Triggered Memories of Melbourne
I just watched a StreetFilms.org film about the pedestrian paradise Melbourne. Now I?m missing Melbourne! When I visited it for about a week in June 2007 I walked hours through the city with another backpacker I met there. It is fun together. Melbourne is beautiful! I wonder if I could live there for a year or two.

Lutar até ao fim - Idosos autralianos aprendem esgrima
Em Melbourne na Austrália, as crianças com mais de 80 anos pertencentes ao ?Corpus Christi Catholic? têm vindo a aprender esgrima nos últimos 9 meses. Os auxiliares dizem que eles possuem grandes qualidades e já há alguns atletas em destaque. Até a irmã Dolores com os seus 93 anos não dispensa um duelo. Fonte: Oddity Central

of the rain can be heard vaguely as they try to deafen Anna Tsuchiya singing "I needdd youuurrr loveeeeee... like a brokeeennn roooseee~" wtf. A miserable 6 degrees outside altho it's nearly noon indicates that winter is approaching and days are just gonna get colder. Sipping carefully on a cup of steaming hot coffee in front of the laptop, I sit up straight as I realized I've been slouching and my back's beginning to ache. I look like 10 kinds of shit - messy hair, puffy eyes, c

sorprendente saber que todavía existen personas interesadas en aprender Español, sobre todo aquellas no solo de habla Inglesa.

Los vídeos cuentan (en Español) un poco la historia de Melbourne y el idioma Aussie. Son muy educativos, disfrutenlos.

There goes the Medal Tally
Kraft Foods commissioned a print advertisement for Vegemite in Australia in response to news that China would be banning foods not produced outside the country at the Beijing Olympics. There goes the medal tally! ?C?mon China Don?t Ban our Vegemite!? The Medal Tally ad was developed at JWT Melbourne by executive creative director Richard Muntz, art director Phil van Bruchem, copywriter Nick Weller. and typographer Daisy Kannis.

Promoting the Melbourne Event
Recently we had the opportunity to distribute fliers for the Melbourne screening at a couple of events, the ?Evening with Christopher Judge? event held by Culture Shock and the Firefly/Serenity convention held by Hub Conventions. We thank both of these events for allowing us to hand out our fliers. We have a copy of the flier that you can download and distribute yourself to help spread the word.

the girl is back in town
I flew into Melbourne the plane did a lovely big loop over the north of the city so I could pick out places I know and remind myself that this is my city. It's Autumn here and beautiful, cold and rainy and perfect weather for staying inside reading a good book. At the moment I'm staying at my parents and tomorrow will move into the new community. Since I have nothing bloggable to say about either of those things I thought I'd just tell you about my nieces welcome home. Abbey the youngest

THE AGE: Slug loggers too
Bilby, Kensington Letter, The Age, 15 May 2008 In "Plan to make timber industry pay for rain" (The Age, 11/5) the Victorian Government is deciding whether to make the plantation timber industry pay a fee for the rain that plantations soak up. This is because plantations reduce the amount of water that would otherwise flow into streams, thereby reducing water available for rural towns and the environment. If the Government is so concerned, why does it allow the native timber industry to cl

Billy Lane Trial Delayed Again
Bordering on ridiculous, Billy Lane?s manslaughter trial date still has not yet been set. Legal BS has put off a date with yet another hearing scheduled for the middle of June at which time the judge thinks they will be able to set (same as the last three hearings) a trial date. In a related matter, the woman riding in Lane?s truck when the accident happened has filed a lawsuit against both Lane and Chrysler Motors. If you can take it all the details from our lame ass (in)justice system are

Well?Maybe The Saints Are Crap After All! (Round Eight - The Great Letdown)
We suck, we suck, we suck, we suck, we suck?AAAHHHHHHHH!!! Perhaps it was a touch fitting that St Kilda and Collingwood opened proceedings for The Great Letdown last night. The Pies were one kick away from a grand final last year but have not looked as impressive so far this season. The Saints have held high expectations for a number of years now but the results have not lived up to them. So one set of supporters were bound to be left heavily deflated after this game. And that award goes

