Ogdensburg alters buyout deal with city manager, shortens health insurance agreement
BY JIMMY LAWTON
OGDENSBURG — Ogdensburg City Manager Stephen Jellie will leave his post Nov. 4 after the city agreed to alter an earlier agreement in which Jellie was set to leave Nov. 30.
The news followed a brief executive session.
The original buyout included $50,000 and health insurance for Jellie until the end of 2023. The new agreement extends the insurance only until the end of 2022.
It also dropped the requirement to include Jellie's photo on the wall of the fire hall.
Jellie had announced plans to resign his position in July, but later changed his mind at the request of four members of city council. He eventually agreed to stay through the end of 2022, but now it looks like he'll depart about a month earlier.
At the past few meetings several residents have questioned when and if Jellie planned to resign, though the topic did not come up Monday.
Jellie has been a controversial figure since he was hired in 2019 without the traditional search and lengthy interview process typically involved in such hiring.
He's received great praise from Ogdensburg Mayor Jeffrey Skelly as well as Deputy Mayor Steve Fisher.
He also received significant criticism from Councilors Michael Powers, Dan Skamperle and Nichole Kennedy, as well as members of the community.
During his time as city manager Ogdensburg has seen drastic reductions in its police and fire department.
The city has also outsourced comptroller services and is entangled in lawsuits with the fire union and St. Lawrence County.
The city has also begun collecting its own sales tax and requested the county take over a variety of services.
Property taxes have dropped significantly in the wake of staff reductions during his time as manager, but Jellie says that the cuts will do little for the long-term health of the city.
The City Manager's departure doesn't leave much time for the city to find a replacement, but Jellie said the city has received several applications.

Hello, our names are Graham and Jo and we are your local behavioural therapists for Bark Busters Home Dog Training Croydon & Sutton.
Jo and I specialise in one-to-one training in your home. We have a genuine any breed, any age, any problem policy and help you and your dog in the environment where the problems are occurring. We provide you with concrete practical solutions and demonstrate how to actually train your dog. We then provide follow up visits with phone and email support for a whole year after your first visit.
We help with all dog problems including jumping, pulling on the lead, recall (dogs that don't want to come back), mouthing and nipping, aggression to other dogs or humans (dogs that bark, growl and/or lunge). Hyperactivity (dog's that don't to calm down) plus destructive behaviour including chewing and digging, toilet training for all ages, chasing (animals, joggers. cycles, cars and even children). Barking, whining, howling and separation anxiety (dogs who don't like being on their own). Obsessive behaviours, attentiveness (dogs that don't listen!!) and general obedience. We will not be judgemental or critical in any way about your dog's behaviour. What we want to do is move forward, together, so that you and your dog can enjoy a happy and fulfilled bond.
Before meeting my wife and becoming a dog trainer, I lived in Crystal Palace and worked for many years travelling around Croydon, Mitcham, Sutton, Morden and New Addington and have explored virtually every park with my dog Smudge who used to come to work with me. During this time I had considered myself to be pretty good with dogs because most of the dogs that I encountered were 'pretty good'!
Let me ask you a question – do you ever find yourself getting frustrated and upset with an aspect of your dog's behaviour? If the answer is yes, then I can empathise – I've been there!
My Whippet, Smudge, suffered terribly from separation anxiety and I made very elaborate arrangements so he was never left on his own because he would howl pitifully and pee in the house when I had to leave him. I then met my wife and found that finally there was a way to truly help him. I learned quickly that many of the things that I had been doing to try and fix the problem were having little effect. Smudge is now happy being left behind in the house.
I was then able to use my new found knowledge to help our Greyhound, Angus, who we rescued last year. Most Greyhounds are laid back couch potatoes but Angus wouldn't come when called and was aggressive with all larger dogs. He also had a habit of running up and down the garden barking so loudly that the windows seemed to shake! He had been stuck in a rescue for nearly six months as nobody wanted him so my wife persuaded me that he would be the perfect for us and a year on we have a beautiful dog who is a joy to live with. He is not perfect as big dogs still scare him terribly, (which seems strange as he is a huge dog himself) but he looks to us now for guidance and to protect him rather than going into "attack first and ask questions later" mode.
Our third dog is a small Lurcher called Lottie. She is a cross between a whippet and a terrier and although she looks like a whippet she has lots of terrier traits. She had been a working dog killing rats and rabbits until she had a serious accident when she was 7 and was then too slow to do her job. She had lots of problems when she first came to Jo including stealing food, biting people who tried to stop her and charging at dogs she didn't like to drive them away. When I met her she was still a very high energy dog and needed a lot of channeling in the right direction. She is now losing her sight so gets disorientated and did run at great speed in the wrong direction and as she is going deaf we can't call her. After a few scary incidents we have trained her to stay close and walks are no longer stressful.
I became a Bark Busters Trainer because of personal experience. My sister's dog was a lovely, friendly and obedient dog, but when my nephew started to crawl he would occasionally growl at him. We thought we were managing it successfully until one day he came too close to my nephew who was then 15 months old. He grabbed his face and Ouzo nipped him. At that moment our world turned upside down. Everybody told my sister and brother-in-law to get that once a dog has bitten he will bite again and that he was a bad dog and couldn't be trusted. Fortunately they recognised that they needed help with their dog and called in Bark Busters. The Bark Busters Therapist came to see us all and we were given a simple programme to follow. From the first session he was a changed dog. The fretful, growling dog around my nephew was gone. At the time my sister gave feedback saying "immediate and remarkable results...truly fantastic".
I had always been what my friends and family call a "doggie person" and over the years I have taken ownership of a lot of unwanted dogs, who all came with their own doggie baggage. Bobby a mongrel who was badly attacked in a park and then went onto try an attack any other dog he met after. Zak, a beautiful German Shepherd who I couldn't walk at first he pulled so hard on the lead. He had terrible separation anxiety and destroyed my furniture when we first had him. Russ was a very elderly mongrel, who had a benign brain tumour and wobbled all over the place. Jason a 10 year old miniature poodle who narrowly missed being put down when his owner died and nobody wanted him. He also had separation anxiety and barked and whined at the door constantly when I went out. He wasn't very friendly at first and sat on my lap growling at everyone and anyone who came near. I thought I had taken more on than I could handle with him, but with a bit of hard work he became a happy dog loved by my whole family.
I did decide that I wanted a puppy at least once chose a Yorkshire Terrier. He was a delight to train, but sadly he had a serious medical condition which meant he couldn't deal with any stress and would toilet in the house. (Vets told me that I hadn't toilet trained him properly and this experience means that I am always look at possible medical reasons for problem behaviour).


The last bendy bus accordioned its way through the streets of London before being discontinued on Friday, 9 December. The buses, which were infamous for being the transport of choice for fare dodgers (due to passengers being able to board without passing the driver), are being replaced with 500 new vehicles, a portion of which will be the brand new hybrid-fueled Routemasters.
Check out the video above for a more in-depth looking into the buses. Do you like the new design or do you prefer the old tried and trusted models?

