Good morning all :)
Sun is just peeping over the horizon and it’s 7 degrees, yesterday was 1… brrrr
We are looking at a sunny 13 for the day..
I’m counting the weeks down before heading back to warm FNQ :)

Probably been bombed out of existence by now.
There’s been an attempted hijacking on a plane that departed Melbourne overnight.
“What we’ve learnt is that two or three brave young Aussies have taken him on and got him to the ground, pulled the thing out of his hand. They basically jammed his head into the carpet and put the restraints things on him and then sat on him.”
MH128 passenger confronts man ‘threatening to blow plane up

But it wasn’t a bomb and if it was, why would he shout “I’m going to do it” The usual trick is to simply set it off.

Yep, I guess most people would take it as an open invitation to commit violence.

I’m not an expert, but I think some people hijack planes with intentions other than blowing them up.
A lot of suicide bombings are just a cry for help.

15.7°C, 57% RH, clear and moderate variable breezes. It’s kind of chilly. Not really chilly, but quite chilly for here.
The Police have driven past. The bang last night that I though sounded like a bomb was in fact the girl next door’s car’s rear window being broken. Girl has now discovered it. I don’t know what the second bang was yet.
good morning to all my nearest and dearest internet friends. so happy to be among you all once again. hope you are all healthy and looking forward to meeting this new day head on.

The Washing Post is just reporting that they have discovered an apostrophe error in a 2012 tweet by Trump.
Their political correspondent says it appears to be blatant.
He said this comes on top of documents seen by the Post and obtained through freedom of information by an anonymous source from an un-named informant that at least one file may have had and inappropriate use of their/there in the text, it’s still unconfirmed as the document in question was heavily redacted………………………..more to come.

Meanwhile, shit is going down at my old work. I got a series of texts yesterday from the new me, who is ready to walk out because she’s so stressed with my old boss. She sent me a series of emails between her, the boss, HR and Big Boss. It’s the same old shit I was putting up with. Unfortunately she’s not in the position I was in, having a large amount of annual leave paid out when I left.
It’s at the point where I am seriously considering emailing the big boss to tell her she’s about to lose all the staff there due to shenanigans. She’s coming up this week and next to finalise plans for the new store southside, and I hear she’ll be talking to everyone to try and resolve the issues. Thing is, there were issues at another store last year that are still undergoing resolutions because no one wants to tell my old boss she’s unreasonable.

Two utube comments on the Incredible String Band:
“I came across this song because it was on Tom Moon’s list of 1000 Recordings to Hear Before you Die. I list it as one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard, definitely the worst song on the list. I love Dylan and Waits and Young, so it’s not like I require “beautiful” singing. But he is all over the place (2:21 and 4:13 and 4:29). He makes Syd Barrett look operatic by compare.”
“This album put together words and music that undoubtedly will one day be found by aliens from another planet and deemed the greatest treasure on this planet. End of story.”
I think the truth probably lies somewhere in between those two.
Not satire. You can listen to the audio. Not satire.
Yesterday it was satire because people were saying Sean Spicer would make some kind of defence. But today it’s not satire because it occurred.
http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2017/06/01/small-group-gets-trump-covfefe-tweet-spicer
Those in the know will understand just what US President Donald Trump meant when he tweeted covfefe.
A typo in a late-night tweet from the President of the United States has become the word on everyone’s lips – covfefe.
Donald Trump tweeted shortly after midnight on Wednesday, saying: “Despite the constant negative press covfefe”.
The tweet has since been deleted, but White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer claims that “the president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant.”
A White House reporter asked Mr Spicer: “Do you think people should be concerned that the president posted somewhat of an incoherent tweet last night and that it stayed up for hours?”
“Er, no,” Mr Spicer replied.

Not satire. You can listen to the audio. Not satire.
Yesterday it was satire because people were saying Sean Spicer would make some kind of defence. But today it’s not satire because it occurred.
http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2017/06/01/small-group-gets-trump-covfefe-tweet-spicerThose in the know will understand just what US President Donald Trump meant when he tweeted covfefe.
A typo in a late-night tweet from the President of the United States has become the word on everyone’s lips – covfefe.
Donald Trump tweeted shortly after midnight on Wednesday, saying: “Despite the constant negative press covfefe”.
The tweet has since been deleted, but White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer claims that “the president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant.”
A White House reporter asked Mr Spicer: “Do you think people should be concerned that the president posted somewhat of an incoherent tweet last night and that it stayed up for hours?”
“Er, no,” Mr Spicer replied.
I’ll wait and see what PWM has to say about it.
“OMG I can’t believe these liberal loonies are trying to make news of the fact that the most powerful man in the world is a dozy numbskull who is surrounded by people who will defend any stupid thing he says or does even if it is just falling asleep on a typo.”
One day that critter is going to press covfefe, and the whole world will know what it means.

I’m still waiting for him to finish that sentence
But Sean Spicer’s response kind of turns it into a bigger deal. Why didn’t he just play it off with a laugh. “The president made a typo, we all make typos, get over it. Next question.”
Instead he makes it sound as though covfefe is some kind of state secret.

I read something a few weeks ago about how Trump pays people to tweet for him. It’s not unusual, most celebs pay an agency to write their tweets. But I thought there’s no way Trump isn’t writing his own tweets from his personal account, not the POTUS account. Someone did some research about what device Trump was tweeting on proving whether he wrote it or someone else did.

The Trump administration aren’t exactly known for their senses of humour. They create it, not mediate it.

Doesn’t the fact that someone else writes “famous” peoples tweets come across as quite absurd, I mean twitters full of self indulgent waffle anyway but to get someone else to tweet it is bordering on insanity

If it was tweeted on a BlackBerry, it was him. It was from an iPhone, it was an aide. Or, if it is incoherent, it’s him. Coherent = aide :p

The weird thing is that Sean Spicer has been in this line of work since the mid-1990s. He was the Navy’s public affairs officer. He has been communications officer for countless boards and bodies. He’s made a successful career out of this.
So his failure really can only be down to being in a position of trying to defend the indefensible.
Then again maybe covfefe really is a state secret. (shrugs)

Meanwhile, shit is going down at my old work. I got a series of texts yesterday from the new me, who is ready to walk out because she’s so stressed with my old boss. She sent me a series of emails between her, the boss, HR and Big Boss. It’s the same old shit I was putting up with. Unfortunately she’s not in the position I was in, having a large amount of annual leave paid out when I left.It’s at the point where I am seriously considering emailing the big boss to tell her she’s about to lose all the staff there due to shenanigans. She’s coming up this week and next to finalise plans for the new store southside, and I hear she’ll be talking to everyone to try and resolve the issues. Thing is, there were issues at another store last year that are still undergoing resolutions because no one wants to tell my old boss she’s unreasonable.

Cobbett is a springer spaniel. We live in a little wilderness. He would so much prefer to play with squeaky toys than face the wilds. He does bark off wallabies occasionally and he barks at currawongs.Technically springers are upland bird dogs. Flushers. Still hunters.
One of the coursing trainers I talked to said that what you started the dog made a lot of difference. Whereas roo hunters will put a scrap of roo hide in with the puppies i always start my dogs on goodos. Poppy could find 20 goodos hidden in the living room in no time. Anyway.. I posit the opposite. That starting them on squeaky toys results in squeaky toy lovers.

Yes.
One of the defining features of the 1862 London International Exhibition was the Tasmanian Timber Trophy designed by George Whiting to display Tasmanian native woods for ship building, railway sleepers and public buildings and as specimen cabinet woods for their beauty of colour and markings ideal for use in ornamental furniture.
According to the Daily News it was a noble structure and a cause for rejoicing.
In the opinion of John Bull it signalled the might of Tasmanian woods, their scale and their durability, but beyond that it spoke of Tasmania as a land of natural resources and human opportunity.
The Tasmanian Court displayed wool, minerals, agricultural produce and the products of the whaling industry, yet it was dominated by Whiting’s Timber Trophy rising over 100 feet above ground and made from a variety of native Tasmanian woods.
The main section of the trophy consisted of:
… octagonal column formed of eight spars of Blue Gum, Stringy Bark, White Gum, Silver Wattle, Blackwood and Sassafras. It was hollow and could be entered by doorway above a short flight of steps. From there the visitor could climb the interior spiral staircase made from Huon Pine (a free-working and nearly imperishable wood) to enjoy a bird’s eye view of the Exhibition.
The trophy also incorporated a number of specialised woods required for ship building, such as large ships’ knees. This section of the tree where the trunk meets the root had been in such short supply that British naval architecture had to be modified. Tasmania claims an unlimited supply of such wood.
A longitudinal section of the Swamp gum plank from Port Arthur, exhibited by Mr Boyd, will reveal the extraordinary length and size of Tasmanian timbers. The plank from which this section was taken was 230 feet long, and no available ship could take it to London whole. The section has been divided into 20 foot lengths.
After the Exhibition the trophy was taken to Kew and in 1876 the trophy was broken up and the wood distributed within the botany collection as separate specimens.
——
from the Britannia Trades Advocate published in Hobart on 27 January 1851.
The log of blue gum referred to here was taken from a tree felled directly into the sea near Adventure Bay and towed to Hobart to be processed.
At a dressed 142 feet by 20 inches by 8 inches it had been shortened so that it could be strapped to the side of a boat for the voyage to London.
On arrival the dressed log could not travel through the narrow streets of London so after all the effort it was cut up and joined together on site.
This was a great disappointment to all those involved.
In order not to make the same mistake twice for the London Exhibition of 1862 the dressed log was cut up into 20 foot lengths in Hobart each branded for rematching on site, with the brands crossing the cuts.
The reconnected log had to be exhibited outside the 1862 Cromwell Road Exhibition building which was to small to house this magnificent natural object which had also been felled into the sea.

Back from the shop and the berry sauce for the duck crêpes is off. Not a single berry of any shape or form in the shop apart from strawberries.
Also, no uncooked duck breasts so I got ready-cooked ones, which will actually save from work.
Now thinking what I’ll do instead of berries & berry sauce.
I think he meant to type coffee.
You could have used frozen berries.
Divine Angel said:

I have to go back to the shop shortly anyway, because I left one bagful behind as my shopping was just too heavy.

The duck breasts are already cooked. Can just be sliced and put in the crêpes with whatever else is going in them, and heated in the oven on the day.

Do you have a tea syrup recipe? I was thinking of lightly cooking sliced pears and apples in either dry or sweet white wine.

Coco Blue used to sell locally made pear chutney which would go very well with duck. I’ll give them a call and see if they still stock it.

I think I dodgied it from an online recipe. It was only making up some very strong tea but straining it before it stewed. Adding the sugar. Putting it in a pot with pears and a lid.

I think I will do the sliced breasts alternating with sliced pears & apples cooked in white wine (still haven’t decided sweet or dry), dressed with pear chutney on a bed of either pancetta or prosciutto on the pancakes, roll them up. Serve with veg mix consisting of diced taters, parsnips, carrots, halved Brussels sprouts all tossed with blue cheese and onion & garlic cooked in butter.
Or something :)

The first time didn’t affect me as it was only a couple of months after I started. The second time did affect me and one unit that I’ve done no longer counts, so I had to do an extra 3rd year unit.
Griffith have/had this thing where you register the degree, which means you outline all the units you want to do and if the degree changes, you still do those units no matter what. Since I’m a CSP student, I don’t have to register my degree which also means if they switch units again, I may be forced into doing more units. I won’t, because I’m so close to finishing. But the unit I’ve just finished, about celebrity and stardom, was a replacement unit for a marketing unit I did that no longer counts towards the degree. That marketing one was a bastard of a unit too!

Griffith have/had this thing where you register the degree, which means you outline all the units you want to do and if the degree changes, you still do those units no matter what. Since I’m a CSP student, I don’t have to register my degree which also means if they switch units again, I may be forced into doing more units. I won’t, because I’m so close to finishing. But the unit I’ve just finished, about celebrity and stardom, was a replacement unit for a marketing unit I did that no longer counts towards the degree. That marketing one was a bastard of a unit too!
csp?

Phew. Just checked degree requirements and am pleased that nothing has changed. In 6 months, I will be finished! I’m doing Media Law now and just have Communications Project to go. Comms Project is basically a thesis. I know the tutor, she’ll be nice to me lol.
Awesome. A nice finish to a degree.
In other news, the second Ed Sheeran concert at the new Perth Stadium looks set to sell-out soon. I didn’t realise he was that popular. Wonder if I should buy tickets just to join the cool crowd?

You can buy them then sell them closer to the date at exhorberant prices.

Yes,, and if there is a trailing letter, the line is added, making it look like an f.
A capital S or an s at the end of a word will still look like an s.

Serve with veg mix consisting of diced taters, parsnips, carrots, halved Brussels sprouts all tossed with blue cheese and onion & garlic cooked in butter.Or something :)
I’ll lightly cook the fruit in Zibibbo, a good sparkling muscat I’ve used before for fruit cooking. It’s certainly sweet but with the sweet/savoury chutney, fermented pancetta, rich gamey duck and buttery pancakes flavoured with a little nutmeg, it should all work well together.

Really, all mine are off the tree and finished. In fact the leaves are off the trees.
Went shopping this morning, going to be butter boy for the next few days. What I noticed is that meat seems to be getting expensive. Luckily I like cooking stews with gravy or blade, and prefer to cook with chicken thighs, even then they (the thighs) are getting onto 8 bucks for three of them. Oh and mince, I like doing bean heavy nachos.

They gas ‘em with ethylene something or other to keep them at the same stage of ripeness as when picked (+ cold storage), then when they sit in the supermarket or where ever they ripen up ‘as normal’ (ha!)…that’s the theory anyway.

Thing with that though is that they export it because they get a good price. Ban exports less viable farmers, farmers go out of business, prices go up. Market manipulation by governments rarely work.

Put a new inlet solenoid (or solenoid diaphragm kit) into it. They are generally cheap. It’s likely to be the diaphragm in the solenoid that’s failed.

Seems the only thing that will work is Spin, so that’ll have to do. But it means I’ll have to fill it several times for the spin cycle to rinse the detergent out.

I’ll have a look at the filter inlets on the machine itself tomorrow.
Last time I successfully used it, it was filling veeeery slowly. There’s nothing wrong with the pipe so there might be a filter on the machine where it connects which could be blocked.

You have had work done on pipes I think which you would expect to dislodge debris. On my machine the inlet filters are very fine so wouldn’t take much to block them, you can find them on the machine side, you might need some needle nose pliers to pull it out, fingers don’t get in there.

Should be plenty in the IGA. In season in autumn and I’m sure there are plenty left :)
Really, all mine are off the tree and finished. In fact the leaves are off the trees.
You might have one of the early varieties like the Williams Pear that is harvested from January to May, although there are many varieties producing fruit to mid-November. So we are actually in the middle of the pear season.

I am in the central goldfields, if you look at climate gardening maps we are a bit of an anomaly, all the fruit trees here are done for the season, albeit my pomegranate still has some leaves and fruit hanging on.

With such a large difference, doubt if your growing region would be the sole factor. Most fruit trees have early and late varieties and perhaps the early ones are the ones that grow best where you are. Do you have unusually severe weather?

It is pretty brutal. Very cold and wet winters with fierce frosts, very hot dry summers, weeks of very high temperatures. Not much of nice in between.

Sounds quite good for pears then, but with early frosts sending them into dormancy, which favour the Williams Pear. However other varieties are successfully grown commercially in a wide variety of conditions and locations, so plenty in the shops for a while yet.

ok. one of my SIL used a water wise analog washing machine system. Where by the system resembles a lottery ball tumbler and with a handle to manually rotate the system.
The set up can be easily placed onto a dinner table.

Evening all.
On several occasions, i’ve done clothes washing in bathtubs. Swirl ‘em around, wring them out, swirl them, wring them, repeat for 15 mins or so. You can do several days wash for one person like that.
Land-Rover had instructions on how to wash clothes in their vehicles. Put clothes in a bucket of soapy water, close lid on bucket securely, lash bucket to tiedowns in Land-Rover, drive 100 bumpy kilometres.

The big argument against is their relative permanence. You’re stuck with them.
I had Jewish friends, some of whom had relatives who’d been tattooed without their consent. The tatts were a bit blurred and faded by then, but they were there. Made you look at tattooes from another angle.
In some lines of work, tattooes are not encouraged. I have none myself. Certain subjects and styles of tattoo, and even tattooists’ individual flair, can make tattooes identifying marks. They can make you (or your corpse, in extreme cases) ‘attributable’.

Sounds eminently sensible to me. Any casualties from explosions are dealt with by then, any further explosions would have gone off by then, and everyone’s had a chance to calm down.

all I an say about them, and I have a couple, is to ink with pen something on the spot you want to get tattooed, leave that there for a while (say six months – reinking when necessary) and see what you think.

exactly… it’s pretty common to see them on many emergency services, health care workers, armed forces etc.. even if they aren’t visible, you can’t (afaik) discriminate against body ink…. body piercings and stretches are still discriminated against in some areas due to health and safety reasons.

There was a stand-up comedian of Chinese origin who said that he’d ask people with tattooes of Chinese characters “why did you get that tattooed on you?”.
They’d say it means something like ‘good fortune’ or ‘my family’.
“Oh, no”, he’d say “it means ‘child molester’. Why would you want a tattoo like that?”.

If you only have half an hour why would you do something that takes most of that time to set, so much so that you add gelatine to a recipe that doesn’t normally have it so unknown results, moreover, if at the last minute it hasn’t set you don’t have enough time to redo.

Hundreds in Scotland still have black and white TV
More than 550 households in Scotland are still watching television in black and white, according to TV licensing officials.
Glasgow has the largest number of black and white sets at 200, followed by Edinburgh with 55.
TV Licensing Scotland revealed the figure as it reminded viewers they need a licence, however dated the model.
Regular colour broadcasts began on BBC Two in July 1967.
Britain became the first country in Europe to offer regular programming in colour, weeks ahead of Germany.
Yet almost 10,000 black and white licences are still in force across the UK.

Yes.
And so the first independent ABC news broadcast went to air on Sunday June 1, 1947, with this preamble broadcast beforehand:
“This is the news that you don’t have to fetch and carry. It comes to you with the turn of the knob that a child can turn. Nobody has to bring it home, it is there. It is the butterfly that flies into your net. The view you can get without having to go to your window.”

Have to say I still prefer going to my own window (metaphorally, and literally), I probably wouldn’t have used that last sentence, or thought it.

dunno , depends what you make of window, it has to be metaphor
anyway, there’s this too It comes to you with the turn of the knob that a child can turn.
variously human minds have knobs for turning things on and off and variously calibrations, being as they are socially and culturally receptive creatures. Read backwards it’s turn the childish knob.
but I guess most people think a knob is a roundish thing on audio equipment or whatever.

Don’t know but I shouldn’t think so. Presumably they’re using set-top boxes with B&W TVs that are modern enough
to be compatible, or running the digital stuff through some other device that just displays on the B&W set.

I find it rather comforting that the TV police actually believe wink wink the holders of these old licenses.
I do wonder how they enforce it now days? In ye old dark ages you had the men driving around in the van which was able to detect wink wink whether anyone had a tele.

Possibly, but they still have to pay a colour licence fee if they own a computer, tablet or smartphone, so they’d have to hide all such devices if the licence nazis come knocking.
Here’s an article from 2013 about the dwindling number of B&W licences:

Anyway…should get dressed for my appointment.
Hubby’s first day of retirement and I have a 9am appointment with my therapist.
make of that what you will.
I am actually looking forward to having him around more often. I find I feel more focused when he is in his workshop and I am in my workroom. As long as he stops talking so much :P I am giving him a week or so to settle in.
….. and the Golden Girl Captiva? in 12 months?
New alternator.
New petrol pump. (came to a dead halt in the middle of nowhere)
New front discs and brakes (shudder in the brakes).
New windscreen (cracked and wouldn’t pink slip it)
New driver’s side door handle (broke off)
$3,200 worth of dent fixing. (Insurance with excess of $650)
And now………………. new timing chain needed. (around $2,000 so they tell me).
All up? Around $6,000+ in 12 months, just fixin’ the thing.
Then there’s services, and it’s gunna need new tyres pretty soon. Done 44,000kms in it in 14 months. Hit 160,000 kms this week.

Nope. Did get a job a month ago (so I found out) that came with car. Well, preferred candidate anyway. But the commute was too far. That was 250kms a day and 4 hour commute.
Same company as this job, actually. They found me a role closer to home, a smidge less base pay, but no car.
A nice cheap isn car for long distance work is a Honda Accord Euro, nicely hushed at highway speeds, reliable (if serviced properly, Hondas like particular oils) well screwed together and usually careful first owners, doesn’t attract hoons.

Nope. I would get a paddock basher for farm work.
And I would love to see you YouTube you putting a cow into a Captiva.

One drawback it’s a 200km 3 hr commute each day. (100 km, 1.5 hrs each way).So you have a company car?
Nope. Did get a job a month ago (so I found out) that came with car. Well, preferred candidate anyway. But the commute was too far. That was 250kms a day and 4 hour commute.
Same company as this job, actually. They found me a role closer to home, a smidge less base pay, but no car.

Just thinking about the k’s on your car. 250 days by 200 is 50,000 k’s a year. That’s a lot of wear and tear on your car, double that with petrol when it comes to cost. Then there is the time component.

I know. Currently do 140kms a day to and from each way. hour and a bit each way. Pretty close to all highway driving.

It’s reassuring that people do seem to have noticed the chaos the Tories have unleashed since the last election. Coupled with never-ending cuts to everything, even a weak & divided Labour party is looking like a safety net.

My next door neighbour is putting a native garden on his front verge.on Saturday he is initiating planting… his first plant will be a grass tree that is, as the invitation says, ‘bigger than wife approved’. He has invited the close neighbours around for a surprise morning tea and planting ceremony. I can only imagine that it might not go well… but I’ll be there with gloves on to watch.

our council approves of native species being planted on the front verge, they like it even more if they don’t have to pay for it. You only are not allowed to have paving, pea gravel or non native large plants (whatever ‘large’ means)

I’ve been to a couple of the Plant a Tree Day events and am amazed at how lame some people are. Holes for tube-stock are pre-dug, so all that’s required it to take the plant out of the pot, place it in the hole, press the tiny soil mound back into the hole, then cover with a little mulch. Nope. We find that about 10% of the pots are just plonked into the holes then roughly covered, making it difficult to tell which ones have been planted properly and which ones haven’t. Council staff stay back for hours checking each plant and fixing them up. Oh, don’t get me started on the stakes and plastic sleeve thingies. Honestly, how some of these people manage to function in the real world remains a mystery.

Spreading plants. They’ll probably argue about spreading natives too. I once did a gardens plan for a building development approval for a block of home units. Did include a list of plant names but abbreviated them on location.
The Parks and Gardens Supervisor called me in to take me to task. He had a pile of boojks about natives on the table and looked harassed. I asked him, “been studying up?” he replied that they belonged to one of his workers that was studying at uni. He wanted to know how I was expecting Eucalyptus maclata to fit in here.. I pointed to the plant list and told him that E. maculata was actually Eremophila maculata. The same when he worked out that Acacia lineata could grow three metres wide. I replied, “that’s what secateurs were invented for”.

The Department of Human Services said many people are still using mobile phone apps that allow them to redial “every couple of seconds” if they get an engaged signal.
Chief information officer Gary Sterrenberg said they were trying to work out how many people are constantly calling.
“The analysis we’ve asked our provider to do is to strip out those that try less than a number of times per segment of time, because obviously it’s reasonable for them within a minute or two to try again, but it’s actually not reasonable for them to try a thousand times a day, you know,” he said.

Can’t sleep. This hasn’t happened in a long time.
We’re having morning tea in a local park with The Rocket Scientist and another person I met whilst doing the silversmithing course. She’s bringing her two kids. A 5 year old and I think the little boy is 2. They are both hoots. I found some things in my stashes to give to the kids. Thick crayons, stickers and some other things.
I made my experimental muffins and will be taking Vegemite sandwiches (with cheese and iceberg lettuce). Also some fairy bread for the kids (ALL the kids)
Probably should go attempt sleep again.

Ah, well, you know it’s a question for the attorney-general. I think that we’ve got very strong anti-terrorism laws. If people want to break the law they’ll suffer the consequences, and you know, people coming back from engagement overseas obviously means that they were overseas trying to murder people, and murdering is against the law, and if you want to go overseas and murder other people, um well you’re an evil person, and if what you really want to do is be involved in a conflict then join the Australian Army and do it legally.

No time for cooking for myself tonight, so dinner will be out of a tin. Campbell’s beef & veg soup with cream cheese sandwiches to dunk in.
Crêpe creation this evening:
a) Make enough batter for 8-10 crêpes
b) Cook crêpes, leave to cool
c) Peel, slice & cook pears & apples in Zibibbo
d) Slice duck breasts
e) Lightly fry slices of pancetta
Then the production line for each crêpe:
a) Foundation layer of pancetta
b) Alternate slice of duck breast with slice of pear, slice of duck, slice of apple etc across full width of crêpe
c) Add a few sultanas to each fruit section
d) Top with a layer of spiced pear chutney
e) Roll crêpe into cylinder, do next until all completed
f) Wrap and refrigerate ready to lightly bake immediately before lunch is served.
While baking I might top them with a little of the blue cheese sauce I’ll be making for the vegetables.

c) Peel, slice & cook pears & apples in Zibibbo
d) Slice duck breasts
e) Lightly fry slices of pancettaThen the production line for each crêpe:
a) Foundation layer of pancetta
b) Alternate slice of duck breast with slice of pear, slice of duck, slice of apple etc across full width of crêpe
c) Add a few sultanas to each fruit section
d) Top with a layer of spiced pear chutney
e) Roll crêpe into cylinder, do next until all completed

After I’ve been to the pub for tea, I will put another layer on the frogs in a (bog) algal bloom.

Henry Blake
M*A*S*H character
McLean Stevenson Henry Blake MASH 1972.JPG
First appearance MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors
Last appearance “Abyssinia, Henry”
(on screen)
Portrayed by Film: Roger Bowen
Television: McLean Stevenson
Information
Gender Male
Title Lieutenant Colonel
Hometown Bloomington, Illinois
Lieutenant Colonel Henry Braymore Blake is introduced in the 1968 novel M*A*S*H and is also a character in the film (played by Roger Bowen) and television series (played by McLean Stevenson). He is a surgeon and the commanding officer of the 4077th M*A*S*H unit. He is beloved for his down-to-earth, laid-back manner by many under his command, especially Hawkeye and Trapper John (with whom he drinks, flouts regulations, and chases women), and scorned for it by those who prefer strict military discipline, such as Frank Burns and Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan.
In the film, he is a career Army physician, having been commissioned prior to World War II. In the television series, he is a reservist called up to active duty and taken away from his private practice in Bloomington, Illinois. Henry attended University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he was the football team athletic trainer. He tells Hawkeye he has “a great practice back home”, but a “routine” one, and that by serving in Korea, he is doing more doctoring than he would otherwise be called on to do in a lifetime. While Henry was in command of the 4077th, his wife – called Mildred in earlier episodes, Lorraine in later ones (the reason is never explained) – had a son back in Bloomington. Henry would never meet his son.
Henry is a good person and a capable surgeon, but not a forceful or competent commanding officer. Company clerk Radar can usually anticipate his wishes and turn them into efficient military orders, but Henry often gets flustered when an important decision needs to be made. In the “Rainbow Bridge” episode, he has to decide whether to send his doctors into enemy territory for an exchange of wounded prisoners, but hems and haws then tells his doctors, “Whatever you guys decide is fine with me.” His skill as a commander is his ability to maintain the morale of his unit, which he does through heartfelt talk, and indulgence of the lunacy that is a hallmark of the 4077th. This success is demonstrated by the unit’s 97% casualty survival rate.
When McLean Stevenson decided to leave the show at the end of the third season, his character was scripted to be discharged and sent home, as a bittersweet way to write him out of the series. However, the producers added a final scene to his last episode, in which it is reported that Blake’s plane has been shot down, killing everyone aboard. This scene was kept secret from most of the cast until just before filming so that they would respond more authentically to the tragic news.
(The following evening, Cher opened the show with a shot of McLean Stevenson on a smoking raft, waving his arms, hollering, “I’m OK! I’m OK!” In addition, the M*A*S*H novels written by W.E.B. Griffin state Henry’s death to be “wildly exaggerated”.)

“A new book by Lord of the Rings author JRR Tolkien is going on sale – 100 years after it was first conceived.
Beren and Lúthien has been described as a “very personal story” that the Oxford professor thought up after returning from the Battle of the Somme.
It was edited by his son Christopher Tolkien and contains versions of a tale that became part of The Silmarillion………..”

Decided not to fry the pancetta since it should be adequately cooked in the baking. So now it’s just a matter of slicing the duck and assembling the crêpes.

Having rolled two, they’re still pretty substantial. There are nine crêpes altogether. I was hoping there’d be ten to make two each.
I may just make another batch of batter and make two crêpes from it, reserving the rest of the batter for next week some time.
Then with 11 filled crêpes, I’ll be able to have one for supper tonight to see what they’re like :)

Hey Bubblecar….Mr buffy caught a mouse. By stomping on it. I’m glad I wasn’t in the room. Once before he did that, about 30 years ago….Duke (our first Boxer) flushed the mouse out and Mr buffy stood on it as it ran past him. The other night he saw a mouse move and was close enough to get it. I’m not sure it’s a terribly humane method…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misophonia
Misophonia, literally “hatred of sound”, was proposed in 2000 as a condition in which negative emotions, thoughts, and physical reactions are triggered by specific sounds. It is also called “select sound sensitivity syndrome” and “sound-rage”. Misophonia has no classification as an auditory, neurological, or psychiatric condition, there are no standard diagnostic criteria, it is not recognized in the DSM-IV or the ICD-10, and there is little research on how common it is or the treatment. Proponents suggest misophonia can adversely affect ability to achieve life goals and to enjoy social situations. Treatment consists of developing coping strategies such as cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure therapy.

I’ve been aware of it since childhood. In a large family we had strict rules about manners, so eating with your mouth closed was very important at the dining table. My younger brother sat next to me and the sounds of his chewing came out his ears or something….. I’d sit quietly and eat slowly, waiting for everyone else to finish and leave. Then I could relax at the table by myself and finish my meal in peace and quiet.

I like people making plenty of noise while eating (enjoying it) burping’s good too (I draw the line at farting at the table), though might add that I don’t feel being forced by the size of a shared table to be in such near proximity to be very natural. Often I go eat outside, by my lonesome, which might be to get out of doing the dishes, or to feel less guilty about not doing the dishes, or maybe banging dishes annoys me. There’s a division of labor thing to be respectful of too.
But the truth is a like the outdoors a lot. Out there in the garden.

Europeans are weird. Yesterday I read of a Frenchman who married his partner — even though the partner had been murdered in April. Meanwhile, in Holland, a court has granted families the right to test the DNA of a doctor — who also died in April, though he wasn’t murdered — who ran a fertility clinic and is suspected of having substituted his own sperm for that of donors; if it’s confirmed, the resulting children hope to sue the doctor on the grounds that they shouldn’t exist.

Well, we had a picnic in the park. Bad timing – a large number of teens were holding some event thing there. Mostly on the other side of the park, but they had commandeered all the picnic tables. Even to the point of dragging a few over to where they were all congregating. No worries, we had a bench and a shady tree and the climbing equipment for the two small kids with us.
I put some mats down to have the picnic on. All is okay.
Then the primary school kids arrived from somewhere and invade the area where we were. Seriously invade.
There were adults with them who paid no head to where these bad mannered little shits went. Sitting on the bench where we had our bags and other things. Asking if they could eat the pile of chips the toddler had left there. Running past us and playing loudly right next to where we were trying to talk and joke and have fun.
There’s a huge area for them to play and yell…..like over there ——-> or over there <———
But, no…right next to us.
Someone asked me a question and I responded loudly….“I can’t hear you because there’s too much noise!!!” The adult who was “supervising” them made a feeble attempt to move these kids away, but it really didn’t have any fucking impact on their behaviour. When I saw some of the boys standing next to the bench and looking at my friend’s bag I told them to move away. They looked at me blankly. So, I said. “Move away, go play somewhere else. Now!” I had to go into full on teacher mode. They left, and the adult with them tried to say something to them again, but they just walked away from her.
I think I just added to my Crazy English Woman status.
Oh, it’s summer holidays here and the younger kids seemed to be in a vacation care situation.
I need a nap.

I am going to a baby shower this morning.

Using forceps?
Hope not. She’s not due for another 2 months. She’s already experiencing cankles and other unpleasant side effects.

I don’t know anything about babies and environs but I would have thought a baby shower would require the presence of a baby not an unopened one.
Baby showers are to give wisdom and advice to the expectant mother, while the rest of us eat cake.
At my shower, the mothers gave me practical gifts like baby nail clippers, while my non-mum friends gave me adorable outfits which Little Miss outgrew in 5 minutes and other impractical gifts. I’m giving her nappies (I got so many nappies at my shower, I didn’t need to buy any til she was three months old!), baby wipes, baby oil (to make wiping meconium easier), nail clippers and some fruity-smelling shower gel because after the baby is born, she will feel like she’s been hit by a truck and these will help make her feel human again. Self-care is very important after you have a baby.
Morning.
14.5°C, 65% RH,clear and calm. It’ll be a lovely day when it warms up a bit. Still a bit more cleaning to do on the new door glass. I thought I had it right, but no, there’s bits I didn’t get right. I’ll walk down to the beach again today. Maybe even along it for a bit. And water the back grass. Sand has gone dry and the grass is wilting.
But before any of that, you guessed it – c…o…f…f…e…e…

I’m not so sure about NSW these days but in Tas we have seen riparian boundaries ignored even in places where there is known burrowing crayfish. Oh. So sorry about that. If anything the riparian boundaries should be increased.

Time is and has been long overdue to leave the forests alone and grow our own trees for wood products. We have plenety of land previously cleared to use for the purpose. Similarly plant high fibre plants such as cannabis.
Morning all. 15° and cloudy with a slight chance of rain for the next week here.
In other news, replacing the bottom bracket (crank bearings on the pushy) because the old one was knackered has unleashed a torrent of pedally goodness. Happy with that.

NSW’s premier (and Baird before her) is doing a Trump right now, albeit a little more marketably. NSW has been going downhill fast, environmentally, for some time already.
Take for example, that the protected status of feral deer as a game species was this week re-instated following review. WTF? Councils are being stripped of their powers to approve DAs, as it slows down the process. Bio-banking has been hailed a success! The list is long. It’s death by a thousand cuts :(

I replaced my bottom bracket a few weeks ago (the old one literally fell apart.) Getting the old one out was a real PITA: it had been there for about 13 years and was corroded in place. It got to the point that I actually considered cutting the frame. The new one is presently much better than the old one was, but we’ll see how long that lasts (I do silly things like riding through creeks and rivers with water up to the top bar, which sometimes has consequences.)

I think the whatever is to do with the friendly global village business (which requires tourism and more), the politics of, and presently there’s a bit of politics to do with how friendly countries are that way (the state does administer territories and boundaries). And the we has blown the hell out of one country (iraq), and been involved in a semi occupation of another (afghanistan – helping the troubles resolve themselves). Then there’s the people smugglers, and a whole lot of nasty stuff the wealthier more civilized countries are helping to fix.
So ASIO wants to look neutral of politics.

There was ambiguity as he was referring to refugees per se, when in fact only one group of refugees were responsible. Therefore had this group not been permitted to come to Australia, it is highly likely that there would not have been those terrorists attacks.

https://au.news.yahoo.com/a/35743598/zandvoort-netherlands-mini-tsunami/#page1
_The unique phenomenon is called a meteotsunami, or meteorological tsunami, according to Jacco Kromkamp of the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ).
Kromkamp explained that a meteotsunami is generated when rapid changes in barometric pressure cause the displacement of a body of water.
It often emerges as the forerunner of a thunderstorm front and corresponds essentially to a cold front._
This is interesting.

Doesn’t look right, needs more structural bracing between the two nacelles.
It’s got to carry a rocket so it will be slug between them I’m guessing.
Why the two cockpits?
I’m unconvinced by the whole thing, it’s years away.

We now know why Schiaparelli crashed on Mars.
Report at.
http://exploration.esa.int/mars/59176-exomars-2016-schiaparelli-anomaly-inquiry/#
An unexpectedly high rate of spin on reentry caused the “Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)” to overflow with data and fail.
This led to a 165 degree error in the calculated orientation of the lander. This turned the heat shield upside down, but more importantly from then on all the altitude calculations were incorrect.
Wrong altitude calculation made the parachute detach too soon and the lander had a 34 second free fall before impact.

Anyway Janina said to me today, ‘Rosa, can you tell me what this mabo 25th means?’
So i rattle on about the British and Terra nullius, and the high court and Eddie Mabo and native title. On and on I rattle.
And then she says ‘But Rosa. What is the Mabo?’
So I say Mabo is Eddie’s last name. And she say’s ‘ah.’ And she nods her head.
Its the vibe…
furious said:

Would’ve taken another half hour.
At one stage she was wwanting to know how native title was different to her title for her property. Somewhere in this conversation I mention that she only owns the top six inches. We talk about how if she digs up gold on her own property she needs a license and someone else probably already owns it. Then she said Australia was worse than Russia.

It’s always about their own personal experience in Russia (or wherever) and here. Often immigrants lose their connection with family and friends and have trouble forming new friendships. This has a greater negative impact than everything else combined.

My Dad used to hate that about the ex-pat Dutch community here in Australia. Always some old codger whinging about things were better in the old country. Thing is after a while things change and the country they left changes too. My parents went back a few times for holidays but each time they did it became more and more of a foreign country.

very many years ago when I was living in lower bent street neutral bay there was a Polish guy next door who was the craziest. Following people, knocking down walls, breaking all the car aerials in the whole suburb, streets and streets of broken aerials. His parents had died just after they arrived in Aus. I was told that schizophrenia was not uncommon in those sort of circumstances..the loneliness and the lack of language..

My dad, after living here for 25 years, actually went back to the Czech Republic to live. It wasn’t the same place and unfortunately for him, he was now considered a foreigner there too. He eventually came back here, deciding it was a better country with a better climate.

Sympathies, hopefully it’s just a minor seasonal wog that will soon pass.
My day started off very irritably because the short list of things to do before the guests arrived actually seemed to take forever, and at one point I was almost tempted to call Anna (the older sister) and tell them to turn up an hour later. I was also worried because all items I cooked for lunch were my own untried recipes.
But it all fell into place. I was thinking the vegetable dish I threw together to accompany the crêpes was all over the place, with some things over-cooked, others under-cooked, but it actually turned out perfect. Anna was asking me for the detailed recipes, which is quite a compliment coming from her :)

Well the good news from a week or so ago looks like it’s happened. I just got back from Gilmour Space Tecnologies, in Pimpama, and I’ll be starting work there later this month. Initially it’s just work experience for my Engineering degree with Griffith Uni (need 60 days) but if it goes well I’ll stay on.
So while I always thought I’d be just a Space Cadet, I’m going to be a genuine rocket engineer.
Pretty darn happy about that.

Ouch! Just sliced the skin from my finger joint chopping parsley. Luckily I was able to find the missing body part and remove it from our dinner.
This part of this finger is an area which I have never been able to feel; it has been numb from birth or very early childhood, so it was strange to see so much blood pouring out. Now I am feeling referred pain in the surrounding area, so it must be bad. I’m not looking :(

Ouch! Just sliced the skin from my finger joint chopping parsley.

Now I am feeling referred pain in the surrounding area, so it must be bad. I’m not looking :(

hope it isn’t too bad when you look, make sure you have a soft spot to land on if you faint.

I will be changing the band-aid soon. Mr Speedy put the first one on for me, so I’ll ask him to do this one too. He has had some horrendous hand injuries over the year, but he even said this was deep.

Hehe. Indeed.
I have a burn on the other hand which I inflicted on myself last week whilst misusing the oven. It blistered up nicely and still hurts. I should stay out of the kitchen for some time, methinks, and just to be sure, the laundry too.

Maybe nothing for an hour or so. There’s a 2014 Pillastro Susumaniello to go with tonight’s steak.
From the internets:
Pillastro Susumaniello 2014
Italian superstar made from the rare Susumaniello
In fact, Angelo’s winery, in Italy’s deep south, has thrice been voted Southern Italy’s Winery of the Year. This treasure is made from the unique Susumaniello grape. In local dialect, Susumaniello means something like ‘loaded like a donkey’, referring to the wine’s massive amounts of aroma and flavour – you’ll taste why!
Angelo Maci has won numerous medals and here’s a chance to enjoy an ancient variety brimming with deep, smoky blackberry, plum and cherry flavours. Serve this almost opaque-looking red in your largest glasses with hearty fare like braised lamb shanks or how about spicy caponata?

Three terrorists shot dead within 8 minutes of initial call, that’s pretty good.
Unfortunately they killed six people in the mean time.

That to billions of people round the world would be incomprehensible let alone having the luxury of having a hot shower before jumping in a car to get food without having to worry about the price and then throw some of the chips away because they got cold and there were too many of them anyway.
That is beyond billions of peoples ken.
Hello Holidayers. Back from Melbourne. Moved a trailer load of firewood, some to the woodshed, and some to the pile awaiting the hydraulic splitter:
And I’m a bit excited about another development in the garden. After our bushfire at Digby some years ago I collected some seed from the Xanthorrhoea minor and got some to germinate. I have two plants surviving from about 20. Some of them I planted out too young. Anyway today I noticed that one of them is making a flower spike. It’s making a bit of a botch of it, it is supposed to go straight up, not curl like a Pug’s tail. Here is the plant in 2012 and today:
——-
The flower is not easy to see, but I assure you, that curly brown thing is a flower spike forming.

The good doctor refused to countenance such pointless mutilation. But on her way out she deliberately jammed her finger in the door as it shut. He may now have no choice.

http://www.sbs.com.au/news/insight/tvepisode/gut-feeling
Our gut (and microbiome) is … connected to the brain, via over 100 million neurons (as many as you’d find in the brain of a cat) spread all the way from our throat to rectum – giving some credence to the old saying, “gut feeling”. It’s lead researchers to increasingly find links between our gut microbiome and things like our mood and food cravings, potentially spelling massive changes to how we approach treatment for depression and anxiety.
Already previously radical treatments like faecal matter transplants (FMT) are becoming common therapies for certain health issues – as Insight hears from guests who have undergone them.

Our gut (and microbiome) is … connected to the brain, via over 100 million neurons (as many as you’d find in the brain of a cat) spread all the way from our throat to rectum – giving some credence to the old saying, “gut feeling”. It’s lead researchers to increasingly find links between our gut microbiome and things like our mood and food cravings, potentially spelling massive changes to how we approach treatment for depression and anxiety.

It’s a mild, tasty and perfectly agreeable drop with the herbaceous notes often found in Italian reds, but not terribly intense.
Just opened a Sieber Road 2012 Barossa Grenache Shiraz that packs a much heftier (and extremely inviting) nose.
I’ve had a few bottles of this in recent years and it now promises to be tastier than ever.

He did indeed have to amputate the finger. The very next day, the woman was found….murdered.

Grenache is a weed and should be placed on the noxious list for immediate eradication.

Nonsense. The Grenache takes this Shiraz unto a luxuriant green riverbank with many notes of fragrant and well-watered foliage.

Aha. The murdered woman was not the woman who’d insisted on digital amputation, despite missing the same finger.
It was the niece whose finger had been accidentally shot off by Sir Hector some years before.

Grenache has long been associated with fortified wines in Australia, but is coming into its own as a fine wine blender:
Australia
Australian Grenache may have been first planted in The Hunter Valley but South Australia is where it has thrived. Australian Grenache, Barossa Valley varieties in particular, is becoming more popular. Barossa Valley produces fruitier Grenache than that from McLaren Vale where the wine has more spice. With a nod toward the Old World and Rhône-style wines, Australian wineries have had success with Grenache, Shiraz, Mataro blends better known as GSM.
Common Grenache Wine characteristics
Typically the colour of Grenache wine is a dark, slightly menacing purple. Grenache aromas include those of spice, red plum, raspberry, cherry elixir and, when developed, meaty or gamey notes. The palate of a typical Grenache wine is fruit driven, often very plush and shows sweet red berries, spice and wild raspberry notes. South Australia is the most accomplished Grenache growing region in Australia as the hotter climate suits the optimum growing conditions for the variety. Grenache is a crowd-pleasing, short-term cellaring grape variety.

That’s atypical, since Grenache is famous for its easy-drinking qualities. This wine for example is described as “dangerously drinkable” by reviewers and I know what they mean :)
Very little tannin, nicely complex and quite delicious first impression that’s agreeably strong enough on the tastebuds to forgive any lack of depth.

I first learnt to hate it through the GSM varieties.

Well different people will react to different taste experiences in different ways, but for me this particular Grenache Shiraz is a highly agreeable and all-too-drinkable treat :)
Better than it was a couple years ago so I’d imagine it’s at its peak right now.

It was a very bad hangover, wasn’t it?
we used to make grenache wines. straight and with shiraz. not bad. pretty much like what Bubblecar described. made a grenache one year that was about 16.7%, from memory.

