The Australian poet Robert Adamson's self-confessed obsession with birds has taken many forms. His autobiography recalls the pigeons and rainbow lorikeets he kept during childhood as "a refuge", and the mixed-up motives leading to his first delinquent act (among many), the theft of a rare riflebird from Taronga Zoo. Shelley's skylark and Hopkins's windhover were his initial poetic inspirations, while the birdlife and landscape of his home territory, the Hawkesbury River in New South Wales, have given him fabulous subject matter over more than three decades. His Reading the River: Selected poems culminates in a rich sequence of recent work observing birds both real and metaphorical: parrots ("their colours ink for a new language"), kites, the dollarbird, gang gang cockatoos, rednecked avocets, and rainbow bee-eaters "turning on axles of air; / each crescent beak / delicately coloured, / a scissor-powered talis". In his typically Romantic vein, these birds become symbols of imagination and memory. But Adamson also has a wry humour, summoning up another bird out of his past:
The skua flew into our heads in 1968 –
a new kind of poetry, a scavenging predator. . .
Although the skua breeds on Black Mountain
it is migratory and dispersive, its call
a series of low quacks and thin whinnying squeals.
("The Southern Skua")
Having embraced American pop culture from an early age and later enjoying friendships with Robert Creeley and Robert Duncan, Adamson was a key figure during turbulent years for Australian poetry from the late 1960s onwards, editing the Poetry Society's magazine for fifteen years, after a power struggle between conservative nationalism and modernism, and renaming it New Poetry. Achieved by stacking meetings with his newly enrolled supporters, the victory of the "Generation of '68" meant the painful deposing of the President of the Society, his mentor Roland Robinson who angrily threw The New American Poetry at him, shouting "here's your Donald Duck Allen from Hollywood!". Adamson has, however, turned out to be far more than an Aussie Black Mountaineer, and more Bob Dylan than Bob Creeley. His work shows plenty of nervous tension and a Creeleyesque thinking about love and intimacy, but these are outdoors poems, formally loose and emotionally expansive. He has plenty of other American affinities, with Robert Lowell, and with James Wright, the poet of the Ohio River, whom he read while attending Sydney University workshops run by David Malouf; and his life story of anguished family and sexual relationships, spells in prison, alcoholism, drugs and alienation, and an eventual creative solution to his problems, inevitably brings Charles Bukowski to mind.
Never one to pass on self-dramatization, Adamson refers to "the several levels of hell" he had to descend and negotiate in order to write his autobiography. Inside Out is a survivor's tale, simply and evocatively written, with some truly horrible episodes. He grew up near Sydney, increasingly disturbed: trips on the river with his grandfather took turns with stealing cars; after a car crash his girl passenger had her leg amputated. On the run with his first love Carol, he messily killed a lamb for food and collected a jail sentence for under-age "carnal knowledge". In prison he suffered a double rape and protectively adopted a transsexual role; after punishments and self-mutilation he was straitjacketed in darkness within the notorious "Black Peter" solitary confinement cell. In extremis, he managed to read a page (perhaps too aptly) from the Book of Revelation: "I'd been stripped of everything, even my name, but I still had language, I still had a voice . . . Then it occurred to me that, given my situation, this was a black joke."
Adamson's salvation through poetry began with work in the prison library, encouragement from a Jesuit priest, and his discovery of The Ilex Tree by Geofiey Lehmann and Les Murray. The fist successful poem he wrote while still in jail, "Jerusalem Bay", is reprinted as an appendix, but its homage to Hopkins and Shelley gave way on his release to passions for Rimbaud and Bob Dylan. Moving to Balmain with like-minded writers such as Michael Dransfield, Tim Thorne, Vicki Viidikas and Robyn Ravlich, and the painter Brett Whiteley ("who could afford better quality smack"), he experienced the full effect of the "derangement of the senses" through drugs. He has survived to elegize a number of his friends, as in "Sonnets for Robert Duncan", and addressed a series of verse letters to them in Mulberry Leaves (2001), including James McAuley and Tom Raworth. Reading the River takes up his story where the memoir leaves off, with the publication of Canticles on the Skin (1970), and contains extracts from twelve subsequent collections. Its first poem is written as a youthful ex-con: "I've looked around every inch / of the jail & dug my own groove in yellow / sandstone, & searched without sleep / & searched again / back on the street in the rain – searched for / some kind of rebel angel, / some kind of law".
Adamson began to move towards maturity in Swamp Riddles (1974) and Cross the Border (1977), with outstanding poems such as "The shining incidents" with its ghostly visions of night parrots and crabs, and "Dead Horse Bay" capturing the adrenalin rush of fishing:
blood rising
to the jumping cords,
ice-packs over bad burns
and the catfish venom,
rock salt against gut-slime
. . . When the bream are running
like that, nothing can touch you
and everything matters.
Where I Come From (1979) exorcized some of his family conflicts, and Wards of the State (1990) came to terms with his prison experiences (also fictionalized in Zimmer's Essay). His most recent collections seem his most assured, especially Black Water: Approaching Zukofsky (1999), the bird poems achieving a marvellous exactness of description as well as paying tribute to his poetic masters. Now turned sixty, the former "rebel angel", drug-taker and alcoholic has mellowed into a kind of Gilbert White of the Hawkesbury River area, concerned for its conservation. Having come through so much, Adamson addresses his wife, the photographer Juno Gemes, who supplies the cover's sunset image of Mooney Creek, in "Flannel Flowers for Juno":
The sounds of the river are softened
while you carry the rest of the world in your head
And I empty myself of memories one
word at a time.

