Apparently, a super moon occurs when the moon reaches its closest point to earth and appears much larger than normal (some 30% they say). The red part happens during a lunar eclipse, and the blue moon is when there are two full moons in a month.
Some experts suggest that it is unlikely to see all three events converge again this century, although I have seen conflicting reports on this with suggestions there will be another one in 2028 – but given it last occurred in 1866 I'll try and observe this one and leave it to the experts to argue over the timing of the next one.
I was pondering where to view it from away from the glare of city lights and decided on heading to the World Heritage listed Mungo National Park, south east of Broken Hill.
It has been at least two decades since I last visited the area so I am looking forward to it, although with daytime temperatures getting up to around the 45C mark I doubt I will linger there for too long afterwards. But it is a spectacular area, so I'll play that one by ear and see how the weather is…
The phenomena is due to start on 31 January around 10:30pm (AEDT) and end just after 2:00AM (AEDT) on 1 February…

Yes, it seems I'm a couple of weeks late, but hey, I'm working on leisure time these days…
Janet and I are gearing up for plenty of adventure travel into the Australian Bush and Outback this year and we've dusted the cameras' off to photograph our magnificent country.
Photo's: Baz – The Landy, Outback Australia.
The attraction is the permanent water source of Lawn Hill Creek. During arid times, when other sites where abandoned, this area was like an oasis in the desert for aboriginal people, Australia's first people, who gathered here to camp, fish, and hunt.
Janet, TomO, and I have explored this region previously, but it has drawn us back like a magnet on many occasions, and being in North Queensland I could not resist the lure of another visit, to walk through the country and swim in Lawn Hill Creek.
In the Dreamtime stories of the Waanyi people, "Boodjamulla" is a spiritual person, the creator of all animals.
In the words of the Waanyi people…
"He made all the animals in the Lawn Hill area, and all the billabongs such as the green swamp, and all the bush tucker. Boodjamulla's dreamtime travels started in Waanyi country at Cabbage Tree Spring, up above Riversleigh, giving water to O'Shanassy Creek, Lawn Hill Creek, the Gregory River, Louie Creek and Lilydale Springs.
Waanyi believe that Boodjamulla created these rivers as healing waters – known in Waanyi language as Bougli Water"…
Perhaps for the Waanyi people, the "Bougli Waters" has a different interpretation, but I certainly found the cool spring fed water of Lawn Hill Creek soothing after a day of walking in the gorges and climbing the Constance Range.
As a base for this trip I stayed just outside of the national park at Adels Grove, a private campground that we first visited in the early 1990s. Not much has changed over the years, and that is a good thing.
Adels Grove was declared a 'Miner's Homestead Perpetual Lease' in 1920, being within the Burketown Mineral Field at that time.
According to the history provided by the current owners, Adels Grove lease was purchased by Albert De Lestang, a French botanist, who experimented with the growing of tropical trees and fruits and had in excess of 1,000 trees and sold the fruit to supplement his income.
Tragically, in the early 1950s the 'Grove' and buildings were accidently burnt down. By this time Albert was in his seventies and after loosing everything, including all of his written records, he succumbed to depression and died age 75 at Charters Towers in 1959.
'The Grove' has certainly provided shade and comfort from the heat of the winter sun during my stay, with temperatures reaching up to 36 degrees throughout the day and around 15 degrees at night…
Apart from the rugged and rocky outcrops surrounding the gorge, the country has a prolific amount of wildlife. This includes the Johnstone's crocodile or Freshie as it is usually known, turtles, the olive python, a large variety of birds, and a favourite of ours, the Gilbert Dragon, or Ta-Ta lizard due to the peculiar little wave it gives with its front legs before scampering away.
I managed to photograph some of the wildlife on my walks and at other times, simply sat back and enjoyed the calls of the birds flittering through the trees, and of the birds of prey soaring overhead.
And yes, I did swim with the Freshwater Crocs. Unlike their Saltwater cousins, the Freshie's are generally timid and will leave you alone, if you stay out of their way…!

