Hello

Hooray! DA has started the November thread!

These breakfast biscuits are pretty good, although you’re clearly supposed to dip them into milk or coffee as they’re quite dry.

Morning punters and correctors., a bit overcast and warm in the Pearl of the South Specific this morning.

According to Isser (2010), Matthew probably unified several speeches into the Sermon on the Mount while Nolland (2004) asserts the gospel is a “manual for discipleship”. Jesus spoke with authority as he held all three points necessary for a persuasive speech (Dainton 2015) and the new laws brought in by Jesus and the burgeoning religion of Christianity didn’t contradict Jewish or Pharisee law, so his audience were more receptive to Jesus’ teachings.

Goodos are a bit softer.

The Sacred Stone Camp, one of the primary organizers of the Dakota protesters who are on the site, told Ars in a statement:

There is no solid line between “organizers” and others—this is a movement, not an organization. There are many camps and points of contact, we can only verify that it did not originate from the Sacred Stone Camp FB page. We support the tactic, and think it is a great way to express solidarity. The copy and paste technique has created a unique way of generating numbers of support—it’s more impactful to see thousands of our friends take the time to create a unique status update.

The crowdsourcing goal was modest: $5,000 US, enough to help a few dozen people camping in North Dakota to protest the nearby construction of the four-state Dakota Access oil pipeline. The fund has since topped a staggering $1 million US.

The fund is among several cash streams that have provided at least $3 million US to help with legal costs, food and other supplies to those opposing the nearly 1,900 kilometre pipeline. It may also give protesters the ability to prolong their months-long encampments that have attracted thousands of supporters, as the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe pursues the fight in court.

Arrrgh! I’ve run out of milk so no more coffee until I go to town.

If anyone’s interested, I’m writing a novel this month. See http://nanowrimo.org/participants/jabber-wocky/novels/the-novel-with-no-name-1093924/ for (a lack of) details.

“While it is true that law enforcement can and does comb public social media posts during protests, it’s not clear what effect this would have when officers could simply go to the Standing Rock site and arrest people in person.”

That’s what was confusing me about why people were checking into Standing Rock.

Buschka, being a lot bigger than Long, puts her foot on him until he sits and then holds him there, when he is annoying her.

Anyway, I have just wasted more time with Loca, so time to go outside and do some work.

Good to see the grubs selling out the country for self interest and personal gain…

“Robb’s consultancy was reportedly announced by the Landbridge Group on 2 September, two months after the 2 July election at which Robb retired as MP for Goldstein. Robb retired as trade minister in February 2016.”

British novelist Sir Salman Rushdie has written a damning summary of Donald Trump’s alleged crimes, including “child rape”, in a bid to offer some much-needed perspective into the FBI’s latest investigation into emails possibly linked to Hillary Clinton.

In a Facebook post written on Sunday, Rushdie said that Trump was due to “go on trial in November accused of racketeering and again in December accused of child rape”.

After listing a variety of accusations levelled at the Republican presidential candidate, Rushdie concludes: “Oh, but let’s talk about some emails Hillary didn’t send from someone else’s computer, that weren’t a crime anyway, because that’s how to choose a president.

“Come on, America. Focus.”

The Tasmanian Government has defended its regulation of the salmon industry following a warning that poor management could lead to an “environmental disaster”.

they were dropping 1080 long before that to protect forestry plantations from vermin.(Robin Gray language)

The plantations were all E.nitens and selected for their own resistance to predator browsing. Like any monoculture it could be the monoculture at fault.

And then there is the crap they aerialspray on plantations. We are still using atrazine and the like.

1080 is bad. But I think we are using badder stuff.

As an aside Forestry made another loss this year and passed a whole heap of debt in the super across to the state govt. Forestry is fixing this by 1. Changing their name and 2. Logging on a faster rotation in coupes they had put aside.

Dutch King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima in Perth, set to unveil Dirk Hartog dish

I have handled the original. It was in the bowels of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam in 1965, not on display when we visited. My father insisted that we had come all the way from Australia to see the plate and that we should be allowed. Amazingly, the museum’s curator acquiesced. The plate is surprisingly small and heavy.

I wonder if the order in which the horses enter the Barrier gates has an effect on the results. Too early and muscles would tend to freeze up.

The submission and statistics pages have vanished from the Aussie Bird Count website.

That happened last year, too. So I expected it.

It makes perfect sense to remove the submissions page, but why the heck remove the zoomable map pf Australia showing all the bird locations? That makes no sense at all.

Which is why I look some precautions. I copied all unusual bird species in the 40 postcodes of SE Melbourne into a spreadsheet. That showed that the only bird in more than three postcodes that I missed was the king parrot, 12 postcodes. So I scoured the map for king parrot locations – startlingly few of them, and copied down street locations. At most two per postcode, sometimes none in postcodes that were supposed to have them (Bentleigh, Wheelers Hill and Rowville), never two near one another. 12 locations in all. Gives me something to search for.

I totally agree. If the people who paid for the advertising were forced to watch their own ads then they’d never pay for that advertising in the first place.

