:40pm) when the dude appeared and asked for directions, the way he was heading was ~21km to the next camp site and the wrong direction to where he wanted to go.

Oft quoted, but at the rates of immigration (productivity commission report) , infrastructure construction will never keep pace and is also becomes colossally expensive. But hey, reducing the living standards of people already here is great as long as it aids the few big businesses/owners that benefit from such things.

On the contrary, the government’s figures indicate that infrastructure is more affordable when there is more migration, because migrants tend to be of working age and contribute more tax per capita.

There must be an optimal size for a modern city. Something that can include road, light/medium rail and extensive use of bike paths. Not too big so massive congestion becomes a problem which requires massive freeways and heavy rail to solve.

If we could stop cramming more and more people into a couple of megacities and start building smaller cities it might help.

The ideal situation for public transport would be for Australia to have a population of about 300 million like a proper continent. High ridership and high population density along travel corridors is key to efficient public transport.

It kind of depends on what you mean by a city. If you’ve got a lot of people converging on a single CBD, then the “30 minute city” idea spruiked by Turnbull appeals to me. If you’ve got good enough public transport that you can get from any point to any other point in the city within 30 minutes, then you’re doing okay. For well run places, this could be quite a big area. The plan for Syduhney is to have basically 3 cities: “Harbourside”, “Greater Parramatta” and “The Badgerys Creek Aeropolis”, each with its own CBD, so that you don’t get people living in the Blue Mountains trying to commute to The Domain. Of course for that to work, then regular folks need to be able to afford to live in “Harbourside”. If you don’t want people commuting for hours, then nurses and teachers in the city area need to be able to afford to rent or buy in the city area.

If we could stop cramming more and more people into a couple of megacities and start building smaller cities it might help.

Sure, deemphasizing Sydney and Melbourne is probably a good idea.

The Governor of Manus has slammed Australia over plans to redevelop a joint naval base on the island in Papua New Guinea, saying he has never been consulted on the deal.

This policy on the run stuff isn’t working well.

The Governor of Manus seems to be a jib where you do what you are told by the PNG govt.

There must be an optimal size for a modern city. Something that can include road, light/medium rail and extensive use of bike paths. Not too big so massive congestion becomes a problem which requires massive freeways and heavy rail to solve.

It kind of depends on what you mean by a city. If you’ve got a lot of people converging on a single CBD, then the “30 minute city” idea spruiked by Turnbull appeals to me. If you’ve got good enough public transport that you can get from any point to any other point in the city within 30 minutes, then you’re doing okay. For well run places, this could be quite a big area. The plan for Syduhney is to have basically 3 cities: “Harbourside”, “Greater Parramatta” and “The Badgerys Creek Aeropolis”, each with its own CBD, so that you don’t get people living in the Blue Mountains trying to commute to The Domain. Of course for that to work, then regular folks need to be able to afford to live in “Harbourside”. If you don’t want people commuting for hours, then nurses and teachers in the city area need to be able to afford to rent or buy in the city area.


If we could stop cramming more and more people into a couple of megacities and start building smaller cities it might help.

Sure, deemphasizing Sydney and Melbourne is probably a good idea.

That makes a lot of sense regards the affordable housing. I guess the situation in Sydney is gone way too far now to reverse that. I can’t see massive property devaluations being a popular policy

Brexit is a prime example of how governments can completely misread what the electorate wants, and of the effects of the electorate’s capacity for bloody-mindedness.

Theyre was a noisy bunch squawking about leaving the EU, and the British government said, right, we’ll have a referendum, the majority will (of course) vote ‘no’ to Brexit, because it’d be all too horrible to engineer, and it’ll be over and done with, we can tell the Brexiteers to STFU.

The electorate all thought, right, the majority will (of course) vote ‘no’ to Brexit, because it’d be all too horrible to engineer, but i’m going to vote ‘yes’ as a ‘protest vote’ to show the government what i think of them.

Oops.

AFAIK Australian city’s are actually massively uncongested with low population densities, trains also are under utilised. What is an issue is feeder roads, or feeder streams to get into the cities and underinvestment in hospitals and schools.

At the moment with property prices there is an organic infill happening in Victoria at least where old homes on quarter acre blocks are being purchased and redeveloped as mult level units.

To my mind a more cohesive planning and investment path is required, and at the moment with low Interest is the town for state governments to lock in some cheaply financed infrastructure.

A similar thing happened in the sub prime crash, Obama was pissed off that the same executives who had driven the companies and the economy into a ditch were still getting bonuses whilst waiting to be be bailed outl. After being told he couldn’t stop the bonuses which were going to be paid with federal money he tried to tax them at 98% or something and even that couldn’t be done.

No? Here’s another truckload of money, we’ll call it a ‘bonus’.

No, don’t worry about silly things like ‘performance’ and ‘achievements’, and ‘ethics’ and ‘customer service’ and ‘compliance with the law’.

Now remember, if you feel you need a few million more, just ask. We’re a bank, we can do whatever we like.”

CA. It’s a money machine.

They gave the plebs the tests and the women’s matches. The rest were sold on to the bidder that wants you to buy their content. Actually, I think we did OK. They could have sold the lot to Fox…

Foxtel sports have just launch a new internet streaming service called KAYO. I am tempted to sign up. $25 per month. Apparently covers a few sports. If it includes AFL and F1 as well as the Cricket I guess I’m in.

This is a very nice late arvo soup. Almost no kilojoules (probably 30 kJ). Filling and tasty.

1 choko leaf cut into pieces, 8 chopped onion leaves, a few torn up bits of dried sliced shiitake mushroom, one chopped small chilli, 1 tsp fish sauce, <1/2 tsp of Asian vegetable broth powder, 4 Sichuan Pepper pericarps. Fill the mug with boiling water and stir.

the more important thing is that it’s reliably there every day, permanent, like the sun comes up and goes down, like nature, part of the natural order of things, the content can be terrible (like the weather), looked at this way it’s the perfect delivery device. And there’s the religion about it, a comfort that way. If you don’t really know why you do anything, or much, there are reassurances like money/wealth, and fame, a wonderful bridge from various deprivations, like modesty, and various other shortcuts to the experience of an adequate self.

Speaking of Spokes: The Design That Could Change How Electric Car Motors Are Made

Most of the motors in electric and hybrid cars arrange their magnets in a V-shape around the wheel hub. Because the magnets are stacked on one another, it’s difficult to completely seal the laminations that envelop them. That means coolant can’t flow directly over the magnets to cool them. So V-shape motor makers have had to use expensive, exotic types of rare earth magnets to mitigate the problems of heat buildup.

For example, neodymium is the most commonly used rare earth magnet. But for a V-shape motor to run at high temperatures, they must add the chemical dysprosium into the magnet, which drives up the cost.

Eek, badly written, dysprosium is a chemical I suppose, in the same way hydrogen is, I’d prefer to call it an element. They actually make weird style speakers out of dysprosium as it is magnetorestrictive.

Paisley (/ˈpeɪzli/ PAYZ-lee; Scots: Paisley, Scottish Gaelic: Pàislig ) is the largest town in the historic county of Renfrewshire and the fifth-largest in Scotland. Situated in the west central Lowlands of Scotland, it serves as the administrative centre for the Renfrewshire council area. The town is on the northern edge of the Gleniffer Braes, straddling the banks of the White Cart Water, a tributary of the River Clyde.

The town became prominent in the 12th century, with the establishment of Paisley Abbey, an important religious hub which formerly had control over other local churches. It is often cited as “Scotland’s largest town”, as it does not have city status.

By the 19th century, Paisley was a centre of the weaving industry, giving its name to the Paisley shawl and the Paisley Pattern. The town’s associations with political Radicalism were highlighted by its involvement in the Radical War of 1820, with striking weavers being instrumental in the protests. As of 1993, all of Paisley’s mills had closed, although they are memorialised in the town’s museums and civic history.

More probably coming from the Glenorchy store it is a case of the Coles genuinely trying to substitute a close product but getting an 18 year old semi literate Tasmanian who eats Maccas to make the decision.

If this is acceptable, it opens up a vast range of possibilites.

I can borrow lots of money from the bank, and need only express an ‘intention’ to pay it back.

I can disobey the speed laws on the road, provided that i declare that it was my ‘intention’ to not break those laws.

I can stay in five-star hotels for as long as i like, as long as i have an ‘intention’ to pay the bill, eventually, some day.

Now, my neighbors raise rabbits for 4H and have blue ribbon winners.
I instantly knew it was one of theirs.
So I get the rabbit away from my dog, I take it inside, wash all the dirt off and before my neighbors got home I took it over, put him back in the cage and went back home.
Not 30 minutes later I hear my neighbors screaming….
So I go out and say… What’s wrong???? Play it up etc…..
They tell me their rabbit died three days ago and they buried it but now it’s back in the cage.

The governmet can’t help it.

Basically, they come from the managerial classes.

The maxim is ‘all managers always tell lies about everything all the time’.

It’s a broad and sweeping generalisation, similar to the ‘all crows are black’ generalisation.

There’s exceptions (like there’s albino crows), but so rare as to be statistically non-existent (like albino crows).

Good. A little flash flooding causing very minor property damage and inconvenience, but no riverine flooding or infrastructure at risk, AFAIK. Gotta get the joint wet every now and then, mate. ;-)

I agree.

We had 302 mm in less than two days in October. No sign of it three days later – I had to water the garden…

Mind, Poona Lake (a perched lake system in the sand dunes about 8 km away) is about 500 mm higher last week than when I was last there. So I guess the water table (an unconfined aquifer) has been somewhat recharged.

A couple of days ago they were forecasting four inches over the next few days. Now it has been revised to an inch or so. Next it won’t be enough to fill the tanks. (It’s good to have full tanks this time of year.)

The sand’s like that. Water falls though it. It also heats up quickly and completely evaporates any moisture in the root zones of vegetables. Today had dried to 40 mm and had a finger-burning temperature until I watered it…

Most of the flat sections of the peninsula I’m on is stabilised sand dune. Water just pours straight through. The local thinking is to add loads of organic material to create dirt or ‘wetting’ agents like Zeolite, and hopefully hold water. Takes a metric shitload of Zeolite.

Interesting. I hadn’t considered zeolite, even though the heulandite-laumontite transition is around room temperature. Is it a natural zeolite or an artificial zeolite? How fine is it ground?

Zeolites can be tailored to hold stuff other than water, too. eg NH4 (ammonia) or the radioactive isotope of Caesium (137Cs) and not any other isotope. It’s an amazing group of minerals.

Mind you, I don’t know where I’d get any zeolites from in this district.

It’s about the size of cat litter. Goes through a hand seed-spreader OK.

But water is still expensive AF. I am doing my best to ‘drought proof’ the lawn by letting the weak die off in Summer. Need more shade…

Water – I’m considering a hand-dug bore – or even several if the flow from one is insufficient. The water’s down there somewhere close (likely only a few metres down) and runs out of the sand onto the beach. Enough to have several permanent flows across the beach to the sea. If I steal a bit of that, it shouldn’t hurt too much. And mostly it’ll end up in the same unconfined aquifer…

Auger, followed by a hand pumped wet-pipe (water added from the top), with the outer casing following the hole down. You don’t even need the auger.

Haven’t done one by hand (and never will either) but we dug a 50ft bore using an old MF with a front bucket attachment, except we had the auger motor on instead of the bucket
only issue was it only lifted about 7ft, so we did it all with 6ft extensions…
took us about a week, but we hit water in the end…
(we knew it was down there as the previous bore was about 40ft down, but after they put a road cutting in, the bore dried up) :-(

I have a 4” auger. I can get to a metre in no time flat, because there’s no clay and no stones. Two or three turns will cut about 200 mm. Pull that lot of sand and do the next 200 mm. Less than tow minutes per metre. The cutting takes less time than the pulling.

Around here, some people use a sand cutter that uses the village’s water pressure and volume. It’s called a slurpee.

That’s the only one I’ve seen – Water displaces the soil and the fence post / pier piling / bore spike just sinks into the ground.

Anyway. Bed. Night all.

Good morning Holidayers. We have 5 degrees and lightly overcast. Had a little bit of rain. 3 or 4 mm at a guess. I haven’t looked in the gauge but I didn’t empty it yesterday either. It probably only had 2 or 3 in it from the day before anyway.

Stretches. Gotta do some stretching.

Rocket Science for Babies by Chris Ferrie is an introduction to aerospace engineering (also known as rocket science).

Baby will learn the principles of lift and thrust, the forces responsible for flight.

‘Queensland sets sights on space industry with outback rocket launch’ – ABC News

‘This Sighter190 research rocket is the first in Australia to catapult a commercial payload to about the same height as Everest, and that’s happening right here in our own backyard in Queensland,” (Queensland Manufacturing Minister Cameron Dick) said.’

The rocket rose more than 5,100 metres into the air before landing about two kilometres away from the launch site.

Mount Everest Elevation – 8,848 m

S’ok, he was a Cameron Dick when he was Health minister, too.

24.0°C, 85% RH. Overcast (various greys) with variable light to gentle breezes. It’s just stated raining gently. ORB has not been checked yet, but is likely to show a trace of rain, because that’s what we’ve had. BoM predicts a top of 28°C, up from 22.6°C and a little rain throughout the day.

Question without notice: should one look horizontally towards a TV set or in some other direction? (eg slightly down etc)

Mr. Chau, an American thought to be in his 20s, was fulfilling that dream last week when he set off by kayak for a remote island inhabited by a tribe whose members have killed outsiders for simply stepping on their shore.

Fishermen warned him not to go. Few outsiders had ever been there. And Indian government regulations clearly prohibited any interaction with people on the island, called North Sentinel.

Forgot my PLB on the last walk (derp me), was about 5 hrs walk away from a phone signal…felt a bit exposed when I realised if I got bit by a snake, relying on one of my two unfit mates to get help was not looking promising (took them 4 hrs to cover 6km over some steepish terrain).

You already know the answer, email her this

Colloidal Silver: Risk Without Benefit
https://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/PhonyAds/silverad.html

Colloidal silver is a suspension of submicroscopic metallic silver particles in a colloidal base. Long-term use of silver preparations can lead to argyria, a condition in which silver salts deposit in the skin, eyes, and internal organs, and the skin turns ashen-gray.

I think he would have been much more widely accepted (although, to be fair, the ‘Lateral Thinking’ idea was a big hit) if he had put a lot more time into mass media, social media, and film documentary. People like David Attenborough, Michael Moore and Louis Theroux have been great examples of that. Ad Hominem is still profoundly influential in human discourse and decision making.

Is joining the liberal party, seeing the light ?

He would be better as an independent.

It does seem a little strange. He’s got a high enough profile to succeed as an independent.

Still, no doubt he has his reasons.

Which light?

The blue Liberal light.
Rumour has it he’s seeking preselection for a Liberal seat in the NSW elections.

Knock on door

Mr Mudine “Can I help you”

7th Day Liberalists “Sir can I interest you in our magazine the Watchtower it’s about how our leader Malcolm Frazer came to Earth and fought and beat the evil anti Christ Gough Whitlam”

Mr Mudine “Yes you can and how can I join you enlightened religion”

How Long Before Trump Destroys the Rule of Law?

Tuesday’s revelation that the president had ordered his White House counsel to prosecute Hillary Clinton and James Comey illustrates the fragility of even apparently bedrock political norms in the Age of Trump.

Been raining off and on most of the morning, sometimes heavy. Got big puddles now so the tanks are probably full. Actually from starting off disappointing it’s been a good drop, little bits over the last three days so all soaking instead of washing off.

High Life (2018 film)

High Life is a 2018 science fiction film written and directed by Claire Denis with Robert Pattinson and Juliette Binoche in the lead roles. It’s Denis’ first film in the English language and was co-written by her long-time collaborator Jean-Pol Fargeau and Geoff Cox.

The film stars Robert Pattinson and Juliette Binoche in the lead roles. It focuses on a group of criminals who are tricked into believing they will be freed if they participate in a mission to travel on a spaceship towards a black hole to find an alternate energy source while being sexually experimented on by the scientists on board. French physicist and black hole expert Aurélien Barrau has been part of the project as a scientific expert. Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson has designed the spacecraft for the film and it is his first cinematic experience.

High Life had its world premiere at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival on 9 September 2018.

Primer (film)

Primer is a 2004 American science fiction film about the accidental discovery of time travel. The film was written, directed, produced, edited and scored by Shane Carruth, who also stars.

Primer is of note for its extremely low budget, experimental plot structure, philosophical implications, and complex technical dialogue, which Carruth, a college graduate with a degree in mathematics and a former engineer, chose not to simplify for the sake of the audience. The film collected the Grand Jury Prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, before securing a limited release in the United States, and has since gained a cult following.

All true.

On the other hand, a kangaroo’s head is not that small, and the range was not that great.

I hope he never comes up against an armed opponent, who will similarly not be told to hold still, and to whom he can’t get too close.

I mean, the whole sewing-needles-in-sealed-strawberry-packages was a significant risk. The stakes are higher now she’s been arrested.

Really? Why isn’t she a risk?

what’s she going to do? she isn’t likely to go out and kill anyone, she probably displayed no signs of impulsivity or irrationality and is likely not a flight risk. her reasoning for the contamination was to get ‘revenge’ on the industry/company she felt betrayed by… why keep her in custody where she can mix with high risk offenders and cost money?

Custody vs bail often comes down to cost and with bail the cost is transferred to her if she does a runner

That was fun. Telstra just rang to say that the eftpos and fax lines in my practice do exist.