SCIENCE - Scientists show future events decide what happens in the past
"A future event causes the photon to decide its past."
Cause and effect appear to be reversed.
Time went backwards.
Andrew Truscott researcher scientists at the Australian National University said in a press release that they have proven that "reality does not exist if you are not looking at it."
An experiment by Australian scientists has proven that what happens to particles in the past is only decided when they are observed and measured in the future. Until such time, reality is just an abstraction.
Particles can also tunnel through solid objects, which should normally be impenetrable barriers, like a ghost passing through a wall. And now scientists have proven that, what is happening to a particle now, isn't governed by what has happened to it in the past, but by what state it is in the future – effectively meaning that, at a subatomic level, time can go backwards.
Einstein called it "spooky" and Niels Bohr, a pioneer of quantum theory once said: "if quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet."
Australia's New.com.au explains,
"Photons are weird. You can see the effect yourself when shining a light through two narrow slots. The light behaves both like a particle, going through each slot and casting direct light on the wall behind it — and like a wave, generating an interference pattern resulting in more than two stripes of light." a particle lacks definite physical properties and is defined only by the probabilities of it being in different states, it exists in a suspended state, a sort of super-animation until it is actually observed, at which point, it takes on the form of either a particle or wave, while still having the properties of both.
"What makes a photon decide when to be one or the other?"
When a photon wave/particle is observed, it collapses, so it wasn't possible to see it in both states at once. Thus, it isn't possible to measure both the position of a particle and its momentum at the same time.
The Australian scientists set up an experiment similar to the double-slit one to try to estimate when particles took on a particle or wave form, but instead of using light, they applied helium atoms, which are "heavier" than light photons, in the sense that photons have no mass, whereas atoms do.
"Quantum physics predictions about interference seem odd enough when applied to light, which seems more like a wave, but to have done the experiment with atoms, which are complicated things that have mass and interact with electric fields and so on, adds to the weirdness."the atom passed through it on many paths in a wave form, whether it continued as a particle or changed into a wave wasn't decided until a future event had already taken place. Time went backwards. Cause and effect appear to be reversed. The future caused the past. The arrow of time seemed to work in reverse.The decisive point when its form was decided was when the quantum event was observed and measured. Whatever would take place existed in a suspended state, the atom had not yet "decided" what to do.'

Save hundreds on your power bills by changing to energy efficient lighting
27 November 2015
Money's tight. Everything seems more expensive this year than last, the bills keep rolling in and it's a challenge for families with kids. Given these pressures, households are making the move to energy-efficient lighting and saving themselves hundreds of dollars a year, every year.
Did you know the average Australian household* spends around $2,000 a year on energy and that lighting contributes up to a third of this cost**? That's a whopping $650 for the average household just to light a home!
Improved technology leads to cheaper globes and reduced consumption
The cost of purchasing energy-efficient LED bulbs has tumbled in the past two years and the technology behind them has improved immensely.
This means that the average household could slash 60-80% from their lighting consumption costs, bringing it down to around $150-$250 a year (from $650), by replacing older-style incandescent and halogen globes with energy efficient lighting such as LED and compact fluorescent lighting (CFLs).
With such savings now a reality for individuals and businesses, we've researched the steps required to keep more money in our pocket and give less to the power companies.
"Shaving 30% off your annual power bill is only the beginning of the good news" according to Michelle Alexander at Laser Electrical in Karinie Street, Swan Hill.
"LED globes last around 50 times longer than incandescent globes and 15 times longer than halogen so you also save a lot of money in maintenance costs by not having to replace them as often. This saves you money (repurchasing) and time (reinstalling) and becomes a very important consideration for businesses with policies that only permit an electrician to change a globe" she adds.
For example, 10 Halogen downlights will cost around $176 a year to run (based on 23 cents/kwh). The equivalent cost of 10 LED downlights running for the same time is only $50 a year. That's an annual saving of $126 on just 10 lights! Many houses built in the past 20 years might have 25-30 downlights, so real annual savings will be closer to $378 without factoring in additional savings for other light fittings (desk, bedside and free-standing lighting)!
Insert annual savings table
While the savings are there to be had, the range of options and technical jargon are not for the faint hearted, so seeking guidance from a professional at a lighting shop makes a lot of sense, however tempting the prices at a supermarket or big-box retailer.
It also goes without saying that energy-efficient lighting adds to the value of a property for sale.
Knowing your colours
- Warm white – a relaxing light (similar glow to incandescent and halogen) well suited to use in the lounge, bedrooms or outside the house.
- Cool white – a neutral colouring suited to kitchens, bathrooms and study areas.
- Daylight – crisp, clean and really bright, even a bit "blueish" you might expect inside a hospital or above a jewellery display cabinet.
Michelle's buying advice
- It's important to note that due to the higher cost of purchasing LED bulbs compared with incandescent ($1 a bulb at a supermarket) and halogen ($10), the payback is around 18 months (the point when the money saved in electricity is greater than the once-off cost of fitting)
- Be careful not to buy narrow beam downlights for a general living area where lights should have more "spread" (wider beam).
- Consider what each room is used for and how bright it needs to be. That will help determine the colour (warm, cool, daylight) and level of brightness (Lumens) required.
- Savings are not restricted to downlights; anywhere there is an incandescent or halogen globe savings can be made with LED (for example, desk and bedside lamps)
- Check the LED globe is compatible with existing transformer (if low voltage downlights) before purchasing.
- If there is a variation in cost of light bulbs, apply the "you get what you pay for" rule.
- If building a new house, consider timer sensors for lighting in rooms you don't use very often.
- With many variables going into selecting the correct lighting for each fitting for each room, always consult a professional in a lighting shop. While numerous retailers sell lights, only a lighting shop has in-depth knowledge (versus generalist knowledge) and can help you avoid costly mistakes.
- Check the warranty before making purchases. Laser Electrical, for example, offer up to 5 years' warranty on downlights.
It's all in the numbers
- The lower the watts, the lower your energy consumption (and power bills)
- The higher the lumens, the brighter the light
The final word
"There's a lot of information to take in and the technology is changing rapidly. If you don't know where to start, or have a tight budget, start with the room you use the most. But it makes a lot of financial sense to start the move now" concludes Michelle.

