Taylor kicks five in big AFL win for Cats
Geelong have snapped a three-game losing streak with a hard-fought victory over the Western Bulldogs at Simonds Stadium.
Geelong's tackling went from disgraceful to demonic in the space of six days as they withstood a blistering third-quarter charge from the Western Bulldogs to claim a 23-point AFL victory at the revamped Simonds Stadium.
Harry Taylor was the unlikely hero up forward on Friday night, the converted defender kicking five goals as the Cats won 16.8 (104) to 12.9 (81).
It was their 11th-straight victory over the Bulldogs, a run stretching back to 2009.
Cats coach Chris Scott had lambasted the Cats for their tackle-shy display in last weekend's round-eight loss to Essendon.
The response was as swift as it was brutal.
By early in the second term, they had already exceeded last weekend's miserable tackle tally of 39.
The figure had risen to an astonishing 134 by the final siren.
"It was a high-tackling game and the conditions lent themselves to that, but a club-record tackle number is obviously very pleasing," said Scott.
"Some people will make the association with effort and that's very hard to argue against.
"But there were some important structural shifts as well.
"It's easy to say 'you tried harder today so you were able to do it' but there was much better structure and method around our work in the contest."
Dynamic duo Patrick Dangerfield (36 disposals and four goals) and Joel Selwood (29 possessions) were both instrumental in much of the home side's best work as the Cats snapped a run of three straight losses.
Dangerfield set the scene early in the first quarter, burying Marcus Bontempelli in a bone-crunching tackle and then kicking truly from 55 metres out.
The 2016 Brownlow medallist kicked an even better goal later in the term on his non-preferred left foot, on the run, while tucked up against the boundary line.
But with Clay Smith kicking two early goals, the Bulldogs led by nine points at quarter-time.
The Cats ramped up the aggression on man and ball to a whole new level in the second term, kicking 5.5 while holding the Bulldogs scoreless.
After eight mostly fruitless weeks, the plan to convert Taylor finally began to pay dividends, with the two-time premiership defender kicking three of the Cats' five second-quarter goals.
Big Cat Tom Hawkins booted the opening goal of the third quarter to push the margin out to 32 points.
It was hard to see where the Bulldogs' next goal was coming from, although it ended up being gifted to them when Sam Menegola dropped a simple mark at the top of the defensive goal square, ending with a major to Jack Repdath.
The Bulldogs then surged away with the last six goals of the third quarter to lead by nine points at the final change.
But the Cats were able to wrest back the momentum in the final term, with Taylor booting a further two goals to finish the night with five.
The Bulldogs' win-loss record slipped to 5-4 and they could drop out of the top eight by the end of the round, depending on other results.

The best move I've ever done was the one to the house we're in now...DH sent me and three month old DS away for the weekend, not a single item packed (I had no idea we were moving). I arrived home two days later to a new house that was 80% unpacked Go team hubby and helpers!
I plan on moving this way every single time now! DH is not as keen on the idea!!

Areca, it sounds like when we moved into this house- I had to work (report writing time, of course so DP did most of it himself, with help from his sister and brother I think. Wish it would happen like that this time!
Well, we signed contracts today, so we're officially 'under contract'... I have 30 days to find us somewhere to live and pack us all up!

Nomsie congratulations on the signing of your contract. We had 2 years of "on the market' with our last place and that was way too much for me. We had a double mortgage for 12 months as a purchaser pull out of the sale.
Does this mean that the purchaser has sold their property and settlement is in 30 days? I asked because you said it was conditional on them selling their property.
The only additional advice I would offer is
- pack up the kids and pets and have them stay with someone the day of the move, get extended family members / friends to assist with moving all your backyard furniture, BBQ, swing sets, toys and garage items as it is easy for them to do without needing your input.
- put your other half in charge of dismantling, moving and reasembling the larger items and then you can concentrate on packing boxes, their placement and unpacking in the new house.
- hire a cleaner and carpet cleaner to clean your old house once you have moved.
- when finished make sure you have a nice cold refreshment or 2 in an esky to enjoy and

Yes, their sale went through earlier than expected, so we signed the papers over a week earlier than the original date!

