Siberian Huskies and Sled Dog Racing in New Zealand
My current project is a pictorial documentary portraying the emotion, energy, speed, strength, fun and gentleness of these beautiful dogs. Including the connection and love they share with their owners, mushers, and families. Ultimately to be published as a hardcovered pictorial book.
The project will cover the arrival of the first Siberian Huskies to New Zealand in 1977, show the characteristics & beauty of the breed, as well as Sled Dog Racing in New Zealand from its beginnings in the early 1980's to today. It will progress through to portray the diversity of people and dogs that are involved in Sled Dog Racing today.
I have also been given the opportunity to follow a litter of pups from birth to 2 years of age as they develop and mature, attend show events, and train to run in a sled dog race team.
My love for the Siberian Husky began in 2001 when our own little husky puppy came into our lives and was with us for nearly 16 years. Shadow was a tremendous companion, fun, energetic, and true to her breed, a very independent thinker. It is her portrait you see at the top of this page.
I will be living and breathing the life, environment and community that is Siberian Huskies and Sled Dog Racing in New Zealand for the next couple of years. This is an exciting journey that combines 3 of my great loves; the outdoors, the Siberian Husky dog and photography.
Throughout the 2017 and 2018 Sled Dog Racing season I will be attending race meetings in the North Island as well as the Wanaka Sled Dog Festival in the South Island. I am currently a member of the Central Territories Siberian Husky Club (CTSHC) and Ridge Runners Sled Dog Racing Club (RRSDRC). My goal is to connect with other clubs around New Zealand to broaden the coverage of the project, so that it represent the whole of New Zealand.
Images for the documentary book will cover home life, training, equipment, racing, showing, transport and much, much more. The intention is to represent all aspects of Siberian Husky life and Sled Dog Racing in New Zealand. For historical images, I will be looking to connect with people who were part of the community when it all began.

Dear Visitors,
I cannot hope to adequately convey with my words alone how exciting it is to be the 13th Head of The Agnes Irwin School, a historic and pioneering institution with an outstanding legacy of achievement. (See Convocation Video.)
Nearly 150 years of success, the vision and innovation of twelve Heads of School, a thousand exemplar educators and dedicated staff, the bounty and treasure of hundreds of benefactors forged in the crucible of time to create the Agnes Irwin we see—a place where our mission is realized: to empower girls to learn, to lead and to live a legacy.
Agnes Irwin is impressive from any perspective—from exquisite new space for athletics, student life and innovation to the embrace of interdisciplinary teaching and learning and ample opportunities for leadership at all grade levels. The Center for the Advancement of Girls has brought important new programs and partnerships to Agnes Irwin that are distinguishing the School as a preeminent national leader in girls' education.
I enthusiastically invite you to come experience Agnes Irwin for yourself with a visit to our campus. Come see our classrooms in action, meet our students and talk with our faculty and staff. I guarantee you will be impressed by what you discover -- the value of an Agnes Irwin education. (See Wendy's Bio.)