Food safety week
2014 - Don't wash raw chicken
Up to a quarter of a million people could be struck down by campylobacter – the most common cause of food poisoning in the UK.
The fight against this nasty little bug will be at the centre of this year's Food Safety Week (16-22 June 2014).
About four in five cases of campylobacter poisoning in the UK come from contaminated poultry. You can't see it, smell it or even taste it on food, but if it affects you, you won't forget it. At its worst, it can kill you.
What is Campylobacter?
Campylobacter poisoning usually develops a few days after consuming contaminated food and leads to symptoms that include abdominal pain, severe diarrhoea and, sometimes, vomiting. It can last for between 2 and 10 days and can be particularly severe in small children and the elderly. In some cases, it can affect you forever - sparking off irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), reactive arthritis and in rare cases, Guillain-Barré syndrome – a serious and sometimes permanent condition of the nervous system.
Last year 162 cases of food poisoning were reported in Bassetlaw, 140 of which were caused by campylobacter.
About four in five cases of campylobacter poisoning in the UK come from contaminated poultry. One of the main ways to get and spread campylobacter poisoning is through touching raw chicken. FSA advice is not to wash raw chicken. Germs can be spread to kitchen surfaces, clothing and utensils.
How is it spread?
One of the main ways to get and spread campylobacter poisoning is through Touching Raw Chicken.
Bassetlaw District Council's Food Safety Team and The Food Standards Agency Advice is not to wash raw chicken. Germs can be spread to kitchen surfaces, clothing and utensils.

The McLeod County Law Enforcement Center additions and renovations began as a master plan aimed at understanding long-term growth at all levels of county services, expanding and modernizing the courts, and improving both customer experience and safety within the courthouse. The master plan prompted renovations that address space and safety deficiencies at the jail and adjacent courthouse.
At the law enforcement center, the public lobby of the courthouse features security improvements and weapons screening as well as improved circulation for county administration and renovated office spaces. The design provides a private area to transfer those in custody to and from the courtrooms and judge chambers, while the jail expansion adds 18 beds to the facility and reevaluates space for the jail, providing more space for the existing program.

A: If you turn back the clock 10 years, the greatest crisis in the community association assessment collection realm started, and lasted far too long. The result of the meltdown applicable to many condominiums is that units lost half their value (or more) and untold millions of dollars of bad debt was written off. Many of these properties were then absorbed by investors at bargain prices.
That crisis is well behind us and I am hopeful that more responsible lending practices will prevent another crash of that magnitude. I also think associations should be in a much better position if there is another downturn, as post-meltdown lending required much better loan to value ratios. This means that owners will have more "equity" in their units, which is key to the association's likelihood of a favorable outcome.
Both the Florida Condominium Act, Chapter 718 of the Florida Statutes, and the Florida Homeowners' Association Act, Chapter 720 of the Florida Statutes, contain detailed collection procedures, as may the governing documents for your community.
The condominium statute gives the association the right to record a claim of lien against the unit for unpaid assessments. According to the Florida Supreme Court, only attorneys can prepare liens. Before the association can record a claim of lien it must first send the unit owner a demand letter advising them of the amounts that are owed and that if such amounts are not paid within 30 days, the association will record a claim of lien. This "pre-lien" letter does not legally have to be prepared by a lawyer, but it is often a good idea.
After the claim of lien is recorded, the association must send a second letter advising the owner of the new amounts that are owed, that the claim of lien has been filed, and that if the new amounts are not paid within 30 days the association has the right to file an action to foreclose the lien in the same manner as a mortgage is foreclosed.
The statute provides that the association is entitled to recover all attorneys' fees and costs associated with its efforts to recover delinquent assessments from the unit owner. The association may also recover interest at the rate set forth in the documents (and at the rate of 18 percent if the documents ae silent) as well as late fees if authorized by the documents.
If the association is forced to foreclose its claim of lien, it can ultimately obtain a judgment of foreclosure, which will require the unit to be sold at auction to satisfy the association's claims. With the exception of taxes and first mortgages, the association's lien is generally superior to all other liens against the property, no matter when they were issued.
An association also has the right to suspend a unit owner's voting rights and use rights of the association's common facilities when they are more than 90 days delinquent in the payment of any monetary obligation to the association. However, voting rights can only be suspended when the delinquent amount exceeds $1,000.00.
Homeowners' association procedures are essentially identical except the pre-lien letter must be sent 45 days in advance, as opposed to the 30 day requirement for condominiums.
A year is much too long to have waited to address these matters. The association should seek counsel and may be able to address these matters with the ability to get your legal fees repaid. Often, the first "lawyer's letter" results in payment.

Join The Co-operative Revolution
Every year The Co-operative supports thousands of initiatives both in the UK and the developing world, helping people to change the world around them. The Co-operative Group launched a TV commercial on 7th March which told the story of the Rochdale Pioneers who were the firs successful co-operative, way back in 1844. This revolution is still going strong.
Today in the UK there are thousands of other co-operators who share the same heritage. This is in addition to the six million members of the Co-operative Group. You can also find over 5,000 outlets that run a co-operative business model including pharmacy, funerals, financial services and travel companies.
This campaign highlights The Co-operative's ethical credentials and features real people, such as the UK's first community owned wind farm. The Boywind Energy Co-operative was established in 1996 when it secured a loan to purchase two turbines for their Harlock Hill site. Baywind now generates around 10,000 MWh of electricity each year which is enough to power around 30,000 homes. This is something I am really interested in at the moment as I am involved in an important European project at work based around renewable energy.

The Different Types Of Female Orgasms, According To Adina Rivers

Trending News: 6 Different Types Of Female Orgasms With Adina Rivers
Myles Worthington
Because it's good to know that even if you're not with a screamer, you might still be helping her see stars all the same.
From a girl who screams so loud she wakes the neighbors to the girl who's totally faking it, there are at least six different types of women based on how they react to orgasm, according to Adina Rivers.
Adina Rivers, self-proclaimed 'life scientist' and a favorite around these parts, dropped yet another (nsfw-ish) video on her very informative YouTube channel which describes, or rather explicitly demonstrates, the six different types of women based on the way they respond to orgasm.
"Every girl orgasms in a completely different way, and of course, yeah, some women don't orgasm at all and that's fine too," says Rivers. "Just know that the way you experience orgasm and the way you express it, can be a pretty magic and accurate reflection of where you stand in terms of self-love, inner healing, happiness and inner peace."
.. this juice contains lots of vitamin C?! So enjoy a lot of it!? ? #marisapapen
A photo posted by Adina Rivers (@adinariversofficial) on Jun 21, 2016 at 4:04am PDT
So how does Adina break down the types of female orgasms? Like so...
The Screamer: She'll wake the neighborhood. This is the girl that's screaming at the top of her lungs, and sometimes, no matter how hot the sound is, you kind of are tempted to put a pillow over her head until she finishes.
The Ripper: She's a savage between the sheets. You may not realize it in the moment, but when your back is stinging in the shower the next morning, and you look in the mirror and see some 'Walking Dead' level claw marks on your back, you know you just slept with a Ripper. Maybe keep some hydrogen peroxide and cotton swabs near the bed instead of condoms and lube.
The Vibrator: When she orgasms, it feels like an earthquake. You've never seen her move like this. Her whole body is shaking and trembling and sounds like she's speaking in tongues up until the very end. Don't worry, she's (likely) not having a seizure, you're just hitting the right spot.
The Faker: Her acting skills are on point. Give this woman an academy award, because she just won "Best Bullshit Performance in a Sex Scene." We get what you're trying to do, boost our confidence or whatever, but just stop it. Tell us what we're doing right or wrong so that you don't have to fake it anymore. Let's eliminate this one from the list so we just have the other five!
The Potty Mouth: Parental advisory – she has explicit content. If it sounds like you're having sex in the middle of a concert featuring Nicki Minaj, Eminem and Ice Cube – you may be gettin' busy with a verified Potty Mouth.
The Spiritual: Sex becomes a spiritual act – always. This one may throw you for a loop when it starts to go down if you're not familiar. Waving hands, loud meditation, wide smiling – all signs of a Spiritual orgasm.
Surely the list isn't definitive, and of course you shouldn't feel like a failure if your lady doesn't react in one of these discretely defined ways. Because everyone's different, she could express her pleasure through any combination of ways — or something completely different!
It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round, as they say.

