Not Yet Rated
4 stars out of 5 -- "There's a dizzying array of faces, languages and imagery that sears into your soul."
Box Office
"Inarritu and his superb cast use provocation and feeling to build something tentatively hopeful out of the rubble. This is a film to take to heart."
Rolling Stone
"BABEL is certainly an experience....The sheer reckless ardor of Mr. Gonzalez Inarritu's filmmaking -- the voracious close-ups, the sweeping landscape shots, the swiveling, hurtling camera movements -- suggests a virtually limitless confidence in the power of the medium..."
New York Times
"BABEL looks beautiful, never more so than when BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto captures locals at ease among themselves." -- Grade: B-
Entertainment Weekly
4 stars out of 4 -- "In the year's richest, most complex and ultimately most heartbreaking film, Inarritu invites us to get past the babble of modern civilization and start listening to each other."
Rolling Stone
4 stars out of 5 -- "Each piece in the puzzle unfolds at a thrilling velocity, events spiralling out of control in a whirlwind of rash judgements, linguistic barriers and sheer bad luck."
Total Film
Ranked #5 in Rolling Stone's "The 10 Best Movies Of 2006" -- "[A]s the film builds to a shattering climax, you'll be in an emotional grip that won't let go."
Rolling Stone
5 stars out of 5 -- "The stories gradually gather urgency, heat and pain....In a soundbite century, it stares tragedy in the eye, scrapes away the mindless babble."
"[H]ypnotic....We come away from this film consumed with a sense of sorrow over innocence betrayed and reminded of the double standard of justice in our polarized world."
Movieline's Hollywood Life
5 stars out of 5 -- "It's an intense experience, defined by a simmering sense of dread..."

We figured being in Missouri we needed to stop by Kansas City for some amazing BBQ since the city is known for it!! We stopped at.... We ordered 4 huge meals and shared between the four of us!! We don't think we could eat at another BBQ place again that is how good it was!!

After making a plan for the next leg of the journey, Jonathan took me to the Cheesecake Factory- a restaurant that sells nice food and incredible cheese cake. I ate ...

Wine Trail Weekend will showcase Door County's wineries
When Tim Lawrie bought the Simon farmstead 15 years ago — sight unseen — he had no plans to create a winery.
"Truth be told, we purchased the property as an investment," said Lawrie, a retired Army officer who spent 26 years in the military followed by a stint in the energy business. "But we lucked out and truly believe we have one of the prettiest spots in Door County up here.
"We figured having a winery was the ideal way to share this land with both locals and visitors," said Lawrie, a Door County native.
So in 2003, Lawrie started Simon Creek Vineyard & Winery on 120 acres of rolling hills and woods in the center of the Door peninsula between Carlsville and Jacksonport off county Highway I at 5896 Bochek Road. It is one of eight vineyards that will be showcasing wines and celebrating the return of warm weather (thank goodness) during Door County's Wine Trail Weekend next weekend.
Lawrie said Simon Creek grows many of its own grapes but also imports juice to make its wines.
He said the most popular wine is a ruby Cabernet with a deep red color and medium dry taste. Lawrie dubbed it Untouchable Red. The name, he said, comes from a story, passed down through generations of the Simon family, of an unsuccessful attempt by notorious Chicago gangster Al Capone to buy the farm back in the late 1920s.
Lawrie said the winery also makes some apple and cherry wines.
Simon Creek wines are for sale at 200 outlets around the state. Simon Creek produces 8,000 cases of wine annually, and those numbers are increasing each year, he said.
"In fact, the wine industry is one of the fastest-growing business sectors in Door County," he said. "We have more wineries than any other county in the state."
Visitors to the Simon Creek vineyard will find a 125-year-old barn from the farmstead situated on a knoll overlooking Simon Creek and a pond. Next to it is the 11,000-square-foot winery, tasting room and retail area, complete with a large deck next to the pond.
Lawrie said the return of warm weather means his grapevines will soon be budding, though they are well behind normal because of the chilly spring.
"It's a celebration of the vineyards returning to life and growing again," he said. "We'll be pruning the vines and getting all things set."
Milder weather a benefit
Lawrie said Door County's location between Green Bay and Lake Michigan means it has milder weather than other parts of the state, which were hit hard by temperatures well below zero this winter.
At Wollersheim Winery near Sauk City, west of Madison, owner Philippe Coquard said the severe and long-lasting winter zapped a lot of his grape buds, meaning he will probably lose 30% to 50% of his crop.
"Fortunately, we did not have much winter kill," Lawrie said. "But we are six weeks behind. Usually the vines are starting to bud in early to mid-March, but they are just starting to bud now."
Though visitors can take tours and sample wines throughout the weekend, Lawrie said the best time to visit his winery is on Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. when guitarist and singer Mickey Grasso will be playing on the big deck.
"We sometimes draw 400 or 500 visitors on Sunday afternoons in the summer," he said. "And Mickey is great, singing songs by Jimmy Buffett, John Denver — music you can enjoy and understand. He's been with us for about eight years now. And there's no cover charge, so it's all free."
Weekend at other wineries
Here's what will be happening during the Wine Trail Weekend at other Door County wineries:
Red Oak Winery & Vineyard, 3017 Enterprise Road, Sturgeon Bay, will serve shrimp with the vineyard's best wines. Musician Lucy Hagen will perform at 2 p.m. Saturday.
Von Stiehl Winery, 115 Navarino St., Algoma, will host free tours all three days at 9:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m., and 11:30 a.m. They will offer buy-one, get-one free wine pairings of chocolate, cheese or cheesecake on Friday and Sunday.
Door 44 Winery, 4020 Highway 42/57, Sturgeon Bay, will release a new Wisconsin-grown sparkling wine. Throughout the weekend, a glass of this aromatic bubbly will be paired with a plate of delicious chocolate treats for $10.
Door Peninsula Winery, 5806 Wisconsin 42, Sturgeon Bay, will pair Renard's cheeses with its wines Saturday. In addition, a gourmet three-course dinner paired with wine and music will be served at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Bistro 42 restaurant.
Harbor Ridge Winery, 4690 Rainbow Ridge Court, Egg Harbor, will offer music spun by DJ Gus Michael from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday. Visitors can taste Harbor Ridge wines and sample cheeses from Wisconsin Cheese Masters, which is next to the winery.
Orchard Country Winery & Market, 9197 Wisconsin 42, Fish Creek, will offer guided winery tours at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Visitors can enjoy complimentary wine, cheese and cherry products all weekend. Guitarist Bob Bero will play from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Stone's Throw Winery, 3382 County Road E, Baileys Harbor, will serve original recipe meatballs with its grape wines during the weekend. Visitors can taste, shop, walk the grounds, picnic and play bocce.
Getting there: Door County is two hours-plus north of Milwaukee via I-43.