Wonderfully mysterious is perhaps an odd way to describe Hinchinbrook, but as a kid growing up in the region I always remember thinking of it in this way as we stopped at the local 'pie cart' on the foreshore. A delightful feature of Cardwell that I am pleased to say is still the case today.
Across the water, the island's tall peaks stand proudly, densely covered in tropical rainforest and often shrouded in cloud, giving it a mysterious look. A somewhat enticing look that always excited me as a place made of a 'boy's own adventure' and I daydreamed of what I would find as I devoured my pie. And if I was lucky, another.
They say it is never too late and as I stood on the Cardwell Esplanade this week, eating a pie from the pie-man, I looked out across the Hinchinbrook Passage to that mysterious island with the eyes of a young boy. Excited no less than I was all those years ago I contemplated the walk along the Thorsborne Trail on the eastern seaboard of the island that I was about to embark on.
Would I find my boy's own adventure?
Whilst I am a frequent hiker in the bush and mountains it has been a while since I last strapped on my hiking pack and my fitness levels were showing it, especially after just spending a month in Scotland and England enjoying cream teas and the odd one, or too many, pints of bitter, despite it being warm. Both the beer and the weather!
It is fair to say the waist strap was slightly more extended than usual, but a few days hiking would go some way to sorting that out…
Eagerly, I boarded a small boat that would ferry myself and some other hikers to the island. And under overcast skies we headed towards our drop-off point at Ramsay Bay, situated on the northern part of the island, but not quite at the tip.
We were hopeful of seeing a dugong, sea calf as they are frequently described as we made our way across the shallow passage. Over the past couple of years they have been returning to the area in growing numbers as their natural habitat and food source recovers following the devastating destruction Cyclone Yasi caused in 2011.
Unfortunately, we would not be so lucky to make a sighting on this day.
It is a pleasant boat ride and the skipper, Dean, was keen to point out many of the different landmarks and islands in the area, but before long I was strapping on my pack and walking south on this fantastic adventure.
A comfortable hiking time is four-days and three nights, with camps set at distances sufficient to challenge, but with plenty of time to enjoy the scenery.
My first day was spent hiking from Ramsay Bay, through Nina Bay and an overnight camp at Little Ramsay Bay, which is nestled in the rainforest just behind the beach next to a small lagoon. Before passing Nina Bay I climbed to the top of Nina Peak, a must-do for any visitor to the island. Sitting at the top you get a great sense of the magnitude of the island and a better glimpse of those mountaintops shrouded in cloud and mist.
For this hike I decided to travel light and used a simple bivvy bag and lightweight tarp to shelter from the elements, especially the sandflies that inhabit the island. Whilst a small insect it shows no discrimination in its choice of victim.
The 'Hinchinbrook Hilton' as I called my sleeping arrangements served me well and did the job perfectly.
I also kept meals simple, as I usually do on these types of hikes, dining on a ration of French onion soup and beef jerky, supplemented with dried apricots and mango, and a favourite hiking delicacy of mine, smoked hickory almonds.
There was little risk of me starving and besides I had built up a decent layer of body fat after a few months of inactivity, much like a bear about to go into hibernation!
Water was generally accessible throughout the hike and whilst carrying water-purifying tablets I didn't feel the need to use them all the time, but assessed it depending where I was getting the water. And hey, it is nice to get some fresh, unadulterated drinking water from streams whose origins are in the mountains.
And of course, speaking of water it is sensible to keep in mind that this is crocodile country and they are known to inhabit the island, something I was extremely conscious of as I heard the water lapping onto the beach not far from the 'Hinchinbrook Hilton' on my second night at Zoe Bay.
Departure from my first night's camp on day two was delayed slightly as the National Parks Rangers' had closed the track between Little Ramsay Bay and Zoe Bay the previous day due a 'cool burn' they were conducting of undergrowth nearby to the walking track. I was aware of this in the week leading up to the hike and after they did a quick reconnaissance of the area they reopened the track mid-morning as planned.
The burn had little impact on the walk from Little Ramsay Bay to Zoe Bay.
Leaving Little Ramsay I had to do some rock hopping around the southern end of the beach leading to another beach around the headland before heading into the bush. The track takes you through a number of vegetation types, including dry open forest, rainforest and mangrove swamps and many creek crossings. At times of heavy rain the swamplands and creek crossings would become more challenging.
Continuing south towards Zoe Bay my path took me through a number of palm swamps in tall rainforest between North Zoe Creek and Fan Palm Creek, an area I was able to view earlier on one of the many headlands that I had ascended.
Eventually I found myself on the sands at Zoe Beach and I made way towards the camp situated near the mouth of South Zoe Creek. And let me say, the creek looked inviting, but there were plenty of 'croc' warning signs to indicate swimming here would be a mugs game. Mind you, it was only a short walk up the creek to Zoe Falls, where I enjoyed a refreshing couple of hours swimming in the pristine waters…
I shared the night here with a number of other hiker's enjoying a meal and the camaraderie that is forged from a common interest. And a feature of these campsites is the metal boxes provided for food storage. The island has a large population of native rats and they are known to chew through your backpack to get to your food supply!
The smoke haze from the burn-off provided a spectacular sunset that evening and an equally spectacular sunrise the next morning. And whilst the 'Hinchinbrook Hilton' was serving me well, its size provides an incentive to get up and stretch the body early enough to witness sunrise, the start of another day in paradise…!
My third day of hiking started with a heart-pumping climb up behind Zoe Falls and on to some granite slabs above the falls where you get spectacular views of Zoe Bay. And a note to self, next time fill the water containers at the top of the falls rather than at the bottom!
After crossing numerous creeks on the ascent towards the trail's highest point, which is 260 metres, I was rewarded with great views of the Palm Island Group of islands to the south. I have always marvelled at this island group sparkling in the Coral Sea.
Traversing a variety of terrain I eventually descended to Diamantina Creek where I sat back amongst the trees and listened to the calls of the many species of birds present on the island.
Crossing this creek needs to be done with care as the rocks and boulders can be slippery when wet, and if the water is high and running you would be wise to wait until it subsides. But with the water low I was across and only a short walk to my last camp on the island at Mulligan Falls.
I wasted little time in setting up the 'Hinchinbrook Hilton' in this rainforest setting before making a beeline for the refreshing waters of the falls. This is a beautiful spot to relax and with an early arrival at camp I made the most of it.
There is a restricted area above the falls where you are not permitted to enter due to the slippery nature of the boulders and rock pavements and deaths and serious injuries have occurred here. So it is wise to heed the advice.
But as I relaxed against a rock perfectly molded to the shape of my back I dozed in the warmth as my body tingled from the crystal clear water that washed away the sweat and grime of the day's hike. The only thing missing was a 'Margarita' to refresh the soul…!
And a word of warning, if there is one thing you don't want to forget when visiting Hinchinbrook Island is some form of insect repellant, especially when camping in the midst of the rainforest. This was no more apparent than at Mulligan Falls.
The dawn was welcoming and whilst my sleep was restful when it came, at other times it was punctuated by the sounds of a 'million mozzies' serenading me and all wanting a piece of my flesh.
Such is life in the food chain, I guess…
The pick-up point for my boat ride back to Cardwell was at George Point and was timed to coincide with low tide to assist with the crossing of Mulligan Creek.
Situated on the southern tip of the island George Point overlooks the port of Lucinda and the extremely long jetty that transports sugar grown locally to cargo vessels.
Much of the morning's walk was along the beach at Mulligan Bay and it was with just a touch of trepidation that I crossed Mulligan Creek where it opened to the sea. And not before I walked upstream for a 100 metres, or so, to see if there were any telltale crocodile slide marks on the banks…
Fortunately for me the only 'crocs' present where the ones I was wearing on my feet. Not long after I crossed the creek I found myself humming the tune 'Never Smile at a Crocodile' which made me laugh at myself. Amusement can be very simple, all that is needed is a good sense of imagination, hey!
Before long I was sitting on the sand at George Point reflecting on my 'boy's own adventure' through the eyes of an adult…
…And rest assured it was with no less enthusiasm and excitement than a young boy looking over to the 'Mysterious Island'…
Baz – The Landy, Hinchinbrook Island, Far North Queensland.
Ahead of this week's hike on Hinchinbrook Island I came across one such story as related by a Traditional Owner from the Girramay people. The Girramay come from the lands surrounding Cardwell, in Queensland and this story is common to a number of groups in the region.
A great story to kick-off my hike with!
"An old, old story from long time ago…
Girugarr, we call that bloke the first surveyor, he named all the country, he come from across the sea, we don't know where he came from. He look like man on top and he got long tail like an eel.
Girugarr comes from across the sea and he stop there on Palm Island, his first foot print is there at Mundy Bay.
The earth was hot and when he put his foot down there was a little bit of splash on the mud, it's on a rock over there.
He speaks to the old people there, growls at them, "what are you doing?"
Girugarr comes up the channel.
When he comes through the sea up to Hinchinbrook Island there are no waves in that sea. He finds all the old people cutting a candle nut tree down and he asks them what are they doing.
They're telling him in Guwal, the traditional language, "we are cutting this tree down to find witchetty grub".
In Guwal the tree is called gabura.
The sea was calm.
That gabura tree it stand up tall and when it falls down into the water it creates waves for the first time…"
Thanks to Marcia, a Traditional Owner, for sharing a part of this wonderful dreamtime story from long time ago.
If there are waves on the passage as I cross to Hinchinbrook Island I will be able to reflect on the dreamtime story of the Girramay people – how good is that, hey.

