There is a lot of misinformation online relating to lamborghini hoverboard security, and also a great deal of conjecture has been distributing around the social hierarchy pertaining to these items, so we simply want to remove a few points up based on our own experience with these boards as well as what we locate to be real regarding their manufacturing quality and overall security. There are 2 main reasons that hoverboards are igniting as well as blowing up, as complies with:
Problem # 1 – Inexpensive Batteries
All of the boards appearing of China are practically the very same design, the only difference are the batteries. As well as there are 2 different sorts of batteries: the great batteries and also the bad batteries. The great batteries are inspected, authorized, as well as certified for usage with mechanized scooters and also will certainly have a stamp on them with either an examination number such as iso9001.
Notification that is likewise has the brand "Samsung" composed directly on the battery. Now we could most likely judge from these industry understood trademarks that this battery is risk-free, and also ranked for usage with mechanized scooters.
And also the 2nd sort of battery that is coming directly out of China that is safe to use in mechanized mobility scooters will have CE as well as ROHS qualification stamps on it, as this is the overseas group equivalent of the UL authorization in the USA. Some people assume this kind of battery is bad because it does not have UL approval, not knowing that there is a completely different approval system for batteries that are manufactured overseas.
So those 2 examples we just reviewed above are secure, as these batteries have been checked, inspected, and rated for usage with electrical mechanized mobility scooters. That does not imply, nonetheless, that you could over-charge them, and abuse them and they will continuously run successfully. Even if you have a board with one of these batteries you still shouldn't leave it on the battery charger for more than 2 hours, and you shouldn't exhaust the battery, such as continuing to ride it when the board is warning as well as the battery has been sufficiently drained pipes. Comply with these essential ideas and also you will be a happy hoverboarder! Cannot hearken these guidelines and you could end up among the unfortunate few that has a hoverboard issue.
But also beware because the stamps as well as qualifications can be faked, so make certain you are taking care of a respectable supplier, dealer, or supplier that is up front concerning just what they are marketing, as well as not some individual off of Craigslist, eBay, or Amazon.com, trying to market some low-cost board for $200 is virtually 100% mosting likely to be a rip-off. Be clever people, if it sets you back under $300 it's most definitely a piece of waste. The top quality, checked batteries themselves set you back $100 each, so simply assume if the board you are purchasing is only $200 then the parts that have entered into making it are most definitely not quality, evaluated, as well as ranked for mechanized usage, because if they were after that the board would set you back even more. You obtain what you pay for, and we could state with 100% truthfully and also certainty that all hoverboards on our website are licensed, evaluated, accepted and rated for motorized electrical scooter use!
Trouble # 2 – Over-Charging
The number 1 safety threat to any hoverboard, or lithium ion battery at that, is over-charging. Running too much electric current through a gently constructed lithium ion power cell is bad news, and can cause problems. To make sure that is the number 1 principle, don't leave it billing over night as well as some could also be as stringent about not be out of website while it's plugged in and charging at home. Currently some suppliers have actually also presumed about provide safety billing situations together with these boards, in order to stop residence fires as a result of over-charging them inside. I claim, just do not over-charge them in all. 1 – 2 hours is lots of time. Charge it for a bit, ride it for a bit … how tough is that? Simple right? Do it! Apply it.
If you have invested at any time in any way researching hoverboard segway mobility scooters online, you will quickly recognize that there is a big trouble with these items: there are lots of affordable replicas being made overseas that typically aren't using the high quality, long-term Samsung batteries.
The difference in between a hoverboard segway mobility scooter with and also without Samsung batteries is all the time, and you ought to acquaint yourself with these truths to make sure that you could make an educated buying decision.
Samsung makes a special sort of Segway battery that is specifically designed to withstand extensive durations of extreme anxiety. The majority of the batteries that you will certainly locate in the hoverboards segways available for sale on eBay are NOT SAMSUNG, so buyer beware!
Without the right Samsung segway batteries, your hoverboards is practically useless, as well as it's only a matter of time prior to it breaks down. This is precisely the reason we offer a 1 month guarantee with our unit, because we have checked them ourselves and we understand that these Samsung batteries weigh responsibility and also constructed to last.
If you are so concerned with conserving a couple of dollars that you 'd rather head out and also buy some affordable reproduction off of eBay, proceed … however do not claim that we really did not alert you when it quits working after 2 weeks and you aren't able to obtain any type of replacement components for it. Go with the trusted hoverboards brand name: Zippy Board – the initial & authentic Hoverboards Segway Mobility scooter. Acquisition with self-confidence!

When I was invited to kick off last week's AITD National Conference by hosting a breakfast session about Personal Knowledge Management, the last thing I wanted to do was deliver a traditional presentation.
Given the massive scope of PKM, I needed to narrow my focus. And given the contemporary thrust of this event, I needed to do something fresh.
After agonising over the problem for almost a full minute, it dawned on me that the immediate relevance of PKM to the conference attendees lay in how they were going to make the most out of said conference.
But who was I to teach my peers in the industry how to suck eggs? So I ditched the typical instructivist approach in favour of the andragogic. In other words, I crowdsourced the content.
From this fruitful exercise I'm pleased to share with you 8 co‑created tips for making the most out of a conference.

I started out to do another video.
Didn't get far.
I started out to do another video.
Didn't get far.
The box has been marked and we've sent our survey forms back.
I can't begin to tell you how bad this makes me feel.
Maybe one day soon I'll do that.
The plebiscite was never a good idea. However, here we are with this rather pathetic attempt at giving every Australian a say on my relationship with Michael.
We've gone from a compulsory plebiscite to a voluntary postal survey. It's just crazy.
Here are my latest two videos on the topic.
There's so much to think about because the government have moved to a postal vote for marriage equality in Australia. In this 10 minutes I share why I'm having trouble coming to terms with why people should vote on my right to get married.
Please share!
It's 11p.m. on a Saturday night, and as I've done so many times over the years, I'm sitting in front of a computer thinking about going to sleep.
For many years I sat here because I had two young children and I was unable to leave the house. Tonight is different. My two now grown up children have left home. Tomas leaving just this last Wednesday. Tonight we party. As I sit here in my own space, a room just for me and my computer, I have the sound of a party happening behind me. There is the hum of voices and I can hear Caitlin and Tomas talking eagerly with their friends. Every now and then there's a crescendo as the stories are told and the voices get excited before everyone breaks off into laughter. It is truly a wonderful sound of happiness, friendship and unsaid love between friends. Tonight's a special night. For tomorrow the house will be empty. I will no longer need to live in a 3 bedroom house with room for Caitlin and Tomas. So, Michael and I will live in a smaller house.
My mind goes back to when my parents left the family home. The home where we all grew up, all 11 of us. So many memories of this great house in McIntyre Street. My parents sold up and moved to Queensland. I was the last to leave home and remember the intense feeling of sadness as that phase of my life passed.
