The perfect time to throw a fun brunch to honor those special moms in our lives.
Make these cute animal themed gift bags for gift giving this Easter.
There are so many things I love about the fall season. The changes in the weather, the beauty of the browns and oranges and yellows as the leaves begin falling, the anticipation of more time spent with family. I also enjoy that it's a time that we traditionally begin to pay a bit more attention to changing up the decor around our homes. All that rustic beauty of the outdoors spills into our homes more than any other season of the year. I decided this year to use the new Fiskars fall punches and Graphic 45 papers, which beautifully capture the spirit of the fall season, to create a framed collage to display in our living room.
The base of my collage is an 10 inch x 10 inch canvas. I decided that, rather than painting it, I would cover it with fabric. This was a quick, easy process using the Fiskars 12.5 Inch Square Acrylic Ruler. It allowed me to cut a perfectly sized square of fabric to wrap around the 10 inch canvas without the need for measuring.
I first used the ruler and the 45 mm Comfort Grip Rotary Cutter to cut a piece of iron-on fusible web.
Following the very simple directions that come with the fusible web, I adhered it to some muslin fabric. I then placed the 12.5 Inch Square Ruler over the fused web and used the rotary cutter to cut out square from the fabric.
Next, the paper backing was peeled from the fusible web.
Then it was ironed to the front side of the canvas.
I finished by wrapping the edges of the fabric around the canvas to the back side and stapling them down to the wood frame.
To create the collage, I punched 24 circles from the Graphic 45 patterned papers and some neutral cardstock. After inking the edges of all the circles to give them an aged look, the circles were glued to the fabric covering of the canvas.
I continued punching patterned paper shapes using a variety of other Fiskars Squeeze Punches, inked the edges of them all, and began layering them on the circles. In the opening where the 25th circle would go, I adhered a slightly larger circle cut from Bella Blvd's Tail Waggers and Cat Naps line of papers. And creating a tiny collage on it to remind us all to be thankful for family. I added some buttons, small punched shapes, and small metal snaps throughout the collage to finish the design.
Finally, I covered a thin board slightly smaller than my frame opening in some burlap and a coordinating plaid fabric before mounting my canvas to it. The canvas can be adhered with a strong liquid adhesive or you can attach it using velcro.
And you can see that a simple design comprised of 25 circles can be transformed into a rich, textured piece of fall decor by layering bits and pieces top of them. One large collage made from 25 tiny collages!
Thank you to Graphic 45 and Bella Blvd who provided all of the patterned papers used to create this collage.
10 inch x 10 inch canvas, large frame with an opening that is at least 10.5 inches wide and tall, fabrics to cover the canvas and frame backing, variety of patterned papers in fall colors, odds and ends such as buttons, snaps, and pins.

2006 Larkmead Syrah, Napa Valley
Our first bottling of 100% Syrah from a small 1.82 acre block bordering the Napa River. A great vintage, it is unique in its soft elegance.
Winemaker Notes
Alcohol 14.5%
100% Estate grown fruit produced and bottled at Larkmead Vineyards
100% Syrah
Aged for 18 months in 33% new French oak barrels
296 cases produced
"Purple/black color. Striking aromatics of cola, dark blackberry, smoked meat and bacon fat. The palate is immediately richly textured and creamy with sweet red fruits evolving to black cherry and a dark hoisin component. Tannins are full, rich and dense yet the wine retains elegance and vibrancy on a bright acid-driven finish. Decant for an hour in its youth to allow the wine's strong fruit core to unfold and cellar for up to five years."

Radiant chilled ceilings (CC) with displacement ventilation (DV) represent a promising integrated system design that combines the energy efficiency of both sub-systems with the opportunity for
improved ventilation performance resulting from the thermally stratified environment of DV systems. The purpose of this study was to conduct laboratory experiments for a typical U.S. interior zone
office to investigate how room air stratification is affected by the ratio of cooling load removed by a chilled ceiling to the total cooling load, #, for two different chilled ceiling configurations.

