I love his time of year when it's time to make Christmas things. Raiden loves anything crafty and enjoys every activity we do.
I love making handmade cards for family, so we thrilled to be asked to review some Merry Stickmas cards from www.kidscardkits.co.uk.
Each pack contains sticker sheets, blank cards and envelopes to make 12 fantastic cards. Packs cost £6 with free post and packing to anywhere in the UK.
There pretty simple to do, there is sticker sheets with the stickers which make up pictures to create. I like the fact there is no mess, no glue to spill.
You can do a bit put it away and it back out again & there pretty easy to pop in a bag and take to nannies house for an activity.We had a fab time making the cards and Raiden really noted making them we have even sent on to Santa too :-)

Finely got around to staining and finishing the top; kinda forced into it do to our annual corn roast where friends and family from all over the country get together and the wife put her foot down and said we need a place to site for meals plus I needed to make bar stools as well.
This counter top has sat unfinished for more than 5 months with many temperature and humidity changes so I think acclamation was complete. These first few pics are of the top re-sanded and wet down for grain raising as we had planned to dye the top and not stain it, after ordering the dye colors and testing them we decided none of them were to our liking.
While deciding whether to leave the countertop clear or stain it; bar stools went into production, not figuring they would be permanent we decided to stain them, so I took all the left over cans of minwax and dumped them together and stained the stools, the wife liked the color so much she decided to stain the countertop the same color, so there you have it. :-)
As usual, pics never do justice but you get the gist. :-)
The inner counter will be poured in place concrete.
Thank you for stopping by!!
Cheers – Jeff
-- To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.

Grand Challenges for Archaeology - Crowd Sourcing Report
Author(s): Keith Kintigh
Year: 2013
This document reports the results of a crowd sourcing effort to identify the grand challenges facing contemporary archaeology. The crowd sourcing was accomplished through email requests and listserv postings by the major North American and European professional associations. In this request, we asked our colleagues to identify problems of broad scientific and social interest that could drive cutting-edge research in archaeology for the next decade and beyond. We received input through a Web-based survey (included here) that sought a concise statement of a grand challenge problem or question and, optionally, a justification of the importance of the problem and demographic information for the respondent.
This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 12-02413. The idea for this effort was developed by the steering committee for that grant, composed of by Keith W. Kintigh, Jeffrey H. Altschul, Ann P. Kinzig, W. Fredrick Limp, William K. Michener, and Jeremy Sabloff. The survey itself was developed by Keith Kintigh in consultation with the steering committee.

My friend, Eden Vigil Director Lowell Bliss, plied his Facebook eloquence again and posted this meditation on forgiveness. I publish it here with his permission.
I was walking with the dog on Nickel Beach this morning and praying about a yearlong project that I feel called to as a spiritual athlete, namely not to enter the 2020 election/prophetic cycle without being as "fully forgiven up" as possible, by which I mean Ronald Rolheiser's aspiration: "I forgive others for hurting me, I forgive myself for sinning, I forgive life for not being fair, and I forgive God for not rescuing me."
At one point on my walk, I felt I was being given an image in the surf at my feet. We have no control over the waves that wash up on us and over us. Today the air was cold and the wind from the south was kicked up and Lake Erie was crashing higher than normal on southern Ontario. My late mom was famous for her platitudes and here is one of them: "All the water in all the oceans can't sink a ship unless it gets inside." I think that applies to boats, but I don't think it applies to human beings. We are created to be permeable. We aren't like rock cliffs on the coast; we are like sand on the beach. If we are not permeable to hatred, fear, and hurt, neither would we be permeable to love and kindness. So I don't think we have as much control over what gets inside us at any given moment. Neither, in truth, do we have as much control over forgiving others as we may think. We of course have some, perhaps even much. Forgiveness engages our wills, and can even begin there if all else fails. "I forgive; help my unforgiveness" seems like an appropriate prayer, but my point is that if forgiving others was totally under my control, then I wouldn't have to pray that prayer repeatedly over the span of weeks and months or the entirety of 2019.
If we are permeable on the way in, then we are also permeable on the way out. This was the image of the surf on the sand on the beach. Each wave came in and inundated the sand, turned that patch of beach a slightly darker color. When the wave receded again–as they always do, just as the Great Lakes return to a regular calm in anticipation of their final and eternal placidity–you could watch the water seep out of the sand as well. Soon no movement at all was perceptible, but the color of the sand was turning a lighter shade. I accepted it as evidence, easily deducible, that water was seeping out.
Our lives in Christ Jesus, like all beaches, are built on a slant. We are not built high enough above the shore to prevent the waves reaching us, but we are built with enough slope that the water will eventually seep downhill again and out to sea. We can trust this. We can give it time. The one thing however we do have control over, it seems to me, is whether we build any sandcastle fortress at the edge of the water, useless for keeping new waves at bay, but tragically effective at trapping water behind it.

You seem to be getting hold of things now. Remember one thing, the hull is full of details, which you will have to include when considering that massive scale. Details like seacock openings, engine water cooling inlet and outlets, ssacrificial anodes, additional stiffner plating, etc. Believe me, without these the hull would look like an ordinary toy boat.
I like the method you are using for the hull. I use the same technik for the small boats, especially the ship's boats. the the ship have any portholes in the ship side? if so, do not use the normal brass ones, found in the local markets. Remember, The German portholes had no flanges. Follow my article, you have everything explained in detail - so you cannot go wrong.
Come on my friend, you are on the right track.

