Permission to walk on the lands of the Ngarabal people


The Ngarabal (also: Ngoorabul, Ngarrabul, Ngarrbal) people are the traditional Aboriginal owners of the Glen Innes area in Northern New South Wales, Australia. Ngarabal people have lived in Glen Innes and the surrounding country continuously for thousands of years.

The Glen Innes Local Aboriginal Land Council manages approximately 3000 hectares of land near Strathbogie, NSW including The Willows, and the adjoining property Boorabee, which is owned by Boorabee Aboriginal Corporation, of which all members are Ngarabal people.

The Willows is home to Marlow Hill named after the 'Marlow' (Mullah/Marlo/Marno/Marlowe) Aboriginal family. The Willows is located near the Strathbogie Station, Emmaville, known as a 'safe place' for many Aboriginal people, and the former Nucoorilma Mission, where many Ngarabal people lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and holds great significance for the Ngarabal community today

Glen Innes Local Aboriginal Land Council was incorporated 4th April 1984 under the NSW Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983.

Under the Land Rights Act 1983 Local Aboriginal Land Council primary function is to manage lands that have been vested, leased or purchased and other activities in accordance with the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 all decision making was the responsibility of the membership until changes to the Aboriginal Land Rights Act in 2007.

The main changes where to move from the membership decision process to Board of Directors and the separation of powers between Boards and the Administration arms  with the appointments of Chief Executive Officers whom responsibilities are the day to day management of the Aboriginal land Council.

The Board is elected by the membership for a period of two years elections for new Boards was held 30th September 2013.

Glen Innes Local Aboriginal Land Councils current Board consist of nine members they are:

Chairperson               Ms. Jacqueline Byrne
Deputy Chairperson    Mr.Richard Potter
Board Member           Mrs. Karen Potter
Board Member           Ms. Debra Cutmore
Board Member           Mrs. Vivian Mackay

Its on The GLOBAL INCIDENT MAP.. False Aussie Earthquake

Links to the site Global Incident Map can be found HERE. 
Subscription to this site would follow with more intricate information than was is displayed in this basic format.

However one should be cautious of using 'Geo Science' as gospel because they sure got this one very very wrong because Japan is by no means Australia  and every one is flapping about and it never even occurred.


Daily Advertiser Newspaper

Geoscience Australia has since withdrawn the notification of an Earthquake of magnitude 4. at Ganmain in the Riverina area of Australia.  Apparently it was in Japan and for some reason it registered here in Australia in NSW.  That sure is creepy.  Does this mean all of their readings could be false at some time.

Leo thanks Brian Monk of Tara.

No one should stand for this. We need to understand facts have been twisted regarding how we stand up against these powerful corps and the security firms both public [police] and private. 

  To use force against those that violate us is not equal and reciprocal violence.  We have every right as a sovereign being on this planet to protect our person if violence is perpetrated against us and to use equal and reciprocal force.  NVDA is a con.  (in my opinion as it lacks this sacred masculine of Action)  From my observations this has kept a lot of people from protesting because what is the point of getting a record and a huge fine for nothing. 

 Daylesford Chillout 2009 047_copy
 Thank you Brian Monk.


When I wrote and recorded this, I thought we might shake up peoples awareness about the value of this great nation to a point where they'd rise up and march on Canberra and bring this stupidity to an end.

I got shouted at and chased down the street by a team of CSG workers on vacation in Sydney, trolled and lied to by pro Fracking idiots in the comments on YouTube, and slapped on the back by those who appreciated it.

It was good to see the fuss created. But now we are at a standstill.

No matter what we say or do, these fuckers in government and oil and gas companies seem even more determined to 'win' their evil point than ever.

I salute the stand that guys like you and John Jenkyn are taking, but I'm not proud that so many of my fellow Australians are letting you down. I call on everyone reading this to raise their game, 'til we stop this evil forever.  from Leo Sayer.....


Leo has done a lot for us to get the word out but like all of us he is also miffed at the audacity of the government for turning its back on the people of the country and creating a second genocidal event with the indigenous for their sacred lands for mining as well as defending big banks crippling farmers and handing over this arable farming land to overseas interests in mining.

Solastalgia Workshop in Bulga..

 

Such a strong contingent of support from the loop of The Gloucester Knitting Nannas .... They visited Bulga for the Solastalgia Art Workshops run by Jessica Harwood at the Bulga Recreation Ground.


