Morsie, those acapella singers were at Split when we were there too. They were selling CDs and before I knew it, the Beloved had raced over with some money. Where’s my CD? Oh…I didn’t get one. The money was for the tin.
Grrr. At least we were sung to. It isn’t a proper holiday unless you’re sung to. 😀

The Cost Of Illegal Immigration In The USA
From Martin Armstrong –
“Former President Trump requested $15 billion to build a wall between the US and Mexico. Everyone called him a crazy racist and dismissed his pleas. The truth of the matter is that the wall would have paid for itself in a year. American taxpayers have been paying around $20 billion annually since Biden took office to support the massive influx of illegal immigrants.
The study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) conducted an analysis and found that each illegal immigrant costs taxpayers $9,232 per year to support. The actual number of people crossing the border is unknown, and the 1.3 to 2 million estimated illegal immigrants this fiscal year alone is understated.
FAIR noted that money spent annually to support illegal aliens would amount to providing every homeless veteran with $50,000 a year, for a decade. The funds could be used to hire an additional 330,000 teachers across the nation to help the shortage. These taxpayer funds should be invested in America.
Useless Vice President Kamala Harris insists the border is “secure,” despite tons of counties declaring an invasion and begging Washington for help. “The border is secure, but we also have a broken immigration system, in particular, over the last four years before we came in, and it needs to be fixed,” Harris said. This is truly laughable as one of Trump’s main qualms was securing the border.
Southern states have begun to send immigrants to “shelter cities” where they claim they will open their arms and wallets to all illegals. They have been terribly equipped to handle the massive influx of buses arriving in their cities, and the Democrats are crying that the Republicans are playing a dirty game. The truth of the matter is that these politicians do not see the true impact of the border crisis. Until buses of undocumented people arrive at their doorstep and they have to figure out how to help them, they are ignorant to the issue. Even Harris failed to visit the border after first being appointed as the border czar. The truth of the matter is that the Biden Administration has zero plans to fix the invasion crisis because they are hoping those who make it over will vote blue to stay in the US.”

Leftist tactic approaching:
Once Australia becomes a Republic, solid citizens such as Tony Abbott, Eric Abetz, Bernardi, Hanson and other Monarchist ilk will be immediately cancelled by the Left should they wish to stand as “they never believed in a Republic.”
The position is already stitched up.
Yes they did. But the right people made it up.
After reading that James Cook University was going to lay off around 1300 staff due to student shortages caused by BAT FLU .. out of curiosity I popped over to their website to find out how big they are to have so many unnecessary wukkas …
As usual, with these type of places this info isn’t deemed important so still none the wiser! ..
but I did notice something quite weird in their advertising (which is basically what the site is .. a giant advert!).. they go in for a lot of effort to attract 251s to their campus .. now given the 251s aversion to all things “Jimmy” shirley the 1st thing they need to do is change the name! .. I mean what gummint funded/freebie scholarship 251 is gonna want to be associated wiv an establishment named after one of their favourite dartboard targets .. Cos if “Jimmy” ain’t the bullseye he’s, definitely, the outer circle!

The Grattan Institute wants a multi-party Parliamentary Committee to oversee all grants:
No thanks! As I’ve said here before, and based on my own Ministerial experience: You’re a Minister because you won and now you make the calls. You don’t need some fucking multiparty committee to tell you who to give grants to or not. If they want that, they should first win and election and be talented, and lucky, enough to become a Minister.
Once you’ve devolved your responsibility of deciding grants to the public sector or some committee, they will start to build rules around who gets what and why, the weightings of applicants will be on shit like indigeneity, gender, climate, diversity and LASTLY -> talent.
I’ve seen the leader of a political party lose their job because they gave a grant scheme to the public sector to run.
No NBN?
Well, there are garden varieties.