Every time I've visited Utah I feel like I'm in a scene of, "The Hills Have Eyes," and I'm about to get slashed, or even burned to death by the scorching heat. However, any one who has spent any time there will tell you Utah is its own unique adventure paradise. This state is actually one of the most, "ooo and aww," places I've ever been to. It's really a different type of beautiful, and one of the greatest shows on earth.
Showing off a vibrant red orange palette, the views in Utah are enticing to no end, and the National Parks it offers are incredible. I think the phrase, "I'm bored," has never been used here. It's also the first place (it's happened since) I've been flipped off by a driver for going too slow or something? IDK. I was admiring God's work and I got punished for it. Allow me to share two must-see National Parks I was drooling over!
- Zion National Park: Southwest, Utah
There are several highlights here, but holy smokes, Angel's Landing tested me. This one isn't for the faint of heart. I didn't know this place even existed and it ended up getting crossed off my bucket list.
You start with a gradual incline, and if you choose one of the hottest days in summer, first off… YOU'RE INSANE, but you will walk away with a sweaty workout. After a couple miles uphill, you may see a couple turning away and hear the words, "our lives are more important than that," and you will question your other half on why they subjected you to this.
Once you think you've reached the top point, you'll see a faint view of hikers on an even higher point. To meet them, you will have to hold on to the chains of life or death to pass the steep cliffs, giving you vertigo upon looking down. It gets narrower in some spots, but with patience and a healthy level of safety, you will persevere and make it to one of the most remarkable sights of your life. The curves and edges of the landscape is more impeccable than Kim Kardashian's assets.
I was blown away. Seriously, it's really windy up there. If you find your way to Zion, Angel's Landing is definitely my top recommendation. I'd definitely consider it a more challenging hike, but you will feel accomplished and amazed at how wonderfully crafted the topography is. Just remember lots of water and some sturdy hiking shoes, and you'll be fine.
Another highlight of the park is The Narrows. Coming in second place after Angel's Landing, this hike is the epitome of finding the light at the end of the tunnel. Rather than sweating bullets on hot lava as I did at Angel's Landing, this hike was more of a walk through cool water. For real, this is what you do – walk through a cool river, and for miles. It can get to about hip length deep at some points, and you'll stumble upon rock pebbles along the way, but it was definitely a kid friendly hike. If you don't like a rough massage at the bottoms of your feet, I'd suggest bringing a solid pair of hiking boots/river shoes for this voyage. It also stays very cool in the canyon, so I'd suggest bringing a light waterproof jacket, even on a hot summer day. The day I went, it was 110 degrees outside the canyon, but by the time I walked a few miles in, it felt more like 60.
This hike may seem never ending. 16 miles to be exact. You can turn around whenever, but you aren't going to want to. Looking upon the canyon, you may feel as if you are in the center of nature's cleavage. Again, like the rest of Utah, this hike was uniquely different from many other places I've been to, and definitely something you don't want to miss out on in your lifetime.
2. Arches National Park: Moab, Utah
I visited Arches National park in the winter, so it was vastly different than my taste of Utah during the summer. Although covered in a thin layer of powder, the Utah color scheme wasn't shy to show itself apart from the snow. This place amazed me with the angles and arches randomly placed about. How the masterpieces were made, I have no idea.
Delicate Arch is a popular attraction in the park, and definitely a crowded one too. The famous, free-standing arch is debatably Utah's most recognized attraction. In fact, you have probably seen it on Utah's license plates. Nice product placement on Utah's tourist industry's part. But, you must see it in person to really capture its beauty and fulfill its justice.
Balanced Rock joins Delicate Arch as one of the most popular and busy attractions in Arches National Park. With such a name as Balanced Rock, you can guess what's happening here. A rock is balancing 128 feet above you kid's head on a needle like buttress. Your kids are screaming "Oh look ma, cool!" and you are screaming at your kids to leave the area before the whole thing comes crumbling down. That's how unbelievable this rock formation is. But hey, the rock has stood there for hundreds of years, mother nature might have something up her sleeve after all. Did she go to engineering school? Something to think about until next week's blog post.

ES – Spanish court rules that links to p2p content are legal: "(EDRI-gram)
A civil court in Barcelona has recently ruled against SGAE (the Spanish collective society of authors and editors) in a case brought against Jesus Guerra who was administrating a site with links to P2P content. SGAE accused Guerra of infringing copyrights by having reproduced and communicated to the public works owned by their constituency. The defendant argued that his website was a non-profit site only providing links that could be used by users only through eMule, a P2P application, to connect to other Internet users. No content was actually hosted on that specific website. The judge ruled in favour of the defendant arguing that linking 'does not suppose distributing, reproducing or making publicly available copyrighted works.' In the judge's opinion, the creation of an index of links is not an infringing practice as linking is an integrant part of the Internet.

Once a week, on a Tuesday, the walled garden at Knole is open to the public. Among its extensive grounds, there is a small herb garden with lots of medicinal herbs growing, including the impressive Garden Angelica. Angelica (Angelica archangelica) is probably best known as those super green, super sweet crystallised sticks used in cooking but medicinally, it is a particularly useful aromatic bitter to help soothe digestive upsets – the monks of Chartreuse even have it as an ingredient of their digestif – but it can also help with coughs and cold and fevers.
P.S. Garden Angelica does have a sister in her Apiaceae/Umbelliferae family – the Chinese angelica (Angelica sinensis) but she has quite a different character!

Police say they found a Kentucky robbery suspect hiding in a trash can.
Lexington Police say officers found 23-year-old Raymond J. Jones in a city waste bin Friday. He's charged with first-degree robbery and giving an officer a false name, along with an unrelated theft warrant.
Police say they responded Friday afternoon to an armed robbery at a Metro PCS store. An employee said a masked man with a black backpack pointed a gun at the employee as he approached the counter, demanding cell phones and other items.
Witnesses told police the man fled on a bicycle.
Police say they found Jones in a waste bin on the curb, and his backpack with the stolen goods was in a recycling bin.
Jones was taken to Fayette County Detention Center.

When you order the 75-cent Afghani-style nan bread at Kings Chicken on Beechnut near Wilcrest, they bake it for you fresh, Jay Francis enthused.
We ordered some and then hung around the front counter and watched the cooks in the kitchen throwing the big piece of dough in the air like a good pizza crust. Then they slid the dough into the hot steel oven. A few minutes later, they brought the giant flatbread to our table – it was too hot to touch.
"This is the second best bread in Houston," Francis said as we tore into the crispy-crusted, puffy loaf. (The best, he claimed, is the Afghani nan at Himalaya restaurant on Hillcroft.) The nan resembled a folded over pizza without any toppings. We used pieces of it to mop up some spicy chicken korma.