Circling the block
By Stephen Miller
Parking reform's implications for sustainable transit and ride-hailing
Photo by Chris Potter
While tangible, on-street changes like bike lanes, busways and plazas attract lots of attention, parking policy is arguably the unsung hero of urban transportation reform. Removing off-street parking requirements in the zoning code and tweaking on-street meter rates doesn't often attract press and politicians like a flashy ribbon-cutting, but these policy changes are crucial to ensuring that sustainable transportation succeeds.
Increasingly, parking reform is becoming key to ensuring the success of on-demand ride-hail companies, as well.
Few people have been leading the fight for parking reform like Donald Shoup, retired UCLA urban planning professor and author of "The High Cost of Free Parking," and Jeffrey Tumlin, director of strategy at consulting firm Nelson\Nygaard. Robert Steuteville interviewed the pair recently for the Congress for the New Urbanism.
Shoup begins by demolishing the pseudo-science that led to parking mandates becoming engraved into zoning codes across the country.
"The planners of the 1950s didn't impose minimum parking requirements on an unwilling public, they simply gave a veneer of professional expertise to parking requirements. But that expertise really didn't exist," Shoup says. "Nowadays, consultants have much more to tell cities about how parking affects the city, the economy, and the environment… Expertise has been developed from the successful outcomes of the recent decades."
Much of Shoup's seminal book is devoted to highlighting these successful outcomes in places that have reformed parking rules to ensure drivers have a space when they need one, by correctly pricing the limited supply of parking. He explains:
I can boil the 800 pages down to three bullet points. First, charge the right price for curb parking so there are always one or two open spaces on every block. Second, spend that revenue to pay for added public services on the metered blocks so that the stakeholders benefit from these metered spots… Investing the money back into the metered street creates the political will to charge the right price for on-street parking. And third, remove off-street parking requirements because nobody can say there's a shortage of parking if drivers can always see one or two empty spaces on every block. Removing off-street parking requirements can have a big effect, even in the short run, because it allows the adaptive re-use of older buildings.
Although some cities, like Buffalo, have moved to completely eliminate off-street parking requirements, it remains a controversial prospect in many places, where people think government mandates to build parking will help them find a spot on the street.
"I think it's foolish to say that without parking requirements we won't have any parking. If you ask any developer whether they would exclude parking if it wasn't required, they would respond, 'That's ridiculous,'" Shoup says. "If drivers paid for the cost to provide parking, we would use cars more rationally."
Tumlin concedes that on-demand personal mobility is an appealing idea, even if it can never be achieved in reality: "The idea of limitless personal mobility is incredibly alluring. The ability to park, in part, drove the invention of a new lifestyle. The mistake that we made was trying to apply the concept of the suburban dream on certain urban places."
While parking reforms have succeeded in places that want to shift away from that dated suburban model and instead encourage dense, mixed-use, walkable development, Tumlin and Shoup also see the growth of on-demand ride-hail services.
"Uber and Lyft have had a significant impact on urban parking demands," Tumlin says. "Within San Francisco, it's always cheaper to take UberPool or Lyft Lines downtown than it is to drive and park there."
Reforming parking requirements to accommodate on-demand driving can have different implications than reforming parking to encourage transit, walking and bicycling — although it's possible both can co-exist.
"Uber and Lyft know very well that the highest demand for their services are in areas where the price of parking is high," says Shoup. "Therefore, they have often asked me about minimum parking requirements. They realize that minimum parking requirements reduce the demand for transportation network companies. If you'd like to see shared automated vehicles succeed, the best way to do this is to reform off-street parking requirements."

How goddamn dumb do Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J., Al Franken, D-Mich., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., think we are?

Will anyone call to tell these senators that WAR IS NOT PEACE, THE U.S. DOES NOT PREVENT GENOCIDE and there's no way they could honestly believe the BS in this bill?
Your internet privacy – a thing of the past?
Remember when you were a child and adults told you that you had better do right because "someone" is always watching? They meant God, but these days there is also a human made omnipotence watching your every move. Your internet service provider (ISP) is an all seeing eye in the clouds. That reality is not so new. What is new is that ISPs can legally sell your entire web browsing history to anyone who wants it. They don't have to ask you first and they don't have to let you know they did it.
Temporary victory at Standing Rock
Standing Rock has caught the imagination of the world: A resurgent Indigenous movement, which has been leading many battles in the U.S. and Canada; a fighting veterans' movement, re-emerging as a powerful force; a large contingent of young people of many colors from all over, selflessly devoting themselves to the struggle; networks being activated around the country and the world – all coming together in a coalition that, in the context of the global economic and financial crisis, just might be able to take on a powerful oil company that is threatening to poison the water and defeat it.

Hillary Clinton is no friend of Black empowerment
As an African American, I have struggled to understand why so many of my Black brothers and sisters seem to prefer Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders. Hillary's record on civil rights is indeed extensive, albeit inconsistent and often ignoble. By contrast, Bernie has a long, proud, consistent record on fighting inequality – often far ahead of the Democratic Party in this regard – and always far, far ahead of Hillary Clinton.
Exposing the Libyan agenda: a closer look at Hillary's emails
The brief visit of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Libya in October 2011 was referred to by the media as a "victory lap." "We came, we saw, he died!" she crowed in a CBS video interview on hearing of the capture and brutal murder of Libyan leader Muammar el-Qaddafi. But the victory lap, write Scott Shane and Jo Becker in the New York Times, was premature. Libya was relegated to the back burner by the State Department.
The Clintons' $93 million romance with Wall Street: a catastrophe for...
For 24 years Bill and Hillary Clinton have courted Wall Street money with notable success. No other political couple in modern history has enjoyed so much money flowing to them from Wall Street for such a long time – $92.57 million over a quarter century. Because of the Clintons' romance with Wall Street and their corrupt New Democratic Party, the New York bankers and the Clintons are richer today. Others – betrayed, abandoned, savaged – are not.

Filing for federal clemency, sentence reduction and other 'decarceration' projects
Most parties now agree that mass incarceration is NOT the solution to crime in America. The reason being its prison population size is NOT determined by the number of CRIMES committed. So if the crime rate is not the dominant factor, what is? UNJUST racial and class policies are the dominant driving forces behind mass incarceration in the U.S. today. We urge federal prisoners to file for relief under the programs offered.

2015 was a historic political year for the African continent because one of the continent's most radical anti-imperialist leaders chaired the African Union, and I am talking about President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe. I talked with Obi Egbuna, the U.S. correspondent for the Zimbabwean national newspaper, The Herald, about what President Mugabe accomplished leading Zimbabwe and the African Union in 2015. Here is what he had to say.
In largest one-time release, 6,000 inmates will walk out of federal...
In an unprecedented move, 6,000 inmates will soon be released from federal prisons in what the Washington Post calls history's "largest one-time release of federal prisoners." This change is due to last year's decision by the U.S. Sentencing Commission to lower sentencing guidelines for drug crimes and apply the change retroactively. Remarkably, this release is only the beginning.