Today is Day 4 of mr kii’s retirement. As it is Sunday (and therefore, yesterday was Saturday AND Day 3), he’s allowed a bit of slack…..
I think he is already feeling invigorated by the shucking of the work shackles. He’s nearly finished fixing my bookshelf that I managed to break….with my books.
On Friday he did see some of his former workmates when we were at the park, and he had a little chat with them as they patrolled the area in the little electrical vehicle they use. I observed him closely and he didn’t seem to miss being in the driver’s seat of the Toro.

I just hope his severe pain settles down. Back, knees, feet, shoulders…elbow. He has scoliosis and I always thought he looked more “Irregular” at the end of a busy day using the various equipment the park teams use. His right shoulder was noticeably higher than his left one after a day of work.
Right now he’s sanding the block of wood he’s using to fix my bookshelf. It’s a happy sound :D
Time to go do stuff.
Today might including baking some banana bread.
I am also planning on painting the metal “H” cart I scored from work years back. It’s the original cart used for Newsstand, still has the labels on the shelves. The store manager was throwing it out, because a few metal shelves had come apart. A bit of spot welding and it’s as good as new.
I’m going to use it for my books and magazines, then use my decorative wooden shelves for craft supplies.
G’night, Holiday People.
Great day. The ten of us went to the Pinnacles and the white dunes south thereof.

It’s flippin’ amazing how easy it is to take stunningly beautiful photographs these days.
Basically all of the family photographs my parents ever took with their 35 mm cameras are basically rubbish compared to pics one can take now on an ordinary phone. No decent lens, automatic settings … and fantastic pictures.
Took Mrs rb to the bush again today. She goes back to St Vincents this week.

Talked her into sitting on a rock.

Good morning forumers and lurkers and the government spies.
Mr Mutant fnerked his phone completely so is phoneless for the rest of the week until he can get a new one. He charged the battery in his car and the car starts, so that’s one good thing. We’ve had no luck with the washing machine so I will go to my mum’s today to do some washing.
And that’s the Law of Three, whereby things break in 3s. It’s a universal law which cannot be broken (heh).

16.0°C, 76% RH, clear and calm. We had a little rain last night, with the emphasis on little. Too little to measure with the standard bucket, but I won’t have to water the garden, which is a Good Thing.
I’ll go for a walk along the beach today, and charge the battery in my car. Maybe hang a picture or two.

No, actually. Thomas the Tank Engine. She picked up the book at the library having never seen the show nor any associated merchandise, and she loves it. Since having the book, she has seen the show and now requests “Watch trains?” She was stoked yesterday to find a pink Thomas shirt.

It’s really interesting to see how things are gendered and what children respond to. She doesn’t care her pyjamas were found in the boys’ section. She loves Paw Patrol and Thomas the Tank Engine and Peter Rabbit and most of those toys and books are geared towards boys.She also likes Maui, the male character from Moana. She happily wears Maui shirt and matching pants as well as her Moana shirt. In a bid to have a break from Moana, I put on Aladdin and she loves that too.
Similarly, a while ago I read a blog post from a woman whose three year old son loved wearing a tutu. They were confronted by an old man who laughed at the boy and raised his voice to the mother about allowing her son to wear a tutu. The son was in tears wondering why some random douche was saying he shouldn’t be wearing a tutu.

Paw Patrol is still her favourite. She has all the character toys, a personalised book, doona cover, several shirts and three sets of pyjamas (all thanks to my mother).
good morning all. It’s WA day today so we have a public holiday, a little more weekend. Although that isn’t going to stop uni from making us sit in front of the computer for an hour so we can sign up for classes next semester.
I have to get in fast because I have fewer choices of classes offered (no after school, no too early etc) so here I sit until 9am, wasting WA day.. after that, who knows what we’ll waste the day on.

Both my boys loved TtTE, especially the one with e name connection.
It’s muggy hot today. I have been moving books and magazines and shelves and cleaning things and staring into space and listening to music and drinking copious amounts of tea and supervising dogs with stinky marrow bones.
I seriously want to make the Salted Tahini Choc Chip cookies, but need to visit the shops for a few things, but I don’t want to leave the house. Maybe tomorrow.
Mr Groucho Zappa’s father died, he was 92. Regular listeners will remember that Mr GZ’s Papa was living in our house when we bought it, with his lovely, lovely wife – The Pianist, and A Grand Piano. Mr GZ’s Papa was an engineer and did some major work on race track cambers or something.

She also likes the Wiggles but they are strictly limited due to being fucking annoying. My mum bought me a Wiggles CD for use in the car when Missy gets too cranky… There is no fucking way I will ever play that CD. I would rather listen to the screaming. And of course, once she knows I have the CD she will want to listen to it constantly. So no.

I suppose they are the “new Wiggles”? which I get to see sparingly at work… they seem strange and unfamiliar to me and I’ll have no truck with them.
FWIW we used to enjoy the wiggles and went to a couple of concerts which was better than I expected. You should introduce her to “They Might Be Giants” album Here Comes Science.. we enjoyed that one.
No concerts! I know the calibre of people who go to those things, used to serve them at work. I will say those kids were generally better than Disney on fucking Ice kids. Holy shit.

We borrowed a book from the liberry which needs to be returned this week. Little Miss is going to be devastated but I’ve managed to track down the book and just purchased it. I’ll make the transfer later; she insisted on taking the book to daycare today.
A Paw Patrol publication?
No, actually. Thomas the Tank Engine. She picked up the book at the library having never seen the show nor any associated merchandise, and she loves it. Since having the book, she has seen the show and now requests “Watch trains?” She was stoked yesterday to find a pink Thomas shirt.
You seem to be failing in your duty as a mother to enforce gender stereotypes. Don’t you know that TTTE is a boy’s book?

Right, it’s twenty past wine o’clock. A nice, cool, crisp and cheap bottle of plonk awaits me.
We’re having sandwiches for dinner – with potato salad and tiny toms. I’m having heated naan and mr kii is having his usual crap’o‘tastic bread.

Kewl. this is up on the top of the hill. Directly below is a lovely waterfall but it didn’t have any water and walking up the hill is easier than traversing the creek bed for older people.

Buffy buys wings for her dogs,
What’s the word for the assumptions you make when something is presented in a certain way? I know there’s a word for it.
For example, someone buys a property assuming that the surrounding area is also theirs. There is a pool in the front yard with bushland all around. There is a fence near the road. Neighbouring developers want the road widened to accommodate their development, meaning the pool would need to be removed. Pool owners, who recently bought property, claim that the appearance of the street / recent sales spiel etc… (what’s the word?)

Yes. Vets always say to give dogs raw chicken bones. Good for cleaning the teeth.
Scarlett became quite sick after we brought her home from rescue. It was so bad she pooed blood :(
Vet said we changed her diet too quickly. She had been on a diet of Pal and I was too eager to get her onto better food.
Maybe 2 chicken carcasses were just one too many?

yes. my kids are going to have to be latch key kids for half an hour on one day… and I have to change some other activities to compensate the other times. I have such a small window of ‘choices’ but so be it…
Sibeen,
Bloke next door has lent me his solar battery charger. Supposedly for 12 V lead acid batteries. It seems to put out around 50 mA at 21V . Does that need regulation back to the 13.7-14.2 V that cars normally use? Or can it be used as is (without damaging the car’s battery)?

That’s probably the open circuit voltage of the solar cells. Put it across your battery and then measure.

Sorry, but I don’t know that one. Is it providing the 21V when it’s connected to your solar panels, or is it getting power from elsewhere? The low current is a bit of a surprise; it should be able to provide amps to tens of amps (depending on the design specs.)

If you connect the panel to the charger (in the sun) what voltage appears on the charger’s output? It should be of the order of 15V. Also, how did you measure the current?

When I give Scarlett a bone she looks terribly awkward. She will not make eye contact, does a strange casual walk-by a few times, then sniffs it a few times on the way past, then finally approaches it and eats it. This can all take up to 10 minutes.
She’s a kelpie.

I fed my red cattle dog with raw chook wings or necks. She loved them and her farts were like the savory odour of baking chicken.
She also got finely grated veg and some fruits.

Not really sure, might just be her little game. Perhaps she needs to convince herself it is dead. If she’s always done it, I’d not be too bothered about it.

When I give Scarlett a bone she looks terribly awkward. She will not make eye contact, does a strange casual walk-by a few times, then sniffs it a few times on the way past, then finally approaches it and eats it. This can all take up to 10 minutes.
She’s a kelpie.
Grace does weird things like that sometimes.
Today they both got slightly off marrow bones. Both were in heaven, I think Grace’s face aches from all the chewing, gnawing and licking.
I’ve cooled down somewhat. I’ll go outside and prune a rose or two, maybe move some more bricks. There is a whole chimney’s worth to move, so I’m doing it three or four wheelbarrow loads at a time.

I fed my red cattle dog with raw chook wings or necks. She loved them and her farts were like the savory odour of baking chicken.
She also got finely grated veg and some fruits.

In our back yard there is a very vicious, old large beef bone. It was around when Buschka was still with us. It’s quite white and old now. Bruna has to kill it sometimes. She picks it up, throws it, chases it, kills it, throws it, chases it….it’s amazing what endless fun you can have with a grotty old bone. And then you have to go and bury it for next time…

Not really sure, might just be her little game. Perhaps she needs to convince herself it is dead. If she’s always done it, I’d not be too bothered about it.

If you connect the panel to the charger (in the sun) what voltage appears on the charger’s output? It should be of the order of 15V. Also, how did you measure the current?
So the charge controller’s built into the panel, and your neighbour’s lent you the whole thing? As sibeen suggests, try connecting the wires to the battery, and measure the current. Check that it’s going into the battery.

I reckon I read somewhere that grapes were bad for dogs. I can’t remember where. I tend to the idea that they are natural scavengers and probably survive most tastings. I’d not let them get too much dark chocolate, but I’m not afraid to give a full grown Boxer a Freddo frog.

Lunch: Was going to have some more octopus but there was none left in the jar, just the juice. So I had a gobful of octopus juice.
Then I had five large smoked mussels which weren’t terribly pleasing. They weren’t bad, but they weren’t terribly pleasing.
So then I had a couple slices of smoked cheddar which were a bit fatty.

That’s normal, and the battery will bring it down. Batteries need current to charge, so the charger’s voltage needs to be higher than battery’s. As sibeen suggested that’s the panel’s open circuit voltage, which will be brought down when it’s loaded.

Yes. Vets always say to give dogs raw chicken bones. Good for cleaning the teeth.
Scarlett became quite sick after we brought her home from rescue. It was so bad she pooed blood :(
Vet said we changed her diet too quickly. She had been on a diet of Pal and I was too eager to get her onto better food.
Maybe 2 chicken carcasses were just one too many?
I have found Pal makes dogs fart often and very smelly. Goodness knows what they put in it.

Funding towards science is way too broad anyway. I’d like more funding directed to cane-toad control and eradication, that counts as “science” too but is not nearly so sexy as big rockets.

The style of this video won’t please everyone
Does the Left Hate Free Speech? (Part 1) – ContraPoints
At the bottom level there are social restrictions, for instance in a lot of social pressure in certain communities not to be racist, sexist, homophobic and so on, and though not formal rules, these norms can have a silencing effect and place a de facto limitation on the things people are willing to say. For instance conservatives and classical liberals are constantly complaining to me about how the words transphobe, racist, islamophobe and so on are being used to silence them, and in a sense they’re kind of right. I mean people are saying those things to you because they want you to stop saying what you’re saying. Of course, this is pretty microscopic as far as restrictions on free speech go. So I guess you might say it’s a sort of free speech microaggression, right? And that is what it is. It’s a subtle indirect way of trying to get you not to say a certain thing. So, great, I want to congratulate the conservatives on independently discovering the idea of microaggressions. But if you’re willing to grant that words like islamophobia can have a silencing effect, you should also be willing to grant that small acts of racism, sexism, homophobia and so on can likewise suppress the speech of marginalised people.For instance I constantly hear from women, trans, and gender-non-conforming people that they’ve thought of making Youtube videos but they just don’t want to deal with the hate, the trolls, the constant misogyny, and attacks on gender identity, the public shaming, and genderqueer and feminist cringe compilations and so they just avoid speaking up on youtube altogether. So in a sense these people are being silenced by the misogynistic and transphobic atmosphere, in the same way your average Youtube shitlord would probably feel pretty alone and silenced in a gender studies class with nineteen women complaining about sexist men.
Now when I bring this up with classical liberals, they uniformly respond, “If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. The internet’s just like that. Why can’t you just deal with it.”
To which I respond, “Why can’t you just deal with being called a racist on college campuses. Academia’s just like that.” And whatever you say to that, there’s the answer to your question.”

Damn, this means the Apollo landings were real.
chargers and regulators aren’t necessarily the same thing
simplest charger will direct connect SPs to battery (micropower relay, MOS device or whatever/low R-on*), charge for a period, disconnect and look at terminal voltage on battery, and if it drops to some threshold then reconnect (simple, but a good way of viewing the idea). Also means at low light, that if SP output is too low to run charger circuit + charge battery it’ll disconnect.
*a device with a low voltage drop so power losses are low across it, I x V = W and all that.
of other simple ways..
there’re shunt regulators too, that just hold the voltage down like a zener (sometimes it is a zener diode, or uses one as a voltage reference), those type generate heat.

oh that doesn’t matter, i’m just saying it’s good as O/C, no load, so SP voltage goes way up.

Also means at low light, that if SP output is too low to run charger circuit + charge battery it’ll disconnect.
*a device with a low voltage drop so power losses are low across it, I x V = W and all that.
of other simple ways..
there’re shunt regulators too, that just hold the voltage down like a zener (sometimes it is a zener diode, or uses one as a voltage reference), those type generate heat.
I was just worried that the panel voltage, at 22 V was too high for the battery. Car manufacturers specify charging voltage to be 13.7 – 14.2 V.

Yeah, I used a digital multimeter this time. I’ll go check what resistance it has.oh that doesn’t matter, i’m just saying it’s good as O/C, no load, so SP voltage goes way up.
what a lovely day out there… we went for a walk with the dog and ended up having a late lunch at the local beer garden with the dog hidden underneath the table because of their strict no dogs policy.
Several of the staff came out at various times to bring our meals or drinks and give the dog some leftovers… so that was nice.
And I came home to find out that I have gained a HD (just by the skin of my teeth) in my last assignment.
So all round a lovely day and some good family time…

Does the Left Hate Free Speech? (Part 1) – ContraPoints
At the bottom level there are social restrictions, for instance in a lot of social pressure in certain communities not to be racist, sexist, homophobic and so on, and though not formal rules, these norms can have a silencing effect and place a de facto limitation on the things people are willing to say. For instance conservatives and classical liberals are constantly complaining to me about how the words transphobe, racist, islamophobe and so on are being used to silence them, and in a sense they’re kind of right. I mean people are saying those things to you because they want you to stop saying what you’re saying. Of course, this is pretty microscopic as far as restrictions on free speech go. So I guess you might say it’s a sort of free speech microaggression, right? And that is what it is. It’s a subtle indirect way of trying to get you not to say a certain thing. So, great, I want to congratulate the conservatives on independently discovering the idea of microaggressions. But if you’re willing to grant that words like islamophobia can have a silencing effect, you should also be willing to grant that small acts of racism, sexism, homophobia and so on can likewise suppress the speech of marginalised people.For instance I constantly hear from women, trans, and gender-non-conforming people that they’ve thought of making Youtube videos but they just don’t want to deal with the hate, the trolls, the constant misogyny, and attacks on gender identity, the public shaming, and genderqueer and feminist cringe compilations and so they just avoid speaking up on youtube altogether. So in a sense these people are being silenced by the misogynistic and transphobic atmosphere, in the same way your average Youtube shitlord would probably feel pretty alone and silenced in a gender studies class with nineteen women complaining about sexist men.
Now when I bring this up with classical liberals, they uniformly respond, “If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. The internet’s just like that. Why can’t you just deal with it.”
To which I respond, “Why can’t you just deal with being called a racist on college campuses. Academia’s just like that.” And whatever you say to that, there’s the answer to your question.”
Why should anyone be emotionally abused on campus or in public?
It just as bad as physical abuse.
So should be treated like abuse.

The Fair Work Commission announced this afternoon that penalty rates cuts for Sunday workers in the retail, hospitality, pharmacy and fast food sectors will start on July 1 but not be fully implemented until 2019 or 2020, depending on the industry.Just in case there’s any doubt in your mind that your industry is dead in the water…
It’s nice when they target the lowest paid industries, their will be massive gains in employment…never…
Yep. Quite clever that they’re bringing it in over a three-year period. If they brought the full cuts in all at once the whole workforce would likely walk out.

Readings:Disconnected from battery: 22.3V, 33mA.
Connected to battery: 33mA. Battery voltage – 12.36V.
OK, that battery voltage is rather low, so it’s quite discharged. Is that 33mA into the battery? If so, it’s charging, but very slowly. That could be a quality of the charger. If not, it’s discharging the battery and should be disconnected. Does the controller have charge modes (boost, float, etc)?

MV, sorry I had to rush out to a meeting. Just connect the charger to the battery and then measure the voltage. Actually, measure the voltage on the battery before you connect the charger and then do another measurement after you’ve connected.

>>>If not, it’s discharging the battery and should be disconnected.
I only connected it for a few minutes to take the measurements. It’s currently disconnected.
>>>Does the controller have charge modes (boost, float, etc)?
No. It’s just a solar panel with two wires coming from it. No controller that I can see. No LEDs, no switches etc. It’s supposed to be a trickle charger just to keep the battery topped up.
The situation is that I rarely use the vehicle, so I re-charge the battery once a month. (Hence the neighbour thrusting the solar panel at me.) I’d like to use the car more regularly, but I don’t trust it, because it has a misfire which I haven’t been in a position to try to fix.

Shouldn’t be. It’s had two days charging with my old 240V —> 12 V battery charger. Started at 3.5 amps and dropped to below 2 amps in the first 6 hours, which is about normal. Perhaps I didn’t read the meter properly. I’d better check it again tomorrow.>>>Is that 33mA into the battery?

Far too many people these days, it will likely get worse before it gets better. You can see how things will be left to robots, who would then have the opportunity to take over, as nobody will want to go back to how it was.

I have a retail question (which I don’t know the answer to because I do things differently): Suppose I purchase something like a TV set from a shop such as Big W. I pay for the item using a debit card. Now, suppose I return the TV set claiming it doesn’t work. Can I get the refund either as cash or deposited to a different debit card?

Only to the original debit card I think.
Zardoz was the fellow with the lists.
Zarkov was the Tasmanian “local scientist”.
Zardoz was also a 1974 film starring Sean Connery
The title comes from The Wizard of Oz.

In my experience they “reverse” the transaction, which in my example meant they return money to the account from where it came, I didn’t ask for it to be redirected though.

depends i guess because some people are given a gift with the receipt for warranty and therefore they do not have the original card for the refund to be re-credited to.

They will usually require that refunds go back onto the same card that the original purchase was made from.
I have my credit and debit accounts linked to the same card. Whilst I usually make purchases like this using my credit card, I will select “savings” on the EFTPOS machine and it goes into there. Occasionally, store staff know these tricks and pre-select the account type before handing the machine over.

The first part (same card) is both understandable and reasonable.
However, i don’t think that the store has any right to dictate which of your accounts should receive the refund. By the action of refunding it, they’re declaring that it’s your money once again and not theirs,and they can exercise no say over which of the accounts attached to the card receives it. It’s your money , it should go where you say it should.

I’m sure if you look more closely, you will find that their refund policy states that the same account on the same card needs to be selected.
Merchants pay hefty fees to credit card providers and these fees are refunded to them when refunds are processed.

It would be reasonable to expect them to refund money to the account it came from, anything beyond that it getting problematic for me. You can’t just say where you want money to go, it has to be as quick and painless for them as the original transaction, they ain’t your account managers.

But why should a retailer have to spend more time and care in returning your money than you did in spending it.
You asked for money back and to a different account, some retail numpty now has to put in a string of numbers and do your banking for you, say a number is transposed?
You can insist on replacement or refund only when the item has a ‘major problem’.
When that’s established, it’s your right under law to obtain a refund. The relevant law does not provide any exemption from the consumer’s right to a refund based on any policy promoted by the supplier, even if the ‘consumer’ is the recipient of the supplied goods as a gift.
See Sections 259 to 267 of the Australian Consumer Law.

I dont really care.. I rarely shop for stuff apart from food and even more rarely have to take things back… meh
AwesomeO said:

Because if it’s got to the stage where a refund is relevant, then it’s because of a ‘major failure’ in the goods supplied. The supplier has failed in their part of the contract – to supply goods that are suitable for the purpose for which they’re advertised or sold – so the ‘more time and care’ is something they will have to bear in applying the remedy.

Because if it’s got to the stage where a refund is relevant, then it’s because of a ‘major failure’ in the goods supplied. The supplier has failed in their part of the contract – to supply goods that are suitable for the purpose for which they’re advertised or sold – so the ‘more time and care’ is something they will have to bear in applying the remedy.
“they will have to bear”? Says who? Is that punitive?
If a refund of money is necessary then returning money to the source is the fairest for all. You want the funds in a different account that is your lookout, a retailer refunding money is not responsible for your financial affairs or to shuttle money about, just to return the same amount spent to the same account it recieved it from.

I agree.. steak is something that should be enjoyed occasionally, and it should be a good steak so it can be enjoyed. The trouble is it’s very expensive, luckily for us this steak was on special last week so I went ahead and bought some… we will have chicken and fish for the next couple of nights and possibly a vegetarian dish to follow…. luckily for me, my kids eat whatever I serve up to them as long as it’s not spicy

Tonight’s Rivals of Sherlock Holmes is Anonymous Letters, featuring the dashing Austrian detective Dagobert Trostler.It’s a bit dull compared with last night’s but there are some fetching interiors.
I’ve read several of the stories from that series (they were published as a series of compilation volumes as a tie-in with the series), and they introduced me to Max Carrados and Prof. van Dusen; I’ve also got some books from the authors of the stories used. The stories were published around the same time as Conan Doyle published the Holmes stories, but featured different sleuths or criminals — some of the stories were told from the criminals’ POV, and had them getting away with their crimes (and there were some good gimmicks in those stories, too.) The story of the Moabite cypher has stuck with me, but I won’t tell you what happened :)

No, it’s not punitive. It’s something that they’ll have to do, just part of the process. We were talking, i believe, about directing the refund not to e.g. a debit account attached to a card, but to another account attached to the same card. This is hardly a dreadful process – the push of a button or two.
Having failed in their part of the contract, and having caused the customer the inconvenience of having to pursue a remedy with their store, isn’t if fair that the supplier go to a little bit of trouble in the process? Wouldn’t that just be good customer relations, when dealing with a customer who you’ve failed?

Well worth getting the series on DVD, they’re beautifully done and feature some excellent actors of the time (1971-1973).

It might be good customer relations but I am not addressing what might be good customer relations. I was talking about the refunding of money and basically I don’t think you can be compelled to do more than refund it in the same manner as you recieved it, which is entirely reasonable, and to do more might invite additional problems.

Well, if someone is the kind of customer who wants to demand that sort of ‘extra effort’ from the store that’s making a refund (i think it’d be pretty rare), and if there’s genuine reasons for the store not doing it, then the customer probably should expect some sort of explanation from the store as to why they’d rather not do that – quite likely for the reasons you’ve given.
If they’re not happy with that, the store might offer them the refund in cash, with the advice that the customer can now direct it to anywhere they want.
Recently I stayed in a hotel where they wanted a $200 “deposit” in case I cleaned out the bar fridge, or something. Some other hotels only pre charge $1 to a credit/debit card. Anyway, when I left, having not touched the bar fridge they returned the $200 to me so I asked if I could have it as cash. They told me as I had used a card to pay it at the start, they had to put it back on my card. No drama, I just took $200 out of the same account at the next ATM I came across…

Over 2 million of them are ex-pats or guest workers, working in construction or oil and gas.
I think my point was that the refund went back into the account it came out of and it was no big deal as I could access the funds and, if I so chose, put them into another account. On this occasion though, there was shopping to be done…

It’s certainly not unreasonable for them to put the refund back on the card. Probably saves them emptying the petty cash tin completely.
It’s all well and good, when the original card is available. In the case of goods given as a gift (ideally, with some accompanying proof of purchase), that original card may not be available, but the consumer’s right to a refund for goods with a ‘major defect’ still stands.
Then the refund will have to go elsewhere.

The retailer is charged a fee for the use of the credit card and they would need to get that refunded too. To issue a credit, then redirect it to another account would likely be something they could not do without involving other people. Why the customer cannot accept the credit and if required change it from one account to another. However, the chances then of being charged a fee would probably be very high and to deposit fresh funds would make it much simpler. It would be easier for all concerned to just accept the refund back into the original account.

Don’t think refunds are available, unless maybe returned by the original purchaser who would need to produce the receipt and then funds would be returned via that account.

On Friday afternoon I noticed that the benefits section of my online account has been removed and a quick check revealed that no pay out has been made. And again today….It’s only a measly few hundred bucks and I don’t really need it, but faaaark. What if I was counting on it to pay a bill or for food like so many of their younger workers are?

Clear and blue here. No sign of the big frosts we’ve had recently. They’ll be back in a couple of days though.
Good morning Holidayers. We have 6 degrees. There was some precipitation during the night. I have a ute load of redgum firewood to move, some tomatoes to pull out and some mowing to do (if it dries out a bit later).

Sorry, this is not the t word. This is just the next chapter in the life of a convicted criminal on parole.
So, did you lot sort out the refund/credit/debit card thing? Very rarely someone cannot use some glasses that I prescribe and supply. Without being too big headed, this is usually people who have unrealistic expectations and cannot be persuaded to have reasonable ones. I do not need them in my life, so I refund and suggest they seek someone else to be their optometrist. Many people pay my company for their glasses by credit/debit card. On the occasion that it is necessary to refund, as my company is paper based, they get given a cheque. They can do what they like with it.

You get a lot of rubbish on the net although this does have some basis in fact.
What actually happens with dreadnaught steel is that once submerged over ~0.25 leagues under the sea a membrane is formed on the skin facilitating the ionic osmotic transfer of alpha particles at the molecular level which increases the ferric carbon bonding making the steel more resistant to plastic deformation.
As for the nuclear medicinal properties I think that’s just woo.

You can increase monitoring of people who you have good reason to believe are or might become terrorists and repress freedoms where the likely benefit exceeds the value of the freedoms lost.
You can increase the promotion of a rational approach to all religions in schools.
For those school pupils who remain committed to religions that have sects that promote terrorist activity, you can promote the moderate majority view as being the one true way to eternal life.
I’m sure there are many other things that can be done.
Non-terrorist violence seems a much bigger and more intractable problem to me.

If you and a bunch of mates got together and decide to go out and kill people and not care you died in the process and in actual fact wanted to die what could any authority do to stop you (besides killing you before you did too much damage) Society seems to breed violence of which religion plays a big part even for the fact it tells you this life is transitory and doesn’t matter. You’d need to reengineer our entire way of life to stop violence, perhaps even make us less aggressive as a species

my mind was completely cleansed of all creeping social devices and dependencies that lend to over-extensions of reality as social construction, in fact by the end of the episode so convinced I was of never needing be entertained ever again i’d smashed the screen and was about to cut my wrists with a shard of glass, at which time the lady came in and put her hands on my head and I broadcasted some nice thoughts of love.

In truth I have a small woodheater. The house is small. It is well insulated. At this time of year I can run it for a few hours and it is warm for 24.
I used to have a grate like that but it disappeared during the demolition of the old shack. Someone one day might go to plant a tree and find it.

I said something similar the other month, where is the common decency party, vested interests no matter what. The way politics works (or doesn’t) is about having one up on the opposition, finding dirt to get ahead, lie in bed with either the unions or big business or some other underhanded tactic to get in power or stay in power.

My comment was not directed at the global warming debacle, but to politics generally. But as for these big international agreements, they have been watered down from the original intent, as to largely make them non-functional in practice. The only plus for the Paris Agreement was that the agenda was set by scientific research, rather than political opinion and ideology. although that factor did enter the picture in no small way.

We have a meat pie for tea. I’m making up tomato and onion pie to eat with it. And for further penance for missing a word play in here this afternoon, I have picked some kale for greens. The red Russian kale is actually not that bad. But you’d never get me juicing such things.
Which reminds me….I’ll pick a handful of oranges and squeeze some juice to have with our tea.

Pleasant sunny afternoon in the end, but heading for -1 tonight.For dinner I’m thinking: pork steak with much the same mix of vegetables I made on Saturday, but in much smaller quantity (viz., diced tater, carrot & parsnip + halved Brussels sprouts mixed with onion & garlic cooked in butter, the whole then combined with a blue cheese sauce).
sunny afternoon here, after a massive fog this morning. (rfds did 6 laps at 3:30am, then decided they’d come back when the fog had lifted at 9)
6 laps of what?
Going round in the air trying to find the airport, I’d expect.

I heard it fly over 6 times, so obviouslt too foggy to see the airfield
Ah.
Tonight’s episode of Rivals of Holmes will be The Moabite Cypher. And after that I might start watching Downfall if I’m in a sufficiently apocalyptic mood.
Tonight’s wine will be a Stonyfell 1858 Langhorne Creek Shiraz 2015, but right now I’m drinking bubbly to bring up the wind.

Simplicity itself. Plain flour whisked into melted butter, add whole milk, splash of cream, most of a chopped wedge of blue cheese. Stir until cheese melts, add a good shake of white pepper.

I’m cooking tonight. Re-cooked rice (sesame oil, cinnamon) with chicken pieces and slivered almonds. And steamed veges on a heated yoghurt-tomato paste blend with cumin, chilli and a few other bits and pieces.

We’re having lamb shanks. Out of sherry, so instead used red wine. It just wasn’t right.
“I know!”, I said. “Let’s add some of this red wine vinegar. That’ll do it!”. Have tried to balance the vinegar out with a little brown sugar.
Hmmm…we’ll try it soon.

The 29-year-old suspect, who was on parole, was holed up in one of the ground floor apartments with a shotgun and the female escort, and called the Channel Seven newsroom, stating: “This is for IS, this is for al-Qaeda”.
Didn’t he ring a TV station before the crime was committed claiming that he was doing it in the name of ISIS.

probably. but here we are talking about a particular person. you know, has he a history of supporting ISIS etc? has he talked about doing violence in the name of allah? before this event. just because he says he did it for ISIS or whoever doesn’t mean he truly did.

Talking about terrorism, I’m getting back to The Moabite Cypher. A running man who’s just been killed by a rearing police horse during a royal parade was thought to be an anarchist carrying a bomb, but it turned out to be a large pork pie.
It’s another Dr Thorndyke one but with a different actor playing the good Dr.

I’m leaning this way. He certainly seems to ft the mould better for drug-using violent criminal and head-fucked nutter than religious terrorist. Some of the former do plot themselves a sort of suicide by police type event, ringing the TV station and claiming to be ISIS might have been an afterthought or some attempt at notoriety.

then you have the ‘‘escaping steam” on spaceships. why?
Why? Continue to accelerate until you are half way there then start decelerating…
One could take the idea further and look at religious fanatics under the fMRI,
various criminals like serial killers, pedophiles,
suicide bombers, if you can get them.
Atm I think there is not enough research.

yes there is that possibility. but these are trips where the crew is in ‘statis” and it is like 4 years into the journey.
Don’t forget to mention the noise on the outside of the craft…
Apart from the acceleration and braking maybe the engines need to be run to provide power for all the systems. Maybe future fusion engines are hard to close down then restart so the trips are planned with power all the way.
Plus on a film it looks cool.

well, if you want to keep a 1g environment then you only have about a year before you get to lightspeed. and that ain’t going to happen. plus the craft is always facing forwards and going forwards so you never see them going backwards to decelerate even when the destination is in sight.

A small poser. http://mb.nawcc.org/showthread.php?143393-Is-This-a-Clock&p=1118622#post1118622
Pardon the intrusion, but I’d like the benefit of folks with a lot of clock experience in assisting the European police agency EUROPOL in identifying objects that appear in a set of child porn images. The problem is to determine where the images were likely made, and associations of objects with regions can help. Nothing else has produced leads in this case.
The object pictured sat on a night stand. I suspect it may be a ceiling projection clock of a fairly early sort, without external dial. I suspect this because the bezel on to is appropriate size for a lens bezel on such a clock. And after sharpening the image as much as it will stand, it looks like the is a projecting gear that works with a geared knob in a way that could be used to set internal wheels with numbers to be projected. It also has, to me, a look suggesting Bakelite.
This may be entirely wrong, but I think it worth asking if anyone has seen this object and has any information about it, particularly where in the world it is likely to be found. If it helps, other images suggest the location experiences heavy snow and has pine forests.
Of course, if you know it is something else or that it is definitely not a clock, I’d like to know that and pass it on. Thank you. This is, at this point, less about making a case and more about rescuing the children, which is why EUROPOL risked losing evidence in favor of rescue.

There would be quite a few in jail now yes?
Put them all in a bunker and allow them to play with some leaky gelignite.

Some do get caught before they blow themselves up.
Probably why you spelt it wrong too…
tie = twin ion engines
Then they are not suicide bombers…
I would think space warfare would result in cloaked small very high speed projectiles. Lasers would be no good as an ablative surface or BBQ roll could defeat them. On the other hand without air resistance small projectiles would be easy to accelerate to very high speeds, and to combat the very large distances involved you would need a scatter gun approach so that in the time it takes to hit, the vehicle would still be splashed.

Lamb shanks were very tasty, albeit a little tough. They were not slow-cooked for most of the day, as they should have been. They were accompanied with a saffron risotto, but the usual accompaniment of cooked pears, well, I couldn’t be bothered with tonight. Besides. I forgot to buy pears.

A small poser. http://mb.nawcc.org/showthread.php?143393-Is-This-a-Clock&p=1118622#post1118622Pardon the intrusion, but I’d like the benefit of folks with a lot of clock experience in assisting the European police agency EUROPOL in identifying objects that appear in a set of child porn images. The problem is to determine where the images were likely made, and associations of objects with regions can help. Nothing else has produced leads in this case.
The object pictured sat on a night stand. I suspect it may be a ceiling projection clock of a fairly early sort, without external dial. I suspect this because the bezel on to is appropriate size for a lens bezel on such a clock. And after sharpening the image as much as it will stand, it looks like the is a projecting gear that works with a geared knob in a way that could be used to set internal wheels with numbers to be projected. It also has, to me, a look suggesting Bakelite.
This may be entirely wrong, but I think it worth asking if anyone has seen this object and has any information about it, particularly where in the world it is likely to be found. If it helps, other images suggest the location experiences heavy snow and has pine forests.
Of course, if you know it is something else or that it is definitely not a clock, I’d like to know that and pass it on. Thank you. This is, at this point, less about making a case and more about rescuing the children, which is why EUROPOL risked losing evidence in favor of rescue.

Perhaps because in enhancement the lens has what appears to be a knob like appearance. I think he meant a timer, without a dial. The dial being the knob. But what pedophiles would be timing, does perplex me.

If you ask me, the thing on top is a latch that when turned, allows the lid to be lifted off.
I had a thought that the thing on top may be separate, a wedding ring maybe? But then why would “they” take of their wedding ring?
Well, The Moabite Cypher was rather creaky but it did star Peter Sallis from Last of the Summer Wine and Wallace & Gromit, who died yesterday aged 96.
And Barrie Ingham as Dr Thorndyke, who also played the Major in one of my favourite mid-60s Brit sci-fis, Invasion. And Julian Glover, who’s been in umpteen things.
No women at all in this episode, which is very odd.

My Dad had (probably still does have) a very old slide projector. Had a single electric light globe inside. Damn thing used to get hot, damned hot. The slides were cartoons on painted glass, we never put the plastic slide in there. Also the slides slide into a gap between the outside of the box and the back of the lens. The lens was also a tube about 10 cm long that slid in and out to adjust the focus. I see nowhere to insert slides or to adjust the focus of the lens in the pic of this object. So I will say not a projector.

There are two slots in the top at back, center, behind the lens but they are not horizontal to the lens.

perhaps its a remote digital camera made to look like something else

Russian intelligence agents hacked a US voting systems manufacturer in the weeks leading up to last year’s presidential election, according to the Intercept, citing what it said was a highly classified National Security Agency (NSA) report.
The revelation coincided with the arrest of Reality Leigh Winner, 25, a federal contractor from Augusta, Georgia, who was charged with removing classified material from a government facility and mailing it to a news outlet.
The hacking of senior Democrats’ email accounts during the campaign has been well chronicled, but vote-counting was thought to have been unaffected, despite concerted Russian efforts to penetrate it.

All this talk of boiled eggs has made me peckish but I’m still full up from dinner so I’ll just have a single Italian anchovy.
And then start watching Downfall but if it proves too much, I’ll re-watch Invasion* for the umpteenth time.
*Invasion is a 1966 low-budget British sci-fi film, directed by Alan Bridges for producer Jack Greenwood of Merton Park Studios.
The film was written by Roger Marshall from a storyline by Robert Holmes. Holmes later re-used elements of his storyline in a 1970 Doctor Who serial entitled Spearhead from Space, which introduced Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor.

Whilst I’m sure Spicer was rabbiting on, how anyone could be particularly amazed about the facial expressions of a left leaning press core listening to a Republican representative?
Blaaah…I feel a bit ill.
Went back to sleep for a few hours. Still feel erky.
I’m supposed to be sanding and undercoating some metal shelves today.

A quick few hours at B&N would probably perk you up.
You should probably go in and volunteer a few hours gratis. It’d make you feel good.

We did go in last week and I looked for a magazine in the Newsstand area. I nearly shrieked loudly when I saw the utter devastation, but mr kii clamped a hand over my mouth and dragged me out via the nearest exit.

Nup, I’m closing it down. Another optometrist has opened in town (with my blessing, although I doubt it is viable for the number of days a week he is doing and I don’t know how some of my oldies will take to him – I didn’t tell him that last bit!) so I can just do my three days a week in Hamilton until I am 60.
I’m off. I’ll pop back in here tonight. I don’t t think I’ll have time during the day, the appointments are all booked out.

Morning, 3.1, ken cold and windy.
I’m wondering why Constable Brett Forte has been celebritised with a televised funeral. Other cops slain on duty aren’t usually afforded the same treatment.
Fun fact: he was a student of a high school near me.
Morning.
11.5°C, 55% RH, clear and almost calm. Yesterday was on and off cloudy all day, so I couldn’t test the solar panel properly. I put picture wire on two pictures, and discovered that even gentle use of a screwdriver hurts my hernia. So now screwing for me. No spannering either. We walked to the beach and talked to the lifeguard. The water was so beautiful and glassy.
He had caught several whiting yesterday morning. We are going down this morning to see whether we can catch some.

32 years ago I bought a stainless steel kettle for the stove. That was great buy on reflection. It sits on a trivet on the firebox. Every now and then I put some water in it if I think I need some humidity. It comes into its own every blackout.

Which brand?
Any brand.
I was told they were 10 or 20 grand.. which is why I asked which brand.. or indeed what you mean by a wood stove.

The big AGA/Rayburn style wood stoves (of the kind we had in South Mole Creek) that provide full cooking capacities and hot water are generally very expensive.

Yes they can get expensive, the ones made of steel from salvaged old ships pre 1945 for example.
Mind you wood stove/heaters are very expensive to run unless you have your own supply of wood.
The redoubt has more wood than you can throw a stick at, if you had to buy it all the time it would get very expensive indeed.

They are also, in my opinion, rubbish :)
Filthy devices that need to be constantly fed, inefficient and hard to control as cookers, and will turn your house into a furnace in summer if you rely on them for hot water.

yeah, we go through about a grand of wood/year
We’d occasionally be given fallen trees the local farmer wanted out of the way (but had to saw it up and take it back ourselves) but more usual was the regular visit from the woodman, to the woodshed outside my house and under the blackwood tree near the parents’ house. Constant money needed plus having to cut & stack it all. Then go out for several wheelbarrows full a day. Madness.
You could always use coal…

The cottage I hired in Scotland a few years ago had a little peat quarry out the back that you could use for fuel.
I never bothered, just used the wood they provided

that’s the outside yard, limestone comes to the surface there, it’ll all thrive with a regular water, or rain!

Calcrete. The soil is naturally hydrophobic at surface level but the water hangs about down in the calcrete level.

You get water dripping on that limestone for a 1000 years and it’ll be all gone.

i have seasonally water logged black clay. You dig a bit of a drainage system, add a bit of manure and handful of dolomite and it growths stuff.
outside yard on otherside is a bit softer and better dirt

The internal walls were unpainted. You might recall the house is built in double brick, the internal walls are wet rendered plaster rather than plasterboard. They recommend giving the plaster some months to cure before painting over it.

Done and dusted. Thirty one (and a half) years of visiting Casterton for consulting. I actually felt a bit sad today. But I have a story.
One of my long term patients, now in his 80s used to run the local hardware etc store, and he was the undertaker too. He took over the business from his father. His father was the builder that built my house in Casterton around 1900. Anyway, B saw the photo I have on the wall of my little house surrounded, including underneath, with flood waters in 1996. He told me that in the 1946 flood, the biggest flood in Casterton since Europeans arrived, his Dad has him swimming around the store room collecting the coffins, which were floating…
Could be Ruminations, well anything beginning with R really, well except Ratsack or Rumbustious, words like that.
The word needs to fit the context obviously.
I’ll get it in time………………………..

I can still smell Babuschka in the dog basket over there. I haven’t washed the blankets yet. I’m a smell oriented sort of person. Particularly for memories. I do know that some people have died (of old age) in the house, and I know which room. But mostly it’s just wind making noises over there. I’m planning on sleeping there on Sunday night. I need to get the garden very tidy. Although I intended to keep it for a few years, there has been an interesting enquiry, and it could move into its next incarnation.

I beat everyone for cold this morning. My car claimed it to be -1 most of the way to Hamilton and then when I headed Northerer to Casterton it was -2 for most of the way. In Casterton itself, which is in a hollow, it was frogs and fost together. And -2. The fog hung around until lunchtime, we got a couple of hours of sun and then the cold crept in again. I lit the bit woodheater at the back of the house and put on the oil columns at the front, and had it quite comfortable by 9.30am. I admit to leaving home at 6.30am to allow that to happen.

It was only coldish here but very hazy from a few controlled burns around the place. It made me want to play the song “Hazy Shade of WInter” a few times.

I prefer The Bangles version.
I like both versions.

Sounds lovely.
Safe from MOFO here. There were quite a few posts on my facebook that did indeed enjoy it. I wonder how they will feel about after a few days?
Aye, and you can’t turn it off.
Sounds a bit melancholy.

So how many punters on the last day?
I had 10 booked in. Three didn’t show up. I normally have 9 appointments for 9.30 to 4.00pm. We had squished in my retired funeral director because he’s a nice man.

Wow, the original is more than 50 years old! The Bangles version, although I loved it as a teen, added little to it as it was such a good song to begin with.

Yeah I guess, they cannot bill Medicare and they can’t access your accounts to suck it out. I suppose the only sanction they might have it to ask them to find another doctor as you will no longer treat them.

We don’t phone remind the day before appointments. We treat people as adults who can organize their lives. However, as we work with the elderly, we ask people who habitually miss, or who are vague, if they would like us to phone them the day before. If they want it, they get it.
You mention something there that is very open to abuse. As I have people’s Medicare numbers recorded on their records, there really is nothing to stop me running a few extra random bulkbills through the machine. Except that it is illegal. And if you get caught, you really get caught.

That seems to be changing and with potential for fraud. It used to be that you pay the gap, a while later a letter arrives with a cheque that you forward to the doctor. Now it seems a lot of them are going for full payment and Medicare (to their credit) will reimburse the amount less the gap direct to your account, in my instances they have credited the account the same day.
But if you don’t get letters and cheques as another check there might be issues.
I see my local GP once a month for blood tests, sometimes more if the pottasium is getting high, I don’t sign anything or do anything, just walk in and out after saying hi to th receptionist. Some potential there.
Also many of the blood checks are done in literally minutes, I walk in, he has the results, tells me all is good or to watch potassium, checks my blood pressure, gives me a script for the next test and done, in and out in about five minutes.

thanks.. I’ve seen it.. they show these things on the crime channel far sooner than commercial TV.. Goodness, ‘raped’ doesn’t even begin to address the torture they put those women through.
on a slightly related note, one of my units next semester will be Criminal Behaviour… I am looking forward to that one.

There is indeed. With the old paper system, you clickclacked the card, filled in the consultation details and got a signature from the patient. You could fill it in manually, but I’m sure you would have been audited if you put in too many that way. Now it is just a matter of tapping in the Medicare number, clicking through the item numbers and hitting OK. Anyone can do that. To me it is a lot more open to abuse.

Emmy Ingeborg Brun, a Danish Mars enthusiast and socialist, was intrigued by Lowell’s vision of the planet’s infrastructure, which she thought was evidence of a radically different cooperative Martian social order. In 1909, Brun adapted Lowell’s maps and sketches into this handcrafted wooden globe. On the bronze base, Brun inscribed the socialist slogan “Free Land. Free Trade. Free Men,” as well as a quote from the Lord’s Prayer: “Thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven.”

Reporting in via back up internet.
Still no cable teev and house wifi etc.
Saw doc for blood test results. Still low on B12.
Bought a potted chrysanthemum for Groucho Zappa and took it over to the house with a card, he wasn’t home (which I planned on) left it with his wife and daughter. Really wanted to ask how they felt about Groucho voting for the orange dumpster fire.

