There is always work to do. Sometimes I get so busy I forget to ask for God's guidance in the choices of activities to do. God knows when I should get things done better that I do and his Spirit will sometimes urge me to do certain things that seem out of order. It is only later that I can see that it was done at the correct time.
Each day as I awake, I talk to myself about what to do. It seems I always have customer orders to work on and always there is more work I can do for my web site.
Today as I was getting an order ready for mailing, Carol talked about going to the food bank to get some work done. Because the PO is the same direction, I decided to go with her so after I got my work done I could help her. It ended up that we spent 4 hours at the food bank. I felt good at the decision of going and helping. Maybe this was another of those Spirit led activities.
I am now home and after a little rest, I will begin some rock related activity. As I said to start with, "There is always something to do."

|An opening present in the same colours as my logo. from the lovely Tanja
New beginnings and all that jazz.
Was a great night, lots of old friends there and a smattering of new ones.
i love 'em all.
Especially Dane.
But not in a biblical sense.
Unless the bible had stories about people that just love t-shirts.
Am still dotting the Ts and crossing the Is but am getting closer and closer to the perfect set up.
A glorious spring day in our nation's capital today just made things that much nicer out there.
So nice that I took pity on a couple of munters that had run out of gas and drove them to the garage and back to get some.
Never trust someone that has never run out of gas

This is What's Trending Today…
Singer Selena Gomez made her name acting in children's television shows. She was also singer Justin Bieber's girlfriend for a while.
But recently she is better known for her music.
In fact, she has one of the top songs of the summer.
Songwriter and DJ Kygo's song "It Ain't Me" features Gomez. It is ranked 20th on Billboard.com's current summer music chart.
歌手和DJ kygo的歌"不是我"是戈麦斯的标识。它在排行榜上排名第二十位。
You might think Gomez would have been singing at concerts around the world or appearing on television shows to talk about her music.
But instead, she was preparing for a serious medical procedure.
Gomez is the world's most popular person on Instagram. She has over 125 million followers.
On Thursday, she used Instagram to explain why she was "laying low" this summer.
She posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed with her friend Francia Raisa. She said she needed a kidney transplant because of the disease lupus.
她在和她的朋友Francia Raisa在医院的床上的那张照片。她说她需要肾脏移植因为狼疮。
Gomez received a kidney from her friend. Humans are able to live without one of their two kidneys.
Lupus is a condition that affects a person's immune system. An immune system that works well fights diseases and viruses.
According to the Mayo Clinic's website, lupus causes the body's immune system to attack its own organs and tissue. Organs affected by lupus include the kidneys, brain, heart and lungs.
Gomez thanked her doctors and her friend. She wrote that she "looks forward" to being able to tell the story about her experience sometime soon.
She called Raisa her sister and said donating a kidney was the "ultimate gift and sacrifice."
Raisa is an actress and model. She appeared in a well-known television show called "The Secret Life of the American Teenager."
Many people reacted to Gomez's Instagram post. They offered support for Gomez and they told Raisa what a great thing she did by donating her kidney.
One user, Ingrid Talledo, wrote: "@franciaraisa, you deserve the sky. Thank you so much for everything that you did. You deserve all the love of the world."
一个用户在Ingrid Talledo写道:"@ franciaraisa,属于你的天空。非常感谢你为我们所做的一切。你应该得到全世界的爱。"
Gomez has been dealing with lupus for several years. In 2014, she had chemotherapyto treat the disease.
And that's What's Trending Today.

More ideas for McCook's 125th
(Letter to the Editor ~ 04/09/07)
You know, bed and breakfasts are a way we could get people to come to our town. It would help with the economy, make it so there is a gift shop for popular McCook artifacts; just a thought. The boarding house idea isn't bad one, either. The railroad had built one on 301 E. Second. So, why not tear down that ugly one and put one in the East Ward project?...
Celebrating the modern-day Troubadours
(Column ~ 04/09/07)
A long time ago, in the dim dark years of the Middle Ages, there were a few talented men (and probably some women) who roamed the countryside in England and France.

About the post.
Last Thursday, Andy and I set off on a 1000-mile journey in search of our Lovecars colleagues!
The journey saw us road tripping from Bristol in the southwest of England all the way down to Cannes in the south of France.
Luckily enough for us, we were given the latest Volvo V60 by the fantastic people from Volvo UK, which became our trusty set of wheels for the long journey ahead.
First stop: Dover, UK to catch the ferry across the pond!
As you can see above, we safely made it to the ferry and were able to book the next possible crossing to Calais via Direct Ferries, which only takes an hour and a half and gives you an opportunity to relax and have some food.
Having done the UK leg from our homes to the port myself, Andy then took the wheel in France.
We managed to make huge progress on day one and got within 3-4 hours of our final destination, which meant we only had a short drive the following morning to get to where we needed to be.
We found a budget hotel and posted up for a night's sleep!
The following morning, we woke up with a spring in our step as we knew we'd gotten the worst of the journey over and done with (4 hours' drive in the UK and 6 in France). We grabbed some pain au chocolat from the local bakery and headed off to continue our drive to Cannes.
We were heading to meet our colleagues from Lovecars who had spent the previous week attending and co-hosting the Italian Cars and Coffee event, which one of our fantastic team members Gab co-organises!
After their trip to Milan, they crossed the border into France with some close company friends and their incredible supercars. They managed to rent out a luxury villa down on the south coast overlooking the beach and the town of Cannes. Being film festival week, the city was abuzz with beautiful cars, famous and wealthy people, and lots of things going on.
Below are a few images of our accommodation; however, they don't do it justice! 6 en suite bedrooms, an infinity pool, and views across the beaches and town to die for.
We arrived early afternoon on the Friday after close to a 12 hours' drive in the Volvo (which I have to say was amazing and very comfortable to spend so much time in). We will be fully reviewing the V60 on our Lovecars blog sometime next week, but it was a really comfortable car to be in and the fuel consumption was incredible! We only had to slightly top up the full tank to get ourselves all the way down to the French Riviera.
