Moving on the week just gone saw the change in the equinox, which means we are now on our way back to the wet season as half the dry has passed. It also saw the super moon which is when the moon passes as close as it ever does to the earth each year, and I believe there were a few large full moon party's to celebrate that on the island. Great stuff. The AFL footy wasn't too bad last weekend with I'd say the game of the round going to the Brisbane Lions with a 52 point come back against Geelong. What a great game to watch when the Lions staged one of the best I have ever seen comebacks in the history of the game, upsetting premiership fancies Geelong at the Gabba.The Lions trailed by 52 points late in the third term, before whacking on 10 of the last 11 goals of the match to snatch what seemed an almost impossible victory just 30 minutes earlier. I think everyone would have to agree that a close game is a good spectator game and while sitting with Russell the Love Muscle we sank a few green ones and ended up cheering for the under dogs. I don't think many would have tipped the Lions but hey, that's how it goes sometimes. The past week has also seen one of the biggest ever infrastructure undertaking on the island almost completed, being the toll road project from the airport and what can I say other than wow. I was sitting with old mate enjoying a few more greeny's and was told by him that within 48 hours they will make a massive roundabout to integrate the bypass and the toll way from the airport and that when I ride home tonight I will probably see it almost done. With that I've disagreed as in Bali things work on Bali time and after a few more cold green ones I've got it in my head that I will take special care to slow down and look while heading home, which I did and as I thought nothing had been started or remotely looked like starting. The very next day I have jumped on the trusty scooter to go about my day and on the way in I notice the traffic flowing that little bit easier, and when I got to the end of the runway on the bypass I couldn't believe it as there was an almost complete roundabout. These people never cease to amaze me when they really want to get something done quick they seriously make it happen. On the drive home the next day, and within 48 hours, there is now a roundabout fully functioning with the landscape gardening company finishing off the planting of advanced palms and shrubs to make it look about as good, if not better than, anything you would see in the world. I take my hat off to the powers that be on the island for making the underpass and the toll road happen in such a timely professional manner and can only look forward to seeing the new airport when it is done. The fact that I said to Boof Head that I'll eat my hat if there is a completed roundabout in 48 hours has no bearing on this editorial and shall never be discussed again. Smart a@%#rse. Ok folks that's about the bottom of the page so I will bid you farewell for another week and trust that the most of you stay safe, happy, healthy and always remember, Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe. Enjoy your week, ALIASJ

Record crowds lined up for day one of the 2013 Wimbledon tennis championships on Monday as action got underway early on Centre Court with pigeonscarer, Rufus the hawk, clearing away pesky bird life and forecasts for a dry day.
With his own Twitter account and Facebook page, Rufus has become one of Britain's best-known birds, deployed from 5 a.m. daily to clear pigeons roosting at the All England Club at Wimbledon that hosts the world's oldest tennis tournament. This year, his handlers Anna and Imogen Davis, are keeping close tabs on Rufus who was stolen from their car overnight last year and was missing for three days before being found, abandoned in his transportation cage, on Wimbledon Common. Anna Davis, from the company Avian Control Systems, said she suggested using hawks to clear the courts of pigeons about 14 years ago while at Wimbledon as a spectator and has been coming every morning of the two weeks championship ever since. "With Rufus and the pigeons it ends up being fight or flight and the pigeons usually opt for flight," as the

Maine's Republican Governor, Paul LePage, touched off a round of criticism when he made a vulgar remark about a Democratic state senator.
LePage said during a television interview that Senator Troy Jackson, with whom he has sparred recently over budget issues, "claims to be for the people, but he's the first one to give it to the people without providing Vaseline." The remarks followed LePage's promise, at an Americans for Prosperity rally in Augusta, the state capital, to veto a $6.3 billion, two-year budget. Democrats criticized LePage's unwillingness to compromise on the bipartisan budget, which last week passed with two-thirds majorities in both the Maine House and Senate.
News Corner
LePage's office dismissed the criticism as a distraction from important budgetary issues. "This wasn't the first time that expression had been used in the State House," Samantha Warren, a spokeswoman for the governor, told Reuters. She said LePage's words reflected the governor's frustration with a budget that raised taxes. "That's where we should be focusing our time right now, and not on these comments," Warren said. Jackson called the comments "inappropriate, but nothing new," and said they reflected the governor's attitude that if "you're not 100 percent with him, then he doesn't want to deal with you. "Unfortunately, that's not the way government works," he added.

