Continued from page 1 The chairman of Commission VII, S. Milton Pakpahan, on a group junket of national legislators to Bali, said the impetus to create more Bali-based power generation capabilities follows the total blackout of the Island that occur on Saturday, July 12, 2014. “As a major tourism destination, the incident that caused Bali to go dark must be anticipated and prevented in the future,” said Pakpahan. For this reason, Pakpahan said he would continue to lobby for the development of Indonesia's energy sector through research

and technology. Bali, he said, must strive to become more energy independent, reducing or eliminating the need for power distributed from Java's power grid. Another member of Commission VII expressed similar sentiments, Sutan

Bhatoegana said Bali was a “window on Indonesia” adding, “whatever happens in Bali receives the interest and spotlight of the entire world. Because of this, Bhatoegena agrees with Pakpahan, saying Bali is a “special case” – especially as regards the development of renewable fuel sources. Bali currently consumes 794.752 kilowatts with minimal stand-by reserve of 19.8 megawatts. The majority of Bali's power is “imported” from generating stations in nearby Java. www.balidiscovery.com

BALI THE RIGHT WAY Gday again folks and welcome to the Lebaran edition of the hottest little newspaper in Bali, It's a great time of year on the island as we all (well almost all of us) get a weeks holiday. Many local people will take off back to their villages or home towns for a quick break as the holiday pay hits the bank accounts. The buses will be flat out and everything comes almost to a standstill. There are the usual supply issues that we have every year with somethings, but this usually rights aliasj@kutaweekly.com itself in a few days as the powers that be let the trucks start rolling on the island again. Being that Bali is probably the most desirable place to take a vacation, and not just for us Westerners, which means there is about a billion peope from all around Indonesia and South East Asia that are heart set on heading to Bali to enjoy some time off. The powers that be will generally stop all no essential trucks from entering the island as there are literally thousands and thousands of cars heading our way. I remember a few years back old mate Fester took a trip awy from the island during the holidays and did a run to Java and always talks about the line of cars that were parked waiting for the green light to board the ferry. The line of trucks also went for miles apparently. Over the next few weeks while you enjoy your time its going to be always a good idea to take the bike instead of the car as the traffic is gonna be the kind of stuff that nightmares are made of. I hope all my friends enjoy the time and have a great holiday. I also thank the staff at the Kuta Weekly for doing such a great job over the past year, and will say that you are worth your weight in gold. Moving along, I think I need to mention the doomed MH17 flight that the world lost from the skys over the Ukraine, and what can I say?? As a grown up we see these things happen and if you have half a heart, the level of non understanding is too much for most people to comprehend. The entire episode can be boiled down to one word, “WHY”, which I keep asking myself…. Why would a perfectly sane person, a perfectly trained person, pull the trigger on a rocket machine and shoot at a plane load of completely innocent people ?? Why would a huge airline decide to fly over a war zone instead of taking an extra 20 minutes worth of fuel to fly around ?? Why are people all around the world struggling to explain to their children why Daddy or Mummy arent coming home?? A terrible thing and one this writter hopes never happens again…

Bali – the Island and its people - are deeply spiritual. News carried by NusaBali underlines this deep spirituality with news precipitated by the tragic loss of MH17, shot down from the skies over the Ukraine. On board that flight was a 24-year-old Balinese man, I Wayan Sujana, who was on his way back to Bali after attending the wedding of friends in Belgium when his life was tragically cut short. A self-made man coming from the most humble of economic circumstances in North Bali, Sujana was the backbone and future hope of his family distinguishing himself as a scholar and entrepreneur at an early age. In accordance with Balinese belief that the souls of the dead are in danger of roaming aimlessly in another dimension unless prescribed prayers and rituals are performed that will guide the dead and leading them to the final disposition of their remains in a