Nannas doing the Solastagia workshop at Bulga

Solastalgia is a phenomenon recognised and identified, by Professor Glenn Albrecht, as a form of homesickness you have when you haven’t left home. It can arise from a variety of causes such as technology, ecological change, economic change, political decisions and changes to the community. People become 'disturbed' by solastalgia but because it is not sudden and traumatic, a 'problem' is not always recognised or treated.

There was a touring exhibition project back in 2013 that looked at the causes and effects of solastalgia.   They were identifying the  potential for  contemporary visual art, craft and design practices  to contribute to debate and healing.

Artists from across Australia were asked to consult and work with communities suffering from solastalgia to create works specifically for the exhibition.

A gallery project curated by Robyn Daw and toured by Museums and Galleries NSW with support from the Contemporary Touring Initiative.

The UNHOLY PORT OF Yamba

IMG 3643

YPR ....  who is this group pretending they are good guys helping Indigenous people in Australia.  This is a complete disillusion for these people.  The first peoples of this country who retain their culture are sickened by Government assuming all types of things should be put behind them and that they should forget their culture and move on.  This education is flawed by many factors and the most important of these is the lack of understanding about protecting country.

The NEW economy - Yamba Port Rail
“Aust-Asia Global Economic Transport Corridor”
A Compelling Project Engineered to Provide Essential 21st Century Integrated Transport Infrastructure Connections
“Modern projects to launch this country into the next phase of economic prosperity will not be built without private capital.” The Hon Warren Truss Deputy Prime Minister of Australia Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, October 2013
Rail and road freight infrastructure planning and investment can no longer be undertaken in isolation from each other, or worse, in competition with each other. ‘A new national freight strategy needs to be developed for our freight networks to improve planning, investment and decision making’. Infrastructure Australia February 2011
 Productivity and competitiveness, which are vital to meet the challenges of the future, are inhibited by constraints to freight. These constraints include a lack of planning for freight activities, a lack of clarity about the capacity for growth, and poor interoperability across infrastructure networks, all of which lead to congestion, low reliability and unexploited opportunities for investment. Infrastructure Australia February 2011
 Answers the call for the development of vital 21st Century integrated port to rail transport infrastructure
 Private enterprise funded transport infrastructure! No additional burden on taxpayers! Y.P.R Consortium Infrastructure Capital Works Program Aud$39.076 Billion Estimated Capital Injection Expenditure: • Port Yamba Regeneration & Expansion Program Est: Aud$10b • East West Rail Trunkline Yamba Port to Inland Rail Corridor Est: Aud$12.6b • 2nd Blue Mountains Heavy Duty Railway Crossing Est: $12.026b • Strategic NSW Regional Country Rail Network Upgrades: Aud$5.08b
 Australian Federal Government’s current reports indicate an infrastructure deficit in excess of AUD $470 billion, which has and will continue to constrain productivity growth. The major government reported issues were: • Inadequate land-side efficiency at Port Botany and the Port of Melbourne; • Population increasing land-use competition; • Inner city traffic congestion, • Container trade growth increasing by 200% by 2025, • Inadequate national rail network capacity, • Disparity between Australian network efficiency and global best standards WHY THE PROJECT ?
 Australia’s first totally interconnected standard gauge heavy duty double stack container railway route Port Yamba “Direct High-speed Unconstrained Access to National Rail Network” YAMBAMOREE PARKES
 Information provided throughout this PowerPoint presentation outline the Y.P.R (2015-2025) plan for the development of critical Eastern Australian freight rail and port-based transport infrastructure. The Plan clearly demonstrates its capacity to coordinate and deliver the essential objectives to comprehensively upgrade and expand NSW freight transport infrastructure in-line with national transport infrastructure priorities. Y.P.R (Aust) Pty Ltd is currently negotiating a cooperative formal agreement with the NSW and Commonwealth Governments for this purpose.
 Australia’s transport and logistics industry generates approximately $201 billion a year in revenue, accounting for 15% of GDP, and is linked to every household and traditional industry in our economy. The industry is expected to undergo significant growth in the coming decades with our freight task predicted to double by 2025 and triple by 2050 off the back of a doubling between 1990 and 2010. Transport with a capital “T” must lead Australia’s infrastructure agenda.
 STATED OBJECTIVE To develop a seamless technology enhanced integrated world-class transport network that has capacity to set a new benchmark in national freight logistics efficiency.
 Transport infrastructure is of great significance and importance to Australia's future and impacts on the nation's competitiveness and productivity. Australia faces a challenge in delivering major infrastructure in time to meet future needs. With the population set to exceed 35 million by 2050 and freight predicted to double by 2030, getting transport infrastructure right is vital. The economic, social and environmental consequences of congested and capacity-constrained supply chains are well documented.
 Pressure on Sydney's transport systems is immense. Supporting the daily movement of over 900,000 commuters as well as the movement of nearly 400 million tonnes of freight annually, key sections of Sydney’s shared metro road and rail network is either nearing or has already exceeded operational capacity. Capacity problems on the existing metropolitan network are compounded further by an annual arrival of some thirty eight (38) million visitors entering Sydney via Kingsford Smith Airport.

