A friend gave me this flower ring and necklace, when she handed them to me I thought they were porcelain–there's a very vintage feel to them. From a distance you really can't tell that they're made out of rick rack! Yes, rick rack!
She shared how to make them with me, and now I'm sharing with all of you readers! The wow of the rosette comes from a few simple steps! She found this tutorial, in Portuguese I believe.
First, cut 2 strips of rick rack. She said that the medium sized rick rack works the best–so that's what I've used. No need to find out for myself, I'm taking her word for it. I cut the rick rack 10-12″, depending on how big of a flower I want to end up with.
Then twist the two pieces of rick rack together, like this.
And then run a stitch down one side to hold it all together.
And to make the flower, you just start from one end and roll it up. I add small dots of hot glue, just to keep it all together.
Until you have this–and then tuck the little tail under and hot glue it down. I also glue a small circle of felt or fleece on the back, just to finish it off. To make your flower wearable glue it on a ring blank, a necklace, or on clips for little girl's hair. Can you think of other fun places to put these rosettes?
You'll notice all of the petals are closed, so to open them up you just peel them back one by one. Until it looks like a flower. As you wear it, the petals tend to close up, so re-opening it will be necessary. Unless you prefer it closed of course.
And here it is on my finger. A totally crafty cocktail ring.
(Please excuse my hands, my hand model moved to Indiana, so I'm left using what I've got 🙂

This is the cutest thing ever. My husband just bought me my first sewing machine and I think this might be one of my first projects. Thank you for sharing the tutorial! 🙂
There are so many flower tutorials out there, and this is a great one! Ric rac, who would have guessed? Thanks for the tutorial!!
Jenn Says: March 16, 2011 at 7:56 am
Just ANOTHER reason why I need a sewing machine! LOL! I love it!
This is so cool!! Thanks for the great idea!
WHOA!! These are fantastic!!! 🙂
Jamie Says: March 16, 2011 at 9:10 am
Nikkala! This takes the CAKE!
LOVE this! How unique and fun! I'll be featuring it on my blog at the end of the month – all credit linked back here!
Thank you so much for these directions. I saw these made up someplace and purchased my ric rac yesterday wondering if I'd get it together right. Well thanks to you I can practice correctly.
this is SO cool I can't wait to try it out
Love this! Can't wait to make some cute hair barrettes for my daughter using this method. They would make a great bouquet if you could wire them up in some way? Maybe hold the wire in the center before you start twisting? I am thinking cute Mother's Day rosette bouquet!
LOVE this! Bookmarking for future reference 🙂
These are fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing the tutorial!
LOVE THIS! Thank you so much for sharing the tutorial!
Oh my!! Totally lovin' it!
So very cute! I am going to have to try these with my bags of ric rac… I inherited my granny's collection and have tons of it!

So awesome, seriously creative!
Oh my word – love everything about these! Talk about a great gift idea!

ps- your hand modeling looks great! (your comment reminded me of my mom and i though which made me giggle!)
So cute! And so simple to make too. Thanks for sharing
Love your rick rack flowers, was about to make some myself and didn't know about the trick of combining two strips together for a totally different look!
Thanks so much for sharing and would love to see on at my international crafty linking party, Craft Schooling Sunday, which opens Saturday (night for me, day maybe for you) and is open atleast until Wednesday. Hope to see you there!
what a great idea!! thanks for sharing. 🙂

Thanks for this tutorial – it is so cute! I know how to make all kinds of rolled flowers – ribbon, fabric, etc., etc., etc., but I have to admit, this is the first time I've seen this one.
How lovely! My mother had a pearl necklace many yrs ago with similar roses on it. Immediatley, I thought of this necklace when I came across your post. What a neat idea…..and to think with rick rack! Awesome!
I have seen a lot of flower tuts, but I really like this one. I may have to make a few and make some sort of hair accessory for myself. Really pretty outcome!
Oh how lovely and simple! I would have never thought of it! Thanks for sharing and may the Lord bless your week! Laura Rhodes

cute idea! think hot glue or glue dots would work instead?
I am normally the farthest thing from a fan of rickrack, but you may just have made a believer of me with this tutorial. I think I might have to bend my will and (gasp) go out and buy some rickrack, just for these! Thanks for the rickrack conversion! 🙂
Susan Ayers Says: July 6, 2011 at 6:32 am
Ok I officially love this but I have a question… What can I use or how can I wrap this to make it stay semi open, such as on your ring? I am planning on a few of these as decorations on a display but I don't want to have to continually reopen them?

