My website hit 500 views in one day for the first time today, and I'm starting to think I should put ads up. I'm just not sure it's even worth it. Over the past few weeks I've averaged around 250 views a day (according to jetpack). Should I put up ads?
Also another random question: Does a jetpack "view" count individual viewers or just total pages on the site viewed?

Exotic bags might not be in everyone's bag budgets, but they sure are fun to look at, especially in the bright, saturated colors that come along with spring collections. That's why this week's edition of Want It Wednesday centers all around them–go ahead, we don't blame you if you get a little bit distracted.
Want It Wednesday
Even though it's still chilly in the mornings (and I wiped out on some black ice on the way to work yesterday morning), there's no denying it–spring is almost here. Even though sweaters and jackets are still going to be a part of our everyday wardrobes for the next few weeks, there's one surefire way to bring a little bit of spring sunshine into our outfits immediately: lipstick and lipgloss.
Despite all the beautiful new spring stuff that's flooding into stores right now, this time of year is kind of a bummer when it comes to shopping. The selection is the best that it will be all year round, but there's limited joy in buying sundresses and sandals when I still have to climb a grimy snow mountain to hail a cab outside of my apartment.
Members of the PurseBlog team have already started leaving our little New York City nest in pursuit of holiday travel adventures (and I will be joining their ranks tomorrow), so now seemed like a good time to contemplate the best-case scenario for what to carry with us when we fly, drive or train-ride our way to our holiday destinations.
Around the office, we're all preparing for Thanksgiving tomorrow (I did a biscuit recipe dry run last night and I'm still halfway in a carb coma), but our minds aren't too far from Black Friday. We'll have full coverage of all the best deals, sales and markdowns on the big day, but right now, all we can do is hope that the things we'd really love to have end up in someone's sale section.

Books that Satisfy . . .
Anschutz, Philip F., Out Where the West Begins: Profiles, Visions & Strategies of Early Western Business Leaders (Denver: Cloud Camp Press, 2015) 392 pp, index, color plates and black and white illustrations, hardcover $34.95. ISBN 978-0-9905502-0-4. Distributed by the University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, OK.
This is not only a beautiful book but also a most interesting work because it briefly reviews the biographies of men who contributed the most in creating the American West. The outlaws and lawmen, the gunfighters and gamblers, may have had more exciting episodes in their lives but in truth they contributed little. Each of the men whose biography is covered in ten pages or fewer had a vision and followed it. Although they experienced plenty of setbacks, they had the resolve to keep working to become successful.
The book, following the acknowledgments and foreword by Anschutz, is composed of seven parts, each part consisting of brief biographies of men who succeeded in a particular field. The parts are: Early Trade and Commerce; Agriculture and Livestock; Railroads and Transportation; Mineral Extraction; Manufacturing; Finance and Banking and Entertainment and Communication. Each part includes names familiar to anyone who has a knowledge of American history, although some names are relative new, at least to this reviewer.
The time period covers the years from 1800 to 1920. In the early years such familiar names as Manuel Lisa, William Henry Ashley, John Jacob Astor with Charles and William Bent and Ceran St. Vrain concluding the section. In the following section several names will be more familiar to Wild West scholars, such as cattlemen Charles Goodnight and John Wesley Iliff. The name of Brigham Young is also in this section because his agricultural knowledge transformed a desert into a productive land.
Although one may have wished some attention to such outlaws as the James-Younger Gang or the Daltons, they were avoided as the section on Railroads and Transportation. This section deals with those who caused the tracks to be laid or coaches to be pulled. This section includes several names we are all familiar with: Henry Wells and William Fargo, George Mortimer Pullman, Fred Harvey and Henry E. Huntington. In the section dealing with Mineral Extraction only two names stand out, that of Meyer Guggenheim and John D. Rockefeller Sr.
The section dealing with "Manufacturing" stands out, and this section may hold the most interesting visionaries. Who could overlook Samuel Colt, Levi Strauss, Gustavus Franklin Swift, Andrew Carnegie, Charles A. Pillsbury, Adolph Coors and Henry Ford? Some of these names are still part of our culture today. Four individuals made the cut in the "Finance and Banking" section and three in the "Entertainment and Communication" section, the best known being Buffalo Bill Cody, certainly king of entertainment.
If we can remember our pre-collegiate days, these names will be somewhat familiar to all. Some of course have become part of our culture, such as Colt, even though we may have never owned pistols, and Coors, although we might be teetotalers. The significance of this work is that Anschutz clearly stated his goals in the foreword and proved by his research and writing that he accomplished that goal. He writes: "The individuals selected were bold men of vision and considerable energy. They were able to accept both the concept and the burden of high levels of risk. Most risked their reputations and capital – some even their lives. They are examples of countless and nameless others who did the same, but upon whom good fortune never chose to shine." [15]
Some may argue on the selection of these men. Certainly at least one woman could have been included, and in this day of political correctness that may be a fair criticism. And was the inclusion of Samuel Colt a token recognition of others involved in weaponry? Did not Smith & Wesson, or Winchester, or Remington have a similar vision? Another may find the miniscule amount of bibliographic entries disappointing, as most chapters have a half dozen or so – or fewer. The sources noted for Brigham Young has but four, indicating four good secondary works. In fairness, however, perhaps Anschutz intended only to list the major source materials for each subject. There is no total bibliography nor are there endnotes.
A gem for all who appreciate history as well as poetry is the inclusion of Arthur Chapman's poem "Out where the West Begins." We all certainly remember the closing lines if not the entire poem,
Where there's more of singing and less of sighing,
Where there's more of giving and less of buying,
And a man makes friends without half trying –
That's where the West begins.