Morning pilgrims.
I have a bag with some chocolate frogs in it.
The first person to guess how many chocolate frogs in the bag can have both of them.
One…
Well that was unexpected.
In the ongoing saga with my old job, the new me lodged a formal complaint last week against my old boss. I got dragged into it because of the shit she’d inherited (through no fault of her own) and I spilled everything: I left because of the boss, not because I had another job like I told them. The Big Boss came up last week to “have a chat” with all my staff, the new me and the boss.
The new me just texted me: my boss just resigned!

isn’t it always the case, the exciting things happen when you’ve left.
If only I’d stuck around…
I figured that he was being cryptic:
“I have a bag with some chocolate frogs in it.
The first person to guess how many chocolate frogs in the bag can have both of them.”
And the two parts of the “both” were the bag and the frog in the bag. Guess correctly and you get both the bag and the frog within…
Did you ever make a formal complaint?

Mine was filed on top of all the other ones that no one did anything about.
Maybe it was the act of your resignation that precipitated the action after the next formal complaint…

It was apparently a shock to boss that I resigned. I didn’t want to burn my bridges then so I told her I had another job. I was the second to resign just from my store; two more followed me. More from other stores. The complaint I made was at the beginning of the year and no one ever said anything about it. After I handed my notice, boss told everyone else what a good job I was doing and she was shattered to see me go. Never said anything to me. I never got so much as a “good luck with your life”, never mind a card or present like she gave the other person from my store who left two weeks before I resigned.
I’ve been hearing from my friends at the store since I left about the crap that’s been going on, and I’ve always said I would back them up if needed. Well, I was needed last week and shit hit the fan. Now we can all move on with our lives.
…And I have an interview with a recruiter next week.
Greetings

Resigned or given the push? Pity you couldn’t have been a fly on the wall.
I imagine she was given the option to resign. They aren’t big on firing people there; years ago there was a guy who was stealing and everyone knew it. He was given “indefinite suspension without pay”.
Anyway even with her gone it’s still a doughnut job, so you’re still better off looking for something less doughnutty :)
Hey, Brisbane people..I’m sending a letter to a GPO box in Brisbane. Is the postcode 4000?

Claim the stress means you can’t look at a doughnut without getting the shakes and ask for compensation, imagine if you wanted to be a cop and it prevented you from doing so

Don’t tell anyone but I’ve never been a fan of doughnuts. Only ever had cinnamon ones til I worked there.

West Australian town with lowest toddler vaccination rate revealed
Before opening the link, I had a guess, turns out I was right. But my other guess would be that most people would say the same place…
So far the only interesting bits have been that everyone who posts something online is considered a publisher, and is liable for their own content as well as comments posted on their page, and that even if something is posted from (say) New York, it is considered published in the place where you read it.

This morning I was awakened by a greying couple from the suburbs. They were looking for the block for sale. I pointed out where the block next door starts and gave a few landmarks to look out for in regard to boundaries. Turns out he has a portamill and wanted to drop out on weekends and make a wooden house from scratch. I discussed the varying age of standing timber on the property and where to find it.
The property has been on the market for years (and vacant longer..30 years ago there were some people living there in a caravan…) but these people did seem to want something like it. And it is only 20 minutes from where they are living..
There is a chance of closer neighbours.

It would still be aways away. And he can’t mill timber ad infinitum on 6 and a half acres.(I would be interested in reading his plan to council. We are in an environmental protection area now. Further down the road there was a recent swap where the people cleared out a fire risk and got a view..and part of the back of their property got locked up by covenant.)

There is a US skater by the name of Misty Hyman.
If anyone’s interested, they tracked down Reality Winner as the one who’d leaked the documents using some almost invisible yellow dots that most printers print, and that allow “authorities” to determine exactly what printer the document was printed on, and when. See http://blog.erratasec.com/2017/06/how-intercept-outed-reality-winner.html for more information.
And if you’re interested in obtaining a printer that doesn’t print tracking dots, have a look at the Electronic Frontier Foundations list, https://www.eff.org/pages/list-printers-which-do-or-do-not-display-tracking-dots

You’ll need to be here soon. There’s another Langhorne Creek Shiraz on offer this end, bring whatever you like.

OK equipped with a bellyful of rich and tasty pasta, I’m now needing a lay-me-down.
Whether I’ll still be wanting a sci-fi film when I wake up, or just another episode of TROSH, only time will tell.

Well, I was a single parent for a while. That’s un-Australian. It’s usually women who are left bringing up babies babies, not men.
I raced motorbikes for a long, long while. Only claim to motorcycle racing fame was beating Wayne Gardner at a dirt flat-track event at Yass. We were both C-graders at the time. He went on to become world champion. I didn’t. Bugger.
I cook Asian-style food and like it. I can’t run a barbecue. That’s Mrs V’s speciality. My speciality is to entertain the guests with grog and conversation.
I’m a glorified labourer, not a Tradie. I left school at 15 and later put myself through University as a mature age student.
What else? I’ve consumed a lot of EtOH and I forget.
The soccer should be good tonight.
It’s not a must win game as even if we come 3rd in the pool we can still qualify via the repechage.
All the scribes are saying it’s a must win so I’ll go with the flow and pretend it’s a must win.

You do realise that isn’t a good thing, don’t you?
Unusual for a space launch to be brought forward rather than delayed. But that’s what’s happening to NASA’s mission to 16 Psyche, the biggest source of pure metal in the asteroid belt.
https://www.techly.com.au/2017/06/08/nasa-goes-hard-priceless-rock-worth-quadrillions/
Instead of a 2023 liftoff, they are now targeting 2022. It’s made of Fe and Ni – that’s Iron and Nickel for the uninitiated and there is enough of it to send the world economy into a tailspin. It’s called Psyche 16. The accelerated schedule is thanks to a better launch trajectory. This means it needs more power so the NASA chop shop has souped up its solar panels to allow it.
I really like this mission.
Sci-fi buffs will be salivating at the prospect of outer space mining and untold riches but it seems as though that’s a way off. Even though the rocket men are trying to get to the meteor, there is next to nil chance of bringing it back. The spacecraft will be equipped with all sorts of gadgetry. Instruments include an x-band Gravity Science investigator, a multispectral imager and a magnetometer.

Is the world short of iron or nickel? Seems to me it won’t be cheaper than just digging it out of the ground in the outback and sending it to China for processing.
I have mentioned before about how a big chunk of stuff will just depress prices but there is another consideration, what might the insurance costs be of delivering a big chunk of iron to land somewhere.

Just because an asteroid is mostly made of iron and nickel doesn’t mean that it couldn’t also contain high percentages of platinum, osmium, thorium, rhodium, etc.

PS. Depressing prices is good.
For example if manganese nodules are mined then the price of manganese would drop do far as to let manganese alloys rival steel in engineering construction.

Yep, you showed that to us a week ago? It’s linked on this computer. I found I couldn’t read the instructions quickly enough before they started counting.

If you haven’t seen this CPR training game already, you really need to give it a try. Make your kids play it.I used it to train a bunch of very difficult school kids* yesterday, and the attention and learning was amazing.
*Kids with serious learning problems
That looks great, but after about step 5 of the first video it only offered one option, which was wrong. Couldn’t get any further.
I have a recollection of finding one section where what I thought should be wasn’t there. I think it was about there.

Which bit?
It’s the option of which position to put the patient in. The only option offered is to keep him flat on his back.

Impossible to guess. I posted a birthday card to Bubblecar and it took 3 working days. Which is less than the quoted 4 days for low level mail, and it was interstate. Who knows what Australia Post is doing these days.

Yes he was. The option offered was wrong. If I didn’t click on it it timed out, so kept looping back on an endless cycle. I tried clicking on other parts of the screen hoping to find an invisible field, but eventually clicked on the wrong answer. It told me I was a numnut and that I was turning into a murderer.

The normal routine for any patient who is not breathing would be to put them onto their back and start compressions. Are you saying the only option was something different?

Well, hell, he was on his side, not breathing and certainly looking less than the picture of health.
Putting him on his back, opening his airway, and letting you get at his chest for CPR wasn’t likely to make him much worse.

When it came to the CPR timing, i used what the nurse educators at work told me:
‘Stayin’ Alive’
The same timing as when they sing ‘ah-ah-ah-ah stayin’ aliiiive…’

Yes, you’re right. I went back through it to check options again and was offered only that option again. Not sure why, but (despite seeing how airways are cleared many times before) I thought airways were cleared with someone on their side.
Oh well.
Clicked on the option to put him onto his back and it is correct…
…and that is why this app is a good one!
Anyhow, my excuse is that I panicked. I was not expecting to be walking through a train station and seeing someone who’s unconscious :)

To be honest, i thought the same thing. The teaching was/is, if you’re going to check the airway is clear, at least turn the head to the side. The tongue is likely to fall forward, and you can use a finger to rake out dentures, vomit, chewing gum, whatever.
She didn’t do that, but at least we know better.

We’ve got a whole list of songs with the right beat. We like “Another one bites the Dust” too (thanks Rule for pointing it out some time ago) but you have to be careful of your audience with that one. I told Mr buffy to have a randomized mix of tracks with the right beat playing softly in the background, inconspicuously as people come in to sign on. I think it starts the brain beat going subconsciously.

I don’t remember doing that, and I have to admit I hadn’t noticed the primary survey being out of order.
Hmmm…
They also use the Heimlich Maneuver as the second technique for complete obstruction.
I just tried this choking one and wonder what the second technique is meant to be, if it isn’t the Heimlich Maneuver.
Also, the girl conveniently regains consciousness just as they run out of options. She is choking on food; they have tried to remove the obstruction and have begun CPR. They have done chest compressions and just as they’re meant to begin mouth-to-mouth, she’s just fine. Obviously, mouth-to-mouth would not bean option if the airway is blocked.

On one of the Labor ads there is a doctor who is crying. they tell the story of a child being put in an ambulance in London and taken to Edinburgh where there isn’t a bed and they him to London.
Tasmania is dabbling in this system.
“Over the weekend there were seven mental health patients unable to be admitted at the Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH) due to bed shortages.
One patient was transferred to Launceston, only to find there was not a bed available at the LGH either, and was sent back to Hobart.”

I suppose that you have to be in the team to grasp how it’s significant to them. If they feel that it’s a positive step, then it may well be so.
It does make you wonder why the Aus mens cricket team doesn’t have a nickname. Most other national mens and womens teams do – Wallabies, Opals, Boomers, Socceroos, Matildas, Diamonds etc.

MH bed shortages aren’t just a Tasmanian phenomenon.
Part of it is that a lot of MH space is taken up by people with severe drug problems. It’s changing, including here in Toowoomba, but for a long time, until very recently, as soon as a patient was identified with big drug-related problems, whoosh! they were shunted into the MH system.
Sure, a lot of people with drug problems also have MH problems, but putting them in MH facilities was often treating the symptom, not the cause.
Even other country mens cricket teams have nicknames, are they any less professional?

Probably more so. But if the women’s team want to be equal with the men in not having one that’s fine with me.
I don’t care either, I just don’t get the reasons why they changed…

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-07/detention-centre-suggestion-for-autistic-tasmanian-teenager/8597986
MH bed shortages aren’t just a Tasmanian phenomenon.
Part of it is that a lot of MH space is taken up by people with severe drug problems. It’s changing, including here in Toowoomba, but for a long time, until very recently, as soon as a patient was identified with big drug-related problems, whoosh! they were shunted into the MH system.
Sure, a lot of people with drug problems also have MH problems, but putting them in MH facilities was often treating the symptom, not the cause.
According to the article the MH ward has a juvenile autistic boy in there aren’t they can’t put adults with him. They discussed putting him in juvenile detention. This distressed the parents.

yes… they still haven’t come to a conclusion… (we’ve had everything from gall bladder to kidney infection to appendicitis) whatever it is it is making her sick and raising her temperature and stopping her from eating… back on IVAB’s and they said that they will be ‘aggressive’ in their approach and not let her out until they know what’s going on.
She is in Fiona Stanley now though, so a. a bit closer to all of us and b. more availability of diagnostic tools..

Yeah, FHS is pretty good. What’s a billion dollar brand new hospital for otherwise?
Only thing is parking is a bit steep there. If you don’t mind the walk it’s about half that next door at SJOG.
Anecdotally, many of the staff do not like it…

The liver’s holding up well :)
But I am itching to get back on with music & art etc.
I’ve been listening to some of my electronic music compositions from over a decade ago that I haven’t heard for many years since I put a fairly low value on the purely synthesizer stuff.
But some of it’s quite sublime. There’s a long, slow and peaceful meditative piece with a choir over a gently trundling bass that deserves a reboot at greater length, and finer attention to detail.
They are professionals…

We’ve got a whole list of songs with the right beat. We like “Another one bites the Dust” too (thanks Rule for pointing it out some time ago) but you have to be careful of your audience with that one. I told Mr buffy to have a randomized mix of tracks with the right beat playing softly in the background, inconspicuously as people come in to sign on. I think it starts the brain beat going subconsciously.
I’ve got a playlist on the iPhone. :-)

Obviously, mouth-to-mouth would not bean option if the airway is blocked.
There’s a lot of up-down-in-out action going on with compression of the chest, which can dislodge the obstruction, and/or there are a few paths an object could take if blown further down into the chest, all of which are clinically better than complete obstruction of the airway.

An anecdotal aside: I once did CPR on someone who was in the midst of a heart attack. I couldn’t get any air into him through his mouth, however hard I tried, and however far back I titled his head. I closed his mouth and breathed into his nose (with his head back). That worked perfectly. He was alive when the ambos took him away some time later (I’ve never been able to keep track of time when I’m doing CPR, but it felt like I’d been working on him for at least an hour), but he died in hospital a few days later.

Yeah, I think people have ridiculously high expectations of how successful CPR is, and what the quality of the survival might be like.
In your situation above, I would take the line that getting the patient to the hospital alive has not only given the medicos every opportunity, but also given his family time to say goodbye in the ICU, and, maybe, kept his organs and other tissues viable for transplant. Even knowing that he died, your efforts have probably made a huge difference.

‘Lies, plain and simple’: Comey takes aim at Trump in Senate testimony (photos) Posted about an hour ago | Updated about an hour ago Testifying under oath in a Senate hearing watched worldwide, former FBI director James Comey accuses the Trump administration of defaming him and the FBI in the aftermath of his abrupt firing by President Donald Trump.Good morning Holidayers. We have 5 degrees. Dark.
Internet tech is here….Grace is going nuts.
I’m locked in the front of the house with 2 dogs, 2 cats and a bowl of potato chips. Trying to distract Grace. I think she’s currently trying to chew a hole through a concrete wall.
Mr buffy has a cold. He is poorly. I suggested about 11.00pm that he would be better sitting up than lying down, so he sat in the beanbag in the kitchen in front of the woodheater. Of course, the dogs both piled on top of him…as the three of them sit there during the day, so that is normal. I relented, put the Dog Sheet over the covers on the bed, and retrieved Hei Long. So he slept on the bed with me. He had better not think this is going to be a normal thing.
Poor mr buffy.
See if a bowl of potato chips helps.
He’s toasted himself a couple of crumpets for breakfast. Burnt, by the smell of it. I suppose the vegemite will cover the charcoal…

I need to read up on some more of the Comey testimony. Listened to to parts of it, in between explosions, hyperactive husbands and insane dogs.
It is all a bit stunning.
Anyway, time to go do something apart from what I have been doing. Maybe get another coat of paint on the shelves. Cornbread Yellow. It’s what is known as a “happy colour”, but I know some people find it distressing. I’m using it because it is leftover from the kitchen cupboards. At least it’s getting rid of the drab brown, that matched my high school uniform perfectly, that the shelves were painted.

EXCLUSIVE: Three-year-olds in childcare and students from preschool and kindergarten upwards will be taught about suicide awareness and mental health as part of a $53 million Mental Health in Education program to be announced by the Turnbull government on Thursday.
More streamlined “postvention” strategies, with crisis teams deployed to schools when a suicide occurs, will also be put in place to prevent contagion suicides as childhood mental health issues soar.
While the word “suicide” won’t be used directly with three-year-olds, discussions around feelings of “not wanting to be here” or “wanting to die” could be addressed in the right context.
Specific “suicide” discussion could occur with children as young as eight, according to experts.

Suicide prevention initiatives have not worked.
Billboards with suicide prevention messages can plant the seed in people not even contemplating it.
And as for raising it with children it’s as bad as teaching them gender studies, crazy.

Honey on crumpets!!!!!
Vegemite belongs everywhere. I have it on matzos, English muffins, crumpets, SAOs, Vita Weets, Weet Bix, Vita Brits, toast and sandwiches, only some breads here in the USofA. It just doesn’t belong on ordinary American bread which is too sweet for Vegemite.
I rarely have scones. My local Woolies makes really yummy ones but they’re often snapped up pretty quickly. And you gotta have them fresh, they’re no good when they’ve been sitting there all day.
I don’t have honey on anything, although I am eating Manuka honey on toast as it’s quite strong on its own.

And I would if Vegemite weren’t halal certified.

I skipped the carbs for breakfast this morning and went with fruit. Specifically, red grapes and cherries. Little Miss had cheese, grapes, cherries and a mandarin. Jasmine had a cocktail frank (or, as they’re known in Kweenzland, cheerio) with a glucosamine tablet hidden inside. Mr Mutant skipped brekky as he had to retrieve his car from the hospital car park, install the battery and get to the train station.

“Angus Struan Carolus Robertson (born 28 September 1969) is a Scottish politician who was Depute Leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) and spokesperson on the Constitution in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. He was first elected to the House of Commons in 2001. In 2017 he sought re-election as the MP for Moray and lost to Conservative Party candidate Douglas Ross.”

In the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, Moray voted “No” by an above-average percentage of 57.6%. In the 2016 European Union membership referendum, Moray voted “Remain” by a 50.1% margin. It had the biggest percentage for “Leave” out of all the Scottish council areas and the narrowest margin of victory for either side anywhere in the UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moray

I must admit that the places my rellies live in, in the borders, have a lot of allegiance to the UK, even tho this upsets certain cousins. I sometimes wonder if the Scottish borders and the English borders shouldn’t be more united to the exclusion of England and Scotland..cos in some ways they are together in being not like one or the other.

Getting the beef stew underway shortly. I’ll get the root vegetables diced and in the slow cooker first with some beef stock, herbs and pearl barley. Then three big slabs of stewing steak to dice & brown along with a load of onion & garlic. Chuck all that in with its butter and a couple glasses of red wine and some tomato paste, Worcester sauce, black pepper etc. Then add a load of halved Brussels sprouts in the last couple hours.
Should be ready before 7.

Corbyn’s calling on May to resign:
Jeremy Corbyn has called on Theresa May to resign as election results point to a hung Parliament.
Speaking following his re-election as the MP for Islington North, the Labour leader said people had voted “for hope for the future”.
And he pledged that Labour MPs would make sure the policies in the party’s manifesto were “put before Parliament”.
Earlier, the party’s shadow foreign secretary claimed Labour could form a minority government.

There was better news for the SNP in Paisley and Renfrewshire South, where Mhairi Black kept her seat despite a big drop in her share of the vote.
Ms Black, the youngest MP at Westminster in the last parliament, had her majority over Labour cut from about 6,000 to about 2,500.

EXCLUSIVE: Three-year-olds in childcare and students from preschool and kindergarten upwards will be taught about suicide awareness and mental health as part of a $53 million Mental Health in Education program to be announced by the Turnbull government on Thursday.More streamlined “postvention” strategies, with crisis teams deployed to schools when a suicide occurs, will also be put in place to prevent contagion suicides as childhood mental health issues soar.
While the word “suicide” won’t be used directly with three-year-olds, discussions around feelings of “not wanting to be here” or “wanting to die” could be addressed in the right context.
Specific “suicide” discussion could occur with children as young as eight, according to experts.

Suicide prevention initiatives have not worked.
Billboards with suicide prevention messages can plant the seed in people not even contemplating it.
And as for raising it with children it’s as bad as teaching them gender studies, crazy.
Best to remove all hanging points.

Baby bird discovered in 99-million-year-old amber with feathers, colour intact
Scientists in Myanmar have discovered what they describe as the “most complete” fossil of a baby bird ever recovered from the Cretaceous period, trapped in 99-million-year-old amber.
The hatchling, complete with feathers, claws, skin and soft tissue around the eyelid and external opening of the ear, is believed to be a species from a group of birds called enantiornitheans that went extinct about 65 million years ago.

Baby bird discovered in 99-million-year-old amber with feathers, colour intactScientists in Myanmar have discovered what they describe as the “most complete” fossil of a baby bird ever recovered from the Cretaceous period, trapped in 99-million-year-old amber.
The hatchling, complete with feathers, claws, skin and soft tissue around the eyelid and external opening of the ear, is believed to be a species from a group of birds called enantiornitheans that went extinct about 65 million years ago.

Anyway congrats to Corbyn for campaigning surprisingly efficiently (even if a more popular Labour leader would have won a landslide).May will presumably be replaced, but surely not by Bojo, unless the Tories are willing to go full sitcom.
Insightful!

I admit when I saw it I thought.. that’s light for setter. but it does have a look of one of my old springer’s so I went on search.
and she’s landed so best unload the car
I have a large pot full of 500g of pork and beef mince, 4 onions, chopped black olives, lotsa celery, half a large capsicum, 1 grated carrot, 2 diced zucchinis, 1 small eggplant, diced italian salami, lotsa garlic, lotsa oregano, 250gm of diced mushrooms, plenty of pepper, small can of tomato paste, large can of tomato slurry and some cooking sherry cause I can’t trundle to the shop for some red wine..
I think I will find something to eat while that all cooks away quietly.

the one I have was $200 for the meter and is $100 for the sensor which lasts 2 weeks.
the bluetooth one that talks to the pump is $1200 for the bluetoothh bit and $75 for the sensor that lasts 3 days.

There is a Glenlivet art residency for Aus or NZ artists. Annual. In the application you have to not only write an art proposal but you are questioned about the attributes and qualities of various glenlivet drops. Most of which would not be in the price range of your everyday day starving artist.

Watching that Walking with Dinosaurs show on Netflix. The narrator introduces some large meat-eater as an ambush predator… cut to animated scene of said ambush predator stalking and chasing smaller prey items.
Dog porn is what it is…
The results with CGM and pump and so amazing that it should be fully subsidised for everyone possible (assuming cognition, willingness to count carbs etc).

So, you might describe Glenlivets as ‘reassuringly expensive’. Pricey enough to ensure that you can count yourself as one of those who appreciate the quality of the stuff, rather than be dismayed by the cost.
(Absolute twaddle, of course, but i’ve seen similar propositions aired over other products.)

yeah, it was no biggie for me..
I’ve been counting carbs since I was 8.
I’ve found it great, so when I tell things to the educator and the endo and hospitals, etc and they don’t believe me, I can print out the data from both the pump and the moniter and shut them up

finding work.
apart from that I have a couple of small projects I have thought of. One is to make a “thing” to go over the kitchen bench at the end near the wall. The kitchen bench is 3.2m long and is breakfast bar style all along the back edge. I don’t need that much breakfast bar, I want some sort of back wall with a shelf above for the microwave, just to tidy things up and make better use of the space. Also need to build some sort of a sideboard/hutch type thing.

I’m also making bolognese sauce tomorrow. Not quite the same mix as SM, but similar. I asked Mr buffy for a bottle of red wine to use. He’s given me a Wolf Blass red label Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon, 2009. He says I probably shouldn’t tell you lot I’m going to use that in cooking. He can’t drink alcohol and I can’t drink red. And there is a box of wines sitting on the floor here. What are we going to do with the rest of the bottle? How long will it keep if I seal it up again?
There are 4 other bottles of red in the box. I know nothing about wines.

The Red Label are the cheaper offerings from that maker. If you put the cap back on it will last a few days.

they say you should never cook with a wine you wouldn’t drink… (ok other people wouldn’t drink) but you’ll need to consume that bottle in a couple of days.. other wise you can freeze it in cooking portions for a long time

And there is a box of wines sitting on the floor here. What are we going to do with the rest of the bottle? How long will it keep if I seal it up again?
they say you should never cook with a wine you wouldn’t drink… (ok other people wouldn’t drink) but you’ll need to consume that bottle in a couple of days.. other wise you can freeze it in cooking portions for a long time

13 year old sprog has got a friend around for a sleepover, and they are playing their music quite loudly. What’s amazing is that I have recognised all of it. Beatles, Stones, Fleetwood Mac etc. Nothing later than the 80s so far.
I’ve trained her so well :)

If you’re using those wines for cooking I’d freeze them all before they get much older :)

I was purposely trying to cook freezer food with a lot of veg in it. Just had the first serve.
You do beef in burgundy and mashed potatoes.(hide100g of pork in it..I think it improves it..)
Or Coq au vin.
I don’t think that’s hiding the pork. I think it’s traditional for bolognese.

Thanks, but I don’t think I’ll bother. It’s so rare that I need any. I’ll just freeze the balance of the bottle I open tomorrow and in 12 months when I need another one I’ll open one of the others and take my chances. It’s only ever going to be used in something very long cooked anyway.

some people do them in icecube trays, but I just freeze them in half cups, that’s what I generally use in cooking. After icecubing them you can put the lot into a snap lock bag and use as you wish.

Well well. After posting about cabbage leaf mustard, I went in search of more information. It’s called Brassica juncea. This is interesting-
This mustard plant is used in phytoremediation to remove heavy metals, such as lead, from the soil in hazardous waste sites because it has a higher tolerance for these substances and stores the heavy metals in its cells. In particular, Brassica juncea was particularly effective at removing cadmium from soil. The process of removing heavy metals ends when the plant is harvested and properly discarded. Phytoremediation has been shown to be cheaper and easier than traditional methods for heavy metal reduction in soils.

Better make sure the soil you grow it in is relatively free from heavy metals then.

It’s quite stressful at times, because this place has moments when it is like a seaside town…w/o the sea. It’s a feeling that comes in around this time of the year. Sometimes we get the faint smell of the ocean with the monsoonal overflows from the Gulf of Mexico and the California coast.

They used to ask about what that dropbear was up-to but then I censored out his more confronting comments expressed in the SSSF days. His thoughts were not always kid friendly although they are quite a bit older now and fully grown adults.

Hose off the walls.
Hose the Batboy’s cage.
Listen to loud music while mr kii is out at Mr PTSD’s pulling up weeds (who is in Nevada renovating his latest house purchase. Then mr kii has to go hunt through the smaller hardware stores for a replacement washer set-up for the bathroom sink taps. The taps are from Mexico and they have weird washer systems.
Wash dirty laundry.
Sweep stuff.
Try to get a coat of paint on the metal shelves.
Then prepare mentally for The Rocket Scientist to arrive at 6am tomorrow to help with the exterior house painting. We have to get an early start as the temps are starting to soar.
The NRL ladder is close.

You’d be correct. I think these sports are way over-rated and commercialised to the point of insanity. The sexist crap that male team sports are marinated in is antiquated and dangerous.

I keep telling myself I’m as free as a bird (and then my rational self reminds me I’m actually much more free than any bird :)), and I’m just waiting for the rest of me to acknowledge that at its own pace. All the while, the symbolism is maturing, the patterns and the poetry are forming all by themselves. I’m looking forward to surprising myself in the end, but it won’t come as a complete shock ;)

When you made those comments Mr Car, I bet you didn’t think they would be remembered.
A little while ago some friends had a graduation party for their daughter. In the saying a few words bit she quoted something I said to her many years ago when she was a about 13 or 14. I don’t even recall saying it but I recall the event.

This is true but alas her plan is a husband , babies and a playground yard for them all.
You could introduce her to p_p…
I joked bwith her mum about this in a way but
a) There is a huge age gapb) PP is an atheist from what I gather
c) She is a staunch Christian and very much involved with her church
d) They don’t live in the same state
e) Plus they are both old enough to make their lives with their own partners of choice.

One can “love” children, but until you have your own it’s an abstract “love”…IME.
I had to clarify that often used comment when in the witch/preschool horror. I was asked if I loved the children in my preschool community, so I replied – “I respect them all. I love my two sons.” That was not the answer this particular religious fruitcake batshit crazy fuckwit wanted.

Yeah I would definitely steer clear of people with extreme religious views of any denomination or religion personally as well. For romantic relationships anyway. Too many hassles when you don’t agree and want to.

Morning
Good morning Holidayers. We have 4 degrees and just pre dawn now. I woke earlier than intended and then couldn’t go back to sleep because I started thinking about what I will do today. There is grass to be mowed. That’s slowing down a lot now, thank goodness. The bit planned for today hasn’t been done for 3 to 4 weeks, where at some parts of the year it is weekly. I really do need to pull out the last of the tomato plants. And I really do need to trial the tomato tarte tatin that I found a recipe for weeks ago.
I heard a piece on this on PM last night as I drove home:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-10/what-do-you-know-about-the-blerd-movement/8597320
And I sat there in the car talking to myself…..I don’t think I’ve ever thought nerd related to white skin in any way. I’ve always considered it a state of mind.

Bolognese now 10 minutes into it’s first 20 minute simmer. Then it can sit on the woodheater all day. And probably all day tomorrow too. I’ll put on some Outside clothes and start pulling down tomato plants.

Good morning. Not foggy here but extra soggy.
I need to dig up one of my storm water drains, as I’m getting a bit of a drainage issue. It will have to wait till things dry out though, an exploratory dig to find the outlet ended up very messy.

I see, a stickynose.
I was talking to some international visitors at a conference many years ago and used the word stickynose. As in, I’m going to have a stickynose around. They asked me the meaning and they found they liked the word immensely. I can’t remember now where they came from. Europeans, I think.

It’s more often stickybeak.
In my family you have a stickynose around, a stickybeak around, or you are a stickybeak or a stickynose. Most often the noun is stickybeak, but the verb forms seem to be used equally.

I was unaware that the Shin Fane elected parliamentary don’t travel to Westminster.
They don’t vote in the house, never have never will, apparently.
They won 7 seats yesterday so that makes the real magic number to form government 322 not 326.
It’s a big sacrifice for them.
They could be traveling to Westminister on a helicopter or small jet for a vote.
Stay overnight in their London flat with the mistress.
Have dinner at their club, fly back next day with a heavy briefcase and hangover.

Wasn’t there a big thing recently where some company tried to, or did, register it and then attempt to stop all other companies using it?
Sitting on the bench next to the apricot tree. and Grace jumps up. She then starts “flea-ing” my arm with her front teeth. I pushed her away and said to get…fuck off. So she literally bounces off and mounts Daisy’s head for a few minutes. Then she starts hopping backwards like a demented rabbit. For her grande finale she attacked a patch of long grass. Three times.
As I type she is doing laps of the yard and hurdling over the old wagon axle.
Ugg boot-makers take trademark battle to court
“Despite its Australian origin as a generic term, the word Ugg was registered as a brand in the US in 1985 by Australian entrepreneur Brian Smith, who later sold the trademark to Deckers.”
I was listening to Off Track yesterday while driving and someone mentioned Cherry guavas.
I thought that sounds like something to grow so I just looked it up.

There are now about a hundred registered marks that in some way use the term Ugg but it has the same effect of registering a trademark including the word “shawl” or “hat”. You can protect your logo or graphics but ugg is just a word.

Yes indeed, and they get themselves stuck in your rabbit traps too.
Also when you eat a BBQ or pizza outside they will come over and sniff around for scraps. That’s when you definitely know you have bandicoots, when there’s one under your chair sniffing at your feet.
There’s an Ugg Boot Lady on the New England Highway just south of Stanthorpe.
She has a little shop there, don’t know who supplies her but her prices are reasonable and she does alright I think
She also makes costumes and stuff for thespians.

They love dry cat food. I used to put my cat’s bowl of dry food on the verandah for him but often it was scoffed by a bandicoot or the duck.

You sure about that?
What’s the evidence that convinced you of this?
Anyway, now I’ve had a coffee and half a bit of hedgehog at the cafe, I’ll get out and do some more weeding. I had to stop before when I discovered that disposable rubber gloves are not nettle proof. I thought they would provide some protection, I made sure I grasped the nettle at the base….and still I got welts across the palm of my hand. So I’ll just go and give that nettle its come-uppance – with proper gloves on. Then I can get to the potatoes to dig. So far we have beetroot to have with tea tonight. Some nice new potatoes boiled quickly might go well with roast beetroot and parsnip (bought) and chicken kievs.
I need to glean the pulled out tomato plants too. There are more to pull, but I’m leaving one lot there because they haven’t really died off yet.

So I’ll just go and give that nettle its come-uppance – with proper gloves on. Then I can get to the potatoes to dig. So far we have beetroot to have with tea tonight. Some nice new potatoes boiled quickly might go well with roast beetroot and parsnip (bought) and chicken kievs.
I need to glean the pulled out tomato plants too. There are more to pull, but I’m leaving one lot there because they haven’t really died off yet.
You’re just going to leave them there to die?
Yes. That is how I deal with tomato plants. They get pulled out after the frost kills them. One lot are a bit more protected and haven’t died yet.
By the way, the Ugg boot discussion made me look it up. This mob seem to be the oldest ones on a quick search:

News pieces about Decker et al and sites for other manufacturers only seem to go back to the 90s.

Yes indeed, and they get themselves stuck in your rabbit traps too.
Also when you eat a BBQ or pizza outside they will come over and sniff around for scraps. That’s when you definitely know you have bandicoots, when there’s one under your chair sniffing at your feet.
We had a roadrunner do that to mr kii when we lived in the other place. I have a photo somewhere.

Picked a dozen ripe kaffir limes this morning. I use the rind for thai curry pastes, along with my galangal, lemon grass, coriander and chillies. It’s beautiful when you have freshly made paste. The recipe says to grind the ingredients in a mortar and pestle for ages, but a minute in the blender seems to work just as well.
I’m patiently peeling rind being careful not to get the white stuff underneath. Someone should breed a smooth skinned kaffir lime! I’m hoping that the rind will store OK in oil in the fridge for the next couple of months. The made up paste freezes well.
Lunch is going to be leftovers of last night’s red curry.

Say I had a little project which involves staining the timber to match the existing kitchen benches. At what point would you do the finishing sanding and staining? I was thinking cut and make all the pieces up to dry fitting stage and then sand and stain each piece before final assembly, would you suggest anything different?

That’s the way i’d do it. Just have to be careful about excessive accumulation of stain around edges and corners – don’t want discontinuities of colour when it’s all assembled.

We had just enough here for me to almost slip over when I was walking out the back door this morning.
Since Mrs rb did that in Sydney this week and came home with a cracked scaphoid, I’m glad I didn’t do the same.
As to Mrs rb, her transplant has been rescheduled to July 24th which means she can still spend time at Noosa with our son and family before she starts treatment. Small bonus.

sounds good. sometimes if you glue stuff up the stain doesn’t take to the glue line and it looks naff. if you’re matching do test bits first.

Nothing wrong with staining before the boards are cut.

roughbarked said:

No, nothing wrong with that. I just like to ensure that any part that might be exposed to view has the right colour.
If the stain or whatever is also intended to provide some protection to the timber, then cutting first and staining all surfaces, edges, and corners before assembly will provide more complete protection.

I think you would be better to freeze the rind. Having tried olives in oil that produced gas – presumably I was growing botulinum, I’d be very wary of storing organic stuff in oil without very stringent cleaning. It should just freeze though?

I’m not exactly sure but I think olives and the oil contain a natural fungi or bacteria that can cause nasties for some people.

I just decided the risk was too great with domestic facilities. I also did garlic in oil…same result. Fortunately I only tried a small quantity. This year I have broken the garlic into cloves and frozen them whole. As I’m only ever going to be using them in cooking, it doesn’t matter that they will be mushy when defrosted.
I tend to leave garlic in the ground and pull it up as needed.

My plaited garlic is all shooting now. So I’m planting it out again. It knows when it wants to grow. Today I have dug potatoes. Yes, some of them look green. I’m about to scrub them, sort them into types and pick out the green ones for on growing.

True that if you plait them with the leaves still intact, they last longer and can start growing but I can pull up garlic at any time of year and it is always fresh.

So..it didn’t go as far as my last effort where I got 11 serves. I’ll cook the lasagna tomrrow.

Had a great English teacher in year 11, loved this poem – the Love song of J Alfred Prufrock. Haven’t read it for decades., so I found it online. Such a difference reading it as a 16 year old and then as an almost 50 year old.

I can be like that. Have an hour lay-me-down (often due to overeating) then be in search of a bite of something as soon as I wake up.
OTOH I’m seldom in the mood for breakfast when I wake up after a solid night’s sleep.

I am still trying to workout what computer course to do ….i.e. suits my needs…my guess is Digital Marketing and Web design but I want more skills in using media programs for design as well as a better system for data entry that also send back prompters about important things like training renewells and not just relying on a calender system only.
The system needs to be retrievable for auditing purposes at anytime and printable for archiving/reporting reasons.

Daniel Morcombe: Assistant commissioner being probed over alleged misconduct during coronial inquest
One of Queensland’s most senior police officers is being investigated over claims of misconduct at the time of the 2016 coronial inquest into the murder of Sunshine Coast teenager Daniel Morcombe.
Assistant Commissioner Mike Condon was head of homicide in 2003 when the 13-year-old boy was abducted and murdered by Brett Peter Cowan.
A coronial inquest into the case in December last year spent two days examining the adequacy of the police investigation.
The Queensland Police Service has confirmed today that Ethical Standards Command is investigating claims of misconduct at the time of the coronial inquest by Mr Condon, but would not elaborate on the nature of the probe.
However, the ABC has been told complaints made by former detective Dennis Martyn to the Crime and Corruption Commission have been referred to the Queensland Police Service, with the process to be monitored and reviewed by the CCC.
It has been claimed that Mr Condon abused his position by colluding with other officers to try and prevent Mr Martyn and another former detective, Kenneth King, giving evidence at the inquest and to find out what evidence would be given to try and discredit them.
It is also claimed by Mr Martyn that Mr Condon requested another officer to access files and disclose the complaints history and other personal details of Mr Martyn and Mr King.
Mr Martyn also claimed a report he wrote two weeks after Daniel Morcombe disappeared, in which he named Cowan as a prime suspect, went missing.
He said Mr Condon had the report, but Mr Condon denied he had received it.
Mr King and Mr Martyn were the first officers to interview Cowan and they both told the inquest last year they believed further resources including surveillance and search warrants should have been directed to him.
Mr Martyn told the 2016 inquest that then-Detective Inspector Condon dismissed a detailed report on Cowan and strong leads on the case that would have seen him caught years earlier.
But Mr Martyn said those concerns were rejected by Detective Inspector Condon at the time.
Mr Condon defended the way he ran the investigation, telling the inquest last year he was very comfortable with decisions made at the time.
He said at the inquest resources needed to focus on a car that was reportedly seen at the scene.
“My view is we had some 84 witnesses talking about a blue car,” Mr Condon said.
He also told the inquest he recalled Mr King and Mr Martyn expressing their concerns about Cowan.
“Whilst it was very interesting at that stage, there was no direct evidence implicating Cowan in any offence,” he said.
Outside court in December, Mr Condon said the allegations levelled at him at the inquest were not true.
“It was an outrageous lie and that officer committed perjury on oath — Cowan was never dismissed,” he said at the time.
The ABC has contacted Mr Condon today for an interview.
A spokesperson for the Crime and Corruption Commission said it declined to comment.
Daniel Morcombe vanished while waiting for a bus at the Kiel Mountain overpass at Palmwoods on the Sunshine Coast in December 2003.
In 2011, Cowan confessed to the crime in a secret recording made by undercover police posing as criminal gang members.
Cowan was sentenced to life in prison in March 2014.
Daniel’s father, Bruce Morcombe, said today that the Morcombe family were not part of the process of the police investigation and they would not comment further.

Yeah, we’ve still got a long way to go. Being hopelessly incompetent seems to be no barrier to employment in some agencies, and the inability to deal with it is, as you say, cowardice.

That’s because competence is far from being the only way to climb the ladder, and often seems to be the factor that’s least considered.

My comment related to how the media hasn’t been saying much at all about the concerns of the majority of Muslims and that it should always have been so.
So we’re all agreed.
We all (and in particular mainstream media) should do more to support moderate Muslims and Islamic groups, in support of freedom of religion.

There’s the nub of the matter.
‘Islamic authorities’ condemn terrorism and violence, and rightly so.
What they don’t do is name names. They’re afraid of appearing to be impious if they speak up and say that “Imam So-and-so is one who preaches violence, and one who should be ignored and vilified”, or that “Such-and-such madrassa is blaspheming when it teaches violence as a way of Islam”. Or else they’re afraid of reprisals.
Condemning the concept is one thing – a safe and acceptable thing to do – but until they’re ready to directly confront the people distorting their religion, nothing will change.

No, the basis of all religions is to convert adherents of other religions to your faith ( the correct faith, of course).

I don’t think that is true.
I could be wrong, but I doubt that there is any religion that has peace with other religions as its true fundamental basis.

Or else they’re afraid of reprisals.
Condemning the concept is one thing – a safe and acceptable thing to do – but until they’re ready to directly confront the people distorting their religion, nothing will change.
This is the nub of the issue. What is real? Is succumbing to the numbing fear real or is standing up for your principles real.

Some are and some aren’t, obviously.
But since Roughbarked was specifically talking about encouraging the media, rather than encouraging Muslims, your comment seems a bit strange.
really? an article on muslims speaking out and a reply about encouraging it. i think you are not following.
I assure you I am.

No, the basis of all religions is to convert adherents of other religions to your faith ( the correct faith, of course).
Not in my experience. Even at one time(aged 16) I was a constant part of a Jehova’s Witness family home and had many interseting discussions but never felt, despite my father’s concerns that I was being converted or recruited
Part of the problem is that there is no overall governance in Islam.
There’s no Pope, no Archbishop of Canterbury, no ecumenical councils, no congress of the faith.
There’s no source of overarching guidance in the concept and practice of the religion.No-one and nothing to say what is and what isn’t ‘good’ for the religion.
The word of this imam is as good as the word of that imam. No-one can or will say that it is or isn’t ‘correct’. The Koran is no better than the Bible – there’s ample opportunity to cherry-pick and interpret bits of it to justify your own attitudes and ideas, no matter what they are.
I’m not saying that hierarchical religions get it right – but without some source of consensus and guidance, all you have is an anarchy which can be readily exploited for personal ends, with no hope of improvement.

I don’t think that is true.
I could be wrong, but I doubt that there is any religion that has peace with other religions as its true fundamental basis.
On the surface this would seem true. When you speak with people of faiths, if you offer no opposing arguments, you get along fine. On occasion I may seem to have offended the local Pakistani Imam by offering him an empty beer stubbie to show him how to crush olives the traditional Mediterranean way. However, he simply explained to me that it was taboo for him to have an empty beer bottle in his vicinity and he also was shy of buying walnuts from me in an empty beer carton.

Inside me, I get deeply offended by watching two Jews taking offence to each other’s view of their own religion.
Good morning. I seem to be running late. Got an email overnight that Mum ambulanced to hospital on Friday. It’s taken Dad that long to let us know. Just another episode of low blood pressure, as Mr buffy diagnosed from a distance some 2 years ago.
I’ve made feijoa jam to use in a jam shortbread tomorrow. Set feijoa slices in lemon jelly for desserts, which worked very well when I tried it a couple of weeks ago. And I’ve packed up to go to Casterton overnight.
I’ll check on you lot again later if there is wifi over there today. Lots of people around for the Kelpie Festival.
At work, the boss only reads the daily terrorgraph and his sone sit there listening to all the Andrew Bolt types. He reckons all Muslims should be kicked out of the country.
Where do these people get a real comprehension of how the world works?

Judaism is another ‘ungoverned’ faith, and your example refers back to my comment about converting people to your own beliefs.
Orthodox Jews say “you should all practice Judaism the way we do”, and secular Jews say “no, you can’t make us do that”.
Even within religions, there’s efforts at conversion.

Low blood pressure can be very problematic but on the whole it is generally better than high blood pressure.

No vomiting or diarrhoea, a bit of nausea. Mainly extreme fatigue and painful hair with a sensation of being stuck in goo.

Hello from Casterton. There are a lot of cars here. A lot of people must have been to the kelpie auction this morning.
It’s overcast. I have weeding to do, but I should eat first.
Ring me
Hang on while I kill the dialup.
Sorry people. That was Mr buffy not able to phone me because I’m using up some of my 110-145 hours of dialup still remaining. It’s adequate for the forum. Not much else these days.

Can’t see any messages from mr buffy in here. I’m back inside. I think I’ll shower and then cook my chicken and cheese patties and reconstitute some dried peas. I might eat the carrot I brought with me too. I was thinking I’d make popcorn later, which can count as a veggie too.
The digital TV is dodgy here again. I will have to resort to an Austen DVD. Last time I watched Northanger Abbey. Am I ready to watch P&P again?

Well, IIRC, quite a few years back. the Americans built a prototype X-wing aircraft, which took off and landed like a helicopter with a four-blade rotor. Once airborne, it transitioned to a ‘jet aircraft’ by locking the rotor in place so it provide some lift as an ‘X-wing’, while turbines propelled the aircraft and stub wings provided additional lift.