I was watching TV ads in the USA when I was over there. They’ve gone the low quality inoffensive route that can be summed up in a single word “corn”. Fields of corn as far as the eye can see.

The ONE reason that Google succeeded while many other search engines failed is that Google when it first appeared NEVER allowed any advertising on its search page. Before Google appeared, all the popular search engines including Yahoo and Hotbot were running porn video advertisements on their search pages. Even now, Google survives because it strictly limits how much advertising it allows on its search page.

no, HACC has two camrys, a tarago, a little suzuki, a holden berlina and a minibus. so i get a camry or the tarago, depending on the mobility of the client. the berlina is for perth runs as it is ours in a different way to the others being ours. it was donated to donnybrook by the bendigo bank rather than to HACC. it is “allowed” out of the local area. using HACC cars for perth meant changing cars at bunbury. a PITA.

If there is a problem with that arrangement, it could mean that Mr Day’s election was invalid.

yes, most ads are horrible to listen to

I stopped watching TV for that reason and others

I cannot listen to commercial ads on the radio either ,same reason, they sound horrible

If an ads yells at me, I turn it off

The simple solution to the problem of improving the quality of the web while at the same time getting more funding for the web is to increase the price of web ads. By a factor of ten would be a good start.

I got the distinct impression that tiny little bird out there in the garden wanted me to go to somewhere else. I thought it was a moth flying around, then it sat there staring at me from a log. Then it flitted away. I’m not good at the little brown birds. I think it was a thornbill of some sort.

hmm peoples attention space is expensive on the Internet so yes Good Quality Ads would be of great value and benefit

I have a number of browsers and profiles I use for different reasons

IE for general stuff
Firfox with AD blocker
Firefox without Ad blocker
Firfox with Dont follow, third party security program looking for threats

ad blocker for firefox can be edited to include exclude white lists blacklists etc

The other day this man got on the bus and sat right next to a lady there were a lot of seats but he likes that seat he said. The lady moved to another seat.

If the bus was full and the only way people could be seated was to double up then she would have been okay (I imagine).

Quick survey.

I’ve come to the conclusion, thinking about my family, mrs m’s family, and other families I know, that parents never approve of their daughter’s choice of partner.

So the quick survey is:

. If you have one of more daughters, on a scale of 0 to 10, how would you rate your daughter’s partner?

. What did your or your wife’s parents think of your husband or you?

. Can you think of any examples from the current generation where parents do / don’t approve of their daughter’s partner?

Apparently fathers have a bit to do with how daughters will match up in relationships. Food for thought.

My mother in law had told my future wife that she would end up marrying me. She told her this about 5 years before we started dating

As a birder friend of mine said, the “little brown bird” is infamous. It’s even worse in the USA, where almost all the birds wear brown overcoats.

I have known a brown thornbill to sit and stare at me. But then I’ve known a scrub wren, a female golden whistler, and other little brown birds to do the same thing. When this happens I think the bird is hoping for a handout of food, but I don’t know what to feed it.

I didn’t find a “how good a birder are you?” quiz on the web, so I made one up two days ago. It can be found on:

I can only answer the mother in law bit……my mother in law was of the opinion that I was the best thing that ever happened to Mr buffy and she told me so on several occasions. We got on very, very well. Mr buffy got on very well with my Mum until she started losing her marbles, now she knows who he is but can’t remember that he is retired. My father in law died within 6 months of us being married, so I didn’t know him very well. He was a grumpy, damaged old man with poor health. I have done an amateur diagnosis of survivor guilt for him….he survived and many of his men didn’t in Greece during the war.

Harry never treated Prince Charles as his real father, showed him no respect on some occasions.

My mother has approved of both of her daughters partners and my sister has approved of her daughters husband to be (in two weeks) who is also the father of her grandchild.
Mainly because it doesn’t matter what the parents say as long as the children are happy with their choices.

Senator Bob Day officially resigns as ‘white knight investor falls through’

After announcing his resignation last month, then changing his mind, Family First Senator Bob Day has handed in his notice to the President of the Senate.
The now-former South Australian Senator made it official via a statement, which said the major investor that had been examining his Home Australia business over the past fortnight had decided not to proceed.

Mr Day’s Home Australia building company went into liquidation on October 17, with more than 200 homes unfinished in five states and creditors owed at least $12 million.
“It has been an honour and a privilege to serve as a senator for South Australia and I am sorry it has ended this way,” he said.
“I will now devote my time and energy to assisting those who have been affected by the company’s closure.”

I will rate Tim an 8. Sarah’s stepsisters rated him much lower than that until they got know him. Their opinion was why if she is the prettiest among us has she settled for a man who is not tall and handsome. I rate him an 8 because he is genuine in his affection for her. He is so excited about having a child. He is so hard working that my Dad would have scored him a 10. If I have any reservations it is because there is a ‘thing’ that recurs that suggests his family takes family seriously. Meanwhile I spend Christmas each year crying.

My mother hated everyone and everything.

Not sure if this one has been posted yet, seems Bib Day’s election might have been invalid. Seems the taxpayer was paying to rent his parliamentary office space from one of his own companies. This might be in breach of the Constitution if it amounts to a pecuniary interest.

