What about funds for Far North Qld?
"Mr Howard also announced an $8 million fund to help the Beaconsfield community adjust to any closure of the mine, and a $1 million education scholarship in honour of the dead miner Mr Knight."
Well, I will bite on this one.
As admirable as this is donating a $1million scholarship in honour of the dead miner, what about donating an equal amount to better transport of shipping and boating through the Torres Straits in Far North Queensland?
The men and children who were rescued after a massive 22 days at sea, hve not been paid one cent (nor do they want it either, they aren't money hungry or out to profit from their rescue)but I am sure that some sort of better boating trasport would be of enormous value to the whole Islander community.
The islands are often up to 70-90kms apart, and it usually blows like woop up there; so high, rough seas are the norm between islands. Recently too, another boat capsized and several people drowned, and that boat was not only brand new, but a Customs Boat, and official government boat. (and badly designed, obviously)
The conditions in which these stoic people live in, is mind-boggling, no way we would put up with such primitve and dangerous transport. It needs some sort of inter-island ferry, a stable craft capable of transporting the population safely and in comfort.
A million dollars would go a long way to helping these isloated communties.
Oh, and one more thing. Why isn't it happening? Because they are black.
Thoughts please......

Aussie Everest survivor heads for safety
Barely alive after a night in the "death zone" on Mount Everest, Australian climber Lincoln Hall told an American mountaineer who stopped to help him: "I imagine you are surprised to see me here."
Mr Hall, who on Thursday was presumed dead high on the mountain but who was found alive and rescued the next day, is on his way to safety, being carried down Everest on the back of a yak.
As the rescue continued, details emerged of Mr Hall being found alive by American climber Dan Mazur after the Australian's own team had believed he was dead, and who gave him oxygen and hot tea.
Disoriented from the effects of cerebral oedema, an acute form of altitude sickness, Mr Hall was found with his legs over a sheer drop "half undressed and without a hat", Mr Mazur told EverestNews.com website.
"Lincoln's first words were: `I imagine you are surprised to see me here'," the website reported.
"His fingers were in bad shape and much of his equipment was gone."
Mr Mazur, who abandoned his own summit attempt to help the Australian, alerted Mr Hall's expedition leader Alexander Abramov, who launched a rescue operation by eight Sherpas.

