Strongest creature in the world
Talking about the strongest creature in the world, many people would definitely think about elephant. The new world record on 23 March 2010 revealed the world strongest creature are rhinoceros bettles. Being the largest living land mammal, you would probably think that a massive elephant is able to carry more weight than a little insect. Yes, without a doubt, elephant can carry a lot more weight than the little bettle, but when talking about propotional strength, rhinoceros bettles are absolutely the winner. They can lift up to 850 times their own weight. u would not believe that if a human had the strength of the rhinoceros bettles, he would be able to lift a 65 ton object. It is virtually impossible! During the mating season, the bettles would have to fight and battle to remove the other to quest for the right to mate. The bettle's ability to resist rivals is measured by how much weight was needed to pull the other male bettle out of his "love tunnel". From the scientist's investigation, they have found that it would take 1141 other bettles to pull a male bettle out of "love tunnel". I am so impressed that how strong a little bettle can be compared to the smartest creature, human.

Response to: The How, Not the Why
Many comments on the article focus on this point - that I'm discounting the contributions of individuals. It's not that I think individual contributors aren't highly talented, or that they did nothing of significance - they certainly did. It's just that there had to be an environment already in place for them to succeed as well as they have.

Learning Koori language
Historically, when it comes to the naming of Australian towns, there have largely been three options; towns named after white male explorers, governors and statesmen, towns or suburbs named after English towns, and towns name after Aboriginal nouns which depict geographical features, flora and fauna.

In Gippsland, despite a treacherous past between European settlers and the Gunai Kurnai people, nearly half of Gippsland towns have aboriginal place names.
Before European settlement derivations of approximately 250 Indigenous languages were spoken across Australia, with 40 languages spoken in Victoria alone.
The nomadic nature of these indigenous tribes resulted in many words and phrases being swapped across the regions and neighbouring territories such as Indonesia.
Since colonisation, many of these languages have been lost.
However in recent years, the infiltration of aboriginal language programs into the local primary school curriculum is helping to preserve localised indigenous language and culture.

350 - No oil pressure at 500rpm idling
I got some new guages in my 74 nova and just got all the tranny work done and some intake problems taken care of. I have a new electric oil pressure guage and it seems to be reading fine. When the car was idling in park I had about 10 psi oil pressure at around 750 rpm. Then once the engine warmed up(guage in head read 180) the car was idling at just over 500 rpm in first gear during rush hour and I had no oil pressure. The needle was resting against the pin. I ended up putting it in park and holding it at about 1200 rpm.
I'm thinking it may be the oil I'm using and my idle being really low but I'm not sure. It was 25 degrees celcius today and I was in rush hour traffic. At 1200 rpm the engine was putting 15-20 psi of oil. I had a really cheap guage in the car last fall but it seemed to be reading about the same. I have a 2000-2500 stall in the car right now. I could easily bump the idle up. I'm a high school student and gas is at 1.13 a litre right now. Don't really enjoy getting 8mpg at that price though. I'd hate to see it after I bumped my idle way up.

Might aswell ask now. What would a safe level be with a warm engine and a cold engine? Stock 350, edelbrock intake and 650 thunder carb. I'm running 10w30 oil right now. I'm thinking of switching to synthetic dynasaur goup.
Idling at about 700 |
I'm not actually sure about the engine. I was told when I bought the car(engine was in the guys garage) that the 350 was rebuilt. I'm really starting to think that it was a spray can rebuild. There were signs the other day of blowby on the rings. Smoke was coming past the breathers.
I'm hoping the engine will last until the end of july. I'm a student but I have july and august off so I can work full time and afford the parts to build up an engine. I was hoping 383 but its looking like 350 with cam. |
I just remembered another discussion on these forums a while ago where people were removing the oilpans on vehicles with the motor still in. Once the oilpan is out it shouldn't be a problem getting the oilpump off and replaced. This should fix the problem shouldn't it?
I'm thinking it would be a weekend project to pull the distributor, take off the motor mounts and jack up the engine so I could take the oilpan off and replace the pump. Does this sound about accurate? I've bought some 20w50 motor oil and I'll use that this week for the mile drive to school and back ever day. I'm hoping I can just replace the oilpump next weekend. Does this sound like something I should do? Would there be any benefit of going to a highflow oilpump and deep pan? |
I had the same problem on a Ford 302. It didn't take long to lock the oil pump up and shear the driveshaft of the pump. Also was told it was newly rebuilt (was complete BS... ). I put a new oil pump in with the engine still installed, and still had the same problem. Defineately time for a rebuild......
I had a 289 years ago with really low oil pressure. Even after new rings and rod/crank bearings. (A basic rebuild done in my garage by me.) It read 0 psi on a cheap gauge but had 5 psi on a good Stewart Warner gauge. I pulled the valve covers and could see oil getting to the rocker arms so I knew it was pumping oil.
When I rebuilt it again later I had the motor line honed and new cam bearings installed. Pressure went up to 25 psi at idle. If the rebuilder did a home rebuild and left the old cam bearing in then that would explain things. |
I'm planning on building up a new engine soon if I can. I'm only hoping to make this thing last until atleast the end of July or the fall. That way I can have a new motor ready.
I figure if I do go out and spend $200 on a deep pan and highflow oil pump it can be swapped to the new motor. Is this a good idea? I will be building up another 350 just with a cam in it. I'm thinking about redoing the cam in this motor aswell in the near future. If I do both shouldn't that solve the oiling problem? I noticed that the engine doesn't seem to be blowing smoke once its warmed up. So the rings shouldn't be too bad. Shouldn't they? |
Thing is the problem isn`t the oil pump`s worn out, the problem is excessive clearences at the rod/main bearings and the cam bearings, a high volume oil pump is only a crutch and it likely won`t help any. For a street engine you don`t need a high volume oil pump as a standard oil pump works fine. The small block chevy oiling system is one of the best oiling systems ever, so a high volume pump on your new build is just wasted power, as it takes more power to drive the higher volume pump. As for your engines condition I wouldn`t worry about it, I would just go to heavier oil and run STP oil treatment, the thicker oil will help somewhat. I used to have a sbc 350 where the gauge went to 0 when the car was at idle and I ran it like that a long time. As long as you don`t hear the rocker arms clattering don`t worry about it.