"My finicky hubby loves it, and has never had a stomach upset or bad taste from this...He says he feels better overall since he's been taking Krill Oil, too. (He initially bought some Krill from a local health food store, and paid about twice what the Swanson Brand sells for.)" ~product review by LyndaRS
Superior bioavailability delivered in the form of natural phospholipids
Swanson EFAs Krill Oil featuring Superba™ Oil
The most eco-friendly source of pure omega-3 krill oil
Krill oil is among nature's best sources of omega-3 essential fatty acids, but not all krill oil supplements are created equal. Our team of experts here at Swanson Health Products conducted an exhaustive search to find the best for our customers. When we discovered Superba™ Krill Oil from Aker Biomarine Antarctic AS, we immediately recognized its high-quality bioavailability set it apart from the rest. But we also chose Superba™ Krill Oil because it was the environmentally responsible choice. Their sustainable Eco-Harvesting™ techniques protect the ocean and its delicate ecosystems, putting them at the forefront of environmentally sound and sustainable fishing practices. Each of our softgels delivers both EPA and DHA omega-3s for complete EFA nutrition. The phospholipid form of krill oil allows the EPA and DHA to be taken up directly into cell membranes, dramatically enhancing bioavailability. In addition, krill has the natural antioxidant astaxanthin, which not only protects the EPA and DHA from degradation, but also provides valuable free-radical protection for the body. Swanson EFAs Krill Oil uses the best krill oil in the world, delivering a natural source of omega-3 nutrition for cardiovascular support, mental health maintenance, PMS, healthy skin and more.
Learn more about the superiority of Superba™ Krill Oil.
Q: Can I take Krill Oil if I am allergic to shellfish?
A: No, krill is a crustacean, just as shrimp, lobster and crab are.
Q: What are the equivalencies between krill and fish oil omega 3?
A: Research has not been done to establish equivalencies.
Q: Are the omega 3s in krill in the Ethyl Ester form?
A: No, they are naturally occurring phosphate esters.

Congratulations to the Los Angeles Kings for winning the 2011-2012 Stanley Cup! The Kings defeated the New Jersey Devils 6-1 in their Cup clinching victory last night (the series finished 4-2). In route to the franchise's first Stanley Cup, the Kings went 16-4 for the playoffs and only lost 1 road game. Kings goalie Jonathan Quick won the Conn Smythe Trophy for the playoff MVP, and Captain Dustin Brown became only the 2nd American born Captain to hoist the Stanley Cup. Congrats again to the L.A.

Hello Maria ,
I know u may never get to read this nontheless i still write. I dont think u know how much having out on court mean to me and watching u play is the best gift someone could ask for.i remember the first i saw u playing that was sometime in 2003/2004 and u were on pink about 1am in the morning Nigerian time. I fell in love with ur game and ur personality ever since and it hut to see u injured . I know how it feels to be injured i heared one on my right Shoulder it really hut especially when u depend on such a lovely serve for which i must say u've brought a whole new meaning to tennis in my opinion which i know many will agree on! Maria this is been a very poor year even in ur posible worse standard, fewer tournament entered for more on media than Maria . because Maria is Tennis . No doubt i can say u've got the mental will and the figthing spirit needed out there realize millions of fans restricted by protocols and the fund to meet u in person are lifted when they see u happy and playing a great game . At ur good u are better the best .Do me a favour work on ur mind and become the Star u are and not a Supernova cuz u are here to stay.
Love Abbey
Oh, he's a wierded out fan. I get it.
He should simply send the messages to "Ask Maria".

Comments On Nov 18, 2010:This is one of those situations where you could probably improvise something else to stop the gears from turning while you remove or torque nuts. But, it is really nice to have the right tool that accomplishes the task simply and quickly. The only downside to this tool is the cost; it is relatively expensive for something so simple.

Comments On Sep 20, 2009:If you do your own engine work, this is a great tool. Even with the engine partially disassembled on the bench you have a means tolock up the crank or gear train for disassembly or reassembly. It really comes in handy and is so much easier to use than a scrap of aluminum. I recently used it to replace the crank in a friends Yz250F. Great tool.