Kings Chicken is a funky, run-down fried chicken outlet that has been converted into a makeshift Indo-Pakistani restaurant. You can still get fried chicken – with nan bread of course – or you can get a nice plate of curry. We tried the chicken korma for $4.99 and a plate of goat korma for $6.99, and both were excellent. Two pieces of fried chicken are $2.49.
The food is excellent and inexpensive, the service dysfunctional. You might as well order in Spanish, because nobody speaks English – the kitchen crew is a mix of Afghanis and Salvadorans. The Spanish-speaking cleaning crew seems to be on a perpetual break – hence the tabletops are always a tad sticky.
If you are feeling adventurous early in the morning, try one of the wild breakfast combinations. There's also a fairly normal-sounding egg and paratha bread breakfast for $5.99, and little puffy puri breads are two for a dollar. – Robb Walsh

Detour Gold's battle with billionaire down to the wire -- and both sides may claim victory
By Gabriel Friedman
National Post, Toronto
Friday, December 7, 2018
U.S. hedge fund billionaire John Paulson's battle to oust the entire board of directors at Toronto-based Detour Gold Corp. and replace them with his own hand-picked group officially ends when final ballots are counted on Tuesday, but he may already claim some victory.
And perhaps Detour will too.
... Dispatch continues below ...
USAGold: Coins and bullion since 1973
USAGold, well known for its Internet site, USAGold.com, offers contemporary bullion coins and bullion-related historic gold coins for delivery to private investors in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It is one of the oldest and most respected names in the gold industry, with thousands of clients and an approach to investment that emphasizes guidance and individual needs over high-pressure sales tactics. The firm's zero-complaint record at the Better Business Bureau makes it an ideal match for the conservative, long-term investor looking for a reliable contact in the gold business.
Please call 1-800-869-5115x100 and ask for the trading desk, or visit:
USAGold: Great prices, quick delivery -- all the time.
Regardless of whether other shareholders grant Paulson's wish for "wholesale change" on the board, Detour's management has already partially conceded some of his concerns by replacing two of its directors this summer. It also added at least one director whom Paulson could support. More recently, it recommended the ouster of an additional two directors, so four of the eight directors on the board when Paulson launched his campaign this summer are likely to be replaced.
While that isn't the majority Paulson has campaigned for, it is an outcome that would give both sides cover to claim victory. ...

View all content for Aucheleffan
Allt Nan Tighean (AKA "Aucheleffan Stones")
Site visit 20 July 2016
Parked the car at Kilmory Church and walked in via Cloined Farm (and Pottery). The route starts as the well surfaced farm road and deteriorates a little afterwards. It was twenty three years sinced I'd walked the route and yet the Beech Hedge on either side of the first 400 yards after the Pottery still seemed strangely familiar. On a particularly muddy stretch of pathway I was suddenly aware I was not wearing my walking boots... but had instead set off in the pair of comfy suede shoes I'd been driving in. I could see the well-metalled forestry road a little ahead, it was too late to walk back and change footwear now. The route up ahead was gonna be excellent so I carefully picked my way through the mud and puddles and made good headway after the Forestry Commission road started. Easy going for three or four kilometres, through Aucheleffan Farm and on up to the stones.
The continued clear-felling of forestry on the South of Arran has opened up the site beautifully, revealing a stunning view down across the South of Arran and across to Ailsa Craig. The view back up the hill doesn't have any such wow factor.
The clear felling has also revealed a few more stones a hundred yards due South of the Aucheleffan four poster. One in particular is an earthfast upright monolith about 1 and a half metres high and squared, tapering towards the top (in a typical Arran fashion).
In 1995 another four poster was reported about 200 metres South East of Aucheleffan Stones and is named on Canmore as "Aucheleffan". Due to high bracken and the mess of clear-felled Sitka Spruce debris this other four poster was not to be seen on this visit.

Just like Burt Reynolds.
Available Now Everywhere!
CHEAP THRILLS, available now on Movies On Demand and select theaters and digital VOD March 21st, has recently inspired actual human beings to willingly perform outrageous stunts for cash and prizes in front of sold-out festival audiences.
One dare involved a tattoo of the film's title on the buttocks of a courageous attendee and another saw the meeting of reproductive organs and a bowl of ghost pepper-garnished Sriracha. This is only the beginning.
With the simple share of this website on Twitter, stars Pat Healy, Ethan Embry, producer Travis Stevens and Drafthouse Films CEO Tim League will be one step closer to having to execute one of the many electrifying acts below.
Once they are "unlocked" by a set number of social media shares, video and photographic evidence will be released for your viewing pleasure.

