odds and ends from the sidebar

Highlighting reports that at least 40 Iraqi women have been executed for" personal immorality," Mr Cable, the British Liberal Democratic leader, asked Gordon Brown if 173 British troops had died to transfer power from the "fascist regime of Saddam Hussein to the terror of the fascist militia that run the streets of Basra". These women had "been unfaithful to their husbands" or had sex while not married. This happened in the "DEMOCRACY" of IRAQ, the puppet "government" under American (and British) occupation. If the same standard was applied in the U.K. or the U.S.A. more than half the adult female population would be executed. What exactly is the real reason for the illegal occupation of Iraq? Is it just three letters O I L? Big Business, which gets huge profits from wars, sure want to keep it going. News has arrived that Gordon Brown the successor of the nasty Tony Blair visited British troops in Afghanistan saying "they are doing a good job and that they are going to stay there to fight the Taliban indefinitely." Since the Taliban with their faults were a darned sight better than the bloody Northern Coalition warlords, and actually stopped production of opium and heroin (since going strong under the Americans) and which America and the other "willing allies" are backing, can any person of conscience have any meaningful input in British "democracy'. The great majority of citizens want British troops OUT of Afghanistan while British leaders, Labour or Conservative want them IN. The whole thing is disgusting. Gordon Brown should be sewn up in a haggis and thrown into Loch Ness as a Christmas gift for Nessy. A nineteenth century wit once said: "Democracy is useful, because it gives the masses the necessary illusion that they have some say in running the country." William Pickton's lawyer take note: His defense should have been that he was only following the same procedures as in Iraq. "The forty women he is alleged to have killed were all alleged prostitues and druggies." Perhaps the authorities could lease him out to Halliburton, whose employees can rape even a fellow American female employee and get away with it What they do to female Iraqis, even children, under the umbrella of U.S. protection, you can only imagine, (but I can fill you in on info if you email me.) Willy Pickton, the pig- farmer-mass-murderer, could work quite well with the murderers there. He might even introduce his specialty of grinding up the victims and turning them into mincemeat and then selling it to the public. (It is alleged a lot of sausage meat was sent over the border to the united States. Even sold to McDonald's.Didn't someone report finding a finger in his hamburger?) (Ric)

Hi there!

Don't mind me. I've just got stuck in hyperspace and I can't seem to get out again. I was trying a program to change human body cells into digital machine language and suddenly I found myself in computer data. I can still think but i have no feeling except for anxiety. Come on hackers. How do I get out again?

COMMENT: Serves you right for messing about with stuff you don't understand. Anyway, try this program.It will change your cellular structure to geometric proportions, but first you are supposed to be within a Tesla coil. How that can be managed when you are in a computer program, I am not sure, sorry. A.G. http://www.csd.uwo.ca/~morey/CogEng/AK.html

The Australian Aboriginal peoples survived for more than forty thousand years, while European newcomers have only been here several hundred years. Our civilization with pollution, global warming and intensive energy use is endangering our way of life. Maybe we should learn from the aboriginal lifestyle not to be so greedy for things.

mid-life crisis

this joke came in my email. After being married for 49 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, 'Honey, 49 years ago we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 20-year-old gal. Now I have a $500, 000.00 home, a $45,000.00 car, nice big bed and plasma screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 69-year-old woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things.'

My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 20-year-old gal, and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.

Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve your mid-life crises.

Bush Lies.

Now that the mainstream media is saying what I and thousands of anti -Iraq/Afghanistan war commentators have been saying for years, I can now shut up about Bush. The last thing I will warn is that Bush and Cheney( willfully guilty though they are,) are still just a few of the puppets set up by the shadowy groups of manipulators behind them. Thus, Bush will go down and maybe evil Cheney also, but the insidious movement to subvert democracy and use world tensions for profit will go on. The players on the stage may change but the play will go on, to the ultimate detriment of all humanity.(Ric)

************************************************************************************ North Korea has resumed public executions, among them a factory chief accused of making international calls. He was shot at a stadium before 150,000 spectators. Public executions had declined since 2000 amid international criticism, but have been increasingly targeting officials accused of drug trafficking, embezzlement and other crimes against the state, as decreed by the country's iron-fisted ruler KIm Jong 11.

Why Britain Does not have a Republic.

*Listen to "Trooping of the Colour." http://www.trooping-the-colour.co.uk/trooping/trooping.htm

Massed Bands of the Foot Guards,

There are millions of citizens in Democratic Republics who wonder why Britain still has such anachronisms as the House of Lords and the Royal Family. Well the house of Lords is a great place for all these old codgers and Dames of the order of this or that and Lords and Earls and a Marquis or two to get together like one big club. They do bit of pondering about questions whether there should be a partial lifting of the ban on fox-hunting, whether taxes should go up or down, how much to charge the public to explore part of their castles and estates and a place to sleep off the excesses of scotch whisky after luncheon. The Royal Family would be well worth keeping even just because of its comedy value. It is like a continuing serial of higher Upstairs, Downstairs with a touch of Dallas and a pinch of the Sopranos. After all, it only costs the British Public about 300,000,000 pounds a year, which is about five quid each person in the United Kingdom. It brings in that much from tourism for sure....and best of all it makes Americans envious, because even though they love their Republic, most of them would like their own Royal Family too. Well, if the United States ever made a serious offer to take over the Royal Family and maybe buy Kensington Palace and ship it brick by brick to some place like Daytona Beach,Florida, for them to live in, then I am sure the offer would be seriously considered by the British people. Then the tourists would come to the U.S.A. in droves to see Prince Charles and Camilla paddling in the shallows. http://lawarradelosmundos.blogspot.com/

Our Beloved Royals. I will not say a word against them. As a matter of fact if I tried, this blog would be deleted (as has happened before.) So I will just say nice things, such as Prince Charles is a very handsome man in his own way, extremely smart in some fields someone once said,, never says the wrong thing, unless he intends to, and has an extraordinary personal taste in women. He does not fall off his polo mount too often and and can prance around the polo field with the best of them. Good on you Charles! We are all looking forward to an interesting era (as the Chinese say) when you finally make it to the throne. I am sure some people will actually cheer when that happens.

Australian Federal Elections.

Dad and Dave are Long Gone but Kevin Rudd is On Our Selection.

Yes they're in by a big margin!

Kevin Rudd on a visit to Melbourne in October 2007

Kevin Rudd on a visit to Melbourne. He mentioned that contrary to what he was told, Melbourne's water was almost fit enough to drink. He has a striking resemblance to his cousin Mabel and his granddad and Mum at Snake Gully. Kevin has promised if he is prime minister, he will include Snake Gully on the Flying Doctor run, and allot money to eradicate the mob of dingoes which live on the town dump.

Labour's in. One of Steele Rudd's clan will be in the driver's seat. Let's hope he remembers his long dead granddad and Mum and cousins Dave and Mabel and all the rest of his rels down at Snake Gully. You know there needs to be some federal money for restoring the old pub "Bushranger's Arms" and School of Arts. There's been a steam train stuck at the station for the last forty years and the conductor and driver haven't been paid since the line was discontinued through Woop Woop on to Wallaby Plains. Yes the Labour Party could do a thing or two out Snake Gully and Goanna Creek way.