2020-style technology here now
By TOM J. BECHMAN
When John Deere did its mammoth new equipment introduction at Starkey Farms near Brownsburg, it meant Indiana was where the technology of tomorrow was unveiled. It wouldn't have had to be Deere. Most companies working on advanced technology are beginning to reveal what the future might look like.
The most captivating demonstration at Mike Starkey's farm was the tractor and grain cart "picking up" the combine. There was a driver inside the tractor, but once the tractor and cart were within a couple hundred feet, the combine operator took control.
Key Points
• Hoosiers got a peek at new technology this summer.
• Tractors without drivers could be a reality before 2020.
• Tractor and cart controlled by combine will be reality in 2012.
The driver proved it by holding her hands well off the steering wheel as the tractor and cart circled in front of onlookers.
Not only does the tractor and cart pull alongside, but also the speed matches that of the combine. The combine operator can adjust the speed of the tractor so he or she can dump into the front or back. The driver can even "nudge" the cart from side to side.
Tomorrow comes now
Deere hopes to release the equipment, which makes this demonstration possible, for 2012. Kinze is also working on a tractor and cart that could be sent after the combine from anywhere.
Ironically, my daughter Kayla's speech in the Indiana FFA state speech contest in June was about what agriculture would look like in 2020. She went for the "wow" factor with tractors that drive themselves. Little did she know that the technology was already being tested.
The biggest obstacle to a tractor with no driver is likely safety and liability. The other factor not mentioned directly at the Deere introduction is cost. To equip your tractor pulling the cart to sense the combine and go into autosteering mode, controlled by the combine driver, new hardware and software will be needed.
One feature of Deere's system is that the cart driver can monitor fill level of hoppers of more than one combine and go after the combine that needs to be dumped first. Starkey isn't sure his operation is big enough to need or afford that technology yet.
Deere and other companies are betting that several operators will want it, and will likely have it long before 2020.
No hands! The driver of the tractor pulling the cart is simulating picking up the combine on the go, and doing it without touching the steering wheel or other controls.

Comments about Dakota Backpacker Microlight Clip Watch:
This is the second Dakota Backpacker Microlight Clip Watch by Dakota I have bought. My first is 12 years old and still running strong. The black paint has chipped off over years of abuse, so I purchased the sandblasted one to wear with my suit to work. Easy to see the time and not on my wrist where my other watches get easily bumped and knocked around. I LOVE this watch.

To help in their attempts to quit, smokers in Halton have the opportunity to enroll in the Smoking Treatment for Ontario Patients (STOP) Program and receive free nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in the form of patches.
"Working with our community partners to help promote healthy living in Halton is a key priority for Regional Council," said Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr. "As the year draws to a close, I encourage smokers in Halton to consider taking steps to healthier living by exploring this innovative program and the other supports available through the ?Region."
For many smokers, the cost of nicotine replacement products can be a barrier to quitting. The STOP Program provides five weeks of free NRT. NRT is a practical support for alleviation of nicotine withdrawal symptoms and has been shown to be effective in helping people to quit smoking.
Those interested in participating in the STOP Program may do so by attending a workshop. STOP workshops will be held in Milton and Oakville this Wednesday. To see if they are eligible to participate, and to register for the workshop(s), residents should call the Halton Region Health Department by dialing 3-1-1 or (905) 825-6000, toll free 1-866-442-5866 or TTY (905) 827-9833.
The STOP Program is conducted by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care as part of its Smoke-Free Ontario Strategy.
"In addition to providing nicotine replacement, the STOP Program will offer educational materials to encourage the participants to make broader changes that can improve their overall health," said Dr. Bob Nosal, Medical Officer of Health for Halton Region. "Often smoking does not occur in isolation and can be accompanied by other risk factors for disease such as poor nutrition and lack of physical activity."
To date, results for STOP participants have shown an improvement of at least two times the typical quit rates.
Introduced in 2005, through a partnership between the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and the Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport, the STOP Program has already provided nicotine replacement therapy, free of charge, along with counselling support to 80,000 people from across Ontario.
For more information about the program, visit www.camh.ca.

- I set out some play dough and the boys added their construction equipment and they were busy, for literally hours, creating a complete play dough construction site.
- A learning scavenger hunt! Matching up letters and numbers to their corresponding counterparts after they've been found.
- George tried a little water painting on the chalkboard. He's quite the artist!
- I went on a hunt to find some more hunts to feature on It's Playtime! this week. The I Spy book shown here is found at Beautiful Somehow, and three more hunts are featured!
This coming week…
I'm stepping out of my activity boundaries that I usually do [to write a parenting post] and going to chat a little about our ordeal with Night Terrors as part of The Golden Gleam's "We Get It: Find Support for Difficult Childhood Behavior" series. While I don't have a solution to George's night terrors [yet], I've found some little techniques that we're trying that seem to have some progress, and I'd like to share them with you [along with you guys sharing your expertise with me! I'm all ears for some tips, too].
I'll also have a couple activities to share this week, I'm sure. I think I may throw in some ideas that will be really fitting for the boys, too!
Wow! Two weeks in a row I've got pictures of me with the boys! This is unreal!
A little snuggle time before bed, reading some books with both the boys. They were sitting so nicely this night [often a rarity], that I had to have my husband snap a picture or two.
I invite you to come talk to me! Leave me comments on posts, or talk to me on Facebook! I'd love to chat with you and get to know you a little better. If you're not comfortable writing in a public space, you're always welcome to email me at [email protected].
Have a great week!

