RAMWolff - 13 January 2013 10:20 AMAww, so sorry to hear your now plagued with having to redo morphs. It's not fun but you will feel better once it's behind you. Seems odd with everything hidden besides the inner mouth and teeth that this would even be an issue. Odd but if there is a morph dialed.. yea. I always make sure to zero poses and morphs before exporting. All the times I forgot was a disaster in so many ways. One time I forgot to zero the figure from a partial pose. Now that was really crazy. Dialed the morph just to see what would happen and the whole body exploded. Very attractive. NOT! lol

Fonda is no plain Jane
Biography takes a frank look at star's transformational public life
"Jane Fonda: The Private Life of a Public Woman"
Patricia Bosworth
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt; 600 pages; $30
Whatever comes to mind when you consider Jane Fonda --actress, activist, traitor, sexpot, sellout — you simply cannot deny her significance as a public figure during the latter half of the 20th century. At least, that's the understanding you'll have after reading Patricia Bosworth's authorized biography, "Jane Fonda: The Private Life of a Public Woman," a riveting read that reveals a woman whose frustrating contradictions, epic transformations and shrewd decision-making embody — or at least reflect — the massive cultural shifts that took place during her lifetime.
As a friendly acquaintance of Fonda's from acting school in the 1960s, Bosworth's perspective is intimate enough to make sense of Fonda's cycle of self-revelations, but objective enough to detail her frequent slip-ups and outright failures through research and interviews with Fonda's family, friends, colleagues and others. The women agreed that Fonda would write her autobiography, "My Life So Far," during Bosworth's 10-year research and writing process (Bosworth cites the 2005 memoir several times in the book). But Fonda, well aware of her own unrivaled ego, smartly placed the more impartial telling of her life — as well as her infamous Nixon-era FBI file — in the hands of a writer able to elucidate her perplexing emotional entanglements, without entirely excusing them.
How you feel about Fonda depends greatly upon the era during which you came of age. Younger readers may think of the regal, older actress who married (then divorced) media baron billionaire Ted Turner. Or perhaps she comes to mind as the fit, forty-something who wanted you to "feel the burn" while following along on one of her wildly successful workout videos. Back a few more years and she's either an outspoken anti-war activist or a "Commie traitor," depending on your bent — and an opportunistic politician's wife to boot. The 1960s was the decade that made Fonda a sexpot and, before that, a determined young actress out of the Method school. A few more years back and you probably didn't consider her at all — but you sure did respect her father, Henry.
Whatever era or opinion suits you, Bosworth fills in the gaps with flair, portraying Fonda as a complex heroine of literary scale and, based on the range of intense reactions her name still can elicit today, it's an appropriate tack to take. In fact, it's easy to envision Fonda's life as an epic feature film in its own right, following a format similar to Bosworth's chapter structure: Daughter (1937-1958), Actress (1958-1963), Movie Star/Sex Symbol (1963-1970), Political Activist (1970-1988) and Workout Guru/Tycoon Wife (1988-2000).
Adored and reviled, intensely sexual yet cold, Fonda is a contradiction in everything she does, making her endlessly alluring and entirely frustrating. Her oldest daughter Vanessa (her father is Fonda's first husband Roger Vadim, the director who transformed her into a sex symbol in "Barbarella") will be the first to attest to that. When her mother asked for help with a video of her life up to age 60, Vanessa responded, "Why don't you just get a chameleon and let it crawl across the screen?" Ouch.