Thrilling Comic Book Heroes
Since late May, we've primarily been exploring the pulp magazines of the Thrilling Group on the PulpFest home page. We've discussed the Standard sports pulps, western hero pulps, thrilling detectives, and the pulp heroes of the thirties and the forties. We've even found time to explore the lives and careers of Standard's managing editor Leo Margulies and his assistant Mort Weisinger, prolific author Norman Daniels, equally prolific cover artist Rudolph Belarski, and more. Today, we will turn our attention to the Standard Comics line.
Ned Pines was primarily a pulp publisher with nearly four-thousand issues produced from 1931-1958, along with RANCH ROMANCES through 1971. However, Standard was also a second-tier comics firm from 1940 through 1959, with the circulation of the company's comic books being somewhat limited on the West Coast. When they started hunting for them, comic book collectors found the Standard Comics to be much scarcer than pulps from Standard, especially given the firm's prolific publication of science fiction and western pulps.
The firm's costumed heroes were published only from 1940 through 1949, then made no appearances anywhere–except in fanzines–until a few AC reprints began popping up in the 1980s. Not counting westerns, science-fiction, magicians and jungle characters, Standard/Better/Nedor/Four Star/Pines/Visual Editions published only seventeen strips with costumed characters, most of them beginning during the first half of the 1940s. The only two names commonly recognized today are The Black Terror and The Fighting Yank. Therefore, as colorful as they were, the Standard heroes were far less known among Golden Age comic book collectors than were the super heroes from the likes of top-tier publishers DC, Timely, Fawcett, and Quality.
The company's flagship character was ostensibly Doc Strange, who appeared in 88 stories beginning with THRILLING COMICS #1, dated February 1940, and running through #64, dated February 1948, and in the anthology title AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #1-23 and #27. Created by writer Richard Hughes, later the editor of the American Comics Group, and artist Alexander Kostuke, Doc Strange gained his powers from a magic elixir and was basically a super-powered Doc Savage. He soon began to resemble a weight-lifter in t-shirt and khaki pants. Doc never had his own title, but he was popular enough to hang around longer than most superheroes of the early forties, lasting almost to the end of the decade.
The real flagship, of course, became the colorful Black Terror, who debuted in EXCITING COMICS #9, dated May 1941, running through the last issue, #69, dated September 1949. Along with Tim, the teen partner he acquired, he was essentially a Batman knockoff and gained his powers through drugs — fitting because he was a pharmacist in civilian life. Unlike other publishers, Standard almost never used recurring villains, instead presenting the most generic of all generic super-hero stories. Also created by Hughes, as well as artist Don Gabrielson, The Black Terror was one of two Standard super heroes with his own title, running in #1-27 from 1942 through 1949. He also appeared in all 31 issues of AMERICA'S BEST COMICS, concurrent with his own title, for a total of 174 stories. All three of the comics that ran The Black Terror were canceled in 1949, and a few years later, the company largely departed the comic book market.
The other Standard character with his own title, The Fighting Yank, first appeared in STARTLING COMICS #10, dated September 1941. His adventures ran through STARTLING #49, dated Jan. 1948, along with FIGHTING YANK #1-29 and AMERICA'S BEST COMICS # 9, 11 and #13-25, for a total of 141 stories. A supernaturally created character, he was Standard's answer to Timely's Captain America and the many other mainstream Golden Age patriotic heroes. Likewise created by Hughes, along with artist Jon Blummer, the Yank was in "real life" Bruce Carter III, who had an identical ancestor — also named Bruce Carter — in the War for Independence. In times of crisis, the earlier Bruce would manifest himself in spirit form, and help out. It was the Revolutionary War Bruce who showed the World War II Bruce where to find a magic cloak able to protect him from harm and impart super strength. In addition to this green cloak, Bruce III's Fighting Yank outfit included several 18th century fashion motifs, such as a tri-corner hat and square buckles, and a modern-style American flag on his chest. The series ended in 1949.
Standard's other primary super heroes were Captain Future and Pyroman. Even though he had the same name as an existing Standard pulp hero, Captain Future resembled Superman and Captain Marvel. The character's adventures ran from STARTLING COMICS #1, dated June 1940, through #40, dated July 1946. He also appeared in AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #1-3, 5 and 22, for 45 stories. The Captain was created by Pines editor Mort Weisinger, whose contribution seems to have been suggesting a hero who would have adventures under that name. Although the author is not known, the original Captain Future story was drawn by Kin Platt, who later co-created Supermouse, the first ongoing funny-animal superhero in comics.
After scientist Andrew Bryant bathes himself in a mixture of gamma and infrared radiation, he can fly, emit bolts of energy from his hands, and perform prodigious feats of strength. Calling himself Captain Future, he wasn't invulnerable and needed to be recharged from time to time. So he usually kept his radiation machine relatively handy. Although featured on the covers of the first nine issues of STARTLING COMICS, Captain Future was demoted to the back pages of the comic book following the introduction of The Fighting Yank in the tenth issue of the comic magazine.
Pyroman, a quasi-Human Torch with electrical powers, ran in STARTLING COMICS #18-26, 28-43 and in most issues of AMERICA'S BEST COMICS for a total of 43 stories. Created by an unknown writer and artist Jack Binder, Pyroman never had his own title, but did take the cover away from Fighting Yank in December, 1942, when his origin story appeared in STARTLING #18. Dick Martin had been a student of electrical engineering before being framed for arson. Sentenced to die in the electric chair, he got super-powered instead. Pyroman's powers weren't exactly flame-based, like The Human Torch's. Instead, he was crackling with electricity, which he could hurl at his foes in the form of lightning bolts or form into a sort of force field. The character stuck around in STARTLING COMICS until 1947 when he was replaced by Lance Lewis, Space Detective.
There were five other patriotic strips — Standard rivaled Timely for the most involvement in World War II by its super heroes. These were The American Eagle (34 stories, mostly in EXCITING), The American Crusader (22 stories, mostly in THRILLING), The Liberator (22 stories, mostly in EXCITING), The Four Comrades (a kid group who appeared only in World War II era issues of STARTLING) and The Grim Reaper (19 stories, all but two in WONDER COMICS #1-17).
Standard had two early non-powered costume heroes — The Mask (only in EXCITING #1-20) and The Woman in Red (primarily in THRILLING). The Mask was the comic book version of The Black Bat, a pulp hero created by writer Norman Daniels for Standard's BLACK BOOK DETECTIVE. Due to the resemblance of the character to Batman, Standard decided not to do a Black Bat comic series; instead it introduce The Mask, a series based on The Black Bat, but with the names changed. Later, a version of The Phantom Detective from the pulps appeared in most issues of THRILLING #53-70. The other noteworthy non-powered costume hero was Miss Masque, who appeared in sixteen stories in four titles, beginning with EXCITING #51 (Sept. 1946). The Scarab and The Cavalier also made a handful of appearances, but were strictly back-of-the-book characters.
Wonderman, a science-fictional super-powered character, debuted in the short-lived MYSTERY COMICS #1-4 (all 1944) and continued in WONDER COMICS #9-20, along with two stories in the giant COMPLETE BOOK OF COMICS AND FUNNIES (a 1944 one-shot). William F. Wise sub-published several comics for Standard during the era of wartime paper restrictions, including MYSTERY COMICS and two giant square bound one-shot titles in 1944.
Not counting the William F. Wise issues, Standard published only seven titles with costumed heroes. All were at least reasonably successful, including the twenty issues of WONDER COMICS from 1944-1948. The cover art, almost entirely by Alex Schomburg, doubtless had much to do with selling the comics, as most of the interior art was unremarkable. All titles ran bi-monthly or quarterly during most of the 1940s, with a short run of monthly issues for THRILLING, STARTLING, and EXCITING until paper rationing took hold.
The only super heroes Standard published in the 1950s were mighty mice — the original World War II creation Supermouse, who ran through 1958, and Paul Terry's Mighty Mouse. Standard acquired the license from St. John in the mid-1950s.
As part of its celebration of the Thrilling Group, PulpFest 2015 is proud to welcome Altus Press publisher and 2012 Munsey Award winner Matt Moring; 1979 Lamont Award winner and author of "The Wild Adventures of Doc Savage and Tarzan" Will Murray; pop culture expert and 2014 Inkpot Award winner Michelle Nolan; and popular culture Professor Garyn G. Roberts, who was awarded the Munsey in 2013, for a presentation entitled "Thrilling Heroes of Standard's Pulps and Comics." Scheduled for Friday evening, August 14th, at 10:40 PM, it will examine the evolution of the Standard hero in both pulp magazines and comic books. Thrilling's heroes of the detective and western genres will be dissected on Thursday, August 13th.
Our discussion of Standard's heroes began on Friday, June 19th, to call attention to this "Thrilling Presentation!!!" You can read our previous posts about the Thrilling pulp heroes of the thirties and forties by visiting www.pulpfest.com.
(Doc Strange, a super-powered Doc Savage, headlined the first issue of THRILLING COMICS, dated February 1940, and featuring cover artwork drawn by Alexander Kostuk.
The Black Terror was introduced in the ninth issue of EXCITING COMICS, dated May 1941. The front cover was drawn by Elmer Wexler. The character was created by writer Richard Hughes and artist Alexander Kostuke. The Black Terror was one of two Standard super heroes with his own title. The other was The Fighting Yank, likewise created by Hughes, along with artist Jon Blummer.
That's the comic book Captain Future on the cover of STARTLING COMICS #1, dated June 1940. The cover artist was Kin Platt, who also drew the first Captain Future comic book story. A character who resembled Superman and Captain Marvel, the comic book version of Captain Future was nothing like the character found in the pulps, created by Edmond Hamilton.
Created by writer Richard Hughes and artist Al Camy, The Grim Reaper was one of a seeming army of non-superpowered masked mystery men who fought crime and the Axis during the forties using only their wits, fists, and, in the case of The Grim Reaper, two .45 automatic pistols, knives, swords, and occasionally machine-guns. Alex Schomburg was the cover artist featured on the first issue of WONDER COMICS, illustrating The Grim Reaper story that headed the issue. Debuting in FIGHTING YANK #7, dated February 1944, The Grim Reaper had to wait until the second issue of WONDER COMICS to have his origin story told.
Ned Pines was one of many pulp magazine publishers who got into comic books the minute he saw what success DC Comics was having with Superman. Like most, he entered the field with a bunch of anthology titles anchored by super heroes. He started diversifying the minute it began to look like the public might be getting tired of that genre. In 1942 and 1943, he introduced a couple of humor titles for kids, HAPPY COMICS and COO COO COMICS. It was in the first issue of the latter, dated October, 1942, that Supermouse made his debut. Supermouse went on to become one of the most successful funny animal superheroes to come out of comic books. Although COO COO fell by the wayside in 1952, Supermouse had gotten his own comic in 1948 and kept at it until Fall 1958, about a year before Pines completely dropped his line of comic books. Among the writers and artists to work on the character were Dan Gordon (creator of The Flintstones), Richard Hughes (creator of Herbie), Gene Fawcette (who worked for Quality Comics, Dell and many other publishers), and Milton Stein (who worked as an assistant animator for Fleischer in the 1940s). The cover art for SUPERMOUSE #1, dated December 1948, was drawn by Carl Wessler.