We were greeted by our two colleagues who already had a bottle of champagne open for us ready by the pool and the weather couldn't have been better.
That drive was well worth it…….man, this place!
One of our colleagues Paul had to leave us to fly home for the weekend so the three of us left spent the rest of the day messing about poolside, admiring the views, and drinking a little too much of the alcohol we stocked up on in the fridge (Some of us more than others. I admit guys, ok?!).
The following day was all about exploring the local area. We visited the local town of Mandelieu-La Napoule with its stunning beaches and ports outlined with boats, yachts and wealthy people's toys.
Walking around the marina and ports was one of the best sources of inspiration I've had in the past year. A lot of people were looking at the yachts and such, questioning which celebrity owned them or how much they cost, whereas our conversation was more "when we achieve our goals, which one will you be buying". I certainly came away that day with a lot on my mind!
That evening, the three of us all turned up on our balcony ready for a night out in Cannes, little to each other's knowledge dressed in the exact same outfit…..idiots!
Nevertheless, we went with it. I mean who doesn't think 3 guys in white shirts and dark jeans look awesome…..right?
We enjoyed some drinks and a nice meal in the local area before booking an Uber into the main strip in Cannes where it was all happening. The Uber just so happened to be a brand new Mercedes S Class, which until then none of us had driven in. It's a car we see a lot, but it was great to actually experience a ride in one. It's an incredibly spacious and beautiful car, definitely built to be chauffeured in.
Cannes is awesome!
We sat in a bar on the main strip, sipping our drinks and watching the cars and people move on past us. No exaggeration, every other car was a super or luxury car from Ferrari's to Lamborghini's and everything in between. People were dressed in their tuxedos and on their way to the red carpet shows for the film festival. We probably saw countless celebrities, but being from Lovecars, all our eyes were on the motors!
We spent the evening moving from bar to bar and even managed to spend a whopping £10 in one of the casinos!
Sunday was spent relaxing by the pool, but our business partner and founder of Lovecars Paul rejoined us and we also were joined by our business developer early Monday.
Let's have some fun with the cars!
If you're friends with me on Facebook, you will see we weren't only joined by our colleagues in the villa, but we were also joined by some VERY special cars, including a Porsche 918!
On Monday, we started to plan out our first ever Facebook Live video stream.
The guys pulled the 918 out of the garage and parked it up on a lovely spot overlooking the marina close to our villa. Paul with the help of us and the team recorded our first ever "car walkthrough" as he effortlessly answered questions about the car from our 1.3 million Facebook fans.
We managed to get several thousand people watching live and the video received thousands more views in the hours that followed with some great feedback. Be sure to check out the video here on our Facebook page.
We were all reluctant to shoot our first "Live" session; however, such as most things in business, it's not worth worrying or spending too much time on something until you actually take action, and after taking action, it normally goes way better than you had planned and you almost always then question "what was I worried about!"
The next day, we linked up with another few of the company's friends for an organised photo shoot and drive into Grasse and to experience the Route Napoleon. We invited a few local photographers including Arnaud Taquet – who is worth a follow on Instagram – and UK car spotter and photographer Alex Penfold.
However, the real stars of the show were the two supercars we had with us courtesy of Hussein and Madjed, two Lovecars users and very close friends of the company.
The cars: the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and the Koenigsegg Agera RS.
We first took the cars to the local car wash, which certainly had the young lads who worked there a little flustered. They did a great job in cleaning them up, and we then moved out to meet our friends and join the route. The owners also let us put @Lovecars stickers all over the car which was a class touch.
These cars are INSANE!
In fact, so insane that we spent the next 6 hours tearing up the roads and taking some incredible pictures of the cars from the back of our G-Class with the beautiful French scenery behind us in the backdrop.
Again, a full write-up with images will be on our Lovecars blog soon, but here are some snaps I took on my iPhone to whet your appetite:
The next day, we were lucky enough to get up close and personal with the cars as the team shot another Facebook Live video review of each.
I'll be writing a post soon on Facebook Live, but from our early tests and results, engagement is crucial when it comes to the reach of the videos. Be sure to ask your viewers lots of questions that result in them typing a comment in the comment field on Facebook. In short:
The more people you can get to comment, the more people will see your video.
We planned to ask many questions in the Live session, and Paul did an amazing job in getting over a thousand comments in 10 minutes, which resulted in over 130,000 people being reached within an hour!
130,000 people in one hour…….Facebook Live is HOT!
The rest of the trip was focused on relaxing with our friends and discussing future plans, work and meet-ups!
I'd like to personally thank my business partner Paul for sorting everything out, my colleagues for ensuring the trip was unforgettable, and our incredible, incredible, incredible friends who let us have free rein on their cars. Also, here's a shout-out to Volvo for lending us the V60!
This trip was a big eye-opener and hugely inspirational for me. We're already planning the next takeover coming soon!
Until then, feedback is welcome, ask any questions, and be sure to sign up to Lovecars for all the latest news, footage and exclusive car access!

Lekhnath, Nepal--More than 50 women in Lekhnath came together on a grey, rainy day, despite their busy schedules to discuss the municipal budget. The look on their faces showed they meant business. They wanted involvement in the budget consultation meetings. So far, only men had been involved in such discussions. The women had come to demonstrate that they mattered just as much.
Every year, 10% of the municipal budget of the block grant is allocated to women in Nepal. The main purpose of the block grant is to target investment in women (10%), children (10%), the disadvantaged and the indigenous (15%) towards their development. However, the 10% entitlement does not always reach the women as intended. The Lekhnath women were simply unaware such allocation existed and thus, never had the chance to participate in the municipal budget consultations.
"We were not involved in any of the planning consultations. We did not even know about our own entitlements. Until we were informed by the Community Communication Centre (CCC) last year, we stayed inside our homes, without a clue about the budget specifically for women. We were missing out on the opportunity to develop ourselves but we won't let this happen anymore," says 50 year old social worker, Suk Kumari Bishwakarma.