The city of Sydney is not an isolated case. Inadequate planning for future capacity demands on all metropolitan networks across all Eastern State Capitals has led to spiralling capacity constraints resulting in lost time and productivity, reduced cost efficiency, ever-increasing traffic congestion and disrupted shipping scheduling. Port Yamba Project Justification
Pacific Hwy 35 KPH M5 34 Kph M2 31 Kph Parramatta Rd 28 Kph Princess Hwy 28 Kph Military Rd 26 Kph Victoria Rd 23 Kph Sydney peak hour average traffic speeds

 The Bureau of Transport & Regional Economics (BTRE) base case projections have social costs of congestion rising strongly to an estimated $20.4 billion by 2020. The city specific levels rise from $3.5b (2005) to $7.8b (2020) for Sydney, $3.0b to $6.1b for Melbourne, $1.2 to $3.0b for Brisbane. Rising Capital City Congestion Costs Alone Justify The Development of the Y.P.R Project
PORT YAMBA Y.P.R PROJECT 1 Est: Capital Works Cost Aud$10b
 Port Yamba is Australia’s most eastern seaport. Located on the main north-south trade shipping lane the route carries in excess of seventy percent (70%) of Australia’s import/export trade annually. A unique and significant piece of transport infrastructure, the ports underlying potential to become a large-scale, multi-cargo import-export facility that would provide for bulk, general cargo, Ro Ro and containerised trade, has significantly increased in recent years. The locations unique characteristics remove the significant operational and capacity constraints currently afflicting all major eastern capital city seaports. Under the YPR Plan, the port will be transformed from its limited domestic operational status into a globally significant “common-user” shipping hub capable of accepting a wide-range of vessel types ranging in size to include Post Panamax and Cape Size vessels. OVERVIEW OF PORT YAMBA PROPOSAL
The port development area will utilise 36sqkm of land on Goodwood, Chatsworth and Harwood Islands. This will allow for the development of 7.2 kilometres of quay line and in excess of 5.5 million m2 of terminal space. Land-side developments will include operational and administration facilities, customs and quarantine inspection areas, under-bond warehouse facilities, container parks, railway and truck marshalling yards and environmental protection areas and buffer zones. Port Yamba will provide capacity for 4 million TEU’s and some 30-40 million tonnes of non containerised freight by 2023. TEU capacity represents 22.2% of Australia’s forecast container trade growth of 18 million TEU’s by 2050. The completion date for the integrated port-rail project is envisaged to occur in 2023
AUSTRALIAN INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTS PTY LTD 21 Preliminary Port & Landside Development Plan
Increases eastern seaboard container and general cargo terminal capacity, • The only port location on Australia’s eastern seaboard that has unlimited unconstrained capacity to provide for future port expansion as and when required, • Stimulates regional, state and national economic growth, • Empowers regional decentralisation, • Provides for a significant reduction in transit time and freight costs, • Increased port competition, • Provides for a significant reduction city congestion levels, • Lessens the impact of freight transportation on the social fabric and environment, • Provides a marked reduction in sailing time and costs associated with multiple ports of call, and, • Will include inbuilt design and engineering aspects that considers potential climate change impacts.