Dog Days
A hot day in Tel Aviv, a bored child, and a discussion of the Commandments
If you think you died and went to hell but aren't really sure, there are a few ways to find out. The first is to check how miserable and desperate you feel. The second is to browse through a newspaper and confirm that every double spread is a story about some horrific crime or a politician's revolting behavior. And the third, maybe most empirical test: Simply check the temperature around you. If it's over 104 degrees, you must be in hell.
I am now apparently in hell. Or it's just August in Tel Aviv. A child's vacation from school, the unbearable temperature and humidity, the thousands of loud French tourists who fill every public space that doesn't have a locked door: They all create a critical mass that sucks every drop of the will to live right out of you.
Lev, my 4-and-a-half-year-old son, feels pretty much at home in the depths of hell. He wanders around our house nervously with his blue eyes and a white tank top shirt covered with a huge sweat stain, looking like he's either about to slap someone or yell out, "Stella!" but he does neither. Instead, he just comes up to me every 10 minutes and asks, "What's the plan for today?" I don't answer right away. Stalling for time. The concept "plan for today" usually leads to one of the following three possibilities:
1. Unpleasant rubbing up against 100 kids in the roped off one-meter-square play area in the mall. (At least it's air conditioned.)
2. Splashing around in the murky liquid of the neighborhood kiddie pool that's the temperature of urine and smells even worse. ("But Daddy, I didn't bite. We were just playing dolphin and shark.")
3. Watching a stupid 3-D movie. (Idea for a startup: inventing glasses that give the plot some depth when you put them on.)
I decide to rebel against my fate and say to Lev, "Today we're just going to stay home and have fun." The idea of "having fun" is vague enough to challenge the child.
"How can you have fun at home?" he asks. "That's a riddle," I say in a didactic tone, "and you have to guess the right answer."
Lev thinks for a minute and suggests a solution. "Ambush Mommy with a water gun?" I shake my head. "Play vase soccer again?" I signal that this answer isn't the right one either. Lev gives it one more try, "Then maybe to dig a giant hole in the living room and cover it with the rug, and when Uncle Ram falls into it, we'll dance around him and sing 'We caught a ram!' " When that effort doesn't succeed either, he gives up.
"When I said 'have fun,' " I explain, "I meant that we'd sit together here on the rug, just the two of us, drink lemonade, and talk to each other." "Talk to Daddy?" Lev says contemptuously. "Talk to Daddy? That doesn't sound like much fun." "You say that," I argue, "because you never did it. Let's try it for a minute and see."
Lev likes the lemonade I made. That's already a good start.
"What do you want to talk about?" I ask him as we sip together. "The Ten Commandments," Lev suggests. "A good subject," I nod admiringly. "What do you want to say about the Ten Commandments?" "That Mommy's silly and makes up a whole bunch of weird commandments that aren't there," Lev says. "What commandments, for instance, did she make up?" I ask. "You mustn't kill," Lev says. "But she's right," I tell Lev. "There really is a commandment like that." "Daddy's silly too," Lev giggles. "There's no commandment like that." "Sure there is," I insist. "It's the most important one." "Then how come" Lev asks, still smiling condescendingly, "every time we turn on the TV, they're always talking about people killing each other?"
I momentarily consider entering into a profound philosophical discussion about the human psyche, but it's too hot for that. Instead of answering, I shout, "Who wants to see Wonderpets?" and turn on the TV. It's a shame that you have to go through the news broadcast to get to the kids' programs, and before I can switch channels, we hear a report about an Israeli who's been arrested in the United States as a suspected racially motivated serial killer.
"You mustn't kill," Lev bellows, laughing, as I zap to the safe haven of the kids' channel. "Daddy's silly," I say, ruffling his hair as the door bell rings. Standing in the doorway is Uncle Ram. He's holding a 640-page typed manuscript of his life story in rhyme. He's come all the way from Nahariya to bring me a copy to read. It would've been a lot more fun if, instead of talking, we'd dug that hole in the living room.

Video: Worst. Basketball. Moment. Ever. (Thanks Belgium)
Nov 14, 2012, 6:33 PM EDT
I have gone and watched my 9-year-old neighbor's basketball games, and I have never seen anything like this video out of a Belgian league of some age (hat tip to The Big Lead).
Let's go over what is wrong here. First, notice the player in the dark uniform is shooting a free throw, which he misses. Then our hero in the yellow uniform makes a nice aggressive move down the lane to get the defensive rebound. Then he inexplicably shoots it at his own basket. And misses from point-blank range. Then gets his own rebound (because his teammates ran down court to get on offense) and shoots and misses again. And again. And again. Until a teammate has to come in and block his shot to get him to stop.
This would be the new video I put up to make me laugh when something starts to bother me. I think it's going to work better than Katy Perry's "California Girlz."

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Brief HistoryProud of his sonNorton is the father of Hank McCoy a.k.a. The Beast. He is married to Edna McCoy; he was exposed to radiation during a meltdown in a power plant where he was working. Due to Norton´s exposure to radiation Hank was born with huge hands, feet, and incredibly high I.Q. During Hank´s childhood, they were supportive and kind to their boy.During Hank´s teen years, his powers manifested more readily, provoking jealousy and attention from others. One day Hank stopped three criminals using his mutant abilities, and this made it to the news. The villain known only as the Conquistador decided that he could use Hank as a weapon after seeing this report. The Conquistador successfully managed to kidnap Hank, Edna, and Norton, and told Hank that he would release them when he stole an experimental nuclear device. Hank accepted but when he returned, Conquistador stated that he didn´t need Hank anymore; but he would keep Hank's parents indefinitely. At this moment Professor X with Cyclops and Iceman saved Hank and his parents, and offered Hank to join the X-Men, giving him codename Beast.Several years later, an alternate version of Hank ( Dark Beast) arrived to the current time line and studied plenty of Hank´s closest friends and familiars in order to learn everything about Hank and supplant him. During his visit to Hank´s parents, Dark Beast almost killed them but he couldn´t, killing instead a pedestrian nearby.Powers and AbilitiesAlthough the father of the X-man Beast, Norton is not a mutant and possesses no special powers, but is a very smart and educated man.

Strange bedfellows: Star-Crossed, the sci-fi Romeo and Juliet
Prepare for an alien invasion as lovebirds from different worlds fall for each other
Published on Jun 19, 2014 12:27 PM
When someone utters this very cliched line - "We're from two different worlds" - you know that love, moping and the furtive look of longing are seriously forbidden.
In Star-Crossed, a sci-fi version of Romeo And Juliet mixed with 90210, The O.C., Mean Girls and those cheesy sci-fi series where aliens come from outer space but still somehow look like very hot human beings - the two central lovebirds really do come from different worlds that are hostile towards each other.
The alien boy, Roman (90210's Matt Lanter), crash-lands on Earth as a young kid in 2014 from the planet, Atria (wherever that is), and meets a small girl in a backyard shed.
Fast-forward 10 years to 2024, Roman is bused to an intimidating high school in Louisiana amid tight security - read: America's civil rights desegregation of the 1960s - where he re-connects with that kind human girl, Emery Whitehill (Friday Night Lights' Aimee Teegarden).