Valerie Says: July 7, 2011 at 8:34 pm
This is so cute! I just made this and hot glued it to a ring I had. The only problem I had was that the finished product was really bulky and kind of heavy. But that's a small price to pay for something so cute.
Panz Says: July 12, 2011 at 7:17 pm
Your hands look like your model was wasted money!! Thank you for such a great idea. I just love this and will begin testing it immediately. I detest those natty mini roses from WalMart. These will work much, much better. I think a twist of green on each side will make leaves.
These are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing such a clear tutorial!
I adore this! Thanks for sharing the tutorial! I have some rick rack in my craft room, think I'll try this when the kids go down for a nap! 🙂
Mary Kathryn Says: August 4, 2011 at 7:22 pm

Jill Young Says: August 7, 2011 at 4:26 pm
Isn't there a product that is kinda like Mod Podge but makes fabric flowers look like porcelain when dipped in the product? I wonder how these would look like that?
I think that they would look great on a headband too.

The rose is SUPERB! I might never make it as I have never seen that rick-rack in our shops, but I loved the idea.
What I actually wanted to say was that you should never EVER apologize for what you are or what you have. Those hands you apologize for made this wonder! It is what they can do, not how they look like that really matters. And you should be proud of this!
Amanda Says: June 8, 2012 at 10:33 pm
These are great! So easy to make…I'm making these as a part of an arrangement for my wedding decoration. Instead of going out and spending extra for a can of starch, I used hairspray that I had left over from years ago to stiffen the petals up and keep them open! Works great, I just put on a few extra layers in between dryings for extra stiffness.
Rose Says: July 7, 2012 at 12:09 pm
I've made these rickrack roses for years but didn't think to sew one edge to keep it together just glued as I rolled. This will be far messier! Thanks!

This is a beautiful idea! Thanks for sharing. It brought back memories of when I was a teanager and my brother and I used rickrack to gather one side and make earrings and even sold some. Back then you could buy the screw-on type earring backs and we would glue them on the backs of the rickrack. It would look like a cup and saucer. I cannot remember exactly how we made them but your idea is just great.

At first glance I loved how the products looked. They are comfortable to hold and easy work with. Also, each adhesive comes in fun colors. I first tested each item out on blank cardstock and loved the result. In fact, they're so easy to use, my daughter wanted to play with them. My favorites were definitely the 4mm glue tape. What I loved about it all included the "click like a pen" action on the tape. I loved the 4mm glue tape since it works on small pieces.
The tape holds great and I love that most of the items are refillable. Who doesn't love that? This item saves you money and materials, and you can buy a bunch and switch between them all.
All in all, super fun stuff, I can't wait to get more of the 4mm glue tape. Products like these make crafting fun and fast- that's what I loved most.

New London — The attorney representing Terrence P. Carter said Friday his client signed an agreement to become the city's next superintendent and has relocated to the city with the understanding that the job was his.
"He had been identified as the new superintendent, he was told he was being offered the job, they had negotiated terms and conditions for the job that he signed off on," said Carter's lawyer, Bill McCoy. "He had done everything that he was supposed to do in relation to the job offer."
On June 12, the Board of Education unanimously selected Carter, 49, as the city's next superintendent and lawyers representing each side began contract talks."An agreement was provided to (Carter)," McCoy said. "It was his understanding that all parties had agreed to those terms and conditions."
Board of Education President Margaret Mary Curtin confirmed Friday that Carter has signed a contract, but the board has not approved it.
"It's not valid until the board votes and I sign it," Curtin said. "We were waiting for the contract to be signed by him before we called a meeting to vote on it."
After Carter had emerged as the board's top choice and had been welcomed by the community at a reception at Ocean Beach Park, news reports revealed that Carter had represented himself — or allowed others to represent him — as having a Ph.D. for more than five years before he completed his doctorate studies. He also has twice filed for bankruptcy.
The school board was scheduled to meet Monday to vote on a contract, but then delayed that meeting until Thursday. On Thursday, the board voted unanimously to launch an independent investigation into Carter's academic record and financial background, and to defer any action on a contract until the inquiry is complete.
"The board's decision to independently investigate was the right decision," said Kelly Donnelly, spokeswoman for the state Department of Education. "We hope they will take up a rigorous investigation without delay."
Carter has declined to withdraw from consideration as the state education department requested and, as he arrived to meet with the board in closed session Thursday, said, "I have done nothing wrong."
"Terrence Carter applied in good faith for a job, he feels he is qualified for that job, he feels he has been forthright in terms of every questions asked of him by the board," McCoy said. "At this point, the issues that remain relate to newspaper articles as opposed to facts."
On Friday, Donnelly said the state Department of Education's preference remains that Carter remove himself from consideration for the New London superintendent job.
Carter, who was supposed to take the reins in New London on Aug. 1, has moved to New London to comply with the requirement that the city's superintendent live in the city, McCoy said. He declined to say where Carter was living and whether Carter has purchased property or if he is renting.
State-appointed Special Master Steven J. Adamowski said Friday that he has set aside "up to $10,000" from his own budget to cover the moving expenses for the next superintendent. Neither he nor the board have paid for Carter's moving expenses, he said.
"These expenses are for the new superintendent, assuming that there is a contract with the new superintendent," Adamowski said. "They would not be spent until that has occurred, so I would not be authorizing (payment of) moving expenses except to an individual the board had a contract with."
Adamowski said he has also budgeted money from his annual $1.1 million support funds to cover the difference between whatever salary the board agrees to pay the new superintendent and the $164,631 the board budgeted for a superintendent's salary this fiscal year.
Adamowski's funds have been used to pay the bill for McPherson & Jacobson, the consulting firm hired by the Board of Education to conduct a nationwide search for a superintendent.
The board on Feb. 28 entered into a contract to pay the firm $8,000 upfront and the remaining $8,000 plus additional expenses at the conclusion of the search. On June 26, the firm billed the board for the second $8,000 plus $7,364.26 for expenses including the consultant's airfare, lodging, meals and car rental.
Adamowski, however, said he will not cover the cost of the investigation into the allegations that Carter misrepresented himself. The investigation, to be carried out by the school boards lawyers, Shipman and Goodman, will be paid out of the Board of Education's budget, which includes $210,000 for legal expenses.