"I'm not surprised Kevin is P.M., mum. I made it to parliament in1940." "And I got elected, dad, as Snake Gully delegate of the Country Women's Association and got to see Sydney for the first time. It's in the family. ******************************************************** Her Grace Dame Edna Everage Well Darlings,I've got to have my say. Labour is in. Which reminds me of the time I went into Labour. I was twenty at the time and had only just come out of the closet. I was on my way to Melbourne Maternity Hospital having these dreadful pains., like I wanted to go badly but couldn't, you know. So in the examination room the doctors told me I didn't have the right equipment and it was probably something I ate. I was ever so disappointed. *********************************************************************************************

Fascist Country? Free Speech? She"s sweet Mate!

New luxurious accommodation for asylum seekers, dissidents, Labour Party members, journalists and people John Howard just doesn't bloody like.Now Howard is out but the Labour Government have not yet made an announcement that these detention camps will be dismantled. In 1947 the then Labour Minister for Immigration, Hon Arthur Caldwell when asked to let a certain Chinese come to Australia to rejoin his wife said "Two Wongs don't make a White" There has always been a racist attitude in the Labour Party, Let us hope that the government will let these Afghan and other families still in detention be released in order to become dinky die Aussies.

"Free Speech? Civil Rights? Illegal Detention? Christ mate, I just want to be left alone to drink me flaming beer! Leave all that shit for the politicians to handle. John Howard knows what he's doing. He's trying to keep out the dagoes, wops and slant-eyes. What do I care what buggers he locks up, as long as it aint a real Aussie, like me." There is a country where a journalist can get five years in jail for reporting his government has arrested an individual, and kept the individual incommunicado. Which country? Well guess. How about the Congo, or Pakistan or maybe Burma.? Wrong. How about China or Russia then? Wrong! Answer: AUSTRALIA, the land of the sheep-like people who do everything the government tells them to do. In Australia, there is no Bill of Rights and it looks like Habeus Corpus the fundamental British law that was wrested from King John long ago, is gone too. The Aussies could not care less as long as there are sports, beer, bitches and beaches. Well maybe that criticism is too harsh. Anyway let's see if they keep the same government that is whittling away democracy bit by bit or boot them out in a month's time. Wake up Aussies! Update: Howard's out on his ear. Let's see if Rudd changes the draconian law.

(from website below)

Considering the current total U.S. debt stands at $8.162 trillion dollars, once the official debt ceiling ($8.184 trillion) is reached, the U.S. government’s credit abroad (its borrowing power) is gone. Those countries (mainly China) who presently keep America afloat by holding U.S. Treasury Notes, will most likely no longer continue doing so.

Some followers of Laruche recently brought the immiment collapse of the U.S. economic and financial system to my attention..

This may happen, but food prices in supermarkets seem to be stable and there are all kinds of goods and services available. Banks seem to be operating all right. Perhaps they have not heard yet that there is a collapse looming. Maybe it would be a good idea not to tell anyone. Then we could muddle on as usual.

********************************************************* Cancer. It was sad to read in the Guardian Unlimited this morning 30/10/2007, that a popular Guardian writer Dina Rabinovich died yesterday from breast cancer. One wonders at the causes that can down a 44 year old women of great intellectual strength and popularity. It does not mention if she smoked. I have observed that there appears to be many cancers occurring in people, who have deadlines to meet and have many things to do. That is to say, they cannot just switch off and relax for a few days, when they want. Telephones and more particularly cell-phones and email, keep one constantly attached to the job. This can build up tension and affect sleep and your health. I read that everyone has cancer, (adults over a certain age anyway) and that almost all of these small cancers are killed by the body's defenses. Perhaps stress and lack of sleep are factors in cancers getting out of control. There are, of course, other factors such as too- tight bras, whether the breasts are used sufficiently for their natural function by babies, smoking, drinking alcohol and the environment lived in. Then again it might be genetic tendency or just plain bad luck, (the factor there is no pill for.) When I was seventeen and contemplating journalism as a career, I had to start at the bottom, employed on Consolidated press Sydney as a copy boy. My important duties was taking copy around the various departments and running other messages. I did this willingly, though the pay was minimal, as there was a probability of a cadetship coming up. What made me change my mind was the polluted air throughout the building, coming mostly from almost every worker from the editor down. Everyone seemed to smoke incessantly and I found I was allergic to tobacco smoke. I gave up my dream of being a journalist and as a result I am cancer-free (touch wood) at seventy five. Really i can't be sure of this but i am not going to a doctor to be examined. Surely he will find a lot of things wrong with me that I do not know I have....and don't want to know. (Ric)

Arms Industry, Canada"s dirty secrets.

_____________________________________________

Make love (lots) not War. I had vaguely known about it, but the news this morning (29/10/07) that Canada is one of the top armament suppliers in the world was a depressing shock to me. On the one hand we have the media and politicians talking forever about "peace" and Canada's role as a "peacekeeper" in the trouble spots in the world and then the dirty secret that big business and the government is profiting largely from war. It should be no surprise really. Big Business and the media have been pushing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and Canada's participation in both wars. Yes, even in Iraq Canada gives much military and naval and communications support to the U.S. forces. After all the two countries' military machines are integrated. The Canadian government for the last four years, despite the law, has not made public any information about who Canadian industry supplies for military hardware and supplies. As for supplies to the U.S.A., Canada is not obliged to make that public knowledge ever (and it doesn't.)

winnings

http://australianscreen.com.au/titles/australia-today-customs-office/clip2/ When I was twelve I was buying one pound of chuck steak and one shilling's worth of dog-meat from Stapleton's the butchers on the Princes Highway at Sutherland township. I overheard Bluey (he was red-haired) Stapleton giving a tip for the Saturday races at Randwick. I ran home and then saw a schoolfriend who knew how to put on a starting price (illegal) bet at the local fruiterers who was a S.P. bookie on the side. Both of us went to the bookie and I placed a bet to win (because Bluey had said it was a sure thing) on the particular horse. I did not tell my dad, who was an avid punter, regularly losing his bets, though he had a "system" that according to him was going to start a winning streak pretty soon. Next Saturday afternoon, I hung around the radio which dad was listening to in the lounge-room, though the place was generally very smoky from full strength Capstan cigarettes. Of course I knew my horse would win and it did at twenty to one and for a few weeks I had lots of pocket money. So since I won once, naturally I could do it again with the infallable tips from my tipster. On my next errand to the butcher, I asked him point blank for a tip and I got one, a sure thing. Since it was a winner and I wanted to increase my profit (I had a ten- speed bike in mind) I increased my bet. Still, I was cautious and kept most of the winnings from the week before. You know the end of the story. The horse came next to last. Suitably impressed and subdued, I vowed I would never bet again in my life, and I have not, so all in all I am ahead from gambling, and never got the bug for slot machines or on-line gaming, Las Vegas or even an office sweep. I have been pleasantly surprised recently to experience winning lotteries and diverse prizes in different parts of the world and not even having to buy a ticket. Kind, unknown people have been buying tickets for me apparently and I seem to be extraordinarily lucky. I believe I have won the National Uganda Lottery three times already, and I got second prize in the Irish Sweepstakes. There have been sundry others also. The only problem seems to be the devilish export taxes on these vast sums of money. It seems I must send just a thousand of two so the money may be transferred. I brought up this great opportunity in conferring at the breakfast table with my son. He barely considered it. (For some strange reason the courts have given him some sort of legal right over my my spending.) All he said was "You silly old fool. Go on like that and I'll have you in a nursing home next month!" Having read "Over the Cuckoo's Nest" again recently, I have been silent about the money ever since....after all, at my age what could I do with a million dollars or two?