Steve Redwood was born on a rainy day in 1943. It was still raining twenty-five years later, so he left the country in a huff, a raincoat, and a plane. Most of his life has been a textbook study of uselessness, large chunks of it misspent. He has avoided serious work by teaching, and marriage by running away.
He is at present hiding out in Madrid.

Following yesterday's announcement of a Wii U release for the popular Sniper Elite V2, Rebellion and 505 Games have today launched a brand new downloadable content (DLC) add-on for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the videogame. The new St. Pierre DLC is available to download now.
You did some great work on clearing that fuel depot up at Neudorf, Agent Fairburne, you really threw a spanner in the works for their re-enforcement plans. But enough about former glories; there's something of a counter attack coming on the western front; led by a General Rodebrecht. Now, he's a bit of a rising star in the German high command and some believe he may be able to turn the tide which frankly we can't have, not now we're making such good headway pushing across France towards Berlin. SHAEF see this man as a significant threat and want him eliminated. His service book needs to be retrieved as proof that the mission was completed.
We're not sure exactly where you'll find Rodebrect but the latest intel puts him somewhere in the countryside surrounding the village of St. Pierre so you're going to have to plan this one out yourself and track him down. We've got a couple of new weapons for you to try out on this one — the British have sent over a few of their Lee Enfield No. 3 rifles which you should find particularly handy with their high velocity 303 rounds and you'll also find our brand new M1D Garand, a semi-automatic rifle which General Patton has called "the greatest battle implement ever devised".
Take on the challenge of the all new St. Pierre DLC for 505 Games' Sniper Elite V2 available from today from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360 and for PlayStation 3 via PlayStation Network, priced at 400 Microsoft Points and £3.99 GBP respectively. Electronic Theatre will keep you updated with all the latest details on the popular Sniper Elite videogame franchise.

New shop is old wave for San Diego surfers
Bird Huffman, owner of the new Bird's Surf Shed, has a foot in the past with an eye to the future
Huffman's attempt to reinvent the surf shop and put the spotlight back on surfboard shapers may be commendable to some, but there's certainly some risk attached.
"Creating a good atmosphere and paying the bills are two different things," says Joe Roper, Huffman's longtime friend and owner of Joe Roper's Surfboard Repair. "It's going to be tough, but I see this working out because he has a lot of talent. The puzzle can really come together with left-field ideas like this."
For reasons that go beyond finances, Huffman is confident his shop will succeed.
"Whether it works or not, at the age that I'm at, I have to feel good about what I'm doing." Huffman says. "I believe I can make a living and that a lot of my return on investment will come more from personal satisfaction. It's something you don't get in to only for the money — that's a fact."
Not only are surfboard shapers not getting their due, there's also a communal aspect missing from modern surf shops in Huffman's mind.
As part of his tribute to surfing, visitors can do more than peruse boards. Huffman is featuring a small library of his own surf magazines dating back to the 1960s, holding art shows, screening surf films on a projector, actively highlighting surfboards from local shapers that larger shops don't carry, and installing a shaping bay to give surfboard shapers the chance to do what they do best and educate newcomers on the art of surfboard design. His intention is to bring together old and new surfers in an open environment to promote the free exchange of ideas — and ultimately make surfing better.
"It's certainly cool because many surf shops can be cliquey," says George Gall, co-owner of Plus One Surfboards. "We've only seen the tip of the iceberg — things like this are good for a sense of community."
And if customers can't find everything they need in Huffman's shop? In true aloha fashion, he'll send them back to his old shop to help their business.

04.07.07 - Photos & report courtesy of Klitschko.com - The second part of the pre-fight activities is an open workout or more commonly known as the press training. In the old days it started out as a boxers desire to put on a show before the fight for boxing fans. Though today it has turned into a mass media event, with so many journalists and media representatives, theres barely enough room for a few fans.
Thats just what happened today at two oclock, where the press training was held inside the Mercedes-Benz Shopping Center in Kohl. Inside the hall a ring was set up next to sparkling models of Mercedes cars. As always the challenger was the first to train inside the ring, followed by Wladimir..

The .htaccess file I have is unable to find my 404.html document in a sub-folder called "error". The line in particular is:

However, if I place 404.html in the same directory as .htaccess and change the line to:

I'm using XAMPP for Windows if that helps, and in my httpd.conf file, the relevant directives are set as follows (I realize there is some redundancy):