Do you believe Terrence P. Carter should be approved as New London's superintendent?
Yes. I agree with his statement that he has 'done nothing wrong.'
No. There have been many questions raised the past week that make me doubt whether he should serve as superintendent.
I'll reserve judgment pending the Board of Education independent investigation.
I'm not sure the media have been fair to Carter.

London Tower Bridge Apartments
Just wanted to say that the apartment we stayed in was fantastic. Really good size, well furnished, excellent kitchen with everything you need to cook with and eat off, plenty of cupboard space and a good 70/30 fridge/freezer, comfortable beds, two bathrooms (one en-suite to master), good security in both pedestrian entrance and the underground parking.
I've forgotten the name of our land lady but wanted to say she was lovely. Very welcoming and friendly, supplied butter, bread and milk which was a nice gesture. She was very informative and my kids loved her.
Overall great stay, 100% recommend and when we make our next trip to London we will deffo be using this again.
Thank you from all the Devon wenlocks.

Overall peasant, clean apartment with everything we required in a very good location. However some aspects of the apartment were looking a little jaded (paintwork) and the towels could do with being replaced.
Check in could be a little more organised ie: The person on duty had no knowledge of our booking and had to go outside to find someone who did. It all seemed a little haphazard.
It would also be good to have somewhere to leave luggage after checkout on the morning of departure.
London Tower Bridge Apartments
We thought the apartment in the Circle was well situated for visiting London but we were slightly disappointed in the soft furnishings, towels and bedding. If they were to be renewed,the quality of the apartment would be excellent. Customer service by Fernanda was excellent and the security staff in the lobby were helpful, in the main.
London Tower Bridge Apartments
Overall this was a very good stay, and ideally placed for what we were doing. Just felt that one or two niggely things, broken blind in living room for which we were apologised to for,just felt that the floors could have been a little cleaner,lots of 'fluff' about, appeared to be no where to take our rubbish out to,only 1 cereal bowl, picky I know but overall great......thankyou
London Tower Bridge Apartments
The apartment is in a great location, 5 minutes walk from Tower Bridge and the many restaurants along the banks of the Thames. The apartment itself was very clean and was equipped with everything we needed for a 5-day London break. There was easy access to the tube and bus network so getting around from here was relatively easy. On arrival, the key was waiting for us at reception and although we did not see anyone, we were given a number to contact if any problems arose. None did and we had a very comfortable stay here.

Street Vendors, Marrakesh: 52 reviews and 83 photos
When the night falls, all the story-tellers, acrobats and snake charmers disappear from Djema el Fnaa and give way to the food stalls which will soon fill the air swith smoke and grilled meat and spices scents.
Favorite Dish: If you do not feel confident about your stomach being resistant to the street food in Marrakesh (which is the case for many Westerners), the best option is to watch the scene from one of the many cafe terraces that overlook the square while sipping a thé à la menthe.