I said “No, they physically do not exist. I cannot plug into them”

Aisha: “But they exist on the system”

Me: “No, Don the installer said there was a better way, connected the eftpos to the ethernet and we use the phone line for the fax when required. And I stood beside him while he phoned in the changes”

Aisha: “You are not understanding me. They exist”

Me: “ They may exist at the node/paperwork or something, but they do not physically exist and I am not paying for something that does not exist”

Aisha: “The installer cannot do that”

Me: “Well, I don’t know. I took advice from the expert, the installer. He’s a well experienced technician, I think he probably has around 30 years experience”

Aisha: “Well I’ll get them disconnected and set up a complaint for you with Telstra”

Me: “Do I have to do anything at this stage?”

Aisha: “No, you will get a phonecall from Telstra”

?????? I was talking to Telstra! I think the Telstra Business Centre in Warrnambool who organized my NBN changeover is some sort of franchise or something. According to the Telstra store people here in Hamilton who told me they could not help me with the bill that was wrong. Anyway, I think consumer law might be on my side in that I do not have the phone lines so I do not pay for them.

Sometimes with Telstra you have to stand your ground and go up the ranks. My internet wasn’t working, I didn’t realise because the IPad defaulted to the paid account. After I informed them, a few days they fixed it by doing a reboot at their end, the lady at the time said I would be compensated but it was too late in the billing cycle for the next bill.

Anyhoo, the bill afterwards still no discount, I rang them up and got a lady who said that they don’t offer compensation for outages. I said I didn’t want compensation, I just didn’t want to pay for a service that was not available and was only fixable at their end.

Had to go up a few levels, the crux was the words compensation. I finally persuaded two levels up that compensation was not the same as reimbursement. It took too much time and energy for what should have been a simple fix.

I imagine in their paperwork they don’t want to be open to compensation in anticipation of state wide outages due to floods or fires wtc, but mine didn’t really fall under that category, albeit maybe within the letter.

The President is involved with a little war of words with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

—-

Chief Justice John Roberts is pushing back against President Donald Trump’s description of a judge who ruled against Trump’s new migrant asylum policy as an “Obama judge.”

It’s the first time that the leader of the federal judiciary has offered even a hint of criticism of Trump, who has previously blasted federal judges who ruled against him.

Roberts, a George W Bush appointee, said Wednesday, ‘We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them.”
Roberts said on the day before Thanksgiving that an “independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.”

Last year, the president used the term a “so-called judge” after the first federal ruling against his travel ban.

The President responded on Twitter:

Some diabetics are quite strange;

Mine are usually “oh I can’t have that little cold and flu thing as it’s got sucrose in it” but they’ll buy a chocolate and a coke.

Orange juice, squeezed straight from the orange, with nothing added, is very sugary. It has 70% of the sugar of plain Coca Cola.

I’ve stood next to so many mounds of ripe rockmelons in my time. Only the green fruit can be shipped. The real ripe fruit from the paddock taste so much better but they go off so fast that you have to eat them on the day.

I was given a box of mangoes for my birthday… It might not be much to you guy but mangoes are hideously expensive here.. so i was happy.. we have been having mango with almost everything for the last two days. I will have to prep some for the freezer or they will go bad before we can eat them (I have already culled some out to the neighbours)

Over-ripe – not a problem.

Cook main meals with them (chicken, mango, veges, south-east Asian spices).

Make mango and chilli Jam. Brilliant as a roast chicken glaze, or as a dip with carrot sticks.

That was fun. Telstra just rang to say that the eftpos and fax lines in my practice do exist.

I said “No, they physically do not exist. I cannot plug into them”

Aisha: “But they exist on the system”

Me: “No, Don the installer said there was a better way, connected the eftpos to the ethernet and we use the phone line for the fax when required. And I stood beside him while he phoned in the changes”

Aisha: “You are not understanding me. They exist”

Me: “ They may exist at the node/paperwork or something, but they do not physically exist and I am not paying for something that does not exist”

Aisha: “The installer cannot do that”

Me: “Well, I don’t know. I took advice from the expert, the installer. He’s a well experienced technician, I think he probably has around 30 years experience”

Aisha: “Well I’ll get them disconnected and set up a complaint for you with Telstra”

Me: “Do I have to do anything at this stage?”

Aisha: “No, you will get a phonecall from Telstra”

?????? I was talking to Telstra! I think the Telstra Business Centre in Warrnambool who organized my NBN changeover is some sort of franchise or something. According to the Telstra store people here in Hamilton who told me they could not help me with the bill that was wrong. Anyway, I think consumer law might be on my side in that I do not have the phone lines so I do not pay for them. I personally think it was completely reasonable for me to rely on the advice of the Telstra installation Tech, especially as I stood beside him while he changed my order on his phone.

The ombudsman may yet be involved.

Grrrrrrr.

From my experience if baited inside the house, they push their dying body into the most difficult places to extricate them from.
Which is why I bait them outside.

Twas the night before thanksgiving and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. That’s because we’ve caught 7 or so mice and hopefully that’s the end until the next invasion.

We had dead animal smell in the tea room at work for a long time.

Possum had died in the wall cavity. They tried to locate it with fibre-optic cameras and everything, but to no avail. Other than bashing holes in the wall at random, there was nothing to do about it, except wait.

Smell persisted for weeks and weeks. Came to work one day to find one of the flush-with-ceiling fluoro light fittings filled with thousands of flies. Can you guess where they’d been born?

Sort of like Angkor Wat. Saw it once, from a distance, from a helicopter.

Weren’t no tourists there then.The place was just about wall-to-wall land mines and booby traps.

Saw it on TV the other night, with lots of tourists milling around. Hope they found all the land mines.

Sigiriya is quite extraordinary. I’ve been twice. Unfortunately now the war is over, there are too many tourists.

Sort of like Angkor Wat. Saw it once, from a distance, from a helicopter.

Weren’t no tourists there then.The place was just about wall-to-wall land mines and booby traps.

Saw it on TV the other night, with lots of tourists milling around. Hope they found all the land mines.

I used to be a member of a Hash House Harriers running club. I had to go to Phnom Penh for a few weeks work and one of the blokes I was working with was a member of the HHH there. So I decided to join them on a run. Met up in central Phnom Penh and then we all hopped on a bus and drove about 40 ks out of town. Then off we went, running through rice paddies and down tracks. I made bloody well certain that I was at the rear of the pack and placing my feet where someone had already placed theirs :)

To be honest this club was way more into the running side of things than my home HHH club in Canberra. It was stinking hot and humid and they were all fit, I would have been lagging at the rear no matter :)

David Eastman, who spent nearly 20 years in jail over the killing of one of the country’s top cops, has been found not guilty of the murder after a retrial.

A jury found Mr Eastman, now 73, not guilty of murdering senior Australian Federal Police officer Colin Winchester nearly three decades ago.

The not guilty verdict in the packed ACT Supreme Court marked the end of a six-month trial and just over a week of deliberating.

We just need to define “up” as the axis direction around which galactic rotation is clockwise, then we can say that all galaxies rotate clockwise, when viewed in the up direction

Or anti-clockwise, when viewed in the down direction, should we so choose.

Thus the direction of the spin of any galaxy depends on your perspective when you look at it. Scientists believe that on large scales the Universe is isotropic (the same in all directions). Thus, from our perspective, half of all spiral galaxies should spin clockwise, and half counter-clockwise.

Can I let them in?’
God says
‘Heaven is well over the quota for today
Go out and tell them to choose
Between them which are the 12 most worthy,
And I will let just the dozen in.’
Less than a minute later
St Peter is on the phone to God again.
‘They’ve gone’, he tells God.
‘What?’ says God, ‘All 20 of them?’
‘No, the gates’.

Investment management company Allan Gray’s managing director, Simon Mawhinney, said the collapse was astonishing and an absolute disaster for shareholders.

“We’ve never seen a turnaround like this,” Mr Mawhinney said.

“After the $100 million they raised, they allegedly had $140 million of net cash and a seemingly bullet-proof balance sheet.

“To go from audited financial statements released to the ASX in August, signed off by the board and their bankers, as well as the positive AGM commentary in October, defies belief.

“They should go after the directors and their houses. They have a lot to answer for and need to be held to account.”

He added that the ruling “was not final” as Hedges has the right to appeal against the verdict before the federal supreme court.

Hedges has denied the charges, and maintains he was in the country to research the impact of the Arab spring on the UAE’s foreign policy.

If Renae Lawrence had 2.689 kg (5.93 lb) of heroin on her in Bali she must have had them on her body here when she left.

Can they charge her for possession in the past?

I’m surprised 8.5 % of the genpop has brain injury

caused by people not wearing bike helmets

Around the world, we lose about a thousand people a day to drowning. For each fatal drowning, there are nine who survive with measurable brain injury.

Car crash survival improvements (in Australia) are offset on a 1:1 basis by a commensurate increase in major brain injury.

50% of the current batch of ‘hi-dependent’ acquired brain injury patients in the 18-34 age group were injured by their alcohol use.

There’s lots of these stats….

I made a chicken and red lentil thingy for tea. Filling. Easy.

I think I’ll go to bed and read. I’ve done all my chores and stuff. And prepared some spirelli for lunch tomorrow. I’m going to make it into a chicken and avocado salad.

The Guangzhou Circle, Guangzhou

The golden 138-metre-tall round skyscraper with a hole in its middle, is built to resemble an ancient Chinese coin.

The structure – the headquarters of the Hongda Xingye Group, an enterprise in China’s chemical and energy industry
– was inspired by jade discs and fengshui.

Probably blow over.

Or roll away.

Which would make a stupid but spectacular disaster movie. Whole cities being crushed by a renegade doughnut skyscraper.

Like Billy the Mountain.

Ok nerds here’s the deal, no mobile phone signal so I use a yagi aerial and plug that into my old mobile that has a aerial jack and I get one bar and that’s fine.
If I upgraded my phone to a smart phone with no aerial port I’m guessin that I’ll have to get a signal booster wifi box that I can plug the yagi aerial into that will then provide a wifi connection to the smart phone and I’m away.
Is my thinking correct?

I think the washing is better with warm. I use little detergent. And the clothes are solar and wind dried. So sterilized by fusion power. And if you have dog blankets to wash, some warm is necessary. And then a good stiff breeze to blow all the hairs off. I presume they then break down into the soil and feed the grass…

Abbott and Abetz should go, and the liberals should seek new candidates for both of them

List of diplomatic missions in Israel
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_diplomatic_missions_in_Israel

Diplomatic missions in Israel are foreign embassies and consulates in Israel. There are currently 88 embassies in Israel, of which 86 embassies are located in Tel Aviv and the Gush Dan Metropolitan Area and 2 embassies are located in Jerusalem.

Looks like most of them are in Tel Aviv yet the capital of Israel is Jerusalem.

Aren’t embassies usually in capitals ? Maybe the Embassies were situated in Tel Aviv because of all the fighting ?

who uses hot water in their washing machine?

Me. I use warm wash. The sun heats the water for me. I wash when the sun is out. And I also turn off both taps when the machine is not in use. And I leave the lid open. Stops smelly washing machine.

Do you have long hoses that you leave in the sun?

I hope Tony Abbott loses his seat at the next election.

Son of Turnbull is said to be kicking into the get rid of Abbott fund. Turnbull himself speaks out.

But damn Abbott. He shouldn’t be there. And neither should Eric Abetz. They are just awful. And why should the two of them want the embassy in Israel moved so desperately?

Abbott and Abetz should go, and the liberals should seek new candidates for both of them

List of diplomatic missions in Israel
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_diplomatic_missions_in_Israel

Diplomatic missions in Israel are foreign embassies and consulates in Israel. There are currently 88 embassies in Israel, of which 86 embassies are located in Tel Aviv and the Gush Dan Metropolitan Area and 2 embassies are located in Jerusalem.

Looks like most of them are in Tel Aviv yet the capital of Israel is Jerusalem.

Aren’t embassies usually in capitals ? Maybe the Embassies were situated in Tel Aviv because of all the fighting ?

In the case of J it is hoped by both sides that it will be their future capital. Most countries don’t want to move the embassy unless there is some definite peace treaty that resolves all issues first.

Ok nerds here’s the deal, no mobile phone signal so I use a yagi aerial and plug that into my old mobile that has a aerial jack and I get one bar and that’s fine.
If I upgraded my phone to a smart phone with no aerial port I’m guessin that I’ll have to get a signal booster wifi box that I can plug the yagi aerial into that will then provide a wifi connection to the smart phone and I’m away.
Is my thinking correct?

Yeah, that makes as much sense as does anything that has to do with smoking.

Well, if you want to really flaunt your wealth, you should be pushing that cigar chest off the top of a multi-storey car-park, and crumbling up the cigars and flushing them down the toilet. ‘That’s how rich i am, i can afford to do this and enjoy it.’

Hmmm. Depends what you want.

not sure what can be done these days.

wireless network box hopped wifi to your phone might give you skype, or fb messenger video/audio, that sort of thing (basically via an internet connection)

the other idea may be some confusion to do with repeaters, which are illegal probably.

you could get a smart phone with external antenna connection, to plug your friend yagi into. His offsider uda might help too.

Ah. Dan Murphy’s web site says 2-3 weeks wait. But I can be a patient person. Sometimes.

I should check whether the local bottle shop sells it. Buy one for testing and evaluation purposes…

Good morning Holidayers. Six degrees and overcast. The ground is wonderfully wet. BoM says Hamilton got 17mm yesterday but I suspect we were more like the 6 or 7 listed for other towns around the area. I didn’t look in our gauge. Perhaps I should do that.

I think I need to find work on the coast somewhere, I like the cold, but without the snow it’s just a little dire.

At least you can keep rugging-up until you look like the Michelin Man.

I thought we were supposed to get every international women’s cricket match live on “Australia’s new home of Cricket”.

Women’s world cup T20 semi-final currently on. No TV.

Bloody.

Yea, just as well puffy jackets are all trendy now. Although, I do wonder why the fuck people on the coast wear them when I’m visiting Sydney.

Feels Like -3.4°C

Feels chilly here. Feels like I need a track-suit top on. And it’s 21.6°C!

Yea, has been there for ~5 years apparently, which is abit longer than you’d expect if it was going to die. Wasn’t expensive (to me, but I’m no student).

On that visitor to North Sentinel…

He visited them twice and wrote a journal entry after the first day . He appears to have been a bit of a numbnuts in all kindness.

He brought gifts: fish and a football. They already have fish. They are a fishing culture. They don’t need a football.

He also said that on the first visit, a kid shot an arrow into his Bible. “now as I look back at it, my Bible cover looks like bark – like tree bark, so maybe he was just curious but yikes, it sure gave me a fright”

Or maybe it was a warning shot.

Fighting fires could be risky. In the country, it’s mostly boring. The Permanent Fireman in Armidale had a room set up where he could polish gems. He did several sapphires for me. Stones that I’d found. They became Mrs V’s eventually. Engagement ring, eternity ring, ear-rings.

On that visitor to North Sentinel…

He visited them twice and wrote a journal entry after the first day . He appears to have been a bit of a numbnuts in all kindness.

He brought gifts: fish and a football. They already have fish. They are a fishing culture. They don’t need a football.

He also said that on the first visit, a kid shot an arrow into his Bible. “now as I look back at it, my Bible cover looks like bark – like tree bark, so maybe he was just curious but yikes, it sure gave me a fright”

Or maybe it was a warning shot.

Nope. Good or bad?

They seem to have the state government bent all the way over, and they’re giving it an absolute flogging.

Dunno about other states, but in Vic the entrance physical is extremely hard work. I’ve trained people for it, and I think only a very few people would be capable of it.

Looking at the blokes who have been in the job for a few years, there seems to be no expectation to maintain that level of fitness, however.

One of my mates is an ambo who after years of doing air wing decided he wanted a change and became a firey. He lasted about 3 or 4 years and then scuttled back to the ambos. Stated that he was bored out of his gourd.

And an update on the Telstra thing. Despite telling them yesterday to phone here for further stuff, the complaints department phoned Mr buffy at home this morning. From Manilla. Then they said he wasn’t authorized. But, you know, they could only have got that phone number from the original order/contract. On which he is listed as an authorized person. Never mind. They did agree that I shouldn’t pay for something that does not exist. But it might show on the next bill again because it will take 15 (?) days to sort it out. And we are to email this same person to tell them and they will remove it again. This organization is not very organized, are they…

Bottlenose dolphins have been reported to kill their young through impact injuries. Dominant male Langurs tend to kill the existing young upon taking control of a harem. There has been sightings of infanticide in the leopard population. The males of the Stegodyphus lineatus species of spider have been known to exhibit infanticide as a way to encourage females to mate again. Americans kill their young by social disintegration and firearms.

Should be a good one but T20 is really a lottery, should be best of three for the finals I reckon.

It’s called ‘the customer-service runaround’.

They make it slow and complicated (and they can be deliberately obtuse) in the hope that you’ll just give up, and they can keep the money. Works, more often than not, certainly often enough for them to persist with it.

Oh. FFS.

Mrs S used to know a nurse who went to work in a Miami, Florida hospital. Her family went there with her.

She said that they had a nice house, but every evening was a symphony of sirens and gunfire in the surrounding streets. They slept on mattresses on the floor, to minimise the risk of being hit by stray bullets coming through walls or windows.

When her contract was up, they couldn’t bail out of Miami quick enough. She finished her last shift, her family met her at the hospital door in cabs, and they went straight to the airport and got on the plane out, she didn’t even pause to change out of her hospital clothes.

Nah, I’ll give it a miss altogether thanks.

I mean, they run around shouting “FUCK OFF! FUCK OFF! FUCK OFF! FUCK OFF!” (at least that’s a very rough translation) as soon as you step ashore, if you make it that far, and then the kiddies start flinging spears at you.. and then they start getting testy.

Can’t say what it’s like now. This was some years back, and that’s how she told it.

The US Army used to deliberately shoot animals, to give Army doctors practical examples of gunshot wounds. Not any more.

They just send their docs to hospitals in Washington and Miami. They get all the GSWs they need, and more.