In the case of ordinal regression, instead of using the predicted
probability, you should use the linear predictor, computed using
-predict- with the -xb- option. This linear predictor is an ordinal
predictor of the outcome. It then makes sense to use the
c-statistic, although the confidence intervals should only be taken
seriously if calculated (using out-of-sample prediction) in a
different dataset from the dataset in which the ordinal model was fitted.
In the case of mlogit, there are multiple linear predictors,
interpreted as the log odds ratios (per X-unit) of the various
non-baseline outcomes compared to the baseline outcome. In that
case, the c-statistic for the linear predictor for each non-baseline
outcome only makes sense if restricted to observations with either
that non-baseline outcome or the baseline outcome.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner: "Trouble in Paradise"?
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are having "trouble in paradise," reports Star. The tabloid claims the couple "have barely seen each other in the past few months," and goes on to allege that the actor-director "was acting like a single man" at the GQ "Men of the Year" party in L.A. on November 13. A so-called "eyewitness" at the bash says, "He certainly wasn't rushing home to be with his beautiful wife."
Maybe — just maybe — that's because Affleck was being honored as one of the "Men of the Year" at the event.
Anyway, the mag goes on to allege that Affleck and Garner are having issues due to "the growing success of Ben's latest flick, Argo." How so? Another so-called "insider" for the tab explains, "Ben really wants to win an Oscar for this film, and he's become pretty obsessive about it." The supposed source adds Affleck and Garner "are spending a lot of nights apart" while he promotes Argo, adding, "They are at a breaking point right now." Star notes, "Friends say they aren't sure how much longer she'll be able — or willing — to juggle the kids and her career without Ben's help."
Oh, please. This story couldn't be further from the truth. First, Affleck actually spent under 30 minutes at the GQ party. And while Affleck has indeed been busy with Argo press duties, he and Garner have been together as much as possible throughout his professional commitments. She even joined him in Paris when he was promoting the movie there, and the couple was able to share some romantic dinners while their three kids stayed home in L.A. Regardless, an Affleck insider tells Gossip Cop the tab's marriage crisis tale is complete "bullsh*t."

Treating Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is a disease of the nerves. It most often starts in your feet and may also eventually affect the arms. It may cause pain or may make you unable to sense pain. Sometimes, weakness occurs as well. Lack of pain and weakness makes you more likely to injure yourself without knowing it.
Learn ways to protect your feet. Check your feet daily for wounds you may not have felt. Avoid burns by testing bath water with your elbow before stepping in. Also, always wear shoes to prevent injury.
Regular foot care
If you have foot numbness, you may not notice cutting yourself while trimming your nails. To prevent problems, your doctor may ask you to visit for nail and callus trimming. See your doctor for foot care as often as suggested.
Check your feet daily
Catch problems early by checking your feet every day for changes. Look at the top and bottom of your feet, your heels, and between your toes. It may help to use a mirror. If this is hard, ask someone to check for you. Call your doctor if you notice a wound, ulceration, ingrown nail, or any changes in your feet. This includes increased heat, swelling, and redness.
Wear proper footwear
Always wear shoes and socks, even indoors. Ask your doctor how to choose the right shoe. After buying shoes, bring them to your doctor to be checked for fit. Take new shoes off every hour or so to check for red pressure areas on your feet. Each time you put on your shoes, use your fingers first to feel inside for foreign objects.
Common causes of peripheral neuropathy
Some common causes of peripheral neuropathy include:
Diabetes or other endocrine disorders
Toxins (such as alcohol)
Nutritional deficiencies (such as Vitamin B-12)
Kidney disease
Repetitive stress (such as carpal tunnel syndrome)
Autoimmune disease
Cancer and tumors
Diagnosis and treatment
Diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy includes a complete history and physical exam. Lab tests including blood work and imaging often help determine the cause. Special nerve tests are often helpful including nerve conduction velocity studies (NCV), and electromyelography (EMG).
Treatment focuses on treating the underlying disorder and treating symptoms through the use of medicines, injections, TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), acupuncture, massage, and other methods.