A few episodes ago, I create a podcast called How Do You See Yourself, where I talked about 'identity'.
And it seems to have really impacted people. I've had people send me tweets and messages to let me know how the podcast has helped them, which is amazing.
And a common theme I have noticed coming up around identity has been to do with 'imposter syndrome', which is extremely common. It's where you think that you are not qualified or worthy to be doing a certain thing, or to be in a certain role. You think that you'll be "found out", and you're terrified others will realise that you don't actually know anything, or that you're no good at what you do; that you're just pretending to be this person that you actually aren't.
Essentially, you don't IDENTIFY or SEE YOURSELF as this person.
And it's happened to me before, many times. When I started my very first blog, I thought to myself "Who am I to write this? Who is going to read it? I'm not an expert!" but I realised it was my opinions and my experiences that would make the blog unique.
Anyway, the other day, I received an amazing email from a podcast listener, Charles, who shared his story of how he too was letting his imposter syndrome hold him back from launching his personal development and career blog. But, after listening to my podcast, he made a powerful mindset shift, got his social media accounts together and launched his blog! Boom! Big congrats to you Charles.
I know Charles' story will inspire you too, so I've shared it this week on the podcast.
I'm featured in this free video series!

Making SharePoint Discussions Multilingual
Posted by Martin Laplante on 15 December 2011 10:59 AM
Team discussions have complexities that require some thinking before making them multilingual. A team discussion is a specialized list that contains two different content types and three different views, with views applying to one content type only.
The desired end result is that the content types that you wish to be multilingual have the appropriate PointFire fields added, and that the views that you wish to be filtered have the language filter web part added to the view and activated. You may also wish to make use of IceFire's machine translation web part for discussions (currently in beta) to allow users to translate the posts that were made in another language.
Content Types
Discussions have 2 content types: "Discussion" and "Message". The "Discussion" content type is what is created when a new discussion is started, and includes the initial post in the discussion. The "Message" content type is for each of the replies in the discussion. A given Team Discussion list can have any number of discussions and any number of messages. The Discussion content type behaves like a folder, in that Message items are hierarchically underneath a single Discussion item.
Discussions have 3 views: "Subject", "Flat", and "Threaded". The "Subject" view is a familiar "AllItems" page and contains a list of all of the items of content type "Discussion" within the list. The Flat and the Threaded views are similar to each other for the purpose of this discussion, and show items of type "Message" that are underneath a given Discussion, as though Discussions were folders.
Effects of adding the Item Language field.
When a Discussion list is made multilingual using the Multilingual List Settings in the list ribbon, by default only the Discussion content type within that list will have the additional language field(s) appearing in its New form unless the configuration key PFMUIContentTypes in web.config has been set to TRUE. PointFire can still set and filter this field even if it does not appear on the New and Edit forms, but given how discussions are designed and used, that can be inconvenient for users.
The effect of adding the Item Language field to the default Discussion content type is to allow filtering of the list of discussions by language. This means that for each discussion, a language has to be declared, or more than one if the checkboxes option is used, and a language filter can be applied to discussions. For instance, you can have French-language discussions and make them invisible to people whose language is not French, by letting PointFire add the Item Language field to the Discussion content type, and by letting PointFire add and connect the language filter web part on the Subject view. You can also let PointFire add the language Variation fields, which can link a discussion in one language with one in another. This is only useful for allowing users to toggle from a Flat or Threaded view of a discussion in one language to the equivalent discussion in another language.
Adding the Item Language field to the Message content type lets you filter posts by language within a multilingual discussion. This means that for each post, a language must be declared, or more than one if the checkboxes option is used, and it is possible to filter out posts made in a different language. Please note that if you choose to add the Item Language field to this content type, it must have the same settings (single vs multiple value, default language, mandatory) as for the Discussion content type within the same list. If you have made discussions language-specific, or if you are using the machine translation feature, which can automatically detect the language of the message, there may be no need to add the Item Language field to this content type nor to filter its two views by language. There is typically no need to add the language Variation fields, which can link a post in one language with one in another, to the Message content type.
How to add the Item Language field to the list content types.
Once you have determined which content types require which language fields and which views require a language filter web part, follow this procedure to add them:
1) Add the Item Language field to the Discussion content type by using the Multilingual List Settings in the list ribbon of any of the three views. Please note: whatever the view, this will add the language field(s) to the Discussion content type only, not the Message content type unless PFMUIContentTypes is true. Even if you have determined that the Discussion content type does not need it, add it initially and delete it from the list content type later. The language filter web part will only be added to the view on which the ribbon menu is invoked; it may have to be added manually to the other views if needed.
2) If you need to add the Item Language field to the Message list content type, use the list ribbon menu to go to the List Settings. Scroll down to "Columns" and check that the "Item Language" column is used in the Discussion content type only and not in the Message content type. If so, scroll back up to "Content Types" and click on "Message". Near the bottom of the List Content Type Information screen, find and click on "Add from existing site or list columns". Within the List Columns you will see the Available Column named "Item Language". Click "Add" to put it in the "Columns to add" box then click OK.
3) If you need to delete the Item Language field from the Discussion list content type, use the list ribbon menu to go to the List Settings. Scroll down to "Columns" and check that the "Item Language" column is used in the Discussion content type. If so, scroll back up to the Content Types section and click on "Discussion". Click on "Item Language", and then click "Remove".
4) If you need to add and connect a Language Filter web part to one of the three views other than the one to which it was added in step 1, navigate to that view. Remember that Discussion view is only available at the top level of the list, while the other two views are only available within a discussion. Edit the page and add a Language Filter Web Part from the web part gallery if there is not already one on that page. When the filter is first added from the gallery, it is not connected, and will give a message to that effect. The filter has a clickable link that will automatically connect it to the list, or this can also be done manually by following the instructions in the user guide.