Also Greenpeace Australia, do not interfere with my website without permission, though I found the inclusion of Howard's photo kind of humorous.Contact me personallly and maybe we can get along.)

We spent considerable time protesting France's atomic tests in the Pacific. I recall a sum of money was sent to us from the States and by a vote we would not accept it because we did not know who sent it and we suspected the C.I.A. I said " Accept the bloody money and put it to good use." I was voted down. I recall our group came to an ignominious, fizzling end when our secretary David Duffy was caught stealing from our coffers. What happened with our small organization can happen more drastically, as it grows larger, then huge and the rank and file are separated from the administration. I sure hope this has not happened with Greenpeace. (Ric w) ******************************************************* Just read on "Ninglun's" website that he went to Sutherland Primary. So did I. I was there from five years old until about twelve. I started in the Kindergarten with Miss Crop. I remember Miss O'Reilly, Miss Bevan the headmistress and some other teachers. I can't remember the names only faces.. I remember "Splinter Woods" in primary school, though I did not have his class. He was supposed to have had a back injury in the First World War and always acted stiff and upright. We kids said the Germans had shoved a ramrod up his arse. My dad said he had been his teacher also, so he must have been there a long time since my dad was 22 years older than me.. I recall of the Intermediate High School the faces of the teachers but not the names. I recall we had a student's strike there once because Wednesday afternoon sports was suspended and it got in the papers to the embarrassment of our Principal, Mr Hunt.. sports was on again the next Wednesday. I recall the visit of Clive Evatt, Minister of Education. He was the younger brother of Dr Evatt, Minister of Foreign Affairs in the federal government and later Australia's delegate to The U.N. Well Clive Evatt shook the hands of several prefects who were a kind of welcoming committee at the entrance. I was one of them.(Ric) ************************************************** It is not my business "Ninglun" (I wish you would change that name.

Well they don't have hollow tree like the old red-gums of Australia here in Canada and I can't climb too well anymore (I am 236 lbs) and I respect the attitude of the oldest man in the world in Japan who said several weeks ago that he wants to live indefinitely. That is stretching it a bit in my case, but while I can walk around and bathe myself and drive the car (why does everyone else have to drive so fast?) I want to stay in touch with living humanity and even with the crows who seem to be in control of the avian kingdom here in Vancouver and the squirrel which raids my trashcan and the coyotes who run through the area nightly looking for small dogs and cats,(there are notices on poles "Have you seen a white Persian pussy, answers to Kittykat, last seen Tuesday night. We miss you Kittykat?") and the racoon with her three young ones, scratching my door at night for handouts. Even though my relatives don't give a fig about me (I was pretty bad in my life) I still have some communication with the animals, who just think I am a nice guy. Dogs wave their tails and come over for a pat and even cats pause to look at me, wondering who is this stupid human trying to meow. Yes life is precious. I found that out in 1982 when my motorbike hit a car and in Brisbane Hospital. It was touch and go....On my recovery every day has been a bonus. I saw some years ago, a Japanese film about how they took their old parent up a sacred mountain, gave food and water for a few days and left the old person to die, when they became a burden. That was long ago, I presume. It was a gripping movie. I was talking to a worker in a nursing home yesterday. (She does the clothes washing only) She related how "nurses" and attendants tie patients to chairs by the wrists and how the old people are force- fed medications. This is Canada 2007!( see news results about nursing homes in Victoria B.C. this week.) Maybe the Japanese way was more humane. (Ric)

gold robbery

Finally, on 8 July 1885 Edmund O'Keefe and John Rice were arrested and charged with having feloniously assaulted and robbed Mr. Cecil Stackhouse of two keys. The trial commenced in Launceston on 27 August with the two prisoners, Barrett and Ward, having been persuaded to give evidence in return for a reduction in the length of their prison sentences. According to them the robbery had been planned with the two Collins, John Ritchie Snr and O'Keefe. They robbed the bank. O'Keefe and Rice had guarded Stackhouse. Collins's part was to get rid of the bank notes through his business. Rice had little to do with the affair. John Ritchie's part had been to let them know which night Stackhouse would be visiting him.

In 2005, Makybe Diva made history by being the first horse to win the Melbourne Cup three times, winning consecutive races in 2003, 2004 and 2005. Jockey Glen Boss rode Makybe Diva in all three of her Melbourne Cup wins.

Makybe Diva's trainer, Lee Freedman, says the mare has proved herself to be 'one of the all-time greats ... I don't think the country has seen a better horse in the past 30 or 40 years'. As well as the three Melbourne Cup wins, Makybe Diva won a Sydney Cup, an Australian Cup and the BMW at Rosehill Gardens in Sydney.

In July 2006, Makybe Diva was inducted into the Australian Racing Museum and Hall of Fame. In October 2006, a bronze statue of Makybe Diva was unveiled in the South Australian city of Port Lincoln, the home town of her owner Tony Santic.

Williams.

The Brythonic Celtic language of Wales, known by natives as Cymraeg, featured many highly inflected sounds that could not be properly captured by the English language. Spelling variations were, however, also carried out according to an individual's design: a branch loyalty within the family, a religious adherence, or even patriotic affiliations were all indicated by the particular variation of one's name. The spelling variations of the name Williams have included Williams, Quilliams, Guilliam, Guilliams and others. First found in Breconshire and Monmouthshire on the English/ Welsh border, where the Williams family was seated from very ancient times.

Australian National Toilet Map.

******************************************************* man in urgent search of a washroom

A portable urinal in the Netherlands where you can let it all hang out. The female outdoor urinal is the squatting kind. The whole idea was thought up by the Dutch Tourist Authority which decided it would stop the locals (men and women) from finding a convenient tree or wall). Also it would draw in more tourist with cameras who could photograph each other and the locals using the handy urinals.