Claudication refers to pain in the thigh, calf, and/or buttocks that occurs when walking and may cause you to limp. It may be a symptom of peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
At first, the pain of claudication occurs with a predictable amount of walking and disappears at rest. As the disease gets worse, the distance you can walk before pain develops may decrease. In time, you may no longer be able to walk because the pain is unbearable.
Because claudication is associated with disease conditions that also increase the risk for heart attack or stroke, you also need assessment and possible treatment of artery disease in other areas of the body.
Peripheral arterial disease is very common especially in people over the age of 50. PAD is caused by a narrowing or blockage of arteries in the legs or in the aorta, which may cause decreased blood flow to the muscles of the calf, thigh, or buttocks. This decreased blood flow may cause the pain that leads to claudication.
The blockage is usually a result of atherosclerosis. This is the build-up of plaque, which is a deposit of fatty substances, cholesterol, cellular waste products, calcium, and fibrin in the inner lining of an artery. This is the same process that can affect heart arteries and lead to chest pain or heart attack.
Blockages in the leg are most common in the thigh and behind the knee but may also occur at other sites in the body including the aorta, groin, or abdomen. You can have more than one blockage.
Risk factors for claudication are the same as those for atherosclerosis, and include:
Knowing your risk factors to any disease can help to guide you into the appropriate actions, including changing behaviors and seeing your doctor.
Claudication itself is a symptom of a narrowing or blockage of an artery.
Typical characteristics of claudication include:
The symptoms related to claudication may look like other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
Diagnosis focuses on identifying narrowing of arteries in the lower extremities. In addition to a complete medical history and physical exam, other tests for claudication may include:
Specific treatment will be determined by your doctor based on:
Claudication is usually treated first with lifestyle changes to modify the risk factors for peripheral arterial disease. Medication and surgery may be needed in some cases. Treatment may include:
For severe cases, such as when blood flow has been completely or almost completely blocked a procedure or surgery may be needed. This may include:
In very few cases, when all other treatments have not been effective, the limb may need to be amputated. People who smoke or who have diabetes are at increased risk amputation.
Atherosclerosis that causes claudication in the legs can also affect the blood vessels of the heart and brain. For this reason, it is important to aggressively modify your risk factors for atherosclerosis to prevent claudication as well as heart attack and stroke.
Preventative measures may include:

Customer Reviewswrite your review
Been a great tool to keep a recent purchase of a digital scale in check as I found out that the scale I bought even tho it was calibrated at the place of purchase it was off by .3 by the time I got it home I guess because of transporting it also if the scales not used for awhile it seems to always need recalibrating so this was a definite must have.Reviewed by: Terry from NC on (8/31/2015)
I didn't expect a lot here...but am actually surprised by how the quality of this piece shines through. Who expects something other than a simple weight. Haha well I can say its bringing me back next time.Reviewed by: Race Blakhart from Fresno County on (7/3/2014)
I bought a 500G calibration weight with my Triton T3 and its quality all the way. Thanks again Old Will.Reviewed by: John from Fargo, ND on (2/26/2013)
Couldn't be happier! Simply outstanding to deal with, quick shipping items as advertised and a great price. When does it get better than this?Reviewed by: Dave Metta from Chicagoland on (2/4/2013)
I ordered this calibration weight along with an order for a new scale. When I received the order, I checked the scale, and it was off just a tiny bit, so calibrated it using the weight. Worked just fine, and the scale is perfectly calibrated.Reviewed by: Cathy from Texas on (12/31/2012)
Even though the Jennings CJ600 scale says it comes calibrated I thought it would be a drag if I got it and it wasn't and I had to wait. Well my hunch was correct and the Scale was slightly off. I used the weight right away and it's been spot on since. Now I have it should I need it later.Reviewed by: Carl Posz from Excelsior. MN on (11/11/2012)
Your crazy not to buy from 'OldWillKnottScales' if your on a budget. I searched high and low and these guys are the best deal in town...Any town...Darn friendly too. Service after the sale with a follow-up letter to make sure I'm a happy camper...I may not be cmpin, but I'm VERY happy. Buy with confidence and you'll be happy too. Thanks Will and the crew...I'll tell my friends where I got it. fastfredReviewed by: fastfred from outer limits of Idaho on (9/19/2012)
When I search through these websites for calibration weight and I found "Old Will Knott Scales" website, I found their prices on calibration weights are very reasonable with very great quality! Thank you very much Old Will Knott.Reviewed by: Amadis from Fort Worth, TX on (2/29/2012)
Looked all over the internet and could not find a 500g calibration weight anywhere that compared to the price and quality that Old Will Knott provided. Very fast service. I would recommend this company for all your weights. I looked at their scales for shipping and plan on ordering one from them later as well. Thanks Old Will Knott.Reviewed by: George Dewey from Page, Az on (12/7/2011)