 In Summary As a direct result of both the YPR and The Australian Governments Inland Rail initiatives, it is foreseen that regional Australia will enter a new phase of manufacturing, transport logistics and agribusiness-driven economic development. This revitalisation strategy is focused on several issues. Through the development of critical based transport infrastructure it is expected to provide a major impetus for the expansion of decentralisation, regional agribusiness and in particular manufacturing and warehouse/distribution facilities. The scale of the development is such that across the board revitalisation of diverse areas of regional economies can be expected.
Areas of major expansion will be focused upon construction, manufacturing, local employment, quarrying and earth works, plant and equipment and a diverse range of support and service based industries. This level of activity and financial investment will also result in a significant increase in other direct and indirect investments as businesses position themselves to capitalise on both development initiatives.
 A comprehensive range of ancillary projects will flow as a consequence of the Y.P.R development: • Water supply & irrigation projects • Renewable energy projects • Industrial development • Food security • Residential development • Trades & service industries
Y.P.R (Aust) is committed to ensuring equal opportunity within the workforce. The company will work with Indigenous organisations to advance economic independence, employment and enterprise opportunities for Indigenous Australians. We are committed to building lasting relationships which lead to the development of sustainable outcomes. Open workplace opportunities: • Administration • Trades & Services • Skilled Labour • Maritime Training (College) • Apprenticeships ASSISTING FIRST AUSTRALIAN’S ECONOMIC
ENDEAVOURS
“Y.P.R building the infrastructure to strengthen and sustain Australia’s economic engagement with the world’s largest rising economies, principally in Asia”. In order to estimate employment generation, a conservative estimate of four (4) direct employees for every AUD$1million expended over the lifespan of the infrastructure project. This equates to an approximate one hundred and forty four thousand (144,000) direct employment positions generated over the lifespan of the project development. Unparalleled Employment Intake

HERMES TRISMEGISTUS .... Mercurius ter Maximus

IMG 2313 Butterfly

The Vision of Hermes

It chanced once on a time, while I was meditating on the things that are, my thought was raised to a great height, yet my bodily senses had been put under restraint as in sleep, though not such sleep as that of men weighed down by fullness of food or bodily weariness.

Methought a Being more than vast, in size beyond all bounds, called out my name and said: "What would you hear and see, and what have you in mind to learn and know?" "Who are you?" said I. "I am the Pymander, Divine Mind of the Sovereignity, the Shepherd of Men. I know what you desire, and I am with you everywhere." "I long to learn the things that are, " I replied, "and comprehend their nature, and know God. This is what I desire to hear." "Hold in your mind all you would know," the Shepherd answered back to me, "and I will teach you."

The Pomanders
Manly Palmer Hall was such a wonderful student of the Hermetica ..
 a faithful servant to the alter of truth.

Hermes Trismegistus (Greek: Ἑρμῆς ὁ Τρισμέγιστος,
"thrice-great Hermes"; Latin: Mercurius ter Maximus) is the
representation of the syncretic combination of the Greek god
Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth.

In ancient Hellenistic Egypt,
The Greeks comprehended the similarity of their god Hermes
to the Egyptian god Thoth and so it came to pass that these 'two' gods
were worshiped as one in what had been the Temple of Thoth
in Khem (Egypt), which the Greeks called Hermopolis.

Woo Hoo its Bricee's Birthday

IMG 0919 

Its birthday cake time for Brice today...   Happy Birthday Bricee --- we love you dearly and thank you for all you have done and the wonderful way you treat us all. So from us this post is done in love for you.

I  made a beautiful fruit cake and iced it,  we only had each other to share it with.   Lots of cake for us. 

The day was celebrated with more cleaning of our new house (which was old and very dirty and needed a lot of loving care).   This was exciting to do on a birthday because both of us thought it was rather the best birthday present anyone could wish for at this time we are living in.  We have the opportunity now of taking care of our dear Kay too and to make sure her last days on this planet are not spent alone. 

Brice got presents.  Boots ... awesome new boots.  Its been a long time coming and until now he refusted to replace his boots and continued to say they'll do. They were probably about 7 years wanting.  I am planting plants in his old ones because he loved them so much so we will continue to value these greatly.   I deffs will blog the boots to planters when I do this because it is an auspicious thing to love the boots that have carried your feet so far on your journey on the mortal plane.  

Cake anyone?

I have said that we are in for the biggest time on Earth we have seen in our born days and I am nearing 56 as I type this.  Never before in our time will this have been witnessed not by even our great grandparents or their grand parents before this. 

The Earth peoples People like an apple tree produces apples.  We are one living organism the sum of many part in continuous change and birth and death and rebirth.  The Earth is now fully awake which has be evidenced by the 47 volcanoes erupting across the planet. 

This is a direct result of the activity of the sun and therefore the entire universe is privy to this upcoming action and has given the go ahead and all we can do is hang on.  I have seen a lot so far in my life of grief and sorrow and I think with what is to come my skills I have learned to cope will be invaluable because I do think we are in for a really rough time.

Plumbers are Awesome!

Like my new washing machine taps and water lines that I have had installed.  This moves us on with our plans of fixing up our house so that we can live here in comfort and no skimp any longer on the essentials. 