Flexibility, faith, patience and a sense of community are among attributes Jessica Houk brings to her role as a foster home "mom."
The former special education teacher and her husband, Carson High School social studies teacher William Houk, have a 4-year-old son of their own and take on foster children a pair at a time.
"We're on our fourth pair of siblings," Jessica said during an interview about foster parenting and the things that someone contemplating such a role will need.

Apparently this comes from the show Newsroom, which I've never seen. Probably the most accurate monologue I've heard in any medium in years...
Its a decent show. I enjoy it, though it gets a bit to left-leaning sermony for my taste from time to time. Sometimes Sorkin hits the nail on the head and other times he sets up debates just to knock them down while preaching.
Liked this rant in particular from the show:
I love this show. And that speech in the original post hits it dead on. When I first watched that speech on HBO I was riveted.
One time we mixed a bulldog with a shiatsu. We called it a bull****.

Engine Yard is a hosting company that is positioning itself as the hosting provider of choice for Ruby applications by a variety of developer focused strategies. In an effort to raise their profile and gain credibility in the Ruby community they've hired Evan to work full-time on the development of Rubinius. They've also hired the excellent Ezra Zygmuntowicz of camping fame which gives them huge cred in the developer community. Not only are they just latching onto established efforts, they are creating new markets by going after the shared hosting crew by developing mod_rubinius . I would guess that the benefits are twofold – they look like nice guys by giving back to the community, but they also create a very easy path for them to upsell shared hosting into VPS. Everyone wins when this kind of effort is put into a business model.
Evan and Eric Hodel are out in Australia for the Rubinius Sprint set up by Marcus Crafter and fellow Engine Yarder Dylan Egan . In a side trip Evan came to Melbourne and spent three hours explaining how Rubinius worked and answering a heap of really interesting technical questions from the Melbourne crew before heading out for a few quiet (5am) drinks.

I'm developing a site for a client and am using the blog part of WordPress for her portfolio. I've also created a couple of page templates to list here workshops and current projects and used Custom Post Types to enable her to add content to these pages. It now looks strange to have her portfolio to be labelled as posts and I wondered whether this is easy to change without messing with the functionality of the website.
I want the navigation within the Wp backend to read:

The important and prominent role of medicine and medical care permeates the history of modern civilization. From our impressions of the history of the ancient world, Eastern and Middle Eastern cultures, The Middle (Dark) Ages of Europe and our modern civilization, the course of societal development has been greatly affected by the presence of ill health and disease and the absence of contemporary adequate personal and public health sources.
Often the presence of the Healing Arts in a society has included the role of a leader which has evolved into the role of physician in the last several centuries, but often a more important factor has been the assistive leadership, knowledgeable skills, and caring abilities of the nursing profession. Beginning in many aspects as a devoted profession of religious societies of nuns ("sisters"), evolutionary history of the profession now presents it as a vital part of modern medical practice. A recently prominent book and PBS television series depicts this reality in a dramatically realistic manner.
Contemporary historical and experiential literature, especially personal life stories or autobiographies, often give us a depth of history, knowledge, and realism about a specific time period, geographic area or occupation. An example of such literature is the book "Call the Midwife" and its related television dramatizations of the experiences of its author, former midwife and district nurse Jennifer Worth.
Jennifer Lee Worth (1935-2011) encapsulated her early professional nursing life as a practitioner of midwifery (Obstetrics) and District Nursing (Public Health Nursing) in a series of books "Call the Midwife" and "Call the Midwife" trilogy. Mrs. Worth's career and life's adventures are remarkable. Born and educated in Redding, England, southwest of London, she went to London to study midwifery and then worked in the East End of London, the area of "Jack the Ripper," The Elephant Man," and the Kray Twins. In 1973, she followed her passion and became a professional musician, wife, and mother. In response to recognition of the lack of information and appreciation of the nursing profession and its literature by the public, she documented her life and work in these books before her death in 2011.
From a medical aspect, the television series was dramatic and entertaining. However, her book is a real joy to experience because it vividly depicts the life of the East Enders of the London Docks in post-World War II London with its culture and related life crises. Characterized by poverty, isolation, and dire living conditions, many of the medical and societal conditions are unpleasant and chilling to read, but one is impressed by the positive aspects of the area realized by Mrs. Worth - and the reader. This book of life experiences should present medical and societal challenges of perception and expectations of our modern society.