You wouldn't hear Galah as a name in Australia – calling someone galah is slang for a fool! haha.
But Rosella is a great suggestion! I might have to add that to the list 🙂
Rin Says:
@Khoury.jk, That's exactly what I was going to say about Galah. I'm from NZ but specifically remember my Dad saying stuff like, "You great galah!", usually when watching the cricket(!)
Megalady Says:
Love Fennec. I actually was reading about Halcyon, kingfisher, today.
Natural Says:
I actually have Fennec, on my boy's middle name list. I think the fennec fox is so gorgeous and whimsical looking.
Arlina Says:
I went to school with a girl named Rosella, but she pronounced it more like Ruhz-ella. It is a very pretty name.
Aveline_Bellefleur Says:
Lol, had to giggle @ the suggestion of Galah!! I picture the entire country shaking their heads in unison and disbelief hahahaha 😀 If I used Fennec in Australia, ppl *may* assume I was a boxing fanatic and put my unique stamp on Jeff Fenech's name 😉 Otherwise, it's okay 🙂
In all, Brocken & Rosella are the only two I find (semi) appealing. I am amazed at the sudden popularity of Wren though, I do see it quite a bit here on NB 🙂
Great read 🙂
Aveline_Bellefleur Says:
Whoa, sorry about all the smiley faces; overdid it there a bit…
taliesin Says:
there's a reason that Apple Martin is so weird. First her mother is who she is and then her name is Apple. I once met a teenager named Apple and I asked her how she liked her name. "I hate it!" All those kids of hippies grew up and changed their names but the damage had already been done.
The point is, sure these are cute unusual names, but maybe for your pet. Your child's self-identity is formed by their name. This means nothing stupid or too unusual. The rule of thumb is: ask yourself what do celebrities (white trash with money) and trailer trash have in common. bastard children and stupid, embarrassing names for their children.
If you are going to call your child Jackie as a nickname, give her the name Jackie not something she's going to be embarrassed about or hide.
This is even more true for boys. If there are ten Johns or Justins or Jacobs on the playground, not one of them will care but the kid named Fennec will be considered a freak. You are naming the child for him/her, not to express your own creativity. By the way, the lower down the social, economic scale you go, the more these stupid names are acceptable. If you name your son Zebrule, and you don't live in a housing project, expect lots of behavior problems.
Mischa Says:
My favourite is Grayling. I first heard the name on the British detective show "Inspector Morse". It was the name of a female forensic specialist who had a father who loved fishing! The Fennec fox is adorable but I wouldn't want to name my child after it.
Dantea Says:
I had no idea about Galah! One instance where I failed to find something in my research. Pam and Linda, maybe go add that in there as a caution? I'm glad you all like some of them.
Taliesin — There is no reason to be rude or aggressive. Just because you don't like something doesn't make it low clash or white trash or the like. I'm not low class nor am I white trash or live in a housing project and my name is Angel. I assume you consider it trashy. My daughter has an unusual name. There are a lot of people from all demographics who use these and other unusual names. They're getting more and more popular. I would appreciate a more polite response in the future.
jame1881 Says:
Warning about Urial: I pronounced it like Uriah with an "l" instead of a final "yuh". Guess what it sounded like? It's only one "n" away…
I agree with everyone else about Fennec! Love it!
Khoury.jk Says:
hahahahahaha, sorry I can't help by laugh at Taliesin's ridiculous post. "bastard children" – what year is it? Pretty sure it's 2013, not 1950.
"a child's self identity is formed by their name". hahahaha. I'm sure psychologists around the world completely agree with you. We're all slaves to our name really. *sarcasm*
jenagain Says:
I think Fennec (and Finnick) sound finicky.
But maybe that's just me.
I think Jacana, Cabrilla and Rosella could all grow on me.
Fox Says:
Yeah, um, galah is also a slang term for a stupid or loutish person, sort of like the better known "jackass". NOT a good thing to inflict on your poor kid! :\
tori101 Says:
My favourites:
Erinm Says:
Ah and a galah is pink and grey not blue! Haha. Terrible name…
Erinm Says:
Oh Iike Rosella, that is a beautiful parrot in australia. I thought of it the other day when I saw one flying.
Erinm Says:
I meant to say I LIKE rosella!!
HannieKitt Says:
Just to say that Barbet is also a breed of dog similar to the poodle. I didn't realise it was a bird too.
IantheL Says:
Yes I have an unusual name, and my parents would probably not appreciate being called white trash, nor were they hippies. Actually, it grew on me as I got older, I think it's character forming! and I would never change it. Some names, though, are just cruel. Luckily the Galah mistake was corrected before anyone went there!

Feb. 19, 2005
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The UAB baseball team held on for a 6-5 victory over Central Michigan in the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday afternoon at Young Memorial Field. The Blazers came back from an early deficit and defeated the Chippewas for the second straight day. Ryan Metcalf and Dan Stucky each knocked in two runs for the Blazers while Ryan Huffman picked up the save with four innings of shutout relief.
Central Michigan jumped on the Blazers early, touching up UAB starter Jeff Brown for three runs in the top of the first. Brown retired the inning's first two batters, but a double by Jim Geldhof followed by three consecutive walks and a single by David Latour gave the Chippewas an early advantage.
Trailing 4-0 in the bottom of the third inning, Metcalf got the Blazers on the board with a solo home run off the scoreboard in left field.
After the Blazers scored again to pull within two runs, Central Michigan pushed a run across in the top of the fifth. Geldhof led the inning off with a single, stole second and scored on a base hit by shortstop Troy Moratti.
UAB bounced right back and batted around in the bottom of the fifth inning. Seth Rollin was hit by a pitch leading off and J.R. Bond followed with double to the right-center field wall. Metcalf then hit a dribbler past the pitcher's mound which no one could make a play on and allowed Rollin to plate the Blazers' third run. With two outs, and runners on second and third after a wild pitch, Stucky laced a two-strike double into the right-center field gap, scoring Knight and Metcalf and tying the game at five. Ward then reached on an error and Nathan McCorkle drew a walk to load the bases. After a Central Michigan pitching change, Cole Helms also drew a walk and gave the Blazers their first lead of the game at 6-5.
Game two of the doubleheader will begin at approximately 4 p.m. at Young Memorial Field.