Program for Accountability in Nepal
Community Communication Centre (CCC) implemented the project on the use of Social Accountability tool of Public Expenditure Tracking System (PETS) through the World Bank's Program for Accountability in Nepal (PRAN).
PRAN, since 2010, has been providing practical training, action learning and networking opportunities aimed at developing the capacity of civil society organizations such as CCC and government actors to promote social accountability in Nepal. It is hoped that the impact of these initiatives, over time, will be to promote more accountable, honest, transparent and responsive government agencies delivering quality public services. The program supports social accountability activities in three focal areas: public financial management, municipal governance and public service delivery.

I met this fully grown bald eagle and yes he's blind. It turns out this eagle and a few others were blinded by DDT poison and also by hunting arrows that were shot at them. Both situations were manmade which says so much about our society as a whole (i.e. we are flawed and or assholes for letting this happen…)
Here is a raccoon that was mistaken for abandoned by some stupid people that went and took him from his family while his parents were gone, foraging for food. Now he's is so 'human imprinted' that there is no way he would survive in the wild.
Here is an owl who was also blinded by man made pestisides.
Here are more blind eagles. I also saw a 3 legged black bear.
Thank goodness for the Moonridge Wild Animal Rescue Zoo. They do the important work that needs to be done to help these creatures we have in-effect maimed and or human imprinted. There are hundreds of these animals at this park that need our help.
Please support it here and or learn more about what the great people at Moonridge do and learn how you can support it….

Roof Installation Best Practice – How to guide for an asphalt shingle roof system
Understanding the correct roof installation technique for an asphalt shingle roof system is essential to the success and longevity of the roof. Following best practice's for the roof installation is also required to validate roof materials manufacturers warranty's. The following guide is provided as a reference only, refer to individual manufacturers guidelines for full details. Follow the procedures outlined below for a worry free roof and of course feel free to call our shingle roof experts for roof installation advice.
Rafters are spaced at 600mm centres and it is important to try to get as close to this as possible to avoid having to cut the sheets of plywood.
15mm A-Bond plywood is used for rafters at 900mm centres. The thicker plywood material provides additional strength to span further – as per Australian Plywood Standards.
There are a few simple things that need to be done before we can install our plywood base. We have to check that the entire roof is level. This is achieved by either using a straight edge or string lines. A tolerance of 5mm every 4000mm is acceptable. Unlike a tile roof or corrugated metal the flat appearance of the roof shingles will show any movement in the rafters.
We then noggin down the middle of the valley. This supports the plywood which prevents the underlay and roof shingles from moving causing it to tear and rip. A single noggin will suffice as long as the plywood materials can be nailed down from both sides.
We noggin the ridge 100mm back from the centre on both sides. This provides support for the ply, shingles, ridge ventilation and capping shingles (see below).
Ventilation of an asphalt shingle roof system is essential. We need to provide equal amounts of inlet ventilation and outlet ventilation. We achieve the inlet ventilation at the lowest point of the roof, just above the fascia. A 10mm air gap is created around the entire perimeter of the roof. The fascia will generally be lower than with other types of roofs materials and the gutter height needs to be adjusted accordingly. The outer edge of the gutter needs to be lower than the top of the fascia to avoid water entering the home (see below).
These photos show the detail of the fascia and barge's.
The asphalt roof shingle system is now ready to be installed. We use PAA branded "Australian made" A-bond plywood. To earn this certification the plywood has to conform to a number of specifications. The plywood is also backed by a manufacturers warranty. The plywood will be stamped with the following details:-
Manufacturers Brand or Name, The word 'Structural', face grade, back grade and bond, (e.g. CD-A Bond), Stress Grade, (e.g. F11 or F14), the Australian /New Zealand Standard AS/NZS2269 and the PAA/JAS-ANZ product certification brand stamp.
Look for this certification brand stamp to give yourself piece of mind. Imported plywood will generally arrive with a different moisture percentage. When this changes to local conditions the ply can de laminate, shrink and even twist and warp. We had to replace an entire roof years ago and you only want to do this once.
The plywood is installed with 70mm framing nails every 150mm along the rafters. The nails should be staggered between the vertical joins in the plywood. This is a "high wind zone" application. We use tongue and groove A-Bond structural plywood as this gives the base the strength that is needed for the other roof materials. The vertical join or short edge requires a 2mm gap between the sheets. This allows for any expansion in the timber. The tongue and groove should but together tight as the gap is machined into the ply during manufacture.
Clips do not provide sufficient support when joining plywood together. When you stand on clip joints the ply moves which will cause the system to fail
Felt underlay is then installed over the plywood base. Staples are used to hold this roof material into place only until the shingles are installed. On the vertical joins we overlap 100mm and on the horizontal overlap it it 50mm. On pitches below 18.5° we can use a double layer of the saturated felt underlay to manufacturers specifications.
On very low slopes (approx. between 8 – 14 degrees) adhesive backed rubberised membrane roof material is used. Armourguard is installed to protect from driving rain and also because the water does not flow off the roof quickly
The underlay is felt paper coated in asphalt saturant on either side.
- Underlay protects the roofing shingles from anything that is released from the plywood.
- Underlay provides a secondary barrier from wind driven rain.
- Most manufacturers of asphalt roof shingles require underlay to be installed to validate the manufacturers warranty
- Underlay can flatten out and irregularities in the ply cladding.
- Underlay is required to receive the ASTM E108 – Class A Fire rating on a fiber-glass shingle.
- The standard for the underlay material is ASTM D226 Type 1 No. 15 felt. It comes in both 15 pounds / inch or 30 pounds / inch
- See ARMA Form No. 219-RR-89 (1993) or CASMA Technical Bulletin No. 3 (1992) for more information.
