text: Duncan Dobie - September 22, 2010 Young Guns = Giant Bucks! Who says we're not passing on the hunting tradition to the younger generation? If last season was any indication, at the rate our youngsters seem to be harvesting trophy whitetails, there may not be anything left for the "over the hill" generation! By Duncan Dobie Brittany Koenig, 17, WisconsinBRITTANY KOENIG, WISCONSIN My mother, Tammy Koenig, has been involved in the outdoor industry since about the time I was born. Although I'm 17 now, I've been shooting a bow since I was 6. I remember looking forward to the time when I would actually be able to hunt. Fortunately, over the past five years I've been able to go with my mom on several hunts after bear, deer and elk. Last year in late December (three days after Christmas) we went on an exciting bowhunt for whitetails in Minocqua, Wisconsin. The weather was very cold, windy and blustery. Deer movement was not good, and we spent many hours in our tree stands without seeing a single animal. During my third day out, we tried a brand-new stand location. It was very cold and windy. The oak leaves were rustling in the high winds, and that helped cover the sounds of movement on the unforgiving platform of my stand. After sitting for about 30 minutes, I saw an outstanding buck coming my way to the left side of my tree stand. I slowly worked my way around in my stand to prepare for a shot. The buck seemed fairly unaware of my position as I readied my bow. As he walked closer, I raised my Mathews Drenalin. When I came to full draw, he stopped. I settled my pin on his vitals and released my arrow at the broadside buck. My shot looked perfect! He ran away and after only 40 yards he stopped, got wobbly and fell over. It was one of the most humane harvests ever! I was so excited I wanted to jump right out of the stand! After a few minutes I calmed down enough to unhook my harness and climb down to see my buck. He was a beautiful deer. We had him measured later, and his nearly perfect 10-point frame measured around 135 P&Y. My mom was so proud of me! We both harvested great deer on this hunt, and both of our deer fell within sight of our stands. It is awesome when a lot of practice pays off! I love to hunt with my family, and I encourage all of you young girls to do the same!