The only good thing about last season for Miami Dolphins fans were the free bets from bookies goading people to back their team. However this season will be quite easy to show fans a marked improvement during 2016-2017. Coming off a nice 2014-2015 season that included just over 4,000 passing yards and 27 TDs, QB Ryan Tannehill had given team officials and fans every reason to believe the team was headed in the right direction. Unfortunately, those assumptions were premature.
Looking back, there's enough blame to go around for a team that finished last in the AFC East with a record of 6-10. While Tannehill came back with similar numbers, the offensive line continually failed to protect him in the pocket, which resulted in turnovers and sacks. They also failed to open holes for running backs as the team finished 23rd in the league in rushing with just over 93 YPG.
On defense, the Dolphins ran middle of the pack, allowing 376 YPG and 24.3 PPG. With only 21 turnovers to its credit, the defense simply wasn't able to keep games close enough for the team's pedestrian offense to make a difference.
In the off-season, the Dolphins felt they had three things they needed to address. They needed to improve the offensive line, find a better solution at running back to replace Lamar Miller (872 yards, 8 TDs) who left via free agency and pick up a big defensive lineman that can rush the passer.
In the first round of the draft, the Dolphins addressed its first need. They selected Laremy Tunsil (OT) out of Mississippi as was the prediction among fantasy players internationally. While Branden Albert looks safe at left-tackle, Tunsil's natural position, there are a couple of players that could be moved around to make room for a talent like Tunsil. After selecting CB Xavien Howard out of Baylor in the second round, the Dolphins took a flier and drafted RB Kenyan Drake out of Alabama. Even though he was the backup to Heisman winner Derrick Henry, some experts predict he will be a better pro back than that one. While that fails to immediately address the team's second need, he has too much upside for them to have passed on the chance to get him.
For now, the Dolphins look like they might try to make do with second-year back Jay Ajayi out of Boise State. In limited action last season, he carried the ball 49 times for 187 yards. Headed into the preseason, he will be backed up by former All-Pro Arian Foster, who came over from Houston. The excitement of getting a former All-Pro, who is going to be 30 heading into the new season, is tempered by the fact his career has been a roller-coaster ride of great play and injury. It's worth noting that Ajayi is not without promise and talent, having accounted for over 2,300 total yards and 32 TDs in his senior year.
That leaves addressing the need for a pass rushing defensive lineman. The team went with the pickup of another former All-Pro Mario Williams, who came over from Buffalo. As a 10-year veteran, Williams has accounted for an average of almost 10 sacks a season. Given his limited playing time last year, this might not be the solution the Dolphins were seeking. However, a healthy Cameron Wake on the other side of the field gives the Dolphins two experienced pass rushers coming from either direction, which could be enough to disrupt opposing QBs.
The reality is first-year Head Coach Adam Gase faces the task rebuilding this franchise without the requisite superstar talent to build around. Tannehill is serviceable and Ajayi holds much promise as does Drake, but this just doesn't seem like the year the Dolphins make it back to the playoffs. If they finish with the same 6-10 record as last year, they will have stopped the bleeding and might be poised to start moving upwards, starting next season.null