Dworkin, Mark J., American Mythmaker: Walter Noble Burns and the Legends of Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp, and Joaquin Murrieta (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2015) 296 pp., index, illustrations, notes, bibliography, hardcover $29.95. ISBN 9780806146850.
Excellent! Superb! Highly recommended! These and many more accolades are due the late Mark Dworkin for this valuable contribution to the literature of Wild West history. Would that Mark were here to enjoy the full fruits of his labors. This was a project done with true love of the author's subject.
Dworkin's contributions to Wild West history are many, including articles in the Western Outlaw-Lawman History Association Journal, the National Outlaw-Lawman History Association Quarterly, Wild West magazine, True West magazine and several others. He was not new to the authorship of books, his first being a popular textbook, still in use in many schools, Mayas, Aztecs, and Incas: Mysteries of Ancient Civilizations of Central and South America .
The story of Walter Noble Burns (1872-1932) and his development of biographies of three of the Wild West's most noted characters was one long past due. Dworkin's work on Burns began a number of years ago when he started a deep investigation into how Burns developed his account of Tombstone and Wyatt Earp, Tombstone, an Iliad of the Southwest. Dworkin's concern lay mainly in how Burns interwove legends and romanticism into what was accepted in the 1920s and 30s as popular "non-fiction." As he worked on Iliad, Dworkin recognized that he must broaden his work into how Burns handled the lives of Billy the Kid and Joaquin Murrieta in The Saga of Billy the Kid and Robin Hood of El Dorado. The result is a monumental contribution to the literature on all three men, in addition to providing us with a detailed account of the life and letters of Burns.
Especially valuable in each of the three parts of this book is analysis of what Burns presented as "truth." This reviewer is more knowledgeable of Tombstone and the life and legend of Wyatt Earp than the lives of Billy the Kid or Murrieta, so it was with great pleasure to see that Dworkin's section on Earp was dealt with so thoroughly. This reviewer's only criticism is that at times Dworkin's personal view of Earp as a "hero" shows through, in spite of the lawman's known inclinations to bolster his part in many of the events in which he participated and his "Vendetta Ride" that included the outright murder of at least two individuals who may, or may not, have participated in the killing of Wyatt's brother Morgan.
It is unfortunate that Dworkin did not have the opportunity of a final review of his manuscript, for a number of errors are found that he would have corrected. For instance, "John Parsons" on page 208, note 1, should be George Parsons. The Earp, Cason, Ackerman manuscript mentioned on page 211, note 2 has not been part of the C. Lee Simmons collection for many years. "Hank Snelling" on page 214, note 18, should be Hank Swilling. "Jack Swartz" on page 216, note 51, should be Jack Stwart. But, these errors are minor when held alongside the detailed presentation of Dworkin's work as a whole.
The University of Oklahoma Press is to be congratulated for recognizing the value of Dworkin's work and seeing it through to publication in spite of the author's untimely death. The press is following up on Dworkin's work with one on Owen Wister, entitled Owen Wister and the West, by Gary Scharnhorst (2015) which gives promise of more to come in presenting the stories of the authors behind the books.

Frates, Kent, Oklahoma's Most Notorious Cases (Oklahoma City, OK, The Roadrunner Press 2014) 338 pp. , 30 photographs, notes, ISBN 978-1-937054-33-5, hardcover, $24.00.
This book covers six of Oklahoma's most notorious law cases. The cases range from the Urschel kidnapping by Machine Gun Kelly to the death of Karen Silkwood to the Oklahoma City Bombing. The author is an Oklahoma City attorney and he has a lot of first-hand knowledge about many of these cases.
Charles Urschel was the uncle of the author. Much of the research for the book was done in the trial records and various court and other legal documents. There is, however, no legalese to wade through in this book. It is well organized and written in down to earth language. The book is fast-paced and easy-to-read.
These cases all occurred after the period that we consider the Old West time frame, but the flavor of the Old West lingers on in Oklahoma in the law enforcement agencies and in the legal profession. A number of the lawmen and lawyers still adopt somewhat of an Old West or cowboy persona. Language and actions have an old western flavor and a few of these men still like their white hats to burnish their image.
I found all six of the cases fascinating from a law enforcement point of view. The close attention to the courtroom methods employed was also very interesting. Civil rights issues were raised is some of the cases and the influence of Indian culture was also very prevalent in one case.
I found it of great interest that the Urschel case was solved largely by the common sense and good judgment of the Charles Urschel, the victim. He was a very observant man. Even though he was kept blindfolded, he was able to make many astute observations about distances, sounds he heard (including an airplane that flew over on a regular schedule), and the weather. He was able to identify the location where he was held, a key factor in locating his kidnappers.
I was also very interested in both the Karen Silkwood case and the Oklahoma City Bombing. I had followed both of these cases rather closely. I read everything I could find on these cases and both still leave me with a lot of questions. This book did not resolve all of my questions and we probably will never know all the facts. This was another very penetrating look at a number of issues raised by both of these controversial events.
This book would be an excellent addition to the library of anyone interested in law enforcement, and trial procedures. Very highly recommended.

Stehno, Mollie and Jim Fulbright, Western Lawmen: U. S. Marshals and Their Deputies 1850-1920
(Goodlettsville, TN: Mid-South Publications, 2015) 244 pp., some illustrations, endnotes, bibliographical references, ISBN: 978-0-9664039-8-5, 8 ½"by 11", softcover, $24.00.
This book is an excellent research tool for all of us who have an interest in the lawmen of the Old West. Genealogist will also find this a real boon to finding ancestors who served in any of the western states in the U. S. Marshals Service between the years of 1850-1920.
The book was compiled by Mollie Stehno of Oklahoma and written and edited by Jim Fulbright of Tennessee. The book is essentially a state-by-state index of all the men that served as either U. S. marshals or as deputy U. S. marshals in 23 states.
The authors do caution that this list may not be all inclusive. Many records for some areas have been destroyed and many of our early lawmen were not always the most diligent keepers of records. Never-the -less, this is the most complete listing of U. S. marshals and deputy U. S. marshals that has ever been compiled for the states west of the Mississippi.
The book contains an introduction that is a summary of the history of the U. S. Marshal's Service. Then there is a section for each of the 23 western states. The introduction to each section gives information about the territorial days and then the statehood period. Also discussed briefly is how the territory or state was divided into districts for federal law enforcement. Included in the introduction is a list of sources used for each state/territory.
The index for each state gives the district in the state/territory, name of the lawman, position held and all documented oath/commission dates. There are also notes for many of the lawmen as well, that may provide date of death, information about service in more than one state or territory and other details.
More data are provided for Oklahoma than for any other state. That is because Oklahoma was first Indian Territory, then Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory and finally Oklahoma. The various territories were divided into a number of districts. At times parts of Arkansas, Kansas and Texas had jurisdiction over parts of what is now Oklahoma. So researchers will find they may need to look in several places to locate all the listings for some of the Oklahoma/Indian Territory deputy U. S. marshals. A lot of them moved around over a wide number of locations.
This was a real labor of love on the part of the compiler and author. I commend them both highly for their dedication in doing excellent research and then for making the results available to the rest of us. I wish this book had been available years ago when I was doing a lot of research on folks in the Oklahoma area. My job would have been a lot easier. I highly recommend this book to anyone who plans to do research about lawmen of the Old West.