Delta Good-rrrmm banned from driving
SHE has a voice like an angel, but behind the wheel she's a little devil.
Beloved pop princess Delta Goodrem has proved she is human after all, losing her licence for speeding.
The chart-topping diva, who has been a judge on Channel 9's The Voice for the past few years and will soon play Olivia Newton-John in a Channel 7 telemovie, was fined and suspended from driving after being snapped going over the limit on at least two occasions by a traffic camera.
A well-known car enthusiast who has been pictured over the years driving vehicles ranging from a high-powered Bentley to a V8 Supercar, Goodrem had planned to contest the speed camera readings in court on Tuesday.
In an appeal notice filed in the Downing Centre Local Court, Goodrem said: "The last two speeding fines were excessive and did not warrant the demerit points. I feel the speed camera is inaccurate and would like to appeal."

A surprising time in Sahara of Morocco • 17 مايو 2010
Dear Sisters,
Dear brothers,
We had a very surprising trip this time to the Sahara of Morocco.
On friday we have met the chief of the state police and Mr Belkacem one of the new seekers. We know him since january and he came to our program in Rabat.
He mentioned about the Yoga; finally the chief invited us to do a Yoga performance; and it happened that during their karate and judo performance they gave us 15 minutes just to give them short introduction about Sahaja Yoga and showing them how to raise their kundalinis.
We had about one thousand guests or more and all kinds of officials; the Wali was there, the Governor, the Guard of the King and many others. Even the TV broadcasted this event when Hamdi, Bachir our very young Sahaja yogis there and me showed them how to raise the Kundalinis.
Spontaneously hundreds of women stood up and with them many men followed;
with great joy like they were all waiting already for their self realization.
Hundreds and hundreds must have got self realization.
It was a great experience last Saturday.
The chief of the state police he really enjoyed it and also in the morning during brakefast we saw one of the guard raising his kundalini and talking to his colleagues about the experience!
Jai Sri Mataji
Franz and Morocco team

Dialpad tones play an important role in the management and functioning of the on-screen keyboard. Users may come to know of the touching of the keypad by the sound of the dialpad tone whenever you touch any key. If any key is not touched and pressed, properly, during the process of typing and writing, the absence of the keypad tone will inform the user that any key is not touched and is not written. And the user may correct the error.
It is easier to activate the dialpad tone but if you are feeling any trouble to activate it, you may see the instructions.
1: Tap the icon of the 'Dialer' app at the bottom left corner of the Home screen of your Android 6.0.x Marshmallow smartphone and device to open up the 'Dialer' app screen.2: At the 'Dialer' app screen, tap the 3-digit settings button, placed at the top right corner of the 'Dialer' app screen. It will open up a popup menu.3: At the popup menu, tap the 'Settings'.4: At the 'Settings' screen, tap the 'Sounds and vibration'.5: At the 'Sounds and vibration' screen, see the 'Dialpad tone' is not checked, i.e. not enabled and activated.6: Tap the ''Dialpad tones' to activate and enable it.From now-onward, whenever you will touch any key, the keypad tone will tell us that any key has been tapped.
That's all!

And this is what Logitech is trying to do since years now. They are always trying to offer the gamers the best possible gaming accessories, and the G510 gaming keyboard is the last great keyboard in Logitech's tradition.
First of all, this is not an ordinary keyboard, not even by the gamer's high standards. The first thing you will notice about it is the sheer size and weight. The Logitech G510 is 52 cm long, 22 cm wide and weights no less than 1,125 kg. With this keyboard in front you can really feel in charge of your gaming.
The G510 is back colored with a gray field second edge. The USB connexion cable is also black, same as the keys, but those are decorated with transparent characters, so you can basically chose what colors to have them. The keyboard also comes with a mini LCD screen that will also help you with the color customization of the keys.
Although large and heavy, the G510 still manages to look very stylish, screaming quality from any angle you chose to look at it. All ends and edges fit together well, the material gives you the sensation of quality and nothing seems loose or misplaced. In the same time it offers the feeling of being both practical and durable
On the left side of the keyboard, the hard core gamer will have the opportunity to use to his needs a whole set of programmable keys – no less than 18 of them.
On the top right of the keyboard we have the 6 buttons that control sound and playback of media. There is a big "mute" button and a rolling wheel that controls the volume of all sound coming from your PC.
Another great thing for any gamer is the fact that you can connect both a microphone and an audio input. Also the backlit keys are a characteristic of a keyboard designed for long gaming sessions.
If you are one of those gamers obsessed with competing and wining against all foes and all odds, the Logitech G510 can give the little extra-edge needed to overcome even your greatest in-games enemies.