KRISTOPHER HAVELKA, MISSOURI On the afternoon of Oct. 27, 2007, opening day of the Missouri youth hunt, my dad and I headed to our stand. My name is Kristopher Havelka. I'm 15 years old and live in Owensville, Missouri. This was my last year to hunt the Missouri youth season. I was fortunate to take a doe and a nice 6-point buck during my previous youth season hunts. Dad and I have a tree stand set up where we'd seen good deer sign and where I killed a doe earlier in 2007 with my bow. However, we had not seen any bucks from this stand and we didn't put out our game camera. Oct. 27 was a good evening to hunt. We had been sitting for a while when a 5-point buck came within shooting range. I decided I would let him go because I was hoping to see something bigger. About an hour before dark, we heard something coming toward us. It was a big buck, and we were sure it was bigger than any deer my dad had mounted and hanging on the walls at home. Kristopher Havelka, 15, MissouriThis buck came walking in with no idea we were there. He got about 15 yards from us. I was shaking so bad that I was having trouble holding my gun still. Dad told me to take a deep breath and shoot when I was ready. Even though I was shaking, I was able to calm down long enough to put what I thought was a good shot on him with my open-sighted Marlin .30-30 lever-action. I was sure I hit him, but we watched him run off. We didn't want to push him, so we stayed in the stand for what seemed like forever. Finally we climbed out of the stand and headed for the house. We thought we would need help tracking the buck because the woods are very thick, so we called my uncle and cousin and told them I'd shot a nice buck and asked if they would come over to help us track the deer. After about 30 minutes, my uncle showed up with two of his friends, and my cousin arrived later. We headed back into the woods to look for my buck. The buck only ran about 60 yards from where I shot him, so it didn't take us long to find him. It wasn't until I walked up to him that I realized that I had killed a buck with a large body and an incredible set of horns. This was the biggest buck that any of us had ever seen. My dad was so proud and excited he told me he wouldn't make me field dress this one. All of us were so excited that we could hardly wait to get it to the house and examine the massive horns. This non-typical buck has 12 points on the main frame, 2 lobster-claw-shaped points on the back of the base, and 7 stickers around the front of the base, for a total of 21 points. He field dressed at 210 pounds. We had it officially scored by a Boone and Crockett measurer. It gross-scored 214€'2/8 inches and net-scored 207€'2/8 inches, with an inside spread of 19€'7/8 inches. The length of the right G-2 was 14€'3/8 inches, and the length of the left G-2 was 14€'2/8 inches. My family was so excited for me to kill such an impressive deer. I doubt if I'll ever be lucky enough to see another deer like this one! BRANDON HOVICK, ILLINOIS It all began over a plate of chicken fingers and fries at Steak 'n Shake on Nov. 17, 2007. "So where do you think we should hunt?" my father asked me as I dumped globs of ketchup onto my fries. "I don't care," I replied, "Wherever we'll see the most deer, I guess." My father looked at me, took a drink, and started to think. "Well, we know there's a nice buck at the Ten Acres," he replied as he grabbed some of my fries and popped them into his mouth. "But there's also a great stand at the edge of the field at Big John's that could land us a deer." So after much deliberation, we decided to hunt our "evening" stand that had never been hunted in the evening at Big John's property. We rushed out there as quickly as we could because it was getting dark fast and we didn't want to blow a chance at a deer. When we arrived it was about 3:30 p.m., so we had about an hour and a half of light. We quickly suited up and headed out to the stand. It was the perfect time for an evening hunt. The sun had just started to descend towards the horizon, and the deer would be coming out to the cornfield to feed. Brandon Hovick, 14, IllinoisIt was then that I realized my blunder: I looked down at my feet and saw my tennis shoes. I had forgotten to put on my hunting boots! I cursed my stupidity, but it was way too late to go back to the truck so I just sat tight and hoped that this wouldn't affect the outcome of the hunt. After a bit, my father and I started to remark about the beauty of the woods around us. As time began to slip by, I started to get a little distracted. Suddenly my father suddenly squeezed my leg. As I turned to look at him, he squeezed me again and nodded in the direction behind me. Walking along the edge of the woods was a monster buck! As I stared open-mouthed at it in awe, my father asked me in a whisper how many points it had. I looked over and then whispered to him in response: "Eight, no 10 -- oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!" Although I couldn't exactly count the number of points it had, I could see that this deer was a monster. It was pretty obvious that this deer must have been the granddaddy of all the other bucks out here! My father handed me the gun -- an H&R 12-gauge single shot loaded with a Lightfield sabot slug -- and told me to take the shot. I pushed the gun away saying, "I'll miss. You take the shot." He reasoned quickly that he was on the wrong side of the stand and I was closest, so I had to take the shot. My heart must have been beating a million beats a minute as I raised the gun and steadied it on the rail that surrounded the stand. As I zeroed in on the buck, he must have decided that he didn't like the woods because he started walking away from us out into the field. (My dad told me later that the buck was downwind from us and busted us with his nose.) My heart skipped a beat. I didn't have a shot! As I stared blankly at the deer that was going to get away, Dad had an idea. He stood up in the stand and grunted. The deer didn't stop, so Dad tried again. On the third try, my dad basically yelled at the deer! The buck finally turned and looked. Seizing the opportunity, I aimed right above the deer's left shoulder and fired. Bam! My shot rang out, and when I looked up, my deer was running toward the forest on the other side of the field. Had I aimed too high? It was a pretty long shot, at least 65 yards, but would the bullet drop that much? After all, the scope was sighted in for a 40-yard shot. "I missed!" I groaned as tears started to form in my eyes. I turned to face my dad and was about to cry when he suddenly jerked and said, "No, Brandon, you got him! He's down!" My emotions suddenly turned took a 180-degree turn. "I hit him!" I yelled as tears started rolling down my cheeks. I hugged my dad just like you'd see in one of those silly Kodak moments commercial and then we climbed down to see my deer. The buck turned out to be a true 6x6 12-pointer with a drop tine on the right side. He later scored 193€'2/8 non-typical B&C points. People keep telling me that I'll probably never get another deer like that in my lifetime. They're probably right, but I'm just glad I got to shoot it with my dad right beside me in possibly the best father-son moment that I will ever have! BEN KOZAC, WISCONSIN My name is Ben Kozac and I'm 17 years old. My family owns 105 acres in Shawano County, Wisconsin, where my father and I like to hunt. We enjoy hunting with both bows and guns. Last Nov. 17, opening day of the Wisconsin gun season, Dad and I were out hunting on the property. Earlier that Saturday morning, I had passed up several small bucks and does. Later on, I was looking down my shooting lane watching two does walking through a swamp when I noticed that they stopped and turned to look at something deeper back in the swamp. Suddenly I saw another doe running across my shooting lane. Thinking there might be a buck behind her, I grabbed my gun and got ready. Sure enough, a big buck stepped out into the lane and stopped. The limbs of a tree covered his shoulder, however, and I couldn't get a clear shot. I kept my gun up, hoping for a shot, but he finally disappeared. I waited nearly 20 more minutes and started regretting not taking the shot. All at once, the doe stepped back out in the shooting lane and stopped. Seconds later, the buck stepped into view just several feet behind her. I was hunting with a Remington 1187 special purpose "Deerslayer" shotgun topped with a Leupold scope. I clicked off the safety on my gun and waited for her to clear the way. A few seconds later, she moved forward and I fired. The buck went down instantly. I didn't know how truly big he was until I walked up on him. He has 13 points (6x6 with one abnormal) and an inside spread of 18 inches. We had him green-scored a few days later. He grossed 170€'2/8 and netted 163 inches typical! MICHAEL EVANS, OKLAHOMA My name is Michael Evans. I'm 14 and I live in Elmore City, Oklahoma. Last season, my dad and I went hunting on Sunday morning, Oct. 28, 2007, during the muzzleloader season. I really wanted to kill a big buck because my 11-year-old brother had already killed three deer during the 2007 season. One of them was a really nice buck. We were hunting separate tree stands, and my dad had told me that we had to get down out of our stands by 8:40 a.m. so that we could make it to church. About 8:35, only minutes before it would be time to leave, this big buck suddenly walked out on my left side. I was waiting for a good shot when he turned and went back into the trees. A few minutes later he came back out in the open and walked right in front of me. I yelled "Hey" to make him stop, and when he stopped I took my shot. When Dad got there we went to look for him, but he had run so far that we almost gave up. But finally we found him! My trophy buck had a 26€'1/2-inch outside spread and his antlers measured 19€'1/2 inches inside. He weighed 180 pounds field dressed. He was a lot bigger than my brother's buck! HUNTER NORRIS, MISSOURI My name is Hunter Norris and I am 10 years old. I have been deer hunting for four years, and so far I've taken three deer. On Oct. 25, 2007, my dad and I headed out from our home in North Carolina to participate in the two-day Missouri youth whitetail hunt. We arrived at the Kansas City airport looking forward to spending quality time together and also hoping to get a shot at a nice Missouri buck. We spent the Friday before opening day visiting Cabela's, buying our licenses and getting the supplies we would need for our hunt. Opening morning, Oct. 27, 2007, found my dad and me sitting in a friend's box stand in Caldwell County waiting for sunrise. The action started quickly when we spotted a small 6-pointer chasing two does to our left in the CRP field we were watching. A few minutes later we saw a large buck crossing the field at a distance of 300 yards. Dad told me to get the crosshairs of the Remington Model 700 .25-06 on the deer and to get ready to take the shot. The buck stopped. Dad told me to hold high on his shoulder and for me to shoot when I was ready. The first shot found its mark behind the deer's front shoulder, and he turned and ran toward us. The buck stopped about 250 yards from us and gave me another broadside shot. That shot also went right behind his shoulder, and the buck ran about 30 more yards and fell. We watched him to make sure he was down for good, and he was. My dad and I high-fived and hugged each other. After allowing our nerves to settle, we called my mom and the landowner to tell them the news. Then we climbed down from the stand to go and take a look at my first Missouri buck. I ran ahead of my dad so that I could be the first one to see how big he really was. I could not believe my eyes when I saw the size of the horns. My buck had 10 points and an 18-inch spread. My dad took lots of pictures, and we made more phone calls to let our family and friends know about the buck I had just taken. After the required drying time, he officially scored 140€'5/8. This was truly an exciting hunt, and I'm thankful my dad took me to Missouri. I can't wait to go back next year and try for an even bigger buck! TAYLOR DRURY, MISSOURI On Nov. 4, 2007, 12-year-old Taylor Drury arrowed this outstanding buck while hunting from a tree stand in northern Missouri with her well-known dad, Mark Drury. Since Mark was videotaping the hunt for Drury Outdoors television, Taylor may be the youngest female hunter to have ever taken a buck by bow on video. Even more amazing, this petite young lady weighs in at only 67 pounds, and she was shooting a 30-pound Browning Micro-Adrenaline bow (nearly half her body weight!). Taylor started out shooting a 20-pound bow and worked hard before the season to get up to 30 pounds. She made a perfect 10-yard shot on the 3€'1/2-year-old buck, and the arrow made a complete pass-through. (Taylor's buck had experienced a previous leg injury, causing its rack to be slightly deformed on the left side.) Is this young bowhunter a chip off the old block or what? ADAM HASENJAEGER, MISSOURI My name is Adam Hasenjaeger and I live in Marthasville, Missouri. I'm 15 now, and I've been hunting everything I could since I was 10. Last season I bowhunted every day after school on my grandmother's 100 acres, and I only saw one decent buck. When the Missouri rifle season started, I decided to put down my bow for a while and hunt with a rifle. On Nov. 11, 2007, the second day of rifle season, I had been hunting out of my bow stand on one side of a small food plot. I had been rattling, grunting and bleating since daylight when I decided to move to a rifle stand across the food plot. (The bow stand was very uncomfortable.) At about 8 a.m., as I was going over to the new stand, I set out a Knight & Hale doe estrous scent bomb in the corner of the food plot about 50 yards away. After sitting in the new stand awhile, I heard a lot of noise coming from the cedars on one side of the food plot. Soon a doe walked out of the cedars 10 yards past my doe estrous bomb. I was eyeing her through the scope, and I kept looking behind her when suddenly this big guy stepped out! I couldn't believe it. He did the lip curl right in front of me. I waited for him to walk into one of the clear spots. As soon as he did, I tried to bleat with my mouth, but I was speechless. He was in between the two clear spots, and as soon as he walked out I kind of yelled out a bleat and he stopped. I put the cross hairs of my Savage .243 on his heart and pulled the trigger. He did the mule kick, ran up the ridge, stopped, swayed and crashed. He only ran about 60 yards. After that I was overcome with the shakes. Everything had happened in less than 30 seconds. I thought he might be a nice 10-pointer with a few big kickers, but boy was I wrong. He ended up having a 6x5 main frame with 7 abnormal points. He grossed 196€'3/6 and officially netted 186 non-typical B&C points. I just couldn't even imagine shooting a deer like that. I stood in awe for probably 10 minutes -- thanking God for the greatest day of my life and the greatest deer I will probably ever shoot! RYAN RICHARDSON, TENNESSEE On Oct. 27, 2007, 12-year-old Ryan Richardson was hunting with his dad, Rex, during the "juvenile weekend" on family property in Lewisburg, Tennessee. On three different occasions they had seen a big 11-pointer running with several other bucks, and they hoped to see him again on this special day. Shortly after daylight at about 6:50 a.m., this giant 11-pointer appeared. Before Rex could even get the deer in his binoculars, Ryan aimed and fired with his Thompson/Center .25-06 Encore. The buck ran about 10 yards and dropped. Ryan had made a perfect 60-yard shot! "We had Ryan's deer officially scored at Bass Pro Shop, and he scored 160," Rex said. "This is the deer of a lifetime in our area!" MATT SEIBOLD, OHIO My name is Matt Seibold. I'm 11 years old and I live in South Vienna, Ohio. Nov. 17, 2007, was the first day of our youth hunting season in Ohio (shotgun or muzzleloader only). My dad woke me up at 5:30 a.m. so we could get to the woods and get in our stand by before daylight. About 20 minutes after daylight, a 10-point buck came right in on us. He was about 10 yards away, but I spooked him as I tried to get my muzzleloader in position to shoot. The next buck we saw went running right behind us chasing after a doe. Then, at about 8:05, another doe appeared about 60 yards away. My dad told me to get my gun ready because he thought a buck might be following her. Dad was right! Sure enough, here he came! It was the biggest buck I had ever seen. I asked my dad if I could shoot. He told me to wait for the deer to get closer. Finally, at about 50 yards, the buck turned broadside. My dad said shoot. BOOM! The doe took off running right by us. My dad asked me if I'd been aiming carefully, because the buck did not move. Then the buck tried to follow the doe. He went about 10 yards and fell down. That's when we realized I had made a perfect shot with my CVA .50-caliber Wolf muzzleloader. My dad reloaded the muzzleloader. He told me to shoot again if the deer moved. We got down out of the stand and I called my mom to tell her I had killed a monster buck. The rack was higher than the bed of our truck. It took us 2€'1/2 hours to drive the five miles to our house because everybody wanted to see my deer. They all asked: "Where did you kill this buck?" All I would say was "in the woods!" My buck field dressed at 190 pounds and scored 171 3/8-net as a typical 10-pointer! MCKENZIE YOUNG, IOWA The 2007 Iowa youth season was fast approaching, and my 6-year-old daughter McKenzie was looking forward to her second chance to score on a trophy whitetail. My wife and I own and operate True Trophy Outfitters in southern Iowa and northern Missouri. McKenzie has grown up with hunting and she is no stranger to big whitetails. In 2006 we hunted hard for the entire youth season, but things never came together for her. We hoped 2007 would be different. McKenzie practiced all summer long with a CVA Optima Muzzleloader and she got very confident with it. I set it up to shoot 50 grains of powder with a 245-grain PowerBelt bullet. This load is a great combination for a young hunter. It's accurate and it doesn't pack that much of a kick. On Sept. 15 we decided to hunt an alfalfa field late in the afternoon. The wind was out of the south and would be perfect for the hunt. We found a spot between two hay bales and enclosed the area with several sheets of burlap to make a little blind. We saw several deer, including several small bucks. A yearling walked up and fed to within five yards of us, but McKenzie passed on him. As the young deer fed behind us, a big storm front pushed in on us. It started to thunder and lighting. This was not good, but we decided it would be safer to stay put in the hay bales rather than walk across the field with so much lightning around us. After a few brief showers, it looked like the front was going to pass. So we decided to stick it out and see what would happen. After another close encounter with a nice buck that spooked and ran off, I was convinced that our chances were over for the afternoon's hunt. McKenzie was, too. She looked at me and said, "Dad, I'm not going to shoot a deer tonight, am I?" Even though I had my doubts, I looked into her eyes and said, "Hang in there -- it could still happen!" A few minutes later, I cautiously stood up to survey the field and see if there was any activity going on. I saw a doe at about 150 yards, and then, as I looked around, I caught movement out of the corner of my eye. Suddenly I saw a giant buck walking out of the bedding area in the woods right at us. He was only 20 yards away! He paused for a minute and looked back over his shoulder. When he did, I slowly dropped to my knees and got McKenzie ready. As we were getting ready, he started to walk right at our blind, closing the distance to just five yards! He paused for a moment to feed on the alfalfa, and this gave McKenzie her chance. I told her to shoot. She said, "I can't see him." I kept saying, "Shoot." She could not see him, though, because he was so close. All she could see in the scope was brown, and she could not find the shoulder to aim at. As she tried to get the shot off, he started to walk. He walked around to the other side of the hay bale where we were sitting. As he was walking, we slowly turned around in the blind and got ready again. When he walked into sight, I told McKenzie to shoot. Again she could not shoot because he was so close. He continued walking and disappeared behind a couple of hay bales. I knew we had to do something, and quick. So we quietly climbed out of the back of the blind and moved over two hay bales. When we looked in between those bales, there he was, 15 yards away. He was feeding broadside in the alfalfa. McKenzie set up and looked through the scope. I said, "Can you see him?" She said, "Yeah!" Then she pulled the trigger. When the smoke cleared, we could see the buck running down the center of the field. Just then, he slowed and went down. It was over and McKenzie had her first deer! When I turned and looked at her, the expression on her face was priceless. The walk across the field seemed to take forever. The deer had come to rest in 3-foot-high grass, so we could not see him from where we were. I let McKenzie walk ahead of me so she could be the first to find him. As we were walking through the grass, she paused for a minute and then said, "Ahhh, Dad, there he is!" He was lying right at the tip of her toes. If she had taken one more step, she would have stepped on him. When she picked up his beautiful rack, it was the proudest moment in my life. This was a big, heavy-bodied mature whitetail that we all dream of. Our hunt together will be a hunt that neither of us will ever forget!