According to those who know both men, the relationship between the cousins never recovered. But Michael Garson later got a consolation prizeparty backing for a Supreme Court post. Five years later, cousin Gerald joined him there. But even as Gerald Garson was donning his black polyester robes, he continued to be a major influence on Norman's thinking when it came to party nominations for the courts. This was evident in 1997, the same year that Gerald Garson was elected to Supreme Court, when Normanbadly in need of a civil court candidate after his own choice was forced to drop out-turned to a lawyer in Garson's law firm named Karen Rothenberg.
As James Bradley reported in the Voice that year, the key requirements were that the candidate should be a female attorney with a Jewish namethe proven winning-est combination on a borough-wide ballotand, most importantly, have the ability to raise at least $100,000 to pay for the race. In a playbook written by the late Brooklyn democratic boss Meade Esposito, the money was to go for highly paid, party-selected political consultants and printers. Those vendors, in turn, made their own large contributions to the party. Gerald Garson's brief stint as an informer began in late March and continued until early last week, when, faced with the likelihood that the Post was about to expose its investigation, the D.A.'s office brought it to a quick end. Two nights before his arrest, Garson called his family together to tell them he was about to be charged. Word from that gathering radiated across political Brooklyn.
Judicial appointments are one of the last strongholds of patronage in New York. Thanks to inter-party cooperation between Democrats and Republicans who divide the available judgeships between them and then cross-designate each other's candidates, the positions amount to virtual lifetime sinecures. In addition there are hundreds of clerks and law secretaries to be selected, posts with similar levels of job security and benefits. It is because of these basic political facts of life that no serious effort has ever been made to reform the way the state's top judges are selected. The Daily News' editorial page has been on a 15-month-long crusade about this issue, hammering especially hard at Norman's Brooklyn. After Hynes's remarkable announcement about his newly convened grand jury, the paper expressed deep skepticism and called for an independent prosecutor.
Yet the News itself was silent last year when Lopez Torres, a former Legal Services attorney, became the first-ever incumbent civil court judge to be denied endorsement by her party and was forced to wage her own campaign for re-election. She apparently wasn't good enough for the crusaders at the Daily News, who declined to endorse her.

Donovan lifts Galaxy past Real SLC 3-2
Espindola stepped into the playmaker role again in the 24th minute. This time, he crossed the ball deep into the box toward Saborio. With a defender blanketing him, Saborio managed to get a toe on the ball and flicked it into the corner of the net to make it 2-0.
It mattered little in the end. RSL lost its composure in the face of the Galaxy attack and failed to salvage even a point.
"We tried to push to go for the win because that's what we do at home," RSL defender Nat Borchers said. "We're always going to try to win. And they punished us."

This is a lot bigger than fracking. Let's not delude ourselves - even
without fracking shipments, the Port has got to go. Everything that
goes through the port is part of a global system that subjugates life itself to profit and domination. The Port of Olympia is a primary organ of industry, and as such is an enemy. Let's shut it down!

Castro's dream for Cuba's artists
Jigme Sherpa brings hope to Nepal's quake victims
31 Mar 2009 15:36 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Israel, United States
When Binyamin Netanyahu, the leader of the Likud party, was elected prime minister in 1996 he was not only the youngest politician to hold such a post but also the first prime minister born in Israel.
Now he set for a second stint in the post following Likud's strong showing in a recent general election.
Although Likud got one seat less than rival Kadima in the February 10 vote, Likud looked more likely to cobble together a coalition government given that it had the support of Yisrael Beitenu, a far-right party that finished third in the poll.
Army veteran
Born in Tel-Aviv on October 21, 1949, Netanyahu grew up in Jerusalem but went to high school in the US where his father taught history.
On his return to Israel in 1967, he enlisted in the Israeli army and soon became an elite commando; he served as a captain during the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
He was appointed as the deputy chief of mission at the Israeli embassy in Washington in 1982. In 1984 he was appointed Israel's ambassador to the United Nations.
In 1988, Netanyahu was elected to the 12th Knesset as a Likud member and was appointed deputy foreign minister in the cabinet of Yitzhak Shamir, the then Israeli prime minister.
Rising to the post of Likud party chairman in 1993, Netanyahu orchestrated its return to political power after its defeat in the 1992 election.
An opponent of the Labor government's peace policies, many held him responsible for cultivating Jewish right-wing support after the 1995 assassination of Israeli leader Yitzhak Rabin.
Netanyahu's mantra included the famous "three noes": no Palestinian state, no return of the Golan Heights to Syria and no discussion on the future status of Jerusalem.
Arab leaders at the time said Netanyahu's policies diminished prospects for peace.
Peace accords
Despite opposing peace deals with the Palestinians, Netanyahu signed the Wye River Accords in 1998 with Yasser Arafat, the then Palestinian president.
Netanyahu later turned over most of Hebron to Palestinian jurisdiction.
Right-wing parties accused him of abandoning his initial promises of taking a hard line with the Palestinians and threatened to walk out of a coalition government.
Forced to call elections 17 months early, Netanyahu lost to Ehud Barak, the then Labor chairman, in May 1999.
The embattled former prime minister would not return to public office until 2002 when he was appointed as foreign minister by Ariel Sharon, who became prime minister after winning in March 2001.
The two later competed for the Likud's chairmanship, which he lost. He regained his leadership of the party when Sharon left Likud to form his own Kadima party in 2005 just before the 2006 elections.
Netanyahu resigned as foreign minister in August 2005, in protest over Sharon's plan to disengage from Gaza.Tough policies
The Likud leader has always advocated a much tougher policy towards Iran and what he considers to be its proxy in Palestine, Hamas.
"The biggest, most important task of my government will be to fend off the Iranian threat in all aspects," he told a gathering of Jewish leaders from around the world before the February election.
"It will oblige us to work on all fronts, including harnessing the US administration to stop the threat."
He also believes rivalry between Hamas and Fatah has left the Palestinians too divided to negotiate a peace deal.
He said: "Palestinian society is deeply divided .... They are not strong enough to accept minimal concessions for a peace deal and are not strong enough to fight terror."