It was great to have water also connected in the bathroom at the vanity basin.  Teeth cleaning is better fun now.  Every day we get a little bit more done.  The plumber is coming back to install the laundry taps shortly and so we will be seeing more of our plumber Mr Duck.

Ripple Effect

The Royal Commission Ripple Effect ... funding is where?

When the Gillard government established the Royal Commission into the institutional sexual abuse of children it ensured that adequate funds were made available for counselling - not just for former victims, but even for people who work at the RC and members of the public who might be traumatised at what they have heard. This is a great report by Juliette Saly in the latest ASR.

Yggdrasil


The fate of Yggdrasil during the events of Ragnarök.
In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil (/ˈɪɡdrəsɪl/ or /ˈɪɡdrəzɪl/; from Old Norse Yggdrasill, pronounced [ˈyɡːˌdrasilː]) is an immense tree that is central in Norse cosmology, in connection to which the nine worlds exist.

Yggdrasil is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. In both sources, Yggdrasil is an immense ash tree that is central and considered very holy. The gods go to Yggdrasil daily to assemble at their things. The branches of Yggdrasil extend far into the heavens, and the tree is supported by three roots that extend far away into other locations; one to the well Urðarbrunnr in the heavens, one to the spring Hvergelmir, and another to the well Mímisbrunnr. Creatures live within Yggdrasil, including the wyrm (dragon) Níðhöggr, an unnamed eagle, and the stags Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór.

Conflicting scholarly theories have been proposed about the etymology of the name Yggdrasill, the possibility that the tree is of another species than ash, the relation to tree lore and to Eurasian shamanic lore, the possible relation to the trees Mímameiðr and Læraðr, Hoddmímis holt, the sacred tree at Uppsala, and the fate of Yggdrasil during the events of Ragnarök.

Farmers need to admit truth.


Some how this statement above from the NSW Farmers President  is not quite true.  It sounds educated and firey enough but they are way off base though in hind sight.

It was alright when it was largely unseen... when the damage was seen it was all too late and socially acceptable too to a point for some time.  For a lot of good farmers this is changing with them now.

In the past farmers are just as responsible for serious degradation of land. This somehow gave a green light to the present degradation forced on the land.



So I feel there will be more head way made with this mess when truth is admitted and then and only then will this situation change in the energy stakes.  Farmers are responsible for all the other degradation of land in this country.

Gindalbie WA to host Nuclear Waste Facility!

Badja Station has been put forward as a place to store this poisonous toxic waste from Uranium mining. 

Badja Station is currently the subject of a native title claim by the Widi people.
Widi spokesperson Clayton Lewis said he had no prior knowledge of Gindalbie's proposal.
"It was a bolt out of the blue ... [we're] just amazed that it's going to happen or potentially going to happen in our country," he said.
"We think if we can get a decent body of support at this early stage, we can certainly contest it."

Facebook user spreads misleading information Re:BARCODES

Check out Bar codes on Aldi products 

The Country Code Myth

Many people believe that Australian products must have a ’93’ at the beginning of the barcode and therefore you can tell if a product is from Australia based on the barcode number alone. None of this is strictly true – A) Australian products can have any kind of barcode on them and it won’t be a problem, and B) Products coming from outside of Australia can still have these ‘Australian’ Barcodes on them.

Where does this myth come from?

’93’ Barcodes are supplied by GS1 Australia, for this reason many people believe that they are exclusively for Australian products, however, there are no checks of this kind (GS1 only checks that you have paid their annual fees).
Furthermore, people producing products in Australia may choose to become a member of another cheaper GS1 organisation (in another country), or, they may decide to purchase barcodes from an Alternative Barcode Supplier such as Barcodes Australia.

The following misleading story was posted on facebook and shared thousands of times and the person who originally shared this is apart of the LIONS CLUB OF AUSTRALIA. Why is she that gullible?
Please read on ...her story does have some truth but to follow this strictly is suicide.
This is worth knowing, so take the time to read this, especially the 2nd bit....
(SCROLL DOWN)

A week or so ago, Current Affair did a Report on frozen vegetables imported from New Zealand. As it turns out if it is a Coles or Woollies home brand there is a more than good chance that the product has come from China. Products made by McCain’s, Birdseye and other supposed reputable companies from New Zealand are now purchasing vegie products from China and selling that product under their name.

Basically check where it is produced by the comments on the back of the pack and if it says produced from New Zealand and Imported product it has Chinese vegies in it, put it back on the shelf. I would even go as far as to say, even if it has product of New Zealand on it, I would be suspicious about where those vegies in that pack come from. I suppose to play it safe unless it has been grown and packed in Australia stay away from it unless you don’t mind digesting poisons.