8

manner that will guarantee a safe and continuing journey of the soul. Sujana's family have had no news from the war zone where the plane fell or from Malaysian Airline regarding their brother and son's body, clarifying if Wayan's body has been found and identified. In an atmosphere of u r g e n c y, c e r e m o n i e s w e r e conducted in the man's home village of Pejarakan on Saturday, July 19 - little more than one day after the plane fell. Conducted by Balinese priests adept at communicating with the spirit world, a Nebusin ceremony was help to help guide the young man's soul and body back to his home and family temple. Held on Saturday morning, the spiritualist spoke to Wayan

saying in Balinese “I'm confused. Confused. Where am I? It's so hot here.” Wayan's father, I Ketut Ginastra, prays that his son's remains, regardless of their state, are quickly returned to Bali to permit prayers and a cremation seen as essential to permit Wayan's restful repose and the continuing journey of his soul. Malaysian authorities have asked the family to provide DNA evidence to aid in the identification of Wayan's remains and also asked the family to prepare for a flight to Kuala Lumpur that will serve as the receptive center for human remains once they are made available by Ukrainian officials. The family learned of their son's death in the early hours of Friday, July 18th when a neighbor and friend of Wayan awoke the family to share the tragic news regarding the crash being broadcast by the international media.

Police to Stop People Defecating On Trains “Yes you read that right, we have no idea what would possess someone to drop their pants and poop on a passing train, but guess what it is happening,' the policeman said.

'Take this as a warning… If we catch you with your pants down defecating on the train you will be charged with everything we can find that fits the elements to the crime,' he added. Uxbridge police say they're looking for people who were seen committing the act. The defecation issue is one of several that the “Carpool DeVille, a fully functioning railroads are dealing with in their town.”

and mobile hot tub built into a 1969 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, raised $11,251 on the crowd funding website this week, more than $1,000 over its target. Its creators Phil Weicker and Duncan Forster, two McMaster University engineering graduates who now work in the U.S., hope to use the money to bring their brainchild to Speed Week, an annual racing event at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats, in August. If Carpool DeVille successfully makes its debut at the race, it would be recognized as the world's fastest hot tub.”

Footy's greatest number: What is the best jumper number in North Melbourne history? WHAT is the greatest number worn at North Melbourne? Read Glenn McFarlane's nominees and cast your vote. 18 — worn by Wayne Carey, Jock McCorkell, Paul Feltham It's hard to go past No. 18 as the jumper that has made the biggest impact on North Melbourne as its greatest player — Wayne Carey — wore the number. Carey was a colossus of the club and was twice a premiership skipper. He was one of the greatest footballers of all time, not just of his generation. Jock McCorkell played 167 games from 1940-42 and 1946-53, winning the club's best-and-fairest in 1952. Paul Feltham was a member of North Melbourne's 1975 premiership side, playing 128 games. 29 — Brent Harvey, Peter German, Michael Gaudion, Phil Baker When Brent Harvey was handed his first Kangaroos jumper, the No. 29 had a solid history at the club. Three hundred and seventy nine games later, he has turned the jumper into one of the most famous in the club's history. Harvey has made it his own across 19 seasons,

creating a legend that will surely end with him playing more than 400 games. Before him, Peter German wore the number across 185 games from 1984-94. Michael Gaudion managed 152 games for the club in that jumper from 1957-67. And Phil “Snake” Baker played 97 games for the club, including the 1977 premiership. 27 — Keith Greig, Laurie Dwyer, Darren Crocker There were few things that eluded Keith Greig in his playing career — two Brownlow Medals (1973-74), club best-and-fairest (1980), premiership player (1975), captain (1976-79), Victorian player and captain, as well as AFL Team of the Century wingman. He did it all in the No. 27. Earlier, Laurie Dwyer was an outstanding player for the club in the same jumper, playing 201 games from 1956-70. He was named on the other wing to Greig in the North Melbourne Team of the Century. Darren Crocker has been

an influential person at Arden St for many years in a number of different roles. He played 165 games for the club from 1985-98, including the 1996 flag. 4 — Ross Glendinning, Mick Martyn, Sam Kekovich Ross Glendinning won a Brownlow Medal in the No. 4 jumper for the Roos. He played 290 games for the club from 1978-86 before returning to WA to join West Coast's inaugural team. While a VFL-AFL premiership eluded Glendinning, Mick Martyn managed two flags in his time in the Kangaroos' No.4. Martyn played 190 games for the club before an ill-fated stint with Carlton. And Sam Kekovich won a best-and-fairest and played in the 1975 flag before taking on a much bigger media profile after his footy career. 11 — Glenn Archer, Michael Firrito Glenn Archer was named the Shinboner of the Century after an inspirational career in the No. 11. He wore it across 16 seasons and 311 games. And when Archer retired, he handed the number over to Michael Firrito, who continues to wear it with pride.