That’s the rare problem we come across with me not owning a mobile phone. Today I’m using up some block dialup hours. But it takes over the phone line. And Mum is in hospital and we have to have some extra plans in place for when she comes to stay with us in three weeks. If she makes it to three weeks. At 87, she might just not wake up one day.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity
In December 2012, a research team in China announced that it had produced measurements of the phase lag of Earth tides during full and new moons which seem to prove that the speed of gravity is equal to the speed of light. This means that if the Sun suddenly disappeared, the Earth would keep orbiting it normally for 8 minutes, which is the time light takes to travel that distance. The team’s findings were released in the Chinese Science Bulletin in February 2013.

So, I watched Persuasion instead of Pride and Prejudice, because the DVD was much better set up. It’s annoying that the remote for this TV doesn’t seem to have a pause button, despite it being mentioned in the instruction book. But I worked out how to make it wait for me. Cheap electrical stuff.
Also had a ghost experience this afternoon. Yes, I know there is no such thing. I was moving barrowloads of bricks in the back yard. I’m sure I heard a dog shaking itself, sounded exactly like Babuschka used to when the tags on her collar rattled. And I actually looked up quickly to where the sound was coming from. Obviously there was no Buschka there. There are a lot of dogs in town for the kelpie festival, so I assume it must have been a dog in the street I heard, but where I was standing I don’t think I could hear that sort of noise from the street as the house was between me and the front fence. Odd.
Still, there is a lady ghost here in this house. Haven’t seen her for a while, and when I do it’s just a flick of skirt out of the corner of my eye. I reckon she and Buschka are playing tricks on me.

whack it with something and put it out of its misery. They are pretty soft and don’t require much of a whack to kill them.
There isn’t room to move the fridge out of its place without moving various other stuff.
Can you slide a broom handle or something underneath the fridge and push it out?
I can’t type.
Grace is helping TRS….she’s eating the scrappy bits of blue masking tape.
I’m not doing much of anything right now. Fed the kittehs some special cat grass (just grass not “grass”) to help with their digestion.
Might put a coat of paint on my metal shelves and/or make some peach/apple jam.
I moved the fridge and found it. Poor thing was trapped across its back legs, no way it would survive.
I picked the trap + mouse up with tongs and quickly drowned it :(
Wish these traps were more reliable.

I guess that is helpful. I found the odd bits always ended up stuck on the sole of my shoe eventually if I didn’t throw it straight in the bin. I guess dog slobber would neutralise their stickiness.

I had some plastic Chinese traps for a bit, the action was a band like a metal watch strap, threw them away as worthless, Got some good old fashioned wood and spring ones. I watched a Landline and the last remaining mice trap making machine was put down, so I guess it’s Chinese traps from now on.

These are old-fashioned wood & spring, but this is the third time a mouse was caught with actually being killed.

I think the problem is the small bait you are using, which means the mouse must get close to it and further from the edge of the trap. If you wrap some peanut butter in bandage or similar and roll into an elongated shape, then tie (with cotton) one end to the trap. This should set the trap off very well and the mouse will be in the correct position for an instantaneous demise.
>These are old-fashioned wood & spring, but this is the third time a mouse was caught with actually being killed.
daughter catches hers then lets them go in the park, but they’ve been breeding faster than she’s trapping them lately.

It’s the Queen’s Birthday here today. I have been wondering about this date and after mum told me on Saturday that it’s to celebrate Queen Victoria’s birthday, I have finally looked it up…
The Monarch’s Birthday was first celebrated in Australia in 1788. In that year, King George III was the Monarch and Governor Arthur Phillip declared a holiday to mark his birthday. Originally, the Monarch’s birthday was celebrated on the anniversary of the actual date of birth of the King or Queen. However, after the death of King George V in 1936, the date remained close to his birthday, which was June 3.

We have finished painting the built-in wardrobe, it has aired out a little and so we are now in the process of re-filling it. Last night we visited IKEA for some new plastic storage boxes, as the old ones, which were are from plant fibre of some sort, smell musty. I can’t believe how many people were still shopping there at 8:30pm on a Sunday night.
Good morning Holidayers. I wondered why it didn’t feel so cold this morning. It’s 10 degrees. Yesterday was 1 or something.
More weeds will be ripped out today.
We have the wooden mousetraps. Only one of quite a few this season has managed to get tail-caught. And if I remember rightly one got caught by a foot. I put it outside, but it did die. I also have trouble with the whacking bit.
Now, weeds beware…I’m not squeamish about you!
Oh, and I guess I should move some more bricks. There is a whole chimney there in the stack.

The second grade lied to me! We learned then that Lizzie’s birthday is in April but since it’s so close to Easter, the holiday was moved to June. Or October if you’re in Kweenzland :-/
Today I’m waiting for our new washing machine to be delivered. We bought a 7.5kg Samsung front loader. I’m also drinking Aldi-brand Milo knockoff, which is a bit more malty than Milo but is a pretty close approximation and half the price. My sister’s Great Dane lives another day; the painkillers seem to have kicked in but his days are still numbered :(
Well there’s been no award for PWM’s services to the Morris Dancing community again.
I’m not bitter but if the Queen wants something done for her she’s going to have to ask me nicely.
You see I don’t want money and I don’t want medals.
What I do want is for he to sit there in her faggoty little tiara and with her Oxford mouth extend me some fucking courtesy, she’ll have to ask me nicely.
I don’t think her tiara resembles a faggot at all.
morning folks
We bought a 7.5kg Samsung front loader.
I’m sure Samsung have sorted every thing out with them by now.
They probably don’t blow up anymore, it’ll be fine, well most of the time.
Anyway it’ll be covered under warranty and fire and contents, nothing to worry about.

BOOK IV CHAP. 30. BRITANNIA.
Opposite to this coast is the island called Britannia, so celebrated in the records of
Greece and of our own country. It is situate to the north-west, and, with a large tract of
intervening sea, lies opposite to Germany, Gaul, and Spain, by far the greater part of
Europe. Its former name was Albion; but at a later period, all the islands, of which we shall
just now briefly make mention, were included under the name of “Britanniæ.” This island
is distant from Gesoriacum, on the coast of the nation of the Morini , at the spot where the
passage across is the shortest, fifty miles. Pytheas and Isidorus say that its circumference
is 4875 miles. It is barely thirty years since any extensive knowledge of it was gained by
the successes of the Roman arms, and even as yet they have not penetrated beyond the
vicinity of the Caledonian forest. Agrippa believes its length to be 800 miles, and its
breadth 300; he also thinks that the breadth of Hibernia is the same, but that its length is
less by 200 miles. This last island is situate beyond Britannia, the passage across being
the shortest from the territory of the Silures , a distance of thirty miles. Of the remaining
islands none is said to have a greater circumference than 125 miles. Among these there
are the Orcades , forty in number, and situate within a short distance of each other, the
seven islands called Acmodæ , the Hæbudes, thirty in number, and, between Hibernia
and Britannia, the islands of Mona , Monapia , Ricina , Vectis , Limnus , and Andros .

The Greeks knew about it but Baldrick has found no evidence of them ever being there.
Morning
I was up early considering it’s a long weekend. Had a workout then took Chilli to the beach where she chased the ball, caught the ball, ran with the ball and well you get the idea.. Chilli has a habit of running into the water with the ball to have a cool off, then drops the ball, stands for a bit then runs back to me, without the ball. I then have to go into the water to retrieve it… oohhh weeee it was brisk in that water this morning, my feet were fairly numb by the time I arrived back home.
Sun is out with cloudy patches, heater is on :)

Assuming that’s genuine, and you didn’t just make it up yourself, that’s very interesting.
But it seems to me that if the Greeks knew of the place, they would surely have popped over for a closer look.

Alan Joyce got a gong on the Queens Birthday honours. I’d like to see Margaret Court’s face when she hears that news.
More from Pliny:
BOOK I CHAP. 77. WHERE THE DAYS ARE THE LONGEST AND WHERE THE
SHORTEST.
Hence it follows, that in consequence of the daylight increasing in various degrees, in
Meroë the longest day consists of twelve æquinoctial hours and eight parts of an hour , at
Alexandria of fourteen hours, in Italy of fifteen, in Britain of seventeen; where the degree
of light, which exists in the night, very clearly proves, what the reason of the thing also
obliges us to believe, that, during the solstitial period, as the sun approaches to the pole of
the world, and his orbit is contracted, the parts of the earth that lie below him have a day of
six months long, and a night of equal length when he is removed to the south pole.
Pytheas, of Marseilles , informs us, that this is the case in the island of Thule , which is six
days’ sail from the north of Britain. Some persons also affirm that this is the case in Mona,
which is about 200 miles from Camelodunum , a town of Britain.

A fascinating twist in the coal cult narrative come from Kooyong coal-raker, the terminally conflicted energy and environment minister Josh Frydenberg. He’s all for carbon capture and storage. Don’t we know that the world is full of CCS power plants? We had better get our skates on. Build some. Those in the coal cult are immensely encouraged.
It’s another delusion, if not a blatant lie. Although one small, 528 MW third, $5.5 billion over budget, plant will be commissioned, in Mississippi the reality is there are but two massively expensive plants in commercial operation. These compress CO2 to force previously unreachable oil out of defunct wells in an Enhanced Oil Recovery Process.
Never mind that in the process, 30% of the CO2 escapes back into the atmosphere. Never mind that the plant saves CO2 to avoid global warming only to extract more oil which will boost global warming. Never mind the expense. None of this matters to the true believer. Just don’t expect any of it to bear any relationship to reality.
Simon Holmes a Court calculates just to capture all of the emissions of the Loy Yang power station in Victoria, we’d need a plant 13 times bigger than Petra Nova in Texas. With currency and Australian labour rates, but allowing for some economies of scale and ‘learnings’, that could cost AUD$15–25bn.
Luckily, because we live in an eternal present, now that history itself has been effectively consigned to the dustbin of history, no-one asks Josh about ZeroGen our cute, little 2006 CCS plant project in central Queensland.
ZeroGen was a relatively tiny, 390 MW net coal-fired power station which would capture 65% of its emissions. It received $188 million in grants but after a projected cost blowout from $1.2bn to $6.9bn the project collapsed six years before its scheduled 2017 completion date, scuttling hundreds of millions of public funding.

With currency and Australian labour rates, but allowing for some economies of scale and ‘learnings’, that could cost AUD$15–25bn.
Luckily, because we live in an eternal present, now that history itself has been effectively consigned to the dustbin of history, no-one asks Josh about ZeroGen our cute, little 2006 CCS plant project in central Queensland.
ZeroGen was a relatively tiny, 390 MW net coal-fired power station which would capture 65% of its emissions. It received $188 million in grants but after a projected cost blowout from $1.2bn to $6.9bn the project collapsed six years before its scheduled 2017 completion date, scuttling hundreds of millions of public funding.

Not keen on it myself.
Yes we should acknowledge that CSS is not yet at a stage where it is commercially competitive, but that applies to many alternative technologies.
We should adopt whatever technologies provide the best combination of emission reduction and supply reliability / $, with neither the fundamentalist “coal bad, everything else good (except nuclear)” nor the fundamentalist “we need coal for STRONG AND STABLE supply”.
If only we had a Liberal government willing to put the market pricing mechanisms in place, so the open market could sort out the best way of doing it.
Where CSS = CCS.
Why would a scam e-mail trying to get my phone number use an address like crimepatrika.com ?
It’s another delusion, if not a blatant lie. Although one small, 528 MW third, $5.5 billion over budget, plant will be commissioned, in Mississippi the reality is there are but two massively expensive plants in commercial operation. These compress CO2 to force previously unreachable oil out of defunct wells in an Enhanced Oil Recovery Process.
How could something be 5.5 billion over budget unless the whole design was half arsed from the beginning and/or its mismanagement was incompetent and corrupt from the beginning.

The White House is a phrase that has often been used as a metonym for the President, but that seems to have gone by the wayside, as outlets frequently have to report that White House statements have been contradicted by the President.
I found it interesting that the White House, POTUS and Donald Trump all have separate Twitter accounts with different tweets. At times it’s almost like they’re all distancing themselves from each other… even the POTUS/Trump accounts.
Politicians tweeting is weird, they are appealing to the lowest common denominator in a “look at us we are cool we are using social media” but to me comes across as reinforcing perhaps they aren’t too bright
I don’t agree that use of Twitter is an appeal to the lowest common denominator, that it is generally used in an attempt to look cool. It is kind of an old-school platform from 11 years ago, a way to publicly express a brief message, and most politicians use it in a normal, sensible way to express their policies and aspirations.

Maybe I just find most social media as an ego stroke and that people need to be “on” constantly spouting anything they think of useful or not.
Politicians using Instagram seems to be an attempt to look cool.
I read an article yesterday about restricted and banned hashtags on Instagram. The banned ones are everything you’d expect but #HappyThanksgiving, #HappyNewYear, #Kansas and #adulting are restricted. Go figure.

The spurred lapwings are making babies again in Casterton. I nearly ran the wheelbarrow of bricks over the eggs last week, they just lay them on the bare ground. So I made a little marking with grass clippings so I know where the eggs are. Mother Lapwing gave up squarking at me after the third or fourth time I wandered past her.

Good enough thanks. I have made progress on my little woodwork project. All the pieces cut and dry-fitted. Sanded and painted or stained most of the pieces, some of them will need the other side done tomorrow. Now I’m just sitting inside watching TV.
Salmon patties (commercial ones) with roast potato, roast pumpkin, and steamed broccoli and carrot. For dessert we have feijoa set in lemon jelly. May need cream added. (Not sure there is any in the fridge though)
Salmon. Nice.
Chicken here, with some type of Italian-style tomato-based sauce, I understand. Mrs V’s watching Grand Designs NZ to procrastinate.
I sliced the remaining roast lamb from last night, off the bone. It’s for dinner in a couple of nights, when Mrs V has friends staying. I’ve been volunteered to cook something Lamby. Undecided about what that’s going to be yet.

I find newcomer mice tend to be young males along with the odd mature one. Once you get those, the females come, again the younger ones first. Got a big fat mature female last night who would dropping her young within a couple of days, however they didn’t make it, but the magpies were very appreciative.

Are you still in the same place you’ve been in for a while and if so, have you ever had mice inside beforehand? Where I grew up, we would get mice inside in winter, but in summer, they would return, we presumed, to the nearby “paddock” to live.

Mm, and the feijoa in lemon jelly with a splodge of cream is good. I’ve made some feijoa jam (well, not very well set, but that won’t matter) and I’m going to make raspberry shortbread but with feijoa. I’ve made it with rhubarb before, I reckon feijoa will be OK too.

Shepherd’s pie
Most basic method….chop up the meat. You can put some chopped onion in there too if you want. Put this in the bottom of a casserole. Splodge some tomato sauce across the top. Make up heaps of mashed potato and spread across the top to cover it all. You can be fancy and pipe it on if you want….nah, guess not. Some people sprinkle some grated tasty cheese over the potato.
But what we usually do with cold roast lamb is cut it up, wok it quickly with some garlic and onion and make souvlakia.

I’m still in the same place I’ve been for the past 10 years, and yes, I normally get mice every autumn but they’ve usually gone (of their own accord) after a month or so. Particularly heavy lot of them this year. It’s the first time I’ve had to actually start trapping them.

Make up heaps of mashed potato and spread across the top to cover it all. You can be fancy and pipe it on if you want….nah, guess not. Some people sprinkle some grated tasty cheese over the potato.
But what we usually do with cold roast lamb is cut it up, wok it quickly with some garlic and onion and make souvlakia.
I like a shepherds pie, they last well in the fridge and can freeze. A leg of lamb is too much for a single bloke so what I do is throw in extra onions and carrot when roasting. The day after all of it, the fat included, left over roast veggies and all the pan residue go through a mincer with an extra lashing of garlic. Smooth that into a couple of loaf tins, I sometimes add a bit of stock and worchy sauce to moisten, top with creamy mashed spuds, beeeuuutiful.
And no waste.

Potato and Leek and Chorizo soup followed by Lamb and Spinach Pide and chips here.
Sounds yummy. I should have bought Chorizos for our stew tomorrw, but instead, concerned about the spice that the kids may not eat, bought kranskies. Stew will also have eggplant, cannellini beans and a few other ingredients.
I haven’t had Pide in a very long time. Usually we find them in kiosks at markets and shows.

Your stew sounds nice. Most Chorizos seem pretty mild to me. I know they have a reputation for being very hot but I haven’t struck any.
I am off shopping tomorrow so will check lamb, but lately the prices have been crazy.

…for now. Let’s see how long before they return.
Are you still in the same place you’ve been in for a while and if so, have you ever had mice inside beforehand? Where I grew up, we would get mice inside in winter, but in summer, they would return, we presumed, to the nearby “paddock” to live.
I’m still in the same place I’ve been for the past 10 years, and yes, I normally get mice every autumn but they’ve usually gone (of their own accord) after a month or so. Particularly heavy lot of them this year. It’s the first time I’ve had to actually start trapping them.
Do you know how they’re getting into the house? Blocking it with steel wool could help.

I visited mum on her birthday on Saturday. We took Scarlett and her new puppy for a walk to the neigbouring reserve, which I have discovered is a “wetland”.
This is the “paddock” that I referred to in an earlier post and is in the area where I grew up. We found a mob of wallabies in the paddock (which I have never seen in the area before), but in the middle of the mob was a fox :( What could it be doing there?

We had shepherd’s pie last week. We make small, single-serve ones in small dishes and this time, instead of mashing potatoes, we used cauliflower mash. Steamed cauli, butter and parmesan, pureed*, was a nice change from the stodgy potato.

I corrected quickly. What I had in mind was foxes hanging around sheep and cattle which you see a fair bit around here.
maybe just going about its business and just happened to be there when you were. or he might have been using them as cover to get some other prey. they don’t say cunning as a fox for nothing. people are quick to denigrate poor old reynard.

Mature wallabies have nothing to fear from foxes as they are too large. Their young just out of the pouch on the other hand would make a nice meal. Foxes are opportunistic, so may be just checking things out.
Cattle eat their afterbirth.

These foxes would come to mum’s place and beg for food on the front lawn. Once I told her to stop feeding them and explained that if she loves the native birds etc. etc. … but she looked at me like I was just a nasty woman. Within a few weeks, she received a letter from her Council telling “her” to not feed the feral foxes and she blamed me for dobbing her in (which I hadn’t. Ha! Months later, an old friend whose mum backs the same reserve explained that her mum had also received the same letter and that it had gone out to many residents in the street. She still thinks it was me.
Dobbing your mum into the Council, sad.
Foxes might keep feral cats down by eating the kittens.
Peak Warming Man said:

Thing is, if I had have done it, it would have barely changed her opinion of me.

dad (when I was little) brought some young ones home put them in the shearing shed, was feeding them, word soon got around town, and same, got a visit I think.

Hi stumpy. My Very Exciting Plans for today include a haircut, putting some cuttings into soil and seeds into seed raising mix, and going in to Hamilton to do a preliminary finalization of the books for end of financial year. When I was working full time I made time between the patients to do these things. Now I’m only working 3 days a week but seeing nearly 4 days worth, the bookwork has to be done “out of hours”. On the last week of the financial year my receptionist has agreed to work the Tuesday to do the stocktake so we don’t need to close for a day out of the three. If all plans come to fruition, that will be the third last stocktake we do. She and I have been doing a physical frame and other things count for thirty-odd years now.

it really doesn’t matter to me, but I think about the younger students who are probably already struggling and have four units to do… they probably lose a couple of weeks wages just on text books… it’s outrageous.
also what’s outrageous is the cost of the parking fees… there are two ‘zones’ the red zone which has closer car parks and green zone which are a little further away… the green zone is $200 per year… red is $480 (staff prices are higher) in what they are making in parking fees they can be subsidising the students books more

Now here’s a thing, I listened to the Comey speech on the wireless and I thought he said that a lot of what the NYT and Washington Post wrote about Trump were lies but I’ve never heard anything about that, I thought at the time it was important and went to the impartiality of his deposition.
It was late at night, maybe he didn’t say that, maybe I dreamt it or could there be another explanation?

Ah, buffy….you are so me!
My joke is this: I was watching Daisy this morning and thought she had poop stuck to her bum. I squinted at her butt from a distance, checked the poop she had just done. All looks normal. I tell mr kii that I soon as I wake up properly we have to clean Daisy’s bum – if she doesn’t get to it first. I posit that she might have eaten a green scourer (used in the house painting) as one is near the poop, but it doesn’t look like it’s been though the bowels of a dog. Plus eating a scourer is more a Grace thing…she was eating the blue painter’s tape yesterday. So…..after a bit I get mr kii to hold Daisy still, I look at the poop stain and it’s just paint. So, now we are calling the new house colour Daisy Poop. I think I still like it. Oh, the joke? She has to go to the vet this week and I can’t get the blob of paint off her butt.
Grace has paint splotches on her legs. The Rocket Scientist is a messy painter. We have a lot more painting to do :/

I tell mr kii that I soon as I wake up properly we have to clean Daisy’s bum – if she doesn’t get to it first. I posit that she might have eaten a green scourer (used in the house painting) as one is near the poop, but it doesn’t look like it’s been though the bowels of a dog. Plus eating a scourer is more a Grace thing…she was eating the blue painter’s tape yesterday. So…..after a bit I get mr kii to hold Daisy still, I look at the poop stain and it’s just paint. So, now we are calling the new house colour Daisy Poop. I think I still like it. Oh, the joke? She has to go to the vet this week and I can’t get the blob of paint off her butt.
Grace has paint splotches on her legs. The Rocket Scientist is a messy painter. We have a lot more painting to do :/
I know there is hilarity in there.. I’m just taking a moment to talk myself off a ledge.. we will resume to normal programing shortly

She looks like she has two butt holes. It’s a bit disconcerting. I keep thinking of the silly internet story of the mum who washes her bits with a washer that has glitter on it…before the gyno appointment.

I’m about to brew some rich Asmara coffee to serve with two squares of 99% cocoa choc and a mandarin.
Had an early light dinner of a single skinned & boned hen thigh cooked in a little olive oil with salt & pepper.

I discovered today how much time I actually spend doing my bookwork. I usually do it in 15-20 minute spurts when patients don’t arrive. Today I decided to just do it. Took ages. Probably not helped by me deciding to extrapolate past the end of the month so I could reconcile the superannuation payments for the staff for the financial year. And I’ve got all the figures ready for their end of year statements now. But I couldn’t calculate pays for the first two weeks of July when we are on leave because the new pay rates haven’t been posted yet. I’ll wait. I hate having to do backpay calculations.

Really hate the whole coronial process. Still waiting for them to release findings into my uncle’s death, first anniversary of which was last week. Now my other uncle, who has metastatic lung cancer, has decided he isn’t have any further treatment. Would really like an answer before he joins his brother.
Interesting…and very quiet about the ones already settled.

Yes, and there seem to be a lot of them. This is worrisome.
Masterchef ads are tipping a big surprise today, I predict that Tamara will get back in after getting kicked out yesterday.
Went shopping yesterday, no lamb, super expensive so got a ham hock instead for a soup, just have to watch how many split peas I put in, I tend to add just a little more and it ends up like a medieval pottage. Also, for some reason no tomatos were on sale which I thought unusual.
>>Also, for some reason no tomatos were on sale which I thought unusual.<<
That is odd. I’m still using last of the season one, but there are tomatoes in the supermarket. I have some frozen, and I’ve frozen chopped tomatoes and onions. But I am picking the green ones as I pull the plants out and bringing them inside. A few ripen. The rest go into the compost. We had nachos for tea tonight. I made an avocado and Brown Berry tomato salsa instead of guacamole.
AwesomeO said:
Peenam soup, eh. I Like a good peenam soup. Cheapest tomatoes were $7.50/kg at Woolies today.

The other day I grabbed the last of the tomatos from the withered plants in the veggie bed and threw them around the garden in areas where they might grow naturally.

found out this week that tomatos don’t like artificial light, but by temperature controlling, they are in season all year round
thanks …puff is difficult to make by hand though , perhaps store bought pastry is the way to go this time. I have plenty of apples here …i might add some rhubarb if I can find rhubarb available,

Different tomatoes have different background temps needed for fertilisation.It’s like 12c for black russians and 24c for grosse lisse. So there would be a shift in type grown throughout the year to do that perhaps.

One of the world’s largest digital currency companies with operations in 32 countries, Coinbase engineers and support teams have been working to keep up with the volume, the exchange said in a statement.

For added hilarity you should be a second generation ethnic who suddenly feels the need to define what is patriotism.
Aeon Foux is on, seems a decent enough movie but I have never seen it to the end, must get slow or something, and there is a doco on at 930 so looks like I am not going to finish it once again.

what is second generation?
I was born in Aus about a year after my parents arrived here. Does that make me first or second generation?
You were correct about Masterchef, A O. Well done.

I can’t take much credit, the ads hinted at a big surprise. I will take credit for the last years one where I predicted a contestant would bottle out, I had noticed before she couldn’t handle stress and there was no ads hinting about that one.

Masterchef ads are tipping a big surprise today, I predict that Tamara will get back in after getting kicked out yesterday.Went shopping yesterday, no lamb, super expensive so got a ham hock instead for a soup, just have to watch how many split peas I put in, I tend to add just a little more and it ends up like a medieval pottage. Also, for some reason no tomatos were on sale which I thought unusual.

found out this week that tomatos don’t like artificial light, but by temperature controlling, they are in season all year round
Different tomatoes have different background temps needed for fertilisation.It’s like 12c for black russians and 24c for grosse lisse. So there would be a shift in type grown throughout the year to do that perhaps.
Yes.

I’m one of the few who didn’t.
For the benefit of Witty….a list of Australian films I have on video (yes, that’s how long it is since I watched them) SBS ran an Australian film season about 15 (?) years ago. Might be 20. We taped a lot of them then. In no particular order
Breaker Morant – gets a couple of ticks
The Club
The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith – a bit black, but manageable
Newsfront – a favourite
Devil’s Playground
Picnic at Hanging Rock – well, what can you say?
The Cars that ate Paris – still gives me nightmares
One night the Moon – I can watch this over and over and over
The Tracker
Proof
Heatwave
Ten Canoes – very funny in places
Death in Brunswick
Babe
The Castle
Muriel’s Wedding – hilarious in places
The Sum of Us
Spider and Rose
The Piano
And in our more modern, DVD collection, we have
The Dish
The Rabbit Proof Fence – very sad
Samson and Delilah – even sadder
Strictly Ballroom – hilarious
The most obvious missing one would be The Last Wave.

I’ve mentioned before that Mad Max gave me nightmares when I first saw it and I avoid even hearing bits of dialogue because the mind pictures are still there.

Now if I was sailing into a pacific island and saw big turbines, I would think, yes, these people understand how to make their own energy. Not so…
“As a World Heritage-listed site, it had to be approved by Federal Environment Minister Josh Frydenberg.
But he has rejected the proposal, which he said would “have clearly unacceptable impacts”.
A spokesman for Mr Fydenberg said the “Government considered the proposed wind turbines would create a considerable, intrusive visual impact”.
“This would affect the spectacular and scenic landscapes for which the world heritage island group is recognised,” the spokesman said in a statement.”

To Vivid or to Sydney? Sydney Harbour is a must-see. Vivid is quite good. Not sure I’d bother to travel to the other side of the country to see it. Photos don;t do it justice though; need to see video as the pictures move.

I’ve never been to a show at the OH. Mum tells me we were at the opening when I was a few weeks old, but I don’t remember that.
Opera House Vivid 2017 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGgYoSFsouI
The Museum of Contemporary Art was OK, but not as good as Customs House last time we went (which was not lit up this time). Found an amazing view through the Opera House sails of the Harbour Bridge, which doesn’t stand out from here usually (as it’s not lit up). We also took a one-way walk around the Botanic Gardens, which felt like we were in IKEA being herded like sheep. It started near the Opera House and spat us out up at the Conservatory of Music, which was also lit up, but in a plain, but strange blue colour.
Conservatory of Music Strange little building near the Conservatory of Music which I thought was a part of it, but now I don’t think it is. Maybe it’s the Government House Gatehouse. Either way, it was quite an ugly building, with the blue making it even uglier.
Morning all.

Good morning Holidayers. Three degrees and dark.
I’ll show that link to Mr buffy, Rule. Thanks.
Morning.
17.8°C, 80% RH, overcast, light breezes and light rain. It has been raining on and off all night. Earlier in the night it was quite heavy. Unfortunately, I don’t know what we got, as the official rain bucket was re-purposed temporarily as a kindling container.
Doktard was happy with my post-op examination, but told me to continue with care for a few more weeks. I’m allowed back on the bike and into the surf. This is a Good Thing.
This morning: cooking stuff for the visitors who will get here for lunch. Lightly spiced cauliflower and leek soup for lunch. Veges and lamb in a strongly spiced (chilli, ginger, garlic, fish sauce, lemon and lime juices and zests and other stuff) peanut sauce for dinner. Pity about the inclement weather. I don’t think we’ll be able to take them for a nice walk.

Drizzly here, but at least it’s not full on rain. Yumm for the vegies and lamb in a spicy peanut sauce. Think I’ll make myself a good hot peanut sauce tonight to have with steamed vegies. That will be a great way to use the sweet potatoes, beans and leafy greens from the garden.

And something about not getting advertising revenue. So if ratings aren’t an issue, why aren’t advertisers paying? Surely a spot during MasterChef is worth a few bob.

I remember years ago, before all these extra channels and streaming services, it was mused that channel 10 were going to become a movies channel because they weren’t doing well.Perhaps the success of networks 7 and 9 lay in their crappy reality shows. Everyone seems to watch them.
They really bombed out with their sports coverage..
I think in Australia, that’s the last nail in your coffin
Yeah, Nine have the cricket and the NRL, Seven have the AFL. Ten did a good job with the T20 over summer but that season only goes for about 3 weeks. Since they dropped coverage of every Formula 1 race I have lot interest in that too, I rarely watch the odd race they do show from time to time because I am too lazy to look up the TV guide and see what races they are showing or not showing.
With all the streaming services available I really only watch free to air TV for live sport, mostly AFL, Cricket and Le Tour, even then I can still get those events on live streaming anyway.

Just going by the ads, they come across as contrived, the people unlikeable because they are just attention seekers and I wonder if the drama is completely scripted.
There is no such thing as a reality TV show, they are all scripted and edited.

When I was doing my chem course there was a pub across the road from where we were doing chem stuff. We organised a roster so everyone except one of us could go the the pub until they were needed. When that happened the on-duty person would hold a piece of paper with the person’s name on it up to the window.

stewed is over long on the leaf which brings out tannins which are not nice. under brewed doesn’t let the leaves steep long enough to bring out the flavours.

‘Diableries’ presents an extraordinary set of French stereo cards, which were originally published in the 1860s. They depict an imaginary underworld populated by devils, satyrs and skeletons which are very much alive and having fun.

One of the complete cards:
Are they actual human skeletons or models?
Witty Rejoinder said:
Are they actual human skeletons or models?
Probably real skeletons … of children.
Witty Rejoinder said:
Are they actual human skeletons or models?
Miniature models.
The scenes depicted in these Diableries were made in clay, on a table-top, with amazing skill, by a small bunch of gifted sculptors, and then photographed with a stereo camera. The resulting stereo pair of prints was made on thin albumen paper, and water-colours were applied to the back of the prints. The eyes of each skeleton were then pricked out with a sharp instrument, and small pieces of red gel, or blobs of reddened varnish, were applied to the back of the pricked holes. Behind this pair of prints was added a layer of tissue paper, which hid the ‘works’ to the rear surface of the view. The print and the backing tissue were then mounted together, sandwiched between two cardboard frames – each with twin cut-out ‘windows’ for the prints, and the whole was glued together to make a French Tissue stereo card and the eyes of the skeletons leap out in red, in a most macabre way! Collectors prize these cards, which are quite delicate, and must be handled with care, in order not to damage them.

Is it perfume? Is it tea?
Whatever it is it does nothing for me
Should I drink it? Or dab it on?
Can I swap it for a coffee or has all the water gone
It is hot it is wet.
It is eau de toilette
Is it from the House of Lipton or Chanel?
I only want a cup of tea not this stuff you’ve given me
If you think I’m going to drink it go to
Help me
Someone call a doctor, call a nurse!
Call an ambulance I’m poisoned
And I think it’s getting worse
I only wanted a cup of tea
But I fear that my last mouthful will be the death of me
It is hot it is wet
It is eau de toilette
To my mind it is more toilette than eau
If you want to spoil your day
Add the oil of Earl Grey
I’m reliably informed it’s bergamot….
What a mouthful
Is it perfume? Is it wee?
Whatever it’s supposed to be it doesn’t taste like tea
Should I drink it or dab it on?
Can I swap it for a coffee or has all the water gone?
It is hot it is wet
It is eau de toilette
Is it Twinings? Is it Tetley? Let me see
Go ahead make my day
But please don’t make me drink Earl Grey
All I want is a proper cup of tea

Pftt, Casterton is not as tame as you might think. A fellow fronted court in Warrnambool yesterday charged with threatening truckies over the radio that if they didn’t slow down he would shoot them. And he stood on the corner of the highway and the Portland road with a gun. Apparently. He says it wasn’t him. Psych assessment is underway.
Oh, I should say, this was at 5.30am…

The souvlaki, the garlic sauce, or eating with a knife and fork?

As in some monument or artwork “carved out of the living rock”.

Souvlakis always make you sick the morning after and it’s got nothing to do with buying them at 3 am from a dodgy van.

After 130 Years, Scientists Might Have Just ‘Rediscovered’ an Eighth Wonder of The World
After more than a century of being buried by a volcanic eruption, New Zealand’s long-lost pink and white terraces might have finally been rediscovered under layers of ash and mud.
Once hailed as a natural wonder of the world, and the largest silica deposits of their kind on Earth, it was feared that these terraces were destroyed by the 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera. But now researchers say they’ve located where they were buried, and suspect some of them have been preserved this whole time.

And there’s always the counter argument. If these women were not working in the factories they’d be out in some rice paddy earning something far less than a minimum wage. Which is why these jobs are so sought after by the local population.

This is why I no longer support free trade while there is such an imbalance between first world and third world wages, for what is essentially the same economic unit – the labour of one person at a sewing machine. How it can be worth $1 an hour in one country, $1.40 in another or $14 in another.

I think it is not in a nation’s best long term interest to encourage their business owners to move production offshore to exploit cheap wages. I think in the longer term it results in economic stagnation.

I think generally people will evaluate situations and best look after their own interests, and whilst you may think that being in the fresh air is better, the voting with the feet indicates that being inside sowing and earning more is the option that is chosen.

The USA is not a very good guide to the effects of trade on standards of living. An open economy and a strong social safety net in western Europe, Canada, Japan and Australia, has over the past 50 years resulted in real wage growth even as less efficient industries have moved offshore.

At 13:00 BST, Fire Commissioner Dany Cotton said firefighters expected to be on the scene for at least another 24 hours and she would not speculate about the cause of the blaze.
She said there were concerns that people were still inside the tower and she urged all residents to make sure they had reported themselves to police so that the authorities know they are safe.
Prime Minister Theresa May is “deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life”, said Downing Street.
Meanwhile, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is to demand a government statement in Parliament on Thursday on the tragedy, the BBC understands.

I was staying in Sydney years ago and some decently huge shit went down at a clients site. One of my techs attended and inadvertently mentioned that I was in town. I get a frantic call from a data centre manager at 11 PM on a Friday night.
“I know you’re in Sydney, you need to get here right now!”
Me: burp “Mate, if I have an accident on your site in my condition, and it’s a fairly heavily sedated condition, you will go to gaol. How soon do you want me there?”
I actually got called in on the Monday morning and was given a dressing down. That lasted about 30 seconds and then a plethora of ‘mea culpas’ were exchanged.
The BBC are reporting that six people died in that towering inferno in London (Grenfell Tower). I’d expect that number to rise markedly.
I wonder if the Republicans are a bit keen on gun control now?
There is a section of the Airport Drive that runs roughly parallel to the 03/21 runway, and there’s a clump of trees between the road and the runway. The ratio of the distance to the tree and the distance to the runway is such that incoming planes appear to be about a quarter scale and slowing descending into the trees.

My sister’s Great Dane is in his final days, having been diagnosed with osteosarcoma last weekend. Green Dream Day is this coming Saturday. My sister is devastated and can’t deal with anything so she’s leaving me to organise the urn (which I don’t mind doing). But it sucks to lose her best friend. She’s utterly heartbroken.
Yesterday I woke with a monster headache and sore throat, which seems to have calmed down thanks to a day of rest. Still, there were things I could have been doing yesterday that didn’t get done.
Last night Mr Mutant informs me that he, along with everyone else at his work, were given their 4 weeks’ notice. Mind you, he’s 6 weeks into a 6 month contract. Seems the company got a bit trigger happy and hired a bunch of people without actually securing funding. I’m still getting nowhere fast so in desperation I started looking at retail jobs again. Ergh.

Yesterday I woke with a monster headache and sore throat, which seems to have calmed down thanks to a day of rest. Still, there were things I could have been doing yesterday that didn’t get done.
Last night Mr Mutant informs me that he, along with everyone else at his work, were given their 4 weeks’ notice. Mind you, he’s 6 weeks into a 6 month contract. Seems the company got a bit trigger happy and hired a bunch of people without actually securing funding. I’m still getting nowhere fast so in desperation I started looking at retail jobs again. Ergh.
shit shit and shit… sorry to hear all that DA…

I think his are either placebo stories or homeopathic stories, they just don’t seem to cut it.
There’s a store manager at Officeworks gig going. I love Officeworks, that could be a go-er. Mr Mutant says everything will be fine and we’re not that desperate yet.
Speaking of desperation, I saw that the IGA I was deli manager at are advertising for another deli manager. I can’t think of any circumstances I’d be that desperate to apply for that job again. Although, I note the irony as the first time I applied for that job was an act of pure desperation: I’d been out of work for 5 months, Mr Mutant had lost his job and we had nothing left. If I hadn’t have gotten that job, we would have been really screwed.

Reading a Wikipedia article on the Byford Dolphin accident, what a particularly unpleasant way to die
Coward, Lucas, and Bergersen were exposed to the effects of explosive decompression and died in the positions indicated by the diagram. Subsequent investigation by forensic pathologists determined Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the 60 centimetres (24 in) in diameter opening created by the jammed interior trunk door by escaping air and violently dismembered, including bisection of the thoracoabdominal cavity which further resulted in expulsion of all internal organs of the chest and abdomen except the trachea and a section of small intestine and of the thoracic spine and projecting them some distance, one section later being found 10 metres (30 ft) vertically above the exterior pressure door.

Creating feral predator-free areas is the only way.
The general 20 million cull target they are trying to achieve barely makes a difference to their numbers, but it’s better than nothing.
Perhaps we can use feral animals as a solution to Australia’s power problems.

observer,
Do you have any type of insurance?? say home and contents, or health, or insurance on damage done to, or by your car, or maybe even income protection or life insurance?? If you do, then like many other people you choose to manage the risk of potentially large future costs by inuring a smaller cost now.. make sense right, hedge your bets so to speak…
Your stance on climate change is like saying that you don’t want to pay your premiums now because you know you’ll never have to make a claim at any point in the future and in fairness to you, that’s a valid stance if the only person affected by you being wrong is yourself… but that simply not the case is it…

So what do you think of OITNB season 5 DA?
London mayor Boris Johnson told a rival politician to ‘get stuffed’ in 2013 when he was criticised over plans to frontline fire fighting services.
Cuts and mismanagement meant Grenfell Tower ‘was a disaster waiting to happen’
Boris’s cuts – implemented in 2014 – closed 10 fire stations, with the loss of 552 firefighters’ jobs.
Labour Assembly leader Andrew Dismore asked then-Mayor Boris,
‘How can cutting fire stations, cutting fire engines and cutting firefighters post not be a reduction in fire cover? You’ve lied to the people of London.’
Boris snapped, ‘Get stuffed’ – but apologised saying, ‘It just popped out.’
When the cuts were implemented in 2014, firefighters wept and embraced each other outside stations which closed – including Britain’s oldest, in Clerkenwell.

It wasn’t as bad as season 3, but it was pretty bad.
The viewer has had a whole year to mourn Poussey, so going through it again with Taystee et al seemed like drudgery, but for the storyline, it was necessary. There were several things that just wouldn’t have happened, such as the PR crisis response, the SWAT standing around for three days and allowing the media to be at the front doors IN FRONT of the SWAT, no one noticing that more than 10 inmates were missing (remember Pennsatucky and the Chinese lady escaped through the hole in the fence), SWAT just being in front of the facility instead of surrounding it and constantly checking for possible escapes, and the whole negotiation thing was laughable: there’s no way they would have sent Fig in.
Other than that, it did nothing for character development and only very minor plot development.

Orange is the New Black (OITNB) is about Piper Chapman, convicted drug smuggler, and her adventures in a minimum security women’s prison. Loosely based on the memoirs by Piper Kerman, who serves as executive producer for the show. It’s a Netflix Original production and whole seasons are released in June each year.

You’d think so, self responsibility and all that.

I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV but I think this is down to in at least some jurisdictions (and the web doesn’t really obey borders) that you are deemed to be “publishing” your own Facebook, website, etc so are responsible for its content.

The plots are mostly ordinary and unsurprising, and there is little interesting or original dialogue. Compared to the first nine seasons they appear to be phoning it in. Episodes 5, 6, 7, 8 have been okay.

No, but if you travel to Saudi Arabia they may not let you in. Remember recent cases in the US of people trying to enter the country and being denied after posting anti-Trump rants on their Facebook?

A squirrel is living in a pine tree…
One day he feels it shaking, looks down, and sees an elephant climbing the tree.
The squirrel asks: “What are you doing climbing my tree?”
“Well, I’m coming up here to eat some pears,” says the elephant.
“You idiot, this is a pine tree, there are no pears.”
“Well I brought my own pears.”

Not stupid – greedy. Don’t take it to the dump, and pocket the commercial dumping fee they would have charged at the gate. Happens everywhere.

I saw a short interest piece about a council rubbish inspector in NSW, he went to sites of illegal dumping and went through the stuff and usually found addressed envelopes and stuff potentially identifying the dumpers and allowing the council to issue fines.

You just ditch it, and hope no-one notices or raises a fuss.
When i worked for a Council, i saw a mowing contractor dumping cuttings under trees and shrubs in parks while i was walking the dog.
Of course, he justified some of his fees to customers as covering the dump fees.
I bet he was surprised when the Council contacted him and said “we know what you’re doing – cut it out or you’ll be paying a lot more than dump fees”.

we recently bought some second hand brick pavers to make a basketball practice key for the boy. we found the perfect ones on gumtree and the seller said that they were out on the front verge and we could collect them whenever we wanted to. It just happened that we couldn’t collect them until a tuesday, while the owner was at work. So we left a note “as you can see We came to collect the brick pavers today, I know we negotiated 65c each but when we got here we managed to talk you down to 50c each. Thanks”
Isn’t that kind of like theft?

my old workbench on wheels. Now that I have built a new fixed one down one side of the garage I find this one just gets in the way. Whenever I am going to do some work I just wheel it outside out of the way.
Neither are worth much, and not sure if worth the energy of advertising them, even for $20.

Neither are worth much, and not sure if worth the energy of advertising them, even for $20.
whats the old workbench like? could it be an outdooor table?

Nah. It is the one in the background of this photo (vice have been removed). The one in the foreground has already been converted in an outdoor table.

Shame the diagram has no labels. What are we supposed to make of it?
Going on the illustrations, it seems to be saying the Mastodon is an offshoot from the African Elephant linage, but with some Indian Elephant influence in the later stage. Whilst the Mammoth’s is an offshoot of the Indian Elephant.

I didn’t feel in the least bit guilty. Compared to the choice items that some of the dump shop workers would load into their cars, the ‘loss’ of a Tom Waits CD was very small bananas, indeed.

I was required to be polite to a vegan stating that eating meat is causing the world to develop cancer and that eating meat is the only cause of cancer even more cancerous than the carcinogens found in cigarettes.
The study was in one country only and I said wow, makes you think about what is wrong in the environment to cause the problem with the meat … hey?
They stopped silent in that moment of the conversation.

There was a recent study spread over many years that compared the eating habits of large number of people. It found eating red meat is far more likely to injure your health leading to an earlier death (from multiple causes) than white meat.

