 I decided to go look at some of your older blog posts, and randomly found this one. I agree, it is REALLY hard at first to claim the title of "Artist"! I had to look it up inn the dictionary a few years ago, and then I wrote it out for a few of my artist friends, (we meet once a month), and tried to get them to claim it! I still feel weird saying it! But I DO. You GO girl!

The Wilton brand was only good for sticking colored sugars and nonpareils to dry icing. But I tried to use it to glue sunny seed noses on Rudolphs, the noses came off and stuck to the bags! I so hope this brand dries well. Will try piping gel too.

I made a comment this morning that I believed the market would be down. I'm right about half the time. However as a professional futures trader of the past twenty years I know a few things. 1. Runs like the banks are going to come to an end. If anything they have probably attained maximum value for the next 12-18 months and they will attract more and more volatility and will no doulbt shake out short to medium term investors. 2. Unlike the comment from ALFA75 low volumes generally lead to rising markets. 3. Good time to sell some CALLs against any bank stocks you are holding. You can make an easy profit and get some protection along the way
a close above 17c on GDY I'd be expecting 30c next week, a close below and the Gap at 12.5c should get filled and we start again
AKM is a no brainer, where is Asic lol
Looks like my ironic post before the opening was wrong.... the miners are doing better than the banks.... Have a great weekend all.
The market dropped 45 points ,i wouldn't call that easing . dropped like a stone
Been investing in the market for 10 years through the GFC and this Is the most ridiculous day the ASX has had. PS There have been many but this day takes all the bickies.
it is a weird one, no doubt there.
Really, why? Doesen't look that ridiculous to me.
From memory there was a day in August 2011 when the market opened 200 points down, stayed there for most of the morning, and then rallied in the afternoon to finished 100 points up.
August 8th? ish? Market rallied 7% from the low it hit at 11am. What a day.
Not ridiculous at all. What's ridiculous is the market is as high as it is. That it takes any oveseas news and reacts positively. We're in serious trouble, manufacturing's dead, producing assets are sold, housing's ridiculous, mining's over, we earn ten times the wages our competitors do, most of the population's on some kind of welfare and increasing, retails dead. here is zero good news other than in a few months we get rid of a bad government and get a slightly less bad government.
it does not make any sense and is ridiculous, wbc delivers big time and the shares drop, the Dow is up and we see this
there is no rhyme reason on the ASX. Full stop
I've always found post market rationalisation to be a waste of time. The market does whatever it wants. It doesn't care about yr price projections, percentage moves etc etc.
Your job is to pick a trade and make sure u don't get smashed to bad if yr wrong.
spot on!
Agreed. The most over-used and un-useful cliche is "profit-taking" when referring to a market down day.
Mostly used, when commentators can't find any other reason for market moves.
Anyone else got some favourite cliches for market moves?
The volume on the ANZ has been terrific this week.
I found Gail Kelly's words amusing. She said "Ask anyone of my management team here and they'll tell you it feels pretty tough in the business every single day in the slow-growth arena,"
Now, what person working in Gail's army would get up and contradict Gail's words? Surely one's career at Westpac would be finite indeed, perhaps "tough" getting another job!!
Wish I could do it tough and make $7 billion a year...1:18pm: Westpac chief executive Gail Kelly has defended her bank's recent track record of not passing on Reserve Bank interest rate cuts in full, insisting the banking sector was still doing it tough despite reporting record profits and a bumper dividend.
Read more: http://www.smh.com.au/business/markets-live/markets-live-asx-eases-back-20130503-2iwql.html#ixzz2SCEnygO3
I read with interest Gail Kelly's comments supporting NDIS [obviously drumming up support from those with a disability who bank with Westpac]. Gail, if you were really serious, give up a little of the super profit and return this to those with a disability in the form of a discounted mortgage rate. As the old saying goes, "deeds not words" my dear!!!!
Another good week...
Glad I am not the bloke who shorted @ 4950 last Friday and CBA @ $70 & $65 before that...it is crazy stuff to short new The Big Australian IMHO
Just read the article on the ECB. It again shows how central banks are notoriously slow to move, requiring a significant amount of bad or good data to move rates. Here in Oz the RBA should have dropped rates in November 2012 as it was clear then demand inflation was benign. If they don't drop rates next week then we all deserve a reason.
The rich across Asia now pay first class even for their nanny.
They don't walk into JB Hifi and pick out their own purchases.
yes to that LG...perfect climate to drop 25 points but i reckon they will sit on the fence
Great result for JBH. Perhaps retail isn't toast after all but just over warmed bread :-)
The problem is you young'uns need to remember that we rich old farts are the ones with money and we like shop fronts!!
Check out the Bond results
Bond results?
I hear that Skyfall did pretty well at the box office.
Gail and Julia sitting in a tree,
First comes ........
Sickening isnt it. They obivously share the same clubs and societies.
hmmm, the policy has bipartisan support
Any government which attmpts a tax on the banks will be short lived. The banks will simply increase customers repayments to cover the tax.
as the late great Kerry Packer would say regarding the banks ...where does an elephant sit? anywhere it bloody well wants.
The commenter who said the ASX would end up negative today may be onto something, it's dropped like a stone since 10:45. I can't find any market moving news to account for this. Anyone else?
simply low volumes.
end of the week traders taking profit with the 'sell in may' doubt in the back of their minds perhaps .. that said the Euro decision was because things are actually bad.. and while the US jobless figure was ok its hardly inspiring ... the only thing pushing this market is the promise of more printing..!!
They are ready for poor US job numbers overnight.
Same old same old.
@alfa75, true, add in a little profiting taking and it all makes - for want of a better word - sense.
The wee timourous beasties are taking over the market again for the friday sell off.
The total value of Bank Assets has barely moved past few years around– $2.66 Trillion.
aus big 4 mkt cap - ~$400bn
. If National Australia Bank's total assets, for instance, fell in value by 6 per cent to $717 billion, its capital or shareholders' funds would be more than wiped out.
its all about PROFIT, and divvies to shareholders! less capital needed to allocate to make loans = more return on equity.
""But the truth is Australia's banks, like the bulk of the West's financial system, are woefully and recklessly undercapitalised.""
Hey Julia!
Why don't you slap a 90% profit tax on the big 4 banks?