And here I am again, at the threshold of the start of a new phase. A free man, without the worry of who is home for dinner and what I need to do. Of whether or not I need to be aware of who needs to be out the front door in the morning. Of whether or not there is enough cheese, bread or milk in the fridge.
Tonight Caitlin and Tomas have their friends here. There are people here who have been friends since the early 2000's. They have visited us so many times. They have been to so many parties here in this house. This place is as much a part of their lives as it has been ours.
They've gathered in a circle, about 20 young people. Their eyes twinkle, their faces are alive with happiness. They seem to all be talking at the same time. All around is delight and joy.
The TV is showing photos of our lives in the house and the guests laugh as their younger selves make an appearance.
There's birthday parties, celebrations and photos of everyday life. Our home is chocker block full of memories.
Every birthday was had right here, at home. Friends would come and we'd celebrate. We would decorate the house for a mermaid theme, or a scary party. We've had a space theme, Star Wars and a Knights theme.
The parties end with all of us standing outside with sparklers and delighting in the sparks flying off in all directions.
We've been happy here, we've laughed and cried together. We've yelled and been angry. We've broken things and fixed them. We've measured our height on the door post and posted our artwork to the walls.
Mostly what we have is great memories. This has been our home.
Like the sparklers dimming and fading, now is the time for us to fade too.
We're going to light up the world in different ways, and every now and then, we'll come together to shine.
That's what our family does.
Recently I was on the tele talking about Margaret Court's foray into the marriage equality debate. Court is a tennis legend, won all sorts of games in the 60's and 70's. She was good at watching a small green ball and hitting it with a stick with strings. That's my understanding of tennis.
And here's Michael earlier in the day talking with Neil Mitchell on 3AW
Court has decided to say some very outdated things about GLBTIQ people over the last week. There have been calls for the renaming of a court at the Melbourne Tennis Centre named in her honour, The Margaret Court Arena.
The debate has been raging between those who claim that Court is being bullied, those against renaming the court and those who think we should. Everyone has an opinion.
At the heart of all of this is a single concept. Free Speech.
Just what is it you're allowed to say in public? Of course, you can say anything you like. Court has spoken in public, she has used her legend status to be heard. Now she is claiming that her free speech is being denied, despite having full access to the media and being able to further her ideas and still be heard.
What we're really seeing here is important. It's about what's acceptable topics in modern Australian society. We are deciding what our community standards. Australians are struggling with that very notion.
The same as we've struggled with holocaust deniers, racist statements and misogyny. We are witnessing an adjustment in attitude.
It's simply no longer appropriate to use a public forum to express views that vilify the GLBTIQ community. It's not OK to call us products of the devil, say we can't raise children, or even that marriage is only between a man and a woman.
The days of saying those things in public are passing. You can see it happening before your eyes.
Before those that will be upset by this notion cry about free speech. The free speech has been flying for years, and society is saying enough is enough. Modify your language if you want to have discussions in public. You're not being told that you can't hold your views, you're not being told to change your views. You are perfectly entitled to believe whatever you like.
As a society the expectations of community engagement are undergoing an adjustment. Just like there are the deniers, the racist and the misogynist still out there, they have mostly being told to shut up.
Bigotry around gender diversity and sexual orientation is next.
Our society will be better when that bigotry is added to the list of unacceptable talking points.
Time to adjust the attitudes.
Recently the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) has been attempting to cast themselves as being bullied into silence by the gay activists. The suggestion being that somehow people like me, people like Michael and a whole gaggle of others, in using our voice, our free speech, somehow impinges on their rights. They manage still to get their word out. The ACL continues to spread misinformation about the reality of our lives, our families and our rights.
I think the reality is that they are the modern-day face of the bully.
Today, Michael and I, and a stack of other allies, supporters and our GLBTIQ community have been at another Equal Love Rally in Melbourne, where we stand around and people tell us that the government needs to let us get married. We all yell and cheer, boo at times. So many of these I've been to.
Michael has lovely eyes.
He posted this to Facebook with this message:
Take a moment to think how lucky we are to be able to attend a Pride Rally and walk around with rainbow paint on our faces in Australia without fear of persecution or being sent to a concentration camp.
And he's right. Even as we protest the government's inaction on equality for all Australians, we live in a civil society that lets everyone get on with their life.
Today, as I stood there, a man was handing out bibles. There was also a group of muslims talking about their faith, and the Socialist Alliance were there too, milling about hoping to get a few signatures on their petitions. Such a mixed bag of people with very different views.
Among the crowds mingle the Police. Present to keep the peace and, more importantly to show their support.
And check out this Police badge on the back of a Police Officers hi-vis vest. It's in the rainbow colours.
She even had a smaller one on the front. It's a comforting picture.
It's not too long ago when the GLBTIQ community could be subjected to murder, bashings and being locked up by the police.
I posted this image of the rainbow badge to Facebook and someone commented about how she'd been bashed in the last couple of years by the police.
That's really horrible.
For some of us, being non-straight is still horrific, life threatening. The person has little respect for the police and, it would appear, no trust.
During the week the hate-group the ACL published a blog with the headline:
Now The Queensland Police Uniform Is Being Used To Promote Rainbow Politics
Here's a copy of the page, and here's the link. (The ACL often delete their blog posts)
Wendy Francis, leader of the Queensland branch of the hate-group, says this:
"Of course no one wants to see any member of the community bullied or discriminated against for any reason," ACL Queensland Director Wendy Francis said.
"And of course 'phobia' towards other people is irrational.
"But the rainbow political flag, adapted to police uniform lanyards represents a political agenda for marriage and re-shaping society's understanding of gender.
"Exerting soft pressure on police to identify with the rainbow political agenda for redefining marriage and teaching children their gender is fluid through so-called 'Safe Schools' is not appropriate," Ms Francis said.
The point of course has flown over her head like a cowshit hitting the grass in the paddock, splattered and leaving a smelly mess.
Police have long been known as being quite intolerant of the GLBTIQ community. Even today we have stories of cover ups and bashings.
The rainbow vest badge seen today and the Queensland lanyards aren't political statements. They are however statements. They say "Hey, you can trust me, I'm one of you, I won't hurt you".
It takes a modern-day bully to pretend that every time they see a rainbow that somehow it's about gay marriage or a political statement.
Francis can talk about soft pressure, her pressure is more like she's run her fingers through the cowshit and smeared it all over her face.
This is my dog. Was my dog. He's gone now. Went a long time ago.
He was a Koolie, an Australian working dog. He was also a little thick. Still a wonderful dog that was devoted and happy as dogs tend to be.
We called him Waddley Archa. Waddley for short. It's a name I picked up from a song that I learned in the USA in 1984. I was working at an American summer camp with the Scouts for 6 weeks. Every week we'd have a campfire as the grand finale of the week with that group of boys. We'd sing lots of songs, I'd lead them in Waltzing Matilda. It was a fun time.
