I just wanted to make sure I got the best treatment, I had it done 4 days ago. I am petite but have fat in my stomach area I am about 109 pounds. The physician did not come to verify but the nurse used a small applicator on me. I wanted to know since she used the smaller applicator will I not see good results or did I not fit the larger applicator? I want to know how results differ btwn the smaller vs larger applicator? Thanks.
CoolSculpting Applicator Size Difference?
Doctor Answers 9
Choosing the right applicator for CoolSculpting
With CoolSculpting the size of the applicator will be mostly be determined by the size and contour of the bulge being treated. The large applicator will treat a larger area and as a result more fat but some patient's bulges will not accomodate the larger hand piece. One must have a proper fit between the applicator and bulge in order for the treatment to be done. Finally, the larger applicator is more costly and sometimes a financial decision is made by a patient when there is a choice between the two, if cost is an issue.
Coolsculpting Applicator Sizes
Currently the Coolsculpting Applicators come in 3 sizes. There is a small, medium, and large. The large is about 2.5x larger than the medium. The key is to have the area you want treated sized with a template. A lot of times patients think they will need a large and I can show them with a template that a medium would fit better. Conversely, there are patients who think that they can treat their desired area and I show them that the large would accomplish a lot more. If the applicator does not fit, you cannot create suction and you cannot start a treatment. There is also a big difference in cost between the small and mediums which are the same price and the large. The cost is inherent in the price that the office has to pay to the company for a non reusable memory cycle for the machine to even run. I hope this explains why a consultation and template sizing is critical to achieving the best results!

Coolsculpting Applicator Size Difference
Yes, there are different applicator sizes and the way the correct applicator is chosen is by seeing which one would "fit" properly around the area to be treated. Sometimes if a large applicator is placed improperly, the results may be worse. If they achieved a good suction / fit of the applicator, you are probably going to see some results. Best Wishes!

CoolSculpting applicator choice
Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and member of the Aesthetic Society using the Smart Beauty Guide. These Plastic Surgeons can guide you on all aspects of facial surgery, breast augmentation and body procedures including CoolSculpting® tummy tucks or mommy makeovers!
Body reshaping can be performed with a cannula that removes fat via liposuction or with noninvasive technology like Cool Sculpting. With Cool Sculpting there is no cannula inserted into your body. All treatments are performed on the surface from the outside in using technology that freezes the fat. Don't hesitate to give us a call in Austin regarding a Body Reshaping Consult at the Upper Room. On our Facebook Page there is an Interview I recently did with KVUE, a local news station in Austin, that was picked by affiliates around the United States, including Miami. During the Interview we discussed the technology of Cool Sculpting as well as it application process.
The discomfort from treatment does resolve. Taking over the counter tylenol or naproxen resolves this in the majority of cases. If you have swelling that is persistent then a waist binder is helpful.

CoolSculpting Applicator Cost and Difference
Hi, your question is not uncommon. CoolSculpting is a relatively new technology and there are some significant differences between the applicators. CoolSculpting now offers four applicators. Three of the applicators usually fall in the same group and price range. These are the CoolFit, CoolCurve+, and CoolCore. Each has a slightly different cup style which allows the doctor to target more specific areas. The CoolCurve+ works great on flanks, whereas the CoolFit or CoolCore might be better choices for the stomach. It depends on your body. Your doctor should be able to show you the different applicators and explain why one might be better than another.
The larger applicator is called the CoolMax. It can treat approximately 2.5 times the area of the smaller applicators and is usually priced 1.5 to 2 times more than the smaller applicator. It offers great results and is actually more economical than the smaller applicators if you are a candidate for it......but not everyone is a candidate, and if you don't draw correctly in the large applicator you will be wasting your money. Talk to your doctor and see what he or she suggests. We use Zeltiq's new Treat to Transformation (T2T) in our practice and are seeing great results with multiple treatments. Best of luck.
Size does make a difference!
Size of the applicator is chosen based upon size of the fat bulge. If the fat bulge is larger and will enable the larger applicator to grab the fat completely, then we use that, if the converse is true and it is small, then we use the small applicator. They both work but there are some nuances to treatment that your physician should be aware of when choosing applicators.
Different applicators can be used in CoolSculpting / Zeltiq
Different practices may use different protocols for the application of the CoolSculpting. In my practice, either I or another physician, sees the patient in consultation and if they are determined to be a candidate for the procedure, templates are used to see which applicator fits the desired area of treatment, the best. If an applicator is too loose, then suction will not be maintained. If using the smallest, an opportunity of fitting more tissue into the medium applicator might be missed. Often, the smallest applicator is the only one that fits the area.

Hello new sailors and old!!!
Hi to all!
I started this adventure a year ago at age 55 and wish I started at 25 because the learning curve just in nautical terms alone will take at least the rest of my life...Having said that I must say I am completely addicted to this sport!!!! Grateful as well for I suffer with terrible depression and it only gets worse when I cant sail.My long term goal is to sail Abby Cat to the Bahama's and sail full time off the coast of Trinidad.This is just the final phase of my bucket list but wish it was the beginning. I would love to hear from anybody in the same bucket as me so we can commiserate.
Welcome to Sailnet (again), Todd!
Even if you'd started at 25, you wouldn't stop learning (or shouldn't) about sailing. There is always something new to learn. True, you wouldn't be as old when you reached each sailing milestone but, meh. At least you started.
55 is the new 35 so you're still on your Wish List, not your Bucket List.
THANKS FOR THE REPLY Donna,
Just to let you know learning isn't the issue its the becoming of a sailor that takes the years that I don't have.55 maybe the new 35 if you are in good health to begin with.If I make 60 Ill be very fortunate indeed... So long term is next year for me.It probably should be for everyone for no one has a guarantee of time.

The author of an upcoming cookbook took up temporary residence in Brighton Beach to work on the project, and her experience spurred her to declare the seaside neighborhood "one of the world's best places to write a cookbook" in Food & Wine magazine.
Jill Donenfeld's forthcoming cookbook is about toast, which she calls "the perfect meal," making her immediately suspect in my book (c'mon, pizza is the perfect meal and toast is just the thing you shove in your facehole when you're rushing to work). But I'll give her the benefit of the doubt because she knows Southern Brooklyn is awesome.
Anyway, Donenfeld locked herself up in an apartment abutting the boardwalk for three months to write the book.
"I like the feeling of being a foreigner," she told the magazine. "It's very quiet within, even though there is so much new stimulation. It's a great recipe for inspiration."
Among the things unique to the area that helped her get work done was the proximity to the boardwalk, where she could run and clear her mind, and the accessibility and affordability of smoked fish, with all its "brain-boosting omega-3s."
She also found inspiration exploring the Eastern European influence of the area, including discovering kvas and a vegan pate called mtsvane lobio (I'll have to try that one – any recommendations?).
Oh, and banyas… where, post-sauna, she was stuffed with more smoked sturgeon.