The valleys are lined with a thick adhesive backed rubberised membrane roof material called Armourguard. This provides a fantastic waterproofing barrier, sealing around nails (see below).
We install a flashing which extends into the gutter called a "drip edge". The drip edge should run 40mm into the gutter from the outside edge of the fascia. It should also run up the roof around 100mm protecting the leading edge of the plywood material from water damage. Over years the plywood can rot if no drip edge is used.
Asphalt roof shingles are installed with 10mm wide head / ribbed shank galvanised clout nails.
Staples can not be used to install roof shingles as they can cut through the shingle and over time they tend to work their way out of the plywood cutting the roof shingle above.
Nails are recommended by the ARMA's (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association) as they hold down the roof shingle better. The points outlined below apply to IKO asphalt roof shingles (refer to manufacturers guidelines for other brands)
- Four nails per roof shingle minimum, six for "high wind zones"
- Nail position is just below the glue strip and above the cutout on the Marathon roof shingles and on the guide line on Laminated ranges.
- The clouts should be nailed as in the diagram above. Flush with the asphalt shingle.
- The clout should penetrate at least 2mm through the plywood as suggested by the ARMA.
- Ribbed shank nails are preferred as they have better holding strength.
See ARMA Form No. 221-RR-93 (1994) for full details.
A six nailing pattern (see below) is used in "high wind areas". On roofs above 60° shingles need to be manually glued down. A small 10 cent size dab of asphalt mastic on each corner of the shingle is required
Metal step flashing is used where the roof joins up to a vertical wall or penetration. For example a skylight, chimney or air conditioning unit. The metal step is nailed over each course of asphalt shingles guiding any water out onto the main roof. This flashing is then covered by the wall cladding.
The Velux range of skylights can be ordered with a step flashing kit for use with roof shingles. Ask for thew EDL step flashing kit when you order.
Probably the most important installation consideration is proper ventilation. The amount of ventilation needed is determined by the size and design of the roof. For attic spaces above an insulated ceiling, the vent ratio is one square meter of net free ventilating area/300 square meters. For low slope roofs or cathedral ceilings the vent ratio is one square meter/150 square meters.
Our premium ridge ventilation is used for the exhaust ventilation. The natural effect of the hot air rising pushes it out through at the highest point in the roof. Also a venturi effect is created where the outside wind pulls the air from the roof. Box vents are not adequate as they don't provide enough net vent area. A typical sized roof would need 20+ box vents which is unrealistic and very ugly.
The picture below shows what can happen if some of the manufacturers requirements are not followed. You can see where the ply has rotted and the roof shingles have deteriorated. This was mainly caused by the roof had no roof ventilation installed. The bathroom exhaust was vented directly into the closed roof space causing moisture to build up and rot the plywood.
Roof ventilation performs a number of important tasks in an asphalt shingle roof system.
- It keeps the air temperature in the roof at +/- 10° of the outside air temperature
- Condensation can occur on the inside of the ply deck due to the difference in the air temperatures in the roof and outside. Ventilation will stop this from occurring saving your roof and insulation from being damaged.
- Prevents the plywood from moving due to moisture buildup
- Also stops the ply from rotting.
- The proper use of roof ventilation will add years to the life of your roof.
- Some manufacturers will void the warranty is the recommended roof ventilation is not followed.
More details on the importance of roof ventilation can be seen in the articles below.
See ARMA Form No. 209-RR-86 (1994) or CASMA Technical Bulletin No. 1 (1992)for more detailed information.
We use a premium ridge vent called Trimline. It provides good exhaust ventilation and has a nice low profile appearance.
In some hip roof designs there is little to no ridge for roof ventilation. In these situations we can use a solar powered electric vent (see below) These solar vents are brilliant at pulling the hot air from the roof during the day. When the sun goes down the vent stops running and leaves some of the heat in the roof space. One solar powered roof vent is equivalent to 12 "whirlybird" roof ventilators.
A lot to take in and understand I know but it pays to have this knowledge to build the best possible asphalt roof shingle system available that will protect your home for many years to come.

Uber has more than doubled its war chest and its valuation in six months, despite what the driver-hailing service's chief called "significant growing pains".
Investors looked past Uber's recent controversies over its handling of competitors, the press and users' privacy to give it a huge $40bn valuation as it announced the completion of a $1.2bn funding round on Thursday.
That figure makes Uber not only one of the world's most valuable private companies but exceeds the market capitalisation of several publicly listed transport companies, including Delta Air Lines, American Airlines and United Continental, as well as several times the value of traditional car rental servicesHertz and Avis.
Uber's price tag also exceeds the market capitalisation of Twitter and LinkedIn, and is closing in on Yahoo's $48bn valuation, highlighting the trend for Silicon Valley companies to raise more money privately in order to avoid the public scrutiny of a stock market listing.
Its latest funding round follows the $1.2bn that the five-year-old company raised in June at a $17bn valuation, and leaves the door open to hundreds of millions of dollars more in "strategic" investment.
In a blog post confirming the new equity sale, which the FT first revealed last month, Uber's chief executive Travis Kalanick pitched a vision of the company's ride-sharing service creating over 1m jobs next year, replacing car ownership and easing congestion.
But he also acknowledged its recent turmoil, including a suggestion from an executive that it launch a smear campaign against critical reporters and a letter from US Senator Al Franken challenging how it manages data about customers' rides.
"We have just raised a financing round of $1.2bn, with additional capacity remaining for strategic investments," Mr Kalanick wrote, specifying that Asia Pacific would be a focus for deploying the capital.
Uber's latest funding comes just a day after Japan's SoftBank invested $250m into its Malaysian rival GrabTaxi. SoftBank also led a $210m investment into Uber's main competitor in India, Ola.
This kind of growth has also come with significant growing pains- Travis Kalanick, Uber CEO
San Francisco-based Uber has now raised more than $2.6bn since August last year, over which time its valuation has skyrocketed from $3.5bn to $40bn. Despite repeated clashes with regulators around the world, it now operates in more than 250 cities in 50 countries.