I learned several new songs, as you do when you travel around. I brought them back to Australia and taught my own Cub Scouts these new songs, Waddle-ee-ah-cha was one of them. It was really just a nonsense song, no purpose to it, and it had a nice little tune, good to sing around a camp fire. It may have had some actions, and I've been sitting here singing it and going through the actions, they don't seem right, and I look a right dill waving my arms around poking my nose and kicking my feet up.
Here's the lyrics as recorded in the song book from the summer camp:
Waddle-ee-ah-cha, waddle-ee-ah-cha
Doodle-ee-do, doodle-ee-do,
Waddle-ee-ah-cha, waddle-ee-ah-cha
Doodle-ee-do, doodle-ee-do,
Some folks say there ain't nothing to it,
All you gotta do is doodle-ee-do it.
I like the rest but the part I like the best
Is doodle-ee-do doodle-ee-do, Oy!
So, nice story. But wait, there's more!
I was playing around on the net and found myself at archive.org, The Internet Archive. It's a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more. I saw that they had a bunch of music recorded from old 78rpm records. I've got a few old 78's in the cupboard, and an old gramophone to play them on. So I began searching through the treasure of old music to see if there were any recordings that I knew. And there was.
In amongst them was one called Doodle-Le-Do by Harry Raby and the 3-D Valley Boys. It's not dated. I almost went right on past it, then the words began to sing in my mind and I thought, no, it couldn't be. I hit play and there it was! The song actually has music to it!
So, here's to Waddley and Darcy, our two dogs. Hit play and feel free to sing along.
News Ltd continues its unwarranted attack on Michael, ignoring the substance of his activism. Piers Akerman is the latest bully to make shit up.
IT'S a sad truth that those who so recently claimed to be the bullied are now among the world's greatest bullies.
Great way to start an article, an assertion, without any substance. Essentially saying that we, the GLBTIQ activists, that are being bullied by the media, are in fact the bullies. And we're really good at it, we're up there with the greatest of the world's bullies.
None more so than the alphabetical jumble of the gender confused in their pursuit of the destruction of the ancient and revered traditional form of marriage.
Straight into it then, lets insult the GLBTIQ community, call it a jumble and tell us were confused and want to end the world! This notion that we want to destroy marriage is plainly and clearly stupid. Marriage will continue once marriage equality is here. How then will it be destroyed? Simply, it won't. People will get married, some will have children, some will stay together, some will divorce, some will be happy, some won't. There will just be more of us doing it.
To his great credit, Glenn Davies, the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney, called out the thugs running the so-called marriage equality and diversity campaigns and exposed them and their brutish standover tactics in an unequivocal article in The Australian on Friday.
Thugs? Brutish stand-over tactics? Davies is kicking up that some folk dare to challenge the status quo and question the authority of the church to set the tone of the debate. Apparently we should all just shut the fuck up and let archbishops tell us what to do. Davies uses this antiquated church office of privilege to tell the rest of us what to think and say. It's been a long time since the church had any moral authority.
"Not only has this minority view tried to swamp the public debate with its introspective, authoritarian denial of free speech, it has struck at the heart of Australian democracy and the freedoms that we all cherish," he wrote.
I really want to laugh. However, I think he is serious. For centuries the church has been claiming that we are deviants. We had no way to combat this absurd claim. We have been killed, locked up, vilified and abused. We are finding a voice, using it to point out that our treatment is not fair. For this he claims that we are swamping the debate! We are denying free speech. We are undermining democracy and freedoms. Like we somehow have superpowers to overturn our political system.
Anglican Archbishop Glenn Davies spoke out against the "same-sex marriage campaign".
The use of quotes around same-sex marriage campaign here tries to minimise the reality of the campaign. It isn't something that is marginal or unbelievable. It's real and happening, right now.
"This narrow-minded, freedom-restricting carping is what the same-sex marriage campaign has come to.
"At the beginning, the promise seemed to be innocent enough — change one word in the marriage legislation and there would be equality for all.
"Now, as people start to digest the magnitude of such a social change and the ramifications that would follow for families and the rest of the community when marriage is cut adrift from the significance of gender distinctiveness (the Safe Schools Coalition program is only one of these side effects), other voices are starting to speak up."
Sigh. So much to do, so little time. We start by getting married, then we will begin on the social ramifications, we'll make sure that your children will understand that they don't need to be restricted to the narrow-minded version of the world that archbishops see, but that the world is truly diverse and you can be who you want to be and the world won't end.
The archbishop cited numerous examples of the manner in which the homosexual marriage lobby had threatened its opponents and attempted to block debate on this issue with putrid campaigns designed to target Christians, in particular, but discourage all those who refused to fall into line.
Who on the homosexual marriage lobby has threatened anyone? We're not blocking debate, we are leading it. Nobody is being shut down. That is such a laughable statement. Here are the archbishop, Akerman, the ACL and the whole of News Ltd speaking out. Just how are you being blocked? You wanted a debate? You got it. No longer does this debate have to be on the terms you want. I for one am sick of playing by your rules where you get to tell me how to do it.
He mentioned the forced cancellation of a meeting of church leaders last year in Sydney after staff at the planned venue were subjected to an extremely ugly campaign of harassment and threats.
Please refer to the centuries of harassment and threats perpetrated on the GLBTIQ community that still goes on today. The church leaders meet in a public place to discuss strategy on how to block our efforts for equality and we should just stand back and let it happen. Use Skype.
He pointed to the case brought against the Catholic Archbishop of Hobart Julian Porteous before the Tasmanian Anti-Discrimination Tribunal when that archbishop merely supported the current laws on marriage, which also happen to be the view of his church — all churches — and that held by civilised nations for millennia.
The key word here is merely. It was so much more than that. It's a clear example of the church flexing its control and trying to shut down debate.
Archbishop Davies also drew attention to the manner in which some so-called leaders in the corporate world had folded before social media attacks of online pests like serial protester Michael Barnett, whose vile Twitter feed opposing views contrary to his own gives the lie to his claim to be a supporter of "diversity".
They're not so-called leaders, they are the top management, CEOs and managers. You know, leaders. They don't fold because someone sent a tweet. Seriously, you don't get to be at the top by folding every time someone sends a tweet.
Our ABC showed its own weakness in this debate by posting an apology to Barnett on Thursday which said its program The Drum had "incorrectly" drawn a connection between the marriage equality debate and Barnett's references to corporate commitments to "Pride and Diversity", an employer program that campaigns for inclusion for the alphabet soup of gender identity.
Or… they realised they made a mistake. Go figure.
There is not the clichéd cigarette paper's separation from the issues, they are indivisible, just two sides of the same coin, but the ABC hand-wringers, signed up members to the homosexual marriage and diversity push, rushed to collapse and apologise rather than simply telling Barnett it had fully embraced his agenda, even if it may not have agreed with his more abhorrent tweets.