Swans eye Hawks, not records THE Sydney Swans are out to break a record that has stood longer than the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Staring down 13 consecutive wins when they play Hawthorn on Saturday night at the MCG, a win will break the record that was first set when they were the South Melbourne Football Club. Before moving north of the Victorian border and becoming the Sydney Swans, South Melbourne set the record of 12 straight wins in 1918, 96 years ago and 14 years before the famous coat hanger bridge opened. More recently, a 79 year-old record of 12 consecutive wins stands, set again by South Melbourne, between rounds 2 and 13 of the 1935 VFL season. But Sydney co-captain Kieren Jack played down the impressive club record. “Records are made to be broken, but that's all I really buy into it, it's been a good run but we need to continue,” Jack said. “It's just another game and another test where we can challenge ourselves against one of the best. “We'll see where we are at and where our structure stands up against probably one of the best teams in the last couple of years.

“The way we focus week-in-week-out is like that, we don't focus on winning streaks or anything like that. “It's a week to week process and we just want to win.” While the Swans have enjoyed a fierce rivalry with West Coast in past years, a new rivalry is emerging between the Bloods and the Hawks. From beating Hawthorn to claim the 2012 premiership to signing Lance Franklin last year, battles between the two sides are becoming increasingly more heated. “There have been some battles over the years, both teams have an enormous amount of respect for one another and have some real quality players which has helped stay at the top end of the table,” Jack said. “They have always been very contested games and I think Hawthorn probably had the wood on us for a little while. “We got one back in the grand final and this year, but there is certainly no guarantee when you go into it. “But all games are in the past and you can learn from them along the way. “Footy always changes from when we played them last time so we focus on them in a sense of their last couple of games and see what they are doing and really lock in what we need to do get a win.”

Carlton looking to sign out-of-favour Swan Tom Mitchell, gain Steven Trigg as new CEO Mitchell, gain Steven Trigg as new CEO FRESH from landing a new chief executive, Carlton is circling Sydney young gun Tom Mitchell. Mitchell, 21, is tied to the Swans until the end of 2016 but is struggling to get a game for the premiership favourites. The Blues have been pursuing the highly-rated midfielder and were surprised to learn that Sydney, which enjoys a controversial $1 million salary cap bonus, is paying him more than $400,000 a season. The Blues today confirmed Adelaide chief executive Steven Trigg as their new chief executive. Trigg, who was suspended by the AFL for six months over his role in the Kurt Tippett salary cap scandal at the end of 2012, will replace Greg Swann. Trigg will join the Blues on August 18 after finalising his role with the Crows. His appointment to Carlton was confirmed at a board meeting on Monday night, with Trigg announcing his resignation from Adelaide on Tuesday, saying he just knew the “time was right” to move on after 17 years at the club — with more than 12 spent as CEO. “The pure logic of joining a great club in Carlton, I couldn't get it out of my head,” Trigg said. “There will be mixed views about me going to another club. I have a passion for the game and want to stay in

the game.” Carlton president Mark LoGiudice said Trigg was the best candidate from an “extensive recruitment process”. “We have ensured that no stone has been left unturned in our search for a new chief executive,” LoGiudice said. “Steven was among a host of candidates from around the globe who were interviewed for this position. He impressed us with his business and football experience, and his vision to take our football club forward. “Importantly he comes with the AFL's full endorsement. “This is a significant appointment for Carlton and I am very pleased Steven will be joining our team.” One of Trigg's first jobs when arriving at Visy Park will be managing the Blues' list — including trading in the likes of young Swan Mitchell. Mitchell joined the Swans under the AFL's father-son rule in 2011 and had a breakout season last year. Injuries and opportunity have restricted him to just four games this year and he has strong family links to