In recent weeks, however, it has faced legal threats in regions as disperse as Nevada, Toronto, India and Vietnam, despite a promise by Mr Kalanick that Uber would strike a more sensitive tone.
"This kind of growth has also come with significant growing pains," Mr Kalanick said in Thursday's blog post, apparently referring to its latest self-inflicted wounds. "The events of the recent weeks have shown us that we also need to invest in internal growth and change. Acknowledging mistakes and learning from them are the first steps."
Uber has hired law firm Hogan Lovells to run an internal audit of its data privacy policies and practices, and said it would respond to Sen Franken this month. Done right, its changes would make Uber "a smarter and more humble company", Mr Kalanick said.
A spokesperson confirmed the $40bn valuation but declined to name the investors providing the new financing. Uber's existing backers include Google Ventures, BlackRock, TPG, Benchmark and Goldman Sachs, which is also working on a separate debt financing round with private clients.

There is a real trend towards lifestyle changes – 'Tree change' and 'Sea change' as people seek a more relaxed lifestyle, out of the cities. Australia's range of diverse landscapes from coast to country and beach to bush means there is plenty of great travel options and we are lucky that most are within short distances from home or a quick flight away. As an eternal holiday planner myself I love to do my own research, but we don't always have the time to search through endless reviews restaurant and hotel reviews. If you are planning a holiday or mini break, maybe romantic rendezvous in the Hunter Valley, cosy weekend in the Blue Mountains, or a few weeks cruising the coast in Margaret River, then keep reading.
Forever in search of hidden gems, uncovering unique travel experiences and the feeling that you have found the real local hotspots I was delighted to discover the Whileaway Travel Guides written by two lovely Sydneysiders Kitty Spry and Jess Grinter.
"Focusing on uncovering 'not to be missed' gems in regional areas, and celebrating all of the wonderful experiences to be had in our own Aussie backyard. All of the hard work has been done for you, you just need to pack your bags and jump in the car or on a plane"
Kitty and Jess have been great friends for many years and have always shared a love of travel and discovery. After both living overseas, they realised how much they loved to get out and about to visit our surrounds on weekends, but never quite sure where to start looking and seriously short of time to plan. So after a few glasses of Rose the Whileaway concept was born. A shared sense of adventure and eternal curiosity of new places to escape "we were always being asked by friends for tips on places to go, see and savour, why not package it up and put it in print for all to enjoy?" And so lucky for us they did! Inspired to look outside our major cities into the more rural regions the girls have chosen regions that had a unique and varied range of offerings to the experience seeker all within short distances from home. They also needed to provide an easy 'mini-break' from a large city or commercial airport to encourage busy locals and overseas guests to venture out and explore.
Loaded with great tips on things to see, explore, eat, drink and places to stay, Whileaway Guides are all independently sourced, tried and tested so you know that they only include the notable gems – no boring bits! What I love about these lovely little guides is that the info is displayed in an itinerary style and grouped by location so it's easy to navigate from one place to the next, great if you love to plan ahead and full of cute little illustrative maps to help you find your way. If you are a history nut like me and love to remember all the great places you have visited there is also a little place for you to write notes of your favourite eats, reads and loves along the way - your favourite cafe, the name of the vintage vino or secluded beach. Designed to be loved and treasured you can keep the guides as a little memento of your precious experiences in a neat, convenient and cute little journal.
I love that these little pocket guides will not eat into your travel budget - less than $10, so you can buy ahead, start planning and then collect them as a special memory of your experiences. The pastel 'gelato' colour palette representing each Australian state is reflective of vintage flavours and compliments the uncoated paper the guides are printed on. All you need to do now is choose your destination and create your own adventure...and off you go!
Here is a taste of what you might find in the Whileaway Guides……some of Jess and Kitty's favourite places to visit
- Garaistes (Hobart, Tasmania) – ups-the-ante with unusual culinary delights. One for the foodies.
- Tarrawarra Estate (Yarra Valley, Victoria) – spectacular architectural masterpiece set within winery. Great food with view across the rolling hills. When you are finished, have a walk around the onsite art gallery.
- Spirit House (Maleny, Sunshine Coast) – The night-time ambiance of a rainforest dining experience.
- Nautilus –Port Douglas, Far North Queensland. The chilli Margarita is sublime.
- White Rabbit Brewery - Yarra Valley Victoria). Coolness and relaxation at its best.
- Salthouse – (Cairns and surrounds, Queensland). Located on the marina, when the sun goes down, the tunes are turned up for a lively atmosphere.

Chief Justice John Roberts is a sanctimonious jackalope. Oh, I'm sorry. Am I in contempt of court? The Supreme Court is deserving of the most supreme contempt for their recent ruling opening the floodgates of unlimited corporate cash into the political system. As if it weren't bad enough already, with a dozen lobbyists for every legislator in Congress, now the richest corporations can simply buy congressional seats and slip their personal lackeys directly into the office. This bypasses all that pesky business about representative democracy and allows the financial markets to speak. Welcome to the United Corporate States of America, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Peoples' Republic of China.
The court's decision, in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, passed on a 5-4 vote along strictly partisan lines, showing what 20 years worth of Reagan-Bush appointees will get you: judges so "business friendly" they are willing to protect corporate expenditures against the peoples' right to hold free and fair elections.
The First Amendment has long protected the corporation as an "individual" with all the same rights of free speech as a real human, hence that quaint colloquialism "corporate citizen." But this is the first time the court has interpreted "speech" to mean "money." The verdict overrules two precedents restricting campaign spending by corporations and unions, including the McCain-Feingold Campaign Reform Act, and states that limiting corporate spending in advocating for a candidate is "governmental regulation of political speech." The explosion that followed the decision was the sound of champagne corks popping all over K Street in Washington and Madison Avenue in New York.