Love it or hate it, Valve's deployment system "Steam" has been a huge success, despite its shaky start. For those of you that haven't used it, everyone has a unique Steam account that is free to register. From then on in, any game you own, either purchased in a shop or through Steam itself is locked to that username. It never forgets what game you own. Steam itself is a small download, which you can install on as many machines as you like - but you can only be logged in to one at a time.
After logging in, any game that you own is then downloadable and can be run from those machines. For instance, as I tend to play Counter-Strike:Source occasionally, this will generally be installed on all three machines, but I might only have Half-Life 2 installed at home where I have a faster machine. If you happen to have wiped your hard drive, instead of needing a backup or hunting out several DVDs to reinstall, just click the games you want to reinstall and let it do its thing. I'll take a while, but it's damned convenient. This is also an excellent way of making sure your games are always up to date, as many users don't even think about updating their games or drivers. Steam has been so popular that many third-party games developers have decided to use Steam for deployment, as a way of reducing cost – both to them and the end user.
Annoyingly for us, and lucratively for Valve, as new games come out, it constantly reminds you of its existence and even gives you the option to pre-load the game. This means that when it is finally available, the data can be unlocked and you are ready to go. One such game is The Ship. At the minor sum of $19.99, this is cheap enough that many people will just give in to the advertising and buy it. I'd like to say I was one of those people, but I'm lucky enough to have a "special" Steam account that allows me access to every game. So instead, I just had to bide my time until it was available - which don't get me wrong was an equally annoying issue to deal with.
The Ship is not new. It was originally a mod for Half Life 1, which much like Counter-Strike, eventually found its way to the Source engine. This naturally means the graphics are pretty good. There are no real physics involved, but HDR effects are employed. The X850XT powered machine I was using (which happens to be my office machine) coped fine, excluding the minor issues I initially had (probably due to the rather old install of Windows). Just like Counter-Strike, it'll run on anything, it's just a case of how low you want your details to be.
The Ship is a multiplayer game, based on a series of luxurious cruise ships from the early 1900's, owned by a mysterious "Mr X". The décor and clothing wouldn't look out of place on the set of Titanic, and it makes quite a change from camo trousers and balaclavas.
Although you can play in arcade mode, with bots for entertainment, the AI is pretty poor and feels like a bit of a last minute addition to the retail game. Anyone who has just paid for this game is going to want to play it online with real people.
The game itself is actually quite complex and it will take an hour or so before you really get to grips with it. Of all the people on the ship, one of these is your "Quarry" - the person you are targeting to kill. At the same time, you are someone else's target. Kill or be killed? Quite, but your Quarry is not the same person who is hunting you - so even if you manage to take care of business, you are still in danger, and you have no idea who it is.
When the game starts, you have no weapon. But there are several weapons dotted around the ship and there's a small amount of time before the Quarries are dished out, so you can find one. The better you know the map, the quicker you'll be able to get a weapon. There are fire axes in very obvious places - but the score for killing with one of these is lowest. Generally, the blunter the weapon, the more points are available. Weapons vary from golf glubs, rolling pins and pool cues, to revolvers, scalpels and syringes. Just like the clothing, it makes quite a change from M4s and BFGs.

Titanium Utility Ring
No longer are utility rings solely for super heroes. The Titanium Utility Ring ($385) can grant any finger on either hand powers beyond just gripping, pointing, and poking. Like a multi-tool, the 9mm-wide titanium ring sports five blades that fold individually out of the ring — a comb, a straight blade, a bottle opener, a saw, and a serrated blade — letting you handle many situations using no other tool than the one you're already wearing.
(picture from link)
That's an intriguing idea, but for nearly $400, I think I'll pass...
That is all.

Weekend report
It certainly didn't end with a PE ratio of 15 when every other bear market in history ended below 10 and every one of them began from much lower valuation levels (usually with PE ratios about 20-25). This bear market has much bigger excesses to clear than any other bear in history. The rubber band got much further stretched to the upside this time. Normal regression to the mean forces will demand that the bear market should be deeper and more severe than probably any other bear in history.
So I don't think we need to take anyone calling for a new secular bull market in stocks seriously. I think we all know this is about currency debasement, as there is no new technology to drive a new secular bull market yet.
I warned traders that we were about to enter the euphoria phase of the cyclical bull. This is an ending phase by the way. But the end of a bull can span many months and even a year or more, which is why I keep warning the shorts to be patient.
More in the weekend report.