That might help ole Swanny boy balance the books!
I would love to see a 50% super profits tax on the banks. They do rather well for a middle man and return 15% on investment (Words from Kelly). Doing well I say!!! Most businesses I know are losing money each month and more shutting the doors daily! SEQLD is a basket case right now.
Lib , no bank stocks?
We the people own the banks, give Gail a rise
Super tax?
So then what do we the owners get? double, or triple tax
For a man with an education, you comment puzzles
Have a lovely w/end
What is a "Super profit" ? Why are banks singled out ? Why does any company making $3B profit cause such concern?
In reality, like personal tax, perhaps there should be an across the board, stepped company taxation rate based on appropriate measures of profitability. That would catch the hidden (ie non listed) companies and be more fair and equitable. Think of the legal and accounting firms and are they any different to the banks ?
PS nihal bhat there are like over 1500 US banks so your comparison is to the top heavy Oz system (with 25 or so banks) is difficult
as usuall 11:30 friday. Lunch time for the suits.
the entire australian banking/housing sector is bloated. One australian bank e.g. CBA at around $120bn is worth more than the total market cap of the banking sector in countries like Germany, Spain, Italy, or Singapore. That's right, one single Australian bank is worth more than all the banks in Germany, at least according to the share market.
Also our listed banking sector is worth more than 1/2 of the US major 4 banks(population 15 times more), just to show how over leveraged they are.
Correct - absolutely correct. Hence why I sold all my physical stocks 2 years ago and only trade shorts. Our banks can only scalp so much profit before our economy runs out of cash to spend.
All sanctioned by the government and guaranteed by the tax payer. The very people it's hurting. A disgrace
big four oligopoly - theres two sides to the sword. 1 -they get record profits, but 2- they are over leveraged, because its 4 companies controlling a multi trillion asset bubble market.
this is the biggest dividend chasing bubble in history, i wonder hows it gonna end?
Banks have been the only reason the All ords has risen in the last 6 months. Forget diversifying, all you need to make money in Australia is buy property and big banks, that is the 'guaranteed' path to wealth in this country
Nihal, German bank stock prices are all low because none of them are making any money. Back in '07 Deutsche Bank's market cap was higher than CBA's is now. Deutsche currently has around $2 trillion in net assets, CBA about $700 billion.
As I said yesterday, the credibility of numbers such as employment have always been a major issue. As an example, in New York Times today it was reported that the jobless rate fell in over 90% of US cities. Good news? Unfortunately not...the fall was due to more people simply giving up looking for work [ie lower participation rate] and no longer being considered unemployed, as against more people finding work!!!
I also understand, that they are moving as many unemployed people off unemployment welfare payments and onto 'disability' payments [through a broad definition of 'disability'] which do not get included in the official unemployment numbers...and I thought my accountant was creative with his numbers. These guys leave him for dead!!!!!
Gail Kelly is a legend of modern banking as opposed to Ned Kelly a legendary bank robber.
Many thanks Gail !!
The big 4 are communism at it's very best. Gov guaranteed but un-regulated (as they actually control government policy making), control the market, cannot be voted out of power.
Westpac declare a special dividend for shareholders but nothing re lower interest rates outside of RBA to those in need with mortgages!!!! This doesn't sound right to me...could this be the calm before the storm to entice shareholders to sit tight as the earnings outlook for the remainder of 2013 and FY 2014 is not as rosy?????
Banks are now nothing but profiteering institutions with zero government control or regulation. There is nothing you can do about it but continue to pay a majority for foreign owners dividends.
Ed, where's the chart disappeared to?
ED: Should be fixed.
Banks will come down a bit in the afternoon, it is Friday, and big boys won't hold any positions over the weekend.
At least, we have seen some analysts think banks are in the bubble territory. I simply cannot understand why people chase yield without looking at the share price. You can get 6% of the yield, but if you bought banks at a very high price, it is easily to make capital loss of 10%. (eg bought CBA at 74, then CBA drop to 67) It would be better off buying it at 67.
It needs to be understood that the big banks are acheiving record levels of profits in a low interest environment. Imagine what will happen if RBA starts rising interest in the future. Banks could, and only could, go much higher
After my coffee break, CBA turns red now, it has dropped 20 c.
What a turn around, from 73.80 in the earlier monring to 72.30 now.
That is only after the housing and mining sectors drive the nation through a recession and markets correct properly without being propped up by printing money or other government guaranteed backings. Home and Business lending for Australian Shores = record profits. No wonder our nations has no idea why inflation is our of control and cost of living is spiraling. The banks are the fundamental driving force in this equation. Think about it.
Well well the asx overlords aren't pleased with Westpac's uber awesome profits and special dividend it seems. The game is coming to an end
WBC has fallen 70 cents, much more than 1%, off its mornings high on fairly good volume. Obviously someone does not believe the hype and is cashing in.
Anyone bought Macquarie Group puts?
It happens all the time, I am oft tempted to sell and come back in, but am scared of being locked out
Not having a fancy program to say NOW SELL , Now buy
So a 50 cent gain is possible on many such days
I find they stay up when say 7mill , say wbc change hands in the first minutes and the days total is 11-12 mill shares traded
Volumes today are low considering the announcement
Puzzled why when ANZ made their div announcement, they soared and stayed aloft all day
the australian bank bubble continues. mac bankers up double digits in a single day. Westpac has gone up over $5 in a single month, as investors chase an extra yield of only 10-20c per share fully franked(incl. special dividend announced). This shows the idiocy of this market bubble.
More so that they are the only profitable business left in Australia. Outside Woolies, Coles and Telstra (market protected / dominated). The other stocks are in free fall for the most part or facing sever down turn in future revenue (mining, oil, gas etc).
I predict the market will end negative today
Might fall from it's high.With Caution ahead of US employment figures tonight.Profit taking in Telstra and traders taking profit in banks bring them down from highs for day in the arvo.
Still be suprised if it was negative.
Banks will come down a bit in the afternoon, it is Friday, and big boys won't hold any positions over the weekend.

