I ca n't state I 'm a large follower of the horse racing, but am ever happy to hold Melbourne Cup day forth ( for those reading from oversealy, I consider we in Melbourne are belike one of the few metropolises in the cosmos to hold a legal holiday for a horse race! ).

Begined the day forth with another motorcycle drive with Herb, sitted downward the Maribyrnong trail into Docklands for a java so back up the Moonee Ponds Brook Trail - around 26km all up. There were a couple of nicely frocked upwards immature fillies ( of the two legged miscellany ) walking around Docklands! I must tell that I rattlingly ca n't understand how they can endure a whole day at the races wearing those high heels though - gon na be some tender pes by years cease I believe.

So afterward Adrienne and I moved into Williamstown with Herb and Kerry for tiffin ( a rattlingly nice pizza for me with a glass of Pinot noir ) and a nice walking along the waterfont. Walking back to the machine we came upon a immature twosome who holded happened a `` gentleman '' passed call at the park and were naming an ambulance. The fille who get on the telephone to the ambulance was essay to relay interrogations and enquire him if he holded a history of bosom jobs, his response was `` No ambulance, the only F $ % *'ing history I 've got is not paying my ambulance rank ''. It was about now we kind of worked out that he was but alcohol over-indulged, holded been left in the automobile and holded assay to get out and holded go over. Anyways, the ambulance was scrubbed and hopefully he sobered upwards okey!

Only completed a place exercise, again to my new Quo Videodisk, which is superb!

While many instructors select not to share their online spaces
with pupils ( in Queensland, where I have just moved, teachers are now officially prohibited from communicating with enrolled students on any social networking site
), I make hold about a XII senior educatees ( from NSW ) who hold added me as a friend ' on Facebook.

My personal policy holds ever been to simply add pupils in my HSC ( concluding twelvemonth ) family. Since locomoting on leave, I hold accepted invites from some in twelvemonth 11 overly.

Over the last few years I 've detected in my intelligence feed a couple of of my educatees going fans ' of the grouping `` Your Homo '' or `` Thats Homophile '' is a first-class response to ANY situation.

So tonight I posted this in my Notes ' subdivision, marked the educatees in enquiry, and waited...

I 've observed a couple of of my friends getting a FAN of the grouping:
`` Your Homosexual '' or `` Thats Homo '' is a splendid response to ANY situation.

Rattlingly?

You REALLY believe so?

I suppose you must not cognise anyone who is sunny so, or hold conceived a lot about how this might do a sunny mortal feel.

Or possibly you rattlingly believe that everyone holds ACCEPTED that the word homosexual ' can be applied out of context. Because no-one REALLY believes that you intend homophile ' when you state cheery ', right? Like, you 're not really telling that something is homosexual!

Buuuut... last clip I looked, there were plenteousness of people out there, cheery and directly, praying
people like you to halt utilise this word. Plenitude of people who are Injury when you state it. Plenteousness of people who understand the roots of this word being utilise as an vilification, By choice, in a rattlingly directed style, to literally intend that Homo = Badness. Plentifulness of people who hold endured verbal and physical ( sometimes violent ) ill-usage at the paws of viscious ( too as oblivious ) homophobes, but because they are sunny.

But hey, it Holds but a word, right?

Ah HA! I cognise - possibly you conceive
you are a postmodernist, and you believe that words should be detached from their historical significations so they can be applied again in new and exciting slipways. Ironical shipways! Contradictory slipways! In shipways that are self-reflexive, and thence really subtly critical of societal establishments in a broad way! ( Howler, that would do you middling smart... but I simply ca n't aid but conceive that Derrida and Foucalt holded other things in brain when they advanced people to dispute societal norms. )

If you 're labelled therein note so you belike
make n't believe that `` homosexual is but another word for happy '' is a good ground to utilize the word homophile ' as an vilification, because that whole statement merely does no sense whatsoever... and I 'm not usually friends with changelings! No, opportunities are you make n't consider that, anymore than you conceive anyone really utilise the word `` pouffe '' in regular, non-woodsman-type life to depict a packet of sticks '.