Visy Park. His manager, Phil Mullen, said he was unaware of Carlton's approaches. “Let me say if they are, I know nothing about it,” Mullen said. “They certainly haven't contacted me — but funny things happen in business sometimes.”Mitchell's father, Barry, played 170 games for Sydney, 13 for Collingwood and 38 for Carlton between 1984-96. He was an assistant coach at the Blues from 2003-07. Mitchell Sr said he was not aware of Carlton's interest. “He (Tom) is pretty happy up there,” Mitchell said. “He's had a bit of a run of different things this year. Probably at the start of the year when they weren't in great form he was rested and since then they haven't lost a game. “He's been a little bit unlucky in that regard. And he's missed a few weeks here and there with a couple of little impact injuries. But the club are having a great year and it's a good place to be.” Mitchell made headlines in the lower grade NEAFL with a stunning 64possession, four-goal game in May. He hasn't played for the Swans since the Round 4 clash with North Melbourne. Carlton and Sydney declined to comment.

Hartlett to answer charge of pushing fan WEST Adelaide defender Adam Hartlett will front the SANFL tribunal tonight after vision emerged of him forcefully pushing a Sturt fan in the face on Saturday. The video shows Hartlett walking over to the boundary line to retrieve a football during the third term of the SANFL match at Richmond Oval when the fan — Luke Grant — appears to verbally abuse him. Hartlett, who played 11 games for Carlton from 2007-09 and is the older brother of Port Adelaide star Hamish, reacts by pushing Grant in the face. The incident was referred directly to the tribunal by the SANFL Incident Review Panel. Hartlett will have his

previous convictions including a three-match striking ban from last year's preliminary final taken into account. Grant yesterday took to Facebook and said he planned to make a formal complain over the incident. The incident is the second in recent seasons between a Sturt fan and an opposition player. In 2010, Eagles player Leigh Treeby was fined $500 after he got in a physical altercation with

a member of Sturt's cheer squad at Woodville. Treeby wasn't playing in the match and the Double Blues cheer squad later paid the fine for him. In the same match, Sturt Football Club says its player Richard Tambling was racially vilified by a Bloods fan. Sturt football manager Paul Sandercock said the fan concerned was evicted from the ground by security staff and his details passed on to West Adelaide Football Club. Sandercock said Tambling did not hear the sledge and was satisfied with the way the incident was handled. Sandercock said at this stage Tambling did not plan to make a formal complaint.

Willis Tepania from Kaitia, a town in the Far North District of New Zealand, is believed to have had a bucket of ice water poured over his head and then proceeded to consume a large amount of strong bourbon. It is thought that shortly after Tapania fell asleep for several hours and then went onto experience a heart attack. It proved to be fatal. Grieving family members have since warned against others taking part in the 'ice challenge', which involves the dunking or pouring of freezing cold water over the head and nominating others to do so over social media. A spokesman for the family urged people to think before they act. "If you're going to do the ice challenge, do it for the right reasons," he said. "Alcohol has nothing to do with the ice challenge.” "Just basically think before you act, because one mistake and your life could be gone. All for what, a bottle of alcohol?" "Is that really worth it?" The craze has become synonymous with raising money for charity but does not usually involve the consumption of alcohol. Money is raised through the spread of nominations through social media channels like Facebook, Twitter and Vine. Once challenged you have 24 hours to complete the challenge and donate to a cause. If you accept the challenge, you must videotape your successful ice dunk and post it online. It is believed that the footage of Mr Tepania's particular 'ice challenge' has now been destroyed.

Residents Painting Their Grass “It may be hard to keep a green lawn with the drought in Los Angeles, but many homeowners are choosing to have their yards painted green to save money. Think of this as a little like dying your hair. But, to Kerri McCoy dying, or painting grass, is a big drought-helper. Once color is sprayed on, water for your lawn can be turned off. She says lots of people are starting to discover this very different technique. 'As soon as the water sanctions hit and as soon as people find their water bills rising they're looking for ways to cut back on their expenses and that's when they start calling,' said McCoy, a lawn painter.” Cashews are actually a fleshy fruit. The nut that we eat is the seed that grows on the outside of the fruit.