An American tourist in London wanders into a local pub, downs a few pints, then stumbles out of the door. After walking for a while, he finds himself in a posh residential neighbourhood with no public toilets in sight. In pain, he finds a side street and walks up to a wall. Just as he unzips, a British cop grabs his arm and says “Sir, you can’t do that here!” “Sorry, officer” replies the American “but I really have to take a leak and I can’t find a toilet”. “Follow me” says the cop. He leads the American down a back alley and opens a gate. Inside is a lush garden with manicured lawns, statues and fountains. “Whiz anywhere you like” says the cop. The American goes about his business, then returns and says “I guess this is what you call English Hospitality!” “No” says the cop “This is what we call the French Embassy”.
Sydney residents in cultural evolution war with bin-raiding cockatoos
Sulphur-crested cockatoos are defying human efforts to keep them out of bins by copying each other’s tricks, but more effective strategies to thwart them are passed on between humans too – 1 Min 17 Secs of Cockatoo Ingenuity
Residents of Sydney, Australia, are caught in a battle of wits with cockatoos, as they try to stop the crafty birds raiding their rubbish bins for food.
As fast as they come up with new ways to stop the sulphur-crested cockatoos (Cacatua galerita) from opening the bins, the birds are working out ways to defeat them. It is a classic example of an arms race in cultural evolution, says Barbara Klump at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Radolfzell, Germany.
The saga began when cockatoos discovered that people’s bins often contain food, with bread and fruit being particular favourites. The lids are heavy, but a few birds found they could pry them open at the front, grip the lid in their beak while walking around the rim towards the hinge, and flip the lid over.
The trick was seen in only three suburbs of Sydney in 2018, but by 2019 it had spread to 44 suburbs as cockatoos learned the trick by copying each other, Klump’s team reported previously. The behaviour is a nuisance for residents since the birds often toss rubbish over their front yards and streets.
The team has continued studying this culture war – this time focusing on the human side of the conflict.
The researchers observed the protection strategies being used on 3283 bins in four suburbs where bin-raiding by cockatoos had been reported, and gathered responses from 1134 residents in an online survey.
Some residents started putting bricks and other items on top of their bin lids, but some of the hungry birds figured out they could nudge the bricks off with their heads.
LOL
The prosecutors don’t even think they need a probanda anymore.
It should be dismissed.
If the accused can’t ask for chronology or phone records anymore, I am done with this “society”.
It is no more a society than a grift for the “right” people.
So, the Mt. Wilson fire wasn’t really about climate change or the Morrisons’ holiday that year?
Even better, she stated “i didn’t know you had that ”

The squealing from Martha’s Vineyard residents is very revealing (also somewhat delicious)

“She told the court she had concerns the defence could be “chasing” cross-examination “rabbits”, and if that was the case, it would be a “very long trial””
This will end up in the HC.
Aunty Gab!
“It is no more a society than a grift for the “right” people.”
Yep.
I’m also rather amazed how progressives are suddenly spruiking free speech because they’re being called out for their disgusting attacks on the Queen, but then I think, why am I surprised? Remember we now live in a society now where….
Free speech for me but not for thee
Presumption of innocence for me but not for thee
Fair trials for me but not for thee
Prejudice a trial and receive a slap on the wrist, but if that had been you or me, or any conservative commentator, we would have been charged the next day
Endless, endless double standards and hypocrisy.
“LOL Footage of Dr Monique Lyan singing and dancing without a mask in a crowded space has been obtained by Sky News.
Even better, she stated “i didn’t know you had that ””
But you see, this is yet another example of the endless double standards at play in our MSM, I bet their ABC haven’t reported this. Oh no, doesn’t fit the narrative. And yet, if this had been a Liberal or a National, it would be headline news at their ABC, SMH, The Age, The Malcolm Guardian and so on.
A crucial timeline provided to police by former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins is at the centre of a fresh fight in the Canberra courts.
Bruce Lehrmann’s lawyers are seeking the document that outlines Ms Higgins’ version of events from 2019.
Mr Lehrmann has pleaded not guilty to sexually assaulting Ms Higgins inside Parliament House in 2019.
Andrew Berger said that when the defence made the request for the document, the Director of Public Prosecutions denied it, claiming legal professional privilege.
I suppose it’s possible that the “journalist” has got the facts wrong.
(I mean that could happen once in a blue moon.)
But, on the description, it’s not clear that the document would be privileged. Privilege attaches to a communication between lawyer and client for the dominant purposes of legal advice or in preparation for litigation.
It seem to me a stretch to say that a statement to police is a communication with lawyers, or for the dominant purpose of legal advice or preparation for litigation. Just possibly the latter, but even then it would need to be argued that the police were in some sense agents for the as then uninstructed prosecution lawyers. I don’t think that can fly since one purpose of the police getting a statement is to decide whether to prosecute or not.
And this Lard Arse Lyan aka the member for Kooyong had the chutzpah a month ago in parliament to lecture the opposition to put on masks.
But the scandal here? It isn’t lard arse Lyan or the rest of the Teal and Green scum, it’s the fact that there are Australians who vote for the scum. Don’t anyone tell me that Josh was worse than Lard Arse. He wasn’t.
I see Dover has edited St Ruth’s attack on calli’s husband at 6:18 this morning.