Registration for the 2018-19 season is open.
The following seminars have been scheduled. Pre-registration via usahockey.com is required. Seating is limited.
Seminar Date
August 19, 2018
Newington Ice Arena, Newington, CT
Levels 1-3
September 9, 2018
Shelton Rinks, Shelton, CT
September 10, 2018
Level 3 ONLY
September 24, 2018
Trinity College, Hartford, CT
Level 4 ONLY
October 28, 2018
Canterbury School, New Milford, CT
November 5, 2018
November 11, 2018
Level 1 & 2 ONLY
Additional Level 4 seminars in New England:
September 5, 2018 in Auburn, ME
October 20, 2018 in White River Junction, VT
New Level 1 Officials: Bring player's skates, a whistle (preferably a finger whistle), and a hockey helmet. Standard hockey official whistles are the Acme Thunderer and the Fox 40. A half shield or visor is recommended if you have one. Goalkeeper's skates do not enable the agility required by an ice-hockey official and will make the on-ice drills very difficult. If you only have a full cage, you may wear it, but good luck blowing your whistle. Yes, the on-ice drills do involve blowing a whistle. Fear not though, you will not be the first camper to wear a full cage. The instructors will know what to do. Shorts are never appropriate for on-ice activities and are a particular pet peeve of both the CT Referee-in-Chief and the New England District Referee-in-Chief.
Returning Level 1 Officials: Bring all of your on-ice gear.
Level 2 Officials: Bring all of your on-ice gear.
Level 3 Officials: The Level 3 sessions as scheduled do not include ice time, so no gear is necessary.
Level 4 Officials: You will be taking a skating test, so bring all of your on-ice gear.
No one will be allowed on the ice at any level without a hockey helmet. No exceptions. Shinpads and elbow pads are recommended because, well . . . ice is hard.
Campers should bring the necessary on-ice equipment (see above), attention, enthusiasm, a willingness to participate, and something to take notes with.
In a word, no. There is a lot of content presented during the seminar and we are on strict timelines with regard to ice sessions. Arriving late or leaving early will mean you miss out on content. We are only asking for six (four for levels 3 and 4) hours of your time once per season. All the instructors are volunteers and give up much more than six hours to educate the campers. Please show them the respect they deserve and show up on time and leave at the end. Please don't put the CT Referee-in-Chief in the awkward position of saying No by asking to leave early. Nobody is happy about that answer. If you cannot attend the full session, please contact the
The first topic will start promptly at the scheduled start time, so please give yourself enough time to check in, locate the class, pick out the most awesome seat available, and settle in. Thirty minutes prior would be a good time to shoot for.
Ice times vary by seminar. We try to cover topics such as icing and offsides in the classroom before we do the on-ice instruction for those subjects, so there is a good chance you will have at least an hour in the class before heading to the ice. The level 1 class is usually the most highly attended. We will run the class as one group and if the group is big enough, will split into two groups. One group will remain in class and the other group will hit the ice. The groups will then switch. Each group will get the same training. The groups will reunite as one to complete the day.
No, although they are welcome to do so. If there is room, and they want to learn about the game from a different perspective, they can "audit" the class that their child is attending. If space is at a premium, we will ask parents to give way to the registered campers and wait in a different area (or leave, if they so desire). Level 1 and 2 seminars are six hours and usually run 9am-3pm. Level 3 seminars are four hours and usually run 9am-1pm. The last 30 mins are for Q&A, wrap-up, and attendance (Level 1) and closed book testing (Level 2 & 3), so there is a possibility that the campers may be dismissed a bit early. Parents, try to be back to pick up your young camper 30 mins before the scheduled end time. Level 4 seminars are on an entirely different schedule. Contact the
We're not monsters - we will stay with your young camper until someone arrives to retrieve them. If you arrive more than 20 mins after the scheduled end time, a Dunkin' Donuts caramel swirl coffee with skim and sugar will make the CT Referee-in-Chief much happier.
No. You may bring food from home to eat during a break or hit the rink snack bar.
Other than money you might want to bring for food and drink, there is no additional cost. The registration fees that you paid while registering with USA Hockey covers the cost of the seminar.

Some readers have mentioned their frustration in getting a "fine" or notice of breach of contract after parking their vehicles at various parking venues in Melbourne. These parking areas are run by private operators, for example, ACE car parking services which manage parking areas. In the example was given, i.e., ACE car parking, the breach of contract notices which are an electronic ticket that looks like a regular council issued fine from a handheld device were issued by what appears to be one of ACE car parking's divisions – CPCS or Car Park Compliance Services Pty Ltd.
ACE car parking services manage car parking at venues such as Tullamarine airport and other places around Melbourne including spots next to hospitals such as at Sunshine Hospital. There have not been complaints about the airport car parking incidents where fines are issued and would be interested to hear to update this posts if any readers have been issued fines for breach of contract for Melbourne airport car parks.
Example: Readers have been issued what appears to be council issued tickets for an infringement known as a breach of contract (more on this later) for being as little as 10 minutes late after a morning appointment at the Sunshine Hospital adjacent.
It seems that the "parking inspectors" are extremely diligent in their jobs, however, given this case example being next to hospital you can understand people being just a little over in time whether it be the person's medical condition or the walk back from the hospital to the car parking area. Patients can suffer delays in the appointment itself at the Sunshine Hospital.
I know these later examples are unrelated to the car parking company itself and are the individuals responsibility, but you can also gather that there is a lot of frustration out there from the clientele that is parking mainly to attend the hospital. One would think that the car parking management company would provide some allowance and not be so quick (in under 10 minutes) to issue an infringement notice. These notices are for breach of contract in the order of $66 (rising to $88) for what is a $2-3 hour car park (of which under 10 minutes of time was over parked 30c – 50c loss if a time/cost basis was taken into account.
Other people identified hotspots such as parking at the jam factory multilevel car park just off Chapel Street in Prahran, Melbourne and fines issued by a company called Care Park Pty Ltd (you can read more in the whirlpool discussion link at the end of this post).
Searching Google revealed that the Victorian courts have been clogged by private car parking companies that have once called their infringements fines and now calling them a breach of contract in 2015. As a result of many cases going for courts followed up by debt collectors and harassing people who have had tickets placed on the windows, the Victorian government has increased the privacy of VicRoads licencing information. The changes have made it not possible for the car parking companies to find out who the vehicle owners are and the address from vehicle ownership record searches in Victoria.
Here are some leads (were publicly available on Google ) if you receive one of these breaches of contract notices on your window when parking at a venue like Melbourne airport or Sunshine Hospital or any other ACE car parking facility in and around Melbourne/Victoria.
NOTE: We are not solicitors OR legal specialists in this area of law, this article is not about giving legal advice and have just made a referral to websites that have far more technical and professional experience in this matter. This article is general in nature and follows complaints made by this site and monitoring of online media about the practice of private car parks in Melbourne issuing a breach of contract notices or fines.
The first place to look at is called consumer action law centre website. The article was written in July 2014, and there have been some updates since then in 2015 Victorian government about this practice. The key points then were that car parks cannot 'fine' consumers in this perhaps prompted changes in the legislation effective 26 August 2015 which name and address of the vehicle owners from the Vic roads database. Without the name and address details issue a demand for payment.
Some other companies such as ACE manage car parking spaces were issuing fines of $66 rising to $88 if unpaid by a period of 14 days. This website reported that consumers ignoring the payment were then followed up by the company's solicitors with a further action such as court action threatened and the sum rising to the region of around $300. At that time of writing in 2014, the website noted that there was no statutory authority to issue fines.
What course of action can you take this?
Consumer response suggested the options are.. do nothing. From 26 August 2015, there will be restrictions on the amount of data available to the car parking companies. Car parking operators will not be able to obtain your ownership details from VicRoads like they did in the past unless they apply to the magistrates court.
Consumer action also suggested that you can write to the company and if you were not the driver when the fine was alleged to include you can disclose a driver and identify the driver at the time.
If you want to get on the front foot, you can issue proceedings in VCAT.
REMEMBER, if the 'fine' was incurred after 26 August 2015, the company will be unable to get your contact details from the VicRoads registration database. It cannot demand payment or sue you unless it has these details. That was the consensus at the time of writing, but we suggest you make your enquiries online to see if things have changed and seek professional legal advice.
The other thing is that this unpaid demand for payment will not appear on any creditors report which is usually found about debt matters as this is what is termed a breach of contract.
A well-known solicitor in Melbourne was quoted as saying the damages being sought far exceeds the parking fee being lost for parking over time which is around two or three dollars per hour to park the vehicle say at an open area car park, but the sum demanded for damages is $66 – $88 and, therefore, was an exorbitant in relation to the actual damages incurred by the operator for I guess loss of earnings, for allegedly the driver of the vehicle breaching the contract.
Another website to look at is the consumer affairs website in Victoria this one here.
A forum thread worth checking out is on whirlpool which discussed the Jam Factory car parking incident.
Images above – front of a ticket received at an ACE run car parking lot in Melbourne, Back of ticket – from car park compliance services Pty Ltd Melbourne VIC.
Update on the 'ticket' pictured – I contacted the reader that raised the issue regarding a ticket from an ACE car-park, and this was four months ago now. The notice was never paid, and the person concerned has not heard a thing from ACE car parking.