CAMERON HUGHES, MISSOURI It was Nov. 17, 2007, and the end of the Missouri firearms season was fast approaching. Nine-year-old Cameron Hughes was hunting with his dad, Jim, in Crawford County, Missouri. Shortly after 7 a.m., Jim noticed that Cameron was shaking from the cold. So being a good dad, Jim unloaded Cameron's Remington Model 700 Youth .243, climbed down from their stand and retrieved a camo sleeping bag that he had left at the base of the tree. He got Cameron wrapped up and repositioned, and the father-and-son team settled in and planned to sit for the next two to three hours. Within minutes, Cameron whispered, "Dad, here comes a deer!" Sure enough, a young doe was headed right toward the two hunters and would pass by at about 20 yards. Suddenly Cameron blurted out, "It's got antlers!" Jim thought Cameron was suffering from the cold and seeing things, but Cameron insisted the deer had antlers. Without getting too excited, Jim figured that Cameron might be looking at a small buck. He told his son to shoot when he had a clean shot. After a sickening "click," Jim realized that he'd forgotten to reload the gun after getting the sleeping bag. He quickly chambered a shell and asked Cameron if he could still see the deer. "Yes," Cameron answered. "It's still standing there." Although Jim had a large oak tree blocking his view, he told Cameron to shoot when he was ready. Boom! "He's down right there!" Cameron exclaimed excitedly. Jim still could not see the buck. By this time, the doe they'd been watching was no more than 10 yards away. Jim had killed a 20-inch-wide 10-pointer on opening weekend, but he still had a doe tag. "Shoot the doe!" Cameron said. So Jim aimed and fired. The doe ran about 75 yards and fell. Cameron was too excited to stay in the stand for more than a minute, and father and son were soon down on the ground. As Jim was gathering the pair's guns at the base of the tree, he looked down the hill and saw his beaming 9-year-old son holding up the buck of a lifetime. That .243 had dropped the buck right where he stood. Jim spent the next few minutes wiping happy tears from his eyes and hugging his son. After a bit, Cameron said, "Dad, if you hug me again I'm going to smack you. It's just a deer!" Cameron's awesome main-frame 10-pointer, truly the buck of a lifetime for the young hunter, grossed 156 inches. ADAM BOUCH, OHIO Adam's dad, Joe, spotted this monster buck while hunting in Mahoning County, Ohio, on Nov. 29, 2007. He hung a stand the next day for Adam, 14, to use. On Dec. 27, after nearly a month, conditions were perfect for Adam to hunt the stand during late muzzleloader season. Adam climbed into the stand as Joe did a slow drive through a nearby bedding area. The cagey buck tried to sneak by Adam's position, but Adam dropped the bruiser at 35 yards with his .50-caliber muzzleloader. "My dad had already filled his tag," Adam said. "When he spotted this buck, he said it was the biggest buck he'd ever seen in 30 years of hunting. We decided I'd better hold onto my buck tag. After Dad put the stand up, the wind was never right for me to hunt it. But finally on the first day of muzzleloader season (Dec. 27), the forecast called for a southwest wind. My dad doe hunted the opposite side of the 80-acre woods that morning while I was at basketball practice. As he was leaving the woods, the big buck jumped up in front of him and ran toward my stand. Dad knew there was a dense bedding area near my stand, and he assumed the deer would stop there. "Dad picked me up at basketball practice, and I went home and took a shower and gathered my gear. We approached my stand from a downwind direction. Once I settled in, Dad circled the dense bedding cover and allowed his scent to blow back toward the area where he expected the deer to be hiding. Dad slowly moved back and forth through the area, hoping the buck would sneak toward me. And he did! My buck had 14 points, and he grossed 180 non-typical and 173 7/8 typical. I'd like to thank my dad for his help. My hunt would not have been possible without him!" (Editor's Note: After reading these 13 stories, you might think we're partial to Missouri, since five of the 13 bucks discussed were taken in the Show Me State. It just happened that way, although Missouri certainly is home to many superb young hunters, and awesome parents!) GET THE NEWSLETTER Join the List and Never Miss a Thing. Sign Me Up

