Pedestrian safety steps up at Lakes Entrance
Pedestrians in Lakes Entrance will be able to cross the Princes Highway more safely with the introduction of two sets of pedestrian crossing lights.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Michael McCormack said the Australian Government was investing heavily in regional infrastructure to deliver safer and more reliable outcomes for everyone on our roads, including pedestrians.
"We are focused on upgrading rural and regional roads and these pedestrian lights are just one part of the broader package of works happening in towns along the Princes Highway," Mr McCormack said.
Victorian Minister for Roads and Road Safety Luke Donnellan said the installation of new lights will provide a real safety boost for pedestrians navigating their way around downtown Lakes Entrance.
"These lights will provide peace of mind to anyone crossing the Princes Highway, especially during holiday periods when there are more families and children enjoying all that Lakes Entrance has to offer," Mr Donnellan said.
Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester said the new lights would be installed at the intersection of the Princes Highway and Barkes Avenue and on the highway to the east of Mechanics Street and would encourage drivers to slow to safe speeds for pedestrians.
"The new lights, kerbing, footpaths, pram crossings and raised sections of road leading up the Barkes Avenue intersection will provide safer crossing points for locals and visitors to the region. The upgrades will make the shopping strip more accessible to tourists, supporting local business owners," Mr Chester said.
"Lakes Entrance is an iconic tourist destination and continued investment in the township and particularly along The Esplanade is important to help the community to grow and prosper."
State Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing said there has been a lot of support for this upgrade from locals and East Gippsland Shire Council.
"We know how busy Lakes Entrance can get, so we're making it safer for locals and visitors to get where they need to go, all year round," Ms Shing said.
Reduced speed limits and traffic management will be in force while the works take place and electronic signs will operate in the area to warn drivers.
The decision to install pedestrian lights followed from community feedback and a recommendation in the East Gippsland Shire Council's Lakes Entrance Masterplan.
Works on these traffic lights started in early October and are expected to be completed in late 2018, weather permitting.
The project is part of the $50 million Princes Highway East—Sale to NSW Border Upgrade, which is jointly funded by the Australian and Victorian governments on a 50:50 basis.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner was Nicolette Murphy's initial response after recently attending an NDIS information session organised by MSWA at the Clarkson Library. The 48-year old who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2010 said the session with MSWA's NDIS experts was more than she'd expected.
As the National Disability Scheme (NDIS) continues to roll-out across Perth and the South West, MSWA is holding an open day at its centre in Wilson to help people with their NDIS plans and showcase its latest renovations and upgrades.
The Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) announced the recommendation for listing on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) of MAVENCLAD® (cladribine tablets) for relapsing remitting MS (RRMS), subject to final approval by the Federal Health Minister.
For the thousands of Western Australians living with multiple sclerosis (MS) new treatments offer hope and relief. But for clinicians it's often challenging to know if a particular treatment is working.

Anton Berlage
Dogmatic theologian (1805-1881)
Berlage, ANTON, dogmatic theologian, b. December 21, 1805, at Munster, Westphalia; d. there, December 6, 1881. He studied philosophy and theology in the same city, after completing his course at the Gymnasium, and proceeded to the University of Bonn in 1826. Esser, at Munster, and especially Hermes, at Bonn, led him to such speculations in theology as would have proved detrimental, had he not prosecuted his studies at Tubingen, during 1829 and 1830, under Drey, Hirscher, and Mohler, who influenced him by their historic method, thus saving him from the danger of philosophical systems then prevalent in Germany. He graduated as Doctor of Theology at the University of Munich while yet a deacon, and soon after began his long career as professor in the Academy of Munster, his native town, where he taught till his death. In 1832 he was ordained priest without ever having taken a course in any ecclesiastical seminary. His first book, "Aologetik der Kirche", was published in 1835, and favorably noticed by Protestant critics. He was appointed, first, associate professor, then regular professor, lecturing on apologetics and moral theology, but he ultimately restricted himself to dogmatic theology. His influence on the theological faculty of the Academy was so marked that its spirit may be said to be his. He became dean of the faculty in 1849 and, with Bisping, Schwane, and others, established the fame of his Alma Mater, excelling less in speculation than in argument and in positive exposition of dogma. Kihn numbers him among those who discussed theological matters philosophically, while Knopfler regards him as belonging to the Tubingen school. Bruck, in his history of the Catholic Church in the nineteenth century, declares, "Berlage's writings excel in correct expression of dogmatic principles, in elegance of language, and in clearness of diction". Those who have been his pupils say that as a lecturer he was concise, direct, and refined. He garnered the fruit of his studies in seven volumes, "Katholische Dogmatik", published 1839-64.