I’m sue I herd sirens at other places but probably not as much…. I still felt safe enough there.. even when I was pulled over for a routine traffic stop and had to exit the vehicle with police weapons aimed at me…

if you walked innocently along a street just to get to the store they thought you were a hooker… apparently no one walks in that part of LA unless you are selling something … so I found ut one day when a cab driver pulled up in front of me (he hopped the curb to block my path and said “I need you for an hour” innocent me said “Whatdo you need me for an hour for?” and he said “No sex, I just need you to help with something” to which I replied “Oh, My word man! I am not a hooker I’m Australian!” to which he responded, “Then don’t walk the street, ma’am, catch the bus” and so endeth my lesson

Bottlenose dolphins have been reported to kill their young through impact injuries. Dominant male Langurs tend to kill the existing young upon taking control of a harem. There has been sightings of infanticide in the leopard population. The males of the Stegodyphus lineatus species of spider have been known to exhibit infanticide as a way to encourage females to mate again. Americans kill their young by social disintegration and firearms.

Calling for the nurse. They are like doorbells in their sound, but they just ring and ring and ring and ring and ring and ring and ring and ring untill a nurse arrives to turn it off. Then someone else presses the button and it rings and rings and rings and rings …..

On this Thanksgiving, Donald Trump is thankful for his family — as well as the “tremendous difference” he has made as President.

When asked what he wanted to give thanks for during a press gaggle Thursday, Trump responded, “for having a great family and for having made a tremendous difference in this country. I’ve made a tremendous difference in the country. This country is so much stronger now than it was when I took office that you wouldn’t believe it.”
“And I mean, you see, but so much stronger people can’t even believe it. When I see foreign leaders they say we cannot believe the difference in strength between the United States now and the United States two years ago,” he continued. “Made a lot of progress.”
The comments came after Trump broke with tradition to use a Thanksgiving morning call with military members to weigh in on several controversial political issues, including chiding the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and demanding a stronger US-Mexico border.

I am reading about the OK corral and along the way learned the American legal system has been complicated from early days. Sherriffs were more about collecting taxes and they took a percentage as wages which encouraged them to get out and assess remote and frontier properties. Most of those frontier properties resented paying taxes where they saw no return. Marshalls were more about law enforcement but in areas that were incorporated it was the under sheriffs who looked after local and city ordinance offences. Outside it was federal ie Marshall jurisdiction excepts for federal offenses in incorporated areas for example stagecoach robbery because that usually involved mail theft. To confuse things more not all states or territories used the titles in the same way.

I am not a royalist but I would need a damn good model and reason to vote for an alternative.

It is a fair point.

The present system is silly, anachronistic and undemocratic. So I wouldn’t be demanding a damn good alternative, a mediocre one would suffice.

It’s not silly and it’s certainly the most democratic system in the world. Because it requires everyone to vote. And allows your vote for your next choice should your first choice be eliminated.

The only anachronism I can see is the paper voting, which means counting takes some considerable time.

We’re talking about the head of state, who is a hereditary monarch.

Is the republican model mediocre?

I think a populist vote for “President” is mediocre. This gets you a political, elected king.

My choice of republican model is an appointed president: 3/4 of both houses of parliament sitting together. (Reduces politics.)

The only function of said President would be to sack the government and call an election. In doing that, the President should lose his position and never be able to be appointed again.

Mee too. Essentially just the GG but with a different title. I would avoid calling the office “President” even.

See my other post, where I indicate my preferred model.

But honestly, I think Shorten’s got this one wrong. Another plebiscite? Flick me. We wasted good hospitals money for the last one. Or the money could’ve been used to improve other stuff. They should get on with the job of governing…

Be warned…the tax office scammers have got the work experience kid doing the recording…Mr buffy took a call this afternoon saying he had to respond by phoning a particular number or the tax office was issuing a warrant and “the cops” would be here to get him. Hmm. If you want to actually sound like a government department, mentioning “the cops” is probably not the way to do it.

Could you make it a function of the Supreme Court, if supply is not voted in, or no one can command a majority of the house the court can dissolve it? Or any other reason the court decides to retain the ambiguities loved in the Westminster system.

Human rights is seen to be something to be controlled, and from their perspective they don’t not want any change.

“Preserve Western culture.” “Return to 1950s Australia, where things were less complicated.”

Those statements are about not about changing anything, they want to keep women in the kitchen, they want to keep women’s wages low and they want to have the religious freedom to abuse others rights etc

Allowing people their rights reduces complexity.

Discriminating makes things more complicated.

Just got out of hospital, where I was treated (with IV ABs) for cellulitis in my lower left leg/ankle (cankle). I was there for three days. I also discovered that my paternal grandfather had the same thing, but the leg was amputated.

that’s no good. Glad you’re out of hospital though.

‘The report also notes that Australia’s reliance on property prices (60 per cent of our assets are “non-financial”) is higher than a lot of other places.’

It’s because we’re all playing little property developer games, getting rich by buying and selling houses to each other with borrowed money.

Hardly seems like a Ponzi scheme at all…

Probably because it’s not. Property prices are high because we have high incomes not the other way round.

There’s a lot of possible explanations, none of which help anything much, but if we compare wage rise and property price rise, I would be very surprised if this one held water.

It’s not quite like a Ponzi scheme since there is obvious intrinsic value to the properties.

But what we think we can afford is dictated by how much a financier tells us we can afford, which is based upon all sorts of bright and beautiful things.

The yield of an asset is one of the most basic measures of financial value. If you disregard that then nothing has any ‘intrinsic’ value.

This is a different meaning for ‘intrinsic’ to the one I understand.

The yield of an asset is one of the most basic measures of financial value. If you disregard that then nothing has any ‘intrinsic’ value.

Yeah OK. To me, ‘intrinsic’ means the innate, natural, functional qualities of a thing. Houses can protect people from the weather, land can grow grass to feed animals, that kind of stuff.

Goodnight. We get to vote in the morning.

what’s the latest polling on the Vic election?

54/46 to the ALP.

The bookies are paying $4.00 on ALP to win by at least 11 seats, or $51.00 on LNP to win by 6 or more.

Sooo… They’re predicting a flogging.

Very hard to put an intrinsic value on real estate. You can estimate what it would cost in terms of labour and materials to reconstruct a replica of the building, but the bigger driver of price is the location. Vary hard ot place an intrinsic value on that.

The creator of a low-cost house made of bamboo to tackle the chronic shortage of affordable housing in the Philippine capital has won a top international prize to design future cities.
Earl Forlales, 23, won the first prize from the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in its Cities for our Future competition.
The prize money of 50,000 pounds ($88,000) will fund a prototype, as well as actual units.
The house, known as CUBO, uses engineered bamboo, and can be put together in just four hours at a cost of just over $100 per square metre.

The replacement value of the house is pretty straightforward and unponzified (it seems to me).

The value of the land is another matter. The price paid for land is obviously effected by what you think you can sell it for, so there is a significant Ponzi element.

Not as much as BitCoin (which has negative intrinsic value), or a bottle of Grange, but still significant.

Domestic builders are still quoteing $4,500/10m^2^ at the bottom of the market, which is about what they were getting 30 years ago, so build cost is possibly not the strongest predictor of ultimate price.

I spent two weeks in Cambodia early this year building bamboo houses. Took us a bit more than 4 hours/house though.

OK, again I can only say that to me the term ‘intrinsic’ means the innate, natural properties of the thing. Gold has intrinsic value as a very soft metal (easy to shape) and very resistant to corrosion (lasts forever). Water has intrinsic value for its ability to sustain life and push things around. A laptop computer has intrinsic value as a chopping board, plate, fly swatter, and maybe seat. These are the innate or natural physical properties of the thing. It seems to me that the further you go from that simple definition, the greater the errors of imposition become.

But the start of the discussion was based on price, rather than vague concepts of usefulness, so perhaps you should just insert a different word where you see “intrinsic”.

I don’t know about applauding his death, but it seems to height of arrogance to try and land there to convert these people. I also can’t help but have a feeling that he was doing it to big-note himself and his own reputation in missionary circles, as the primary motivation, moreso than genuine concern for these peoples’ salvation.

I think not so much stupid, but driven by pride and ambition to ignore the risks in the hope of securing his own reputation. If he pulled it off it would be a lifetime of lucrative speaking engaements back home and legend status within th bible belt.

Have I mentioned that my first bash at Uni was four years worth of social Anthropology? I completely lost sight of the value of the endeavour when I realised that the stuff people were describing in their ethnographies seemed so unlikely as to be ridiculous. Almost certainly bullshit. This ‘first contact’ situation is not really so different to many before it.

But let’s put the shoe on the other foot – a North Sentinalese man turns up one day in the middle of Bernie, Tas, with a football and a bag of fish. He has no idea about anything and doesn’t speak the language. How d’ya reckon that will go for him?

House prices will fall and rise on what people can afford and the economic structure.
It used to be structured on a one income family, when that changed to a two income family it adjusted accordingly.

the release of land has changed a lot probably, which is not entirely separable from the demand landscape it is released into. Meaning the two influence each other.

That’s five explanations for housing prices so far tonight….

Anyone got any others?

I wasn’t offering an explanation, just mentioning that release of land has an influence.

Scots is the Germanic language variety spoken in Lowland Scotland and parts of Ulster. It is sometimes called Lowland Scots to distinguish it from Scottish Gaelic, the Celtic language which was historically restricted to most of the Highlands, the Hebrides and Galloway after the 16th century.

Our bed just broke.

For some reason, we never affixed the slats. Hasn’t been too annoying, just move them when they slip. When I got into bed last night, I thought my side was a little higher than usual. When I got up, I returned to see Mr Mutant practically lying on the floor and the slats on my side in the air. Naturally I jumped on my side… and Mr Mutant landed on the floor.

The middle support bit broke. Nothing a trip to Bunnings won’t fix.

Good morning everybody.

22.2°C, 35% RH (lowest humidity I’ve seen here, I think), clear and variably calm to moderate breezes. ORB = 0. BoM predicts 31°C (again – but it got to at least 32.2°C yesterday). This is up from a low of 12.9°C, and they predict no rain.

I’ll continue re-organising and spring-cleaning the office and the library.

Yesterday morning was hazy here, and I could smell dust on-and-off the previous night, yesterday and last night, too. (And a weak bushfire smell, occasionally, as well.) I had wondered whether we had some low-atmosphere dust. I should’ve collected it. Clay is needed, you see.

Just back from patrolling with the Barely-Domesticated Wolf.

There’s a ‘conference/training centre’ on the other side of the park, which was sold and has been idle for a couple of years. I heard loud metallic banging, and surmised that a shed door had blown open in the stiff SW winds here. So, i stepped through the simple wire-strand fence, to see about securing it.

I found the entire metal shed, size of a small garage, blown over onto its roof. Looking at it, it seems that it was never fixed to the ground in any way. Just assembled, and plonked on a bed of cracker dust. It’s a wonder that it’s stayed in place this long.

Jammed the swinging, banging doors in the open position with timber and rocks, but there’s nowt else to be done. It’s a bit more shetered where it is now, so it should be right.

Yes – frightening! There’s also Polysorbate 80 in vaccines, and fluoride in water supplies in countries like Australia and the US, which help transfer these toxins to the brain. And I believe aluminium is one of the main contents of the chemtrails we’re being increasingly bombarded with. I’ve been doing my best to avoid all sources of aluminium for decades, and have done a heavy metal detox, yet a test I had done recently showed I carry quite high levels of it. I suspect chemtrails are one source of my exposure. God help us!

The answer lies in the “synergistic” biological effects: Agi-pesticides / herbacides / fungicides + aluminum / mercury, etc. These metallic nano-particulates bio-accumulate in the brain, bone marrow, lymph glands, endocrine glands, etc., while the Agri-bio compounds facilitate their access and dispersal. If this is true, what can we speculate would occur when electromagnetic frequencies are applied to these metallic bio-accumulations in the human body in the form of 4G or 5G “telecommunications”? Does this give you some idea what the semi-secret bio-labs have been working on for the past 70 years? Welcome to the bottom of the rabbit-hole…

I’m sorry to say this doesn’t surprise me at all. It’s quite common for SES Units to be called out to sheds, verandas, trampolines, fences, and all kinds of kids’ play equipment that’s been blown across a suburb.

If this is true, what can we speculate would occur when electromagnetic frequencies are applied to these metallic bio-accumulations in the human body in the form of 4G or 5G “telecommunications”? Does this give you some idea what the semi-secret bio-labs have been working on for the past 70 years? Welcome to the bottom of the rabbit-hole…

Something’s going on with giant machinery and armies of workmen in the back garden of the house from which I recently moved.

Truck with a giant orange extendable craney thing, a bulldozer, you name it.

The UK is on course for the longest fall in living standards since records began in the 1950s, as analysis shows Philip Hammond’s budget will drive up inequality.

The Resolution Foundation said the stark downgrade to economic growth revealed by the chancellor on Wednesday means household disposable incomes were now set to fall until 2020. It also found the poorest third are set for an average loss of £715 a year over the coming five years, while the richest third stand to gain £185 on average.

Hammond slashed stamp duty for first-time homebuyers as part of a package of measures to boost the economy, facing evidence that the UK will be one of the weakest-growing major countries over the next five years. Britain’s growth rate was cut from 2% to 1.5% in 2017 and by between 0.2 and 0.5 percentage points over the next four years.

But the Resolution Foundation analysis shows the chancellor could have used his £3bn stamp duty cut to build 40,000 social rented properties or about 140,000homes through the government’s own Housing Infrastructure Fund..

The government’s independent forecaster, the Office for Budget Responsibility, has already warned that the key measure unveiled by the chancellor may backfire by pushing up house prices, benefiting those who already own homes the most.

Lots of rain. It stopped for a short time and I ran out and turned on the pump. And it’s raining again.

A little while ago a man walked down the drive. He was dressed in Hi Vis. He looked at the house, then turned around and shook his head at someone not in my view. And then he went away.

I have been pruning the feijoa tree so we can put the garden table under it. But I won’t get out the chipper today because it’s still a bit damp and I have to go with Mr buffy to teach CPR in about an hour.

I do have time to put in some seed for dill, coriander and gypsophila. I seem to have mislaid the parsley seed. I’ll have to find that too so I can do a parsley border near the santolina, chives and heliotrope.

He was probably lost.

Or maybe he was from the Hydro and was looking for a line down somewhere. And found the end of the road. We’ll never know now.

There’s an old weatherboard cottage on the wa to work that’s recently been sold. Quirky, cute little thnig, but in terrible disrepair.

I’m watching to see when they start demolition. I’m itching to ask for permission to pick over the skip bins etc. Should be some nice little bits of timber for the finding.

there is stuff under the shed like that. At one stage we were burning specialty timbers mill ends for firewood. Some of it was too nice to burn and that got stuck under the shed.

I gave Ben ex forummer a 60cm across Myrtle burl the other day. His Mum does some turning. I hope it turns into something.

I have sliced mallee roots and Yarran, Mulga and Needlewood. Plus some slabs from the Black English mulberry trunk. Cut down years ago in an attempt to thwart the starlings.

Do you guys remember oilcloth tablecloths? I am thinking of buying one for Sarah for Christmas. They are a lot more expensive than vinyl. But I am thinking it would be a good thing for her kitchen with a two year old eating in it.

For anyone interested…

Last night’s Open Mic went well. We had more audience members than our previous event, all three authors sold a few of their books, and we have more readers booked for next year.

One of our readers was unable to make it for health reasons, so I was asked to step in and read. Luckily everything is on the iPad which I carry everywhere, so no big deal.

One of the authors caused some audience members to blush… She’s writte a book about her recovery from sex addiction, however the excerpt she read involved a job at a childcare centre. She had to deal with a guy who didn’t have any children, but contacted the centre because he had a fetish for someone to breastfeed him. Not quite what we were expecting…

I think the definition of addiction is when it starts messing with all areas of your life.

actually, semi-deciduous. The only true deciduous Aussies are the Nothofagus.
The Melia azeradach, White Cedar, is possibly the more likely that the red.

On that note, when planted out in southern inland arid districts, the Red Cedar is never deciduous. The White cedar almost always is.
Brachychiton species are semi-deciduous as also is the Silky Oak.

Basically, semi-deciduous denotes trees that drop thejr leaves iin order to make their flowers prominent.

On that note, when planted out in southern inland arid districts, the Red Cedar is never deciduous. The White cedar almost always is.
Brachychiton species are semi-deciduous as also is the Silky Oak.

Yes I’ve noticed that with the silky oaks.

We’ve noticed it around here, too. Every autumn, we’re knee deep in silky-oak cast-offs.

Basically, semi-deciduous denotes trees that drop thejr leaves iin order to make their flowers prominent.

The Illawarra Flame Tree, is a Brachychiton

It is a great source of leaf mulch or mould, if you don’t miind hand weeding millions of seedlings.

My red cedar is deciduous here. Winter sun for several months and summer shade. I’m giving it one more summer then it has to go, it’s getting way too big. It’s a shame though, as it cools down the place by several degrees. I’m hoping for one last crop of seeds to do some guerilla planting of seedlings.

Hence, semi-deciduous. It drops its leaves because it is going into flower production.

My tree gets flowers after it gets the new foliage. Foliage drop is two or three months before it gets new leaves. There was heaps of red cedar trees here originally, there is a rural suburb near here called Cedar Brush. They used to sail barges up Terrigal Lagoon to collect the logs. Back when it was 40 foot deep and there was no bridge.

Yes – frightening! There’s also Polysorbate 80 in vaccines, and fluoride in water supplies in countries like Australia and the US, which help transfer these toxins to the brain. And I believe aluminium is one of the main contents of the chemtrails we’re being increasingly bombarded with. I’ve been doing my best to avoid all sources of aluminium for decades, and have done a heavy metal detox, yet a test I had done recently showed I carry quite high levels of it. I suspect chemtrails are one source of my exposure. God help us!