Yasume - "Where We're From The Birds Sing A Pretty Song"
This album may be familiar to fans of older IDM, though it will likely fall under some radars because it is, sadly, the short-lived project's only album (released in 2003 on Centre City Offices). However, this is one of the most beautiful, atmospheric, downtempo IDM albums out there and every fan of the genre should listen to it. Yasume is made up of Xela (John Twells) and Logreybeam (Gabriel Morley). You should be able to pick it up pretty cheap these days on amazon. I got it for something like $5.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas released its quarterly survey of approximately 200 oil and gas firms located or headquartered in the 11th District (see illustration) September 28, 2016. The Survey measures the firms' business activities over the last quarter, reporting whether they increased, decreased or remained static. The results are used to help guide the Federal Open Market Committee's monetary policy deliberations.
As felt on the street, the Survey notes that oil and gas activity increased in the 3rd Quarter. Production continues to decline, albeit at a slower rate. Capital spending expanded while the labor market indicators contracted, despite static labor reports from survey participants. 62% believe the price of oil will be higher in a year's time.
The Survey includes a Comments section, which prints verbatim quotes from respondents, like the following:
"The lack of precision in global information as to supply and demand plagues us all. Anecdotal evidence of economic conditions move markets irrationally. Knowledge, or more accurately, lack of knowledge, of when oil will rebalance is palpable. There is paralysis from analysis that prevents rational deployment of capital."
My personal favorite quote from an imagined "old salt" at a service company:
"So many companies have depleted their ranks of older, knowledgeable workers that when this finally turns around, the number of mistakes the "newbie" replacements will make will be horrifying and will increase workplace deaths markedly, the closer you get to the rigs, pipelines, plants, etc., in the "fields". Across the board, new college grads have hollow grades—they look good but benefited from grade inflation, and they're actually undereducated by and large compared with my generation. Their work ethic, by and large, is poor, and their salary demands are extreme."
The Survey can be found HERE.

Lady singer 'harassed' on pretext of marriage by Ollywood music director
Bhubaneswar: In a sensational case, a female playback singer has labelled harassment charges on pretext of marriage against a music director of the Odia film industry.
The victim has lodged a complaint with the Police against music director, Dipu Dasmohapatra. Police have also recorded the statement of the victim.
To back her allegations, the victim has handed over an intimate chat history on social media. As per the victim, both fell in love two years back following which they got into a relationship. However, the music director betrayed and didn't marry her as committed, the victim alleged, adding further that she was also blackmailed by the music director.
According to sources, the duo was counselled for reconciliation earlier by Commissionerate Police. However, as per the victim, the music director got married before any settlement.
"His name is Dipu Dashmohapatra and he exploited me. He didn't keep his promise of marrying me and also threatened to kill me. By denying marriage, he has spoiled my life. I want him to get punishment for all the wrong he has done to me," said the victim.
On the other hand, Dipu has refuted the allegations. "I told her to leave me because I was married but she is forcefully harassing me. I have never told to marry her and also never loved her," said Dipu.
"We have already received a complaint from the Mahila Police Station and we are currently examining the sections under which case can be registered. Once the case is registered, we will investigate the matter," said Deputy Commissioner, Satyabrata Bhoi.

This is bad news for brides-to-be everywhere, kids. Anthropologie has launched an online bridal shop, complete with wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, cocktail dresses, accessories, shoes, etc, etc. Why is this bad news? Because it is going to kill my wallet and I'm not even getting married. It's genius, really. Take the romatic-boho chic of Anthropologie and capitalize on it in wedding form and you have a guaranteed money maker. Here are some of my favorite pieces (but let's be honest, I love all of them):
Tiered Tulip Gown, $2,400 at bhldn.com: I love this wedding dress. It's so different from what you usually see, but not so different that you could never actually wear it as a wedding dress. The lettuce edge to the layers adds a hint of femininity without going overboard, the slit in the front shows a bit of ankle without being too sexy, and the black sash at the waist adds just the right amount of structure and edge. It's modern, it's romantic, and it's just a bit quirky.
Starburst Pleated Shift, $200 at bhldn.com: This is so '20s screen siren, in a modern take (also, does that model look a bit like Camilla Belle or is that just me?). The black becomes fun instead of standard with the high sheen fabric, the subtle pleating gives the simple shape some visual interest, and the wrapped, jeweled belt adds this old school glamour twist. I want to wear this dress in a smokey speakeasy with tons of black liner and basically just be awesome.
Savoy Dress, $220 at bhldn.com: I have a dress like this from Rodarte for Target, with the same neckline with the illusion/sheer fabric and the sweetheart cut. It's such a fun dress because you aren't showing too much skin, but you're still flashing a little something-something. The length is flattering but wedding appropriate, and the sweetness of the little bow balances out the vampiness of the lipstick red perfectly.