People born in 1991 and later are being vaccinated with Comirnaty from Pfizer-BioNTech. The Public Health Agency of Sweden has decided to temporarily halt the use of Spikevax from Moderna for this age group due to a suspected risk of inflammation of the cardiac muscle or pericardium. The side effect is most common in adolescents and young adults.

Oops sorry, may have been the same thing. Strange that the Politico story is only one day old though.
Hahaha!
Whenever someone posts something negative about the vaccines, watching rosie’s response always reminds me of this joke:
An old man lived alone. His only son was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son.
Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren’t in prison.
Love,
Dad
Shortly, the old man received this telegram:
‘For Heaven’s sake, Dad, don’t dig up the plot. That’s where I buried the GUNS!!’
At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns. Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what had happened, and asked him what to do next.
His son’s reply: ‘Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad. It’s the best I could do for you, from here.’
I tend to agree, unless it defames a known person* or promotes actual physical violence.
However, if you are going to have “no-go” areas, they need to be equitably applied.
…
* Even this can be problematic. It is impossible for a masked internet identity to claim defamation by another masked internet identity. However, a couple of old Sinc-Cat posters (who are not here, at least under their previous handles) made a deliberate point of laying an obvious trail of breadcrumbs as to their true identity. Nek minnit, they are screaming defamation, online bullying and, of course, damages.
Obvious grifting.
And, Winston and Franx, don’t get all cute and ask me to name names. If you don’t know, let’s keep it that way.

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/sep/16/nsw-and-act-in-talks-over-biggest-border-shake-up-in-living-memory
More than 100 years since New South Wales magnanimously handed over Jervis Bay, the ACT’s chief minister, Andrew Barr, has confirmed talks are under way for what would be the biggest shake-up in state-territorial borderlines in living memory.
The ACT has begun discussions with the NSW government to acquire 330 hectares of farmland called Parkwood.
The land lies within a planned housing development called Ginninderry, which covers both the ACT and NSW.
On Friday Barr confirmed the acquisition was all but certain, saying the NSW premier, Dominic Perrottet, had “personally contacted me to give it the green light” over the land swap.
ABCcess numbers have been underestimated…

Dover obviously respects that privacy and went further the other day. If you exchange contact details with one other poster, that is not a licence to publish those details or share them further afield without permission.
I have a strong inkling that this has been the case in the latest incident.
One can only imagine the number of hangers-on who are going, starting with his girlfriend.
A young man named Boris bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100 and the farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the following day.
When the farmer drove up the next day, he said “Sorry son, but I have some bad news…the donkey is on my truck, but he’s dead”. Boris replied “Well then, just give me my money back”.
The farmer said “I can’t do that. I went and spent it already”. Boris said “OK then, just unload the donkey anyway”.
The farmer asked “What are you going to do with him?” Boris said “I’m going to raffle him off”. To which the farmer exclaimed “You can’t raffle off a dead donkey!”
But Boris, with a big smile on his face, said “Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody that he’s dead”.
A month later the farmer met up with Boris and asked “What happened with that dead donkey?” Boris said “I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two bucks a piece and made a profit of $698”.
Totally amazed, the farmer asked “Didn’t anyone complain that you had stolen their money because you lied about the donkey being dead?”
And Boris replied “The only guy who found out about the donkey being dead was the raffle winner when he came to claim his prize. So I gave him his $2 back plus $200 extra, which is double the going value of a donkey, so he thought I was a great guy”.
Next we’ll be disowning ever having had a pass.
Sometimes the truth sounds very unkind, but there it is, lest silence be taken as consent.
If the PM of England lost his job for asking people to live to a certain standard, and then he didn’t live up to that standard “in private,” Dr (for a dr she is) Monique Lyan should be bumped!