Women who experienced sexual or physical abuse in childhood and adolescence-whether moderate or severe-run a higher risk of type 2 diabetes than women who were not abused, according to results from a study recently reported online in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
Physical abuse that did not involve sexual molestation increased women's chances of developing type 2 diabetes in adulthood by 26 to 54 percent, depending on the frequency and severity of the abuse. In the case of sexual abuse, even one incident increased the likelihood of acquiring type 2 by 34 percent, while multiple incidences increased the likelihood by 69 percent.
Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital/Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health in Boston analyzed data from 68,376 women who are part of an ongoing nationwide study, "Nurses Health Study II." The study, which began in 1989, initially enrolled 116,430 nurses 25 to 42 years of age. Since that time, the study cohort has been tracked by questionnaires mailed out every two years that ask about risk factors and disease.
One theory about why women who were abused in their youth run a higher risk of type 2 diabetes centers on overeating as a form of consolation and self-medication for traumas brought on by mistreatment. As the women gain weight or eat unhealthy foods, they run an increased risk of obesity and other factors, such as high blood sugar, that can eventually morph into diabetes.
The study found that even when abused women did not have a high body mass index, there remained a 10 to 30 percent increased risk of type 2.
Questionnaire Unveils Pattern
Statistics about the relationship between abuse and the development of type 2 began emerging in 2001, after a questionnaire on violence was added to NHS II's regular follow-ups. Study managers received 68,376 responses, which became the basis for the percentages reported here.
The questionnaire covered three age periods and categorized physical abuse in four ways:
● Childhood-up to age 11
● Adolescence-11 to 17 years
● Adulthood-18 and over
Physical Abuse Levels:
● None
● Mild-being pushed, grabbed or shoved at any frequency; being kicked, bitten, punched or hit with something once
● Moderate-being hit with something or physically attacked more than once
● Severe-being kicked, bitten, punched or physically attacked more than once, or ever choked or burned, even if only once
Spanking was not included in the definition.
Sexual Abuse Levels:
● None
● Unwanted sexual touching only
● Forced sexual activity once
● Forced sexual activity more than once
In all, 65 percent of respondents reported some degree of physical or sexual abuse before adulthood. Even after adjusting for such factors as age, ethnicity, body type at age five,* family history of diabetes, and parents' educational levels, those respondents' still ran a 24 percent greater risk of acquiring type 2 than respondents who reported no abuse.
*There was little difference in body type at age five between the women who reported childhood abuse and those who did not. By age 18, however, their body mass indexes began to diverge, with abused respondents reporting higher body weight.
Lead researcher, Dr. Janet W. Rich-Edwards, director of developmental epidemiology at the Connors Center for Women's Health and Gender Biology at Brigham and Women's Hospital, says the that while an association between childhood abuse and adult obesity has long been noted, the study by her and her colleagues is the first large-scale examination of a link between abuse and diabetes.