I was sold a certificate for a cruise. When I called to arrange cruise, I learned that there were huge additional fees for "peak season" (-which was ten months of the year) and the room had two small bunk beds! There were more fees for a regular bed.
When I added up the fees, the total cost was more than if I had bought direct from Travelocity. I explained this to the customer service rep. who was hostile and defensive. I asked to speak to the manager and should would not connect me. She was abusive and argumentative. She said if "if you keep talking like this, your not going to be talking to anyone." When I kept insisting I speak with the manager, she hung up on me.
After two more calls, I was given to a woman who claimed to be a manager. She offered some hotel vouchers in exchange for the cruise certificate, which I did not accept.

Terms of Cruise Fully Disclosed
AUTHOR: Mike Burke - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, July 25, 2003POSTED: Friday, July 25, 2003
All cruise certificates fulfilled by Mini Vacations fully disclose all of the terms and conditions of their use. The information about our cruise certificate in your complaint on this website contains erroneous information. The peak season for the cruise industry is not 10 months of the year; rather it is six months. Additionally, there are no hidden charges or terms, as the certificate states quite clearly that travelers are responsible for port charges, government taxes and a small processing fee. Also, the termns and conditions state that the certificate is good for an entry-level cabin.
If you have concerns about the way that the certificate was promoted, please contact the distributor from which you received the certificate.
If you need any assistance in using your cruise certificate, please call our Cruise Customer Service Department at (813) 626-8051.
Thank you.

Despite the best treatment and the widespread use of whole blood, patients with upper-gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage continue to have mortality of more than 10%.1-3 The outlook is even more distressing in elderly patients and in those with associated diseases.
Why are patients still bleeding to death? Has the ready availability of blood dulled our sense of urgency? Is there delay in initiating therapy, or is current therapy ineffective? Are we so absorbed in how well the patient responds to the initial therapy that the operative mode of treatment has not been selected until the patient is in more serious condition than when the treatment was started? Have we felt too capable of our own surgical skills and failed to vary the technical approach in these patients to meet the risks encountered?

Hello! I am interested in using this print for a project, so ultimately I would need a high res photo file. Is this something you would be interested in? Thanks! Liz
I really love this! I love the colours in this! This is awesome! Could I ask a massive favour? Could I use this for my YouTube video? I would give full credit, and links to your page and stuff! Thanks x
Thank you so much!! And possibly! May I ask what the youtube video will be about?
It's me singing She Wolf by David Guetta. I'm not good, but it's an improvement on my last videos. Thanks again for replying so quickly x
wooah that's so cool!
That is soooo amazing!
This is beautiful!
Watercolors? o3o
Oh gosh. This is so beautiful! May I ask what you used?
Wow, thank you so much for saying that! I first sketched the wolf in graphite on top of watercolor paper (not sure if it was cold or hot pressed), then soaked certain areas of the paper to allow the color to run. After I had used watercolor on the majority of the piece I used a black ball point pen and white gel pen to add in details.
Thanks for sharing your techniques! I can't say this enough, that drawing of yours is absolutely stunning... The colours just blend so well together!
Thank you again Jasmine!! You are very kind and I really appreciate it!!
Wow, that's new! (: I really like it..
very unique work. I enjoyed the use of coloration in this piece, especially the use of the greens. Well done
Thank you so much, your acknowledgment of details is sincerely appreciated!
Really cool I like how the red coming from the wolve's mouth dissolves into the background as it goes up. The choice of background also gives this a bit of a spiritual feel to it.
I like it

As with the past several model runs...the forecast area will expect to see the lee-side trough work its way eastward off the Front Range during the day today...followed by a cold front late tonight into Wednesday that will linger in some fashion over the Central Plains right into Thursday night. The result of these aforementioned events will bring an increased chance for rw/trw over the 72-hour period. The meandering/slow movement of the expected cold front will mean best chances for precip are going to occur during the day Wednesday for the entire CWA...trending ESE into Thursday night with the movement of the front. High PW values ahead of the front could trigger some storms producing heavy rainfall like seen during the early evening hrs overnight in NW Kansas. Training of precip along the front could be of concern for potential flooding issues and will have to be monitored. Chances for severe wx conditions appear to be focused well east of the CWA where the front will tap into better unstable air over Central/Eastern Kansas...but isolated severe storms could occur over far eastern zones due to proximity of the front. For temps...today will have the CWA see one more hot day in the lower 90s ahead of the movement of the lee-side trough.