Arachnoid cysts are cerebrospinal fluid covered by arachnoidal cells. They develop at the base of the skull, the surface of the brain, or on the arachnoid membrane. In rare cases, arachnoid cysts may also form on the spinal cord.
Arachnoid cysts usually are located in the skull, brain, and rarely, in the spinal cord.
The arachnoid cysts can grow to a large size if they continue to retain cerebrospinal fluid. In more extreme cases the cysts' size may cause the head to change shape or may displace the surrounding lobes of the brain.
Three different membranes make up the protective covering that envelops the central nervous system (the meninges). These layers, beginning with the most external, are the:
Cerebrospinal fluid is mainly contained between the arachnoid layer and pia mater. An arachnoid cyst forms when the layers of the arachnoid membrane split apart and become filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
Common symptoms of arachnoid cysts include:
The preferred surgical treatment at UPMC for arachnoid cysts is through small openings at the side of the skull. Doctors open (fenestrate) the cyst with the help of endoscopes in this minimally invasive procedure.
At UPMC, the preferred surgical treatment for certain arachnoid cysts of the skull base is the Endoscopic Endonasal Approach (EEA). This innovative, minimally invasive treatment technique uses the nose and nasal cavities as natural corridors to access hard-to-reach or previously inoperable tumors.
Benefits of EEA include:
To diagnose an arachnoid cyst, your doctor may ask you about any symptoms you're experiencing, perform a physical exam, and order imaging tests.
Symptoms depend on the size and location of the cyst. Very small cysts may not cause any symptoms at all and may be discovered during an unrelated exam.
Larger sized arachnoid cysts can cause a variety of neurologic symptoms, including:
Doctors usually identify larger cysts with symptoms by imaging studies as part of a neurologic exam.
MRI is the preferred technique because these scans can reveal fluid-filled cysts as distinct from other types of cysts.
Some doctors prefer to treat only symptomatic arachnoid cysts. Others advocate treatment for asymptomatic cysts to prevent the possibility of future damage.
Within these groups, some doctors focus their treatment on alleviation of the symptoms, while others recommend surgery.
The goals of surgery are to drain the cyst and prevent it from refilling.
To prevent the cyst from refilling, doctors remove the outer membrane of the cyst or open a small window on the cyst (fenestrating the capsule) to create wide communications with the normal surrounding subarachnoid space.
Certain arachnoid cysts of the skull base, such as sellar and suprasellar cysts, can be accessed directly using the Endoscopic Endonasal Approach (EEA).
This state-of-the-art, minimally invasive treatment approach allows surgeons to access the tumor through the natural corridor of the nose, without making an open incision. Surgeons then remove the cyst through the nose and nasal cavities.
EEA surgery offers the benefits of no incisions to heal, no disfigurement, and a faster recovery time.

Whenever we discuss religious liberty and evolving jurisprudence on gay rights, we hear the familiar refrain: nobody is going to make a church marry a same-sex couple, so there is no real conflict, outside of the fraidy-cat imaginations of religious conservatives.
Well, Commonweal, as many of you know, is the leading liberal Catholic magazine, and it has just published an essay by Notre Dame law professor Richard Garnett explaining how there really is an emerging threat to religious liberty from all this. Excerpts:
I worry, though, that—as the editors of Commonweal have observed ("Protecting Religious Freedom," July 29, 2011)—the dangers to religious freedom posed by the legal redefinition of marriage are real and that "disentanglement" is not a stable or feasible response to these dangers.
In an important 2008 volume called Same-Sex Marriage and Religious Liberty: Emerging Conflicts, an ideologically diverse collection of scholars identified carefully the many "potential church-state conflicts" that have been and will be "triggered by redefining legal marriage." Again, these conflicts need not involve direct regulation of sacraments or rituals in order to challenge, threaten, or undermine believers' and communities' religious liberty. Instead, what is likely to happen—what is already happening, in fact—is that these conflicts will erupt and play out not within religious communities themselves but in the sphere of civil society, where they will involve, for example, requirements for professional licensing and accreditation, limits on religiously inspired expression and advocacy regarding marriage in public education and employment, conditions on otherwise generally available public benefits or on cooperation between governments and religious social-welfare agencies, expansions of the wide range of antidiscrimination laws and conscientious objections to those laws' application, and attacks on the charitable and tax-exempt status of religious entities that adhere in their practices and teaching to the traditional view of marriage.
Garnett zeroes in on Justice Kennedy's language in his DOMA ruling, which characterizes DOMA defenders as motivated by hatred and a desire to "humiliate" same-sex couples. The professor senses that this kind of thinking — that is, holding that bigotry is the only reason to privilege traditional marriage — is bound to have an affect on the way we think about and practice religious liberty:
It is easier to respect religious freedom in law and policy when everyone agrees or when governments do not do very much. With disagreement and regulation, however, inevitably comes conflict between religious commitments and legal requirements and, when it comes, the majority tends to take care of itself. What about the rest? In a constitutional democracy like ours, we are generally willing to absorb some costs and suffer some inconveniences in order to accommodate the invocation of rights by dissenting or idiosyncratic minorities, especially when the majority thinks that it has a stake in those rights. For example, America still takes a robustly libertarian approach to the freedom of speech, and protects offensive and worthless expression to an anomalous extent, because most Americans still think that protecting misuses and abuses of the right is "worth it."
However, as religious liberty increasingly comes to be seen as something clung to by a few rather than cherished and exercised by many, as religious traditions and teachings start to strike many as the expensive and even dangerous concerns of quirky, alien margin-dwellers, and as the "benefits" of allowing religious believers' objections or religious institutions' independence to stand in the way of the majority's preferred policies begin to look more like extractions by small special-interest groups than broadly shared public goods, we should expect increasing doubts about whether religious liberty is really "worth it." We should be concerned that the characterization by the majority in Windsor of DOMA's purpose and of the motives of the overwhelming and bipartisan majority of legislators that supported it reflects a view that those states—and religious communities—that reject the redefinition of marriage are best regarded as backward and bigoted, unworthy of respect. Such a view is not likely to generate compromise or accommodation and so it poses a serious challenge to religious freedom.
Hence the Law Of Merited Impossibility:
The Law Of Merited Impossibility is an epistemological construct governing the paradoxical way overclass opinion makers frame the discourse about the clash between religious liberty and gay civil rights. It is best summed up by the phrase, "It's a complete absurdity to believe that Christians will suffer a single thing from the expansion of gay rights, and boy, do they deserve what they're going to get."