The biggest problem I see on all stock blogs and forums is not that your chosen market (PMs) is going down when it should be going up. The biggest problem is that no one seems to know how to trade stocks. All thought is spent trying to guess which way PMs will move next. Very little thought is spent on the mechanics of trading. This is completely backwards. A good trading system should provide considerable safety and more than one or two opportunities to make a profit. I don't see that around the web. I see an all or nothing attitude and risk that is so far out of whack it is amazing anyone survives.
ReplyDelete Anonymous, not everyone is a trader some have longer investment time frame. Someone I know uses an average down strategy and he is prepared to average down 10 times each time buying larger than the previous. It seems like he is doing very well with his own method.
Today gold action looks good. Need to close above the 50days MAI firmly believe that it is the falling yen that is keeping PMs from rising. Yesterday when the yen bounced, gold/silver bounced nicely too. PMs will turn only when the yen does!
There is a major support at 105-106 area in the $XJY and the yen is almost there. Things should make a strong V-turn as soon as soon as the yen enters this range! And that shall launch the PMs.RepliesBanking on a strong yen isn't a good investment thesis. Tell me why the yen shouldn't be shorted into oblivion other than its technically oversold.
DeleteThe yen can certainly keep on dropping. But I'm afraid that the PMs will stay suppressed for quite a while before they decouple (from yen). And that could be months away!

According to the Trade and Industry Secretary, Alan Johnson, it is now "decision time" on nuclear power. But - in reality - that time has been and gone. And it looks worryingly like the wrong decision has been made. A White Paper on energy published in February 2003 argued that Britain's existing nuclear power stations should be allowed to lapse into obsolescence, and recommended that our future needs should be met by a massive expansion of renewable energies. The report was warmly welcomed by the Prime Minister, who strongly indicated that he would not allow more nuclear power stations to be built in Britain.
So what was the Government doing yesterday launching a three-month public consultation over nuclear power? Why did Mr Johnson ask the Health and Safety Executive to look at the cost and suitability of replacing existing nuclear plants? The answer is that the Prime Minister has changed his mind. He now believes the future for Britain's energy needs is nuclear after all. Yesterday's consultation is simply the final stage of a public relations exercise designed to prepare the ground for a Prime Ministerial volte face on nuclear energy. It is a classic New Labour spin operation.
We do not doubt that Mr Blair has come round to nuclear energy for honourable reasons. The UK is struggling to reduce its carbon emissions. And nuclear power looks - superficially - like one way of achieving that. The Prime Minister also probably has an eye on the long-term security of the UK's energy supplies. With North Sea oil and gas reserves on the verge of running out, Britain will soon be importing up to 80 per cent of our energy. Given the present uncertainty of the supply of gas from Russia and political instability in the Middle East, it seems wise to cultivate another domestic supply.
But building more nuclear power stations is not the answer. The dangers are too great. This is not just because of the risk of accidents, although Chernobyl and Three Mile Island still loom large in the memory. There are clear links between civil and military nuclear programmes. This was North Korea's route to nuclear weapons. If Britain decides to build more nuclear power stations, what moral right will we have to argue that a nation like Iran should not do the same? We must also consider the immense dangers posed by nuclear power's environmental legacy. Radioactive by-products of the fission process must be buried and safeguarded for thousands of years. Nuclear power is also immensely bad value for money. It has always required hefty Government subsidies. There are huge costs in the construction and decommissioning of nuclear plants. Their insurance premiums are also prohibitive.
Opponents of nuclear power must, of course, be wary of coming across as stubbornly rejectionist when it comes to the debate about how to meet Britain's future energy needs. Clean and safe methods of dealing with this problem do exist. Renewable energies like wave and wind power have not yet been properly exploited. And energy conservation could reduce demand significantly. This would require better insulation of houses and offices. It would mean government inducements for people to switch off their lights and demands that producers make their electronic appliances less wasteful. One suspects that the reason we hear so little about such measures from the Government is that they do not have the allure of a grand projet like expanding nuclear energy.
But Britain does not need more nuclear power stations. We need a government that is prepared to engage in the difficult work of tapping greener sources of power and reducing our inexcusable wastage of energy.

