Just listened on our ABC TV, an interview with a Libyan University Professor in Texas (USA) who just quarter of an hour ago, using a online network through Jordan, spoke to relatives in Libya and he expresses knowledge of blood bath occurring in Tripoli, and piles bodies else where, he explained Gaddafi supported a number of recent failed blood baths in Africa, Sierra Leone etc, people he supported later took refuge in Libya and now they are the people firing on the crowds. Also claimed Prime Minister of Italy has been supplying Gaddafi with riot gear…
Well no i don't think your wrong, though at commencement events in Egypt an Iranian Cleric popped up proclaiming it is occurring to remove Moslem leaders friendly with the West and particularly America and to get rid of Israel. Also i note North Korea (China) has again ceased talking with South Korea... A bit worm like i think...until the mop flops guess we can't really know the extent of what's going down
Oh its all linked, some think Iran is trying to close the Suez Channel, and behind it all (I think) China, most our oil currently comes from Indonesia, the largest Moslem nation in the world, and they not likely to jump ship...anything could happen, Egypt is far from settled, in practice a call for democracy isn't all it appears to be, not a bad idea, but Iran already acknowledged its behind it
TRIPOLI Feb 20 (Reuters) - The leader of the Al-Zuwayya tribe in eastern Libya threatened on Sunday to cut oil exports to Western countries within 24 hours unless authorities stop what he called the "oppression of protesters".
And what are you Valley Dwellers gunner eat if what's actually going down in international events turns into WW3.
How long do you think Coles and Wollies will have food on there shelf's if there is a hiccup in the fuel department, how long do you think you can survive?
I think some people claim to embrace any religionist thought or something similar, also the site selections describing a persons belief's are a bit limited. Personally i think Buddhist / Taoist other than in Mainland China, is somewhat insulting to most Buddhists. To my mind the notion of a one god grossly misleads actual reality and is a harmful and that karma somehow arises from chance is a gross misinterpretation of Buddhist thought.
On the other hand there are lots of scammers hoping someone can't help themselves if they push the right emotional button
Your not being realistic, though you share time with others, your family and friends, you’re an individual and always have been. Its normal mate so be content and happy with yourself. A Buddhist I believe our nature is moving energy, you’ve put out the need to share your life with a partner, its on the way, whether or not she turns up in this life or not, doesn’t matter…she’ll turn up, when she does worry mate!!

They really are doing a good job, its all in-stink they stay with the sheep, play amongst them, one sit either side of the flock, they allow the Tup the sheep/cattle working dog to round up the sheep, lean on the rails watching Tup working in the yards, amassing to watch. The first two we attempted to use, didn't bond, we gave them six weeks but they started killing neighbours sheep so sad ending. Both those were timed, came from SA. But these two whooo, they really are good
Astonished, today here on a 1000-acre farm near Ensay in Victoria, both one-year-old Maremma Sheepdogs guarding a flock of sheep turned up at the wool shed barking and barking. So I thought oh something is wrong and got my Ute and drove over to them and they ran off alongside the Ute down the track from whence they had come.
I had grabbed a bag of dog biscuits to top up their food bin, however on opening the third gate I noticed nearby a fence a sick looking ewe standing alone. I noted that and then drove on to top up the dogs tucker box, and noted one dog had stopped and stayed behind by the sick ewe, while the other trailed along following the Ute. After emptying a bag of biscuits into the bin I drove back over to the sick ewe, which had received cuts to both hind legs from recent shearing. Oh she had a lot of dags, and appears the shearer had a problem cutting them off. (sh.t happens)
What astonished me was that two Maremma Sheepdogs (both neutered males) would come and communicate that a sheep had a problem. The dogs are just one year old, they arrived here at eight weeks old, for nine weeks they remained in the wool shed to bond with seven lambs, they then spent around three days with rest the lambs outside the wool shed, a mob of 40 odd young sheep, that we hoped they would bond with. Then they were shifted to a quite large paddock that wild-dogs had been killing sheep in, (around sixty acres) and left to it…and no, no sheep have been killed since. Every week or so there biscuit bin was topped up, and on a few occasions John tossed them dog bones. They have had no other interrelationship with humans. They never have been patted or at any time touched by a human, in essence they are completely wild dogs. Approximately four weeks ago I checked on them and found one of the sheep in their mob had got out into the neighbours property. One Maremma Sheepdog stayed with the mob and the other stayed with the sheep over the fence in the neighbours place, best as I could tell both had been next door a few days, all the time whatever it was, one dog had stayed with the one next door. It took me a while to get that single sheep back into the paddock, often while trying, the two Maremma Sheepdogs ran ahead and stopped the sheep running away, and had repeatedly got it to follow them back towards me. So I knew the dogs were watching, but what we saw today was to my mind really remarkable. Anybody interested in checking wiki for Maremma Sheepdog
Got a phone call around nine asking if I’d like to take another drive through the bush from Swifts Creek over Johns Rd to Dago, onto Braigolong, then up through Bullumwaal, onto Bald Hill road and backsie, took few photos including four deer, but alas when looked further spotted a deer fence between us... Driving down through to Braigolong was different and rather interesting
"part of forminig their own government but rather to oversee a fair transitional government that leads to proper elections."!
Its pretty hard for me to believe political parties not lead by religious dogma will eventuate for the forming of democracy that separates government from religion
Kissinger sold us out in Vietnam assisted the communists to win the day, Greenspan bloody clown running the fed who sunk international trade, also interfered free trade that he had promoted
I guess elections will for get forgotten, and foreign will remain pretty much the same. Better than the likely alternatives presented by the sheep on the streets
An Egyptian president is assassinated and replaced with Air Force Mibarak, and now it’s the army’s turn, well at lest for a while its not some lunatic Iranian backed Mufti that’s running the country…
Its sad really, i felt inclined to use my credit card to donate to the guy whose yacht sank in the Brisbane river. The suggestion to donate to the mayor of Brisbane fund really me put me off. He popped up on the news stating he needed (not sure whether it was) 4 million or forty million to put back the Brisbane river walk-way. I find his projects and constant media babbling a deeply offensive. And listening to recent news the Brisbane mayors slush fund is being used to rebuild public infrastructure. Though saying that i understand a lot has been used for taking away the rubbish and other useful activities of Brisbane council, but pumping out his tunnels and fixing toll ways and the cosmetic yuppy walk-way...
Politicians seem to think there grand plans and health advice constitutes news, i don't. They are there to carry out the wishes of the electors, not dictate to there bosses, the electors.
Cough Cough Cough months of it, finally the other day while checking out at ALD's noticed Benifex Allergy & Hayfever Relief it has Chinese herb called Baical Skullcap and Albiza which is an Australian tree i think in it. That seemed to move the gunk along
glad to hear your doing ok, thunder and lightening here, plus smoke, lots of smoke appeared from south west, probably to far west to have come from Nowa Nowa. Glad to hear your friends are ok. best wishes
Protesters claiming they want freedom all sounds great however I think Albertaghost is more likely on the button. One big plot plotted in Iran to close the Suze (of course Israel to) but maybe a nasty plot that gunner cause havoc. Iranian leaders don't care how many there own people they murder, never lone others, me thinks China is also involved at least to the extent its copy cat method implored in Nepal, masters at plotting the downfall of civilized societies