Book Blitz: Hexed Hearts by Becca Vincenza
Hexed Hearts by Becca Vincenza
Publication date: April 2015
Genres: New Adult, Paranormal
Colette had known all her life that she was half human and half werewolf. She had no expectations of a life filled with love and adventure.
Everything changed on her 21st birthday. A curse casted by witches centuries ago set things in motion, things she could have never imagined. A past that Colette has no clue about has come back to steal her away.
When Hunter, her destined but very unexpected mate, arrives, she is at a complete loss. She must learn to forget an old love and how to make room for a new love.
The curse is being recast and Colette must stop it in order to save the wolves, all the while finding who she really is.
Hunter tight black pants. I could see the contours of his strong, thick thighs. My eyes trailed up he was wearing the gray shirt that I had stolen from him when he left.
Hunter leaned against his motorcycle. He held bulky black helmet with an open face. When I looked up at his eyes, I saw the smile there.
"No. No way," I stuttered and backed away from him. While my tone was light, a touch of fear and excitement rushed through me.
"Yes," Hunter moved quickly and stood in front of me in the matter of seconds.
"This is pay back, isn't it?"
"I thought all girls had a motorcycle fetish? Hoping for that bad boy with a bike," Hunter said with a half-smile. He was enjoying this entirely too much.
"No, most girls are stupid and don't realize those things are death traps. And I shudder to think how many bugs will meet their untimely demise in my mouth!"
Hunter raised his eyebrows at me and held the helmet hovering over my head.
"You're part wolf and you're with me. I'm your mate. I'd never do anything that would put you in danger."
"Fine," I grumbled. "Still doesn't solve the bug problem."
Hunter placed the bulky helmet on my head and moved to snap the clasp beneath my chin. I lifted my head up for him. When I looked into his eyes, I saw the contentment in them. His beard was trimmed. For me? How nice. I watched as the lines in his face soften as he worked.
"If you keep looking at me like that I'll never finish."
His eyes flickered up to mine and a blush stole across my cheeks. I was paying too much attention to his lips and I forgot everything else. It felt silly, seeing how much time I'd spent with him, but butterflies took flight in my stomach. My nerves felt like they were on fire.
Becca Vincenza lives in wonderful Michigan. She has a love for Skittles, rainbows, Star Wars, and reading about hot men. When she's not wearing her author hat, she's working to pay off her student loans for her recently acquired English degree.
She recently released the first book in her Rebirth Series and is set to release the second book before the beginning of summer.