April Shows Biggest High-Yield ETF Gets Most Money: Muni Credit
Investors seeking higher yields as the economy grows are making a winner of the biggest exchange-traded fund that tracks the municipal market's riskiest securities.
The $868 million Market Vectors High Yield Municipal Index ETF, called HYD, has added about $100 million this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That's the most among 42 ETFs focusing on state and local debt.
Investors are boosting bets on junk-grade munis as local finances strengthen with the economy while defaults ebb. With benchmark yields close to 10-month lows, buyers have an extra incentive to add lower-rated munis and ETFs that track the securities, said Bart Mosley, co-president at Trident Municipal Research in New York. HYD's inflows picked up in April, when it added $59 million.
"High yield is leading the pack because people are reaching for the marginal increase in yield," Mosley said. "Every extra basis point counts for a lot when there are so few basis points to go around."
The fund's performance echoes climbing demand for riskier securities across the $3.7 trillion municipal market as local balance sheets rebound from the 18-month recession that ended almost five years ago. Puerto Rico sold $3.5 billion of general obligations last month, the largest junk-rated muni deal ever.
Revenue Rebound
Localities across the credit spectrum have more revenue to repay obligations. Property-tax collections nationally rose to $182.8 billion during the last quarter of 2013, eclipsing the previous peak four years earlier, according to U.S. Census data.
High-yield munis earned 6 percent in 2014 through April 22, exceeding the 4.4 percent gain for the entire market, Barclays Plc data show. High-yield includes unrated debt, as well as securities ranked below Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service or lower than BBB- by Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings.
ETFs are similar to mutual funds that track indexes of equities, bonds or commodities. Yet they can be bought and sold during the trading day and their prices may rise or fall more than the value of the assets they hold.
Asset Surge
The funds held $11.4 billion of munis at year-end, almost double the amount four years earlier, according to the Federal Reserve.
The HYD fund, created in February 2009, reached $29.75 cents per share yesterday, the highest since August. In a sign of swelling demand, the fund sold at about 0.33 percent above the value of its holdings April 11, the largest premium since November 2012. The fund's 6.7 percent gain this year is beating the 1.5 percent advance for the S&P 500 index.
Investors have added cash to U.S. high-yield muni mutual funds for 15 straight weeks, the longest stretch since September 2012, Lipper US Fund Flows data show.
"We've seen inflows pick up across the spectrum of fixed-income investments," Mosley said. "HYD gets the benefit of being at the front of the pack when flows are coming in."
The appetite for riskier munis is a reversal from last year, when investors rejected the debt after Detroit's record bankruptcy in July and as Puerto Rico's struggling economy cast doubt on the commonwealth's ability to repay its obligations.
2013 Slide
High-yield munis lost 5.5 percent in 2013, the worst performance since 2008, Barclays data show. HYD's price fell in September to the lowest in about two years.
This year, investors are more comfortable with riskier debt. Some who typically purchase taxable high-yield corporate securities, called cross-over buyers, are turning to munis, said Jim Colby, who helps manage HYD as senior municipal strategist at Van Eck Global in New York. Hedge funds accounted for the majority of buyers in Puerto Rico's March sale.
Yields on junk-grade munis have exceeded interest rates on company debt since October, contrary to historical trends.
The interest rate on an index of high-yield munis maturing in seven years was 7.23 percent April 22, or 2.17 percentage points above speculative-grade U.S. corporates with a similar maturity, Barclays data show. Over the past five years, yields on the corporate index have been 1.63 percentage points above those on high-yield munis on average.
"We've had some crossover investing that has brought some assets into our space," Colby said. "With an ETF, you have that aspect of liquidity on demand."
Default Oasis
Even as riskier city and state debt yields more than corporate securities, localities default less frequently than companies, according to a Moody's assessment of issuers it rates. From 1970 to 2012, an average of 5.7 percent of munis sold a decade or more earlier and carrying a junk rating defaulted, compared with 33.9 percent for company debt.
Nine municipal issuers have missed their payments for the first time this year, down from 25 at the same point last year, according to Concord, Massachusetts-based Municipal Market Advisors.
"There's definitely a sense of growing comfortability with the broader municipal-credit story and broader awareness of the differentiation between the broad market and some of the headline-driven stories like Puerto Rico and Detroit," Mosley said.
Increasing the appeal of junk munis, the extra yield on the obligations relative to the broader municipal market also exceeds the historical average.
The yield on an index of high-yield munis maturing in 10 years was 6.51 percent April 22, or 4.19 percentage points above 10-year munis, Barclays data show. Over the past five years, that spread has averaged 3.3 percentage points.
"Those yield relationships make a very strong argument for muni high yield," Colby said.

I have an issue: I want to set up a goal like... everytime someone click on a link, GOAL! :)
I have my wordpress analytics plugin ("Google Analytics for WordPress" by Yoast) configured to "track outbound clicks & downloads" and then I have access to that data through "event tracking"; thing is the destination link is on a sub-domain and analytics interpret it as a inbound click so I don´t get the data on "event tracking" as it is configured to track outbound clicks.
How can I configure a goal for this? -> visitors are on http://mysite.com and follow a link like http://go.mysite.com/offer/ -> everytime this happens I want it to be a goal
p.s. I know this is a solution -> create my offer links like http://mysite.com/offer but I don´t want to do it that way...
Thanks in advance