The Missouri Tigers are the 19th best team in the country according to Kendall Rogers of Rivals. He believes that the toughest challenge that the Tigers will have to overcome is losing 2/3 of the pitching rotation. They will have to also replace Jacob Priday who was a major power threat last season with 16 homers. The full article from Rivals is available by clicking here.
Missouri has probably one of the better cathcers not just in the BIG 12 but in the Country in Trevor Coleman. Coleman will be the key to the Tigers success this year.
I have seen Coleman in person once and he did nothing in that game. I need to see him more to make a better determination.
Missouri will be in Austin for the first Conference weekend series starting on March 13th. Gibson vs. Ruffin!!
Coleman is a stud.
He impressed me very much.
Aaron Senne is very impressive as well.
Agree on Coleman, not sure how he got out of Central Texas and away from Texas.

Get Out!
Kim Shattuck and her Muffs riders stampede the HOB, and Ray Barbee wings back from Japan with hopefully an armful of rare vintage guitars for a show at Detroit.
Once-Wonderlove singer/strummer and current Gypsy Lounge light fixture Chris Paul Overall has a fresh-stamped album out today: The Bruiser(mocked up with fakey shots of Overall all barfought out) is radio pop/rock songs all tricked out with production that puts every second of music in a cozy digital pen. Like he claims himself: Beatles plus Freddie Mercury eating a sandwich, and one side of Stevie Wonder. Plus oatmeal FM guitar tone and songs that are probably about love and life, two things everyone has to deal with whether they want to or not. Tip a glass as salute at the Gypsy Lounge.
AND: Apparently all those bands that hide their bald spots under a tarball of black dye and their beer bellies under a black T-shirt advertising their favorite black T-shirt company hugely adored and ripped off the old Jersey band Lifetime, which is understandable because Lifetime was fantastic cranky kid music—sappy, funny, sad, smart and really fast so you didn't have to worry about actually dancing with anyone—but not understandable because Lifetime basically played the PCH club once and there weren't any future members of Fall Out Boy there to see it. A posthumous discography is a dangerous thing, and next-gen popcore is more mayonnaised than ever. But Lifetime still kick around, and when their creaky old knees need an ice break, singer Dan Yemin packs his other band Paint It Black into the same van: part Lifetime-y smart sap, part growly Black Flag '82 shed-bred discontent ("Exit Wounds," off last year's album). More velocity than melody, the flip of the Lifetime operandi. At Chain.
Coachella is a dream date if you're too young to get into a bar show and too scared to drive your folks' sparkly car to Echo Park for an all-ages show and too hopeful to care about 16 directions of rogue sound-bleed that mush every set together and too snuggly in love to worry about the humanzee portapots—holdin' hands and holdin' it in and hustling to the Del Taco afterward. But if the romance locks you up, you might gorge away for Atmosphere, TV on the Radio advancing maybe a new record, Animal Collective beating on carpet, Devendra Banhart (be cool if he was electric by now), der Juan Maclean, Deerhoof insane, Celebration, Wolfmother if you're not over dude-rock by now, and Matt Costa if you are his tight bro from way back when. At the polo field by Indio; allow six hours for transit, and if your cell doesn't work, just hold it in the air over your head till you get a signal.

More Coachella: Sleater-Kinney sound like Blue Cheer plus Linda Sharrock; Dungen is Os Mutantes with a Viking helmet; Murs is coming hot off his Paid Dues fest into that new album with 9thWonder and Giant Drag go meow-meow-meow-meow.

Between an angry sun and an empty field in Indio.
AND: Colombian dos mutantes Aterciopelados back for double-dipping psych/soul/Latin/rock at the Grove.
New Detroit residents the Transmissions harsh out a calculated post-pop like the stuff that French Kiss Records loves: every drumbeat and every guitar chord cut in half so we can see how the insides work. Vocals get a little too Tom Verlaine sometimes—and too Tom Verlaine is basically Mickey Mouse—but there's a blown-out Mission of Burma vibe ("Traffic," and maybe some tape manipulation in the last hunk of "Self v. Self," which, if so, great work!) and some fun rubbery Quine-y guitar lines so you can forgive them for getting so excited into the mic. Produce this by Albini and watch it tick-tock like crazy.
You will remember Imogen Heap from her curtain-call song "Hide and Seek," which closed out some season of The O.C.—soft focus, half-open lips, a little nervous giggle and a cockeyed kiss, and maybe that guy got shot too—and subsequently enjoyed a billion downloads on iTunes. Just her and her vocoder and she doesn't ever pour in one of those soda-pop dance beats—a cute thing to listen to once, or see OC people bleed on a carpet to, if it was that episode. Maybe it was the one where the guy ran away on a boat. At the Glass House.
Potentially superior club VSOP (presented by Vapors mag and some other humans) debuts with a DJ fresh from the big scary citay of New York and a vague style-wars summer-in-the-city vibe. Step into the slaughtahouse at Detroit.

Justin Bieber's 'Believe Acoustic' Bonus Track Leaked
January 29th, that's the day 'Believe Acoustic' hit's the stores, and I'm pretty excited for it! The bonus track for the album has already leaked though, it's nothing like you've ever heard from Justin Bieber and I have it here for you to listen to!
'Nothing Like Us' is the name of the bonus track, and it's a side of the Biebs that you may not be used to. 'Nothing Like Us' is a really raw emotional track. It's very grown up and has a lot of heartache in it (I'm really selling this song aren't I? haha heartache? Emotional? Grown up? YIKES!).
There is some speculation that this song could be about the broken relationship between him and Selena. But that hasn't been confirmed. Listen to the lyrics, see what you think.
It's a very soft song, and nothing like the upbeat dance worthy songs we're used to from the Biebs. But this song is just him and a piano. Nothing super special about his vocals, just him singing, but he definitely has a very emotional soft tone to his voice through this song.
I really like it, even though it kind of makes me want to watch a Channing Tatum movie and eat ice cream…
Check it out for yourself below!

MICROSOFT ASATAP ADAPTER 2 NOT WORKING WITH VISTA(20 posts)
Hi Vince, try running this command in an elevated Command Prompt,
sfc /scannow
Lighthouse I need a little help on what an elevated command prompt is, im not that techy
Right click on the Command Prompt shortcut, and select "Run as Administrator"
ok lighthouse sussed elevated command prompt its running now i will let you know the outcome
it says windows resource protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them, details are included in the cbs .log windir\logs\cbs.log. for example c:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log but i still have a yellow triangle over the driver, going to reboot
Then I think you need to get a new driver from either your computer manufactures, or the devices, support site.
not sure what it does, i have disabled it without seeing any problems, do you think its possible to uninstall the driver and then reinstall it
If you uninstall it, it will re-install on your next reboot. You can try that.
Shut down the laptop, unplug everything, take battery out, leave for 15 mins..Battery back in restart, and see what happens.