From the top of Mt Ngungun (pronounced "Noo Noo") and from the beach on Moreton Island as the sun slipped below the western horizon, casting a wonderful golden glow over Moreton Bay and providing a beautiful silhouette to Mt Tibrogargan and Mt Beerwah…
Inhabited by Australia's first people for thousands of years the craggy peaks that stand tall over the region are so significant that they are listed as a "landscape of national significance"…
And hey, what a wonderful backdrop for two pelicans as they glided off into the sunset.
Strewth, you wouldn't be dead for quids, hey…!
Photos: Baz – The Landy, South-East Queensland, Australia…
This week I had great pleasure from that feeling when I finally visited Moreton Island, nestled just off the Queensland coast and a 90 minute ferry ride from the Port of Brisbane.
Long sandy beaches, an endless blue sky, and beautiful clear waters to swim in – what a great way for us Aussies' to welcome winter…!
I made my camp, a simple 'swag' under my hiking tarp, in the dunes behind the beach at Comboyuro Point on the northern end of the island.
And all within view of the Glasshouse Mountains, that were wonderfully silhouetted against a setting sun…
But hey, I'll let the photographs tell the story of this Island Jewel, they do it far more justice than words…

According to a recent study, fully 100 percent of adults surveyed believe that the type of liquor they consume—gin or tequila, vodka or scotch—can affect how drunk, and what kind of drunk, they become. (Note: survey respondents consisted wholly of people who sat near me at bars over the past year. My thanks to those who participated.) Everyone I queried was adamant that they, or people they knew (notably husbands), felt or acted differently when they chose to drink one spirit over another. Tequila, for whatever reason, bore the bulk of the opprobrium. "Tequila makes me crazy" was a typical answer, which, perhaps coincidentally, is a line in a Kenny Chesney song.
But when I tried chasing down the physiological reasons for this accepted truth, I ran headlong into a wall of facts. Of all the researchers and academics I asked, fully 100 percent said no, this belief was simply wrong: ethanol is ethanol, and whatever spirit you consume, it's the ethanol that affects you. (I'm talking about hard liquor here. Wine, beer, and spirits may affect drinkers differently, thanks to relative alcoholic strength and the differing rates of absorption by the body. Liqueurs, which contain sugar and various other whatnot, may also affect one differently than straight spirits.)
So, how to bridge the gulf? To start, let's look at the scientific studies. I turned up one from 1984 in which rats were injected with solutions of either cognac, scotch, tequila, vodka, or straight ethanol, and then observed for variations in motor impairment. The idea was that the test might reveal differences in the ways we're affected by trace elements in liquor, called congeners. When a spirit comes out of a still, it's never pure ethanol. Usually 10 or 20 percent consists of other ingredients, including fusel oils and acetaldehyde. The variation in congeners is why rum (which starts as sugar) doesn't taste like whiskey (which starts as grain). But with the inebriated rats, no differences were observed in behavior or rectal temperature. (Don't ask.) Of course, it's hard to discern whether a rat given cognac was more melancholy than a rat who was given vodka.

Al Jazeera reports:
Qatar must end its support for the Palestinian group Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood before ties with other Arab Gulf states could be restored, said Saudi Arabia's foreign minister.
Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates severed diplomatic ties and transport links with Qatar on Monday, accusing it of supporting "extremism".
"We want to see Qatar implement the promises it made a few years back with regard to its support of extremist groups, to its hostile media and interference in affairs of other countries," Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir told reporters in Paris.
"Nobody wants to hurt Qatar. It has to choose whether it must move in one direction or another direction. We took this step with great pain so that it understands that these policies are not sustainable and must change."
Jubeir added that Qatar was undermining the Palestinian Authority and Egypt in its support of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
These are the strongest statements ever made against Hamas by a major Arab country, and the terror group is reeling.
Hamas, reeling, issued a statement saying that Jubeir's statement violated international law:
The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas expressed its deep regret and disapproval of the statement issued by the Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir inciting against Hamas, arguing that it is alien to the positions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which has always been characterized by the support of the cause of our people and the right to struggle.
The movement said in a press statement that these statements represent a shock to our Palestinian people and the Arab and Islamic nation, of which is the Palestinian issue is central, and which sees Hamas as a legitimate resistance against the Zionist occupation, which represents the central enemy of Arab and Islamic movements. Hamas and the forces of the Palestinian resistance are the major defenders of the land of Palestine and the first qiblah (Jerusalem) and the third holiest shrine.
The Movement stressed that the Zionist enemy exploits such statements to commit further violations and crimes against our people and our land and our holy places and the right of Jerusalem and Al Aqsa Mosque.
Jubeir's remarks are in violation of international laws and attitudes of Arab and Islamic people, which emphasizes the right of our people to resistance and the struggle to liberate their land and holy places.
The Hamas brothers call on Saudi Arabia to stop these statements that offend the kingdom and their positions towards the cause of our people and their legitimate rights.
This is fear.
I noted in passing recently that a major pan-Arab newspaper referred to Hamas, flatly, as a terror group. Hamas notices all of this – and none of it looks good for its future.
Turning to Iran for support is not such a clear move because that would cement Hamas' reputation as being an enemy of Sunni Islam, which it claims to represent. Any shred of popular support that Hamas has in the Arab world would disappear if it openly aligns with Iran.
It must be said that a lot of this anti-Hamas rhetoric is a direct result of President Trump's speech in Saudi Arabia last month where he compared Hamas to ISIS, and no one in the Arab world objected.
This is a huge change from only a couple of years ago.
Mahmoud Abbas is taking advantage of this anti-Hamas feeling to collectively punish Gazans for supporting Hamas. He has cut off electricity, medicine, anesthetic and other essentials, to only muted criticism as Gazans suffer – something that would create world headlines if Israel did it. "Human rights organizations" suddenly don't care about Gazans.
Abbas defended his collective punishment policies, saying that they are meant to "end the division."
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.