BOSTON — President Obama on Monday condemned the demise of bipartisan compromise in American politics that he said had prompted voters to turn away in bitterness and "disgust," using the dedication of the Edward M. Kennedy Institute to call for a new era of consensus-building.
"We live in a time of such great cynicism about all our institutions, and we are cynical about government and about Washington most of all," Mr. Obama told about 1,800 people in a speech outside the institute, which was constructed to help repair the reputation of the United States Senate, where Mr. Kennedy represented Massachusetts for 47 years.
"We can fight on almost everything, but we can come together on some things, and those some things can mean everything to a whole lot of people," Mr. Obama said.
In a 26-minute speech by turns hopeful and mournful that evoked both Mr. Kennedy's thundering Senate oratories and his sometimes impish antics, Mr. Obama paid tribute to the man often called "the lion of the Senate" while acknowledging how the institution he revered had changed.
"It's a more diverse, more accurate reflection of America than it used to be, and that is a grand thing, a great achievement, but Ted grieved the loss of camaraderie and collegiality, the face-to-face interaction," Mr. Obama said. "He regretted the arguments now made to cameras instead of colleagues, directed at a narrow base instead of the body politic as a whole, the outsized influence of money and special interests, and how it all leads more Americans to turn away in disgust and simply choose not to exercise their right to vote."
The president, who served one term in the Senate — much of it consumed with speculation over whether he would seek the presidency, indirectly acknowledged his own role and that of his generation in the transformation of Congress. He noted that Mr. Kennedy had waited more than a year before delivering his first speech in the Senate's august well, an exact replica of which is the institute's most striking feature.
"That's no longer the custom," Mr. Obama said, to laughter. (He made his debut on the Senate floor just two days after being sworn in, in January 2005.)
Nor does Mr. Obama's style or temperament bear much resemblance to that of Mr. Kennedy. Where the president is aloof, disciplined and disdainful of the social aspects of serving in Washington, the senator was warm and often boisterous, and he excelled at the art of feuding by day but socializing by night with political adversaries.
Still, Mr. Obama and Mr. Kennedy forged a bond that helped propel the president to the White House, one that he acknowledged on Monday.
"He was my friend; I owe him a lot," Mr. Obama said.
Mr. Obama routinely went to Mr. Kennedy for Senate advice, including guidance before entering the presidential race in 2008. Mr. Kennedy's endorsement of Mr. Obama during that year's Democratic presidential primaries gave Mr. Obama the high-profile stamp of approval of a party symbol at an important moment.
The capstone to their alliance came in 2010 when Mr. Obama signed the Affordable Care Act, legislation that Mr. Kennedy had championed and that his wife, Victoria Reggie Kennedy, noted in introducing the president on Monday was "what Teddy called the cause of his life."
But Mr. Obama said that while colleagues knew Mr. Kennedy as "somebody who was willing to take half a loaf and endure the anger of his own supporters to get something done," his brand of political courage was a disappearing trait.
"Fear so permeates our politics, instead of hope," the president said. "We fight to get these positions, and then don't want to do anything with them."
Mr. Obama said he hoped that the institute would inspire people to emulate Mr. Kennedy, and as he briefly toured the Senate replica after his remarks, he told a group of visiting students that he hoped they would learn about democracy there.
The dedication drew a host of prominent figures from both parties, including the former Senate majority leaders Trent Lott, Republican of Mississippi, and Tom Daschle, Democrat of South Dakota, a tribute to Mr. Kennedy's deep relationships in Congress.
"He was an anchor to many of us in our personal lives, but he was also the anchor in an institution that we revered," said Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who served for 36 years with Mr. Kennedy. He said the senator "treated me like a little brother."
Mr. Biden described how Mr. Kennedy acted as his "tutor and my guide" when he arrived in the Senate, squiring him around the gym introducing him to senators who were undressed. "God, was I embarrassed," Mr. Biden recalled.
The vice president went on to praise Mr. Kennedy for instilling in him the importance of maintaining trust and a personal rapport even with archnemeses such as Southern senators opposed to the Civil Rights Act.
"All politics is personal, and no one, no one in my life understood that better than Ted Kennedy," Mr. Biden said. "This country hungers for a resurgence of a baseline belief in a system of self-governance admired for its wisdom in the face of passionate differences, and for the ability to compromise seemingly unbridgeable divides with some dignity."

Product Description
THIS RELEASE IS DUE IN STOCK in December and may well be cheaper as far as postage goes if you buy from the UK based Bandcamp store!
Boom, the penultimate Hyper On Bundle….Containing…
KF109 – Hyper On Experience – Disturbance Remixes (2 x 10″ Vinyl)
A1. Hamilton Remix
B1. Abyss Remix
C1. Psycangle & Lowercase Remix
D1. Sunny & Deck Hussy Remix
PLUS EXCLUSIVE 320MP3 / 24Bit Wavs to download of the track.
This double 10″ vinyl features some absolutely enormous remixes that are not to be missed! Hamilton (Dj Ham) steps up to the plate and delivers a blisteringly dark remix of an already dark tune. Tough and rough, this one has a bassline that shakes the speakers to death.
Abyss gives us a glorious old skool drum and bass remix, in line with the 1994 sound, full on amen cuts, heavy sines and deep atmospherics.
Lowercase and Psycangle move the whole track into early 90's Ruffneck Records / Malice territory, with a furious old skool gabber remix, hard as nails and noisy as hell.
But perhaps the best is saved for last, because Sunny & Deck Hussy do the near impossible and take a dark tune and flip it on its head, making it euphoric and deep without losing the essential character of the original.
KF99R – The Foul Play / Randall / Danny Styles Remixes 12″
A1. Foul Play Remix (Remastered)
A2. Foul Play Ft. Randall Remix (Remastered)
B1. The Danny Styles Remix 1 (Remastered)
B2. The Danny Styles Remix 2 (Remastered)
Here we have the beautifully remastered Foul Play and Foul Play ft Randall remixes of Lords Of The Null Lines. There is little to say about these definitive classics that has not already been said. You know em, you love em, they are essentials.
However, the Danny Styles remixes are perhaps deserving of some explanation. There were created in the early 90s, and were cut, but quickly stopped by Moving Shadow as they were not really official remixes. A few test presses got out, and the result has been these remixes reaching a near mystical status and the vinyl changing hands on discogs for £500 and other ridiculousness. So it was with great pleasure that Alex Hyper On and Myself managed to broker a deal with Moving Shadow and Danny Styles to bring these amazing remixes to a legal and official release! It took over 25 years, but they can finally be bought…
KFCD33 – The Disturbance Remixes extended…
In an unusual turn of events, we are still waiting for a few tracks to come in to possibly be featured on the CD, so i cannot give you a definitive track listing…but the CD DOES contain all the music on the two vinyls plus more…
PLUS EXCLUSIVE 320MP3 / 24Bit Wavs to download of the tracks.
The digital downloads are available when you receive the vinyl. All vinyls come with a "collector sheet" that contains a link and password to your downloads, as well as links to bonus material and previews of forthcoming Kniteforce & Knitebreed releases!

A house in Medina, Ohio, has just gone on the market. At a price of $525,000, a new owner gets four bedrooms, two baths and a lot of just over 13 acres. Medina is about 30 miles south of Cleveland. With a population of about 26,000 people, it is a small, middle-class town.
The house for sale at 2244 Remsen Road is not an ordinary home. It was built in Massachusetts decades before the United States was founded, in 1697 to be precise. In the 1970s it was moved to its present location. When it was moved, it was restored piece by piece. Realtor.com reports, "It was painstakingly re-assembled, board by board on it's current foundation."
While it may not sell, it is popular. No other home received more searches nationwide at Realtor.com last week, according to the firm's statistics.
The house sits behind a stone wall on barren property. It is unlike the other homes throughout the area. It has five ancient fireplaces and rough floors. It looks more like homes in the old Massachusetts town of Salem, where the streets are lined with 17th-century homes. Medina's housing market is littered with center hall colonials built mostly in the 1960s and 1970s. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that median household income is $71,000. The median value of a house is $185,000. Medina's relative wealth is in deep contrast to the big city just north of it. Cleveland is among the cities hardest hit by extreme poverty.
This ancient house is priced at about three times the price of an average home in Medina. Based on bank estimates, after a typical 20% down payment, it will cost $2,670 a month to own. Ohio is among the states where the middle class is disappearing, so finding buyers for a relatively expensive home may be even more difficult.