Tips to Drive Sales From Mobile Email Campaigns
There's no question that making it easier to read email on a mobile device is a good idea. The numbers on smartphone browsing continue to rise. With email such an important driver of e-commerce sales, it's only natural to think about the experience of a consumer reading your message on a smartphone.
So how do you execute a mobile-friendly email campaign in a way that actually improves sales? I've seen many "good ideas" produce unimpressive and even disastrous results. The best way to make sure you achieve your objective is to split test an email campaign that you've optimized for a smartphone against your standard creative.
To get ideas for your test, start by reviewing the smartphone performance of your last five to 10 email campaigns. Best practices are great to use as a starting point, but each audience is slightly different. Your own results will give you an idea of how to tweak best practices to fit your situation. If your email service provider doesn't have the data you need broken out by device, here are three steps to get the information via Google Analytics:
- Use utm coding in your email links to identify specific email campaigns/creative (e.g., utm_medium=email&utm_source=bulk&utm_campaign=BlackFridaySale).
- Create an advanced segment for smartphones. The segment should include mobile equal to "yes," and exclude "mobile device model" containing iPad and "mobile device marketing name" containing "Tablet" and "Tab."
- If you have a mobile-optimized site (and you should!), code clicks on your phone number as an event; give the event some monetary value for producing a call that's likely an order.
You'll likely see that some email creative produced a higher than average percentage of total clicks, transactions and sales (including a "click to call" event) on mobile devices, while other creative haven't produced a dime on smartphones.

How to Make Your Cupcakes Truly Pop (For Pops!)
My girlfriend Cecille was inspired to make cupcake pops for Father's Day, even though it's super girly! But we thought it would be cute and fun to try out this popular recipe she had found online. Instead of the typical cupcakes you normally see, we made miniature cupcakes on a stick and wrapped each one in plastic treat bags and tied them with ribbons. It makes for great presentation! However, it really isn't as easy as it sounds…
This is a cute treat for any occasion, and will definitely "wow" your family and friends. But let me warn you guys – it is very time consuming and more difficult than it looks. Let's just say we were supposed to have a batch of 30, but ended up destroying 8 of them during production! But in the end, we were proud of how it turned out, considering it was our first time. Great job, Cecille! Lookin' forward to more baking with you in the future.

Continue to the downtown area of Las Vegas, and don't miss our 360 degree tour of Fremont Street. This street was where it all began, from a small railroad stop at the turn of the century to one of the brightest streets in the world. Fremont street was one of the best places to cruise in a convertible car for decades but now the street has been closed off to traffic and it is a pedestrian paradise lined with kiosks, souvenir shops and of course plenty of casinos. Up above an arched steel canopy lights up the night sky with an animated, electronic show that spans the entire four blocks of Fremont Street. Further down Fremont Street is the newly developing non-gaming sector of "Fremont East District" lined with Bars, Coffee shops and places to eat, including newly opened Container Park.

character. Therefore there will be no changes to technical and
dynamic characteristics of the car to be converted. All original
X6�s mechanicals will be kept unchanged in the new coupe as well as
the wheel base.
The new coupe�s exterior
has the same proportions and shape as the BMW X6.
In the body construction
principal changes were made to the B-pillars: they were moved back
at 250mm. The doors have been also extended respectively to the
certain length. The distinctive part of the side windows at the back
was moved forward at 200mm. In connection to these changes upper
line of the windows changed its curvature and became steeper at the
back. The rear side panels with fenders are entirely new. Side
windows area is fully covered with glass with no facings at the door
pillars. An exclusively designed body-kit making the car look more
aggressive will be offered as an option. Also upon customer�s
request a panoramic roof can be fitted.
There are 4 seats in the
new coupe with the seats layout 2+2. All interior dimensions of the
standard serial BMW X6 including ceiling height remain unchanged.
The front seats are modified: they completely re-designed in a
sporty style to be fitted and used in the 2-door vehicle. There is
an option of folding the back rest. Also the sliding mechanism
allows the seat to move forward to make rear passengers� entrance
comfortable. The back seats remain as they are in a standard car.
There are new side panels with new pads and armrests at the back of
the coupe�s interior.
ARMG Coupe will be
offered both with standard BMW body paintwork and with an option of
choosing an individual color. There could be numerous options of
tuning and modifying the chassis upon the customer�s request: new
engine, suspension, transmission, exhaust system, brakes. Interior
individualization also virtually has no limits: new anatomic seats
and steering wheel, leather and alcantara upholstery, carbon, metal,
wood, incrustation.
All cars for conversion
will be delivered directly from BMW factory to the production
facilities in Germany. Estimated production volume is 100-150
vehicles. ARMG Coupe will be on sale all over the world through
ArmorTech-Motors Group and its partners� sales network.
ARMG Coupe will have a
factory 2 years warranty. All service work will be done by
authorized BMW service centers.

Question: What does Google NOT have you do that every Social "walled garden" does?
Hint: It's something every Corporate network user does every day without even thinking about it …
Answer: the humble Login.
Most Google Search users are conditioned that they can use Google whenever and wherever they want, without the need to login.
Corporate network users and Social network users know they have to log in to be able to use their services and get done what they need to get done.
So Google's Social Mission is to make it imperative that users have a Google Profile, and login to be able to use their stuff.
So they've got to come up with innovative ways to make it irresistible to login for killer social toys.
Have they done that with Google+ , Circles, Sparks, Hangouts and more …?