WESTERN AUSTRALIA NOW AND THEN (wanowandthen.com) needs all the support we can get. Please tell your friends about us.
HEMA Map reference 75/A12
Kalgoorlie is located in the the world's largest electorate which goes all the way north to Newman.
Boulder, which lies 5km south of Kalgoorlie, is now incorporated into the main settlement and it is administered as one entity. Boulder was originally surveyed in 1896 and within a few years there were no fewer than 34 hotels servicing the population.
Mining has always been a tough game and miners have always worked and played hard. The town has been known both for the number of hotels and the number of brothels catering to the miners needs. Currently gold production is about 70 % of Australia's total output.
The town owed (and still owes) much of its continued success to C.Y. O'Connor whose skill saw the construction of a water pipeline from Mundaring (in the hills near Perth) to the goldfields.
It took us a long time to get to see Kalgoorlie but in the end it was worth waiting for. A surprisingly modern town as far as shopping and facilities are concerned, Kalgoorlie still retains much of its mining days charm. There is plenty to see and do around the area including Hannan's North tourist mine which will give you a good insight into what underground mining is like.
An early bard penned about Boulder:
"Rather rowdy,
Dingy, cloudy,
Dusty, dirty, dim and dowdy,
Thirsty throats to mock.
Can't mistake her,
Good drought slaker,
Six pubs to the bloomin' acre,
That's the Boulder Block. "
Many prospectors had a rough time and most who arrived in W.A. with dreams of striking it rich, were to leave with less than the came with. Another disgruntled anonymous prospector wrote:
Land of politicians silly
Land of dust and willy willy
Land of blanket tent and billy
Land of dingos, dagoes, flies
Blighted hopes and blighted eyes
Art thou hell in Earth's disguise?
I could some stories of thee tell
What matter now, to thee farewell
Thou dirty sunburned land of hell
In April 2010, Kalgoorlie was rocked by a magnitude 5.0 earthquake. It damaged buildings, caused some streets to be evacuated and temporarily stopped work at the Super Pit.
The name Kalgoorlie has several possible origins. It may be derived from an Aboriginal word, galgurli or karlkurla, meaning silky pear or may mean 'dog chasing kangaroo'. It could also mean three lines shaped like a fork 'Y" or even may have originated from the Aboriginal word kalgoorliegunyah that is said to mean 'water from trees at the meeting of tracks'.
Boulder got its name from George Brookman who named his mining lease The Great Boulder after a small mine he had worked at Dashwood's Gully in South Australia.
The first explorer through the area was H.M. Lefroy in 1863 and a later expedition in 1868 also failed to detect the riches which lay just below, and sometimes on, the surface. Gold was discovered in 1893 by Paddy Hannan. (One version of the story says that it was due to a thrown horse shoe which forced the party to camp overnight 20km short of their intended destination but this version has not been supported by interviews conducted later with Hannan and Flannagan. (1) ) They discovered several good nuggets and soon other discoveries were made in the area now known as 'The Golden Mile'.
A huge gold rush ensued but the main problems were the isolation and the lack of water in the area. At one point water was costing more than the gold that the miners sought. Some mines sank shafts below 200 feet and found not gold but water. This turned out to be a good thing as water was so scarce that one mine regularly sold 25,000 gallons of water per day.
Another precious commodity was fire wood as it took 1 ton of wood to extract every 2 tons of ore. Woodcutting was (after mining) the second most important occupation on the goldfields.
Two strikes by woodcutters in 1908 and 1916 brought the mines to a close for some time. The woodcutters were asking for an increase of 3p per ton and when 3000 miners had been out of work for nearly 3 weeks, the mines gave in and the woodcutters got their increase.
While it was Hannan who discovered the alluvial gold, it was George Brookman (who arrived quite late on the field) who discovered the greatest concentration of gold.
W.G. Brookman and his partner S.W. Pearce were dismissed by other miners as inexperienced 'new chums'. They came from South Australia, sent over by a syndicate of 10 people to search for gold on the new fields.
According to the 'old hands' they were looking in all the wrong places, places where there was lots of iron stone, when everyone knew that quartz was the 'mother of gold'. Pearce stated that within half an hour of first looking for gold he managed to locate some small nuggets but the men were looking for something more substantial. They re-located their campsite to an area that had by that stage been un-touched. In Pearce's words there were 'big blows of iron' and he found 'a big north and south formation of quartzine and iron, enclosed in diorite walls and gold showing freely in every stone broken or picked up.' The men were almost in the middle of what today is known as the 'Golden Mile' and their find was to become the Ivanhoe Mine.
Brookman brought out crushed ore that to the naked eye showed little or no sign of gold, but when assayed it was found to have 8oz to the ton.
Despite making enough to retire comfortably on, Sam Pearce was to follow the trail of gold for the rest of his life. He was never again to find the kind of ground he discovered at Kalgoorlie. At the age of 80 he was still living in a tent working a small lease in South Australia. He died in the Adelaide hospital in 1932.
Despite Pearce and Brookman's discovery of the major gold producing area in Kalgoorlie, it was Hannan that was to be remembered with a statue in the town.
Despite the hardships suffered by the miners, theft was quite rare on the goldfields. Each miner was in the same position and the property of other miners was generally respected.
If there was a theft it was usually someone passing through and when the miners held an impromptu inquiry the culprit was usually uncovered. Summary justice then took place with small thefts resulting in the loss of an ear lobe and larger thefts like the taking of gold, resulted in the loss of an ear. Thus marked, the offender would be unlikely to repeat the offence and they were quickly driven off the goldfields.
Alexander MacDonald (a Scottish writer) wrote in his book 'In Search of El Dorado':
"When my party stepped from the train at Kalgoorlie, we saw before us a scattered array of wooden and galvanised iron houses...In the near distance we could see the towering poppet heads of the widely known Great Boulder mine, and the din created by the revolving hammers of the ever active stamping machinery assailed our ears as an indescribable uproar. But beyond the dust and smoke of these Nature-combating engines of civilisation, the open desert, dotted with its stunted mulga and mallee growths, shimmered back into the horizon."
At its height it is believed that Kalgoorlie reached a population of 30,000 people who were entertained in no less than 93 pubs which were supplied by 8 breweries.
Mining has always been a dangerous occupation and not just because of rock falls, dangerous gases, explosives and accidents with machinery. In 1925 Silicosis was finally recognised as a condition caused by the dust inhaled by miners. A Workers Compensation act was proclaimed in parliament and miners affected were no longer made to work underground.
Lung damage from the dust (especially from quartz) led to other complaints like tuberculosis. As T.B. is infectious it readily spread from one miner to the next.
The First World War saw mining decline in Kalgoorlie and by the 1920s the costs associated with extracting gold were steadily rising. Mines across the goldfields were closing and even the big mines were processing much less ore.