Date story was published: Sunday, January 13, 1991
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Poise. Smarts. Execution. Clutch performances.
Gobbling momentum as the season unfolds, Kentucky had it all last night in a 78-74 gut-check victory at Tennessee.
The Wildcats, winners of seven straight, also had a bit of good fortune.
Allan Houston, Tennessee's all-Southeastern Conference guard, had the ball in his hands needing a three-pointer to tie it at 77. A trey from Houston, the SEC's second most prolific three-point shooter (3.2 per game, on average) meant overtime. He had only to maneuver by Jamal Mashburn, a talented freshman but, it figured, no match for Houston in the open court.
"Since he's a guard and I'm a forward, I thought, 'please pass the ball,' " Mashburn said. "And, sure enough, he did."
Houston, the game's high scorer with 20 points, passed to fellow guard Lang Wiseman for an uncontested three-point attempt from the left wing.
"It's the kind of shot you want," said Wiseman, who got free off a pick. "Everything worked. The shot just didn't go in."
The ball went in and out, foiling a strategy concocted during a Tennessee timeout with 26 seconds left.
"That was the shot we wanted," Tennessee Coach Wade Houston said, "because people are using different combination defenses on Allan in that situation. I assumed Kentucky would, too. Although it wasn't a combination defense, he'd have to shoot over a taller player as opposed to Lang with a wide-open shot. And that's just what we got. It just didn't go in."
Fouled on the rebound, Reggie Hanson shook off a poor free-throw shooting night (seven of 14) to hit a clinching free throw with 10 seconds left.
So, never mind Hanson's earlier misses.
Never mind Mashburn on Houston.
"It was bad," point guard Sean Woods said of the Mashburn-Houston matchup, "but we won the game. So it didn't matter."
Kentucky Coach Rick Pitino embraced the victory -- the Cats' 12th in 14 games and fourth without a loss in the SEC.
"We really needed a game like this on the road: close and tight," Pitino said. "It makes you stronger. You don't let the crowd take over. This is the type of adversity you need to become an even stronger team."
Most pleasing, he said, was Kentucky's execution at crunch time.
"At the offensive end, we executed down the stretch as well as you can," Pitino said. "We made all the right plays offensively in the last two minutes."
Pitino considered Tennessee dangerous coming off a 108-68 loss at Vanderbilt last Tuesday.
"They really played super basketball," Pitino said. "Looking at the film, they had been quick-shooting and not executing. Tonight, they executed the best as any team has against us in the half-court."
UK just executed a little better, said Wade Houston, visibly relieved despite the loss.
"We're a better team than we've shown recently," Houston said. "This was no fluke tonight, believe me. It wasn't a case of us being so psyched up for Kentucky."
Three full days of practice made a big difference for his inexperienced team (four sophomore starters), Houston said. It marked the Vols' first extended practice period since early December.
In a flashback to UK's morale victories of a year ago, Tennessee could live with this defeat, its fifth straight and ninth in 15 games. The Vols fell to 0-4 in the SEC for the first time since the 1960-61 season.
"Winning or losing wasn't our measuring stick tonight," Wiseman said. "Just playing hard and giving a good show was."
For most of the game, three or fewer points separated the teams. UK led by seven once, 75-68, with 3:56 left. Tennessee's largest lead came five minutes earlier at 65-60.
"The credit goes to Rick and the Kentucky team," the Tennessee coach said. "They got the big baskets when they had to. They got the big rebounds when they had to. And they did what they had to do to win the game."
John Pelphrey got a few of both. Pelphrey air-balled the game's first field-goal attempt, a three-pointer on a set play off the opening tap. But Pelphrey hit three three-pointers in the second half.
As for big rebounds, Pelphrey tipped his own miss in the lane to Mashburn so UK, ahead 75-74, could keep possession inside the final minute.
Woods, a 60-percent free thrower, made Pelphrey's tip pay off. Woods made two free throws with 32 seconds left to give Kentucky a 77-74 lead.
Wiseman's miss secured the victory.
Though far from flawless in the first 20 minutes, Tennessee showed in the first half it had forgotten the 40-point debacle at Vanderbilt earlier in the week.
The Vols rode Houston's 13 first-half points to stay close. Kentucky led 44-42 at intermission after a half that saw nine ties and four lead changes.
Houston scored 10 of his points in the final 11 minutes. Two of his baskets gave Tennessee its largest first-half leads. An open 15-footer (Woods, defending, slipped) gave the Vols a 27-25 lead.
The other two-point Tennessee lead showed how much the Vols depend on Houston. He had to save a tipped pass, then work one-on-one past Pelphrey to hit a contested baseline jumper to give the Vols a 29-27 lead.
Throughout, neither team yielded.
UK took its largest lead, 75-68, on a Hanson three-point play with 3:56 left. The Cats did not score another basket, but survived with big plays.
"It shows what a difference a year makes," Hanson said of Kentucky's survivability. "We learned a lot last year as far as how to play on the road."
The key, Hanson said, is "keeping your poise. You've got to play a lot smarter and a lot harder on the road."