Homeowners and other borrowers are likely to be spared from higher interest rates for at least another month after Australia's soaring dollar helped drive the annual inflation rate to its lowest level in four years.
The average cost of living rose just 0.5 per cent in the December quarter, as cheaper electrical equipment, drugs, petrol and bread partly offset surging prices for fruit, vegetables, houses, beer, eating out, medical services and domestic travel.
The rise took the annual inflation rate from 2.6 per cent to 2.4 per cent - the lowest since the December quarter of 1999, Bureau of Statistics figures showed.
The Reserve Bank board meets in Sydney on Tuesday to vote on increasing rates, after lifting its official cash rate in November and December last year amid concerns about soaring household debt and property prices.
Treasurer Peter Costello said inflation was trending towards the bottom of the Reserve's 2 to 3 per cent target range, suggesting there was little need for it to lift rates a third time to contain price pressures.
"We don't see an outbreak of inflationary factors there and we certainly don't see inflation moving outside the band of 2 to 3 per cent, which is what we set," he said. But the inflation result has left the Reserve in a tricky situation. While it has suggested rates are still too low for a racing economy, it faces opposition to any rate rises from the Government in an election year.
Economists said the soaring dollar - which cuts the price of petrol, imported cars, clothes and electrical equipment - had given homebuyers a temporary reprieve from higher borrowing costs.
BT Financial Group senior economist Tracey McNaughton predicted that rate rises were off the agenda for February, and possibly March.
"A fall in inflation, evidence of weaker housing activity, strength in the currency, and concerns surrounding the sustainability of the US recovery are all reasons to suggest the RBA will sit on its hands in February," Ms McNaughton said.
Excluding tradeable items affected by exchange rate movements, prices increased by 4.4 per cent in 2003, as health costs jumped 7 per cent, education costs by nearly 5 per cent, and child-care costs by 10.5 per cent.
On-going effects from the drought were evident in the figures, with lamb and mutton prices up 15.6 per cent for the year and egg prices up 13 per cent. Recent floods pushed the price of fruit and vegetables up 10.6 per cent in the December quarter. But this was offset by a 21 per cent drop in the cost of computers and audio-visual equipment, and a 2.6 per cent fall in car prices.
Shadow treasurer Simon Crean said the inflation result masked the financial stress that rising prices were causing for some families struggling to pay education and health bills.
HSBC economist Anthony Thompson warned that the impact of the stronger dollar would eventually wear off. He predicted that strong housing borrowing and emerging price pressures would force the Reserve to raise rates by April.
Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Peter Hendy said the inflation result was another reason to reject union demands for a 5.9 per cent increase in the minimum wage.

What I did
Niagara Falls
Read my review - 5/5 stars
Read my review - 5/5 stars
A journey up the Hudson River, through small and larger towns with names I'd heard for years, Yonkers, Poughkeepsie, Schenectady, Hudson and Buffalo to name a few, is a pleasant and relaxing way to travel, especially if you've booked a business class ticket and virtually have the whole table to yourself in the dining car. The scenery didn't take long to change from built up city to a peaceful, wide brown river, with forests, lilly covered swamps and ponds, and cornfields hidden away in between them for as far as the eye could see
I took a taxi to cross to my accommodation on the Canadian side, and am still not sure if I should have booked the train to the Canadian station. The conductor told me that it would be quicker and easier to get through customs checkpoints at the border when in the taxi than at the other end with everyone from the train. The American side I was driven through is the town that tourists forgot, and has so many boarded up businesses and neglected buildings it resembles a ghost town by comparison with what I was about to encounter. When you see even a KFC with "closed down" on boards nailed across the door, you know something's gone wrong! (Or right, depending on how you feel about fast food chains...)
I had my first glimpse of the horseshoe falls as we crossed the rainbow bridge, at the end of which is the border crossing into Canada
I'd been warned by several friends who have been to Niagara that parts of it can be a bit "commercialized", even tacky, so was only partly surprised when we drove up Clifton Hill. Maybe it can be compared to a kids version of Vegas, with a few things thrown in to make the adults feel included. The pavements were thick with people, traffic crawled between game parlours, takeaway joints, dodgy looking nightclubs, souvenir stores and more tacky, brightly neon lit attractions than even a kid at a carnival could wish for
My motel was in a quiet street only a few minutes walk from the huge, multi-storey Hyatt, Marriott etc, where people who have lots of money choose to stay. If you're high enough up in THEM you'll have a view of the falls, however, I decided I could manage quite nicely without that in my hasn't-been-updated-since-the 1970's motel just down the road. Although, I thought calling it Fallsview Inn was a tad misleading, as even before all the Multi story hotels were built in front of it, the only thing you'd have seen of the falls from there would be the mist rising hundreds of feet above them. The room WAS old, and despite a no smoking policy, the smell indicated that obviously you were allowed to at one time, and the carpet and curtains had not been updated since it was put in place, but the bed was fine, as was the bathroom
The next morning I didn't hurry to rise, and once I did it was to find a bus that would take me to the closest Laundromat. I had decided that I needed to wash all of my clothing again, just to make sure I had gotten rid of every bed bug I'd picked up in Boston. I had a mortal horror that they had followed me, my 70+ bites from, let's not forget the name, 40 BERKELEY ST HOSTEL, were still tormenting me. I was slathering them with hydrocortisone cream regularly, taking antihistamine tablets to the recommended limits, and using every ounce of will power I possess not to scratch them. It stopped me from feeling the least bit guilty for giving them a bad review on Booking.com when asked to submit one, that's for sure! So by the time I'd hauled two bags across town (and cursed myself for bringing so much clothing), put it through the dryer on high, then washed it, then dried it all again, the best part of the day had gone. After taking it all back to the inn and hanging it to air, I jumped on the next bus and headed in the opposite direction this time to the falls.
Niagara Falls has had a relatively new tourist bus system installed within the last year, called WEGO
Arriving at Table Rock, I heard them and saw that spray rising hundreds of metres into the air before the incredible rush of water appeared before me. The river was a deep, dark blue right up to the edge of the falls, and then just as it tumbled over the edge of the cliff with a mighty roar, it turned a beautiful aquamarine, before plunging into a cloud of white spray over 165 feet below. It was a sunny day and rainbows appeared frequently, giving me what would turn out to be the best photo opportunities in my entire time there. You can see all the photos and guidebooks that you want before you get there, but I don't think anything can really prepare you for their power and beauty
This is what I had been hoping to experience, and no amount of crappy entertainment, loud and boozy holiday makers and outdated accommodation was going to spoil that for me! I spent the rest of the day walking around the area and exploring the Canadian side of the falls, managing to get on the last Maid of the Mist tour of the day at 7:45pm. That turned out to be wonderful timing as well, as we weren't packed in like sardines as all the other tours I'd observed from above. There was plenty of room to move around in our big blue garbage bag-like raincoats as we steamed down to the roaring Horseshoe Falls. If they'd seemed intimidating from above, observing safe and relatively dry from the edge, then they were awesome and even a bit terrifying from below. If you'd stood right at the front of the boat, you may as well have just turned a hose on yourself and be done with it, I've never heard so much screaming when people are obviously enjoying themselves! There was a point when there was really not much point in taking any more photos, unless you had a waterproof camera....it was great fun, and I got a couple of shots just as the setting sun touched the top of them, but I know they won't do justice to how beautiful they were
Looking up at them, I shuddered to think that a woman, aged 63, was the first one to attempt to go over the falls in a pickle barrel. Her name was Annie Taylor, the year was 1901, and she had nothing other than compressed air from a bicycle pump and a "lucky pillow" with her(!) She had chosen to go over them to prove you could survive doing so. More like prove you were in need of psychological intervention! Someone who did not go over by choice, and yet lived to tell the tale, was the even more incredible story of 7 year old Roger Woodward. After a boating accident further up the river, he was swept over in July 1960. He was wearing only a life jacket and a swim suit. The Maid Of The Mist II picked him out of the water, and above the falls, his 17 year old sister was rescued by on lookers before she went over as well. The driver of their boat tragically drowned. Don't tell me a higher power wasn't looking out for that boy, because surviving that was nothing short of a miracle.
I enjoyed a late dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe after this, filling in time until the fireworks I'd been told were on Friday and Sunday nights at 10pm were to begin
Day two, Saturday the 27th, and I went to see the rapids further up the river, some lovely gardens, and then as far as the bus went in the opposite direction. The whirlpool car crosses at a point where the river takes such a sharp right angled turn that the force of the water has gouged out a huge gorge from softer rock and soil, and the rapidly turning water spirals into a churning mess below. I thought I got a good enough view from the edge without paying to cross it.
Once back in town, I decided it might be a good idea to see the falls from the American side, so I walked up to the pedestrian crossing on Rainbow Bridge
The final day in Niagara was alternatively sunny and overcast, so I headed to the falls once again, after first exploring a local shopping centre and buying myself a pandora charm to represent New York, a silver apple. I explored more around Table Rock, right at the Canadian edge of the Horseshoe Falls, and saw the Niagara 4D movie, which saw me getting soaked again in a poor attempt to recreate the spray of the falls
I managed to find the nice Canadian Mountie who was scheduled to be around to pose for photos with tourists, and then wandered right down to Clifton Hill again. The main attraction for me there was a 24 hour Tim Hortons coffee shop, which I was sorely missing after several weeks in America. Also, their food is so much better than what Starbucks offers! The big sky wheel is right next to it, so that was next on the agenda. That gave a great view over the whole area and put things in perspective. After this I went to a park just across the road from the falls, found a comfortable tree to lean against, spectacular view in front of me, and finished off my New York blog while it was still fresh in my mind.
It was Sunday night, I was due to leave early the next morning, I'd organised a taxi to come and pick me up at 5:30am, but I decided to stay and watch the fireworks again
It's so hard to judge how much time you should spend in some places, I could have seen everything I wanted to see in Niagara in two days, and spent another night in New York, or as I was to wish, in Quebec City. But I don't regret travelling by train to get there and back, as the journey was scenic and a nice way to relax and not feel I had to run around and see as much as I could.
Niagara, glad I got to experience it, but definitely would not want to live there...too many tourists!

Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Was looking for a couple of chairs to fit in my bay window and somewhat match our current couch. 2 of these chairs did the trick. They add additional seating options. They swivel from conversation to television easily. They are stiff from being new, but still comfortable. They are the perfect size for my bay window area.
Great chair
Purchased on sale, no assembly required, excellent buy.
Bought this swivel arm chair on a flash sale. Chose it over similar ones that were less expensive. It is very light and, unfortunately, both wobbly and flimsy. My spouse is tall and thin and he feels it is uncomfortable for his frame. I am small and it's comfortable with my legs tucked under me. Would never have purchased if we had tried it first.
It looks nice overall, and it's comfortable. However, the construction down the front of the arms looks bumpy and uneven.
This is the perfect swivel chair good for all functional needs. Great to just sit in and relax, read, watch TV. The swivel is great especially when having conversations with different people or if you have one of those busy homes where there is a lot of activity.
We needed seating in a game room on one side the couch, on the other a large screen TV. We have a full size pool table in the middle. These chairs are small but with a firm seat. They are VERY confortable! We love them.
We are empty nesters. The kids moved out and took the furniture with them, so we had a gameroom to fill. I got a large regulation pool table and put it in the center. We put a giant TV at one end and a sofa at the other. We needed more seating and needed the seating to be able to carry on conversation with people on the sofa yet be able to see the TV. We looked everywhere and could not believe the value. The expresso BONDED leather LOOKS just the same as on the 2000.00+ sofa. The ability to turn works great in our room. The seat is firm and is very confortable. We bought two for less then the end tables. Love at first sit.
I use these chairs to entertain by by bar area and can be moved for kids in media/tv room. Also a good chair for company by your coffee table. I would recommend these chairs to my friends.
Used as lounge area in front of fireplace adjacent to kitchen. These chairs are so comfy you can sit in them for hours.
We used this in a Leasing Office! Perfect for Adults and Kids!!!
Bought this chair for a corner in the bedroom. Perfect size, color, shape. VERY comfortable and love the swivel.
Using in a master bedroom sitting area with small round complimentary table

Keswick propane tank damaged as a hate crime against a gay couple
SHASTA, Calif. - The Shasta County Sheriff's Office said on Wednesday that the propane leak incident from Tuesday night in the Keswick area was not an accident. In fact, they said it was a malicious hate crime against a gay couple.
CAL FIRE responded to the incident off of Bush Street around 11 p.m. on Tuesday and found a 500 gallon tank of propane leaking. At first, CAL FIRE said they thought the propane leak was an accident. However, upon further investigation, they found that the propane tank was intentionally damaged.
"It went from the panic and worry of an accident to immediate fear," said one of the victims.
The couple decided to talk about the hate crime, but they were too shaken up by the attack to use their names.
39 homes were evacuated due to their propane tank leak and after the scene was cleared, the couple discovered that their car had also been vandalized.
"I don't understand why you would do that to somebody," said one of the victims. "It does bring fear. I don't want someone to come back and do it again."
The couple found their car completely destroyed. The back window was broken, the side of the car was keyed, all four tires were slashed and an obscene word was written on the front of their car's hood.
"Hate crimes are still happening," said one of them.
The couple said there is nothing they can do but hope that ignorance is something that diminishes and that people realize that it's a serious issue.
"We need to take a stand and show our children that injustices in the world are not OK, that you should always stand up for what you believe in," one of the victims said.
The Shasta County Sheriff's Office said the investigation is ongoing. If anyone has any information about the crime, they are asked to contact the Sheriff's Office.