Pretty scary stuff!!

This will cheer you up, hope you're not having chicken for dinner.  Please remember the Australian barcode prefix is 93

PLEASE NOTE - if you love Australian produce and the thought of keeping jobs here, AND you like to eat healthy foods and buy quality products, then please read on. Please also note the Australian barcode prefix is 93.

DANGEROUS IMPORTED FOODS
There are no food inspection regulations of foods grown or processed in China, Vietnam, Hong Kong or Thailand.

Other world countries are scared of China making 'black hearted goods’, but can you differentiate which one is made in Australia, the USA, The Philippines, Taiwan or China? For your Information ... The first 3 digits of the barcode is the country code where-in the product was made.

Example: all barcodes that start with 690; 691 through to 699 are all MADE IN CHINA. 471 is Made in Taiwan .

This is our right to know, but our governments and related departments never educate the public, therefore we have to RESCUE OURSELVES. Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products 'made in china', so they don't show from which country it is made. However, you may now refer to the barcode. Remember, if the first 3 digits are 690 through to 695, then it is Made in China. Don't forget, Hong Kong is now China, too.

All 480 Codes are Made in THE PHILIPPINES..

DO NOT BUY FOOD PROCESSED IN CHINA, HONG KONG, VIETNAM or THAILAND!!! Remember, there are no food inspection regulations!!!

WATCH WHAT YOU BUY. ESPECIALLY 'HIGHLINER' FISH PRODUCTS; all come from China, even though the box says 'product of Canada', it is from China and'processed' in Canada, that is, only the coating is added and packaged in Canada. The fish are raised in pens using chemicals that are banned in Canada as cancer-causing but legal in China. This was exposed on CBC TV's 'Marketplace'.

Please think before buying anything from China.

Avoid buying all processed food packaged in China. Anything goes! We just don't know what else is in those packages. Unlike the United States and Canada (and Australia, Germany, France, Italy, Great Britian et al). China does not have laws regulating food processing.

Basically, do not buy any processed food from China. This includes Hong Kong. MANY companies are using a Hong Kong address to avoid this type of image reputation.

Send to as many people as possible. Do NOT buy food originating in China (or Vietnam or Thailand)! Take the time to read the labels and look for country of origin!

Your Health is at Stake!

REMEMBER THE AUSTRALIAN BARCODE PREFIX????
IT IS 93

Might Snow???

The weather events lately have been extreme weather and there is much more to come as the Earth wakes from her slumber years and stretches and drops the fleas from her body that collected their while she rested with no permission. 


This photo was taken at 15:30hrs today on the Hume Hwy, Breadalbane (between Goulburn and Gunning).Take care if you are heading south this afternoon around the Gunning and Lake George areas.

Posted by Traffic and Highway Patrol Command - NSW Police Force on Tuesday, 12 May 2015
 
MIGHT SNOW here where we are in the New England as we are only 30m shy of the 1000m in the Northern Tablelands area

Partly cloudy. Areas of fog and patches of light frost on and west of the ranges early this morning. Slight (30%) chance of a shower in the late morning and afternoon. Snow possible above 1000 metres. Winds westerly 15 to 25 km/h turning southwesterly 20 to 30 km/h in the late afternoon. Daytime maximum temperatures between 11 and 21.

We had sleet earlier on today. You could see it floating on the air as it is lighter than rain.  It is also pretty too.  But it was a very cold day today and we were warmly tucked up in front of the fire for most of it.  Its nice to get out in the chilly weather though and see the cloud formations across this great big sky country here.  The clouds look like puffy squareish pillows sometimes in an endless repetitive sequence and these look amazing.

BAMBOO FLOORING


Bamboo flooring is manufactured to be structurally and aesthetically similar to standard hardwood, but is known to be quite eco-friendly. Bamboo plants can be harvested without replanting in less than five years, making bamboo floorboards easier to produce.

Floating: A floating floor can be created by piecing the boards together tightly, but without the use of glue or nails. The boards are installed over a layer of foam/padding and snapped together securely. This is typically the fastest and most cost effective method for installing bamboo floors. This method is also recommended for subfloors that are difficult to remove, as it can just easily install right over the existing floor. Baseboard moldings can be reinstalled after all of the flooring is secure and in place. A quarter inch round shoe molding can be used for any expansion gaps. Dirt and dust should be removed, and no heavy appliances should be placed on the flooring for at least 24 hours.