Among the many legitimate philosophical differences between conservatives and liberals, there is one issue that we can all agree on: The most corrosive and dangerous element in our presently polarized politics is not the filibuster or attack ads or even partisanship. It's money. Cash corrupts the process more than any malfunctioning voting machine, and it creates false perceptions among voters about their candidates. I'll own up to being as gullible as the next guy after being totally fooled by the John Edwards presidential campaign. It's easy for an advertiser to portray a scoundrel as a loving family man if the participants are in on the scam. What's to prevent the NRA, or the health insurance lobby, or Wall Street banks and brokerage firms from hiring Oliver Stone to produce campaign commercials that make Super Bowl ads look like QVC? We'll find out soon enough, in 2012, when we begin electing our public officials, from court clerk to president, like we're voting for the Video Music Awards.
Even after this onerous decision, the "Father Knows Best" automaton known as John Roberts had the temerity to bristle at the criticism that followed, especially from the president during his State of the Union address. Roberts told University of Alabama law students that the president's speech had turned into a "political pep rally," as if that's not what the State of the Union address already is, and wondered if it was appropriate for the justices to even be there. This pomposity comes from a man who might not even be on the court if George W. Bush had succeeded in getting his gushing groupie, Harriet Miers, confirmed. Roberts was up for the seat of Sandra Day O'Connor when William Rhenquist, for whom Roberts served as law clerk, up and croaked, making the new justice not merely another conservative appointee but the leader of the "Roberts Five": Johnny, Sam, Tony, Anton, and Clarence. The conservatives always rail against "activist judges" who "legislate from the bench," until they become the majority and then that's exactly what they do. Campaign contributions are not the same thing as corporate funding. One is free speech; the other is free speech through an expensive megaphone.
Years ago, people of a certain age will remember that leaving Memphis heading north, it was necessary to cross over the Wolf River. The waterway was then the repository for the city's raw sewage, and the odor was so god-awful, it was like a barroom bathroom after a rough weekend. Thanks to advanced filtration technologies and citizen groups like the Wolf River Conservancy, the river today, if not pristine, is a far cleaner place. Such is the current state of our public election system — somewhat polluted but generally passable and reasonably dependable. However, what the Roberts court has done is to remove all the necessary filtering devices and allow the sewage to flow unchecked back into the mainstream of the body politic, and it will take years to reverse the course of the sludge that's rolling in like a special-interest tsunami.
A famous jurist once said in regard to the landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision that desegregated the public schools: "The court in that case, of course, overruled a prior decision. I don't think that constitutes judicial activism because, obviously, if the decision is wrong, it should be overruled. That's not activism. That's applying the law correctly." That judge's name was John Roberts, who turned out to be just another self-important, middle-aged white dude in a black robe.

Collection of statements on Palestine and Israel from the Hansard record of the Australian Federal Parliament.
1 December 2015, Senate, Senator Lee Rhiannon (Greens, NSW) – spoke in support of International Year of Solidarity for Palestinian People
"Today, 138 nations recognise Palestine as a state with the rights and responsibility accorded to all other states. It is time that Australia added its name to this important list. It is time for this Senate, I believe, to call on the Turnbull government to recognise Palestine as a state".
30 November 2015, Senate Estimates: Senator Abetz MP (Lib, Tas) & Senator Dastyari (ALP, NSW) – discussing reporting from ABC Middle East Correspondent
Mr Scott: fundamentally I think Ms McNeill is doing a good job in a difficult story under extraordinary scrutiny. This reporter is, based on my experience at the ABC, under more scrutiny than any other foreign correspondent reporting from any part of the world has ever been. I think she deserves a fair go and I think she deserves to be judged on the quality of her reporting.
30 November 2015, House of Representatives: Maria Vamvakinou MP (ALP, VIC) – moved a Motion calling on the Government to include Palestinian refugees from Syria in any future intake of refugees from Syria.
"It is therefore necessary for the Australian government to respond accordingly, by including PRS in any future intakes of refugees from Syria to Australia, and by waiving the condition of a UNHCR certificate or referral for PRS as a prerequisite for application to Australia as candidates for humanitarian protection. It is the fair and right thing to do for a people who could be rendered stateless."
30 November 2015, House of Representatives: Melissa Parke MP (ALP, WA) – seconded the Motion moved by Maria Vamvakinou MP.
"As the motion notes, as refugees registered with UNRWA and not UNHCR, the Palestine refugees are not being considered as part of Australia's intake of 12,000 refugees from the Syrian conflict. …Australia has an important role to play, financially and diplomatically in supporting UNRWA's work and global efforts to achieve political settlements, in both the Israel-Palestine conflict and the Syrian conflict. We can also assist some of the most vulnerable people affected by these conflicts by taking them in as refugees."
30 November 2015, House of Representatives: Chris Hayes MP (ALP, NSW) – spoke in support of the Motion moved by Maria Vamvakinous MP.
"I call on the government to work with the UNHCR to process registrations of Palestinians fleeing Syria, so that they can at least be entitled to apply to the Australian government for the possibility of being resettled as part of the additional 12,000 refugee places being earmarked for Syrian refugees."
30 November 2015, House of Representatives: Jill Hall MP (ALP, NSW)– spoke in support of the Motion moved by Maria Vamvakinous MP.
"These applications from Palestinians are not being rejected because they are not refugees. It is not because these people have not been subjected to the same horrendous violence as other refugees who have been assessed by UNHCR. It is not that; it is purely a technicality".
26 November 2015, House of Representatives: Andrew Wilkie MP (Ind., TAS) – spoke about "rethinking our approach" to Palestine after tabling a public petition concerning the Australian aid budget.
"Palestine is another area where we need to rethink our approach, because the situation for the Palestinian people is inarguably dire as Israel continues to illegally development settlements in Palestinian territory. Former Foreign Minister Bob Carr has acknowledged that these settlements are not legal, but the current government will not even do that. What Australia must do is recognise the need for a Palestinian state and condemn Israel's illegal acts of settlement and violence. It is alarming that too many of our political leaders appear to be beholden to Israeli interests at the expense of the Palestinian people."