Dorothy Eather nee Kinsela 1839-1915 tells her story
After the death of George Eather 1834-1912, his widow Dorothy (Dora),nee KINSELA 1839-1915 recalled her experience during the Hawkesbury flood of June 1867 in which 12 members of the EATHER family lost their lives:
" The waters crept up until only three rows of shingles were out. Then, the roof collapsed and twelve were drowned. It was a new slab house, just built at the time and when the waters began to rise they regarded it as the safest shelter. The water overflowed the flats and they were cut off. George CUPITT was taking some men away in a boat when one said to Mrs. EATHER, " You had better go up in the boat to your sister's and take the four children with you." At first she refused, saying she would have to bake some bread and get everything in the loft before morning. However, they prevailed upon her to go, her husband staying. When they were getting into the boat, Tom and Bill Eather came over with their families to take refuge in the new house. Mrs. Bill EATHER said. "You won't forget us if the water's come over the ridge?" she was asked to get into the boat too, but she refused. They pulled away at 4 in the afternoon.
That night the river rose fast. In the morning Mrs. SMITH and Mrs ? EATHER came from Clarendon into Richmond and tried in vain to get a boat sent over. At night they went back to Clarendon. About 1 o'clock they saw a signal light away over the water, in the direction of the house. It was the family still on the roof. They put rags and papers on the end of a fishing rod. Lit them and returned the signal.
They rushed down to a man with a boat and told him. A dozen men were standing around and none offered to go. It was dark and raining. Mr. DIGHT's coachman, named RILEY, came along and when he was told of the trouble, he went to Mr.DIGHT, who sent him galloping away to try and secure the public boat when it came to shore and offer the crew 50 pounds to go out at once , and save the Eathers. The boat was got about 10 o'clock. and three men offered to go out. To help them to steer across a fire was lit at DIGHT's. They reached the house about half an hour too late."
The Mr. DIGHT mentioned by Dora is Arthur DIGHT 1819-1895 to whom the Eather's will be forever grateful. Although it was too late by this time. He rallied when others turned their backs. When Thomas Eather 1828-1916 remarried Caroline MCKELLAR 1847-1915 he named his second son Arthur after the brave Mr. Dight.
A letter from Margaret Catchpole
MARGARET CATCHPOLE was born in Suffolk on the 14 March 1762 the daughter of Elizabeth Catchpole. She was transported for life and arrived in Sydney onboard the 'Nile' on the 14 December 1801. She worked at one time for a very good friend of the Eather's (my ancestors), Arthur DIGHT 1819-1895 at 'Mountain View' Richmond. She was a prolific letter writer and chronicler. paper, back in those days was not cheap and Margaret used every space on the paper first writing across the page and then down. There are several stories online about Margaret. For the interest of the members of Family Tree Circles I wanted to show you part of one of her letters, unfortunately I was not able to attach the whole page. All her letters have been transcribed. What a painstaking job that would have been.
For those interested, there are several stories about her online.
Gold Fever and women
Some people believed that finding gold would be easy!
Indeed! The reality was hard work. Intense heat and dust in the summer, bringing clouds of flies and mosquitoes then very cold winters and of course there was the mud.
Wives and children had little choice but to accompany their men to the diggings and they were among the thousands of people who became ill with dysentery and typhoid.
Drinking water was polluted by panning and by sewage that escaped from the thousands of holes the miners dug to use as toilets. The diet was inadequate, the basic food was mutton, damper, tea and sugar and nobody escaped the inflated food prices. You truly had to find more than a few specks to afford fruit and vegetables. Most diggers didn't bother to wash and shared their beds with fleas. 'Cures" for just about every imaginable ailment were available from the 'quacks, Sunday was observed everywhere as a day of rest. On this day men repaired their equipment mended their clothes and wrote letters home. Some sought out the sly-grog shops and drank away their aches and pains and blot out the fact they had failed to find gold and relieve their homesickness. Overall, the diggings were not a very pleasant place to be for most people.
Even getting to the goldfields was a life and death struggle.
As news of Australian gold rushes swept the world all available ships were crammed with people hoping to make their fortunes. Up to half of the children on those ships died of contaminated food and water and diseases like Scarlet fever, measles and typhoid. On the diggings children continued to be at risk. In the first half of the 1850s 200 European and chinese children under two died at the Mt.Alexander diggings alone. Goldfields cemeteries are today resting places for thousands of children.
Official estimates have reckoned the total population on the Victorian goldfields in 1853 as 46,550 men, 10,747 women, and 11,590 children. Gold digging was an almost exclusively male activity.
Women on the goldfields have often been stereotyped as entertainers and prostitutes but most women were wives of miners or single women accompanying their families. Many women died in childbirth and had to cope with poor diet, the threat and fact of disease, the loneliness and the worries of trying to bring up a family on the goldfields. As towns developed , women played an active role in changing them into places where children could go to school and where the sick could be properly looked after.
A woman by the name of Ellen Clacy recorded her observations of life on the goldfields in Victoria in 1852:-
"But night at the diggings is the characteristic time: murder here-murder there- revolvers cracking-blunderbusses bombing-rifles going off-balls whistling-one man groaning with a broken leg.....Here is one man grumbling because he brought his wife with him, another ditto because he left his behind, or sold her for an ounce of gold or a bottle of rum. Donnybrook Fair is not to be compared to an evening at Bendigo. Success at the diggings is like drawing lottery tickets-the blanks far outnumber the prizes; still, with good health and strength, and above all perseverance, it is strange if a digger does not in the end reap a reward for his labour. Meanwhile he must endure almost incredible hardships. In the rainy season, he must not murmur if compelled to work up to his knees in water, and sleep on the wet ground, without a fire, in the pouring rain, and perhaps no shelter above him more waterproof than a blanket or a gum tree.....In the summer, he must work hard under a burning sun, tortured by the mosquito and the little stinging March flies....."
Some women were successful miners in their own right. Alice CORNWELL 1852-1932 known on the goldfields as "Princess Midas" or "Madam Midas" began mining on her father George CORNWELL's lease at Ballarat. She supervised miners who worked for her and instructed them where to dig for gold. She was so good at finding gold that she once paid 20,000 for a mine. The mine yielded her 100,000 in one year.
In 1887 she went to London and listed her Midas mine on the stock exchange. She also owned the London newspaper, The Sunday Times for five years.
She was enormously wealthy, with many financial and industrial enterprises.
Her financial operations were not less notable than her diamonds which were the talk of London. There is a book and a stage play based on her life.Also the National Gallery does own some biographical cuttings which may be viewed.
*The Photograph of Alice Ann Cornwell, below, was taken in 1900.
Lee Macdonald Cooke 1890-1936
Lee Macdonald Cooke was born on 26 February 1890 at Patricks Plains New South Wales. The son of George B COOKE 1865-1925 and Mary May CLARK 1865-1951 and sister to Lyndall Dorothy COOKE who married Stanley Common CLARK.
Lee married Mary Edith Isabel MERRICK 1896-1976 in 1916
I have attached a photo of Lee Cooke's bullock team. This great photo shows the team crossing the creek at Milbrodale - a tributary of Parson's Creek. Lee's family home "Leeholme" is about a kilometre up over the hill and on the right hand side of the road. This is the Putty Road. Once again, I don't have a date for ths photo either. The older generation never named or dated photos unfortunatley. So it is always an educated guess as to what year it was. He may have been in his 20's or early 30's which makes the photo about 1910-1930.
Lee died on the 25 April 1936 aged 46 - not very old. Lee reared Berkshire pigs. He used to show them at the Royal Easter Show in Sydney. At the Easter Show in 1936, he got wet and developed pneumonia, and died soon after.
Lee's grave stands alone in St Mark's Church graveyard at Bulga as his widow Mary married Pat ARCHINAL in 1938 after Lee died, and she is buried at Whittingham with Pat.
Peter Clark 1837-1863 NSW
Peter CLARK one of 12 children and second son of William CLARK 1811-1879 and Catherine MCALPIN 1814-1893 : In 1863 Peter, who was over 6' tall & age 25 years was engaged to Susannah CLARK 1838-1910 daughter of James Swales Clark. of Bulga (Susanna later married William Thomas SQUIRE on 7 April 1875).
After attending a wedding feast of friends, which lasted 3 days, he set out for "Guie" and "Doondi" two of his Uncle Wellow's (Wellow BALDWIN) stations. He was shot in the neck by the Bushranger WILSON on Warland?s Range, Blandford near Murrurundi. The news of his death was wired to Paddy CULLEN of the Fitzroy Hotel in Singleton, who rode out to tell Peter's parents as well as his fianc?e, who hurriedly got ready & went to Muswellbrook where Peter was subsequently buried.in Muswellbrook Cemetery where an elaborate sandstone monument stands over his tomb.
within days of Clark's death, A public subscription raised enough money to create one of the Hunter's most unusual memorials.
A stonemason erected the impressive Warland Range memorial which today still stands a few metres from where Clark fell, mortally wounded, 148 years ago.
The isolated monument, restored in the 1920s, is no longer on the main road. It can be reached by crossing the railway line at Blandford and following a signposted if rough road
There are many, many accounts published of the death of Peter Clark. This one, told by the decendants of Ashton CLARK 1844-1925:-