I just spent 8 fabulous days in Peabody, Kansas, population my sis, her husband and son, and a few hundred other people. Took the dogs, who enjoyed one day of running on the green Kansas grass in sunny, 50* temperatures before it snowed, and snowed and, yeah, snowed some more.
Nephew Michael graciously walked Ricky a few times so I could concentrate on the true meaning of the season — playing Scrabble and stuffing my gob. And I did have a few Scrabble high points: I broke 300 points in one game, used all 7 letters another time, and beat big sis "all 7 letters on a triple word score" Linda several times. Of course, her game was a bit off. One evening, I beat her, Michael beat her, husband Leroy beat her, and the dogs were getting ready to challenge her * when she called it quits. She did rally, though, and in our last game used all seven letters to spell "beanery," putting the "Y" on the end of "snuff." There may have been a double or triple word score involved, too — my recollection is unclear due to envy and shame. I didn't even break 100 in that game. It was clearly time to come home.
Presents were exchanged as well. The amount of gifting was perfect — enough to say "it's a special day and I love you" but considerably less than "I hit the mall with my Mastercard and emerged from a daze driving down the parkway with a crapload of pointless gifts and 6 months of debt." Linda received enough knitting supplies to keep a normal person happy for a few years and the average knitter satisfied for a couple of months. I received some wonderful knitting stuff too, and music, and organic chocolate, and much lovely miscellaneous. Leroy got hiking boots and hummingbird feeders, which makes him sound a lot more granola-y than he really is.**
Even the dogs got gifted. Well, their first gift was Linda and, especially, Leroy*** allowing them to come and stay for a week or so. They'd even bought Ricky a big doggy pillow, which Violet immediately staked out. Michael, however, did that one better. He bought Violet a bag of rawhide treats, which Ricky may share if Violet, who is a greedy bitch, doesn't find out. Ricky got a high-tech shower nozzle/bath system, because Michael thinks it's funny that Ricky rolls in things like deer entrails.***** And for Zeke, being boarded at the vet in Storm Lake, Michael wrapped up a very special chunk of coal with a tag that read, "Hey Zeke — bite this." Because it was Christmas, he refrained from adding "you little green bastard," which has been his pet name for Zeke ever since the bloody index finger incident of '05.
So here I am, home again on New Year's Eve. I *still* have a few bags to unpack. I've done the laundry, though, and restocked and de-smelled the fridge (note: birdie veggie mix with broccoli does not do well left for 8 days), given the kitties some love and picked up Zeke this morning from the vet.****** I'm going to make some navy bean and ham soup later, read a novel, nap with the dogs, walk them, and read some more. Chocolate (organic/free trade) and chips and dip may be involved. I expect to be peacefully asleep long before midnight.
A happy, peaceful 2008 to all.
*Ricky is confident that a spelled-out beagle yodel — awbarowowowooo — would handily (pawsidly?) win the game.
**Actually, he's not granola-y at all. He's more oatmeal-y. Instant oatmeal, quick and economical. The man votes Republican, for heaven's sake.
***Leroy believes dogs should live outside in warm kennels to which they retire after they've flushed some pheasants or retrieved some ducks or, at the very least, had the decency to crap on the neighbor's lawn and not his.****
****He was sighted, however, patting Violet's head. Unlike Ricky, who is at least of working dog stock, Violet's only purpose in life is to be cute and to refrain (mostly) from peeing in the house. But it was Christmas, after all.
*****Happened in early December. I was too traumatized to blog about it.
******He tells me he was terribly abused and unloved for 8 days, but I know they gave him fresh apple and the vet himself brought him leftover turkey. They even rigged up a set of vicegrips to keep his little sleep tent attached to the top of the cage, despite Zeke's efforts to throw it on the floor. All this for $5 a day and all the blood Zeke can extract from their fingers as they feed him and change his water. I love my vet's office.

The 2015 Mitsubishi Triton/Strada pickup made its global debut today in Thailand. According to the Japanese automaker, the 2015 Triton was developed to be the 'Ultimate Sport Utility Truck' that combines a comfortable interior of a car along with the performance and reliability of a pickup.
Taking cues from the GR-HEV that originally debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, its exterior was designed to look muscular, sleek and dynamic. Its front-end features an all-new grill and a new headlight design with LED lights integrated. The side of the car has curvaceous lines while the rear displays distinctive taillights. It is available in Single Cab, Double Cab and Club Cab variants.
No details were given by Mitsubishi about the interior but from the images given, some of the higher-end models will be fitted with a 7-inch infotainment display. It even has a rotary control for the drive system that is located at the center between the front seats.
Powering the 2015 Triton pickup are a range of engines which include a 2.4-liter gasoline engine that 128 PS and 194 Nm of torque, a new 2.4-liter MIVEC turbo diesel engine that is rated at 181 PS and 430 Nm of torque and two 2.5 turbo diesel engines that crank out 128 PS with 240 Nm and 178 PS with 400 Nm of torque. Transmission options are either a 5- or 6-speed manual and a 5-speed automatic gearbox.

The West Coast DHB offers all the diversity, challenge and boundary blurring of practicing rural medicine. Rural Hospital Medicine is a relatively new specialty in New Zealand. It specialises in developing the generalist skills needed for small provincial and rural hospitals. You get a fantastic opportunity to practice a breadth of medical skills.
Our General Practitionersprovide high quality primary care services from 13 different locations (the WCDHB own 4 general practices with a number of rural clinics on the Coast). The DHB's ownership of primary care services has allowed it to begin to develop true interdisciplinary teams in primary care and to integrate traditional general practice services with community services and, in some cases, inpatient care. There is also an option to work across both primary care and the hospitalsetting – developing an even broader range of medical knowledge.
Of course we welcome specialists too! We have close links with the Canterbury DHB as part of a trans-alpine health service. The Coast leads the way nationally reducing isolation through the better use of technology - video-conferencing is used in managing patients as well as providing medical education and collegial support.
"We may be small – but good things come in small packages, and we are linked to a bigger team" says Carol Atmore, Chief Medical Officer, West Coast DHB. "Our partnership with Canterbury DHB (the second largest DHB in NZ) gives support, professional development and you can have planned time in Christchurch to maintain your sub-specialty interest".
It is an exciting time to be working on the Coast – with new facilities planned, the development of integrated family health centres and moving towards truly being a patient centred health service – we are always looking at how we can improve service provision in a rural setting.
You are part of the community and are truly appreciated for contributing to the overall wellness of the community.
We have strong links with the University of Otagothrough the Rural Medical Immersion Programme, and are involved in regional (South Island wide) initiatives like the oncology specialist multidisciplinary meeting - a regular videoconference involving a range of health professionals with expertise in the diagnosis and management of cancer.