exactly wil feng. how on earth are the bank profits and ultimately dividends sustainable, in light of rapidly declining macroeconomic trends(copper,iron ore, china manufacturing, industry, europe, america no jobs)
chasing a 7% yield, based on past earnings, is no reward for risk.
i thought this was a joke, silly me didn't realise you have a crystal ball in your hand ! *Bow*
Iron ore down to $129.40. Will anyone notice.
its a bank and industrial sector bubble. they are even chasing stocks with no yield. they arent going to notice anything negative. there is no fear in the market due to the endless QE, over 10 trillion since 2008.
should prompt a typical over reaction from short sellers... expect FMG to fall to around 2.80 in the short term but should bounce fairly soon and when it does it will be a pretty quick rebound
quick sell the banks, bubble has burst .. its the end of the world!
he he
How many times do you have to be told - if people think that the market can't 'fundamentally' be doing what it's doing - then price rises don't count.
"price rises don't count" yep no worries.
Thanks for the hint.....bought CBA put turbos at 73.72 and sold them again minutes later when CBA dropped to 72.90.
Not quite the End of the World....but still....Thanks again!! :-)
i did the CBA shareholders a favuor then, another weak holder gone ;-}
Methinks it is time to buy some CBA call turbos....around CBA 72.50
Week after next - if banks can gain a little more, throw in a short. I will test my theory. I really want this ASX over 5240.
@Liberator, last Friday you tested it at 4950 if my memory serves me correct...big difference between that and 5240.
My old Dad said to me once "a BS arstist needs to have a good memory"
Bank dividends and bonus payments really are pumping the bubble....Still a way to go here and the US before it pops.
You can only inflate a flat balloon for so long before your arm gets tired and down she goes!

A kwik check,ll find me via name here. Be glad to correspond, chuck around ideas
We measure the years left.
Yes our super and tax after age 60 is pretty good, however it would need to be given the cost of healthcare, transport, in fact every darned thing
I write this as we await Gail to tell us how it has been for WBC this half
And since penning this she has surprised the Market, whoopee, now I really do love Gail
Quite amazing how ones quality of life to be can hinge on a result .
We pin our hopes, us Long players
I have a term dep maturing late May, not so great 280 k,
280K buys a thin walled run down shack in a suburb here, right?
280 k buys a 5 room, 500mm walled stone house , tiles on roof, land garages, , and all that , in Spain or France, in the country
We cannot be domiciled for more than 183 days, or then we cop Fr tax and alter our status here re self managed super
We can buy a car in UK , a good un at 30% of what we pay here
We can't buy sun, beaches
We could have all that here if we revamped how we did things. Not going to happen in my time
Off I go three passports in hand
With the ring of the Rednecks voice in my ear, "if you don't like it Fanny Uncle Charlie Katy, Off
I want to like it, but my God, we are so bogged with rules
To the above who said watch the big boys dump banks> wrong
rotfl... I guess you don't get irony....
stuarth43(44), I could have written this myself, this describes my situation exactly. I am off in 2 weeks for my 5 month sojourn. Its a good life isnt it. Not sure what you mean about the SMSF status and its relationship to France, i have no isssues, i must look up the rules again.
Look into Portugal as well. I cannot recall if it is Spain or Portugal which might through in residency if you buy a property. Cost of living is very low in both Portugal and Spain and house prices are low vs. Oz. Spain is implementing a new sort of tax recently for foreigners. France, I think is great (except the language). Prices for houses are higher vs. Spain and Portugal but can be of better standard as well. Cost of living in France is higher, but overall quality good. Good luck with your travels. You will only regret it if you do not do it.
stuarth. If you are 70 this year and need a change don't vote for Julia. Make an appointment with Clive Palmer and tell him your ideas. We'll back you up.
Portugal doesn't tax any foreign retirement income. And it's a cheap place.
Interesting article on manipulation of gold and bonds:
Possibly one of the less cogent arguments I have seen on the matter. If gold isn't going the way I expect it to then it is clearly being manipulated by 'Wall St'. And shorting futures may be seen as a negative on price - they have to be bought back or gold must be delivered. If the simplest explanation is usually the correct one - I fear we may be some distance from correct.
It's going to be great to watch the big boys dumping the banks and moving into the miners again today.... rotfl....
yeah, big boys have been dumping the banks for weeks have they not!?
Not yet pal.
Hold that thought!
for how long?
The banks are a different story to the miners. The big 4 and others have fine tuned their businesses to the fullest extent possible. From I.T. systems, to relocation jobs to low cost labour. Consequently, the profits coming their business units have consistently risen over the years, and of late those profits are being acheived in a low interest environment. One can only imagine what those profits will be if RBA starts rising interest up again in the future should Australia's economic conditions dictate. The miners, well they are reliant on commodity prices, and many analysts say that commodity prices will fall as in the case of Iron and Gold of late. Banks are solid, miners are not for the time being.
I disagree Gorden. I think when rates start to rise, overleveraged homeowners will struggle with their mortgages and house prices will start to decline. Bad news for the Big 4.
Gordon. Low cash rate higher net margins. These are 2 very different things to look at when determining the banks profits. The tax payer guarantee may also prove highly profitable. Then we can go further in to the anti-competitive market place we are forced to play in.
alfa - still mixed at 12pm. So we can let go this thought now! Where is Jona! 11:10am.
Geoff .. house prices declining would actually be a good thing for the economy .. especially those under 40 who have been unable to get on the ladder instead stuck with paying rents to assist the baby boomers retirement .. over it personally would like to see prices come tumbling to a more realistic level say 3.5 times income ... and they should get rid of negative gearing it stinks! a home should be something we live in not use as leverage or an excuse to pay less tax!