26 November 2015, Senate: Senator Dean Smith (Lib., WA) – while speaking to a Motion concerning Syria and Iraq, commented on the situation in Israel and Palestine.
"What has been occurring recently, with the campaign of incitement to violence and the murder of Israeli citizens at the hands of terrorists, offends every value that decent Australians hold dear. …To those Australians who think that what is happening in Israel or Paris is a long way away and does not affect them, I simply point out that the values for which Israel and France both stand—personal freedoms and democracy above all else—are also the values for which Australia stands and which Australians have fought and died to protect for generations."
25 November 2015, Senate: Motion calling on Australian Government to initiate a FREE TRADE AGREEMENT WITH ISRAEL
Senator Bob Day (FF, SA) – moves the Motion for an FTA with Israel.
Senator Scott Ryan (Lib., VIC) – speaks in favour of the Motion
> See also questions/discussion around the Motion, with Senator Arthur Sinodinos (Lib., NSW) speaking in favour and Senator Penny Wong (ALP, SA) interjecting.
23 November 2015, House of Representatives: Tabling of a public petition calling for recognition of the State of Palestine, signed by 10 citizens.
9 November 2015, House of Representatives: Anthony Albanese MP (ALP, NSW) – speech on the retirement of former Treasurer, Joe Hockey MP (Lib., NSW), noting Hockey's family heritage in Bethlehem, Palestine.
9 November 2015, House of Representatives: Tabling of a public petition calling for recognition of the State of Palestine, signed by 1009 citizens.
9 November 2015, House of Representatives: Christopher Pyne MP (Lib., SA) – hints at Australia learning to become an "agile and nimble economy" similar to Israel.
"The Assistant Minister for Innovation has just returned from Israel , where he met with people to see how they have become an agile and nimble economy. That is what we intend to bring about in this country over the coming years—an agile and nimble, optimistic and forward-looking economy, not the bleak view of the opposition and not the negativity, bleakness and the dark cloud of the opposition over the Australian economy. We are future looking. We are new politics; Labor is old politics."
22 October 2015, House of Representatives: Michael Danby MP (ALP, VIC) – statement regarding the upsurge of violence in Palestine and Israel.
"In the last few weeks, young Palestinian jihadis have engaged in apparently lone wolf stabbing attacks against mainly Israeli civilians. …But I, and many people around Australia, have been particularly upset by comments from the member for Fremantle, who has stood up in this parliament and blamed the victim. In what kind of moral universe is it legitimate, understandable or okay to knife and stab innocent civilians, run them over with cars or shoot them in bus stations?"
[Note: Reference is to Melissa Parke MP (ALP, WA), the Member for Fremantle.]
22 October 2015, House of Representatives: Mark Dreyfus MP (ALP, VIC) – statement regarding the upsurge of violence in Palestine and Israel.
"…whatever the grievances of the Palestinians, indiscriminate murder will never be a legitimate form of political protest. …This latest violence reinforces that we must continue to support a lasting resolution of the conflict, based on the right of Israel to live in peace within secure borders internationally recognised and agreed by the parties and on the realisation of the right of the Palestinian people to also live in peace and security within their own state of Palestine, a state based on the 1967 borders with mutually agreed land swaps. There is no other course."
19 October 2015, House of Representatives: Michael Sukkar MP (Lib., VIC) – statement addressing the upsurge of violence in Palestine and Israel, in particular reported extreme statements by a Palestinian cleric in Gaza and by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
"In times of trauma and crisis such as this, it is imperative that opinion makers, be they journalists or politicians, speak the truth and demonstrate moral clarity. Those who seek to justify the deaths of innocent Israelis by blaming them on settlements or events in «Gaza» should be utterly ashamed of themselves."
19 October 2015, House of Representatives: Adam Bandt MP (Greens, VIC) – statement commending John Salisbury's 10-day, 300km walk from Sydney to Canberra to deliver a petition calling on Australia to recognise the State of Palestine at the UN.
"Today I support the call for Australia to formally recognise Palestinian statehood. …Australia is falling behind the rest of the world in our refusal to seek a pathway to peace through the recognition of a Palestinian state."
15 October 2015, House of Representatives: Melissa Parke MP (ALP, WA) – statement noting John Salisbury's 10-day, 300km walk from Sydney to Canberra to deliver a petition calling on Australia to recognise the State of Palestine at the UN.
"[It is in Australia's interest] that the brutal decades-long Israeli military occupation be brought to an end and that Palestinians have their own state at long last."
14 October 2015, Senate: Senator Lee Rhiannon (Greens, NSW) – speech commending John Salisbury's 10-day, 300km walk from Sydney to Canberra to deliver a petition calling on Australia to recognise the State of Palestine at the UN.
"The Australia Palestine Advocacy Network in conjunction with Roy Morgan research found 57 per cent of Australian respondents thought that Australia should vote 'yes' in the UN to recognising Palestine . Just eight per cent thought that Australia should vote against. …There is no military solution to the security needs of Israelis and Palestinians. An end to this conflict requires a diplomatic solution."
15 September 2015, House of Representatives: Laurie Ferguson MP (ALP, NSW) – statement referring to the Gaza Strip, treatment of Palestinian children in Israeli military detention and the uprooting of olive trees.
"I put on the record continuing concern at the treatment of the Palestinian people. It is of course internationally leading to a wider criticism of the methods being utilised on an international scale, and I commend these issues to the House."

"It's great to be an official club partner," Andrew said.
"I came to my first ever game at Highfield Road aged three and had to stand on a beer crate to watch the action!
"Obviously the club has provided me with so many emotional moments, none more so than the 87 Cup final and beating Manchester United at Old Trafford!
"So to be a partner with my team, who I have been a Season Ticket holder for over 15-years with, is really special.
"While it's a great situation to be partnered with the club, it has be mutually beneficial for us both and I really believe it is a good move for both the consultancy and the football club.