How many excuses have you already used this fantasy season? �My sleepers haven�t panned out.� �My best players got hurt.� �I was forced into an auto-draft.� �I�m so busy at work (or school) that I�m never first to the wire.�
You might as well just say �the dog ate my fantasy team.�
Look � I�m not being critical; OK, I am a little. Stop whining � I have. I could have complained bitterly about getting stuck with an auto-draft in the Friends and Family league. But I adjusted those rankings myself � my team was my responsibility.
Trust me � I�ve said my share of those excuses over the years. But the bottom line is simple � your team is only as good as you make it, from draft to season�s end. And that includes being brutally honest � and unemotional � with every single player on your roster.
Honesty � that will test your intestinal fortitude for sure. It has mine.
Sure, it�s hard to only look at the numbers � that�s why I have a sorely underachieving Tomas Kaberle on my Friends and Family roster. I�m still holding out hope that he�ll rebound (or get traded). He�s not droppable and he�s certainly not tradable. So I�m stuck with him. But Anton Babchuk? What have I been thinking? Who cares if his opportunity in Calgary is greater than in Carolina. He has sucked.
Early December is a great time to take stock of your fantasy future. All is not lost. And nothing � even a big lead � is carved in stone.
On November 15, I had 28 points in the Friends and Family league (yah, I already know that sucks but rub it in if you�d like). Wednesday, I had 54.
No more excuses.
Now let�s take a look at who caught my eye this week.
Justin Braun, D, San Jose (0 percent owned) � Who? This guy barely hit the Sharks� top-20 prospect list this season but he�s turning heads now. He got the call last week and was pressed into heavy action Saturday night when the Sharks went down to four defensemen. He didn�t wilt. He didn�t look scared. He simply logged close to 23 minutes of ice time and tallied two assists. He then followed it up with a near 20-minute, one-assist performance Tuesday night and he logged his first goal � a power-play marker � Thursday against Ottawa. He won�t overwhelm anyone with a physical game. But he�s a college product with great offensive instincts who�s hockey smart, skates well and passes with laser-like efficiency. Hmmm� sound like any other Shark you know? He�s no Dan Boyle � not yet anyway. But his resume and tool belt are more than just a little similar to his teammate. The Sharks� blue line has been devastated by injury. I think Braun�s opportunity is now.
Tomas Fleischmann, LW, Colorado (21 percent owned) � Many of us drafted this shifty stickhandler as a legitimate breakout candidate after his amazing 41 points in his first 46 games last season. But the Fleischmann who showed up this year was the same post-Olympic slug who picked up just 11 points in his last 29 games (including an invisible playoffs). Ugh. But things changed in a big way this week with his move to the Mile High City. He�s no longer a third-line option; he�s now the top-line left winger with the great Paul Stastny and aging but still sniping Milan Hejduk. His 60-point potential is now a whole lot closer to reality. Scoop him up before his Friday debut.
Sam Gagner, C, Edmonton (14 percent owned) � Remember the fourth-year theory? Well, Gagner is in that magical season and in his last few games, he�s starting to look like he�s actually about to break out. He stretched his point streak to four games and six points with that goal Thursday night and that shorthanded goal Wednesday night was absolutely filthy. He looked off the defender and Carey Price, and when Price bit on the pass fake, Gagner fired a no-look wrister shelf into an opening no bigger than a Sunkist orange. It�s definitely a candidate for goal of the week. The Oil will finish near the bottom of the league and that means a lot of owners will look past its players. You shouldn�t, at least not right now.
Tom Gilbert, D, Edmonton (3 percent owned) � Two years ago, it took Gilbert 10 games to really get rolling; he finished with 45 points. Last year, he had just 11 of his 31 points in his first 61 games. This year, three points in his first 18 games drove him off just about every fantasy roster. But he has quietly put up five points in the last six games heading into Thursday and is flashing some of the skills we saw two years ago. Will he keep it up? Probably not. But this could be a sign that he�s better than he was the first three-quarters of last year. And in a world where productive fantasy defenders are tough to find, Gilbert might just have sneaky value. Might.
Milan Hejduk, RW, Colorado (72 percent owned) � Count me among the people who downgraded this guy on my preseason list based on those nagging back and knee injuries from last year; man, was I wrong. He�s healthy and looking like the sniper of old, and with the addition of Tomas Fleischmann, he�ll be the prime beneficiary of not one but two elite playmaking linemates. He�s not available on the wire in most active leagues; in fact, his ownership jumped six percent in just a few hours Thursday afternoon. But he might be languishing on an inactive league-mate�s roster. Go ask about him in a trade. He�s worth it.
Alex Pietrangelo, D, St. Louis (20 percent owned) � A lot of you will likely disagree with what I�m about to say but then again, I�m pretty much used to that by now (wink). Eric Johnson is sorely overrated; Carlo Colaiacovo (7 percent owned) and Pietrangelo (15 percent owned) are significantly better offensive (and fantasy) defenders than Mr. Johnson, who might be nothing more than another Jay Bouwmeester. Pietrangelo has four points in his last five games and is showing off the tools that will make him a stud fantasy defender in very short order. He�s a fantastic keeper and right now, he�s more than worthy in single-year leagues.
Brandon Prust, LW, NY Rangers (3 percent owned) � Prust is a Don Cherry special � quick, gritty and physical, and willing to drop the gloves whenever needed. But he�s not just a meathead � he does have talent. Nine of his 14 points last year came in the 26 games he played after arriving in Madison Square. And he has seven in his first 26 with the blueshirts this year. Couple that with the fourth-best penalty total in the league and he�s definitely a guy who can bolster your sin bin position without completely crippling you in the other categories. Just take a look at his last five games � two goals, one assist, plus-2, 11 hits and 19 PIMs. Not bad. Not bad at all.
Kevin Shattenkirk, D, Colorado (26 percent owned) � I�ve talked about him before so I won�t spend much time right now other than to say this � go get him. People are noticing his output � his ownership skyrocketed a whopping 15 percent in just four hours Thursday! And couldn�t you use a guy who�s delivered six points in his last five games and 11 in 13 overall? Right now, I�d rather have this guy than Tomas Kaberle who has 11 (all assists) in 23 games. But I don�t. I�m stuck with the wilting Leaf.
Jeff Tambellini, LW, Vancouver (1 percent owned) � I think this guy has finally taken the word entitlement out of his vocabulary. It�s easy to see how it could have gotten there initially � it�s a vicious combo for a teenager to handle when you�re the child of a former NHLer (and current NHL exec), a Junior A scoring stud, king of the campus at Michigan and a first-round pick by age 19. But he never fulfilled any of his so-called potential and has had a rude awakening to life in the pros. But this recall by the Orcas feels different somehow. He has four goals in nine games and his team is 8-0-1 with him in the lineup. And his speed takes the lightning line of Mason Raymond and Ryan Kesler to mach levels. He always wanted to be a Canuck � it shows. Grab him now.
Alex Tanguay, LW, Calgary (39 percent owned) � There are a lot of adjectives to describe the play of the Flames this season � horrific, abysmal, pathetic� the list is long. But none of those apply to Tangs whose 22 points heading into action Thursday night leads his team. His pace is close to that of his glory years and his chemistry with the resurgent Jarome Iginla is palpable. He�s on a four-game, five-point streak heading into Minny on Friday night and he should definitely be owned in a whole lot more than just over one in three Yahoo! leagues, regardless of format.
Scottie Upshall, RW, Phoenix (3 percent owned) � If only this guy could stay healthy. He suffers from Jack Russell syndrome � you know, little dog with big dog thoughts � and that puts him on the IR way too often. In fact, he�s never managed a full season. Never. His 12 points in 24 games are unimpressive. But take a look at his last three contests � three goals, including a game winner and two helpers � and his eight goals overall. There�s short-term value in this little dawg. Just understand he will � not might � get hurt again.
Antoine Vermette, C, Columbus (22 percent owned) � I�ve officially given up on this guy ever breaking the 70-point barrier � his inconsistency is maddening. But right now, his powerful combination of speed, (lower-body) strength and skill has him on a four-game, seven-point scoring streak. Don�t count on him over the long haul; at least not yet. But short-term, I say stick in the spurs and enjoy a great eight-second ride.
Back to excuses.
We make them every day. And we all know someone who�s never to blame for anything.
But trust me � once you stop making excuses and start adding objectivity to your fantasy game, you�ll be able to skate circles around your league-mates. Their whine will be your opportunity, whether it�s through an impetuous drop or a frustrated trade.
Even if it isn�t, it�s a whole lot of fun to sarcastically toy with your mates on the message board. You might not win your league but you will win the respect of a lot of owners.
Until next week.

