Oh no....
Bob resigns..
I can't get this to load? Hopefully someone else can..
One of the most ethical, hardest working politicians this country has ever had... and one who was forced into politics not chose it..
I hope he enjoys his retirement.

Wow, I wonder why exactly?

The harridan Christine Milne is leader. That woman has the personality of a garden rake.

Gee I didn't realise he was 67.

She is actually a lovely woman, she just has the misfortune of having a most unappealing voice.
Unfortunately that means quite a lot in our soundbite world.

So sad. I have always enjoyed his hard work and passion- especially on environmental and human rights issues.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 12:08 PM
Such a sad loss for the political landscape in Australia. A man of great integrity, intelligence and humour. Not to mention a fab photographer. As he is the BB in my id - that I love - I am a very sad.

I'm talking about her Q&A appearances where she's consistently sneering and smarmy.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 12:25 PM
I am really shocked and upset about this. Having met Bob several times I can assure anyone he is genuinely a great bloke.
He has gone lip service to human rights issues such as Tibet. He has on many occasions been very bold in his support of their human rights issues and our campaigns.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 12:31 PM
wow, that's out of the blue. hopefully the Greens can continue to be a strong force in parliament even without his leadership

Good riddance.

Awful news. We need more politicians like Bob Brown!

where will we move to now?
Posted 13 April 2012 - 12:47 PM
A huge loss to the Australian political scene. I hope the Greens don't go the way of the Democrats.
Madam Catty, you are a woman of many contradictions I would have never picked you as a Greens supporter.

Oh yay finally - now to just get rid of the rest of them!

There has to be a major reason for him to leave now rather than just not contest the next election.

Then Jesus said to them, Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.' Then the one inside answers, Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.' I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man's boldness he will get up and give him as much as he needs. (Luke 11:5-8)
This parable bothered me when I was younger. It seemed to paint a rather terse picture, and I remember thinking to myself, Why doesn't the neighbor just give him the bread? Is this really the way prayer works?
If the emphasis of this passage is our own persistence, then we must be willing to keep asking until finally we've pounded enough and God answers our prayers! Really?
Let's consider the text. In the first century, parables were commonly used by orators, sages and teachers to clarify a given truth through illustration of a negative or positive example. Jesus was a master of the parable.
In this instance, Jesus tells an animated, rather humorous story that the crowd could relate to with ease. In that day, if visitors came to your home, it was customary to welcome them with your very best food and drink for their refreshment.
Since people couldn't pick up the phone to give a heads-up that they were on their way, it was common for the arrival of guests to catch their hosts by surprise. The mere mention of this scenario would have inspired head-nodding amusement among the listening crowd, for everyone knew of inconvenient experiences portrayed in the teacher's story.
Jesus continued by saying that the surprise visitor showed up at midnight, which would have incited even more laughter. Again, listeners would have easily empathized, because travelers usually planned their walking time during the cool of evening rather than the heat of the day.
Most homes were very small, one-room structures. When a family rose in the morning, they opened the door, and it remained open until evening when the entire family, pets and sometimes even livestock were herded into the house to retire.
Even though this part of the world is hot, it is noted for its chilly evenings. Before the sun completely set, everyone – and thing – crowded into the house and crammed onto floor mats to share body heat.
With that in mind, let's consider this parable again. Imagine, you look out the window and see your long-lost aunt and uncle with their three kids coming toward the door, and you have already eaten the day's supply of bread (it was customary for a family to bake just enough bread for that day because of spoilage).
Without the means to satisfy the religious and social obligations of a host, potential shame would send you running to a nearby house. The listeners, too, could easily see themselves frantically pounding on their neighbor's door to escape impending embarrassment.
We can only imagine the commotion inside that small house as the inhabitants were abruptly awakened. They naturally shouted, Go away! We are sleeping! But this doesn't stop the distressed neighbor. In this parable, Jesus paints a sitcom-worthy picture. Reluctantly, the neighbor gives our main character some food – just so they can go back to sleep.
When Jesus finished the story, he expressed the point of the parable – by changing the tone and offering this application, So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
Now, contrary to most cursory assumptions, Jesus is not inferring that perseverance, persistence or being a nuisance is the key to effectual prayer.
In the original language, the action words are written in the tense that depicts continual action – not as in keep knocking the door down, but rather be in the habit of knocking! In other words, don't come to God only in your midnight emergencies, but rather, keep in constant communion with your father.
You see, it is with our heart that we communicate with God, not with our knuckles.