The answer lies in the “synergistic” biological effects: Agi-pesticides / herbacides / fungicides + aluminum / mercury, etc. These metallic nano-particulates bio-accumulate in the brain, bone marrow, lymph glands, endocrine glands, etc., while the Agri-bio compounds facilitate their access and dispersal. If this is true, what can we speculate would occur when electromagnetic frequencies are applied to these metallic bio-accumulations in the human body in the form of 4G or 5G “telecommunications”? Does this give you some idea what the semi-secret bio-labs have been working on for the past 70 years? Welcome to the bottom of the rabbit-hole…

I’m watching to see when they start demolition. I’m itching to ask for permission to pick over the skip bins etc. Should be some nice little bits of timber for the finding.

I have lots of bits from the old house stacked under the shed. What were looking for?

Right now, some bits of red cedar, to make some supporting brackets for shelves of the same material.

What size?

Are you aware that Surien (Asian mahogany often from the Philipines) is genetically and visually identical? It’s reasonably cheap.

It was inevitable.

McDonalds hamburgers have been steadily shrinking in size for many years, althoug they quite predictably deny it.

It was bound to reach the stage where their product would become so small that stores would begin to disappear up their own fundaments.

A few years ago I noticed a rotten looking stump of a broken branch sticking out from the base of a bush, thought I would kick it off and stomped down on it. Bloody thing was sun hardened and solid. I drove it through the sole of my shoe and into my foot where a bit broke off. Big black bruise and lots of blood, I was limping for a week.

A few years ago I noticed a rotten looking stump of a broken branch sticking out from the base of a bush, thought I would kick it off and stomped down on it. Bloody thing was sun hardened and solid. I drove it through the sole of my shoe and into my foot where a bit broke off. Big black bruise and lots of blood, I was limping for a week.

Ouch

Unfortunately Ricky Muir was not contesting an upper house seat so I couldn’t put him at #1, which I did at the last Federal election. Spread the love around with the nutters going last.

We had an independent running for the lower house seat of Essendon. A woman named Kate Baker. That’s all I know about her. She had electioneering material printed and even people standing there and handing it out. I cannot even find out what she stands for after a search. She could be a Nazi for all I know, but as a good voting slave I followed the green ticket slavishly and put her fourth.

Somewhere in recent years, a bloke stood for election on the platform that ‘it’s a big trough, and i want to get my snout into it’.

He didn’t win, but did get some votes, IIRC.

Indeed. A friend who had a motorcycle accident’s doctors were most concerned with his broken ribs. Painkillers and a high tolerance for pain meant they missed his broken wrist and the shattered bones apparently died. He’s since had surgery where some sort of graft was involved from what I understand.

You’ll be dropped straight into Cat 5 and sit there until everyone else is cleared – Which could be a long wait on a Saturday night.

I’d suggest give it a good clean by soaking in a warm antiseptic solution (Dettol in warm water), then check out the wound, and decide whether you want cover with a non-stick dressing and leave it, or cover and take it to a 24-hour ‘super’ clinic, or get a Locum doctor, or go to a 24-hour pharmacist for dressing, or hospital.

Good luck with it.

Not necessarily.

I cut the top off my finger on a filing cabinet edge one day at work. Blood everywhere.

Becase it was a hospital, we weren’t allowed to have first-aid kits – you get hurt, go to Emergency, it’s a hospital.

Went to ED. Asked for some bandage, dressing etc., we could fix it back in the office. Was told to sit and wait, did as i was told. Waited. Waited. Waited.

The paper towel i had was soaked with blood, and beginning to fall apart.

Someone came along, said ooh, that looks nasty, we’ll get you somethig for that.

And they did: they got me a bucket of sand, so i wouldn’t get blood on the floor.

Gave up, went back to the office, fashioned my own dressing out of clean Chux, paper towel, and sticky-tape.

He does seem to be at odds with the US government a bit lately, including casting doubt on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s involvement in the murder of a journalist.

All those Nats votes belong Lowan. Out here there has apparently been a 0.6% swing to Labor. From the Nats. I voted Green also…..because when you look at the polling booth results you can see you vote sitting there with the 5 others (who I think I probably know who they are). So I put my “real” preference after the Greens. Actually, today, just to be perverse, I voted Green, independent, Labor, odd person that I didn’t know anything about, Nat. So my vote was actually Labor.

Gosh, might that not damage the credibility, and therefore the ‘newsworthiness’, of polls in general?

I don’t think we’ll be seeing any such comparisons.

Nah, this is prepoll day voting. Nothing to do with polls.

Mr buffy just reminded me of the first time we voted in Hawkesdale when there were Greens in the running. The booth numbers showed two Greens votes.

Be a while before we get the finals but Antony’s projection from what’s been counted so far is about 1.5% more favourable to the ALP than the final polls indicated.

To be honest I don’t think the Liberal’s campaign was that bad when it came to any vitreol. More simply uninspiring IMO. This is Victoria where politics is a little more civilised.

Why is it that Green seats (both state and federal) are about as inner city as you can get. Rather odd considering the inner city is as far away as you can get from all those trees that actually need their hugs.

I did note there was no Aust Christian Lobby, no Family First, and no One Nation contesting ANY electorate in the Victorian election.

Yet the coalition vote was decimated. It all went to Labor too. Seems the lurch to the right was firmly rejected.

Yeah, seems to be coming good. The ABs are doing their work. It still looks messy but every every medical person that has taken a closer look says it is actually not as bad as it looks. Good signs I hope.

Woodie, this made it extremely difficult for those of us who vote below the line in the senate. Normally you can group these, and their ilk, all together and then roll a few dice to see who is going to be at the bottom of your ticket. Without complete and utter nutters who have to filter on average nutters, which is much harder.

The funny thing is that it our weird senate system occasionally comes off. Ricky Muir was voted to the Federal Senate with three primary votes and a tissue. Was a walking joke when he entered parliament. Made some votes that I disagreed with, and others that I did. He eventually voted on his conscience when he knew it would be the end of his political career. I just wish that most of our elected representatives would have balls that big..

the easiest way to sort of australia’s political system ?

don’t make voting compulsory

charge every voter 1000 dollars to vote – if you can’t scratch up a few shekels to vote then you probably shouldn’t be voting because you are too young or too stupid to vote in the first place

if you are laying down 1000 dollars it will sharpen your mind about who you are voting and why – a thousand dollars means you’ve got some skin in the game

it makes sense

if you don’t have any skin in the game theres no way you are going to responsible

as australia has some fairly lax electoral security then cheating is going to be an expensive business – you tuen up with your cash or eftpos card then go and vote and by god those promises they made had better be followed up with action.

handing over money for something sharpens the mind

From my perspective, the Australian political spectrum has moved so far to the right, that the middle is now regarded as the left. The current ‘centre-right’ federal government, for example, is demonstrably at home among the totalitarian thinking of ultra-conservative regimes.

The only thing that separates The Nationals from One Notion is the veneer of gentility.

Workshop of James Watts, 1924, prior to being dismantled to become a museum exhibit.

The workshop was acquired by the Science Museum from Watt’s home, ‘Heathfield’, at Handsworth in Birmingham, in 1924. In that year, the workshop and its complete contents (more than 8,400 objects), along with the door and window, skylight, floorboards, and even a section of the banisters from outside, complete with a shelf where servants could allegedly leave food for Watt if he was heavily engaged within, were all packed up and transported to South Kensington.

Another view of the workshop, showing the sheer profusion of objects that it holds; particularly prominent are Watt’s sculpture-copying machines and associated material.

Nasty. They can be quite dangerous waterways. Require a lot of navigation skill and experience.

They’re not fascists, unless you want to completely redefine the term. It’s a ridiculous term to put on them.

But… The term has been widely purloined to mean any far right wing political fan or policy. Nobody really knows where it came from any more, do they?

and there were up until recently 19 extreme right fascist in the Nationals and why did they change their name from country party?

They screwed the pooch big, big time. If they want to be a party that is taken seriously then they probably need to take the toys away from the kids and let some adults in charge.

How did the Nationals go? I can’t find any mention of them…

I haven’t bothered to look, but I’d bet we’ve still got a lower house National here. It is unlikely Emma got displaced.

Canals are very different to open waterways. There’s a lot of complex interplay of water pressures between a vessel, the sides and bottom of the canal/aqueduct, the flow of water in the canal, and between passing vessels. If you’re not careful, your vessel can be ‘sucked’ into a collision with the canal sides, or with another vessel.

Navigating canals is a whole subject in itself in navigation and shiphandling.

Does he offer any actual evidence of the metal that he’s ‘chelated’ out of his body? Any explanation of how he determined that it was there, that it’s gone, or how the process worked? Is it anything to do with those fruitcakes who eat silver and turn blue, and then die (in a much more healthy state than they would have been, of course)?

Good morning everybody.

26.0°C, 29% RH, Scattered high cloud moving eastward rapidly and a light air. ORB = 0. BoM predicts 33°C, up from 14.3°C and a slight chance of very little rain late morning. Could be, too. There is a small amount of light rain on the radar moving eastwards towards us right now.

I might move the old communications rack that used to be in the office to under one of the awnings, and set it up as a pot-plant stand today. I put it in the carport last night. I’ll have to make a timber stand for it, I think. Maybe.

I’m annoyed because they said “every Australian Women’s International match on FTA TV”. Which was not the truth.

They were 2nd or 3rd in every region, got about 10% of the vote, but will end up with 1 member in the legislative council out of 40.

Meanwhile the clever preference deals have seen parties with less than 1% got multiple representatives. Ah well.

Animal Justice Party got up in Western Victoria. They got about 3% of the votes so they were a miniparty but not a microparty. Perhaps because I have stereotypical views, I would not have expected them to do so well in a rural area.

From my perspective, the Australian political spectrum has moved so far to the right, that the middle is now regarded as the left. The current ‘centre-right’ federal government, for example, is demonstrably at home among the totalitarian thinking of ultra-conservative regimes.

The only thing that separates The Nationals from One Notion is the veneer of gentility.

Likewise One Nation are extreme right. The only real valid conparison one can make if whether the ALP are conservative and vice versa is by comparing states and countries. For example Victoria is the most left-wing Australian state. Or that Australian politics is to the left of the US or to the right of continental Europe. As to whether the Nationals are fascist or as extreme right as One Nation i’d say no. They may be social conservatives but they exhibit none of the anti-Islamic sentiment of One Nation and on economics they are to the left of their coalition allies the Liberal Party.

To cut to the chase, Alan Jones’s contract is up in the middle of next year, and current 2GB management does not want to renew it. There are a variety of reasons, but first and foremost is that Jones has in recent times gone from being the biggest asset the station possesses – and the greatest generator of profits – to being a massive liability.

The record $3.7 million defamation payout to Toowoomba’s Wagner family is a big part of that. Jones’ repeated slurs of the family over years were simply shocking, most particularly when, as the court case showed, Jones had no basis for accusing them of “murder” at all. The reckoning is that if Jones is so wildly reckless as to engage in that kind of defamation in his twilight years as a broadcaster, just what might he do next, and how much would that defamation cost?

The second factor is that with the advent of social justice warriors such as Sleeping Giants pursuing Jones’s sponsors online over being associated with his brand of bigotry, racism, misogyny and bullying – take your pick – many of those sponsors are not just running from Jones’s show, but all of 2GB. He has, in sum, lost the confidence of the management, and they want him gone.

Does that, then mean the definite end of Jones on the Sydney airwaves, or at least those of 2GB? Hopefully. And I write that as one who recently wrote him an open letter, in the wake of the Opera House disgrace – and meant every syllable – that: “You are a tumour on the body politic of this city, state, and country and the sooner he is excised the better.” But, aware that the walls are closing in, Jones – even from his hospital bed where he has been treated for serious back pain – has been fighting a furious rearguard action, trying to convince the key powerbrokers that he is still worth the trouble.

Given the merger of Fairfax and Nine, it means that the most influential figure in the piece now is new chair of the merged entity, Peter Costello, and Jones has been particularly working him. Hopefully, Costello will come to the same conclusion as the 2GB powerbrokers – though Jones hasn’t yet destroyed the joint, he is certainly stinking it up, and the sponsors won’t come back while he is there. If he goes, Ray Hadley will get the Breakfast shift. A name I have heard in dispatches to take Hadley’s morning shift is Channel Nine’s Deb Knight. Watch this space.

They only have one room there. And with all those participants, I think they may have plenty of stock. One of those people (Andrew) is the partner of Kelly, who used to run Madigans. They had antiques and he’s got a pretty good idea about them. He had a sale after Kelly died, but still has quite a bit of stuff I think. And most of my furniture and chinaware is family stuff. And a couple of pieces Mr buffy and I bought (an oak chest and a dining table. So despite what Mr buffy might say…I don’t have much at all that I could part with at this stage unless it’s given to other family members. I do have two chairs Mr buffy bought from Kelly for me. And they stay here.

The Nationals are a bunch of fat cats, mostly sitting in safe seats and are content to sit of their arse and do nothing to rock the boat. They are like One Nation in their polices are cockeyed and self-serving, plus both have the distinction that Australia would be better off without them.

The Nats are sometimes described as ‘agrarian socialists’. They’re not all that keen on big government projects and massive social spending, except when such things are of direct and/or exclusive benefit to their traditional rural electorate.

On those occasions, they don’t mind the taste of a bit of socialism at all.

As long as they are faithful replicas I don’t mind.
Some of the things on display in museums are actually replicas.

To cut to the chase, Alan Jones’s contract is up in the middle of next year, and current 2GB management does not want to renew it. There are a variety of reasons, but first and foremost is that Jones has in recent times gone from being the biggest asset the station possesses – and the greatest generator of profits – to being a massive liability.

The record $3.7 million defamation payout to Toowoomba’s Wagner family is a big part of that. Jones’ repeated slurs of the family over years were simply shocking, most particularly when, as the court case showed, Jones had no basis for accusing them of “murder” at all. The reckoning is that if Jones is so wildly reckless as to engage in that kind of defamation in his twilight years as a broadcaster, just what might he do next, and how much would that defamation cost?

The second factor is that with the advent of social justice warriors such as Sleeping Giants pursuing Jones’s sponsors online over being associated with his brand of bigotry, racism, misogyny and bullying – take your pick – many of those sponsors are not just running from Jones’s show, but all of 2GB. He has, in sum, lost the confidence of the management, and they want him gone.

Does that, then mean the definite end of Jones on the Sydney airwaves, or at least those of 2GB? Hopefully. And I write that as one who recently wrote him an open letter, in the wake of the Opera House disgrace – and meant every syllable – that: “You are a tumour on the body politic of this city, state, and country and the sooner he is excised the better.” But, aware that the walls are closing in, Jones – even from his hospital bed where he has been treated for serious back pain – has been fighting a furious rearguard action, trying to convince the key powerbrokers that he is still worth the trouble.

Given the merger of Fairfax and Nine, it means that the most influential figure in the piece now is new chair of the merged entity, Peter Costello, and Jones has been particularly working him. Hopefully, Costello will come to the same conclusion as the 2GB powerbrokers – though Jones hasn’t yet destroyed the joint, he is certainly stinking it up, and the sponsors won’t come back while he is there. If he goes, Ray Hadley will get the Breakfast shift. A name I have heard in dispatches to take Hadley’s morning shift is Channel Nine’s Deb Knight. Watch this space.

That’s right, there’s a replica of the Ark in a museum in Kentucky and they are quite open and upfront about it being a replica.

Maybe remove the prime minister-ship all together. Just have ministers who all vote on things, not one person doing the capt call anymore, its old hat anyway.

It does not show stability in the party, and it looks like messages are being sent to other countries about overall position on policy.

The people still vote as normal

The change is within government from being a singular prime minister ship towards being broken up into a group of people.

Maybe 10 to fifty people ? Replacing the Prime Minister.

Why should one person be given so much to do when it can be spread around a bit more, to hopefully be more productive.

People within the wining party vote for their ministers.

Im not really fused with parties, a republican change could be

everyone votes for independents and then the independents chose the minister ship

other wise Id like to see some changes within parties because that model looks to have problems.

I have made a chicken and asparagus pie. I found a Hairy Bikers recipe for the shortcrust pastry. Which turned out quite short and hard to handle. But looks good. Disappointed to find in the written down version they don’t use the term “eggy wash”. They say to glaze the top with beaten egg. Where is the fun in that?!

And of course, there is always leftover pastry, so we have little blackcurrant tarts for dessert.

The words for “I am a Walrus”, are nonsense, sure – but they do have a lyrical quality. I’m not sure what that has to do with the “Chinglish” writing which has no lyrical quality.

The tool is like the windows snip tool only its within the web browser window, ie, you don’t have to leave the browser

Unless you activate the snip tool using multi-mouse commands, which I lot of people do.

So it’s hypertonic and “Diphoterine solution contains an amphoteric and chelating molecule”. I’ll have to look up amphoteric. I don’t know what it means. And the chemists might be able to think of some sort of all purpose chelator. I don’t know of any. (But then I’m not a chemist) They are claiming this stuff can be used on pretty much all chemical splashes, so it has to be some sort of all purpose chelator.

Reference 2 is dated 2009. Has this stuff been around for nearly 10 years? If so, and if good, I’d expect it to be quite widely used by now.

Political groups driven by high emotion have clouded observation, they need to remove the anger, anxiety and negative emotions.

Equal rights is not a threat to masculinity, Equal rights creates balance and a healthily society.

What do they really fear ?

Mostly considering the USA when I say this but shooting women or raping women because they won’t have sex with you…should tell you something about yourself.