Willa McClain had it all, a family that adored each other, the love of an entire town and a future she worked her butt off to get. But all she wanted was the boy with the sad blue eyes and the crooked smile. He was her best friend, her protector and the only one who really understood her.
How could a love like theirs be extinguished?
But nothing ever lasted forever. Damon knew better than anyone how quickly the tides could change. Can he keep his past at bay before it consumes the only light in his dark world? Can he finally tell Willa the truth, or will his fears tear them apart forever?
How could love so strong ever fail?
She beamed, but it didn't go all the way to her eyes like it normally would. There were lingering fingers of shadow along the edges that prickled his attention.
"Does it feel different?" she asked.
He hooked her hair with a finger and dragged them back behind her ear.
"Does what feel different?"
"Us," she whispered. "I feel like it should feel different, but I feel the same."
He hummed quietly, knowing full well what she meant.
"How do you want to feel?"
"Like this," she said immediately, eyes growing urgent. "I love the way I feel when I'm with you. I don't ever want that to change. But I have been so scared for so long that I just … I wasn't expecting to feel exactly how I always felt."
He let his fingers ghost along the elegant curve of her brow, down the lines of her face to the hollow of her cheek. He watched as her eyes closed and her head tilted into the touch.
"How have you always felt?" he wondered, his voice constricting with the band that had tightened around his chest at the simple gesture.
"Loved." Her eyes opened and met his. "Wanted, happy, excited. A little sad."
He felt his muscles stiffen at the confession. "Why sad?"
"Because I know one lifetime with you won't be enough and it kills me." Her eyes bore into his, reflecting the fear she spoke of. "I can't lose you, Damon. I'd never survive."
He kissed her gently on the mouth with one hand lifting up to cup the back of her head. He pulled back a second later before caution could be thrown to the winds and he started something he would be powerless to stop.
"You will never lose me," he promised. "I won't ever let that happen."

When faced with the irrefutable proof she'd been waiting for, Ellie Benton had to make the most important decision of her life—leaving.
Ellie chose to start over in Paris, leaving her broken heart behind with her childhood friend and the only man she'd ever loved—Tyler Stuart.
But even with the huge distance separating them, Ellie couldn't escape him in her dreams. When Tyler walked back into her life and proved to her that everything she "thought" she knew was a lie, Ellie couldn't resist the strong pull that had always existed between them.
Just when it seemed they had it all—friendship, love, and most importantly, each other—challenges neither of them had anticipated threw them into a battle for their own survival.
*Content Warning: intended for mature audiences 18+
I barely had time to turn and see Tyler was walking up behind me before his arms snaked around my waist. His hot breath blew down my neck, and I shivered as his chest pressed against my back.
"I see you're all done in here." He kissed me on my cheek, his mouth warm against my still cold face. "Mmm, you've been outside…without me." His lips were soft and tender as they brushed along my jaw line. I relaxed into him and enjoyed every bit of affection he manifested toward me. Since he'd been back all of my pain and burdens seemed much lighter. I knew right then I could withstand anything the future held for me as long as he was by my side.
"You were asleep." I managed, distracted by the bulge pressing into my lower back. "And I needed some air."
"You think too much, El…" he replied as one of his hands slipped down to the outside of my thigh. "Let me help you relax a little. What do you say?" Sliding his hand back to my waist again, he guided me to turn around to face him.
I nodded, keeping my eyes on him. As I looked into his deep pools of green, everything else seemed to fade into insignificance around us. They were beautiful and they trapped me there. "What's this?" I asked tenderly when I eventually found my voice, as I lightly traced my fingers up and down the length of his arousal. I loved how his expression darkened whenever I touched him there, his hunger coming through clearly.
He raised his hand and moved it slowly up my back before tangling his fingers in my hair. His other arm wound tighter around me and pulled me closer until there was no gap between us. "Oh, I think you very well know what that is, kitty."
Him using the pet name he'd chosen for me when we were kids made me swoon. It always brought back the happy memories of our childhood together. Whether he realized it or not, just hearing it made me feel that much closer to him and sparked my need for intimacy.
I had no idea for how long we stayed like that before he started to inch his mouth closer to mine. All I knew was that however long it was, it wasn't long enough. I wanted to live in that moment forever—just me and him—with nothing and no one to hinder those precious moments we shared.
Holding my breath in anticipation of feeling that sensual contact, I planted my hand on his cheek, closing the distance between us, and then—I was lost. Tyler's mouth ground against mine and my palms began to sweat as the temperature in the room started to climb. When he parted his lips, his hot tongue poked out to trace my bottom lip before it slipped into my mouth to tangle with mine in a searing, tantalizing kiss that left me hungry for more. In that moment we could have been anywhere—outside in the freezing cold, in the middle of a stampede of wild animals or a crowded interstate at rush hour—I didn't care. So long as he kept kissing me.
A needy whimper left my lips when he broke the kiss a couple of minutes later, and I tilted my head back to capture his eyes. He was smiling that mischievous smile again as he looked down at me, and I instantly knew he was up to something.
"Enough now," he said, taking a step back, though his voice was husky and thick with lust.
My sultry, heavy-lidded eyes bugged out in response to his actions and words. "What?"
"I think I'm going to save my energy for tomorrow night." His grin turned up a notch.
"Tomorrow night? What are you talking about?" I shifted from foot to foot, needing to appease the storm that had started deep within my core.
"You'll have to wait and see." He laughed, watching me amused.
"Oh, great job, buddy! Turn me on and then leave me like this." I pouted. "I thought you were going to help me relax?"
"Hmm…maybe a bubble bath with help?" He suggested playfully.
I blinked a couple of times and nodded in agreement, even though every nerve in my body was screaming for the opposite. I wanted him to put that fire out, not a damn bath, but I wasn't going to let him know that. "Your loss," I said as I sashayed toward the bathroom.
Tyler was hot on my trail, so I swiveled around, hands on my hips. "May I join you?" He chuckled under his breath.
"Nice try, Ty. Get out!" I laughed, shutting the door in his face.
"I love you!" he called through the closed door, and I melted against it, my smile so big it made my cheeks hurt.