Looks good will you be releasing a GTR2 version.
In principle somebody is preparing a GTR2 conversion (not installed for me, i can't do it).
Hi Fatguts! I hope you can share here with us when your job is finished. Do you intend to do that? We'll appreciate, for sure.
There is a guy at NoGrip that made a strange conversion, but I had a CTD.
there is much more to do in a proper conversion from GTL to GTR2 but this at least gets the track working.

I'll try again. Let's see!
Thanks for your present always when we need help. Cheers!
Beautiful track ! Many thanks mate !


Just a quick post for today. I drew these two Flash Gordon pieces based on Ardden Entertainment's new comic series. They were looking for a new artist a while back, so I submitted a few things to show them.
I didn't end up getting the gig, but it was still fun. I need to do sketches like these more often.
This may be my last blog post before the holidays-- Rod and I are leaving for New Zealand on Friday to spend Christmas and New Years with his family. I'm really looking forward to it, because I haven't been back since 2003. I'm bringing my iPhone with me (thanks to a handy international data package via AT&T), so I'll be updating my Twitter and taking photos and such.
So if I don't get another chance to say it, Happy Holidays, everyone!
Wow, I didn't know Ardden was looking for a new artist on Flash Gordon! Did you hear who got the gig? Great looking sketches, Leanne!

Re: I probably should know this, but what are "tags" exactly?
I believe they represent categories your post might fall into or topics that it covers so that someone might find it in a search if they were looking up a similar topic down the road.


My Role: Photography, production, layout design.
This is a photography project I made to discuss my life story and the differences of Southeastern and Northwestern China, especially the great physical diversity of geography.
My father comes from Fujian, Southeastern China, and my mother lives in a city called Lanzhou which is in Northwest of China. It takes 9 hours to fly to Lanzhou from his hometown. As their kid, me, who was born in the South but grew up in North. I spent almost every holiday on visiting and understanding the other hometown. I had never felt belonged anywhere or had a place to really call hometown. Because China is such a huge and diverse country, cultures and lifestyles are very different between these two regions. I could not understand the local dialects, shocked by the cultural conflict and always miss my childhood favorite snacks.
However, now I am a adult, I'm starting to feel the bright side of my identity, I learnt how to embrace those diverse backgrounds.

Among a large and growing number of states, Illinois has a bill before its legislature that would amend current child custody laws to encourage post-divorce parenting time of not less than 35% for each parent. Here's an important article on the bill.
And here's the bill itself, i.e. the underlined portions amending existing law.
The bill would add to the purposes to be achieved by divorce that it is presumptively in the best interests of children that each parent have at least 35% parenting time post-divorce.
Beyond that, it would require parents to file a parenting plan with the family court within 90 days of the divorce filing. If the parents don't do so, the judge would be required to issue a parenting order. That order would require equal parenting time unless the judge finds the parents aren't fit or that it would otherwise be in the child's best interests for less time to be allocated to one parent. In that event a minimum of 35% must be ordered to each parent. Either parent may waive his/her right to that 35% minimum. The parents are entitled to agree to any parenting time they wish.
One obvious strength of Illinois HB 5425 is that it closely conforms to the social science on family arrangements post-divorce and their impact on child well-being. As Professor Richard Warshak and 110 of his eminent colleagues worldwide have recently reported in a comprehensive review of the social science literature, when parenting time drops below that 35% threshold, the benefits to children of shared parenting start to diminish.
Another strength of the bill is that it presumes parents to be fit. Of course the presumption is rebuttable, but the fact is that most parents are entirely capable of continuing in their children's lives following divorce or separation. As we've seen from the recent survey of almost 400 child custody cases in Nebraska, the issue of fitness wasn't even mentioned about 95% of the time. And it's likely that in at least some of those in which it was made an issue, unfitness wasn't proven. In short, according to the parents themselves – parents who were otherwise none too happy with each other – there was no problem with parental fitness in almost every case.
So it seems a presumption of fitness is appropriate.
And of course the usual factors can be used to rebut the presumptions of HB 5425. So issues like child abuse, domestic violence and the like can always be raised to prevent parents who are clearly not beneficial to their children from having equal, or almost equal, custody.
As we've come to expect, any improvement in children's rights to maintain healthy, loving relationships with their fathers will get considerable opposition, and the same is true in Illinois. HB 5425 is stuck in the Rules Committee and has until March 28 to be voted out. Failure to do so will mean the death of shared parenting legislation in Illinois for this legislative session.
The linked-to article urges people to contact the bill's sponsors and ask them to have HB 5425 released from the committee. So do I. Here's a list of their names and contact information.
Please call HB 5425 sponsors John Cabello 217-782-0455, Monique Davis, 217-782-0010, JoAnn D. Osmond, 217-782-8151, William Davis, 217-782-8197. Let these representatives know that you support shared parenting and HB 5425. Specifically ask that the representative make a special request that HB 5425 be released out of Rules Committee. Be friendly but firm in your support of HB 5425 because your fair share of democracy is on the line.
Please call House Speaker Michael Madigan at 217-782-5350 or secretary "April" at 773-581-8000 and simply say "Children need BOTH parents now more than ever — Please support HB 5425." Specifically ask that the representative make a special request that HB 5425 be released out of Rules Committee.