As bad as it was, Kalgoorlie was far better off than other Australian goldfields and by the end of the 1920s it was still producing 80% of all Australia's gold.
When the Wall Street crash triggered the Great Depression of the 1930s, Kalgoorlie was one of the few places that benefited. The gold price soared and Kalgoorlie flourished while the rest of the world floundered.
In 1931 the Golden Eagle, a nugget weighing 70 pounds, was discovered and seemed to hail the success of Kalgoorlie even in the midst of a world wide recession.
Tension between miners of English background and those of Italian and Yugoslav origins boiled over in 1934 after a young man named Jordan was killed after an altercation with an Italian barman named Claudio Mattaboni. A full blown riot started and many businesses and homes were looted or destroyed. At least two deaths were said to have occurred during the troubles.
The Second World War saw another slump in mining as miners enlisted and went overseas to fight. Some returned after the war but the heart seemed to have gone out of the area and a slow and steady decline was to follow.
Worse followed in the 1950s with the Korean War triggering high inflation and the cost of mining became almost prohibitive.
By the 1970s most mines had closed down and the few that remained open were re-working old ground. At the same time nickel was in demand and miners were moving away to mines at Kambalda.
In 1973 the last two surviving mines merged and though the price of gold rose in 1974, inflation kept mining costs high. By 1975 it looked as though the goldfields were finished. The gold subsidy (of 1954) had been abolished and hundreds of miners had been laid off.
The Australian Newspaper reported on September 6th 1976: 'Kalgoorlie died, aged 83, last week...' It seems as though reports of her death were grossly exaggerated.
Then when it looked as though all was lost, an investment of $8 million and the creation of the Kalgoorlie Mining Associates (March 1976) breathed new life into the area.
Fate it seemed, was against the deal and the gold price continued to fall. Just when the last mine was about to close the Australian dollar was devalued and the gold price soared by $22 an ounce.
By 1980 gold was at record values and even the low grade ore from Mt. Charlotte (the last surviving mine) was returning a profit and shareholders got a dividend for the first time in 11 years. The Golden Mile (actually an area 4 kilometres long, 1.2 kilometres wide and 1.5 kilometres deep) was re-born.
It was about this time that Alan Bond first took an interest in the goldfields and decided to start buying up key leases on the Golden mile with the idea of removing the surface workings and creating a large open cut mine. He was not the first to have the idea of amalgamating the leases but he was the first to set about actually doing it.
Many lease holders were reluctant to sell, and some saw a good chance at making a big windfall from their sale. The last 'hold out' was Poseidon which eventually sold out to Bond for a sum reported at $375 million.
Bond had gambled on the gold price remaining high and although he achieved his ambition of amalgamating the Golden Mile leases he had paid too high a price. By 1989 he was looking for a buyer and Poseidon was waiting in the wings.
The Super Pit that exists today produces gold ore of very low quality but because modern extraction methods are very effective and gold prices are very high, it manages to make a very healthy profit. It was first opened in 1989 and since that time has produced over 50 million ounces of gold. It takes around 7 loads of ore in a haul pak truck to produce 2 ounces of gold.
Kalgoorlie was first proclaimed in 1895 and Boulder in 1897. Kalgoorlie is a popular tourist destination, but is surrounded by some of the ugliest countryside in the state.
Today water for the town is supplied from Perth via a pipeline. The designer was said to have committed suicide when the water was turned on and nothing happened. The legend says that he forgot that it would take a while to get from Perth to Kalgoorlie. The folk law version is not only incorrect, but it tells us little about the man concerned. O'Connor certainly took his own life but the reasons were somewhat more complex.
It was only a matter of weeks after C.Y. O'Connor took his life that pumping trials began and water finally reached the goldfields on January 16th 1903. It had taken less than 5 years to complete the pipeline and get it working. The pressure and criticism that had hounded O'Connor to his grave was completely unwarranted and the present town owes much to the skill of a great Engineer.
Ghostly cat
During the renovation of Warden Finnerty's historic house Jack Tree, the curator, felt that he was being bitten on the ankles but could see nothing to account for the sensation. He said that it felt like being bitten by a cat or small dog. During the work the body of a very flat cat was found under the building. It may have been there since the 1890s. Once the cat had been removed there were no more reports of bitten ankles.
The saddest tale of all
I have read many sad tales of people who perished in the Australian outback but this particular one seems to me to be the saddest of them all.
On Christmas Day 1915 a little old lady (Mrs Margaret Quinn) arrived at the Kalgoorlie train station from Perth. She had just completed the long sea journey from Scotland to Australia as she wanted to see her son for Christmas. He was working 32 kilometres from Kalgoorlie at Bulong as the local school teacher but due to a mix up in communications he was unaware that his mother had arrived and was waiting for him to pick her up just a few kilometres away from where he was having a quiet Christmas drink with some friends.
The old lady waited until around mid-day and finally deciding that her son was not coming she asked directions to Bulong and decided to walk there as she had come all the way over just to spend Christmas Day with him.
She was told how to get to Bulong but was also warned to keep to the track and someone suggested she not attempt to walk there on her own. Hiring a horse and cart to take her was too expensive so she decided to press on and walk.
A day or so later someone mentioned to her son that his mother had been in Coolgardie and left with the intention of reaching Bulong but her son had not seen her. A search was organised but it took several more days to locate her and by that time she had died of thirst. She was found 16 Kilometres from Kalgoorlie and 6 kilometres off the track to Bulong.
It is hard not to imagine the fear and pain she experienced when she realised she was lost in the great Australian outback, all because she had wanted to spend Christmas with her son.
Theft and fraud
Two Yugoslav underground miners had gathered up quite a nice little pile of stolen gold and they decided it was time to sell it. They got the name of someone who was willing to purchase it and were offered a price of 600 pounds, that they reluctantly accepted.
In a hurry to do the deal they swapped the gold fro cash only to find on their return to their camp that only the top 5 pound note of each of the wads of cash they had been given was genuine. They had swapped their gold for just 30 pounds. In their anger they reported the fraud to the local police but must have come to their senses and quickly disappeared from the goldfields.
Murdered for gold.
Inspector John Walsh and Detective Sergeant Alexander Pitman were reported missing in April 1926. Their job was to investigate gold theft and fears were held for their safety when nothing was heard from them for some time.
The worst fears were realised when their burned and mutilated remains were found down an abandoned mine shaft. After a lengthy investigation William Coulter and Phillip Treffene were tried for the murders, convicted and executed. Evan Clarke who had apparently been involved in disposing of the bodies turned King's evidence and managed to save himself.