"On the 9th April 1863 a party of young men & a boy camped at Captains Lagoon near the foot of Warland?s Range. They were all residents of Bulga, & were now engaged on a droving trip, going from Bulga to the Gwee station owned by Mr. Baldwin on the Balonne River near the Queensland border, to take charge of 2 mob of cattle. The party consisted of 2 brothers James & Ashton CLARK, Peter CLARK & Samuel PARTRIDGE. James Clark was 23 years of age, Ashton was 19, Peter was nearly 26 & Samuel was 17 & was a drover?s boy for Peter Clark. Peter was no relation to James & Ashton, though at the time he was engaged to be married to a sister of the Clark brothers & was an intimate friend. All 4 were accustomed to the roads from childhood & bore unblemished characters. Until the 9th April the journey had passed without incident worth recording. The travelling had been pleasant & the party were full of good will to each other & the world in general. On the morning of the fatal day, the journey was resumed as usual, & a few miles on the party were joined by a man named John Conroy who was riding to Breeza & was travelling the same road. When near the site of the monument, up the long slope of the hill in the direction of Murrurundi, perhaps a quarter of a mile away, they saw 2 men galloping towards them. Both were mounted on good horses & to all appearances it seemed as though a race was in progress. one of the riders appeared to be a black. One of the number called out "Oh look at the race look at the race". All of them sat on their horses & enjoyed the sport. Another called out as the riders drew nearer "I'll back the blackfellow". In a few moments the situation was taken in at a glance. What to them appeared to be harmless sport was nothing else than a life & death ride between a bushranger with a revolver in his hand & a young man who preferred to ride for it rather than tamely obey the summons to "Bail up" & hand over to a bush blackguard even at the point of a pistol. The bushranger wore black crepe over his face, hence the mistaken identity, when the facts of the case were made known it transpired the pursued man was a young GORDON, the son of Doctor GORDON of Murrurundi, the bushranger gave his name as Wilson, but was believed on good authority to be MCMANUS. As they passed the party, the bushranger pulled up & young Gordon rode on. The bushranger rode slowly back toward them, Samuel PARTRIDGE imitated the example of Gordon & rode for it. Instead of keeping to the road he turned into the bush to escape & raise the alarm. The bushranger immediately gave chase & opened fire. Partridge said he heard the bullet whistle close past him. He galloped straight for a steep gully & the horse jumped it safely. Later it was measured & found to be 14 feet wide. After firing at Partridge & seeing he had small chance of overtaking him, he rode back to the remainder of the party. Seeing him fire & knowing he was a desperate man & riding towards them, they quietly dismounted, CONROY & James CLARK who was leading the packhorse, were a short distance in the rear. The bushranger jumped off his horse, threw the reins down & with the revolver in his hand walked up to Peter Clark & roughly ordered him to hand over. Peter delayed as long as possible as he saw James Clark quietly closing in on the bushranger from behind. He was wearing a big silver watch with a long chain around his neck, as was the fashion of the times. "Hand over that watch & be quick about it" Wilson said offensively. Peter slowly unwound the chain from his neck & held both the watch & chain in his left hand. "Hurry up there said Wilson" aggressive as before. Ashton Clark was standing a few yards away in full view of both men. he saw his brother about a rod behind the bushranger, & he saw the deadly gleam in Peter's eye, and the grim set countenance seem to denote a man who had made up his mind & counted the cost, whatever it might be. he shuddered for instinctively he felt a tragedy impending & the chances were against Peter. If only his brother could get up first. However brave a man might be, the chances were in favour of the man who was armed. He looked at the big powerful revolver in the bushrangers hand & knew he would shoot without hesitation if the necessity arose, for no one knew better than the robber what capture meant to him. Ashton Clark looked at his friend & in his heart said "God help him". The Bushranger also seemed to feel the strength of the man he was up against. With very bad grace, Peter held the watch & chain out to him with his left hand. For several seconds the robber hesitated to take it. Then he held out his hand to take it & Peter sprang at him. Just as quickly Wilson sprang straight back & fired point blank. The bullet passed through Peter's throat and out his neck to one side. Instantly he fired again, the bullet this time passed through the heart. No Sooner was the second shot fired that James Clark was on the bushranger from behind & seized him by the left arm. Instantly the bushranger turned the revolver over his left shoulder & fired at James. With wonderful presence of mind, James had thrown the bushrangers own arm before the muzzle & the bullet passed through the fleshy part of the thumb & out near the wrist. Then began a life & death struggle as Clark closed on him. James Clark was a trained wrestler & his skill stood him in good stead. The bushranger was thrown & in falling, his head struck the hard road. This in all probability, dazed him for a moment. Conroy rushed forward & secured the revolver, throwing it away. James Clark then quickly overpowered him & called on his brother to bring the saddle straps. Between the 3 of them they bound him securely & left him lying on the side of the road in the water table. From the time the 2nd shot was fired, Peter sank quietly to the ground & died without speaking a word & without a struggle. He died like a very tired man sinking into heavy sleep. Ashton ran to him & placed his head on his knee. He called out "Oh Jimmy he's dying! he's dying!" But his brother at that moment was at death grips with the murderer. In perhaps a minute from the time the shots were fired, the murderer was lying on the road securely bound with his victim lying in his blood a few paces away, quite dead. It was only now that the actors in the grim tragedy began to realise the full horror of the situation. It was a beautiful autumn day between 9 & 10 o'clock in the morning. What bitter irony, the bright sunshine, the soft air of the morning, & the unbroken calm of the hills seemed to those horror stricken men. Even though the murderer was bound, their friend was dead, and to them the whole world was desolate. How the passing of one soul can often change the course of many lives. Both men took grave risks in attempting to capture a man so desperate, whom they saw only a few minutes before attempt to shoot down an unarmed boy. Both were equally brave & in the strength of their manhood , and now one was taken & the other left. With the report of the revolver, the strong arm had fallen, the strength of manhood departed, and between then now rolled the great ocean of eternity. Soon they were brought back to the grim reality of the situation by the foul curses of the wounded wretch lying on the side of the road. James Clark, calm & collected, picked up the revolver & turned to the murderer "Now" he said sternly "You have shot one man & tried to shoot 2 others. There is still one shot left & that is for you if I hear another word out of you" . The threat had the desired effect. reverently they laid their dead friend on their blankets , covered his face, and left him lying almost where he fell. Soon the bushranger began to lament his fate & begged his captors to loosen the straps that secured him. "No" said James firmly, "I am going to take no risks with you. When the police come they can please themselves what they do with you". " I didn't think this was going to happen when I rode out this morning" said WILSON. "If you didn't think it was going to happen why did you bring this thing along with you?" said James quietly holding out the revolver. There was no answer. After safely jumping the gully, & feeling pursuit was at an end, Partridge turned onto the main road a short distance on & fell in with some men with a horse & dray repairing the road. He told them what had happened & they in turn informed him that a trooper had ridden past them only a short while before towards Murrurundi. Partridge galloped on & overtook the trooper about a couple of miles further on. Quickly he told his tale. "Boy" said the trooper as he looked to his revolver. "Ride for your life to the police station at Murrurundi & I will go back". He was a brave resolute man, worthy of the highest traditions of the force he honoured. Without a moments hesitation he galloped back to the scene of the encounter. Dismounting & putting back the revolver in the holster, he grimly surveyed the scene. "Well done boys" he said. Those simple words of recognition conveyed all that was necessary from a brave man to brave men & spoke volumes. Unbuckling the handcuffs from his belt, he remarked to the murderer as the steel snapped on his wrists, " A bloody morning's work you have made of it." He then commissioned one of the men who had been working on the road to bring the horse & dray. Meanwhile Partridge galloped to the Murrurundi police station, only a few miles away & delivered his message. 3 troopers with their horses saddled were just ready to ride off on patrol Instantly they were on the road with partridge & in less than an hour were also on the scene. One can better imagine than describe the feelings of Samuel Partridge as he rode up to his mates. Ages seem to have rolled by since he left them not more than 2 hours before. There was all that was mortal of the man who had been as loving, gentle & considerate as a father to him , lying in the stillness of death. henceforth his name was to be only a softened & tender memory. Truly the boy could say "Every remembrance of thee I cherish". With a breaking heart he turned away. Almost 80 years have passed over his head & still the memories of that dead friend is soft & tender. Gently the police laid the corpse in the dray & seated the murderer beside it & set off for Murrurundi. Almost all the way, the bushranger lamented his fate & the pain of his wound. Small pity was bestowed on him by the enraged public as the news spread. Deep & bitter was the sorrow for the death of CLARK & bitter was the hatred for the murderer, who was taken to the police station & confined in the cells. The corpse was taken to Whiteman's Hotel at Murrurundi & laid on a table. An Inquest was held the same day & a verdict of wilful murder returned against Wilson. As the Doctor was removing the clothes from the body of CLARK, the bullet that had inflicted the fatal wound was found among them. It had pierced the heart, passed clean through the body, & was spent. The weapon used was a big powerful muzzle loading 5 chambered trauter revolver, & was one of the best of it's day. Under any circumstances, it was a truly formidable weapon. It was so constructed that the hammer was raised by drawing back a spur that projected through the trigger guard by the 2nd finger of the hand that grasped it. By simultaneously drawing back the spur with the 2nd finger & pressing the trigger with the index finger, the weapon could be discharged with the speed of a modern double action revolver. Hence the speed with which the 2 shots were fired. In all probability, had the bushranger been armed with a single action revolver & have been forced to cock it with his thumb, Peter Clark could have closed with him before the 2nd shot was fired. After the inquest at Murrurundi, the corpse was removed to Eaton's Hotel at Muswellbrook to a wait burial. Mrs Eaton being some connection of Peter Clark's family. While there it was visited by a great number of Friends & sympathisers, some coming long distances to pay their respects to his memory".