Although bamboo flooring can be easily installed, proper care and maintenance should be observed after installation. Bamboo floorboards are also prone to dents and scratches like hardwood boards.You should keep the flooring from getting scratched by shoes, pets or sharp objects.
Screens and shades on the windows are also recommended as direct sunlight can lead to discoloration in the bamboo. Bamboo floors are also easy to clean. You can simply sweep the floor with a broom and use ordinary cleaning products. Cleaning bamboo floors is easy, and it requires little effort to keep the flooring’s natural shine and look.

For my house it will cost $4690.00 and that is absolute value.  Funny thing about this is carpet is only $1,650 for all three bedrooms... so off to Lambeth Street we go to the Floor Covering specialist to get the measurements and a written quote and get it done as soon as possible.

Mothers Day 2015


Well, things never ever cease to amaze me!  Out of left field to get a message from one of my daughters best friends with an image of a post my sadly estranged son had posted this morning on his Facebook.

I shed some tears, and talked to my daughter about this because she also sent the same image to me in a different message.  I wasn't going to miss seeing it according to these wonderful young woman.  One of these girls is a Mumma and so it was perfectly understandable that she would understand the dynamics and she understood emphatically. 

For this I am grateful because it gives me hope that one day I may hold my son close in my arms again.  I miss him in my life, but life deals out strange things and it is not for me to try to second guess what his soul contract was when he peopled onto the planet.

I do miss him though because I did always want him so desperately and when he came I said I didn't  care how this happened and that obviously is my Karma now.

The Seat of New England

So now I have Barnaby Joyce as the bloke who is supposed to watch your back and your spot on this great land. Of course I am being a bit sarcastic here because I trust none of them and least of all the Nationals of which Barnaby is and further to that a Jesuit trained old boy from Lane Cove.

The seat of New England includes the local government areas of Liverpool Plains, Gunnedah, Tamworth Regional, Walcha, Uralla, Armidale Dumaresq, Guyra, Glen Innes Severn, Inverell and Tenterfield Shire Councils.

The major hubs include Armidale, Barraba, Bundarra, Deepwater, Glen Innes, Gunnedah, Guyra, Inverell, Manilla, Nundle, Quirindi, Tamworth, Tenterfield, Uralla, Yetman, Walcha, Werris Creek and parts of Delungra and Urbenville.

Barnaby Joyce is a Jesuit trained old boy from St Ignatius at Lane Cove Sydney and so he is another one of the Jesuits that are not looking after what they say they are and at the same time they are swooning the general public with absolute hogwash.  He has not got the land or its future as his first love anymore, that ceased when he went to Sydney to the special school.

Riverview St Ignatius College 1.JPGBarnaby was born to a vet who come from New Zealand to Australia to study Vet Science and he grew up on a farm outside of Tamworth at Woolbrook.

While at High School he would have created a platform for his later life with his study of commerce and accountancy.  Other former students in parliament ore were formerly in parliament are Nick Greiner, Our current prime minister Tony Abbott, the Archbishop of Sydney Anthony Fisher OP, The Chief Justice Tom Bathurst,

My Blueberries

At last they are in.


Growing my blueberries ... I have wanted to do this for so long and now I have finally put some in.  I have to look after them and say hello often because they are social plants and dislike being lonely.
Blueberries like the azalea, are members of the Ericaceae family.  They like a sandy acid soil and they grow into nice sized bushes.

Source: How to grow blueberries 

Pruning and harvesting

Blueberries begin cropping at two years. Once the bush is four to eight years old it will produce 2–7kg of fruit.
Pruning helps productivity and, while the aim is to create a vase-shaped bush with an open centre, blueberries also make great hedges. Remove any weak, dead or crossed branches at any time of the year. Tip-prune shoots back by one-third during early spring, and remove unproductive shoots close to the base that are two or more years old. This encourages suckering and the formation of more shoots. Individual fruit will most likely ripen at different stages from December to mid-January, although some varieties can crop as late as March. Fruit starts hard and green, softening as it ripens, attaining its distinctive blue-black colour with a coating of white bloom.
Once fruits are fully darkened, taste a few before harvesting. Blueberries do not get any sweeter after picking so it would be a shame to pick them too early. Full sweetness takes a week or so beyond full colour to develop and timing varies between cultivars. Pick the fruit by hand, but be sure not to rub off any of next year’s berries that are already forming on the branches

Clozapine ... is what I would call THEIR latest chemical weapon.

nO.3153 Tace's Kitty 
  Image : Her kitty....
So this is the latest medication they have given to my God daughter.... it has some seemingly awful side effects with her and it seemingly has not done a damn thing for her mental health in any way shape or form.  It is not possible to imagine such a well hatched out plan to procure a compensation payout.  Bragging before hand how Lavendar was a Million Dollar Baby.  Her plan is pre meditated and has to be classified as Psychopathic as she has seemingly no conscience about her actions in the last couple of weeks. 