Putting People First
The South Australian Government is committed to creating a future criminal justice system that meets community expectations, that protects and supports victims, and that acts quickly and effectively so that offenders face consequences in a timely manner. To do this, reform is required across the entire continuum of the criminal justice system: from police to prisons, victims of crime and witnesses, the legal profession, the judiciary, the courts and the parole board. Transforming Criminal Justice presents bold and brave ideas for reform, considering all the bodies and institutions that are part of the criminal justice system or interact with it. Read more about the initiative.
What's happening right now?
Youth Court legislation commencing 1 January 2017
The Statutes Amendment (Youth Court) Act 2016 commenced on 1 January 2017. The Act makes a number of changes that allow the Youth Court to operate in a more flexible manner. These changes allow magistrates to do more of the work of the Youth Court. The title of the principal judicial officer of the Youth Court has been changed from Senior Judge to Judge.
Read the fact sheet to find out more.
Sentencing Bill 2016
The Sentencing Bill 2016 has been introduced into Parliament, and is due to be considered in 2017. The Bill gives greater guidance to courts on how offenders should be sentenced.
Presently, there is a long list of considerations with no guidance about priority. Under the Bill, a judge or magistrate will have to place public safety first with other factors such as rehabilitation, punishment, publicly denouncing an offender and holding them to account given secondary consideration.
The Sentencing Bill broadens the options available to a court, including creating a new type of sentence – an intensive correction order.
Clarification has been given to court-ordered home detention. A number of offences will be excluded. The exclusion would apply to certain offences, including of a violent or sexual nature if the offender has received a home detention sentence for similar offence in the preceding 5 years. In addition, an offender convicted of major drug offences would not be eligible for court-ordered home detention.
The exclusions are similar to those that apply to suspended sentences.
Read more about the Sentencing Act review.
Summary Procedure (Indictable Offences) Amendment Bill 2016
Following extensive consultation, the Summary Procedure (Indictable Offences) Amendment Bill 2016 has been introduced to Parliament.
The Bill proposes changes to court processes to focus on early resolution and case disclosure. By reducing lengthy delays, the Bill aims to ease the burden on victims of crime and witnesses.
In a fundamental change, both prosecution and defence will be required to prepare case statements so the issues in dispute can be identified earlier.
Following consultation on a draft Bill, the government made changes to ensure compliance mechanisms will apply to both the prosecution and defence and that subpoenas are only issued with the consent of the parties or will be overseen by judicial officers.
The streamlined system aims to make more efficient use of the resources of police, prosecutors and the judiciary and to reduce backlogs in the courts.

Finally done: Beren and Lúthien for Becky Dillon.
13 thoughts on "Beren and Lúthien diptych"
Wow I love the textures on Beren's cloak! Your work always brightens my day lol.
When a saw the sketches ma first thought was something like "aha, so many leaves, she'll have to use green again !". But I see you avoided that… and I must admin this golden forest is gorgeous. It's sweet and bright in the same time. I love it !
I just wrote up my description of this for my next monthly Tolkien Transactions and thought I'd share it here as well:
"One of the few (if not actually the first) pictures of Lúthien or Arwen that manages to convey to me a sense of a greater-than-life beauty. Dolfen manages (in my inexpert opinion) to strike that delicate balance between being too indistinct to convey anything beyond "young female" and being too distinct so that the beholder cannot impose on Lúthien her or his own idea of perfect beauty. Beren, while shabbily clothed, appears to have found a good barber after his months in the wild (one who has left him fashionably stubbled) — but perhaps I should not complain too loudly lest I am accused of envy ;-) "
Beren, the cool vegetarian. XD
- Pingback: Thanksblogging « The Warden's Walk
Wow! What an awesome picture! Well done!
Truly incredible. I look at them daily and know that I hold true beauty in my hands. I can hardly wait to see them on the wall! Vielen vielen VIELEN Dank, Jenny!
They look almost exactly how I imagined them! Thank you so much!

Project by RusticBru | posted 02-22-2007 07:15 PM | 5631 views | 4 times favorited | 13 comments |
With a lot of help from Mother Nature, aspen wood was used in the creation of the chairs and the table base. Weathered wood with inlaid slate create the top of the table. The trestle base support is very difficult to see in this picture, but it has inter-mingled aspen branches to simulate a natural flow.