Column - Take down this Rabbit-Proof Fence
Andrew Bolt
–, Wednesday, December, 16, 2009, (7:25am)
I AM often asked to talk at schools and almost always ask students three questions about a film that lies about the "stolen generations".
First: "How many of you have been shown Rabbit-Proof Fence?"
Answer: every one.
Second: "Have you been shown the movie as a great piece of film-making, or as a history lesson?"
Answer: in every case as history. You know, like you learn America's history from John Wayne movies.
And third: "How many of you have checked whether the film is actually true, by, say, reading the book on which it's based?"
Answer: of thousands of students, just two have raised their hand.
And that alone is reason enough for me to agree with historian Keith Windschuttle, who this week called for Rabbit-Proof Fence to be banned from our schools for being "grossly inaccurate".
Lies are being taught as truth, and until the teachers know the difference, it's mischievous and damaging to so deceive young children about their country's past.
Windschuttle examines the truthfulness of Rabbit-Proof Fence in the third volume of his ground-breaking series, The Fabrication of Aboriginal History, which this time dissects the myth of the "stolen generations".
Readers of my own columns over the years will be familiar with the evidence he presents against this award-winning film by Phillip Noyce - a film made with $5.3 million of taxpayers' money to convince hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren that their country is so racist it really did steal 100,000 children just because they were Aboriginal.
As I've demonstrated before, the very first words spoken in Noyce's film are already a lie: "This is a true story."
This "true story" is meant to be that of Molly Craig, then 14, and her two cousins - Daisy, 8, and Gracie, 11 - who were taken in 1931 from an Aboriginal camp at Jigalong, in Western Australia's north, and sent to a school at the Moore River Native Settlement, 2000km south, from which they escaped to trek all the way home again.
The film purports to show how the girls were stolen from loving parents by racist whites in a genocide that Noyce's publicity material claimed was "more cruel than could ever be imagined".
Yet when Craig was shown this "true story" at a special screening in her bush camp seven years ago, she protested: "That's not my story."
She was right. It isn't.
Anyone can check that for themselves simply by reading the book which inspired it - Beyond the Rabbit-Proof Fence, written by Craig's own daughter - even if they can't be bothered tracking down the case documents.
Take the very first scenes of the film, which portray Jigalong as an Eden in the Pilbara - a neat bush camp, where all are clean and well-fed, and in which Craig plays happily with other children.
The truth? Pilkington wrote that her mother in fact often played alone as a child because the full-blood children told her she was "like a mongrel dog", being neither Aboriginal nor white.
The white superintendent of the depot was worried enough to write to the state's Chief Protector of Aborigines, A. O. Neville, that both Craig and her cousin Gracie "were not getting a fair chance as the blacks consider the H/Cs (half castes) inferior to them". In other camps, such children were killed at birth.
That, and the absence of any father to protect her, were not the only factors that made the camp no place to raise a child such as Craig. There was also no school, no hospital and no welfare, other than the rations.
Even now, in this richer welfare era, Aboriginal bush settlements can shock those who know nothing of them. When Pilkington returned to her mother's camp 30 years after being rescued herself, even she was shaken.
"No one prepared me for the conditions that people lived under," she told ABC radio in 1999. "It was shocking. I hadn't seen so many dogs in my life. It was just tin humpies and people just slept anywhere."
So why was 14-year-old Craig removed from Jigalong?
You'd think the answer obvious. But the film instead shows Chief Protector Neville stealing Craig and her cousins simply because he's a racist with a plan to steal half-caste children from their parents to "breed out the Aborigine".
Neville, whose late son vehemently protested against this portrait of his respected father, is shown wickedly brooding that the youngest of the girls, eight-year-old Daisy, is promised in marriage to a "full-blood".
How monstrous, the film suggests, that a white official should object to a fatherless eight-year-old girl being married off to a grown Aboriginal man. How racist.
In this, the film is not just morally blind - the girl is just eight, for God's sake - but deceitful.
The truth is that Neville did not take these three girls under some blanket policy to steal all half-caste children. Indeed, Windschuttle says he removed only one other child in 1931 from all camps in Western Australia.
And as I've reported, Neville told the 1936 Moseley Royal Commission into the treatment of Aborigines: "The children who have been removed as wards of the Chief Protector have been removed because I desired to be satisfied that the conditions surrounding their upbringing were satisfactory, which they certainly were not ... "
What concerned Neville was their welfare - which is precisely what concerns us still about such children, and has us remove more today than Neville ever did.
It wasn't just that Neville had been told Craig and Gracie were being ostracised. A Mrs Chellow from Murra Munda station warned him the girls were in danger of sexual abuse as well: "I think you should see about them, as they are running wild with the whites."
This was enough for Neville, who ordered they be rescued and given an education. A future.
But Rabbit-Proof Fence piles on invention after baroque invention to make that decision seem wantonly evil .
In what Noyce calls the scene that "tells the whole story", a policeman roars up to the girls in a car, leaping out to yank Craig from the arms of her screaming mother.
Pure fiction. Pilkington writes that the policeman actually rode on horseback to Craig's "stepfather" to say he must remove the girls, and "the old man nodded".
The policeman then rode calmly out, leading a second horse carrying the girls.
Almost every allegation in the film of the cruelty these girls then endured is likewise invented.
No, they weren't transported in a dog-box, tossed on the back of a truck, or awoken each dawn at Moore River by a clubbing of the walls.
No, they weren't forced to wear prison-style sacks, either. In fact, when Craig fled, her daughter says she wore "two dresses, two pairs of calico bloomers and a coat".
But none of that matches the gravity of the central deceit of this "true story" - that it was a racist crime to rescue these girls.
What makes that deceit even more unforgivable is that Noyce is a hypocrite. He damns Neville for doing no more than he'd have done himself.
How do I know? Because Noyce "stole" his lead actor, 11-year-old Everlyn Sampi, much as Neville stole Craig, and for exactly the same reasons.
He didn't merely pluck her from a bush town and offer her a bright future, or twice physically stop her from running away. He also knew Sampi had wagged school, and he fretted over her precocious behaviour, saying it was "odd" that she'd once asked him for something, adding: "If you do that, I will give you a kiss on the lips."
He said this was one of the things that "makes you want to protect her, adopt her" - which is why after the shooting he sent Sampi to a boarding school near Perth.
But just like Craig, Sampi fled that school, and the last time I caught up with her she was in a remote bush town, promising to one day go to the local school.
Noyce, to his credit, did once concede to a documentary maker that what he'd done for Sampi was little different to what Neville had done for Craig, for which he'd been so vilified by Noyce's film.
"I suppose in one way you could say that in a different context, in a different time, I'm an A. O. Neville, promising these young Aboriginal children a better life, asking them to do things that are against their instincts, perhaps because it's for their own good ... "
Only then did I hear Noyce speak the truth about our past.
And only then did I know that, like Neville, his heart was true, even though his film was false.
Have Your Say
My 10 year old has been watching this movie this week as school wraps up (NSW Public School)and it to has been sold as factual education.
I find it strange how a film rated PG can be shown without parental consent.
I find it stranger that as school winds down they could not find a more fun movie for children to watch - eg. Monsters vs Aliens rather than some political diatribe.
School is meant to educate children on how to think not to mandate what they should think.
Wed 16 Dec 09 (08:02am)
Windschuttle's THIRD volume of "The Fabrication of Aboriginal History"? I bought and read his first volume but I can't find any reference to the second. Can anyone help? He did write a book not too long ago concerning the history of the White Australia policy.
Wed 16 Dec 09 (08:09am)
Wed 16 Dec 09 (12:03pm)
I've been searching for the implied second volume myself. I can find no reference to it.
Wed 16 Dec 09 (03:29pm)
Ditto! It went by with nary a comment didn't it? Remember when his 1st volume attracted a volley of fire from the idelogical despots on the left? Well they were soundly beaten and gave oxygen to the enemey truth so they've adopted this new tactic of cover up and ignore; just like climategate.
Rabbit Proof Fence, the movie, is shown as a history lesson, as An Inconveient Truth is shown as a geography/earth sciences lesson. Both are peddled as truth.
Who is responsible for this?
Wed 16 Dec 09 (08:18am)
Wed 16 Dec 09 (07:41pm)
Q. Who is responsible for this?
A. The kind of school teacher who, in 1990, blew a fuse at a rural election poll station in Victoria because the Silver Bodgie was not named on the House of Reps election form!
I have a 14 year old aboriginal grand daughter. I am thinking just giving her a copy of "Beyond the Rabbit Proof Fence" to read would be a good thing to do. Being in the NSW education system she must have seen the film. Any thoughts on it would be appreciated.
Wed 16 Dec 09 (08:22am)
Wed 16 Dec 09 (10:26am)
Anything to break the deception propagated in the state school system. You could also try here to search a variety of topics http://creation.com/
Thu 17 Dec 09 (11:16am)
Any chance to push a barrow. The link below is so off-topic as to be offensive. Simple reductionist arguments for creationism are not in any way related to the issue here being discussed.
Good god, even the Anglican and Catholic churches accept the role of science in contributing to our understanding of the Universe, and BY EXTENSION IF YOU'RE SO INCLINED, the nature and mind of God.
I'd prefer the critical rigour of the true scientific method rather than the flawed model propogated by this and other Nouveau Christian sites. The world is not so one-dimensional.
Thanks Andrew for this penetrating revelation. It is indeed an outrage It is indeed an outrage that Noyce's travesty should be included in any category of school curricula. Your opening sentence, however, gives reason to believe that our impressionable youth are exposed to rational thought occasionally at least: "I am often asked to talk at schools..."
Wed 16 Dec 09 (08:22am)
Surely if this film is shown at schools as a 'historical' lesson it would have to pass some reveiw board to check its facts. What kind of education system do we have when anything can be taught regardless of it's fact. Next we will end up with maths book that prove 2+2=5.
Wed 16 Dec 09 (08:33am)
Thu 17 Dec 09 (06:17pm)
Mate, I did a quick poll of the office, and the concensus is that 2+2 does indeed equal 5. I peer reviewed it and now its a fact.
I have seen various references to Windschuttle's "third volume of his ground-breaking series, The Fabrication of Aboriginal History". I wasn't aware that a second volume had been published (I've been keeping an eye out for subsequent volumes). Would someone please help me out?
Wed 16 Dec 09 (08:37am)
Lies are being taught as truth, and until the teachers know the difference
This is I believe a large part of why films such as these are taught in schools as the 'truth', like a 'history lesson'.
The teachers have not investigated for themselves the validity of the 'truth' claim. Unfortunately, this happens far to often, with many political and social issues (AGW, ETS, drought, water shortages, social welfare).
Wed 16 Dec 09 (08:40am)
Thank you Andrew - it is time this cancerous lie was put to bed, permanently. If there ever was a reason for Aboriginals to have a chip on their shoulder - it is the false history of racism and genocide created by the Leftard victim industry. Trustworthy sources suggest there is more to the love affair between those pursuing separate soveignty for the Aboriginal "Nation" and the socialist ideologies driving our legal system. All the poor kiddies get is political brainwashing to hate their history, culture and country.
Wed 16 Dec 09 (08:40am)
Wed 16 Dec 09 (12:35pm)
I sometimes wonder whether the left are a little jealous of the colourful American history eg: slavery, indian wars, the Revolution, War of Independence. etc.
To say that our biggest fights were the Rum Rebellion and Eureka Stockade pales in comparison.
I, for one am quite happy with history as is really is.
I lived in Darwin for many years. Even in that time people were scared to apply the "normal" child protection rules to aboriginal children. So you had gangs of aboriginal children (as young as 8 years old) roaming the street and stealing etc. But no one was prepared to do anything about it for fear of being called racist.
Also, the "stolen children" brigade tried to bring cases before the court in Darwin as the most likely to succeed. The court cases failed but we still had the Prime Minister saying "Sorry" for something that was done in the best interests of the children at the time.
Many of these children felt disenfranchised by the experience but blaming the "white community" rather than facing the reality of the situation they were removed from is fantasy land.