Stout issued a statement that the car would be manufactured in limited quantities and sold to those who were invited to buy. Up to a hundred a year were to be made in a small factory at the corner of Scott Street and Telegraph Road (US 24), Dearborn, Michigan. Although the Scarab garnered much press coverage, at $5,000 (equivalent to $80,000 in 2010), when a luxurious and ultra-modern Chrysler Imperial Airflow cost just $1,345, very few would pay this hefty premium for innovation. Total production of the Scarab amounted to what is believed to be nine units,11 although the vehicles were never really considered “in production” and were hand-built, with no two Scarabs were identical.
Immediately following World War II, Stout built one more prototype Scarab, called the Stout Scarab Experimental.12 It was shown in 1946 and was more conventional in appearance, although still equipped with a rear engine. It was 2-door, featured a wraparound windshield and the world’s first fiberglass body. Like its metal counterparts, it too was a monocoque, built up out of only eight separate pieces and featured the world’s first fully functioning air suspension, previously developed in 1933 by Firestone. It never went into production.
Stout owned and drove his own Scarab, accumulating over 250,000 miles in travel around the United States. From WIKI; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stout_Scarab
Up to five Scarabs are reported to survive today

Stout issued a statement that the car would be manufactured in limited quantities and sold to those who were invited to buy. Up to a hundred a year were to be made in a small factory at the corner of Scott Street and Telegraph Road (US 24), Dearborn, Michigan. Although the Scarab garnered much press coverage, at $5,000 (equivalent to $80,000 in 2010), when a luxurious and ultra-modern Chrysler Imperial Airflow cost just $1,345, very few would pay this hefty premium for innovation. Total production of the Scarab amounted to what is believed to be nine units,11 although the vehicles were never really considered “in production” and were hand-built, with no two Scarabs were identical.
Immediately following World War II, Stout built one more prototype Scarab, called the Stout Scarab Experimental.12 It was shown in 1946 and was more conventional in appearance, although still equipped with a rear engine. It was 2-door, featured a wraparound windshield and the world’s first fiberglass body. Like its metal counterparts, it too was a monocoque, built up out of only eight separate pieces and featured the world’s first fully functioning air suspension, previously developed in 1933 by Firestone. It never went into production.
Stout owned and drove his own Scarab, accumulating over 250,000 miles in travel around the United States. From WIKI; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stout_Scarab
Up to five Scarabs are reported to survive today
Which end is that?
Good morning Holidayers. Four degrees. Dark.
I got up 3/4 hour ago and haven’t managed to get away to work yet. I did do some exercises and read a couple of emails. I’ll get dressed now and head off.

Moby has released a new album. More Fast Songs About the Apocalypse is the producer’s second full-length with the Void Pacific Choir; the first, These Systems Are Failing, was released last fall. Moby announced his new album via a mysterious press release “from the desk of John Miller,” seemingly written from the perspective of the fictional spokesperson that Donald Trump invented to speak with reporters over the telephone back in the 1980s. “the first album they released is very noisy…as is this second album, just see the title, pretty clear. but it’s like they hate america and think it’s NOT GREAT AGAIN,” it reads. “so, don’t listen to this as i won’t be listening, even though they are giving it away for free! idiots!” Download the new album here and check out the press release here. Moby was reportedly asked by the Trump administration to DJ the president’s inauguration, an offer that he declined. https://moby-andthevoidpacificchoir.wetransfer.com/downloads/65821034402248550dc352801e6bb23220170608162325/0e2d5fGood morning. The forecast of rain for today and the weekend has now been dropped. Will now be getting just general gloominess instead, but at least I’ll be able to get into the garden for some vegie planting. I need more peas. I used to be able to grow them, but the last few years have been dismal. Maybe this will be the year….
ugh…it’s like 39° outside.
Home from an appointment then a quick trip to the hardware. mr kii asked if I wanted to wait in the pickup as he was just going to be quick. Silly him. It’s too hot to wait outside.
I walked through the plant section and didn’t buy anything! Then I remembered that I wanted to set up a hummingbird feeder until the flame acanthus bushes flower. So….one new feeder, some “special” food, a pack of cheesecloth squares (just because you can never have too much cheesecloth), a small galvanized bucket and a shit load of colour sample cards for my idea of greyish/lilac window frames. Plus an idea of how to repaint the “stable” doors on the store room/laundry, using the lilac/grey, faded/distressed painting technique.
Tomorrow The Rocket Scientist is arriving at sparrow’s fart o’clock to paint some more exterior walls.

Morning all.
20.2°C, 89% RH, 6/8 low cloud (increasing) and variable, very light breezes. We had considerable rain yesterday and the night before, but the rain bucket was not in it’s proper place as it had been temporarily re-purposed as a fire-side backyard table.
I’d better move the wheelbarrow so it can dry out under the carport. I don’t want it rusting.

wrong topic. sorry.
And now I’m marking student assessment work which has obviously been ‘fed’ to them by their normal lead instructor.
*sigh *
The national vocational education & training framework is circling the drain…
Actually starting to think the work might have been done by the lead instructor, and the students just wrote their names on the front page.
Had an interesting experience last week – Training teenagers in a pre-apprenticeship Carpentry course who had ‘support’ workers assisting them because they had some learning difficulties. In this instance, ‘support’ seemed to mean sitting next to the kid and telling them the answers to the test.
All going well, they’ll be building people’s houses in the near future.

Good news. My car key came back to life today.
Yesterday morning it went through the washing machine. I spent most of yesterday afternoon trying to open it up to get to the battery, eventually getting it prized open with a strong sharp knife and then discovering that everything inside was soaking wet and badly corroded.

The BP & statin are a daily dose common to many middle-aged people.
The painkillers are just for a few aches and liverishness.

Is it reasonably old? If so it just probably requires a battery replacement. If it’s a holden you’re fucked. The weld the battery in and if you manage to remove it without keeping power to the device ‘at all times’ the memory claps out and it no longer works.

Let’s see 160 mil ATO fraud case plus 60 mil fraud case is a monthly payment off the Aus credit card payment for the nation’s deficit.

Maybe they can put a little more squeeze on the Germans’ guilt feelings about what they did there in the Grand Hellenic Visit of 1941-44, and so put off reality a bit longer.
Well with my belly pretty much full to capacity, I’m going to have to retire for a lay-me-down for an hour or so.
I’ll leave party_pants in charge of the bar.

I find those reports of ’0.1 mm of rain’ at some location quite annoying.
That’s not rain – that’s condensation in the rain gauge.

Greetings of the morn.
Waiting for the sun to rise and the arrival of The Rocket Scientist, house-painting resumes at 0630hrs.
Got to get that paint on before it all turns to a day of unbearable heat.

The paint is a special one for stucco – Elastomeric or something. It just dries quickly in the pan or bucket.

Tonight’s episode of TROSH: The Looting of the Specie Room, set on a Transatlantic liner and starring the unusual-faced character actor Ronald Fraser, familiar from many an old film, including Flight of the Phoenix where he played Sergeant Watson:
The identity of the stuff between stars has been a mystery for over a hundred years. This is the latest salvo.
As a result of the search for the identity of the chromophores responsible for producing the
diffuse interstellar bands, a comprehensive exposition of experimental data is presented, which
implicates the following molecules: 1. The extremely stable organic molecules, magnesium
tetrabenzoporphyrin (MgTBP) and H2TBP. 2. A paraffin matrix (referred to as “grains”)
containing TBPs. 3. A low concentration of pyridine (also within the grains), whose transmission
window at 2175Å, accounts for the ubiquitous UV bump. The blue emission spectra associated
with the central star, HD44179, of the Red Rectangle displays the fluorescence excitation spectra
of bare MgTBP. This unique spectrum matches the low temperature lab data of MgTBP in the
vapor phase. An effective grain temperature of 2.728 K (+/- 0.008) was deduced, based on
MgTBP’s lowest measured vibrational state of 341 GHz.

Quite a test of acting ability. Pretend screams are rarely as loud as real ones, and usually have a ‘musical’ quality lacking the genuine article.

My sister has two dogs and one of them is being put to sleep today due to bone cancer. Originally she wanted to take the other one too to “help her understand” but the other one is a terror and she’d be more distracted with dog2 than dog1. So I’m going over to look after dog2 because dog2 normally frets whenever dog1 isn’t there… only this time dog1 isn’t coming home.
Is there anything special to do when one dog doesn’t come home?

This or put something of the other dog in the bed with the remaining dog. They might like the comfort of this for a while, then wash the object or toy after a one month and then leave the object there for another month and remove the object and see how the dog reacts. If they cope then great, if not replace the object and then try this at a later stage etc etc

So sorry about your sister’s dog :(
I have two dogs and worry about Daisy’s demise…actually it won’t bother Grace at all…because she wants ALL the attention.
When we lived in the mountains the neighbours’ staffy died. His daughter – yes, the dead dog’s actual daughter, howled when left along. I’d try to comfort her over the fence. The dog psychologist they consulted said to ignore her howling. So, I did what the neighbours asked…..until she broke out of the house, through the fence and up into our place to sit on my feet while I forummed. She was so lonely. She didn’t even try to attack my cat – The Black Cat known as kiisu.

House painting….so far I have managed to avoid applying any paint!
The Rocket Scientist has nearly made it once around the house -mainly the big spaces and the lower level of this higher section of the house. mr kii has been working on the top of the stucco walls – it’s like little ramparts. Both dogs have spots of paint on them still.The floors are dirty because I am so busy supervising everything and making food and providing cold drinks. We have to down paintbrushes before noon as it gets too hot and the thick paint dries too fast.
I thought I had the window trims etc figured out (colour-wise), but TRS is also a colour nerd and camo nerd and graphic artist nerd, and he started going on about Pantone colours and got all technical on tones and shit, I was going with what made me feel happy.
We resume painting on Sunday morning at 6am.
Morning.
19.1°C, 89% RH, nearly calm, overcast and scattered showers. Rained on and off all night. I have yet to check the official rain-capturing bucket, but there will be no need for garden watering today, not tomorrow. Visitors brought mud crabs (cooked and eaten) and prawns (consumed as a creamy pasta dish) last night and left their Mercedes Benz.

Not sure how to best let the other dog cope, but I think it really depends on the nature of the relationship they had. My mum worried so much about this, but when it actually happened, the remaining dog seemed to cope OK after a few days.
I don’t think replacing a dog with a new one is a solution, at least in the short term.

“Writing off on tax” doesn’t mean you don’t pay for it. It means you don’t pay tax on the money used to pay for the article, which if the article is genuinely used only in producing income, is perfectly reasonable.

you don’t get a 100% tax write off. plus they would forego the write off on the extra diesel used to spray herbicides. plus the write off on labour. plus write off on chemicals.

And then, over the subsequent several years, depreciation is claimed on the item, reducing tax paid so that the initial cost of the item is eventually recovered.
The tax not paid to government revenue as a result of the depreciation allowance has to be made up from other sources, which usually means from other taxpayers, whether by raising current taxes or introducing new charges.

No, the initial cost of the item is never recovered.
If the item is subject to depreciation that just means it takes longer to get back the income tax on what you paid for it. You can’t claim the full amount of tax when you purchase it, then keep claiming depreciation.
Income tax is paid on nett income, i.e. profit, which is perfectly reasonable.

Are you suggesting that depreciation as an expense should be non-deductible?

And then, over the subsequent several years, depreciation is claimed on the item, reducing tax paid so that the initial cost of the item is eventually recovered.
The tax not paid to government revenue as a result of the depreciation allowance has to be made up from other sources, which usually means from other taxpayers, whether by raising current taxes or introducing new charges.
Are you suggesting that depreciation as an expense should be non-deductible?
Depreciation is a boon to those who have good accountants.
I know of one very successful bloke whose slogan was ‘only fools pay tax’.
He referred to his very nice large boat as ‘the tax department’ – as in “i have to go to the tax department today”.
When asked why he referred to it by that name, he said ‘because it was the tax department that paid for it’.

Yes. It is a grand concept and yet another arrow in the sheaths of those who seek world domination of wheat.

Apparently not poison to wobblies.
Even just a few minutes from the CBD, my sister’s garden in South Hobart is continually beset by destructive possum and even wallaby activities.

People who steal money by claiming depreciation expenses are criminals, but that doesn’t make claiming depreciation for valid business related capital costs a bad thing.
It’s like saying no-one should get unemployment payments, because there are some people who claim it who are not entitled to it.
Do get a few possums and even the odd wallaby in my garden, but they’re outnumbered by the hares & rabbits.
But none of them make much impact on the garden. It’s the excavator that did that.

In the eyes it may cause pain, swelling and temporary blindness. If eaten symptoms may include burning lips, tongue and mouth, excess spit and vomiting. Jatropha species, family Euphorbiaceae. All parts of the plant may cause burning in the throat, nausea, severe vomiting and diarrhoea.

It’s like saying no-one should get unemployment payments, because there are some people who claim it who are not entitled to it.
Most expenses incurred in the course of earning an income can be deducted from that income.
If you buy work uniforms, you can claim the cost of these against your income earned.
Similarly, if a farmer buys a machine to earn his income, he/she can claim for the cost of this machine against the income earned. However, as it is a capital expense, depending on the value of the purchase, most times in cannot be claimed 100% in the year it is purchased. As capital purchases often last for many years, the expense must be spread out over many years too. This often means that a farmer needs to think carefully about his cash-flow and any financial hardship this could cause in the interim. As cash outlay is usually required up-front, he/she will have to pay tax on the difference in the meantime, then recover it against future income (as depreciation).
Depreciation is not a scam. Depreciation is not cheating. It is simply an attempt to match the expense of the purchase as closely to the income it produces as possible.
Surely this farmer isn’t buying this thing for the fun of it.

There were so many very nice small herbaceous non descript plants out there in the forest before the wallabies. Some few plants seem to resist, some that got away will be okay(some sassafras and dogwood and such) but I reckon the wallabies have done decades worth of clearing of forest floor. But they have fashioned the forest. There will be no myrtles. They were growing too slowly.

The re-introduction of wolves in parts of North America had a dramatic effect on the environment. The large herbivores like Moose were eating all the riparian vegetation, which stopped the germination and grow that controlled erosion and permitted the trees that the Beaver ate and used to build dams. Very quickly the Beavers moved in to build the dams and created many ponds, which provided habitat for many other animals. All this illustrates the importance of the top predators in reducing numbers and keeping these grazing animals on the move, so they do not have time to do serious damage to the vegetation.
Introducing Wolves to Tasmania might be a little extreme, but the removal of the Thylocene and the deaths of so many Tasmanian Devils might be the root cause of your current situation.

There weren’t any here at all 30 years ago. Pademelons took over after the ’92 fire drove them here. And there are two families on this mountain looking after rescued babies and releasing them…so there are now three varieties where once there was none.

industrial workers of the world.
The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), members of which are commonly termed “Wobblies”, is an international labor union that was founded in 1905 in Chicago, Illinois in the United States of America.
Bradie Gray, who hails from Tamworth, has suffered broken ribs, a bruised aorta and collapsed lungs after the incident at Wyoming’s College National Finals Rodeo.
The 20-year-old had no pulse when he arrived at the Wyoming Medical Centre and was placed in a medically induced coma and on a ventilator.
On Tuesday, Gray, a junior at Odessa College in Texas, told the Star Tribune he was returning from the fifth serious injury of his college rodeo career.
He had suffered a broken back, twice broken his jaw, suffered a torn groin and a broken collarbone.

I think it’s time Bradie gave it away.

The wet forest is certainly the habitat of the Pademelon, but as you state the Red-necked Wallaby is more suited to the dryer forests and coastal areas where there is dense vegetation, plus areas of open grassland. Land clearing has created an in between habitat where the forest edges of these wetter areas are acceptable as they too provide the shelter, plus the open areas in which to graze. Sounds like they are converting your bush to a more open habitat that is more to their liking.

Bradie Gray, who hails from Tamworth, has suffered broken ribs, a bruised aorta and collapsed lungs after the incident at Wyoming’s College National Finals Rodeo.
The 20-year-old had no pulse when he arrived at the Wyoming Medical Centre and was placed in a medically induced coma and on a ventilator.On Tuesday, Gray, a junior at Odessa College in Texas, told the Star Tribune he was returning from the fifth serious injury of his college rodeo career.
He had suffered a broken back, twice broken his jaw, suffered a torn groin and a broken collarbone.
—————————————————————I think it’s time Bradie gave it away.
Broken ribs
Bruised aorta (that’s bad – you need a healthy aorta to live, you know)
Collapsed lungs (also bad – functioning lungs are on most people’s ‘must have’ lists)
All in all, it looks like Nature’s way of saying, “try another line of work, kid”.

no.
if I was I would say that we are getting less winter rain than in the past. and that may well be true.

I’m in wet forest on the south of the ridge. There are only a few hours of sun here a day now. I think what I am saying is that lots of the botanic diversity is being knocked out of the forest. And that this isn’t the normal run of a wallaby.

Interesting, in recent years the Esperance winters also seem to be dryer, but the summer rainfall heavier, resulting in low lying areas remaining wetter for much longer periods.

This is when I am supposed to be getting my annual rain. February average is something like .9 of an inch. I don’t get it when I need it. I have low tanks at the moment. Rain is not forecast. But the driveway isn’t muddy. And I like that.

From the mature rainforest areas I have been, in Tasmania, NSW and Victoria, once you get past the outer dense vegetation layer, they tend to be quite open and easy to walk around, as the darker habitat stops all but specially adapted species. Perhaps your forest is likewise transitioning as the tree cover thickens.

My crab and prawn stock is reducing now. Its been strained. I guess it’s about 4 or 5 litres of crustacean-flavoured reddish-brown goodness. I think I’ll reduce it further in a little while by taking a fair bit out for soups and hiding that lot in the fridge for use over the next day or two.

Dinner’s nearly ready but it’s too early for it. And surveying my wine supply, I’d benefit from an extra bottle of the fine Shiraz I’m sipping at the moment.
So I’d better change into village clothes and go and get one. But first I’ll take the lamb out of the oven.

I’d like to see images of damage to the merchant ship. From the look of the damage to the USS Fitzgerald, the initial suggestion is that the warship failed to give way to a vessel approaching from starboard (the right). you give way to the right at sea (Rule 15, International Rules for Prevention of Collision at Sea).
Then there’s Rule 5 (proper lookout), Rule 6 (safe speed), Rule 7 (risk of collision), Rule 8 (action to avoid collision), Rule 16 (the give-way vessel), Rule 17 (the stand on vessel), and, as always, rule 2 (responsibility – the general prudential rule), most of which would apply to both vessels.
There’s rarely a quick answer to be had.

I will look at Bunnings then. Right now I can’t think of anything to clamp a piece of steel onto. (All the steel I have atm is A3 or under..)
It’ll be interesting to see if the USN tries to fit up the merchant captain for it, like they’ve done before with others (see ‘No Case To Answer’ by Joanne Stevenson, Alpha books, 1971)

OK I invested some time in it.
Got to one page that had more answer lines than questions, that was fine, easy mistake to make.
A couple of pages later there was a set of questions relating to happiness where you had to adjust a slider from 0 to 10 where 0 was unhappy and 10 was well happy with your life.
The slider only went to 5, that’s when I bailed.
I don’t judge them fit enough to come up with anything meaningful.

I’m up to “Not all ghosts are dangerous”.
How is someone who doesn’t believe in ghosts supposed to answer that?
Oh, and I learnt about some more strange creatures that I hadn’t heard of. I did seem to have heard of a lot of them though. I did say I’d seen an nonhuman creature – anything not human is a non human creature. Very bad wording on that question.

Verdict on the lamb dinner: very tasty. In fact the lamb has rather more taste than one would normally desire, so I’m thinking it was quite an old lamb.Tonight’s TROSH will be: The Mystery of the Amber Beads.
getting close to hogget.
I like a piece of hogget. Perhaps it was a ram lamb?
It’s not unpleasant, just rather strong. I’m thinking I would have smoked it if I knew it would be this strong.

I think the yeti and bigfoot should have been separate questions. I am prepared to accept the yeti is some species of bear adapted to high altitude conditions, but not the north american bigfoot.

It’ll be interesting to see if the USN tries to fit up the merchant captain for it, like they’ve done before with others (see ‘No Case To Answer’ by Joanne Stevenson, Alpha books, 1971)
You’d have to think that the Naval Captain has just had his career burnt.
The careers of the USN people in 1969 didn’t suffer all that badly.
The captain of the American ship, who was asleep in his bed at the time of the collision, and who had left an unqualified officer and an inexperienced officer on watch, was found guilty of dereliction of duty and negligently hazarding his ship. His naval career was effectively ended. The two junior officers (who pleaded guilty to the two charges) had their names moved lower on the promotions list.
It’s asking me “how satisfied are you with your spiritual life?”, when the term “spiritual” doesn’t mean anything to me.
But if I put the slider at “zero” it will make it seem that I’m dissatisfied, rather than just rolling my eyes.

I finished it.
Didn’t think much of some of the questions, but didn’t even notice that one.
Didn’t like the implication that you are either religious or devoid of any sort of non-mechanistic or emotional mental activity.
Is this forum messing with the researchers? We could all do it multiple times.

I think I put a 5 for that one.
i just answered as accurately a possible and didn’t over think it.

I took it to mean how satisfied am I with my unspiritual life and gave it maximum satisfaction.

Not me. It is not the census.
It is tempting to do it again believing in everything.

Lord only knows what deductions these kids come up with, incompetent kids playing with interactive research software that they don’t fully understand how it works.
But the real scary thing is the ABC work experience kid will make it headlines in a couple of months after it’s peer reviewed (rolls eyes)

I have been sitting in front of the fire with my giant chopping board, some steel plates, and a metal file. Knock the corner off, file along an edge, knock the corner off, file along the ledge, knock the corner off, file along an edge, knock the corner off, file along the edge. Flip plate and repeat.
I’ve done five small ones. I shall do a bunch more small ones and a couple of larger ones. And then tomorrow I shall wet and dry.

Yes, every word of that is consistent with what I’ve read about the incident; I’ve also read that King demonstrated a total lack of impartiality during the inquiry.

What I am getting ready for is steel etching. (I have a small class next month. I am preparing plates for myself and a few for the class.)
After I get rid of the sharp bits on the plate I will try to polish them up the best I can by hand.(At uni I used a grinder machine thingy)
I am going to apply various grounds to the plates. Bitumen to draw into with a sharp needle. And soft ground, a combination of bitumen and beeswax that takes nice impressions.
Then I will make up a diluted nitric acid bath. (I might check in here first) that will etch into the places I have taken impressions or drawn into.
I will then ink the plates in an ‘intaglio’ method..pushing the ink into the etched places and wiping off what I don’t need.

Too slow.
I don’t understand the concept. Super fast but includes accommodation. Seems unnecessary since that is what speed in transport is all about – the shorter the transit time the less space per passenger required.
Either have a super fast inter-city train with conventional airline seats, or have shipping containers (or similar) modified to luxury accommodation capsules and crane them on and off a train into a hotel rack.

Yeah.
The photopolymer process i used was..
collect a lot of photocopied bits. at one stage I had a vegi box full. Some of it was photocopied marks I had made.
Make collages. Sometimes I also drew onto the collages.
Scan collages to over head acetate.
In a dark room, the acetate was placed over a plate, and exposed. I used a great machine for this that applied a bit of a vacuum sticking the acetate to plate and the whole rotated 90 degrees to point at the light set up.
The plates were then etched in warm water. It was a nice thing to do. After etching they would cure in hard sunlight.
They were then printed in the intaglio method.

I think I could possibly set this up at home. I think it might cost. maybe a few thousand. Maybe a lot less if things were dodgied.

It is possible to expose these plates in the sun. but I don’t think I could ask them to perform the same way outside of the darkroom studio.
Sounds very industrious.

King did everything possible to whitewash the USN’s culpability in the disaster, to deny Captain Stevenson RAN any sort of assistance or advice, to obstruct and divert lines of enquiry, and to attempt to shift the blame onto the Australian ship and to Captain Stevenson in particular.
And senior RAN officers involved in the inquiry rolled over and went along with all ofit.

vacuum frame, and a point source of light. you can get away with a nice flat piece of glass and no vacuum. need a fairly heavy piece to keep the acetate in good contact with the plate. probably use a quartz halogen workshop light to expose it. need to work out distances x exposure times.

Yeah. a few different types. the tafe peoples use a lot of the one that is used for relief and in advertisings. I was using a photogravure type.It is expensive but I did my masters on a bulk buy of 20 x A2 sheets, that I cut up. I did sell a few. It was about $800 for the lot but It kep me going for years and I sold off a few sheets too.

melbourne etching.
what is the photosensitive coating on the plate? are there different ones?
Yeah. a few different types. the tafe peoples use a lot of the one that is used for relief and in advertisings. I was using a photogravure type.It is expensive but I did my masters on a bulk buy of 20 x A2 sheets, that I cut up. I did sell a few. It was about $800 for the lot but It kep me going for years and I sold off a few sheets too.
I don’t have access to a big guillotine anymore.
dunno if ever you have seen this method

ahhh i see you buy pre coated. I was wondering as we, in printing, never needed UV lights.

I’m slowly working on the more lino cut 😕
House painting and renovations have taken over my life. I thought mr kii would take a week or so when he retired to slob around, but he’s hit the ground running. I’ve got shelves (and more to come e) in my workroom , house is half painted, door jambs are fixed…..I spent some time doing one moth’s wing yesterday. I hope to get the whole moth finished and posted in time. 1 month to go.

I’ve seen sort of similar things going down in the printmaking dept.
I was warned by the metal tech that eventually his steel supply will end and I will have to go copper. Steel etching is very un OHS these days.

mr kii’s brother is back in hospital and the text messages his wife is sending out are full of prayer crap and new age healing crap and and and…..*screams *
She did an introductory course in something…“pranic healing” yesterday and did some work on my BIL as he’s lying in a hospital bed on morphine, not being able to eat and in pain. He slept for 4 hours (as did she) and he’s improved now!!!
I want to hit her.
She also said he’s given himself over to God. This man is very intelligent, a scientist and as far as we know – an atheist. I’m confident that he is placating her.
So….everyone else is praying – “T&P”. We are thinking of him.
I don’t know why people do that. My wife is a believer, but she’s very well aware that I’m a rusted on atheist.

morning bubblecar and transition
Good morning Holidayers. We have 7 degrees and fog this morning. I think I’ll go to the cafe for borek for breakfast ad then head over to Casterton for some gardening. The plan is for an overnight stay again and then Mr buffy will join me tomorrow morning to mow grass. I do have a big mess there needing mowing in. I put the pulled weeds out onto the grassed areas and they go under the ride-on. I also need to move more bricks.

As this has been mis-trialled now, this reporting seems a bit biassed. To me it reads with a underlying assumption of guilt, which really should not be the case. I’m pretty sure the American system is innocent until proven guilty, the same as us.

Tell her it is no use praying. It is God’s will that her husband is unwell & it is arrogant of her to attempt to change the decision of the Almighty.

Cosby has admitted to giving drugs to women and sexually assaulting them in past affidavits. This, and the shear number of women involved makes me pretty sure he is guilty. Of course if he is acquitted in any subsequent trials he will be deemed innocent of any crimes and all that goes along with it.

meh…I don’t talk to her.
The first time I met her she was dressed inappropriately for the mid-winter weather (strappy high heels, low cut sparkly top…thin jacket) and complained all the time about being cold. I nearly said…“Try putting some more clothes on next time.” But, it was xmas and I had only just met her.
The second time I met her she was doing stretches on the floor and primping herself, and her favourite thing….prattling on about herself. Then she turned to me and said: I’m a “hoochie mumma!” (meaning she’s a “hot” older woman or something) I nearly said…“A slut?”, but we were visiting another family member.
We’re the same age. Exactly. We have the same birthdays.

Do you know what caused it?
I often get severe neck/shoulder pain. I have a very straight section between my shoulder blades, and apparently lots of damage to my neck caused by bras and big breasts. A number of health professionals have suggested I look at being assessed for reduction.

I have no respect for or empathy sex offenders or pedophiles. His strategy , is cowardly but some how that seems a compliment. The one thing about being famous is that when you caught everybody knows.
Sex offenders go through the system often without obvious attention. His actions show just one case under the spot light.

I remember those temperatures from when I lived in Central West NSW and I remember my FIL saying but this is a dry heat. I thought feck once the temp is near the 40’s humid or not it is still too f’kn hot to think about doing much outdoors.

For those who were wondering last night about the collision between the warship and the container ship near Japan:
pictures of damage to both ships don’t help much. Possible scenarios suggest that either ship might be ‘at fault’.
Without knowing their relative course prior to the collision, and the constraints on each vessels movements in the circumstances, i doubt that anyone could say at this stage what happened.

This is the diagnosis of Mrs rb’s persistent coughing.

Owww! Mrs McG had shingles last year. It’s awful enough on the outside of your body. Hope that Mrs rb can get some effective help very quickly.
And a change of plans here. The fog is not lifting, so I won’t go to Casterton today. Everything will be damp. We will go tomorrow, in separate cars, in the late morning and hopefully the grass will be a bit drier tomorrow afternoon. I’ll stay over and do a bit more brick moving on Tuesday morning before coming home.

There’s a popular new bakery in Toowoomba, which has queues out the door whenever it’s open.
Went there yesterday (queue not terribly long) and got choc croissants, plain croissants, caramel croissants, savoury croissants. They were sold out of sausage rolls before 10:00am (disappointment).
Croissants all eaten between then and now.
A lady at work from Austria says that the bakery’s pastries are as good as anything she’s had in Vienna or Paris, and they’re damn good indeed.

I guess one consolation is that for her, a persistent cough could have turned out to be something much nastier indeed.

Here beginneth the narrative – the work area is prepared and the biscuit mix made:
There will now be a bit of time involved while I wash up to get some space on the other side of the kitchen and then roll, cut and bake. Once I start baking I have to keep the production line going or I forget and burn some. I will do photos along the way…
Because who doesn’t need something to do on a Sunday but read about some woman making biscuits!
:)
So, let’s test it with some more of the biscuit narrative:
—————-
I seem to be getting a bit blurry pictures today. I’ll recharge the camera. And I’ll take more care with the auto focus…
And the cooling rack….and what happens when you come back to the forum while the last tray is in the oven. However, I actually like well cooked biscuits, so those are mine!
——————-
Can someone point Arts to these when she comes in please? I’m going to do the final bits, there will be one more picture (I think).
is lot of sun’n happy birds

wagtail now doin’t chorus
And the last one. I think only the frogs and crocodile really lend themselves to jamming together. I’ll have a think about the elephants. Maybe they should be iced and decorated with sprinkles or something. The lions are a tad difficult to handle when uncooked, but fine once they are set. I like the texture that I tried on that last one around the mane area. He got burnt/browned, but the method should work OK.
Looks like Wil Anderson told one of Boris’ jokes on a plane yesterday.
Police rushed to the airport and arrested him when the plane landed, he was questioned and then released.
Close run thing.

There is one comes up on the left when I open it up, which I close immediately, one that then comes in the middle, which I close immediately and then some other stuff that I close immediately. I have no idea what any of them are about, I am able to ignore ads. There may be others on the right hand side. After the initial opening up, they aren’t there. No big deal. I don’t need to pay to stop them.

There is a facebook group where you can upload an old photo and the group uploads ‘fixes.’ Tis interesting to see how people make different decisions.My sister had been carrying around a photo of my nephew in her wallet for 35 years or so. It was creased and had faded to blue tones. The half dozen interpretations she got back were very different. (Some were very good)

With my internet being slower than 90-something % of Australia, getting rid of the ads really speeds it up when uploading snaps.

Question from Little Speedy…
Could you swim in mercury?
Speedy said:
Question from Little Speedy…Could you swim in mercury?
Probably more of a crawl across the surface.
Speedy said:
Question from Little Speedy…Could you swim in mercury?
Yes and no.
In theory you should be able to, since it has a density greater than that of water a human would definitely float on it. I am not sure about the viscosity or surface tension however, it might be like trying to swim through syrup.
However, mercury is highly toxic and can be absorbed through the skin, or the vapour inhaled. So while you wouldn’t die by sinking and drowning in it, you’d probably die of poisoning.
So the answer would be no, you’d die.
Speedy said:
Question from Little Speedy…Could you swim in mercury?
doubtful
i’m having a read, half interesting
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_%28element%29
A complete explanation of mercury’s extreme volatility delves deep into the realm of quantum physics, but it can be summarized as follows: mercury has a unique electron configuration where electrons fill up all the available 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 3d, 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f, 5s, 5p, 5d, and 6s subshells. Because this configuration strongly resists removal of an electron, mercury behaves similarly to noble gases, which form weak bonds and hence melt at low temperatures.
The stability of the 6s shell is due to the presence of a filled 4f shell. An f shell poorly screens the nuclear charge that increases the attractive Coulomb interaction of the 6s shell and the nucleus (see lanthanide contraction). The absence of a filled inner f shell is the reason for the somewhat higher melting temperature of cadmium and zinc, although both these metals still melt easily and, in addition, have unusually low boiling points.

Hmmm. That was what I thought. Is this simply due to higher density? I thought there may be some other factors at play here. Cohesive forces? Surface tension?
When we were kids, my brother had a jar with mercury in it. Half the street’s kids would come to our place and have a go at playing with it. It was great fun. When you stuck your finger in it, you could part the mercury easily and your finger would always come out completely dry. Actually, maybe there would be a small amount of dry grey residue left over, but that didn’t matter much as it was now snack time!
wiki
Mercury readily combines with aluminium to form a mercury-aluminium amalgam when the two pure metals come into contact. Since the amalgam destroys the aluminium oxide layer which protects metallic aluminium from oxidizing in-depth (as in iron rusting), even small amounts of mercury can seriously corrode aluminium. For this reason, mercury is not allowed aboard an aircraft under most circumstances because of the risk of it forming an amalgam with exposed aluminium parts in the aircraft.

“It was allegedly used by allied spies to sabotage Luftwaffe planes: a mercury paste was applied to bare aluminium, causing the metal to rapidly corrode; this would cause structural failures.”

While it’s true that mercury compounds are poisonous, liquid elemental mercury is not terribly toxic. See http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM200006153422405 for a report of a 21-year-old dental assistant who unsuccessfully tried to kill herself by injecting 135g of elemental mercury intravenously. Dimethylmercury is a mercury compound that is extremely toxic; Professor Karen Wetterhahn was a professor of chemistry at Dartmouth College who accidentally spilled a few drops of the compound on the protective gloves she was wearing during an experiment. She took ten months to die, even though she was assiduously following required safety procedures. Mercury vapour is extremely toxic, and mercury has a very high vapour pressure, so it evaporates fairly quickly in air at STP. Party_pants’s comments about Hg being absorbed by the skin are correct, too; mercury is also a cumulative poison.
As to whether you could swim in it, the human body’s density is about 1g/cm3 (since we’re approximately neutrally buoyant in water), whereas Hg’s density is about 13.5g/cm3, so, as p_p commented, you’d float much higher than you could swim.
So you might die from the effects of mercury poisoning, but you probably couldn’t swim in it.

It looks like whilst both Adam’s and the Olympian’s times were slightly slower, Adam’s was put down to possible margin of error and the Olympian’s to a “thrown” technique.

Thanks btm. Just reading the Karen Wetterhahn link. Do you know why it would have taken so long for the mercury levels to peak in her system?
My poor galah has had heavy metal poisoning twice. It is very distressing to watch when it happens. Vets saved him both times but what must be this “chelation” process.

Sorry about the unwellness DA.
Also sorry about the double post in Forum Update.

Seems to be the sick season.
Being a lumberjack I’m OK, well except for the tooth ache.
Cool and sunny in the Pearl this morning, dart throwers are saying possible showers.
Good morning all. Still drizzly here. It was supposed to be sunny on Wednesday, but now that too has become a day of possible showers. first world problems.

Good morning Holidayers. Eight degrees at 7.00am here. Not much more now. But I’ve finally dragged the ladder inside and cleaned the ceiling fan in the kitchen. So, of course, then I had to wash the floor. But the washing machine didn’t need me to watch it, it successfully washed the towels while I did the floor. I’m going to Casterton to do more tidying of the garden. Mr buffy is going to the gym and then he will come to Casterton to mow grass this afternoon. We’ve moved into a season where you have to mow in the afternoon because the grass is wet in the morning. We have been so used to dryness that this is taking some getting used to.
I will probably stay over tonight in Casterton because there are still things to do. I have selected Best in Show for my entertainment.

To three decimal places. Wow! What a rain gauge.
I must buy a rain gauge that goes to 3 decimal places.
Morning.
16.5°C, 77% RH, nearly calm and clear. Walked to the beach yesterday, but it became cloudy and breezy as we walked. There was quite a current in the surf, so I decided not to try out my new belly and went for a walk instead. That was nice. I’ll try again today. Nothing of great note to report, sorry.
I hope you all have a great day.

It’s been an odd virus. I woke up Wednesday with a monster headache and sore throat. Thursday, Friday and Saturday I was fine. Yesterday I felt dizzy and nauseous all day and lost my voice. Today I’m fine except for no voice.

While I’m thinking about it.
Would banning publishing the names of the terrorists and the terrorist group responsible be a disincentive?
I wonder if the fire was a terrorist hit?
If there was no media news about terrorist hits would these attacks continue?
Would reforming religion help?
I sure am tired of hearing this stuff.

If someone is going to commit a crime against humanity and blow themselves up can those emotions be detected on a person face?
It does not matter what country the person comes from, its the emotions that matter.
That means everyone on the morning train is a terrorist plotter!

I don’t think terrorists wear their plans on their faces. It’d be like customs officers looking at body language for drug mules; it’s not always obvious. And what happens if the authorities go after the wrong people? Or the terrorists create a diversion?

It would be all the bits I liked about the job but not serving customers if I didn’t want to lol. I’m not going to apply, I’m giving a recommendation to someone I think would be far better at it than I.
Didn’t even know it was advertised til a former colleague called me to say he’d applied. He was made redundant a couple years ago when his store was taken over by BP. He’s now a deli manager at Woolies… I gave him my sympathies and said he was living my life in reverse.
Also had another former colleague offer a position at her work, more retail. So if I wanted to go back to retail, I’m all set. God knows my chosen profession is getting me nowhere :( And with Mr Mutant potentially losing his job in a month, do I even have a choice anymore?

Looks like I’m going to be learning GIMP today.
I have 11 images of different sizes (and different scales that are not the same as the sizes) that I need to merge into one.
1. Determine the scale of each image and resize (enlarge) to make the scales the same.
2. Add a transparency layer to each image before saving.
3. Ideally cut and paste from each image onto a master image. Non-ideally crop and superpose 11 layers onto a white background, moving the locations to avoid (or in some cases allow) overlap.

Cymek said:

Storylines are rarely if ever novel, what makes a good read is the telling of the storyline, the development of characters and bringing the characters to live in the readers mind eye.
So no, it’s a gift.

I think it depends. Let’s take two different authors: Matthew Reilly and Khaled Hosseini. Both are bestselling authors with very different styles.
Reilly doesn’t have much of a plot. His novels tend to revolve around one idea which is fleshed out with lots of action scenes. This is deliberate; he wants his novels to be a literary form of action movies. It’s fast paced and doesn’t let up for a second.
Hosseini writes mostly reflections. He relies more on internal dialogue and creating background than describing what the characters are doing at every second. His novels pull at the heart and are delivered one point at a time for a journey of twists and turns.
If you want to know more about writing a good story, I suggest Story by Robert McKee. It’s written about screenplays in particular but the principles can be applied to any writing.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In another sweeping move aimed at undoing the perceived damage done by the Obama administration, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday directing the Department of Justice to revoke all sixteen Thanksgiving Day turkey pardons issued by the former president during his eight years in office.
“After reviewing the decisions made by the previous administration, President Trump has determined that a number of turkey pardons issued by Barack Obama were done so in a manner that was both deceitful and hazardous to the American people,” White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer announced on Tuesday. “This morning, the president once again used his executive powers to see to it that justice is served and that the surviving creatures will be destroyed.”
Spicer said very little is known about the true origins of the sixteen turkeys or why they were specifically singled out by former President Barack Obama. “There are a lot of obvious questions we just don’t have the answers to. Were they connected to radical Islamic terrorism? Black Lives Matter extremists? We can’t be sure,” he said. “All we know is they were sentenced to death and Obama took it upon himself to meddle in the independent judicial process.”
Of the sixteen turkeys pardoned by Obama, all but five are deceased. “These birds, despite their deaths, will have their pardons revoked posthumously during a ceremony in the Rose Garden,” Secretary Spicer explained. The remaining birds – Tater, Tot, Abe, Honest, and Cheese – are scheduled to be remanded into federal custody on Friday before they are turned over to officials from the Federal Bureau of Prisons who are under orders to execute the turkeys by firing squad.
The annual Thanksgiving Day turkey pardon dates back to 1863 when President Abraham Lincoln first granted clemency to his son’s beloved pet turkey which the First Family had intended to feast on for Thanksgiving dinner.

Hello people. I didn’t stay in Casterton. It was raining when I got there and the grass was sodden. So I cleaned the house. Cleaned some windows. Set the fires. Chopped some cypress wood into bits and stacked it near the fireplace and the woodstove. Smells divine!

No, not really. The special undercoat was very very smelly but once the water-based final coats went on it covered up the smell pretty quick. The water-based paint itself doesn’t smell nearly so much. I opened the windows and let the house air out on a daily basis for about a week after.

I spent about two or three hours this morning applying for about half a dozen jobs. I only applied for three last week but have not heard from them yet.
Unemployed and a brand new house. Who says this isn’t the lucky country.

Doesn’t Centrelink require you to apply for, like, 200 jobs a week?
I have not registered with Centrelink.

No, neither did i when i was unemployed.
I was unemployed because i’d resigned from Centrelink.

I am living off my accrued annual and long service leave, which got paid out when I left. I imagine I would not be eligible for Centrelink for some months.
I’m thinking of employing a servant, but it would have to be a very modest wage, maybe three shillings an hour. And not live-in, as there’s no room.

I quickly found a short-term job in a brickworks (midnight to 8am), and that got me on ‘the good books’ with the employment agency, and i then had a few months work in a sugar mill, and got a job with the Council near the end of that.

I’ve never been up there but according to the plumber (who had to go up there to attend to the malfunctioning hot water feeder tank), there’s easily enough headroom up there to convert it into living space.

You would think so but that’s not how it works according to some. I have read some stuff that American slave holders paid more than they would have paying workers. Not sure that is true and certainly not many of the slave owners did the numbers and voted with the wallet, where was the horse self interest?
ChrispenEvan said:

Well yes for manual hard labour, and you only need to buy one breeding pair to build up a herd to more than pay for your initial outlay but I doubt any of them would understand vintner lore or the needs of an esurient gentleman at midnight.

Perhaps that happened in later years before abolition. But for the starting condition free labour must have been either unavailable or too expensive.

Mm, so when they have someone pulled over on the highway for a speeding ticket or something, everyone must slow to 40 to go past. I can see this being interesting for the B doubles. Out on the country roads they leave the reds and blues on so motorists are aware that there are vehicles stopped on the side of the road.

I assume we’re talking about the USA? There’s the frontier and homesteader movement to consider, Lots of cheap or sometimes even free land that kept people moving ever westward. Lots of appeal in in gaining your own land and farming it with your own labour. Surplus labour was probably in the industrialised cities of the north.

Challenging The Wright Brothers
Monday 19 June 2017, 11:29pm
Australian aviation historian John Brown explores whether German-American aviator Gustave Whitehead achieved powered flight in the world’s first aircraft two years before the Wright Brothers.
.
There were a few Australasian aviators with a claim to beating the Wright Brothers.
There was this bloke..
Richard William Pearse (3 December 1877 – 29 July 1953) was a New Zealand farmer and inventor who performed pioneering experiments in aviation.
And there was a wheat farmer from The Wimmera, I think, whom I read about in magazine in the dentist’s but I cannot recall his name.
Maybe there were more.

I can see this going the same way as the law that says all vehicles are required to slow to 25km/hr when passing school buses engaged in picking up or setting down children – Unknown and unenforced.

The Wright Brothers claim was not universally recognised immediately. The Smithsonian took decades to accept their claim.

It would probably depend on definition of flight. Something involving not just getting off the ground for a short hop but controlled and powered flight. The earlier claims tend to get dismissed because their control systems were not as advanced as the Wright Brothers. Their system of control was technologically much more advanced than any earlier competing claim, giving control over all three axis – pitch, roll and yaw.

context??
I’m not sure that I like this new forum update…
Nocturnal penile tumescence testing
Regularly, men who experience erectile dysfunction are given a nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) test, usually over a three-day period. Such a test detects the presence of an erection occurring during sleep using either:
a small portable computer connected to two bands placed around the shaft of the penis which records penile tumescence,
a band of paper tape with perforations (similar to coil postage stamps) that is fit snugly around the shaft of the penis and will break at the perforations during penile tumescence.
The goal of nocturnal penile tumescence testing is to determine whether a man can experience an erection while sleeping after reporting he is unable to experience an erection while awake. If a man does obtain an erection while sleeping, but cannot obtain one while awake, a psychological cause or a medication side effect is usually suspected. Otherwise, if a man does not obtain an erection in either state, a physiological cause is usually suspected.

That’s in Trans country, he might even wright a poem about it if we’re lucky.
I was going to reply to this comment with…

What would have the lowest drag, a sub or a passenger plane?

I was wondering if they were comparable, you are saying they aren’t?

Looked up drag coefficients…
for 747 = 0.03 with more modern types like 787 and A380 under 0.03
USS Albacore (first modern type sub)= 0.1 (guessing that exact figures for modern types are still classified)

passenger plane

sub, depends a lot on design apparently and is usually computed experimentally from what i gather.

As an aside, probably from the upgrade, if people post a picture on my iPad it runs out toward the bottom of the page, I cannot see comments after a picture nor use the quotes or reply button.
Turn it sideways?
My tablet works fine but my phone is Crap and sometimes I also have to resize a page here, and elsewhere, in order to scroll it…

Yes, it’s the kind of thing that submarine owners like to keep quiet.
Given that water is (what?) 25 times as dense as air, higher drag is hardly a surprise.

I imagine you could never get down to sub levels of cd, a plane has to manipulate the air for lift which is not slipping through it, also engines have to suck in air and are petty solid air blocking obstacles.
Had to sign a form giving permission for RuleKid2 to watch a movie called ’13 Reasons Why’ which, in case you haven’t heard of it, is mostly concerned with a teenage girl’s suicide. It came with the increasingly common book-end pair of warnings (‘trigger warning’ before and ‘where to get help’ after). The note explained in earnest terms the nature of the emotional confrontation the children might experience, and suggested some salve.
I don’t recall there being any such concern over the study of ‘Romeo and Juliet’.
Hmmmm….