The Ridge
Updated: January 3, 2007
Posted: August 15, 2006
It's been very
quiet since the original announcement. The web site that had appeared
has since disappeared. A friend of mine was in the area over Christmas
time and took some photos. Here's one taken from the south end of
the property. It shows no activity at all.
Original Article:
On August 11,
the Chatham Daily News ran a story about racing returning to The
Ridge Raceway. The Ridge has been a ghost track since 1995.
The article was
posted in the discussion
section of The Ridge Raceway Ghost Track page.
Nathan Trudell recently purchased the property that the remains
of The Ridge Raceway sit on. He plans to open the track in the spring
of 2007 under the slightly modified name of Ridgeview Raceway. Ridgeview
will be racing on Friday nights and will run similiar classes as
nearby South Buxton Raceway (which runs Saturday nights): UMP Super
Late Models, UMP Modifieds, Limited Late Models, Comp 4 and Pure
Stocks. Ridgeview will also be the home track for Ontario Dirt Late
Model Series.
Trudell will take ownership of the property on September 1 and will
get to work levelling the hill on the south side of the track to
build a new pit area. All the other facilities will have to be built
as well: grandstands, walls, fencing, concessions, washrooms, etc.
The track website is already up: http://www.ridgeviewspeedway.com.

Hospitals are funny places. Your whole world shrinks into several square metres, restricted by the length of tubes and monitoring cables and structured around observations, doctors visits and medicine intervals. You can easily lose track of time, and become oblivious to what's going on in the outside world.
How do you avoid going stir crazy? For us we've tried to go for a walk when Hannah's asleep or someone is with her. Here are some of the things we've found on our travels…
Hannah is steadily improving. It's wonderful to see her wanting to sit up, chew on things and watch people again. And the smiling! Oh the smiling. The nurses seem quite smitten with her when she flashes them her cute open-mouthed smiles. She's now fully breastfeeding too. These are great answers to prayer. However, she still doesn't like taking her medications so her has NG tube remains. Once her virus goes and her throat feels better I think we'll be on the home stretch.
Please give thanks for…
- Hannah's continued improvement
- Her smiles and the joy they bring
- Comfort and certainty we have in Jesus
Please pray for…
- Wisdom working out what causes Hannah pain or discomfort
- Her throat to heal and be rid of the virus
- Rest and refreshment for us
But I trust in your unfailing love, my heart rejoices in your salvation. – Psalm 13:5

No comment about this specific distribution, but about specific reviews:
* Usage advice, tips and tricks, etc. belong in cpanforum.com or annocpan.org
* Bug reports belong in rt.cpan.org
If there are quirks that make it hard to use, or bugs, then they are certainly worth mentioning in the review. But the gorey details belong in appropriate forums, not reviews.

This module has so much promise - there is nothing else like it for perl at the moment. It's still a little rough for now, but is already such a time saver (looking forward to the improving https support).
BTW, the article is at www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/06/04/recorde...
Read the article on www.perl.com about it and tried to configure.
Installed well on both Linux and Windows machines, but not make it work on either one. This module definitely need a more clear documentation.
This is SO cleaver - it will definatly make me write more of this sort of test - and more tests are always good!
We are also using it to write tests for our monitoring system.
As the docs say it doesn't do JavaScript yet - which is why I rated it 4 not 5.

Print Media V.S. The Zombies
In 1997, when Time Magazine picked Johannes Guttenberg's printing press as the most important invention of the second millenium AD, it wasn't just a nod towards the magazine's progenitor, but rather homage paid to a machine that made free thought truly free. That being said, coming in a close second to the printing press is the internet. If the printing press made the diffusion of information and ideas quick and inexpensive, the internet made such content omnipresent. Up until the advent of the internet, seeking out specific information had been a process, while now one would have to make a conscious effort to remove oneself from the constant barrage of immediately available electronic media content. Wherever we go we find ourselves pursued by games to play, videos to watch, friends to add, and apps to use. In fact, it would not be so ostentatious to claim that the current mediums of electronic communication are very much like zombies.
Yes, zombies. Wireless and other electronic sources of information are in a constant state of growth as consumers increasingly seek faster, easier, and cheaper ways to read news, communicate ideas, and entertain one another. In many ways, these new mediums of communication are quite useful. Craigslist and Ebay have both effectively created a central location for any need that would have previously been fragmented through a hodgepodge of local or national newspapers and magazines. Websites for businesses, schools, and public services can answer a variety of questions efficiently and at a moment's notice. That is to say that electronic media can be a convenient suppliment, but it should not by any means stand alone. Now, every major newspaper and magazine now has an online portal, and many of these publications are expanding their online content as more and more readers shy away from purchasing hardcopy and advertisers pull out from hardcopy sponsorships. Entire books are now downloaded onto Amazon's "Kindle" e-book. Everyday new websites appear offering services that previously necessitated the use of printed media. Furthermore, the proliferation of the smart phone has given birth to the app, making it possible to access news, music, and other media anytime and from anywhere you can make a phone call from. The spread of new communication technologies is in epidemic proportions.
Much the same are zombies. Constantly expanding their population by biting humans, where people are balanced, rational, and coherent, zombies care nothing for the content of life, only about their growth in numbers. Where a publication may have once provided a wealth of information in hard print, the bite of declining profits dictates a new way of life. The nature of this new life is also part of the issue at hand. The speed and abundace of electronic media render critical thought and rumination hard to come by. There is always something new to consume which leaves little time for the gentle contemplation needed to really understand all aspects of a given matter. In addition, the influx of demand for immediately consumable content has led to a major loss of intellectual sophistication of said content. Hard-hitting journalism is much a thing of the past and is being replaced by a style rife with opinion and personal accounts. Popular music and video entertainment continue to lose artistic complexity due to an apathetic consumer base and the increase in user generated content. In essence, the forms of electronic media are becoming increasingly mindless.
Now, one can't discuss the proverbial changing of the guard without the idea of the "soul" coming into the mix. For example, classic blues or rock or jazz have soul. Classic and single speed bikes have more soul than the multi-speed perfomance bikes of today. Classic cars have more soul than the cheaply assembled models currently on the road. These are very familiar statements, and are such only because there is a grain of truth in the argument, somewhere. The idea of these things being more soulful by nature stems from them feeling more solid or organic or having more thought put into the creation process in some way, which in essence are all qualities related to an object's sense of permanence. That is precisely what gives an object its soul: permanence. A thoughtful and laborious creation process using simple and solid materials (or ideas) ensures a long lasting and useful final product that will, over its lifetime, connect with many owners and mean something different to each one. A book can be dog-eared, written in, traded, sold, or rest on a bookshelf for years. A newspaper can block the rain or sun, be folded, have a crossword filled out, and eventually clean up your dog's shit. The soulless quality of the quickly produced good comes from the lack of its ability to connect with a person. Its ephemeral nature prevents these bonds from forming because it wasn't meant to be bonded with. It is meant to be consumed and then discarded. Though a piece of news or music or art in itself can have meaning, when presented through such media it cannot have the same resonance with a person as it would being presented through a more substantial means.
That leaves hordes of laptops, phones, and music players switched on day and night, blank screens waiting with supernatural patience for a face to appear in front of them. There they are on the bus, sitting in a pocket or a purse, these soulless devices waiting to be pulled out and used as soon as the bus stops. They are sitting on the counter in the middle of the night, so that when you walk down the street and pass by each window, you can see the faint static glow of a screen waiting, just waiting. Before you know it your toilet paper will go digital. Print media, however, can't and won't submit to the demands of the masses of mindless and soulless media zombies. There must be a place, a haven if you will, for local and thoughtful media content to have it's say in print. A place for the soft fluttering sound of the pages turning. A place for the thick black ink to sink in like blood and take root and make its home. That's what we're here for. We vow to hold out, to fortify ourselves against the mob of brain eating, uncoordinated parasites to give you quality content and still make it to bed sometime before dawn.