"we still had the Prime Minister saying "Sorry" for something that was done in the best interests of the children at the time"
I suggest you read KRudd's speach, because that is what he actually says. But its still important to recognise that it was a policy that didn't work and caused people a lot of grief. What ever the reasons, people WERE hurt, and they deserve some empathy.
That said, I also agree that the story is misrepresented. There is no balance - but of course, history is always written by the winners - and this is a battle still going on!
What is it with the Left and their constant need to re-write history?
Is it because they have nothing they can be proud of they have achieved themselves? Spending other peoples money and creating massive debt are about all they are good at, besides bending the truth beyond all recognition of course.

Bill O Tas do you really think that or is it your affiliations blinding you. Do you really think schools should be promoting the lies of Al Gore and such instead of teaching to read and write and think for themselves?
Wed 16 Dec 09 (06:48pm)
Bill the big difference is Windschuttle uses facts to draw his conclusions and debunk the black armband approach of the haters.
But facts are the bane of the Left as regularly proven.
Unfortunately public schools are hot beds for leftist, politically correct, hate our history teachers.
When I was going to school in the fifties and early sixties Australian history was a core subject and we were taught to be proud of the pioneers who opened up this country against incredible hardships.
Nowadays if Australian history is taught at all our children are told how wicked the pioneers were and how they raped and pillaged the Aboriginal inhabitants and stole their land and dignity etc etc.
It is hard to believe that our children are being told that they should be ashamed of the early history of this country and being taught lies in place of truth.
No wonder more and more people are sending their kids to private schools to get a decent education

Are things, curriculum wise, any different in private schools these days?