May 1, 2016
MISRATA, Libya (AP) — A spokesman for the fighters holding Moammar Gadhafi's body says the slain dictator will probably be buried on Tuesday in an unmarked grave in a secret location.
Ibrahim Beit al-Mal, a spokesman for the Misrata military council, told The Associated Press Monday that he's "90 percent sure the bodies will be buried tomorrow." The report could not immediately be confirmed.
The bodies of Gadhafi, one of his sons and a former government minister were on public display for a fourth day in a commercial freezer in the port city, where Misrata residents have been lining up to see them.
Libya's leader Mustafa Abdul-Jalil said Monday the decisions on what to do with Gadhafi's body will be governed by a fatwa, or religious edict.

Wei Pu, Chong Luo, Shipeng Li, and Chang Wen Chen
April 2008
Network coding has recently been applied to wireless networks and has achieved some initial success. Researches in wireless network coding have been mostly focusing on utilizing the broadcast nature of the wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a novel network coding framework for wireless relay networks that also takes into consideration the fading and error prone nature of the wireless networks. First, we extend the traditional network coding in lossless networks which operates on 0-1 bits, to a new framework which defines network coding on the posterior probability of each bit. This new framework allows an imperfect decode-recode process at a relay node and avoids possible error propagation when a hard decision is made at the relay node. It implicitly integrates decode-and-forward and estimate-and-forward strategies for wireless network coding to address the technical issues of channel fading and transmission errors. The proposed approach is validated through both theoretical analysis and extensive simulations. Both analysis and simulation confirm that this new framework is able to achieve significant gain over traditional network coding. This new framework also enables the introduction of adaptive scheme into network coding. We demonstrate a basic adaptation scheme and present some preliminary experimental results. The proposed adaptive scheme will lay down an essential foundation in this emerging field of wireless network coding in order to address issues related to link heterogeneity.

Sorry this is late... I completely forgot
Last week DD and I made a "Why I Love My Daddy" book for Father's Day. She told me 11 reasons why she loves her daddy and she drew the pictures and colored them. I then traced her hands and DS hands on the front pages and had DD draw Daddy and DS "color" the back pages. I think he is going to love it.
It has been really hot here so I haven't gotten outside to play in the garage (metalsmithing) but I did make a new Logo for my Etsy Store this weekend. I am pretty happy with it...
Much better than the last one - LOL
This week I am cleaning frantically because my IL are coming so I don't think I will get a lot done this week. Also my carpel tunnel has been acting up making my fingers going numb and shooting pains going up my forearm (so not cool!)
I am taking it easy this week by redoing my old photo album (I'm on 1987 - YAY!)
Happy Crafting!

Another WOW WOW WOW
Wonderful shot. A bloody red day is sign of coming storming.
Cheers, Jeff
Except that this one is red sky at night, so it's Bits' delight. Pretty one, Bits.
Thanks Dianne, Jeff, and not1word ! Well, while usually the sailor's delight is red sky at night, the funny thing about this sunset shot is that the next few days of weather strangely came from from the east, so there was in fact a couple of days of stormy weather following. But ANY red sky is a photographer's delight! (and lolol, this one really was Bits' delight as you say n1w, because there were so many shots that one got to spill over onto my page!)
Wow that's some pretty color you got there!

Photo by Leslie KellyJason Wilson digs fresh radishes.It was a huge year for Crush chef/owner Jason Wilson. He received the best chef in the Northwest honors from the James Beard Foundation. Which is like acing your chemistry final, making out with the cutest boy/girl on the block and winning the lottery all rolled into one. Then, Jason decided to test what it means to serve farm-to-table produce by planting a garden seven blocks from the restaurant. It belongs to the family of one of his customers, a plot that was worked for more than 30 years by her late father. So, this summer diners at Crush had the option of ordering the Tasting Menu featuring greens and root veggies harvested hours before service. Just because the peak growing season is over doesn't mean Jason is packing away his mucked up boots. Read part one of this week's Grillaxin Q&A to learn more.
SW: What's left in the ground as we move into autumn?
Jason: Beets, leeks, onions, potatoes. We are planting a robust winter garden of kale, chard and some hearty cress.
SW: How are you going to use it in the kitchen?
Jason: We are still developing the final dishes but the focus of the dish will be the vegetable itself, rather than using the vegetable as a "garnish" or accompaniment These vegetables are so fresh that they deserve to shine in the dish.
SW: Is it really possible to make squash into something dazzling?
Jason: Of course. Everything can be made into something dazzling.
SW: What's your two favorite Seattle restaurants these days... one lowbrow and one fine dining?
Jason: I really like La Bete on Capitol Hill, they're doing some fun interpretations of classics. And we always eat pho at Pho Cyclo.

Crash.Net WSS News
Lowes opens up top at damp Magny-Cours
5 October 2012
to view FP1 times
The final round of the 2012 World Supersport Championship has gotten underway with Sam Lowes going quickest in first free practice in France, the Briton emerging on top at a drying Magny-Cours.
With wet conditions greeting the riders as they ventured onto circuit initially, lap times would tumble as the surface eventually dried, though Lowes's benchmark effort of 1min 46.727secs would still prove some five seconds down on the existing lap record.
Nonetheless, despite completing only seven laps, Lowes was a comfortable four tenths up on newly crowned champion Kenan Sofuoglu and seven tenths quicker than Jules Cluzel, the Frenchman returning to his home circuit having also been assured of the runners-up spot.
Broc Parkes kicked off his final event for Ten Kate Honda in fourth position, ahead of Gabor Talmacsi on the privateer ProRace Honda and local rider Romain Lanusse on the Intermoto Step Kawasaki.
With almost three seconds covering first down to tenth place, Suriano Triumph's Alex Baldolini, Lorenzini Kawasaki's Sheridan Morais, PATA by Martini Yamaha's Massimo Roccoli and Bike Service Yamaha's Andrea Antonelli completed the top ten.