I pointed out that Sweden discontinued moderna use for people under a certain age back in 2021 so thanks for the awesome rebuttal.
As for the claim Sweden is discontinuing all moderna use ‘within 12 hours’ I was simply looking for confirmation from a reliable source, not some fruitcake on telegraph.
No doubt the Swedish government is keeping this a state secret because reasons.
So sorry for not swallowing every bit of specious nonsense that gets posted as extra truthie truth on this site.
I don’t actually care if Sweden is discontinuing Moderna or any other vaccines ‘within 12 hours’ I just prefer facts.

LGB Alliance co-founder breaks down in court when asked to define ‘lesbian’
A co-founder of LGB Alliance was reduced to tears during cross-examination on the definition of the word lesbian on Thursday, prompting the court to adjourn, during a legal challenge to the Charity Commission’s decision to award charitable status to the organisation.
The meaning of the word lesbian has been analysed on several occasions during five days of court hearings triggered by a challenge brought by the children’s trans rights charity Mermaids.
Kate Harris, a co-founder of LGB Alliance, was invited by Michael Gibbon KC, counsel for Mermaids, to reflect on whether some people would have a different understanding of lesbian from the definition given by her organisation.
“That a lesbian can be a man with a penis?” she asked.
Gibbon responded: “Putting it in a more neutral way, that lesbians can include someone who is a woman as a result of gender reassignment.”
Harris, who is a lesbian, was distressed by the exchange, and the judge called for a short adjournment. Gibbon later apologised if he had “raised something inadvertently upsetting”. Harris said: “I’m going to speak for millions of lesbians around the world who are lesbians because we love other women … We will not be erased and we will not have any man with a penis tell us he’s a lesbian because he feels he is.”
She added: “A lesbian is attracted to another biological woman, full stop.”
…
Enter the iron ricebowl..
Who would imagine the pomgolian national lottery has been funding an organization assisting the surgical and chemical castration/mutilation of kids bodies?
Mermaids’ counsel questioned Harris and LGB Alliance’s chair of trustees, Eileen Gallagher, on the “combative” and “confrontational” language used by the charity in tweets and campaigning literature, including accusing Mermaids of child abuse and of spreading lies. He said Mermaids took the safeguarding of children very seriously and questioned whether it was LGB Alliance’s place to criticise the national lottery and Starbucks for choosing to fund Mermaids.

I oscillate between calling it a fake-lift and the Mid-Century Modern masterpiece by Frank Lloyd Wrong
this joint always had good bones but every room was a different colour with old paisley wall paper in the linen closet and, as it turns out, behind the cupboard that was on the laundry wall.
the floor was a mozaic of salmon tiles and floating bamboo
the light fixtures were brass and glass and the sunken lounge had two that looked like the Trevi Fountain
the kitchen was however was solid American Oak.
we stripped the joint and painted it end-to-end with one pallette from the Dulux catalog called Snowy Mountains
pained the kitchen cupboards and put stone on top
upstairs was re-carpeted, new window treatments and a half-arsed lift for the bathrooms
downstairs we ripped up all the times and bamboo and laid solid 19mm Blackbutt
the laundry is a very tasteful fake terrazo with real cabinets and overhead cupboard instead of a rusted out trough and a laundry basket.