What is the difference between a CNA, LPN, and RN?
A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) is a health care professional who works under the supervision of Registered Nurses (RN's) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN's) to provide a wide variety of basic hands-on patient care. CNA's perform basic nursing functions such as personal care, taking vital signs, positioning patients, and ambulation.
A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) provides basic bedside nursing care to patients under the direction of a physician or registered nurse. Duties within the scope of practice of an LPN typically include, but are not limited to, provision of basic hygienic and nursing care; measurement of vital signs; basic client assessment; documentation; performance of prescribed medical treatments; administration of prescribed medications; and, performance of non-medicated intravenous therapy and blood withdrawal.
An RN's duties may include everything a CNA and LPN carries out, in addition to administering an IV, assessment of patients, skin care, and the process doctors orders. Furthermore, RN's typically take on management positions such as the Director of Nursing, who is responsible for all nursing duties in the facility.
What happens when my stay at Eastchester Rehabilitation and Health Care Center is over? What options do I have?
Our goal is to rehabilitate you back to your optimal level. For some patients, this allows them to go home and resume daily activities, while others may need a change in their living arrangements in order accommodate their needs. For those that need to explore new living arrangements below are some of the options available to you:
Assisted Living
If you're feeling ready to take the next step in your recovery, Assisted Living is a natural progression. Assisted Living centers (sometimes called Retirement Centers) provide care for seniors who are healthy enough to not require nursing care or rehabilitation therapy, but aren't quite sure if they are ready to transition home alone. Assisted Living centers cater to seniors who want a more "homelike" environment but with the added security of someone to check up on you 24 hours a day. Services typically include medication management, a wide array of activities, transportation to doctor's appointments and outings, furnished rooms, healthy balanced meals, and socialization. Assisted living residences are registered, licensed or certified at the state level, usually by the department of health.
Prior to discharging home, make sure to think about the environment you will be returning to. How many steps do you have to climb? Do you have adaptive equipment to aid in bathing? Who will be providing you groceries and cooking? How will you get to Doctor's appointments or the pharmacy? Can you care for yourself independently? If you can answer each of these questions in the affirmative, you are most likely capable of returning to home independently.
Home Health Care Services
Local agencies and associations may offer services for the senior community still living in a home setting. These services can include friendly visiting, home-delivered meals, personal home care services, senior centers, transportation, financial counseling programs, etc. It is highly recommended that you thoroughly research the vast number of Home Health companies.
Senior Housing
Senior housing is apartment or condominium properties for persons age 55 years or older. Senior housing complexes do not generally provide meals or personal care services to residents but they may offer social activities, transportation or other services. Services will vary depending on size, location, necessity and cost.
Independent Living Communities
Independent living communities are usually large groups of senior housing units. Like senior housing, independent living communities are age- restricted and services are mostly limited, varying from community to community.

Welcome to the Acoustic Room at the Market House
Davis Rogan – New Orleans
Davis Rogan is an American musician and motion picture actor, writer and consultant. He has worked on Tremé in several capacities. He is the inspiration for the major character Davis McAlary. He was a consultant for the series pilot "Do You Know What it Means". He was the piano coach to starring cast members Steve Zahn (who plays Davis McAlary) and Michiel Huisman (who plays Sonny) throughout the first season. His music has featured in the show several times. He also plays himself in the show. He returned as a consultant and recurring co-star for the second season in 2011.
Kris Dollimore – Cornwall
A man, a guitar and a voice. Performing as a solo artist, with his band and with Del Amitri.
During a career in music, spanning four decades, Kris has graced some of the world's greatest stages and has played with Adam Ant as well as The Godfathers The Damned, Dee Dee Ramone, Johnny Thunders. Before the Godfathers,at the tender age of 16 he was a member of The Major Setback Band . Kris joined Del Amitri in June of 1997.
Kris took the decision to perform as a solo artist 11 years ago and has toured relentlessly, travelling the UK and Europe, earning a hard core following of loyal fans. His guitar skills have always been admired, in whichever genre he has played. With largely an acoustic repertoire, a fair portion of that being instrumental, in the vein of John Fahey and Jack Rose, precision playing is expected and delivered.
Harrison Kennedy – Lafayette, Hamilton, Canada
Harrison Kennedy was born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario, before moving to Detroit to join up with the Chairmen, a group started as part of the new Holland-Dozier-Holland label Invictus/Hot Wax.
In the mid-'70s, Kennedy left the group and struck out on a solo career. Over the years he has been able to pull from styles as varied as Funk, Soul, R&B, Folk, Country, and Gospel. Kennedy has been nominated for four Canadian Juno Awards in the blues category.
For the past decade, his recordings have earned Harrison Kennedy many accolades in the business. No less than B.B. King has hailed him as Canada's premier blues performer.
Singing and playing the mandolin, the banjo, the guitar and the harmonica in a mostly acoustic setting, his strong poetic writing and full sense of irony largely contribute to the growing success of this very special blues troubadour.
"He restored my faith in the relevance of simply written, keenly observed, well-played songs from a man now at the top of his game." – Blues & Rhythm Magazine
Cedric Watson – Lafayette, Louisiana
Resident at the Market House for the weekend
One of the most noted young talents to emerge in Cajun or Creole music in the past few years, Cedric Watson is a fiddler, vocalist, accordionist and songwriter of seemingly unlimited potential. Cedric has been making a name for himself reviving old Creole fiddling styles, injecting a healthy dose of his own personality and ingenuity, and bringing them to an ever-broadening audience. All 3 of his CD releases since going on his own have been Grammy-nominated, an indication of the excitement around his emergence as a band leader.
Cedric Watson has played with some of the great family names in Creole music, including Dexter Ardoin and the Creole Ramblers and Jeffrey Broussard and the Creole Cowboys, and most recently was a featured member of the Pine Leaf Boys. He has played across the United States in Europe, Asia, Canada, and the Caribbean, where he has a particularly keen interest in connecting Louisiana Creole music to other Creole cultures.
Moving with ease between fiddle and accordion, and adding his strong blues-inflected vocals, Cedric's creative style and obvious joy in playing make him an engaging and exciting performer.
David King – Dublin
David King is a Dublin folk and blues singer with an E.P entitled "Dig my Own Hole" (2013) and recently released debut album "Ruirteach Blues" (2015). David's early influences range from Led Zepplin & Cream to Bob Dylan and Tim Buckley. Current influences go back to the blues greats such as Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Robert Johnson and Son House.
The Delta and Chicago blues style's delivered with his unique blend of Irish Soul offer up original vocal and guitar styles and create a back beat for the stories in his songs. David performs solo and with the support of his road band known as the "Raging River Band".