Living the Bali Dream

“A container filled with millions of Lego pieces fell into the sea off Cornwall in 1997. But instead of remaining at the bottom of the ocean, they are still washing up on Cornish beaches today offering an insight into the mysterious world of oceans and tides… As a result, 62 containers were lost overboard about 20 miles off Land's End – and one of them was filled with nearly 4.8m pieces of Lego, bound for New York. No-one knows exactly what happened next, or even what was in the other 61 containers, but shortly after that some of those Lego pieces began washing up in both the north and south coasts of Cornwall. They're still coming in today.”

World on the Brink of the Next Extinction? The last time that the Earth went through a mass extinction, it was 66 million years ago and dinosaurs roamed the planet. Three-fourths of Earth's species died back then, and now, it looks like we have a similar situation heading our way. Mass extinctions are not a new phenomenon Scientists believe that the Earth has already gone through five, all instigated by natural causes such as asteroid impact, volcanic activity and atmospheric and environmental change. So the idea of a sixth extinction event, in and of itself, is not a complete surprise but it's the s p e e d o f development that is causing alarm. On Thursday, a new study published by the journal Science announced not only that the Earth was on the brink of another extinction, but that plants and animals are dying at an unprecedented speed at least 1,000 times faster than they did before humans arrived. The current rate of extinction is 10 times faster than what biologists previously believed. “We are on the verge of the sixth extinction,” Stuart Pimm, a Duke Univeristy biologist who led the research. “Whether we avoid it or not will depend on our actions.” What is happening? Many of the extinction-related events climate change, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, species loss have all happened already in the past, long before humans even came into being. But the difference now is that mankind is helping to accelerate this pace, and we can see the effects already. Earlier this week, the World Meteorological Organization

32

announced that the level of carbon dioxide in the air has reached new heights, the highest recorded average in human history and the increase can be directly traced to the consumption of fossil fuel since the industrial revolution. “This should serve as yet another wake-up call about the constantly rising levels of greenhouse gases which are driving climate change. If we are to preserve our planet for future generations, we need urgent action to curb new emissions of

these heat-trapping gases,” said WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud. There is more. A blistering UN study and White House report this year have also linked greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and fossil fuel consumption to global warming, rising sea levels and ocean acidification which have had a ripple effect on a host of other environmental problems. For one, the total collapse of large parts of the Western Antarctic ice sheet is estimated to raise sea levels by as much as 10 feet in the next few hundred years, which will devastate coastal areas and change the landscape as we know it: The acidification of the oceans combined with pollution, habitat destruction and overfishing has also led to a 90% decline in

globe. The same causes have also led to the ongoing destruction of the Great Barrier Reef, which lost more than half of its coral cover since 1985; a new study estimates that that damage to the famous reef system would be “irreversible” by 2030. But while this kind of habitat loss may be unintentional, it's important not to discount the effects of poaching and fishing either. Elephants and rhinos are on the verge of extinction due to the ivory trade, and the aforementioned issue of overfishing has serious consequences; not only does it affect fish and other predator species that need the food s u p p l y, i t c a n devastate coastal communities that depend on fish for their diet as well as their economy. What can we do? Not all hope is lost yet. While another extinction event may be inevitable, we can still try to mitigate the anthropogenic factors that are contributing to its accelerated pace. “Although things are bad, and this paper shows that they're actually worse than we thought they were, we are in a much better position to do something about that,” Pimm said. But that also means acknowledging the problem, which many people are still unwilling to do. Just last week, House Republicans voted to prevent the Department of Defense from using its funding to address the issue, despite America's top military brass arguing that climate change is now a “national security concern.” Perhaps a planet-wide extinction might qualify as such a concern.