Blogging Rules - to some
I found this on another Bloggers site....and I hear what you are saying, but I don't neccessarily agree with all of it..... Patty
Personal relationships and privacy
Do not assume that you know everything there is to know about a writer simply because you read their weblog on a regular basis. Any judgements you make will be based on the information they have provided you about themselves, which is probably vague, incomplete or embellished. Whatever opinion you form on them as people, or their life as a whole, is probably best kept to yourself. Remember, you are the reader. An obvious exception to this would be if someone were asking for advice or opinions.(We all keep things close to our chest, right? Always happy to have feedback though?)
Never contact the writer for more details on events or personal information than what they have already provided on the site. Chances are if the information you seek isn't readily available, they have found it too personal or innapropriate to share. If you are close to the person they will eventually tell you privately, so intrusive questions are not necessary, just leave it alone. If you are meant to know, you will.(Hey, ask away, if you are interested. I will either tell you, or not.)
If you have a real life relationship with the writer, remember that communication is very important. View weblogs as online journals, no less sacred than a diary hidden between the mattresses. First of all let them know that you read their site, especially if they did not tell you personally.(Mate, if it's THAT private, DON'T PUT IT ON THE WEB WHERE IT'S AVAILABE TO 5 BILLION PEOPLE!!)
If they do not want you reading it, or suddenly stop posting entries, ask them why and if necessary, stop going to the site. It is important that as a friend, relative, co-worker or whatever you may be to the writer, that your presence at their weblog not impede their ability to express themselves. Remember this is their outlet. They may not want you to read certain things they might write about you or others you care about, in order to spare your feelings, avoid drama or maintain their privacy. You should respect this and immediately stop going to the site, and never relay any information you gather at their site to others who might use it against them.(Or perhaps the website owner could be a little more responsible in their writings and not make it recognisable, d'uh)
If someone writes about you and you don't appreciate it, approach them about it. Try to remain calm and polite. Explain that you are entitled to your privacy as well. There are many compromises that can be reached from using vague nicknames to protect your anonymity, or not mentioning you at all. If you are upset because they are writing negative things about you, be reasonable, try to see if there is a way to resolve the issues and mend your relationship with the writer. If that doesn't seem to be possible, stop going to the website. They will eventually get bored and move on. (I rarely write about real people, do unto others etc....)
Ex-friends, lovers and estranged family members who have been cut out of the writer's life should refrain from reading their journal. If the relationship has ended, there is no reason you should get daily updates on the person's life. If you simply can't help yourself, do it quietly, and never repeat what you read or use it to hurt the writer.(So just fuck off, ok?)
Feedback and initiating contact
If they have a guestbook, sign it. Compliments will always be graciously accepted and appreciated. Criticisms and reproaches are fine if you have a problem with something, but try to remain constructive and not be an asshole. No one is forcing you to give out your opinions, so if you don't have anything remotely positive to say, it may be best to keep quiet.(You don't have to sign my Guestbook, I am a little over it, but I do like to know if you are there *taps computer screen, and if you have enjoyed visitng my home?)
When contacting a person for the first time, have a clue. If they have a detailed biography and personal information that describes their life from the day they were born, chances are they won't appreciate you wasting their time asking them how old they are or where they live. Writers put a lot of thought and time into their sites, so take the time to read the information they provide you with before you ask for more. (I concure!)
Never assume a writer owes you any response. They may receive from a few to hundreds of messages per day. Some will gladly write back immediately, others will never reply. Try not to take it personally, because chances are it has more to do with their schedule than anything else. If you get upset and nasty about feeling rejected, you will probably ruin any chances you had of befriending the person.(Sometimes I might get 100 emails on a normal day, whew! I do try to answer them all, but it's hard at times, plus I maintain the Song of the Day which at times takes ages to download, then upload, Blog, Message Board, tagboard and my PodCast)
Don't delude yourself into thinking that you will be as important to the writer as he/she is to you. Remember, you are peering in on their life, sharing their thoughts, and though they may become quite special to you, you remain a mystery to them. If they are cold or unreceptive to your advances, keep in mind that you are a stranger to them at this point, and they may or may not want to keep it that way. It's entirely their choice. (Which is why I usually request some info about yoursef if/when you contact me, it's only fair, you see things about me)
Don't be a psycho stalker.
You shouldn't contact people with messenger services unless they list their handles on their website. If you got it from someone else, forget you ever had it, they probably meant to keep it somewhat private.(Whatever, I just don't add them if people contact me requesting that I be added. Especially if I have had no previous contact, it's cheeky)
A writer has the right to stop writing at any time for any reason they see fit, and at no point must they justify or explain these reasons to you or any of their readers. It's their weblog, they can do with it as they please.('Zactley, hehehe)
Offensive language and materials
The internet is a place that encourages free and creative expression, and as in any environment where people are given this freedom, conflict may arise. If an author uses language or materials that offend you, leave. Contacting the person or their isp, demanding they remove the content or change their ways is absurd because you are viewing their content of your own free will by visiting their site. Simply stop going there and you won't have to see whatever it is you don't like about the site. An obvious exception to this would be if someone were providing illegal materials, in which case it would be appropriate to complain to their isp or contact authorities.
Copyright and courtesy
Never ask someone to make you a layout, to help with your site or show you how to do a certain script or graphic effect that they have on their site, unless they specifically offer their help. There are plenty of tutorials available to help you, just use a search engine to find what you need.(What a lot of shite. If I can help you with anything, I will, you KNOW that! :))
Never use anything off a person's site, be it writing, images or html code, unless they say otherwise. People are very attached to their work and don't usually respond well when others help themselves to it. Copyright is protected by law and in effect the minute something is created, whether the author has a © notice or not. There are online tools where you can learn about copyright laws like What is Copyright?and Redistribution In Graphics Has To Stop. (The thing about the net is that we all help each other. Others have helped me, and I will in turn help others.)
Under no circumstances should you ever direct link anything, this includes link buttons and any other graphics the writer may offer. Direct linking is when you type something like
to display the yahoo link button, instead of actually saving it and uploading it on to your server. It is essentially bandwidth theft, because it uses data transfer, and the owner of the server has to pay for it. Always save the image and upload it to your own server unless the author specifically states you can do otherwise.(Good point)