That’s not exactly what happened …
Basically there used to be group ticket voting in the Senate, whereby you could just put a 1 in a party’s box and then the preferences went by the party’s choice. This enabled a kind of “preference lottery” between microparties that had weird results.

This was done away with.

It would still be possible for someone to be elected to the Senate on the basis of a very small primary vote but it would be very unlikely.

Note that now, Victoria is the only state in Australia that allows this group ticket voting above the line.

Well if there was a small number you could do it mentally but if we were talking about large numbers then some kind of record keeping mechanism would be recommended.

In this case, the results were from a survey but the original article that everyone is quoting has been taken down.

The Greens have blamed “backroom preference deals” and attacks from Labor for a disappointing showing in Victoria’s state election, as the party faced the prospect of seeing its party room cut in half when parliament returns.

I’m not sure what you mean. There wouldn’t be any real way to infer it solely from change in demand for animal products, since the amount of animal products being consumed by each non-vegan also changes with time.

Yeah, maybe I think retailers are collecting more information about us than they really are, but I would have thought a very large consumer database collection should be able to pinpoint the day, if not the hour, each person decided to become Vegan.

Swiss voters have rejected a proposal to give Swiss law precedence over international law and treaties, according to results coming in from a national referendum.
Figures based on partial results give 67% against and 33% in favour, national broadcaster SRF said.
Critics said the proposal would have damaged the country’s global standing.
A proposal to subsidise farmers who do not remove their cows’ horns has also been rejected.
The rejection of the sovereignty proposal is a major blow for the right-wing Swiss People’s Party (SVP), which put it forward, says the BBC’s Imogen Foulkes in Geneva.

Many TVP producers use hexane to separate soy fat from soy protein, and trace amounts of the solvent are left after manufacturing. But the few rodent studies that have been done suggest it would be almost impossible to get enough hexane from TVP to cause harm. Measured levels of residual hexane in TVP are around 20 parts per million; and rodent studies suggest that a dosage of 5g/kg is the minimum level where adverse effects were observed. As such, one would have to consume around 250 kilograms of TVP per kilogram of body weight to reach a toxic dose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textured_vegetable_protein

I hadn’t heard of Textured vegetable protein. As a meat extender, eg. in sausages, it would be excellent. “It is quick to cook, with a protein content comparable to certain meats”. Being defatted, it would be healthier than meat alone. “TVP is usually made from high (50%) soy protein, soy flour or concentrate, but can also be made from cotton seeds, wheat, and oats.”

Soy alone isn’t particularly palatable.

A quick look around suggests the “budget” versions may be bulked with soy protein. I have no idea about the fast food outlets. But I doubt Kermonds in Warrnambool bulk with soy and probably not our local fish and chips place.

I’ve worked in reatuarant kitchens. All sorts of stuff goes on when you’d least expect it.

Yes, I get that. Generally breadcrumbs for burger type stuff, I would have thought. I chuck some in myself, along with egg, in home made ones. It holds the meat together. It’s not an extender as such, it’s part of the chemistry of the dish.

Anyway, going to the bush now.

“Victorian election: What voters should expect from the Andrews Government’s next four years”- ABC News

To go by this report, the Vic Labor govt woud appear to not only have a plan in place, but would seem to be willing to implement it.

This could raise the expectations of the electorate to unrealistic levels. Have these people no idea at all of how the game of politics and government is played?

Good morning everybody.

21.6°C, 67% RH, and clear with a light air. Yesterday’s afternoon’s thick blue-grey fire haze has gone. Perhaps the wind direction has changed. Looks like it. The satellite image shows the local fires’ and Bundaberg-region fires’ smoke blowing northwards. ORB = 0. BoM predicts a top of 33°C, up from 16.8°C. No rain is predicted.

Looks like amazing stuff. I can think of plenty of people who should be carrying it.

Also, as part of learning about it, I learnt that osmolarity of the flushing solution is important. Saline solution is a lot better than plain water – A hyperosmolar solution is better again.

Good morning.

I’ve been shopping. Every year I donate a bag with goodies to Share The Dignity’s it’s in the bag Christmas campaign. You fill a handbag/tote/backpack with sanitary items, toiletries, non-food treats (this year I’ve put in a cute bangle) etc. I’ve added a book each, glitter gel pens, a notebook, lip balms, sunscreen, moisturiser. It’s a gift for a teen who would otherwise have a really shitty Christmas.

Portraying the Greens as pseudo-green socialist crap is certainly convenient for the major parties, particularly the Labs, but they don’t seem to be more socialist crap than they used to be to me. If anything less so.

Can you give some examples of current socialist crap policies?

The recent in-fighting doesn’t look good of course, but not particularly relevant to Victoria, is it?

“Visions of the 21st Century” is a speech delivered by Carl Sagan at the fiftieth anniversary celebration of the United Nations on October 24, 1995 (United Nations Day) in New York in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. In the introduction, Sagan discusses the human unity that is present in the world despite its vast human diversity. He points out that we as humans are all cousins that can be traced back through human ancestry in east Africa. The theme of Sagan’s speech promoted the importance of fostering a Global Community. This theme of Visions of the 21st Century represents the overarching theme of the U.N.‘s fiftieth anniversary celebration which was “We The Peoples of the United Nations…United for a Better World”. He stresses the importance of maintaining a healthy Global Environment, as changes in the global environment are a common threat to all of humanity. The change in the Global Environment he focuses on is climate change. He also elaborates on the great power that modern technology allows each to nation to possess. He praises the advances in medical technology of the world particularly. Yet, Sagan warns that the mix of technological power and ignorance has the potential to lead to disaster. Thus, this enormous power must be guarded against misuse. To do this, Sagan suggests that widespread knowledge of science and technology is beneficial. Sagan discusses the minuscule presence of the Earth within the vast scale of the cosmos, and how it is a delusion to believe we as humans are somehow elite in the universe. Sagan implores humanity to protect and cherish this earth that we know, as it is solely the responsibility of humanity alone.

I was in a wheelchair being wheeled through the hospital last Friday (apparently I couldn’t walk on my own, since I was a patient), and the path appeared to be quite labarynthine. I commented to the person (female, possibly mid-twenties) pushing the chair, “This place is a real labarynth, isn’t it?” She said, “What’s that?”
“You know, the labarynth on the Isle of Crete?”
“Where?”

I tried explaining a bit about ancient Greek mythology (including the labarynth, Minotaur, King Minos, etc), but she had absolutely. When I described the Minotaur, she said “I think I saw something like that on a TV show. Wasn’t it something to do with voodoo?” After some description of Greek mythology, she said, “They should make that stuff into TV shows.” Apparently her entire knowledge of mythology comes from watching Netflix.

I had similar conversations last week. More along the lines of “I’m glad you know your way around” and “I can see why they just get patients to sit in the chair and let someone else wheel them around”. We didn’t touch on Greco-Roman mythology.

Things have resiled somewhat for the Libs as the count has gone on and it now looks like they might win as many as 23 seats.

The moderate elements of the Liberal party are having a bit of a spewfest:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-11-26/victorian-election-wake-up-call/10554088


Victorian Liberal MP Tim Wilson is one of the new truth tellers. So is Victorian Liberal senator and Senate President Scott Ryan.

There are others too, who feel that while the next federal election looks all but lost — the extent of that loss must be stemmed now or the Liberal Party will face a generational wipe out.

Mr Wilson revealed he sat on polling booths on Saturday and, “Every second person either gave me deadly silence, a very cold, deadly silence, or there was people mentioning energy, climate or the deposing of the prime minister”.

“I think we can get past that, but I know the people who vote for me, I know them very well, and I can tell you they are not rusted-on conservatives and out there on the battle gates,” Mr Wilson said.

“They are a forward-looking, modern, liberal community and they sent us a message very clearly.”

Senator Ryan says Liberal voters don’t “litmus test” to see how conservative they are.

“A lot of Liberal voters, they’re fairly conservative in their own lives. They raise kids, they work hard, they run small businesses … but they’re pretty liberal in their political outlook,” he said.

“They don’t want views rammed down their throats. And they don’t want to ram their views down other people’s throats.”

On the Federal stage, this is the first day of minority government for the LNP as Phelps was sworn in. McGowan has introduced legislation to establish a federal crime and corruption watchdog, which is supported by the ALP, Greens, Wilkie, Phelps, and Sharkie: ie, by precisely half the parliament. I’d question the wisdom of the LNP blocking it. Is this really the hill they want to die on? “I regret I have but one life to give for the IPA.”

I asked about that, two reasons, one is yes you are a patient, the other is it’s easier and faster. Otherwise you have a situation of doctors time being wasted being paged asking if a patient is up for the walk and secondly is patients clogging the corridors asking for directions and being late for scans.

Don’t speak too soon.

I can think of one surgeon who’s a wizard with the knife, but who often, outside of the theatre, has only a vague idea of where he’s supposed to be, when, or why. Fortunately he has a good minder.

He’d probably think that a Minotaur was some kind of car.

Hello Holidayers. Been to the bush. Spent about 3 hours chopping down bracken along the front fence. Got a leech attach to the small of my back – must have been on a branch when I bent over. Discovered when I got out of the ute at Coleraine to go into the chocolate factory. Mr buffy noticed blood on the back of my t-shirt. So the leech got salted into the gutter. I’ll be back with wildflower photos shortly. I didn’t bother to photograph the leech.

The flashpoint between Russia and Ukraine over access from the Black Sea to the Sea of Azov is remarkable in that it did not flare up years ago.

And that’s because the pinch point between the Russian annexed Crimea and the “motherland” known as the Kerch Strait is so loaded with political and military pressures that it’s surprising the clash we have just witnessed hasn’t happened before now.

I’d just like to be able to walk the fenceline. The whole block is 133 acres, so there is a lot of fenceline. I think my ambition to have a clear fenceline is probably going to take up my entire retirement. Our block is covenanted bush. The fence is strung loosely to reduce the likelihood of macropods getting strung up in it. But we do need a fence to stop the dirt bikers and the rubbish dumpers.

I go along with a sheep’s skull too. Strange there is no predator damage, you would think foxes would make a B line for the carcass. Perhaps killed elsewhere and partial remains dumped there..

It has long been speculated that Trump has something to hide: his tax returns, his business dealings, his peculiar devotion to autocrats. Now all are about to be put under the microscope by Schiff and others.

There are also signs that Mueller’s investigation could be reaching a critical phase, with Trump having submitted written answers and reports that a fresh set of indictments centred around WikiLeaks and Roger Stone is imminent. Just because Trump is paranoid doesn’t mean that they aren’t out to get him.

Rick Tyler, a political analyst and Republican consultant, said: “Donald Trump seems like he’s worried about two things. First, he’s clearly worried about the Mueller report. If it was purely a question of ego and whether Russia helped him get elected, this is an overreaction. There’s something else going on.

“Second, if you analyse Saudi Arabia and the Khashoggi incident, what Trump says makes no sense. Saudi Arabia is not going to cancel contracts and only has a negligible impact on the cost of oil and gas. Yet Trump promoted the awful cover story. He’s hiding something. There’s something there. He’s not protecting the crown prince; he’s protecting himself.”

According to Gallup, Trump is the only president in the modern era whose job approval ratings have never been above 50%. Tyler said. “Say what you like about Donald Trump, he has real talents. But he has misused those talents. He could have struck a deal on a big infrastructure package, for example. But he retreated to his base, which only has the potential of shrinking. He keeps the base together by keeping them angry and humans can only stay angry for so long.”

Just to pluck that bit out, I am not sure that is true at all, as a swing producer it can set a price well below what other markets can provide and has done this many times, supporting the US against OPEC.

How do they wield such influence in the first place, and Sky News? I never bother to pay attention to any of them.

They are very powerful, they fought a campaign against the ban on dog racing in NSW in a by election and toppled a very high Nationals MP in a very safe seat that resulted in the NSW government dropping the ban.
That victory emboldened them to run a campaigh against the Turnbull government, it was a relentless campaign that eventually succeeded, Jones was even working the phones during the coup.
It’s getting to the stage where good and true Liberals need to stand and fight otherwise they will suffer the same fate as the ALP split in the 50’s that saw them out of government for more than a quarter of a century.

It’s getting to the stage where good and true Liberals need to stand and fight otherwise they will suffer the same fate as the ALP split in the 50’s that saw them out of government for more than a quarter of a century.

It might be too late.

Bring it on. WGAF, the next erection is looming.

I cannot speak for places like Queensland, but if Dutton was leader the wipeout in Victoria would make the weekend seem paltry. They’d be absolutely slaughtered.

Yeah, leading to a split in the party. RWNJs and fundies in one camp and sensible and reasonable politicians in the other. That way I can go to voting the former dead last and the latter first. Right there is a risk in voting for the moderate camp in that might not have enough power within their own party structure to hold the others at bay. I think a split has to come. It will be ugly, but it needs to happen.

Yeah, you have to wonder at the focus groups and internal process that led dutton and his supporters think that if they won thst would improve the electoral position.

Yeah, this is at the heart of the problem. A certain ideological way of thinking seems to be overriding reality. That if they can only get themselves into a position of power and implement that ideology then the country will love them for it, in spite of the polls and focus groups suggesting that is the last thing Australia wnats. Egged on by their own captive media in SkyNews and Bolt and Jones etc, they have become a bit of a self-perpetuating storm inside an echo chamber.

No the Liberal party will survive because it is a broad church where people with different views are acceptable and can argue their views without condemnation as long as they aren’t socially unacceptable, like Pauline Hanson’s who was kicked out by Howard.
Nothing can exemplify the difference between the ALP and the Liberal party more than the last Republican debate, the Liberals were divided on the issue 60% for a monarchy and 40% for a Republic.
The PM was a Monarchist the deputy leader was a Republican, the ALP were 100% for a Republic.
No one in the ALP would dare say they were a Monarchist, the retribution would have been swift.
And with the Liberal party you don’t have to be a member of a particular organisation to join, all are welcome from unionists to atheists to fundies to drovers to captains of industry to welders, they too all have their say.
Now while I may not vote for them at the next election, it’s not a mortal sin, it doesn’t detract from my support of their values and principles.

That was 20 years ago.

The situation now is that the church is too broad. The party of the twin traditions working together to defeat a common enemy is over. Now the two traditions are locked in a death struggle to gain complete control and extinguish the other.

No, it’s a truey.

I’m not the only one who thinks so, either. The Libs got rid of him partly because they didn’t like his style of government, which they felt was a bit Labor-ish.

Being a good pal of Paul Keating, a sometime business partner with him, and a staunch republican, Malcolm wanted to join the ALP, and run for a seat for them.He’d stood for Liberal pre-selection before that, but lost out. Not too fussy about which horse he rides, our Mal.

Unfortunately, the ALP rebelled against this idea, partly because they’d had enough of johnny-come-latelys displacing long-time members as candidates, and partly because they felt that the ALP already had enough millionaires in its ranks, thank you, and another wouldn’t help the image much at the time. No ALP for Malcolm.

So, rather than abandon the idea of politics altogether, Malcolm turned again to the arms of the Liberal Party, who thought he’d fit in well after all, and who found him a nice safe seat, and they didn’t mind another multi-millionaire in their ranks one tiny bit.

It’s all way back in the late 90s and then, but you can find the story if you want to dig for it.

Malcolm always had a field marshal’s baton in his knapsack, but few, especially Abbott, thought he’d ever mount a serious challenge for either the Lib leader job, or to be PM. Abbott was thus caught off-guard a couple of times by Mal, but Tony will be back.

good morning.

No, it’s a truey.

I’m not the only one who thinks so, either. The Libs got rid of him partly because they didn’t like his style of government, which they felt was a bit Labor-ish.

Being a good pal of Paul Keating, a sometime business partner with him, and a staunch republican, Malcolm wanted to join the ALP, and run for a seat for them.He’d stood for Liberal pre-selection before that, but lost out. Not too fussy about which horse he rides, our Mal.

Unfortunately, the ALP rebelled against this idea, partly because they’d had enough of johnny-come-latelys displacing long-time members as candidates, and partly because they felt that the ALP already had enough millionaires in its ranks, thank you, and another wouldn’t help the image much at the time. No ALP for Malcolm.

So, rather than abandon the idea of politics altogether, Malcolm turned again to the arms of the Liberal Party, who thought he’d fit in well after all, and who found him a nice safe seat, and they didn’t mind another multi-millionaire in their ranks one tiny bit.

It’s all way back in the late 90s and then, but you can find the story if you want to dig for it.

Malcolm always had a field marshal’s baton in his knapsack, but few, especially Abbott, thought he’d ever mount a serious challenge for either the Lib leader job, or to be PM. Abbott was thus caught off-guard a couple of times by Mal, but Tony will be back.

So that’s a no on MT preferring the ALP to the Libs then. The evidence shows he had no inclination either way and would happily go with whomever would take him.

good morning.

I’d say he’s no more left-wing than Peter Costello. They both however have a deep-seated antipithy to unions which would have precluded either of them fitting in in the ALP.

And today’s major job is chipping up some of the feijoa that I cut back the other day, and whatever else I can find that needs to be chipped. There is an area under the huge old gum and feijoa that will not grow grass. So it can become the chipping area and I’ll put a table there so we can sit under the tree in the hot weather.

I cannot speak for places like Queensland, but if Dutton was leader the wipeout in Victoria would make the weekend seem paltry. They’d be absolutely slaughtered.

Yeah, leading to a split in the party. RWNJs and fundies in one camp and sensible and reasonable politicians in the other. That way I can go to voting the former dead last and the latter first. Right there is a risk in voting for the moderate camp in that might not have enough power within their own party structure to hold the others at bay. I think a split has to come. It will be ugly, but it needs to happen.