Interesting to see what happens next if his election was invalid. I guess the Senate spot gets awarded to the next place-getter in the Senate results?

I suspect Canada will take them, they have just announced an increase for next year. This is getting rid of loopholes in Labors legislation, ‘‘As of today, asylum seekers who come here by boat without a visa will never be settled in Australia’‘.

Yesterday disGrace pissed on my foot when mr kii came home. She then walked through the puddle and tracked pissy paw prints all over the tiles.
I’m hoping for a better afternoon today.

Pissing when Mr Kii gets home shows she loves him already. And that she has no control.

I’ll tell mr kii that.
Think I’ll work it so the dogs are outside when he gets home.
Oh, I had thongs on :/ poor me :P

World’s shortest flight celebrates its millionth passenger

Two-minute hop – 47 seconds on a good wind day – takes travellers between Westray and Papa Westray in Orkney islands, off Scotland’s north-east coast

The world’s shortest flight, a tiny hop between two remote British islands, celebrated Monday taking its millionth passenger on the route.

The 2.7km (1.7-mile) flight between Westray and Papa Westray in the Orkney islands, off mainland Scotland’s northeast coast, holds the Guinness World Record as the shortest scheduled service.

Includes video of the entire flight:

Japanese hospital fire caused by patient’s operating room flatulence, report finds

A woman has sustained serious burns after passing wind during surgery in Japan.

The patient, in her 30s, was undergoing a gynaecological operation at Tokyo Medical University Hospital in April when a laser being applied to her cervix caught fire.

A recently released report into the incident found her flatulence ignited the laser and caused burns to much of her lower body.

“When the patient’s intestinal gas leaked into the space of the operation , it ignited with the irradiation of the laser, and the burning spread, eventually reaching the surgical drape and causing the fire,” the report said.

Seems like a fluke set of circumstances. I know the Mythbusters always had trouble getting methane gas explosions to happen when testing similar sorts of myths. It has to be just the right gas/air ratio to ignite, most of the time they couldn’t get it to work. Just the right combination of circumstances in an operating theatre wouldn’t happen very often – gas and air mixture at just the right ration trapped in confined space, ignition source activated. I guess it could happen but it would be the most wretched bad luck.

Works the same for those who tried to light their own farts. Watched a bloke trying one night. When he finally got it to work, The flame went up his coit and singed it.

Good morning Holidayers. We have 7 degrees. It’s light, but the sun isn’t up yet. Scattered cloud.

I will have extra work for a few weeks….my receptionist has broken her wrist. I expect she will come to work – although not today – because she really does like working. Today I’ll have to just put a notice on the Hamilton door that it is closed because I have a full book of patients in Casterton. My part timer can work the full day tomorrow for me. Still, it’s only three days a week.

Gotta go. Lots to do.

In my present system (which is total total ratchit, to coin a euphemism) the change in pressure through the “flow controller” flips an electrical switch that sends electrical power to the pump.

Ideally I just want to rip the flow controller out completely, but may need to replace it with a different flow controller if the pump won’t shut off by itself.

you can get a plug and play electrical plug that will do the job based on motor load if you dont want it to run off a flow sensor

Two problems. The first was the fark-awful logic. If the water tank was empty it would continue running the pump dry periodically for up to a week afterwards, and ALWAYS ran the pump dry for at least 20 times after the first pump-dry event was detected. In reverse, when the water tank was full it would take up to a fortnight for the controller to recognise that the water tank had water in it and start the pump.

Then it quit entirely, and doesn’t even try to run the pump when the water tank is full.

I get a bit paranoid using slow combustions this time of year (autumn too), well, I was til I put the flywire on the flues the other night, which I do every year. Not that have ever seen anything come out the flues (even when bang to coals around with a good fire), these units a very good that way. Still i’m a lot more content with a rain or dew. If the wind’s up and it’s dry, or the wind comes up you’ll find me hosing things off downwind. But generally I give things a squirt off around here, dampen everything, turn the fence sprinklers on for a while also.

Some of the grass is still green, being so cool and plenty of rain previous.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-refoulement

“Non-refoulement is a principle of international law, which forbids the rendering of a true victim of persecution to his or her persecutor. Generally, the persecutor in mind is a state actor. It is a principle of both the customary and trucial law of nations.

In common usage, a push back is border control agents turning vessels around in international waters or expelling asylum seekers who have entered a border.

Non-refoulement is a key facet of refugee law, that concerns the protection of refugees from being returned or expelled to places where their lives or freedoms could be threatened. Unlike political asylum, which applies to those who can prove a well-grounded fear of persecution based on certain category of persons, non-refoulement refers to the generic repatriation of people, including refugees into war zones and other disaster locales”

Is Bob Day a new national holiday or something? I keep seeing headlines about it…..

A comment on the Christians for Donald Trump page:

“Father God place your blanket of protection around Mr Pence and Mr Trump so that they can finish the task at hand and that is to win back the United States of America for the American people. Let no evil force prevail. God block anything evil from interfering in there becoming our next President and vice President. I ask this in Jesus holy name! Amen!”