MAYBE you 're really a societal militant, and you 're seeking to repossess the word homosexual ' the style that black people repossessed the word coon ', or the manner the GLBT community repossessed the word nance '. But if you believed about THAT for longer than two seconds, you 'd clear that no... employing a word as an Revilement makes n't enumerate as repossessing language. In point of fact it Holds kinda the antonym. It Holds more like how when people state coon ' as an Contumely they are being Racialist.
( Though mayhap you hold ne'er watched important historical addresses like Martain Luther Rex 's far-famed I Hold a Dreaming ' address, and rattlingly been floored at what African-Americans shoulded brook at the manuses of the jurisprudence, not to mention at the manuses of racialists citizens, back in those years. Like, maked you cognise that black people could n't vote! That they were done to sit on the dorsum of autobuses! Kinda like how women could n't vote at the twist of the last century - or how they were n't letted to purchase belongings, unfastened bank stories, or disjoint their hubbies! Or like how cheery people are not letted to get conjoined, or adopt shavers as a duo, or work for schools haved by the Church! Ohio... hold... that Holds now. My bad. )

No, I Brawl N'T consider that `` You 're Homophile '' or `` That Holds Homo '' is an fantabulous response to any situation.

And friend, I make n't consider you 're cool when you state that it is.

You cognise for a FACT that it is hurtful to apply homosexual ' as an revilement, so now you hold the pick - are you gon na sleep with anyhow? How mean are you? How disrespectful to the battles of innumerous others, their households and friends? How pachydermatous? How cruel?

Utilize your vision and come upwardly with a new word already.

It 'll take you awhile to kick the wont, but it Holds deserving it.
Swear if you need to.

AND UN-JOIN THAT Pudden-head Grouping OR UN-FRIEND ME!

The response was immediate, and resoundingly positive. Many educatees who picked the note upward through their intelligence provender cared ' the note without being invited. Here are some of the remarks that were posted:

`` ne'er considered of it like that, unjoined!! ''

`` thank you for exhibiting me the light 8P ''

`` yer that is entirely just plenty. i really joined on story of an injoke with some friends, and the grouping associated to the context of the situation, but just point. ''

I too got some lovely messages from fellow instructors who shared their tales and experiences, and the pupils would hold read this overly.

So... cost/benefits of dunk into the instructor ' part on societal networking sites? You say me.
But I simply got a whole clump of pupils to leave that stupid grouping, and some are re-posting the note to their friends. For tonight, 100 % deserving watching my on-line P 's and Q 's to assure I maintin my obligation of attention.

My sis took me two large bags of light-green grapes from her back pace yesterday... and the day before I picked one market bag full of reddish-purple grapes from my neighbour 's dorsum pace ( yes, he cognizes I was there... he Holds anticipating some gelatin when he gets back! ).

Last nighttime I rinsed them forth and picked them from their clumps pose them into my large chromium steel pot, placed in decent H2O to nearly cover them.

Conveying it to a furuncle so simmer for around 10 proceedings, slightly covered. I blast them while they 're boiling, so posed the palpebra on during the simmering component.

So off to the strainer/sieve they attend drip into a bowl for about 1-2 hrs.

I maked n't hold the clip to travel from this portion to doing the gelatin, so I set the juice into quart jars so into the icebox.

I got 3 quarts of juice from the blood-red grapes and 4 quarts of juice from the light-green grapes. I 'll strive the juice one more clip before doing jelly... will place some cheesecloth in the strainer so pour the quart jars into it.

Tonight... Gelatin Devising Clip!

With great alleviation I 'd care to demo you some pictures of a labor that absorbed a good deal of attending this summertime but that I could n't blog approximately because it would give forth the surprise! At so many points over the past few hebdomads I was mostly demented with the try of not
write of it, such was my exhilaration. The task in interrogation was a espouse gift for my good friends Joule & Meter; now that that beautiful, joyous, delightful event holds come and travelled I am place free! Permit the slideshow Begin!