Well, hens or bachelorette party ensures some of the best treasured moments both for the bride-to-be and her best buddies. Now, the question comes where to host the hens party? You can hit a plush karaoke bar here where all of you can have a great time amidst song, dance and booze. A gay-themed bar is another fantastic idea as you will find male strippers here. If you are planning something out-of-the box, a party around a bonfire would be excellent. Otherwise you can even have the hens night-out at any of your friend's home. There are hens party shops online from where you can order the hens party decorations in Australia. Added to the décor products, be sure to stack your party night with great gourmet and wine or liquor spread. The hens night party games are one of the pivotal features of any bachelorette party. Guess the gift-giver Everybody attending the bachelorette party has to bring a gift for the bride-to-be but later won't be notified about the gift-giver. The bride would be handed the gifts one by one and would be asked to name the gift-giver. If the bride is right, the gift-giver will have to take a sip but if the answer is wrong it's the bride who would be sipping. Quizzes Another popular game idea is to test how well the bride knows her groom. Prepare a set of questions on the groom and get the answers beforehand. Then tally them with the bride's answers. On each wrong answer, the bride will be taking a sip. For more hens night ideas, visit Hensnightshop.com.au

Lower Back Tattoos
On a woman's body there are a few places that can be thought of as sensual. Although this varies from culture to culture, many consider the most sensitive areas to be the nape of the neck and the infamous lower back. With that being said, it's really not hard to see why lower back tattoos have become so popular over the years. Although women have several areas for tattoos, the lower back is one of the most […]Read more

Tangalooma's shipwrecks a snorkelling paradise
As the sun goes down, and darkness descends, we're engulfed by an eeriness.
But, what would you expect?
We are, after all, floating in the middle of a graveyard... of the watery kind - the famed shipwrecks just off the coast of Tangalooma, on Moreton Island.
We're sitting in our illuminated kayaks - call it mood lighting.
The water is calm inside what has been dubbed "The Oasis".
A small safe haven enclosed by giant rusted monoliths protruding from the depths, protected from the rough waters of the ocean beyond. Their silhouettes against the backdrop of this moody night sky make for a haunting image.
It feels quite the contrast from the vibrancy that radiates just five minutes away (by boat) at the popular Tangalooma Island Resort, currently housing about 300 guests, and almost that number of staff, and a bevy of action-packed land and water-based activities.
A glance down through the transparent bottom of our two-person kayak, however, is a reminder of the energy that extends out to sea.
There's the abundance of marine life swimming underneath, lit up by the LED lights that line our crafts.
Slowly paddling on, through and around the sunken vessels, moon hovering above the clouds, our informative guide unlocks the mystery and magic surrounding them.
It's not so much about the fish tonight - more on them later - but the place they call home.
The wrecks, now covered in crustaceans as well as rust, are in fact old steam-driven dredges and barges scuttled by the Queensland Government over a period of 21 years between 1963 and 1984 to provide safe anchorage for recreational boat users.
There's 15 of them in total, the most famous being the Maryborough, built in 1885.
Some of them are more visible than others, an enormous cog, long having ground to a halt, among the highlights.
While this particular journey can be cruisy, it is not for the faint of heart, especially on the outer side of the wreckage breakwall.
I've kayaked in rivers and lakes, but never in open water. It's exhilarating knowing you've successfully traversed the choppy waters, working against the strong current and avoiding the odd close call - tipping over or pummelling into the wrecks themselves.
I had my wife and mobile phone with me - I didn't want either of them to go in.
Sure, there's an element of danger, but that's part of the excitement.
Returning by boat the following morning it is an opportunity to really take in everything the location has to offer underneath the water. On a perfect autumn day, with the sun beaming down, it is time to don the flippers, goggles and snorkel.
And what an awesome experience.
At least after an initial shock to the system - acclimatising to the chilly conditions, and letting the wetsuits we were wearing do their thing.
Charting the same course as the night before, with a guide at the front and another at the back, the shipwrecks were this time simply a backdrop to the spectacular display of reef fish (more than 100 species) and coral formations.
Tangalooma is an Aboriginal word that means "where the fish gather". It could not be more apt. Everywhere you look, there they are swimming around without a care in the world. There is the blue tang surgeon fish, the clownfish (made famous by Finding Nemo) and the spectacular fluorescent blue-green parrotfish.
I miss the resident octopus, even when one of our intrepid guides swims down to point it out, but I do see the incredible Wobbegong carpet shark, just quietly going about its business, returning to its home in the deepest, darkest area of the wrecks.
As part of an action-packed two days at Tangalooma that also included a thrilling quad bike tour, informative and fun desert safari tour and a rare chance to feed wild dolphins, the snorkelling was arguably the highlight. So much colour. So much life.
Hardly a graveyard.

People who know me know that I'm not in love with accounting. I understand it, I have a brother who is a CPA, I've been lucky to work with some fine accountants over the years. That said, just as reading a cookbook doesn't make one a chef, so too does buying an accounting program not make me a bookkeeper.
I've railed in this space before about Peachtree Accounting. I also realize that 90%+ of problems are user error, not software design or code BTW.
So here's one that isn't. I received an email this morning with an offer of "free shipping" on an upgrade of my accounting software package that is good for 2 days only. Having realized that there are some nice features in the next level package, I decided to investigate by clicking through the link. Maybe, if it's not too expensive, I'd even buy it.
And that's when the fun stopped dead. Ignoring the fact that an offer of free shipping on a product that is to be downloaded is kind of bogus to begin with, the link I clicked through gave me this on the Peachtree web site:
We cannot determine the product you want to review. Please use your browser's Back button, select another product and try again.
WHAT? A potential customer just tried to order something (the link says "upgrade now") and you blew them up? What doofus coded this email? What other doofus proofed it? Yes, I tried in IE as well as Firefox and no joy. Even the error message is screwed up – I didn't get to that page via my browser per se – I clicked through an email and going backwards isn't an option – the mail opened up a new tab and this error page is the only thing in it – one can't go "back."
This is, to me, as bad an error as a business can make: literally to cut off a customer as they're trying to hand you money. If I'm running Sage Software, Peachtree's parent, I'm finding a new person in charge of this.
So sorry, Peachtree. I tried to upgrade, honest. And hopefully I'll be more careful entering data into your software than you seem to be with the emails that promote it.

The majority of plants are lovely, friendly additions to your garden. All fluffy, colourful and pretty. Even sweet smelling.
Others are laced with danger. A little bit of research into potential newcomers, and existing incumbents, may reveal a darker side lurking in your beds, borders and containers.

Everyone likes the idea of a bit of GIY (grow it yourself) but some are put off by lack of space. And a shortage of time. After all, allotment waiting lists can be long and a dedicated two days a week to keeping a plot ship-shape unfeasible. Never fear - if you have a fence panel you can be a top GIY-er. Honest.
A sturdy fence panel is the perfect support for runner beans. Planted in the ground or into large pots, plants will scramble and twirl in and out of slats and sections of a fence panel. Same thing goes for climbing French beans. Oh, and cucumbers, pumpkins and indeed anything that either climbs or usually flops on the floor.