What is the recommended practice for configuring Parallels Server For Mac on an XServe? The xserve has 3 hard drive bays. What do most people do to maximize uptime, failover, disaster recovery, etc. We do have 3 different physical xserves with PSfM also.
Is a software RAID recommended for the boot OS drive? for the drive storing the VMs if not the same drive?
How are your hard drives configured?
I'm concerned that mirroring two 1TB hard drives and using that for both the host OS and for the VMs will present problems:
When creating new VMs, copying large amounts of data, etc, I'd guess that moving 10-100 GB of data is tasking for the software raid and will noticeably affect performance for all VMs.
If one of the mirrored drives fails and the raid needs to be rebuilt, this probably would bring the entire system to a crawl, at best, and possibly be unusable while it works to repair the raid. Thus it would have to be done during off peak hours. This would prevent a complete outage though.
are these correct assumptions?

Australia Off The Beaten Path Tips by iandsmith Top 5 Page for this destination

The pinnacles at the tip of Cape Woolamai
Walking Cape Woolamai takes, on average, around 4 hours. Yes, you could do it in three or, if you dawdle, it might take you more. As a man with camera in hand it always takes me a little longer but, then, I have some wonderful memories when I delve through the archives at a later date.
You start at the surf club at Woolamai Beach and then east.
Now, if you take the normal route you'll soon come across a set of steps that you ascend and it puts you on the easy trail that goes along the top of the cliffs.
If you take the way I went (definitely not at high tide with big seas as death may result!) then you'll arguably see more spectacular scenery but also have a tougher walk as there's a fair bit of rock hopping involved.
Though it may look like a dead end you can get through the point at the end but, once through, you'll have to climb out. You'll see the thin track where others have been before.
It's a route of spectacular scenery I like to think; you can judge by the pictures I've included.
The second part of the walk takes you along the smooth beach of the inlet, away from the dramatic coastal scenery and past an abandoned granite quarry.
Colourful shop in Montville
Situated on the escarpment of the Blackall Ranges just over an hour from Brisbane, this town is made-to-measure for those who want to put their feet up, enjoy wonderful views towards the Pacific Ocean, sip some afternoon tea and then shop your little heart out.
It's one of those arty-crafty villages that has blossomed as tourists to the nearby Sunshine Coast (Noosa Heads to Caloundra) seek something different from the daily humdrum of going to the beach.
The slightly cooler temperatures as the wind wafts across the ridge and the large variety of wares make this a place to pinpoint on your Australian journey.
You should be warned however, that in holiday times it can get packed, locals love the place and with good reason.
View from Fan's Horizon walk
Just 30 kilometres out of Coonabarabran in western N.S.W. lies a wonderful cluster of old volcanic plugs.
These are the central remnants of volcanoes that dotted the area millions of years ago and have been left prominent after the softer slopes have been washed away and eroded over the millenia.
This area is popular with Australians who like to indulge in that wonderful Aussie pastime, bushwalking.
There are plenty of birds, especially in late winter and early spring when the wildflowers are in bloom, lots of wildlife, clear air and lots of scenic photo opportunities.
It is a National Park and it cost $7 per day per vehicle to get in unless you're a pensioner and it costs you nothing. There's also a modest $5 per person if you want to camp overnight.
In 2013 there were terrible bushfires that rent the area; among other things the information centre was razed to the ground. You need to check first before going there to see what is open and what is still shut. As of writing (mid 2013), 90% of the park was closed.
There are some lovely camping grounds in the park and heaps of accommodation both in the town and on the route out to the park.
This picture shows Belougery Spire (left), the Breadknife (in shadow) and Crater Bluff.
This shot was taken on the Split Rock Walk (see my Coonabarabran pages) but you can walk up to these on the Grand High Tops walk. It takes about 5 hours round trip and is not recommended in summer.
Fantastic Waa Gorge.
This rarely visited gem is one of Australia's hidden treasures. Located between Narrabri and Moree it's not that hard to get to but it takes time and you can't visit there when it's wet.
Having said that it rates in any list of Australian gorges, or should if people knew it existed.
The drive in from the Narrabri end is worth the detour alone. Visually panoramic, it compels you to stop every so often to take a photo.
On the final 19 kms after the turnoff, it simply gets better and better, and it doesn't stop until you actually reach the gorge itself. For anyone with time who wants to have an unforgettable moment, this place is a must.
For full details see my Narrabri pages.
This shot wasn't taken on the main track but scaling a hill on the other side. However, it gives you some indication of how good it is.
The walk takes about one and a half hours.
Even the cows think it's nice
On the newly paved road from Gloucester to Walcha, called Thunderbolts Way after and infamous bushranger, there are some camping spots the like of which you would see in your dreams.
One such spot is called Bretti Reserve and it sits idyllically beside a picturesque mountain stream. Well, it's actually in the valley here but you get the picture.
Located just a few kilometres north of the hamlet of Barrington it is one of three designated places. On long weekends and school holidays they are packed but, any other time you will have them pretty much to yourself.
For a get-away-from-it-all experience, Bretti is hard to beat though Gloryvale is really nice as well.
River near the camp site
The Nymboida River is known as one of Australia's wild rivers. White water rafting, canoeing and fishing are common activities on its surface but, just after it reaches its confluence with the Clarence it becomes temporarily impassable due to a sheer drop called simply "The Gorge" or "Clarence Gorge".
This place is where those wishing to escape the city and spend time bushwalking, fishing or canoeing will find happiness.
You can camp beside the river and listen to the soft rush of the waters as the moon rises over the glorious valley.
You can also overnight in "The Shack" where you'll need to bring your own linen. It sleeps up to 12 at a pinch and has bathroom and laundry facilites as well as a kitchen.
Access is via tar then dirt road and you need to allow about an hour from Grafton and it's not advisable while it's raining or immediately after rain. Otherwise it's not too bad by Australian standards.
There are properties either side of the gorge where you can stay. I've only been on the south side and that's home to Neil and Sue Winters.
I walked from their house all the way to the gorge and a little beyond. It's a pleasant flat walk and, it the river has some fresh in it, the falls can be spectacular.
Neil also does boat trips that take you right up to the falls except if there's a lot of water coming d own and then it's too dangerous. He also has hire boats for fishing.
The property is over 8,300 acres and has over 10 kilometres of river frontage.