No the Liberal party will survive because it is a broad church where people with different views are acceptable and can argue their views without condemnation as long as they aren’t socially unacceptable, like Pauline Hanson’s who was kicked out by Howard.
Nothing can exemplify the difference between the ALP and the Liberal party more than the last Republican debate, the Liberals were divided on the issue 60% for a monarchy and 40% for a Republic.
The PM was a Monarchist the deputy leader was a Republican, the ALP were 100% for a Republic.
No one in the ALP would dare say they were a Monarchist, the retribution would have been swift.
And with the Liberal party you don’t have to be a member of a particular organisation to join, all are welcome from unionists to atheists to fundies to drovers to captains of industry to welders, they too all have their say.
Now while I may not vote for them at the next election, it’s not a mortal sin, it doesn’t detract from my support of their values and principles.

I sense a subtle change of direction here…

Trump on climate change report: ‘I don’t believe it’

US President Donald Trump has cast doubt on a report by his own government warning of devastating effects from climate change.

Asked outside the White House about the findings that unchecked global warming would wreak havoc on the US economy, he said: “I don’t believe it.”

The report found that climate change will cost the US hundreds of billions of dollars annually and damage health.

Dunno, how prevalent is it?

I’m guessing anti-depressants would be on the list, perhaps blood pressure meds too. Contraceptive pills. Maybe antibiotics assuming large numbers of short term scripts for that. The rest I am not so sure, small numbers of long term things like epilepsy might make the list.

In China problems don’t exist unless government say so

It’s not a real problem until it has gone viral on WeChat and consequently suppressed by the government apparatus.

Funnily enough, I was watching some Youtube stuff the other night about Chinese efforts to stop creeping desertification and reduce sandstorms and all that. They seem to be making massive efforts in this area using low tech and cheap methods for mass effect. They seem to be making progress, but I guess there is still a ways to go yet.

Yeah. Holding back the Gobi Desert in Inner Mongolia.

Nice, if you find the youtube address let me know. I’d be very interested in what methods they use, eg. irrigation or porous fences.

Washing machine size. I’m beginning to think that rated size in kg means SFA, it’s just a measure of how tight the bearings are before they wear out. What is needed is drum volume in litres, which is never in the specification.

What an odd thing to say. Do you measure your car’s cabin volume in litres, or it’s carrying capacity (eg 5 people)? It’s the same type of thing. Your washing machine (robot) can process up the the kg capacity stated by the manufacturer. A 7 kg machine can wash (process) twice the weight of cloth than a 3.5 kg machine.

And what the washing capacity has to do with bearings, I cannot fathom.

Well, if I was washing a suit of chain mail, then weight would be the issue. But if I’m washing clothing and sheets, then volume is the deciding factor, not weight. If the drum size of a 3.5 and a 7 kg washing machine is the same, then the maximum amount I can wash is the same.

I think manufacturers are upping the weight without increasing the drum size.

> Has to do with bearings

The weight specification is based on the cut-off for an out of balance spin load. The better the bearings, the less vibration and the higher the cutoff can be.

You could weigh what you are putting in there. Apparently most of us underload (ref: Choice, sometime recently). Personally I like the fabric to be able to swoosh about in the water, especially when said fabric is dog rugs or very dirty clothes.

Yes. Mrs m insists on having the water level at the highest possible setting even if she’s just washing smalls.I hate that. When I’m washing I insist on using the smallest amount of water. But then she does about 7 loads of washing a week, and I do none, so I can’t complain.

Same! Mr Mutant fills up the machine til he can’t fit anything more in. I’m happy to do two loads, I just think the clothes are cleaned better.

My machine tells me when it needs a drum clean. Even though it will clean by itself, I add bicarbonate and vinegar to the mix to clean everything. The rubber seal around the door gets a bit mouldy (the one thing I dislike about my washing machine is that small things, like baby socks, get stuck in the rubber seal).

My latest washing machine (nearly 4 years old) works out the amount of water automatically somehow (I think it involves the torque imparted to the agitator). Washes very well.

Banksy gives a summary on her way to the crossbench.

“The gift of time and reflection has provided some clarity regarding the brutal blow against the leadership,” Ms Banks said.

“Led by members of the reactionary right wing, the coup was aided by many MPs trading their vote for a leadership change in exchange for their individual promotion, preselection endorsements or silence.

“Their actions were undeniably for themselves, for their position in the party, their power, their personal ambition – not for the Australian people who we represent, not for what people voted for in the 2016 election, not for stability. And disregarding that teamwork and stability delivers success.”

I can’t imagine how much sand would be blown into the house if we didn’t have trees covering the sand dunes here. There’s too much even with the trees.

I imagine blown sand is the bane of a nudist colony, makes people angry especially the women

It can turn people to the dark side.

You could weigh what you are putting in there. Apparently most of us underload (ref: Choice, sometime recently). Personally I like the fabric to be able to swoosh about in the water, especially when said fabric is dog rugs or very dirty clothes.

> Apparently most of us underload

Yes. Mrs m insists on having the water level at the highest possible setting even if she’s just washing smalls.I hate that. When I’m washing I insist on using the smallest amount of water. But then she does about 7 loads of washing a week, and I do none, so I can’t complain.

WTF are you doing with your clothes/beddings to require 8 loads a week?

Ahem… maybe it’s better if you don’t answer… :-P

Now Mr Spalding you do realise that you have made two erroneous posts, one after another.
The first one was just slovenly carelessness but in an effort to correct this you just compounded things by not paying further attention.
I’d like you to reflect on your sloppiness and bear in mind that Christmas bonuses will be decided upon shortly.

What an odd thing to say. Do you measure your car’s cabin volume in litres, or it’s carrying capacity (eg 5 people)? It’s the same type of thing. Your washing machine (robot) can process up the the kg capacity stated by the manufacturer. A 7 kg machine can wash (process) twice the weight of cloth than a 3.5 kg machine.

And what the washing capacity has to do with bearings, I cannot fathom.

thing is though, who weighs their dirty clothes before loading up the washing machine?

Who doesn’t?

My washing machine tells me how much weight has been put in…so I’m with sibeen…

‘Christmas bonuses’?

Never received a ‘Christmas bonus’ in my life, even when i worked for a bank.

First criterion for receiving a bonus is that your salary is already so large that you’ll not notice when you get one.

Martin points out that the ALP and crossbench now have the numbers to refer MPs (e.g. Dutton) to the High Court re parliamentary eligibility.

Even if Katter won’t help, and it is just ALP plus Wilkie, Banks, McGowan, Sharkie, Bandt, Phelps … that’s 75. The Government can probably only count on Katter, which also gets them to 75 but they lose one vote due to the speakership.

You used to get a sort of a bonus when at the end of the year the CO would award up to five day COs grant, the ERL. It was only very rarely withheld. By the letter of modern enterprise agreements that would have a value.

We do a towels wash (including any smalls of the right colour – we have some light towels and some dark towels and they fluff the other stuff), a sheets wash (including any smalls of the right colour, same situation as towels), usually a dark wash (Mr buffy can produce a load with two track pants or jeans and a couple of t-shirts), and often but not always a light wash. Then there are the dog rugs, towels off the floor at the back door, that sort of stuff. I suspect we average 5 full loads a week. Although we don’t use the absolute fullest filling setting as we discovered quickly when we bought this machine that it leaks if you use that setting.

Ahem… I am paying the Christmas bonuses this week. I can assure you, my staff will notice. And we are having a Christmas lunch at the Penshurst Pub next Sunday. We aren’t as many as we used to be…I only had to book for 6 this year. Years ago we did a barbecue at home and I catered for up to 35-40 people. Not all my staff. We were about a dozen with families (there were kids at that stage). We also fed the local speed camera operators and spouses/families and whichever local police could arrange to be “tasked South” on that afternoon. Probably looked like something really serious was happening in our little back street in Hawkesdale when the police cars were coming and going all afternoon.

Hopefully rain tonight, once it had gone crispy I don’t like doing it when it is straw dry which is just one hot day here, backs on to paddocks full of knee high grass and bush a couple of streets over to the right.

Just reread that, “something else planted” isn’t hinting at anything. I just sorted through my lunch box of seeds and there were four still suitable for planting. I did two each per bed and just forgot what the other one was, I think cucumber.

The other something else is well on the way.

Dutton is reviled by many but I don’t know I how that translates in his electorate. Many think Abbott is the antichrist but seems to be a popular local member of a very progressive electorate, highest percentage for the gay marriage..in contrast to the majority of seats which rejected it which are labor.

A political question for a change:

It seems to be common amongst the US Christian Right to characterise Obama as a socialist, and apparently this is really bad.

My question is, how do they deal with the fact that the guy who started their movement (Jesus Christ, I think his name was) was an extreme lefty, who frequently spoke up for the poor and disadvantaged, and had no time at all for the rich?

Matthew 20:1-16 New International Version (NIV)

The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard

20 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.

3 “About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4 He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’ 5 So they went.

“He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing. 6 About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’

7 “‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered.

“He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’

8 “When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’

9 “The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius. 10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. 12 ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’

13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? 14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

16 “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”

The general consensus is that he’s safe but if he does go down it might be the best way for him to hold his seat, every MP who was struck out retained their seat at the by-election.
The punters don’t like punced up blokes in gowns and wigs telling them who their MP should be.

Perhaps it is something like that. Protestant and Calvanist values are along the lines that God rewards those he has chosen. If wealth is seen as a blessing from God, therefore poverty is some kind of disfavour, i.e. either the poor deserve it or it is God’s will.

But you’re right that, historically, ALP and Liberals have been fairly similar politically, each trying to hover slightly to the left and right (respectively) of the mean-point of the Australian psyche. There are some issues on which they’ll always differ, though, such as the role of the unions.

The Libs have broken this mould a bit lately by trying to appeal to a “base” significantly off-centre. On the face of it, it’s not really working out for them.

But yeah it really does seem to be some fantasy version of Jesus. If they were followers of Jesus they’d dedicate their lives to helping the poor and giving shelter and aid to immigrants. Instead they are motivated by xenophobia and greed, and issues such as homosexuality (which Jesus never mentioned) and abortion (which Jesus never mentioned).

There were other Jews in the 1st century who were energised by ze gays and wrote on the topic, but Jesus (if the Bible is an indication) wasn’t one of them. He had other things on his mind.

The Church didn’t turn against abortion until the 18th century, even though it was a known practice since ancient times and the Book of Numerology appears to give abortion instructions. Textual analysis of the Bible indicates that people of that era considered life to start at birth.

Wasn’t there some hanky panky about pairing fairly recently. Labor might not be inclined to grant a pair.

There was.

the ALP will have to provide him with a pair, which means they will not be able to pass legislation in his absence.

and if the Libtards are so concerned then they have had plenty of time to reverse those. But they haven’t so they are no better.

Hehehehe, well no, they don’t reverse them cos they are Nazis…or fascist. Of course, in reality, and with the gift of perspective, the big parties are pretty similar and 99% of legislation sails though supported. Of course, thst doesn’t work with cognitive dissonance and social media where a lot of people, otherwise seemingly intelligent, seem to genuinely lose their shit.

Unions, climate change, taxation… these are big issues where the main two parties are diametrically opposed. Saying they are much of the muchness is a gross oversimplification of Australian politics.

And thinking they are Nazisor fascists isn’t? Puhleese, thats not even an oversimplification, it’s plain idiocy.

But yeah it really does seem to be some fantasy version of Jesus. If they were followers of Jesus they’d dedicate their lives to helping the poor and giving shelter and aid to immigrants. Instead they are motivated by xenophobia and greed, and issues such as homosexuality (which Jesus never mentioned) and abortion (which Jesus never mentioned).

There were other Jews in the 1st century who were energised by ze gays and wrote on the topic, but Jesus (if the Bible is an indication) wasn’t one of them. He had other things on his mind.

The Church didn’t turn against abortion until the 18th century, even though it was a known practice since ancient times and the Book of Numerology appears to give abortion instructions. Textual analysis of the Bible indicates that people of that era considered life to start at birth.

Book of Numerology, is that one of the apocrypha?

It’s the one where you ignore the words, and all the meaning is in the chapter, verse, and page numbers.

But you’re right that, historically, ALP and Liberals have been fairly similar politically, each trying to hover slightly to the left and right (respectively) of the mean-point of the Australian psyche. There are some issues on which they’ll always differ, though, such as the role of the unions.

The Libs have broken this mould a bit lately by trying to appeal to a “base” significantly off-centre. On the face of it, it’s not really working out for them.

What I’m suggesting is that giving the small pox vaccine to a child whose parents, grandparents and so on, all of whom suffered and survived bouts of small pox could pass on some immunity that the cut off from outsider North Sentinelese may lack?

ok you gassers, tonight I am finally doing a roasted cauliflower, because the kids asked for it.. it will probably still taste like warm soap, but for goodness sake, don’t tell bubblecar it’s on my menu

White sauce with cheese topping?

olive oil, garlic and Parmesan

I love cauliflower… it sounds delicious.

We’re having cheap arse Tuesday pizzas.

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has commended the “immigration policy” of a reclusive, pre-Neolithic tribe.

On Tuesday, Ms Hanson announced she would ask the Senate “to acknowledge the terrible impact immigration would have on the Sentinelese people”.

——-

“I for one will not be condemning the Sentinelese as racist for keeping their borders closed, nor will I condemn them for their lack of diversity,” Ms Hanson told SBS News.

well, post-neolithic if they have metal tools. Neolithic if they have stone tools. Not sure what pre-neolithics have, pointy sticks and bones I guess.

Very little is known about the North Sentinelese but it seems very unlikely that they would be in a position to smelt iron or even obtain the ore. However, various folks have brought gifts to the island over the last 200 years including some metalware items and it’s not impossible that they could fashion arrow heads from these.

Chau seems to have been a bit of a dingus so it is possible that the arrow head he identified was rock with a metallic sheen, or that he was simply lying about the encounter.

People trying to retrieve the body haven’t spotted it yet, so maybe the people who reported that they saw him killed were paid off by Chau, and he’s alive and well and this is some kind of insurance dodge.

Given their position, it seems highly likely to me that they would have had many contacts with other groups (other than the few European and recent Indian contacts) ever since their arrival on the island, whenever that was.

In other news, first Sheffield Shield match at the new Perth stadium today.

They have made a digital replica of the old scoreboard on the new video screen. Quaint, but it kinda defeats the purpose of having a big digital screen rather than an old manual scoreboard.

I’m currently cooking another simple pasta dish (spirals to be served with Italian anchovies, tomatoes, broccoli and spices).

Shopping later this week to buy lots of fresh veg, frozen veg, a few fish, eggs. And maybe a steak as a monthly treat.

Jolly good.

I’m only eating pasta atm to clear my last supplies, and also because there isn’t much other food until I go shopping.

There’ll be no pasta except as a rare treat after these spirals are cleared.

Been doing a nice arrangement of Copshawholme Fair and playing it on hammer dulcimer, rebec and cittern. I’ve worked out some pleasant harmonies that emphasise the melancholy waltz nature of the choon.

That sounds very positive. I gallery sat.I sold a bunch of other people’s work but that is okay because I have sold 16 prints so far and there is still a week to go. Henry and Sarah visited. Henry liked some of the prints of dogs and birds..but mostly he liked the gallery door.

I didn’t get to visit the bro-in-law in his last few months, but the feedback I was hearing was that he was weary of all the visits by so many people at that stage.

Pauline Hanson praises immigration policy of pre-Neolithic tribe who killed American missionary

Senator Hanson lodged notice of a formal motion, which was denied by the Senate, calling for it to “support the desire of the Sentinelese people to protect their culture and way of life”.

“I for one will not be condemning the Sentinelese as racist for keeping their borders closed, nor will I condemn them for their lack of diversity.

Nick McKim “It is rankly hypocritical for Senator Hanson to pretend to be sticking up for people like the North Sentinelese given her record victimising and degrading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia,” Greens senator Nick McKim said.

“I would also make the point this motion put forward by Senator Hanson is an attempt to exploit the North Sentinelese people for her own base political purposes, something the motion purports to stand against.”

Unfortunately pen and paper ain’t going to do the job, in this case.

Powerpoint. It does auto-save, but has a slightly unusual problem – If you move the main file without warning the software, links to any embedded media files break. Some of them will re-link if you move it back, but not properly. You have to tell it to take the files with it. I remember learning about it when I last needed it, 22 years ago.

There’s a lot to be said for pen and paper.

How about TN’s Imgur? :)

Unfortunately pen and paper ain’t going to do the job, in this case.

I don’t usually click on links unless I know what they are, so thank you for going first on that. Glad he didn’t need to control that rig – I don’t reckon he had any.

What are you using? Most of the things I use auto save

Powerpoint. It does auto-save, but has a slightly unusual problem – If you move the main file without warning the software, links to any embedded media files break. Some of them will re-link if you move it back, but not properly. You have to tell it to take the files with it. I remember learning about it when I last needed it, 22 years ago.

Ah yea, it’s easier to have the linked stuff uploaded/online…as long as you’ve got a net connection where the presso is.

More often than not, yeah. Even when it’s there, it’s slow, unstable, the signal is weak, you’re using a months worth of data, and nobody knows the password.

Good morning everybody.

Hot, humid overcast, breezy. 25.5°C, 92% RH. ORB = trace. BoM tells me it’s 28.1°C and 75% RH, up from 21.4°C. They predict 32°C and a reasonable chance of a little more rain today.

I ended up getting seven 250 ml tubs and one 500 ml tub of thick meaty stock made from the ham bone and 5 chicken carcasses yesterday. All nicely frozen now.

Three car keys.

One sets off the alarm every time it unlocks the car (a duplicate key).
One sometimes sets off the alarm when it unlocks the car (went through the wash).
One works.

Closing any door when the boot has been released but not opened locks the boot in a half open state.

Autolocking hasn’t been a problem lately.

The vehicle i usually drive, the ute, isn’t very sophisticated. No auto lock or pushbutton lock, just the key.