They are very different issues, however, because both issues, diversity and marriage equality, are about the alphabet soup of gender identity I can see why you're confused. It's all to do with the gayz, so therefore all the same issue. We are just a single body of people who are all in the same soup bowl.
The Barnetts of the world have adopted the bullying tactics used by the climate change lobbyists, formerly known as the global warmists.
What? As far as a rift to change keys go, this is more like the band leaving the stage and being replaced by some kids with xylophones. I'll have to cut a few paragraphs where he attacks climate change, racial discrimination and the colour of black.
Confronting ideas with ideas was once the goal of great universities and the foundation of the great civilising ideas that enabled the growth of the West.
Yeah, so here we are confronting your ideas of how the world should work. Just like it's been happening. The world is round, it spins around the sun, around the huge galactic central point. It doesn't spin around you and your keyboard. We're busy pointing out that ideas are bigger than just doing things the way we've always done them. People are more diverse than you would like to acknowledge and they too have a place in our society to be recognised as fully-fledged citizens.
You know, we're enabling the growth of the West. Whatever the fuck that is in a globalised world.
Be sure to check out Part 1 and Part 2.
I wasn't going to write a Part 3 – I thought I'd covered it all. However, this has taken on a life all of its own and is a good example of how the media has its own agenda and will use their strength to steamroll anyone who doesn't meet their criteria.
Today The Australian, and I won't link to them any more, ran another article on Michael and his activism. They go digging into the past, give little snippets and avoid the whole story. This tactic enables them to paint a less-than-rosy picture of Michael's activism.
The headline screams, well, that's a bit much, it doesn't scream at all, it is a headline. There in big letters it says:
Twitter troll who bullies brewers has little love for LGBTI peers
Now Michael has a bunch of new labels. His name badge is getting quite large. He is now a Twitter Troll and a Bully and a Little Love. I consider him to be my big love. That's all he needs on a badge. I shall get one made up. He isn't a Twitter Troll. You want to see trolls, go look on the Internet, there's plenty of real trolls. Michael has raised concerns with people in positions of authority over conflicts of interest. Hardly trolling.
It's true of Michael that for some of his peers he has little love. I have little love for some of my peers too – I guess you probably do too. You know, just because we're all part of humanity doesn't mean that we have to love everyone. Just because we're all part of this rather odd bunch of GLBTI people doesn't mean we all get along.
I want to go through this article sentence by sentence, but I won't. Let me be selective, fill in some gaps and leave out a bunch of stuff. After all, that seems to be the way the media operates. They have all this essentially unlimited space online and still leave stuff out. Go figure.
Having pressured Coopers, IBM and PwC and their senior staff to sever links with Christian associations, gay rights activist Michael Barnett has turned his sights on academia, demanding Macquarie University force one of its lecturers to renounce a Christian educational organisation.
He didn't pressure Coopers any more than the hundreds of other people did. Likewise there has been no pressure on IBM, PwC or Macquarie University. It's about as much pressure as you'd apply to a leaky balloon with a bit of sticky tape, not the weight of an elephant stepping on your head. As for 'force' and 'demanding' and 'renounce' I mean, really?
Barnett doesn't want to talk about how Aleph members tried to sack him? Star Observer, April 15, 2010:
A growing rift in Melbourne's Jewish gay community saw a war of words via email last week, with members of gay Jewish support group Aleph accusing current convener Michael Barnett for being too hostile.
Sack him? I was at the meeting, no mention of sacking at all. People were very cross and expressed themselves. Of course, what is missing here is the background as to how it came about. It's easy to create a picture of division when you only part tell the story.
Melbourne's LGBTI Jews were not happy with Barnett's bullyboy act. Star Observer, continued:
… other members of the 80-strong group had been "embarrassed" by Barnett's constant "angry" emails and the group is now discussing ways to establish a new executive committee which may or may not include Barnett.
Yeah, that's right. The 80-strong group, they talked a lot. Offered little support before they were embarrassed, made a lot of noise and disappeared up their own clackers never to be seen again. In the long run, Michael's 'angry' emails paid huge dividends in the community.
Barnett hasn't changed his spots. Aleph's official Twitter account, November 25 last year:
We have cancelled our registration in the 2017 Pride March due to @midsumma accepting @newscorpaus sponsorship. First absence since 1997.
What do you mean spots? Clearly you don't know him very well. Michael has remained steadfast in his commitment to diversity, celebration and acceptance of people over all the years I've known him. We, he and I, continue to learn and modify our approach to how we engage. Boycotting Pride March and Midsumma this year was because of The Australian and other News Limited media sponsorship arrangement with Midsumma. It was a reaction to the ongoing vilification that these media outlets engage in on a regular basis. I still can't believe that Midsumma didn't give up this sponsorship. Again, Michael's actions are vindicated by this continuing unwarranted attack on him.
The smear campaign is supported by the Letters to the Editor in The Australian. They show just how the influence of the media can skew the intent and influence the reader. Here's a smattering.
Activists are engaging in systematic persecution
A provocative headline to the letters, and simply untrue.
I thought we lived in a democratic society where freedom of speech, religion and association were protected ("Gay rights activist turns on Christian academic", 29/3), so I find the actions of these LGBTI campaigners disturbing. They are doing to others what they have suffered in history.
Somehow we aren't entitled to enjoy freedom of speech? So, others have suffered in history. I'm here to tell you, Vita Mezzatesta from Pascoe Vale, Vic, we are suffering right now, and we are kicking back. Using our free speech and pointing out what's wrong with the world.
These activist groups can't touch me directly, and so I write to express my displeasure with all the self-centred, self-serving, intolerant minorities that now attempt to control our lives. There was a time that you could just say bugger off and that was the end of it, but now they have this need to force feed their views on everyone.
You make me laugh Richard Thomson from Kent Town, SA. Michael is not self-centred or self-serving. Control your life? You'd like to tell us to bugger off? Get back in the closet perhaps? Force their views on everyone? Come on. Perhaps you simply don't like having your attitudes and beliefs so directly challenged. Perhaps those beliefs are outdated and wrong.
Then we hear from Alex Greenwich from the lobby group, Australian Marriage Equality. Alex is a key player in the group and a NSW MP. This is what I'd call the lead group from our community that is leading the charge to achieve equality for us in marriage rights. They are self-appointed. It's unclear as to how they are funded or how they decide what to do.
Here's Alex's letter.
Our campaign for marriage equality has always been and always will be based on positive, respectful and inclusive conversations to win over the hearts and minds of Australians. The national conversation about marriage equality will only be won if people can have conversations and are allowed to ask any genuine questions they may have.
For many people, same-sex couples having access to civil marriage is a straightforward reform that takes from no one but provides a profound positive change to the lives of lesbian and gay Australians, their parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents and friends.
However, there are still people who have genuine questions and it's important that we continue to listen and engage respectfully. It is because of our respect for the institution of marriage that we will keep engaging until we can join millions of Australians in marrying the person we love in the country we love.