Writer, reporter and Pan Africanist Obi Egbuna, the U.S. correspondent to the Zimbabwean national newspaper The Herald, recently finished, alongside co-executive producer M1 of dead prez, the third volume of the "Battle Cry for Cuba and Zimbabwe" compilation, which is a cultural protest against how the two countries have been unfairly sanctioned by the U.S. government. Check out Obi Egbuna in his own words.
Stand with the defiant ones in Baltimore
The uprising in Baltimore has delivered an unmistakable and powerful message that the time is over when people will tolerate the unending and outrageous murder and brutality carried out by police. The torture and murder of Freddie Gray for nothing – and the ongoing, infuriating lies and coverup – is only the latest in a long line of such horrors in not only Baltimore but all over the U.S., from North Charleston, S.C., to Ferguson, Missouri, from Pasco, Washington, to New York City and beyond – THIS MUST STOP!
Tensions remain high in Ferguson
After two officers were shot, police conducted an unjustified dawn raid on a house in Ferguson. A woman and her 6-year-old son had the red laser sights of police rifles trained on their chests as they emerged into their garden under orders from the officers, who arrived in military-style vehicles.

Contractor pleads guilty over Ward death
RANIA SPOONERKalgoorlie Miner
Thu, 28 April 2011 6:17PM
Prisoner transport contractor G4S Custodial Services Pty Ltd has pleaded guilty to failing to prevent the heatstroke death of Warburton elder Mr Ward more than three years ago.
G4S and three other parties appeared in the Kalgoorlie Magistrate's Court today to face charges relating to the death under the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
Mr Ward, 46, died in custody of heatstroke in January 2008 after being transported inside a G4S van.
The WA Director of Public Prosecutions ruled out criminal charges against G4S, the van's two drivers, Graham Powell and Nina Stokoe, and the State Government last year.
But WorkSafe WA laid charges against the four parties in January because the van is a workplace under the Act.
G4S is expected to be sentenced on June 3 and faces a maximum fine of $400,000 for failing to ensure the safety and health of Mr Ward, causing his death.
The State Government is scheduled for a technical debate over the wording of its charge on May 5.
The van drivers are expected to enter pleas May 30 at the Kalgoorlie Magistrate's Court.

Q: Can we get match items' position at Lucence.net search result? I'm using Lucene.net to implement fulltext search feature in an Asp.net application. The search result page should high light the match items. I got the instance of Lucene.Net.Search.Hits and used .Doc(int i) method to get Lucene Document.
But I don't know how to get the position of match item by existing method or property of some Lucene class. Does Lucene.net provide any feature to support high light query string?

A: You can use Highlighter or FastVectorHighlighter which can be found in contrib

A: As the previous answerer said, you should use either Highlighter or FastVectorHighlighter from contrib.
Here's an example of using Highlighter lib to get highlighted fragments:
Formatter formatter = new SimpleHTMLFormatter("", "");
Lucene.Net.Highlight.Scorer scorer = new QueryScorer(query, field);
Lucene.Net.Highlight.Encoder encoder = new SimpleHTMLEncoder();
var highlighter = new Highlighter(formatter, encoder, scorer);
highlighter.SetTextFragmenter(new SimpleFragmenter(100));

string[] fragments =
    highlighter.GetBestFragments(DefaultAnalyzer, field, doc.Get(field), 3);

Some Highlighter-related gotchas:

*

*To highlight a field, it should be added to index with Field.Store.YES option

*Your query should be rewritten before passing it to highlighter

*The analyzer you pass to highlighter should be the same you use for indexing and searching

The Honorary Walks Secretary has asked us to announce that the Federation's Search and Rescue Weekend is wrongly shown on the current Walks Programme, as it was arranged for the second week-end in September. Therefore, all walks listed for the first week-end, 2nd/3rd September, will be held on the second week-end, 9th/lOth September, and those replaced will be switched to the 2nd/3rd September. Please reverse the dates on your Walks Programme.
The Federation extends a very hearty invitation to all members of affiliated clubs to attend the Annual Conference to be held at 7.30 p.m. on Wednesday, 16th August, at the Royal Zoological Society's Rooms, 28 Martin Plaee, Sydney. All constructive criticism welcomed!
The Club's Honorary Historian, Charles Pryde, is tired of waiting for all those details of exploratory trips, etc. for which he hap asked various old members. He now announces that the history is "going to press" on August 31st, 1939, with or without them. So hurry up, old members, or your trips will be omitted from the First Edition!
The Railway Department is feeling very poor and is cutting down various services. One train that has been cut out is the 1.20 p.m. on Saturdays to Katoomha etc. Another is the 8.40 a.m. on Sundays to Waterfall and the South Coast. No new timetables are being issued so it is necessary to check up on all trains by personal enquiry.