10 Things to Do with Your Kids on a Bali Holiday
Conde Nast Traveller has published a list of ten things for people visiting Bali with their children to do. Some of the options included in their list and other options are: Sea Walking: Club Aqua Bali (For ages 9 to 12) Suitable for people who can't swim and with no previous diving experience, children (and their parents) can walk on the ocean's bottom viewing the sea life at depths of 3-5 meters using special breathing apparatuses. Adventure Time: Bali Treetop (For ages 4 to 17) ]located in Bedugul, in the cooler mountain lake district of Bali, families with children as young as four can literally swing from tree to tree. A special Squirrel Yellow Circuit has been designed for the very youngest set (aged 4 to 8 years). Be sure to try the footbridge, monkey track, fishing net and mini Flying fox. Up Close with the wildlife: Bali Zoo (For ages 2 to 14) Located a short distance from Bali's capital of Denpasar, the Bali Zoo features a petting area in addition to its extensive display of exotic wildlife. White water rafting: Bali SOBEK and Bali Adventure Tours (For ages 7 to 15). Bali two leading white-water operators offer rafting adventures on the Ayung River and Telaga Waja River suitable for families with children as young as 7 year of age. Trips range for 1.5 to 2.5 hours and include a delicious lunch. A natural education: Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary (For ages 3 to 12) Bali has a number of unique temples that serve as sacred preserves for tribes of monkeys. Hang on to your glasses, camera and pocket contents that are often flinched by the cheeky monkeys. Rent a Car with Driver for an Entire Day and monkey around with you children. Feathers aplenty: Bali Bird Park (For ages 2 to 12) The Bali Bird Park is home to some 1,000 birds covering 250 species. There are exciting walk-through displays where guests share an enclosure with the birds and plenty of chances to pose for a photograph with a tame feathered friend. Water sports and more: Waterbom Park (For ages 2 to 12) A landmark in Bali since 1993, the constantly evolving park has a mind-boggling array of water attractions including giant slides, boomerangs and meandering moats to float on. Animals and more: Bali Safari and Marine Park (For all age groups) This park has it all! The largest collection of exotic animals, a marine park and now an exciting theatre with stage performances presented by 250 performers and an entire menagerie of wildlife. Go diving: Nusa Lembongan Island (For ages 8 and above) Put yourself in the capable hands of one of Bali's most experience dive operators and explore the underwater wonders surrounding Bali's nearest island neighbors. Burst of culture: Devdan Show Bali (For ages 4 to 12) The Devdan show is definitely on the list of most do in Nusa Dua. A 90minute show stage by a talented troupe of dancers using spectacular stagecrafts, including daring rope and wire effects, are just part of the fun that awaits at these evening performances. Clearly, Bali offers a large range of fun-filled family options.
The Democratic speaker of the House of Representatives immediately blasted the remark "LePage's language today crosses a new line, even for him," House Speaker Mark Eves said. "I would not want my children to hear these vulgar comments from the highest official in our state on the evening news."

South Sydney will remain atop the NRL at the end of round 15 after completing a 30-10 win over Parramatta at the Olympic stadium on Sunday afternoon.
well placed kick was touched down for a try by winger Dylan Farrell. It took just three minutes of the second half for Souths to extend their 12-4 halftime lead to a 14-point advantage. Another Reynolds kick set up a try to Hunt. Sio's intercept try provided a rare moment of joy for Parramatta, but Reynolds brushed off some flimsy defence for the Rabbitohs's fourth try. Busy hooker Issac Luke drew defenders to set up a clear passage for Sutton to score the Rabbitohs's fifth and final try in the 63rd minute. The result makes five losses in a row for Ricky Stuart's Eels, who are propping up the table in 16th place with just three wins to show for a nightmare campaign. But half-back Chris Sandow was upbeat about his team's showing despite the loss. "It was a tough night, we started off well," he said. "But big credit to the boys, we stuck in there for the whole 80 [minutes]. Penalties just killed us and that's something we've got to work on as a group."

Dear Martha, My wife & I were finding the bedroom scene boring, after many discussions the only agreement we came too was to have a theesome with another woman. This has worked for 3 months but I now find myself in an awkward position. It seems the two ladies are having more fun together & I find myself sitting watching & not being included. While this is every man's fantasy, I can't help but think something's not right as the only time she will sleep with me is if the other woman is there. Does this mean they have fallen in love? What should I do? Ross Dear Ross, Sometimes it is better to keep a fantasy as a fantasy as they generally end up to be a disappointment. Clearly you didn't full fill your wife in the bedroom & this other woman does. It might be time for a dose of communication before you find yourself in a relationship with your hand dear. Martha

Wests Tigers secured a second win in three weeks as they edged Canberra 17-12 late in the piece at Campbelltown on Saturday night. But it was not all good news for Mick Potter's already battered troops, with Tigers hooker Masada Iosefa taken off with a broken forearm on a sour note for the home side. Acting Tigers captain Benji Marshall delivered a couple of big plays, kicking the match-tying sideline conversion and edged the Tigers ahead 13-12 with a 73rd-minute field goal. Winger Tim Simona sealed the Tigers' win two minutes later when he twisted his body and planted the ball over the line for a try. The Tigers scored three tries to two in a mistake-marred game which was played in heavy rain in the second half.