Shark Attack on 11-Year-Old Girl's Leg in Florida
A shark attack over the weekend on a Florida beach left a baby tooth embedded in the skin of an 11-year-old girl as she was boogie boarding in knee-deep water. She felt the shark sink its teeth into her lower leg.
The incident occurred at Winter Haven Park in Ponce Inlet on Saturday. "At first I wasn't thinking about pain, I was thinking I got bit by a shark and I have to go to the emergency room," she told Florida's WKMG Local 6. "Then I felt the sting and it hurt real bad."
The shark bit her twice — once on the lower leg and once on the heel. A couple of strangers quickly jumped into action, wrapping her leg in a towel and rushing her to their car, the news station reported.
When Breihan got to the hospital, doctors discovered a small tooth in one of the bites. She was stitched up and is expected to make a full recovery.
The shark attack victim won't be going swimming for a while though. "I don't think I would go back in the water just because I'm going to wait," she told WKMG. Breihan is lucky.
Still, the fortunate sixth grader will have a story of how she survived a shark attack to tell her classmates, not to mention that souvenir tooth.
Earlier this month, a 20-year-old German woman died after a shark bit her arm off as she snorkeled on a Maui beach. The last time someone in Hawaii died from a shark attack was in 2004, when a tiger shark bit Willis McInnis in the leg while he was surfing 100 yards off Maui. McInnis suffered severe blood loss and died on the shore despite rescue efforts by beachgoers, police, and paramedics.
As for shark attacks in Florida, Breihan's was the twelfth of the year and the second for the month of August, according to the Shark Attack Survivors website. Christian Mercurio, a 17-year-old vacationing from New Jersey, received a bite to his right leg off the island of Sanibel on Aug. 5.
The last fatal attack before that was in 1992. Worldwide, there were seven deaths resulting from unprovoked shark attacks in 2012, according to the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida.

Supplement Label Claims
Thursday, May 24, 2012
In spite of peer-reviewed evidence suggesting over 90 percent of the US population suffers from nutritional deficiencies that contribute to degenerative diseases, current FDA law prevents micronutrient formulators from making science-based label, brochure, or web site claims suggesting that dietary supplements can prevent, treat or cure any disease. Last year, Americans spent around $200 billion on FDA approved prescription drugs, which are allowed to claim that they cure or safely managed disease processes, despite mounting clinical evidence to the contrary in many cases.

I like the bright colors and the picture itself, but did not care for the quality of the product and so it needs to go back.
The painting is beautiful with very vivid colors. With that being said the canvas is not Gallery Wrapped, the sides of the canvas that wrap around the stretcher bars are painted black. I had inquired before purchasing whether the picture truely wrapped around and was told it did, however it does not.
Beautiful! feels like you are there standing in the stream. Peaceful, very relaxing
My Son Loved His Christmas Gift from me....which made me very happy! He had just recently bought a home and I wanted a large and beautiful picture for his home. He loved it so much that he wanted one for his bedroom too. I think I will order him another (different picture of course) for his bedroom on his birthday. :) It was a great find for me....wonderful price too!

Natasha Barnard is a member of the four woman SI Swimsuit rookie class. Here's a clip from the Natasha Barnard About Me page. I started my modelling career after I finished High school, at the age of 18. I had to move away from home to further my career and although that was not easy for me to do, it made me stronger, independent and so much wiser. You grow up fast in the industry, but you quickly learn to stand on your own two feet. I have been very fortunate to work with many incredible people in the industry and I continue to learn more and more every day. Being a model is certainly hard work, but I have always loved a challenge ;) Want Natasha Barnard pictures, you've come to the right place.