Lane trial in holding pattern
(Viera, Florida) State Attorney Tom Brown said he has been in a holding pattern for months waiting on the test results and decision of Billy Lane?s defense attorney Gregory Eisenmenger. Judge Allawas told Eisenmenger that she expects all motions and decisions to be made by no later than June 6th and scheduled the next pretrial hearing for June 12th when she expects to set a trail date in the DUI Manslaughter case that Lane has been faced with for almost two years now. Eisenmenger told the

Landlord crams 48 Nepalese students into one house
A MILLIONAIRE landlord has been stacking up to 48 Nepalese students in a single house in northern Melbourne and dozens in two other rundown properties, say council investigators. Hem Tamang, 36, lives in a modern double-storey Coburg property and runs a city restaurant - but makes big money by filling three suburban homes with dozens of students in each. One six-room house in Loch St, Coburg, had beds for 48 people when council officers raided it last week and slapped an unsafe premises notic

[05/12/2008, 22:07]	LiveSTRONG With A Taste Of Yellow Round Up 2008 Part 1

Drop dead gorgeous I'm dying to know I nearly died of embarrassment To die for I'm dying to go on holiday, give up work, move house, get married, whatever. I don't think so. No one ever died because they were attractive. No one died because they didn't know the latest gossip. No one ever died of embarrassment. Did you die when you ate that creme brulee, chocolate cake or drank vintage champagne? .............and no one ever, ever died because they didn't go on holiday, continued to work, stayed in the same house, didn't get married, or whatever. People die from accidents, heart attacks, any number of diseases like liver disease or kidney disease. Some people die because they are born into poverty in a third world country and some people die in war. Then there are those who die from cancer. Mothers, fathers, grandparents, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, friends, work colleagues, nieghbours. Happily there are also those who beat cancer. The ones who discover it early. And that is the secret to beating cancer - early detection. Which is why they have tests like mammographies, PAP smears, colonoscopies, PSA's, skin and mole checks. If you have a history of cancer in your family these checks are even more important. Discuss cancer screening with your doctor next time you visit. It could save your life. I would like to thank the 179 fabulous bloggers who cared enough to participate in LiveSTRONG With A Taste Of Yellow - 2008. Thank you for sharing your stories. I cried, I laughed and I rejoiced at the stories you shared. I'm honoured some of you chose to share your very personal stories with me via email, stories too painful to share with the world. While I was writing the round up I received a call to tell me a friend had lost her battle with cancer. There was a big difference in our ages and until we were both diagnosed with cancer we weren't close. Our friendship developed as we shared our cancer journey. Some of our conversations were about death and our theories on an after life. Those around us found it hard to comprehend how easily we talked about death. How we could laugh about how we wanted to look in our coffins. For her it was to be no make up at all , for me it is to be no rosy cheeks or red lipstick. She'd chosen her outfit already - something simple. I'm in no hurry to choose my outfit. I'm thinking something white and angelic :) No harm in looking the part. Don't be shocked when your loved ones use humour to talk about their cancer - it helps us overcome our fears. As much as I use humour to talk about my cancer, I no longer use the expressions - drop dead gorgeous, I'm dying to know, this chocolate is to die for, I'm dying to go on holiday, whatever. I'd like to dedicate A Taste Of Yellow 2008 to my friend Augusta . A remarkable woman with a great sense of humour, she enjoyed whiskey, Scotch Finger biscuits, good cheese and semillon wine. Because there were so many entries I have split it into two posts. There will be a link to the second part at the end of this post. I'd like to thank everyone who participated in LiveSTRONG With A Taste Of Yellow 2008. The following is in no particular order apart from entries with the wristband being featured first. Lynn in Augusta Gorgia at Cafe Lynnylu persuaded her husband Alex to pose for her entry in the photo competition. I'm sure he was rewarded with the bowl of this delicious Lemon Ice Cream