"The Fog" by Chris Teare
About four in the afternoon or so is when the fog started rolling over the hills of the peninsula, at first just sending out whispy fingers that crept down the east side of the slopes. It was as ifit were hesitant to commit, feeling its way along slowly and nervously before gaining momentum and finally sprawling over the lower lands like rumpled flannel sheets. Up along the few mile stretch of beach there were no hills to stand in its way and it began to crawl freely between the perfect square blocks of drab one and two story houses. The fog came more often than not, yet was not always expected. One might look up at the dwindling sunlight to see the thick cords of vapor tightening across the city's skyline and feel surprise, if only for a second, before turning away and thinking "I guess it's gonna be foggy today."
That day the fog came in especially heavy so that instead of resting at a distance above the city, it was within, oozing down from the rooftops and through the alleyways. It was so thick it seemed to be holding all of the buildings up and in place. It was so thick each person was like an island unto himself, occasionally brushing past one another, but able to walk freely in anonymity.
A young couple, fingers loosely clinging together, walked down past the Haight Street housing project. They were both dressed simply yet stylishly in thick wool coats, black leather shoes, and scarves that burst from the collar. They talked loudly and comfortably but there was a snap to their step that brought their heels down sharply against the sidewalk. As they were crossing Webster they heard sirens suddenly, as if popping through the fog once close enough to hear. As quickly as it had come it vanished, the ambulance becoming nothing more than faint red strobes in the milky cloud.
They kept going down Haight and didn't see the figure standing there, halfway down the block, teetering a bit from foot to foot. He had on a black knit beenie rolled up part of the way and dark ratty braids dangled down from under it. His skin was as black as the beanie and where it was once smooth and tight along his strong cheekbones it now hung worn and wrinkled. He wore an overcoat a few sizes too big, open all the way down, and a red Christmas sweater with a photo of an Asian child dressed in a Santa Claus outfit printed across the front. He stood there in the fog, an island reaking of crack, and the couple didn't notice until they almost ran into him.
"…I just don't understand, this is the time when the third world is hit the hardest," the young man was explaining, "with all the developed countries' governments pulling back on aid and energy prices going up how can we expect them to build lasting stability…"
"HEY! Wanna know three times a hundred and twenty seven?" the tattered man interrupted.
"Three eighty one! How about a dollar?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I don't have any," the young woman said as they both slapped their pockets and shuffled slowly past him.
"How about twenty three squared? Five twenty nine! I'm like a calculator. How about a dollar a figure?"
"Uhh." They looked at each other quickly and then down at the sidewalk as they continued up the street.
"Okay, fine, two for one! How 'bout it?"
But they were already past him, his words struggling after them through the fog until they were too far and they were alone again. After a few blocks they stopped to look at the menu outside a small Indian restaurant. Content to keep searching, they walked on down the block until they were lost in the milky haze.


text: Orphans Flora and Ruby are moving in with Min, their maternal grandmother. Min lives in 350-year-old Camden Falls, Mass., a town filled with all sorts of people who are ready to embrace the girls. Min's friendly sewing-and-needlepoint shop is the heart of the girls' new world. Camden Falls, with its row houses, quirky characters and strong, level-headed women is almost a character itself. For such a small town, there is a dizzying array of folks: an older boy with Down's Syndrome, an abused girl, a woman with Alzheimer's, a forgetful elderly black man, a shoplifter, a cranky shop owner and a girl who lives with her widowed father. Girls who have outgrown Cynthia Rylant's Cobble Street Cousins will find the same familiar sense of community here, and they will forgive the saccharine tone, especially when the narrator slips into the second-person voice. They will long to know how the girls fare in fourth and sixth grade and will be able to find out soon: The second in the series arrives in August just in time for school. (Fiction. 8-12)

Usain Bolt won the men's 200m final last night — his second of three possible golds — and proclaimed himself the greatest, in a league with Muhammad Ali and Pele. And who can argue? Bolt won with a time of 19.78, while Canada's Andre De Grasse took silver and France's Christophe Lemaitre grabbed bronze. He'll race for the 4x100m gold tonight at 9:35 p.m. ET. In the meantime, check out this very excited fan:

After being disqualified for dropping the baton in a heat, the U.S. women's 4x100 relay team successfully protested the decision. (A Brazilian runner made contact with Allyson Felix during the handoff, which caused the drop.) Since they already missed the semi-finals, however, they had to run one of their own — with no one else on the track. To qualify for the finals they beat China's eighth-place finish:

1923 news archive: "The Mono Twp Centennial Picnic held at Mono Centre on Monday was a huge success. An immense crowd attended the affair, estimates of the attendance ranging from 2,500 to 3,000 people. A number of races for the boys and girls and a comedy performance were sandwiched in between baseball matches and addresses and kept every minute of the afternoon fully occupied."
On Sunday, June 4, Mono Township hopes to echo the success of that summer day in 1923, as organizers work hard to bring Mono residents past and present together in celebration of Canada's 150th birthday with excellent entertainment and activities to keep picnickers "fully occupied."
Guests will be greeted by red and white decorations and volunteers in red and white cowboy hats as they enter the grounds of Mono Community Centre June 4th. Canadian flags will be flying and everyone is "encouraged to show their Canadian pride by wearing red and white, or a period costume."
Local historian, and former Curator of the Dufferin County Museum and Archives, Wayne Townsend will be emcee for the event which kicks off at 11 am with the first performance of "Doc Century's Magical Traveling Medicine Show."
Thrill to the old time medicine magic and wizardry as Doc "cures what ails ya" with magic and laughter for the whole family as he invites the "townsfolk" to test the power of his potions, lotions and tonics.
Doc Century is not quite as old as Canada, but he is celebrating 20 years of "pedalling" his magic show for audiences right across the province.
Guests will want to make sure to arrive at the picnic before noon for the official entrance of "Queen Victoria" who will be welcomed by Dufferin-Caledon MP David Tilson, MPP Sylvia Jones, and Mono Twp Mayor Laura Ryan.
An opportunity for families, and even pets, to take a photo with Queen Victoria will follow her arrival. "Lady Margaret" will be on hand to help quests with the "royal" protocol.
For music lovers, Tradition, a talented group of area musicians led by fiddler David Aspenlieder, will present a variety of vocal and instrumental tunes bordering on Country in the main hall (accessible to all).
"Tradition is not as much a band name as it is a commitment to keeping the music and dance traditions of years past alive," says Mr. Aspenlieder.
He says square dances will also be on the bill, which will be chosen to best suit an inexperienced audience.
"It is all about having fun."
Tradition musicians include David Aspenlieder – violin/viola and MC, Janice McGinn – violinist, Ginny Pletts – vocalist, Rod MacMillan – guitarist and vocalist, Carol Beatty – violinist, Murray Irwin – vocalist and guitarist, Ruth Irwin – vocalist and guitarist, Diane Stewart – vocalist and guitarist, Rudy Di Nova – vocalist, guitarist and fiddle player, Ed Elliotson – square dance caller and musician.
On the gazebo stage, guests will find the Dufferin Circle of Storytellers, led by Dick Byford. This old time oral tradition, where the storyteller tells from memory and not from a book, will bring three different stories to life incorporating humorous accounts of life in Dufferin County.
Mono 150 Committee member Debbi Goss says the organizers understand that families are busy, "so we have scheduled performances to make sure no one misses a thing – there will be three different "Doc Century" magic shows and three story sessions, as well as two music and dance sessions.
In addition to the entertainers, old time games will be featured throughout the day.
Three legged races, sack races, egg and spoon relays, hula hoops, and croquet, will run continuously all day. There will also be a craft area and the popular "strikers" for both adults and kids.
History buffs, and those new to Mono, will appreciate the photos and historical implements of local history at the mini-museum next to the Community Centre – open anytime for drop-in from 2 pm to 4 pm.
The 1923 news archives continued on to say: "The opportunity given for meeting friends and renewing former acquaintances formed one of the most delightful features of the picnic."
In this spirit, Mayor Laura Ryan says, "On behalf of Town of Mono Council, I welcome all residents past and present to help us celebrate Canada's 150 Years of Confederation. We will enjoy a day of fun, food, entertainment and a moment to recount our history as a town and a great country. There is no better way to celebrate being Canadian than to have a backyard picnic with music and friends."
The Mono Township Canada 150 Celebration Picnic will take place Sunday, June 4, from 11 am – 4 pm at the Mono Community Centre: 754483 Mono Centre Road in Mono Twp. Bring your own picnic, blanket, chairs etc. The entertainment, lemonade, popcorn and ice cream will be provided by Mono Twp.

NORTHRIDGE – The coroner's office today released the name of the woman shot to death by her boyfriend in Northridge, who then held the Los Angeles Police SWAT team at bay for more than four hours.
The shooting victim was Risa Suggs, 52, of Porter Ranch, said coroner's Investigator Kristy McCracken.
The man suspected of gunning down his girlfriend of many years surrendered to Los Angeles police SWAT officers at 5 a.m. Friday, after a 4 1/2- hour standoff, and was transported to a hospital to be treated for what may have been a self-inflicted wound to the face, police said.
Officers responding to a domestic disturbance call in the area of Kenya Street and Baton Rouge Avenue around 12:30 a.m. found the body of a woman in front of a residence, said Capt. Ivan Minsal of the LAPD's Devonshire Station.
Across the street, a man was holed up in a home and refused to come out, prompting a SWAT response and the evacuation of residents in a two-block radius, he said.
Crisis negotiators established telephone contact with the man, trying to get him to surrender, the captain said.
The victim had been the suspect's girlfriend for a number of years, said Lt. Andy Neiman, an LAPD spokesman, adding the two had no children.

seriously high level of customer service
Mark & Pauline are something quite special, the level of service is excellent, however also very natural.
There is nothing around the area they dont seem to know, happy to accomodate requests, and do whatever they can to ensure your stay is as good as it could be. I was there mainly to walk in local hills, and Mark was spot on with direction to get where i needed to be, assisted in planning, and tweaked my plans to make them even better. Its rare for me to give full marks for any establishment, however this was way beyond expectation and total deserves top marks. I wouldnt consider staying anywhere else in the area after this experience.

We stayed for 2 nights during the recent heavy rains.
Our clothes were soaking everytime we went out it didn't phase the owners our clothes were dried no problems. Despite a bridge falling along the river which took out the water supply on our 2nd night we awoke to coffee and full breakfast which is excellent. Thanks we had a great time.

Our good friends invited us to the Lindsay Wildlife Animal Musuem and we loved it. The museum was interactive with simulations, talks by volunteers, wildlife for the kids to see, and a real vet hospital which operates on injured animals.
The museum has a wonderful program which takes in injured animals for free and helps them so they can be re-released back the wild. The kids had a chance to see a real vet operate on an eagle. Afterwards, everyone had a chance to ask questions. I was proud of Sunshine. He asked "Where does the eagle sleep?" The volunteer responded "In the tree." He then responded, "I mean here." Everyone chucked. I am impressed with his confidence and his ability to respond quickly.