Our History
- 2014
Between 2008 and 2014, EMLinQ has continued to witness significant growth. With the additional capacity that derived from the purchase of our brand new Hitachi G4/G5 assembly line, we can service your prototype runs and your high volume requirements in a timely manner. Continuous investment in new and modern equipment allows EMLinQ to reduce cost and help to ensure that our partners compete successfully in their respective market segments. Earlier this year, EMLinQ acquired the assets of a cable assembly business. This has given EMLinQ the ability to provide additional value added services. From a pure business perspective, EMLinQ is pleased to announce the signing of several agreements this year that will further propel our growth in 2014 and onwards.
- 2012
EMLinQ has formed a strategic partnership with one of the foremost contract manufacturers in the world. With this relationship, we are proud to be able to offer our customers a roadmap that covers both technical and volume requirements by spanning all continents.
- 2008
As part of its plan to increase automation and manage labor costs more effectively; EMLinQ embarked on a systematic and ongoing path of equipment purchases. Significant capital investment was made in the company in 2008 and business continued to expand in various market segments.
- 2007
EMLinQ LLC was founded in 2007 on the premise that "MADE in AMERICA" would become increasingly important in the years to come. As Asian manufacturing costs continued to rise, and advanced automation reduced overall labor production costs, more companies would be seeking local sources to help them address a higher degree of market segmentation and personlalization. With time to market becoming critical to the success or failure of product launches, a shorter supply chain was becoming more attractive to companies. With lower cost benefits and overall better quality; on-shore manufacturing would continue to gain momentum for the years to come.