Hannan's North Tourist Mine
An interesting attraction in Kalgoorlie that gives you the chance to pan for gold, go 120 metres down into an old gold mine and watch gold ingots being poured, is Hannan's North. I had the feeling that there could have been a bit more to this in the way of information about the various buildings on the site but it was fascinating to wander round through the old gold field relics. There is also a miners hall of fame to look through. By far the best part of this attraction was the time underground getting a small taste of what life is like for miners.

Slavia Prague would struggle in the Championship, if Tuesday night's evidence was any barometer. Arsenal enjoyed their European record 7-0 victory over them, that moved them convincingly towards the knockout stages of the Champions League but calls for perspective cut through the aftermath. More strenuous examinations loom, beginning at Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.
"You see the big teams after the big scores, when you win five, six or seven-nil, they get ready for the next one," said the manager, Arsène Wenger, who noted that eight of Arsenal's next 10 fixtures in all competitions were away from home. One of the two at the Emirates Stadium is against Manchester United. A defining period is upon them.
The same is true of Theo Walcott. The 18-year-old England international, who joined from Southampton for a fee that may rise to £12m, said his two goals against Slavia were "a weight off my shoulders" and his liberation after the first was apparent. His second carried shades of Thierry Henry, Arsenal's record goalscorer, who is at Barcelona and the player with whom he has been prematurely compared. There appears to be a desire among Arsenal supporters to elevate Walcott before he has truly sparkled. Perhaps it is due to his nationality. They have not had one of their own playing regularly up front since the days of Ian Wright in the 90s. There is a yearning for Walcott to justify his price tag, to fulfil the potential that persuaded Sven-Goran Eriksson to make him the surprise inclusion in his England squad for the last World Cup.
Walcott's every move is scrutinised and his highs and lows are more pronounced than other young players'. Optimism soared when he scored his only other goal for Arsenal in last season's Carling Cup final against Chelsea while there have been dark mutterings when he has failed to make an impression on games.
But Wenger has maintained the need for patience and he was eager to ensure that expectation levels did not spiral again after Walcott's prominence against Slavia. Only in the coming months will the picture form clearly.
"When you go from a young, promising player into a world of men, you discover suddenly the world is not like everybody has described it to you," said Wenger. "The world of being a football player is not as ideal as you dream it when you are 15 because you have to cope with all kinds of difficulties and have to digest it. When you are a kid of 15 or 16, you think everybody loves you and that football is an ideal world - then you come into fierce competition."
That which rages within the Arsenal squad means Walcott cannot be assured of retaining his starting place at Anfield, alongside Emmanuel Adebayor. Eduardo, the new signing, is pressing for a recall, in the absence of the injured Robin van Persie. "It's always possible to change a team and there's a good possibility it will be changed," said the manager.
Walcott underwent major shoulder surgery towards the end of last season and - the rehabilitation from which should not be underestimated, according to Wenger - he feels "stronger and wiser and ready to push on". He hopes to establish himself as a striker, the position he says Wenger bought him to play. His quest is for consistency but he wants to emerge as his own man. "I suppose people are always going to compare me to Thierry because of the way I run and everything but I want to be my own player," he said.
Anfield is a mouthwatering prospect and the magnitude of the occasion for Arsenal was best summed up by Manuel Almunia, the goalkeeper. "It's the biggest test for us because up to now, we have played mid-table teams and teams at the bottom. A victory on Sunday will mean that Arsenal is ready to win the league and fight for the title."
Walcott is ready to play his part.