A long suffering gum tree
This tree is more than just a tree. It is actually riddled with mistletoe. Mistletoe is a parasitical plant that may eventually kill the host tree by weakening it to a degree where it is vulnerable to diseases.
It is transported from tree to tree by the mistletoe bird. It's a pretty bird with a scarlet chest and black wings that make it instantly recognizable. The mistletoe bird eats the seeds of the mistletoe, can't get rid of them properly because they're sticky and so wipes its backside on the branch of the tree and leaves the seed behind.
The reddish colours in this tree represent the mistletoe so you can clearly ascertain just how far it has spread in this case.
John Hart Conservatory
Tucked away in the middle of the City Park (originally called the People's Park) in Launcestion is an attractive building that, for me, deserves more publicity, particularly if you're visiting in spring.
The reason is that inside is a glorious array of orchids in a multitude of colours and you can view them all for free.
The conservatory dates from 1820 which gives some idea of how wealthy Launceston was even from the early days. The Ciry Park itself was developed originally by the Launceston Horticultural Society and handed over to the city itself in 1863.
The John Hart Conservatory is open weekdays from 8.30am - 4.30pm and weekends from 9.00am - 4.30pm (April - September) and from 9.00am - 5.30pm (October - March).
River above the falls
. After recuperation I thought I'd duck down and see Stitt Falls; after all they're right below the carpark, you can hear them roaring......or so I thought.
I only had my sandals on and what I thought would be an easy 100 metres was turning into a nightmare as I plunged on through the narrow boggy trail trying desperately not to dirty my clean feet. After what seemed an eternity I broke out next to a football field and wondered where to next.
Spotting a bridge I determined that must be it and wandered over. It wasn't, but two locals walking their dogs laughed when I told them where I'd come from and said they'd taken that trail the first time they'd moved here but never again. "You just go across the bridge, up the road and turn right down the main road and you're back at the park". Mmm, it's all very easy when you know how.
They also said the falls were a few minutes further down, past the footy field so I wandered down beneath the spectacular railway bridge and finally saw what turned out to be an excellent drop with bucket loads of water cascading over.
At some time it looked like someone's clothesline had been caught in the torrent with a line and a couple of clothing items scattered far below on the cliffs. No wonder they hadn't retrieved them.
Just a little bit wet...
I was reminded of pop music, "wet, wet, wet" came into my head as the sky darkened all across the horizon and here I was, nearly two hours from base.
Where once there were left over puddles from the morning showers, now there were ponds. In places I had to side step the trail to avoid them. Though I had a spray jacket it, too, slowly seeped moisture until I reached the two hours return sign again. By then I was saturated well and truly, no longer imagining how much smarter I'd been than those who left early.
There was a couple in their thirties there, wondering whether to proceed or not. They had only just finished the 5 day Overland Track 2 days ago and it had been fine the whole way. Now they were thinking of quitting this minor walk such was the weather.
Within another ten minutes my boots started to squelch. What does it matter when
everything including your underwear is wringing wet? It's just a noise.
The track was a series of rivulets but luckily the rocks were grippy still so walking was still okay if a little uncomfortable.
As if to taunt me, just ten minutes from the motorhome it all stopped and the sun splayed on various parts of Fortescue Bay.
Every item of clothing went into the bath, hopefully to dry a little sometime in the next few days because I've since found it the bad weather is here for another day at least.
I later motored around to Remarkable Cave but the full power of the wind made photography nigh on impossible and the rain definitely cancelled that option out.
Feeling tired, I went to bed and woke about an hour later suffering hypothermia, even though I had had a doona over me. Was this really summer?
These days the track has had a makeover and is part of the Three Capes walk that has been funded and proper walking trails have been put in, initially to Cape Hauy.

Tut Tut. Take it from an old 1960s rocker. The song is "Tell Him". "He's Got The Power" is a different Exciters song altogether.