The Birds are attacking
Edenhope birds everywhere
I was frightened when I first saw Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds". When we arrived at the caravan park in Edenhope, S.A. and the proprietors told us the conservation officer would be coming by in the evening to shoot at the Corrillas (white parrots with the red slash across their throats). We didn't understand, thinking this was just more Australian slang. When we turned into the park we noticed an abnormal amount of guano on the cars and the caravans were protected by guano-covered tarps. Usually we try to find some shade but this time we parked away from the trees. Just as we were sitting down to our five o'clock happy hour a dark cloud appeared coming down the lake accompanied by voices of thousands of happy parrots returning from the wheat fields. The parrots landed in the gum trees around the park bringing up the decibel level until it was impossible to talk without shouting. The gum trees quickly filled until I thought they would fall over. The pine tree beside us looked like a Christmas tree with Parrots hanging at impossible angles while they squawked and simultaneously pulled the pine needles off the branches making a more comfortable roost.

We left the park to the birds and rode around the lake on our bicycles. There were a few parrots in the gum trees on the other side of the lake but nowhere near the concentration in the caravan park. Just like the patrons in the caravan park the birds were quiet when we got back just before dark. The conservation officer hadn't come by because it was New Year's Day.
If someone wanted cheap real-estate this would be the place to come. There were houses advertised for as low as $80,000 and if you wanted to get away from it all there were 250 acre parcels with three bedroom houses for a thousand dollars an acre.
Everyday the temp went up as we made our way towards Grampians National Park. On the way we passed some unbelievable escarpments with challenging rock faces, which attract thousands of international rock climbers. We drove through the Grampian mountain range from west to east following a very frightening narrow road. I'm glad I was driving and close to the middle of the road because Rolande, who doesn't have a fear of heights, kept telling me to steer away from the steep