Welcome to our Felt/Denim/Go-Kart Mozart forum. Feel free to post a message.
Just to add my voice to the whole debate, I think it's a shame that Nigel has decided to stop posting on the message board. I appreciate that feelings are running high and I have hesitated to post as I'm not sure that the board will benefit from me chipping in with my two cents worth, but frankly, I miss reading what he has to say.
I was finding his posts fascinating, and it certainly added a bit of excitement to the place. I've only stumbled across the board fairly recently, but its been crucial reading since then, largely as a result of what he has written, and the comments that it has inspired.
I have owned a few Felt releases for many years (just a couple of the EPs on the Creation Soup CDs & the first albums), but recently acquired all 10 of the albums and decided to listen to them through in order. Having listened to all 10 of the albums, it's fair to say that I lean towards the Cherry Red releases more so than the Creation ones (a surprise to myself, being a huge fan of late 80s Creation in general).
I'll happily hold me hands up to being sucked into the myth (for want of a better word) of Lawrence (and have been ever since reading the Dave Cavanagh book about Creation), but am conscious that some of the tales must surely have had an element of exaggeration over the years.
To me, Nigel's posts were a perfect counterbalance to the many stories that fly about. Not to say that I don't enjoy the stories, but it's also good to have something to read that is more grounded. I'm not taking sides, I'm simply saying I enjoy reading all of it.
I hope he reconsiders his decision, and I hope that no-one takes this message as an attempt to kick something off, as it genuinely isn't.
I agree with you Matt. His posts were the only interesting ones on this forum basically.
I agree in the fact that because Lawrence is the only Felt member who has been quoted publicly about the band (save for Nick Gilbert's sleevenotes in "Absolute Classic Masterpieces", the inclusion of which was Lawrence's idea funnily enough) we have only heard one side of the story. It was illuminating to hear those pre-Felt stories. Unfortunately his knee-jerk responses to myself and others on this forum (and the various threads show that he was emotionally involved before I made a post) and personal jibes first at Lawrence and later at me made the situation very much a pros versus cons one - ie the history is lost but people stop getting annoyed and upset. Tough call in the end, but probably the right one.
Hi Matt (and Hi Nigel, if you read this),
I agree with you and the same happened to me, I found this forum recently.
I love Felt and all their work and bought their records 2 and some of them 3 times! And of course I saw them once when they came to a Lisbon concert at Aula Magna in 88.
My favorite Felt work is on first 4 albums and after listening to Inner Thought Zone is easy to understand who the greatest guitar player was and to whom the merit goes. It's easy to see that Poem of the River was a try to be as god as The Splendour of Fear. Still I enjoy all Lawrence work and lyrics. Lawrence recognizes Maurice Deebank importance and writes songs about him… on last Felt album, on last GKM album, that should mean something.
I must say thank you Mr. Maurice Deebank and Mr. Lawrence for the great music and great moments I enjoy listen to your work.
I found Nigel posts just a confirmation on what I listen to for years now, their music!
I don't understand Nigel posts reactions, was anyone hurt? Well, not me.
Don't get me wrong, I never met anyone from Felt, I just listen to all their work. And thank you Mr. Martin Duffy for the great keyboards also!
Nuno (from Portugal)
Dear Nuno:
I will explain to you the reason for a couple of the responses that you dislike. This issue of identity has never been explained. And it was A few days after the last time I came onto this forum that the penny dropped. A forum contributor wanted to claim that I am M.D. Some years ago I left one or two messages on the forum, and it was around that time that a fellow from Manchester called Mohammed contacted me. I do not remember if it was through the forum or via another route, but he explained that a long time ago, he had had communication with M.D., and that he had lost contact, with him. Mohammed was an aspiring musician and was genuinely interested in learning more about his craft from someone that he admired, and in his correspondence, he would ask M.D. for advice. A sort of correspondence course in music if you like. I told Mohammed that I would pass a message and sure enough M.D. said that he remembered him, and was quite pleased that Mohammed had made contact, and said that he would be happy to speak to him. Now, this is where things begin to come together. It was around that time that M.D. had a major and incapacitating health issue, but certainly not one that involves a factory accident, loss of limbs and that has continued to this day. This would account for the story that has come to this forum that we now know of. Obviously Mohammed has said something to someone somewhere – no problem with that. But he story has obviously got distorted like a game of Chinese whispers, and there is no contrivance involved it would seem.
The next point concerns security. Mr. D used to have other communication with other guitarists and musicians, one of whom wanted him to give him lessons in person and teach him how to play his unique style. When it was explained that it was not possible (I do not know the reason why), that same person became aggressive and threatening. This sort of thing does happen. The guitarist in the American metal band Pantera was shot on stage by a mentally ill fan because Dime was starting another band. You can see the video on Youtube. So even though M.D. had had previous contact with Mohammed, he knew the sort of thing that can happen if caution is thrown to the wind, so I suggested that he use my address for the duration. The very fact that this situation has now occurred on this forum shows that he knew what he was doing. (No offence Mohammed, it is nothing personal, and it is not your fault).But clearly even that safeguard has not been enough.
Now obviously Mohammed has said to someone in the Felt camp that M.D. had this connection with me. But whoever it was that was told must equally be aware of this fact that concerns the sharing of an address. So I do not know if it is a case that there has been selective acceptance of certain facts with the rest being excluded for the sake of convenient spurious argument, or it is another example of Chinese whispers. Whichever it is, the fact remains that without full context, there is only ever going to be a false picture that results.
To illustrate further the point I shall invoke the English poet Alexander Pope.
"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing,
Drink deep or drink not the pyerean spring,
Shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
Deeper draughts sober it again."
Sorry but I cannot remember how to spell "Pyerean."
Mohammed, if you are reading this then you are cordially invited onto the forum to correct the mal-interpretation that someone or some people have either intentionally or unintentionally added to something that you initially said in innocence.
You can expect a flood of mocking confutations immediately after this posting goes onto the forum. But nevertheless, I assure you Nuno that what I have said is factual.