To avoid locking the key in, i made a lanyard that links the key to a belt loop on my daks. That way, i can’t get out of the vehicle and leave the key in the ignition. Nor can i lose the key while i’m out of the vehicle.

I’ve also inserted a cheap buzzer between the instrument light dimmer control, and the interior light switch on the door (which only earths when the door is open). If i open the door while the headlights/parking light are on, the buzzer sounds.

Wild and wooly here today. East coast lows are such fun.

Gosford has only had about 7mm according to the BoM.

I reckon the gauge has blown over.

Batten down the hatches and keep enjoying it.

Hot, humid and quite breezy here. 30°C and 71% RH. Small moderate storms nearby, but whether they’ll get here is outside my ability to predict.

And thanks for bringing to my early attention the storm we got on 12 October. Most useful, thanks.

No worries!
Another line of storm coming through…..rumbling…..
I’m orf.

I remember I used to follow wikileaks but then the vibe changed and it became obviously Anti-Democrat Pro-Republican and increasingly crappy. And then I unfollowed it. Whereas it had been about exposing crap in general it became pro Trump and anti Hillary. I think I caught onto this stuff as it happened and I wasn’t happy.

Quite noisy here at the moment and unfortunately it’s going to get noisier. Landlord is building a large shed or suchlike in the back yard of my previous house, whose back fence is one of my side fences. Agents called to warn me he’ll be dumping various materials in the back garden of this place and will probably pull down some of that fence to get it into the other place.

He does seem to have a talent for finding reasons to annoy me.

‘ Football club fakes player’s death to get game called off

Posted about an hour ago | Updated about an hour ago

An amateur Irish football club apologises for a “grave and unacceptable mistake” after it falsely reported that one of its players had died in a car crash, leaving the league chairman “absolutely dumbfounded”.’ – ABC News

What kind of a ploy is that?

The club would then either have to effectively retire the player from all future play, and ‘disappear’ him somehow, like a witness-protection programme, or else claim that he rose from the dead by some means.

I only hope the player’s wife and family were aware of the ruse too and didn’t get to hear any rumours about their loved one passing.

You seem to have very odd tenancy laws in Tasmania. You are actually renting the yard as well as the house. He should have to get permission to use the land.

We were at the beach when the dark clouds rolled in. I think the storm will just miss us but we left anyway. Wind has kicked up here at home but the sun is still shining brightly despite a few fumbles of thunder.

Off to NSW tomorrow for a wedding. Hoping the airport situation is sorted out by then.

The Barely-Domesticated Wolf is in the kennels for a few nights. The de luxe wing – air-conditioned, each ‘room’ with its own colour LED TV.

Nut used to being dogless – keep thinking i’ll have to take him out for a walk, make his dinner etc.

Former prime minister John Howard says the Liberal Party should not be worried about its trouncing at the hands of voters in centre-left Victoria – “the Massachusetts of Australia”.

ROFL.

Victoria is about 25% of Australia’s population. Massachusetts is about 2% of the USA’s.

…And the lights all went out in Massachusetts …

that might work. I’m looking for some pattern ideas. My Dad doesn’t notice the flyscreen and one day will walk straight into it. The sliding door has stickers but the flyscreen has nothing. I want to use masking tape and paint to put some image on it.

The Future of Robots Won’t Be Like ‘The Terminator’ — It’ll Probably Be Worse

Maxim Pozdorovkin, the director of The Truth About Killer Robots, is tricking us with the title of his new documentary. While the film, which aired last night on HBO and is available now on HBO Go and HBO Now, does show instances in which robots have recently accidentally caused the deaths of human beings, those incidents are merely attention-getting grabbers for what actually disturbs Pozdorovkin about our mechanized future.

Craig Kelly planning to quit the Liberal Party as government braces for more defections

Liberal MP Craig Kelly plans to run as an independent at the next election and is being urged to quit the party immediately, in the latest blow to unity inside the Morrison government.

Mr Kelly did not rule out leaving the Liberals before the election, but told Fairfax Media on Wednesday night he would not defect before Parliament rises for the year on December 6.

Former Liberal Party presidential candidate John Ruddick – a familiar face in the party’s right-wing – said he had counselled Mr Kelly to “bite the bullet now and run as an independent … 

Mr Ruddick told Fairfax Media the war engulfing the Coalition would worsen and was in “a whole different dimension” to the woes that afflicted Labor under Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard.

“This is a philosophical and structural war,” said Mr Ruddick, who is not presently a party member. “That’s why it’s going to only escalate post the two coming elections.”

Video Shows Exact Moment Border Agent Realised ‘Gender Reveal’ Party Bomb Was A Bad Idea

The Arizona border patrol agent who used a firearm to detonate explosives during a “gender reveal” party in April 2017, sparking a wildfire which eventually spread across 47,000 acres and caused $11 million in damage, pleaded guilty earlier this year to a misdemeanour and received a sentence of five years’ probation and an order to pay $304,018 in restitution. Now, courtesy of the Arizona Daily Star, we have footage of the exact moment that he realised this might not have been his smartest move.

I burn for you, I burn for
You and I are lovers
When night time folds around our bed
In peace we sleep entwined
And your love flows through me
Though an ocean soothes my head
I burn for you, I burn for
Stars will fall from dark skies
As ancient rocks are turning
Quiet fills the room
And your love flows through me
Though I lie here so still
I burn for you, I burn for you

Perhaps the Nepalese need to take a leaf out of the book of the Sentinelese.

Is converting people really Gods Way ?

Gods way is to leave people the way there are, not change them.

I dunno: the Amalekites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites might disagree with you about whether God has a ‘don’t touch’ policy.

to add to the forum foot woes, I have worn a pair of new boots in the zoo kitchen and now the skin on the superior medial side of my foot (plus the superior digit one and two ) is completely numb…. it’s just the skin but it’s a weird feeling…

the internet tells me it’s cancer (cancer is the answer to everything) but my question is: is it doctor worthy? there has been no change since yesterday afternoon when I took off the boots

The drummer was restrained. And that was good stuff. That takes control.

I didn’t think Jadyn was the star either. I watched her do Disturbeds version of Sounds of silence and it wasn’t great.

I wore too-tight shoes for a couple of hours and lost feeling in the same places you describe. Took 48 hours for the feeling to come back. I was doing massage and movement exercises to encourage the nerves to wake up.

Morning.

Another hot and sunny day, but not quite as hot as yesterday. And the wind has died down too.

I’m already about to lose my shit with someone. Mini Me is crying about not wanting to go to daycare, Mum is complaining about the event in a game we both play, and someone is not getting the message about what we do at open Mic. She wants to give an inspirational speech about becoming a published author and I’m trying to tell her that’s not what we do. I said, very politely, that at the first open Mic the authors spoke about their writing journey and our feedback was that people prefer to hear their works. “I agree with that,” she said. Yet she still wants to give her little speech. No!

Wonder how many other countries have reserve banks involved in such corruption?

“Myles Curtis, the CEO of one of these RBA companies, Securency International, has also been convicted (in late 2017) of one charge of conspiring with his employer and others to offer to bribe a foreign public official in order to obtain or retain business in Indonesia and Malaysia, and one charge of false accounting.

John Leckenby, the CEO of the other of these companies, Note Printing Australia, was one of four defendants whose criminal trials were permanently stayed earlier this month by the High Court of Australia.

Philip Lowe, the present governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, had the task yesterday of issuing the statement of contrition that his predecessor, Glenn Stevens, was not able to publish.”

So far.

One of the old school podiatrists at the hospital said it was the usual progression after losing the big toe to lose the rest in progression over a few years. Not really what I wanted to hear but at least she was blunt about it. Sometimes I like blunt people who tell you things. The young Asian guy who I normally see is a bit wishy-washy like that. She was different, been doing it for 20 years and seen it all. But I only got to see her once when the junior guy was busy.

But you’d think by now they’d have developed diabetes treatment that guards against losing toes and limbs.

ok.. I will wait. I gave it a massage this morning and found a very sore spot on the crest of the navicular.. so I suspect that whatever nerves run over that were crushed for a few hours… I hope the feeling returns

ok.. I will wait. I gave it a massage this morning and found a very sore spot on the crest of the navicular.. so I suspect that whatever nerves run over that were crushed for a few hours… I hope the feeling returns

I’d regard those boots with suspicion and some fear.

I think I can stretch them before I have to wear them again

Are they leather? I think I read something about wearing them in the shower to stretch ‘em…

Good morning everyone.

It’s much more comfortable today – lower temperature and much lower humidity. And the electricity is back on, so we can use the fans when needed – unlike yesterday.

27.5°C, 45% RH, and clear with breezes gusting to fresh. ORB = 7 mm, including hail. BoM predicts 32°C up from a low of 17.2°C and no rain.

To stretch and wear-in leather boots, I fill them with warm waterand let them sit for a few minutes. Then I put the thickest socks on (explorers or similar). I put the boots on, do them up tight and walk them until they are dry. After that they usually fit perfectly. Only on one pair of boots have I had to do that twice.

Looks like a fishing boat and they’re used to heavy seas. The snap was probably taken from shore and the hugest waves are foreground (or foresea) features, with the waves around the boat being big but more manageable.

You’re allowed to take your laptop as carry on. Just put it on the tray outside of the case as you go through security. Jetstar weigh your carry on, you’re only allowed 7 kilos.

His son Jock lives with him. Jock is a bit schizophrenic. Not wildly so. They don’t really get on. It is a bit Steptoe and son.

John has rejected any help until recently. The pub sends him a counter meal every night these days. John calls it his return on his investment.

Sampling now. Pleasing cherry and slightly spicy nose, fully answered by the mild fruity palate and dry, herby finish. Not much to it but luscious nonetheless. Recommended to PWM as a cheap and very cheerful pinot quaffer.

I et the ham roll for you. But it only had ham. And I et a bit of traditional fetta cheese. And a small chocolate iced doughnut. With sprinkles. I should go and get a glass of milk now.

His son Jock lives with him. Jock is a bit schizophrenic. Not wildly so. They don’t really get on. It is a bit Steptoe and son.

John has rejected any help until recently. The pub sends him a counter meal every night these days. John calls it his return on his investment.

Seems he’s more-or-less managing. Hopefully he’ll be happy to see you both.

I think Jock will also be happy to see me. I am his favourite relative so he says. Perhaps it is because I am crazy enough to understand him.

My family had a blue with the state government in Victoria over this. They were on a drive to get rid of street names with the same name. There was a small track named Kennedy Lane where my great great great grandfather had settled in about 1855 or thereabouts. The government wanted it changed because there were too many Kennedy St/Rd/Ln?dv etc. The neares one was something like 40 ks away. It still got changed.

Every second fucking thing in Perth is named after Marmion or Forrest but at least for the most part they don’t have two places with the exact same name within a km of each other. I mean Marmion drive will be next to Marmion lane and Marmion crescent but at least you won’t have Marmion street quite near another Marmion street. This Coode bloke better have been amazeballs.

You seem to get a lot, I had one the other day about an accident my car had been in a few years ago, I don’t own a car and when I said this they hung up. In hindsight I could have had some fun and done something along the lines of confessing to running down the owners of an Indian restaurant as the curry was too hot.

Sounds good. Looks like you’ll be hanging onto nine fine toes as long as you’re careful.

So far.

One of the old school podiatrists at the hospital said it was the usual progression after losing the big toe to lose the rest in progression over a few years. Not really what I wanted to hear but at least she was blunt about it. Sometimes I like blunt people who tell you things. The young Asian guy who I normally see is a bit wishy-washy like that. She was different, been doing it for 20 years and seen it all. But I only got to see her once when the junior guy was busy.

Stands to reason.

The UK government says its Brexit deal will hurt the economy
London (CNN Business)
It’s official: The British government’s plan for leaving the European Union will be bad for the economy.

The government published a report Wednesday that outlines the economic costs associated with a range of Brexit scenarios. The Bank of England followed later in the day with its own assessment.
The United Kingdom would be worse off under all scenarios studied by the government. Officials did not estimate the precise impact of the deal Prime Minister Theresa May has negotiated with the European Union, but even in the best case it too will mean a weaker economy than remaining in the bloc.
“It is true that the economy will be very slightly smaller, but if we do the deal in the way that the prime minister has set out and negotiated, that impact will be entirely manageable,” UK Treasury chief Philip Hammond told the BBC.
The official estimates underscore the harsh economic reality of Brexit: Under any scenario, leaving the European Union will make Britain poorer than staying in.
“If you look purely at the economics, remaining in the single market would give us an economic advantage,” Hammond said.

Up before day, and Cocke and I took a hackney coach appointed with four horses to take us up, and so carried us over London Bridge. But there, thinking of some business, I did ‘light at the foot of the bridge, and by helpe of a candle at a stall, where some payers were at work, I wrote a letter to Mr. Hater, and never knew so great an instance of the usefulness of carrying pen and ink and wax about one: so we, the way being very bad, to Nonesuch, and thence to Sir Robert Longs house; a fine place

Here’s a lesson for all of us in the wisdom of carrying a pen and ink and wax.

Yemen war: US Senate advances measure to end support for Saudi forces

The US Senate has advanced a measure to withdraw American support for a Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen.
In a blow to President Donald Trump, Senators voted 63-37 to take forward a motion on ending US support.

Saudi Arabia “All our bases don’t belong to you”

Trump must be upset, he can’t brag about trying to repress women’s rights even more than Saudi Arabia if they aren’t pals

Saudies are all metal poisouined from pollution from the oil

Bill to protect special counsels such as Robert Mueller blocked on the Senate floor again

A bill that would protect special counsels such as Robert Mueller was once again not allowed a vote on the Senate floor Wednesday.

Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona and Democratic Sens. Chris Coons of Delaware and Cory Booker of New Jersey attempted to force the vote by unanimous consent, but that meant it could be blocked by just one senator, as Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah did Wednesday.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has argued, as recently as Tuesday, that the bill is not necessary since he believes there is no indication President Donald Trump is moving to fire Mueller.

What you need to do with Mueller is to start halving his pay rate every week until it’s zero.
He’ll wrap it up then with an inconclusive handwaving statement saying that further investigation is needed at a later date going forward in the fullness of time. It will be a comprehensive document that will have something for everyone including gay working families and assumption seekers.

North America is now a net oil exporter, largely thanks to fracking and improved recovery. The US gets most of its oil from Canada and the Carib.

And Saudi Arabia just can’t influence the price like they used to: partly because they are no longer that big a share of production any more, and partly because they just straight can’t afford to.

Which is probably why the Senate Republicans are quite comfortable in threatening sanctions and reducing military aid for Saudi Arabia. They cut production? US rolls out more fracking: they’ve got plenty of room to expand. Over the last three years there have been some months where the US was the world’s biggest oil producer.

So if the Republicans are okay with dissing the Sauds, why isn’t Trump? He has extensive personal business dealings with the Kingdom and also has an intense admiration for authoritarianism.

I have a ‘group’ interview tomorrow for a uni based job and the dress code is ‘smart casual’… so I went to the store. To be fair to the lovely lady at David Jones, she was awesome and did an excellent job, but clothes shopping is not my thing and being in clothes shops confuses and irritates me…. but I came away $235 lighter and with a suitable outfit that will probably do.

what the heck is a group interview anyway? like a focus group where they ask you questions and you just answer them as you feel?

what the hell is up with today? we can put a cap on this one and be done…

I have a ‘group’ interview tomorrow for a uni based job and the dress code is ‘smart casual’… so I went to the store. To be fair to the lovely lady at David Jones, she was awesome and did an excellent job, but clothes shopping is not my thing and being in clothes shops confuses and irritates me…. but I came away $235 lighter and with a suitable outfit that will probably do.

what the heck is a group interview anyway? like a focus group where they ask you questions and you just answer them as you feel?

Yes, definitely something wrong with today, could be many reasons, larger number of neutrinos from the sun, more comic rays from the universe somewhere, some other exotic influence we don’t know about.

Normality should return by tomorrow.

Nah, it’s a bunch of interviewees. I’d assume they’d say ‘panel’ in there was one, which is way weirder anyway as panels these days seem to cnosist of 5 people.

In front of a packed gallery, the Glamorgan Spring Bay Council has voted in support of the controversial Cambria Green tourism development.
Key points:

The new Glamorgan Spring Bay Council votes to back controversial development Cambria Green New Mayor Debbie Wisby voted against the project but now has to represent her council’s position The development proposal now goes to the Tasmanian Planning Commission for consideration

It was a tense first meeting for the newly elected council, but with its backing, the development will now go to the Tasmanian Planning Commission (TPC).

Cambria Green, a huge project proposed to be built at Dolphin Sands on Tasmania’s east coast, has been controversial since it was first announced in April.

The vision of its Chinese and Australian investors is for 70 villas, 240 units and a 120-room luxury hotel built on 3,185 hectares, not to mention a golf course and a crematorium.

Fully occupied, the population of the proposed “eco-resort” would dwarf the population of nearby Swansea.

——

Basically it is a tourist resort for dying Chinese people where they spend the last days being able to breathe air and then they put them in a box and send them home.

Doesn’t sound like it will disturb the peace and quiet of nearby Swansea. They’ll hardly notice it is there.

I cannot see how a group of elderly, dying chinese could change that vibe. It may even enhance it.

Having lots of Chinese about is probably more an 1870s vibe.

Just had a bit of a discussion with my daughter about whether or not drinking alcohol in a park is legal. She almost had me convince that it is, as apparently “everyone does it”.

But sure enough it’s a $2000 fine.