Police Arrest Japanese Artist A Japanese artist who specializes in vaginally inspired art has been arrested in Tokyo on grounds of obscenity for allegedly emailing design files to her supporters so that they could print 3-D renderings of her genitalia. Or as some are calling it a “vagina selfie.” Megumi Igarashi, who works under the name Rokudenashiko, had started a crowd-funding project to create a kayak designed after her vagina. The design files were supposed to be a reward for investors who backed the project. Igarashi wrote on her campaign's page that she seeks funding to make her art anatomically precise. “It is

mold. Even when successful, silicone mold will gradually deteriorate, which makes mass production difficult.” The Tokyo Metropolitan Police arrested the 42-yearold artist for breaking obscenity laws date back to 1907 that prohibit the display of genitalia. But the artist argues that the data itself isn't adult material. “I cannot understand why the police recognize the 3D data as obscene material,” she said, according to TechCrunch. Other projects Igarishi has made designed on her vagina include a comic-book, a remote controlled car, and a lampshade. A petition has been launched to protest Igarashi's extremely difficult to make arrest.

Aussies can't resist a holiday Australians are becoming more cautious with their income but don't expect them to stop making trips to Bali. A new survey shows more Australians were saving and paying off their debts last quarter. But, despite otherwise prudent behavior, more than half said they were saving for a holiday, the St George-Melbourne Institute survey of household financial conditions found. St George's head of retail banking Robert Allan said Australians are savvy enough to know a strong Australian dollar means cheap travel. "I was talking to a customer last week and they were very

aware of the strength of the Australian dollar and they know that, actually, it was affordable and it's what they want to spend their money on," he said. "People will put travel at the top of the list, even ahead of things around the house." The survey of 1,200 people found three-fifths of households are spending 10 per cent or less of their income paying off debts. The proportion of

The

Q

households with car loans and credit card debts also decreased. Mr Allan said people were taking advantage of the historically low interest rates by accelerating their debt repayments. "Low interest rates are taking off the pressure" he said. "Interest rates have gone down but they're (Australians) actually paying off more than they're required to do." But not all debt is falling. One in five households has at least one HECS debt the largest proportion since 2001. And, the financial condition of 18 to 24-year-olds has decreased by close to nine per cent.

Libra Sep 24 - Oct 23

We often have no idea of how transparent we can be sometimes in the eyes of others. This week, be aware that much you could be keeping to yourself is more visible to others than you might realize. The sky does recognize your need to make certain matters your business and your business only but is trying to rally a few troops to lend a hand wherever possible. You needn't suffer in silence with so many others keen to be part of or help with a matter close to your heart. On this occasion, it could be a case of a problem shared being a problem resolved.

Many people believe that everything we do should always have at least two benefits attached. They stick rigidly to the belief that one benefit to doing something is not enough to justify investing time, effort or expense. There appears to be an advantage to pursuing a plan that does offer one big benefit of reassurance. Where there is reassurance, pride, comfort and recognition aren't usually far behind. This week, if you focus on achieving a desired result for a particular plan, you're likely to attain much more.

Taurus Apr 21 - May 21

Scorpio Oct 24 - Nov 22

Before we can expect help or support from others, they need to understand what help we need and why we need it. Sometimes, they can work this out for themselves. Other times, it needs to be made clear. We're much more 'in tune' with our needs than they are. This week, you're likely to have to draw upon help or support in some way from at least one person in your world. Don't leave it to them to guess how they can assist. They'd much prefer that you make it clear to them by asking and removing any guesswork.

Gemini May 22 - Jun 22 If we peer into a fish tank, we see a world that suits fish immensely. If looked after, they appear to live happy, carefree lives. Sometimes, fish carers must consider what needs adding or replacing, based on what fish appear to like, want or need. Enough of the analogy. This week, someone thinks they know what's best for you. Before you can accept changes they're keen to introduce, allow them to gain better understanding of your world and what you truly want and need within it. Through looking into and not being a part of it, their help could be more of a hindrance.

Horoscope

24 Jul - 30 Jul 2014 (398)

Some people will say or do just about anything to get what they want. They will tell us what they think we want to hear. They make promises they have no intention of honoring. We're aware when someone is trying too hard to influence or cajole us. This week, you'd be well advised not to take others' efforts to persuade you to agree with or commit to something at face value. Trust that there is more to situations than meets the eye. Reserve the right to question even that which appears unquestionable!