I've been tweaking my living room mantel yet again. It's one of those spots that I get all decorated up and always think it could have been better so I just keep "messing" with it.
I added a few books, candles, wine corks and a topiary from Hobby Lobby.
I am in need of an WINTER topiary but, in the meantime, we have a GREEN one.:(
The Franklin Stove belonged to my mother.
My sweet son, David, installed the stove and did all the brick work.
I could easily get a really HEAVY heart over it all but I refuse to do so.
We might have a pretty fireplace where we are moving.
If so....WONDERFUL
If not....WONDERFUL
something else even FINER will take it's place.
After all...it's just a THING.
This is the other end of that long mantel...and I am totally in love with this new sign.....
I have no idea why I love this little "$10.99 but half off at HL sign", but I do.
So, ANYway, I worked in the living room on my mantel awhile and then.....
....in the dining room with.....THIS. That's packing tape....and boxes.....and paper....
and more boxes.....
.....and more paper....and dishes....
.....all stacked in the back bedroom.....just waiting to be moved to another house...
and, I will be telling you ALL ABOUT IT when I have the energy to type it...and think about it....and get things straight in my mind....and take photos of our new place....and get
things measured so I can see what furniture goes and what's to be sold...and ....and....and....

Five Kickass Cookbooks That Aren't Regular Cookbooks
Yes, every recipe in this book reads like this. It's wonderful. |
I have a metric junkton of cookbooks in my kitchen, but, there are a few that are my absolute favorites. Some sit on the shelf and have never been opened, while others are so banged up from use that you can barely read the recipes anymore.
And then, there are the cookbooks that are conversation starters. Here are the five cookbooks (well, four and a magazine) from my collection that always get ripped off the shelf when friends come over. They're hilarious, inspiring and they make cooking fun. Which, to me, is the second most important thing about cooking. (After whiskey.)
1) What The F*** Should I Make For Dinner? by Zach Golden
It looks like this:
The recipes are simple, and the author constantly reminds you mid-recipe, "Don't fuck this up."
It looks like this:
Not only is Mission Street Food a great story about a restaurant/charitable organization/food truck, it's also full of some badass recipes like this one:
I appreciate that they always include riffs on the recipes, too.
3) Baby Mix Me A Drink by Lisa Brown
It looks like this:
Part of Lisa Brown's Baby Be Of Use board books series (which includes Baby Make Me Breakfast , Baby Plan My Wedding and Baby Fix My Car), Baby Mix Me A Drink is my favorite gift to give a friend who just had a baby. I keep it with my cookbooks, because it is the most valuable cocktail bible that exists.
4) I Like You: Hospitality Under The Influence by Amy Sedaris
It looks like this (Thanks, Amazon):
I don't have a picture of my own copy of the book, because I keep lending it out. My favorite thing in this book is The "Fuck It" Bucket. The recipe comes from her brother Paul "The Rooster" Sedaris and goes something like this: "Go get a 1 gallon paint pail, fill it with candy, write 'Fuck it Bucket' on it. When shit gets you down, just say 'Fuck it,' and eat some motherfuckin' candy."
Austin Kleon's tumblr. Thanks for having this picture, Austin. My friend's an asshole and she's still borrowing my copy of this book. |
It looks like this:
Lucky Peach is a quarterly magazine from McSweeney's, focused on food and writing. Each issue tackles a single theme and usually includes recipes, art and all kinds of fun essays. In this issue, there was a recipe for a two-minute chocolate mug cake that you make in the microwave, an interview with a lunch lady about what it's like being a lunch lady, an essay by Anthony Bourdain, and these badass illustrations:
If you like things that are great, I promise you'll like these cookbooks (and magazines).

Martin Scorsese is obviously a walking encyclopedia of film and if you stop to ask him about any genre or subject, chances are he's some kind of expert. The Daily Beast did just that, asking the American filmmaker what his favorite horror movies were in time for Halloween and the director put together a list of his "11 Scariest Horror Movies Of All Time." It's a good list, obviously, though we're sort of surprised "Peeping Tom" by his beloved Michael Powell isn't on it.
List below with YouTube clips where applicable. And yes, it's a list released last year, but hey, it's Halloween.
1. "The Haunting" (1963)
You'll notice this Robert Wise-directed horror was on our recent Haunted House films list as well.
2. "Isle of the Dead" (1945)
Directed by Mark Robson, "Isle Of The Dead" is a horror impresario Val Lewton-produced picture for RKO that stars the great Boris Karloff.
3. "The Uninvited" (1944)
Lewis Allen's American supernatural mystery/romance stars Ray Milland and was nominated for a 1945 Academy Award for Best Black and White Cinematography for Charles Lang's camerawork.
4. "The Entity" (1981)
Barbara Hershey is a woman who is tormented and sexually assaulted (raped) by an invisible demon.
5. "Dead Of Night" (1945)
A British compendium horror film made by Ealing Studios; episodes directed by Alberto Cavalcanti, Charles Crichton, Basil Dearden and Robert Hamer. Here's a clip.
6. "The Changeling" (1980)
Peter Medak's haunted house horror starring George C. Scott and Trish Van Devere (Scott's real-life wife) almost made our Haunted House feature list, but then we pulled it last minute. Now we're kicking ourselves as we would have seemed ahead of the curve.
7. "The Shining" (1980)
Of course Kubrick's horror masterpiece has to be on his list. It's incalculably unnerving. The Krzysztof Penderecki soundtrack makes the movie almost unwatchable for this writer, it's so frighteningly creepy.
8. "The Exorcist" (1973)
William Friedkin's 70s horror was the "Jaws" of its time; a total blockbuster. Obviously still terrifying to this day, Ellen Burstyn is superb in it. This and "The Shining" were on an all-time horror list that we put together a few years ago. Special shout-out to Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells on the soundtrack; Friedkin always did have an ear for strange and exotic sounds that would make his films that much more horrifying.
9. "Night Of The Demon" (1957)
The plot of Jacques Tourneur's film revolves around an American professor investigating a satanic cult that is suspected of more than one murder.
Trailer is here
10. "The Innocents" (1961)
Jack Clayton's psychological horror stars Deborah Kerr, Michael Redgrave and Megs Jenkins. And yes, it was on our Haunted House horrors list too.
11. "Psycho" (1960)
Scorsese writes, "Again, it's so familiar that you think: great movie, but it's not so scary anymore. Then you watch it…and quickly start thinking again. The shower…the swamp…the relationship between mother and son—it's extremely disturbing on so many levels. It's also a great work of art."