Not very hygenic! A dreadful pub(l)ic spectacle!The government decided to install handy outdoor urinals for men and women.No cameras allowed, please. Additionally it would give employment to a crew of city workers who would be on hand to sluice down the facilities with bucket and broom when each user had finished. This idea has been proposed to be introduced to Australia. In an effort to save plants and trees in parks which die from uric acid, and in order to educate Australians as to where they should do it, the Australian government has issued an Australian National Toilet Map.(online) http://www.toiletmap.gov.au/ If you are unsure where to go in your area you can send an email and presumably the info will get back to you. You may also telephone the government department, but there may be anywhere up to an hour waiting. If you have not already had an accident, then you may consult the map online, take a taxi or walk hurriedly to the designated spot and you will find relief (if it is not already in use.) It is advisable to take a supply of toilet paper with you. It has been suggested that the government should also have an internet map available for your area, so you would be able to find out where the nearest internet access is. For the computer illiterate it is suggested that you ask a passer-by "Where's the nearest dunny, mate?"

40 Women Executed for acting like the Girl Next Door.

Please give a lift to the airport. I'll make it worth your while. Highlighting reports that at least 40 Iraqi women have been executed for" personal immorality," Mr Cable, the British Liberal Democratic leader, asked Gordon Brown if 173 British troops had died to transfer power from the "fascist regime of Saddam Hussein to the terror of the fascist militia that run the streets of Basra". These women had "been unfaithful to their husbands" or had sex while not married. This happened in the "DEMOCRACY" of IRAQ, the puppet "government" under American (and British) occupation. If the same standard was applied in the U.K. or the U.S.A. more than half the adult female population would be executed. What exactly is the real reason for the illegal occupation of Iraq? Is it just three letters O I L? Big Business, which gets huge profits from wars, sure want to keep it going. News has arrived that Gordon Brown the successor of the nasty Tony Blair visited British troops in Afghanistan saying "they are doing a good job and that they are going to stay there to fight the Taliban indefinitely." Since the Taliban with their faults were a darned sight better than the bloody Northern Coalition warlords, and actually stopped production of opium and heroin (since going strong under the Americans) and which America and the other "willing allies" are backing, can any person of conscience have any meaningful input in British "democracy'. The great majority of citizens want British troops OUT of Afghanistan while British leaders, Labour or Conservative want them IN. The whole thing is disgusting. Gordon Brown should be sewn up in a haggis and thrown into Loch Ness as a Christmas gift for Nessy. A nineteenth century wit once said: "Democracy is useful, because it gives the masses the necessary illusion that they have some say in running the country." William Pickton's lawyer take note: His defense should have been that he was only following the same procedures as in Iraq. "The forty women he is alleged to have killed were all alleged prostitues and druggies." Perhaps the authorities could lease him out to Halliburton, whose employees can rape even a fellow American female employee and get away with it What they do to female Iraqis, even children, under the umbrella of U.S. protection, you can only imagine, (but I can fill you in on info if you email me.) Willy Pickton, the pig- farmer-mass-murderer, could work quite well with the murderers there. He might even introduce his specialty of grinding up the victims and turning them into mincemeat and then selling it to the public. (It is alleged a lot of sausage meat was sent over the border to the united States. Even sold to McDonald's.Didn't someone report finding a finger in his hamburger?) (Ric)

"Long before it's in the papers"

RETURN TO THE WORLD SCIENCE HOME PAGE
Move elephants into Australia, scientist proposes

and World Science staff
Australia may need an infusion of elephants and other large mammals to solve its persistent ecological and wildfire problems, a scientist proposes.

Ecologist David Bowman of the University of Tasmania in Australia cites out-of-control fires and burgeoning feral-animal populations as quandaries afflicting the Land Down Under. Both could be solved by introducing large mammals, as well as paying aboriginal hunters to control the feral animals and restore the old practice of patch burning, he argues. Patch burning is a form of controlled burning intended to clean out and renew biological resources.

“I realize that there are major risks associated with what I am proposing,” as any tinkering with the environment can lead to unplanned consequences, said Bowman. “But the usual approaches to managing these issues aren’t working.”

Bowman describes his idea in this week’s issue of the research journalNature.

Feb. 7 will mark the three-year anniversary of “Black Saturday,” when nearly 200 people died in a massive firestorm in southern Australia. Fires are a constant concern in the continent, said Bowman, but so are its thriving populations of feral pigs, camels, horses and cattle, among others.

Bowman proposes to manage Australia’s troubled ecosystem by introducing beasts such as elephants, rhinoceros and even Komodo dragons. These would help consume flammable grasses and control feral-animal populations, he argues.

The largest living land mammal native to Australia is the red kangaroo, which as an adult weighs about as much as an average man. Larger mammals used to roam the continent—such as a hippo-sized marsupial related to the wombat and called diprotodon, from the Great Ice Age—but they are no more.

The deliberate introduction by humans of populations of oversized, non-native mammals to a new continent would be unprecedented in modern times. One group, though, has proposed introducing large African mammals into the Great Plains of the United States, for somewhat different reasons than those motivating Bowman.

On 25th April 2010 Stephen Hawking, leading academic and cosmologist, told the Sunday Times: “We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet. I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach.” He also points out that making contact with aliens could be very risky, stating: “If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn’t turn out very well for the Native Americans.”

curious street title

Gropecunt Lane

Gropecunt Lane was a name used in Oxford, London and other Englishtowns and cities in the Middle Ages for streets where prostitutes conducted their business. The name derives from cunt, the Middle English term forfemale genitalia, and the act of groping. There was also a Gropecunt Lane inDublin, Ireland near where the Savoy Cinema is now. Later sensibilities changed many names of streets bearing this name to more polite variations.

In London, the street that was Gropecunt Lane was near the present-day site of the Barbican Centre in the City of London. The street was called Grub Street in the 18th century, but renamed Milton Street in 1830 . Another street with a similar history in Southwark is Horselydown Lane ("whores lie down"), which is just to the south of Tower Bridge, and was also the site of the famousAnchor Brewhouse.

We come in Third with Williams.

Williams

is a patronymic form of the name William that originated in medieval England^[2] and later came to be extremely popular in Wales. The meaning is derived from son or descendant of Guillemin, the French form of William. Derived from an Old French given name with Germanicelements; will = desire, will; and helm = helmet, protection.^[3] It is the second most common surname in Wales and the third most common surname in the whole of the United Kingdom, the third most common in the United States of America and Australia and the fifth most common inNew Zealand.^[4]

Old Harry Williams was asked how was it that the long list of Williams lead by far those of Nash over the last couple of hundred years.

"Well, let's see.Them Nashes they was more posh and they kept the family bible, so we lot had nothing to read at night.There was no T.V. in them days, and we didn't want to waste candles, so we used to all jump in bed together and make more Williams's."

Australia. The first fleet sailed from England in 1787 carrying marine William Nash and his common law wife Maria Haynes. They were the progenitors of an extensive Nash family in Australia. Another early settler was Andrew Nash. He had acquired the Woolpack Inn in Parramatta in 1821 and became well-known for the prowess of his racehorses. A later settler from Wiltshire was James Nash. He discovered gold along the Mary river in Queenland and helped precipitate the second Australian gold rush.