The NFL and its players already had let the world know they worked out their differences. On Tuesday, they formally gave word of the settlement agreement to a pair of federal judges overseeing three pending court cases.
In separate conference calls Tuesday, lawyers for both sides in football's labor dispute spoke to U.S. District Judges Susan Richard Nelson and David Doty to say they've settled, contingent on a new collective bargaining agreement being finished by Aug. 4.
The leadership of the NFL Players Association voted unanimously Monday agreeing to a deal to end the 4½-month lockout. Owners approved an agreement last week.
As part of the settlement agreement between the NFL and NFLPA, as long as a player is not released before 4 p.m. ET Thursday, he will collect his full offseason workout bonus, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
In the case of New York Jets tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson, who had the biggest offseason workout bonus of any player, he will collect $750,000 from his contract.
Nelson was the judge in the federal class-action antitrust lawsuit filed by Tom Brady and nine other players March 11, the day that federally mediated negotiations in Washington broke down, allowing the old CBA to expire. The NFLPA said it was dissolving the union and becoming a trade association, which allowed players to sue under antitrust law.
Now, as part of Monday's deal, the NFLPA will re-establish the union this week. The sides then will negotiate areas that only a union can bargain in a CBA, including drug testing, player discipline and disability and pension programs.
The pact requires that those issues be resolved and a full CBA be done by Aug. 4; no one involved believes that will be a problem.
Doty has oversight for the "lockout insurance" case and a separate collusion claim by players.
On March 1, Doty ruled that the NFL failed to maximize TV revenues for the players, essentially leaving money on the table for the last two years to gain leverage in the labor fight. At a hearing in May, the players asked Doty to make $4 billion in disputed broadcast revenue off-limits to owners; the NFLPA also asked him to award players more than $700 million in damages.
In January, the union accused teams of conspiring to restrict players' salaries last offseason.
Information from ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter and The Associated Press was used in this report.

Looking for recommendations on some campgrounds on the coast, something good for the kids, closer to the beach the better, bike trails a plus.
Looking for recommendations on some campgrounds on the coast, something good for the kids, closer to the beach the better, bike trails a plus.
I recommend Fort Stevens State Park: http://www.oregonstateparks.org/park_179.php , just south of Astoria, Oregon. It has 9 miles of bike paths in the park, plus the local riding outside the park is not challenging by any stretch. There are always kids riding on the trails in the park, plus they can explore the remnants of the shore defense guns and military post, and there's the last bits of the wreck of the Peter Iredale. If you go all the way out along the South Jetty, there's viewing platforms to see wildlife and ship traffic- whatever floats your boat.
If you want to camp in the park make your reservations early. There's a KOA across the road from the park (easy access) and motels and B&B's close by.

Comcast nuked my web page. It will return soon..
We love Cape Lookout State Park, which is south of Cannon Beach, but north of Lincoln City - near Tillamook. It's right on the water on the Three Capes Scenic Route, and just gorgeous scenery. No designated bike paths that I'm aware of, but you could probably ride the Three Capes Scenic Route (or parts of it). Here's more info - http://www.oregonstateparks.org/imag...okout_full.pdf
I think one of the nicest state parks on the coast for families is Honeyman State Park near Florence. The campground is nice, with full services for all kinds of camping, yurts are available for rent (don't delay on yurt reservations), and playgrounds for kids. One of the best features is the clean swimming lake in the park, clean and warm water, sand dunes serve as long beach and kayak or canoe rentals. There are sandy dune trails to the ocean beach, or a short drive from the park to several beach access parks. The park is a couple miles south of Florence where there are dining and movies, etc. For family camping and fun, this one is a real gem. http://www.oregonstateparks.org/park_134.php
Those voices in your head aren't real, but they have some great ideas
Totally agree...Honeyman was a nice place to stay.
Nehalem bay state park is also good. You can bike to the bay from the campground, bike into town (Manzanita, OR), and it's near Cannon beach and the small town of Nehalem. Fort Stevens & Honeyman probably have the most bike trails.
My wife and I stayed at Honeyman last fall. The lake there is great (we have a canoe) but there were some significant downsides to the campgrounds:
- like many central coast campgrounds, it is right next to the highway, so there is a good deal of highway noise.
- the Oregon Dunes are adjacent, so lots of ATV noise. Lots and lots.
- theft is notorious there, apparently a favorite sport of local teens.
- overall, about the noisiest campground I've ever stayed in (and this was off season). It was more like staying in an urban or suburban backyard.
Here's a writeup I did for another forum on mid-coast campgrounds:
Any of the State Park campgrounds on the coast will be exceptional. Many with hiker/biker sites, too.
If you want to go the KOA route, the KOA's on the coast are nice, though some of them are on the spendy side depending on the time of year. They are very family/kid/bike friendly. My wife did a solo trip last year and felt very at ease at KOA's.