It’s a pretty good series if overly simplistic about the causes of suicide; for example there is almost no discussion of mental illness.

Is this 13 Reasons Why film fictional or factual?
Is it set in the modern day, in a world most young people would recognise and identify with?

Based on a novel. Set in the present day.

Yeah, I’ve heard it being panned by experts on the radio.
mcgoon said:

I think the ‘Romeo and Juliet’ comparison is most appropriate because the emotional peak of the play is the suicide of both teenage leads, which (some would say) is represented as the pinnacle of romantic devotion.

Was attack on Muslim community treated differently? Analysis
By Europe correspondent Lisa Millar
Posted about an hour ago | Updated about an hour ago
There’ll be plenty of debate as to whether the Muslim community under possible attack was treated differently during the Finsbury Park incident, writes Lisa Millar.
I’m not bothering to read it but I do think communities should be pulling together to reduce the risk of more nutjobs.

Footy tip results for the comp I’m in have come in for the weekend’s games. In this comp there is a prize for last, so every year a few try out for that, hoping that it will be easier to win. This week the person running last in the comp managed to pick the winning 6. The person who was running second last picked 5.
At this time last year, albeit with 3 more games being played, the leader in our comp was on 89; this year the leader is on 69. It’s a tough gig this tipping.

Just finished watching tonight’s TROSH, The Secret of the Foxhunter, starring Derek Jacobi and Peter Arne. Arne played a despicable Russian agent, in a career that usually saw him playing Nazis and other unsmiling villains.
Just looked him up and ironically, in real life he was murdered, in 1983.
Murder
On 1 August 1983, Arne attended a costume fitting in Clerkenwell intended for his character Range in the BBC Doctor Who television serial Frontios (a role which would eventually be played by William Lucas).
Shortly after Arne returned to his Knightsbridge home, neighbours reported hearing a violent argument coming from his home. Arne’s body was found inside his flat, bludgeoned to death with a stool and a log from his fireplace, which was found in the communal hall. The prime suspect in Arne’s murder was a schoolteacher from Verona, Italy, who had been living rough in a local park, and for whom Arne had been providing food.
Police issued a photofit image after eyewitnesses reported seeing a young man loitering nearby eating a jar of honey. Four days later, a body matching this description was found in the River Thames at Wandsworth, having drowned in an apparent suicide. Bloodstained clothes were later found upstream at Putney. Police identified the body as that of Giuseppe Perusi, an Italian schoolteacher. Inquiries revealed Arne had been giving food to the Italian man.
An inquest at Westminster Coroner’s Court in October 1983 recorded a verdict of unlawful killing for Arne and suicide for Perusi. Police concluded that Perusi had beaten the actor to death then killed himself rather than enduring the ensuing publicity (the blood found on his clothing matched Arne’s). The reason for the violent argument remains unknown.

Greetings from the north.
Another stinking hot day of hell is forecast.
I might do very little today.
Good morning, how goes it?
17.8°C, 69% RH, 1/8 cloud (low), calm now but strong breezes a few minutes ago. I hope it’s not as blowy as yesterday, but it probably will be, as the wind seems to pick up during the day. We had a relatively large surf yesterday, what with the wind. Neither of us went in, but walked along the beach for a kilometre or so before walking home.
Later today we are thinking about trying out our bicycles. I’m OK at riding, but unfit. Mrs V is not very confident (worried about skills). So we will try riding around on the flatter ground. But, I will need coffee first. Then I have to go to the doktards and get my prescriptions renewed. And have some breakfast some time as well. Oh, and I’d better measure my blood pressure, which is why I’m sitting here at the moment and not having coffee…
Good morning Holidayers. We have 4 degrees. It’s dark. The ground is wet outside, but probably less than a mm of “rain” overnight. I have house cleaning to do today. Mr buffy is teaching First Aid again, but as an employee this time, so I am not required. I help with the class when it is our own class.
Morning all
Still dark with a very thin line of colour on the horizon, the red looks great against the black.
11 degrees currently and a top of 14 with showers for the day.
Morning Ms Lily, buffy.
Right. Into it. Whatever that means. First bit: C…o…f…f…e…e…
Ah, people :) greetings and stuffs.
We’re slothing around. mr kii did some caulking in the stucco around the windows and I moved my books onto the newly painted metal shelf cart I scored from BN. Watching House of Cards in between doing other stuff.
mr kii’s brother is not doing too well. We think. mr kii called him, but not much was said as he’s heavily medicated. Love was briefly discussed. His wife has not updated anyone, even though a request was sent via the group messages. It’s so very sad.
Right now everyone in the house is taking a siesta, while I check emails etc. Ooops….Grace just woke up to stretch.
Just taking it step by step.
Morning. Didn’t sleep well – Mini-Me woke up at 2am and didn’t go back to sleep for two hours. First she wanted her sleeping bag off, then on, then her Aladdin book, then a drink, then she gave up and brought herself to our bed.
ningnn
15C. Partly cloudy. High (70%) chance of showers along the coastal fringe, medium (40%) chance elsewhere. Winds S 20 to 30 km/h. Daytime maximum temperatures around 20. Large and powerful surf conditions. Local creeks dropping below minor flood level.Dart throwers haven’t got right in weeks.. should get easier…
Been playing with busted headlight.. yet another slight run-in with a roo.
Yay! Rain :D A proper heavy downpour :D
The glorious socialist North Korean health service could keep that bloke in a coma alive for years, as soon as he gets to Trumps busted arsed American health system he dies within days.
Says it all really.
Right. I’ve cleaned the stove, moved everything off the kitchen benches, cleaned, replaced. Done the washing up. Now I’ll start at the front of the house with the bedroom. Sheets are in the washing machine…next bit is to vacuum the mattress and remake the bed. Then sweep/vacuum the floor.
I intend to work my way back from the front of the house. The alcove at the front door on the verandah is particularly neglected, so there will be spider evictions.
>>next bit is to vacuum the mattress
Never heard of such stuff and nonsense.

I’ve seen them bowled over on the highway though and I’ve never seen them set off the air bags, they musn’t be massive enough.

and nobody could post for 10 minutes.
Now the whole house feels like a fucking sauna, without the pine scent or cedar scent.
The window ledges are dripping in muddy sand as there was a collection of dusty grit from the last dust storm.
Still no word about the BIL.

Surely by the age of three you should know your own name:
The three-year-old boy was discovered by a local resident walking barefoot around Morris Street in Melton around 2am.
The resident took the boy to Melton Police Station, however the boy was unable to tell police his name or that of his parents.

Spiders have been evicted from right across the front of the house. And dust. I’m not washing down. Swept the verandah. Handy wind from the West….if you sweep in the right direction it helps you along.
I’ll have to shut the front door to sweep the hall and kitchen. Wind tunnel there definitely won’t be helpful. I washed the kitchen floor yesterday morning. You’d never know. Dogs with muddy paws…
I wonder how many I can get?
Nah, things to do. Can’t sit here all day.
OK…something wrong here. In the article it says in a coma since March 2016, but at the bottom is a photo labelled as early this year.

Poms Poached – Aussies Perplexed
Unusually hot weather is gripping parts of the United Kingdom this week, prompting heatwave alerts from authorities until Thursday.
The UK Met Office’s has issued a level three amber alert for heatwave conditions in central England until mid-week, and southern parts of the country until Thursday morning. This alert level is one step below a National Emergency and comes into force when two days in the low thirties bookend a night in the mid-to-high teens.
In a climate zone like Australia’s it can be difficult to accept that a string of days in the low thirties constitutes a heatwave. To understand why this may be inconceivable, one only needs to look at some of the recent heatwaves in Australia.
A prolonged spell of heat last summer saw Moree and Mungindi register more than 50 consecutive days at or above 35 degrees, both breaking the previous record for New South Wales. Mungindi endured 15 days in a row above 40 degrees during this oppressive run of heat and ended up with 41 days over 40 degrees in the first two months of 2017.
Other impressive temperatures seen earlier this year included a top of 48.2 degrees at Tarcoola in South Australia on February 9th (a new late-summer record) and an overnight minimum of 34.2 degrees at White cliffs in New South Wales on February 11th (state’s highest minimum ever recorded). Richmond, a suburb of Sydney, reached a sweltering 47 degrees on February 11th, setting a new monthly record for the Sydney Basin.
Looking further back and higher up the scale, the highest temperature ever recorded in Australia was 50.7 degrees at Oodnadatta, on January 2nd 1960.
However, despite the long list of extreme temperatures in our sunburnt country’s past, this week’s weather in the UK is still a heatwave.
While the definition of a ‘heatwave’ differs throughout the world, the term is used in Australia and the UK to describe an extended period of hot weather relative to the expected conditions at that time of year that is likely to affect people’s health and wellbeing.
A northerly change is expected to sweep through England by Friday, bringing an end to the heatwave. London is forecast to reach tops of 21 degrees from Friday into the weekend. While this may seem mild for an early summer’s day in Australia, it’s right on average for this time of year in London.
The current world record for the highest temperature is 56.7 degrees, which occurred at Furnace Creek in California, USA on July 10th 1913.
- Weatherzone
The title of “world’s hottest place” is often bestowed upon El Azizia, Libya, where the highest temperature ever measured on Earth was recorded, but a study of satellite temperature data shows that the crown belongs elsewhere, and that it can shift from year to year.
El Azizia took the record for highest temperature ever recorded on Sept. 13, 1922, when a thermometer on a weather station hit a whopping 136 degrees Fahrenheit (58 degrees Celsius), thanks to southerly winds blowing in hot air from over the Sahara Desert. The sweltering temperature displaced the previous record holder of 134 F, measured at the Furnace Creek weather station in Death Valley on July 10, 1913.
But neither of these places, hot though they may be, deserves the banner of “hottest place on Earth,” according to new research by a University of Montana team using data from the U.S. Geological Survey’s Landsat satellites.
“Most of the places that call themselves the hottest on Earth are not even serious contenders,” said team member Steven Running in a NASA statement.
Running and his colleagues examined seven years of infrared data (which indicates temperature) from the Landsat satellites, and found that the winner in five of those years was actually the Lut Desert in Iran.
The reason Lut didn’t previously make the list was because “the Earth’s hot deserts — such as the Sahara, the Gobi, the Sonoran and the Lut — are climatically harsh and so remote that access for routine measurements and maintenance of a weather station is impractical,” said team member David Mildrexler. “The majority of Earth’s hottest spots are simply not being directly measured by ground-based instruments.”
Satellites, on the other hand, can get a reading on these hard-to-reach, harsh places because they can scan every piece of the Earth’s surface. The satellites take what is called “land skin temperature,” which tells the amount of heating of a certain parcel of ground from the sun, the atmosphere and other heat sources. The temperatures measured at weather stations, on the other hands, are taken a couple meters above the ground.
The single highest land skin temperature recorded in any year of the study was found in the Lut Desert in 2005 and measured a stunning 159.3 F (70.7 C). Lut had the highest surface temperature in 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2009 as well.

The title of “world’s hottest place” is often bestowed upon El Azizia, Libya, where the highest temperature ever measured on Earth was recorded, but a study of satellite temperature data shows that the crown belongs elsewhere, and that it can shift from year to year.El Azizia took the record for highest temperature ever recorded on Sept. 13, 1922, when a thermometer on a weather station hit a whopping 136 degrees Fahrenheit (58 degrees Celsius), thanks to southerly winds blowing in hot air from over the Sahara Desert. The sweltering temperature displaced the previous record holder of 134 F, measured at the Furnace Creek weather station in Death Valley on July 10, 1913.
But neither of these places, hot though they may be, deserves the banner of “hottest place on Earth,” according to new research by a University of Montana team using data from the U.S. Geological Survey’s Landsat satellites.

There was a study done (which I can’t find) in the 19th century. It showed humans enduring temps in the 90°C range when there was no moisture in the air. Humid air showed a much lower tolerance.

A third of Australian adults rely solely on the mobile phone
I guess I fall into the latter category. While I have a home phone number because the billing package worked out cheaper that way, I do not have a phone physically plugged in, nor do I own one right now. Internet and mobile only.

Been a lot of buzz around this locally for the last couple of years -
Husband arrested over alleged murder of missing NSW teacher Sharon Edwards
The estranged husband of missing NSW teacher Sharon Edwards has been arrested over her alleged murder in 2015.
Mrs Edwards, 55, disappeared from her hometown of Grafton on the north coast on March 14, 2015.
She had been out with friends at the Good Intent Hotel and returned to the home she once shared with her husband, John Wallace Edwards, that night.
However she was never seen again.
Mr Edwards was pinned as a suspect in her disappearance but denied any involvement.
Surrounded by his three sons, he fronted a media conference in the months following and appeared to cry as he pleaded for information about his wife’s disappearance.
“We had plans for the future,” he told reporters two years ago…
..It is understood the pair had been living apart before Mrs Edwards went missing, with police referring to her husband as “estranged”.
Less than a month after he reported his wife missing, Mr Edwards walked into a north coast police station and confessed to dumping a cache of firearms.
According to facts tendered in court, he told police he got rid of four guns, including a shortened rifle and pump action shotgun, because he thought officers were going to search his house again.
“Specifically he said that he was paranoid that the police had ‘bugged’ his house with cameras,” the facts state.
When Mr Edwards saw some police cars on the road and thought his house was going to be searched again, he bundled up his guns and “threw them all around the place”.
“I’ve driven around, just tossed them off the side of the road,” he told police.
His son Zac later convinced him to tell the police about the firearms.
Mr Edwards then pointed police to one gun in the back of his son’s car and another on a riverbank behind an ice-cream factory…
Mr Edwards pleaded guilty to possessing unregistered firearms and was sentenced to 12 months’ jail with a non-parole period of three months.
Mrs Edwards’ clothes and car were found at home.
Her husband reported her missing on March 17 after she failed to turn up for class.
Her handbag and phone have never been found.
However tracing the use of her phone has led investigators to believe she made it to the Lawrence area in the early hours of March 15.
Her body has not been found.
Sharon Edwards and John Edwards (sus? ya reckon?) with their sons.

We are going back to the seventies tonight. I found some apricot chicken in the freezer that I made about 6 months ago. It needs to be eaten. So apricot chicken and rice. I’d better steam some broccoli and cauli to go with it. Maybe some carrot for colour.

No, but normal apricot chicken is chicken, apricot nectar out of a tin and a packet of French onion soup. I’ve made it “from scratch” and it is better. Although I bought the chook already dead.

With imaginary apricots it just tastes like chicken.
I used to make a ripper peach chicken dish which I invented. Only drawback was that you had to chuck out the saucepan afterwards.

I’m just using a cheap fan heater. I have one in the living room and one in the bedroom,
For cooling I have a portable aircon unit.
Plan is to get reverse-cycle split-system later on. But the house is quite well insulated so having reverse-cycle for heating is not so pressing.

Can I make a suggestion about the fan heater? They are dynamite on the electricity. In Casterton where last time I visited it was -2 when I got there with a fog that hung around until midday, I had a little fan heater for instant warmth and that half hour lets this thing warm up:

I’ve got a much older version. They are very good. Once you have the warmth, that thing on setting 1 is more than enough as an overnighter. We will have one of those going in Mum’s room while she stays with us as she feels the cold now.

I’ve got a much older version. They are very good. Once you have the warmth, that thing on setting 1 is more than enough as an overnighter. We will have one of those going in Mum’s room while she stays with us as she feels the cold now.
I was thinking about getting one of those actually.

I use the column heaters.
Mine have been good and they are not young any more. Sometimes when you turn them on on a cold morning you can hear the oil dripping as it warms up.
I’ve had the portable aircons over there too and they are also good. We got one of the first ones around, I think, back when Mr buffy’s mum was in care. Her room was hot, so we spent some of her money on one of those that you put the exhaust tube out the window. She told me I could have it for Casterton when she died. We talked about stuff, Carmel and I. Then I had to get another one because my consulting room was a bit ovenish in mid Summer and Carmel’s aircon was in the waiting/reception room. One thing I will say about the portables, the outlet tube thing gets very hot. Keep curtains away from it. We haven’t had any disasters, but I touched it one day and it really does get hot

I find them noisy too.
What I did with mine was build a special stand for it, so it goes right near the window to minimise the length of hot tubing indoors where heat can escape back into the room. I also made a new exist screen for it to fit nicely into the window frame, with a large outlet hole the same diameter as the pipe so the exhaust airflow is not restricted. This seems to cut down on the noise a bit.

This sounds good. And yes, they are noisy, but then most aircons are. And when it’s over 40 outside and I was trying to consult, we put up with the noise. It was not unknown for both the patient and I to be standing right in front of the thing while we did the talking bit.

Column heaters are quite good and effective.
Apart from that, they’re a very much lower fire and burns risk than radiant or fan heaters.

My grandfather used to get off the wagon all the ime. literally.
He had horse-drawn furniture vans. If the route took them past the pub, then, no matter who was driving, the horses would stop for 15 minutes.
No power on earth could get them to move in that time (half-Clydesdales), because that’s what you did when you came to the pub – stop for 15 mins while the boss goes inside.

anyway back to my story about how i learnt to swim and my dog, Foamy. Foamy was actually a real dog in a cartoon strip in Mad. Timberland Tales.
As every boy should have a dog, B.K. gave Maurice a skinny, long earred canine, aptly named, Foamy.
Foamy got his name because it was more than apparent he had rabies. In our opinion, Foamy’s addition to Timberland Tales is akin to the Fonz taking over Happy Days. Only Foamy never jumped the shark, and we never got tired of his appearances in Timberland tales.

That’s not too bad a score to reach after a lifetime of ill health.
My dad made it to 74 after a similar history: wartime overwork and starvation, serious injuries, spine operations, chronic middle ear problems, double bypass, prostate operation, cancer.
Today is Daisy’s annual check-up at the vet and some booster shots. She still has a large blob of paint stuck to her bum. Because of an anal sac cleaning session at the vet’s some years back, she’s not fond of people doing anything near her butt hole. So…..I might ask the vet to help us remove it.

All the same, what i believe really separates these characters is, while Khan Noonien Singh was a pathological liar, Chigurh was chillingly honest & in you face.

You might have a tum tum but you have skinny legs by the seems of things bubblecar. Just your midriff , that is just one area of focus. Having a big butt and thighs is genetic in my family regardless of the girth. Strong genes they is…
Good morning Holidayers. Seven degrees. Dark.
Morning. That’ll learn me to do research before bed; last night I dreamed my in-text referencing ended up as footnotes upon submission.

Alaska isn’t cold all of the time.
“You’ll find Alaska’s summer temperatures surprisingly pleasant. Daytime highs range from 60°F – 80°F. Nighttime lows are refreshingly cool, dipping into the 40’s – 50’s. May and September are 5°- 10° cooler. However, temperatures vary wildly depending on which region of Alaska you plan to visit.”
80F = 26C.
Nup, too cold :) Sounds perfect for Bubblecar though.

Ahoy, there!
Morning.
15.5°C, 67%RH, clear and almost calm. BoM reckons it’ll get to 22°C. A beautiful day. Grass mowing to be done. Beach walking to be done. Maybe swimming, too (depending of the size of the waves – they have been large, so I’ve not gone in). And cut back my long extension cord to something of more manageable weight. and sensible length for this place.
But first, measure and record blood pressure, have c…o…f…f…e…e… and then eat breakfast.

‘A disaster waiting to happen’: How House of Cards eerily predicted the Grenfell Tower fire in 1993
The tragic circumstances of last week’s fire in Grenfell Tower in West London were chillingly foreshadowed in an episode of the original House of Cards, as one eagle-eyed Vimeo user has noticed.
The BBC political drama, which started in 1990 and ran as a trilogy of series until 1995, followed the machiavellian workings of Tory politician Francis Urquhart. Based on a novel by Michael Dobbs, a former Conservative Party chief of staff, the drama inspired US streaming service Netflix to create a remake in 2013, transferring the action to the White House.

Not doing much. We went to the liberry where Mini-Me cleaned out the Thomas books and coloured in a dinosaur. She’s asleep now and I just finished a box of Junior Mints.

>What is the thing called that in ye olde days youd use to take coals from the fire and put them in the bedroom or other room?
dunno, coal bucket, scuttle, or hod, usually used for transporting coal around the home to burn, but too you could use it for hot coals
and there are ash buckets too
Stepped out shortly after sunrise this morning to be greeting by a beautiful double rainbow in the west. In the east were a crescent moon and nearby Venus. It’s not actually very unusual for Venus to be visible during the day but the proximity of the moon makes it easier to find.
About an hour ago 5 military copters flew south east, emergency vehicle sirens blaring from local depots out to the highway and dark clouds to the northwest.

Could be just normal training runs for the copters.
Night exercises or a party.
Seems we are on a “older woman younger man film” kick at present thanks to Syifaa. Yesterday we watched Kate & Leopold and The Proposal.
The Proposal is based on such a tired and hackneyed premise that I fully expected it to be terrible but it was actually quite decent thanks to good work by Bullock and Reynolds. Even the ending was kept somewhat grounded: a typical treatment would have had them falling in love in three days but instead he plainly says that he is marrying her so that she can stay in the US and he can start to date her.
K&L … meeeh could have been worse.
Ultratrivial connections: Schreiber & Jackman play brothers in the X-men series, whereas in this movie, Schreiber plays the great great grandson of Jackman’s character. In this movie and in the Prestige, Jackman plays a character whose encounter with a physicist enables him to do something impossible. Also … was Stuart dating his great great grandmother for a while?

Got the discs sitting by the TV at the moment. We’ll watch Francis push Mattie down the stairs sometime soon. Haven’t started on it yet.
Anyway, hello lunchtime Holidayers. I’ve eaten my bread roll with chicken loaf in it. I’ll get a glass of Milo and write a letter now.

I’ve complained about the heat, again, and scratched a scab off a mozzie bite on my face.
I hate summer.
Plus where the heck did Grace find a plum in our backyard? Next door has two ornamental plum trees. At least I thought they were ornamental. She’s eaten it. I think she also ate a bee or a wasp earlier or she has some new type of obsessive habit of repeatedly poking her tongue out and acting like a twit.
I’m gonna go watch House of Cards (US version). Chapter 63.

Heh.
Headache is a common side effect experienced with Rectogesic. These are usually mild and occur after the first few applications only, due to intolerance to the Rectogesic. The headache may be relieved with a simple analgesic, such as paracetamol.

So…Monday morning I got a phone call saying I failed my bowel cancer screening. I tried to not get flustered about it because I felt I might have contaminated at least one sample with urine(I find it hard to poo and not wee..) So I ring around the neighbours and I find one to take me to the GP this arvo for a special late appointment she has made after her normal hours.
I still got to wait while two other people saw her.
This is the upshot. She is writing a referral for me to see a specialist. I don’t have private health. I will go onto a waiting list. I could expect to be on the waiting list for a year. BUT seeing two of my siblings have recently tested positive to bowel cancer that might mean I get through in 6 months if I am lucky. If I collapse on the bathroom floor in a pool of blood in the meantime I should ring her. I’m not going to die this week.
i might be able to deal with the grief responses survey now.

That sucks, I wonder what would happen if you turned up at a hospital emergency room complaining of pains in that area, fake it somewhat to get seen
That is fairly unreasonable. I would hope it is a lot quicker than that…

Picture of my fuzz daughter in bin to cheer you up
Several years ago, before mobile phones were as common as they are today, I was first on the scene of a car accident in which one person died; onlookers stood around watching while I tried to revive the dead person, then, when I’d given up on her, tended to the surviving person. None of them offered or tried to help, and I had to yell at them to get someone to get help (which someone eventually did, and emergency srevices did eventually come.) The behaviour of the onlookers, who stood around and watched and did nothing else is something that has disturbed me ever since; I was hopeful that we had progressed a little beyond that by this time, and that the ubiquity of mobile phones that can call emergency services quickly and for free, even if their other features are locked, would mean that that sort of thing wouldn’t happen again.
Today I saw a car hit another (I think the term for it is “T-boned” — the front of one car hit the side of the other); the car hit on the side overturned, coming to rest on its roof. I tended to the injured, but when I looked up I saw that the onlookers — who all had their phones out — weren’t calling emergency services: they were taking photos. When I had an opportunity, I called them myself. No-one died in this accident, though. One child and one adult taken to hospital by ambulance, several others with minor injuries. I’ve looked, but haven’t found any reports of it online yet.
I’m still disappointed.

So am I. And I don’t do shock well. But taking a photo would be a long way down my list..
You would think some would stand forward with you..Seeing you were showing some leadership one would expect someone to at least say ‘what can I do to help?’

Good luck, SM.
The Emergency Departments at Vic hospitals post their average waiting times live to the Net, updated every 12 hours or so – Seems like a great idea for lots of service industries, including medical specialists, so you can decide for yourself whether you’re prepared to travel to get treated sooner, and the workload could get spread around more evenly.
That is kind of nightmarish…

There’s some really significant hurdles that people create for themselves, but strangely, if you ask them to help and give them a very specific task, most people do amazingly well.

:( It happens and is disappointing to see.
I saw a police car get T-boned by a sports car doing 80km/h. The police car was crossing through a red light with sirens blaring and the drivers did not see each other. I was waiting in the front of the queue and, of all the witnesses to the accident, probably had the best view. The police car rolled, hit the car beside me and ended up on its side. The driver of the sports car was up on the car and opened the door at lightning speed, swearing and dragging the police out of the car. Light went green. I drove home
I felt terrible. When I got home, I called the police station and explained that I had left the scene. Thankfully, no-one was hurt (except the sports car dude was hit in the back of the head by a surfboard he had in there with him), I gave my version of events and that was that. I was very surprised and disappointed that I had reacted in this way. Since then, I have seen other things happen before my eyes (albeit not as serious) and have always stopped to help.
One thing I learnt was not to judge people by their response to a shocking situation. Although “hit-and-run” responses are wrong, they are understandable. It’s what happens afterward that matters i.e. whether people own it later by returning to the scene of getting to a police station.
That emergency first aid app that someone posted here a little while ago was very good, with each of the scenes showing “you”, the first aider, helping and yelling instructions to others who are standing by doing nothing. It’s normal.
I know someone who had one, smelly creature…

Yeah, I think it’s normal to feel a bit baffled (when someone leaves a scene) and perhaps interpret their actions as cowardly. I’ve been on both sides of that ‘fence’, too, so the voice in my head tells me not to judge… But when a close friend (an emergency nurse and midwife) made a dash for the airport to get the hell out of Katmandu after the earthquake a few months ago, I have to admit I was disappointed with her.

You’re welcome. :-)
Isn’t the first thing they tell you in first aid is that you should make sure it is safe for yourself before assisting? She probably determined that it wasn’t safe for her so took herself to safety…

So…Monday morning I got a phone call saying I failed my bowel cancer screening. I tried to not get flustered about it because I felt I might have contaminated at least one sample with urine(I find it hard to poo and not wee..) So I ring around the neighbours and I find one to take me to the GP this arvo for a special late appointment she has made after her normal hours.I still got to wait while two other people saw her.
This is the upshot. She is writing a referral for me to see a specialist. I don’t have private health. I will go onto a waiting list. I could expect to be on the waiting list for a year. BUT seeing two of my siblings have recently tested positive to bowel cancer that might mean I get through in 6 months if I am lucky. If I collapse on the bathroom floor in a pool of blood in the meantime I should ring her. I’m not going to die this week.
That’s troubling news, sarahs mum. But those tests are just a first indication that there might be something wrong.
I failed my test last year but only the first of the three days samples had blood. Which didn’t surprise me because I’d taken several aspirin the day before, which you’re not supposed to do. When I explained this to my regular GP she was satisfied there was no need to be concerned.
But my non-regular GP thought I’d better do the test again. Still haven’t got around to it.

There’s some really significant hurdles that people create for themselves, but strangely, if you ask them to help and give them a very specific task, most people do amazingly well.Good on you for having a crack, BTM.
That makes a bit of sense: if the bystander doesn’t know what to do, he or she is more likely to avoid doing anything to make matters worse; if given a specific job to do, they can do it without fear of later criticism, although calling 000 in an emergency should be drummed into every in primary school.

So am I. And I dont do shock well. But taking a photo would be a long way down my list..
You would think some would stand forward with you..Seeing you were showing some leadership one would expect someone to at least say what can I do to help?
I would have hoped so, too, sm. I was hoping that the more interconnected world we live in might have made people more empathetic, and they might have called an ambulance.

This is true. A lot of the time, people sort of know what to do, but don’t want to be the first, or to be seen as the one in charge.
Partly fear of doing more damage through ineptitude, partly fear of being held responsible if it comes to legalities.
Once someone takes charge, people tend to be more helpful. They feel more assured that they’re doing the right thing.
I can, at times, be very forgiving…

Listen mate. I hadn’t even seen one in 2006. But I developed a lump in my bum the size of a lemon. So I did go to see a doctor who told me to shit in the sample bottle and book in for a colonoscopy. So yeah, they took it out and sent me home. I asked the surgeon a bit later when I was in for atypical TB when he wanted to see me again and he said give it a couple of years at least. Well it is 2017 and I’d hate to see what my lemon would have looked like by now. Go and do it. It will be over before you think about it and you will be at least told that yopu are free for a bit longer.

If people could become better before they use it, they might not have to use it at all, saving costs.
Even looking at cannabis acts like a placebo.

Which may be why studies should be done on a much wider sample?
maybe studies are being done but no one can be arsed to look for scholarly articles on the subject. If people were really interested they would.

The absolute best part about a cannabis plant is the aroma. As we know, aromas may affect different people in different ways but as a way of experiencing cannabis, this has been indubiatably the most often beneficial to all reporting sniffers. It has been the same from all i’ve heard speak on the issue. These be people who either love or hate smoking the stuff. Even from those who would instinctively run away from suddenly finding themselves in the midst of a plantation. They usually say, “this stuff should be made into a perfume. I could enjoy just a sniff of fresh heads, all day.
There is no real need to smojke the stuff nor really a need to prescribe specific doses of certain components. I think we will find in time that if the aroma of fresh cannabis trichomes can be preserved as is. Then it may be utilised by every different metabolism in the exact ways it needs.

The missus’ grandmother was a gardener and a CWA cookbook writer. Staunchly anti drug, teetotaller. When the first images of a cannabis plant were shown on TV, her instant comment was, “it is such a pretty plant”.

There was once a thing as a soft hemp hedge. Hemp (and Jerusalem artichokes) were plant in thick lines in the veg gardens. At the start of spring their companion plants got a lot of sun. In high summer they were shaded from full sun and winds. It’s a handy plant..

It has or was, long used in English gardens as a hedge, windbreak and insect barrier. All the while also fed to the budgies as soft hemp seed. Until that is when those in stilted college pants banned the weed as an ‘orrific thing from satan.

Yes, smelling raw cannabis in the air makes me feel better, even before I smoke it, I like that feel better feeling, even smelling cannabis smoke makes me feel better, so I get to get feel better three times before I really feel better, if you know what I mean.

I’d stay away from the temptaion to put the tomato leaves in the hubbly bubbly.
I do recall those who happily conducted the experiment of attempting all the various herbal dilutors I could provide and the unanimous winner was parsley.

The reason parsley was voted wellwas because it was neutralising. These people were growers of really good heads. (they gave the leaf away or threw it on the garden) However they all wanted something to burn with it that smoothed and balanced the smoke because, if you don’t cough you don’t get off, was something they wanted to fix.

If you have anything above 20 sqm of parsley, it is mostly compost unless you get the contract to supply all the restaurants in town.

There were some child protection police screening this village a few weeks back. They interviewed me twice because I ventured out to meet others but of the ones that interviewed me in my yard, one threw the passing comment when he was signalling that the interrorgation was over, said, “I feel like I am standing in something. Are you into Permaculture?” My reply was, ‘I have no religion”. He stuttered and said, “I wasn’t talking about religion as such”. I replied, “I meant religiously, as in habit forming. Bill Mollison was one of my heroes but that doesn’t make it everything that happens here”.

In Ashfield however, I was confronted by an incident where a man pulled up at a give way sign and the bloke behind him who got out of his car with a tyre lever and proceeded to smash up his car with it was about to smash in the drivers side window when I yelled out, “the police have been called. What do you want to do?” He ran back to his car and drove off. The poor bastard in the car was shitting himself.

Years ago my mother gave me a bullet, which I put on a chain and wore around my neck. Years later I was walking past a motel when a dreanged evangelist threw a Gideon bible through the window, hitting me in the chest.
That bible would have gone through my heart if it wasn’t for that bullet.

All from column B, m’lud. I’ve a job to do at a Carramar, looked at the closest motel, rang them up, booked it. Then as I was writing down the address noticed where it was :)
Western Sydney isn’t normally my go to place.
Never know, You might just meet a new nice friend there.
Cabramatta’s an interesting place. I once saw someone drive on the wrong side of the road there, until they disappeared over the crest of a hill in the distance. Mum used to shop there when she was feeling adventurous, but last time I spoke with her about it, she said she would never return, claiming that the locals are all rude. She also thinks that Cabramatta has a disproportionately large number of disabled people and has theories of them suffering delayed symptoms of poisoning during the Vietnam War.
If I had to stay there overnight, I would not miss out on a good Pho.

I’d like to add here that In my history of listening to music in the recorded sense and I do remember all of what I’m anecdotally referencing. My life started this with overhearing radio and complemented it by hand winding my grandmother’s gramophone. It didn’t happen that I experienced stereo before I lost half of my hearing. I’ve lived my life since stereo without the capacity to grok it in any way the same as others. I know this because the advent of profoundness was sudden. I woke up and got out of bed and promptly fell over. My entire left side was dumb. no reference. Inner ear, gone to follow the sunset in the hope of catching it. This was indeed before I ever experienced stereo properly even though I tried.

Yet because musicianship is in my family and as my father had said, he is the one with the ear for music, sadly this happened to not have the promise of fullfillment. I do have half an ear. It doesn’t help me work with others. Yet I do have a full appreciation of music I hear. My brian gets what the musicians wanted me to hear. It probably is because I’ve had fifty years to work on it.

In today’s instance, I called a third party vendor asking for a particular caliber1102 and he said I only have IL02. $12:50+ I said that is the same movement really but in a different size. I’ll not be able to change components. I spent time looking through old donor movements and asked the girl to call Citizen. she came back with the postage is more than the movement. They only want $5. I said well why not order three? She said too late.

Slow start to the day again. We’re staying up later, but my husband is still getting up at 4am-ish. He’s tired – the humidity is tiring when you live in dry heat. He’s also a bit stressed.
Word this morning is one of his sisters, and a niece, is with his brother. Waiting for the doctor to give an update etc. At least now we can get proper updates about the medical side of things, instead of fucking stoopid texts about prayer, BIL giving himself to his wife’s god (we think he’s placating his wife as I am sure he is not a believer as she wants to think he is) and her healing him via reiki or foot massages or whatever.
I should do chores, paint things, move things around and stop being stressed.

G’evening, Mr Car.
Yes, exactly. We are enjoying the freedom to be calling our own time, and relaxing into what we need to do, and when we need to do it. This is very helpful with BIL’s situation.
>BIL giving himself to his wife’s god (we think he’s placating his wife as I am sure he is not a believer as she wants to think he is)
I noticed when Dad was dying that towards the end, he turned inwards to his own contemplations and let Mum take charge of everything. It’s likely your BiL is just letting her do her thing, for the sake of her own peace of mind, since conflict at this stage would be quite harrowing and a distraction from the main game, which is drawing together the strands of his own life in his own mind.
I’d better get back to The Strange World of Planet X (1958).

Well said, thanks. It’s what mr kii believes, he knows both of them better than me. In some ways it is so sad that the dying person has to think of this instead of the other way around.
I might need a coffee before I do too much else. It’s an ADD morning and my therapist reckons caffeine can help with a wandering attention.
>BIL giving himself to his wife’s god (we think he’s placating his wife as I am sure he is not a believer as she wants to think he is).
if God’s that magic of which all are involved, taking of something past into the future, then why not. It’s doubtful all hoodoo.

Morning.
17.8°C, 66& RH, partly cloudy, nearly calm. Chap next door fell off his bicycle late yesterday afternoon, and mangled one of his toes and had lots of bark off. He was in shock quite strongly. Too late to take him to the doctors, so I took him to Goomboorian, where I transferred him to his parents, who live in Gympie, so they could get him repaired.
Much of what I said I’d get done yesterday, I didn’t, but I got some other stuff done. So I make no predictions for today, except to say I’ll find out how Mr Mangulated Toe is in a while.

You can see the handle in the photo, it’s in the corner of the window, most modern four door hatches have it hidden nowadays, think Barina, Alfa, Velostor, etc.

Unfortunately for investigators the parents of the bloke who was locked up in North Korea have refused an autopsy.

“Many people do not know much about Hank. Some knew him as Baby Oscar in Ghostbusters II or John Denver’s nephew. Others knew him as a brother, son, martial artist, teacher, uncle, or friend,” William, 29, wrote. “What people do not know about Hank was that he suffered from schizoaffective disorder. It is a chronic mental health condition which is a combination of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. He experienced hallucinations, delusions, depression, and mania. It is a very severe mental illness that usually requires a lifetime of treatment. It is not well studied, so the treatment is largely an estimation based on schizophrenia and bipolar treatments.”

That’s just one tiny corner. They have 3 side passageways, the front of my workshop, the rear driveway, the paved area, and under the desert willow for play areas. Two stacks of metal bits and pieces and a 1.5 metre mountain made of rocks for hunting lizards in.

All mental illness seem pretty horrible, most don’t seem to be able to lead normal lives, which is quite understandable from the above

Yes, it does. It was suggested as a diagnosis for son#1 early on. Round about the time a mental health worker visiting our home made the insane suggestions of slipping my son some anti-psychotic meds to see if it made a difference. Unbelievable.

It’s that tarring everyone with the same brush thing she does.
My great nephew is profoundly autistic. 11 years old. Non verbal.He is in a special school for such kids. His mother was outraged tho. She understands how many kids are affected by what Pauline was ranting about.
(He recently received a grant for a language computer system. He is being trained on it now. His mother and father have started having lessons on it too. At the moment they have to put up with a machine saying, ‘I need, I need..’ over and over and they still haven’t got to what it is he needs but I suppose things are on the improve.)
Is this what the outrage and lynch mobs is about?
“These kids have a right to an education, by all means, but, if there are a number of them, these children should go into a special classroom and be looked after and given that special attention,” she said.
“Most of the time the teacher spends so much time on them they forget about the child who is straining at the bit and wants to go ahead in leaps and bounds in their education.
“That child is held back by those others, because the teachers spend time with them.
“I am not denying them. If it were one of my children I would love all the time given to them to give them those opportunities. But it is about the loss for our other kids.
“I think that we have more autistic children, yet we are not providing the special classrooms or the schools for these autistic children.
“It is no good saying that we have to allow these kids to feel good about themselves and that we do not want to upset them and make them feel hurt.
“I understand that, but we have to be realistic at times and consider the impact this is having on other children in the classroom.”

The lambert (symbol L, la or Lb) is a non-SI unit of luminance named for Johann Heinrich Lambert (1728–1777), a Swiss mathematician, physicist and astronomer. A related unit of luminance, the foot-lambert, is used in the lighting, cinema and flight simulation industries.

The foot-lambert looks like an Si unit, it was probably phoot-lambert in the pre Si unit days.

He’s burning great heaps of trees & limbs etc many of which he destroyed with the excavator. But the giant bonfire that’s filled the house with smoke was a huge heap of foliage left there by the previous owner, which just kept growing over the years.
Had to be burnt eventually but he could have waited until I leave.

Over here there is a defined season you can have bonfires without permit. Then there is a short window where fires with permit are permitted, then a total fire ban for the hotter months where you don’t even ask for a permit.

Something like that happened in Cairns when we were due to fly to Singapore.
We were called to the boarding gate only to see the port engine in pieces on the ground under the plane. Only a 2½ hr delay.

I am in WA, Perth metro.
Did a lot of burning off at my sister’s place last year. Season went from June to September IIRC, During October you need to apply for a permit, after that it was strictly fire ban. I think it varies from year to year depending on the variability of the season.

My Dad always gave a delay time a bit longer than he expected it to be.
His reasoning was, if the repair was done a bit more slowly the pax thought “How good is that. Right on time” If it was fixed sooner the pax thought” Gee, they have got us on our was sooner than we thought. Both ways they were happy.

In Qld each rural brigade area has its own Fire Warden who can issue permits year round depending on conditions. September is our bad fire month.

So I’ve done a chicken curry casserole, now in the oven.

Looking at the link, I see it’s a symptom of nasal infection – I have had a very slight infection of the mucus membranes of the hooter recently, which was treated with Clorsig ointment and seems to have gone away.

I remember a film many years ago (semi-documentary) when a person smelt burning over a period of time, it turned out to be a brain tumor.
3 x Zn, Iron, aspirin
take them together and the placebo benefits are amplified.
Reading on in the article Poik posted, I see there’s a common pattern of auditory hallucination, which I have some experience of in people I know who suffer schizophrenia and elderly people. MrsRule’s grandmother, for example, keeps hearing her central heating running at night. She has repeatedly called out service techs, replaced the heater unit and control panel, moved house… Still hearing it.

Odd to find Americans serving Marmite Soup. From the 1939 Lockheed Aircraft Corporation Thanksgiving Dinner.
Diner menu, don’t know the date but the prices are very reasonable.

Took inordinate amount of time to re-kit 4 vanity taps. They were squeaky and now they are not. The grease had turned to black water and there was a shit-load of salty looking deposits inside the flanges and elsewhere (calcium carbonate?).

“Last year, a paper published in Science made waves with the stunning claim that the human nose can detect a whopping one trillion different odours.”
That number is debatable but olfaction is extremely nuanced and easily confused/open to suggestion or even synaesthetic I reckon.

Utopia hasn’t started yet. Some time in July.
Mad as Hell was reasonable. Raised a couple of wry laughs.
I’m not really a big Shaun fan, but I do enjoy the morning chat with Red Symons on radio Melbourne when Mad as Hell is in session. Those two bounce.

Yeah, there is that.
You could stoke the fire a bit with a rake or shovel. Pile it up so you’ve got some biggish logs all close together burning hot. Then rake the smaller items on top. Chances are they burn more vigorously with less smoke. I left this fire going for a weekend, kept piling it up and piling it up, every couple of hours till it got dark. Took two or three weekends to get rid of it all. Adding more dry wood as required.

Not a dig at you, buffy; there was an English TV show called Utopia from about 2013. It was extremely violent. I haven’t seen the Australian one.

Yeah. You need to rake up the dried out bits (from the previous owner’s rubbish pile) to form the base of the fire, and put the green stuff on top. Green stuff will burn if you have a nice hot fire under it, otherwise it will smolder. That picture I posted earlier was too green to get going all at once, the trick was to get a hot fire going with the good fuel in one corner and keep pushing everything else on top.
It did help that the neighbours asked if they could dump some of their logs on top with the tractor, their stuff was fully dried out.

I might escape it for a while by going for a walk and getting some FNDC supplies. It’s going to be raining tomorrow.
At least that will mean the owner won’t be lighting more fires.

I once lived in a district that had a noxious weed commonly called Boneseed. It was noticeable that some people cleared it from their property, but would ignore plants growing just over the fence in plain view. An attitude difficult to understand.

My nephews got plenty of opportunity for potatoes in alfoil and marshmellows. They even tried to fire a “clay” pot made from mud dug out of the bottom of the pond. All thanks to Uncle Bernie’s arsonist tendencies.

It is foolish and complacent to assume that the most effective techniques will remain forever the monopoly of one side.
So it is that the Public Theatre’s production of Julius Caesar – that’s the one in which Caesar is a Trump lookalike who gets group-stabbed in a protracted death scene – was disrupted by right-wing protesters doing exactly what the left does: shutting down anything they don’t like.

Oh, another protest by a micro minority activist gang intolerant of others opinions
Not intolerant, just in disagreement with a highly intolerant individual.
But it’s always the case that when normal people disagree with the rabid right, the latter try to claim their “free speech” is being ground beneath the liberal jackboot.

So it is that the Public Theatre’s production of Julius Caesar – that’s the one in which Caesar is a Trump lookalike who gets group-stabbed in a protracted death scene – was disrupted by right-wing protesters doing exactly what the left does: shutting down anything they don’t like.
They did an Obama as Caesar version a few years back. No one complained then.

There is no silent majority here. Every poll so far indicates majority public support for it. It is not a leftist issue any more. Nor is environmentalism for that matter. Those that oppose it are the noisy rightist minority.

True, and normal people are entitled to disagree with her, and voice their disagreement.