Hungry for a mobile experience, Creative Director Joe Tropiano and I created the concept for the Arby's Roadside Meathouse. Playing off the tag 'we have the meats' we created a rustic mobile experience that housed a full to-code Arby's kitchen, capable of cooking the entire menu (and beyond). We crafted a swamp ash stage that folds for easy travel, and room for a full PA system so Arby's could tour concerts and city parks, to share some twangy tunes over some slow roasted meats and beverages...sharing a little piece of the simple life.
Along with the logo and identity, the backend of the mobile Meathouse proudly collected meat themed bumperstickers from each of the states across the US.

A visit this week to the Yakima Valley to check-out the 2017 vintage discovered one very important thing; its going to be a great vintage.
Also on the list of vineyard managers visited this week was Andrew Schultz of Elephant Mountain Vineyards. Andrew is responsible for managing Gianni's flagship Sangiovese as well as the grapes that are used for Avennio (Syrah, Mourvedre). "Deficit irrigation is crucial. Keeping the plant yearning for more water and stressing it a little helps to bring deeper flavors to the berry, "says Schultz.
As Washington grapes continue to garner worldwide attention, the giant California wineries are buying-up wineries and vineyards here.
The cool spring was welcome and, although it is virtually impossible to estimate a pick date, these managers are eying a mid-October harvest.


There has long been of tradition for popularizing 'classical' themes; presenting them in a manner far removed from the concert platform. During the 30s and 40s this practice enjoyed a tremendous vogue, with literally hundreds of popular and jazz records plundering classical composers for material. Jazzing The Classics – Vintage 30s & 40s offers a kaleidoscopic range of 26 remarkably varied examples.

You know how Eskimos have 50 words for snow? Well, Davidoff smokers must be equally sensitive when it comes to Connecticut wrapped, Dominican cigars. The differences between their lines until recently was subtle, to say the least. Guys used to fuller-bodied cigars probably can't even tell the difference between a Grand Cru and an Aniversario. Davidoff's cigars step up verrrry gradually from mild to medium bodied over the course of about six individual series. And until recently, that's as far as it went.
But someone in Geneva finally noticed that people with money smoke other kinds of cigars, too. The kind that aren't so "smooth." So now we have the Nicaragua line, and while it definitely stands out, this is still decidedly a Davidoff.
The company claims it took 10 years of work before they could "tame the wilder tendencies Nicaraguan tobacco." Thank goodness. You wouldn't want some genteel Southern gentleman to soil his seersucker suit at the first taste of untamed Nicaraguan leaf.
So what does a Nicaraguan cigar taste like after it's been beaten into submission by Davidoff's Corinthian leather bullwhip? In a word, delicious. Pretty much as you'd expect. It's basically your father's Tatuaje, and that's okay because dad has good taste.
The presentation is part of the experience. Packaged simply yet elegantly in a black slide-lid box, the robusto is also the only cigar in the line that comes in a tube. (The others being a thick toro and a short corona.) The cigar itself is a beauty to behold, with its uniformly chocolate wrapper and classic Davidoff band, this time in black instead of the traditional white.
And it's a beauty to smoke, too. Class, rather than complexity, is the order of the day here. In traditional Davidoff fashion the cigar is round and balanced, with a cafe au lait notes, some spicy earthiness and anisette. The finish is equally smooth, without the unpleasant grittiness that some Nicaraguan tobaccos can leave behind.
Davidoffs are far from cheap but they also don't seem as expensive as they once did. Don't get us wrong, we still look at some of their cigars and say, "Wow, these guys have balls." Then we see a $35 Macanudo Vintage, or a $17 (non-Cuban!) Montecristo, and all of a sudden $14 for a cigar like the Davidoff Nicaragua Robusto doesn't seem so bad — especially if the cigar is good, which this is.
In sum, the Davidoff Nicaragua Robusto is a genuine luxury experience. What else can you say about a cigar that looks this good, smells this good, tastes so good and smokes flawlessly? It may be lacking a bit in complexity and character, but those are the sins of omission you get when you file off all the rough edges. Davidoff may have "tamed" Nicaraguan tobacco, but they sure haven't rendered it bland.
Rich yet smooth, this classy cigar is more about finesse than complexity. Beautifully presented, gorgeous to look at. Take your time and relax, Davidoff style.