All Product Details
A blend of autobiography and fiction, the book opens on the day his close friend Pop, a celebrated hunter, leaves Ernest in charge of the safari camp and news arrives of a potential attack from a hostile tribe. Drama continues to build as his wife, Mary, pursues the great black-maned lion that has become her obsession. Spicing his depictions of human longings with sharp humor, Hemingway captures the excitement of big-game hunting and the unparalleled beauty of the scenery -- the green plains covered with gray mist, zebra and gazelle traversing the horizon, cool dark nights broken by the sounds of the hyena's cry.
As the group at camp help Mary track her prize, she and Ernest suffer the "incalculable casualties of marriage," and their attempts to love each other well are marred by cruelty, competition and infidelity. Ernest has become involved with Debba, an African girl whom he supposedly plans to take as a second bride. Increasingly enchanted by the local African community, he struggles between the attraction of these two women and the wildly different cultures they represent.
In "True at First Light, " Hemingway also chronicles his exploits -- sometimes hilarious and sometimes poignant -- among the African men with whom he has become very close, reminisces about encounters with other writers and his days in Paris and Spain and satirizes, among other things, the role of organized religion in Africa. He also muses on the act of writing itself and the author's role in determining the truth. What is fact and what is fiction? This is a question that was posed by Hemingway's readers throughout his career and is one of his principal subjects here.
Equally adept at evoking the singular textures of the landscape, the thrill of the hunt and the complexities of married life, Hemingway weaves a tale that is rich in laughter, beauty and profound insight. "True at First Light" is an extraordinary publishing event -- a breathtaking final work from one of this nation's most beloved and important writers.
1) Hemingway completed just one draft of True at First Light, and after his death it remained under lock and key for decades. Did these circumstances affect the way you read the book? How should True at First Light be judged within Hemingway's complete canon of work? If he had finished writing and editing book himself, in what ways might it have been different?
2) Perhaps the most controversial aspect of True at First Light is Hemingway's purported "marriage" to Debba. Do you believe that this relationship is truthfully rendered, or one of the "fictionalized" elements of this memoir? Could Debba be an amalgamation of a few different women? A metaphor for Hemingway's love of Africa itself?
3) On the surface, Hemingway perpetuates the notion that he and Mary are very happy. They frequently take great pains to reassure one another that they are content. Are they trying to convince themselves they are still in love? If so, why? Is their bickering a sign that they are unhappy, or is this just the way they communicate? Discuss his assertion that "love is a terrible thing...[and] fidelity does not exist nor ever is implied except at the first marriage" (282).
4) Hemingway often mocks the white man's presence in Africa, noting how many are willing to pay inflated prices for an authentic African hunt, and even joking that a Hilton should be built for the comfort of such people. Does Hemingway despise these casual hunters and the changes they bring to Africa? Does he realize that, in the eyes of many, he himself is one of those people? How does he feel about his own role as an outsider in Africa, and the impact of his own presence there? Does he become more aware of it as the novel progresses?
5) The Informer is one of the book's most interesting characters, universally despised by nearly everyone but Hemingway. Why is the author so charitable to the Informer? What does this character represent to Hemingway and to the others at camp? Is the information he gives Hemingway useful in any real way? Discuss Hemingway's observation that the Informer will "betray anyone betrayable" for money (38).
6) Hemingway says, "A writer of fiction is really a congenital liar who invents from his own knowledge or that of other men. I am a writer of fiction and so I am a liar too...I make the truth as I invent it truer than it would be" (100). In what way is Hemingways fiction truer than real life? And if "the truth as [he] invents it is truer than it would be" then why does he call himself a liar? Is a writer of fiction ever obligated to tell the absolute truth? What does Hemingway mean when he says that "in Africa a thing is true at first light and a lie by noon?"
7) Hemingway refers to "having a conscience" about hunting. Is such a thing possible when you are hunting at least partly for sport? Is hunting more noble if you stick to the rules?
8) Reread Hemingway's description of the killing of Mary's lion (179), and the subsequent examination of his body. Does his rendering of the details glorify the violence, sadness, and ultimate indignity of the event -- or the opposite? Compare it to the scene where Hemingway must put down his favorite horse, Old Kite (224). How does this description differ from his descriptions of hunting?
9) Does Mary appreciate how much danger she puts everyone in every day so that she can kill the lion? Why is she so melancholy after she accomplishes her goal? Is she truly disappointed in the way the hunt played out, or is she experiencing a predictable emotional letdown? Does she feel guilty for killing something so beautiful, or feel a true sadness at its destruction?
10) Hemingway laments throughout the narrative that Debba is "losing her impudence." What does he mean by this? Are the changes in Debba a result of her relationship with Hemingway? If Debba is a symbol of Hemingway's desire to truly be a part of Africa, then do the changes in Debba symbolize the changes outsiders like Hemingway are bringing to the land?
11) Debba and Mary are two starkly different women from different worlds. Compare Mary's Nairobi shopping excursion with Debba's shopping trip with Hemingway. What does each trip mean to each woman? How does their individual behavior and attitude express their inherent differences as people? How does Hemingway's love for Debba differ from his love for Mary? Is it possible to be in love with two people at once?
12) While reading True at First Light, it is difficult to know when Hemingway is telling the truth, and when he has fictionalized his story. By altering details and creating new stories, is he proving that writers have the power the blur the line between what is real and what is imaginary -- and sometimes even rewrite history?
13) How does Hemingway use humor to get his point across in True at First Light? Was this book funnier than you expected it to be? How much of it is a parody of Hemingway himself?
14) Discuss Hemingways' choice to be in Kenya at this particular time, given the dangerous political situation. Did the looming danger in the region make the trip more exciting for them? Can you recall any scene where Hemingway himself displays violent tendencies? Does he ever exhibit the mercenary behavior plaguing the region at this time?
15) The Hemingways are in no hurry to leave Africa and go back to their "real world." What are they trying to escape? Is Hemingway hiding from his celebrity, which is mentioned only rarely by those in his hunting group? Both Mary and Hemingway say they wish they could stay in Africa forever. What's stopping them from doing just that?
16) Discuss how Hemingway's new "religion" scorns the organized religions of the world and the Christian missionaries at work in Africa. What are the requirements of his self-made faith? When asked to describe it, Hemingway says "we retain the best of various other sects and tribal law and customs. But we weld them into a whole that all can believe." How is this different from the organized religions he rejects?

Apple previously announced they'd be releasing iOS 4.3 on Friday alongside iPad 2 so take it with a Cupertino-sized grain of salt, however Apple has staggered release days previously to avoid everyone hitting their servers all at once.