*** The fate of Harry WILSON:- From Murrurundi he was brought to the gaol at East Maitland to await trial. A few months later he was brought to trial, a miserable, wretched broken looking man. He was found guilty of murder by a jury within ten minutes, condemned to death & was executed at the East Maitland goal on October 4th 1863.When searched he also had in his possession a gold watch which was taken from a man during the hold-up of a coach a few weeks before he was captured. It was believed that Harry Wilson was an alias and he looked to be much older than 25, however, no matter his name or his age he hanged for his crime.
Wilson's second claim to fame? According to author Greg Powell, secretary of Hunter Bushrangers, Australia's longest running re-enactment group, Wilson holds the dubious honour of being among the first to be hanged on the new private gallows inside old East Maitland Gaol.
****In recognition of their bravery in capturing the bushranger, James Clark & Conroy were each awarded 50 pounds by the NSW Government.

John Thomas Eather 1891-1920
John Thomas, the youngest child of John William EATHER 1845-191 and Harriet nee CLARK 1849-1928, was born on 3 October 1891.
At the age of 25 and still unmarried he enlisted in the Australian Army on 17 October 1916, approximately a year after his brother Ivo mack had enlisted. He was posted to the same Battalion as his brother, the 35th, and went overseas amongst reinforcements. He saw Ivo in England while he was convalescing after having been wounded at Villers-Bretonneux. Back in Australia in 1919 after having been discharged from the Army, he returned to life on the land.
On Sunday the 13th June 1920 John was in the paddock at Bulga threshing lucerne seed, when the drive belt on the machine snapped.
John put his arm in the air to ward off the whip of the belt and fell into the thresher. His cries brought nearby workers to a most horrific scene, but nothing could be done to save John.