Then and Now
I heard someone say recently, that it was not a good thing to keep items of clothing from ones younger years, and wear them with today's fashions. The things I wished I had kept though, (because they are wearing exactly the same things). The little mini skits, (not that I would wear those now though), the platform and wedge shoes, a little black, shiny, belt, that I have seen people wearing now. The list is endless.
Are there three items you wore then, that would fit in with today's fashions?

Drink for thought
ALCOHOL WARNINGSDue to increasing products liability litigation, beer manufacturers haveaccepted the Medical Association's suggestion that the following warninglabels be placed immediately on all beer containers:

Joke
A guy goes to the supermarket and notices a beautiful blonde woman wave at him and say hello.
He's rather taken aback, because he can't place where he knows her from. So he says, "Do you Know me?"
To which she replies, "I think you're the father of one of my kids."
Now his mind travels back to the only time he as ever been unfaithful to his wife and says, "My God, are you the stripper from my bachelor party that I laid on the pool table with all my buddies watching, while your partner whipped my back with wet celery and then stuck a carrot up my arse ???"
She looks into his eyes and calmly says, "No, I'm your son's maths teacher."

Barcaldine Tree of Knowledge poisoned
The historic Tree of Knowledge in the central western Queensland town of Barcaldine has been poisoned.
The ghost gum is symbolic of the Australian Labor Party, which was founded in the town.
Barcaldine Mayor Rob Chandler says it appears someone has poured about 30 litres of chemicals over the tree's roots.
A tree doctor is assessing the damage and Mr Chandler says the community is very upset.
"The Tree of Knowledge is just part of our history, it's part of Australia's history," he said.
"It's from those meetings under that tree that the Australian Labor Party was formed back in 1891 and it's a very very important part of Queensland and Australia's history."

National Heritage Values for Tree of Knowledge
1. the place has outstanding heritage value to the nation because of the place's importance in the course, or pattern, of Australia's natural or cultural history
The Tree of Knowledge, a specimen Eucalyptus papuana, located in the centre of Barcaldine, is important to the nation as the scene of political and social events, which had a profound effect on the future of labour and politics in Australia. Shearers and other workers used the Tree of Knowledge as a meeting place during the prolonged strikes of 1890-1. The Shearers Strike of 1891 is acknowledged as a significant event in Trade Union History in Australia. The impact of the event on the nation is well recorded, with strong supporting documentation, and is central to an important national story.
The Tree of Knowledge is important to the nation as the scene of actions and decisions, which had a profound effect on the future of labour and politics in Australia. The 6 May 1891 marked the culmination of the Shearers Strike at Barcaldine, when the colonial administration ordered the arrest of the shearer's leaders on charges of sedition and conspiracy. The Shearers Strike is acknowledged as the starting point of political and social processes, which led to the election of the first Labour representative to government anywhere in the world, and to the eventual formation of the Australian Labor Party.
7. the place has outstanding heritage value to the nation because of the place's strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group for social, cultural or spiritual reasons
The Tree of Knowledge is significant to the nation, in particular the Trade Union Movement because of the place's special association with the Shearers Strike of 1891. The Australian Shearers Union merged with the General Labourer's Union in 1894 to form the Australian Workers Union, which affiliated with the Australian Council of Trade Unions in 1966. Labour Day in Queensland is celebrated annually in the first week in May, coinciding with the march of shearers and bush workers on 1 May 1891, May Day, during the Shearers Strike.

Lawn Mower
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the truck, the car, fishing, always something more important to me.
Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house.
I was gone only a few minutes. When I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. "When you finish cutting the grass," I said, "you might as well sweep the sidewalk."
The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.