Here it is! A queen sized patchwork! The cardinal points of involvement about the undertaking are that it was a collaborative endeavour between myself and my good friend Meter mortal I was presented to through the bride when I firstly travelled to Toronto. And, secondly, the comfort is done nighly completely of saved cloths which we sourced from both the bride and bridegroom 's homes. A big proportion of the stuff is old habiliment of the bride 's nanna
- the really same ok skirt whose fab costume jewelry holds been bumping its fashion to me via Joule for some clip now. J 's mother was game to direct a big box of wearable upwards all the mode from Narragansett, Rode Island.

I laughed so hard when I opened the box: the color spectrum ran from Ne kelly dark-green, bright fuchsia, and purplish blue, to hazy mountain, melted pastel florals, through to the olive, sunburn, ocher, navy, brick, and mustard of the twelves of ties ( that holded belonged to the bride 's granddaddy ) that were besides included.

A farther box of habiliment from the bridegroom 's menage sealed the trade. We demanded a really particular jumble strategy to accommodate and consort this insane scope of colors. I bust my cache for a couple of materials to fill in some of the spreads, and was happy to chance that a couple of leftovers I holded put away from tasks I holded worked J in the yesteryear were a perfect tantrum. Meter added a couple of materials from her ain cache and we holded a feasible pallet. Rather!

The key fetch up being the form we took, animated by one of Kaffe Fassett 's comforters. The energetic S of the colourway we holded been treated demanded something a trifle simple and geometrical to stabilise it. Insistent without being excessively normative, and flexible plenty to suit the fact that we holded vastly altering sums of each color of cloth, this log cabin form with blocks of changing sizes was ticket!

All this planning happed back in the late springtime. But the summertime months ' reaching intended Meter and I were not even attending be in the same metropolis for a good deal of it. So with the assistance of some graph paper and a sharpy, we pose to work doing a map of the comfort we could each take with us while we worked on the comfort separately. We divvied upwards the puff into 7 big subdivisions that we could so fill with the littleer log cabin blocks as we cared. We concord upon merely a couple of regulations - that each concentrical ring of the blocks would be one color, that blocks would be no littleer that 3, and that we would seek to randomise size and color... and that is it.

Since we were employing salved stuffs we bucked the convention of utilizing but 100 % cotton textiles. Silk, cotton, polyester, rayon, secret fibers - it all locomoted into the wash on the hottest scene, and anything that maked n't live the maltreatment was extinguished from the competition. The subsisters were all pressed and cut it into strips of altering breadths, and so dissever between us so that we 'd hold a similar pallet to work from. Our ( naive ) program was to simply to do our respective hodgepodge subdivisions then but patch the top together upon our reunion in Aug in Toronto. Easy, right?

Fast forwards through a glorious summertime of flights and farms and house visits, jubilations and relaxations, and a turning figure of blocks compiling on my hall walls.

It is interesting to look back on now of the different attacks Metre and I took to the labor of filling our delegated subdivisions of the comforter. I arranged all my strips by color on a hanging broomstick, so every morn as I commenced my day I would do one or two blocks as a warm up activity. I could do a long term wont of that! It is a good, tidy, ruminative workout to get the encephalon begined upwards. Nice because the signifier renders adequate construction to propel and simplify the procedure, but not suchly as to be allly normative selecting a different color and size of material strips each clip intended that every block was a new and exciting escapade. Intriguing to see how the concentrical repeat of textiles could concord colors I conceived were doomed together.

firstly finished subdivision

As the figure of blocks turned and turned, my feeling of the single materials melted, and a new overall texture was maked. So exciting to see how the scale, proportion of stuffs altered as pieces were added and rearranged. After all the playfulness of doing the blocks yet, I was confronted with the head boggling labor of suiting all the randomly sized blocks I holded done together! Woops.