The board of trustees of Florida Keys Community College (FKCC) on Monday voted unanimously to proceed with a forbearance agreement, designed to ease financial issues associated with its Lagoon Landing dormitory at the Key West campus.
Such an agreement between a borrower and lender is a temporary plan designed to help bring a borrower current on a debt.
The agreement will be signed by the dorms' majority bondholder, Lapis Advisers LP, of San Francisco; the college, acting as Lagoon Landing's operating manager; and The Campus Foundation, which is FKCC's direct support organization (DSO), created to oversee the project's construction.
Trustees are hoping the move will give the Campus Foundation -- and the college -- breathing room to try to renegotiate the bonds supporting the dorm project, which began welcoming students in the fall of 2011.
Attorney Ken Artin, representing the college, presented the board with a first draft of the letter, which was written with considerable input from Lapis Advisers.
According to the terms of the agreement, Lapis would accept 5 percent on its investment of $8.2 million in 30-year, non-recourse revenue bonds, rather than the 7 percent specified in the current arrangement, for a period of one year, or two, if all sides agree. During this period, the parties will attempt to come up with a more stable solution that could involve a permanent interest rate reduction, principal write-off, or perhaps some of both.
Attached to the agreement is an operating budget for the dorm which, if followed correctly, would result in FKCC recouping $262,000 of an $800,000 loan made to the DSO by the college during the latter phase of the project's construction.
During the discussion, both Artin and the board agreed upon the need for FKCC to build up a cushion of additional funds to pay for normal wear and tear on the property, which can house up to 100 students in shared suites. Should the DSO and the college follow the agreement to the letter, FKCC will also receive any income from the dorm in excess of the $262,000 figure.
But the agreement comes at a cost to the college.
In exchange for being allowed to keep the extra cash, the institution must agree to raise dorm rates to what the current "market will bear;" require a two-semester lease from dorm residents, and institute a security deposit. The last item was already on the college's radar, but had yet to be made a requirement.
Lapis also wants the college to conduct a capital campaign, and form a committee to explore other revenue stream possibilities, such as could be obtained through avenues like food and beverage sales. (Each dorm unit has its own kitchen.)
In addition, the college must try harder to keep the money-losing dorm full during the summer, and issue monthly reports on Lagoon Landing's financial progress.
Lastly, Lapis wants the college to agree to continue managing the property, and pick up the tab for audits and other administrative costs, currently running between $30,000 and 35,000 per year.
"This is not a free ride for two years," Artin stressed during the discussion. "This is about the limit that [Lapis] can do . . . they're going to sit tight for two years."
Board Vice Chair Tim Koenig said Monday evening that the breathing room will give all parties a chance to assess a realistic payment scheme going forward.
"The discussion about permanent interest or principal reduction will come after we've come through this one- or two-year period, when we all have a better understanding of whether or not that will be necessary," Koenig said. "During this time, the college and foundation will both do their best to reduce expenses and maximize revenues. Lapis meanwhile has put forth some ideas that they think might assist this process, which they've seen work at other colleges. It's a strategy we're implementing together."
Lapis currently holds about 80 percent of the bonds. Smaller shareholders own the rest.
As the price for his support of the forbearance agreement, board member Brian Schmitt insisted that two conditions be attached to the agreement: One, that no further college cash be advanced to the Campus Foundation, and two, that the college officially challenge a finding last year by the state Auditor General (AG), that FKCC acted illegally in loaning the $800,000 to the DSO. The AG says the loan came from Public Education Capital Outlay (PECO) funds.
The college disagrees.
"We have a letter from the Department of Education saying that $212,000 of the $800,000 was legally spent for capital expenses," Koenig explained. "Another $570,000 of college money was spent on the project. It wasn't PECO money. And the bondholders have already allowed about $60,000 of that to flow back to the college."
The AG's finding resulted in a warning being issued to the college by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) that its accreditation was in danger, as any loan of PECO cash to the DSO threatened the construction of the marine technology building, for which the money had been earmarked. The college has maintained that what it did was legal, and a common practice among Florida colleges and universities, and said as much in a three-page letter sent by Artin to the AG earlier this year.
In response the A.G.'s office merely restated its disagreement with that position.
Business and Administrative Services Director Jean Mauk announced at Monday's meeting that the marine technology building is now complete.
"This is not going to stop," Schmitt said of the AG's decision, and its effect on the college, via SACS. "It will continue to haunt this institution" until the matter is settled.
Schmitt also called the forebearance agreement "kicking the can down the road."
Artin agreed with Schmitt about the AG/SACS connection, stating that "this mess . . . is all interrelated."
Koenig was even more adamant about pursuing a legal remedy to the AG's claim.
"If you look at where the college is right now, our fund balance is at 23 percent, four times where the stress test threshold says it needs to be," he said. "And the marine building is complete. I think that speaks volumes. Despite what the AG said, the only issue remaining is how much of the loan we're going to get back from the DSO. Even if we were to get nothing back from them, we'd still be well above a 5 percent fund balance, where we need to be."
Artin, who works for the law firm of Bryant, Miller, Olive, of Tallahassee, said a final draft of the forbearance agreement could be ready for the parties to sign by the end of the week.
Both the board of trustees and College President Jonathan Gueverra indicated they would like to see the new arrangement in place before the next annual visit from SACS representatives, two weeks from now. State auditors will be right behind them a week later.
More than once during the proceedings, Gueverra shook his head when listening to the sums involved in what he called a waste of college resources and time, which was initiated before his arrival at the college.
"We're never going to do something like this again," Gueverra said, referring to the loan to the DSO. "It's just not going to happen."
Monday's vote was a long time coming.
Lagoon Landing has been losing money "before the doors were open" according to Artin, with residents complaining about its remote location, and frequent inspections for contraband such as drugs and alcohol.
Also during Monday's meeting, the board agreed to increase its numbers by two, for a total of seven. The board will request the governor's appointments to the body reflect the geography of the county, giving the board a makeup of three trustees from Key West, and two each from the Middle, and Upper Keys.

A close friend of ours here at LokalSoul, AJ Koh is one of those young surfers who gets the classic style of longboarding. We always talk about our favorite surfers, you know – Alex Knost, Joel Tudor, Tyler Warren, etc. When we are at the lineup, we're always like telling each other about how we got wiped out trying to cross step, or how we almost got to hang ten before getting wiped out. And after a day's session, we would always ask Buji Libarnes of Coast Thru Life for tips and techniques that we try so hard to follow the next day. But whatever small accomplishments we got, we were happy for each other like brothers do.
And so our surf bro was at his home break Liwa this past weekend where the waves were all time epic. Sadly we missed it, but thanks to Allen Aligam's photos we got to see how great it was. Here are some of AJ's action shots, obviously taking in what Buji has told many times before.

If we were there at the lineup we'd be giving high fives for sure! We're stoked just to see this. And you know what's more awesome? This is just AJ's 1st year of surfing. He used to be more of a skater before and only took up surfing seriously a year ago. Our kid also is still in his 2nd year of College taking up Business Administration. His usual week is busy for school but whatever free time he gets he dedicates it to surf or skate. Surfing and learning. He really got that thing balanced for sure.
Just 1 year in surfing? Crazy right? That's probably what happens if you really wanna learn and ride waves and you're really passionate about it. So if you are reading this and you're still in school and you think you can't do this, well think again. You just saw AJ hang five.

now that's a model student right there
[…] and boom look who's surfing at Lindy's Point. I can recognize that style right away. I can also recognize that skin darkness from miles away. AJ is our surf bud and we did a feature on him recently called AJ Hangs Five. […]
[…] dreams are made of these. This kid is really good in balancing work and play. Well, that's studying and surfing. […]