Open Thread Experiment Grant Desme, OF, Athletics (AFL: Phoenix)Yesterday's stats: Did not play After pounding out 10 homers in his first 12 games, Desme hasn't hit a home run in his last eight games. He's still hitting .370/.457/.802, and I'm not sure there's a prospect generating more debate in baseball right now. I've talked to three scouts this week who saw him at various stages of the season. One saw him at Low-A Kane County, one saw him at High-A Stockton, and one saw him in Arizona. All three had wildly varying opinions on Desme, with projections ranging from never getting to the big leagues to hitting 30 home runs there. We know he has power, we know he has speed, we know he strikes out at a disturbingly high rate, and he's also incredibly streaky. Throw in the age factor because of all the injuries and there are just so many big positives and glaring negatives that it's just plain hard to figure him out. So how about an open thread on the subject? What is Grant Desme four years from now, an All-Star or in Triple-A? Bonus round: Are we even sure he's better than the similarly skilled/tooled

Madge on creativity: 'It's good' to argue
By Dana Flax
Curious about what Madonna looks like in her underwear counts as an essential part of her creative process? Well, luckily for you, Madge opens up in the May issue of Interview (on stands May 11) about her unique form of quality control. Click through for some highlights from the feature, then check out the rest here.
She might be a lover, but she's also a fighter -- for her art:
"I think it's good to get into arguments with people and have them say, 'That sucks' or 'You're crazy' or 'That's cheesy' or 'What do you think of this?' If anything, it helps you understand what you believe in and what you're passionate about and what is s---. I think it's important to have a sounding board."

family member and aidsJan 31, 2006 hello- My family member is currently hospitalized with aids. he has lost alot of weight as a result of a yeast infection in his esophogus. he has an infection in his spinal cord which resulted in the current loss of use of his lower half. i guess my question is, as his family, is there anything we should be or can be doing to help him and is there a chance he could get better? it just seems like so much going on. he is also having trouble with his appetite due to feeling nautious from his medications. if there is any advice or information that you can give on his condition it would be greatly appreciated. sorry for the lenth. thank you in advance and god bless... |
Response from Dr. WohlThe key thing is for his doctors to treat his current conditions including the infections in his spine/brain and esophagus and then to try and get him on potent HIV therapy. Obviously, he is a very sick man. Clearing these infections will hopefully allow him to be able to swallow HIV medications and eat. Nutrition in this case is almost as important as medication. Good luck DW | ||||||||||