How Aussies are fighting to topple an el loco despot
I am a Venezuelan-born Australian who's been living in this great country for almost eight years. In my time here I have very much embraced our great lifestyle and laid-back attitude.
As many other Venezuelans here I find myself living the 'Australian dream' and have become so Australian that sometimes I even have the odd 'whinge' about things here like an imperfect public transport and even government taxation, even though some of these would seem quite pedestrian when compared with what's going on back in my country of birth.
But this month I have what could be my last chance to make Venezuela a place of only petty problems, much like Australia may seem.
On Sunday, October 7th 2012, Venezuela, a country of just under 30 million people, located at the top of the South American continent, will hold a general presidential election. The successful candidate will only hold the position for a 6-year term but this election will in fact determine the fate of the country for the next 50 years.
Incumbent President, Hugo Chavez, is a former army commander who led a failed military coup in 1992 against the democratically elected government of the time. He briefly served jail time for his actions before receiving a pardon and, in a bizarre turn of events that only seems possible in a third world country, went on to run for and win the 1998 election by a landslide. After 14 years in power he is seeking his second re-election to impose his Cuban-style "socialist, Bolivarian revolution".
During Chavez's rule, Venezuelans have seen their country collapse with horrific street violence, a dramatic rise in murder rates, astronomical inflation rates, blatant corruption and mishandling of public funds, the destruction of an oil and gas industry that was once the envy of the world, and the collapse of the national power grid and utilities to a point where blackouts have become part of the daily routine.
Henrique Capriles Radonski, "el flaco" or the "slim one", as he's affectionately known within Venezuela's opposition, is a young, energetic and charismatic politician (and most importantly, a civilian) who has not only diminished fears about the secrecy of the vote, but also challenged Chavez's iron-fist rule and actual chances of continuing in power.
After serving terms in Congress, then as Mayor of a large area of "Greater Caracas" and most recently Governor of one of Venezuela's largest states, Capriles has shown a rather refreshing style of leadership with inclusion, justice and reconciliation as the main priorities, which has suddenly resurrected a sense of hope in Venezuelans, home and abroad.
Venezuelans have had to face and live an incredibly sad division amongst themselves, where, thanks to Chavez's ideological warfare, even families have been torn apart, forced to "take sides" with one or the other. You either support the "comandante" or you are an "escualido" (Spanish for squalid), one of the many derogatory terms Chavez has introduced to refer to his opponents, so as to suggest they are worthless.
Twelve thousand kilometres away in Australia, the lucky country, a growing population of immigrants from Venezuela, thousands of them, live their lives as most Australians. They go shopping, have picnics, own houses and businesses, have babies, watch the footy in the winter and the cricket in the summer, go skiing in Victoria, NSW or even NZ. They contribute to the economy with their hard work.
Like so many immigrants from other countries, they have come to Australia to develop their careers, to have families in a safe environment, to stop worrying everyday about whether they will make it back home alive after a day's work.
They just want to be able to work knowing their political affiliations won't result in them being fired or worse still, blacklisted. Many, like me, were amongst 22 thousand people fired and blacklisted in 2003 from Venezuela's state owned oil and gas company just for showing dissent against the government. I was 26 years old at the time.
Of course, they hang out together a lot, go to birthday parties, have barbecues and dinners featuring Venezuelan food, tell stories and smile about the "good old days", mix up stories of home with stories of trips to the wineries in SA, the Great Barrier Reef in QLD, New Year's in Sydney and that road trip to Uluru.
All too often though the smiles are erased by the news of friends or relatives back home who were mugged, kidnapped, lost their job or even worse, murdered over a pair of shoes. They don't stop thinking about home for a day; they continue to suffer for friends and family.
The outcome of the coming election probably won't change the lifestyle of the many Venezuelans living in Australia, but there is one thing they can still do for their birth country and loved ones: VOTE!
Almost 1000 Venezuelans from all over Australia will be lining up at the tiny Venezuelan embassy in Canberra first thing Sunday 7th October. They may have to wait all day, just like we used to back home (last time I voted I lined up at my old high school for nine hours before I could vote!), to cast their vote and make a difference.
There are about 20 million registered voters in Venezuela, so one thousand might sound like small potatoes, particularly in Australia where, unlike Venezuela, voting is compulsory, but every single vote matters.
They'll be together, making a difference like so many other Venezuelans all over the planet, contributing from afar to a better place for their loved ones, one they can all be proud of.
The fight for democracy and freedom never stops, and it will always go the distance. One vote at a time they will be there, fighting.