There were also Nash convicts in Australia. Some thrived; Robert Nash, transported on the Albemarle in 1791; John Nash on the Eleanor in 1831; and Michael Nash from Limerick, on the Rodney in 1851.

I met Michael (Tarzan) Fomenko(shown here at 81 years) son of a Russian Princess when I was 18 and he was twenty. He was a handsome young man. I was in love with his sister Nina Fomenko, who was gracious to me but held my ardour at arms' length. In later years I met her in North Queensland where she and her husband Brian Patrick Donnellan were cutting cane. They had no mattress to sleep on, so I bought them one. Nina was always beautiful.

Toonoom Falls
Situated in the heart of Royal National Park to the south of Sydney, Toonoum Falls is a pretty, 5 metre high waterfall alongside Sir Bertram Steven Drive not far from the Garie turnoff. The photo shows the falls in flood.
Location: Royal National Park.

In the fifties, I lived close to here in a rock shelter once used by Aborigines. I used to swim in this creek a little further down the hill. My family thought I was crazy and I probably was, but life here on the edge of the National Park was idyllic if you could bear the flies, mosquitoes, snakes and centipedes.. (Ric)

Eureka Stockade Animated flag (Australia)

*The Australian Lyre Bird is the world's best imitator; able to mimic the calls of 15 different species of birds in their locality and string the calls into a melody. Also been known to mimic the sound mobile phones.

*The echidna is such a unique animal that it is classified in a special class of mammals known asmonotremes, which it shares only with the platypus. The echidna lays eggs like a duck but suckles its young in a pouch like a kangaroo. For no apparent reason, it may decide to conserve energy by dropping its body temperature to 4 degrees and remain at that temperature from 4 to 120 days. Lab experiments have shown that the echidna is more intelligent that a cat and it has been seen using its spikes, feet and beaks to climb up crevices like a mountaineer edging up a rock chimney.

*Purple wallaby - The Purple-neck Rock Wallaby [Petrogale Purpureicollis], inhabits the Mt Isa region in Northwest Queensland. The Wallaby secretes a dye that transforms its face and neck into colours ranging from light pink to bright purple.

*The Fierce Snake or Inland Taipan has the most toxic venom of any snake. Maximum yield recorded (for one bite) is 110mg. That would probably be enough to kill over 100 people or 250,000 mice.

*The Wombat deposits square poos on logs, rocks and even upright sticks that it uses tomark its territory.

*A 10kg Tasmanian Devil is able to exert the same biting pressure as a 40kg dog. It can also eat almost a third of its body weight in a single feeding.

*Australia is the smallest, flattest, and driest inhabited continent in the world. It is the only country which is also a whole continent.

*Over 90% of Australia is dry, flat and arid. Almost three-quarters of the land cannot support agriculture in any form.

*A baby kangaroo at the time of its birth measures 2 centimetres.

birth of joey http://zzz262.multiply.com/video/item/1831

*Kangaroos need very little water to survive and are capable of going for months without drinking at all. When they do need water, they dig 'wells' for themselves; frequently going as deep as three or four feet. These 'kangaroo pits' are a common source of water for other animals living in the kangaroo's environment.

Kangaroo attacks dog, man. ^

*A kangaroo being chased by a dog may jump into a dam. If the dog gives chase, the kangaroo may turn towards the dog, then use its paws to push the dogs head underwater in order to drown it.

*Emus and kangaroos cannot walk backwards, and are on the Australian coat of arms for that reason.

*A monotreme is a animal that lays eggs and suckles its young. The world's only monotremes are the platypus and the echidna.

*The male platypus has a poisonous spine that can kill a dog and inflict immense pain on a human.

*When a specimen of the platypus was first sent to England, it was believed the Australians had played a joke by sewing the bill of a duck onto a rat.

*Box Jelly fish - The box jellyfish is considered the world's most venomous marine creature. The box jellyfish has killed more people in Australia than stonefish, sharks and crocodiles combined.

*The Sydney Funnelweb spider is considered the world's most deadly spider. It is the only spider that has killed people in less than 2 hours. Its fangs are powerful enough to bite through gloves and fingernails. The only animals without immunity to the funnelweb's venom are humans and monkeys.

*Lung fish - Queensland is home to lung fish, a living fossil from the Triassic period 350 million years ago.

Convicts

*It is estimated that by the time transportation ended in 1868, 40 per cent of Australia's English-speaking population were convicts.*A census taken in 1828 found that half the population of NSW were Convicts, and that former Convicts made up nearly half of the free population.

*In 2007, it was estimated that 22 per cent of living Australians had a convict ancestor.

*Convicts were not sent to Australia for serious crimes. Serious crimes, such as murder, rape, or impersonating an Egyptian were given the death sentence in England.

*Crimes punishable by transportation included recommending that politicians get paid, starting a union, stealing fish from a river or pond, embezzlement, receiving or buying stolen goods, setting fire to underwood, petty theft, or being suspected of supporting Irish terrorism.

* Alcohol- It has been reported that the first European settlers in Australia drank more alcohol per head of population than any other community in the history of mankind.

* Police force - Australia's first police force was a band of 12 of the most well behaved Convicts.

* Mass moonings - In 1832, 300 female Convicts at the Cascade Female Factory mooned the Governor of Tasmania during a chapel service. It was said that in a "rare moment of collusion with the Convict women, the ladies in the Governor's party could not control their laughter.

My little brother Brian Robert Williams is buried there in an unmarked grave. He was three years old in 1936 when he was run over by a red truck when I (4 years old) and he were crossing the Princes Highway Kirrawee.
I never recovered as I felt I was blamed for not looking after him when we were going across the road to buy some lollies. I am now 81 years old.
My grandmother Lucy Williams (Pike) was cremated there and the ashes are in an alcove in the wall near the crematorium. She was nineteen stone when she died.
Old grandfather Harry (Henry Inglis Williams) is also buried there. He was a tough old bugger but I loved him anyway. He was a descendant of William Nash who came here as a marine with the First Fleet 1788.
I want to be buried in this cemetery because I was a baby in a bush camp just below the cemetery gates in 1933. We got water from the cemetery tap at the corner of Ist Ave Loftus. However I am in Vancouver Canada and will be interred far from home. Cedric hector (Ric) Williams.

Sung by Chloë and Jason Roweth©Chloë and Jason Roweth 2013

- [play]

Oh, down at the catching pen an old shearer stands,
Grasping his shears in his long bony hands ;
Fixed is his gaze on a bare belled ewe,
Saying " If I can only get her, won't I make the ringer go."

Click goes his shears; click, click, click.
Wide are the blows, and his hand is moving quick,
The ringer looks round, for he lost it by a blow,
And he curses that old shearer with the bare belled ewe.

At the end of the board, in a cane bottomed chair,
The boss remains seated with his eyes everywhere ;
He marks well each fleece as it comes to the screen,
And he watches where it comes from if not taken off clean.

The "colonial experience" is there of course.
With his silver buckled leggings, he's just off his horse ;
With the air of a connoiseur he walks up the floor ;
And he whistles that sweet melody, "I am a perfect cure."