Discover the new window presentation at the historic Goyard boutique at 233 rue Saint-Honoré in Paris.
True to the playful, dreamlike approach so dear to Goyard, the new presentation visualizes an encounter between contemporary urban transport—skateboarding, and the Goyard world.
The backdrop features both a skate park and Grand Siècle wood panelling, Goyard cases and bags prepare for their summer take off to faraway destinations. Perched on skateboards, they attract the attention and amazement amongst the doggies, who were inspired by artists Pierre Falize and Benjamin Rabier, with their creation of a limited edition poster for Goyard in the roaring twenties.
In a place between tradition and modernity, urban jungles and far-flung horizons, Goyard celebrates every aspect of the journey.

Review: Apple Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 07/25/2011 09:19 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
Techradar posted a review on Apple Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
This eighth release of OS X brings us around 250 new features, many of which are inspired by Apple's mobile-device operating system, iOS. Unlike previous versions of Mac OS, it isn't delivered on a disc (though Lion flash drives are due in August, for £55). Instead, it's purchased, downloaded and installed from the Mac App Store. The App Store was introduced with OS X 10.6.6, so if you're running Leopard or earlier on a Mac that's capable of running Lion, you must install Snow Leopard before upgrading to the latest version of the operating system. But as Snow Leopard only cost £25 and Lion is a penny shy of £21, their combined price is less than half the usual going rate for a Mac OS.NEW LOOK: Mission Control and Launchpad are two of Lion's key featuresTo run Lion, you must have an Intel Mac with a Core 2 Duo, Core-i series or Xeon processor.

I'm super excited to be part of Singapura Dub Club Sunday June 7 at Potato Head Folk. For the first time in Singapore, master Selecta of Mighty Crown COJIE will be playing at the rooftop dub club! It's no secret Mighty Crown, "the Far East Rulaz" have been great inspirations to me as we bring more Reggae to the Lion City.

With the special participation of Dimitar Berbatov, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, the campaign is launched on 20 November - the day when the Convention on the Rights of the Child was signed.