Dykes and Mermaids. I’m starting to appreciate the spectacle of identity politics and associated grievance pimping as the practitioners progress through their ideological senescence. These people are not even trying to justify shit anymore, it is just gimme gimme on repeat.
Ah…thank you for that info, shatterzzz.
Let’s see how they repay the favour in future.
A guy was boarding a plane when he heard that the Pope was on the same flight.
“This is exciting!” thought the gentleman “I’ve always been a big fan of the Pope. Perhaps I’ll be able to see him in person”.
Suddenly, the man realised his seat was right next to the Pope himself! Still, the gentleman was too shy to speak to His Holiness.
Shortly after take-off, the Pope took a crossword puzzle out of his carry-on bag and began penciling in the answers.
“This is fantastic!” the gentleman mused “I’m really good at crosswords!”
It crossed his mind that if the Pope got stuck, he’d ask him for assistance.
Almost as if providence struck, the Pope turned to the man and said “Excuse me, but do you know a four-letter word referring to a woman that ends in ‘unt’?”
The three Cardinals behind, in front of and beside him shrunk down in their seats, as far as possible, all looking for something on the floor.
The gentleman was in morbid shock.
He couldn’t breathe.
He went within himself, thought deeper, longer for a plausible answer and after almost a minute, the dark clouds of evil parted in his mind and the sun shone in.
Turning to the Pope, the gentleman said with reverence and politeness “I believe, Your Holiness, that you’re looking for the word, ‘aunt.’”
“Of course!” the Pope mused, not taking his gaze off the crossword “You wouldn’t happen to have an eraser, would you?”
One of the more amusing of m0nty’s big brain takes.
You know when someone says something that instantly reveals they don’t have the first fucking idea about what they speak of?
Great monologue by Tucker about the rank hypocrisy of the elites particularly the obumas about illegal immigration. Now that De Santis has delivered some illegals to Martha’s Vineyard the bullshit is really flowing. Previously obuma’s hubbie had castigated whitees for white flight when the likes of the obumas moved into their neighbourhood which is why it was so noble of the obumas to move to a white stronghold like Marthas and why illegals coming to racist republican states like Texas and Arizona is part of that enriching goodness. But illegals coming to Marthas is like the holocaust because that is using illegals for political reasons.
As Gutfeld has said the shits of the left will always support their destructive policies as long as they only affect other people but when the illegals move in and when they start to get bashed, raped and murdered than and only then do the left stop their policies.
This is what concerns me about law enforcement in this age of soft totalitarianism – how many of these coppers are quitting because they can no longer stand enforcing the regime’s diktats, and how many of the new recruits are signing up because they enjoy enforcing them?
Keep ’em coming, Johnny.
“LGB Alliance co-founder breaks down in court when asked to define ‘lesbian’
A co-founder of LGB Alliance was reduced to tears during cross-examination on the definition of the word lesbian on Thursday, prompting the court to adjourn, during a legal challenge to the Charity Commission’s decision to award charitable status to the organisation.
The meaning of the word lesbian has been analysed on several occasions during five days of court hearings triggered by a challenge brought by the children’s trans rights charity Mermaids.
Kate Harris and Bev Jackson, the founders of LGB Alliance, are two very brave women. Two years ago, these two women set up the LGB Alliance so as to distance themselves from the “T” and the “Q”. Both are lesbian women in their 70s, both are women who marched back in the late 1960s and 1970s for gay rights, both are women who’ve been strongly involved in gay rights and in the UK gay right’s organisation Stonewall but recently, over the last five years, both women felt increasingly isolated and marginalised from Stonewall because it has pursued “transgender’ ideology, or as I prefer to call it, “pervert’s ideology” (and that is more accurate). For their sin of setting up an exclusively homosexual organisation, they’ve been targeted by various queers, various perverts and creepy organisations like Mermaids and Stonewall. The thing is, none of this is funny, it’s sinister and creepy. You now have biological males, or perverts as I prefer to call them, who are cross dressers and who insist on calling themselves lesbians. Well, they’re not lesbians, they are creepy autogynephiles, men who get sexually aroused by donning female clothing (particularly things like knickers and bras) and they probably get even more sexually aroused by calling themselves “lesbians”. I regard many if not all of these men as dangerous, very dangerous.
The UK organisations Stonewall and Mermaids are intent on silencing, squashing and destroying any dissenting views or any organisation that challenges it’s “transgender” orthodoxy, hence the court action to deny LGB Alliance “charitable” status. Also, Mermaids is a highly sinister organisation which is intent on grooming minors into transgender ideology (including surgical and pharmaceutical mutilation). Mermaids was one of the chief transgender groups advising the now discredited Tavistock Clinic. One of the heads of “Mermaids”, a woman named Susie Green has a “transgender child” (Green is probably a sufferer of Munchausen by proxy), anyway a few years ago she travelled to Thailand with her young son (who was sixteen at the time) and he was castrated…something she later boasted about on social media.
Enough said.
The question awakened her subluminal penis envy.
Nothing subliminal about it, everyone wants a dick. An endlessly amusing source of entertainment.
the Magnitsky Act is the number one priority for Putin and his billionaire mates. He would stop the war in Ukraine tomorrow if it meant the West agreed to drop the Magnitsky Act.
Did dickless say that. The Global Magnitsky Act will be used to prosecute Trump on the basis of false evidence. The removal of the Sunset clause guarantees that. Once again a provision designed to capture corrupt creeps like biden will be turned on Trump.
As has been previously noted, don’t upset the trannies.
Can’t have much sympathy for the ones who set up the grievance industry in the first place just because they aren’t high on the totem poll enymore.