Ah Venezuela home of Miss World winners. We welcome Venezuelans they must surely increase the average hotness of Australian girls, and that can only be a good thing.
acotrel says:
It always amazes me when some Australians are indifferent about the importance of democracy. It is the only thing on this planet worth fighting for. 100,000 Australian soldiers died in two world wars so we could have the right to vote and influence the way we are governed.
TChong says:
Gabriel,is getting to vote for a candidate who was a mayor, premier etc ,- someone who has used the democratic process , despite being in oppostion, to achieve office, and possibly the top job.
Doesnt that show that democracy is live and well, despite the fear and loathing ?
Families - "torn apart" ? so , people disagree everywhere, why is such disagreement elevated to such hyperbole ?
No mention of US oils sanctions ? Unusual thing to forget, for some one so impassioned about their birth places welfare)
Chavez won in 1998 "in a landslide" . Thats right , the people voted.
Maybe the opposition will get in, maybe Chavez stays, thats democracy.
BTW the AVSN dont seem to share Gabriels concerns.
( The AVSN , like the author, is obviosly partisn, and claim to be equally representative of Venezuelan expats)
Mik says:
On "Australianness" I have heard many immigrant and refugee families proudly state something along these lines "I didn't realize just how Aussie I had become until I went back to my country of origin. And my children?-Too Aussie to even understand why there were places and memories I might still have a fondness for."
There was an interesting article recently in the Weekend Australian by a young
man who had gotten into trouble for terrorist activities in Australia who went to Syria - he found he was too Aussie to cope with the brutality he witnessed.
Dr B S Goh, Australian in Asia says:
I find the title of this article difficult to understand, "How Aussies are fighting to topple an el loco despot".
Firstly I believe we in Australia must begin to become more inwards looking and focus on our own survival in the looming crisis in Asia which will take place before 2050 and which can destroy Australia completely.
Secondly I think all migrants should be given a maximum of ten years to take up citizenship of Australia. If not they should then be encouraged to leave Australia.
Thirdly once people take up Australian citizenship they should stop worrying about the politics in their original countries.
We need to create a new Australian tribe and nationalism to survive in the looming crisis in Asia due to overpopulation and shortages of food. Food prices in Asia are now back to the levels during the mini food crisis in 2008. This year we had extreme drought in USA and some parts of India.

John says:
Chavez is not a US puppet, I guess we are all mad and insane if we don't support the US, their wars and their pathetic dollar.
TheRealDave says:
What….non Anti-US rubbish and posts along the lines of 'its all about the oil' or cheering on 'David' Venezuela agains the Goliath (United States)??
You lot dissapoint me.
Or unless 9:15am is too early for them??
AdamC says:
Venezuela is an excellent example of how you can take a country with fantastic natural resources and completely ruin it with socialist policies and oppression. Then, of course, you have to distract everyone with nationalist nonsense and silly, anti-American posturing. But for the latter, I suspect Wayne Swan likes to model himself on Hugo Chavez, especially with his anti-rich, commy-pinko rants.
I hope Chavez is booted out by his electors. However, is it not just as likely that he will refuse to accept an election defeat and rule as a military dictator? He practically does that already - why not make it official?
tazed citizen says:
If we allow Julia and Swannie to continue we will soon find ourselves in similar situation.
Being Ausses we will rather share a pair of thongs rather than kill for one though..
James says:
Funny how it's always the ex-pats who can afford to migrate to Australia want the good old days back. Where the ones born into a good family could abuse the ones on the social rung below them. Chavez was voted in by the people! In an election that even the US said democratic! The people want him. Could that be because the majority of the people DIDN'T have it better before Chavez. I also think it's ironic that the author mentions the Chavez backed Coup, yet fails to highlight the US backed Coup in the early 2000s which many of the current opposition supported.
Look, I don't love Chavez, he's much too extreme for me (and most western people). And the author would know more than I, who have never had the chance to visit Venezuela, however, it's important to remain aware of the good that he has done, the most importantly that he was democratically elected.
notworldlyelly says:
If you've lived here for 8 years and are living the Australian dream, how come you get to vote in the Venezuelan elections ? Can you vote in both countries i.e. Australia & Venezuela ?
Harry the Bat says:
Sorry Gab I found your writing style contrived and you over-reached on the I'm an aussie and so are all my fellow country folk who reside in Australia. Australians already know we live in the best country in the world. We don't need that fact forced down our throat. It's clear you don't like Chavez but the point is he was elected. I am sorry for the way your country has deteriorated but Chavez wouldn't be the first politician to make mistakes. I think it all started going bad since the departure of David Penberthy from the South American Continent in the late 80's… It's time he went back to start the revolution. Cerveza and Venezuelan ladies…Hail Penbo.
paul says:
Yea dude I got an idea why don't you hand your country back to the americans? Because they have cared for you so much. At least Chavez is trying to do something for the poor people in his country.
fedup Labourvoter says:
Gabriel, I hope you get your country back soon, and the removal of this socialist despot Chavez. Good luck to you and your countrymen.
David V. says:
Amazing how the lefties here tout Chavez as a kind of model to follow when it is an obvious failure only covered up by oil. While a country like Singapore under Lee Kuan Yew achieved far more under a "right-wing dictatorship" and is a fantastic place to live. But he must be some kind of "fascist" to the Lefties isn't he? I'd feel much safer in Singapore than Caracas!