While living in California and working for a company specializing in analyzing EMF Interference we started getting calls from people of all walks of life complaining of Gang Stalking and Electronic Harassment. After witnessing crews operating in broad daylight using Hand Held Satellite Up link Dish Antennas and pointed at the customers homes, we knew some Government Agency was involved. We found on multiple test sites frequencies in the UV Lightwave Spectrum that was reinforced by odd light patterns in customers typical family photos. Orbs, beams of burned Ionized Air previously dismissed as camera Straps. I believe the best evidence of this harassment may already be in victims possession in their family and Home Photos. The common frequency we found is CPL Circularly Polarized Lightwave very easily captured on film or with a digital Camera.

Circularly Polarized Lightwave is a frequency I well advise people to avoid, and I speak as an electrical engineer of over 35 years experience.

these people are TIs, Targeted Individuals. People who are the victims of electronic harassment. I don’t watch the videos just read the comments.

I started to have a lot of mocus at the same time I started to “feel weird” (obscure-dark, turned-off), a few month before I discovered I was a T.I, and then that I have a fongus infection (because since the “mocus” started coming, it never stoped), it all went straight down when I moved to my father’s house and he used to work with the government, thanks love that I found out what was happening to me because it was driving me crazy..

This is just like RCR Tomlinson who recently went belly up in a big way. Hopefully in this case some of the directors will be going on extended holidays where the room service is rather dire. Building multi million dollar solar installations and they ‘forget’ to contact AEMO and the local DNSP and ask whether they can maybe, just perhaps, throw a few hundred megawatts of power onto the grid, and maybe you may want a say in some sort of protection scheme.

I’m not privy to anything associated with this light rail job, but for an engineering company to claim ‘we were blind’ on the power requirements for this sort of project just screams incompetence at the senior managerial levels.

whilst sitting with one of my daughers the other day….I had an idea about roof tiles.

My idea was to produce tiles that have insulation incorporated into the tile itself as a layer to remove the need to put insulation bats into new dwellings and potentionally existing dwellings. A colleague at work suggested making the insulation layer adaptable to sprayed onto corrugated sheeting as well.

My suggestion was to make the coating fire retardant , insulative , and to reduce vibration to roof tiles when struck to reduce the risk of roof tiles cracking when hit from flying debris during storm periods or falling objects generally. The not breaking easily thing though may create a secondary risk if the tiles become airborne during cyclones for example.

If you insulate the underneath of the roof tile successfully from external temps , will the roof cavity temp be adequate to reduce overheating and cooling of the dwelling below the ceiling level?

In some eschatologies they herald the end times. Just saying.

Ooo, reading that back I may have caused some confusion. Go ahead and cook your rhubarb, as far as I know there are no eschatologies where the cooking of rhubarb heralds the end times.

you may get kidney stones though as KJW suggested to me once or twice , considering there are oxalates in rhubarb which may accumulate in the body as calcium stone thingies.

I know nothing of these things but it might trap heat in the house that would otherwise radiate away at night. Which would be good in winter but not so good in summer.

>I took a trolleybus out to the delightful Riga Motor Museum. This hosts a fine collection of historic vehicles, but most famous is their exhibit of classic Kremlin cars, acquired back when Latvia was still an SSR.

Their finest piece is probably the preserved wreckage of Leonid Brezhnev’s beloved Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. (Apparently there was a sad lack of Rolls Royce repair shops in Soviet Moscow.) Brezhnev had a passion for high end cars, typically gifts from foreign governments, and for driving them at speed. In 1980 he disastrously pranged the Rolls Royce. The exhibit has a touching reconstruction, including an authentically equipped Soviet motorcycle cop and an authentically wooden-looking Brezhnev.

Good morning everybody.

Very warm and very humid (again). 26.7°C, 65% RH, and clear with light breezes. ORB = 0. BoM predicts it will get to 29°C, from a low of 20.1°C, and that there’s a 20% chance of rain during the day. I don’t know where the rain’s going to come from as there is almost no cloud on the satellite image.

Tinnanbar fire seems to have been brought under control now. Another has started at Bullock Point, just a few km north of us last night. I’d better keep an eye on that throughout the day. My fire plan is to abandon everything and go sit in the ocean.

They seem to be gearing up to switch their allegiance from the President to the United States. It’s possible they were just waiting for the midterms, but they lately they’ve had several articles that just seem like stuff a real human being might think or say.

Today, three of their four banner pieces reflect poorly on the President.

Not really. Howard actually kept the more radical of them in check for 8 years because he knew their ideas would be unpopular with the electorate. It was only in his last term when they had control of the Senate that the party pushed through WorkChoices that things started going that way, and that’s when they lost power.

People tend to forget that what we’re now describing as “hard right” actually typified the Howard government, which was in power for 11 years.

Not really. Howard actually kept the more radical of them in check for 8 years because he knew their ideas would be unpopular with the electorate. It was only in his last term when they had control of the Senate that the party pushed through WorkChoices that things started going that way, and that’s when they lost power.

I think you’re mischaracterising Howard. The hard right of the current Liberals are all staunch Howardites, and he backs them.

I don’t think so. In his time in office he was always a bit of an old fuddy-duddy with regards to progressive social ideas, but economically he wasn’t as radical as you seem to think. I think the current crop are far further to the right than he was in his time in office, I think Howard had a sense of pragmatism that overrode ideology if he thought ideology would go down badly in the electorate.

He played down divisions between “conservative” and “economic liberal” because he was himself a classic conservative. As are the “hard right” of the current Liberals.

To this day, he’s trying to convince people that the hard right are the True Liberals:

“The one thing we mustn’t do is to allow our political enemies and commentators to start describing people specifically as a classical liberal or a conservative,” he told the ABC’s 730 program on Tuesday night.

“Some people have fallen for that on both sides … you don’t want any of that.”

Quite right too.

If people start telling the truth, you never know where it might end.

On a related note, have US Repubs always used “liberal” as a term of abuse, meaning pretty much the same as “socialist”, or is that a new development?

I thought he was always that way inclined. Seemed to be so in the late 1960s to late 1970s anyway.

Good question. US conservatives usually describe themselves as “freedom loving”, i.e., liberal. But they sure do hate them liberals.

downside to it all is money (objective of wealth creation, growing personal wealth mostly) has tended to dominate the culture, so you know you scratch the surface and you find something like Herbert Spencer. Though just one idea of, Herbert perhaps wasn’t that shallow,
and some systems theory didn’t frighten him.

I think John Howard in office and John Howard in one TV interview last night might be slightly different things. I’m sure he doesn’t want to see the party split and is trying to hose things down. I see a split as inevitable, and I look forward to it.

Finding her name ridiculous and ridiculing the child are two completely different things.

a sound defense would be the name is substantially ridiculous, and likely to make a typical person laugh, if not overtly then otherwise.

strange thing is it probably only sounds silly to English (or English-only) speaking people.

on a more general note, English sounds weird anyway, if you start thinking about what you’re doing with your tongue etc, to modulate the air flow, and the truth of English grunts perhaps aren’t fully appreciated until you stop moving your lips, try talking like a ventriloquist.

the letter b for example, that’s a wanna-be-ventriloquist’s nightmare.

on a more serious note, out there in the aether, the potentials-of-adverse-attention-space, everyone living wants you to have a name, before you are born, so they can yell it across the street, accompanied by whatever suggestion, so that you might turn and look and be automatically guilty.

Willow is reasonably popular round my parts. Mostly girl/woman.

Takes courage to have a name like that

Willow Darling is one Willow I know.

Have you basically given up on your telescope? You never seem to use it.

And in the Good News department. Some months ago a patient of mine who is in her 80s told me she had her father’s collection of orchid specimens and she didn’t really know what to do with them. He had sent samples to the Melbourne Herbarium over the years and was a learned collector. I suggested she contact the Botanic Gardens, or a local orchid enthusiast that I know. Today she brought me in the effusive thank you letter from the Herbarium. They were very, very pleased to have samples from the 1940s with full details of when and where collected.

I’m not saying which one.

I knew a woman named Female (pronounced fi-marl-e). She was an intelligent woman, and had to put up with too much crap over her name, though we (she and I) joked about it. Joking about her name was OK with her — she joined in. Using her name to make fun of her was not OK.

A friend named his daughter Phryne (look it up.)

Miss Fisher?

You could take note of the incoming and outgoing server details and remove the account and reinstall it and enter those details in again.
I find the auto set ups doesn’t always work properly and you have to manually change some of the server information.

We of the Douglas name have no great interest in shovels.

Although we do find that people rarely get our jokes.

My father wanted to call my brother Douglas. My mother wanted him called Andrew, A compromise was reached where he would be named Andrew Douglas McDowall but would be called Douglas by the family.

Dad called him Douglas for the first six months. Mum called him ‘the baby.’

She eventually got her way and everyone started calling him Andrew.

And then everyone started calling him Andy or Drew. And that annoyed my mother more.

My father wanted me to be Roslin. Mum didn’t like that spelling. So I became Roslyn. Whenever anyone called me Ros she would get angry. But when people called me Ros it was usually friendly. That is why I call myself Ros these days.

Once I called my sister Alison Al. The shit flew.

My mother Audrey. She had no problems with the grandchildren calling her Grandma Audie.

I mean there are a few ways it could happen but I think probably the flaming bus will keep trundling along until 2020.

I mean if the Mueller report indicates that DJT was directly involved in a conspiracy against the United States, then yeah, quite a few Republicans would be on board with impeachment and it would go ahead.

As it is, it is already known that he’s guilty of obstruction of justice, breaking the campaign finance law, and is in breach of the emolument clause of the constitution. If the Mueller report just fills in more details on those issues, then Republicans will feel they can ride it out, and Democrats will feel that they would be punished if they unilaterally impeached him. They might reason that they can limit the damage he can do now they control the House, and they’ll just sit tight until the 2020 elections.

That was in a different era. There was much less tendency among Republicans to defend the president. Should be noted that the Supreme Court Chief Justice that oversaw the United States v. Nixon case (which in effect ordered Nixon to hand over the White House tapes and other documents) was Warren E. Burger, a Republican whom Nixon himself had nominated.

I had never heard of a Rube Goldberg Machine before. So I looked it up. Heath-Robinsonian is a related term. I read that Bruce Petty is considered the Australian version. I did a workshop with Bruce Petty during the Vietnam War Protest era.

Thanks for reviving the memories.

No such offers were forthcoming when we were humming with a large staff and he used to fuck off to St Moritz with his latest trophy wife on skiing holidays and leave me to run the show.

He’s an honest man though who grew up dirt poor in the coal valleys of Wales, the work ethic is strong in him, he’ll work till he drops.

Federal Resources Minister Matt Canavan said the child protesters were only going to learn how to join the dole queue.

Mr Canavan said he wants kids in school learning about how to build mines, do geology and how to drill for oil and gas “which is one of the most remarkable science exploits in the world”.

“These are the type of things that excite young children and we should be great at as a nation,” he told 2GB on Friday.

“Taking off school and protesting? You don’t learn anything from that.

“The best thing you’ll learn about going to a protest is how to join the dole queue. Because that’s what your future life will look like, up in a line asking for a handout, not actually taking charge for your life and getting a real job.”

Up there with “Adani, the little Aussie battler”.

yep, he doesn’t seem to realise that it is the end of the school year, exams over for most i presume, and winding down to the holidays. not much learning going on. plus this is a lesson in democracy and critical thinking and it is their future.

I’ve been at a quite few protests in my time. Never ever been on the dole. And trained and worked as a geologist.

Care to respond, Mr Canavan?

He’s not due back at work until February.

The pressure builds.
Latest email from the boss is an offer of an Associate Directorship with company dividends and bonuses.
No such offers were forthcoming when we were humming with a large staff and he used to fuck off to St Moritz with his latest trophy wife on skiing holidays and leave me to run the show.

He’s an honest man though who grew up dirt poor in the coal valleys of Wales, the work ethic is strong in him, he’ll work till he drops.
PWM on the other hand has had enough, I’ll try and tell him again tomorrow when I’m sober.

Sign up, pay yourself the ‘PWM why didn’t I see this shit earlier’ bonus straight away, then retire to the redoubt…

I saw three kids on the train today, with their signs. They looked only about 15-ish. They looked like perfectly normal kids, well dressed and well spoken, not the sort that would end up on a the dole queue.

I don’t like kids doing political protests generally speaking. Especially young kids being roped in by their parents. Teens on the verge of being old enough to vote perhaps, but not so young as they don’t understand the issue.

Federal Resources Minister Matt Canavan said the child protesters were only going to learn how to join the dole queue.

Mr Canavan said he wants kids in school learning about how to build mines, do geology and how to drill for oil and gas “which is one of the most remarkable science exploits in the world”.

“These are the type of things that excite young children and we should be great at as a nation,” he told 2GB on Friday.

“Taking off school and protesting? You don’t learn anything from that.

“The best thing you’ll learn about going to a protest is how to join the dole queue. Because that’s what your future life will look like, up in a line asking for a handout, not actually taking charge for your life and getting a real job.”

https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/national/2018/11/30/student-protest-climate-change/

kids don’t learn that stuff in school, they learn it after they leave in yr ten and do fifo for a big mining company and make a shit load of money…

But we aren’t English. My lot came here in the 1860s, so we definitely are not English and haven’t been for a long time. Mr buffy’s lot have been here since the 1830s and they have breakfast, lunch and tea. If you go out for the evening meal, you might call it going out for dinner. Depending on where you were going. Dinner is really only for very formal meals.

A child’s body has been found by Sunshine Coast road workers after it was left on the side of the road by a funeral home employee.

The infant’s body was being transferred from Rockhampton to Brisbane in a funeral car.

During a driver change, the infant’s body was put on the car’s roof and was reportedly forgotten so when the car drove off once again, the body fell off and was left behind.

The body was not discovered missing until the vehicle arrived at the morgue.

The child’s family have been informed of the incident and do not wish to release any more information.

There would be “tea” (afternoon tea) and supper as well, for those wanting such refreshments.

What he means is that it seems odd having breakfast, lunch & tea.

There was an English working class tradition of breakfast, dinner and tea. While the middle class had breakfast, lunch and dinner.

So generally you’d have dinner at some stage.

Only three meals a day?!?

There would be “tea” (afternoon tea) and supper as well, for those wanting such refreshments.

For the ‘more portly’ Tasmanian gentleman.

A child’s body has been found by Sunshine Coast road workers after it was left on the side of the road by a funeral home employee.

The infant’s body was being transferred from Rockhampton to Brisbane in a funeral car.

During a driver change, the infant’s body was put on the car’s roof and was reportedly forgotten so when the car drove off once again, the body fell off and was left behind.

The body was not discovered missing until the vehicle arrived at the morgue.

The child’s family have been informed of the incident and do not wish to release any more information.

It’s a weird world we live in.

I left my transistor radio on the roof of my mother’s FJ Holden in 1966. (I had purchased it in Aden for 2 pounds 14 and sixpence.) She went to work. I thought I had lost my little symbol of personal wealth forever. When she returned, it was still on the roof of her car, still playing 2UW.

I learnt my lesson, and put it on the floor of the garage from then on. A few weeks later, she drove over it…

I did repair it though. The printed circuit board was the difficult bit to repair.

And Christmas Tea is leftovers that evening, if anyone wants to eat any more. The midday meal alternated between our place and my uncle and aunts. And then we went to the other one with the leftovers for tea.

Sent iinet this email earlier today after receiving no reply to my previous email complaint:

My main email address no longer functions. When I open my email reader I get “Authentication Failed” message for that address. I have changed no settings so I don’t know what’s causing it. I need this email address back in action.

Also, my internet is very slow. Since moving from my previous house the internet is the slowest it has been since the days of dial-up.

After ten years of iinet I’m wondering if it’s time to change my ISP.

>“Authentication Failed” message for that address

check the receive address in the whatever you use for email, make sure you haven’t caught something, that it’s been changed.

You could take note of the incoming and outgoing server details and remove the account and reinstall it and enter those details in again.
I find the auto set ups doesn’t always work properly and you have to manually change some of the server information.

login via mail webpage, could try that

When luncheon (which incidentally is where we get things like luncheon meat) became the midday meal, dinner was moved to the evening meal, and tea (the meal) was dropped.

I had an espresso martini at lunch today, so I am well awake now.

I have been having a coffee free week.. the first couple of days I got a slight headache mid-afternoon, but the last few have been fine… although I screwed that up today.. no headache though :)(that’ll likely come tomorrow)

Nah, an old mate from New Zealand. Plus maybe one or two others who used to hang out with at the same time. He’s been here all week catching up with his family. Haven’t seen him for about 5 years.

Did you check/stretch your sciatic nerve? I have a set of stretches I do most mornings of the week so I retain contact with touch in my little toe of my right foot. I looked it up, and it can also affect big toes. I can’t remember which side of your foot you mentioned.

You don’t have to eat a lot. Or I don’t. I keep a packet of choc bits (dark, of course) in my desk drawer and eat 3 or 4 periodically through the day. At home I have chocolate licorice bullets and I eat a couple several times during the day when I’m home. Hmm…just remembered we forgot to eat our half a mint stick each tonight. Doesn’t matter.

I’m a cyclist, and I’ve found that I press the first mecarpal/phalange joint on my right hand on the handlebars quite hard. For the last couple of years the thumb side of my index finger is numb — but only on that side. The doktard doesn’t seem worried — but then, it’s not his hand.

Julie Bishop has a new hair cut. Just saying.

I do wish the labor party wasn’t being so awful. I mean they aren’t being as awful. but they are hardly being inspiring.

How is the Labor party being awful? I’m really asking here.

I really have no idea what they stand for at the moment. Shorten is playing the political game well. The Libs are ripping themselves apart so he’s decided to stand back, admire the view, and say SFA.

They are voting alongside the govt on everything as far as I can see. Except perhaps for an ICAC. We’ll see.

I didn’t get as much done today as I thought I would. I will try harder tomorrow. I’ve written a list. It is long. I have a small workshop happening on Sunday.

I might lie down and see if I can sleep.