wikiHow to Call Ducks
Four Parts:Choosing Your Duck CallLearning Basic Calling TechniqueLearning Particular CallsLearning When, Where, and How to CallCommunity Q&A
A duck call is essentially a musical instrument--a woodwind, in fact--that you blow into to imitate the distinctive sounds that ducks make. Learning duck calls that will entice ducks to land within close range of your position will improve your odds of having a successful hunt. Here are some tips on choosing the right duck call for the right occasion.
Part 1
Choosing Your Duck Call
1Choose between a single-reed or a double-reed call.[1] Typically calls are made with either one reed or two reeds and a wooden, acrylic, or polycarbonate sound chamber that amplifies the sound.
- A single-reed call has a larger range, both in terms of volume and sound control, but is a little more difficult to master in terms of technique. This would be a good option for the advanced (or at least experienced) caller.
- Double reed calls are quieter but easier to control and easier to vary in terms of sound. A double reed will require more breath, but is generally a better option for the beginner. Making accurate sounds is more important than volume and double-reeds have a reliable "sweet spot" that sounds very realistic.
2Select between an acrylic, wooden, or polycarbonate call. While the notable differences are few between the different materials that make up the sound chamber, knowing the subtleties will provide you with a good guide if you're planning on buying and a smart use when you plan to use them.
- Acrylic calls will make a loud, sharp noise. These are useful for open-water and long distances. They're also very easy to take care of, extremely durable, and will stay clean in the elements, but are the most expensive option by far.
- Wooden calls make a soft and mellow tone that some say is more accurate. They're inexpensive, but more difficult to take care of, though they will last for a long time if you do.
- Polycarbonate calls are generally the same price as wooden calls and offer a sound somewhere in between the sharpness of the acrylic call and the softer tone of the wood. They're water-resistant and reliable.
3Consider volume. If you're going to be hunting on open water, or it's particularly windy out, you're going to need a call with a lot of volume. If you're going to hunt from a blind, or with decoys the ducks come right up to, it would be better to have a softer call that offered more finesse in terms of sounds. When you know where you're going to hunt, you can pick a smart call for the job.
- Talk to local hunters and sporting goods dealers to check out available calls and learn about popular varieties.
4Try making a call. Detailed instruction guides are available to guide you through the process of carving a wooden duck call, fitting it with reeds, and tuning it to the proper specifications. This allows you the option of customizing your call and designing it creatively.
- Cheap do-it-yourself kits are also available, but these are often low quality.
Part 2
Learning Basic Calling Technique
1Hold the call properly. Most often, you'll hold the call by the sound chamber, wrapping your fingers around the hole to mute it as you would a harmonica. Conversely, you can hold the call like a cigar between two fingers and mute the end with the palm of your other hand.
2Blow from your diaphragm. To find your diaphragm, cough into your hand. The muscle you use when you cough is the best way of forcing air into the duck call and making the most accurate sound.
- You don't even have to have your mouth open to force the air this way, so practice with your mouth closed. Think of it less like you're blowing a bubble and more like you're trying to get something out of your lungs.
3Control the air with your throat and your mouth. Duck calls are short, repetitive, sharp bursts of sound, not long drones. Practice cutting the air off with your throat, making an oof sound.
- When you're pushing air with your diaphragm, open your lips slightly and put the call up to them. It's a good way to trick yourself into doing it perfectly.
4Put the call between your teeth. If you can make a full "quaCK" sound, cutting off the air in an accurate sounding approximation of a duck's quack, you've got the right technique down.
5Try learning old-time hand-calling technique.[2] Much more difficult than calling with a good duck call, the hand technique is worthwhile to know in situations where your call might be broken or forgotten in the back of the truck. It's also a great way to score points with old-timers.
- To do a hand-call, curl your thumb into your palm and close your fist around it. Next, dip your clenched fist in water to trap some water in the crevice your palm makes. This helps to put an accurate sounding "rattle" in your call. Blow between your thumb and palm, changing the shape by flexing your thumb slightly. This will take lots of practice to get right, but then you'll always be able to call ducks with or without a call.
Part 3
Learning Particular Calls
1Learn the quack. A quack is the most basic kind of duck call. The best-sounding quacks have a definite end sound to them. A beginner will usually make quacks that sound more like qua-qua-qua. Make sure you're cutting the air off with your diaphragm to get the right quaCK sound.
- The lonely hen call is a variation of the quack and is very effective in attracting male ducks who are otherwise wary of duck calls. It is a long, drawn out sound, more like quainCK.
2Use a greeting call the first time you see ducks in the distance. This will consist of about five notes in descending tone with an even, choppy rhythm. The tone should sound something like kanc-kanc-kanc-kanc-kanc.
- Pleading calls attract ducks that are flying overhead. The goal is to sound like a lone duck on the water pleading for other ducks to join it. The first sound is the longest, an attention getter, and the next sounds recall the greeting call: "kaaanc-kanc-kanc-kanc-kanc."
- The "comeback call" sounds a lot like the greeting call and should be used if the greeting call fails. It's the same basic tone, but more staccato, making a single sound: kanC.
3Try a feeding call. Feeding calls are not an often-used call, but are useful in rounding out a series of calls. It's basic tone should sound like: tikki-tukka-tikka
- When using this call, you should vary the volume slightly, starting loud and getting quiet, before building it back up again.
4Only use a hailing call when ducks are far away. Your hailing call should be loud and not too complicated, though live ducks often have more complex hailing calls. Some professional callers think this is an overused call.[3] It sounds like aaaaink-aaaaink-aaaaink and should progressively get quieter.

Learning When, Where, and How to Call
1Use the appropriate call for the occasion. If you're hunting on a small body of water where it's not too windy, choose a duck call that isn't too loud, or you'll scare the ducks. A double-reeded wooden call is perfect for the job. On large bodies of water or when it's windy, you need a loud duck call. An acrylic call would be more appropriate.
- If you only have one call, vary your calls to compensate. Remember: accuracy is the most important thing.
2Call sparingly. Watch the ducks for reactions to your calls. Calls are to be employed when you've spotted a group of ducks flying overhead and you want to attract them to land as close as possible to your position. Calls are most effective when they're used sparingly, and they must be done correctly if you hope to fool the ducks.
- Watch the ducks for their reaction to your calls.[4] If you see them flying over-head and change their direction to your position, don't keep skronking away at full-tilt and risk ruining your cover. Wait for them and see what they do.
- If you're calling more than once in 30 seconds, you're probably calling too much.
3Eliminate other distracting sounds while you're hunting. If you're listening to Waylon on the portable radio super-loud, your whistles will make poor accompaniment.
4Don't call if the ducks seem attracted to your decoys. If you're hunting with decoys and the ducks are clearly attracted to them, don't risk ruining a good opportunity by blowing your lungs out.
5Be patient. Ducks will often swoop around, dive, leave, come back and land several times before they decide to jump in front of your sights. Be consistent, avoid frustration, and wait.
6Practice. Listen to commercial CDs of duck calls. Listen and practice at home or in the car. Also spend time listening to real ducks in the wild. While you're calling, you should be actively listening to the sounds the real ducks are making so you can imitate them in response.
7Clean and tune your duck call after using it.[5] Wooden duck calls especially will need drying out and wiping down after use, so the wood finish won't wear and crack.
- Unscrew the reeds and check to make sure they haven't broken or chipped, which will affect the sound of your calls. If they have, replace them.
- Before you remove the reeds, use a felt-tip pen to mark how far down the reeds are screwed into the call so you can replace them at the same depth. Misaligning the reeds will result in a changed tone and make it difficult to reproduce your calls.
Community Q&A
- Whistles are very successful in calling ducks because it's difficult to do wrong. Be sure to use the whistle for the species of duck you see passing overhead.