If you hold the Cambridge ESOL DELTA or Trinity DipTESOL, you are eligible to apply for 20 credits APL to be set against one 20-credit core module (EAP Pedagogies).
This course can be started in September, January or May and is available online for part-time distance learning.
The MA Teaching English for Academic Purposes (TEAP) aims to equip you with the skills necessary to become a competent, research-informed and innovative English for Academic Purposes (EAP) practitioner. Worldwide there is a significant increase in the demand for EAP teachers, and this growth has stemmed from the expansion of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI), the internationalisation of the higher education section, the increasingly dominant position of English as the language of education and research, and the rapid expansion of access to higher education.
The course focuses on the development of teacher competencies required to improve the academic literacy of students, and entails knowledge and skills that incorporate much more than basic mastery of classroom management skills and knowledge of language systems. In order to achieve this, and on the basis that EAP is essentially interdisciplinary, the course draws on a wide range of intellectual sources including:

In a previous post, I have shared with you the list of 307 sight/Oxford words that my son's school uses in their Foundation classes. After the first two terms of the school, it turned out that my son was ready for a new challenge. After a discussion with their coordinator, his teacher decided to provide him with the spelling words lists. The idea is the same as the reading sight words; each week, he is tested and once he achieves that particular lot (normally 10 a week but it also depends on the individual's pace) confidently, the next set of spelling words are worked on at home and tested at school the following week.
I thought it may be beneficial for many of you to have this list to use with your children now or save for later. To access to the list, click here.
Have a wonderful day!

RECIPE: Homemade Playdough
Just recently, I heard something called 'cream of tartar' and that you can use it to make some homemade playdough with. Did I just make it obvious that I don't really bake much normally? Anyway, no need to get into unnecessary details here, right?
Well, I found the packet of cream of tartar in the baking aisle of a chain supermarket in my area. I wanted to mention it here so that your search of it is much less painful and time consuming than mine was in case you too have never bought it before.
The rest was much easier. I also bought my first ever food colouring pack and voila! I simply came home, stored them until kids were at home, then took them out one day and made playdough with my little helpers. I used same recipe on the cream of tartar packet (I used McKenzie's cream of tartar). It was super easy!
2 cups plain flour
4 tbs cream of tartar
1 cup salt
2 cups water
2 tbs cooking oil
Food coloring
Mix all ingredients. Stir over medium heat for a few minutes. When the mixture congeals, it is ready!

Landscaping 101: Getting the Garden of Your Dreams on a Budget (GUEST POST)
Maya Pugh is a stay-at-home mom who considers her garden to be her own version of 'heaven on earth'. When not tinkering with her plants, she is a freelance writer and an avid blogger. She loves to write about home gardening tips and trick, d.i.y. Home improvement and beautification, and other home creative stuffs. A zealous fan of nature, she is currently saving for a Eurotrip with her husband Aleksander and their two kids. While she calls Brisbane home, you can easily get in touch with her via email or G+.
While traditional thinking dictates you need to spend a fortune on landscaping, it's reassuring to know you can actually spend just a fraction of the expected amount and still have a space you can consider ideal.
Get the most bang for your buck by keeping the following helpful tips in mind.
Obviously, much of the visual appeal of your garden can be credited to your plants.
In line with this, you need to choose well. Opt for plants that will complement the overall theme you have in mind.
Since shrubs, trees, soil and perennials can get downright expensive; it would be wise to purchase them late in the season. This is usually the time when retailers want to dispose of them.
In addition, you can look into getting a few plants that will help layer down the dull areas in your garden. You may also rely on potted varieties to instantly freshen up any bald spot.
When it comes to designing your backyard, creativity is always a key component.
For instance, if you are looking into designing your pathway, consider using bricks.
Fortunately, nowadays, you can easily get cheap ones from demolition sites. For starters, you can align them side by side, forming some sort of path wave or you can use them as a brick planter and any other designs you can think of.
Understandably, healthy soil is considered a fundamental element of most gardens.
That being said, it will work to your advantage to ensure you have healthy soil to work with. Know the kind you currently have so you will have an idea what to do in case it needs some boost.
Also, to further save on costs, look into incorporating old bird cages and window frames into your backyard designs.
In addition, unused tires can also be painted and transformed into a garden art to add more charm and personality to your space.
The plants in your garden will thrive more given the right nutrients.
While purchasing mulch and fertilizers is something you can easily resort to, it is reassuring to know you have other options when money is tight.
For instance, you can try composting as a sound alternative to buying fertilizers. With the help of yard waste and food scraps, you can easily produce compost for your garden.
In addition, you need to make sure you are aware of composting basics, so your plants can enjoy all the benefits it has to offer.
For many homeowners, this is often the tricky part.
While challenging, however, coming up with a maintenance system that works is actually feasible. You just have to ensure you take all possible expenses into account. For instance, if you have a large lawn and you don't think you have the time to attend to mowing on a regular basis, make it a point to include mowing fee into your maintenance expenses.
In addition, seeking the help of turf suppliers when it comes to garden supplies and the like will go a long way towards ensuring you will get what you need without having to go beyond your budget.
A garden you can be proud of does not have to cost you much. With patience, ingenuity and a little creativeness thrown in, you can look forward to enjoying your dream garden without having to spend a fortune.