There's been a lot making the headlines recently about our (largely incompetent) coalition Government's proposals for stealthily getting more out of the taxpayer. The dishes of the day are currently centred on inheritance tax and mansion tax, as well as gimmicky taxes like fizzy drinks tax, fatty food tax, booze tax and all that malarkey (a subject which deserves a Blog of its own one day). I emailed my local MP to ask her to speak on behalf of the coalition, and was told:
"It is not true to suggest the inheritance tax amounts to double taxation. The wealth in most houses has never been taxed because it is largely in the form of unrealised capital gains."
Who is feeding MPs this kind of nonsense? It's simply not true. The wealth in most houses has already been taxed at least once, because taxation occurred when the money was earned to pay for the house. You can't even begin to grasp what's wrong with the Government's reasoning until you understand this simple example. Jack earns £100, makes some fruitful investments, and leaves £100 million in unrealised capital gains tax to his progeny. If Jack paid 50% income tax on that £100, then he invests only 50% as much, earns 50% as much, and leaves his progeny only half as much as he would have done with no taxation. This is simple economics - taxing Jack 50% on his £100 pounds eventually costs his progeny £50 million pounds.
You see, when I probed my MP about her error, she emailed with a confused response -
"If I understand you correctly, Mr. Knight, you're saying that if a multi-millionaire died tomorrow and left his gains to his family, they shouldn't have to pay inheritance taxes because he already paid a few thousand on the original income?"
Here's the problem - I'm not arguing against a few thousand, I'm explaining that the taxation already amounts to a lot more than a few thousand. My MP is failing to grasp that a "few thousand" paid many years ago is the equivalent to far more than a few thousand today. If Jack has a converter machine that magically makes several thousand pounds from 1987 into several million present day pounds, then taxing him several thousand pounds in 1987 is the equivalent of taxing him a few million pounds in the present day. So it's quite misleading to say he's only paid a few thousand in taxes - his net contribution is much more. Moreover, here is another damaging consequence of these kinds of taxes - savers and investors will be deterred from saving and investing, which is contrary to the ethos of the present Government. Not all will be deterred, but some will, and those will be important players in the economy.
The real problem with this issue is one that I haven't seen any politician addressing. Although, I understand why - MPs are elected with mostly no prior knowledge of the kind of economic thinking needed to tackle these issues, so it's hardly surprising they (and their advisors) don't. They may know economists who could advise on this, but I doubt they'd listen because good economic advice is often contrary to the Government's aim – which is to get as much money as possible without obtaining it at the cost of being found out and unelected.
Here's how the situation should be looked at. The argument isn't about how much to tax, or about who should pay those taxes - it is primarily about the most efficient way to raise those taxes. Taxing earnings once at a higher rate is more efficient than taxing it twice later at two lower rates because the latter distorts the desire to save*, it makes people circumspect about investing, and it encourages people to over-consume in the here and now. Remember, savings now is consumption in the future.
A similar level of stability is required in the consumers' market if the economy is to achieve the right balance in encouraging sensible consuming and mobility. That is why consumption goods are taxed at the same rate, not different rates. Try to imagine the kind of consumers' world we'd live in if different products were taxed at different rates. If you tax two different goods at two different rates, you'd have a new budget line with a slope that differs from the present one. Call the optimum point X. If you tax the goods at the same rate and hold Government revenue at a fixed rate, meaning you get a new budget line with the same slope as the original, also going through point X. To avoid the crossing of these indifference curves, the optimum along this new budget line must sit on a higher indifference curve than X (you can draw the diagram yourself), which is why consumers are better off with an equal taxation consumer policy**.
Returning to efficiency – the consideration of efficiency is important. The notion that it is more "efficient" to tax earnings than to tax investment income is ridiculous if it means mega-rich people can earn hundreds of millions on their investments and pay too little tax or no taxes at all. That's an argument in favour of taxing investment income and labour income as two wings of the same bird that lays the golden egg. As you can gather, either way causes problems. At one extreme, earnings that brought the investments on which taxes are already paid (a house in an investment, don't forget) are being taxed again via the route of inheritance. At the other extreme, a man can switch income to investment and avoid paying tax on income. Here's how that's done. Suppose there is a business that earns £100,000 per year after paying all expenses except income. The business operator could pay himself a salary of £100,000 and the business would record zero earnings, or he could pay himself zero earnings and the business would earn £100,000, which he could then distribute surreptitiously to himself as "investment income." Under those conditions, investment income is not double-taxed when compared with labour income.
Even if capital gains taxes were capped at 1%, income subject to those taxes would be taxed at a higher rate than off the peg compensation. That's because capital gains taxes (as well as other taxes on capital income) are surcharge taxes, assessed on top of the tax on compensation. An illustration will explain why. Jenny and Jack each work a day and earn £1. Jenny spends her £1 right away. Jack invests his £1, waits for it to double, and then spends the resulting £2. Let's see how the tax code affects them. First add a wage tax - Jenny and Jack each work a day, earn £1, pay 50p tax and have 50p left over. Jenny spends her 50p right away. Jack invests his 50p, waits for it to double, and then spends the resulting £1.
What does the wage tax cost Jenny? Answer: 50% of her consumption (which is down from £1 to 50p). What does it cost Jack? Answer: 50% of his consumption (which is down from £2 to £1). In the absence of a capital gains tax, Jenny and Jack are both being taxed at the same rate. Now add a capital gains tax, let's say 10% - Jenny and Jack each work a day, earn £1, pay 50p tax and have 50p left over. Jenny spends her 50p right away. Jack invests his 50p, waits for it to double, pays a 5p capital gains tax, and is left with 95p to spend. What does the tax code cost Jenny? Answer: 50% of her consumption (which is down from £1 to 50p). What does the tax code cost Jack? Answer: 52.5% of his consumption (which is down from £2 to 95p).
So there you have it: A 50% wage tax, together with a 10% capital gains tax, is equivalent to a 52.5% tax on Jack's income. In fact, you could have achieved exactly the same result by taxing Jack at a 52.5% rate in the first place: He earns £1, you take 52.5% of it, he invests the remaining 47.5p, waits for it to double, and spends the resulting 95p.
Why is this so hard for so many supposedly intelligent people running our country to understand? Just like the above observation, people tend to look for a wealthy businessman with £1 million capital gain on his investment, and they forget that were it not for wage taxes, he would have invested twice as much and earned a £2 million capital gain. In that sense, the capital gain is taxed in advance. Who you want taxed the most is one thing – but there's no room for rational debate about the impact of the tax code, which is a matter of simple arithmetic. The arithmetic shows quite clearly that anyone who pays taxes on capital income is effectively paying at a higher total tax rate than anyone who doesn't.
To be fair, it is awkward suggesting that people who inherit wealth should have the right to lifetime tax-free income, but it's also disingenuous to suggest that people are inheriting this money tax free - they are not. If you inherit £500,000 from your relative - what is being forgot is that your relative paid tax on that £500,000 (let's say 50% for simplicity's sake). As a consequence you inherited £500,000 instead of £1 million, which means you are already paying £500,000 income tax before your capital gains even begins to be taxed.
I must end by saying, when Mr Pomsonby-Smythe leaves his £10 million fortune to his layabout son who has never worked a day in his life, I, as a caring member of society, am quite comfortable with a system that sees over £4.5 million of that money given to the Government and spent on things like health, schools, transport and social services for the elderly. But on the other side of the coin, I dislike the sense of entitlement that Governments feel they have on people's equity, because that equity is the leftovers of a sum that has already been taxed by the Government.
A further issue is that everyone worth, say, £500,000 is not in the same position. In London you can find someone worth half a million who has four children to send to university, high value council tax, and generally high expenditure, and you can find someone else worth half a million who dosses about all day wasting it on drugs, booze and yuppie parties. That's why I think we shouldn't have a blanket threshold - we should assess each situation on a case by case basis. Yes, that will require extra resources for those actuarial studies, but I have an easy way to pay for it – we can do so by drastically reducing the number of MPs and the number of local councillors who are ornaments for every district and county council in the land - that is just pure waste through and through. I think there are at least 250 MPs too many, and 50-60% too many local councillors, all of which are sucking expenses funds out of central services and every district and county council. Let's drastically reduce those, and spend the money on being more resourceful with taxation. There - problem solved.
* Incorporating a tax for consumption tax on top of a tax for earnings is equivalent to raising the tax for earnings, whereas incorporating a tax for capital gains tax or a tax for inheritance on top of a tax for earnings is not equivalent to raising the tax for earnings, since it brings about a disincentive to save.
** Point of note, though, this model relies on indifference curves and therefore applies only to consumption goods, not capital gains, income tax or other non-consumer taxes.