What makes you think history is any different in private schools?

brian i am 37 and i am the first generation to be born free in this country. before you think this only happened in the old days mate let me assure u my mother lived under those conditions my grandfather just to be able to shear sheep had to get permission of the white master of the mission man u need a history lesson from the people who had to go through this .
Wed 16 Dec 09 (06:40pm)
You should be able to take up Andrews challenge then, ruckle.
Name 10, just 10 of the stolen generation. Peer reviewed of course.
The kids are too lazy to read the book, and most teachers are just as lazy to know the true facts. The teachers find it easier to sit the children in front of a TV then tell them to write an essay on the movie. Lazy teachers and lazy students. The poor kids then go to University and do a degree on Global warming, which also never studies facts. Just listen to lecturers tell them the Earth is warming and man is bad. Oh and that Andrew Bolt is a sceptic. I heard such a University student say this on 3aw yesterday. A sad state of education these days Andrew.
Wed 16 Dec 09 (09:11am)
Wed 16 Dec 09 (02:25pm)
Andrew Bolt is a sceptic.....isn't he?
There was a response from the filmakers published in The Australian yesterday with evidence to support the position on Neville portrayed in the film and the background to the girls situation. It is still available online if anyone is interested in actually checking. Even Windshuttle had to back pedal.
Wed 16 Dec 09 (09:15am)
My aunt was a year younger than Molly, just 13, in England, when she was "sent into service" in a distant town. Was she stolen - her childhood surely was? The reason- poverty, lack of education opportunities, work etc.
We have just had an apology to another group of people removed from their parents, or voluntarily relinquished to vanish forever; and in many cases removed from their countries. If that did not show that the policies of riding rough shod over human beings, particularly children, was not a world wide phenomenon I don't know what does.
Of course we have the added problem of colour here, but reading the numerous comments on various sites which have followed the renewal of this debate many people have no idea how the world worked for black and white only a few decades ago.
We can't judge the acts of history with the standards of today - we need context!
Wed 16 Dec 09 (09:23am)
Besides "The Rabbit Proof fence" check out what else your children are being taught. Check their textbooks, the URLs given on assignments, etc. then write and complain to the Principal/ subject co-ordinator.
In most cases, you will also find that these teachers show deficiencies in expression and grammar.
Wed 16 Dec 09 (09:32am)
I haven't seen the movie nor do I have any intention.
I wonder if it contains the usual Hollywood disclaimer at the end that the " characters herein are fictional etc..."

As I've demonstrated before, the very first words spoken in Noyce's film are already a lie: "This is a true story."
Read the article more closely?
This article is a disgrace as are the all the assertaions you claim are the "truth". Try telling your version of the "truth" to my Grandmother, who's father was English and thus had fair skin as she was covered in mud as a child to make her look black as the police came to round up the mixed heritage kids and place in the dormitories. Try telling your version of the "truth" to her daughter, my Mother who was also taken at 2 years old and placed in the dormitories for the same reason. There are none so blind as those who will not see. The Australian public is finally getting to learn about the hidden Australian history and you and your mates refuse to believe that this could happen. Well, it did mate. Deal with it and come to terms with Australia's history
Wed 16 Dec 09 (09:45am)
Wed 16 Dec 09 (12:30pm)
I take it then Wayne, that your grandmother and mother would be amongst those who were not satisfied with the Rudd 'Sorry' and are looking for compensation?
It seems to old wives tales still abound in parts of Australian society.LOL
Wed 16 Dec 09 (01:13pm)
Come on Wayne, how about you give you names to Manne, he's convinced theres a stolen generation and yet can't hit 10 names, you might be able to help him with a few!
Or as per usual, I anticipate your story is bit of rhetoric and small of real facts......
Wed 16 Dec 09 (01:59pm)
Well Wayne
Why don't you put pen to paper and write your mum's and grandma's stories? I'm sure a lot of people out there would be interested.
Wed 16 Dec 09 (05:06pm)
Wayne, maybe you can explain something to me. If as per Mr Rudd's apology 50,000 indigenous or mixed-descent children were 'stolen' for purely racial reasons - why didn't someone, somewhere, blow the whistle on it long before 1997?
It is hard for me to comment further on your mother's and grandmother's case without knowing the details of why they were removed. In the Gunner case the reason was that he had suffered severe tribal discrimination, including an attempt at infanticide by being put down an ants nest, because he was part white by descent. Common, it seems, in the Territory - though not necessarily the case nationwide due to differences in tribal custom. From what you say I can't tell whether this is relevant to your case or not.
We seem to be getting overrun by highly educated idiots. I'm very glad that we have people such as yourself Andrew who have the writing ability and courage to bring those people who spread false claims to task.
Wed 16 Dec 09 (10:03am)
Wed 16 Dec 09 (02:04pm)
Maggie, not highly educated idiots - rather highly indoctrinated idiots!
dianeh if you were a teacher and needed to teach children mathematics would you investigate if 1 + 1 = 2? I highly doubt it. If you have throughout your education that is primary, secondary and tertiary been taught that Aboriginals have been stolen and that White settlers had a policy to breed out the aboriginal gene then you would without any question believe the film. The education department and the education faculties of Universities are too entrenched with people who believe this film to be an accurate representation of Aboriginal history. This means that the false claims are taught to the up and coming teachers, then students in both secondary and primary school. Also those that go onto become lecturers teach it to the next generation and on and on it goes.
Also many of those that go into teaching are perhaps not the people who have inquiring minds and are very easily led, without any investigation, into believing whatever is told them.
Wed 16 Dec 09 (10:12am)
Wed 16 Dec 09 (01:19pm)
Maggie, my daughter is just finishing Grade 1 here in Victoria, and she came home earlier this year telling me how "white people are mean to black people".
That was months ago and it still riles me up like nothing else.
I countered that by pointing out that black people are also mean to white people sometimes, so not to lose sleep over it.
I certainly wasn't wanting a lesson on race rhetoric, but they start them young these days.