Sagittarius Nov 23 - Dec 21 The interesting thing about limitations we create for ourselves is we never really reach them. We create clear ideas in our mind about what we're capable of or will tolerate, yet we discover life doesn't come to a complete halt when we reach psychological limits we set for ourselves. This week, your patience and endurance levels are likely to be tested in some way. It's important to understand that the sky's determination to encourage you to reach a breaking point in a certain area is precisely what will bring about a change you will ultimately be glad of.

Cancer Jun 23 - Jul 23

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 20

Much of what is beautiful has flaws or inconsistencies. Ironically, it is those that make it unique. Think about how appeal would be lessened if the Leaning Tower of Pisa was straightened Mona Lisa's smile made more prominent. It is what we believe could be improved that draws attention to it. This week, there is heartwarming appreciation to be gained from recognizing how imperfect as opposed to perfect one particular situation or arrangement is. Its beauty needs be acknowledged. Focus on that as opposed to all that you believe is wrong within it.

Sometimes, we're a bit too quick to settle for 'second best'. If we discover there's the slightest risk attached to attaining something we truly want, then we convince ourselves that maybe it's best to accept something less desirable if it means any risk is removed. Expect soon to be presented with an opportunity to gain something you've long wanted. Don't listen to the part of you that insists you're not worthy of it - or the saying about something being too good to be true. The cosmos is determined to present you with a reward for your recent patience and diligence.

Leo Jun 24 - Aug 23

Aquarius Jan 21 - Feb 19

Enthusiasm, they say, is infectious. It is also a helpful and integral tool for getting others to agree with our ideas or proposals. Where you're used to struggling to make a point, you could find certain people to be easily won over. Your difficulty this week might surround not knowing when you've won. If you can be 'live' to knowing when your point has been made or you've achieved a result without laboring a point, then you will find the coming week to be immensely enjoyable, reassuring and productive.

Do you care? If so, how should you demonstrate your concern? Maybe you could wear a frown all day and be constantly stressed and grumpy in order for others to get the message that you're truly concerned about something they believe you should be concerned about. That is, of course, one option. A second, more healthy and productive way is to do what you do best. Be confident. Quietly and diligently tackle a very surmountable challenge. You will overcome it and stand to gain much admiration and respect in the process.

Virgo Aug 24 - Sep 23

Pisces Feb 20 - Mar 20

When the going gets tough, the tough, like everyone else, must take stock of their situation and decide how best to continue making effort before they get going. This week, you have something to prove to yourself and one or two others. You owe it to yourself to demonstrate what you're capable of in an area that you have struggled within of late. It's time to get tough and decide, once and for all, where your talents or dedication are best utilized. Developments and opportunities coming your way will help immensely with your decision.

How do Olympic bobsleigh teams or ski jumpers train? There is presumably machinery or software that help but surely real training comes with the thrill and absolute fear of soaring down a track or off a ramp for the first time. This week, you're being presented with a challenge requiring you to roll up your sleeves and tackle it with little thinking or preparation time. On this occasion, there's no scope to look for a solution. Trust that it will come once you start focusing on what needs focusing on.

The following is a myth busting info page covering different songs or bands each week chosen by one of our many loyal readers, Please Enjoy…King Of Leon “Sex on Fire”

Sex on Fire “”Kings Of Leon”” is the first single released from American Alternative Rock band Kings of Leon's fourth studio album Only by the Night. The song gave Kings of Leon their first number-one single in Australia, Finland, Ireland and the United Kingdom, charting at the topspot on digital downloads alone in the latter country, before its physical release. In September 2009 it was Britain's second most-downloaded digital single ever. The song has sold 1.2 million copies in the United Kingdom as of November 2012. It has also gained significant popularity in the band's native United States, reaching number one on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart and number fifty six on the Billboard Hot 100, making it their second highest charting song in their homeland on the former chart. Along with all of these achievements, in 2008, the song earned the band their first Grammy nominations. The song was nominated for Best Rock Song, and won the award for Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group. In addition, the album earned a nomination for Best Rock Album. Channel V Australia named the song as the third biggest hit of 2008. It was voted number one in Triple J Hottest 100 countdown for 2008. Following the success of the follow-up single "Use Somebody" in the United States on pop radio, the track was re-serviced to U.S. pop radio in November. Remixes of both songs were used for the runway soundtrack in the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