As we continue along the journey to achieving marriage equality, we must do it through uniting, not dividing, and being respectful of everyone's views along the way.
Alex Greenwich, Australian Marriage Equality, Darlinghurst, NSW
Alex has really let the side down on this one. He has an ideal opportunity to reset the debate, but instead goes on the sneaky attack. Essentially Michael's activism around Pride in Diversity is thrown under the bus by AME. Michael has supportively pushed, promoted, encouraged and engaged with AME for many, many years. Not one of them so much as picked up the phone for a chat with him. Not a Facebook message, an SMS or even an email. It's not like they don't know who he is. Alex says that we must achieve marriage equality through uniting, not dividing and being respectful.
Michael's current concern has zero to do with marriage equality. Alex could have discovered that quite easily. He could have distanced himself by saying that Michael isn't talking about marriage equality, he's talking about Pride in Diversity and members of the ACL employed by organisations that pride themselves on the diversity.
Let me put this as clearly as I can. The ACL is not the church, they don't represent a denomination. They exist to promote their version of christianity, and in that version there are no gay people, no lesbians and no transgender people. They might tolerate the bisexuals if you only have married sex with the opposite sex, and intersex people if you have surgery to conform to either male or female. The Lachlan Macquarie Institute is wholly owned by the ACL.
These two organisation are intolerant of anyone that isn't heterosexual. They pretend to be nice, but underneath the facade is a real desire to spread their version of Christianity far and wide. They are not our friends. They seek only to have it their way. They represent a very small part of our society, even smaller than the GLBTI community.
They are not our friends.
Alex had the chance here to give them a kick in the nuts, instead he plays the nice gay boy who doesn't want to upset the apple cart. The News Limited media support the ACL. They don't play nice and need to make Michael out to be the bad boy, hold him up as an example of what is wrong with the 'gay lobby'. Make their readership, that already hates us, justify that hatred. We play into their hands, and to the hands of the ACL when we, the activist, the 'gay' lobby groups and the ordinary GLBTI folk placate them, pretend we are being inclusive when in fact the media is driving the wedge between us and the rest of society.
That is a missed opportunity.

As summer winds down, it is a good time to review with your child how to act in social situations. Many of you have children starting pre-school or kindergarten. Children can have anxiety about new situations and may need a little extra guidance regarding behavior. These life transitions can be full of learning potential.

It's a Mystery - Yes It Is!
It's a Mystery – Yes, It Is!
One of the questions I'm most often asked about mysteries is, "What is the difference between a mystery and a thriller/suspense novel?" Ask anyone and they will have a different opinion as to the answer. Here are some thoughts of people in the writing business:

We've been in our home for nearly 20 years and are pretty familiar with the wildlife in our yard. Mostly, the many birds which including a large number of robins and wrens, cardinals and blue jays and even hawks and woodpeckers. One song we heard repeatedly piqued our interest and we set out on a mission to identify the bird. Turns out, there are some nifty books at the library with recordings of the bird songs or calls.

We're Hiring We aren't 100% sure what we need. Maybe, it is you.
Seems weird to admit that, right? Well. We're kind of weird and we're pretty quick to admit the things we don't know (if you aren't like that, stop reading now — please and thanks).
We have a basic idea of who we're looking for, but we also know that the best candidates always go way beyond their job description and make you think, "HOLY CRAP! A PERSON LIKE THIS EXISTS?"
That's who we're looking for.
That said, there are some key points about you that are important to us. They are as follows:
Driven – You're ready to learn and you're going to take full advantage of the opportunity to grow in this industry and carve a role for yourself at Kick Point.
Detail-oriented – The big things can't happen without all the small things being stacked up in perfect little towers together. The small things should always be on your mind, because we want to be able to trust you to help us build big things.
Hard Working – You are ready to work hard so you have rad things to write about in your autobiography. Hard work makes sense to you because you thrive on results and already have a carpal tunnel brace.
Excellent Writer – You don't have to be shortlisted for the Giller Prize, but you should probably have strong opinions and be able to articulate them in a semi-intelligent manner.
Whether you're a designer, developer, copywriter, welder, receptionist, pirate, sales manager, teacher, artist, dancer, front-ender, back-ender, side-ender, or whatever – it doesn't matter, this might be the perfect job for you. We're looking for someone to assist us with client work, office things, and drinking scotch. Sound good? Great.
If this ambiguity excites you, then please send us your resume in PDF format to [email protected]. In the body of your email please tell us a story about a late night, a long walk, or a lost year. Additionally, we'd love it if you could direct us to the piece of writing you are most proud of.
Successful applicants will be contacted the week of January 13, 2014.
Apart from being a guy with a baker's dozen of scotches on hand, this is tempting on many more-productive levels. Kick Point team, you rule!
Stop by for a scotch sometime!

HALIFAX caretaker coach Damian Ball has admitted he is virtually resigned to having to leave the club at the end of the season.
Ball, the former assistant to departed boss Matt Calland, took temporary charge after the exit of the ex-Bradford threequarter and guided the club to back-to-back wins over York and Toulouse before Sunday's knife edge 18-16 loss at Batley.
Shay officials, who have not advertised the job as yet, have remained tightlipped over Calland's potential replacement, only confirming that no appointment is likely until the season is over.
Batley's Karl Harrison, the former Fax forward and Hall of Fame member, remains the white-hot favourite, although Courier Sport understands that several other relatively high-profile candidates have contacted the club.
But in the first outward sign that progress is being made behind the scenes, Ball said he believed it is unlikely he will have a job in the new regime.
"I expect not to be here, which is how it happens in rugby league," said Ball, whose next assignment is preparing his side for Thursday night's televised home game against Super League-bound play off rivals Widnes.
"I've had a brief conversation with a director about it, and I just said I was realistic enough to know that's how things go.
"I know the game: Someone else comes in and brings their own men with them.
"Time will tell, and I don't want to comment too much on it because things can change, but I have certainly enjoyed the last three weeks.
"It's been good experience, and although I aged about six years in 80 minutes at Batley on Sunday, it's opened my eyes to perhaps being a head coach one day.
"The circumstances in which this came about weren't great, because I'm good friends with Matt, but from a professional viewpoint it's been good and if I can get a little experience on my CV then that might help me take the next step.
"Hopefully an opportunity will present itself at some stage for me."

Due to the program's success, Xplor recently announced it has rescheduled its Global Electronic Document Systems conference from November 6–10, 2005, in Orlando, FL, to co-locate with GOA 2006 in Miami Beach.
Also making a major impact at GOA was the new JDF pavilion. The pavilion, a combination of presentation theater and exhibits, featured three days of multi-vendor presentations and hands-on demonstrations designed to provide attendees with a clear understanding of the emerging standard.