By "One Who Tried"
We were peacefully eating a late Sunday breakfast at the Sports Carnival, when we heard the loud voice of an Official ask, "Any starters for 'Find the Spot'"? "Come on", said my friend, putting his breakfast on one side, "I won this once, its great fun, and it doesn't take long." "What is it" I asked. "Direction finding", he explained, "They give you a piece of paper with directions on it, such as '45N', that means you walk 45 yards North from a given point, and so follow the directions down the list, and you should come somewhere close to the "Spot" previously marked out by the Officials. Everyone's directions are different, but they all lead to the same point, and the competitor finishing nearest the "Spot" is the winner."
That sounds easy, I said to myself, and, carefully placing my porridge near the fire, to keep warm, I set off with my friend to receive my little list.
At first it looked to me like a Chinese Laundry account, but when I had orientated it, I saw that the first line said "450W" - Walk 450 yards West - Good - but, where was west? I wracked my brains, where did that sun set the previous evening? Then I remembered that I had come into camp at dusk and had not seen it set at all. The folly of lying abed late was now made apparent. I hadn't seen the sun during the early morning either, and it had long since retired behind heavy clouds, and was of no assistance whatever.
I set off in what I hoped was a Westerly direction and began to pace out 450 yards. I counted and muttered my way along, hoping that instinct would automatically stop me when I had covered the required distance. I was concentrating hard when, suddenly I tripped over a stone hidden in the long grass. Dash! I had lost count of my steps and what's more had rolled over and come up facing the wrong direction!
Tenderly nursing a bruised shin, I decided to try the next direction on the list. It was "150 N.E.", -North East, now where would that be? I wet my finger and tried to "Find the Wind" like they do on sailing ships. Somebody had said, that morning, that the wind was a South Westerly, and I thought – anyway, there was no wind, so, liking the look of a hillock ahead, I strolled to the top to see the view. And what did I see? The competitors had spread themselves over the whole countryside in an endeavour to find this elusive "Spot". I saw one girl crawling on hands and knees through some prickly bushes just below me, and another blithely hopping from rock to rock down a creek bed. One lad was heading, straight and sure, towards a small town away on the horizon, but over in the -er -er, "something" direction on my left, I beheld one young married member carefully picking her way around the tombstones in the local churchyard!
A little later, a large, panting dog rushed past, followed by his master, very red in the face, both looking exhausted. They had come a long, hard way. Once more I consulted my list - I paced and counted my way along, first in this direction, and then that, but something must have gone wrong somewhere, for then I stopped to look around again, the camp site had disappeared, and an orchard, I had not noticed before, had appeared upon a nearby ridge. No humans were in sight, but some cattle, a little way off, eyed me with distrust and I returned the compliment.
I felt that I had been walking for a long time, and I was hungry. Thoughts returned to my abandoned breakfast. Then a "lost" kind of sensation came over me - I remembered the S. & R. and cheered up. I gave a lusty coo-ee. No reply. Presently, from a distance, I heard a feeble shout. Following the sound I skirted some thick scrub and there, through the trees, was the camp again.
Competitors were still struggling in from all points of the compass, blood stained knees and dusty clothes reminiscent of a test walk rather than a Sports Carnival Event.
Soon we were all congratulating the fair haired lass who was announced the winner.
I wandered back to camp - the fire was dead, my breakfast was stone cold, but what did it matter, I had had a morning's exercise, explored the countryside and had, at least, tried to "Find the Spot" – besides, I always did like a cold snack for lunch!
Rather more than the usual number of members attended our July meeting. The first business was to move a "suspension of standing orders", so that a presentation, on behalf of members, could be made to President Richard Croker in honour of his recent marriage.
The Club also has a wedding present for Ian Malcolm, but as he is living in the country we shall not have the pleasure of handing this to him personally. We were pleased to welcome as a new member, Mr. Harold Lade; Mr. Bill Burke is also a new member, but, as he was away on a trip, he will receive his badge later.
Arising from the Minutes about the dangerous state of the Clear Hill Ladders, an interesting discussion took place. Myles Dunphy pointed out that what is generally called "The Wallaby Track" is actually marked on the map, "Duncan's Pass." Myles was particularly anxious that the correct name should be used as it commemorates the first descent from Clear gill, which was made by Frank Duncan and party. Jack Debert, who was one of that party, pointed out that Frank Duncan did not use the Wallaby Track but climbed down where the ladders are now. The meeting decided to use the name "Duncan's Pass", and was pleased to learn that the Federation is arranging for a working bee to mark and improve this track.
Another thing Myles pointed out was that there is a "Wallaby Parade" along the cliffs from Glen Raphael Head to Glen Raphael Creek and this was explored and named by members of the Mountain Trails Club many years before the route down from Clear Hill was discovered.
We were very pleased to learn that Mrs. Carlon has been re-elected as Honorary Member of the Club.
It was suggested by Jack Debert that the Federation be asked to reduce the cost of the Ball Tickets to 6/6d. which could be collected at the door, although the tickets have been issued, showing the cost of 7/6d each. It was agreed to follow this suggestion.
Mr. Jim Liddy has tendered his resignation which was accepted with regret.
Miss D. Lawry moved that a letter of protest on various matters be written to the Royal Life Saving Society; firstly complaining that the erection of a new Secretary's office deprived us of about 70 sq. ft. of space, as well as cutting off the windows supplying a through current of air, and suggesting that a reduction of rent might be considered; secondly, pointing out that three of the club's pictures had disappeared, and, as it was supposed that they were inside the new office, ask that they be returned to the clubroom; further to request that hooks for hats and coats be supplied for use of members. Lastly, protesting about the very dirty condition of the room and furniture. The meeting resolved that the letter should be written.
Miss Norah Ankerson advised that the Bunyips Walking Club had held its first annual meeting and was now in its second year of existence. She asked for Leaders for Bunyip Walks. Miss Ankerson, as advisory secretary, asked that each Club should sponser one walk per year and should pay expenses over 3d per head for six children from some charitable institution or poor district. The meeting agreed to this proposal.
The Club would like to see more of our members as Honorary Rangers. Would those people interested please forward their names to the Secretary.
It was with much regret that her resignation as Club delegate to the Federation, was received from Miss Dorothy Lawry. Reason? Overwork.
Just before the meeting closed the Hon. Treasurer again reminded members that subscriptions were not coming in as well as they should – Now then, folks, what about that 10/-?
Elsewhere in this issue we reprint part of an article on "Bushcraft" that appeared in this year's "New Zealand Alpine Journal", the balance of Mr.Clarke's remarks are not applicable to AUstralian conditions. The splendid mountain photos in this excellent Journal will be admired, and probably envied by all the photopraphers who borrow it from the Club Library. All members interested in map making should also study the interesting article on "Mapping from Photographs" written by the New Zealand Surveyor General. Unfortunately we cannot reproduce the diagrams and articles here.
This is a good world. We need not approve of all the items in it, nor of all the individuals in it; but the world itself, which is more than its parts or individuals, which has a soul, a spirit, a fundamental relation to each of us deeper than all other relations – is a friendly world. It has borne us; it has carried us onward; it has humanized us and guided our faltering footsteps throughout the long and slow advance; it has endowed us with strength and courage.
It has proved a real vale of soul-making for us humans, and created for us visions, dreams, ideals which are still further moulding us on eternal lines. It is full of tangles, of ups and downs. There is always enough to bite on, to sharpen wits on, to test our courage and manhood.

From Lawson our objective was Blue Mountains Trig. Here we climbed the stone pile and examined the terrain tf the country we were to traverse. The route, which was along the ridge between Wentworth and Woodford Creeks, consisted of numerable high knobs that dropped down to low saddles. At times the ridge was difficult to follow. The rock formation was sandstone, but, unlike such areas in our coastal regions, it was covered with luxuriant forest growth and some of tee slopes, particularly from the low saddles, were just a mass of soft green ferns in which lurked the fierce lawyer vine. This latter fact we discovered to our discomfort when two of us, at lunch time, went down to one of the creeks for water and came back with our legs severely scratched.
In the afternoon the undergrowth had become more dense and we resorted to long trousers to protect our legs. Frequently loitering on the broken sandstone escarpments that reared high above Wentworth Creek, we were amazed that such views of this area existed. Looking down, we could trace the course of the creek, in which the water seemed sunken in a never-ending gorge. Rising high in the sky were the mountains Hay, King George and Tomah. To the east we could see the low land of the coastal plains. We found it hard to leave such magnificent scenery, but time was fleeting and we did not know what was ahead of us; however, the ridge ended, and we dropped down to the junction of Wentworth and Woodford Creeks at 4.30 p.m. The creek bed was rough and at dusk we camped in a level patch of scrub.
There the Secretary of the Federation's Conservation Bureau showed his industriousness by quickly clearing an area of vegetation. Perhaps it was his practical answer to the controversy, "What is Conservation?" that takes up so much space in the "Sydney Bushwalker" at present!
Leaving camp next morning, we found the creek had become even more rough, and at times our pace must have been less than a mile an hour; then suddenly the character of the creek altered and the thick scrub and big boulders gave way to a bank of flat rock. It was a peculiar rock formation and must have extended for at least half a mile. It made walking pleasant and even the mask-like countenance of Max Gentle showed approval.
At the Grose River we turned downstream to Linden Creek and there, in the cool water we had a quick plunge, and lunched on a huge rock in the middle of the river. We then climbed the ridge downstream from Linden Creek, searching often to find chimneys and easy ledges. At the top we had a wonderful view of the middle Grose areas. Far down below was the river and high on either side, viewed from a different angle, were the mountains we saw yesterday, while downstream, through the gap that the Grose has carved, was the low country.
It was getting late and some miles had to be covered; the days were barely long enough to fit in the miles; regretfully we followed the ridge and picked up the Faulconbridge track to the railway station.
Deep in the wooded hills there is a place
Where tall and stately trees with quiet grace
Stand back to make of grass and flowers a space.
And I would reach that place as Day is sped,
And pitch my tent, and make of leaves my bed,
And hear the forest breathing overhead.
And when the golden shafts of light slant through
The aisles, O then to find the world anew!
And walk barefoot through grasses drenched with dew.
The golden clouds float o'er the sinking sun;
Golden the woodlands as I hasten on,
And I would reach that place as Day is done.
– Roland E. Robinson.