Gangnam Style
"Gangnam Style" Is the 18th K-popsingle by the South
Korean musician Psy. The song was released in July 2012 as the lead single of his sixth studio album Psy 6 (Six Rules), Part 1, and debuted at number one on South Korea's Gaon Chart. On December 21, 2012, "Gangnam Style" became the first YouTube video to reach a billion views. As of June 23, 2013, the music video has been viewed over 1.663 billion times on YouTube, and it is the site's most watched video after surpassing Justin Bieber's single "Baby. The phrase "Gangnam Style" is a Korean neologism that refers to a lifestyle associated with the Gangnam District of Seoul. The song and its accompanying music video went viral in August 2012 and have influenced popular culture worldwide since then. "Gangnam Style" received mixed to positive reviews, with praise going to its catchy beat and Psy's amusing dance moves (which themselves have become a phenomenon) in the music video and during live performances in various locations around the world. In September 2012, "Gangnam Style" was recognized by Guinness World Records as the most "liked" video on YouTube. It subsequently won Best Video at the MTV Europe Music Awards held later that year. It became a source of parodies and reaction videos by many different individuals, groups and organizations while also inspiring dance mobs in Paris, Rome, and Milan, with tens of thousands of participants each. On New Year's Eve 2012, more than one million people witnessed a live "Gangnam Style" performance in Times Square, New York City, featuring Psy and rapper MC Hammer, as well as in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. As the song continued to rapidly gain popularity and ubiquity, its signature dance moves were attempted by many notable political leaders such as the British Prime Minister David Cameron, U.S. President Barack Obama, and United Nations Secretary-GeneralBan Ki-moon, who hailed it as a "force for world peace". Its influence on political activism was exemplified by the short film Gangnam for Freedom, produced by the British sculptor AnishKapoor to advocate the freedom of expression with the support of various human rights organizations such as Index on Censorship and Amnesty International. According to the United Nations' news division, Psy has become an "international sensation" through his song "Gangnam Style". On May 7, 2013, at a bilateral meeting with South Korea's President Park Geun-hye at the White House, U.S. President Barack Obama cited the success of "Gangnam Style" as an example of how people around the world are being "swept up" by the Korean Wave of culture. The term was listed in Time's weekly vocabulary list as a manner associated with lavish lifestyles in Seoul's Gangnam district,Psy likened the Gangnam District to Beverly Hills, California, and said in an interview that he intended in a twisted sense of humour by claiming himself to be "Gangnam Style" when everything about the song, dance, looks, and the music video is far from being such a high class.

In order to keep up with expectations, he studied hard to find something new and stayed up late for about 30 nights to come up with the "Gangnam Style" dance. Along the way, he had tested various "cheesy" animal-inspired dance moves with his choreographer, including panda and kangaroo moves, before settling for the horse trot, which involves pretending to ride a horse, alternately holding the reins and spinning a lasso, and moving into a legs-shuffling side gallop. According to the news agency Agence France-Presse, the success of "Gangnam Style" could be considered as part of the Korean Wave, a term coined by Chinese journalists to refer to the significant increase in the popularity of South Korean entertainment and culture since the late 1990s.

But the Bulldogs came home with a wet sail as Dene Halatau and Krisnan Inu added converted tries to give the visitors a fright. Canterbury came into round 15 on a four-game winning streak and had history on its side after having beaten the Roosters in their last four meetings at the venue. The tri-colours had not won at Homebush since round four of 2008. The Roosters were missing Origin stars Michael Jennings, James Maloney and Mitchell Pearce but they made their intentions known immediately as Shaun KennyDowall crashed over in the fifth minute. They were guided around the field by Maloney's back-up Daniel Mortimer, who had a hand in everything and put in an excellent kicking game in the win. "I've had a dodgy knee the last few weeks and I haven't played 80 [minutes] in quite awhile," a puffing Mortimer told Grandstand. "I think the cramps were coming in about 60 minutes too and I just had to keep moving and the boys really helped me out." Mortimer, who was signed by the Roosters last season after drifting in and out of the Parramatta line-up in 2011, said
Williams had been in doubt with a glute injury during the week but also turned in an impressive showing in a roving role around half-back. Ben Barba scored a stylish try in the right corner to get Canterbury on the board but for the next 50 minutes it was all the Chooks as Kenny-Dowall and Boyd Cordner each completed doubles. The Bulldogs hit back with Halatau and Inu's tries but it was just too late. "To give such a good defensive side like the Roosters so much points [buffer] to chase down, it was always going to be difficult and certainly something we'll learn a lot from," Bulldogs skipper Michael Ennis told