There’s a word for that.
Commissioning polls and studies
See also: Recognition of same-sex unions in Australia § Public opinion polls
AME commissioned a Galaxy Poll in 2010 which found that 62 per cent of Australians supported same-sex marriage, and 80 per cent of young people (18–24 years) supported marriage equality. In 2011 they commissioned a second Galaxy Poll which found 75% of Australians thought legalising same-sex marriage in Australia is inevitable.
In March 2011, AME released a paper which found that Australia’s same-sex marriage ban hurt its economy. According to the paper, married partners are less likely to seek government aid, state and territorial governments gain money by issuing marriage licenses, wedding expenditures would stimulate the economy, and tourism would also benefit.
A July 2014 poll, commissioned by Australian Marriage Equality and conducted by Lynton Crosby and Mark Textor, found that 72% of Australians supported legalising same-sex marriage, while 21% were opposed. A majority of those identifying with major religions supported same-sex marriage, including Catholics, Anglicans and non-Christian religions as did a majority of older Australians aged over 55. Textor stated, “This poll definitively puts pay to some of the myths that married couples or those with religious beliefs are against same-sex marriage. It doesn’t devalue their marriages or faith, and instead gives everyone equal access to the rights they are accorded”. Further, 77% of respondents agreed that Coalition MPs and Senators should be granted a conscience vote on the issue.

so it seems it isn’t just a one-off result but consistant over a number of years. unlike the trump vote polls.

No, very much unlike that. They vary a bit but it is around 2/3 to 1/3 for v against marriage equality. Probably why they have chosen not to proceed with a plebiscite because they know it would be approved.
We are really just waiting for some old dinosaurs to piss of and die.

Dutton has been said to support the coalition legislating for it so that they have a say in how it’s implemented. In the past few days I also read somewhere that Brandis might be retiring soon and would like to see it done before he goes.

Tell a lie, it’s once again British, and made by the same production company as the Planet X one.
>Fiend Without a Face was made entirely in England. Its Canadian setting was chosen because it would appeal to both American and British Commonwealth movie audiences, while still being easy to replicate using the English shooting locations. U. S. Air Force stock aviation footage was also used to establish the military base setting and to pad out the film’s meager running time. The producers used primarily expatriate American and Canadian actors working in the United Kingdom, plus a few British actors dubbed by Americans.

I feel sorry for the woman, no matter what she says it will be distorted mercilessly by those who wish to extract some political gain and to feed those incapable of independent reasoning. There are children with disabilities so severe that they need one on one attention and obviously are not capable of attending conventional schooling, yet some parents ignore the facts and regardless expect their children to attend a public school. This is unquestioningly unfair on the teachers and other students and such handicapped children should be sent to schools designed to care for their needs, which is what Hanson was saying. I am no fan of Hanson, but distorting what is said by anyone for distortion sake reflects a gutter mentality.

This is unquestioningly unfair on the teachers and other students and such handicapped children should be sent to schools designed to care for their needs, which is what Hanson was saying. I am no fan of Hanson, but distorting what is said by anyone for distortion sake reflects a gutter mentality.
I think that unless you currently teach children and know what it’s like people should shut up about this.

Tell the news media that you will stop buying their product if they quote her. No publicity is good publicity, in this case.

Morning all and sundry.
15.3°C, 69& RH, clear and almost calm. Not much else to report. The surf was still quite savage yesterday. The tide was very high when we walked to the beach. So high the bottom of the aluminium stairs were in the water. I got a bit of other stuff done. (Mostly replacing plugs on electrical stuff.) Things I’d been putting off for years. Mrs V got the last of the tomatoes planted out. Mr Mangled Toe got patched up at Gympie Hospital, and is still able to go on his planned holiday to Cape York today. Which is good.
Mrs V is going to watch Janet King on the electrical interweb thingy television slab with iView box attached. I’ll be going off to get some bread, then re-heating the remaining soup for breakfast. After that? No plans. Apart from using compressed air to clean the lawnmower and do some vacuuming in the shed. And, surprisingly, go down to the beach. But first, even more surprisingly there’s c…o…f…f…e…e…

Pre-schoolers are quite different to the teaching older children, a change from a more caring roll to an educational one where class order is considerably more important.

So you are a spokesman for all disabled children and all their disabilities. I would very much doubt it! Some are severely disadvantaged grading all the way to slightly disadvantaged, you cannot lump them all into one basket.

A tad windy here. With a bit of rain. I’ve lit the fire.
Groceries this morning. I have nearly got them all put away.
I ordered them for a morning shift rather than an afternoon shift. For the last few weeks I have had a lady deliverererer. She hates the road and she hates her new truck. The turning circle on her new truck is a lot worse and she is having problems negotiating the hairpins on the road up and the turn around in front of the house. Her life is a series of 9 and 13 point turns. On top of this they keep on scheduling her to arrive here later and later. And it is dark early.
This morning’s man agreed the new trucks were terrible. The whole fleet had been replaced and all the drivers hate them. He doesn’t like that there is no weight in the back and he is refusing to do the Geeveston run because he has been bogged down there. He said to try to keep booking him ‘cause he understands I depend on the service and I am one of the nicest people he visits.
Well goodo. :)
Good afternoon, I hope everyone is enjoying their Friday afternoon. I’m just enjoying a late lunch; this morning’s appointment took longer than expected. I went to a gentleman’s apartment, rendered my services and was paid for it. In return he has a shiny new resume, customisable cover letter and LinkedIn profile. It was a most productive morning.

Wellllllllll… It depends. Some people find it useful, others don’t. Mr Mutant has a very basic profile, not even a profile pic and he’s always headhunted. My sister has had a few people contacting her from LinkedIn. I’ve never had any success. Maybe it’s just me :p
If you’re looking to connect with other artists, I suspect there are better platforms for doing so.

Sauternes being a sweet dessert wine.
It’s that kind of thing which i think has misinformed Americans about wine for many decades – the impression that all wines are excessivley sweet.
I think that partly this stems from the Americal obsession with ‘sweetness’ (“if ‘tain’t sweet, it’s prob’ly gone bad – that’ll kill ya, son”), and partly from exposure to Jewish tastes in wine (Jewish wines are notably sugary).

Tomato paste and garlic, topped with salami, topped with onion, sliced tomato, sliced olives, anchovies, mozzarella cheese,and basil and oregano from the garden. Several minutes in the Geo. Foreman grill, et voila!
I call those ‘dodgy pizzas.’ I have them once a fortnight these days.
The Barely-Domesticated Wolf is badgering me to go to the lounge room to keep him company.
I think i should go. BBL, probably.

How did the bonfire pan out, Did it all burn up or go out?

Seems to have cleared what he meant to clear in that particular spot.
Some stink was still hanging around this house for much of today, but I think I’ve successfully replaced it with cooking smells.
I’m going to pour a rum and call it FNDC

http://www.theonion.com/article/cern-researchers-apologize-destruction-5-parallel—55780
GENEVA—Expressing deep regret over the catastrophic incident that occurred within the Large Hadron Collider, officials from the European Organization for Nuclear Research, also known as CERN, held a press conference Monday to apologize for the destruction of five parallel universes in a recent experiment. “We are sorry to report that in conducting research involving high-powered proton-proton collisions, we inadvertently caused the implosion of five universes nearly identical to our own,” said CERN Director-General Fabiola Gianotti, adding that billions of people worldwide might have experienced momentary vertigo around 9:45 a.m. as a result of several of their alternate identities being wiped from existence. “I’d like to emphasize that there is no need to worry, as we were able to contain the damage before our own time stream disintegrated into oblivion like the others. Furthermore, in order to perform an investigation, the LHC will be shut down for the remainder of the afternoon.” At press time, a team of CERN researchers in a parallel universe was preparing to perform the exact same experiment.

I see. A bit zombie like really.
Back from the pub. Et steak and veggies and a few chips. With mushroom gravy. Drank orange juice and hot chocolate.
Anyone following the Saga of buffy’s Mum might be interested to know that she ambulanced to hospital Friday before last after going vague. Ambulance sheets (which Dad photographed and emailed) said low, low blood pressure. We didn’t get any more information and I was being pig headed and didn’t ring Dad to find out how things were going. I emailed him, but replies were not forthcoming. Today we got an update. She was in Epworth and someone, god bless him, must have done blood tests. At last! They’ve stopped her diabetic medication. So now they have stopped her blood pressure tablets (Mr buffy diagnosed her falls to be low BP about 2 years ago) and stopped the diabetic medications (her dose was the same as Mr buffy’s and as far as I know she only weighs in at around 40kg….Mr buffy is, um, more than twice that size…)
I’m hoping this means more blood gets to her brain with better perfusion and that more glucose will get there too for it to use. So she might, just might, be able to think a bit better. We still intend to pick her up Sunday week and bring her here for a week. And they’ve given her B12 injections. She must have been low.

Well lets hope her vagueness was due to low BP and not a memory issue.

Oh, there is a dementia. I just think it has been overlaid with other perhaps poor management.

Sort of thing that needs to be regularly checked. Good to hear she’s now better sorted.
I’m suspecting my blood pressure might now be too low to warrant the strength of tablets I’m on.

Probably something more archaeological. Excavating chambers full of mummies under Stonehenge or suchlike.
WASHINGTON—Calling the program “the most crucial in the agency’s history,” researchers at NASA announced Wednesday they have successfully deployed a Special Exploratory Rover to Congress as part of an open-ended mission to seek out any possible trace of funding on Capitol Hill.
The rover, named Hope, is a remotely operated, semi-autonomous vehicle outfitted with ultra-sensitive equipment that can detect even the smallest amounts of program-sustaining revenue, NASA scientists confirmed. The unmanned explorer will reportedly traverse the chambers of both the Senate and House of Representatives, continuing its search as long as necessary.
“The climate Hope will be navigating is incredibly hostile to this sort of research,” said project manager John L. Callas of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, explaining that the rover will collect any deposits of funds it can find, however miniscule. “But we have engineered this vehicle to withstand the most challenging fiscal landscape, having learned from previous missions that the harsh, unforgiving environment of Congress often makes it difficult to carry out scientific inquiry of any kind.”
“It of course goes without saying that we cannot send a human being on such a mission,” he added. “The conditions are far too punishing.”
According to Callas, Hope will first be directed toward areas of Congress that scientists believe are most likely to reveal previously undiscovered discretionary cash flows. In the weeks ahead, after investigating several dozen seats on the Senate floor, the vehicle will move on to explore a structure called Mikulski’s Chambers, and by the end of the fiscal year the rover will bring its alpha-particle X-ray spectrometer online, attempting to peer into the largely opaque phenomenon known as the appropriations process.
Hope isn’t the first NASA rover to climb the steps of the Capitol and assess whether conditions in the legislative branch might be favorable to funding. A previous vehicle, Possibility, was launched during the budget crisis of 2011, but scientists reportedly lost contact with it when it attempted to cross the aisle in the Senate and became mired in treacherous procedural maneuverings.

The ABC local radio in Brisbane did an Emergency Announcement regarding JT unable to play anymore this season.
Be alert but not alarmed, check on the metal health of neighbours, tell the kids that everything will be alright etc.
It was read in dour terms by the guy who does the real flood and fire emergency warnings.

So as a result of the recent fall in Sydney, Mrs rb has both flanges on her raidus with longitudinal cracks but that’s minor compared to older damage where the scaphoid is in two major separate parts and numerous fragments plus quite progressed arthitis. Specialist suggested removing those pieces and fusing the other four bones to prevent pain. Quite a day out in Wagga today.
The first priority however is to get the lymphoma under control. All the signs are good. There is currently no cancer growth and the stem cells appear good.

Still a cash cow for the league and the networks though. I read that’s why the league clubs are willing to put up with their best players decamping for weeks mid-season.

‘Record-breaking sniper shot kills IS militant at 3,540 metres’ – ABC News.
Horrifying as it is, i have to say that i’m impressed.
While i could once reliably hit targets of the appropriate size at 600 metres, my very best was just a bit over 900 metres.
The pic that accompanies the article says that “Canadian forces are working to train Iraqi snipers”, but shows someone aiming an AK rifle, with the aid of what looks like an old soviet PU scope.
He could probably hit the barn with that combination at anything up to 150 metres.

i read something about this earlier on another site, they were saying that even with the best optical scope he would have been struggling to see the target at 3000m range. They suggest someone closer to the action or a drone were was providing targeting info. Pretty amazing technology if true.

It is a very impressive shot. It isn’t impossible to get lethal range at that distance with the right combination of projectile and all the rest but it is a brilliant performance from the viewpoint of the calculations of projectory to achieve accuracy over such a range.

It isn’t inexpensive for me but I live to serve so all good this end. What anyone would want and we have discussed this is from her viewpoint with an added bit from my end. “I don’t want to die just yet”.. I haven’t yet drawn a picture around that spanner to hang on the wall.

Yes, at 3.5km, the target is going to be ‘miniscule in the reticule’. If we’re talking about a drone or forward observing somehow relaying real-time targeting imagery to the shooter, then the horizon is (hypothetically) the limit.
I’m wondering about the bullet-drop, windage, and other calculations that go into a shot over that range. Formidable.

When the Mythbusters did a sniping myth they called in a US army sniper team, who worked as a pair. They had one bloke doing the shooting and one bloke with a computer doing the calculations.
At what range would you call in artillery or heavy weapons from a tank or armoured vehicle?

The wally in the pic would be better off throwing away the AK, and finding an old Mosin-Nagant M91/30 somewhere. That’s still a respectable combination. Perhaps even better, a good Kar98 with that old PU scope

Initially it was a bloke with a separate view of the target, assisting with calculations. Now it would be using all the available tech and as such being able to way improve upon the optics and brains previously utilised.

Yes. I did scrape upon the logistics of the ballistics used. the projectile doesn’t have to be big. It just has to make the distance.

US Army sniper teams usually had two – one with the sniper rifle (for the Army, a match-grade M-14), and one with an M-16. The M-16 man was to provide volume of fire in case of discovery or for opposed withdrawal. Didn’t matter who did the calcs – i could do my own sums quickly on the range.

According to the Rambo films the M-60 is designed for short-range shooting from the hip. Different class of weapon.

It is a fascinating subject to get yourself involved in but it does effectively involve shooting firearms at distant targets.
Something that I have had a little or maybe a lot of experience with but not a fascination with other than at neutral targets. I have an aversion for the sound of bullets hitting flesh. which is probably why I want to be a long way off.

I know enough of the M-60 (or ‘the pig’, as it was referred to by some).
Descended from the Germans’ WW2 MG-42, it was a devastating weapon when it was well cared for, and provided that it wasn’t worked horribly hard.
There was, as i understand, an occasion when General William Westmoreland visited an Australian unit in Vietnam, and asked a Digger what he thought of the M-60 the soldier was manning. Apparently, the soldier told the General in explicit detail.
That said, one M-60 pretty much destroyed an NVA battalion on its own at LZ -X-ray in 1965.

Not going to go anywhere near a mythbusters about employing an M-60 from the hip. Besides that, I’d probably rather emply the M-60 from any position rather than a Bren gun.
Not a sniper’s weapon no. Unless you are ripping stray dogs that come across the firing range, in half.

I know enough of the M-60 (or ‘the pig’, as it was referred to by some).
Descended from the Germans’ WW2 MG-42, it was a devastating weapon when it was well cared for, and provided that it wasn’t worked horribly hard.
There was, as i understand, an occasion when General William Westmoreland visited an Australian unit in Vietnam, and asked a Digger what he thought of the M-60 the soldier was manning. Apparently, the soldier told the General in explicit detail.
That said, one M-60 pretty much destroyed an NVA battalion on its own at LZ -X-ray in 1965.
Quite capable.

OK ta. You may have guessed I know bugger all about snipers, but it is an topic I find incredibly fascinating.
It is a fascinating subject to get yourself involved in but it does effectively involve shooting firearms at distant targets.
Something that I have had a little or maybe a lot of experience with but not a fascination with other than at neutral targets. I have an aversion for the sound of bullets hitting flesh. which is probably why I want to be a long way off.
I read a bit a long time ago about sniper battles in WW2 between the Germans and Soviets in besieged cities. There was a bit of the hunter becoming the hunted about it. I don’t think my nerves would be strong enough to do the task.

Taking the shot is one thing. It is about the science of achieving a goal.
What you aim at, is an entirely different subject.

Although, as Melanie Safka sang, “…it’s the only thing, that I could do half right…” (and a fat lot of use it was), i detest their purpose.
However, their mechanism, the precision and timing of their functioning, the intricacy and ingenuity of their engineering, their dependability and precision, are things that i find fascinating.
Ooh, Mr buffy just told me that he was talking to my chook fancier friend in the supermarket today and it is possible I may be able to have a Barnevelder and a Buff Sussex from him soon.

indeed. I have always had a fascination with all fine mechanics.
Well I did choose between on the day of a career in bearings for agricultural use and an apprenticeship as a watchmaker. I did have previous relationship to a certificate of markmanship (top of the class) from the Police citizen’s boys club at Kurrajong Heights when I was probably only 11 or 12 at best. Later when in the cadets, I topped the class again. Between times I did actually put a 12 gauge load between a friend’s legs to destroy that brown snake that was attempting to strike him. A natural sniper can calculate his own distance per shot fired even at the young age of 14. He said what the fuck? I said would you rather a few pellet spots than a lethal strike?
All I did was raise a clod of dust and shredded snake. not one pellet hit his legs.

Largely pretty. The Sussex (the buff is really just the colouring) are a mixed meat and egg bird. I’ve had Speckled Sussex before. They are a big chook. And reasonably calm. I’ve also had Partridge Wyandottes, also a meat and eggs chook. Those two were the favoured breeds of my original business partner, who was a chook judge and showed birds. When he was culling his show birds, I would ask for a trio and a cardboard box that made scratchy noises and gentle clucks would arrive at the back door of the practice. Ian is now dead, so no more chooks from that source.
I presently have three Hamburgs, which are a much finer, closer to a jungle bird. And flighty. We lost one that flew up into a tree and on flying down encountered the dogs. They played way too rough. I had to net over the run so they can’t fly out.

We take much the same approach we take with dogs. Put them together and let them sort it out. We/ve never had a catastrophe so far. Although I have once had to put one of the lower order chooks into a different yard for a while. They could see each other and they grew to understand that things had to improve. It did work.

Within my youthful four year life as an apprentice, a digital watch started at $1600 and ended at $2. I spent forty years out of fulltime work in this trade. I did keep it up. Actually ran my own business for as long as I could afford to be paying the horrendous costs as a contract watchmaker. All at the same time I also both worked within existing nurseries for fruit and ornamental exotic species and ran my own business growing and promoting native plants.
The results of my efforts may seem quite extraordnary to some but peanuts to others.

Sounds a bit like you’d be trying to handle me if I wanted to be stuccoing your house. However, if I’d been discussing the integral or intinsic beauty of anything, there is the possibility that I could at least enterain partial enthrallment.
For me, well your cats can fuck off back to Persia and your dogs could easily be better off as wolves.

This is indeed what you also don’t know about me. Nor I you. We can make what of what has been said but when my wife asked me what the show “unforgotten” was about. My answer was “largely what older people dont want to recall but will eventually be forced to”.
Having re-watched Invasion of the Body Snatchers for the umpteenth time, I’m now fast-forwarding nine years to 1965 to re-watch An Unlocked Window* for the umpteenth time.
What do these two productions have in common? They’re both cult classics and by coincidence, they both star Dana Wynter.

You might be talking to a 50 year old police woman just waiting for you to flash your Macintosh photos.
Off the internet:
“many casual historians likened the U.S. to ancient Rome, both as a comparative study and a cautionary tale. America is certainly not the Roman Empire, but the tantalizing prospect of a circumstantial connection between the two is too intriguing to ignore. By the time the Huns and Vandals were threatening the very walls of Rome herself in the 5th century A.D., the empire had been degraded through years and years of decay, corruption, internal strife, and general malaise.”
Sounds like the USA.

I think it depends on the couple. Being the same age in the mind is probably the most important.
People mature at different rates. I have children already and therefore have no interest in having to parent an adult as a partner.
Therefore being mature minded and self sufficient and capable matters. I was an adult as a child I am sure.
Some people are youth like in mindset and therefore link well with a younger demographic in their partners and it works for them.
Some men or women prefer to date older partners by more than 5 years because they prefer mature minds. I would ask those questions of the individual.
I would not want to parent my partner though or be parented by a partner. Those types of relationships have a shelf life ime.

My answer was “largely what older people dont want to recall but will eventually be forced to”.

Why have you gotten into the habit of feeding them so early? Surely, if they have to be fed twice, 9am and 9pm is good enough. I thought people are supposed to be fed first, pack leader etc.
All the more reason for a building industry authority that is actually independent:

Yes We are at 900 metres altitude so get frosts. Normally no lower than -3° but in 2007 we had a -12°

In town maybe 4. I don’t usually get any even if it is cold enough. The waterfalls in the backyard disturb the air enough to prevent them.
i see. So not really much of a winter at all.

Not too many people out & about either. Pretty much everyone has a woodheater so it’s nor too bad cold-wise.

Probably the biggest frost I’ve ever seen was at Tenterfield. There was ice all the way up the tall trees.

No not really. The big plus is that it’s the Dry season & IMO dry cold doesn’t seem as bad as wet cold.

Yeah. Frosts usually bring warm sunny days or rather, that’s what makes frosts.

9 am is totally impractical. I leave for work at 7.30am. So on work days I get up, feed them, and that occupies them while I do my floor stretches. Then I eat and go to work. On non work days we don’t have set breakfast. It’s feed yourself in this house except for tea time in the evening. So I just feed the dogs when I get up. Miss Mischief must have woken up The Pug this morning. Mind you, both of them are now sitting on top of Mr buffy in the beanbag in front of the woodheater. He is reading the Herald Sun. I am reading the ABC news online and shouting out the interesting bits to him.
Morning.
16.0°C, 73% RH, 4/8 cloud (light, high) and nearly calm. Achieved yesterday: I cut Mrs V’s and my hair, cleaned the clippers and trimmers. I cleaned the lawnmower and some of the floor in the shed. I partly cleaned the hairbrush. I made a very simple but impressively tasty cauliflower soup for dinner. There’s still some left. Mrs V made a cheese-topped damper to go with it.
I suppose I’d better finish cleaning the hairbrush today.
:)
It was supposed to be sunny yesterday, after days and days of cloud or rain or drizzle. But it decided not to be, so I was flannelette sheetless last night. Still, a pleasant day, managed to fit an extra walk in along the creek over the road that flows into the lagoon, with my daughter and grand daughter. There was a pair of black swans cruising up the creek…..a beautiful sight. I love this place.
Cauliflower eating here too, last night it was a big plate of it with cheese sauce. I didn’t put enough water down the sink afterwards….oh, the smell of cruciferous vegetables. About to head off to the markets for another bag of the best brussel sprouts, fresh from the farm.
Ooooo, look, an upload button! Thanks cb88.

On the western roads most drivers drive down the middle of the road where possible. That way they have a better chance of avoiding wildlife from either side.

This problem will be sorted out. There’s sufficient motivation to throw enough money at it.
A lot of the push for driverless vehicles is coming from the transport industry. Money invested now in the technology will be returned manyfold when truck drivers, taxi drivers, bus drivers etc (and their wages) can be eliminated.
When, several years ago, i saw Richard Hammond report on a driverless truck being developed for the US Army, my thought then was ‘truck drivers – your days are numbered’.

I’m not sure what the driverless car is supposed to do in the event of seeing an animal. Does it swerve and brake harshly to avoid a collision? Does it factor in the size of the animal when deciding i.e. do not hit a cow or horse, but a dog or kangaroo is OK.

If they tweak the stats. This place is lousy with Eastern Greys.
>In addition to difficulties detecting roos, the cars will need to be adjusted for a few other Australian quirks before they are rolled out.

——
Assuming that the AI can detect a roo and determine that avoidance measures are needed I doubt that it will do much more than braking and a little swerving at least for starters.
Working roos out will be the hardest… other than the decision to potentially kill the driver rather than that bunch of school kids :/

Sorry. I hust found out that I’d forgotten that I’d put the book with all the passwords and addresses in my pocket to go to Wagga yesterday. The first time it has been out of the cupboard for years, then this morning was dutifully cleaning pockets and completely forgot that the book should also have fallen out after I’d tipped the pants upside down and shook them. First thing I knew was what are all these tiny bits of paper in the washing machine until I found the empty cover.

I just pulled out the third last lot of tomato plants. I gleaned a few semi ripes off them. Some will ripen inside, some will rot. I’ve had containers of semi ripe tomatoes on my kitchen bench for months now. But I no complain. Even though the tail enders are not as flavourful as the main season, they still do a mean Neapolitan sauce.
I’ll go out and pull out the penultimate ones shortly. I might even get to the last survivors later this afternoon. I tend to distract myself a bit with weeding and playing with the dogs.

I’ve only used cabbage leaves. The blanching first to make them pliable is a bit annoying, but worthwhile.

Rule 303 said:Normal tomatoes are nearly a dollar each at my local fruit/veg shop.
I just pulled out the third last lot of tomato plants. I gleaned a few semi ripes off them. Some will ripen inside, some will rot. I’ve had containers of semi ripe tomatoes on my kitchen bench for months now. But I no complain. Even though the tail enders are not as flavourful as the main season, they still do a mean Neapolitan sauce.
I’ll go out and pull out the penultimate ones shortly. I might even get to the last survivors later this afternoon. I tend to distract myself a bit with weeding and playing with the dogs.
Tomatoes eggplants and capsicums, all been dead here for weeks. I pulled my peanuts up today. I’ll be raking up walnuts for weeks.
Thanks for reminding me, there are mini capsicums to pick. They seem to have managed the frost so far. Why do you rake up the walnuts? I just run the recycle mower over them.
How about that Qatar hey…

Hundreds of kilos? I eat them and sell them and give them away. I daren’t take a lawnmower anywhere near the black walnuts. Bloddy cannon balls.

Gorilla in the mist: Zola makes splash online for dancing in zoo’s pool – video
Zola the gorilla can barely contain his excitement while splashing in a pool at Dallas zoo. The activity is part of the zoo’s enrichment program, which provides stimulation in order to encourage more natural behaviors. The 14-year-old western lowland gorilla originally became a viral hit while ‘break-dancing’ at Calgary zoo in 2011

How many trees have you got? We have one that is probably 35ish year old. It doesn’t produce huge amounts every year, in fact this has been a lean year. But when it does, it’s no big deal to run the recycler over them.
Bruna has discovered my stash of walnuts from about three years ago, where I just left them in a tray outside. They must be still tasty. She crunches them with her jaws and then she and Hei Long eat the contents.

Well I have stuffed today up.

Well there you go…..I looked up chicken saganaki because I had never heard of it. I eat saganaki when I go to a Greek restaurant, but it’s just fried cheese. Apparently saganaki is just the name of the pan it is cooked in.

Got into the surf today for the first time since the hernia repair. Felt odd. Not painful, but quite odd. So I bobbed around for a while. Temperature’s gone down in the surf, too. It’s 20°C today

Lung patients at the Alfred usually have a high fat high calorie diet when admitted, most are underweight, seems to go hand in hand, lung condition and appetite problems. I generally do try and eat but many times it is an effort, sometimes I wake at 3 in the morning with hunger pains, the beer has been digested so I usually just have an instant porridge, easy to make and then back to bed.
But against that is an awareness that my eating habits is not good so I take a multivitamin, vitamin d or b or c every day.
Not a great note to KTF on.

Hmmm.. Have you checked out whether there’s any in-home support available for your diet? I’m wondering if it might be easier for you if the food was provided and you just had to remember to eat it.

Mr buffy had a GSP before I knew him. He likes them. But we got Duke and that was that. Boxers forever. And a Pug. I heard Mr buffy asking Hei Long this morning if he thought we needed to get another Pug to keep him company…
Buschka also tried the Sharpei look when she was young. This is what happens when you stick your face into a bush and don’t know what insects are in there.

What is his life expectancy? Both Boxers and Pugs do about 10 years. We’ve tried to have puppies about 5 years apart to minimize the crying. Dominic fooled us, dying at age 6. But we presently have a 4 year old Pug and an 8 month old Boxer – not quite right, but close.

I think most dogs do. I know it’s not the thing to say so any more – one of the reasons I cannot go back to teaching dog training – but I believe dogs really are pack animals. They need some of their own so they know they are dogs.

Speaking of windows, I became aware when returning from the shops yesterday that every third house had those stupid shutters that don’t do anything. They just sit there, getting repainted every 15 years. They don’t open or close or serve any purpose at all. Without them, most of these houses would actually look better with their proportions being brought back to something that’s balanced. Argghh. I wish I could un-notice it.

I don’t know, but my working assumption is that they would.
If that is the case i wouldn’t mind if the companies involved are required to report anything suspicious. But then i’m very trusting of governments not to abuse their powers.

Facebook Monitors Your Chats for Criminal Activity
from the link
Facebook
and other social platforms are watching users’ chats for criminal activity and notifying police if any suspicious behavior is detected, according to a report.
The screening process begins with scanning software that monitors chats for words or phrases that signal something might be amiss, such as an exchange of personal information or vulgar language.
The software pays more attention to chats between users who don’t already have a well-established connection on the site and whose profile data indicate something may be wrong, such as a wide age gap. The scanning program is also “smart” — it’s taught to keep an eye out for certain phrases found in the previously obtained chat records from criminals including sexual predators.

My working assumption is that they would not want their websites used for distributing or assisting the drug trade, child porn, hate etc. It would be a small thing to add terrorism to the list of things the screen for.

can anyone think of a way to automatically blend the fill colours on a chart in Excel? I’ve got colours across a row (in RGB values) and column and I want the cells at the intersection between the two to be the combination of the two colours.

I don’t know how to do it automatically, but if the colours are not related to value you should be able to with some colour massaging with some internal cells and have the internal cell borders set to clear.

Yeah, hmmm, I dunno. The colour ‘blender’ algorithms seem to just pick the mid-point between each of the RGB values. That would be OK for my chart, but it’s going to take hours of tedious fucking around doing it by hand.

Yeah, I can use a website that ‘blends’ the colours mathematically but would still have to enter a lot of the values manually because the software that chooses the colours gives them as individual values in their own data field, whereas the website will only read them in as comma-separated values.

Apparently it is going to be 6° “colder” today than yesterday. “Colder” is not the word I would use, but someone doing the weather descriptions on my phone app thinks it’s a good word.
Woke very early, then went back to sleep and had a dream about having a nap.

I survive Mr PTSD’s visit to re-stucco some areas of the outside walls. I even made him a cup of tea. I also talked over him when he tried to interrupt me….numerous times.
mr kii’s brother is going home today. Seems he has turned a corner, or we are now getting real news as mr kii’s sister is there and keeping everyone up-to-date with what the doctors are actually saying, instead of text messages full of PRAY PRAY PRAY!!!!!!
He’s not requiring hospice care yet and might even go back on chemo. This sister is very close to my BIL…she won’t stand for the crap his wife goes on with, but has to tread the fine line between supporting her and keeping her focused on what her husband needs.
Gonna go faff around a bit and then do something else.
Oh, and hummingbird news. The serious hot weather has an upside. Two evenings in a row as I water the vege patch I have used the hose to create “rain” for a hummingbird sitting in the desert willow. The little thing loves the “rain” and flaps its wings, puffs out its chest and waggles its tail. I got some photos, but it’s tricky holding a hose and a camera at the same time :D Might post a photo or two later.

These killers, these hunting machines are decimating the krill population, it’s slaughter on a massive scale in the blood soaked seas around Antarctica, but it’s out of sight.

Yes, the Mirror is gibbering.
Sausage rolls don’t contain sausages, they contain sausage meat. Actually in the commercial ones it’s better described as “sausage roll meat” .
These puffy things are just ordinary frankfurters with pastry around them. They’ve been available in Australia for a long time and people don’t confuse them with sausage rolls.

They had a very hard look at the cost of the telephones that have been put at emergency points on highways and worked out how often they’ve been used and the cost of installing and maintaining them.
It worked out the cost of every phone call made from those phones was ~$40,000 per call.

There was a sequel to that, by an unidentified female performer billed as Josephine XV, I’m Happy They Took You Away; the original performer, billed as Napoleon XIV (actually a recording engineer named Jerry Samuels) retaliated by issuing They’re Coming To Get Me Again, Ha Haaa. The B-side of the original single was the reverse of the A-side, with pictures and (most) text reversed. The song itself was also reversed: !aaaH aH ,yawA eM ekaT oT gnimoC er’yehT.
There you go. More information about that song (and its performer) than you could possibly want to know!

i’d never thought about it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete
“Large concrete structures such as dams, navigation locks, large mat foundations, and large breakwaters generate excessive heat during cement hydration and associated expansion. To mitigate these effects post-cooling is commonly applied during construction. An early example at Hoover Dam, installed a network of pipes between vertical concrete placements to circulate cooling water during the curing process to avoid damaging overheating. Similar systems are still used; depending on volume of the pour, the concrete mix used, and ambient air temperature, the cooling process may last for many months after the concrete is placed. Various methods also are used to pre-cool the concrete mix in mass concrete structures.”
I read somewhere a couple of years ago that the curing process for the concrete in the Hoover Dam has just about finished.
Also, that, there’s no truth to the stories that some workers were accidentally entombed in the concrete pour – because (i) quantity of concrete poured at any one time would have not been sufficient to do that and (ii) engineers would never have tolerated the structural weakness that would arise from incorporating a human body in the build.
And another concrete related question, will the reinforcing steel entombed in the concrete rust or does it survive for the life of the concrete…which is…
I understand that it does not rust, as it’s cut off from the oxygen in the air, if the construction is properly done.
If it isn’t properly done, then any exposed steel will begin to rust, and this will work its way into the structure. As rusting tends to ‘expand’ the metal, this can cause cracking of the concrete. As well, the loss of strength in the steel compromises the planned strength of the structure.
The life of the concrete is a long time. It’s become a problem, as the early generations of buildings with pre-stressed concrete in them require some nifty work to demolish, as they’re of an age where people want to replace them with something more up-to-date. You can’t just let all that stored tension/energy go ‘twang’ and be released all at once.
I think that dams like Hoover and Boulder are estimated to be able to stand for several thousand years.
Of course, water always wins, eventually.

I saw an American show where they were recycling a building, the concrete was smashed in a big crusher and it went up a conveyer belt where the metal was picked out, they ended up with two big piles, one of steel rods and the other small fist sized concrete that could be used as foundations.

Or a highly alkaline environment will passivate the steel, IIRC.

Very very easy to do that. All you have to do is withdraw all our troops.
Then they’ll go back to their age-old feuds of killing one another off. They’ve been doing it for literally thousands of years. They only stop when they join forces to repel an invader, such as NATO.

Not with any sized bomb that a religious nutjob could realistically come up with.
Oh, the “religious nutjob” jibe can of course be applied to any faith, creed or numinous feeling.

Then they’ll go back to their age-old feuds of killing one another off. They’ve been doing it for literally thousands of years. They only stop when they join forces to repel an invader, such as NATO.
sigh
Molly, you don’t understand. As soon as they start killing each other then someone or other from “the west” will be asked to come in to stop it. Of course, once they do they’ll be “crusaders” and therefore deserving a bombing.

Good in theory, but it might disrupt world oil supplies.
The best thing we could do to combat Islamic terrorism is to perhaps develop some sort of realistic substitute for oil.
What if we told all the Muslim Sunnis and Shiites that Allah does not exist.
Would they believe it?

I think governments are already working on disrupting the electrical infrastructure.
Surely there must be some critical generator nodes or such?

I am sure there’s places where taking out a major power line or two would work (there are places where the major lines have soldiers stationed at each tower) but a whole city would be a bit trickier.

Would it be enough for me to say there are some terribly weak points in our major infrastructure (in Australia) that could very badly affect a city or cities, of which electrical infrastructure is only a small part? I’m not going to give details, for reasons that should be obvious.

Knock out a big telephone exchange. Kills off all the phones and eftpos. We had 2 weeks with neither. In some respects it was lucky it was out in the sticks to some extent. On the morning of the fire, which was 100km away from us, the local banks restricted cash withdrawals to $200. Because they could not get any more cash. The modern way of ordering your cash for the Armaguard blokes to bring is online. There was no online, so no cash. We let people take their glasses because we know them. They came and paid later when the system was up again.
I personally couldn’t understand why the system could not just be re-routed through Ballarat or something, but apparently it was not set up with rerouting abilities.
If you knocked out some of the electricity as well, you could really cause a problem in a city.

There are other people more suited to the role, but someone in particular has been nagging me for ages to apply, so I did. She seems to see things in me that I don’t recognise in myself.

It wasn’t me that responded to the survey but thanks for asking how I was as I have been pretty down lately
The survey is about how people helped oor didn’t help when you were grieving. The aim of the booo is a general guide on how too deal with grieving people because something that I keep hearing is, “I wish peoople said something.” Most of the time it’s just because people don’t know what too say.

When they do say things, they are very often statements about themselves (I’m very sorry… for example), or just bloody awkward and even inappropriate. We seem to feel pressured to address the Elephant in the room, but we have no idea how. I think it’s important to acknowledge the Elephant, but don’t feel any need to tell the person how I feel, nor how they should feel.

Yeah, I think we feel awkwardness because we fear discomfort, we would do anything within our power to reduce the other person’s grief, but we have very little example or guidance on how. There are countries where they’re great at it – Everyone gets together and indulges in a big old bunch of Grief Porn – Australians don’t do that.
In the situation you’re describing, I guess you could respond ‘Everyone loves baked potatoes – How d’ya reckon he’d go with Brussel Sprouts?’

That’s a yo-yo. There is custard powder in the mix. Melting moments are butter, icing sugar, plain flour and vanilla.

My brother died last month, all said something that I came across, so I find the statement “I wish people said something” a bit odd.

These are true melting moments. Yo-yo type biscuits sandwiched with jam and cream are not melting moments.

I’ve had this discussion here before. The recipe I use is from a book of cookies, biscuits and slices of the world by Aaron Maree. Every recipe I’ve used from it works well. I trust a dessert chef to know what a melting moment is like.

A family friend was shot dead … 2 bullets … one to the shoulder then one to the head.
His parents struggled with it, as expected, but when none of the uncles, aunties or cousins failed to mention their son once during their next family holiday only a month later, that really cut :(

They have butter cream. If you put an egg in the biscuit mix as well, and join them with jam and butter cream, the are monte carlos.
I’ve made quite a lot of biscuits over the years.

A Persian friend once taught me how to cook a number of her dishes. They were all quite simple so I didn;t bother to take notes. Of course, after enjoying our huge meal with wine, I forgot the lot, yet remembered what we ate.
Youtube was my friend. I have never seen so much abuse in the comments. Everyone was convinced that their way was the right way, as their great-great-grandmother made it this way etc.
There’s really no right or wrong. Recipes are a bit like language. Different areas/families etc. use slightly different versions and they also evolve. At the end of the day what matters is that they work for the people using them.

Unfortunately not, still waiting autopsy results, died suddenly in his sleep after a big day surfing the day before.
I discovered recently that my niece is on ice; she’s been charged with several major traffic offences (including speeding to escape police) and possibly some others I don’t know about. She was out on bail, but as far as I can discover failed to appear at her trial a few weeks ago.

Just the usual patterns – god botherer’s added some god bothery words into their sorry for your loss etc, the most awkward moments were just after that was said – maybe DA should look at an appropriate segway phrases after ‘sorry for your loss/condolences’

Not knowing what actually went wrong is difficult. My father died/drowned in an unusual accident leaving few clues. We’ll never know what actually happened, but at least when we had a likely scenario figured out, we could move forward.

Well that’s just f’n fabulous…
Part of my work in the last 10 weeks has been training kids who are in a ‘diversionary program’ to keep them out of the hands of Juvenile Justice. It hard work and unrewarding, but you can’t just bang them in gaol. I hope your niece takes the opportunities she’ll be presented with in the next few weeks.

God botherers know things about spiritual sustenance. Whatever your opinion of their religion might be, if you have never felt the need for that kind of sustenance (in whatever form) you have lived a very, very fortunate life.
I would be concerned (wrt finding the appropriate segue) of the perils of creating a ‘cookie-cut’ response that will be interpreted as lacking emotional engagement and dismissed as cliche.

I hope she does, too, but it might be too late for that now. I don’t think even her parents know where she is ATM. I keep worrying that the next phone call from my sister will be to tell me my niece is dead.
As for your work with “diversionary program” kids, it may seem unrewarding now, but it may also bear fruit later. My parents were involved with a programme working with violent offenders at a youth prison, and said that it was among the most rewarding experiences of their lives, though it was hard and sometimes harrowing work.

Our current social contract seems to follow the ‘Very sorry for your…’ statement with ‘Please call me if you need anything…’ – Knowing full well that the person is most unlikely to actually call, or that you might be able to provide anything they actually need. I stopped saying that about five years ago. If you’ve got help to give, don’t just offer it – give it.

Because of the age of my patients, I get to say “It was his/her time” a bit. Usually I have known it was coming anyway. I recall one patient who kept her appointment with me a couple of days after her husband died. I don’t really remember the conversation, but I’m pretty sure it was rather open. She had been nursing him at home for a long time. It’s horses for courses. When our friend killed herself, Mr buffy and her partner spent a lot of time here in the loungeroom just talking. It helped that Mr buffy had attended previously when she was ill, and I think A needed someone to talk to who knew all the back story.

I’ve never said “very sorry for your loss”. The first time I came across it was on a TV program and it was so stilted I decided never to use it.

It can, but the “Fuck, Tony, that’s shithouse mate” is truly empathetic. Expressing an understanding of how a person must be feeling often means using the worst words in our vocabulary.
Saying “sorry” and offers of help are more about the speaker that the person grieving. It’s not empathetic at all.

Funnily, it was my optometrist who gave the best response of all after I told her about my dad.
She said something along the lines of “Well, that’s no good, but it’s your time now. All you can do is look after yourself and your own kids and look ahead”.
I was absolutely gobsmacked for a few seconds, as I’d never heard anything like it. To this day, I still appreciate her choosing to move away from the cliches and take the risk of offending me.

Yeah, I think one of the bravest things people will do is walk head-long into an awkward situation and willingly stay there. Emergency responders do it all the time, so it doesn’t surprise me that Mr. Buffy might be good at it. Being able to have the most awkward conversations is a sign of emotional maturity, IMO.

probably potentially offensive to treat those nearest as if someone’s dead (how dead are they?), because the persons not entirely dead in their heads. There’s always assistance with that though, people can be very helpful. And there’s that other thing too, watching someones back that’s stumbled into trouble, those nearest can be left with what may have such and such wanted in such and such circumstance. Not that it can ever be known for certain, but those nearest maybe have something to start with, if they get through the added dimension of the horror of it becoming entertainment.

I have always addressed the risk of psychological injury in exactly the same terms, and using the same strategies, as physical injury, and I wish more people would treat it the same. We all know about identifying and neutralising the physical hazards, but the psychological hazards are very often ignored. There is no safe level of exposure to trauma.
We are out of it now…..please look after yourself and make sure you know when to leave, Rule. We destroy the minds of our emergency workers.

A lady I know lost her husband to cancer when their eldest of 3 children was only 5 years old. When I stated to a mutual friend that “I don’t know how she copes”, the response was “She doesn’t” :(
No, general members of the public, some of whom like to think they are important people in society.
I didn’t really consider it an oops. It’s a statement of fact. Pretty much every police/ambo/fire person I know has some sort of difficulty, although a lot deny the fact. Wives/partners know. We talk.

There is one, and only one ambo that I have met who is so stable and so beautiful in his soul that he can probably manage many years of work. I think I’ve only actually been in his company twice. I told Mr buffy that if I ever need an ambulance, I want I.

The survey is about how people helped oor didn’t help when you were grieving. The aim of the booo is a general guide on how too deal with grieving people because something that I keep hearing is, “I wish peoople said something.” Most of the time it’s just because people don’t know what too say.
My brother died last month, all said something that I came across, so I find the statement “I wish people said something” a bit odd.
I’m sorry to hear about your brother, poik.
The first time I noticed the statement was from a friend whose 16 yo son died from leukemia. People she knew, both on and offline, didn’t know what to say. Since then, I know of others who lost someone and people are reluctant to say something, or they say something inappropriate because it’s the first thing off the top of their heads. This concept of not knowing what to say has been on my mind for a long time, hence my survey. And of course it depends on the grieving person: so far I’ve found that if the grieving person is not religious, talking about “better places” and Jesus does not help.

At fear of sounding like I’m trying to fill out DA’s grief survey, did you see a pattern in how people talked (to you) about it?
Just the usual patterns – god botherer’s added some god bothery words into their sorry for your loss etc, the most awkward moments were just after that was said – maybe DA should look at an appropriate segway phrases after ‘sorry for your loss/condolences’
That’s a great idea, thankyou :)
Rule 303 said:
Our current social contract seems to follow the ‘Very sorry for your…’ statement with ‘Please call me if you need anything…’ – Knowing full well that the person is most unlikely to actually call, or that you might be able to provide anything they actually need. I stopped saying that about five years ago. If you’ve got help to give, don’t just offer it – give it.
A similar question is in my survey.

It is an old community here, the husband of a near neighbour died recently, amongst the oldies it seems is a tradition of old ladies and men visiting throughout the day carrying what looks like casseroles.

I seem to recall a forumer whose parent died and people gave the surviving parent lasagnas and casseroles; parent, forumer and sibling/s ran out of freezer space.
ANyway, thankyou for grief responses. I’m grateful for all information.

Yep. Freezer stacked to the gunwales with British comfort foods for weeks.

I think the thinking with the food is….family will be around and need to be fed. If it’s a woman surviving, she may not be all that inclined to cook. If it’s a bloke surviving, he probably can’t cook. When you are talking about elderly communities. And there are still a lot of men who can’t cook. Personally I think it’s a survival skill and they are foolish to leave it all to their wives. Not thinking of anyone in particular, who is really annoying me at the moment…

Always meals on wheels for blokes who can’t cook. Actually I don’t know if that is true. Maybe if they are elderly and slowly starving on a diet of toast and jam.
How is your mother, buffy?