Metre took a much more logical attack and mapped out completely the requisite figure and size of the bocks she postulate to fill the subdivisions of the comforter she was responsible. Securing forth at a invariant gait, I believe she recognise in horror long before I maked the shear outrageousness of the labor we holded putted for ourselves. In my happy province of but producing blocks on a impulse of whatever size I cared, it took me a trifle longer to hit that wall. I 'm not sure who holded an easier clip of it in the terminal, since there was a quite an few terrified call each style between us over the class of the summertime!

Towards the terminal of Aug, Metre presented to me the constituent of the top she holded completed - a great large 87 '' x 30 strip, along with a large stack of single blocks and all her resting material, before vanishing into the wilderness ( I conceive with a snicker ) for a hebdomad of whole quilt-free encampment. It was so that I threw out the original map ( which holded been altered and modified many times already ) and recured to ye olde tyme square dancing of test and fault on the kitchen flooring to do all my assorted sized blocks accommodate together ( swing yer spouse! )

With Meter and I eventually both back in Toronto again, we hunkered ( literally ) for an intense quilt submersion weekend to piece the top with batting and back.

Proverbs 29:18
ESV

If people ca n't see what God is making, they bumble concluded themselves; But when they attend to what he uncovers, they are most blessed.
( Saws 29: 18 MSG )

Yisrael is a elaborate vine that affords its fruit. The more his fruit increased, the more altars he constructed; as his nation better, he meliorate his pillars.
( Hosea 10: 1 ESV )

I retrieve how foiled my Papa applied to get when his lycopersicon esculentum were n't flowering on agenda. I applied to consider that he merely required to only give them a speaking overly in order to get them on course and get them productive.

But this is the intellection of a 5 yr old boy... and not really how it works.

For a works to be fruitful it involves to hold other workses around it that are fruitful too.

Such is the same with Christians.

If a Christian is unfertile... it is ofttimes because they are around people who are infertile and not on the same mission as others are.

Fruit gets fruit.

It is really rather simple.

In about three hebdomads clip, some minor alterations will employ to the mode that Lodging Info Packs ( HIPs ) work. If you are believing of selling any holding following month, so you should be cognisant of these modifications now, since you may ask to take action before the Sixth April!

As I reported at the time , HIPs were presented about 16 months ago, purportedly to do the procedure of selling a house easier. I consider that the jury is still out on whether it holds worked, but it holds took to a nice small concealed redundant taxation, and it Holds certainly been good for the association of lodging multitude suppliers
Anyways, the regulations modified as of last hebdomad - the modifications were denoted back in December, and inherit force on the Sixth April.

Up till now, you could market a holding, furnished you holded utilized
for a HIP. You so holded a grace period of 28 years to get the HIP together ( and with the exception of water companies , things fairly much worked. )

As of following month, notwithstanding, the grace period vanishes. You need to hold a complete HIP before you get marketing the holding. That intends you should utilise for the HIP and get all the info back, before you can even position a purchasable ' piece of card in a window, or position a free advertizing in a paper... not to mention teach an real estate broker.

There are another alterations, which to cite from the authorities release, intend that redundant info about the followers is needed:

include deluge hazard info, gas and electricity safety, service fee, structural harm and parking agreements [... ]

I 'm broadly in favour the `` redundant information '' alterations, but implementing a delay for HIP suppliers to get all the info they postulate back? About the only possible ground to be delighted therewith is if you desire to see house costs worsen farther!

Course, from a purely selfish position, because I think to be a nett emptor, I make desire to see house costs transport along locomoting downward ( and my reading of the economics states me they will )... but redundant legislation to inhibit a marketplace farther midmost of what is looking like the large recession since the 1929 one??? Delight?

Anyone still conceive that Obama is all about procuring mete and holding safe the wholeness of the American election system?

Not after his Doj declared that the province of GA was not letted to verify a elector 's citizenship through a confirmation procedure. What this intends is that Georgia must arrest citizenship cheques. Thence, illegal outlanders can now register to vote in GA.

And make n't believe Obama makes n't cognise about this. I 'm sure he Holds maked the maths more once and he Holds cognizes that he can solidify his powerfulness by decriminalise million of illegals and getting them to vote in favor the Democrats ' socialistic programmes.