"So master new chum, you may now begin,
Muster number seven paddock, bring the sheep all in ;
Leave none behind you, whatever you do,
And then we'll say you'r fit to be a Jackeroo."

The tar boy is there, awaiting all demands,
With his black tarry stick, in his black tarry hands.
He sees an old ewe, with a cut upon the back,
He hears what he supposes is--" Tar here, Jack."

"Tar on the back, Jack; Tar, boy, tar."
Tar from the middle to both ends of the board.
Jack jumps around, for he has no time to sleep,
And tars the shearer's backs as well as the sheep.

So now the shearing's over, each man has got his cheque,
The hut is as dull as the dullest old wreck ;
Where was many a noise and bustle only a few hours before,
Now you can hear it plainly if a pin fall on the floor.

The shearers now are scattered many miles and far ;
Some in other sheds perhaps, singing out for "tar."
Down at the bar, there the old shearer stands,
Grasping his glass in his long bony hands.

Saying "Come on, landlord, come on, come !
I'm shouting for all hands, what's yours--mine's a rum ;"
He chucks down his cheque, which is collared in a crack,
And the landlord with a pen writes no mercy on the back !

His eyes they were fixed on a green painted keg,
Saying " I will lower your contents, before I move a peg."
His eyes are on the keg, and are now lowering fast ;
He works hard, he dies hard, and goes to heaven at last.

Eynesbury, Nov. 20, 1891.

religions are myths.

http://www.religioustolerance.org/int_rel11.htm

"It appears to me (whether rightly or wrongly) that direct arguments against christianity and theism produce hardly any effect on the public; and freedom of thought is best promoted by the gradual illumination of men's minds which follows from the advance of science." [Darwin]

"If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities." [Voltaire]

"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism." [Einstein]

"Faith means not wanting to know what is true." [Nietzsche]

"I cannot believe in the immortality of the soul.... No, all this talk of an existence for us, as individuals, beyond the grave is wrong. It is born of our tenacity of life – our desire to go on living … our dread of coming to an end." [Edison]

"The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma." [Lincoln]

"Religion is a byproduct of fear. For much of human history, it may have been a necessary evil, but why was it more evil than necessary? Isn't killing people in the name of God a pretty good definition of insanity?" [Arthur C. Clarke]

"Religions are all alike – founded upon fables and mythologies." [Thomas Jefferson]

"Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile." [Kurt Vonnegut]

"Religion is based . . . mainly on fear . . . fear of the mysterious, fear of defeat, fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand in hand. . . . My own view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race." [Bertrand Russell]

idea for reproducing print on fabric

I've been having fun printing on fabric.
My friend, Sandrine, and I were experimenting with printing on fabric using the home printer (ink jet) and computer. It is easy to do. Just trim your selected fabric and some freezer paper (available at your local patchwork shop) to A4 size. Iron the freezer paper onto the back of the fabric (place the shiny side of the freezer paper onto the back of the fabric, and iron on the dull paper side), load it into the printer, then print. (Try printing your photo out on a piece of paper first before printing on the fabric). Peel off the paper and you are ready to use your own unique piece of fabric. Give it a press with an iron to set the ink. You can use the same piece of freezer paper over and over again.

I've embellished the photo with a little embroidery in the corners. Before embroidering, I ironed on some fabric stabiliser. When finished sewing the design, I placed the glass (that came with the frame) over the embroidered photo and traced around it. Then trimmed that fabric away. Next, I used some spray adhesive on the back of the fabric, and stuck it onto the glass

Also she omits any mention of Australian native admixture into at least one branch of the family and never mentions the role of Australian natives in the management of our early cattle and sheep runs.(Ric)http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-09-30/remote-cattle-drive/3204538

Ellen’s prisoner identification photograph, taken to show that she had all of her fingers. 1887.

1887 Ellen Thomson became the only woman legally hanged in Queensland. She was sentenced over the murder of her husband, William Thomson, 24 years her senior, after increasingly violent confrontations. She proclaimed her innocence but her young handsome English ex-marine lover, John Harrison, was also convicted for the same crime. They were hanged in Boggo Road jail, Brisbane, and buried there.

Ellen, 11 years of age and her sister Mary, 9, arrived in Australia on the 6th of April 1858 on board the ship "Joshua". The ship's manifest lists their widowed mother Mary Lynch as a native of County Cork, Ireland. They would join her sister residing in Goulburn, N.S.W.
During the Palmer River gold rush in the early 1870's, Ellen was known to be in Cooktown, widow of William Wood, and struggling to support her children.
Arriving in Port Douglas about 1878, Ellen commenced work as housekeeper to William Thomson who had selected a farm on the Mossman River. Ellen and Billy Thomson married in November of 1880 after the birth of a daughter, Helen.

By 1886 life was difficult. The marriage was strained, the children sent away.

The friendship of Ellen with a young marine deserter on the adjoining "Bonnie Doon" selection caused conflict.

That conflict would explode into murder and the execution of Ellen Thomson and John Harrison at Boggo Road Gaol, Brisbane on the 13th of June 1887.

On the eve of execution, Harrison confessed he alone shot and killed William Thomson in self-defence.

The admission came too late - the double execution proceeded!

The name of Ellen Thomson was written into history as the only woman ever hanged in Queensland

FAMILY MOSAIC.

Purity of race has never existed. People couple and produce children throughout the world from one group to another through history and prehistory.

Genetic selection is the norm and genes are forever trying new combinations. The most adept combinations survive.

From the time William Nash (who appears to have been English, coupled and finally married Maria Haynes, (apparently English) the family evolved genetically in a few generations. These combinations do not seem to have weakened the Williams/ Nash (plus other family names) family at all. In fact the tribe has survived, flourished.

Considering a small part of the family tree, the closest to me, the first generation was probably English but then Welsh made an appearance. Northern Irish arose. Soon the mystery of Aboriginal admixture is alleged to have arrived.

Some early photos show young women of distinct middle eastern appearance,( though this may have been the light). Jewish appeared in at least one other branch of the family. Also let us not forget the Scots influence.

More recently Greek, Filipino, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese have also arrived. There may have been more if one were to delve further. There was one near connection with South African mixed race, though no children came from it.

That is enough to show how a family can evolve in just a few generations..Ric Williams.

Already I have received several e-mails questioning my Chinese and Japanese inclusion.

It happens that my sons Richard's and John's mother's grandmother was part Japanese.

My son Brian's grandparent was part Chinese (It is said).

My daughter Nina's mother Aphroditi was Greek but also part Italian since her mother was a Di Tivoli, from the Count Di Tivoli. Aphroditi's father came from the island of Crete

that had once been Minoan.

Nina's half sister Kristi's father was of Turkish origin.

My son Brian's half sisters are half German. That is probably not all. Oh, yes, my sister Sue's children are half Greek whose father was Athenian.

My Aunt Ida (Bonnie O'Keefe) married a Filipino after she had married a Jewish butcher, Cyril Myers.