edge. The Grampians compare to some of Canada's most rugged terrain with beautiful waterfalls falling over sheer cliffs. We were pleased to visit an air-conditioned, well-appointed Aboriginal display in the park and paid to see a recorded dance of the local peoples' creation story.
We like to get off the main roads and drive through the countryside unhindered by the big trucks, which populate the major highways. It is a lot of fun but you must remember the Australian road builders in the past didn't like to put much of a roadbed down and so the driver must put up with the "undulations" of the roads. Sometimes, after driving on undulating roads for hundreds of kilometers you will see a sign saying "undulations for the next five kilometers". I remember in 1988 the kids loving it, wanting us to go faster so they could have a better "boat ride".
We stayed for two nights at Maryborough where the temp went to a top of 42. I spent most of the day at the public pool next to the caravan park enjoying the sun, the cool water and the interactions of the people. Except for a trio of teens
Wallaby looking out from grass tree
the well utilized pool was filled with all ages of well-behaved happy swimmers. I was entertained when a large man with a big gut held a foul-mouthed, racist teen up against a concrete wall with his stomach. He obviously knew exactly what he was doing because he held his hands behind his back, stuck his face in the young lads face and calmly told the young man he should not bully or verbally abuse these exchange students. This was all going on as the kid used very bad language and tried to wale on the man while his friend tried to slug him. The kid's friend got the worst of it when the man's arm suddenly came up in a defensive posture hitting the young man in the jaw knocking him backwards on the concrete. The air was blue with foul language from the teens as three young lifeguards hovered around the periphery. Finally the manager who was also a large older man arrived and diffused the situation. I was worried the host father was going to have a heart attack. I had watched the four Asian boys being mercilessly tormented by the young Australians and was pleased to see
Aboriginal art in Grampians
the manager ceremoniously escort the misbehaving teens out of the pool area. For the next hour the pool was abuzz with talk of the incident.
Ther's gold in them thar hills.That evening we were entertained by an amazing Australian couple who hadn't lived in one spot for twenty years. They towed a top of the line dual air-conditioned caravan with a Toyota 4x4 ute with a multiple doored accessory deck. They wondered if we would like to see some treasures they had found with their very sophisticated metal detectors. He pulled out some jewelry boxes filled with gold nuggets on chains. He had mounted them himself and some he had inlaid Australian gems. I think he saw the gold fever in my eyes when I told him I had never held an actual gold nugget in my hands. Before long he brought out working dice made of pure gold with diamonds as the markers for only $2400 and buckets of gold nuggets some, which had quarts bits in them, were the size of my fist. He also had lots of antique coins like square Australian pennies from 1903 worth a lot more than gold. Life for them consisted of
Gold horseshoes for sale
treasure hunting in The Northern Territory in the winter, sometimes selling a few kilograms of gold before returning to the beaches of South Australia in the summer to fish and treasure hunt around the old gold fields of Maryborough. I felt honored they would trust us around so much wealth. In retrospect I should have bought some of his treasures because he was selling the gold for less than current bullion prices.
I felt very clever retiring for the night into our 24*C air conditioned ambulance. I hadn't want to spend up to $3000 to install air conditioning in the van but after a 40-degree day at Smoky Bay I started looking around for alternatives and guess what? Bunnings came through with a portable air conditioner on sale for $300. We slept like we were in a deluxe air-conditioned room. The next step is to buy a generator so we can bush camp in the heat and of course Bunnings has one for $780. I would buy it if I were planning to stay.
A long time ago I had a memorable hike from the Comox glacier to Buttle lake with a friend who now lives in Melbourne.
Gold nuggets
We looked Dan and Lisa White up, they wanted us to visit, and they wanted us to go camping with them. Dan is an extreme athlete, some thirteen years younger than me. When I was young and fit I loved hanging out with Dan but this time I was a bit worried he would run me ragged. I was lucky, (not so for Dan). He is recovering from an injury, and he wouldn't even go bicycle riding with me. He has a wonderful house in a very quiet area of Melbourne. His daughter Andrea insisted we use her room to give us a break from sleeping in the van and his son Alex lent Dan his car so he could show us around.
Twice we put our bicycles on the train, a five-minute walk from Dan's house, and traveled into the city. This year Melbourne won the honor of being the most livable city on the planet beating out Vancouver. We rode our bicycles through the city on paths suspended under freeways, though endless parks, residential areas, sharing the river with rowing teams stroking their eight man rowing shells in the river while we rode on floating bicycle paths
Rower's racing bicycles
Rower's on river beside floating bike trail
beside them and into the central plazas without sharing the road with cars. It is a special place with emphasis on courteous sharing of the paths with pedestrians but a bit frightening when packs of mad extreme cyclists ride by you at forty ks on their $10,000 carbon fiber bikes dressed in tight colorful spandex.
Dan and Lisa rented an Apollo campervan for the weekend instructing us to meet them in Port Fairy about three hundred ks west of Melbourne. We took the longer Great Ocean road and they took the shorter high road. The Great Ocean Road is spectacular with narrow roads along cliff faces, wonderful vistas of blue sea crashing against rocky headlands, white beaches covered with people, through gum forests and well laid out paths to the shore to see sights like the Twelve Apostles. We stayed the night camping behind a roadhouse because the caravan parks were full. We had a wonderful time sharing campsites with Dan and Lisa at Port Fairy. We just happened to be there at the same time as the hot-rod convention was on. Yes the parks were full of much loved hot rods with giant turbo charged V8 engines rattling
Melbourne's Chinatown
around with their well behaved older heavily tattooed owners drinking beer and sharing stories of how they had outsmarted the cops. I was horrified to talk to a truck driver who told stories of chasing someone who had pissed him off through town with two trailers, caught him and ran him off the road. The message was clear - don't mess with the truck drivers because they rule the road. Ninety-nine percent of the trucks we encounter on the roads have been overly courteous and patient but we have had a couple of near death incidents with truck drivers who like to play deadly games on the highways. Now who was worried about us crossing the Pacific Ocean in a small boat??
Port Fairy has a sign as you enter saying it is the most livable town in the world with a population under 20,000. We loved our stay in Port Fairy because it is charming with tree lined streets and bicycle paths that go everywhere. The architecture is beautiful- old blue stone along protected waterways harboring long rows of colorful ships of all descriptions tied to the docks which double as walkways. But it was also because of

the company. It occurred to us the only Canadians we have seen other than Dan and Lisa were a couple of prairie farmers who had come to help with the wheat harvest in Western Australia last November. Sharing time with Canadians was very pleasant. It seemed so easy to talk, to understand, to be understood and we have so much in common. Dan and Lisa are very happy with their move to Australia and plan to retire here.
We departed late Sunday, stopped for a late lunch, had a nap and then did some street camping next to a beach in a lovely parking lot near to the Tasmanian ferry terminal in anticipation of our early morning departure. January 14 we took the 10 hour ferry ride to Tasmania.

International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT) Launches Inaugural Cell Therapy Commercial Development Focus Group on Peripheral Vascular Disease.
industry, regulatory experts, therapeutic societies and translational
centers to advance emerging cellular therapies, ISCT announces its
first commercial development focus group addressing Cell Therapies for
Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD).
PVD is a condition in which the arteries that carry blood to the arms or
legs become narrowed or clogged. In a primary care population defined
by age and common risk factors the prevalence of PVD is approximately
one in three(1)(. )Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) is a very severe condition of PVD with
patients suffering severe pain and skin ulcers which can lead to limb
amputation. CLI has a 15-30% mortality rate at 5 years.(2) .
To address this debilitating condition ISCT has created a progressive
forum to unite an expert panel and facilitate in depth, open discussion
of whether, and how, cell therapy can meet the unmet needs of these
patients. The focus group will take place in
2011 in partnership with the Cardiovascular Research Foundation
(www.crf.org), sponsor of the Sixth International Conference on Cell
Therapy for Cardiovascular Disease.
"As we enter the era of 300+ patient Phase 3 studies, it is crucial for
the research community to identify appropriate end points that
correlate with meaningful clinical outcomes", said Warren Sherman, MD,
Director, Regenerative Cardiovascular Research at The Jack H. Skirball
Center for Cardiovascular Research. "From there, trial design can be
optimized to assess clinical efficacy and, hopefully, improve outcomes
of patients with CLI. These patients have a very poor prognosis. To
help them with cell-based therapy would be a huge advance, and would
have implications for patients with vascular disease of other organ
this series of focus groups is the latest initiative through which ISCT
is building alignment with academia and industry to expedite the
development and maturation of the field and ultimately bring cell
therapy treatments to patients faster. It is ISCT's intent that the
international field of cell therapy and regenerative medicine will be
able to benefit from the focus groups through public open access to the
final report and outcomes as published in per reviewed journals".
Visit www.celltherapyfocusgroups.com for further information on the agenda and registration details.
The ISCT focus group initiative follows the successful launch of ISCT's
Industry Community in