Part of an Article by C.Clark and reprinted from The New Zealand Alpine Journal, June 1939
Bushcraft may be defined as the art of finding one's way in the wilderness and getting along well by utilising Nature's storehouse. When one travels with a guide, it is the guide's bushcraft that pulls him through. When he goes alone, he must play the woodsman himself. No written work can teach a man how to master the art, but it can at least be a stepping stone for a beginner. Broad principals can be given, and what not to do can be stressed.
First and foremost in bushcraft is the art of not becoming lost. I place this first because the leader, in losing his way, takes his companions with him. If he and his party are overdue, as a result, those at home are worried, search parties are sent out, and considerable concern is felt generally for their safety.
Leadership, as in most things, is the important factor. The leader should be selected because of his greater knowledge and ability to lead. It is his duty to see that included in equipment are a compass and the best available maps. He should study the map carefully, until a rough picture of the country is in his mind, together with a sound knowledge of the tracks.
There are three kinds of hush tracks – formed tracks, blazed tracks and no tracks! Formed tracks present no difficulty, even to the novice. Blazed tracks are sometimes difficult, owing to their age, their poorness or their insufficiency. The two main points in following a blaze are to look for it well in advance, and to stop when it is lost. Usually one can see two or three chains ahead and pick up distance blazes, and as a result make much better time than by continually searching nearby trees. When you lose the blaze, do not blunder on, hoping to strike it again. The first move is for the leader to stay where he is and send one member of the party to the right and one to the left. The elusive blaze will soon be found. If you intend to return by the same route fix it well by hand blazing. This consists of each member of the party hand-breaking small branches and fern fronds as they walk past.
We now come to the most interesting part of bush travel - the virgin trail. If the route lies up a ridge or down a stream, there is no difficulty. If the route is down a ridge, great care must be exercised to keep to that ridge and not be led into a tangled creek bed by a secondary spur. When the trail leads upstream, one must be careful not to be led astray by a tributary. The junction with the main stream is frequently concealed by heavy timber, and might easily be overlooked.
The route through flat, virgin bush is the most difficult and the most interesting to the bush lover. Believe it or not, the satisfaction of arriving at the spot you aim at is almost as great as that derived in reaching the summit of a snowclad peak. It is here that your compass is overworked. Before entering the bush, fix by compass the direction of your route. Observe all outstanding features that may be visible on your journey.
The compass should be carried in the hand for the purpose of constant checking. As you travel, fix your route by trees as far into the bush as you can see. Endeavour to keep two trees in line, and as you come to the near one, fix your route by another beyond the distant one. Alternate your track round obstacles, first right and then left. It is on this work that the leader has to out-Mussolini Mussolini. Talking of anything likely to distract him from his task must be forbidden. Advice re route, unless asked for, should not be given. Always remember the leader is in front, has his mind solely on the job and sees more than the other members. Constant advice will rattle him, with a subsequent loss of confidence. Be careful, when fording rivers or avoiding large obstructions such as heavy undergrowth or windfalls, that the route is resumed in the right direction.
It is a good principle to travel fast and rest regularly and frequently, if necessary. Always stop on the line of your route. If the stop is to be for any duration, for, say, a boil-up, leave your packs lying on this line.
If you do get lost, don't get rattled. Sit down and have a smoke or a snack. You are not the first to get boxed – almost every bush traveller has experienced the same sensation. Study your map carefully and fix your approximate position on it. You know how many hours you are away from a known mark, the number and direction of streams you have crossed. Again, don't become panicky. A little sane thinking and all is clear. One could fill this volume on what to do and what not to do in certain circumstances, but the foregoing general principles will generally pull you clear.
When the question of the price of the tickets for this year's Bushwalkers' Ball was raised at the Federation Meeting on June 23rd. the Hon. Secretary explained on behalf of the Hon. Organiser of the Ball that the tickets were already printed and issued. Some members of the Organising Committee wished the price reduced to 6/6d, but, as there was no opportunity of obtaining Council's authority for such a reduction before shortage of time necessitated the printing of the tickets, last year's price of 7/6d had been adhered to. (For the S.B.W. reaction to this announcement see "At Our Own Meeting" in this issue.-Ed.).
The Railway Department regrets that it cannot urge upon the National Park or Kuring-gai Chase Trusts the need for keeping open hikers' tracks as such action would set a precedent that might lead to endless requests for similar action in other parts!
The M.T.C. wrote protesting against the excessive use of firewood by some campers in The Blue Gum Forest. This protest was passed on to the Trust.
A complaint was received that a walker (said not to be a member of any affiliated club) had upset a number of visitors at Governor Game Lookout by walking past clad only in vees. Although not directly concerned, the Federation decided to circularise all clubs, asking them to urge ypon all their members the desirability of attiring themselves in such a way as not to antagonise other people whom they may meet.
The Meeting Place Sub-committee reported that it was having difficulty in finding a suitable room as rents were proving to be higher than anticipated.
The report from the Corral Swamp Waterhole Sub-committee was received, and the recommendation made will be acted upon when the weather gets warmer.
Three Federation representatives on the proposed Joint Committee to investigate the Blue Mountains National Park scheme were elected - Messrs. Alex Colley, Jack Debert and Campbell Morris. The N.P.P.A.Council will also have three representatives on this Joint Committee.
The Federation decided to write to the Erina Shire Council, the Bouddi Natural Park Trust, and the N.R.M.A. protesting against a proposal to construct a road to Little Beach, which is in the Park, the information having been published in the N.R.M.A.'s journal. We understand the protest was effective.
A report having been received that three more banksias had revently been destroyed near Kingfisher Pool, the Federation decided to approach the Forestry Commission for notices regarding the destruction of trees and to offer to put up any such notices for the Commission. It was decided also to approach the Department of Works and Local Government for some wildflower protection notices for the area.
The S.B.W. having reported that the ladders at Clear Hill are again in a dangerous condition, the Federation decided to arrange for a working-bee to mark and improve the alternative track, and, if necessary, cut away the dangerous ladders. Mr. Newell of the Rucksack Club was appointed to organise this working-bee, which should be well supported by the S.B.W.
A delegate reported that recently a walker made arrangements and counted on getting food from "Branjan" but, although he waited there for three days, he got no food. It was suggested that the matter should be reported to the various clubs so that members could make their arrangements to avoid any similar disappointment.
"There being no further business", the meeting closed at 10.10 p.m. having started at about 6.35 p.m.