This Week In 1985: July 21, 1985
You can probably count the instrumental hit singles of the '80s on the fingers of one hand. Maybe two. And songs released in 1985 would make up a good chunk of those, with easily the most famous instrumental single of that year debuting on the ARIA chart this week in 1985.
Like the two other big instrumental tracks from 1985, the song in question was taken from a movie - a film that had already spawned two major hit singles.
Another song from a film was at number 1 this week in 1985. "Into The Groove" from Desperately Seeking Susan - along with non-soundtrack release "Angel" - held down the top spot for a fourth and final week.
Off The Chart
Number 99 "So In Love" by Orchestral Manouevres In The Dark
Peak: number 56
This lead single from the Crush album didn't add to OMD's tally of two ARIA top 50 hits (1980's "Enola Gay" and "Locomotion" from 1984) - but the synthpop duo would have a much better 1986.
Number 97 "Thinking Man" by Joan Armatrading
Peak: number 97
Like "Temptation", this second single from Secret Secrets missed the top 50 - and a video for the song has finally been put up on YouTube.
Number 96 "Remember I Love You" by Jim Diamond
Peak: number 96
His last single, "I Should Have Known Better", peaked right at the other end of the chart, but this follow-up barely grazed the top 100 despite being another syrupy ballad co-written with Graham Lyle.
Number 90 "Honey B" by Flying Fonzarellis
Peak: number 72
Some true blue Aussie pub music with this first of two minor top 100 appearances from the short-lived Perth band who still maintain an active website where you can download "Honey B".
Number 88 "Shall We Go" by Dropbears
Peak: number 61
Another local band- this time from Sydney - that never cracked the top 50 but placed two singles inside the top 100 during 1985.
Number 64 "I Write The News" by Beargarden
Peak: number 56
Down to Melbourne now for the only top 100 charting single from tumultuous synthpop band Beargarden, who were the first signing to the Australian arm of Virgin Records.
New Entries
Number 50 "Baby Come And Get It" by The Pointer Sisters
Peak: number 29
They'd become known for fun songs like "I'm So Excited", "Jump (For My Love)" and "Neutron Dance", but Anita, June and Ruth Pointer got all moody and sexy with this final single from the Break Out album. With their best (matching) party frocks on and their most sultry stares at the ready, the trio did well to squeeze another top 30 hit out of the album - but they'd be back up towards the top of the chart when they moved on to their next LP.
Number 48 "All My Love" by Renée Geyer
Peak: number 28
I've always thought RenéeGeyer must have been more successful than it turns out she actually was on the charts - after all, she was inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame in 2005 (only the second female pop singer to achieve that honour at that stage).
And while there's no denying Renée's vocal talent, her only single to reach the top 10 was 1981's "Say I Love You" and this first release from her new record deal with WEA was only her fourth top 30 hit in a recording career dating back to 1974.
As well as changing labels in the mid-'80s, Renée also switched countries, leaving Australia to base herself in Los Angeles and try to crack America - a move that would ultimately prove unsuccessful. Her absence didn't do her any favours locally, with album Sing To Me only just making the top 40 and no further top 50 singles chart action.
Number 39 "Axel F" by Harold Faltermeyer
Peak: number 6
After Patti LaBelle let the side down with her Beverly Hills Cop single "New Attitude" missing the top 50, order was restored when the film's instrumental theme became the latest top 10 hit from the soundtrack (following "The Heat Is On" and "Neutron Dance").
Performed by German artist Harold Faltermeyer (who also composed the movie's score), "Axel F" got its name from Eddie Murphy's character, Axel Foley, and became one of the most successful instrumental releases of all time, reaching number 3 in the US and number 2 in the UK.
Of course, these days its reputation has been tarnished thanks to that godawful ringtone-inspired rendition by Crazy Frog, which, despite being a complete travesty, ended up as the fourth highest-selling single of 2005 in Australia.
As for classically trained Harold, despite also working on the soundtracks to subsequent box office smashes Fletch and Top Gun, and being an in-demand producer away from movies, "Axel F" would end up being his only singles chart success.
Number 37 "Heaven" by Bryan Adams
Peak: number 12
Here's another song that received a new lease of life in the '00s thanks to a dance remake, but at least DJ Sammy's cover of "Heaven" was perfectly enjoyable in its own right. In 1985, the power ballad original was the song that really put Bryan Adams on the world stage - becoming the Canadian singer's biggest hit to date in Australia and his first US chart-topper. Interestingly, "Heaven" had also started out on a movie soundtrack - featuring in 1983 Razzie Award-winning dance film A Night In Heaven (along with the original version of Animotion's "Obsession"). The following year, the song turned up on Bryan's fourth album, Reckless, before finally being issued as its third single in 1985.
Number 33 "Lead The Way" by I'm Talking
Peak: number 25
They'd hit the top 10 on their first attempt, but I'm Talking didn't have as much luck with this follow-up to "Trust Me". I don't even recall "Lead The Way" from the time and, since it wasn't included on I'm Talking's eventual debut album, I didn't come across it until the last few years when I downloaded it on iTunes. ("Trust Me" also wasn't on Bear Witness, but it did feature on Kate Ceberano's 1999 greatest hits album - and had made a bigger impression originally.) Fairly similar in feel to their debut release, "Lead The Way" maintained the band's pop/funk sound - and its relatively disappointing chart performance may well have influenced the decision to go in a completely different direction next time around.
Number 19 "Out Of Mind Out Of Sight" by Models
Peak: number 1
Next up, the band for whom Kate Ceberano and Zan Abeyratne from I'm Talking routinely performed backing vocals (with both groups touring Australia together in July 1985). Models had almost topped the chart with previous single "Barbados" but were unable to overcome the might of "We Are The World" but ironically, it may well have been the band's appearance at the Oz For Africa concert which contributed to the rapid ascent to the top of "Out Of Mind Out Of Sight", which they performed at the gig.
The title track of their fourth album, the future number 1 hit was as energetic as "Barbados" had been laidback - with its driving beat and use of horns reminiscent of recent chart-topper "Would I Lie To You". The song became Models' first and only US hit, reaching number 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 - and it was easily their biggest and best known single in Australia.
Listen to this week's new entries on my Spotify playlist of all the top 50 hits from 1985:
Next week: the debut of my favourite of the many singles Phil Collins released in 1985, a song that would provide the hook for a massive dance hit in 12 years' time and the original version of a track that would be covered by one of John Farnham's backing singers in 1992.