A little while back I received a sample of Nàdurra First Fill Selection only to get all full of horrible cold when the time came to taste it. Hmph. After recovering from this particular malady, I then promptly succumbed to some kind of debilitating manflu straight away! (But that's another story, with another untasted sample staring at me throughout, goading me to get better. Or at least recover the sense of smell...)
Fortunately, between these two bouts of sub-optimum health (during which I was ejected from MoM towers as they rightly feared I'd infect the populous) I did at least manage to find some time to try this new Glenlivet! It's also now in stock and available to buy, so it seems like a good time to pop some thoughts on the ol' blog.

This is the final instalment in my series on Tasmanian Whisky and we begin with William McHenry and Sons; a distillery located about as remotely as you could imagine, on the southeastern tip of Tasmania.
The distillery has its connections with the Gaelic whisky world; the owner, William McHenry, being a descendant of an Isle of Skye whisky smuggler. By trade, McHenry was in the pharmaceutical industry, and lived in Sydney, and one balmy Australian day at a barbecue, a friend made a passing comment about William's Scottish roots, and the idea of making a whisky in honour of them. A few years later, McHenry moved with his family to Tasmania, settling on a beautiful 100-acre estate close to Port Arthur, an historic penal colony.

Born in London in 1788, George Frederick Read was an illustrious merchant, believed to have brought one of the first merchant vessels through the Torres Straight (which runs between Papua New Guinea and northern Australia). During his career, he traded between India, China and Australia, though it was in the latter country in which settled, first in a town allotment in Sydney, then later, owing to asthma, in Hobart, Tasmania's largest city.

Back in the day, you would have to saunter on down to a speakeasy to get yourself a top notch cocktail. These days, such treats can be enjoyed from the comfort of your own sofa/chaise longue/chair shaped like a hand, thanks to the wonder of Pre-Bottled Cocktails. In fact, they've become quite a 'thing'. Drinks International have noted the "great strides" the category, and a couple of brands in particular (both featured below), have made in recent years as their Pre-Mixed Drinks Challenge continues to give big kudos and medals to the crème de la crème of Pre-Bottled Cocktails.
The 2015 Pre-Mixed Drinks Challenge winners were announced last week, and awards like this don't just pop up out of the ground (unlike corn - as a proud Somersetm'n, I know stuff like that can just appear anywhere... Probably...), thus we thought we'd have a little promotion to celebrate!

This week we'll be looking at Nant – one of the most critically acclaimed distilleries on Tasmania, with high profile fans including legendary whisky commentator Jim Murray.
It began in 2004, when Brisbane-based property developer Keith Batt purchased the Nant Estate, just an hour from Hobart. This ancient estate was built in around 1821, and since the 2004 purchase, it has been lovingly and carefully restored with an investment of some $5 million. The result is arrestingly beautiful; a stunning estate surrounded by breathtakingly scenic countryside.

Born in Hampshire, England in 1790, Henry Hellyer trained as an architect and surveyor, and was one of the first officers to sign up for the Van Dieman's Land Company shortly after it was formed in 1825.
Later to become Chief Surveyor and Chief Architect, his work in Tasmania made him legendary, so much so that after his resignation in 1832, the Court of Directors described his "unwearied exertions for the company... his personal privation and risk in exploring the country, and the admirable maps and plans."

Balcones' founder and builder Chip Tate and the venture capitalist group that invested in the Texan craft distillers back in February 2013 reached an impasse with regards to working together some time ago, and have finally parted company.
Having ended up in court in August of this year following disagreements that stemmed from the distillery expansion the investors were brought in to facilitate, a number of allegations were made and Chip was temporarily suspended. In November, however, Judge Jim Meyer of Waco's 170th State District Court ruled that the board's actions taken without Chip in the intervening months were invalid, forcing them back to the negotiating table.

Well this one's been teed up perfectly really following last week's post on The Glenlivet, and specifically how they're catching the Glenfiddich in terms of sales whilst placing emphasise on their recent and historical innovation. So Glenfiddich, your move it seems. And here it is: Glenfiddich Gallery, a bespoke online whisky service where you can discover cask strength malts that match your personal tastes and also design the bespoke packaging your whisky will come in!
Whilst there is a certain award-winning online retailer that's provided the opportunity to personalise both the labels and the liquid of your whisky for some time now *ahem*, this is an incredibly exciting step for a leading single malt brand to take.