No district provides more magnificent views of the rugged grandeur of the Grose Valley than the country around Mount Hay, and yet few go there because it has the reputation of being dry and inhospitable, and of providing no easy round trip. In point of fact there is good water below green swamps to be found in almost every valley and by going down not more than two hundred feet; and the round trip via Three Knob Hill, Lockleys Pylon, the Grose Valley and back over Mount Hay (or vice versa) can be done in a one-and-a-half day week-end, and easily done in a two-day week-end. The way on to or off Mount Hay is the only difficulty and from time to time one hears of people who have failed to locate it.
From the bottom it is easy; you follow down the Grose from The Blue Gum Forest until you see the first green valley reaching right to the top, and you go up it, and that is all. But from the top all gullies look alike, those that end in sheer cliffs appearing just as attractive as those that do not.
However, if you take the military survey map and follow these directions there is no difficulty. You go round or cross over Mount Hay on the Grose Valley side, where a narrow col (Australian "saddle" Ed.) takes you to a conspicuous rocky pile, Venus Beacon. You pass to the right of this (i.e. on the opposite side to Grose Valley) and also to the right of the next hump, a densely wooded one, and this takes you onto the main ridge, which is some way back from the Grose, and keeps you away from an attractive spur with marvellous views of the Grose but leading you prematurely towards its depths.
When on the main ridge and past the wooded hump, neglect the first large gully and the second one, and take the third - about 1 1/2 hours' walk beyond Mt. Hay. You can locate this gully on the military survey as the only one whose stream is made to join the Grose. In fact, it has no water in it at all, but that does not matter. From the topography of the country you can locate it as the last gully to join the Grose before its cliffs narrow down into an extraordinarily perfect bottle-neck; or as joining the Grose lower down than the two green gullies you can see on the opposite side running straight up from the river to the Mount Caley (or "Catey") plateau.
"Late in the afternoon a high wind rose, and great gusts of wind came roaring across the hilltops. Though calm and still in the gullies, the hill-crests seethed with swishing foliage. Once the obverse happened. We stood on a high ridge and looked down into a wide gum-wooded valley. All the movements of a troubled sea were pictured in that wind-tossed hollow - the long sweeps of crested billows, and the deep swelling troughs between; while ever and anon arose the surge of the wind like the dirge of the sea."
- Archer Russell.
By Ossie Brownlee.
Our two canoes "Alaska" and "Checkers" having been despatched a fortnight earlier, Christmas night saw us eagerly scrambling aboard the crowded 10.25 train for Grafton.
Two can't sleep on a three piece suite…. nor can eight men sleep in one compartment. What a sight it must have been for the guard when, some hours later, he discovered four sleeping-bag clad figures on the wash-room floor! What supreme authority he must have experienced in kicking us out!
On arrival, at South Grafton, four stiff and dishevelled males stepped out. An hour was spent in finding "Checkers". The canoe had been consigned to a certain Mr. T., who, on going to Yamba had consigned it to somebody else and he, in turn, had consigned it to somebody else, and hied himself to Yamba. It seemed that nobody except us wanted "Checkers", but somebody had her. To this day we don't know who found her, but the lorry driver told a gripping tale of his search for the owners.
That night we slept peacefully on the banks of the Nymboida. With the dawn came the DAMN flies, and after breakfast eaten on the run, we commenced our trip.
The river was three feet below normal summer level and the receded waters had left the granite borders covered with slime. What promised to be our best "canike". The banks at this stage were covered with bottle-brush, thicker than mangroves on any coastal stream. We struggled eight miles and camped.
That night we prayed for rain.
Next day the river blushed crimson as we cursed, slipped and dragged our canoes, under a blazing sun, to a point where Cunglebung Creek usually flows into the Nymboida. The creek was dry.
Here insult was added to injury as a portage of some half mile was necessary to negotiate an impassable stretch. The river here cascaded over two falls descending into the gorge. The rapids in the gorge were fiendish looking and usually dropped 2-7 feet in height. If we had had the additional three feet of water they would have commanded the utmost respect, but now the water merely trickled over them. It was a pleasure when we floated out into the long, still pool where the Mann River came in on our left, and directly ahead could be seen the picturesque bark hut of Mt. Ferry.
This gentleman is an Inspector, of Stock, but is better known as a Tick Inspector (or Dodger). He constructed his own abode with slabs and bark and it contains two rooms and two verandahs. His home is entirely covered with passionfruit vines and would, I know, be one of the tastiest and coolest northern resorts in Summer.
Next morning, Max and Barney, being fed up with walking, stayed to mend the canoes, while I took Rex for a little stroll up the Mann after photos. He swore never to go strolling with me again.
The remainder of our stay was spent in talking, eating, fishing and then eating the fish we caught. From Mr. Ferry's verandah we could see miles of rubbish ahead and our farewell to this kindly man was a supreme effort - a quarter mile of (censored) boulders!
The country was now more open and, if possible, more beautiful. Such magnificent scenery as the Bridal and New Zealand Falls, could never be equalled - not even in the Canadian Rockies. If we only had had a movie camera and coloured films!
Rain. Our prayers were answered by a terrific downpour which soaked us, filled our canoes and made no difference to the river. Emptying out, we rounded a corner and staggered up to the Jackadgerry Post Office. A small township which only boasts a Wine-Bar to keep the Postal section company. The others made acquaintance and thus obtained a dry bed for the night in Austin's Hut. While we slept Barney made a damper - strangely enough it was quite good.
"Happy New Year" From this day we will not take notice of farmers as regards their knowledge of the river they live on. This resolution and reason for making it resulted when a certain Mr.L. told us we could not possibly get through the stretch of rubbish which now confronted us, but by a very skilful effort, could cut off a two mile bend.
Taking his advice, we carried the packs a mile overland and returned another mile, then we dragged the canoes to the spot where the packs were. Great work! Three miles to cut off a two mile bend. This overland marathon taught us a lesson. We'd hate to meet Mr. L. on April 1st.
After this trek we paddled wearily through a stretch of beautiful open water and called it a day.
Next morning, bright and early we passed the low level bridge below Cangai. Barney and I visited Hanging Rock Station and we were presented with morning tea (?) and scones. Finally I had to drag somebody away otherwise we would not have made much progress with a drunken skipper in one of the boats. HOWLS rent the air when we finally returned to the other two. Another low level bridge and after another four miles of agonising hauling, we pitched camp.
On the morrow we lunched at the junction of the Clarence. The mighty Clarence which the boys would have paddled past but for the Navigation Officer.
Entering the Clarence gorge, we came across a "Tough" rapid. We had not shot one for some time so we decided that we would try it. Rex and Barney blazed the trail and half way down one of the crew deserted.
"It can't be done, said he.
"It can be done", said Max and me, then we proceeded to show him how.
It was a stout effort but the last foot spelt disaster and "Alaska" went down with all hands. After rescuing the gear which floated calmly about the river, we took stock. The loss was terrific. "Algie" was gone (a tortoise 7/8" long) and the blessed rabbit, the only thing the boys shot after wasting rounds of ammunition. Finally all hope was abandoned.
We made camp shortly afterwards and mended the canoes. We were just above the first waterfall and the river could be heard booming and thundering above the snores of my fellow "canikers".
The Gorge, or more rightly, the Canyon, which we now had to negotiate was something entirely new to us. The scenery was awe inspiring yet beautiful in its ferocity.
Even the continual flow of the river through the centuries has been unable to wear a smooth passage through its volcanic bed and has willy nilly taken whatever course offered. At this junction it divides itself into four and flows unevenly over a 30 foot wall and thrashes its way through the craggy channel immediately below. This was grandeur. Matching itself to its surroundings the river rode darkly in swirling streams.
At intervals along its course, the river takes a breather, as it were, in deep pools, and looking into their dark and sinister depths, one has a feeling of the many secrets they could engulf. Not even the blazing sun can redeem their sombre depths.
Careering along its way, but for these "breathers", the river finally emerges into more or less placid waters. The rocks end abruptly here and "Winters" farm is to be found on the right bank.
We portaged our canoes below the waterfalls and lowered them into the river by means of ropes. Paddling through its mile and a half of length one realises what an insignificant, puny thing, man is.
Below "Winters" farm we camped, and Barney placed George and Peter, our other two tortoises, in the river for their nightly swim. Tragedy….. next morning they were dead. They were given a sailors' burial and Barney was held for Tortoise Slaughter, to be tried at a later date. (Case proceeding).
That day our progress was swifter and farms were noticeable on either bank. After dragging one of Earl Page's cows out of a bog, we arrived at Gordon Brook Station. Here "Camel" and I (owing to time running out) had to place "Alaska" on the milk lorry and so into Grafton, to be beseiged by news hounds. I'm afraid that we weren't very informative.
Barney and Rex continued on down the Clarence and made their way leisurely into the Queen City of the North and so ended an epic fortnight.
The trip now only lives in memory, but in my album one hundred and one photographs seem to live and at times I hear the voice of a good mate saying "I don't mind walking."
We love the open air, but best of all we love the murmur of the waters.
Our Secretary and Assistant Secretary, accompanied by Bill McCosker and "Bobbie" Cooper, are away disporting themselves on the snowfields of Victoria for three weeks. At the July meeting the indefatigable Brian Harvey, assisted by Evelyn Higginbotham, acted as Secretary.
You all know by this that the Sports Carnival this year was a great success. But did you hear that the Barretts got a new sidelight on the Fire Wood Throwing Contest? A large billet of wood flew right through their tent making a hole large enough to allow Arnie to crawl through the side and out the front door!
The Club dance held on 18th July, was a wonderful turnout. We were not there, but we have it on the best authority, that the sixty-nine folks who turned up had the time of their lives. It was voted the best Club Dance ever.
Speaking of dances – If you have no partner for the Federation Ball and are staying away on that account, well don't. Just let Social Secretary, Edna Garrard have your name. She is arranging a large Bushwalker party, so just come along, lots of partners and a very jolly evening is guaranteed.
Hec Carruthers and wife are receiving congratulations on the birth of a son. They have called him Gordon. Gordon Carruthers - Scots wa hae, n'all that! We'll has t'a get oor pipers tuned up to greet the bairn!
Said the little red rooster: "Gosh, all hemlock things are tough,
Seems that worms are getting scarcer, and I can't find enough;
What's become of all the fat ones is a mystery to me,
There were thousands through that rainy spell, but now where can they be?"
The old black hen who heard him, didn't grumble or complain,
She had gone through lots of dry spells, and had lived through floods of rain.
So she flew up on the grindstone, and she gave her claws a whet,
And said: "I've never seen the time there were no worms to get."
She picked a hard and undug spot; the earth was hard and firm.
The little rooster jeered: "New ground? That's no place for a worm."
The old black hen just spread her feet, she dug both fast and free.
"I must go to the worms," she said, "The worms won't come to me."
The rooster vainly spent his days, through habit, by the ways
Where fat worms had passed in squads, back in the rainy days.
When nightfall found him supperless, he growled in accents rough,
"I'm hungry as a fowl can be – conditions sure are tough."
The old black hen hopped to her perch, and dropped her eyes to sleep,
And murmured in a drowsy tone: "Young man, hear this and weep;
I'm full of worms and happy, for I've dined both long and well,
The worms are there, as always, but – I had to dig like —-!"