But why is there any difficulty where any of this is concerned in any case? I was asked by a follower of this forum to add some insights after my initial post or two. That is all I ever intended; then I was going to disappear into obscurity again. All of this is pretty much academic only. How do I know who all of you are? This is not a T.V. show; it's a forum site. You either accept what is said or you don't. Just leave it if you don't like it. Like Oliver says on the "Foxtrot" site, it's up to you what you want to say about yourself. Personally, if I had a gun-shot wound, I would not be lying on the operating theatre table demanding that the surgeon give me his/her name, life-story and two forms of I.D, before I'll allow them to do what is good for me. Who cares who they are? What is important is what they can do in order to improve your situation. That is what Dave wanted. Others didn't. But that is O.K., either way, because the forum can accommodate an infinite number of people, and an infinite number of comments. One good thing has come out of all of this. It can now be seen that there are different groups of people who want to talk about things in a certain way. An people who have never commented on this site have now joined it and want to express themselves. The point of my message is this: this does not have to be single forum only. There can be a forum within a forum; even a forum within a forum that is within a forum. It is a big place and it can accomodate you all. It is not the case that I have divided the forum. It is simply the case that people are finding where they want to be and with whom they find an attraction (in the strictly non-sexual sense, that is). So if you see soemthing that you like, then join that discussion, and if you feel repelled by something, then leave it alone. There is room for different groups of forum users. This is what I should have done and I realise now that I did not have to try and convert people.I am probably just inexperienced at using forums. When I want to speak to someone I normally just use the phone. So don't make the same mistake as me. Just move on. I've done that now, and I won't interfere again.
And now to my most important point. Do not concern too much about nice little stories. They tantalise, but they are not the best subject matter to discuss; not where Felt is concerned. Now you are all sorted out into and feel comfortable with you want to be with on the forum, you should talk to each other about how it is that Felt music makes you feel, how it affects you and your life - your thoughts and feelings - and how they respond to the music, in other words. Remember what Mr. D. said. He entered music in order to make sense of things. I have found in my experience that repeated exposure to Felt with a critical ear explains things that are meaningful, and I only have my experience to go on. So do not concern get too tied up with who said what and who is who. Felt is a living experience and it is bigger than us all.
By the way, Nuno, I first encountered the name Nuno because of a very good guitarist called, Nuno Bettencourt (I am not sure of the spelling of his second name, but it sounds the way I've written it). As I understand it, he is a Portuguese American. A very very fine player he is as well.
Despite the deep embarrassment that this discussion has caused in me, I so far have been quite reluctant to take part in it, my reasons being a fear of speaking in anyone else's name and my general phobia of discussion forums of all sorts. Although Mr. Silver has proven that he needs no assistance in making his point convincingly, I can conceive that his position within the contention might deprive him of the opportunity to say things that could very well be said by any external observer. Wondering if finding my name in here is an invitation to speak up or not, I will see what I can do. I believe this intervention to be motivated not as much by my interest in the present discussion as by the distressing feeling I have that mistrust is becoming more and more trivialised in this world, affecting people's capacity to communicate with each other. In particular, I have found quite disturbing the facility with which some users of this forum resign themselves to accept ambition and self-interest as satisfying motives for one's actions. I have a comment related to the above-mentioned Foxtrot discussion, elements of which have now disappeared from view. Those thinking that Mr. Silver could be interested in gaining their blessing by queuing at the scanner with his birth certificate might be giving their opinion more importance than necessary. Also his refusal to do so does not really stand as an argument for anything. It was claimed that Mr. Silver had been sent to deliver the truth, not to argue about it. Truths may be ignored but, by definition, can't be contested. Mr. Silver spoke of honesty and dignity and, let's face it, was received with distrust and vanity. Well, this is depressing. With Mr. Silver's last contribution we now have all the pieces to our jigsaw. Still, I like to think that words exist independently of whoever has written them, just like a horse without its pedigree papers remains a horse. Ideally, it would be useful to provide the sceptical among us with scientific evidence for the authority of Mr. Silver on Felt matters. Additionally, it would be interesting to explain others, all politically correct hypocrisy aside, how defamatory suspicions and public slandering can hardly inspire any emotion better than contempt and unsurprisingly lead to bitterness. Though I doubt such efforts would really help in this case. As someone pretty smart once wrote, elegance and dignity are taught by the heart, not by the dancing master. An advice would then be, let us listen to our hearts, listen to our Felt records again, and let our ugly duckling turn into a graceful swan.
I was not going to respond at all, but the forum history shows that Mr Silver was responding in what can at the very least be described as an extremely defensive manner to questions put to him before I even entered this debate - for, lets face it, it was me who first questioned his identity and this is somehow where everything seems to be being directed. I questioned his identity as a challenge - because of course there are several people on here who operate under aliases - fair enough - but by the time I had questioned this he was already insulting myself and others on this forum - and as I said before - it is spineless to insult people under an alias. I did not cause this "bitterness" - it was already well in evidence. Mr Silver made a promise not to return to this forum which he has quickly broken. I'll be making the same one now and sticking to it - as people seem to be defending the indefensible on here. And Olivier - how can asking if he is Maurice Deebank be a "defamatory suspicion"? I would have thought being labelled pathetic, having childish nicknames based upon my surname and having my debates linked in some unconventional matter to the shooting of a member of Pantera is far more defamatory. Goodbye. And to Nigel - the second line of "Something Sends Me To Sleep" springs to mind.
Dear Nigel,
Today I'm very happy, My Maurice Deebank CD arrived directly from Cherry Red Records and I'm having the REAL pleasure of listening to 4 new songs and re-listening those fantastic guitars from 1984!
I think now your entity issue is resolved…
I would love to meet Maurice Deebank, I was also a guitar player (very bad one), but for taking a good Porto wine and not to take guitar lessons, I'm too old now and why take lessons from him when we've his music? I'm very sad that something bad happen to Maurice Deebank, is something like Stephen Hawking? Well, not really important… so many things we cannot answer… who kill JFK? who kidnapped Maddie? Is there ET life? And so on… And that's why everyone has an opinion… Is there any music from Maurice Deebank from 1992 until now or until his major incapacitating health issue?
We're all here, so you didn't divide anyone… And off course Felt is bigger than us all, but also was only a band that in 10 years, produced 10 surprising albums! And that's why I can resist asking Mr. Lee McFadden, are you 10 or 12? Since you maybe something in the middle why not listen to "Study No. 1" from Maurice Deebank as a case study? Did you find the music beautiful and relaxing? Your next post will be better, I'm sure! (I hope you have some English humor).
Unfortunately I'm not Nuno Bettencourt, well, I'm younger, that's a good thing! By the way, Nuno Bettencourt come from Azores Islands and that's a tremendous place to get vacations!
Next I will maybe buy Felt DVD! And try to find some tracks I never listen to, thanks Robert for the great post!
By the way, today was a great beach day, if you feel too much grey above you (vulcan ashes) come to Portugal and you will feel better.