Austerity measures announced by the government to rein in fiscal deficit will not apply to ministers and senior officers going abroad on official visit. The Finance Ministry has clarified that the "Union Council of Ministers, others in the rank and status of Minister of State, and officers drawing Rs. 90,000 fixed (per month) may travel by their entitled class." The Ministry issued the clarification after different ministries made references about restrictions imposed on foreign travel as part of the austerity drive, which was announced on September 18. The Finance Ministry is trying to contain fiscal deficit to the budget target of 4.8 per cent of the GDP. — PTI

"the campaign has thrown up some strange alliances... Meanwhile, the "yes" campaign will see Mr Miliband rub shoulders with Vince Cable, who has found himself at odds with his Conservative coalition colleagues in recent days over immigration policy."
Listening to the street, people still don't get it that the coalition entails talking to and dealing with unlikely partners. The popular press still castigates the LibDems for reneging on their manifesto while blindly ignoring that the Tories have also had to compromise their ideal winner takes all position, because they're not in a position to do so, because they weren't given carte blanche at the election.
Should the AV take the day, how long do you think it'll take to get away from the I expected XXX from my party because they had the largest number of votes? I think it'll take a generation to get used to the change away from the my turn, you're turn, we'll do it our way regardless method that first past the post has given us.

With regards to compulsory voting, isn't this already on the list for urgent consideration, and perhaps more so after the results of the publics views on AV. Baroness Warsi seems to be one advocate suggesting or airing this point!.
Other countries have compulsory voting on politics and referendums, so why shouldn't the UK. Unless this might lead to an upsurge of spoiled vote?.

I hope we dont get AV as I'm pretty certain it'll mean whoever finally gets in will take some shifting to remove if they dont appear to be doing what they promised us they would.
As for a Mayor,I read the local paper & within it is lots of councillors letters telling us it'd be great & lots of letters saying "I dont give a pigs burp" from the population.As our counsellors are Labour & been in power for almost my entire lifetime,& despite regular rants in the letters pages saying how these counsellors are letting the town die they're likely to remain in the Executive.

"As our counsellors are Labour & been in power for almost my entire lifetime,& despite regular rants in the letters pages saying how these counsellors are letting the town die they're likely to remain in the Executive."
This is a perfect demonstration of public apathy.
The public complain in the papers about how the councillors are not performing, but despite the fact that the councillors are up for election every three years they're still there...

I'm not clear how you think that AV will have such an effect. It is nowhere near full PR, just a minor change to the present system. Even Clegg said as much, and he's advocating it!
Local elections are different matters, where you can (and do) get small groups who are able to keep councils at 'status quo' due to total apathy - but that would be true regardless of what system you had.

Three - and ONLY three - countries in the world have AV, and at least one of them is trying to change their method. So if nothing else, this shows that those using AV aren't exactl happy with it!! Coupled with the fact that we will - constantly - have a coalition governments. NOT the same ones necessarily but some of them and all parties will only be interested in getting into power, never mind the extra cost!! It's bad enough handing out all this money to foreigners but to go and waste a large amount ( whether or not it is £250 million or not ) at this time when we need every penny so we can get out of this debt that Labour have landed us with is disgraceful.
If you English ( and I am a Scot brought down by my parents in 1951 ) allow the Scots to over-rule you then is it not time that the English population started trying to stop this. For instance Scotland gets over £1,500 per person to spend on themselves - why don't the English stop this? It would be one way of reducing the Labour debt!

Spider 9 Not looking for scapegoats or anything else. It is a distinct possibility. The Scots will probably turn out in large numbers and vote "Yes" as is their democratic right. Whereas the folks South of the Border will probably not be arsed to turn out, thus AV will come to us all.
If you thought for a moment before speaking from the gap between your Buttocks then you might see the possible implications.

The same councillor's getting in wouldn't have anything to do with party selection, and towing the party line would it?.
In my location we have had all of the three major parties in control, at one stage or another, all to fail because of constant inter-party wrangling.
People have even stood as Independents, because they thought this might be a wise move, and won a seat, only to resign because they were stone-walled, not just by the other parties, but by council officer's as well.

Of course, some people always vote for the same party no matter what, but if you have councillor X who is constantly complained about in the paper, and they come up for re-election only a fool would still vote for their party if it kept the useless councillor in power.
I'm generally a labour supporter, but in local elections last year I voted for a Tory councillor just to get the dreary Labour councillor out of office and out of our local paper week in and week out...

It has been estimated that if AV had been in place for the 2005 election Labour would have actually increased their seats by about 10 due to Liberals placing the Labour candidate second. Click here
This is why Labour are in favour and the Tories so anti.
We need fundamental reform not tinkering that makes little or no change.

Turnout in Local Elections is typically about 25 -35%, so any so called Referendum result will most definitely not be representative of the overall majority of the country. I can't see people turning out to specifically vote in the Referendum when they can't normally be bothered to vote in the local elections.
Turnout in the Referendum on Common Market membership was 65% with a 67% vote in favour. I can't see this happening this time. Most of the people interviewed by the BBC on Friday either didn't know (a) there was a Referendum or (b) what it was about.