>If it’s a bloke surviving, he probably can’t cook.
to some extent me and lady’s life together is with it in mind one of us may not be here tomorrow, as a practical consideration. But i’d be wrecked anyway (if she dies first), doubt it’d make a lot of difference (being practical about it).
we had a conversation the other day, I reckoned she’d sell the block here and all in flash and move to the city (nearer daughter, if/when I die), and I was right, to which I told her she’s fucken not! (with that sort of emphasis) .
of course it’s true she wouldn’t be able to keep up with the maintenance etc. Anyway my angle is she can find someone to do the work.
for the moment i’m fit, like I can still cut wood etc.
Divine Angel said:

Nice catch.
:)
Did you get as far as her ambulance ride a couple of Fridays ago? She was hospitalized for a week or so and I will be forever grateful to the doctor who bothered with the blood tests and promptly stopped her anti-diabetic medication (she was on the same dose as Mr buffy, who is more than twice her weight) and arranged B12 injections. Her new GP had already stopped the BP medication. No wonder she was falling over. Information is poor, but she is now only on Vit D, a bit more B12 and aspirin. I think. I’m hoping better pumping of blood to the head and blood with a bit more glucose in it might help with her state of mind. The wonderful thing according to Dad is that she is doing the ironing again….did I mention someone was annoying me at the moment?
Anyway, we are picking Mum up on Sunday morning and bringing her here for a week. We intend that she will get some mental stimulation. Dad is concerned because she wets the bed. But it’s already been established that this was a side effect of an anti dementia drug that the lovely hospital doctor also stopped. And anyway, that’s what rubber sheets are for. If I have to wash sheets, so be it.
Being me, I have a list of foods we will be eating next week which are stuff I know she likes. And we’ll make sure the veggies go in too. Mr buffy says I am being too optimistic, but I think if the medications are gone, we can get her into some fresh air, and take her to some places she used to frequent when they came to stay with us some years ago. It’s got to be better than sitting on the couch in the loungeroom all day with Dad on the other side of the room not wanting to talk to her.
Sorry. Got a bit carried away there

Tony Abbott got absolutely hammered in the press with his “shit happens” comment. Now the bloke may be an absolute moron, but the comment made in context to the group he was addressing showed a lot of empathy IMHO. Still didn’t stop idiots in the press rabbiting on about it for days.

Good that she’s on fewer meds. I hope the fresh air, cahnge of scenery and the diet will liven her up for a bit :)

Mrs. Pesce: “That’s not the same fish you had at my last visit, is it? I thought it was a different color.”
Dr. Grumpy: “Yeah. It’s a new fish. Ed, uh, retired.”
Mrs. Pesce : “So what’s this one’s name?”
Dr. Grumpy: “Ed. I name them all Ed. Makes life easier.”
Mrs. Pesce: “You know, I didn’t like the last fish. Every time I came in he looked at me, really angry. Like he thought I was faking everything. I hate to say it, but I’m glad he’s dead, because I’d been thinking about changing neurologists because of him and his attitude.”

On this specific thing, yes I thought the criticism of Abbott was unfair.
OTOH, the interview he gave about the criticism, was … odd…

Ditto onion
Ditto taters
Broccoli
Garlics
Capers
Thyme, nutmeg, pepper
Chicken stock
Semillon Sauv Blanc
Cream
Blue cheese
Butter
Olive oil
That lot will be simmered for ages before most of it is put through the food processor in batches, then returned to the vat with lots of chopped roast chicken for the final simmer.

I agree, Peter Capaldi is a good choice for the doctor. And I agree on the badly written. There is certainly no “Blink” in this lot. And I really dislike the casting of John Sim as the Master. Didn’t like it when it was done before. Don’t like it now.

In what way is Putin constrained?
He doesn’t do anything without first coldly calculating the ramifications of any action. Trump can’t stay on message for longer than a few minutes.

I reckon that in 10 years time North Korea will be habitable again with radiation levels down to permissible levels and South Korean companies able to move in and start rebuilding.
The peninsular will at last be at peace.

Really depends on the nature of the NK arsenal. If, as they claim, they have the hydrogen bomb, then things could get really ugly.
And they don’t need a missile. They could put it on a truck or a ship … just need to have it closer to SK population centres than to NK.
Still, all the more reason to act soon.

Not sure if you are serious, how about killing journalists, jailing dissidents, the Ukraine, more if I could be bothered googling a silly reponse.
You reckon Putin would have issues with courts if he wanted to stop immigration from particular countries…not that there are masses of people trying to immigrate but still. Or stop a healthcare initiative, or build a wall, or do any of the things that Trump is unable to do due to being constrained by various laws and the courts?

You are judging him using a metric of western liberal democracies. He is doesn’t do anything not constrained by the realpolitik of his position.
This was discussed yesterday. Hard to believe someone is happy to just sit on a property probably worth $1.5m.

I was going to mention that I think Lost is anothr series that should be watched in a block .. rather than weekly.. I think some series lend themselves to that better, but I agree, it it didn’t hold my interest at all
To me, ‘Lost’ seemed to be ‘Gilligans Island’, but without the interesting people and the ability to build complex technology from coconuts and palm fronds.
Seemed like the island had been visited by everyone from the ancient Babylonians to the Illuminati, but somehow none of that was any real help to the ‘castaways’.
I was really getting into the second season of Vikings but after three episodes it dissapeared. A little bit of checking revealed it was so popular, a poor mans Thrones it was snatched up by some pay TV mob, shakes fist

today’s bird picture
Having caught up on all my reading from the beginning of the year, I am now reading a book by a woman who worked as an Anatomical Pathology Technologist for ten years and is now the technical curator at a pathology museum and has been the consultant in a number of movies and TV shows to do with autopsies and death in general. It is a very interesting and fascinating read so far.
For anyone interested “Past Mortems” by Patricia Valentine.

I don’t regret it but they should have planned for four seasons rather than six.

she has the blood infection still that they are treating with antibiotics. Still testing for the cause, but at least they are keeping her out of hospital. She gets tired easily, but maybe because she’s a stubborn old goat who won’t take it easy over a period of time, instead preferring to go all out then collapse in a heap at the end of the day.

we are all pleased that she has been kept out of hospital. At the moment she is lower on my concern list than my friend whose husband has been given ‘months’ to live due to a Mucoepidermoid carcinoma, he has been fighting for years. She will be fine, but is mired in stage one through alcohol abuse. We (the friend set) are banding together to make her days more tolerable, but it’s taxing on all of us and, while we have varying skills, none of them are in grief counseling. We are just agreeing with her that it’s fucked up and not fair.

I have an old house-mate who has just stopped treatment for his cancer. I really want to catch up with him but in recent times he has gone full Christian and convinced himself his suffering is all part of God’s mysterious will. My heart just sinks and I am not sure if I can have the conversation.

Oh, he found religion a long time ago. I know him since childhood through our parents going to the same church. As young adults we got on the piss and did what young adults do. He settled down and went back to church after having kids.
I guess it disturbs me because of my niece dying aged 6 weeks. The sister and BiL are very much church goers too and really evoked the religion as a way of coping. I found the whole experience very disturbing.

sure is… I have been agreeing (with my friend) that it’s fucked up. Because it is. I communicate with her not much more of less than we did before his last diagnosis, but I have been going over there with coffee and tea cakes, and while I am there, have taken to cleaning something or preparing food for her, while we chat, so she can and will just throw something together later in the day when the kids need food. Treading a line between not too invasive but helpful (I’m hoping) without completely changing the routine we have always had.
I remember people telling me how I should be feeling, or what I should be doing when Mr Arts first had his accident and thinking, ‘fuck you, don’t tell me how to feel, about this’ .. so I am trying not to tell her how to feel, trying to be useful without overbearing and just being around if she needs to talk about it or just about how fucking cold it is lately.I dunno, it’s hard to watch this, but I can only imagine how it must be consuming her every move and thought ..

I think it also depends on your relationship with the person/people involved. For some people we might just spout common cliches “Sorry to her that” or “sorry for your loss” all very empty but an acknowledgement that we feel sympathy. While for close friends we might respond differently, because we know them better, or feel more comfortable with being more honest. However, people do change under stressful situations, so you can never really tell how someone is going to respond.
Also watching someone who is probably going to die is different than having someone die and then picking up the aftermath. what do you say to someone who has been told they are going to die that doesn’t sound vacuous and ungenuine?

I think it can be, but the pressure is the same, no-matter your motives. The desire to help each other is perhaps the most wonderful human characteristic. Sure, you could argue that it is (by some circuitous route of logic) driven by self interest – Is that intrinsically bad?

If there is a young family involved a pledge to help out when you can might be helpful.
IME people rarely ask for help.. you just kid of have to be there and help… rather than promise to

Because you don’t want to cut on a back swing because you are creating a row of cut material from one swathe all oriented in the same way ready for the next process which was the gathering and tying.
And if you do it properly there is nothing to cut on the back swing, that is when you take the step forward and sweep forward again.

I tried getting into Jimmy Carr’s live stand-up shows but found most of them are a serious of unconnected gags and one-liners, that after a while becomes a little bit overwhelming. I like a bit of a story teller.

Good morning Holidayers. Five degrees. Dark.
Today is stocktake day. C and I will be making a list of all frames we have in stock. We have actually already done some, so I expect we’ll get this done this morning. She has also done the lists for contact lens solutions, spectacle cases, magnifiers, lenses and miscellany. We are a bit ahead of ourselves this year. Then again, I think this is our thirty-something stocktake, so we really should know what we are doing by now.

Catholics are no longer the nation’s largest religious affiliation. In the space of five years, the number of people declaring they have no religion has surged to 29.6 per cent.
They now make up 7 per cent more of the population than Catholics and more than double the number of Anglicans, Australia’s largest religious group until 1986.

They were probably born Catholic or Anglican but have forsaken their supposed birthright by choice.
The churches react:
Cardinal Pell: Doesn’t bother me, I don’t live there any more and I’m never going back.
Archbishop Davies: Face, bothered? Do I look like I Anglicare?

Bungee jumper plunged to her death due to instructor’s ‘poor English’
THE poor English skills of a bungee jump instructor allegedly led to the death of a teenager who misheard him and died after jumping too early.
Vera Mol, 17, was told “no jump” by the instructor, but heard it as “now jump” — and plunged to her death, according to reports.

I’d be hoping it’s a darker than normal Star Wars movie, perhaps were Han makes some morally questionable decisions and even perhaps a murderer in the name of money.

Yes but even more so, he’s an apparent drug smuggler but perhaps he does anything for money in the beginning.
I’ll think that you will find that in the original reality the other guy did not shoot at all…

It was a scene from the film, one guy (Han) shoots another (Greedo) in the midst of a discussion about money. in the newer version of the film the second guy (Greedo) shoots first and the original guy (Han) shoots second to defend himself. Completely changes the narrative…

Couldn’t shoot someone at 2 meters away from him.

Apparently orb spiders take on birds that they trap.
So I’m a couple of days late in paying my rego. Paid by B-Pay. Realised after I’ve paid that I didn’t pay the late fee. Called the rego people who said the rego period will come down to 11 months and 3 weeks. When asked if I can legally drive my car right now, he said, “That’s up to you. We won’t get the payment for a couple of days but if you think the money’s all good, then you can drive. I can’t look it up and see that the money is pending, so it’s up to you.”
I have a screenshot of the receipt via the bank app… The rego guy was rather unhelpful in that regard.
I’m beginning to suspect that that’s why stormtroppers are such lousy shots.
The lasers in their weapons go easily out of alignment, they can blame the manufacturer.

I once had similar butchery on a wisdom tooth, with the dentist sweating and cursing for what seemed like hours while tugging at all the shattered bits of tooth.
He gave me a supply of morphine tablets but they interfered with my breathing, so I was taking Panadeine Forte or suchlike for a couple of days.

It was okay. I think condensing the entire season to 3 days made to writers lazy. Also i didn’t like how there was less time devoted to inmate’s back-story with no episodes devoted to a single character. It might be my least favourite season but i’ll stick with it next season.

I feel like it didn’t add anything to anyone’s narrative. Season 3 was my least favourite. I read an article recently opining that the writers are spreading themelves too thin with too many characters but I disagree.

Erythropoietin (/ɪˌrɪθroʊˈpɔɪᵻtən/ or /ɪˌrɪθroʊpoʊˈɛtɪn, rə, ˈiː, -tən/;), also known as EPO, hematopoietin, or hemopoietin, is a glycoprotein that controls erythropoiesis, or red blood cell production. It is a cytokine (protein signaling molecule) for erythrocyte (red blood cell) precursors in the bone marrow. Human EPO has a molecular weight of 34 kDa.
Erythropoietin is produced by interstitial fibroblasts in the kidney in close association with peritubular capillary and proximal convoluted tubule. It is also produced in perisinusoidal cells in the liver. While liver production predominates in the fetal and perinatal period, renal production is predominant during adulthood.
Exogenous erythropoietin can be provided to people whose kidneys cannot make enough. Recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) is produced by recombinant DNA technology in cell culture. Several different pharmaceutical agents are available with a variety of glycosylation patterns and are collectively called erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA). Major examples are epoetin alfa and epoetin beta. The specific details for labeled use vary between the package inserts, but ESAs have been used in the treatment of anemia in chronic kidney disease, anemia in myelodysplasia, and in anemia from cancer chemotherapy. Boxed warnings include a risk of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, venous thromboembolism, and tumor recurrence. rhEPO has been used illicitly as a performance-enhancing drug; it can often be detected in blood, due to slight differences from the endogenous protein, for example, in features of posttranslational modification.

Interestingly, the car was painted in an undercoat. It has Goodyear Road Racing tyres on it, a dealer’s number plate and lots of greasy hand prints on it. And a leather strap holding the bonnet down (as well as the standard spring-loaded cam-locks). I’d guess it was being road-tested after being re-built because of a race incident. Cleaning and painting would’ve been next.

Mr buffy bought Morroccan pies from Dunkeld Delights for us for tea tonight. I was going to serve soup like Bubblecar described (onion, celery, potato and chicken), but we’ll have that tomorrow after archery.
The stocktake today told me I do not need to buy any frames for a while. And I’ve done the PAYG payment summaries for the staff. And all the wages and superannuation stuff all reconciles for the financial year. It is actually easier now that I only have three staff. I think we counted as micro when we had six. I guess we are now minuscule.

The shots they had of the show didn’t look very flamboyant, more restrained. It was an interesting contrast with an early cooking show and the present ones.

Catholics are no longer the nation’s largest religious affiliation. In the space of five years, the number of people declaring they have no religion has surged to 29.6 per cent.They now make up 7 per cent more of the population than Catholics and more than double the number of Anglicans, Australia’s largest religious group until 1986.

It should be noted that the sovereign grant received by Her Majesty is not a private salary, but a payment that covers many things including the maintenance of the palaces and grounds that are open to the public, and state functions that would, for instance, in the US be funded through the State department.

Whilst this is true, the money comes from a fund into which is deposited all revenue from assets formally owned by us and our royal family. Furthermore, the sovereign grant s a relatively small percentage of the total earned by our assets, the balance of which goes to Consolidated Revenue. Any year’s sovereign grant money was earned two years previously.

Award-Winning London Homeless Shelter Is Based on a 10th-Century Design

Apparently some bastards have been calling for them to be replaced as commentators, and SBS has obliged.
FAMOUS commentator Phil Liggett, nicknamed the Voice Of Cycling, will be heard much less in this year’s Tour de France coverage.
SBS has revealed a significant overhaul of its coverage for the July 1-23 race, in which Richie Porte will try to become only the second Australian champion.
Liggett and his long-time sidekick Paul Sherwen will still be involved in the SBS cover, but not in the blow-by-blow commentary.
“Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen will feature as guests in SBS’s coverage during the Tour contributing analysis and insights,” SBS said in a media release.
Liggett and Sherwen have fronted the Tour coverage since SBS started broadcasting highlights in 1991.
….While Liggett and Sherwen are hugely popular in the sport, over the past few years, they have also polarised opinion and some fans have called for new commentators.
The British pair will continue to front the American NBC coverage of the Tour. But their diminished roles mean a massive opportunity for Australian pair Matthew Keenan and Robbie McEwen.

Anyway, I decided to put some pasta on. Small spirals. Then after a bit I added some broccoli heads and cauliflower along with some finely chopped leek leaf, a stock cube and a flick of vegemite. Found some dried up mushrooms in the fridge and finely chopped these into the mix. When the a la dante was about right I pulled the solids out with a bit of the jiuce and stirred it up with grated cheese.

It is about 8 degrees outside which isn’t too bad for this time of night. Shouldn’t be a frost in the morning but the -3’s will be back by the weekend.
Can’t see any stars.
It’s morning.
It’s one year since I fell over at Dallas airport and fnerked my knee.
It still hurts and is numb at times.
Plans for today – clean off the car parts son#2 had mailed to us. repack them for shipping to Australia.
mr kii’s brother is home from hospital. Not receiving hospice care, and may go back on chemo. The last text we received from his wife was full of all the things she’s doing and how great she is. We also got some photos of the patient. The text was not full of praise the lord god…god god god…PRAY!! The religious crap was noticeably absent. Someone took her aside and straightened her out, a bit. Mr kii’s sister, who believes in god stuff, may have impressed upon her that people prefer actual information about wtf is happening. So, it now seems we are getting every single bit of information about how she is doing a great job caring for him. Then there was the morphine comment – “if he feels any pain I’m giving him the morphine!!” Yeah, but what does the patient want?
I’m starting to think packing up for the big family reunion.
Son and family are enroute from Norway to eventually end up on the sunshine coast to meet with any of us who can get there.. I’m likely to wander up for a stickybeak. Just now thinking of my daughter as well.

Then there was the morphine comment – “if he feels any pain I’m giving him the morphine!!” Yeah, but what does the patient want?

The European Union has handed Google a record-breaking €2.42bn (£2.14bn) fine for abusing its dominance of the search engine market in building its online shopping service, in a dramatic decision that has far-reaching implications for the company.
By artificially and illegally promoting its own price comparison service in searches, Google denied both its consumers real choice and rival firms the ability to compete on a level playing field, European regulators said.

No, he’s just been saying he’s “tidying it all up”. I suspect he just wants over an acre of drab suburban lawn and cement.
The place is looking very desolate and exposed now, but I’m sure he hasn’t finished. The big trees will go next, but hopefully not until I’ve left.

Some people like to “rub their scent” all over stuff. I suspect he’s doing this.
One of the books I got from Clunes was a history of the V1, one incident was a nice little English village which had almost as a centre piece one of the few English oaks that had survived the ship building era, the main trunk and canopy was huge, and of all of the spots that a geographically embarrassed robot bomb could hit, it was that one oak.

hmm according to Wiki.
Guidance system
A V-1 on display in Musée de l’Armée
A reconstructed starting ramp for V-1 flying bombs, Historical Technical Museum, Peenemünde (2009)
The V-1 guidance system used a simple autopilot developed by Askania in Berlin to regulate altitude and airspeed (the RLM at first planned to use a radio control system with the V-1 for precision attacks, but the government decided instead to use the missile against London). A weighted pendulum system provided fore-and-aft attitude measurement to control pitch (damped by a gyrocompass, which it also stabilized). Operating power for the gyroscope platform and the flight-control actuators was provided by two large spherical compressed air tanks that also pressurized the fuel tank. These air tanks were charged to 150 atm (2,200 psi) before launch. With the counter determining how far the missile would fly, it was only necessary to launch the V-1 with the ramp pointing in the approximate direction, and the autopilot controlled the flight.
There was a more sophisticated interaction between yaw, roll and other sensors: a gyrocompass (set by swinging in a hangar before launch) gave feedback to control the dynamics of pitch and roll, but it was angled away from the horizontal so that controlling these degrees of freedom interacted: the gyroscope remained true on the basis of feedback received from a magnetic compass, and from the fore and aft pendulum. This interaction meant that rudder control was sufficient for steering and no banking mechanism was needed. In a V-1 that landed in March 1945 between Tilburg and Goirle, Netherlands, without detonating, several rolled issues of the German wartime propaganda magazine Signal were found inserted into the left wing’s tubular steel spar, used for weight to preset the missile’s static equilibrium before launching. Several of the earliest V-1s to be launched were provided with a small radio transmitter (using a triode valve marked ‘S3’ but equivalent to a then-current power valve, type RL 2,4T1) to check the general direction of flight related to the launching place’s and the target’s grid coordinates by radio bearing (navigation).
An odometer driven by a vane anemometer on the nose determined when the target area had been reached, accurately enough for area bombing. Before launch, the counter was set to a value that would reach zero upon arrival at the target in the prevailing wind conditions. As the missile flew, the airflow turned the propeller, and every 30 rotations of the propeller counted down one number on the counter. This counter triggered the arming of the warhead after about 60 km (37 mi). When the count reached zero, two detonating bolts were fired. Two spoilers on the elevator were released, the linkage between the elevator and servo was jammed and a guillotine device cut off the control hoses to the rudder servo, setting the rudder in neutral. These actions put the V-1 into a steep dive. While this was originally intended to be a power dive, in practice the dive caused the fuel flow to cease, which stopped the engine. The sudden silence after the buzzing alerted listeners of the impending impact. The fuel problem was quickly fixed, and when the last V-1s fell, the majority hit with power.
‘ning all.
Right Brachioradialis is twitching like a schoolboy in a whorehouse.

Annual healthcheck tests last night. Risk of cardiac arrest in the next five years, 11th percentile (relative to all blokes my age), 2nd percentile absolute. Happy with that.

None whatsoever. But I do know there are lots of Tasmanians that would have been sad at the removal of the old varieties of fruit from that garden. Some of us see it as something historic.
It is the uneasy social divide in Tasmania. The want to incinerate the landscape and the want to save it. All played out just outside the car’s door as I see it.

I’m a tenant paying him rent in exchange for occupancy of the property. Landlords aren’t supposed to intrude on their tenant’s enjoyment of the property unless it’s really necessary or unavoidable.

There was no real fire danger here, it’s just that he clearly prefers a very bare-looking garden and doesn’t care about old trees and local history etc.
And it’s his place so he’s entitled to do with it as he wants, but a bit more consideration for the tenant wouldn’t have gone astray.

Back in 2008/9? I read a book called ‘Fashioning the Forests’ by John Dargarvel? He wrote this unfolding story from first settlement of being uneasy with the bush, its untidyness, the different heights of trees.
The conversion of bush into something more recognisable, ‘the love of field and coppice, Of green and shaded lanes. Of ordered woods and gardens. Is running in your veins’ stuff, was played out big in Tasmania in the Midlands and north of the state.
It is all romance.

Bubblecar is the tenant he pays rent for a house that had a large garden. It no longer has that garden. The new owner is (in my opinion) not keeping to the original contract that Bubblecar leased the property.

It does in the sense that if kids (or adults) are taught how to complete IQ tests, they get a higher score than if they have no experience of such tests before doing one.
…also good general literacy, maths and reading comprehension skills make a difference, and are obviously part of a general education.

Nations and intelligence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The relationship between nations and intelligence is a controversial area of study concerning differences between nations in average intelligence test scores, their possible causes, and their correlation with measures of social well-being and economic prosperity.
Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen constructed IQ estimates for many countries using literature reviews, international student assessment studies and other methodologies to create estimates which have been widely criticized on theoretical and methodological grounds. Subsequent research by psychologists such as Earl B. Hunt, Jelte Wicherts and Heiner Rindermann has focused on identifying the causes of national differences in cognitive ability, and understanding the nature of their relationship to factors such as GDP, life expectancy, and democratic governments.

IQ and the Wealth of Nations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reception and impact
Map depicting average IQ values as presented in the follow-up book, IQ and Global Inequality.
Several negative reviews of the book have been published in the scholarly literature. Susan Barnett and Wendy Williams wrote that “we see an edifice built on layer upon layer of arbitrary assumptions and selective data manipulation. The data on which the entire book is based are of questionable validity and are used in ways that cannot be justified.” They also wrote that cross country comparisons are “virtually meaningless.”
Richardson (2004) argued, citing the Flynn effect as the best evidence, that Lynn has the causal connection backwards and suggested that “the average IQ of a population is simply an index of the size of its middle class, both of which are results of industrial development”. The review concludes that “This is not so much science, then, as a social crusade.” A review by Michael Palairet criticized the book’s methodology, particularly the imprecise estimates of GDP and the fact that IQ data were only available for 81 of the 185 countries studied. However, the review concluded that the book was “a powerful challenge to economic historians and development economists who prefer not to use IQ as an analytical input”, but that it’s likely those scholars will deliberately ignore this work instead of improving it.

Thursday 29 June
Showers about the west, far south and Bass Strait Islands, extending statewide during the afternoon. Snowfalls above 1000 metres initially, lowering to around 300 metres from late afternoon. Possible small hail. Areas of morning frost. Freshening northwesterly winds shifting southwesterly during the afternoon.

that’s me. It was saying 500 metres earlier today.

Menu itself. Trouble is the forum pitcher software reduces a lot of these menus to a size that’s difficult to read.

The heat death of the universe is a plausible ultimate fate of the universe in which the universe has diminished to a state of no thermodynamic free energy and therefore can no longer sustain processes that increase entropy. Heat death does not imply any particular absolute temperature; it only requires that temperature differences or other processes may no longer be exploited to perform work. In the language of physics, this is when the universe reaches thermodynamic equilibrium (maximum entropy).

They were a product from HSV (Holden Special Vehicles) which offer modified and upgraded versions of standard cheaper models. So no, not mass produced as such or huge numbers sold.

Chatterbox pudding, a dish common to New York restaurants of the 1940s, is almost completely unknown today. The dish, which seems to be a combination of boiled pudding with bread or sponge cake, is of unknown origin and has culinary historians “scratching their heads.”

From my experience. watering only costs money. It keeps plants alive yes but should they be there planted in that situation if you have to water them is a question I always ask. Yes, I grow plants for food and I do try to water those but if it isn’t for my food then it should be food for local natives.

He’s “vowed to return” to face the court.
He probably still hopes to have a crack at becoming Pope, and that’s very unlikely to be possible unless he’s cleared of these charges.

One would hope the new pope is as serious about clearing the church of child abusers as he claims, and if so would kick Pell out if he refused to go voluntarily.

I can’t imagine many accused child sex offenders aren’t guilty, it’s not something you;d accuse someone of lightly and if more than one child is involved its highly unlikely its made up, misinterpreted or a smear campaign

in Singapore yesterday. In Australia today.
St Justin’s Catholic Primary School in Oran Park has angered the community after year four students were told by a nun that they were being taken from their parents at the request of the Prime Minister because they weren’t being looked after properly.
Distressed children weren’t told for five hours that it was only a role play about a part of Australian indigenous history, and that they would be able to go home to their families.
Some children were so frightened they reportedly burst into tears, couldn’t eat, and tried to escape at lunchtime.

I found some Donna Parker books at Bookfest last weekend. She’s an old 14. I was not an old 14. Reading these books I still feel 14.
Last night I was reading and Mini-Me sat next to me, demanding I read Donna Parker to her. Certainly a change from her regular literary exploits but hey, happy to oblige. She’s a hell smart cookie, that’s for sure.
Hmm. Nothing I’m writing today is making sense. Fragmented mind.
I’ll just go read some more Donna Parker.

“I remember a very old pharmacist who used to use his mortar and pestle to mix up a medication for you when the doctor had prescribed a much more expensive alternative. Poor old Mr Murphy. I remember his poor old arthritic hands working away to provide something that always worked for you and cost next to nothing. He was a decent, honest friend of the neighbourhood.”

Has anyone found a good use for Facebook Live yet? I’m toying with ideas of using it as a live video feed from emergency operations.Also, any suggestions on what to cook for dinner would be most welcome.
I’ll be having a simple Germanic meal of a pork chop served with a mixture of sauerkraut, chopped leek & garlic cooked up in the pork fat with a small and judicious pinch of caraway seed, plus a single boiled tater. Hot English mustard.
I have a scotch fillet. Some pinkeyes. haven’t got any further.

You could fry up some mushrooms, tomatoes, sliced onion and garlic to accompany the steak & taters.

Neither the rusted-on left nor the rusted-on right vote is enough for either party to win government, they have to appeal to the centre. Abandoning the centre to try and recapture the One Nation vote will simply hand government to the ALP at the next election.

Facebook Live can be a bit intrusive, too. I was stuffing around with it earlier today and it refused to stream a feed because I had music on in the background and the site was worried about using someone’s IP without permission.

The cyber attacks only seem to target businesses.
I have heard no reports of a personal computer being infected either in this attack or the previous one.
However the media don’t speak to this.
They are giving the average punter advice on how to avoid getting the virus.
If home computers were being hijacked the headlines would read “Hundreds of Thousands of Home Computers Hijacked” but we are not getting that all we are getting from the people who inform us is Thee Businesses in Australia Hijacked.

The virus apparently was initially sent to a business in the Ukraine, which then affected other businesses that had connection with it, who intern affected other businesses. Hence mainly business connections.
This Moviprep is much better than I remember. Flavour reminds me a bit of Sal Vital (which I haven’t had since I was about 10). But it’s not fizzy. This time I’ve had it chilled for two hours (as per the hospital’s written instructions). Previously the instruction was to prepare it using warm water and drink it immediately.

One of my patients was one of the very early people to get the double kidney/pancreas. He had to go to Sydney. I reckon it was about 25 years ago. It worked marvellously. He came off his insulin, and contrary to my expectations his eyes improved.

My patient became a friend. I would warn stumpy to beware of chicken pox. Because D’s immune system was suppressed he could not fight it. As I remember him telling me the last time I saw him, he was the last of his cohort from Sydney who was surviving. He was very, very well at that point, and looking towards 10 years since transplant. The chicken pox foiled him.
(he came into the practice and asked me to go for a coffee with him, he’d moved out of the district by then and came back visiting, although not specifically me – when he was in town he and his wife called in. I count it as fortunate that I was able to go and chat with them that day)
I hope all is well with stumpy, he collects model cars so must be a tops bloke.

My patient became a friend. I would warn stumpy to beware of chicken pox. Because D’s immune system was suppressed he could not fight it.

Talking about the war, tonight’s film will be Back-Room Boy (1942), a comedy morale-booster starring little Arthur Askey, Moore Marriott, Graham Moffatt & Googie Withers.
Mostly set on a bleak Scottish lighthouse, if I remember rightly, with the usual scheming Nazi spies improbably involved.
But first I’m going to brew some coffee to serve with a splash of whisky, since the cold is setting in for the night.

stun, or kill, and bleed immediately is humane. leaving them on the ice to suffocate and freeze isn’t.

http://kb.rspca.org.au/what-is-the-most-humane-way-to-kill-a-fish-intended-for-eating_451.html
All fish that are caught for eating must be handled carefully to reduce stress and humanely killed as soon as possible after capture. Humane killing requires that the fish is stunned (rendered instantaneously insensible) before being bled out.
Fish should remain in water until immediately prior to stunning. There are two methods that can be used to stun fish caught by hand: percussive stunning and spiking (also known as pithing or iki-jime).
Percussive stunning involves a forceful and accurate blow to the head with a blunt instrument. The force required will depend on the size of the fish. The blow should be aimed just above the eyes to impact on the brain. The effectiveness of the stun should be checked and another blow applied if the fish is not unconscious.
Spiking involves driving a sharp spike (such as an ice pick or a sharpened screwdriver) into the brain of the fish. The spike should be placed in a position to penetrate the brain of the fish and then pushed quickly and firmly into the skull. The impact of the spike should produce immediate unconsciousness. The spike should then be moved from side to side to destroy the brain. Visit www.ikijime.com for a detailed description of this process.
After stunning or spiking, the fish should be bled out by cutting the gill rakers or, with larger fish, a main artery.
The following methods are not suitable for killing fish as they do not result in a rapid or humane death: chilling with ice in holding water, carbon dioxide in holding water; chilling with ice and carbon dioxide in holding water; salt or ammonia baths; asphyxiation by removal from water; bleeding out without stunning.

oh woops – I assumed you were replying to my post. I didn’t do the reading thing proper. Too much going on in other forums with AFL Tribunal appeals and Cardinal Pell.

snowing nicely now but not sticking.

The blow should be aimed just above the eyes to impact on the brain. The effectiveness of the stun should be checked and another blow applied if the fish is not unconscious.
This is the method I’ve employed. I had to hit my first whiting twice. I learnt on the first strike that behind the eyes is no good. The second whiting got one blow between the eyes.
They were the first fish I’d caught in over 50 years (except one eel around 30 years ago – bashed once with a big stone).
Oh I do like to be turn the outside lights on and the inside ones off..and watch snow.
I really don/t like killing sentient creatures. Munyeroo is OK, as is chilli. But I survived the moment of difficulty, and enjoyed eating the fish.

The main reason the price of opal has risen is all the known opal fields have been largely worked out. It has been going down for over 2 decades now, so not surprising prices have risen. These days it is a matter of shifting a large amount of dirt in the hope of hitting a pocket of opal, but the machines needed consume a considerable amount of fuel, quickly making it uneconomical unless they consistently find it, which today in the current fields is very unlikely.

Yes. This is all true. Though new finds have been made over the years, the major fields have been flogged to death and the newer finds were either not so outstanding or indeed even more expensive to dig.

My current employer was at the gemfest at Lightning Ridge recently and befriended a miner who opted to show him his opal mine. The miner pointed to huge nearby workings as they were preparing to descend. He said, “see that hole?” John said “how much did that yield?”.. “not a cracker”, said the miner. “what about this one then?” The miner said, “well three weeks ago I would not only have not allowed you down but would have also told you the same story. Now that I’ve finished digging it, I can tell you that in three weeks I’ve taken $11 million out of it”.

Was supposed to be -5 here early this morning but I’m sure it didn’t get that cold. I’d be surprised if it even reached -1.But we’re promised -5 again tonight.
It snowed nicely for a time last night. It didn’t stick. It mustn’t of been cold enough here.
Jolly good.
I don’t think the kitchen water pipes even froze this end. They were still fine at 6:30am.
Yeah, like you were out of bed a 6:30am.

Was told yesterday that my brother has renal cell carcinoma, but my interlocutor (my mother) was vague on the details, and my brother has lost his phone (the one whose number I’ve got) so I can’t call and talk to him about it. I’m told he’s going to have the affected kidney removed later this month, in an attempt to stop the cancer metasticising.

That’s bad news btm, and frustrating that you can’t contact him.
How does your mother contact him?

You could send him a telegram with your phone number and ask him to ring.

How does your mother contact him?
She’s got his phone number on her iPhone, but she’s totally blind, so relies on Siri to use it, and can’t figure out how to get it out so she can tell me. She’s in Ballarat and I’m in Melbourne, so me looking at it isn’t really an option. And my brother moves around a lot because of the work he does (a fortnight ago he was in Brisbane; now he’s in Western Australia, where the surgery’s being done. A few weeks ago he was in Ballarat) so it’s hard to track him down with “normal” methods.
TATE suggests that, if it’s caught early enough, the five-year survival rate is 65-90%, which is promising.

I’ll call my sister (who uses one of those phones) and ask if she knows any way to get Siri to speak phone numbers.
All she could suggest was that your mother actually ask Siri to say your brother’s number aloud, which might work.
A simple solution might be to ask her to ring your brother and tell him to ring you.

So… I took the steel plates that I cleaned up with wet and dry sandpaper one by one washed them in an ammonia solution and then worked on them with steel wool and gumption. then I dried them with a cloth and they are all now on clean newsprint on my hotplate.

good evening all… huzzah it’s school holidays time! two weeks to spend with my children doing whatever we like. Also, it’s horrible weather outside so we are bunkering down tonight and having a good old fashioned jigsaw puzzle night after dinner.
I have wasgij which shows a scene but the actual jigsaw is the scene as seen by one of the characters you see on the box… so you have to try to imagine what they are seeing..
for when we have finished that I have another jigsaw where the scene on the box shows the ‘ideal’ scene, but the actual picture you need to put together is a disaster scene of it.
It’s low tech, yes, but the whole family gets involved and it’s nice times .. so very 1950’s :)

I got a lot of posters from allposters.com.au, always had good service. One time a poster was crinkled in the mail, no problems, they replaced it and threw in a freebie. It is also very easy to browse.

I got a lot of posters from allposters.com.au, always had good service. One time a poster was crinkled in the mail, no problems, they replaced it and threw in a freebie. It is also very easy to browse.
Thanks, they have it $90 for the large one, it’s still not as big as the original.

Yeah, if you are looking at a giclee print it will be more expensive.

I like how the muslims, with all their female genital mutilation & child marriage, refused to have the spotlight shone on them at the royal commission. Nothing to see here they said, in Arabic I believe.
So be it.

giclee prints should be made from pigment inks in an inkjet printer.

If they still have it check out the specials section, you can pick up some good stuff cheap. One thing I really wanted to get a few of was Soviet or nazi propaganda posters, or any soviet workers thrusting chins to sunny uplands, I have no idea why but for some reason they are all very expensive.

I have made a great purchase, an electric blanket which has a 12 hour setting, it is designed to be slept on whilst the power is on and suitable for invalids, it is also hotter at the feet end than at the other, have it on a low setting and you are nicely warm all night.

Not a bad idea. Do you have a hot water bottle?
Don’t have any electric blankets or hot water bottles, but with two quilts that bed soon gets pretty toasty.

Yep, and no regrets yet. My back hurts and I have had trouble keeping warm inside the house.
Have caught up on lots of bookkeeping and all this sitting has not been good. Physio not working as I haven’t had time to do my exercises. I’ll use these next 2 weeks to get mobile. We’ll be bush walking, bike riding and playing tennis. Dog is being dog-sat as pre-arranged, so we can even get back to the National Parks :)

Electric blankets are the best. I have been using mine every night. I have heard that they can be a fire hazard, even the new ones.
Supposed to be -3 tonight, but it is usually a few degrees colder here than Bendigo and a clear cloudless night do I recon a -5.

That’s why this one is good, it is designed to be slept on whilst powered and waterproof, you can even fold it as opposed to the old ones which had to be rolled. I am sure the older ones were to warm up the bed but you were not supposed to keep them on all night.

Has two settings, 75 minutes or 12 hours, might be for people who forget to turn them off or maybe for nursing homes? Nurses don’t have to worry about turning them off?

We’ve never had an electric blanket. I like to start cool when I go to bed. And when we did Gutbusters years ago that was the recommendation, go to bed cool. You will warm up.
(And no, that was not a euphemism)
Just checked at the back door. Two degrees. Clear sky – this I know because I just hung sheets and white towels on the line. A good frost is good for them.
we invested in a good (read- expensive) wool doona.. it’‘s beautifully warm in winter and cool in summer. we have the same doona on all year and no problems…. but then I do tend to ‘run hot’ and mr arts can’t feel most temp changes so probably no need for an electric blanket anyway

we can’t have an electric blanket… not good for someone who can’t roll or move during the night
What if you have it under a blanket on low? Nice gentle diffused warmth, doesn’t even really qualify as heat.

While I think of it, do any of you lot have a FujiXerox printer? I may have some consumables to give away. Mine has carked it and it’s a discontinued model (of course). And I usually have a full set of toners in the cupboard. I can’t see a newer model that uses the same cartridges. I’ll get back here with more information after I’ve sussed out a new printer. I really only need a mono, but you have to be careful because not all of them do envelopes. Some only do paper.

The one I have does seem to have cords, hence being able to fold it as opposed to just rolling it.

We did that. We’ve banished it to the top of the wardrobe. We presently are sleeping with an acrylic light blanket and a South American throw rug each – for separate heating requirements. I think they are wool and alpaca. Perhaps I should get the doona down again and see how we go. I’ve got the queen size feather doona on the double bed for Mum, with flannellette sheets and a throw rug on top. We would never survive flannellette sheets, I’ll probably send them home with her when we take her back.
Sunday is pickup day. Which reminds me, I should email Dad to remind him again.

does not?
anyway, you are probably right, they have probably come a long way in 20 years… but we are set in our ways now and there doesn’t seem to be a huge problem wrt warmth in our bed, not even on these cold cold nights…
I have an ordinary cheap doona, plus one of those waffle weave cotton blankets. Very comfy.
I have a fan heater set very low that comes on once every 15-20 minutes for a few minutes at a time and then switches off, just to take the chill out of the air.
I still wake up a few times each night with the flushing sweats. I don’t need to add an electric blanket into the mix.

I’m not, it lives on the bed. Just when I was reading the blurb it said it was able to be folded and didn’t have to be rolled like the old ones where. There are probably people who could be bothered putting them off and on again with change of seasons.

Grace had a ping-pong brain episode last night. During the evening inspection of the property she sat in front of me and wanted to shake paws (I’ve been trying to teach her this, so she stops putting both front paws on me when I ask her to sit). So….I went to shake her paw…..
In the split second it takes to bend over to shake her paw, she brought up the other paw, part of the lesson is trying to train her out of that. So….she’s briefly sitting there like a meerkat, then lost balanced and fell backwards, and then peed everywhere…whilst lying on her back.

Yeah, once the prep is over the little nap session is great. For my last one, earlier this year, I wasn’t as knocked out as in previous years.
I’m now on a 3 year cycle of them instead of 5, a precancerous thing removed.

Grace had a ping-pong brain episode last night. During the evening inspection of the property she sat in front of me and wanted to shake paws (I’ve been trying to teach her this, so she stops putting both front paws on me when I ask her to sit). So….I went to shake her paw…..In the split second it takes to bend over to shake her paw, she brought up the other paw, part of the lesson is trying to train her out of that. So….she’s briefly sitting there like a meerkat, then lost balanced and fell backwards, and then peed everywhere…whilst lying on her back.
(Sorry, couldn’t help myself. Such a brilliant description)

Oh, we laughed ourselves silly. I’m still chuckling. Grace has also perfected the Dobby look.
Meanwhile, Daisy is just Daisy…..acting like a cross between an old lady and a tank.

In 2011 I had two in one year and an endoscopy, Prior to surgery. Kept me busy.

Hmm…while mr kii is out dining with his old work mates, I have to wrap and pack some car parts for son#2. Airbags for brakes or something. For a Land Rover he is restoring. My lovely husband cleaned them off with the air compressor last night, then wiped them down. Lots of USA dirt on them and dried bug things. Also packing a special rear-view mirror thing, 5 assorted number plates, a Smaug Moleskine notebook for son#1 and some old slides that belong to their father.

Probably doesn’t qualify as a Darwin award, since they already have a three-year-old daughter, and the (19-year-old) wife — the killer — is pregnant. They haven’t removed his genes from the gene pool.

I made a ring a while ago (I found and refined the gold I used, and found the diamond I used it in, though I didn’t cut the diamond), and recently entered it in a jewellery and lapidary competition. I got it back last night: it won first prize in the jewellery section.
For Steve (primus)’s 60th birthday, I put a gold nugget and six small diamonds I had found in a phial and told him he’d have to make his own ring.
I like that. How did his ring turn out? :)

Not yet. I called another brother who promised to send me the sick brother’s number, but he hasn’t.

He has a phial with a gold nugget and six small uncut diamonds. It was a post-modern art present. Diamond Jubilee deconstruction. No ring was ever expected to be made.

I feel the need to correct that. Pension age is now 67. You can retire when you want (after 55 or 60, depending on your birthdate) on your superannuation.

It depends on when you were born. I can access this at 65.

Yes, it does depend on when you were born. I was born in 1959 and I can access my super at 60. I have already partially accessed it since I was 55 under the transition to retirement rules. So as you are older than me, you should be at latest the same as me – 60

But I am a male. We always had to work longer than females up until recently.

Sorry, but I’m assuming you super is private, like mine. You set your date. We set mine at 60. You must have chosen 65. It is totally unrelated to the government pension age. And nothing to do with gender.
Anyway, I’ve had this discussion here before. The superannuation guarantee has now been in place for many years, since 1992. I admit there are problems if work is casual, although super has to be paid for anyone earning more than $450 per month. There are a lot of the workforce now who have had compulsory super paid for 25 years.
I’m off to Melbourne to Mum-nap in the morning.
Morning punters and correctors.
Not many at the pool early this morning.

Ah, the ever shifting retirement goal posts, as tax receipts dwindle over the next 30 years and with the current crop of vapid dipshits from all sides of government, I don’t expect to be able to access my super at all.

I don’t have any super, as a sole trader I never played that game.
The money that would have gone into super was used to buy my cattle property.

True.
Age pension qualifying age for women was 60, for men 65.
Then there was a campaign to bring about equality in qualifying age. The campaigners’ aim was to get the mens’ age lowered to 60.
But, the government of the day raised womens’ age to 65.
Voila! Eqality.
Now, you have to be 67.
Soon, they’ll raise it to 70, and further increases are not off the cards.
It’s most inconvenient of the peasantry to insist o living so long.
The PNG election is underway.
You can see the results on their Electoral Commission web site, the results have been up for a couple of weeks.

My friend at Newrybar kept telling the insurance salesmen who came begging for a contract,, “you’re standing on it”. “what do you mean?”. “I mean, this property is my insurance policy and superannuation policy. So piss off”.

For anyone who is now 65 or older, the pension age is still 65. It transitions to 67 for those who are younger.