Vincent van Gogh (March 30, 1853 - July 29, 1890) is generally considered the greatest Dutch painter after Rembrandt, though he had little success during his lifetime.
Before coming under the possession of the Van Gogh Museum, a Norwegian industrialist owned the painting and stored it away in his attic, having thought that it wasn't authentic.
Van Gogh suffered a mental breakdown and cut off part of his left ear, which he gave to il cenacolo vinciano immagini a startled prostitute friend.Van Gogh in Arles, van Gogh became influenced by Japanese art and began studying eastern philosophy to enhance his art and life.This morning I saw the countryside from my window a long time before sunrise, with nothing but the morning star, which looked very sconti telefoni black friday big, he wrote to his brother Theo.The painting is believed to have been created by van Gogh in 1888 around the same time that his artwork "Sunflowers" was made just two years before his death.His earliest works are somber, monumental studies of peasants, of which The Potato Eaters (1885; Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterloo, Netherlands is the outstanding example.After dropping out in 1878, he became a layman preacher in Belgium in a poor mining region known as the Borinage.The works are now displayed in museums around the world, including in Washington,.C., Paris, New York and Amsterdam.Van Gogh made some painting in Japanese style.Groot Zundert, North Brabant, Netherlands, March 30, 1853;.
Gauguin left in December 1888.
At the age of 16, van Gogh began work as a salesman at the Goupil galleries in The Hague, and in 1873 he was transferred to its London office.
It was during the last three years of his life that van Goghs style reached full maturity; he painted hundreds of pictures of various subjects.
They spent the next couple of days talking together, and then van Gogh asked Theo to take him home.When Hoornik went back to prostitution, van Gogh became utterly depressed.The painting is currently housed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York,.It features self-portraits, The Potato Eaters, The Bedroom and Sunflowers.Vincent Willem van Gogh; Dutch painter:.His fame grew rapidly after his death especially following a showing of 71 of van Gogh's paintings in Paris on March 17, 1901 (11 years after his death).

Ryans Helps Out On Off Day
It may have been his day off, but linebacker DeMeco Ryans came into Philadelphia to do a different kind of work Tuesday. To celebrate Brian Dawkins' retirement ceremony Sunday night, 10 players and 10 cheerleaders—20 total, in honor of Dawkins' number—read to the students at Comegys Elementary School in Philadelphia.
The school was also the site of the 2012 Eagles Playground Build, and Ryans was excited to return to the school and see the students again.
"It's good to be able to come out here and get in the community and read to kids, just see their interactions," Ryans said. "It's always fun seeing the smiles on their faces; seeing them out (on the playground) enjoying themselves; having a fun time. It's very important to me to be able to come back and do this."
Ryans can organize a huddle and take down charging running backs with no problem, but corralling a room full of second graders proved challenging.
"They told me I had second grade (class to read to), and I thought, 'How am I going to be able to keep their interest?'" Ryans said. "They were very good. I held—well, the book held their interest for long enough, then they were able to come out and play, so it turned out really well."
So which is easier – keeping focus in the huddle or getting a classroom full of excited kids to pay attention?
"It may equally on the same page, trying to keep everybody focused," he said. "Keeping the huddle together is a little bit easier."
Fortunately for Ryans, the only thing that may prevent him from keeping his huddle listening Sunday night will be that they can't hear him through the crowd noise at the Linc. The Dawkins number retirement ceremony promises to further ignite the fans for what is already an intense and exciting rivalry between the Eagles and Giants.
This game is Ryans' first primetime matchup as an Eagle, and he's looking forward to showing what the defense can do with the whole league focused on them.
"One thing I love about primetime games is everybody's watching," he explained. "It's always fun when you're the only show on, and the only teams playing. Everybody around the league (is) watching, so you have to bring your best game."
This game presents an opportunity for the defense to make a statement in primetime. After three games the Eagles are currently ranked fifth in overall defense and eighth against both the pass and run. To build off that success, Ryans and the defense must continue to do what has made them successful thus far.
"We have to continue to go out and do what we do," Ryans said. "Get some stops, create some turnovers. If you want to be a great defense you have to show it on Sunday night."
'No limitations' for Miles Sanders on Sunday
Sanders immediately underwent surgery after suffering a hand injury against the Giants in Week 16 to have an opportunity to play in the postseason.
Eagles vs. Buccaneers injury report
Guard Nate Herbig and defensive end Josh Sweat are questionable for Sunday.
Lane Johnson, Jason Kelce earn All-Pro honors
The two offensive linemen helped the Eagles set the franchise record for most rushing yards.
Eagles Autism Foundation announces 'Wild Card Playoff Matching Gift Challenge'
The matching gift will be offered to new and existing Eagles Autism Challenge participants to help members meet and exceed their fundraising goals for 2022.

Catching Fire Cannes Film Festival Statue
Catching Fire, the second installment in the Hunger Games film and book franchise, isn't set to appear before movie audiences for another six months, but that doesn't mean their not attempting to wow critics arriving at this year's Cannes Film Festival:
The Mockingjay is the symbol of protagonist Katniss Everdeen
I doubt critics will have a hard time missing that reminder of the second of four expected installment's in the Hunger Games series on the big screen, which interestingly enough was only three books, the last of which is too long and detailed for just a one three hour release