Just found your site. I will spend way too much time here.
Since you live in the village, back in the 60s the only place that had a scopitone player was the restaurant on 7th Ave. and Christopher Street. I can't remember the name, but I spent lots of $$ playing that thing, especially the Jacques Brel releases.
thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Catching Up with the (New) West: The German "Excellence Initiative," Area Studies, and the Re-Production of Inequality
Boatca, Manuela, Human Architecture: Journal of the Sociology of Self-Knowledge
The label of "Westernization," whether positively or negatively connoted, has been widely used to describe--or decry--the convergence of social, economic, political or cultural patterns toward a supposedly homogeneous Western model. However, what counted as "Western" has differed considerably across time and space, depending on the shifting relations of power between the parts of the world that have informed the notion of "the West" as a normative reference and model to be followed. (1) Regarding systems of higher education, reference to the "Western university"--by definition, a label used mostly in non-Western contexts, to which it served as a model--has successively denoted the Renaissance university in Italy, Spain and Portugal in the 17th century, the Enlightenment university in England, Germany, and France from the end of the 18th century onwards, as well as the foreign-policy oriented, military-sponsored Cold War university in the United States (Mignolo 2003; Wallerstein 1997).
The German system of higher education in particular has shaped the modern definition of the Western university during a decisive period in its history. The reforms of the early 19th century initiated by Wilhelm von Humboldt, which centered on the unification of research and teaching in state-sponsored institutions, prompted the restructuring of higher education throughout Europe along the lines of state support for both education and science within university structures, rather than within particular institutions dependent on private patronage, as had been the case until the 18th century. The self-understanding of institutions of higher education and their relationship to the emerging Western European nation-states, the main methodological positions, as well as the corresponding demarcation of academic disciplines in both Great Britain and France--the other major 19th-century actors in the shaping of the university establishment--took shape under the influence of or in direct confrontation with Humboldt's idea of an educational state apparatus (Kulturstaatskonzept), the idea of sciences of the state (Staatswissenschaften), German Historicism, and the Methodenstreit between idiographic and nomothetic approaches to scientific knowledge production (DiMeglio 2004; Mielants 2004). With the United States' ascent to hegemonic status in the world-system after World War II, the Humboldtian university model, which had prevailed throughout the 19th century and well into the 20th, gradually lost ground to the U.S. model, which consequently became the epitome of the Western university by the end of the 20th century.
This historical loss of the power to set academic standards is a recurrent theme in both German academia and policymaking--the competition with the U.S. system a constant reminder of it. That the reputation of today's U.S. universities should correspond to that of the German universities of the 19th and early 20th centuries is alternatively denounced, deplored, or taken as proof of the German state's poor implementation of the latest reform of higher education--but as such it is undisputed (Roche 2010; Darnstadt 2010). The same is true of the brain drain which has made Germany the number one country of origin of foreign doctoral students in the U.S. and in other European Union member states and has prompted specific countermeasures and "homecoming programs" by the German Scholars Organization since 2006 (Jung 2010). The result, as in the case of other European university systems in search of past academic luster, is a renewed Westernization, this time fashioned on the U.S.-American model.
The thesis advanced in this article is that what is currently being negotiated as a policy of higher education in the German context in fact represents an institutional catching-up process that unwillingly reproduces the main fallacies of mid-20th century policies of modernization as Westernization, along with their main consequences for the reproduction of existing inequality structures. …

Did you PLAN to have kids back to back or was it a wonderful surprise?
..or maybe a not so wonderful surprise?
There is 5 years between Destiny and Ross. I was told that I would not ovulate on my own and spent a lot of money getting pregnant with him...
but my last two pregnancies have been a total surprise.. a good surprise.
After having Ross, I bled for 3 months.. had a D&C (they left a large piece of placenta in me.. yea... thats a whole different story...) got my first period .. and got pregnant with Helena on my own.. I was so surprised... had Helena.. didnt even get a period and got pregnant with the twins..
life works in funny ways sometimes.
My first two who are 22 months apart were planned...but I did NOT expect to get pregnant with #3 when #2 was 6 months old!! It's a little crazy!!
Wife to Randy ~ 11/11/06
Mommy to Ryan 1/20/08 & Landon 11/11/09 and Connor 3/17/11
NONE of my kids were planned.
With Liam we werent doing anything to prevent it from happening. I was off b/c for 2 months when I got pregnant with him. With Declan I was in the middle of switching b/c. Liam was 8 months old when I got pregnant with Declan, they are 17 months apart. With Ashlynn, she was the biggest surprise. I got pregnant with her on b/c. Declan and Ashlynn are 20 months apart. Liam turned 3, 5 weeks before Ashlynn came.
The topper is I was told at 16 that I had a 5% chance of every having kids. Something with my pituitary glad and not ovulating. Well I proved them wrong, lol.

Howard's role in the original Iron Man was limited, though in the
film's sequel-baiting final scenes, the character he played—Colonel
James "Rhodey" Rhodes, AKA War Machine (pictured)—is foreshadowed to become Iron
Man's sidekick. Replacements in major
franchises are not uncommon, as fans of Batman saw this summer when
Maggie Gyllenhaal filled in for Katie Holmes in The Dark
But some fanboy sects, who cherish nothing if not brand loyalty, have
launched a campaign to protest the casting change, widely believed to
have more to do with business than with creative issues. The site HowardNotCheadle.com is one manifestation, which laments that Marvel
"thinks just any person can play" the character. "They are sadly
mistaken," the site reads, before a link to a petition to Marvel in protest of the move.
Cheadle, to be sure, is not just anyone—he's at least as
accomplished an actor as Howard, with prized roles in films like Hotel
Rwanda and Crash in his recent past. But Howard has publicly echoed and
perhaps bolstered the fans' message, saying the news had come to him from a
third party without warning. "It was the surprise of a lifetime," he told NPR. "There
was no explanation, [the contract] just up and vanished."
Contracts in Hollywood, he said, "aren't worth the paper that they're printed on sometimes."
A reversal from Marvel, of course, is unlikely, especially since the web grumbling is muted as far as gross-roots campaigns from fans go.
Besides, with Robert Downey Jr. set to return for at least two Iron Man sequels
and a swift effort to put the next movie in theaters by May 2010
underway, the complaints will no doubt be short-lived.Related links:News: Marvel links with Paramount; Iron Man 2, more on wayNews: Iron Man 2 to begin production soon, or maybe notReview: Iron Man

do we think that Harbaugh would bring his offensive staff and encourage Andrew Luck to enter the draft?
If so would the 49ers trade up to get him?
I would love for this to happen and with Jed York's recent Money is no object talk he seems to be ready to take the rest of the NFL Hostage at any moment
Again if this is already a post I totally apologize Go easy on me Mods