Depending on whether a song starts with a melody or starts with lyrics, you know if it starts with a melody you just keep playing the melody over and over until you get it down and just throw in any lyrics that fit the verbal flow. It was actually going to be "Set Us on Fire", but one of the sound mixers in the studio walked in as we were playing and said, "Sex on Fire", huh?" And it just kind of became a running joke, and we stuck with it.". Nathan also said that some lyrics tried were "Socks on Fire", "Snatch on Fire" and "Cocks on Fire".

The big guy sees the little Irishman staring at him. He looks down at the Irishman and says: "7 ft tall, 350 pounds, 20 inch penis, 3 pounds of testicles, Turner Brown" The little white Irishman faints dead away and falls to the floor. The big guy kneels down and brings him to, shaking him......The big guy says, "What's wrong with you?" In a weak voice the little guy says, "What EXACTLY did you just say to me?"

From the mouth of Babes A group of kindergartners were trying very hard to become accustomed to the first grade. The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on NO baby talk! You need to use 'Big People' words,' she was always reminding them. She asked John what he had done over the weekend? 'I went to visit my Nana'. No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER.Use 'Big People' words!' She then asked Mitchell what he had done 'I took a ride on a choo-choo'. She said. 'No, you took a ride on a TRAIN.You must remember to use 'Big People' words'. She then asked little Alex what he had done? 'I read a book' he replied. That's WONDERFUL!' the teacher said. 'What book did you read?' ( I love this... ) Alex thought real hard about it,then puffed out his chest with great pride, and said,'Winnie the SHIT' Paddy Paddy took 2 stuffed dogs to the Antiques Road show. ”Ooh”, said the presenter. “This is a very rare set produced by the celebrated Johns Brothers taxidermists who operated in London at the turn of the last century. Do you have any idea what they would fetch if they were in good condition?”

“Sticks”, said Paddy

A Decade of Thanks Balinese Thanksgiving of 'Nyelung' Celebrated Once every Decade by Gianyar Farmers Around 600 farmers drawn from four subaks (traditional water irrigation systems) in Payangan, near Ubud, participated in a traditional “Nyelung” ritual on T u e s d a y, July 15, 2014. T h e subaks of Buahan, S u s u t , Selat and Te n g i p i s j o i n e d forces for a colossal ceremony in which all their crops were presented as religious offerings to the A l m i g h t y I d a Sanghyang Widhi. Nyoman Jejel, the secretary of the Gede Buahan Subak, e x p l a i n e d t o Metrobali.com: “The ritual ceremony involving all the farmers and their families from four subak is held once every ten years." The ceremony held at a temple located in the middle of rice fields traces its roots to

ancient times when the Subak Gede Buahan often fell victim to crippling droughts. During the ritual offering the members of the subaks pray at the Pura Pucak Pausan, Buahan Kaja for the safe deliverance of their crops while promising to renew their

offerings once every decade if their prayers are answered. In the past, the prayers of the farmers have always been positively answered, sparing crops from drought, plague

and pestilence. This history of success has paved the way for the next “Nyelung” ceremony ten years in the future,always held in the year ending in “4” on the Gregorian calendar. “We are only continuing an ancient tradition handed down from our ancestors over the years,” explained Jejel. All the crops are placed on ceremonial altars during the ceremony together with a duck, chicken and a pig. Also placed on the altar are duplicates of all the farming tools used in harvesting the crops. T h e offerings are carried in a parade starting from Pura Puseh Buahan to Pura Pucak Pausan – a distance of approximately 10 kilometers. I n B a l i n e s e tradition, elaborate offerings made to God, once the ceremony is completed, can be consumed by man after the “essence” of the offering had ritually been surrendered to the Almighty. 41