President Benjamin Harrison and his family introduced the first indoor White House Christmas tree in the upstairs oval room, the family's private parlor. Because the White House did not yet have electrical power, the family decorated the pine branches with candles.
Since electricity was installed at the White House in 1891, President Grover Cleveland, back for a second albeit non-consecutive term, and his family did away with the fire hazard of candles and covered the tree in lights. An avid duck hunter, President Cleveland gave each of his cabinet members a personally shot bird as a gift. Goodbye Christmas goose — say hello to the Christmas duck!
President Andrew Jackson hosted a big bash at the White House for his children and his friends' children. The highlight had to be the indoor snowball fight made possible by snowballs made of cotton balls. At the start of his second term, Jackson scored, receiving slippers, a corncob pipe, and a tobacco bag in his stocking.
President Theodore Roosevelt and his wife hosted a carnival at the White House for more than 500 children. They served a favorite of many past presidents — ice cream molded into the shape of Santa Claus. President Roosevelt did not approve of chopping down evergreens, so he banned them from the White House. However, his son smuggled one in anyways and hid it in the sewing closet.
During his time at the White House, President Calvin Coolidge presided over the first public lighting of the of the National Christmas tree. Lit by more than 2,000 red and white bulbs, the tree came from his home state of Vermont.
First lady Eleanor Roosevelt hid her family's presents in the "Christmas Closet" in the third-floor solarium. Even more impressive is that she was known to hand wrap all of them herself. To ensure that she didn't give the same gift to her five children, their spouses, and 13 grandchildren, she kept a detailed list as to who received what.
Jacqueline Kennedy established the tradition of selecting an annual theme for the tree. She chose the "Nutcracker Suite" that first year, and it became a first lady favorite. Barbara Bush and Hillary Clinton subsequently used the theme during their respective years in the White House.
Prior to 1979, Christmas was the primary winter holiday celebrated in the White House. President Carter was the first to officially recognize the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, delivering remarks in Lafayette Park while lighting the new National Menorah, a tradition that lives on today. In 1993, President Clinton hosted the first official menorah lighting inside the White House.
Over the holidays, the White House's State Dining Room always showcases a spectacular gingerbread house that can take up to five months to create. During the Clinton years, the White House's pastry chef created a replica of the first lady's girlhood home on Wisner Street in Park Ridge, Ill. The details included tiny stockings hung on the chimney with care.
Twenty-two years after the first lighting of the National Menorah, President Bush hosted the first Hanukkah party, with an 100-year old menorah on loan from the Jewish Museum in New York City. And with more than 600 guests attending his last party while in office, it was no small affair.
"Too much" was not in the vocabulary of those planning the menu for the 2006 White House holiday receptions. The spread included massive shrimp and cheese displays, stuffed turkey breasts, a cured Virginia ham, beef tenderloin, and lollipop lamb chops, in addition to a variety of sides from soufflés to tamales. For dessert, guests were tempted with a towering tree made of pecan sandies, a red hat box cake, a white pound cake wrapped in red marzipan frosting and tied with a red ribbon, and a chocolate Yule log with meringue mushrooms and white chocolate magnolia leaves, along with so much more.
With a theme of "Holidays in the National Parks," this year's treats included cookies decorated in the shapes of animals like grizzly bears, eagles, and mountain lions, and others made to look like leaves from trees such as aspens, maples, and magnolias. There was even a log cabin cake and chocolate mice.
Since moving into the White House, President Obama and his family have skipped town over Christmas and flown west to his birth state of Hawaii. One can hardly blame him for trading the cold for the sandy surf. And though he gives up the White House, he hardly downsizes, staying in a three-home compound with views of Kailua Bay and Mount Olomana. The Hawaii Reporter ran the numbers and estimates that the trip costs taxpayers about $1.5 million.
Last year, food wasn't only for eating at the White House — it was also used to decorate. Following a theme of "Simple Gifts," dried pomegranates, artichokes, and yellow pear gourds were used to make wreaths for the East Colonnade, according to Marion Burros of Rodale.com. The first lady brought back an old White House tradition of gingerbread cookie ornaments for the tree. Children helped decorate the cookies and created holiday cards using fruits and vegetables as stamps.