The health system had better pull its socks up about this because I am not going to stand by and watch this vixen crucify my long time friend and good mother as her mother was. 
It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medication needed in a basic health system

Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic medication used in the treatment of schizophrenia, and is also sometimes used off-label for the treatment of bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder.

The first of the atypical antipsychotics to be developed, it was first introduced in Europe in 1971, but was voluntarily withdrawn by the manufacturer in 1975 after it was shown to cause agranulocytosis, a condition involving a dangerous decrease in the number of white blood cells, that led to death in some patients. In 1989 after studies demonstrated that it was effective in treating treatment-resistant schizophrenia the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of clozapine solely for that use, requiring regular white blood cell and absolute neutrophil counts. 

The FDA also requires clozapine to carry five black box warnings for agranulocytosis, seizures, myocarditis, for "other adverse cardiovascular and respiratory effects", and for "increased mortality in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis." In 2002 the FDA approved clozapine for reducing the risk of suicidal behavior for patients with schizophrenia.

Find our Moonshine . ..

 

When the moon is not seen with the sun on the fourteenth day of Adar, the day will complete Nisan.' And this is interpreted to mean that that month of Adar would contain thirty days.

Peace reigns once more..

Protocols on Country .... are they ancient or a business proposition!

This question has come up to me a few times and its a funny subject and while I have no qualms about participating in Welcome to Country or Acknowledging Country protocols it is interesting to examine this practice a little more closely given the light of things that communities are facing out west and in many states of Australia with the closure of their communities.

Are those who do these ceremonies about of the Recognise Movement.  If they are then it is highly likely it is a custom to ask for that much money and for this to  occur like this as a ASIC venture way back.  I think that there needs to be a better story regarding this and I would like to know what a tradidional welcome was like as apposed to this sort of white man invention to make it look good if that is all it is.

The ball is clearly a line ball here as both sides have fair arguments for how it is.  To read more about this go to Wiki and read about how Ernie Dingo says it is made up and then read the other arguments for and against and about the pricing of this ceremony.   :LINK:

Prisca Theologia



IMG 3268.1
In its strictest sense, Prisca Theologia is a Latin phrase meaning “the old/ancient theology.” 

It is a technical term probably first used in the early Renaissance by Florentine scholar Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499) which refers to the belief that a lineage of ancient philosophers taught a philosophical wisdom that parallels and complements the biblical Hebrew and Christian revelations.  
It was fundamentally a movement by para-pagan Renaissance philosophers and magicians to attempt to legitimize and Christianize a series of pagan books that they believed contained authentic philosophical and magical wisdom. 

Although the list of the philosophers and texts of the Prisca Theologia varies, it generally includes Zoroaster (Chaldean Oracles), Hermes (Corpus Hermeticum), Orpheus, Pythagoras (Golden Verses) and Plato.  The essence of the movement was the syncretistic Christianization of pagan philosophy, magic, astrology, alchemy, theurgy, etc..  (One can see these ideas reflected in Raphael’s marvelous painting the “School of Athens.”)
Plato
More broadly, several early Christian theologians (e.g. Clement, Origen, Augustine) also believed that contemporary (neo) Platonic philosophy was largely compatible with Christianity.  Plato, through reason, taught the same truths as the biblical Prophets taught by revelation. 

This movement seems to have begun with the Alexandrian Jewish philosopher Philo, who attempted in his massive works to show that the Bible and Plato taught essentially the same fundamental doctrines.  In another sense, the attempts of medieval scholasticism to synthesize Aristotle and Arabic philosophy with Christian theology reflect this same tendency.

Notice the essence of all of these movements is an attempt to synthesize Christianity with Greek philosophy.  The broader phenomena of the search for lost ancient wisdom (e.g. seeking the Hebrew Bible and Kabbalistic knowledge), and the more narrow syncretization of Christianity with Hellenistic philosophy is not Prisca Theologia.  Prisca Theologia is only one form of the attempt to synthesize pagan philosophy and Christianity. 

Both share the belief that pagan philosophy reveals through reason the same truths that the Bible reveals through revelation.   Excerpt from