Several of the Teal scum have advocated for the closing of offshore detention and have said our boat policies are “cruel” and people should be resettled in Oz. Fine, then bring them to Oz and resettle them in Wentworth, Warringah, North Sydney, Mackellar, Goldstein, Curtin and Kooyong.

Single photo exposes the major issue with electric cars amid fears they could become a ‘lawyer’s picnic’
. Footage from Sydney street shows bizarre charging set-up for an electric car
. Raised issue about dangers which could cause dilemma for neighbourhoods
. Some streets don’t have garages while councils want to get rid of driveways
. Ben Fordham says authorities need to work out how electric cars will be charged
Astonishing footage has put a spotlight on the potential dangers of electric vehicles amid fears they could become ‘a lawyer’s picnic’.
An electric car parked on a street in Manly, on Sydney’s northern beaches, was spotted being charged by a lengthy trail of power cord.
The cable loops over the front fence, which snakes from the road up a driveway and into a nearby home.
The owner even kindly installed a hazard cover over the section of the cord running across the public footpath so locals don’t trip over the cord while walking past.
As much as I loathe the Brisbane Bears/Lions, and also noting their success against Collingwood in a couple of Grand Finals 20 years ago, they simply must – must – flog those purty Geelong boys.

I had a .410 revolving shot gun and they do have a bit of a design flaw: there is ALWAYS leakage of hot gases and burning powder from the small gap where the cylinder meets the barrel. Unfortunately (unlike with a handgun) – with a long gun, your face goes rather close to said gap and hot gases.
If we’re welcome to country, why the talk of reparations?
The version I heard went “Excuse me, but do you know a four-letter word, meaning “essentially feminine” that ends in ‘unt’?”
If its our country too, why do we need welcoming, if its not, why should we pay reparations?
An Iron Truth.

Australia was first claimed for the British Crown, and settled as a penal colony for British convicts – if there is any issue of reparations, shouldn’t they foot the bill?
Oh, and if reparations are to be paid, shouldn’t only “full blood” Aborigines should be eligible?
As a wise man once said…can’t we all just get along?

They’ve received reparations. Tabulate the costs of all the benefits, the luxuries and benefits of whitey civilization, that we have increased their lifespan, access to entertainment, free medical care, modern infrastructure and transport.

Know little about octacosanol. Studies suggests it improves athletic performance, might also help with cholesterol management, if it activates the development of brown fat as it does in rodents that will be a good thing. Unfortunately DOT there are very few clinical trials. That’s not uncommon, there is a bias against supplementation. That is strong in the USA, not so much in Europe, and while some doctors say supplements are useless surveys find medical people take supplements at surprisingly high rates.
I not a great fan of antioxidants. High antioxidant intake can even impede the hormetic effect of exercise. Everyone knows about oxidative stress, few know about reductive stress. Too much hype and the studies haven’t supported the use of exogenous antioxidants but there is support for agents which promotes the body’s own antioxidants.
My view is that for those over 60 there can be value in judicious supplementation. By way of example, my sister and her husband, mid-70’s, excellent blood work, no medicines, no pathology, very active, and the husband is fitter and stronger than men 20 years younger. They have been taking supplements and carefully managing their health for over 30 years. It can pay off but we have to start at the latest in middle age and maintain the discipline. Too late for me, too long smoking tobacco. No regrets, don’t care, in fact I still enjoy smoking on an occasional basis, typically with the other type of smoking and a few wild turkeys.
Reductive Stress in Inflammation-Associated Diseases and the Pro-Oxidant Effect of Antioxidant Agents
I’m not a fan of the above journal DOT but if you go to pubmed and punch in “reductive stress” you’ll find studies pointing to it.
Here’s something weird I read in a review about antioxidants. Virtually all antioxidants, upon electron donation, become oxidants. Some can be regenerated in the cells through other electron donors. I don’t know the physiological significance of that but given the poor results from many studies on antioxidant administration I’m inclined to think the author might be onto something. The exception though is that for people past 60 there might be benefits because when glutathione and general antioxidant protections decline. That is even more true in conditions that generate oxidation events.
Wheat germ oil is a rich source of Vit E variants and related tocotrienols.
Walnuts are also a good source of E and T. BTW if you ever use an E supplement check the label carefully because often they high Alpha T content. Not good, too weak, go for the gamma variant. Stick to the wheat germ oil or walnuts.