LINCOLN — The Big Ten Conference on Monday issued a public reprimand of Husker football coach Bo Pelini and also fined the University of Nebraska $10,000 for Pelini's comments regarding the officiating after the NU-Iowa game Friday.
NU Associate Athletic Director Chris Anderson told The World-Herald on Monday night that Pelini would be responsible for paying the fine. The Big Ten also said it considered the matter closed and would have no further comment.
In a statement, the Big Ten said it determined that Pelini's postgame comments were in violation of Big Ten Conference Agreement 10.01, which states in part that the league "expects all contests involving a member institution to be conducted without compromise to any fundamental element of sportsmanship. Such fundamental elements include integrity of competition, civility toward all, and respect, particularly toward opponents and officials."
NU Athletic Director Shawn Eichorst said in the release that the university "embraces and supports" the Big Ten Sportsmanship Policy.
"In that regard, we were disappointed with Coach Pelini's actions this past Friday regarding game officials," Eichorst said. "We immediately recognized and addressed the situation with Coach Pelini and the Big Ten Conference. In addition, Coach Pelini acknowledged and accepted responsibility for the inappropriateness of his actions and issued a public apology in advance of this reprimand."
See a transcript of everything Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said at the postgame press conference.

See a transcript of everything Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said at the postgame press conference.
During the 38-17 loss to Iowa, Pelini vehemently objected to a pass-interference penalty called against linebacker Zaire Anderson midway through the third quarter. His strong sideline reaction, including swinging his hat in front of head linesman Steven Matarante, led to an additional 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
In his postgame press conference, Pelini said the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty "was a chicken---- call." He also three times said the crew "blew" the pass interference call and said officials "didn't man up enough to pick that flag up."
Pelini issued a statement Saturday that included addressing the incidents from the day before.
"I apologize for reacting emotionally yesterday and for showing frustration both with the game officials and the media," Pelini said. "I fully understand and respect their difficult jobs, and I regret any and all actions or words which may have shed a negative light on our program and university."
An NU spokesman said Monday night that Pelini would have no comment on the reprimand and fine.
The Big Ten office also issued a public reprimand of Ohio State player Marcus Hall for inappropriate gestures he made toward the Michigan Stadium crowd after being ejected from the OSU-Michigan game Saturday. The university was not fined, but the conference office also issued a public reprimand of the Buckeye coaching staff "for failing in its duty to effectively manage the process of escorting an ejected student-athlete from the playing field to the locker room."
According to the Big Ten handbook, disciplinary actions for such violations of its sportsmanship policy can include reprimands, fines up to $10,000 or possible suspensions of up to two games.
The reprimand from a league office is the first for Pelini. After his sideline outbursts at Texas A&M in 2010 — when the Huskers were called for a school-record 16 penalties in a 9-6 loss — Pelini faced no disciplinary action from the Big 12, although NU Chancellor Harvey Perlman the following day admonished his behavior and said it did not reflect well on the university and football program.
Pelini previously this season apologized for an expletive-filled rant toward Nebraska fans after a 2011 game that was taped without his knowledge and released in September by Deadspin. That also was followed by a joint statement from Perlman and Eichorst saying they believed Pelini was sincere in his apology, but adding that the comments were "unfortunate and deeply concerning to us, as they would be to anyone who loves this university."

Crusaders Earn Fifth Consecutive AVCA Academic Award
Wednesday, July 30, 2008
For the fifth consecutive season, the Valparaiso University volleyball team received the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award for the 2007-08 school year.
The honor is given to college and high school teams that displayed excellence in the classroom by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average on a 4.0 scale. The nominating head coaches must be AVCA members. Valpo was one of a record 70 Division I programs to be so honored this season.
The Crusaders continued to excel on the court as well as in the classroom last year, winning 21 matches, finishing tied for third place in the Horizon League and advancing to the championship match of the Horizon League Tournament. Over the five years that Valpo has captured the AVCA Team Academic Award, the team has a cumulative record of 127-45 (.738) and has made three trips to the NCAA Tournament.
Valpo was joined by fellow Horizon League institutions Cleveland State, Green Bay, and Milwaukee as award recipients.