If you plan on doing this in the summer you need to make early reservation no matter where you camp. I've taken two vacations in the summer going from Mt Saint Helens then down hwy 101 to northern California. The first time we just winged it and that was a mistake. The camp grounds fill up to capacity fast and a couple of nights we had to make alternate plans. AKA spendy hotels. The second trip we made early reservations at all the places we stayed and it made for a much enjoyable trip.
Beverly beach is a great one I have already done a few weekends there.m Loved it

Tomorrow, this 73 yo will do some mtn biking. I have gone over that slow leaking rear wheel with a fine toothed comb and can not find the cause of the slow, small leak, except possibly the small remnant of a goathead. So, I put in a new tube, pumped to 60,and will check the tire first thing in the morning. Hoping for the best.
I will go to either Spruce Mountain or Spruce Meadows Trail - some of our open space in Douglas County, Colorado. I did Spruce Meadows last year - it is where the Sheriff stopped me for being too close to the railraod on private property. I showed him the map and he agreed. They have changed the map this year!!
Spruce Mountain is by far the tougher for me. I need to leave about 5:30 am to avoid the heat.
Here is a link to Spruce Mountain
Here are maps of each - click on the next showing map for a very enlarged view.

Nathan Rees conflict with NSW teachers
Broadcast: 17/07/2009
Reporter: Quentin Dempster
QUENTIN DEMPSTER, PRESENTER: The Rees State Government is now in open conflict with the NSW Teachers' Federation over the media's right to publish school league tables. The Premier is bringing back to Parliament contentious legislation imposing $55,000 fines on print media outlets which extrapolate performance data to rank schools from best to worst. The education sector is concerned students from low ranking schools will be stigmatised for life. To discuss this and the state of political and policy play in NSW, I spoke to Premier Nathan Rees this afternoon.
Mr Premier, welcome back to Stateline.
Exactly what legislation will you be bringing back to State Parliament to resolve this impasse - the freedom of the press, the parents' right to know comparative data about the performance of schools?
NATHAN REES, PREMIER: Well we'll be bringing back a bill that directly repeals the amendment that was moved and supported by the Greens and the Opposition in the Upper House. The reason we're doing this is because we believe that the provision for information is important for mums and dads to make an informed decision about where they send their students to school. We have, already, appropriate safeguards in our Education Act and the new Freedom of Information Act to avoid simplistic league table information being given out. So those protective mechanisms exist. What this amendment has done has taken it away from a considered, measured release of appropriate information, into a curtailing of what the media is able to report on. On that basis, we believe it's bad law.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: What happens if you can't get it through? I mean, you seem to have fallen out with your mates, the Shooters' Party.
NATHAN REES: Well, look, I'm happy to have a discussion about the Shooters or any other minority party in the Upper House if you like. But, look, like many governments across Australia, we don't have control of the Upper House. Many of our bills are subject to negotiation and we'd like to see this element repealed.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: You've been able to get most of the things through, well apart from electricity privatisation 'cause the Libs and the Nats wouldn't support it last year. Yes, it's sort of dysfunctional now because you can't even negotiate.
NATHAN REES: No, look, I don't accept that for a moment. What we do have is a situation that is unchanged from where it was a few months ago, that is, that we do not have control of the Upper House. Now that's not a new situation, it's a situation that the Commonwealth Government deals with, it's a situation that other jurisdictions around Australia deal with. And, the best way to deal with it is to - in a measured, deliberative, careful fashion, go about negotiating outcomes, and that's what we'll do.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: On league tables, if you do remove that clause, I take it - with the penalty clause, $55,000 for print outlets who do public simplistic league tables, I take it that you'll be imposing your will on the newspapers of NSW not to public simplistic league tables - you'll be asking them?
NATHAN REES: No, what we've got already in the Education Act and in the new Freedom of Information Act is provisions that ensure that the only material that is released is contextualised, rich information so that ...
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: But they can pull it off the website. I know it's in alphabetical order on Julia Gillard's website. They can pull it off and say, "This, this, this."
NATHAN REES: You've asked me the question, let me answer it, alright? We believe that the information should be out there. I think the debate has moved on a great deal since that horrendous Mt Druitt story many years ago now. The debate's moved on. Both the fourth estate and mums and dads are far more sophisticated in how they approach both the release of this information and the consideration of it. Now, what we've struck, in parallel with the other states and with the Commonwealth as part of the 'education revolution', is an agreement to safeguard this information, to make sure that the information does get released, is rich, is contextualised and allows for like-with-like comparisons, so that schools that are being compared are appropriately similar. Now that's what we've committed to and that's what we will do. Now that's a different thing altogether from this amendment that was put up by the Greens and supported by the Opposition, which essentially seeks to curtail the rights of the media to publish information, and we believe it's poor law.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: One of the good things that could contribute from the media, a contribution from the media, would be the horrible realisation that absenteeism, truancy, leads to poor performing schools. And if the media was able to publish this material in a comparative ranking, the whole of the community and policy effort would be to get kids to school because they can improve their performance if they're there for five days a week. Wouldn't that be a benefit?
NATHAN REES: Well, it depends on the location, and truancy is obviously an issue in some locations to a much greater extent than others and we've got a number programs in place to get kids to school. You make a good point: that more often kids are at school, the better their learning outcomes are going to be. But that sort of information is not of itself going to fix a truancy problem. It can be extremely complex, particularly in rural communities, particularly in communities where there's lots of issues at home with mum or dad. And I'm not in the business of unfairly demonising a school or a community simply because absenteeism rates are high. There may well be good reasons for that. It's incumbent on us as a government to drill down into those reasons and provide appropriate remedy.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: Now, Sir Lunch a Lot, your State Development Minister Ian McDonald, reported to have spent $150,000 on his Wine Advisory Council at some of the finest restaurants in the state. Do you now lack confidence in Mr McDonald's judgment?