A condemned murderer who tried to seek his own death warrant after Oregon's antideath penalty governor stopped all executions in the state cannot reject that reprieve, the Oregon Supreme Court ruled.
Democratic governor John Kitzhaber, in a major salvo in the nation's longrunning battle over capital punishment, issued a blanket reprieve to all 36 prisoners on Oregon's death row in November 2011, saying he would allow no more executions on his watch because he believed the death penalty was morally wrong. But Kitzhaber, a former emergency room physician, stopped short of permanently commuting the sentences, saying the state's law on capital punishment was not his alone to decide. That move came just a month before the scheduled execution of Gary Haugen, who had been convicted in two brutal killings and who responded by suing to seek his own death warrant. Haugen argued that he did not want to live in limbo under an indefinite and impermanent reprieve, and a lower court ruled he could reject the reprieve. But the state's highest court overturned that decision. The opinion by Oregon Chief Justice Thomas Balmer found that "nothing inherent in the word 'reprieve' requires the recipient's acceptance for the reprieve to be effective." The court, in a ruling welcomed by Kitzhaber, also

Kitzhaber said in a statement. Oregon has executed only two people in the last 50 years, one in 1996 and one in 1997. Both were carried out in a prior Kitzhaber administration, which he has said was deeply troubling to him. Six states, Connecticut, Illinois, New Mexico, New York, New Jersey and Maryland have repealed the death penalty since 2007, according to the Death Penalty Information Centre. A total of 18 U.S. states have ended the death penalty. Haugen was convicted of killing his girlfriend's mother in 1981. He and another prisoner were later convicted of the 2003 killing of another inmate while Haugen was serving his sentence for the first murder.

Gold Coast downs Origin-weakened Melbourne for first Monday night win since 2010
Gold Coast took advantage of the absence of Melbourne's State of Origin stars with a 1912 win over the defending premiers at Robina on Monday night.
Without stars Cam Smith, Billy Slater, Cooper Cronk and Ryan Hoffman the Storm's three-match winning streak came to an end but they hung in there until the end. It was all locked up at 6-6 at half-time before the Titans edged ahead with an Anthony Don try at the 57minute mark. Debutant Storm fullback Ben Hampton got his side back into contention six minutes later with the second try of his brace, but an Aiden Sezer penalty goal kept the L u k e O'Dwyer then dived over for the Titans in the last minute to seal his team's first Monday night victory since 2010. Gold Coast moves into fifth with its eighth win of the season, leapfrogging Cronulla (18, +4) on points for-andagainst. The Storm remains second on the ladder, three points behind South Sydney and just one ahead of the Roosters.

In Brisbane the Lions trailed by as many as 52 points in the third term and came into the last quarter facing a 38-point deficit and their ninth loss of the season. But a stunning comeback saw Brisbane kick eight goals to Geelong's lone major in the final term and 10 of the last Delivery in Kuta, Legian, Tuban 11 to sink the visitors 15.13 (103) to 14.14 (98). min orders may apply to other areas McGrath took a mark from Dayne Zorko 55 metres out a split second before the siren sounded, and Cats coach Chris OPEN FROM 10am TILL 6pm Scott was visibly unimpressed on the boundary line as he saw who had reeled it in. The veteran Lions hardman set himself and belted the 0898 0137 019 winning goal and his third for the evening, bringing the Gabba crowd to its feet. 0819 3306 0595 "You practise that when you're a child, you're out on the e-mail:jkbdibali@yahoo.com.au oval by yourself and you think to yourself 'after the siren, can you kick the goal?'"

"I couldn't get near it in the second half and lucky Dayne Zorko could see me and when I marked it I think there was about a second to go. "I took a few deep breaths and just went through the process that you go through all the time so I was lucky. "It wasn't pretty off the boot but the full moon ... something pushed it through." Lions midfielder Brent Moloney kicked all three of his goals in the fourth quarter and almost had a fourth while Zorko, Jed Adcock, Pearce Hanley, Mitch Golby and Daniel Rich all came up big when it counted. Rich's second goal was a huge one for the Lions, levelling the scores with two minutes to play. Geelong star Tom Hawkins, who already had three for the game, looked like he was about to get the Cats out of the noose but he gave them just a one-point buffer when his set shot was wayward. Timeless midfielder Simon Black topped all comers with 33 possessions and five tackles in his 320th appearance, while Rich (25 touches), Jack Redden (22) and Moloney (22) were all busy as well. The Cats, who had only lost one game coming into the twilight clash in Brisbane, were led by Hawkins's hattrick and two goals apiece from Steve Johnson and Steven Motlop. Johnson may have attracted the attention of the match review panel for a heavy bump that left Brisbane's Irish defender Hanley reeling, although he was not placed on report initially..