Have you ever held a new fishing bait in your hands and wondered what it might catch? How big are your dreams? I did the other day, a brand new bait. The hooks needed sharpened. By the way, lots of new baits need the hooks sharpened, some of them just plain need better quality hooks, right out of the box. After sharpening all nine hooks on three trebles, I wiped the blood from where I had impaled my fingers, and …Read More »
Huskerland Muskie Hunters
This week I will be talking muskies! Once again I will tell you that I have not been to a meeting of Nebraska's Muskies Inc.

Nebraska Walleye Association
It has been a while since I linked up with the Nebraska Walleye Association (NWA), but we finally got our schedules together. The NWA folks will be hanging out at the LaVista Cabela's all this weekend, and I plan to meet up with them in the meeting room at 1:00 on Sunday. Oh yes, I will have a short PowerPoint presentation: But, most of all I like meeting with Nebraska fishing groups like the NWA just so we can swap …Read More »
Fits and Starts
If you have lived in the great state of Nebraska for any length of time, you know that spring is a frustrating time. It comes in "fits and starts". I laugh at the wild swings in weather, and the wild swings in the mental health of those hoping for warm, sunny days. Ha. We are going to live with this schizophrenia for several weeks yet, might as well make the most of it! For example, in this past week I …Read More »
Boat Safe
I got a reminder from our Boating Law Administrator that this week is the National Association of State Boating Law Administrator's Spring Aboard Campaign to remind folks to complete a boating safety course! Yes, somewhere in my wallet is a boater safety card. . . . If you check the 2018 Boating Guide, right up front, you will find the requirements for operating a motorboat in Nebraska and the boater safety requirements: Many of you will be required to take …Read More »
I believe if you been reading my blog for anytime, you know I am a huge Husker fan! It is in the blood. Yes, I am a fan of any Husker sport. But, as far as just sitting down and watching a sport in which I have no rooting interest for either team, I have always enjoyed college basketball as much as any. I have played a little intramural, church league and pick-up basketball over the years, still do on …Read More »
Sturgeon Identification
I have seen some reports already this early spring of sturgeon being caught, mostly from Nebraska's Missouri River. I am confident a lot of the anglers catching those fish, especially the old "river rats" are very aware of what they are catching and their sturgeon identification. On the other hand, I realize there are new folks learning about new fishing opportunities all the time, and sometimes I worry they may not know what they are catching. There are three species …Read More »

Tweener Time
Let me tell you from the phone calls, e-mails, messages, and "chatter" I have heard this week, I have come to the conclusion that there are a darned lot more people that need to learn how to ice fish! It happens every year, the ice starts melting, we get some open water and warm afternoons, everybody thinks it is time to fish, and then they discover the water is still cold, the fish are hard to catch, and then the …Read More »
A Sandhills Perch Safari
My son and I made it out to the glorious Nebraska sandhills for another ice-fishing trip this past month. I have been swamped with "important" stuff to blog about since then and have not been able to tell you about it. Time to change that. We love ice-fishing Nebraska's sandhill lakes; they truly are some of the best ice-fishing in the country for a variety of species of fish, northern pike, largemouth bass, bluegills, yellow perch, black crappies, we love …Read More »

All Jig shoes come complete with regular straps, but if you need that extra bit of support these straps are for you. The cat collar kit comes with a heel loop which can be added on to the shoe (may require a shoe cobbler to attach if you are not confident with DIY) and the 24"leather strap attaches to the heel loop, and then loops around the high ankle area. This helps to keep the heel in place from slipping up and down, thereby giving the dancer more control.
Product Dimensions: 24" long x 1/2" wide

"Australia is my land. My land . My home. My place, with its big brassy blue summer skies and its scraggy bush. The only home I have known. How grateful I am to my brave ancestors who were forced by the "Famine" and poverty to risk their children on the many months voyage.
Into what? A place as alien and unknown to them as would Mars be to us. But make it home they did. This strange land where creatures hopped instead of running and suckled young on teats hidden inside their pouches all the while gestating the next generation. This strange land where the seasons were all reversed with long hot droughts broken only by years of flooding became home. They adapted to its vagaries although many didn't and wet mad, went back to the famine or just gave up. Australia is the largest island continent on earth with its hundreds of tribes. Tribes many as different to the other as are the Greeks to the Swedish; the Germans to the Egyptians. Breathtaking differences as marked as those tribes tall and thin in the North West to the shorter thickset people of the east coast, to the lost Tasmanian people who were different again and onto the lost tribes of the Gympie, reported by farmers in the 1880's to have been small and fine like pygmies and who spoke like the bushmen of the Kalahari. These were exterminated by the taller tribes around them; tribes who were then almost destroyed by the new white tribes. Then the unknown tribes as featured in a book called Lost tribes of the Kimberley" (Ian Wilson), who's art the local aborigines in the late 1800's said was not theirs but from even earlier people, unknown to them. From out of Asia, from Southern India, from Indonesia, from Polynesia and from Africa over the thousands of years came wave after wave of the tribes that make up Australia, each wave pushing the other one down and eastward; each invasion as savage as the ones before and then settling into the rhythm this land by its spirit settles on those who are here long enough.
Then the invasions from England, just by 'days-luck', (ahead of the French much to La Perousse's disappointment) came under the cruel orders of English law - hard hearted judges, parliamentarians, bureaucrats and soldiers bringing in the slave ships of convicts; the dispossessed and the starving – indentured servants as were my ancestors, an invasion more cruel than those previous as the new tribes had guns and technology unknown to the people who were in the road. But the land is settling its spirit on the invaded and invaders as O'Brien's, Murphy's Smith's, Pearson's, Bonner's and O'Shane's have as much Irish, Scots, Welsh and English ancestry as they do the blood of the invaded.
I listen to Noel Pearson talk, read his words and I see the unique spirit of Australia in him. His call for the cringe to be over, for half his people – his aboriginal part to stand tall and not settle for the handouts of political correctness which have shackled the people more than any gun or government reservation ever did. This thinking will in my mind lead to true healing – to standing tall.
Australia can be felt for me as a haze which descends like a warm mantle over my shoulders. I am Australian. I have no other home, no other loyalty. My child-feet dug in the dry soil, stumbled over the cool evening grass, looked up at the black velvet sky to stars unique only to my homeland. Australia is unique. Not better nor worse – just different. I could no more imagine living under a small sky space, narrow rooms and streets or mountains blocking out the light as "home" than no doubt my ancestors could when they first walked down the gangway and felt Australia under their feet.
We are a country where the mixing of the tribes can be achieved in the fullness of time, as the edges are melted from the narrow, the wounded, the vicious, the hungry, the prejudiced and the hate filled – all in the fullness of time and nothing mankind can do in all our arrogance will change the power of that unique spirit. This can't be forced by law nor pressure but will flow as easily and slowly as the rivers over the great divide flow, as the seasons of extremes meld one into another. Australia if listened to and felt has this "laid back" effect if we only listen and feel."