We Have Adopted
|Photo taken on 13/5/13
The two photos below were taken when she first arrived at her new home greeted very warmly by Mr. and Miss Junior. This was two nights ago. It is believed that she is currently 6-8 weeks old.
This photo was taken yesterday. Her first day at her new home. She can hardly walk. She is extremely weak. She finds it hard to stand up. We are planning on massaging her knees with some olive oil tonight. We did some online search and also asked for some professional advice on what to feed her. It was advised that she had some milk (formula milk for lambs) to boost her immune system as well as gain some strength. We bought her some milk and bought a bottle too but unfortunately, there was not much luck in feeding her any of it. She definitely didn't appreciate it.
The last photo here is from today, her second day with us. For the first time in my life, I tried to bottle-feed an animal. Even though my kids never had bottles, it felt so natural to say things like "C'mon Mummy, it is good for you. C'mon, you can do it, just try to suck it a bit. Good girl". Even Mr. Junior was trying to encourage her, saying 'good job little girl'. I feel like mothering her. Unfortunately, not very successfully at this stage though. She refused to drink any milk today as well. She slowly chews on some hay and fresh grass and we are planning to see whether she may be ready for pellets tonight. We are all excitedly awaiting the day when she can start walking properly and even jump around with a cheerful 'baaaa'.
Note: This post was written and left in the drafts folder last year but I didn't have the courage or the motivation to publish it until now. Unfortunately, even after getting some professional help, she did not make it more than a few more days with us. It shook us a bit as a family but it is life. Rest in peace Little Girl!

Guest Post: A Step-by-Step Guide to Installing a New Pendant Light Fixture
Installing a new pendant light can be as easy as removing an old fixture and installing a new one. There are two issues that can help make your installation easier. First, with the exclusion of large heavy chandeliers, most pendant lights are lightweight and fine for a standard ceiling box. This makes them easier to handle or to momentarily suspend from a ceiling box with a DIY wire hook. Additionally, with the exclusion of most track lights, pendant lights usually hang from a canopy. This gives you the opportunity to support your fixture on your ladder or an interim hook, leaving your hands free to adjust the electrical and mechanical linkages.
How To Install a New Pendant Light Fixture
Remember to make sure that the power is turned-off at your home's circuit box. Place a covering over the switch to make sure that it won't be turned back on while you're working. Keep a circuit tester near to make certain that the power is off before touching any electrical wiring.
Step 1: Remove the Existing Fixture
Remove the existing fixture. If you have a ceiling fan, be sure to take away the blades from the fan first. Loosen the screws while holding the fan still. Lightly pull the fixture away from the mounting bracket. Carefully remove the wire nuts from the wires, separate the fixture, and take out the mounting bracket.
Step 2: Affix the Mounting Bracket
To suspend your new pendant light, affix the new mounting bracket to the junction box. Most of the time, older mounting brackets use screws from the bottom; however, the newer versions have open bolts on the base that are topped with a cap nut.
Step 3: Affix the Wires
Affix the wires to the new pendant light following the manufacturer's directions. This is normally white-to-white, black-to-black, and ground-to-ground.
Step 4: Firmly Fix the Connections
Firmly fix the connections with wire nuts, and then affix the bare ground wire to the green ground screw on the mounting bracket. On a number of fixtures, the neutral wire may be black with a white stripe. Slip the new pendant lamp over the bolts in the mounting bracket, and then fasten the mounting cap nuts.
Don't forget to put the light bulbs in last; however, wash your hands first. This will help give your light bulbs a longer lifespan. Now you can climb down from your ladder and marvel at your work. Whether you've installed it as part of a living room remodel, or just because, we're sure you'll be seeing your room in a whole new, better light.