The Life, Times, and Legacy of Pete Seeger

Pete Seeger The following podcast is brought to you courtesy of A World of Possibilities and The Mainstream Media Project.

Legendary folksinger and social activist Pete Seeger is receiving long-delayed appreciation for his immense contribution to American music and culture. In this intimate conversation, Pete recalls it all through the prism of mellowed memory, his personal reflections on his life, times and his country’s future laced with the sounds of his now-quavering but still strong voice. Happy 91st birthday, Pete.

Guests:
Pete Seeger has become a highly visible and much beloved figure in American life. He has issued some one hundred records, written and collaborated on numerous radical songbooks, articles, and technical manuals on playing the banjo. Fifty years after the Popular Front, Seeger is one of the last links with the optimistic and expansive culture of Depression-era America.

Credits: Music in this program: open- “To Hear Your Banjo Play” Soundtrack from the motion picture “To Hear Your Banjo Play” via archive.org; “Guantalamera” Sony BMG Music Entertainment; “Waist Deep in The Big Muddy” Smithsonian Folkways Recordings; “Amazing Grace” Smithsonian Folkways Recordings; “Bring Them Home (If You Love Your Uncle Sam)” Appleseed Recordings; “Turn, Turn, Turn” Bruce Cockburn, Appleseed Recordings; “Where Have All The Flowers Gone” Dolores Keane, Tommy Sands & Vedran Smailovic, Appleseed Recordings; “Kisses Sweeter Than Wine” Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Appleseed Recordings; “Bells of Rhymney” Roger McGuinn

Pete Seeger besides having been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, has been active in the Environmental movement for decades. In the 1960′s, he helped build the Hudson River sloop, The Clearwater, which sails up and down New York’s Hudson River, teaching kids of all ages about the river’s ecosytem and history. In October, 2007, a movie about Pete’s life was released, calledThe Power of Song. No matter your opinion about Pete or the issues he championed, he is a truly American voice, and one worth listening to.

First Horse Racing in Australia.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll1nIHI-RQw

Wild horses in the outback.

[edit]Early race meetings and clubs

Royal Randwick Racecourse with Sydney skyline in background

Horseracing had become well established in and around Sydney by 1810. The first official race meeting was organised by officers of Governor Macquarie's visiting 73rd Regiment and held at Hyde Park, Sydney in October 1810. The Australian Jockey Club (AJC) held its meetings at Homebush from 1842 to 1859, before moving to Randwick in 1860. The AJC has its headquarters at Randwick where it plays a major role in the regulation of the sport. The Sydney Turf Club (STC) was formed in 1943 and holds races on the Rosehill Gardens track and at Canterbury. This club was the initiator of the world’s richest race for two-year-olds, the Golden Slipper Stakes.

In Victoria the first official races were held in March 1838 on a specially marked out course at Batman's Hill in Melbourne. The Victorian Racing Club (VRC) was formed from the amalgamation in 1864 of the Victoria Jockey Club and Victoria Turf Club.

Queensland’s first recorded race meeting was held at Cooper’s Plains in 1843. The major race club, the Queensland Turf Club (QTC), was formed in 1863, followed by the Brisbane Amateur Turf Club (BATC) in 1923.

South Australia’s first meeting was held at Adelaide in 1843. The principal race club, theSouth Australian Jockey Club (SAJC), was founded in 1856.

Organised racing was first held in Tasmania in 1814 at Newtown, near Hobart. The Tasmanian Turf Club (TTC) was formed in 1871, but the major club, the Tasmanian Racing Club (TRC), was not established until 1874.

Thoroughbred racing commenced in Western Australia in 1836. The Western Australian Turf Club (WATC) was established in 1852.^[8]

By 1883, 192 country clubs were registered to race under Australian Jockey Club rules.^[6]

In the Northern Territory, the Darwin Turf Club was established in May 1955.^[13]

History

[edit]Horses

An early importation to Australia was the Arabian stallion (Old) Hector, whose bloodlines are to be found in the pedigreesof some Australian Thoroughbreds.

The first horses that came to Australia arrived on the “Lady Penrhyn” with the First Fleet on 26 January 1788. It is thought that they consisted of one stallion, one colt, three mares and two fillies from Cape Town, South Africa.^[2] (Young) Rockingham was one of the first bloodhorses to be imported into Australia, c.1797.^[3] In 1802 the stallion, Northumberland, and an English mare were imported, followed shortly thereafter by Washington, a stallion from America. (Old) Hector, was an important Arabian horse that was imported to Australia c.1803 and whose bloodlines have survived in Australian Thoroughbred pedigrees. Northumberland and Hector were the two leading sires in Australia until 1820.^[4] These sires and a number of other Arabian stallions contributed to the breeding up of the bloodhorse population prior to 1825.^[5] Manto, imported in 1825, was the first General Stud Bookrecorded Thoroughbred mare known by name to arrive in Australia. Her family is still producing winners. In 1826 the Thoroughbred stallion Peter Fin, and mares Cutty Sark and Spaewife, were imported.^[6]

The first recorded public auction of bloodstock took place in 1805. After the 1830s more English bred horses were imported and racing, as more racing clubs were formed in the country areas of New South Wales.^[7]

bark paintings

A bark painting begins with the slash of a sharp axe. Artists make cuts in the trunks of eucalyptus trees, then strip away pieces of bark. They use a forked pole to climb up the tree.

All loose external bark is scraped off the piece and its surface is smoothed. Next, they heat the bark to

Sarah Williams (nee Nash) daughter of Maria Nash (nee Haynes) and William Nash Marine, who arrived at Sydney Cove on the FIRST FLEET 1788.

First generation born in Australia.

If her photo is absent use CHROME, (much better.)

John Williams was born in Brecknock, Wales in 1787. He joined the army while still in his teens. He deserted in 1806, was arrested and sentenced to 7 years transportation. John was among the 189 convicts who arrived in Sydney aboard the "Duke of Portland" on 27th July 1807.

In 1839, whilst living at Burra John Williams was granted a license for the squattage run of Head of Curry Creek in the Nimmitabel district. After some years at the Curry Creek Run, Williams moved to a new run known as The Gullies, later namedGrosses Plain at Ingebyra. He died of exposure after being caught in a blizzard on Grosses Plain, at 67 years of age.

John and Sarah Williams had a family of 13 and a considerable number of descendents remain in the Monaro area.

In 1880, when a Post Office was established in the Burra area it was called Williamsdale. This was to honour John Williamsas one of the first residents of the district.

The Williams name will be written into the history of Nimmitabel.

Alec Williams is best remembered for his many years in the Post Office at Nimmitabel. Alec knew the machinations of the postal service intricately and, coupled with his great command of figures, was a trusted and loyal employee for many years.

He also audited the accounts of most organisations in Nimmitabel and all could be assured that the books were true and correct. The "A.R. Williams" seal was accepted without question. Alec's wife Eileen was a delightful lady, loved by all who knew her. She would have been recognised as one of the best cooks in Nimmitabel.

