I was reading about another Dutch guy milking 800 cows here in Victoria in last weeks Weeky Times Rural paper. 400 of the cows are housed continually inside, split up into two groups the cows are milked 2.8 times every day by robotic milking machines. The other 400 are still on pasture and milked in a herringbone shed. Was only month or so ago i stated won't be long before cows are in pens like chickens, tis probably not far away from it already
Ronald Reagan should have been drawn and quartered, the stunt America played with the Hunt Brothers should be taken to the World Court cause was biggest financial scam run by any one country in the history of the world.
They pushed gold up to US$920 + and Silver to US$36 + but themselves in the case of gold bailed out at US$780 (around about) then at $900 + opened Fort Knocks and flooded the world with gold and silver, no doubt re-buying around the US$80.00 mark, bunch of scumbags
I got the CTEK MXS 5.0 charger coming, my feeling is the Projecta is doing just that half charging. Balmain Bike shop though also selling other brands twice recommended CTEK and i think its because the bike battery i purchased from him requires no more than 0.9amp while the CTEK has a bike setting in its program selection, which runs at 0.8amp, give me a few days and i'll let you know whether it does it properly mate. Just brought a Battery Load Tester tonight (why not) though its a Projecta i located one $48 delivered so gunner see if that's any good to. Should have the CTEK charger by Tuesday. Purchased on eBay but comes from Bairnsdale Electrics...$99 with free delivery. Bloke i talked to today had same problem, his answer hook it up in series with bigger battery then charge both

How frustrating, was just sitting in the sun on back door step and fox appeared on a bail of hay less than ten yards from me. He looked at me and calmly walked further along the row of bails, jumped down onto something and reappeared on next row of bails then repeated that onto the next row, meanwhile my camera is in the car errrrr, only managed to get one distant photo of him

been trying to charge bike batteries for three weeks, week ago brought new charger new batteries x2 first a sealed 12v Chinese one, but only charged for an hour and half then claimed was fully charged, started bike half doz times then flat, the other three chargers we got laying around wouldn't charge it said was faulty. Purchased a Projecta PC400 charger which I brought as its supposed to put in a 1 amp charge, yesterday another wet battery arrived a YB9-B, it only charged it for couple hours, both have 13.7 v in them but still charger didn't go into deep charge mode. Last night purchased another charger a CTEK MXS 5.0 its supposed to put in a 0.8amp charge (made in Sweden) purchased the YB9-B from Belmain Bike shop he recommends the CTEK so will see...
There is nothing in Buddhism that is taken on face value, the teachers unlike the limp wristed, don't tell you what to believe or not believe, the teachers like the Buddha, can only point the way, where you might look and why you might look there, the investigation and deduction from your own observation's is what the student is runs with.
Sounds to me like you'll be left right where you are in your understandings if your thinking someone is going to do the doing for you of that, that needs to be investigated, luck AA
You want to listen to some Christian trying discredit the Buddhist teachings or worse trying to substantiate some comparative value that's your right i really don't mind, if your that inclined then for you in your mind that is how you will continue to perceive what occurred. I think you or I are completely wasting our time discussing the subject, because whether either one or the other is correct or incorrect, is a complete nonsense. We all believe whatever it is we want to believe, from my side today the teachings are handed down by whom ever we consider as qualified to teach. Personally i mindfully rejected Christianity after carefully reviewing what was been said in versions of the bible, i deduced Jesus displayed a self cherishing mind, "oh father why have you for forsaken me"! and therefore for myself i reject his teachings

The most common and widely known formulation of the Buddha's teaching is that which the Buddha himself announced in the First Sermon at Benares, the formula of the Four Noble Truths.
Traditional schools of Buddhism hold - as their fundamental belief - Shakyamuni’s first sermon, the teaching of the Four Noble Truths, being: 1- the truth of suffering: dukkah, 2 - the truth of the origin of suffering 3- the truth of the cessation of suffering 4 - the truth of the path to the cessation of suffering.
The teaching of the Four Noble Truths was the first teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha. It is accepted in Traditional Buddhism, however, as the first and the final. Not all Mahayana sutras regard the first sermon of the Buddha as the final Buddhist teaching and examples are “The Profound Secrets Sutra”, and - in particular - “The Lotus Sutra” , which views the Four Noble Truths as only a preparatory teaching.
At the age of eighty, Shakyamuni passed away. The year before his death he stayed at Gridhrakuta (Eagle Peak) in Rajagriha. He set out on his last journey from Gridhrakuta proceeding northward across the Ganges River to Vaishali. He spent the rainy season in Beluva, a village near Vaishali. There he became seriously ill, but recovered and continued to preach in many villages. Eventually he came to a place called Pava in Malla. There he again became ill after eating a meal. Despite his pain, he continued his journey until reaching Kushinagara. There in a grove of sal trees he calmly lay down and spoke his last words. He admonished his disciples, saying, "You must not think that your teacher's words are no more, or that you are left without a teacher. The teachings and precepts I have expounded to you shall be your teacher" It is said that his final words were, "Decay is inherent in all composite things. Work out your salvation with diligence.”
Shakyamuni Buddha is the third Buddha known to have appeared on this earth.
Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical founder of Buddhism, was born in India approximately 2500 years ago. Shakyamuni Buddha was the son of Shuddhodana, the king of the Shakyas, a small tribe whose kingdom was located in the foothills of the Himalayas south of what is now central Nepal fifteen miles from Kapilavastu. Shakya of Shakyamuni is taken from the name of this tribe and muni means sage or saint. His family name was Gautama (Best Cow) and his given name was Siddhartha (Goal Achieved).
not somebody i had gone out with, had met her and sent her some flowers then perceived next evening phoned her (later heard was Abbots wife) couple weeks later Federal Police read a letter of mine i posted to her, and barred her from pubs, clubs and licensed premises cause i'd mentioned I saw her with another John in my letter.
wrong Shakyamuni Buddha, was born to Hindu parents who sheltered him from the nature of human suffering, one day he saw a sick guy so he went off and sat under the Bodhi tree