Do the Mollydooker shake By Tim Rutherford, Connect Savannah Aug 28, 2009 – Savannah, Georgia "...I've sampled 2007 Two Left Feet, a blend of 68 percent Shiraz, 17 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 15 percent Merlot. It's a big, bold Australian wine -- but presents with much more balance than its bargain priced cousins. Spice is the key word with this wine -- on the nose, on the palate. A long, elegant finish makes it an enjoyable drinker -- and a beautiful wine for grilled meats or spicy foods. The 2007 Boxer Shiraz teases you with aromas of smoke and pork, then bathes your taste buds with a velvety layer of bramble fruits, blueberry and opulent organic characteristics. Pair this big wine with a bold beef dish, braised lamb shank -- or enjoy it alone." The winemakers suggest doing "The Mollydooker Shake" before enjoying the wines. Here's how…

Jamming in a Hutong in Beijing with Chinese Instruments
Never played unplugged, never played in a hutong in Beijing! We had just one hour to learn how to use the Pipa instrument and the Chinese waist drum but we had a lot of fun rearranging one of our songs (Fashion Slave) and jamming there under the hot and grey sky in Beijing!

BOURNEMOUTH and Poole council chiefs have been handed more than £130,000 in a bid to tackle rogue landlords.
The two councils have been given £134,000 from the government following a joint bid to help fund work targeting landlords who are guilty of not managing their properties properly and protecting tenants.
Cllr Robert Lawton, Bournemouth's cabinet member for housing, said: "More needs to be done to clamp down on those landlords that are known to be operating across the area, who are sub-letting poorly-managed and often overcrowded properties to vulnerable tenants and foreign nationals.
"This successful bid will mean that we can increase our targeted work to raise standards in the private rented sector and where necessary we will prosecute those landlords flouting the law."
The cash funding will be used to:
Gather further intelligence on the rogue landlords to determine how they are operating.
Take action against those landlords whose properties are poorly managed in terms of property conditions and where landlords treat tenants badly, such as illegal evictions or not returning deposits.
Take formal action, including prosecuting the worst landlords to improve conditions for tenants.
Raise awareness of how tenants can access support and advice about their rights when renting a property and encourage those who might be afraid to complain, to seek help.
Cllr Karen Rampton, portfolio holder for health, wellbeing and housing at Borough of Poole, added: "Landlords that are acting in this way are exploiting vulnerable tenants who are unaware of their rights.
"This funding will provide additional resources to help fully investigate these complex cases enabling us to prosecute the worst offenders.
"Action such as this will help promote awareness for vulnerable tenants and their rights and also send out a warning to other landlords who think it is acceptable to operate in this way."
There are around 19,000 privately-rented properties across Bournemouth and about 9,300 in Poole.
Both Bournemouth Borough Council and Borough of Poole signed up to charity Shelter's 'Evict Rogue Landlords' campaign last summer, pledging their commitment to tackling rogue landlords in the area.
Tenants concerned about the condition or management of their rented home can contact 01202 451083 or email firstname.lastname@example.com in Bournemouth and 01202 633995 or email firstname.lastname@example.com in Poole
For other housing advice, including illegal evictions and withheld deposits, tenants can call Shelter's advice line on 08445 151401 or 01202 451467 in Bournemouth and 01202 633804 in Poole, asking for housing options.

As was teased last year, Bandai America showed off some Little Battlers Experience toys (LBX). These are very popular in Japan and are supported with a cartoon series as well.
Bandai plans to bring the import kits over, while also creating a completed action figure line. However this is all dependent on if a network picks up the LBX show, which has not happened yet. So who knows what's going to happen with the line.
On display were the original Japanese model kits, built up.

- Use a detailed lease
- Require a credit and background check
- Do not forget the move-in inspection
- Serve a 3-day notice if rent is late
- Conduct repairs in a timely manner
- Keep up to date with local and state landlord/tenant laws
- A partnership between attorney and client
#1 Use a detailed lease
One of the most common mistakes landlords make is using a generic or boilerplate (over the counter) lease. These leases often have general terms that are not state-specific and/or adequately detailed. Preparation and use of a detailed lease should include terms for deposit (refundable or not), names of all tenants, use and misuse of premises etc. A specific lease can go into detail about parking, maintenance, noise, pets, utilities and so on. A detailed lease can address potential problems and concerns that sometimes plague tenancies.
#2 Require a credit and background check
Landlords work hard to purchase a real estate investment and sometimes harder to maintain and protect it. A credit check and background check will give you immediate information on individuals who will reside and essentially be partly responsible for your investment. Remember to request these checks on all adults residing in the property and to check their identification to ensure they are who they claim to be.
#3 Do not forget the move-in inspection
A common mistake or lapse is failing to get a signed and dated move-in inspection. Make sure the tenant completes a move-in inspection checklist either before or immediately after moving into the property. If you disagree with the tenant's description of a certain part of the premises, then discuss it to your satisfaction.
#4 Serve a 3-day notice if rent is late
Don't fall into the habit of overlooking late rent. If landlords ignore late rent, tenants may get into a habit of sending it late each month. When a landlord attempts to charge late fees or enforce the terms of the lease, it may be too late or the tenant may not take it seriously.
#5 Conduct repairs in a timely manner
A landlord has specific duties required by the state. A landlord is required to repair certain items immediately and other items within a specific time period and finally some repairs may be the duty of the tenant. Failure to investigate and repair these items can be breach of a lease and can result in a rent reduction in some situations.
#6 Keep up to date with local and state landlord/tenant laws
Seattle has specific ordinances that apply to rental properties in its jurisdiction. The State of Washington likewise has specific laws that often change year to year. It is a landlord's duty to follow these laws and to ensure compliance with local and state regulations.
#7 A partnership between attorney and client
Tenants will appreciate and respect your property if you show them respect and basic fairness. Even when you need to impose consequences upon an irresponsible tenant (such as a 3-day notice or even an eviction), treating the tenant with simple respect often helps to make the process go smoother and avoid damaging accusations by a bitter tenant. Such accusations, whether true or not, can cost you time and money. A landlord can promote a good landlord-tenant relationship with communication and friendliness.
We make no promises or representations about the accuracy of this information, or how it applies to your particular case. These articles are designed to give you ideas to co
nsider and discuss with an attorney, but are no substitute for legal advice, and must not be used as such.

What does ISIS have to do with us?
Many Westerners probably think of the current war in Iraq as an unfortunate but far away conflict that has nothing to do with us, and no effect on our lives apart from higher oil and gas prices.
The reality is that ISIS, the group behind the conflict, is far more than just a band of terrorists. This is a highly-religious Islamic jihadist army whose goal is to establish an Islamic Caliphate (empire) in the Middle East, in the conviction that this is a key step in preparing the way for the return of the Mahdi, the Islamic saviour.
In response to a recent ISIS recruitment video, now apparently no longer available, Joel Richardson writes in his blog
What modern Christian movement or expression matches the zeal and commitment of this Satanic movement? Its going to take a prayer and missions movement unlike anything we have seen to date. Its going to take a return to the early Church theology of the cross and martyrdom. Its going to take a genuine Global Jesus Revolution.
In the West, most Christians are dulled and lulled by the comforts and cares of every day life. I understand this very well – I battle with it myself on a daily basis. We have grown used to a domesticated, Westernized, comfortable, compromised Christianity – a far cry from the gospel of Jesus. Our hearts cry out for intimacy with Jesus, but we can only have genuine intimacy with Him if we understand who He really is, and the true nature of His Kingdom and the battle in which we are engaged. The only way to fight is to keep our eyes on Him. When we speak of seeing the Lord's House of Prayer established, we are not just crying out for personal intimacy with Jesus (though that is undoubtedly very important). We are crying out for His return as openly-acknowledged King.