I know as much as anyone how expensive glasses can be. Even with insurance and getting frames that are on sale, the lenses are usually out of this world.
Family Review Network introduced me to EyeBuyDirect.
I had never heard of EyeBuyDirect before. Their glasses start at only $7.95! They have designer glasses that go up over $100, but the majority are under $50!
How does it work?
You're probably wondering how can you possibly choose a pair of glasses that you've never tried on. EASY! EyeBuyDirect has a fun EyeTry option! You just upload a close-up picture of yourself and try on as many pairs of glasses as you'd like!
I had a blast using the EyeTry. I'm pretty sure that I sat there and tried on every pair of glasses that they have! I finally narrowed it down to 2-3 choices and had hubby helped me make the final decision.
Once you've selected your frames, you put in the information about your prescription for the lenses. I just called my eye doctor and they told me that information over the phone. You then have a few different options such as Anti-Scratch and UV Coating.
After you've filled in that information, you're done! It's that easy!
I admit I was worried that I may have messed something up with the prescription, but they're perfect. I wore them for 3 days straight after I got them and could see perfectly. I have even been better about taking my contacts out as much as possible and wearing my glasses.
Buy It
EyeBuyDirect has glasses(including lenses) starting at $7.95.

• How to build a lead generation "framework" and parallel marketing campaigns that will continue to produce leads from real motivated sellers and hungry cash buyers
• How to use "branding" to dominate your market and have sellers begging to do business with you instead of all of the "mom and pop" investors in your area

Instead, you'll suddenly find yourself with your pick of all the best, most profitable deals in your area, which means you'll be able to say goodbye forever to cold-calling, competition and everything else that is unpleasant about finding hot real estate investment deals right now.
So are you tired of chasing unmotivated sellers on Craigslist and scanning FSBO websites, and foreclosure lists that are full of properties that the owners don't even want to sell?
Are you are even more tired of fighting other investors and buyers for the right to pester and irritate these unmotivated sellers?
If so, then it's time you discovered my online AND offline marketing strategies to make more money in your real estate investing business while actually working less.
Simply sign up above to learn how to stop cold-calling and instead start negotiating directly with sellers who want nothing more than to sell you their house at a bargain price as fast as possible.

Diagnosis: Classical Ayurveda Approach
In Ayurveda, attention is paid to the nature and directly observable attributes of the disease process itself and to the pattern of doshic disturbance in the individual. Understanding the disturbance, or "vitiation" of the individual's normal doshic is the essence of Ayurvedic diagnosis and forms the basis for the therapeutic approach.
As has been stated above, in addition to assessing the doshic vitiation, the physician also must understand the tissues affected, the srotas involved, the patient's social circumstances, the emotional tendencies, personality traits, and the general state of the patient's health and life. Clearly, this information gathering demands an extensive interrogation and physical examination which Ayurveda teaches as a two-part approach:
Diagnosis of the patient (Rogipareeksha)
Diagnosis of the disease (Rogapareeksha)
Rogipareeksha: Diagnosis of the Patient
The first of these, rogipareeksha, is the true strength of Ayurvedic diagnosis. It includes the physician's judgment regarding the patient as a whole, his temperament, discipline, habits, digestive capacity, intelligence, hereditary traits, emotional set, finances, support system, desire to heal, and of course his constitutional type. Charaka also described a ten-fold methodology for this aspect of Ayurvedic diagnosis which is still in use today precisely as outlined below:
Ten-fold Ayurvedic Diagnosis (Rogipareeksha)
Constitution (Prakriti).
Doshic Vitiation (Vikriti).
Quality of Tissues (Sara).
Body Compactness (Samhanana).
General Stature and Physical Proportionality (Pramana).
Physical Strength (Vyayama Shakti).
Adaptability (Satmya).
Emotional Balance (Sattva).
Digestive Capacity (Ahara Shakti).
Rate of Aging (Vaya).
Rogapareeksha: Diagnosis of the Disease
The diagnosis of the disease, rogapareeksha, is aimed toward assessing the nature of the disease and is divided into three main activities:
Prashna (Interrogation)
Panchendriyapariksha (Physical examination using the five senses)
Ashtavidhapariksha (Specialized "Eight-fold" Ayurvedic examination). Below in table form:
Ayurvedic Eight-fold Examination (Rogapariksha)
Examination of the complexion
Examination of the eyes
Examination of the speech and voice
Examination of the tongue
Examination of the skin
Examination of the stool
Examination of the urine
Examination of the pulse
These three activities are applied to assess the nature of disease using the following rational and orderly approach. First one identifies the cause(s) of the disease (Nidana). Next, one evaluates the stage of progression of the disease or pathogenesis (Samprapti). This is followed by careful observation of any very early signs of disease (Purvarupa) and the overt symptoms of the manifest disease condition (Rupa). Finally, we derive additional information about the disease from how it responds to therapeutic interventions which are administered, i.e. response to treatment (Upashaya).