Double dose of bad news for Brandon on town officeBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | October 29,2013BRANDON - More than two years after Tropical Storm Irene forced the relocation of the town offices to the fire station, residents were told Monday night that town government has been asked to vacate the temporary offices by the end of the year.
But there was a double dose of bad news when Select Board Chairman Devon Fuller announced that The McKernon Group had withdrawn its bid to reconstruct the town offices. The company had recalculated the cost and determined it was far above the insurance settlement of $160,000.
The board instructed Town Manager Robin Bennett to find new accommodations for town government as soon as possible, preferably before the next scheduled meeting on Nov. 13.MORE IN This Just InHARTFORD, Conn.

Get your cancer screening
Published: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 10:06 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 10:06 a.m.
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Louisiana.
In its early stages, colorectal cancer may not cause symptoms, so regular screenings are recommended — beginning at age 50 for men and women; earlier if there is a family history.
March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, the time of year when the importance of colorectal cancer screening is highlighted. This focus on early detection of colorectal cancer is critical because it is curable 90 percent of the time when detected and treated early.
Early stage colorectal cancer may not create symptoms, but there may be some indications, such as unexplained change in bowel habits, blood in the stool, sudden weight loss, chronic diarrhea or constipation, pencil-thin stools, a feeling your bowel doesn't empty completely, persistent abdominal pain and chronic tiredness or unexplained fatigue.
While colonoscopies are the preferred screening method, a take-home fecal immunochemical test (FIT) is an effective way to screen for colorectal cancer.
To determine if a colonoscopy is right for you, make an appointment with your family physician.
Remember, proactive lifestyle habits can help reduce the chances of getting colorectal cancer — regular exercise, eating a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables, limiting fat intake, avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol consumption.
Being educated on colorectal cancer is half the battle. Please take the steps necessary to help prevent colorectal cancer in your life.

Kangna Ranaut's Supergirl Dream Comes True With Krrish 3 And Revolver Rani
Actress Kangna Ranaut always wanted to play characters with the qualities of a supergirl. She says her dream has come true thanks to her roles in forthcoming movies like Queen, Revolver Rani and Krrish 3. "I am already playing my dream role in Revolver Rani, Queen and Krrish 3. I always wanted to play a supergirl and I am getting to do that. So it's a dream come true," Kangna said.
In Hrithik Roshan's Krrish 3, Kangna will be seen in a negative character and she will be seen as a dacoit-cum-gangster in Revolver Rani. In another upcoming film titled Queen, she plays a naïve girl from Delhi. There were rumours she will be playing the role of late Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe in Queen but Kangna denied these statements. "Queen is the story of a very naive girl who lives in the Delhi suburbs and goes on her honeymoon alone. To know why, you'll have to watch the film," she explained."Queen is one character I play that will be the most sensitive and vulnerable girl ever. It is not related to Marilyn Monroe or showbiz at all," she added.
"Queen is directed by Vikas Bahl. It will have its world premiere at the ongoing 18th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) in the Window on Asian Cinema section.
Kangna also admits that she found Revolver Rani very challenging. "It may sound very cliched, but honestly, the most challenging role for me till date has been of Revolver Rani. I play a dacoit-cum-politician. It is a mix of supergirl plus vulnerable girl plus Queen plus everything. So that was most challenging," Kangna said. Do come back for more updates on Kangna. (IANS)
Have a look at the slide show for Kangna's new avatars.

But the actor says he is looking forward to catching up on the show over Christmas when he has some time off from his busy schedule. "I haven't seen this season yet," Aidan said.
"I've been given a number of discs so if I manage to watch them by Sunday, then I'll watch the finale along with everyone else.
"I've been away so it's not a lack of interest; I just haven't got to see it yet."
The 44-year-old actor, who played gang leader Johnboy on the show, was killed off last season and he says that the RTE series is now behind him.
"I'm not in Love/Hate any more -- it's been 15 months since I was in it."
Dublin native Gillen -- who owns a home in Kerry -- says he is looking forward to the festive season and will not be doing much. "I've been working a lot this year so I am looking forward to doing nothing," he said.
"I'm looking forward to being in Ireland and being at home," he added.
Aidan was speaking at the launch of the Simon Community's Christmas-themed House of Light projection show at the Powerscourt shopping centre in Dublin's city centre.

Let me first say that i'm a noob at web development and especially wordpress.
I managed to get a decently working site with the available features, but i'd like to know hot to remove/hide certain parts in a page.
For instance:
-How do i hide/remove the excerp, author, comments, tag... part in a certain section (for instance Add Page, Post...)
I'm making a user generated page and i as an admin only want the users to have the bare minimum of what they can tweak.
For "Posts" i just want them to see "title/text" portion and the "publish" portion.
Is there a simple way of customizing the back-end pages?
Is there a plugin that let's me choose what is available?

They siad the only way for me to get phone service again is to pay for the month that I didnt have service, and then again for the upcoming month. Even if I just waited for Jan. 3.
I asked if I could just restart on Dec. 24th and have a new due day, I was told, if I do that I would have to pay activation fees all over again, and that I couldnt keep the numbers I already had.
Also, when you dial there 1-800-cricket number, dont expect to talk to a live rep, you get the same mesage EACH time (there having technical difficulties, and no one is avalable, so try back later).
There should really be a class action against them.

I've had the rug for several months and it still looks like new. The design is unique and the colors are as beautiful as they look in the picture. I have the largest rug (13x9) and it ties my living room together with all of the jewel tones. The pattern repeats enough that it didn't lose anything by putting my sofa on it. I get compliments on the rug every time someone comes over.

it doesn't run ios6 but much better than that - native libraries
and c++ instead of c
very powerful stuff for the guys who know what's the diff between c and c++...
that will quickly translate in amazing games/apps/etc
we shall see soon..
You know in objective-c , you can change a .m file to .mm file right? llvm/clang does the right thing.