Nice work. I particularly picked up on that we have no allegiance to another country. We acknowledge where our personal history was, but we know nothing else but being Australian.

That's a powerful and well written piece, dear Therese, and I thoroughly enjoyed the read - you should do more like this, I am sure you could publish it to a much wider audience (and get paid for the trouble)!

I agree with Shrinky, you write beautifully. A lot of the stuff of yours that I have read has stayed with me, the sure sign of a great writer, especially the story of Don and the burning off.

Andrew thats about it - I read a book written by Rev Ted Noffs (do you remember from the Wayside CHapel in Kings cross)he was outside religion and organised philosophy and wrote that Australia had its own spirituality ...found this quote of his ""Every one of us must be alert and alive to the fact that no one knows when their life is to be touched by whatever force it is that operates in the universe. I believe it is there all the time and takes hold of a man's mind or a woman's mind, their heart and spirit, and transforms them into something they never dreamt they were capable of being. That's the story of history. Nobody can be pessimistic. Nobody can say it is the end. Nobody can say the world is doomed. Nobody can say this man or this woman is a write off."
he influenced don and I markedly in the 1980's

Thanks Shrinky - I have so much written but its all over the place - one day will put it together and self publish (when I win the lottery!!)Have just joined a creative writing group down in my new home - I need the discipline -haven't written much at all since Don was killed apart from the book. It will come back one day I guess

Foxy - thank you - have been a bit slack but also am aware of sneaky rellos pulling my every word apart in their orgy of vicarious living - they make me sick because they have stopped so much that i wanted to write

Give Together is live! And our opening feature issue is Education.
We have three projects that significantly help both teachers and students internationally move towards a brighter future. Give Together today, choosing your favorite project and pooling your contributions with others who share your same interests.
Here is an introduction to our featured projects:
Empower Burmese Women to Become Effective Teachers
Educational Empowerment supports education in SE Asia, especially in Myanmar. A third of children in the country are unable to access education at all, and 70% of those who do never move beyond primary school. Educational Empowerment has made it their goal to fix this deficit by providing training and educational materials to teachers (90% of whom are women) in poverty stricken communities in Myanmar.
This project not only enhances the education of young children, providing them greater opportunities in the future, but it also empowers the women who teach, allowing them to be more effective in the classroom, and prepare them better for their careers. Both teachers and children face poverty and unequal opportunity. The $250 fundraising goal for Educational Empowerment will purchase the necessary materials to contribute to the essential development of primary school children, and allow their teachers to become confident role models.
Providing Play-Powered Lanterns for Rural Students in Ghana
Empower Playgrounds, Inc. is an innovative company that installs playground equipment for schools in Ghana, which charge special lanterns that students can take home with them after school to study. In most villages in Ghana, there isn't a reliable source of power. The village of Ahiatroga, is no different. This makes it difficult for students to continue their education outside of the classroom, which is essential for increasing the quality of their education.
The $500 fundraising goal will install a merry-go-round for Ahiatroga's school, charging portable LED lanterns for students to take home and study with. Empower Playgrounds, Inc. has already installed 40 of these innovative merry-go-rounds, benefitting almost 10,000 students in Ghana. Donate today, and add the students of Ahiatroga to this growing number.
Fund the Education of Underserved Students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math
The Technology Access Foundation (TAF) is an organization in King County, Washington, that is working on improving the STEM education for communities of color, better equipping underserved students to enter college, and helping them pursue careers in fields of science and technology. Their summer program provides camps focused on a number of topics, such as robotics, aviation and design. The students attend a field trip, and present their work at the end of the session.
The fundraising goal of 2 scholarships at $350 will allow some of the highest need students from White Center Washington, where as many as 82% of students qualify for free or reduced lunches, to have an in-depth, and hands on experience with a STEM field of their interest. The summer program will supplement their education, preparing them for college and science and tech based career.
Donate today, and use Give Together to pick one of these organizations and improve education worldwide!

Diablo Valley Insurance is a high service level experience. As a new customer who has done business with most of the major carriers, I can say that DVIA is second to none with customer service. This starts at the top - Jon Oldfather, CEO/Owner takes great pride in customer service and demonstrates this with his personal involvement and follow up. Stephen Oldfather is our representative, and we were extremely pleased with our recent home purchase and Stephen's level of engagement to ensure we could get into this dream home. We can sleep well at night, knowing the Oldfathers are on the wall. These guys are a 'must have' on our personal team - you can't go wrong here.
I am very happy with the service, attention to detail, and friendly interactions that I've always had with the staff at Diablo Valley Insurance. Marci is especially helpful and always willing to answer questions, provide documents, quote changes or new coverage, or to make policy updates, as quickly as possible; and she is an absolute joy to work with.
The rest of the staff is also helpful and proactive whenever I call, and I've always received prompt attention, even when our personal agent is not immediately available. I recommend Diablo Valley with the utmost confidence in their ability and willingness to go the extra mile to provide awesome service.
I have worked with Diablo Valley Insurance since 1992. Through all these years, they have been an excellent advisor in helping me with my business insurance needs as well as my personal insurance needs. If there is a claim or question that needs to be taken care of, Jon and Rebecca are right on top of it. They are an asset to my family run company and it's great to have their help.
Our experience with Diablo Valley Insurance Agency has been fantastic! We have been doing business with them for the past seventeen years. They hold all of our homeowners, auto and boat policies. The staff at DVIA is incredibly helpful and courteous. Whenever we call with any type of question or concern they are able to answer it immediately. They have given us the best rates possible and will do anything to insure that we are happy and satisfied customers.
I have been with Farmers for many years, but due to some changes in my life, I had to look for new auto insurance carrier. Josh Young was so prompt and was able to get me a quote and save me almost $1,000 a year on my insurance in a matter of 30 minutes! The service was outstanding and I would highly recommend his services.
I have been meaning to take time to share how delightful it is to work together. Your consistent level of detail-oriented and prompt support clearly surpasses any potential "competition." It is particularly helpful at an organizational level that you both anticipate and plan well in advance of insurance expiry dates. Thank you for taking sufficient time for a detailed read of our many requests for certificates of insurance. Eliminating the "do-overs" has surely helped maintain sanity with all these certificates. I took a look at it appears that in the calendar year 2014: we requested approximately 108 certificates. Thank you so much for helping us to keep it all straight! I look forward to another year working together.
First class organization! I am a start up in Walnut Creek with Diablo Paper Shredding and Ted and the rest of Diablo Valley Insurance were very accommodating and they really know their insurance. They stay in touch and walk you through the entire process. Highly recommended!
This insurance company is a real find, both with regards to quotes and prices and the complete sense of teamwork with their agents. I recently shifted my insurance portfolio to Diablo Valley Insurance Agency… I have only the highest praise for my dealings with this insurance company and the individuals I've had contact with, not to mentions their quotes are the best. This is truly a client friendly agency; my only regret is I didn't discover them sooner.
The company I work for has used Diablo Valley Insurance Agency for quite some time now. Our super star agent is Melissa. I highly recommend them and her. The line of work we do requires us to constantly add certificate holders/additionally insured. All have to do is shoot an email over, and Melissa takes care of the rest. It's like magic! It's usually done within hours. In fact today, I sent a request at 11:16am, and at 12:18pm, Melissa had emailed/updated me and my client. It is so nice not having to worry. I know my requests are handled quickly and thoroughly. Last year we had to make a change to our insurance in order to comply with a customer's requirements, and making that change was easy too. Also, they'll get you great rates.