A court in Australia has released the identity of a man accused of lighting a fire in the southeastern state of Victoria. Brendan Sokaluk, faces charges of arson causing death, intentionally lighting a bushfire and one count of possessing child pornography. More than 180 people died in Victoria's wildfire crisis and the government has announced details of a national day of mourning.
Brendan Sokaluk, 39, is the only arson suspect to be charged so far since bushfires engulfed Victoria. He chose not to appear in court, where a magistrate revealed his identity. Sokaluk has not entered a plea and will spend the next three months in protective custody until he is back in court.
Other fires are thought to have been started deliberately, including the outbreak that destroyed much of the resort town of Marysville.
Victoria's police chief, Christine Nixon, says investigations continue.
"Look we certainly have beliefs about how the fire started, particularly in the Kilmore fire and we also are working strongly on ranges of evidence around the Marysville fire," said Nixon. "But the teams are working very hard with fire experts to understand what caused these fires and obviously then whether they were intentionally lit."
Survivors are starting to decide whether to rebuild their incinerated homes and businesses or walk away and relocate elsewhere.
Farmer Rod Thomas saw flames more than 11 meters high tear through his cattle ranch near the town of Yea, destroying about 80 percent of the land and many buildings.
He is prepared for what will be a massive rebuilding effort.
"I've spent 11 years sort of turning this place into what was actually a beautiful property. So, I guess what's happened is my clock has been wound back 11 years," he said. "I don't mind. I had a lot of fun doing it but for some people they won't have the energy to do it.'
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has promised to rebuild devastated towns "street by street and brick by brick."
A national day of mourning will be held on Sunday as Australia's remembers this unprecedented disaster which has left scores dead and more than seven thousand people homeless.
Officials say that favorable weather conditions over the next few days should help fire-fighters control eight blazes that still burn out of control in Victoria.

Is 'District 9' cursed at the Oscars?
"District 9" has earned some of the best reviews of the year — an impressive score of 81 at Metacritic.com. Entertainment Weekly calls the film "madly original" and "exciting," Washington Post hails it as "transfixing." "District 9" is also a big box-office smash produced by the emperor of the Oscars, Peter Jackson, whose "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" (2003) tied the Oscar record (11 trophies) set by "Ben-Hur" (1959) and "Titanic" (1997).
So that means "District 9" should do well at the Academy Awards next, right? Especially since there will be 10 slots in the best-picture race instead of the usual five, correct?
Hmmmm, not so fast, fanboys. Keep in mind that this is sci-fi, a genre that's received little Oscar respect historically. Only two sci-fi flicks have ever been nominated for best picture: "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" (1982), "Star Wars" (1977). "E.T." and "Star Wars" are the only two films with Oscar best-picture nominations on Rotten Tomatoes' list of the 20 best-reviewed sci-fi pix of all time. Here's the rundown:
1.) "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" (1982)
2.) "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004)
3.) "Metropolis" (1927)
4.) "Alien" (1979)
5.) "Minority Report" (2002)
6.) "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980)
7.) "Children of Men" (2006)
8.) "The Host" (2007)
9.) "Star Wars" (1977)
10.) "Aliens" (1986)
11.) "The Road Warrior" (1981)
12.) "The Bride of Frankenstein" (1935)
13.) "Galaxy Quest" (1999)
14.) "Brazil" (1985)
15.) "The Terminator" (1984)
16.) "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1956)
17.) "Solaris" (1972)
18.) "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968)
19.) "Frankenstein" (1931)
20.) "Mad Max" (1979)
Lastly, "District 9's" Metacritic score of 81 is quite good, yes, but a number of films have scored better this year: "The Hurt Locker" (94), "Ponyo" (89), "Up" (88), "Star Trek" (83), "Drag Me to Hell" (83) and "The Cove" (82). Its score at RottenTomatoes.com is higher (88 among all critics, 87 among top critics), but there are many more contenders to spring out of the gate in a derby season that hasn't really yet begun.
'District 9' rated a 10 by critics