It's a satire so devilish, he'll do it only in churches.
John Huston has adapted the C.S. Lewis novels The Screwtape Letters and Screwtape Proposes a Toast as a one-man show.
"I've had it in mind for years," said Huston. He's best known for his annual oneman A Christmas Carol. "The first time I read it, I thought this would make an interesting show."
It's set in Hell - but before you start gathering kindling, Huston is no heretic. Lewis tells the story of Hell's senior devil Screwtape and his underling Wormwood to show the devious ways that evil wins souls and diverts them from Heaven.
"First of all, it's fun, which people aren't expecting. But they also realize that this guy's a bad guy. It's clear that you're not supposed to follow this guy," Huston said.
A church setting - not a church hall but the actual sanctuary - was suggested for an early production, and Huston though it was genius.
"It limns the message much more clearly."
He's modernized his version and excommunicated some overly-English verbiage. Hell has the Internet now. And Huston has gone corporate with his look, shaving his familiar beard and buying a meticulously tailored suit and shirt from Hong Kong. In easy-breathing summer wool, it's sinfully sumptuous.
"It's unbelievable. I'm spoiled now. I look taller and thinner. It's just stunning."
As with A Christmas Carol, it's a substantial chunk of text that Huston has had to internalize. One audience member thought he was wearing Google Glasses as a cheat. What? The devil cheat? Not so. The specs are from the Dollar Store.
Only one matinee - on a Sunday, of course - is planned for Saskatoon before the show seeks further perdition at the Edmonton Fringe Festival.
Admission is by donation.

John Huston presents 2 p.m. Sunday All Saints' Anglican Church, 1801 Lorne Ave.

I worked at Pearson full-time (more than 10 years)Pros
Pearson is trying hard to be at the cutting edge of education technology and innovation. As it puts its reorg behind it, it may again be a really great place to work.Cons
Many who have been there through the whole reorg are tired and dispirited. The old corporate culture is gone and the new one has not taken root. Because the reorg took so long, it has become extraordinarily political and there is a lot of internal competition and empire building. In addition, as others have mentioned, the attempt at creating global strategy has made it much more hierarchical; lost is the sense that a good idea that arises at any level will be given consideration.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Get out of your offices and walk around and talk with people. That's what the old AW-BC management did, and it was a real factor in their success.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

Travel Jonze was laughing out loud at this clever YouTube video from the folk-country band Sons of Maxwell, which details the band's experience with United after one of their checked guitars was broken -- apparently when baggage crews were flinging it around on the tarmac.
According to a link from the video, band frontman Dave Carroll said United would "do nothing" to compensate him after his $3,500 guitar was damaged on a flight to Nebraska. He said he watched from a window as baggage handlers threw the guitar cases around during a layover in O'Hare.
The catchy chorus on the video ends with: "I should have flown with someone else/or gone by car/'cause United breaks guitars."
The video has received 2.6 million hits.
In another example of the power of viral video, in a followup video Carroll said that United "generously, but late" offered him compensation for the broken guitar. He suggested that the airline send the money instead to a charity of their choice. He also said that a Part 2 video was in production.