Joffre Williams was a gentle giant, a tall imposing man possessed of the most gentle and lovable nature. He will always be remembered with affection in Nimmitabel. Joff's widow Monnie, who lives in Bega, is afforded the same love and respect.

Then we have Jack, the consummate horseman. He has an innate understanding of the horse psyche and has had a lifelong bond with his horses, who have served him well in his work and leisure. Jack is a credible judge of horses and rode daily well into his eighties. He has unshakeable faith in cattle and in the land generally. I can safely say they both have given him a rich and satisfying life.

Although Jack now lives in Currawarna at Bombala, he is still a great teller of yams about the characters of Nimmitabel.

Jack's wife Jean died 26 years ago, but she will be fondly remembered as a warm caring person with a vibrant personality, a great sense of humour and the ability to get along with everyone. She was also an excellent cook, being successful in all district shows.

Thanks to the efforts of Howard Charles, we now have Lake Williams as a monument to the Williams family.

Hard Life at Sea

Does the thought of travelling the world on a damp and creaking vessel, eating meals of insect-ridden, brittle biscuits, with a very good possibility of dying from disease, violent conflict, or falling off the topmast in high seas make you want to set sail on an expedition of exploration? Perhaps not. Even in the 18th century, British writer Samuel Johnson (1709–1784) showed scepticism for the sailor’s way of life when he stated: “No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for, being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned.... A man in a jail has more room, better food and commonly better company.”

Quarters were cramped and shared by humans, rats, and other vermin. Hygiene was a challenge, especially when most sailors only had a single set of clothing – a good crust of salt and grease was seen as a barrier to the elements. Dangers and hardships abounded, from Arctic ice to scurvy, conflict, and flogging. Gruelling physical labour and low pay were expected, and alcohol, prostitutes, and the high cost of replacing worn out clothing from the ship’s stores cleaned out the pockets of many expeditionary members before the ships reached home port. Even captains met their share of troubles in unruly crewmembers, health complaints, and political intrigues that could ruin their careers and reputations.

Yet sailors and overland expeditionary forces came to the Pacific Northwest in steady waves during the 1700s. There was food for the sailors when many at home had none, there was adventure when their brothers lived life behind a plough, and there was the promise of comradeship, revelry in exotic lands, and even a glimmer of hope that trade (unsanctioned for personal gain, of course) might earn them some wealth. They marvelled at sights and experiences that most could never even imagine. In the 18th century, health improved and sailor deaths declined under new measures for safety and nutrition. For captains, expedition leaders, and officers, renown, promotion, and publication of their journals held the allure of expanding scientific knowledge and national pride. Daily life on an expedition was part of a greater experience that made weevils in the biscuits and the experiments of the ship’s surgeon a little more bearable.

Conditions for the poor in England...chimney- sweep children.

It often happened that when the boy was sent up the chimney was still hot from the recent use of the fire; and the poor little creature got severely burnt. It was proved beyond question or doubt that in many cases a boy who stuck fast in a still heated chimney, was found to be dead when at last he was dragged back to the hearth. The poor little creatures were dressed in a short gown of sacking, which was so covered with soot that it looked as if it never could be made clean again - and probably, indeed, no attempt was ever tried to make it clean again. The soot of one day's deposit was added to the soot of the former day, and after the first day or two the keenest unprofessional eye could not have detected any difference in the black accumulation. There was something peculiarly grim, pathetic and touching in Charles Lamb's description of the climbing boys as "these almost clergy imps." The faces of the poor boys were always covered and clotted with soot; and as the master sweep's countenance generally bore the same appearance, perhaps as a professional symbol, it was not likely that any great use was made of soap and water to give the climbing boy a short and futile interval of cleanliness. For years and for generations people went on taking no notice of the sufferings of the little sweeps; the ordinary householder grew accustomed to them - it is very easy to grow accustomed to the routine sufferings' of other human creatures - and it never occurred to most persons to ask themselves whether humanity could do nothing in the matter. The philanthropists, as usual, were the first to stir in the wretched business These philanthropists would not even be content to let the master sweep do what he liked with his own climbing boys. In some cases they were literally his own climbing boys; for it was shown in evidence that master sweeps of the worst class had sometimes, for the sake of economy, employed their own children in sweeping the householder's chimneys. Here again the philanthropists were not to be daunted; they insisted on the right of legislation to interfere between the parent and his child when the parent set his child to the filthy and dangerous work of a climbing boy. The philanthropists carried their way in the end; they set about rousing public opinion, and they did at last thoroughly rouse public opinion. A mountain of evidence was produced to show the horrors of the system.

It was proved that in many cases master sweeps had actually employed little girls to do the abominable work; and it was stated in Liverpool, and so far as we know never contradicted, that in one case at least a master sweep who had a wife, a young, small, and slender woman, passed her off as a boy and employed her in the climbing of chimneys. In many cases, as it was proved by uncontradicted evidence, when a poor child stuck fast in a chimney a master sweep declared that the boy was only shamming, that he was lazy and stubborn, and accordingly ordered a fire to be again lighted in the grate, so as to compel the unfortunate creature to mount the chimney in order to escape from the flames. Of course the extreme cases thus brought forward in the evidence did not even profess to be an illustration of the common ways of the trade. Many of the master sweeps were decent poor fellows enough : but there was the trade, under the same conditions as those which they had always known to belong to it; and when the respected and educated householder in the towns, when the county gentleman, and even the clergyman, made no objection to the practice, how was the poor sweep to find out that the employment of climbing boys was a disgrace to humanity? Such, however, it was; and so it was soon proved to be. The master sweep and his ways began to be a horror to the whole community. The Saracens, we read, used to frighten their naughty children into submission by threatening to hand them over to be dealt with by King Richard of England. In days that some of us can still remember many a rebellious infant was frightened into good order by the threat that he would be handed over to the master sweep.

How we are used and abused. Sheep to the Slaughter.

lots of serious reading.

It appears that multinationals centred in the United States are using their own private armies, ( security firms) and waging wars for corporate profit.

National governments are becoming controlled and democracy seriously undermined, while the news media is mostly under the multi-nationals control also.

The use of drones as spotters, enabling cars, houses and individuals to blown up anywhere in the world, has resulted in thousands of civilian deaths, mostly under-reported. Anti-terrorism is being cited as the reason for these acts of warfare, but the acts by multi-national agencies and the governments they control are the real terrorist acts.

Most people are unaware of these horrible developments and are kept preoccupied by music and fashion fads, entertainment, watching sports, and the pursuit of more unnecessary consumer goods and the acquisition of money.

The kind of skewed education available keeps the population

ignorant of real conditions and the tight control they are under. (Ric) YES, IT IS A CONSPIRACY.

There was this bloke who went into a pub and ordered a beer. Just as he started to drink it he found he had to take a quick trip to the toilet. So he left a note by his beer saying: "Don't touch this beer, I spat in it!"

After returning to drink his beer he saw his note had been added to:"SO DID I."