NATHAN REES: No, but what I say generically on this matter and any other like it is that all of us when incurring expenditure of taxpayer funds have to be prepared to justify it. And I don't mean in an estimates committee, which is obviously where it's going to be justified. For those of us who are in politics, we think that's the point of accountability. What I mean is the person on the street test. And the expenditure that I incur, I expect that if I bowled up to a person in the street and said, "Look, we've spent this amount of money on these initiatives or this exercise; what do you think of that?," I would expect to get a tick. Now, that's the test I use - not estimates, not on the floor of the Parliament.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: Are you are satisfied Ian McDonald hasn't been using this advisory council as a vehicle for his enjoyment of fine wine with his cronies?
NATHAN REES: Well I note that many of the people on the board have offered a spirited defence of the expenditure, and I simply make the point again all our expenditure has to be justifiable to the person on the street.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: Mr Premier, recent opinion polls have shown you now suffer an entrenched disaffection rating with voters and a demoralising low approval rating. You've given it a red hot go and you don't seem to be cutting through with the voters of NSW. Isn't it time, perhaps, for self-assessment? In the interests of the Labor Party, when will you reconsider your position?
NATHAN REES: Well that's pretty pointed. I guess, look, let me say this: I take all components of my job very seriously, and, of course, when you see opinion polls that don't go your way, you can approach them two ways: you can either be disappointed and despondent, or you can use it to fuel your activity and to make sure that you work even harder. Now, I take the latter option. I came into this job and am very proud to have come into this job, but it's a difficult job at a very difficult time. And what we have been doing is very deliberately making sure that NSW is set up for the future. Now, in doing so, we've made some difficult decisions; some of them haven't been popular. But the polls you're talking about, we've had two steps forward, a step back. I'd much rather have had three steps forward, no question about that. But, ultimately, I use those sorts of figures to fuel me, and nothing will distract me from improving service delivery for the people of NSW.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: When I asked you about self-assessment, because everyone watching NSW politics knows that your party, the Sussex Street Labor Party, has a capacity to cut your head off on a phone call to the parliamentary caucus. I know you don't want that to happen, so the self-assessment is directed to you're making your own decision before that does happen. I mean, you were given the Premiership by the party after the split over electricity privatisation.
NATHAN REES: Sure. Look, I think most leaders are their own harshest critics. I guess something that I have been overt about is if we make an error - and in making decisions, a lot of decisions in a relatively short period of time, sometimes you do make an error. I have been overt about saying, "Well, we got that one wrong, here's what we're going to do to fix it." Now, I don't see an alternative to that. I was the candidate at the time; I was supported by the caucus, and it's - I was the only person who put my hand up in a pretty difficult period, and ...
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: Anointed by the party machine, though. The word went out, "We've gotta give Nathan Rees a go and Carmel Tebbutt a go." We've gotta change from Costa and Iemma ...
NATHAN REES: But, Quentin, fundamentally nothing has changed. The only thing that has changed is that the financial situation that the world faces, Australia faces and NSW faces is much, much worse than where we were in September last year. And we're navigating that reasonably well, won't submit. Now, the key issue, the key issue, and the thing that matters to mums and dads in the streets, whether I'm in Bathurst last night and they're talking about these things to me, or right around the rest of NSW, the Illawarra last week, well, are our trains running on time. Well, you know what? They are - better on-time running than 10 years ago. Is our health system going OK? Well, despite the challenges, yes. Independent reports say that NSW has the best system in Australia. Is our education system going OK? Well, yes. In years three, five and seven, we have the best literacy results in Australia, and in year nine, we're second. Now, I could go on. You get my point.
Look, it's easy, it's easy to be negative in a very difficult period economically, and we've been in power for a long while, OK. So I accept the difficulties of the job. But, ultimately, in a global recession, you can go two ways: you can talk about how bad it's gonna be and how long it's gonna last, or you can go about fixing it. And I've taken a very deliberate decision to take decisions based on the best available advice at the time and get the place moving again. You look at our figures for new home loan approvals, for example, or large scale development approvals.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: I know you're gonna list everything, but, Mr Premier, with great respect ...
NATHAN REES: Well there's a reality here, there's a reality here, Quentin, and you can choose to ignore it if you like, but there is a reality here. And the fact of the matter is that since September, for example, $17 billion worth of projects approved by the Minister or her delegate and 60,000 jobs.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: And the biggest stimulus package - it must be galling to know that Carr and Egan and Iemma and Costa were parsamonious as they were. You've got the biggest stimulus package known and you're not cutting through. What does it say about you and your connection with the voters?
NATHAN REES: It means I have to work harder, and I don't resile from that for a moment. Now, there's a couple of way to do that: you can do it through the print media - you can try to do it through the print media.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: You're getting a bad run in the media; it's the media's fault, is it?
NATHAN REES: No, I'm not saying that, and I'd knew you'd say that, and that's precisely why I didn't suggest that. But, I think, I do think there is much greater scope in the past, in fact much greater necessity for us to be engaging directly with people. I got a very, very different reaction when we do our community Cabinet meetings and our feedback sessions, as I did in Bathurst last night, than what you might otherwise expect.
QUENTIN DEMPSTER: Nathan Rees, thanks very much.
NATHAN REES: Good on you, Quentin.