BTW, in Boston we went to a nearby store on the way home. It was a predominantly black area, and very down and out. In the supermarket was a woman on the checkout who was “just off the bus” said one of the nearby ladies, who was supervising her. She couldn’t give change properly even though the till said how much to give.

13 years for pre-meditated murder….
After 13 years in jail for the murder of her partner Bob Chappell, Susan Neill-Fraser will be free within a matter of days.
The Parole Board of Tasmania is understood to have on Friday granted the 68-year-old grandmother parole, with sources suggesting she could be freed within days from Hobart’s Mary Hutchinson Women’s Prison.
Her large group of supporters were jubilant. “It’s very good news – we’re obviously very pleased with the decision,” said Rosie Crumpton-Crook, of the Neill-Fraser Support Group.
“We don’t know the detail – just that she’s been granted it, which we’re very, very happy about. We are very relieved.
“It is great for her family to all have Christmas together. Our main priority will be to give Sue and her family some privacy while they get to know each other again.”
In August, the High Court refused an application by Neill-Fraser for leave to appeal the Tasmanian Court of Criminal Appeal’s rejection of her second appeal.
She is serving a 23 year sentence for the murder of Mr Chappell, a radiation physicist, on board their yacht, the Four Winds, on the night of January 26, 2009.
The case has been highly controversial, with Neill-Fraser maintaining her innocence. There were no witnesses to Mr Chappell’s murder, and no murder weapon or body were found.

A quick travelogue before the thread ticks over to the weekend.
The lakes are unique and lovely. They are split into two sections, formed at different times in the earth’s history. The upper ones are dolomite, the lower limestone. What intrigued me was the tufa separating the lakes like dams – it is growing. It is also deposited on anything submerged – a boat sits at the bottom of crystal clear water, slowly being encased in rock.
The weather held off for the entirety of the walk of around 10kms, so we got to see the milky green of the lower lakes and contrast with the jade of the upper ones. The big waterfall was running, but not at full bore due to the drought. What intrigued me was the change in vegetation over the demarcation line with birch switching to beech and conifers. Lots of long streamers of tassel ferns and club mosses on the falls, full of tiny crystal droplets. There was a perfect photo around every corner.
When they feel able, Cats must visit this place. Europe has a marvellous built history and art and culture, but natural beauty is there too.
I forgot something. Fish.
The clear water makes fish spotting easy. Unfortunately the lakes suffer from a familiar problem – carp.
However, they have pike. This predator can control the fingerlings. I saw one today, my very first. It was pretending to be a branch, very still in the water with one fin gently keeping it in line with the bank. It saw me watching from above but its real quarry was a chance shoal of tiny fish.

Nice story emerging from the UK. The queue to pay respects to Her Maj now lying in state is now 14 hours long and wends its way across the Thames at Lambeth and around to opposite the Tower. Anyone who know London knows it’s a looooong queue. Along the way, they have snacks and loos and entertainments of sorts and everyone is being well behaved.
David Beckham hopped on the end and joined it. He may have reached Westminster hall by now. Or not. Either way, it was a bit of a thrill for the football fans.

Part of the strategy includes eliminating congenital syphilis – when a baby is born with syphilis from an infected mother.