February 13, 2015
On Friday February 13th, 2015 Steffanie Pearce did it again!!! She introduced Ireland's Finest Tenor Anthony Kearns to a packed Moorings Presbyterian Church here in Naples, Florida. The concert had been sold out for many days.
Not so long ago, Naples was just a little town on the edge of the swamp. Steffanie Pearce brought Opera to Naples and made a huge success of Opera Naples. Often her Operas were held outdoors. Now she has founded Gulfshore Opera which serves a larger area covering Collier, Lee and Charlotte counties.
"Inclusive and Accessible" is the motto of this new Opera Company. The Anthony Kearns concert featuring great love songs was a huge production. He was joined by Nathalie Avila, Soprano, Jon Laird, Piano, Laura Friesen, Piano and Wendy Willis, Flute. Members of the Gulfshore Opera Chorus and The Gulfshore Opera Harmony Choir performed too. It was great to see Eileen Fuller in the choir. She and I had nice memories of how we arranged for Anthony Kearns to perform the leading roles in three operas in Naples, Florida.
Steffanie Pearce was out of town and could not attend the concert I had arranged at the Naples Big Cypress Market Place. Eileen Fuller was there and like the great ambassador that she is, she brought the news to Steffanie that what I had been saying for a number of years was true, this tenor was one of the greatest voices of our time. The owners of the Market Place, the Basik family and I, felt it would be a great idea to have the children of Opera Naples perform with Anthony. On the day in question we had been invited to lunch at Ave Maria by the then boss, Mr. Nicholas Healy. He was delayed but so also was Anthony, Paddy and Vincent who were delayed because of major crash on the road.
We were treated to a golf cart tour of the entire university and even met the sculptor who was working on the giant Annunciation figure that now graces the front of the amazing church out there. Time flies when one is having a great time. The boys got to the Naples Big Cypress Market Place with just one hour to rehearse with the Children of Opera Naples.
The concert was spectacular despite the unusual setting in a shopping center. Anthony dedicated the Ave Maria to "the girl who was at his side, no matter where in the world he performed, to help him with his publicity, Maire Peters who made the night possible". My friend Shirley Fox was almost in tears and stated this was the very best Ave Maria she ever heard. The concert impressed the representatives of Opera Naples and Eileen Fuller so much that I got a call the next day asking me for the telephone number for Vincent Mitchell, Anthony's long time manager who started his CMI Entertainment business managing another Tipperary person, the late and great tenor Frank Patterson.
The result of that call by Eileen Fuller on behalf of Steffanie Pearce was that Anthony Kearns performed leading roles, three years in a row, making his first opera performance in the United States.
Performing for this new Opera Company was yet another historic event, so I could not miss it and thanks to my wonderful boss and supervisors, I was able to switch my night off and attend the concert.
As I waited for the concert to begin, I wished that the best person to write a review was present to report on the night as only Berta Cachelman can do for this web site. I hoped that Harriett Heithaus, the Naples Daily News amazing musical expert was present too to enjoy this event and report on the night. I am not qualified to do a good review as I have mentioned before on this site that perhaps a high C is some kind of Lemsip for the flu!!!.
I had not heard Anthony sing for a number of years and noted how his voice seemed even smoother than before. He sported a nice hair style but looked very tired even before the concert. Nathalie Avila was spectacular, amazing, elegant and beautiful. She had two costume changes, beautiful gowns!
Love was in the air during the break with many people hugging each other who did not know each other prior to this great concert. All were in agreement, Steffanie had arranged a great gift for all in this wonderful and amazing production.
The children of the Gulfshore Harmony Choir got to share the stage with one of the most famous tenors in the world. This concert further encouraged a diverse group of children, teens and parents to support one another through the pursuit of musical excellence. As an El Sistema inspired program, Gulfshore Opera focus on children and families with the fewest resources and greatest need. Their program is delivered at no cost to participants. Activities include choral singing, vocal instruction, musicianship skills building and percussion 'Bucket Band". A qualified Music Education choir teacher and percussion teacher plus two mentors fluent in Spanish and Creole will lead classes.
Anthony himself at one time had a similar vision where his charity via his website funded scholarships for deserving young people. On stage he asked the audience to support this new Opera Company financially.
There are many ways a person can help by recruiting to help find kids and families that would benefit from this program, to volunteer as a chaperone or mentor or be a sponsor. Five hundred dollars for one month of classes, one thousand plus to sponsor supplies and transportation.
Anybody who wishes to become involved should contact Lindsay Robertson, Committee Chair at 239 529 3925 or for more information firstname.lastname@example.com
The audience gave this young group of artists a standing ovation.
After the concert we were treated to a champagne and chocolate reception. I had the great pleasure to meet pianist John Laird and got to tell him how wonderful he was. Anthony was holding court inside the door so we got to have a short amusing conversation in the Irish Language between numerous requests from fans who needed his CD "With a Song in my Heart" signed. One does not get to hear an Irish accent very often here in Naples so a concert by an Irish artist is a total delight, much less the opportunity to speak the Irish Language. Anthony is a fluent Irish language speaker and sings in almost all the European languages. Thanks to his amazing publicist in Washington, Kirsten Fedewa he got to sing in Maori at a New Zealand Embassy event. This was the only time in his entire life that he had to have the words of a song in front of him. The love song is called Pokarekare Ana. For those who want to hear him sing this song, one can find it on Utube. All his fans are so thrilled that Kirsten Fedewa has arranged many very high profile events for him including singing for our President which brought the Speaker of the House to tears!
There were no tears but lots of smiles in Naples for this feast of great love songs from composers such as Tom Moore, Puccini, Julius Benedict, Leonard Bernstein, Charles Gounod, Percy French, Chopin, Edith Piaf, Johann Strauss to name just a few! Of course the concert had to finish with a perfect and haunting 'Danny Boy'. Of course he had to return to the stage again and sang 'Sing to Love" from Die Fledermaus by Strauss.
At a very high profile event is not the time to return to the sixteenth century Ireland when so many people wanted to meet our Irish Tenor. Anthony and I will have to leave it for some other day to try and figure out how the great Irish composer and harpist Turlough O Carolin managed to transport his harp all over Ireland, on his back or in some form of Wagon. Of course it was a man from Tipperary, a school teacher friend of mine called Paddy McEvoy who resurrected O'Carolan. He played his Concerto on his tin whistle in the folk clubs in Dublin. I wrote about him and the Chieftains later recorded O'Carolans Concerto. I would have liked to hear O'Carolan's ancient song from about 1700 called "Tabhair Dom do Laimh" which many felt might be a love song, but O'Carolan wrote it for some great lady that he had offended and asked her in the song to 'Give me your hand (in forgiveness)". She was a married lady, so highly unlikely that O'Carolan had an affair with her. O Carolan probably composed the earliest Irish love songs in Ireland that perhaps have been lost over the years?
There is a beautiful lament called Donall Og and the lament by his wife for the Cassidy Chieftain who was killed in battle called 'An Cassideach Ban" (White Cassidy). I do not know if there are words to that tune?