"This season has started well and as a fan and now a club partner, we hope it continues for a long time!"

Many people experience abdominal swelling but are unsure what causes abdominal swelling. Most of the time, people may think that the abdominal swelling is normal and they would just ignore it without knowing that it was brought about by an underlying disease condition. It is important to know the proper cause of the abdominal swelling so that you will be able to identify the proper treatment method that you should use.
Knowing More About Abdominal Swelling
Abdominal Swelling is also known as abdominal distention or bloating and is described as the unusual enlargement of the abdomen, particularly the area that can be found right between the groin region and the chest. Most of the important organs of the body can be found in the abdomen and any swelling of this region can be attributed to some sort of abnormalities and dysfunctions of the organs within it.
Some of the organs that are found in the abdomen are the stomach, liver, intestines, gall bladder and pancreas. Abdominal swelling or bloating can vary depending upon its severity. Usually, the swelling can range from just mild to severe distention that may already affect the normal activities of the person involved. Once the abdominal distention becomes severe, chances are, the person's breathing will already be affected.
There are a lot of causes that can be attributed to abdominal distention aside from a mere increase in fat deposits in the body. Some of these causes can already be alarming and may signal an impending dangerous disease. Here are some of the most well-known causes of abdominal swelling.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
One of the most common causes of abdominal swelling is Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Irritable Bowel Syndrome is also known as spastic colon or IBS. One of the characteristic symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, aside from abdominal pain, is none other than abdominal bloating.
The occurrence of Irritable Bowel Syndrome is often associated with infection or even stressful situations in life. It is said that after a gastrointestinal infection, there is an observed increased incidence of the development of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Abdominal swelling or bloating in Irritable Bowel Syndrome is described as a feeling of discomfort and fullness related to constipation and incomplete evacuation of waste products or tenesmus.
One of the most well-known causes of abdominal distention is ascites. Ascites is described as the collection of excessive fluid in the abdominal cavity brought about by a lot of different factors. Ascites is also known as hydroperitoneum, or peritoneal fluid excess.
One of the major conditions that may lead to the development of ascites is cancer, primarily cancer involving the liver or what is known as cirrhosis. Ascites can be diagnosed by means of physical examination together with laboratory tests and scans that will confirm the presence of excess fluid in the abdominal cavity.
There are several types of ascites, depending upon the severity. There are actually three grades of ascites and each one has its own description regarding the condition of the abdomen. Grade 1 Ascites is described as mild and it can only be seen by means of a CT scan or even via ultrasound. Grade 2 Ascites is described as a slightly detectable abdominal bloating with some bulging of the flan area together with shifting dullness upon percussion. Lastly, Grade 3 Ascites is described as a highly noticeable bulging of the abdomen together with what is known as the fluid thrill.
One of the most obvious causes of abdominal swelling is pregnancy, which is only applicable in women of course. Pregnancy is defined as the development of an embryo into a fetus inside the uterus of a woman. Pregnancy is known to last for 9 months or 36 to 40 weeks as the child continuously develops inside the uterus. This abdominal swelling associated with this condition is all normal. Pregnancy can be confirmed by means of several tests and even by means of ultrasound through which the contents of the abdomen and the uterus are clearly visualized and observed.
Bowel Obstruction
Another one of the most common causes of swelling of the abdomen is known as bowel obstruction. Bowel obstruction is a condition wherein the normal functioning of the digestion and bowel elimination is impaired because of a blockage or obstruction. When this happens, the bowel contents are not eliminated regularly and they will simply end up accumulating inside the intestines, thus making it bulge and eventually cause swelling of the abdomen.
The blockage or obstruction is often related to a tumor or simply a foreign object that has been some lodged in the intestines. Once bowel obstruction is detected, it is important to seek proper medical attention so that the normal digestion and bowel movement will be restored Having a bowel obstruction can provide a very uncomfortable feeling in a person and it can cause some dangerous threats to the overall health of the person involved. Not being able to maintain a normal bowel movement can definitely predispose a person to have infection and even other kinds of gastrointestinal diseases.
Hookworm Infection
Hookworm infection can also be considered as one of the main causes of the development of abdominal swelling or bloating. Hookworms are known nematodes that are parasitic in nature and are usually found inside the small intestine of the host. Some of the most common species of hookworms that infect humans are the Necator americanus and the Ancylostoma duodenale.
These species can be found widely distributed in different parts of the world and are known to affect a great part of the population. Hookworm infection is definitely known to cause intestinal inflammation together with anemia. The intestinal inflammation will lead to the development of abdominal swelling together with ascites or accumulation of excessive fluid in the abdominal cavity.
These are some of the most common causes of abdominal swelling and it is vital for people to become aware of such symptoms so that they will know how to deal with such conditions espeically if they suspect the reason for the distension to be pathological.

This simple age-defying pill will prove it to you quickly and naturally!
Why is it that we age a bit faster every day? Why do our wrinkles get deeper and deeper? Why do we get tired quicker than before? Why do we have difficulty seeing? Why does osteoarthritis impair our joints? The answer is: a lack of Collagen.
After the age of 30 our body stops producing Collagen. Worse, at 50, our Collagen supply is diminished by 50%. Without Collagen, our health really hangs by a thread… But with Colla-G you can replenish your Collagen supply.
If you're not completely satisfied with the results during your trial simply ask for a complete refund (less Shipping & Handling).
I'm 87 years old and my friend's say I look like I'm 60. I have little pain, and I walk 2 miles each day to attend my bridge tournaments. It wouldn't be possible without Colla-G.
Now I can move and get around just like I used to. It's so nice to buy a product and have it do as advertised!
I'm sleeping more soundly, and my skin is incredibly soft since starting Colla-G. I no longer have any pain and I can definitely say that I love this product!
This product has made my face smother and not so old looking.
It has definitely helped me with my joint pain. I can walk greater distances without any discomfort!