with Lemon Curd Swirl. Some days I achieve very little (apart from a lot of laughter) when I spend far too much time on line chatting with Bron Marshall back in New Zealand. This Yellow Patty Pan Squash with Lemon and Currant Quinoa is just one of her many brilliant creations. Bev at Yummy In My Tummy in Kortenaken, Belgium made Lemon and Ginger Muffins in honour of her grandfather . Her handsome, smiling grandfather lost his battle with cancer only four years ago when he was just 68 years of age. Laurie from Astoria, New York with the delightful blog name Heaven is Chocolate, Cheese and Carbs has made these Sunny Caramel Cupcakes decoareted with yellow and white fondant. Chris at Mele Cotte runs another cancer themed event Cooking To Combat Cancer. She honours her gran who lost her battle with pancreatic cancer with a Mango Pepper Salsa. If Helene that lovely French Tartelette in the US comes to visit me I would hope she would pack her suitcase full of macarons. She makes the most delicious sounding (and looking) ones I've ever seen. Today she serves them in her Tropical Fruit Verrine with Peach Macarons. How good does that sound! Kalyn you all know from Kalyn's Kitchen in Salt Lake City said this about her Chipotle-Lime Deviled Eggs - these deviled eggs were so good, I ate the ones in the photo before the pictures had even loaded into my computer. She had me craving deviled eggs when I read the post. I decided to put these two dishes together as they both involve eggs but are totally different, which is the beauty of food blogging. I love how we see things differently and share our ideas. These Ouefs Mayonnaise are a favourite of Fred's and after previous mayonnaise attempts everything finally came together and Sam at Becks and Posh in San Francisco was happy with her home made mayonnaise. Recently I've been on a similar cooking wave length to ChichaJo at 80 Breakfasts in Manila in the Philippines. We both made labnah the same week and there I was eating a bowl of semolina when her Semolina Porridge popped up for A Taste Of Yellow. Arfi at HomeMadeS in Auckland New Zealand contributed two entries. She had some time to herself while her little ones were visiting their Grandmother so she whipped up this wonderful Banana and Coconut Pudding. Tami at Running With Tweezers in Atlanta Gorgia contributes a Tangy Tarragon Vinaigrette to serve with Yellow Tomatoes. Lori at Lip Smacking Goodness honours an aunt and her mother in law lost to cancer and celebrates those who have triumphed with this recipe for Mini Passionfruit Cheese Cake with Passionfruit Curd. Bron Marshall couldn't resist a second entry and as it is the end of summer in New Zealand corn is everywhere. I often bought it from road side stalls when driving on the outskirts of Auckland. Bron served the family a snack of Yellow Grilled Corn with Chilli Butter. My favourite Cream Puff in Canada, Ivonne at Cream Puffs in Venice is another blogger touched by cancer with the loss of her father in 2001. Thank you Ivonne for finding the time to participate with another fabulous cake. This year she lays a little yellow on us with a Lemon-Lime Cocounut and Macadamia Nut Cake. A healthy and colourful Corn Salad from the sweet Paz at The Cooking Adventures Of Paz. I get to enjoy the streets of New York through Paz's weekly photos. Tammy at Wee Treats By Tammy in Auckland dedicated her recipe from Cuisine for Lemon Rice Pudding With Cinnamon Ice Cream to her aunt undergoing chemo at the moment. Jennifer at Use Real Butter in Nederland Colorado has kicked cancer's ass. To make these Lemon Petit Fours despite currently undergoing chemo shows her strength of character. Ilva from Sweden now lives in Tuscany, Italy and daily shares her impressions of Italy with her photos at Lucullian Delights. She shares her recipe for Saffron and Carrot Cupcakes With Cardamom and Pinenuts. Arundathi at My Food Blog in Chennai, India contributes with an intriguing recipe for Lemon Rice. This fabulous looking Lemon Layer Cake is from Karen at Do Better in the San Francisco Bay Area. From Bristol in the UK, Sam's Mum Chris at Ms Cellania shared her delicious Lemon Curd last year. This year she has gone savoury with a delicious Kedgeree. From the family comments at the bottom of the post at Bake at 350 I can see Bridget's Mom Gayle was special and much loved. Bridget from Spring Texas made Rose Sugar Cookies in tribute to her mother. In New Zealand Morven at Food Art and Random Thoughts dedicates her recipe for Sicilian Peppers to friends and family touched by cancer. Judy at