Looking to purchase a new kilo TT... I'm 5'6 with an inseam of 29" any advise as to which size to get??
Okay so I think a 44 then thanks
weight savings.
yes but not one size has all the correct measurements ...which is most important?
I put on my old Bianchi saddle even though I'm still not content with it. Also added a mudguard/fender for the rainy commutes.
I had just slapped it on there, I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet. But I'll keep that in mind, thanks.
Why is the Kilo TT always recommended here instead of the Motobecane Clockwork, Dawes messenger, or other "BDFGs?" Some of the others would seem to have a more road-friendly geometry.

This is a view of the eight ex-coastguard cottages set at right-angles to the cliff-edge of the White Cliffs of Dover immediately above the Eastern Arm Pier and Eastern Docks, the ferry terminal area of Dover Harbour.
To the right, the ground rises to Langdon Cliffs (a chalk downland nature reserve owned by the National Trust) where the modern Coastguard Station is located (photo not yet available).
To the left, the ground drops away to the Jubilee Way bypass in Broadlees Bottom, and then rises again to the Eastern Heights which is occupied by Dover Castle (12th Century Norman, built upon earlier Saxon, Roman, and Iron Age fortifications).
Behind the viewer, the cottages overlook the English Channel.
The terrace of coastguard cottages are considered to be late Victorian, "of brick construction under a high pitched slate tiled roof and accessed via an unadopted road" (1), with the one nearest the camera once occupied by the "Chief Coastguard".

Early Coastguard History (2):
In 1809 the Preventative Water Guard was established and can be regarded as the immediate ancestor of HM Coastguard. Its primary objective was to prevent smuggling, but it was also responsible for giving assistance to shipwrecks.
Each Water Guard station was issued with Manby`s Mortar which was invented by Captain George William Manby. The mortar fired a shot with a line attached from the shore to the wrecked ship and was used for many years.
In 1821 a committee of enquiry recommended that responsibility for the Preventative Water Guard be transferred to the Board of Customs. The Treasury agreed and in a Minute dated 15 January 1822, directed that the preventative services, which consisted of the Preventative Water Guard, cruisers, and Riding Officers should be placed under the authority of the Board of Customs and in future should be named the Coast Guard.
In 1829 the first Coast Guard instructions were published and dealt with discipline and directions for carrying out preventative duties.