Gone are the days when slipping two fingers between your crush's thighs while making out at the movies was your ultimate achievable sexual goal. For many women, though, their fingers remain as useful as yours were before you discovered your nifty erectile abilities. Four Finger Club showcases the digital dexterity of pornstars straight, bisexual, and lesbian, but only shoots them in a sapphic context. As they lap and lick and poke and purr their collective way through almost 400 scenes, you might start to wonder about your own effectiveness as a lover. Fair enough, too, 'cause once you've seen these sluts bring each other to new heights of ecstasy, your own style of "deep dickin'" might not seem quite adequate ever again.
Shemale have all the fun. Well, if Wild Shemale Orgies is anything to go by, they do! After all, try getting a straight cis-male or female to move so fluidly between topping and bottoming, between sucking dick and having their dick sucked, and you'll soon see the marvelous adult entertainment value offered by trans-babes. Wild Shemale Orgies only rarely involves more than four people, could us an injection of new content, and hasn't yet reach the 1080p HD benchmark, but it's still one of the most entertaining shemale group sex sites around.
Trans-women, often referred to somewhat cruelly as chicks-with-dicks or ladyboys or shemales, don't usually make appearances in mainstream porn, having been relegated to an even more obscure sub-set of the adult industry than their gay and lesbian compatriots. Thanks to the open-minded and courageously anti-careerist Ava Devine, Angelina Valentine, and Alura Jenson though, Pornstars Love T-Girls brings you a thick 'n' juicy serving of porn's most daring women fucking and being fucked by versatile trans-babes and their throbbing cocks. (Sure, you can maintain your staunch heterosexuality here, dude, just keep ogling Ava Devine!)

The sucking of an erect penis was never more talked about than in 1972 when legendary adult film Deep Throat was unleashed upon the world. Now a website with a very similar name is making waves once again thanks to its devotion to fellatio. Wait, no it's not! Would you believe Deepthroat has very little blowjob-only porn and is instead a Golden Age archive of classic movies starring everyone from Samantha Fox to Seka, Ron Jeremy to John Holmes? 'Cause that's exactly what's in store for retro-minded viewers heading to Deepthroat with their dicks in their hands.

Encompassing four sites devoted to different pornographic niches - bukkake, group sex/gangbangs, pornstar babes, and a solo model who puts the "fuck" in "I'm fucking British" - UK XXX Pass has ample opportunity to impress.

UK XXX Pass shows promise, yes, but it's far from a perfect inning.

But without downloads, how fulfilling can it be? Tag along with Mr. Pink, friends, at find out!
Turning 60 shouldn't incur weeping and mourning for your sex life. Just take a look at the lusty old ladies of 60 Plus MILFs and you'll be convinced that your sixties needn't be completely sexless. In fact, if these vivacious elderly dames are any indication, it could be a decade that brings new and exciting things into your universe. 60 Plus MILFs isn't a particularly great site, but it does bode well for its aging audience: turns out there is a sex life after 59.

Economic News & Analysis—August 20, 2012
An investor's guide to the presidential electionBy Brian Jacobsen, Ph.D., CFA, CFP®, Chief Portfolio Strategist
The November election matters to investors. With the entire House of Representatives, one-third of the Senate, and many state and local seats in question, the presidential race is just one of many to watch. All together, the new makeup of two of the branches of national government will likely have a profound impact on tax policy, the federal budget, and regulatory interpretation and enforcement. In addition, with three justices at or approaching retirement age, the next president will likely determine the political complexion of the Supreme Court for many years to come.
One outcome I'm anticipating is that the House will retain a Republican majority. Taking this as a given, I believe there are three election outcomes for which investors need to prepare.
Split Senate: Why it matters who's in the White HouseWhen there's a tie in the Senate, the vice president casts the tie-breaking vote, effectively tipping the balance of power to his party. Under President Obama, a split Senate would effectively be controlled by the Democrats. It would be functionally similar to a scenario in which President Obama is re-elected along with a Democrat-controlled Senate. Under Mitt Romney, a split Senate would effectively be controlled by the Republicans and would be functionally similar to a scenario in which there's a Republican-controlled Congress (both the House and the Senate).
Republican-controlled Congress: Significant changes in storeIn a Republican-controlled Congress, the party would play an important role in bringing legislation to a vote. This would lead to the Republicans retaining control of the legislative agenda for the next session of Congress and could result in significant proposals related to defunding the Affordable Care Act and the Dodd-Frank Act. Additionally, there could be significant changes to the tax code and the growth of federal government spending, though defense spending would likely continue to grow (benefiting defense industry stocks). Entitlement programs (Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid) would likely have long-term reductions in their growth rates by means-testing benefits and increasing the eligibility age for benefits. These changes, however, would not likely affect any person who is 55 or older.
If Mitt Romney is elected president, he will likely sign these proposals into law, especially because it is highly likely that his candidate for vice president will spearhead the proposed changes. President Obama would likely veto changes that eliminate funding for the Affordable Care Act, but he may be more accommodating on the other issues. He demonstrated willingness to compromise at the last minute on many programs favored by Republicans after Republicans took control of the House with the 2010 mid-term election.
Implications of a Republican-controlled Congress to investors
Democrat-controlled Senate: A continuation of the status quoA Democrat-controlled Senate is likely only if President Obama is also re-elected. This outcome would, effectively, be a continuation of the existing state of affairs in Washington, D.C., and would mean at least two more years of the past two years: gridlock and buying time until the next mid-term election.
Implications of a Democrat-controlled Senate to investors
The bottom line for investorsThe upcoming election could significantly affect the markets. The most likely sectors that would benefit from a Republican sweep of the House, the Senate, and the White House are health care, financials, and energy, and defense-related stocks would also likely get a boost.
It's unlikely that Democrats can wrestle control away from the Republicans in the House, but if Democrats retain control of the Senate, they could simply keep the status quo in place. That would likely mean continued high market volatility, as substantive reforms are pushed further into the future. Tax and spending reform almost necessarily needs to happen, but it likely wouldn't until after the 2014 mid-term election, at the earliest. A divided government can lead to positive change, but only if you're already on the right track. However, if we are left with a divided government, investors, I think, can still look forward to longer-term reforms and can continue to invest for growth. It just might take longer for those investments to pay off.