I would have liked to have heard "My Lagan Love" or any of the love songs recorded by the great Irish language singer Albert Fry, but the greatest song that Anthony Kearns sings in my opinion is Dein Ist Mein Ganzez Hertz (You are my heart's delight). His Irish accent makes this song the most incredible I have ever heard sung by any of the great tenors, it is my very favourite Anthony Kearns song. I guess we cannot be greedy and expect the man to sing for several more hours. The Naples audience reluctantly allowed all the great artists that night go home and we hope there will be another concert next year.
Thanks to journalist Maire Peters.

Interesting and inspirational coffee quotes clearly show the passion and addiction of the people towards this captivating beverage. Many of these quotes belong to some of the great men and women who have made amazing and long lasting contributions to this world. Here are some of their remarkable, revealing and appealing quotes about coffee:
Coffee Quotes:- 20th Century
Nancy Witcher Langhorne Astor (19 May 1879 2 May 1964), a well known American-born English politician and socialite, was very witty and saucy in her conversations. Nancy was the first woman member in the House of Commons and she had several interesting conversations with Winston Churchill, the former prime minister of Great Britain (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965).
She said to Winston Churchill, "If I were your wife, I would put poison in your coffee." His instant reply was "If I were your husband, I would drink". Churchill was an ardent lover of coffee and that is exactly why Nancy said that she would put poison in his coffee.
This conversation took place when they were both Members of Parliament. Positive proof, at least in those days, that politicians and indeed leaders of countries could be witty and think for themselves. How times change!
Coffee Quotes:- 18th Century
Johann Sebastian Bach, a hugely popular German composer (March 21, 1685 – July 28, 1750) was really fond of this wonderful beverage and his music is hugely popular for its artistic brilliance, technical expertise and intellectual depth. In his popular cantata or miniature comic opera known as "Coffee Cantata (composed between 1732 and 1735), he said, "Without my morning coffee I am just like a dried up piece of roast goat." He was really passionate about his morning coffee and this creative genius used to drink 3 or 4 cups a day.
Sir James Mackintosh (24 October 1765 – 30 May 1832) was a versatile genius of his time and he was an amazingly popular politician, jurist and historian. He said, "The powers of a mans mind are directly proportioned to the quantity of coffee he drinks". This is arguably one of the most well known coffee quotes of all times and clearly shows how much of a captivating effect on him the taste of the coffee had.
Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand (2 February 1754 – 17 May 1838) was one of the most highly skilled and influential diplomats in the history of Europe and his successful association with the great Napoleon speaks volumes about his diplomatic skills. He said about coffee, "Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love." His description of the perfect cup of coffee, perhaps puts into words the true taste, spirit and essence of this unique drink, better than anyone else.
Napoleon Bonaparte (15 August 1769 – 5 May 1821) was a hugely famous French military and political leader and, he is often regarded as one of the most prominent emperors in the history of the world. He said, "Strong coffee, much strong coffee, is what awakens me. Coffee gives me warmth, waking, an unusual force and a pain that is not without very great pleasure." These words came from a man of unbelievable fortitude and courage and clearly show Napoleons love and addiction for coffee. True, the majority of people probably wouldn't express their feelings in quite those terms, but how many people go on to become an emperor?

Weekly Horoscope 21st August to 27th August 2013
Last Friday August 16th I had the pleasure of talking to the Yateley branch of The Institute of Spiritualist Mediums. My topic for the evening was 'Tarot, how it can be used for mediumship,' and I had the most wonderful audience. I've talked to Yateley ISM before and it was lovely to be greeted so warmly by people I now consider my friends.
I started by talking about my personal experiences of psychic phenomena, including readings in which we have invoked spirit and received messages from departed loved ones. After our tea break I offered practical demonstration where anyone who wanted to have a brief 3 card reading could come forwards. The messages given were all very enlightening and we had some good laughs too, with one or two people saying, 'I was only talking about that in the break!'
If you live within easy reach of Yateley and you're on a spiritual path and looking for people to connect with then you couldn't find a friendlier group to join in with. Click through the link and you'll see this year's list of speakers.
There's no radio again this week as Paul Tizzard, the show's presenter, is still on holiday. Lucky Paul! But, we don't need radio to bring you you're weekly horoscope so that you can see what lies ahead.
Weekly Horoscope 21st August to 27th August 2013
The grand trine between Saturn, Neptune and Jupiter is still in alignment across Scorpio, Pisces and Cancer continuing the theme of elders and responsibility. This week sees the addition of a cardinal grand square in play between Venus in Libra, Pluto in Capricorn, Uranus in Aries and Jupiter in Cancer. This really muddies the waters for all star signs as cardinal grand squares push for action, so are very good at starting things, but without back-up from other planets find it difficult to see things through. Hence the beginning of the week sees most signs feeling sluggish, even though they are bursting for action. On the 27th August the grand trine goes out of exact alignment, Mercury goes into trine with Pluto and at long last, options can be analysed and a game plan for action decided upon. Phew!
Aries are in for a romantic week ahead although you will be confused about what you truly want. Do you want a permanent relationship or something less committed that's all about fun? You may well come down on the side of commitment as long as you can retain a lot of freedom. Group finances, especially family funds, are being adjusted to release money for travel and children.
Taureans, your stubborn streak rears its head this week. At work you will want to be seen as an authority in your field of expertise and push ahead for a higher position and greater success. At home others may perceive you as wanting everything your own way, so try not to be too argumentative with loved ones. Relaxation can be found in travel with just one good companion.
Geminis will be restless for most of the week. You have an abundance of dreams and plans, especially around sports and playful, creative activities; but getting others to agree with you, and putting those pans into action is sorely challenging. Your home life appears to be draining your finances and questions will arise concerning lifestyle and what you truly desire from life. Remember, people will like you for who you are, not what you have.
Cancerians are busy improving their homes, but some of you will be doing this with a view to selling and moving on. Positive communication is difficult for all signs this week, but you may feel that no-one is really listening to you. Sit quietly and read a book, or plan an overseas journey, both can be rewarding.
Leos like to be seen and acknowledged for their achievements, but this week all the praise will need to come from yourself as for once you appear to be invisible to everyone else. This can be a beneficial time for anyone interested in spiritual or mediumistic pursuits with fresh insights into your chosen area. If you're involved with teaching or training of any kind this will be a challenging week but the long terms results far greater than you could ever imagine.
Virgos will be on an emotional high this week. Serious discussions with romantic partners can bring agreements to get married, move in together or have children. The promises are rolling in and will be kept. If it's all about moving in together then anticipate disagreements over space and style and whether you keep your kettle or your partners, and where everything goes.
Librans you have to be careful not to try and be all things to all people this week. You may be asked to act as referee at work or play and it's your strong sense of morality and justice that sees you through. Being the middle man is never easy. If you're artistic and creative this is a fabulous time to show off your work. Musicians will do especially well, and any of you who do a public performance, even if it's a training session at work, will shine.
Scorpios are still steeped in responsibility and this week your strength is in the workplace. Family and work politics see you taking charge and making sure that everyone acts fairly. Home is your safe haven and quality time can be spent with family and friends, although there doesn't appear to be much time for people venturing into new romances because work is so hectic. Invite that special person round to join you and your friends, because that's where you're going to feel most relaxed.
In this week's tug-of-war between the planets Sagittarians will find yourselves torn between wanting to chill out and stand bold and prove to others that you know what you're talking about. Right now you're holding facts that other people are very interested in, so whether you're working in education or in charge of a team at work, making sure you get your point across clearly is essential. There doesn't appear to be much peace and quiet at home so don't fight it, go for a long walk. If you're having a house built, or in the building trade, check all plans and make adjustments now.
Capricorns are in a romantic, playful mood and if you're unattached new relationships can be forged in which one of you is quite a bit older than the other. This is a fun and flirtatious week, with more time spent out and about than at home. A work colleague can help you gain promotion, and lovers will lavish gifts. A good week for sudden windfalls.
Aquarians will be full of sudden ideas this week, but getting others to understand your grand schemes isn't going to be easy. Be patient. Work brings success, but others may be envious and question your authority. Walking away is better than arguing, so keep calm, by the 27th things will have turned around and improved. Spiritual pursuits and long drives in the country bring rest and relaxation.
Dreamy Pisces are in a carefree mood but work and elders push for duties to be performed. There's a long term theme of you wanting to reinvent how others see you and this week's challenges have you asking how you can be more free and independent long term. By the 27th people will be taking you seriously and help you find constructive ways in which to do less work and have more time for personal pursuits without going broke.

You have just surfed into the kitchen of my dreams... A big wooden table fills the middle of the kitchen, just the right height for kneading dough. Shelves dominate an entire wall of the kitchen with contents including homemade pickles, braids of dried chilies and garlic, tea tins, and cookbooks. Off to the side is a conservatory filled with sweet smelling herbs. But this is no country kitchen, it also has the latest in Italian kitchenware, with a top of the line oven and hob top. And of course it comes with a dishwasher. What an eclectic mess you think! Has this woman got no style! But the ambience of the kitchen overcomes you and you decide to stay awhile...
A chat over a nice cup of tea...
Are you like me in that you can't resist trying out new and exotic ingredients? My pantry is filled with strange, new, and novel ingredients that have peaked my curiosity. I also strive to use lots of wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables - organic if possible and in season (not tasteless imports). The next step is to then hit the web and find out what to do with them all. I thought I might list some of my discoveries and ideas here.
...and a wander in the garden
After months of searching we finally found the house of our dreams with a beautiful garden. One of the first projects has been to raise and retain the vege garden so that it faced into the sun. It was important to me that we used an ecologically-sound solution, which didn't involve treated timbers that can leach toxins into the soil. My father-in-law found an excellent solution that used untreated macrocarpa sleepers. When we're finished, I'll show you what we did and how we did it.

Fit & Fab February 16,2014
Simona Halep!
Hanep sa galing!
Translated as: Amazing greatness!
I kept asking Ruel, hey, why am I so into tennis lately? I have never been so zealous in watching matches …even in the time of Cris Evert, Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Billy Jean King, Martina Navratilova or Andre Agassi or Hinges ,Seles or Graf.
Ruel too was at a loss for a possible explanation.
Last Feb.10, I did not go with the kids and Ruel to Khalifa Stadium to watch the games cause, like I said, I was lukewarm to the game.
Now, since the Qatar Total Open 2014 is live on Ooreedoo sponsored TennisTv here in Doha, where you are able to see and know more about the players, catch them in slow mo for the important point or serve, one cannot help being bitten by the tennis bug…and I am definitely hooked.
My goodness, I just wanted to see in live action the Williams sisters. But, since Serena is injured, my only chance was Venus. And so, yes, I was able to watch her loose to the rising star, Petra Kvitova of Czechoslovakia. And, I have not wanted to miss anymore games.
Last night was so exciting between Simona Halep ( Romania) and Agnieska Radwanska( Poland)..and am so looking forward to the match tonight between Halep and Kerber of Germany.
I missed the game between Kerber and Jankovic ( Serbia) but so enjoyed the game between Jankovic and Petra Kvitova.
** ** **
This weekend was so jam packed with this and that.
We all missed an invitation to go back to Sealine in Meissaied to try out the dunes with an ATV and or the camels again. Ruel and I had these troublesome headache Thursday night. I guess too much of his roasted peanuts while watching the tennis matches.
Also, we were expecting workers to come and repair once and for all ( 1 year in the waiting) our bathroom ceiling which has it's mouldings peeling off and ugly due to a water leak from the upstairs flat.
We are so happy with the outcome. It so nice to LOOK UP each bathroom visit!
I am also happy that finally, my constipation, due to all the flurry of activities and excitement, has finally ended. It gave me such a discomfort last night.
I really felt so sick that I was left behind in the parking area of the church last night cause I felt so bad and dizzy and faint!
The last part of the weekend's event…that of my neighbor's abrupt departure for China, has maybe left a shocking in print in my psyche last night to the early morning today.
I offer my sympathy and prayers for XieXie.
** ** **
Today's gospel readings are very strong reminders for us to maintain our balance of being in this world and yet not of this world.
Jesus reminds us today, that He came, not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it.
He reminds us about LUST and ADULTERY as just 2 sides of the same coin.
He tells us about the proper posture in reconciling with our brothers/sisters who have offended us or whom we have offended.
He asks us not to KILL or HATE as being very similar.
Jesus also encourages us to remain UPRIGHT AND RIGHTEOUS.
He tells us to make our YES a real YES, our NO a clear NO.
I want to tie this with the after game interview of Simona Halep last night. Early on the game with Radwanska, she was losing. Her game plan was not working. She wanted a fast game, but, she had to stop and make an adjustment so she could be more aggressive and advantageous over her opponent.
And she proved true to her goal and form!
So smart!
In the same way with our walk with our Maker and Guide, we must be ready to conform to His teachings and counsels. If God advises us NO!
We should learn how to adjust our actions and YIELD!
Just like a maturing and responsible tennis player.
One cannot be just purely EMOTIONS…one has to have a MENTAL FRAME of MIND, that is focused on the greater POWER, with WHOM we can access power/strenght and gather unbelievable PROGRESS AND RESULTS with… and NOT WITHOUT in our lives…
That is why every time HALEP needs to be reminded of this she makes the ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN sign of the cross, on the head, right shoulder, then left…and she points UP as she returns back the GLORY to her Lord and Maker!
REFLECTION QUESTION: How faithful are you to God's commandments?
Lord Jesus, make me choose and decide on things as You would.(TKFDBR)
